rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， lín xuān yǐ gù bù dé ， hòu huàn bì jìng shì yǐ hòu de fán nǎo le ， dāng wù zhī jí ， shì yào xiān jiāng yǎn qián de wēi xiǎn dù guò 。
然而此时此刻，林轩已顾不得，后患毕竟是以后的烦恼了，当务之急，是要先将眼前的危险度过。
However, at this moment, Lin Xuan had no time to worry about future troubles. The pressing issue was how to deal with the immediate danger.
fǒu zé yí dàn yǔn luò ， hòu huàn shén me ， yě dōu chéng xiào huà le 。
否则一旦陨落，后患什么，也都成笑话了。
Otherwise, if he fell, all his worries would become a joke.
shì yǒu qīng zhòng huǎn jí ， lín xuān zì rán dǒng de quán héng lì bì 。
事有轻重缓急，林轩自然懂得权衡利弊。
There were priorities in matters of life and death. Lin Xuan naturally understood the importance of weighing benefits against risks.
ér tā de shā shǒu jiǎn ， jiù shì wǔ lóng xǐ 。
而他的杀手锏，就是五龙玺。
His trump card was the Five Dragon Seal.
cǐ bǎo lián léi jié dōu kě yǐ qīng yì pò chú ， jiù wēi lì yǔ zhēn xī chéng dù ， jué duì shì yuǎn zài shì líng jiàn zhī shàng de 。
此宝连雷劫都可以轻易破除，就威力与珍稀程度，绝对是远在噬灵剑之上的。
This treasure could easily shatter even a lightning strike. In terms of power and rarity, it far surpassed the Devouring Spirit Sword.
xīn zhōng rú cǐ xiǎng zhe ， lín xuān bì shàng shuāng mù ， ér bīng pò mó zǔ zì rán yě bú huì zài yī páng xián zhe ， zhǐ jiàn tā shēn xíng yī shǎn ， yǐ yǔ nà liǎng gǔ mó chéng pǐn zì xíng jiāng lín xuān bāo wéi le qǐ lái 。
心中如此想着，林轩闭上双目，而冰魄魔祖自然也不会在一旁闲着，只见她身形一闪，已与那两古魔成品字形将林轩包围了起来。
With these thoughts in mind, Lin Xuan closed his eyes. Ice Soul Demon Ancestor, not one to sit idle, flashed past and surrounded him with her two ancient demons in a triangular formation.
yǐ sān dí yī ， jué duì néng zài zuì duǎn de shí jiān nèi jiāng zhè xiǎo zi miè qù 。
以三敌一，绝对能在最短的时间内将这小子灭去。
Three against one would surely eliminate this young man quickly.
cǐ nǚ yù shǒu yǐ rán tái qǐ ， kě lín xuān bì yǎn de dòng zuò què ràng tā xīn zhōng jīng è ， zhè shì zuò shén me ？
此女玉手已然抬起，可林轩闭眼的动作却让她心中惊愕，这是做什么？
Her jade hand was already raised, but Lin Xuan's closing eyes surprised her. What was he doing?
miè shì zì jǐ ， hái shì gù nòng xuán xū ？
蔑视自己，还是故弄玄虚？
Was he mocking her or just playing games?
bīng pò mó zǔ xīn zhōng è rán bù yǐ ， ér lín xuān yǐ shī zhǎn nèi shì zhī shù ， jiāng shén shí chén rù dān tián 。
冰魄魔祖心中愕然不已，而林轩已施展内视之术，将神识沉入丹田。
Ice Soul Demon Ancestor was taken aback as Lin Xuan used Inner Vision to sink his divine consciousness into his dantian.
zhǐ jiàn zài nà qì hǎi shēn chù ， lán sè xīng hǎi huǎn huǎn xuán fú ， guāng diǎn xuán zhuǎn shǎn shuò ， měi lì yǐ jí ， ér yǔ yǐ qián xiāng bǐ ， hái yǒu yī wù xuán fú zài xīng hǎi de zhōng xīn chù ， chōng mǎn le shén mì de qì xī ， zhèng shì wǔ lóng xǐ 。
只见在那气海深处，蓝色星海缓缓悬浮，光点旋转闪烁，美丽以极，而与以前相比，还有一物悬浮在星海的中心处，充满了神秘的气息，正是五龙玺。
In the depths of his qi sea, a blue starry ocean slowly floated, with light points rotating and flickering, incredibly beautiful. Compared to before, another object hung in the center of the starry ocean, exuding an aura of mystery—the Five Dragon Seal.
