The Heavenspirit Goddess!
tiān wū shén nǚ ！
天巫神女！
It wasn't that her power was so extraordinary, reaching a point of incredible strength. In fact, even if the Asura King were to take her place in this situation, he would likely be flustered.
bìng bú shì shuō tā de shí lì jiù duō me duō me lí pǔ ， dào dá bù kě sī yì de dì bù ， shí jì shàng ， jiù suàn shì ā xiū luó wáng yǔ tā yì dì ér chǔ ， zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng xià ， duō bàn yě huì shǒu máng jiǎo luàn de 。
并不是说她的实力就多么多么离谱，到达不可思议的地步，实际上，就算是阿修罗王与她易地而处，这种情况下，多半也会手忙脚乱的。
This had more to do with experience than sheer power. The Heavenspirit Goddess had countless such experiences!
zhè yǔ shí lì qiáng ruò dāng rán yǒu guān xì ， dàn què bìng bú shì jué dìng yīn sù 。
这与实力强弱当然有关系，但却并不是决定因素。
In her past life, the Mo Yue Clan was besieged by powerful cultivators from three thousand worlds. She, as their top expert, often faced hundreds or even thousands of cultivators at once—top-tier great talents without fail.
yīn wèi zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng ， tiān wū shén nǚ yǒu tài duō de jīng yàn a ！
因为这种情况，天巫神女有太多的经验啊！
With no allies, she had to fight with fewer against more.
xī rì de mò yuè zú ， kě shì bèi sān qiān shì jiè de qiáng zhě wéi gōng ， tā zuò wèi zú nèi dì yī gāo shǒu ， cháng cháng xū yào miàn duì chéng bǎi shàng qiān de xiū xiān zhě ， ér qiě dōu shì dǐng jí dà néng méi cuò 。
昔日的墨月族，可是被三千世界的强者围攻，她做为族内第一高手，常常需要面对成百上千的修仙者，而且都是顶级大能没错。
So she was well-versed in this situation!
méi yǒu bāng shǒu ， bì xū yǐ shǎo dí duō 。
没有帮手，必须以少敌多。
Moreover, later on, she alone entered the Outer Demonic Realm and faced seemingly endless域外天魔. The Heavenspirit Goddess endured countless battles where enemies numbered in the hundreds or thousands.
suǒ yǐ zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng tā zǎo jiù fēi cháng shú xī le ！
所以这种情况她早就非常熟悉了！
Thus, when it came to outnumbering opponents, even a prodigy like the Asura King or Daoist Tianxiang would be hard-pressed to match her.
gèng bú yào shuō ， hòu lái yí gè rén jìn rù tiān wài mó yù ， miàn duì fǎng fú wú qióng wú jìn de yù wài tiān mó ， tiān wū shén nǚ gèng shì jīng lì le è zhàn wú shù 。
更不要说，后来一个人进入天外魔域，面对仿佛无穷无尽的域外天魔，天巫神女更是经历了恶战无数。
Compared to the dangers of the past, this small scene was trivial. Four people attacking her could easily be handled, especially if they tried a sneak attack.
měi yī zhàn dí rén dōu shì shǔ bù shèng shǔ 。
每一战敌人都是数不胜数。
For a moment, everyone found themselves at a loss for what to do.
suǒ yǐ bié de shén tōng bù tí ， tán dào yǐ shǎo dǎ duō ， nǎ pà shì jīng cái jué yàn de ā xiū luó ， nǎ pà shì tián xiāng shēn wèi dào zǔ ， dōu méi yǒu bàn fǎ yǔ tā xiāng bǐ de 。
所以别的神通不提，谈到以少打多，哪怕是惊才绝艳的阿修罗，哪怕是田襄身为道祖，都没有办法与她相比的。
Indeed, it was a case where one wrong move could ruin everything. Initially, Qin Yan and the others planned to ambush the Demon Abyss Ancestor.
