wǔ kuàng xíng zhēn jiě méi yǒu píng jǐng ， lǐ lùn bo hěn róng yì chéng xiān ， kě wàn wù zì yǒu qí guī zé ， xiū xiān zhě de gōng kuàng fǎ yě shì yī yàng de 。
五卝行真解没有瓶颈，理论卜很容易成仙，可万物自有其规则，修仙者的功卝法也是一样的。
Five Elements True Explanation had no limits, making it theoretically easy to achieve immortality. However, all things have their own rules, and cultivation techniques for cultivators are the same.
chéng xiān yào lì jīng kǎn kě ， yòu zěn me kě néng yǒu jié jìng yī shuō 。
成仙要历经坎坷，又怎么可能有捷径一说。
It was impossible to find a shortcut in achieving immortality; one would inevitably face many trials and tribulations.
wǔ kuàng xíng zhēn jiě zhǐ néng xiū kuàng liàn dào lí hé qī dà chéng ， gēn běn jiù bù kě néng jìn jiē dào dòng xuán qī de 。
五卝行真解只能修卝炼到离合期大成，根本就不可能进阶到洞玄期的。
The Five Elements True Explanation could only refine one up to the Great Success stage of the Separation and Union Realm, making it impossible to advance to the Profound Void Realm. There were no further cultivation techniques after that.
méi yǒu hòu miàn de gōng kuàng fǎ le 。
没有后面的功卝法了。
Tianyi Senior Monk naturally was not content with his path ending here. Thus, he endured much hardship and found another cultivation technique to continue refining.
tiān yǐ shàng rén zì rán bù gān xīn zì jǐ de xiū xiān zhī lù jiù zhǐ yú cǐ chù ， yú shì tā lì jīng xīn kǔ ， chóng xīn zhǎo le yī bù gōng kuàng fǎ ， zhǔn bèi jì xù xiū kuàng liàn xià qù de 。
天蚁上人自然不甘心自己的修仙之路就止于此处，于是他历经辛苦，重新找了一部功卝法，准备继续修卝炼下去的。
However, the side effects of practicing the Five Elements True Explanation began to manifest at this time.
rán ér xiū kuàng liàn wǔ kuàng xíng zhēn jiě de fù zuò yòng què zài zhè shí hòu kāi shǐ xiǎn lù 。
然而修卝炼五卝行真解的副作用却在这时候开始显露。
He almost fell into madness from overexertion.
tā chà diǎn zǒu kuàng huǒ kuàng rù kuàng mó 。
他差点走卝火卝入卝魔。
Even after switching to a different technique, it was the same result.
hòu lái huàn le bù gōng kuàng fǎ yě shì yī yàng de 。
后来换了部功卝法也是一样的。
After nearly a century of exploration, this senior finally confirmed an outcome that disappointed him. The Five Elements True Explanation had exclusivity; once one practiced it, they could no longer learn other techniques, otherwise, they would fall into madness.
jīng guò jìn bǎi nián de tàn kuàng suǒ ， zhè wèi qián bèi zhōng yú zhèng shí le yí gè lìng tā jǔ sàng de jié guǒ ， zhè wǔ kuàng xíng zhēn jiě jū rán shì jù yǒu pái tā xìng zhì dì 。
经过近百年的探卝索，这位前辈终于证实了一个令他沮丧的结果，这五卝行真解居然是具有排他性质的。
Seeing this, Lin Xuan couldn't help but marvel.
yě jiù shì shuō ， yí dàn xiū kuàng liàn le wǔ kuàng xíng zhēn jiě ， jiù zài yě bù néng xué xí qí tā de gōng kuàng fǎ le ， fǒu zé zhǐ yǒu yí gè jié guǒ ， zǒu huǒ 。
也就是说，一旦修卝炼了五卝行真解，就再也不能学习其他的功卝法了，否则只有一个结果，走火。
However, he wasn’t overly surprised by the result, as such a conclusion was expected.
