bǎo shé de shēng yīn ， píng jìng yǐ jí ， bù guò nà yǔ qì ， què ràng rén bù hán ér lì 。
宝蛇的声音，平静以极，不过那语气，却让人不寒而栗。
The snake's voice was calm, but the tone sent shivers down one's spine.
tā què shí bèi lín xuān gěi rě huǒ 。
她确实被林轩给惹火。
She had indeed been provoked by Lin Xuan. This little brat was simply too overconfident for his own good. To dare scheme against him in such a situation... he deserved no mercy. She would make him understand that there were no regrets in the cultivation world.
zhè xiǎo jiā huo ， wèi miǎn yě tài bù zhī dào tiān gāo dì hòu le 。
这小家伙，未免也太不知道天高地厚了。
This outcome surprised everyone else as well. While Lin Xuan's strength was temporarily set aside, his courage was something ordinary cultivators could never match. Even for those at the Tribulation Transcendence stage, such a bold move was extremely rare. It was akin to dancing on the edge of a knife.
zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng ， hái gǎn suàn jì zì jǐ 。
这种情况，还敢算计自己。
Most people shook their heads in silent disapproval and gloating. The involvement of Frosty Moon True Man and the Queen of Qingqiu had already brought some turning points to the situation. With these two watching over them, Tian Yuan might not dare to strike first. However, this Lin Xuan was clearly disregarding his own life, provoking the snake even further.
shuō bù zhī sǐ huó ， yě bù wèi guò ， tā yào ràng tā zhī dào ， xiū xiān jiè ， shì méi yǒu hòu huǐ yào mài de 。
说不知死活，也不为过，她要让他知道，修仙界，是没有后悔药卖的。
Even Frosty Moon True Man frowned slightly. This young man's actions were indeed a bit excessive.
zhè zhǒng jié guǒ ， yě ràng qí tā rén yì wài yǐ jí ， lín xuān de shí lì zàn qiě bù tí ， jiù zhè yǒng qì ， nà shì yì bān rén jué duì wú fǎ xiàng bǐ 。
这种结果，也让其他人意外以极，林轩的实力暂且不提，就这勇气，那是一般人绝对无法相比。
In contrast, the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox reacted differently. Her face still wore a faint smile.
jiù suàn tā men zhè xiē dù jié jí bié de xiū xiān zhě ， yì bān qíng kuàng xià ， yě jué bù gǎn rú cǐ zhāo rě zhēn mó shǐ zǔ ， nà jiǎn zhí shì zài dāo jiān shàng tiào wǔ 。
就算他们这些渡劫级别的修仙者，一般情况下，也绝不敢如此招惹真魔始祖，那简直是在刀尖上跳舞。
Fortune favors the bold!
dāng rán ， dà bù fèn rén zé shì àn àn yáo tóu ， xìng zāi lè huò ， yuán běn ， guǎng hán zhēn rén yǔ qīng qiū guó zhǔ de chā shǒu ， yǐ ràng shì qíng duō shǎo chū xiàn le yī xiē zhuǎn jī ， yǒu zhè liǎng rén zài yī páng kàn zhe ， nà tiān yuán bù yí dìng gǎn tòng xià shā shǒu 。
当然，大部分人则是暗暗摇头，幸灾乐祸，原本，广寒真人与青丘国主的插手，已让事情多少出现了一些转机，有这两人在一旁看着，那天元不一定敢痛下杀手。
She understood Lin Xuan's purpose behind this move. It was undeniable that such courage and strength were rare among ordinary cultivators. If he could survive this crisis with these abilities, he would surely become an important figure in time.
rán ér zhè lín xiǎo zi piān piān bù zhī sǐ huó ， zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng xià hái yào zhāo rě bǎo shé ， nà bú shì gù yì jiāng zì jǐ wǎng sǐ lù shàng dài shì shén me 。
然而这林小子偏偏不知死活，这种情况下还要招惹宝蛇，那不是故意将自己往死路上带是什么。
Xiang'er had indeed made a good assessment of him.
lián guǎng hán zhēn rén dōu zhòu le zhòu méi tou 。
连广寒真人都皱了皱眉头。
However, the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox's optimism did not mean she believed Lin Xuan would succeed. One needed both courage and strength to turn danger into safety. Otherwise, it was just foolishness.
zhè lín xiǎo zi ， rú cǐ zuò ， shì yǒu yī xiē tài guò 。
这林小子，如此做，是有一些太过。
Whether Lin Xuan was brave or foolish depended on whether he could defeat Tian Yuan.
