bsp; lín xuān yě shì xìng zi jiān yì guǒ jué de rén wù ， jì rán yǐ zuò xià jué zé ， zì rán bú huì yǒu pó pó mā mā yī shuō 。
bsp; 林轩也是xìng子坚毅果决的人物，既然已做下抉择，自然不会有婆婆妈妈一说。
Lin Xuan was a resolute and decisive person. Having made his decision, he naturally wouldn't hesitate or dilly-dally.
shēn shēn hū xī ， dān tián zhōng lán sè xīng hǎi xuán zhuǎn de sù dùn shí kuài le qǐ lái ， cuǐ càn de yín sè guāng diǎn ， jiù rú tiān kōng měi lì yào yǎn de xīng chén yì bān 。
深深呼吸，丹田中蓝sè星海旋转的速顿时快了起来，璀璨的银sè光点，就如天空美丽耀眼的星辰一般。
Taking a deep breath, the blue Star Sea in his dantian began to spin faster. The dazzling silver light points resembled beautiful stars in the sky.
duì shǒu bǐ xiǎng xiàng de nán chán xǔ duō ， lín xuān rú jīn néng xiǎng dào de yī jī dìng qián kūn de bǎo wù jiù zhǐ shèng xià wǔ lóng xǐ zhè ge shā zhe 。
对手比想象的难缠许多，林轩如今能想到的一击定乾坤的宝物就只剩下五龙玺这个杀着。
The opponent proved much more formidable than expected. Lin Xuan could only rely on the Five Dragon Seal as his last resort.
suī rán tā qí tā de shǒu duàn hái yǒu xǔ duō ， dàn zài zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng xià ， bù lùn shì jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn yě hǎo ， hái shì zhū què huán yě bà ， huò zhě huàn líng tiān huǒ ， dōu nán yǐ yǒu yī jī bì shā de xiào guǒ 。 . .
虽然他其他的手段还有许多，但在这种情况下，不论是九宫须臾剑也好，还是朱雀环也罢，或者幻灵天火，都难以有一击必杀的效果。 . .
Although he had many other means at his disposal, under these circumstances, even the Nine Palace Momentary Sword or the Vermilion Bird Ring would be unlikely to achieve a decisive victory. The same went for Illusory Spirit Heaven Fire; they wouldn't guarantee a one-hit kill.
ér tuō dé jiǔ le ， jiù huì chū xiàn biàn shù ， suǒ yǐ lín xuān cái huì xuǎn zé kuài dāo zhǎn luàn má yī tú 。
而拖得久了，就会出现变数，所以林轩才会选择快刀斩乱麻一途。
拖得久了，就会出现变数。 So Lin Xuan chose the path of quick and decisive action. Wavering in such situations was unbecoming of his character.
dāng duàn bù duàn ， fǎn shòu qí luàn ， yǐ lín xuān de xìng gé ， zì rán bú huì fàn zhè yàng de cuò wù 。
当断不断，反受其乱，以林轩的xìng格，自然不会犯这样的错误。
Even though using the Five Dragon Seal would bring its own troubles, this grade of treasure was too powerful. The celestial laws it stirred up were awe-inspiring. A misstep could attract even more formidable opponents. This was why Lin Xuan hesitated to use it until absolutely necessary.
suī rán shǐ yòng wǔ lóng xǐ ， yī yàng huì yǒu má fán 。
虽然使用五龙玺，一样会有麻烦。
But now circumstances had changed. The situation was indeed dire, leaving no room for hesitation. Additionally, being within the Sword Realm meant that the celestial laws here differed from those of the Spirit World, potentially offering a hidden advantage.
zhè zhǒng děng jí de bǎo wù ， wēi lì tài guò páng bó ， yǐn dòng de tiān dì fǎ zé ， gèng dào le lìng rén chù mù jīng xīn de dì bù 。
这种等级的宝物，威力太过磅礴，引动的天地法则，更到了令人触目惊心的地步。
Though Lin Xuan couldn't be certain, he felt at least fifty percent confident in this gamble. Two wrongs made one right, and his opponent wouldn’t give him much time to make such choices.
yí gè bù hǎo ， jiù yǒu kě néng yǐn lái gèng jiā kě pà de qiáng zhě ， zhè yě shì wèi shén me ， bú dào wàn bù dé yǐ ， lín xuān bù yuàn shǐ yòng zhè jiàn bǎo wù 。
一个不好，就有可能引来更加可怕的强者，这也是为什么，不到万不得已，林轩不愿使用这件宝物。
Just moments ago, it had been formless sword intent, but now the opponent was unleashing a series of incantations. The void began to distort as the sky above turned pale white. A small ball of fire appeared.
dàn xiàn zài qíng kuàng bù tóng 。
但现在情况不同。
No, that wasn't fire; though elliptical in shape, it emitted a chilling锐气.
yī lái què shí wēi jí ， yóu bù dé zì jǐ duō zuò yóu yù 。
一来确实危急，由不得自己多做犹豫。
Most cultivators would be stunned by this sight. But an ancient record flashed through Lin Xuan's mind: Sword Soul!
