yǔ cǐ tóng shí ， mó jiè 。**.
与此同时，魔界。**.
Meanwhile, in the Demon Realm. **.
é máo dà xuě yóu tiān kōng piāo luò ， tiān dì jiān yín zhuāng sù guǒ ， shuǐ tiān yī sè ， fǎng fú lián mí màn zài tiān dì jiān de mó qì dōu shì rǔ bái sè de 。
鹅毛大雪由天空飘落，天地间银装素裹，水天一色，仿佛连弥漫在天地间的魔气都是乳白色的。
Snowflakes as large as goose feathers fell from the sky, turning everything into a silver world where the horizon met the sky. The air seemed to be filled with milky-white demonic energy.
zhè lǐ shì yí wàng wú jì de bīng yuán ， kuān guǎng yǐ jí ， ér zài nà jí yuǎn de jìn tóu ， yǒu yī piàn shuǐ jīng gōng bān de qióng lóu yù yǔ 。
这里是一望无际的冰原，宽广以极，而在那极远的尽头，有一片水晶宫般的琼楼玉宇。
This was an endless ice plain, vast and boundless, stretching to the farthest end where a palace-like structure of crystal and jade stood out like a beacon.
rú jīn ， sān jiè bèi diǎn rán le zhàn huǒ ， dǎo méi de kě bìng bù jǐn jǐn shì líng jiè lái zhe ， gǔ mó jiè ， tóng yàng jiàng lín le xǔ duō yù wài tiān mó ， dào chù sì lüè héng xíng 。
如今，三界被点燃了战火，倒霉的可并不仅仅是灵界来着，古魔界，同样降临了许多域外天魔，到处肆掠横行。
The Three Realms were now engulfed in war, but it wasn't just the Spirit Realm that suffered. The ancient Demon Realm had also been invaded by域外天魔, who roamed freely, causing chaos everywhere.
rán ér zhè bīng yuán què méi yǒu shòu dào yāng jí ， yī jiù píng jìng rú xī 。
然而这冰原却没有受到殃及，依旧平静如昔。
However, this ice plain remained untouched, still as calm as ever.
tīng shàng qù yǒu xiē bù kě sī yì 。
听上去有些不可思议。
It seemed almost unbelievable.
dàn rú guǒ liǎo jiě yuán wěi zé háo bù xī qí 。
但如果了解原委则毫不稀奇。
But understanding the truth made it seem quite ordinary.
yīn wèi zhè lǐ shì bīng pò shǐ zǔ de dòng tiān fú dì 。
因为这里是冰魄始祖的洞天福地。
For here was the Immortal Abode of the Ice Soul Primordial, where the Ice Soul, one of the Nine True Demonic Primordials, resided. Despite being a woman, she possessed immense power and no one knew how far her cultivation had progressed over the years.
bīng pò ， jiǔ wèi zhēn mó shǐ zǔ zhī yī ， suī shì nǚ zǐ ， yī shēn shén tōng què shì qiáng dà yǐ jí ， zhè me duō nián guò qù ， méi yǒu rén zhī dào tā yǐ xiū xíng dào shén me jìng dì 。
冰魄，九位真魔始祖之一，虽是女子，一身神通却是强大以极，这么多年过去，没有人知道她已修行到什么境地。
One could not speculate too much, but to call her the foremost demon in the realm would be accurate.
bù néng zuò guò duō de chuǎi mó ， dàn chēng zhī wèi mó jiè dì yī rén yě méi yǒu cuò 。
不能做过多的揣摩，但称之为魔界第一人也没有错。
Yet this formidable ancient demon looked no different from a young human woman as she tended to a garden.
rán ér jiù shì zhè me yī kě pà de gǔ mó ， kàn shàng qù ， què yǔ yī wèi rén lèi de miào líng nǚ zǐ bié wú èr zhì ， cǐ shí tā zhèng zài yī huā yuán lǐ 。
然而就是这么一可怕的古魔，看上去，却与一位人类的妙龄女子别无二致，此时她正在一花园里。
Unlike the plants outside, all here were crafted like ice, delicate and exquisite. It was strange yet breathtakingly beautiful.
