bsp; lín xuān shēn qián zé duō chū yī quán tou dà xiǎo de bǎo wù ， xíng sì yuán zhū ， sàn fà chū yōu shēn de guāng zé 。
bsp; 林轩身前则多出一拳头大小的宝物，形似圆珠，散发出幽深的光泽。
Lin Xuan stood before a treasure, about the size of a fist, shaped like a round pearl and emitting an enigmatic glow.
yī yǎn wàng qù ， gěi rén de gǎn jué jìng shì shēn bú jiàn dǐ 。
一眼望去，给人的感觉竟似深不见底。
At first glance, it seemed as deep as a bottomless pit.
bú yòng shuō ， zì rán shì tā yòng fǎ shù shōu qǔ de líng yǎn zhī hú 。
不用说，自然是他用法术收取的灵眼之湖。
Of course, this was the Spirit Eye Lake he had obtained using his magical technique.
lín xuān xiù páo yī fú ， yī sì sì fāng fāng de yù hé fēi lüè ér chū 。
林轩袖袍一拂，一四四方方的玉盒飞掠而出。
With a wave of his sleeve, a jade box appeared in front of him. He flicked his fingers lightly, and with a "snap," the lid opened. A white light enveloped the shrunken Spirit Eye Lake before it vanished into the jade box.
suí hòu qū zhǐ wēi dàn ， hé gài “ pā ” de yī shēng dǎ kāi ， yī dào bái sè de guāng xiá xí juǎn ， jiāng suō xiǎo hòu de líng yǎn zhī hú bāo guǒ ， suí hòu háo wú xuán niàn de shōu rù le yù hé 。
随后屈指微弹，盒盖“啪”的一声打开，一道白sè的光霞席卷，将缩小后的灵眼之湖包裹，随后毫无悬念的收入了玉盒。
Lin Xuan's face showed satisfaction as he waved his sleeve again to secure the box, then transformed into a streak of lightning flying away towards the distance.
lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū mǎn yì zhī sè， xiù páo yī shuǎi ， jiāng yù hé juǎn zhù ， suí hòu huà wèi yī dào jīng hóng xiàng yuǎn fāng fēi qù le 。
林轩脸上露出满意之sè，袖袍一甩，将玉盒卷住，随后化为一道惊虹像远方飞去了。
...
……
……
Lin Xuan did not rush back to his cave dwelling immediately. Although he had planned to leave the lost plane, setting up the Xiao Yu乾坤阵 required time. As the saying went, impatience gets you nowhere. Such complex ancient arrays could not be completed in one fell swoop.
lín xuān bìng méi yǒu jí zhe gǎn huí dòng fǔ 。
林轩并没有急着赶回洞府。
This was clear to Lin Xuan, so he wasn't overly anxious. Over the next few years, Lin Xuan frequently appeared in various markets on this plane. Whether it was human, demon, or yin spirit territories, his footsteps had left traces everywhere.
suī rán tā yǐ dǎ suàn lí kāi shī luò de jiè miàn ， rán ér xiǎo xū yú qián kūn zhèn de bù zhì xū yào shí jiān ， sú huà shuō xīn jí chī bù liǎo rè dòu fǔ ， zhè yàng fán fù de shàng gǔ zhèn fǎ xiǎng yào wán chéng ， zì rán bù kě néng yí cù ér jiù 。
虽然他已打算离开失落的界面，然而小须臾乾坤阵的布置需要时间，俗话说心急吃不了热豆腐，这样繁复的上古阵法想要完成，自然不可能一蹴而就。
His spending was extravagant; with such a rich background and abundant crystal stones, he had reached a level that ordinary cultivators could hardly imagine.
zhè dào lǐ lín xuān xīn zhōng yǒu shù ， suǒ yǐ tā ” ” dào bìng bù zháo jí 。
这道理林轩心中有数，所以他 ” ” 倒并不着急。
With the imminent departure from here, Lin Xuan's goal was to acquire some unique treasures specific to this lost plane. Anything he deemed valuable—be it materials or finished magical artifacts, or rare elixirs—he would buy in large quantities without hesitation.
