“ nǐ men tuì xià ba ！”
“你们退下吧！”
"Step down!"
shí xiān zi xiàng lín xuān xíng le yī lǐ ， dài zhe mén rén dì zǐ ， gōng gōng jìng jìng de tuì le xià qù ， lín xuān zé zhuǎn shēn huí dào dòng fǔ ， tà pò tiě xié wú mì chù ， dé lái quán bù fèi gōng fu ， zhè yī cì ， zì jǐ de yùn qì hái dàng zhēn bù sú 。
石仙子像林轩行了一礼，带着门人弟子，恭恭敬敬的退了下去，林轩则转身回到洞府，踏破铁鞋无觅处，得来全不费工夫，这一次，自己的运气还当真不俗。
The Fairy Stone bowed to Lin Xuan and led her disciples away respectfully. Lin Xuan turned around and returned to his cave abode, feeling that he had found what he was looking for without much effort this time. His luck truly seemed to be on a roll.
tōng guò sōu hún zhī shù ， rú hé lí kāi shī luò jiè miàn de fāng fǎ ， lín xuān yǐ jīng xiǎo de 。
通过搜魂之术，如何离开失落界面的方法，林轩已经晓得。
Through the soul probing technique, Lin Xuan already knew how to leave the lost realm.
jiǎn dān de shuō ， yǒu sān dà tiáo jiàn xū yào mǎn zú 。
简单的说，有三大条件需要满足。
Simply put, three conditions needed to be met:
yī shì jìng jiè bì xū dá dào dù jié qī ， zhè yàng cái yǒu tú shǒu sī liè xū kōng de néng lì 。
一是境界必须达到渡劫期，这样才有徒手撕裂虚空的能力。
Firstly, his cultivation level must reach the Transcendation Stage, giving him the ability to tear through the void with bare hands.
dì èr zé shì yào shēn huái zhì bǎo ， pò jiè zhū ， dà bù fèn xiū xiān zhě ， zhè bèi zi ， bié shuō jiàn ， kǒng pà tīng dōu bù céng tīng shuō 。
第二则是要身怀至宝，破界珠，大部分修仙者，这辈子，别说见，恐怕听都不曾听说。
Secondly, he had to possess a supreme treasure, the Boundary-Breaking Pearl. Most cultivators in their lifetimes would never even hear of such an item.
dì sān zé yào bù xià yí gè míng wèi “ xiǎo xū yú qián kūn zhèn ” de zhèn fǎ ， yǔ pò jiè zhū xiāng pèi hé ， zài yóu dù jié qī xiū xiān zhě jiāng xū kōng sī pò ， zhè yàng jiù néng lí kāi shī luò de jiè miàn le 。
第三则要布下一个名为“小须臾乾坤阵”的阵法，与破界珠相配合，再由渡劫期修仙者将虚空撕破，这样就能离开失落的界面了。
Thirdly, he needed to set up an array called "Little Moment Heaven and Earth Array," which should be used in conjunction with the Boundary-Breaking Pearl. A Transcendation Stage cultivator could then tear through the void, allowing him to leave the lost realm.
qián liǎng gè tiáo jiàn ， lín xuān yǐ jīng mǎn zú ， zhì yú dì sān gè ， tā yuán běn bìng méi yǒu tài zài yì de 。
前两个条件，林轩已经满足，至于第三个，他原本并没有太在意的。
Lin Xuan had already satisfied the first two conditions. As for the third one, he hadn't paid too much attention to it originally.
xiǎo xū yú qián kūn zhèn ， suī rán fán fù ， dàn gāi rú hé bù zhì ， bīng pò de jì yì lǐ shí fēn qīng chǔ ， nǎ pà shì zhào māo huà hǔ ， zì jǐ yě néng gòu jiāng tā bù chū 。
小须臾乾坤阵，虽然繁复，但该如何布置，冰魄的记忆里十分清楚，哪怕是照猫画虎，自己也能够将它布出。
Though the Little Moment Heaven and Earth Array was complex, its layout was clearly stored in the ice spirit's memory. Even if he just mimicked it, Lin Xuan could set up the array himself.
