tiān cì liáng jī ！
天赐良机！
A Heavenly Gift!
yī rú zì jǐ de suàn jì 。
一如自己的算计。
Just as he had planned.
lín xuān xīn zhōng dà xǐ ， zhè me hǎo de jī huì dāng rán bú huì fàng qì 。
林轩心中大喜，这么好的机会当然不会放弃。
Lin Xuan's heart leaped with joy. Such a good opportunity was not to be missed.
yī shēng dà hē ， hún shēn qīng máng zhòu qǐ ， bàn suí zhe wǔ yán liù sè de diàn hú ， jīn yín èr sè de fú wén piāo sàn ér chū 。
一声大喝，浑身青芒骤起，伴随着五颜六色的电弧，金银二色的符文飘散而出。
With a loud shout, a bluish-green glow enveloped his body. Accompanied by colorful electric arcs and golden-silver colored talismans floating out.
suí hòu tā de shēn tǐ biǎo miàn yòu téng shēng qǐ xióng xióng rán shāo de liè huǒ ， jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn de wēi néng yǐ bèi tā qū cè dào wú yǐ fù jiā de dì bù 。
随后他的身体表面又腾升起熊熊燃烧的烈火，九宫须臾剑的威能已被他驱策到无以复加的地步。
His body then erupted in blazing flames, the power of the Nine Palace Musty Sword had been fully unleashed at this moment.
zài zhè yī kè ， lín xuān sī háo bǎo liú yě wú ， zài shù zhǒng dà shén tōng de zuò yòng xià ， zhēn xiān suǒ bù xià de jìn zhì ， nà yě shì yǒu jí xiàn de 。
在这一刻，林轩丝毫保留也无，在数种大神通的作用下，真仙所布下的禁制，那也是有极限的。
At this instant, Lin Xuan made no further reservations. Under the influence of several great divine techniques, the restrictions set by a True Immortal were bound to have their limits.
bèi yī chēng ér pò 。
被一撑而破。
They were shattered with one push.
zhè yàng de jié guǒ ， dào yǒu diǎn chū hū lín xuān de yù jì ， dàn suí jí xīn zhōng dà xǐ ， rén jiàn hé yī ， huà wèi yī lǚ cuǐ càn de yín máng cháo zhe tiān kōng fēi lüè ér qù 。
这样的结果，倒有点出乎林轩的预计，但随即心中大喜，人剑合一，化为一缕璀璨的银芒朝着天空飞掠而去。
The result was somewhat unexpected for Lin Xuan but he quickly rejoiced. Merging his body and sword into one, he transformed into a dazzling silver light that shot towards the sky.
rú liú xīng xù yǔ ， shì yín hé zhuì dì 。
如流星絮羽，似银河坠地。
Like a shooting star, like falling stars from the Milky Way.
zhuǎn shùn jiān ， zhěng gè tiān kōng dōu bèi rǎn chéng le cuǐ càn de yín sè 。
转瞬间，整个天空都被染成了璀璨的银色。
In an instant, the entire sky turned a brilliant silvery color.
yǐn yǐn hái yǒu sī sī fǎ zé zhī lì fú xiàn ér chū 。
隐隐还有丝丝法则之力浮现而出。
Subtle traces of法则 power began to emerge.
yǐ qiǎo pò zhuō 。
以巧破拙。
With cleverness overcoming clumsiness.
yī shí piàn kè ， lín xuān suī rán wú fǎ lǐng wù xiǎo xiān yù de tiān dì fǎ zé ， dàn dāng lì liàng dá dào yí dìng chéng dù ， què yě kě yǐ jiāng cǐ jìn gù chōng pò 。
一时片刻，林轩虽然无法领悟小仙域的天地法则，但当力量达到一定程度，却也可以将此禁锢冲破。
Though Lin Xuan couldn't fully grasp the laws of this Lesser Immortal Realm in that moment, when his strength reached a certain level, he could break through these restraints.
shí pò tiān jīng de yī jī ， biàn shì zhēn xiān zài zhè lǐ ， kǒng pà yě yào zàn bì ， qū qū yī jù kuǐ lěi ， suī rán shí fēn liǎo de ， dàn xiǎng yào dǎng zhù ， yě yǒu xiē wéi nán tā tài guò 。
石破天惊的一击，便是真仙在这里，恐怕也要暂避，区区一具傀儡，虽然十分了得，但想要挡住，也有些为难它太过。
A thunderous strike. Even if a True Immortal were here, they would have to temporarily retreat. This puppet, though formidable, was still difficult to block completely.