yǔ dāng nián de jīng xiǎn xiāng bǐ ， yǎn qián de xiǎo chǎng miàn shí zài shì bù zhí yī tí ， jǐn jǐn sì gè rén de wéi gōng ér yǐ ， nǎ pà shì tōu xí ， tā yě kě yǐ cóng róng yìng fù guò qù 。
与当年的惊险相比，眼前的小场面实在是不值一提，仅仅四个人的围攻而已，哪怕是偷袭，她也可以从容应付过去。
The old monster, though formidable, lacked the Heavenspirit Goddess’s experience and would likely be severely injured here.
yī shí jiān ， dà jiā ná tā wú kě nài hé 。
一时间，大家拿她无可奈何。
However, when Lin Xuan released the Nine Palaces Momentary Technique, the Heavenspirit Goddess revealed a flaw that led them to change their plans. They had intended to defeat him in one fell swoop, but who could have predicted this outcome?
shuō qǐ lái ， yě zhēn shì yī zhe bù shèn mǎn pán jiē shū ， yuán běn qín yán tā men sān gè ， shì xiǎng yào tōu xí shā míng lǎo zǔ 。
说起来，也真是一着不慎满盘皆输，原本秦妍她们三个，是想要偷袭煞冥老祖。
It was simply fate’s will.
←，≧. nà lǎo guài wù suī rán yě shí lì bù sú ， dàn méi yǒu tiān wū shén nǚ zhè yàng de jīng lì ， duō bàn huì bèi zhòng chuāng yú zhè lǐ 。
←，≧.那老怪物虽然也实力不俗，但没有天巫神女这样的经历，多半会被重创于这里。
Now, there was nothing more to say. The girls’ faces showed disappointment as they learned the full story from Qin Yan. Lin Xuan was speechless.
kě lín xuān fàng chū jiǔ gōng xū yú ， tiān wū shén nǚ chī jīng zhī xià lù chū pò zhàn ， què ràng tā men gǎi biàn le zhǔ yì ， yuán běn zhǔn bèi yī zhàn ér kè ， shuí néng xiǎng dào huì shì zhè zhǒng jié guǒ ？
可林轩放出九宫须臾，天巫神女吃惊之下露出破绽，却让她们改变了主意，原本准备一战而克，谁能想到会是这种结果？
Cough, cough, truly a case of being too clever by half!
zhǐ néng shuō rén suàn bù rú tiān suàn 。
只能说人算不如天算。
Regret now would be futile.
rú jīn zhǐ néng shì fū fù hé yán 。
如今只能是夫复何言。
“With the Heavenspirit Goddess’s experience and power, attacking will likely yield little effect. Let me handle it. Qin Yan, come over and help me first. Capture the Demon Abyss Ancestor.”
jǐ nǚ liǎn shàng mǎn shì jǔ sàng zhī sè ， cóng qín yán nà lǐ dé zhī qián yīn hòu guǒ ， lín xuān yě shì wú yǔ le 。
几女脸上满是沮丧之色，从秦妍那里得知前因后果，林轩也是无语了。
Lin Xuan transmitted his thoughts thusly.
ké ， ké ， zhè hái zhēn shì cōng míng fǎn bèi cōng míng wù ！
咳，咳，这还真是聪明反被聪明误！
As for the Heavenspirit Goddess, he entrusted her to Nai Long Immortal and Nine-tailed Skyfox to deal with. Even if they couldn’t win, they wouldn’t lose either.
rú jīn hòu huǐ yě shì wǎn le 。
如今后悔也是晚了。
Lin Xuan’s plan was sound: select one person as a breakthrough point and use his divine sense to secretly contact the girls in the Nine Palaces Momentary Technique diagram. They would strike when needed, ensuring that even the Demon Abyss Ancestor, with all his might, would fall here.
