suí zhe shí jiān de tuī yí ， qì fēn hěn kuài chóng xīn rè nào qǐ lái le 。
随着时间的推移，气氛很快重新热闹起来了。
As time passed, the atmosphere quickly returned to its lively state.
lín xuān míng xiǎn gǎn jué dào zhōu wéi hè kè duì zì jǐ de tài dù ， yǔ gāng gāng jié rán bù tóng 。
林轩明显感觉到周围贺客对自己的态度，与刚刚截然不同。
Lin Xuan could clearly sense the change in the attitude of the guests around him. It was markedly different from just moments ago.
dī diào shì lín xuān de yuán zé ， dàn zhè cì nài lóng zhēn rén dà xǐ ， gè zhǒng jī yuán qiǎo hé ， què piān piān jiāng lín xuān tuī dào zuì yǐn rén zhǔ mù de jiǎo dù 。
低调是林轩的原则，但这次鼐龙真人大喜，各种机缘巧合，却偏偏将林轩推到最引人瞩目的角度。
Humility was Lin Xuan's principle, but this time, with Nai Long Zhenren’s joyous celebration, various coincidences pushed him into the most conspicuous position.
yǔ tiān yuán yī zhàn ， píng xīn lái shuō ， lín xuān huò shèng ， yǒu yùn qì de yīn shù 。
与天元一战，平心来说，林轩获胜，有运气的因数。
In his battle against Tian Yuan, while he could say that luck played a role in his victory, it didn’t matter how lucky one might be; without true strength to back it up, even if faced with another Spirit Formation stage cultivator under similar circumstances, luck would not guarantee a win.
kě yùn qì yòu rú hé ， ruò méi yǒu shí lì zuò bǎo zhèng ， huàn yī míng fèn shén qī xiū xiān zhě yǔ tā yì dì ér chǔ ， yùn qì zài hǎo shí bèi yě bù kě néng dǎ bài tiān yuán shèng zǔ 。
可运气又如何，若没有实力做保证，换一名分神期修仙者与他易地而处，运气再好十倍也不可能打败天元圣祖。
In other words, Lin Xuan was no mere pretender.
huàn jù huà shuō ， lín xuān shì yǒu zhēn cái shí xué de 。
换句话说，林轩是有真才实学的。
His strength had yet to be fully showcased in this battle, and it was difficult to make an accurate assessment of his true potential. However, the gap between him and the Tribulation Transcendence stage was minimal at worst, which was beyond doubt.
zhè yī zhàn ， tā de shí lì hái méi néng wán quán zhǎn xiàn chū ， jiū jìng dào hé zhǒng chéng dù bù hǎo zuò yí gè zuì hòu de píng gū ， dàn nǎ pà bù jí dù jié qī ， xiāng chà yě shì liáo liáo wú jǐ ， zhè yì diǎn jué wú kě yí 。
这一战，他的实力还没能完全展现出，究竟到何种程度不好做一个最后的评估，但哪怕不及渡劫期，相差也是寥寥无几，这一点绝无可疑。
The cultivation world revered the strong.
xiū xiān jiè shì qiáng zhě wèi zūn dì 。
修仙界是强者为尊地。
Having already demonstrated his might, Lin Xuan naturally deserved the respect and treatment that came with it.
lín xuān yǐ jīng xiàng dà jiā zhǎn lù le tā de shí lì ， suǒ yǐ zì rán yě jiù huì dé dào yīng yǒu de zūn zhòng yǔ dài yù 。
林轩已经像大家展露了他的实力，所以自然也就会得到应有的尊重与待遇。
It could be said that misfortune turned into good fortune; after this battle, he truly gained the recognition of the old monsters present, who accepted him as an equal, no longer harboring any doubts about their interactions.
suǒ wèi yīn huò dé fú ， zhè yī zhàn hòu lín xuān shì zhēn zhèng huò dé le zài chǎng lǎo guài wù de rèn kě ， bèi tā men jiē nà ， nǎ pà píng bèi lùn jiāo yě zài méi yǒu rén xīn zhōng dí gū 。
所谓因祸得福，这一战后林轩是真正获得了在场老怪物的认可，被他们接纳，哪怕平辈论交也再没有人心中嘀咕。
As a party involved, Lin Xuan felt these changes keenly. While his face remained composed, his heart was filled with excitement.
