dāng rán ， zhè lǐ zhǐ de tòu chè ， bìng bú shì jiāng tā de xuán ào nòng qīng chǔ 。
当然，这里指的透彻，并不是将它的玄奥弄清楚。
Of course, the thorough understanding here does not mean unraveling its profound mysteries.
lín xuān de zhèn fǎ zào yì ， yuǎn méi yǒu dào nà yī bù ， tā yě bú huì yǒu rú cǐ bù qiē shí jì de mù biāo lái zhe 。
林轩的阵法造诣，远没有到那一步，他也不会有如此不切实际的目标来着。
Lin Xuan's expertise in array formations was far from that level. He would never have such unrealistic goals either.
lín xuān de xìng gé ， jué dìng le tā jué bú huì shì jiāo ào zì dà de rén wù ， liàng lì ér xíng ， xiàng lái shì lín xuān de xíng dòng zhǔn zé 。
林轩的性格，决定了他绝不会是骄傲自大的人物，量力而行，向来是林轩的行动准则。
Lin Xuan’s character ensured he would never be a proud and self-important person; acting within his limits had always been his principle.
zhè lǐ zhǐ de tòu chè ， shì shuō lín xuān huā fèi dà liàng de shí jiān yǔ jīng lì ， nòng qīng chǔ rú hé cóng nà zhèn zhōng ， qǔ chū liàn zhì chéng gōng de bǎo wù 。
这里指的透彻，是说林轩花费大量的时间与精力，弄清楚如何从那阵中，取出炼制成功的宝物。
What is meant by thorough understanding here is that Lin Xuan spent considerable time and effort to figure out how to extract the successfully refined treasures from the array. He could not claim 100% certainty, but there was still a 90% chance of success.
bǎi fēn zhī bǎi de bǎ wò bù gǎn shuō ， dàn jiǔ chéng yǐ shàng de chéng gōng lǜ hái shì yǒu de 。
百分之百的把握不敢说，但九成以上的成功率还是有的。
The situation was urgent now. Without any hesitation, Lin Xuan's avatar immediately acted upon the successful creation of the Vermilion Bird Ring. With a burst of demonic energy, he rushed into the airspace above the lava lake. At the same time, his sleeve brushed out several treasures in an instant.
cǐ kè qíng shì wēi jí ， lín xuān de huà shēn ， zì rán yě bú huì yǒu bàn fēn de yóu yù ， jī hū zài zhū què huán liàn zhì chéng gōng de tóng shí ， tā jiù chū shǒu le 。
此刻情势危急，林轩的化身，自然也不会有半分的犹豫，几乎在朱雀环炼制成功的同时，他就出手了。
These were not for attacking but for defense. Although the primary function of this array was to refine artifacts, its complexity and profundity made Lin Xuan cautious and unwilling to take any chances.
hún shēn mó qì pēn bó ， chōng jìn le nà róng yán zhī hú de shàng kōng 。
浑身魔气喷薄，冲进了那熔岩之湖的上空。
However, there was no anticipated attack. With almost no effort, Lin Xuan arrived at a distance of about ten feet from the Vermilion Bird Ring.
tóng shí huà shēn xiù páo yī fú ， shù jiàn bǎo bèi yǐ zài dàn zhǐ jiān bèi tā jì chū 。
同时化身袖袍一拂，数件宝贝已在弹指间被他祭出。
Upon close inspection, the beauty and intricacy of this treasure were awe-inspiring. It had finally been successfully refined, its red light shimmering with various mystical runes that flickered and changed.
bìng bú shì yòng yú gōng jī ， ér shì fáng yù ， yǎn qián zhèn fǎ de zhǔ yào zuò yòng suī shì liàn qì ， dàn bó dà jīng shēn yǐ jí ， lín xuān yě shì bù gǎn yǒu fēn háo de qīng xīn yǔ dà yì 。
并不是用于攻击，而是防御，眼前阵法的主要作用虽是炼器，但博大精深以极，林轩也是不敢有分毫的轻心与大意。
There was an indistinct image of a Vermilion Bird emerging, and the aura it emitted made people feel uncomfortable. However, Lin Xuan did not have time to admire these details.
