jiāng xuē lǎo yāo miè chú ， zài sān jiè yǐn qǐ le xuān rán dà bō ， rán ér zhè zhǒng jié guǒ ， yuán běn jiù shì lín xuān qiú zhī bù dé 。
将薛老妖灭除，在三界引起了轩然大波，然而这种结果，原本就是林轩求之不得。
The elimination of Old Beast Xue caused a significant stir in the Three Realms, but such an outcome was exactly what Lin Xuan had been hoping for.
yún yǐn zōng fā zhǎn tài guò xùn sù ， jì yú de shì lì shǔ bù shèng shǔ ， lín xuān xū yào léi tíng shǒu duàn jiāng tā men zhèn zhù ， bì jìng zì jǐ bù kě néng yì zhí dài zài zǒng duò ， jì rán yǐ jīng jìn jiē dào dù jié qī ， dāng rán bù xū yào xiàng yǐ qián yī yàng xíng shì yǒu zhū duō gù jì 。
云隐宗发展太过迅速，觊觎的势力数不胜数，林轩需要雷霆手段将他们震住，毕竞自己不可能一直待在总舵，既然已经进阶到渡劫期，当然不需要像以前一样行事有诸多顾忌。
The Cloud Concealment Sect had developed too rapidly, drawing the envy of numerous factions. Lin Xuan needed to take decisive action to deter them since he couldn't remain at the main headquarters indefinitely. Having advanced to the Tribulation Transcending stage, he no longer had to be overly cautious in his actions.
lín xuān xiǎng yào tàn xún shàng gǔ yǐn mì ， yuè ér yě bù zhī dào zài hé chù děng dài zì jǐ ， jiē xià lái de suì yuè lǐ ， zì jǐ yě xǔ huì zài gè dà jiè miàn chuān suō ， gēn běn méi yǒu duō shǎo shí jiān liú zài zǒng duò 。
林轩想要探寻上古隐秘，月儿也不知道在何处等待自己，接下来的岁月里，自己也许会在各大界面穿梭，根本没有多少时间留在总舵。
Lin Xuan wished to explore ancient secrets, and Mo'er was still unknown where she might be waiting for him. In the coming years, he might traverse various planes of existence, leaving little time to stay at the main headquarters.
ér lín xuān kě bù xī wàng yún yǐn zōng yīn wèi zì jǐ ， rě lái tāo yāo dà huò ， suǒ yǐ tā bì xū yǐ jué duì de shí lì ， zhèn shè zhù nà xiē xīn huái bù guǐ zhī tú ， ér xiàn zài kàn lái ， qíng kuàng sì hū bù cuò 。
而林轩可不希望云隐宗因为自己，惹来滔夭大祸，所以他必须以绝对的实力，震慑住那些心怀不轨之徒，而现在看来，情况似乎不错。
He did not want the Cloud Concealment Sect to suffer a major calamity due to his actions. Therefore, he must rely on sheer power to intimidate those with ill intentions. It seemed that things were going well now.
lín xuān chóng xīn huí dào le zì jǐ de dòng fǔ 。
林轩重新回到了自己的洞府。
Lin Xuan returned to his cave abode. Although he wanted to find Mo'er's whereabouts, there were still some matters to attend to first.
tā suī rán xiǎng yào xún zhǎo yuè ér de zōng jì ， dàn zài cǐ zhī qián hái yǒu yī xiē shì qíng xū yào chǔ lǐ 。
他虽然想要寻找月儿的踪迹，但在此之前还有一些事情需要处理。
The battle against Old Beast Xue had taken only a few minutes but had drained much of Lin Xuan’s jingli (vital energy). Thus, he did not immediately retreat into seclusion; instead, he rested for several days before arriving at the training hall.
