nà shēng yīn kāi shǐ yǒu xiē zá luàn ， dàn hěn kuài ， jiù yuè lái yuè zhěng qí ， rú pái shān dǎo hǎi ， zài chóng shān jùn lǐng zhōng yuǎn yuǎn chuán kāi 。
那声音开始有些杂乱，但很快，就越来越整齐，如排山倒海，在崇山峻岭中远远传开。
The sound initially sounded chaotic but quickly became more orderly, like a tidal wave, reverberating through the rugged mountains and valleys.
lián tiān kōng zhōng de yún cǎi dōu bèi zhèn sàn 。
连天空中的云彩都被震散。
Even the clouds in the sky were dispersed by the tremor.
lín xuān wēi wēi tàn xī ， shì dào rú jīn ， yǐ yóu bù dé zì jǐ dī diào xià qù 。
林轩微微叹息，事到如今，已由不得自己低调下去。
Lin Xuan sighed slightly. With things as they stood now, he couldn't afford to be低调 anymore.
xī le kǒu qì ， tā zài yī tuán yào yǎn de yín máng zhōng huǎn huǎn shēng qǐ 。
吸了口气，他在一团耀眼的银芒中缓缓升起。
Taking a deep breath, he slowly rose into the air enveloped in a dazzling silver light.
suí zhe gāo dù de bào zhǎng ， nà yín máng yě yuè lái yuè liàng 。
随着高度的暴涨，那银芒也越来越亮。
As his altitude increased, so did the brightness of the silver glow.
zūn guì ér huá měi de guāng máng ， ràng rén bù gǎn zhí shì ， yǔ cǐ tóng shí ， yī gǔ kě pà de líng yā ， cóng tiān ér luò 。
尊贵而华美的光芒，让人不敢直视，与此同时，一股可怕的灵压，从天而落。
A noble and magnificent radiance shone out, making it impossible for anyone to look directly at him. Simultaneously, an ominous spiritual pressure descended from above.
nà líng yā yě shì zhú cì zēng qiáng ， bù guò yóu yú miàn duì de shì běn mén xiū xiān zhě ， lín xuān jiāng nà líng yā zuò le yī xiē gǎi liáng ， jiǎn dān de shuō ， jiù shì néng gòu ràng tā men gǎn jué dào zì jǐ de qiáng dà ， rán ér nà miàn duì gāo jiē cún zài shí de yā yì yǔ nán shòu ， què bèi lín xuān zàn shí tī chú diào le 。
那灵压也是逐次增强，不过由于面对的是本门修仙者，林轩将那灵压做了一些改良，简单的说，就是能够让他们感觉到自己的强大，然而那面对高阶存在时的压抑与难受，却被林轩暂时剔除掉了。
This pressure gradually intensified. However, since he was facing fellow sect members, Lin Xuan modified it slightly—making them feel his power without the oppressive feeling that comes with confronting a higher-ranking existence.
ér zhè hái méi yǒu jié shù 。
而这还没有结束。
But this wasn't over yet.
zhǐ jiàn tā shuāng shǒu qīng tái ， zuǒ yòu shǒu gè niē le yī dào fǎ yìn ， suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， sī háo zhēng zhào yě wú ， yī tuán jīn máng cóng lín xuān de bèi hòu bào shè ér chū 。
只见他双手轻抬，左右手各捏了一道法印，随着他的动作，丝毫征兆也无，一团金芒从林轩的背后爆shè而出。
With both hands raised, he formed two mudras. Without any prior signs, a golden light burst from behind him.
yào yǎn cì mù ， kàn shàng qù zūn guì huá měi dào le jí chù ！
耀眼刺目，看上去尊贵华美到了极处！
Blinding and majestic!
rán ér zhè bù guò shì kāi shǐ bà le 。
然而这不过是开始罢了。
However, this was just the beginning.
