After flying for over a dozen days, Lin Xuan finally felt some fatigue. (Please visit us using our pinyin domain.)

)⒌⒈
Indeed, as a mid-stage spirit-splitter cultivator, Lin Xuan’s spiritual energy wasn’t infinite. Anyone in his position, after ten days of non-stop flight without rest, would surely feel some strain.
zhè yě shì nán miǎn 。
这也是难免。
On this day, Lin Xuan's light slowed down and he appeared before a vast city.
chéng rán ， lín xuān shì fēn shén zhōng qī de xiū xiān zhě ， dàn fǎ lì yě bú shì wú qióng wú jìn de ， rèn shuí yǔ tā yì dì ér chǔ ， shí yú tiān bù xiū bù mián de quán sù fēi xíng ， kěn dìng yě yǒu xiē shòu bù liǎo le 。
诚然，林轩是分神中期的修仙者，但法力也不是无穷无尽的，任谁与他易地而处，十余天不休不眠的全速飞行，肯定也有些受不了了。
This city was extremely prosperous; looking around, the walls seemed to stretch endlessly, but it was hard for Lin Xuan to gauge their exact length.
zhè tiān ， lín xuān dùn guāng yī huǎn ， què shì chū xiàn zài le yī jù dà chéng chí de qián miàn 。
这天，林轩遁光一缓，却是出现在了一巨大城池的前面。
However, such massive cities were commonplace in the Spirit Realm, where prosperity and resources far surpassed those of the mortal world.
cǐ chéng fán róng yǐ jí ， fàng yǎn wàng qù ， jìng rán kàn bù chū nà chéng qiáng ， jiū jìng mián yán yǒu duō shǎo lǐ 。
此城繁荣以极，放眼望去，竟然看不出那城墙，究竟绵延有多少里。
Lin Xuan released his divine sense and found that this city not only housed numerous cultivators, but also a significant number of ordinary people. Distantly, he could see streaks of light flying through the sky, making it seem like an incredibly prosperous scene.
bù guò lín xuān bìng bù xī qí ， zài líng jiè ， zhè yàng de jù chéng ， nà shì shǔ bù shèng shǔ ， bì jìng ， líng jiè de fán róng yǔ zī yuán guǎng bó ， nà shì yuǎn fēi rén jiè kě yǐ qǐ jí de 。
不过林轩并不稀奇，在灵界，这样的巨城，那是数不胜数，毕竟，灵界的繁荣与资源广博，那是远非人界可以企及的。
Despite the nagging feeling of unease still lingering in his heart, Lin Xuan didn’t plan to continue fleeing.
lín xuān jiāng shén shí fàng chū ， fā xiàn cǐ chéng zhōng bù jǐn yǒu zhòng duō de xiū xiān zhě ， fán rén de shù liàng yě bù zài shǎo shù ， tiān kōng zhī shàng ， dào chù kě jiàn dùn guāng fēi lüè ér guò ， jìng shì yī fù fán róng wú bǐ de yàng zi 。
林轩将神识放出，发现此城中不仅有众多的修仙者，凡人的数量也不在少数，天空之上，到处可见遁光飞掠而过，竟是一副繁荣无比的样子。
After all, there was always a chance that the spiritual omens in his mind might be wrong. Without confirming that enemies were indeed pursuing him, constantly running seemed rather foolish.
jǐn guǎn cǐ shí cǐ kè ， xīn zhōng nà mò míng bù ān de gǎn jué yī jiù huī zhī bù qù ， dàn lín xuān bìng méi yǒu dǎ suàn ， jì xù táo dùn xià qù 。
尽管此时此刻，心中那莫名不安的感觉依旧挥之不去，但林轩并没有打算，继续逃遁下去。
Moreover, during this trip, his secondary spirit core had unexpectedly advanced by one stage due to coincidental opportunities, reaching mid-stage spirit-splitter status alongside his main spirit core.