fèn nù de páo xiāo chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà jù yuán zhuǎn shùn jiān huà wèi le sān tóu liù bì zhī wù 。
愤怒的咆哮传入耳朵，那巨猿转瞬间化为了三头六臂之物。
Rumbling roars filled the air as the giant ape transformed into one with three heads and six arms.
shǒu bì kuáng wǔ ， bàn suí zhe hēi sè de wén zhèn ， tiān kōng zhōng yǒng qǐ liǎo wú shù de quán yǐng 。
手臂狂舞，伴随着黑色的纹阵，天空中涌起了无数的拳影。
Its arms swung wildly, accompanied by black纹阵, countless fist shadows appeared in the sky.
xū kōng bèi hōng pò 。
虚空被轰破。
The void was shattered.
měi yī quán dōu yǒu pò suì xū kōng de xiào guǒ 。
每一拳都有破碎虚空的效果。
Each punch had the effect of breaking through the void.
jǐn jiē zhe ， yín guāng hēi máng ， hěn hěn de zhèng miàn xiāng zhuàng ， rán ér què wú shēng wú xī 。
紧接着，银光黑芒，狠狠的正面相撞，然而却无声无息。
Following this, silver light and dark rays clashed head-on. Yet there was no sound or echo.
tiān dì zài zhè yī kè wèi zhī chén jì 。
天地在这一刻为之沉寂。
The world fell silent at that moment.
suí hòu qīng huī sǎ luò ， rú chū shēng de zhāo yáng ， suǒ yǒu hēi sè de quán yǐng ， zài nà yī kè rú bīng xuě bèi tóu rù huǒ lú ， qǐng kè jiān bīng xiāo wǎ jiě le 。
随后清辉洒落，如初升的朝阳，所有黑色的拳影，在那一刻如冰雪被投入火炉，顷刻间冰消瓦解了。
Then a clear glow descended like the rising sun. All the black fist shadows instantly melted away as if thrown into a furnace, vanishing in an instant.
yín huī diǎn diǎn 。 zài tiān kōng zhōng màn yán ， nà jù yuán kuǐ lěi ， gèng shì bèi bāo guǒ zài le qí jiān 。
银辉点点。在天空中蔓延，那巨猿傀儡，更是被包裹在了其间。
Silver light spread across the sky, enveloping the giant ape puppet.
shēng yīn xiāo shī ， shí jiān chén jì 。
声音消失，时间沉寂。
...
zhè zhuǎn shùn jiān ， fǎng fú biàn shì wàn nián ， suí hòu lín xuān de shēn yǐng zài bàn kōng zhōng xiǎn xiàn 。
这转瞬间，仿佛便是万年，随后林轩的身影在半空中显现。
Silence reigned for a while.
liǎn shàng què xiàn chū ào nǎo zhī sè ， zǎo zhī dào shén tōng jǐn chū ， néng jiāng zhè gǔ guài de jìn zhì chēng pò ， yī lù shàng ， zì jǐ yě bù yòng huā fèi zhè me duō xīn sī gōng fu 。
脸上却现出懊恼之色，早知道神通尽出，能将这古怪的禁制撑破，一路上，自己也不用花费这么多心思功夫。
It felt like millennia had passed before Lin Xuan's figure appeared mid-air.
suí hòu tā huí guò tóu lú 。 nà jù yuán kuǐ lěi zài zì jǐ shēn hòu bǎi yú zhàng yuǎn chù 。
随后他回过头颅。那巨猿傀儡在自己身后百余丈远处。
His face showed signs of frustration. If he had known that all his divine techniques could break through this strange restriction, he wouldn't have spent so much effort on his journey.
nù mù yuán zhēng 。
怒目圆睁。
He turned around. The giant ape puppet was more than a hundred feet behind him.
páo xiāo de dòng zuò yī jiù huó líng huó xiàn de 。
咆哮的动作依旧活灵活现的。
Its eyes glared fiercely.
rán ér zǐ xì kàn ， biǎo qíng què yǐ níng gù 。
然而仔细看，表情却已凝固。
The roaring action was still vividly lifelike.
