“ dà gē ， nǐ yǒu shén me zhǔ yì ？”
“大哥，你有什么主意？”
"Brother, do you have any ideas?"
bù chǐ xià wèn ， xiàng lái shì lín xuān de yōu diǎn zhī yī 。。.23x.
不耻下问，向来是林轩的优点之一。。.23x.
Humility in seeking advice is one of Lin Xuan's strengths. Besides, Master Nailong's power and experience far exceed his own. It makes sense to consult with such a sworn brother.
hé kuàng nài lóng zhēn rén de shí lì shēn bù kě cè ， jiàn shí yì yuǎn shèng zì jǐ xǔ duō ， fàng zhe zhè me yī wèi jié bài dà gē ， dāng rán yào hǎo hǎo zhēng xún yī xià tā de yì jiàn le 。
何况鼐龙真人的实力深不可测，见识亦远胜自己许多，放着这么一位结拜大哥，当然要好好征询一下他的意见了。
"This...?"
“ zhè ge ……”
“这个……”
Nailong's face also lost its playful expression as he carefully examined the valley before him: "The art of array formations is not my forte. From the outside, this valley doesn't reveal much. However, Little Fox spoke so mysteriously about it, there must be some hidden meaning. Better to be cautious."
nài lóng de liǎn shàng yì shōu qǐ le xī xiào zhī sè ， zhǔ mù dǎ liàng yǎn qián de shān gǔ ：“ zhèn fǎ zhī dào ， fēi wǒ suǒ zhǎng ， zhè shān gǔ ， cóng wài biǎo shàng ， yě nán yǐ kàn chū duān ní ， bù guò zhè xiǎo hú lí shuō dé rú cǐ xuán hū ， xiǎng bì zì yǒu tā de xuán miào zhī chù ， zǒng zhī xiǎo xīn yì diǎn yě shì hǎo de 。”
鼐龙的脸上亦收起了嬉笑之色，瞩目打量眼前的山谷：“阵法之道，非我所长，这山谷，从外表上，也难以看出端倪，不过这小狐狸说得如此玄乎，想必自有它的玄妙之处，总之小心一点也是好的。”
This was a non-answer.
zhè shuō le děng yú méi shuō 。
这说了等于没说。
Lin Xuan was speechless for a moment.
lín xuān yī zhèn wú yǔ 。
林轩一阵无语。
But he wasn't surprised. Cultivation techniques are vast and deep; no one can master them all. Specializing in one is enough to dominate the Three Realms. While Master Nailong is formidable, it's reasonable that he isn't familiar with array formations.
bù guò xiǎng xiǎng yě bù xī qí 。
不过想想也不稀奇。
It seemed Lin Xuan would have to rely on himself.
xiū xiān bǎi yì ， yuán běn jiù shì bó dà jīng shēn dì ， cóng gǔ dào jīn ， méi yǒu yí gè rén néng gòu róng huì guàn tōng ， nà yě méi yǒu yì yì ， zhǐ xū yào zhuān jīng yī yì ， jiù zú yǐ zài sān jiè zhōng zòng héng wú dí 。
修仙百艺，原本就是博大精深地，从古到今，没有一个人能够融会贯通，那也没有意义，只需要专精一艺，就足以在三界中纵横无敌。
Lin Xuan sighed inwardly.
nài lóng zhēn rén shì liǎo de ， dàn bù shú xī zhèn fǎ yě shì shùn lǐ chéng zhāng de 。
鼐龙真人是了得，但不熟悉阵法也是顺理成章的。
He took a deep breath and released his spirit sense.
kàn lái hái dé kào zì jǐ 。
看来还得靠自己。
No results.
lín xuān zài xīn zhōng tàn le kǒu qì 。
林轩在心中叹了口气。
The scenery before him remained unchanged.
yú shì shēn shēn hū xī ， jiāng shén shí fàng le chū qù 。
于是深深呼吸，将神识放了出去。
Knowing his other abilities aside, his spirit sense was nearly on par with true immortals.
méi yǒu shōu huò 。
没有收获。
But he showed no signs of discouragement. This outcome was expected. Lin Xuan used the Heavenly Wind Divine Eye.
yǎn qián de jǐng wù yī jiù shì fēn háo biàn huà yě wú 。
眼前的景物依旧是分毫变化也无。
A silver light shone deep in his eyes as the scene began to blur. The entire valley seemed enveloped by a colorful curtain.
yào zhī dào lín xuān bié de shén tōng qiě bù tí ， shén shí biàn shì bǐ zhī zhēn xiān ， nà yě xiāng chā wú jǐ 。
要知道林轩别的神通且不提，神识便是比之真仙，那也相差无几。
Thin yet shimmering, it exuded an aura of mystery.