zhè zhǒng biàn huà ， zuò wéi dāng shì zhě ， lín xuān gǎn shòu dé hěn qīng chǔ ， liǎn shàng bù dòng shēng sè ， dàn nèi xīn lǐ ， qí shí yě shì pǒ wèi xīng fèn de 。
这种变化，作为当事者，林轩感受得很清楚，脸上不动声色，但内心里，其实也是颇为兴奋的。
In any case, this Nai Long Zhenren’s wedding had brought him significant benefits, making the trip worthwhile.
zǒng zhī bù guǎn rú hé ， zhè cì nài lóng zhēn rén de hūn lǐ ， zì jǐ dōu huò yì liáng duō ， suàn shì bù xū cǐ xíng le 。
总之不管如何，这次鼐龙真人的婚礼，自己都获益良多，算是不虚此行了。
Setting aside the lively scene on Penglai Immortal Island for now,
péng lái xiān dǎo zhè biān de rè nào zàn qiě bù tí 。
蓬莱仙岛这边的热闹暂且不提。
at this moment, Bao She Bingpo had traveled several million miles away. The two of them transformed into a gentle breeze, with black energy masking their true speed as they continued to fly forward.
cǐ shí cǐ kè ， bǎo shé bīng pò ， yǐ lái dào shù bǎi wàn lǐ zhī wài le ， liǎng rén huà wèi yī dào qīng fēng ， yī tuán hēi qì shì huǎn shí jí yī jiù cháo zhe qián fāng jí fēi bù yǐ 。
此时此刻，宝蛇冰魄，已来到数百万里之外了，两人化为一道清风，一团黑气似缓实急依旧朝着前方疾飞不已。
The True Demon Primordial Ancestor naturally possessed the ability to tear through space and time. Even without using any artifacts, she could reverse the laws of the universe and travel between the Demon Realm and Spirit Realm at will.
zhēn mó shǐ zǔ ， zì rán jù yǒu pò suì xū kōng de néng lì ， jí biàn bù jiè yòng bǎo wù ， yě néng gòu píng kōng nì zhuǎn tiān dì fǎ zé ， zài mó jiè yǔ líng jiè zhī jiān áo yóu chuān suō 。
真魔始祖，自然具有破碎虚空的能力，即便不借用宝物，也能够凭空逆转天地法则，在魔界与灵界之间遨游穿梭。
This was indeed correct, but it wasn't that simple for them to enter the Spirit Realm whenever they pleased. Both realms were among the upper-tier planes, and their respective power dynamics were formidable. Even with her immense strength, tearing through space and opening a portal required significant effort.
zhè yì diǎn shì méi cuò ， dàn yě bìng bú shì shuō ， líng jiè tā men shì xiǎng lái jiù lái le 。
这一点是没错，但也并不是说，灵界她们是想来就来了。
Even if she could manage it, it would be a strenuous task without much reward.
bì jìng liǎng jiè dōu shì shàng wèi jiè miàn zhī yī ， bǐ cǐ jiān de fǎ zé zhī lì ， nà yě shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě dì jí biàn yǐ zhēn mó shǐ zǔ de shí lì ， xiǎng yào tú shǒu jiāng xū kōng sī pò ， dǎ kāi jiè miàn tōng dào ， yě bù róng yì 。
毕竟两界都是上位界面之一，彼此间的法则之力，那也是非同小可地即便以真魔始祖的实力，想要徒手将虚空撕破，打开界面通道，也不容易。
Bao She Bingpo weren’t mere fools who acted on instinct; though they didn’t use any artifacts, they employed divination to find the weakest point in the spatial fabric between the two realms. From there, tearing through space was significantly easier.
tuì yī wàn bù shuō ， jiù suàn néng gòu zuò dào ， yě shì chī lì bù tǎo hǎo 。
退一万步说，就算能够做到，也是吃力不讨好。
Now, their goal was to reach that spatial node.
bǎo shé bīng pò ， zì rán dōu bú shì zhǐ zhī mán gàn de chǔn huò ， liǎng rén suī rán méi yǒu jiè yòng bǎo wù ， dàn què yǐ bo suàn zhī shù ， zhǎo chū liǎng dà jiè miàn zhī jiān kōng jiān zhī lì zuì wèi bó ruò de jié diǎn 。
宝蛇冰魄，自然都不是只知蛮干的蠢货，两人虽然没有借用宝物，但却以卜算之术，找出两大界面之间空间之力最为bó弱的节点。
As a True Demon Primordial Ancestor, her presence already felt too conspicuous in the Spirit Realm. With Nai Long’s wedding as an excuse earlier, now that they had left Penglai Immortal Island, staying any longer would be awkward and unnecessary, especially since their mission had been accomplished.
