zhè ge niàn tou zài nǎo hǎi zhōng zhuǎn guò ， tā de liǎn sè yī xià zi biàn dé shà bái qǐ lái le 。
这个念头在脑海中转过，他的脸色一下子变得煞白起来了。
This thought flashed through his mind, and his face turned ashen white.
ruò shì pǔ tōng de dù jié chū qī de xiū xiān zhě ， duì yú xiān tiān zhī wù ， dà duō shì zhǐ wén qí míng ， ér bù céng zhēn zhèng de jiàn guò 。
若是普通的渡劫初期的修仙者，对于先天之物，大多是只闻其名，而不曾真正的见过。
If it were a regular cultivator at the初级渡劫 stage, they would mostly only hear about先天之物 but rarely see them in person. As such, their understanding of these items was merely hearsay, making it difficult to grasp their true power.
rú cǐ yī lái ， zuì duō yě jiù suàn shì dào tīng tú shuō ， duì yú qí wēi lì nán yǐ yǒu yí gè zhí guān shàng de gǎn chù 。
如此一来，最多也就算是道听途说，对于其威力难以有一个直观上的感触。
However, Stone Elder Dryness was different. He had obtained his immortality from a灵石, and his cultivation technique was unique. His lifespan far exceeded that of other cultivators at the same stage.
rán ér kū shí wēng bù tóng 。
然而枯石翁不同。
The saying goes, "Old age brings wisdom," and after living for millions of years, one's experiences are vast. By chance, he once saw an actual先天之物.
tā nǎi shì líng shí dé dào zhī wù ， gōng fǎ tè shū ， shòu yuán zhī màn cháng gèng shì yuǎn chāo tóng jiē xiū xiān zhě 。
他乃是灵石得道之物，功法特殊，寿元之漫长更是远超同阶修仙者。
Although it was just a fleeting glimpse, the impression was profound. The power of先天灵宝 was awe-inspiring, far beyond that of ordinary treasures.
sú huà shuō ， rén lǎo chéng jīng ， huó le jǐ bǎi wàn nián ， jiàn shí zì rán guǎng bó ， jī yuán qiǎo hé xià ， céng jiàn guò zhēn zhèng de xiān tiān zhī wù 。
俗话说，人老成精，活了几百万年，见识自然广博，机缘巧合下，曾见过真正的先天之物。
Even to cultivators at the渡劫 stage, such items posed a significant threat; a misstep could lead to their demise.
suī rán zhǐ shì jīng hóng yī piē ， rán ér yìn xiàng què jí wéi shēn kè 。
虽然只是惊鸿一瞥，然而印象却极为深刻。
Seeing Lin Xuan pull out the仙剑图, his heart began to race with fear. He even had the urge to flee. However, he did not do so.
xiān tiān líng bǎo de wēi lì ， jiǎn zhí shì jīng shì hài sú ， jué fēi pǔ tōng fǎ bǎo kě yǐ qǐ jí de 。
先天灵宝的威力，简直是惊世骇俗，绝非普通法宝可以企及的。
Firstly, the environment was special—inside the true spirit space of the Blood Moon Demon Toad, there was no escape or hiding. Secondly, he harbored doubts about Lin Xuan. Although the young man was formidable, he was still merely at the初级渡劫 stage. Such items were rare in the spiritual realm; even advanced cultivators rarely possessed them.
nǎ pà duì yú dù jié jí bié de xiū xiān zhě ， wēi xié yī jiù shì lìng rén jīng è ， yí bù xiǎo xīn ， jiù yǒu kě néng yǔn luò 。
哪怕对于渡劫级别的修仙者，威胁依旧是令人惊愕，一不小心，就有可能陨落。
Could this young man really be so lucky? He might have misunderstood and ended up making a fool of himself if it turned out to be nothing.