yǔ wài jiè de huā cǎo bù tóng ， zhè lǐ suǒ yǒu de zhí wù quán dōu xiàng hán bīng zhù chéng bān de ， líng lóng bié zhì 。
与外界的花草不同，这里所有的植物全都像寒冰铸成般的，玲珑别致。
A silver-haired woman was tending to the flowers and trees with bare feet, but she did not feel cold at all. Though she was a beauty of unparalleled allure, there was no trace of magical power on her, making her appear just an ordinary human woman. But even the ancient demons who acted wickedly dared not show any disrespect towards her, their eyes filled with reverence and admiration as they secretly glanced at her.
kàn shàng qù yǒu xiē guài yì ， què yòu měi lì yǐ jí 。
看上去有些怪异，却又美丽以极。
She trimmed the plants now and then, occasionally running a hand through her hair. Suddenly, she moved her delicate fingers, tearing apart the void before her. This was an unbelievable scene; breaking the void seemed as simple to her as eating or sleeping. She stepped into it with ease.
yī wèi yín fā nǚ zǐ ， zhèng zài shì nòng huā mù ， tā chì zhe shuāng zú ， cǎi zài dì shàng ， què fēn háo bù jué dé lěng de yàng zi 。
一位银发女子，正在侍弄花木，她赤着双足，踩在地上，却分毫不觉得冷的样子。
The ancient demons standing by were taken aback but hesitated to follow. Instead, they waited in place, their eyes flashing with curiosity and anticipation.
suī shì qīng guó qīng chéng zhī zī ， kě shēn shàng què méi yǒu fēn háo fǎ lì ， kàn shàng qù jiù xiàng yī pǔ tōng de fán rén nǚ zǐ ， kě páng biān nà xiē è xíng è zhuàng de gǔ mó ， wú bù dà qì yě bù gǎn chū ， ǒu ěr qiāo qiāo miáo xiàng cǐ nǚ de mù guāng ， wú bù chōng mǎn le chóng jìng yǔ yǎng mù 。
虽是倾国倾城之姿，可身上却没有分毫法力，看上去就像一普通的凡人女子，可旁边那些恶行恶状的古魔，无不大气也不敢出，偶尔悄悄瞄向此女的目光，无不充满了崇敬与仰慕。
Meanwhile, a silver-haired maiden appeared momentarily in a space filled only with a complex array of five-colored lights. Suspended above the light was a large inscription: "Light Arc Appears, Celestial Path Connects."
cǐ nǚ xiū jiǎn huā cǎo ， bù shí hái yòng shǒu lǐ yī lǐ bìn biān de fā sī ， tū rán ， tā shén sè yī dòng ， qiàn shǒu wēi yáng ， zhè me qīng qīng yī chě 。 bù kě sī yì de yí mù fā shēng le ， tā jìng rán jiāng xū kōng sī pò ， pò suì xū kōng duì cǐ nǚ lái shuō ， jìng fǎng fú gēn chī fàn shuì jiào yì bān de háo wú kùn nán ， suí hòu tā shēn xíng yī dòng ， biàn jìn rù dào le nà xū kōng zhī zhōng 。
此女修剪花草，不时还用手理一理鬓边的发丝，突然，她神色一动，纤手微扬，这么轻轻一扯。不可思议的一幕发生了，她竟然将虚空撕破，破碎虚空对此女来说，竟仿佛跟吃饭睡觉一般的毫无困难，随后她身形一动，便进入到了那虚空之中。
"Light Arc Appears, Celestial Path Connects," Ice Soul repeated softly. Her usually emotionless face, as cold as an iceberg, widened in shock.
biàn qǐ cāng cù ， nà xiē shì lì zài yī páng de gǔ mó yě bù yóu de dà wèi cuò è ， lüè yī chí yí ， dào dǐ méi yǒu gēn shàng qù ， ér shì yǎn zhōng yì máng shǎn dòng de děng zài yuán dì 。
变起仓促，那些侍立在一旁的古魔也不由得大为错愕，略一迟疑，到底没有跟上去，而是眼中异芒闪动的等在原地。
"Could it be true? Besides the Blue Star Sea, are there other ways to ascend?" She frowned and pondered for a moment before her expression turned grim again.
