huā zhāo bù cuò ， bù guò zhè diǎn xiǎo jì cè xiǎng yào hù nòng zì zhǐ shì jué wú kě néng de 。
花招不错，不过这点小计策想要糊弄自只是绝无可能的。
The trick was good, but it was utterly impossible to fool the self.
lín xuān shǒu wàn fān zhuǎn ， huàn líng tiān huǒ fú xiàn chū lái ， jiāng tā zhěng gè shǒu zhǎng bāo guǒ ， háo wú wèi jù de xiàng nà zhì rè de huǒ yàn zhuā guò qù le 。
林轩手腕翻转，幻灵天火浮现出来，将他整个手掌包裹，毫无畏惧的像那炙热的火焰抓过去了。
Lin Xuan flipped his wrist and the Illusory Heavenly Fire appeared, enveloping his entire palm. He fearlessly reached out towards the scorching flames.
xiǎo gǒu huà chéng de huǒ yàn bù shǎn bù duǒ ， duì fāng chì shǒu kōng quán zhè me zuò ， jiǎn zhí yǔ zhǎo sǐ chà bu duō 。
小狗化成的火焰不闪不躲，对方赤手空拳这么做，简直与找死差不多。
The flame, transformed from a dog, did not dodge or avoid; the other party's bare-handed approach was akin to suicide.
xiǎng bì xià yī kè ， tā de shǒu bì jiù huì bèi huà wéi huī jìn de 。
想必下一刻，他的手臂就会被化为灰烬的。
In an instant, his arm would be reduced to ashes.
“ pēng ” dì sān shēng mèn xiǎng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， lán sè yǔ hóng sè de guāng yùn liàng qǐ ， hù xiāng jiāo zhī ， lěng yǔ rè ， cī lā zhī shēng dà zuò ……
“砰”地三声闷响传入耳朵，蓝色与红色的光韵亮起，互相交织，冷与热，刺啦之声大作……
Three dull thuds echoed in his ears as blue and red light flared up, intertwining with each other. The temperature dropped sharply, producing crackling sounds...
yī shí zhī jiān ， bù fēn shèng fù 。
一时之间，不分胜负。
For a moment, it seemed they were evenly matched.
lín xuān jīng qí zhī yú ” bù nù fǎn xǐ ， zhè wàn nián huǒ shān hú ， shén miào chéng dù yuǎn yuǎn hái zài zì jǐ xiǎng xiàng zhī shàng de 。 jū rán néng gòu dǐ dǎng huàn líng tiān huǒ ！
林轩惊奇之余”不怒反喜，这万年火珊瑚，神妙程度远远还在自己想象之上的。居然能够抵挡幻灵天火！
Lin Xuan was surprised but secretly pleased. This ten-thousand-year-old fire coral was far more wondrous than he had imagined, actually able to withstand the Illusory Heavenly Fire!
xī le kǒu qì ， lín xuān hún shēn de fǎ lì fēng yōng chū qù 。
吸了口气，林轩浑身的法力蜂拥出去。
Taking a deep breath, Lin Xuan's mana surged out in all directions.
shā shí jiān ， hūn guāng dà shèng ， bìng qiě jí jù shōu suō qǐ lái ， zhuǎn shùn jiān ， jiù jiāng hóng sè de huǒ yàn bāo guǒ zài lǐ miàn ， bìng zài bù tíng de lēi jǐn suō xiǎo zhōng 。
煞时间，荤光大盛，并且急剧收缩起来，转瞬间，就将红色的火焰包裹在里面，并在不停的勒紧缩小中。
Instantly, the flames turned bright and rapidly contracted, wrapping around the red ones and tightening continuously.
jīng huáng de gǒu jiào shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà bái sè de xiǎo gǒu yòu chū xiàn le 。
惊惶的狗叫声传入耳朵，那白色的小狗又出现了。
The frightened dog bark reached his ears. The white puppy reappeared.
zhuǎ zi luàn páo ， pīn mìng de dǐ kàng ， dàn què wú jì yú shì ， hěn kuài jiù biàn chéng le yí gè bīng diāo 。
爪子乱刨，拼命的抵抗，但却无济于事，很快就变成了一个冰雕。
It frantically scratched with its paws, struggling desperately but to no avail, quickly turning into an ice sculpture.