cǐ shí jiàn lín xuān ná chū xiān jiàn tú ， tā de xīn zhōng bù yóu de kāi shǐ dǎ gǔ 。
此时见林轩拿出仙剑图，他的心中不由得开始打鼓。
These thoughts made Stone Elder Dryness hesitate. While he hesitated, Lin Xuan did not wait for him. In the world of high-level combatants, every millisecond counted. His indecision was already a grave mistake. Lin Xuan's expression remained calm, but his brows twitched with a hint of ruthlessness.
zài nà yī shùn jiān ， shèn zhì yǒu wàng fēng ér táo de chōng dòng le 。
在那一瞬间，甚至有望风而逃的冲动了。
With a hand gesture in mid-air, he unleashed a torrent of spiritual light, his power surging like a flood. The仙剑图 slowly unfolded, emitting a vibrant green glow and releasing the essence of dao from its surface.
kě tā bìng méi yǒu zhè me zuò 。
可他并没有这么做。
This was an unparalleled divine treasure!
yī lái zhè lǐ huán jìng tè shū ， nǎi shì xuè yuè mó chán de zhēn líng kōng jiān ， gēn jiù táo wú kě táo ， duǒ wú kě duǒ 。
一来这里环境特殊，乃是血月魔蟾的真灵空间，根就逃无可逃，躲无可躲。
Stone Elder Dryness's eyes widened as he realized that Lin Xuan was not just pretending to be weak. The presence of dao was unmistakable; this item was undoubtedly a先天灵宝.
èr lái tā xīn zhōng yě cún yǒu yí huò ， lín xiǎo zi suī fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， guī gēn jié dǐ ， yě jǐn jǐn shì dù jié chū qī de cún zài bà le 。
二来他心中也存有疑惑，林小子虽非同小可，归根结底，也仅仅是渡劫初期的存在罢了。
With this realization, his face turned pale. He dreaded the worst.
xiān tiān zhī wù ， fàng yǎn líng jiè nà yě shì qū zhǐ kě shǔ ， nǎ pà shì dù jié hòu qī de lǎo guài wù ， jué dà bù fèn yě bù céng yōng yǒu de 。
先天之物，放眼灵界那也是屈指可数，哪怕是渡劫后期的老怪物，绝大部分也不曾拥有的。
How could a mere初级渡劫 cultivator possess such a divine treasure?
zhè lín xiǎo zi zhēn yǒu zhè yàng de gǒu shǐ yùn me ， huì bú huì shì zì jǐ nòng cuò ， ruò shì xū jīng yī cháng nà xiào huà kě jiù nào dà le 。
这林小子真有这样的狗屎运么，会不会是自己弄错，若是虚惊一场那笑话可就闹大了。
But it was too late for regrets now. The pressing issue was how to handle the current crisis. Lin Xuan's abilities were already formidable; with the仙剑图, he seemed invincible. How could Stone Elder Dryness possibly turn danger into safety?
yī niàn zhì cǐ ， kū shí wēng yòu yǒu xiē yóu yù 。
一念至此，枯石翁又有些犹豫。
While this might sound easy in theory, putting it into practice would be incredibly difficult.
ér tā zài nà lǐ chí yí ， lín xuān què bú huì shǎ shǎ de fèng péi 。
而他在那里迟疑，林轩却不会傻傻的奉陪。
Stone Elder Dryness faced a decision. But Lin Xuan did not dwell on such matters. His hands traced mysterious patterns in mid-air, releasing spiritual light and surging power that poured into the treasures before him.
gāo shǒu guò zhāo ， zhǐ zhēng lí háo ， duì fāng zài nà lǐ jǔ qí bù dìng 。 wú xíng jiān yǐ shì fàn le dà cuò ， lín xuān liǎn sè píng hé ， méi yǔ jiān què shǎn guò yī sī hěn lì zhī sè 。
高手过招，只争厘毫，对方在那里举棋不定。无形间已是犯了大错，林轩脸色平和，眉宇间却闪过一丝狠厉之色。
The仙剑图 unfolded, emitting boundless sword intent.
