“ qián bèi ， qǐng ！“
“前辈，请！“
"Senior, please!"
“ zhè ér jiù shì jǔ xíng jiāo huàn huì de suǒ zài ？” lín xuān mō le mō xià bā ， ruò yǒu suǒ sī de shuō 。
“这儿就是举行交换会的所在？”林轩摸了摸下巴，若有所思的说。
"Is this where the exchange meeting takes place?" Lin Xuan stroked his chin and said thoughtfully.
“ bù cuò ， zhè lǐ jiù shì yíng fèng gé ！”
“不错，这里就是迎凤阁！”
"Indeed. This is the Eagle Nest Pavilion!"
duì fāng gōng jìng yì cháng de kāi kǒu le 。
对方恭敬异常的开口了。
The other party spoke with great respect.
dé dào kěn dìng de dá fù ， lín xuān yǎn jīng wēi mī ， dǎ liàng qǐ yǎn qián de jiàn zhù ， tā jū rán shì xuán fú zài bàn kōng zhōng de 。
得到肯定的答复，林轩眼睛微眯，打量起眼前的建筑，它居然是悬浮在半空中的。
With a confirmed answer, Lin Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly as he sized up the building before him. It was悬浮 in mid-air, towering dozens of feet high and extremely spacious. Rather than being described as a pavilion, it would be more fitting to call it a palace.
gāo shù shí zhàng ， jí shì kuān guǎng ， yǔ qí shuō chéng yī dòng gé lóu ， dào bù rú jiǎng chéng yī zuò gōng diàn gèng jiā shì hé 。
高数十丈，极是宽广，与其说成一栋阁楼，倒不如讲成一座宫殿更加适合。
The atmosphere was grand and exquisitely beautiful, possibly surpassing even the imperial palaces of the secular world in scale.
qì shì páng bó ， huá lì dào jí chù 。
气势磅礴，华丽到极处。
However, what Lin Xuan was interested in wasn't its splendor or beauty. The reason this structure could hover mid-air was because there was a massive light array supporting its base. This array was incredibly complex, composed of numerous arcane and extraordinary runes arranged in intricate patterns. With his understanding of arrays, Lin Xuan could only make out a few elements.
kǒng pà shì sú de huáng gōng yǔ qí xiāng bǐ ， yě yào dà wèi xùn sè 。
恐怕世俗的皇宫与其相比，也要大为逊色。
Clearly, this wasn't just a simple levitation technique; it also had extremely powerful defensive effects. If someone with malicious intent controlled this array, he would be trapped the moment he entered the building.
bù guò lín xuān kàn zhòng de ， bìng bú shì tā de huá guì měi lì ， cǐ jiàn zhù zhī suǒ yǐ néng zài bàn kōng xuán fú ， shì yīn wèi tā de dǐ bù ， yǒu yī jù dà de guāng zhèn tuō zhe 。
不过林轩看中的，并不是它的华贵美丽，此建筑之所以能在半空悬浮，是因为它的底部，有一巨大的光阵托着。
Lin Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly. Although he couldn't understand this array, if his guess was correct, even a Spirit Cultivator at the Filamentary Stage would find it incredibly difficult to escape once ensnared.
cǐ guāng zhèn fù zá yǐ jí ， nǎi shì yóu xǔ duō xuán ào yì cháng de fú wén pái liè zǔ hé ér chéng dì ， yǐ lín xuān de zhèn fǎ zào yì ， néng gòu kàn dǒng de dōng xī ， yě liáo liáo wú jǐ 。
此光阵复杂以极，乃是由许多玄奥异常的符文排列组合而成地，以林轩的阵法造诣，能够看懂的东西，也寥寥无几。
This Li Hai True Man was truly not something to be underestimated. He had never seen such high-level arrays in other Spirit Cultivators' abodes.
bù guò xiǎn rán ， zhè bú shì pǔ tōng de piāo fú shù ， hái jiān jù jí wéi qiáng hàn de fáng yù xiào guǒ 。
不过显然，这不是普通的漂浮术，还兼具极为强悍的防御效果。
Lin Xuan muttered to himself but showed no hesitation, his entire body emitting a green glow as he flew towards the magnificent structure.
ruò shì cǐ zhèn fǎ bèi yǒu xīn rén cāo kòng ， zì jǐ yī jìn rù nà dòng jiàn zhù ， jiù huì xiàn shēn qí zhōng 。
若是此阵法被有心人操控，自己一进入那栋建筑，就会陷身其中。
Whether or not the Li Hai True Man harbored ill intentions, with his strength, could he be outsmarted?
