dé dào lín xuān de yǔn kě ， jǐ nǚ liǎn shàng lù chū dà xǐ zhī sè ， zhè cái lián bù qīng yí ， zǒu jìn le lín xuān xiū xī de wò fáng lǐ 。
得到林轩的允可，几女脸上露出大喜之色，这才莲步轻移，走进了林轩休息的卧房里。
With Lin Xuan's permission, the girls' faces lit up with joy. They then moved gracefully into the bedroom where Lin Xuan was resting.
měi rén de shǒu zhōng ， dōu pěng zhe yī tuō pán ， nǎi shì yáng zhī měi yù ’ shàng miàn fàng zhe měi jiǔ guā guǒ ， hái yǒu gè zhǒng jīng zhì de diǎn xīn shí wù 。
每人的手中，都捧着一托盘，乃是羊脂美玉’上面放着美酒瓜果，还有各种精致的点心食物。
Each of them held a tray in their hands, adorned with beautiful jade and holding fine wine, fruits, and various delicacies.
fāng xiāng sì yì ’ lín xuān tūn le 。 tuò mò ， yě bù yóu de shí zhǐ dà dòng le 。
芳香四溢’林轩吞了。唾沫，也不由得食指大动了。
The aroma filled the room as Lin Xuan swallowed his saliva, his appetite whetted.
wū zhōng zì yǒu mù zhuō ， jǐ nǚ jiàng tuō pán zhōng de shí wù fàng zài shàng miàn bǎi hǎo 。
屋中自有木桌，几女将托盘中的食物放在上面摆好。
There was a wooden table in the room. The girls placed the food from the trays on it neatly.
“ xíng le ， shuò men wú xū zài zhè lǐ cì hòu ， kě yǐ tuì xià le 。”
“行了，烁们无需在这里伺候，可以退下了。”
"Alright, you can leave now; we don't need your service."
“ shì ， qián bèi ruò hái yǒu shén me xū yào ， qǐng jǐn guǎn shuō 。”
“是，前辈若还有什么需要，请尽管说。”
"Yes, Senior, if there's anything else you require, please let me know."
zhū nǚ duì zhe lín xuān yíng yíng yī nán ， suí hòu jiù tuì xià qù le 。
诸女对着林轩盈盈一楠，随后就退下去了。
The women bowed gracefully to Lin Xuan and then left.
fáng jiān zhōng zhǐ shèng xià lín xuān yí gè 。
房间中只剩下林轩一个。
The room was left with only Lin Xuan.
tā zì rán bú huì kè qì ， lái dào zhuō yù páng biān ， dà kuài duǒ yí 。
他自然不会客气，来到桌芋旁边，大快朵颐。
He naturally wasn't going to be polite. He walked over to the table and began feasting heartily.
sān tiān de shí jiān hěn kuài guò qù 。
三天的时间很快过去。
Three days passed quickly.
zhè tiān ， lín xuān zhèng zài fáng jiān zhōng dǎ zuò ， tū rán cóng wài miàn fēi lái yī dào chuán yīn fú 。
这天，林轩正在房间中打坐，突然从外面飞来一道传音符。
One day, while Lin Xuan was meditating in his room, a transmission scroll flew from outside.
lín xuān huǎn huǎn zhēng kāi shuāng mù ， jiāng shén shí fàng chū ， zài nà fú zhù shàng sǎo guò ， liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng què shì píng jìng wú bō ’ bù guò lì shì cóng dǎ zuò de pú tuán shàng zhàn qǐ lái le 。
林轩缓缓睁开双目，将神识放出，在那符筑上扫过，脸上的表情却是平静无波’不过例是从打坐的蒲团上站起来了。
Lin Xuan slowly opened his eyes and released his divine sense. He scanned the scroll but remained calm on the surface. However, he stood up from his meditation cushion.
yī zhěng yī guān ’ lín xuān zǒu xiàng le gé lóu wài miàn 。
一整衣冠’林轩走像了阁楼外面。
Dressed neatly, Lin Xuan walked over to the window where a water-like line appeared far off in the distance. He released his divine sense; it was indeed a lake.
yī shú xī de shēn yǐng yìng rù yǎn lián 。
一熟悉的身影映入眼帘。
However, this lake was different from ordinary ones, exuding an oppressive and lifeless atmosphere.
