shān shì xióng qí ， wān yán qū zhé ， yán shēn xiàng tiān jì zhī chù ， lín xuān jiāng shén shí fàng chū ， rán ér jí biàn yǐ tā yuǎn chāo tóng jiē xiū shì de shén shí qiáng dù ， yě gēn běn gǎn jué bú dào nà shān mài de jìn tóu ， jiū jìng wèi yú hé chù 。
山势雄奇，蜿蜒曲折，延伸像天际之处，林轩将神识放出，然而即便以他远超同阶修士的神识强度，也根本感觉不到那山脉的尽头，究竟位于何处。
The mountain range was majestic, winding and twisting, extending into the horizon. Lin Xuan released his divine sense, but even with his far superior divine sense compared to other cultivators of the same rank, he could not feel where the end of the mountains lay.
bù kuì shì dù jié hòu qī cún zài ná chū lái de bǎo wù 。
不愧是渡劫后期存在拿出来的宝物。
Indeed, this treasure from a late-stage realm survivor was no ordinary item.
zhè xū yú dòng tiān tú zhōng de kōng jiān ， yuǎn bǐ lín xuān xiǎng xiàng de hái yào guǎng kuò ， yòng yú zuò wéi jué dòu de chǎng suǒ ， nà shì zài hǎo bù guò 。
这须臾洞天图中的空间，远比林轩想象的还要广阔，用于作为决斗的场所，那是再好不过。
The spatial dimensions within the Momentary Cavern Diagram were much larger than Lin Xuan had imagined. This place would be perfect for their duel.
lín xuān rú cǐ zhè bān de xiǎng zhe ， suí hòu biàn fā xiàn nài lóng zhēn rén ， qiān qiān xiān zi ， yǐ jí xiān jìn lái de bǎo shé bīng pò ， hái yǒu tiān yuán nà jiā huo ， dōu zhàn zài yī cè 。
林轩如此这般的想着，随后便发现鼐龙真人，芊芊仙子，以及先进来的宝蛇冰魄，还有天元那家伙，都站在一侧。
With these thoughts in mind, Lin Xuan noticed that Nai Long Immortal, Qianqian Fairy, and the advanced snake Ice Soul were all standing on one side. The spatial fluctuations behind them didn't cease; even Guang Han Immortal, the ruler of Qing Qiu Kingdom, and other guests had all entered.
bèi hòu de kōng jiān bō dòng yě méi yǒu duàn guò ， bāo kuò guǎng hán zhēn rén ， qīng qiū guó zhǔ ， hái yǒu qí tā de hè kè ， quán dōu yī yī de pǎo jìn lái le 。
背后的空间波动也没有断过，包括广寒真人，青丘国主，还有其他的贺客，全都一一的跑进来了。
Clearly, no matter their intentions, none wanted to miss this spectacle.
xiǎn rán ， bù guǎn xīn zhōng huái zhe de mù dì shì shén me ， shuí yě bù yuàn yì cuò guò zhè yī cháng hǎo xì 。
显然，不管心中怀着的目的是什么，谁也不愿意错过这一场好戏。
Nai Long's brows furrowed slightly as he wasn't very optimistic about Lin Xuan either. The others were naturally less hopeful. Only the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox seemed to have faith in Lin Xuan.
nài lóng de méi tóu wēi wēi zhòu qǐ ， jí biàn shì tā ， yě bù tài kàn hǎo lín xuān de 。
鼐龙的眉头微微皱起，即便是他，也不太看好林轩的。
However, at this point, there was no turning back.
qí tā rén gèng bù bì shuō ， wéi yī duì lín xuān huái yǒu xìn xīn de kǒng pà jiù zhǐ yǒu jiǔ wěi tiān hú 。
其他人更不必说，唯一对林轩怀有信心的恐怕就只有九尾天狐。
Nai Long Immortal flashed through the air, his body surrounded by a burst of spiritual light as he flew towards the depths of the mountains.
bù guò shì qíng dào le zhè yī bù ， xiǎn rán yǐ méi yǒu wǎn huí de yú dì 。
不过事情到了这一步，显然已没有挽回的余地。
The spatial dimensions within the Momentary Cavern Diagram were vast. The entrance wasn't the best place for their duel.
nài lóng zhēn rén shēn xíng yī shǎn ， hún shēn líng máng zhòu qǐ ， xiàng shān mài de shēn chù fēi qù 。
鼐龙真人身形一闪，浑身灵芒骤起，像山脉的深处飞去。
Without further ado, the others followed suit, each displaying their abilities and closely following behind Nai Long Immortal.
