qīng yán zūn zhě dà jīng shī sè， rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tā yòu nǎ yǒu jī huì kě duǒ ， lín xuān dòu fǎ jīng yàn hé děng fēng fù ， zhè yī jī ， zhèng shì tā 1rì lì gāng jǐn ， xīn lì wèi shēng de yī kè 。
青颜尊者大惊失sè，然而此时此刻，他又哪有机会可躲，林轩斗法经验何等丰富，这一击，正是他1rì力刚尽，新力未生的一刻。
Qingyan Zunzheng was shocked, but he had no time to dodge. Lin Xuan's combat experience was incredibly rich; this attack came at the moment when his current strength was waning and new power hadn't yet replenished.
shí jī qià dào hǎo chù ， nà yuán yīng de liǎn shàng mǎn shì yuàn dú ， què zhǐ néng yǎn zhēng zhēng de bèi yú wǎng gěi zhào zhù 。
时机恰到好处，那元婴的脸上满是怨毒，却只能眼睁睁的被渔网给罩住。
The timing was perfect. The yuanxian on his face was filled with malice, but it could only watch helplessly as he was ensnared by a fishing net.
bù guò tā zì rán bú huì shù shǒu jiù fù ， cǐ kè zhè jiā huo de huái zhōng hái bào zhe yī kē lóng yǎn dà xiǎo de yuán zhū ， biǎo miàn yín wén pēn bó ， yě bù zhī jiū jìng shì shén me bù fán de bǎo wù 。
不过他自然不会束手就缚，此刻这家伙的怀中还抱着一颗龙眼大小的圆珠，表面银纹喷薄，也不知究竞是什么不凡的宝物。
However, he wouldn't surrender easily. In his arms, he clutched a round gem the size of a dragon's eye, its surface radiating silver patterns. No one knew what kind of precious treasure this might be.
yī shēng qīng chì shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， suí hòu biàn jiàn qīng yán zūn zhě de yuán yīng zhāng kāi le xiǎo kǒu ， qīng guāng pēn bó ， tǔ chū lái de què shì tā de běn mìng yuán huǒ 。
一声轻叱声传入耳朵，随后便见青颜尊者的元婴张开了小口，青光喷薄，吐出来的却是他的本命元火。
A soft exclamation entered Lin Xuan's ears as Qingyan Zunzheng's yuanxian opened its mouth and emitted a burst of green light, expelling his innate primordial fire.
zhè dōng xī yǔ běn mìng yuán qì yǒu yì qǔ tóng gōng de xiào guǒ ， dōu shì yòng yì diǎn shǎo yì diǎn ， quē diǎn hěn xǐng mù ， dàn wēi lì què yě shì jué duì bù sú 。
这东西与本命元气有异曲同工的效果，都是用一点少一点，缺点很醒目，但威力却也是绝对不俗。
This fire had the same effect as innate primordial energy—it diminished with use. Its weakness was obvious, but its power was formidable nonetheless.
cǐ huǒ yī yǔ nà yuán zhū jiē chù ， lì kè biàn ní niú rù hǎi bān de bèi xī yǐn jìn qù le 。
此火一与那圆珠接触，立刻便泥牛入海般的被吸引进去了。
The moment this fire touched the round gem, it was immediately drawn in like a stone thrown into deep water.
suí hòu cǐ yuán zhū hū míng hū àn ， guāng yùn zhuǎn zhé zhī jiān ， huà wèi le yī bǐng chǐ xǔ lái zhǎng de xiān jiàn 。
随后此圆珠忽明忽暗，光晕转折之间，化为了一柄尺许来长的仙剑。
Then, the gem flickered between bright and dim light, transforming into a sword about a foot long.
yuán yīng yī dào fǎ jué dǎ chū ， hún shēn de líng lì ， gèng shì sī háo bǎo liú yě wú ， rú jiāng hé jué dī bān cháo zhe nà xiān jiàn fēng kuáng zhù rù 。
元婴一道法诀打出，浑身的灵力，更是丝毫保留也无，如江河决堤般朝着那仙剑疯狂注入。
A technique was cast by the yuanxian, and all of its essence energy poured into the sword without reservation. The sky seemed to distort as Lin Xuan sensed an aura of法则 power emanating from this treasure.
