rú guǒ shì píng cháng ？ shí ， lín gǎn zì rán bú huì chī bǎo le méi shì ， lái zhè piàn shuǐ chéng ， rán ér rú jīn xíng shì què shì bié yǒu chā yì ， jīng guò shù yuè de nǔ lì ， xiāo hào le qí zhēn yì bǎo wú shù ， lín xuān zhōng yú jiāng shī mó cóng yǔn luò de biān yuán jiù huí lái le 。
如果是平常？时，林秆自然不会吃饱了没事，来这片水城，然而如今形势却是别有差异，经过数月的努力，消耗了奇珍异宝无数，林轩终于将尸魔从陨落的边缘救回来了。
If it were under normal circumstances, Lin Xuan naturally wouldn't have come to this water city after eating his fill. However, the current situation was quite different from what he had anticipated. After months of effort and the consumption of countless precious treasures, Lin Xuan finally managed to save the Corpse Demon from the brink of extinction.
bù guò jù lí guài fù yuán qì ， yī jiù yáo bù kě jí ， rú jīn shí jiān jǐn pò ， lín xuān kě méi yǒu shí jiān yǔ xī màn màn xiāo mó ， nà xiǎng yào shī mó huī fù rú chū ， jiù xū yào zhǎo yī yīn mài zhī suǒ ， xī shōu zhì yīn zhì hán zhī lì ， yǐ zuò zī bǔ ， màn màn jiāng běn shēn de xiū wèi huī fù 。
不过距离怪复元气，依旧遥不可及，如今时间紧迫，林轩可没有时间与牺慢慢消磨，那想要尸魔恢复如初，就需要找一阴脉之所，吸收至阴至寒之力，以作滋补，慢慢将本身的修为恢复。
However, the recovery of its vital energy was still a distant goal. With time pressing on, Lin Xuan didn't have the luxury to dawdle with the Corpse Demon. To restore it completely would require finding a Yin Pulse place where it could absorb the most Yin and cold energies for nourishment.
zhè yàng sù dù suī rán huì shāo màn yī xiē ， dàn què shěng shí shěng lì 。
这样速度虽然会稍慢一些，但却省时省力。
Although this process would be slower than ideal, it would save both time and effort.
rán ér zhè lǐ bìng fēi yōu míng dì fǔ ， yī shí piàn kè ， nǎ lǐ qù zhǎo shàng jiā de yīn mài zhī suǒ 。
然而这里并非幽冥地府，一时片刻，哪里去找上佳的阴脉之所。
But this wasn’t the Netherworld; it wouldn't be easy to find an excellent Yin Pulse place in such a short period. Due to the two great realms' war millions of years ago, the Spirit Realm harbored intense hatred for阴司鬼物 (Yin Realm Ghosts). Because of this, even though ghost dao cultivators weren’t as feared as they once were, finding a suitable place was still challenging.
yào zhī dào yīn wèi shù bǎi wàn nián qián liǎng jiè dà zhàn de yuán gù ， líng jiè duì yú yīn sī guǐ wù ， kě shì tòng hèn dào le jí chù ， suǒ wèi chéng mén shī huǒ ， yāng jí chí yú ， yīn wèi zhè ge yuán gù ， lián guǐ dào xiū shì ， zài líng jiè suī tán bù shàng guò jiē lǎo shǔ ， dàn yě shì jí bù shòu dài jiàn de 。
要知道因为数百万年前两界大战的缘故，灵界对于阴司鬼物，可是痛恨到了极处，所谓城门失火，殃及池鱼，因为这个缘故，连鬼道修士，在灵界虽谈不上过街老鼠，但也是极不受待见的。
Lin Xuan’s body was enveloped in a faint greenish aura that shielded him from the pale white fog. He entered the island without hesitation, and the grayish stones echoed around him. The entire island had a dull gray color, though not completely barren, the plants here were bizarre to say the least.
yǒu bù shǎo yīn mài ， shèn zhì bèi xiū shì gù yì gěi pò huài diào le ， yī shí piàn kè ， lín xuān hái zhēn zhǎo bú dào hé shì zhī suǒ 。
有不少阴脉，甚至被修士故意给破坏掉了，一时片刻，林轩还真找不到合适之所。
There were numerous zombies on the island, which was unsurprising given the pale white fog, formed from accumulated Corpse Qi.
