tā kě bù xiǎng cōng míng fǎn bèi cōng míng wù ， zhè xìng lín de xiǎo zi bù hǎo rě ， ruò zhēn yǔ qí sī pò liǎn pí ， duì zì jǐ ér yán ， yǒu bǎi hài ér wú yī lì 。
她可不想聪明反被聪明误，这姓林的小子不好惹，若真与其撕破脸皮，对自己而言，有百害而无一利。
She didn't want to be聪明反被聪明误. This Lin Xuan was no easy opponent, and if she truly broke with him, it would only bring harm without any benefit.
yú shì cǐ nǚ dī méi shùn mù ， zài qián miàn yǐn lù 。
于是此女低眉顺目，在前面引路。
Thus, this woman lowered her gaze and followed obediently in front of them as a guide.
lín xuān yǔ yuè ér duì shì yī yǎn ， háo bù yóu yù de gēn zài le hòu miàn 。
林轩与月儿对视一眼，毫不犹豫的跟在了后面。
Lin Xuan exchanged glances with Yue'er, who immediately followed behind without hesitation.
zhì yú nà líng zú lǎo zǔ ， zé xiǎn de fēi cháng chén mò ， fǎng fú yī qiè yǐ rèn yóu shèng nǚ zuò zhǔ 。
至于那灵族老祖，则显得非常沉默，仿佛一切已任由圣女做主。
As for the Spirit Clan's High Elder, he appeared very silent, as if everything was left to the High Priestess’s decision.
gè huái guǐ tāi qiě bù tí ， jǐ rén de dùn guāng kě shì fēi cháng xùn sù ， hěn kuài ， chóng shān jùn lǐng jiù bèi shuǎi dào le shēn hòu ， rào guò yī zuò shān gǔ ， qián miàn huò rán kāi lǎng ， yìng rù yǎn qián de jǐng wù jiù fǎng fú rén jiān xiān jìng yī yàng 。
各怀鬼胎且不提，几人的遁光可是非常迅速，很快，崇山峻岭就被甩到了身后，绕过一座山谷，前面豁然开朗，映入眼前的景物就仿佛人间仙境一样。
Setting aside their hidden agendas, the group's flight speed was swift. Soon, the towering mountains and steep ridges were left far behind. They turned around a valley, and before them lay an open landscape that seemed like a fairyland from another world.
bǎi huā shèng kāi ， xiān hè piān piān qǐ wǔ ， líng qì yì shì nóng yù dào le jí chù 。
百花盛开，仙鹤翩翩起舞，灵气亦是浓郁到了极处。
Flowers bloomed in abundance, and immortal cranes danced gracefully. The aura of spiritual energy was so thick it almost suffocated one's senses.
fàng yǎn wàng qù ， hǎo yī piàn qióng lóu yù yǔ ， lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo biān liú lù chū yī sī xiào yì ：“ guì zú de yǐn jū zhī suǒ ， hái zhēn bù cuò ， hǎo yī pài dòng tiān fú dì 。”
放眼望去，好一片琼楼玉宇，林轩嘴角边流露出一丝笑意：“贵族的隐居之所，还真不错，好一派洞天福地。”
Looking out, the scene revealed magnificent palaces made of jade and crystal. Lin Xuan smiled slightly: "The nobleman’s secluded abode is truly impressive. It looks like a paradise."
“ ràng dào yǒu jiàn xiào le ， qǐng 。”
“让道友见笑了，请。”
"Allow me to say that you are too kind. Please proceed."
líng zú shèng nǚ xiào yì yíng yíng ， fǎng fú bù jiǔ qián ， shuāng fāng bù céng shēng sǐ xiāng bó ， jiù rú tóng zhēn shì zhì jiāo hǎo yǒu dào fǎng shì yī yàng de 。
灵族圣女笑意盈盈，仿佛不久前，双方不曾生死相搏，就如同真是至交好友到访是一样的。
The High Priestess smiled warmly as if they had not just fought for their lives moments ago, treating him as an old friend visiting.
cǐ nǚ hǎo shēn de chéng fǔ 。
此女好深的城府。
This woman has deep cunning.
lín xuān xīn zhōng jǐng tì ， biǎo miàn shàng ， yī jiù dài zhe yī liǎn hé xù de xiào yì ：“ xiān zi bù yòng kè qì ， wǒ fū qī mào mèi lái cǐ ， hái wàng dào yǒu bú yào xián wǒ men tāo rǎo le cái shì 。”
林轩心中警惕，表面上，依旧带着一脸和煦的笑意：“仙子不用客气，我夫妻冒昧来此，还望道友不要嫌我们叨扰了才是。”
Lin Xuan remained vigilant on the surface but still wore a warm smile: "Lady, there is no need to be so polite. My wife and I are merely making an unannounced visit, hoping you won't find it intrusive."