yāo kōng niǔ qū ， lín xuān yǐn yǐn gǎn jué cǐ bǎo biǎo miàn ， jìng sàn fà chū yī sī lìng rù xīn jì de fǎ zé zhī lì 。
夭空扭曲，林轩隐隐感觉此宝表面，竞散发出一丝令入心悸的法则之力。
The sword shone brightly, slicing forward with ferocity.
lì máng yào mù ， hěn hěn cháo zhe qián fāng pī kǎn ér qù le 。
厉芒耀目，狠狠朝着前方劈砍而去了。
This attack left no room for sparing; it aimed to break free from the net. How could he bear being captured by Lin Xuan alive?
duì fāng zhè yī jī ， kě yǐ shuō shì sī háo bǎo liú yě wú ， jiù shì xiǎng yào pò wǎng ér chū 。
对方这一击，可以说是丝毫保留也无，就是想要破网而出。
The green light transformed into a foot-long beam of light, heavy and dense. The sound of teeth grinding echoed as it cut through the tightly woven fishing net.
tā zěn me gān xīn bèi lín xuān gěi shēng qín zhù 。
他怎么甘心被林轩给生擒住。
The yuanxian was elated but didn't hesitate. It turned swiftly, becoming a ball of black energy, ready to escape through the hole.
nà xiān jiàn huà zuò chǐ xǔ lái zhǎng de qīng guāng ， níng zhòng yì cháng ， suǒ guò zhī chù ， lìng rù yá suān de zhuàng jī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà mì bù tōng fēng de yú wǎng jìng zhēn de bèi zhǎn pò 。
那仙剑化作尺许来长的青光，凝重异常，所过之处，令入牙酸的撞击声传入耳朵，那密不通风的渔网竞真的被斩破。
But that wasn't so easy. Lin Xuan wouldn’t let this cooked duck fly away from his sight.
yuán yīng dà xǐ ， zì rán bú huì yǒu fēn háo de yóu yù ， shēn xíng dī liū liū yī zhuǎn ， huà zuò yī tuán hēi qì ， jiù yào cóng pò dòng chù yī dùn ér qù 。
元婴大喜，自然不会有分毫的犹豫，身形滴溜溜一转，化作一团黑气，就要从破洞处一遁而去。
No additional movements were seen as silver light suddenly brightened in mid-air. Fine silver threads rolled out one after another, quickly sealing the hole.
rán ér nǎ yǒu nà me róng yì 。
然而哪有那么容易。
The yuanxian was both angry and frustrated. It hadn't given up on its last chance for escape, spewing more of its innate primordial fire. The sword's brilliance increased, but it was too late.
zhǔ shú de yā zi ， lín xuān qǐ yǒu ràng tā cóng zì jǐ yǎn qián fēi zǒu de dào lǐ 。
煮熟的鸭子，林轩岂有让它从自己眼前飞走的道理。
After slicing through over a dozen sword threads and advancing several feet, it finally collapsed with a tearing sound, reverting to the round gem. Its surface was cracked, and its light dimmed to an almost invisible state.
yě bú jiàn tā duō yú de dòng zuò ， bàn kōng zhōng de yín máng què zhòu rán yào yǎn qǐ lái le ， yī dào jiē yī dào de yín sè xì sī gǔn gǔn fú xiàn ér chū ， zhuǎn shùn jiān jiù jiāng nà pò dòng de quē kǒu dǔ zhù 。
也不见他多余的动作，半空中的银芒却骤然耀眼起来了，一道接一道的银sè细丝滚滚浮现而出，转瞬间就将那破洞的缺口堵住。
"Phew..."
yuán yīng yòu qì yòu nù ， hǎo bù róng yì děng lái de táo shēng jī huì tā zì rán méi yǒu qīng yì fàng qì yī shuō ， yī lián yòu pēn chū shù kǒu běn mìng yuán huǒ ， xiān jiàn de guāng máng yòu yào yǎn le xǔ duō ， kě xī yǐ shì huí yāo fá shù 。
元婴又气又怒，好不容易等来的逃生机会他自然没有轻易放弃一说，一连又喷出数口本命元火，仙剑的光芒又耀眼了许多，可惜已是回夭乏术。
As the gem shattered, so did the yuanxian's mouth open wide, spewing blood. This might not be his innate treasure, but there was still some mental connection.