kàn dào zhè lǐ ， lín xuān yī zhèn zé zé chēng qí 。
看到这里，林轩一阵啧啧称奇。
Regardless, the Five Elements True Explanation was still an extraordinary book. In the mortal world, even in the Spirit Realm where resources were abundant, low-ranking cultivators made up the majority. Out of one thousand people, it was unlikely that one could successfully form a丹 (dantian), let alone achieve the Separation and Union realm. The weakness of this technique was nothing compared to their current situation.
bù guò yě méi yǒu tài duō yì wài de qíng xù ， zhè zhǒng jié guǒ yě shì yù liào zhī zhōng dì 。
不过也没有太多意外的情绪，这种结果也是预料之中地。
At least they could stand on equal footing with late-stage元婴 (yuanling) cultivators, and since their realm was Separation and Union, they still had two thousand years of lifespan.
bù guǎn rú hé ， zhè wǔ kuàng xíng zhēn jiě yě shì yī bù qí shū 。
不管如何，这五卝行真解也是一部奇书。
If this book were to fall into the wrong hands, it would change the entire cultivation world's landscape, making low-ranking cultivators envious.
rén jiè bù shuō ， jiù suàn líng jiè zī yuán fēng fù ， qí shí yī jiù shì dī jiē xiū shì zhàn dà duō shù 。
人界不说，就算灵界资源丰富，其实依旧是低阶修士占大多数。
With these thoughts in mind, Lin Xuan waved his sleeves, and a beam of light shot out, retrieving the green jade cylinder. As expected, its contents detailed the Five Elements True Explanation.
yī qiān gè rén zhōng ， yě wèi bì yǒu yī rén néng gòu jié dān chéng gōng ， gèng bú yào shuō yuán yīng lí hé ， xiū kuàng liàn cǐ gōng kuàng fǎ shén tōng ruò yòu suàn dé le shén me 。
一千个人中，也未必有一人能够结丹成功，更不要说元婴离合，修卝炼此功卝法神通弱又算得了什么。
Lin Xuan tucked it into his怀 (hui) (chest).
zhì shǎo yě néng yǔ yuán yīng hòu qī de xiū shì píng qǐ píng zuò ， ér qiě jìng jiè shì lí hé ， yě jiù shì shuō ， shòu yuán hái shì yǒu liǎng qiān nián de 。
至少也能与元婴后期的修士平起平坐，而且境界是离合，也就是说，寿元还是有两千年的。
Tianyi Senior Monk’s account of his life was extremely detailed, apart from describing the main cultivation technique, he also recounted some of his experiences in the Spirit Realm. The most important part was how he obtained these blood and fire ants. He ascended much earlier than Lin Xuan, a million years ago, and these strange insects were a stroke of luck found in a desolate region.
rú guǒ zhè bù shū liú luò chū qù ， jiǎn zhí kě yǐ gǎi biàn zhěng gè xiū xiān jiè de gé jú ， ràng nà xiē zī zhì chà de xiū shì yǎn hóng bù yǐ 。
如果这部书流落出去，简直可以改变整个修仙界的格局，让那些资质差的修士眼红不已。
However, this desolate region had nothing to do with the Eastern Sea; it was located in another small plane within the Spirit Realm. It was an ancient giant’s ruins, vast beyond imagination. Alongside the blood and fire ants, he also obtained a treasure: the Ten Thousand Souls Tower.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， lín xuān xiù páo yī fú ， yī dào guāng xiá fēi lüè ér chū ， jiāng nà cuì lǜ de yù tóng jiǎn qǔ dào le shǒu zhōng ， bú yòng shuō ， lǐ miàn suǒ jì zǎi de ， jiù shì 《 wǔ kuàng xíng zhēn jiě 》 de nèi róng 。
脑海中念头转过，林轩袖袍一拂，一道光霞飞掠而出，将那翠绿的玉瞳简取到了手中，不用说，里面所记载的，就是《五卝行真解》的内容。
The origin of this item was no trivial matter; even among the Through Heaven Treasures, it ranked highly. In fact, it somewhat resembled the Hundred Spirit Bell, both being auxiliary treasures.
lín xuān jiāng xī chuāi rù huái zhōng 。
林轩将牺揣入怀中。
However, the Ten Thousand Souls Tower’s auxiliary effects were more profound. Essentially, it was a spirit beast bag, but the highest-grade one. It could be used to nurture various spirit beasts and insects.