“ nǎ lǐ ， nǎ lǐ ， lín xiōng fū qī lái cǐ ， lìng lòu shì péng bì shēng huī le cái shì 。”
“哪里，哪里，林兄夫妻来此，令陋室蓬荜生辉了才是。”
"Of course not, of course not. Your presence here has brought glory to my humble abode."
shèng nǚ de zuǐ jiǎo biān lù chū yī sī xiào yì ， xiǎn de rè qíng yǐ jí 。
圣女的嘴角边露出一丝笑意，显得热情以极。
The High Priestess's lips curled into a smile, showing great enthusiasm.
xián huà shǎo tí ， sì rén dùn guāng xùn sù ， hěn kuài lái dào le bàn shān yāo de yī zuò tíng zi lǐ 。
闲话少提，四人遁光迅速，很快来到了半山腰的一座亭子里。
Without further ado, the group quickly arrived at a pavilion halfway up the mountain.
cǐ liáng tíng gū xuán yú qiào bì zhī shàng ， dì shì xiǎn yào wú bǐ 。 rán ér fù jìn què yǒu bái yún duǒ duǒ ， jiā shàng chōng pèi de líng qì 。 gèng tòu chū yī gǔ piāo piāo yù xiān de qì xī 。
此凉亭孤悬于峭壁之上，地势险要无比。然而附近却有白云朵朵，加上充沛的灵气。更透出一股飘飘欲仙的气息。
This pavilion was perched on a sheer cliff, with an extremely perilous location. However, nearby were clouds that drifted lazily, and the abundant spiritual energy gave off a heavenly aura.
fēn bīn zhǔ luò zuò ， zì yǒu shì nǚ sòng shàng měi jiǔ guā guǒ ， líng chá de wèi dào yě bù cuò 。
分宾主落座，自有侍女送上美酒瓜果，灵茶的味道也不错。
They took their seats according to rank, and attendants promptly served them fine wine, fruits, and fragrant tea.
shí lì dào le lín xuān zhè ge děng jí ， zì rán bù pà duì fāng zài gāo diǎn zhōng zuò shén me shǒu jiǎo ， fàng xīn de dà chī dà hē 。
实力到了林轩这个等级，自然不怕对方在糕点中做什么手脚，放心的大吃大喝。
At Lin Xuan's level of strength, he naturally wasn't afraid of anything in the pastries. He ate and drank heartily without any worries.
dà yuē guò le yī zhǎn chá de gōng fu ， lín xuān fàng xià chá wǎn ， wēi wēi yī xiào ：“ dào yǒu xiàn zài ， kě fǒu xiáng xì dào lái 。 wǒ fū fù èr rén ， yě hǎo zhēn zhuó yī fān 。”
大约过了一盏茶的功夫，林轩放下茶碗，微微一笑：“道友现在，可否详细道来。我夫妇二人，也好斟酌一番。”
After about a cup of tea had passed, Lin Xuan put down his teacup with a slight smile: "Friend, may I ask for more detailed information? My wife and I need to consider it."
“ dào yǒu jì rán zhè yàng shuō ， qiè shēn nǎ ér gǎn tuī cí ， shì zhè yàng de ， liǎng wèi yě zhī dào ， zhè lǐ shì zhēn líng mái gǔ zhī suǒ ， rán ér nǐ men kě zhī dào cǐ dì 。 zuì xiān de lái lì ？”
“道友既然这样说，妾身哪儿敢推辞，是这样的，两位也知道，这里是真灵埋骨之所，然而你们可知道此地。最先的来历？”
"Since you say so, I dare not refuse. As you know, this place is where true spirits are buried. But do you know the origins of this place?"