wú nài zhī yú ， lín xuān jiù dǎ qǐ le zhè gǔ zhàn chǎng de zhǔ yì ， suī rán zhè ér bú shì yīn mài zhī suǒ ， dàn zhì yīn zhì hán de huán jìng ， yě miǎn qiǎng mǎn zú xū qiú ， tóng yàng néng ràng shī mó de yuán qì màn màn huī fù ， dà bù liǎo duō huā yī xiē shí jiān bà le 。
无奈之余，林轩就打起了这古战场的主意，虽然这儿不是阴脉之所，但至阴至寒的环境，也勉强满足需求，同样能让尸魔的元气慢慢恢复，大不了多花一些时间罢了。
Lin Xuan released his divine sense and confirmed his judgment before swiftly entering the island. The stones crunched underfoot as he entered a place where everything appeared grayish. Though not completely barren, the plants here were peculiar.
zài méi yǒu bié de xuǎn zé de qíng kuàng xià ， lín xuān yě zhǐ hǎo jiāng jiù 。
在没有别的选择的情况下，林轩也只好将就。
The number of zombies was significant on this island, which made sense given that the pale white fog was formed from Corpse Qi.
sú huà shuō ， shèng míng zhī xià wú xū shì ， jìn rù zhè piàn shuǐ yù zhī hòu ， guǒ rán yīn fēng xí tǐ ， lián tài yáng dōu mò míng qí miào de àn dàn le xià qù 。
俗话说，盛名之下无虚士，进入这片水域之后，果然阴风袭体，连太阳都莫名其妙的黯淡了下去。
Lin Xuan released his divine sense again to confirm his judgment before flying westward towards two small hills. These hills weren't more than a few dozen feet tall and looked more like small mounds. Between these hills lay a narrow valley where the Corpse Qi was most concentrated.
fāng yuán bǎi lǐ ， liǎo wú shēng qì ， dǎo shì bù shí yǒu yóu hún yě guǐ cóng shēn biān piāo guò ， jī běn shàng dōu shì yī xiē dī jiē de yīn líng bà le ， líng zhì shàng wèi kāi qǐ 。
方圆百里，了无生气，倒是不时有游魂野鬼从身边飘过，基本上都是一些低阶的阴灵罢了，灵智尚未开启。
However, contrary to expectations, there were no zombies around this valley. Instead, a grayish禁制 (restraining force) surrounded its entrance.
yuán běn yù jiàn huó zhe de shēng wù ， yóu yú guǐ wù běn néng ， zhè xiē jiā huo huì bù gù yī qiè de sī yǎo gōng jī ， kě fán shì zǒng yǒu lì wài 。
原本遇见活着的生物，由于鬼物本能，这些家伙会不顾一切的撕咬攻击，可凡事总有例外。
Lin Xuan rubbed his forehead in thought; this situation was indeed unexpected. As they say, seeing is believing, not hearing. According to ancient maps and texts, the ancient battlefield was considered extremely dangerous for mortals but merely a chicken's rib for cultivators—what use were the extreme Yin and cold conditions if there weren't even any Yin Pores?
lín xuān yǔ xī men de shí lì ， wěi shǐ yǒu tài guò jīng rén de chā jù ， shuō tiān chā dì yuǎn yě méi yǒu fēn háo chū qí ， suǒ yǐ ， lín xuān shēn shàng de wēi yā ， suī hán ér bù lù ， dàn nà xiē yóu hún yě guǐ ， yě gǎn jué wèi jù yǐ jí ， dāng rán bú huì chōng shàng lái gōng jī 。 xī men jì rán bù lái dǎ rǎo zì jǐ ， lín xuān dāng rán yě bú huì duō shì ， shuāng fāng dǎo shì hù bù yǐng xiǎng ， xiāng ān wú shì 。
林轩与牺们的实力，委始有太过惊人的差距，说天差地远也没有分毫出奇，所以，林轩身上的威压，虽含而不露，但那些游魂野鬼，也感觉畏惧以极，当然不会冲上来攻击。牺们既然不来打扰自己，林轩当然也不会多事，双方倒是互不影响，相安无事。
Yet, on this unremarkable island, Lin Xuan found a Corpse Well.
lín xuān fàng chū shén shí ， kāi shǐ zài zhè piàn shuǐ yù lái huí sǎo shì ， xiǎng yào xún zhǎo yī yīn qì zuì wèi nóng zhòng zhī suǒ 。
林轩放出神识，开始在这片水域来回扫视，想要寻找一阴气最为浓重之所。
A Corpse Well, as its name suggests, is something few cultivators have heard of. It was rarer than a Yin Pulse but had similar effects.
piàn kè hòu ， tā tái qǐ tóu ， liǎn shàng què shǎn guò yī sì jīng shì xǐ de yà sè 。
片刻后，他抬起头，脸上却闪过一似惊似喜的讶色。
However, ordinary ghosts and spirits couldn’t benefit from it. Only zombies would be drawn to it for cultivation, offering significant benefits to those who trained there.