lín xuān yǎn jīng wēi wēi mī qǐ lái le 。
林轩眼睛微微眯起来了。
To Lin Xuan, the Filamentary Stage was just ants. He had no need for much caution, being bold and daring.
cǐ zhèn fǎ zì jǐ suī rán kàn bù dǒng ， dàn ruò shì méi yǒu liào cuò ， jiù shì fēn shén qī xiū shì xiàn shēn qí zhōng ， xiǎng yào lí kāi ， nà yě shì qiān nán wàn nán 。
此阵法自己虽然看不懂，但若是没有料错，就是分神期修士陷身其中，想要离开，那也是千难万难。
Soon, Lin Xuan entered the pavilion without any additional actions. The light curtain split open to reveal a passage of about ten feet in diameter.
zhè léi kōng zhēn rén ， hái zhēn shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， qí tā fēn shén qī xiū shì de dòng fǔ ， wàn wàn nán yǐ jiàn dào zhè zhǒng děng jí de zhèn fǎ lái zhe 。
这雷空真人，还真是非同小可，其他分神期修士的洞府，万万难以见到这种等级的阵法来着。
Lin Xuan's eyes flashed as he flew into it without hesitation.
lín xuān xīn zhōng dí gū 。
林轩心中嘀咕。
---
bù guò què yě méi yǒu lù chū duō shǎo chí yí zhī sè ， hún shēn qīng máng yì qǐ ， jiù xiàng nà huī hóng de jiàn zhù fēi le guò qù 。
不过却也没有露出多少迟疑之色，浑身青芒一起，就像那恢宏的建筑飞了过去。
Dizzy!
guǎn léi kōng zhēn rén shì bú shì yǒu dǎi yì ， yǐ zì jǐ de shí lì nán dào hái pà bèi tā gěi suàn jì ？
管雷空真人是不是有歹意，以自己的实力难道还怕被他给算计？
After entering the building, Lin Xuan felt a dizzying sensation.
qū qū fēn shén qī zài lín xuān kàn lái ， yě bù guò shì lóu yǐ ， yì gāo rén dǎn dà de tā ， zì rán wú xū yǒu tài duō de gù jì 。
区区分神期在林轩看来，也不过是蝼蚁，艺高人胆大的他，自然无需有太多的顾忌。
He was alarmed but realized that his current strength should not have caused such discomfort even with long-distance teleportation. Could it be that Li Hai True Man had broad social connections on the surface but was secretly cunning and deceitful, planning to harm them?
hěn kuài lín xuān jiù fēi jìn le gé lóu ， yě bú jiàn tā yǒu duō yú dòng zuò ， nà guāng mù jiù zì jǐ liè kāi le yì zhí jìng zhàng xǔ de tōng dào ， yìng rù le yǎn lián 。
很快林轩就飞进了阁楼，也不见他有多余动作，那光幕就自己裂开了一直径丈许的通道，映入了眼帘。
Lin Xuan's mind raced as he remained calm. He took a deep breath, and the discomfort gradually dissipated.
lín xuān mù guāng yī shǎn ， háo bù yóu yù de fēi le jìn qù 。
林轩目光一闪，毫不犹豫的飞了进去。
He did not immediately summon any treasures; his own supernatural abilities were stronger than those of the妖族, and his strength far surpassed that of other cultivators at the same stage. The other party would find it difficult to plot against him even if they had ill intentions.
tóu yūn mù xuàn ！
头晕目眩！
So Lin Xuan merely remained vigilant, keeping a close watch.
fēi jìn nà jiàn zhù zhī hòu ， lín xuān jū rán gǎn jué dào le yī zhèn tiān xuán dì zhuàn 。
飞进那建筑之后，林轩居然感觉到了一阵天旋地转。
However, there was no attack. Lin Xuan found himself in a narrow corridor with rough stone walls on both sides. This scene was far from what he had imagined.
lín xuān dà jīng shī sè ， yǐ tā rú jīn de shí lì ， jiù suàn chāo yuǎn jù lí chuán sòng yě nán yǒu rú cǐ bù shì de gǎn jué 。
林轩大惊失色，以他如今的实力，就算超远距离传送也难有如此不适的感觉。
"What's going on?"