zì jǐ zuì shén mì de liǎng jiàn bǎo wù còu zài le yì qǐ ， xiǎn rán tā men yǐ qián jiù yǒu guān xì ， zhè yě shì wèi shén me ， bú dào wàn bù dé yǐ ， lín xuān bù xiǎng jiāng wǔ lóng xǐ bào lù ， cǐ bǎo yǐn qǐ nà xiē lǎo guài wù de jì yú yě jiù bà le ， lín xuān gèng wéi dān xīn hài pà de shì ， yí bù xiǎo xīn ， jiāng lán sè xīng hǎi yě qiān chě chū lái 。
自己最神秘的两件宝物凑在了一起，显然它们以前就有关系，这也是为什么，不到万不得已，林轩不想将五龙玺暴露，此宝引起那些老怪物的觊觎也就罢了，林轩更为担心害怕的是，一不小心，将蓝色星海也牵扯出来。
His two most mysterious treasures were now together, clearly indicating they had a connection. That was why Lin Xuan hesitated to reveal the Five Dragon Seal unless absolutely necessary. While it might attract attention from ancient monsters, he feared more that accidentally revealing the blue starry ocean could be disastrous.
nà kě shì zì jǐ zuì dà de mì mì ， chú le yuè ér yǐ wài ， lín xuān jué bù yuàn yì dì sān rén yě liǎo jiě cǐ bǎo wù de cún zài 。
那可是自己最大的秘密，除了月儿以外，林轩绝不愿意第三人也了解此宝物的存在。
Suddenly, a silver light point appeared on the surface of the Five Dragon Seal and rapidly spread, soon making the entire treasure shine with pure silver brilliance.
bù guò xiàn zài tā méi yǒu bié de lù ， zhǐ néng dǔ yī dǔ ， bì jìng zhǐ shì zì jǐ de tuī cè ， duì fāng jiù suàn jiàn dào wǔ lóng xǐ ， yě bù yí dìng néng gòu fā xiàn lán sè xīng hǎi de cún zài 。
不过现在他没有别的路，只能赌一赌，毕竟只是自己的推测，对方就算见到五龙玺，也不一定能够发现蓝色星海的存在。
A highly refined spirit energy burst forth from within.
lín xuān xīn niàn diàn zhuǎn ， suí hòu jiāng zhù yì lì quán bù jí zhōng zài wǔ lóng xǐ de shàng miàn ， rú jīn de shuāng céng xīng hǎi ， yǐ shì yuè fā de míng xiǎn 。
林轩心念电转，随后将注意力全部集中在五龙玺的上面，如今的双层星海，已是越发的明显。
Earth, Metal, Water, Fire, Wood!
cǐ bǎo néng gòu cù jìn lán sè xīng hǎi biàn yì ， rú jīn yín sè guāng diǎn yǐ shì shù wàn yǒu yú 。
此宝能够促进蓝色星海变异，如今银色光点已是数万有余。
The nature of this energy was difficult to discern. It seemed to contain all five elements at once.
lín xuān jiāng xīn shén fù zhuó shàng qù ， suí hòu fā shēng le bù kě sī yì de biàn yì 。
林轩将心神附着上去，随后发生了不可思议的变异。
The dark sky grew even darker, so that it was pitch black and impossible to see anything. Lin Xuan, being a cultivator, could still clearly perceive his surroundings with divine vision.
suǒ yǒu de yín sè guāng diǎn ， quán bù yǒng rù jìn le cǐ bǎo lǐ ， suí hòu líng guāng dà zuò ， yuán běn wǔ lóng xǐ zhǐ shì jìng jìng de xuán fú ， kàn shàng qù jiù xiàng yī jiàn xiū mián de sǐ wù ， rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， què sà rán huó guò lái le 。
所有的银色光点，全部涌入进了此宝里，随后灵光大做，原本五龙玺只是静静的悬浮，看上去就像一件休眠的死物，然而此时此刻，却飒然活过来了。
A strange incantation suddenly appeared in his mind.
suí hòu lüè yī mó hú ， yǐ zài xīng hǎi zhōng shī qù le zōng jì ， xià yī kè ， zài lín xuān de shēn qián guǐ yì fú xiàn ér chū 。
随后略一模糊，已在星海中失去了踪迹，下一刻，在林轩的身前诡异浮现而出。
This incantation was short but sounded like nothing he had ever heard before—something not found in any ancient texts or records.
