昨晚休息得不错，林轩神完气足，所以也不用再想屏息打坐，直接就可以做自己想要做的事情了工
Last night's rest was quite good, and Lin Xuan felt his spirit and energy were at their peak. Thus, he didn't need to practice breath control meditation; instead, he could do what he wanted.
zhè yī cì wài chū ， yuán běn shì wèi le shǐ yòng zǐ xīn dì huǒ ， ér zhuàn qǔ yī xiē zōng mén gòng xiàn de 。 jié guǒ zhǒng zhǒng qí yù ， shí zài shì shǐ liào bù jí ， zì jǐ hǎo jǐ cì chà diǎn yǔn luò ， dàn dà nàn bù sǐ bì yǒu hòu fú ， yě yīn cǐ dé dào le xǔ duō hǎo chù yǔ bǎo wù 。
这一次外出，原本是为了使用紫心地火，而赚取一些宗门贡献的。结果种种奇遇，实在是始料不及，自己好几次差点陨落，但大难不死必有后福，也因此得到了许多好处与宝物。
This time, the trip was originally intended for using Purple Heart Earth Fire to earn some sect contributions. However, all the unexpected encounters turned out to be beyond his expectations. He nearly perished several times but survived each time, and as a result, he gained many benefits and treasures.
xiān qián ， yì zhí zài máng zhe gǎn lù ， rú jīn zhōng yú yǒu xián xiá kāi pì dòng fǔ ， yì fāng miàn ， shì wèi le bì huò ， lìng wài yì fāng miàn ， yě shì wèi le chǔ lǐ dé dào de hǎo chù yǔ bǎo wù 。
先前，一直在忙着赶路，如今终于有闲暇开辟洞府，一方面，是为了避祸，另外一方面，也是为了处理得到的好处与宝物。
Previously, Lin Xuan had been busy traveling, so now that he finally had some free time, he planned to establish a cave dwelling for two purposes: one was to avoid danger, the other was to handle his newfound benefits and treasures.
hěn duō dōng xī ， bìng bú shì dé dào le ， jiù néng lì jiù tí gāo shí lì ， bì xū xiāo huà yǐ hòu ， cái néng zhēn zhèng chéng wéi zì jǐ de dōng xī 。
很多东西，并不是得到了，就能立就提高实力，必须消化以后，才能真正成为自己的东西。
Many things aren't immediately beneficial just because you obtain them; they need to be digested before becoming truly yours.
rán ér lín xuān shǒu xiān yào zuò de shì qíng ， què yǒu diǎn guǐ yì ：
然而林轩首先要做的事情，却有点诡异：
However, Lin Xuan's first task seemed somewhat peculiar:
tā bú shì tí shēng shí lì ， fǎn ér zhǔn bèi jiāng yī bù fèn lì fēng yìn qǐ 。
他不是提升实力，反而准备将一部分力封印起。
Instead of enhancing his strength, he intended to seal a portion of his power.
lín xuān zhè me zuò ， dāng rán bú shì chī duō le fàn shǎ ， ér shì jīng guò zǐ xì de zhēn zhuó yǔ kǎo lǜ a ！
林轩这么做，当然不是吃多了犯傻，而是经过仔细的斟酌与考虑啊！
Lin Xuan wasn’t being foolish; this decision was the result of careful consideration.
zài tiān wú shān zhī shí ， yīn wèi bèi huǒ yún zūn zhě suàn jì ， lín xuān chà yì diǎn jiù yǔn luò zài le yuán qì zhī jié lǐ ， rán ér liǎng jiàn shén mì de bǎo wù ， què ràng qí huà xiǎn wéi yí 。
在天吴山之时，因为被火云尊者算计，林轩差一点就陨落在了元气之劫里，然而两件神秘的宝物，却让其化险为夷。
During his time on Heavenly Wukong Mountain, he almost perished in the Primordial Energy Tribulation due to Firecloud Venerable's deception. However, two mysterious treasures saved him from that peril: Blue Star Sea and the Five Dragon Seat!
lán sè xīng hǎi yǔ wǔ lóng zuò ！
蓝色星海与五龙坐！
Lin Xuan couldn't help but marvel at his good fortune.
lín xuān yě àn zì gǎn tàn zì jǐ de yùn qì 。
林轩也暗自感叹自己的运气。
Regardless, this tribulation was finally over. Following it, Lin Xuan began reaping benefits. A large influx of primordial energy unexpectedly propelled him to late-stage Profound Void Realm.
