第两千五百九十二章飞剑传书
Chapter 2592: Flying Sword Transmission
shì yàng gǔ piáo , shàng miàn de huā wén shí fēn qí tè , xiǎn rán yě shì yī xū yú zhī bǎo 。
式样古朴,上面的花纹十分奇特,显然也是一须臾之宝。
The ancient and simple design, along with the intricate patterns on it, clearly indicated that this was a Must臾 Treasure.
lín xuān xīn zhōng dà xǐ , zhèng xiǎng yào jiāng shén shí fàng chū , lüè wēi chá tàn yī xià lǐ miàn dōu yǒu yī xiē shén me bǎo wù , tū rán méi tou yí zhòu , hòu fāng wàn yú lǐ zhī yuǎn , zhèng yǒu jǐ dào dùn guāng fēng chí diàn chè ér lái , xiǎn rán zhè lǐ dǎ dé rú cǐ tiān fān dì fù , zhōng yú jīng dòng le yī xiē xiū xiān zhě 。
林轩心中大喜,正想要将神识放出,略微查探一下里面都有一些什么宝物,突然眉头一皱,后方万余里之远,正有几道遁光风驰电掣而来,显然这里打得如此天翻地覆,终于惊动了一些修仙者。
Lin Xuan's heart leaped with joy. Just as he was about to release his spirit awareness to investigate what treasures were inside, his brow furrowed suddenly. Several streaks of light, traveling at incredible speed, appeared from over ten thousand miles away behind him. It seemed that the chaos here had finally caught the attention of some cultivators.
ér qiě sì hū shén tōng hái bù ruò 。
而且似乎神通还不弱。
Moreover, these cultivators seemed quite powerful.
pà , lín xuān shì bù pà de , rán ér jīng lì le nà me duō bō zhé , lín xuān yě bù xiǎng zài jié wài shēng zhī le 。
怕,林轩是不怕的,然而经历了那么多波折,林轩也不想再节外生枝了。
Lin Xuan was not afraid, but after experiencing so many setbacks, he didn't want any more complications.
yú shì jiāng shǒu zhōng de chǔ wù zhuó yī shōu , huà wèi yī dào jīng hóng , fēng chí diàn chè de lí kāi le cǐ chù 。
于是将手中的储物镯一收,化为一道惊虹,风驰电掣的离开了此处。
So, he retracted his storage bracelet and transformed it into a streak of startling light, speeding away from the scene.
yī zhù xiāng de shí jiān yǐ hòu , guǒ rán yǒu yī bái èr hóng , sān dào dùn guāng fēi dào le zhè lǐ 。
一炷香的时间以后,果然有一白二红,三道遁光飞到了这里。
After about an incense stick's worth of time, sure enough, three streaks of light appeared—white, red, and another white. The light dimmed, revealing the faces of one man and two women.
guāng máng shōu liǎn , lù chū le yī nán èr nǚ sān míng xiū shì de róng yán 。
光芒收敛,露出了一男二女三名修士的容颜。
Lin Xuan's perception was correct; their cultivation levels were extraordinary. All three were at the Spirit Transformation stage. He recognized the bearded giant who had brought him into the Ethereal Immortal Palace. The other two were two women in palace attire, both with delicate appearances. The only difference was that one woman was tall and slender, while the other was more petite.
lín xuān de gǎn yìng méi cuò , sān rén de xiū wèi fēi tóng kě , jū rán dōu shì fēn shén jí bié de cún zài , qí zhōng nà qiú xū dà hàn tā hái rèn shí , zhèng shì jiāng tā dài jìn piāo miǎo xiān gōng de nà ge 。
林轩的感应没错,三人的修为非同可,居然都是分神级别的存在,其中那虬须大汉他还认识,正是将他带进缥缈仙宫的那个。
At the Spirit Transformation stage, their strength was already formidable, but at this moment, shock was written all over their faces.
