zhì yú nà jǐ míng yāo zú ， jié guǒ yě xiāng chà fǎng fú ， píng xīn lái shuō ， dòng xuán qī cún zài yǐ suàn yī fāng qiáng zhě ， kě xī tā men yù jiàn de shì bǎo shé bīng pò 。
至于那几名妖族，结果也相差仿佛，平心来说，洞玄期存在已算一方强者，可惜他们遇见的是宝蛇冰魄。
As for the妖族, their fates were similar. To be fair, a Core Formation existence was already considered a formidable power in its own right. Unfortunately, they encountered the Treasure Snake Ice Soul.
zài zhēn mó shǐ zǔ de yǎn lǐ ， biàn shì pǔ tōng de dù jié qī lǎo guài wù ， yě bù guò ní sù zhǐ hú ， nà qū qū dòng xuán qī cún zài jiù gèng jiā bù zhí yī tí le 。
在真魔始祖的眼里，便是普通的渡劫期老怪物，也不过泥塑纸糊，那区区洞玄期存在就更加不值一提了。
In the eyes of the Primordial True Demon Ancestor, even ordinary Transcendence Period elders were mere clay figures and paper puppets. A Core Formation existence was even less worth mentioning.
bǎo shé xiǎng yào jiāng qí miè chú ， nán dào hái xū yào shǐ yòng shén me tè bié de zhāo shù ， gēn běn jiù shì yí niàn zhī jiān ， yí gè yǎn shén ， jiù zú yǐ ràng qí huī fēi yān miè diào le 。
宝蛇想要将其灭除，难道还需要使用什么特别的招数，根本就是一念之间，一个眼神，就足以让其灰飞烟灭掉了。
The Treasure Snake wanted to eliminate them; it didn't need any special techniques for that. It could be done with a single thought or glance.
shuō qǐ lái ， yě shì zhè lǎo zhě yǔ yāo zú dǎo méi ， bǎo shé bīng pò lái dào cǐ dì ， suī yǒu wàn jiāo wáng de qǐng jiǎn ， dàn shēn fèn bì jìng bù yí xiǎn lù ， fǒu zé ， fēi yǐn qǐ xuān rán dà bō 。
说起来，也是这老者与妖族倒霉，宝蛇冰魄来到此地，虽有万蛟王的请柬，但身份毕竟不宜显露，否则，非引起轩然大波。
Speaking of which, the old man and the妖族 were indeed unlucky. The Treasure Snake Ice Soul had arrived here despite having an invitation from the Ten Thousand Serpent King. However, revealing their true identities would cause a commotion. They had seen things they shouldn't have seen, so it was only fitting that they met with such a fate.
tā men jì rán kàn jiàn le bù gāi kàn de dōng xī ， yě jiù zhǐ yǒu zì tàn dǎo méi ， luò de bèi miè kǒu de xià chǎng ， yì diǎn dōu bù zú guài le 。
他们既然看见了不该看的东西，也就只有自叹倒霉，落得被灭口的下场，一点都不足怪了。
"Big Sister!"
“ jiě jiě ！”
“姐姐！”
For the Treasure Snake, what happened earlier was merely a trivial matter and not worth mentioning. What concerned her were other difficulties: "We've arrived here. Although my cultivation technique is powerful, we can't eliminate everyone's mouths. Big Sister once said there would be a solution. Please don't keep us waiting any longer."
duì yú bǎo shé lái shuō ， gāng cái bù guò shì wēi bù zú dào de yí mù ， bù zú wèi xǐ ， ràng tā shàng xīn de shì lìng wài de nán tí ：“ wǒ men yǐ jīng lái dào le zhè lǐ ， suī rán wǒ yǔ jiě jiě de gōng fǎ shén qí ， dàn yī lù guò qù ， nán miǎn bèi rén kàn pò xíng jì ， wǒ men zǒng bù néng jiāng suǒ yǒu de rén quán dōu miè kǒu ， jiě jiě céng shuō ， zì yǒu jiě jué de liáng cè ， xiàn zài ， hái qǐng bú yào mài guān zi le 。”
对于宝蛇来说，刚才不过是微不足道的一幕，不足为喜，让她上心的是另外的难题：“我们已经来到了这里，虽然我与姐姐的功法神奇，但一路过去，难免被人看破行迹，我们总不能将所有的人全都灭口，姐姐曾说，自有解决的良策，现在，还请不要卖关子了。”
It wasn't surprising that the Treasure Snake said this. As Primordial True Demons, even if they were skilled in concealment techniques, it was hard to achieve perfection.