yú shì jiē xià lái de shù nián lǐ ， lín xuān pín fán chū mò yú gāi jiè miàn de gè dà fāng shì 。
于是接下来的数年里，林轩频繁出没于该界面的各大坊市。
Of course, while his spending was generous, he also understood that such a frenzied search for precious items could attract attention. Thus, every time, he used the technique of transforming his appearance to assume different forms—sometimes as a stout old man, sometimes as a burly giant. Each disguise was unique.
bù guǎn shì rén zú 、 mó zú 、 hái shì yīn hún guǐ wù de shì lì fàn wéi ， dōu liú xià le lín xuān de zú jì 。
不管是人族、魔族、还是yīn魂鬼物的势力范围，都留下了林轩的足迹。
To be fair, Lin Xuan had been quite careful. However, there is no such thing as perfect secrecy in this world, especially not among cultivators with countless strange talents. Although Lin Xuan's transformation technique was indeed miraculous, it inevitably left some telltale signs.
ér lín xuān chū shǒu ， yě dà fāng yǐ jí ， fǎn zhèng yǐ tā shēn jiā zhī fēng hòu ， jīng shí zhī duō ， yǐ dào le lìng pǔ tōng xiū shì nán yǐ xiǎng xiàng de dì bù 。
而林轩出手，也大方以极，反正以他身家之丰厚，晶石之多，已到了令普通修士难以想象的地步。
...
bù jiǔ hòu zì jǐ jiù yào lí kāi zhè lǐ ， lín xuān de mù biāo zì rán shì shī luò de jiè miàn suǒ tè yǒu de yī xiē bǎo wù 。
不久后自己就要离开这里，林轩的目标自然是失落的界面所特有的一些宝物。
This was an endless desert, nothing but yellow sand and low shrubs.
zhǐ yào bèi tā kàn shàng le ， bù lùn shì cái liào hái shì chéng pǐn fǎ bǎo ， huò zhě shì zhēn xī dān yào ， yě bù guǎn jià gé rú hé ， dōu xiān dà shǒu bǐ de mǎi guò lái zài shuō 。
只要被他看上了，不论是材料还是成品法宝，或者是珍稀丹药，也不管价格如何，都先大手笔的买过来再说。
Lin Xuan was surrounded by dozens of cultivators.
dāng rán ， lín xuān chū shǒu gù rán háo kuò ， dàn yě míng bái ， zì jǐ zhè yàng dà sì sōu luó qí zhēn yì bǎo ， hěn róng yì yǐn rén zhù mù ， gù ér tā měi yī cì dōu shī zhǎn nǐ róng huà xíng zhī shù ， yǒu shí hòu bàn chéng ǎi pàng lǎo zhě ， yǒu shí hòu bàn chéng cū háo dà hàn ， měi yī cì de xíng mào dōu gè bù xiāng tóng 。
当然，林轩出手固然豪阔，但也明白，自己这样大肆搜罗奇珍异宝，很容易引人注目，故而他每一次都施展拟容化形之术，有时候扮成矮胖老者，有时候扮成粗豪大汉，每一次的形貌都各不相同。
These cultivators wore black battle armor, exuding a heavy yin energy, clearly not human cultivators but yin spirit ghosts. Most were at the Separation or Profound Origin stages, with a few towering figures being at the Spirit Transformation level.
píng xīn lái shuō 。 lín xuān yǐ hěn xiǎo xīn le 。 rán ér tiān xià wú bù tòu fēng de qiáng ， xiū xiān jiè qí rén yì shì gèng shì wú shù ， lín xuān de nǐ róng huà xíng zhī shù gù rán . . ”” shén qí ， zǒng hái shì yǒu lù chū mǎ jiǎo de yī kè 。
平心来说。林轩已很小心了。然而天下无不透风的墙，修仙界奇人异士更是无数，林轩的拟容化形之术固然. . ””神奇，总还是有露出马脚的一刻。
But the most terrifying part was yet to come.