lìng wài liǎng gè , zé shì liǎng míng shēn chuān gōng zhuāng de nǚ zǐ , róng mào dōu hěn qīng xiù , wéi yī de bù tóng , shì zuǒ biān de nǚ zǐ , shēn cái gāo tiǎo , yòu biān de nǚ zǐ , zé xiāng duì jiāo 。
另外两个,则是两名身穿宫装的女子,容貌都很清秀,唯一的不同,是左边的女子,身材高挑,右边的女子,则相对娇。
It wasn't because they were alarmed; rather, it was due to what they had seen and heard on their journey. The large pit on the ground seemed bottomless, with bubbling lava emitting heat, stretching for several thousand miles in diameter. Such destructive power could not be achieved by any Spirit Transformation cultivator.
fēn shén qī , shí lì yǐ shì bù sú , rán ér cǐ kè , sān rén de liǎn shàng , mǎn shì zhèn hàn zhī sè 。
分神期,实力已是不俗,然而此刻,三人的脸上,满是震撼之色。
Could it be...
bú shì tā men dà jīng guài , ér shì yī lù zǒu lái , suǒ jiàn suǒ wén , tài bù kě sī yì le diǎn 。
不是他们大惊怪,而是一路走来,所见所闻,太不可思议了点。
The three kept silent but were internally pondering.
dì shàng de dà kēng shēn bú jiàn dǐ , yán jiāng zài lǐ miàn tū tū de mào zhe rè qì , zhí jìng gèng shì dá dào le shù qiān lǐ , zhè yàng de pò huài lì , fēn shén qī cún zài shì xiǎng yě bié xiǎng dì 。
地上的大坑深不见底,岩浆在里面突突的冒着热气,直径更是达到了数千里,这样的破坏力,分神期存在是想也别想地。
And the shock was far from over. As they flew closer to this area, everything they saw became more terrifying, leaving them speechless.
nán dào shì ……
难道是……
Within a ten-thousand-mile radius, there wasn't even a trace of primordial qi. The sky seemed like a piece of torn cloth, with countless spatial rifts visible everywhere. Occasionally, one could see flashes of lightning and fiery explosions.
sān rén zuǐ shàng bù , xīn zhōng què zhí fàn dí gū 。
三人嘴上不,心中却直犯嘀咕。
The three were seasoned enough to be amazed by such sights, but at this moment, they couldn't speak.
ér zhèn hàn yuǎn méi yǒu jié shù , yuè wǎng zhè ge fāng xiàng fēi , suǒ kàn jiàn de yī qiè , yuè shì kě bù , yǐ jīng bù zhī dào yòng shén me yán yǔ lái xíng róng 。
而震撼远没有结束,越往这个方向飞,所看见的一切,越是可怖,已经不知道用什么言语来形容。
After a while, the tall woman on the left spoke: "Sister Zhou, what do you think? This kind of destructive power is beyond our ability as Spirit Transformation cultivators."
fāng yuán wàn lǐ , shèn zhì gǎn yìng bú dào yì diǎn tiān dì yuán qì , zhěng gè tiān kōng , fǎng fú yī kuài pò bù , bèi wán pí de māo mī yī zhèn sī chě , fàng yǎn wàng qù , dà dà de kōng jiān liè fèng , shù bù shèn shù , ǒu ěr hái kě yǐ kàn jiàn bù shǎo diàn guāng yǔ léi huǒ jiāo zhī shǎn shuò 。
方圆万里,甚至感应不到一点天地元气,整个天空,仿佛一块破布,被顽皮的猫咪一阵撕扯,放眼望去,大大的空间裂缝,数不甚数,偶尔还可以看见不少电光与雷火交织闪烁。
"Mm, Sister Senior's words are correct. Even if Elder Calmness were here with her treasure to suppress the gate, it would be impossible for her to achieve such a feat," the petite woman nodded in agreement.
