全文字无广告第两千四百六十五章十大宗门
More than a month later, in a small town far from the Cloud Concealing Sect by thousands of miles.
yuè yú zhī hòu ， zài hé yún yǐn zōng xiāng jù qiān wàn lǐ zhī yuǎn de mǒu zuò xiǎo zhèn 。
月余之后，在和云隐宗相距千万里之远的某座小镇。
Rain was gently falling from the sky. A young herdsman had picked a lotus leaf to use as an umbrella and was urgently driving his cattle back home.
tiān kōng zhōng xià zhe méng méng de xì yǔ 。
天空中下着蒙蒙的细雨。
Suddenly, he showed signs of shock on his face before rubbing his eyes vigorously. But there was nothing in the distance; could it be that his eyes were playing tricks on him?
yí gè fàng niú de mù tóng cǎi le yī piàn hé yè dàng zuò yǔ sǎn ， zhèng gǎn zhe niú jí jí máng máng de zhǔn bèi huí jiā 。
一个放牛的牧童采了一片荷叶当作雨伞，正赶着牛急急忙忙的准备回家。
The herdsman scratched his head, puzzled. Just a moment ago, he had clearly seen a streak of lightning flash across the horizon. How did it vanish so quickly?
tū rán ， tā liǎn shàng lù chū zhèn jīng zhī sè ， suí hòu yòu tái qǐ shǒu lái ， shǐ jìn de róu le róu yǎn ， rán ér tiān biān shén me yě méi yǒu ， nán dào gāng cái shì zì jǐ yǎn huā 。
突然，他脸上露出震惊之色，随后又抬起手来，使劲的揉了揉眼，然而天边什么也没有，难道刚才是自己眼花。
Could this be an opportunity for divine fortune?
mù tóng náo le náo tóu ， mǎn liǎn de mí huò bù jiě ， qián yī kè ， tā míng míng kàn jiàn yǒu yī dào jīng hóng zài tiān biān shǎn xiàn ， kě zěn me yī zhuǎn yǎn jiù huì bú jiàn ？
牧童挠了挠头，满脸的迷惑不解，前一刻，他明明看见有一道惊虹在天边闪现，可怎么一转眼就会不见？
He couldn't help but recall the tales about cultivators circulating in the town.
nán dào shì xiān yuán ？
难道是仙缘？
Rain continued to fall as the herdsman stood there, trying hard to keep his eyes wide open. However, with each passing moment, that streak of lightning failed to reappear in his vision.
mù tóng bù yóu de xiǎng qǐ ， xiǎo zhèn shàng liú chuán de ， guān yú xiū xiān zhě de gù shì lái 。
牧童不由得想起，小镇上流传的，关于修仙者的故事来。
"Perhaps I did see it."
xì yǔ hái zài piāo luò ， mù tóng yě shǎ hū hū de zài yuán dì zhàn zhe ， nǔ lì dèng dà le shuāng yǎn ， kě suí zhe shí jiān yì diǎn yì diǎn de guò qù ， nà jīng hóng què zài yě méi yǒu chū xiàn zài tā de yǎn lǐ 。
细雨还在飘落，牧童也傻乎乎的在原地站着，努力瞪大了双眼，可随着时间一点一点的过去，那惊虹却再也没有出现在他的眼里。
The herdsman sighed and turned back towards home, dejectedly walking away.
“ huò xǔ ， zì jǐ zhēn shì yǎn huā le 。”
“或许，自己真是眼花了。”
...
mù tóng tàn le kǒu qì ， diào zhuǎn niú tóu ， yàng yàng de wǎng huí zǒu 。
牧童叹了口气，调转牛头，怏怏的往回走。
In reality, he hadn't been mistaken. At the other end of the town, a silent location, a streak of lightning descended, its light quickly fading as a young man with an ordinary appearance appeared before his eyes.
