dùn shí jīn guāng dà zuò ， èr zhě wán měi róng hé ， lín xuān shēn tǐ biǎo miàn de jī fū dōu biàn chéng le chún jīn zhī sè ， qì xī zài yuán yǒu de jī chǔ shàng ， gèng shì zēng jiā le jìn bàn hái duō 。
顿时金光大做，二者完美融合，林轩身体表面的肌肤都变成了纯金之色，气息在原有的基础上，更是增加了近半还多。
Instantly, golden light surged forth, perfectly merging the two. Lin Xuan's skin turned pure gold, and his aura increased by nearly half.
tiān jié shàng wèi dù guò ， dàn cǐ shí tā suǒ biǎo xiàn chū lái de zhàn lì yǐ yuǎn yuǎn chāo guò le pǔ tōng dù jié hòu qī de xiū xiān zhě 。
天劫尚未渡过，但此时他所表现出来的战力已远远超过了普通渡劫后期的修仙者。
The heavenly tribulation had not yet been passed, but at this moment, his displayed combat power far surpassed that of ordinary cultivators in the late Tribulation Transcending stage.
kě xī chǔ jìng ， yī jiù shì wēi jī sì fú 。
可惜处境，依旧是危机四伏。
Unfortunately, his situation was still fraught with danger.
lín xuān shēn shēn hū xī ， yī dào yī dào de fǎ jué yóu zhǐ jiān jī shè chū qù 。
林轩深深呼吸，一道一道的法诀由指尖激射出去。
Lin Xuan took a deep breath, sending out wave after wave of incantations from his fingertips.
suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， qīng míng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn yǐ fēi huí lái le 。
随着他的动作，清鸣声传入耳朵，九宫须臾剑已飞回来了。
As he moved, clear sounds filled his ears as Nine Palaces Mustard Sword returned to him. "Break!"
“ pò ！”
“破！”
With one finger pointing forward, the eighty-one immortal swords gathered in different directions.
lín xuān yī zhǐ xiàng qián diǎn chū ， jiǔ jiǔ bā shí yī bǐng xiān jiàn fēn bié wǎng bù tóng de fāng xiàng jù hé 。
林轩一指向前点出，九九八十一柄仙剑分别往不同的方向聚合。
Simplifying complexity into simplicity, only nine swords remained.
huà fán wèi jiǎn ， zuì hòu shèng xià de zhǐ yǒu jiǔ bǐng xiān jiàn 。
化繁为简，最后剩下的只有九柄仙剑。
Their lengths varied, and their appearances were distinct. The spiritual energy attributes they emitted also differed greatly.
cháng duǎn bù yī ， shì yàng gè yì ， lián sàn fà chū lái de líng lì shǔ xìng yě shì dà bù xiāng tóng dì 。
长短不一，式样各异，连散发出来的灵力属性也是大不相同地。
Nine Palaces Mustard Sword, as its name implied, originally represented metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, and illusion techniques.
jiǔ gōng xū yú ， gù míng sī yì ， yuán běn jiù dài biǎo le jīn mù shuǐ huǒ tǔ ， fēng diàn léi hái yǒu huàn shù 。
九宫须臾，顾名思义，原本就代表了金木水火土，风电雷还有幻术。
At this moment, it merely reverted to its most basic form.
cǐ shí cǐ kè ， bù guò shì huán yuán chéng zuì jī chǔ de xíng tài bà le 。
此时此刻，不过是还原成最基础的形态罢了。
With his deep scheming, Lin Xuan certainly would not act aimlessly.