……
……
The two leaders were a man and a woman. The man on the left was exceptionally tall, rugged in appearance, and his heavy armor suggested he was a formidable warrior.
zhè ér shì yí wàng wú jì de huāng mò 。
这儿是一望无际的荒漠。
On the right stood a young woman of about twenty, with a beautiful face and petite figure, dressed in dark robes.
chú le màn tiān de huáng shā ， jiù zhǐ yǒu yī xiē dī ǎi de guàn mù lèi zhí wù 。
除了漫天的黄沙，就只有一些低矮的灌木类植物。
Though their appearances differed, the spiritual pressure they emitted was equally formidable—both were at the Tribulation Transcendence stage!
lín xuān bèi shù shí míng xiū shì tuán tuán wéi zhù 。
林轩被数十名修士团团围住。
Lin Xuan's expression turned gloomy, but the yin spirit ghosts weren't much better. The two leaders didn't speak, but their expressions of surprise and doubt betrayed them.
zhè xiē xiū shì yí gè gè shēn pī hēi sè zhàn jiǎ ， hún shēn shàng xià yīn qì pēn bó ， xiǎn rán bú shì rén zú de xiū xiān zhě 。 ér shì yīn sī guǐ wù 。
这些修士一个个身披黑sè战甲，浑身上下yīn气喷薄，显然不是人族的修仙者。而是yīn司鬼物。
It was clear that these were high-ranking generals under the Dark King of Hell.
qí zhōng yǐ lí hé ， dòng xuán jí bié de jū duō ， yě yǒu jǐ míng shēn cái gāo dà de jiā huo shì fēn shén jí bié de guǐ wù 。
其中以离合，洞玄级别的居多，也有几名身材高大的家伙是分神级别的鬼物。
Lin Xuan’s identity had been exposed, and he was finally caught here.
rán ér zhè hái bú shì zuì kě pà de 。
然而这还不是最可怕的。
However, the two tribulation cultivators were troubled. Although the Dark King said the cunning little guy who stole the Immortal Binding Ring was extremely clever, his cultivation level should have been at the Spirit Transformation stage. But before their eyes stood Lin Xuan, clearly a Tribulation Transcendence existence.
wéi shǒu de liǎng gè jiā huo ， shì yī nán yī nǚ 。
为首的两个家伙，是一男一女。
Had he really advanced in just a hundred years?
zuǒ shǒu biān de nán zi ， shēn cái gāo dà yǐ jí ， xiàng mào cū lǔ 。 shēn shàng kǎi jiǎ ， gèng shì hòu zhòng yǐ jí ， yī kàn jiù shì měng jiàng jí bié de rén wù 。
左手边的男子，身材高大以极，相貌粗鲁。身上铠甲，更是厚重以极，一看就是猛将级别的人物。
The two were inwardly groaning. According to what they had heard from the Dark King, this young man's strength far exceeded that of his peers by a significant margin and carried numerous powerful treasures. The Dark King’s avatar had even been destroyed by him.
ér yòu biān de nǚ zǐ ， zé èr shí yú suì nián jì ， róng mào xiù lì ， shēn xíng jiāo xiǎo wú bǐ ， yī shēn gōng zhuāng ， yě shì zuò qī hēi yán sè dì 。” bǎi liàn chéng xiān dì sān qiān líng bā shí zhāng xiá lù xiāng féng ” zhè liǎng rén xíng mào suī gè bù xiāng tóng 。 dàn shēn shàng sàn fà chū lái de líng yā què shì yī yàng de fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。 jū rán quán shì dù jié jí bié de lǎo guài wù ！
而右边的女子，则二十余岁年纪，容貌秀丽，身形娇小无比，一身宫装，也是做漆黑颜sè地。”百炼成仙 第三千零八十章 狭路相逢”这两人形貌虽各不相同。但身上散发出来的灵压却是一样的非同小可。居然全是渡劫级别的老怪物！
They could face each other with confidence if it was just two of them, but now that he had advanced, their combined strength might not be enough to defeat him.
