Lin Xuan was not sure about the reason behind it, nor did he delve into it deeply. *.*.
lín xuān bù qīng chǔ ， tā yě méi yǒu qù shēn jiū zhè ge 。*.*。
林轩不清楚，他也没有去深究这个。*.*。
He had come here to seek treasures, not to solve puzzles.
zì jǐ lái dào cǐ dì ， shì wèi le xún bǎo ， ér bú shì jiě mì 。
自己来到此地，是为了寻宝，而不是解密。
Regardless of why, as long as he could safely obtain the true immortal's left-behind treasure, that would suffice.
guǎn tā yuán yīn rú hé ， zhǐ yào píng ān wú shì de dé dào zhēn xiān liú xià lái de yí bǎo jiù hǎo 。
管他原因如何，只要平安无事的得到真仙留下来的遗宝就好。
With this thought in mind, Lin Xuan continued walking towards the palace interior.
niàn jí zhì cǐ ， lín xuān jì xù cháo gōng diàn lǐ zǒu qù 。
念及至此，林轩继续朝宫殿里走去。
Along the way, he encountered some stone puppet attacks. However, they were futile. Even if these items were forged by a true immortal, their essence was limited to the Profound Void stage, which posed no real threat to him.
yī lù shàng ， yòu yù jiàn le yī xiē shí rén kuǐ lěi de tōu xí 。
一路上，又遇见了一些石人傀儡的偷袭。
Apart from these minor obstacles, everything went smoothly.
rán ér méi yǒu yòng tú ， nǎ pà shì zhēn xiān suǒ liàn zhī wù ， guī gēn jié dǐ ， zhǐ yǒu dòng xuán qī ， zhè yàng de shí lì ， zì rán shì bù kě néng duì lín xuān zào chéng shén me wēi xié dì 。
然而没有用途，哪怕是真仙所炼之物，归根结底，只有洞玄期，这样的实力，自然是不可能对林轩造成什么威胁地。
After half a cup of tea's worth of time, Lin Xuan arrived at the palace interior. The area was only a thousand feet or so in size, smaller than he had imagined.
chú cǐ yǐ wài ， zài wú zǔ gé ， rú cǐ yī lái ， yě suàn shì fēi cháng de shùn lì le 。
除此以外，再无阻隔，如此一来，也算是非常的顺利了。
There wasn't much inside; it was almost bare except for one table and chair.
lín xuān huā fèi le xiǎo bàn zhǎn chá de gōng fu ， lái dào gōng diàn de nèi bù 。
林轩花费了小半盏茶的功夫，来到宫殿的内部。
The table held nothing else but an ancient jade cylinder lying quietly there, giving off an air of long-standing antiquity.
miàn jī bù guò qiān zhàng yú ， bǐ zì jǐ xiǎng xiàng de ， hái yào xiǎo shàng yī xiē 。
面积不过千丈余，比自己想象的，还要小上一些。
Lin Xuan showed no signs of disappointment as he walked past. Although the item didn’t look like a trap, Lin Xuan still extended his divine sense to ensure it was safe before picking up the jade cylinder.
lǐ miàn de dōng xī bù duō ， kě yǐ shuō yī lǎn wú yú 。
里面的东西不多，可以说一览无余。
True immortals' left-behind treasures were naturally significant. He just had no idea what they contained.
fàng yǎn wàng qù ， jǐn yǒu yī zhuō yī yǐ 。
放眼望去，仅有一桌一椅。
Was it a cultivation technique?
zhuō zi shàng bié wú tā wù ， yí gè gǔ piáo de yù tóng jiǎn jìng jìng de zài nà lǐ tǎng zhe ， gěi rén de gǎn jué ， fǎng fú shì jīng guò le héng gǔ de suì yuè 。
桌子上别无他物，一个古朴的玉瞳简静静的在那里躺着，给人的感觉，仿佛是经过了恒古的岁月。
A secret art?
lín xuān liǎn shàng bìng wú shī wàng zhī sè ， huǎn huǎn de zǒu guò qù le 。
林轩脸上并无失望之色，缓缓的走过去了。
Or something else?
suī rán kàn shàng qù bù xiàng yǒu xiàn jǐng de yàng zi ， dàn lín xuān yī jiù jiāng shén shí fàng le chū qù ， què dìng bié wú tā wù ， suí hòu cái jiāng nà yù tóng jiǎn qǔ dào shǒu lǐ 。
虽然看上去不像有陷阱的样子，但林轩依旧将神识放了出去，确定别无他物，随后才将那玉瞳简取到手里。
Lin Xuan took a deep breath as he felt a twinge of tension in his heart.
