lín xuān sī háo méi yǒu tuì bì de yì tú ， xiù páo yī fú ， yī tuán jī dàn dà xiǎo de huǒ yàn fēi lüè ér chū 。
林轩丝毫没有退避的意图，袖袍一拂，一团鸡蛋大小的火焰飞掠而出。
Lin Xuan showed no intention of retreating. With a wave of his sleeves, a ball of flame the size of an egg flew out.
wǔ sè liú lí ！
五色琉璃！
Five-colored Crystal!
guāng shì sàn fà chū lái de qì xī ， jiù lìng rén xīn jì 。
光是散发出来的气息，就令人心悸。
Just the aura it emitted was enough to send shivers down one's spine.
huàn líng tiān huǒ ！
幻灵天火！
Phantom Spirit Heavenly Fire!
yǐ lín xuān rú jīn de shí lì ， miàn duì qū qū sān tóu gǔ shòu ， yǒu shù bù jìn de fāng fǎ ， lái huà jiě tā men de gōng jī 。
以林轩如今的实力，面对区区三头古兽，有数不尽的方法，来化解它们的攻击。
With Lin Xuan’s current strength, facing these three ancient beasts, there were countless methods he could use to counter their attacks.
tā zuì zhōng xuǎn zé le huàn líng tiān huǒ ， bú yòng shuō ， shì xiǎng kàn kàn liàn huà hùn dùn tài yīn zhī qì yǐ hòu ， cǐ huǒ yàn de shén tōng ， jiū jìng rú hé 。
他最终选择了幻灵天火，不用说，是想看看炼化混沌太阴之气以后，此火焰的神通，究竟如何。
In the end, he chose Phantom Spirit Heavenly Fire. He didn’t need to say anything; his intention was clear—to see how this fire’s abilities had changed after refining it from chaotic Yin energy.
líng guāng shǎn guò ， xū kōng zài yī shùn jiān ， jiù bèi dòng jié zhù le ， xuán fēng yě hǎo ， léi diàn yě bà ， miàn duì jí hán fǎ zé ， qǐng kè jiān jiù bīng xiāo wǎ jiě diào le 。
灵光闪过，虚空在一瞬间，就被冻结住了，旋风也好，雷电也罢，面对极寒法则，顷刻间就冰消瓦解掉了。
A flash of spiritual light passed by, and in an instant, the void was frozen. The whirlwind or lightning that followed were instantly ice-bound as they faced the extreme cold法则.
lín xuān zhàn zài yuán dì ， fǎng fú cóng lái bù céng dòng guò ， ér tā de miàn qián ， què duō chū le sān gè bīng diāo yì bān de jiā huo 。
林轩站在原地，仿佛从来不曾动过，而他的面前，却多出了三个冰雕一般的家伙。
Lin Xuan stood still as if he hadn’t moved at all, while three figures before him had turned into ice sculptures, still maintaining their offensive stance but devoid of life.
hái bǎo chí zhe jìn gōng de dòng zuò ， rán ér shēng mìng lì ， què zǎo yǐ lí tā men ér qù le 。
还保持着进攻的动作，然而生命力，却早已离它们而去了。
Sure enough, it was the lion, bat, and python.
bú yòng shuō ， shì nà shī zi ， biān fú ， hái yǒu mǎng shé 。
不用说，是那狮子，蝙蝠，还有蟒蛇。
Instant kill!
miǎo shā ！
秒杀！
The power of Phantom Spirit Heavenly Fire after its evolution was even more terrifying than Lin Xuan had anticipated. These creatures didn’t even come close to the fire; they simply perished under the influence of that wondrous extreme cold法则.
huàn líng tiān huǒ jìn jiē hòu de shí lì ， bǐ zì jǐ yuán xiān yù xiǎng de ， hái yào gèng jiā kě pà 。
幻灵天火进阶后的实力，比自己原先预想的，还要更加可怕。
Lin Xuan took a deep breath, his expression shifting from shock to joy. Clearly, the power of Phantom Spirit Heavenly Fire after its evolution exceeded his expectations.