rán ér bìng méi yǒu yù xiǎng de gōng jī ， lín xuān jī hū shì bù fèi chuī huī zhī lì ， jiù lái dào le nà zhū què huán shēn qián zhàng xǔ zhī dì 。
然而并没有预想的攻击，林轩几乎是不费吹灰之力，就来到了那朱雀环身前丈许之地。
Without hesitation, he reached out his hand towards this treasure. The Vermilion Bird Ring was incredibly complex; whether or not one could control it was uncertain. But as an unclaimed artifact, merely taking possession of it gave him some confidence.
jìn jù lí kàn zhè bǎo wù ， gěi rén de zhèn hàn gèng shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。
近距离看这宝物，给人的震撼更是非同小可。
The result proved that today's luck was indeed good, almost as if guided by divine intervention. He successfully grabbed the Vermilion Bird Ring in his hand.
rú jīn tā zhōng yú liàn zhì chéng gōng ， qí měi lì jīng qiǎo nán yǐ yòng yán yǔ biǎo shù 。
如今它终于炼制成功，其美丽精巧难以用言语表述。
A clear ringing sound echoed around. The ring quickly shrank from a house-sized object to its original size. Without further ado, Lin Xuan took it and flew towards one side of the cave entrance where he had prepared earlier.
biǎo miàn hóng sè de guāng yùn liú zhuǎn ， bù tíng de yǒu gè zhǒng xuán miào de fú wén shǎn shuò biàn huàn 。
表面红色的光晕流转，不停的有各种玄妙的符文闪烁变幻。
---
yǐn yǐn hái yǒu zhū què de xū yǐng fú xiàn ér chū ， suǒ sàn fà chū lái de wēi yā gèng shì ràng rén jué de hún shēn nán guò 。
隐隐还有朱雀的虚影浮现而出，所散发出来的威压更是让人觉得浑身难过。
On the other side, above the rock cave,
bù guò cǐ shí cǐ kè ， lín xuān yǐ méi yǒu xīn qíng qù xīn shǎng shén me 。
不过此时此刻，林轩已没有心情去欣赏什么。
"Damnit, you actually have accomplices!"
méi yǒu rèn hé chí yí ， shēn shǒu cháo zhe zhè jiàn bǎo wù zhuā le guò qù 。
没有任何迟疑，伸手朝着这件宝物抓了过去。
The powerful spirit was enraged. He hadn't considered Lin Xuan as a serious threat, but now, this ant-like creature had toyed with him. It turned out that there were others in the underground cave.
nà zhū què huán shì xuán miào wú bǐ ， néng bù néng qū shǐ dōu shì liǎng shuō ， dàn bì jìng shì méi yǒu rèn zhǔ de bǎo wù ， jǐn jǐn shì jiāng qí qǔ dào shǒu lǐ ， lín xuān hái shì pǒ yǒu jǐ fēn bǎ wò 。
那朱雀环是玄妙无比，能不能驱使都是两说，但毕竟是没有认主的宝物，仅仅是将其取到手里，林轩还是颇有几分把握。
As soon as Lin Xuan's avatar moved to retrieve the treasure, his presence became exposed. The spirit was furious; he wished to devour and tear apart Lin Xuan alive, yet did not immediately act.
jié guǒ zhèng míng ， tā jīn tiān de yùn qì dàng zhēn bù cuò ， shèn zhì kě yǐ shuō ， yǔ rú yǒu shén zhù xiāng chà fǎng fú 。 yòu shì fēn háo chè zhǒu yě wú ， lín xuān chéng gōng jiāng nà zhū què huán zhuā zài le shǒu zhōng 。
结果证明，他今天的运气当真不错，甚至可以说，与如有神助相差仿佛。又是分毫掣肘也无，林轩成功将那朱雀环抓在了手中。
At his level of power, he could not afford to be careless about priorities. Retrieving the treasure was now the most important task.