“ hóng xuě gěi qián bèi jiàn lǐ 。，’
“红雪给前辈见礼。，’
"Senior, please look, ahead lies the Thousand Spirit Lake."
yī jiàn lín xuān cóng lǐ miàn chū lái ， gōng zhuāng měi fù jiù yíng yíng bài le xià qù 。
一见林轩从里面出来，宫装美妇就盈盈拜了下去。
"Thousand Spirit Lake?"
“ xiān zi bié lái wú yàng ， rú hé ， fù dào yǒu kě shì yǐ jīng chū guān le ？，’
“仙子别来无恙，如何，付道友可是已经出关了？，’
Lin Xuan frowned. The name sounded good, but why did it give such a contrary feeling? He didn't question her further.
duì fāng jì rán wù huì zì jǐ fēn shén qī lǎo guài wù ’ lín xuān yě bù biàn jiě shén me ， zhè yàng de wù huì duì zì jǐ yǒu hǎo chù ， rú jīn tā de yǔ qì ， yě wán quán shì fēn shén jí bié de 。
对方既然误会自己分神期老怪物’林轩也不辩解什么，这样的误会对自己有好处，如今他的语气，也完全是分神级别的。
If she could speak freely, she would; prying into others' secrets was taboo in the cultivation world. Lin Xuan came to do business with the Fu Family, not to make enemies.
chú le tóng jiē lǎo guài wù ， shuí gǎn rú cǐ dà dà liē liē de chēng hū fù jiā lǎo zǔ ？
除了同阶老怪物，谁敢如此大大咧咧的称呼付家老祖？
With his steady nature, he wouldn't overlook these minor details.
fù hóng xuě dāng rán bú huì yǐ cǐ wèi guài ：“ lǎo zǔ yǐ jīng chū guān le ， qiè shēn lái cǐ ， jiù shì wèi qián bèi yǐn lù 。，’
付红雪当然不会以此为怪：“老祖已经出关了，妾身来此，就是为前辈引路。，’
"Senior, the old ancestor resides on the island at the center of the Thousand Spirit Lake."
“ yǒu láo le 。” lín xuān dàn dàn de shuō 。
“有劳了。”林轩淡淡的说。
As she spoke, she transformed into a streak of light and flew towards it. After half a cup of tea, an island came into view.
“ zhè shì yīng gāi de ， qián bèi qǐng suí wǒ lái 。，’
“这是应该的，前辈请随我来。，’
The island wasn't large, arched in shape, stretching only tens of miles long with its widest point barely seven or eight miles wide.
cǐ nǚ shuō wán ’ yòu xiàng lín xuān xíng le yī lǐ ， suí hòu jiù xiàng qián fāng fēi qù 。
此女说完’又像林轩行了一礼，随后就像前方飞去。
The air was thick with dark energy.
lín xuān dāng rán bú huì chí yí ， hún shēn qīng máng dà qǐ ， jǐn suí zài cǐ nǚ de hòu miàn 。
林轩当然不会迟疑，浑身青芒大起，紧随在此女的后面。
However, there were no striking buildings on the island. Fu Xinhua didn't land but turned her head apologetically. "Senior, according to Fu Family rules, I don't have the qualifications to enter the island, so I can only bring you here."
liǎng rén yī qián yī hòu ， dào yě yù jiàn bù shǎo fù jiā de xiū xiān zhě ， zài zhè lǐ kàn jiàn wài kè ， dà duō liú lù chū chī jīng zhī sè ， bù guò yǒu fù hóng xuě yǐn lù ’ dào yě bú huì yǒu rén lái chá wèn shén me 。
两人一前一后，倒也遇见不少付家的修仙者，在这里看见外客，大多流露出吃惊之色，不过有付红雪引路’倒也不会有人来查问什么。
She bowed gracefully and flew away as a streak of light.
ér zhè bái fú shèng jǐng bǐ xiǎng xiàng de dà dé duō ， yī lù shàng ， liǎng rén bù zhī dào fēi guò le duō shǎo tíng tái lóu gé ， hái yǒu shān fēng hú pō ， yáo xiǎng zài qī xīng dǎo yún hǎi yù jiàn de nà ge shén mì kōng jiān ， yǔ yǎn qián xiāng bǐ ， gēn běn jiù shì xiǎo wū jiàn dà wū 。
而这白浮胜景比想象的大得多，一路上，两人不知道飞过了多少亭台楼阁，还有山峰湖泊，遥想在七星岛云海遇见的那个神秘空间，与眼前相比，根本就是小巫见大巫。
Lin Xuan was left standing there.