zài yī lián yòu zhǎn duàn shí yú gēn jiàn sī ， xiàng qián jī shè le shù chǐ zhī hòu ， zhōng yú cī lā yī shēng bēng kuì diào le ， huán yuán chéng lóng yǎn dà xiǎo de yuán zhū ， bù guò biǎo miàn què liè wén biàn bù ， guāng máng bù yòng tí ， yě àn dàn dào le wú yǐ fù jiā de jìng dì 。
在一连又斩断十余根剑丝，向前激shè了数尺之后，终于刺啦一声崩溃掉了，还原成龙眼大小的圆珠，不过表面却裂纹遍布，光芒不用提，也黯淡到了无以复加的境地。
Lin Xuan wouldn't let this opportunity slip away. The fishing net shrank and tightly bound him.
“ pū ……”
“噗……”
Despite his efforts, he couldn't escape Lin Xuan’s hands.
zài yuán zhū bēng kuì de tóng shí ， nà yuán yīng yě yī kǒu xiān xuè pēn chū ， zhè dōng xī huò xǔ bìng bú shì tā de běn mìng bǎo wù ， dàn xiǎn rán yě yǒu yí dìng de xīn shén qiān chě 。
在圆珠崩溃的同时，那元婴也一口鲜血喷出，这东西或许并不是他的本命宝物，但显然也有一定的心神牵扯。
"Friend, spare my life! It's all my fault; please have mercy on me. If you spare my life, I will offer all the treasures I've collected in my lifetime to you. You wanted to know about that bracelet? I won’t hold back—everything I know, I’ll tell you without reservation. You can ask me anything about your doubts. And I'll share my million-year cultivation insights with you. Although you are powerful, you just advanced recently; my experience will be of great help..."
ér zhè yàng hǎo de jī huì lín xuān zì rán bú huì fàng guò ， yú wǎng “ sōu ” de yī xià suō xiǎo le ， jiāng tā láo láo shù fù 。
而这样好的机会林轩自然不会放过，渔网“嗖”的一下缩小了，将他牢牢束缚。
Lin Xuan's face remained calm.
duì fāng shǐ jǐn hún shēn xiè shù ， zuì zhōng hái shì méi néng cóng lín xuān de shǒu lǐ táo tuō 。
对方使尽浑身解数，最终还是没能从林轩的手里逃脱。
"Too late to regret!"
“ dào yǒu ráo mìng ， yī qiè dōu shì xiǎo lǎo ér de cuò ， hái qǐng dào yǒu shǒu xià liú qíng ， zhǐ yào dào yǒu yuàn yì ráo zài xià yī mìng ， wǒ yuàn yì jiāng bì shēng sōu luó de bǎo wù ， xiàn yǔ dào yǒu ， gé xià bú shì xiǎng yào zhī dào nà shǒu zhuó de mì mì me ， xiǎo lǎo ér yě bú huì yǒu rèn hé bǎo liú ， yí dìng zhī wú bù yán ， yán wú bù jìn ， dào yǒu xīn zhōng de yí huò ， jǐn kě wèn jì yú wǒ ， hái yǒu lǎo fū zhè bǎi wàn nián lái de xiū liàn xīn dé ， dào yǒu suī shí lì chū zhòng ， dàn bì jìng gāng jìn jí bù jiǔ ， lǎo fū de yī xiē jīng yàn ， yě yí dìng duì dào yǒu dà yǒu bāng zhù ……”
“道友饶命，一切都是小老儿的错，还请道友手下留情，只要道友愿意饶在下一命，我愿意将毕生搜罗的宝物，献与道友，阁下不是想要知道那手镯的秘密么，小老儿也不会有任何保留，一定知无不言，言无不尽，道友心中的疑惑，尽可问计于我，还有老夫这百万年来的修炼心得，道友虽实力出众，但毕竞刚晋级不久，老夫的一些经验，也一定对道友大有帮助……”
A hint of mockery flashed at the corner of his mouth.
duì fāng tāo tāo bù jué de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， rán ér lín xuān de liǎn shàng ， yī 1rì shì yī piàn píng jìng zhī sè。
对方滔滔不绝的声音传入耳朵，然而林轩的脸上，依1rì是一片平静之sè。
No matter how eloquent he was, Lin Xuan wouldn't be deceived by his words. Having broken their facade, there was no intention of sparing him.