ér cǐ shí 。 yín fā shào nǚ zhǐ chū xiàn zài yī xū yú kōng jiān lǐ ， lǐ miàn bié wú tā wù ， zhǐ yǒu yī wǔ sè guāng zhèn xuán miào yǐ jí 。
而此时。银发少女只出现在一须臾空间里，里面别无他物，只有一五色光阵玄妙以极。
With a wave of her jade hand, several intricate spells were cast with ancient incantations. Unimaginable demonic energy erupted from her body, shocking everyone, even causing the space to tremble as if it might collapse. But Ice Soul merely pressed her hand and everything returned to silence.
ér zài guāng zhèn de shàng kōng ， xuán fú zhe jǐ gè dòu dà de jīn zì ， guāng hú xiàn ， xiān lù lián 。
而在光阵的上空，悬浮着几个斗大的金字，光弧现，仙路连。
All the demonic energy was channeled into the array before her like a whale drinking water.
“ guāng hú xiàn ， xiān lù lián 。”
“光弧现，仙路连。”
"Woo..."
bīng pò dī shēng chóng fù le yī jù ， yì zhí háo wú biǎo qíng ， rú bīng shān bān lěng mò de tā dèng dà le yǎn zhū 。 liǎn shàng mǎn shì chī jīng zhī sè 。
冰魄低声重复了一句，一直毫无表情，如冰山般冷漠的她瞪大了眼珠。脸上满是吃惊之色。
A howling sound filled the air, and an eerie picture appeared.
“ nán dào chuán shuō shì zhēn de ， chú le lán sè xīng hǎi ， hái yǒu bié de dōng xī néng gòu dǎ tōng fēi shēng zhī lù ？”
“难道传说是真的，除了蓝色星海，还有别的东西能够打通飞升之路？”
"The State of Azure Hollow, something has happened there. I must go to the Spirit Realm,"...
tā zhòu méi sī suǒ ， shǎo qǐng zhī hòu 。 miàn róng què yòu yīn chén xià qù le 。
她皱眉思索，少顷之后。面容却又阴沉下去了。
On some desolate mountains in the Netherworld, Heaven's Fiend King stood on the edge of a cliff, enveloped by dark阴气, his hands behind his back as he gazed at an endless marsh ahead.
yù shǒu huī wǔ ， jǐ dào xuán miào yǐ jí de fǎ jué dǎ chū ， bàn suí zhe gǔ piáo de zhòu yǔ ， cóng tā shēn shàng 。 sà rán mào chū wú fǎ yòng yán yǔ xíng róng de mó qì ， jīng rén yǐ jí ， lián zhěng gè xū yú kōng jiān dōu chàn dǒu le qǐ lái 。 fǎng fú yào tān tā yì bān ， rán ér bīng pò jǐn jǐn shì shēn shǒu yī àn ， yī qiè jiù yòu chóng xīn ān jìng xià lái 。
玉手挥舞，几道玄妙以极的法诀打出，伴随着古朴的咒语，从她身上。飒然冒出无法用言语形容的魔气，惊人以极，连整个须臾空间都颤抖了起来。仿佛要坍塌一般，然而冰魄仅仅是伸手一按，一切就又重新安静下来。
In his hand was a piece of greenish-luminous glass, similar to a flying sword for sending messages.
suǒ yǒu de mó qì ， quán dōu rú zhǎng jīng qǔ shuǐ yì bān ， bèi tā yòng mì shù ， guàn zhù yú shēn qián de zhèn fǎ lǐ 。
所有的魔气，全都如长鲸取水一般，被她用秘术，灌注于身前的阵法里。
"Hmph, Legend of the State of Azure Hollow," he muttered indistinctly.
“ wū ……”
“呜……”
Clearly, not just him had received this secret report from the Netherworld...
guǐ kū láng háo bān de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yì máng dà zuò ， yī fù guǐ yì de tú huà xiǎn xiàn ér chū 。
鬼哭狼嚎般的声音传入耳朵，异芒大做，一副诡异的图画显现而出。
The winds rose and clouds gathered, as if a storm was brewing. In an instant, the top-tier powerhouses in all three realms, including域外天魔, moved at the first sign of trouble. Lin Xuan did not want to be drawn into the maelstrom, but the long-standing grudges and debts... no, it was more than just a matter of wanting to avoid them.
