A moment to remember: /manghuangji provides you with an engaging read.
píng xīn lái shuō ， zhè yàng de tuī cè ， bìng méi yǒu shén me bǎ wò ， rán ér sì chù xún tíng lóu bù dé ， zhè yǐ shì méi yǒu bàn fǎ de bàn fǎ le
平心来说，这样的推测，并没有什么把握，然而四处寻亭楼不得，这已是没有办法的办法了
To be honest, such speculation was not without foundation, but since he could find no sign of the Pavilion or Hall, this was his only option.
bù guǎn rú hé ， zǒng bǐ kū zuò děng dài yào hǎo shàng xǔ duō
不管如何，总比枯坐等待要好上许多
Regardless, it was better than sitting idly and waiting.
wàn jiāo gōng zhǔ yě méi yǒu fǎn bó ， lüè yī sī suǒ ， liǎn shàng fǎn ér lù chū gǎn xìng qù de shén sè
万蛟公主也没有反驳，略一思索，脸上反而露出感兴趣的神色
Princess Ten Thousand Serpent did not refute him. After a moment's thought, her face showed interest instead.
“ jì rú cǐ ， nǐ jiāng nà cáng bǎo tú gěi wǒ kàn kàn zài shuō ”
“既如此，你将那藏宝图给我看看再说”
"Since that is so, show me the treasure map."
“ shì ， gōng zhǔ ”
“是，公主”
"Yes, Princess."
jǐ míng yāo zú nǚ zǐ lù chū dà xǐ guò wàng de shén sè ， gōng zhǔ ruò jiāng tā men de jiàn yì cǎi nà ， nà jīn cì de chéng fá ， duō bàn yě jiù kě yǐ miǎn chú
几名妖族女子露出大喜过望的神色，公主若将她们的建议采纳，那今次的惩罚，多半也就可以免除
Several demonesses revealed expressions of great joy. If their suggestion were adopted by the princess, they would likely be spared punishment this time.
jī bù kě shī ， zhàn zài qián miàn de nǚ zǐ lián máng tà qián yī bù ， yù shǒu yī fú ， líng guāng shǎn guò ， suí hòu tā biàn gōng gōng jìng jìng de jiāng shǒu lǐ de yù tóng jiǎn dì guò lái le
机不可失，站在前面的女子连忙踏前一步，玉手一拂，灵光闪过，随后她便恭恭敬敬的将手里的玉瞳简递过来了
Opportunity knocked; the woman in front stepped forward eagerly. With a flick of her jade hand, a flash of light appeared before she respectfully handed over the jade cylinder.
zhè yī qiè ， lín xuān bìng bù xiǎo de
这一切，林轩并不晓得
Lin Xuan was unaware of all this.
suī rán tā shàn cháng yǐn nì zhī shù ， yì róng yě pǒ yǒu xīn dé ， rán ér xiū xiān jiè qí rén yì shì shǔ bù shèng shǔ ， yǔ tóng jiè zuò wèi líng jiè pái míng dì yī de xiǎo jiè miàn ， gāo shǒu gèng shì wú shù
虽然他擅长隐匿之术，易容也颇有心得，然而修仙界奇人异士数不胜数，雨桐界做为灵界排名第一的小界面，高手更是无数
Although he excelled in concealment techniques and had considerable experience with disguise, there were countless extraordinary figures in the cultivation world. Rain桐 Realm, as the top small interface in the Spirit World, boasted numerous experts.
ruò shì tài guò zhāo yáo de huà ， shuō bù dìng shēn fèn jiù huì bào lù ， wàn jiāo gōng zhǔ kě bù hǎo rě ， lín xuān suī rán bù jù ， dàn yě bù xiǎng yǔ qí chōng tū ， sú huà shuō ， duō yī shì bù rú shǎo yī shì
若是太过招摇的话，说不定身份就会暴露，万蛟公主可不好惹，林轩虽然不惧，但也不想与其冲突，俗话说，多一事不如少一事
If he were too conspicuous, his identity might be revealed. Princess Ten Thousand Serpent was not someone to trifle with. Although Lin Xuan was not afraid of conflict, he did not wish to provoke her. As the saying went, better to avoid trouble if possible.
yú shì ， lín xuān běn zhe xiǎo xīn wú dà cuò de yuán zé ， gǎn lù de shí hòu jǐn liàng tiāo xuǎn rén jì hǎn zhì zhī chù
于是，林轩本着小心无大错的原则，赶路的时候尽量挑选人迹罕至之处
Thus, Lin Xuan followed the principle of being cautious and chose remote areas for his journey whenever possible.