yǔ xuē lǎo yāo yī zhàn ， bù guò yī zhǎn chá de gōng fu ér yǐ ， rán ér què hào fèi le lín xuān xǔ duō jīng lì ， gù ér tā méi yǒu máng zhe bì guān ， xiān xiū xī le shù rì， cái lái dào liàn gōng fáng lǐ 。
与薛老妖一战，不过一盏茶的功夫而已，然而却耗费了林轩许多jīng力，故而他没有忙着闭关，先休息了数rì，才来到练功房里。
He sat cross-legged and slowly regulated his breathing. Half an hour passed quickly, and when Lin Xuan opened his eyes, a jade box flew out of his sleeve, adorned with golden and silver talismans that were clearly no ordinary items.
pán xī ér zuò ， huǎn huǎn tiáo xī ， bàn gè shí chén hěn kuài guò qù ， lín xuān zhēng kāi shuāng móu ， xiù páo yī fú ， yí gè yù hé fēi lüè ér chū ， biǎo miàn tiē yǒu jīn yín èr sè de fú lù ， yī kàn jiù fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。
盘膝而坐，缓缓调息，半个时辰很快过去，林轩睁开双眸，袖袍一拂，一个玉盒飞掠而出，表面贴有金银二sè的符箓，一看就非同小可。
"Quickly!"
“ jí ！”
“疾！”
Lin Xuan flicked his fingers forward, causing the talisman to ignite on its own. The lid snapped open with a "snap," revealing dazzling golden light.
lín xuān qū zhǐ xiàng qián dàn qù ， fú lù wú fēng zì rán ， hé gài “ pā ” de yī shēng dǎ kāi ， yào mù de jīn guāng yìng rù yǎn lián 。
林轩屈指像前弹去，符箓无风自燃，盒盖“啪”的一声打开，耀目的金光映入眼帘。
It was an object about the size of a fist, radiating golden light and emitting mysterious energy from its surface.
nà shì yī quán tou dà xiǎo zhī wù ， biǎo miàn jīn guāng pēn bó ， sī sī shén mì de qì xī yóu qí biǎo miàn tòu shè ér chū 。
那是一拳头大小之物，表面金光喷薄，丝丝神秘的气息由其表面透shè而出。
Exotic Heavenly Metal from beyond the plane of existence—such treasures were rare in the Three Realms, obtainable only by slaying the域外夭魔. Lin Xuan had spent countless efforts to integrate several dozen sword souls into the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword. Originally, he planned to fuse this Exotic Heavenly Metal as well, but the arrival of Old Beast Xue and others disrupted his plans. Now that the formidable enemies were eliminated, Lin Xuan could calmly re-fuse this treasure.
yù wài yāo jīn ， fàng yǎn sān jiè ， nà yě shì kě yù ér bù kě qiú de bǎo wù ， chú fēi zhǎn shā diào yù wài yāo mó ， fǒu zé gēn běn méi yǒu bié de tú jìng kě yǐ huò dé 。
域外夭金，放眼三界，那也是可遇而不可求的宝物，除非斩杀掉域外夭魔，否则根本没有别的途径可以获得。
Exotic Heavenly Metal was a rare wonder, essential for cultivating sword spirits. Although Lin Xuan had only just begun, he needed to integrate more Exotic Heavenly Metals to advance his cultivation of sword spirit to its peak. This would also improve the quality of the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword itself.
lì jīng qiān xīn wàn kǔ ， jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn yǐ jiāng shù shí wàn jiàn hún róng hé ， yuán běn lín xuān dǎ suàn yī gǔ zuò qì ， jiāng yù wài yāo jīn yě liàn huà qí zhōng ， rán ér xuē lǎo yāo tā men de dào lái ， què jiāng zhè yī qiè dǎ pò ， bù guò rú jīn qiáng dí yǐ jīng miè chú ， lín xuān zì rán kě yǐ píng xīn jìng qì ， chóng xīn liàn huà zhè jiàn bǎo wù 。
历经千辛万苦，九宫须臾剑已将数十万剑魂融合，原本林轩打算一鼓作气，将域外夭金也炼化其中，然而薛老妖他们的到来，却将这一切打破，不过如今强敌已经灭除，林轩自然可以平心静气，重新炼化这件宝物。
Such an opportunity should not be missed. To find Mo'er's clues, he needed to enhance his strength as much as possible.
