lín xuān zì cóng tà shàng xiū xiān zhī lù ， jīng lì de jiān nán xiǎn zǔ nà shì shǔ bù shèng shǔ 。
林轩自从踏上修仙之路，经历的艰难险阻那是数不胜数。
Lin Xuan had encountered countless hardships and challenges since he embarked on the path of cultivation. His experiences were so rich that ordinary cultivators could hardly match them.
qí jīng lì zhī fēng fù ， yì bān xiū shì nà shì gēn běn wú fǎ qǐ jí de 。
其经历之丰富，一般修士那是根本无法企及的。
What formidable enemies had Lin Xuan not seen? What bizarre rumors had he not heard about? Not to mention, his current strength was already comparable to a great cultivator capable of surmounting tribulations. Long before reaching this level, he could remain unperturbed even when faced with the collapse of Mount Tai.
shén me qiáng dí lín xuān bù céng jiàn guò 。
什么强敌林轩不曾见过。
However, at this moment, Lin Xuan was stunned by the tale told by a mere婴期 cultivator.
shén me guāng guài lù lí de chuán wén tā yòu bù céng tīng shuō ？
什么光怪陆离的传闻他又不曾听说？
In ancient times, had域外天魔 actually invaded both the Spirit Realm and the Demon Realm, as well as the Yin司 Realm simultaneously?
bié shuō lín xuān rú jīn de shí lì yǐ kān bǐ dù jié jí bié de dà néng xiū xiān zhě ， zǎo zài zhè zhī qián ， tā jiù néng zuò dào tài shān bēng yú qián ér bù biàn sè。
别说林轩如今的实力已堪比渡劫级别的大能修仙者，早在这之前，他就能做到泰山崩于前而不变sè。
The specifics of that battle were unclear to the old man due to his limited cultivation. He only mentioned that according to historical records, it was extremely惨烈.
rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， lín xuān què bèi yī xiǎo xiǎo de yuán yīng qī xiū shì de jiǎng shù gěi jīng dāi le 。
然而此时此刻，林轩却被一小小的元婴期修士的讲述给惊呆了。
Wasn't this obvious?
zài shàng gǔ zhī shí ， yù wài tiān mó ， jū rán tóng shí rù qīn líng jiè 、 mó jiè 、 hái yǒu yīn sī jiè me ？
在上古之时，域外天魔，居然同时入侵灵界、魔界、还有yīn司界么？
Lin Xuan couldn’t help but feel speechless. The strength of域外天魔 was well-known to him; even a late-stage tribulation cultivator like Dàolóng Zhenren would hesitate before engaging them in battle.
nà yī zhàn jù tǐ qíng xíng rú hé ， jǐn yī lǎo zhě xiàn yú xiū wèi ， jiù bú shì hěn qīng chǔ ， zhǐ shuō jù diǎn jí shàng de miáo shù ， nà shì cǎn liè dào jí chù 。
那一战具体情形如何，锦衣老者限于修为，就不是很清楚，只说据典籍上的描述，那是惨烈到极处。
In fact, even ordinary spirit-severing cultivators were no match for the average demon from beyond the heavens. Late-stage tribulation cultivators needed to be cautious when facing such formidable opponents.
zhè bù fèi huà me ？
这不废话么？
The battles between these powerful adversaries were undoubtedly惨烈.
lín xuān yī zhèn wú yǔ 。
林轩一阵无语。
Lin Xuan was curious but the old man’s account was incomplete. He only mentioned that in response to this unprecedented crisis, the three realms united to repel the域外天魔.
yù wài tiān mó yǒu duō qiáng ， tā shì xīn lǐ yǒu shù ， jiù suàn shì nài lóng zhēn rén zhè yàng de dù jié hòu qī qiáng zhě ， duì shàng le yě bù gǎn shuō jiù yǒu jué duì de bǎ wò 。
域外天魔有多强，他是心里有数，就算是鼐龙真人这样的渡劫后期强者，对上了也不敢说就有绝对的把握。
"Are you saying that the cultivators from the Spirit Realm, Demon Realm, and Yin司 Realm didn't fight alone? Instead, they joined forces against the域外天魔?"
