嗯，就是这种感觉没错，经历了刚才的变故，眼前的天元侯已与先前变得截然不同。
Yes, this is the feeling. After experiencing the recent events, the current Tianyuan Marquis before him was vastly different from his previous self.
tā hún shēn shàng xià míng míng méi yǒu yī sī yī háo de líng yā ， rán ér què mò míng qí miào de ràng rén jué de qiáng dà 。
他浑身上下明明没有一丝一毫的灵压，然而却莫名其妙的让人觉得强大。
He could sense no trace of spiritual pressure on his body, yet inexplicably felt overwhelmingly powerful.
pì nì tiān xià ！
睥睨天下！
He looked down upon all under heaven!
róng mào biàn huà bù duō ， dàn gěi rén de yìn xiàng shí fēn shēn kè ， chú le nián qīng xǔ duō ， liǎn jiá zhī shàng ， yì duō chū le jǐ dào gǔ guài de wén lù ， é tóu zhèng zhōng ， yǐn yǐn gèng yǒu jīn guāng xiǎn lù 。
容貌变化不多，但给人的印象十分深刻，除了年轻许多，脸颊之上，亦多出了几道古怪的纹路，额头正中，隐隐更有金光显露。
The changes in appearance were not significant, but they left a deep impression. He appeared much younger and had several strange patterns on his cheeks. A faint golden light also shone from the center of his forehead.
qí shēn fèn yǐ hū zhī yù chū 。
其身份已呼之欲出。
His identity was now clear.
zhēn xiān ！
真仙！
True Immortal!
yuán běn shì hǔ luò píng yáng ， lóng yóu qiǎn tān ， rán ér cǐ kè ， què zhōng yú bǎi tuō le wēi jī yǔ shù fù 。
原本是虎落平阳，龙游浅滩，然而此刻，却终于摆脱了危机与束缚。
Originally, he had been like a tiger falling into a plain and a dragon swimming in shallow waters. But at this moment, he finally escaped danger and constraints.
chéng gōng duó shě ， jiè yóu tiān yuán hóu de shēn qū fù huó 。
成功夺舍，借由天元侯的身躯复活。
He successfully possessed another body and revived through Tianyuan Marquis's form.
jù lí quán shèng zhuàng tài ， dāng rán yào xiāng chà xǔ duō ， dàn jīng lì le zhè me duō nián de kǔ chǔ ， rú jīn yě suàn shǒu dé yún kāi jiàn yuè lǎng ， shuō yì qì fēng fā yě méi yǒu cuò 。
距离全盛状态，当然要相差许多，但经历了这么多年的苦楚，如今也算守得云开见月朗，说意气风发也没有错。
While still far from his prime state, after enduring so many years of hardship, it was indeed a relief to see the clouds part and the moon shine through. He felt elated.
tā kàn le kàn zì jǐ de shǒu ， tū rán yáng qǐ tóu ， fā chū yī zhèn chàng kuài de kuáng xiào ：“ hā hā hā ， zhè me duō nián yī huǎng ér guò ， běn xiān zhōng yú chéng gōng fù huó ， ā xiū luó ， dāng nián nǐ shī jiā zài běn xiān shēn shàng de tòng kǔ ， wǒ yí dìng shí bèi bǎi bèi xiàng nǐ tǎo huí lái de 。”
他看了看自己的手，突然扬起头，发出一阵畅快的狂笑：“哈哈哈，这么多年一晃而过，本仙终于成功复活，阿修罗，当年你施加在本仙身上的痛苦，我一定十倍百倍像你讨回来的。”
He looked at his hands, then suddenly raised his head and let out a loud, exhilarating laugh: "Hahaha! So many years have passed in a blink. I finally succeeded in reviving myself. Asura, you inflicted so much pain on me back then; I will make sure to get tenfold or even hundredfold revenge."