zhè xiē jiā huo shèn zhì méi yǒu jiē chù dào huàn líng tiān huǒ ， jǐn jǐn shì yī kào nà xuán miào de jí hán fǎ zé ， jiù ràng tā men quán bù yǔn luò 。
这些家伙甚至没有接触到幻灵天火，仅仅是依靠那玄妙的极寒法则，就让它们全部陨落。
The entire process seemed complicated but only lasted an instant. Lin Xuan retracted Phantom Spirit Heavenly Fire and the ice sculptures dissipated with the wind as if nothing had happened.
lín xuān xī le kǒu qì ， liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng què shì yóu zhèn jīng dào huān xǐ ， xiǎn rán ， huàn líng tiān huǒ jìn jiē hòu de wēi lì ， ràng tā shí fēn mǎn yì 。
林轩吸了口气，脸上的表情却是由震惊到欢喜，显然，幻灵天火进阶后的威力，让他十分满意。
He then raised his head and surveyed the surroundings. The landscape stretched out before him, with rolling hills extending far into the distance. However, the aura of the place seemed not very abundant in essence energy. This scene was different from what he had seen before entering the palace.
zhěng gè guò chéng shuō lái fán fù ， qí shí bù guò xū yú de gōng fu ， lín xuān yǐ shōu huí le huàn líng tiān huǒ ， ér nà sān gè bīng diāo yě suí fēng xiāo sàn diào le 。
整个过程说来繁复，其实不过须臾的功夫，林轩已收回了幻灵天火，而那三个冰雕也随风消散掉了。
Space treasure?
fǎng fú shén me yě bù céng fā shēng guò 。
仿佛什么也不曾发生过。
Or perhaps these ancient great sages had torn through space, carving out a cave within a spatial rift.
suí hòu lín xuān tái qǐ tóu lú ， dǎ liàng qǐ sì zhōu de jǐng sè 。
随后林轩抬起头颅，打量起四周的景色。
With his rich experience, Lin Xuan found this familiar.
fàng yǎn wàng qù ， shān luán qǐ fú ， mián yán de dà shān ， yì zhí yán shēn dào tiān biān jí yuǎn zhī chù ， líng qì què xiǎn de bìng bú shì hěn chōng zú ， zhè jǐng xiàng xiǎn rán yǔ jìn rù nà gōng diàn qián shì bù yí yàng de 。
放眼望去，山峦起伏，绵延的大山，一直延伸到天边极远之处，灵气却显得并不是很充足，这景象显然与进入那宫殿前是不一样的。
He then took a deep breath and released his immensely powerful divine sense.
kōng jiān bǎo wù ？
空间宝物？
The mysterious space wasn’t very vast. Soon enough, he made his discovery.
huò zhě shì nà jǐ wèi shàng gǔ dà néng ， sī liè xū kōng ， zài kōng jiān liè fèng zhōng ， kāi pì chū lái de dòng fǔ 。
或者是那几位上古大能，撕裂虚空，在空间裂缝中，开辟出来的洞府。
His entire body shone with green light as it flew towards the distant mountain range.
yǐ lín xuān jīng yàn zhī fēng fù ， yǎn qián de yí mù ， dǎo shì hěn shú xī 。
以林轩经验之丰富，眼前的一幕，倒是很熟悉。
His speed was unmatched here; there was no need to hide. It didn’t take long for him to reach his destination.
suí hòu tā xī le kǒu qì ， jiāng qiáng dà yǐ jí de shén shí fàng le chū qù 。
随后他吸了口气，将强大以极的神识放了出去。
That was a towering mountain, thousands of feet high, covered in lush greenery that truly seemed majestic.
zhè shén mì de kōng jiān kàn qǐ lái yě bú shì hěn guǎng bó ， hěn kuài ， lín xuān jiù yǒu le shōu huò 。
这神秘的空间看起来也不是很广博，很快，林轩就有了收获。
Since there were no restrictions on airspace, Lin Xuan continued flying without stopping until he reached the peak.
hún shēn qīng máng yì qǐ ， xiàng yuǎn chù qǐ fú de qún shān fēi le guò qù 。
浑身青芒一起，像远处起伏的群山飞了过去。
The top was relatively flat with a small lake where essence energy wafted out from its surface.
tā de dùn sù bù yòng tí ， zài zhè lǐ ， yě méi yǒu yǐn cáng de yì yì ， zì rán shì bù xiāo piàn kè ， jiù lái dào le mù dì dì 。
他的遁速不用提，在这里，也没有隐藏的意义，自然是不消片刻，就来到了目的地。
Spirit Eye Lake!
