jiù zhè yàng ， rì zi yī tiān tiān guò qù 。
就这样，日子一天天过去。
Day after day, time passed.
xiū xiān wú suì yuè ， bù zhī bù jué ， lín xuān lái dào jiǔ xiān chéng ， yǐ liǎng bǎi nián yǒu yú 。
修仙无岁月，不知不觉，林轩来到九仙城，已两百年有余。
In cultivation, there is no concept of years. Before Lin Xuan knew it, two hundred years had already passed since he arrived in the Nine Immortals City.
tā de zhǔ yuán yīng ， yī jiù shì lí hé chū qī ， fǎ luán lì jìn zhǎn huǎn màn wú bǐ 。
他的主元婴，依旧是离合初期，法圞力进展缓慢无比。
His main元婴 (dantian) remained at the early stage of Separation and Union, with his 法力 (qi power) progressing extremely slowly.
lín xuān bìng bù qì něi ， zhè zhǒng shì qíng ， tā zǎo jiù yǒu yù qī ， bì jìng yǔ tóng jiē xiū shì xiāng bǐ ， zì jǐ de zī zhì ， wěi shí tài guò píng yōng le xiē 。
林轩并不气馁，这种事情，他早就有预期，毕竟与同阶修士相比，自己的资质，委实太过平庸了些。
Lin Xuan was not discouraged by this. He had anticipated such a situation; after all, compared to other cultivators of the same level, his talent was rather mediocre.
bù guò tā bìng fēi yī wú suǒ huò ， lín xuān jì rán jué dìng kǔ xiū ， yòu zěn me huì bái bái jiāng guāng yīn huāng qì 。
不过他并非一无所获，林轩既然决定苦修，又怎么会白白将光阴荒弃。
However, he wasn't entirely without gains. Since Lin Xuan had decided on arduous cultivation, how could he waste his time idly?
dì èr yuán yīng yǔ yāo dān dōu jìn jiē dào le lí hé ， gēn shàng zhǔ yuán yīng de xiū luán liàn jìn dù ， rú cǐ yī lái ， tā zài jìng jiè bù biàn de qíng kuàng xià ， fǎ luán lì què shēn hòu le bèi xǔ ， qí jīng chún chéng dù ， jí shǐ bǐ zhī lí hé zhōng qī de xiū xiān zhě ， yě bú huì yǒu fēn háo de xùn sè 。
第二元婴与妖丹都进阶到了离合，跟上主元婴的修圞炼进度，如此一来，他在境界不变的情况下，法圞力却深厚了倍许，其精纯程度，即使比之离合中期的修仙者，也不会有分毫的逊色。
Both the second元婴 and the demon core had advanced to the Separation and Union stage, keeping pace with the main元婴's cultivation progress. As a result, in terms of realm unchanged, his 法力 was now twice as robust, its purity not inferior even to that of mid-stage Separation and Union cultivators.
ér shōu huò yuǎn bù zhǐ zhè yí gè 。
而收获远不止这一个。
There were many more gains beyond this.
liǎng bǎi nián jiān ， lín xuān yì zhí méi yǒu zàn tíng duì qí lín guǒ de tūn fú 。
两百年间，林轩一直没有暂停对麒麟果的吞服。
Over two hundred years, Lin Xuan had continuously ingested the Qilin Fruit without pause. Although the refined effects did not match those of genuine top-grade Qilin Fruits, the cumulative effect was significant. By the end of these two centuries, his physical body had grown incredibly strong.
suī rán tí chún hòu de xiào guǒ ， bǐ bù shàng zhēn zhèng de jí pǐn qí lín guǒ ， dàn jī shǎo chéng duō ， liǎng bǎi nián xià lái ， lín xuān ròu luán shēn yǐ qiáng hèng dào yī bù kě sī yì de dì bù 。
虽然提纯后的效果，比不上真正的极品麒麟果，但积少成多，两百年下来，林轩肉圞身已强横到一不可思议的地步。
He could no longer withstand attacks from cultivators of the same stage with their innate treasures, but if it came to an attack by a late-stage元婴 cultivator, he could easily block it without activating his shield.
yīng bù néng yìng káng tóng jiē xiū shì de běn mìng fǎ bǎo ， dàn ruò shì yuán yīng hòu qī xiū shì de gōng jī ， zé bù kāi hù zhào dǎng xià méi yǒu wèn tí 。
英不能硬扛同阶修士的本命法宝，但若是元婴后期修士的攻击，则不开护罩挡下没有问题。
This level already surpassed ordinary cultivators of the same stage. Even compared to some demon races with celestial beast bloodlines, he was not inferior.
