zhè zhōng jiān bāo kuò ān zhǎng lǎo ， zhì yú guō rú yǔ wú zi míng yī huǒ ， fǎn dào shì sī háo zōng jì yě wú 。
这中间包括安长老，至于郭儒与吴子明一伙，反倒是丝毫踪迹也无。
This included Elder An, while Guo Ru and Wu Ziming's group left no trace at all.
dāng rán ， zhè ge ān pái ， yě shì lín xuān shòu yì de 。
当然，这个安排，也是林轩授意的。
Of course, this arrangement was also due to Lin Xuan's instructions.
bù guò tā xiàn zài de shēn fèn ， yī jiù shì yī míng bù qǐ yǎn de wài shì zhǎng lǎo ér yǐ 。
不过他现在的身份，依旧是一名不起眼的外事长老而已。
However, his current identity remained that of an unremarkable External Affairs Elder.
zhè sān gè yuè de shēn jū qiǎn chū ， ràng lín xuān duì shān dǐng shàng de yuán yīng qī xiū shì ， dà duō bù shí dé ， là xià dùn guāng yǐ hòu ， tā yě bù yǔ qí tā rén jiāo tán ， zhí jiē zhǎo le yī chù gān jìng de dì diǎn ， pán xī zuò zài shàng miàn 。
这三个月的深居浅出，让林轩对山顶上的元婴期修士，大多不识得，落下遁光以后，他也不与其他人交谈，直接找了一处干净的地点，盘膝做在上面。
The three months of seclusion allowed Lin Xuan to recognize few of the元婴期 cultivators on the mountain. After descending in a flash of light, he did not converse with others but found a clean spot and sat cross-legged there.
jìng děng chū fā de shí jiān 。
静等出发的时间。
He waited quietly for departure time.
ér zhè yī děng ， jū rán jiù shì xiǎo bàn rì de gōng fu ， hǎo zài zhōu wéi de jiē shì xiū xiān zhě ， yí gè gè nài xìng shí zú ， liǎn shàng yī jiù mǎn shì dàn rán zhī sè 。
而这一等，居然就是小半日的功夫，好在周围的皆是修仙者，一个个耐性十足，脸上依旧满是淡然之色。
And this wait turned out to be half a day. Fortunately, all around were cultivators, each patient as they maintained their composure.
bù guò lín xuān nèi xīn shēn chù ， què rěn bú zhù yě yǒu xiē dí gū ， hóng yè nà yā tou ， jiū jìng zài gàn shén me ， rú cǐ tuō tuō lā lā de ， mò fēi zhōng jiān jū rán yǒu le shén me biàn gù ？
不过林轩内心深处，却忍不住也有些嘀咕，红叶那丫头，究竟在干什么，如此拖拖拉拉的，莫非中间居然有了什么变故？
However, Lin Xuan couldn't help feeling a bit doubtful from the depths of his heart. What was Red Leaf doing? Was something unexpected happening that caused such delays?
yòu děng le zú zú yī dùn fàn de gōng fu ， yuǎn chù de tiān biān ， tū rán chuán lái le yī zhèn xiān lè 。
又等了足足一顿饭的功夫，远处的天边，突然传来了一阵仙乐。
Another meal's worth of time passed before a sound of celestial music suddenly came from the horizon.
yǐn yǐn de ， kě yǐ kàn jiàn yī liàng huá lì de shòu chē 。
隐隐的，可以看见一辆华丽的兽车。
Faintly visible was an elegant chariot pulled by some unknown fragrant wood, enveloped in a layer of rosy light.
yóu bù zhī míng de xiāng mù suǒ zhù ， biǎo miàn bèi yī céng fěn hóng sè de guāng yùn bāo guǒ 。
由不知名的香木所铸，表面被一层粉红色的光韵包裹。
The beast pulling it had three heads and four legs, with wings on its back, looking both fierce and splendid.
lā chē de yě shòu sān tóu sì zú ， bèi shēng shuāng yì ， kàn shàng qù xiōng è ér huá lì 。
拉车的野兽三头四足，背生双翼，看上去凶恶而华丽。
Before the chariot were dozens of beautiful young girls, divided into two rows of twelve each. These women appeared to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, with clear and delicate features. Each held a palace lantern in her hand.
