第三千一百四十章 尝试

bsp;    rán ér lín xuān què bìng bù zài yì ， kàn de sù dù fēi cháng xùn jí ， yǐ tā rú jīn de shí lì ， pǔ tōng de bǎo bèi yòu nǎ ér huì fàng jìn yǎn lǐ ， jí biàn zhè xiē yù tóng dōu shì wàn lǐ tiāo yī ， lín xuān yě zhǐ huì xún zhǎo zì jǐ xū yào de dōng xī 。

bsp;   然而林轩却并不在意，看的速度非常迅疾，以他如今的实力，普通的宝贝又哪儿会放进眼里，即便这些玉瞳都是万里挑一，林轩也只会寻找自己需要的东西。

However, Lin Xuan was not concerned. He read through the documents at a very rapid pace. With his current strength, ordinary treasures were not worth his attention. Even if these jade pupils were rare and unique, Lin Xuan would only seek out what he needed.

jiù zhè yàng ， yī zhù xiāng de shí jiān guò qù 。

就这样，一炷香的时间过去。

In this way, one incense stick's time passed by.

zhōng yú ， lín xuān yuán běn píng jìng de miàn róng shàng lù chū le yī sī xīn xǐ 。

终于，林轩原本平静的面容上露出了一丝欣喜。

Finally, a hint of joy appeared on Lin Xuan’s previously calm face. In his hand was an ancient jade pupil scroll, its grayish hue suggesting it had existed for longer than the others.

cǐ kè tā shǒu lǐ ná zhe yī gǔ jiù de yù tóng jiǎn ， huī pū pū de yán sè， kàn shàng qù ， sì hū bǐ qí tā de yù tóng ， cún zài de shí jiān dōu hái yào gèng jiā jiǔ yuǎn 。

此刻他手里拿着一古旧的玉瞳简，灰扑扑的颜sè，看上去，似乎比其他的玉瞳，存在的时间都还要更加久远。

But what Lin Xuan cared about wasn't the age; the scroll contained what he needed: the origin of sword souls and how to refine them.

bù guò lín xuān guān xīn de bú shì shí jiān wèn tí ， yǎn qián de yù tóng ， jì zǎi le tā xū yào de dōng xī 。

不过林轩关心的不是时间问题，眼前的玉瞳，记载了他需要的东西。

Indeed, as expected, these sword souls were not just the possession of that robed man. After all, refining each sword soul required a significant amount of time and jingqi, something no cultivator could accomplish alone.

jiàn hún de lái lì ， yǐ jí rú hé liàn huà zhè xiē dōng xī 。

剑魂的来历，以及如何炼化这些东西。

This had nothing to do with cultivation level; it needed the support of a sect. A million sword souls were the work of generations of ancestors from Sword Lake Palace, a treasure that was akin to their secret weapon.

guǒ rán rú zì jǐ cāi cè ， zhè xiē jiàn zhī hún pò bìng fēi nà qīng páo nán zi yī rén de dōng xī 。

果然如自己猜测，这些剑之魂魄并非那青袍男子一人的东西。

Correctly, refining so many sword souls wasn’t something even the Sword Venerable could achieve in a short time. It took countless cultivators pouring their hearts and jingqi into it over millennia to finally create these million precious sword souls.

bì jìng ， měi yī méi jiàn hún de liàn zhì ， dōu yào xiāo hào dà liàng de shí jiān yǔ jīng lì ， gēn běn bú shì yī míng xiū xiān zhě néng gòu bàn dào dì

毕竟，每一枚剑魂的炼制，都要消耗大量的时间与jīng力，根本不是一名修仙者能够办到地

Their power was unparalleled, and they had long been kept by the Grand Elder as one of the sect’s secret weapons. When Thousand Swords Venerable went to participate in True Sage’s double cultivation ceremony, he entrusted this item to his junior disciple for safety's sake, which is why it ended up with the robed man.

zhè yǔ xiū wèi méi yǒu guān xì ， bì xū jiè zhù mén pài zhī lì 。

这与修为没有关系，必须借助门派之力。

Originally, with the terrifying power of a million sword souls, even a mid-stage Golden Transformation existence could be slain. But Lin Xuan had the Five Dragon Seal in his possession.

