Field Xiang did not break his promise and truly opened the Immortal Spirit Channel. Although there was no longer a blue star sea, with his current strength, he could still accomplish this.
tián xiāng bìng méi yǒu shí yán ， zhēn de jiāng xiān líng tōng dào dǎ kāi ， suī rán méi yǒu le lán sè xīng hǎi ， dàn yǐ tā rú jīn de shí lì ， yě kě yǐ zuò dào zhè yì diǎn 。
田襄并没有食言，真的将仙灵通道打开，虽然没有了蓝色星海，但以他如今的实力，也可以做到这一点。
This outcome left all those powerful beings who had been anxious with great joy. They originally had no choice, but now it seemed that fate had indeed thrown them a bone.
rú cǐ jié guǒ ， ràng nà xiē xīn zhōng tǎn tè de dà néng wú bù kuáng xǐ 。
如此结果，让那些心中忐忑的大能无不狂喜。
These were all realm masters, each with varying strengths, yet they had all reached the late Transcendation stage and survived through numerous trials without falling. Their cultivation was even more formidable. Moreover, Field Xiang was helping them at present.
yuán běn tā men shì méi yǒu xuǎn zé ， wàn wàn bù céng xiǎng tiān shàng hái zhēn diào xiàn bǐng le 。
原本他们是没有选择，万万不曾想天上还真掉馅饼了。
There was virtually no suspense; most of these individuals ascended to become immortals.
zhè xiē dōu shì yī jiè qiáng zhě ， shí lì suī rán yǒu chā yì ， dàn yě dōu dá dào le dù jié hòu qī ， yóu qí shì jīng lì le zhè me duō biàn gù hái méi yǒu yǔn luò ， xiū wèi nà jiù gèng jiā liǎo de ， gèng bú yòng shuō yǎn qián hái yǒu tián xiāng de bāng zhù 。
这些都是一界强者，实力虽然有差异，但也都达到了渡劫后期，尤其是经历了这么多变故还没有陨落，修为那就更加了得，更不用说眼前还有田襄的帮助。
Only a few unfortunate souls perished.
jī hū fēn háo xuán niàn yě wú ， zhè xiē jiā huo dà bù fèn dōu fēi shēng chéng xiān diào le 。
几乎分毫悬念也无，这些家伙大部分都飞升成仙掉了。
As a result, Field Xiang gained many new allies.
zhǐ yǒu shǎo shù yùn qì bù hǎo zhī rén yǔn luò 。
只有少数运气不好之人陨落。
After all, once they successfully ascended, their cultivation power would be converted into immortal spirit energy. Their strength wouldn’t leap, but it would certainly grow significantly.
rú cǐ yī lái ， tián xiāng yòu duō chū bù shǎo bāng shǒu 。
如此一来，田襄又多出不少帮手。
"Hmph, trying to replace me or muddy the waters—thinking you can outwit me? I'll make you regret it," Field Xiang's lips curled into a sinister smile.
yào zhī dào fēi shēng chéng gōng yǐ hòu ， yī shēn fǎ lì zhuǎn huà wèi xiān líng lì ， tā men de shí lì bù shuō fēi yuè ， nà kěn dìng shì yǒu bù shǎo chéng zhǎng de 。
要知道飞升成功以后，一身法力转化为仙灵力，他们的实力不说飞跃，那肯定是有不少成长的。
He admitted that the Asura King was a prodigy whose plans from millions of years ago still caused him great headaches. But as they say, one can avoid the first day but not the fifteenth.
“ hēng ， lǐ dài táo jiāng ， hái shì hún shuǐ mō yú ， xiǎng yào hé wǒ wán xīn jī ， wǒ huì ràng nǐ men hòu huǐ dì 。” tián xiāng de zuǐ jiǎo biān lù chū yī sī yīn xiǎn de xiào yì 。
“哼，李代桃僵，还是浑水摸鱼，想要和我玩心机，我会让你们后悔地。”田襄的嘴角边露出一丝阴险的笑意。
The enemy’s temporary escape was merely a short-term strategy; in the end, their ultimate fate would be decided by strength alone. There could be no shortcuts here.