yòu shǒu zài xū kōng zhōng huá guò ， bù dài fēn háo rén jiān yān huǒ ， ér suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， xiān jiàn tú huǎn huǎn de zhǎn kāi le ， zhǐ jiàn biǎo miàn cuì máng pēn bó ， yǒu sī sī fǎ zé zhī lì zhàn fàng ér chū ， dào de qì xī zài yóu qí biǎo miàn liú zhuǎn ér chū 。
右手在虚空中划过，不带分毫人间烟火，而随着他的动作，仙剑图缓缓的展开了，只见表面翠芒喷薄，有丝丝法则之力绽放而出，道的气息在由其表面流转而出。
Yes, sword intent!
cǐ nǎi wú shàng shén wù ！
此乃无上神物！
At that moment, he felt as if he had grasped the essence of dao, harmonizing with nature. The先天灵宝 truly lived up to its name; this item alone could overshadow any treasure.
kū shí wēng dèng dà le yǎn zhū 。 ruò shuō gāng gāng xīn zhōng hái yǒu yí huò ， yǐ wéi lín xuān shì zài bàn zhū chī hǔ 。
枯石翁瞪大了眼珠。若说刚刚心中还有疑惑，以为林轩是在扮猪吃虎。
A vibrant green glow flickered on the opened scroll, revealing nine towering peaks.
nà jīng lì le zhè yí mù ， tā xīn zhōng zé jī hū kě yǐ què dìng le 。
那经历了这一幕，他心中则几乎可以确定了。
Nine in total—while the original Mountain and Solar Bird Diagram featured twelve peaks, several had vanished.
zhè bǎi fēn zhī bǎi shì xiān tiān líng bǎo méi cuò ， xiān jiàn tú tā suī rán bù céng tīng shuō ， rán ér dào de qì xī shì piàn bù liǎo rén de 。 yǔ zì rán fǎ zé xiāng hé ， zhè jué duì shì xiān tiān líng wù 。
这百分之百是先天灵宝没错，仙剑图他虽然不曾听说，然而道的气息是骗不了人的。与自然法则相合，这绝对是先天灵物。
These remaining peaks were now lush and verdant, teeming with vitality. The scenery was breathtaking.
jiāng zhè yì diǎn rèn qīng chǔ ， tā de liǎn sè shuā de yī xià bái le 。
将这一点认清楚，他的脸色刷的一下白了。
The three-footed golden bird disappeared, replaced by boundless sword intent that seemed to encompass the entire universe.
zuì pà shén me què piān yào lái shén me 。
最怕什么却偏要来什么。
"Quickly!"
zhè lín xiǎo zi bù guò dù jié chū qī ， zěn me kě néng yōng yǒu zhè yàng de shén wù ？
这林小子不过渡劫初期，怎么可能拥有这样的神物？
Lin Xuan pointed his finger forward. Divine light surged forth, nine divine mountains materialized, and a torrent of rule-like energy erupted, collapsing the void.
rán ér xiàn zài zài zhuī jiū zhè xiē yǐ jīng méi yǒu yì yì le 。
然而现在再追究这些已经没有意义了。
This was no ordinary attack.
rú jīn bǎi zài yǎn qián zuì zhòng yào de nán tí ， shì rú hé jiāng yǎn qián de wēi jī yìng fù guò qù 。
如今摆在眼前最重要的难题，是如何将眼前的危机应付过去。
Mysterious celestial sounds emerged, like the ringing of a great bell. Wherever they passed, even the primordial qi of heaven and earth bowed to them. Columns of light shot out from the peaks in various colors—red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet.