“ hái yǒu nà xìng lín de xiǎo jiā huo ， cóng tā shēn shàng jìng rán xiù dào le yī sī ā xiū luó wáng de qì xī ， dāng nián jīng lì běi jí yuán guāng diàn yī yì ， cǐ nǚ yīng gāi bìng wèi yǔn luò ， ér shì tóu tāi zhuǎn shì qù le ， shì yì shí yí ， nán dào zhè me qiǎo ， nà lín xiǎo zi yǔ zhuǎn shì de ā xiū luó wáng yǒu shén me guān xì ？”
“还有那姓林的小家伙，从他身上竟然嗅到了一丝阿修罗王的气息，当年经历北极元光殿一役，此女应该并未陨落，而是投胎转世去了，事易时移，难道这么巧，那林小子与转世的阿修罗王有什么关系？”
"And that young Lin fellow, I actually detected an Asura King's aura from him. After the battle at the North Pole Elemental Light Palace, this woman should not have perished but reincarnated instead. Times change and circumstances shift—could it be so coincidental that this Lin boy has a connection with the reborn Asura King?"
“ hēi hēi ， zhè dǎo shì yǒu qù ， bù guǎn shì yǔ bú shì ， nà lín xiǎo zi shēn shàng de bǎo wù pǒ wèi bù sú ， xiān tiān líng bǎo jiù yǒu shù jiàn zhī duō ， rú jīn běn xiān zhèng hǎo méi yǒu chèn shǒu de bǎo wù ， jiāng nǐ zhuō zhù chōu hún liàn pò ， jì kě duó bǎo ， yì néng jiě huò ， dào kě yǐ suàn shì yī jǔ liǎng dé 。”
“嘿嘿，这倒是有趣，不管是与不是，那林小子身上的宝物颇为不俗，先天灵宝就有数件之多，如今本仙正好没有趁手的宝物，将你捉住抽魂炼魄，既可夺宝，亦能解惑，倒可以算是一举两得。”
"Hmm, interesting. Whether or not there is such a connection, the treasures on that young Lin fellow are quite impressive. He possesses several先天灵宝. Since I don't have any suitable treasure at hand, capturing him and draining his soul would allow me to both seize his treasures and solve this mystery—a win-win situation."
tiān yuán hóu shuō dào zhè lǐ ， liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī lì sè ， suí hòu yòu yǐ shǒu fǔ é ：“ bù guò nà xìng lín de xiǎo jiā huo ， shí lì yě pǒ wèi bù sú ， zhè jù shēn tǐ bǐ zhī běn xiān yuán běn de fǎ tǐ xiāng chà tài duō ， qì xuè yě kuī sǔn yán zhòng ， néng gòu shī zhǎn chū lái de xiān shù ， kǒng pà liáo liáo wú jǐ 。”
天元侯说到这里，脸上露出一丝厉色，随后又以手抚额：“不过那姓林的小家伙，实力也颇为不俗，这具身体比之本仙原本的法体相差太多，气血也亏损严重，能够施展出来的仙术，恐怕寥寥无几。”
Tianyuan Marquis then revealed a stern expression before rubbing his forehead: "However, that young Lin fellow is no slouch either. This body falls far short of my original cultivation form, with severely depleted vital energy. The number of Immortal Arts I can currently perform is limited."
“ méi yǒu guān xì ， dà bù liǎo běn xiān dǎ zuò xiū yǎng shēng xī ， jiù ràng nǐ zài xiāo yáo yī xiē shí rì ……”
“没有关系，大不了本仙打坐修养生息，就让你再逍遥一些时日……”
"It doesn't matter. I will just sit and cultivate to regain my strength… for now…"
tiān yuán hóu shuō dào zhè lǐ ， xiù páo yī fú ， yī dào kōng jiān liè fèng fú xiàn ér chū ， xiǎo xiān yù lǐ ， lín xuān wú fǎ qū shǐ tiān dì fǎ zé ， rán ér zhè ge chè zhǒu duì tā lái shuō ， què shì bù cún zài de 。
天元侯说到这里，袖袍一拂，一道空间裂缝浮现而出，小仙域里，林轩无法驱使天地法则，然而这个掣肘对他来说，却是不存在的。
With this, Tianyuan Marquis waved his sleeves, creating a spatial rift. Within the small仙域, Lin Xuan could not manipulate the laws of nature, but such constraints were non-existent for him.
suí hòu tā shēn xíng yī shǎn ， biàn mò rù nà liè fèng bú jiàn 。
随后他身形一闪，便没入那裂缝不见。
He then flashed away, disappearing into the rift.