qǐ chū ， lín xuān què rán shì zhè me xiǎng de 。
起初，林轩确然是这么想的。
Initially, that was how Lin Xuan thought.
rán ér shì hòu shāo yī cān wù ， tā cái zhī dào zì jǐ cuò dé lí pǔ 。
然而事后稍一参悟，他才知道自己错得离谱。
However, after a moment of reflection, he realized his mistake. The complexity of this array far exceeded what he had anticipated. While Lin Xuan considered himself to have a better understanding of array techniques than most cultivators, at this moment, he found himself completely lost and unable to comprehend it!
cǐ zhèn fǎ de xuán miào chéng dù ， yuǎn chāo zì jǐ yù jì xǔ duō ， lín xuān zì wèn ， duì yú zhèn fǎ zhī dào de lǐ jiě ， yào qiáng yú yì bān xiū xiān zhě ， rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， què shì yí gè tóu ， liǎng gè dà le ， gēn běn jiù kàn bù dǒng ！
此阵法的玄妙程度，远超自己预计许多，林轩自问，对于阵法之道的理解，要强于一般修仙者，然而此时此刻，却是一个头，两个大了，根本就看不懂！
Lin Xuan surmised that comprehending the entire array would require the skills of an array master.
jù lín xuān chuǎi mó ， xiǎng yào jiāng cǐ zhèn fǎ wán quán nòng qīng chǔ ， kǒng pà yào yǒu zhèn fǎ zōng shī de běn lǐng cái kě yǐ de 。
据林轩揣摩，想要将此阵法完全弄清楚，恐怕要有阵法宗师的本领才可以的。
This discovery made him scratch his head in frustration. Wasn't setting up a useful array enough reason for him to relearn all the cultivation arts related to arrays?
zhè ge fā xiàn ， ràng lín xuān náo tóu yǐ jí ， jǐn jǐn shì wèi le bù zhì yī yǒu yòng de zhèn fǎ ér yǐ nán dào zì jǐ hái yào jiāng xiū xiān bǎi yì zhōng de zhèn fǎ zhī dào ， chóng xīn xiū xí ？
这个发现，让林轩挠头以极，仅仅是为了布置一有用的阵法而已难道自己还要将修仙百艺中的阵法之道，重新修习？
Such idle time was not something Lin Xuan could afford. He certainly wouldn't be so foolish as to think he needed to do that.
zhè yàng de xián qíng yì zhì ， lín xuān zì rán shì méi yǒu dì 。
这样的闲情逸致，林轩自然是没有地。
After all, the vastness of array techniques required countless years of study and practice to reach mastery.
tā yě bù kě néng bèn dào rú cǐ chéng dù 。
他也不可能笨到如此程度。
Although Lin Xuan had advanced to the Transcendation Stage, his lifespan was indeed long. But he couldn't waste time on trivial matters like this.
yào zhī dào zhèn fǎ zhī dào bó dà jīng shēn ， zhēn xiǎng yào dá dào zōng shī de zào yì ， tiān zhī dào xū yào jǐ qiān shàng wàn nián de cān wù xiū xí ？
要知道阵法之道博大精深，真想要达到宗师的造诣，天知道需要几千上万年的参悟修习？
Since he couldn't decipher the Little Moment Heaven and Earth Array himself, seeking help from someone else became the wisest choice.
suī rán jìn jiē dào dù jié qī ， lín xuān de shòu yuán màn cháng yǐ jí dàn yě bù kě néng wèi le yì diǎn xiǎo shì ， jiù bái bái làng fèi zài zhè lǐ 。
虽然进阶到渡劫期，林轩的寿元漫长以极但也不可能为了一点小事，就白白浪费在这里。
Lin Xuan already had such a plan. His intention was to finish refining the chaotic Yin essence after which he would seek out an array master.