bié shuō ， hái zhēn yǒu xiào guǒ
别说，还真有效果
Indeed, this proved effective.
yī lù shàng ， xíng jì zhōng wèi bèi kàn pò ， dàn yě yīn wèi yuǎn lí rén jì de yuán gù ， xiū xiān jiè fā shēng de yī qiè ， lín xuān yī gài bù qīng chǔ
一路上，行技终未被看破，但也因为远离人际的缘故，修仙界发生的一切，林轩一概不清楚
Throughout his travels, his concealment techniques remained undetected. However, due to their isolation from human contact, he was unaware of events in the cultivation world.
wán quán bù xiǎo de ， tóng yàng de cáng bǎo tú ， yǒu shù bǎi fèn zhī duō
完全不晓得，同样的藏宝图，有数百份之多
He had no idea that there were hundreds of copies of the treasure map, with many other cultivators obtaining them as well. Tian Xiao Princess also intended to delve into this mess. As they say, enemies meet on narrow roads; some troubles could not be avoided even if one tried.
chú le zì jǐ ， yì bèi xǔ duō qí tā de xiū shì suǒ de ， tián xiǎo jiàn ， wàn jiāo gōng zhǔ yì tóng yàng dǎ suàn qù tāng hún shuǐ ， suǒ wèi yuān jiā lù zhǎi ， yǒu yī xiē má fán ， bìng bú shì nǐ xiǎng yào duǒ ， jiù kě yǐ duǒ kāi
除了自己，亦被许多其他的修士所得，田小剑，万蛟公主亦同样打算去蹚浑水，所谓冤家路窄，有一些麻烦，并不是你想要躲，就可以躲开
Lin Xuan's abilities were formidable, but even a true immortal could not predict the future.
lín xuān shén tōng bù sú ， kě xī biàn shì zhēn xiān ， yì bù kě néng zuò dào wèi bǔ xiān zhī de
林轩神通不俗，可惜便是真仙，亦不可能做到未卜先知的
Meanwhile,
yǔ cǐ tóng shí
与此同时
In an unknown realm, dark magic energy surged and exploded like living creatures.
yī bù wéi rén zhī de jiè miàn ， gǔn gǔn de mó qì fān yǒng pēn bào zhāng yá wǔ zhǎo de fǎng fú huó wù
一不为人知的界面，滚滚的魔气翻涌喷爆张牙舞爪的仿佛活物
This magic energy was extremely pure yet different from genuine demon energy. The exact difference was unclear, but for cultivators, this magic energy was far more detestable than real demon energy.
nà mó qì jīng chún yǐ jí ， rán ér què yòu bù tóng yú zhēn mó zhī qì
那魔气精纯以极，然而却又不同于真魔之气
Deep within the magic energy, a magnificent palace stood.
jù tǐ yǒu shén me qū bié shuō bù qīng chǔ ， dàn duì yú xiū shì lái shuō ， cǐ chù de mó qì ， xiǎn rán bǐ zhēn mó qì gèng jiā de rě rén yàn wù
具体有什么区别说不清楚，但对于修士来说，此处的魔气，显然比真魔气更加的惹人厌恶
Suddenly, a streak of black lightning flashed in, entering the palace.
ér zài mó qì de shēn chù ， què yǒu yī chù gōng diàn zhuàng guān wēi é
而在魔气的深处，却有一处宫殿壮观巍峨
A moment later, the light dissipated, revealing a wisp of black smoke.
tū rán ， yī dào hēi sè de jīng hóng yī shǎn ， mò rù gōng diàn
突然，一道黑色的惊虹一闪，没入宫殿
Then it flickered and transformed into the face of a cultivator.
shǎo qǐng ， dùn guāng sàn kāi ， què shì yī lǚ hēi sè de yān wù yìng rù yǎn lián
少顷，遁光散开，却是一缕黑色的烟雾映入眼帘
Clearly, it was just a fragment of demon consciousness, not human or demon. It differed significantly from ancient demons, to the point of being bizarre.
jiē zhe yī shǎn ， huàn huà chū yī míng xiū shì de róng yán
接着一闪，幻化出一名修士的容颜
An external realm demon; his identity was becoming clear.
dàn míng xiǎn zhǐ shì yī lǚ mó niàn ， bìng fēi rén lèi ， yě bú shì yāo zú ， yǔ gǔ mó shèn zhì dōu yǒu hěn dà de bù tóng zhī chù ， gǔ guài dào le jí diǎn
但明显只是一缕魔念，并非人类，也不是妖族，与古魔甚至都有很大的不同之处，古怪到了极点
The demon then knelt, its ugly face now filled with respect: "Greetings, Palace Lord. I have discovered the node."