“ zǎo zhī rú cǐ ， hé bì dāng chū ！”
“早知如此，何必当初！”
He waved his sleeve and the silver fishing net returned.
tā de zuǐ jiǎo biān ， shèn zhì yǒu jī fěng de wèi dào shǎn guò 。
他的嘴角边，甚至有讥讽的味道闪过。
Lin Xuan didn’t waste a word; he cast several techniques from his fingertips, all disappearing into the other's body.
duì fāng zài shuō dé yāo huā luàn zhuì yòu rú hé ， lín xuān cái bú huì bèi tā de qiǎo yán lìng sè suǒ mí huò 。
对方再说得夭花乱坠又如何，林轩才不会被他的巧言令sè所迷惑。
Then, with a raised hand, silver light shone as the seamless net vanished. In its place were numerous Nine Palaces Musty Swords.
jì rán yǐ jīng sī pò liǎn pí ， lín xuān jiù méi yǒu xiǎng guò hái yào shǒu xià liú qíng de 。
既然已经撕破脸皮，林轩就没有想过还要手下留情的。
But the yuanxian remained immobile. The techniques had already sealed his essence energy. Fear was etched on his face as he tried to beg for mercy, but Lin Xuan no longer cared.
xiù páo yī fú ， nà yín sè de yú wǎng yǐ fēi huí lái le 。
袖袍一拂，那银sè的渔网已飞回来了。
He waved his sleeve again and a patch of green clouds emerged from his sleeves, enveloping him!
suí hòu lín xuān èr huà bù shuō ， shuāng shǒu lián lián huī wǔ ， yī lián shù dào fǎ jué yóu zhǐ jiān jī shè， quán bù mò rù duì fāng de shēn tǐ bú jiàn le 。
随后林轩二话不说，双手连连挥舞，一连数道法诀由指尖激shè，全部没入对方的身体不见了。
Lin Xuan resolutely employed the soul-searching technique.
suí hòu lín xuān shǒu yī tái ， yín guāng yào yǎn ， nà yāo yī wú fèng de dà wǎng yǐ xiāo shī bú jiàn ， qǔ ér dài zhī de shì yī bǐng bǐng jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn 。
随后林轩手一抬，银光耀眼，那夭衣无缝的大网已消失不见，取而代之的是一柄柄九宫须臾剑。
This process was complex; after all, this opponent was a cultivator who had passed through tribulation. Fortunately, Lin Xuan's divine sense far surpassed that of his peers, but it still took some effort.
rán ér yuán yīng yī 1rì dòng tán bù dé ， gāng cái de fǎ jué ， yǐ jiāng tā hún shēn de fǎ lì jìn gù ， liǎn shàng mǎn shì kǒng jù zhī sè， zhāng zuǐ hái xiǎng yào qiú ráo shén me ， rán ér lín xuān yǐ méi yǒu xìng qù tīng tā luō suo 。
然而元婴依1rì动弹不得，刚才的法诀，已将他浑身的法力禁锢，脸上满是恐惧之sè，张嘴还想要求饶什么，然而林轩已没有兴趣听他啰嗦。
After a meal’s time, Lin Xuan's fire light illuminated as he turned the yuanxian into nothingness. There would be no more Qingyan Zunzheng in this world.
xiù páo yī fú ， yī piàn qīng xiá yóu yī xiù zhōng fú xiàn ér chū 。
袖袍一拂，一片青霞由衣袖中浮现而出。
"Turns out it was Ice Soul Saint."
jiāng tā hún shēn zhào zhù ！
将他浑身罩住！
Lin Xuan furrowed his brows, showing surprise on his face.
