bīng pò shǐ zǔ ， wén wǔ shuāng quán 。⊕ dǐng ⊕ diǎn ⊕ xiǎo ⊕ shuō ，
冰魄始祖，文武双全。⊕顶⊕点⊕小⊕说，
Ice Soul Ancestor, a master in both martial and scholarly arts.
bù jǐn shí lì guān jué mó jiè ， zhì huì yì ràng rén zhé fú ， chú le jī yuán qiǎo hé ， céng zài lín xuān shǒu xià chī guò yī xiē kǔ ， xiàng lái de biǎo qíng dōu shì zhì zhū zài wò 。
不仅实力冠绝魔界，智慧亦让人折服，除了机缘巧合，曾在林轩手下吃过一些苦，向来的表情都是智珠在握。
Not only did he excel in power that overshadowed the Demon Realm, but his wisdom was also awe-inspiring. Apart from coincidental encounters where he had tasted some bitterness under Lin Xuan's hand, his usual expression always conveyed an air of supreme confidence.
rán ér cǐ kè ， tā zhēn de dà jīng shī sè ：“ nán dào zhè ge chuán shuō ， bìng bú shì zhēn de ， ér shì nǐ men jīng xīn cè huà de guǐ jì me ？”
然而此刻，她真的大惊失色：“难道这个传说，并不是真的，而是你们精心策划的诡计么？”
However, at this moment, she truly appeared shocked: "Could it be that this legend isn't true and is merely a cunning plot you've devised?"
“ bù kě néng ， zhè chuán shuō kě shì ā xiū luó wáng dāng nián ， qīn kǒu duì wǒ suǒ shuō ， jiù suàn nǐ men néng gòu piàn guò wǒ ， yě jué duì mán bù liǎo tā de 。”
“不可能，这传说可是阿修罗王当年，亲口对我所说，就算你们能够骗过我，也绝对瞒不了她的。”
"Impossible," replied the White Star Sword Immortal. "This legend was personally told to me by King Asura himself. Even if you could deceive me, there's no way she would fall for such a trick."
bīng pò zì yán zì yǔ de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， liǎn shàng què huī fù le zhèn dìng zhī sè 。
冰魄自言自语的声音传入耳朵，脸上却恢复了镇定之色。
The White Star Sword Immortal's cold voice echoed in her ears, his tone exuding an air of unmatched triumph.
zěn me néng yīn wèi duì fāng yī yán jiù luàn le fāng cùn ne ？
怎么能因为对方一言就乱了方寸呢？
With a wave of his sleeves, the sound of breaking through space filled the air, though no sword light flickered. Yet, in an instant, the void was inexplicably pierced with countless holes.
huò xǔ ， zhè yuán běn jiù shì duì fāng de gōng xīn zhī cè 。
或许，这原本就是对方的攻心之策。
"Ice Soul, among the Three Thousand Worlds, your strength might not be number one, but you can certainly rank among the top five. Even ordinary True Immortals cannot match you. Can you withstand this formless sword qi?"
“ hēi hēi ， xìn bù xìn yóu nǐ ， wǒ xiǎng ， xiàn zài hěn duō rén yǐ zhǎo dào le jiǔ tiān xī rǎng de xiàn suǒ ， zhèng xīn jí huǒ liáo de gǎn qù sòng sǐ lái zhe ， zhēn shì yī qún chǔn huò ， zhì yú nǐ bīng pò ， kàn zài wǒ men xiāng shí yī cháng de fèn shàng ， jiù yóu běn xiān qīn zì sòng nǐ shàng lù rú hé ？”
“嘿嘿，信不信由你，我想，现在很多人已找到了九天息壤的线索，正心急火燎的赶去送死来着，真是一群蠢货，至于你冰魄，看在我们相识一场的份上，就由本仙亲自送你上路如何？”
"Formless sword qi?"
