rú jīn ， zhōng lǎo guài yè yǐ fú zhū ， zhè jiàn hú yě jiù chéng le lín xuān de bǎo wù ， suī rán dān dú shǐ yòng ， yī yàng shì wēi lì wú qióng ， dàn lín xuān gèng qīng xiàng yú ， jiāng tā liàn huà jìn zì jǐ de běn mìng fǎ bǎo zhī zhōng 。
如今，钟老怪业已伏诛，这剑葫也就成了林轩的宝物，虽然单独使用，一样是威力无穷，但林轩更倾向于，将它炼化进自己的本命法宝之中。
Now that Old Monster Zhong was dead, the sword gourd had become Lin Xuan's treasure. Although it could still unleash tremendous power when used alone, Lin Xuan preferred to integrate it into his own命魂法宝.
ruò shì néng gòu chéng gōng róng hé ， ràng jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn huò dé zhè liǎng yàng shén tōng ……
若是能够成功融合，让九宫须臾剑获得这两样神通……
If he could successfully merge with these two divine techniques...
yī xiǎng dào cǐ chù ， jí biàn yǐ lín xuān de chéng fǔ ， zuǐ jiǎo yě gōu lè chū yí gè jí wéi xǐ yuè de fú dù ， nà qǐ shì yí gè rú hǔ tiān yì néng xíng róng 。
一想到此处，即便以林轩的城府，嘴角也勾勒出一个极为喜悦的幅度，那岂是一个如虎添翼能形容。
Just thinking about it made Lin Xuan’s lips curve into a very happy smile. It wasn’t just an addition; it was like adding wings to a tiger.
suī shuō bù shàng tuō tāi huàn gǔ ， dàn jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn de wēi lì ， jiāng yīn cǐ zēng jiā dào yí gè bù kě sī yì de chéng dù 。
虽说不上脱胎换骨，但九宫须臾剑的威力，将因此增加到一个不可思议的程度。
Though it wouldn't be a complete transformation, the power of the Nine Palace Momentary Sword would increase to an unimaginable degree.
dāng rán ， huà shì rú cǐ ， xiǎng yào róng hé bìng bù róng yì 。
当然，话是如此，想要融合并不容易。
Of course, achieving this wasn’t easy. A misstep could destroy the sword gourd without yielding any benefits for the Nine Palace Momentary Sword.
yí gè bù hǎo ， hái yǒu kě néng huǐ qù jiàn hú ， ér jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn ， què méi yǒu fēn háo shōu huò 。
一个不好，还有可能毁去剑葫，而九宫须臾剑，却没有分毫收获。
Lin Xuan was prepared for such a result. After all, the path of immortals was fraught with difficulties, and crafting treasures involved countless obstacles.
duì yú zhè zhǒng zhú lán dá shuǐ de jié guǒ ， lín xuān yě shì yǒu xīn lǐ zhǔn bèi de 。
对于这种竹篮打水的结果，林轩也是有心理准备的。
Despite knowing this, he still had to proceed.
bì jìng xiān dào jiān sè ， liàn zhì bǎo wù ， yuán běn jiù shì yǒu wú shù de kùn nán zǔ gé 。
毕竟仙道艰涩，炼制宝物，原本就是有无数的困难阻隔。
Cultivation, cultivation—every step entailed enduring hardships.
rán ér míng zhī rú cǐ ， tā yī jiù dé zhè me zuò 。
然而明知如此，他依旧得这么做。
If one wavered at the first sign of difficulty and changed their goals, how could they have reached this point? They would likely have turned into dust long ago.
xiū xiān xiū xiān ， nǎ yī bù bú shì lì jīng jiān xiǎn ？
修仙修仙，哪一步不是历经艰险？
Knowing there were tigers ahead but charging towards them anyway—this was what an immortal cultivator needed: a fearless spirit.
rú guǒ yī yù kùn nán ， jiù xīn zhì dòng yáo ， gǎi biàn chū zhōng ， tán hé zǒu dào jīn tiān zhè yī bù ， kǒng pà zǎo jiù huà zuò le zhè shì jiān de chén tǔ 。
如果一遇困难，就心智动摇，改变初衷，谈何走到今天这一步，恐怕早就化作了这世间的尘土。
Without further ado, Lin Xuan waved his sleeve, and a flicker of spiritual light appeared in mid-air. This was the sword gourd he had just mentioned, Old Monster Zhong’s命魂 treasure.
