站在中间的少年，身穿一身黝黑色的魔袍，旁边两人衣服的颜色，又自不同，分为青蓝二色。随
The young man standing in the middle wore a dark black magic robe. The colors of the clothes on both sides were different, divided into two shades: one was light blue and the other was dark blue.
lín xuān tóng kǒng wēi suō ， nán dào zhè shì chuán shuō zhōng hè hè yǒu míng de “ yī qì huà sān qīng ” shén tōng ？
林轩瞳孔微缩，难道这是传说中赫赫有名的“一气化三清”神通？
Lin Xuan's pupils constricted slightly. Could this be the famous "One Breath into Three Clarity" divine technique?
nǎo hǎi niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， páng biān tián xiǎo jiàn yǐ hài rán kāi kǒu ， ér tā de pàn duàn yǔ zì jǐ xiāng tóng 。
脑海念头转过，旁边田小剑已骇然开口，而他的判断与自己相同。
Before his thoughts could fully form, Tiao Xiaojian spoke up in shock. His judgment matched Lin Xuan’s.
“ bú duì ， bú shì yī qì huà sān qīng shén tōng 。”
“不对，不是一气化三清神通。”
“Wrong, it is not the One Breath into Three Clarity divine technique.”
lín xuān què yáo le yáo tóu 。
林轩却摇了摇头。
Lin Xuan shook his head.
“ dà gē ， hé yǐ jiàn dé ？”
“大哥，何以见得？”
"Brother, how can you say that?"
tián xiǎo jiàn jiào dé nà jiào yí gè qīn rè ， lián yī páng de tiān yuán shèng zǔ ， yě huí guò le tóu ， tā méi yǒu tīng shuō guò zhè zhǒng mó gōng 。
田小剑叫得那叫一个亲热，连一旁的天元圣祖，也回过了头，他没有听说过这种魔功。
Tiao Xiaojian called him by a nickname, showing he was very close to him. Even Tianyuan Saint Ancestor turned around, as he had never heard of such a magic art before.
“ shǒu xiān ， yī qì huà sān qīng nǎi shì dào jiā zhì gāo wú shàng de dì yī xuán gōng ， yǎn qián zhè jiā huo nǎi shì gǔ mó ， yǔ dào mén shuǐ huǒ bù róng ， zěn me kě néng xiū liàn nà chuán shuō zhōng de shén gōng ？”
“首先，一气化三清乃是道家至高无上的第一玄功，眼前这家伙乃是古魔，与道门水火不容，怎么可能修炼那传说中的神功？”
"Firstly, the One Breath into Three Clarity is the supreme and most profound divine technique in Taoism. This guy here is an ancient demon; he’s incompatible with the Daoist sects. How could he possibly practice this legendary divine technique?"
lín xuān jiǎng dào zhè lǐ ， yàn le yī kǒu tuò mò ， cái jì xù wǎng xià shuō ：“ hé kuàng ， yī qì huà sān qīng ， lín mǒu suī rán méi yǒu liàn guò ， dàn diǎn jí shàng què duō yǒu jì zǎi ， jù shuō ， zhè zhǒng shén tōng zuì wèi xuán miào zhī chù ， shì néng gòu wú zhōng shēng yǒu ， jiāng yí gè rén huà wèi sān gè ， ér qiě duō chū lái de liǎng gè ， jué bú shì pǔ tōng shēn wài huà shēn kě yǐ xiāng bǐ ， měi yí gè ， dōu yōng yǒu kān bǐ běn tǐ de shén tōng yǔ fǎ lì ， xiāng dāng yú jiāng yuán běn de zhàn lì ， yìng shēng shēng zēng jiā le liǎng bèi ， bù ， hái yào gèng lì hài yī xiē ， yīn wèi sān gè huà shēn zhī jiān ， hái yǒu pèi hé 。”
林轩讲到这里，咽了一口唾沫，才继续往下说：“何况，一气化三清，林某虽然没有练过，但典籍上却多有记载，据说，这种神通最为玄妙之处，是能够无中生有，将一个人化为三个，而且多出来的两个，绝不是普通身外化身可以相比，每一个，都拥有堪比本体的神通与法力，相当于将原本的战力，硬生生增加了两倍，不，还要更厉害一些，因为三个化身之间，还有配合。”
Lin Xuan swallowed hard before continuing: "Moreover, although I have never practiced it myself, there are many records of this divine technique in the classics. It's said that its most mysterious aspect lies in creating something out of nothing, turning one person into three. Each additional body is not just a simple external manifestation; every one of them possesses power and abilities comparable to their original form. In other words, it doubles the combat strength, no, even more than that because the three bodies can coordinate with each other."
