当年，林轩雄心勃勃，—心想要炼制出最最厉害的本命宝物，这简略版九宫须臾剑的炼制方法，他根本碰都没碰，直接就抛荒到一边去了。說，.Com
Back in the day, Lin Xuan was full of ambition and determination. He had one goal: to forge the most powerfulsoul-bound treasure (soul soul treasure). However, he completely ignored the brief method for refining the Nine Palaces Must-Instant Sword and left it aside.
rú jīn shì yì shí yí ， lín xuān jiàn jiàn yǒu le míng wù ， xiǎng yào liàn zhì zhēn zhèng de “ jiǔ jiàn 。” suī shuō bìng fēi yì diǎn kě néng yě wú ， dàn zhōng jiān suǒ xū yào jīng lì de jiān nán xiǎn zǔ ， què duō dào lìng rén zé shé 。
如今事易时移，林轩渐渐有了明悟，想要炼制真正的“九剑。”虽说并非一点可能也无，但中间所需要经历的艰难险阻，却多到令人咋舌。
Now that time has passed and circumstances have changed, Lin Xuan gradually gained insight. He realized that if he wanted to truly create the "Nine Swords," there was still a significant amount of difficulty involved. While not impossible, the numerous challenges ahead were daunting.
yōng yǒu tài duō de biàn shù ， ér qiě xū yào xiāo hào de shí jiān yě tài jiǔ le 。
拥有太多的变数，而且需要消耗的时间也太久了。
There were too many variables at play, and the process would take an excessively long time. Lin Xuan simply didn't have the energy or resources to undertake such a task. After all, he carried many secrets on his shoulders: Moon's identity, the Blue Star Sea, the Five Dragon Seal, even the Black Moon Sky Witch Technique might bring up some ancient mysteries. Therefore, his immediate priority was to quickly bolster his strength.
lín xuān shí zài méi yǒu jīng lì qù zhè me zuò ， bì jìng duì tā lái shuō ， zì jǐ bēi fù le tài duō de mì mì ， yuè ér de shēn shì ， lán sè xīng hǎi ， wǔ lóng xǐ shèn zhì nà mò yuè tiān wū jué yě yǒu kě néng zhāo rě chū yī xiē shàng gǔ yǐn mì ， suǒ yǐ dāng wù zhī jí ， zì jǐ shì yào jǐn kuài jiā qiáng shí lì 。
林轩实在没有精力去这么做，毕竟对他来说，自己背负了太多的秘密，月儿的身世，蓝色星海，五龙玺甚至那墨月天巫诀也有可能招惹出一些上古隐秘，所以当务之急，自己是要尽快加强实力。
The advancement in his cultivation stage brought him satisfaction, and the relationship between one’s power and their treasures was evident. After experiencing so many hardships, he needed to adjust his goals.
jìng jiè de tí shēng ， ràng tā hěn mǎn yì ， ér shí lì tóng bǎo wù zhī jiān de guān xì ， nà yě shì xiǎn ér yì jiàn dì 。
境界的提升，让他很满意，而实力同宝物之间的关系，那也是显而易见地。
Forging a complete set of Nine Swords was extremely difficult, so Lin Xuan turned his attention toward an easier path.
zài jīng lì le zhè me duō jiān nán bō zhé ， yuán běn de mù biāo yě gāi tiáo zhěng le 。
在经历了这么多艰难波折，原本的目标也该调整了。
However, don't be too elated just yet. The "brief method" referred to here is relative, as the quality of the Nine Palaces Must-Instant Sword was already high. Even with careful material selection and refinement, how easy could it possibly be?
wán zhěng de jiǔ jiàn xiǎng yào liàn zhì ， yǒu tài dà de nán dù ， yú shì lín xuān de mù guāng biàn miáo xiàng le jié jìng yī tú 。
完整的九剑想要炼制，有太大的难度，于是林轩的目光便瞄向了捷径一途。
Lin Xuan knew this well. With a wave of his sleeve, he retrieved an jade pupil carved with the Black Moon Sky Witch Technique, lowered his head, and delved into his spiritual awareness.