nà shì yī zuò dà shān ， gāo wàn zhàng yú ， mǎn shān cuì lǜ ， kàn shàng qù ， dào zhēn yǒu jǐ fēn dà qì páng bó de yàng zi 。
那是一座大山，高万丈余，满山翠绿，看上去，倒真有几分大气磅礴的样子。
Lin Xuan’s face showed surprise. It was well-known that Spirit Eye Springs, Spirit Eye Trees, and Spirit Eye Jewels were called the Three Treasures of Spirit Eyes in the cultivation world.
fǎn zhèng yě méi yǒu jìn kōng jìn zhì ， gù ér lín xuān sī háo méi yǒu tíng xià lái de yì tú ， yì kǒu qì fēi dào le shān fēng dǐng bù 。
反正也没有禁空禁制，故而林轩丝毫没有停下来的意图，一口气飞到了山峰顶部。
However, the true treasures of spirit eyes weren’t limited to these three; they simply stood out more due to their visibility.
shān dǐng méi yǒu nà me duō mào mì de zhí wù ， kàn shàng qù dǎo shì hěn píng tǎn de yàng zi 。
山顶没有那么多茂密的植物，看上去倒是很平坦的样子。
Other spirit eye treasures could only be heard about in ancient texts. For instance, this Spirit Eye Lake was far larger than a regular Spirit Eye Spring, as its surface had transformed essence energy into liquid form, making it incredibly rich. Absorbing the abundant essence power here would greatly benefit even渡劫期 cultivators.
shān shàng yǒu yī tán xiǎo hú ， sī sī líng qì yóu hú miàn mí sàn ér chū 。
山上有一潭小湖，丝丝灵气由湖面弥散而出。
Lin Xuan felt joy.
líng yǎn zhī hú ！
灵眼之湖！
He hadn’t found the ancient great sages’ caves yet, but this Spirit Eye Lake was already a valuable treasure.
lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū jīng yà zhī sè 。
林轩脸上露出惊讶之色。
However, Lin Xuan wasn’t an ordinary cultivator; his joy was fleeting. He then focused his mind and began searching for the real targets.
zhòng suǒ zhōu zhī ， líng yǎn zhī quán ， líng yǎn zhī shù ， líng yǎn zhī yù ， zài xiū xiān jiè bèi chéng wéi líng yǎn sān bǎo 。
众所周知，灵眼之泉，灵眼之树，灵眼之玉，在修仙界被成为灵眼三宝。
If he had guessed correctly, the great sages' caves should be nearby.
rán ér xiū xiān jiè miàn jī guǎng bó ， zhēn zhèng de líng yǎn zhī bǎo qí shí yuǎn bù zhǐ zhè sān zhǒng de 。
然而修仙界面积广博，真正的灵眼之宝其实远不止这三种的。
Lin Xuan released his divine sense and meticulously searched inch by inch. However, there were no results.
zhǐ bù guò xiāng duì lái shuō ， zhè sān zhǒng róng yì kàn jiàn 。
只不过相对来说，这三种容易看见。
Lin Xuan frowned but showed no signs of discouragement. Taking a deep breath, silver light flared in his eyes.
ér qí tā de líng yǎn zhī bǎo ， zuì duō zài shàng gǔ diǎn jí zhōng yǒu yī xiē tīng shuō 。
而其他的灵眼之宝，最多在上古典籍中有一些听说。
Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eye!
bǐ rú ， yǎn qián de líng yǎn zhī hú ， guāng cóng miàn jī ， jiù zhī dào yuǎn fēi yì bān de líng yǎn zhī quán kě yǐ bǐ nǐ 。
比如，眼前的灵眼之湖，光从面积，就知道远非一般的灵眼之泉可以比拟。
With Lin Xuan’s current strength, this technique was almost on par with the true king of birds; it was just slightly inferior.
bì jìng líng qì dōu huà wèi le yè tǐ ， zì rán shì fēi cháng nóng yù ， ruò néng xī shōu lǐ miàn de chōng pèi líng lì ， jí biàn duì yú dù jié qī xiū shì ， nà yě shì dà yǒu hǎo chù dì 。
毕竟灵气都化为了液体，自然是非常浓郁，若能吸收里面的充沛灵力，即便对于渡劫期修士，那也是大有好处地。
His eyes now glowed intensely as he pushed the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eye to its limits. A blurry image appeared before him.
