kǒu xiū xiān bǎi yì ， yuán yuǎn liú cháng ， zhèn fǎ zhī mù ， běn lái jiù jí yǒu yòng wài 。
口修仙百艺，源远流长，阵法之木，本来就极有用外。
Training in a hundred arts, the history of cultivation is long and rich. Array formations are inherently powerful tools.
yī qiáng dà de zhèn fǎ ， zhǐ yào tián chōng de jīng shí zú gòu ， yóu jǐ míng xiǎo xiū shì cāo kòng ， jí biàn duì shàng gāo jiē xiū xiān zhě ， zhàn ér shèng zhī yě méi yǒu shén me chū qí zhī chù 。
一强大的阵法，只要填充的晶石足够，由几名小修士操控，即便对上高阶修仙者，战而胜之也没有什么出奇之处。
A strong array formation, with sufficient crystal stones to power it, can be controlled by several minor cultivators, making it no surprise if they defeat high-ranking cultivators.
ér zhèn fǎ tōng cháng fēn wéi liǎng zhǒng 。
而阵法通常分为两种。
Array formations generally fall into two categories: one that is extremely complex and stationary, typically used for protecting the main headquarters of major sects. The other consists of simpler, portable array disks or flags that can be deployed to fend off enemies when needed.
yī zhǒng jí wéi fán fù ， qiě bù néng yí dòng ， yì bān dōu bèi gè dà zōng mén jiā zú ， yòng yú duì zǒng duò de fáng hù 。
一种极为繁复，且不能移动，一般都被各大宗门家族，用于对总舵的防护。
For now, the Four Friends of Yanshan were clearly using the latter type. A good set of array flags was not something ordinary cultivators could afford; in fact, it often surpassed top-grade ancient treasures.
hái yǒu yī zhǒng ， zé shì yǐ jī qiǎo zhī shù ， zhì chéng jiǎn dān ， qiě róng yì xié dài de zhèn pán zhèn qí ， yù jiàn dí rén de shí hòu ， jiù kě yǐ ná chū lái yù dí 。
还有一种，则是以机巧之术，制成简单，且容易携带的阵盘阵旗，遇见敌人的时候，就可以拿出来御敌。
Although the Four Friends were financially strained, they had plenty of valuable items on them. Lin Xuan’s knowledge was broad, and he had studied array formations. He did not immediately step forward but remained hidden to observe the situation first.
dì yī zhǒng zàn qiě bù tí ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， yān shān sì yǒu suǒ shǐ yòng de ， xiǎn rán jiù shì dì èr zhǒng 。
第一种暂且不提，此时此刻，燕山四友所使用的，显然就是第二种。
The array formation indeed seemed impressive, yet the gap in their cultivation levels with their opponent was too great. As time passed, they could no longer hold out; the Heavenly Heart Toad breaking through the formation was inevitable.
ér yī tào hǎo de zhèn qí ， jià zhí kě bú shì pǔ tōng xiū xiān zhě néng gòu chéng shòu de ， shèn zhì yuǎn yuǎn shèng guò dǐng jiē gǔ bǎo 。
而一套好的阵旗，价值可不是普通修仙者能够承受的，甚至远远胜过顶阶古宝。
"Kwa!"
yān shān sì yǒu suī rán náng zhōng xiū sè ， dàn nà shì zhǐ tā men méi yǒu duō shǎo xiàn chéng de jīng shí le ， shēn shàng bǎo wù hái zhēn bù cuò ， lín xuān suǒ xué guǎng bó ， duì yú zhèn fǎ zhī shù ， yě yǒu yán jiū ， cǐ shí tā bìng méi yǒu máng zhe chū lái ， ér shì yǐn nì zài cè ， xiān kàn yī kàn qíng kuàng zài shuō 。
燕山四友虽然囊中羞涩，但那是指他们没有多少现成的晶石了，身上宝物还真不错，林轩所学广博，对于阵法之术，也有研究，此时他并没有忙着出来，而是隐匿在侧，先看一看情况再说。
Its voice resembled a frog’s, though much louder and more powerful than a dragon's roar, indicating its impatience. The creature opened its blood-filled maw, emitting a visible sound wave that crashed into the dense fog before it.