sān rén yě suàn jiàn duō shí guǎng zhī tú , rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè , què bèi zhèn hàn dé lián huà dōu bù chū 。
三人也算见多识广之徒,然而此时此刻,却被震撼得连话都不出。
"Friend Zhang, what do you think about this? Could it be an outsider demon?" The tall woman turned to ask.
guò le piàn kè 。
过了片刻。
"This..."
zuǒ shǒu biān nà shēn cái gāo tiǎo de nǚ zǐ kāi kǒu le :“ zhōu shī mèi , nǐ jué de rú hé , zhè zhǒng pò huài lì , kǒng pà bú shì wǒ bèi fēn shén qī xiū shì néng gòu zào chéng de 。”
左手边那身材高挑的女子开口了:“周师妹,妳觉得如何,这种破坏力,恐怕不是我辈分神期修士能够造成的。”
The bearded giant's expression was also grave. He had been tasked by Elder Grandmaster to contact various forces and lead them to exterminate the outsiders. Given the reputation of Ethereal Immortal Palace, major sects and families couldn't afford to ignore this threat, sending high-ranking cultivators to participate in the hunt.
“ ń , shī jiě suǒ yán bù cuò , biàn shì jìng xū shī jiě zài cǐ chù , shǒu chí zhèn mén zhī bǎo , yě jué bù kě néng zuò dào zhè yī qiè de 。” nà shēn cái jiāo de nǚ zǐ diǎn le diǎn tóu , yī liǎn de zàn xǔ zhī sè 。
“嗯,师姐所言不错,便是静虚师姐在此处,手持镇门之宝,也绝不可能做到这一切的。”那身材娇的女子点了点头,一脸的赞许之色。
Among human sects, apart from Ethereal Immortal Palace, the Primordial Holy Island, with its female-dominated members, was at the top.
“ zhāng dào yǒu , cǐ shì zěn me kàn ne , huì bú huì shì nà tiān wài mó tóu ?” gāo tiǎo nǚ zǐ zhuǎn guò le tóu 。
“张道友,此事怎么看呢,会不会是那天外魔头?”高挑女子转过了头。
Upon learning about the situation, the island also dispatched two Supreme Elders who joined the bearded giant in searching for the outsider demon's whereabouts.
“ zhè ……”
“这……”
This matter was originally just Lin Xuan's idle speculation. After their days of fruitless search, they naturally found nothing. However, this was normal; with such a vast world, if the outsider demon had hidden well, it wouldn't be easy to find him within just a few days.
qiú xū dà hàn yě shì yī liǎn de níng zhòng zhī sè , fèng dà zhǎng lǎo zhī mìng , tā yǔ zhū zhǎng lǎo lián luò gè dà shì lì , chū lái wéi jiǎo tiān wài zhī mó , yǐ piāo miǎo xiān gōng de shēng wàng shí lì , gè dà zōng mén jiā zú zì rán bù gǎn děng xián shì zhī , fēn fēn pài chū gāo jiē xiū xiān zhě , bì jìng tiān wài zhī mó , rú guǒ zhēn sì lüè cǐ jiè de huà , duì gè dà zōng mén jiā zú , kě dōu jiāng huì shì yī cháng zāi nàn de 。
虬须大汉也是一脸的凝重之色,奉大长老之命,他与诸长老联络各大势力,出来围剿天外之魔,以飘渺仙宫的声望实力,各大宗门家族自然不敢等闲视之,纷纷派出高阶修仙者,毕竟天外之魔,如果真肆掠此界的话,对各大宗门家族,可都将会是一场灾难的。
As cultivators, they certainly had patience.
jiù rén lèi zōng mén lái , chú le piāo miǎo xiān gōng , qí tā dà dà de mén pài , dāng yǐ nǚ xiū wéi zhǔ de huán yǔ shèng dǎo jū shǒu 。
就人类宗门来,除了缥缈仙宫,其他大大的门派,当以女修为主的寰宇圣岛居首。
One day, by chance, they flew nearby and were drawn here by the terrifying cosmic disturbances.
