“ shǎo zhǔ xiǎng yào zhī dào ， zì rán méi yǒu wèn tí 。”
“少主想要知道，自然没有问题。”
"Lord Young Master, if you wish to know, there's no problem."
nà míng jiào xuě líng de shào nǚ tàn le kǒu qì ， liǎn shàng lù chū jǐ fēn luò jì ， shì yì shí yí ， yī huǎng yǎn ， yǐ shì bǎi wàn nián guò qù 。
那名叫雪灵的少女叹了口气，脸上露出几分落寂，事易时移，一晃眼，已是百万年过去。
The young lady named Xue Ling sighed, a hint of melancholy on her face. Time had passed swiftly; it was already a million years since the past.
xī rì ， tā yě shì chì zhà fēng yún de dù jié qī xiū xiān zhě ， rú jīn què zhǐ shèng xià yī lǚ cán pò ， shuō wǎng shì bù kān huí shǒu yě bù wèi guò 。
昔日，她也是叱咤风云的渡劫期修仙者，如今却只剩下一缕残魄，说往事不堪回首也不为过。
Back then, she was a powerful cultivator in the劫渡 stage, commanding respect and fear. Now, all that remained were fragments of her soul. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that recalling those times was painful.
wéi yī zhí de qìng xìng de shì ， bǎi wàn nián guò qù ， mò yuè zú de yí bǎo bìng méi yǒu mái mò ， hái děng lái zhè me liǎo bù qǐ de yī míng chuán chéng zhě 。
唯一值得庆幸的是，百万年过去，墨月族的遗宝并没有埋没，还等来这么了不起的一名传承者。
The only thing worth celebrating was that despite a million years passing, the remnants of the Moon Shadow Clan's treasures hadn't been lost, waiting for such a remarkable successor.
ruò tā kěn yǔ zì jǐ hé zuò ， yě xǔ shì qíng hái yǒu zhuǎn jī de 。
若他肯与自己合作，也许事情还有转机的。
If he agreed to cooperate, perhaps there would still be hope.
shào nǚ xiǎng dào zhè lǐ ， liǎn shàng shǎn guò jǐ fēn jī dòng zhī sè ， zuǐ chún wēi qǐ ：“ cháng huà duǎn shuō ， shǎo zhǔ xiǎng yào zhī dào mò yuè zú wèi hé shuāi luò ， nà qiè shēn qiě wèn yī jù ， zhè shī luò jiè miàn de lái lì ， shǎo zhǔ kě yì qīng èr chǔ ？”
少女想到这里，脸上闪过几分激动之色，嘴唇微启：“长话短说，少主想要知道墨月族为何衰落，那妾身且问一句，这失落界面的来历，少主可一清二楚？”
With this thought in mind, excitement flashed across her face. She opened her lips slightly and said, "To the point, Lord Young Master, if you wish to know why our Moon Shadow Clan declined, may I ask: do you have a clear understanding of how this Lost Realm came into being?"
“ zhè …… lín mǒu lüè yǒu suǒ wén 。”
“这……林某略有所闻。”
"Ah... I've heard some whispers about it."
lín xuān chén yín zhe shuō ， suí hòu liǎn shàng què lù chū le chī jīng zhī sè ， duì fāng huì tí dào shī luò de jiè miàn ， nán dào shuō ， mò yuè zú de shuāi luò ， yě shì yīn wèi yù wài tiān mó ？
林轩沉吟着说，随后脸上却露出了吃惊之色，对方会提到失落的界面，难道说，墨月族的衰落，也是因为域外天魔？
Lin Xuan pondered for a moment before his expression turned surprised. The mention of the Lost Realm suggested that the decline of their clan might be linked to the域外天魔.
tā xīn zhōng rú cǐ xiǎng zhe ， ér zhè jiàn shì qíng běn yě méi yǒu bì yào yǔ duì fāng xū yǔ wēi yí ， yú shì liǎn shàng zì rán ér rán de liú lù chū le jí wéi jīng yà de shén sè 。
他心中如此想着，而这件事情本也没有必要与对方虚与委蛇，于是脸上自然而然的流露出了极为惊讶的神色。
He thought so, but there was no need to play games with her. His face naturally showed great surprise.
