“ zhè jiù shì pán táo shù ？”
“这就是蟠桃树？”
"Is this the Peaches of Immortality?"
yún zhōng xiān zi tái qǐ zhēn shǒu ， měi lì de miàn páng shàng yě háo bù yǎn shì de liú lù chū le chī jīng zhī sè 。
云中仙子抬起臻首，美丽的面庞上也毫不掩饰的流露出了吃惊之色。
The Fairy in the Clouds raised her delicate head, and a look of surprise flashed across her beautiful face. At the same time, she couldn't help but turn to survey her surroundings.
tóng shí ， tā yòu rěn bú zhù zhuǎn tóu dǎ liàng le yī xià sì zhōu 。
同时，她又忍不住转头打量了一下四周。
This was still an underground cavern or a small space with its own system. Everywhere, vibrant colors abounded. Green trees shaded the area, and flowers bloomed in full splendor. The pervasive essence qi filled the void, making one feel refreshed and at ease.
zhè yī jiù shì yī dì xià róng dòng ， huò zhě shuō zì chéng tǐ xì de xiǎo kōng jiān zhī zhōng 。
这依旧是一地下溶洞，或者说自成体系的小空间之中。
The瑶池was already a Cave of Immortality, but compared to here, the concentration of essence qi was incomparable. Five-colorful hues often appeared in the void.
fàng yǎn wàng qù ， dào chù shì yī pài shēng jī àng rán de yán sè 。
放眼望去，到处是一派生机盎然的颜色。
Qin Yan raised her hand, feeling it was icy cold as several colorful light points landed on her tender palm.
lǜ shù chéng yīn ， bǎi huā zhàn fàng ， mí màn yú xū kōng zhōng de líng qì ， ràng rén xīn kuàng shén yí 。
绿树成荫，百花绽放，弥漫于虚空中的灵气，让人心旷神怡。
Essence qi crystallization!
yáo chí ， yǐ jīng shì dòng tiān fú dì ， rán ér líng qì nóng dù yǔ zhè lǐ xiāng bǐ ， zé chéng le pāi mǎ nán jí ， xū kōng zhī zhōng ， shí cháng kě yǐ kàn jiàn wǔ cǎi bān lán de yán sè 。
瑶池，已经是洞天福地，然而灵气浓度与这里相比，则成了拍马难及，虚空之中，时常可以看见五彩斑斓的颜色。
Qin Yan's eyes sparkled with admiration, but soon she lifted her head again. Despite all the miracles in this small space, what most caught everyone's attention were clearly the Peaches of Immortality.
qín yán yù shǒu tái qǐ ， zhǐ jué chù shǒu bīng liáng ， què shì jǐ lì wǔ yán liù sè de guāng diǎn ， luò dào le tā róu nèn de zhǎng xīn zhī shàng 。
秦妍玉手抬起，只觉触手冰凉，却是几粒五颜六色的光点，落到了她柔嫩的掌心之上。
After much effort, she finally saw this divine object.
líng qì jīng huà ！
灵气晶化！
Qin Yan was overjoyed. Her body radiated a faint green light as she prepared to fly towards the target. But just then, her pupils constricted. A sharp whining sound came from something on her waist.
qín yán měi mù zhōng yì cǎi lián lián ， zàn tàn zhī sè liú tǎng ér chū ， dàn hěn kuài ， yòu tái qǐ tóu lú ， zhè xiǎo kōng jiān zhōng suī rán qí jì chù chù ， dàn zuì yǐn rén zhǔ mù de ， xiǎn rán hái shì pán táo shù 。
秦妍美目中异彩连连，赞叹之色流淌而出，但很快，又抬起头颅，这小空间中虽然奇迹处处，但最引人瞩目的，显然还是蟠桃树。
How could it be possible!
lì jīng xīn kǔ ， zhōng yú kàn jiàn le zhè jiàn shén wù 。
历经辛苦，终于看见了这件神物。
Qin Yan's expression changed dramatically, and an incredulous look appeared in her eyes. Without hesitation, she flicked her sleeve, sending a black light flying out with her movement.
