lín xuān jué de xīn tiào jiā sù ， biǎo miàn shàng ， què fēn háo yì sè yě wú ， xīn jí chī bù liǎo rè dòu fǔ 。
林轩觉得心跳加速，表面上，却分毫异色也无，心急吃不了热豆腐。
Lin Xuan felt his heart racing, but externally, there was no hint of it. He knew that anxiety only made matters worse.
zhè yù fú de jià zhí yuè shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， zì jǐ yuè bù néng zháo jí 。
这玉符的价值越是非同小可，自己越不能着急。
The value of this jade talisman was immense, and he couldn't afford to be hasty.
pǐ fū wú zuì huái bì qí zuì ， wú lùn rú hé ， yě bù néng ràng tiān dì èr lǎo ， kàn chū shén me duān ní 。
匹夫无罪怀璧其罪，无论如何，也不能让天地二老，看出什么端倪。
A common saying went: "A man without sin is guilty for carrying a gem." No matter what, he must not let the Two Elders of Heaven and Earth discern anything amiss.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， lín xuān liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng yǐ huī fù zhèng cháng le 。
脑海中念头转过，林轩脸上的表情已恢复正常了。
His thoughts raced as his expression returned to normal. He maintained an air of nonchalance but secretly observed the jade talisman in Tianxuan's hand.
yī jiù shì yī liǎn de xíng ruò wú shì zhī sè 。
依旧是一脸的行若无事之色。
Sure enough, it was a forgery. This much was certain.
què àn zhōng guān chá zhe tiān xuán shǒu zhōng de yù fú 。
却暗中观察着天璇手中的玉符。
He pointed at it with one finger. The surface of the jade talisman emitted a dazzling light, and the carvings of birds, beasts, insects, and fish seemed to come alive.
guǒ rán shì fǎng zhì zhī wù ， zhè yì diǎn yǐ jīng kě yǐ què dìng le 。
果然是仿制之物，这一点已经可以确定了。
Then, as he closed his fingers around it, an ancient scroll appeared before their eyes. It exuded mystery but was hard to make out clearly.
zhǐ jiàn tā yī zhǐ xiàng qián diǎn chū 。
只见他一指向前点出。
Indeed, the scroll was somewhat blurry, likely due to its being a forgery.
cǐ yù fú biǎo miàn líng máng dà zuò ， shàng miàn suǒ lòu kè zhe de niǎo shòu chóng yú ， dōu fǎng fú huó guò lái le 。
此玉符表面灵芒大做，上面所镂刻着的鸟兽虫鱼，都仿佛活过来了。
A red light then shot from its surface and vanished into the depths of the cloud sea.
suí hòu wǎng zhōng jiān yī hé ， yī fù gǔ piáo de huà juàn fú xiàn ér chū 。
随后往中间一合，一副古朴的画卷浮现而出。
The wind began to stir, and the vast expanse of clouds started to move. The scene was grand and majestic, with distant thunder rumbling in his ears. But soon, it fell silent again.
chōng mǎn le shén mì ， piān piān què yòu kàn bù qīng chǔ 。
充满了神秘，偏偏却又看不清楚。
The clouds parted, revealing a magnificent passageway a dozen feet wide.
bù cuò ， nà huà juàn yǒu xiē mó hú ， huò xǔ shì yīn wèi zhè shì yī jiàn fǎng zhì de bǎo wù 。
不错，那画卷有些模糊，或许是因为这是一件仿制的宝物。
Its beauty was breathtaking. As the Two Elders led the way, Lin Xuan followed closely behind Daolong Immortal and Fairy Hundred Flowers.
suí hòu yī lǚ hóng máng cóng qí biǎo miàn shè chū 。
随后一缕红芒从其表面射出。
Soon, they entered another beautiful architectural complex.
yī shǎn jí shì ， jìn rù dào le yún hǎi de shēn chù 。
一闪即逝，进入到了云海的深处。
Jade pavilions and palaces adorned with intricate carvings stood before them, more refined than the city outside, with a denser aura of spiritual energy. Among them was a magnificent palace gilded in gold, with "Yingxian Palace" inscribed on its plaque in flowing script.
fēng qǐ yún yǒng ， zhè yī dà piàn yún hǎi kāi shǐ yǒng dòng 。
风起云涌，这一大片云海开始涌动。
"Yingxian Palace!"
qì shì huī hóng ， yǐn yǐn yǒu fēng léi zhī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
气势恢宏，隐隐有风雷之声传入耳朵。
What an audacious claim! Though it wasn't entirely accurate, it wasn't too far off the mark either. After all, any cultivator who reached this level was not much different from a true immortal.
