lín xuān tīng le duì fāng de jiě shì ， shén sè shāo zuò huǎn hé ， ruò zhēn rú duì fāng suǒ shuō ， wēi xiǎn wú yí yào jiàng dī xǔ duō 。
林轩听了对方的解释，神色稍作缓和，若真如对方所说，危险无疑要降低许多。
Lin Xuan listened to the explanation and his expression softened slightly. If what the other party said was true, the danger would indeed be reduced significantly.
dàn nà yě shì xiāng duì lái shuō ， cǐ xíng yī jiù sī háo dà yì bù dé 。
但那也是相对来说，此行依旧丝毫大意不得。
But that was relative; they still couldn't afford any carelessness on this journey.
“ yuè ér ， nǐ kàn rú hé ？” lín xuān huí guò tóu lú ， zhēng xún qǐ ài qī de yì jiàn lái le 。
“月儿，你看如何？”林轩回过头颅，征询起爱妻的意见来了。
"Moon, what do you think?" Lin Xuan turned his head and sought his beloved wife's opinion.
“ yī qiè yóu shào yé zuò zhǔ 。”
“一切由少爷做主。”
"Everything is up to Master."
yuè ér dī méi shùn mù ， bǎi chū yī fù wéi lín xuān mǎ shǒu shì zhān de biǎo qíng lái le 。
月儿低眉顺目，摆出一副唯林轩马首是瞻的表情来了。
Moon lowered her gaze, presenting a demeanor of obedience, showing complete loyalty to Lin Xuan.
lín xuān bìng wèi tuī tuō ， wàng xiàng líng zú shèng nǚ de biǎo qíng què shì bīng lěng dào le jí chù ：“ jiē xià lái de lǚ tú ， xū yào wǒ děng jīng chéng hé zuò ， xiān zi zuì hǎo bù yào zài wán shén me xiǎo bǎ xì ， fǒu zé ……”
林轩并未推脱，望向灵族圣女的表情却是冰冷到了极处：“接下来的旅途，需要我等精诚合作，仙子最好不要再玩什么小把戏，否则……”
Lin Xuan did not hesitate. His expression towards the Fairy of the Spirit Clan was icy cold: "For the rest of our journey, we need to cooperate wholeheartedly. The fairy had better not play any tricks again; otherwise..."
lín xuān de huà bìng wèi shuō wán ， dàn wēi xié de yì wèi ér kě shì hū zhī yù chū ， zì jǐ kě bú shì nà me hǎo qī fù ， rèn yóu duì fāng hǒng piàn bǎi bù 。
林轩的话并未说完，但威胁的意味儿可是呼之欲出，自己可不是那么好欺负，任由对方哄骗摆布。
Lin Xuan's sentence was left unfinished, but the threat was obvious. He wasn't someone who could be easily bullied or deceived.
“ lín xiōng duō lǜ le ， cǐ xíng xún bǎo ， duì nǐ duì wǒ ， jiē yǒu hǎo chù ， qiè shēn yòu zěn me kě néng yǒu èr yì ne ？” líng zú shèng nǚ gān xiào zhe shuō 。
“林兄多虑了，此行寻宝，对你对我，皆有好处，妾身又怎么可能有二意呢？”灵族圣女干笑着说。
"The Master has too much concern. This quest for treasures benefits both us and you. How could I possibly have any ulterior motives?" The Fairy of the Spirit Clan said with a dry laugh.
“ shì me ， nà zuì hǎo bù guò 。”
“是么，那最好不过。”
"Indeed, that's the best outcome."
lín xuān lěng lěng de shuō ， qì fēn yī shí jiān yǒu xiē níng gù 。
林轩冷冷的说，气氛一时间有些凝固。
Lin Xuan said coldly, making the atmosphere tense. After a few breaths, the Fairy of the Spirit Clan swallowed her saliva: "Master, shall we set off now?"
guò le jǐ xī de gōng fu ， líng zú shèng nǚ cái tūn le yī kǒu tuò mò ：“ lín xiōng ， wǒ men zhè jiù dòng shēn rú hé ？”
过了几息的功夫，灵族圣女才吞了一口唾沫：“林兄，我们这就动身如何？”
"Fine."