tián xiǎo jiàn yǔ tiān yuán shèng zǔ diǎn le diǎn tóu ， tā men liǎng gè ， zì rán bú shì gū lòu guǎ wén de jiā huo ， zhè yī qì huà sān qīng de xuán miào zhī chù ， huò duō huò shǎo ， dōu tīng shuō guò 。
田小剑与天元圣祖点了点头，他们两个，自然不是孤陋寡闻的家伙，这一气化三清的玄妙之处，或多或少，都听说过。
Tiao Xiaojian and Tianyuan Saint Ancestor nodded in agreement. They were not ignorant about such matters, having heard of the One Breath into Three Clarity's intricacies.
lín xuān àn àn tàn le kǒu qì ， tā xiàn zài dōu xiǎng bù tōng ， míng míng shì yí gè rén ， zěn me kě néng píng kōng huà shēn sān gè ， ér qiě měi yí gè de fǎ lì ， yǔ běn tǐ xiāng bǐ ， dōu shì fēn háo bù chā de ， zhè jiǎn zhí yǒu wéi cháng lǐ ……” bù ， zhèng què de shuō ， shì yǔ tiān dì fǎ zé dōu xiāng chōng tū dì 。
林轩暗暗叹了口气，他现在都想不通，明明是一个人，怎么可能凭空化身三个，而且每一个的法力，与本体相比，都是分毫不差的，这简直有违常理……”不，正确的说，是与天地法则都相冲突地。
Lin Xuan sighed inwardly. He couldn't figure out how one person could transform into three at will, especially when each had power equal to their original form—this was simply illogical… or rather, it contradicted the laws of nature.
rán ér tā suī rán bù jiě ， kě zhòng duō de gǔ jí ， què shì yán zhī záo záo ， zhè jué bú shì yǐ é chuán é ， gèng bú shì shén me huāng dàn bù jīng de chuán shuō 。
然而他虽然不解，可众多的古籍，却是言之凿凿，这绝不是以讹传讹，更不是什么荒诞不经的传说。
Though he didn’t understand, many ancient texts were clear about this fact; it wasn’t a case of mistaken information or absurd legends. It was indeed real in the cultivation world, but his current strength couldn't fathom such power. This was not strange at all—Lin Xuan, though now at the Spirit Refinement Stage, still had a long way to go compared to the Scarlet Lightning Tribulation. If he could understand the profound essence of the first divine technique of Taoism, that would be truly remarkable.
ér shì zài xiū xiān jiè què yǒu qí shì ， zhǐ bù guò tā xiàn zài de shí lì ， hái wú fǎ chuǎi mó ， zhè yě méi yǒu shén me qí guài de ， lín xuān rú jīn suī shì fēn shén qī ， dàn yǔ xiá jié xiāng bǐ ， yī jiù shì tiān chā dì yuǎn ， yǐ tā rú jīn de xiū wèi jiàn shí ， rú guǒ néng gòu cān wù dào jiā dì yī xuán gōng de shén miào zhī chù ， nà cái shì tài qí guài le 。
而是在修仙界确有其事，只不过他现在的实力，还无法揣摩，这也没有什么奇怪的，林轩如今虽是分神期，但与霞劫相比，依旧是天差地远，以他如今的修为见识，如果能够参悟道家第一玄功的神妙之处，那才是太奇怪了。
"Look, although this guy transforms into three, his power is clearly weaker than the original form." Lin Xuan's calm voice echoed in their ears. Even in such perilous moments, his insight was meticulous.
