“ bāo hán jì yì de yì diǎn yuán shén ？” tián xiǎo jiàn yǐ shǒu fǔ é ， yǎn zhōng yǐn yǒu yì máng shǎn shuò ：“ nà wǒ men de běn tǐ dào nǎ lǐ qù le ？”
“包含记忆的一点元神？”田小剑以手抚额，眼中隐有异芒闪烁：“那我们的本体到哪里去了？”
"An essence soul with memories?" Tian Xiaojian rubbed his forehead, a hint of strange light flickering in his eyes: "Then where are our original bodies?"
“ yīn wèi ā xiū luó wáng nì zhuǎn le xiān líng tōng dào de yuán gù ， zhè xiē nián ， wǒ men yì zhí bèi kùn zài zhēn xiān jiè zhōng ， rú jīn hǎo bù róng yì tuō kùn ér chū ， wǒ men de běn tǐ ， zì rán shì qù jì liàn yī jiàn bǎo wù 。”
“因为阿修罗王逆转了仙灵通道的缘故，这些年，我们一直被困在真仙界中，如今好不容易脱困而出，我们的本体，自然是去祭炼一件宝物。”
"Due to King Asura reversing the仙灵通道, we've been trapped in the True Immortal Realm for these years. Now that we have finally escaped, our original bodies naturally went to refine a treasure."
“ jì liàn bǎo wù ？”
“祭炼宝物？”
"Refine a treasure?"
“ bù cuò ， wàn juàn tiān shū 。”
“不错，万卷天书。”
"Yes, the Ten Thousand Volume Heavenly Book."
huò xǔ shì yīn wèi duì zhe zì jǐ de yuán gù ， nà kuǐ lěi sī háo fáng bèi yě wú ， zhī wú bù yán ， yán wú bù jìn ， hěn kuài ， tián xiǎo jiàn jiù liǎo jiě liǎo shì qíng de shǐ mò 。
或许是因为对着自己的缘故，那傀儡丝毫防备也无，知无不言，言无不尽，很快，田小剑就了解了事情的始末。
Perhaps because it was addressing him directly, the puppet showed no defenses and spoke freely: quickly, Tian Xiaojian understood the whole story.
“ yuán lái shì zhè yàng me ……”
“原来是这样么……”
"So this is how it is..."
tián xiǎo jiàn yǐ shǒu fǔ é ， liǎn shàng lù chū chén yín zhī sè ：“ nà nǐ dào zhè lǐ shì wèi le ……”
田小剑以手抚额，脸上露出沉吟之色：“那你到这里是为了……”
Tian Xiaojian rubbed his forehead, showing deep thought on his face: "Then why are you here?"
“ zhè hái yòng shuō ， nǐ de rèn wù yǐ jīng jié shù ， shì shí hòu yīng gāi zhòng huí běn tǐ le 。”
“这还用说，你的任务已经结束，是时候应该重回本体了。”
"This goes without saying. Your task has ended; it's time to return to your original body."
nà kuǐ lěi de liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī rè qiè zhī sè ：“ dāng nián fēn hún zhī shí ， céng zài nǐ shēn shàng zhòng xià mì shù ， nǐ zì jǐ bìng bù xiǎo de ， bù guò méi guān xì ， zhǐ yào yǔ běn tǐ róng hé ， lì kè jiù néng gòu zhī dào huà yǔ de zhuǎn shì zhī rén zài nǎ lǐ le 。”
那傀儡的脸上露出一丝热切之色：“当年分魂之时，曾在你身上种下秘术，你自己并不晓得，不过没关系，只要与本体融合，立刻就能够知道化羽的转世之人在哪里了。”
The puppet's expression turned eager: "When we split our souls in the past, I planted a secret technique on you. You didn't know about it, but never mind. As long as you merge with the original body, you'll instantly know where Huayu’s reincarnation is."