zhè zhǒng chéng dù ， yǐ jīng shèng guò le yì bān de tóng jiē yāo zú 。
这种程度，已经胜过了一般的同阶妖族。
As for the Golden Core, Lin Xuan had ingested and refined it as well.
jiù suàn yǔ yī xiē jù yǒu tiān dì líng shòu xuè tǒng de yāo zú xiāng bǐ ， yě bù xùn sè 。
就算与一些具有天地灵兽血统的妖族相比，也不逊色。
Due to thorough preparation, there were no mishaps during the forty-nine days of refinement. It now perfectly integrated into him.
zhì yú jīn gāng shě lì ， lín xuān yě yǐ jīng tūn fú ， bìng liàn huà diào le 。
至于金刚舍利，林轩也已经吞服，并炼化掉了。
Thus, even though Lin Xuan did not practice Buddhist cultivation methods, he could still use secret techniques from the Buddhist sect.
yīn wèi zhǔn bèi chōng fèn de yuán gù ， zhōng tú méi yǒu chū chā cuò ， jīng guò qī qī sì shí jiǔ tiān de liàn huà ， yǐ yǔ tā wán měi de róng hé 。
因为准备充分的缘故，中途没有出差错，经过七七四十九天的炼化，已与他完美的融合。
Master Womoyan, a former top expert in the East Sea, had subdued dragons and tamed tigers; his cultivation techniques were formidable indeed.
rú cǐ yī lái ， lín xuān bù xiū luán xí fó mén de gōng luán fǎ ， què yě kě yǐ shǐ yòng fú zōng de mì shù 。
如此一来，林轩不修圞习佛门的功圞法，却也可以使用佛宗的秘术。
Though incomplete, many of these techniques remained intact. After sorting through them, Lin Xuan picked out several useful ones.
ér wò méi chán shī zuò wéi xī rì de dōng hǎi dì yī gāo shǒu ， xiáng lóng fú hǔ ， qí gōng luán fǎ de wēi lì zì bù yòng tí 。
而卧眉禅师作为昔日的东海第一高手，降龙伏虎，其功圞法的威力自不用提。
Sharp-Eyed Perception!
suī yīn cán quē bù quán ， bù néng xiū luán liàn ， dàn lǐ miàn xǔ duō shén tōng ” mì shù ， què shì wán zhěng de 。
虽因残缺不全，不能修圞炼，但里面许多神通”秘术，却是完整的。
This was a famous secret technique from the Buddhist sect. It claimed that when perfected, one could see through all illusions and restrictions in this world, making it one of the most renowned spiritual eye techniques in the spirit realm.
lín xuān jīng guò yī fān zhěng lǐ ” cóng lǐ miàn tiāo chū le jǐ yàng duì zì jǐ yǒu yòng de dōng xī 。
林轩经过一番整理”从里面挑出了几样对自己有用的东西。
Whether it surpassed Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eyes was still debatable.
jiān yǎn tōng ！
尖眼通！
However, mastering the Eye of Wisdom was incredibly difficult and required a significant amount of 法力. To reach its pinnacle, one would need to advance all the way to late-stage Tribulation Transcendence.
zhè shì fó mén dà míng dǐng dǐng de mì shù shén tōng 。
这是佛门大名鼎鼎的秘术神通。
The Separation and Union stage merely met the basic conditions for cultivation. Even if perfected, it wouldn't be very useful.
jù shuō xiū luán liàn dào jí zhì ， kě yǐ kàn pò shì jiān yī qiè huàn shù jìn zhì ， nǎi shì líng jiè zuì fù shèng míng de líng yǎn mì shù zhī yī 。
据说修圞炼到极致，可以看破世间一切幻术禁制，乃是灵界最富盛名的灵眼秘术之一。
Many Buddhist cultivators had some knowledge of this technique.
yǔ tiān fèng shén mù shú qiáng shú ruò ， yě hái shì liǎng shuō 。
与天凤神目孰强孰弱，也还是两说。
Seeing this, Lin Xuan initially lost interest but then thought: Could there be a synergistic effect between Sharp-Eyed Perception and Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eyes?
bù guò tiān yǎn tōng xiū luán xí qǐ lái tài guò jiān nán shēn sè ， ér qiě yǔ fǎ luán lì chéng zhèng bǐ ” xiǎng yào xiū luán liàn dào jí zhì ， chú fēi yì zhí jìn jiē dào dù jié hòu qī 。
不过天眼通修圞习起来太过艰难深涩，而且与法圞力成正比”想要修圞炼到极致，除非一直进阶到渡劫后期。
The answer could only be found by trying.