nà yào yǎn de jīn máng yuè lái yuè liàng ， suí hòu jìng biàn huà chū le yī zūn fǎ xiàng 。
那耀眼的金芒越来越亮，随后竟变化出了一尊法相。
The dazzling golden light grew brighter until it transformed into a divine figure.
chū shǐ hái yǒu diǎn mó hú ， dàn jǐn jiē zhe ， nà yào yǎn de jīn guāng ， què kāi shǐ fēng kuáng de zī zhǎng 。
初始还有点模糊，但紧接着，那耀眼的金光，却开始疯狂的滋长。
Initially hazy, the golden glow soon began to grow at an alarming rate, surpassing even the brightness of the sun!
biàn dé bǐ tài yáng hái yào míng liàng ！
变得比太阳还要明亮！
After a moment, the radiance dimmed, revealing its true form—the divine figure.
shǎo qǐng ， nà guāng máng yī liǎn ， xiǎn chū le fǎ xiàng de yuán xíng lái 。
少顷，那光芒一敛，显出了法相的原形来。
It resembled Lin Xuan in every way but had nine heads and eighteen arms. A terrifying aura emanated from it.
róng mào yǔ lín xuān bié wú èr zhì ， jiù fǎng fú zì jǐ de yǐng zi ， rán ér què yǒu jiǔ tóu shí bā bì ， yī gǔ lìng rén wèi jù de qì xī ， dùn shí pèi rán ér qǐ 。
容貌与林轩别无二致，就仿佛自己的影子，然而却有九头十八臂，一股令人畏惧的气息，顿时沛然而起。
The Small Heavenly Palace Divine Figure!
xiǎo luó tiān fǎ xiàng ！
小罗天法相！
However, there seemed to be some differences compared to before; patterns adorned the surface of this figure.
rán ér yǔ yǐ qián xiāng bǐ ， sì hū lüè yǒu bù tóng zhī chù ， fǎ xiàng de shēn tǐ biǎo miàn ， duō chū le yī xiē huā wén mú yàng de dōng xī 。
然而与以前相比，似乎略有不同之处，法相的身体表面，多出了一些花纹模样的东西。
No, that wasn't right. These weren’t mere patterns but miniature talismans forming a complex array.
bù ， bú duì ， zhè nǎ lǐ shì shén me huā wén ， gēn běn jiù shì yóu bù zhī míng fú wén ， suǒ zǔ chéng de wēi xíng fǎ zhèn 。
不，不对，这哪里是什么花纹，根本就是由不知名符文，所组成的微型法阵。
Clearly, this would enhance the power of the Small Heavenly Palace Divine Figure.
wú yí ， duì yú xiǎo luó tiān fǎ xiàng de shí lì ， jiāng yǒu jiā chéng 。
无疑，对于小罗天法相的实力，将有加成。
This was an upgrade for the Small Heavenly Palace Divine Figure—the Nine Heavens Divine Net Form.
zhè shì xiǎo luó tiān fǎ xiàng de jìn jí 。 jiǔ tiān shén luó xiāng 。
这是小罗天法相的晋级。九天神罗相。
All present were dumbfounded, their heads raised in awe as they watched. At this moment, Lin Xuan’s strength wasn't just a legend among the sect members; it had become an indelible mark deeply etched into their hearts.
suǒ yǒu rén chēng mù jié shé ， yáng qǐ tóu lú ， dāi dāi de kàn zhe zhè yí mù ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， lín xuān de qiáng dà ， zài yún yǐn zōng dì zǐ de xīn lǐ ， bù jǐn jǐn shì yí gè chuán shuō ， ér shì shēn shēn de lào yìn xià le bù kě mó miè de hén jì 。 lín zhǎng lǎo 。 jiù fǎng fú yuǎn gǔ de yī wèi shén dī ， yǒu tā zuò wèi yún yǐn zōng de bì zhù ， běn mén yí dìng huì gèng jiā qiáng dà dì 。
所有人瞠目结舌，扬起头颅，呆呆的看着这一幕，此时此刻，林轩的强大，在云隐宗弟子的心里，不仅仅是一个传说，而是深深的烙印下了不可磨灭的痕迹。林长老。就仿佛远古的一位神袛，有他做为云隐宗的臂助，本门一定会更加强大地。
Elder Lin... seemed like a deity from ancient times. With him as the Cloud Concealment Sect's support, the sect would undoubtedly be even stronger.
