biàn huà bù zhǐ yú cǐ 。
变化不止于此。
The changes didn't stop there.
xià yī kè ， cǐ nǚ yī shēng qīng hē ， yī dào qīng méng méng de jù fēng píng kōng ér qǐ ， tóng yàng shì bō lán zhuàng kuò ， chōng mǎn le qiáng dà de qì xī 。
下一刻，此女一声轻喝，一道青蒙蒙的飓风凭空而起，同样是波澜壮阔，充满了强大的气息。
In the next moment, this woman let out a sharp cry. A swirling green hurricane appeared out of nowhere, just as grandiose and filled with powerful energy.
fēi cháng chún zhèng de líng lì ！
非常纯正的灵力！
Extremely pure spiritual essence!
lín xuān yì shí fēn shú xī ， yǔ zì jǐ xiū liàn de mò yuè tiān wū jué sī háo qū bié yě wú ， bù hán bàn diǎn mó qì 。
林轩亦十分熟悉，与自己修炼的墨月天巫诀丝毫区别也无，不含半点魔气。
Lin Xuan was quite familiar with it; it was no different from his own practice of Black Moon Celestial Witch Art, without any hint of demonic energy.
liǎng dào jù fēng hù bù tǒng shǔ ， què yòu jiāo xiāng huī yìng 。
两道飓风互不统属，却又交相辉映。
The two hurricanes were independent yet complemented each other beautifully.
tiān wū shén nǚ shén sè níng zhòng qǐ lái ， tū rán yòu shǒu yī tái ， shēn zhǐ zài méi jiān yì diǎn ！
天巫神女神色凝重起来，突然右手一抬，伸指在眉间一点！
The Celestial Witch Goddess's expression grew serious. Suddenly, her right hand shot up and she touched a point between her brows!
tā de méi yǔ zhī jiān ， chū xiàn le yī tiáo hēi xiàn 。
她的眉宇之间，出现了一条黑线。
A black line appeared on her forehead.
suí hòu huǎn huǎn de yī zhēng ér kāi ， jiù fǎng fú duō le dì sān zhǐ yǎn 。
随后缓缓的一睁而开，就仿佛多了第三只眼。
Then, slowly opening her eyes, it seemed as if she had gained a third eye.
bú duì ， nà bú shì yǎn jīng 。
不对，那不是眼睛。
No, that wasn't an eye.
yīn wèi chú le shēn suì hēi àn ， gēn běn jiù méi yǒu tóng kǒng zhī lèi de cún zài 。
因为除了深邃黑暗，根本就没有瞳孔之类的存在。
For there was no pupil or any other such existence; instead, a small snake emerged from within.
dǎo shì yǒu yī tiáo xiǎo shé cóng lǐ miàn zuān le chū lái 。
倒是有一条小蛇从里面钻了出来。
This snake was only about a foot long and thinner than a chopstick. However, the pressure it emitted was astonishing, surpassing even the mosttop-grade spirit artifact.
cǐ shé zhǎng bù guò chǐ xǔ ， bǐ kuài zi gèng xì ， rán ér suǒ sàn chū lái de wēi yā ， què shì jīng rén wú bǐ ， jiào zhī zuì dǐng jí de zhēn líng ， yì yǒu guò zhī ér wú bù jí 。
此蛇长不过尺许，比筷子更细，然而所散出来的威压，却是惊人无比，较之最顶级的真灵，亦有过之而无不及。
"Is this..."
“ zhè shì ……”
“这是……”
The others were fine, but Lin Xuan almost thought he had seen wrong. This wasn't the secret technique of the Treasure Snake, the Ancestral Spirit ≮↓¤. Snake?
qí tā rén dào yě bà le ， lín xuān jī hū yǐ wéi zì jǐ kàn cuò 。
其他人倒也罢了，林轩几乎以为自己看错。
How could it appear on the Celestial Witch Goddess? The Black Moon Celestial Witch Art did not contain such a power.
zhè bú shì bǎo shé yā xiāng dǐ de mì jì ， zǔ líng ≮↓，¤. zhī shé ？
这不是宝蛇压箱底的秘技，祖灵≮↓，¤.之蛇？
No, compared to the Celestial Witch Goddess, the same secret technique was merely a pretender.