zì jǐ bù néng jiāng xiǎo xū yú qián kūn zhèn cān wù ， nà zhǎo rén bāng máng jiù chéng le zuì wèi míng zhì de xuǎn zé 。
自己不能将小须臾乾坤阵参悟，那找人帮忙就成了最为明智的选择。
But it turned out that no effort on his part was needed; the array master came knocking at his door first.
yuán běn lín xuān yǐ jīng yǒu zhè yàng de dǎ suàn le ， tā de jì qiú ， shì jiāng hùn dùn tài yīn zhī qì liàn huà wán bì zhī hòu ， jiù qù xún mì yī zhèn fǎ zōng shī lái de 。
原本林轩已经有这样的打算了，他的计求，是将混沌太阴之气炼化完毕之后，就去寻觅一阵法宗师来的。
Lin Xuan was overjoyed. Such good fortune couldn't be missed, so the task of setting up the Little Moment Heaven and Earth Array naturally fell to the well-dressed man and the woman named Stone.
nǎ zhī dào gēn běn bù yòng zì jǐ qù zuò duì fāng xiān zhǔ dòng sòng shàng mén lái le 。
哪知道根本不用自己去做对方先主动送上门来了。
It would also serve as a form of punishment for these two, who had indeed offended him before. A minor reprimand was only fitting.
lín xuān zì rán shì dà wèi huān xǐ ， zhè yàng de hǎo shì qǐ huì cuò guò yú shì bù zhì xiǎo xū yú qián kūn zhèn de rèn wù zì rán jiāo yǔ jǐn yī dà hàn yǔ shí xìng nǚ zǐ wán chéng le 。
林轩自然是大为欢喜，这样的好事岂会错过于是布置小须臾乾坤阵的任务自然交予锦衣大汉与石姓女子完成了。
After several months, a startling light left the valley as Lin Xuan went on an extended journey. The layout of the Little Moment Heaven and Earth Array was taking shape. The well-dressed man's array techniques were even stronger than what Lin Xuan had anticipated. With him handling the arrays, Lin Xuan needn't worry.
yě suàn shì ràng tā men jiāng gōng bǔ guò ， bì jìng zhè liǎng gè jiā huo què rán mào fàn guò zì jǐ ， duì tā men xiǎo xiǎo chéng jiè yī fān yě shì hé qíng hé lǐ de 。
也算是让他们将功补过，毕竟这两个家伙确然冒犯过自己，对他们小小惩戒一番也是合情合理的。
Before leaving the lost realm, there was one more thing for Lin Xuan to do: the treasure map he had obtained by chance last time.
shù yuè zhī hòu ， yī dào jīng hóng lí kāi le shān gǔ ， lín xuān wài chū yuǎn yóu ， xiǎo xū yú qián kūn zhèn de bù zhì yǐ jīng yǒu le méi mù ， nà jǐn yī dà hàn de zhèn fǎ zào yì shèn zhì bǐ zì jǐ yuán xiān yù jì de ， hái yào gèng qiáng yī xiē ， rú jīn yóu tā fù zé zhèn fǎ ， lín xuān zì rán bù bì dān xīn hài pà 。
数月之后，一道惊虹离开了山谷，林轩外出远游，小须臾乾坤阵的布置已经有了眉目，那锦衣大汉的阵法造诣甚至比自己原先预计的，还要更强一些，如今由他负责阵法，林轩自然不必担心害怕。
Though Lin Xuan wasn't sure what valuable treasures might be found in ancient cultivators' ruins, their spirit root attributes were similar enough to those of the Shangguan sisters. This alone was enough to make him take a risk.