ér zài shòu chē zhī qián ， hái yǒu shù shí míng měi mào shào nǚ ， fēn zuǒ yòu liǎng liè ， měi liè shí èr rén 。
而在兽车之前，还有数十名美貌少女，分左右两列，每列十二人。
They moved gracefully from the sky, like celestial maidens descending to earth. Behind the chariot, two teams of soldiers stood, their banners fluttering. The strange beasts they rode looked even more ferocious, exuding an aura of robustness.
zhè xiē nǚ zǐ kàn shàng qù ， jiē zhǐ yǒu shí qī bā suì nián jì ， méi qīng mù xiù yǐ jí ， měi yí gè rén de shǒu lǐ ， dōu tí zhe yī zhǎn gōng dēng 。
这些女子看上去，皆只有十七八岁年纪，眉清目秀以极，每一个人的手里，都提着一盏宫灯。
Lin Xuan couldn't help feeling impressed by this display.
lián bù qīng yí ， huǎn huǎn cóng tiān kōng zhōng zǒu lái ， biàn fǎng fú dī luò fán chén de xiān zi yì bān ér zài shòu chē de hòu miàn ， zé shì liǎng duì jiǎ shì ， jīng qí zhāo zhǎn ， shǒu lǐ ná zhe zhǎng gē ， suǒ chéng qí de guài shòu gèng xiǎn xiōng è ， yī gǔ biāo hàn zhī qì pèi rán ér chū 。
莲步轻移，缓缓从天空中走来，便仿佛滴落凡尘的仙子一般而在兽车的后面，则是两队甲士，旌旗招展，手里拿着长戈，所乘骑的怪兽更显凶恶，一股彪悍之气沛然而出。
The grandeur and power!
lín xuān yě bù yóu de yǒu xiē dòng róng 。
林轩也不由得有些动容。
Only a Lord of an island could compare with ordinary cultivators of the same rank.
zhè pái chǎng ！
这排场！
Indeed, while both had similar levels of cultivation, there was a world of difference between them.
zhè shēng shì ！
这声势！
Even the cultivators below showed signs of excitement. After all, it took nearly a thousand years for Elder Kūmù to accumulate enough power to make Red Leaf Island what it is today. Otherwise, how could a late-stage元婴期 cultivator like Fairy Red Leaf achieve such prominence?
yī dǎo zhī zhǔ ， què jiān bú shì tóng jiē sàn xiū kě yǐ bǐ nǐ de 。
一岛之主，确尖不是同阶散修可以比拟的。
For those who wield great powers, the only thing that can move them besides the allure of immortality is authority.
zhèng què de shuō ， shuāng fāng suī yǒu xiāng tóng de jìng jiè dì wèi què shì tiān rǎng zhī bié 。
正确的说，双方虽有相同的境界地位却是天壤之别。
This was why so many cultivators, knowing their chances with the Heavenly Dao were slim, still busied themselves founding sects or establishing families.
dǐ xià nà xiē xiū shì bú yòng shuō ， biàn shì jù zài shān dǐng zhī shàng de yuán yīng qī lǎo guài wù yí gè èr gè ， liǎn shàng yě jìn xiǎn kuáng rè 。
底下那些修士不用说，便是聚在山顶之上的元婴期老怪物一个二个，脸上也尽显狂热。
From the grandeur of this outing by Fairy Red Leaf, one could see a glimpse of it all.
xī rì kū mù zhēn rén jìn qiān nián de jī lěi ， cái ràng hóng yè dǎo yǒu le jīn rì de guī mó 。
昔日枯木真人近千年的积累，才让红叶岛有了今日的规模。
A strange color flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes, but his excitement quickly faded. Unlike other cultivators, Lin Xuan's resolve was unshakable.
fǒu zé hóng yè xiān zi qū qū yī míng yuán yīng hòu qī de xiū xiān zhě ， rú hé néng gòu fēng guāng dào rú cǐ dì bù 。
否则红叶仙子区区一名元婴后期的修仙者，如何能够风光到如此地步。
What did power matter? It was just temporary glory that would eventually turn to dust. How could it compare with the allure of becoming a true immortal?