cóng nà lǐ zhuó shǒu ， jiāng xū kōng sī pò ， míng xiǎn yào róng yì xǔ duō 。
从那里着手，将虚空撕破，明显要容易许多。
While there were some twists and turns to obtaining the cosmetic box, overall, the process was much easier than expected.
cǐ shí cǐ kè ， liǎng rén jiù shì gǎn wǎng kōng jiān jié diǎn de 。
此时此刻，两人就是赶往空间节点的。
Despite this, Bao She Bingpo’s face remained grim. As a True Demon Primordial Ancestor, she was accustomed to giving orders. Even ordinary Tribulation Transcendence cultivators would greet her with respect, but on Lin Xuan, she had suffered a minor setback, which left her feeling frustrated.
bì jìng shēn wèi zhēn mó shǐ zǔ ， lái dào líng jiè yǐ shì tài xiǎn táng tū ， xiān qián hái yǒu nài lóng de hūn lǐ kě zuò tuō cí ， rú jīn tā men yǐ cóng péng lái xiān dǎo chū lái ， ruò jì xù hái jì xù dòu liú zài líng jiè ， yú qíng yú lǐ dōu yǒu xiē shuō bù guò qù 。
毕竟身为真魔始祖，来到灵界已是太显唐突，先前还有鼐龙的婚礼可做托辞，如今她们已从蓬莱仙岛出来，若继续还继续逗留在灵界，于情于理都有些说不过去。
"Alright, Bao She, that young fellow is just a trivial matter, a small troublemaker at best. Dealing with him will be inevitable sooner or later; there’s no need to dwell on it," Bingpo's voice carried a sense of comfort.
hé kuàng cǐ xíng yǐ jīng dá dào le mù dì ， yě méi yǒu bì yào jì xù liú zài zhè lǐ 。
何况此行已经达到了目的，也没有必要继续留在这里。
"I know, sister, but I feel somewhat uncomfortable."
yào shuō néng gòu dé dào shū zhuāng hé ， zhōng jiān suī rán yě yǒu yī xiē qū zhé ， dàn zǒng de lái shuō ， zhěng gè guò chéng bǐ xiǎng xiàng de yào róng yì dé duō 。
要说能够得到梳妆盒，中间虽然也有一些曲折，但总的来说，整个过程比想象的要容易得多。
Bao She sighed and quickly turned her gaze back to the cosmetic box. This artifact wasn’t stored in her storage bag; instead, Bingpo held it in both hands as she played with it.
dé cháng suǒ yuàn ， yú qíng yú lǐ ， dōu yīng gāi gāo xìng cái shì ， kě bǎo shé de liǎn kǒng ， què shì yīn chén yǐ jí ， zuò wèi zhēn mó shǐ zǔ xiàng lái shì yí zhǐ qì shǐ guàn le ， biàn shì pǔ tōng dù jié yǔ tā men xiāng yù ， yě shì gōng gōng jìng jìng ， lǎo lǎo shí shí ， rán ér zhè cì zài lín xuān de shǒu shàng ， chī le yī bù dà bù xiǎo de kuī ， què zhe shí ràng tā xīn zhōng yù mèn yǐ jí 。
得偿所愿，于情于理，都应该高兴才是，可宝蛇的脸孔，却是阴沉以极，做为真魔始祖向来是颐指气使惯了，便是普通渡劫与她们相遇，也是恭恭敬敬，老老实实，然而这次在林轩的手上，吃了一不大不小的亏，却着实让她心中郁闷以极。
"Of what kind is this treasure that you value so much? Why did you travel such a long distance from the Holy Realm just for it, and why did you go through all these efforts to obtain it from Nai Long Zhenren?"
“ hǎo le bǎo shé ， nà lín xiǎo zi ， bù guò jiè xuǎn zhī jí ， yī tiào liáng xiǎo chǒu ér yǐ ， yào shōu shí tā ， bù guò shì chí zǎo de shì ， bù bì rú cǐ jiè yì 。” bīng pò de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， dài zhe jǐ fēn kuān wèi zhī yì 。
“好了宝蛇，那林小子，不过疥癣之疾，一跳梁小丑而已，要收拾他，不过是迟早的事，不必如此介意。”冰魄的声音传入耳朵，带着几分宽慰之意。
"This…" Bingpo’s face showed a hint of hesitation.
