第两千零四十六章千万古魔

Chapter 2046: Ten Thousand Years of Ancient Demons

hěn kuài ， tài yáng là xià le shān pō 。

很快，太阳落下了山坡。

Soon, the sun set behind the hill.

lín xuān mù guāng sǎo guò ， hěn duō xiū xiān zhě dōu lù chū le pí juàn zhī sè 。

林轩目光扫过，很多修仙者都露出了疲倦之色。

Lin Xuan swept his gaze across the scene; many cultivators showed signs of fatigue. After all, a day-long battle was no joke. Unlike in the Spirit Realm, where they could recover their essence energy by meditating and taking medicinal pills, there were no spirit wines to replenish them here. Moreover, due to the thick demon aura, meditation wasn't yielding much either.

bì jìng yī zhěng tiān de chōng shā bú shì kāi wán xiào de 。

毕竟一整天的冲杀不是开玩笑的。

Pills for recovery were just words; most cultivators couldn’t afford such elixirs. With meditation not providing much help, they could only rely on absorbing essence energy from crystal stones. Thus, after a day of combat, many cultivators were extremely tired.

ér zhè lǐ yǔ líng jiè bù tóng ， xiū shì men chú le kào fú yào dǎ zuò ， kě méi yǒu líng jiǔ hē ， yǐ biàn huī fù fǎ lì de 。

而这里与灵界不同，修士们除了靠服药打坐，可没有灵酒喝，以便恢复法力的。

"Pass my decree: Rest temporarily."

ér yóu yú mó qì tài nóng ， dǎ zuò de xiào guǒ yě jiù bù zěn me lǐ xiǎng le 。

而由于魔气太浓，打坐的效果也就不怎么理想了。

Seeing the exhaustion in his subordinates, Lin Xuan felt it was time to halt their advance. He was still considerate towards them.

hé kuàng fú yào ， zhǐ shì yī jù huà ér yǐ ， zài xiū xiān jiè ， shēn jiā fēng hòu de xiū xiān zhě bì jìng shì shǎo shù ， dà bù fèn xiū shì ， nǎ yǒu shén me bǔ chōng fǎ lì de líng dān kě yǐ suí biàn tūn fú 。

何况服药，只是一句话而已，在修仙界，身家丰厚的修仙者毕竟是少数，大部分修士，哪有什么补充法力的灵丹可以随便吞服。

He found an open area, clearing out all demons within a hundred miles. The rest could be handled by Lu Ying'er and her companions, who would arrange everything meticulously.

dǎ zuò yòu bù gěi lì ， wéi yī néng gòu yǐ zhàng de ， jiù shì xī shōu jīng shí zhōng de líng qì 。

打坐又不给力，唯一能够倚仗的，就是吸收晶石中的灵气。

Surrounding the area with temporary array formations and having cultivators patrol ensured no gaps were left. Everyone understood that leaving any openings was like inviting trouble; they couldn’t allow ancient demons to find an opportunity.

gù ér jīng guò yī tiān de dòu fǎ ， hěn duō xiū shì dōu shì pí juàn yǐ jí 。

故而经过一天的斗法，很多修士都是疲倦以极。

Actually, these concerns were unnecessary. Lin Xuan was a Profound Knowledge Realm cultivator, his divine sense far surpassing ordinary ones. While he might not notice something from afar, within five to eight thousand miles, nothing could deceive him.

“ chuán wǒ fǎ yù ， zàn qiě xiū xī 。”

“传我法谕，暂且休息。”

Ancient demons attempting a sneak attack would be futile.

jiāng zhòng xiū de pí juàn kàn zhuó yǎn lǐ ， lín xuān yě jué de bù yí jì xù tuī jìn xià qù ， tā hái shì hěn tǐ xù xià shǔ dì 。

将众修的疲倦看着眼里，林轩也觉得不宜继续推进下去，他还是很体恤下属地。

But Lin Xuan didn’t say this; instead, he watched the girls bustling about. He wanted them to rely on themselves and avoid developing a dependency. After handling matters here, he planned to return to the Spirit Realm. This was also a form of training for him.

yú shì zhǎo le yī kōng kuàng zhī suǒ ， fāng yuán bǎi lǐ de mó zú dōu bèi qīng kōng diào le 。

于是找了一空旷之所，方圆百里的魔族都被清空掉了。

Watching their actions with cold eyes, he found them satisfactory, especially Lu Ying'er. She was bold yet meticulous, though not perfect in her work, she always left room for contingencies—qualities Lin Xuan greatly admired. He hoped she could enter the Bonding Stage and eventually ascend to the Spirit Realm one day.

xià miàn de shì wù jiù bù yòng lín xuān qù fán nǎo le ， lù yíng ér tā men zì rán huì ān pái dé tuǒ tuǒ tiē tiē de 。

下面的事务就不用林轩去烦恼了，陆盈儿她们自然会安排得妥妥帖帖的。

Of course, this was just his wish; he couldn’t do much to help. Cultivation was about self-reliance, and what he could offer were mere suggestions. Ultimately, their strength depended on them.

