“ yún hǎi liè guāng zhèn yī zhàn chéng míng ， biàn shì zhèng mó gè dà shì lì de hù pài dà zhèn yě yuǎn yuǎn bù jí ， gù yǒu yōu zhōu dì yī qí zhèn de měi yù 。”
“云海裂光阵一战成名，便是正魔各大势力的护派大阵也远远不及，故有幽州第一奇阵的美誉。”
"Split-Sea Light Array Battle Gained Fame, and even the protective arrays of major forces like the Righteous and Evil Factions fall far short. Hence, it has earned a reputation as the First Wonder Array of Youzhou."
lín xuān diǎn le diǎn tóu ， liǎn shàng lù chū ruò yǒu suǒ sī zhī sè ， méi xiǎng dào míng bú jiàn jīng zhuàn de tiān mù shān ， jū rán hái yǒu rú cǐ liǎo bù qǐ de dōng xī ， kàn lái zhè xiē chuán chéng qiān nián de mén pài ， méi yǒu yí gè shì shěng yóu de dēng ， duō shǎo zǒng yǒu yī xiē shēn hòu dǐ yùn 。
林轩点了点头，脸上露出若有所思之色，没想到名不见经传的天目山，居然还有如此了不起的东西，看来这些传承千年的门派，没有一个是省油的灯，多少总有一些深厚底蕴。
Lin Xuan nodded, his face showing a thoughtful expression. He hadn't expected the obscure Tianmu Mountain to have such remarkable treasures. It seemed that these ancient sects were no simple matter; they all had some profound heritage.
ér zài liǎng rén liáo tiān de zhè duàn shí jiān ， nà nóng wù fān yǒng dé yuè jiā jù liè ， jiē zhe yī tuán qí guāng ， cóng lǐ miàn sà rán bào liè kāi lái ， bìng yǐn yǐn chuán chū léi míng zhī shēng 。
而在两人聊天的这段时间，那浓雾翻涌得越加剧烈，接着一团奇光，从里面飒然爆裂开来，并隐隐传出雷鸣之声。
During their conversation, the thick fog surged more violently. Then, a burst of strange light suddenly erupted from within, accompanied by faint thunderous sounds.
zài chǎng de xiū shì wú bù chī le yī jīng ， fēn fēn tái shǒu dǎng zhù yǎn jīng 。
在场的修士无不吃了一惊，纷纷抬手挡住眼睛。
The present cultivators were taken aback and raised their hands to shield their eyes. The strange light appeared abruptly but vanished just as quickly. When everyone lowered their hands, they couldn't help showing expressions of surprise.
nà qí guāng lái de tū rán ， dàn liǎn qù yě shì jí kuài ， dāng zhòng rén jiāng shǒu fàng xià lái yǐ hòu ， liǎn shàng bù yóu de dōu lù chū le jīng yà de biǎo qíng 。
那奇光来得突然，但敛去也是极快，当众人将手放下来以后，脸上不由得都露出了惊讶的表情。
The thick fog had completely dissipated, replaced by fluffy white clouds floating around them, with faint melodious music echoing in the air, giving a sense of being in a fairyland.
zhǐ jiàn nóng wù yǐ jīng xiāo shī dé wú yǐng wú zōng ， qǔ ér dài zhī de shì bái yún duǒ duǒ ， jiù zài zhòng rén jiǎo xià hé yāo jiān piāo fú ， zhōu wéi yǐn yǐn hái yǒu dòng tīng piāo miǎo de yīn yuè chuán chū ， jiù fǎng fú zhì shēn yú xiān jìng yì bān de gǎn jué 。
只见浓雾已经消失得无影无踪，取而代之的是白云朵朵，就在众人脚下和腰间漂浮，周围隐隐还有动听飘渺的音乐传出，就仿佛置身于仙镜一般的感觉。
Unlike the other cultivators who looked around with excitement, Lin Xuan merely glanced at it and his pupils constricted slightly. Although he hadn't studied array techniques, he had used array disks and flags multiple times, so he was somewhat familiar with this field. He secretly released his spirit sense, and sure enough, the surrounding essence energy seemed very peculiar. While it appeared like a paradisiacal scene from the mortal world, in reality, the Cloud Sea Split Light Array had been activated.