lín xiǎo zi shén tōng yuán jiù bù sú ， yōng yǒu xiān tiān líng bǎo zhī hòu ， shuō rú hǔ tiān yì 。 nà shì yì diǎn yě bù wèi guò ， zì jǐ yào zěn me cái néng gòu huà xiǎn wéi yí ？
林小子神通原就不俗，拥有先天灵宝之后，说如虎添翼。那是一点也不为过，自己要怎么才能够化险为夷？
These columns slowly drifted, forming colorful light clouds filled with auspicious energy. Each cloud transformed into several divine swords.
cǐ shì shuō shuō róng yì ， zhēn yào zuò ， què shì qiān nán wàn nán dì 。
此事说说容易，真要做，却是千难万难地。
Their shapes varied, their sizes different, but each sword was terrifying, imbued with the essence of dao and pulsating with rule-like energy that made one's heart race.
kū shí wēng miàn lín zhe jué zé 。 lín xuān què méi yǒu xiǎng nà me duō 。
枯石翁面临着抉择。林轩却没有想那么多。
"Go!"
tā de shuāng shǒu zài xū kōng zhōng huá guò shén mì de guǐ jì ， diǎn diǎn líng máng sǎ luò ， fǎ lì pēng pài ， rú jué dī zhī shuǐ 。 xiōng yǒng ér lái ， mò rù shēn qián de bǎo wù lǐ miàn 。
他的双手在虚空中划过神秘的轨迹，点点灵芒洒落，法力澎湃，如决堤之水。汹涌而来，没入身前的宝物里面。
Lin Xuan pointed his finger again, sending a deafening crack through the air as countless sword rays tore through the void and fiercely shot towards him.
xiān jiàn tú zhǎn kāi 。 wú qióng de jiàn yì cóng lǐ miàn chuān tòu chū lái 。
仙剑图展开。无穷的剑意从里面穿透出来。
Stone Elder Dryness's pupils constricted. His expression was grim.
méi cuò ， jiàn yì ！
没错，剑意！
Such an intense attack would be difficult to evade or block even at full strength; he had suffered severe injuries that had not yet healed.
zài nà yī kè ， fǎng fú tǐ huì dào le dà dào de fǎ zé ， yǔ zì rán xiāng hé ， xiān tiān líng bǎo guǒ rán fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， cǐ wù yī chū ， shén me bǎo bèi dōu yào wèi zhī shī sè 。
在那一刻，仿佛体会到了大道的法则，与自然相合，先天灵宝果然非同小可，此物一出，什么宝贝都要为之失色。
Was this his end?
wéi jiàn yī tuán cuì máng zài dǎ kāi de huà zhóu shàng shǎn dòng bù yǐ 。
唯见一团翠芒在打开的画轴上闪动不已。
He was unwilling to accept it, but what could he do? The situation was dire indeed.
jiǔ zuò dà xiǎo bù yī de shān fēng xiǎn yǎn yǐ jí 。
九座大小不一的山峰显眼以极。
However, sitting idly and waiting for death was impossible. He must fight!
méi cuò ， jiǔ zuò ， yuán shān yuè jīn wū tú shàng de shān fēng yī gòng yǒu shí èr zuò zhī duō ， rú jīn què píng kōng shǎo le yī xiē 。
没错，九座，原山岳金乌图上的山峰一共有十二座之多，如今却凭空少了一些。
Stone Elder Dryness's face twisted with determination. With a deep breath, he curled into a massive rock, the ground erupting with countless rocks that enveloped him.
ér qiě zhè xiē shān fēng quán dōu biàn dé cāng cuì bì lǜ ， chōng mǎn le bó bó de shēng jī 。
而且这些山峰全都变得苍翠碧绿，充满了勃勃的生机。
He transformed into a colossal stone, its size indescribable; even a mountain would seem puny in comparison.
fēng jǐng xiù měi wú bǐ 。
风景秀美无比。
Lin Xuan frowned. Such defense was formidable. His extensive experience in combat had never encountered anything like it.
sān zú jīn wū bú jiàn le zōng jì ， qǔ ér dài zhī de shì wú jìn de jiàn yì ， fǎng fú jiāng tiān dì dōu yào náng kuò jìn qù 。
三足金乌不见了踪迹，取而代之的是无尽的剑意，仿佛将天地都要囊括进去。
But what did it matter? Did he think this could stop his先天灵宝?