“ lái lì ？”
“来历？”
"Origins?" Lin Xuan frowned, and Yue'er's expression mirrored his. This question truly stumped them. After all, the true spirit burial ground was no longer within the Three Realms, and ancient texts rarely described its history. To ask about its origin seemed a bit too much.
lín xuān méi tou yí zhòu ， yuè ér de biǎo qíng ， yì xiāng chà fǎng fú ， zhè ge wèn tí ， zhēn jiāng liǎng rén nán zhù ， yào zhī dào 。 zhēn líng mái gǔ zhī suǒ ， yǐ bù zài sān jiè zhī zhōng ， gè zhǒng shàng gǔ diǎn jí lǐ ， yì shǎo yǒu miáo shù ， yào zhī dào tā de lái lì 。 zhè zhēn yǒu xiē qiǎng rén suǒ nán le 。
林轩眉头一皱，月儿的表情，亦相差仿佛，这个问题，真将两人难住，要知道。真灵埋骨之所，已不在三界之中，各种上古典籍里，亦少有描述，要知道它的来历。这真有些强人所难了。
"I do not know. Please enlighten me."
“ lín mǒu bù xiǎo de ， hái qǐng xiān zi jiě huò 。”
“林某不晓得，还请仙子解惑。”
Lin Xuan did not speak out of turn; he knew that pretending to know something he didn't would only lead to embarrassment. He admitted his ignorance straightforwardly.
lín xuān bìng méi yǒu xìn kǒu kāi hé 。 bù dǒng zhuāng dǒng zhǐ huì zì qǔ qí rǔ ， yú shì hěn tǎn chéng de chéng rèn zì jǐ bù xiǎo de 。
林轩并没有信口开河。不懂装懂只会自取其辱，于是很坦诚的承认自己不晓得。
He believed that the High Priestess had her reasons for asking this question, and there was a deeper purpose behind it, though he couldn’t grasp it yet.
lín xuān yě xiāng xìn ， duì fāng tí zhè ge wèn tí ， bú huì shì wú dì fàng shǐ ， kěn dìng yǒu bǐ jiào shēn de yòng yì ， zhǐ shì zì jǐ méi yǒu lǐng huì ér yǐ 。
林轩也相信，对方提这个问题，不会是无的放矢，肯定有比较深的用意，只是自己没有领会而已。
"The true spirit burial ground originally served as the holy land of the True Spirit Clan. It housed treasures revered by all true spirits together. However, a commoner with wealth invites trouble. That treasure was too precious, drawing the envy of powerful beings from another realm."
“ zhēn líng mái gǔ zhī suǒ ， yuán běn shì zhēn líng yī zú de shèng dì ， zhè lǐ yùn yù yǒu zhēn líng men gòng tóng cān bài de bǎo wù ， rán ér pǐ fū wú zuì huái bì qí zuì ， nà jiàn bǎo wù tài guò zhēn xī ， què yǐn lái le yì jiè qiáng zhě de jì yú 。” líng zú shèng nǚ wěi wěi de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ lǐ 。
“真灵埋骨之所，原本是真灵一族的圣地，这里蕴育有真灵们共同参拜的宝物，然而匹夫无罪怀璧其罪，那件宝物太过珍稀，却引来了异界强者的觊觎。”灵族圣女娓娓的声音传入耳朵里。
The High Priestess's soft voice echoed in his ears.
yǐ lín xuān de chéng fǔ ， tīng dào zhè lǐ ， yě bù yóu de lù chū dà gǎn xìng qù zhī sè 。
以林轩的城府，听到这里，也不由得露出大感兴趣之色。
With Lin Xuan’s depth of understanding, he couldn't help but show great interest.
tóng shí yǒu xiē hài yì ， shén me rén ， gǎn dào tài suì tóu shàng dòng tǔ ， zhēn líng yī zú de shèng wù ， zhēn xiān ， kǒng pà yě bù gǎn dòng shǒu míng qiǎng de 。
同时有些骇异，什么人，敢到太岁头上动土，真灵一族的圣物，真仙，恐怕也不敢动手明抢的。
He also found it astonishing who dared to tamper with a true spirit’s holy object. Even True Immortals wouldn’t dare to openly snatch such a treasure.