zài zhōu wéi bù xià lín shí de zhèn fǎ jìn zhì ， hái yǒu xiū shì jǐng jiè xún luó ， zǒng zhī yī jù huà ， jué bù néng liú xià rèn hé kòng xì ， dà jiā dōu xiǎo de ， cāng yíng bù dīng wú fèng de dàn de dào lǐ ， jué bù néng ràng gǔ mó yǒu jī kě chéng dì 。

在周围布下临时的阵法禁制，还有修士警戒巡逻，总之一句话，绝不能留下任何空隙，大家都晓得，苍蝇不叮无缝的蛋的道理，绝不能让古魔有机可乘地。

The night passed uneventfully. The next morning, as soon as the sun rose, Lin Xuan led a million cultivators deeper into Tianzhou.

qí shí zhè xiē dān xīn shì duō yú ， lín xuān kě shì dòng xuán qī ， shén shí zhī qiáng ， yuǎn shèng yì bān de xiū xiān zhě ， tài yuǎn le bù gǎn shuō ， fāng yuán wǔ dào bā qiān lǐ de yī jǔ yī dòng ， xiū xiǎng jiāng tā mán guò 。

其实这些担心是多余，林轩可是洞玄期，神识之强，远胜一般的修仙者，太远了不敢说，方圆五到八千里的一举一动，休想将他瞒过。

After a night’s rest, most cultivators’ essence energy had recovered significantly compared to the previous evening. For two hours, things went smoothly.

gǔ mó ruò xiǎng tōu xí ， nà shì mén ér yě méi yǒu dì 。

古魔若想偷袭，那是门儿也没有地。

However, at noon, when they broke through a massive illusory array, thunderous explosions echoed in their ears. Lin Xuan’s brows furrowed deeply as he scanned the scene.

bù guò zhè xiē huà lín xuān méi yǒu shuō ， ér shì kàn zhe jǐ gè yā tou máng lù ， bì jìng rén yào kào zì jǐ ， bù néng ràng tā men yǎng chéng yī lài de xīn lǐ ， cǐ jiān shì le yǐ hòu ， zì jǐ kě shì yào huí líng jiè qù 。

不过这些话林轩没有说，而是看着几个丫头忙碌，毕竟人要靠自己，不能让她们养成依赖的心理，此间事了以后，自己可是要回灵界去。

"Good heavens, what is that?"

zhè yě shì yī zhǒng duàn liàn bú shì 。

这也是一种锻炼不是。

"Could it be ancient demons? Why so many?"

lěng yǎn páng guān ， jǐ nǚ de biǎo xiàn ， ràng tā hěn mǎn yì ， tè bié shì lù yíng ér ， dǎn dà xīn xì ， zuò shì qíng suī tán bù shàng dī shuǐ bù lòu ， dàn dōu liú yǒu hòu shǒu ， zhè yì diǎn ， ràng lín xuān xīn shǎng yǐ jí 。

冷眼旁观，几女的表现，让他很满意，特别是陆盈儿，胆大心细，做事情虽谈不上滴水不漏，但都留有后手，这一点，让林轩欣赏以极。

"We are surrounded."

dàn yuàn tā néng jìn rù lí hé qī ， shèn zhì yǒu zhāo yī rì fēi shēng dào líng jiè qù 。

但愿她能进入离合期，甚至有朝一日飞升到灵界去。

Whispers and gasps filled the air. Just an incense stick ago, they had unknowingly fallen into a complex illusory array.

dāng rán ， zhè zhǐ shì lín xuān de qī dài ， jù tǐ rú hé ， tā jiù bāng bù shàng máng le ， xiū xiān xiū xiān ， zì jǐ néng gěi hòu bèi de ， yě zhǐ shì yī xiē bāng zhù tí diǎn ， zuì hòu jiū jìng néng yǒu zěn yàng de shí lì ， guān jiàn hái zài tā men zì jǐ 。

当然，这只是林轩的期待，具体如何，他就帮不上忙了，修仙修仙，自己能给后辈的，也只是一些帮助提点，最后究竟能有怎样的实力，关键还在她们自己。

The range of this array was vast; nearly a million cultivators and demon tribes were ensnared within. Since Lin Xuan hadn’t activated his Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eye beforehand, it wasn't surprising he didn’t notice anything amiss.

jié guǒ yī yè wú shì 。

结果一夜无事。

Though the illusionary array was terrifying, it couldn’t truly contain so many cultivators; soon, it was broken. Lin Xuan began to wonder what the purpose of this array was. It seemed they were buying time.

dì èr tiān ， tài yáng gāng gāng shēng qǐ ， lín xuān jiù dài lǐng bǎi wàn xiū shì jì xù xiàng tiān zhōu de zòng héng shēn zhī chù shā qù 。

第二天，太阳刚刚升起，林轩就带领百万修士继续像天州的纵横深之处杀去。

The sky turned dark as thick clouds surrounded them. A million cultivators weren't few, but compared to the vast army of ancient demons approaching from all sides, their numbers seemed insignificant.

