pò kōng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， zhǐ jiàn yǎn qián jīn máng dà zuò ， hái hǎo lín xuān fǎn yìng xùn jí ， fǒu zé nǎ pà shāo wēi màn shàng yī bù ， kǒng pà xiàn zài yě jǐ bèi shè chéng le fēng wō 。
破空声传入耳朵，只见眼前金芒大做，还好林轩反应迅疾，否则哪怕稍微慢上一步，恐怕现在也己被射成了蜂窝。
The sound of the breaking air entered Lin Xuan's ears. In front of him, golden light was blazing. Fortunately, Lin Xuan reacted swiftly; otherwise, he would have been shot like a honeycomb.
huà xiǎn wéi yí ， dàn lín xuān liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng míng xiǎn yǒu xiē xīn yǒu yú jì 。
化险为夷，但林轩脸上的表情明显有些心有余悸。
After turning the danger into safety, Lin Xuan's expression still showed some lingering fear.
zhǐ jiàn diàn mén bā jīng kāi qǐ ， yī xiē jīn kuī jīn jiǎ de wǔ shì yìng rù le yǎn lián lǐ 。
只见殿门巴经开启，一些金盔金甲的武士映入了眼帘里。
The gate had already opened, and some warriors in golden armor were visible. They held swords, spears, and halberds, with a row of archers maintaining their drawn bows. The streaks of golden light that had just passed by must have been the attacks from these guys on Lin Xuan.
shǒu lǐ ná zhe dāo qiāng jiàn jǐ ， qián miàn hái yǒu yī pái gōng jiàn shǒu bǎo chí zhe lā gōng de zī shì ， bù yòng tí ， gāng cái de yī lǚ lǚ jīn máng ， jiù shì zhè xiē jiā huo duì lín xuān fā dòng de zǔ jī 。
手里拿着刀枪剑戟，前面还有一排弓箭手保持着拉弓的姿势，不用提，刚才的一缕缕金芒，就是这些家伙对林轩发动的阻击。
Lin Xuan looked at the armored warriors before him; they weren't cultivators but lacked any trace of mana emanating from them. They were definitely puppets made from various rare materials, no doubt about it.
lín xuān wàng zhe qián miàn de jīn jiǎ wǔ shì ， zhè xiē kě bú shì xiū xiān zhě ， hún shēn shàng xià méi yǒu fēn háo de fǎ lì sàn fà ér chū ， yīng gāi shì yòng gè zhǒng zhēn xī cái liào liàn zhì chū lái de kuǐ lěi méi cuò 。
林轩望着前面的金甲武士，这些可不是修仙者，浑身上下没有分毫的法力散发而出，应该是用各种珍稀材料炼制出来的傀儡没错。
Their exact cultivation level was unknown, but their attack could roughly indicate their strength. It seemed that these puppets were on par with spirit-separated cultivators.
jù tǐ jìng jiè bù xiǎo de ， bù guò cóng tā men gāng cái de gōng jī ， yě kě yǐ dà tǐ tuī duàn chū zhè xiē jiā huo de shí lì 。
具体境界不晓得，不过从他们刚才的攻击，也可以大体推断出这些家伙的实力。
Lin Xuan's thoughts raced as a hint of greed flashed across his face. Spirit-separated level puppets! While such creatures weren't rare in the cultivation world, they held immense value that was hard to describe. If he could subdue them, it would be a significant fortune for him.
yīng gāi shì yǔ fēn shén jí bié de xiū shì xiāng chà fǎng fú 。
应该是与分神级别的修士相差仿佛。
After all, in the cultivation realm, not everything could be exchanged with crystal stones and treasures. With his current strength, acquiring one or two puppets of spirit-separated level wouldn't be difficult, but with over a hundred before him, the time required would be substantial.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， lín xuān liǎn shàng yě bù yóu de shǎn guò yī sī tān lán zhī sè 。
脑海中念头转过，林轩脸上也不由得闪过一丝贪婪之色。
Lin Xuan didn’t have that kind of leisure. His expression was filled with envy as he watched the armored puppets. However, there wasn’t any time for contemplation.
fēn shén jí bié de gōng lěi a ， zài rú jīn de xiū xiān jiè suī rán bù néng shuō shì jué wú jǐn yǒu zhī wù ， dàn qí jià zhí zhī dà yě nán yǐ yòng yán yǔ lái miáo shù ， ruò shì néng jiāng zhè xiē kuǐ lěi shōu fú ， jí biàn duì zì jǐ lái shuō ， yě jiāng shì yī dà bǐ cái fù 。
分神级别的供儡啊，在如今的修仙界虽然不能说是绝无仅有之物，但其价值之大也难以用言语来描述，若是能将这些傀儡收服，即便对自己来说，也将是一大笔财富。
These puppets were valuable, but they also harbored intense hostility towards Lin Xuan. They wouldn't hesitate to attack again after missing their first shot. The whizzing sounds continued as golden light flashed once more before him, finally making Lin Xuan realize his mistake. He had been so focused on subduing them that he forgot they were now his enemies.
