#### Chapter 532: Side Path Treasure Artifacts
shì yī zhī cí wǎn 。 biǎo miàn háo wú guāng zé 。 zhì xiǎn de yǒu xiē cán pò 。 zhǎng lǎo de yǎn zhōng 。 què xiǎn chū zhèng zhòng yǐ jí shén sè 。
是一只瓷碗。表面毫无光泽。至显的有些残破。长老的眼中。却显出郑重以极神色。
It was a porcelain bowl. Its surface had no luster and appeared somewhat broken, yet the elder's eyes revealed an extremely serious expression.
lín xuān yǒu xiē jīng yà 。 dàn sú huà shuō hǎo 。 rén bù kě mào xiàng 。 hǎi bù kě dòu liàng 。 qí shí zhè bǎo wù yě yī yàng 。
林轩有些惊讶。但俗话说好。人不可貌相。海不可斗量。其实这宝物也一样。
Lin Xuan was slightly surprised but remembered the old saying: "One cannot judge a book by its cover." This principle applied to treasure artifacts as well. The other party knew that Lin Xuan wasn't easy to deal with, yet still brought out this item, indicating they had some reliance on it.
duì fāng míng zhī zì jǐ bù hǎo fù 。 hái ná chū cǐ wù 。 kěn dìng shì yǒu suǒ yǐ zhàng de 。
对方明知自己不好付。还拿出此物。肯定是有所倚仗的。
However, Lin Xuan naturally wasn't afraid of anything. He waved his hands and lightly cast them, transforming the drifting cloud and falling snow sword into a streak of blue light, which fiercely slashed at the opponent.
dàn lín xuān zì rán yě bú huì wèi jù shén me 。 shuāng shǒu huī dòng 。 zài qīng qīng yī zhāo 。 nà níng ér bù de piāo yún luò xuě jiàn lì kè huà wèi yī dào lán sè de jīng hóng 。 xiàng zhe duì fāng hěn hěn zhǎn qù le 。
但林轩自然也不会畏惧什么。双手挥动。再轻轻一招。那凝而不的飘云落雪剑立刻化为一道蓝色的惊虹。向着对方狠狠斩去了。
H Elder remained unperturbed. Before him was an ancient relic, and the earth wall that emerged from it was solid and heavy, sufficient to withstand the attack of Lin Xuan's immortal sword.
hú zhǎng lǎo bù wèi suǒ dòng 。 tā de shēn qián hái yǒu huáng pà gǔ bǎo 。 biàn huà ér chū de tǔ qiáng jiān shí hòu zhòng 。 zú yǐ dǐ dǎng duì fāng xiān jiàn de jìn gōng 。
胡长老不为所动。他的身前还有黄帕古宝。变化而出的土墙坚实厚重。足以抵挡对方仙剑的进攻。
Meanwhile, he muttered words, rapidly tapping his head with both hands as if possessed. His actions were somewhat comical, but Lin Xuan didn't dare underestimate them. As the bowl followed the incantation, its color gradually deepened, emitting black and red light, taking on a mysterious appearance.
ér tā zì jǐ 。 kǒu zhōng yǒu cí 。 liǎng shǒu xiàng chōu fēng shì de duì zhe tóu dǐng de cí wǎn kuáng diǎn bù zhǐ 。 dòng zuò yǒu xiē kě xiào 。 rán ér lín xuān què bù gǎn qīng hū 。 nà wǎn suí zhe zhòu yǔ 。 yán sè jiàn jiàn biàn shēn suì le qǐ lái 。 biǎo miàn dòng zhe hēi hóng èr sè de guāng cǎi 。 xiàn chū jǐ fēn shén mì de mú yàng lái 。
而他自己。口中有词。两手像抽疯似的对着头顶的瓷碗狂点不止。动作有些可笑。然而林轩却不敢轻忽。那碗随着咒语。颜色渐渐变深邃了起来。表面动着黑红二色的光彩。现出几分神秘的模样来。
Although this was the first time Lin Xuan encountered such a treasure artifact, it didn't mean he had never heard of it before. According to common sense, it should be defensive in nature. The opponent seemed to want to drive it against an enemy. Could there be some hidden mechanism?
zhè wǎn lèi fǎ bǎo xuān suī shì dì yī cì yù dào 。 dàn bìng bù dài biǎo yǐ qián bù céng tīng shuō 。 àn zhào cháng lǐ 。 yīng gāi shì fáng yù xìng zhì 。 kàn duì fāng de zi 。 sì hū xiǎng yào qū shǐ gōng dí 。 zhè lǐ miàn nán dào huì yǒu shén me xuán jī ?
