tiān dì èr lǎo zhè biān de qíng kuàng qiě bù tí , zài shuō lín xuān huí dào dòng fǔ , liǎn shàng míng xiǎn lù chū qīng sōng zhī sè 。
天地二老这边的情况且不提,再说林轩回到洞府,脸上明显露出轻松之色。
Meanwhile, back at the Immortal Welcoming Palace, Lin Xuan returned to his cave dwelling and visibly relaxed.
tā wàn wàn xiǎng bú dào tiān dì èr lǎo shì zhè me lǎo jiān jù huá de xiū xiān zhě 。
他万万想不到天地二老是这么老奸巨猾的修仙者。
He never expected that the Two Ancients of Heaven and Earth were such cunning cultivators.
yī jiàn qíng shì bù lì , jiù zhǔ dòng lái zhǎo zì jǐ , bīng shì qián xián , xiū fù bǐ cǐ de guān xì 。
一见情势不利,就主动来找自己,冰释前嫌,修复彼此的关系。
Seeing the situation turn unfavorable, they proactively sought him out, mending their broken relationship and reconciling with each other.
wò shǒu yán hé ?
握手言和?
A handshake and peace agreement?
lín xuān hé cháng bú shì qiú zhī bù dé 。
林轩何尝不是求之不得。
Lin Xuan was more than willing to accept this.
bì jìng bú dào wàn bù dé yǐ , shuí yě bù xiǎng píng kōng shù dí 。
毕竟不到万不得已,谁也不想凭空树敌。
After all, no one wanted to create an enemy for nothing.
lín xuān hái dān xīn pán táo huì shàng , duì fāng huì yǒu yì wéi nán zì jǐ 。
林轩还担心蟠桃会上,对方会有意为难自己。
He still worried that during the Peach Blossom Feast, his opponents might deliberately make things difficult for him.
rú jīn kàn lái , zhè zhǒng xiǎng fǎ chún shǔ duō yú , duì fāng fǎn ér dā yìng tí gōng biàn lì 。
如今看来,这种想法纯属多余,对方反而答应提供便利。
Now it seemed such concerns were unnecessary; instead, they had offered assistance.
tài hǎo le !
太好了!
That was great!
yǒu tiān dì èr lǎo xiāng zhù , pán táo huì shàng , ruò shì chū xiàn xīn yí de gōng fǎ bǎo wù , dào shǒu de jī huì wú yí huì zēng jiā xǔ duō 。
有天地二老相助,蟠桃会上,若是出现心仪的功法宝物,到手的机会无疑会增加许多。
With the Two Ancients of Heaven and Earth's support, if he encountered desirable treasures or cultivation techniques at the Peach Blossom Feast, his chances of obtaining them would significantly increase.
tā dào bù dān xīn duì fāng xū yǔ wēi yí , zhè diǎn kàn rén de yǎn guāng zì jǐ hái bú huì nòng cuò 。
他倒不担心对方虚与委蛇,这点看人的眼光自己还不会弄错。
He wasn't worried about their insincere behavior; he trusted his judgment on people.
wéi yī de kě xī , jiù shì méi néng jiè jī dǎ tàn líng luó yù fú 。
唯一的可惜,就是没能借机打探绫罗玉符。
The only regret was that he couldn’t take this opportunity to probe into the Silk Robe Jade Talisman.
qí shí lín xuān yě xiǎng guò páng qiāo cè jī , rán ér tiān dì èr lǎo què bú shì nà me róng yì hù nòng dì , yí bù xiǎo xīn jiù yǒu kě néng nòng qiǎo chéng zhuō , suǒ yǐ quán héng lì bì lín xuān hái shì rěn zhù le méi shuō 。
其实林轩也想过旁敲侧击,然而天地二老却不是那么容易糊弄地,一不小心就有可能弄巧成拙,所以权衡利弊林轩还是忍住了没说。
Actually, Lin Xuan had considered a roundabout approach, but the Two Ancients of Heaven and Earth were not easily fooled. A wrong move could backfire, so after weighing the pros and cons, he decided against it for now.
xià huí zài zhǎo jī huì hǎo le 。
下回再找机会好了。
He would find another chance later.
lín xuān jì xù pán xī dǎ zuò , zhè yī cì dāng rán bú shì huī fù fǎ lì , ér shì jìn jù lí miàn duì lǐng yù qiáng zhě , ràng tā dà yǒu gǎn wù 。
林轩继续盘膝打坐,这一次当然不是恢复法力,而是近距离面对领域强者,让他大有感悟。
Lin Xuan continued to sit cross-legged, this time not to recover his power, but to gain insights from facing a domain powerhouse up close.