kě tā hún shēn shàng xià ， què yī sī shāng hén yě wú 。
可它浑身上下，却一丝伤痕也无。
However, upon closer inspection, its expressions were frozen.
wū ……
呜……
Yet it showed no signs of injury.
yī zhèn shān fēng chuī guò 。
一阵山风吹过。
Woo...
bù kě sī yì de yí mù fā shēng le ， jù yuán de shēn tǐ biǎo miàn ， xīng xīng diǎn diǎn ， fēng huà chéng shā ， bù guò piàn kè de gōng fu ， páng dà de shēn qū jiù huà wèi le xū wú 。
不可思议的一幕发生了，巨猿的身体表面，星星点点，风化成沙，不过片刻的功夫，庞大的身躯就化为了虚无。
A mountain breeze blew by.
suí hòu “ hōng ” de yī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， fāng yuán shù lǐ 。 huā cǎo shù mù ， shān shí jué bì ， yì zài yī shēng jù xiǎng zhōng bēng tā zhuì luò ， suí hòu huà wèi jī fěn diào le 。
随后“轰”的一声传入耳朵，方圆数里。花草树木，山石绝壁，亦在一声巨响中崩塌坠落，随后化为齑粉掉了。
An unbelievable scene unfolded as the surface of the giant ape puppet began to crumble into sand. In just a few moments, the massive figure disintegrated completely.
mǎn mù chuāng yí 。 fàng yǎn wàng qù ， zhè fù jìn yǐ yí wèi le yī piàn píng dì 。
满目疮痍。放眼望去，这附近已夷为了一片平地。
Then a loud "Boom" echoed in his ears. Within several miles, flowers, trees, mountains, and cliffs collapsed and shattered, turning to dust.
yào zhī dào ， lín xuān gāng cái nà yī jiàn ， kě shì zhí cì cāng qióng 。 jǐn jǐn shì yú bō suǒ jí ， què yǒu zhè me jīng rén de wēi lì 。
要知道，林轩刚才那一剑，可是直刺苍穹。仅仅是余波所及，却有这么惊人的威力。
The landscape was ravaged. Looking around, this area had been reduced to a plain.
shuō hài rén tīng wén ， yě bù wèi guò 。
说骇人听闻，也不为过。
After all, Lin Xuan's sword strike had pierced the heavens. The residual effects alone were astonishingly powerful.
lín xuān sōng le kǒu qì 。 jiāng jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn shōu qǐ ， suí hòu tái qǐ tóu lú ， cháo zhe qián fāng wàng qù 。
林轩松了口气。将九宫须臾剑收起，随后抬起头颅，朝着前方望去。
It could be said that it was truly shocking.
yuán běn de cán yuán duàn bì ， yǐ zài gāng cái de dòu fǎ zhōng ， bèi yí wéi píng dì ， bù shǎo suì shí wǎ lì ， gèng shì zhí jiē huà wèi jī fěn le 。
原本的残垣断壁，已在刚才的斗法中，被夷为平地，不少碎石瓦砾，更是直接化为齑粉了。
Lin Xuan heaved a sigh of relief as he put away the Nine Palace Musty Sword. Then, raising his head, he looked ahead.
kàn shàng qù mǎn mù chuāng yí ， fǎng fú bú huì cán liú yǒu shén me dōng xī 。
看上去满目疮痍，仿佛不会残留有什么东西。
The ruins and broken walls from earlier had been completely flattened in the battle. Many stones and debris had turned to dust.
rán ér lín xuān què bìng méi yǒu fàng qì ， mài bù zǒu le guò qù 。
然而林轩却并没有放弃，迈步走了过去。
The scene appeared desolate, seemingly leaving nothing behind.