qín yán xīn zhōng huān xǐ ， hún shēn qīng máng yì qǐ ， zhèng xiǎng yào xiàng shì xiàn zhōng de mù biāo fēi qù ， rán ér jiù zài zhè shí ， què tóng kǒng wēi suō ， tā yāo jiān de yī wù ， jìng “ wū wū ” de fā chū jiān ruì míng xiǎng qǐ lái le 。
秦妍心中欢喜，浑身青芒一起，正想要像视线中的目标飞去，然而就在这时，却瞳孔微缩，她腰间的一物，竟“呜呜”的发出尖锐鸣响起来了。
It was an amulet about the size of a palm. Carved into its surface was a vivid depiction of a dragon, with eight heads that exuded dominance as they gazed around.
zěn me kě néng ！
怎么可能！
However, a crack appeared on the surface of the amulet and grew more numerous. Soon, it resembled a spider's web, covering the entire piece. A "click" sound echoed in her ears, and the amulet shattered into dust.
qín yán liǎn sè dà biàn ， mù guāng zhōng lù chū bù kě sī yì zhī sè ， háo bù yóu yù de xiù páo yī fú ， suí zhe tā de dòng zuò ， yī hēi sè de guāng huá fēi lüè ér chū 。
秦妍脸色大变，目光中露出不可思议之色，毫不犹豫的袖袍一拂，随着她的动作，一黑色的光华飞掠而出。
"What...?"
què shì yī kuài yù pèi ， yǔ bā zhǎng dà xiǎo xiāng chà fǎng fú 。
却是一块玉佩，与巴掌大小相差仿佛。
Qin Yan's face turned pale: "Impossible. The Ten Thousand Serpent King has actually fallen."
shàng miàn kè zhe yī tóu jiāo lóng ， xǔ xǔ rú shēng dào le jí chù ， yī gòng yǒu zhe bā gè tóu lú ， gù pàn zhī jiān ， bà qì wài lù 。
上面刻着一头蛟龙，栩栩如生到了极处，一共有着八个头颅，顾盼之间，霸气外露。
It was no wonder she was panicking. Before leaving, the Ten Thousand Serpent King had clearly been winning against Fairy Rain桐. How could the situation have reversed so drastically in such a short time?
rán ér cǐ kè ， yī sī liè hén què zài nà yù pèi biǎo miàn fú xiàn ér chū 。
然而此刻，一丝裂痕却在那玉佩表面浮现而出。
Was it possible that Fairy Rain桐 herself had arrived?
qiě yuè lái yuè duō 。
且越来越多。
Even if it were her true form, the Ten Thousand Serpent King wasn't made of clay or paper; Immortal Demon Kings were always on par with each other. Even if Li Rain桐 was slightly stronger, the king could still escape.
hěn kuài jiù rú zhī zhū wǎng yì bān ， jiāng qí zhěng gè pá mǎn 。 suí hòu “ kā chā ” yī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà yù pèi jìng rán suì liè chéng le fěn mò 。
很快就如蜘蛛网一般，将其整个爬满。随后“咔嚓”一声传入耳朵，那玉佩竟然碎裂成了粉末。
How could he be killed so quickly here?
“ zhè ……”
“这……”
Thoughts raced through Qin Yan's mind as she grew increasingly agitated.
qín yán de liǎn sè yī xià zi biàn dé cāng bái wú xuè le ：“ bù kě néng ， wàn jiāo wáng jū rán yǔn luò 。”
秦妍的脸色一下子变得苍白无血了：“不可能，万蛟王居然陨落。”
However, these thoughts were useless at this moment. Soon, the confusion on her face melted away, replaced by a determined expression.
yě nán guài cǐ nǚ jīng huāng shī cuò ， zài tā lí kāi yǐ qián 。 wàn jiāo wáng duì shàng yǔ tóng xiān zi de huà shēn 。 míng míng shì dà zhàn shàng fēng de 。
也难怪此女惊慌失措，在她离开以前。万蛟王对上雨桐仙子的化身。明明是大占上风的。
Of course, she wouldn't forget why she was here.