shà shí jiān qīng míng shēng dà zuò 。
霎时间清鸣声大做。
Black light enveloped him as he flew towards the underground cave entrance.
yuán běn rú yī jiān fáng wū bān dà xiǎo de zhū què huán xùn sù suō xiǎo le 。
原本如一间房屋般大小的朱雀环迅速缩小了。
"Think you can escape me? I am no paper figure!"
lín xuān èr huà bù shuō ， jiāng tā qǔ dào le shǒu lǐ 。
林轩二话不说，将它取到了手里。
This time, Lin Xuan refused to let this happen. His avatar had yet to leave; he needed more time. For him, a real test began anew.
suí hòu huà wèi yī dào jīng hóng xiàng yán dòng de yī cè fēi qù 。
随后化为一道惊虹像岩洞的一侧飞去。
Lin Xuan's sleeve brushed out another treasure. This one was just in his palm and could be retrieved quickly. It was about a foot tall, resembling a refining cauldron. Its ancient design exuded mystery, clearly not an ordinary item.
nà ér yǒu lín xuān yī zǎo jiù zuò hǎo de bù zhì 。
那儿有林轩一早就做好的布置。
Spiritual Cauldron!
……
……
The Celestial Treasure was naturally significant, but its key feature was that it could instantly unleash ancient powerful spells. Used here, it was perfect.
lìng yī biān ， yán dòng shàng miàn 。
另一边，岩洞上面。
As Lin Xuan summoned this treasure, he uttered a strange incantation, short and ancient. Simultaneously, his hands waved through the air, drawing mysterious trajectories.
“ kě wù ， nǐ jū rán hái yǒu tóng huǒ ！”
“可恶，你居然还有同伙！”
With each of Lin Xuan's movements, the sky changed.
nà yīn hún qiáng zhě bó rán dà nù ， yuán běn tā méi yǒu jiāng lín xuān fàng zài yǎn lǐ ， bù xiǎng ， zì jǐ què bèi yǎn qián de lóu yǐ xì shuǎ le 。
那阴魂强者勃然大怒，原本他没有将林轩放在眼里，不想，自己却被眼前的蝼蚁戏耍了。
The originally pitch-black sky now had countless bright points streaking across it.
yuán lái tā bú shì yí gè rén 。 jū rán hái yǒu tóng huǒ ， liú zài nà dì xià yán dòng lǐ 。
原来他不是一个人。居然还有同伙，留在那地下岩洞里。
Like beautiful meteors, they descended in such numbers that it seemed like a rain of fire.
dāng lín xuān de huà shēn dòng shēn qǔ bǎo de yī kè ， shēn xíng jiù chè dǐ bào lù diào le 。
当林轩的化身动身取宝的一刻，身形就彻底暴露掉了。
This spell was named accordingly: Meteor Fire Rain!
yīn hún bó rán dà nù ， nà yī kè ， tā hèn bù dé jiāng lín xuān shēng tūn huó bō ， dàn què bìng méi yǒu lì kè dòng shǒu 。
阴魂勃然大怒，那一刻，他恨不得将林轩生吞活剥，但却并没有立刻动手。
One of the ancient fire attribute spells with immense power. Legend said it could destroy heaven and earth. Beautiful meteors traced mysterious paths through the void, colliding with their target.
shí lì dào le tā zhè ge děng jí ， yòu qǐ huì fēn bù qīng qīng zhòng huǎn jí ， rú jīn ， duó huí bǎo wù cái shì zuì zhòng yào dì 。
实力到了他这个等级，又岂会分不清轻重缓急，如今，夺回宝物才是最重要地。
Lin Xuan had used this move against Tiaomu before; though this opponent seemed even more formidable, he did not believe it would be useless.
hún shēn hēi máng dà qǐ 。 tā xiàng zhe nà dì xià yán dòng fēi le guò qù 。
浑身黑芒大起。他向着那地下岩洞飞了过去。
"Die!"