……
……
But Lin Xuan didn't give up. He stepped forward.
xiǎo xiān yù zhōng de nà jiān shén mì shí shì 。
小仙域中的那间神秘石室。
At the same time.
hēi sè de cán jiǎn yī jiù xuán fú zài bàn kōng zhī zhōng ， wǎn kǒu cū de tiě liàn ， jiāng tā kǔn le yí gè jié shí ， ér zài cán jiǎn de sì zhōu ， hái píng kōng xuán fú zhe wǔ jiàn bǎo wù ， fēn bié shuō gǔ dǐng ， zǐ jìng ， tóng lú ， yù rú yì hé yín zhōng 。
黑色的蚕茧依旧悬浮在半空之中，碗口粗的铁链，将它捆了一个结识，而在蚕茧的四周，还凭空悬浮着五件宝物，分别说古鼎，紫镜，铜炉，玉如意和银钟。
In the mysterious stone room of the Lesser Immortal Realm.
wǔ jiàn xiān tiān líng bǎo ， pèi hé shù yǐ bǎi jì de jìn zhì fú lù ， jiāng tā céng céng fēng yìn bāo guǒ ， yī qiè dōu yǒu rú cóng qián 。
五件先天灵宝，配合数以百计的禁制符箓，将它层层封印包裹，一切都有如从前。
The black cocoon still hovered mid-air, bound by a thick iron chain. Around it, five treasures floated in the air: an ancient tripod, a purple mirror, a copper stove, a jade如意and a silver bell.
dàn zǐ xì kàn ， qí shí què bìng bù xiāng tóng ， nà tiě liàn de biǎo miàn ， bù zhī hé shí ， yǒu wú shù xì mì de liè wén chū xiàn 。
但仔细看，其实却并不相同，那铁链的表面，不知何时，有无数细密的裂纹出现。
Five先天灵宝, along with hundreds of restrictions and talismans, sealed it tightly as before.
hái zài bù tíng de màn yán 。
还在不停的蔓延。
But upon closer inspection, something was different. Fine cracks appeared on the surface of the iron chain, spreading further.
fǎng fú cán jiǎn zhōng de dōng xī ， yào zhèng tuō shù fù yì bān 。
仿佛蚕茧中的东西，要挣脱束缚一般。
It seemed like whatever was inside the cocoon was trying to break free.
jiù zài zhè shí ， yī shēng tàn xī chuán lái ， suí hòu yī màn miào de shēn yǐng ， huǎn bù zǒu jìn le shí shì lǐ miàn 。
就在这时，一声叹息传来，随后一曼妙的身影，缓步走进了石室里面。
A sigh echoed at this moment. A graceful figure slowly entered the stone room.
què shì yī miào líng shào nǚ ， róng yán qīng lì ， měi yàn bù kě fāng wù ， zī róng jué shì ， jī hū néng yǔ yuè ér xiāng bǐ …… bù ， hái shì yào shāo xùn yī xiē ， dàn yě měi dé bù kě sī yì 。
却是一妙龄少女，容颜清丽，美艳不可方物，姿容绝世，几乎能与月儿相比……不，还是要稍逊一些，但也美得不可思议。
It was a young maiden with a strikingly beautiful face and posture that could rival the moon... no, perhaps still slightly inferior but incredibly beautiful.
cǐ nǚ tái qǐ tóu lú ， wàng zhe bàn kōng zhōng nà hēi sè de páng rán dà wù ， liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī yóu yù zhēng zhá zhī sè ， fǎng fú ná bù dìng zhǔ yì shì de 。
此女抬起头颅，望着半空中那黑色的庞然大物，脸上露出一丝犹豫挣扎之色，仿佛拿不定主意似的。
She raised her head, looking at the black giant in mid-air, showing signs of hesitation and struggle on her face as if indecisive.
“ nǐ jì rán dào le zhè lǐ ， yòu hé bì hái zài chí yí ， ruò méi yǒu wǒ de bāng zhù ， nǐ yǐ wéi jiù píng nǐ qū qū yī bā wěi xiān hú ， jiù néng gòu duì fù dé le zhè me duō cóng wài jiè ér lái de dà néng me ， dào shí hòu zhǐ pà huà yǔ lǎo ér de bǎo wù yào bèi duó zǒu ， nǐ zì jǐ yě huì shēn shǒu yì chù …… a ， yě bú jiàn de ， yě xǔ zhè xiē xià jiè de dà néng jiàn nǐ zī róng bù sú ， huì cí bēi xīn fā zuò ， ráo nǐ yī mìng yě shì yǒu de 。”
“你既然到了这里，又何必还在迟疑，若没有我的帮助，你以为就凭你区区一八尾仙狐，就能够对付得了这么多从外界而来的大能么，到时候只怕化羽老儿的宝物要被夺走，你自己也会身首异处……啊，也不见得，也许这些下界的大能见你姿容不俗，会慈悲心发作，饶你一命也是有的。”
"You've arrived here. Why hesitate? Without my help, do you think a mere eight-tailed immortal fox could handle so many powerful beings from outside? You might lose your life or even have your treasure taken away by Old Feathered Feathers."