rán ér yě bú yào gāo xìng dé tài zǎo le ， suǒ wèi de jiǎn lüè bǎn ， qí shí yě bù guò shì xiāng duì ér yán ， bì jìng jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn de pǐn zhì bǎi zài nà lǐ ， jiù suàn zài zěn me jiǎn shěng ， yòu néng yǒu duō róng yì ？
然而也不要高兴得太早了，所谓的简略版，其实也不过是相对而言，毕竟九宫须臾剑的品质摆在那里，就算再怎么俭省，又能有多容易？
Skipping over the cultivation method part, Lin Xuan's eyes immediately landed on the treasure map. This place held the treasures of the Three-Eyed Ancestor. Although Lin Xuan wasn't entirely clear about the identity of the Three-Eyed Ancestor, the treasures of a great power at the Tribulation Transcending realm were undoubtedly significant.
duì zhè yì diǎn ， lín xuān hái shì xīn lǐ yǒu shù ， zhǐ jiàn tā xiù páo yī fú ， jiāng lòu kè mò yuè tiān wū jué de yù tóng qǔ chū ， dī xià tou lú ， jiāng shén shí chén rù 。
对这一点，林轩还是心里有数，只见他袖袍一拂，将镂刻墨月天巫诀的玉瞳取出，低下头颅，将神识沉入。
Even if he hadn’t obtained the treasure map, now that it was in his hands, ignoring it would be tantamount to inviting divine punishment. Although the Three-Eyed Ancestor had escaped, back then, due to the dire circumstances, he had tasked subordinates with burying the treasures at a general location without precise coordinates. This meant there was a possibility Lin Xuan could uncover them before his former master.
gōng fǎ bù fèn ， lüè guò bù tí ， zhí jiē zhǎo dào liàn zhì jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn de bù fèn ， kāi shǐ cān wù 。
功法部分，略过不提，直接找到炼制九宫须臾剑的部分，开始参悟。
With this thought in mind, Lin Xuan’s face showed a mix of amusement and seriousness. However, quickly turning serious again, he couldn’t afford to be too careless or else someone else might end up with the treasure.
ér zhè yī xì xì yán dú ， shí jiān jiù fǎng fú níng gù ， zú zú guò le xiǎo bàn tiān de gōng fu ， lín xuān cái chóng xīn tái qǐ tóu lú 。
而这一细细研读，时间就仿佛凝固，足足过了小半天的功夫，林轩才重新抬起头颅。
In any case, better safe than sorry. With these thoughts, Lin Xuan gathered all his belongings and left his dwelling. He then removed the array flags around him before vanishing into the sky as a streak of light.
“ hū ！”
“呼！”
The treasures buried by the Three-Eyed Ancestor were located in the Ice Flame Valley. The name itself hinted at its unique terrain. A million years ago, it was part of a primeval paradise within the Demon Realm, with an excellent and extensive spiritual vein stretching for miles.
lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì ， zhè suǒ wèi de jiǎn lüè fāng fǎ ， qí shí bǐ zì jǐ yuán xiān xiǎng xiàng de ， hái yào fù zá ， dāng rán ， xiāng duì yú zhēn zhèng jiǔ jiàn de liàn zhì shǒu duàn ， nà yòu què shí shì jiǎn dān 。
林轩叹了口气，这所谓的简略方法，其实比自己原先想象的，还要复杂，当然，相对于真正九剑的炼制手段，那又确实是简单。
Such a place naturally attracted many powerful sects and families to vie for control. Two prominent forces saw this as their opportunity and clashed fiercely. Initially, they maintained some restraint but eventually fought to the death, forming an unbreakable enmity. Both sides gathered all available manpower and battled on the chosen site, causing the land to be ravaged by flying sand and stones, with the sky changing color.