……
……
"The entrance to the teleportation array is in a small human town; it's truly ingeniously designed."
qí shí ， tā bìng méi yǒu yǎn huā ， cǐ shí ， zài xiǎo zhèn de lìng yī duān ， jì jìng wú rén de dì diǎn ， yī dào jīng hóng là xià ， dùn guāng shōu liǎn ， xiǎn chū yī róng mào píng fán de shào nián 。
其实，他并没有眼花，此时，在小镇的另一端，寂静无人的地点，一道惊虹落下，遁光收敛，显出一容貌平凡的少年。
Lin Xuan held a jade cylinder in his hand and confirmed he hadn't gone astray. He then walked into the town leisurely.
“ chuán sòng zhèn de rù kǒu ， jū rán bù zhì zài yī fán rén de xiǎo zhèn ， hái zhēn shì bié jù jiàng xīn zài lǐ tou 。”
“传送阵的入口，居然布置在一凡人的小镇，还真是别具匠心在里头。”
The town wasn’t large, nor particularly bustling, but it exuded an air of tranquility. Lin Xuan released his divine sense to encompass several miles around him, yet he found no trace of cultivators.
lín xuān shǒu lǐ ná zhe yí gè yù tóng jiǎn ， què dìng zì jǐ méi yǒu zhǎo cuò ， suí hòu jiù shī shī rán zǒu jìn xiǎo zhèn lǐ le 。
林轩手里拿着一个玉瞳简，确定自己没有找错，随后就施施然走进小镇里了。
However, there was still some收获. While there were no cultivators, the presence of禁制波动 was quite clear.
xiǎo zhèn bìng bù dà ， yě shuō bù shàng fán huá ， rán ér què xiǎn de hěn níng jìng ， lín xuān fàng chū shén shí ， jiāng fāng yuán shù wàn lǐ ， quán dōu náng kuò jìn qù ， què sī háo méi yǒu fā xiàn xiū xiān zhě de zōng jì 。
小镇并不大，也说不上繁华，然而却显得很宁静，林轩放出神识，将方圆数万里，全都囊括进去，却丝毫没有发现修仙者的踪迹。
"Sure enough, the entrance is here."
bù guò yě bìng fēi shōu huò quán wú ， xiū xiān zhě shì méi yǒu ， rán ér jìn zhì bō dòng què shì hěn míng xiǎn de 。
不过也并非收获全无，修仙者是没有，然而禁制波动却是很明显的。
Lin Xuan’s voice echoed as he turned and walked towards the location where he had discovered it.
“ rù kǒu guǒ rán zài cǐ chù 。 quán wén zì wú guǎng gào ”
“入口果然在此处。全文字无广告”
Soon, Lin Xuan arrived at a dilapidated small house with its door tightly shut. There were no markings on the door, making it look extremely ordinary.
lín xuān zì yán zì yǔ de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， diào zhuǎn tóu ， xiàng fā xiàn de dì fāng zǒu guò qù le 。
林轩自言自语的声音传入耳朵，掉转头，像发现的地方走过去了。
Such places rarely attracted visitors, but Lin Xuan pushed his hand against the door.
hěn kuài ， lín xuān lái dào yī pò bài de xiǎo wū qián ， wū zi dà mén jǐn bì ， mén shàng méi yǒu rèn hé biāo jì ， kàn qǐ lái pǔ tōng yǐ jí 。
很快，林轩来到一破败的小屋前，屋子大门紧闭，门上没有任何标记，看起来普通以极。
Surprisingly, there was no resistance as he pushed; ripples appeared on the surface of the wooden door, and Lin Xuan felt like he had dipped his hand into water.
zhè yàng de dì fāng ， hěn shǎo huì yǒu rén guāng gù ， rán ér lín xuān què shēn shǒu xiàng nà dà mén tuī qù le 。
这样的地方，很少会有人光顾，然而林轩却伸手像那大门推去了。
He then stepped inside effortlessly.
qí guài de shì ， lín xuān de shǒu yī tuī ， bìng méi yǒu yù jiàn zǔ gé ， nà mù mén de biǎo miàn ， bō wén zhòu qǐ ， lín xuān fǎng fú shì jiāng shǒu shēn jìn le shuǐ lǐ 。
奇怪的是，林轩的手一推，并没有遇见阻隔，那木门的表面，波纹骤起，林轩仿佛是将手伸进了水里。
It was merely a障眼法 (illusion).