zěn me huì chū xiàn zài tiān wū shén nǚ shēn shàng le 。
怎么会出现在天巫神女身上了。
Surprised but perceiving the difference instantly, Lin Xuan saw something entirely different.
mò yuè tiān wū jué lǐ kě shì bù hán zhè xiàng shén tōng de 。
墨月天巫诀里可是不含这项神通的。
The Celestial Witch Goddess's expression was cold and serious. She opened her mouth slightly and uttered a short incantation.
bú duì ， yǔ tiān wū shén nǚ xiāng bǐ ， tóng yàng de mì jì ， bǎo shé zhǐ bù guò shì tú yǒu qí biǎo ér yǐ 。
不对，与天巫神女相比，同样的秘技，宝蛇只不过是徒有其表而已。
This incantation was extremely brief, consisting of only a few syllables.
lín xuān chà yì zhī yú ， yī shùn jiān yě jiù kàn chū le jié rán bù tóng de dōng xī 。
林轩诧异之余，一瞬间也就看出了截然不同的东西。
Suddenly, the Ancestral Spirit ≮↓¤. Snake raised its head, spewing out a black mist from its fangs.
tiān wū shén nǚ de biǎo qíng bīng lěng ér yán sù ， tán kǒu wēi qǐ ， tǔ chū yī jù zhòu yǔ 。
天巫神女的表情冰冷而严肃，檀口微启，吐出一句咒语。
That black mist was deep and profound, then transformed into gray and white vapors.
cǐ zhòu yǔ duǎn cù yǐ jí ， zhǐ yǒu liáo liáo jǐ gè yīn jié ér yǐ 。
此咒语短促以极，只有寥寥几个音节而已。
You can add "A Thousand Refinements to Immortality Huan Yu" or "hchy1982" on WeChat to follow Huan Yu's official account.
zǔ líng zhī shé tū rán yáng qǐ tóu lú ， cóng liáo yá zhī zhōng pēn chū yī dào hēi wù 。
祖灵之蛇突然扬起头颅，从獠牙之中喷出一道黑雾。
The incantation flashed by and entered the two distinct hurricanes.
nà hēi wù shēn suì yǐ jí ， suí hòu què biàn huà chū huī bái èr qì 。
那黑雾深邃以极，随后却变化出灰白二气。
Buzz...
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
There was a loud rumbling sound as the two hurricanes began to merge, quickly combining into a five-colored crystal. The howling of the wind grew even more intense.
yī shǎn jí shì 。 fēn bié mò rù le liǎng dào jié rán bù tóng de jù fēng lǐ 。
一闪即逝。分别没入了两道截然不同的飓风里。
Next came an unbelievable scene: the Ancestral Spirit ≮↓¤. Snake suddenly opened its mouth wide, revealing its fangs, and emitted infinite suction power. It was like a black hole, slowly but surely swallowing the hurricane.
wēng ……
嗡……
The sizes were disproportionate; while it's said that greed makes one swallow an elephant, what they saw here far exceeded that.
jù xiǎng shēng dà zuò ， liǎng dào jù fēng ， kāi shǐ jiāo róng ， hěn kuài hé èr wéi yī ， biàn dé wǔ sè liú lí ， fēng hǒu shēng gèng jí 。
巨响声大做，两道飓风，开始交融，很快合二为一，变得五色琉璃，风吼声更急。
It was like a dream, as if those who witnessed it were in a trance.
jiē xià lái ， shēng le bù kě sī yì de yí mù ， nà zǔ líng zhī shé tū rán zhāng kāi le dà kǒu ， liáo yá wài lù ， gèng kě pà de shì cóng lǐ miàn sàn chū wú qióng de xī lì 。 jiù fǎng fú hēi dòng yì bān ， yì diǎn yì diǎn ， shì màn shí kuài ， jiāng nà jù fēng gěi tūn shì le jìn lái 。
接下来，生了不可思议的一幕，那祖灵之蛇突然张开了大口，獠牙外露，更可怕的是从里面散出无穷的吸力。就仿佛黑洞一般，一点一点，似慢实快，将那飓风给吞噬了进来。
Then, the Ancestral Spirit ≮↓¤. Snake, which was about a foot long, contracted its body and turned into a thin black line, flying straight into her forehead without any obstruction.