dàn hěn kuài què yòu jì jìng xià qù le 。
但很快却又寂静下去了。
"Brother Three, do you think the palace's claims are exaggerated?"
yún hǎi fēn kāi ， yī tiáo zhí jìng zhàng xǔ de tōng dào yìng rù yǎn lián 。
云海分开，一条直径丈许的通道映入眼帘。
Lin Xuan pondered silently, but Fairy Hundred Flowers' voice suddenly echoed in his ears.
měi lún měi huàn ， tiān dì èr lǎo zhè yī mǎ dāng xiān ， lín xuān dāng rán yě bú huì chí yí ， jǐn suí zhe nài lóng zhēn rén yǔ bǎi huā xiān zi fēi le jìn qù 。
美轮美奂，天地二老这一马当先，林轩当然也不会迟疑，紧随着鼐龙真人与百花仙子飞了进去。
"It is not an exaggeration. In ancient times, during the Great War of the Three Realms, King Asura led阴司鬼物to massacre the Spirit Realm. Later, three true immortals descended here, and Fairy Yutong was among those who greeted them. The name 'Yingxian Palace' was written by one of these immortals."
hěn kuài ， yòu yī dà piàn měi lì de jiàn zhù yìng rù yǎn lián lǐ 。
很快，又一大片美丽的建筑映入眼帘里。
"Oh?"
qióng lóu yù yǔ ， dàn yǔ wài miàn de xiān chéng xiāng bǐ ， míng xiǎn yào jīng zhì yī xiē ， líng qì yě gèng jiā de nóng yù 。
琼楼玉宇，但与外面的仙城相比，明显要精致一些，灵气也更加的浓郁。
Lin Xuan's heart skipped a beat as he looked up at the inscription. Indeed, it was unique, with an underlying trace of heavenly laws that were difficult to discern.
qí zhōng zuì yìng rù zhǔ mù dì ， shì yī zuò jīn bì huī huáng de gōng shì ， gāo bǎi zhàng yú ， shàng miàn de pái biǎn lóng fēi fèng wǔ de shū xiě zhe sān gè dà zì 。
其中最映入瞩目的，是一座金碧辉煌的宫室，高百丈余，上面的牌匾龙飞凤舞的书写着三个大字。
Clearly, this law was profound and complex, far beyond his current comprehension. But if he could fathom its meaning, it would be immensely beneficial.
“ yíng xiān gōng ！”
“迎仙宫！”
This was indeed a great opportunity, but as he thought further, he realized that Rainlawn Commercial Alliance had openly displayed the plaque here, indicating they were not afraid of anyone deciphering it.
hǎo dà de kǒu qì ， bù guò suī bù suàn míng fù qí shí ， dàn yě bù suàn tài lí pǔ ， bì jìng néng gòu lái dào zhè lǐ de xiū xiān zhě ， bù lùn cóng nǎ ge jiǎo dù 。 qí shí yě bìng bù bǐ zhēn xiān xiāng chà tài duō 。
好大的口气，不过虽不算名副其实，但也不算太离谱，毕竟能够来到这里的修仙者，不论从哪个角度。其实也并不比真仙相差太多。
Whether or not someone could truly understand it remained uncertain. He himself couldn't possibly do so in his current state of urgency.
“ zěn me ， sān dì ， nǐ shì jué de zhè gōng diàn de kǒu qì ， tài dà le ？”
“怎么，三弟，你是觉得这宫殿的口气，太大了？”
Instead of wasting effort on this, there was something more important to focus on—the ancient enigma.
lín xuān xīn zhōng mò mò sī suǒ ， bù céng xiǎng bǎi huā xiān zi de shēng yīn què chuán rù le ěr duǒ 。
林轩心中默默思索，不曾想百花仙子的声音却传入了耳朵。
Why did King Asura turn against the Spirit Realm?
“ qí shí bìng méi yǒu kuā zhāng de 。 shàng gǔ zhī shí 。 sān jiè dà zhàn kāi qǐ ， ā xiū luó wáng dài lǐng yīn sī guǐ wù ， jiāng líng jiè shā le gè xuè liú chéng hé 。 hòu lái sān wèi zhēn xiān jiàng lín dào cǐ chù ， jiù shì yǔ tóng xiān zi ， zài zhè lǐ yíng jiē xiān rén de ， yíng xiān gōng sān gè dà zì ， hái shì qí zhōng yī wèi xiān rén qīn shū 。”
“其实并没有夸张的。上古之时。三界大战开启，阿修罗王带领阴司鬼物，将灵界杀了个血流成河。后来三位真仙降临到此处，就是雨桐仙子，在这里迎接仙人的，迎仙宫三个大字，还是其中一位仙人亲书。”
Though Mo'er had advanced to the Tribulation Transcending stage and recovered some memories, she still didn't fully understand. Lin Xuan's inquiries hadn't yielded much success either. Now that all top-tier cultivators from the Three Realms were gathered here, including Daolong Immortal and Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox, his second sister had just brought up this topic.