bì jìng zài xiū xiān jiè ， yǒu yī xiē dōng xī ， bìng bú shì yōng yǒu jīng shí bǎo wù ， jiù yí dìng néng gòu huàn qǔ 。
毕竟在修仙界，有一些东西，并不是拥有晶石宝物，就一定能够换取。
He was too careless!
yǐ lín xuān rú jīn de shí lì ， yào shōu luó yī liǎng jù fēn shén jí bié de kuǐ lěi méi wèn tí ， dàn yǎn qián zú yǒu jìn bǎi zhī duō ， xiǎng yào shōu luó ， huā fèi de shí jiān ， jiù bú huì shì yì diǎn bàn diǎn le 。
以林轩如今的实力，要收罗一两具分神级别的傀儡没问题，但眼前足有近百之多，想要收罗，花费的时间，就不会是一点半点了。
Lin Xuan’s mind scolded himself for the oversight. His actions didn’t slow down; instead, he took a step to the side. Direct confrontation would be foolish in such circumstances.
lín xuān kě méi yǒu nà yàng de xián qíng yì zhì ， gù ér kàn zhuó yǎn qián de jīn jiǎ kuǐ lěi ， liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng ， nà shì yǎn chán yǐ jí 。
林轩可没有那样的闲情逸致，故而看着眼前的金甲傀儡，脸上的表情，那是眼馋以极。
First, use Nine Heavens Micro-Step to dodge this round of attacks.
kě yǎn qián ， gēn běn méi yǒu shí jiān gěi tā kǎo lǜ 。
可眼前，根本没有时间给他考虑。
Although Lin Xuan had been distracted by his thoughts and reacted slightly slower, his strength far exceeded that of these puppets. The golden light still fell to naught. Lin Xuan wasn’t one to take hits without retaliating; he flicked his sleeves, and dazzling sword lights swam out…
zhè xiē kuǐ lěi jià zhí bù xiǎo méi cuò ， dàn yǒu yì diǎn yě bié wàng le ， zhè xiē jiā huo duì lín xuān de dí yì ， yě shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。
这些傀儡价值不小没错，但有一点也别忘了，这些家伙对林轩的敌意，也是非同小可。
Meanwhile, on the other side.
yī jī bù zhōng ， kuǐ lěi zì rán bú huì yǒu jǔ sàng yī shuō ， wān gōng dā jiàn ， dì èr bō gōng jī yòu jǐ jīng lái le 。
一击不中，傀儡自然不会有沮丧一说，弯弓搭箭，第二波攻击又己经来了。
Old Devil Xu was also busy. His face showed excitement as magical light danced around him. He was operating several pitch-black treasures, fiercely attacking the giant silkworm cocoon.
yī shí jiān ， sōu sōu shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yǎn qián zài cì jīn guāng dà zuò ， zhè yàng de gōng jī ， yě zhōng yú ràng lín xuān fān rán xǐng wù ， kě xiào zì jǐ hái xiǎng zhe zěn yàng jiāng zhè xiē kuǐ lěi shōu fú ， què wàng le cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tā men shì zì jǐ de dí rén lái zhe 。
一时间，嗖嗖声传入耳朵，眼前再次金光大做，这样的攻击，也终于让林轩幡然醒悟，可笑自己还想着怎样将这些傀儡收服，却忘了此时此刻，它们是自己的敌人来着。
Golden spiritual light flowed across the surface of the cocoon, with mysterious symbols appearing in the void. Though their sizes varied, they were powerful and effectively blocking Xu’s attacks.
tài dà yì le ！
太大意了！
The cocoon had endured so long under the assault from a Great Daoist, indicating that this seal was indeed very advanced.
lín xuān xīn zhōng jiǎn tǎo zhe zì jǐ de shī wù 。
林轩心中检讨着自己的失误。
Thinking about what might be sealed inside—a possible先天魔宝—made Xu’s eyes gleam with excitement. His hands moved nonstop, pouring pure magical energy into his treasures.
shǒu shàng de dòng zuò ， què shì bàn diǎn yě bù màn lái zhe 。
手上的动作，却是半点也不慢来着。
After another cup of tea passed, a thunderous explosion echoed. The cocoon remained unchanged, but its golden light vanished, and the mysterious symbols turned to gray smoke.
yī jiù shì xiàng páng biān kuà chū yī bù ， zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng xià ， yìng pīn shì hěn bù míng zhì de 。
依旧是像旁边跨出一步，这种情况下，硬拼是很不明智的。
"Haha, finally, my efforts haven’t been in vain."