tài bái jiàn xiān bīng lěng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yǔ diào yǔ qì ， què shì dé yì dào wú kě fù jiā de chéng dù 。
太白剑仙冰冷的声音传入耳朵，语调语气，却是得意到无可附加的程度。
Ice Soul immediately sensed a great peril; it was far more than simply making his divine sword invisible.
suí hòu xiù páo yī fú ， pò kōng shēng dà zuò ， rán ér què méi yǒu jiàn máng shǎn shuò ， kě yī shùn jiān ， xū kōng què mò míng qí miào de bèi cì dé qiān chuāng bǎi kǒng le 。
随后袖袍一拂，破空声大做，然而却没有剑芒闪烁，可一瞬间，虚空却莫名其妙的被刺得千疮百孔了。
What people called "formless sword qi" did not involve summoning any flying swords or similar items. Instead, it utilized his formidable strength to directly command the laws of nature and transform them into sword qi.
“ bīng pò ， sān qiān shì jiè zhōng ， nǐ de shí lì jiù suàn bú shì dì yī ， kǒng pà yě néng pái jìn qián wǔ ， pǔ tōng zhēn xiān yě dí nǐ bù guò ， kě nǐ dǎng dé zhù zhè wú xíng jiàn qì me ？”
“冰魄，三千世界中，你的实力就算不是第一，恐怕也能排进前五，普通真仙也敌你不过，可你挡得住这无形剑气么？”
This formless sword qi moved without trace, leaving no sound behind.
“ wú xíng jiàn qì ？”
“无形剑气？”
Suddenly, Ice Soul stopped moving, raising her hand as a towering ice mountain sprang up from the ground with a loud crash.
bīng pò dùn shí gǎn jué dào le jù dà de wēi jī ， zhè dāng rán bú shì jiǎn dān de jiāng xiān jiàn yǐn xíng ér yǐ 。
冰魄顿时感觉到了巨大的危机，这当然不是简单的将仙剑隐形而已。
The ice mountain was pierced through, but the coldness eroded its interior, revealing the path of the sword qi which shot towards her head like a fierce wind and sudden rain.
suǒ wèi wú xíng jiàn qì ， gēn běn jiù méi yǒu jì chū fēi jiàn yī lèi de dōng xī ， ér shì yǐ qiáng hèng shí lì ， zhí jiē jià yù tiān dì fǎ zé ， jiāng qí huà wèi jiàn qì 。
所谓无形剑气，根本就没有祭出飞剑一类的东西，而是以强横实力，直接驾驭天地法则，将其化为剑气。
This strike condensed dozens of laws into a single sword qi, its power indescribable.
dòng jìng zhī jiān ， wú jì kě xún ， cǐ wèi wú xíng jiàn qì 。
动静之间，无迹可寻，此为无形剑气。
However, Ice Soul did not dodge; her expression remained calm.
guāng shì jiě shuō jiù fán fù yǐ jí ， gèng bié shuō liàn chéng 。 xū yào duō dà de yì lì 。
光是解说就繁复以极，更别说练成。需要多大的毅力。
Raising her right hand, her fingers curled gracefully as if plucking a delicate flower, she effortlessly caught the sword qi.
zhè tài bái jiàn xiān bù kuì shì zhēn xiān zhōng jǐn cì yú dào zǔ de jǐ dà qiáng zhě zhī yī ， nán chán wú bǐ 。
这太白剑仙不愧是真仙中仅次于道祖的几大强者之一，难缠无比。
"Hmm..."
bīng pò jué měi de liǎn shàng mǎn shì níng zhòng zhī yì ， yě míng bái zhè yī cì shì yù jiàn le jìng dí 。
冰魄绝美的脸上满是凝重之意，也明白这一次是遇见了劲敌。
The White Star Sword Immortal was visibly startled: "Impossible. You actually managed to catch my strike with your bare hands?"
yù shǒu yī wǔ ， zhěng gè tiān kōng dùn shí biàn dé àn dàn le xǔ duō ， é máo dà xuě yóu sì miàn bā fāng piāo luò ， qǐng kè zhī jiān ， zhè lǐ jiù huà zuò yí wàng wú jì de bīng yuán le 。
玉手一舞，整个天空顿时变得暗淡了许多，鹅毛大雪由四面八方飘落，顷刻之间，这里就化作一望无际的冰原了。
"Ha, what's impossible? In my domain, I am the master. Since this formless sword qi is a manifestation of laws, how can it not be under my control within my domain?"