xiǎo gǒu hái bǎo chí zhe tǔ chū shé tou páo tǔ de kě ài xíng xiàng 。
小狗还保持着吐出舌头刨土的可爱形象。
The puppy still retained its adorable image of sticking out its tongue as it dug in the ground.
lín xuān sōng le kǒu qì 。
林轩松了口气。
Lin Xuan heaved a sigh of relief.
zhuā zhè dōng xī hái zhēn bù róng yì ， xiù páo yī fú ， yī dào qīng xiá fēi lüè ér chū ， zài zhōu wéi xí juǎn ér guò ， lín xuān jiāng zhèn qí shōu rù huái lǐ 。
抓这东西还真不容易，袖袍一拂，一道青霞飞掠而出，在周围席卷而过，林轩将阵旗收入怀里。
Capturing this thing was not easy. He flicked his sleeves and a streak of green light shot out, sweeping around before he stowed away the array flag.
suí hòu huà wèi yī dào jīng hóng xiàng tiān biān fēi lüè ér qù 。
随后化为一道惊虹像天边飞掠而去。
Then, he transformed into a streak of lightning and flew towards the horizon.
yī tiān yī è yè zhī hòu ” lín xuān yǐ chū xiàn zài le wàn lǐ zhī yáo 。
一天一垩夜之后”林轩已出现在了万里之遥。
After one day and night, Lin Xuan had already appeared at a distant place, thousands of miles away.
dāng rán ， zhè diǎn jù lí ， yǐ tā de dùn sù ， zì rán shì shùn xī jí dào 。
当然，这点距离，以他的遁速，自然是瞬息即到。
Of course, such distance was nothing for his speed; it took only an instant to reach.
bù guò zhōng tú wèi le bī wèn chū wàn nián huǒ shān hú suǒ zài zhī chù ， hái zhēn fèi le yī xiē gōng fu 。
不过中途为了逼问出万年火珊瑚所在之处，还真费了一些功夫。
However, in order to force the puppy to reveal the location of the ten-thousand-year-old fire coral, he truly expended some effort.
kāi shǐ zhè xiǎo gǒu sǐ huó bù shuō ， rèn píng lín xuān gěi xī chī kǔ tóu jiù shì yī fù jiān rèn bù qū de xíng jiā
开始这小狗死活不说，任凭林轩给牺吃苦头就是一副坚韧不屈的形嘉
At first, this dog refused to speak no matter how much Lin Xuan tortured it. It remained stubborn and unyielding.
piān piān duì zhè zhǒng dōng xī ， yòu méi fēng bàn fǎ shī zhǎn jiē hún zhī shù 。
偏偏对这种东西，又没丰办法施展接魂之术。
But there was nothing Lin Xuan could do with such a thing; he couldn't perform the soul-sealing technique on it.
miàn duì “ jiān qiáng ” de xiǎo gǒu lín xuān yí dù méi zhé 。
面对“坚强”的小狗林轩一度没辙。
Facing the "stubborn" puppy, Lin Xuan was at a loss for what to do.
hòu lái yě shì jī yuán qiǎo hé ” lín xuān zài fān zhǎo xū yú dài de shí hòu ， ǒu rán jiān ná le yī méi huǒ shǔ xìng de jí pǐn jīng shí chū lái 。
后来也是机缘巧合”林轩在翻找须臾袋的时候，偶然间拿了一枚火属性的极品晶石出来。
Later, by chance, while rummaging through his pouch, he happened to pick out an upper-grade fire attribute crystal stone.
rán hòu zhè xiǎo jiā huo ” jiù lù chū chuí xián yù dī zhī sè 。
然后这小家伙”就露出垂涎欲滴之色。
The little guy's eyes immediately filled with drool.
lín xuān jiàn le ， xīn zhōng yī dòng ， jiù ná zhe zhè jí pǐn jīng shí ， dàng zuò měi cān yòu è huò ……
林轩见了，心中一动，就拿着这极品晶石，当作美餐诱垩惑……
Seeing this, Lin Xuan had a sudden idea and used the precious crystal stone as bait...
yuán běn yě méi bào duō dà xī wàng ， bù guò shì gū qiě yī shì bà le 。
原本也没抱多大希望，不过是姑且一试罢了。
He didn't hold much hope initially; it was just something to try.