ér jiǔ wěi tiān hú de fǎn yìng què bù xiāng tóng 。
而九尾天狐的反应却不相同。
Ultimately, in the cultivation world, actions spoke louder than words.
liǎn shàng yī jiù dài zhe dàn dàn de xiào róng 。
脸上依旧带着淡淡的笑容。
With no room for turning back now, Ice Spirit turned her head towards Nai Long True Man: "Friend Nai Long, there should be a suitable place for combat on Penglai Immortal Island. Otherwise, if Tian Yuan and this young man start fighting here, it might disrupt your wedding banquet."
fù guì xiǎn zhōng qiú ！
富贵险中求！
"There are certainly places for such contests," Nai Long True Man sighed. Even though Lin Xuan's actions seemed bold, he had other choices that didn't have to lead to a deadly confrontation.
tā yǐ míng bái lín xuān zhè me zuò de mù dì shì shén me 。
她已明白林轩这么做的目的是什么。
Although the saying "place me in a desperate situation and I will find a way out" was true, Lin Xuan could have chosen not to push things so far. This young man was still too inexperienced...
bù dé bù shuō ， yì bān de xiū xiān zhě ， wú lùn rú hé ， yě shì bú huì yǒu zhè yàng yǒng qì de 。
不得不说，一般的修仙者，无论如何，也是不会有这样勇气的。
Nai Long True Man's gaze towards Lin Xuan carried concern. However, he couldn't say much now. It was all up to Lin Xuan's own choices and the consequences of his actions.
zhè yàng de shí lì ， zhè yàng de dǎn pò ， cǐ zi ruò néng jiāng yǎn qián de wēi jī dù guò ， jiā yǐ shí rì ， bì dìng chéng dà qì de 。
这样的实力，这样的胆魄，此子若能将眼前的危机度过，加以时日，必定成大器的。
He sincerely hoped this young man could truly stand against an ancient demon at the Tribulation Transcendence stage.
xiāng ér nà yā tou ， yǎn guāng què rán bù cuò 。
香儿那丫头，眼光确然不错。
As he thought this, he moved without hesitation. His sleeves fluttered, releasing a burst of emerald light that paused before revealing an extremely ancient scroll.
dàn jiǔ wěi tiān hú zhè yàng xiǎng ， yě bù yì wèi zhe ， tā jiù yí dìng kàn hǎo lín xuān le 。
但九尾天狐这样想，也不意味着，她就一定看好林轩了。
Those present recognized it immediately. Though unremarkable on the surface, its appearance seemed to alter spatial laws slightly.
zài yǒu dǎn pò ， yě yào yǒu shí lì zuò hòu dùn ， cái néng huà xiǎn wéi yí 。
再有胆魄，也要有实力做后盾，才能化险为夷。
Was this a space-related treasure?
fǒu zé ， nà jiù bù jiào yǒng gǎn ， ér jiào chǔn huò 。
否则，那就不叫勇敢，而叫蠢货。
Before anyone could fully process this thought, Nai Long True Man reached out and the scroll's spirit light flickered as it slowly unfurled. A lush landscape unfolded before their eyes.
ér lín xuān jiū jìng suàn nǎ yī zhǒng ， jiù yào kàn ， tā shì fǒu zhēn néng dǎ bài tiān yuán le 。
而林轩究竟算哪一种，就要看，他是否真能打败天元了。
The scroll depicted a range of undulating mountains stretching far into the distance. Each mountain was unique, exuding an aura of grandeur...
guī gēn jié dǐ 。 xiū xiān jiè shì yòng shí lì shuō huà de 。
归根结底。修仙界是用实力说话的。
"Must臾 Scroll!"
ér shì qíng dào le zhè yī bù ， zì rán méi yǒu shén me zhuǎn huán de yú dì le 。
而事情到了这一步，自然没有什么转圜的余地了。
"Not just any Must臾 treasure; this is the highest stage of Must臾 Heavenly Realm Scroll!"
bīng pò zhuǎn guò tóu ：“ nài lóng dào yǒu ， péng lái xiān dǎo shàng ， yīng gāi yǒu shì hé dòu fǎ de chǎng suǒ ， fǒu zé tiān yuán yǔ zhè lín xiǎo zi dòng shǒu ， ruò shì jiǎo le dào yǒu de hūn yàn ， nà jiù bù hǎo le 。”
冰魄转过头：“鼐龙道友，蓬莱仙岛上，应该有适合斗法的场所，否则天元与这林小子动手，若是搅了道友的婚宴，那就不好了。”
Excited exclamations filled the air. For even ancient demons at the Tribulation Transcendence stage, such a scroll was highly desirable.
