第三千五百六十四章 短暂的平静

dòng zuò líng qiǎo yǐ jí ， zhěng gè guò chéng gèng shì wú shēng wú xī ， rán ér pī miàn què jiàn yī huī hóng yì cháng de jiàn qì ， shēng shì hóng dà wú bǐ 。

动作灵巧以极，整个过程更是无声无息，然而劈面却见一恢宏异常的剑气，声势宏大无比。

The movements were nimble and silent, yet a grand sword aura suddenly appeared before Lin Xuan's face. The momentum was so powerful that it seemed to shake the very air.

dàn yī zhuǎn yǎn ， què yòu xùn sù yǐn qù ， suǒ yǒu de jiàn qì ， fǎng fú bèi yā suō zài yì qǐ ， huà wèi le yī xiān xì de jīng sī 。

但一转眼，却又迅速隐去，所有的剑气，仿佛被压缩在一起，化为了一纤细的晶丝。

But just as quickly, this aura vanished, compressing into an extremely thin crystal thread.

duì ài qī ， lín xuān kě bù huì cáng zhuō ， huà jiàn wèi sī de mì shù ， zì rán shì qīng náng xiāng shòu de 。

对爱妻，林轩可不会藏拙，化剑为丝的秘术，自然是倾囊相授的。

Lin Xuan would not hide his prowess when it came to his beloved wife. He imparted the secret technique of transforming swords into threads without reservation.

yuè ér rú jīn shí lì bù sú ， rén yě cōng míng ， suī shì dì yī cì shī zhǎn ， què yǐ dào le lú huǒ chún qīng de dì bù ， zhāo shì wēi lì páng bó ， shí jī jiǎo dù ， jiē ná niē dé qià dào hǎo chù 。

月儿如今实力不俗，人也聪明，虽是第一次施展，却已到了炉火纯青的地步，招式威力磅礴，时机角度，皆拿捏得恰到好处。

Although Mo'er had never used such a technique before, her skills were already refined and powerful. The招式 was executed with great force, and she perfectly judged the timing and angles.

é zǔ liǎn shàng hěn nǐ rén huà de lù chū wèi jù zhī sè 。

蛾祖脸上很拟人化的露出畏惧之色。

The ancestor moth's face showed a fearful expression as if it could understand what was happening.

kě zhè shí hòu zài hài pà míng xiǎn yǐ jīng wǎn le 。

可这时候再害怕明显已经晚了。

However, it was too late for fear now. All its attention had been focused on Lin Xuan, leaving no room to dodge or counterattack.

jiù zài gāng cái ， tā suǒ yǒu de zhù yì lì jiē bèi lín xuān qiān chě ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， yǐ jīng méi yǒu duǒ shǎn huò shì yìng fù de yú dì le 。

就在刚才，它所有的注意力皆被林轩牵扯，此时此刻，已经没有躲闪或是应付的余地了。

That thin crystal thread, though delicate, contained an awe-inspiring法则 power that struck the ancestor moth with great force.

nà jīng sī xiān xì wú bǐ ， lǐ miàn què yùn hán yǒu lìng rén xīn jì de fǎ zé zhī lì 。

那晶丝纤细无比，里面却蕴含有令人心悸的法则之力。

The thread collided with the moth, slicing it in half.

yī shǎn jí shì ， jiù yǔ é zǔ zhuàng zài le yì qǐ 。

一闪即逝，就与蛾祖撞在了一起。

There was little doubt about the outcome; black blood splattered everywhere. The ancestor moth's protective aura crumbled like paper. Despite its formidable nature, it was only a single exchange before the moth was split into two halves.

qià hǎo jiāng tā lán yāo zhǎn guò 。

恰好将它拦腰斩过。

Though severely injured, this creature had an extraordinary vitality and did not immediately perish from such wounds.

jī hū fēn háo xuán niàn yě wú ， hēi sè de xuè huā bèng jiàn ér chū ， hù tǐ líng guāng yǒu rú zhǐ hú ， táng táng é zǔ ， jǐn jǐn yí gè zhào miàn ， jiù bèi lán yāo zhǎn wèi liǎng duàn le 。

几乎分毫悬念也无，黑色的血花迸溅而出，护体灵光有如纸糊，堂堂蛾祖，仅仅一个照面，就被拦腰斩为两段了。

From the wound, countless tentacle-like light rays extended and intertwined, attempting to seal the injury.

zhòng shāng bú yòng shuō ， dàn zhè jiā huo de shēng mìng lì shí zài fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， zhè yàng de shāng shì ， jū rán bìng wèi yǔn luò 。

重伤不用说，但这家伙的生命力实在非同小可，这样的伤势，居然并未陨落。

"Unbreakable Body!"

cóng shāng kǒu chù ， yǒu wú shù chù shǒu yì bān de guāng xiá yán zhǎn ér chū ， jiāo zhī zài yì qǐ ， fǎng fú xiǎng yào jiāng shāng kǒu féng hé 。

从伤口处，有无数触手一般的光霞延展而出，交织在一起，仿佛想要将伤口缝合。

Lin Xuan's eyes narrowed in surprise. However, the unbreakability was merely relative. While this moth's body was incredibly resilient, it could still be destroyed under certain conditions.

