shì yī hún shēn huǒ hóng sè de xiān qín ！
是一浑身火红色的仙禽！
It was a fiery red immortal bird!
shēn cháng zhàng xǔ ， xì mù zhǎng líng ， yī yǎn wàng qù ， yǔ fèng huáng yǒu qī bā fēn xiāng sì ， dàn yǔ fèng huáng xiāng bǐ ， tā de shēn tǐ gèng jiā xì cháng yī xiē ， shén tài yě gāo ào yǐ jí ， yǐn yǐn sàn fà chū yī gǔ pì nì tiān xià de wáng zhě zhī qì 。
身长丈许，细目长翎，一眼望去，与凤凰有七八分相似，但与凤凰相比，牠的身体更加细长一些，神态也高傲以极，隐隐散发出一股睥睨天下的王者之气。
With a body length of over ten feet, it had narrow eyes and long feathers. At first glance, it resembled the phoenix in every way except for its slenderer form and an extremely haughty demeanor that seemed to exude the aura of a ruler of the world.
lín xuān hài rán shī sè 。
林轩骇然失色。
Lin Xuan was taken aback. For a moment, he almost thought his eyes were deceiving him. He widened his eyes and carefully examined the figure before him. Indeed, it was the Phoenix without any doubt. More accurately, it should be the soul of the Phoenix.
yī shí jiān jī hū yǐ wéi zì jǐ yǎn huā le 。
一时间几乎以为自己眼花了。
The aura emanating from it did not fall short in comparison to what Lin Xuan had seen from late-stage cultivators who were about to undergo a tribulation. In fact, it might even surpass them in some aspects.
máng jiāng yǎn jīng zhēng dé dà dà de 。
忙将眼睛睁得大大的。
It was unimaginable how such an existence could have fallen and been captured alive by someone, even with its soul sealed within a spirit-sealing jade. Since he embarked on the path of cultivation, Lin Xuan had experienced countless trials and tribulations. However, at this moment, he was truly shaken.
xì xì chuǎi mó ， guǒ rán shì zhū què méi cuò 。
细细揣摩，果然是朱雀没错。
As one of the true spirits among birds, the Phoenix's strength far surpassed that of the Golden Jade True Toad. Although it fell short of the True Dragon and True Phoenix, its reputation in the realm of true spirits was well-deserved.
zhèng què de shuō ， yīng gāi shì zhū què de hún pò 。
正确的说，应该是朱雀的魂魄。
To be frank, even if it were a precious snake with an icy soul or a nine-tailed celestial fox, they would hesitate to engage in battle against such a formidable opponent. How could this exist fall into such a predicament?
nà sàn fà chū lái de wēi yā ， yì diǎn yě bù bǐ lín xuān jiàn guò de dù jié hòu qī xiū shì xùn sè 。
那散发出来的威压，一点也不比林轩见过的渡劫后期修士逊色。
The twists and turns behind this situation were beyond his comprehension. Lin Xuan naturally did not waste his energy trying to figure them out.
cóng mǒu zhǒng jiǎo dù ， shèn zhì kě yǐ shuō gèng shèng yī chóu 。
从某种角度，甚至可以说更胜一筹。
What he was pondering now was another issue, or rather, something very detailed that needed to be addressed at the moment.
nán yǐ xiǎng xiàng ， zhè yàng de cún zài ， zěn me huì yǔn luò ， ér qiě lián hún pò dōu bèi rén shēng qín huó zhuō ， shèn zhì yòng fēng líng yù jìn gù 。
难以想象，这样的存在，怎么会陨落，而且连魂魄都被人生擒活捉，甚至用封灵玉禁锢。
Crafting treasures, sealing spirit jade...
lín xuān zì cóng tà shàng xiū xiān zhī lù ， jīng lì de fēng yǔ shǔ bù shèng shǔ ， rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， yě dàng zhēn bèi zhèn hàn dào le 。
林轩自从踏上修仙之路，经历的风雨数不胜数，然而此时此刻，也当真被震撼到了。
He had no idea what kind of treasure this circular object was, but it bore an image of a Phoenix carved into its surface, almost lifelike.