ér yǐ lín xuān de chéng fǔ ， dāng rán bú huì wú dì fàng shǐ de zhè me zuò 。
而以林轩的城府，当然不会无的放矢的这么做。
In his dantian, two元婴s floated with serious expressions, while the true spirit core spun wildly.
cǐ shí zài tā de dān tián zhī zhōng ， liǎng gè yuán yīng shén sè níng zhòng de xuán fú ， zhì yú zhēn líng nèi dān ， zé fēng kuáng yì cháng de xuán zhuǎn qǐ lái le 。
此时在他的丹田之中，两个元婴神色凝重的悬浮，至于真灵内丹，则疯狂异常的旋转起来了。
Multicolored and vibrant, nearly a hundred shadows of true spirits appeared one after another.
wǔ sè bān lán ， jìn bǎi zhǒng zhēn líng de xū yǐng yī yī fú xiàn 。
五色斑斓，近百种真灵的虚影一一浮现。
Although Lin Xuan had yet to pass through the heavenly tribulation, he had perfectly integrated the essence of nearly a hundred true spirits. As a result, he gained countless benefits, surpassing the effects of refining true spirit blood.
lín xuān tiān jié suī rán shàng wèi dù guò ， dàn yǐ jiāng jìn bǎi zhǒng zhēn líng de běn yuán wán měi róng hé ， bìng yīn cǐ ， huò dé le shù zhī bù jìn de hǎo chù 。
林轩天劫虽然尚未渡过，但已将近百种真灵的本源完美融合，并因此，获得了数之不尽的好处。
In other words, he had obtained the inheritance of nearly a hundred true spirits.
zhè kě bǐ liàn huà zhēn líng zhī xuè xiào guǒ gèng chū sè 。
这可比炼化真灵之血效果更出色。
Unfortunately, though Nine Palaces Mustard Sword was a rare treasure, it could not carry so much at once. Transforming into nine true spirits was already its limit.
huàn jù huà shuō ， tā yǐ jīng dé dào le jìn bǎi zhǒng zhēn líng de chuán chéng le 。
换句话说，他已经得到了近百种真灵的传承了。
This left Lin Xuan to choose.
kě xī jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn suī shì xī shì bǎo wù ， què bù néng tóng shí chéng zài zhè me duō ， huàn huà chū jiǔ zhǒng zhēn líng yǐ shì jí xiàn le 。
可惜九宫须臾剑虽是稀世宝物，却不能同时承载这么多，幻化出九种真灵已是极限了。
The shadows of one hundred true spirits flashed by, most vanishing like flowers in the night. But among them were nine that did not fade but became clearer instead.
zhè jiù yào kàn lín xuān zěn me xuǎn zé 。
这就要看林轩怎么选择。
Phoenix, True Dragon, Peacock, Great Peng, Vermilion Bird, Golden Crow, and White Tiger. The Nine-Headed Bird was also indispensable.
bǎi zhǒng zhēn líng de xū yǐng yī huǎng ér guò ， dà duō bù guò shì tán huā yī xiàn bà le ， dàn qí zhōng què yǒu jiǔ zhǒng ， bù jǐn méi yǒu jì miè ， fǎn ér yuè lái yuè qīng xī le 。
百种真灵的虚影一晃而过，大多不过是昙花一现罢了，但其中却有九种，不仅没有寂灭，反而越来越清晰了。
Except for the golden jade true toad which switched to a white tiger, all other true spirits were those Lin Xuan had first obtained and refined.
fèng huáng 、 zhēn lóng 、 kǒng què 、 dà péng ， zhū què 。 jīn wū ， qí lín ， hái yǒu bái hǔ ， zhì yú jiǔ tóu niǎo ， dāng rán yě shì bù kě huò quē de 。
凤凰、真龙、孔雀、大鹏，朱雀。金乌，麒麟，还有白虎，至于九头鸟，当然也是不可或缺的。
Choosing this way, it seemed clear that Lin Xuan's strategy was to avoid failure rather than seek success.
zhè qí zhōng chú le jīn yuè zhēn chán huàn zuò le bái hǔ ， qí yú de zhēn líng ， quán dōu shì lín xuān zuì zǎo dé dào líng xuè ， bìng jiāng qí liàn huà le de 。
这其中除了金玥真蟾换做了白虎，其余的真灵，全都是林轩最早得到灵血，并将其炼化了的。
After all, though he had received many true spirit inheritances, these few were the most proficient. Using them came naturally to him.