xū yú dòng tiān tú zhōng de kōng jiān jí wéi guǎng bó ， rù kǒu xiǎn rán bìng bú shì zuì shì hé jué dòu de chǎng suǒ 。
须臾洞天图中的空间极为广博，入口显然并不是最适合决斗的场所。
A short while passed quickly.
qí tā rén yě bù duō shuō ， gè zhǎn shén tōng ， jǐn jǐn gēn zài hòu miàn jiù xíng le 。
其他人也不多说，各展神通，紧紧跟在后面就行了。
Led by Nai Long Immortal, a valley appeared in front of them.
yī zhǎn chá de shí jiān hěn kuài guò qù le 。
一盏茶的时间很快过去了。
It was an extremely spacious valley, at least several hundred acres. The surrounding mountains encircled it.
yóu nài lóng zhēn rén dài mǎo lù ， qián fāng chū xiàn le yí gè shān gǔ 。
由鼐龙真人带冇路，前方出现了一个山谷。
Lin Xuan's gaze swept over the scene, noticing that this valley differed from the others he had flown past. The peaks around were clearly reinforced with some form of immensely powerful禁制, their solidity far exceeding ordinary mountain ranges.
jí wéi kuān kuò de shān gǔ 。
极为宽阔的山谷。
If they were to fight here, the environment would be favorable for Lin Xuan. He spoke without pretense; the density of the spiritual energy here was no less than that of Penglai Immortal Island. For him to face an ancient demon and gain a significant advantage, it was only natural.
fàng yǎn wàng qù ， zhì shǎo yǒu shù bǎi mǔ ， zhōu wéi bèi qún shān wéi rào zhe 。
放眼望去，至少有数百亩，周围被群山围绕着。
"I have nothing to say..."
lín xuān mù guāng sǎo guò ， fā xiàn zhè shān gǔ yǔ gāng gāng fēi guò de qí tā dì fāng lüè yǒu bù tóng ， zhōu wéi de shān fēng ， míng xiǎn yòng mǒu zhǒng jué qiáng de jìn zhì jiā gù guò ， qí jiē shí chéng dù 。 yuǎn fēi yì bān shān fēng kě yǐ bǐ nǐ de 。
林轩目光扫过，发现这山谷与刚刚飞过的其他地方略有不同，周围的山峰，明显用某种绝强的禁制加固过，其结实程度。远非一般山峰可以比拟的。
Tian Yuan's brows furrowed slightly but didn't object. The dense spiritual energy was beneficial for human cultivators, but what did that matter? A mere Fourth Stage Soul Formation cultivator thought he could defeat this ancient demon, a grand demon progenitor—just a daydream.
ruò zài zài zhè lǐ dòu fǎ 。 huán jìng dǎo shì bù cuò ， lín xuān rú cǐ zhè bān de xiǎng zhe ， ér zhè ge niàn tou shàng wèi zhuǎn guò 。 jiù jiàn nài lóng zhēn rén dùn guāng yī huǎn ， guǒ rán zài shān gǔ zhōng jiàng luò xià lái 。
若在在这里斗法。环境倒是不错，林轩如此这般的想着，而这个念头尚未转过。就见鼐龙真人遁光一缓，果然在山谷中降落下来。
Confident in his victory, Tian Yuan didn’t want to argue over minor details with Lin Xuan. However, before he could finish speaking, Ice Soul interjected:
qí tā rén jiàn le ， nǎ lǐ hái bù zhī dào nài lóng de yòng yì 。 yě dōu mò qì de luò dào le shān gǔ lǐ 。
其他人见了，哪里还不知道鼐龙的用意。也都默契的落到了山谷里。
"Wait, since it's a duel, the provided venue should be fair for both parties. There is no trace of demon energy here, yet the spiritual energy is so abundant. Is Nai Long Immortal biased or just pretending to be ignorant?"