“ hǎo 。”
“好。”
With matters at hand, Lin Xuan had no room for regret.
shì dào lín tóu ， lín xuān zì rán yě bù kě néng yǒu shén me fǎn huǐ de yú dì le 。
事到临头，林轩自然也不可能有什么反悔的余地了。
"Thank you for your company. To avoid being seen, let's all use concealment techniques," the Fairy of the Spirit Clan said as she raised a jade hand. A pearl the size of a dragon's eye appeared in her palm and emitted a faint glow.
“ duō xiè dào yǒu ， bù guò wèi le bì miǎn shēn xíng bào lù ， wǒ men dōu shī zhǎn yǐn nì zhī shù rú hé ？”
“多谢道友，不过为了避免身形暴露，我们都施展隐匿之术如何？”
A silver light surged from the surface of the pearl, enveloping the woman's figure completely.
líng zú shèng nǚ yī biān shuō ， yī biān tái qǐ yù shǒu ， suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， zhǎng xīn zhōng chū xiàn le yī kē lóng yǎn dà xiǎo de míng zhū 。
灵族圣女一边说，一边抬起玉手，随着她的动作，掌心中出现了一颗龙眼大小的明珠。
With a soft laugh, she vanished without a trace.
cǐ zhū sàn fà zhe yíng yíng de guāng zé ， yī kàn ， jiù bú shì fán wù 。
此珠散发着莹莹的光泽，一看，就不是凡物。
Seeing this, Lin Xuan smiled slightly and clasped his hands. He made no other movements, but his figure became hazy before vanishing silently.
suí hòu yī dào yín xiá cóng nà míng zhū biǎo miàn pēn yǒng ér chū ， lüè yī fān yǒng ， jiù jiāng cǐ nǚ màn miào de shēn xíng chè dǐ zhào zhù 。
随后一道银霞从那明珠表面喷涌而出，略一翻涌，就将此女曼妙的身形彻底罩住。
Since Master had already acted, Moon wouldn't be idle either.
qīng xiào shēng zhōng ， cǐ nǚ jìng xiāo shī le gè wú yǐng wú zōng 。
轻笑声中，此女竟消失了个无影无踪。
She formed hand seals and emitted a large amount of阴气 around her body, enveloping herself completely. She then vanished without a trace as well.
lín xuān jiàn le ， wēi wēi yī xiào ， shuāng shǒu yī wò 。 chú cǐ yǐ wài ， méi yǒu rèn hé dòng zuò ， rán ér tā de shēn xíng ， què yī zhèn mó hú ， zuì hòu wú shēng wú xī de xiāo shī diào le 。
林轩见了，微微一笑，双手一握。除此以外，没有任何动作，然而他的身形，却一阵模糊，最后无声无息的消失掉了。
At their current level, concealment techniques were all mastered to perfection.
shào yé dōu yǐ dòng shǒu ， yuè ér yòu nǎ ér huì xián zhe 。
少爷都已动手，月儿又哪儿会闲着。
They moved forward silently, three figures vanishing into the distance.
shuāng shǒu qiā jué ， hún shēn shàng xià ， yī dà piàn yīn qì mào chū ， jiāng tā de shēn xíng bāo guǒ ， suí hòu 。 yě bù zhe hén jì de xiāo shī diào le 。
双手掐诀，浑身上下，一大片阴气冒出，将她的身形包裹，随后。也不着痕迹的消失掉了。
...
shí lì dào le tā men zhè ge děng jí ， yǐn nì shù dāng rán dōu shì gè yǒu xīn dé dì 。
实力到了他们这个等级，隐匿术当然都是各有心得地。
Passing through mountains, crossing plains, they soon left the forest behind and found themselves close to their destination.
shī zhǎn dé bù zhe hén jì ， suí hòu sān rén wú shēng wú xī de xiàng qián fēi qù 。
施展得不着痕迹，随后三人无声无息的向前飞去。
Despite no dangers encountered along the way, the trio remained vigilant. Their speed slowed down even more as they approached.