“ bù miè zhī tǐ ！”

“不灭之体！”

Reviving from such an attack would be sheer folly!

lín xuān tóng kǒng wēi suō ， liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī jīng yà zhī sè 。

林轩瞳孔微缩，脸上露出一丝惊讶之色。

With his mind made up, Lin Xuan did not hesitate to act. His right hand shot out, releasing a series of sword techniques.

bù guò nà yòu rú hé ， suǒ wèi bù miè ， yě bù guò xiāng duì lái shuō ， yōng yǒu zhè zhǒng tǐ zhì de mó chóng yāo zú 。 shēng mìng lì què shí wán qiáng dào jí chù ， dàn yào shuō zhēn zhèng wú fǎ miè chú 。 nà yě wèi miǎn yán zhī tài guò 。

不过那又如何，所谓不灭，也不过相对来说，拥有这种体质的魔虫妖族。生命力确实顽强到极处，但要说真正无法灭除。那也未免言之太过。

A sharp cracking sound filled the air as he unleashed a barrage of colorful sword lights, like a storm of rain. The myriad sword rays swept towards the moth with overwhelming force.

xiǎng yào zài zì jǐ yǎn pí dǐ xià fù huó ， tài tiān zhēn le ！

想要在自己眼皮底下复活，太天真了！

While such attacks might have been manageable in its prime, the ancestor moth was now severely injured and had to face these strikes. It struggled to expel some black light threads that formed into a shower, but it was all in vain.

nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， lín xuān shǒu dǐ xià de dòng zuò ， nà kě shì yì diǎn dōu bù hán hù 。

脑海中念头转过，林轩手底下的动作，那可是一点都不含糊。

Pfft... pfft...

yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， yī dào dào jiàn jué yóu zhǐ jiān jī shè chū qù 。

右手抬起，一道道剑诀由指尖激射出去。

The sound of countless sword rays hitting the moth echoed. The creature's body disintegrated like a honeycomb.

suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， pò kōng shēng zhòu qǐ ， jiàn qì biàn dé fēi cháng de líng lì ， rú jí fēng zhòu yǔ 。 dàn jiàn màn tiān wǔ sè liú lí ， jiàn máng rú yǔ ， xiàng zhe duì fāng xí juǎn ér qù 。

随着他的动作，破空声骤起，剑气变得非常的凌厉，如疾风骤雨。但见漫天五色琉璃，剑芒如雨，向着对方席卷而去。

Lin Xuan then waved his sleeve and a primitive-looking treasure flew out.

é zǔ ruò shì quán shèng zhī shí ， zhè yàng de zhāo shì wēi lì suī rán bù sú ， dàn yě zú yǐ yìng fù ， dàn cǐ shí cǐ kè ， shēn shòu zhòng shāng 。 hái yào miàn duì zhè yàng de zhāo shù ， nà jiù yǒu xiē miǎn wéi qí nán le 。

蛾祖若是全盛之时，这样的招式威力虽然不俗，但也足以应付，但此时此刻，身受重伤。还要面对这样的招数，那就有些勉为其难了。

A clear voice sounded as the Vermilion Bird's shadow appeared, emitting fiery lotus flames that could burn anything to ashes.

zhǐ jiàn tā yī zhāng kǒu ， miǎn qiǎng jiāng yī xiē hēi sè de guāng sī tǔ chū ， huà zuò xù yǔ ， xiǎng yào dǎng zhù jiàn qì ， dàn zuì hòu de jié guǒ 。 què shì chī rén shuō mèng ér yǐ 。

只见它一张口，勉强将一些黑色的光丝吐出，化作絮雨，想要挡住剑气，但最后的结果。却是痴人说梦而已。

With ease, it enveloped the corpse of the ancestor moth, reducing it to ash in an instant.

pū pū pū ……

噗噗噗……

"Phew!"

lìng rén yá suān de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， rú yǔ dǎ jiāo hé ， é zǔ bèi wàn qiān jiàn qì yī sǎo ér guò ， xià chǎng yǒu rú fēng wō 。