qí shí ， nǎ pà shì yì bān de tiān wài mó tóu ， shí lì dōu líng jià yú pǔ tōng de fēn shén qī xiū xiān zhě ， dù jié chū zhōng qī de cún zài ， yī yàng xū yào xiǎo xīn yìng fù 。
其实，哪怕是一般的天外魔头，实力都凌驾于普通的分神期修仙者，渡劫初中期的存在，一样需要小心应付。
Lin Xuan’s voice, tinged with excitement, echoed in his ears. As the saying goes, "Finding what one has been searching for after much effort," the old man's words reminded Lin Xuan of another secret.
miàn duì zhè yàng de qiáng dí ， kě xiǎng ér zhī ， nà zhàn dòu zì rán shì fēi cháng cǎn liè de 。
面对这样的强敌，可想而知，那战斗自然是非常惨烈的。
It was a matter of chance that Lin Xuan had obtained an image pearl from a disciple of Cloud Concealment Sect. Initially, he thought it would reveal some treasure or ancient cultivator’s dwelling place. However, when he delved into his divine sense, he discovered something unexpected.
lín xuān xīn zhōng hào qí ， kě xī lǎo zhě liǎo jiě dé bìng bù xiáng xì 。
林轩心中好奇，可惜老者了解得并不详细。
What Lin Xuan saw wasn’t just an image but as if he was right in the middle of a battlefield from ancient times!
zhǐ shuō miàn duì zhè qián suǒ wèi yǒu de wēi jī ， sān jiè qiáng zhě ， zhǐ néng jiāng qián xián bǐng qì ， gòng tóng yù dí 。
只说面对这前所未有的危机，三界强者，只能将前嫌摒弃，共同御敌。
The battlefields of ancient times!
“ nǐ shì shuō ， líng jiè ， mó jiè ， hái yǒu yīn sī jiè de qiáng zhě ， bìng bú shì gè zì wéi zhàn ， ér shì lián shǒu duì kàng yù wài tiān mó ？”
“你是说，灵界，魔界，还有yīn司界的强者，并不是各自为战，而是联手对抗域外天魔？”
The earth crumbled, and the sky was already sunken; the entire space was chaotic. Yet, amidst this eerie environment, countless cultivators were engaged in fierce combat.
lín xuān yǒu diǎn jī dòng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， sú huà shuō ， tà pò tiě xié wú mì chù ， dé lái quán bù fèi gōng fu ， duì fāng suǒ shuō de yán yǔ ， ràng lín xuān xiǎng qǐ le lìng wài yī jiàn yǐn mì 。
林轩有点激动的声音传入耳朵，俗话说，踏破铁鞋无觅处，得来全不费工夫，对方所说的言语，让林轩想起了另外一件隐秘。
Sword qi flew everywhere, spells rained down like hailstones.
shuō qǐ lái 。 nà yě shì jī yuán qiǎo hé 。 lín xuān cóng yún yǐn zōng yī míng dì zǐ de shǒu zhōng ， yì wài de huò dé le yī méi yìng xiàng zhū 。
说起来。那也是机缘巧合。林轩从云隐宗一名弟子的手中，意外的获得了一枚映象珠。
These cultivators’ strength left Lin Xuan awestruck. Their movements could open heaven and earth with a mere gesture. The omnipresence of法则 power was evident.
yuán běn yǐ wéi ， lǐ miàn suǒ biāo shì de 。 huì shì shén me bǎo zàng ， huò zhě gǔ xiū shì de dòng fǔ ， rán ér lín xuān jiāng shén shí chén rù 。 què kàn dào le lìng tā yì wài de xiàn suǒ 。
原本以为，里面所标示的。会是什么宝藏，或者古修士的洞府，然而林轩将神识沉入。却看到了令他意外的线索。
Clearly, these cultivators must have been at least late-stage tribulation cultivators to wield the powers of heaven and earth.
