nán dào nà cǐ gǔ shà ． zhēn shì wèi zhěng sè xīng hǎi lái de ？
难道那此古厦．真是为整色星海来的？
Could those ancient buildings really be here for the Blue Star Sea?
lín xuān xīn zhōng jǐng tì zhī yì dà qǐ ， rán ér biǎo miàn shàng ， què fēn háo yì sè bù lù ， yǐ tā de chéng fǔ ， zì rán bú huì ràng rén kàn chū zì jǐ xīn zhōng yì yàng lái de 。
林轩心中警惕之意大起，然而表面上，却分毫异色不露，以他的城府，自然不会让人看出自己心中异样来的。
Lin Xuan's vigilance grew as he pondered this. However, on the surface, there was no hint of anything unusual. With his deep-seated composure, it would be impossible for anyone to notice any anomaly in him.
yào zhī dào , lán sè xīng hǎi , kě shì zì jǐ zuì dà de mì mì , chú le yuè ér , biàn shì lián yú yú yǔ qín xīn dōu bù xiǎo de , qiáng liè de wēi jī gǎn zài lín xuān xīn zhōng chéng xíng le ， bù guǎn rú hé , zhè cì gǔ mó lái tiān yún shí èr zhōu de mù dì , zì jǐ yí dìng yào nòng qīng chǔ 。
要知道,蓝色星海,可是自己最大的秘密,除了月儿,便是连娱娱与琴心都不晓得,强烈的危机感在林轩心中成型了，不管如何,这次古魔来天云十二州的目的,自己一定要弄清楚。
After all, the blue star sea was his greatest secret—only Mo'er knew about it, and even YuYu and Qinxin were unaware. A strong sense of crisis formed within Lin Xuan's heart. Regardless of anything else, he must find out why this ancient demon came to the Heavenly Cloud Twelve Provinces.
dāng rán , zhè yě shì wǎng zuì huài de dǎ suàn kǎo lǜ ， yě yǒu kě néng shì zì jǐ xiǎng tài duō , dàn fáng rén zhī xīn bù kě wú , zǒng zhī xiū xiān jiè wēi jī biàn bù , duō yì diǎn xiǎo xīn zǒng shì zhèng què de 。
当然,这也是往最坏的打算考虑，也有可能是自己想太多,但防人之心不可无,总之修仙界危机遍布,多一点小心总是正确的。
Of course, he considered the worst-case scenario. It was possible that his concerns might be unfounded, but one could never be too careful in a world filled with danger.
bù guò cǐ shì jí bù dé ， guān yú gǔ mó de mù dì , yǐ hòu kě yǐ màn màn chá qīng chǔ , dāng wù zhī jí ， lín xuān hái yǒu yī jiàn shì qíng , xū yào chǔ lǐ 。
不过此事急不得，关于古魔的目的,以后可以慢慢查清楚,当务之急，林轩还有一件事情,需要处理。
However, there was no rush on this matter. He could investigate the purpose of the ancient demons later. For now, Lin Xuan had another task to handle.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò , lín xuān huǎn huǎn de kāi kǒu ：“ mó zú dà jūn suī yǐ tuì qù , rán ér yíng zhōu dǎo yě mǎn mù chuāng yǐn , kǒng pà yǒu xǔ duō shì qíng xū yào chǔ lǐ ， mí men kě yǐ zàn qiě xià qù ， wǒ yǒu yī jiàn shì qíng , xū yào yǔ liú shī zhí shāng yì 。”
脑海中念头转过,林轩缓缓的开口：“魔族大军虽已退去,然而瀛洲岛也满目疮瘾,恐怕有许多事情需要处理，弥们可以暂且下去，我有一件事情,需要与刘师侄商议。”
With these thoughts swirling in his mind, he spoke slowly: "Although the demon army has retreated, the Island of Penglai is still in shambles. There are likely many things that need to be dealt with. You can go for now; I have something to discuss with Senior Apprentice Liu."