ér tiān yǐ shàng rén duì zì jǐ shēng píng de jì zǎi ， xiáng xì yǐ jí ， chú le guān yú zhǔ xiū gōng kuàng fǎ de miáo shù , hái jiǎng le tā zài líng jiè de yī xiē jīng lì 。
而天蚁上人对自己生平的记载，详细以极，除了关于主修功卝法的描述,还讲了他在灵界的一些经历。
It had nurturing and maturation properties. Placing spirit beasts or insects inside, the Ten Thousand Souls Tower would absorb the natural essence qi from the surroundings, nourishing them for faster maturity.
qí zhōng zuì zhòng yào de ， jiù shì rú hé dé dào le zhè xiē xuè huǒ yǐ 。
其中最重要的，就是如何得到了这些血火蚁。
Moreover, the space within the Ten Thousand Souls Tower was vast; it was a must-have treasure, but humans and ordinary beasts couldn't enter it. However, once they became spirit beasts, they could be placed inside.
tā fēi shēng de shí jiān bǐ zì jǐ zǎo dé duō ， shì yì bǎi wàn nián qián dé dào shì le ， zhè xiē qí chóng nǎi shì jī yuán qiǎo hé ， zài yī mán huāng suǒ de 。
他飞升的时间比自己早得多，是一百万年前得到事了，这些奇虫乃是机缘巧合，在一蛮荒所得。
The reason behind this, Lin Xuan didn’t know.
bù guò mán huāng yǔ dōng hǎi kě shì sī háo guān xì yě wú ， nǎi shì wèi yú líng jiè lìng wài yí gè xiǎo jiè miàn de 。
不过蛮荒与东海可是丝毫关系也无，乃是位于灵界另外一个小界面的。
Through Heaven Treasure!
nà shì yī zuò shàng gǔ jù rén de fèi xū ， chéng chí páng dà wú bǐ ， ér yǔ xuè huǒ yǐ yī tóng dé dào de ， hái shì yī jiàn bǎo wù 。
那是一座上古巨人的废墟，城池庞大无比，而与血火蚁一同得到的，还是一件宝物。
Lin Xuan rejoiced immensely after reading Tianyi Senior Monk’s introduction. Even among treasures, there were grades, and the Ten Thousand Souls Tower was clearly superior to the Hundred Spirit Bell. It could even accelerate the maturation of spirit insects; how could he not be happy about that?
wàn hún tǎ 。
万魂塔。
Moreover, for blood and fire ants, this treasure was a perfect match. After all, their individual strength was negligible, but they relied on quantity.
cǐ wù de lái lì cái shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， jí shǐ zài tōng kuàng tiān líng bǎo zhōng yě shì pái míng qián liè de 。
此物的来历才是非同小可，即使在通卝天灵宝中也是排名前列的。
Hundreds of thousands or millions were still manageable, but once they reached tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, where would one put them? The Ten Thousand Souls Tower solved this problem.
shuō qǐ lái ， yǔ bǎi líng zhōng dào yǒu jǐ fēn xiāng sì ， dōu zhǐ shì fǔ zhù xíng de wú bǎo 。
说起来，与百灵钟倒有几分相似，都只是辅助型的吴宝。
Lin Xuan’s expression brightened as he bent down to retrieve the unremarkable-looking Ten Thousand Souls Tower. It had seven layers and appeared somewhat dilapidated. If not for its description, who would have thought it was a highly sought-after Through Heaven Treasure.
rán ér wàn hún tǎ de fǔ zhù xiào guǒ gèng wéi chè dǐ 。
然而万魂塔的辅助效果更为彻底。
Without mastering the Through Treasure Technique, he couldn’t use it temporarily, but that didn’t prevent him from pouring his divine awareness into it. A solitary space then appeared before his eyes.
shuō chuān le ， xī jiù shì yí gè líng shòu dài , zhǐ bù guò shì zuì zuì gāo jí de nà zhǒng 。
说穿了，牺就是一个灵兽袋,只不过是最最高级的那种。
Green mountains and clear waters were more expansive than he imagined. He found the whereabouts of three queen ants.