bǎi wàn jiàn hún ， nǎi shì jiàn hú gōng lì dài zǔ shī de shǒu bǐ ， shì gāi pài shā shǒu jiǎn yì bān de dōng xī 。

百万剑魂，乃是剑湖宫历代祖师的手笔，是该派杀手锏一般的东西。

This treasure was extremely mysterious; its exact grade was unclear to Lin Xuan, but it surpassed even先天灵宝 (Primordial Spirit Treasure). In times of crisis, Lin Xuan did not hesitate and summoned the Five Dragon Seal, finally securing the final victory.

méi cuò ， xiǎng yào liàn zhì nà me duō jiàn zhī hún pò ， qiáng rú jiàn hú gōng yě bú shì yī shí sān kè jiù néng gòu bàn dào de ， ér shì cóng shàng gǔ kāi shǐ ， wú shù xiū shì qīng zhù le xīn xuè yǔ jīng lì ， cái zhōng yú yǒu le bǎi wàn jiàn hún zhè yàng bǎo guì de dōng xī 。

没错，想要炼制那么多剑之魂魄，强如剑湖宫也不是一时三刻就能够办到的，而是从上古开始，无数修士倾注了心血与jīng力，才终于有了百万剑魂这样宝贵的东西。

The remaining sword souls also fell into his hands. Although only a third remained, the presence of hundreds of thousands of sword souls was still awe-inspiring. Now, Lin Xuan needed to merge them and refine them all into his own命宝 (Life-Binding Treasure).

qí wēi lì wú yǐ lún bǐ ， zuò wèi běn mén de shā shǒu jiǎn zhī yī ， lì lái shì yóu dà zhǎng lǎo bǎo guǎn dì 。

其威力无以伦比，做为本门的杀手锏之一，历来是由大长老保管地。

There were many methods for refining sword souls, but this one in front of him was undoubtedly top-notch.

wàn jiàn zūn zhě qù cān jiā nài lóng zhēn rén de shuāng xiū diǎn lǐ ， wèi yǐ fáng wàn yī ， jiāng cǐ wù zàn shí jiāo yǔ le shī dì ， gù ér cái huì chū xiàn zài qīng páo nán zi de shǒu lǐ 。

万剑尊者去参加鼐龙真人的双修典礼，为以防万一，将此物暂时交予了师弟，故而才会出现在青袍男子的手里。

Such an opportunity was not to be missed. Lowering his head, he began to contemplate the scroll word by word.

yuán běn píng zhe bǎi wàn jiàn hún de kě pà wēi lì ， jiù suàn shì zhǎn shā dù jié zhōng qī de cún zài yě méi yǒu wèn tí ， kě lín xuān shǒu zhōng què yǒu wǔ lóng xǐ 。

原本凭着百万剑魂的可怕威力，就算是斩杀渡劫中期的存在也没有问题，可林轩手中却有五龙玺。

Though the text was obscure and ancient, it was relatively straightforward compared to the recent Compendium of Treasure Techniques Lin Xuan had been practicing. He carefully studied the scroll and quickly grasped its subtle nuances.

zhè jiàn bǎo wù shén mì yǐ jí ， jiū jìng shì shén me pǐn jí lín xuān bù qīng chǔ ， dàn jí biàn bǐ zhī xiān tiān líng bǎo yě bù xùn sè。

这件宝物神秘以极，究竟是什么品级林轩不清楚，但即便比之先天灵宝也不逊sè。

Merging hundreds of thousands of sword souls wasn’t easy; it required a carrier that could withstand them. In other words, he needed to first seal the sword souls into divine swords.

wēi jī shí kè ， lín xuān zì rán bú huì chí yí ， jì qǐ wǔ lóng xǐ ， zhōng yú qǔ dé le zuì hòu de shèng lì 。

危机时刻，林轩自然不会迟疑，祭起五龙玺，终于取得了最后的胜利。

Then, using secret techniques, he would merge the sword souls within those divine swords.