rán ér yǔ nà xiē xiū shì mǎn hán jīng xǐ de sì chù dǎ liàng bù tóng ， lín xuān jǐn jǐn shì kàn le yī yǎn ， tóng kǒng jiù wēi wēi shōu suō 。
然而与那些修士满含惊喜的四处打量不同，林轩仅仅是看了一眼，瞳孔就微微收缩。
He believed that if anyone harbored ill intentions at this moment, they would be instantly killed by the array.
suī rán tā bìng méi yǒu xué xí guò zhèn fǎ zhī shù ， dàn zhèn pán zhèn qí què shǐ yòng guò duō cì le ， duì yú cǐ dào ， yě suàn shì yǒu yí dìng liǎo jiě ， tōu tōu fàng chū shén shí ， fù jìn de líng qì guǒ rán biàn dé shí fēn guǐ yì ， biǎo miàn kàn shì yī fù rén jiān xiān jìng de yàng zi ， qí shí duì fāng shì jiāng yún hǎi liè guāng zhèn kāi qǐ 。
虽然他并没有学习过阵法之术，但阵盘阵旗却使用过多次了，对于此道，也算是有一定了解，偷偷放出神识，附近的灵气果然变得十分诡异，表面看是一副人间仙境的样子，其实对方是将云海裂光阵开启。
Amusingly, none of the cultivators knew this; instead, they were nodding and shaking their heads in delight over the beautiful scenery. Even Tiao Xiaojian beside him was no exception!
xiāng xìn cǐ shí ， rú guǒ fā xiàn yǒu rén xīn huái bù guǐ ， lì kè jiù huì yòng zhèn fǎ jiāng qí miè shā 。
相信此时，如果发现有人心怀不轨，立刻就会用阵法将其灭杀。
Unfortunately, this was merely his first impression. Soon, Lin Xuan noticed that although Tiao Xiaojian's face was filled with smiles, there was a hint of strange light flowing deep within his eyes. His hand gripping the fan had also turned slightly pale.
kě xiào zài chǎng de xiū shì wú rén zhī xiǎo ， fǎn ér kàn zhuó yǎn qián de měi jǐng ， yí gè gè yáo tóu huàng nǎo 。 xīn xǐ fēi cháng 。
可笑在场的修士无人知晓，反而看着眼前的美景，一个个摇头晃脑。欣喜非常。
Lin Xuan naturally paid attention to this but maintained an indifferent expression on the surface.
jiù lián páng biān dì tián xiǎo jiàn yě yī yàng ！
就连旁边地田小剑也一样！
After some time, a middle-aged man in his forties finally emerged from the cloud sea. The Shangguan Hospitality Manager went up to him and conducted a brief exchange before leaving silently.
kě xī zhè jǐn jǐn shì dì yī gǎn jué 。 hěn kuài lín xuān jiù fā xiàn 。 tián xiǎo jiàn suī rán xiào róng mǎn miàn 。 kě yǎn jīng shēn chù 。 què yǐn yǐn yǒu yī sī yì guāng liú dòng 。 niē zhù shàn zi dì shǒu 。 yě yǒu xiē fā bái 。
可惜这仅仅是第一感觉。很快林轩就发现。田小剑虽然笑容满面。可眼睛深处。却隐隐有一丝异光流动。捏住扇子地手。也有些发白。
"Sorry for keeping you waiting. I am Lu Yu, the manager of our sect. Welcome all fellow cultivators to Tianmu Mountain. Please follow me now. But first, please show me your jade tokens."
lín xuān zì rán shì liú shàng le xīn 。 dàn biǎo miàn shàng 。 yī rán shì yī fù ruò wú qí shì dì biǎo qíng 。
林轩自然是留上了心。但表面上。依然是一副若无其事地表情。
Lu Yu's jade token was the token given to cultivators when they stayed at Shangguan Hospitality. It had everyone's spiritual mark on it to prevent unscrupulous individuals from entering.
yòu guò le yī huì er 。 yí gè sì shí chū tóu dì zhōng nián rén zhōng yú cóng yún hǎi zhōng zǒu le chū lái 。 nà xiān kè lái dì wáng zhǎng guì shàng qù hé tā jiāo jiē yī fān 。 rán hòu jiù bù dòng shēng sè dì lí kāi 。
又过了一会儿。一个四十出头地中年人终于从云海中走了出来。那仙客来地王掌柜上去和他交接一番。然后就不动声色地离开。
After confirming everything without issue, Lu Yu smiled: "From now on, you are our esteemed guests. Please stay close and do not wander around freely; otherwise, triggering the restrictions will make us deeply regretful."
