..bsp; jiāng zhè zhōng jiān de yuán wěi xiǎng qīng chǔ ， lín xuān shēn shēn hū xī ， zhèng dǎ suàn àn zhào gāng cái suǒ xiǎng de cān wù lǐng yù ， rán ér jiù zài zhè shí ， yì biàn tū qǐ 。
..bsp;将这中间的原委想清楚，林轩深深呼吸，正打算按照刚才所想的参悟领域，然而就在这时，异变突起。
After thoroughly considering the details, Lin Xuan took a deep breath and was about to delve into comprehending his domain as he had planned. However, at that moment, something unexpected happened.
yǎn qián de jǐng wù yī zhèn mó hú ， suí hòu lín xuān fā xiàn zì jǐ chóng xīn huí dào le hán tán dǐ bù 。
眼前的景物一阵模糊，随后林轩发现自己重新回到了寒潭底部。
The scene before him blurred momentarily, and then Lin Xuan found himself back at the bottom of the cold spring.
kàn le kàn zì jǐ de shǒu ， yòu zhuǎn tóu dǎ liàng le yī xià sì zhōu ， lín xuān tàn xī ， gāng cái fú yòng de pán táo shèng guǒ jǐn yǒu yì diǎn diǎn ér yǐ ， xiào lì wéi chí de shí jiān zì rán bù duō ， suǒ yǐ nà qí miào de huàn jìng yǐ huà zuò xū wú ， xiǎng yào jì xù tǐ wù ， jiù xū yào fú yòng gèng duō de shèng guǒ 。”“ zhāng jié
看了看自己的手，又转头打量了一下四周，林轩叹息，刚才服用的蟠桃圣果仅有一点点而已，效力维持的时间自然不多，所以那奇妙的幻境已化作虚无，想要继续体悟，就需要服用更多的圣果。”“章节
He looked at his hands and then glanced around. Sighing, Lin Xuan realized that the Essence Cleansing Fruits he had consumed only a small amount of, so their effects wouldn't last long. Therefore, to continue comprehending them would require more fruits.
dàn duì lín xuān lái shuō ， miàn lín zhe de qí shí què shì liǎng gè xuǎn zé 。
但对林轩来说，面临着的其实却是两个选择。
But for Lin Xuan, there were actually two choices before him.
yī shì mǎ bù tíng tí ， jì xù jiāng nà tí chún hòu de shèng guǒ fú yòng xià qù 。
一是马不停蹄，继续将那提纯后的圣果服用下去。
One was to keep consuming the purified fruits without pause, hoping they would grant him direct access to his domain without any hindrance.
tā de xiào guǒ fēi cháng bucuo， yě xǔ zì jǐ bú huì yù jiàn sī háo zǔ gé ， zhí jiē jiù néng jiàng lǐng yù cān wù 。
它的效果非常bucuo，也许自己不会遇见丝毫阻隔，直接就能将领域参悟。
However, realistically speaking, such a possibility was slim.
dàn píng xīn lái shuō ， zhè yàng de keneng xìng bìng bù duō 。
但平心来说，这样的keneng性并不多。
Cultivation was about seizing opportunities and also about hard work. The idea of achieving everything in one step was unrealistic.
xiū xiān xiū xiān ， zuì zhòng yào de gù rán shì jī yuán ， dàn jiǎo tà shí dì ， yì shì bù kě huò quē zhī wù ， huàn xiǎng yī bù dēng tiān ， gēn běn jiù bù tài keneng shí xiàn 。
修仙修仙，最重要的固然是机缘，但脚踏实地，亦是不可或缺之物，幻想一步登天，根本就不太keneng实现。
So, the remaining option was to purify the second Essence Cleansing Fruit he had obtained.
nà me shèng xià de ， jiù shì dì èr xuǎn zé 。
那么剩下的，就是第二选择。
Yes, it was flawless, but that didn't mean it couldn't be purified further. There were many possibilities in the cultivation world, and Lin Xuan wasn't willing to overlook those nine mysterious seals. What kind of changes would a perfect fruit with such seals bring about?
tí chún zì jǐ suǒ de dào de dì èr méi shèng guǒ 。
提纯自己所得到的第二枚圣果。
More precious fruits!
méi cuò ， nà shì wán měi wú xiá zhī wù ， dàn méi yǒu zá zhì bìng bù yì wèi zhe jiù bù néng tí chún le 。
没错，那是完美无瑕之物，但没有杂质并不意味着就不能提纯了。
Just thinking about them made Lin Xuan's heart race.