zhè cái duō jiǔ de gōng fu ， xíng shì jiù nì zhuǎn dào zhè bān dì bù 。
这才多久的功夫，形势就逆转到这般地步。
With the Ten Thousand Serpent King fallen, Fairy Rain桐 would soon arrive, leaving her with little time. She had to make every second count.
nán dào shì yǔ tóng xiān zi běn tǐ qīn zhì le me ？
难道是雨桐仙子本体亲至了么？
...
dàn jiù suàn shì běn tǐ 。 wàn jiāo wáng yě bú shì ní sù zhǐ hú ， sàn xiān yāo wáng yí xiàng shì qí míng dì ， jiù suàn lǐ yǔ tóng yào shāo wēi qiáng shàng yī xiē ， wàn jiāo wáng dǎ bù guò 。 táo hái shì yīng gāi méi yǒu wèn tí 。
但就算是本体。万蛟王也不是泥塑纸糊，散仙妖王一向是齐名地，就算李雨桐要稍微强上一些，万蛟王打不过。逃还是应该没有问题。
Qin Yan's body radiated green light as she continued flying towards the Peaches of Immortality.
zěn me huì zhè me kuài ， jiù bèi miè shā yú zhè lǐ ？
怎么会这么快，就被灭杀于这里？
Soon, she arrived. The震撼of this legendary holy tree was even greater when seen up close. It towered hundreds of feet high, dwarfing ordinary towering trees. More astonishingly, the entire peach tree emitted a faint, shimmering light.
nǎo hǎi zhōng zhū bān niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， qín yán de liǎn sè yuè fā yīn qíng bù dìng le 。
脑海中诸般念头转过，秦妍的脸色越发阴晴不定了。
The five-colorful glass seemed dazzling. As she approached, a dense essence qi wafted towards her, making her feel refreshed just by breathing it in.
rán ér cǐ kè ， sī suǒ zhè xiē gēn běn jiù méi yǒu yòng tú ， hěn kuài ， qín yán liǎn shàng de mí máng jiù bīng xiāo wǎ jiě ， qǔ ér dài zhī de shì yī lǚ jiān dìng zhī sè 。
然而此刻，思索这些根本就没有用途，很快，秦妍脸上的迷茫就冰消瓦解，取而代之的是一缕坚定之色。
Peaches!
tā dāng rán bú huì wàng jì cǐ xíng de mù dì shì shén me 。
她当然不会忘记此行的目的是什么。
Qin Yan's eyes suddenly lit up as she saw several giant peaches on the high branches. They were white with a hint of red and emitted a fragrant aroma.
wàn jiāo wáng yǔn luò 。 yǔ tóng xiān zi hěn kuài jiù huì lái zhè lǐ ， liú gěi zì jǐ de shí jiān yǐ shì bù duō ， bì xū fēn miǎo bì zhēng de zhuā jǐn le 。
万蛟王陨落。雨桐仙子很快就会来这里，留给自己的时间已是不多，必须分秒必争的抓紧了。
In the presence of such treasures, no cultivator could ignore them, not even Fairy in the Clouds. She flicked her sleeve, sending out a milky-white demonic aura that transformed into a light halo.
……
……
Its target was clear: the holy fruit of peaches.
hún shēn qīng máng yì qǐ ， qín yán jì xù xiàng pán táo shù fēi qù 。
浑身青芒一起，秦妍继续像蟠桃树飞去。
There were no restrictions here and no one guarding it. Logically, she should have a hundred percent chance of plucking the peaches.
hěn kuài jiù dào le 。 jìn jù lí kàn zhè chuán shuō zhōng de shèng shù ， gěi rén de zhèn hàn gèng shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。
很快就到了。近距离看这传说中的圣树，给人的震撼更是非同小可。
But just as she did so, an unbelievable scene unfolded.
qí gāo shù bǎi zhàng yǒu yú ， pǔ tōng de cān tiān dà shù yǔ qí xiāng bǐ dōu xiǎn de miǎo xiǎo wú bǐ 。
其高数百丈有余，普通的参天大树与其相比都显得渺小无比。
A spiritual light burst from the surface of the peach tree, transforming into a sword that quickly cut through the demonic aura she had released.