dàn tā de liǎn shàng ， bìng méi yǒu duō shǎo qì něi zhī yì ， zhè yàng de jié guǒ yě suàn shùn lǐ chéng zhāng dì ， lín xuān yòu shǐ chū le tiān fēng shén mù 。
但他的脸上，并没有多少气馁之意，这样的结果也算顺理成章地，林轩又使出了天风神目。
Little Fox's words weren't exaggerated; this place indeed had a strangeprohibition guarding it.
móu dǐ shēn chù ， yín máng dà qǐ 。
眸底深处，银芒大起。
Lin Xuan flicked his sleeve and a flash of green light appeared, forming a sword beam that struck the curtain.
yǎn qián de jǐng wù kāi shǐ mó hú ， zhěng gè shān gǔ ， sì hū lǒng zhào zhe yī céng xuàn lì de guāng mù 。
眼前的景物开始模糊，整个山谷，似乎笼罩着一层绚丽的光幕。
A thunderous sound echoed. The surface of the curtain actually produced lightning.
báo rú chán yì ， què yòu wǔ cǎi liú lí 。
薄如蝉翼，却又五彩琉璃。
The sword beam was enveloped by it, accompanied by a wail. Lin Xuan's Nine Palaces Sword fragmented into pieces.
chōng mǎn le shén mì de qì xī 。
充满了神秘的气息。
Stunned!
zhè bā wěi xiān hú dào yě méi yǒu hú shuō ， cǐ chù guǒ rán bèi yī gǔ guài de jìn zhì shǒu hù 。
这八尾仙狐倒也没有胡说，此处果然被一古怪的禁制守护。
Such results left even Master Nailong speechless.
lín xuān xiù páo yī fú ， qīng guāng shǎn shuò ， yī dào jiàn máng fú xiàn ér chū 。
林轩袖袍一拂，青光闪烁，一道剑芒浮现而出。
He knew well about the power of the Nine Palaces Sword and would not have expected such a result.
yī shǎn ， biàn pī cì zài le nà guāng mù de shàng miàn 。
一闪，便劈刺在了那光幕的上面。
Thisprohibition was truly terrifying.
hōng rán yī shēng jù xiǎng chuán lái ， guāng mù de biǎo miàn ， jū rán fú xiàn chū léi tíng shǎn diàn 。
轰然一声巨响传来，光幕的表面，居然浮现出雷霆闪电。
"Third Brother, are you alright?"
hěn hěn jiāng jiàn guāng bāo guǒ 。 bàn suí zhe āi míng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
狠狠将剑光包裹。伴随着哀鸣声传入耳朵。
Master Nailong, who usually acted carefree, showed concern on his face. Losing one's own treasure was no fun, even for powerful cultivators.
lín xuān de jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn jū rán huà wèi suì piàn diào le 。
林轩的九宫须臾剑居然化为碎片掉了。
Lin Xuan shook his head. He waved his hand and the fragmented Nine Palaces Sword reappeared in his palm.
chēng mù jié shé ！
瞠目结舌！
The sword spirit had returned to its ethereal state.
zhè yàng de jié guǒ ， biàn shì nài lóng de liǎn shàng ， yě lù chū le dòng róng zhī sè 。
这样的结果，便是鼐龙的脸上，也露出了动容之色。
This secret technique was miraculous; a destroyed treasure could be reborn through fire. But Lin Xuan showed no joy on his face.
tā jì rán shú xī tiān wū shén nǚ ， duì yú jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn de wēi lì ， dāng rán shì yì qīng èr chǔ dì 。
他既然熟悉天巫神女，对于九宫须臾剑的威力，当然是一清二楚地。
Although that strike wasn't his ultimate, he hadn’t held back at all. Yet the result was disappointing.
jiù suàn zhǎn bù pò ， yě bù yīng gāi shì zhè yàng de jié guǒ 。
就算斩不破，也不应该是这样的结果。
Would other attacks work?
cǐ jìn zhì zhe shí tài kě pà le 。
此禁制着实太可怕了。
Even with Master Nailong’s help, they might not break thisprohibition.
“ sān dì ， nǐ hái hǎo me ？”
“三弟，你还好么？”
Was Moon really beyond rescue?
yí xiàng diào er láng dāng de nài lóng zhēn rén liǎn shàng yì lù chū le guān xīn zhī sè 。
一向吊儿郎当的鼐龙真人脸上亦露出了关心之色。
Lin Xuan was not one to give up easily, but despair began to surface.
bù guǎn shí lì rú hé ， běn mìng fǎ bǎo bèi huǐ de zī wèi ér dōu bù hǎo guò 。
不管实力如何，本命法宝被毁的滋味儿都不好过。
A mere step away from success felt like an eternity. Why would it be so?
nòng bù hǎo lín xuān yǐ shēn shòu zhòng shāng le 。
弄不好林轩已身受重伤了。
Wait, there must be another way.