“ shì me ？” tián xiǎo jiàn què xiào qǐ lái le ：“ wǒ xiāng xìn nǐ shuō de huà bù jiǎ ， dàn zhì shǐ zhì zhōng ， nǐ dōu bù céng wèn guò ， běn shào yé shì fǒu yuàn yì a ！”
“是么？”田小剑却笑起来了：“我相信你说的话不假，但至始至终，你都不曾问过，本少爷是否愿意啊！”
"Is that so?" Tian Xiaojian laughed: "I believe what you say, but from start to finish, you never asked if I was willing!"
“ nǐ zhè huà hé yì ？” nà kuǐ lěi de biǎo qíng dà qí ， yǐn yǐn dài zhe jǐ fēn jǐng tì ：“ yǔ běn tǐ róng hé ， chéng wéi zhēn xiān zhī zhōng de dì yī qiáng zhě ， hé kuàng nǐ wǒ běn shì yī tǐ ， zhè yàng de hǎo shì yǒu shén me bù yuàn yì ？”
“你这话何意？”那傀儡的表情大奇，隐隐带着几分警惕：“与本体融合，成为真仙之中的第一强者，何况你我本是一体，这样的好事有什么不愿意？”
"What do you mean by that?" The puppet's expression was greatly surprised and slightly wary: "Merging with the original body will make you the top power in the True Immortal Realm. Besides, we are one entity—what could be more agreeable?"
“ hǎo shì me ？” tián xiǎo jiàn de biǎo qíng què shì bù yǐ wéi rán de ：“ nà bù guò shì nǐ de yí miàn zhī cí bà le ， wǒ jiù shì wǒ ， tián xiāng shén me ， yǔ wǒ sī háo guān xì yě wú ！”
“好事么？”田小剑的表情却是不以为然的：“那不过是你的一面之词罢了，我就是我，田襄什么，与我丝毫关系也无！”
"Agreeable?" Tian Xiaojian’s expression showed disdain: "That is just your one-sided opinion. I am me, Tian Xiang, and nothing to do with you!"
shuō dào zhè lǐ ， tā de zuǐ jiǎo biān yǐ mǎn shì lěng cháo zhī sè ：“ shuō qǐ lái běn shào yé de yùn qì dàng zhēn bù cuò ， ruò shì tián xiāng qīn zhì ， wǒ zì rán wú kě nài hé ， dàn nǐ qū qū yí gè kuǐ lěi ， yě xiǎng yào jiāng wǒ róng hé ， wèi miǎn ràng rén xiào diào dà yá le ……”
说到这里，他的嘴角边已满是冷嘲之色：“说起来本少爷的运气当真不错，若是田襄亲至，我自然无可奈何，但你区区一个傀儡，也想要将我融合，未免让人笑掉大牙了……”
By this point, his lips were full of sarcasm: "Speaking of which, my luck truly runs good. If Tian Xiang himself came here, there would be no way out for me. But you, a mere puppet, wanting to merge with me? That’s laughable..."
huà yīn wèi luò ， tián xiǎo jiàn hún shēn mó máng dà qǐ ， è hěn hěn de xiàng zhe qián fāng pū le guò qù 。
话音未落，田小剑浑身魔芒大起，恶狠狠的像着前方扑了过去。
Before he could finish speaking, dark magical light enveloped his body as he fiercely lunged forward.
“ nǐ …… nǐ yào rú hé ？”
“你……你要如何？”
"What... What are you going to do?"
nà kuǐ lěi dà jīng shī sè 。
那傀儡大惊失色。
The puppet was shocked and alarmed.