xiū xiān jiè de keneng xìng hěn duō ， nà jiǔ tiáo shén mì de lào yìn lín xuān yì diǎn yě bù xiǎng fàng guò ， ruò shì wán měi de shèng guǒ yě yōng yǒu cǐ wù ， tiān zhidao huì dài lái zěn yàng de gǎi biàn ne ？
修仙界的keneng性很多，那九条神秘的烙印林轩一点也不想放过，若是完美的圣果也拥有此物，天zhidao会带来怎样的改变呢？
Although he didn't have full confidence, trials were necessary. How could one know if it was possible without trying?
gèng bǎo guì de shèng guǒ ！
更宝贵的圣果！
With his mind made up, Lin Xuan acted swiftly.
guāng xiǎng xiǎng jiù ràng lín xuān jī dòng dào le jí chù 。
光想想就让林轩激动到了极处。
He flicked his sleeve and another jade box flew out. He took the second fruit.
suī rán tā yě méi yǒu shí zú bǎ wò ， dàn shì zài rén wéi ， bù shì yàn yī xià yòu zěn me zhidao chéng bù chéng ne ？
虽然他也没有十足把握，但事在人为，不试验一下又怎么zhidao成不成呢？
The aroma filled the air as Lin Xuan followed the same method. Blue light points flowed through his meridians, and he divided some of his divine essence to drive the Hundred Birds Seal…
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， lín xuān yǐ xià dìng jué xīn le 。
脑海中念头转过，林轩已下定决心了。
Days passed in a flash.
shuō zuò jiù zuò 。
说做就做。
A sigh reached his ears.
lín xuān xiù páo yī fú ， lìng yí gè yù xiá fēi lüè ér chū 。
林轩袖袍一拂，另一个玉匣飞掠而出。
This purification attempt ended in failure.
tā qǔ chū le dì èr méi shèng guǒ 。
他取出了第二枚圣果。
This peach had already been flawless; there was no way it could be purified further. Lin Xuan tried his best but couldn't imprint those nine spirit patterns onto it.
dàn wén xiāng qì pū bí ， lín xuān rú fǎ páo zhì ， lán sè guāng diǎn shùn zhe jīng mài liú tǎng ér chū ， tā fēn chū yī bù fèn shén shí zhī lì 。 xiǎng yào qū dòng bǎi líng yìn ……
但闻香气扑鼻，林轩如法炮制，蓝色光点顺着经脉流淌而出，他分出一部分神识之力。想要驱动百灵印……
All for naught!
shù rì de shí jiān yī huǎng ér guò 。
数日的时间一晃而过。
Fortunately, the fruit remained unharmed despite the failed purification.
tàn xī shēng chuán rù ěr lǐ 。
叹息声传入耳里。
No loss, no gain.
zhè yī cì tí chún què yíng lái le shī bài de kǔ guǒ 。
这一次提纯却迎来了失败的苦果。
Perhaps this was the only收获.
zhè pán táo yǐ shì wán měi wú xiá zhī wù ， gēn běn méi yǒu bàn fǎ zài jìn xíng duō yú de tí chún le ， zhì yú nà jiǔ tiáo líng wén ， lín xuān shǐ jǐn hún shēn xiè shù ， yě méi yǒu bàn fǎ jiāng qí lào yìn shàng qù le 。
这蟠桃已是完美无瑕之物，根本没有办法再进行多余的提纯了，至于那九条灵纹，林轩使尽浑身解数，也没有办法将其烙印上去了。
Contentment was a virtue, and Lin Xuan didn't let himself be discouraged. The Blue Star Sea, though extraordinary, wasn't as crucial as the peach fruits. He had never been one hundred percent confident to begin with.
bái máng huó ！
白忙活！
With a deep breath, Lin Xuan quickly calmed his mind.
wéi yī qìng xìng de shì ， tí chún suī rán yǐ shī bài zuò wèi jié guǒ ， pán táo què yě méi yǒu yīn cǐ shòu dào sǔn hài shén me 。
唯一庆幸的是，提纯虽然以失败做为结果，蟠桃却也没有因此受到损害什么。
Since the second option hadn't worked, there was only one path left: first comprehend the Miniature River and Mountain Map, then consume the fruit.
wú shī yì wú dé 。
无失亦无得。
There were two peaches, so he still had a good chance of comprehending his domain.
zhè huò xǔ shì wéi yī de shōu huò 。
这或许是唯一的收获。
With his thoughts settled, Lin Xuan turned to the Miniature River and Mountain Map. The map contained the laws of an entire world; comprehending it would greatly aid his future cultivation.