……
……
Finally, a vast valley came into view.
yuè guò gāo shān ， kuà guò cǎo yuán ， jǐn jiē zhe ， sēn lín yě bèi tā men shuǎi zài le hòu miàn ， jù lí mù dì dì yǐ jīng bù yuǎn 。
越过高山，跨过草原，紧接着，森林也被他们甩在了后面，距离目的地已经不远。
Lin Xuan sensed danger before entering. The True Spirit Burial Ground was also an ancient battlefield where countless true spirits had perished. Some ancient prohibitions lingered here, though mostly broken, still not to be underestimated; touching them could bring unforeseen dangers.
yī lù shàng méi yǒu yù jiàn rèn hé wēi xiǎn ， rán ér sān rén de què méi yǒu yīn cǐ fàng sōng jǐng tì ， tā men de dùn guāng fǎn ér yuè fā huǎn màn le yī xiē 。
一路上没有遇见任何危险，然而三人的却没有因此放松警惕，他们的遁光反而越发缓慢了一些。
Roar!
zhōng yú 。 yī zuò kāi kuò de shān gǔ chū xiàn zài le shì xiàn lǐ 。
终于。一座开阔的山谷出现在了视线里。
Suddenly, a roar echoed in their ears.
shàng wèi jìn qù ， lín xuān jiù wén dào yī gǔ wēi xiǎn de qì xī 。
尚未进去，林轩就闻到一股危险的气息。
The three were alarmed and hid behind a large rock simultaneously.
zhēn líng mù dì ， yì shì shàng gǔ zhàn chǎng ， yǔn luò zài zhè lǐ de zhēn líng duō dá bǎi jì 。
真灵墓地，亦是上古战场，陨落在这里的真灵多达百计。
Then, a massive creature emerged before their eyes.
yī xiē shàng gǔ jìn zhì yì cán liú zài zhè lǐ 。 suī rán duō bàn yǐ jīng pò sǔn ， dàn yī jiù bù kě xiǎo shì ， ruò shì chù dòng ， huì yíng lái mò míng wēi xiǎn dì 。
一些上古禁制亦残留在这里。虽然多半已经破损，但依旧不可小视，若是触动，会迎来莫名危险地。
"What is this?"
hǒu ！
吼！
Lin Xuan's pupils constricted. It resembled a lion but was different upon closer inspection; it emitted a heavy aura of death, clearly a dead entity, with only its spirit lingering here.
tū rán 。 yī shēng páo xiāo chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
突然。一声咆哮传入耳朵。
"Xuan Ni!"
sān rén dà jīng shī sè ， bù yuē ér tóng de shēn xíng yī shǎn ， cáng zài le yī kuài jù shí de hòu miàn 。
三人大惊失色，不约而同的身形一闪，藏在了一块巨石的后面。
Lin Xuan murmured. According to legend, the dragon had nine sons, and this one ranked fifth. Although not as formidable as a true dragon, it was still an extremely powerful true spirit.
suí hòu 。 yī páng rán dà wù ， zài yǎn lián zhōng fú xiàn ér chū 。
随后。一庞然大物，在眼帘中浮现而出。
He hadn't expected it to fall here.
“ zhè shì ……”
“这是……”
Despite emitting a heavy aura of death, its spiritual pressure was undoubtedly that of a Golden Transformation stage cultivator.
lín xuān tóng kǒng wēi suō ， nà shì yī xíng sì shī zi de guài wù ， rán ér zǐ xì yī kàn ， què yòu bìng bù xiāng tóng ， hún shēn shàng xià ， sàn fà zhe nóng liè de sǐ qì ， xiǎn rán ， zhè shì yī yǐ jīng sǐ qù de dōng xī ， rú jīn chū xiàn zài zhè lǐ de ， bù guò shì tā de wáng líng ér yǐ 。
林轩瞳孔微缩，那是一形似狮子的怪物，然而仔细一看，却又并不相同，浑身上下，散发着浓烈的死气，显然，这是一已经死去的东西，如今出现在这里的，不过是它的亡灵而已。
Lin Xuan wasn't afraid in a one-on-one fight but would attract other true spirits if he fought here.