yù wài tiān mó ， tā de shēn fèn yǐ hū zhī yù chū
域外天魔，他的身份已呼之欲出
"This, my lady, I already knew,"
suí hòu ， cǐ mó qū xī guì le xià lái ， yuán běn chǒu lòu de miàn kǒng shàng jū rán mǎn shì gōng jìng zhī sè ：“ cān jiàn gōng zhǔ ， yǐ jīng fā xiàn jié diǎn de xiāo xī le ”
随后，此魔屈膝跪了下来，原本丑陋的面孔上居然满是恭敬之色：“参见宫主，已经发现节点的消息了”
Before this wisp of consciousness stood a deep vortex. Just looking at it seemed to draw one's soul.
“ zhè ge běn gōng zǎo jiù zhī dào le ”
“这个本宫早就知道了”
However, from within the vortex, a clear and melodious voice sounded out, each syllable pleasant and lively, like celestial music.
zài nà lǚ mó niàn miàn qián de ， shì yī yōu shēn de xuán wō ， jǐn jǐn wàng shàng yī yǎn ， jiù fǎng fú xīn shén wèi zhī duó
在那缕魔念面前的，是一幽深的漩涡，仅仅望上一眼，就仿佛心神为之夺
"Lord, you already knew."
rán ér cǐ kè ， què cóng xuán wō zhōng ， yǒu qīng cuì dòng tīng de shēng yīn fā chū ， yí gè gè de yīn jié ， jiē shì yuè ěr tiào tuō ， gěi rén de gǎn jué ， fǎng fú xiān lè
然而此刻，却从漩涡中，有清脆动听的声音发出，一个个的音节，皆是悦耳跳脱，给人的感觉，仿佛仙乐
The wisp of consciousness showed surprise on its face.
“ dà rén nín zǎo jiù zhī dào le ”
“大人您早就知道了”
"Yes, not only did I know, but I had someone create a treasure map indicating the location of the node, scattered throughout Rain桐 Realm," the melodious voice said.
nà lǚ mó niàn de liǎn shàng lù chū jīng yà zhī sè
那缕魔念的脸上露出惊讶之色
"Why would Lord do this?"
“ bù cuò ， wǒ bù jǐn zǎo jiù zhī dào ， hái ràng rén jiāng jié diǎn suǒ zài de fāng wèi ， zhì chéng cáng bǎo tú ， sàn luò yú yǔ tóng jiè de gè chù ” nà dòng tīng de shēng yīn rú cǐ zhè bān de shuō
“不错，我不仅早就知道，还让人将节点所在的方位，制成藏宝图，散落于雨桐界的各处”那动听的声音如此这般的说
The wisp's expression was one of shock.
“ dà rén zhè shì wèi hé ？”
“大人这是为何？”
After all, in their realm, the environment was peculiar, making it extremely difficult to reach other realms. Even the Heavenly Demon Sovereign had to severely injure himself to break through the barrier and cross into the Spirit Realm to snatch the Blue Star Sea, only to fail and vanish without a trace.
mó niàn de liǎn shàng lù chū jīng yà zhī sè
魔念的脸上露出惊讶之色
The impact of this did not end there. Worried about external demons, top cultivators in the Spirit Realm, led by immortals and demon kings, joined forces for the first time.
yào zhī dào yù wài tiān mó jū zhù de jiè miàn ， yuán běn jiù huán jìng qí tè ， xiǎng yào dào dá qí tā jiè miàn ， kùn nán dào le jí diǎn ， jí biàn shì tiān wài mó jūn ， xiǎng yào pò kāi jiè miàn zhī lì ， yě yào dà shāng yuán qì ， fǒu zé dāng nián kuà jiè qián wǎng líng jiè ， qiǎng duó nà yì bǎo lán sè xīng hǎi ， yě bú huì gōng kuī yī kuì ， zuì hòu ràng xīng hái luò ， zuì hòu zōng jì quán wú ， zhì jīn dōu méi yǒu xià luò
要知道域外天魔居住的界面，原本就环境奇特，想要到达其他界面，困难到了极点，即便是天外魔君，想要破开界面之力，也要大伤元气，否则当年跨界前往灵界，抢夺那异宝蓝色星海，也不会功亏一篑，最后让星孩落，最后踪迹全无，至今都没有下落
They expended countless divine treasures to strengthen the barrier between their realm and the external demon realm, making it impossible for even the most powerful Heavenly Demon Sovereigns to break through.