suí hòu tā zhěng gè rén dōu mài rù le jìn qù 。
随后他整个人都迈入了进去。
To Lin Xuan, it wasn’t worth mentioning. It could easily stop ordinary humans or low-rank cultivators from entering. However, there were still several layers of禁制 behind the illusion, making things more complex. But to Lin Xuan, they posed no challenge; he easily passed through.
bù guò yī zhàng yǎn fǎ ér yǐ 。
不过一障眼法而已。
A magnificent palace appeared in his sight.
duì lín xuān lái shuō ， bù zhí yī tí ， bù guò dǎng zhù fán rén yǔ pǔ tōng de dī jiē xiū shì yǐ méi yǒu wèn tí 。
对林轩来说，不值一提，不过挡住凡人与普通的低阶修士已没有问题。
Terraces and pavilions, small bridges over flowing streams—all floated in mid-air. Around the palace,祥云 (auspicious clouds) drifted, creating a breathtaking scene.
ér kǎo yàn bìng méi yǒu zhè me jiǎn dān ， zài zhè céng huàn shù de hòu miàn hái yǒu shù céng jìn zhì ， jiù yào fù zá xǔ duō ， bù guò duì lín xuān lái shuō ， yī jiù shì bù zhí yī tí ， hěn qīng sōng jiù zǒu le guò qù 。
而考验并没有这么简单，在这层幻术的后面还有数层禁制，就要复杂许多，不过对林轩来说，依旧是不值一提，很轻松就走了过去。
As soon as Lin Xuan entered, he felt extremely powerful禁空禁制 (anti-flight restrictions). It was truly formidable; even ordinary cultivators couldn’t fly here, let alone those at the Separation stage.
yī piàn huá lì de gōng diàn chū xiàn zài shì xiàn lǐ 。
一片华丽的宫殿出现在视线里。
In other words, only old monsters at the Spirit Transformation stage could enter this place.
tíng tái lóu gé ， xiǎo qiáo liú shuǐ ， ér zhè suǒ yǒu de yī qiè ， jū rán shì xuán fú zài bàn kōng zhōng de 。
亭台楼阁，小桥流水，而这所有的一切，居然是悬浮在半空中的。
This naturally posed no challenge for Lin Xuan. His entire body radiated a green glow as he effortlessly flew past the anti-flight restrictions.
zài gōng diàn de sì zhōu ， hái yǒu yī duǒ duǒ de xiáng yún piāo fú ， kàn shàng qù měi lì dào jí chù 。
在宫殿的四周，还有一朵朵的祥云漂浮，看上去美丽到极处。
However, before he could land, dozens of streaks of lightning lit up from within the palace and rushed towards him with incredible speed.
ér lín xuān yī jìn rù zhè lǐ ， jiù gǎn jué dào jí qí qiáng dà de jìn kōng jìn zhì ， zhēn de shì biāo hàn yǐ jí ， bié shuō pǔ tōng de xiū xiān zhě ， jiù suàn shì dòng xuán jí bié de ， zài zhè lǐ ， yě bié xiǎng yù qì fēi xíng le 。
而林轩一进入这里，就感觉到极其强大的禁空禁制，真的是彪悍以极，别说普通的修仙者，就算是洞玄级别的，在这里，也别想驭器飞行了。
Soon, those streaks of lightning condensed into figures—handsome and beautiful cultivators all at the Separation stage.
huàn jù huà shuō ， néng gòu tà zú cǐ dì de ， zhǐ yǒu fēn shén jí bié de lǎo guài wù 。
换句话说，能够踏足此地的，只有分神级别的老怪物。
Lin Xuan’s gaze swept over them. Although their attire was similar, the insignias on their collars were distinct, indicating that these dozens of cultivators did not come from the same sect.
zhè zì rán shì nán bù dào lín xuān de 。
这自然是难不倒林轩的。
But Lin Xuan wasn’t surprised; he had anticipated this outcome.
hún shēn qīng guāng yì qǐ ， nà kě pà de jìn kōng jìn zhì jiù bèi tā shì zuò kōng qì ， fēi le shàng qù 。
浑身青光一起，那可怕的禁空禁制就被他视作空气，飞了上去。
The interdimensional teleportation array didn't belong to any single faction but was jointly owned by the top ten major sects in the Dragon Scale World. Therefore, the guards at the teleportation array naturally included disciples of these ten major sects.