“ yǐ tiān wū shén nǚ de jīng yàn shí lì 。 wéi gōng duō bàn shì nán yǐ qǐ dào míng xiǎn xiào guǒ dì ， jì rú cǐ ， qín yán ， nǐ men liǎng gè guò lái bāng wǒ ， xiān jiāng shā míng lǎo zǔ ná xià zài shuō 。”
“以天巫神女的经验实力。围攻多半是难以起到明显效果地，既如此，秦妍，你们两个过来帮我，先将煞冥老祖拿下再说。”
However, just then, something unexpected occurred.
lín xuān rú cǐ zhè bān de chuán yīn le 。
林轩如此这般的传音了。
Sizzle…
zhì yú tiān wū shén nǚ ， jiù jiāo yǔ nài lóng zhēn rén hái yǒu jiǔ wěi tiān hú yìng fù ， liǎng rén jiù suàn dǎ bù guò ， yě jué bú huì shū 。
至于天巫神女，就交予鼐龙真人还有九尾天狐应付，两人就算打不过，也绝不会输。
The void above was torn again. A figure appeared as a flash of light. It was a pale-faced youth in snow-white robes, holding an ancient scroll. He moved like he was strolling through a tranquil garden and entered the mysterious space.
lín xuān de dǎ suàn yuán běn bù cuò ， xuǎn qí zhōng yī rén zuò wèi tū pò kǒu ， tā yǐ jīng dòng yòng shén shí 。 qiǎo rán lián xì xū yú dòng tiān tú zhōng de jǐ nǚ 。
林轩的打算原本不错，选其中一人做为突破口，他已经动用神识。悄然联系须臾洞天图中的几女。
He was spotless, his gentle features exuding a hint of danger.
ràng tā men zài bì yào shí kè lái yī cì tōu xí ， rú cǐ shā míng lǎo zǔ jiù suàn yǒu tiān dà de běn shì ， yě huì zài zhè lǐ zhé yì 。
让她们在必要时刻来一次偷袭，如此煞冥老祖就算有天大的本事，也会在这里折翼。
Despite no additional movements, the sky seemed to darken instantly under his gaze.
xiǎng fǎ yuán běn shì méi cuò dì ， rán ér jiù zài zhè shí ， yì biàn tū qǐ 。
想法原本是没错地，然而就在这时，异变突起。
A sense of pressure descended from above.
cī lā ……
刺啦……
The cultivators present—whether great powers of the Spirit Realm or powerful beings from other realms—halted their actions simultaneously.
tóu dǐng de xū kōng ， zài cì bèi sī pò ， líng guāng yī shǎn ， yí gè shēn yǐng fú xiàn chū lái 。
头顶的虚空，再次被撕破，灵光一闪，一个身影浮现出来。
“You are…”
nà shì yī liǎn sè cāng bái de shào nián ， bái yī shèng xuě 。 shǒu zhōng pěng zhe yī gǔ piáo de shū juàn ， rú xián tíng xìn bù yì bān ， lái dào le zhè shén mì kōng jiān de lǐ miàn 。
那是一脸色苍白的少年，白衣胜雪。手中捧着一古朴的书卷，如闲庭信步一般，来到了这神秘空间的里面。
Rain桐 Fairy turned around. Usually calm, she trembled slightly at this moment.
zhěng gè rén xiān chén bù rǎn 。
整个人纤尘不染。
Indeed, it was a tremor, though subtle. Lin Xuan recognized the voice as that of a hundred swallows, tinged with bitterness: "T-Tian… Tianxiang Daoist."
róu hé de wǔ guān ， què mò míng de ràng rén gǎn jué dào yī sī wēi xiǎn 。
柔和的五官，却莫名的让人感觉到一丝危险。
"Correct, correct. A mere being from another world can recognize me. Your appearance is somewhat familiar; yes, it’s like Li Yutong from the Spirit Realm."
tā míng míng méi yǒu duō yú de dòng zuò 。 rán ér tiān sè zài yī shùn jiān sì hū dōu yīn chén le xǔ duō 。
他明明没有多余的动作。然而天色在一瞬间似乎都阴沉了许多。
Everyone could add "Hundred Refinements to Immortality" on WeChat by searching for "hchy1982".
wēi yā cóng tiān ér luò 。
威压从天而落。
Tianxiang’s voice was calm and composed as he turned his head. Anyone meeting his gaze felt an unbearable discomfort.
zài chǎng de xiū xiān zhě ， bù lùn shì líng jiè dà néng ， hái shì yì zú qiáng zhě ， dōu bù yuē ér tóng de tíng xià le shǒu lǐ de dòng zuò 。
在场的修仙者，不论是灵界大能，还是异族强者，都不约而同的停下了手里的动作。
Like a snake under a frog's stare!