“ shǎo zhǔ cōng huì ， kàn lái nǐ yǐ jīng xiǎng dào le ， bù cuò ， wǒ mò yuè zú zhī suǒ yǐ shuāi luò ， suī rán bù néng wán quán shuō ， shì yīn wèi yù wài tiān mó ， dàn yǔ tā men què shí yǒu zhe qiān sī wàn lǚ de qiān chě 。” xuě líng yōu yōu de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， liǎn shàng mǎn shì huí yì zhī sè 。
“少主聪慧，看来你已经想到了，不错，我墨月族之所以衰落，虽然不能完全说，是因为域外天魔，但与他们确实有着千丝万缕的牵扯。”雪灵幽幽的声音传入耳朵，脸上满是回忆之色。
"Lord Young Master is wise; it seems you've already figured this out. Indeed, our Moon Shadow Clan's downfall wasn't entirely due to the域外天魔, but they did bring us trouble through a piece of treasure," Xue Ling's voice was filled with nostalgia as she spoke.
“ ó ， hái qǐng xiān zi xiáng shuō 。” lín xuān yǐ shǒu fǔ é ， duì fāng liáo liáo jǐ jù yán yǔ ， què jiāng tā de hào qí xīn gōu qǐ lái le 。
“哦，还请仙子详说。”林轩以手抚额，对方寥寥几句言语，却将他的好奇心勾起来了。
"Oh, please elaborate," Lin Xuan rubbed his forehead; just a few words had piqued his curiosity.
mò yuè zú zhī suǒ yǐ shuāi luò ， jū rán shì yīn wèi yù wài tiān mó ， zhè shì lín xuān shì xiān bù céng xiǎng dào de 。
墨月族之所以衰落，居然是因为域外天魔，这是林轩事先不曾想到的。
The decline of their clan was linked to the域外天魔. This was something Lin Xuan hadn't anticipated.
rán ér zhè ge niàn tou shàng wèi zhuǎn guò ， duì fāng què huà fēng yī zhuǎn ：“ shǎo zhǔ xiǎng yào zhī dào xiáng xì ， zhè zì rán yě méi yǒu wèn tí ， dàn yào shuō qǐ yīn ， què shì jī yuán qiǎo hé ， wǒ mò yuè zú dé dào le yī jiàn bǎo wù ， pǐ fū wú zuì ， huái bì qí zuì ， cóng ér wèi běn zú zhāo rě lái le dà huò 。”
然而这个念头尚未转过，对方却话锋一转：“少主想要知道详细，这自然也没有问题，但要说起因，却是机缘巧合，我墨月族得到了一件宝物，匹夫无罪，怀璧其罪，从而为本族招惹来了大祸。”
Before he could think further, however, her tone shifted: "Lord Young Master wishes to know more details? That's fine. But the reason is purely coincidental. Our clan obtained a treasure, and like a commoner carrying a precious gem, it brought us great misfortune."
lín xuān què tīng dé yī zhèn mí hū ， gāng cái hái zài chě yù wài tiān mó ， rú jīn zěn me yòu pǐ fū wú zuì ， huái bì qí zuì qǐ lái le ， ráo shì lín xuān nǎi cōng míng jī biàn de xiū xiān zhě ， yī shí piàn kè ， què yě zhuǎn bù guò zhè ge wān ér lái le 。
林轩却听得一阵迷糊，刚才还在扯域外天魔，如今怎么又匹夫无罪，怀璧其罪起来了，饶是林轩乃聪明机变的修仙者，一时片刻，却也转不过这个弯儿来了。
Lin Xuan was confused. They had just been discussing the域外天魔, but now they were talking about a commoner carrying a precious gem. Even as an astute cultivator, he couldn't immediately grasp this shift.
