原本将两名离合期的古魔引入这里，是想要瓮中捉鳖，哪晓得聪明反被聪明误，这九宫须臾剑阵的第二层，威力固然是非同小可，但想要精微细致的操控，却并非元婴修士能够做到的。
Originally, introducing two Separation Period ancient demons here was intended to catch them in a pot. However, it turned out that the cleverness of the wise could backfire. The second layer of the Nine Palaces' Momentary Sword Array had formidable power, but precise control was beyond the capabilities of an Incarnation Soul cultivator.
xú jǐng qīng de liǎn shàng mǎn shì hòu huǐ zhī sè ， rán ér zhè shí hòu cái jué wù yǐ jīng wǎn le ， jǐn guǎn jìn zhì yě yǒu fǔ zhù de xiào guǒ ， dàn yuǎn yuǎn wú fǎ kùn zhù liǎng mó ， tā men xiàn zài suǒ miàn duì de jú miàn ， kě yǐ shuō shì wēi xiǎn dào jí chù ， jiù xiàng dà hǎi bō tāo zhōng de yí yè piān zhōu ， suí shí yǒu kě néng qīng fù 。
徐景清的脸上满是后悔之色，然而这时候才觉悟已经晚了，尽管禁制也有辅助的效果，但远远无法困住两魔，他们现在所面对的局面，可以说是危险到极处，就像大海波涛中的一叶扁舟，随时有可能倾覆。
Xu Jingqing's face showed regret as he realized it was too late to change his course. Although the禁制had some auxiliary effects, it could not contain the two demons. The situation they faced was extremely dangerous, like a small boat in the vast ocean, always at risk of capsizing.
míng zhī dào dǎ bù guò ， tā men què bù néng xuǎn zé tuì bì yī tú ， yīn wèi zhè lǐ yǐ shì yíng zhōu dǎo de zhōng shū ， jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn zhèn de zhèn yǎn suǒ zài zhī chù ， zhè lǐ ruò shì bèi pò huài le ， zhěng gè tiān yá hǎi gé ， jī běn jiù chǔ yú bù shè fáng de zhuàng tài le 。
明知道打不过，她们却不能选择退避一途，因为这里已是瀛洲岛的中枢，九宫须臾剑阵的阵眼所在之处，这里若是被破坏了，整个天涯海阁，基本就处于不设防的状态了。
They knew they couldn't afford to retreat because this was the core of Yizhou Island and the location of the Nine Palaces' Momentary Sword Array's center. If it were destroyed, the entire Skyward Sea Pavilion would be left defenseless.
nà hòu guǒ shì shén me ， bù yòng xiǎng jiù xiǎo de 。
那后果是什么，不用想就晓得。
What consequences could arise from that? The answer was obvious.
jiǎ ruò zhēn chū xiàn nà zhǒng zhuàng kuàng ， nà tā men jǐ gè ， jiù bǎi sǐ mò shú ， suǒ yǐ jiù suàn míng xiǎo de yǒu kě néng yǔn luò ， yě dé zài zhè lǐ kǔ kǔ zhī chēng zhe 。
假若真出现那种状况，那她们几个，就百死莫赎，所以就算明晓得有可能陨落，也得在这里苦苦支撑着。
If such a situation truly occurred, they would face no mercy. So even if they knew there was a risk of perishing, they had to hold on here.
yòu yī shēng cǎn jiào shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， zhǐ jiàn bù yuǎn chù ， mǎ shī mèi de jiān bǎng xuè liú rú zhù ， yī tiáo shǒu bì ， bèi yìng shēng shēng de zhǎn le xià lái ， suī rán dào mù qián wéi zhǐ ， hái méi yǒu rén yǔn luò ， dàn yǐ shì rén rén dài shāng le 。
又一声惨叫声传入耳朵，只见不远处，马师妹的肩膀血流如注，一条手臂，被硬生生的斩了下来，虽然到目前为止，还没有人陨落，但已是人人带伤了。
Another scream echoed as Ma Shi'mei's shoulder gushed blood, and one arm was severed. Although no one had fallen yet, everyone was injured.