èr lái shēn chù jiàn zhī lǐng yù ， zhè lǐ de tiān dì fǎ zé ， yǔ líng jiè jiǒng yì ， yě xǔ huì yǒu mán tiān guò hǎi de xiào guǒ 。 . .
二来身处剑之领域，这里的天地法则，与灵界迥异，也许会有瞒天过海的效果。 . .
"Could this be the legendary sword soul?"
zhè yì diǎn ， lín xuān suī rán bù gǎn bǎi fēn zhī bǎi kěn dìng shén me ， dàn zhì shǎo yě yǒu wǔ chéng de bǎ wò ， zhè jiù zhí de yī dǔ 。
这一点，林轩虽然不敢百分之百肯定什么，但至少也有五成的把握，这就值得一赌。
Lin Xuan's voice echoed with shock as he looked incredulous.
liǎng quán xiāng hài qǔ qí qīng ， hé kuàng cǐ shí cǐ kè ， duì fāng yě bú huì gěi zì jǐ duō yú de shí jiān qù zuò jué zé 。
两权相害取其轻，何况此时此刻，对方也不会给自己多余的时间去做抉择。
"Hmph, you're not so ignorant after all."
gāng cái bù guò shì wú zhì wú xíng de jiàn yì ， jiù ràng zì jǐ chī le bù xiǎo de kǔ ， cǐ kè duì fāng shuāng shǒu huī wǔ ， què shì yī dào jiē yī dào de fǎ jué bù tíng dǎ chū 。
刚才不过是无质无形的剑意，就让自己吃了不小的苦，此刻对方双手挥舞，却是一道接一道的法诀不停打出。
The opponent sneered at his guess. "Correct, this is precisely the sword soul I condensed."
suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， hùn dùn yī piàn de xū kōng kāi shǐ niǔ qū ， tóu dǐng de tiān jì ， gèng huà wèi le cǎn bái zhī sè。
随着他的动作，混沌一片的虚空开始扭曲，头顶的天际，更化为了惨白之sè。
"Sword Soul!"
suí hòu yī tuán jī dàn dà xiǎo de huǒ yàn fú xiàn ér chū 。
随后一团鸡蛋大小的火焰浮现而出。
Even though Lin Xuan had already recognized it, a hint of doubt lingered in his mind. A sword soul wasn't something ordinary; it took at least ten thousand years for an immortal sword to develop one within a cultivator's dantian using their essence core fire.
bú duì ， nà bú shì huǒ ， suī rán shì tuǒ yuán xíng de shì wù ， dàn què yǒu sēn hán de ruì qì mí sàn ér chū 。
不对，那不是火，虽然是椭圆形的事物，但却有森寒的锐气弥散而出。
This was similar to a spirit artifact but far more powerful than those condensed by postnatal cultivation, as the sword soul naturally derived from the sword itself. However, not every immortal sword could produce such a soul after ten thousand years; there were other conditions and coincidences involved.
ruò huàn yī míng xiū xiān zhě huò xǔ zhēn huì chēng mù jié shé 。 rán ér lín xuān nǎo hǎi zhōng què yǒu yī duàn shàng gǔ de jì zǎi fú xiàn ér chū 。
若换一名修仙者或许真会瞠目结舌。然而林轩脑海中却有一段上古的记载浮现而出。
In any case, a sword with a sword soul would undoubtedly enhance its power significantly.
jiàn hún ！
剑魂！
Lin Xuan's Nine Palace Momentary Sword was undoubtedly one of the top-tier treasures.
“ nán dào zhè shì chuán shuō zhōng de jiàn zhī hún pò ？”
“难道这是传说中的剑之魂魄？”
However, Lin Xuan had only entered the cultivation world for thousands of years. Therefore, even though his sword was incredibly powerful, it lacked a sword soul.
lín xuān hài rán de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。 liǎn shàng mǎn shì bù kě sī yì zhī sè。
林轩骇然的声音传入耳朵。脸上满是不可思议之sè。
This was another regret for Lin Xuan, but he understood that time wouldn't solve everything. While this was true, there was some self-pity in his thoughts, but the logic held.