“ zhè ……”
“这……”
It left an indelible impression on his mind.
bīng pò mó zǔ dà jīng shī sè ， yuán běn yǐ wéi duì fāng shì zài gù nòng xuán xū ， méi xiǎng dào tā zhēn jì qǐ le yī jiàn bǎo wù …… děng děng ， yǒu xiē yǎn shú 。
冰魄魔祖大惊失色，原本以为对方是在故弄玄虚，没想到他真祭起了一件宝物……等等，有些眼熟。
Lin Xuan's eyes lit up. He had experienced this once before, so it came naturally to him without much thought. With a firm grip, the ancient incantation emerged from his mouth, though he himself was unsure of its meaning. It sounded majestic and powerful, like an ancient deity judging sinners in primordial times.
dāng cǐ bǎo gāng gāng xiàn shēn de shí hòu ， bīng pò yǒu xiē huǎng hū ， suí hòu jiù dèng dà le shuāng mù ， yǎn zhōng liú lù chū yòu jīng yòu xǐ zhī sè ， zhēn shì tà pò tiě xié wú mì chù ， dé lái quán bù fèi gōng fu ， zhè bú shì zì jǐ kǔ xīn móu huà ， ér xiǎng yào xún zhǎo de wǔ lóng xǐ me ？
当此宝刚刚现身的时候，冰魄有些恍惚，随后就瞪大了双目，眼中流露出又惊又喜之色，真是踏破铁鞋无觅处，得来全不费工夫，这不是自己苦心谋划，而想要寻找的五龙玺么？
Wu...
méi cuò ， zì jǐ jué duì méi yǒu yǎn huā de 。
没错，自己绝对没有眼花的。
It seemed as if a breeze had blown through. The Five Dragon Seal flashed and flew to the top of his head. Its surface emitted more silver light, forming a vortex.
zhēn shì zuò mèng yě méi yǒu xiǎng dào ， zhè jiàn bǎo wù ， jū rán luò zài yǎn qián zhè xiǎo zi de shǒu zhōng ， bīng pò zhèn jīng zhī yú ， liǎn shàng mǎn shì kuáng xǐ ， yǎn zhōng yě liú lù chū jǐ fēn tān lán zhī yì 。
真是做梦也没有想到，这件宝物，居然落在眼前这小子的手中，冰魄震惊之余，脸上满是狂喜，眼中也流露出几分贪婪之意。
This vortex was enormous, with a diameter of over a hundred feet. Lightning crackled inside it, and fierce winds made it difficult to open one's eyes.
rán ér gāo xìng jǐn jǐn chí xù le jǐ xī 。
然而高兴仅仅持续了几息。
From within emerged an illusory figure.
zhǐ jiàn wǔ lóng xǐ de biǎo miàn ， chū xiàn le yí gè yín sè de guāng diǎn ， suí hòu xùn sù màn yán ， hěn kuài zhěng gè bǎo wù dōu tòu chū chún yín de cuǐ càn 。
只见五龙玺的表面，出现了一个银色的光点，随后迅速蔓延，很快整个宝物都透出纯银的璀璨。
Snake body, lizard legs, phoenix claws, deer antlers, fish scales...
yī gǔ jīng chún yǐ jí de líng qì cóng lǐ miàn zhàn fàng chū lái 。
一股精纯以极的灵气从里面绽放出来。
Even more mysteriously, there were tiger whiskers at the corners of its mouth, and a fist-sized gemstone faintly visible on its forehead.
jīn mù shuǐ huǒ tǔ ！
金木水火土！
Sss...
nà líng qì de shǔ xìng rú hé ， jìng rán hěn nán dān chún de fēn biàn chū ， jiù xiàng shì bāo hán le quán bù wǔ xíng shǔ xìng shì de 。
那灵气的属性如何，竟然很难单纯的分辨出，就像是包含了全部五行属性似的。
Ice Soul Demon Ancestor involuntarily sucked in her breath. It was indeed the Five Dragon Seal. Otherwise, how could it summon an illusory true dragon?
yuán běn jiù qī hēi de tiān mù ， cǐ kè biàn dé yuè fā de àn dàn wú guāng le ， fàng yǎn wàng qù ， shēn shǒu bù jiàn wǔ zhǐ ， shì zhēn de sī háo guāng liàng yě méi yǒu ， yǎn jīng wán quán méi yǒu le xiào guǒ ， jiù gēn chuán shuō zhōng de zhēng yǎn xiā chà bu duō ， hǎo zài lín xuān shì xiū xiān zhě ， jí shǐ bù jiè zhù shuāng mù ， yòng shén shí yě kě yǐ kàn de qīng qīng chǔ chǔ 。
原本就漆黑的天幕，此刻变得越发的黯淡无光了，放眼望去，伸手不见五指，是真的丝毫光亮也没有，眼睛完全没有了效果，就跟传说中的睁眼瞎差不多，好在林轩是修仙者，即使不借助双目，用神识也可以看得清清楚楚。
True dragons and phoenixes were legendary as the strongest true spirits. Their power might not match that of true immortals, but they were still formidable.