ér suí zhe shí jiān de tuī yí ， yī lù shàng yù jiàn de fù jí zǐ dì yě yuè lái yuè shǎo 。
而随着时间的推移，一路上遇见的付集子弟也越来越少。
However, just moments later, an extremely powerful divine sense descended from above, enveloping Lin Xuan.
zuì hòu ， zhōng yú lián yí gè yě jiàn bú dào 。
最后，终于连一个也见不到。
"Trying to test me?"
“ yí ， zhè fēng ……”’
“咦，这风……”’
Lin Xuan's reaction was swift; he wouldn't let the other party see his true strength. On the surface, he remained calm, but in secret, he took a deep breath and released his divine sense fully.
lín xuān tái qǐ tóu lú ， zài jí mù yuǎn tiào zhī chù chū xiàn le yī xiàn shuǐ sè ， jiāng shén shí fàng chū ， nà shì yí gè hú pō 。
林轩抬起头颅，在极目远眺之处出现了一线水色，将神识放出，那是一个湖泊。
Boom!
rán ér yǔ yì bān de hú què yòu bù tóng ， xiǎn de sǐ qì chén chén de 。
然而与一般的湖却又不同，显得死气沉沉的。
The divine sense, though formless, created ripples in mid-air as both parties' divine senses collided fiercely.
jù tǐ de gǎn jué bù hǎo shuō 。
具体的感觉不好说。
A storm of winds swept through!
“ qián bèi qǐng kàn ， qián miàn jiù shì qiān líng hú 。，’
“前辈请看，前面就是千灵湖。，’
Crackling sounds filled Lin Xuan's ears. The once calm lake surface seemed to have been stirred by a hurricane, with waves crashing one after another. The scene was truly formidable.
“ fēng líng hú ？”
“丰灵湖？”
However, this contact was only the beginning.
lín xuān méi tou yí zhòu ， zhè míng zì qǔ dé shì bù cuò ’ rán ér zěn me gěi rén de gǎn jué ， què shì wán quán xiāng fǎn ne ， bù guò lín xuān bìng méi yǒu xiāng wèn 。
林轩眉头一皱，这名字取得是不错’然而怎么给人的感觉，却是完全相反呢，不过林轩并没有相问。
The strength of the other party's divine sense kept increasing.
rú guǒ kě yǐ shuō ， cǐ nǚ zì rán huì kāi 。， jiǎ rú bù kě yǐ ， dǎ tīng bié rén de mì mì ， kě jiù shì xiū xiān jiè de dà jì ， lín xuān shì lái yǔ fù jiā zuò shēng yì ， ér fēi jié chóu dì 。
如果可以说，此女自然会开。，假如不可以，打听别人的秘密，可就是修仙界的大忌，林轩是来与付家做生意，而非结仇地。
Lin Xuan inwardly groaned. Clearly, the intent was to test him. Although the Fu Family old ancestor had heard from his subordinates that Lin Xuan wasn't a real spirit being, he hadn't initiated an attack yet. He wanted to test first before making any moves.
yǐ tā chén wěn de xìng gé ， zhè xiē gāi zhù yì de xiǎo xì jié ， dāng rán bú huì hū lüè 。
以他沉稳的性格，这些该注意的小细节，当然不会忽略。
However, divine senses were hard to fake.
“ qián bèi ， lǎo zǔ zōng jiù zhù zài zhè qiān líng hú de hú xīn dǎo lǐ 。，’
“前辈，老祖宗就住在这千灵湖的湖心岛里。，’
While some cultivation techniques could enhance one's divine sense, and some cultivators naturally had stronger divine senses due to their extraordinary talents, the increase was limited. Could a Profound Daoist match a Spirit Being?
cǐ nǚ yī biān shuō ， yī biān huà wèi yī dào jīng hóng ， fēi le guò qù 。
此女一边说，一边化为一道惊虹，飞了过去。
But was it impossible?
yòu guò le bàn zhǎn chá de gōng fu ’ yī zuò xiǎo dǎo ， yìng rù le yǎn lián 。
又过了半盏茶的功夫’一座小岛，映入了眼帘。
Nothing in this world was absolute. Lin Xuan indeed had a talent for divine senses, but the key factor was the unique Blue Star Sea. During the purification process, the Blue Star Sea provided an indescribable exercise that greatly strengthened his divine sense, making it far superior to those of his peers.