tā chéng rèn ， ā xiū luó wáng jīng cái jué yàn ， shù bǎi wàn nián qián de móu huà ， yī jiù ràng tā tóu téng wú bǐ ， dàn sú huà shuō ， duǒ dé le chū yī ， duǒ bù liǎo shí wǔ 。
他承认，阿修罗王惊才绝艳，数百万年前的谋划，依旧让他头疼无比，但俗话说，躲得了初一，躲不了十五。
Field Xiang knew his own strength well. What difference did it make if the Asura King temporarily dodged them?
duì fāng cǐ shí néng gòu táo tuō ， yě bù guò yī shí de quán yí zhī cè ， zuì zhōng yào jué shēng sǐ ， fēn shèng fù ， hái shì yào yǐ shí lì shuō huà de ， zhè yì diǎn ， fēn háo qǔ qiǎo bù dé 。
对方此时能够逃脱，也不过一时的权宜之策，最终要决生死，分胜负，还是要以实力说话的，这一点，分毫取巧不得。
A fly trying to stop a cart!
ér zì jǐ de shí lì ， tián xiāng xīn zhōng yǒu shù ， duì fāng yī shí de táo bì ， yòu gǎi biàn dé le shén me ？
而自己的实力，田襄心中有数，对方一时的逃避，又改变得了什么？
Despite all the Asura King’s efforts, they were destined for failure.
táng bì dǎng chē ！
螳臂挡车！
Field Xiang was confident but would not be overly lenient either. With so many subordinates now at his disposal, ordinary attacks on this strange cocoon were useless. His current task was to understand what kind of treasure it truly was.
ā xiū luó wáng fèi jìn xīn jī ， rán ér suǒ yǒu de nǔ lì ， zhù dìng shì tú láo dì 。
阿修罗王费尽心机，然而所有的努力，注定是徒劳地。
...
tián xiāng xìn xīn shí zú ， dāng rán ， tā yě bú huì yǒu fàng rèn yī shuō 。
田襄信心十足，当然，他也不会有放任一说。
A day in the mountains equaled a thousand years in the world below.
rú jīn dà pī shǒu xià yǐ jīng yǒu le ， pǔ tōng de gōng jī ， duì zhè gǔ guài de cán jiǎn yòu méi yǒu yòng tú 。 nà me tā xiàn zài yào zuò de ， jiù shì cān tòu zhè jiū jìng shì yī jiàn shén me bǎo wù 。
如今大批手下已经有了，普通的攻击，对这古怪的蚕茧又没有用途。那么他现在要做的，就是参透这究竟是一件什么宝物。
Three years passed—considered long for mortals but merely a fleeting moment for cultivators like them. The mysterious artifact, self-contained within its space, offered pleasant scenery and satisfactory conditions.
……
……
Previously, Lin Xuan had been the dominant figure with Moon together. He made all decisions, big or small. Now, however, he followed her guidance in practicing what was said to be a technique that could transplant skills.
shān zhōng zhǐ yī rì ， rén jiān yǐ qiān nián 。
山中只一日，人间已千年。
He hadn’t expected it to go as smoothly as it did.
sān nián de guāng yīn 。 duì yú fán rén lái shuō ， bù suàn duǎn 。 rán ér duì yú tā men zhè ge jìng jiè de xiū shì lái shuō ， què shì dàn zhǐ jí guò 。
三年的光阴。对于凡人来说，不算短。然而对于他们这个境界的修士来说，却是弹指即过。
One reason was his current strength, already at the top of the three realms and surpassing ordinary True Immortals.
nà shén mì de bǎo wù ， zì chéng kōng jiān ， miàn jī suī rán bù dà ， fēng jǐng què shì bù sú ， gè fāng miàn de tiáo jiàn ， yì shì lìng rén mǎn yì de 。
那神秘的宝物，自成空间，面积虽然不大，风景却是不俗，各方面的条件，亦是令人满意的。
The other reason was that although this secret technique was incredibly powerful, its main challenge lay in using three treasures: the blue star sea, Nine Heavenspitchstone, and the Five Dragon Seal. With all these in place, their cultivation became relatively easy for cultivators of their level.