lín xuān zhè huà míng xiǎn shì zài zhú kè , xià miàn de nǚ xiū bù yóu de miàn miàn xiāng qù le , lín xuān míng yì shàng suī shì běn pài shī zǔ ， dàn zhè yàng yuè zǔ dài páo de fā lìng hái shì ràng tā men yǒu xiē wú suǒ shì cóng 。
林轩这话明显是在逐客,下面的女修不由得面面相觑了,林轩名义上虽是本派师祖，但这样越俎代庖的发令还是让她们有些无所适从。
Lin Xuan's words clearly indicated that they should leave. The female cultivators below exchanged glances. Although Lin Xuan was the senior patriarch of their sect, such an overreaching command left them somewhat at a loss.
“ shī shū shuō le , ràng chēng men tuì xià , dōu hái lèng zài zhè lǐ gàn má ？” liú yíng jiàn le ， máng kāi kǒu fēn fù ， tā kě bù xiǎng lín xuān fā huǒ 。
“师叔说了,让称们退下,都还愣在这里干嘛？”刘莹见了，忙开口吩咐，她可不想林轩发火。
"Senior Apprentice said we can go down. Why are you still standing here?" Liu Ying asked hurriedly to avoid any conflict with Lin Xuan.
zhòng nǚ xiū tīng le , máng yíng yíng yī shì ， suí hòu yú guàn tuì chū qù le , ruò dà de tīng táng lǐ , jiù zhǐ cì xià lín xuān yǔ liú yíng liǎng gè kǒu
众女修听了,忙盈盈一柿，随后鱼贯退出去了,偌大的厅堂里,就只刺下林轩与刘莹两个口
The female cultivators bowed gracefully and exited one by one. The grand hall was now empty except for Lin Xuan and Liu Ying.
“ shī shū , nín yǒu shén me shì qíng yào jiāo dài dì zǐ ， qǐng jǐn guǎn fēn fù 。” liú yíng gōng jìng de kāi kǒu le 。
“师叔,您有什么事情要交代弟子，请尽管吩咐。”刘莹恭敬的开口了。
"Senior Apprentice, if there is anything you need to instruct me, please do so," Liu Ying said respectfully.
xuān diǎn le diǎn tóu cǐ nǚ dào yě líng lóng bié tòu tā fēn fù qí tā dì zǐ tuì xià ， zì rán shì yǒu yǐn mì tóng liú yíng xiāng shāng de 。
轩点了点头此女倒也玲珑别透他吩咐其他弟子退下，自然是有隐秘同刘莹相商的。
Lin Xuan nodded. She was indeed perceptive; he had asked other disciples to leave because he wanted to discuss something confidentially with her.
“ guān yú jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn zhèn de lái lì , mí zhī dào duō shǎo ？”
“关于九宫须臾剑阵的来历,弥知道多少？”
"What do you know about the origin of the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword Array?"
“ jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn zhèn de lái lì ？”
“九宫须臾剑阵的来历？”
"Nine Palaces Momentary Sword Array's origin?"
liú yíng xiù méi zhòu le qǐ lái ， xīn zhōng gèng shì dà gǎn yì wài ， zuò mèng yě méi yǒu xiǎng dào , lín shī shū jū rán dǎ tīng qǐ le zhè ge , àn lǐ shuō ， duì fāng dōu yǐ jīng fēi shēng dào líng jiè qù le , yǎn jiè yīng gāi gèng kāi kuò jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn zhèn suī rán fēi tóng xiǎo kě , dàn fàng dào líng jiè ， yīng gāi yě méi yǒu shén me liǎo bù qǐ de 。
刘莹秀眉皱了起来，心中更是大感意外，做梦也没有想到,林师叔居然打听起了这个,按理说，对方都已经飞升到灵界去了,眼界应该更开阔九宫须臾剑阵虽然非同小可,但放到灵界，应该也没有什么了不起的。
Liu Ying frowned, feeling even more surprised. She never expected Lin Senior Apprentice to inquire about this. According to logic, since they had already ascended to the Spirit Realm, their horizons should be broader. The Nine Palaces Momentary Sword Array was indeed significant, but in the Spirit Realm, it wasn't something extraordinary.
