“ cǐ shì bù jí ， děng guǎng hán dào yǒu lái le zài shuō 。”
“此事不急，等广寒道友来了再说。”
"This matter is not urgent. Let's discuss it once Guanghan Daoist Friend arrives."
yǔ tóng xiān zi yuè ěr dòng tīng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
雨桐仙子悦耳动听的声音传入耳朵。
Rain桐 Fairy's melodious voice entered his ears.
lín xuān shēn shī yī lǐ ， yì zhì zhù kuáng xǐ de qíng xù ， duì fāng zhè me shuō ， nà shì yǔn kě ， zì jǐ fèi jǐn xīn kǔ ， zhōng yú yǒu jī huì dé wén shàng gǔ yǐn mì 。
林轩深施一礼，抑制住狂喜的情绪，对方这么说，那是允可，自己费尽辛苦，终于有机会得闻上古隐秘。
Lin Xuan performed a deep bow, suppressing his overwhelming joy. The other party saying so was an affirmation. After all his efforts, he finally had the chance to hear about ancient secrets.
bìng fēi hào qí ， ér shì yǔ yuè ér yǒu mò dà de guān xì 。
并非好奇，而是与月儿有莫大的关系。
It wasn't out of curiosity but because it was closely related to Yue'er.
lín xuān luò zuò ， jí biàn yǐ tā de chéng fǔ ， nà yě shì xǐ xíng yú sè ， shēn shēn hū xī ， cái jiāng jī dòng de xīn qíng píng fù xià qù 。
林轩落座，即便以他的城府，那也是喜形于色，深深呼吸，才将激动的心情平复下去。
Lin Xuan took his seat, even with his composure, he couldn’t hide his excitement. He took deep breaths before calming down.
hěn kuài ， jiǎo bù shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， guǎng hán zhēn rén lóng xíng hǔ bù ， rén hái wèi dào dá cǐ chù ， yǐ yǒu zhǎng xiào de shēng yīn chuán lái le ：
很快，脚步声传入耳朵，广寒真人龙行虎步，人还未到达此处，已有长笑的声音传来了：
Soon, footsteps approached. Guanghan True Immortal moved like a tiger and a dragon, his presence already felt in the air before he arrived:
“ pín dào lái chí ， yòu ràng jǐ wèi dào yǒu děng wǒ ， zhēn shì zuì guò zuì guò 。”
“贫道来迟，又让几位道友等我，真是罪过罪过。”
"Poor Daoist is late again, making several Daoist friends wait for me. Truly sinful."
huà yīn wèi luò ， guāng huá yī shǎn ， guǎng hán zhēn rén yǐ chū xiàn zài le shēn qián 。
话音未落，光华一闪，广寒真人已出现在了身前。
Before he finished speaking, a flash of light appeared, and Guanghan True Immortal was right in front of him.
yī yè bú jiàn ， tā què shì dà yǒu gǎi biàn 。
一夜不见，他却是大有改变。
In just one night, he had changed significantly. He wore new clothes; there was no trace of weakness on his face. His entire body seemed flawless, clearly healed from all injuries, even replenished with primordial energy.
huàn le yī shēn xīn yī ， liǎn shàng nǎ ér hái yǒu bàn fēn xū ruò zhī yì ， hún shēn shàng xià ， bú jiàn bàn diǎn bù tuǒ ， xiǎn rán yǐ shāng shì jǐn fù ， shèn zhì lián yuán qì dōu yǐ bǔ zú 。
换了一身新衣，脸上哪儿还有半分虚弱之意，浑身上下，不见半点不妥，显然已伤势尽复，甚至连元气都已补足。
How did he do it?
tā shì zěn me zuò dào de ？
他是怎么做到的？
Lin Xuan couldn't help but feel astonished.
lín xuān běn bù yóu de dà gǎn chà yì 。
林轩本不由得大感诧异。
To be honest, he had seen Guanghan True Immortal's state the day before and how quickly he recovered in just a night was beyond his comprehension. He had countless miraculous medicines, yet he couldn’t achieve this level of recovery elsewhere.