zhè yàng de líng gǎn dāng rán bù néng shī zhī jiāo bì , kàn néng fǒu shùn shì ràng zì jǐ de shí lì zài wǎng shàng tí shēng yī jí 。
这样的灵感当然不能失之交臂,看能否顺势让自己的实力再往上提升一级。
Such inspiration shouldn't be wasted; perhaps he could push his strength to the next level.
píng xīn lái shuō , zhè bù róng yì 。
平心来说,这不容易。
It wouldn’t be easy, but without trying, how would anyone know?
dàn ruò bù nǔ lì , shuí yòu néng kěn dìng , shì yí dìng zuò bú dào dì 。
但若不努力,谁又能肯定,是一定做不到地。
There was still some time before the Peach Blossom Feast began. With nothing else to do, Lin Xuan decided to seize this opportunity for cultivation.
yào shì le cái xiǎo de 。
要试了才晓得。
...
fǎn zhèng jù lí pán táo huì kāi mù , hái yǒu yī xiē gōng fu 。 xián zhe yě shì wú shì kě zuò , yǒu zhè yàng de jī yuán , lín xuān dāng rán yào nǔ lì xiū xíng le 。
反正距离蟠桃会开幕,还有一些功夫。闲着也是无事可做,有这样的机缘,林轩当然要努力修行了。
At another secret room in a different cave dwelling of the Immortal Welcoming Palace, two figures were whispering in hushed tones.
……
……
"Big Sister, have you heard? That Lin boy also came to the Peach Blossom Feast," a voice with some allure said.
yǔ cǐ tóng shí , zài yíng xiān gōng lìng yī chù dòng fǔ de mì shì nèi , yǒu liǎng rén duǒ zài àn chù , shén mì xī xī de jiāo tán zhe shén me 。
与此同时,在迎仙宫另一处洞府的密室内,有两人躲在暗处,神秘兮兮的交谈着什么。
"What! Lin boy is here too. How did he get the qualification for the Peach Blossom Feast? Could this little guy have advanced to the late-stage Transcendation?" another cold voice replied as she slowly turned her head.
“ jiě jiě , nǐ tīng shuō le me , nà lín xiǎo zi 。 yě lái pán táo huì le 。” yī yǒu xiē jiāo mèi de shēng yīn , chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
“姐姐,你听说了么,那林小子。也来蟠桃会了。”一有些娇媚的声音,传入耳朵。
It was a tall woman, beautiful and young, with long silver hair reaching down to her waist.
“ shén me , lín xiǎo zi yě lái le , tā néng yǒu cān jiā pán táo huì de zī gé , nán dào shuō , zhè xiǎo jiā huo , yě xiū liàn dào dù jié hòu qī le ?” lìng yí gè qīng lěng de shēng yīn xiǎng qǐ , bìng qiě huǎn huǎn zhuǎn guò tóu lú 。
“什么,林小子也来了,他能有参加蟠桃会的资格,难道说,这小家伙,也修炼到渡劫后期了?”另一个清冷的声音响起,并且缓缓转过头颅。
Ice Spirit!
jìng shì yī shēn cái gāo tiǎo de nǚ zǐ , róng mào xiù lì 。 nián qīng yǐ jí , yī tóu yín sè de xiù fà zhǎng kě jí dì 。
竟是一身材高挑的女子,容貌秀丽。年轻以极,一头银色的秀发长可及地。
This must be one of the True Demon Primordial Beings. The other voice's owner could only be known as
bīng pò !
冰魄!
Precious Snake!
jìng shì zhè wèi zhēn mó shǐ zǔ , nà me lìng wài yí gè shēng yīn zhǔ rén de shēn fèn 。 yě jiù hū zhī yù chū 。
竟是这位真魔始祖,那么另外一个声音主人的身份。也就呼之欲出。
These two had also come to the Peach Blossom Feast. Given their status as True Demon Primordial Beings, they naturally had the right to reside in the Immortal Welcoming Palace.
bǎo shé !
宝蛇!
"Big Sister guessed correctly. This Lin boy has not only advanced to late-stage Transcendation but is incredibly powerful, almost on par with a domain powerhouse."
zhè liǎng gè jiā huo yě lái dào pán táo huì le 。 ér yǐ tā men zhēn mó shǐ zǔ de shēn fèn , zì rán shì yǒu jū zhù zài yíng xiān gōng de zī gé 。
这两个家伙也来到蟠桃会了。而以她们真魔始祖的身份,自然是有居住在迎仙宫的资格。
"What? On par with a domain?"