“ méi shì 。”
“没事。”
Pessimism and despair flashed through his mind before he dismissed them. He had a trump card.
lín xuān què yáo le yáo tóu 。
林轩却摇了摇头。
Five Dragon Seal!
yī zhāo shǒu ， huà wèi suì piàn de jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn yòu zài tā de zhǎng xīn zhōng chóng xīn fú xiàn ér chū 。
一招手，化为碎片的九宫须臾剑又在他的掌心中重新浮现而出。
Unknown origins, mysterious, almost as enigmatic as the Blue Star Sea. Its power never disappointed him; even primordial spirit treasures seemed inferior in comparison.
jiàn líng huà xū 。
剑灵化虚。
It was time to use it. This would reveal his secret to all, but Master Nailong was his brother and highly principled—nothing too serious.
cǐ mì shù shén qí wú bǐ ， běn mìng fǎ bǎo bèi huǐ yě kě yǐ yù huǒ ér chóng shēng dì 。
此秘术神奇无比，本命法宝被毁也可以浴火而重生地。
In times of crisis, one must seize opportunities. Lin Xuan disregarded everything else and used Inner Vision to activate the Five Dragon Seal.
dàn zhè yàng yòu rú hé 。 lín xuān de liǎn shàng háo wú xǐ sè 。
但这样又如何。林轩的脸上毫无喜色。
But the treasure floated in the center of the Blue Star Sea, completely out of his control.
gāng cái nà yī jiàn suī rán shuō bù shàng tā yā xiāng dǐ de gōng fu ， dàn yě shì sī háo bǎo liú yě wú ， kě méi xiǎng dào què shì zhè yàng yí gè jié guǒ 。
刚才那一剑虽然说不上他压箱底的功夫，但也是丝毫保留也无，可没想到却是这样一个结果。
No way!
nà qí tā gōng jī yǒu yòng me ？
那其他攻击有用么？
Even before, he could use it.
jiù suàn jiā shàng nài lóng zhēn rén ， xiōng dì èr rén lián shǒu ， kǒng pà yì bù néng jiāng zhè jìn zhì tū pò 。
就算加上鼐龙真人，兄弟二人联手，恐怕亦不能将这禁制突破。
Why not now?
nán dào shuō ， yuè ér zhēn jiù bù chū lái le ？
难道说，月儿真救不出来了？
Lin Xuan was at a loss as he tried again with no success. This path seemed useless too.
lín xuān bú shì qīng yì fàng qì de xiū xiān zhě ， dàn cǐ shí cǐ kè ， xīn zhōng yě fú xiàn chū yī gǔ jué wàng de qíng xù lái le 。
林轩不是轻易放弃的修仙者，但此时此刻，心中也浮现出一股绝望的情绪来了。
Just then, an inexplicable urge stirred within him... almost like something calling to him, urging him to go forward.
míng míng zhī xiāng chà yī bù ， què fǎng fú tiān rén yǒng gé 。 zěn me huì zhè yàng ne ？
明明之相差一步，却仿佛天人永隔。怎么会这样呢？
Lin Xuan was stunned. Was this array formation luring him in? It seemed to be setting a trap.
děng děng ， yí dìng hái huì yǒu qí tā bàn fǎ de 。
等等，一定还会有其他办法的。
The Nine Palaces Sword had been shattered; he had no doubt that entering its range would lead to utter destruction.
bēi guān jué wàng yě jǐn jǐn shì yī huǎng ér guò ， lín xuān dāng rán bù kě néng zhè yàng jiù fàng qì le 。
悲观绝望也仅仅是一晃而过，林轩当然不可能这样就放弃了。
Yet the urge grew stronger with time. The Five Dragon Seal began to resonate too.
yào shuō gōng jī ， zì jǐ qí shí hái yǒu yī yā xiāng dǐ de mì jì 。
要说攻击，自己其实还有一压箱底的秘技。
Was this not a trap? Theprohibition and the Five Dragon Seal were connected.
wǔ lóng xǐ ！
五龙玺！
Lin Xuan pondered, but it was just speculation. Choosing wrong meant certain doom.
cǐ bǎo bù zhī lái lì 。 dàn shén mì ， jī hū yǔ lán sè xīng hǎi xiāng chà fǎng fú 。
此宝不知来历。但神秘，几乎与蓝色星海相差仿佛。
But Lin Xuan made his decision: he would try.
