yǔ cǐ tóng shí , zhēn líng kōng jiān 。/..
与此同时,真灵空间。/..
Meanwhile, in the True Spirit Realm...
zuò wèi sān qiān shì jiè yǔ xiān jiè zhī jiān de yī qún jiè miàn , zhè lǐ yǐ jīng píng jìng le jǐ bǎi wàn nián 。
做为三千世界与仙界之间的一群界面,这里已经平静了几百万年。
For millions of years, this space, serving as a boundary between the Three Thousand Worlds and the Immortal World, had been tranquil.
zhēn líng yuán běn jiù shì jí wéi qiáng dà de cún zài , zhè piàn kōng yù cháng rén yòu nán yǐ shè zú , chú le zhēn líng zhī jiān ǒu ěr qǐ yī xiē zhēng dòu fēng bō , píng cháng , zhè lǐ dōu shì shí fēn píng jìng de 。
真灵原本就是极为强大的存在,这片空域常人又难以涉足,除了真灵之间偶尔起一些争斗风波,平常,这里都是十分平静的。
True Spirits were immensely powerful beings. This airspace was difficult for ordinary people to enter, so apart from occasional disputes among them, it remained extremely peaceful.
rán ér jiù zài jīn tiān , suǒ yǒu de ān níng xiáng hé dōu bèi dǎ pò 。
然而就在今天,所有的安宁祥和都被打破。
However, today, all the peace and harmony were shattered because of that young man in white robes.
yīn wèi nà bái yī shào nián 。
因为那白衣少年。
In just a day, over ten True Spirits were annihilated, even their True Spirit flames were seized and sealed by him.
bù guò duǎn duǎn de yī tiān , jiù yǒu shí yú tóu zhēn líng bèi miè chú , lián zhēn líng zhī huǒ dōu bèi tā shōu qǔ fēng yìn zhù 。
不过短短的一天,就有十余头真灵被灭除,连真灵之火都被他收取封印住。
It was shocking!
jīng shì hài sú !
惊世骇俗!
While ten True Spirits might not seem like much, such an event had never occurred before. Without their True Spirit flames, the传承s of those True Spirits would have been cut off.
shí yú tóu zhēn líng , tīng qǐ lái bù duō 。
十余头真灵,听起来不多。
A terrifying fiend!
dàn zhè yàng de shì qíng , què cóng wèi fā shēng guò 。
但这样的事情,却从未发生过。
In a short time, all the True Spirits were in a state of alarm and panic.
méi le zhēn líng zhī huǒ , nà xiē zhēn líng de chuán chéng yě jiù xiāng dāng yú duàn jué le 。
没了真灵之火,那些真灵的传承也就相当于断绝了。
At the same time, within the Peacock Realm...
jué shì xiōng mó !
绝世凶魔!
Each True Spirit was an apex powerhouse, but no one had ever made an accurate count of their types. The strength of different kinds of True Spirits varied greatly; which one was the strongest remained unknown to everyone.
yī shí jiān , zhòng zhēn líng fēng shēng hè lì 。
一时间,众真灵风声鹤唳。
Phoenix? True Dragon?
yǔ cǐ tóng shí , kǒng què zhī jìng lǐ 。
与此同时,孔雀之境里。
Not necessarily!
zhēn líng , měi yí gè , dōu shì jué dǐng qiáng zhě , rán ér jiū jìng yǒu duō shǎo zhǒng lèi , què méi yǒu rén zuò guò què qiè de tǒng jì guò 。
真灵,每一个,都是绝顶强者,然而究竟有多少种类,却没有人做过确切的统计过。
Nine-headed Fiend, Evil Dragon, and others were not guaranteed to be invincible against True Spirits either.
ér bù tóng zhǒng lèi de zhēn líng , nà shí lì kěn dìng yě shì qiān chā wàn bié de , jiū jìng nǎ yī zhǒng zhēn líng cái shì zuì qiáng de cún zài , shuí yě bù xiǎo de 。
而不同种类的真灵,那实力肯定也是千差万别的,究竟哪一种真灵才是最强的存在,谁也不晓得。
Clearly, these four beings were among the top in the True Spirit Realm!
fèng huáng , zhēn lóng ?