“ jiě jiě cāi dé bù cuò , zhè lín xiǎo zi bù jǐn xiū liàn dào le dù jié hòu qī , ér qiě shí lì qiáng dé lí pǔ , jī hū néng gòu pì měi lǐng yù qiáng zhě 。”
“姐姐猜得不错,这林小子不仅修炼到了渡劫后期,而且实力强得离谱,几乎能够媲美领域强者。”
Ice Spirit was taken aback and then burst into a silent laugh: "Sister Precious Snake, I know you hate Lin Xuan to the core, but there's no need to exaggerate. Ordinary late-stage Transcendation beings cannot match a domain even Arur had that ability."
“ shén me , pì měi lǐng yù ?”
“什么,媲美领域?”
"Even if their realms are similar, whether they possess domains makes all the difference. Challenging across realms is nothing special; I don't believe that Lin boy can challenge a domain."
bīng pò yī dāi 。 suí hòu yǎ rán shī xiào le qǐ lái :“ bǎo shé mèi mèi , wǒ zhī dào nǐ hèn lín xuān rù gǔ , dàn yě bù yòng zhè yàng kuā dà qí cí , pǔ tōng de dù jié hòu qī pì měi lǐng yù , biàn shì dāng nián de ā xiū luó 。 yě zuò bú dào zhè yì diǎn de 。”
冰魄一呆。随后哑然失笑了起来:“宝蛇妹妹,我知道你恨林轩入骨,但也不用这样夸大其词,普通的渡劫后期媲美领域,便是当年的阿修罗。也做不到这一点的。”
"Big Sister, I exaggerated a bit, but this Lin boy is far more extraordinary than you imagine. Facing Jihe Immortal alone with just his sword, he didn’t fall behind at all, and even when the other used a domain, he was helpless," Precious Snake quickly explained.
“ jí biàn bǐ cǐ de jìng jiè xiāng chà fǎng fú , dàn shì fǒu yōng yǒu lǐng yù 。 zhè chā jù , què shì yǒu tiān rǎng zhī bié dì , yuè jí tiǎo zhàn gēn běn méi yǒu shén me liǎo bù qǐ , wǒ bù xiāng xìn , nà lín xiǎo zi kě yǐ tiǎo zhàn lǐng yù 。”
“即便彼此的境界相差仿佛,但是否拥有领域。这差距,却是有天壤之别地,越级挑战根本没有什么了不起,我不相信,那林小子可以挑战领域。”
"Is that so?"
“ jiě jiě míng jiàn , wǒ shì kuā dà le yī xiē , dàn nà lín xiǎo zi , yě yuǎn bǐ nǐ xiǎng xiàng de lí pǔ , dān rén dú jiàn miàn duì dì jī sàn rén , sī háo xià fēng bù luò , jí biàn duì fāng shǐ yòng le lǐng yù , yě ná tā wú kě nài hé 。” bǎo shé shèng zǔ lián máng rú cǐ zhè bān de shuō 。
“姐姐明鉴,我是夸大了一些,但那林小子,也远比你想象的离谱,单人独剑面对地玑散人,丝毫下风不落,即便对方使用了领域,也拿他无可奈何。”宝蛇圣祖连忙如此这般的说。
Ice Spirit listened in silence before slowly closing her eyes.
“ shì me ?”
“是么?”
Precious Snake’s face showed a hint of surprise. Could Big Sister be preparing to use a secret technique capable of reversing the laws of heaven and earth?
bīng pò tīng le , què bù shuō huà , fǎn ér huǎn huǎn bì shàng le shuāng móu 。
冰魄听了,却不说话,反而缓缓闭上了双眸。
Indeed, a white mist emerged from Ice Spirit's body.
bǎo shé liǎn shàng shǎn guò yī sī yà rán , nán dào jiě jiě jìng zhǔn bèi shǐ yòng nà néng gòu nì zhuǎn qián kūn de mì shù ?
宝蛇脸上闪过一丝讶然,难道姐姐竟准备使用那能够逆转乾坤的秘术?