míng zhī shān yǒu hǔ ， piān xiàng hǔ shān xíng ， xiū xiān zhě ， jiù yào yǒu yī wǎng wú qián de qì pò 。
明知山有虎，偏向虎山行，修仙者，就要有一往无前的气魄。
Lin Xuan raised his right hand and sent a spell towards it. A pop sounded as a crimson beam shot out from within.
zhè zhōng jiān de sī liáng zàn qiě bù shuō ， lín xuān xiù páo yī fú ， líng guāng shǎn shuò ， yí gè hú lú zài bàn kōng zhōng yú yuè ér chū 。
这中间的思量暂且不说，林轩袖袍一拂，灵光闪烁，一个葫芦在半空中鱼跃而出。
Though the original owner's mark hadn’t been removed yet, with Old Monster Zhong’s soul scattered to pieces, Lin Xuan could still manipulate it with some effort.
zhè jiù shì gāng gāng tí jí de jiàn hú ， yě jí shì zhōng lǎo guài de běn mìng bǎo wù 。
这就是刚刚提及的剑葫，也即是钟老怪的本命宝物。
Of course, its power would be greatly diminished, but since he wasn't using this for combat now, a slight weakening in power was no issue.
lín xuān yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， yī dào fǎ jué chōng qí dǎ qù 。
林轩右手抬起，一道法诀冲其打去。
"Quickly!"
bō de yī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yóu lǐ miàn pēn chū yī dào ér bì cū de chì hóng guāng zhù 。
啵的一声传入耳朵，由里面喷出一道儿臂粗的赤红光柱。
Lin Xuan raised his right hand and pointed forward. As he moved, the crimson beam vanished, only to reappear as over ten flying swords appeared before him.
suī rán qí yuán zhǔ rén de yìn jì shàng wèi mǒ chú ， dàn zhōng lǎo guài jì yǐ hún fēi pò sàn diào le ， yǐ lín xuān de shén tōng ， lüè lüè cāo kòng tā hái shì bù nán de 。
虽然其原主人的印记尚未抹除，但钟老怪既已魂飞魄散掉了，以林轩的神通，略略操控它还是不难的。
Lin Xuan’s gaze swept across them. These immortal swords were thin like cicada wings but clearly true physical entities, not forged from spiritual energy or secret techniques.
dāng rán ， shén tōng huì dà jiǎn xǔ duō ， bù guò xiàn zài ， yòu bú shì fàng chū cǐ wù duì dí ， wēi lì shāo wēi ruò shàng nà me yī xiē ， yòu yǒu shén me guān xì ？
当然，神通会大减许多，不过现在，又不是放出此物对敌，威力稍微弱上那么一些，又有什么关系？
Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes and stared at these immortal swords for a moment. Then he waved his sleeve again, and silver light flashed as a pale silver sword appeared in his vision.
“ jí ！”
“疾！”
This item had nothing to do with the sword gourd; instead, it was one of Lin Xuan’s命魂 flying swords.
zhǐ jiàn lín xuān yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， yī zhǐ xiàng qián diǎn qù ， suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， nà chì hóng sè de guāng zhù yī shǎn ， jū rán xiāo shī bú jiàn ， suí hòu kōng jiān bō dòng zhòu qǐ ， shí yú bǐng fēi jiàn ， qǔ ér dài zhī de chū xiàn zài shì xiàn lǐ 。
只见林轩右手抬起，一指向前点去，随着他的动作，那赤红色的光柱一闪，居然消失不见，随后空间波动骤起，十余柄飞剑，取而代之的出现在视线里。
Nine Palace Momentary!
lín xuān mù guāng sǎo guò ， zhǐ jiàn zhè xiē xiān jiàn báo rú chán yì ， dàn xiǎn rán shì zhēn zhèng de shí tǐ ， ér fēi yòng shén tōng mì shù ， yǐ líng lì cuì liàn ér chéng de 。
林轩目光扫过，只见这些仙剑薄如蝉翼，但显然是真正的实体，而非用神通秘术，以灵力淬炼而成的。
After summoning this weapon, Lin Xuan didn’t hesitate. With his divine consciousness activated, the Nine Palace Momentary Sword emitted a fierce glow and slashed forward.
lín xuān yǎn jīng wēi mī ， níng shì le zhè xiē xiān jiàn piàn kè ， tū rán yòu shì xiù páo yī fú ， yín máng zhà qǐ ， yī kǒu dàn yín sè de xiān jiàn chū xiàn zài le shì xiàn lǐ 。
林轩眼睛微眯，凝视了这些仙剑片刻，突然又是袖袍一拂，银芒乍起，一口淡银色的仙剑出现在了视线里。
The over ten crimson immortal swords were not to be outdone. They turned slightly and rushed towards him as well.