“ jiě jiě ， wǒ xiǎo de ， jiù shì xīn zhōng yǒu xiē bù shū fú 。”
“姐姐，我晓得，就是心中有些不舒服。”
"What's wrong? Do you still distrust me now?" Bao She’s expression was tinged with grievance and anger.
bǎo shé tàn le kǒu qì ， hěn kuài mù guāng yòu zhuǎn xiàng le nà shū zhuāng hé ， cǐ bǎo bìng méi yǒu bèi shōu rù chǔ wù dài ， ér shì bīng pò shuāng shǒu ná zhe bǎ wán 。
宝蛇叹了口气，很快目光又转向了那梳妆盒，此宝并没有被收入储物袋，而是冰魄双手拿着把玩。
"I don’t distrust you; it’s just… alright, I’ll tell you."
“ cǐ bǎo jiū jìng shì hé zhǒng bǎo wù ， zhí de jiě jiě rú cǐ zhòng shì ， qiān lǐ tiáo tiáo cóng shèng jiè gǎn dào zhè lǐ ， bù xī dài jià yě yào cóng nài lóng zhēn rén de shǒu lǐ huàn qǔ ？”
“此宝究竟是何种宝物，值得姐姐如此重视，千里迢迢从圣界感到这里，不惜代价也要从鼐龙真人的手里换取？”
As Bingpo spoke, she raised her head and released her immensely powerful divine sense. Within a ten-mile radius, every blade of grass and leaf fell under her control, leaving no stone unturned. There were no cultivators in this area.
“ zhè …，” bīng pò liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī chí yí zhī sè 。
“这…，”冰魄脸上露出一丝迟疑之色。
Bingpo’s face showed satisfaction, but after a moment's thought, she waved her sleeves, releasing an extremely pure demonic energy that formed a protective barrier around the two of them.
“ zěn me ， shì dào rú jīn ， jiě jiě hái xìn bù guò wǒ ？” bǎo shé biǎo qíng yǒu xiē yōu yuàn ， yǒu xiē huì nù 。
“怎么，事到如今，姐姐还信不过我？”宝蛇表情有些幽怨，有些恚怒。
This barrier had soundproofing and alerting properties, making it impossible for even True Immortals to easily eavesdrop on their conversation here.
“ yě bú shì xìn bù guò ， zhǐ shì …… hǎo ba ， gào sù nǐ ， yě méi yǒu shén me 。”
“也不是信不过，只是……好吧，告诉你，也没有什么。”
Bao She was amazed by Bingpo’s caution. The secret behind this cosmetic box must be significant; otherwise, her sister wouldn’t have been so careful.
bīng pò yī biān shuō ， yī biān tái qǐ tóu lú ， jiāng qiáng dà yǐ jí de shén shí fàng chū ， dùn shí ， fāng yuán shí wàn lǐ ， yī cǎo yī mù ， jiē jǐn rù tā de zhǎng wò ， lián fēi huā suì yè yě táo bù tuō ， zhè ge fàn wéi nèi ， bìng méi yǒu xiū xiān zhě 。
冰魄一边说，一边抬起头颅，将强大以极的神识放出，顿时，方圆十万里，一草一木，皆尽入她的掌握，连飞花碎叶也逃不脱，这个范围内，并没有修仙者。
Though curious, she didn’t say anything more. Her sister would surely explain it in due time.
bīng pò liǎn shàng lù chū mǎn yì zhī sè ， dàn lüè yī sī suǒ ， què yòu xiù páo yī fú ， suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， yī dào jīng chún yǐ jí de mó qì fēi lüè ér chū ， xíng chéng hù zhào jiāng tā men liǎng rén bāo guǒ 。
冰魄脸上露出满意之色，但略一思索，却又袖袍一拂，随着她的动作，一道精纯以极的魔气飞掠而出，形成护罩将她们两人包裹。
"Have you heard of the Seven Treasures of Nirvana?"
cǐ hù zhào yǒu gé yīn jǐng jiè de xiào guǒ ， rú cǐ yī lái ， jiù suàn shì zhēn xiān jiàng lín cǐ chù ， yě xiū xiǎng qīng yì tōu tīng dào liǎng rén de tán huà le 。
此护罩有隔音警戒的效果，如此一来，就算是真仙降临此处，也休想轻易偷听到两人的谈话了。
"The Seven Treasures of Nirvana?" Bao She was taken aback, feeling a vague sense of familiarity but couldn’t quite place it. She lowered her head and pondered for a moment before suddenly raising it with surprise on her face: "Sister, are you referring to the seven secret treasures left behind by King Asura after his battle with three True Immortals in the Arctic Yuan Guang Hall millions of years ago?"