èr zhě de tǐ jī bù chéng bǐ lì ， dōu shuō rén xīn bù zú shé tūn xiàng ， rán ér yǎn qián de yí mù ， què yuǎn bǐ nà ge kuā zhāng 。
二者的体积不成比例，都说人心不足蛇吞象，然而眼前的一幕，却远比那个夸张。
From where it came, back to where it went; the vertical mark on the Celestial Witch Goddess's forehead vanished as if it had never been there. Her aura completely changed.
rú mèng rú huàn ， jīng lì de rén jiù fǎng fú shì zài zuò mèng yì bān 。
如梦如幻，经历的人就仿佛是在做梦一般。
Previously, she was an outsider demon; now, she became the Holy Maiden of the Black Moon Clan once again but with a greater strength and mystery.
suí hòu nà chǐ xǔ zhǎng de zǔ líng mó shé shēn tǐ yī suō ， biàn huà wèi yī lǚ hēi xiàn 。 háo wú zǔ gé de fēi jìn le tā de é tóu lǐ miàn 。
随后那尺许长的祖灵魔蛇身体一缩，便化为一缕黑线。毫无阻隔的飞进了她的额头里面。
The changes were bizarre, yet they didn't fall short of Li Yutong or Ice Soul's abilities.
cóng nǎ lǐ lái ， huí nǎ lǐ qù ， tiān wū shén nǚ méi xīn zhèng zhōng de shù hén xiāo shī ， fǎng fú cóng lái bù céng chū xiàn guò 。 ér tā shēn shàng de qì xī ， zé wán quán gǎi biàn le 。
从哪里来，回哪里去，天巫神女眉心正中的竖痕消失，仿佛从来不曾出现过。而她身上的气息，则完全改变了。
Human-Demon Unity.
kāi shǐ ， tā shì yù wài tiān mó ， rú jīn 。 zé chóng xīn chéng wéi le mò yuè zú de shèng nǚ ， dàn què yòu biàn dé bǐ yǐ qián gèng jiā de qiáng dà shén mì 。
开始，她是域外天魔，如今。则重新成为了墨月族的圣女，但却又变得比以前更加的强大神秘。
Her aura fluctuated unpredictably, neither entirely divine nor demonic. The subtleties were hard to fathom, but she was very close to the essence of power.
nà biàn huà gǔ guài yǐ jí ， dàn jí shǐ bǐ qǐ lǐ yǔ tóng yǔ bīng pò 。 yě bù chěng duō ràng de yàng zi 。
那变化古怪以极，但即使比起李雨桐与冰魄。也不逞多让的样子。
"You should have entered the Dragon Transformation Pool and turned into one of your own kind. But you ended up strengthening yourself instead."
rén mó hé yī 。
人魔合一。
Tian Xiang was initially surprised but quickly seemed to understand something, clapping his hands in laughter: "Impressive, truly impressive. To enter the Dragon Transformation Pool without being assimilated is something even the Arhats from a million years ago couldn't guarantee. So, the Blue Star Sea really is in your possession?"
tā shēn shàng de qì xī piāo hū bù dìng ， shì xiān fēi xiān ， shì mó fēi mó ， zhōng jiān de xuán jī wú fǎ cān xiáng tòu chè ， dàn yǐ jīng fēi cháng jiē jìn běn yuán de lì liàng le 。
她身上的气息飘忽不定，似仙非仙，似魔非魔，中间的玄机无法参详透彻，但已经非常接近本源的力量了。
"What Blue Star Sea?"