rú cǐ xuǎn zé ， xiǎn rán ， lín xuān bào de dǎ suàn shì bù qiú yǒu gōng dàn qiú wú guò 。
如此选择，显然，林轩抱的打算是不求有功但求无过。
Lin Xuan raised his head, emitting a clear roar toward the heavens as he waved his right hand over the Heavenly Cover.
bì jìng 。 tā dé dào de zhēn líng chuán chéng suī duō ， dàn zhè jǐ zhǒng ， què shì zuì wèi chún shú ， shǐ yòng qǐ lái ， yě shì zuì wèi dé xīn yìng shǒu de 。
毕竟。他得到的真灵传承虽多，但这几种，却是最为纯熟，使用起来，也是最为得心应手的。
As Lin Xuan moved, those true spirit shadows vanished from his dantian.
lín xuān yáng qǐ tóu lú ， kǒu zhōng yī shēng qīng xiào fā chū ， zhí chōng tiān jì ， tóng shí yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， cháo zhe tiān líng gài yī fú 。
林轩扬起头颅，口中一声清啸发出，直冲天际，同时右手抬起，朝着天灵盖一拂。
Next moment, they appeared above his head.
suí zhe lín xuān de dòng zuò 。 nà xiē zhēn líng xū yǐng jìng yóu lín xuān de dān tián xiāo shī bú jiàn le 。
随着林轩的动作。那些真灵虚影竟由林轩的丹田消失不见了。
Nine powerful auras spread out.
xià yī kè ， chū xiàn zài le tóu dǐng shàng kōng 。
下一刻，出现在了头顶上空。
The Nine Palaces Mustard Sword began to respond. Golden light shone forth, and then the nine true spirit shadows rushed toward different styles of immortal swords.
jiǔ gǔ qiáng dà de qì xī mí sàn ér chū 。
九股强大的气息弥散而出。
They fused together, transforming into实体like objects.
jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn zé kāi shǐ yìng hè ， líng guāng sì shè ， suí hòu nà jiǔ dào zhēn líng xū yǐng 。 fēn bié wǎng jiǔ bǐng bù tóng shì yàng de xiān jiàn pū guò qù le 。
九宫须臾剑则开始应和，灵光四射，随后那九道真灵虚影。分别往九柄不同式样的仙剑扑过去了。
True Spirit Sword Technique!
hù xiāng róng hé 。
互相融合。
Lin Xuan's divine technique was about to be unleashed.
yuán běn de xū yǐng jìng huà zuò le rú yǒu shí zhì zhī wù 。
原本的虚影竟化作了如有实质之物。
But this was not yet over.
zhēn líng huà jiàn jué ！
真灵化剑诀！
Lingering in his eyes were sharp glances as he uttered obscure ancient incantations. Then with a snap, the true spirits that seemed solid shattered into illusory shadows.
lín xuān shǐ yòng de shén tōng yǐ hū zhī yù chū 。
林轩使用的神通已呼之欲出。
If one had not witnessed it firsthand, they would find it hard to believe what happened next.
zhè shì tā yā xiāng dǐ de mì shù 。
这是他压箱底的秘术。
Lin Xuan's efforts seemed to have brought him back to square one.
kě shì qíng dào zhè lǐ bìng wèi jié shù 。
可事情到这里并未结束。
What was his purpose?
lín xuān de yǎn zhōng lì máng sì shè ， kǒu zhōng yǒu huì sè gǔ piáo de zhòu yǔ jí tǔ ér chū ， suí hòu shuāng shǒu yī wò ， cī lā zhī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ 。 tóu dǐng nà rú yǒu shí zhì dì zhēn líng ， chóng xīn huà zuò huàn yǐng ， jū rán cùn cùn suì liè diào le 。
林轩的眼中厉芒四射，口中有晦涩古朴的咒语急吐而出，随后双手一握，刺啦之声传入耳朵。头顶那如有实质的真灵，重新化作幻影，居然寸寸碎裂掉了。
The answer soon became clear.