“ hēng ， bīng fēng qiān lǐ ， yǐ nǐ rú jīn de shí lì ， jiù suàn dòng jié yǔ zhòu zhōng de jǐ kē xīng qiú yě méi yǒu wèn tí 。 dàn jǐn jǐn rú cǐ ， hái shì dǎng bú zhù wǒ de wú xíng jiàn qì 。”
“哼，冰封千里，以你如今的实力，就算冻结宇宙中的几颗星球也没有问题。但仅仅如此，还是挡不住我的无形剑气。”
Ice Soul's eyes now held a mocking glint.
tài bái jiàn xiān lěng xiào de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
太白剑仙冷笑的声音传入耳朵。
"What, in my domain, I am the master? When did you set up your domain? Moreover, opening a domain consumes massive amounts of mana every moment. Even Dao An Tianxiang would need to do so, but this seems more like a spirit realm than a true domain. What is this?"
fǎng fú yào yìn zhèng tā suǒ shuō ， bīng pò xiān zi bìng méi yǒu xuán fú yú mǒu chù ， ér shì bù tíng de zuò zhe bù guī zé de nuó yí ， fǎng fú zài duǒ cáng shén me dōng xī 。
仿佛要印证他所说，冰魄仙子并没有悬浮于某处，而是不停的做着不规则的挪移，仿佛在躲藏什么东西。
The White Star Sword Immortal looked around in confusion and even began speaking incoherently.
kě jiàn jiàn de ， pò kōng shēng yě xiǎo le xià qù 。
可渐渐的，破空声也小了下去。
But quickly, his expression turned grave: "Combining the spirit realm with a true domain—truly a genius idea. By leveraging the characteristics of the spirit realm, one can minimize mana consumption. However, there's always a trade-off, so such a domain must have fatal flaws hidden within it. Otherwise, you wouldn't need to spend so much time breaking through my formless sword qi."
suǒ wèi wú xíng jiàn qì ， zì rán shì néng gòu zuò dào wú zhì wú xíng dì ， méi yǒu le shēng yīn ， jiù gèng jiā de wú jì kě xún 。
所谓无形剑气，自然是能够做到无质无形地，没有了声音，就更加的无迹可寻。
"Indeed, no wonder you're a True Immortal. You figured out the flaw in my domain so easily," Ice Soul's cold voice echoed. "But what if I know your domain has weaknesses? Theoretically, one can break it, but practically, only those who can actually do it can succeed."
tū rán 。 bīng pò tíng xià le nuó yí ， shǒu yī tái ， yī zuò wàn zhàng gāo de bīng shān bá dì ér qǐ ， hōng 。 yī shēng jù xiǎng chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
突然。冰魄停下了挪移，手一抬，一座万丈高的冰山拔地而起，轰。一声巨响传入耳朵。
"And speaking of Tianxiang... that fellow has become a Dao An?"
nà bīng shān bèi guàn chuān ér guò ， dàn bèi hán qì qīn shí ， lǐ miàn de jiàn qì yě xiǎn chū le xíng jì ， xiàng zhe bīng pò de tóu lú jī shè ér qù 。
那冰山被贯穿而过，但被寒气侵蚀，里面的剑气也显出了行迹，向着冰魄的头颅激射而去。
"Hmph, gloating too early. Don't think you're the only one with techniques; as for Dao An's matters, why should a dying lowly power bother?"