ér cán cún de jiàn hún yě luò zài le tā de shǒu lǐ ， suī rán zhǐ shèng xià sān fēn zhī yī ， dàn shù shí wàn jiàn hún yī jiù shì yí gè lìng rén jīng tàn de shù zì 。 lín xuān xiàn zài yào zuò de jiù shì jiāng tā men hé ér wéi yī 。 rán hòu quán bù liàn huà jìn zì jǐ de běn mìng fǎ bǎo lǐ 。

而残存的剑魂也落在了他的手里，虽然只剩下三分之一，但数十万剑魂依旧是一个令人惊叹的数字。林轩现在要做的就是将它们合而为一。然后全部炼化进自己的本命法宝里。

It was not particularly difficult in theory. Sealing just a few sword souls at a time was straightforward enough for Lin Xuan’s strength.

liàn huà jiàn hún de fāng fǎ yǒu xǔ duō ， dàn yǎn qián ， jué duì shì dǐng ér jiān ér de mì shù 。

炼化剑魂的方法有许多，但眼前，绝对是顶儿尖儿的秘术。

However, his goal was unprecedented; merging hundreds of thousands of sword souls at once.

rú cǐ jī yuán ， lín xuān zì rán bú huì cuò guò ， dī xià tou lú ， yī zì yī jù de kāi shǐ le cān wù 。

如此机缘，林轩自然不会错过，低下头颅，一字一句的开始了参悟。

The more sword souls that were merged, the greater their power would be.

huì sè gǔ piáo ， dàn nà yě shì xiāng duì lái shuō 。 yǔ bù jiǔ qián zì jǐ xiū liàn de tōng bǎo jué xiāng bǐ ， jiǎn zhí bù zhí yī tí ， lín xuān xì xì yán dú ， hěn kuài jiù jiāng qí zhōng de jīng wēi ào miào lǐng wù 。

晦涩古朴，但那也是相对来说。与不久前自己修炼的通宝诀相比，简直不值一提，林轩细细研读，很快就将其中的jīng微奥妙领悟。

While this made sense, it also posed problems. Could the Nine Palaces Swift Sword bear such a heavy load? Although Lin Xuan had full confidence in the treasure, with so many sword souls, there was no guarantee of success.

jiāng shù shí wàn jiàn hún róng hé ， shuō nán bù nán ， shuō yì bù yì 。

将数十万剑魂融合，说难不难，说易不易。

If something went wrong, the divine sword might collapse, and that would be catastrophic for his命宝 (Life-Binding Treasure).

guān jiàn zài yú 。 yào lǐng wù yī xiē lèi sì yú jué qiào de dōng xī 。 ér zhè jué qiào shuō chuān le yě bù xī qí 。

关键在于。要领悟一些类似于诀窍的东西。而这诀窍说穿了也不稀奇。

With this thought, Lin Xuan flicked his sleeves, and silver light flashed. Dozens of divine swords emerged from his sleeves, swirling around him. The surface of these swords was still jumping with black electric arcs.

jiàn hún bìng bù néng qīng yì róng hé ， xū yào néng gòu chéng shòu tā men de zài tǐ ， yě jiù shì shuō ， yào xiān jiāng jiàn hún fēng yìn jìn xiān jiàn lǐ 。

剑魂并不能轻易融合，需要能够承受它们的载体，也就是说，要先将剑魂封印进仙剑里。

Satisfied, Lin Xuan pointed a finger forward: "Combine!"

suí hòu zài shī zhǎn mì shù ， jiāng xiān jiàn nèi de jiàn hún róng hé 。

随后再施展秘术，将仙剑内的剑魂融合。

As he did so, a golden light burst forth from the tip of his finger. Then that golden light condensed into a mysterious rune in front of him. Simultaneously, whizzing sounds filled the air as the divine swords interwove and converged.

shuō qǐ lái méi yǒu shén me nán dù 。

说起来没有什么难度。

A myriad of colors of spiritual light shone, with countless mysterious runes rotating and spewing out. The entire process was complex but took only an instant.

ruò zhǐ shì fēng yìn liáo liáo shù méi jiàn hún yě què shí shì rú cǐ de 。

若只是封印寥寥数枚剑魂也确实是如此的。

Then, all the divine swords vanished from sight, replaced by a single sword in his vision.