凤凰,真龙?
In more distant times, there was even a True Spirit that was stronger than them.
wèi bì !
未必!
The Great Peacock Dharmaraja!
jiǔ yīng , niè lóng , yě bù gǎn shuō jiù yí dìng néng gòu héng sǎo zhēn líng wú dí 。
九婴,孽龙,也不敢说就一定能够横扫真灵无敌。
He was the ancestor of bird True Spirits. Phoenixes and Golden-winged Great Pengs originated from him.
bù guò xiǎn rán , zhè sì zhǒng shēng wù , zài zhēn líng zhōng dū shì zuì dǐng jiān de !
不过显然,这四种生物,在真灵中都是最顶尖的!
Of course, it didn't mean that the Great Peacock Dharmaraja was necessarily stronger than today's phoenix as a king of all birds; such comparisons were meaningless. Besides, each generation of True Spirits was different.
ér zài gèng wéi jiǔ yuǎn de shí kè , hái yǒu yī zhǒng zhēn líng shèn zhì bǐ tā men dōu gèng qiáng dà yī xiē 。
而在更为久远的时刻,还有一种真灵甚至比他们都更强大一些。
But the Great Peacock Dharmaraja was one of the strongest True Spirits, and no one would doubt this fact.
kǒng què dà míng wáng !
孔雀大明王!
Unfortunately, the ancestor of bird True Spirits had already gone extinct long ago.
niǎo lèi zhēn líng de shǐ zǔ , fèng huáng yǔ jīn chì dà péng niǎo jiù shì yóu tā yùn yù ér chū 。
鸟类真灵的始祖,凤凰与金翅大鹏鸟就是由它蕴育而出。
Unlike other True Spirits, once a common True Spirit fell, its fellow True Spirits would soon inherit its True Spirit flame. After thousands or even tens of thousands of years of cultivation, they would become new True Spirits.
dāng rán , bìng bú shì shuō kǒng què dà míng wáng jiù yí dìng bǐ rú jīn de bǎi niǎo zhī wáng fèng huáng gèng qiáng dà le , nà zhǒng dōng xī méi fǎ bǐ , qīng chū yú lán ér shèng yú lán yě bù xī qí , hé kuàng měi yí dài zhēn líng běn lái jiù shì bù tóng dì 。
当然,并不是说孔雀大明王就一定比如今的百鸟之王凤凰更强大了,那种东西没法比,青出于蓝而胜于蓝也不稀奇,何况每一代真灵本来就是不同地。
Speaking of something else, today I received news from the game company that *A Thousand Refinements to Immortality* mobile game is now in final debugging stages and will surely meet all of you soon.
dàn kǒng què dà míng wáng shì zuì qiáng dà de zhēn líng zhī yī , zhè yì diǎn , jué bú huì yǒu rén zhì yí 。
但孔雀大明王是最强大的真灵之一,这一点,绝不会有人质疑。
However, after the first Great Peacock fell, time passed by slowly. Over millions of years had gone by without an heir appearing.
kě xī , niǎo lèi zhēn líng de shǐ zǔ 。 zài hěn jiǔ yuǎn de shí kè , jiù yǐ jīng miè jué diào le 。
可惜,鸟类真灵的始祖。在很久远的时刻,就已经灭绝掉了。
No one could fuse with the True Spirit flame of a peacock.
yǔ bié de zhēn líng bù tóng , xún cháng zhēn líng yí dàn yǔn luò , hěn kuài jiù huì yǒu tóng zú jì chéng tā de zhēn líng zhī huǒ , zài jīng guò duǎn zé shù qiān , zhǎng zé wàn nián de xiū liàn , jiù huì chéng wéi xīn yí dài de zhēn líng le 。
与别的真灵不同,寻常真灵一旦陨落,很快就会有同族继承它的真灵之火,再经过短则数千,长则万年的修炼,就会成为新一代的真灵了。
Then, a hundred years ago, an unexpected guest arrived here.