bīng pò jū rán jǐn shèn dào zhè zhòng dì bù ， bǎo shé nà hǎn zhī yú ， liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng ， yě níng zhòng qǐ lái le ， zhè shū zhuāng hé de mì mì kǒng pà hái zhēn shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， fǒu zé jiě jiě duàn bù zhì yú rú cǐ de 。
冰魄居然谨慎到这种地步，宝蛇纳罕之余，脸上的表情，也凝重起来了，这梳妆盒的秘密恐怕还真是非同小可，否则姐姐断不至于如此的。
"Fallen," Bingpo’s voice surprised them. "There were ancient rumors about this, and even a True Demon Primordial Ancestor like yourself was deceived."
tā xīn zhōng hào qí ， dàn yě méi yǒu kāi kǒu duō yǔ ， jiě jiě zì rán shì huì shuō dì 。
她心中好奇，但也没有开口多语，姐姐自然是会说地。
"Fallen? Wasn’t that battle one where all parties suffered significant losses?" Bao She was taken aback.
“ xiū luó qī bǎo ， nǐ yǒu méi yǒu tīng guò ？”
“修罗七宝，你有没有听过？”
"It was indeed a mutual defeat, with the three True Immortals dying or severely injured. But King Asura… may not have fallen," Bingpo said coldly.
“ xiū luó qī bǎo ？”
“修罗七宝？”
"Could it be that you know something?"
bǎo shé yī è ， yǐn yǐn jué de yǒu xiē ěr shú ， dàn yī shí piàn kè ， hái zhēn xiǎng bù chū ， dī chuí zhēn shǒu ， chén sī le piàn kè ， tū rán sà de tái qǐ tóu lú ， liǎn shàng mǎn shì chī jīng zhī sè ：“ jiě jiě ， nǐ shì shuō ， shù bǎi wàn nián qián ， ā xiū luó wáng yǔ sān wèi zhēn xiān jué zhàn yú běi jí yuán guāng diàn ， shēn sǐ yǔn luò ， suǒ yí liú xià lái de qī jiàn mì bǎo me ？”
宝蛇一愕，隐隐觉得有些耳熟，但一时片刻，还真想不出，低垂臻首，沉思了片刻，突然飒的抬起头颅，脸上满是吃惊之色：“姐姐，你是说，数百万年前，阿修罗王与三位真仙决战于北极元光殿，身死陨落，所遗留下来的七件秘宝么？”
"I happened to come across some information. According to what I know, King Asura was a prodigy. If he had given his all, facing three True Immortals, even if slightly outmatched, pulling them down with him would have been guaranteed. How could the outcome be one death and two severe injuries?"
“ yǔn luò ” hēng ， shàng gǔ shì yǒu zhè yàng de chuán yán ， lián nǐ táng táng zhēn mó shǐ zǔ ， jū rán yě bèi piàn le jìn qù 。” bīng pò chū rén yì liào de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ lǐ 。
“陨落”亨，上古是有这样的传言，连你堂堂真魔始祖，居然也被骗了进去。”冰魄出人意料的声音传入耳朵里。
"That battle… it’s said that King Asura fought bare-handed without his Nirvana Treasure Box."
“ bèi piàn ， nà yī zhàn ， nán dào bú shì liǎng bài jù shāng de jié guǒ ？” bǎo shé yǒu xiē chī jīng le 。
“被骗，那一战，难道不是两败俱伤的结果？”宝蛇有些吃惊了。
"Why did King Asura do this? Was there some hidden strategy behind it?" Bao She, as a True Demon Primordial Ancestor, had never heard of such secrecy before.
“ liǎng bài jù shāng bù jiǎ ， sān wèi zhēn xiān yī sǐ liǎng zhòng shāng yě yīng gāi méi cuò ， dàn nà wèi ā xiū luó wáng me ， què wèi bì yǔn luò le 。” bīng pò lěng lěng de shuō 。
“两败俱伤不假，三位真仙一死两重伤也应该没错，但那位阿修罗王么，却未必陨落了。”冰魄冷冷的说。
Previously, similar rumors were heard, but they all contained subtle differences. These discrepancies could make a world of difference. Facing the three True Immortals’ assault, why didn’t King Asura give his all? What was her true purpose and plan?
“ nán dào jiě jiě nǐ zhī dào shén me 。”
“难道姐姐你知道什么。”
At this moment, Bao She’s mind was filled with shock.
As time passed, the atmosphere quickly returned to its lively state.
Lin Xuan could clearly sense the change in the attitude of the guests around him. It was markedly different from just moments ago.
Humility was Lin Xuan's principle, but this time, with Nai Long Zhenren’s joyous celebration, various coincidences pushed him into the most conspicuous position.
