lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo biān lù chū yī sī jī cháo zhī sè ， xiù páo yī fú ， yī dào qīng xiá fēi lüè ér chū ， lüè yī shǎn shuò ， biàn huà wèi yī qīng guāng liú lí de dà shǒu le 。
林轩嘴角边露出一丝讥嘲之色，袖袍一拂，一道青霞飞掠而出，略一闪烁，便化为一青光琉璃的大手了。
Lin Xuan's lips curled into a sneer as he flicked his sleeves. A streak of green light shot out, shimmering and then transforming into a large hand made of translucent blue.
“ hū ” de yī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， jìng yǐ cóng yuán dì xiāo shī ， biàn dé zōng jì quán wú 。
“呼”的一声传入耳朵，竟已从原地消失，变得踪迹全无。
"Whoosh," the sound entered his ears, and it had already vanished from its original spot, leaving no trace behind.
xià yī kè ， què guǐ yì de chū xiàn zài nà jīn hóng zhī cè ， wǔ zhǐ zhāng kāi ， wú shù mǐ lì dà xiǎo de fú wén cóng lǐ miàn pēn bó chū lái 。
下一刻，却诡异的出现在那金虹之侧，五指张开，无数米粒大小的符文从里面喷薄出来。
In the next moment, it strangely appeared beside the golden beam, fingers spread wide. Countless tiny符文sprang forth from within.
qǐng kè zhī jiān ， yǐ huà wèi le yī zhāng dà wǎng ， qīng ér yì jǔ de lǒng zhào zhù le nà dào jīn guāng 。
顷刻之间，已化为了一张大网，轻而易举的笼罩住了那道金光。
In an instant, they transformed into a large net that easily enveloped the golden light.
lín xuān shǒu yī tái ， jīn sè de guāng máng xiāo sàn ， bèi nà dà wǎng lǒng zhào zhe lái dào le tā de shēn qián 。
林轩手一抬，金色的光芒消散，被那大网笼罩着来到了他的身前。
Lin Xuan raised his hand; the golden glow dissipated as the net brought its contents before him.
shì yī kuài bā zhǎng dà xiǎo de jīng hé 。
是一块巴掌大小的晶核。
It was a crystal nucleus about the size of a palm.
xiǎng lái biàn shì lèi sì yú xiū shì de yuán yīng zhī wù ， lǐ miàn yǒu zhe jù rén de hún pò ， fèn nù de páo xiāo shēng hái zài bù tíng de chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
想来便是类似于修士的元婴之物，里面有着巨人的魂魄，愤怒的咆哮声还在不停的传入耳朵。
This must be akin to what cultivators call a soul embryo. Inside it lay the giant's spirit, and its angry roars continued to echo in Lin Xuan's ears.
“ hēng ， dōu dào le zhè ge shí hòu ， hái bù lǎo shí ？”
“哼，都到了这个时候，还不老实？”
"Hmph. Even now, still not willing to cooperate?"
lín xuān de liǎn shàng shǎn guò yī sī lì qì 。
林轩的脸上闪过一丝戾气。
A trace of viciousness flashed across Lin Xuan's face as he reached out to grasp the crystal nucleus and immediately deployed his soul probing technique.
shēn shǒu wò zhù jīng hé ， háo bù yóu yù de shī zhǎn chū sōu hún zhī shù 。
伸手握住晶核，毫不犹豫的施展出搜魂之术。
...
……
……
After a meal's worth of time had passed, Lin Xuan set down the crystal nucleus; his expression was dark with frustration. The soul probing technique proved ineffective. Despite all his efforts, he gained no information. His only收获was that the giant's spirit vanished from within the crystal nucleus.
yī dùn fàn de gōng fu guò qù le 。
一顿饭的功夫过去了。
This outcome was not what he expected, but Lin Xuan wasn't too surprised given the circumstances of being in a仙人的洞府. Anything could happen here.
lín xuān fàng xià jīng hé ， liǎn sè què shì yīn mái dào le jí chù 。
林轩放下晶核，脸色却是阴霾到了极处。
Lin Xuan didn't dwell on this issue; his immediate priority was to find Yue'er. Just arriving here and encountering such an attack from the giant so unexpectedly meant that Yue'er and Xiao Die must have endured much danger over these years.