yào zhī dào ， dà bù fèn zhēn líng de shí lì ， suī rán yǔ dù jié jí bié de xiū xiān zhě xiāng chà fǎng fú ， dàn zhēn líng zhōng ， què jué duì bù fá dǐng jí qiáng zhě ， zhēn lóng ， cǎi fèng bú yòng shuō ， hái yǒu yī xiē shàng gǔ zhēn líng de shí lì ， tóng yàng bù bǐ zhēn xiān xùn sè 。
要知道，大部分真灵的实力，虽然与渡劫级别的修仙者相差仿佛，但真灵中，却绝对不乏顶级强者，真龙，彩凤不用说，还有一些上古真灵的实力，同样不比真仙逊色。
Most true spirits had power comparable to those who had passed the Tribulation, but among them were undoubtedly top-tier experts—true dragons and colorful phoenixes, as well as ancient true spirits whose strength rivaled that of True Immortals.
jū rán yǒu rén gǎn tú móu zhēn líng shèng wù ， zhè dǎn ér gòu féi de 。
居然有人敢图谋真灵圣物，这胆儿够肥的。
Someone actually dared to plot for a true spirit’s holy object. That was quite audacious.
yuè ér de biǎo qíng yì xiāng chà fǎng fú ， fū qī èr rén de biǎo qíng dōu xiǎn de jí wéi guān zhù 。
月儿的表情亦相差仿佛，夫妻二人的表情都显得极为关注。
Yue'er's expression mirrored his, and the couple exchanged concerned glances.
“ shì yù wài mó zhǔ ！”
“是域外魔主！”
"It was the域外魔主!"
“ yù wài mó zhǔ ？” lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū chà yì zhī sè ， dì yī cì tīng jiàn zhè ge chēng hū 。
“域外魔主？”林轩脸上露出诧异之色，第一次听见这个称呼。
"The域外魔主?" Lin Xuan showed surprise on his face; he had never heard this title before.
“ zuì qiáng de tiān wài mó jūn ， bèi chēng wéi mó zhǔ 。” líng zú shèng nǚ rú cǐ zhè bān de jiě shì shuō 。
“最强的天外魔君，被称为魔主。”灵族圣女如此这般的解释说。
"The strongest of the celestial demons, known as the Demon Lord," the High Priestess explained.
“ yuán lái rú cǐ 。”
“原来如此。”
"Ah, I see."
lín xuān diǎn diǎn tóu ， yòu shì yù wài tiān mó ， zhè xiē jiā huo dào chù shān fēng diǎn huǒ ， méi xiǎng dào lián qiáng dà de zhēn líng ， dōu bù fàng guò 。
林轩点点头，又是域外天魔，这些家伙到处煽风点火，没想到连强大的真灵，都不放过。
Lin Xuan nodded. Another demon from beyond the realm—these fellows stirred up trouble everywhere and didn’t spare even powerful true spirits.
“ nà jiàn bǎo wù tài guò zhēn xī ， yě jiù nán guài yǐn lái gè fāng qiáng zhě de jì yú ， dàn zhēn líng bù hǎo rě ， zuì zhōng gǎn dòng shǒu de zhǐ yǒu fēi tiān mó zhǔ yí gè 。”
“那件宝物太过珍稀，也就难怪引来各方强者的觊觎，但真灵不好惹，最终敢动手的只有飞天魔主一个。”
"That treasure was too precious, which is why it attracted so many strong beings. But the true spirits are not easily provoked. Only the Skyward Demon Lord dared to make a move."
“ ér zhēn líng men sì hū yě chá jué dào le tā de yīn móu ， jǐ dà shàng gǔ zhēn líng ， bāo kuò zhēn lóng cǎi fèng ， yī qí dòng shǒu ， yǐ jué dà shén tōng ， nì zhuǎn tiān dì fǎ zé ， jiāng tōng wǎng shèng dì de jiè miàn tōng dào quán bù fēng yìn diào le 。”
“而真灵们似乎也察觉到了他的阴谋，几大上古真灵，包括真龙彩凤，一齐动手，以绝大神通，逆转天地法则，将通往圣地的界面通道全部封印掉了。”
"And the true spirits seemed to have sensed his plot. The ancient true spirits, including true dragons and colorful phoenixes, joined forces. With overwhelming power, they reversed the laws of heaven and earth, sealing off all pathways leading to this holy land."