“ xiǎng zǒu ， dāng lín mǒu shì zhǐ rén me ？”
“想走，当林某是纸人么？”
Anger flashed in the spirit's eyes. He was only at the early stage of tribulation, and the power of a Celestial Treasure could not be ignored by him.
zhè yī cì què shì lín xuān bù gàn le ， huà shēn hái méi yǒu lí kāi zhè lǐ 。 rú jīn hái xū yào tuō yán xià qù ， duì tā lái shuō ， zhēn zhèng de kǎo yàn cái chóng xīn kāi shǐ 。
这一次却是林轩不干了，化身还没有离开这里。如今还需要拖延下去，对他来说，真正的考验才重新开始。
This little guy was reckless, trying to stall him here.
lín xuān xiù páo yī fú ， yī jiàn bǎo wù fú xiàn ér chū ， zhè dōng xī ， gāng gāng jiù zài tā shǒu zhǎng lǐ ， xiàn zài qǔ chū lái ， zì rán shì kuài jié wú bǐ 。
林轩袖袍一拂，一件宝物浮现而出，这东西，刚刚就在他手掌里，现在取出来，自然是快捷无比。
Before this thought fully formed, something unexpected happened.
gāo chǐ xǔ ， xíng zhuàng yǔ liàn dān de dǐng lú xiāng chà fǎng fú 。 zào xíng gǔ piáo ， biǎo miàn de huā wén gèng yǒu shén mì de qì xī tòu chū ， yī kàn jiù bú shì fán wù 。
高尺许，形状与炼丹的鼎炉相差仿佛。造型古朴，表面的花纹更有神秘的气息透出，一看就不是凡物。
Silver light suddenly flared as the Nine Palaces Sword, which had been reduced to powder by the array's force, reappeared one by one.
líng jué dǐng ！
灵诀鼎！
"Impossible. Destroyed treasures can't be reborn. Could it be..."
xuán tiān líng bǎo zì rán fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， guān jiàn shì ， tā kě yǐ shùn fā shàng gǔ dà wēi lì fǎ shù 。 yòng zài cǐ chù ， nà shì zuì wèi shì hé 。
玄天灵宝自然非同小可，关键是，它可以瞬发上古大威力法术。用在此处，那是最为适合。
This guy was no fool; he had already considered the possibility of the sword spirit becoming ethereal, but that was too unbelievable. The sword spirit becoming ethereal was a unique technique of Fairy Hundred Flowers and could not have been passed on to others.
lín xuān zài jì chū cǐ bǎo de tóng shí ， kǒu zhōng yǒu xuán miào yì cháng de zhòu yǔ tǔ chū ， gǔ piáo què hěn duǎn cù ， tóng shí shuāng shǒu huī wǔ 。 zài xū kōng zhōng yǒu xuán miào de guǐ jì huá guò 。
林轩在祭出此宝的同时，口中有玄妙异常的咒语吐出，古朴却很短促，同时双手挥舞。在虚空中有玄妙的轨迹划过。
The spirit was shocked, but Lin Xuan did not miss this opportunity. His hands moved swiftly, releasing stream after stream of magical runes from his fingertips while pouring immense amounts of spiritual energy into the treasure before him.
suí zhe le lín xuān de dòng zuò ， zhěng gè tiān kōng fā shēng biàn huà le 。
随着了林轩的动作，整个天空发生变化了。
Instantly, silver light intensified as the Nine Palaces Sword became even more dazzling.
yuán běn qī hēi rú mò ， cǐ kè què yǒu wú shù liàng diǎn huá guò 。
原本漆黑如墨，此刻却有无数亮点划过。
"Combine!"
xiàng liú xīng yì bān měi lì ， yīn wèi shù liàng tài duō ， fǎng fú xià le yī cháng yǔ 。
像流星一般美丽，因为数量太多，仿佛下了一场雨。
Lin Xuan shot another spell forward.