shī shū zěn me huì guān xīn zhè ge ？
师叔怎么会关心这个？
Why would Senior Apprentice care?
bù jiě guī bù jiě , dàn tā hái shì lǎo shí de huí dá qǐ lái le 。
不解归不解,但她还是老实的回答起来了。
Despite her confusion, she answered truthfully.
“ jiǔ gōng xū yú guā zhèn de lái lì dì zǐ hái méi yǒu zěn me guān zhù , zhǐ shì mó hú de jì de ， cǐ zhèn fǎ sì hū bìng bú shì tiān yá hǎi gé yī chuàng lì jiù yǒu ， ér shì shù wàn nián hòu ， yóu dì shí jiǔ dài zǔ shī ， tiān lán xiān zi shè lì chū lái de 。
“九宫须臾刮阵的来历弟子还没有怎么关注,只是模糊的记得，此阵法似乎并不是天涯海阁一创立就有，而是数万年后，由第十九代祖师，天岚仙子设立出来的。
"The origin of the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword Array is not something I've paid much attention to. It seems that this array wasn't established when the Heavenly Sea Pavilion was founded; instead, it was set up by the 19th patriarch, Immortal Tianlan, a few ten thousand years later."
“ tiān lán xiān zi , mò fēi zhè wèi qián bèi jīng tōng zhèn fǎ zhī shù ？” lín xuān shén sè yī dòng de kāi kǒu le 。
“天岚仙子,莫非这位前辈精通阵法之术？”林轩神色一动的开口了。
"Immortal Tianlan? Could this senior be skilled in阵法?" Lin Xuan asked with interest.
“ dāng rán bú shì , tiān lán zǔ shī duì yú zhèn fǎ yī dào ， bìng bù shàn cháng , jù tǐ yuán yīn qiè shēn yě bù xiǎo de ， bù guò zǔ shī cí táng yīng gāi huì yǒu jì zǎi de 。” liú yíng qiàn rán de shuō 。
“当然不是,天岚祖师对于阵法一道，并不擅长,具体原因妾身也不晓得，不过祖师祠堂应该会有记载的。”刘莹歉然的说。
"No, Immortal Tianlan wasn't particularly adept at阵法. The exact reason is unknown to me, but there should be records in the patriarch hall," Liu Ying said apologetically.
“ zǔ shī cí táng bú shì cáng shū gé ？” lín xuān dà gǎn yì wài le 。
“祖师祠堂不是藏书阁？”林轩大感意外了。
"The patriarch hall isn't the library?" Lin Xuan was surprised.
“ bú shì , cáng shū gé suǒ zhēn cáng de ， nǎi shì gōng fǎ diǎn jí , yǐ jí yī xiē qí tā yì cháng zhēn guì de dōng xī , zǔ shī cí táng bù tóng ， chú le gòng fèng lì dài zǔ shī de líng wèi huà xiàng zài nà lǐ , suǒ shèng fàng de yù tóng jiǎn , lǐ miàn jì zǎi de , yě jǐn jǐn shì lì dài zǔ shī de yī xiē bǐ lù yǔ shēng píng shì jì 。
“不是,藏书阁所珍藏的，乃是功法典籍,以及一些其他异常珍贵的东西,祖师祠堂不同，除了供奉历代祖师的灵位画像在那里,所盛放的玉瞳简,里面记载的,也仅仅是历代祖师的一些笔录与生平事迹。
"No, the treasures in the library are mainly cultivation techniques and other extremely valuable items. The patriarch hall is different; it houses the spirit images of past patriarchs along with jade cylinders that record their lives and achievements," Liu Ying explained.