ér zhè yī qiè ， lín xuān bìng bù xiǎo de 。
而这一切，林轩并不晓得。
Lin Xuan was unaware of all that had transpired.
duì yú qiáng dí zuì hòu yí kè cóng zì jǐ yǎn qián táo tuō ， lín xuān xīn zhōng ， hái shì pǒ wèi ào nǎo de 。
对于强敌最后一刻从自己眼前逃脱，林轩心中，还是颇为懊恼的。
He was still quite vexed by the powerful enemy who managed to escape at the last moment.
rán ér tā shí lì suī rán bù sú ， què fēi wèi bǔ xiān zhī de xián zhě ， nǎ lǐ zhī dào tiān yuán hóu shēn shàng hái yǒu nà me duō de qū zhé 。
然而他实力虽然不俗，却非未卜先知的贤者，哪里知道天元侯身上还有那么多的曲折。
Though his strength was considerable, he was not a seer. He did not know about the many twists and turns in Tianyuan Marquis's life.
lín xuān cāi dào tā huò dé zhēn xiān chuán chéng le 。
林轩猜到他获得真仙传承了。
Lin Xuan guessed that he had obtained the True Immortal inheritance.
rán ér què wàn wàn xiǎng bú dào ， yī zhuǎn yǎn ， tiān yuán hóu jiù zuò jiǎn zì fù ， bèi zhēn xiān duó shě 。
然而却万万想不到，一转眼，天元侯就作茧自缚，被真仙夺舍。
However, he never imagined that Tianyuan Marquis would soon be trapped by a True Immortal, who took over his body.
ér zhè duì tā ér yán ， kě jué bú shì shén me hǎo xiāo xī ， zhè ge biàn gù yì wèi zhe ， lín xuān jiāng duō chū yí gè ， yuǎn bǐ tiān yuán hóu gèng kě pà de qiáng dí 。
而这对他而言，可绝不是什么好消息，这个变故意味着，林轩将多出一个，远比天元侯更可怕的强敌。
This was certainly bad news for Lin Xuan. This change meant that he would face an even more formidable enemy than Tianyuan Marquis.
kě xī lín xuān bù néng wèi bǔ xiān zhī ， cǐ shí tā yǐ zhèng huà wèi yī dào jīng hóng ， yuán lù fēi le huí qù 。
可惜林轩不能未卜先知，此时他已正化为一道惊虹，原路飞了回去。
Unfortunately, Lin Xuan could not predict the future. He had already transformed into a streak of lightning and returned along the same path.
lín xuān zhǔn bèi huí dào xiān pū de jù jū zhī suǒ 。
林轩准备回到仙仆的聚居之所。
Lin Xuan planned to return to the gathering place of the Immortal Servants.
yuán běn liǎng rén shì zài nà lǐ dòng shǒu de 。
原本两人是在那里动手的。
They had originally fought there.
rán ér dǎ zhe dǎ zhe ， què qù le yuǎn chù ， rú jīn lín xuān jiù shì yuán lù fǎn huí 。
然而打着打着，却去了远处，如今林轩就是原路返回。
But as they battled, they moved far away. Now he was returning by the same route.
zhè méi yǒu shén me hǎo miáo shù ， yǐ lín xuān de shén xíng dùn shù ， zì rán shì zhuǎn shùn jiān jiù dào le 。
这没有什么好描述，以林轩的神行遁术，自然是转瞬间就到了。
There was nothing to describe; with his divine swift movement technique, it took him but an instant to arrive.