shuō jù bú kè qì de yán yǔ ， guǎng hán zhēn rén zuó tiān de láng bèi tā kě shì qīn yǎn suǒ jiàn dì ， zěn me cái duǎn duǎn yī yè de gōng fu ， jū rán jiù yǐ wán quán huī fù 。
说句不客气的言语，广寒真人昨天的狼狈他可是亲眼所见地，怎么才短短一夜的功夫，居然就已完全恢复。
He could only admire these ancient immortals who truly had unique abilities.
lín xuān zì wèn yǒu líng dān miào yào wú shù ， dàn ruò shì yì dì ér chù ， què yě zuò bú dào zhè yī bù 。
林轩自问有灵丹妙药无数，但若是异地而处，却也做不到这一步。
Unlike Lin Xuan’s surprise, the other three did not show any emotion, clearly expecting such a situation. Except for Lin Xuan, they were old friends and didn't need to be polite. Guanghan True Immortal took his seat at an empty spot after exchanging pleasantries.
chú le pèi fú hái shì pèi fú ， zhè xiē huó le shàng bǎi wàn nián de lǎo guài wù ， rén rén guǒ rán dōu yǒu guò rén zhī chù 。
除了佩服还是佩服，这些活了上百万年的老怪物，人人果然都有过人之处。
"This gathering was originally intended to deal with the anomalies in Qingqiu Country. The Light Arcs of Immortals and the Path Revealed—besides Lin Daoist, you all are familiar with these."
xiāng duì yú lín xuān de cuò è ， qí yú sān rén de biǎo qíng què shì píng jìng wú bō ， xiǎn rán zhè zhǒng jǐng kuàng ， tā men zǎo yǐ shì xīn zhōng yǒu shù 。
相对于林轩的错愕，其余三人的表情却是平静无波，显然这种景况，他们早已是心中有数。
"Indeed,"
chú le lín xuān jué qǐ wèi jiǔ 。 tā men sì rén ， nǎi shì xiāng jiāo mò nì de hǎo yǒu 。 zì rán méi yǒu bì yào kè tào ， dǎ guò zhāo hū 。 guǎng hán zhēn rén jiù zài yī zhāng kòng wèi shàng luò zuò 。
除了林轩崛起未久。他们四人，乃是相交莫逆的好友。自然没有必要客套，打过招呼。广寒真人就在一张空位上落座。
The others nodded in agreement.
“ běn gōng zhào jí jǐ wèi dào yǒu ， yuán běn shì wèi le yìng duì qīng qiū zhī guó de yì biàn ， suǒ wèi guāng hú xiān ， xiān lù xiǎn ， wǒ xiǎng chú le lín dào yǒu ， nǐ men jǐ gè dōu shì bìng bù mò shēng de 。”
“本宫召集几位道友，原本是为了应对青丘之国的异变，所谓光弧仙，仙路显，我想除了林道友，你们几个都是并不陌生的。”
"But yesterday, Lin Daoist repeatedly asked me about ancient secrets. Speaking of it, this matter is indeed closely linked to what happened in ancient times. So even if you don't ask, I plan to explain to everyone. However, this matters a great deal; please do not tell anyone else," Rain桐 Fairy's voice carried a sense of seriousness.
“ bù cuò 。”
“不错。”
"Rest assured, we understand."
jǐ rén jiē diǎn le diǎn tóu 。
几人皆点了点头。
Lin Xuan, Guanghan True Immortal, and the Whale King nodded in agreement. Only Nai Long True Immortal showed an unimpressed expression: "Li Yutong, when did you become so wordy? I couldn't possibly talk more."