“ yuán lái rú cǐ 。“ lín xuān diǎn le diǎn tóu ：“ nà lín mǒu kàn kàn kě fǒu 。”
“原来如此。“林轩点了点头：“那林某看看可否。”
"Ah, I see." Lin Xuan nodded. "Then let me take a look."
“ shī shū shuō xiào le , rú guǒ shì nín de huà , nà dāng rán kě yǐ , běn mén duì nín , zěn me kě néng yǒu jìn dì 。”
“师叔说笑了,如果是您的话,那当然可以,本门对您,怎么可能有禁地。”
"Don't joke around, Senior Apprentice. If you say so, of course, there are no forbidden areas in our sect for you," Liu Ying said with a smile as she waved her hand, and a flicker of fire light appeared.
liú yíng yī biān shuō , yī biān yù shǒu yī fú ． yī dào huǒ guāng fēi lüè ér chū , hěn kuài ， jiù cóng wài miàn lái le yī wèi gōng zhuāng měi fù , zhèng shì nà míng jiào zuò xú jǐng qīng de yuán hòu xiū xiān zhě 。
刘莹一边说,一边玉手一拂．一道火光飞掠而出,很快，就从外面来了一位宫装美妇,正是那名叫做徐景清的元后修仙者。
Soon, an elegantly dressed woman named Xu Jingqing appeared, the senior cultivator.
“ cān jiàn shī fù ， cān jiàn shī zǔ 。”
“参见师傅，参见师祖。”
"Salutations to Master, Senior Patriarch."
“ jǐng qīng , dài lín shī shū qù zǔ shī cí táng , bù lùn shī shū yǒu shén me fēn fù , dōu yí dìng yào jǐn liàng mǎn zú 。”
“景清,带林师叔去祖师祠堂,不论师叔有什么吩咐,都一定要尽量满足。”
"Jingqing, take Senior Apprentice Lin to the patriarch hall. Do your best to fulfill any instructions he gives," Liu Ying said with a smile.
xú jǐng qīng de liǎn shàng tóng yàng lù chū yī sī yì wài zhī sè ， què dī méi shùn mù dì dā yìng le 。
徐景清的脸上同样露出一丝意外之色，却低眉顺目的答应了。
Xu Jingqing's face showed surprise but she obediently agreed.
suí hòu yóu cǐ nǚ yǐn lù , xiàng yíng zhōu dǎo de xī bù fēi qù le 。
随后由此女引路,像瀛洲岛的西部飞去了。
They then followed her to the western part of the Island of Penglai.
hěn kuài ． qián miàn jiù chū xiàn le yī piàn huá měi de jiàn zhù ， què yòu bù shī zhuāng yán sù mù 。
很快．前面就出现了一片华美的建筑，却又不失庄严肃穆。
Soon, they arrived at a magnificent building that exuded both elegance and solemnity.
zhè lǐ ． lín xuān dào bìng méi yǒu lái guò , bù guò xiǎng lái ， yīng gāi jiù shì tiān yá hǎi gé de zǔ shī cí táng le 。
这里．林轩倒并没有来过,不过想来，应该就是天涯海阁的祖师祠堂了。
Lin Xuan had never been here before, but it was likely the patriarch hall of the Heavenly Sea Pavilion.