zhè dōng xī què yǔ nà jiàn hú méi yǒu guān xì ， ér shì lín xuān jiāng yī kǒu běn mìng fēi jiàn jì qǐ 。
这东西却与那剑葫没有关系，而是林轩将一口本命飞剑祭起。
For a moment, silver and red lights interwove, but just after making contact, a series of cracking sounds echoed in his ears. The over ten crimson immortal swords were all sliced into two halves.
jiǔ gōng xū yú ！
九宫须臾！
Though the sword gourd could produce many treasures, their power paled in comparison to the Nine Palace Momentary Sword. They could barely withstand one strike.
jì chū cǐ wù hòu ， lín xuān bìng méi yǒu shén me chí yí ， shén niàn yì qǐ ， jiǔ gōng xū jiā jiàn lì máng dà zuò ， chōng zhe shēn qián hěn hěn zhǎn chū 。
祭出此物后，林轩并没有什么迟疑，神念一起，九宫须夹剑厉芒大做，冲着身前狠狠斩出。
Lin Xuan was well aware of this result and showed no surprise on his face. He simply raised his right hand and shot a sword spell from his fingertips.
ér shí yú kǒu chì hóng xiān jiàn yě bù shì ruò ， lüè yī zhuǎn zhé ， tóng yàng hū xiào zhe yíng shàng lái le 。
而十余口赤红仙剑也不示弱，略一转折，同样呼啸着迎上来了。
Zzzz…
yī shí jiān ， yín máng hóng guāng ， hù xiāng jiāo zhī ， rán ér jǐn jǐn shì lüè yī jiē chù ， kā chā kā chā zhī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà shí yú kǒu chì hóng xiān jiàn jū rán jiē bèi zhǎn wèi liǎng jié diào le 。
一时间，银芒红光，互相交织，然而仅仅是略一接触，咔嚓咔嚓之声传入耳朵，那十余口赤红仙剑居然皆被斩为两截掉了。
As he moved, an unbelievable scene unfolded. The broken swords turned into specks of light and vanished, only to reappear elsewhere as whole objects.
jiàn hú biàn huà chū lái de fǎ bǎo suī duō ， rán ér lùn wēi lì ， yòu nǎ lǐ néng yǔ jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn xiāng bǐ ， shèn zhì kě yǐ shuō bù kān yī jī 。
剑葫变化出来的法宝虽多，然而论威力，又哪里能与九宫须臾剑相比，甚至可以说不堪一击。
They were unharmed.
rán ér zhè ge jié guǒ ， lín xuān shì zǎo jiù zhī xiǎo dì ， gù ér liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng ， méi yǒu fēn háo jīng qí ， píng dàn yǐ jí ， zhǐ jiàn tā yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， yī dào jiàn jué yóu zhǐ jiān jī shè chū qù 。
然而这个结果，林轩是早就知晓地，故而脸上的表情，没有分毫惊奇，平淡以极，只见他右手抬起，一道剑诀由指尖激射出去。
"剑灵化虚!"
cì kā …
刺咖…
Lin Xuan exhaled a mouthful of浊气, muttering softly.
suí zhe qí dòng zuò ， bù kě sī yì de yí mù fā shēng le 。
随着其动作，不可思议的一幕发生了。
He had already experienced this divine technique when fighting Old Monster Zhong, which left him in awe. He immediately thought of the legendary Sword Spirit's Transformation into an Ethereal Form.
nà xiē duàn liè chéng liǎng jié de xiān jiàn ， huà wèi diǎn diǎn xīng guāng xiāo shī ， dàn hěn kuài ， yòu zài lìng yī cè fú xiàn ér chū ， rán ér zhè yī cì ， chū xiàn zài nǎi shì wán zhěng zhī wù 。
那些断裂成两截的仙剑，化为点点星光消失，但很快，又在另一侧浮现而出，然而这一次，出现在乃是完整之物。
This great divine technique was rare even among the three realms; few, if any, cultivators had heard or seen it firsthand. Lin Xuan enjoyed reading ancient texts but never found mention of this technique in any book.
shàng miàn fēn háo shāng hén yě wú 。
上面分毫伤痕也无。
He knew about it due to Mo Yue Tian Wu Jue, which mentioned that many high-ranking figures existed in the spirit realm beyond the Three Realms—beyond the three great demon kings and three scattered immortals, there were some late-stage cultivation experts whose power was unimaginable.