nán dào shuō yīn gōu lǐ fān chuán ， nà liè kōng zhēn rén biǎo miàn shàng jiāo yóu guǎng kuò àn dì lǐ ， què shì yī yīn xiǎn jiǎo zhà de jiā huo ， xiǎng yào duì zì jǐ zhè xiē rén bù lì me ？
难道说阴沟里翻船，那裂空真人表面上交游广阔暗地里，却是一阴险狡诈的家伙，想要对自己这些人不利么？
Lin Xuan was surprised but noticed that it didn't seem to be a trap. Yet, if the other party had no malicious intent, everything before him seemed too strange.
lín xuān nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou jí zhuǎn ， què suī jīng bù luàn ， shēn shēn hū xī ， nà bù shì de gǎn jué ， jiù rú cháo shuǐ bān tuì qù 。
林轩脑海中念头急转，却虽惊不乱，深深呼吸，那不适的感觉，就如潮水般退去。
He frowned slightly, his rich experience unable to immediately discern the mystery here.
lín xuān bìng méi yǒu máng zhe jì chū shén me bǎo wù ， bì jìng zì jǐ de shén tōng qiáng rèn chéng dù ， hái yào shèng guò yāo zú ， shí lì zhī qiáng yě yuǎn zài tóng jiē xiū shì zhī shàng ， duì fāng jiù suàn jū xīn pǒ cè xiǎng yào àn suàn zì jǐ yě bú shì nà me róng yì de 。
林轩并没有忙着祭出什么宝物，毕竟自己的神通强韧程度，还要胜过妖族，实力之强也远在同阶修士之上，对方就算居心叵测想要暗算自己也不是那么容易的。
However, while he was amazed, he wasn't afraid. Lin Xuan had faced countless storms and did not believe he would be caught off guard here.
suǒ yǐ lín xuān zhǐ shì xīn zhōng jǐng tì ， àn zì dī fáng ér yǐ 。
所以林轩只是心中警惕，暗自提防而已。
Lin Xuan released his divine sense. The corridor was no more than a hundred feet long. He walked forward without using wind control techniques.
jié guǒ nǎ ér yǒu shén me gōng jī ， lín xuān fā xiàn zì jǐ chū xiàn zài yī xiá cháng de tōng dào lǐ 。
结果哪儿有什么攻击，林轩发现自己出现在一狭长的通道里。
Soon, he reached the end of the corridor, where instead of rough walls, there stood a heavy stone door.
liǎng biān shì cū cāo de yán bì ， zhè 『 bǎi dù tiē ba ☆ wén zì shǒu fā 』 yàng yī fú jǐng xiàng ， què shì lín xuān zuò mèng yě méi yǒu xiǎng dào dì 。
两边是粗糙的岩壁，这『百度贴吧☆文字首发』样一幅景象，却是林轩做梦也没有想到地。
The door had some mysterious runes engraved on it, clearly cut and carved with precision.
“ jiū jìng zěn me huí shì ？”
“究竟怎么回事？”
Lin Xuan's frown deepened as his divine sense searched the door. He found no signs of danger.
lín xuān xīn zhōng jīng qí ， dàn kàn zhè ge yàng zi ， què yòu bìng bù xiàng yǒu mái fú de yàng zi ， dàn ruò shuō duì fāng méi yǒu è yì ， yǎn qián de yī qiè ， wèi miǎn yòu tài gǔ guài le xiē 。
林轩心中惊奇，但看这个样子，却又并不像有埋伏的样子，但若说对方没有恶意，眼前的一切，未免又太古怪了些。
This result left Lin Xuan confused, but regardless of how he thought about it, standing here would not yield any answers.
lín xuān méi tóu wēi wēi zhòu qǐ ， yǐ tā jīng lì zhī fēng fù ， yī shí mǎo piàn kè ， yě cān xiáng bù tòu zhè zhōng jiān yǒu shén me xuán jī 。
林轩眉头微微皱起，以他经历之丰富，一时冇片刻，也参详不透这中间有什么玄机。
After a moment’s hesitation, Lin Xuan reached out to push the stone door forward.
bù guò jīng qí guī jīng qí ， yào shuō pà ， què yě wèi bì 。
不过惊奇归惊奇，要说怕，却也未必。
Bang!