lín xuān zhè yī shǒu 。 wán dé shì piào liàng yǐ jí ， shuǎ shuài yùn yòng dé hǎo de huà ， yě néng gòu wèi běn mén tí gāo shì qì 。
林轩这一手。玩得是漂亮以极，耍帅运用得好的话，也能够为本门提高士气。
Lin Xuan's move was impeccable. If used well to boost morale, it could greatly enhance the sect’s spirit.
“ lín zhǎng lǎo shén tōng gài shì 。 tiān xià wú dí 。”
“林长老神通盖世。天下无敌。”
"Master Lin's divine powers are unparalleled in this world."
“ wàn rén yǎng mù ， wēi zhèn huán yǔ 。”
“万人仰慕，威震寰宇。”
"He is revered by ten thousand people and his might shakes the universe."
yī shí jiān ， cǐ qǐ bǐ fú de huān hū shēng zài cì xiǎng qǐ 。
一时间，此起彼伏的欢呼声再次响起。
The cheers erupted once again, echoing through the air.
zhòng dì zǐ suī shì fā zì fèi fǔ ， rán ér lín xuān tīng zài ěr lǐ ， què jué de bú shì yì bān de ròu má ， diào le yī dì de jī pí gē da 。
众弟子虽是发自肺腑，然而林轩听在耳里，却觉得不是一般的肉麻，掉了一地的鸡皮疙瘩。
Though heartfelt, these praises made Lin Xuan feel rather uncomfortable. Goosebumps covered his skin.
yǐ jīng qǐ dào le tí shēng shì qì de xiào guǒ 。
已经起到了提升士气的效果。
He had succeeded in boosting morale.
yú shì tā bù zài zhè lǐ duō zuò dān gē ， shēn xíng yī shǎn ， yào yǎn de yín máng rú liú xīng yì bān ， hěn kuài jiù xiāo shī zài le chóng shān jùn lǐng zhī jiān 。
于是他不在这里多做耽搁，身形一闪，耀眼的银芒如流星一般，很快就消失在了崇山峻岭之间。
Thus, he didn't linger here but flashed away, the dazzling silver light like a meteor, vanishing into the mountains and valleys.
fán shì yǒu lì jiù yǒu bì 。 zài dì zǐ zhōng míng qì tài dà le guǒ rán yě hěn má fán ， lín xuān xīn zhōng gǎn tàn ， zǎo zhī dào dāng chū ， jiù bù yīng gāi zhè me xiǎn yǎn ， ér yīng yǔ shī xiōng shī jiě qiāo qiāo de huí lái 。
凡事有利就有弊。在弟子中名气太大了果然也很麻烦，林轩心中感叹，早知道当初，就不应该这么显眼，而应与师兄师姐悄悄的回来。
Everything has its pros and cons; being too well-known among disciples was indeed troublesome. Lin Xuan sighed inwardly. If only he could have returned quietly with his fellow apprentices.
cǐ dì jù lí zǒng duò běn lái yě jiù bù yuǎn ， lín xuān zhè yī dùn sù quán kāi ， zì rán shì xū yú jiù yǐ jīng huí lái 。
此地距离总舵本来也就不远，林轩这一遁速全开，自然是须臾就已经回来。
This place wasn’t far from the main hall. With full speed, it took him but a moment to return.
zuò wèi yún yǐn zōng de xiū xiān zhě 。 lín xuān duì zǒng duò ， zì rán shì bìng bù mò shēng de 。
做为云隐宗的修仙者。林轩对总舵，自然是并不陌生的。
As a Cloud Concealment Sect cultivator, Lin Xuan was no stranger to the main hall.