“ suān ní ！”
“狻猊！”
His mind racing, Lin Xuan took a deep breath and performed the utmost concealment technique. He hoped as the Fairy of the Spirit Clan said, her spiritual sense was not up to condensation core stage; this way, they might escape.
lín xuān nán nán zì yǔ 。
林轩喃喃自语。
The opponent was approaching.
chuán shuō zhōng lóng shēng jiǔ zi ， zhè jiā huo pái míng dì wǔ ， suī rán wú fǎ yǔ zhēn lóng xiāng bǐ ， dàn yī jiù shì jí wéi qiáng dà de zhēn líng zhī yī 。
传说中龙生九子，这家伙排名第五，虽然无法与真龙相比，但依旧是极为强大的真灵之一。
In just a few seconds, it was nearly here. The massive spiritual pressure was intimidating, and Lin Xuan couldn't help feeling tense.
méi xiǎng dào yì yǔn luò zài zhè lǐ 。
没想到亦陨落在这里。
Fortunately, there were no risks. As expected, the opponent's spiritual sense didn't match its strength; it failed to detect their presence and walked past them as if nothing happened.
qí shēn shàng suī rán sàn fà chū nóng zhòng de sǐ qì ， dàn líng yā jué duì shì rú jiǎ bāo huàn de dù jié qī 。
其身上虽然散发出浓重的死气，但灵压绝对是如假包换的渡劫期。
"Phew!"
dān dǎ dú dòu lín xuān bù jù ， dàn yí dàn zài zhè lǐ dòng shǒu ， huì jiāng qí tā de zhēn líng yě yǐn lái dì 。
单打独斗林轩不惧，但一旦在这里动手，会将其他的真灵也引来地。
Lin Xuan sighed in relief.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， lín xuān shēn shēn hū xī ， jiāng liǎn qì yǐn nì zhī shù shī zhǎn dào le jí zhì ， dàn yuàn rú nà líng zú shèng nǚ suǒ shuō ， qí shén shí hái bù jí níng dān jí bié de xiū xiān zhě ， zhè yàng ， zì jǐ sān rén hái yǒu kě néng táo guò 。
脑海中念头转过，林轩深深呼吸，将敛气隐匿之术施展到了极致，但愿如那灵族圣女所说，其神识还不及凝丹级别的修仙者，这样，自己三人还有可能逃过。
He glanced at the Fairy of the Spirit Clan, who also looked shaken. Despite her words, she wasn't entirely confident either.
duì fāng zhèng jiē jìn zhè lǐ 。
对方正接近这里。
Fortunately, there were no risks!
duǎn duǎn de jǐ xī ， yǐ jìn zài zhǐ chǐ ， nà páng dà de líng yā lìng rén wèi jù ， yào shuō yì diǎn yě bù jǐn zhāng nà kěn dìng shì piàn rén dì 。
短短的几息，已近在咫尺，那庞大的灵压令人畏惧，要说一点也不紧张那肯定是骗人地。
"Let's go!"
hǎo zài yǒu jīng wú xiǎn ， duì fāng de shén shí guǒ rán yǔ shí lì yán zhòng bù fú ， gēn běn jiù méi yǒu fā xiàn sān rén de xíng jì ， páng ruò wú rén de zǒu le guò qù 。
好在有惊无险，对方的神识果然与实力严重不符，根本就没有发现三人的行迹，旁若无人的走了过去。
The three were resilient individuals; despite the initial setbacks, they wouldn't back down. Lin Xuan moved forward and entered the valley.