shuō jiàn shì , jīn tiān cóng yóu xì gōng sī dé dào xiāo xī , bǎi liàn chéng xiān de shǒu yóu yǐ jìn rù zuì hòu de tiáo shì , xiāng xìn hěn kuài jiù néng yǔ gè wèi dào yǒu jiàn miàn le 。
说件事,今天从游戏公司得到消息,百炼成仙的手游已进入最后的调试,相信很快就能与各位道友见面了。
She was a young woman in her twenties, with black, lustrous hair reaching down to her waist. She wore a light green dress, with a curvaceous figure and a beautiful face that made her look like the most perfect beauty in the world.
rán ér chū dài kǒng què yǔn luò zhī hòu 。 suì yuè yōu yōu , jǐ bǎi wàn nián yī huǎng ér guò , què yì zhí méi yǒu děng lái jì chéng zhě 。
然而初代孔雀陨落之后。岁月悠悠,几百万年一晃而过,却一直没有等来继承者。
This was a妖族 brought by Phoenix herself. She perfectly fused with the True Spirit flame.
méi yǒu rén néng gòu róng hé kǒng què zhī huǒ 。
没有人能够融合孔雀之火。
Then she fell into a deep sleep.
zhí dào qiān nián zhī qián , zhè lǐ lái le yī wèi bù sù zhī kè 。
直到千年之前,这里来了一位不速之客。
Yes, a deep sleep!
nà shì yī èr shí yú suì de nǚ zǐ , xiù fà wū hēi yóu liàng , zhǎng kě jí yāo , shēn chuān yī shēn qiǎn lǜ sè de qún zhuāng , qū xiàn líng lóng , shēn cái jiāo hǎo 。 pèi shàng měi lì de miàn róng , shuō shì jué dài jiā rén , nà fēn háo yě bù dài kuā zhāng 。
那是一二十余岁的女子,秀发乌黑油亮,长可及腰,身穿一身浅绿色的裙装,曲线玲珑,身材姣好。配上美丽的面容,说是绝代佳人,那分毫也不带夸张。
The传承 of the Great Peacock was different from ordinary True Spirits; once one fused with its True Spirit flame, they didn't need to cultivate further. They just needed to absorb the power slowly over time.
zhè shì yī wèi yāo zú , yóu fèng huáng qīn zì dài lái cǐ chù 。 ér tā wán měi de róng hé le zhēn líng zhī huǒ 。
这是一位妖族,由凤凰亲自带来此处。而她完美的融合了真灵之火。
Of course, this process took a thousand years.
suí hòu biàn xiàn rù le chén shuì zhī zhōng 。
随后便陷入了沉睡之中。
After all, the Great Peacock Dharmaraja was one of the strongest True Spirits, and the传承passed down by him was incredibly powerful.
méi cuò , chén shuì !
没错,沉睡!
During this entire process, the inheritor would fall into a deep sleep.
kǒng què de chuán chéng yǔ xún cháng zhēn líng bù tóng , róng hé zhēn líng zhī huǒ hòu bù xū yào xiū liàn , zhǐ xū yào róng hé 。 màn màn de jí qǔ lì liàng jiù kě yǐ le 。
孔雀的传承与寻常真灵不同,融合真灵之火后不需要修炼,只需要融合。慢慢的汲取力量就可以了。
In the temple of the Peacock Realm, a large cocoon hovered there. The cocoon was over ten zhang high, semi-transparent, allowing faint glimpses of an exceptionally beautiful woman sleeping inside. Numerous intricate符文interwoven into a beautiful and mysterious light array shone through its surface.
dāng rán , zhè ge guò chéng shì hěn huǎn màn de , xū yào qiān nián 。
当然,这个过程是很缓慢的,需要千年。
The expression on the Great Peacock's face was peaceful and serene. The True Spirit flame in her palm had shrunk to just a tiny bean-sized point. With her exceptional资质, she had absorbed more than ninety percent of the Great Peacock Dharmaraja's传承in a thousand years and would soon reach the stage of full perfection.
bì jìng kǒng què dà míng wáng shì zuì qiáng de zhēn líng zhī yī 。 chuán chéng xià lái de lì liàng qiáng hèng wú bǐ 。
毕竟孔雀大明王是最强的真灵之一。传承下来的力量强横无比。
However, at this moment, a sigh entered his ears. A young man in white robes with an unusually pale complexion held an ancient book in his hands as he strolled into the Peacock Realm.