这碗类法宝轩虽是第一次遇到。但并不代表以前不曾听说。按照常理。应该是防御性质。看对方的子。似乎想要驱使攻敌。这里面难道会有什么玄机?
Just as Lin Xuan pondered this, "clink" came the sound. The bowl disappeared from H Elder's head and immediately Lin Xuan felt astonishing amounts of qi.
lín xuān gāng xiǎng zhè lǐ 。“” de yī shēng qīng xiǎng chuán lái 。 nà wǎn cóng hú zhǎng lǎo de tóu dǐng xiāo shī 。 suí jí lín xuān jiù gǎn jué dào le jīng rén yǐ jí de líng qì 。
林轩刚想这里。“”的一声轻响传来。那碗从胡长老的头顶消失。随即林轩就感觉到了惊人以极的灵气。
In shock, he looked up and saw that the bowl was inverted above him, its size expanding by a hundred times or more, trapping not only himself but also Moonie as well.
dà jīng zhī xià tā tái qǐ tóu kàn jiàn le cǐ wǎn dào kòu zài le zì jǐ de shàng kōng 。 tǐ jī kuò dà le bǎi bèi yǒu yú 。 bù zhǐ zì jǐ 。 lián yuè ér dōu yì qǐ bèi jìn gù 。
大惊之下他抬起头看见了此碗倒扣在了自己的上空。体积扩大了百倍有余。不止自己。连月儿都一起被禁锢。
Lin Xuan's expression darkened. He glanced down to see countless black and red bodies. Unaware, he hadn't realized this artifact's purpose was to ensnare his opponent.
lín xuān biǎo qíng yī chén 。 dī wàng qù jiǎo shì wú shù hēi hóng sè de tǐ 。 zì jǐ yī shí bù chá 。 méi xiǎng dào cǐ bǎo qǐ de shì kùn dí zuò yòng 。
林轩表情一沉。低望去脚是无数黑红色的体。自己一时不察。没想到此宝起的是困敌作用。
H Elder struck once, his eyes flashing with cruelty and cunning. His sleeves fluttered as several talismans flew out, forming a八卦shape on the bowl's surface. He then transformed into a streak of blue light and flew back to a room behind him.
ér hú zhǎng lǎo yī jī 。 yǎn zhōng yǒu cán rěn yǔ jiǎo zhà de guāng máng shǎn guò xiù páo yī jǐ zhāng fú fēi chū 。 pū pū pū 。 chéng bā guà xíng tiē zài le cí wǎn de biǎo miàn 。 ér tā zì jǐ zé huà wèi yī dào jīng hóng xiàng shēn hòu yī jiān wū zi fēi qù le 。
而胡长老一击。眼中有残忍与狡诈的光芒闪过袖袍一几张符飞出。噗噗噗。呈八卦形贴在了瓷碗的表面。而他自己则化为一道惊虹像身后一间屋子飞去了。
Lin Xuan's face turned extremely ugly. In an instant, he realized the old man's intentions—his heavy scheming. Seeing that he couldn't match in combat, H Elder used this artifact to ensnare himself while he triggered the ancient prohibition array.
lín xuān liǎn sè biàn de nán kàn yǐ jí 。 qǐng kè jiān 。 tā yǐ bái le duì yòng yì gè lǎo jiā huǒ 。 hǎo zhòng de xīn jī 。 yǎn jiàn bù dí 。 jiù yòng cǐ bǎo kùn zhù zì jǐ 。 ér tā zé qù yǐn bào nà shàng gǔ de jìn zhì 。
林轩脸色变的难看以极。顷刻间。他已白了对用意个老家伙。好重的心机。眼见不敌。就用此宝困住自己。而他则去引爆那上古的禁制。
Lin Xuan wouldn't let him succeed. He opened his mouth and a silver ring treasure artifact shot out, spinning around before growing to a size of a foot or so. Lin Xuan gripped one with each hand.
de měi 。 lín xuān zì rán bú huì ràng tā rú yì 。 zhāng kāi kǒu yī yín huán fǎ bǎo cóng zuǐ pēn le chū lái dī liū liū yī zhuǎn 。 dà dào chǐ xǔ lín xuān zuǒ yòu shǒu gè wò shàng yī zhī 。
的美。林轩自然不会让他如意。张开口一银环法宝从嘴喷了出来滴溜溜一转。大到尺许林轩左右手各握上一只。
This ring was beautifully crafted, its surface radiating unique spiritual light—precisely the Nine Heaven Bright Moon Ring he had refined through great effort.