píng xīn ér yán ， nà zhèn fǎ què shí bù cuò ， bù guò sì rén yǔ duì shǒu de jìng jiè xiāng chà shí zài tài yuǎn le ， suí zhe shí jiān de tuī yí ， tā men yǐ jiàn jiàn dǐ dǎng bú zhù ， nà tiān xīn chán pò zhèn ér chū sī háo xuán niàn yě wú ， bù guò shì shí jiān de wèn tí le 。
平心而言，那阵法确实不错，不过四人与对手的境界相差实在太远了，随着时间的推移，他们已渐渐抵挡不住，那天心蟾破阵而出丝毫悬念也无，不过是时间的问题了。
The space around it visibly distorted as the impact of this attack was immense. Seeing this, the Four Friends grimaced in fear but did not dare to turn and flee. If they left, the array would be broken, leaving them with no chance at survival; death was their only fate.
“ gū ！”
“呱！”
Thus, despite knowing they couldn’t hold out, the Four Friends gritted their teeth and endured. Yellow庭宗 drew a deep breath, biting his tongue and spitting out a mixture of essence blood and primordial energy from his mouth.
qí jiào shēng yě yǒu rú há ma ， bù guò yào dà dé duō ， qí shēng xióng zhuàng bǐ qǐ jiāo lóng de sī hǒu yě bù xùn sè ， xiǎn rán cǐ yāo shòu yǐ jīng yǒu xiē bù nài fán le 。
其叫声也有如蛤蟆，不过要大得多，其声雄壮比起蛟龙的嘶吼也不逊色，显然此妖兽已经有些不耐烦了。
His face was pale, but he paid no heed to it. After leaving his mouth, the blood instantly exploded into a cloud before being absorbed by the array flag in his hand.
xī zhāng kāi xuè pén dà kǒu ， cóng zuǐ bā lǐ pēn chū yī dào ròu yǎn kě jiàn de shēng bō ， xiàng zhe shēn qián de nóng wù ， fēng kuáng de hōng là xià qù le 。
牺张开血盆大口，从嘴巴里喷出一道肉眼可见的声波，向着身前的浓雾，疯狂的轰落下去了。
The array flag unfurled with the wind, and the inscribed runes on its surface lit up. The other three acted similarly, focusing their primordial energy to bolster the formation. No one cared about the consequences; falling through levels or severe injuries were better than death here.
suǒ guò zhī chù ， kōng jiān dōu fā shēng le qīng wēi de niǔ qū ， zú kě jiàn zhè yī jī de wēi lì 。
所过之处，空间都发生了轻微的扭曲，足可见这一击的威力。
As long as they lived, there was hope. Once dead, all their ambitions and worldly attachments would be nothing but dust. They understood this, so they risked everything to trap that terrifying beast.
yān shān sì yǒu jiàn le cǐ mù ， bù yóu de àn àn jiào kǔ ， biǎo qíng yí gè gè ” jiē bù yóu zì zhǔ de kuáng biàn qǐ lái le 。
燕山四友见了此幕，不由得暗暗叫苦，表情一个个”皆不由自主的狂变起来了。
Yet, deep down, many questions lingered: why did a weak Heavenly Heart Toad appear so large? Its realm had reached the Separation stage, yet its spirit intelligence hadn’t awakened; was it an ancient beast? No, there was no significant difference from ordinary beasts.
xīn zhōng wèi jù yǐ jí ， rán ér cǐ kè ， tā men què bù gǎn suí suí biàn biàn de zhuǎn shēn lí qù 。
心中畏惧以极，然而此刻，他们却不敢随随便便的转身离去。
Despite these doubts, they were grateful that the toad’s spirit intelligence hadn’t awakened. With such a mindless creature, they could handle it much better than their peers of similar rank. This was beyond doubt.