“ shī zǔ , zhè biān qǐng 。”
“师祖,这边请。”
"Senior Patriarch, this way."
xú jǐng qīng dài zhe lín xuān fēi xiàng zhōng jiān yī dòng jiàn zhù , zhè shì yī zuò sān céng de gé lóu , tōng tǐ shì mù zhì jié gòu ， dāng rán , xiū jiàn xī de bú shì pǔ tōng de mù tou ， ér shì yī zhǒng tè bié de líng mù ， bù jǐn huá měi ， ér qiě bǐ qiān nián tóng jīng hái yào jiān yìng dé duō , zǔ shī cí táng de fáng yù dāng rán yě bù néng ruò 。
徐景清带着林轩飞向中间一栋建筑,这是一座三层的阁楼,通体是木制结构，当然,修建牺的不是普通的木头，而是一种特别的灵木，不仅华美，而且比千年铜精还要坚硬得多,祖师祠堂的防御当然也不能弱。
Xu Jingqing led Lin Xuan to a three-story pavilion. It was made of special spiritual wood, much harder than thousand-year-old copper. The defense of the patriarch hall naturally couldn't be weak.
lín xuān shén shí sǎo guò ． liǎn shàng lù chū mǎn yì zhī sè , jiù jiàn yī shēn cái jiāo xiǎo de shào nǚ cóng lǐ miàn pǎo chū lái le 。
林轩神识扫过．脸上露出满意之色,就见一身材娇小的少女从里面跑出来了。
Lin Xuan's divine sense swept over it, and he smiled in satisfaction as a small girl ran out from inside.
shí qī bā suì nián jì , suī bù néng shuō hěn měi lì ， dàn yī fù wá wá liǎn de mú yàng què yě kě ài yǐ jí , xiū wèi shì níng dān zhōng qī 。
十七八岁年纪,虽不能说很美丽，但一副娃娃脸的模样却也可爱以极,修为是凝丹中期。
She was about 17 or 18 years old, not particularly beautiful but adorable with her childlike face. Her cultivation level was mid-stage Condensation Core.
“ cān jiàn shī shū 。”
“参见师叔。”
"Salutations to Senior Apprentice."
cǐ nǚ kàn qīng chǔ xú jǐng qīng de miàn róng , liǎn shàng lù chū dà jīng zhī sè ， máng yíng yíng yī fú ． zhè wèi xú shī shū nǎi shì tài shàng zhǎng lǎo de ài tú , suī rán běn mén zhī zhǔ , dàn quán shì què shì jí zhòng 。
此女看清楚徐景清的面容,脸上露出大惊之色，忙盈盈一拂．这位徐师叔乃是太上长老的爱徒,虽然本门之主,但权势却是极重。
Recognizing Xu Jingqing's appearance, the girl showed great surprise and bowed gracefully. Xu Jingqing was a beloved disciple of the Supreme Elder; although she wasn't the sect leader, her power was significant.
“ shī zǔ , cǐ nǚ shì lún zhí kān shǒu zǔ shī cí táng de dì zǐ , nín yǒu shén me fēn fù , jǐn kě duì tā shuō 。” xú jǐng qīng mǎn liǎn péi xiào de duì lín xuān kāi kǒu le , suí hòu yòu zhuǎn guò tóu ， biǎo qíng guī yú yán sù ：“ chǔ shī zhí ， zhè wèi shì běn mén de lín zǔ shī , nǎi dòng xuán qī xiū xiān zhě , zhuān mén cóng líng jiè pò suì xū kōng xià lái ， chǔ lǐ mó jié de ， mí yí dìng yào hǎo shēng cì hòu ． ruò yǒu dài màn zhī chù , tài shàng zhǎng lǎo huì chóng chóng jiàng zuì de , mí kě qīng chǔ ？”
“师祖,此女是轮值看守祖师祠堂的弟子,您有什么吩咐,尽可对她说。”徐景清满脸陪笑的对林轩开口了,随后又转过头，表情归于严肃：“楚师侄，这位是本门的林祖师,乃洞玄期修仙者,专门从灵界破碎虚空下来，处理魔劫的，弥一定要好生伺候．若有怠慢之处,太上长老会重重降罪的,弥可清楚？”
"Senior Patriarch, this young lady is in charge of guarding the patriarch hall. If you have any instructions, just tell her," Xu Jingqing said with a smile to Lin Xuan and then turned serious: "Xu Senior Apprentice, this is our patriarch, Senior Immortal Lin, an Immortal of the Profound Mystery Realm who came from the Spirit Realm to deal with demonic calamities. You must treat him well; any neglect will result in severe punishment by the Supreme Elder."
