lín xuān shuāng shǒu hái zài bù tíng huī wǔ ， xiān jiàn suǒ sàn fà chū lái de guāng máng yě yuè fā cì mù 。
林轩双手还在不停挥舞，仙剑所散发出来的光芒也越发刺目。
Lin Xuan's hands continued to wave, and the light emitted by his divine sword became increasingly blinding.
lín xuān yī zhǐ xiàng qián diǎn qù 。
林轩一指向前点去。
With a flick of his finger, Lin Xuan pointed forward. The divine sword made a sharp turn and suddenly grew larger as it spun around in the air.
nà xiān jiàn yí gè zhuǎn zhé ， dī liū liū yī zhuǎn zhī xià jìng rán yíng fēng biàn dà le 。
那仙剑一个转折，滴溜溜一转之下竟然迎风变大了。
Numerous runes appeared faintly, spewing forth. Lin Xuan had already merged all the attributes of his innate treasure into one.
tóng shí wú shù fú wén ruò yǐn ruò xiàn de pēn bó 。
同时无数符文若隐若现的喷薄。
Illusion!
lín xuān yǐ jiāng běn mìng fǎ bǎo de shǔ xìng huà ér wèi yī liǎo 。
林轩已将本命法宝的属性化而为一了。
No, more accurately, this should be called an Illusory Divine Sword.
huàn shù ！
幻术！
Nine Palaces Instantaneous Technique!
bù ， zhèng què de shuō ， yīng gāi shì huàn zhī xiān jiàn cái gèng jiā shì hé 。
不，正确的说，应该是幻之仙剑才更加适合。
The nine attributes were inherently each with their own unique uses.
jiǔ gōng xū yú ！
九宫须臾！
Like the divine sword before him, it not only deceived the senses but also broke through restrictions of illusionary techniques.
jiǔ zhǒng shǔ xìng yuán běn jiù shì gè yǒu miào yòng dì 。
九种属性原本就是各有妙用地。
Lin Xuan then slashed forward with his sword. A blinding green light erupted, and a series of rings exploded outward. A white hole appeared above his head.
xiàng yǎn qián de xiān jiàn 。
像眼前的仙剑。
Spatial power radiated out.
bù jǐn néng gòu huò rén ěr mù ， ér qiě hái néng gòu jiāng huàn shù lèi de jìn zhì pò chú 。
不仅能够惑人耳目，而且还能够将幻术类的禁制破除。
Clearly, this was the path to the immortal's abode.
suí hòu lín xuān yī jiàn xiàng qián zhǎn chū 。
随后林轩一剑向前斩出。
There was no hesitation on Lin Xuan's face as he flew into it. The scene returned to silence until half an hour later when Marquis Tianyuan arrived here.
qīng guāng cì mù ， yī lún lún guāng yùn bào kāi ， tóu dǐng yī bái méng méng de kǒng dòng fú xiàn yú yǎn qián 。
青光刺目，一轮轮光晕爆开，头顶一白蒙蒙的孔洞浮现于眼前。
"Hey, there are signs of a battle and some broken puppets. I really didn't misjudge; that Lingji fellow is just a puppet crafted by a true immortal," the old voice echoed in his ears, filled with satisfaction.
kōng jiān zhī lì sàn fà ér chū 。
空间之力散发而出。
"You didn't deceive me. But how can a mere puppet be so lifelike? It looks almost like a real person. Could there be someone's soul fragment controlling it?" Unlike Marquis Tianyuan's calm demeanor, his expression was one of shock as he spoke.
háo wú yí wèn ， cǐ chù biàn néng tōng wǎng nà wèi xiān rén de dòng fǔ 。
毫无疑问，此处便能通往那位仙人的洞府。
"Hmph, what's surprising about that? Immortal secrets aren't something you lowly mortals can easily imagine. Who said puppets must be controlled by souls? Spirit-controlled puppets are not considered anything special in the immortal realm."