“ zhè hái zhēn shì yì wài shōu huò 。”
“这还真是意外收获。”
Due to the stringent conditions required for formation, many cultivators didn't know its uses. Even if they encountered one, they merely saw it as a place with particularly dense Corpse Qi.
lín xuān nán nán zì yǔ de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， suí hòu hún shēn qīng máng yì qǐ ， jiù xiàng zhe zuǒ cè de fāng xiàng jí sù fēi lüè le guò qù 。
林轩喃喃自语的声音传入耳朵，随后浑身青芒一起，就像着左侧的方向急速飞掠了过去。
Lin Xuan finally understood why no cultivator had discovered this place; not only was it remote and hard to find, but even if a cultivator passed by occasionally, they wouldn’t recognize its true value.
yǐ tā de shí lì ， dùn sù zì rán shì qí kuài wú bǐ ， hěn kuài jiù lái dào le mù dì dì 。
以他的实力，遁速自然是奇快无比，很快就来到了目的地。
But there was already an owner in the valley. That didn't matter; he could just take over. With a sneer, Lin Xuan released his divine sense. The restraining force before him wasn't complex and could be easily broken with a wave of his hand.
zhè shì yī zuò pǔ tōng de dǎo yǔ ， fāng yuán bù guò shù shí lǐ de miàn jī ， xiǎo qiǎo yǐ jí ， biǎo miàn shàng kàn ， méi yǒu rèn hé chū qí ， wéi yǒu zài dǎo yǔ de sì zhōu ， lǒng zhào zhe báo báo de wù qì 。
这是一座普通的岛屿，方圆不过数十里的面积，小巧以极，表面上看，没有任何出奇，唯有在岛屿的四周，笼罩着薄薄的雾气。
With a flick of his sleeves, a sword energy shot out.
nà wù zuò cǎn bái sè ， yǒu yī gǔ zhōng rén yù ǒu de è chòu sàn fà ér chū 。
那雾做惨白色，有一股中人欲呕的恶臭散发而出。
Boom!
bù guò duì lín xuān zì rán shì sī háo yǐng xiǎng yě wú ， tā de shēn tǐ ， bèi yī céng dàn qīng sè de líng máng bāo guǒ ， nà xiē cǎn bái sè de wù qì ， quán dōu qīng ér yì jǔ ， bèi píng bì zài wài miàn le 。
不过对林轩自然是丝毫影响也无，他的身体，被一层淡青色的灵芒包裹，那些惨白色的雾气，全都轻而易举，被屏蔽在外面了。
Just as expected, the grayish禁制 (restraining force) was swept away effortlessly by the thunderous blast. Lin Xuan smiled satisfactorily but frowned after a short while.
lín xuān shēn xíng yī shǎn ， háo bù yóu yù de jìn rù le dǎo yǔ lǐ miàn 。
林轩身形一闪，毫不犹豫的进入了岛屿里面。
Turning around, he narrowed his eyes and looked at something, his expression strange. He seemed to have underestimated something.
guài shí chóu xiǎng ， zhěng gè dǎo yǔ ， chéng xiàn chū yī zhǒng huī méng méng de yán sè ， suī fēi cùn cǎo bù shēng ， dàn shēng zhǎng zài zhè lǐ de zhí wù ， jiē gǔ guài dào jí chù 。
怪石畴响，整个岛屿，呈现出一种灰蒙蒙的颜色，虽非寸草不生，但生长在这里的植物，皆古怪到极处。
But it didn't matter; even a King of Leviathan had fought him before. If the other's strength was slightly higher than expected, that would be just a minor inconvenience.
dǎo yǔ shàng ， jiāng shī shù liàng jí duō ， zhè méi yǒu shén me qí guài zhī chù ， nà cǎn bái sè de bó wù ， yuán běn jiù shì shī qì níng jù ér chéng de 。
岛屿上，僵尸数量极多，这没有什么奇怪之处，那惨白色的薄雾，原本就是尸气凝聚而成的。
A long roar echoed from the sky, followed by intense light flashes as a pale golden flying rainbow streaked towards them at incredible speed.