ruò fēi qīn yǎn mù dǔ 。 shí nán xiāng xìn yǎn qián suǒ fā shēng de yí mù 。
若非亲眼目睹。实难相信眼前所发生的一幕。
As the light dimmed, a magnificent sight appeared. The fragmented shadows transformed into countless talismans the size of fists.
lín xuān fèi jǐn xīn kǔ ， shì qíng sì hū yòu huí dào yuán diǎn le 。
林轩费尽辛苦，事情似乎又回到原点了。
Each glimmered with profound mystery.
nà tā de mù dì jiū jìng shì shén me ？
那他的目的究竟是什么？
"Fall!"
dá àn hěn kuài jiù jiē xiǎo le 。
答案很快就揭晓了。
With a low shout, those divine talismons seemed alive and rushed toward Lin Xuan, enveloping him.
dài guāng máng shāo liǎn ， yī zhuàng guān de jǐng xiàng chéng xiàn yú yǎn lián ， tóu dǐng nà xiē suì liè diào de de xū yǐng ， jū rán huà wèi le shǔ yǐ wàn jì de quán tou dà xiǎo de fú wén 。
待光芒稍敛，一壮观的景象呈现于眼帘，头顶那些碎裂掉的的虚影，居然化为了数以万计的拳头大小的符文。
Like a storm, they entered his body's surface unseen.
měi yí gè dōu líng guāng shǎn shǎn ， xuán miào bù fán 。
每一个都灵光闪闪，玄妙不凡。
Then, multicolored glass-like light like flames burst from Lin Xuan’s body.
“ luò ！”
“落！”
The flame was dazzling. More astonishingly, it seemed to have spirit-like movement, condensing into armor in moments.
lín xuān yī shēng dī hē 。
林轩一声低喝。
True Spirit Armor!
nà xiē shén miào fú wén rú yǒu shēng mìng yì bān ， cháo zhe lín xuān pū le xià lái ， jiāng tā lǒng zhào zài lǐ miàn 。
那些神妙符文如有生命一般，朝着林轩扑了下来，将他笼罩在里面。
Lin Xuan’s aura grew significantly. This was natural; the fusion of True Spirit Sword Technique and Nine Heavens Divine Net had brought out his strongest state.
rú jí fēng zhòu yǔ ， mò rù lín xuān de shēn tǐ biǎo miàn bú jiàn 。
如疾风骤雨，没入林轩的身体表面不见。
Even the Nine Palaces Mustard Sword was integrated into the armor, another form of person-sword unity.
suí hòu ， wǔ sè liú lí ， yàn lì de xiá guāng rú huǒ yàn yì bān yóu lín xuān shēn tǐ biǎo miàn pēn yǒng chū lái 。
随后，五色琉璃，艳丽的霞光如火焰一般由林轩身体表面喷涌出来。
...
nà huǒ yàn xuàn mù yǐ jí ， gèng bù kě sī yì de shì huàng dòng jiān rú yǒu líng xìng yì bān ， piàn kè zhī hòu ， jū rán níng jié chū le yī tào kǎi jiǎ chū lái 。
那火焰炫目以极，更不可思议的是晃动间如有灵性一般，片刻之后，居然凝结出了一套铠甲出来。
The process seemed complex but took only an instant.
zhēn líng zhī kǎi ！
真灵之铠！
The consumption of time laws was immense.