dé zhī qíng kuàng yǐ hòu , shèng dǎo yě pài chū le liǎng míng tài shàng zhǎng lǎo , yǔ qiú xū dà hàn yì qǐ , sì chù xún zhǎo nà tiān wài zhī mó de zōng jì 。
得知情况以后,圣岛也派出了两名太上长老,与虬须大汉一起,四处寻找那天外之魔的踪迹。
The scene before them was shocking. As for the doubts raised by the Daming woman, the bearded giant didn't know how to respond.
cǐ shì běn lái jiù shì lín xuān hú yán luàn yǔ , tā men shù rì de xún mì , zì rán shì yī wú suǒ huò , bù guò zhè yě shì zhèng cháng de , cǐ jiè miàn jī guǎng bó , ruò shì nà tiān wài zhī mó yòu yǒu xīn qián fú de huà , dāng rán méi yǒu nà me róng yì , duǎn duǎn shù rì , jiù néng gòu fā xiàn tā de zōng jì 。
此事本来就是林轩胡言乱语,他们数日的寻觅,自然是一无所获,不过这也是正常的,此界面积广博,若是那天外之魔又有心潜伏的话,当然没有那么容易,短短数日,就能够发现他的踪迹。
Could it be an outsider demon? The current situation exceeded his comprehension; mere speculation couldn't help him make a decision.
shēn wèi xiū xiān zhě , zhè diǎn nài xīn kěn dìng shì yǒu de 。
身为修仙者,这点耐心肯定是有的。
Just as he was pondering what to do, the petite Zhou woman spoke: "If one is the outsider demon, who would the other be? This area has been so thoroughly destroyed. Clearly, both sides have engaged in battle. If one of them is on par with the Tribulation Transcending stage, the other must not be far behind..."
zhè rì , tā men jī yuán qiǎo hé , fēi dào le fù jìn , jié guǒ què bèi nà kě pà de tiān dì yì dòng , xī yǐn dào le zhè lǐ 。
这日,他们机缘巧合,飞到了附近,结果却被那可怕的天地异动,吸引到了这里。
Her expression turned thoughtful as she said this.
yǎn qián de yī qiè , ràng tā men zhèn hàn yǐ jí , cǐ shí , miàn duì nà dīng xìng nǚ zǐ de yí huò , qiú xū dà hàn yě bù zhī dào gāi zěn me 。
眼前的一切,让他们震撼以极,此时,面对那丁姓女子的疑惑,虬须大汉也不知道该怎么。
The expressions of the other two were similar. In this world, who's strength could match that of a Tribulation Transcending cultivator? The answer seemed obvious—only the long-missing Profound Ice Ancestor.
tiān wài zhī mó , huò xǔ ba , yǎn qián de yī qiè , yǐ chāo chū le tā de rèn zhī , guāng píng chuǎi mó , shí zài shì nán yǐ xià jiě jué duàn shén me 。
天外之魔,或许吧,眼前的一切,已超出了他的认知,光凭揣摩,实在是难以下解决断什么。
Could it...
zhèng chóu chú zhe gāi zěn me , yī páng nà shēn cái jiāo de zhōu xìng nǚ zǐ kāi kǒu le :“ yí gè ruò shì tiān wài zhī mó , nà lìng wài yí gè jiā huo yòu huì shì shuí ne , zhè zhōu wéi bèi pò huài dé rú cǐ lí pǔ , xiǎn rán shuāng fāng , shì jīng lì le yī cháng dà zhàn , rú guǒ qí zhōng yí gè kān bǐ dù jié , nà lìng wài yí gè , xiāng bì yě bú huì xiāng chà tài yuǎn ……”
正踌躇着该怎么,一旁那身材娇的周姓女子开口了:“一个若是天外之魔,那另外一个家伙又会是谁呢,这周围被破坏得如此离谱,显然双方,是经历了一场大战,如果其中一个堪比渡劫,那另外一个,相必也不会相差太远……”
Before he could finish his thought, another discovery was made: "Eh, what is this?"