“ kě xī dào gāo yī chǐ ， mó gāo yí zhàng ， jǐn jǐn zhè yàng ， hái shì bù néng gāo zhěn wú yōu ， tā men hái shì dī gū le fēi tiān mó zhǔ ， zài qiáng de fēng yìn yòu rú hé ， cǐ lǎo guài wù yī jiù pò jiè lái dào le cǐ chù ， xiǎng yào duó zǒu zhēn líng de shèng wù 。”
“可惜道高一尺，魔高一丈，仅仅这样，还是不能高枕无忧，他们还是低估了飞天魔主，再强的封印又如何，此老怪物依旧破界来到了此处，想要夺走真灵的圣物。”
"Unfortunately, even with such efforts, it was not enough for them to rest easy. They underestimated the Skyward Demon Lord. No matter how strong the seals were, he still broke through the barriers and arrived here, intent on seizing the true spirit’s holy object."
“ miàn duì qiáng dí ， gū ào de zhēn líng men dì yī cì xuǎn zé le lián shǒu ， zhēn lóng ， cǎi fèng ， kǒng què qí jù cǐ chù ， cǐ wài ， hái yǒu shù yǐ bǎi jì de gè děng jiē zhēn líng 。”
“面对强敌，孤傲的真灵们第一次选择了联手，真龙，彩凤，孔雀齐聚此处，此外，还有数以百计的各等阶真灵。”
"Faced with a formidable enemy, the proud true spirits chose to unite for the first time. True dragons, colorful phoenixes, and peacocks gathered here, along with hundreds of other true spirits from various ranks."
lín xuān tīng dào zhè lǐ ， yǔ yuè ér miàn miàn xiāng qù ， zhè fēi tiān mó zhǔ ， pǐn xìng zàn qiě bù shuō ， shí lì dàng zhēn lìng rén pèi fú ， yào zhī dào jiù suàn zhēn xiān jiàng lín cǐ chù ， yě jué bù gǎn tóng shí yǔ zhè me duō zhēn líng wèi dí de 。
林轩听到这里，与月儿面面相觑，这飞天魔主，品性暂且不说，实力当真令人佩服，要知道就算真仙降临此处，也绝不敢同时与这么多真灵为敌的。
Lin Xuan exchanged glances with Yue'er as he heard this. The Skyward Demon Lord’s strength was truly impressive. Even a True Immortal would dare not face so many true spirits simultaneously.
“ mò fēi tā dài le hěn duō shǒu xià me ？”
“莫非他带了很多手下么？”
"Did he bring many followers?"
yuè ér rěn bú zhù chà yì de kāi kǒu le 。
月儿忍不住诧异的开口了。
Yue'er couldn’t help but ask out of surprise.
“ bù ， yīn wèi fēng yìn de yuán gù ， fēi tiān mó zhǔ shì yí gè rén lái dào zhè lǐ de 。” líng zú shèng nǚ hē le yī kǒu chá ， dàn dàn de shuō 。
“不，因为封印的缘故，飞天魔主是一个人来到这里的。”灵族圣女喝了一口茶，淡淡的说。
"No, due to the seals, the Skyward Demon Lord came alone," the High Priestess said calmly after taking a sip of tea.
“ hòu lái rú hé ？”
“后来如何？”
"How did it end?"
“ hòu lái ， jīng tiān dà zhàn ， zhēn líng men qián pū hòu xù ， dà zhàn fēi tiān mó zhǔ ， qián hòu yǔn luò de zhēn líng yǒu jìn bǎi zhī duō ， què yī jiù wú fǎ zuǒ yòu shèng fù ， pò bù dé yǐ ， zuì wèi gǔ lǎo de zhēn líng kǒng què dà míng wáng shī zhǎn jīng tiān mì shù ， shě mìng cái yǔ duì fāng tóng guī yú jìn diào le 。”
“后来，惊天大战，真灵们前扑后续，大战飞天魔主，前后陨落的真灵有近百之多，却依旧无法左右胜负，迫不得已，最为古老的真灵孔雀大明王施展惊天秘术，舍命才与对方同归于尽掉了。”
"After that, a shocking battle ensued. The true spirits fought valiantly against the Skyward Demon Lord. Nearly one hundred true spirits fell in this struggle but still couldn’t turn the tide. Desperate, the most ancient true spirit, Peacock Dharma King, used a fearsome secret technique to perish alongside his opponent."
lín xuān tīng dào zhè lǐ ， xīn zhōng yī dòng ， zhēn líng kǒng què yuán lái shì zhè yàng yǔn luò diào de 。
林轩听到这里，心中一动，真灵孔雀原来是这样陨落掉的。
Lin Xuan’s heart stirred as he heard this. He thought of Yuan Yuan, taken by the phoenix and unsure of her current state. Yuan Yuan also carried the bloodline of an ancient spirit—peacock.