yī qiè dōu shì xiāng duì ér yán ！
一切都是相对而言！
In the end, both major sects were expelled from the Demon Realm, their fates sealed due to their extraordinary abilities. The once fertile land was transformed into a harsh forbidden zone filled with volcanoes and ice rocks, where ice and fire coexisted. Hence, it became known as the Ice Flame Valley.
zhè jiǎn lüè fāng fǎ dà tǐ de bù zhòu rú xià 。
这简略方法大体的步骤如下。
Apart from ice and fire, the monsters that lived there were exceptionally fierce and combative. There were also numerous other dangers.
shǒu xiān ， zài jiǔ jiàn zhī zhōng ， xuǎn zé rèn yì yī zhǒng shǔ xìng de xiān jiàn ， jiāng qí liàn zhì chū lái ， zuò wéi mǔ jiàn ， zhè ge bù zhòu ， lín xuān yǐ wán chéng de ， tā de huǒ yàn ， zài lái mó jiè zhī qián ， jiù yǐ jīng liàn zhì chéng gōng 。
首先，在九剑之中，选择任意一种属性的仙剑，将其炼制出来，作为母剑，这个步骤，林轩已完成的，他的火焰，在来魔界之前，就已经炼制成功。
Lin Xuan had been in the Demon Realm for a long time and knew of the valley's reputation. He never imagined such a mysterious treasure would be hidden there?
jiē xià lái ， qí yú de bā jiàn ， yòng bù zhe yī yī jì liàn ， zhǐ xū yào jiāng bù tóng shǔ xìng de tiān cái dì bǎo ， jì liàn jìn mǔ jiàn zhī zhōng ， wèi qí zēng tiān xīn de shǔ xìng jiù kě 。
接下来，其余的八剑，用不着一一祭炼，只需要将不同属性的天材地宝，祭炼进母剑之中，为其增添新的属性就可。
At the same time, on some desolate sea in the Demon Realm, a streak of light cut through the sky. The speed was incredible. Within the light was a handsome young man, about twenty years old, dressed in fine robes and jade belt, exuding an air of elegance like a legendary nobleman.
bǐ rú shuō ， yuán běn de shuǐ jiàn ， ruò shì dān dú liàn zhì ， xū yào de gè zhǒng zhēn xī cái liào ， zú zú yǒu shù bǎi zhǒng zhī duō ， ér qiě dà bù fèn ， dōu shì kě yù ér bù kě qiú zhī wù ， jiù xiàng lín xuān shōu jí huǒ jiàn cái liào ， zú zú huā fèi le shù bǎi nián de shí jiān ， ér qiě yòu shì zhǒng zhǒng jī yuán qiǎo hé ， cái zhōng yú còu qí le 。
比如说，原本的水剑，若是单独炼制，需要的各种珍稀材料，足足有数百种之多，而且大部分，都是可遇而不可求之物，就像林轩收集火剑材料，足足花费了数百年的时间，而且又是种种机缘巧合，才终于凑齐了。
However, this rare beauty's brows were furrowed with worry, his expression unutterably troubled.
huā fèi de jīng lì zàn qiě bù tí ， liàn zhì qí tā de fēi jiàn ， lín xuān kě bù gǎn kěn dìng ， jiù yí dìng huì yǒu zhè yàng de yùn qì 。
花费的精力暂且不提，炼制其他的飞剑，林轩可不敢肯定，就一定会有这样的运气。
After a moment of silence, he suddenly spoke: "Uncle, why didn't you tell me about the risks before I advanced? Why did you only inform me after it was too late?"