rén guì zhī zú ， lín xuān dào yě méi yǒu yīn cǐ qì něi ào sàng shén me ， lán sè xīng hǎi suī shì liǎo bù dé de bǎo wù ， dàn pán táo yì shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。 lín xuān yuán běn jiù méi yǒu bǎi fēn zhī bǎi de bǎ wò 。
人贵知足，林轩倒也没有因此气馁懊丧什么，蓝色星海虽是了不得的宝物，但蟠桃亦是非同小可。林轩原本就没有百分之百的把握。
Time was abundant, allowing him to ponder thoroughly.
shēn shēn hū xī ， lín xuān xùn sù jiāng zì jǐ de xīn qíng píng fù xià qù 。
深深呼吸，林轩迅速将自己的心情平复下去。
Lin Xuan released all his divine essence into the map.
jì rán dì èr gè xuǎn zé méi yǒu yòng chǔ ， nà jiù zhǐ shèng xià wéi yī de chū lù le 。
既然第二个选择没有用处，那就只剩下唯一的出路了。
Its complexity was staggering. If one's realm wasn't high enough, the danger of comprehension could be terrifying—minorly causing confusion in one's divine essence or severely leading to bodily destruction. After all, this tiny map encompassed a world's worth of laws.
xiān cān wù mí nǐ shān hé tú ， zài fú shí shèng guǒ 。
先参悟迷你山河图，再服食圣果。
Lin Xuan’s divine essence had long surpassed that of true immortals and was no less than that of his former Arrogant Demon King self.
pán táo bì jìng yǒu liǎng méi zhī duō ， yīng gāi hái shì yǒu bù xiǎo jī lǜ chéng gōng jiàng lǐng yù cān wù 。
蟠桃毕竟有两枚之多，应该还是有不小几率成功将领域参悟。
Despite this, he remained cautious.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， lín xuān jiāng mù guāng zhuǎn xiàng le yī páng de mí nǐ shān hé tú ， zhè zhōng jiān yǒu yī jiè de tiān dì fǎ zé ， cān wù hòu duì zì jǐ jiē xià lái de xiū xíng yīng gāi dà yǒu bāng zhù 。
脑海中念头转过，林轩将目光转向了一旁的迷你山河图，这中间有一界的天地法则，参悟后对自己接下来的修行应该大有帮助。
In an instant, Lin Xuan turned into a lifeless statue.
rú jīn shí jiān hěn duō ， zú yǐ xì xì chuǎi mó 。
如今时间很多，足以细细揣摩。
Seated motionlessly, it appeared as if time itself had come to a standstill.
lín xuān jiāng quán bù shén shí fàng chū 。 jìn rùn jìn mí nǐ shān hé tú 。
林轩将全部神识放出。浸润进迷你山河图。
**Winter gave way to spring, summer ended, and autumn returned. Time passed swiftly, but in the mysterious cold spring, no sense of passage of time could be felt; it seemed like an eternal moment.**
qí fù zá chéng dù lìng rén zé shé ， ruò shì jìng jiè bù zú ， cān wù de wēi xiǎn jiāng fēi cháng kě bù ， qīng zé shén shí cuò luàn 。 zhòng zé bào tǐ ér wáng ， bì jìng zhè xiǎo xiǎo de yī fāng shān hé tú lǐ miàn ， náng kuò de què shì yī jiè fǎ zé 。
其复杂程度令人咋舌，若是境界不足，参悟的危险将非常可怖，轻则神识错乱。重则爆体而亡，毕竟这小小的一方山河图里面，囊括的却是一界法则。
Due to prolonged inactivity, Lin Xuan's body was covered with layers of sand… or perhaps dust would be a more fitting description after so long.
lín xuān de shén shí bú yòng shuō ， zǎo yǐ dào le chāo yuè zhēn xiān de dì bù 。 jí biàn bǐ zhī dāng nián de ā xiū luó ， yě háo bù xùn sè 。
林轩的神识不用说，早已到了超越真仙的地步。即便比之当年的阿修罗，也毫不逊色。
One day, Lin Xuan finally lifted his head.
jí biàn rú cǐ ， tā yī jiù bù gǎn yǒu sī háo dài màn shén me 。
即便如此，他依旧不敢有丝毫怠慢什么。
It appeared as if the ancient statue had come back to life.
qǐng kè jiān 。 jiù biàn chéng le ní sù mù diāo zhī wù 。
顷刻间。就变成了泥塑木雕之物。
**Huff!**
yī dòng bù dòng de zuò zài nà lǐ 。
一动不动的坐在那里。
Lin Xuan took a deep breath and expelled the stale air from his lungs. His expression was one of immense relief; after a century of effort, he had finally comprehended it.
yuǎn yuǎn wàng qù ， fǎng fú shì yǒng héng de zuì hǎo quán shì 。
远远望去，仿佛是永恒的最好诠释。
The laws of an entire world contained within the Miniature River and Mountain Map were now clear to Lin Xuan.