zhēn xiān liú xià lái de yí wù ， zì rán shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。
真仙留下来的遗物，自然是非同小可。
If it was a cultivation technique, things would be awkward for him at this stage. After all, he had already mastered the Moonlit Black Witch Art, and his current cultivation phase was the Tribulation Transcending Stage. It was highly unlikely that he would change his primary cultivation method now.
jiù bù zhī dào lǐ miàn jì zǎi de wèi hé wù 。
就不知道里面记载的为何物。
Changing techniques haphazardly could only lead to losses.
gōng fǎ ？
功法？
Thus, a cultivation technique held no value for him.
mì shù ？
秘术？
However, if it were a secret art, that would be perfect.
hái shì bié de dōng xī ？
还是别的东西？
Unlike cultivation techniques, secret arts merely involved the application of spiritual energy. Even though his and this true immortal's teachings might differ, he could still use some of their abilities.
lín xuān shēn shēn hū xī ， tā de xīn zhōng yě yǒng dòng qǐ yī lǚ jǐn zhāng zhī yì 。。
林轩深深呼吸，他的心中也涌动起一缕紧张之意。。
As for divine secrets, they had immense power and would greatly enhance his strength once mastered.
ruò shì gōng fǎ ， jiù zì jǐ xiàn zài de qíng kuàng kě yǒu xiē gān gà 。
若是功法，就自己现在的情况可有些尴尬。
With these thoughts in mind, Lin Xuan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, showing a hint of anticipation on his face.
yào zhī dào ， zì jǐ xiū liàn de mò yuè tiān wū jué fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， rú jīn xiū wèi dào le dù jié qī ， yì bān qíng kuàng xià ， gèng bù kě néng zài gēng huàn zhǔ xiū gōng fǎ 。
要知道，自己修炼的墨月天巫诀非同小可，如今修为到了渡劫期，一般情况下，更不可能再更换主修功法。
After double-checking to ensure the jade cylinder was just an ordinary treasure without any tampering, he placed it against his forehead and let his divine sense sink into it.
zhāo sān mù sì ， nà yàng zuò zhǐ huì dé bù cháng shī 。
朝三暮四，那样做只会得不偿失。
...
suǒ yǐ gōng fǎ duì zì jǐ lái shuō 。 gēn běn jiù méi yǒu yòng tú 。
所以功法对自己来说。根本就没有用途。
A series of large characters appeared before him. They flowed like dragons and phoenixes, exuding an ancient aura.
jiǎ rú shì mì shù ， zé zài hǎo bù guò 。
假如是秘术，则再好不过。
This was a very old script that Lin Xuan recognized but found difficult to read. He could only grasp the general meaning.
yǔ gōng fǎ bù tóng ， shén tōng mì shù ， zhǐ shì líng lì de yùn yòng fāng shì ， nǎ pà zì jǐ yǔ zhè wèi zhēn xiān suǒ xué bìng bù xiāng tóng ， tā de yī xiē shén tōng ， yě kě yǐ ná guò lái yòng 。
与功法不同，神通秘术，只是灵力的运用方式，哪怕自己与这位真仙所学并不相同，他的一些神通，也可以拿过来用。
However, what surprised Lin Xuan was that this wasn’t a cultivation technique or secret art; it was more akin to a diary, recording some of this true immortal's experiences.
ér xiān jiā mì shù ， wēi lì zì rán shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， xué huì zhī hòu ， duì zì jǐ de shí lì huì dà yǒu bāng zhù 。
而仙家秘术，威力自然是非同小可，学会之后，对自己的实力会大有帮助。
Lin Xuan was intrigued by this discovery and quickly read through it. His eyes widened in shock as he realized something about the Blue Star Sea.
niàn jí zhì cǐ 。 lín xuān tūn le yī kǒu tuò mò ， liǎn shàng yě bù yóu de fú xiàn chū yī lǚ qī dài zhī sè 。
念及至此。林轩吞了一口唾沫，脸上也不由得浮现出一缕期待之色。
The Blue Star Sea turned out to be a divine object.
zuì hòu zài jiǎn chá le yī biàn ， què dìng zhè yù tóng jiǎn zhǐ shì pǔ tōng de bǎo wù 。 bìng méi yǒu bèi zuò xià shǒu jiǎo ， yú shì lín xuān jiāng qí ná qǐ ， tiē yú é tóu ， shén shí chén rù 。
最后再检查了一遍，确定这玉瞳简只是普通的宝物。并没有被做下手脚，于是林轩将其拿起，贴于额头，神识沉入。
But if that were the case, Lin Xuan wasn't surprised at all. After all, the origin of the star sea itself was somewhat mysterious, and its uses were virtually endless.