duì yú zhǎng wò dà shén tōng de xiū shì lái shuō ， chú le cháng shēng de yòu huò wéi yī néng gòu ràng tā men dòng róng de jiù shì quán shì le 。
对于掌握大神通的修士来说，除了长生的诱惑唯一能够让他们动容的就是权势了。
Only by passing through the Nine Heavens' Tribulation and ascending to the realm of True Immortals could one achieve eternal life.
zhè yě shì wèi shén me nà me duō míng zhī tiān dào wú wàng de xiū xiān zhě ， máng yú kāi zōng chuàng pài ， huò zhě jiàn lì xiū xiān jiā zú 。
这也是为什么那么多明知天道无望的修仙者，忙于开宗创派，或者建立修仙家族。
Everything else was merely fleeting clouds. Even if Lin Xuan had joined Red Leaf Island, it was only for better cultivation.
cóng hóng yè xiān zi cǐ cì chū xún de pái chǎng jiù kě yǐ kuī tàn dào yī èr le 。
从红叶仙子此次出巡的排场就可以窥探到一二了。
With his mind clear, he focused solely on his goals. Only those with a firm resolve had any chance of achieving immortality.
lín xuān de móu dǐ shēn chù ， yě shǎn guò yī lǚ yì sè ， bù guò nà xīng è fèn ， hěn kuài jiù mǐn miè diào le 。
林轩的眸底深处，也闪过一缕异色，不过那兴堊奋，很快就泯灭掉了。
In the meantime, the chariot approached him. A slender girl stepped out, her hair tied up in a bun, wearing a white palace robe that highlighted her beauty. Although not as breathtakingly beautiful as a national treasure, she was still very attractive.
yǔ qí tā de xiū shì bù tóng ， lín xuān de xiàng dào zhī xīn jiān dìng wú bǐ 。
与其他的修士不同，林轩的向道之心坚定无比。
"Salute the Lord of the Island."
quán shì yòu rú hé ， bù guò shì yī shí de fēng guāng bà le chí zǎo yě huì huà wèi mù zhōng kū gǔ ， zěn me néng yǔ chéng xiān de yòu huò xiāng bǐ ne 。
权势又如何，不过是一时的风光罢了迟早也会化为墓中枯骨，怎么能与成仙的诱惑相比呢。
The old monsters quickly stood and bowed respectfully. Lin Xuan couldn't avoid it either; he didn't want to reveal himself too much in front of so many cultivators, who might already be secretly aligned with Supreme Beast Master.
wéi yǒu dù guò jiǔ jiǔ tiān jié ， fēi shēng dào zhēn xiān zhī jiè ， cái néng yǒng shēng bù miè 。
唯有度过九九天劫，飞升到真仙之界，才能永生不灭。
Better safe than sorry. He didn't want his plans to fail at the last moment.
zhì yú qí tā de ， dōu bù guò shì fú yún ér yǐ ， jí shǐ lín xuān rú jīn jiā rù hóng yè dǎo ， yě bù guò shì wèi le néng gòu gèng hǎo de xiū liàn 。
至于其他的，都不过是浮云而已，即使林轩如今加入红叶岛，也不过是为了能够更好的修炼。
"Everyone, no need for such formalities."
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， lín xuān yǐ jiāng zá niàn pái chú wéi yǒu xīn zhì jiān dìng zhě ， cái yǒu nà me yī sī chéng xiān kě néng de 。
脑海中念头转过，林轩已将杂念排除唯有心智坚定者，才有那么一丝成仙可能的。
Fairy Red Leaf waved her hand, smiling gently as she returned their bows. This girl had only recently taken over and was still somewhat green, but she exuded a hint of authority.
ér zhè piàn kè de gōng fu ， nà shòu chē yǐ jīng lái dào yǎn qián ， guāng yùn yī shǎn ， xú xú de jiàng luò xià lái 。
而这片刻的功夫，那兽车已经来到眼前，光韵一闪，徐徐的降落下来。
After all, those in power tend to have different airs about them.
fù jìn de xiū xiān zhě liǎn sè yī biān ， lián máng ràng kāi 。
附近的修仙者脸色一边，连忙让开。
After the greetings, Lin Xuan noticed an elderly man with white hair and eyebrows standing beside Fairy Red Leaf.