lín xuān liǎn shàng mǎn shì yù mèn zhī sè， rán ér duì miàn de yīn hún guǐ wù 。 yě hǎo bù liǎo tài duō ， wéi shǒu de liǎng gè suī rán méi yǒu shuō huà ， dàn liǎn shàng nà jīng yí bù dìng de biǎo qíng shì piàn bù liǎo rén de 。
林轩脸上满是郁闷之sè，然而对面的yīn魂鬼物。也好不了太多，为首的两个虽然没有说话，但脸上那惊疑不定的表情是骗不了人的。
With the odds stacked against them, retreating seemed like the best option, but they dared not do so; otherwise, the Dark King would unleash his wrath upon them.
bú yòng shuō ， zhè liǎng gè jiā huo ， shì yōu míng àn wáng shǒu xià de dà jiàng le 。
不用说，这两个家伙，是幽冥暗王手下的大将了。
Now, caught between a rock and a hard place, was the most accurate description of their situation.
lín xuān de shēn fèn bào lù ， zhōng yú zài zhè ér bèi tā men gěi jié xià le 。
林轩的身份暴露，终于在这儿被他们给截下了。
On the other hand, Lin Xuan had no interest in wasting time here. Two tribulation cultivators were manageable, but if he delayed too long, the Dark King might personally arrive, leaving him with nowhere to run.
rán ér liǎng míng dù jié jí bié de guǐ wù què xīn zhōng dí gū ， dà wáng céng shuō ， nà qiǎng zǒu kǔn xiān huán de xiǎo jiā huo suī rán jiǎo huá wú bǐ ， dàn xiū wèi míng míng shì fēn shén qī ， kě yǎn qián de lín xuān ， què shì dù jié jí bié de cún zài wú yí 。
然而两名渡劫级别的鬼物却心中嘀咕，大王曾说，那抢走捆仙环的小家伙虽然狡猾无比，但修为明明是分神期，可眼前的林轩，却是渡劫级别的存在无疑。
Although Lin Xuan’s abilities were formidable, facing such an old monster still left him without a chance of victory.
cái duǎn duǎn de bǎi nián guò qù ， nán dào tā yǐ tū pò jìn jí ？
才短短的百年过去，难道他已突破晋级？
A swift resolution was his best choice.
liǎng rén xīn zhōng àn àn jiào kǔ ， cóng dà wáng kǒu zhōng tīng dé ， yǎn qián zhè lín xiǎo zi de shí lì yuǎn chāo tóng jiē cún zài xǔ duō ， shēn shàng hái huái yǒu bù shǎo wēi lì dà dé chū qí de bǎo wù ， dà wáng de huà shēn dōu céng jīng bèi tā miè chú 。
两人心中暗暗叫苦，从大王口中听得，眼前这林小子的实力远超同阶存在许多，身上还怀有不少威力大得出奇的宝物，大王的化身都曾经被他灭除。
With a wave of his sleeve, spiritual light radiated out as the Nine Palaces Must臾 Sword Fish emerged.
liǎng rén lián shǒu ， yuán běn dào yě bù jù ， rán ér zhè jiā huo rú jīn yǐ ” bǎi liàn chéng xiān ” jīng jìn jí ， shí lì tū fēi měng jìn shì yí dìng dì ， rú cǐ yī lái ， zì jǐ zhè biān suī rán rén duō ， dàn dǎ bù dǎ dé guò ， què yī jiù chéng le wèi zhī zhī shù 。
两人联手，原本倒也不惧，然而这家伙如今已”百炼成仙”经晋级，实力突飞猛进是一定地，如此一来，自己这边虽然人多，但打不打得过，却依旧成了未知之数。
Raising another hand, he heard the clear ringing sound as the Vermilion Bird's shadow appeared in mid-air.