bù guǎn rú hé ， zhè yuán qì zhī jié zǒng suàn shì dù guò ， jǐn jiē zhe ， lín xuān jiù kāi shǐ shōu huò hǎo chù ， dà liàng tiān dì yuán qì de guàn zhù ， jū rán ràng qí yì wài jìn jí ， yī bù kuà rù le dòng xuán hòu qī 。
不管如何，这元气之劫总算是度过，紧接着，林轩就开始收获好处，大量天地元气的灌注，居然让其意外晋级，一步跨入了洞玄后期。
This was a rare encounter indeed.
zhè shí zài shì nán dé de shēng yù ！
这实在是难得的声遇！
However, for Lin Xuan, it wasn’t entirely positive; in fact, it brought both advantages and hidden dangers.
rán ér fàng zài lín xuān shēn shàng ， què bìng bù zú xǐ ， huò zhě shuō ， shì jì yǒu hǎo chù ， què yě jiāng yǐn yōu gěi mái xià le 。
然而放在林轩身上，却并不足喜，或者说，是既有好处，却也将隐忧给埋下了。
Because of his unique situation, the infusion of primordial energy didn't advance his main core婴 but instead promoted his demon nucleus from early-stage Profound Void Realm to late-stage directly.
yīn wèi lín xuān qíng kuàng tè shū ， zhè cì tiān dì yuán qì de guàn zhù ， bìng bú shì ràng qí zhǔ yuán yīng jìn jí ， ér shì yāo dān ， cóng dòng xuán chū qī ， yī lián kuà yuè le liǎng gè jìng jiè ， zhí jiē mài rù hòu qī le
因为林轩情况特殊，这次天地元气的灌注，并不是让其主元婴晋级，而是妖丹，从洞玄初期，一连跨越了两个境界，直接迈入后期了
Frankly speaking, this was still a good thing.
píng xīn lái shuō ， zhè gù rán yě shì hǎo shì 。
平心来说，这固然也是好事。
Lin Xuan's advancement wasn’t about changing all three cores; his realm would align with the strongest one. From that perspective, Lin Xuan had indeed advanced to late-stage.
lín xuān jìng jiè de tí shēng ， bìng bú shì yào shuāng yīng yī dān quán dōu gǎi biàn ， tā de jìng jiè rú hé ， shì yǔ sān zhě zhōng zuì qiáng de nà ge kàn qí 。
林轩境界的提升，并不是要双婴一丹全都改变，他的境界如何，是与三者中最强的那个看齐。
However, sometimes theory and reality differ.
cóng zhè ge jiǎo dù ， shuō lín xuān jìn jiē dào le hòu qī nà shì yì diǎn yě méi yǒu cuò 。
从这个角度，说林轩进阶到了后期那是一点也没有错。
Previously, his main core婴 was always far superior to the others, so he never felt any discomfort. But now, it was reversed: the demon nucleus became the primary focus, while the two cores were merely auxiliary.
rán ér yǒu shí hòu ， lǐ lùn yǔ shí jì ， duō shǎo hái shì yǒu yī xiē chā yì 。
然而有时候，理论与实际，多少还是有一些差异。
This created a problem.
yǐ qián ， lín xuān yì zhí dōu shì zhǔ yuán yīng de jìng jiè yuǎn yuǎn shèng guò hòu liǎng zhě ， suǒ yǐ cóng méi yǒu gǎn dào shén me bù tuǒ ， rán ér zhè yī cì ， què diān dǎo guò lái ， yǐ yāo dān wéi zhǔ ， liǎng gè yuán yīng dōu biàn chéng le fǔ zhù 。
以前，林轩一直都是主元婴的境界远远胜过后两者，所以从没有感到什么不妥，然而这一次，却颠倒过来，以妖丹为主，两个元婴都变成了辅助。
Lin Xuan felt uncomfortable or rather, extremely awkward about this situation. If left unaddressed, it could become a hidden concern.
jié guǒ wèn tí jiù chū lái le 。
结果问题就出来了。
Against ordinary enemies, it wouldn’t matter much, but if he encountered those dangerous situations again, it might turn into his Achilles' heel.
lín xuān gǎn jué bù xí guàn ， huò zhě shuō ， biè niǔ dào le jí diǎn 。
林轩感觉不习惯，或者说，别扭到了极点。
Given Lin Xuan's nature, how could he ignore such an issue?