yě nán guài bǎo shé huì zhè me shuō ， tā men liǎ shēn wèi zhēn mó shǐ zǔ ， jiù suàn jīng shàn shén me yǐn nì yì xíng zhī shù ， yě nán yǐ zuò dào tiān yī wú fèng 。
也难怪宝蛇会这么说，她们俩身为真魔始祖，就算精擅什么隐匿易形之术，也难以做到天衣无缝。
The Rain桐 Realm had many experts, and their identities could easily be uncovered. Although they had an invitation from the Ten Thousand Serpent King, they would still face significant trouble.
yǔ tóng jiè kě shì gāo shǒu zhòng duō ， shēn fèn nán miǎn bèi rén kàn pò ， suī shuō yǒu wàn jiāo wáng de qǐng jiǎn ， dàn yī jiù huì xiàn rù jí dà de má fán 。
雨桐界可是高手众多，身份难免被人看破，虽说有万蛟王的请柬，但依旧会陷入极大的麻烦。
This was a problem that had troubled her for a long time, but Ice Soul claimed she had a solution.
zhè yě shì yì zhí kùn rǎo tā de nán tí ， ér bīng pò què zì chéng yǒu jiě jué zhī cè 。
这也是一直困扰她的难题，而冰魄却自承有解决之策。
Unfortunately, she kept it to herself until now.
kě xī què yì zhí mài guān zi bù kěn shuō 。
可惜却一直卖关子不肯说。
Now that they were in Rain桐, there was no reason to continue hiding things.
xiàn zài ， yǐ lái dào yǔ tóng ， yú qíng yú lǐ ， zǒng bù kě néng jì xù yǐn mán xià qù le 。
现在，已来到雨桐，于情于理，总不可能继续隐瞒下去了。
Facing the Treasure Snake's doubts, Ice Soul wore a faint smile on her face: "As Primordial True Demons, our power is boundless. But because of this, we can't fully conceal ourselves. I know this well. However, if we take the 'Green Spirit Pearl,' we can temporarily pass as cultivators from the Spirit Realm."
miàn duì bǎo shé de zhì yí ， bīng pò liǎn shàng liú lù chū dàn dàn de xiào yì ：“ wǒ děng zhēn mó shǐ zǔ ， fǎ lì gāo shēn mò cè ， dàn yě yīn wèi zhè ge yuán gù ， fǎ lì nán yǐ jǐn liǎn 。 zhè ge dào lǐ ， wǒ qǐ huì bù xīn zhōng yǒu shù ， bù guò ruò shì fú xià ‘ qīng líng zhū ’， zì rán yě kě yǐ zàn qiě mào chōng líng jiè de xiū xiān zhě 。”
面对宝蛇的质疑，冰魄脸上流露出淡淡的笑意：“我等真魔始祖，法力高深莫测，但也因为这个缘故，法力难以尽敛。这个道理，我岂会不心中有数，不过若是服下‘青灵珠’，自然也可以暂且冒充灵界的修仙者。”
"Green Spirit Pearl? What kind of treasure is that? Can it make us look like ordinary cultivators and hide our demonic aura?" The Treasure Snake was surprised. She had never heard of such a treasure before.
“ qīng líng zhū ， nà shì shén me bǎo wù ， nán dào kě yǐ yǐ jiǎ luàn zhēn ， ràng wǒ děng shēn shàng de mó qì ， fēn háo duān ní bù lù ？” bǎo shé yǒu xiē jīng yà le ， yǐ tā jiàn wén guǎng bó ， zhè bǎo bèi què yě shì tóu yī cì tīng shuō 。
“青灵珠，那是什么宝物，难道可以以假乱真，让我等身上的魔气，分毫端倪不露？”宝蛇有些惊讶了，以她见闻广博，这宝贝却也是头一次听说。
Ice Soul smiled without replying.
bīng pò què xiào ér bù yǔ 。
冰魄却笑而不语。
Explaining now would be meaningless. It was better to demonstrate it herself.
zhè shí hòu jiě shì gēn běn jiù méi yǒu yì yì 。
这时候解释根本就没有意义。
She waved her jade hand, and a round bead the size of a dragon's eye appeared in her palm.
yǔ qí duō fèi chún shé 。 bù rú qīn shēn yǎn shì 。
与其多费唇舌。不如亲身演示。
It was light green, emitting a misty aura from its surface. Apart from that, there was nothing extraordinary about it.
dàn jiàn tā yù shǒu yī fú ， zhǎng xīn zhī zhōng dùn shí duō chū le yī lóng yǎn dà xiǎo de yuán zhū 。
但见她玉手一拂，掌心之中顿时多出了一龙眼大小的圆珠。
"This can conceal our demonic aura completely, but we can only use ten percent of our strength. This is why I waited until now to take it. If we were to suffer significant losses in power, we wouldn't be able to tear through space and arrive here so easily."
zuò dàn qīng sè ， biǎo miàn shàng ， sàn fà chū yīn yūn de líng qì ， chú cǐ yǐ wài ， dào yě méi yǒu shén me chū qí 。
做淡青色，表面上，散发出氤氲的灵气，除此以外，倒也没有什么出奇。
Ice Soul's voice sounded like a sigh as she swallowed the Green Spirit Pearl.