xiān yòng jiǔ tiān wēi bù shǎn guò zhè yī lún de gōng jī zài shuō 。
先用九天微步闪过这一轮的攻击再说。
Xu’s expression of joy flashed before he instantly appeared three feet from the cocoon without moving his steps. This wasn't a spatial technique; it was merely simple teleportation, something low-level cultivators dreamed of but was effortless for a Great Daoist.
suī rán lín xuān yīn wèi hú sī luàn xiǎng ， fǎn yìng shāo wēi màn le yī xiē ， dàn tā de shí lì ， bì jìng yuǎn shèng yǎn qián de kuǐ lěi xǔ duō ， suǒ yǐ nà xiē jīn guāng yī jiù shì luò dào le kōng chù ， ér lín xuān kě bú shì ái dǎ bù huán shǒu de rén wù ， xiù páo yī fú ， yī dào dào yào mù de jiàn guāng yú yóu ér chū ……，
虽然林轩因为胡思乱想，反应稍微慢了一些，但他的实力，毕竟远胜眼前的傀儡许多，所以那些金光依旧是落到了空处，而林轩可不是挨打不还手的人物，袖袍一拂，一道道耀目的剑光鱼游而出……，
With the seal on the surface removed, Xu now needed to figure out how to remove this treasure.
yǔ cǐ tóng shí ， lìng yī biān 。
与此同时，另一边。
Before he could think further, a clear ringing sound filled the air as dazzling spiritual light emanated from the cocoon’s surface. This time, it was black in color, and Xu felt extremely pure true demonic energy.
xǔ lǎo mó yě méi yǒu xián zhe ， tā de liǎn shàng mǎn shì xīng mǎo fèn zhī sè ， hún shēn shàng xià mó guāng fēi wǔ ， zhèng cāo zòng zhe jǐ jiàn qī hēi rú mò de bǎo wù ， pīn mìng gōng jī nà jù dà de cán jiǎn 。
许老魔也没有闲着，他的脸上满是兴冇奋之色，浑身上下魔光飞舞，正操纵着几件漆黑如墨的宝物，拼命攻击那巨大的蚕茧。
"Sure enough, a先天魔宝!"
cán jiǎn biǎo miàn ， jīn sè líng guāng liú zhuǎn ， yí gè gè shén mì yì cháng de fú wén ， zài xū kōng zhōng fú xiàn chū lái 。
蚕茧表面，金色灵光流转，一个个神秘异常的符文，在虚空中浮现出来。
Xu murmured with excitement. At this point, he had an 80% certainty. The excitement in his heart didn’t need to be said; the last bit of doubt in his mind had vanished.
dà xiǎo bù yī ， dàn wēi lì zhe shí bù sú ， fēn tóu dǐ dǎng zhe xǔ lǎo mó jì qǐ de jǐ yàng bǎo wù 。
大小不一，但威力着实不俗，分头抵挡着许老魔祭起的几样宝物。
Opportunity knocks but once!
néng gòu zài dù jié qī dà néng de gōng jī xià jiān chí zhè me jiǔ ， kě jiàn zhè guā yìn shí zài shì fēi cháng gāo jí le 。
能够在渡劫期大能的攻击下坚持这么久，可见这刮印实在是非常高级了。
With that thought, Xu took another step forward. His right hand reached out, but before he could touch the cocoon, something incredible happened.
rán mǎo ér yī xiǎng xiàng dào lǐ miàn fēng yìn zhe de ， kě néng shì xiān tiān mó bǎo ， xǔ lǎo mó jiù xīng mǎo fèn dé liǎng yǎn mào guāng 。
然冇而一想象到里面封印着的，可能是先天魔宝，许老魔就兴冇奋得两眼冒光。
Ssssh…
tā de shuāng shǒu bù tíng huī wǔ ， jīng chún yì cháng de mó qì zhèng yuán yuán bù duàn de yǒng mǎo rù shēn qián de jǐ jiàn bǎo wù 。
他的双手不停挥舞，精纯异常的魔气正源源不断的涌冇入身前的几件宝物。
As if a piece of silk was torn, deep cracks appeared on the surface of the cocoon. This was just the beginning; more sssh sounds filled his ears as new cracks rapidly emerged and soon covered the entire surface, resembling spider webs.
jiù zhè yàng ， yòu guò le yī zhǎn chá de gōng fu ， hōng lōng lóng ， yī zhèn jīng tiān dòng dì de bào xiǎng shēng chuán lái ， cán jiǎn hái shì nà ge cán jiǎn ， rán ér biǎo miàn de jīn sè líng guāng jǐ xiāo shī bú jiàn ， yí gè gè ） shén mì yì cháng de fú wén yě jǐ huà wèi le huī yān 。
就这样，又过了一盏茶的功夫，轰隆隆，一阵惊天动地的爆响声传来，蚕茧还是那个蚕茧，然而表面的金色灵光己消失不见，一个个）神秘异常的符文也己化为了灰烟。
Xu’s expression changed from surprise to joy. He had already broken the seal, so would this先天魔宝 emerge?