líng jiè xiū xiān zhě ？
灵界修仙者？
Spirit Realm cultivators?
dòng xuán jí bié de lǎo guài wù ？
洞玄级别的老怪物？
Senior Immortals of the Profound Mystery Realm?
nà wá wá liǎn de nǚ xiū dà jīng shī sè ， yóu yú zǔ shī cí táng dì wèi tè shū , xiàng lái dōu xū yào yǒu rén kān shǒu , hé kuàng tā jǐn shì níng dān ér yǐ , xiàng zhè zhǒng jí bié de dà zhàn zhōng , duō ！ gè bù duō ， shǎo yí gè yě chà bù liǎo shén me , suǒ yǐ bìng méi yǒu duì zhèn gǔ mó ， ér shì yì zhí zài zǔ shī cí táng dài zhe 。
那娃娃脸的女修大惊失色，由于祖师祠堂地位特殊,像来都需要有人看守,何况她仅是凝丹而已,像这种级别的大战中,多！个不多，少一个也差不了什么,所以并没有对阵古魔，而是一直在祖师祠堂待着。
The girl with the childlike face was shocked. Due to the special status of the patriarch hall, someone always needed to guard it, especially since she was only at mid-stage Condensation Core. In such a significant battle, one more or less didn't matter much.
shèn zhì dōu bù xiǎo de yíng zhōu dǎo de wēi jī yǐ rán jiě chú ， cǐ shí tīng xú jǐng qīng zhè yàng shuō bù yóu de dà jīng shī sè 。
甚至都不晓得瀛洲岛的危机已然解除，此时听徐景清这样说不由得大惊失色。
She hadn't known that the crisis on Penglai Island had been resolved until now and was shocked by Xu Jingqing's words.
liǎn shàng shèn zhì dài zhe jǐ fēn huái yí ， bù guò hěn kuài jiù yǐn qù ， zhè yàng de shì qíng ， shī shū yòu zěn me kě néng kāi wán xiào ne ？
脸上甚至带着几分怀疑，不过很快就隐去，这样的事情，师叔又怎么可能开玩笑呢？
Her face showed suspicion but quickly faded; how could Senior Apprentice joke about this?
máng guì xià xiàng lín xuān kē tóu xíng lǐ ， rán ér mù guāng què qiāo qiāo zài qí liǎn shàng sǎo guò ， zhè yī kàn hái zhēn bèi tā kàn chū duān ní lái le 。
忙跪下像林轩磕头行礼，然而目光却悄悄在其脸上扫过，这一看还真被她看出端倪来了。
She knelt before Lin Xuan and bowed deeply. However, her eyes secretly scanned his face. Indeed, she recognized him.
cǐ nǚ kān shǒu zǔ shī cí táng yǐ yǒu sān nián zhī jiǔ ， ér xiū xiān zhě yóu yú quán wén zì xiū xí le wǔ xíng fǎ shù , chà bu duō dōu shì yǒu guò mù bù wàng de shén tōng 。
此女看守祖师祠堂已有三年之久，而修仙者由于全文字修习了五行法术,差不多都是有过目不忘的神通。
This girl had guarded the patriarch hall for three years, and cultivators usually have a photographic memory after studying the Five Elements Arts extensively.
lín xuān què shí jiā rù guò tiān yá hǎi gé ， zhǐ bù guò shí jiān bù jiǔ , ér qiě yǔ rú yān xiān zi yì qǐ jìn rù xiū luó zhī mén hòu jiù bù zhī suǒ zōng ， dàn zài zǔ shī cí táng zhōng ， yě yǒu tā de huà xiàng líng wèi gòng fèng 。
林轩确实加入过天涯海阁，只不过时间不久,而且与如嫣仙子一起进入修罗之门后就不知所踪，但在祖师祠堂中，也有他的画像灵位供奉。
Lin Xuan did join the Heavenly Sea Pavilion but not for long; he disappeared with Fairy Yuxian after entering the Netherworld Gate. However, his image was still in the patriarch hall as part of its offerings.