ér zhè shí hòu ， yī jù qí guài de zhòu yǔ què mò míng qí miào de chū xiàn zài le nǎo hǎi lǐ 。
而这时候，一句奇怪的咒语却莫名其妙的出现在了脑海里。
Not only did he possess this treasure, but he could also command it. Could there be more secrets hidden within him?
nà zhòu yǔ fēi cháng duǎn cù ， dàn fā yīn què shì yǐ qián cóng lái yě bù céng jiàn guò ， shèn zhì gēn běn yě méi yǒu tīng shuō ， yīn wèi zhè dōng xī ， bù lùn rèn hé gǔ jí ， shì dōu bú huì liú chuán xià lái dì 。
那咒语非常短促，但发音却是以前从来也不曾见过，甚至根本也没有听说，因为这东西，不论任何古籍，是都不会流传下来地。
Ice Soul Demon Ancestor's thoughts raced, but she found herself unable to move. This was the effect of Dragon Aura. If her main body were here, a mere illusory true dragon wouldn't matter much. But since she had only summoned a fragment of her soul, and after fighting to this extent, despite appearing powerful, she was actually on the verge of exhaustion.
rán ér piān piān ， jiù zhè me qīng xī de lào yìn zài nǎo hǎi lǐ 。
然而偏偏，就这么清晰的烙印在脑海里。
Unable to move, the true dragon's claws flashed, and a silver light streaked past before Ice Soul Demon Ancestor's head was taken off. This wasn't over yet. The roar of the dragon echoed in her ears as the illusory figure opened its mouth, spewing out silver flames. While not true spirit fire, it was enough to reduce her fragment of soul to nothing.
lín xuān yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī xǐ sè ， tā yǐ jīng yǒu guò nà me yī cì jīng yàn le ， zhè huí ， dāng rán xiǎn de jià qīng jiù shú ， gēn běn bù yòng duō jiā kǎo lǜ shén me ， shuāng shǒu yī wò ， gǔ piáo yì cháng de zhòu yǔ cóng tā zuǐ lǐ chuán chū ， zhì yú yì si ， lián lín xuān zì jǐ dōu nòng bù qīng chǔ ， rán ér què xiǎn de dà qì páng bó ， fǎng fú shì mán huāng shí qī de gǔ shén zài shěn pàn yǒu zuì de shì rén shì de 。
林轩眼中闪过一丝喜色，他已经有过那么一次经验了，这回，当然显得驾轻就熟，根本不用多加考虑什么，双手一握，古朴异常的咒语从他嘴里传出，至于意思，连林轩自己都弄不清楚，然而却显得大气磅礴，仿佛是蛮荒时期的古神在审判有罪的世人似的。
The enemy fell!
wū ……
呜……
Everything happened so simply and quickly that Lin Xuan almost doubted his eyesight after such a long fight.
fǎng fú shān fēng chuī guò ， wǔ lóng xǐ yī shǎn ， fēi dào le tóu dǐng shàng kōng ， biǎo miàn de yín guāng yuè fā pēn bó ， suí hòu chū xiàn le yí gè xuán wō 。
仿佛山风吹过，五龙玺一闪，飞到了头顶上空，表面的银光越发喷薄，随后出现了一个漩涡。
Pfft...
nà xuán wō jù dà yǐ jí ， zhí jìng zú yǒu bǎi zhàng zhī jù ， lǐ miàn diàn shǎn léi míng ， yī dào dào kuáng fēng guā dé rén zhēng bù kāi yǎn jīng 。
那漩涡巨大以极，直径足有百丈之巨，里面电闪雷鸣，一道道狂风刮得人睁不开眼睛。
Two more soft sounds followed as the two ancient demons at the Convergence Realm level also vanished. This wasn't surprising; these fellows were merely illusory manifestations created by Ice Soul's secret techniques using her fragment of soul.
suí hòu cóng lǐ miàn chū xiàn le yī dào xū yǐng 。
随后从里面出现了一道虚影。
Since Ice Soul had fallen, they couldn't possibly survive.
shé shēn 、 xī tuǐ 、 fèng zhǎo 、 lù jiǎo 、 yú lín ……
蛇身、蜥腿、凤爪、鹿角、鱼鳞……
This outcome left Lin Xuan with a look of disbelief. He knew the Five Dragon Seal was powerful, but he never imagined it would be so extreme.
gèng jiā xuán miào de shì ， tā kǒu jiǎo yǒu hǔ xū 、 é xià gèng yǐn yǐn kě jiàn yī quán tou dà bǎo zhū de xū yǐng 。
更加玄妙的是，它口角有虎须、额下更隐隐可见一拳头大宝珠的虚影。
A single strike, and his troublesome enemy was eliminated effortlessly.
sī ……
嘶……
If not for witnessing this firsthand, Lin Xuan wouldn't have expected such an outcome.