liǎng rén xīn zhōng dǎ gǔ ， jiù cǐ tuì qù sì hū shì zuì jiā xuǎn zé ， rán ér tā men bù gǎn nà me zuò ， fǒu zé lín zhèn tuō táo ， dà wáng yí dàn xiǎo de ， tā men kě chéng shòu bù qǐ nà léi tíng zhī nù 。
两人心中打鼓，就此退去似乎是最佳选择，然而他们不敢那么做，否则临阵脱逃，大王一旦晓得，他们可承受不起那雷霆之怒。
But that wasn't all. He flicked both hands rapidly, casting dazzling multicolored lights. Various shapes of magical weapons—swords, spears, halberds—appeared one after another.
rú jīn qí hǔ nán xià chéng le zuì wèi tiē qiè de xíng róng 。
如今骑虎难下成了最为贴切的形容。
With a loud shout, his two hands converged, and a golden light point formed behind him, quickly condensing into the form of a nine-headed eighteen-armed golden body.
lìng yī biān ， lín xuān què méi yǒu xìng qù zài zhè ér jiāng shí jiān xiāo mó ， jǐn jǐn shì liǎng míng dù jié chū qī de yīn hún guǐ wù ， zì jǐ hái kě yǐ yìng fù ， dàn ruò shì dān gē jiǔ le ， rě dé yōu míng àn wáng qīn zì lái dào cǐ chù ， zì jǐ kě jiù yào chī bù liǎo dōu zhe zǒu le 。
另一边，林轩却没有兴趣在这儿将时间消磨，仅仅是两名渡劫初期的yīn魂鬼物，自己还可以应付，但若是耽搁久了，惹得幽冥暗王亲自来到此处，自己可就要吃不了兜着走了。
Following this, the sound of insects grew louder as thousands of jade net bees were released.
lín xuān shén tōng suī rán bù sú ， dàn miàn duì nà ge děng jí de lǎo guài wù ， yī jiù shì fēn háo shèng suàn yě wú 。
林轩神通虽然不俗，但面对那个等级的老怪物，依旧是分毫胜算也无。
Lin Xuan opened his mouth to release Illusory Heavenly Fire, blindingly bright.
sù zhàn sù jué chéng le zuì hǎo de xuǎn zé 。
速战速决成了最好的选择。
With no hesitation, Lin Xuan unleashed everything he had.
lín xuān xiù páo yī fú ， líng guāng sì shè， jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn yú yóu ér chū 。
林轩袖袍一拂，灵光四shè，九宫须臾剑鱼游而出。
The yin spirit ghosts' faces turned pale as they quickly cast out their treasures in response.
lìng yī zhī shǒu yī tái ， liáo liàng de qīng míng shēng chuán rù ěr biān ， zhū què de xū yǐng zài bàn kōng zhōng fú xiàn 。
另一只手一抬，嘹亮的清鸣声传入耳边，朱雀的虚影在半空中浮现。
Spiritual light flashed everywhere, yin energy surged, and magical weapon beams interwove in the air...
ér zhè hái méi yǒu wán 。” yú lè xiù ” zhǐ jiàn tā shuāng shǒu lián dàn ， wǔ yán liù sè de líng guāng lìng rén yǎn huā liáo luàn ， dāo qiāng jiàn jǐ ， lín xuān jì chū le gè zhǒng xíng zhuàng de fǎ bǎo bīng qì 。
而这还没有完。”娱乐秀”只见他双手连弹，五颜六sè的灵光令人眼花缭乱，刀枪剑戟，林轩祭出了各种形状的法宝兵器。
...
suí hòu yī shēng dà hē ， liǎng zhǐ shǒu wǎng zhōng jiān yī hé ， bèi hòu chū xiàn yì diǎn jīn máng ， xùn jí yì cháng de níng jié chū jiǔ tóu shí bā bì de jīn shēn fǎ xiàng 。
随后一声大喝，两只手往中间一合，背后出现一点金芒，迅疾异常的凝结出九头十八臂的金身法相。
Few knew the outcome of this battle, but only the Dark King was both furious and anxious.
jiē zhe chóng míng shēng dà zuò ， shù qiān zhǐ yù luó fēng yǐ bèi lín xuān fàng chū 。
接着虫鸣声大做，数千只玉罗蜂已被林轩放出。
After a hundred years of effort, he finally found clues about that young man, who had advanced to Tribulation Transcendence cultivation within such a short time.