……
……
As a Tribulation Transcender, he had access to the most exquisite treasures in the spiritual realm. Based on his experience, such a treasure would not naturally appear in the spiritual world.
yí gè gè dòu dà de jīn zì fú xiàn ér chū 。
一个个斗大的金字浮现而出。
Thus, it made sense that this divine object came from the divine realm.
lóng fēi fèng wǔ ， gǔ piáo de qì xī fú xiàn ér chū 。
龙飞凤舞，古朴的气息浮现而出。
He couldn't help but recall meeting the Moonlit Witch girl in the lost plane. From her, Lin Xuan had also heard about the secret of the Blue Star Sea and how its discovery had led to the decline of the Moonlit Clan.
zhè shì yī zhǒng jí wéi gǔ lǎo de wén zì 。 hǎo zài lín xuān dào yě rèn shí ， bù guò kàn dé jí wéi chī lì ， zhǐ néng jiāng dà gài de yì si nòng dǒng ér yǐ 。
这是一种极为古老的文字。好在林轩倒也认识，不过看得极为吃力，只能将大概的意思弄懂而已。
However, the true origin of the Blue Star Sea was unclear to Snow Spirit. According to his memory, when the Moonlit Goddess of Witchery obtained the Blue Star Sea during a trip to another plane, she mentioned that it was an extraordinary treasure but didn't elaborate on how or why.
rán ér ràng lín xuān chà yì de shì ， zhè bìng fēi gōng fǎ ， yě bú shì mì shù ， ér shì yī piān lèi sì yú rì jì yī yàng de dōng xī 。 jì zǎi le zhè wèi zhēn xiān de yī xiē jīng lì 。
然而让林轩诧异的是，这并非功法，也不是秘术，而是一篇类似于日记一样的东西。记载了这位真仙的一些经历。
Later, news leaked out, and powerful beings from various planes coveted it, leading to disaster for the Moonlit Clan. The consequences were dire, and they eventually vanished into thin air.
lín xuān chà yì zhī yú ， dào yě pǒ yǒu xìng qù ， ér kàn le zhī hòu 。。 què dà jīng shī sè 。
林轩诧异之余，倒也颇有兴趣，而看了之后。。却大惊失色。
Initially, Lin Xuan had his suspicions, which were now confirmed by this true immortal's diary.
zhè piān rì jì zhōng ， jū rán tí dào le yī xiē yǔ lán sè xīng hǎi yǒu guān de dōng xī 。
这篇日记中，居然提到了一些与蓝色星海有关的东西。
The Blue Star Sea indeed originated from the divine realm.
lán sè xīng hǎi ， jū rán shì xiān jiā zhī wù 。
蓝色星海，居然是仙家之物。
Somehow, it was lost and ended up in the lower planes, where there were countless realms beyond just the spiritual, demonic, and阴司界.
bù guò ruò shì rú cǐ ， lín xuān dào yě háo bù xī qí 。
不过若是如此，林轩倒也毫不稀奇。
Each plane was vast. True immortals weren't all-powerful; they didn’t know where the Blue Star Sea had gone.
bì jìng xīng hǎi de lái lì ， yuán běn jiù yǒu xiē shén mì 。 zhì yú qí zuò yòng ， nà gèng shì miào yòng wú qióng dì 。
毕竟星海的来历，原本就有些神秘。至于其作用，那更是妙用无穷地。
After some time, news of the Moonlit Clan obtaining the Blue Star Sea spread in the spiritual realm.
lín xuān yǐ shì dù jié jí bié de xiū xiān zhě 。 néng jiē chù dào líng jiè zuì dǐng jiān de shì wù ， gēn jù tā de jīng yàn lái shuō ， líng jiè shì bù tài kě néng chū xiàn zhè yàng de bǎo wù 。
林轩已是渡劫级别的修仙者。能接触到灵界最顶尖的事物，根据他的经验来说，灵界是不太可能出现这样的宝物。
Thus, this true immortal descended to the lower planes.
nà shì xiān jiè liú chuán xià lái de yě jiù shùn lǐ chéng zhāng le 。
那是仙界流传下来的也就顺理成章了。
No, according to the diary, three true immortals came down with him.
tā bù yóu de xiǎng qǐ zài shī luò de jiè miàn zhī shí ， yù jiàn nà wèi mò yuè zú de shào nǚ ， cóng duì fāng de kǒu lǐ ， lín xuān tóng yàng tīng shuō le lán sè xīng hǎi de mì mì 。
他不由得想起在失落的界面之时，遇见那位墨月族的少女，从对方的口里，林轩同样听说了蓝色星海的秘密。
Unfortunately, they arrived too late; the Moonlit Clan was already destroyed. The three true immortals were both shocked and angry but their immense strength gave them an advantage over lesser beings in the lower realms.