“ zhè dōng xī ， néng gòu liǎn jǐn wǒ men yī shēn de mó qì ， dàn nǐ wǒ de shí lì ， yě jiù zhǐ néng fā huī chū shí zhī yī èr ér yǐ 。 zhè yě shì wèi shén me ， wǒ zhí dào cǐ kè cái yǔ nǐ tūn fú ， yīn wèi wǒ men ruò shì shí lì dà sǔn de huà ， xiǎng yào sī liè kōng jiān 。 dào dá zhè lǐ ， kě jiù méi yǒu nà me róng yì 。”
“这东西，能够敛尽我们一身的魔气，但你我的实力，也就只能发挥出十之一二而已。这也是为什么，我直到此刻才与你吞服，因为我们若是实力大损的话，想要撕裂空间。到达这里，可就没有那么容易。”
Then, with her jade hand raised, she drew an intricate pattern in mid-air. Several mysterious纹阵 appeared faintly in the air.
bīng pò de shēng yīn xiàng shì tàn xī ， suí hòu yī yǎng tóu ， jiāng nà qīng líng zhū tūn luò jìn qù 。
冰魄的声音像是叹息，随后一仰头，将那青灵珠吞落进去。
As she moved, the milky white demonic aura surrounding her body surged and then disappeared into her body like a whale drinking water.
suí hòu cǐ nǚ yù shǒu tái qǐ 。 zài xū kōng zhōng huá guò qí yì de guǐ jì ， jǐ gè shén mì de wén zhèn ， ruò yǐn ruò xiàn de chū xiàn zài le bàn kōng lǐ 。
随后此女玉手抬起。在虚空中划过奇异的轨迹，几个神秘的纹阵，若隐若现的出现在了半空里。
A faint red color flashed across Ice Soul's face as all traces of demonic aura vanished from her surface. Even with her expertise in concealment techniques, nothing could match this effect.
suí zhe cǐ nǚ de dòng zuò 。 lǒng zhào zài tā shēn tǐ biǎo miàn de rǔ bái sè mó qì yī zhèn fān yǒng ， suí hòu rú zhǎng jīng xī shuǐ yì bān ， jǐn mò rù tā de shēn tǐ lǐ miàn 。
随着此女的动作。笼罩在她身体表面的乳白色魔气一阵翻涌，随后如长鲸吸水一般，尽没入她的身体里面。
There was still more to come.
bīng pò de liǎn shàng ， shǎn guò yī sī yān hóng zhī sè ， yuán běn shēn tǐ biǎo miàn de mó qì ， yǐ jīng yī sī yě wú ， tā suī rán jīng shàn gè zhǒng yǐn nì liǎn qì zhī shù ， dàn jué wú yī zhǒng ， yǒu zhè yàng hǎo de xiào guǒ 。
冰魄的脸上，闪过一丝殷红之色，原本身体表面的魔气，已经一丝也无，她虽然精擅各种隐匿敛气之术，但绝无一种，有这样好的效果。
She raised both hands, and an extremely pure essence qi suddenly burst forth from her body.
dàng zhēn shì fēn háo mó qì bù lù 。
当真是分毫魔气不露。
The essence qi was so pure that it contained no impurities at all.
ér zhè hái méi yǒu jié shù 。
而这还没有结束。
The Treasure Snake stared in amazement as she had never seen such a scene before with her own eyes.
zhǐ jiàn cǐ nǚ shuāng shǒu huī wǔ ， yī gǔ jīng chún yì cháng de líng qì tū rán yóu tā de shēn tǐ lǐ miàn hōng rán bó fā ér chū 。
只见此女双手挥舞，一股精纯异常的灵气突然由她的身体里面轰然勃发而出。
Ice Soul now looked spotless, far removed from the appearance of a Demon Ancestor. She seemed like a celestial maiden descending to earth.
nà líng qì chún cuì yǐ jí ， bù hán fēn háo zá zhì 。
那灵气纯粹以极，不含分毫杂质。
Of course, the oppressive aura was much weaker, almost that of an early-stage Transcendence cultivator.