kě yǐ yòng lái sì yǎng gè zhǒng líng shòu líng chóng 。
可以用来饲养各种灵兽灵虫。
Only three, a bit less, but that was fine; just like plants, as long as there was one seed, they could always find ways to increase their numbers.
jù yǒu yǎng yuán cuī shú de zuò yòng 。
具有养元催熟的作用。
Lin Xuan also tucked the Ten Thousand Souls Tower into his怀 (hui).
jiāng líng shòu líng chóng fàng zài lǐ miàn ， zhè wàn hún tǎ kě yǐ xī shōu tiān dì líng qì ， duì líng shòu líng chóng jìn xíng zī bǔ ， yǒu lì yú tā men jǐn kuài chéng shú 。
将灵兽灵虫放在里面，这万魂塔可以吸收天地灵气，对灵兽灵虫进行滋补，有利于他们尽快成熟。
Other treasures wouldn’t be overlooked either. This time, he had to admit, his luck was truly impeccable. Originally, he wanted to take a break and see how much his strength had increased after advancing to the Separation and Union middle stage. Who would have thought that such good fortune awaited him on this small island of ordinary people.
ér qiě zhè wàn hún tǎ zhōng de kōng jiān jí wéi guǎng kuò ， gēn běn jiù shì yī xū yú zhī bǎo ， kě xī rén yǔ yì bān de yāo zú dōu jìn bù qù ， bù guò yāo zú zài chéng wéi líng shòu yǐ hòu ， dǎo shì kě yǐ fàng rù qí zhōng 。
而且这万魂塔中的空间极为广阔，根本就是一须臾之宝，可惜人与一般的妖族都进不去，不过妖族在成为灵兽以后，倒是可以放入其中。
The concept of fate is indeed hard to fathom with conventional logic, but this time, it seemed like good deeds were rewarded.
zhì yú yuán yīn rú hé ， lín xuān jiù bù zhī dào le 。
至于原因如何，林轩就不知道了。
Lin Xuan’s thoughts turned as he thoroughly searched the You Mansion, confirming there were no other treasures. Then, he waved his sleeves and a sword light shot out. Despite the rock's hardness, one could see a deep pit after Lin Xuan’s strike.
tōng kuàng tiān líng bǎo ！
通卝天灵宝！
Though the cultivation world was filled with bloodshed, it valued benefits, but one should still be grateful. He had received two treasures from Tianyi Senior Monk; both emotionally and logically, he should let him rest in peace.
lín xuān dà xǐ ， zài kàn le tiān yǐ shàng rén de jiè shào yǐ hòu ， gèng shì xīng kuàng fèn yǐ jí ， jí biàn tóng wèi líng bǎo ， yě shì fēn děng jí ， zhè wàn hún tǎ yǔ bǎi líng zhōng xiāng bǐ , míng xiǎn hǎo le yī chóu bù zhǐ 。
林轩大喜，再看了天蚁上人的介绍以后，更是兴卝奋以极，即便同为灵宝，也是分等级，这万魂塔与百灵钟相比,明显好了一筹不止。
After leaving the cave, Lin Xuan arrived at a weak point in the space.
jū rán kě yǐ jiāng líng chóng cuī shú ， xiǎng xiǎng yù luó fēng lín xuān yòu zěn me néng bù gāo xìng ne ？
居然可以将灵虫催熟，想想玉罗蜂林轩又怎么能不高兴呢？
He replicated the process, using Illusory Heavenly Fire first, then the Snow Fox King’s spear to tear open a crack. With his body enveloped in green light, he flew out.