ér zài lí kāi shī luò de jiè miàn zhī qián ， lín xuān hái yǒu shì yào zuò 。
而在离开失落的界面之前，林轩还有事要做。
Finding ancient cultivator ruins was no big deal for a cultivator; even high-level cultivators had some experience with it. Lin Xuan's experience was so rich that he could easily rank among the top in the Three Realms, spanning all of history and mythology.
jiù shì shàng cì wú yì jiān dé dào de nà zhāng cáng bǎo tú 。
就是上次无意间得到的那张藏宝图。
Lin Xuan had already studied the treasure map meticulously. From any angle, it didn't seem fake. The only issue was that the location marked on the map was far too distant.
suī rán lín xuān yě bìng bù qīng chǔ gǔ xiū shì de yí jì zhōng jiū jìng néng fā xiàn shén me yǒu jià zhí de bǎo wù ， rán ér duì fāng de líng gēn shǔ xìng yǔ shàng guān jiě mèi xiāng chà fǎng mǎo fú ， zhè jiù zú gòu lín xuān qù mào yī mào xiǎn le 。
虽然林轩也并不清楚古修士的遗迹中究竟能发现什么有价值的宝物，然而对方的灵根属性与上官姐妹相差仿冇佛，这就足够林轩去冒一冒险了。
Even with his teleportation techniques, it would take Lin Xuan about half a year to reach there.
yào shuō xún mì shàng gǔ xiū shì de yí jì ， zhè zhǒng shì qíng duì yú xiū xiān zhě lái shuō ， kě yì diǎn dōu suàn bù shàng xī qí ， gāo jiē yì diǎn de xiū xiān zhě ， rén rén duō duō shǎo shǎo dōu yǒu yì diǎn jīng lì ， lín xuān gèng bù yòng tí ， qí jīng yàn zhī fēng fù ， fàng yǎn sān jiè ， zòng héng jīn gǔ ， nà tiě dìng yě shì néng gòu pái jìn qián liè de 。
要说寻觅上古修士的遗迹，这种事情对于修仙者来说，可一点都算不上稀奇，高阶一点的修仙者，人人多多少少都有一点经历，林轩更不用提，其经验之丰富，放眼三界，纵横今古，那铁定也是能够排进前列的。
But this wasn't an issue. While he might not want to waste time here, half a year for him at his current cultivation stage was insignificant.
cáng bǎo tú lín xuān yǐ jīng zǐ xì yán jiū guò ， bù lùn cóng nǎ ge jiǎo dù ， dōu bù xiàng shì jiǎ de ， wéi yī má fán de shì ， cǐ cáng bǎo tú suǒ biāo zhù de dì diǎn ， jù lí zhè lǐ shí zài tài yuǎn le 。
藏宝图林轩已经仔细研究过，不论从哪个角度，都不像是假的，唯一麻烦的是，此藏宝图所标注的地点，距离这里实在太远了。
Moreover, setting up the Little Moment Heaven and Earth Array wouldn't be completed in a day or two.
jí biàn yǐ lín xuān de dùn shù ， gǎn dào nà lǐ ， kǒng pà yě xū yào bàn nián zuǒ yòu de gōng fu 。
即便以林轩的遁术，赶到那里，恐怕也需要半年左右的功夫。
So Lin Xuan took his time and flew towards the location indicated by the teleportation array.
bù guò zhè yě méi yǒu guān xì ， duō yú de shí jiān lín xuān huò xǔ bù xiǎng làng fèi zài zhè lǐ ， dàn qū qū bàn nián ， duì yú tā zhè ge jìng jiè de xiū xiān zhě ， shí zài bù zhí yī tí 。
不过这也没有关系，多余的时间林轩或许不想浪费在这里，但区区半年，对于他这个境界的修仙者，实在不值一提。
The cultivation world was full of dangers. Traveling alone could be perilous; encountering unscrupulous individuals could lead to dire consequences.
hé kuàng xiǎo xū yú qián kūn zhèn yě bú shì yī shí piàn kè kě yǐ bù zhì wán bì 。
何况小须臾乾坤阵也不是一时片刻可以布置完毕。
But with Lin Xuan's strength, he had nothing to fear. If any foolish bandits dared to attack him, they would only lament their terrible luck.