Another Ice Spirit Primordial Being appeared, resembling but not being an actual entity, formed by her three souls and six spirits.
guǒ rán , yī lǚ bái qì cóng bīng pò de shēn shàng yī chōng ér chū 。
果然,一缕白气从冰魄的身上一冲而出。
In the next moment, she transformed into a gentle breeze, leaving the cave dwelling.
yòu yī wèi bīng pò shǐ zǔ , yǔ běn tǐ xiāng bǐ , xiǎn de shì wéi miào wéi xiào , dàn què bìng fēi shí tǐ , ér shì yóu tā de sān hún liù pò biàn huàn ér chéng dì 。
又一位冰魄始祖,与本体相比,显得是惟妙惟肖,但却并非实体,而是由她的三魂六魄变幻而成地。
Instantly, she arrived at the location where Lin Xuan had clashed with the Two Ancients of Heaven and Earth yesterday.
xià yī kè , huà zuò yī lǚ qīng fēng , lí kāi le dòng fǔ 。
下一刻,化作一缕清风,离开了洞府。
Ice Spirit raised her hand.
shùn xī jiān , jiù lái dào le zuó tiān lín xuān yǔ tiān dì èr lǎo chōng tū de dì diǎn le 。
瞬息间,就来到了昨天林轩与天地二老冲突的地点了。
A surge of power flowed throughout her body, and an invisible wave spread out, causing space to ripple.
bīng pò shǒu yī tái 。
冰魄手一抬。
An incredible scene unfolded.
hún shēn shàng xià xiōng yǒng de fǎ lì liú zhuǎn , tóng shí yī gǔ wú xíng de bō dòng mí sàn kāi , kōng jiān yì suí zhī bō dòng le qǐ lái 。
浑身上下汹涌的法力流转,同时一股无形的波动弥散开,空间亦随之波动了起来。
The originally calm air transformed into a colorful scroll. The events that happened here yesterday were vividly displayed before her eyes.
bù kě sī yì de yí mù chū xiàn 。
不可思议的一幕出现。
Time Law!
yuán běn píng jìng de kōng qì , fǎng fú biàn chéng le yī fú duō cǎi de huà juàn , zuó tiān zhè lǐ suǒ fā shēng de yí mù , qīng xī yì cháng de xiǎn xiàn 。
原本平静的空气,仿佛变成了一幅多彩的画卷,昨天这里所发生的一幕,清晰异常的显现。
Ice Spirit was indeed one of the top True Demon Primordial Beings.
shí jiān fǎ zé !
时间法则!
She had mastered Time Law to such an extent; she could replay the events from yesterday.
bīng pò bù kuì shì zhēn mó shǐ zǔ zhōng dǐng ér jiān ér de rén wù 。
冰魄不愧是真魔始祖中顶儿尖儿的人物。
...
duì yú shí jiān fǎ zé , jū rán zhǎng wò dào zhè zhǒng chéng dù , zuó tiān suǒ fā shēng de yí mù mù , bèi tā chóng xīn zhǎn xiàn chū lái le 。
对于时间法则,居然掌握到这种程度,昨天所发生的一幕幕,被她重新展现出来了。
On the other side, Ice Spirit opened her eyes in the cave dwelling.
dāng shí tā bù zài cǐ chù , rú jīn què néng gòu qīn yǎn mù dǔ , bīng pò de shén tōng dàng zhēn lìng rén tàn fú 。
当时她不在此处,如今却能够亲眼目睹,冰魄的神通当真令人叹服。
"Big Sister, how is it? You've seen this with your own eyes. Do you believe that little sister didn't lie about Lin boy's strength?"
lín xuān tóng yǔ lán shāng méng chōng tū de jīng guò , zài cì wán zhěng de chéng xiàn ér chū 。
林轩同雨岚商盟冲突的经过,再次完整的呈现而出。
"Mm."
ér bīng pò zé zhàn zài yī páng jìng jìng de mù dǔ 。
而冰魄则站在一旁静静的目睹。
This time, Ice Spirit nodded: "What you said is right. This Lin boy can no longer be ignored. While his current power isn’t overwhelming, he still poses a significant threat to us. The issue is how fast he’s growing; if left unchecked, he will eventually become an internal enemy."
liáng jiǔ , tā tàn le kǒu qì 。
良久,她叹了口气。
"Oh, so Big Sister plans to act?"
hún shēn bèi rǔ bái sè de mó wù bāo guǒ , suí hòu yú yuán dì xiāo shī bú jiàn le 。
浑身被乳白色的魔雾包裹,随后于原地消失不见了。
Precious Snake's face showed excitement. She had hated Lin Xuan for a long time.
……
……
"Indeed. This grudge between us needs to be settled sooner or later. Besides, the bracelet from Arur’s Seven Treasures is still in his possession; no matter what, I must reclaim it," Ice Spirit said calmly.
lìng yī biān , dòng fǔ nèi de bīng pò zhēng kāi le yǎn 。
另一边,洞府内的冰魄睁开了眼。
"When will you act?"