yǐ qián lín xuān yǔ yuè ér zài yì qǐ ， dōu shì yǐ tā wéi zhǔ 。 dà shì xiǎo shì ， jiē yóu lín xuān ná zhǔ yì ， zhè yī cì ， què shì fǎn qí dào ér xíng zhī ， bì jìng yuè ér yǐ jīng yǒu le ā xiū luó wáng de shí lì yǔ jì yì 。
以前林轩与月儿在一起，都是以他为主。大事小事，皆由林轩拿主意，这一次，却是反其道而行之，毕竟月儿已经有了阿修罗王的实力与记忆。
In just two years, Lin Xuan had mastered the technique to a high degree.
yóu qí shì xiàn zài xíng shì wēi jí ， lín xuān gèng shì xū xīn yǐ jí ， zài tā de zhǐ dǎo xià xiū xíng nà hào chēng kě yǐ yí huā jiē mù de mì jì 。
尤其是现在形势危急，林轩更是虚心以极，在她的指导下修行那号称可以移花接木的秘技。
The outcome was naturally satisfactory.
yuán běn yǐ wéi hěn nán 。
原本以为很难。
Despite taking less time than expected, he didn’t rush out.
bǎi liàn shǒu yóu jīn tiān yǐ zhèng shì kāi cè ， xià zài dēng lù ， yùn qì hǎo de huà ， yǒu kě néng zhǎn huò dà lǐ 。 bāo kuò píng guǒ xiǎo mǐ ó ， gè wèi dào yǒu bù kě cuò guò ， shì shì yùn qì 。 yì qǐ wán shǒu yóu ba

Another year would give him more preparation and increase his chances of defeating Field Xiang.
méi xiǎng dào jìn zhǎn què bǐ xiǎng xiàng de shùn lì 。
没想到进展却比想象的顺利。
From the Nine Heavens Immortal Lady, he received an unexpected gift: Chaos Xuan Yang qi.
yī lái me ， lín xuān rú jīn de shí lì ， yǐ shì sān jiè dǐng jí ， shèn zhì yǐ jīng chāo guò le pǔ tōng zhēn xiān de jìng dì 。
一来么，林轩如今的实力，已是三界顶级，甚至已经超过了普通真仙的境地。
This was exactly what Lin Xuan had sought for years. With it, the Illusory Spirit Heavenly Fire could finally be cultivated to its peak.
zhì yú zhè dì èr diǎn ， cǐ mì shù suī rán shén miào yǐ jí ， dàn xiū xíng de nán diǎn qí shí shì yào yòng dào sān jiàn bǎo wù ， lán sè xīng hǎi ， jiǔ tiān xī rǎng ， wǔ lóng xǐ 。
至于这第二点，此秘术虽然神妙以极，但修行的难点其实是要用到三件宝物，蓝色星海，九天息壤，五龙玺。
Chaos qi and Yin qi—mythical true immortals would retreat from such power.
quē yī bù kě 。 ér yí dàn còu zú ， duì yú tā men zhè ge jìng jiè de xiū xiān zhě 。 xiū liàn qǐ lái ， qí shí hěn róng yì 。
缺一不可。而一旦凑足，对于他们这个境界的修仙者。修炼起来，其实很容易。
Ordinary True Immortals were already beyond his concern, but the fully matured Illusory Spirit Heavenly Fire now posed a threat to Field Xiang.
liǎng nián 。 lín xuān zhǐ huā fèi le liǎng nián de guāng yīn ， jiù jiāng cǐ mì shù ， xiū liàn dào le dà chéng de dì bù 。
两年。林轩只花费了两年的光阴，就将此秘术，修炼到了大成的地步。
This was a tranquil abode. Lin Xuan sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, radiating a blue light. His fingers moved rapidly as an egg-sized five-colored flame floated in his palm. Above it, a golden gas hovered.
rú cǐ jié guǒ ， zì rán shì jiē dà huān xǐ 。
如此结果，自然是皆大欢喜。
It appeared golden but seemed ethereal upon closer inspection, its color constantly changing.
huā fèi de shí jiān ， shàng bù zú yuán xiān de yù jì 。
花费的时间，尚不足原先的预计。
With each spell cast by Lin Xuan, the Illusory Spirit Heavenly Fire flickered, and a silver gas emerged from within.
dàn lín xuān bìng méi yǒu máng zhe chū qù 。
但林轩并没有忙着出去。
Chaos Yin qi.
hái yǒu yī nián ， duō yī fēn zhǔn bèi ， zhàn shèng tián xiāng de xī wàng yě jiù gèng dà yī xiē 。
还有一年，多一分准备，战胜田襄的希望也就更大一些。
The two Chaos qis then merged into a Taiji diagram of gold and silver. The light was intense, containing profound cosmic laws.