“ nǐ shì ……”
“你是……”
How many years had passed, but Lin Xuan no longer felt this way. It was like… being the target of a frog’s attention. Oh, wrong way around.
yǔ tóng xiān zi huí guò tóu 。 yí xiàng zhèn jìng de tā ， zài zhè yī kè ， sì hū hún shēn dōu yǒu diǎn fā dǒu 。
雨桐仙子回过头。一向镇静的她，在这一刻，似乎浑身都有点发抖。
Yet, his gaze fell on Lin Xuan.
méi cuò 。 jiù shì fā dǒu ， suī rán hěn wēi ruò ， dàn lín xuān yī jiù biàn rèn chū ， rú bǎi líng bān de shēng yīn ， yě xiàn chū le yī sī suān sè ：“ tián …… tián xiāng dào zǔ 。”
没错。就是发抖，虽然很微弱，但林轩依旧辨认出，如百灵般的声音，也现出了一丝酸涩：“田……田襄道祖。”
Indeed, among all the powerful figures present, none were in Tianxiang’s line of sight. He focused solely on Lin Xuan.
“ bù cuò ， bù cuò ， qū qū yī xià jiè de cún zài ， jū rán rèn de wǒ ， nǐ de róng mào yǒu xiē yǎn shú ， duì le ， hǎo xiàng shì líng jiè nà jiào lǐ yǔ tóng de jiā huo 。”
“不错，不错，区区一下界的存在，居然认得我，你的容貌有些眼熟，对了，好像是灵界那叫李雨桐的家伙。”
Nai Long and Rain桐 Fairy, along with Ice Spirit, were ignored as if they were insignificant ants.
dà jiā kě yǐ zài wēi xìn zhōng sōu suǒ “ bǎi liàn chéng xiān huàn yǔ ”， huò zhě “hchy1982” jiù tiān jiā huàn yǔ de wēi xìn le
大家可以在薇信中搜索“百炼成仙幻雨”，或者“hchy1982”就添加幻雨的薇信了
His gaze towards Lin Xuan was complex; he sighed: "Big Brother, it's been a long time."
tián xiāng de shēng yīn què shì yī pài yún dàn fēng qīng zhī sè ， zhuǎn guò tóu lú ， rù mù suǒ jí ， fán shì yǔ tā de yǎn shén duì zài yì qǐ ， dū huì gǎn jué nán shòu wú bǐ 。
田襄的声音却是一派云淡风轻之色，转过头颅，入目所及，凡是与他的眼神对在一起，都会感觉难受无比。
A simple term, but it had the effect of leaving everyone speechless. They thought their ears must be deceiving them.
rú máng zài bèi ！
如芒在背！
After all, the first cultivator in the world, who could claim such a title?
duō shǎo nián le ， lín xuān yǐ jīng méi yǒu guò zhè yàng de gǎn jué ， jiù xiàng shì …… yī tiáo bèi qīng wā dīng zhù de shé ， ó ， shuō fǎn le 。
多少年了，林轩已经没有过这样的感觉，就像是……一条被青蛙盯住的蛇，哦，说反了。
Unless…
piān piān duì fāng de mù guāng ， hái luò zài le zì jǐ de shēn shàng 。
偏偏对方的目光，还落在了自己的身上。
They weren’t stupid and knew ancient grudges. Understanding human affairs, they guessed:
méi cuò ， zài chǎng suī gāo shǒu rú yún ， qiáng zhě huì jù ， dàn gēn běn méi yǒu shuí ， bèi tián xiāng kàn zài yǎn lǐ ， tā zuì zhōng zhù yì de ， zhǐ shì lín xuān yī rén ér yǐ 。
没错，在场虽高手如云，强者汇聚，但根本没有谁，被田襄看在眼里，他最终注意的，只是林轩一人而已。
Could Lin Xuan be the reincarnation of Feathersplendor Immortal?