sōu hún shù méi yǒu xiào guǒ 。
搜魂术没有效果。
Although the two girls were formidable, he couldn't rest easy until they were found.
zì jǐ fèi jìn xīn jī ， què méi yǒu dé dào rèn hé xiāo xī ， wéi yī de shōu huò ， biàn shì ràng jù rén de hún pò cóng jīng hé zhōng xiāo shī 。
自己费尽心机，却没有得到任何消息，唯一的收获，便是让巨人的魂魄从晶核中消失。
...
zhè zhǒng jié guǒ ， shì zì jǐ shì xiān méi yǒu yù liào dào de 。
这种结果，是自己事先没有预料到的。
Lin Xuan didn't know that at this very moment, in a hidden cave far away, something was suddenly opened its eyes. A sinister laugh echoed through the darkness: "Blue Star Sea, hahaha. After so many years, you've finally returned to my abode. This time, I won't miss the opportunity. The power of this treasure will surely help me fulfill my wish."
dàn lín xuān yě méi yǒu tài jīng qí ， bì jìng zhè shì zài xiān rén de dòng fǔ lǐ ， fā shēng shén me dōu bìng fēi bù kě sī yì 。
但林轩也没有太惊奇，毕竟这是在仙人的洞府里，发生什么都并非不可思议。
The voice grew softer until it was barely audible.
lín xuān méi yǒu jiū jié zhè ge wèn tí 。
林轩没有纠结这个问题。
Lin Xuan remained unaware of all this as he set out on his quest for Yue'er. His divine sense was suppressed, making the journey difficult.
xún zhǎo dào yuè ér cái shì dāng wù zhī jí 。
寻找到月儿才是当务之急。
But he wasn't alone; another visitor had arrived at the same time. Heavenly Pill Marquis shattered through space and appeared here too. Unfortunately, his luck didn't fare much better than Lin Xuan's. As soon as he emerged, a swarm of demon insects attacked him.
zì jǐ cái gāng gāng lái dào zhè lǐ ， jiù mò míng qí miào de zāo yù jù rén de gōng jī ， kě xiǎng ér zhī ， yuè ér yǔ xiǎo dié ， zhè xiē nián ， shì rú hé zài zhè wēi xiǎn de dì fāng áo guò lái dì 。
自己才刚刚来到这里，就莫名其妙的遭遇巨人的攻击，可想而知，月儿与小蝶，这些年，是如何在这危险的地方熬过来地。
These insects were peculiar in appearance—like tiny tenfold-sized scorpions, but they were incredibly fierce with a vast number, numbering over ten thousand. In the past, Heavenly Pill Marquis would have had no chance to resist them, but now this old monster had advanced to late-stage Tribulation Transcender and received secret techniques from a true cultivator. Thus, despite some trouble, he easily handled the situation.
suī rán liǎng nǚ shí lì bù sú ， dàn bù jìn kuài jiāng tā men zhǎo dào ， zì jǐ wú lùn rú hé 。 yě shì bù kě néng ān xīn dì 。
虽然两女实力不俗，但不尽快将她们找到，自己无论如何。也是不可能安心地。
"What are these things? And why can't I use my法则power or even activate my domain here?" Heavenly Pill Marquis's expression was grim; anyone whose power was diminished would naturally be unhappy about it.
……
……
"Bone Scorpion Insects are merely ordinary low-grade spirit insects in the仙界. The inability to use your法则power and lose the effect of your domain is because this isn't a regular true cultivator's abode but has evolved into a miniature fairy realm," an old voice said.
lín xuān bù zhī dào de shì ， yǔ cǐ tóng shí ， jù lí cǐ dì bù zhī dào duō yuǎn de yī yǐn mì de dòng fǔ 。
林轩不知道的是，与此同时，距离此地不知道多远的一隐秘的洞府。
"A fairy realm? What exactly is that, can you explain it more clearly?"