“ bù hǎo yì sī 。 ràng zhū wèi dào yǒu jiǔ děng le 。 zài xià lù yǔ 。 nǎi shì bì pài dì guǎn shì 。 huān yíng zhū wèi tóng dào lái dào tiān mù shān 。 xiàn zài qǐng suí wǒ lái 。 bù guò zài cǐ zhī qián 。 qǐng xiān gěi wǒ kàn kàn nǐ men dì yù pái 。”
“不好意思。让诸位道友久等了。在下陆羽。乃是敝派地管事。欢迎诸位同道来到天目山。现在请随我来。不过在此之前。请先给我看看你们地玉牌。”
Of course, this was a subtle way of speaking. However, the cultivators present were no fools; they all felt a chill down their spines. They realized that the seemingly beautiful cloud sea was actually an array filled with deadly traps. Their expressions turned serious as they hurriedly followed Lu Yu, afraid of making any wrong steps.
lù yǔ kǒu zhōng dì yù pái 。 jiù shì xiū shì men rù zhù xiān kè lái shí suǒ huò dé dì xìn wù 。 shàng miàn fēn bié yǒu zhòng rén dì líng shí yìn jì 。 yǐ fáng zhǐ yǒu bù guī zhī tú hùn rù tiān mù shān zhōng 。
陆羽口中地玉牌。就是修士们入住仙客来时所获得地信物。上面分别有众人地灵识印记。以防止有不归之徒混入天目山中。
After walking in the cloud sea for about ten minutes, suddenly before them, everything brightened up, and a vast canyon appeared. At the entrance stood a heavy stone tablet with three large characters: "Tianmu Mountain," shining brightly and imposing.
zài yī yī yàn shì wú wù zhī hòu ， lù yǔ de liǎn shàng liú lù chū yī sī xiào róng ：“ cóng xiàn zài qǐ ， zhū wèi jiù shì bì pài de guì kè le ， qǐng gēn jǐn yì diǎn ， qiān wàn bú yào suí yì luàn zǒu ， fǒu zé chù fā le jìn zhì ， bì pài xīn zhōng kě shì wàn fēn qiàn jiù 。”
在一一验视无误之后，陆羽的脸上流露出一丝笑容：“从现在起，诸位就是敝派的贵客了，请跟紧一点，千万不要随意乱走，否则触发了禁制，敝派心中可是万分歉疚。”
"Haha, now we have entered our inner mountain. This canyon is where temporary markets are set up. If you need anything, you can go in to exchange or purchase it. Should you wish to leave, just return to the entrance, and our disciples will see you out with respect. The market lasts for three days. There are also inns within the market, but please be mindful not to stray from the canyon's range. Climb up the mountain; that is a restricted area of our sect, heavily guarded. Outsiders who enter without permission will be considered hostile toward us. Be careful."
dāng rán ， tā zhè shì wěi wǎn de shuō fǎ 。 dàn zài chǎng dì xiū shì kě méi yǒu shǎ guā ， wú bù xīn zhōng yī lǐn ， yuán lái zhè kàn shì měi lì de yún hǎi shì shā jī biàn bù de zhèn fǎ ， zhòng rén de biǎo qíng dùn shí yán sù le xǔ duō ， lián máng gēn zài lù yǔ shēn hòu ， shēng pà zǒu cuò le yī bù 。
当然，他这是委婉的说法。但在场地修士可没有傻瓜，无不心中一凛，原来这看似美丽的云海是杀机遍布的阵法，众人的表情顿时严肃了许多，连忙跟在陆羽身后，生怕走错了一步。
Lu Yu's expression was gentle, but his voice suddenly became stern at the end, carrying an implicit threat.
zài yún hǎi zhōng zǒu le dà yuē le shí fēn zhōng 。 yǎn qián tū rán yī liàng ， huò rán kāi lǎng ， yī zuò jù dà de xiá gǔ yìng rù yǎn lián ， xiá gǔ de rù kǒu lì zhe yī kuài hòu zhòng de shí bēi 。
在云海中走了大约了十分钟。眼前突然一亮，豁然开朗，一座巨大的峡谷映入眼帘，峡谷的入口立着一块厚重的石碑。
The cultivators naturally nodded in agreement. With their cultivation levels, none would willingly cause trouble here.
shàng miàn yǒu sān gè dà zì “ tiān mù shān ”， jīn guāng shǎn shǎn ， qì shì fēi fán 。
上面有三个大字“天目山”，金光闪闪，气势非凡。
Lin Xuan remained calm and silent, though he couldn't shake off a nagging question: If Tianmu Sect had significant influence and produced rare spirit herbs that no longer existed outside, why were only Spirit Flexibility and Foundation Establishment stage cultivators present? Where were the powerful experts?