“ rú hé ， liǎng wèi kě yǐ zài zhè lǐ yī jué shèng fù 。”
“如何，两位可以在这里一决胜负。”
A true demon progenitor actually cared about such matters. Even the human cultivators present were surprised, as were the snake and Tian Yuan.
nài lóng zhēn rén dàn dàn de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
鼐龙真人淡淡的声音传入耳朵。
"Big Sister..."
shì qíng dào le zhè yī bù ， yě zhǐ yǒu kàn lín xiǎo zi de shí lì jiū jìng rú hé ， tā jí biàn shì péng lái xiān dǎo de zhǔ rén yě bù hǎo kāi kǒu duō shuō 。
事情到了这一步，也只有看林小子的实力究竟如何，他即便是蓬莱仙岛的主人也不好开口多说。
"Don't speak, I will decide."
zǒng zhī yī qiè jìng guān qí biàn ， liǎng rén yòng shí lì shuō huà jiù xíng le 。
总之一切静观其变，两人用实力说话就行了。
Hearing Ice Soul's words, the snake remained silent.
“ huán jìng hěn hǎo ， lín mǒu shí fēn mǎn yì 。”
“环境很好，林某十分满意。”
As they say, better safe than sorry. Although Ice Soul didn’t know Lin Xuan’s current strength, she had been eradicated by this boy when a fragment of her soul descended to the Twelve States of Tianyun thousands of years ago. His methods left an indelible impression on her—far superior to those of his peers.
lín xuān shuài xiān kāi kǒu le ， zhè huà dào bú shì yìng fù ， cǐ dì líng qì zhī nóng ， bǐ zhī péng lái xiān dǎo yě bù xùn sè 。 zài zhè lǐ duì shàng gǔ mó ， duì zì jǐ lái shuō ， zì rán dà yǒu hǎo chù 。 wú xíng zhōng zhàn le bù shǎo pián yi 。
林轩率先开口了，这话倒不是应付，此地灵气之浓，比之蓬莱仙岛也不逊色。在这里对上古魔，对自己来说，自然大有好处。无形中占了不少便宜。
After millennia, Lin Xuan had advanced from the Profound Concealment stage to the Fourth Stage Soul Formation. While he was still insignificant in her eyes, it wasn’t clear if Tian Yuan had enough confidence.
“ wǒ yě méi yǒu ……”
“我也没有……”
Otherwise, with this boy’s cunning nature, he wouldn’t have agreed so readily.
tiān yuán méi tóu wēi zhòu 。 dàn yě méi yǒu tí chū yì yì ， rú cǐ nóng yù de líng qì 。 duì rén zú xiū xiān zhě shì yǒu lì ， dàn nà yòu rú hé ， zhàn zhè diǎn pián yi ， yī qū qū de fēn shén qī xiǎo zi ， jiù xiǎng dǎ bài zì jǐ zhè gǔ mó shèng zǔ ， nà bù guò shì bái rì zuò mèng 。
天元眉头微皱。但也没有提出异议，如此浓郁的灵气。对人族修仙者是有利，但那又如何，占这点便宜，一区区的分神期小子，就想打败自己这古魔圣祖，那不过是白日做梦。
Although she believed Tian Yuan had a greater chance of winning, one must always consider the worst-case scenario. What if they lost?
tiān yuán xìn xīn shí zú ， suǒ yǐ ， yě jiù bù xiǎng zài xì zhī mò jié shàng yǔ lín xuān luō suo ， rán ér tā huà méi yǒu shuō wán ， páng biān de bīng pò què kāi kǒu le ：
天元信心十足，所以，也就不想在细枝末节上与林轩啰嗦，然而他话没有说完，旁边的冰魄却开口了：
That would be like trying to steal chicken and losing your hand in the process. Not only couldn’t she cause trouble for him, but she’d have to offer a Nine-Turn Spirit Snake Pill.
“ qiě màn ， jì rán shì jué dòu ， nà tí gōng de chǎng suǒ ， duì shuāng fāng zǒng yīng gāi shì gōng píng de ， zhè lǐ yī sī mó qì yě wú ， líng qì què chōng yù dào rú cǐ dì bù ， nài lóng dào yǒu shì xīn yǒu piān pǒ ， hái shì gù yì zhuāng shǎ ne ？”
“且慢，既然是决斗，那提供的场所，对双方总应该是公平的，这里一丝魔气也无，灵气却充裕到如此地步，鼐龙道友是心有偏颇，还是故意装傻呢？”
Such a result was something Ice Soul desperately wanted to avoid.
táng táng zhēn mó shǐ zǔ ， jū rán jì jiào qǐ zhè ge ， bié shuō zài chǎng de rén lèi xiū xiān zhě ， jiù suàn shì yǔ tā tóng lái de bǎo shé yǔ tiān yuán ， liǎn shàng yě lù chū jǐ fēn chà yì zhī sè 。
堂堂真魔始祖，居然计较起这个，别说在场的人类修仙者，就算是与她同来的宝蛇与天元，脸上也露出几分诧异之色。
Now that Lin Xuan’s duel with Tian Yuan had become inevitable, she would try her best to increase Tian Yuan's chances of winning.
