zài zhēn líng mái gǔ zhī suǒ ， lín xuān yǔ 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 。()
在真灵埋骨之所，林轩与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 the True Spirit Burial Ground, Lin Xuan merged perfectly with nearly a hundred true spirits' essence sources, thereby gaining countless benefits.
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。
This was even more effective than refining true spirit blood.
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。
In other words, he had obtained the传承of nearly a hundred true spirits.
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。
Unfortunately, although the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword was a rare treasure, it couldn't carry so many at once. The manifestation of nine true spirits was already its limit.
zhè jiù yào kàn lín xuān zěn me xuǎn zé 。
这就要看林轩怎么选择。
Now, Lin Xuan had to decide which ones to choose.
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 。
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。
The shadows of the hundred true spirits flashed by, most of them just fleeting appearances, but among them were nine that didn’t fade away; instead, they became increasingly clear.
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。
Phoenix, True Dragon, Peacock, Great Peng, Vermilion Bird, Golden Crow, Qilin, and White Tiger—of course, the Nine-Headed Bird was also indispensable.
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。
Among these, except for the true spirit of the golden jade toad which had been replaced by the white tiger, all the other true spirits were ones Lin Xuan had first obtained and refined his essence from.
bù qiú yǒu gōng dàn qiú wú guò ！
不求有功但求无过！
No need for success, just avoid failure!
yīn wèi shú xī ， suǒ yǐ lín xuān gèng róng yì yǔ zhè xiē zhēn líng de tè diǎn róng hé ， shǐ yòng qǐ lái ， yě shì zuì wèi dé xīn yìng shǒu de 。
因为熟悉，所以林轩更容易与这些真灵的特点融合，使用起来，也是最为得心应手的。
Because he was familiar with them, Lin Xuan found it easier to merge with these true spirits' characteristics. He used them most skillfully.
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。
Lin Xuan raised his head, emitting a clear cry that pierced the sky as he lifted his right hand and swept towards the Celestial Dome.
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。
As Lin Xuan moved, those true spirit shadows vanished from his dantian.
xià yī kè ， chū xiàn zài le tóu dǐng shàng kōng 。
下一刻，出现在了头顶上空。
Next moment, they appeared above his head.
jiǔ gǔ qiáng dà de qì xī mí sàn ér chū 。
九股强大的气息弥散而出。
Nine powerful auras spread out.
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。
The Nine Palaces Momentary Sword began to resonate, emitting spiritual light. Then, the nine true spirit shadows rushed towards different styles of immortal swords and merged with them.
hù xiāng róng hé 。
互相融合。
The original shadows transformed into tangible objects.
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。
True Spirit Sword Technique!
zhēn líng huà jiàn jué ！
真灵化剑诀！
Lin Xuan's divine technique was about to be unleashed.
lín xuān shǐ yòng de shén tōng yǐ hū zhī yù chū 。
林轩使用的神通已呼之欲出。
This was his secret art.
zhè shì tā yā xiāng dǐ de mì shù 。
这是他压箱底的秘术。
But this wasn't the end.
kě shì qíng dào zhè lǐ bìng wèi jié shù 。
可事情到这里并未结束。
Lingering rays of fierce ancient light shot out from Lin Xuan’s eyes, and he quickly recited a complex incantation. Then, with a sharp sound, the tangible true spirits reappeared as illusions, shattering into tiny fragments.
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。
Those shattered shadows turned into countless talismans.
suí hòu nà xiē nà xiē suì liè diào de de xū yǐng ， huà wèi le shǔ yǐ wàn jì de fú wén 。
随后那些那些碎裂掉的的虚影，化为了数以万计的符文。
The spiritual light shimmered, enveloping Lin Xuan's body in its brilliance.
líng guāng shǎn shǎn 。 xuán miào bù fán ， jiāng lín xuān de shēn tǐ bāo guǒ zài qí jiān 。
灵光闪闪。玄妙不凡，将林轩的身体包裹在其间。
They sank into his skin without a trace.
mò rù jī fū bú jiàn 。
没入肌肤不见。
Accompanying this was the appearance of multicolored glass-like light. The radiant霞light burst from Lin Xuan’s surface like flames, dazzling to behold. More astonishingly, as they flickered, they seemed to have a life of their own, condensing into a set of armor in mere moments.
yǔ zhī bàn suí de shì 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 ， 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 lái 。
与之伴随的是五色琉璃，艳丽的霞光如火焰一般由林轩身体表面喷涌出来，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来。
True Spirit Armor!
zhēn líng zhī kǎi ！
真灵之铠！
Lin Xuan's aura grew significantly larger. This was natural; the True Spirit Sword Technique combined with Nine Heavens Divine Net, showcasing his strongest state.
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。
Even the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword had been incorporated into the armor, another form of human-sword unity.
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。
...
……
……
The entire process seemed complex when described but took only an instant.