yī zuò xiān chéng yìng rù yǎn lián 。
一座仙城映入眼帘。
A city appeared before his eyes.
dāng rán ， yǔ lín xuān céng jīng jiàn guò de xiān chéng xiāng bǐ ， bìng bù qǐ yǎn ， zhàn dì bù guò shù qiān mǔ ， yě gēn běn shuō bù shàng gāo dà wēi é 。
当然，与林轩曾经见过的仙城相比，并不起眼，占地不过数千亩，也根本说不上高大巍峨。
Compared to the cities Lin Xuan had seen before, this one was unremarkable, covering only a few thousand acres and not towering or majestic at all.
ér zài xiān chéng wài miàn ， yǐng yǐng chuò chuò ， kě yǐ kàn jiàn hěn duō rén lèi de xiū xiān zhě ， bú yòng shuō ， zhè xiē jiù shì bèi nà wèi huà yǔ zhēn rén yí jū dào zhè lǐ de fán rén le 。
而在仙城外面，影影绰绰，可以看见很多人类的修仙者，不用说，这些就是被那位化羽真人移居到这里的凡人了。
Outside the city, many human cultivators could be vaguely seen. These were ordinary people who had been relocated here by the Feathersworn True Immortal.
zài xiǎo xiān yù de yǐng xiǎng xià shēng chū líng gēn ， zǒu shàng xiū xiān zhī lù ， rú jīn chēng wéi xiān pū 。
在小仙域的影响下生出灵根，走上修仙之路，如今称为仙仆。
Influenced by the small仙域, they developed spiritual roots and embarked on their cultivation paths, now known as Immortal Servants.
jiàn lín xuān huí dào cǐ chù ， zhè xiē rén de liǎn shàng dà duō lù chū jì jǐn zhāng ， yòu xīng fèn de shén sè ， hái yǒu nà me yī xiē tǎn tè 。
见林轩回到此处，这些人的脸上大多露出既紧张，又兴奋的神色，还有那么一些忐忑。
Upon seeing Lin Xuan's return, most of them showed a mix of tension and excitement, along with some nervousness.
“ duō xiè shàng xiān yuán shǒu dà dé ， bù zhī qián bèi shì nǎ wèi gāo rén ， qǐng jiào zūn xìng dà míng ， wǎn bèi quán zú jiē gǎn jī bù jìn 。” yī míng ǎi pàng lǎo zhě yuè zhòng ér chū ， chōng zhe lín xuān dà lǐ bài fú 。
“多谢上仙援手大德，不知前辈是哪位高人，请教尊姓大名，晚辈全族皆感激不尽。”一名矮胖老者越众而出，冲着林轩大礼拜伏。
"Thank you for your great assistance, High Sage. Please tell me if you are willing to share your name. We would be eternally grateful." A short, plump elder stepped forward, bowing deeply before Lin Xuan.
qí shí lì pǒ wèi bù sú ， nǎi shì yī míng dù jié chū qī de xiū xiān zhě 。
其实力颇为不俗，乃是一名渡劫初期的修仙者。
He was quite formidable, a cultivator at the early stage of tribulation transmutation.
zhì yú qí tā de xiān pū ， yě tóng yàng bài fú zài dì ， nà jiào mù qīng de nǚ zǐ yǐ jīng shuō guò ， lín xuān nǎi shì yī míng huò zhēn jià shí de xiān rén 。
至于其他的仙仆，也同样拜伏在地，那叫穆青的女子已经说过，林轩乃是一名货真价实的仙人。
The other Immortal Servants also bowed respectfully. Mu Qing had already mentioned that Lin Xuan was indeed an actual True Immortal who had just helped them.
gāng cái yòu céng chū shǒu xiàng zhù ， zhè xiē xiān pū gǎn jī zhī yú ， duì yú lín xuān zì rán shì jìng wèi wú bǐ 。
刚才又曾出手相助，这些仙仆感激之余，对于林轩自然是敬畏无比。
"Lin's name is not necessary for you to know. I came here to inquire about some information," Lin Xuan said, continuing his pretense as a True Immortal.