suǒ yǐ lín xuān bìng bù zháo jí ， yōu zāi yóu zāi de xiàng chuán sòng zhèn biāo shì de dì diǎn fēi qù 。
所以林轩并不着急，悠哉游哉的像传送阵标示的地点飞去。
Nevertheless, when faced with unscrupulous individuals, Lin Xuan showed no mercy.
xiū xiān jiè duō xīng fēng xuè yǔ ， yí gè rén gǎn lù yuán běn shì hěn wēi xiǎn dì ， yù jiàn xīn huái bù guǐ zhī tú ， yí bù xiǎo xīn jiù wàn jié bù fù 。
修仙界多腥风血雨，一个人赶路原本是很危险地，遇见心怀不轨之徒，一不小心就万劫不复。
For Lin Xuan, the solitude of the journey was broken by these encounters, making them a welcome diversion.
rán ér lín xuān de shí lì ， zì rán bù yòng dān xīn le ， ruò yǒu bù zhǎng yǎn jīng de dǎ jié zhě ， zhǐ néng gǎn tàn zì jǐ yùn qì dǎo méi dào wú yǐ fù jiā de dì bù 。
然而林轩的实力，自然不用担心了，若有不长眼睛的打劫者，只能感叹自己运气倒霉到无以复加的地步。
Thus, Lin Xuan encountered few significant obstacles. After about a year of travel, he finally approached his destination.
rén bù fàn wǒ ， wǒ bù fàn rén ， dàn yù jiàn xīn huái bù guǐ zhī tú ， lín xuān yě cóng bù zhī shǒu xià liú qíng wèi hé wù 。
人不犯我，我不犯人，但遇见心怀不轨之徒，林轩也从不知手下留情为何物。
The reason for this long journey was that Lin Xuan didn't rush; he visited cities where cultivators gathered and even strolled around in the markets.
duì lín xuān lái shuō ， lù tú jì mò ， tā men de chū xiàn ， fǎn ér suàn shì yī bù cuò de yú xìng jié mù 。
对林轩来说，路途寂寞，他们的出现，反而算是一不错的余兴节目。
Unfortunately, despite his formidable strength and keen eyesight, ordinary treasures couldn't catch his interest.
jiù zhè yàng ， lín xuān yī lù dōu méi yǒu yù jiàn tài dà de bō zhé ， jīng guò dà yuē yī nián shí jiān de gǎn lù ， tā zhōng yú jiē jìn mù dì dì le 。
就这样，林轩一路都没有遇见太大的波折，经过大约一年时间的赶路，他终于接近目的地了。
Although he had visited several marketplaces, there were no significant finds to show for it.
zhī suǒ yǐ huā fèi zhè me jiǔ de shí jiān ， zì rán shì yóu yú lín xuān méi yǒu quán lì gǎn lù ， yù jiàn xiū xiān zhě jù jū de chéng chí ， shèn zhì hái jìn qù guàng yī fān zài shuō 。
之所以花费这么久的时间，自然是由于林轩没有全力赶路，遇见修仙者聚居的城池，甚至还进去逛一番再说。
Well, not entirely. Lin Xuan himself hadn't bought anything useful, but Lu Ying'er, his newly acquired disciple, had purchased countless elixirs and medicines.
kě xī rú jīn de lín xuān ， shí lì gù rán shì qiáng dé kě pà ， yǎn guāng tóng yàng shì gāo dé lí pǔ ， yì bān de bǎo wù ， nà néng gòu rù tā de fǎ yǎn ne ？
可惜如今的林轩，实力固然是强得可怕，眼光同样是高得离谱，一般的宝物，那能够入他的法眼呢？
After all, while Lin Xuan's wealth was considerable, as a Transcendation Stage cultivator, he didn't need many base-level cultivators' elixirs. The limited stock he possessed had already been given to Lu Ying'er, who needed them for her rapid progress in cultivation.
gù ér fāng shì suī rán guàng le qī bā zuò zhī duō ， què bìng méi yǒu shén me jīn rén mǎn yì de shōu huò 。
故而坊市虽然逛了七八座之多，却并没有什么今人满意的收获。
In the cultivation world, precious resources like medicinal herbs were rare and hard to come by, especially those that could enhance one's power or help break through a bottleneck. Even if cultivators owned such items, they wouldn't sell them unless absolutely necessary; they would use them themselves.