hēi àn zhī zhōng mǒu wù tū rán zhēng kāi le shuāng mù ， yīn chén de lěng xiào chuán rù ěr duǒ ：“ lán sè xīng hǎi ， hēi hēi ， shì gé zhè me duō nián ， zhōng yú yòu lái dào le běn xiān de dòng fǔ lǐ miàn ， zhè yī cì ， wǒ bú huì zài cuò shī liáng jī ， cǐ bǎo de shén qí wēi lì 。 yí dìng néng gòu zhù wǒ dá chéng xīn yuàn dì 。”
黑暗之中某物突然睁开了双目，阴沉的冷笑传入耳朵：“蓝色星海，嘿嘿，事隔这么多年，终于又来到了本仙的洞府里面，这一次，我不会再错失良机，此宝的神奇威力。一定能够助我达成心愿地。”
"True fairy realms are vast in area. A miniature fairy realm is created by powerful true cultivators to mimic the environment of the fairy realm. Although they cannot compare to the real thing, they have similar rules and are filled with fairy qi. Thus, people from the lower world will be bound by these laws because their power doesn't reach that level; hence, they can't comprehend or activate their domains."
nà shēng yīn yuè lái yuè dī ， zhí zhì bù kě wén ……
那声音越来越低，直至不可闻……
"So, there's no solution?"
ér zhè yī qiè ， lín xuān bìng bù xiǎo de ， cǐ shí tā yǐ tà shàng le qù xún zhǎo yuè ér de dào lù 。
而这一切，林轩并不晓得，此时他已踏上了去寻找月儿的道路。
"Unless your strength reaches that of a true cultivator, you'll definitely be under restraint," the old voice said firmly.
yóu yú shén shí shòu dào yā zhì ， zhè ge guò chéng bìng bù shùn lì 。
由于神识受到压制，这个过程并不顺利。
Heavenly Pill Marquis remained silent.
ér zhè shén mì de kōng jiān ， yě bù zhǐ lái le tā yí gè fǎng kè 。
而这神秘的空间，也不止来了他一个访客。
"You don't need to worry. That Feathered True Man should have long perished. But after so many years, this miniature fairy realm has surely grown into its own world. The creatures and plants living here are vastly different from those in the spirit realm. While danger lurks everywhere, it can also be seen as a great opportunity for you," the mysterious true cultivator said with deep intent.
tiān yuán hóu pò suì xū kōng ， tóng yàng chū xiàn zài le cǐ dì ， ér qiě yùn qì yě bìng bù bǐ lín xuān shāo wēi hǎo yī xiē ， gāng gāng chū xiàn 。 jiù yù jiàn le yī qún mó chóng de xí jī 。
天元侯破碎虚空，同样出现在了此地，而且运气也并不比林轩稍微好一些，刚刚出现。就遇见了一群魔虫的袭击。
Heavenly Pill Marquis understood what was implied by his words and his eyes lit up. He transformed into a streak of startling light and flew off towards the distance.
zhè zhǒng mó chóng zhǎng dé gǔ guài yǐ jí ， yǒu xiē xiàng suō xiǎo le shí bèi de xiē zi ， piān piān què yòu xiōng hàn wú bǐ ， shù liàng yì shì jí duō 。 zú yǒu shàng wàn zhī shù ， ruò shì yǐ qián de tiān yuán hóu ， kě yǐ shuō sī háo fǎn kàng zhī lì yě wú ， rán ér rú jīn zhè lǎo guài wù 。 yǐ jīn fēi xī bǐ ， bù jǐn jìn jiē dào dù jié hòu qī ， ér qiě hái dé dào zhēn xiān zhǐ diǎn mì shù 。 gù ér suī rán fèi le yī fān bō zhé ， hái shì hěn róng yì jiù huà xiǎn wéi yí diào le 。
这种魔虫长得古怪以极，有些像缩小了十倍的蝎子，偏偏却又凶悍无比，数量亦是极多。足有上万之数，若是以前的天元侯，可以说丝毫反抗之力也无，然而如今这老怪物。已今非昔比，不仅进阶到渡劫后期，而且还得到真仙指点秘术。故而虽然费了一番波折，还是很容易就化险为夷掉了。
...