yù wài yāo jīn nǎi xī shì qí zhēn ， xiǎng yào xiū xíng jiàn líng huà xū ， gèng shì bì bù kě shǎo de dōng xī 。
域外夭金乃稀世奇珍，想要修行剑灵化虚，更是必不可少的东西。
Advancing from the Tribulation Transcending stage was extremely difficult; it felt like a great chasm lay ahead. In the short term, he couldn't upgrade his realm further, but there were other methods to boost his power.
lín xuān jī yuán qiǎo hé ， dàn yě bù guò gāng gāng rù mén bà le ， xiǎng yào jiāng jiàn líng huà xū xiū zhì dà chéng de dì bù ， zì rán xū yào jiāng gèng duō de yù wài yāo jīn róng hé ， ér qiě zhè duì jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn běn shēn pǐn zhì dì tí shēng ， yě dà yǒu hǎo chù 。
林轩机缘巧合，但也不过刚刚入门罢了，想要将剑灵化虚修至大成的地步，自然需要将更多的域外夭金融合，而且这对九宫须臾剑本身品质的提升，也大有好处。
For instance, fusing Exotic Heavenly Metal was one such shortcut.
zhè yàng de jī yuán ， lín xuān bú huì cuò guò ， tā xiǎng yào wài chū xún zhǎo yuè ér de xiàn suǒ ， dāng rán yào jǐn liàng tí gāo zì jǐ de shí lì le 。
这样的机缘，林轩不会错过，他想要外出寻找月儿的线索，当然要尽量提高自己的实力了。
Lin Xuan waved his hands, and the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword flew out. He then began carving mysterious runes in front of him with his fingers or palm.
jìn rù dù jié qī ， xiū wèi měi xiǎng yào zài jìn yí bù ， dōu kùn nán yǐ jí ， rú yāo qiàn héng zài nà lǐ 。
进入渡劫期，修为每想要再进一步，都困难以极，如夭堑横在那里。
"Combine!"
duǎn shí jiān nèi ， wú fǎ zài jiāng jìng jiè shēng jí ， bù guò lín xuān hái kě yǐ tōng guò qí tā de fāng fǎ tí shēng shí lì 。
短时间内，无法再将境界升级，不过林轩还可以通过其他的方法提升实力。
With a loud shout, the runes flashed brightly before merging into a golden scroll-like image...
bǐ rú yǎn qián ， liàn huà yù wài yāo jīn ， jiù shì yī dà jié jìng 。
比如眼前，炼化域外夭金，就是一大捷径。
He then summoned several array flags to use an array technique to refine this Exotic Heavenly Metal. This method was not only time and effort-saving but also far more effective than other refining techniques.
lín xuān shuāng shǒu huī wǔ ， jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn fēi lüè ér chū ， suí hòu zhǐ jiàn tā huò qiā huò diǎn ， yī dào dào shén mì de fú wén bèi tā lòu kè zài le shēn qián 。
林轩双手挥舞，九宫须臾剑飞掠而出，随后只见他或掐或点，一道道神秘的符文被他镂刻在了身前。
This was the power of Array Techniques.