“ rú hé ， zì rán shì jiāng nǐ chōu hún liàn pò ， rán hòu jiāng jì yì róng hé 。”
“如何，自然是将你抽魂炼魄，然后将记忆融合。”
"Of course, I will extract your soul and spirit, then fuse the memories."
tián xiǎo jiàn de yǔ qì chōng mǎn liǎo de yì ：“ cóng nǐ gāng cái suǒ yán ， nà jiào tián xiāng de jiā huo ， yě suàn gōng yú xīn jì ， kě duì wǒ jìng rán fēn háo fáng bèi yě wú ， zhēn shì chǔn huò ， tā yǐ wéi fēn hún ， jiù kě yǐ rèn qí qū cè ， zhēn shì tài kě xiào le 。”
田小剑的语气充满了得意：“从你刚才所言，那叫田襄的家伙，也算工于心计，可对我竟然分毫防备也无，真是蠢货，他以为分魂，就可以任其驱策，真是太可笑了。”
Tian Xiaojian's tone was filled with satisfaction: "From what you said earlier, that guy named Tian Xiang is quite cunning. He didn't even bother to guard himself against me—what a fool! He thinks splitting his soul would let him control me at will. How foolish!"
huà yīn wèi luò ， yī dào dào guāng xiàn yǐ yóu tā de shēn tǐ biǎo miàn fú xiàn ér chū ， dùn shí xū kōng chàn dòng bù yǐ ， zhēn mó suì kōng dāo yǐ bèi tián xiǎo jiàn xiū liàn dào lú huǒ chún qīng de dì bù 。
话音未落，一道道光线已由他的身体表面浮现而出，顿时虚空颤动不已，真魔碎空刀已被田小剑修炼到炉火纯青的地步。
Just as he finished speaking, beams of light emerged from his body, causing the void to tremble violently. The True Demon Shatter-Sky Blade had been refined by Tian Xiaojian to perfection.
zhè yī chū shǒu ， wēi lì dàng zhēn bù sú 。
这一出手，威力当真不俗。
With this move, its power was truly formidable.
suí hòu qī sè xuán bīng huǒ yě yóu tā de zhǎng xīn zhōng yú yuè ér chū ……
随后七色玄冰火也由他的掌心中鱼跃而出……
Next, seven-colored玄冰火 leaped out from his palm...
nà kuǐ lěi yòu jīng yòu nù ， zì rán bú huì zuò yǐ dài bì ， rán ér zhè zhǒng qíng xíng què rán shì tā suǒ bù céng yù liào dào dì 。
那傀儡又惊又怒，自然不会坐以待毙，然而这种情形确然是他所不曾预料到地。
The puppet was both shocked and enraged; it wouldn't sit idly by but hadn’t anticipated such a situation. Splitting the soul actually betrayed him—this was absurd.
fēn hún jū rán bèi pàn zì jǐ ， zhè shí zài shì huāng miù yǐ jí 。
分魂居然背叛自己，这实在是荒谬以极。
As he said, if the original body came in person, regardless of whether Tian Xiaojian agreed or not, there would be no way to resist. The problem is, he was merely an extension controlled by the essence spirit.
ér qiě zhèng rú duì fāng suǒ yán ， ruò shì běn tǐ qīn zhì ， bù guǎn tián xiǎo jiàn yuàn bù yuàn yì ， dōu méi yǒu fǎn kàng de yú dì ， wèn tí shì ， tā jǐn jǐn shì yuán shēn suō cāo kòng de yī jù kuǐ lěi ér yǐ 。
而且正如对方所言，若是本体亲至，不管田小剑愿不愿意，都没有反抗的余地，问题是，他仅仅是元伸缩操控的一具傀儡而已。
In terms of strength, at most mid-transmigration realm...
lùn shí lì ， zuì duō dù jié zhōng qī ……
论实力，最多渡劫中期……
For a moment, the roles were reversed. If everything went smoothly for Tian Xiang and he hadn't been thrown into another dimension, there wouldn’t have been this opportunity for Tian Xiaojian to turn things around.
yī shí jiān ， gōng shǒu zhī shì dào zhuǎn ， shuō qǐ lái ， yě shì jī yuán qiǎo hé ， rú guǒ tián xiāng jì liàn wàn juàn tiān shū yī qiè shùn lì ， bìng méi yǒu bèi diū dào lìng yī cì yuán ， nǎ ér yǒu jī huì gěi tián xiǎo jiàn fān pán 。
一时间，攻守之势倒转，说起来，也是机缘巧合，如果田襄祭炼万卷天书一切顺利，并没有被丢到另一次元，哪儿有机会给田小剑翻盘。
But in cultivation realms, there are no "ifs." Once something happens, it's useless to lament over what could have been.