lín xuān xīn zhōng huān xǐ 。
林轩心中欢喜。
"Phew!"
hái méi yǒu zhēn zhèng zhǎo dào jǐ wèi shàng gǔ dà néng de dòng fǔ ， dàn guāng shì yǎn qián de líng yǎn zhī hú ， jiù shì yī bù cuò de bǎo wù 。
还没有真正找到几位上古大能的洞府，但光是眼前的灵眼之湖，就是一不错的宝物。
Lin Xuan exhaled. "What a mysterious spell! It seems one of those ancient great sages excelled in spatial法则. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have hidden their caves so well."
bù guò lín xuān dào dǐ bú shì pǔ tōng de xiū xiān zhě ， huān xǐ de biǎo qíng yě jǐn jǐn shì yī shǎn ér guò ， suí hòu jiù kāi shǐ jí zhōng jīng shén ， xún mì qǐ zhēn zhèng de mù biāo lái le 。
不过林轩到底不是普通的修仙者，欢喜的表情也仅仅是一闪而过，随后就开始集中精神，寻觅起真正的目标来了。
His self-talk echoed as he acted. He raised his right hand and made a sword with his fingers, delivering a fierce slash.
ruò shì méi yǒu liào cuò ， jǐ wèi dà néng de dòng fǔ yīng gāi jiù zài zhè fù jìn de 。
若是没有料错，几位大能的洞府应该就在这附近的。
Spirit light flashed, and a beam of light shot forward, flying several dozen feet before disappearing into the void.
lín xuān jiāng shén shí fàng chū 。
林轩将神识放出。
In the next moment, spatial ripples surged, revealing a space rift about a foot long in his vision.
yī cùn yī cùn de xì xì sōu suǒ ， rán ér yī wú suǒ huò 。
一寸一寸的细细搜索，然而一无所获。
Lin Xuan’s expression remained calm as he continued to make a virtual strike. A sizzling sound filled his ears; the rift grew larger and eventually transformed into a swirling vortex.
lín xuān de méi tóu zhòu qǐ lái le ， dàn què méi yǒu fēn háo qì něi zhī sè 。
林轩的眉头皱起来了，但却没有分毫气馁之色。
Bottomless!
shēn shēn hū xī ， móu dǐ shēn chù yín máng dà qǐ 。
深深呼吸，眸底深处银芒大起。
But this was just the beginning. The vortex rotated rapidly, expanding its area. After some time, the vortex vanished, replaced by a palace in view.
tiān fèng shén mù ！
天凤神目！
"Another palace."
yǐ lín xuān rú jīn de shí lì ， cǐ shén tōng suī rán wú fǎ hé zhēn zhèng de bǎi niǎo zhī wáng xiàng bǐ ， dàn yě xiāng chā wú jǐ 。
以林轩如今的实力，此神通虽然无法和真正的百鸟之王相比，但也相差无几。
Lin Xuan’s face showed surprise. However, this palace was far more magnificent than the one he had entered. Just the entrance alone was over a hundred feet high; Lin Xuan felt like an insignificant ant standing there.
ér cǐ kè ， tā yǎn móu zhōng yín máng yào mù yǐ jí ， xiǎn rán yǐ jiāng tiān fèng shén mù qū shǐ dào le jí zhì 。
而此刻，他眼眸中银芒耀目以极，显然已将天凤神目驱使到了极致。
The palace’s door was tightly shut, crafted from unknown essence wood with birds, beasts, insects, and fish painted on it—similar to those on the treasure map. Lin Xuan found them familiar but couldn’t recall where he had seen them.
yī fú mó mó hú hú de jǐng xiàng chū xiàn zài le shì xiàn lǐ 。
一幅模模糊糊的景象出现在了视线里。
While Lin Xuan stood in awe of the giant palace, somewhere in a hidden corner of this mysterious space, Old Devil Mu Yunzong from the Pastoral Cloud Sect also showed surprise. Several ancient beast corpses lay beside him, but his gaze fell on something not far away.