bīng pò mó zǔ bù yóu de dào xī le yī kǒu liáng qì ， guǒ rán shì wǔ lóng xǐ ， fǒu zé zěn me kě néng qū shǐ chū zhēn lóng de xū yǐng 。
冰魄魔祖不由得倒吸了一口凉气，果然是五龙玺，否则怎么可能驱使出真龙的虚影。
But facts were facts, and this result brought him immense joy, though at a heavy cost.
zhēn lóng yǔ cǎi fèng ， nǎi shì chuán shuō zhōng zuì qiáng dà de zhēn líng ， tā men de shí lì ， jiù suàn hái wú yǔ zhēn xiān xiāng bǐ ， xiāng chà nà yě shì bìng bù yuǎn dì 。
真龙与彩凤，乃是传说中最强大的真灵，它们的实力，就算还无与真仙相比，相差那也是并不远地。
The silver light points in his body had been completely exhausted. While he knew these points were rare, they couldn't be replenished as quickly as the blue ones. It would take years to recover them.
duì fāng bù jǐn yōng yǒu zhè bǎo wù ， hái néng gòu qū shǐ ， nán dào shuō ， tā shēn shàng hái yǐn cáng zhe bié de mì mì 。
对方不仅拥有这宝物，还能够驱使，难道说，他身上还隐藏着别的秘密。
In other words, during this period, Lin Xuan wouldn't be able to use the Five Dragon Seal, or if he did, it wouldn't have the same impressive power.
bīng pò mó zǔ xīn zhōng niàn tou shǎn guò ， què fā xiàn zì jǐ dòng tán bù dé ， zhè shì lóng wēi dài lái de shù fù xiào guǒ ， ruò shì běn tǐ zài cǐ ， qū qū zhēn lóng xū yǐng bù zhí yī tí ， dàn tā cǐ kè jiàng lín de ， jǐn jǐn shì yī lǚ fēn hún ér yǐ ， hé kuàng yǔ lín xuān dǎ dòu dào zhè zhòng dì bù ， bié kàn tā biǎo miàn hái qiáng dà yǐ jí ， qí shí yǐ jīng dào le yóu jǐn dēng kū de jìng dì 。
冰魄魔祖心中念头闪过，却发现自己动弹不得，这是龙威带来的束缚效果，若是本体在此，区区真龙虚影不值一提，但她此刻降临的，仅仅是一缕分魂而已，何况与林轩打斗到这种地步，别看她表面还强大以极，其实已经到了油尽灯枯的境地。
The silver light points he had painstakingly accumulated were now gone, and while he wasn't heartbroken, the exposure of the Five Dragon Seal was a source of great concern.
dòng tán bù dé ， zhǐ jiàn nà zhēn lóng lì zhuǎ yī wǔ ， yī dào yín sè de guāng máng shǎn guò ， suí hòu cǐ nǚ jiù bèi qǔ xià le tóu lú ， zhè hái méi yǒu jié shù ， lóng hǒu shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， xū yǐng zhāng kāi kǒu ， yín sè de huǒ yàn cóng lǐ miàn pēn tǔ ， suī rán zhè bìng fēi zhēn líng zhī huǒ ， dàn yě zú gòu jiāng bīng pò mó zǔ de fēn hún huà wèi xū wú 。
动弹不得，只见那真龙利爪一舞，一道银色的光芒闪过，随后此女就被取下了头颅，这还没有结束，龙吼声传入耳朵，虚影张开口，银色的火焰从里面喷吐，虽然这并非真灵之火，但也足够将冰魄魔祖的分魂化为虚无。
Although Ice Soul's fragment of soul had been defeated, she could still communicate with her main body. She would surely know what happened.
duì fāng yǔn luò ！
对方陨落！
Could the Five Dragon Seal be an innate divine treasure? Lin Xuan wondered. If so, Ice Soul wouldn't let it go. Such treasures were coveted by even true demon ancestors.
suǒ yǒu de yī qiè jiǎn dān dào bù kě sī yì de dì bù 。
所有的一切简单到不可思议的地步。
Sighing, he realized this trouble was indeed headache-inducing.
ruò bú shì lín xuān gāng gāng yǔ cǐ nǚ dòu liáng jiǔ ， kǒng pà dōu yào huái yí tā bù guò shì tú yǒu qí biǎo bà le 。
若不是林轩刚刚与此女斗良久，恐怕都要怀疑她不过是徒有其表罢了。
But Lin Xuan didn't dwell on his worries. The incident had already occurred, and worrying about it would be futile. He wouldn't waste time on such matters.
pū ……
噗……
As a seasoned cultivator, he knew better than to let trivial concerns bother him.