“ rán ér zuó tiān ， lín dào yǒu què yī zài xún wèn wǒ shàng gǔ yǐn mì ， yào shuō qǐ lái ， yǎn qián de shì qíng 。 yǔ shàng gǔ suǒ fā shēng de yī xiē dōng xī ， yě zhēn yǒu zhe qiān sī wàn lǚ de lián xì ， suǒ yǐ lín dào yǒu biàn shì bù wèn yú wǒ ， běn xiān zi yě dǎ suàn xiàng zhū wèi dào yǒu jiě shuō ， zhǐ shì cǐ shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， dà jiā qiè bù kě zài shuō yǔ bié de rén zhī dào le 。” yǔ tóng xiān zi de shēng yīn ， yǐ dài zhe jǐ fēn shèn zhòng zhī sè 。
“然而昨天，林道友却一再询问我上古隐秘，要说起来，眼前的事情。与上古所发生的一些东西，也真有着千丝万缕的联系，所以林道友便是不问于我，本仙子也打算像诸位道友解说，只是此事非同小可，大家切不可再说与别的人知道了。”雨桐仙子的声音，已带着几分慎重之色。
"Don’t you dare say that..."
“ xiān zi fàng xīn ， wǒ děng xiǎo de 。”
“仙子放心，我等晓得。”
Rain桐 Fairy wasn't backing down either. She glared at Nai Long: "The others don't need instructions; I'm only concerned about you. You won't speak out of turn, right?"
lín xuān ， guǎng hán zhēn rén 。 jù jīng wáng lián lián diǎn tóu ， wéi yǒu nài lóng zhēn rén de liǎn shàng què lù chū bù yǐ wéi rán zhī sè ：“ lǐ yǔ tóng ， nǐ shén me shí hòu biàn dé nà me luō suo ， běn shuài gē yòu zěn me kě néng duō zuǐ duō shé 。”
林轩，广寒真人。巨鲸王连连点头，唯有鼐龙真人的脸上却露出不以为然之色：“李雨桐，你什么时候变得那么啰嗦，本帅哥又怎么可能多嘴多舌。”
"When have I ever spoken out of turn, Li Yutong? Explain it to me."
“ nǐ hái hǎo yì si shuō ……”
“你还好意思说……”
"Brother, why argue over this?"
yǔ tóng xiān zi yě bù shì ruò 。 hěn hěn de dèng le yī yǎn nài lóng ：“ qí tā jǐ wèi dào yǒu qí shí bù yòng zhǔ tuō ， wǒ fàng xīn bù xià de jiù nǐ yí gè ， nǐ bú huì duō zuǐ duō shé 。 zhè huà yě hǎo yì si shuō 。”
雨桐仙子也不示弱。狠狠的瞪了一眼鼐龙：“其他几位道友其实不用嘱托，我放心不下的就你一个，你不会多嘴多舌。这话也好意思说。”
Lin Xuan quickly stepped in to smooth things over. Nai Long True Immortal's antics were unpredictable. Lin Xuan didn’t want any distractions as he was finally about to hear ancient secrets.
“ wǒ shén me shí hòu duō zuǐ duō shé ， lǐ yǔ tóng nǐ gěi wǒ shuō qīng chǔ 。”
“我什么时候多嘴多舌，李雨桐你给我说清楚。”
Of course, Rain桐 Fairy wasn't truly angry.
“ hǎo le dà gē 。 zhēng zhè xiē yǒu shén me yì yì ne ？”
“好了大哥。争这些有什么意义呢？”
Who among the Three Realms didn't know Nai Long’s temper? Arguing with him was just asking for trouble.
lín xuān lián máng dǎ qǐ le yuán chǎng ， nài lóng zhēn rén de hú jiǎo mán chán kě shì bù kàn chǎng hé 。 hǎo bù róng yì yào de wén shàng gǔ yǐn mì ， lín xuān kě bù xiǎng jié wài shēng zhī 。
林轩连忙打起了圆场，鼐龙真人的胡搅蛮缠可是不看场合。好不容易要得闻上古隐秘，林轩可不想节外生枝。
She turned her head: "In ancient times, many events occurred. Most of you are aware, but there were also a few that you might have forgotten due to certain reasons. I'm not sure where to start. Lin Daoist, since you want to know the secrets, why don't you ask questions?"
lǐ yǔ tóng zì rán yě bú shì zhēn de shēng qì 。
李雨桐自然也不是真的生气。
This last sentence was directed at Lin Xuan.
sān jiè zhī zhōng shuí bù zhī dào nài lóng de pí qì ， yǔ tā jiào zhēn ér chún shǔ yǔ zì jǐ guò bù qù 。
三界之中谁不知道鼐龙的脾气，与他较真儿纯属与自己过不去。
"Alright."