“ qīng qiū zhī guó ， yì biàn fā shēng zài cǐ chù ， kàn lái bù dé bù qù líng jiè yī tàng le 。”
“青丘之国，异变发生在此处，看来不得不去灵界一趟了。”
Of course, Lin Xuan still had no idea what lay ahead for him.
……
……
In any case, the celebration ended hastily. The cultivators were full of questions but naturally did not dare speak much in such circumstances.
yīn sī dì fǔ mǒu zuò huāng shān zhī shàng ， tiān shā míng wáng zhàn zài xuán yá biān shàng ， hún shēn bèi huì àn de yīn qì bāo guǒ ， shuāng shǒu dào bèi ， wàng zhe qián fāng yí wàng wú jì de zhǎo zé 。
阴司地府某座荒山之上，天煞明王站在悬崖边上，浑身被晦暗的阴气包裹，双手倒背，望着前方一望无际的沼泽。
That night, Daelong Trueman summoned Lin Xuan to his cave.
ér tā de shǒu zhōng ， qīng guāng liú lí ， shì yī lèi sì yú fēi jiàn chuán shū de bǎo wù 。
而他的手中，青光琉璃，是一类似于飞剑传书的宝物。
"Brother, that flying sword message was confusing. I thought it was about the State of Azure Hollow's ruler encountering some misfortune at first, but then there was talk of light arcs and how they sucked in one-third of the cultivators from this realm and域外天魔. What is going on?" Lin Xuan spoke with urgency, not out of disrespect, as Daelong Trueman was his sworn brother and had a rather casual demeanor.
“ hēng ， chuán shuō ， qīng qiū zhī guó 。”
“哼，传说，青丘之国。”
"Third Brother, you don't need to rush. This matter involves many ancient secrets that even I know little about, like why the Asura King fell into conflict with the Spirit Realm," Daelong Trueman said gravely.
yǒu duàn duàn xù xù de shēng yīn cóng tā de zuǐ bā lǐ chuán chū 。
有断断续续的声音从他的嘴巴里传出。
Every time Lin Xuan saw his big brother, he always had a carefree expression, which was rare. What he said made Lin Xuan's heart tighten; ancient secrets and they were related to the Asura King.
ér yīn sī jiè dé dào zhè ge mì bào de xiǎn rán yě bù zhǐ tā yí gè 。
而阴司界得到这个秘报的显然也不止他一个。
Unfortunately, Big Brother already admitted that he knew little about it. Otherwise, he would have probed further.
……
……
"So, you called me here..."
fēng qǐ yún yǒng ， shān yǔ yù lái fēng mǎn lóu ， yī shí jiān ， sān jiè dǐng jí qiáng zhě ， bāo kuò yù wài tiān mó ， quán dōu wén fēng ér dòng ， lín xuān bù yuàn yì bèi juǎn rù xuán wō ， dàn mián yán qiān nián de ēn yuàn qíng chóu …… bù ， yīng gāi shì chuán chéng zì shàng gǔ ， qǐ zhǐ shì xiǎng duǒ jiù néng duǒ guò 。
风起云涌，山雨欲来风满楼，一时间，三界顶级强者，包括域外天魔，全都闻风而动，林轩不愿意被卷入漩涡，但绵延千年的恩怨情仇……不，应该是传承自上古，岂止是想躲就能躲过。
"Of course, we cannot ignore the changes in the State of Azure Hollow. Besides, this involves an ancient secret that affects us all. Therefore, I've decided to go there and asked you if you want to accompany me," Daelong Trueman said with a flick of his hair.
dāng rán le ， lín xuān xiàn zài hái xī lǐ hú tú ， bìng bù zhī dào jiē xià lái ， tā jiāng yào miàn duì shén me 。
当然了，林轩现在还稀里糊涂，并不知道接下来，他将要面对什么。
"Do I have to go?"
zǒng zhī nà qìng gōng yàn cǎo cǎo jié shù ， zhòng xiū shì suī mǎn fù yí dòu ， dàn zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng xià zì rán yě bù gǎn duō shuō 。
总之那庆功宴草草结束，众修士虽满腹疑窦，但这种情况下自然也不敢多说。
"Of course, it's up to you. Big Brother can't decide for you, but I suggest you come along."
dàng wǎn ， nài lóng zhēn rén jiāng lín xuān jiào dào le tā de dòng fǔ 。
当晚，鼐龙真人将林轩叫到了他的洞府。
"Since that is the case, Little Brother will follow your lead." Lin Xuan's voice echoed as he agreed. Not only did the changes in the State of Azure Hollow involve ancient secrets and his Moon's past life, but even for Snow Fox, he had to go.