yǐ lín xuān de shí lì ， kě yǐ shuō chéng gōng wán quán méi yǒu wèn tí 。

以林轩的实力，可以说成功完全没有问题。

Thin like a cicada’s wing, it was semi-transparent!

wèn tí shì ， tā yào zuò de shì qián wú gǔ rén de dà shǒu bǐ 。

问题是，他要做的是前无古人的大手笔。

But it emitted a very mysterious aura. The Nine Palaces Swift Sword had merged into one; this singular divine sword was unparalleled.

jiāng shù shí wàn jiàn hún yì qǐ róng hé 。

将数十万剑魂一起融合。

Lin Xuan stared intently at the object. Suddenly, he raised his hand and cast another spell: "Hasten!"

yào zhī dào ， jiàn hún zhè dōng xī 。 róng hé de shù liàng yuè duō 。 wēi lì yě jiù yuè chōng zú 。

要知道，剑魂这东西。融合的数量越多。威力也就越充足。

Following his action, an egg-sized flame flew over and easily integrated with the divine sword…

dào lǐ shì zhè yàng méi cuò ， kě wèn tí yě jiù suí zhī ér lái le 。

道理是这样没错，可问题也就随之而来了。

The entire process was seamless, astonishingly simple.

yào tóng shí zhuāng zài nà me duō jiàn hún 。 jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn shì fǒu chéng shòu dé zhù 。

要同时装载那么多剑魂。九宫须臾剑是否承受得住。

But Lin Xuan showed no surprise; merging just one sword soul wasn’t particularly difficult.

suī rán lín xuān duì zhè jiàn bǎo wù xìn xīn shí zú ， dàn jiàn hún de shù liàng tài duō ， yě jiù bù hǎo bǎo zhèng le 。

虽然林轩对这件宝物信心十足，但剑魂的数量太多，也就不好保证了。

With a mental command, the green round bead spun, emitting green light. Countless sword souls diffused from its surface. Lin Xuan’s expression turned serious as he waved his hands, sealing each sword soul into the Nine Palaces Swift Sword like moths to a flame.

wàn yī chū shén me chā cuò ， xiān jiàn kě shì yào bēng kuì diào de 。

万一出什么差错，仙剑可是要崩溃掉的。

...

ér zhè kě shì zì jǐ de běn mìng bǎo wù ， ruò shì chū le zhè yàng de chā cuò ， lín xuān suǒ shǒu shòu dào de yǐng xiǎng yě jiù kě xiǎng ér zhī 。

而这可是自己的本命宝物，若是出了这样的差错，林轩所手受到的影响也就可想而知。

At first, Lin Xuan moved quickly. However, as time passed and more sword souls were sealed within the divine sword, he became increasingly cautious.

ruò huàn yī míng xiū xiān zhě ， duō bàn zhǐ yǒu fàng qì ， huò zhě tuì ér qiú qí cì ， bù jiāng shù shí wàn jiàn hún quán bù róng hé ， zhǐ xuǎn qǔ qí zhōng jǐ méi hǎo de 。

若换一名修仙者，多半只有放弃，或者退而求其次，不将数十万剑魂全部融合，只选取其中几枚好的。

Although he had mastered the technique of transforming sword souls into ethereal forms, even if the Nine Palaces Swift Sword was destroyed, it could be reborn, but that would be a waste of effort. He needed to remerge the sword souls, so being careful was always wise.

guì jīng bù guì duō ！

贵jīng不贵多！

...

rán ér lín xuān què méi yǒu zhè me zuò 。

然而林轩却没有这么做。

Time slowly passed; several days went by.

chí yí bù guò yī shùn jiān ér yǐ ， hěn kuài lín xuān jiù xiǎng dào le ， zì jǐ gēn běn bù yòng dān xīn zhè xiē dōng xī 。

迟疑不过一瞬间而已，很快林轩就想到了，自己根本不用担心这些东西。

Lin Xuan remained in his training room. In front of him were two treasures: on the left, a divine sword shimmering with spiritual light and thin as a cicada’s wing; on the right, a round bead the size of a fist, its surface dimmed to an almost invisible glow.