jié guǒ ， què chū xiàn le ràng lín xuān wú yǔ de shì qíng 。
结果，却出现了让林轩无语的事情。
But what emerged surprised Lin Xuan.
wēi wǔ bù néng qū de xiǎo gǒu ， jū rán shì tān chī bú yào mìng ， miàn duì jí pǐn jīng shí de yòu è huò ” jū rán jiāng zì jǐ běn tǐ suǒ zài dì guāi guāi shuō chū lái le 。
威武不能屈的小狗，居然是贪吃不要命，面对极品晶石的诱垩惑”居然将自己本体所在地乖乖说出来了。
The dog that couldn’t be coerced by threats suddenly became greedy for food, revealing its location willingly in front of the crystal stone's temptation.
zhè zhǒng jié guǒ ， lín xuān gāo xìng zhī yú ， yě yǒu xiē kū xiào bù dé 。
这种结果，林轩高兴之余，也有些哭笑不得。
This outcome left Lin Xuan both happy and somewhat bewildered.
kàn lái zhè xiǎo gǒu de pí qì xìng gé ， hái zhēn bù néng yòng cháng lǐ tuī cè 。
看来这小狗的脾气性格，还真不能用常理推测。
It seemed this puppy’s temperament could not be predicted with common sense.
jí pǐn jīng shí suī rán zhēn xī ， lín xuān dào yě méi yǒu lài zhàng zhī yì ， sǐ qiú lín xíng qián hái yào gěi dùn bǎo fàn bú shì ， yú shì zài dé dào zì jǐ xiǎng yào de dōng xī ， jiù jiāng jí pǐn jīng shí ， gěi le kě ài de xiǎo gǒu chī 。
极品晶石虽然珍稀，林轩倒也没有赖账之意，死囚临行前还要给顿饱饭不是，于是在得到自己想要的东西，就将极品晶石，给了可爱的小狗吃。
Although the upper-grade crystal stone was precious, Lin Xuan didn’t hesitate to give it to the puppy as a treat. After all, he had promised food to the condemned before execution.
zhè shì yī piàn mò shēng de hǎi yù ， bǐ gāng gāng nà shān hú dǎo hái yào piān pì 。
这是一片陌生的海域，比刚刚那珊瑚岛还要偏僻。
With his desired information in hand, Lin Xuan extended his hand and activated the Black Iron Dragon Shield.
cǐ shí tiān cái mēng mēng liàng de yàng zi ， fàng yǎn wàng qù ， chú le lán sè hái shì lán sè ， qiān yú lǐ de fàn wéi zhī nèi ， lián dǎo yǔ dōu méi yǒu yī zuò 。
此时天才蒙蒙亮的样子，放眼望去，除了蓝色还是蓝色，千余里的范围之内，连岛屿都没有一座。
A blue light shield enveloped him, then he plunged into the sea with a flash of green light.
“ nǐ de běn tǐ ， jiù zài cǐ chù ？” lín xuān zhuǎn le zhuǎn tóu lú ， shēng yīn píng dàn de kāi kǒu le 。
“你的本体，就在此处？”林轩转了转头颅，声音平淡的开口了。
Lin Xuan’s descent was not hurried but steady. The water appeared deep blue at first, but as he went deeper, it gradually darkened. This wasn’t an issue; cultivators’ eyes had been refined through Essence Cleansing Pills.
“ wāng ， wāng wāng wāng 。”
“汪，汪汪汪。”
Moreover, Lin Xuan possessed Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eyes, making the depth of the sea irrelevant to him.
xiǎo gǒu de jiào shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yǎn zhōng mǎn shì yōu yuàn zhī sè ， bù shí hái yǒu kǒu shuǐ liú chū ， kàn shàng qù kě ài yòu kě xiào dào le jí chù 。
小狗的叫声传入耳朵，眼中满是幽怨之色，不时还有口水流出，看上去可爱又可笑到了极处。
However, after a quarter of an hour, Lin Xuan’s expression changed to one of surprise. Although his speed was not fast, he should have reached the seabed by now.
cǐ shí xī de zhěng gè shēn tǐ ， yǐ jiě chú le bīng fēng ” biǎo miàn huī fù zì è yóu ， bù guò àn dì lǐ què lín xuān xià le jǐ dào jìn gù 。
此时牺的整个身体，已解除了冰封”表面恢复自垩由，不过暗地里却林轩下了几道禁锢。
But as he looked down, it seemed infinitely deep.