“ hēng ， xiǎng bú dào nǐ zhè xiǎo jiā huo jiàn shí dào yě bù báo 。”
“哼，想不到你这小家伙见识倒也不薄。”
The opponent was a cultivator who had passed through tribulation and naturally possessed a sword soul. This wasn’t what surprised Lin Xuan; what did was how weak these souls were—mere ordinary treasures at best.
duì fāng tīng le lín xuān de cāi cè ， pí xiào ròu bù xiào de lěng xiào qǐ lái le ：“ méi cuò ， zhè zhèng shì běn zūn zhě níng jù chū lái de jiàn zhī hún pò 。”
对方听了林轩的猜测，皮笑肉不笑的冷笑起来了：“没错，这正是本尊者凝聚出来的剑之魂魄。”
Could it be...
“ jiàn hún ！”
“剑魂！”
Lin Xuan's mind raced as he considered this possibility, his expression darkening with realization.
jǐn guǎn lín xuān yǐ zì jǐ rèn chū le cǐ wù ， xīn zhōng hái shì rěn bú zhù dí gū 。
尽管林轩已自己认出了此物，心中还是忍不住嘀咕。
Before Lin Xuan could act, colorful sword souls began to appear one after another.
yào zhī dào jiàn hún kě bú shì pǔ tōng zhī wù ， yī bǐng xiān jiàn ， zhì shǎo yào zài xiū shì dān tián zhōng yòng yuán yīng zhī huǒ péi yù wàn nián 。 cái yǒu kě néng chǎn shēng jiàn zhī hún pò 。
要知道剑魂可不是普通之物，一柄仙剑，至少要在修士丹田中用元婴之火培育万年。才有可能产生剑之魂魄。
Their number grew until they filled the entire sky.
zhè dōng xī yǔ qì líng yǒu jǐ fēn xiāng sì ， dàn tóng hòu tiān fēng yìn jìn qù de qì líng xiāng bǐ ， xiān jiàn běn shēn chǎn shēng de jiàn hún zì rán yào qiáng dà xǔ duō 。
这东西与器灵有几分相似，但同后天封印进去的器灵相比，仙剑本身产生的剑魂自然要强大许多。
Sure enough...
dàn yě bú shì shuō měi yī bǐng xiān jiàn péi yù wàn nián dōu néng yǒu jiàn hún chǎn shēng de ， zhè zhōng jiān hái xū yào yī xiē qí tā de tiáo jiàn ， shèn zhì kě yǐ shuō shì jī yuán qiǎo hé 。
但也不是说每一柄仙剑培育万年都能有剑魂产生的，这中间还需要一些其他的条件，甚至可以说是机缘巧合。
The confirmation of his guess made Lin Xuan’s face even more grim. But a shocking sight awaited him; more sword souls continued to materialize at an astonishing rate.
zǒng zhī yī bǐng yōng yǒu jiàn hún de xiān jiàn ， jué duì néng zài yuán yǒu jī chǔ shàng tí shēng bù zhǐ yī jí de 。
总之一柄拥有剑魂的仙剑，绝对能在原有基础上提升不止一级的。
Ordinary treasures producing sword souls was one thing, but these were too weak—like grains of rice. They seemed to be condensed from spirit artifacts.
lín xuān de jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn wú yí shì zuì dǐng jí de bǎo wù 。
林轩的九宫须臾剑无疑是最顶级的宝物。
Could spirit artifacts produce sword souls?
rán ér lín xuān zì jǐ mài rù xiū xiān jiè yě bù guò shù qiān nián de gōng fu 。
然而林轩自己迈入修仙界也不过数千年的功夫。
The answer was yes!
gù ér jiǔ gōng xū yú suī wēi lì wú pǐ 。 dàn lǐ miàn què bìng wú jiàn hún zhè zhǒng dōng xī 。
故而九宫须臾虽威力无匹。但里面却并无剑魂这种东西。
But this was purely theoretical. Even a Golden Core cultivator could have a spirit artifact, so there was no point in nurturing it for ten thousand years just for the sake of producing a sword soul.
zhè yě shì lín xuān de yī dà hàn shì ， dàn yě míng bái cǐ shì jí bù dé ， shuí ràng zì jǐ xiū xíng nà me xùn sù ， suī rán zhè me shuō ， duō shǎo yǒu xiē jiǎo qíng ， dàn dào lǐ què shí shì zhè yàng méi cuò 。
这也是林轩的一大憾事，但也明白此事急不得，谁让自己修行那么迅速，虽然这么说，多少有些矫情，但道理确实是这样没错。
This made no sense!