“ dòu fǎ de chǎng hé ， nà zì rán shì yǒu de 。”
“斗法的场合，那自然是有的。”
However, no one dared to have ill intentions towards Nai Long True Man. It would be suicide to try and snatch something from him.
nài lóng zhēn rén tàn le kǒu qì 。 jí biàn shì zài kàn lái 。 lín xuān cǐ jǔ ， yě shāo wēi tuō dà le yī xiē 。
鼐龙真人叹了口气。即便是在看来。林轩此举，也稍微托大了一些。
"Come on, two friends," Nai Long True Man said, pointing out another spell. The Must臾 Heavenly Realm Scroll's spirit light intensified as a misty aura rose from it.
suī rán sú huà shuō dé hǎo ， zhì zhī sǐ dì ér hòu shēng 。
虽然俗话说得好，置之死地而后生。
"Go!"
dàn lín xuān yuán běn yǒu bié de xuǎn zé 。 bù yòng zhēn jiāng shì qíng nòng dào nǐ sǐ wǒ huó 。
但林轩原本有别的选择。不用真将事情弄到你死我活。
Nai Long True Man waved his sleeves and stepped into the scroll first. Qianqian Immortal Maiden followed without hesitation.
zhè xiǎo jiā huo ， hái shì tài nián qīng qì shèng le …… nài lóng wàng xiàng lín xuān de yǎn shén ， lüè dài dān xīn zhī yì 。 dàn shì dào rú jīn ， tā yě bù hǎo shuō shén me ， yī qiè dōu shì lín xuān zì jǐ de xuǎn zé ， ér měi yí gè rén ， dōu yào wèi zì jǐ de xíng wéi fù zé 。
这小家伙，还是太年轻气盛了……鼐龙望向林轩的眼神，略带担心之意。但事到如今，他也不好说什么，一切都是林轩自己的选择，而每一个人，都要为自己的行为负责。
Next was Ice Spirit. The two ancient demons were naturally not afraid of Nai Long True Man setting traps within.
dàn yuàn zhè xiǎo zi ， zhēn néng duì kàng dù jié jí bié de gǔ mó 。
但愿这小子，真能对抗渡劫级别的古魔。
"You'll regret this soon," Tian Yuan turned to Lin Xuan with a sinister smile, then vanished beside the other two ancient demons.
xīn zhōng rú cǐ xiǎng zhe ， tā de dòng zuò ， què bìng bù hán hù 。
心中如此想着，他的动作，却并不含糊。
"Who regrets it? It's still uncertain."
xiù páo yī fú 。
袖袍一拂。
Before the fight began, Lin Xuan wouldn't back down. His cold voice carried no fear as he retorted.
yī tuán bì guāng jī shè ér chū ， lüè yī zhuǎn zhé 。 jiù tíng xià lái le ， guāng máng shōu liǎn ， què shì yī fú jí qí gǔ piáo de juàn zhóu yìng rù yǎn lián 。
一团碧光激射而出，略一转折。就停下来了，光芒收敛，却是一幅极其古朴的卷轴映入眼帘。
"Hmph, how long can you keep up this bravado?"
zài chǎng zhī rén kě dōu shí huò ， zhè juàn zhóu biǎo miàn shàng kàn ， bù qǐ yǎn ， dàn zài tā chū xiàn de yī shùn jiān ， què gǎn jué dào le yì diǎn kōng jiān fǎ zé de gǎi biàn 。
在场之人可都识货，这卷轴表面上看，不起眼，但在它出现的一瞬间，却感觉到了一点空间法则的改变。
Tian Yuan was clearly trying to wear him down with words. As soon as his voice fell silent, he vanished completely.
nán dào shuō 。 zhè shì yī jiàn kōng jiān lèi de bǎo wù ？
难道说。这是一件空间类的宝物？
"Lin Xuan brother."
zhè ge niàn tou shàng wèi zhuǎn guò ， jiù jiàn nài lóng zhēn rén shēn shǒu yì diǎn ， nà juàn zhóu líng guāng kuáng shǎn ， huǎn huǎn zhǎn kāi 。
这个念头尚未转过，就见鼐龙真人伸手一点，那卷轴灵光狂闪，缓缓展开。
Just as Lin Xuan was about to follow, a sweet voice called out. Turning around, he saw Xiang'er from the Queen of Qingqiu's side, her face filled with concern.