dāng nián ， tā chū rù gāi pài ， zài zhè lǐ yě shēng huó le jǐ bǎi jìn qiān nián ， rú jīn gù dì zhòng yóu 。 zǒng duò què shì lěng qīng dào jí chù ， jué dà bù fèn dì zǐ 。 dōu pǎo qù yíng jiē zì jǐ le 。
当年，他初入该派，在这里也生活了几百近千年，如今故地重游。总舵却是冷清到极处，绝大部分弟子。都跑去迎接自己了。
Back then, when he first joined the sect, he had lived here for nearly a thousand years. Now, revisiting this place, the main hall seemed unusually quiet; most disciples were out welcoming him.
piān piān zì jǐ zhè zhèng zhǔ ér ， què yí gè rén huí lái 。
偏偏自己这正主儿，却一个人回来。
Yet, it was just him who returned alone.
píng xīn ér yán ， cǐ shì hái zhēn yǒu xiē guǐ yì ， lín xuān xīn zhōng xiǎng xiǎng ， yě jué de hǎo xiào bù yǐ 。
平心而言，此事还真有些诡异，林轩心中想想，也觉得好笑不已。
In truth, this situation felt rather strange and amusing to Lin Xuan as he pondered on it.
shì yì shí yí ， zǒng duò suī rán méi yǒu bān wǎng bié chù ， dàn zhè miàn jī ， yǔ dāng nián xiāng bǐ ， què kuò dà le hé zhǐ bèi xǔ 。
事易时移，总舵虽然没有搬往别处，但这面积，与当年相比，却扩大了何止倍许。
Though the main hall hadn’t moved elsewhere, its size had expanded many times over compared to what he remembered.
fàng yǎn wàng qù ， dào chù dōu shì qióng lóu yù yǔ ， tíng tái lóu gé ， lín cì zhì bǐ ， jiā shàng chōng yù de líng qì ， yǎn yìng zài chóng shān jùn lǐng lǐ ， bǐ zhī rén jiān xiān jìng ， yě shì chà bú dào nǎ ér qù 。
放眼望去，到处都是琼楼玉宇，亭台楼阁，鳞次栉比，加上充裕的灵气，掩映在崇山峻岭里，比之人间仙境，也是差不到哪儿去。
Looking around, everything was adorned with exquisite pavilions and terraces. The abundance of spiritual energy made the place resemble a heavenly paradise, not much different from an earthly one.
bù guò zuì ràng lín xuān jīng è de shì ， yǔ zì jǐ jì yì zhōng de zǒng duò xiāng bǐ ， rú jīn miàn jī kuò dà le ， líng qì què gèng jiā de nóng yù 。
不过最让林轩惊愕的是，与自己记忆中的总舵相比，如今面积扩大了，灵气却更加的浓郁。
But what truly surprised Lin Xuan was that the area had expanded while the concentration of spiritual energy had become even more intense than before.
zhè shì zěn me huí shì ？
这是怎么回事？
How could this be?
àn lǐ ， yīng gāi shì qià qià xiāng fǎn de 。
按理，应该是恰恰相反的。
Logically, it should have been the opposite.
lín xuān jiāng shén shí fàng chū ， dá àn què bìng bù shén mì ， huò zhě shuō jiǎn dān yǐ jí 。
林轩将神识放出，答案却并不神秘，或者说简单以极。
Lin Xuan released his divine sense. The answer wasn’t mysterious or complicated at all.
zài zhè chóng shān jùn lǐng zhōng ， ǒu ěr huì kàn jiàn yī zhū jiào wéi tè yì de shù mù ， zhī fán yè mào yǐ jí ， ér qiě sàn fà chū chōng yù de líng qì 。
在这崇山峻岭中，偶尔会看见一株较为特异的树木，枝繁叶茂以极，而且散发出充裕的灵气。
Occasionally, one would see a particularly unique tree in these mountains, with lush foliage and abundant spiritual energy.