gèng bù kě sī yì de shì ， zhěng kē pán táo shù ， jū rán sàn fà zhe yíng yíng de bǎo guāng 。
更不可思议的是，整棵蟠桃树，居然散发着莹莹的宝光。
"Impossible!"
wǔ cǎi liú lí ， xuàn mù wú bǐ 。
五彩琉璃，炫目无比。
Qin Yan was shocked. She had clearly checked and found no restrictions nearby. Could it be... the Peach Tree had already reached a level where it could manifest spirit?
yuè shì jiē jìn ， yuè shì yǒu yī gǔ nóng yù de líng qì pū miàn ér lái ， guāng shì wén shàng yī kǒu ， jiù ràng rén hún shēn shū tài 。
越是接近，越是有一股浓郁的灵气扑面而来，光是闻上一口，就让人浑身舒泰。
She wasn't willing to give up. Bringing treasures from the mountain, one cannot return empty-handed. With her hand raised, Heavenly Demon Sword appeared before her eyes.
pán táo ！
蟠桃！
Qin Yan hesitated not as she swung the sword. This action triggered cosmic laws, and a massive light blade suddenly emerged. The blade was over ten dozen feet long but had edges so thin they resembled silk. It radiated with potent law energy, slicing through the peach tree like a scythe.
qín yán tū rán yǎn jīng yī liàng 。
秦妍突然眼睛一亮。
To be honest, Qin Yan's approach was rather crude. If she destroyed the peach tree, even if she obtained several holy fruits, it would be a case of sacrificing the greater for the lesser.
zhǐ jiàn zài nà gāo tiǎo de zhī tóu zhī shàng ， yǒu jǐ kē jù dà de pán táo 。
只见在那高挑的枝头之上，有几颗巨大的蟠桃。
It was indeed wasteful.
bái lǐ tòu hóng ， sàn fà zhe zhèn zhèn yì xiāng 。
白里透红，散发着阵阵异香。
But logic aside, she had no time to think deeply at this moment. The fall of the Ten Thousand Serpent King made her anxious, and the principle of bringing treasures without returning empty-handed also weighed heavily on her mind.
zhì bǎo dāng qián ， méi yǒu xiū shì néng shì ruò wú dǔ ， jí biàn yún zhōng xiān zi yì bù néng miǎn sú ， xiù páo yī fú ， yī dào rǔ bái sè de mó qì fēi lüè ér chū 。
至宝当前，没有修士能视若无睹，即便云中仙子亦不能免俗，袖袍一拂，一道乳白色的魔气飞掠而出。
Even if the peach tree were destroyed, it mattered little to Li Rain桐. She wouldn't leave anything behind for Qin Yan.
huà wèi yī dào guāng xiá ， xí juǎn ér chū ， mù biāo bú yòng shuō ， zì rán shì pán táo shèng guǒ 。
化为一道光霞，席卷而出，目标不用说，自然是蟠桃圣果。
With such thoughts, Qin Yan's sword struck with no hesitation. The sharp blade sliced through the void like a storm, leaving everything in its path fragmented and shattered.
zhè lǐ yǐ méi yǒu jìn zhì zǔ gé ， yě méi yǒu rén shǒu wèi zài cè ， àn lǐ shuō ， qǔ xià pán táo ， yīng gāi shì yǒu bǎi fēn zhī bǎi de bǎ wò 。
这里已没有禁制阻隔，也没有人守卫在侧，按理说，取下蟠桃，应该是有百分之百的把握。
Boom!
rán ér piān piān jiù zài zhè shí ， bù kě sī yì de yí mù fā shēng le 。
然而偏偏就在这时，不可思议的一幕发生了。
A loud sound echoed as the essence qi dissipated, revealing an unbelievable scene: the peach tree was undamaged.
cóng nà pán táo shù de biǎo miàn ， yī dào líng guāng zhàn fàng chū lái ， huà shēn wèi jiàn ， hěn kuài jiù jiāng yún zhōng xiān zi fàng chū de mó qì zhǎn duàn 。
从那蟠桃树的表面，一道灵光绽放出来，化身为剑，很快就将云中仙子放出的魔气斩断。
At the moment the essence qi approached, a light shield automatically appeared.