dàn xiū xiān jiè méi yǒu rú guǒ ， shì qíng yǐ jīng fā shēng le zài gǎn tàn méi yǒu yòng chǔ 。
但修仙界没有如果，事情已经发生了再感叹没有用处。
Rumbling sounds entered his ears as the puppet fought desperately but ultimately failed and perished.
hōng lōng lóng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， nà kuǐ lěi suī rán pīn mìng fǎn kàng dàn zuì zhōng hái shì miǎn bù liǎo luò bài yǔn luò 。
轰隆隆的声音传入耳朵，那傀儡虽然拼命反抗但最终还是免不了落败陨落。
Tian Xiaojian caught him.
bèi tián xiǎo jiàn zhuō zhù 。
被田小剑捉住。
The puppet he possessed was already battered beyond recognition. In Tian Xiaojian’s hand floated a tiny light ball.
tā fù shēn de kuǐ lěi yǐ bèi dǎ dé qiān chuāng bǎi kǒng ， tián xiǎo jiàn de shǒu zhōng zé xuán fú zhe yī mí nǐ de guāng qiú 。
他附身的傀儡已被打得千疮百孔，田小剑的手中则悬浮着一迷你的光球。
Despite all his efforts, it was futile.
zuǒ chōng yòu tū ， rán ér suǒ yǒu de zhēng zhá dōu shì tú láo de 。
左冲右突，然而所有的挣扎都是徒劳的。
"Stupid, are you mad? We are one entity. You're fighting yourself—no matter how you fall, the original body won't spare you."
“ yú chǔn ， nǐ shì bú shì fēng le ， wǒ men běn shì yī tǐ ， nǐ què yǔ zì jǐ wèi dí ， jiù suàn nǐ néng ràng wǒ yǔn luò ， běn tǐ yě bú huì fàng guò nǐ de 。”
“愚蠢，你是不是疯了，我们本是一体，你却与自己为敌，就算你能让我陨落，本体也不会放过你的。”
A face appeared in the light ball, its voice filled with depression and resentment: "Then what?"
guāng qiú zhōng ， yǒu yī rén liǎn fú xiàn ér chū ， shēng yīn chōng mǎn le yù mèn yǔ yuàn dú 。
光球中，有一人脸浮现而出，声音充满了郁闷与怨毒。
Tian Xiaojian paid no heed: "Do you think I'm afraid of Tian Xiang? Didn’t you say we should be the same person? Why him merging me instead of me taking over his body?"
“ nà yòu rú hé ？” tián xiǎo jiàn què yì diǎn dōu bù zài hū ：“ nǐ yǐ wéi wǒ huì hài pà tián xiāng nà jiā huo ， nǐ bú shì shuō guò ， wǒ yǔ tā běn lái yīng gāi shì tóng yī gè rén me ， píng shén me shì tā jiāng wǒ róng hé ， ér bú shì wǒ fǎn guò lái duó shě tā ne ？”
“那又如何？”田小剑却一点都不在乎：“你以为我会害怕田襄那家伙，你不是说过，我与他本来应该是同一个人么，凭什么是他将我融合，而不是我反过来夺舍他呢？”
"You... You're crazy. Our original body is the top power in the True Immortal Realm—how can just you..."
“ nǐ …… nǐ fēng le ， wǒ men de běn tǐ nǎi shì xiān jiè dì yī qiáng zhě ， jiù píng nǐ ……”
“你……你疯了，我们的本体乃是仙界第一强者，就凭你……”
The voice was filled with disbelief, seemingly truly shocked by Tian Xiaojian's bold idea.
nà shēng yīn chōng mǎn le bù kě sī yì zhī sè ， sì hū zhēn bèi tián xiǎo jiàn de dà dǎn xiǎng fǎ gěi xià dào le 。
那声音充满了不可思议之色，似乎真被田小剑的大胆想法给吓到了。
"Humph, top power in the True Immortal Realm. Didn't Fei Yu also suffer a downfall? Who knows what happens in cultivation realms. Besides, although Tian Xiang is powerful, he has many enemies. At least Fei Yu and King Asura won’t spare him. So I think I still have a chance."