cǐ huán zào xíng jīng měi 。 biǎo miàn liú dòng zhe fēi tóng yī de líng guāng 。 zhèng shì lín xuān fèi jǐn jiǔ niú èr hǔ zhī lì 。 cái níng liàn chū lái de jiǔ tiān míng yuè huán fǎ bǎo 。
此环造型精美。表面流动着非同一的灵光。正是林轩费尽九牛二虎之力。才凝炼出来的九天明月环法宝。
Although he still had many other methods unutilized, the situation was urgent, and he didn't have time to experiment with his techniques. He directly took out his hidden treasure.
suī rán tā hái yǒu zhū duō shǒu duàn wèi céng shī zhǎn 。 dàn cǐ kè shì qíng jǐn jí 。 tā kě méi yǒu shí jiān yī zhǒng yī zhǒng shén tōng de màn màn shì yàn shàng qù 。 zhí jiē jiù ná chū le yā xiāng dǐ de dōng xī 。
虽然他还有诸多手段未曾施展。但此刻事情紧急。他可没有时间一种一种神通的慢慢试验上去。直接就拿出了压箱底的东西。
That bowl wasn't an ordinary object either. After trapping Lin Xuan and Moonie, it immediately released countless purple-red lightning flames inside.
què shuō nà wǎn yě bú shì pǔ tōng zhī wù 。 jiāng lín xuān yǔ yuè ér kòu zhù yǐ hòu lì kè cóng lǐ miàn shì fàng chū wú shù zǐ hóng sè de léi huǒ 。
却说那碗也不是普通之物。将林轩与月儿扣住以后立刻从里面释放出无数紫红色的雷火。
Each flame's power wasn't particularly impressive, but when hundreds of them combined, even a peak condensation core cultivator could barely withstand for more than a moment or two before being blasted to pieces.
měi yī kē wēi lì bù suàn jīng 。 dàn shù bǎi méi yī 。 jiù suàn shì níng dān qī dǐng fēng de xiū shì 。 yě jiān chí bù liǎo duō jiǔ 。 zuì duō yī shí sān kè 。 jiù huì bèi hōng shā zhì zhā 。
每一颗威力不算惊。但数百枚一。就算是凝丹期顶峰的修士。也坚持不了多久。最多一时三刻。就会被轰杀至渣。
H Elder was confident in his artifact. Even if he couldn't kill that detestable sect master, trapping him temporarily would be no problem.
hú zhǎng lǎo duì yú zì jǐ de
胡长老对于自己的
He flashed through the air and arrived at a room in the center of the manor within moments. The room was about ten feet square, empty inside except for intricate patterns on its surface, resembling a complex array.
wù xìn xīn shí zú jiù suàn miè bù liǎo nà kě wù de shǎo mén zhǔ 。 dàn jiāng tā zàn shí kùn zhù 。 què shì yī , wèn tí yě méi yǒu 。
物信心十足就算灭不了那可恶的少门主。但将他暂时困住。却是一,问题也没有。
This wasn't the ancient prohibition array.
tā shēn xíng lián shǎn 。 bù xiāo piàn kè jiù lái dào le zhuāng yuán zhèng zhōng de yī jiān wū zi lǐ miàn 。 cǐ wū yuē yǒu shí zhàng fāng yuán 。 lǐ miàn kōng
他身形连闪。不消片刻就来到了庄园正中的一间屋子里面。此屋约有十丈方圆。里面空
Ancient cultivators had astonishing abilities; they could create arrays that gathered fire, but even with their immense power, it was impossible to make such an array so small.
rú yě 。 méi yǒu duō yú de bǎi shè 。 zhǐ shì de biǎo què héng qī shù bā de yǒu wú shù huā wén 。 kàn shàng qù jiù xiàng yí gè fán fù de fǎ zhèn 。
如也。没有多余的摆设。只是的表却横七竖八的有无数花纹。看上去就像一个繁复的法阵。
This room contained only a part of the array—the central array eye. H Elder had plotted his revenge for centuries and thoroughly studied this array. With one glance, he understood its workings completely. A cruel expression flashed in his eyes as he reached out and tapped his waist pouch.