“ dà gē ， nà fēi jiàn chuán shū shì zěn me huí shì ， xiǎo dì kàn dé shì xī lǐ hú tú ， kāi shǐ hái yǐ wéi shì qīng qiū guó zhǔ zāo yù le bù cè ， kě hòu miàn shuō shén me guāng hú ， hái shuō cǐ wù jiāng gāi jiè miàn sān fēn zhī yī de xiū shì yǔ yù wài tiān mó dōu xī jìn qù le ， zhè shì zěn me huí shì ？” lín xuān fēng fēng huǒ huǒ ， dào bú shì bù zhī lǐ shù ， ér shì nài lóng zhēn rén shì zì jǐ de jié bài dà gē ， xìng gé yòu shì nà yàng de xī lǐ hú tú ， duì tā yuán běn jiù bù bì jiǎng shén me lǐ shù 。
“大哥，那飞剑传书是怎么回事，小弟看得是稀里糊涂，开始还以为是青丘国主遭遇了不测，可后面说什么光弧，还说此物将该界面三分之一的修士与域外天魔都吸进去了，这是怎么回事？”林轩风风火火，倒不是不知礼数，而是鼐龙真人是自己的结拜大哥，性格又是那样的稀里糊涂，对他原本就不必讲什么礼数。
How could Shang'er ignore her?
“ sān dì nǐ bù yòng jí ， zhè shì kě bú shì yī shí bàn huì er shuō dé qīng chǔ dì ， qí zhōng qiān chě dào hěn duō shàng gǔ yǐn mì ， bǐ rú shuō dāng nián de ā xiū luó wáng ， wèi hé huì yǔ líng jiè jiāo wù ， biàn shì dà gē wǒ ， suǒ zhī yě bú shì hěn duō 。”
“三弟你不用急，这事可不是一时半会儿说得清楚地，其中牵扯到很多上古隐秘，比如说当年的阿修罗王，为何会与灵界交恶，便是大哥我，所知也不是很多。”
"But if we leave, what about the域外天魔..."
nài lóng zhēn rén rú cǐ zhè bān de shuō ， shén qíng yì mǎn shì níng zhòng zhī sè 。
鼐龙真人如此这般的说，神情亦满是凝重之色。
Lin Xuan paused, showing a hint of concern on his face. Although Voidfall had perished, the other域外天魔 had shown their submission like Cloud Fairy, but without someone in charge, they might return with renewed vigor.
lín xuān měi cì kàn jiàn dà gē ， tā dōu shì yī fù diào er láng dāng de biǎo qíng ， zhè yàng de qíng kuàng zhēn xīn bù duō ， ér qí suǒ yán ， gèng ràng lín xuān xīn zhōng yī lǐn ， shàng gǔ yǐn mì ， qiě yǔ ā xiū luó wáng yǒu guān xì 。
林轩每次看见大哥，他都是一副吊儿郎当的表情，这样的情况真心不多，而其所言，更让林轩心中一凛，上古隐秘，且与阿修罗王有关系。
However, Daelong Trueman smiled: "Third Brother, you need not worry about the域外天魔. Light Arc Appears, Celestial Path Connects. With this prophecy appearing in the State of Azure Hollow, those high-ranking leaders will surely come as well. They won't have any interest in attacking the Spirit Realm."
kě xī dà gē yǐ jīng yán míng tā bù shèn qīng chǔ ， fǒu zé zì jǐ fēi hǎo hǎo dǎ tàn yī fān bù kě 。
可惜大哥已经言明他不甚清楚，否则自己非好好打探一番不可。
PS: These chapters are transitional ones. The book has entered a critical phase where ancient secrets will be gradually revealed. It's really tough to fill these holes; I've been wracking my brains over it. (To be continued...)
Meanwhile, in the Demon Realm. **.
Snowflakes as large as goose feathers fell from the sky, turning everything into a silver world where the horizon met the sky. The air seemed to be filled with milky-white demonic energy.
