readx(); 一片小小的广场映入眼帘，广场后面，是一片琼楼玉宇般的建筑。
A small square appeared before Lin Xuan's eyes. Behind the square was a magnificent building, resembling palaces made of jade and crystal.
chū yī kàn ， yǔ lín xuān gāng cái lù guò què méi yǒu tíng liú de gōng shì bìng méi yǒu shén me bù tóng 。
初一看，与林轩刚才路过却没有停留的宫室并没有什么不同。
At first glance, it seemed no different from the palace rooms he had just passed by without stopping. However, precisely because of this similarity, it served as an effective illusion.
rán ér zhèng shì yīn wèi xiāng sì ， gù ér cái néng qǐ dào zhàng yǎn fǎ de zuò yòng 。
然而正是因为相似，故而才能起到障眼法的作用。
Based on clues gathered from bloodfire ants, Lin Xuan was almost certain that this place might be where True Immortal relics were located. Thus, he could not afford to take any chances.
tōng guò xuè huǒ yǐ zhēn chá suǒ huò dé de xiàn suǒ ， bǎi fēn zhī bǎi de bǎ wò bù gǎn shuō ， dàn zhè lǐ jí yǒu kě néng jiù shì zhēn xiān yí jì de suǒ zài zhī chù 。
通过血火蚁侦查所获得的线索，百分之百的把握不敢说，但这里极有可能就是真仙遗迹的所在之处。
Although the immortal had long since perished or left, his set restrictions remained formidable. Even with his current strength, a slip of attention could still endanger his life.
gù ér lín xuān bàn diǎn yě bù gǎn qīng hū 。
故而林轩半点也不敢轻忽。
While treasures certainly tempted him, they needed to be enjoyed, so Lin Xuan was naturally cautious.
suī rán nà wèi xiān rén zǎo yǐ yǔn luò ， huò zhě shì lí kāi le cǐ chù ， dàn tā suǒ shè xià de jìn zhì yī jiù shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， jí biàn yǐ zì jǐ rú jīn de shí lì ， ruò bù xiǎo xīn ， yě yǒu kě néng huì yǒu xìng mìng zhī yōu de 。
虽然那位仙人早已陨落，或者是离开了此处，但他所设下的禁制依旧是非同小可，即便以自己如今的实力，若不小心，也有可能会有性命之忧的。
Extending his spirit sense and scanning it with Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eyes revealed nothing amiss.
bǎo wù gù rán lìng rén xīn dòng ， dàn yě yào yǒu mìng xiǎng yòng cái kě ， gù ér yǐ lín xuān de xìng gé ， zì rán bú huì yǒu fēn háo dà yì de 。
宝物固然令人心动，但也要有命享用才可，故而以林轩的性格，自然不会有分毫大意的。
Lin Xuan walked forward. In the center of the square stood a copper furnace about as tall as a man. It looked dull and unremarkable.
jiāng shén shí fàng chū ， zài yòng tiān fèng shén mù sǎo guò ， dōu méi yǒu fā xiàn rèn hé de bù tuǒ 。
将神识放出，再用天凤神目扫过，都没有发现任何的不妥。
He knocked on it; a series of knocks echoed in his ears. The furnace was made from thousand-year-old copper essence, which Lin Xuan found nothing special.
yú shì lín xuān xiàng qián zǒu qù le 。
于是林轩向前走去了。
Without further ado, he bypassed the furnace and headed forward.
zài guǎng chǎng shàng ， yǒu yī rén xǔ gāo de tóng lú ， huī pū pū de ， méi yǒu fēn háo qǐ yǎn zhī chù 。
在广场上，有一人许高的铜炉，灰扑扑的，没有分毫起眼之处。
Soon, the square was left behind, and the magnificent buildings became more prominent.
lín xuān yòng shǒu qiāo le qiāo ， pēng pēng zhī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， zhè tóng lú shì yòng qiān nián tóng jīng zhù chéng de 。
林轩用手敲了敲，砰砰之声传入耳朵，这铜炉是用千年铜精铸成的。
This place might be where True Immortal relics were located. Which area should he explore first?
yǐ lín xuān de yǎn lì lái shuō ， wán quán suàn bù shàng shén me bǎo wù 。
以林轩的眼力来说，完全算不上什么宝物。
Lin Xuan rubbed his forehead in thought.