“ nǐ zhè ge yàng zi ， yīng gāi shì jìn guò huà lóng chí ， yù wài tiān mó yuán běn xiǎng yào nǐ biàn chéng tóng zú ， méi xiǎng dào ， què chéng quán nǐ le 。”
“你这个样子，应该是进过化龙池，域外天魔原本想要你变成同族，没想到，却成全你了。”
The Celestial Witch Goddess's expression was initially confused but then she realized: "You mean our holy relic? Did you orchestrate this plot of the outsiders?"
tián xiāng xiān shì yǒu xiē cuò è ， dàn hěn kuài què yòu xiàng shì xiǎng tōng le shén me ， fǔ zhǎng dà xiào qǐ lái le ：“ liǎo bù qǐ ， dàng zhēn liǎo bù dé ， néng gòu jìn rù huà lóng chí bù bèi tóng huà ， biàn shì dāng nián de ā xiū luó ， yě bù gǎn shuō yǒu jué duì de bǎ wò ， zhè me shuō ， lán sè xīng hǎi zhēn de zài nǐ shǒu lǐ miàn le ？”
田襄先是有些错愕，但很快却又像是想通了什么，抚掌大笑起来了：“了不起，当真了不得，能够进入化龙池不被同化，便是当年的阿修罗，也不敢说有绝对的把握，这么说，蓝色星海真的在你手里面了？”
Her eyes filled with deep hatred at that point.
“ lán sè xīng hǎi ， shén me lán sè xīng hǎi ？”
“蓝色星海，什么蓝色星海？”
Back then, the Black Moon Clan disappeared because of this treasure. She entered the Dragon Transformation Pool as a desperate ploy to survive.
tiān wū shén nǚ biǎo qíng xiān shì yǒu xiē máng rán ， suí hòu xǐng wù guò lái ：“ nǐ shì shuō wǒ zú nà jiàn shèng wù ， zěn me ， yù wài tiān mó de yīn móu ， zuì zhōng yě shì nǐ gǎo de guǐ me ？”
天巫神女表情先是有些茫然，随后醒悟过来：“你是说我族那件圣物，怎么，域外天魔的阴谋，最终也是你搞的鬼么？”
Fortunately, heaven was kind; not only did she deceive those outsiders but also gained much in terms of cultivation.
shuō dào zhè lǐ ， cǐ nǚ yǎn zhōng liú lù chū shēn qiè de hèn yì 。
说到这里，此女眼中流露出深切的恨意。
"Plot? Ha! If I wanted to deal with the Black Moon Clan, would I need to play dirty? You must be overestimating yourself."
dāng nián ， mò yuè zú zhī suǒ yǐ xiāo shī ， jiù shì yīn wèi zhè jiàn bǎo wù ， ér tā jìn rù huà lóng chí ， yě shì zhì zhī sǐ dì ér hòu shēng de kǔ ròu jì 。
当年，墨月族之所以消失，就是因为这件宝物，而她进入化龙池，也是置之死地而后生的苦肉计。
Tian Xiang sneered, his face showing a look of disbelief.
hǎo zài zǎo tiān kě lián jiàn ， bù jǐn piàn guò le nà xiē yù wài tiān mó ， ér qiě yīn huò dé fú ， cóng cǐ xiū wèi dà jìn le xǔ duō 。
好在早天可怜见，不仅骗过了那些域外天魔，而且因祸得福，从此修为大进了许多。
The Celestial Witch Goddess's eyebrows rose but she quickly suppressed her anger. The other's words were not pleasant, but they made sense: as one of the top true immortals, the Black Moon Clan was insignificant to him.
“ yīn móu ， hēng ， ruò yào duì fù mò yuè zú ， yǐ běn zuò de shí lì ， yě xū yào wán yīn de me ， wǒ kàn nǐ shì tài gāo kàn zì jǐ le 。”
“阴谋，哼，若要对付墨月族，以本座的实力，也需要玩阴的么，我看你是太高看自己了。”
Seeing Tian Xiang remain silent, he turned to Lin Xuan: "Since the Celestial Witch Goddess didn't get this item, it must have fallen into Big Brother's hands. After all, you were once Feathering and valued this item greatly; I don't believe you didn't do anything before reincarnating."
tián xiāng lěng xiào yī shēng ， liǎn shàng mǎn shì bù yǐ wéi rán de shén sè 。
田襄冷笑一声，脸上满是不以为然的神色。
Lin Xuan sighed. With things as they were, denial was meaningless.