jǐn jiē zhe ， yòu yǒu liǎng shēng qīng xiǎng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà liǎng tóu dòng xuán qī de gǔ mó yě huà wèi le xū wú ， zhè bù xī qí ， zhè liǎng gè jiā huo ， guī gēn jié dǐ ， bù guò shì bīng pò fēn hún yòng mì shù biàn huà chū lái de huà shēn ér yǐ 。
紧接着，又有两声轻响传入耳朵，那两头洞玄期的古魔也化为了虚无，这不稀奇，这两个家伙，归根结底，不过是冰魄分魂用秘术变化出来的化身而已。
After all, as the saying goes, if it's meant to be, it will happen; why worry over what can't be avoided?
bīng pò jì rán yǔn luò ， tā men yòu zěn me kě néng cún huó 。
冰魄既然陨落，它们又怎么可能存活。
Regardless, the immediate danger had been resolved. Lin Xuan looked up and found another ancient demon trembling in the distance—Qiao Yun, the Ice Soul attendant.
ér zhè yàng de jié guǒ ， ràng lín xuān liǎn shàng dōu lù chū le bù kě sī yì de zhī sè ， tā xiǎo de ， wǔ lóng xǐ hěn shì liǎo de ， dàn zuò mèng yě bù céng xiǎng ， jū rán kuā zhāng dào rú cǐ dì bù 。
而这样的结果，让林轩脸上都露出了不可思议的之色，他晓得，五龙玺很是了得，但做梦也不曾想，居然夸张到如此地步。
If he used soul probing on her, might he find some clues? For example, what was Ice Soul's true purpose for descending to this world and causing a demonic calamity?
jǐn jǐn yī jī ， qīng miáo dàn xiě jiù miè shā le ràng zì jǐ tóu téng de qiáng dí 。
仅仅一击，轻描淡写就灭杀了让自己头疼的强敌。
With these thoughts, Lin Xuan flashed past. Despite his depleted energy, a Convergence Realm ancient demon posed no challenge to him. He pressed his hand against her head and used soul probing...
ruò bú shì qīn yǎn mù dǔ ， zuò mèng lín xuān yě shì yù liào bú dào dì 。
若不是亲眼目睹，做梦林轩也是预料不到地。
After a cup of tea, Lin Xuan withdrew his hand with a grim expression. He hadn't gotten the results he wanted; Ice Soul had already sealed away her memories.
bù guò shì shí jiù shì shì shí ， zhè ge jié guǒ ràng lín xuān xǐ yuè yǐ jí ， dāng rán ， tā fù chū de dài jià yě shì fēi cháng cǎn zhòng dì 。
不过事实就是事实，这个结果让林轩喜悦以极，当然，他付出的代价也是非常惨重地。
Of course, it was Ice Soul who acted. And given that she likely did this from her main body, there was no way to undo it. Lin Xuan could only sigh.
tǐ nèi de yín sè guāng diǎn bèi xiāo hào yī kōng zàn qiě bù tí ， yào zhī dào zhè zhǒng yín sè de guāng diǎn kě shì fēi cháng zhēn xī ， yǔ lán sè guāng diǎn yòng wán le hěn kuài jiù kě yǐ huī fù bù tóng ， yín sè guāng diǎn nǎi shì xiāo hào pǐn ， méi gè shí nián bā nián bié xiǎng fù yuán 。
体内的银色光点被消耗一空暂且不提，要知道这种银色的光点可是非常珍稀，与蓝色光点用完了很快就可以恢复不同，银色光点乃是消耗品，没个十年八年别想复原。
He wondered if any clues might be found in the altar. Lin Xuan flashed past and entered.
huàn jù huà shuō ， zài zhè duàn shí jiān lǐ ， lín xuān bié xiǎng shǐ yòng wǔ lóng xǐ ， huò zhě shuō ， jí shǐ yòng le ， yě bú huì yǒu xiàn zài zhè yàng lìng rén cè mù de wēi lì 。
换句话说，在这段时间里，林轩别想使用五龙玺，或者说，即使用了，也不会有现在这样令人侧目的威力。
...
hǎo bù róng yì jī zǎn xià lái de yín sè guāng diǎn ， xiāo hào yī kōng ， shuō bù xīn téng ， nà shì piàn rén dì ， bù guò gèng ràng lín xuān fán nǎo de ， hái shì wǔ lóng xǐ bào lù 。
好不容易积攒下来的银色光点，消耗一空，说不心疼，那是骗人地，不过更让林轩烦恼的，还是五龙玺暴露。
At the same time, in the demon realm.
gāng gāng suī rán miè shā le bīng pò ， dàn bú yào wàng le ， zhè jǐn jǐn shì yī lǚ fēn hún ér yǐ ， tā běn tǐ tōng guò shén hún jiān de lián xì ， bì rán yǐ jīng dé zhī le yuán wěi shì shén me 。
刚刚虽然灭杀了冰魄，但不要忘了，这仅仅是一缕分魂而已，她本体通过神魂间的联系，必然已经得知了原委是什么。
As one of the upper-tier interfaces on par with the spirit realm, the demon realm was vast beyond measure. Unlike the spirit realm, which consisted of hundreds of smaller realms, the demon realm was complete.
wǔ lóng xǐ de wēi lì rú cǐ lí pǔ ， nán dào shì xiān tiān líng bǎo me ？
五龙玺的威力如此离谱，难道是先天灵宝么？
Its expanse could only be described as boundless. Its borders were impossible to determine.