ér duì fāng nǎi shì dù jié jí bié de jiàn xiū ， běn mìng bǎo wù yōng yǒu jiàn hún shì zài zhèng cháng bù guò ， ruò jǐn jǐn shì zhè yàng 。 lín xuān shì bú huì chī jīng de 。
而对方乃是渡劫级别的剑修，本命宝物拥有剑魂是再正常不过，若仅仅是这样。林轩是不会吃惊的。
After all, even with a sword soul, a spirit artifact remained inferior to a treasure.
ràng tā jīng yà de shì 。 duì fāng zhào huàn chū lái de zhè méi jiàn hún tài ruò xiǎo le ， àn zhào diǎn jí shàng de miáo shù 。 zuì duō bù guò shì yī jiàn pǔ tōng bǎo wù suī níng liàn chū lái de jiàn hún bà le 。
让他惊讶的是。对方召唤出来的这枚剑魂太弱小了，按照典籍上的描述。最多不过是一件普通宝物虽凝炼出来的剑魂罢了。
Lin Xuan's mind was filled with doubts as more and more sword souls appeared. A rough count revealed nearly a million. In other words, the flying swords he had seen earlier indeed possessed sword souls.
nán dào shuō ……
难道说……
"Little fellow, this is my final move, something only a late-stage tribulation cultivator could perform. Even after devouring the Spirit Eye Lake, I risked losing my soul and spirit, but it doesn't matter. I'll take you down to the netherworld even if I perish," the opponent's cold voice echoed, filled with venom.
lín xuān xīn zhōng yǐn yǐn yǒu le yì diǎn chuǎi mó ， xiǎng dào zhè ge kě néng tā bù yóu de bó rán biàn sè。
林轩心中隐隐有了一点揣摩，想到这个可能他不由得勃然变sè。
Lin Xuan listened intently, feeling even more cautious.
rán ér bù děng lín xuān yǒu suǒ dòng zuò ， jiù jiàn wǔ yán liù sè de jiàn hún jiē lián fú xiàn ér chū 。
然而不等林轩有所动作，就见五颜六sè的剑魂接连浮现而出。
A true master could tell by a single move; the opponent had summoned nearly a million sword souls, indicating an extraordinary technique.
shù liàng yuè lái yuè duō ， hěn kuài jiù bù mǎn le zhěng gè tiān mù 。
数量越来越多，很快就布满了整个天幕。
But Lin Xuan wasn't afraid. He was prepared to use the Five Dragon Seal, his most mysterious treasure. Its power was clear to him; against a late-stage tribulation cultivator, he trusted it would suffice. Even a mere early-stage tribulation cultivator couldn’t pose much of a challenge with such a powerful artifact.
guǒ rán ……
果然……
With both parties confident and impatient for anything less than a decisive outcome, they employed their final trump cards.
yìn zhèng le zì jǐ de cāi cè ， lín xuān de liǎn sè yuè fā yīn chén le ， dàn ràng tā chī jīng de yí mù hái méi yǒu jié shù ， jiàn hún yī jiù yǐ lìng rén chēng mù jié shé de sù dù zài xū kōng zhōng fú xiàn ér chū 。
印证了自己的猜测，林轩的脸sè越发yīn沉了，但让他吃惊的一幕还没有结束，剑魂依旧以令人瞠目结舌的速度在虚空中浮现而出。
Meanwhile, at the Sword Lake Palace main hall, the Spirit Eye Lake was dry, but above it floated several dozen Core Formation Stage cultivators. Their expressions varied, but all showed anxiety and apprehension.
pǔ tōng de fǎ bǎo néng gòu níng liàn chū jiàn hún yě jiù bà le ， kě yǒu de jiàn hún wèi miǎn yě tài ruò xiǎo le ， yǔ mǐ lì xiāng chà fǎng fú ， sì hū shì líng qì níng jié ér chū 。
普通的法宝能够凝炼出剑魂也就罢了，可有的剑魂未免也太弱小了，与米粒相差仿佛，似乎是灵器凝结而出。
A hundred feet away, a ten-meter-wide light ball hovered, emitting chilling sword energy. This was undoubtedly the legendary Sword Realm.
líng qì pǐn jí de fēi jiàn néng fǒu dàn shēng jiàn hún ？
灵器品级的飞剑能否诞生剑魂？
They recognized this technique from their sect’s legends, their faces filled with amazement and admiration. With hope mingling in their excitement, they believed that if their junior uncle could manifest such a realm, Lin Xuan's strength, though formidable, would have a better chance of victory with such support.
dá àn shì kěn dìng de ！
答案是肯定的！