ér tā zhāng zuǐ yī tǔ ， huàn líng tiān huǒ yào yǎn duó mù 。
而他张嘴一吐，幻灵天火耀眼夺目。
With great difficulty, his two generals managed to intercept him, but not only did they fail to reclaim the Immortal Binding Ring, they were instead destroyed by him.
bù chū shǒu zé yǐ ， yī chū shǒu lín xuān jiù fēn háo bǎo liú yě wú 。
不出手则已，一出手林轩就分毫保留也无。
A bitter lesson in trying to steal something and losing more. The Dark King was no ordinary figure; he had never experienced such humiliation before.
nà xiē yīn hún guǐ wù jiàn le cǐ jǐng ， liǎn sè dà biàn ， bù jí duō xiǎng de jiāng shǒu zhōng de bǎo wù fēn fēn jì chū 。
那些yīn魂鬼物见了此景，脸sè大变，不及多想的将手中的宝物纷纷祭出。
He could not bear to remain silent and personally set out to find clues about Lin Xuan.
yī shí jiān líng guāng kuáng shǎn ，yīn qì dà zuò ， fǎ bǎo guāng zhù zài bàn kōng zhōng jiāo zhī chuān suō ……
一时间灵光狂闪，yīn气大做，法宝光柱在半空中交织穿梭……
Unfortunately, his efforts proved fruitless.
……
……
Lin Xuan wasn't foolish; under these circumstances, he would not seek any more treasures. Given the situation, avoiding the old man was his only choice—remaining low-key was essential.
zhè yī zhàn de jié guǒ hěn shǎo yǒu rén qīng chǔ ， wéi yǒu yōu míng àn wáng yòu jí yòu nù 。
这一战的结果很少有人清楚，唯有幽冥暗王又急又怒。
Fortunately, in recent times, Lin Xuan had made significant gains in various markets. With time running out, if everything went according to plan, Xiao Yu乾坤阵 should be ready soon.
huā le bǎi nián de xīn kǔ ， zhōng yú zhǎo dào le nà lín xiǎo zi de xiàn suǒ ， rán ér duì fāng zài zhè duǎn duǎn de shí jiān zhōng jū rán zài jìn yí bù ， yě chéng wéi le dù jié jí bié de dà néng xiū xiān zhě 。
花了百年的辛苦，终于找到了那林小子的线索，然而对方在这短短的时间中居然再进一步，也成为了渡劫级别的大能修仙者。
With that in mind, there was no need for hesitation. Lin Xuan took out a flying magical artifact, reduced his cultivation level to the婴 stage, and used the technique of transforming his appearance. Although he could not guarantee complete anonymity, as long as luck held, he should be able to avoid detection.
zì jǐ shǒu xià de liǎng míng dà jiàng fèi le jiǔ niú èr hǔ zhī lì ， cái jiāng nà xiǎo zi lán zhù 。
自己手下的两名大将费了九牛二虎之力，才将那小子拦住。

Lin Xuan stood before a treasure, about the size of a fist, shaped like a round pearl and emitting an enigmatic glow.
At first glance, it seemed as deep as a bottomless pit.
Of course, this was the Spirit Eye Lake he had obtained using his magical technique.
With a wave of his sleeve, a jade box appeared in front of him. He flicked his fingers lightly, and with a "snap," the lid opened. A white light enveloped the shrunken Spirit Eye Lake before it vanished into the jade box.
Lin Xuan's face showed satisfaction as he waved his sleeve again to secure the box, then transformed into a streak of lightning flying away towards the distance.

Of course, while his spending was generous, he also understood that such a frenzied search for precious items could attract attention. Thus, every time, he used the technique of transforming his appearance to assume different forms—sometimes as a stout old man, sometimes as a burly giant. Each disguise was unique.