“ jiě jiě ……”
“姐姐……”
Her efforts were commendable, though they seemed petty on the surface.
“ nǐ bié kāi kǒu ， běn gōng zì yǒu dìng duó 。”
“你别开口，本宫自有定夺。”
Sure enough, Nai Long Immortal’s voice betrayed his surprise: "I am a human cultivator; how could I possibly have demon energy on me? This Momentary Cavern Diagram is excellent. I only have one. If you are dissatisfied, you can try to change the natural forces of this place."
tīng bīng pò zhè yàng shuō ， bǎo shé zhǐ hǎo guāi guāi de bì zuǐ bù yán le 。
听冰魄这样说，宝蛇只好乖乖的闭嘴不言了。
"Humph, your words are an insult to this demon progenitor. It doesn’t matter. As long as you say that, it’s fine with me."
sú huà shuō ， xiǎo xīn wú dà cuò ， bīng pò suī rán bù zhī dào lín xuān rú jīn shí lì rú hé ， dàn dāng nián tā yī lǚ fēn hún jiàng lín tiān yún shí èr zhōu ， què jiù shì bèi zhè xiǎo zi miè chú 。
俗话说，小心无大错，冰魄虽然不知道林轩如今实力如何，但当年她一缕分魂降临天云十二州，却就是被这小子灭除。
Ice Soul's cold voice echoed in their ears. She then waved her hand, and several dark-colored array flags flew out, vanishing into the surrounding mountain walls.
nà shí lín xuān de shǒu duàn gěi tā yìn xiàng shēn kè ， zǒng zhī shì yuǎn shèng tóng jiē xiū xiān zhě 。
那时林轩的手段给她印象深刻，总之是远胜同阶修仙者。
Incredible scenes unfolded: dense demon energy appeared from nowhere, spreading throughout the valley until it filled every corner.
shù qiān nián guò qù le ， lín xiǎo zi yǐ yóu dāng nián de dòng xuán ， jìn jiē dào fēn shén hòu qī ， suī rán zài tā yǎn lǐ ， yī jiù shì bù zhí yī tí ， dàn tiān yuán shì fǒu yǒu shí zú de bǎ wò ， nà kě bù tài hǎo shuō 。
数千年过去了，林小子已由当年的洞玄，进阶到分神后期，虽然在她眼里，依旧是不值一提，但天元是否有十足的把握，那可不太好说。
The original spiritual energy was already very dense, so it wasn’t driven away but mixed with the demon energy. Both energies were present in equal amounts, creating a perfectly balanced environment.
fǒu zé yǐ zhè xiǎo zi jiǎo huá de xìng gé ， bú huì dā yìng dé nà yàng gān cuì de 。
否则以这小子狡猾的性格，不会答应得那样干脆的。
This process might seem simple, but to describe it as miraculous would be an understatement.
suī rán zài tā kàn lái ， tiān yuán yī jiù yíng miàn jū duō ， dàn fán shì zǒng yào kǎo lǜ zuì huài de jié guǒ ， wàn yī luò bài le yòu rú hé ？
虽然在她看来，天元依旧赢面居多，但凡事总要考虑最坏的结果，万一落败了又如何？
Lin Xuan didn’t need to say anything; even Nai Long Immortal and Guang Han Immortal turned pale. They recognized such things well.
nà kě zhēn shì tōu jī bù chéng shí bǎ mǐ ， bù jǐn bù néng zhǎo tā de má fán ， yào de fèng shàng yī méi jiǔ zhuǎn líng shé dān 。
那可真是偷鸡不成蚀把米，不仅不能找他的麻烦，要得奉上一枚九转灵蛇丹。
"Xuan Tian聚魔大阵."
zhè yàng de jié guǒ ， shì bīng pò jué bù yuàn yì kàn dào de 。
这样的结果，是冰魄绝不愿意看到的。
"No, the Xuan Tian聚魔大阵 is far more complex and covers a much larger area. This should be just a simplified version of the禁制."
bù guò xiàn zài lín xuān yǔ tiān yuán de jué dòu yǐ chéng dìng jú ， tā jiù zhǐ yǒu jǐn liàng xiǎng bàn fǎ ràng tiān yuán yíng de jī huì dà yī xiē 。
不过现在林轩与天元的决斗已成定局，她就只有尽量想办法让天元赢的机会大一些。
In ancient times, when the spiritual realm and demon realm clashed due to their different natural forces—spiritual energy in the former and demon energy in the latter—the strength of cultivators from one side would diminish in the other.