lín xuān jiāng shén shí fàng chū ， què dìng zì jǐ de pàn duàn méi cuò ， suí hòu shēn xíng yī shǎn ， jiù xiàng dǎo yǔ de xī cè fēi qù le 。
林轩将神识放出，确定自己的判断没错，随后身形一闪，就像岛屿的西侧飞去了。
The flying rainbow approached and revealed an old man in wide robes with a high hat. He looked to be around seventy years old but had a ruddy complexion; he didn’t look like a zombie or any other ghostly entity.
hěn kuài ， liǎng zuò xiǎo shān yìng rù yǎn lián 。
很快，两座小山映入眼帘。
Lin Xuan’s expression was one of surprise despite his vast experience.
shuō shì shān ， qí shí gāo bù guò shù shí zhàng yǒu yú ， shuō chéng xiǎo qiū líng gèng jiā hé shì 。
说是山，其实高不过数十丈有余，说成小丘陵更加合适。
But appearances can be deceiving. Who would think that such a beautiful woman as Mo Er could be a ghost, let alone someone like the Arhats King, who exuded unparalleled beauty? Many things couldn’t be judged by their surface appearance.
ér zài liǎng zuò shān fēng zhī jiān ， yǒu yī xiǎo xiǎo de xiá gǔ ， nà lǐ de shī qì zuì wèi nóng zhòng 。
而在两座山峰之间，有一小小的峡谷，那里的尸气最为浓重。
The old man looked healthy and was undoubtedly a zombie, having reached the late stage of Separation and Union. He was just one step away from becoming a Cave Profound Realm cultivator.
rán ér chū hū yì liào de ， zài cǐ xiá gǔ zhōu wéi ， fǎn ér méi yǒu jiāng shī 。
然而出乎意料的，在此峡谷周围，反而没有僵尸。
His gaze swept over Lin Xuan, revealing a look of shock on his face.
yīn wèi zài qí rù kǒu ， yǒu yī céng huī méng méng de jìn zhì 。
因为在其入口，有一层灰蒙蒙的禁制。
He had rushed back to his cave after feeling that the禁制 (restraining force) before it had been broken, only to find an ordinary cultivator causing trouble. This was strange.
lín xuān yǐ shǒu fǔ é ， liǎn shàng lù chū jǐ fēn chén yín zhī sè ， cǐ qíng kuàng hái zhēn shì yǒu xiē chū hū yù liào ， guài bù dé gǔ rén shuō yǎn jiàn wèi shí ， ěr tīng wèi xū ， gēn jù hǎi tú yǔ diǎn jí shàng de miáo shù ， zhè gǔ zhàn chǎng suī zài fán rén de yǎn lǐ ， wēi xiǎn dào jí chù ， dàn zài xiū shì yǎn zhōng ， bù guò shì jī lèi bān de cún zài bà le 。
林轩以手抚额，脸上露出几分沉吟之色，此情况还真是有些出乎预料，怪不得古人说眼见为实，耳听为虚，根据海图与典籍上的描述，这古战场虽在凡人的眼里，危险到极处，但在修士眼中，不过是鸡肋般的存在罢了。
The Corpse Well could only benefit zombies and some special ghost dao cultivators. For others, holding it would be useless.
wú tā ， zhì yīn zhì hán yǒu shén me yòng chǔ ， zhè lǐ lián yīn mài yě méi yǒu a ！
无他，至阴至寒有什么用处，这里连阴脉也没有啊！
This person’s spiritual energy attributes were peculiar but clearly not from a ghost or zombie; why would he come here? Was he just looking for something to do?
kě zài zhè bù qǐ yǎn de xiǎo dǎo shàng ， lín xuān què fā xiàn le yī kǒu shī jǐng 。
可在这不起眼的小岛上，林轩却发现了一口尸井。
Despite his shock, the old man didn’t intend to let this intruder take over his cave. His gaze swept over Lin Xuan as his expression turned grim.
shī jǐng ， gù míng sī yì ， hěn duō xiū xiān zhě yě bù céng tīng shuō ， zhè shì bǐ yīn mài hái yào xī yǒu de dōng xī ， dàn yǔ qí zuò yòng yòu yǒu jǐ fēn xiāng sì 。
尸井，顾名思义，很多修仙者也不曾听说，这是比阴脉还要稀有的东西，但与其作用又有几分相似。
He was also an advanced Separation and Union cultivator, though not yet at the peak stage. He couldn't be underestimated; he would have to deal with him here or risk exposing his Corpse Well.
bù guò pǔ tōng de yīn hún guǐ wù ， yù jiàn shī jǐng yě méi yǒu yòng chǔ 。
不过普通的阴魂鬼物，遇见尸井也没有用处。
"Your cave? Hmph, you merely arrived before me and claimed this Corpse Well for yourself. In the Spirit Realm, resources belong to those who can claim them. What makes you think it's yours?" Lin Xuan sneered.