“ hēng ， xiān jiè dì yī qiáng zhě ， nà dāng nián huà yǔ bù yě yī yàng chī kuī yǔn luò ， xiū xiān jiè de shì qíng shuí shuō dé qīng chǔ ， hé kuàng nà tián xiāng shí lì suī rán liǎo de ， dàn chóu jiā sì hū yě bù shǎo de ， zhì shǎo huà yǔ yǔ ā xiū luó wáng dōu bú huì jiāng tā fàng guò ， gù ér wǒ jué de wǒ hái shì yǒu yí dìng jī huì de 。”
“哼，仙界第一强者，那当年化羽不也一样吃亏陨落，修仙界的事情谁说得清楚，何况那田襄实力虽然了得，但仇家似乎也不少的，至少化羽与阿修罗王都不会将他放过，故而我觉得我还是有一定机会的。”
"You... madman, actually planning to ally with your enemies to harm yourself!" The voice was extremely indignant.
“ nǐ …… fēng zi ， jū rán yào lián hé chóu jiā lái móu hài zì jǐ ！” guāng qiú de shēng yīn fèn mèn yǐ jí 。
“你……疯子，居然要联合仇家来谋害自己！”光球的声音愤懑以极。
"Humph, what self? I've said it before—I am me. As for that so-called Tian Xiang, he has nothing to do with me," Tian Xiaojian's face showed resolve.
“ hēng ， shén me zì jǐ ， wǒ zǎo jiù shuō guò ， wǒ jiù shì wǒ ， zhì yú nà míng jiào tián xiāng de jiā huo ， yǔ wǒ sī háo guān xì yě wú 。”
“哼，什么自己，我早就说过，我就是我，至于那名叫田襄的家伙，与我丝毫关系也无。”
From this perspective, his bond with Lin Xuan as sworn brothers truly wasn't unjustified. At least in their attitudes toward their past lives, they were the same.
tián xiǎo jiàn de liǎn shàng mǎn shì jué rán zhī sè ， cóng zhè yì diǎn shàng ， tā yǔ lín xuān jié bài xiōng dì ， dào zhēn de shì yì diǎn dōu bù yuān wǎng shén me 。
田小剑的脸上满是决然之色，从这一点上，他与林轩结拜兄弟，倒真的是一点都不冤枉什么。
Lin Xuan was indifferent to Fei Yu’s true person—how would it be when these two difficult companions knew each other's past and met again?
zhì shǎo zài duì dài qián shì de tài dù shàng ， liǎng rén rú chū yī zhé 。
至少在对待前世的态度上，两人如出一辙。
But that was just a hypothesis. For now, Tian Xiaojian had taken the initiative.
lín xuān duì zì jǐ huà yǔ zhēn rén de qián shì ， tóng yàng shì háo bù zài hū ， jiù bù zhī dào zhè duì nàn xiōng nàn dì ， zhī dào le bǐ cǐ qián shì ， rán hòu yòu pèng zài yì qǐ ， huì shì zěn yàng yī fān qíng jǐng ne ？
林轩对自己化羽真人的前世，同样是毫不在乎，就不知道这对难兄难弟，知道了彼此前世，然后又碰在一起，会是怎样一番情景呢？
With a smile on his face, he ignored the puppet's curses and directly began a soul probing technique.
dàn nà zhǐ shì jiǎ shè ， zhì shǎo yǎn qián ， tián xiǎo jiàn yǐ zhǎng wò le zhǔ dòng lái zhe 。
但那只是假设，至少眼前，田小剑已掌握了主动来着。
After a cup of tea’s time, satisfaction showed on Tian Xiaojian’s face as the essence spirit in the light ball was nearly exhausted. He placed it on his chest, merging it into his dantian.