cǐ nǚ zì rán jiàn guò , gāng gāng shì méi yǒu liú yì ， rú jīn suī shì tōu tōu dǎ liàng yī yǎn , dàn jì rán shàng xīn , zì rán bù nán jiāng qí rèn chū lái bǐ
此女自然见过,刚刚是没有留意，如今虽是偷偷打量一眼,但既然上心,自然不难将其认出来匕
She recognized him now, even if she hadn't paid much attention before. With her keen eyes, she easily identified him.
hái zhēn shì shī zǔ , shào nǚ de biǎo qíng bù yóu de gèng gōng jìng le 。
还真是师祖,少女的表情不由得更恭敬了。
It really is Senior Patriarch Lin. The girl's expression became more respectful.
suí hòu xú jǐng nòng yòu duì nà shào nǚ jiāo dài jǐ jù hòu , jiù chū yán xiàng lín xuān gào cí le , tā hái yǒu xǔ duō shì qíng xū yào chǔ lǐ , ér qiě zì jǐ zǔ shī cí táng bìng bù shú , liú zài zhè lǐ yě méi yǒu shén me yòng chǔ 。
随后徐景弄又对那少女交代几句后,就出言像林轩告辞了,她还有许多事情需要处理,而且自己祖师祠堂并不熟,留在这里也没有什么用处。
Xu Jingqing then gave some instructions to the young lady and bid farewell to Lin Xuan. She had many other tasks to handle and wasn't familiar with the patriarch hall anyway, so staying here was useless.
bǐ ： yuè liàng méng zhǔ yòu dǎ shǎng le yī wàn qǐ diǎn bì , xiè xiè yuè liàng méng zhǔ , huàn yǔ huì hǎo hǎo nǔ lì de 。

Could those ancient buildings really be here for the Blue Star Sea?
Lin Xuan's vigilance grew as he pondered this. However, on the surface, there was no hint of anything unusual. With his deep-seated composure, it would be impossible for anyone to notice any anomaly in him.
After all, the blue star sea was his greatest secret—only Mo'er knew about it, and even YuYu and Qinxin were unaware. A strong sense of crisis formed within Lin Xuan's heart. Regardless of anything else, he must find out why this ancient demon came to the Heavenly Cloud Twelve Provinces.
Of course, he considered the worst-case scenario. It was possible that his concerns might be unfounded, but one could never be too careful in a world filled with danger.
However, there was no rush on this matter. He could investigate the purpose of the ancient demons later. For now, Lin Xuan had another task to handle.
With these thoughts swirling in his mind, he spoke slowly: "Although the demon army has retreated, the Island of Penglai is still in shambles. There are likely many things that need to be dealt with. You can go for now; I have something to discuss with Senior Apprentice Liu."
Lin Xuan's words clearly indicated that they should leave. The female cultivators below exchanged glances. Although Lin Xuan was the senior patriarch of their sect, such an overreaching command left them somewhat at a loss.
"Senior Apprentice said we can go down. Why are you still standing here?" Liu Ying asked hurriedly to avoid any conflict with Lin Xuan.
"Yes!"
The female cultivators bowed gracefully and exited one by one. The grand hall was now empty except for Lin Xuan and Liu Ying.
"Senior Apprentice, if there is anything you need to instruct me, please do so," Liu Ying said respectfully.
Lin Xuan nodded. She was indeed perceptive; he had asked other disciples to leave because he wanted to discuss something confidentially with her.
"What do you know about the origin of the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword Array?"
"Nine Palaces Momentary Sword Array's origin?"