qí yú de nài lóng yě hǎo ， lǐ yǔ tóng yě bà ， bīng pò ， dōu bèi tā shì ruò wú dǔ ， fǎng fú lóu yǐ yì bān de hū lüè guò qù le 。
其余的鼐龙也好，李雨桐也罢，冰魄，都被他视若无睹，仿佛蝼蚁一般的忽略过去了。
This was somewhat absurd but the only reasonable explanation under these circumstances.
tā wàng xiàng lín xuān de yǎn shén ， yǒu yī xiē fù zá ， suí hòu tàn le kǒu qì ：“ dà gē ， hǎo jiǔ bú jiàn le 。”
他望向林轩的眼神，有一些复杂，随后叹了口气：“大哥，好久不见了。”
After all, neither Feathersplendor nor the Asura King deserved Tianxiang’s title.
hěn jiǎn dān de chēng hū ， rán ér què dá dào le yǔ bù jīng rén sǐ bù xiū de xiào guǒ ， zài chǎng zhī rén ， dōu jīng dé dāi le ， yǐ wéi zì jǐ ěr duǒ tīng cuò 。
很简单的称呼，然而却达到了语不惊人死不休的效果，在场之人，都惊得呆了，以为自己耳朵听错。
With this realization, even the Demon Abyss Ancestor and other powerful beings from other realms were taken aback. Those familiar with Lin Xuan felt a sudden enlightenment.
bì jìng kāi kǒu de kě shì xiān jiè dì yī qiáng zhě ， zài zhè ge shì jiè shàng ， hái yǒu shuí ， dāng dé qǐ tián xiāng jiào shàng yī shēng dà gē 。
毕竟开口的可是仙界第一强者，在这个世界上，还有谁，当得起田襄叫上一声大哥。
No wonder…
chú fēi shì ……
除非是……
No wonder his cultivation speed was so extraordinary.
tā men yě bù shǎ ， dōu jiàn shí guǎng bó ， zhī dào shàng gǔ de ēn yuàn jiū gé ， yòu tōng xiǎo rén qíng shì gù ， nà me jiù hěn hǎo cāi cè 。
他们也不傻，都见识广博，知道上古的恩怨纠葛，又通晓人情世故，那么就很好猜测。
In just a few thousand years, he had walked a path that took others millions of years. He surpassed the Asura in cultivation speed.
nán dào shuō …… lín xuān jìng shì huà yǔ zhēn rén zhuǎn shì me ？
难道说……林轩竟是化羽真人转世么？
If it was Feathersplendor’s reincarnation, this wouldn’t be strange at all.
yǒu yī xiē lí pǔ ， dàn què shì zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng xià wéi yī hé lǐ de jiě shì le 。
有一些离谱，但却是这种情况下唯一合理的解释了。
Though there were doubts before, they hadn’t thought through everything.
bì jìng chú le huà yǔ ， biàn shì xī rì de ā xiū luó ， yě dāng bù qǐ tián xiāng zūn chēng de 。
毕竟除了化羽，便是昔日的阿修罗，也当不起田襄尊称的。
Now, after some reflection, everything seemed to fall into place.
yǒu le zhè yī gǎn wù ， shā míng lǎo zǔ děng yì jiè dà néng qiě bù shuō ， xiàng nài lóng zhēn rén ， yǔ tóng xiān zi zhè xiē duì lín xuān shú xī de ， dōu yǒu yī zhǒng tí hú guàn dǐng de gǎn jué 。
有了这一感悟，煞冥老祖等异界大能且不说，像鼐龙真人，雨桐仙子这些对林轩熟悉的，都有一种醍醐灌顶的感觉。
The most composed were Qin Yan and Winged Fairy. They knew Lin Xuan’s identity well enough not to be surprised by anything.