“ fàng xīn ” zhǐ yào zhǎo dào wàn nián huǒ shān hú ， wǒ zì rán huì jiāng zhè shèng yú de líng shí gěi nǐ chī de 。” lín xuān mō le mō xiǎo gǒu de tóu ， wēi xiào zhe shuō 。
“放心”只要找到万年火珊瑚，我自然会将这剩余的灵石给你吃的。”林轩摸了摸小狗的头，微笑着说。
"Little guy, you must be lying to me," Lin Xuan's cold voice echoed. His gaze turned disapprovingly towards the puppy.
xiǎo xīn méi yǒu cuò ， tā zì rán bù xiǎng bèi yī gè xiǎo gǒu gěi piàn le 。
小心没有错，他自然不想被一各小狗给骗了。
"Woof! Woof woof."
suǒ yǐ duì fāng jí shǐ “ qū fú ” lín xuān yě jǐn shì jiāng jí pǐn jīng shí gěi xī chī le yī kǒu ， shèng xià de ， yào děng zhǎo dào wàn nián huǒ shān hú ， cái kě yǐ duì xiàn chéng nuò 。
所以对方即使“屈服”林轩也仅是将极品晶石给牺吃了一口，剩下的，要等找到万年火珊瑚，才可以兑现承诺。
The dog seemed offended and turned its head away, looking like "believe what you will." Facing Lin Xuan’s intimidation, it simply closed its eyes in defiance.
xiǎo gǒu zì rán shì yù mèn bù yǐ ， céng dà shēng wāng wāng jiào zhe kàng è yì ， rán ér lín xuān lǐ dōu bù lǐ ， bèi jiào fán le jiù gěi xī yí gè bào lì ， ràng xiǎo jiā huo míng bái le shén me jiào zuò xíng shì bǐ rén qiáng de dào lǐ 。
小狗自然是郁闷不已，曾大声汪汪叫着抗垩议，然而林轩理都不理，被叫烦了就给牺一个爆栗，让小家伙明白了什么叫做形势比人强的道理。
Such a personality?
zhè dào bú shì lín xuān qī fù dòng wù ， píng xīn lái shuō ， tā hái mán xǐ huān zhè xiǎo gǒu de ， rú guǒ yǒu kě néng ， yǐ hòu jí shǐ jiāng wàn nián huǒ shān hú liàn chéng bǎo wù ， lín xuān yě xī wàng zhè xiǎo jiā huo néng gòu huó zhe 。
这倒不是林轩欺负动物，平心来说，他还蛮喜欢这小狗的，如果有可能，以后即使将万年火珊瑚炼成宝物，林轩也希望这小家伙能够活着。
Lin Xuan couldn’t help but laugh. The dog's angry expression didn't seem fake; had he really wronged the puppy?
dāng rán ， nà shì yǐ hòu de wèn tí ， zài cóng xiǎo gǒu de jiào shēng zhōng dé dào què rèn yǐ hòu ， lín xuān shēn shǒu yī pāi ， jiāng wū jīn è lóng jiǎ dùn jì le qǐ lái 。
当然，那是以后的问题，在从小狗的叫声中得到确认以后，林轩伸手一拍，将乌金垩龙甲盾祭了起来。
Lin Xuan rubbed his nose and hesitated for a moment before deciding not to give the puppy any more trouble. He continued descending, as the ten-thousand-year-old fire coral was no small matter. Its environment might be peculiar.
huà wèi yī céng lán sè guāng zhào hù zhù le quán shēn ， rán hòu jiù hún shēn qīng máng yī shǎn ， luò rù le hǎi shuǐ lǐ miàn 。
化为一层蓝色光罩护住了全身，然后就浑身青芒一闪，落入了海水里面。
However, this did not mean he doubted anything.
lín xuān de dòng zuò bú shì hěn jí ， ér shì yǐ yún sù xiàng zhe dǐ bù chén le xià qù 。
林轩的动作不是很急，而是以匀速向着底部沉了下去。
He had to remain cautious.