tā bù yóu de xiǎng dào le yuàn yuàn ， bèi fèng huáng dài zǒu ， rú jīn bù zhī dào zěn me yàng le ， yuàn yuàn de shēn shàng ， kě yě yǒu zhe shàng gǔ líng qín ， kǒng què de xuè tǒng 。
他不由得想到了媛媛，被凤凰带走，如今不知道怎么样了，媛媛的身上，可也有着上古灵禽，孔雀的血统。
Thankfully, the Skyward Demon Lord perished, but if he faced off against Asura, it was hard to predict who would emerge victorious.
fēi tiān mó zhǔ xìng hǎo yǔn luò ， fǒu zé yǐ tā de shí lì duì shàng ā xiū luó ， shuí shèng shuí fù ， kě yě bù tài hǎo shuō 。
飞天魔主幸好陨落，否则以他的实力对上阿修罗，谁胜谁负，可也不太好说。
"Many true spirits fell in this battle, yet they still couldn’t protect their holy object. That treasure was lost during the great conflict and vanished without a trace. Now we don’t know where it is, but here has become the burial ground for true spirits. Any severely injured true spirit now comes here."
“ zhè yī yì yǔn luò de zhēn líng tài duō ， rán ér què yī jiù méi néng bǎo zhù zhēn líng de shèng wù ， nà jiàn bǎo bèi zài jīng tiān dà zhàn zhōng liú shī diào le ， zōng jì quán wú ， rú jīn yě bù zhī dào zài hé chù ， ér zhè lǐ ， què biàn chéng le zhēn líng de mù dì ， hòu lái ， fán shì zhēn líng shāng zhòng bù zhì ， dū huì lái dào zhè lǐ 。”
“这一役陨落的真灵太多，然而却依旧没能保住真灵的圣物，那件宝贝在惊天大战中流失掉了，踪迹全无，如今也不知道在何处，而这里，却变成了真灵的墓地，后来，凡是真灵伤重不治，都会来到这里。”
"So, what are we looking for exactly? The true spirit’s holy object?" Lin Xuan said with a hint of mockery.
“ yuán lái rú cǐ ， nà wǒ men cǐ xíng shì yào qù xún zhǎo shén me ， zhēn líng de shèng wù ？” lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo biān lù chū yī sī jī cháo de shuō 。
“原来如此，那我们此行是要去寻找什么，真灵的圣物？”林轩嘴角边露出一丝讥嘲的说。
"Of course not. Even the Skyward Demon Lord couldn't obtain the true spirit's holy object back then. How could I dare to have such thoughts? Besides, that treasure has already been lost. I wish to find the treasures left behind by the Skyward Demon Lord in this burial ground. Their quality surpasses even先天灵宝, enough for me to use Soul Transference."
“ dāng rán bú shì le ， zhēn líng shèng wù ， dāng nián lián fēi tiān mó zhǔ dōu bù céng dé dào ， qiè shēn hé dé hé néng ， yòu gǎn cún cǐ wàng xiǎng ne ， hé kuàng zhè jiàn bǎo bèi yǐ jīng shī luò ， qiè shēn shì xiǎng yào qù zhēn líng mù dì zhōng xún zhǎo fēi tiān mó zhǔ shī luò zài lǐ miàn de bǎo wù ， qí pǐn zhì kě shì chāo guò xiān tiān líng bǎo de ， zú yǐ ràng wǒ shī zhǎn yí hún ** le 。”
“当然不是了，真灵圣物，当年连飞天魔主都不曾得到，妾身何德何能，又敢存此妄想呢，何况这件宝贝已经失落，妾身是想要去真灵墓地中寻找飞天魔主失落在里面的宝物，其品质可是超过先天灵宝的，足以让我施展移魂**了。”
"By the way, after all this talk, what exactly is the true spirit’s holy object?" Lin Xuan asked curiously.
“ duì le ， shuō le zhè me jiǔ ， zhēn líng de shèng wù jiū jìng shì shén me ？” lín xuān hào qí de wèn le yī jù 。
“对了，说了这么久，真灵的圣物究竟是什么？”林轩好奇的问了一句。
"It's the Five Dragon Seal!"
“ wǔ lóng xǐ ！”
“五龙玺！”

She didn't want to be聪明反被聪明误. This Lin Xuan was no easy opponent, and if she truly broke with him, it would only bring harm without any benefit.