yào xiǎo de ， zuò wèi niǎo lèi zhēn líng zhī yī ， zhū què de shí lì ， yuǎn fēi jīn yuè zhēn chán kě bǐ ， suī rán bù jí fèng huáng zhēn lóng ， dàn zài zhēn líng zhōng ， nà shì hè hè yǒu míng dì 。
要晓得，做为鸟类真灵之一，朱雀的实力，远非金玥真蟾可比，虽然不及凤凰真龙，但在真灵中，那是赫赫有名地。
Initially, he thought it might just be for decoration. However, as time passed, that possibility gradually faded from his mind...
shuō jù bú kè qì de yán yǔ ， jiù suàn shì bǎo shé bīng pò ， huò zhě jiǔ wěi tiān hú ， yǔ tā duì shàng le yě bù gǎn shuō yǒu bǎi fēn zhī bǎi zhàn ér shèng zhī de bǎ wò ， zhè yàng de cún zài ， zěn me huì luò de rú cǐ xià chǎng ne ？
说句不客气的言语，就算是宝蛇冰魄，或者九尾天狐，与牠对上了也不敢说有百分之百战而胜之的把握，这样的存在，怎么会落得如此下场呢？
Lin Xuan began to assess the value and significance of this treasure in relation to the true spirit Phoenix.
zhè zhōng jiān yǒu duō shǎo qū zhé ， kǒng pà zì jǐ xiǎng pò tóu yě xiǎng bù qīng chǔ ， yǐ lín xuān de xìng gé ， zì rán yě jiù bù qù shǎ shǎ de bái fèi lì qì le 。
这中间有多少曲折，恐怕自己想破头也想不清楚，以林轩的性格，自然也就不去傻傻的白费力气了。
Such speculation was indeed quite reliable.
cǐ kè tā xīn zhōng sī liáng de ， shì lìng wài yí gè wèn tí ， huò zhě shuō ， hěn xì jié de dōng xī ， dàn zài cǐ kè ， què bù dé bù tí 。
此刻他心中思量的，是另外一个问题，或者说，很细节的东西，但在此刻，却不得不提。
But reality proved even more fantastical than his imagination. Lin Xuan never dreamed that the spirit-sealing jade contained the soul of the Phoenix.
liàn bǎo ， fēng líng yù ……
炼宝，封灵玉……
What could be the purpose?
zhè yuán huán shì hé zhǒng bǎo wù bù xiǎo de ， dàn shàng miàn què shì yǒu zhū què xíng mào de diāo kè ， shuō xǔ xǔ rú shēng yě bù wèi guò 。
这圆环是何种宝物不晓得，但上面却是有朱雀形貌的雕刻，说栩栩如生也不为过。
Was it using the Phoenix's soul as the essence spirit for this circular treasure?
kāi shǐ 。 lín xuān yí dù yǐ wéi shì zhuāng shì 。 dàn suí zhe shí jiān de tuī yí ， zhè zhǒng kě néng xìng què jiàn jiàn bèi tā suǒ pái chì ……
开始。林轩一度以为是装饰。但随着时间的推移，这种可能性却渐渐被他所排斥……
The thought flashed through his mind, and he was momentarily shocked by its audacity.
lín xuān kāi shǐ píng gū ， zhè bǎo wù 。 yǔ zhēn líng zhū què yīng gāi yǒu yī xiē guān xì 。
林轩开始评估，这宝物。与真灵朱雀应该有一些关系。
Using a true spirit like the Phoenix’s soul as an essence spirit... True immortals might not be so bold. Although the Phoenix’s soul did appear before him, Lin Xuan felt it highly unlikely.
bù dé bù shuō ， zhè yàng de cāi cè ， yǐ shì hěn kào pǔ 。
不得不说，这样的猜测，已是很靠谱。
It must have another purpose!