“ bù xíng ， zhè yàng xià qù ， zhǐ huì bèi gè gè jī pò ， xiǎng yào wǎn huí tuí shì ， zì jǐ zhè xiē rén shì bù kě néng dì ， bì xū yǒu wài yuán cái kě 。” xú jǐng qīng rú cǐ zhè bān de xiǎng zhe ， xiù páo yī fú ， gōng shì dà zuò ， tóng shí qiāo wú shēng xī de fā chū le yī dào chuán yīn fú 。 rán ér nà shí mó liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī lěng xiào zhī sè ， dà shǒu yī bǎi ， mó qì fān yǒng chū lái ， dà bù fèn jiāng xú jǐng qīng de gōng jī dǎng zhù ， xiǎo bù fèn zé wǎng zhōng jiān yī hé ， yī zhī qī hēi rú mò de dà shǒu chū xiàn le ， suí hòu háo bù chí yí de xiàng xià lāo qù ， yī dào huǒ guāng bèi tā zhuā zài le zhǎng xīn lǐ 。
“不行，这样下去，只会被各个击破，想要挽回颓势，自己这些人是不可能地，必须有外援才可。”徐景清如此这般的想着，袖袍一拂，攻势大做，同时悄无声息的发出了一道传音符。然而那石魔脸上露出一丝冷笑之色，大手一摆，魔气翻涌出来，大部分将徐景清的攻击挡住，小部分则往中间一合，一只漆黑如墨的大手出现了，随后毫不迟疑的向下捞去，一道火光被他抓在了掌心里。
"We can't continue like this; we'll be picked off one by one. We need external aid to turn the tide," Xu Jingqing thought. He waved his sleeves and intensified his offensive while sending a sound transmission talisman silently.
shì chuán yīn fú ！
是传音符！
However, the stone demon's face showed a sneer as it waved its hands, releasing two sword qi from his sleeves.
ér qiě zhè yǐ jīng bú shì dì yī cì bèi lán jié diào le 。
而且这已经不是第一次被拦截掉了。
Boom!
“ xiǎng yào hū jiào yuán zhù ， nǐ yǐ wéi zài běn zūn miàn qián huì ràng nǐ rú yuàn me ？”
“想要呼叫援助，你以为在本尊面前会让你如愿么？”
The two demons that had been so arrogant were suddenly beheaded.
shí mó liě zuǐ yī xiào ， yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， dāng xiōng yī quán xiàng zhe xú jǐng qīng dǎ le guò qù 。
石魔咧嘴一笑，右手抬起，当胸一拳向着徐景清打了过去。
"What...?"
kàn shì píng píng wú qí ， què yǒu hēi hóng sè de mó guāng zhòu qǐ ， gōng zhuāng měi fù dà jīng shī sè ， jiāng yī tiáo chóu dài jì chū ， suí hòu nà chóu dài céng céng dié dié ， dǎng zài shēn cè ， biǎo miàn hái yǒu líng guāng shǎn shuò ， kàn shàng qù jiù yǔ yí miàn dùn pái chà bu duō 。
看似平平无奇，却有黑红色的魔光骤起，宫装美妇大惊失色，将一条绸带祭出，随后那绸带层层叠叠，挡在身侧，表面还有灵光闪烁，看上去就与一面盾牌差不多。
All the female cultivators were stunned. The ancient demons, who were at Separation Period, had fallen so easily into their clutches.
qí tā nǚ xiū yě lián máng yuán shǒu ， zhèn fǎ suǒ biàn huà chū lái de jiàn qì tóng yàng cháo zhe shí mó ji
其他女修也连忙援手，阵法所变化出来的剑气同样朝着石魔ji
"The Grandmaster's divine power is truly beyond comprehension."