jiàn nà shào nǚ chóu chú ， cán jiǎn zhōng què yǒu bù huái hào yì de shēng yīn fā chū ， dài zhe tiáo kǎn zhī sè 。
见那少女踌躇，蚕茧中却有不怀好意的声音发出，带着调侃之色。
Seeing the maiden hesitate, an unkind voice emerged from inside the cocoon with a mocking tone.
“ zhù kǒu ， xiǎo xiān yù huán jìng qí tè ， yì bān rén jué zhǎo bú dào rù kǒu ， zuì jìn què jiē lián yǒu rén qián jìn cǐ chù ， shèn zhì zhǎo dào zhè huà yǔ zhēn rén de dòng fǔ ， nǐ gǎn shuō ， bú shì nǐ gǎo de guǐ me ？” bā wèi xiān hú mǎn liǎn fèn nù ， zì jǐ kě bù huì rèn rén zǎi gē ， duì fāng de yīn móu suàn jì qǐ huì bù qīng chǔ 。
“住口，小仙域环境奇特，一般人绝找不到入口，最近却接连有人潜进此处，甚至找到这化羽真人的洞府，你敢说，不是你搞的鬼么？”八位仙狐满脸愤怒，自己可不会任人宰割，对方的阴谋算计岂会不清楚。
"Be quiet. The Lesser Immortal Realm is unique; few can find its entrance. Yet there have been consecutive intruders who found this place and even entered True Immortal Feathers' lair. You dare say it wasn't you?"
“ shì wǒ gǎo de guǐ ， nà yòu rú hé ？”
“是我搞的鬼，那又如何？”
The eight immortal foxes were furious. They wouldn't let themselves be manipulated, so they knew the other's plot.
méi xiǎng dào duì fāng què háo bù yóu yù de zhí rèn qí shì le 。
没想到对方却毫不犹豫的直认其事了。
"You did it? What of it?"
“ nǐ ……”
“你……”
To their surprise, the other admitted guiltlessly.
xiān hú yī dāi ， duì fāng de tǎn chéng dà chū yì liào zhī wài ， yī shí jiān dào bù zhī dào gāi zěn me jiē kǒu le xià lái 。
仙狐一呆，对方的坦诚大出意料之外，一时间倒不知道该怎么接口了下来。
"Then what do you intend to do?"
lèng le piàn kè ， cái yī zì yī dùn de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ：“ nǐ jiū jìng yì yù rú hé ？”
愣了片刻，才一字一顿的声音传入耳朵：“你究竟意欲如何？”
"What else? After all these years, you never helped me. Since you're unwilling to assist, I have no choice but to find another way."
“ rú hé ， shuí ràng nǐ zhè me duō nián ， dōu bù kěn chū shǒu fàng wǒ ， nǐ jì rán bù yuàn yì chū shǒu xiàng zhù ， běn xiān dāng rán zhǐ yǒu lìng xiǎng bié de bàn fǎ le 。” nà cán jiǎn zhōng de shēng yīn tián bù zhī chǐ de shuō 。
“如何，谁让你这么多年，都不肯出手放我，你既然不愿意出手相助，本仙当然只有另想别的办法了。”那蚕茧中的声音恬不知耻的说。
The voice inside the cocoon was shameless.
“ běn xiān ， zhēn shì hǎo dà de kǒu qì ， nǐ dāng nián ， bù guò huà yǔ zhēn rén zuò xià de yī xiǎo dào tóng ér yǐ ， ruò fēi zhēn rén tái jǔ ， nǐ rú hé néng yǒu jīn rì de shí lì ， kě nǐ què ēn jiāng chóu bào ， gōu jié yù wài tiān mó ， suàn jì zhēn xiān ， zhēn shì bù zhī tiān gāo dì hòu ， bēi bǐ wú chǐ ……” bā wèi xiān hú de biǎo qíng bù xiè yǐ jí 。
“本仙，真是好大的口气，你当年，不过化羽真人座下的一小道童而已，若非真人抬举，你如何能有今日的实力，可你却恩将仇报，勾结域外天魔，算计真仙，真是不知天高地厚，卑鄙无耻……”八位仙狐的表情不屑以极。
"A great claim indeed! You were just a little boy in True Immortal Feathers' service back then. Without his favor, how could you reach your current strength? Yet you repaid his kindness with malice, colluding with域外天魔 to plot against him. You truly know nothing of the world and are despicable," the eight immortal foxes sneered.