dàn xiàn shí què bǐ cāi cè 。 hái yào xuán huàn dé duō ， lín xuān zuò mèng yě bù céng xiǎng ， fēng líng yù zhōng suǒ shèng zhuāng de ， jū rán shì zhū què de hún pò 。
但现实却比猜测。还要玄幻得多，林轩做梦也不曾想，封灵玉中所盛装的，居然是朱雀的魂魄。
Lin Xuan could only speculate up to this point. The exact nature of its use was beyond his comprehension. For now, he would do nothing but wait as the secret slowly revealed itself over time.
zhè shì yào zuò shén me ？
这是要做什么？
Patience is a virtue, and Lin Xuan had plenty of that.
yòng zhū què zhī hún zuò wèi zhè yuán huán fǎ bǎo de qì líng me ？
用朱雀之魂做为这圆环法宝的器灵么？
With thoughts racing through his mind, he took a deep breath and waited silently.
zhè yàng de xiǎng fǎ zài nǎo hǎi zhōng shǎn guò ， lín xuān zì jǐ ， dōu bèi xià le yī dà tiào de 。
这样的想法在脑海中闪过，林轩自己，都被吓了一大跳的。
The Phoenix’s soul displayed an extremely angry expression, trying to break free from its bindings. The aura it emitted was already formidable; now it was growing stronger with each passing moment.
yòng zhēn líng zhū què de hún pò zuò qì líng ， zhēn xiān yǒu méi yǒu zhè me háo mài dōu shì liǎng shuō ， yǎn qián suī rán què shí chū xiàn le zhū què zhī hún ， dàn lín xuān jué de 。 bù tài kě néng 。
用真灵朱雀的魂魄做器灵，真仙有没有这么豪迈都是两说，眼前虽然确实出现了朱雀之魂，但林轩觉得。不太可能。
This spiritual pressure did not target him directly, but just watching it made Lin Xuan feel uneasy. After all, this was merely the soul of the Phoenix. In its full glory, how powerful would it be?
yīng gāi shì bié yǒu yòng tú ！
应该是别有用途！
Lin Xuan took a deep breath and let his protective spirit energy shield him from any harm, silently observing.
lín xuān yě zhǐ néng cāi cè dào zhè yī bù 。
林轩也只能猜测到这一步。
The Phoenix’s struggles were futile. The array had an effect that counteracted them, and light halos began to appear, enveloping the soul of the Phoenix.
jù tǐ shì shén me ， jiù nán yǐ chuǎi mó ， xiàn zài zhǐ yǒu shén me dōu bù zuò 。 jì xù zài zhè ér děng zhe 。 fǎn zhèng zhè ge mì mì ， suí zhe shí jiān de tuī yí 。 zì jǐ jiù huì màn màn jiē xiǎo dì 。
具体是什么，就难以揣摩，现在只有什么都不做。继续在这儿等着。反正这个秘密，随着时间的推移。自己就会慢慢揭晓地。
It remained immobile.
xīn jí chī bù liǎo rè dòu fǔ ， zhè diǎn nài xīn lín xuān kěn dìng shì yǒu de 。
心急吃不了热豆腐，这点耐心林轩肯定是有的。
The sound of the array’soperation filled Lin Xuan's ears as he was surprised to find its power had increased tenfold compared to before.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， lín xuān shēn shēn hū xī ， jìng jìng de děng le xià qù 。
脑海中念头转过，林轩深深呼吸，静静的等了下去。
Such a powerful force could not be provided by even top-grade crystal stones. Only immortal stones could achieve this.
zhǐ jiàn nà zhū què zhī hún de biǎo qíng jí wéi fèn nù ， xiǎng yào zhèng tuō shēn shàng de shù fù 。
只见那朱雀之魂的表情极为愤怒，想要挣脱身上的束缚。
Could it be that the array in front of him was powered by immortal stones?
tā shēn shàng sàn fà chū lái de wēi yā ， yuán běn jiù fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， hái zài bù duàn zēng zhǎng zhe 。
牠身上散发出来的威压，原本就非同小可，此时此刻，还在不断增长着。
Lin Xuan was amazed, realizing something he had never noticed before.