cóng jiǔ tiān xuán nǚ nà lǐ ， tā dé dào le yī fèn yì wài de lǐ wù 。
从九天玄女那里，他得到了一份意外的礼物。
Chaos Law!
hùn dùn xuán yáng zhī qì 。
混沌玄阳之气。
This was power very close to the essence of the universe.
zhè zhèng shì lín xuān duō nián lái ， kǔ xún ér bù kě dé de bǎo wù ， yǒu le tā ， huàn líng tiān huǒ zhōng yú kě yǐ xiū liàn dào dà chéng de dì bù 。
这正是林轩多年来，苦寻而不可得的宝物，有了它，幻灵天火终于可以修炼到大成的地步。
Unfortunately, time was limited. With his own strength alone, he might one day ascend to become a Primordial Ancestor and defeat Field Xiang without resorting to tricks.
hùn dùn èr qì ， chuán shuō zhēn xiān yě yào tuì bì 。
混沌二气，传说真仙也要退避。
But now… it could only be a thought.
pǔ tōng de zhēn xiān ， lín xuān zǎo yǐ kě yǐ bù zài hū ， dàn dà chéng hòu de huàn líng tiān huǒ ， wēi néng yǐ néng gòu wēi xié dào tián xiāng nà jiā huo 。
普通的真仙，林轩早已可以不在乎，但大成后的幻灵天火，威能已能够威胁到田襄那家伙。
"Haha, Third Brother has indeed done well."
zhè shì yī jìng mì de dòng fǔ ， lín xuān pán xī ér zuò ， shuāng mù jǐn bì ， hún shēn qīng guāng liú lí ， shí zhǐ yuè dòng bù yǐ ， shǒu zhǎng jiān yī tuán jī dàn dà xiǎo de huǒ yàn ， qīng qīng piāo fú zài nà lǐ ， wǔ sè liú lí 。
这是一静谧的洞府，林轩盘膝而坐，双目紧闭，浑身青光琉璃，十指跃动不已，手掌间一团鸡蛋大小的火焰，轻轻漂浮在那里，五色琉璃。
"That's right; my husband is always very clever."
ér zài huǒ yàn de shàng kōng ， zé piāo fú zhe yī dào jīn sè de qì tǐ 。
而在火焰的上空，则漂浮着一道金色的气体。
Seeing Lin Xuan’s progress, the others were also elated. Regardless of their past grievances, facing this formidable enemy together, they united in purpose and collaborated wholeheartedly.
shuō shì jīn sè 。
说是金色。
During this process, their relationships changed.
dàn zǐ xì yī kàn ， què yòu jué de hěn shì xū wú ， nà yán sè zài bù tíng de biàn huà zhe 。
但仔细一看，却又觉得很是虚无，那颜色在不停的变化着。
The fastest progress was made by Cloud Fairy, who had known Lin Xuan for the longest time but had been entangled with him due to past grudges. In fact, their love-hate relationship began in a previous life.
bàn suí zhe lín xuān yī dào dào fǎ jué dǎ chū ， huàn líng tiān huǒ yī zhèn shǎn shuò ， yòu yī dào yín sè de qì tǐ cóng lǐ miàn piāo fēi chū lái le 。
伴随着林轩一道道法诀打出，幻灵天火一阵闪烁，又一道银色的气体从里面飘飞出来了。
Perhaps fate was cruel, as they always missed each other. Now, Qin Yan finally spoke up to claim her happiness.
hùn dùn tài yīn zhī qì 。
混沌太阴之气。
Reserved, yes, perhaps somewhat so, but thinking of the battle three years hence, the outcome remained uncertain. If they lost, everyone would scatter.
suí hòu hùn dùn èr qì hù xiāng róng hé ， yī jīn yín èr sè de tài jí tú zài yǎn lián zhōng fú xiàn ér chū 。
随后混沌二气互相融合，一金银二色的太极图在眼帘中浮现而出。
Since that was the case, why not continue their previous relationship? (To be continued)
Field Xiang did not break his promise and truly opened the Immortal Spirit Channel. Although there was no longer a blue star sea, with his current strength, he could still accomplish this.