lín xuān liǎn shàng bìng méi yǒu lù chū shén me yóu yù zhī sè 。
林轩脸上并没有露出什么犹豫之色。
"Spirit-controlled puppet?"
shēn xíng yī huǎng ， biàn fēi jìn qù le 。
身形一晃，便飞进去了。
"Indeed, although this puppet is made from various rare materials, it can generate its own intelligence. It remains a servant of an immortal and can be driven at will, making it much more useful than ordinary puppets," said the old voice proudly.
yuán dì yòu huī fù le jìng mì ， zhí dào bàn gè shí chén yǐ hòu ， tiān yuán hóu lái dào le zhè lǐ 。
原地又恢复了静谧，直到半个时辰以后，天元侯来到了这里。
"The secrets of the immortal realm are truly formidable." Marquis Tianyuan couldn't help but express admiration: "Unfortunately, that Lin boy discovered it."
“ yí ， zhè lǐ yǒu zhàn dòu guò de hén jì ， hái yǒu yī xiē cán pò de kuǐ lěi ， běn xiān guǒ rán méi yǒu liào cuò ， nà jiào líng jī de jiā huo bù guò shì yī zhēn xiān suǒ liàn zhì de kuǐ lěi bà le 。” cāng lǎo de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yǔ qì zhī zhōng chōng mǎn le yí rán zì dé 。
“咦，这里有战斗过的痕迹，还有一些残破的傀儡，本仙果然没有料错，那叫灵玑的家伙不过是一真仙所炼制的傀儡罢了。”苍老的声音传入耳朵，语气之中充满了怡然自得。
"Your words remind me. That little fellow is becoming increasingly interesting. Remember, spirit-controlled puppets, despite their varied functions, share a common trait—they excel in transformation techniques. Unless your consciousness reaches the level of a true immortal, no one can discern them," he said, his expression filled with unease.
“ nǐ guǒ rán méi yǒu piàn wǒ ， bù guò yī kuǐ lěi zěn me kě néng xǔ xǔ rú shēng dào rú cǐ dì bù ， kàn qǐ lái jìng yǔ zhēn rén xiāng chà fǎng fú ， nán dào lǐ miàn shì yǒu shéi de fēn hún zài cāo kòng me ？” yǔ nà shén mì zhēn xiān de dàn dìng bù tóng ， tiān yuán hóu liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng jiù míng xiǎn shì yī fù chī jīng zhī sè ， yǒu xiē bù kě sī yì de kāi kǒu le 。
“你果然没有骗我，不过一傀儡怎么可能栩栩如生到如此地步，看起来竟与真人相差仿佛，难道里面是有谁的分魂在操控么？”与那神秘真仙的淡定不同，天元侯脸上的表情就明显是一副吃惊之色，有些不可思议的开口了。
The old voice paused thoughtfully. The cultivation speed was astonishing, and so was his divine consciousness. He had to be far above others at his level.
“ hēng ， zhè yòu yǒu shén me xī qí ， xiān jiè mì shù qǐ shì nǐ men zhè xiē xià jiè fán rén néng gòu qīng yì xiǎng xiàng dì ， shuí shuō kuǐ lěi yí dìng yào hún pò cāo kòng ， tōng líng kuǐ lěi zài xiān jiè yě bù suàn yǒu shén me liǎo bù qǐ 。”
“哼，这又有什么稀奇，仙界秘术岂是你们这些下界凡人能够轻易想象地，谁说傀儡一定要魂魄操控，通灵傀儡在仙界也不算有什么了不起。”
Dominating all!
“ tōng líng kuǐ lěi ？”
“通灵傀儡？”
So many advantages in one person… could it be that another prodigy from the mortal realm is about to emerge?