yú shì tā méi yǒu duō zuò dān gē ， rào guò tóng lú ， xiàng qián fāng zǒu guò qù le 。
于是他没有多做耽搁，绕过铜炉，像前方走过去了。
---
hěn kuài ， jiù jiāng nà zuò guǎng chǎng pāo zài hòu miàn ， nà xiē qióng lóu yù yǔ de jiàn zhù gèng jiā de yào mù xiǎn yǎn 。
很快，就将那座广场抛在后面，那些琼楼玉宇的建筑更加的耀目显眼。
At the same time, Blood Moon Demon Toad's situation differed from Lin Xuan's.
zhēn xiān yí jì hěn kě néng jiù zài cǐ chù ， jiū jìng yīng gāi xiān tàn xún nǎ yī chù ne ？
真仙遗迹很可能就在此处，究竟应该先探寻哪一处呢？
Entering the passage, it did not see a desert but found itself in an empty space.
lín xuān yǐ shǒu fǔ é ， xiàn rù le sī suǒ 。
林轩以手抚额，陷入了思索。
The passage was devoid of anything else; instead, there were over ten teleportation arrays floating around. These arrays varied in size and design, but their purpose remained unclear.
……
……
Compared to before, Blood Moon Demon Toad had shrunk significantly, no more than a few feet long. Its face displayed a confused expression, along with fear.
yǔ cǐ tóng shí 。
与此同时。
Indeed, it was fear!
xuè yuè mó chán de zāo yù yǔ lín xuān bìng bù xiāng tóng 。
血月魔蟾的遭遇与林轩并不相同。
As a true spirit, it lived for an extremely long time, its wisdom comparable to humans, even surpassing ordinary cultivators in many ways.
jìn rù nà tōng dào yǐ hòu ， tā méi yǒu kàn jiàn shén me huāng mò ， ér shì lái dào yī xū wú de kōng jiān zhī zhōng 。
进入那通道以后，它没有看见什么荒漠，而是来到一虚无的空间之中。
This did not mean that true spirits were smarter; rather, their longevity provided them with more experience. Thus, when faced with choices, they naturally made wiser decisions.
tōng dào zhī zhōng bié wú tā wù 。 ér shì yǒu shí yú gè chuán sòng zhèn xuán fú 。
通道之中别无他物。而是有十余个传送阵悬浮。
However, the current situation was dire. Among so many teleportation arrays, only one led to a True Immortal's relic, while the rest were undoubtedly traps.
zhè xiē chuán sòng zhèn dà xiǎo bù yī ， shì yàng què shì xiāng sì yǐ jí ， yě bù zhī dào jiū jìng tōng wǎng nǎ lǐ 。
这些传送阵大小不一，式样却是相似以极，也不知道究竟通往哪里。
This placed it in an extremely perilous situation. A wrong choice could mean certain death.
yǔ gāng gāng xiāng bǐ ， xuè yuè mó chán de shēn xíng suō xiǎo le xǔ duō 。 shēn cháng bù guò zhàng xǔ ， ér tā de liǎn shàng ， zé hěn nǐ rén huà de lù chū kùn huò zhī yì ， hái yǒu wèi jù 。
与刚刚相比，血月魔蟾的身形缩小了许多。身长不过丈许，而它的脸上，则很拟人化的露出困惑之意，还有畏惧。
What should it do...
méi cuò 。 jiù shì wèi jù ！
没错。就是畏惧！
Blood Moon Demon Toad was ruthless and combative but not reckless. It faced a difficult decision at this moment.
zuò wèi zhēn líng ， tā huó de suì yuè màn cháng yǐ jí ， zhì huì gèng shì kān yǔ rén lèi xiāng bǐ ， shèn zhì kě yǐ shuō ， yào chāo guò pǔ tōng xiū shì xǔ duō 。
做为真灵，它活的岁月漫长以极，智慧更是堪与人类相比，甚至可以说，要超过普通修士许多。
Of course, it would not make random choices. As a true spirit, besides its innate divine powers, the secret techniques it knew were formidable.