“ lín mǒu de dà míng ， nǐ men bù bì xiǎo de ， běn xiān lái dào cǐ chù ， shì wèi le xiǎng nǐ men dǎ tīng yī xiē xiāo xī de 。”
“林某的大名，你们不必晓得，本仙来到此处，是为了想你们打听一些消息的。”
"Yes, High Sage, what would you like to ask? We have nothing to hide; we will speak freely and honestly." The short, plump elder's voice was extremely respectful.
shì yǐ zhì cǐ ， lín xuān dāng rán yě bù hǎo jiāng gāng cái de huǎng yán jiē pò ， zhǐ néng shì jì xù zì chēng xiān rén le 。
事已至此，林轩当然也不好将刚才的谎言揭破，只能是继续自称仙人了。
"Very well."
“ shì ， shàng xiān xiǎng yào dǎ tīng shén me ， wǎn bèi děng méi yǒu yǐn mán yī shuō ， yí dìng zhī wú bù yán ， yán wú bù jìn ， zhǐ shì zhè lǐ fēi shuō huà zhī dì ， shàng xiān ruò shì bù qì ， hái qǐng jìn dào chéng lǐ 。” nà ǎi pàng lǎo zhě de shēng yīn gōng jìng yǐ jí 。
“是，上仙想要打听什么，晚辈等没有隐瞒一说，一定知无不言，言无不尽，只是这里非说话之地，上仙若是不弃，还请进到城里。”那矮胖老者的声音恭敬以极。
Lin Xuan nodded after a moment of thought. He wanted to know about Mo'er and Xiao Die but understood that rushing things wouldn't help. It was better to take his time and enter the city for a chat.
“ yě hǎo 。”
“也好。”
"High Sage, please!"
lín xuān lüè yī chén yín ， biàn diǎn tóu dā yìng ， tā suī rán xiǎng yào zhī dào yuè ér yǔ xiǎo dié de xiàn suǒ ， dàn yě míng bái ， xīn jí chī bù liǎo rè dòu fǔ ， zài jí yě bù chà zhè yī kè ， jìn chéng zuò zuò yě shì hǎo de 。
林轩略一沉吟，便点头答应，他虽然想要知道月儿与小蝶的线索，但也明白，心急吃不了热豆腐，再急也不差这一刻，进城坐坐也是好的。
The short, plump elder led the way himself. Lin Xuan nodded and followed without hesitation.
“ shàng xiān qǐng ！”
“上仙请！”
They soon entered the city where the prohibitive barriers had been removed.
nà ǎi pàng lǎo zhě qīn zì zài qián miàn yǐn lù ， lín xuān diǎn diǎn tóu ， háo bù yóu yù de gēn zài hòu miàn le 。
那矮胖老者亲自在前面引路，林轩点点头，毫不犹豫的跟在后面了。
The buildings were densely packed but had a different style from what he was used to, exuding an ancient and primitive atmosphere.
hěn kuài biàn jìn rù chéng lǐ ， shǒu hù jìn zhì yǐ jīng chè qù 。
很快便进入城里，守护禁制已经撤去。
People in the city occasionally looked around, clearly curious about his presence.
chéng zhōng de jiàn zhù lín cì zhì bǐ ， fēng gé què yǔ zì jǐ yǐ qián jiàn guò de jiǒng yì ， chōng mǎn le hóng huāng gǔ piáo de qì xī 。
城中的建筑鳞次栉比，风格却与自己以前见过的迥异，充满了洪荒古朴的气息。
As Immortal Servants, they lived in this small仙域 all their lives. However, true True Immortals were something they had never seen; only old legends passed down through generations. Lin Xuan's appearance as a High Sage naturally piqued everyone's curiosity.