lín xuān suǒ kàn dào de ， bù zài shì yí gè yǐng xiàng ， ér fǎng fú shēn lín qí jìng de lái dào le yí gè zhàn chǎng 。
林轩所看到的，不再是一个影像，而仿佛身临其境的来到了一个战场。
The sight of so many high-ranking cultivators fighting in pairs was already astonishing. More unbelievable was that several of them were familiar to Lin Xuan: Mo Er, or more accurately, Asura; Guang Han Zi, Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox, and Ice Soul…
shàng gǔ shí qī de zhàn chǎng ！
上古时期的战场！
These were among the top-tier existences of the three realms.
dà dì bēng tā ， tiān kōng yě yǐ jīng āo xiàn ， zhěng gè kōng jiān ， dōu shì hùn dùn de yī piàn ， rán ér jiù zài zhè guǐ yì de huán jìng zhōng ， què yǒu wú shù xiū shì zài sī shā 。
大地崩塌，天空也已经凹陷，整个空间，都是混沌的一片，然而就在这诡异的环境中，却有无数修士在厮杀。
Was it a conflict between the Spirit Realm, Demon Realm, and Yin司 Realm?
jiàn qì zòng héng ， fǎ shù rú yǔ diǎn bān qīng xiè ér xià 。
剑气纵横，法术如雨点般倾泻而下。
The answer was no. These powerful cultivators from the three realms didn’t fight each other but instead supported one another. Their enemies were someone else entirely.
nà xiē xiū shì shí lì zhī qiáng 。 lián lín xuān yě tàn wéi guān zhǐ ， xīn dǐ zhí mào liáng qì 。
那些修士实力之强。连林轩也叹为观止，心底直冒凉气。
Though the information in the image pearl was shocking, it wasn't complete. Lin Xuan couldn’t see through to the end of the crucial part.
jǔ shǒu tóu zú jiān ， zú yǐ kāi tiān pì dì 。 dào chù dōu mí sàn zhāo fǎ zé zhī lì 。
举手投足间，足以开天辟地。到处都弥散着法则之力。
This left him feeling extremely frustrated. He naturally wanted to unravel the mystery related to Mo Er and thus searched for a new image pearl based on the disciple’s description. However, he found nothing in the bustling city of Qing Mu. The shopkeeper had only accidentally come into possession of this treasure.
xiǎn rán 。 zhè xiē dòng shǒu de xiū xiān zhě ， yí gè gè de shí lì 。 dōu gāo dào lìng rén nán yǐ xiǎng xiàng de chéng dù 。
显然。这些动手的修仙者，一个个的实力。都高到令人难以想象的程度。
The trail ended here.
néng gòu diào dòng tiān dì fǎ zé ， shuō míng zhè xiē jiā huo zhì shǎo yě shì dù jié qī de 。
能够调动天地法则，说明这些家伙至少也是渡劫期的。
Still, Lin Xuan wasn’t entirely wasted; during his journey, he encountered Fairy Hundred Flowers and True Toad Jīnyuè in battle and managed to save Fairy Hundred Flowers at a critical moment. He obtained many benefits from her as a result.
rú cǐ duō gāo jiē xiū shì zhuō duì sī shā ， yǐ jīng gòu lìng rén jīng è ， gèng bù kě sī yì de shì ， qí zhōng yǒu xǔ duō ， lín xuān hái shì rèn shí de 。
如此多高阶修士捉对厮杀，已经够令人惊愕，更不可思议的是，其中有许多，林轩还是认识的。
However, the ancient secrets of the剑灵’s virtual form were still beyond him. After returning home, Lin Xuan used Cloud Concealment Sect's influence to gather ancient texts and inquire about this secret but found no more clues.
yuè ér ， bù ， zhèng què de shuō ， yīng gāi shì ā xiū luó 。
月儿，不，正确的说，应该是阿修罗。
Ordinary cultivators aside, even late-stage tribulation cultivators likely knew little about it. The truth was known only by true demon primordial spirits like Ice Soul or scattered immortal demons and beast kings.
guǎng hán zi ， jiǔ wěi tiān hú ， hái yǒu bīng pò ……
广寒子，九尾天狐，还有冰魄……
Despite knowing Asura and having a connection with Guang Han Zhenren, Lin Xuan wouldn’t dare ask such a huge secret directly. It would be too presumptuous; he didn't know how the other party would react. His cautious nature prevented him from asking without absolute certainty.