bǎo shé zài yī páng kàn dé chēng mù jié shé ， ruò fēi qīn yǎn mù dǔ ， tā shí zài nán yǐ xiǎng xiàng yǎn qián suǒ kàn jiàn de yí mù 。
宝蛇在一旁看得瞠目结舌，若非亲眼目睹，她实在难以想象眼前所看见的一幕。
But this was enough. Even if they maintained their strength at the early stage of Transcendence, their experience, treasures, and secret techniques remained unchanged. Ordinary early-stage cultivators couldn't compare to them.
bīng pò cǐ shí kàn shàng qù xiān chén bù rǎn ， nǎ lǐ hái yǒu yì diǎn mó zú shèng zǔ de fēng fàn ， yī yǎn wàng qù ， dào hǎo xiàng nà jiǔ tiān xiān nǚ lín chén yì bān 。
冰魄此时看上去纤尘不染，哪里还有一点魔族圣祖的风范，一眼望去，倒好像那九天仙女临尘一般。
Moreover, in times of crisis, the seal could be broken, so there were no weaknesses or flaws that would be revealed.
dāng rán ， hún shēn de wēi yā yě ruò le xǔ duō ， jiù fǎng fú yī dù jié chū qī de xiū xiān zhě 。
当然，浑身的威压也弱了许多，就仿佛一渡劫初期的修仙者。
The Treasure Snake was speechless with admiration.
dàn zhè yǐ jīng zú gòu ， tā men de shí lì ， jí biàn shì wéi xì zài dù jié chū qī ， dàn jīng yàn ， bǎo wù ， yǐ jí suǒ huì de mì shù què shì bú huì biàn dì ， qǐ shì pǔ tōng de chū qī xiū shì kě bǐ 。
但这已经足够，她们的实力，即便是维系在渡劫初期，但经验，宝物，以及所会的秘术却是不会变地，岂是普通的初期修士可比。
Then Ice Soul threw a Green Spirit Pearl at her.
hé kuàng zhēn yù jiàn wēi jī ， fēng yìn yì kě jiě chú ， suǒ yǐ gēn běn jiù bú huì yǒu shén me ruò diǎn huò shì pò zhàn xiǎn lù 。
何况真遇见危机，封印亦可解除，所以根本就不会有什么弱点或是破绽显露。
---
bǎo shé kàn dé zàn tàn bù yǐ 。
宝蛇看得赞叹不已。
Setting aside the matters of the two Primordial True Demons, let's return to Lin Xuan. With Mo'er by his side, they managed to eliminate the White Tiger, but how to find the whereabouts of the Seven Treasures of Naraka remained unclear.
suí hòu bīng pò jiāng yī lì qīng líng zhū xiàng tā pāo le guò qù 。
随后冰魄将一粒青灵珠像她抛了过去。
Now that he was a formidable power, finding treasures wasn't easy for him at this stage.
……
……
Because... there were no clues.
liǎng wèi zhēn mó shǐ zǔ de shì qíng qiě bù tí 。
两位真魔始祖的事情且不提。
A skilled cook couldn't make a meal out of thin air. That's what it meant.
zài shuō lín xuān ， yǔ yuè ér lián shǒu ， hǎo bù róng yì miè shā le bái hǔ 。
再说林轩，与月儿联手，好不容易灭杀了白虎。
Since they couldn't force a solution, it would be better to focus on their current tasks rather than wander aimlessly like headless flies.
dàn jiē xià lái de rú hé xún zhǎo xiū luó qī bǎo de xià luò ， lín xuān què fēn háo tóu xù yě wú 。
但接下来的如何寻找修罗七宝的下落，林轩却分毫头绪也无。
The White Tiger was gone, and the true essence fire had returned to its place of origin. But all that remained were its fur and bones, which Lin Xuan had obtained.
rú jīn ， tā de shí lì shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。
如今，他的实力是非同小可。
Their value was immeasurable.
dàn duì yú xún zhǎo bǎo wù ， zàn shí lái shuō ， què méi yǒu bāng zhù 。
但对于寻找宝物，暂时来说，却没有帮助。
Even Immortal Wandering Demons would drool over them.
yīn wèi …… méi yǒu xiàn suǒ 。
因为……没有线索。
And the White Tiger's demonic blood was particularly useful for Lin Xuan.
qiǎo fù nán wéi wú mǐ zhī chuī ， dà yuē jiù shì zhè ge dào lǐ le 。
巧妇难为无米之炊，大约就是这个道理了。
Since there were no clues about the Seven Treasures of Naraka, he decided to refine the demonic blood first.