bù yóu de tuō kǒu ér chū ：“ bǎo wù ， shén me bǎo wù ？”
不由得脱口而出：“宝物，什么宝物？”
"Treasure? What treasure?" Lin Xuan asked aloud while pondering. He knew little of their clan's past, but with a top-tier powerhouse like the Divine Witch Immortal, their strength was undoubtedly formidable.
lín xuān yī biān wèn ， yě yī biān sī suǒ ， xī rì mò yuè zú jù tǐ de qíng xíng tā suī rán bù xiǎo de ， dàn jì rán yōng yǒu tiān wū shén nǚ zhè yàng de dǐng jí qiáng zhě ， shí lì xiǎn rán yě shì fēi cháng qiáng dà de 。
林轩一边问，也一边思索，昔日墨月族具体的情形他虽然不晓得，但既然拥有天巫神女这样的顶级强者，实力显然也是非常强大的。
A mere piece of treasure could bring about the downfall of an entire clan; it must be something extraordinary.
qū qū yī jiàn bǎo wù ， jū rán néng dài lái miè zú zhī huò ， nà bǎo bèi běn shēn ， kěn dìng shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。
区区一件宝物，居然能带来灭族之祸，那宝贝本身，肯定是非同小可。
Could it be a先天灵宝?
nán dào shì xiān tiān líng bǎo me ？
难道是先天灵宝么？
No, although such treasures were powerful, there were over ten in existence. A Divine Witch Immortal would naturally have one or two. It couldn't possibly bring down their clan.
bú duì ， xiān tiān líng bǎo suī rán liǎo de ， dàn fàng yǎn líng jiè yě yǒu shí yú jiàn zhī duō 。
不对，先天灵宝虽然了得，但放眼灵界也有十余件之多。
This reasoning was clearly flawed.
tiān wū shén nǚ zhè yàng de qiáng zhě yōng yǒu yī liǎng jiàn shì zài zhèng cháng bù guò ， zěn me kě néng wèi mò yuè zú dài lái miè mén zhī huò 。
天巫神女这样的强者拥有一两件是再正常不过，怎么可能为墨月族带来灭门之祸。
The only other possibility was a treasure from the True仙界, but its exact rank was hard to determine as he hadn't seen many such treasures himself.
zhè ge lǐ yóu míng xiǎn shì shuō bù tōng de 。
这个理由明显是说不通的。
Xue Ling's voice cut through his thoughts: "What else could have caused such chaos in the three realms? Ordinary divine treasures couldn't do it. The only thing that comes to mind is the Blue Star Sea."
nà chú le xiān tiān líng bǎo ， jiù zhǐ yǒu zhēn xiān jiè liú chuán xià lái de bǎo wù ， jù tǐ shì shén me děng jiē de bù tài hǎo shuō ， bì jìng xiān jiā zhī bǎo lín xuān yě méi zěn me jiàn guò ， xīn zhōng zhǐ néng cāi cè 。
那除了先天灵宝，就只有真仙界流传下来的宝物，具体是什么等阶的不太好说，毕竟仙家之宝林轩也没怎么见过，心中只能猜测。
"What... what, the Blue Star Sea?" Lin Xuan was speechless despite having faced many challenges and matured mentally.
ér duì fāng de shēng yīn zài zhè shí hòu chuán rù ěr duǒ ， duì yú lín xuān lái shuō ， jiǎng chéng shí pò tiān jīng yě bù wèi guò 。
而对方的声音在这时候传入耳朵，对于林轩来说，讲成石破天惊也不为过。
Even if he wasn't particularly deep, this shock was too great. For him, nothing could be more memorable than the Blue Star Sea.
“ hái néng yǒu shén me dōng xī ， néng ràng sān jiè yě wèi zhī fēng kuáng de bǎo wù ， pǔ tōng de xiān jiā zhī bǎo yě bàn bú dào de ， fàng yǎn tiān xià ， zòng héng jīn gǔ ， yě wéi yǒu lán sè xīng hǎi le 。”
“还能有什么东西，能让三界也为之疯狂的宝物，普通的仙家之宝也办不到的，放眼天下，纵横今古，也唯有蓝色星海了。”
If it weren't for that chance encounter with the treasure, would he have had the opportunity to stand here?
“ shén …… shén me ， lán …… lán sè xīng hǎi ？” ráo shì lín xuān jīng lì dà fēng dà làng wú shù ， xīn zhì chéng shú ， zǎo yǐ lì liàn dào tài shān bēng yú qián ér bù biàn sè ， dàn cǐ shí cǐ kè ， yě mù dèng kǒu dāi le 。
“什……什么，蓝……蓝色星海？”饶是林轩经历大风大浪无数，心智成熟，早已历练到泰山崩于前而不变色，但此时此刻，也目瞪口呆了。
He knew his own situation well; while his willpower was strong, the path of immortals wasn't just about perseverance. Human resources were limited, and without a spirit root or even a灵根, he might not have reached the劫渡 stage, let alone become a foundation-establishing cultivator.
bú yào shuō lín xuān méi yǒu chéng fǔ ， shí zài shì zhè fèn zhèn jīng lái de tài guò ， duì lín xuān lái shuō ， yǒu shén me dōng xī ， néng bǐ lán sè xīng hǎi lái de gèng yìn xiàng shēn kè 。
不要说林轩没有城府，实在是这份震惊来得太过，对林轩来说，有什么东西，能比蓝色星海来得更印象深刻。
This realization made him realize how crucial the Blue Star Sea was to him. He had never spoken of it to anyone except Mo'er, and even Peacock and Heart Refinement rarely mentioned it.
ruò bú shì jī yuán qiǎo hé ， dé dào le zhè jiàn bǎo wù ， zì jǐ yǒu jī huì zhàn zài zhè lǐ me ？
若不是机缘巧合，得到了这件宝物，自己有机会站在这里么？
Hearing about this secret from Xue Ling's lips stirred his emotions to an extreme.
zì jǐ de qíng kuàng zì jǐ zuì qīng chǔ ， suī rán xīn zhì jiān rèn méi cuò ， rán ér xiān dào qū zhé ， bìng bú shì yǒu bǎi zhé bù náo de jīng shén jiù gòu le 。
自己的情况自己最清楚，虽然心智坚韧没错，然而仙道曲折，并不是有百折不挠的精神就够了。
Fortunately, her expression didn't betray any suspicion when she saw his reaction.
rén lì yǒu shí ér qióng ， zì jǐ de zī zhì tài chà le ， lián líng gēn yě wú ， ruò bú shì yǒu lán sè xīng hǎi de fǔ zhù ， bié shuō jìn jiē chéng wéi dù jié jí bié de dà néng xiū xiān zhě ， jiù shì néng fǒu zhù jī dōu shì wèi zhī zhī shù 。
人力有时而穷，自己的资质太差了，连灵根也无，若不是有蓝色星海的辅助，别说进阶成为渡劫级别的大能修仙者，就是能否筑基都是未知之数。
Xue Ling was a cultivator from ancient times who had stayed in the ruins for millions of years. In those ancient times, the Blue Star Sea caused great turmoil across the three realms. Although it wasn't widely known, many劫渡 cultivators had heard rumors about its existence.
zhè yì diǎn ， lín xuān hěn qīng chǔ ， gù ér lán sè xīng hǎi yì zhí shì tā zuì zhòng yào de bǎo wù ， chú le yuè ér ， nǎ pà shì kǒng què ， qín xīn yě bù céng shuō 。
这一点，林轩很清楚，故而蓝色星海一直是他最重要的宝物，除了月儿，哪怕是孔雀，琴心也不曾说。
Not knowing the current situation, Xue Ling assumed that the Blue Star Sea was still the most famous treasure. Thus, she didn't question Lin Xuan's surprise.
rú jīn cóng duì fāng zuǐ lǐ ， tīng jiàn yǔ lán sè xīng hǎi yǒu guān de mì mì ， lín xuān zěn néng bù xīn qíng jī dàng yǐ jí 。
如今从对方嘴里，听见与蓝色星海有关的秘密，林轩怎能不心情激荡以极。
Lin Xuan, however, quickly recovered from his initial shock and realized he had overreacted.
hǎo zài tā zhè fān jīng yà de biǎo qíng luò zài duì fāng yǎn lǐ ， cǐ nǚ dào yě bìng wèi qǐ yí 。
好在他这番惊讶的表情落在对方眼里，此女倒也并未起疑。
Fortunately, she hadn't noticed anything amiss. He felt relieved.
bì jìng xuě líng nǎi shì shàng gǔ shí qī de xiū xiān zhě ， zhè jǐ bǎi wàn nián yì zhí dài zài yǎn qián de gǔ xiū shì yí jì zhōng bù céng chū qù guò 。
毕竟雪灵乃是上古时期的修仙者，这几百万年一直待在眼前的古修士遗迹中不曾出去过。
The value of the Blue Star Sea was clear to him; if this information leaked, he might not have a place in any realm.
ér zài shàng gǔ zhī shí ， yīn wèi lán sè xīng hǎi zài sān jiè zhōng xiān qǐ xīng fēng xuè yǔ ， cǐ jiàn bǎo wù de dà míng ， suī rán méi dào rén jǐn jiē zhī de dì bù ， dàn dù jié jí bié de xiū xiān zhě ， huò duō huò shǎo ， dōu tīng dào guò yī xiē chuán shuō 。
而在上古之时，因为蓝色星海在三界中掀起腥风血雨，此件宝物的大名，虽然没到人尽皆知的地步，但渡劫级别的修仙者，或多或少，都听到过一些传说。
"Phew!"
rú jīn de qíng xíng xuě líng bìng bù xiǎo de ， yǐ wéi lán sè xīng hǎi yī jiù shì zuì wèi zhī míng de bǎo wù ， gù ér lín xuān jīng yà de biǎo qíng tā yě jiù méi yǒu qù yí xīn shén me 。
如今的情形雪灵并不晓得，以为蓝色星海依旧是最为知名的宝物，故而林轩惊讶的表情她也就没有去疑心什么。
Lin Xuan sighed with relief as he concealed his surprise.
ér lín xuān dào dǐ bú shì pǔ tōng de xiū xiān zhě ， zài zuì chū de jīng yà guò hòu ， yǐ jīng míng bái zì jǐ gāng gāng shì yǒu xiē shī tài le 。
而林轩到底不是普通的修仙者，在最初的惊讶过后，已经明白自己刚刚是有些失态了。
"Do you say that our Moon Shadow Clan's decline is due to the Blue Star Sea?" Lin Xuan asked, his tone calm and collected. His expression no longer betrayed anything amiss.
hǎo zài duì fāng bìng wèi qǐ yí ， tā xīn zhōng shì qìng xìng bù yǐ 。
好在对方并未起疑，他心中是庆幸不已。
"Yes, it was a complex matter. I'll be brief. It seems we were fortunate enough for the Divine Witch Immortal of our clan to obtain the Blue Star Sea during one of her travels through other realms," Xue Ling explained.
lán sè xīng hǎi de jià zhí lín xuān zuì qīng chǔ ， rú guǒ zhè ge xiāo xī xiè lòu ， sān jiè miàn jī suī guǎng ， zì jǐ kǒng pà yě jiāng méi yǒu lì zú zhī chù 。
蓝色星海的价值林轩最清楚，如果这个消息泄漏，三界面积虽广，自己恐怕也将没有立足之处。
"Wait."
“ hū ！”
“呼！”
Though she spoke little, the information contained in those few words was significant. Lin Xuan was stunned: "Lady, you said that the Divine Witch Immortal traveled through other realms. Isn't it true that only the Demon Realm and Netherworld are parallel to our realm?"
lín xuān àn zì sōng le kǒu qì ， què yě jiāng nà jīng yà de biǎo qíng shōu liǎn ér qǐ 。
林轩暗自松了口气，却也将那惊讶的表情收敛而起。
Lin Xuan's shock was understandable; the three realms had been known for a long time, with only the human world as an inferior realm and the divine realm at the highest level.
“ xiān zi shuō ， mò yuè zú zhī suǒ yǐ shuāi luò ， shì yīn wèi lán sè xīng hǎi me ？” lín xuān chén yín de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， cǐ shí cóng tā de biǎo qíng shén tài ， yǐ jīng nán yǐ fā xiàn shén me bù tuǒ 。
“仙子说，墨月族之所以衰落，是因为蓝色星海么？”林轩沉吟的声音传入耳朵，此时从他的表情神态，已经难以发现什么不妥。
Was there another realm besides these?
“ bù cuò ， cǐ shì de qǐ yīn shuō lái fán fù ， qiè shēn cháng huà duǎn shuō ， dāng nián dà yuē shì jī yuán qiǎo hé ， běn zú de tiān wū shén nǚ zài yī cì wài chū qù qí tā jiè miàn yuǎn yóu de shí hòu ， jī yuán qiǎo hé ， dé dào le yī jiàn bù dé le de bǎo wù ， nà jiù shì lán sè xīng hǎi le 。”
“不错，此事的起因说来繁复，妾身长话短说，当年大约是机缘巧合，本族的天巫神女在一次外出去其他界面远游的时候，机缘巧合，得到了一件不得了的宝物，那就是蓝色星海了。”
"What? Only the ancient demon realm and Netherworld are parallel to our realm. How is that possible? I've been asleep for millions of years, but my memory isn't faulty. There must be more than two such realms; at least a thousand," Xue Ling said firmly.
“ děng děng 。”
“等等。”
"More than a thousand?" Lin Xuan was speechless. This revelation was too shocking: "Are you joking!"
duì fāng huà suī rán bù duō ， rán ér qí zhōng suǒ bāo hán de xìn xī ， què shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， lín xuān tīng dé shì chēng mù jié shé ， yǒu yī xiē dōng xī ， tā kě yǐ shuō shì wén suǒ wèi wén de ：“ xiān zi gāng cái shuō shén me ， tiān wū shén nǚ qián bèi qù qí tā de jiè miàn yuǎn yóu ， yǒu méi yǒu gǎo cuò ， yǔ líng jiè píng xíng de jiè miàn bú shì zhǐ yǒu mó jiè yǔ yīn sī jiè me ？”
对方话虽然不多，然而其中所包含的信息，却是非同小可，林轩听得是瞠目结舌，有一些东西，他可以说是闻所未闻的：“仙子刚才说什么，天巫神女前辈去其他的界面远游，有没有搞错，与灵界平行的界面不是只有魔界与阴司界么？”
Lin Xuan couldn't believe his ears. The Blue Star Sea's existence was far beyond what he had imagined.
"Lord Young Master, if you wish to know, there's no problem."
The young lady named Xue Ling sighed, a hint of melancholy on her face. Time had passed swiftly; it was already a million years since the past.
Back then, she was a powerful cultivator in the劫渡 stage, commanding respect and fear. Now, all that remained were fragments of her soul. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that recalling those times was painful.
The only thing worth celebrating was that despite a million years passing, the remnants of the Moon Shadow Clan's treasures hadn't been lost, waiting for such a remarkable successor.