“ bù cuò ， cǐ kuǐ lěi suī yě shì yóu gè zhǒng zhēn xī cái liào zhì zuò 。 dàn què shì kě yǐ chǎn shēng líng zhì de ， dàn yī jiù shì xiān rén de nú pú ， rèn yóu wǒ men qū cè ， bǐ píng cháng de kuǐ lěi yào hǎo yòng xǔ duō 。” nà cāng lǎo de shēng yīn ào rán de shuō 。
“不错，此傀儡虽也是由各种珍稀材料制作。但却是可以产生灵智的，但依旧是仙人的奴仆，任由我们驱策，比平常的傀儡要好用许多。”那苍老的声音傲然的说。
Knowing the first was Asura, who once turned the immortal realm upside down.
“ xiān jiè mì shù jìng rú cǐ liǎo de 。” tiān yuán hóu yě bù yóu de lù chū zàn tàn zhī sè ：“ kě xī hái shì bèi nà lín xiǎo zi fā xiàn le 。”
“仙界秘术竟如此了得。”天元侯也不由得露出赞叹之色：“可惜还是被那林小子发现了。”
A bad feeling arose within him.
“ nǐ zhè huà dǎo shì tí xǐng le wǒ ， nà xiǎo jiā huo zhēn shì yuè kàn yuè yǒu qù le ， xū zhī tōng líng kuǐ lěi suī gōng néng gè yì ， dàn yǒu yí gè gòng tóng diǎn ， biàn shì jīng shàn biàn huà zhī shù ， chú fēi shén shí dá dào zhēn xiān de dì bù ， yì bān rén gēn běn jiù bù kě néng kàn pò 。 duì fāng bù guò shì ròu tǐ fán tāi de xiū xiān zhě ， jū rán yǒu zhè yàng de běn shì me ……”
“你这话倒是提醒了我，那小家伙真是越看越有趣了，须知通灵傀儡虽功能各异，但有一个共同点，便是精擅变化之术，除非神识达到真仙的地步，一般人根本就不可能看破。对方不过是肉体凡胎的修仙者，居然有这样的本事么……”
"Old guy, what are you staring at?" Marquis Tianyuan sounded displeased.
nà cāng lǎo de shēng yīn shuō dào zhè lǐ ， yì shì yī liǎn de chén yín ， xiū xíng sù dù lìng rén zé shé ， lián shén shí yě rú cǐ lí pǔ ， tā néng gòu dāng shàng xiān dào méng zhǔ ， nà shí lì wú yí shì yuǎn chāo tóng jiē de 。
那苍老的声音说到这里，亦是一脸的沉吟，修行速度令人咋舌，连神识也如此离谱，他能够当上仙道盟主，那实力无疑是远超同阶的。
"Stop wasting time. Let's go see the altar."
lì yā qún xióng ！
力压群雄！
"Altar?"
zhè me duō yōu diǎn huì jù yú yí gè rén shēn shàng …… nán dào shuō ， xià jiè de yòu yī míng yāo niè yào dàn shēng le ？
这么多优点汇聚于一个人身上……难道说，下界的又一名妖孽要诞生了？
Marquis Tianyuan looked up and soon noticed the scattered stone pillars. His body radiated golden light as they approached the altar.
yào zhī dào dì yí gè ， biàn shì ā xiū luó 。 dāng nián de tā ， jiāng xiān jiè kě shì jiǎo le yí gè tiān fān dì fù 。
要知道第一个，便是阿修罗。当年的她，将仙界可是搅了一个天翻地覆。
"Immortal Huayu, that old monster!"
xīn zhōng yǒu bù hǎo de yù gǎn fú xiàn ér chū 。
心中有不好的预感浮现而出。
"How do you recognize him?" Marquis Tianyuan hesitated, surprised by this outcome. The situation seemed to be getting more complicated.
“ lǎo jiā huǒ ， nǐ zài fā shén me dāi ？” tiān yuán hóu xiǎn de yǒu xiē bù mǎn 。
“老家伙，你在发什么呆？”天元侯显得有些不满。
"Hmph, how could I not recognize him? He is well-known in the immortal realm. Back when the Blue Star Sea…" The old voice suddenly paused, realizing he had inadvertently revealed too much.