zhè dāng rán bú shì nà de jìn duàn dà zhèn 。
这当然不是那的禁断大阵。
Several magical flags flew up, along with seven or eight differently colored middle-grade crystal stones appearing in his hands.
gǔ xiū shì shén tōng jīng rén 。 bù zhì chū néng gòu jù jí de huǒ de qí zhèn 。 dàn rèn tā men xiū wèi tōng tiān 。 yě bù kě néng jiāng cǐ zhèn bù zhì rú cǐ xiǎo qiǎo
古修士神通惊人。布置出能够聚集的火的奇阵。但任他们修为通天。也不可能将此阵布置如此小巧
Finally, a flash of light revealed a triangular array disc.
zhè wū zi lǐ de 。 jǐn jǐn shì cǐ zhèn de yī xiǎo bù fèn 。 zhōng shū zhèn yǎn 。
这屋子里的。仅仅是此阵的一小部分。中枢阵眼。
A loud rumbling echoed in Lin Xuan's ears. H Elder turned to see the bowl's surface emitting silver light. His face changed.
hú zhǎng lǎo wèi le bào chóu 。 chǔ xīn jī lǜ le shù bǎi nián zhī jiǔ 。 duì yú yǎn qián de fǎ zhèn 。 zì rán shì yán jiū shí fēn tōng tòu 。 mù yī sǎo 。 jiù yǐ jīng liǎo rán yú xiōng 。 yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī cán rěn zhī sè 。 shēn chū shǒu lái 。 zài yāo jiān de chǔ wù dài shàng lián pāi 。
胡长老为了报仇。处心积虑了数百年之久。对于眼前的法阵。自然是研究十分通透。目一扫。就已经了然于胸。眼中闪过一丝残忍之色。伸出手来。在腰间的储物袋上连拍。
Lin Xuan was indeed clever; not only had he survived the lightning flames but also broken through the prohibition. This boy truly was an heroic youth, but unfortunately, he stood in his way. The bowl wasn't easily breached. Even if it eventually broke free from the prohibition, the explosion of the ancient prohibition array would claim him as a sacrifice to Spirit Herb Mountain.
jǐ gān fǎ qí fēi le qǐ lái 。 hái yǒu qī bā méi yán sè gè yì de zhōng pǐn jīng shí 。 yě chū xiàn zài le tā de zhǎng xīn zhī zhōng 。
几杆法旗飞了起来。还有七八枚颜色各异的中品晶石。也出现在了他的掌心之中。
With this thought, H Elder sneered. He placed several middle-grade crystal stones at the center of the array and cast a spell.
zuì hòu guāng máng yī shǎn 。 què yí gè sān jiǎo xíng de zhèn pán 。
最后光芒一闪。却一个三角形的阵盘。
"Woo woo."
hōng lōng lóng de jù xiǎng chuán rù ěr biān 。 hú zhǎng lǎo huí tóu wàng le yī yǎn 。 zhǐ jiàn zì jǐ nà cí wǎn fǎ bǎo de biǎo miàn 。 yǐn yǐn yǒu yín sè de guāng cǎi yì chū 。 liǎn sè bù yóu yī biàn 。
轰隆隆的巨响传入耳边。胡长老回头望了一眼。只见自己那瓷碗法宝的表面。隐隐有银色的光彩溢出。脸色不由一变。
A slightly muffled sound entered his ears. The solid surface suddenly became like soft marshland. The crystal stones sank in, only their tips remaining visible.
hǎo gè lín xuān 。 bù jǐn méi yǒu bèi léi huǒ hōng shā 。 hái yǒu yú lì pò chú jìn fǎ 。 zhè xiǎo zi dào yě zhēn shì yīng xióng shào nián 。 zhǐ kě xī bù gāi dǎng zì jǐ de lù 。 nà wǎn kě bú shì nà me róng yì gōng pò de 。 jiù suàn zuì zhōng pò jìn ér chū 。 nà hòu jìn duàn dà zhèn yě gāi bào zhà 。 jiù ràng tā gěi líng yào shān péi zàng ba 。
好个林轩。不仅没有被雷火轰杀。还有余力破除禁法。这小子倒也真是英雄少年。只可惜不该挡自己的路。那碗可不是那么容易攻破的。就算最终破禁而出。那候禁断大阵也该爆炸。就让他给灵药山陪葬吧。
The array began to emit faint red light.