Thus, this woman lowered her gaze and followed obediently in front of them as a guide.
Lin Xuan exchanged glances with Yue'er, who immediately followed behind without hesitation.
As for the Spirit Clan's High Elder, he appeared very silent, as if everything was left to the High Priestess’s decision.
Setting aside their hidden agendas, the group's flight speed was swift. Soon, the towering mountains and steep ridges were left far behind. They turned around a valley, and before them lay an open landscape that seemed like a fairyland from another world.
Flowers bloomed in abundance, and immortal cranes danced gracefully. The aura of spiritual energy was so thick it almost suffocated one's senses.

"Since you say so, I dare not refuse. As you know, this place is where true spirits are buried. But do you know the origins of this place?"

With Lin Xuan’s depth of understanding, he couldn't help but show great interest.
He also found it astonishing who dared to tamper with a true spirit’s holy object. Even True Immortals wouldn’t dare to openly snatch such a treasure.
Most true spirits had power comparable to those who had passed the Tribulation, but among them were undoubtedly top-tier experts—true dragons and colorful phoenixes, as well as ancient true spirits whose strength rivaled that of True Immortals.
Someone actually dared to plot for a true spirit’s holy object. That was quite audacious.
Yue'er's expression mirrored his, and the couple exchanged concerned glances.
"It was the域外魔主!"
"The域外魔主?" Lin Xuan showed surprise on his face; he had never heard this title before.
"The strongest of the celestial demons, known as the Demon Lord," the High Priestess explained.
"Ah, I see."
Lin Xuan nodded. Another demon from beyond the realm—these fellows stirred up trouble everywhere and didn’t spare even powerful true spirits.
"That treasure was too precious, which is why it attracted so many strong beings. But the true spirits are not easily provoked. Only the Skyward Demon Lord dared to make a move."
"And the true spirits seemed to have sensed his plot. The ancient true spirits, including true dragons and colorful phoenixes, joined forces. With overwhelming power, they reversed the laws of heaven and earth, sealing off all pathways leading to this holy land."
"Unfortunately, even with such efforts, it was not enough for them to rest easy. They underestimated the Skyward Demon Lord. No matter how strong the seals were, he still broke through the barriers and arrived here, intent on seizing the true spirit’s holy object."
"Faced with a formidable enemy, the proud true spirits chose to unite for the first time. True dragons, colorful phoenixes, and peacocks gathered here, along with hundreds of other true spirits from various ranks."
Lin Xuan exchanged glances with Yue'er as he heard this. The Skyward Demon Lord’s strength was truly impressive. Even a True Immortal would dare not face so many true spirits simultaneously.
"Did he bring many followers?"
Yue'er couldn’t help but ask out of surprise.
"No, due to the seals, the Skyward Demon Lord came alone," the High Priestess said calmly after taking a sip of tea.
"How did it end?"
"After that, a shocking battle ensued. The true spirits fought valiantly against the Skyward Demon Lord. Nearly one hundred true spirits fell in this struggle but still couldn’t turn the tide. Desperate, the most ancient true spirit, Peacock Dharma King, used a fearsome secret technique to perish alongside his opponent."
Lin Xuan’s heart stirred as he heard this. He thought of Yuan Yuan, taken by the phoenix and unsure of her current state. Yuan Yuan also carried the bloodline of an ancient spirit—peacock.
Thankfully, the Skyward Demon Lord perished, but if he faced off against Asura, it was hard to predict who would emerge victorious.
"Many true spirits fell in this battle, yet they still couldn’t protect their holy object. That treasure was lost during the great conflict and vanished without a trace. Now we don’t know where it is, but here has become the burial ground for true spirits. Any severely injured true spirit now comes here."
"So, what are we looking for exactly? The true spirit’s holy object?" Lin Xuan said with a hint of mockery.
"Of course not. Even the Skyward Demon Lord couldn't obtain the true spirit's holy object back then. How could I dare to have such thoughts? Besides, that treasure has already been lost. I wish to find the treasures left behind by the Skyward Demon Lord in this burial ground. Their quality surpasses even先天灵宝, enough for me to use Soul Transference."
"By the way, after all this talk, what exactly is the true spirit’s holy object?" Lin Xuan asked curiously.
"It's the Five Dragon Seal!"