“ zhè xiē jiū jìng shì shén me dōng xī ， hái yǒu zài zhè ge dì fāng ， wǒ zěn me bù néng qū shǐ fǎ zé zhī lì ， shèn zhì lián lǐng yù yì shī qù le xiào guǒ ？” tiān yuán hóu mǎn liǎn yīn mái zhī sè ， shéi de shí lì dà dǎ zhé kòu ， xīn zhōng zì rán dū huì bù gāo xìng de 。
“这些究竟是什么东西，还有在这个地方，我怎么不能驱使法则之力，甚至连领域亦失去了效果？”天元侯满脸阴霾之色，谁的实力大打折扣，心中自然都会不高兴的。
On another side,
“ gǔ xiē chóng ， bù guò shì xiān jiè yī zhǒng hěn xún cháng de dī jiē líng chóng ér yǐ ， zhì yú bù néng qū shǐ fǎ zé zhī lì ， lǐng yù yě shòu dào yā zhì ， shì yīn wèi zhè lǐ bú shì pǔ tōng de zhēn xiān dòng fǔ ， ér shì yǐ jīng jìn huà chéng le yī xiǎo xiān yù 。” cāng lǎo de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ lǐ 。
“骨蝎虫，不过是仙界一种很寻常的低阶灵虫而已，至于不能驱使法则之力，领域也受到压制，是因为这里不是普通的真仙洞府，而是已经进化成了一小仙域。”苍老的声音传入耳朵里。
A grayish trail of遁光pierced through the sky as Lin Xuan released his divine sense to search for Yue'er's whereabouts.
“ xiǎo xiān yù ， nà shì shén me dōng xī ， nǐ néng fǒu jiǎng dé míng bái yī xiē ？”
“小仙域，那是什么东西，你能否讲得明白一些？”
Although his detection range in this mysterious space was much reduced, it was better than nothing. At least it was more useful than relying on his eyes alone.
“ zhēn zhèng de xiān jiè ， miàn jī guǎng dà wú bǐ ， ér xiǎo xiān yù ， zé shì yī xiē shí lì qiáng dà de zhēn xiān ， mó fǎng xiān jiè huán jìng chuàng zào chū lái de dōng xī ， suī rán méi yǒu bàn fǎ yǔ xiān jiè xiāng bǐ ， dàn yě yǒu zhe lèi sì de guī zé ， chōng mǎn xiān líng qì ， suǒ yǐ xià jiè de rén ， zài zhè lǐ ， huì shòu dào fǎ zé shù fù ， yīn wèi tā men de shí lì wú fǎ dá dào zhēn xiān de chéng dù ， suǒ yǐ wú fǎ cān wù ， lǐng yù zì rán yě jiù shī zhǎn bù chū 。”
“真正的仙界，面积广大无比，而小仙域，则是一些实力强大的真仙，模仿仙界环境创造出来的东西，虽然没有办法与仙界相比，但也有着类似的规则，充满仙灵气，所以下界的人，在这里，会受到法则束缚，因为他们的实力无法达到真仙的程度，所以无法参悟，领域自然也就施展不出。”
"Hmm?"
“ zhè me shuō ， shì wú fǎ kě jiě le ？”
“这么说，是无法可解了？”
Lin Xuan suddenly halted his trail and saw a clear lake ahead.
“ chú fēi nǐ de shí lì dào dá zhēn xiān de dì bù ， fǒu zé ， kěn dìng shì huì shòu yā zhì de 。” nà cāng lǎo de shēng yīn zhǎn dīng jié tiě de shuō 。
“除非你的实力到达真仙的地步，否则，肯定是会受压制的。”那苍老的声音斩钉截铁的说。
Surrounded by lush green mountains, the lake shimmered with碧波粼粼, its beauty breathtaking. However, Lin Xuan didn't stop for the scenery; he had detected a faint fragrance.
tiān yuán hóu tīng le mò mò bù yǔ 。
天元侯听了默默不语。
It was the scent of a spirit herb!
“ nǐ yě bù yòng dān xīn ， nà huà yǔ zhēn rén yīng gāi zǎo yǐ yǔn luò ， bù guò zhè me duō nián guò qù ， zhè xiǎo xiān yù jì rán zì chéng yí gè shì jiè ， kěn dìng yě zī zhǎng chū wàn wù ， shēng huó zài zhè lǐ de yāo shòu ， zhí wù ， dōu yǔ líng jiè dà bù xiāng tóng ， wēi jī gù rán sì fú ， dàn duì nǐ ér yán ， shuō chéng shì yī dà jī yuán yě méi yǒu cuò 。” nà shén mì de zhēn xiān dà yǒu shēn yì de kāi kǒu le 。
“你也不用担心，那化羽真人应该早已陨落，不过这么多年过去，这小仙域既然自成一个世界，肯定也滋长出万物，生活在这里的妖兽，植物，都与灵界大不相同，危机固然四伏，但对你而言，说成是一大机缘也没有错。”那神秘的真仙大有深意的开口了。
Lin Xuan turned his head and immediately noticed several interesting treasures along the lakeshore—more accurately, plants.