bì jìng xīn tóu líng zhào zhè zhǒng dōng xī ， chū cuò de jī lǜ hái shì mán dà de ， xiàn zài bìng méi yǒu què dìng ， hòu miàn jiù zhēn yǒu dí rén ， suǒ dìng le zì jǐ ， yì zhí táo ， sì hū yǒu diǎn gòu shǎ dì 。
毕竟心头灵兆这种东西，出错的几率还是蛮大的，现在并没有确定，后面就真有敌人，锁定了自己，一直逃，似乎有点够傻地。
Although his strength still couldn’t match the primary body’s, he was still a standout among peers. With several powerful treasures at his disposal, well-prepared, it seemed unlikely that he would face significant danger unless targeted by an old monster of the tribulation stage.
hé kuàng zhè cì wài chū ， dì èr yuán yīng kě shì jī yuán qiǎo hé ， yì wài jìn le yī jí ， yǔ zhǔ yuán yīng tóng yàng dá dào le fēn shén zhōng qī 。
何况这次外出，第二元婴可是机缘巧合，意外晋了一级，与主元婴同样达到了分神中期。
In the Dragon Realm, such ancient monsters were few and far between; how could he be singled out?
suī rán yīn wèi xiū liàn de gōng fǎ jiǒng yì ， shí lì yī jiù méi yǒu bàn fǎ yǔ běn tǐ xiāng bǐ ， dàn zài tóng jiē xiū shì zhōng ， hái shì suàn shì jiǎo jiǎo zhě ， hé kuàng zì jǐ suí shēn yòu xié dài le shù jiàn wēi lì jí dà de bǎo wù ， zhǔn bèi chōng zú ， zhǐ yào bù zhēn shì bèi dù jié qī lǎo guài wù dīng shàng le ， yīng gāi shì méi yǒu shén me dà ài de 。
虽然因为修炼的功法迥异，实力依旧没有办法与本体相比，但在同阶修士中，还是算是佼佼者，何况自己随身又携带了数件威力极大的宝物，准备充足，只要不真是被渡劫期老怪物盯上了，应该是没有什么大碍的。
Being cautious was wise, but worrying needlessly might not be necessary.
ér jí biàn shì nài lóng jiè ， dù jié qī lǎo guài yě jué rán bù duō ， zì jǐ mò míng qí miào de ， zěn me kě néng bèi nà zhǒng cún zài gěi dīng shàng ne ？
而即便是鼐龙界，渡劫期老怪也决然不多，自己莫名其妙的，怎么可能被那种存在给盯上呢？
With these thoughts in mind, Lin Xuan took a deep breath and suppressed his unease. He then concealed his aura and flew towards the city.
xiǎo xīn méi yǒu cuò ， dàn ruò shì yōng rén zì rǎo de huà ， sì hū yě méi shén me bì yào le 。*/*
小心没有错，但若是庸人自扰的话，似乎也没什么必要了。*/*
After all, as a spirit-splitter cultivator, he stood out too much; an infant spirit core would be more suitable, neither too strong nor weak, fitting Lin Xuan’s preference for discretion.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， lín xuān shēn shēn hū xī 。 jiāng xīn zhōng nà bù ān de gǎn jué yā le xià qù 。
脑海中念头转过，林轩深深呼吸。将心中那不安的感觉压了下去。
Little did he know that this action nearly sent the dignified Tianyuan Marquis into a rage. The spirit beast resembling a wild boar suddenly reported losing track of Lin Xuan. How could such an ancient monster not feel anxious?
suí hòu shōu liǎn qì xī ， xiàng yǎn qián de chéng chí fēi qù 。
随后收敛气息，像眼前的城池飞去。
To be fair, it wasn’t the fault of the spirit beast; what it referred to as "scent" was actually spiritual energy traces.
bì jìng fēn shén qī ， fàng zài nǎ lǐ ， dōu yǒu xiē tài guò yǐn rén zhǔ mù ， yuán yīng jiù hǎo le ， bù qiáng bù ruò ， zuì shì fú hé lín xuān dī diào de yuán zé 。
毕竟分神期，放在哪里，都有些太过引人瞩目，元婴就好了，不强不弱，最是符合林轩低调的原则。
The places where cultivators had been were often marked by subtle fluctuations in spiritual energy. The problem was that Lin Xuan had significantly reduced his aura, making it harder for the spirit beast to trace him down.