cǐ nǚ dào zhè lǐ , liǎn shàng lù chū ruò yǒu suǒ sī zhī sè 。
此女到这里,脸上露出若有所思之色。
The Daming woman's eyebrows twitched as she lifted her jade hand. Her fingers curled slightly, and with a motion, an object from several dozen feet away was brought to her hand.
qí yú liǎng rén de biǎo qíng yě chà bu duō , cǐ jiè shéi de shí lì néng gòu kān bǐ dù jié , dá àn sì hū yǐ hū zhī yù chū , fàng yǎn rén yāo liǎng zú , yě zhǐ yǒu nà jiǔ bù lòu miàn de xuán bīng lǎo zǔ 。
其余两人的表情也差不多,此界谁的实力能够堪比渡劫,答案似乎已呼之欲出,放眼人妖两族,也只有那久不露面的玄冰老祖。
"Sister, what have you found?" The Daming woman's anxious voice echoed in his ears.
nán dào ……
难道……
Without speaking, the Daming woman spread her palm. A small black dot, or rather, a ball of qi, appeared on her rosy palm.
zhè ge niàn tou shàng wèi zhuǎn guò , hěn kuài yòu yǒu xīn de fā xiàn le 。
这个念头尚未转过,很快又有新的发现了。
"What is this..."
“ yí , zhè shì shén me ?”
“咦,这是什么?”
The bearded giant's pupils constricted: "Demon qi."
nà zhōu xìng méi shāo yī dòng , sà rán tái qǐ yù shǒu , wǔ zhǐ wēi qū , suí zhe tā de dòng zuò , shù shí zhàng wài de yī wù , bèi tā shè rù dào le shǒu lǐ 。
那周姓眉梢一动,飒然抬起玉手,五指微曲,随着她的动作,数十丈外的一物,被她摄入到了手里。
"Indeed, it is demon qi, and without doubt, it belongs to Profound Ice Ancestor," the Daming woman's voice was clear and deliberate.
“ shī mèi , nǐ fā xiàn shén me le ?”
“师妹,妳发现什么了?”
"Sister, how can you be so certain?"
dīng xìng nǚ zǐ yǒu diǎn xīn jí de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
丁姓女子有点心急的声音传入耳朵。
"I won't hide from Sister Senior. Two thousand years ago, I had a chance encounter with Profound Ice Ancestor. Although my cultivation was low back then, I am confident that I would not mistake him," the Daming woman replied.
zhōu xìng nǚ zǐ méi yǒu kāi kǒu , jǐn jǐn shì jiāng shǒu zhǎng tān kāi le , zhǐ jiàn bái lǐ tòu hóng de zhǎng xīn lǐ miàn , yǒu yī dòu lì dà de hēi diǎn , bù , zhèng què de , yīng gāi shì qì tuán 。
周姓女子没有开口,仅仅是将手掌摊开了,只见白里透红的掌心里面,有一豆粒大的黑点,不,正确的,应该是气团。
The bearded giant's brow raised; this woman had once met Profound Ice Ancestor two thousand years ago. What secrets lay between them? Just as he was about to speak, a red light suddenly appeared in his line of sight.
“ zhè shì ……”
“这是……”
Both women were stunned, their gazes drawn to it.
qiú xū dà hàn tóng kǒng wēi suō :“ yāo qì 。”
虬须大汉瞳孔微缩:“妖气。”
The bearded giant lifted his hand and caught the red streak, revealing a blood-red sword several inches long.