bù guò rú jīn hóng yè hǎi yù qíng xíng rú hé ， hóng yè xiān zi bì jìng hái shì yī dǎo zhī zhǔ zhì shǎo cóng biǎo miàn shàng ， shì méi yǒu rén gǎn tiǎo zhàn tā quán wēi de 。
不过如今红叶海域情形如何，红叶仙子毕竟还是一岛之主至少从表面上，是没有人敢挑战她权威的。
Of course, that was Elder An. Together with Guo Ru, he was one of the two pillars of Red Leaf Island and a trusted confidant of Fairy Red Leaf.
chē mén dǎ kāi ， yī shēn cái miáo tiáo de shào nǚ zǒu le chū lái 。
车门打开，一身材苗条的少女走了出来。
However, this time, while Guo Ru stayed behind, Elder An accompanied her to pay respects at the ancestral temple.
wǎn zhe fà jì ， yī shēn xuě bái de gōng zhuāng gèng chèn dé měi rén rú yù ， hóng yè suī bú shì qīng guó qīng chéng zhī sè dàn yě shì yǒu shí fēn de zī sè 。
挽着发髻，一身雪白的宫装更衬得美人如玉，红叶虽不是倾国倾城之色但也是有十分的姿色。
"Miss, it's late; we shouldn't delay any longer. The old Lord's resting place is not too far from here."
“ cān jiàn dǎo zhǔ 。”
“参见岛主。”
Elder An's voice reached his ears. From appearances, he seemed a kind elder.
zhòng lǎo guài wù lián máng zhàn le qǐ lái ， fēn fēn gōng shēn xià bài ， lín xuān zì rán yě bù néng miǎn sú rú jīn hái bú shì bào lù shí fēn de yī kè ， zài chǎng zhè me duō xiū xiān zhě tiān zhī dào yǒu méi yǒu yǐ jīng àn zhōng tóu kào le wàn shòu zūn zhě 。
众老怪物连忙站了起来，纷纷躬身下拜，林轩自然也不能免俗如今还不是暴露十分的一刻，在场这么多修仙者天知道有没有已经暗中投靠了万兽尊者。
"Auntie An has a point. Let's board the ship then."
xiǎo xīn wú dà cuò ， zài jì huà xiǎo méi dào zuì hòu zhī qián ， tā kě bù xiǎng gōng kuī yī kuì de 。
小心无大错，在计划小没到最后之前，他可不想功亏一篑的。
Fairy Red Leaf nodded and spoke with a clear, cold voice that everyone could hear despite her seemingly gentle tone. At four hundred years old, she was still quite young for an元婴期 cultivator, given the resources in the Spirit Realm.
“ zhū wèi bù bì duō lǐ 。”
“诸位不必多礼。”
Unfortunately, Master Kūmù had passed away too early; otherwise, this woman's accomplishments would have rivaled those of Supreme Beast Master.
hóng yè xiān zi yù shǒu yī fú ， liǎn shàng dài zhe yíng yíng de xiào yì ， hái le bàn máo bǐ ， zhè yā tou ， jì rèn dǎo zhǔ bù jiǔ ， suī rán hái shāo xiǎn qīng sè ， dàn yǐn yǐn de ， yě tòu chū jǐ fēn wēi shì lái le 。
红叶仙子玉手一拂，脸上带着盈盈的笑意，还了半矛匕，这丫头，继任岛主不久，虽然还稍显青涩，但隐隐的，也透出几分威势来了。
With the Lord's order, others naturally followed. Flashing lights appeared as they all rushed toward the ancient warship.
bì jìng jiū jìng shàng wèi zhě ， qì zhì duō shǎo zǒng huì fā shēng yī xiē gǎi biàn de 。
毕竟究竟上位者，气质多少总会发生一些改变的。
Despite their numbers, there was no chaos; everything was orderly.
yī fān jiàn lǐ guò hòu ， lín xuān zhù yì dào ， yī míng bái xū bái méi de lǎo zhě ， jiù zài hóng yè shēn cè 。
一番见礼过后，林轩注意到，一名白须白眉的老者，就在红叶身侧。
Lin Xuan joined the crowd. His ship was one of the largest in the middle, Fairy Red Leaf's personal vessel.