“ nǐ men kàn ， biǎo miàn shàng ， zhè jiā huo suī rán yī huà wèi sān ， kě yǔ gāng gāng de běn tǐ xiāng bǐ ， zhè sān dà huà shēn de shí lì dōu míng xiǎn ruò le yī xiē 。” lín xuān lěng jìng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， jí biàn shì zài zhè wēi jī shí kè ， tā de dòng chá lì ， yī jiù shì xì zhì rù wēi dì 。
“你们看，表面上，这家伙虽然一化为三，可与刚刚的本体相比，这三大化身的实力都明显弱了一些。”林轩冷静的声音传入耳朵，即便是在这危机时刻，他的洞察力，依旧是细致入微地。
In short, he was bold and cautious. With such keen observation even against formidable foes, it was clear that his advantage lay in this moment.
jiǎn dān de shuō ， jiù shì dǎn dà xīn xì ， ér miàn duì qiáng dí ， yī jiù yǒu zhè yàng de dòng chá lì ， hǎo chù nà shì bù yán ér yù 。
简单的说，就是胆大心细，而面对强敌，依旧有这样的洞察力，好处那是不言而喻。
"Little Lin, your eyes are really sharp. But what difference does it make? I won't use the One Breath into Three Clarity technique. These three bodies will easily handle you two."
“ lín xiǎo zi ， nǐ de yǎn guāng hái zhēn bù cuò ， bù guò fā xiàn le yòu rú hé ， běn zūn què shì bú huì yī qì huà sān qīng zhī mì shù ， bù guò zhè sān dà huà shēn ná xià nǐ men yǐ shì chuò chuò yǒu yú le 。”
“林小子，你的眼光还真不错，不过发现了又如何，本尊却是不会一气化三清之秘术，不过这三大化身拿下你们已是绰绰有余了。”
The young man in the black robe sneered. Before they could finish their conversation, he darted forward and lunged at Tianyuan Saint Ancestor. The other two bodies didn’t idle either; they too transformed into streaks of different colors and headed towards Lin Xuan and Tiao Xiaojian.
nà shēn chuān hēi páo de shào nián zuǐ jiǎo biān lù chū yī sī jī cháo zhī sè ， huà yīn wèi luò ， shēn xíng yī shǎn ， yǐ cháo zhe tiān yuán shèng zǔ pū le guò lái ， ér lìng wài liǎng dà huà shēn yě méi yǒu xián zhe ， tóng yàng shì jiān tóu wēi dǒu ， jiù huà wèi bù tóng yán sè de jīng hóng ， tā men de mù biāo ， zì rán shì lín xuān yǔ tián xiǎo jiàn 。
那身穿黑袍的少年嘴角边露出一丝讥嘲之色，话音未落，身形一闪，已朝着天元圣祖扑了过来，而另外两大化身也没有闲着，同样是肩头微抖，就化为不同颜色的惊虹，他们的目标，自然是林轩与田小剑。
At this moment, all three felt a sense of absurdity. Without the mysterious young demon, their battle would have been much more chaotic.
yī shí jiān ， sān rén xīn zhōng ， dōu fú xiàn chū yī sī huāng miù zhī gǎn ， rú guǒ méi yǒu zhè shén mì de gǔ mó shào nián jiǎo jú ， tā men sān gè ， kǒng pà jiù huì xiān dǎ gè yī tā hú tú 。
一时间，三人心中，都浮现出一丝荒谬之感，如果没有这神秘的古魔少年搅局，他们三个，恐怕就会先打个一塌糊涂。
However, fate had brought them together by coincidence, linking their fates. The world was full of such coincidences.
rán ér cǐ kè ， jī yuán qiǎo hé ， què mò míng qí miào de lián qǐ shǒu lái le ， shì shì xuán miào ， hái yǒu guò yú cǐ me ？
然而此刻，机缘巧合，却莫名其妙的联起手来了，世事玄妙，还有过于此么？
But now wasn’t the time for contemplation; they needed to resolve this crisis immediately.
