第两千五百一十二章被看穿的奥妙

Chapter 2512: The Revealed Mystery

lín xuān kě méi yǒu xīn qíng yǔ tā zài zhè lǐ màn màn xiāo mó ，^ kàn

林轩可没有心情与他在这里慢慢消磨，^看

Lin Xuan was not in the mood to dawdle here. The situation for his Snow Fox clan against the Ice Bear and Cold Mouse was dire, and he had to return as soon as possible to take charge.

xuě hú yī zú miàn duì bīng xióng hán shǔ ， qíng kuàng bù miào dào jí chù ， zì jǐ bì xū jǐn kuài gǎn huí qù zhǔ chí dà jú de 。

雪狐一族面对冰熊寒鼠，情况不妙到极处，自己必须尽快赶回去主持大局的。

A sinister look appeared on Lin Xuan's face as he thought about this. Above him, large snowflakes continued to fall like goose feathers. The howling wind carried icy snowflakes that converged in the middle, forming a dazzling light. Instantly, it transformed into a five-clawed ice dragon, crystal clear and shimmering with a deep blue hue.

nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， lín xuān de liǎn shàng ， jiàn jiàn xiǎn chū jǐ fēn lì qì lái le 。

脑海中念头转过，林轩的脸上，渐渐显出几分戾气来了。

The ice dragon opened its blood-red maw and shot out a beam of light about ten feet wide at Lin Xuan. It then swayed towards him, looking ferocious.

tóu dǐng ， é máo bān de dà xuě hái zài bù tíng piāo luò ， wū wū de fēng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， hán fēng juǎn zhe xuě huā wǎng zhōng jiān yī jù ， líng máng cì mù ， shùn jiān huà wèi yī tóu wǔ zhǎo bīng lóng ， jīng yíng tòu chè ， hún shēn fàn zhe zhàn lán sè de guāng zé 。

头顶，鹅máo般的大雪还在不停飘落，呜呜的风声传入耳朵，寒风卷着雪huā往中间一聚，灵芒刺目，瞬间化为一头五爪冰龙，晶莹透彻，浑身泛着湛蓝sè的光泽。

"Die!"

zhāng kāi xuè pén dà kǒu ， chōng lín xuān pēn chū yī dào zhí jìng zhàng xǔ de guāng bō， tóng shí tā zì jǐ yě yáo tóu bǎi wěi de chōng guò lái le 。

张开血盆大口，冲林轩喷出一道直径丈许的光bō，同时牠自己也摇头摆尾的冲过来了。

A fierce expression flashed across Lin Xuan's face as he did not move to counter the attack. His Nine Palaces Momentary Sword technique was already in motion, slicing through the ice dragon with swift precision and cutting it into several pieces.

“ zhǎo sǐ ！”

“找死！”

The beam of light was also deflected by his Qi Shield, rendering it harmless.

lín xuān liǎn shàng lì sè shǎn guò ， yě bú jiàn tā duō yú de dòng zuò ， jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn yǐ zòng héng bǎi hé ， jǐ gè shǎn shuò ， jiù jiāng nà wǔ zhǎo bīng lóng zhǎn chéng jǐ duàn le 。

林轩脸上厉sè闪过，也不见他多余的动作，九宫须臾剑已纵横捭阖，几个闪烁，就将那五爪冰龙斩成几段了。

Though it seemed that this attack had been perfectly neutralized, Lin Xuan's face showed no signs of relief. Indeed, from above, the old Ice Demon's voice echoed, filled with arrogance and mockery: "Little guy, there's no need to struggle. In my domain, you can't win against me..."

zhì yú nà dào guāng bō， yě bèi lín xuān de hù zhào dǎng zhù ， shā shāng lì sī háo yě wú 。

至于那道光bō，也被林轩的护罩挡住，杀伤力丝毫也无。

Before he could finish speaking, an unbelievable scene unfolded.

kàn shì jiāng zhè yī bō gōng jī wán měi de huà jiě le ， rán ér lín xuān liǎn shàng què sī háo xǐ sè yě wú ， guǒ rán ， bàn kōng zhōng ， nà bīng lǎo yāo de shēng yīn yòu piāo hū de chuán rù ěr duǒ ， dài zhe jǐ fēn xiāo zhāng yǔ cháo nòng zhī sè：“ xiǎo jiā huo ， bù yòng zhēng zhá le ， wǒ de lǐng yù wǒ zuò zhǔ ， zài zhè lǐ ， nǐ yíng bù liǎo wǒ de ……”

看似将这一bō攻击完美的化解了，然而林轩脸上却丝毫喜sè也无，果然，半空中，那冰老妖的声音又飘忽的传入耳朵，带着几分嚣张与嘲nòng之sè：“小家伙，不用挣扎了，我的领域我做主，在这里，你赢不了我的……”