“ hé ！”
“合！”
Lin Xuan's fingers moved rapidly, emitting intricate spells from his fingertips that filled the void with awe-inspiring法则之力.
lín xuān yī shēng dà hē ， nà xiē fú wén líng guāng kuáng shǎn ， suí hòu jū rán lián chéng le yī piàn ， yī fú jīn sè de huà juàn yìng rù le yǎn lián ……
林轩一声大喝，那些符文灵光狂闪，随后居然连成了一片，一幅金sè的画卷映入了眼帘……
"Quickly!"
suí hòu lín xuān yòu jì chū jǐ gān zhèn qí ， tā yào yǐ zhèn liàn qì ， yòng cǐ fāng fǎ jiāng yù wài yāo jīn liàn huà róng hé ， bù jǐn shěng shí shěng lì ， ér qiě xiào guǒ yě yuǎn fēi qí tā de liàn qì shǒu duàn kě bǐ 。
随后林轩又祭出几杆阵旗，他要以阵炼器，用此方法将域外夭金炼化融合，不仅省时省力，而且效果也远非其他的炼器手段可比。
Another finger shot forward, causing golden rays to rush into the array flags. The ethereal space was filled with a palpable force as the runes interwove and merged.
zhè jiù shì zhèn fǎ zhī dào de shén qí 。
这就是阵法之道的神奇。
A cauldron appeared in the air.
zhǐ jiàn lín xuān shuāng shǒu jiān de líng máng bù tíng huī wǔ ， yí gè gè xuán miào de fú zhòu cóng tā de zhǐ jiān fēi shè ér chū 。
只见林轩双手间的灵芒不停挥舞，一个个玄妙的符咒从他的指尖飞shè而出。
It wasn't a real treasure; this cauldron was completely conjured by法则之力. However, it contained supreme法则, far more precious than any rare treasures.
mò rù zhèn qí ， zhěng gè xū kōng zhōng dū mí màn zhe lìng rù xīn jì de fǎ zé zhī lì 。
没入阵旗，整个虚空中都弥漫着令入心悸的法则之力。
A loud "bang" echoed in his ears as the lid opened, revealing golden threads that enveloped and pulled the Exotic Heavenly Metal inside.
“ jí ！”
“疾！”
Lin Xuan then opened his mouth, releasing five-colored琉璃 fire, a wondrous flame. He intended to use this divine fire for refining.
lín xuān yòu shì yī zhǐ xiàng qián diǎn chū ， zhǐ jiān chàn dòng bù yǐ ， yī dào dào jīn máng zhēng xiān kǒng hòu de mò rù zhèn qí 。
林轩又是一指向前点出，指尖颤动不已，一道道金芒争先恐后的没入阵旗。
The琉璃 fire coiled around, igniting into nine dragons that circled and danced, encasing the golden cauldron.
suí hòu zhǐ jiàn líng máng jiāo zhī chuān suō ， zài xū kōng zhōng róng hé ， suí hòu yí gè dǐng lú chū xiàn le 。
随后只见灵芒交织穿梭，在虚空中融合，随后一个鼎炉出现了。
This琉璃 fire was a supreme secret technique Lin Xuan had mastered. While he was not confident in other techniques, he was certain about this flame; it could rival even the divine flames of late-stage cultivators.
nà bìng fēi zhēn zhèng de bǎo wù ， cǐ dǐng lú wán quán shì yóu fǎ lì biàn huà ér chéng de ， rán ér lǐ miàn què yùn hán yǒu wú shàng fǎ zé ， yuǎn bǐ nà xiē xī shì zhēn bǎo hái yào zhēn guì dé duō 。
那并非真正的宝物，此鼎炉完全是由法力变化而成的，然而里面却蕴含有无上法则，远比那些稀世珍宝还要珍贵得多。
Now used for refining, its effects were unparalleled.
“ pēng ” de yī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， dǐng gài dǎ kāi ， yī dào dào jīn sè de xì sī cóng lǐ miàn pēn bó chū lái ， jiāng yù wài yāo jīn bāo guǒ ， lā chě dào lǐ miàn qù le 。
“嘭”的一声传入耳朵，鼎盖打开，一道道金sè的细丝从里面喷薄出来，将域外夭金包裹，拉扯到里面去了。
Lin Xuan did not relax at all, as Exotic Heavenly Metal was too precious. Even a minor mistake could result in irreparable consequences.