“ hū ！”
“呼！”
Following his gaze, one could see a large cocoon-like object towering over a foot high, dull and unremarkable at first glance.
lín xuān xū le kǒu qì ：“ hǎo xuán miào de fǎ shù ， kàn lái nà jǐ wèi shàng gǔ dà néng zhōng yě yǒu rén shàn cháng kōng jiān fǎ zé ， fǒu zé ， bù kě néng jiāng dòng fǔ yǐn cáng dé rú cǐ hǎo de 。”
林轩吁了口气：“好玄妙的法术，看来那几位上古大能中也有人擅长空间法则，否则，不可能将洞府隐藏得如此好的。”
However, every incense stick’s worth of time, colorful runes flowed across the surface of the cocoon.
zì yán zì yǔ de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， lín xuān shǒu shàng yǐ yǒu le dòng zuò 。
自言自语的声音传入耳朵，林轩手上已有了动作。
These runes were extremely mysterious. Although Old Devil Mu Yunzong was a渡劫 cultivator, he could only understand them partially.
yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， yǐ zhǐ zuò jiàn ， hěn hěn cháo zhe qián fāng lái le yī jì xū pī 。
右手抬起，以指做剑，狠狠朝着前方来了一记虚劈。
One thing was certain: these runes had an封印effect.
líng guāng yī shǎn ， yī dào guāng rèn jī shè xiàng qián ， fēi le shù shí zhàng yǒu yú ， mò rù xū kōng xiāo shī zài shì xiàn lǐ 。
灵光一闪，一道光刃激射向前，飞了数十丈有余，没入虚空消失在视线里。
His face showed shock. Even though he couldn’t decipher the runes, their terrifying power was evident.
xià yī kè ， kōng jiān bō dòng zhòu qǐ ， yī tiáo chǐ xǔ zhǎng de kōng jiān liè fèng chū xiàn zài shì xiàn lǐ 。
下一刻，空间波动骤起，一条尺许长的空间裂缝出现在视线里。
If he were in that cocoon’s place, there would be no chance of escape.
lín xuān liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng wú jīng wú xǐ ， jì xù tái shǒu xū pī ， cī lā shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà liè fèng yuè lái yuè dà ， suí hòu yī zhèn mó hú ， jū rán huà wèi le yī kōng jiān xuán wō 。
林轩脸上的表情无惊无喜，继续抬手虚劈，刺啦声传入耳朵，那裂缝越来越大，随后一阵模糊，居然化为了一空间漩涡。
What lay inside? Old Devil Mu Yunzong felt curious but vaguely sensed that this treasure hunt might hide some secrets.
Lin Xuan showed no intention of retreating. With a wave of his sleeves, a ball of flame the size of an egg flew out.
Five-colored Crystal!
Just the aura it emitted was enough to send shivers down one's spine.
Phantom Spirit Heavenly Fire!
With Lin Xuan’s current strength, facing these three ancient beasts, there were countless methods he could use to counter their attacks.
In the end, he chose Phantom Spirit Heavenly Fire. He didn’t need to say anything; his intention was clear—to see how this fire’s abilities had changed after refining it from chaotic Yin energy.
A flash of spiritual light passed by, and in an instant, the void was frozen. The whirlwind or lightning that followed were instantly ice-bound as they faced the extreme cold法则.
Lin Xuan stood still as if he hadn’t moved at all, while three figures before him had turned into ice sculptures, still maintaining their offensive stance but devoid of life.
Sure enough, it was the lion, bat, and python.
Instant kill!
The power of Phantom Spirit Heavenly Fire after its evolution was even more terrifying than Lin Xuan had anticipated. These creatures didn’t even come close to the fire; they simply perished under the influence of that wondrous extreme cold法则.
Lin Xuan took a deep breath, his expression shifting from shock to joy. Clearly, the power of Phantom Spirit Heavenly Fire after its evolution exceeded his expectations.
The entire process seemed complicated but only lasted an instant. Lin Xuan retracted Phantom Spirit Heavenly Fire and the ice sculptures dissipated with the wind as if nothing had happened.
He then raised his head and surveyed the surroundings. The landscape stretched out before him, with rolling hills extending far into the distance. However, the aura of the place seemed not very abundant in essence energy. This scene was different from what he had seen before entering the palace.