“ hā hā ， zhōng yú bù wǎng běn zūn yī fān xīn kǔ 。”
“哈哈，终于不枉本尊一番辛苦。”
That wouldn’t be bad either, saving him a lot of effort.
xǔ lǎo mó liǎn shàng jīng xǐ de biǎo qíng yī shǎn ér guò ， suí hòu yě bú jiàn tā nuó dòng jiǎo bù ， shēn xíng què yī zhèn mó hú ， suí hòu chū xiàn zài le nà cán jiǎn qián fāng sān chǐ zhī chù 。
许老魔脸上惊喜的表情一闪而过，随后也不见他挪动脚步，身形却一阵模糊，随后出现在了那蚕茧前方三尺之处。
Next, he needed to think about how to acquire it.
zhè bìng fēi kōng jiān mì shù ， zhǐ bù guò shì zuì wèi jiǎn dān de shùn yí bà le ， zhè zhǒng shén tōng duì dī jiē xiū shì lái shuō gù rán shì mèng mèi yǐ qiú zhī wù ， rán ér dù jié qī lǎo guài yào xué ， què shì shí fēn qīng sōng xiě yì de 。
这并非空间秘术，只不过是最为简单的瞬移罢了，这种神通对低阶修士来说固然是梦寐以求之物，然而渡劫期老怪要学，却是十分轻松写意的。
After all, a treasure at the先天level was undoubtedly highly spirited. Although he hadn’t owned one before, he had heard many stories related to such treasures and didn't want to lose it by accident.
cán jiǎn biǎo miàn de fǎn yìng yǐ jīng jiě chú ， jiē xià lái tā xū yào sī suǒ de jiù shì rú hé qù chú zhè jiàn bǎo wù 。
蚕茧表面的反应已经解除，接下来他需要思索的就是如何去除这件宝物。
In other words, this was the most critical moment. Xu didn’t want to make any mistakes now. He took a deep breath and focused his mind when suddenly, something unexpected happened.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou shàng wèi zhuǎn guò ， qīng míng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yī dào dào yào mù de líng guāng ， yóu nà cán jiǎn biǎo miàn tòu shè ér chū 。
脑海中念头尚未转过，清鸣声传入耳朵，一道道耀目的灵光，由那蚕茧表面透射而出。
The cocoon, covered in cracks, began spinning rapidly. Even with his extensive experience, Xu’s face showed confusion as he stared at it.
bù guò zhè yī cì ， nà líng guāng què zuò mò hēi zhī sè ， yǔ cǐ tóng shí ， xǔ lǎo mó bā gǎn yìng dào shí fēn jīng chún de zhēn mó zhī qì le 。
不过这一次，那灵光却做墨黑之色，与此同时，许老魔巴感应到十分精纯的真魔之气了。
After several moments,
“ guǒ rán shì xiān tiān mó bǎo ！”
“果然是先天魔宝！”
Boom!
nán nán zì yǔ de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， shì qíng dào le zhè yī bù ， xǔ lǎo mó bā jīng yǒu le bā chéng de bǎ wò 。
喃喃自语的声音传入耳朵，事情到了这一步，许老魔巴经有了八成的把握。
Suddenly, black demonic energy surged outward, and the cocoon exploded without any warning.
xīn zhōng de jī dòng bú yòng shuō ， nǎo hǎi shēn chù nà zuì hòu yì diǎn gù lǜ ， yě jǐ jīng fàng xià lái le 。
心中的jī动不用说，脑海深处那最后一点顾虑，也己经放下来了。
"Bad luck!"
jī bù kě shī ， shī bù zài lái ！
机不可失，失不再来！
In a moment of crisis, if another cultivator were here, they would be in shock. But Xu, being a Great Daoist, remained calm. Seeing the incoming demonic energy, he couldn’t retreat in time. His left hand flashed out like lightning, and a black shield materialized, forming an impenetrable light barrier that protected him just as the cocoon exploded.
Zhu Zhu…
The sound of the breaking air entered Lin Xuan's ears. In front of him, golden light was blazing. Fortunately, Lin Xuan reacted swiftly; otherwise, he would have been shot like a honeycomb.
After turning the danger into safety, Lin Xuan's expression still showed some lingering fear.
The gate had already opened, and some warriors in golden armor were visible. They held swords, spears, and halberds, with a row of archers maintaining their drawn bows. The streaks of golden light that had just passed by must have been the attacks from these guys on Lin Xuan.