lín xuān sōng le kǒu qì 。
林轩松了口气。
Before them, a vast desert unfolded, completely different from what was outside.
zhuǎn tóu kàn kàn líng zú shèng nǚ ， tóng yàng de yī liǎn xīn yǒu yú jì ， cǐ nǚ zuǐ shàng suī rán shuō dé piào liàng ， dàn xīn zhōng de bǎ wò ， yě bìng fēi shí zú 。
转头看看灵族圣女，同样的一脸心有余悸，此女嘴上虽然说得漂亮，但心中的把握，也并非十足。
Was it due to the prohibitions or did this place originally form its own small world?
hǎo zài yǒu jīng wú xiǎn ！
好在有惊无险！
Lin Xuan didn't know and couldn't speculate.
“ zǒu ！”
“走！”
The true spirits' burial ground was always mysterious. He looked around; his current location seemed an endless desert.
sān rén dōu shì xīn zhì jiān rèn de rén wù ， suī rán gāng lái jiù jīng lì le yī xiē bō zhé ， dàn zì rán bù kě néng dǎ tuì táng gǔ ， lín xuān shēn xíng yī huǎng ， jiù jìn le shān gǔ 。
三人都是心智坚韧的人物，虽然刚来就经历了一些波折，但自然不可能打退堂鼓，林轩身形一晃，就进了山谷。
Lin Xuan released his spiritual sense, but he had no idea where the boundaries were.
“ zhè ……”
“这……”
So, this desert must be vast, covering tens of thousands of miles.
yǎn qián huò rán kāi lǎng ， rù mù suǒ jiàn de jǐng xiàng ， jìng yǔ wài miàn suǒ jiàn ， wán quán bù tóng 。
眼前豁然开朗，入目所见的景象，竟与外面所见，完全不同。
Suddenly, Lin Xuan's brows furrowed with concern. Since they had entered a small world, there might be other laws here; could Moon and that Fairy of the Spirit Clan be transported elsewhere?
jiū jìng shì jìn zhì de yuán gù ， hái shì zhè lǐ ， yuán běn jiù shì yī fāng xiǎo shì jiè ne ？
究竟是禁制的缘故，还是这里，原本就是一方小世界呢？
If they separated in such a place, reuniting would be extremely difficult.
lín xuān bù xiǎo de ， yě bù hǎo zuò tuī cè 。
林轩不晓得，也不好做推测。
With this thought, Lin Xuan's expression turned grim.
zhēn líng mái gǔ zhī suǒ ， yuán běn jiù shén mì mò cè 。
真灵埋骨之所，原本就神秘莫测。
Fortunately, his worries were unnecessary. Before he could fully think about it, distant light flickered, and both Moon and the Fairy of the Spirit Clan appeared in sight.
tā kàn le kàn yǎn qián ， zì jǐ suǒ zài de dì fāng ， jū rán shì yí wàng wú yín de shā mò 。
他看了看眼前，自己所在的地方，居然是一望无垠的沙漠。
This was indeed unexpected good fortune.
lín xuān jiāng shén shí fàng chū ， yě bù zhī dào biān jì zài hé chù 。
林轩将神识放出，也不知道边际在何处。
Moon was also surprised by the scene before her, while the Fairy of the Spirit Clan remained calm.
zhè me shuō ， cǐ shā mò zhī guǎng ， bù xià shù shí wàn lǐ zhī yáo 。
这么说，此沙漠之广，不下数十万里之遥。
"Oh, have you been here before?"
lín xuān tū rán méi tóu yī tiāo ， dān xīn qǐ lái 。
林轩突然眉头一挑，担心起来。
"Yes, I came with my adoptive father to search for treasures nearby. Unfortunately, we found nothing and quickly left," the Fairy of the Spirit Clan sighed.
zhè lǐ jì rán zì chéng yī fāng xiǎo shì jiè ， kěn dìng lìng yǒu tiān dì fǎ zé ， yuè ér hé nà shén me líng zú shèng nǚ ， huì bú huì bèi chuán sòng dào bié chù 。
这里既然自成一方小世界，肯定另有天地法则，月儿和那什么灵族圣女，会不会被传送到别处。
"Is that so?"