ér qiě cǐ bǎo duì xuè huǒ yǐ lái shuō ， jiǎn zhí shì jué pèi ， yào zhī dào xuè huǒ yǐ dān gè de shí lì bù zhí yī tí , zhǔ yào shì kào shù liàng qǔ shèng dì 。
而且此宝对血火蚁来说，简直是绝配，要知道血火蚁单个的实力不值一提,主要是靠数量取胜地。
Everything went smoothly.
jǐ shí wàn ， shèn zhì shàng bǎi wàn zhǐ dōu hái hǎo shuō 。
几十万，甚至上百万只都还好说。
Lin Xuan sighed with relief; this trip was much easier than adventuring at Dan Yue Sect.
kě yí dàn fán zhí dào shàng qiān wàn ， shèn zhì shàng yì ， zì jǐ yòu gāi jiāng xī men zhuāng dào nǎ lǐ ， ér zhè wàn hún tǎ xiǎn rán shì jiě jué le zhè ge wèn tí 。
可一旦繁殖到上千万，甚至上亿，自己又该将牺们装到哪里，而这万魂塔显然是解决了这个问题。
However, soon, he sensed something and frowned. A bloody stench permeated the air.
lín xuān xǐ dòng yán sè ， wān yāo jiāng nà kàn shàng qù bìng bù zěn me qǐ yǎn de wàn hún tǎ qǔ dào le shǒu zhōng 。
林轩喜动颜色，弯腰将那看上去并不怎么起眼的万魂塔取到了手中。
Lin Xuan’s expression darkened as green light enveloped him, and he shot towards the village like a dazzling ball of light.
fēn qī céng ， kàn shàng qù shèn zhì yǒu xiē pò luò ， rú guǒ bù shuō ， shuí yòu néng xiǎng dào ， zhè jū rán shì lìng rén xiàn mù de tōng kuàng tiān líng bǎo 。
分七层，看上去甚至有些破落，如果不说，谁又能想到，这居然是令人羡慕的通卝天灵宝。
In an instant, he arrived, but what he saw made his face pale.
méi yǒu xiū kuàng xí tōng bǎo jué ， zàn shí bù néng yòng ， dàn bìng bù fáng ài lín xuān jiāng shén shí zhù kuàng rù qí zhōng 。
没有修卝习通宝诀，暂时不能用，但并不妨碍林轩将神识注卝入其中。
Three cultivators were floating in the sky; from their aura, they seemed to be practitioners of the Demon Sect. Their realms were nothing special—basically at the Foundation Establishment stage.
suí hòu yī dú kuàng lì kōng jiān yìng rù yǎn lián 。
随后一独卝立空间映入眼帘。
However, these three were indiscriminately killing on the island. The village was a ghost town with countless wounds. Ordinary people had no way to resist cultivators.
qīng shān lǜ shuǐ ， rán ér yuǎn bǐ zì jǐ xiǎng xiàng de gèng wéi guǎng kuò ， suí hòu lín xuān zhǎo dào le sān zhǐ yǐ hòu de xíng zōng 。
青山绿水，然而远比自己想象的更为广阔，随后林轩找到了三只蚁后的行踪。
The three laughed heartily until Lin Xuan’s arrival abruptly silenced them.
zhǐ yǒu sān zhǐ ， shǎo le yì diǎn ， bù guò méi yǒu guān xì ， jiù rú tóng zhí wù ， zhǐ yào yǒu yī lì zhǒng zi ， zǒng yǒu bàn fǎ ràng xī de shù liàng chí xù zēng kuàng jiā xià qù 。
只有三只，少了一点，不过没有关系，就如同植物，只要有一粒种子，总有办法让牺的数量持续增卝加下去。
With his divine awareness sweeping over them, they couldn’t discern how deep Lin Xuan's cultivation was.
lín xuān jiāng bǎi hún tǎ yě shōu rù huái lǐ 。
林轩将百魂塔也收入怀里。
Their expressions turned uneasy.
zhì yú qí tā bǎo wù ， dāng rán yě bú huì là xià de 。
至于其他宝物，当然也不会落下的。
Even if they were fearful, it wouldn't help; they still approached cautiously and bowed: "Junior disciples pay respects to Senior. We do not know why you have come here. What is your purpose? If there are any instructions, we three brothers will certainly make our best efforts and never disappoint the senior."
zhè yī cì ， zhǐ néng shuō zì jǐ yùn qì shí zài shì tài hǎo le 。
这一次，只能说自己运气实在是太好了。