yīn wèi tā men yī zǒu ， zhèn fǎ kěn dìng huì bèi pò ， ér zhèn fǎ yí dàn pò chú ， tā men gèng méi yǒu sī háo xìng lǐ ， mò luò jiāng shì wéi yī de jié jú 。
因为他们一走，阵法肯定会被破，而阵法一旦破除，他们更没有丝毫幸理，陌落将是唯一的结局。
United in purpose, the Four Friends’ combined power significantly boosted the array formation's effectiveness. The light flickered as the fog grew denser, blocking the toad’s sound waves and forming lightning that coalesced into a dragon, lunging at the Heavenly Heart Toad.
suǒ yǐ míng zhī dào dǐ dǎng bú zhù ” sì rén hái bù dé bù yǎo yá kǔ chēng zhe ， nà huáng tíng zōng xī le 。 qì ， jiāng shé jiān yǎo pò ， yī kǒu jīng xuè hùn zhe běn mìng yuán qì ， cóng zuǐ bā lǐ pēn le chū qù 。
所以明知道抵挡不住”四人还不得不咬牙苦撑着，那黄庭宗吸了。气，将舌尖咬破，一口精血混着本命元气，从嘴巴里喷了出去。
The large frog panicked, struggling to defend itself. This turned the tide in their favor, allowing the Four Friends to regain some ground.
tā de liǎn sè cāng bái wú bǐ ， rán ér què gēn běn guǎn bù liǎo zhè xiē 。
他的脸色苍白无比，然而却根本管不了这些。
Overjoyed, they seized this opportunity, each summoning their treasures: a zither, chess pieces, a book, and a painting.
nà xuè lí zuǐ yǐ hòu ， lì kè bào chéng yī tuán xuè wù ， rán hòu rú zhǎng jīng xī shuǐ yì bān ” bèi shǒu zhōng de zhèn qí xī shōu 。
那血离嘴以后，立刻爆成一团血雾，然后如长鲸吸水一般”被手中的阵旗吸收。
Lin Xuan, hidden in the shadows, couldn’t help but chuckle; these people’s treasures were indeed refined and elegant. He wondered about their power.
nà zhèn qí yíng fēng yī zhǎn ， lòu kè zài biǎo miàn de fú wén dùn shí liàng le qǐ lái 。
那阵旗迎风一展，镂刻在表面的符文顿时亮了起来。
Originally, Lin Xuan had planned to intervene. Seeing this scene, he decided to wait a bit longer.
qí yú sān rén de dòng zuò yě chà bu duō ， zhè shí hòu tā men wéi yī néng zuò de jiù shì diào dòng běn mìng yuán qì ， zhì yú zhè yàng zuò de hòu guǒ ， yǐ méi yǒu rén gù jí 。
其余三人的动作也差不多，这时候他们唯一能做的就是调动本命元气，至于这样做的后果，已没有人顾及。
With his spiritual sense, he could perceive everything around him clearly. The Four Friends simultaneously activated their treasures. The closest was the Purple Orchid Fairy, extending her delicate hands. Though she couldn’t speak, her graceful fingers played a beautiful melody.
jìng jiè diào luò yě hǎo ， yuán qì dà shāng yě bà ， zǒng bǐ mò luò zài cǐ chù ， qiáng le bù zhī fán jǐ 。
境界掉落也好，元气大伤也罢，总比陌落在此处，强了不知凡几。
Golden notes shot from her fingertips, transforming into sword energy that swept towards the trapped Heavenly Heart Toad.
zhǐ yào huó zhe ” jiù yǒu xī wàng ， yí dàn mò luò ， gōng míng lì lù ， fán chén zhí niàn ， suǒ yǒu de yī qiè ， dōu jiāng huà wèi chén tǔ 。
只要活着”就有希望，一旦陌落，功名利禄，凡尘执念，所有的一切，都将化为尘土。
"Wow..."
zhè yī qiè ， tā men xīn lǐ yǒu shù ， suǒ yǐ zhè shí hòu ， shì bù gù hòu guǒ ， yě yào jiāng nà kě pà de yāo shòu kùn zhù 。
这一切，他们心里有数，所以这时候，是不顾后果，也要将那可怕的妖兽困住。
Lin Xuan was stunned, his eyes widening as he focused on the scene before him. "Sound Wave Technique."