“ shǎo zài zhè lǐ luō suo ， nǐ qiě dài wǒ qù kàn kàn qián miàn de jì tán 。”
“少在这里啰嗦，你且带我去看看前面的祭坛。”
"How was the Blue Star Sea? What is it?" Marquis Tianyuan pressed urgently.
“ jì tán ？”
“祭坛？”
"That's a treasure of the immortal realm. You wouldn't know even if I told you. Immortal treasures are countless; do I have to list them all for you?" The true immortal hesitated, unwilling to be explicit and merely evaded his question.
tiān yuán hóu tái qǐ tóu lái 。 hěn kuài yě fā xiàn le nà xiē sàn luò de shí zhù ， hún shēn jīn máng dà zuò ， hěn kuài tā men biàn lái dào nà jì tán de qián miàn le 。
天元侯抬起头来。很快也发现了那些散落的石柱，浑身金芒大做，很快他们便来到那祭坛的前面了。
Marquis Tianyuan was not foolish; he could tell the other was trying to mislead him. He felt extremely frustrated but had no recourse.
“ huà yǔ zhēn rén ， jìng shì nà lǎo guài wù ！”
“化羽真人，竟是那老怪物！”
"Where did that Lin boy go?"
“ zěn me 。 nǐ rèn de cǐ rén me ？” tiān yuán hóu què shì yī liǎn de chóu chú ， méi xiǎng dào zhuī zōng lín xuān ， què zhuī chū le zhè yàng yí gè jié guǒ 。 shì qíng sì hū yuè lái yuè fù zá le 。
“怎么。你认得此人么？”天元侯却是一脸的踌躇，没想到追踪林轩，却追出了这样一个结果。事情似乎越来越复杂了。
"He should have entered Huayu's abode."
“ hēng hēng ， wǒ yòu zěn me huì bù rèn de ， cǐ rén zài xiān jiè ， yì shì dà dà yǒu míng de ， dāng nián lán sè xīng hǎi ……” cāng lǎo de shēng yīn shuō dào cǐ chù ， què měng rán dùn zhù ， nà wèi shén mì de zhēn xiān xīn zhōng ào nǎo yǐ jí ， zì jǐ yí bù xiǎo xīn ， jìng yě shuō lòu le zuǐ qù 。
“哼哼，我又怎么会不认得，此人在仙界，亦是大大有名的，当年蓝色星海……”苍老的声音说到此处，却猛然顿住，那位神秘的真仙心中懊恼以极，自己一不小心，竟也说漏了嘴去。
"Abode? Since it is in the spirit realm, it must be a temporary place for him. Why would Lin Xuan go there?" Marquis Tianyuan said unhappily.
“ lán sè xīng hǎi rú hé ， nà yòu shì shén me dōng xī ？” tiān yuán hóu lián máng zhuī wèn qǐ lái le 。
“蓝色星海如何，那又是什么东西？”天元侯连忙追问起来了。
"I don't know, but you shouldn't underestimate an abode. At Huayu's level, he can control heaven and earth with a wave of his hand. An abode is actually a realm he creates using the laws of nature."
“ nà shì xiān jiè de yī jiàn bǎo wù ， shuō le nǐ yě bù xiǎo de ， xiān jiè qí zhēn yì bǎo shǔ bù shèng shǔ ， nán dào yào wǒ yī jiàn yī jiàn dōu shuō yǔ nǐ tīng me ？” nà wèi zhēn xiān què bù yuàn yì míng yán ， suí kǒu fū yǎn 。
“那是仙界的一件宝物，说了你也不晓得，仙界奇珍异宝数不胜数，难道要我一件一件都说与你听么？”那位真仙却不愿意明言，随口敷衍。
"What, a created realm?"
tiān yuán hóu bù shǎ ， rú hé tīng bù chū duì fāng shì zài hū yōu zì jǐ ， xīn zhōng bù mǎn yǐ jí ， què yě wú jì kě shī 。
天元侯不傻，如何听不出对方是在忽悠自己，心中不满以极，却也无计可施。
"Stop staring so wide-eyed. As a powerful true immortal, creating a world isn't something to be proud of," the old voice said.