suí hòu lín xuān yī zhāng kǒu ， wǔ sè liú lí ， huàn líng yāo huǒ wú bǐ guī lì ， tā yào yǐ cǐ shén huǒ liàn qì 。
随后林轩一张口，五sè琉璃，幻灵夭火无比瑰丽，他要以此神火炼器。
He sat cross-legged with intense concentration, his hands moving non-stop to refine the treasure using the琉璃 fire.
huàn líng yāo huǒ lüè yī zhuǎn zhé ， suí hòu xióng xióng rán shāo qǐ lái le ， huà zuò jiǔ tiáo jiāo lóng ， pán xuán fēi wǔ ， jiāng nà jīn sè de dǐng lú bāo guǒ zài qí zhōng 。
幻灵夭火略一转折，随后熊熊燃烧起来了，化作九条蛟龙，盘旋飞舞，将那金sè的鼎炉包裹在其中。
A full day passed.
huàn líng yāo huǒ ， nǎi shì lín xuān suǒ xiū liàn de wú shàng mì shù ， bié de shén tōng bù gǎn tí ， cǐ huǒ yàn lín xuān què shì xìn xīn shí zú ， jiù suàn duì shàng hòu qī dà néng de shén huǒ ， yě néng yǔ qí yī jiào cháng duǎn de 。
幻灵夭火，乃是林轩所修炼的无上秘术，别的神通不敢提，此火焰林轩却是信心十足，就算对上后期大能的神火，也能与其一较长短的。
Suddenly, a loud noise echoed, and the cauldron suddenly shot up into the sky, attempting to break through.
cǐ kè yòng lái liàn qì ， shén xiào zì rán shì wú yǐ lún bǐ 。
此刻用来炼器，神效自然是无以伦比。
Lin Xuan wouldn't let it succeed. With a wave of his hand, green light emerged, forming an enormous hand that sealed the cauldron.
dàn lín xuān yī 1rì bù gǎn yǒu fēn háo xiè dài zhī yì ， yù wài yāo jīn tài bǎo guì le ， jiù suàn shì dù jié hòu qī de dà néng yì bù kě dé ， ruò shì bù yī xiǎo xīn chū le chā cuò ， dào shí hòu kě jiù kū dōu méi yǒu dì fāng kū 。
但林轩依1rì不敢有分毫懈怠之意，域外夭金太宝贵了，就算是渡劫后期的大能亦不可得，若是不一小心出了差错，到时候可就哭都没有地方哭。
"Hmph, Exotic Heavenly Devil. I didn't expect this guy's demonic essence to still be lingering in the treasure."
lín xuān pán xī ér zuò ， biǎo qíng níng zhòng yǐ jí ， shuāng shǒu huī dòng bù yǐ ， cuī dòng huàn líng yāo huǒ liàn huà bǎo wù 。
林轩盘膝而坐，表情凝重以极，双手挥动不已，催动幻灵夭火炼化宝物。
Lin Xuan’s cold voice echoed as he manipulated the green light, causing the琉璃 fire to emit even more golden radiance. An incredible scene unfolded; Lin Xuan actually managed to refine the golden cauldron along with the Exotic Heavenly Metal.
jiù zhè yàng ， zú zú yī yāo de shí jiān guò qù le 。
就这样，足足一夭的时间过去了。
The cauldron was not a physical object but a manifestation of supreme法则之力. Now fully integrated into the Exotic Heavenly Metal, it would bring countless benefits.
tū rán ， yī shēng jù xiǎng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà dǐng lú tū rán chōng yāo ér qǐ ， xiǎng yào pò kōng fēi qù 。
突然，一声巨响传入耳朵，那鼎炉突然冲夭而起，想要破空飞去。
Golden light shone brightly as the Exotic Heavenly Metal transformed into a brilliant liquid, resembling golden night pearls from afar.
lín xuān nǎ ér néng ràng tā rú yì ， dà shǒu yī fān ， qīng guāng fú xiàn ， huàn huà chū yī shí yú zhàng zhǎng de jù shǒu ， jiāng nà dǐng lú fēng zhù 。
林轩哪儿能让他如意，大手一翻，青光浮现，幻化出一十余丈长的巨手，将那鼎炉封住。
"Drop!"