ér cǐ shì de yǐng xiǎng bìng wèi jié shù ， yīn wèi jì dàn yù wài tiān mó ， líng jiè de dǐng jí dà néng ， yǐ sàn xiān yāo wáng wéi shǒu ， jìng rán hǎn jiàn de lián qǐ shǒu lái le
而此事的影响并未结束，因为忌惮域外天魔，灵界的顶级大能，以散仙妖王为首，竟然罕见的联起手来了
However, external demons did not disappear from the Spirit Realm. In ancient times, many high-ranking demons had crossed over here, some perishing while others were sealed away.
hào fèi le tiān cái dì bǎo wú shù ， jiāng líng jiè yǔ yù wài tiān mó jiè zhī jiān de jiè miàn zhī lì ， píng kōng zēng qiáng le xǔ duō ， rú cǐ yī lái ， biàn shì zuì wèi qiáng dà de tiān wài mó jūn ， yě xiū xiǎng zài pò suì xū kōng ， dào dá líng jiè lái le
耗费了天材地宝无数，将灵界与域外天魔界之间的界面之力，凭空增强了许多，如此一来，便是最为强大的天外魔君，也休想再破碎虚空，到达灵界来了
Time passed, and eventually, all seals would be broken.
rán ér yù wài tiān mó ， què yě bìng wèi zài líng jiè jué jì ， yīn wèi zài shàng gǔ ， céng jīng yǒu bù shǎo gāo jiē tiān mó ， kuà jiè lái dào zhè lǐ
然而域外天魔，却也并未在灵界绝迹，因为在上古，曾经有不少高阶天魔，跨界来到这里
Now these external demons had resurfaced, their primary task being to reconnect with the demon realm.
yǒu yī xiē yǔn luò ， dàn yě yǒu yī bù fèn ， bèi fēng yìn diào le
有一些陨落，但也有一部分，被封印掉了
This was no easy feat. Many powerful figures in the Spirit Realm had worked together back then.
shí guāng rú suō ， màn màn de ， zài qiáng de fēng yíng yě yǒu jiě chú de yī kè
时光如梭，慢慢的，再强的封蝇也有解除的一刻
Although their efforts weakened over time, immortals and demon kings were well aware of this. They periodically reinforced the barrier.
rú jīn zhè xiē yù wài tiān mó chóng chū jiāng hú ， tā men yào zuò de shǒu yào rèn wù ， jiù shì chóng xīn yǔ tiān mó jiè qǔ dé lián xì
如今这些域外天魔重出江湖，他们要做的首要任务，就是重新与天魔界取得联系
Thus, even now, the Heavenly Demon Sovereigns could not break through to enter the Spirit Realm.
rán ér tán hé róng yì
然而谈何容易
The efforts of immortals and demon kings were invaluable.
dāng nián ， kě shì líng jiè zhū duō dà néng yī qí dòng shǒu
当年，可是灵界诸多大能一齐动手
The external demons in the Spirit Realm seethed with anger but dared not provoke such powerful beings. Instead, they sought other paths.
suī rán suí zhe shí jiān de tuī yí ， tā men suǒ zuò de nǔ lì ， yì bèi xuē ruò ， dàn zhè ge dào lǐ ， yāo wáng sàn xiān ， yòu qǐ huì bù qīng chǔ ， tā men měi gé yī duàn shí jiān ， jiù huì jiāng jiè miàn zhī lì jiā gù
虽然随着时间的推移，他们所作的努力，亦被削弱，但这个道理，妖王散仙，又岂会不清楚，他们每隔一段时间，就会将界面之力加固
The hardships involved were immense, but their efforts did not go unrewarded. After much struggle, they finally found a spatial node.
suǒ yǐ shì dào rú jīn ， tiān wài mó jūn yī jiù wú fǎ pò suì xū kōng ， lái dào líng jiè de
所以事到如今，天外魔君依旧无法破碎虚空，来到灵界的
Even geniuses could make mistakes; there must have been some oversight in the seals by immortals and demon kings.
sàn xiān yāo wáng gōng bù kě méi
散仙妖王功不可没
Using this node as a base, they could re-establish a path to the demon realm.
liú zài líng jiè de yù wài tiān mó hèn dé yá yǎng ， rán ér zhè bān qiáng dà de cún zài tā men yě bù gǎn zhāo rě ， zhǐ néng lìng xún qí tā de chū lù
留在灵界的域外天魔恨得牙痒，然而这般强大的存在他们也不敢招惹，只能另寻其他的出路
This was their hard-won result. If top cultivators from the Spirit Realm knew about it, they would not stand idly by. Thus, they kept it secret; how could they make such knowledge public?