zhè jiàn shì qíng ruò shì bù guǎn ， kě jiù huì chéng wéi yí gè yǐn yōu bān de cún zài 。
这件事情若是不管，可就会成为一个隐忧般的存在。
Solving the problem wasn't difficult; there were several approaches for him to consider:
duì shàng yì bān de dí rén méi shén me ， rán ér ruò shì yù jiàn tóu jǐ cì nà yàng de wēi xiǎn ， yě xǔ jiù huì chéng wéi zì jǐ zhì mìng ruò diǎn 。
对上一般的敌人没什么，然而若是遇见头几次那样的危险，也许就会成为自己致命弱点。
Firstly, he could enhance his main core婴's realm. This would restore the primary and secondary roles, making it the most secure option.
yǐ lín xuān de xìng gé ， zhè yàng de wèn tí ， zěn me kě néng fàng rèn bù guǎn ？
以林轩的性格，这样的问题，怎么可能放任不管？
However, practically speaking, this was the hardest to achieve. Although Lin Xuan had obtained a large number of waste pills that could increase his Profound Void Realm power, cultivation wasn’t without its challenges. In just three hundred years, he managed to advance from early-stage to mid-stage, which was already remarkable. Without any special opportunities, it would be extremely difficult for the main core婴 to advance further in a short time.
yào jiě jué ， qí shí yě bù nán ， sī lù yǒu jǐ gè ， rèn píng gōng lín xuān cān kǎo xuǎn zé 。
要解决，其实也不难，思路有几个，任凭供林轩参考选择。
So, this most secure approach had to be abandoned.
dì yí gè ， jiù shì jiāng zhǔ yuán yīng de jìng jiè tí shēng shàng lái ， rú cǐ ， jiù kě yǐ jiāng zhǔ kè de dì wèi ， chóng xīn diān dǎo guò lái 。
第一个，就是将主元婴的境界提升上来，如此，就可以将主客的地位，重新颠倒过来。
The second option seemed simple: Lin Xuan could adjust his cultivation habits to adapt to the demon nucleus as the primary focus and the two cores as secondary ones.
zhè shì zuì wěn tuǒ ， yě zuì méi yǒu hòu huàn de yí gè 。
这是最稳妥，也最没有后患的一个。
However, such an adjustment would be extremely difficult given that he had lived for over a thousand years with the core婴 as the main focus. Moreover, even if it were possible, doing so would introduce significant risks.
rán ér shí jì cāo zuò shàng ， què piān piān zuì nán 。
然而实际操作上，却偏偏最难。
Because the advancement of the demon nucleus relied on the infusion of primordial energy rather than diligent practice. Although both cores had advanced to late-stage, their foundations seemed unstable, much like trying to grow a plant too quickly. With the demon nucleus as primary, there was a risk that it might cause trouble at any moment.
lín xuān suī rán huò dé le dà liàng néng gòu zēng jiā dòng xuán qī lì de fèi dān ， rán ér xiū xiān yě bù kě néng jiù méi yǒu yì diǎn jiān nán ， tā néng gòu zài duǎn duǎn sān bǎi nián ， jiāng xiū wèi cóng chū qī tí shēng dào zhōng qī ， nà yǐ jīng shì fēi cháng de liǎo bù qǐ ， zài méi yǒu shén me tè bié qí yù de qíng kuàng xià ， duǎn shí jiān nèi ， zhǔ yuán yīng xiǎng yào zài jìn jí ， shí zài shì bù róng yì 。
林轩虽然获得了大量能够增加洞玄期力的废丹，然而修仙也不可能就没有一点艰难，他能够在短短三百年，将修为从初期提升到中期，那已经是非常的了不起，在没有什么特别奇遇的情况下，短时间内，主元婴想要再晋级，实在是不容易。
Thus, Lin Xuan also discarded this option without hesitation.
suǒ yǐ zhè zuì wěn tuǒ de fāng ， zhǐ yǒu fàng qì 。
所以这最稳妥的方，只有放弃。
That left only one path: sealing part of the demon nucleus's power.
zhì yú dì èr gè xuǎn zé ， shuō qǐ chéng yě bù nán ， jiù shì lín xuān zuò yī xiē tiáo zhěng ， yǐ shì yìng yāo dān wéi zhǔ ， liǎng gè yá ， yīng wèi fǔ de zhuàng tài 。
至于第二个选择，说起乘也不难，就是林轩做一些调整，以适应妖丹为主，两个牙，婴为辅的状态。
In this way, while his realm would remain late-stage, his strength would be less profound compared to the two cores. This allowed him to continue using his first core婴 as primary and the second core and demon nucleus as secondary support.