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 Treasure Snake was formidable. Although the Azure Turtle Dragon Shield was a primordial object, it could no longer withstand much longer. It was already wobbling.
bǎo shé lǐng yù de wēi lì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， xuán guī lóng jiàn dùn suī shì xiān tiān zhī wù ， què yě dǐ dǎng bù liǎo duō jiǔ de gōng fu ， cǐ shí yǐ jīng yáo yáo yù zhuì le 。
宝蛇领域的威力非同小可，玄龟龙剑盾虽是先天之物，却也抵挡不了多久的功夫，此时已经摇摇欲坠了。
Watching Lin Xuan's changes, this woman couldn't help showing some surprise and suspicion on her face.
ér lín xuān zhè yī xì liè de biàn huà ， cǐ nǚ kàn zài yǎn lǐ 。 biǎo qíng yě bù yóu de liú lù chū jǐ fēn jīng yí 。
而林轩这一系列的变化，此女看在眼里。表情也不由得流露出几分惊疑。
What secret technique is this that can merge with so many true spirit inheritances?
zhè shì shén me mì shù ， jū rán néng yǔ rú cǐ shù liàng zhòng duō de zhēn líng chuán chéng hù xiāng róng hé ？
这是什么秘术，居然能与如此数量众多的真灵传承互相融合？
Though she didn’t know how he did it, the Treasure Snake wasn’t ignorant of the power of true spirits. The Phoenix and True Dragon, in particular, were at the top ranks—no ordinary cultivator or even a celestial being would dare to be careless.
suī rán bù zhī dào tā shì zěn me zuò dào de ， dàn bǎo shé qǐ huì bù shí huò ， zhēn líng de kě pà tā xīn lǐ yǒu shù 。 tè bié shì pái míng qián liè de fèng huáng zhēn lóng ， bié shuō zì jǐ ， biàn shì xiān rén lín shì ， yì bù gǎn yǒu fēn háo dà yì 。
虽然不知道他是怎么做到的，但宝蛇岂会不识货，真灵的可怕她心里有数。特别是排名前列的凤凰真龙，别说自己，便是仙人临世，亦不敢有分毫大意。
Of course, Lin Xuan couldn't compare to such high-ranking true spirits, but with so many of them merging together, their combined strength was formidable.
dāng rán 。 lín xuān kěn dìng méi yǒu bàn fǎ yǔ zhè zhǒng děng jí de zhēn líng xiāng bǐ ， dàn shèng zài shù liàng zhòng duō ， zhè me duō zhǒng zhēn líng de chuán chéng hù xiāng róng hé 。 yú qíng yú lǐ ， wēi lì yě shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。
当然。林轩肯定没有办法与这种等级的真灵相比，但胜在数量众多，这么多种真灵的传承互相融合。于情于理，威力也是非同小可。
The Treasure Snake was delighted rather than angry.
bǎo shé jīng yà zhī yú ， què shì bù nù fǎn xǐ 。
宝蛇惊讶之余，却是不怒反喜。
Has he finally revealed his trump card?
zhōng yú shī zhǎn chū yā xiāng dǐ de gōng fu le me ？
终于施展出压箱底的功夫了么？
Proving this boy has run out of tricks.
zhèng míng zhè lín xiǎo zi yǐ qián lǘ jì qióng 。
证明这林小子已黔驴技穷。
Thinking that a few true spirit inheritances could stop the Saint Ancestor was too naive.
yǐ wéi píng zhe qū qū jǐ zhǒng zhēn líng chuán chéng jiù kě yǐ dǎng zhù běn shèng zǔ ， tài tiān zhēn le 。
以为凭着区区几种真灵传承就可以挡住本圣祖，太天真了。
The Treasure Snake’s shoulders shook as she radiated outwards, releasing waves of法则power.
bǎo shé jiān tóu wēi dǒu ， xū kōng yǐ tā wèi zhōng xīn dàng yàng ér chū ， yī dào dào fǎ zé zhī lì jī shè 。
宝蛇肩头微抖，虚空以她为中心荡漾而出，一道道法则之力激射。
However, these were vastly different from Lin Xuan's understanding of such powers.
rán ér yǔ lín xuān lǐ jiě de fǎ zé zhī lì què shì dà bù xiāng tóng 。
然而与林轩理解的法则之力却是大不相同。
Her domain had already altered the rules of this area for several miles.
lǐng yù yǐ ràng zhè fāng yuán shù lǐ de tiān dì guī zé ， fā shēng le gǎi biàn 。
领域已让这方圆数里的天地规则，发生了改变。
In other words, in this domain, the Treasure Snake could use any natural laws according to her will. Lin Xuan was like a blind man feeling an elephant; his divine techniques were severely hampered.
huàn jù huà shuō ， zài zhè yī piàn tiān dì ， bǎo shé kě yǐ suí xīn dòng yòng gè zhǒng tiān dì fǎ zé ， lín xuān què rú tóng máng rén mō xiàng ， shén tōng bèi fèi diào dà bàn le 。
换句话说，在这一片天地，宝蛇可以随心动用各种天地法则，林轩却如同盲人摸象，神通被废掉大半了。
"Stand still!"