tā de liǎn shàng dài zhe xiào yì ， duì nà guāng qiú de pò kǒu dà mà shì ruò wú dǔ ， zhí jiē shī zhǎn qǐ le sōu hún zhī shù 。
他的脸上带着笑意，对那光球的破口大骂视若无睹，直接施展起了搜魂之术。
Tian Xiaojian wouldn’t show mercy just because it was him; he directly devoured and fused it.
jiù zhè yàng guò le yī zhǎn chá de gōng fu ， tián xiǎo jiàn de liǎn shàng lù chū mǎn yì zhī sè ， ér nà guāng qiú zhōng de yuán shén yǐ yǎn yǎn yī xī le ， rán ér tián xiǎo jiàn jiāng tā fàng dào le zì jǐ de xiōng kǒu ， mò rù dān tián qì hǎi zhī zhōng 。
就这样过了一盏茶的功夫，田小剑的脸上露出满意之色，而那光球中的元神已奄奄一息了，然而田小剑将他放到了自己的胸口，没入丹田气海之中。
The essence spirit naturally didn't surrender but had no use. Although Tian Xiang was incredibly powerful, he was merely a fragment of an essence soul, far less formidable than the grown-up Tian Xiaojian.
zhí jiē tūn shì róng hé ， tián xiǎo jiàn cái bú huì yīn wèi duì fāng shì zì jǐ jiù shǒu xià liú qíng shén me 。
直接吞噬融合，田小剑才不会因为对方是自己就手下留情什么。
In the end, it was completely absorbed into his soul.
ér nà yuán shén zì rán bú huì shù shǒu jiù fù ， dàn méi yǒu yòng tú ， tián xiāng gù rán qiáng dà wú bǐ ， dàn tā zhǐ shì yì diǎn yuán shén zhī lì ， zì rán méi yǒu bàn fǎ yǔ yǐ jīng chéng zhǎng qǐ lái de tián xiǎo jiàn xiāng bǐ 。
而那元神自然不会束手就缚，但没有用途，田襄固然强大无比，但他只是一点元神之力，自然没有办法与已经成长起来的田小剑相比。
Tian Xiaojian closed his eyes, digesting all the information gained.
zuì hòu hái shì bèi chè dǐ róng hé jìn le duì fāng de hún pò lǐ 。
最后还是被彻底融合进了对方的魂魄里。
After a long time, he opened them and expressed satisfaction: "So this is how it is. Ancient grudges are so complex and convoluted. From the intelligence gathered, Lin Xuan might well be Fei Yu’s reincarnation. Tian Xiang is much more formidable than expected—where has he gone? But I won’t be spared. It seems I need to find a way to team up with Lin Xuan..."
tián xiǎo jiàn zé shuāng móu jǐn bì ， xiāo huà zhe yīn cǐ suǒ de dào de zhū duō xìn xī 。
田小剑则双眸紧闭，消化着因此所得到的诸多信息。
Before this thought could fully form, Tian Xiaojian suddenly raised his eyebrows and turned his head to the left. Two streaks of light appeared in the distance.
liáng jiǔ tā cái zhēng kāi shuāng mù ， liǎn shàng lù chū mǎn yì de gǎn tàn zhī sè ：
良久他才睁开双目，脸上露出满意的感叹之色：
Initially far away, they were astonishingly fast; almost an instant later, they arrived before him.

"An essence soul with memories?" Tian Xiaojian rubbed his forehead, a hint of strange light flickering in his eyes: "Then where are our original bodies?"
"Due to King Asura reversing the仙灵通道, we've been trapped in the True Immortal Realm for these years. Now that we have finally escaped, our original bodies naturally went to refine a treasure."
"Refine a treasure?"
"Yes, the Ten Thousand Volume Heavenly Book."
Perhaps because it was addressing him directly, the puppet showed no defenses and spoke freely: quickly, Tian Xiaojian understood the whole story.
"So this is how it is..."
Tian Xiaojian rubbed his forehead, showing deep thought on his face: "Then why are you here?"