“ jiàn líng huà xū ！”
“剑灵化虚！”
In the past, when the Heavenly Witch Goddess toured the spirit realm, she met a top-tier cultivator named Fairy of a Hundred Flowers. They engaged in battle, with the Heavenly Witch Goddess ultimately emerging victorious. However, the opponent’s Sword Spirit's Transformation into an Ethereal Form left a deep impression on her and caused significant trouble.
lín xuān tǔ chū yī kǒu xiōng zhōng zhuó qì ， nán nán zì yǔ de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ lǐ 。
林轩吐出一口胸中浊气，喃喃自语的声音传入耳朵里。
During that battle, while other divine techniques were not discussed, the clash between their命魂 treasures was spectacular.
cǐ shén tōng ， zài yǔ zhōng lǎo guài dòu fǎ de shí hòu ， tā jiù yǐ rán lǐng jiào guò ， xīn zhōng dāng shí ， yě shì zhèn hàn bù yǐ ， lì kè jiù xiǎng dào le chuán wén zhōng de jiàn líng huà xū 。
此神通，在与钟老怪斗法的时候，他就已然领教过，心中当时，也是震撼不已，立刻就想到了传闻中的剑灵化虚。
Fairy of a Hundred Flowers’ sword vs. Nine Palace Momentary!
cǐ dà shén tōng ， fàng yǎn sān jiè ， bié shuō qīn yǎn mù dǔ ， jiù suàn jǐn jǐn shì tīng shuō ， zhè yàng de xiū shì yě qū zhǐ kě shǔ ， lín xuān xián xiá zhī yú ， xǐ huān biàn yuè diǎn jí ， dàn què cóng lái bù céng zài nà yī běn diǎn jí zhōng ， yǒu tí dào guò 。
此大神通，放眼三界，别说亲眼目睹，就算仅仅是听说，这样的修士也屈指可数，林轩闲暇之余，喜欢遍阅典籍，但却从来不曾在那一本典籍中，有提到过。
While both swords were top-tier, the Nine Palace Momentary Sword clearly had an edge in terms of durability and power. Logically, the conflict between these two divine swords was inevitable.
tā zhī suǒ yǐ xiǎo de ， hái shì yóu yú mò yuè tiān wū jué de yuán gù ， shàng miàn tí dào ， líng jiè gāo rén wú shù ， chú le sān dà yāo wáng yǔ sān dà sàn xiān ， yào yǒu yī xiē dù jié hòu qī qiáng zhě ， shí lì yě shì fēi cháng bù kě sī yì de 。
他之所以晓得，还是由于墨月天巫诀的缘故，上面提到，灵界高人无数，除了三大妖王与三大散仙，要有一些渡劫后期强者，实力也是非常不可思议的。
Without other divine techniques to aid them, Fairy of a Hundred Flowers' sword would almost certainly have lost, possibly even being destroyed.
xī rì ， tiān wū shén nǚ zài líng jiè yóu lì ， jiù céng huì guò yī wèi jiào zuò bǎi huā xiān zi de jué dǐng qiáng zhě ， liǎng rén céng dòng shǒu qiē cuō ， suī rán zuì hòu de jié guǒ ， shì tiān wū shén nǚ yíng le ， dàn duì fāng zuò wéi yí dài jiàn xiū ， jiàn líng huà xū de shén tōng yě ràng tiān wū shén nǚ yìn xiàng shēn kè ， shèn zhì chī le bù xiǎo de kǔ tóu 。
昔日，天巫神女在灵界游历，就曾会过一位叫做百花仙子的绝顶强者，两人曾动手切磋，虽然最后的结果，是天巫神女赢了，但对方作为一代剑修，剑灵化虚的神通也让天巫神女印象深刻，甚至吃了不小的苦头。
Fairy of a Hundred Flowers, a powerful cultivator, understood this but didn’t care. She engaged in battle with her sword, and the Heavenly Witch Goddess was astonished.
nà yī zhàn ， shuāng fāng de lǐng yù yǔ qí tā dà shén tōng zàn qiě bù tí ， běn mìng fǎ bǎo de bǐ pīn kě wèi shì jīng cǎi wú bǐ 。
那一战，双方的领域与其他大神通暂且不提，本命法宝的比拼可谓是精彩无比。
This was exactly what she wanted; there was no reason to retreat. Even if Fairy of a Hundred Flowers had some trick up her sleeve, it wouldn't matter.