林轩暗中猜测，若是如此的话，冰魄绝不会放过，那种等级的宝物，即便是真魔始祖，肯定也会眼馋觊觎的。
The demon realm wasn't as dark and terrifying as rumored; it had its share of beautiful landscapes. Some places were like paradises, not inferior to the spirit realm.
xīn zhōng tàn xī ， zhè yī cì rě de má fán ， hái zhēn shì tóu téng wú bǐ 。
心中叹息，这一次惹的麻烦，还真是头疼无比。
This was a vast icy plain covered in snow. However, demonic energy permeated everywhere. At the end of the ice plain stood a crystal palace-like structure.
bù guò lín xuān yě méi yǒu yì zhí yù mèn xià qù ， bì jìng shì qíng fā dōu yǐ jīng fā shēng le ， jiù suàn yù mèn ， nà yě shì yú shì wú bǔ ， gēn běn méi yǒu rèn hé de hǎo chù 。
不过林轩也没有一直郁闷下去，毕竟事情发都已经发生了，就算郁闷，那也是于事无补，根本没有任何的好处。
Without being summoned, ordinary demons wouldn't dare come here.
yǐ lín xuān de chéng fǔ ， dāng rán bú huì wèi zì jǐ zhǎo zhè zhǒng wú wèi fán nǎo de 。
以林轩的城府，当然不会为自己找这种无谓烦恼的。
For this was Ice Soul's territory. As one of the nine true demon ancestors, her power was beyond imagination for outsiders.
However, at this moment, Lin Xuan had no time to worry about future troubles. The pressing issue was how to deal with the immediate danger.
Otherwise, if he fell, all his worries would become a joke.
There were priorities in matters of life and death. Lin Xuan naturally understood the importance of weighing benefits against risks.
His trump card was the Five Dragon Seal.
This treasure could easily shatter even a lightning strike. In terms of power and rarity, it far surpassed the Devouring Spirit Sword.
With these thoughts in mind, Lin Xuan closed his eyes. Ice Soul Demon Ancestor, not one to sit idle, flashed past and surrounded him with her two ancient demons in a triangular formation.
Three against one would surely eliminate this young man quickly.
Her jade hand was already raised, but Lin Xuan's closing eyes surprised her. What was he doing?
Was he mocking her or just playing games?
Ice Soul Demon Ancestor was taken aback as Lin Xuan used Inner Vision to sink his divine consciousness into his dantian.
In the depths of his qi sea, a blue starry ocean slowly floated, with light points rotating and flickering, incredibly beautiful. Compared to before, another object hung in the center of the starry ocean, exuding an aura of mystery—the Five Dragon Seal.
His two most mysterious treasures were now together, clearly indicating they had a connection. That was why Lin Xuan hesitated to reveal the Five Dragon Seal unless absolutely necessary. While it might attract attention from ancient monsters, he feared more that accidentally revealing the blue starry ocean could be disastrous.
Suddenly, a silver light point appeared on the surface of the Five Dragon Seal and rapidly spread, soon making the entire treasure shine with pure silver brilliance.
A highly refined spirit energy burst forth from within.
Earth, Metal, Water, Fire, Wood!
The nature of this energy was difficult to discern. It seemed to contain all five elements at once.
The dark sky grew even darker, so that it was pitch black and impossible to see anything. Lin Xuan, being a cultivator, could still clearly perceive his surroundings with divine vision.
A strange incantation suddenly appeared in his mind.
This incantation was short but sounded like nothing he had ever heard before—something not found in any ancient texts or records.
It left an indelible impression on his mind.
Lin Xuan's eyes lit up. He had experienced this once before, so it came naturally to him without much thought. With a firm grip, the ancient incantation emerged from his mouth, though he himself was unsure of its meaning. It sounded majestic and powerful, like an ancient deity judging sinners in primordial times.
Wu...
It seemed as if a breeze had blown through. The Five Dragon Seal flashed and flew to the top of his head. Its surface emitted more silver light, forming a vortex.