shè ， rú cǐ yī lái ， tā zhè yī jī ， zuì duō yǒu píng shí sān chéng de wēi lì ， rán ér “ pēng ” de yī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà chóu dài suǒ huà de dùn pái hái shì dǐ dǎng bú zhù ， bèi jī chéng suì piàn zài bàn kōng zhōng fēi wǔ ， xú jǐng qīng yī kǒu xiān xuè pēn chū 。 rán ér cǐ nǚ yǎn zhōng què yǒu xuè hóng sè de jīng máng shǎn guò ， yī qiè dōu shì zì jǐ de cuò ， wú lùn rú hé ， zhè jiǔ jiàn gé dōu jué bù néng luò rù gǔ mó zhī shǒu ， nǎ pà zì jǐ duò rù jiǔ yōu 。
射，如此一来，他这一击，最多有平时三成的威力，然而“嘭”的一声传入耳朵，那绸带所化的盾牌还是抵挡不住，被击成碎片在半空中飞舞，徐景清一口鲜血喷出。然而此女眼中却有血红色的精芒闪过，一切都是自己的错，无论如何，这九剑阁都绝不能落入古魔之手，哪怕自己堕入九幽。
Liu Ying's admiring voice echoed as they finally regained their composure. Wait a moment—Grandmaster?
zhǐ jiàn tā shuāng shǒu tái qǐ ， rú chuān huā hú dié yì bān de wǔ dòng ， yí gè gè shén mì de fǎ yìn fú xiàn ér chū ， tā yǐ jīng zhǔn bèi shǐ yòng tiān hún chuán yīn fú ， zhè mì shù ， duì fāng jué duì lán jié bú zhù ， bù guò zì jǐ shì jué bú huì bái bái xī shēng de ， zài cǐ zhī qián ， tā hái zhǔn bèi shī zhǎn yī zhǒng mì shù ， kàn néng bù néng zhòng chuāng gǔ mó 。
只见她双手抬起，如穿花蝴蝶一般的舞动，一个个神秘的法印浮现而出，她已经准备使用天魂传音符，这秘术，对方绝对拦截不住，不过自己是绝不会白白牺牲的，在此之前，她还准备施展一种秘术，看能不能重创古魔。
After Liu Ying's brief introduction, everyone was overjoyed and immediately paid their respects.
“ jǐng qīng bù kě ！”
“景清不可！”
Other cultivators were not mentioned. Lin Xuan looked at the pale-faced girl in front of him; she was the Ma woman who had lost her arm. Although the bleeding had stopped, the pain was unbearable.
jiù zài zhè guān jiàn shí kè ， yī shēng jiāo hē chuán rù ěr duǒ ， gōng zhuāng měi fù tīng le ， yǎn lèi duó kuàng ér chū ， shī fù ， shī fù jū rán jí shí gǎn huí lái le 。
就在这关键时刻，一声娇喝传入耳朵，宫装美妇听了，眼泪夺眶而出，师傅，师傅居然及时赶回来了。
While not fatal, this injury would leave her permanently disabled unless she could find a new body to possess. But that would be even more disadvantageous due to the laws of nature.
xīn xǐ ！
欣喜！
Lin Xuan sighed and stretched out his hand, snapping it at his waist. An jade bottle flew out, from which he poured a divine pill.
tā lián máng tíng xià shǒu zhōng de dòng zuò ， suī rán yǐ jīng zhǔn bèi pīn mìng yī bó ， dàn rú guǒ kě yǐ huó ， shuí yòu huì zhǔ dòng xún sǐ ne ？
她连忙停下手中的动作，虽然已经准备拼命一搏，但如果可以活，谁又会主动寻死呢？
In the human world, such injuries couldn't be restored, but in the spirit realm, they could.
rán ér chū hū yù liào de ， guāng yǐng yī shǎn ， yī shēn chuān qīng yī de shào nián què bǐ shī fù xiān yī bù jìn lái 。
然而出乎预料的，光影一闪，一身穿青衣的少年却比师父先一步进来。
"This limb restoration pill should allow your left arm to grow back within a year or half a year."
cǐ rén de róng mào píng fán yǐ jí ， zhǐ jiàn tā yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， sōu sōu ， cóng yī xiù zhōng JI shè chū liǎng dào jiàn qì 。
此人的容貌平凡以极，只见他右手抬起，嗖嗖，从衣袖中JI射出两道剑气。
"Thank you, Grandmaster."
suí hòu bào liè shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， gāng gāng hái xiāo zhāng bá hù de liǎng mó jū rán jiē bèi qǔ xià le tóu lú 。
随后爆裂声传入耳朵，刚刚还嚣张跋扈的两魔居然皆被取下了头颅。
The Ma woman's face lit up with joy as she hurriedly bowed deeply at Lin Xuan.