cǐ dǎo bìng bù shèn dà ， chéng hú xíng ， zhǎng bù guò shù shí lǐ ， zuì kuān de dì fāng ， yě jiù qī bā lǐ yǒu yú 。
此岛并不甚大，呈弧形，长不过数十里，最宽的地方，也就七八里有余。
Noticeably, he surpassed many and even reached a cross-grade level, comparable to a Spirit Being.
mó qì shí fēn de nóng yù 。
魔气十分的浓郁。
Of course, this was due to his fortunate circumstances, allowing him to advance from a demon nucleus to the late Profound Dao stage, which naturally increased his divine sense. Strictly speaking, he was already at the late Profound Daoist stage; otherwise, he would still be in the middle stage and unable to match a Spirit Being.
rán ér dǎo yǔ shàng bìng méi yǒu kàn jiàn shén me qiǎng yǎn de jiàn zhù ， fù hóng xuě yě méi yǒu zài jiàng luò ， ér shì zhuǎn guò tóu lú ， liǎn shàng dài zhe qiàn rán zhī sè ：“ qián bèi ， àn zhào fù jiā de guī jǔ ， qiè shēn méi yǒu zī gé jìn rù dǎo yǔ ， suǒ yǐ ， zhǐ néng jiāng nín sòng dào zhè lǐ 。，’
然而岛屿上并没有看见什么抢眼的建筑，付红雪也没有在降落，而是转过头颅，脸上带着歉然之色：“前辈，按照付家的规矩，妾身没有资格进入岛屿，所以，只能将您送到这里。，’
Boom!
suí hòu xiàng lín xuān yíng yíng yī fú ， jiù huà wèi yī dào jīng hóng fēi zǒu 。
随后像林轩盈盈一福，就化为一道惊虹飞走。
The sound of thunder echoed as winds surged. The mere clash of two divine senses gave the impression that two formidable beings were battling fiercely.
yú shì hū ， lín xuān jiù bèi liàng zài le yuán dì 。
于是乎，林轩就被晾在了原地。
From afar, Fu Xinhua turned her head. Despite being over a hundred miles away, she could still hear the rumbling.
rán ér jǐn jǐn guò le piàn huò ， yī dào qiáng dà yǐ jí de shén shí cóng tiān ér luò ， xiàng zhe lín xuān lǒng zhào qù le 。
然而仅仅过了片或，一道强大以极的神识从天而落，向着林轩笼罩去了。
Not only was the dark energy chaotic, but there were also flickering lights in the distance.
“ xiǎng yào shì tàn zì jǐ ？”
“想要试探自己？”
Fu Xinhua gaped in disbelief and pondered. "Could it be that the old ancestor is having a major disagreement with Senior Lin and they're fighting?"
lín xuān fǎn yìng hé děng xùn sù ’ zì rán bú huì ràng duì fāng kàn chū zì sì de xū shí ， biǎo miàn bù dòng shēng sè ， àn dì lǐ ， què shì shēn shēn hū xī ， jiāng shén shí háo wú bǎo liú de fàng le chū qù 。
林轩反应何等迅速’自然不会让对方看出自巳的虚实，表面不动声色，暗地里，却是深深呼吸，将神识毫无保留的放了出去。
If so, as a member of the Fu Family, she couldn't stay out of it. However, her grandfather had instructed her not to approach the Thousand Spirit Lake for two days regardless of what happened. She dared not cross the line and could only wonder.
hōng ！
轰！
After a long while, she sighed and flew away.
shén shí yuán běn shì yǒu zhì wú xíng zhī wù ， rán ér liǎng rén de shén shí dōu tài qiáng le ， què zài bàn kōng zhōng dài qǐ diǎn diǎn lián yī ， suí hòu hěn hěn de zhuàng zài yì qǐ 。
神识原本是有质无形之物，然而两人的神识都太强了，却在半空中带起点点涟漪，随后狠狠的撞在一起。
Meanwhile, in the sky above the island, Lin Xuan's cold voice echoed: "Fu Daoist, what is your intention? Do you think I can be easily bullied or want to keep me here? This place might be under the Fu Family's control, but I'm not someone you can manipulate. If you try to harm me, beware of a lose-lose situation."
lǐ fēng sì qǐ ！
里风四起！
Lin Xuan turned his head to the left, clearly having seen through their actions.