“ jiě jiě , rú hé , nǐ zì jǐ qīn yǎn mù dǔ , zhī dào xiǎo mèi wǒ méi shuō jiǎ huà le ba , nà lín xiǎo zi de shí lì , què shí lìng rén cè mù 。”
“姐姐,如何,你自己亲眼目睹,知道小妹我没说假话了吧,那林小子的实力,确实令人侧目。”
"At any moment. Impatience gets one nowhere. The Peach Blossom Feast isn't an option. After this, I won't let that little guy leave the Jade Pool alive."
“ ń 。”
“嗯。”
"Big Sister has already made up your mind? Remember, although Lin boy himself is nothing special, he is True Dragon Immortal's sworn brother and has close ties with Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox and Cold Moon Immortal. We are in the Spirit Realm; don’t you fear retaliation from powerful beings here?"
zhè yī cì bīng pò diǎn le diǎn tóu :“ nǐ suǒ yán bù cuò , zhè lín xiǎo zi , què shí bù néng zài fàng rèn bù guǎn , qí shí guāng cóng shí lì lái shuō , rú jīn de tā , yě bù suàn duō me liǎo de , zhì shǎo hái yuǎn yuǎn wēi jí bú dào nǐ wǒ , wèn tí shì zhè xiǎo zi chéng zhǎng de sù dù tài kuài le , ruò shì fàng rèn xià qù , zhōng huì chéng xīn fù dà huàn dì 。”
这一次冰魄点了点头:“你所言不错,这林小子,确实不能再放任不管,其实光从实力来说,如今的他,也不算多么了得,至少还远远危及不到你我,问题是这小子成长的速度太快了,若是放任下去,终会成心腹大患地。”
"What do you mean by that, Precious Snake? Why keep probing me like this?"
“ ó , nà jiě jiě nǐ shì zhǔn bèi dòng shǒu le ?”
“哦,那姐姐你是准备动手了?”
Ice Spirit frowned slightly, showing a hint of displeasure.
bǎo shé de liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī xīng fèn zhī sè , tā zǎo jiù hèn lín xuān rù gǔ 。
宝蛇的脸上露出一丝兴奋之色,她早就恨林轩入骨。
"Big Sister, please don't misunderstand. I'm just worried because we can't act freely in the Spirit Realm. That's why we need to be cautious," Precious Snake quickly defended herself.
“ bù cuò , yǔ zhè xiǎo zi jiān de ēn yuàn , zǒng xū yào yǒu liǎo jié de shí kè , hé kuàng xiū luó qī bǎo zhōng de shǒu zhuó , hái zài tā de shǒu lǐ , zhè jiàn bǎo wù , wú lùn rú hé , wǒ yě yào ná huí lái dì 。” bīng pò de shēng yīn què xiǎn de píng jìng yǐ jí 。
“不错,与这小子间的恩怨,总需要有了结的时刻,何况修罗七宝中的手镯,还在他的手里,这件宝物,无论如何,我也要拿回来地。”冰魄的声音却显得平静以极。
"Humph. What is there to worry about? Fear of wolves and tigers will only cause trouble. How can the Spirit Realm matter when this immortal girl isn’t a waste like the Two Ancients of Heaven and Earth? Even if True Dragon or the Lord of the Azure Qi Kingdom were here, what could they do to me after I extract his soul and refine it?"
Meanwhile, back at the Immortal Welcoming Palace, Lin Xuan returned to his cave dwelling and visibly relaxed.
He never expected that the Two Ancients of Heaven and Earth were such cunning cultivators.
Seeing the situation turn unfavorable, they proactively sought him out, mending their broken relationship and reconciling with each other.
A handshake and peace agreement?
Lin Xuan was more than willing to accept this.
After all, no one wanted to create an enemy for nothing.
He still worried that during the Peach Blossom Feast, his opponents might deliberately make things difficult for him.
Now it seemed such concerns were unnecessary; instead, they had offered assistance.
That was great!
With the Two Ancients of Heaven and Earth's support, if he encountered desirable treasures or cultivation techniques at the Peach Blossom Feast, his chances of obtaining them would significantly increase.

Lin Xuan continued to sit cross-legged, this time not to recover his power, but to gain insights from facing a domain powerhouse up close.

It wouldn’t be easy, but without trying, how would anyone know?

"When will you act?"
"At any moment. Impatience gets one nowhere. The Peach Blossom Feast isn't an option. After this, I won't let that little guy leave the Jade Pool alive."