“ zhè bù kě néng ！”
“这不可能！”
This wasn't due to restrictions but because the Peach Tree actively defended itself by manipulating nearby essence qi.
qín yán dà jīng shī sè ， zì jǐ gāng cái míng míng chá tàn guò ， zhè fù jìn méi yǒu jìn zhì de ， nán dào shuō …… pán táo shù yǐ jīng dào le tōng líng huà shén de dì bù 。
秦妍大惊失色，自己刚才明明查探过，这附近没有禁制的，难道说……蟠桃树已经到了通灵化神的地步。
Qin Yan's eyes widened in shock. The ancient tree had reached a level where it could defend instinctively against external attacks.
tā bù sǐ xīn ， rù bǎo shān qǐ néng kōng shǒu ér huí ， yù shǒu tái qǐ ， tiān mó jiàn fú xiàn rù le yǎn lián 。
她不死心，入宝山岂能空手而回，玉手抬起，天魔剑浮现入了眼帘。
The defense was formidable beyond measure. It wasn't that it couldn't be broken, but doing so would require immense effort and time.
qín yán háo bù yóu yù de huī jiàn yī zhǎn 。
秦妍毫不犹豫的挥剑一斩。
With the Ten Thousand Serpent King fallen, she didn't have much time left. The risk of trying to pluck the holy fruit was daunting. She might even fall here, and Qin Yan had no confidence in escaping Li Rain桐's clutches.
zhè yī xià ， qiān dòng tiān dì fǎ zé ， yī jù dà de guāng rèn ， dǒu rán fú xiàn ér chū ， nà guāng rèn zhǎng shù shí zhàng yǒu yú ， biān yuán què báo rú cán yì ， biǎo miàn sàn fà zhe nóng nóng de fǎ zé zhī lì ， rú cuī kū lā xiǔ yì bān ， xiàng zhe pán táo shù zhǎn lái 。
这一下，牵动天地法则，一巨大的光刃，陡然浮现而出，那光刃长数十丈有余，边缘却薄如蚕翼，表面散发着浓浓的法则之力，如摧枯拉朽一般，像着蟠桃树斩来。
To gain something, one must give up something.
píng xīn lái shuō ， qín yán zhè me zuò ， yǐ yǒu xiē jiǎn dān cū bào le ， ruò shì pán táo shù bèi huǐ ， jí biàn dé dào le jǐ méi shèng guǒ ， yì shì shě běn zhú mò 。
平心来说，秦妍这么做，已有些简单粗暴了，若是蟠桃树被毁，即便得到了几枚圣果，亦是舍本逐末。
Qin Yan immediately abandoned her attempt on the peach tree. This wasn't her goal when she came to the瑶池.
shuō bào tiǎn tiān wù yì diǎn yě méi yǒu kuā zhāng de 。
说暴殄天物一点也没有夸张的。
Or rather, plucking the holy fruit was merely a cover-up. Given the excessive risk, it made sense to abandon it for now.
dàn dào lǐ shì zhè yàng méi cuò ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， qín yán què méi yǒu shí jiān qù xì xì sī suǒ ， yī lái wàn jiāo wáng yǔn luò ， ràng tā xīn zhōng yōu jí ， èr lái zé shì rù bǎo shān méi yǒu kòng shǒu ér guī de dào lǐ 。
但道理是这样没错，此时此刻，秦妍却没有时间去细细思索，一来万蛟王陨落，让她心中忧急，二来则是入宝山没有空手而归的道理。
She turned her head and released her divine awareness, quickly locating where the essence qi was most concentrated in this small space.
pán táo shù bèi huǐ yòu rú hé ？
蟠桃树被毁又如何？
Her heart leaped as she raised her hand and flicked it at her waist, sending out a black light that spiraled around before settling into a piece of talisman.
"Is this the Peaches of Immortality?"
The Fairy in the Clouds raised her delicate head, and a look of surprise flashed across her beautiful face. At the same time, she couldn't help but turn to survey her surroundings.
This was still an underground cavern or a small space with its own system. Everywhere, vibrant colors abounded. Green trees shaded the area, and flowers bloomed in full splendor. The pervasive essence qi filled the void, making one feel refreshed and at ease.