……
……
Such a vast treasure was beyond measure.
dōng qù chūn lái ， xià mò qiū yòu zhì ， suì yuè cōng cōng ， bǎi nián yì guò ， kě xī zài zhè shén mì de hán tán ， gǎn jué bú dào shí jiān de liú shì ， fǎng fú héng gǔ yǐ lái biàn yì zhí rú cǐ 。
冬去春来，夏末秋又至，岁月匆匆，百年易过，可惜在这神秘的寒潭，感觉不到时间的流逝，仿佛恒古以来便一直如此。
With this newfound understanding, his chances of comprehending his domain increased significantly.
yóu yú tài jiǔ wèi dòng ， lín xuān de shēn shàng ， dōu jī shàng le yī céng shā lì …… bù ， huò xǔ shuō chéng huī chén gèng jiā shì hé ， zhǐ bù guò tài jiǔ wèi dòng ， gù ér biàn chéng le shā zi 。
由于太久未动，林轩的身上，都积上了一层沙粒……不，或许说成灰尘更加适合，只不过太久未动，故而变成了沙子。
A smile played on Lin Xuan's lips as he retrieved another peach fruit.
zhè tiān lín xuān zhōng yú tái qǐ le tóu lú 。
这天林轩终于抬起了头颅。
The aroma was overwhelming, and the nine spirit patterns stood out prominently.
fǎng fú gǔ lǎo de diāo xiàng zài yī shùn jiān huī fù le huó lì 。
仿佛古老的雕像在一瞬间恢复了活力。
This time, instead of using his fingernail to pick up a small portion, Lin Xuan swallowed it whole, like gulping down an entire peach.
lín xuān shēn shēn hū xī ， tǔ chū yī kǒu xiōng zhōng de zhuó qì ， liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng ， nà jiào yí gè shū shuǎng wú bǐ ， bǎi nián xīn kǔ ， zhōng yú rú yuàn lǐng wù 。
林轩深深呼吸，吐出一口胸中的浊气，脸上的表情，那叫一个舒爽无比，百年辛苦，终于如愿领悟。
A loud noise filled his ears, and before him, it seemed as if thunder rumbled. Lin Xuan's consciousness became hazy, and then he found himself back in the mysterious interface.
zhè mí nǐ shān hé tú zhōng suǒ bāo hán de yī jiè fǎ zé ， lín xuān quán dōu cān xiáng qīng chǔ 。
这迷你山河图中所包含的一界法则，林轩全都参详清楚。
Darkness enveloped everything, but far away, stars shone brightly, like a primordial universe.
zhěng zhěng yī jiè de fǎ zé ， kě xiǎng ér zhī zhè shì duō me jù dà de shōu huò 。
整整一界的法则，可想而知这是多么巨大的收获。
Lin Xuan closed his eyes and began to sense deeply. Indeed, there were no laws here; it was as blank as a piece of paper, allowing him to freely paint on it.
rú cǐ yī lái ， huò dé lǐng yù ， zì rán yòu duō le jǐ fēn bǎ wò 。
如此一来，获得领域，自然又多了几分把握。
Lin Xuan's heart leaped with excitement, knowing the value of this opportunity. Such an excellent chance shouldn't be wasted.
lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo biān lù chū yī sī xiào yì ， xiù páo yī shuǎi ， chóng xīn jiāng pán táo shèng guǒ qǔ le chū lái 。
林轩嘴角边露出一丝笑意，袖袍一甩，重新将蟠桃圣果取了出来。
After some thought, Lin Xuan's hands began to move in the air.
yì xiāng pū bí ， jiǔ tiáo líng wén gèng shì xǐng mù wú bǐ 。
异香扑鼻，九条灵纹更是醒目无比。
The temperature around him dropped significantly.
zhè yī cì ， lín xuān méi yǒu yòng zhǐ jiǎ tiāo qǐ yì diǎn ， ér shì yī yǎng tóu ， rú hú lún tūn zǎo yì bān ， zhěng gè jiāng qí tūn luò jìn le dǔ zi lǐ 。
这一次，林轩没有用指甲挑起一点，而是一仰头，如囫囵吞枣一般，整个将其吞落进了肚子里。
Snowflakes as large as goose feathers fell from the sky, and the world was soon covered in a silver blanket. Darkness was driven away, and within a few miles, everything turned into an icy landscape.
hōng ！
轰！
But Lin Xuan wasn't satisfied.