“ ó ？”
“哦？”
He couldn't help but ask: "Sister, you mentioned true immortals descending due to Asura. But why would the ruler of阴司seek trouble with the Spirit Realm?"
lín xuān tīng le ， xīn zhōng yī dòng ， tái qǐ tóu lú ， zhǐ jiàn yíng xiān gōng sān gè dà zì lóng fēi fèng wǔ ， guǒ rán yǔ zhòng bù tóng 。 qí zhōng jìng yǐn yǐn hán yǒu yī sī tiān dì fǎ zé ， dàn jù tǐ shì shén me què yòu shuō bù qīng chǔ 。
林轩听了，心中一动，抬起头颅，只见迎仙宫三个大字龙飞凤舞，果然与众不同。其中竟隐隐含有一丝天地法则，但具体是什么却又说不清楚。
Lin Xuan's question was directed at Fairy Hundred Flowers, but he hoped for answers from all present, especially Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox.
xiǎn rán cǐ fǎ zé shēn ào fán fù ， yǐ jīng chāo guò zì jǐ mù qián suǒ néng lǐng wù 。
显然此法则深奥繁复，已经超过自己目前所能领悟。
As one of the Three Great Demons, she should be well-informed about this matter.
bù guò ruò shì néng gòu cān tòu de huà ， kěn dìng dà yǒu hǎo chù 。
不过若是能够参透的话，肯定大有好处。
Lin Xuan confidently awaited their explanations. To his surprise, it was Fairy Hundred Flowers who sighed: "Brother Three, your question is good, but I'm afraid I don't know."
zhè shuō shì yī dà jī yuán yě méi yǒu cuò ， bù guò zhuǎn niàn yī xiǎng ， yǔ lán shāng méng jì rán dà dà fāng fāng jiāng zhè pái biǎn guà zhe zhè lǐ 。 kěn dìng bù pà lái dào zhè lǐ de qiáng zhě cān wù 。
这说是一大机缘也没有错，不过转念一想，雨岚商盟既然大大方方将这牌匾挂着这里。肯定不怕来到这里的强者参悟。
"What? Sister, you don't know? That's impossible! You were there during the great battle," Lin Xuan was genuinely surprised.
shì dào rú jīn ， shì fǒu zhēn yǒu rén néng cān xiáng tòu chè yě bù hǎo shuō 。
事到如今，是否真有人能参详透彻也不好说。
"I was indeed there. Among those present here, only Brother Three didn't experience that calamity."
zì jǐ jí qiè zhī jiān ， kěn dìng shì zuò bú dào de 。
自己急切之间，肯定是做不到的。
"But why did Asura start a conflict with the阴司界? The specifics are unclear to most people."
yǔ qí bái fèi lì qì ， yǎn qián ， dào gèng yǒu ràng zì jǐ zài yì de dōng xī 。
与其白费力气，眼前，倒更有让自己在意的东西。
Fairy Hundred Flowers' voice echoed in his ears. Lin Xuan was even more perplexed: "The battle between two realms was chaotic; how could no one know the reason?"
nà biàn shì shàng gǔ zhī mí 。
那便是上古之谜。
"Indeed," Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox interjected unexpectedly, her tone suggesting she knew more than she let on.
ā xiū luó wáng wèi hé huì yǔ líng jiè jiāo wù 。
阿修罗王为何会与灵界交恶。
"But Asura is a prodigy of unparalleled talent. Each of us has met her, especially me. She's proud but never arrogant, treating others with kindness. In the past, there were occasional misunderstandings between the阴司界and Spirit Realm, but Asura never acted arrogantly and even occasionally restrained her subordinates..."
yuè ér suī yǐ xiū liàn dào dù jié qī 。 jì yì yě huī fù le yī xiē ， dàn zài zhè ge wèn tí shàng ， yī jiù shì měng lǐ měng dǒng dì 。
月儿虽已修炼到渡劫期。记忆也恢复了一些，但在这个问题上，依旧是懵里懵懂地。
"Yet, just before the conflict, she visited my kingdom of青丘, exchanging cultivation insights with me. She then left without any issues. However, in just a decade or so, she led阴司鬼物to attack the Spirit Realm. What could have caused this? I've been pondering it for years and still can't find an answer..."