tā jiāng qín shǒu zhuǎn guò ：“ shàng gǔ zhī shí ， fā shēng de shì qíng hěn duō ， dà bù fèn ， zài zuò de gè wèi yě qīng chǔ ， rán ér qí zhōng què yě yǒu yī xiǎo bù fèn ， yīn wèi mǒu xiē yuán gù ， nǐ men méi yìn xiàng le ， yī shí jiān ， běn gōng yě bù zhī dào gāi cóng nǎ lǐ shuō qǐ ， zhè yàng ba ， lín dào yǒu ， nǐ jì rán xiǎng yào zhī dào shàng gǔ yǐn mì ， jiù yóu nǐ lái tí wèn tí 。”
她将螓首转过：“上古之时，发生的事情很多，大部分，在座的各位也清楚，然而其中却也有一小部分，因为某些缘故，你们没印象了，一时间，本宫也不知道该从哪里说起，这样吧，林道友，你既然想要知道上古隐秘，就由你来提问题。”
Lin Xuan was overjoyed and didn’t hesitate to bow: "In ancient times, why did King Asura lead阴司ghosts to massacre the Spirit Realm? I heard Nai Long mention that King Asura had good relations with everyone. Just a few months ago, he even drank together and exchanged cultivation insights. How could they turn against each other so quickly?"
zhè zuì hòu yī jù huà ， què shì duì lín xuān shuō dì 。
这最后一句话，却是对林轩说地。
Even Nai Long, Guanghan True Immortal, and the Whale King showed interest in Lin Xuan's question. They had been troubled by this for quite some time.
“ hǎo 。”
“好。”
People have curiosity; they couldn’t avoid it. However, Rain桐 Fairy always remained tight-lipped when asked before. Since she didn't want to say anything, others couldn’t force her. Now that she was willing to explain, everyone naturally paid close attention.
lín xuān dà xǐ ， dāng rán bú huì tuī jù ， qǐ lái shī lǐ ：“ shàng gǔ zhī shí ， ā xiū luó wáng wèi hé huì shuài lǐng yīn sī guǐ wù ， jiāng líng jiè shā le yí gè xuè liú chéng hé ， wǒ kě shì tīng nài lóng shuō guò ， ā xiū luó wáng yuán běn yǔ gè wèi jiāo qíng bù sú ， shù yuè zhī qián ， hái yì qǐ hē jiǔ ， jiāo huàn xiū liàn xīn dé ， zěn me mò guò duō jiǔ ， jiù fān liǎn wú qíng le ne ？”
林轩大喜，当然不会推拒，起来施礼：“上古之时，阿修罗王为何会率领阴司鬼物，将灵界杀了一个血流成河，我可是听鼐龙说过，阿修罗王原本与各位交情不俗，数月之前，还一起喝酒，交换修炼心得，怎么没过多久，就翻脸无情了呢？”
"Lin Daoist's question..."
lín xuān zhè ge wèn tí yī shuō ， biàn shì nài lóng ， guǎng hán ， jù jīng wáng de liǎn shàng yì lù chū guān zhù ， zhè ge wèn tí kùn rǎo tā men tóng yàng hěn jiǔ 。
林轩这个问题一说，便是鼐龙，广寒，巨鲸王的脸上亦露出关注，这个问题困扰他们同样很久。
Rain桐 Fairy sighed: "I truly don’t know where to start. It’s a tangled web; we must delve deep into it, which involves the initial creation of chaos."
rén dōu yǒu hào qí xīn de ， tā men yě wú fǎ miǎn sú ， rán ér yǐ qián xún wèn ， yǔ tóng xiān zi dōu sān jiān qí kǒu ， tā jì rán bù yuàn yì shuō ， bié rén zì rán shì wú kě nài hé ， nán dé tā jīn tiān yuàn yì jiě huò ， dà jiā yòu zěn me kě néng bù dà wèi guān zhù 。
人都有好奇心的，他们也无法免俗，然而以前询问，雨桐仙子都三缄其口，她既然不愿意说，别人自然是无可奈何，难得她今天愿意解惑，大家又怎么可能不大为关注。
"What?"