lí hé bù guò shì gāng mǎn zú xiū luán liàn de tiáo jiàn ér yǐ 。
离合不过是刚满足修圞炼的条件而已。
Since the Eye of Wisdom became more complex as one advanced, it was relatively easy to master at its early stages.
jí shǐ liàn chéng le yòng chǔ yě bù dà 。
即使炼成了用处也不大。
Thus, in his meditation, Lin Xuan also set aside time for practice.
xǔ duō fó mén xiū shì duō shǎo dōu shè liè le yī xiē 。
许多佛门修士多少都涉猎了一些。
Indeed, mastering it proved surprisingly simple. At the early stage of Separation and Union, he could only cultivate the first layer of the Eye of Wisdom.
lín xuān kàn dào zhè lǐ ， yuán běn yǐ shī qù le xìng qù ， bù guò zhuǎn niàn yī xiǎng 。
林轩看到这里，原本已失去了兴趣，不过转念一想。
After less than a year, he successfully refined it.
cǐ mì shù yǔ tiān fèng shén mù ， huì bú huì yǒu dié jiā de xiào guǒ ？
此秘术与天凤神目，会不会有叠加的效果？
One day, Lin Xuan sat cross-legged, regulated his breathing, then followed Buddhist scriptures to channel his 法力 into his eyes. Immediately, a faint golden glow appeared on his eyelids, barely noticeable by others.
xiǎng zì rán shì dé bú dào dá è àn de ， bì xū yī shì cái kě 。
想自然是得不到答垩案的，必须一试才可。
Lin Xuan looked around and found that everything became incredibly clear, but other changes were minimal.
fǎn zhèng tiān yǎn tōng shì yuè dào hòu miàn yuè shēn sè ， qián miàn hái shì hěn hǎo liàn chéng de 。
反正天眼通是越到后面越深涩，前面还是很好炼成的。
Frowning, he stood up and went outside the cave.
yú shì lín xuān zài dǎ zuò zhī yú ， yě chōu luán chū yí dìng de shí jiān liàn xí 。
于是林轩在打坐之余，也抽圞出一定的时间练习。
The sky was still early; dense white fog enveloped the valley.
rù mén guǒ rán qīng luán sōng wú bǐ ” lí hé chū qī zhǐ néng xiū luán liàn tiān yǎn tōng de dì yī céng 。
入门果然轻圞松无比”离合初期只能修圞炼天眼通的第一层。
A flash of golden light from his eyes pierced through the fog. But it only extended a hundred meters before becoming hazy again.
lín xuān jǐn huā le bú dào yī nián de shí jiān jiù qīng luán sōng liàn chéng 。
林轩仅huā了不到一年的时间就轻圞松炼成。
"Hmph, the effect of the first layer of Eye of Wisdom is indeed too weak. No wonder many great Buddhist cultivators don't even bother with it. But if combined with Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eyes, what would its power be?"
zhè rì ， lín xuān pán xī ér zuò ， yùn qì tǔ nà piàn kè ， suí hòu zhào fú luán jīng suǒ jì shù ， jiāng fǎ luán lì yùn yú shuāng mù ， dùn shí tā de yǎn pí zhī shàng ， fú xiàn chū yī céng dàn dàn jīn máng ， wēi ruò zhī jí ， sī háo bú huì yǐn qǐ páng rén de zhù yì 。
这日，林轩盘膝而坐，运气吐纳片刻，随后照佛圞经所记述，将法圞力运于双目，顿时他的眼皮之上，浮现出一层淡淡金芒，微弱之极，丝毫不会引起旁人的注意。
Lin Xuan muttered to himself.
lín xuān tái yǎn xiàng yī páng wàng qù ， suǒ yǒu de jǐng wù biàn dé qīng xī wú bǐ ， dàn qí yú de gǎi biàn ， què shì wēi hū qí wēi de 。
林轩抬眼像一旁望去，所有的景物变得清晰无比，但其余的改变，却是微乎其微的。
He then took a deep breath and his eyes turned into a kaleidoscope, the golden glow on his eyelids reflecting off them, making him look eerie and mysterious.
méi tou yí zhòu ， lín xuān zhàn le qǐ lái ， lái dào dòng fǔ de wài miàn 。
眉头一皱，林轩站了起来，来到洞府的外面。
The combined effect was different; all the fog became transparent. Lin Xuan felt elated as he looked left at an array of illusions he had set up. Even if it couldn't withstand Separation and Union cultivators, once trapped inside, one would suffer greatly to break free.
cǐ shí tiān sè shàng zǎo ， shān ào jiān mí màn zhe nóng nóng de bái wù 。
此时天色尚早，山坳间弥漫着浓浓的白雾。
However, under the combined power of both spiritual eyes, all illusions vanished into nothingness.
lín xuān yǎn zhōng jīn máng yī shǎn ” dùn shí jiāng bái wù guàn chuān 。
林轩眼中金芒一闪”顿时将白雾贯穿。
Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eyes alone could not achieve such results.
dàn yě bù guò bǎi zhàng ér yǐ ， suí hòu yòu biàn dé mó mó hú hú dì 。
但也不过百丈而已，随后又变得模模糊糊地。
Lin Xuan's lips curled into a smile.