cǐ fǎ shù yě yīn cǐ dé dào le tā de míng zì 。
此法术也因此得到了他的名字。
With each movement, all sword lights converged towards a single point.
liú xīng huǒ yǔ ！
流星火雨！
"This foolish creature wants to use Giant Sword Technique. You've already tried this low-level spell; what purpose does it serve for you?"
shàng gǔ huǒ shǔ xìng dà wēi lì de mì zhòu zhī yī 。
上古火属性大威力的密咒之一。
The spirit was shocked and angry but also showed disdain.
chuán shuō kě yǐ huǐ tiān miè dì ， wú shù měi lì de liú xīng zài xū kōng zhōng huá guò yī dào dào xuán miào de guǐ jì ， xiàng zhe duì fāng hōng rán zhuàng qù 。
传说可以毁天灭地，无数美丽的流星在虚空中划过一道道玄妙的轨迹，向着对方轰然撞去。
But in the next moment, he was stunned.
lín xuān céng yòng zhè yī zhāo duì fù táo wù ， suī rán yǎn qián de jiā huo ， sì hū bǐ táo wù hái yào nán duì fù ， dàn lín xuān bù xiāng xìn ， huì sī háo zuò yòng yě wú 。
林轩曾用这一招对付梼杌，虽然眼前的家伙，似乎比梼杌还要难对付，但林轩不相信，会丝毫作用也无。
All sword lights began to merge into a silver beam that pierced the sky.
“ zhǎo sǐ ！”
“找死！”
Then, it transformed into a phoenix about a hundred meters long with wings spread wide. The momentum was terrifying.
nà yīn hún de yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī fèn nù ， tā bì jìng zhǐ shì dù jié chū qī de cún zài bà le ， xuán tiān líng bǎo de wēi néng fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， tā bù kě néng shì ruò wú wù 。
那阴魂的眼中闪过一丝愤怒，他毕竟只是渡劫初期的存在罢了，玄天灵宝的威能非同小可，他不可能视若无物。
"What is this?"
zhè xiǎo jiā huo bù zhī dào sǐ huó ， jū rán xiǎng yào zài zhè lǐ jiāng zì jǐ tuō yán zhù 。
这小家伙不知道死活，居然想要在这里将自己拖延住。
The spirit gaped, almost thinking he had misjudged. The phoenix's presence was far more than just an illusionary transformation.
zhè ge niàn tou shàng wèi zhuǎn guò ， dà chū tā yì liào de yí mù yòu chū xiàn le 。
这个念头尚未转过，大出他意料的一幕又出现了。
"Let you see the power of my Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix!"
zhǐ jiàn yín máng zhòu qǐ ， yuán běn bèi fǎ zé zhī lì huà wèi fěn mò de jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn jū rán yī bǐng yòu yī bǐng de chū xiàn le 。
只见银芒骤起，原本被法则之力化为粉末的九宫须臾剑居然一柄又一柄的出现了。
Lin Xuan roared. With a spread of its wings, the giant phoenix let out a nine-heavenly call. Its momentum surged into the clouds, raising the temperature around it and sending fiery winds towards the opponent with great force.
“ bù kě néng ， huǐ diào de bǎo wù ， zěn me kě néng chóng shēng ne ， nán dào shuō ……”
“不可能，毁掉的宝物，怎么可能重生呢，难道说……”
This was not an ordinary transformation; Lin Xuan had infused his true essence with celestial phoenix blood to command this technique. The power was immense—ordinary early-stage tribulation survivors couldn't withstand it. However, this opponent was far beyond a regular tribulation entity, making its effectiveness uncertain.
Of course, the thorough understanding here does not mean unraveling its profound mysteries.
Lin Xuan's expertise in array formations was far from that level. He would never have such unrealistic goals either.
Lin Xuan’s character ensured he would never be a proud and self-important person; acting within his limits had always been his principle.