“ lín dào yǒu zhè ge wèn tí ……”
“林道友这个问题……”
Lin Xuan and his companions exchanged glances. This was too far-fetched—how could King Asura's grudge with the Spirit Realm involve the primordial beginnings?
yǔ tóng xiān zi tàn le kǒu qì ：“ běn gōng hái zhēn bù zhī dào gāi cóng hé shuō qǐ ， dàng zhēn shì qiān tóu wàn xù ， yí dìng yào shēn jiū xià qù ， kě jiù yào shè jí dào hùn dùn chū kāi ， bù ， yīng gāi shì sān qiān shì jiè xíng chéng zhī shí 。”
雨桐仙子叹了口气：“本宫还真不知道该从何说起，当真是千头万绪，一定要深究下去，可就要涉及到混沌初开，不，应该是三千世界形成之时。”
Despite their doubts, Rain桐 Fairy couldn’t be aimless or deceive them.
“ shén me ？”
“什么？”
Thinking this way, Lin Xuan and Guanghan True Immortal’s expressions became even more serious. Even Nai Long put on a solemn face. What Rain桐 Fairy was about to say might be a huge secret; everyone's hearts raced.
lín xuān sì rén miàn miàn xiāng qù ， zhè wèi miǎn yě chě dé tài yuǎn le yī xiē ， ā xiū luó wáng yǔ líng jiè de ēn yuàn ， zěn me hái yào shè jí dào hóng méng chū shǐ 。
林轩四人面面相觑，这未免也扯得太远了一些，阿修罗王与灵界的恩怨，怎么还要涉及到鸿蒙初始。
...
yí huò guī yí huò ， dàn yǔ tóng xiān zi bù kě néng wú dì fàng shǐ ， gèng bù kě néng xìn kǒu cí huáng de qī piàn zì jǐ zhè xiē rén 。
疑惑归疑惑，但雨桐仙子不可能无的放矢，更不可能信口雌黄的欺骗自己这些人。
Meanwhile, several million miles away.
lín xuān guǎng hán zhēn rén děng xiǎng dào cǐ chù ， biǎo qíng gèng jiā de níng zhòng yǐ jí ， biàn shì nài lóng ， yě shōu qǐ le xī xiào de biǎo qíng ， zhèng jīn wēi zuò ， jiē xià lái ， yǔ tóng xiān zi yào jiǎng de ， kǒng pà shì yī tiān dà de yǐn mì ， tā men de xīn tiào ， bù yóu de dōu jiā sù le xiē 。
林轩广寒真人等想到此处，表情更加的凝重以极，便是鼐龙，也收起了嬉笑的表情，正襟危坐，接下来，雨桐仙子要讲的，恐怕是一天大的隐秘，他们的心跳，不由得都加速了些。
More accurately, in another spatial domain, an entirely different world.
yǔ cǐ tóng shí ， jù cǐ bù zhī dào duō shǎo wàn lǐ 。
与此同时，距此不知道多少万里。
It wasn’t the Spirit Realm and didn't belong to the Three Thousand Worlds either but lay between these worlds and the Immortal Realm—a cluster of interfaces.
zhèng què de shuō ， shì lìng wài yī piàn kōng yù ， wán quán bù tóng de shì jiè lǐ 。
正确的说，是另外一片空域，完全不同的世界里。
The term "cluster" was used because each True Spirit Realm could only house one true spirit. For example, Phoenix Realm housed a phoenix, while Black Tortoise Realm had a black tortoise.
zhēn líng kōng jiān 。
真灵空间。
Humans, even those who had transcended their tribulation or were scattered immortals and demon kings, couldn’t enter the True Spirit Realms.
zhòng suǒ zhōu zhī ， zhè bú shì líng jiè ， yě bù shǔ yú sān qiān shì jiè ， ér shì wèi yú zhè xiē shì jiè yǔ xiān jiè zhī jiān de yī qún jiè miàn 。
众所周知，这不是灵界，也不属于三千世界，而是位于这些世界与仙界之间的一群界面。
True spirits were incredibly powerful but not invincible. This was why outsiders could only rarely intrude into the True Spirit Realms, preserving their true spirit flames.