bù guò rú jīn ， bú shì gǎn kǎi de shí kè ， dāng wù zhī jí ， yīng gāi shì zěn me huà jiě yǎn qián de wēi jī 。
不过如今，不是感慨的时刻，当务之急，应该是怎么化解眼前的危机。
Lin Xuan’s keen insight was evident as he observed that the three bodies were not equally powerful. The one in the black robe was the strongest and faced Tianyuan Saint Ancestor, indicating that in the mysterious young man's eyes, their threat paled in comparison to the Saint Ancestor's body.
lín xuān de dòng chá lì ， nà bù yòng tí ， tā kàn dé hěn qīng chǔ ， yóu shén mì shào nián běn tǐ suǒ biàn huà chū lái de sān dà huà shēn ， shí lì bìng bù jūn héng ， yǐ zhōng jiān nà shēn chuān hēi páo de shào nián zuì qiáng ， ér tā duì shàng de ， zé shì tiān yuán shèng zǔ ， xiǎn rán zài nà shén mì shào nián de xīn mù zhōng ， zì jǐ yǔ tián xiǎo jiàn de kě pà chéng dù ， yuǎn yuǎn jí bù shàng nà wèi shèng zǔ de huà shēn le 。
林轩的洞察力，那不用提，他看得很清楚，由神秘少年本体所变化出来的三大化身，实力并不均衡，以中间那身穿黑袍的少年最强，而他对上的，则是天元圣祖，显然在那神秘少年的心目中，自己与田小剑的可怕程度，远远及不上那位圣祖的化身了。
This judgment was correct but also provided an opportunity for Lin Xuan and Tiao Xiaojian.
zhè yàng de pàn duàn ， zì rán méi cuò ， bù guò sì hū ， yě jiù gěi zì jǐ yǔ tián xiǎo jiàn tí gōng jī huì le 。
这样的判断，自然没错，不过似乎，也就给自己与田小剑提供机会了。
Lin Xuan’s eyes flashed with a hint of cunning. Whether Tiao Xiaojian noticed this subtlety or not didn’t matter; he had been given a golden opportunity, which he couldn't afford to miss.
lín xuān yǎn zhōng yǒu yì máng shǎn guò ， tián xiǎo jiàn kàn méi yǒu kàn chū zhè zhōng jiān de xuán miào tā bù xiǎo de ， bù guò tiān cì liáng jī jì rán bǎi zài le miàn qián ， nà wú lùn rú hé ， zì jǐ yě jué bù néng cuò guò 。
林轩眼中有异芒闪过，田小剑看没有看出这中间的玄妙他不晓得，不过天赐良机既然摆在了面前，那无论如何，自己也绝不能错过。
His specialty was muddling the waters!
hún shuǐ mō yú ， nǎi shì tā de ná shǒu hǎo xì ！
浑水摸鱼，乃是他的拿手好戏！
Without hesitation, Lin Xuan cast his spell. At that moment, he needed to use decisive action to defeat his enemies.
lín xuān nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， rán ér chū shǒu què shì yì diǎn yě bù màn de 。
林轩脑海中念头转过，然而出手却是一点也不慢的。
With a flick of his sleeves, light flashed, and the Nine Palaces Instant Sword emerged from his sleeve like a fish swimming out. Following this, a clear ringing sound erupted as dozens of flying swords transformed into sword lights several feet long, circling around him uncertainly.
cǐ shí cǐ kè ， yào yòng pī lì shǒu duàn miè dí ， jué bú shì cáng zhuō shì tàn de hǎo shí jī 。
此时此刻，要用霹雳手段灭敌，绝不是藏拙试探的好时机。
Lin Xuan’s spell was far from over; he pointed his left hand at the air and all the sword lights trembled, emitting red light. In an instant, they multiplied ninefold, transforming into hundreds of identical sword lights that swirled and danced, covering almost half the sky with fiery sword energy. Layer upon layer of sword waves surged like waves in a turbulent sea.