lín xuān duō fāng dǎ tàn de jié guǒ ， yě shì shōu xiào bù duō ， rú jīn sān jiè dǐng jí dà néng jù zài cǐ chù ， bāo kuò nài lóng zhēn rén ， bāo kuò jiǔ wěi tiān hú ， ér qiě èr jiě yòu zhèng hǎo shuō dào le zhè ge huà tí 。
林轩多方打探的结果，也是收效不多，如今三界顶级大能聚在此处，包括鼐龙真人，包括九尾天狐，而且二姐又正好说到了这个话题。
"Didn't you ask her about this?"
bù shùn shì wèn yī wèn ， lín xuān zì jǐ dōu gǎn jué duì bù qǐ zì jǐ 。
不顺势问一问，林轩自己都感觉对不起自己。
"We did, but Asura refused to reveal anything."
fǎn zhèng yòu bú huì yǐn qǐ huái yí ， rú jīn yuè ér de shēn fèn ， yī jiù shì bù yí bào lù dì 。
反正又不会引起怀疑，如今月儿的身份，依旧是不宜暴露地。
Lin Xuan was speechless. He had hoped to uncover a hidden truth, only to end up with such an unsatisfactory conclusion.
“ jiě ， shuō dào shàng gǔ zhēn xiān jiàng luò ， sì hū shì yīn wèi ā xiū luó ， kě hǎo duān duān de ， nà wèi yīn sī zhī zhǔ wèi hé yào zhǎo líng jiè de má fán ne ？”
“姐，说到上古真仙降落，似乎是因为阿修罗，可好端端的，那位阴司之主为何要找灵界的麻烦呢？”
Just then, the Venerable Tianxuan spoke unexpectedly: "Actually, it's not entirely clear that no one knows the reason."
lín xuān zhè huà kàn shì zài wèn bǎi huā xiān zi ， qí shí shì děng dài zài chǎng suǒ yǒu de dà néng jiě huò ， yóu qí shì jiǔ wěi tiān hú 。
林轩这话看似在问百花仙子，其实是等待在场所有的大能解惑，尤其是九尾天狐。
"Oh? Do you know?"
shēn wèi sān dà yāo wáng zhī yī ， zhè zhōng jiān yǒu shén me yǐn mì ， tā yīng gāi shì zuì qīng chǔ bù guò dì 。
身为三大妖王之一，这中间有什么隐秘，她应该是最清楚不过地。
Daolong Immortal's face showed curiosity. He was eager to learn the cause of this mystery.
lín xuān xìn xīn mǎn mǎn de děng zhe dà jiā jiě huò ， méi xiǎng dào děng lái de ， què shì bǎi huā xiān zi de yī shēng tàn xī ：“ sān dì ， nǐ zhè ge wèn tí wèn dé bù cuò ， kě xī jiě jiě wǒ yě bù xiǎo de 。”
林轩信心满满的等着大家解惑，没想到等来的，却是百花仙子的一声叹息：“三弟，你这个问题问得不错，可惜姐姐我也不晓得。”
People, regardless of their strength, always have a sense of curiosity.
“ shén me ， jiě ， nǐ bù xiǎo de ， bù kě néng ba ， nà cì dà zhàn ， nǐ bú shì qīn shēn jīng lì guò ？” lín xuān shì zhēn yǒu diǎn jīng yà le 。
“什么，姐，你不晓得，不可能吧，那次大战，你不是亲身经历过？”林轩是真有点惊讶了。
"How could I possibly know the specific reasons? It's beyond my abilities," Venerable Tianxuan chuckled. "But remember, three true immortals once descended and agreed to meet Asura at the North Pole Yuan Guang Palace."
“ wǒ shì qīn shēn jīng lì guò ， qí shí zài chǎng de zhè xiē rén zhōng ， chú le sān dì nǐ ， shuí yòu méi yǒu jīng lì nà chǎng hào jié ne ？”
“我是亲身经历过，其实在场的这些人中，除了三弟你，谁又没有经历那场浩劫呢？”
"Asura accepted the meeting but saw two people before going."
“ rán ér yǔ yīn sī jiè de nà chǎng chōng tū ， yuán běn jiù xī lǐ hú tú ， jù tǐ yuán yīn ， shǎo yǒu rén néng gòu shuō dé qīng chǔ 。”
“然而与阴司界的那场冲突，原本就稀里糊涂，具体原因，少有人能够说得清楚。”
"Indeed, one was Fairy Yutong, while the other was Primordial Demon Ice Spirit. They had a lengthy discussion for half an hour. If anyone knows about ancient secrets, it must be these two."
Lin Xuan felt his heart racing, but externally, there was no hint of it. He knew that anxiety only made matters worse.
The value of this jade talisman was immense, and he couldn't afford to be hasty.
A common saying went: "A man without sin is guilty for carrying a gem." No matter what, he must not let the Two Elders of Heaven and Earth discern anything amiss.