令人牙酸的声音传入耳朵，如雨打蕉荷，蛾祖被万千剑气一扫而过，下场有如蜂窝。

Lin Xuan sighed with relief. A green flame emerged from the void, carrying an air of mystery.

suí hòu lín xuān xiù páo yī fú ， yī shì yàng gǔ piáo de fǎ bǎo fēi lüè ér chū 。

随后林轩袖袍一拂，一式样古朴的法宝飞掠而出。

His eyes widened as he recognized True Spirit Fire. The flying moths had been transformed by this fire into the ancestor moth.

qīng míng shēng dà zuò 。 zhū què de xū yǐng suí zhī fú xiàn ér chū ， dài qǐ màn tiān de hóng lián zhī huǒ 。 néng gòu fén jǐn shì jiān wàn wù 。

清鸣声大做。朱雀的虚影随之浮现而出，带起漫天的红莲之火。能够焚尽世间万物。

Even though Lin Xuan did not know which true spirit's legacy this was, it was undoubtedly useful to him. His expression betrayed a hint of covetousness; such an opportunity should not be missed.

yī xià zi ， jiù jiāng é zǔ de shī tǐ bāo guǒ ， jī hū bù fèi chuī huī zhī lì ， jiù jiāng qí huà wéi huī jìn diào le 。

一下子，就将蛾祖的尸体包裹，几乎不费吹灰之力，就将其化为灰烬掉了。

Lin Xuan waved his sleeve again, and a green glow emerged from his sleeve, transforming into a glowing hand that reached for the flame.

“ hū ！”

“呼！”

His movement was swift, almost like teleportation. However, just as he seemed to grasp it, the fire shimmered and escaped.

lín xuān sōng le kǒu qì ， què jiàn yī lǜ sè de huǒ yàn ， yóu xū kōng zhōng fú xiàn ér qǐ 。

林轩松了口气，却见一绿色的火焰，由虚空中浮现而起。

Lin Xuan was not about to give up easily. He used several secret techniques but found them ineffective. The fire was slippery, escaping his grasp in mere moments, vanishing into the distance beyond the momentary heaven scroll.

dài zhe yī gǔ wú fǎ yán yǔ de shén mì qì xī 。

带着一股无法言语的神秘气息。

Lin Xuan sighed.

lín xuān tóng kǒng wēi suō ， zhēn líng zhī huǒ 。

林轩瞳孔微缩，真灵之火。

True Spirit Fire could even challenge True Immortals; this ancient legend was indeed true.

gāng cái nà xiē fēi é jiù shì bèi qí róng hé ， cái huàn huà chū le é zǔ 。

刚才那些飞蛾就是被其融合，才幻化出了蛾祖。

Though Lin Xuan was usually carefree, he did not sink into despair over this. With a smile, he turned to call Mo'er away when the scene before him blurred.

suī rán bù zhī dào shì shén me zhēn líng de chuán chéng zhī huǒ ， dàn wú yí duì zì jǐ dà yǒu yòng chǔ 。

虽然不知道是什么真灵的传承之火，但无疑对自己大有用处。

The momentary heaven scroll had vanished on its own.

jí biàn yǐ lín xuān de chéng fǔ ， yǎn zhōng yě bù yóu de lù chū yī sī jì yú zhī sè ， zhè me hǎo de jī huì bù kě fàng guò 。

即便以林轩的城府，眼中也不由得露出一丝觊觎之色，这么好的机会不可放过。

"Phew!"

lín xuān xiù páo yī fú ， yī dào qīng xiá cóng yī xiù zhōng fēi lüè ér chū 。

林轩袖袍一拂，一道青霞从衣袖中飞掠而出。

Outside, the Spirit Clan's High Priestess was drenched in sweat and visibly exhausted from the battle. Although it appeared that Lin Xuan and Mo'er were fighting, she had done most of the work.

huàn huà chéng yī qīng guāng shǎn shǎn de dà shǒu ， xiàng zhe nà huǒ yàn zhuā guò qù le 。

幻化成一青光闪闪的大手，向着那火焰抓过去了。

If not for her control over the momentary heaven scroll, they might have attracted more true spirits earlier, leading to a disadvantageous situation with overwhelming odds against them.

dòng zuò xùn jí ， kān bǐ shùn yí ， lín xuān zhè yī zhuā ， kě shì chū le quán lì 。

动作迅疾，堪比瞬移，林轩这一抓，可是出了全力。

The High Priestess's efforts in this battle were significant.

kě xī bù guò shì bān mén nòng fǔ ér yǐ 。

可惜不过是班门弄斧而已。

"Highness, you've worked hard."