zhè xiē sān jiè zuì dǐng jiē de cún zài jū rán dōu zài nà zhàn chǎng de 。
这些三界最顶阶的存在居然都在那战场的。
A slip of the tongue could bring disaster. This principle was deeply ingrained in Lin Xuan's mind.
nán dào shì líng jiè 、 mó jiè 、yīn sī jiè bǐ cǐ chōng tū ？
难道是灵界、魔界、yīn司界彼此冲突？
However, even if he didn’t ask, the secrets recorded in the image pearl truly troubled him.
dá àn shì bù 。
答案是不。
He never forgot them.
yīn wèi cǐ shí cǐ kè ， zhè xiē sān jiè qiáng zhě xiāng hù zhī jiān bìng méi yǒu dòng shǒu ， qià qià xiāng fǎn ， tā men shǒu wàng xiāng zhù ， ér dí rén ， zé shì lìng yǒu qí rén de 。
因为此时此刻，这些三界强者相互之间并没有动手，恰恰相反，他们守望相助，而敌人，则是另有其人的。
Unexpectedly, this space storm had brought him to a new realm where he unexpectedly discovered clues related to these ancient secrets.
kě xī yìng xiàng zhū zhōng de xiāo xī gù rán jīng shì hài sú ， què bìng fēi wán zhěng zhī wù ， lín xuān kàn dào jǐn yào guān tóu ， què méi yǒu le 。
可惜映象珠中的消息固然惊世骇俗，却并非完整之物，林轩看到紧要关头，却没有了。
Asura King, Ice Soul True Snake, and scattered immortal demons working together against the域外天魔—didn’t these align with the invasion of the three realms by the域外天魔? Could the events recorded in the image pearl be this?
kě xiǎng ér zhī ， lín xuān yù mèn dào hé zhòng dì bù ， yǔ yuè ér yǒu guān de xiàn suǒ ， tā zì rán shì xiǎng yào jiě kāi mí tí de ， yú shì gēn jù nà dì zǐ de miáo shù ， qù qīng mù chéng zhōng xún zhǎo xīn de yìng xiàng zhū 。
可想而知，林轩郁闷到何种地步，与月儿有关的线索，他自然是想要解开谜题的，于是根据那弟子的描述，去青木城中寻找新的映象珠。
Lin Xuan had his suspicions but the old man’s knowledge was limited. After asking a few questions, he didn't gain much useful information.
jié guǒ què shì yī wú suǒ huò ， nà diàn zhǔ gēn běn jiù shì yì wài dé dào le zhè jiàn bǎo wù ， ér qiě zhǐ yǒu zhè yī lì de 。
结果却是一无所获，那店主根本就是意外得到了这件宝物，而且只有这一粒的。
But it didn’t matter; such ancient battles were well-known in this realm. He just needed to find a higher-ranking cultivator or delve into more texts to resolve his doubts.
xiàn suǒ zhì cǐ zhōng duàn le 。
线索至此中断了。
There was no need for urgency.
dāng rán ， lín xuān yě bù suàn bái máng huó ， yīn wèi cǐ xíng ， tā qià hǎo yù jiàn bǎi huā xiān zi yǔ jīn yuè zhēn chán dòng shǒu ， bìng zài qià dàng de shí hòu ， chū shǒu yuán jiù le bǎi huā xiān zi ， cóng ér ， yóu cǐ nǚ shǒu zhōng ， huàn qǔ le bù shǎo de hǎo chù 。
当然，林轩也不算白忙活，因为此行，他恰好遇见百花仙子与金玥真蟾动手，并在恰当的时候，出手援救了百花仙子，从而，由此女手中，换取了不少的好处。
Initially, Lin Xuan was quite depressed about being swept into an unknown realm. But now that he could solve his puzzles and uncover clues related to Mo Er, he turned his worries into joy.