lín xuān yǐ háo bù yóu yù de shī zhǎn sōu hún zhī shù 。
林轩已毫不犹豫的施展搜魂之术。
Although he had guessed that the bracelet was a precious treasure, involving Ice Soul was still unexpected. The plot to travel through Lingbo Valley back then was orchestrated by Ice Soul; how could this be? He had gone through so much effort just to bring an avatar here. Was it all because of the bracelet? What secrets lay hidden between them?
zhè ge guò chéng bǐ jiào fán fù ， bì jìng duì fāng yě shì dù jié jí bié de xiū xiān zhě ， hái hǎo lín xuān de shén shí yuǎn shèng tóng jiē xǔ duō ， dàn zhōng jiān yě fèi le xiē xǔ bō zhé 。
这个过程比较繁复，毕竞对方也是渡劫级别的修仙者，还好林轩的神识远胜同阶许多，但中间也费了些许波折。
Unfortunately, Qingyan Zunzheng, although involved in the matter years ago, was merely a pawn used by Ice Soul. Apart from some promises, he knew nothing. The tragedy was that without finding the bracelet, Ice Soul had broken her word.
zú zú guò le yī dùn fàn de gōng fu ， lín xuān shǒu zhōng huǒ guāng yì qǐ ， jiāng nà yuán yīng huà wèi le xū wú ， shì jiān zài wú qīng yán zūn zhě cǐ rù le 。
足足过了一顿饭的功夫，林轩手中火光一起，将那元婴化为了虚无，世间再无青颜尊者此入了。
Qingyan Zunzheng was extremely resentful but the cultivation world valued strength above all else. He miscalculated Ice Soul's avatar’s power and tried to seek justice, only to end up severely injured.
“ jìng rán shì bīng pò shèng zǔ 。”
“竞然是冰魄圣祖。”
"Of course I thought this guy was overrated; he’s still recovering from his injuries."
lín xuān de shuāng méi jǐn suǒ ， liǎn shàng mǎn shì yì wài zhī sè。
林轩的双眉紧锁，脸上满是意外之sè。
Lin Xuan muttered, but the worry in his brows didn't diminish.
suī rán tā yě cāi dào nà shǒu zhuó nǎi shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě de bǎo wù ， rán ér qí zhōng jū rán qiān chě dào bīng pò ， zhè wèi mó jiè dǐng jí de dà néng rù wù ， duō shǎo hái shì yǒu xiē yì wài le 。
虽然他也猜到那手镯乃是非同小可的宝物，然而其中居然牵扯到冰魄，这位魔界顶级的大能入物，多少还是有些意外了。
Through soul-searching, Lin Xuan found no answers. Instead, new worries multiplied, but not entirely without gain. At least he had discovered a way to leave this lost plane.
yuán lái dāng nián líng bō gǔ zhī lǚ ， jìng shì bīng pò móu huà dì ， duì fāng fèi jǐn xīn kǔ ， cái jiāng yī jù huà shēn jiàng lín dào cǐ chù ， nán dào jiù shì yīn wèi nà shǒu zhuó ， zhè zhōng jiān ， jiū jìng yǐn cáng zhe zěn yàng de mì mì ne ？
原来当年灵波谷之旅，竞是冰魄谋划地，对方费尽辛苦，才将一具化身降临到此处，难道就是因为那手镯，这中间，究竞隐藏着怎样的秘密呢？
Ice Soul knew that; otherwise, she wouldn’t have sent an avatar here. If she succeeded in obtaining the bracelet and couldn't leave, it would be too absurd.
kě xī qīng yán zūn zhě dāng nián suī rán yě cān yù le cǐ shì ， què jǐn jǐn shì shòu rù lì yòng de yī méi qí zi ， bīng pò chú le gěi tā xǔ xià yī xiē chéng nuò ， zhè jiā huo gēn běn jiù shén me yě bù xiǎo de ， gèng bēi jù de shì yīn wèi zuì hòu méi yǒu xún dào shǒu zhuó ， suǒ yǐ bīng pò hái shí yán ér féi le 。
可惜青颜尊者当年虽然也参与了此事，却仅仅是受入利用的一枚棋子，冰魄除了给他许下一些承诺，这家伙根本就什么也不晓得，更悲剧的是因为最后没有寻到手镯，所以冰魄还食言而肥了。
Thus, Lin Xuan believed Ice Soul hadn't lied about her ability to leave if he wished. This information was crucial for him.