jiàn zhù zhōng ， bù shí yǒu rén zhāng wàng ， xiǎn rán dōu duì lín xuān de chū xiàn yǒu xiē hào qí 。
建筑中，不时有人张望，显然都对林轩的出现有些好奇。
Lin Xuan understood all of this but did not say much. After all, people's curiosity was natural, and these cultivators merely peeked without offending him.
zuò wèi xiān pū ， tā men shì jū yú xiǎo xiān yù ， rán ér zhēn zhèng de xiān rén qí shí què cóng wèi jiàn guò ， zhǐ yǒu gǔ lǎo xiāng chuán de chuán shuō ， cǐ shí lín xuān chū xiàn ， yòu zì jū shàng xiān ， yú qíng yú lǐ ， tā men dāng rán huì hào qí dào jí chù 。
做为仙仆，他们世居于小仙域，然而真正的仙人其实却从未见过，只有古老相传的传说，此时林轩出现，又自居上仙，于情于理，他们当然会好奇到极处。
After about half an hour, they arrived at a pavilion suspended in mid-air. The structure had an ancient appearance with some floating mountains and trees around it, shrouded in mist, making it seem like a true fairyland.
zhè yī qiè ， lín xuān zì rán yě kàn de qīng chǔ ， dàn yú qíng yú lǐ ， dāng rán yě bù hǎo duō shuō ， hào qí xīn rén jiē yǒu zhī ， nà xiē xiū shì yě zhǐ shì tōu tōu kàn kàn ér yǐ ， bìng méi yǒu mào fàn zì jǐ 。
这一切，林轩自然也看得清楚，但于情于理，当然也不好多说，好奇心人皆有之，那些修士也只是偷偷看看而已，并没有冒犯自己。
"High Sage, please."
dà yuē yī zhǎn chá de gōng fu yǐ hòu ， tā men lái dào le yī chù lóu gé 。
大约一盏茶的功夫以后，他们来到了一处楼阁。
The elder bowed to welcome them. Lin Xuan did not refuse and entered the pavilion where several beautiful maidservants emerged, carrying wine and fruits.
cǐ jiàn zhù shì xuán fú zài bàn kōng zhī zhōng de ， zào xíng gǔ piáo ， zhōu wéi hái xuán fú zhe yī xiē jiǎ shān shù mù ， bàn suí zhe yīn yūn de wù qì ， jiù yǔ zhì shēn zhēn zhèng de xiān jìng xiāng chà fǎng fú 。
此建筑是悬浮在半空之中的，造型古朴，周围还悬浮着一些假山树木，伴随着氤氲的雾气，就与置身真正的仙境相差仿佛。
"Please have a drink. I don't have much here for guests, but this homemade spiritual wine is quite good; please taste it," the short, plump elder said with a pleasant smile.
“ shàng xiān ， qǐng 。”
“上仙，请。”
Lin Xuan smiled and accepted, taking a sip from his cup. The flavor was excellent: "Hmm, indeed delicious."
lǎo zhě gōng shēn yíng kè ， lín xuān yě bù tuī cí ， jìn le gé lóu yǐ hòu ， zhí jiē shàng zuò ， jǐ wèi měi mào shì nǚ yú guàn ér chū ， shǒu lǐ pěng zhe měi jiǔ guā guǒ 。
老者躬身迎客，林轩也不推辞，进了阁楼以后，直接上座，几位美貌侍女鱼贯而出，手里捧着美酒瓜果。
"Hahaha, glad you like it."