pī lǐ pā lā de bào liè shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yuán běn hái suàn píng jìng de hǎi miàn fǎng fú fǔ qǐ le jù fēng ， qǐng kè jiān ， è làng jiē lián ér lái ， yī bō lián zhe yī bō ， nà shēng shì dàng zhēn shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。
噼里啪啦的爆裂声传入耳朵，原本还算平静的海面仿佛甫起了飓风，顷刻间，恶浪接连而来，一波连着一波，那声势当真是非同小可。
"Haha, Daoist Lin, you're joking. My move was just for fun and had no malicious intent," Lin Xuan's voice echoed as laughter followed. A white-bearded old man appeared about a hundred feet away.
rán ér ， zhè jiē chù ， jǐn jǐn shì kāi shǐ 。
然而，这接触，仅仅是开始。
He looked friendly with a gentle smile but his long hair and beard covered most of his face.
jiē xià lái ， duì fāng shén shí de qiáng dù ， hái zài bù tíng de zēng jiā zhe 。
接下来，对方神识的强度，还在不停的增加着。
"You are the Fu Family's old ancestor."
lín xuān xīn zhōng àn àn jiào kǔ ， duì fāng zhè me zuò ’ bǎi fēn zhī bǎi shì cún le shì tàn de yì tú ， nà fù jiā de lǎo guài wù ， suī rán tīng le xià miàn zhī rén de bǐng shé ， què méi yǒu qǐ háng gēng xīn zǔ yōu líng yīn cǐ xiān rù wéi zhǔ ’ rèn dìng zì sì shì yě shì fēn shén jí bié de gǔ mó ， ér shì xiǎng yào xiān shì tàn yī bō zài shuō 。
林轩心中暗暗叫苦，对方这么做’百分之百是存了试探的意图，那付家的老怪物，虽然听了下面之人的禀舌，却没有启航更新组幽灵因此先入为主’认定自巳是也是分神级别的古魔，而是想要先试探一波在说。
"Indeed, I am. Fu Ya Zhou pays respects to Daoist friend," The old man, who had just attacked, now seemed very courteous.
ér shén shí kě shì hěn nán zuò jiǎ de ，
而神识可是很难作假的，
"Do you want to test my cultivation level? If I'm not a Spirit Being, should I have already perished by now?" Lin Xuan spoke bluntly, still angry in his tone.
suī rán yǒu yī xiē gōng fǎ ， néng gòu zēng jiā shén shí qiáng dù ， suī rán yǒu yī xiē xiū xiān zhě ， yīn wèi tiān fù yì bǐng de yuán gù ， tiān shēng jiù yào bǐ cháng rén shén shí qiáng dà dé duō ’ rán ér zēng qiáng de bù fèn bì jìng shì yǒu xiàn dù ， dòng xuán bù kě néng pì měi fēn shén qī xiū xiān zhě ？
虽然有一些功法，能够增加神识强度，虽然有一些修仙者，因为天赋异禀的缘故，天生就要比常人神识强大得多’然而增强的部分毕竟是有限度，洞玄不可能媲美分神期修仙者？
It was understandable. Who wouldn't be upset after such an incident?
rán ér zhēn bù kě néng me ？
然而真不可能么？
Fu Family's old ancestor hesitated as Lin Xuan directly revealed his purpose. He couldn't refute it easily and didn't have the room to argue. "Indeed."
zhè shì jiè shàng de shì qíng ， méi yǒu shén me shì jué duì de ， lín xuān zài shén shí fāng miàn què rán yǒu tiān fù ， bù guò zuì guān jiàn de yì diǎn ， hái shì lán sè xīng hǎi ， zhè dú yī wú èr de shén mì bǎo wù ， zài tí chún guò chéng zhōng duì shén shí yǒu nán yǐ yán yù de duàn liàn xiào guǒ ， ràng lín xuān shén shí zhī qiáng ， yuǎn zài tóng jiē xiū shì zhī shàng 。
这世界上的事情，没有什么是绝对的，林轩在神识方面确然有天赋，不过最关键的一点，还是蓝色星海，这独一无二的神秘宝物，在提纯过程中对神识有难以言喻的锻炼效果，让林轩神识之强，远在同阶修士之上。
The Fu Family intended to use this ruse if Lin Xuan were just a fraud, not a Spirit Being, to eliminate him under the guise of playing with the Fu Family.