rú jí fēng 。 shì zhòu yǔ ， zhè yī jī ， nǎi shì shù shí zhǒng fǎ zé níng jié ér chéng de jiàn qì 。 wēi lì zì rán shì nán yǐ yán yù 。
如疾风。似骤雨，这一击，乃是数十种法则凝结而成的剑气。威力自然是难以言喻。
"Going to die? Are you referring to yourself?" Ice Soul retorted.
rán ér bīng pò què zài méi yǒu duǒ ， tā de biǎo qíng píng jìng wú bō 。
然而冰魄却再没有躲，她的表情平静无波。
"You know nothing."
yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， yù zhǐ ruò lán ， jū rán qīng qīng de jiāng nà jiàn qì zhuō zhù 。
右手抬起，玉指若兰，居然轻轻的将那剑气捉住。
The White Star Sword Immortal was already furious. With another wave of his sleeves, he truly summoned a treasure—a mountain, no, not a real one but countless swords of varying sizes and shapes stacked together into an immense mountain towering thousands of feet high.
“ zhè ……”
“这……”
Considering the volume, it would take billions of divine swords to form such a structure.
tài bái jiàn xiān sǒng rán dòng róng ：“ bù kě néng ， nǐ jū rán néng gòu tú shǒu jiē xià wǒ zhè yī jī ？”
太白剑仙悚然动容：“不可能，你居然能够徒手接下我这一击？”
No, billions was a conservative estimate; perhaps tens or even hundreds of billions. In any case, this was a massive number.
“ hēng ， yǒu shén me bù kě néng de ， wǒ de lǐng yù wǒ zuò zhǔ ， zhè wú xíng jiàn qì jì rán shì fǎ zé suǒ huà ， zài wǒ de lǐng yù zhōng ， yòu zěn me kě néng bù rèn yóu wǒ qū cè ？”
“哼，有什么不可能的，我的领域我做主，这无形剑气既然是法则所化，在我的领域中，又怎么可能不任由我驱策？”
Without witnessing it firsthand, one could hardly imagine someone commanding so many divine swords and treasures. Yet, with a loud sound of breaking through space, sharp sword lights surged towards Ice Soul.
zhè cì ， huàn zuò bīng pò de yǎn shén ， biàn dé cháo fěng qǐ lái le 。
这次，换做冰魄的眼神，变得嘲讽起来了。
This time, it wasn't formless sword qi but an overwhelming display of actual sword lights, not just like a forest of blades but densely packed without gaps, leaving no room for evasion.
“ shén me ， wǒ de lǐng yù wǒ zuò zhǔ ， nǐ shén me shí hòu bù zhì xià lǐng yù le ， hé kuàng zhāng kāi lǐng yù ， měi yī shùn jiān ， dōu yào xiāo hào hǎi liàng de fǎ lì ， jiù suàn shì tián xiāng dào zǔ ， děng děng ， zhè hǎo xiàng shì líng yù ， bú duì ， yòu xiàng shì lǐng yù ， zhè …… zhè jiū jìng shì shén me dōng xī ？”
“什么，我的领域我做主，你什么时候布置下领域了，何况张开领域，每一瞬间，都要消耗海量的法力，就算是田襄道祖，等等，这好像是灵域，不对，又像是领域，这……这究竟是什么东西？”
The纵横捭阖 refers to a strategy of maneuvering and influencing people or situations through various means, often used in political or business contexts. In a more direct translation, it can be expressed as:纵横捭阖: maneuvering and influence tacticsof the sword lights seemed capable of destroying everything in their path.
tài bái jiàn xiān yóu mù sì gù ， shuō huà jū rán yě biàn dé diān sān dǎo sì qǐ lái le 。
太白剑仙游目四顾，说话居然也变得颠三倒四起来了。
Ice Soul's expression changed drastically; even if she was the master of her domain, she understood that absolute power could crush all things.