ér zài zhěng gè guò chéng zhōng , chuán chéng zhě huì xiàn rù chén shuì de jìng dì 。
而在整个过程中,传承者会陷入沉睡的境地。
Danger!
cǐ kè zài kǒng què zhī jìng de shén diàn lǐ , yí gè jù dà de jiǎn jiù xuán fú zài nà lǐ 。
此刻在孔雀之境的神殿里,一个巨大的茧就悬浮在那里。
...
cán jiǎn gāo shí zhàng yǒu yú , shì bàn tòu míng dì , yǐn yǐn kě yǐ kàn jiàn lǐ miàn chén shuì yǒu yī wèi jué sè měi nǚ , ér cán jiǎn de biǎo miàn , zé yǒu wǔ sè líng máng tòu shè , wú shù xì mì de fú wén , jiāo dié chéng měi lì ér shén mì de guāng zhèn 。
蚕茧高十丈有余,是半透明地,隐隐可以看见里面沉睡有一位绝色美女,而蚕茧的表面,则有五色灵芒透射,无数细密的符文,交叠成美丽而神秘的光阵。
This was someone Lin Xuan did not know. At that moment, he was in the Kingdom of Azure Peaks, sitting among numerous great cultivators to hear Fairy Rain桐reveal ancient secrets.
kǒng què de biǎo qíng ān níng xiáng hé , tā shǒu xīn suǒ pěng zhe de zhēn líng zhī huǒ yǐ jǐn shèng xià dòu lì dà xiǎo de yì diǎn le , qí zī zhì bù sú , qiān nián de guāng yīn , yǐ jiāng kǒng què dà míng wáng de chuán chéng jí qǔ le jiǔ chéng hái duō , hěn kuài jiù yào dào gōng dé yuán mǎn de dì bù 。
孔雀的表情安宁祥和,她手心所捧着的真灵之火已仅剩下豆粒大小的一点了,其资质不俗,千年的光阴,已将孔雀大明王的传承汲取了九成还多,很快就要到功德圆满的地步。
The Immortal True Man had stolen the Blue Star Sea. The vastness of the Spirit World left a dozen True Immortals at a loss, so they devised a strategy to turn the tables and accused the True Man of being the instigator who stole the Blue Star Sea for personal gain, thus preventing all existences in the Three Thousand Worlds from ascending to immortality.
rán ér jiù zài zhè shí , tàn xī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ , bái yī shì xuě , yī liǎn sè yì cháng cāng bái de shào nián , shǒu zhōng pěng zhe yī gǔ piáo de shū juàn , rú xián tíng xìn bù yì bān , lái dào le kǒng què zhī jìng lǐ miàn 。
然而就在这时,叹息声传入耳朵,白衣似雪,一脸色异常苍白的少年,手中捧着一古朴的书卷,如闲庭信步一般,来到了孔雀之境里面。
As the saying goes, many tongues can melt gold, and accumulated lies can destroy bones. With everyone saying the same thing, no one doubted it, and the entire Spirit World was furious...
wēi xiǎn !
危险!
However, when Lin Xuan heard this, he became puzzled: "Fairy, even if those dozen True Immortals said so, countless wise beings exist in the Spirit World. Surely someone must have noticed something amiss?"