tiān wū shén nǚ dài méi yī tiāo ， dàn suí jí yòu rěn xià le xīn zhōng de fèn nù ， duì fāng huà suī rán bù zhōng tīng ， dàn dào lǐ què rán shì zhè yàng méi cuò ， táng táng zhēn xiān zhī zhōng de dì yī qiáng zhě ， xiǎo xiǎo de mò yuè zú ， què rán shì rù bù liǎo tā fǎ yǎn de 。
天巫神女黛眉一挑，但随即又忍下了心中的愤怒，对方话虽然不中听，但道理确然是这样没错，堂堂真仙之中的第一强者，小小的墨月族，确然是入不了他法眼的。
He raised his right hand, palm facing up, and the Blue Star Sea began to circulate within him. Beautiful light points flowed through his body, reaching his palms.
jiàn duì fāng chén mò ， tián xiāng dǎo shì zhuǎn guò le tóu lú ， zhè yī cì què shì duì zhe lín xuān de ：“ tiān wū shén nǚ jì rán méi yǒu dé dào cǐ wù ， xiǎng bì shì luò dào le dà gē shǒu lǐ ， bì jìng nǐ dāng nián kě shì huà yǔ ， yòu rú cǐ kàn zhòng zhè jiàn dōng xī ， wǒ bù xiāng xìn ， nǐ zài tóu tāi zhuǎn shì qián ， jiù méi yǒu zuò yī zuò shǒu jiǎo dì 。”
见对方沉默，田襄倒是转过了头颅，这一次却是对着林轩的：“天巫神女既然没有得到此物，想必是落到了大哥手里，毕竟你当年可是化羽，又如此看重这件东西，我不相信，你在投胎转世前，就没有做一做手脚地。”
The sky darkened instantly; countless silver, beautiful light points swirled in his palm like stars in the heavens.
lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì ， shì yǐ zhì cǐ fǒu rèn yě méi yǒu yì yì 。
林轩叹了口气，事已至此否认也没有意义。
"Star Sea!"
tā jiāng yòu shǒu yī tái ， zhǎng xīn xiàng shàng fān zhuǎn ， tǐ nèi lán sè xīng hǎi kāi shǐ yùn zhuàn ， měi lì de guāng diǎn shùn zhe sì zhī bǎi hái ， liú tǎng dào le shǒu zhǎng shàng miàn 。
他将右手一抬，掌心向上翻转，体内蓝色星海开始运转，美丽的光点顺着四肢百骸，流淌到了手掌上面。
"Exactly, it's this item. With it, we can re-open the path to immortality."
dùn shí ， tiān kōng wèi zhī yī àn ma ， wú shù yín sè de měi lì guāng diǎn ， jiù zài tā de zhǎng xīn shàng miàn yóu dòng xuán zhuǎn ， měi lì rú tóng tiān shàng de xīng chén yì bān 。
顿时，天空为之一黯吗，无数银色的美丽光点，就在他的掌心上面游动旋转，美丽如同天上的星辰一般。
Several voices of surprise echoed in Lin Xuan's ears—whether you were Li Yutong or Ice Soul, their expressions were filled with fervor.
“ xīng hǎi ！”
“星海！”
It wasn't entirely unexpected; after all, they already knew that Lin Xuan was no ordinary cultivator but Feathering reincarnated. Thus, him possessing the Blue Star Sea was perfectly logical.
“ méi cuò ， jiù shì cǐ wù ， yǒu tā xiān líng tōng dào jiù kě yǐ chóng xīn kāi qǐ le 。”
“没错，就是此物，有它仙灵通道就可以重新开启了。”
All the mysteries had been revealed, so now awaited the final decision... or rather, a duel. Given Tian Xiang's character, there would be no handshake and agreement; one must fall for victory.
lín xuān ěr biān chuán lái jǐ shēng jīng hū ， bù lùn nǐ lǐ yǔ tóng hái shì bīng pò ， wàng xiàng cǐ wù de biǎo qíng dōu chōng mǎn le huǒ rè 。
林轩耳边传来几声惊呼，不论你李雨桐还是冰魄，望向此物的表情都充满了火热。
In this battle, someone must perish, and the victor could enjoy their triumph.