“ líng yǎn zhī shù 。”
“灵眼之树。”
"Divine Eye Tree."
lín xuān de jiàn shí hé děng guǎng bó ， yī yǎn jiù rèn chū le yǎn qián de bǎo wù 。
林轩的见识何等广博，一眼就认出了眼前的宝物。
With such extensive knowledge, Lin Xuan immediately recognized this treasure before him.
zhè zài xiū xiān jiè yě suàn shì pǒ yǒu míng qì de 。
这在修仙界也算是颇有名气的。
This was well-known in the cultivation world.
líng yǎn zhī quán ， líng yǎn zhī yù ， hái yǒu jiù shì zhè líng yǎn zhī shù 。
灵眼之泉，灵眼之玉，还有就是这灵眼之树。
The Divine Eye Spring, the Divine Eye Jade, and now the Divine Eye Tree.
hé chēng líng yǎn sān bǎo ， běn shēn dōu jù yǒu líng mài de xiào guǒ ， suǒ bù tóng de shì ， zuò yòng fàn wéi hěn zhǎi ， dàn chǎn shēng de líng qì zhī nóng ， yě yuǎn fēi yì bān de líng mài kě yǐ pì měi 。
合称灵眼三宝，本身都具有灵脉的效果，所不同的是，作用范围很窄，但产生的灵气之浓，也远非一般的灵脉可以媲美。
Together they were known as the Three Treasures of the Divine Eye. Each had the effect of a spiritual vein but with a much narrower range. The concentration of spiritual energy produced by them far surpassed that of ordinary veins.
ér qiě gèng wéi xuán miào de shì ， hái néng yǔ pǔ tōng de líng mài ， chǎn shēng hù xiāng dié jiā de xiào guǒ ， cóng ér ràng líng qì de pǐn zhì ， dà dà tí shēng xǔ duō 。
而且更为玄妙的是，还能与普通的灵脉，产生互相叠加的效果，从而让灵气的品质，大大提升许多。
Moreover, these trees could interact with regular veins to enhance the quality of the spiritual energy significantly.
ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， zhěng gè yún yǐn zōng zǒng duò ， lín xuān méi néng wán quán jì shù ， dàn cū lüè yī shù ， líng yǎn zhī shù bú huì shǎo yú wǔ bǎi de shù mù 。
而此时此刻，整个云隐宗总舵，林轩没能完全计数，但粗略一数，灵眼之树不会少于五百的数目。
At this moment, Lin Xuan couldn’t count all the Divine Eye Trees, but he estimated there were at least five hundred.
suī rán zhè wǔ bǎi kē líng yǎn zhī shù ， gè tǐ jiān de chā yì ， pǐn zhì nà yě shì cēn cī bù qǐ 。
虽然这五百颗灵眼之树，个体间的差异，品质那也是参差不起。
Although the individual qualities and conditions varied among these five hundred trees, collecting so many was still a remarkable achievement.
rán ér néng gòu shōu jí dào zhè me duō ， yě shì fēi cháng de liǎo bù qǐ 。
然而能够收集到这么多，也是非常的了不起。
Certainly, in previous years, such a feat would have been impossible for the Cloud Concealment Sect.
zhì shǎo yǐ qián de yún yǐn zōng ， nà shì xiǎng yě bié xiǎng dì 。
至少以前的云隐宗，那是想也别想地。
It seemed that over these millennia, the sect had indeed made significant progress. Ranking twelfth on the list of the Ten Thousand Daoist Palaces wasn’t without reason; it wasn’t just wishful thinking.
kàn lái zhè shù qiān nián ， běn mén hái zhēn shì huò dé le jí dà de fā zhǎn ， néng gòu zài wàn xiǎo xiān gōng de bǎng dān shàng pái míng dì shí èr ， yě shì yǒu dào lǐ ， ér fēi wú dì fàng shǐ 。
看来这数千年，本门还真是获得了极大的发展，能够在万晓仙宫的榜单上排名第十二，也是有道理，而非无的放矢。
With this thought, Lin Xuan didn't waste any time and flew directly into the main hall.