“ zhè ……”
“这……”
"Enough. Get up."
zài chǎng de nǚ xiū wú bù jīng dāi le ， jiāng zì jǐ bī zhì jué jìng de gǔ mó ， jū rán zhè me róng yì jiù yǔn luò ， nà kě shì lí hé qī cún zài de 。
在场的女修无不惊呆了，将自己逼至绝境的古魔，居然这么容易就陨落，那可是离合期存在的。
...
“ shī shū de shén tōng ， zhēn shì shén guǐ mò cè 。”
“师叔的神通，真是神鬼莫测。”
Half an hour later, Lin Xuan arrived at the Water Sky Unity Hall. Liu Ying accompanied him closely, and several dozen other high-ranking cultivators were present, including Li Zhilan, who had advanced to the early Incarnation Soul stage but was still considered junior. Due to his old acquaintance with her, she was allowed to enter the Water Sky Unity Hall.
liú yíng zàn tàn de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， jǐ nǚ cái zhōng yú huí guò shén lái le ， děng děng ， shī shū ？
刘莹赞叹的声音传入耳朵，几女才终于回过神来了，等等，师叔？
"Thank you for your assistance, Grandmaster. If not for you, the crisis on Yizhou Island would have lasted longer and possibly been breached by ancient demons. Our sins would be great, even in the underworld."
bù guò zài liú yíng jiǎn yào jiè shào zhī hòu ， tā men rén rén dōu lù chū dà xǐ guò wàng zhī sè ， máng dà lǐ cān bài qǐ lái le 。
不过在刘莹简要介绍之后，她们人人都露出大喜过望之色，忙大礼参拜起来了。
"Thank you, Grandmaster."
qí tā xiū shì zàn qiě bù tí ， lín xuān kàn le yī yǎn shēn qián miàn bái rú zhǐ shào nǚ ， tā jiù shì gāng gāng nà mǎ xìng nǚ zǐ ， bèi gǔ mó yī zhāo zhǎn xià le shǒu bì ， xiān xuè suī rán yǐ jīng zhǐ zhù ， bù guò téng tòng shì kě xiǎng ér zhī de 。
其他修士暂且不提，林轩看了一眼身前面白如纸少女，她就是刚刚那马姓女子，被古魔一招斩下了手臂，鲜血虽然已经止住，不过疼痛是可想而知的。
The other Incarnation Soul cultivators bowed down gracefully. Although they were several hundred-year-old cultivators, most of them looked like young women due to their cultivation methods often having anti-aging effects. Moreover, the Skyward Sea Pavilion had always been a place for female cultivators, making it one of the top experts in anti-aging techniques.
shāng suī rán bù zhì mìng ， dàn cóng cǐ què cán fèi le ， chú fēi tā yuàn yì zhǎo yī jù ròu shēn chóng xīn duó shě ， dàn yóu yú tiān dì fǎ zé ， nà yàng huì gèng jiā dé bù cháng shī de 。
伤虽然不致命，但从此却残废了，除非她愿意找一具肉身重新夺舍，但由于天地法则，那样会更加得不偿失的。
"There's no need for such formalities. Since you call me Grandmaster, I couldn't just let you die. However, this demon disaster is strange. According to logic, the human world should be a lower plane not worth the effort of ancient demons. Even true primordial deities with先天灵宝would find it difficult to open a portal here due to the laws of nature. Why are they here?"
yuán běn zuò wéi xiū xiān zhě ， duàn zhī yě wèi bì bù kě yǐ zhòng xù ， rán ér tā nà tiáo shǒu bì yǐ jīng bèi mó qì qīn shí ， chè dǐ bù néng yòng le 。
原本作为修仙者，断肢也未必不可以重续，然而她那条手臂已经被魔气侵蚀，彻底不能用了。
Lin Xuan was genuinely surprised. Ancient demons must have their own purposes. To find out, he didn't hesitate to use his soul probing technique.
lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì ， shēn chū shǒu lái ， zài yāo jiān yī pāi ， yí gè yù píng fēi lüè chū lái ， lín xuān cóng lǐ miàn dào chū yī lì xiān dān 。
林轩叹了口气，伸出手来，在腰间一拍，一个玉瓶飞掠出来，林轩从里面倒出一粒仙丹。
However, low-level ancient demons were merely cannon fodder and couldn't understand these secrets. As for those at Separation Period, they seemed to know something but had their memories sealed, rendering the soul probing ineffective.
zài rén jiè ， zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng ， duàn zhī bù kě zhòng xù ， dàn líng jiè què kě yǐ 。
在人界，这种情况，断肢不可重续，但灵界却可以。
The only possibility was that the entity sealing their memories was far more powerful than him. This wasn't surprising; portal openings weren't ordinary demon lords' work. In other words, the memories of these Separation Period beings were likely sealed by him.
“ zhè duàn zhī zhòng xù dān nǐ fú xià yǐ hòu ， màn zé yī nián ， kuài zé bàn zǎi ， zuǒ shǒu yīng gāi kě yǐ chóng xīn zhǎng chū lái 。”
“这断肢重续丹你服下以后，慢则一年，快则半载，左手应该可以重新长出来。”
This made Lin Xuan even more surprised. True primordial deities had lived for millions of years and were as formidable as scattered immortals. What could such terrifying entities gain from occupying the human world?
“ duō xiè shī zǔ 。”
“多谢师祖。”
Since soul probing was fruitless, Lu Ying'er didn't know either. However, would there be any special intelligence at Skyward Sea Pavilion?
nà mǎ xìng shào nǚ liǎn shàng lù chū kuáng xǐ zhī sè ， lián máng chōng zhe lín xuān chóng chóng kē tóu le 。
那马姓少女脸上露出狂喜之色，连忙冲着林轩重重磕头了。
Unfortunately, Liu Ying's answer disappointed him: "I'm sorry, Grandmaster. We don't know either. The demons have been massacring cultivators and even ordinary people since they arrived here, clearly aiming to conquer this world. But their true purpose remains unknown."
“ bà le ， qǐ lái 。”
“罢了，起来。”
"Yun Feng, you're in charge of contacting other fellow practitioners; tell me any news quickly."
bàn gè shí chén yǐ hòu ， lín xuān lái dào le shuǐ tiān yī qì diàn ， liú yíng qīn zì péi bàn zài shēn biān ， chú cǐ yǐ wài ， hái yǒu shù shí míng xiū xiān zhě ， zhè xiē yě dōu shì tiān yá hǎi gé wèi gāo quán zhòng de rén wù ， lǐ zhī lán yě zài qí zhōng ， yuán běn tā suī rán jìn jiē dào le yuán yīng chū qī ， dàn zī lì shàng qiě ， shì méi yǒu zī gé lái zhè lǐ ， bù guò yóu yú shì lín xuān jiù shí de yuán gù ， suǒ yǐ yě pò lì zhǔn tā lái dào shuǐ tiān yī qì diàn le 。“ duō xiè shī shū chū shǒu xiàng zhù ， ruò bú shì nín ， yíng zhōu dǎo de wēi jī ， bù zhī dào hé shí néng gòu jiě chú ， shèn zhì yǒu kě néng bèi gǔ mó gōng pò ， nà wǒ men zhè xiē rén de zuì guò ， kě jiù dà le ， jí shǐ dào le huáng quán dì fǔ ， yě méi yǒu liǎn jiàn lì dài zǔ shī de 。”
半个时辰以后，林轩来到了水天一气殿，刘莹亲自陪伴在身边，除此以外，还有数十名修仙者，这些也都是天涯海阁位高权重的人物，李芝兰也在其中，原本她虽然进阶到了元婴初期，但资历尚且，是没有资格来这里，不过由于是林轩旧识的缘故，所以也破例准她来到水天一气殿了。“多谢师叔出手相助，若不是您，瀛洲岛的危机，不知道何时能够解除，甚至有可能被古魔攻破，那我们这些人的罪过，可就大了，即使到了黄泉地府，也没有脸见历代祖师的。”
The woman pointed out was a tall figure who stepped forward: "Grandmaster, we don't know the demons' goal, but wherever they conquer, they search extensively as if looking for something. More bizarrely, there are many ancient demons appearing in Youzhou, where numerous sects and families have been wiped out. You know that's where Bai Xuan Pavilion rose to prominence, but two hundred years ago, it moved to Yunzhou, abandoning its former headquarters. As a result, the cultivators there are few, with no Incarnation Soul cultivators left. They fell like a mountain of troops when faced with ancient demons. However, after they conquered Youzhou, more forces were sent, as if searching for something."