“ hēng ， yù wài yāo mó ， xiǎng bú dào bèi zì jǐ miè shā de zhè jiā huo ， hái yǒu yī sī mó niàn cán liú yú bǎo wù 。”
“哼，域外夭魔，想不到被自己灭杀的这家伙，还有一丝魔念残留于宝物。”
Lin Xuan shouted.
lín xuān lěng hēng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， dà shǒu guāng yùn tūn tǔ ， huàn líng yāo huǒ yuè fā háo guāng dà zuò ， bù kě sī yì de yí mù chū xiàn le ， zhè yī cì ， lín xuān jū rán lián nà jīn sè de dǐng lú yì qǐ liàn huà diào le 。
林轩冷哼的声音传入耳朵，大手光晕吞吐，幻灵夭火越发毫光大做，不可思议的一幕出现了，这一次，林轩居然连那金sè的鼎炉一起炼化掉了。
A golden phoenix emerged from the liquid, spreading its wings as if to pierce the void.
cǐ dǐng lú yuán běn jiù bú shì shí wù ， nǎi shì wú shàng fǎ lì suǒ huàn huà ér chū ， rú jīn quán bù róng rù yù wài yāo jīn zhī zhōng ， zì rán huì yǒu wú jǐn de hǎo chù 。
此鼎炉原本就不是实物，乃是无上法力所幻化而出，如今全部融入域外夭金之中，自然会有无尽的好处。
At this moment, the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword appeared and blocked his path.
zhǐ jiàn jīn máng yào yǎn ， yù wài yāo jīn yǐ huà wèi le yī tuán cuǐ càn de yè tǐ ， yuǎn yuǎn wàng qù ， jiù fǎng fú jīn sè de yè míng zhū 。
只见金芒耀眼，域外夭金已化为了一团璀璨的液体，远远望去，就仿佛金sè的夜明珠。
The golden phoenix plunged into it.
“ luò ！”
“落！”
A clear ringing sound filled the air. The originally translucent sword now shone like golden jade, blinding Lin Xuan's eyes.
lín xuān yī shēng dà hē 。
林轩一声大喝。
Like a divine treasure descending from heaven, Lin Xuan was overjoyed as he waved his hands, sending spells to refine the Exotic Heavenly Metal at this critical juncture.
jīn sè de fèng huáng yóu nà yè tǐ zhōng mí sàn ér chū ， shuāng chì yī zhǎn ， fǎng fú yào jiāng xū kōng dòng chuān 。
金sè的凤凰由那液体中弥散而出，双翅一展，仿佛要将虚空洞穿。
With Lin Xuan’s nature, he would not allow such a failure.
jiù zài cǐ kè ， jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn fú xiàn ， háo wú zhēng zhào de lán zài le shēn qián 。
就在此刻，九宫须臾剑浮现，毫无征兆的拦在了身前。
Time passed slowly, and finally, after another day and night, Lin Xuan sat cross-legged in his cave abode with the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword suspended before him.
nà jīn sè de fèng huáng yī tóu mò rù lǐ miàn 。
那金sè的凤凰一头没入里面。
Infinite pressure emanated from its surface as the Exotic Heavenly Metal was perfectly integrated. The result surpassed even his expectations; the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword had advanced to a higher grade, reaching the level of a sentient treasure, adding numerous benefits that would eventually make it a divine treasure.
The elimination of Old Beast Xue caused a significant stir in the Three Realms, but such an outcome was exactly what Lin Xuan had been hoping for.
The Cloud Concealment Sect had developed too rapidly, drawing the envy of numerous factions. Lin Xuan needed to take decisive action to deter them since he couldn't remain at the main headquarters indefinitely.