zhè líng yā ， bìng fēi zhēn duì lín xuān fā chū ， rán ér tā guāng shì zài yī páng kàn zhe ， jiù jué de jīng xīn chù mù 。
这灵压，并非针对林轩发出，然而他光是在一旁看着，就觉得惊心触目。
The complexity of the array far exceeded his comprehension.
yào xiǎo de ， zhè jǐn jǐn shì zhū què de hún pò ， ruò shì tā quán shèng zhī shí ， yǒu duō qiáng dà ， nà zhēn de shì nán yǐ xiǎng jiàn le 。
要晓得，这仅仅是朱雀的魂魄，若是牠全盛之时，有多强大，那真的是难以想见了。
Despite the orderly process of crafting the treasure continuing, Lin Xuan’s thoughts turned to the future.
lín xuān xī le kǒu qì ， yǐ tā rú jīn de shí lì ， jǐn jǐn shì xiē xǔ líng yā ， zì rán shì bù pà dì ， fàng chū hù tǐ líng qì ， jìng guān bù yǔ 。
林轩吸了口气，以他如今的实力，仅仅是些许灵压，自然是不怕地，放出护体灵气，静观不语。
A month or so later...
zhū què de zhēng zhá méi yǒu yòng tú ， nà zhèn fǎ qià hǎo duì tā yǒu kè zhì de xiào guǒ ， yī tuán tuán guāng yùn fú xiàn ér chū ， jiāng zhū què zhī hún de shēn yǐng bāo guǒ 。
朱雀的挣扎没有用途，那阵法恰好对牠有克制的效果，一团团光晕浮现而出，将朱雀之魂的身影包裹。
Over these nearly three months, Lin Xuan had witnessed firsthand how this wondrous treasure was being crafted. Although the exact details were unclear, it was evident that the circular-shaped object was nearing completion. The soul of the Phoenix had fully integrated into the ring, imbuing it with a lively essence. However, its purpose seemed different from ordinary essence spirits.
zhū què yī jiù dòng tán bù dé 。
朱雀依旧动弹不得。
Lin Xuan did not delve deeper; his heart was already filled with anticipation and joy.
wū wū zhèn fǎ yùn zhuàn de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， lín xuān jīng yà de fā xiàn ， zhèn fǎ de wēi lì ， bǐ guò qù zēng jiā le shí bèi bù zhǐ 。
呜呜阵法运转的声音传入耳朵，林轩惊讶的发现，阵法的威力，比过去增加了十倍不止。
The Phoenix Ring—this was the name Lin Xuan gave to this treasure.
zhè yàng qiáng dà de fǎ lì ， jí pǐn jīng shí yě shì tí gōng bù liǎo dì ， néng gòu zuò dào de ， wéi yǒu xiān shí 。
这样强大的法力，极品晶石也是提供不了地，能够做到的，唯有仙石。
It still lacked the final touch for perfection, so its true power remained uncertain. But considering that it contained the soul of a true spirit Phoenix and was powered by an immortal stone array, its might could not be underestimated. It was likely among the top treasures in the realm of heavenly treasures, perhaps even one of the best.
nán dào yǎn qián de zhèn fǎ ， jìng shì yǐ xiān shí zuò wéi néng yuán bù xià ？
难道眼前的阵法，竟是以仙石作为能源布下？
As time passed, Lin Xuan’s expectations grew.
lín xuān chú le jīng yà hái shì jīng yà 。
林轩除了惊讶还是惊讶。
It was a peaceful morning. Sunlight pierced through the dawn, casting warmth upon the earth. Early birds began to sing as they searched for tasty insects in the forest.
zhè yì diǎn ， què shì zì jǐ ， yì zhí yě méi yǒu fā xiàn de 。
这一点，却是自己，一直也没有发现的。
Lin Xuan had not slept last night either. For a cultivator, this was nothing unusual. His face was filled with excitement and his eyes wide open. After long periods of waiting, he finally saw hope. The miraculous Phoenix Ring was about to be completed.
dàn xiǎng xiǎng ， yě bù xī qí ， zhè zhèn fǎ de xuán miào ， yuán běn jiù chāo chū le zì jǐ de rèn zhī 。
但想想，也不稀奇，这阵法的玄妙，原本就超出了自己的认知。
Although Lin Xuan was no master of alchemy, his expertise was considerable enough to recognize the joy on his face as he silently waited.
bǎo wù liàn zhì de guò chéng ， yī jiù yǒu tiáo bù wěn de chí xù 。
宝物炼制的过程，依旧有条不紊的持续。
Suddenly, Lin Xuan’s pupils constricted. His previously joyful expression turned grim.