The severed ice dragon reassembled in the middle, and a complete ice dragon appeared, alive and well as if it had never been struck by the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword.

huà yīn wèi luò ， bù kě sī yì de yí mù fā shēng le 。

话音未落，不可思议的一幕发生了。

But this was not the end. Snowflakes spun around from other directions, converging to form more five-clawed ice dragons.

nà bèi zhǎn chéng jǐ jié de wǔ zhǎo bīng lóng wǎng zhōng jiān yī hé ， suí hòu yī tóu wán zhěng de bīng lóng yòu chū xiàn le ， shēng lóng huó hǔ ， fǎng fú wán quán méi yǒu bèi jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn pī cì guò 。

那被斩成几截的五爪冰龙往中间一合，随后一头完整的冰龙又出现了，生龙活虎，仿佛完全没有被九宫须臾剑劈刺过。

Worse still!

ér shì qíng hái méi yǒu jié shù 。

而事情还没有结束。

The number of ice dragons kept increasing. Wasn't this endless?

qí tā jǐ gè fāng xiàng de xuě huā yòu dī liū liū de xuán zhuǎn qǐ lái le 。

其他几个方向的雪huā又滴溜溜的旋转起来了。

Lin Xuan's brows knitted together as he cast a spell. The sharpness of his Nine Palaces Momentary Sword was unmatched, but what use was its invincibility when the shattered ice dragon would soon reappear, seemingly infinite...

wǎng zhōng jiān yī hé ， líng máng shǎn shuò ， yòu yǒu jǐ tóu wǔ zhǎo bīng lóng chū xiàn zài yǎn lián zhōng 。

往中间一合，灵芒闪烁，又有几头五爪冰龙出现在眼帘中。

Wait!

kě wù ！

可恶！

Suddenly, Lin Xuan's brow furrowed as if he had grasped something important.

yuè dǎ yuè duō ， zhè hái zhēn shì méi wán méi liǎo le ？

越打越多，这还真是没完没了了？

Just now, an idea flashed through his mind like a lightning bolt. He struggled to recall it, and in that moment, inspiration struck, revealing the key to breaking this deadlock.

lín xuān shuāng méi jǐn suǒ ， yī dào fǎ jué dǎ chū ， jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn de fēng lì ， yī jiù shì wú kě pǐ dí ， rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， wú jiān bù cuī yòu yǒu shén me yòng ne ， nà bèi jiǎo suì de bīng lóng hěn kuài yòu huì chóng xīn fú xiàn ér chū ， fǎng fú shì wú qióng wú jìn ……

林轩双眉紧锁，一道法诀打出，九宫须臾剑的锋利，依旧是无可匹敌，然而此时此刻，无坚不摧又有什么用呢，那被搅碎的冰龙很快又会重新浮现而出，仿佛是无穷无尽……

Unfortunately, the feeling was fleeting, leaving him unable to remember it clearly.

děng děng ！

等等！

Lin Xuan scratched his head, his anxiety palpable as he fidgeted, much like an ant on a hot pan.

lín xuān tū rán méi tóu yī tiāo ， fǎng fú zhuā zhù le shén me 。

林轩突然眉头一挑，仿佛抓住了什么。

Meanwhile, Lin Xuan's opponent continued to attack without pause. Fortunately, his Nine Palaces Momentary Sword was incredibly powerful and had reached the realm of spirit communication, capable of defending itself and attacking autonomously. The ice dragons were sliced into pieces, leaving no contest in terms of strength.

jiù zài gāng gāng ， yǒu yī yàng dōng xī fǎng fú diàn guāng huǒ shí bān de zài tā nǎo hǎi zhōng shǎn guò 。

就在刚刚，有一样东西仿佛电光火石般的在他脑海中闪过。

However, this stalemate would soon be broken as Lin Xuan chuckled softly: "A domain? What a presumptuous fellow. Such trash doesn't deserve to call it a domain. I finally figured out your secret..."

lín xuān bù yóu de kǔ kǔ sī suǒ ， zài nà yī kè ， fǎng fú líng gǎn yǒng xiàn ， ràng tā zhuā zhù le pò jiě yǎn qián zhè gān gà jú miàn de zhòng diǎn 。

林轩不由得苦苦思索，在那一刻，仿佛灵感涌现，让他抓住了破解眼前这尴尬局面的重点。

With his low chuckle, Lin Xuan regained his composure and knew how to break the deadlock.

kě xī nà gǎn jué què rú tóng huì xīng yì bān ， jǐn jǐn shì yī shǎn ér guò ， suí hòu què yǒu diǎn xiǎng bù qǐ lái le 。

可惜那感觉却如同彗星一般，仅仅是一闪而过，随后却有点想不起来了。

The inspiration came from that endless phrase...