jīng guò yī yè de xiū zhěng huī fù ， zhòng xiū xiān zhě de fǎ lì ， jí shǐ méi yǒu wán quán huī fù ， dàn yǔ zuó rì bàng wǎn xiāng bǐ ， yě hǎo le bù zhī fán jǐ 。

经过一夜的休整恢复，众修仙者的法力，即使没有完全恢复，但与昨日傍晚相比，也好了不知凡几。

Grim demon energy permeated everywhere; ancient demons appeared terrifying and roared continuously. The enemy’s massive force had gathered here.

qián miàn liǎng gè shí chén hái suàn shùn lì 。

前面两个时辰还算顺利。

Though it was hard to estimate, a million was certainly within range.

rán ér dào le zhèng wǔ ， dāng tā men gāng jiāng yī jù xíng de huàn shù jìn zhì pò chú ， què yǒu hōng lōng lóng de bào liè shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， lín xuān mù guāng sǎo guò ， méi tóu yě rěn bú zhù shēn shēn zhòu qǐ lái le 。

然而到了正午，当他们刚将一巨型的幻术禁制破除，却有轰隆隆的爆裂声传入耳朵，林轩目光扫过，眉头也忍不住深深皱起来了。

The disparity in strength was obvious; many cultivators showed signs of fear.

“ tiān nǎ ， nà shì shén me ？”

“天哪，那是什么？”

Even with a Profound Knowledge Realm cultivator like Lin Xuan present, could they really exterminate a million ancient demons? It would exhaust them.

“ nán dào shì gǔ mó ， zěn me yǒu zhè me duō ？”

“难道是古魔，怎么有这么多？”

Lin Xuan’s face revealed surprise. Were the ancient demons planning to end this battle here?

“ wǒ men bèi bāo wéi le 。”

“我们被包围了。”

No, it wasn’t that simple.

……

……

Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes. Although he couldn't pinpoint their intent, he sensed a sinister plot. The ancient demons weren’t just seeking a decisive battle; something else was at play.

jīng hū shēng cǐ qǐ bǐ fú ， qí zhōng dào chōu liáng qì de shēng yīn gèng duō 。

惊呼声此起彼伏，其中倒抽凉气的声音更多。

But with such a formidable enemy, contemplating these matters now was meaningless. Roars filled the air as over a million ancient demons charged forward.

jiù zài yī zhù xiāng de shí jiān yǐ qián ， tā men mò míng qí miào de xiàn rù le yī huàn shù jìn zhì lǐ miàn 。

就在一炷香的时间以前，他们莫名其妙的陷入了一幻术禁制里面。

"Engage!"

nà jìn zhì lǒng zhào de fàn wéi kuān guǎng yǐ jí ， jìn bǎi wàn xiū shì yǔ yāo zú quán dōu xiàn luò jìn qù ， yóu yú shì xiān méi yǒu kāi qǐ tiān fèng shén mù ， suǒ yǐ lín xuān méi yǒu fā xiàn yì yàng dào yě bù zú wéi qí 。

那禁制笼罩的范围宽广以极，近百万修士与妖族全都陷落进去，由于事先没有开启天凤神目，所以林轩没有发现异样倒也不足为奇。

Lin Xuan flicked his sleeves, releasing hundreds of sword qi that swam through the air. With their numbers tenfold greater than the cultivators, if he didn’t intervene, the outcome would be obvious.

bù guò nà huàn shù jìn zhì suī rán kě bù ， zì rán bù kě néng zhēn guān zhù nà me duō xiū xiān zhě ， hěn kuài jiù bèi pò chú diào le ， lín xuān kāi shǐ hǎo yǒu xiē hào qí ， zhè jìn zhì bìng wú shā shāng de xiào guǒ ， duì fāng zhè shì zuò shén me ， xiàn zài zé nòng qīng chǔ ， yuán lái shì zhēng qǔ shí jiān lái zhe 。

不过那幻术禁制虽然可怖，自然不可能真关住那么多修仙者，很快就被破除掉了，林轩开始好有些好奇，这禁制并无杀伤的效果，对方这是做什么，现在则弄清楚，原来是争取时间来着。

The sword lights immediately surged, each exceeding ten feet in length. They slashed and hacked at the demon clouds ahead.

cāng qióng rú mò ， dà duǒ dà duǒ de wū yún yǐ jīng jiāng tā men bāo wéi diào le 。

苍穹如墨，大朵大朵的乌云已经将他们包围掉了。

Screams filled the air as almost every sword cut down a group of ancient demons.

yì bǎi wàn xiū xiān zhě ， zhè ge shù liàng jué bù néng shuō shǎo le ， rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， yǔ nà cóng sì miàn bā fāng wéi guò lái de gǔ mó dà jūn xiāng bǐ ， zé xiǎn de yǒu diǎn bù zhí yī tí 。

一百万修仙者，这个数量绝不能说少了，然而此时此刻，与那从四面八方围过来的古魔大军相比，则显得有点不值一提。

Lin Xuan was indeed a Profound Knowledge Realm cultivator; his display of power was remarkable. However, for over a million ancient demons, such losses were trivial—mere drops in an ocean. Individual strength had its limits. Soon, those ancient demons surged forward like waves crashing against the shore.