zhī suǒ yǐ shuō qún ， shì yīn wèi měi yí gè zhēn líng zhī jìng ， dōu zhǐ huì jū zhù yí gè zhēn líng 。
之所以说群，是因为每一个真灵之境，都只会居住一个真灵。
However, there were exceptions.
bǐ rú shuō fèng huáng jìng ， nà jū zhù de jiù shì fèng huáng 。
比如说凤凰境，那居住的就是凤凰。
For instance, one of the most powerful true spirits, Jiuyin, originally resided in Jiuyin Realm. Due to King Asura's intrusion, she became his pet.
xuán wǔ jìng ， jū zhù de zé shì xuán wǔ 。
玄武境，居住的则是玄武。
Jiuying, the nine-headed bird, was also killed by King Asura’s anger within her own True Spirit Realm.
ér rén lèi ， nǎ pà shì dù jié qī xiū xiān zhě ， nǎ pà shì sàn xiān yāo wáng ， zhēn mó shǐ zǔ zhè yàng de jué dǐng rén wù ， yě bù néng tà rù zhēn líng zhī jìng lǐ 。
而人类，哪怕是渡劫期修仙者，哪怕是散仙妖王，真魔始祖这样的绝顶人物，也不能踏入真灵之境里。
In other words, the rules of the True Spirit Realms couldn’t stop King Asura.
xiāng duì yú xún cháng xiū shì ， zhēn líng qiáng dà yǐ jí ， dàn bìng fēi wú dí ， yě zhèng shì yīn wèi zhēn líng kōng jiān wài rén nán yǐ shè zú ， suǒ yǐ cái néng bǎo liú xià tā men chuán chéng de zhēn líng zhī huǒ 。
相对于寻常修士，真灵强大以极，但并非无敌，也正是因为真灵空间外人难以涉足，所以才能保留下它们传承的真灵之火。
However, such an exception had only occurred once in ancient times and today broke that record.
rán ér fán shì méi yǒu jué duì yī shuō 。
然而凡事没有绝对一说。
A young man with snow-white hair, his face unusually pale, held an ancient scroll. He moved like a leisurely stroll as he entered the True Spirit Realm.
bǐ rú ， chuán shuō zhōng ， zuì qiáng dà de zhēn líng zhī yī ， jiǔ yīng ， yuán běn jū zhù zài jiǔ yīng zhī jìng lǐ ， kě jiù yīn wèi ā xiū luó wáng de shè zú ， ér pú fú chéng wéi le tā jiǎo xià de chǒng wù 。
比如，传说中，最强大的真灵之一，九婴，原本居住在九婴之境里，可就因为阿修罗王的涉足，而匍匐成为了她脚下的宠物。
More accurately, he arrived at the True Spirit Realm of the Ancient Moon Silkworm Demon.
jiǔ tóu niǎo yě yīn wèi ā xiū luó wáng de fèn nù ， ér zài zì jǐ de zhēn líng kōng jiān ， bèi miè shā le 。
九头鸟也因为阿修罗王的愤怒，而在自己的真灵空间，被灭杀了。
PS: The ancient secrets are about to be revealed, and Peacock will make her comeback soon. Additionally, today is my birthday, but I didn’t have a cake because it was cold outside, and I didn't feel like going out to buy one. (To be continued...)
"This matter is not urgent. Let's discuss it once Guanghan Daoist Friend arrives."
Rain桐 Fairy's melodious voice entered his ears.
"Yes!"
Lin Xuan performed a deep bow, suppressing his overwhelming joy. The other party saying so was an affirmation. After all his efforts, he finally had the chance to hear about ancient secrets.
It wasn't out of curiosity but because it was closely related to Yue'er.
Lin Xuan took his seat, even with his composure, he couldn’t hide his excitement. He took deep breaths before calming down.
Soon, footsteps approached. Guanghan True Immortal moved like a tiger and a dragon, his presence already felt in the air before he arrived:
"Poor Daoist is late again, making several Daoist friends wait for me. Truly sinful."