yù yù cōng cōng de jǐng sè yìng rù yǎn lián 。
郁郁葱葱的景色映入眼帘。
Her delicate features were marked with worry for him.
nà juàn zhóu shàng suǒ huì zhì de ， jū rán shì yī zuò zuò mián yán qǐ fú de qún shān 。
那卷轴上所绘制的，居然是一座座绵延起伏的群山。
Though she had seen his strength before, against an ancient demon at the Tribulation Transcendence stage... could Lin Xuan brother really win?
wān yán qǐ fú 。 yán shēn dào jí yuǎn zhī chù ， měi yī zuò shān dōu gè bù xiāng tóng 。 yī gǔ xióng hún dà qì de wèi dào ， pū miàn ér chū ……“ xū yú tú ！”
蜿蜒起伏。延伸到极远之处，每一座山都各不相同。一股雄浑大气的味道，扑面而出……“须臾图！”
The saying "worry can cloud judgment" applied to Xiang'er as well.
“ bú duì ， hái bú shì pǔ tōng de xū yú bǎo wù ， ér shì zuì gāo jiē de xū yú dòng tiān tú ！”
“不对，还不是普通的须臾宝物，而是最高阶的须臾洞天图！”
On the other side, Lady Xiaohou Lan shared a similar expression. Lin Xuan's kindness and loyalty had saved her in the mortal world, and they were sworn siblings now. She naturally worried for his honor.
yī shí jiān ， jīng hū shēng cǐ qǐ bǐ fú ， xū yú dòng tiān tú ， duì yú nǎ pà shì dù jié jí bié de lǎo guài wù ， nà yě shì xīn xiàng wǎng zhī de 。
一时间，惊呼声此起彼伏，须臾洞天图，对于哪怕是渡劫级别的老怪物，那也是心向往之的。
"Don't worry; I have it under control."
dāng rán ， dà jiā yǎn chán guī yǎn chán ， què bù gǎn qǐ bié yàng de xīn lǐ ， nài lóng zhēn rén wēi míng yuǎn bō ， xiǎng cóng tā shǒu lǐ hǔ kǒu duó shí ， nà bú shì zhǎo sǐ ？
当然，大家眼馋归眼馋，却不敢起别样的心理，鼐龙真人威名远播，想从他手里虎口夺食，那不是找死？
Lin Xuan mouthed something without speaking, using the technique of voice transmission. He couldn't explain much to the two girls at this moment. The outcome would be clear once the fight began.
“ zǒu ba ， liǎng wèi dào yǒu ， kě yǐ dào zhè huà zhōng yī dòu ！”
“走吧，两位道友，可以到这画中一斗！”
With a reassuring look, Lin Xuan entered the Must臾 Heavenly Realm Scroll. Xiang'er and Lady Xiaohou Lan followed closely behind.
nài lóng zhēn rén huà yīn wèi luò ， yī dào fǎ jué xiàng qián diǎn chū ， nà xū yú dòng tiān tú líng guāng dà zuò ， yī tuán yīn yūn xiān qì ， yóu shàng miàn téng shēng ér qǐ 。
鼐龙真人话音未落，一道法诀向前点出，那须臾洞天图灵光大做，一团氤氲仙气，由上面腾升而起。
Next were Frosty Moon True Man and Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox, then the remaining old demons.
“ jí ！”
“疾！”
The guests who had come to congratulate him were already curious about this spectacle. No one wanted to miss it, so they all entered the Must臾 Heavenly Realm Scroll.
nài lóng zhēn rén yòu shì yī zhǐ xiàng qián diǎn qù ， suí hòu nà xiān qì rú tóng shāo kāi le de shuǐ yì bān ， fān yǒng fèi téng qǐ lái 。
鼐龙真人又是一指向前点去，随后那仙气如同烧开了的水一般，翻涌沸腾起来。
Only a few maids remained in the vast cloud sea square.
gū gū gū de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà xiān qì fān yǒng piàn kè ， jū rán huàn huà chū yī shàn mén chū lái le 。
咕咕咕的声音传入耳朵，那仙气翻涌片刻，居然幻化出一扇门出来了。
Meanwhile, once Lin Xuan stepped into the scroll, he felt an abundance of qi. As the light before his eyes faded, he found himself facing undulating mountain ranges.
The snake's voice was calm, but the tone sent shivers down one's spine.
She had indeed been provoked by Lin Xuan. This little brat was simply too overconfident for his own good. To dare scheme against him in such a situation... he deserved no mercy. She would make him understand that there were no regrets in the cultivation world.