lín xuān de qì xī ， yě yī xià zi biàn dà le xǔ duō ， zhè yě shì hěn zì rán de ， zhēn líng huà jiàn jué hái yǒu jiǔ tiān shén luó xiāng hù xiāng róng hé ， lín xuān rú jīn ， yǐ zhǎn shì chū tā de zuì qiáng zhuàng tài lái le 。
林轩的气息，也一下子变大了许多，这也是很自然的，真灵化剑诀还有九天神罗相互相融合，林轩如今，已展示出他的最强状态来了。
Above him, the golden lake rapidly shrunk until it vanished. The immortal talismans also dimmed to a point where they self-ignited and turned to ashes.
shèn zhì lián jiǔ gōng xū yú ， dōu róng rù le kǎi jiǎ lǐ ， zhè suàn shì lìng wài yī zhǒng zhuàng tài de rén jiàn hé yī 。
甚至连九宫须臾，都融入了铠甲里，这算是另外一种状态的人剑合一。
Liberated from the constraints of time power, thunderous sounds echoed as the Five Elements Tribulation descended like Mount Tai. It seemed that Lin Xuan would be crushed into dust.
……
……
This sounded absurd but was not exaggerated at all.
zhěng gè guò chéng shuō lái fán fù ， qí shí qián hòu bù guò shùn xī de gōng fu 。
整个过程说来繁复，其实前后不过瞬息的功夫。
The power of the Five Elements Tribulations was immense. Even a late-stage Tribulation Transcending cultivator in another's position would likely face death.
shí jiān fǎ zé de xiāo hào fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。
时间法则的消耗非同小可。
The path to immortality was full of hardships, and sometimes effort did not guarantee safety.
tóu dǐng shàng nà jīn sè de hú pō yǐ xùn sù suō xiǎo ， zuì hòu guī yú xū wú ， nà xiān jiè líng fú yě àn dàn dào jí chù ， zuì hòu wú fēng zì rán ， huà wéi huī jìn diào le 。
头顶上那金色的湖泊已迅速缩小，最后归于虚无，那仙界灵符也黯淡到极处，最后无风自燃，化为灰烬掉了。
Lin Xuan understood this, yet his expression showed no fear or despair.
shī qù shí jiān zhī lì de shù fù ， hōng míng shēng bù tíng de chuán rù ěr duǒ ， què shì nà wǔ xíng tiān jié yǐ tài shān yā dǐng de zhī shì ， pū dào jìn chù ， yǎn kàn ， jiù yào jiāng lín xuān niǎn wèi jī fěn le 。
失去时间之力的束缚，轰鸣声不停的传入耳朵，却是那五行天劫以泰山压顶的之势，扑到近处，眼看，就要将林轩碾为齑粉了。
Roaring, the stone man approached. It stood over a hundred feet tall, making Lin Xuan seem like an insignificant ant in comparison.
zhè huà tīng shàng qù lí pǔ ， qí shí què méi yǒu rèn hé kuā zhāng zhī chù 。
这话听上去离谱，其实却没有任何夸张之处。
Holding eighteen weapons, it glared coldly at Lin Xuan and struck.
nà wǔ xíng zhī jié de wēi lì hé děng páng bó ， biàn shì huàn yī míng dù jié hòu qī dà chéng de xiū shì yǔ lín xuān yì dì ér chǔ ， miàn duì zhè yàng de wēi jī ， duō bàn yě shì yí gè shēn sǐ yǔn luò de jié jú 。
那五行之劫的威力何等磅礴，便是换一名渡劫后期大成的修士与林轩易地而处，面对这样的危机，多半也是一个身死陨落的结局。
Lin Xuan’s face remained unchanged; he did not dodge but merely raised his right hand, emitting a beam from his palm as thick as his forearm.
xiān dào zhī lù ， chōng mǎn xīn kǔ ， yǒu shí hòu bìng bú shì nǔ lì ， jiù yí dìng kě yǐ huà xiǎn wéi yí 。
仙道之路，充满辛苦，有时候并不是努力，就一定可以化险为夷。
It flashed and vanished.