lín xuān jīng lì dà fēng dà làng wú shù ， tā hái zhēn bù xiāng xìn ， zì jǐ huì yīn gōu lǐ fān chuán zài zhè lǐ 。
林轩经历大风大浪无数，他还真不相信，自己会阴沟里翻船在这里。
A bright white light filled the air as the heavy stone door creaked open.
lín xuān jiāng shén shí fàng chū ， fā xiàn zhè tōng dào zhǎng yě bù guò bǎi yú zhàng ér yǐ ， lín xuān mài bù zǒu le guò qù 。
林轩将神识放出，发现这通道长也不过百余丈而已，林轩迈步走了过去。
A grand palace appeared before his eyes.
jǐn guǎn méi yǒu shǐ yòng yù fēng fēi xíng zhī shù ， dàn zhè diǎn jù lí ， zì rán yě huā bù liǎo duō zhǎng shí jiān dì 。
尽管没有使用御风飞行之术，但这点距离，自然也花不了多长时间地。
The entire palace was lavishly decorated, exuding an intimidating aura. However, before Lin Xuan could fully admire it, a commotion caught his attention.
hěn kuài ， lín xuān jiù lái dào le tōng dào de jìn tóu ， nà ér què bìng bú shì cū cāo de qiáng bì ， ér shì yī shàn hòu zhòng de shí mén chù lì yú nà lǐ 。
很快，林轩就来到了通道的尽头，那儿却并不是粗糙的墙壁，而是一扇hòu重的石门矗立于那里。
"Senior Li Hai, what is your intention? You said you would host an exchange meeting but brought us to such an odd place. What's the reason behind this? Are you planning something against us?"
shí mén shàng yǐn yǐn yǒu yī xiē xuán miào yì cháng de wén lù ， hái yǒu yī xiē fú wén rú tóng dāo qiè fǔ xuē ， qīng xī yì cháng de lòu kè zhe 。
石门上隐隐有一些玄妙异常的纹路，还有一些符文如同刀切斧削，清晰异常的镂刻着。
A rough voice echoed, and others around him began to murmur in agreement.
lín xuān méi tóu zài yí cì zhòu qǐ ， jiāng shén shí fàng le chū qù ， zài nà mén shàng lái huí sōu suǒ ， què bìng méi yǒu gǎn jué dào bù tuǒ 。
林轩眉头再一次皱起，将神识放了出去，在那门上来回搜索，却并没有感觉到不妥。
"Indeed, Senior Li Hai, Zhang Yu has known you for over ten thousand years. Do you plan to deceive even your old friend?"
zhè zhǒng jié guǒ ， ràng lín xuān yǒu xiē mí hū ， dàn bù guǎn tā xīn zhōng shì rú hé sī suǒ ， shǎ hū hū de zhàn zài cǐ chù ， zǒng yě dé bú dào yí gè jié guǒ 。
这种结果，让林轩有些迷糊，但不管他心中是如何思索，傻乎乎的站在此处，总也得不到一个结果。
"Exactly! The exchange meeting is something we've all participated in countless times. But based on the setup here, it's clearly not what was advertised."
yīn cǐ lüè yī chí yí ， lín xuān jiù shēn shǒu xiàng qián miàn de shí mén tuī le guò qù 。
因此略一迟疑，林轩就伸手像前面的石门推了过去。
Lin Xuan focused his mind and heard the various discussions. He turned his head towards the left front of the hall where over a hundred cultivators gathered. His divine sense swept across them, revealing that their cultivation levels were indeed formidable—mostly at the Filamentary Stage.
hōng ！
轰！
Moreover, there were few at the initial stage; most were in the middle or late stages.
zhǐ jiàn bái guāng dà zuò ， suí hòu zhī ya yī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà hòu zhòng de shí mén ， jū rán jiù zhè me qīng sōng yì cháng de bèi tuì kāi le 。
只见白光大做，随后吱呀一声传入耳朵，那hòu重的石门，居然就这么轻松异常的被退开了。
These powerful figures' eyes were filled with anger and fear as they surrounded a middle-aged man wearing Daoist robes. He appeared to be around forty years old, with three long strands of beard, an extremely refined appearance, and a Filamentary Stage后期 cultivation level.
yī jù dà de gōng diàn ， yìng rù yǎn lián 。
一巨大的宫殿，映入眼帘。
If his guess was correct, this was the famous Li Hai True Man.
zhěng gè gōng diàn ， zhuāng xiū dé huá lì yǐ jí ， suǒ sàn fà chū lái de qì shì ， lìng rén xīn jì ， dàn lín xuān hái lái bù jí xì xì dǎ liàng yī fān ， jiù bèi yī zhèn xuān huá chǎo nào zhī shēng xī yǐn le shì xiàn 。
整个宫殿，装修得华丽以极，所散发出来的气势，令人心悸，但林轩还来不及细细打量一番，就被一阵喧哗吵闹之声吸引了视线。
Lin Xuan had confidence in his own discernment.