zhǐ shì nèi xīn shēn chù ， yǒu tài duō tài duō de yí huò ， bú shì shuō ” tiān xīn chán de shí lì hěn ruò ， zěn me huì chū xiàn zhè me dà yī gè de jiā huo 。
只是内心深处，有太多太多的疑惑，不是说”天心蟾的实力很弱，怎么会出现这么大一个的家伙。
He confirmed it; there was no mistake. Although different from Qinxin’s technique, they shared a similar origin.
xī de jìng jiè yǐ jīng dá dào lí hé ， wèi hé líng zhì què méi yǒu kāi qǐ chéng gōng ” nán dào shì gǔ shòu ， bú duì ， zhè dōng xī ， méi yǒu yǔ gǔ shòu yǒu hěn dà de bù tóng 。
牺的境界已经达到离合，为何灵智却没有开启成功”难道是古兽，不对，这东西，没有与古兽有很大的不同。
This realization made Lin Xuan excited. Could this Purple Orchid Fairy know Qinxin?
dāng rán ， yí huò guī yí huò ， tā men xīn zhōng ， hái shì pǒ wèi qìng xìng de ， xìng hǎo duì fāng líng zhì méi yǒu kāi qǐ ， fǒu zé tā men jí biàn yǒu zhèn fǎ xiàng zhù ， kǒng pà yě zǎo mò là le 。
当然，疑惑归疑惑，他们心中，还是颇为庆幸的，幸好对方灵智没有开启，否则他们即便有阵法相助，恐怕也早陌落了。
Lin Xuan didn’t deny that among the women he cared about, Yueer held his heart most deeply, but he also often thought of Qinxin and Yuanyuan.
zhè méi yǒu zhì shāng de yě shòu ， bù lùn cóng nǎ yí gè fāng miàn shuō ， dōu bǐ tóng jiē de yāo zú xiū shì hǎo duì fù ， zhè yì diǎn ， jué wú kě yí zhī chù 。
这没有智商的野兽，不论从哪一个方面说，都比同阶的妖族修士好对付，这一点，绝无可疑之处。
At Wuding River, Qinxin had ascended to the Spirit Realm by chance. This was a great blessing for her, but it separated him from his wife. After arriving in the Spirit Realm, Lin Xuan had wanted to inquire about Qinxin’s whereabouts.
xiōng dì tóng xīn ， qí lì duàn jīn ， yān shān sì yǒu zhè yǐ fǎ lì ， nà zhèn fǎ de wēi lì dǒu rán jiān jū rán bù kě sī yì de bào zēng le bèi xǔ 。
兄弟同心，其利断金，燕山四友这以法力，那阵法的威力陡然间居然不可思议的暴增了倍许。
However, unlike the mortal realm, the Spirit Realm consisted of numerous small dimensions. His location in the East Sea was still relatively low-level, making it difficult to search.
guāng yùn dà qǐ ， nà wù biàn dé yuè fā de nóng mì ， bù jǐn jiāng duì fāng de shēng bō dǎng zhù ， hái yǒu yī dào dào shǎn diàn fú xiàn ér chū ， jù hé chéng yī tiáo jiāo lóng ， xiàng zhe nà tiān xīn chán wáng zhāng yá wǔ zhǎo 。
光晕大起，那雾变得越发的浓密，不仅将对方的声波挡住，还有一道道闪电浮现而出，聚合成一条蛟龙，向着那天心蟾王张牙舞爪。
Thus, while he missed them deeply, he buried these feelings in his heart, knowing that worrying would only add to his烦恼. Instead, he focused on cultivation, believing that if fate brought them together, they would meet again someday—perhaps a thousand years from now.
lài há ma dà jīng shī sè ， pí yú yìng fù ， cǐ xiāo bǐ zhǎng zhī xià ， jū rán bèi nà yān shān sì yǒu wǎn huí bù shǎo tuí shì le 。
癞蛤蟆大惊失色，疲于应付，此消彼长之下，居然被那燕山四友挽回不少颓势了。
Unexpectedly, the opportunity arose here; could this woman who used Sound Wave Technique be acquainted with Qinxin? !~!