rán ér rén hái zài bàn kōng zhōng ， cóng nà gōng diàn zhī zhōng ， jiù liàng qǐ le shù shí dào jīng hóng ， fēng chí diàn chè ， xiàng zhe zhè biān yíng shàng lái le 。
然而人还在半空中，从那宫殿之中，就亮起了数十道惊虹，风驰电掣，向着这边迎上来了。
Lin Xuan paid no mind to these Separation-stage existences and directly looked towards the leader.
hěn kuài ， nà xiē jīng hóng yī liǎn ， yī míng míng xiū shì de shēn yǐng yìng rù yǎn lián ， quán bù shì jùn nán měi nǚ ， ér qiě xiū wèi bìng fēi cēn cī bù qǐ ， jiē shì lí hé qī 。
很快，那些惊虹一敛，一名名修士的身影映入眼帘，全部是俊男美女，而且修为并非参差不起，皆是离合期。
This person appeared extremely young—no more than thirty years old—but his eyes had fine lines around them, indicating that he was actually much older in reality.
rán ér lín xuān mù guāng sǎo guò ， fā xiàn tā men yī fú suī rán xiāng tóng ， rán ér yī lǐng xiù kǒu de biāo shí ， què shì jiǒng rán xiāng yì ， xiǎn rán ， zhè shù shí míng xiū xiān zhě ， bìng fēi lái zì tóng yī gè mén pài dì 。
然而林轩目光扫过，发现他们衣服虽然相同，然而衣领袖口的标识，却是迥然相异，显然，这数十名修仙者，并非来自同一个门派地。
Despite this, his cultivation wasn’t weak; he was a late-stage Spirit Transformation cultivator.
bù guò lín xuān bìng bù gǎn dào jīng qí ， zhè yì diǎn tā zǎo yǒu yù jì 。
不过林轩并不感到惊奇，这一点他早有预计。
The top ten major sects of the Dragon Scale World were naturally far stronger than the Cloud Concealing Sect.
zhè kuà jiè chuán sòng zhèn běn lái jiù bù dān shǔ yú nǎ yí gè shì lì ， ér shì yóu nài lóng jiè zuì dǐng jiān de shí dà zōng mén gòng tóng yōng yǒu dì 。
这跨界传送阵本来就不单属于哪一个势力，而是由鼐龙界最顶尖的十大宗门共同拥有地。
While Lin Xuan sized up the other party, they also sized him up and quickly recognized him: "Are you Lin Xuan from the Cloud Concealing Sect? I am Qin Song from the Intent Transformation Sect."
suǒ yǐ ， kān shǒu chuán sòng zhèn de xiū shì ， zì rán yě bāo kuò le zhè shí dà mén pài de dì zǐ 。
所以，看守传送阵的修士，自然也包括了这十大门派的弟子。
"Intent Transformation Sect?"
qū qū lí hé jí bié de cún zài ， lín xuān bìng bù zài yì ， mù guāng sǎo guò ， zhí jiē xiàng nà lǐng tóu zhī rén wàng qù le 。
区区离合级别的存在，林轩并不在意，目光扫过，直接像那领头之人望去了。
An unusual gleam flashed in Lin Xuan’s eyes. This was one of the top three major sects in the Dragon Scale World, so he returned a respectful bow. As for why they recognized him, Lin Xuan wasn’t surprised; his fame had grown immensely since the battle at Star Moon City.
cǐ rén kàn shàng qù ， nián qīng yǐ jí ， bù guò sān shí yú suì nián jì ， bù guò zǐ xì kàn ， tā de yǎn jiǎo ， yǒu xì xì de yú wěi wén ， xiǎn rán zhēn shí de nián líng ， bìng bù nián qīng 。
此人看上去，年轻以极，不过三十余岁年纪，不过仔细看，他的眼角，有细细的鱼尾纹，显然真实的年龄，并不年轻。
"Lin Daoist has come here for a reason other than trivial matters. You wish to travel to another dimension," the other party began directly.
rán ér xiū wèi què shì bù ruò ， jū rán yě shì yī wèi fēn shén hòu qī dà chéng de xiū xiān zhě 。
然而修为却是不弱，居然也是一位分神后期大成的修仙者。
"Yes."
nài lóng jiè shí dà dǐng jí zōng mén ， shí lì zì rán yuǎn fēi yún yǐn zōng kě bǐ de 。
鼐龙界十大顶级宗门，实力自然远非云隐宗可比的。
Of course, there was no need for Lin Xuan to hide anything.