“ nà lín xiǎo zi jiū jìng qù le hé chù ？”
“那林小子究竟去了何处？”
Marquis Tianyuan remained silent but showed clear greed on his face.
“ yīng gāi shì huà yǔ nà jiā huo de dòng fǔ 。”
“应该是化羽那家伙的洞府。”
His talent as a cultivator was only average at the Tribulation Transcending stage. Back then, he suffered severe injuries and was like a homeless dog. If not for good fortune, his essence body would have perished long ago. He had no cultivation to speak of now.
“ dòng fǔ ， jì rán shì wèi yú líng jiè zhōng de ， xiǎng lái yě zhǐ shì tā lín shí luò jiǎo de dì diǎn le ， lín xiǎo zi qù nà lǐ gàn shén me ？” tiān yuán hóu yǒu xiē bù mǎn de shuō 。
“洞府，既然是位于灵界中的，想来也只是他临时落脚的地点了，林小子去那里干什么？”天元侯有些不满的说。
Unfortunately, that true immortal hated him deeply. Even when guiding him, he held back. But if Marquis Tianyuan entered Huayu's abode and received his legacy…
“ nǐ wèn wǒ ， wǒ yòu nǎ lǐ xiǎo de ， bù guò nǐ yě bú yào xiǎo kàn yī zuò dòng fǔ ， shí lì dào le huà yǔ nà ge děng jí ， huī shǒu jiān kě yǐ zhǎng kòng tiān dì ， shuō shì dòng fǔ ， qí shí shì tā yùn yòng tiān dì fǎ zé ， chuàng zào chū lái de yí gè jiè miàn 。”
“你问我，我又哪里晓得，不过你也不要小看一座洞府，实力到了化羽那个等级，挥手间可以掌控天地，说是洞府，其实是他运用天地法则，创造出来的一个界面。”
"Let's not talk about it. That Lin boy has already gone in, but I don't know the entrance or how to follow him," Marquis Tianyuan tried to hide his intentions as he said coldly.
“ shén me ， chuàng zào de jiè miàn ？”
“什么，创造的界面？”
...
“ nǐ bù yòng dèng dà niú yǎn ， shēn wèi zhēn xiān zhōng de qiáng zhě ， kāi tiān pì dì ， yòu yǒu shén me liǎo bù qǐ 。” nà cāng lǎo de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ lǐ 。
“你不用瞪大牛眼，身为真仙中的强者，开天辟地，又有什么了不起。”那苍老的声音传入耳朵里。
"This is…"
tiān yuán hóu tīng le chén mò bù yǔ ， dàn liǎn shàng què yě hěn míng xiǎn de lù chū le tān lán zhī sè 。
天元侯听了沉默不语，但脸上却也很明显的露出了贪婪之色。
On the other side of things,
tā de zī zhì zài dù jié qī cún zài zhōng ， bù guò yì bān ér yǐ ， dāng nián diǎn rán gēn yuán zhī huǒ ， shēn shòu zhòng shāng gèng huáng huáng rán yǔ sàng jiā zhī quǎn chà bu duō ， ruò bú shì jī yuán qiǎo hé ， yuán yīng yǔ zhè zhēn xiān de hún pò róng hé ， zǎo yǐ shēn sǐ yǔn luò ， gèng bú yào shuō yǒu rú jīn de xiū wèi le 。
他的资质在渡劫期存在中，不过一般而已，当年点燃根源之火，身受重伤更惶惶然与丧家之犬差不多，若不是机缘巧合，元婴与这真仙的魂魄融合，早已身死陨落，更不要说有如今的修为了。
Lin Xuan felt dizzy and disoriented before the scenery gradually became clear. He took a deep breath and managed to stabilize himself, not falling into the ground.
kě xī nà zhēn xiān qí shí hèn tā rù gǔ ， jí biàn zhǐ diǎn yě shì yǒu suǒ bǎo liú de ， dàn rú guǒ zì jǐ jìn rù zhè huà yǔ zhēn rén de dòng fǔ ， dé dào tā de chuán chéng ……
可惜那真仙其实恨他入骨，即便指点也是有所保留的，但如果自己进入这化羽真人的洞府，得到他的传承……
"This must be an immortal's abode."