guài bù dé ……
怪不得……
Regardless, everyone’s attention was now on Lin Xuan.
guài bù dé tā xiū liàn de sù dù rú cǐ lí pǔ 。
怪不得他修炼的速度如此离谱。
His expression was extremely complex. To be honest, Lin Xuan had imagined how meeting Tianxiang would go, but the scene before him didn’t match his expectations at all.
duǎn duǎn shù qiān nián ， jiù zǒu guò le bié rén bǎi wàn nián de lù ， qián wú gǔ rén hòu wú lái zhě ， xiū liàn sù dù shèn zhì chāo guò le ā xiū luó 。
短短数千年，就走过了别人百万年的路，前无古人后无来者，修炼速度甚至超过了阿修罗。
Looking at this man, Lin Xuan harbored no ill will. Though he heard stories of Tianxiang’s treachery and cruelty towards Feathersplendor and the Asura, it was from long ago.
rú guǒ shì huà yǔ zhuǎn shì ， zhè yī qiè jiù bù xī qí le 。
如果是化羽转世，这一切就不稀奇了。
Moreover, he had wronged Feathersplendor and the Asura, not him. Lin Xuan never felt that Tianxiang owed him anything.
yǐ qián suī rán yě yǒu yí huò ， dàn què bù céng xiǎng dé zhè me tòu chè 。
以前虽然也有疑惑，但却不曾想得这么透彻。
After all, reincarnation seemed too ethereal. He truly couldn’t remember his past life and had no grudge against Tianxiang.
rú jīn lüè yī sī suǒ ， yī qiè sì hū dōu shì shùn lǐ chéng zhāng de 。
如今略一思索，一切似乎都是顺理成章的。
Of course, there was no fondness either; he always treated Tianxiang as a potential enemy.
zhè qí zhōng zuì zhèn dìng de fēi qín yán yǔ zhé yì xiān zi mò shǔ ， yīn wèi lín xuān de shēn fèn tā men zǎo jiù qīng chǔ ， zì rán bú huì yīn cǐ chī jīng shén me 。
这其中最镇定的非秦妍与折翼仙子莫属，因为林轩的身份她们早就清楚，自然不会因此吃惊什么。
After all, people don’t harm those who don’t intend to harm them, but tigers do.
dàn bù guǎn rú hé ， lín xuān cǐ kè dōu xī yǐn le suǒ yǒu de guān zhù 。
但不管如何，林轩此刻都吸引了所有的关注。
If Lin Xuan’s intention were honest, he would have preferred a handshake. He didn’t care about past events and hoped Tianxiang wouldn’t cause trouble for Yue'er.
ér tā de biǎo qíng yì shì fù zá yǐ jí ， shuō shí huà ， lín xuān xiǎng guò yǔ tián xiāng jiàn miàn huì shì zěn yàng yī fān chǎng jǐng ， dàn yǎn qián ， sì hū yì diǎn dōu bù fú hé yù qī 。
而他的表情亦是复杂以极，说实话，林轩想过与田襄见面会是怎样一番场景，但眼前，似乎一点都不符合预期。
But was that possible?
ér kàn zhuó yǎn qián de nán zi ， lín xuān xīn zhōng qí shí yě bìng bù jì hèn shén me ， suī rán tīng le gù shì ， duì fāng què shí bēi bǐ wú chǐ ， jiāng huà yǔ hé ā xiū luó hài dé hǎo cǎn 。
而看着眼前的男子，林轩心中其实也并不忌恨什么，虽然听了故事，对方确实卑鄙无耻，将化羽和阿修罗害得好惨。
...
The Heavenspirit Goddess!
It wasn't that her power was so extraordinary, reaching a point of incredible strength. In fact, even if the Asura King were to take her place in this situation, he would likely be flustered.