rán ér zhè yě jǐn jǐn shì shuō qǐ lái jiǎn dān ， yǐ yuán yīng wéi zhǔ de xiū liàn shēng huó ， lín xuān yǐ jīng guò le shàng qiān nián ， zěn me kě néng shuō gǎi jiù gǎi ：
然而这也仅仅是说起来简单，以元婴为主的修炼生活，林轩已经过了上千年，怎么可能说改就改：
Although it seemed like he was losing some power, this approach was the most secure and easiest to implement. Moreover, the impact was limited; once his main core婴 also advanced to late-stage, he could break the seal, allowing the demon nucleus to regain its full strength.
hé kuàng jí shǐ zhēn néng gǎi ， rú cǐ zuò lái ， yě huì yǒu hěn dà de yǐn huàn 。
何况即使真能改，如此做来，也会有很大的隐患。
After much deliberation, Lin Xuan decided on this course of action.
yīn wèi yāo dān de jìn jí ， bú shì tōng guò qín xiū kǔ liàn ， ér shì yī kào tiān dì yuán qì de guàn zhù 。 suī rán tóng yàng jìn jiē dào le hòu qī ， dàn xiǎn rán miàn lín zhe gēn jī bù wěn de wèn tí ， zhè yǔ bá miáo zhù zhǎng de dào lǐ shì yī yàng dì ， yǐ yāo dān wéi zhǔ ， zhǐ bù dìng shén me shí hòu jiù huì gěi zì jǐ dài lái má fán 。
因为妖丹的晋级，不是通过勤修苦练，而是依靠天地元气的灌注。虽然同样进阶到了后期，但显然面临着根基不稳的问题，这与拔苗助长的道理是一样地，以妖丹为主，指不定什么时候就会给自己带来麻烦。
Given that his strength far surpassed that of his peers, stability was the wisest choice.
suǒ yǐ zhè dīng ， xuǎn zé ， lín xuān yě háo bù yóu yù de fàng qì le 。
所以这叮，选择，林轩也毫不犹豫的放弃了。
Lin Xuan sat cross-legged in the training room, his eyes closed, and his hands resting flat on his knees. The entire room was silent, so quiet it seemed like a needle could be heard falling.
nà me jiù zhǐ shèng xià zuì hòu yī tiáo lù ， jiāng yāo dān yī bù fèn de lì gěi fēng yìn le 。
那么就只剩下最后一条路，将妖丹一部分的力给封印了。
Lin Xuan was practicing Inner Vision at this moment. In his dantian, the two cores were seated facing each other, while above them, the demon nucleus had grown significantly larger, rotating slowly with auras radiating from its surface, and faint symbols appeared intermittently.
zhè yàng de huà ， xī jìng jiè suī rán shì yī jiù shì hòu qī ， dàn lùn lì de shēn hòu ， hái wú yǔ yá ， yīng xiāng bǐ ， rú cǐ yī lái ， lín xuān yī jiù kě yǐ yòng dì yī yuán yīng wéi zhǔ ， dì èr yuán yīng hé yāo dān zuò wéi fǔ zhù 。
这样的话，牺境界虽然是依旧是后期，但论力的深厚，还无与牙，婴相比，如此一来，林轩依旧可以用第一元婴为主，第二元婴和妖丹作为辅助。
Indeed, having advanced to late-stage, there were noticeable differences in form compared to before. The blue star sea was still beautiful, but it seemed even more so because of the benefits gained from the tribulation; nearly ten percent of the light points had turned silver, dazzlingly bright, with obvious advantages.
suī rán biǎo miàn shàng kàn ， yào sǔn shī yī xiē lì ， dàn què zuì wèi wěn tuǒ ， yě shì zuì yì yú cāo zuò 。
虽然表面上看，要损失一些力，但却最为稳妥，也是最易于操作。
Now, Lin Xuan needed to seal a portion of the demon nucleus's power temporarily.
hé kuàng yǐng xiǎng shì yǒu xiàn de ， děng zhǔ yuán yīng yě jìn jí hòu qī yǐ hòu ， jiāng fēng yìn pò chú ， yāo dān zì rán yě jiù néng gòu huī fù hòu qī de lì le 。
何况影响是有限的，等主元婴也晋级后期以后，将封印破除，妖丹自然也就能够恢复后期的力了。
Suddenly, both cores opened their eyes and slowly stood up. Their movements were calm yet powerful as they began forming hand seals. At the same time, small lakes beneath them started to ripple without any wind. The lake water was vividly colored, representing extremely pure spiritual energy.