dàn yě bù suàn yì wài tài guò ， bì jìng yǐ jīng zhī dào le lín xuān bìng fēi pǔ tōng de xiū xiān zhě ， ér shì huà yǔ zhuǎn shì ， nà tā yōng yǒu lán sè xīng hǎi yě jiù shì shùn lǐ chéng zhāng de 。
但也不算意外太过，毕竟已经知道了林轩并非普通的修仙者，而是化羽转世，那他拥有蓝色星海也就是顺理成章的。
"Indeed, indeed, the Blue Star Sea has truly been obtained by you. Not only that, but even the Nine Heavens Immortal Maiden has betrayed me. Hmph, unable to fly with you in your previous life, I still won't give up this opportunity after five million years. Should I call herclinging and sentimentalor foolish?"
yī qiè mí dǐ dōu jiē kāi le ， nà me xiàn zài děng dài de jiù shì zuì hòu de jué zé …… bù ， yīng gāi shì jué dòu ， bì jìng yǐ tián xiāng de xìng gé ， jué bú huì yǔ tā men yǒu wò shǒu yán hé yī shuō 。
一切谜底都揭开了，那么现在等待的就是最后的抉择……不，应该是决斗，毕竟以田襄的性格，绝不会与他们有握手言和一说。
"Ugh!"
zhè yī cháng dòu fǎ ， bì xū yǒu rén yǔn luò ， shèng lì de yī fāng ， cái kě yǐ xiāo yáo kuài huó 。
这一场斗法，必须有人陨落，胜利的一方，才可以逍遥快活。
The Nine Heavens Immortal Maiden's face showed a mix of embarrassment and anger, but even such an action didn't diminish her nobility: "Tian Xiang, don't assume everyone is like you. How my husband treated you, you know best in your heart; how did you repay him? Even if there was no connection between us, I would be ashamed to associate with you. So, what betrayal are we talking about?"
“ bù cuò ， bù cuò ， lán sè xīng hǎi ， guǒ rán hái shì bèi nǐ dé dào le ， bù jǐn rú cǐ ， lián jiǔ tiān xuán nǚ ， yě bèi bǎn le wǒ ， hēng ， qián shì wú fǎ hé nǐ bǐ yì shuāng fēi ， wǔ bǎi wàn nián hòu ， yī jiù bù yuàn yì fàng qì zhè yàng de jī huì ， hēng ， wǒ gāi shuō tā shì zhí zhuó duō qíng ne ， hái shì yú mèi 。”
“不错，不错，蓝色星海，果然还是被你得到了，不仅如此，连九天玄女，也背板了我，哼，前世无法和你比翼双飞，五百万年后，依旧不愿意放弃这样的机会，哼，我该说她是执着多情呢，还是愚昧。”
"Indeed, that's a fair point."
“ pēi ！”
“呸！”
Lin Xuan watched Tian Xiang's response and felt even more vigilant.
jiǔ tiān xuán nǚ de liǎn shàng fú xiàn chū yī sī xiū nù ， dàn jí biàn shì zhè yàng de dòng zuò ， yī jiù wú sǔn tā de gāo guì ：“ tián xiāng ， bú yào jiāng rén rén dōu xiǎng xiàng dé yǔ nǐ yī yàng ， dāng nián fū jūn dài nǐ rú hé ， nǐ zì jǐ ， xīn zhōng zuì shì yǒu shù ， ér nǐ ， yòu shì rú hé bào dá de ， jí biàn wǒ yǔ fū jūn zhī jiān bù céng yǒu rèn hé guān xì ， yě xiū yú nǐ wéi wǔ ， jì rán rú cǐ ， yòu tán dé shàng bèi pàn shén me ？”
九天玄女的脸上浮现出一丝羞怒，但即便是这样的动作，依旧无损她的高贵：“田襄，不要将人人都想象得与你一样，当年夫君待你如何，你自己，心中最是有数，而你，又是如何报答的，即便我与夫君之间不曾有任何关系，也羞于你为伍，既然如此，又谈得上背叛什么？”
Although Tian Xiang was shameless, his character was impeccable; he showed not the slightest flaw.