tā huà zhōng de yán yǔ tiān yuán hóu zì rán xiǎo de ， yǎn shén bù yóu de yī zhèn huǒ rè ， huà wèi yī dào jīng hóng xiàng yuǎn chù fēi qù le 。
他话中的言语天元侯自然晓得，眼神不由得一阵火热，化为一道惊虹像远处飞去了。
Just beside the small lake lay a flat medicinal field where the scent originated. Lin Xuan's trail stopped as he flew over to it.
……
……
From above, this field seemed fine, but when he approached, "Whoosh" sounded in his ears. A white light barrier suddenly rose around the field, enveloping it completely.
yǔ cǐ tóng shí lìng yī biān 。
与此同时另一边。
"A protective禁制?"
yī dào huī méng méng de dùn guāng huà pò tiān jì 。
一道灰蒙蒙的遁光划破天际。
Lin Xuan muttered, unsurprised by the expression on his face; after all, he wouldn't leave a defenseless area near his medicinal garden either.
lín xuān jiāng shén shí fàng chū ， xún zhǎo zháo yuè ér de xiàn suǒ 。
林轩将神识放出，寻找着月儿的线索。
Could such a minor禁制stop him?
suī rán zài zhè shén mì de xiǎo kōng jiān lǐ ， tā shén shí de tàn cè jù lí ， yǐ dà bù rú xī ， dàn liáo shèng yú wú ， bù guǎn rú hé ， zǒng yào bǐ yòng yǎn jīng xún zhǎo yào hǎo yòng xǔ duō 。
虽然在这神秘的小空间里，他神识的探测距离，已大不如昔，但聊胜于无，不管如何，总要比用眼睛寻找要好用许多。
Lin Xuan raised his right hand, fingers curling as he reached out.
lín xuān tū rán dùn guāng yī liǎn ， jiù zài qián fāng bù yuǎn ， yī tán qīng chè de hú shuǐ yìng rù yǎn lián 。
林轩突然遁光一敛，就在前方不远，一潭清澈的湖水映入眼帘。
A sharp claw emerged and clashed with the white light barrier. Ripples spread across its surface but didn't break through.
sì zhōu qīng shān huán rào ， hú shuǐ bì bō lín lín ， hú guāng shān sè jiāo xiāng huī yìng ， hǎo yī pài měi bù shèng shōu de fēng jǐng 。
四周青山环绕，湖水碧波粼粼，湖光山色交相辉映，好一派美不胜收的风景。
"Interesting. This禁制isn't something casually created."
rán ér lín xuān dāng rán bú shì yīn wèi zhè ge jiāng dùn guāng tíng luò ， ér shì yóu yú tā wén dào yī gǔ qīng xiāng le 。
然而林轩当然不是因为这个将遁光停落，而是由于他闻到一股清香了。
Lin Xuan muttered to himself as he flicked his sleeves, preparing to summon his命宝. However, just then, "Sizzle" sounded again, and the small lake violently churned.
shì líng yào de xiāng qì ！
是灵药的香气！
How could this be?
lín xuān zhuǎn guò tóu lú ， lì kè zài hú biān fā xiàn le bù shǎo lìng tā gǎn xìng qù de bǎo wù 。
林轩转过头颅，立刻在湖边发现了不少令他感兴趣的宝物。
He had just used his divine sense to scan the area and found nothing amiss in the lake.
zhèng què de shuō shì zhí wù 。
正确的说是植物。
The sudden change left Lin Xuan speechless, and he stood there, stunned for a moment. (To be continued...)
Lin Xuan's lips curled into a sneer as he flicked his sleeves. A streak of green light shot out, shimmering and then transforming into a large hand made of translucent blue.
"Whoosh," the sound entered his ears, and it had already vanished from its original spot, leaving no trace behind.
In the next moment, it strangely appeared beside the golden beam, fingers spread wide. Countless tiny符文sprang forth from within.