ér xiàn zài jǐn jǐn shì wèi huǒ jiàn ， zēng jiā shuǐ shǔ xìng ， xiāng duì lái shuō ， jiù yào róng yì xǔ duō ， zhǐ xū yào shōu jí shù shí zhǒng shuǐ shǔ xìng de tiān cái dì bǎo jiù kě yǐ le 。
而现在仅仅是为火剑，增加水属性，相对来说，就要容易许多，只需要收集数十种水属性的天材地宝就可以了。
Tian Xiaojian’s heart was filled with anger. Even with his composure, he couldn’t hide his emotions at this moment; he had been betrayed.
cóng shōu luó cái liào zhè ge céng miàn lái shuō ， róng yì le bù zhī fán jǐ 。
从收罗材料这个层面来说，容易了不知凡几。
"Jiange, are you angry with Uncle?"
dāng rán ， róng hé huì yǒu yí dìng de nán dù ， bì jìng wǔ xíng xiāng shēng xiāng kè ， xiǎng yào jiāng bù tóng shǔ xìng róng hé zài tóng yī zhǒng bǎo wù shàng miàn ， duō shǎo huì chū xiàn xiē xǔ pái chì de ， rú guǒ jǐn jǐn shì liǎng sān zhǒng shǔ xìng hái hǎo 。
当然，融合会有一定的难度，毕竟五行相生相克，想要将不同属性融合在同一种宝物上面，多少会出现些许排斥的，如果仅仅是两三种属性还好。
A flash of light revealed a tall ancient demon emerging from Tian Xiaojian's body, but it wasn't the real ancient demon—it was just an illusion.
rán ér jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn ， gù míng sī yì ， dào zuì hòu yī gòng bāo hán jiǔ zhǒng shǔ xìng zhī duō ， chú le jīn mù shuǐ huǒ tǔ ， hái yǒu wǔ xíng yǎn huà ér chū lái de diàn fēng bīng ， yǐ jí zuì shén mì de huàn shù 。
然而九宫须臾剑，顾名思义，到最后一共包含九种属性之多，除了金木水火土，还有五行衍化而出来的电风冰，以及最神秘的幻术。
Tian Xiaojian remained silent. There were some things that didn’t need to be said explicitly.
kě xiǎng ér zhī ， róng hé dào hòu miàn ， huì yǒu zěn yàng de nán dù ， dàn bù guǎn rú hé ， bǐ qǐ liàn zhì wán quán bǎn de jiǔ jiàn ， què shì yòu róng yì le xǔ duō 。
可想而知，融合到后面，会有怎样的难度，但不管如何，比起炼制完全版的九剑，却是又容易了许多。
The illusion sighed: "Jiange, you’re overthinking this. Now, Uncle and you are in the same boat; we rise or fall together. If you can achieve the transformation and ascend, I will also be able to rebuild my body and regain the glory of the Demon Lord. But if something goes wrong with your cultivation, what benefit would that bring me? Hurting you is like hurting myself."
ér dé zì tiān lán shuāng mó de hēi shuǐ xiū liàn dāo ， jiù kě yǐ zuò wéi tiān jiā shuǐ shǔ xìng bǎo jiàn de cái liào 。
而得自天岚双魔的黑水修炼刀，就可以作为添加水属性宝剑的材料。
Tian Xiaojian’s face softened slightly; this was true.
dāng rán ， cǐ shì bù jí ， bì jìng suǒ yǒu de cái liào ， lín xuān hái méi néng shōu luó wán bì 。
当然，此事不急，毕竟所有的材料，林轩还没能收罗完毕。
"Why didn’t you tell me about the risks before I advanced? Why did you wait until after my success to inform me?" Tian Xiaojian's expression had improved somewhat, but anger still lingered in his voice.
xiù páo yī fú ， hēi shuǐ xiū liàn dāo bèi tā shōu huí dào le yāo jiān ， tóng shí líng guāng yī shǎn ， lìng wài liǎng jiān bǎo wù chū xiàn zài le yǎn lián 。
袖袍一拂，黑水修炼刀被他收回到了腰间，同时灵光一闪，另外两间宝物出现在了眼帘。
It wasn't surprising he was angry. After all, who wouldn’t be upset when they were just celebrating a great victory and suddenly faced a cold bucket of water?
shì liǎng gè mù hé 。
是两个木盒。
Tian Xiaojian was now at the Spirit Formation stage, just like Lin Xuan, having recently completed his advancement.