zhè zhōng jiān de xīn kǔ bù yòng tí ， hǎo zài zǒng suàn méi yǒu bái bái nǔ lì ， fèi jǐn qiān xīn wàn kǔ ， tā men zhōng yú zhǎo xún dào le yí gè kōng jiān jié diǎn
这中间的辛苦不用提，好在总算没有白白努力，费尽千辛万苦，他们终于找寻到了一个空间节点
The wisp of consciousness was left with many questions regarding this person's intentions.
zhì zhě qiān lǜ bì yǒu yī shū ， sàn xiān yāo wáng de fēng yíng yě bù kě néng méi yǒu cuò lòu zhī chù
智者千虑必有一疏，散仙妖王的封蝇也不可能没有错漏之处
However, it was certain that his actions had a profound purpose and were not without reason.
yǐ cǐ jié diǎn zuò wéi yī tuō ， tā men kě yǐ chóng xīn dǎ tōng qián wǎng tiān mó jiè de tōng lù
以此节点作为依托，他们可以重新打通前往天魔界的通路
He inquired further, but the vortex remained silent. The wisp of consciousness waited for a moment before reluctantly retreating.
zhè shì dà jiā hǎo bù róng yì cái dé lái de jié guǒ ， líng jiè dà néng ruò shì xiǎo de ， jué bù kě néng zuò shì bù lǐ ， gù ér tā men bǎo mì shàng qiě lái bù jí ， yòu qǐ yǒu nào dé rén jǐn jiē zhī de dào lǐ ？
这是大家好不容易才得来的结果，灵界大能若是晓得，绝不可能坐视不理，故而他们保密尚且来不及，又岂有闹得人尽皆知的道理？
The magnificent palace fell into silence once more.
zhè wèi dà rén wèi hé zhè me zuò ， yī shí jiān ， nà lǚ mó niàn yě shì mǎn tóu wèn hào le
这位大人为何这么做，一时间，那缕魔念也是满头问号了
But just a few moments later, a sigh came from within the vortex.
bù guò kě yǐ kěn dìng de shì ， zhè wèi dà rén rú cǐ xíng shì ， jué bú huì shì wú dì fàng shǐ ， kěn dìng yǒu zhe jí shēn de yòng yì
不过可以肯定的是，这位大人如此行事，绝不会是无的放矢，肯定有着极深的用意
Although it was a sigh, the voice was still melodious. For some reason, it sent a chill down one's spine.
gāo shēn mò cè shì wéi yī de xíng róng cí
高深莫测是唯一的形容词
Then the vortex became hazy as a slender figure emerged slowly.
tā rěn bú zhù xún wèn le xià qù
他忍不住询问了下去
At first, her face was indistinct, hidden behind the magic energy.
rán ér xuán wō zhōng què méi yǒu shēng yīn fā chū ， nà lǚ mó niàn děng le piàn kè ， yě zhǐ hǎo wú nài de gào tuì le
然而漩涡中却没有声音发出，那缕魔念等了片刻，也只好无奈的告退了
But even in silhouette, she was breathtakingly beautiful, to the point of being considered倾国倾城 (capable of making a nation fall).
wēi é de gōng diàn yòu huī fù le chén jì
巍峨的宫殿又恢复了沉寂
If Lin Xuan were here, he would likely notice that this blurry figure resembled the Cloud Fairy from long ago. Though not identical, her shape and facial features hidden by the magic energy bore an 80% resemblance to Qin Yan.
kě jǐn jǐn guò le jǐ xī ， nà xuán wō zhōng què chuán lái yī shēng tàn xī
可仅仅过了几息，那漩涡中却传来一声叹息
Was this a coincidence, or was she truly Qin Yan? (To be continued)
A moment to remember: /manghuangji provides you with an engaging read.
To be honest, such speculation was not without foundation, but since he could find no sign of the Pavilion or Hall, this was his only option.
Regardless, it was better than sitting idly and waiting.
Princess Ten Thousand Serpent did not refute him. After a moment's thought, her face showed interest instead.
"Since that is so, show me the treasure map."
"Yes, Princess."
Several demonesses revealed expressions of great joy. If their suggestion were adopted by the princess, they would likely be spared punishment this time.
Opportunity knocked; the woman in front stepped forward eagerly. With a flick of her jade hand, a flash of light appeared before she respectfully handed over the jade cylinder.