“ duō xiè shī zǔ 。”
“多谢师祖。”
"Youzhou?"
qí tā yuán yīng xiū shì yě yíng yíng bài xià qù le ， suī rán zhè xiē rén yě dōu shì huó le jǐ bǎi nián de xiū xiān zhě ， dàn dà bù fèn de miàn róng ， què yǔ miào líng shào nǚ chà bu duō ， nǚ xiū shì suǒ xiū liàn de gōng fǎ ， dà duō yǒu zhù yán de xiào guǒ ， gèng hé kuàng tiān yá hǎi gé lì dài dōu shì nǚ zǐ ， duì yú zhù yán shù de yán jiū ， jiù rén jiè lái shuō ， jué duì shì shǔ yī shǔ èr de 。
其他元婴修士也盈盈拜下去了，虽然这些人也都是活了几百年的修仙者，但大部分的面容，却与妙龄少女差不多，女修士所修炼的功法，大多有驻颜的效果，更何况天涯海阁历代都是女子，对于驻颜术的研究，就人界来说，绝对是数一数二的。
Lin Xuan's heart skipped a beat. The Heavenly Cloud Twelve Provinces should be considered Thirteen Provinces if one insisted on being precise, but the area was too small to be considered separate.
“ yī jiā rén hé bì shuō liǎng jiā huà ne ， nǐ men jì rán jiào wǒ yī shēng shī zǔ ， lín mǒu zěn me kě néng jiàn sǐ bù jiù ， dǎo shì zhè cì mó zāi lái de guǐ yì ， àn lǐ shuō ， rén jiè bù guò shì xià wèi jiè miàn ér yǐ ， gēn běn bù zhí dé gǔ mó fèi nà me dà de lì qì ， yào zhī dào yóu yú yǒu tiān dì fǎ zé ， jiù suàn shì zhēn mó shǐ zǔ jí bié de cún zài ， yòu shǒu chí xiān tiān líng bǎo ， xiǎng yào dǎ kāi jiè miàn tōng dào ， yě bú shì nà me róng yì ， tā men wèi hé huì lái dào zhè lǐ ？”
“一家人何必说两家话呢，你们既然叫我一声师祖，林某怎么可能见死不救，倒是这次魔灾来得诡异，按理说，人界不过是下位界面而已，根本不值得古魔费那么大的力气，要知道由于有天地法则，就算是真魔始祖级别的存在，又手持先天灵宝，想要打开界面通道，也不是那么容易，它们为何会来到这里？”
The demons looking for something in Youzhou made Lin Xuan think of the Blue Star Sea, which he had obtained from Yanzhou.
lín xuān què shí gǎn dào yǒu xiē chà yì ， gǔ mó kěn dìng yǒu zì jǐ de mù dì ， wèi le xiǎng yào xiǎo de jié guǒ ， tā kě shì háo bú kè qì de shī zhǎn chū sōu hún zhī shù 。
林轩确实感到有些诧异，古魔肯定有自己的目的，为了想要晓得结果，他可是毫不客气的施展出搜魂之术。
It seemed strange that such impoverished regions could yield the most important and mysterious treasures. The jade pendant found in Xiuyue Jie and the ruins of the underground city also hinted at a significant secret there.
rán ér dī jiē gǔ mó zhǐ bù guò shì pào huī ér yǐ ， gēn běn jiù bù kě néng liǎo jiě zhè xiē yǐn mì ， zhì yú nà xiē lí hé jí bié de cún zài ， hǎo xiàng dào xiǎo de yī xiē dōng xī ， rán ér tā men nà bù fèn jì yì ， yòu bèi fēng yìn ， zì jǐ de sōu hún shù ， méi yǒu bàn fēn xiào guǒ 。
然而低阶古魔只不过是炮灰而已，根本就不可能了解这些隐秘，至于那些离合级别的存在，好像倒晓得一些东西，然而他们那部分记忆，又被封印，自己的搜魂术，没有半分效果。
Originally, Lin Xuan hadn't taken this demon disaster seriously, but now, with the thought of potentially valuable items even true primordial deities coveted, the Blue Star Sea came to mind.