zhè dào bú shì shuō ， zhēn líng jiù bǐ rén cōng míng liǎo ， ér shì yīn wèi tā huó dé jiǔ ， suǒ yǐ jīng yàn gèng jiā fēng fù ， zài miàn lín xuǎn zé de shí hòu 。 zì rán yào gèng jiā cōng míng liǎo 。
这倒不是说，真灵就比人聪明了，而是因为它活得久，所以经验更加丰富，在面临选择的时候。自然要更加聪明了。
A strange light flashed in its eyes as Blood Moon Demon Toad opened its mouth.
rán ér yǎn qián de qíng kuàng 。 què shì bù lì dào jí chù 。 zhè me duō chuán sòng zhèn ， zhǐ yǒu yí gè shì zhēn xiān yí jì de rù kǒu ， qí tā de 。 bǎi fēn zhī bǎi shì xiàn jǐng lái zhe 。
然而眼前的情况。却是不利到极处。这么多传送阵，只有一个是真仙遗迹的入口，其他的。百分之百是陷阱来着。
This time, no "croak" sound was heard; instead, ancient and profound incantations poured out of its mouth.
rú cǐ yī lái ， zì jǐ miàn lín de chǔ jìng kě jiù fēi cháng xiōng xiǎn le 。
如此一来，自己面临的处境可就非常凶险了。
Reddish light flashed, and a dozen streaks of rainbow-colored light shot from the toad's body, vanishing instantly into the teleportation arrays like a stone thrown into deep water.
yí dàn xuǎn zé yǒu wù 。 duō bàn jiù huì shì jiǔ sǐ yì shēng de jié guǒ 。
一旦选择有误。多半就会是九死一生的结果。
The next moment, a mournful sound entered his ears. All the teleportation arrays activated simultaneously, blinding him with their light.
gāi zěn me bàn ne ……
该怎么办呢……
However, Blood Moon Demon Toad no longer showed confusion on its face. After probing, it felt the presence of divine spirits from one of the arrays.
xuè yuè mó chán cán rěn hào dòu méi cuò ， dàn què jué bú shì lǔ mǎng de jiā huo ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tā jiù miàn lín zhe lìng rén tóu téng de jué zé 。
血月魔蟾残忍好斗没错，但却绝不是鲁莽的家伙，此时此刻，它就面临着令人头疼的抉择。
Though faint, it trusted its senses; this was an opportunity not to be missed.
zhè jiā huo dāng rán bú huì suí biàn xuǎn zé ， shēn wèi zhēn líng ， chú le tiān fù shén tōng yǐ wài ， huì de mì shù ， nà yě shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。
这家伙当然不会随便选择，身为真灵，除了天赋神通以外，会的秘术，那也是非同小可。
Blood Moon Demon Toad flashed and arrived at the surface of the array it had chosen.
yǎn zhōng yì máng shǎn guò ， suí hòu xuè yuè mó chán jiāng zuǐ bā zhāng kāi le 。
眼中异芒闪过，随后血月魔蟾将嘴巴张开了。
A milky white light enveloped it, blurring his vision. Then he disappeared from sight.
rán ér zhè yī cì ， méi yǒu “ gū ” de jiào shēng chuán chū ， qǔ ér dài zhī de shì xuán miào gǔ piáo de zhòu yǔ cóng zhè jiā huo de zuǐ bā zhōng pēn bó 。
然而这一次，没有“呱”的叫声传出，取而代之的是玄妙古朴的咒语从这家伙的嘴巴中喷薄。
---
suí hòu xuè hóng sè de guāng máng shǎn guò ， yī lián shí yú dào xiá guāng cóng xuè yuè mó chán de shēn tǐ biǎo miàn pēn bó ， yī shǎn jí shì ， mò rù chuán sòng zhèn zhōng 。
随后血红色的光芒闪过，一连十余道霞光从血月魔蟾的身体表面喷薄，一闪即逝，没入传送阵中。
Lin Xuan did not know about all this. At that moment, he faced a choice as well.
rú ní niú rù hǎi ， xiāo shī bú jiàn 。
如泥牛入海，消失不见。
However, compared to Blood Moon Demon Toad, the danger was much less. If he were correct, these magnificent buildings should be True Immortal's abode, so there were no traps here.