ń ， yě bù néng zhè me shuō ， lín xuān zì jǐ ， shì méi yǒu mǎi dào shén me hé yòng de dōng xī ， dàn wèi xīn shōu de tú dì ， lù yíng ér què mǎi le líng dān miào yào wú shù 。
嗯，也不能这么说，林轩自己，是没有买到什么合用的东西，但为新收的徒弟，陆盈儿却买了灵丹妙药无数。
However, there were exceptions. For example, base-level elixirs were considered rare in the mortal world but commonplace in the spirit realm where resources were abundant. In more advanced marketplaces, while high-stage cultivators like Shen Transformation and Transcendation Stage cultivators might struggle to find certain items, base-level elixirs for enhancing power weren't particularly impressive.
yào zhī dào ， lín xuān shēn jiā gù rán fēng fù ， rán ér zuò wéi dù jié jí bié de dà néng xiū xiān zhě ， zhù jī qī xiǎo xiū shì yào yòng de líng dān lín xuān qí shí què bù duō ， jǐn yǒu de yì diǎn cún huò ， yě dōu cì yǔ lù yíng ér le ， ér xiǎo yā tou xiū xíng xùn sù ， suǒ yǐ zì jǐ pò qiè xū yào zài gòu mǎi shàng yī pī líng dān miào yào de 。
要知道，林轩身家固然丰富，然而作为渡劫级别的大能修仙者，筑基期小修士要用的灵丹林轩其实却不多，仅有的一点存货，也都赐予陆盈儿了，而小丫头修行迅速，所以自己迫切需要再购买上一批灵丹妙药的。
The only issue was that the prices were exorbitant, deterring most base-level cultivators.
běn lái zài xiū xiān jiè ， líng yào shǔ yú zuì zhēn guì de zī yuán zhī yī ， yóu qí shì zēng jìn fǎ lì huò zhě duì tū pò píng jǐng yǒu xiào guǒ de líng wù ， gèng kān chēng kě yù ér bù kě qiú ， xiū shì jí biàn yōng yǒu ， bú dào wàn bù dé yǐ ， yě bú huì ná dào fāng shì chū shòu ， dōu shì zì jǐ shǐ yòng 。
本来在修仙界，灵药属于最珍贵的资源之一，尤其是增进法力或者对突破瓶颈有效果的灵物，更堪称可遇而不可求，修士即便拥有，不到万不得已，也不会拿到坊市出售，都是自己使用。
But this wasn't a problem for Lin Xuan. With his wealth, such expenses were merely a drop in the bucket.
bù guò fán shì zǒng yǒu lì wài 。
不过凡事总有例外。
A minor incident occurred during his journey. While buying medicinal herbs for his disciple, Lin Xuan inadvertently revealed his true cultivation level. The owner of the medicine shop was stunned but immediately became extremely enthusiastic, offering to gift all those medicines as a token of appreciation.
"Step down!"
"Yes!"
The Fairy Stone bowed to Lin Xuan and led her disciples away respectfully. Lin Xuan turned around and returned to his cave abode, feeling that he had found what he was looking for without much effort this time. His luck truly seemed to be on a roll.
Through the soul probing technique, Lin Xuan already knew how to leave the lost realm.

Firstly, his cultivation level must reach the Transcendation Stage, giving him the ability to tear through the void with bare hands.
Secondly, he had to possess a supreme treasure, the Boundary-Breaking Pearl. Most cultivators in their lifetimes would never even hear of such an item.