bú yòng shuō ， nà zì rán shì ān zhǎng lǎo le ， yǔ guō rú yì qǐ ， bìng chēng hóng yè dǎo de liǎng dà zhī zhù ， yě shì hóng yè xiān zi zuì wèi yǐ zhòng de xīn fù 。
不用说，那自然是安长老了，与郭儒一起，并称红叶岛的两大支柱，也是红叶仙子最为倚重的心腹。
While it was unlikely to encounter danger on the journey, better safe than sorry!
zhǐ bù guò zhè yī cì xíng dòng ， guō rú liú shǒu ， ān zhǎng lǎo zé gēn suí jì zǔ 。
只不过这一次行动，郭儒留守，安长老则跟随祭祖。
Fairy Red Leaf's safety mattered to Lin Xuan. Being closer would allow him to protect her more effectively.
“ dà xiǎo jiě ， shí jiān bù zǎo ， wǒ men hái shì bú yào dān gē ， bì jìng lǎo dǎo zhǔ de qī shēn zhī chù ， jù lí zhè lǐ bìng bù jìn de 。”
“大小姐，时间不早，我们还是不要耽搁，毕竟老岛主的栖身之处，距离这里并不近的。”
Crystals were already fully charged; about eight cultivators controlled them.
ān zhǎng lǎo de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， cóng biǎo miàn shàng kàn ， zhè dǎo shì yī míng cí xiáng zhǎng zhě 。
安长老的声音传入耳朵，从表面上看，这倒是一名慈祥长者。
In a separate cabin near the bow, Lin Xuan used his divine sense and saw a complex rule etched before his eyes. The ship's operators floated above the array, casting spell after spell.
“ ān shū yán zhī yǒu lǐ ， hǎo ， wǒ men zhè jiù dēng chuán 。”
“安叔言之有理，好，我们这就登船。”
Wu...
hóng yè xiān zi diǎn le diǎn tóu ， yīng chún wēi qǐ ， qīng lěng de shēng yīn chuán le chū qù 。
红叶仙子点了点头，樱唇微启，清冷的声音传了出去。
An ancient voice entered his ears as the warship took off into the air. There were five ships in total: one large and four smaller ones.
kàn shì bìng bù yòng lì ， què qīng xī de luò rù měi yí gè rén de ěr lǐ ， cǐ nǚ bì jìng yě shì yuán yīng hòu qī 。
看似并不用力，却清晰的落入每一个人的耳里，此女毕竟也是元婴后期。
The main ship was seven hundred zhang long, while each of the others was about two or three hundred zhang.
shuō qǐ lái ， tā jīn nián cái sì bǎi yú suì nián jì ， jiù suàn líng jiè zī yuán fēng fù ， zhè yàng de xiū liàn sù dù yě pǒ wèi bù sú ， kě xī kū mù zhēn rén mò luò de tài zǎo le ， fǒu zé cǐ nǚ de chéng jiù ， jué bú huì dī yú wàn shòu zūn zhě 。
说起来，她今年才四百余岁年纪，就算灵界资源丰富，这样的修炼速度也颇为不俗，可惜枯木真人陌落得太早了，否则此女的成就，绝不会低于万兽尊者。
Even without considering the defensive arrays and turrets, the power required to propel such a vessel would be enormous.
dǎo zhǔ jì rán xià lìng le ， qí tā rén zì rán tīng mìng zūn cóng ， zhǐ jiàn dùn guāng dà qǐ ， fēn fēn xiàng zhe nà shàng gǔ zhàn chuán fēi qù 。
岛主既然下令了，其他人自然听命遵从，只见遁光大起，纷纷向着那上古战船飞去。
Lin Xuan wondered how such warships could compare with those used by late-stage元婴期 cultivators. Even for Separation Stage cultivators, they might not afford it.
rén shù suī duō ， què bìng méi yǒu zá luàn de gǎn jué ， jǐng rán yǒu xù 。
人数虽多，却并没有杂乱的感觉，井然有序。
These ships were more than just means of transportation; they were also formidable weapons for sieges and conquests.
This included Elder An, while Guo Ru and Wu Ziming's group left no trace at all.
Of course, this arrangement was also due to Lin Xuan's instructions.
However, his current identity remained that of an unremarkable External Affairs Elder.
The three months of seclusion allowed Lin Xuan to recognize few of the元婴期 cultivators on the mountain. After descending in a flash of light, he did not converse with others but found a clean spot and sat cross-legged there.