“ gěi wǒ gù ！”
“给我固！”
A sharp cry echoed as Lin Xuan found the air around him suddenly compressing, almost like a solid wall.
yī shēng jiāo chì chuán rù ěr duǒ ， lín xuān fā xiàn zhōu wéi de kōng qì yī xià zi xiàng zhe zì jǐ shōu suō ， fǎng fú tóng qiáng tiě bì yì bān 。
一声娇叱传入耳朵，林轩发现周围的空气一下子向着自己收缩，仿佛铜墙铁壁一般。
If it had been another cultivator, they might have exploded from the pressure and died.
ruò huàn yī míng xiū xiān zhě ， shuō bù dìng jiù bèi yā dé bào tǐ ér wáng le 。
若换一名修仙者，说不定就被压得爆体而亡了。
But Lin Xuan's body was incredibly sturdy. Wearing True Spirit Armor made it far superior to before. Facing this predicament, he punched forward.
dàn lín xuān de ròu shēn jiān yìng wú bǐ ， chuān shàng zhēn líng kǎi jiǎ zhī hòu gèng shì yuǎn shèng wǎng xī ， miàn duì kùn jú ， tā yī quán xiàng qián dǎ le chū qù 。
但林轩的肉身坚硬无比，穿上真灵铠甲之后更是远胜往昔，面对困局，他一拳向前打了出去。
What could a domain do?
lǐng yù yòu rú hé ？
领域又如何？
Even if one could manipulate natural laws, what difference did that make?
néng gòu cāo zòng tiān dì fǎ zé yòu zěn me yàng ne ？
能够操纵天地法则又怎么样呢？
Let me show you my strength.
kàn wǒ yī lì jiàng shí huì 。
看我一力降十会。
Boom!
hōng ！
轰！
A deafening sound filled the air as the compressed air shattered.
jù xiǎng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yuán běn jǐ yā xiàng tā de kōng qì dùn shí suì liè diào le 。
巨响声传入耳朵，原本挤压像他的空气顿时碎裂掉了。
Indeed, the air itself would shatter.
méi cuò ， kōng qì yě huì fěn suì 。
没错，空气也会粉碎。
The Treasure Snake was shocked and alarmed. She knew Lin Xuan wasn’t easy to deal with but never expected it to be this severe. After all, she was using her domain at full power. If a normal Golden Immortal, he would have been killed instantly. This boy… ignoring it?
bǎo shé dà jīng shī sè 。
宝蛇大惊失色。
Are you serious!
tā zhī dào lín xuān bù hǎo duì fù 。
她知道林轩不好对付。
No way.
dàn wàn wàn bù céng xiǎng huì dào zhè zhǒng chéng dù 。
但万万不曾想会到这种程度。
The Treasure Snake’s anger flared as she raised both hands high and drew a circle in the air. Following her actions, several light beams appeared around Lin Xuan, converging towards him to bind him.
bì jìng cǐ kè zì jǐ shì zài shī zhǎn lǐng yù a ， ruò shì pǔ tōng dù jié qī xiū xiān zhě ， miǎo shā dōu bù wèi guò ， zhè xiǎo zi jū rán …… shì ruò wú dǔ ？
毕竟此刻自己是在施展领域啊，若是普通渡劫期修仙者，秒杀都不为过，这小子居然……视若无睹？
This was another strange natural law with binding effects.
yǒu méi yǒu gǎo cuò ！
有没有搞错！
Lin Xuan didn’t care about this. He forcefully broke through it all.
shì kě rěn shú bù kě rěn 。
是可忍孰不可忍。
With his fingers curled into claws, he grabbed at those light beams.
bǎo shé yě bù yóu de bó rán dà nù 。
宝蛇也不由得勃然大怒。
Suddenly, Lin Xuan felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.
běn shèng zǔ hái zhēn bù xìn le ， zài lǐng yù quán kāi de qíng kuàng xià ， hái ná bù xià zhè xiǎo zi me ？
本圣祖还真不信了，在领域全开的情况下，还拿不下这小子么？
"Such a fool! The lightning power in these light beams is no less than heavenly tribulation. Touching them means you’re seriously bored of life."
hōng ！
轰！
From afar, the Treasure Snake coldly laughed.
hēi sè de mó yán téng kōng ér qǐ ， xuàn mù dì zhàn jiǎ jǐn gēn zhe fú xiàn ér chū 。
黑色的魔炎腾空而起，炫目的战甲紧跟着浮现而出。
But soon, her smile froze as pain appeared on Lin Xuan’s face but he didn’t retreat; instead, he extended his other hand and grabbed a light beam, pulling hard...
In the True Spirit Burial Ground, Lin Xuan merged perfectly with nearly a hundred true spirits' essence sources, thereby gaining countless benefits.
This was even more effective than refining true spirit blood.
In other words, he had obtained the传承of nearly a hundred true spirits.
Unfortunately, although the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword was a rare treasure, it couldn't carry so many at once. The manifestation of nine true spirits was already its limit.