sān rén ruò shì fēn kāi ， zài zhè ge dì fāng xiǎng yào chóng jù kě jiù fēi cháng de jiān nán 。
三人若是分开，在这个地方想要重聚可就非常的艰难。
Lin Xuan didn't ask about their treasure-hunting experience; even if he did, they might not reveal it. As long as he kept an eye on them and prevented any tricks, that was enough.
yī niàn zhì cǐ ， lín xuān de liǎn sè ， bù yóu de shí fēn nán kàn 。
一念至此，林轩的脸色，不由得十分难看。
"Let's go!"
hǎo zài dān xīn shì duō yú ， zhè ge niàn tou shàng wèi zhuǎn guò ， yuǎn chù líng guāng zhòu qǐ ， yuè ér yǔ nà líng zú shèng nǚ chū xiàn zài le shì xiàn lǐ 。
好在担心是多余，这个念头尚未转过，远处灵光骤起，月儿与那灵族圣女出现在了视线里。
Lin Xuan didn't let the Fairy of the Spirit Clan lead but flew forward on his own.
zhè zhēn shì yì wài zhī xǐ 。
这真是意外之喜。
This casual attitude made the Fairy of the Spirit Clan slightly uncertain, but she couldn't show it; she obediently followed behind.
yuè ér kàn zhuó yǎn qián de jǐng wù yě yǒu xiē chà yì ， dǎo shì nà líng zú shèng nǚ ， yī liǎn de dàn rán yǐ jí 。
月儿看着眼前的景物也有些诧异，倒是那灵族圣女，一脸的淡然以极。
The three moved slowly.
“ ó ， xiān zi lái guò ？”
“哦，仙子来过？”
Whether by luck or not, they encountered no obstacles along the way. Perhaps because the desert was so vast, this initial journey went smoothly.
“ ń ， wǒ yǔ yì fù ， zì rán shì lái zhè fù jìn xún guò bǎo de ， kě xī yī wú suǒ huò ， wǒ men hěn kuài jiù tuì chū qù le 。” líng zú shèng nǚ tàn xī zhe shuō 。
“嗯，我与义父，自然是来这附近寻过宝的，可惜一无所获，我们很快就退出去了。”灵族圣女叹息着说。
Lin Xuan didn't release his spiritual sense to avoid alarming anything in the desert and relied on his sharp eyesight, which could see for miles.
duì fāng xún bǎo de jīng lì ， lín xuān bìng wèi xún wèn ， wèn le duì fāng yě bù yí dìng huì shuō ， fǎn zhèng cǐ xíng ， zhǐ yào dīng jǐn duì fāng ， ràng tā bú yào shuǎ huā zhāo ， zhè jiù duì le 。
对方寻宝的经历，林轩并未询问，问了对方也不一定会说，反正此行，只要盯紧对方，让她不要耍花招，这就对了。
Suddenly, Lin Xuan's face showed surprise and a hint of disbelief.
Lin Xuan listened to the explanation and his expression softened slightly. If what the other party said was true, the danger would indeed be reduced significantly.
But that was relative; they still couldn't afford any carelessness on this journey.
"Moon, what do you think?" Lin Xuan turned his head and sought his beloved wife's opinion.
"Everything is up to Master."
Moon lowered her gaze, presenting a demeanor of obedience, showing complete loyalty to Lin Xuan.
"Good!"
Lin Xuan did not hesitate. His expression towards the Fairy of the Spirit Clan was icy cold: "For the rest of our journey, we need to cooperate wholeheartedly. The fairy had better not play any tricks again; otherwise..."
Lin Xuan's sentence was left unfinished, but the threat was obvious. He wasn't someone who could be easily bullied or deceived.

"Eh..."
Suddenly, Lin Xuan's face showed surprise and a hint of disbelief.