yǎn kàn zhe yǐ yào jiāng nà huǒ yàn zhuā zhù ， duì fāng bù zhī dào zěn me lüè yī mó hú ， jiù táo zhī yāo yāo diào le 。

眼看着已要将那火焰抓住，对方不知道怎么略一模糊，就逃之夭夭掉了。

Lin Xuan's expression softened slightly.

lín xuān zì rán shì bìng bù gān xīn de ， yī lián yòu shī zhǎn le hǎo jǐ zhǒng mì shù ， kě xī gēn běn jiù méi yǒu yòng tú ， nà huǒ yàn huá bù liú shǒu ， duǎn duǎn jǐ xī de gōng fu ， jiù táo chū le xū yú dòng tiān tú ， xiāo shī zài le tiān jì yuǎn chù 。

林轩自然是并不甘心的，一连又施展了好几种秘术，可惜根本就没有用途，那火焰滑不留手，短短几息的功夫，就逃出了须臾洞天图，消失在了天际远处。

"No need to be so formal. This is what I should do," the High Priestess smiled, but her face then stiffened: "However..."

lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì 。

林轩叹了口气。

"Go ahead and say it."

zhēn líng zhī huǒ lián zhēn xiān yě ná tā wú kě nài hé ， zhè shàng gǔ chuán yán ， guǒ rán shì zhēn de 。

真灵之火连真仙也拿它无可奈何，这上古传言，果然是真的。

"This journey was dangerous, as you must have guessed. Our greatest fear is being surrounded by the enemy. That’s why I prepared this momentary heaven scroll. While its powers are formidable, it consumes a great deal of mana. If we encounter such situations again, I won’t be able to use it many more times," she sighed.

lín xuān yuán běn shì hěn sǎ tuō de rén wù 。

林轩原本是很洒脱的人物。

"I understand... In any case, let's try our best to stay cautious."

dàn yě bù zhì yú yīn cǐ yù mèn xià qù 。

但也不至于因此郁闷下去。

Lin Xuan sighed; he understood the truth but had few good ideas. They could only proceed step by step and try to avoid drawing attention.

wēi wēi yī xiào ， zhèng dài zhāo hū yuè ér lí kāi ， yǎn qián de jǐng wù yī zhèn mó hú ， què shì nà xū yú dòng tiān tú zì jǐ xiāo sàn diào le 。

微微一笑，正待招呼月儿离开，眼前的景物一阵模糊，却是那须臾洞天图自己消散掉了。

After thorough discussion, they continued their journey. A brief rest would have been ideal for restoring mana, but it was unwise to linger in such a dangerous area.

“ hū ！”

“呼！”

They cautiously moved forward, avoiding using their spiritual senses to prevent awakening any long-slept monsters. As divine cultivators of the Transcendence stage, their vision was sharp, and Lin Xuan's Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eyes were particularly useful now.

wài miàn ， líng zú shèng nǚ hàn chū rú jiāng ， mǎn liǎn pí bèi zhī sè ， gāng cái yī zhàn ， biǎo miàn shàng ， shì lín xuān yǔ yuè ér dòng shǒu 。

外面，灵族圣女汗出如浆，满脸疲惫之色，刚才一战，表面上，是林轩与月儿动手。

Their careful approach paid off; they managed to avoid many dangers along the way, including some remnants of ancient prohibitions that they successfully bypassed.

shí jì shàng ， líng zú shèng nǚ cái shì qí zhōng chū lì zuì dà de yí gè 。

实际上，灵族圣女才是其中出力最大的一个。

After two days of travel through a dense forest, they emerged safely. The journey had been mostly uneventful, and they had avoided significant threats.

ruò bú shì tā kòng zhì qū shǐ xū yú dòng tiān tú ， kǒng pà zǎo jiù jiāng fù jìn de zhēn líng wáng hún quán dōu yǐn guò lái le 。

若不是她控制驱使须臾洞天图，恐怕早就将附近的真灵亡魂全都引过来了。

Finally, after traversing this vast forest, they stepped into an area where forests met mountains, making the terrain much more complex. The twilight shrouded everything, concealing unknown dangers.

dào shí hòu dí zhòng wǒ guǎ ， jí biàn sān rén de shí lì zài fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， duō bàn yě huì yǐn hèn yú cǐ chù 。

倒时候敌众我寡，即便三人的实力再非同小可，多半也会饮恨于此处。

They moved cautiously, refraining from using their spiritual senses to avoid awakening any dormant monsters. Their sharp eyesight and Lin Xuan's Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eyes helped them navigate safely.