fàng yǎn wàng qù ， hǎi shuǐ yī piàn zhàn lán ， dàn suí zhe shēn rù ， què jiàn jiàn biàn àn ， bù guò zhè méi yǒu wèn tí ， xiū shì de yǎn jīng běn lái jiù shì jīng guò yì jīng xǐ suǐ dì 。
放眼望去，海水一片湛蓝，但随着深入，却渐渐变暗，不过这没有问题，修士的眼睛本来就是经过易经洗髓地。
With a flick of his sleeves, two rings flew out, their silver light blinding the murky water around them.
hé kuàng lín xuān hái huì tiān fèng shén mù ， jiù shì hǎi dǐ shēn chù ， duì tā sī háo yǐng xiǎng yě wú 。
何况林轩还会天凤神目，就是海底深处，对他丝毫影响也无。
They circled and danced around him, while Lin Xuan also held a talisman in hand. This way, any sudden changes could be handled.
bù guò yī kè zhōng hòu ， lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū le jīng róng ， suī rán tā de dùn shù bù suàn kuài ， dàn zhè me jiǔ de shí jiān ， xià jiàng de shēn dù ， yě yīng gāi yǒu wàn mǐ 。
不过一刻钟后，林轩脸上露出了惊容，虽然他的遁术不算快，但这么久的时间，下降的深度，也应该有万米。
Then, he continued descending more slowly, being extra careful.
àn zhào cháng lǐ ， zǎo jiù yīng gāi dào dá le hǎi dǐ 。
按照常理，早就应该到达了海底。
The place had an extremely strange effect on his divine sense, rendering it almost useless. The range of detection was even less than Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eyes.
kě lín xuān fàng yǎn wàng qù ， xià miàn què shēn suì yǐ jí 。
可林轩放眼望去，下面却深邃以极。
Thus, Lin Xuan suspected that the puppy might have deceived him.
“ xiǎo jiā huo ， nǐ gāi bú huì piàn wǒ 。” lín xuān bīng lěng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， kàn xiàng xiǎo gǒu de biǎo qíng ， yě yǒu xiē bù shàn qǐ lái le 。
“小家伙，你该不会骗我。”林轩冰冷的声音传入耳朵，看向小狗的表情，也有些不善起来了。
After another meal's worth of time, having descended several thousand meters, Lin Xuan grew impatient when a faint light finally appeared in his line of sight.
“ wāng ” wāng wāng wāng 。”
“汪”汪汪汪。”
Could this be the seabed?
xiǎo gǒu què fǎng fú shòu dào le wǔ rǔ ， jiāng tóu piān xiàng bié chù ， yī fù nǐ ài xìn bù xìn de biǎo qíng ， miàn duì lín xuān de zhèn shè ， gān cuì bì qǐ yǎn jīng lái bù lǐ le 。
小狗却仿佛受到了侮辱，将头偏向别处，一副你爱信不信的表情，面对林轩的震慑，干脆闭起眼睛来不理了。
Lin Xuan was overjoyed and quickly took a deep breath. He activated Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eyes to their utmost capacity. Then, an unbelievable scene unfolded before him.
The trick was good, but it was utterly impossible to fool the self.
Lin Xuan flipped his wrist and the Illusory Heavenly Fire appeared, enveloping his entire palm. He fearlessly reached out towards the scorching flames.
The flame, transformed from a dog, did not dodge or avoid; the other party's bare-handed approach was akin to suicide.
In an instant, his arm would be reduced to ashes.
Three dull thuds echoed in his ears as blue and red light flared up, intertwining with each other. The temperature dropped sharply, producing crackling sounds...
For a moment, it seemed they were evenly matched.
"Hey?"
Lin Xuan was surprised but secretly pleased. This ten-thousand-year-old fire coral was far more wondrous than he had imagined, actually able to withstand the Illusory Heavenly Fire!
Taking a deep breath, Lin Xuan's mana surged out in all directions.
Instantly, the flames turned bright and rapidly contracted, wrapping around the red ones and tightening continuously.
"Woof!"
The frightened dog bark reached his ears. The white puppy reappeared.
It frantically scratched with its paws, struggling desperately but to no avail, quickly turning into an ice sculpture.
The puppy still retained its adorable image of sticking out its tongue as it dug in the ground.
Lin Xuan heaved a sigh of relief.
Capturing this thing was not easy. He flicked his sleeves and a streak of green light shot out, sweeping around before he stowed away the array flag.