dào lǐ lín xuān dǒng ， dàn tā de liǎn shàng què méi yǒu yī sī yī háo de wèi jù yǔ jǔ sàng zhī sè 。
道理林轩懂，但他的脸上却没有一丝一毫的畏惧与沮丧之色。
Had one been slower, they might not have noticed its appearance.
páo xiāo shēng zhōng ， nà shí rén yǐ chōng dào le jìn chù 。
咆哮声中，那石人已冲到了近处。
But then, a light beam appeared on the stone man's forehead.
tā shēn gāo bǎi zhàng yú ， yǔ qí xiāng bǐ ， lín xuān jiù fǎng fú yī miǎo xiǎo de lóu yǐ 。
它身高百丈余，与其相比，林轩就仿佛一渺小的蝼蚁。
Flickering slightly, it transformed into an extremely sharp short spear.
shǒu zhōng chí zhe shí bā bān wǔ qì ， héng méi lěng shù ， chōng zhe lín xuān zá guò lái le 。
手中持着十八般武器，横眉冷竖，冲着林轩砸过来了。
Like an arrow, it pierced the stone man’s forehead.
lín xuān liǎn shàng sī háo biǎo qíng yě wú ， shèn zhì méi yǒu duǒ ， jǐn jǐn shì yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， cóng zhǎng xīn zhōng pēn chū yī dào ér bì cū de guāng bō 。
林轩脸上丝毫表情也无，甚至没有躲，仅仅是右手抬起，从掌心中喷出一道儿臂粗的光波。
Boom!
yī shǎn jí shì ， jiù xiāo shī bú jiàn le 。
一闪即逝，就消失不见了。
Golden light enveloped the stone man’s head. Cracks appeared like spider webs, rapidly covering the giant’s surface.
ruò shì fǎn yìng màn diǎn de ， huò xǔ gēn běn jiù bú huì fā xiàn tā chū xiàn guò 。
若是反应慢点的，或许根本就不会发现它出现过。
Then, the stone man collapsed entirely, turning into ordinary stones that fell to the ground. Lin Xuan's crisis was resolved with a single strike.
kě xià yī kè ， nà shí rén de é tóu ， què yǒu yī dào guāng bō fú xiàn ér chū 。
可下一刻，那石人的额头，却有一道光波浮现而出。
The entire process was swift and easy. With one hit, he defeated an opponent.
lüè yī mó hú ， jiù biàn huà chéng yī fēng ruì yì cháng de duǎn gē 。
略一模糊，就变化成一锋锐异常的短戈。
How effortless it seemed, even to himself, was beyond belief.
rú lì jiàn yì bān cì luò ， zhā rù le nà shí rén é tóu de zhèng zhōng 。
如利箭一般刺落，扎入了那石人额头的正中。
This secret technique recorded in the Black Moon Heaven Witch Technique truly was formidable. Fusing Golden Body Incarnation with True Spirit Sword Technique could produce such powerful combat power?
hōng ！
轰！
Lin Xuan was dumbfounded or overjoyed, perhaps both.
guāng máng sì shè ， lǒng zhào zhù shí rén de é tóu 。
光芒四射，笼罩住石人的额头。
But danger did not end. Red light surged as hundreds of fire serpents approached.
liè wén chū xiàn le ， rú zhī zhū wǎng yì bān ， xùn sù pá mǎn zhè páng rán dà wù de biǎo miàn 。
裂纹出现了，如蜘蛛网一般，迅速爬满这庞然大物的表面。
The heavenly tribulation knew no fear and would not retreat even if the enemy's strength was formidable.
Instantly, golden light surged forth, perfectly merging the two. Lin Xuan's skin turned pure gold, and his aura increased by nearly half.
The heavenly tribulation had not yet been passed, but at this moment, his displayed combat power far surpassed that of ordinary cultivators in the late Tribulation Transcending stage.
Unfortunately, his situation was still fraught with danger.

True Spirit Armor!

Even the Nine Palaces Mustard Sword was integrated into the armor, another form of person-sword unity.