xiù páo yī fú ， zhǐ jiàn líng guāng shǎn shuò ， jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn yǐ cóng yī xiù zhōng yú yóu ér chū ， suí hòu qīng míng shēng dà zuò ， nà shù shí kǒu fēi jiàn yǐ huà wèi yī kǒu kǒu chǐ xǔ zhǎng de jiàn guāng ， zài shēn qián pán xuán bù dìng qǐ lái le 。
袖袍一拂，只见灵光闪烁，九宫须臾剑已从衣袖中鱼游而出，随后清鸣声大做，那数十口飞剑已化为一口口尺许长的剑光，在身前盘旋不定起来了。
Tiao Xiaojian and Tianyuan Saint Ancestor were taken aback. They realized their initial assessment of Lin Xuan might have been too low. However, this thought was fleeting as they faced formidable foes and couldn’t afford to be distracted.
ér lín xuān de shī fǎ hái méi yǒu jié shù ， zuǒ shǒu yī zhǐ xiàng bàn kōng zhōng diǎn chū ， suǒ yǒu jiàn guāng yī chàn xià hóng máng dà zuò ， jìng shùn jiān yī huà wèi jiǔ ， biàn huàn chéng shù bǎi dào yì bān wú èr de jiàn guāng ， pán xuán fēi wǔ ， huǒ hóng sè de jiàn qì jī hū zhē bì le xiǎo bàn gè tiān mù ， yī céng yī céng de jiàn làng ， fǎng fú dà hǎi zhōng fān yǒng bù dìng de bō tāo yī yàng 。
而林轩的施法还没有结束，左手一指像半空中点出，所有剑光一颤下红芒大做，竟瞬间一化为九，变幻成数百道一般无二的剑光，盘旋飞舞，火红色的剑气几乎遮蔽了小半个天幕，一层一层的剑浪，仿佛大海中翻涌不定的波涛一样。
Rumbling sounds filled the air as Tiao Xiaojian and Tianyuan Saint Ancestor activated their treasures, engaging in battle with the two other bodies.
tián xiǎo jiàn yǔ tiān yuán shèng zǔ bù yóu de hài rán shī sè ， jiē jué de xiān qián duì lín xuān de píng gū ， sì hū hái yǒu xiē guò dī le ， bù guò zhè ge niàn tou yě jǐn jǐn shì yī shǎn ér guò ， yīn wèi tā men cǐ shí ， tóng yàng miàn duì qiáng dí ， fēn xīn páng ào ， xiǎn rán shì hěn bù zhì dì 。
田小剑与天元圣祖不由得骇然失色，皆觉得先前对林轩的评估，似乎还有些过低了，不过这个念头也仅仅是一闪而过，因为他们此时，同样面对强敌，分心旁骜，显然是很不智地。
Lin Xuan didn't dare neglect his own opponent—the young man in the light blue robe. He no longer sought mere safety; time was pressing.
hōng lōng lóng de bào liè shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， tián xiǎo jiàn yǔ tiān yuán shèng zǔ jì qǐ gè zì de bǎo wù ， yǐ yǔ nà liǎng dà huà shēn zhàn zuò le yī chù 。
轰隆隆的爆裂声传入耳朵，田小剑与天元圣祖祭起各自的宝物，已与那两大化身战做了一处。
The Nine Palaces Instant Sword’s power stunned the youth in the light blue robe, who paused. However, a cold sneer appeared on his lips soon after.
lín xuān zì rán yě bù gǎn qīng hū ， cǐ shí tā miàn duì de huà shēn shì nà shēn chuān qīng páo de shào nián ， lín xuān bù zài bù qiú yǒu gōng dàn qiú wú guò ， rú jīn shí jiān duì tā hěn jǐn pò 。
林轩自然也不敢轻忽，此时他面对的化身是那身穿青袍的少年，林轩不再不求有功但求无过，如今时间对他很紧迫。
No matter how many sword lights there were or how prominent they were, if they couldn’t hit their target, it would be useless.
jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn zhī wēi ， ràng nà qīng páo shào nián yě shì yī è ， shēn xíng tíng xià lái le ， bù guò hěn kuài ， zuǐ jiǎo biān jiù lù chū yī sī lěng cháo zhī sè 。
九宫须臾剑之威，让那青袍少年也是一愕，身形停下来了，不过很快，嘴角边就露出一丝冷嘲之色。
He spun around and turned into demon fog, ignoring the Nine Palaces Instant Sword as he charged forward.
jiàn guāng zài duō ， zài xiǎn hè yòu rú hé ， kǎn bù zhōng yě tóng yàng méi yǒu yòng chǔ 。
剑光再多，再显赫又如何，砍不中也同样没有用处。
Lin Xuan frowned. He raised both hands and cast a spell: "Break!"
tā shēn xíng dī liū liū yī zhuǎn ， zhěng gè rén zài cì huà wèi le mó wù ， suí hòu ， jìng shì jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn wèi wú wù ， jiù zhè yàng chōng guò lái le 。
他身形滴溜溜一转，整个人再次化为了魔雾，随后，竟视九宫须臾剑为无物，就这样冲过来了。
Hundreds of sword lights hummed and transformed into a fiery light halo that surged towards his opponent like a tidal wave.
lín xuān méi tou yí zhòu ， shuāng shǒu tái qǐ ， yī dào fǎ jué dǎ le chū qù ：“ pò ！”
林轩眉头一皱，双手抬起，一道法诀打了出去：“破！”
The momentum was formidable, but the youth in the light blue robe showed no fear. Soon, they collided head-on.
dùn shí ， shù bǎi dào jiàn guāng wēng míng zhī xià ， huà wèi yī piàn huǒ hóng sè de guāng xiá ， rú hǎi cháo nù tāo yì bān ， xiàng zhe duì fāng xí juǎn ér lái 。
顿时，数百道剑光嗡鸣之下，化为一片火红色的光霞，如海潮怒涛一般，向着对方席卷而来。
Piercing sounds filled their ears as Lin Xuan controlled the hundreds of sword lights to bombard the demon fog non-stop.
nà shēng shì dàng zhēn shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， rán ér huà wèi mó wù de qīng páo shào nián jìng rán sī háo wèi jù yě wú ， hěn kuài ， liǎng zhě jiù zhèng miàn xiàng zhuàng le 。
那声势当真是非同小可，然而化为魔雾的青袍少年竟然丝毫畏惧也无，很快，两者就正面相撞了。
In just a few breaths, the demon fog was pierced countless times, yet none of the attacks had any effect. All the attacks seemed to fall on empty air; the demon fog was intangible and formless. No matter how many or sharp the sword lights were, they were like trying to catch water in a net.
sōu sōu ” de pò kōng shēng bù jué yú ěr duǒ ， zài lín xuān shén shí de cāo kòng xià ， nà shù bǎi dào jiàn guāng wéi zhe duì fāng bù bù tíng de cuán shè 。
嗖嗖”的破空声不绝于耳朵，在林轩神识的cāo控下，那数百道剑光围着对方不不停的攒射。
Sword lights rained down, but the demon fog moved as if it were on solid ground, swiftly approaching Lin Xuan within a few feet.
The young man standing in the middle wore a dark black magic robe. The colors of the clothes on both sides were different, divided into two shades: one was light blue and the other was dark blue.
Lin Xuan's pupils constricted slightly. Could this be the famous "One Breath into Three Clarity" divine technique?
Before his thoughts could fully form, Tiao Xiaojian spoke up in shock. His judgment matched Lin Xuan’s.
“Wrong, it is not the One Breath into Three Clarity divine technique.”
Lin Xuan shook his head.
"Brother, how can you say that?"
Tiao Xiaojian called him by a nickname, showing he was very close to him. Even Tianyuan Saint Ancestor turned around, as he had never heard of such a magic art before.
"Firstly, the One Breath into Three Clarity is the supreme and most profound divine technique in Taoism. This guy here is an ancient demon; he’s incompatible with the Daoist sects. How could he possibly practice this legendary divine technique?"