This vortex was enormous, with a diameter of over a hundred feet. Lightning crackled inside it, and fierce winds made it difficult to open one's eyes.
From within emerged an illusory figure.
Snake body, lizard legs, phoenix claws, deer antlers, fish scales...
Even more mysteriously, there were tiger whiskers at the corners of its mouth, and a fist-sized gemstone faintly visible on its forehead.
Sss...
Ice Soul Demon Ancestor involuntarily sucked in her breath. It was indeed the Five Dragon Seal. Otherwise, how could it summon an illusory true dragon?
True dragons and phoenixes were legendary as the strongest true spirits. Their power might not match that of true immortals, but they were still formidable.
Not only did he possess this treasure, but he could also command it. Could there be more secrets hidden within him?
Ice Soul Demon Ancestor's thoughts raced, but she found herself unable to move. This was the effect of Dragon Aura. If her main body were here, a mere illusory true dragon wouldn't matter much. But since she had only summoned a fragment of her soul, and after fighting to this extent, despite appearing powerful, she was actually on the verge of exhaustion.
Unable to move, the true dragon's claws flashed, and a silver light streaked past before Ice Soul Demon Ancestor's head was taken off. This wasn't over yet. The roar of the dragon echoed in her ears as the illusory figure opened its mouth, spewing out silver flames. While not true spirit fire, it was enough to reduce her fragment of soul to nothing.
The enemy fell!
Everything happened so simply and quickly that Lin Xuan almost doubted his eyesight after such a long fight.
Pfft...
Two more soft sounds followed as the two ancient demons at the Convergence Realm level also vanished. This wasn't surprising; these fellows were merely illusory manifestations created by Ice Soul's secret techniques using her fragment of soul.
Since Ice Soul had fallen, they couldn't possibly survive.
This outcome left Lin Xuan with a look of disbelief. He knew the Five Dragon Seal was powerful, but he never imagined it would be so extreme.
A single strike, and his troublesome enemy was eliminated effortlessly.
If not for witnessing this firsthand, Lin Xuan wouldn't have expected such an outcome.
But facts were facts, and this result brought him immense joy, though at a heavy cost.
The silver light points in his body had been completely exhausted. While he knew these points were rare, they couldn't be replenished as quickly as the blue ones. It would take years to recover them.
In other words, during this period, Lin Xuan wouldn't be able to use the Five Dragon Seal, or if he did, it wouldn't have the same impressive power.
The silver light points he had painstakingly accumulated were now gone, and while he wasn't heartbroken, the exposure of the Five Dragon Seal was a source of great concern.
Although Ice Soul's fragment of soul had been defeated, she could still communicate with her main body. She would surely know what happened.
Could the Five Dragon Seal be an innate divine treasure? Lin Xuan wondered. If so, Ice Soul wouldn't let it go. Such treasures were coveted by even true demon ancestors.
Sighing, he realized this trouble was indeed headache-inducing.
But Lin Xuan didn't dwell on his worries. The incident had already occurred, and worrying about it would be futile. He wouldn't waste time on such matters.
As a seasoned cultivator, he knew better than to let trivial concerns bother him.
After all, as the saying goes, if it's meant to be, it will happen; why worry over what can't be avoided?
Regardless, the immediate danger had been resolved. Lin Xuan looked up and found another ancient demon trembling in the distance—Qiao Yun, the Ice Soul attendant.
If he used soul probing on her, might he find some clues? For example, what was Ice Soul's true purpose for descending to this world and causing a demonic calamity?
With these thoughts, Lin Xuan flashed past. Despite his depleted energy, a Convergence Realm ancient demon posed no challenge to him. He pressed his hand against her head and used soul probing...
After a cup of tea, Lin Xuan withdrew his hand with a grim expression. He hadn't gotten the results he wanted; Ice Soul had already sealed away her memories.
Of course, it was Ice Soul who acted. And given that she likely did this from her main body, there was no way to undo it. Lin Xuan could only sigh.
He wondered if any clues might be found in the altar. Lin Xuan flashed past and entered.
...
At the same time, in the demon realm.
As one of the upper-tier interfaces on par with the spirit realm, the demon realm was vast beyond measure. Unlike the spirit realm, which consisted of hundreds of smaller realms, the demon realm was complete.
Its expanse could only be described as boundless. Its borders were impossible to determine.
The demon realm wasn't as dark and terrifying as rumored; it had its share of beautiful landscapes. Some places were like paradises, not inferior to the spirit realm.
This was a vast icy plain covered in snow. However, demonic energy permeated everywhere. At the end of the ice plain stood a crystal palace-like structure.
Without being summoned, ordinary demons wouldn't dare come here.
For this was Ice Soul's territory. As one of the nine true demon ancestors, her power was beyond imagination for outsiders.