lín xuān jīng guò zài sān zhēn zhuó ， jué dìng jiù xuǎn zé zhè me zuò gōng
林轩经过再三斟酌，决定就选择这么做工
Wu!
bì jìng tā de shí lì yǐ yuǎn yuǎn shèng guò tóng jiē xiū xiān zhě ， suǒ yǐ qiú wěn shì zuì cōng míng de xuǎn zé 。
毕竟他的实力已远远胜过同阶修仙者，所以求稳是最聪明的选择。
As the two cores moved, the ripples in the lakes grew larger and louder. Boom! A black water column shot up into the air, though not reaching the heavens or earth, its momentum was terrifying:
lín xuān zài liàn fáng pán xī ér zuò ， shuāng móu jǐn bì ， liǎng shǒu píng fàng yú shuāng xī 。
林轩在练房盘膝而坐，双眸紧闭，两手平放于双膝。
"Go!"
zhěng móu fáng jiān zhōng sī háo shēng xī yě wú ， jìng dào le zhēn luò kě wén de dì bù 。
整牟房间中丝毫声息也无，静到了针落可闻的地步。
Both cores simultaneously pointed at the water column, with about one-fifth of their hand seals resembling petals falling like rain, merging into the water column.
lín xuān zhèng shī zhǎn nèi shì shù ， cǐ shí cǐ huī ， tā de dān tián qì hǎi zhī zhōng ， shuāng yīng xiāng duì ér zuò ， tóu dǐng de yāo dān què bǐ yǐ qián dà le xǔ duō ， huǎn huǎn xuán zhuǎn ， biǎo miàn líng guāng pēn bó ， yǐn yǐn hái yǒu wú shù mǐ lì dà xiǎo de fú wén ruò yǐn ruò xiàn zhe 。
林轩正施展内视术，此时此麾，他的丹田气海之中，双婴相对而坐，头顶的妖丹却比以前大了许多，缓缓旋转，表面灵光喷薄，隐隐还有无数米粒大小的符文若隐若现着。
Then, a dragon's roar echoed. The surface of the water column emitted auras that transformed it into a giant dragon, fierce and powerful, with intense light in its eyes. A formidable aura surged out.
bù kuì zǒu jìn jiē dào le hòu qī ， xíng tài yǔ yǐ qián xiāng bǐ ， duō shǎo yǒu le jǐ fēn chā yì ， yuǎn chù de lán sè xīng hǎi ， yī jiù shì nà yàng měi lì ， bù ， yǔ yǐ qián xiāng bǐ ， hái yào gèng shèng yī xiē ， yīn wèi nà yuán qì zhī jié dài lái de hǎo chù ， yǐ yǒu jìn shí fēn zhī yī de guāng diǎn ， yóu zhàn lán sè ， biàn chéng le yín sè ， cuǐ càn yǐ jí ， hǎo chù gèng shì bù yán ér yǐ 。
不愧走进阶到了后期，形态与以前相比，多少有了几分差异，远处的蓝色星海，依旧是那样美丽，不，与以前相比，还要更胜一些，因为那元气之劫带来的好处，已有近十分之一的光点，由湛蓝色，变成了银色，璀璨以极，好处更是不言而已。
But this was just the beginning.
ér lín xuān xiàn zài yào zuò de ， shì jiāng yāo dān de yī bù fèn lì ， zàn shí fēng yìn 。
而林轩现在要做的，是将妖丹的一部分力，暂时封印。
Next, thunderous sounds entered his ears as four differently colored water columns shot out from the lake: green for wood, red for fire, white for metal, yellow for earth, and black representing water. The five elements were now present here.
Last night's rest was quite good, and Lin Xuan felt his spirit and energy were at their peak. Thus, he didn't need to practice breath control meditation; instead, he could do what he wanted.
This time, the trip was originally intended for using Purple Heart Earth Fire to earn some sect contributions. However, all the unexpected encounters turned out to be beyond his expectations.

Previously, Lin Xuan had been busy traveling, so now that he finally had some free time, he planned to establish a cave dwelling for two purposes: one was to avoid danger, the other was to handle his newfound benefits and treasures.
Many things aren't immediately beneficial just because you obtain them; they need to be digested before becoming truly yours.
However, Lin Xuan's first task seemed somewhat peculiar:
