“ qiè shēn qǐ gǎn qī mán shǎo zhǔ ， zěn me ， xiàn zài yǔ líng jiè píng xíng de jiè miàn zhǐ shèng xià liǎng gè ？”
“妾身岂敢欺瞒少主，怎么，现在与灵界平行的界面只剩下两个？”
"Madam, I dare not deceive the Young Master. How come there are only two parallel planes left now?"
xuě líng tóng yàng shì mǎn liǎn chà yì de shuō 。
雪灵同样是满脸诧异的说。
Snow Spirit said with a look of astonishment on her face.
“ bù cuò 。”
“不错。”
"Not wrong."
lín xuān yǐ shǒu fǔ é ， yī shí jiān liǎng rén xiāng duì wú yǔ ， dàn zhè ge wèn tí ， lín xuān yě méi yǒu yì zhí jiū jié xià qù ， tā xiāng xìn duì fāng bú huì huǎng yán xiāng qī ， dàn xiàn zài sān dà jiè miàn píng qí ， yě shì bù róng zhì yí de shì 。
林轩以手抚额，一时间两人相对无语，但这个问题，林轩也没有一直纠结下去，他相信对方不会谎言相欺，但现在三大界面平齐，也是不容置疑的事。
Lin Xuan rubbed his forehead, and for a moment, the two were speechless. However, Lin Xuan did not dwell on this issue for long; he believed that the other party would not lie to him. But it was undeniable that the three planes were now perfectly aligned.
zhè zhōng jiān ， yí dìng fā shēng le shén me zì jǐ bìng bù zhī dào de yǐn mì ， xiàn zài jiū jié sī háo yì yì yě wú ， dà bù liǎo yǐ hòu liú xīn dǎ tàn yǔ cǐ xiāng guān de xiàn suǒ ， huò zhě duō fān yuè yī xià shàng gǔ diǎn jí 。
这中间，一定发生了什么自己并不知道的隐秘，现在纠结丝毫意义也无，大不了以后留心打探与此相关的线索，或者多翻阅一下上古典籍。
There must have been some secret that neither of them knew about, which had caused this situation. It made no sense to be overly concerned over such a trivial matter. He could either pay more attention and gather related clues in the future or read more ancient texts.
bì jìng zì jǐ xiàn zài yě shì dù jié qī ， yǒu jī huì jié shí nà xiē huó le shàng bǎi wàn nián de lǎo guài wù ， lín xuān xiāng xìn zhǐ yào zì jǐ liú yì ， zhè ge wèn tí shì bù nán dǎ tīng dì 。
毕竟自己现在也是渡劫期，有机会结识那些活了上百万年的老怪物，林轩相信只要自己留意，这个问题是不难打听地。
After all, he was currently at the Tribulation Transcending Stage, with the opportunity to meet those old monsters who lived for hundreds of thousands of years. Lin Xuan believed that as long as he paid attention, this issue would not be difficult to investigate.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， lín xuān yǐ shén sè rú cháng le ：“ xiān zi qǐng jiē zhe shuō 。”
脑海中念头转过，林轩已神色如常了：“仙子请接着说。”
With his thoughts settled, Lin Xuan's expression returned to normal: "Please continue."
“ shì 。”
“是。”
"Very well," Snow Spirit did not dwell on the matter either and said with a slight opening of her lips, "In those days, when the Divine Witch Goddess traveled across other planes for distant tours, she obtained this extraordinary treasure known as Blue Star Sea."
xuě líng yě méi yǒu jiū jié zhè ge wèn tí ， zuǐ chún wēi qǐ ：“ dāng nián tiān wū shén nǚ qù qí tā jiè miàn yuǎn yóu ， dé dào le lán sè xīng hǎi zhè jiàn nì tiān jí bié de bǎo wù 。”
雪灵也没有纠结这个问题，嘴唇微启：“当年天巫神女去其他界面远游，得到了蓝色星海这件逆天级别的宝物。”
"The effects of this treasure are inconceivable. Whether it's medicinal pills or precious materials, they all have a purifying effect."
“ qí gōng xiào zhī bù kě sī yì nán yǐ yán shù ， bù lùn shì dān yào yě hǎo ， zhēn guì de cái liào yě bà ， dōu yǒu zhe tí chún de xiào guǒ 。”
“其功效之不可思议难以言述，不论是丹药也好，珍贵的材料也罢，都有着提纯的效果。”
"Really?"
“ zhēn de me ？”
“真的么？”
Lin Xuan expressed his surprise just right; he did not want anyone to discover that the Blue Star Sea was already in his possession. It was necessary for him to act surprised.
lín xuān qià dào hǎo chù de fā chū jīng tàn zhī sè ， tā kě bù gǎn ràng rén fā xiàn ， lán sè xīng hǎi yǐ shì zì jǐ de náng zhōng wù ， shì dàng de biǎo shì jīng yà shì bì xū de 。
林轩恰到好处的发出惊叹之色，他可不敢让人发现，蓝色星海已是自己的囊中物，适当的表示惊讶是必须的。
"Not wrong," Snow Spirit continued without hesitation, "After obtaining this treasure, the Divine Witch Goddess was naturally very happy and no longer had any interest in traveling far away. She returned to the Spiritual Plane."
xuě líng bù yí yǒu tā ， wěi wěi de shēng yīn jì xù chuán rù ěr duǒ ：“ dé dào le lán sè xīng hǎi zhè jiàn bǎo wù ， tiān wū shén nǚ zì rán shì jí wéi gāo xìng de ， yě wú xīn yuǎn yóu ， chóng xīn huí dào le líng jiè zhī zhōng 。”
雪灵不疑有他，娓娓的声音继续传入耳朵：“得到了蓝色星海这件宝物，天巫神女自然是极为高兴的，也无心远游，重新回到了灵界之中。”
"Back then, our Mo Yue Clan celebrated with great joy. With this treasure, medicinal pills or materials would no longer be obstacles on the path of cultivation. The Divine Witch Goddess and several senior elders from our clan could advance their cultivation further, ascend to immortality, and become Immortals. With their protection, the strength of our Mo Yue Clan was just around the corner. Looking at a million planes, there were no forces that could match us."
“ ó ？”
“哦？”
Snow Spirit's voice continued as she spoke.
“ dāng shí ， wǒ mò yuè zú shàng xià ， dōu huān téng yǐ jí ， dé dào le zhè jiàn bǎo wù ， cóng cǐ dān yào yě hǎo ， cái liào yě bà ， dōu bú huì chéng wéi xiū xiān lù shàng de chè zhǒu ， tiān wū shén nǚ ， hái yǒu zú zhōng de jǐ wèi tài shàng zhǎng lǎo dōu yǒu wàng xiū wèi zài jìn yí bù ， jǔ xiá fēi shēng ， chéng wéi xiān rén ， ér yǒu le tā men de bì hù ， wǒ mò yuè zú de qiáng dà yě jiù zhǐ rì kě dài le ， fàng yǎn qiān wàn jiè miàn ， yě méi yǒu shì lì néng gòu pǐ dí 。”
“当时，我墨月族上下，都欢腾以极，得到了这件宝物，从此丹药也好，材料也罢，都不会成为修仙路上的掣肘，天巫神女，还有族中的几位太上长老都有望修为再进一步，举霞飞升，成为仙人，而有了他们的庇护，我墨月族的强大也就指日可待了，放眼千万界面，也没有势力能够匹敌。”
Lin Xuan's expression turned even more astonished: "What you're saying is that, with this treasure in hand, the Divine Witch Goddess did not think of keeping it but instead made everyone aware of its existence?"
xuě líng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ lǐ ， lín xuān de biǎo qíng què shí fēn chà yì ：“ nǐ shuō shén me ， dé dào zhè jiàn bǎo wù ， tiān wū shén nǚ méi yǒu xiǎng zhe bǎo wù ， jū rán nòng dé rén jǐn jiē zhī ？”
雪灵的声音传入耳朵里，林轩的表情却十分诧异：“你说什么，得到这件宝物，天巫神女没有想着宝物，居然弄得人尽皆知？”
"Not wrong. We indeed underestimated things back then," Snow Spirit sighed and admitted, "The Mo Yue Clan was indeed very united, but as a clan with millions of people, it's impossible to keep secrets. The result was that the secret leaked out."
“ bù cuò ， wǒ men dāng shí ， què shí yǒu qiàn kǎo lǜ 。”
“不错，我们当时，确实有欠考虑。”
Lin Xuan found this rather foolish.
xuě líng tàn le kǒu qì ， bù dé bù chéng rèn zhè jiàn shì qíng ， tā men chǔ lǐ dé tài cǎo shuài le yī xiē ：“ mò yuè zú hěn tuán jié méi cuò ， rán ér rén kǒu shàng qiān wàn de dà zú ， rén duō kǒu zá ， zěn me kě néng bǎo cún mì mì ， jié guǒ zǒu lòu le chū qù 。”
雪灵叹了口气，不得不承认这件事情，他们处理得太草率了一些：“墨月族很团结没错，然而人口上千万的大族，人多口杂，怎么可能保存秘密，结果走漏了出去。”
It didn't matter what happened; the saying went, 'A man without sin bears the guilt for his wealth.' Such an extraordinary treasure would certainly attract countless powerful beings, even if it were in the hands of King Asura.
lín xuān tīng dé yī zhèn wú yǔ ， zhè ge cuò wù fàn dé wèi miǎn tài yú chǔn le yī xiē 。
林轩听得一阵无语，这个错误犯得未免太愚蠢了一些。
Although the Divine Witch Goddess was not weak, her confidence to retain such a treasure after news had leaked out was overconfident. It was like a dreamer's fantasy; the Blue Star Sea did not help him achieve immortality but instead brought endless troubles and dangers. The Divine Witch Goddess and the Mo Yue Clan could not avoid being entangled in these endless problems.
jié guǒ bù yòng tí ， sú huà shuō ， pǐ fū wú zuì ， huái bì qí zuì ， zhè yàng nì tiān jí bié de bǎo wù ， jiù suàn shì ā xiū luó wáng ná zài shǒu lǐ ， kěn dìng yě huì yǐn lái wú shù qiáng zhě de jì yú 。
结果不用提，俗话说，匹夫无罪，怀璧其罪，这样逆天级别的宝物，就算是阿修罗王拿在手里，肯定也会引来无数强者的觊觎。
The Blue Star Sea was a fuse, and who wouldn't want to possess such a treasure? Apart from various powerful beings within the Spiritual Plane, those from nearby planes also rushed over one after another.
tiān wū shén nǚ suī rán shí lì bù sú ， dàn zài xiāo xī yǐ jīng xiè lòu de qíng kuàng xià ， hái xiǎng yào liú zhù zhè jiàn bǎo wù ， wú yí shì tài zì xìn le 。
天巫神女虽然实力不俗，但在消息已经泄露的情况下，还想要留住这件宝物，无疑是太自信了。
Back then, although the Mo Yue Clan was very prosperous with many experts emerging, good people couldn't withstand too much pressure. Being the target of everyone's arrows wasn't pleasant at all.
shuō chī rén shuō mèng yě bù wèi guò ， lán sè xīng hǎi ， bù jǐn méi néng ràng tā huà yǔ dēng xiān ， fǎn ér zhāo lái liǎo wú qióng de huò huàn ， tiān wū shén nǚ yě hǎo ， mò yuè zú yě bà ， dōu wú fǎ bì miǎn ， bèi juǎn rù liǎo wú qióng de má fán yǔ wēi xiǎn 。
说痴人说梦也不为过，蓝色星海，不仅没能让他化羽登仙，反而招来了无穷的祸患，天巫神女也好，墨月族也罢，都无法避免，被卷入了无穷的麻烦与危险。
Finally, even the mysterious Outer Plane Demons came.
lán sè xīng hǎi shì yí gè dǎo huǒ suǒ ， zhè yàng de bǎo wù shuí bù xiǎng jù wéi jǐ yǒu ne ， líng jiè gè wèi shén tōng guǎng dà de cún zài bú yòng shuō ， fù jìn jiè miàn de qiáng zhě yě jiē èr lián sān de gǎn guò lái le 。
蓝色星海是一个导火索，这样的宝物谁不想据为己有呢，灵界各位神通广大的存在不用说，附近界面的强者也接二连三的赶过来了。
"Ah, I see."
nà shí hòu ， mò yuè zú suī shí fēn fán róng ， gāo shǒu bèi chū ， rán ér hǎo hàn jià bú zhù rén duō ， dàn zhòng shǐ zhī dì de zī wèi ér kě bù hǎo guò 。
那时候，墨月族虽十分繁荣，高手辈出，然而好汉架不住人多，但众矢之的的滋味儿可不好过。
Lin Xuan finally understood the entire situation, but his doubts were more numerous: "In that case, the Mo Yue Clan was indeed in a terrible situation. However, since they knew about 'guilt for wealth,' why didn't you guys throw this hot potato out?"
zuì hòu ， shèn zhì lián shén mì de yù wài tiān mó dōu gǎn guò lái le 。
最后，甚至连神秘的域外天魔都赶过来了。
The Mo Yue Clan made everyone aware of their possession of such an extraordinary treasure; it was undoubtedly a foolish thing to do. But that was just one mistake among many. The clan had its wise and intelligent people; Lin Xuan did not believe they would come up with such a simple solution in that situation.
“ yuán lái rú cǐ 。”
“原来如此。”
Although the loss of the Blue Star Sea was regrettable, under these circumstances, they needed the courage to cut off their own arm.
lín xuān zǒng suàn le jiě liǎo shì qíng de shǐ mò ， rán ér xīn zhōng de yí wèn què gèng duō ：“ nà zhǒng qíng kuàng xià ， mò yuè zú de chǔ jìng shì hěn zāo gāo méi cuò ， rán ér jì rán zhī dào pǐ fū wú zuì ， huái bì qí zuì ， gè dà jiè miàn de qiáng zhě ， yǐ shì chōng zhe lán sè xīng hǎi lái de ， nǐ men wèi shén me bù jiāng zhè tàng shǒu de shān yù rēng chū qù ne ？”
林轩总算了解了事情的始末，然而心中的疑问却更多：“那种情况下，墨月族的处境是很糟糕没错，然而既然知道匹夫无罪，怀璧其罪，各大界面的强者，已是冲着蓝色星海来的，你们为什么不将这烫手的山芋扔出去呢？”
The Divine Witch Goddess was a genius; she wouldn't fail to understand this simple truth.
mò yuè zú jiāng yōng yǒu bǎo wù nòng dé rén jǐn jiē zhī ， suī rán shì zuò le yī jiàn hěn yú chǔn de shì ， rán ér nà bù guò shì zhì zhě qiān lǜ bì yǒu yī shī ， gāi zú bù fá cái zhì zhī shì ， lín xuān bù xiāng xìn ， nà zhǒng qíng kuàng xià ， tā men huì xiǎng bù chū rú cǐ jiǎn dān de jiě jué fāng fǎ 。
墨月族将拥有宝物弄得人尽皆知，虽然是做了一件很愚蠢的事，然而那不过是智者千虑必有一失，该族不乏才智之士，林轩不相信，那种情况下，他们会想不出如此简单的解决方法。
"Young Master said it correctly; in that case, abandoning the Blue Star Sea is the only choice. However, the problem is that the treasure has already disappeared. Even if we wanted to discard this hot potato, we couldn't do so."
suī rán shě qì lán sè xīng hǎi hěn kě xī ， dàn zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng xià ， tā men xū yào zhuàng shì duàn wàn de yǒng qì 。
虽然舍弃蓝色星海很可惜，但这种情况下，他们需要壮士断腕的勇气。
"Why would it disappear?"
tiān wū shén nǚ yí dài rén jié ， zhè me jiǎn dān de dào lǐ ， tā bú huì xiǎng bù míng bái 。
天巫神女一代人杰，这么简单的道理，她不会想不明白。
Lin Xuan found this increasingly intriguing.
“ shǎo zhǔ shuō dé bù cuò ， nà zhǒng qíng kuàng xià ， shě qì lán sè xīng hǎi shì wéi yī de xuǎn zé ， kě wèn tí shì ， zhè jiàn bǎo bèi yǐ jīng bú jiàn le ， wǒ men jí biàn xiǎng yào diū qì tàng shǒu de shān yù ， yě zuò bú dào le 。”
“少主说得不错，那种情况下，舍弃蓝色星海是唯一的选择，可问题是，这件宝贝已经不见了，我们即便想要丢弃烫手的山芋，也做不到了。”
"The Blue Star Sea is too mysterious and closely related to our clan's fate. Therefore, although it was discovered by the Divine Witch Goddess, under those circumstances, it did not remain in her hands but was enshrined in our clan's most important forbidden area."
“ bú jiàn ， zěn me huì bú jiàn ？”
“不见，怎么会不见？”
"Mo Yue Clan's most important forbidden area?"
lín xuān yuè tīng yuè jué de xī qí 。
林轩越听越觉得稀奇。
"Yes, guarded by the High Priestess, the Divine Witch Goddess, and several senior elders."
“ lán sè xīng hǎi tài shén qí ， yǔ běn zú de mìng yùn qián tú dà yǒu guān xì ， suǒ yǐ tā suī shì tiān wū shén nǚ fā xiàn de ， nà zhǒng qíng kuàng xià ， què bìng méi yǒu liú zài tiān wū shén nǚ de shǒu lǐ ， ér shì bèi gòng fèng zài le běn zú zuì zhòng yào de jìn dì 。”
“蓝色星海太神奇，与本族的命运前途大有关系，所以它虽是天巫神女发现的，那种情况下，却并没有留在天巫神女的手里，而是被供奉在了本族最重要的禁地。”
"This is indeed a wise choice. But could it be that there was an issue with those guarding the altar?"
“ mò yuè zú zuì zhòng yào de jìn dì ？”
“墨月族最重要的禁地？”
Lin Xuan sighed; although the Divine Witch Goddess was highly knowledgeable, in such a situation where she had become the target of everyone's arrows, it would not be appropriate to keep the treasure elsewhere. The target was too obvious, and having several experts from the clan guard it together would have been more secure. However, by the sound of it, there seemed to be an issue with this step.
“ bù cuò ， jì tán ， yóu dà jì sī ， tiān wū shén nǚ ， hái yǒu jǐ wèi tài shàng zhǎng lǎo gòng tóng kān guǎn 。”
“不错，祭坛，由大祭司，天巫神女，还有几位太上长老共同看管。”
"Young Master said it correctly; originally, the altar had strict defenses with countless experts. As long as our clan's defense wasn't breached directly, enemies would find it difficult to sneak in. But that was just a general situation. We overlooked the Outer Plane Demons."
“ zhè yě suàn shì yí gè míng zhì de xuǎn zé ， kě nán dào shì kān shǒu jì tán de rén ， què chū le wèn tí me ？”
“这也算是一个明智的选择，可难道是看守祭坛的人，却出了问题么？”
"Hmm, those fellows' powers are indeed strange. Ordinary protective measures might not work on them," Lin Xuan sighed; he had already had two experiences with the Outer Plane Demons, so his understanding of their abilities was not entirely unfamiliar.
lín xuān tàn xī zhe shuō ， tiān wū shén nǚ shén tōng bù sú ， dàn yǐ jīng chéng wéi zhòng shǐ zhī dì de qíng kuàng xià ， què shì bù yí jiāng bǎo wù fàng zài tā chù ， mù biāo tài míng xiǎn le ， yóu zú zhōng jǐ wèi gāo shǒu gòng tóng bǎo guǎn yào wěn tuǒ yī xiē ， kě tīng duì fāng de kǒu qì ， què shì zài zhè ge huán jié ， chū le wèn tí 。
林轩叹息着说，天巫神女神通不俗，但已经成为众矢之的的情况下，却是不宜将宝物放在她处，目标太明显了，由族中几位高手共同保管要稳妥一些，可听对方的口气，却是在这个环节，出了问题。
"Yes, these hateful creatures have forms vastly different from other powerful beings across various planes. Some are even just a demonic consciousness that can penetrate everywhere, making it hard to guard against them." Speaking of the Outer Plane Demons, Snow Spirit's expression turned agitated as she clenched her teeth: "As Young Master said, ordinary defenses would be useless for them. Several demon lords潜入，其中更有一个外域魔君级别的存在."
“ shǎo zhǔ suǒ yán bù cuò ， yuán běn jì tán shǒu wèi sēn yán ， gāo shǒu wú shù ， zhǐ yào běn zú de fáng yù bú shì bèi zhèng miàn gōng pò ， dí rén shì hěn nán qián jìn lái ， kě nà shì jiù yì bān qíng kuàng lái shuō ， wǒ men hū shì le yù wài tiān mó 。”
“少主所言不错，原本祭坛守卫森严，高手无数，只要本族的防御不是被正面攻破，敌人是很难潜进来，可那是就一般情况来说，我们忽视了域外天魔。”
"Really? An outer domain demon lord?"
“ ń ， nà xiē jiā huo de shén tōng què shí guǐ yì ， yì bān de fáng hù shǒu duàn ， duì tā men wèi bì yǒu yòng tú 。”
“嗯，那些家伙的神通确实诡异，一般的防护手段，对他们未必有用途。”
Lin Xuan was shocked; the Outer Plane Demons were divided into different levels of strength, but Lin Xuan did not know how they were classified. The strongest one had a name: the Outer Domain Demon Lord. He heard that their power was extraordinary and could possess even true immortals if they caught them by chance. Such an existence actually taking action explained why the Mo Yue Clan's treasure was stolen.
lín xuān tàn le yì kǒu qì de shuō ， tā yǔ yù wài tiān mó qián hòu yǐ yǒu liǎng cì jiāo shǒu jīng yàn ， bù shuō liǎo jiě dé fēi cháng qīng chǔ ， dàn yǒu cǐ gǎn tàn ， yě shì háo bù zú qí de 。
林轩叹了一口气的说，他与域外天魔前后已有两次交手经验，不说了解得非常清楚，但有此感叹，也是毫不足奇的。
Although he already had some idea, Lin Xuan still wanted to hear more details: "Please continue."
"Madam, I dare not deceive the Young Master. How come there are only two parallel planes left now?"
Snow Spirit said with a look of astonishment on her face.
"Not wrong."
Lin Xuan rubbed his forehead, and for a moment, the two were speechless. However, Lin Xuan did not dwell on this issue for long; he believed that the other party would not lie to him. But it was undeniable that the three planes were now perfectly aligned.