xià yī kè ，“ wū wū ” de shēng xiǎng chuán rù ěr biān ， sī háo zhēng zhào yě wú ， suǒ yǒu de chuán sòng zhèn ， yì qǐ yùn zhuàn qǐ lái le 。
下一刻，“呜呜”的声响传入耳边，丝毫征兆也无，所有的传送阵，一起运转起来了。
Now, his task was simply to decide where to start exploring.
yī shí jiān guāng yùn pēn bó ， yào huā le rén de ěr mù 。
一时间光晕喷薄，耀花了人的耳目。
Examining the pavilions and terraces before him, Lin Xuan showed a thoughtful expression. By common sense, the largest palace should be the True Immortal's abode.
rán ér xuè yuè mó chán de liǎn shàng ， què zài wú mí máng zhī sè ， tōng guò gāng gāng de tàn cè ， tā yǐ jīng cóng qí zhōng yī zuò chuán sòng zhèn de biǎo miàn ， gǎn jué dào xiān líng de qì xī le 。
然而血月魔蟾的脸上，却再无迷茫之色，通过刚刚的探测，它已经从其中一座传送阵的表面，感觉到仙灵的气息了。
However, in cultivation realms, things did not always follow common sense.
hěn xī bó ， tā xiāng xìn zì jǐ de gǎn yìng bú huì yǒu cuò ， liáng jī bù róng cuò guò 。
很稀薄，它相信自己的感应不会有错，良机不容错过。
Lin Xuan found himself caught between two choices.
xuè yuè mó chán shēn xíng yī shǎn ， yǐ lái dào tā rèn dìng de de nà chuán sòng zhèn de biǎo miàn 。
血月魔蟾身形一闪，已来到它认定的的那传送阵的表面。
But time was of the essence.
suí hòu rǔ bái sè de guāng yùn pēn bó ， jiāng tā zhěng gè shēn tǐ bāo guǒ ， yǎn qián de jǐng wù yī zhèn mó hú ， suí hòu tā jiù cóng yuán dì xiāo shī le 。
随后乳白色的光晕喷薄，将它整个身体包裹，眼前的景物一阵模糊，随后它就从原地消失了。
A saying went that a small difference could lead to a big mistake. If Blood Moon Demon Toad gained an advantage and obtained the treasures left by the True Immortal, he would regret it deeply.
……
……
When in doubt, act decisively; this principle was clear to Lin Xuan. He was not one for hesitation, so he quickly made his choice and headed towards the building closest to him.
zhè yī qiè lín xuān bìng bù xiǎo de ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tā tóng yàng miàn lín zhe xuǎn zé 。
这一切林轩并不晓得，此时此刻，他同样面临着选择。
This was not the largest palace, but its aura still humbled him. It was indeed a relic left by a True Immortal.
zhǐ bù guò wēi xiǎn yǔ xuè yuè mó chán xiāng bǐ ， jiù yào xiǎo shàng xǔ duō ， rú guǒ méi yǒu nòng cuò ， yǎn qián de qióng lóu yù yǔ ， yīng gāi jiù shì zhēn xiān dòng fǔ ， suǒ yǐ bù cún zài xiàn jǐng yī shuō 。
只不过危险与血月魔蟾相比，就要小上许多，如果没有弄错，眼前的琼楼玉宇，应该就是真仙洞府，所以不存在陷阱一说。
Lin Xuan stepped inside.
rú jīn zì jǐ yào zuò de xuǎn zé ， jiù shì cóng hé chù kāi shǐ tàn xún bà le 。
如今自己要做的选择，就是从何处开始探寻罢了。
Suddenly, without warning, two bright sword lights appeared.
kàn zhuó yǎn qián de tíng tái lóu gé ， lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū jǐ fēn chén yín zhī sè ， cóng cháng lǐ fēn xī ， nà zuì wèi gāo dà gōng diàn ， yīng gāi shì zhēn xiān de dòng fǔ 。
看着眼前的亭台楼阁，林轩脸上露出几分沉吟之色，从常理分析，那最为高大宫殿，应该是真仙的洞府。
As white as snow, they moved incredibly fast, aimed at his head.
rán ér xiū xiān jiè de shì qíng ， què bù yí dìng néng àn cháng lǐ chuǎi mó 。
然而修仙界的事情，却不一定能按常理揣摩。
Despite the sudden change, Lin Xuan remained calm.