“ hē hē ， xiàn zài yǐ jīng jìn rù le bì pài dì nèi shān ， zhè xiá gǔ nèi jiù shì lín shí dā jiàn de fāng shì ， zhū wèi dào yǒu ruò shì xū yào shén me dōng xī 。 kě yǐ zì jǐ jìn qù jiāo huàn 。 gòu mǎi ， ruò shì xiǎng yào lí kāi 。 zhǐ yào chóng xīn lái dào xiá gǔ kǒu ， zì rán huì yǒu běn mén dì zǐ gōng sòng zhū wèi guì kè ， jiāo yì huì gòng shì sān tiān de shí jiān ， fāng shì zhōng yě yǒu kè zhàn ， zhǐ shì qǐng zhū wèi dào yǒu zhù yì yì diǎn ， bú yào suí yì lí kāi xiá gǔ de fàn wéi ， pān pá shàng shān ， nà lǐ shì men běn mén zhòng dì ， jìn zhì chóng chóng ， wài rén mào rán chuǎng rù ， huì bèi shì zuò duì běn mén huái yǒu dí yì ， qiè jì qiè jì 。”
“呵呵，现在已经进入了敝派地内山，这峡谷内就是临时搭建的坊市，诸位道友若是需要什么东西。可以自己进去交换。购买，若是想要离开。只要重新来到峡谷口，自然会有本门弟子恭送诸位贵客，交易会共是三天的时间，坊市中也有客栈，只是请诸位道友注意一点，不要随意离开峡谷的范围，攀爬上山，那里是们本门重地，禁制重重，外人冒然闯入，会被视作对本门怀有敌意，切忌切忌。”
"Brother Lin, what are you thinking?"
nà lù yǔ biǎo qíng cí hé ， rán ér shuō dào zuì hòu liǎng jù ， shēng yīn què tū rán zhuǎn wéi yán lì ， yǐn rán hán yǒu wēi xié zhī yì 。
那陆羽表情慈和，然而说到最后两句，声音却突然转为严厉，隐然含有威胁之意。
Tiao Xiaojian's voice entered his ears. Lin Xuan snapped back to reality and smiled nonchalantly: "I just wonder why there aren't any Condensation Core stage seniors among the outsiders."
zài chǎng de xiū shì zì rán shì nuò nuò yīng shì ， yǐ tā men de xiū wèi ， zì rán méi yǒu shuí yuàn yì lái zhè lǐ rě shì 。
在场的修士自然是诺诺应是，以他们的修为，自然没有谁愿意来这里惹事。
"Haha, how could they be absent? The high-ranking experts have noble statuses and won't come in with us," Tiao Xiaojian suddenly turned his head and exclaimed with a hint of surprise.
lín xuān yě biǎo qíng dàn rán ， mò bù chū shēng ， rán ér xīn zhōng yǒu yī shì què shǐ zhōng bù jiě ， zhè tiān mù pài jì rán shì lì fēi xiǎo ， ér qiě hái shèng chǎn zhū duō wài jiè yǐ jīng jué jì de líng cǎo ， nà me shí nián yī kāi de jiāo yì huì ， yǐng xiǎng yìng gāi hěn dà cái duì ， zěn me dào mù qián wéi zhǐ ， lái de dōu shì yī xiē líng dòng qī yǔ zhù jī qī dì xiū shì ， nà xiē shí lì shēn hòu de gāo shǒu ， jū rán bù gǎn xìng qù ？
林轩也表情淡然，默不出声，然而心中有一事却始终不解，这天目派既然势力非小，而且还盛产诸多外界已经绝迹的灵草，那么十年一开的交易会，影响应该很大才对，怎么到目前为止，来的都是一些灵动期与筑基期地修士，那些实力深厚的高手，居然不感兴趣？
Lin Xuan was taken aback. Following Tiao Xiaojian's gaze, he indeed saw a giant immortal crane flying out from the other side of the cloud sea.