bǎi huā xiān jiàn duì jiǔ gōng xū yú 。
百花仙剑对九宫须臾。
She met the challenge head-on, using Nine Palace Momentary Sword to clash with the opponent.
jiù wēi lì lái shuō ， bǎi huā xiān jiàn suī rán yě shì dǐng jí zhī wù ， dàn jiǔ gōng xū yú què míng xiǎn lüè shèng yī xiē ， bù lùn jiān rèn hái shì wēi lì 。
就威力来说，百花仙剑虽然也是顶级之物，但九宫须臾却明显略胜一些，不论坚韧还是威力。
In the sky, sword energy surged and rained down like rain, its power capable of destroying heaven and earth. Despite the spectacle, Fairy of a Hundred Flowers’ sword soon fell short, cracks appearing on its blade until it was finally destroyed.
àn lǐ ， liǎng zhǒng xiān jiàn de huǒ bìng nà shì méi yǒu xuán niàn dì 。
按理，两种仙剑的火并那是没有悬念地。
This result left the Heavenly Witch Goddess in shock.
ruò méi yǒu qí tā shén tōng de fǔ zhù ， bǎi huā xiān jiàn jī hū kěn dìng shì luò bài wú yí ， nòng bù hǎo shèn zhì hái huì bèi huǐ qù 。
若没有其他神通的辅助，百花仙剑几乎肯定是落败无疑，弄不好甚至还会被毁去。
Not only had her命魂 been destroyed but why did the opponent go so far? It wasn’t for a serious battle; they were just sparring. Why such intensity? Knowing she would lose, why didn't she use a more indirect approach?
zhè dào lǐ ， bǎi huā xiān zi zhè yàng de qiáng zhě ， qǐ huì bù xīn lǐ yǒu shù ， rán ér tā què háo bù zài hū ， shèn zhì cāo zòng bǎi huā xiān jiàn yǔ duì shǒu yìng pīn 。
这道理，百花仙子这样的强者，岂会不心里有数，然而她却毫不在乎，甚至操纵百花仙剑与对手硬拼。
Before this thought could fully form, the broken swords began to self-repair and reappeared whole.
tiān wū shén nǚ chú le yà yì hái shì yà yì ， rán ér zhè zhǒng zhèng zhòng xià huái de hǎo shì ， zì rán méi yǒu tuì bì zhī lǐ 。
天巫神女除了讶异还是讶异，然而这种正中下怀的好事，自然没有退避之理。
Wasn’t that impossible? The Heavenly Witch Goddess would have never believed it if not for her own eyes.
lián sàn xiān tā dōu bù fàng zài yǎn lǐ ， bǎi huā xiān zi jiù suàn yǒu shén me guǐ jì ， yòu néng nài zì jǐ hé ？
连散仙她都不放在眼里，百花仙子就算有什么诡计，又能奈自己何？
For a moment, she even thought it was an illusion. However, soon she realized she was wrong and suffered greatly from the Sword Spirit's Transformation into an Ethereal Form. No matter how many times the immortal swords were destroyed, they always recovered completely.
yú shì yě yǐ yìng pèng yìng ， cāo zòng jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn yǔ duì fāng yìng pīn 。
于是也以硬碰硬，操纵九宫须臾剑与对方硬拼。
If not for the Nine Palace Momentary Sword’s extraordinary power, her other divine techniques might have been superior to those of the opponent, potentially leading to a loss in that sparring match.
zhǐ jiàn tiān kōng zhōng jiàn qì zòng héng ， jiàn máng rú yǔ ， nà wēi lì ， zú yǐ huǐ tiān miè dì ， rán ér dǎ dé gù rán shì rè nào yǐ jí ， bǎi huā xiān jiàn què hěn kuài bù dí ， yī dào yī dào de liè hén chū xiàn yú jiàn shēn ， zuì hòu shèn zhì bèi huǐ qù 。
只见天空中剑气纵横，剑芒如雨，那威力，足以毁天灭地，然而打得固然是热闹以极，百花仙剑却很快不敌，一道一道的裂痕出现于剑身，最后甚至被毁去。
Later, she praised this technique endlessly, comparing it to an invincible body of a demon beast but far more powerful.
Now that Old Monster Zhong was dead, the sword gourd had become Lin Xuan's treasure. Although it could still unleash tremendous power when used alone, Lin Xuan preferred to integrate it into his own命魂法宝.
If he could successfully merge with these two divine techniques...
Just thinking about it made Lin Xuan’s lips curve into a very happy smile. It wasn’t just an addition; it was like adding wings to a tiger.