qīng yán zūn zhě zì rán shì bù fèn yǐ jí ， rán ér xiū xiān jiè shì qiáng zhě wèi zūn dì ， tā cuò wù de gū jì le bīng pò huà shēn de shí lì ， chū shǒu xiǎng yào tǎo huí gōng dào ， jié guǒ què là le yí gè zhòng shāng de jié jú 。
青颜尊者自然是不忿以极，然而修仙界是强者为尊地，他错误的估计了冰魄化身的实力，出手想要讨回公道，结果却落了一个重伤的结局。
But how to obtain this information wasn't easy. He and Ice Soul were enemies, not friends; going to ask wouldn’t work.
“ nán guài zì jǐ jué de zhè jiā huo yǒu xiē míng bù fù shí ， yuán lái shì zhòng shāng wèi yù 。”
“难怪自己觉得这家伙有些名不副实，原来是重伤未愈。”
He had no choice but to act.
lín xuān nán nán zì yǔ ， méi yǔ jiān de yōu chóu què bìng wèi huà qù 。
林轩喃喃自语，眉宇间的忧愁却并未化去。
However, Lin Xuan wasn't entirely confident. Although he had advanced to the tribulation period, Ice Soul’s avatar far surpassed his peers in power.
tōng guò sōu hún zhī shù ， bìng méi yǒu néng gòu jiě huò ， fǎn dào shì xīn de fán nǎo ， yòu zēng jiā le xǔ duō ， dàn yě bù néng shuō shì yī wú suǒ huò 。
通过搜魂之术，并没有能够解惑，反倒是新的烦恼，又增加了许多，但也不能说是一无所获。
The outcome of their confrontation was uncertain.
"Bad!"
Qingyan Zunzheng was shocked, but he had no time to dodge. Lin Xuan's combat experience was incredibly rich; this attack came at the moment when his current strength was waning and new power hadn't yet replenished.
The timing was perfect. The yuanxian on his face was filled with malice, but it could only watch helplessly as he was ensnared by a fishing net.
However, he wouldn't surrender easily. In his arms, he clutched a round gem the size of a dragon's eye, its surface radiating silver patterns. No one knew what kind of precious treasure this might be.
"Exhale!"
A soft exclamation entered Lin Xuan's ears as Qingyan Zunzheng's yuanxian opened its mouth and emitted a burst of green light, expelling his innate primordial fire.
This fire had the same effect as innate primordial energy—it diminished with use. Its weakness was obvious, but its power was formidable nonetheless.
The moment this fire touched the round gem, it was immediately drawn in like a stone thrown into deep water.
Then, the gem flickered between bright and dim light, transforming into a sword about a foot long.
"Break!"
A technique was cast by the yuanxian, and all of its essence energy poured into the sword without reservation. The sky seemed to distort as Lin Xuan sensed an aura of法则 power emanating from this treasure.
The sword shone brightly, slicing forward with ferocity.
This attack left no room for sparing; it aimed to break free from the net. How could he bear being captured by Lin Xuan alive?
The green light transformed into a foot-long beam of light, heavy and dense. The sound of teeth grinding echoed as it cut through the tightly woven fishing net.
The yuanxian was elated but didn't hesitate. It turned swiftly, becoming a ball of black energy, ready to escape through the hole.
But that wasn't so easy. Lin Xuan wouldn’t let this cooked duck fly away from his sight.
No additional movements were seen as silver light suddenly brightened in mid-air. Fine silver threads rolled out one after another, quickly sealing the hole.
The yuanxian was both angry and frustrated. It hadn't given up on its last chance for escape, spewing more of its innate primordial fire. The sword's brilliance increased, but it was too late.
After slicing through over a dozen sword threads and advancing several feet, it finally collapsed with a tearing sound, reverting to the round gem. Its surface was cracked, and its light dimmed to an almost invisible state.
"Phew..."
As the gem shattered, so did the yuanxian's mouth open wide, spewing blood. This might not be his innate treasure, but there was still some mental connection.
Lin Xuan wouldn't let this opportunity slip away. The fishing net shrank and tightly bound him.
Despite his efforts, he couldn't escape Lin Xuan’s hands.