……
……
"Moreover, not long ago, the Demons of the Outer Realms invaded the Three Realms. The True Immortals were the ones who started it, but they remained hidden behind the scenes, misleading those demons to open the interface channels without ever facing us directly. Therefore, no one knew that all this was their plot."
zhè wèi yī qiè lín xuān bìng bù xiǎo de , cǐ shí cǐ kè , tā zhèng dài zài qīng qiū zhī guó , yǔ yī zhòng dà néng wéi zuò zài yì qǐ , tīng yǔ tóng xiān zi jiē xiǎo shàng gǔ yǐn mì 。
这位一切林轩并不晓得,此时此刻,他正待在青丘之国,与一众大能围坐在一起,听雨桐仙子揭晓上古隐秘。
"Ah, I see," the Dragon True Man and others nodded in agreement. What puzzled them was why they couldn't recall any of this memory.
huà yǔ zhēn rén dào zǒu le lán sè xīng hǎi , líng jiè guǎng mào de miàn jī , ràng nà shí jǐ míng zhēn xiān shù shǒu wú cè , yú shì tā men xiǎng chū le yī fǔ dǐ chōu xīn zhī cè , diān dǎo hēi bái , fǎn ér shuō huà yǔ zhēn rén tú móu bù guǐ , wèi le yī jǐ zhī sī , dào zǒu lán sè xīng hǎi yòng yú xiū liàn , cóng ér ràng sān qiān shì jiè de cún zài dōu bù néng fēi shēng chéng xiān 。
化羽真人盗走了蓝色星海,灵界广袤的面积,让那十几名真仙束手无策,于是他们想出了一釜底抽薪之策,颠倒黑白,反而说化羽真人图谋不轨,为了一己之私,盗走蓝色星海用于修炼,从而让三千世界的存在都不能飞升成仙。
Fairy Rain桐continued: "Regarding the Outer Realm Demons you mentioned earlier, as you said, the True Immortals were the ones who started it, but they remained hidden behind the scenes, persuading Flying Demon Ancestor, Voidness, and King Vagueness, among a few other supreme beings. They never directly confronted us."
sú huà shuō , zhòng kǒu shuò jīn , jī huǐ xiāo gǔ , shí yú míng zhēn xiān rén rén dōu zhè me shuō , dà jiā zì rán bù yí yǒu tā le , yú shì zhěng gè líng jiè dōu shí fēn fèn nù ……
俗话说,众口铄金,积毁销骨,十余名真仙人人都这么说,大家自然不疑有他了,于是整个灵界都十分愤怒……
"Ah, I see," Lin Xuan nodded, another doubt cleared from his mind.
rán ér tīng dào zhè lǐ , lín xuān què yǒu xiē yí huò :“ xiān zi , zòng rán nà shí yú míng jiàng lín de zhēn xiān dōu zhè me shuō , kě líng jiè zhì zhě wú shù , nán dào jiù méi yǒu yí gè rén kàn chū qí zhōng de duān ní me ?”
然而听到这里,林轩却有些疑惑:“仙子,纵然那十余名降临的真仙都这么说,可灵界智者无数,难道就没有一个人看出其中的端倪么?”
Through Fairy Rain桐's narration, the plot of the True Immortals was gradually revealed before their eyes.
“ hé kuàng bù jiǔ qián , yù wài tiān mó céng jīng rù qīn sān jiè , zhēn xiān men zuò wèi shǐ zuò yǒng zhě , nán dào tā men de yīn móu jiù yì diǎn dōu méi yǒu bài lù ?”
“何况不久前,域外天魔曾经入侵三界,真仙们做为始作俑者,难道他们的阴谋就一点都没有败露?”
By turning the tables, even with the vastness of the Spirit World, this lie could drive countless cultivators to serve them. As local cultivators, they had the advantage of timing, location, and support, making it easier for them to find the True Man of Feather Transformation.
“ dào lǐ shì zhè yàng de 。” tīng le lín xuān de zhì yí , yǔ tóng xiān zi què zhǐ shèng xià tàn xī :“ yú lǐ , wǒ men shì yīng gāi fā xiàn yī xiē bù tuǒ , kě ……”
“道理是这样的。”听了林轩的置疑,雨桐仙子却只剩下叹息:“于理,我们是应该发现一些不妥,可……”
(To be continued...)
Meanwhile, in the True Spirit Realm...