“ fèi huà shǎo shuō ， shén me bēi bǐ wú chǐ ， chéng wáng bài kòu ér yǐ ， méi cuò ， zhǐ shì zhēn rén zuò qián de yī xiǎo dào tóng ， kě nà yòu rú hé ， huà yǔ hái bú shì luò rù le wǒ de suàn jì ， ér nǐ yòu yǒu shén me liǎo bù qǐ ， bù guò tā suǒ huàn yǎng de qū qū yī tóu líng shòu ér yǐ 。”
“废话少说，什么卑鄙无耻，成王败寇而已，没错，只是真人座前的一小道童，可那又如何，化羽还不是落入了我的算计，而你又有什么了不起，不过他所豢养的区区一头灵兽而已。”
"Enough talk! What's despicable is just a matter of winning or losing. True, I was just a little boy in front of him, but he fell into my trap, and you're no better than his pet spirit beast."
“ dāng nián huà yǔ yě bù céng ná zhèng yǎn kàn nǐ ， zěn me ， mò fēi nǐ hái xiǎng yào wèi tā bào chóu ， wǒ quàn nǐ ， shí shí wù zhě wéi jùn jié ， cōng míng de huà ， jiù yǔ wǒ hé zuò ， guāi guāi de jiāng běn xiān gěi fàng le ， zhè xiē nián de ēn yuàn ， wǒ jì wǎng bù jiù ， huà yǔ liú zài cǐ dì de bǎo wù ， wǒ yě fēn wén bù qǔ ， nà jǐ gè chuǎng rù cǐ dì de jiā huo ， wǒ zì huì wèi nǐ duì fù ， cǐ jiān shì le zhī hòu ， wǒ men gè zǒu yī biān ， hù bù xiāng qiàn ， nǐ kàn rú hé ？”( wèi wán dài xù 。。)
“当年化羽也不曾拿正眼看你，怎么，莫非你还想要为他报仇，我劝你，识时务者为俊杰，聪明的话，就与我合作，乖乖的将本仙给放了，这些年的恩怨，我既往不咎，化羽留在此地的宝物，我也分文不取，那几个闯入此地的家伙，我自会为你对付，此间事了之后，我们各走一边，互不相欠，你看如何？”(未完待续。。)
"Feathers never looked at you with anything but disdain. Do you want to seek revenge for him? I advise you to be pragmatic. If you see the situation clearly, cooperate with me. Release me willingly, and I'll forget all past grievances. The treasures left by Feathers will remain untouched, and I'll deal with those who entered here on your behalf. After this matter is settled, we part ways without owing each other anything. What do you think?" (To be continued...)
A Heavenly Gift!
Just as he had planned.
Lin Xuan's heart leaped with joy. Such a good opportunity was not to be missed.
With a loud shout, a bluish-green glow enveloped his body. Accompanied by colorful electric arcs and golden-silver colored talismans floating out.
Sizzle...
His body then erupted in blazing flames, the power of the Nine Palace Musty Sword had been fully unleashed at this moment.
At this instant, Lin Xuan made no further reservations. Under the influence of several great divine techniques, the restrictions set by a True Immortal were bound to have their limits.
They were shattered with one push.
The result was somewhat unexpected for Lin Xuan but he quickly rejoiced. Merging his body and sword into one, he transformed into a dazzling silver light that shot towards the sky.
Like a shooting star, like falling stars from the Milky Way.
In an instant, the entire sky turned a brilliant silvery color.
Subtle traces of法则 power began to emerge.
With cleverness overcoming clumsiness.

At the same time.
In the mysterious stone room of the Lesser Immortal Realm.
The black cocoon still hovered mid-air, bound by a thick iron chain. Around it, five treasures floated in the air: an ancient tripod, a purple mirror, a copper stove, a jade如意and a silver bell.
Five先天灵宝, along with hundreds of restrictions and talismans, sealed it tightly as before.