jì rán qiǎng qiú bù dé ， yǔ qí rú méi tóu cāng yíng yì bān de luàn chuǎng ， nà bù rú xiān zuò hǎo yǎn qián de gōng zuò 。
既然强求不得，与其如没头苍蝇一般的乱闯，那不如先做好眼前的工作。
Although he had already tested the True Essence Sword Formation against the Yellow Springs Demon Mother, calling it his greatest weapon might be a slight exaggeration. However, using the Five Dragon Seal was risky.
bái hǔ yǐ jīng yǔn luò ， zhēn líng zhī huǒ ， huí guī chuán chéng zhī suǒ ， dàn qí pí máo gǔ gé ， què jǐn wèi lín xuān suǒ de 。
白虎已经陨落，真灵之火，回归传承之所，但其皮毛骨骼，却尽为林轩所得。
The True Essence Sword Formation was different. Lin Xuan would do everything possible to enhance its power.
qí jià zhí bù yòng tí 。
其价值不用提。
---
biàn shì sàn xiān yāo wáng ， yě huì chuí xián sān chǐ 。
便是散仙妖王，也会垂涎三尺。
The pagodas and pavilions on Cloud Mist Island had been reduced to rubble, leaving the entire island in ruins.
ér bái hǔ líng xuè ， duì lín xuān gèng yǒu dà yòng 。
而白虎灵血，对林轩更有大用。
But this was just superficial damage.
yǎn qián jì rán méi yǒu xiū luó qī bǎo zhī ěr huán de xiàn suǒ ， nà jiù xiān liàn huà le líng xuè zài shuō 。
眼前既然没有修罗七宝之耳环的线索，那就先炼化了灵血再说。
Perhaps they were lucky; despite the destruction of buildings, the Spirit Vein here remained intact.
zhēn líng huà jiàn jué wēi lì rú hé ， yǔ huáng quán guǐ mǔ de yī zhàn zhōng ， lín xuān yǐ jīng cháng shì guò ， shuō chéng shì zì jǐ zuì dà de shā shǒu jiǎn huò xǔ shāo yǒu kuā zhāng zhī chù 。
真灵化剑诀威力如何，与黄泉鬼母的一战中，林轩已经尝试过，说成是自己最大的杀手锏或许稍有夸张之处。
With the foundation of the Spirit Vein unharmed, clearing out the debris and transplanting mountains and trees would soon restore life to the place. It would once again become a paradise.
dàn dòng yòng wǔ lóng xǐ bì jìng shì yǒu hòu gù zhī yōu de 。
但动用五龙玺毕竟是有后顾之忧的。
Though it sounded exaggerated, cultivators could create miracles that ordinary people couldn't achieve.
ér zhēn líng huà jiàn jué bù tóng ， lín xuān dāng rán yào qiān fāng bǎi jì ， jiā qiáng qí wēi lì le 。
而真灵化剑诀不同，林轩当然要千方百计，加强其威力了。
During this process, Lin Xuan even lent a hand by moving a mountain from the seabed to where Cloud Mist Sect's original headquarters stood.
……
……
He did this with a purpose—to establish his abode on this mountain and live there with Mo'er.
yún xiá dǎo shàng de tíng tái lóu gé ， chéng chí shù mù ， yǐ bèi yí wèi le yī piàn píng dì ， zhěng zuò dǎo yǔ ， kàn shàng qù ， nà shì mǎn mù chuāng yí 。
云霞岛上的亭台楼阁，城池树木，已被夷为了一片平地，整座岛屿，看上去，那是满目疮痍。
One reason was for rest, but another was to deal with the various treasures left behind by the White Tiger.
dàn zhè jǐn jǐn shì biǎo miàn ér yǐ 。
但这仅仅是表面而已。
Refining the true essence blood here might be hasty, but he was already familiar with the process, so he wasn't afraid of making mistakes. Better late than never; let's refine the White Tiger's demonic blood right here.
huò xǔ zhēn shì yùn qì bù cuò ， jiàn zhù suī rán biàn chéng le yī piàn wǎ lì ， dàn cǐ chù de líng mài ， què shì wán hǎo wú sǔn dì 。
或许真是运气不错，建筑虽然变成了一片瓦砾，但此处的灵脉，却是完好无损地。
The two senior elders of Cloud Mist Sect had no objections to this. With a powerful cultivator present, they felt more at ease. (To be continued)
As for the妖族, their fates were similar. To be fair, a Core Formation existence was already considered a formidable power in its own right. Unfortunately, they encountered the Treasure Snake Ice Soul.
In the eyes of the Primordial True Demon Ancestor, even ordinary Transcendence Period elders were mere clay figures and paper puppets. A Core Formation existence was even less worth mentioning.