ér lín xuān zài dǎ liàng duì fāng de tóng shí ， duì fāng yě zài dǎ liàng zhe tā zhè bù sù zhī kè ， bìng qiě hěn kuài jiù rèn chū lái le ：“ gé xià kě shì yún yǐn zōng de lín xuān lín dào yǒu ， zài xià huà yì mén qín sōng zhè xiāng yǒu lǐ le 。”
而林轩在打量对方的同时，对方也在打量着他这不速之客，并且很快就认出来了：“阁下可是云隐宗的林轩林道友，在下化意门秦松这厢有礼了。”
"If that’s the case, please follow me into the palace; we will discuss in detail later. Different dimensions require different fees."
“ huà yì mén ？”
“化意门？”
"Of course."
lín xuān yǎn zhōng yì máng yī shǎn ， zhè kě shì nài lóng jiè pái míng qián sān de zōng pài ， yú shì tā yě bào le bào quán ， zhì yú duì fāng wèi hé néng gòu rèn chū zì jǐ ， lín xuān dǎo shì yì diǎn yě bù jīng qí ， xīng yuè chéng yī yì ， tā rú jīn de míng qì ， nà shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě dì 。
林轩眼中异芒一闪，这可是鼐龙界排名前三的宗派，于是他也抱了抱拳，至于对方为何能够认出自己，林轩倒是一点也不惊奇，星月城一役，他如今的名气，那是非同小可地。
Thus, under the guidance of this Intent Transformation Sect cultivator, Lin Xuan followed him inside.
“ lín dào yǒu lái dào zhè lǐ ， xiǎng bì shì wú shì bù dēng sān bǎo diàn ， xiǎng yào chuán sòng qù qí tā jiè miàn 。” duì fāng dǎo shì lái le yí gè kāi mén jiàn shān 。
“林道友来到这里，想必是无事不登三宝殿，想要传送去其他界面。”对方倒是来了一个开门见山。
...
“ bù cuò 。”
“不错。”
Three days later.
lín xuān dāng rán gèng méi yǒu dào lǐ yǐn mán 。
林轩当然更没有道理隐瞒。
In a grand palace.
“ jì rán rú cǐ ， hái qǐng suí bǐ rén qù gōng diàn ， yī huì er xiáng tán ， bì jìng qù bù tóng de jiè miàn ， xū yào de fèi yòng shì bù yí yàng de 。”
“既然如此，还请随鄙人去宫殿，一会儿详谈，毕竟去不同的界面，需要的费用是不一样的。”
This palace was several hundred feet wide but felt unusually spacious. At its center stood a high platform with an intricate array that was difficult to describe in just a few words.
“ zhè shì dāng rán 。”
“这是当然。”
Around the teleportation array, eight black-robed cultivators stood, their faces hidden. These were array mages.
yú shì yóu zhè wèi huà yì mén de xiū shì dāng xiān yǐn lù ， lín xuān suí zhe tā yì qǐ zǒu jìn qù le 。
于是由这位化意门的修士当先引路，林轩随着他一起走进去了。
Three days ago, Lin Xuan had been welcomed by Qin Song from the Intent Transformation Sect and entered the palace. The subsequent discussions were straightforward—standard business dealings with haggling over prices.