xīn zhōng rú cǐ xiǎng zhe ， lín xuān bìng méi yǒu duō zuò dān gē ， zhí jiē fēi jìn le zǒng duò 。
心中如此想着，林轩并没有多做耽搁，直接飞进了总舵。
Although the protective array hadn’t been activated, there were still numerous restrictions and magical arrays in place at such a crucial location.
hù pài dà zhèn suī rán méi yǒu kāi qǐ ， dàn zǒng duò zhòng dì ， zì rán shì bù fá jìn zhì fǎ zhèn dì 。
护派大阵虽然没有开启，但总舵重地，自然是不乏禁制法阵地。
But Lin Xuan didn’t care. This had nothing to do with his strength; as a Grand Elder, he naturally possessed an identification jade talisman.
bù guò lín xuān bìng bù zài hū ， zhè yǔ tā de shí lì méi yǒu guān xì ， ér shì zuò wèi tài shàng zhǎng lǎo ， zì rán yǒu yòng yú shí bié shēn fèn de yù fú 。
不过林轩并不在乎，这与他的实力没有关系，而是做为太上长老，自然有用于识别身份的玉符。
With this item, no part of the Cloud Concealment Sect was off-limits to him. He could move freely anywhere.
yǒu le cǐ wù ， yún yǐn zōng duì tā lái shuō ， jiù méi yǒu jìn dì le ， suí biàn nǎ yī chù ， dōu kě yǐ chàng xíng wú zǔ 。
有了此物，云隐宗对他来说，就没有禁地了，随便哪一处，都可以畅行无阻。
Of course, Lin Xuan wasn't wandering around aimlessly but went straight to the main hall.
dāng rán ， lín xuān yě méi yǒu luàn guàng de yì tú ， zhí jiē qián wǎng le dà diàn zhōng 。
当然，林轩也没有乱逛的意图，直接前往了大殿中。
Not long after, the silver-eyed girl and the dragon-named boy returned.
bìng méi yǒu děng duō jiǔ ， bú dào bàn zhǎn chá de gōng fu ， yín tóng shào nǚ yǔ lóng xìng shào nián jiù gǎn huí lái le 。
并没有等多久，不到半盏茶的功夫，银瞳少女与龙姓少年就赶回来了。
They didn’t blame Lin Xuan for leaving without saying goodbye; his choice at that time was undoubtedly correct.
tā men bìng méi yǒu guài lín xuān bù cí ér bié ， nà ge shí hòu lín xuān de xuǎn zé jué duì zhèng què 。
他们并没有怪林轩不辞而别，那个时候林轩的选择绝对正确。
At this moment, they had issued a decree. The disciples below dared not come here out of curiosity but instead, young and beautiful maids brought trays laden with divine tea and fruits. Their taste was top-notch.
cǐ shí liǎng rén yǐ chuán xià fǎ yù ， xià miàn de dì zǐ zì rán bù gǎn dào zhè lǐ lái kàn xī qí ， dǎo shì yǒu nián qīng měi mào de shì nǚ shǒu pěng tuō pán ， sòng shàng líng chá guā guǒ ， nà wèi dào ， yě dōu shì yī děng yī de bù cuò 。
此时两人已传下法谕，下面的弟子自然不敢到这里来看稀奇，倒是有年轻美貌的侍女手捧托盘，送上灵茶瓜果，那味道，也都是一等一的不错。
The three sat down separately and resumed their conversation.
sān rén fēn bié luò zuò ， suí hòu chóng xīn xián liáo qǐ lái le 。
三人分别落座，随后重新闲聊起来了。
"Right, fellow apprentices, you didn’t just happen to visit my cave for no reason; there must be something important. Did you come here for a specific purpose?" Lin Xuan asked the question he had been pondering on his journey but decided to wait until they returned to the main hall.