zhù yì ， shì yuǎn chāo xǔ duō ， shèn zhì dào le kuà jiē ， pì měi fēn shén de dì bù 。
注意，是远超许多，甚至到了跨阶，媲美分神的地步。
This way, they could reclaim the three spirit scrolls they had lent out, as it was a loan. Thus, there was no need to worry about damaging their reputation.
dāng rán ， zhè yě shì yīn wèi lín xuān jī yuán qiǎo hé ， ràng yāo dān jìn jiē dào dòng xuán hòu qī de yuán gù ， lián dài zhe ràng shén shí yě zēng jiā le xǔ duō ’ yán gé lái shuō ， tā yǐ shì dòng xuán hòu qī de xiū xiān zhě ’ fǒu zé hái tíng liú zài zhōng qī de huà ， wú lùn rú hé ’ nà yě shì méi yǒu bàn fǎ pì měi fēn shén de 。
当然，这也是因为林轩机缘巧合，让妖丹进阶到洞玄后期的缘故，连带着让神识也增加了许多’严格来说，他已是洞玄后期的修仙者’否则还停留在中期的话，无论如何’那也是没有办法媲美分神的。
Unfortunately, things didn't go according to plan. The other party was indeed a Spirit Being, so he had to put aside his thoughts.
hōng ！
轰！
However, something puzzled Fu Family's old ancestor. Lin Xuan's divine sense was truly at the Spirit Being level, leaving no room for deception. Why did it still maintain the pressure of a Profound Daoist?
rú tóng mèn léi zhà xiǎng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yī dào dào lǐ fēng sì shè ， jǐn jǐn shì liǎng gè shén shí de duì pèng ， gěi rén de gǎn jué què fǎng fú shì yǒu liǎng gè kě pà de cún zài zhèng zài dà zhàn shì de 。
如同闷雷炸响的声音传入耳朵，一道道里风四射，仅仅是两个神识的对碰，给人的感觉却仿佛是有两个可怕的存在正在大战似的。
The old monster's eyes flashed with curiosity as he pondered.
yuǎn chù ， fù hóng xuě huí guò tóu lú ， jǐn guǎn tā yǐ jīng lí kāi le bǎi yú lǐ ， nà mèn xiǎng shēng què yī jiù kě yǐ chuán dào zhè lǐ 。
远处，付红雪回过头颅，尽管她已经离开了百余里，那闷响声却依旧可以传到这里。
Despite this honesty, Lin Xuan couldn't continue questioning further. After all, in the cultivation world, survival was key, and what the other party had done wasn't entirely wrong.
bù jǐn mó qì hùn luàn yǐ jí ， tiān biān hái yǒu hū míng hū àn de liàng guāng shǎn shuò bù yǐ 。
不仅魔气混乱以极，天边还有忽明忽暗的亮光闪烁不已。
"Did you find anything out, Daoist Fu?" Lin Xuan's voice carried a hint of sarcasm. He used this as a retreat to dispel any doubts from the old monster; otherwise, he would still be in danger.
cǐ nǚ bù yóu de dèng mù jié shé ， xīn zhōng gèng shì chōng mǎn le yí huò ：“ nán dào lǎo zǔ yǔ nà lái lì bù hé de lín qián bèi yī yán bù hé ， zhèng zài dà dǎ chū shǒu ？，’
此女不由得瞪目结舌，心中更是充满了疑惑：“难道老祖与那来历不合的林前辈一言不合，正在大打出手？，’
Lin Xuan was known for his deep scheming, but this time, the other party took the opportunity: "Indeed, I did find something out and want to ask your advice."
ruò shì rú cǐ ， shēn wèi fù jiā zǐ dì ， dāng rán bù kě néng zhì shēn shì wài dì ， rán ér lái zhī qián lǎo zǔ yǐ jīng fēn fù ， bù guǎn fā shēng rèn hé shì ， zhè liǎng tiān dōu bù zhǔn jiē jìn qiān líng hú ， fǒu zé zú guī lùn chǔ ， tā zì rán bù gǎn yuè léi chí yī bù ， zhǐ néng zài xīn zhōng nà mèn le 。
若是如此，身为付家子弟，当然不可能置身事外地，然而来之前老祖已经吩咐，不管发生任何事，这两天都不准接近千灵湖，否则族规论处，她自然不敢越雷池一步，只能在心中纳闷了。
"Really?"
liáng jiǔ ， cǐ nǚ tàn le kǒu qì ， zhuǎn shēn xiàng yuǎn chù fēi qù 。
良久，此女叹了口气，转身像远处飞去。
Lin Xuan's heart skipped a beat, but on the surface, he remained calm. He wouldn't let any hint of weakness show.