……
……
Lin Xuan’s wealth was considerable, so he showed no interest in negotiating further. On the other side, given his current fame, Qin Song was eager to make a good impression, offering substantial discounts. Under these circumstances, both parties quickly reached an agreement.
sān tiān hòu 。
三天后。
Afterward, Lin Xuan paid sufficient crystals and treasures. However, preparing for the teleportation array required some time as it involved various preparations and filling with spiritual energy.
yī zuò wēi é de gōng diàn lǐ 。
一座巍峨的宫殿里。
Now everything was ready.
cǐ gōng diàn zú yǒu shù bǎi zhàng guǎng ， rán ér què xiǎn de fēi cháng kōng kuàng ， bù guò zài gōng diàn de zhōng xīn wèi zhì ， què yǒu yí gè gāo tái ， shàng miàn yǒu yí gè zhèn fǎ ， fán fù xuán miào ， liáo liáo shù yán ， nán yǐ yán biǎo 。
此宫殿足有数百丈广，然而却显得非常空旷，不过在宫殿的中心位置，却有一个高台，上面有一个阵法，繁复玄妙，寥寥数言，难以言表。
"Qin Daoist, will there be any issues with the transmission?" Given how significant this matter was, Lin Xuan naturally had to ask.
zài chuán sòng zhèn de zhōu wéi ， zhàn zhe bā míng shēn zhe hēi páo de xiū shì ， lián liǎn kǒng yě bèi zhē zhù ， cǐ bā rén shì zhèn fǎ shī 。
在传送阵的周围，站着八名身着黑袍的修士，连脸孔也被遮住，此八人是阵法师。
"Brother Lin, rest assured; it’s absolutely safe."
sān tiān qián ， lín xuān lái dào zhè lǐ ， bèi huà yì mén de qín sōng yíng le jìn qù ， jiē xià lái de jiāo tán yě méi yǒu shén me hǎo shuō dì ， wú wài hū ， kāi mén zuò shēng yì ， tǎo jià huán jià ér yǐ 。
三天前，林轩来到这里，被化意门的秦松迎了进去，接下来的交谈也没有什么好说地，无外乎，开门做生意，讨价还价而已。
"Hmm," Lin Xuan nodded. With a major sect's reputation, he believed there would be no problems.
lín xuān shēn jiā fēng hòu ， yě méi yǒu xìng qù yǔ duì fāng zài nǎ lǐ tǎo jià huán jià ， ér lìng yī biān ， yīn wèi lín xuān de míng qì rú rì zhōng tiān ， qín sōng yě yǒu yì jiāo hǎo ， kāi chū de jià gé běn jiù shì dà fú yōu huì de ， zài zhè yàng de qíng xíng xià ， shuāng fāng zì rán shì hěn kuài jiù dá chéng xié yì le 。
林轩身家丰厚，也没有兴趣与对方在哪里讨价还价，而另一边，因为林轩的名气如日中天，秦松也有意交好，开出的价格本就是大幅优惠的，在这样的情形下，双方自然是很快就达成协议了。
He then stood before the teleportation array as Qin Song held a command talisman and cast a spell. A whistling sound filled his ears as a layer of green light enveloped him, after which he disappeared from sight.
More than a month later, in a small town far from the Cloud Concealing Sect by thousands of miles.
Rain was gently falling from the sky. A young herdsman had picked a lotus leaf to use as an umbrella and was urgently driving his cattle back home.
Suddenly, he showed signs of shock on his face before rubbing his eyes vigorously. But there was nothing in the distance; could it be that his eyes were playing tricks on him?
The herdsman scratched his head, puzzled. Just a moment ago, he had clearly seen a streak of lightning flash across the horizon. How did it vanish so quickly?
Could this be an opportunity for divine fortune?
He couldn't help but recall the tales about cultivators circulating in the town.
Rain continued to fall as the herdsman stood there, trying hard to keep his eyes wide open. However, with each passing moment, that streak of lightning failed to reappear in his vision.
"Perhaps I did see it."
The herdsman sighed and turned back towards home, dejectedly walking away.
...
In reality, he hadn't been mistaken. At the other end of the town, a silent location, a streak of lightning descended, its light quickly fading as a young man with an ordinary appearance appeared before his eyes.
"The entrance to the teleportation array is in a small human town; it's truly ingeniously designed."

...
Three days later.
In a grand palace.
This palace was several hundred feet wide but felt unusually spacious. At its center stood a high platform with an intricate array that was difficult to describe in just a few words.
Around the teleportation array, eight black-robed cultivators stood, their faces hidden. These were array mages.