dàn hěn kuài ， biǎo qíng yòu biàn dé níng zhòng ：“ jiāng líng yù yǔ lǐng yù jié hé ， zhè hái zhēn shì tiān cái de zhǔ yì ， jié hé líng yù de tè diǎn ， kě yǐ jǐn liàng xiǎo de xiāo hào fǎ lì ， dàn yǒu shī jiù yǒu dé ， fǎn guò lái yì shì yī yàng de ， zhè yàng de lǐng yù ， bì dìng shì bù wán zhěng de ， yí dìng yǒu shén me zhì mìng de ruò diǎn qián cáng zhe ， fǒu zé ， nǐ yě bù xū yào huā nà me jiǔ de shí jiān ， cái pò jiě diào wǒ de wú xíng jiàn qì le 。”
但很快，表情又变得凝重：“将灵域与领域结合，这还真是天才的主意，结合灵域的特点，可以尽量小的消耗法力，但有失就有得，反过来亦是一样的，这样的领域，必定是不完整的，一定有什么致命的弱点潜藏着，否则，你也不需要花那么久的时间，才破解掉我的无形剑气了。”
A domain wasn't invincible—otherwise, two domain masters wouldn’t need to fight each other.
“ guǒ rán bù kuì shì zhēn xiān zhōng de qiáng zhě ， zhè me jiǎn dān jiù bèi nǐ kàn chuān le ， bù guò míng bái wǒ zhè ge lǐng yù yǒu ruò diǎn yòu rú hé ， lǐ lùn shàng néng gòu pò jiě yǔ shí jì shì nà ge néng gòu pò jiě shì liǎng huí shì de 。” bīng pò lěng xiào de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， kě shuō dào hòu miàn ， biǎo qíng yòu biàn dé líng lì ：“ hái yǒu ， nǐ gāng cái shuō shén me ， tián xiāng …… nà jiā huo yǐ chéng wéi le dào zǔ ？”
“果然不愧是真仙中的强者，这么简单就被你看穿了，不过明白我这个领域有弱点又如何，理论上能够破解与实际是那个能够破解是两回事的。”冰魄冷笑的声音传入耳朵，可说到后面，表情又变得凌厉：“还有，你刚才说什么，田襄……那家伙已成为了道祖？”
But Ice Soul showed no fear. Swinging her hand, the snowflakes turned into countless ice blades as thin as cicada wings but incredibly hard.
“ hēng ， dé yì shén me ， nǐ bú huì yǐ wéi ， běn xiān zhǐ huì wú xíng jiàn qì zhè yī zhǒng gōng fu ， zhì yú dào zǔ dào dà rén de shì qíng ， nǐ yí gè jiāng yào yǔn luò de xià jiè dà néng ， yòu hé bì guān xīn ne ？”
“哼，得意什么，你不会以为，本仙只会无形剑气这一种功夫，至于道祖道大人的事情，你一个将要陨落的下界大能，又何必关心呢？”
Like a fierce wind and sudden rain, they swept towards the myriad divine swords.
“ jiāng yào yǔn luò ， shì shuō nǐ zì jǐ me ？” bīng pò fǎn chún xiāng jī de shuō 。
“将要陨落，是说你自己么？”冰魄反唇相讥的说。
Instantly, clashing sounds filled the air.
“ bù zhī sǐ huó 。”
“不知死活。”
Meanwhile, on another side, the Dragon King and his opponent were also determining their victor.
tài bái jiàn xiān yǐ shì bó rán dà nù ， xiù páo yī fú ， zhè yī cì shì zhēn zhèng jì qǐ le bǎo wù 。
太白剑仙已是勃然大怒，袖袍一拂，这一次是真正祭起了宝物。
The white-bearded immortal was no slouch in power, yet he fell short of the White Star Sword Immortal's level. The latter had killed a thousand enemies but lost eight hundred as well—his current state. (To be continued...)
Ice Soul Ancestor, a master in both martial and scholarly arts.
Not only did he excel in power that overshadowed the Demon Realm, but his wisdom was also awe-inspiring. Apart from coincidental encounters where he had tasted some bitterness under Lin Xuan's hand, his usual expression always conveyed an air of supreme confidence.