ér tā bù xiǎo de ， cǐ jǔ què ràng nà wèi yí tài yōng róng de tiān yuán hóu 。 chà diǎn bào tiào rú léi le 。 yīn wèi nà xíng sì yě zhū de líng shòu ， tū rán gào sù tā ， shī qù lín xuān de zōng jì le 。 cǐ lǎo guài wù zhè me néng bù xīn zhōng zháo jí ？
而他不晓得，此举却让那位仪态雍容的天元侯。差点暴跳如雷了。因为那形似野猪的灵兽，突然告诉他，失去林轩的踪迹了。此老怪物这么能不心中着急？
Tianyuan Marquis’s expression was dark with worry, but he couldn’t just give up. After a moment of hesitation, he performed a secret technique to greatly enhance the spirit beast's sensing ability.
shuō qǐ lái ， yě bù néng guài nà líng shòu ， tā kǒu zhōng suǒ shuō de qì wèi 。 dāng rán bú shì zhǐ zhēn de yòng bí zi wén dào le lín xuān de qì xī 。
说起来，也不能怪那灵兽，牠口中所说的气味。当然不是指真的用鼻子闻到了林轩的气息。
With this, even if Lin Xuan’s spiritual energy had weakened, it should be detectable.
ér yīng gāi shuō chéng shì líng lì yìn jì 。
而应该说成是灵力印记。
Although such an approach only provided temporary results and came with significant risks—damaging the spirit beast’s life essence and shortening its lifespan—it was worth it for Tianyuan Marquis. He wouldn’t hesitate to lose his own lifeblood in exchange for finding true spirit blood.
xiū shì dài guò de dì fāng ， huò duō huò shǎo dū huì liú xià yì diǎn líng lì bō dòng ， wèn tí shì ， lín xuān rú jīn shōu liǎn qì xī ， hún shēn suǒ sàn fà chū lái de líng bō jiǎn ruò le xǔ duō ， cǐ líng shòu xiǎng yào shùn téng mō guā de xiǎng yào zhuī chá dào tā de xiàn suǒ ， zì rán yě jiù nán le hěn duō 。
修士待过的地方，或多或少都会留下一点灵力波动，问题是，林轩如今收敛气息，浑身所散发出来的灵波减弱了许多，此灵兽想要顺藤摸瓜的想要追查到他的线索，自然也就难了很多。
However, the spirit beast's face showed a fierce expression. Having been subjected to a secret technique that would shorten its lifespan, it was furious. It blamed another thief who had stolen some of the spirit blood, thinking that if not for him, it wouldn’t be in this predicament.
tiān yuán hóu de shén sèyīn mái yǐ jí ， dàn tā zì rán bù kě néng jiù zhè yàng fàng qì ， lüè yī chí yí zhī hòu 。 jū rán shī zhǎn mì shù ， qiáng xíng jiāng nà líng shòu de gǎn yìng lì tí gāo xǔ duō 。
天元侯的神sèyīn霾以极，但他自然不可能就这样放弃，略一迟疑之后。居然施展秘术，强行将那灵兽的感应力提高许多。
Though this blame was unjustified, it didn’t matter; all it wanted was for Tianyuan Marquis to find and torture that person to relieve its anger.
rú cǐ yī lái ， jí biàn duì fāng de líng bō yǒu jiǎn ruò ， tā yě yīng gāi néng gòu chá jué dào le 。
如此一来，即便对方的灵波有减弱，牠也应该能够察觉到了。
The beast inherited some of the true spirit’s bloodline but suffered from a curse. Its body was weak compared to the true spirit's lineage, making its lifespan shorter than most human cultivators. Thus, it desperately sought advancement to extend its life.