“ duì le ， shī xiōng shī jiě ， nǐ liǎ yīng gāi bú shì jī yuán qiǎo hé ， qià hǎo qù le lín mǒu de dòng fǔ ， zhuān chéng lái zhǎo xiǎo dì ， kě shì yǒu shén me yào shì me ？” lín xuān wèn chū le xīn zhōng de yí huò ， zhè ge wèn tí ， tā zài lù shàng de shí hòu yuán běn jiù xiǎng shuō ， dàn jīng guò yī fān sī suǒ ， hái shì liú dài huí dào zǒng duò 。
“对了，师兄师姐，你俩应该不是机缘巧合，恰好去了林某的洞府，专程来找小弟，可是有什么要事么？”林轩问出了心中的疑惑，这个问题，他在路上的时候原本就想说，但经过一番思索，还是留待回到总舵。
"Haha, Junior Brother, your intelligence is indeed sharp. This time, both of us came together for an important matter," the dragon-named boy's smiling voice echoed in his ears.
“ hē hē ， shī dì guǒ rán cōng míng ， zhè cì wǒ yǔ shī jiě lián mèi ér zhì ， què shí shì yǒu yī xiē yào shì 。” lóng xìng shào nián wēi xiào de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
“呵呵，师弟果然聪明，这次我与师姐联袂而至，确实是有一些要事。”龙姓少年微笑的声音传入耳朵。

The sound initially sounded chaotic but quickly became more orderly, like a tidal wave, reverberating through the rugged mountains and valleys.
Even the clouds in the sky were dispersed by the tremor.
Lin Xuan sighed slightly. With things as they stood now, he couldn't afford to be低调 anymore.
Taking a deep breath, he slowly rose into the air enveloped in a dazzling silver light.
As his altitude increased, so did the brightness of the silver glow.
A noble and magnificent radiance shone out, making it impossible for anyone to look directly at him. Simultaneously, an ominous spiritual pressure descended from above.
This pressure gradually intensified. However, since he was facing fellow sect members, Lin Xuan modified it slightly—making them feel his power without the oppressive feeling that comes with confronting a higher-ranking existence.

Although the individual qualities and conditions varied among these five hundred trees, collecting so many was still a remarkable achievement.
Certainly, in previous years, such a feat would have been impossible for the Cloud Concealment Sect.
It seemed that over these millennia, the sect had indeed made significant progress. Ranking twelfth on the list of the Ten Thousand Daoist Palaces wasn’t without reason; it wasn’t just wishful thinking.
With this thought, Lin Xuan didn't waste any time and flew directly into the main hall.
Although the protective array hadn’t been activated, there were still numerous restrictions and magical arrays in place at such a crucial location.
But Lin Xuan didn’t care. This had nothing to do with his strength; as a Grand Elder, he naturally possessed an identification jade talisman.
With this item, no part of the Cloud Concealment Sect was off-limits to him. He could move freely anywhere.
Of course, Lin Xuan wasn't wandering around aimlessly but went straight to the main hall.
Not long after, the silver-eyed girl and the dragon-named boy returned.
They didn’t blame Lin Xuan for leaving without saying goodbye; his choice at that time was undoubtedly correct.
At this moment, they had issued a decree. The disciples below dared not come here out of curiosity but instead, young and beautiful maids brought trays laden with divine tea and fruits. Their taste was top-notch.
The three sat down separately and resumed their conversation.
"Right, fellow apprentices, you didn’t just happen to visit my cave for no reason; there must be something important. Did you come here for a specific purpose?" Lin Xuan asked the question he had been pondering on his journey but decided to wait until they returned to the main hall.
"Haha, Junior Brother, your intelligence is indeed sharp. This time, both of us came together for an important matter," the dragon-named boy's smiling voice echoed in his ears.