Liu Ying frowned, feeling even more surprised. She never expected Lin Senior Apprentice to inquire about this. According to logic, since they had already ascended to the Spirit Realm, their horizons should be broader. The Nine Palaces Momentary Sword Array was indeed significant, but in the Spirit Realm, it wasn't something extraordinary.
Why would Senior Apprentice care?
Despite her confusion, she answered truthfully.
"The origin of the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword Array is not something I've paid much attention to. It seems that this array wasn't established when the Heavenly Sea Pavilion was founded; instead, it was set up by the 19th patriarch, Immortal Tianlan, a few ten thousand years later."

"Ah, I see." Lin Xuan nodded. "Then let me take a look."
"Don't joke around, Senior Apprentice. If you say so, of course, there are no forbidden areas in our sect for you," Liu Ying said with a smile as she waved her hand, and a flicker of fire light appeared.
Soon, an elegantly dressed woman named Xu Jingqing appeared, the senior cultivator.
"Salutations to Master, Senior Patriarch."
"Jingqing, take Senior Apprentice Lin to the patriarch hall. Do your best to fulfill any instructions he gives," Liu Ying said with a smile.
"First,"
Xu Jingqing's face showed surprise but she obediently agreed.
They then followed her to the western part of the Island of Penglai.
Soon, they arrived at a magnificent building that exuded both elegance and solemnity.
Lin Xuan had never been here before, but it was likely the patriarch hall of the Heavenly Sea Pavilion.
"Senior Patriarch, this way."
Xu Jingqing led Lin Xuan to a three-story pavilion. It was made of special spiritual wood, much harder than thousand-year-old copper. The defense of the patriarch hall naturally couldn't be weak.
Lin Xuan's divine sense swept over it, and he smiled in satisfaction as a small girl ran out from inside.
She was about 17 or 18 years old, not particularly beautiful but adorable with her childlike face. Her cultivation level was mid-stage Condensation Core.
"Salutations to Senior Apprentice."
Recognizing Xu Jingqing's appearance, the girl showed great surprise and bowed gracefully. Xu Jingqing was a beloved disciple of the Supreme Elder; although she wasn't the sect leader, her power was significant.
"Senior Patriarch, this young lady is in charge of guarding the patriarch hall. If you have any instructions, just tell her," Xu Jingqing said with a smile to Lin Xuan and then turned serious: "Xu Senior Apprentice, this is our patriarch, Senior Immortal Lin, an Immortal of the Profound Mystery Realm who came from the Spirit Realm to deal with demonic calamities. You must treat him well; any neglect will result in severe punishment by the Supreme Elder."
Spirit Realm cultivators?
Senior Immortals of the Profound Mystery Realm?
The girl with the childlike face was shocked. Due to the special status of the patriarch hall, someone always needed to guard it, especially since she was only at mid-stage Condensation Core. In such a significant battle, one more or less didn't matter much.
She hadn't known that the crisis on Penglai Island had been resolved until now and was shocked by Xu Jingqing's words.
Her face showed suspicion but quickly faded; how could Senior Apprentice joke about this?
She knelt before Lin Xuan and bowed deeply. However, her eyes secretly scanned his face. Indeed, she recognized him.
This girl had guarded the patriarch hall for three years, and cultivators usually have a photographic memory after studying the Five Elements Arts extensively.
Lin Xuan did join the Heavenly Sea Pavilion but not for long; he disappeared with Fairy Yuxian after entering the Netherworld Gate. However, his image was still in the patriarch hall as part of its offerings.
She recognized him now, even if she hadn't paid much attention before. With her keen eyes, she easily identified him.
It really is Senior Patriarch Lin. The girl's expression became more respectful.
Xu Jingqing then gave some instructions to the young lady and bid farewell to Lin Xuan. She had many other tasks to handle and wasn't familiar with the patriarch hall anyway, so staying here was useless.