jù xiǎng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yǎn qián fǎng fú yǒu léi míng dà zuò ， lín xuān de yì shí yī zhèn mó hú ， suí hòu tā fā xiàn zì jǐ yòu huí dào nà shén mì de jiè miàn le 。
巨响声传入耳朵，眼前仿佛有雷鸣大做，林轩的意识一阵模糊，随后他发现自己又回到那神秘的界面了。
This was merely manipulating ice and snow; it didn't constitute the extreme cold law. How could he create such a law?
yī piàn hēi àn ， jí yuǎn chù què yǒu xīng guāng yào yǎn ， páng rú hóng méng yǔ zhòu yì bān 。
一片黑暗，极远处却有星光耀眼，彷如鸿蒙宇宙一般。
Lin Xuan rubbed his forehead as he pondered continuously.
lín xuān bì shàng yǎn jīng ， xì xì gǎn wù ， guǒ rán ， zhè lǐ méi yǒu tiān dì fǎ zé ， rú tóng bái zhǐ yì bān ， kě yǐ rèn yóu zì jǐ huī sǎ ， suí xīn suǒ yù de zài shàng miàn zuò huà 。
林轩闭上眼睛，细细感悟，果然，这里没有天地法则，如同白纸一般，可以任由自己挥洒，随心所欲的在上面作画。
The spells in his hands kept changing, and the divine essence he released fluctuated wildly.
lín xuān jiàn liè xīn xǐ ， yě míng bái zhè ge jī huì bǎo guì yǐ jí ， rú cǐ liáng jī ， dāng rán méi yǒu làng fèi de dào lǐ 。
林轩见猎心喜，也明白这个机会宝贵以极，如此良机，当然没有浪费的道理。
Strong winds danced around him.
lüè yī sī suǒ ， lín xuān shuāng shǒu biàn zài xū kōng zhōng fān fēi qǐ lái le 。
略一思索，林轩双手便在虚空中翻飞起来了。
Snowflakes fell more fiercely than ever before.
dùn shí ， sì zhōu de wēn dù xià jiàng le xǔ duō 。
顿时，四周的温度下降了许多。
But to no avail.
é máo bān de dà xuě suí fēng piāo luò ， tiān kōng zhōng yín zhuāng sù guǒ ， hēi àn bèi qū zhú ， hěn kuài fāng yuán shù lǐ ， jiù huà wèi le yī piàn bīng xuě de tiān dì 。
鹅毛般的大雪随风飘落，天空中银装素裹，黑暗被驱逐，很快方圆数里，就化为了一片冰雪的天地。
No matter how much snow there was, it couldn't create a new law.
rán ér lín xuān bìng bù mǎn zú 。
然而林轩并不满足。
Even though Lin Xuan had understood the Miniature River and Mountain Map, creating a domain's laws wasn't as simple as copying them. It required adapting to the timing, location, and circumstances; otherwise, even if he created a new law, it would only be a superficial imitation, fooling people but failing against true masters.
zhè jǐn jǐn shì cāo zòng bīng xuě ér yǐ ， yuǎn yuǎn suàn bù shàng jí hán fǎ zé ， yào zěn me cái néng gòu jiāng qí chuàng zào chū lái ne ？
这仅仅是操纵冰雪而已，远远算不上极寒法则，要怎么才能够将其创造出来呢？
Lin Xuan wouldn't do such foolish things. He wanted his domain to be perfect.
lín xuān yǐ shǒu fǔ é 。
林轩以手抚额。
**First attempt: Extreme Cold Law**
bù tíng de sī suǒ 。
不停的思索。
After this failed attempt, Lin Xuan showed no disappointment on his face.
qí jiān shǒu zhōng de fǎ jué bù tíng de biàn huàn zhe ， shì fàng chū lái de shén shí zhī lì gèng shì hū qiáng hū ruò 。
其间手中的法诀不停的变幻着，释放出来的神识之力更是忽强忽弱。
A domain was so profound; how could one expect it to be comprehended in a single step?
kuáng fēng fēi wǔ 。
狂风飞舞。
One failure wasn't significant.
é máo dà xuě gèng jiā fēng kuáng de piāo luò 。
鹅毛大雪更加疯狂的飘落。
The key was not to lose confidence and continue trying with persistence.
kě méi yǒu yòng tú 。
可没有用途。
With these thoughts in mind, he shouted loudly and punched forward.
After thoroughly considering the details, Lin Xuan took a deep breath and was about to delve into comprehending his domain as he had planned. However, at that moment, something unexpected happened.
**Wu…**
The scene before him blurred momentarily, and then Lin Xuan found himself back at the bottom of the cold spring.