ér cǐ shí cǐ zài ， zài nà hú xīn dǎo de shàng kōng ， lín xuān lěng lěng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ：“ fù dào yǒu zhè shì hé yì ， mò fēi rèn wéi lín mǒu hǎo qī ， hái shì xiǎng yào jiāng wǒ liú zài cǐ dì ， zhè ér suī shì fù jiā de dì pán ， dàn lín mǒu yě bú shì rèn nǐ ná niē dì ’ xiǎng duì fù wǒ ， xiǎo xīn yú sǐ wǎng pò 。，’
而此时此载，在那湖心岛的上空，林轩冷冷的声音传入耳朵：“付道友这是何意，莫非认为林某好欺，还是想要将我留在此地，这儿虽是付家的地盘，但林某也不是任你拿捏地’想对付我，小心鱼死网破。，’
"What did you discover?" Lin Xuan's cold voice echoed as he maintained his composure.
lín xuān yī biān shuō ， yī biān xiàng zuǒ cè zhuǎn guò tóu lú ， xiǎn rán ， yǐ jīng jiāng duì fāng de xíng jì kàn pò 。
林轩一边说，一边像左侧转过头颅，显然，已经将对方的行迹看破。
Postscript: The previous chapter should have been Chapter 2079, but I mistakenly wrote the wrong number. However, the content is correct and doesn't affect reading.
"Yes!"
With Lin Xuan's permission, the girls' faces lit up with joy. They then moved gracefully into the bedroom where Lin Xuan was resting.
Each of them held a tray in their hands, adorned with beautiful jade and holding fine wine, fruits, and various delicacies.
The aroma filled the room as Lin Xuan swallowed his saliva, his appetite whetted.
There was a wooden table in the room. The girls placed the food from the trays on it neatly.
"Alright, you can leave now; we don't need your service."
"Yes, Senior, if there's anything else you require, please let me know."
The women bowed gracefully to Lin Xuan and then left.
The room was left with only Lin Xuan.
He naturally wasn't going to be polite. He walked over to the table and began feasting heartily.
Three days passed quickly.
One day, while Lin Xuan was meditating in his room, a transmission scroll flew from outside.
Lin Xuan slowly opened his eyes and released his divine sense. He scanned the scroll but remained calm on the surface. However, he stood up from his meditation cushion.
Dressed neatly, Lin Xuan walked over to the window where a water-like line appeared far off in the distance. He released his divine sense; it was indeed a lake.
However, this lake was different from ordinary ones, exuding an oppressive and lifeless atmosphere.
"Senior, please look, ahead lies the Thousand Spirit Lake."
"Thousand Spirit Lake?"
Lin Xuan frowned. The name sounded good, but why did it give such a contrary feeling? He didn't question her further.
If she could speak freely, she would; prying into others' secrets was taboo in the cultivation world. Lin Xuan came to do business with the Fu Family, not to make enemies.
With his steady nature, he wouldn't overlook these minor details.
"Senior, the old ancestor resides on the island at the center of the Thousand Spirit Lake."
As she spoke, she transformed into a streak of light and flew towards it. After half a cup of tea, an island came into view.
The island wasn't large, arched in shape, stretching only tens of miles long with its widest point barely seven or eight miles wide.
The air was thick with dark energy.
However, there were no striking buildings on the island. Fu Xinhua didn't land but turned her head apologetically. "Senior, according to Fu Family rules, I don't have the qualifications to enter the island, so I can only bring you here."
She bowed gracefully and flew away as a streak of light.
Lin Xuan was left standing there.
However, just moments later, an extremely powerful divine sense descended from above, enveloping Lin Xuan.
"Trying to test me?"
Lin Xuan's reaction was swift; he wouldn't let the other party see his true strength. On the surface, he remained calm, but in secret, he took a deep breath and released his divine sense fully.
Boom!
The divine sense, though formless, created ripples in mid-air as both parties' divine senses collided fiercely.
A storm of winds swept through!
Crackling sounds filled Lin Xuan's ears. The once calm lake surface seemed to have been stirred by a hurricane, with waves crashing one after another. The scene was truly formidable.