yī shí jiān ， lín xuān xiàn rù le liǎng nán zhī zhōng 。
一时间，林轩陷入了两难之中。
Raising his right hand, silver sword qi emerged from his sleeve and clashed with the sword light.
dàn shí jiān què róng bù dé tā dān gē 。
但时间却容不得他耽搁。
Zzzzt...
sú huà shuō chā zhī háo lí miù yǐ qiān lǐ ， ruò shì bèi xuè yuè mó chán qiǎng zhàn xiān jī ， huò dé le zhēn xiān liú xià lái de bǎo wù ， zì jǐ kě jiù hòu huǐ mò jí 。
俗话说差之毫厘谬以千里，若是被血月魔蟾抢占先机，获得了真仙留下来的宝物，自己可就后悔莫及。
The light flashed!
dāng duàn bù duàn fǎn shòu qí luàn ， zhè ge dào lǐ lín xuān xīn lǐ yǒu shù ， ér tā shēn ， gèng bú shì pó pó mā mā de xiū xiān zhě ， yú shì hěn kuài lín xuān jiù zuò chū le jué zé ， xiàng jù lí zì jǐ jiào jìn de yī dòng jiàn zhù zǒu guò qù le 。
当断不断反受其乱，这个道理林轩心里有数，而他身，更不是婆婆妈妈的修仙者，于是很快林轩就做出了抉择，像距离自己较近的一栋建筑走过去了。
Then the sword light was easily shattered.
zhè bìng fēi zuì dà de yī zuò diàn yǔ ， rán ér sàn fà chū lái de qì shì ， yī jiù lìng rén xīn zhé ， bù kuì shì zhēn xiān liú xià lái de yí wù 。
这并非最大的一座殿宇，然而散发出来的气势，依旧令人心折，不愧是真仙留下来的遗物。
Although the sword qi dimmed slightly, it did not stop. A "pfft" sound indicated another hit on something.
lín xuān mài bù zǒu jìn qù le 。
林轩迈步走进去了。
"What is this..."
tū rán ， sī háo zhēng zhào yě wú ， liǎng dào liàng lì de dāo guāng fú xiàn ér chū 。
突然，丝毫征兆也无，两道亮丽的刀光浮现而出。
Lin Xuan's pupils constricted as he saw two stone statues several feet tall lying on the ground. They had been shattered by the sword qi into pieces of varying sizes scattered around.
rú xuě yì bān liàng lì ， sù dù gèng shì kuài jí ， xiàng lín xuān de tóu lú pī kǎn ér qù 。
如雪一般亮丽，速度更是快极，像林轩的头颅劈砍而去。
Bending down to pick up an item, Lin Xuan's expression changed; he was both surprised and admiring. He muttered to himself: "Just ordinary stones with no special material properties. After being refined by a True Immortal, they can match the strength of a Profound Daoist. Truly remarkable."
biàn qǐ cāng cù ， lín xuān què bìng bù zháo jí 。
变起仓促，林轩却并不着急。
The myriad arts in cultivation had their unique strengths. Lin Xuan's knowledge spanned many areas, puppetry techniques included nothing new to him.
yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， yī xiù huī luò jiān shì liǎng dào yín sè de jiàn qì 。
右手抬起，衣袖挥落间是两道银色的剑气。
Puppet power depended on two factors: refining skills and materials used for puppets.
cī lā ……
刺啦……
He had already checked earlier; this puppet was made from ordinary rocks, yet it matched the strength of a Profound Daoist. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Lin Xuan would have found such a sight unbelievable. The True Immortal's puppet-making techniques were truly exquisite.
yǔ nà dāo guāng zhuàng zài yì qǐ 。
与那刀光撞在一起。
However, there was some surprise as well. With a True Immortal's power, gathering rare materials in the Spirit Realm should be easy. Why use ordinary rocks to make puppets?
líng guāng sì shè ！
灵光四射！
P.S.: Please consider giving me a recommendation vote, thank you!
A small square appeared before Lin Xuan's eyes. Behind the square was a magnificent building, resembling palaces made of jade and crystal.
At first glance, it seemed no different from the palace rooms he had just passed by without stopping. However, precisely because of this similarity, it served as an effective illusion.

Soon, the square was left behind, and the magnificent buildings became more prominent.

Lin Xuan rubbed his forehead in thought.