“ lín dà gē ， nǐ zài xiǎng shén me ？”
“林大哥，你在想什么？”
Although it was called an immortal crane, this bird was unusually large—its wingspan exceeded ten meters, and a breeze like a storm blew whenever it moved.
tián xiǎo jiàn de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， lín xuān zhè cái huí guò shén lái ， bù zài yì de xiào dào ：“ wǒ zhǐ shì qí guài ， wèi shén me wài lái de tóng dào zhī zhōng ， bú jiàn níng dān qī de qián bèi ？”
田小剑的声音传入耳朵，林轩这才回过神来，不在意的笑道：“我只是奇怪，为什么外来的同道之中，不见凝丹期的前辈？”
Several figures could be vaguely seen on its back. Although their faces were unfamiliar, each one exuded an imposing aura regardless of gender.
“ hē hē ， zěn huì méi yǒu ， zhǐ bù guò nà xiē gāo shǒu shēn fèn zūn chóng ， bú huì yǔ wǒ děng yī tóng rù shān bà le ， yí ， zhè bú shì lái le ？” tián xiǎo jiàn tū rán jiāng tóu zhuǎn xiàng yī biān ， lüè dài jīng yà dì dī hū qǐ lái 。
“呵呵，怎会没有，只不过那些高手身份尊崇，不会与我等一同入山罢了，咦，这不是来了？”田小剑突然将头转向一边，略带惊讶地低呼起来。
From afar, the immense spiritual pressure could be felt; clearly, these were Golden Core cultivators!
lín xuān yí zhèng ， shùn zhe tā de mù guāng wàng qù ， guǒ rán cóng yún hǎi de lìng yī biān ， fēi chū le yī tóu jù dà de xiān hè lái 。
林轩一怔，顺着他的目光望去，果然从云海的另一边，飞出了一头巨大的仙鹤来。
The other cultivators present couldn't help showing envious and jealous expressions as they watched with Lin Xuan.
shuō shì xiān hè ， rán ér cǐ niǎo què zhe shí dà dé yǒu xiē lí pǔ ， guāng shì yì zhǎn ， jiù dá shí mǐ yǐ shàng ， qīng qīng yī shǎn ， suǒ chuī qǐ de qì liú jiù rú tóng fēng bào yì bān 。
说是仙鹤，然而此鸟却着实大得有些离谱，光是翼展，就达十米以上，轻轻一闪，所吹起的气流就如同风暴一般。
"Neither Righteous nor Evil Factions sent anyone?"
ér tā de bèi shàng ， yǐng yǐng chuò chuò zhàn yǒu shù gè rén yǐng ， suī rán miàn mào dōu hěn mò shēng ， dàn wú lùn nán nǚ ， měi yí gè què dōu qì shì bù fán 。
而它的背上，影影绰绰站有数个人影，虽然面貌都很陌生，但无论男女，每一个却都气势不凡。
Seeing this scene, a hint of mockery flashed across Lin Xuan's face. He wondered if it was to avoid suspicion or for some other sinister reason; the Three Great Powers and the Extreme Evil Den seemed to have agreed not to send any disciples.
yuǎn yuǎn de ， jiù néng gǎn jué dào jù dà de líng yā ， xiǎn rán shì jīn dān dà chéng de xiū zhēn zhě a ！
远远的，就能感觉到巨大的灵压，显然是金丹大成的修真者啊！
While they appeared to choose non-involvement on the surface, perhaps this wasn't necessarily a blessing!
yǔ lín xuān tóng háng dì xiū shì ， liǎn shàng wú bù xiàn chū yòu xiàn yòu dù dì shén sè 。
与林轩同行地修士，脸上无不现出又羡又妒地神色。
The immortal crane didn't linger at the canyon entrance but flew straight into it. In mid-air, there was a floating VIP pavilion, specially prepared for Condensation Core stage and above cultivators.
"Split-Sea Light Array Battle Gained Fame, and even the protective arrays of major forces like the Righteous and Evil Factions fall far short. Hence, it has earned a reputation as the First Wonder Array of Youzhou."
"Mmm."
Lin Xuan nodded, his face showing a thoughtful expression. He hadn't expected the obscure Tianmu Mountain to have such remarkable treasures. It seemed that these ancient sects were no simple matter; they all had some profound heritage.

He believed that if anyone harbored ill intentions at this moment, they would be instantly killed by the array.