wēi lì ， gèng shì cóng lái méi yǒu ràng zì jǐ shī wàng guò ， háo bù kuā zhāng de shuō 。 xiān tiān líng bǎo dōu bèi yuǎn yuǎn de shuāi zài hòu miàn le 。
威力，更是从来没有让自己失望过，毫不夸张的说。先天灵宝都被远远的摔在后面了。
Rather than wait for death, he might as well take a chance. He understood the principle of seeking fortune in peril.
wàng chén mò jí ！
望尘莫及！
Despite the immense risk, he was determined to save Moon.
yòng tā ， yīng gāi kě yǐ jiāng yǎn qián de zhèn fǎ pò qù 。
用它，应该可以将眼前的阵法破去。
With resolve, Lin Xuan charged forward, green light enveloping him as he rushed towards the protective barrier.
dāng rán ， zhè me zuò 。 yě jiù ràng zì jǐ de mì mì dà bái yú tiān xià le 。
当然，这么做。也就让自己的秘密大白于天下了。
"Wait, Third Brother, what are you doing?"
bù guò nài lóng suī rán diào er láng dāng le xiē ， què shì zì jǐ xiōng dì ， yòu jí jiǎng yì qì ， yīng gāi shì bù dǎ jǐn dì 。
不过鼐龙虽然吊儿郎当了些，却是自己兄弟，又极讲义气，应该是不打紧地。
Master Nailong was equally stunned. He didn't know what Lin Xuan had been thinking.
sú huà shuō ， shì jí cóng quán ， lín xuān yě jiù gù bù liǎo xǔ duō 。
俗话说，事急从权，林轩也就顾不了许多。
Was his third brother losing it?
yú shì shī zhǎn nèi shì zhī shù ， xiǎng yào diào dòng wǔ lóng xǐ ， kě jiē xià lái de yí mù ， què ràng tā chēng mù jié shé 。
于是施展内视之术，想要调动五龙玺，可接下来的一幕，却让他瞠目结舌。
Going headlong into thatprohibition seemed suicidal.
zhè jiàn bǎo wù zài lán sè xīng hǎi de zhōng xīn ， jìng jìng xuán fú ， què sī háo yě bù shòu zì jǐ kòng zhì le 。
这件宝物在蓝色星海的中心，静静悬浮，却丝毫也不受自己控制了。
Nailong wouldn’t watch him do something foolish. But he couldn’t stop him in time.
bú huì ba ！
不会吧！
Lin Xuan acted decisively, touching theprohibition without a sound or thunderous explosion. He entered unharmed.
biàn shì yǐ qián ， lín xuān yě néng gòu dòng yòng tā 。
便是以前，林轩也能够动用它。
Even with Nailong’s vast experience, he was speechless. Little Fox, the Nine-Tailed Fairy Fox, was equally stunned.
zhè guān jiàn shí kè ， zěn me què ……
这关键时刻，怎么却……
"You said no one could enter thisprohibition," Nailong asked.
lín xuān bǎi sī bù dé qí jiě ， yòu cháng shì le shù cì ， hái shì wú guǒ 。
林轩百思不得其解，又尝试了数次，还是无果。
"I did say that, but you can try...," the Nine-Tailed Fairy Fox's hesitant voice echoed.
nán dào zhè zuì hòu yī tiáo lù ， yě méi yǒu le yòng chǔ 。
难道这最后一条路，也没有了用处。
"Try? Do you think I'm stupid?" Master Nailong wasn't a fool.
lín xuān xīn zhōng ， dàng zhēn shì jǔ sàng dào le jí chù 。
林轩心中，当真是沮丧到了极处。
"So what do we do now?"
páng huáng wú cè 。
彷徨无策。
"What to do? We wait. If Third Brother can enter, he will come out."
rán ér jiù zài zhè shí ， lín xuān nèi xīn shēn chù ， què mò míng qí miào yǒu le yì diǎn gǎn chù …… zěn me shuō ne ， hěn nán miáo shù ， fǎng fú qián fāng yǒu yī jiàn dōng xī ， duì ， jiù shì nà jìn zhì ， zài hū huàn tā 。
然而就在这时，林轩内心深处，却莫名其妙有了一点感触……怎么说呢，很难描述，仿佛前方有一件东西，对，就是那禁制，在呼唤他。
Nailong took out a wine flask and said, "Stop dawdling; come here and pour me some wine."
"Brother, do you have any ideas?"
Humility in seeking advice is one of Lin Xuan's strengths. Besides, Master Nailong's power and experience far exceed his own. It makes sense to consult with such a sworn brother.
"This...?"
Nailong's face also lost its playful expression as he carefully examined the valley before him: "The art of array formations is not my forte. From the outside, this valley doesn't reveal much.