zhǎng bù guò chǐ xǔ ， yī kàn jiù shì nián shēng jiǔ yuǎn zhī wù ， shì shén me mù tou ， lín xuān què yě bìng bù xiǎo de 。
长不过尺许，一看就是年生久远之物，是什么木头，林轩却也并不晓得。
He had advanced so quickly because the fragment of the former Demon Lord told him there was a method to bypass the bottleneck from Profound Concealment to Separation. Tian Xiaojian was overjoyed, even though this sounded absurd. After all, Uncle was the fragment of the Demon Lord, and although his strength was much weaker, he had the same knowledge as the original. His methods couldn’t be false; with such power comparable to a True Immortal, creating such a miracle wasn't impossible.
qū zhǐ wēi dàn ，“ pā ” de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr biān ， hé gài dǎ kāi ， liǎng zhāng shòu pí mú yàng de dōng xī yìng rù yǎn lián ， shàng miàn jiē huì zhe dì tú ， liǎng fèn hé zài yì qǐ jiù chéng le wán zhěng zhī wù 。
屈指微弹，“啪”的声音传入耳边，盒盖打开，两张兽皮模样的东西映入眼帘，上面皆绘着地图，两份合在一起就成了完整之物。
Moreover, their relationship now was one where they were in it together—rise or fall. Without hesitation, Tian Xiaojian followed Uncle’s instructions and succeeded.
lín xuān de mù guāng ， dùn shí luò dào cáng bǎo tú de shàng miàn le 。
林轩的目光，顿时落到藏宝图的上面了。
Overjoyed, he didn’t expect that just when he was at his happiest, he would be doused with cold water. The advancement wouldn’t hit any bottlenecks but was actually quite easy. However, everything has its pros and cons; this method had significant risks.
zhè lǐ mái cáng de kě shì sān yǎn shèng zǔ de bǎo wù 。
这里埋藏的可是三眼圣祖的宝物。
"What are the risks?" Tian Xiaojian asked urgently.
duì yú sān yǎn shèng zǔ de shēn fèn ， lín xuān suī rán bú shì hěn qīng chǔ ， dàn dù jié qī dà néng de bǎo zàng ， bù lùn cóng nǎ ge jiǎo dù chuǎi mó ， nà dōu kěn dìng shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。
对于三眼圣祖的身份，林轩虽然不是很清楚，但渡劫期大能的宝藏，不论从哪个角度揣摩，那都肯定是非同小可。
"It’s temporary advancement. So now you’re only temporarily at the Spirit Formation stage. Your abilities are no different from a normal advancement, but in ten years, your cultivation will revert to Profound Concealment. Not only that; advancing back to the Spirit Formation stage will be ten times harder than usual."
rú guǒ méi yǒu dé dào cáng bǎo tú yě jiù suàn le ， rú jīn ， jì rán zhè dōng xī luò zài zì jǐ shǒu lǐ ， què bù wén bù wèn jiǎn zhí yīng gāi tiān dǎ léi pī 。
如果没有得到藏宝图也就算了，如今，既然这东西落在自己手里，却不闻不问简直应该天打雷劈。
Tian Xiaojian was stunned. Was this person joking?
suī rán sān yǎn yǐ jīng tuō kùn ， bù guò dāng nián xíng shì wēi jí ， mái cáng bǎo wù ， tā shì fēn fù shǒu xià qù zuò ， duì yú mái cáng zài hé chù ， yě zhǐ shì zhī dào yí gè dà gài de wèi zhì ， zhǔn què fàn wéi ， bìng bù qīng chǔ ， huàn jù huà shuō ， zì jǐ shì dà yǒu kě néng ， bǐ tā xiān wā jué dào suǒ yǐn cáng de bǎo wù 。
虽然三眼已经脱困，不过当年形势危急，埋藏宝物，他是吩咐手下去做，对于埋藏在何处，也只是知道一个大概的位置，准确范围，并不清楚，换句话说，自己是大有可能，比他先挖掘到所隐藏的宝物。