“ léi kōng dào yǒu ， nǐ zhè shì hé yì ， fā tiē shuō yào jǔ xíng jiāo huàn huì ， què jiāng wǒ děng ， piàn dào rú cǐ gǔ guài de dì fāng lái ， jiū jìng shì hé dào lǐ ， mò fēi gé xià jìng xiǎng duì wǒ děng bù lì ？”
“雷空道友，你这是何意，发帖说要举行交换会，却将我等，骗到如此古怪的地方来，究竟是何道理，莫非阁下竟想对我等不利？”
Li Hai True Man stood with a look of wry amusement, bowing repeatedly as if explaining something.
yī cū háo de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， shēng yīn yǔ qì ， dōu duō duō bī rén yǐ jí ， ér tā huà yīn wèi luò ， zhōu wéi qí tā rén ， yě fēn fēn gǔ zào le qǐ lái 。
一粗豪的声音传入耳朵，声音语气，都咄咄逼人以极，而他话音未落，周围其他人，也纷纷鼓噪了起来。
Lin Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of suspicion flashing across them. He initially thought Li Hai True Man was a vain and deceitful person who set up a trap for everyone to fall into, but his current demeanor seemed different.
“ bù cuò ， léi dào yǒu ， zhāng mǒu yǔ nǐ xiāng jiāo ， kě shì yǒu shàng wàn nián ， mò fēi nǐ lián wǒ zhè lǎo yǒu yě yào piàn ？”
“不错，雷道友，张某与你相交，可是有上万年，莫非你连我这老友也要骗？”
Could there be more to this? Lin Xuan's mind raced as today's events were too strange, leaving him at a loss for words.
“ jiù shì ， jiāo huàn huì ， wǒ děng zài zuò de dào yǒu ， nǎ yí gè bú shì cān jiā liǎo wú shù cì ， kě kàn zhēn rén nǐ de bù zhì ， què wán quán bú shì nà me huí shì 。”
“就是，交换会，我等在座的道友，哪一个不是参加了无数次，可看真人你的布置，却完全不是那么回事。”
Unlike the other cultivators, Lin Xuan showed no signs of panic. This was the result of his boldness and daring.
lín xuān shāo yī níng shén ， nà xiē fēn fán de yì lùn shēng jiù fēn fēn chuán rù le ěr lǐ ， tā xún shēng zhuǎn guò tóu lú ， zhǐ jiàn zài dà tīng de zuǒ qián fāng ， jù jí zhe bǎi 『 mèng yǐ qǐ háng ☆ qīng yì ěr yǎ 』 yú míng xiū xiān zhě ， lín xuān shén shí sǎo guò ， zhè xiē jiā huo de xiū wèi dàng zhēn shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， wú yī lì wài ， quán shì fēn shén jí bié de 。
林轩稍一凝神，那些纷繁的议论声就纷纷传入了耳里，他循声转过头颅，只见在大厅的左前方，聚集着百『梦已启航☆清逸尔雅』余名修仙者，林轩神识扫过，这些家伙的修为当真是非同小可，无一例外，全是分神级别的。
"Dear fellow cultivators, why would I harm you? Indeed, an exchange meeting is just a facade. In reality, my master wishes to gather everyone!"
"Senior, please!"
"Is this where the exchange meeting takes place?" Lin Xuan stroked his chin and said thoughtfully.
"Indeed. This is the Eagle Nest Pavilion!"
The other party spoke with great respect.
"Oh?"
With a confirmed answer, Lin Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly as he sized up the building before him. It was悬浮 in mid-air, towering dozens of feet high and extremely spacious. Rather than being described as a pavilion, it would be more fitting to call it a palace.

To Lin Xuan, the Filamentary Stage was just ants. He had no need for much caution, being bold and daring.
Soon, Lin Xuan entered the pavilion without any additional actions. The light curtain split open to reveal a passage of about ten feet in diameter.