“ hēng ， zhè tiān yǎn tōng dì yī céng de xiào guǒ ， què shí tài ruò ， guài bù dé hǎo duō fó mén dà néng ” gēn běn jiù kàn bù shàng yǎn le ， bù guò ruò néng yǔ tiān fèng shén mù dié jiā ， wēi lì yòu huì rú hé ？”
“哼，这天眼通第一层的效果，确实太弱，怪不得好多佛门大能”根本就看不上眼了，不过若能与天凤神目叠加，威力又会如何？”
Choosing Eye of Wisdom was indeed correct.
lín xuān nán nán zì yǔ de kāi kǒu le 。
林轩喃喃自语的开口了。
In addition to Eye of Wisdom, Lin Xuan also practiced "Dragon Elephant Subduing Demons Technique." It sounded like a cultivation method but was actually a secret technique that increased strength after practice. This was commonly used by Buddhist physical culture practitioners.
suí hòu xī le kǒu qì ” móu dǐ shēn chù biàn dé wǔ cǎi liú lí ， yǔ yǎn pí de jīn máng jiāo xiāng huī yìng ” xiǎn de guǐ yì ér yòu shén mì 。
随后吸了口气”眸底深处变得五彩琉璃，与眼皮的金芒交相辉映”显得诡异而又神秘。
It far surpassed the Great Strength Spell from the Five Actions School; they were incomparable.
liǎng zhě dié jiā ， wēi lì yòu zì bù tóng ， suǒ yǒu de bái wù ， dōu biàn dé tòu luán míng qǐ lái le ， lín xuān xīn zhōng yī xǐ ， zhuǎn shǒu xiàng zuǒ cè wàng qù ， zài nà lǐ ， tā céng bù zhì le yí gè huàn zhèn 。
两者叠加，威力又自不同，所有的白雾，都变得透圞明起来了，林轩心中一喜，转首像左侧望去，在那里，他曾布置了一个幻阵。
Ingesting Qilin Fruit only made his body incredibly strong, but it did not increase his strength. The Dragon Elephant Subduing Demons Technique seemed tailor-made for him, and he wouldn't let this opportunity slip by.
jiù suàn dǎng bú zhù lí hé qī xiū xiān zhě ， rán ér yí dàn xiàn jìn qù ， yě bú huì hǎo guò ， xiǎng yào pò luán jiě ， huì fèi shàng bù shǎo de gōng fu 。
就算挡不住离合期修仙者，然而一旦陷进去，也不会好过，想要破圞解，会费上不少的工夫。
He began practicing it with great satisfaction. This technique was simple; the condition was that its power increased in proportion to his physical strength.
rán ér zài liǎng zhǒng líng mù shén tōng de dié jiā xià ， suǒ yǒu de huàn shù ， què guī yú xū wú 。
然而在两种灵目神通的叠加下，所有的幻术，却归于虚无。
Ordinary Buddhist cultivators, even if proficient in physical culture, could not match Lin Xuan's strength.
guāng shì tiān fèng shén mù ， yuǎn yuǎn dá bú dào zhè yàng de xiào guǒ 。
光是天凤神目，远远达不到这样的效果。
As his body grew stronger, so did his strength.
lín xuān de zuǐ jiǎo biān lù luán chū yī sī xǐ sè 。
林轩的嘴角边露圞出一丝喜色。
Time passed swiftly for a cultivator. Two hundred years were but a blink of an eye.
zhè tiān yǎn tōng de xuǎn zé ， hái zhēn shì méi cuò 。
这天眼通的选择，还真是没错。
Lin Xuan remained at the early stage of Separation and Union, but his power was far beyond what it had been before. If he encountered the demon host's body again now, he wouldn't be chased to heaven or earth; killing him would be no problem.
lín xuān suǒ xuǎn xiū de fó mén shén tōng bìng bù zhǐ zhè yí gè 。
林轩所选修的佛门神通并不止这一个。
A man who has been away for three days should be regarded with new eyes, let alone Lin Xuan, who had undergone two hundred years of arduous cultivation.