yī shí jiān ， yǐ lín xuān de chéng fǔ ， yě bù yóu de zhuā ěr náo sāi ， xīn qíng de jiāo zhuó ， jiù yǔ rè guō shàng de mǎ yǐ chà bu duō 。

一时间，以林轩的城府，也不由得抓耳挠腮，心情的焦灼，就与热锅上的蚂蚁差不多。

What in this world could have infinite power?

tā zài nà lǐ zháo jí ， ér duì fāng de gōng jī ， dāng rán méi yǒu tíng xià lái de dào lǐ 。

他在那里着急，而对方的攻击，当然没有停下来的道理。

Even disregarding the lowly Ice Demon, the Three Loose Immortals, the Three Demonic Kings, or even True Primordial Demons—powerful beings who could create their own domains—such a feat was impossible.

hǎo zài lín xuān de jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn shí zài shén miào yǐ jí ， ér qiě yǐ dào le tōng líng de jìng dì ， bù yòng tā cào kòng ， jiù kě yǐ zì jǐ hù zhǔ ， gōng guò lái de wǔ zhǎo bīng lóng ， quán bèi bèi zhǎn dé qī líng bā luò 。

好在林轩的九宫须臾剑实在神妙以极，而且已到了通灵的境地，不用他cào控，就可以自己护主，攻过来的五爪冰龙，全被被斩得七零八落。

Or perhaps, even further, true immortals had limits to their power. They couldn't be said to have inexhaustible and endless energy.

jiù chǎng miàn lái shuō ， yī jiù shì bù fēn shèng fù ， chǔ yú yī zhǒng guǐ yì de xiāng chí lái zhe 。

就场面来说，依旧是不分胜负，处于一种诡异的相持来着。

Here lay a critical question: The Ice Demon's body was destroyed due to carelessness, leaving only his soul. Although the demon soul retained some strength, it paled in comparison to its former self.

bù guò hěn kuài ， zhè zhǒng xiāng chí jiāng bèi dǎ pò ， lín xuān tū rán dī dī de xiào qǐ lái le ：“ lǐng yù me ， zhēn shì dà yán bù cán de jiā huo ， zhè zhǒng lā jī ， yě pèi chèn lǐng yù ， zhōng yú ràng wǒ kuī pò le nǐ de mì mì ……”

不过很快，这种相持将被打破，林轩突然低低的笑起来了：“领域么，真是大言不惭的家伙，这种垃圾，也配称领域，终于让我窥破了你的秘密……”

It was insufficient to maintain this attack. Thus, there was a significant issue: Where did all this power come from?

suí zhe zhè dī xiào de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， lín xuān chóng xīn huī fù le cóng róng zhī sè。

随着这低笑的声音传入耳朵，林轩重新恢复了从容之sè。

The answer was simple.

tā zhōng yú zhī dào gāi zěn me pò chú yǎn qián de jiāng jú le 。

他终于知道该怎么破除眼前的僵局了。

Lin Xuan realized that the Ice Demon must be absorbing the surrounding elemental energy to sustain his attacks.

líng gǎn lái zì yú nà jù wú xīn de wú qióng wú jìn ……

灵感来自于那句无心的无穷无尽……

"Ah, I see!"

zhè shì shàng ， yǒu shén me dōng xī ， yǒu shéi de fǎ lì huì shì wú qióng wú jìn de ？

这世上，有什么东西，有谁的法力会是无穷无尽的？

After understanding this, Lin Xuan recalled a detail he had overlooked. During their confrontation, while it seemed continuous, the attacks were not as fierce as they appeared. Despite the variety of techniques, none posed any real threat or trouble.

bié shuō yǎn qián zhè bù rù liú de bīng lǎo yāo le ， biàn shì sān dà sàn xiān ， sān dà yāo wáng ， huò zhě zhēn mó shǐ zǔ nà yàng de qiáng dà cún zài ， zhè yàng néng gòu chuàng zào guī zé de lǐng yù qiáng zhě ， yě shì bù kě néng de 。

别说眼前这不入流的冰老妖了，便是三大散仙，三大妖王，或者真魔始祖那样的强大存在，这样能够创造规则的领域强者，也是不可能的。

The answer was clear: None at all!

huò zhě ， zài jìn yí bù ， jí biàn shì xiān jiè de zhēn xiān ， fǎ lì yī jiù yǒu gè dù ， bù gǎn shuō shì qǔ zhī bù jìn ， yòng zhī bù jié de 。

或者，再进一步，即便是仙界的真仙，法力依旧有个度，不敢说是取之不尽，用之不竭的。

Wasn't that intentional?