“ jí ！”
“疾！”
Beside him, the black phoenix demoness and bald giant were also in dire straits. Lin Xuan could not afford to delay; if both of them fell, the balance of power might shift against him.
lín xuān yī zhǐ xiàng qián diǎn qù 。
林轩一指向前点去。
With a deep breath, he poured more spiritual energy into the fray.
shén máng dà zuò ， nà jiǔ zuò shén shān fú xiàn ér chū ， yī gǔ gǔ fǎ zé zhī lì pēng pài xiōng yǒng ， xū kōng tā xiàn zhuì luò ， xiān tiān líng bǎo guǒ rán fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。
神芒大做，那九座神山浮现而出，一股股法则之力澎湃汹涌，虚空塌陷坠落，先天灵宝果然非同小可。
The rule-like energy surged, making the sword light even sharper.
rán ér zhè hái bú shì zuì kě pà de 。
然而这还不是最可怕的。
Crushed stone rained down like jade, and the rock shield in mid-air was larger than any mountain. However, under the divine might of the先天灵宝, it crumbled like tofu.
shén mì de tiān yīn fú xiàn ， rú hóng zhōng dà lǚ ， suǒ guò zhī chù ， lián tiān dì yuán qì dōu yào ràng bù ， yī dào dào guāng zhù yóu shān dǐng zhōng pēn yǒng ér chū 。
神秘的天音浮现，如洪钟大吕，所过之处，连天地元气都要让步，一道道光柱由山顶中喷涌而出。
Stone Elder Dryness's figure reappeared, his expression filled with despair.
chì chéng huáng lǜ qīng lán zǐ ， nà xiē guāng zhù de yán sè gè bù xiāng tóng 。
赤橙黄绿青蓝紫，那些光柱的颜色各不相同。
Mistaken move!
huǎn huǎn piāo zhuǎn ， wǔ yán liù sè de guāng xiá fú xiàn ， ruì qì wàn qiān ， suí hòu měi yī dào guāng xiá ， huà wèi le shù bǐng xiān jiàn 。
缓缓飘转，五颜六色的光霞浮现，瑞气万千，随后每一道光霞，化为了数柄仙剑。
He had known the power of先天灵宝 would be formidable, but he never imagined it would reach such a level.
xíng zhuàng bù yī ， dà xiǎo gè yì ， dàn měi yī bǐng xiān jiàn dōu kě pà wú bǐ ， yùn hán yǒu dào de qì xī ， liú tǎng zhe lìng rén xīn jì de fǎ zé zhī lì 。
形状不一，大小各异，但每一柄仙剑都可怕无比，蕴含有道的气息，流淌着令人心悸的法则之力。
It was beyond his means to save himself now.
“ qù ！”
“去！”
"Friend, spare me. I am willing..."
lín xuān zài cì yī zhǐ xiàng qián diǎn chū ， lìng rén xīn jì de pò kōng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， wàn qiān jiàn máng ， jiāng xū kōng sī pò ， hěn hěn cháo zhe duì fāng jī shè guò qù le 。
林轩再次一指向前点出，令人心悸的破空声传入耳朵，万千剑芒，将虚空撕破，狠狠朝着对方激射过去了。
His long life made him fear death even more. This cunning old man, who could grasp and release, saw the situation turn against him and began begging Lin Xuan for mercy.
This thought flashed through his mind, and his face turned ashen white.
If it were a regular cultivator at the初级渡劫 stage, they would mostly only hear about先天之物 but rarely see them in person. As such, their understanding of these items was merely hearsay, making it difficult to grasp their true power.