“ bù cuò , zhèng shì yāo qì , ér qiě de dí què què shì xuán bīng lǎo zǔ dì 。” zhōu xìng nǚ zǐ yī zì yī dùn de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ lǐ 。
“不错,正是妖气,而且的的确确是玄冰老祖地。”周姓女子一字一顿的声音传入耳朵里。
"Flying sword transmission."
“ shī mèi , nǐ zěn me néng rú cǐ kěn dìng ne ?”
“师妹,妳怎么能如此肯定呢?”
The bearded giant's gaze sharpened as he recognized the object. It was also adorned with a unique secret technique of their sect to prevent other cultivators from intercepting or spying on it. Could something significant have happened within the sect?
“ bù mán shī jiě , liǎng qiān nián qián , mèi jī yuán qiǎo hé , jiàn guò xuán bīng lǎo zǔ yī cì , suī rán nà shí hòu wǒ xiū wèi shàng dī xià , dàn zì xìn shì jué bú huì rèn cuò dì 。”
“不瞒师姐,两千年前,妹机缘巧合,见过玄冰老祖一次,虽然那时候我修为尚低下,但自信是绝不会认错地。”
Or had one of his fellow disciples discovered the outsider demon and needed assistance due to insufficient strength?
qiú xū dà hàn méi tóu yī yáng , cǐ nǚ liǎng qiān nián qián jū rán jiàn guò xuán bīng lǎo zǔ yī cì , zhè zhōng jiān yòu yǒu shén me yǐn mì , tā zhèng yù kāi kǒu , yī dào hóng guāng tū rán chū xiàn zài shì xiàn zhōng 。
虬须大汉眉头一扬,此女两千年前居然见过玄冰老祖一次,这中间又有什么隐秘,他正欲开口,一道红光突然出现在视线中。
Thoughts raced through his mind as he lowered his head, sinking his spirit awareness.
liǎng nǚ yī dāi , mù guāng yě bèi xī yǐn le guò lái 。
两女一呆,目光也被吸引了过来。
The blood-red sword seemed to ignite like a flame.
zhǐ jiàn nà qiú xū dà hàn shǒu yī tái , jiù jiāng nà hóng guāng zhuā zài le zhǎng zhōng , jū rán shì yī shù cùn zhǎng de xuè hóng sè jiàn 。
只见那虬须大汉手一抬,就将那红光抓在了掌中,居然是一数寸长的血红色剑。
"What?"
“ fēi jiàn chuán shū 。”
“飞剑传书。”
In an instant, the bearded giant exclaimed in shock, his face filled with anger and disbelief. His rage was palpable.
qiú xū dà hàn mù guāng yī níng , lì kè rèn chū le cǐ wù , ér qiě shàng miàn hái fù yǒu běn mén dú mén mì shù , fáng zhǐ bèi qí tā xiū shì jié huò , tōu kuī de nà zhǒng , nán dào mén zhōng fā shēng shén me dà shì le ?
虬须大汉目光一凝,立刻认出了此物,而且上面还附有本门独门秘术,防止被其他修士截获,偷窥的那种,难道门中发生什么大事了?
This expression left the two women speechless. Before they could ask, the bearded giant bowed: "Two immortal ladies, I have urgent matters. Please forgive me."
hái shì yǒu shī xiōng dì fā xiàn tiān wài mó tóu de zōng jì , què lì yǒu bù dài , yīn cǐ xiàng zì jǐ qiú yuán ?
还是有师兄弟发现天外魔头的踪迹,却力有不殆,因此像自己求援?
Without waiting for their response, he transformed into a streak of startling light, speeding towards the horizon.
Chapter 2592: Flying Sword Transmission
The ancient and simple design, along with the intricate patterns on it, clearly indicated that this was a Must臾 Treasure.
Lin Xuan's heart leaped with joy. Just as he was about to release his spirit awareness to investigate what treasures were inside, his brow furrowed suddenly. Several streaks of light, traveling at incredible speed, appeared from over ten thousand miles away behind him. It seemed that the chaos here had finally caught the attention of some cultivators.