shèn zhì mò yuè zú zhī suǒ yǐ shuāi luò ， yě yǔ lán sè xīng hǎi dà yǒu guān xì 。
甚至墨月族之所以衰落，也与蓝色星海大有关系。
They discovered that the Blue Star Sea had been obtained by a Heavenly Demon Lord from beyond the planes.
kě zhè jiàn bǎo wù zuì chū de lái lì ， xuě líng què shì yǔ yān bù xiáng dì 。
可这件宝物最初的来历，雪灵却是语焉不详地。
While others feared the域外天魔, true immortals couldn’t back down. Although the Heavenly Demon Lord was formidable, he still posed a threat to their level of existence.
tā dāng chū de jiǎng shù ， lín xuān jì de hěn qīng chǔ ， zhǐ shuō tiān wū shén nǚ zài yī cì wài chū qù qí tā jiè miàn yuǎn yóu de shí hòu ， jī yuán qiǎo hé ， dé dào le yī jiàn bù dé le de bǎo wù ， nà jiù shì lán sè xīng hǎi 。
她当初的讲述，林轩记得很清楚，只说天巫神女在一次外出去其他界面远游的时候，机缘巧合，得到了一件不得了的宝物，那就是蓝色星海。
But they wouldn't retreat; the Blue Star Sea’s value made it worth risking everything.
kě zěn me dé dào de ， yòu shì rú hé dé dào de ， tiān wū shén nǚ dōu bù céng tí guò 。
可怎么得到的，又是如何得到的，天巫神女都不曾提过。
So, the three true immortals ventured into the domain of the Heavenly Demon Lord and after much hardship, finally obtained the Blue Star Sea.
hòu lái xiāo xī bù xiǎo xīn xiè lòu ， guǒ rán yǐn qǐ le gè dà jiè miàn qiáng zhě de jì yú ， mò yuè zú yě yīn cǐ ， zhāo lái dà huò ， yī zhe bù shèn mǎn pán jiē shū ， cóng cǐ huī fēi yān miè diào le 。
后来消息不小心泄漏，果然引起了各大界面强者的觊觎，墨月族也因此，招来大祸，一着不慎满盘皆输，从此灰飞烟灭掉了。
However, the price was steep. The Heavenly Demon Lord wasn’t easily provoked; he could even take a true immortal's soul. His two companions had fallen.
qǐ chū ， lín xuān jiù yǒu yí huò ， rú jīn cóng zhēn xiān de rì jì zhōng ， zhōng yú dé dào yìn zhèng le 。
起初，林轩就有疑惑，如今从真仙的日记中，终于得到印证了。
Lin Xuan couldn't help but gasp at this revelation. As they say, great fame hides no mediocre people. The Heavenly Demon Lord’s reputation was indeed formidable, causing the deaths of two true immortals. His strength was truly astonishing.
lán sè xīng hǎi ， guǒ rán shì cóng xiān jiè liú chuán xià lái 。
蓝色星海，果然是从仙界流传下来。
This divine being, as the sole survivor, suffered severe injuries. He fought with all his might and finally escaped with the Blue Star Sea from the domain of the Heavenly Demon Lord.
hòu lái bù zhī dào zěn me ， què yòu yí shī ， mò míng qí miào de liú luò dào xià jiè qù 。
后来不知道怎么，却又遗失，莫名其妙的流落到下界去。
Originally, he planned to return to the divine realm but ended up in the spiritual realm due to a mistake.
ér xiāng duì yú xiān jiè lái shuō ， xià jiè kě bù jǐn jǐn zhǐ yǒu líng jiè 、 mó jiè hái yǒu yīn sī jiè sān gè 。
而相对于仙界来说，下界可不仅仅只有灵界、魔界还有阴司界三个。
Fortunately, this outcome was acceptable.
ér shì yǒu chéng qiān shàng wàn zhī duō 。
而是有成千上万之多。
However, he never expected a cunning Heavenly Demon Lord to follow him.
měi yí gè jiè miàn ， miàn jī dōu fēi cháng de guǎng bó 。
每一个界面，面积都非常的广博。
In one-on-one combat, a true immortal had an advantage over a Heavenly Demon Lord. But that was during his peak; now, heavily injured, the situation wasn't favorable for the true immortal.
zhēn xiān yě bú shì wú suǒ bù néng de 。
真仙也不是无所不能的。
But he couldn’t give up the Blue Star Sea. After a fierce battle, he finally vanquished the Heavenly Demon Lord but at great cost to himself, nearly reaching the brink of death.
shì fā cāng cù ， tā men yě bù zhī dào lán sè xīng hǎi liú luò dào nǎ lǐ qù le 。
事发仓促，他们也不知道蓝色星海流落到哪里去了。