zhè zhǒng zhuàng kuàng de kě néng xìng zhǐ yǒu yí gè ， jiù shì fēng yìn tā men jì yì de cún zài yuǎn bǐ zì jǐ yào qiáng dà dé duō ， zhè yì diǎn ， lín xuān bìng bù gǎn dào xī qí 。
这种状况的可能性只有一个，就是封印他们记忆的存在远比自己要强大得多，这一点，林轩并不感到稀奇。
After all, he had obtained those treasures from Yanzhou. It was strange that such impoverished regions could yield the most important and mysterious treasures.
bì jìng jiè miàn tōng dào bú shì pǔ tōng mó zǔ kě yǐ dǎ kāi dì ， hòu miàn kěn dìng shè jí dào zhēn mó shǐ zǔ ， huàn jù huà shuō ， zhè xiē lí hé cún zài de jì yì shí yǒu ** jiù shì bèi tā gěi fēng yìn de 。
毕竟界面通道不是普通魔祖可以打开地，后面肯定涉及到真魔始祖，换句话说，这些离合存在的记忆十有**就是被他给封印的。
The more Lin Xuan thought about it, the more he felt there were significant secrets hidden in Youzhou.
zhè gèng ràng lín xuān gǎn jué jīng qí 。
这更让林轩感觉惊奇。
Initially, he hadn't paid much attention to this demon disaster, but now, with the thought of potentially valuable items even true primordial deities coveted, he felt a sense of impending danger.
Originally, introducing two Separation Period ancient demons here was intended to catch them in a pot. However, it turned out that the cleverness of the wise could backfire. The second layer of the Nine Palaces' Momentary Sword Array had formidable power, but precise control was beyond the capabilities of an Incarnation Soul cultivator.
Frustrating!
Xu Jingqing's face showed regret as he realized it was too late to change his course. Although the禁制had some auxiliary effects, it could not contain the two demons. The situation they faced was extremely dangerous, like a small boat in the vast ocean, always at risk of capsizing.
They knew they couldn't afford to retreat because this was the core of Yizhou Island and the location of the Nine Palaces' Momentary Sword Array's center. If it were destroyed, the entire Skyward Sea Pavilion would be left defenseless.
What consequences could arise from that? The answer was obvious.
If such a situation truly occurred, they would face no mercy. So even if they knew there was a risk of perishing, they had to hold on here.
"Ahh!"
Another scream echoed as Ma Shi'mei's shoulder gushed blood, and one arm was severed. Although no one had fallen yet, everyone was injured.
"We can't continue like this; we'll be picked off one by one. We need external aid to turn the tide," Xu Jingqing thought. He waved his sleeves and intensified his offensive while sending a sound transmission talisman silently.
However, the stone demon's face showed a sneer as it waved its hands, releasing two sword qi from his sleeves.
Boom!
The two demons that had been so arrogant were suddenly beheaded.
"What...?"
All the female cultivators were stunned. The ancient demons, who were at Separation Period, had fallen so easily into their clutches.
"The Grandmaster's divine power is truly beyond comprehension."
Liu Ying's admiring voice echoed as they finally regained their composure. Wait a moment—Grandmaster?
After Liu Ying's brief introduction, everyone was overjoyed and immediately paid their respects.
Other cultivators were not mentioned. Lin Xuan looked at the pale-faced girl in front of him; she was the Ma woman who had lost her arm. Although the bleeding had stopped, the pain was unbearable.
While not fatal, this injury would leave her permanently disabled unless she could find a new body to possess. But that would be even more disadvantageous due to the laws of nature.
Lin Xuan sighed and stretched out his hand, snapping it at his waist. An jade bottle flew out, from which he poured a divine pill.
In the human world, such injuries couldn't be restored, but in the spirit realm, they could.