“ qiě bù shuō zhè me duō ， nà lín xiǎo zi yǐ jīng jìn qù le ， kě wǒ què bù zhī dào rù kǒu zài nǎ lǐ ， yào zěn me zhuī shàng qù ？” tiān yuán hóu jié lì jiāng zì jǐ de yì tú cáng qǐ ， bīng lěng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ lǐ 。
“且不说这么多，那林小子已经进去了，可我却不知道入口在哪里，要怎么追上去？”天元侯竭力将自己的意图藏起，冰冷的声音传入耳朵里。
Lin Xuan looked around, observing his surroundings. The sky was blue with white clouds; it seemed no different from the spirit realm at first glance.
……
……
But the air was filled with a different type of energy—not in concentration but in attributes.
“ zhè lǐ shì ……”
“这里是……”
"Could this be…"
zài shuō lìng yī biān 。
再说另一边。
Lin Xuan took a deep breath and felt refreshed. He then grabbed some "energy," which transformed into crystals under his palm, smaller than grains of rice, invisible to ordinary people.
lín xuān zhǐ jué tiān xuán dì zhuàn ， suí hòu yǎn qián de jǐng wù ， jiàn jiàn de guī yú qīng xī 。
林轩只觉天旋地转，随后眼前的景物，渐渐的归于清晰。
However, by attribute, it resembled immortal stones.
tā xī le kǒu qì ， zǒng suàn jiāng shēn xíng wěn zhù ， méi yǒu zhuì luò shuāi rù ní tǔ lǐ 。
他吸了口气，总算将身形稳住，没有坠落摔入泥土里。
"It seems my guess was right; the air here isn't ordinary energy but legendary immortal energy."
“ zhè lǐ jiù shì zhēn xiān de dòng fǔ 。”
“这里就是真仙的洞府。”
This discovery brought joy. If not for other dangers and how to leave, this place would be a paradise for cultivation.
lín xuān yóu mù sì gù ， dǎ liàng zhe sì zhōu de jǐng wù 。
林轩游目四顾，打量着四周的景物。
But Lin Xuan did not leap with joy or exclaim. Besides Moon's whereabouts, he noticed many other issues.
lán tiān ， bái yún ， zhà yī kàn yǔ líng jiè yě méi yǒu shén me bù tóng zhī chù 。
蓝天，白云，乍一看与灵界也没有什么不同之处。
He continued his journey towards the hundred-refined immortal realm.
Lin Xuan's hands continued to wave, and the light emitted by his divine sword became increasingly blinding.
"Quickly!"
With a flick of his finger, Lin Xuan pointed forward. The divine sword made a sharp turn and suddenly grew larger as it spun around in the air.
Numerous runes appeared faintly, spewing forth. Lin Xuan had already merged all the attributes of his innate treasure into one.
Illusion!
No, more accurately, this should be called an Illusory Divine Sword.
Nine Palaces Instantaneous Technique!
The nine attributes were inherently each with their own unique uses.
Like the divine sword before him, it not only deceived the senses but also broke through restrictions of illusionary techniques.
Lin Xuan then slashed forward with his sword. A blinding green light erupted, and a series of rings exploded outward. A white hole appeared above his head.
Spatial power radiated out.
Clearly, this was the path to the immortal's abode.
There was no hesitation on Lin Xuan's face as he flew into it. The scene returned to silence until half an hour later when Marquis Tianyuan arrived here.
"Hey, there are signs of a battle and some broken puppets. I really didn't misjudge; that Lingji fellow is just a puppet crafted by a true immortal," the old voice echoed in his ears, filled with satisfaction.