“ shàng xiān qǐng hē ， wǎn bèi zhè lǐ méi yǒu shén me dōng xī dài kè ， wéi yǒu zhè zì niàng de líng jiǔ pǒ wèi bù sú ， hái qǐng nín pǐn cháng yī èr de 。” nà ǎi pàng lǎo zhě yǒu xiē tǎo hǎo de kāi kǒu le 。
“上仙请喝，晚辈这里没有什么东西待客，唯有这自酿的灵酒颇为不俗，还请您品尝一二的。”那矮胖老者有些讨好的开口了。
"Please be at ease and sit down." Lin Xuan was not an arrogant person and did not want to take the lead.
lín xuān xiào le xiào ， yì bù tuī cí ， jiāng jiǔ bēi duān qǐ ， qīng qīng mǐn le yī kǒu ， dùn shí mǎn kǒu shēng jīn ， wèi dào jí wéi bù sú ：“ ń ， guǒ rán hǎo hē 。”
林轩笑了笑，亦不推辞，将酒杯端起，轻轻抿了一口，顿时满口生津，味道极为不俗：“嗯，果然好喝。”
"Thank you, High Sage."
“ hē hē ， shàng xiān xǐ huān jiù hǎo le 。”
“呵呵，上仙喜欢就好了。”
The elder bowed again.
Yes, this is the feeling. After experiencing the recent events, the current Tianyuan Marquis before him was vastly different from his previous self.
He could sense no trace of spiritual pressure on his body, yet inexplicably felt overwhelmingly powerful.
He looked down upon all under heaven!
The changes in appearance were not significant, but they left a deep impression. He appeared much younger and had several strange patterns on his cheeks. A faint golden light also shone from the center of his forehead.
His identity was now clear.
True Immortal!
Originally, he had been like a tiger falling into a plain and a dragon swimming in shallow waters. But at this moment, he finally escaped danger and constraints.
He successfully possessed another body and revived through Tianyuan Marquis's form.
While still far from his prime state, after enduring so many years of hardship, it was indeed a relief to see the clouds part and the moon shine through. He felt elated.
He looked at his hands, then suddenly raised his head and let out a loud, exhilarating laugh: "Hahaha! So many years have passed in a blink. I finally succeeded in reviving myself. Asura, you inflicted so much pain on me back then; I will make sure to get tenfold or even hundredfold revenge."
"And that young Lin fellow, I actually detected an Asura King's aura from him. After the battle at the North Pole Elemental Light Palace, this woman should not have perished but reincarnated instead. Times change and circumstances shift—could it be so coincidental that this Lin boy has a connection with the reborn Asura King?"
"Hmm, interesting. Whether or not there is such a connection, the treasures on that young Lin fellow are quite impressive. He possesses several先天灵宝.

"It doesn't matter. I will just sit and cultivate to regain my strength… for now…"
With this, Tianyuan Marquis waved his sleeves, creating a spatial rift. Within the small仙域, Lin Xuan could not manipulate the laws of nature, but such constraints were non-existent for him.
He then flashed away, disappearing into the rift.

He was still quite vexed by the powerful enemy who managed to escape at the last moment.
Though his strength was considerable, he was not a seer. He did not know about the many twists and turns in Tianyuan Marquis's life.

As Immortal Servants, they lived in this small仙域 all their lives. However, true True Immortals were something they had never seen; only old legends passed down through generations. Lin Xuan's appearance as a High Sage naturally piqued everyone's curiosity.
Lin Xuan understood all of this but did not say much. After all, people's curiosity was natural, and these cultivators merely peeked without offending him.
After about half an hour, they arrived at a pavilion suspended in mid-air. The structure had an ancient appearance with some floating mountains and trees around it, shrouded in mist, making it seem like a true fairyland.
"High Sage, please."
The elder bowed to welcome them. Lin Xuan did not refuse and entered the pavilion where several beautiful maidservants emerged, carrying wine and fruits.
"Please have a drink. I don't have much here for guests, but this homemade spiritual wine is quite good; please taste it," the short, plump elder said with a pleasant smile.
Lin Xuan smiled and accepted, taking a sip from his cup. The flavor was excellent: "Hmm, indeed delicious."
"Hahaha, glad you like it."
"Please be at ease and sit down." Lin Xuan was not an arrogant person and did not want to take the lead.
"Thank you, High Sage."
The elder bowed again.