However, this contact was only the beginning.
The strength of the other party's divine sense kept increasing.
Lin Xuan inwardly groaned. Clearly, the intent was to test him. Although the Fu Family old ancestor had heard from his subordinates that Lin Xuan wasn't a real spirit being, he hadn't initiated an attack yet. He wanted to test first before making any moves.
However, divine senses were hard to fake.
While some cultivation techniques could enhance one's divine sense, and some cultivators naturally had stronger divine senses due to their extraordinary talents, the increase was limited. Could a Profound Daoist match a Spirit Being?
But was it impossible?
Nothing in this world was absolute. Lin Xuan indeed had a talent for divine senses, but the key factor was the unique Blue Star Sea. During the purification process, the Blue Star Sea provided an indescribable exercise that greatly strengthened his divine sense, making it far superior to those of his peers.
Noticeably, he surpassed many and even reached a cross-grade level, comparable to a Spirit Being.
Of course, this was due to his fortunate circumstances, allowing him to advance from a demon nucleus to the late Profound Dao stage, which naturally increased his divine sense. Strictly speaking, he was already at the late Profound Daoist stage; otherwise, he would still be in the middle stage and unable to match a Spirit Being.
Boom!
The sound of thunder echoed as winds surged. The mere clash of two divine senses gave the impression that two formidable beings were battling fiercely.
From afar, Fu Xinhua turned her head. Despite being over a hundred miles away, she could still hear the rumbling.
Not only was the dark energy chaotic, but there were also flickering lights in the distance.
Fu Xinhua gaped in disbelief and pondered. "Could it be that the old ancestor is having a major disagreement with Senior Lin and they're fighting?"
If so, as a member of the Fu Family, she couldn't stay out of it. However, her grandfather had instructed her not to approach the Thousand Spirit Lake for two days regardless of what happened. She dared not cross the line and could only wonder.
After a long while, she sighed and flew away.
Meanwhile, in the sky above the island, Lin Xuan's cold voice echoed: "Fu Daoist, what is your intention? Do you think I can be easily bullied or want to keep me here? This place might be under the Fu Family's control, but I'm not someone you can manipulate. If you try to harm me, beware of a lose-lose situation."
Lin Xuan turned his head to the left, clearly having seen through their actions.
"Haha, Daoist Lin, you're joking. My move was just for fun and had no malicious intent," Lin Xuan's voice echoed as laughter followed. A white-bearded old man appeared about a hundred feet away.
He looked friendly with a gentle smile but his long hair and beard covered most of his face.
"You are the Fu Family's old ancestor."
"Indeed, I am. Fu Ya Zhou pays respects to Daoist friend," The old man, who had just attacked, now seemed very courteous.
"Do you want to test my cultivation level? If I'm not a Spirit Being, should I have already perished by now?" Lin Xuan spoke bluntly, still angry in his tone.
It was understandable. Who wouldn't be upset after such an incident?
Fu Family's old ancestor hesitated as Lin Xuan directly revealed his purpose. He couldn't refute it easily and didn't have the room to argue. "Indeed."
The Fu Family intended to use this ruse if Lin Xuan were just a fraud, not a Spirit Being, to eliminate him under the guise of playing with the Fu Family.
This way, they could reclaim the three spirit scrolls they had lent out, as it was a loan. Thus, there was no need to worry about damaging their reputation.
Unfortunately, things didn't go according to plan. The other party was indeed a Spirit Being, so he had to put aside his thoughts.
However, something puzzled Fu Family's old ancestor. Lin Xuan's divine sense was truly at the Spirit Being level, leaving no room for deception. Why did it still maintain the pressure of a Profound Daoist?
The old monster's eyes flashed with curiosity as he pondered.
Despite this honesty, Lin Xuan couldn't continue questioning further. After all, in the cultivation world, survival was key, and what the other party had done wasn't entirely wrong.
"Did you find anything out, Daoist Fu?" Lin Xuan's voice carried a hint of sarcasm. He used this as a retreat to dispel any doubts from the old monster; otherwise, he would still be in danger.
Lin Xuan was known for his deep scheming, but this time, the other party took the opportunity: "Indeed, I did find something out and want to ask your advice."
"Really?"
Lin Xuan's heart skipped a beat, but on the surface, he remained calm. He wouldn't let any hint of weakness show.
"What did you discover?" Lin Xuan's cold voice echoed as he maintained his composure.