“ ń ， zhè huà dào yě bù cuò 。”
“嗯，这话倒也不错。”

The changes didn't stop there.
In the next moment, this woman let out a sharp cry. A swirling green hurricane appeared out of nowhere, just as grandiose and filled with powerful energy.
Extremely pure spiritual essence!
Lin Xuan was quite familiar with it; it was no different from his own practice of Black Moon Celestial Witch Art, without any hint of demonic energy.
The two hurricanes were independent yet complemented each other beautifully.
The Celestial Witch Goddess's expression grew serious. Suddenly, her right hand shot up and she touched a point between her brows!
A black line appeared on her forehead.
Then, slowly opening her eyes, it seemed as if she had gained a third eye.
No, that wasn't an eye.
For there was no pupil or any other such existence; instead, a small snake emerged from within.
This snake was only about a foot long and thinner than a chopstick. However, the pressure it emitted was astonishing, surpassing even the mosttop-grade spirit artifact.

The others were fine, but Lin Xuan almost thought he had seen wrong. This wasn't the secret technique of the Treasure Snake, the Ancestral Spirit ≮↓¤. Snake?

The Celestial Witch Goddess's expression was initially confused but then she realized: "You mean our holy relic? Did you orchestrate this plot of the outsiders?"
Her eyes filled with deep hatred at that point.
Back then, the Black Moon Clan disappeared because of this treasure. She entered the Dragon Transformation Pool as a desperate ploy to survive.
Fortunately, heaven was kind; not only did she deceive those outsiders but also gained much in terms of cultivation.
"Plot? Ha! If I wanted to deal with the Black Moon Clan, would I need to play dirty? You must be overestimating yourself."
Tian Xiang sneered, his face showing a look of disbelief.
The Celestial Witch Goddess's eyebrows rose but she quickly suppressed her anger. The other's words were not pleasant, but they made sense: as one of the top true immortals, the Black Moon Clan was insignificant to him.
Seeing Tian Xiang remain silent, he turned to Lin Xuan: "Since the Celestial Witch Goddess didn't get this item, it must have fallen into Big Brother's hands. After all, you were once Feathering and valued this item greatly; I don't believe you didn't do anything before reincarnating."
Lin Xuan sighed. With things as they were, denial was meaningless.
He raised his right hand, palm facing up, and the Blue Star Sea began to circulate within him. Beautiful light points flowed through his body, reaching his palms.
The sky darkened instantly; countless silver, beautiful light points swirled in his palm like stars in the heavens.
"Star Sea!"
"Exactly, it's this item. With it, we can re-open the path to immortality."
Several voices of surprise echoed in Lin Xuan's ears—whether you were Li Yutong or Ice Soul, their expressions were filled with fervor.
It wasn't entirely unexpected; after all, they already knew that Lin Xuan was no ordinary cultivator but Feathering reincarnated. Thus, him possessing the Blue Star Sea was perfectly logical.
All the mysteries had been revealed, so now awaited the final decision... or rather, a duel. Given Tian Xiang's character, there would be no handshake and agreement; one must fall for victory.
In this battle, someone must perish, and the victor could enjoy their triumph.
"Indeed, indeed, the Blue Star Sea has truly been obtained by you. Not only that, but even the Nine Heavens Immortal Maiden has betrayed me. Hmph, unable to fly with you in your previous life, I still won't give up this opportunity after five million years. Should I call herclinging and sentimentalor foolish?"
"Ugh!"
The Nine Heavens Immortal Maiden's face showed a mix of embarrassment and anger, but even such an action didn't diminish her nobility: "Tian Xiang, don't assume everyone is like you. How my husband treated you, you know best in your heart; how did you repay him? Even if there was no connection between us, I would be ashamed to associate with you. So, what betrayal are we talking about?"
"Indeed, that's a fair point."
Lin Xuan watched Tian Xiang's response and felt even more vigilant.
Although Tian Xiang was shameless, his character was impeccable; he showed not the slightest flaw.
Despite having their own trump cards, against such a Daoist ancestor, their chances of winning were slim. (Join our amazing giveaway! Win cool phones and more by following our official WeChat account: "ddxiaos"!)