hái yǒu “ lóng xiàng fú mó gōng ” tīng qǐ lái xiàng shì yī zhǒng gōng luán fǎ ， qí shí bù rán ， zhè shì yī zhǒng xiū luán xí hòu kě yǐ zēng luán jiā lì liàng de mì shù ， nǎi shì fú zōng liàn tǐ shì cháng yòng de yī zhǒng shén tōng 。
还有“龙象伏魔功”听起来像是一种功圞法，其实不然，这是一种修圞习后可以增圞加力量的秘术，乃是佛宗炼体士常用的一种神通。
During this century, the entire East Sea cultivator world seemed restless.
yuǎn bú shì wǔ luán xíng fǎ shù zhōng de jù lì shù kě bǐ ， liǎng zhě bù kě tóng rì ér yǔ 。
远不是五圞行法术中的巨力术可比，两者不可同日而语。
The relationship between the three races suddenly became tense, though a full-scale war was not imminent. Many factions were secretly preparing for battle. The reason behind it remained unclear.
qí lín guǒ fú yòng hòu zhǐ shì ràng ròu luán shēn qiáng hèng wú bǐ ， duì yú lì liàng ， què méi yǒu shén me zēng fú ， zhè lóng xiàng fú mó gōng ， jiǎn zhí xiàng shì wèi zì jǐ liàng shēn dìng zuò ， lín xuān zì rán bú huì fàng guò 。
麒麟果服用后只是让肉圞身强横无比，对于力量，却没有什么增幅，这龙象伏魔功，简直像是为自己量身定做，林轩自然不会放过。
Previously, wars always had a trigger; this sudden tension lacked any clear cause.
yě kāi shǐ xiū luán xí ， qiě jìn zhǎn shí fēn lìng rén mǎn yì ， cǐ shén tōng bìng bù fán fù ， tiáo jiàn zhǐ yǒu yí gè ， yǔ ròu luán shēn qiáng dù chéng zhèng bǐ ， ròu luán shēn qiáng le ， cǐ shén tōng jiù xiāng yìn kě yǐ fā huī chū jīng rén de wēi lì 。
也开始修圞习，且进展十分令人满意，此神通并不繁复，条件只有一个，与肉圞身强度呈正比，肉圞身强了，此神通就相印可以发挥出惊人的威力。
There were even rumors that the six kings of the sea race had gathered to discuss several times. On the demon side, the three emperors frequently met as well.
yì bān de fó mén xiū shì ， jiù suàn jīng shàn liàn tǐ ， yòu rú hé néng yǔ lín xuān xiāng bǐ 。
一般的佛门修士，就算精擅炼体，又如何能与林轩相比。
As for the human race, although no general mobilization order was issued, it was rumored that many Profound Mysteries realm cultivators had been summoned by the Holy City.
suí zhe ròu luán shēn yì diǎn diǎn qiáng hèng ， tā de lì qì ， yě shì yǔ rì jù zēng 。
随着肉圞身一点点强横，他的力气，也是与日俱增。
Rumors spread like wildfire, but they did not concern Lin Xuan. He was now solely troubled by a lack of medicinal pills.
shí guāng rú bái jū guò xì ， duì xiū shì lái shuō ， liǎng bǎi nián ， bù guò dàn zhǐ yī huī jiān 。
时光如白驹过隙，对修士来说，两百年，不过弹指一挥间。
Both his second元婴 and demon core had reached Separation and Union. All the cultivation techniques he needed to refine were already refined. His strength had increased significantly, but there was still no sign of medicinal pills that could enhance 法力.
lín xuān yī jiù shì lí hé chū qī ， dàn shí lì què yuǎn fēi dāng rì kě bǐ ， rú guǒ xiàn zài de tā ， zài pèng jiàn dú luán lóng mó zǔ de fù shēn zhī tǐ ， gēn běn jiù bú huì bèi zhuī dé shàng tiān rù dì ， jiāng duì fāng miè shā le méi wèn tí 。
林轩依旧是离合初期，但实力却远非当日可比，如果现在的他，再碰见毒圞龙魔祖的附身之体，根本就不会被追得上天入地，将对方灭杀了没问题。
What should he do?
Day after day, time passed.
In cultivation, there is no concept of years. Before Lin Xuan knew it, two hundred years had already passed since he arrived in the Nine Immortals City.
His main元婴 (dantian) remained at the early stage of Separation and Union, with his 法力 (qi power) progressing extremely slowly.