"This limb restoration pill should allow your left arm to grow back within a year or half a year."
"Thank you, Grandmaster."
The Ma woman's face lit up with joy as she hurriedly bowed deeply at Lin Xuan.
"Enough. Get up."
...
Half an hour later, Lin Xuan arrived at the Water Sky Unity Hall. Liu Ying accompanied him closely, and several dozen other high-ranking cultivators were present, including Li Zhilan, who had advanced to the early Incarnation Soul stage but was still considered junior. Due to his old acquaintance with her, she was allowed to enter the Water Sky Unity Hall.
"Thank you for your assistance, Grandmaster. If not for you, the crisis on Yizhou Island would have lasted longer and possibly been breached by ancient demons. Our sins would be great, even in the underworld."
"Thank you, Grandmaster."
The other Incarnation Soul cultivators bowed down gracefully. Although they were several hundred-year-old cultivators, most of them looked like young women due to their cultivation methods often having anti-aging effects. Moreover, the Skyward Sea Pavilion had always been a place for female cultivators, making it one of the top experts in anti-aging techniques.
"There's no need for such formalities. Since you call me Grandmaster, I couldn't just let you die. However, this demon disaster is strange. According to logic, the human world should be a lower plane not worth the effort of ancient demons. Even true primordial deities with先天灵宝would find it difficult to open a portal here due to the laws of nature. Why are they here?"
Lin Xuan was genuinely surprised. Ancient demons must have their own purposes. To find out, he didn't hesitate to use his soul probing technique.
However, low-level ancient demons were merely cannon fodder and couldn't understand these secrets. As for those at Separation Period, they seemed to know something but had their memories sealed, rendering the soul probing ineffective.
The only possibility was that the entity sealing their memories was far more powerful than him. This wasn't surprising; portal openings weren't ordinary demon lords' work. In other words, the memories of these Separation Period beings were likely sealed by him.
This made Lin Xuan even more surprised. True primordial deities had lived for millions of years and were as formidable as scattered immortals. What could such terrifying entities gain from occupying the human world?
Since soul probing was fruitless, Lu Ying'er didn't know either. However, would there be any special intelligence at Skyward Sea Pavilion?
Unfortunately, Liu Ying's answer disappointed him: "I'm sorry, Grandmaster. We don't know either. The demons have been massacring cultivators and even ordinary people since they arrived here, clearly aiming to conquer this world. But their true purpose remains unknown."
"Yun Feng, you're in charge of contacting other fellow practitioners; tell me any news quickly."
"Yes."
The woman pointed out was a tall figure who stepped forward: "Grandmaster, we don't know the demons' goal, but wherever they conquer, they search extensively as if looking for something. More bizarrely, there are many ancient demons appearing in Youzhou, where numerous sects and families have been wiped out. You know that's where Bai Xuan Pavilion rose to prominence, but two hundred years ago, it moved to Yunzhou, abandoning its former headquarters. As a result, the cultivators there are few, with no Incarnation Soul cultivators left. They fell like a mountain of troops when faced with ancient demons. However, after they conquered Youzhou, more forces were sent, as if searching for something."
"Youzhou?"
Lin Xuan's heart skipped a beat. The Heavenly Cloud Twelve Provinces should be considered Thirteen Provinces if one insisted on being precise, but the area was too small to be considered separate.
The demons looking for something in Youzhou made Lin Xuan think of the Blue Star Sea, which he had obtained from Yanzhou.
It seemed strange that such impoverished regions could yield the most important and mysterious treasures. The jade pendant found in Xiuyue Jie and the ruins of the underground city also hinted at a significant secret there.
Originally, Lin Xuan hadn't taken this demon disaster seriously, but now, with the thought of potentially valuable items even true primordial deities coveted, the Blue Star Sea came to mind.
After all, he had obtained those treasures from Yanzhou. It was strange that such impoverished regions could yield the most important and mysterious treasures.
The more Lin Xuan thought about it, the more he felt there were significant secrets hidden in Youzhou.
Initially, he hadn't paid much attention to this demon disaster, but now, with the thought of potentially valuable items even true primordial deities coveted, he felt a sense of impending danger.