zhǐ yǒu jiāng shī yī lèi de guài wù ， cái duì qí qū zhī ruò wù ， zài nà lǐ xiū liàn ， duì xī men lái shuō ， yǒu shì bàn gōng bèi de xiào guǒ 。
只有僵尸一类的怪物，才对其趋之若鹜，在那里修炼，对牺们来说，有事半功倍的效果。
"You..."
yīn wèi xíng chéng tiáo jiàn tài kē kè ， hěn duō xiū xiān zhě dōu bù zhī dào qí miào yòng de ， jí shǐ yù jiàn le ， yě jǐn jǐn shì jiāng xī dàng zuò shì shī qì tè bié nóng mì zhī suǒ 。
因为形成条件太苛刻，很多修仙者都不知道其妙用的，即使遇见了，也仅仅是将牺当作是尸气特别浓密之所。
The old man turned red with anger at Lin Xuan’s words. "Boy, you're asking for death."
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， lín xuān zhōng yú míng bái wèi shén me xiū shì bù céng fā xiàn cǐ chù ， qiě bù shuō zhè lǐ de huāng pì ， jiù suàn ǒu ěr yǒu xiū shì lù guò ， yě shì yī tóu wù shuǐ ， bìng bù rèn shí qí miào yòng 。
脑海中念头转过，林轩终于明白为什么修士不曾发现此处，且不说这里的荒僻，就算偶尔有修士路过，也是一头雾水，并不认识其妙用。
Before he could finish speaking, he raised his head and let out a roar like that of an animal. A torrent of Corpse Qi erupted from his body, enveloping him in a cloud-like fog. The fog churned violently before dissipating to reveal a green-faced monster.
zhǐ shì jì yǒu jìn zhì cún zài yú cǐ shān gǔ “ xiǎn rán zhè lǐ yǐ jīng yǒu zhǔ rén le 。
只是既有禁制存在于此山谷“显然这里已经有主人了。
Upon closer inspection, the features of this monster bore some resemblance to the old man but were at least three feet taller. His skin was withered, yet it emitted a dark black glow that seemed unbreakable.
bù guò nà yòu rú hé ， nán bù chéng hái néng shì dòng xuán qī jí bié de lǎo jiā huǒ ， xiū xiān jiè shì ruò ròu qiáng shí de ， jiù suàn yǐ yǒu rén xiān zhàn lǐng cǐ chù ， zì jǐ jiāng qí qiǎng guò lái jiù xíng le 。
不过那又如何，难不成还能是洞玄期级别的老家伙，修仙界是弱肉强食的，就算已有人先占领此处，自己将其抢过来就行了。
A Corpse Demon in its late Separation and Union stage indeed.
liǎn shàng lù chū jǐ fēn lěng xiào PS zhī sè ， lín gān jiāng shén shí fàng chū ， yǎn qián de jìn zhì bìng bù suàn fán fù ， shèn xì kě yǐ zhè yàng shuō ， lián yuán pó qī de cún zài dōu fáng bú zhù ， nà duì zì jǐ ér yán ， jiù gèng jiā de xíng tóng xū shè ， huī huī shǒu jiù néng gòu pò chú 。
脸上露出几分冷笑PS之色，林肝将神识放出，眼前的禁制并不算繁复，甚系可以这样说，连元婆期的存在都防不住，那对自己而言，就更加的形同虚设，挥挥手就能够破除。
This guy acted decisively; he really did attack without any hesitation.
xiù páo yī fú ， suí shǒu yī dào jiàn qì pī cì ér chū 。
袖袍一拂，随手一道剑气劈刺而出。
With his left hand, he flicked out a thread of black energy that streaked towards Lin Xuan’s head with incredible speed. His right hand wasn't idle either; he snapped his fingers, and a large amount of Corpse Qi separated from his body to form a pale white whirlwind before him.
hōng ！
轰！

果然有如林轩的推刻，随着一雷鸣般的爆裂声传入耳朵，那灰蒙蒙的禁制丝毫还手之力也无，已被他用秋风扫落叶之势横扫一空。
A child burdened with a great mission was born into a cultivator’s family, and he grew up in the cultivation world until reaching the peak of the Dao… (Continued)
If it were under normal circumstances, Lin Xuan naturally wouldn't have come to this water city after eating his fill. However, the current situation was quite different from what he had anticipated.