zhè fān kǎo liáng ， kě wèi yòng xīn liáng kǔ ， bù guò biǎo miàn shàng kàn ， dào xiǎn de yǒu xiē xiǎo jiā zi qì 。
这番考量，可谓用心良苦，不过表面上看，倒显得有些小家子气。
However, both sides had clever individuals who devised intricate禁制. Once set up, these could convert spiritual energy into demon energy or vice versa.
guǒ rán ， nài lóng zhēn rén de shēng yīn jiù tòu zhe chà yì ：“ běn shuài gē shì rén lèi xiū xiān zhě ， shēn shàng suǒ dài de bǎo wù ， yòu zěn me kě néng yǒu mó qì ne ， zhè me hǎo de xū yú dòng tiān tú ， wǒ yě zhǐ yǒu yī fú ， dào yǒu ruò shì bù mǎn ， dà kě yǐ xiǎng bàn fǎ jiāng zhè lǐ de tiān dì yuán qì gǎi biàn 。”
果然，鼐龙真人的声音就透着诧异：“本帅哥是人类修仙者，身上所带的宝物，又怎么可能有魔气呢，这么好的须臾洞天图，我也只有一幅，道友若是不满，大可以想办法将这里的天地元气改变。”
The most famous among ancient demons was undoubtedly the Xuan Tian聚魔大阵.
“ hēng ， dào yǒu zhè jù huà ， shì jǐ duì běn shèng zǔ ， méi guān xì ， zhǐ yào yǒu nǐ zhè jù huà ， nà jiù xíng le 。”
“哼，道友这句话，是挤兑本圣祖，没关系，只要有你这句话，那就行了。”
While this array was formidable and covered a vast area, setting it up required years of effort with numerous materials. To create such an array in just a few moments was highly practical.
bīng pò lěng rán de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， suí hòu yù shǒu yī fú ， jǐ gān yǒu hēi de zhèn qí fēi lüè ér chū ， yī shǎn ， jiù mò rù le zhōu wéi de shān bì lǐ miàn 。
冰魄冷然的声音传入耳朵，随后玉手一拂，几杆黝黑的阵旗飞掠而出，一闪，就没入了周围的山壁里面。
PS: Yes, I have something to tell all my fellow immortals.
suí hòu bù kě sī yì de yí mù chū xiàn le ， nóng yù de mó qì ， píng kōng ér qǐ ， xiàng zhe sì zhōu mí màn ， hěn kuài jiù chōng yíng zài le zhěng gè shān gǔ zhī jiān 。
随后不可思议的一幕出现了，浓郁的魔气，凭空而起，像着四周弥漫，很快就充盈在了整个山谷之间。
Tomorrow, Huan Yu will be going to Zhuhai for a writer's conference. She is likely to return around the 24th. Originally, she planned to write more and save up some drafts, but her baby has been kicking hard lately and keeps waking her up at night. As a result, not only did she not get enough sleep, but she also caught a cold.
dāng rán ， shān gǔ zhōng de líng qì yuán běn jiù hěn nóng ， yīn cǐ dào yě méi yǒu bèi mó qì qū sàn ， ér shì hùn zá zài yì qǐ ， jì yǒu líng qì ， yòu yǒu mó qì ， shuāng fāng de tǐ jī ， xiāng chà fǎng fú ， dá dào le shí fēn jūn yún de chéng dù 。
当然，山谷中的灵气原本就很浓，因此倒也没有被魔气驱散，而是混杂在一起，既有灵气，又有魔气，双方的体积，相差仿佛，达到了十分均匀的程度。
This affected her draft-saving plans significantly. However, rest assured; there will be no break in the updates.
The mountain range was majestic, winding and twisting, extending into the horizon. Lin Xuan released his divine sense, but even with his far superior divine sense compared to other cultivators of the same rank, he could not feel where the end of the mountains lay.
Indeed, this treasure from a late-stage realm survivor was no ordinary item.

Without further ado, the others followed suit, each displaying their abilities and closely following behind Nai Long Immortal.
A short while passed quickly.
Led by Nai Long Immortal, a valley appeared in front of them.
It was an extremely spacious valley, at least several hundred acres. The surrounding mountains encircled it.