rán ér jiàn líng huà xū zài shén miào yǐ jí ， guān yú zhè duàn shàng gǔ yǐn mì ， lín xuān què shì zài wú xiàn suǒ dì 。
然而剑灵化虚再神妙以极，关于这段上古隐秘，林轩却是再无线索地。
The heavens were indeed kind to him; perhaps this was another stroke of luck!
huí qù yǐ hòu ， tā lì yòng yún yǐn zōng de shì lì ， dào chù shōu luó yú cǐ yǒu guān de gǔ jí ， dǎ tàn yǒu guān de xiāo xī ， què zài yě méi yǒu dǎ tīng dào zhī yán piàn yǔ 。
回去以后，他利用云隐宗的势力，到处收罗于此有关的古籍，打探有关的消息，却再也没有打听到只言片语。
Lin Xuan smiled as the old man had no more details on the battle’s specifics, so he didn’t continue probing but switched to a different question: "So, how did this lost realm come about?"
pǔ tōng xiū shì bú yòng shuō ， biàn shì yì bān de dù jié qī lǎo guài wù ， yú zhè yǐn mì ， duō bàn yě shì bù xiǎo de ， liǎo jiě zhēn xiàng de ， huò xǔ zhǐ yǒu xiàng bǎo shé bīng pò yī lèi de zhēn mó shǐ zǔ ， huò zhě líng jiè sàn xiān yāo wáng zhī lèi de cún zài le 。
普通修士不用说，便是一般的渡劫期老怪物，于这隐秘，多半也是不晓得，了解真相的，或许只有像宝蛇冰魄一类的真魔始祖，或者灵界散仙妖王之类的存在了。
According to his recollection, the old man had mentioned that before that battle, this realm didn't exist.
rán ér jiù suàn lín xuān rèn shí jiǔ wěi tiān hú ， yǔ guǎng hán zhēn rén yě yǒu qiān sī wàn lǚ de qiān chě ， zhè zhǒng tiān dà de mì mì ， yě jué bù gǎn mào mào rán qián qù xún wèn de 。
然而就算林轩认识九尾天狐，与广寒真人也有千丝万缕的牵扯，这种天大的秘密，也绝不敢冒冒然前去询问的。
"Haha, this part, junior knows."
nà yàng tài táng tū ， tiān zhī dào duì fāng huì zěn me zuò ， zǒng zhī ， yǐ lín xuān jǐn shèn de xìng gé ， xīn zhōng zài hào qí ， méi yǒu jué duì de bǎ wò ， yě bú huì qù wèn de 。
那样太唐突，天知道对方会怎么做，总之，以林轩谨慎的xìng格，心中再好奇，没有绝对的把握，也不会去问的。
The old man breathed a sigh of relief. His voice was both respectful and filled with joy as he answered Lin Xuan's questions. He hadn’t known much about them, causing him to worry. High-ranking cultivators could be unpredictable; if they were displeased or angry, it might lead to their demise.
huò cóng kǒu chū ， zhè dào lǐ ， lín xuān cóng lái dōu xīn lǐ yǒu shù 。
祸从口出，这道理，林轩从来都心里有数。
He had been nervous just now but felt relieved now that the matter was settled.
rán ér bù wèn guī bù wèn ， zhè yìng xiàng zhū zhōng suǒ jì zǎi de yǐn mì ， què zhe shí ràng lín xuān guà xīn yǐ jí 。
然而不问归不问，这映象珠中所记载的隐秘，却着实让林轩挂心以极。
P.S.: Phew, after dinner, I finally finished this chapter. Please vote for recommendation tickets, thank you all fellow daoists.
yī kè yě bù céng huò wàng guò 。
一刻也不曾或忘过。
Recommendation votes are really not doing well; do you still have any, fellow daoists?
Lin Xuan had encountered countless hardships and challenges since he embarked on the path of cultivation. His experiences were so rich that ordinary cultivators could hardly match them.
What formidable enemies had Lin Xuan not seen? What bizarre rumors had he not heard about? Not to mention, his current strength was already comparable to a great cultivator capable of surmounting tribulations. Long before reaching this level, he could remain unperturbed even when faced with the collapse of Mount Tai.