……
……
He turned his head and released his mental senses. A powerful cultivator was rapidly approaching this place.
yī huǎng yǎn ， yòu guò le sān yuè yǒu yú 。
一晃眼，又过了三月有余。
It was easy to gauge their strength; while they had retained some of their spiritual energy, it was clear that their power was formidable. One of the outermost arrays he had set up was instantly breached.
zhè jìn bǎi tiān de shí jiān lǐ ， lín xuān qīn yǎn mù dǔ le zhè shén miào de bǎo wù ， shì rú hé liàn zhì ， jù tǐ de guò chéng ， suī bù tài qīng chǔ ， dàn suí zhe shí jiān de tuī yí ， zhè yuán huán xíng zhuàng de bǎo wù ， xiǎn rán kuài yào liàn zhì chéng gōng le 。
这近百天的时间里，林轩亲眼目睹了这神妙的宝物，是如何炼制，具体的过程，虽不太清楚，但随着时间的推移，这圆环形状的宝物，显然快要炼制成功了。
Since Lin Xuan himself had laid out the array, its power was well known to him. He would not have broken through so quickly if he had done it himself.
nà zhū què de hún pò ， yǐ wán quán róng rù le yuán huán lǐ ， ràng cǐ bǎo biàn dé líng xìng shí zú ， dàn ruò shuō yòng tú ， xiǎn rán yǔ yì bān de qì líng yòu shì bù tóng de 。
那朱雀的魂魄，已完全融入了圆环里，让此宝变得灵性十足，但若说用途，显然与一般的器灵又是不同的。
In other words, the opponent must be a late-stage cultivator.
lín xuān méi yǒu qù xì xì chuǎi mó ， rú jīn tā de xīn zhōng ， yǐ bèi qī dài yǔ xǐ yuè gěi tián mǎn le 。
林轩没有去细细揣摩，如今他的心中，已被期待与喜悦给填满了。
If his guess was correct, they were likely not an early-stage cultivator either.
zhū què huán ， zhè shì lín xuān wèi cǐ bǎo qǔ de míng zì 。
朱雀环，这是林轩为此宝取的名字。
Was his initial assumption about to come true? The old monster crafting this treasure might actually be a late-stage cultivator.
jù lí liàn zhì chéng gōng hái shāo qiàn huǒ hòu ， gù ér dào dǐ yǒu zěn yàng de wēi lì hái nán yǐ píng gū ， dàn xiǎng xiǎng ， cǐ bǎo zhōng róng rù le zhēn líng zhū què de hún pò ， liàn zhì tā de zhèn fǎ ， yòu shì yǐ xiān shí zuò wèi néng yuán ， huā fèi zhè yàng de fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， wēi lì zì rán shì xiǎo bú dào nǎ lǐ qù de 。
距离炼制成功还稍欠火候，故而到底有怎样的威力还难以评估，但想想，此宝中融入了真灵朱雀的魂魄，炼制牠的阵法，又是以仙石做为能源，花费这样的非同小可，威力自然是小不到哪里去的。
Lin Xuan’s expression turned dark. After such a long period of safety, why did something happen just as the treasure was nearing completion?
xiān tiān pǐn jí bù gǎn shuō ， dàn zài xuán tiān zhī bǎo lǐ ， xiǎng bì yě shì jí wéi dǐng jiān zhī wù 。
先天品级不敢说，但在玄天之宝里，想必也是极为顶尖之物。

It was a fiery red immortal bird!
With a body length of over ten feet, it had narrow eyes and long feathers. At first glance, it resembled the phoenix in every way except for its slenderer form and an extremely haughty demeanor that seemed to exude the aura of a ruler of the world.
Phoenix!