suī rán zhè yàng zuò ， xiào guǒ jǐn jǐn shì zàn shí de ， ér qiě hòu huàn jí dà ， cǐ líng shòu bù jǐn huì sǔn shāng běn mìng yuán qì 。 shèn zhì lián shòu mìng ， dū huì yīn cǐ suō duǎn shǎo xǔ ， kě yǐ shuō dé bù cháng shī 。
虽然这样做，效果仅仅是暂时的，而且后患极大，此灵兽不仅会损伤本命元气。甚至连寿命，都会因此缩短少许，可以说得不偿失。
This time, hoping for a reward, it had ended up with nothing, leaving it extremely frustrated.
dàn cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tā nǎ lǐ gù dé le zhè xǔ duō ， zhēn líng zhī xuè tā zhì zài bì děi 。 fù chū xiē xǔ dài jià yě jué duì zhí de ， bié shuō jǐn jǐn shì ràng cǐ líng shòu de yuán qì yǔ shòu yuán sǔn shī yī xiē 。 jiù suàn shì yīn cǐ yǔn luò ， tā yě jué bú huì gù xī shén me 。
但此时此刻，他哪里顾得了这许多，真灵之血他志在必得。付出些许代价也绝对值得，别说仅仅是让此灵兽的元气与寿元损失一些。就算是因此陨落，他也绝不会顾惜什么。
Tianyuan Marquis’s expression wasn’t much better.
zhǐ yào néng zhǎo dào zhēn líng zhī xuè ， huí bào shì bǎi bèi qiān bèi de 。
只要能找到真灵之血，回报是百倍千倍的。
In the Dragon Realm, Wenyuan City was no ordinary place; it belonged to the True Apex Sect's affiliated city. The vast Dragon Realm had few superpowers, and the True Apex Sect stood out among them.
tiān yuán hóu gù rán shì bù zài hū ， rán ér nà xíng sì yě zhū de líng shòu què dà jīng shī sè， xīn zhōng huǐ dé cháng zi dōu qīng le ， zhēn shì bān qǐ shí tou zá zì jǐ de jiǎo ， zǎo zhī dào ， shì zhè yàng yí gè jié guǒ ， tā cái bú huì wèi le tǎo hǎo zūn zhǔ ， yāo gōng shuō chá jué dào yǒu qí tā rén lái guò nà hùn dùn kōng jiān de 。
天元侯固然是不在乎，然而那形似野猪的灵兽却大惊失sè，心中悔得肠子都青了，真是搬起石头砸自己的脚，早知道，是这样一个结果，他才不会为了讨好尊主，邀功说察觉到有其他人来过那混沌空间的。
Its power was unimaginable for most cultivators, especially terrifying as its top elder, Heavenly Apex Immortal, was a mid-stage tribulation cultivator.
rán ér xiàn zài shuō shén me dōu wǎn le 。
然而现在说什么都晚了。
His strength surpassed even Lin Xuan’s.
zì zuò cōng míng shì huì fù chū dài jià 。
自作聪明是会付出代价。
The fact that this person had escaped into the city was either due to chance or because he had discovered their pursuit and sought refuge here. Tianyuan Marquis didn’t know which, hence his darkened expression.
bù guò nà mì shù yě dàng zhēn yǒu xiào guǒ ， tā de gǎn yìng lì yī xià zi zēng jiā le xǔ duō ， lín xuān suī shōu liǎn qì xī ， dàn yě zài yí cì zhǎo dào le tā de líng lì bō dòng 。
不过那秘术也当真有效果，他的感应力一下子增加了许多，林轩虽收敛气息，但也再一次找到了他的灵力波动。
If it were the former, he could wait in the city; once the other party rested or finished something, they would leave, giving him a chance.
“ xiàng nà ge fāng xiàng fēi qù le me ， hǎo 。”
“像那个方向飞去了么，好。”
But if it was the latter, finding out about their trail and deliberately hiding, the trouble would be significant.
dé dào kěn dìng de dá fù ， tiān yuán hóu xīn zhōng dà xǐ ， yī cuī shòu chē ， pò kōng shēng dà zuò ， huà wèi yī dào jīng hóng xiàng zuǒ cè jī shè ér qù le 。
得到肯定的答复，天元侯心中大喜，一催兽车，破空声大做，化为一道惊虹像左侧激shè而去了。