ér zhè lǐ jiù yǒu yí gè wèn tí le 。

而这里就有一个问题了。

Of course not; the Ice Demon wanted to devour and digest Lin Xuan alive. The problem was his insufficient power, unable to support powerful attacks.

bīng lǎo yāo de ròu shēn yīn wèi yī shí dà yì ， yǐ jīng huǐ zài le zì jǐ de shǒu lǐ ， rú jīn de tā ， zhǐ shèng xià qū qū yī hún pò ér yǐ 。

冰老妖的ròu身因为一时大意，已经毁在了自己的手里，如今的他，只剩下区区一魂魄而已。

Why did he lack the power? Because he relied on absorbing elemental energy rather than using his own essence qi. Thus, in a unit of time, the amount of power available was limited.

suī rán yāo hún běn shēn ， yě cún yǒu yí dìng de lì liàng ， dàn yǔ ròu shēn xiāng bǐ ， gēn běn jiù shì jiǔ niú yī máo。

虽然妖魂本身，也存有一定的力量，但与ròu身相比，根本就是九牛一máo。

The old fellow had set up this trap; under these circumstances, he couldn't defeat Lin Xuan directly but could use cunning tactics like delaying or depleting Lin Xuan's power until...

yuǎn bù zú yǐ wéi chí yǎn qián de gōng jī ， nà zhè lǐ jiù yǒu yí gè fēi cháng zhí de zhòng shì de wèn tí ， zhè xiē fǎ lì ， jiū jìng shì cóng nǎ lǐ lái dì ？

远不足以维持眼前的攻击，那这里就有一个非常值得重视的问题，这些法力，究竟是从哪里来地？

A clever scheme indeed.

dá àn bìng bù fù zá 。

答案并不复杂。

If another cultivator were involved, they might not have seen through it. Even for Lin Xuan, if not for a fortunate chance, he would still be unaware of the mystery.

lín xuān jǐn jǐn shì lüè yī sī suǒ ， jiù xiǎng dào le 。

林轩仅仅是略一思索，就想到了。

But now...

tiān dì yuán qì 。

天地元气。

The saying goes: know your enemy and yourself, and you will never be defeated. Now that he knew the Ice Demon's trick, Lin Xuan had a way to counter it.

méi cuò ， duì fāng bì rán shì tōng guò xī shōu zhè fù jìn tiān dì jiān de yuán qì ， cóng ér wéi chí duì zì jǐ de gōng jī 。

没错，对方必然是通过吸收这附近天地间的元气，从而维持对自己的攻击。

He couldn't help but sneer.

“ yuán lái rú cǐ ！”

“原来如此！”

With a wave of his sleeve, several colorful array flags flew out.

xiǎng tōng zhè yì diǎn hòu ， lín xuān hái huí yì qǐ yí gè xì jié 。

想通这一点后，林轩还回忆起一个细节。

Their surface shimmered with elemental energy, clearly not ordinary items. The Five Elements Essence Array flags could serve as treasures and have other uses, such as forming an array to isolate elemental energy.

ér zhè yī qiè ， qià qià yì zhí bèi zì jǐ suǒ hū lüè 。

而这一切，恰恰一直被自己所忽略。

"Go!"

jiù shì zhè yī duàn shí jiān de dòu fǎ ， biǎo miàn shàng kàn ， shì méi yǒu tíng guò ， kě duì fāng de gōng jī ， qí shí bìng bù měng è ， suī rán kàn shàng qù huā yàng fán duō ， rán ér zhēn zhèng yǒu nǎ yī zhǒng duì zì jǐ zào chéng wēi xié huò zhě shì má fán le me ？

就是这一段时间的斗法，表面上看，是没有停过，可对方的攻击，其实并不猛恶，虽然看上去huā样繁多，然而真正有哪一种对自己造成威胁或者是麻烦了么？

Lin Xuan raised his right hand, flicking his wrist slightly upward. As he moved, the five array flags shot out in different directions.

dá àn shì xiǎn ér yì jiàn de 。

答案是显而易见的。

"What are you doing?"

méi yǒu 。

没有。

The Ice Demon's voice echoed, though confident, it was unclear what Lin Xuan intended. Seeing the array flags, he felt uneasy and sent several ice spears towards them.

yī zhǒng dōu méi yǒu ！

一种都没有！

Attempting to block the array flags.

shì duì fāng bù xiǎng me ？

是对方不想么？

But his efforts were in vain. The Five Elements Essence Array flags themselves were extraordinary treasures. With a slight application of power, they shattered the ice spears and disappeared into the icy expanse.

dāng rán bù ， tā hèn bù dé jiāng lín xuān shēng tūn huó bō ， kě wèn tí shì fǎ lì bù zú ， gēn běn jiù bù zú yǐ zhī chēng wēi lì qiáng dà de gōng jī 。

当然不，他恨不得将林轩生吞活剥，可问题是法力不足，根本就不足以支撑威力强大的攻击。