xiǎng dào zhè lǐ 。 hú zhǎng lǎo lěng xiào yī shēng 。 xiān jiāng jǐ méi zhōng pǐn jīng shí bǎi zài zhèn yǎn de zhōng yāng 。 suí hòu yī dào fǎ jué dǎ le shàng qù 。
想到这里。胡长老冷笑一声。先将几枚中品晶石摆在阵眼的中央。随后一道法诀打了上去。
H Elder extended his finger and tapped a green magical flag floating before him.
wū wū 。
呜呜。
After the flag's disappearance, he repeated this process, setting up other magical flags.
lüè yǒu xiē chén mèn de shēng xiǎng chuán rù ěr duǒ 。 jiān shí de de biǎo 。 tū rán biàn de yǒu rú sōng ruǎn de zhǎo zé yī yàng 。 jǐ méi jīng shí chén le xià qù 。 zhǐ lù chū jiān jiān de yī jiǎo 。
略有些沉闷的声响传入耳朵。坚实的的表。突然变的有如松软的沼泽一样。几枚晶石沉了下去。只露出尖尖的一角。
"Boom."
zhèn fǎ kāi shǐ fàng chū yíng yíng hóng guāng 。
阵法开始放出莹莹红光。
Just as H Elder was fully focused on setting up the flags, a thunderous explosion echoed in his ears. He froze, then raised his head with a look of shock.
hú zhǎng lǎo shēn chū shǒu zhǐ 。 diǎn xiàng piāo fú yú shēn qián de yī gān lǜ sè fǎ 。
胡长老伸出手指。点像漂浮于身前的一杆绿色法。
No.
cǐ qí yī hòu 。 yě fēi rù wū zi de yī jiǎo bú jiàn le zōng jì 。
此旗一后。也飞入屋子的一角不见了踪迹。
He instinctively rubbed his eyes and saw a silver hurricane rise from nowhere, connecting to the sky. The hurricane contained countless spinning wind blades, creating an impressive spectacle. His magical artifact for trapping demons had already shattered into countless pieces, falling to the ground.
suí hòu tā yòu rú fǎ páo zhì 。 bù zhì qǐ qí tā de fǎ qí 。
随后他又如法炮制。布置起其他的法旗。
"Pfft."
hōng 。
轰。
A mouthful of blood spewed out. This surprised Lin Xuan; he never expected that strange porcelain bowl was actually H Elder's life-bound treasure artifact.
zhèng dāng hú zhǎng lǎo quán xīn bù zhì 。 xīn wú páng wù de shí hòu 。 tū rán yī shēng qíng tiān pī lì bān de jù xiǎng chuán rù ěr duǒ 。 hú zhǎng lǎo yí zhèng 。 suí jí mǎn liǎn hài rán de tái qǐ tóu lái 。
正当胡长老全心布置。心无旁骛的时候。突然一声晴天霹雳般的巨响传入耳朵。胡长老一怔。随即满脸骇然的抬起头来。
After all, condensing a core was not easy, and a life-bound treasure artifact was one of the most precious things for cultivators—whether they were orthodox or evil. They usually chose powerful items primarily for attacks. Such side-path life-bound treasures were virtually unique.
bù 。 néng 。
不。能。
Despite his surprise, Lin Xuan was delighted. He flicked his sleeves, and several silver wind blades shot out.
tā xià yì shí de shēn chū shǒu róu le róu zì jǐ de yǎn jīng 。 zhǐ jiàn yī dào yín sè de jù fēng píng kōng ér qǐ 。 lián tiān jiē de 。 jù fēng zhōng 。 wú shù zhí jìng xǔ de fēng rèn xuán bù zhǐ 。 shēng shì jīng rén 。 ér zì jǐ nà kùn mó zhī bǎo 。 zǎo yǐ huà wèi le wú shù suì piàn 。 diào luò āi 。
他下意识的伸出手揉了揉自己的眼睛。只见一道银色的飓风凭空而起。连天接的。飓风中。无数直径许的风刃旋不止。声势惊人。而自己那困魔之宝。早已化为了无数碎片。掉落埃。
H Elder was naturally enraged. Taking a deep breath, he took out a talisman and pressed it to his chest, temporarily suppressing his injuries.
“ pū 。”
“噗。”
He reached out again, and the thick earth wall reappeared.
lǎo yī kǒu xiān xuè pēn le chū lái 。 zhè dào ràng lín xuān yǒu xiē yì wài 。 tā wàn wàn méi yǒu xiǎng dào 。 gāng cái nà gǔ guài de cí wǎn 。 jū rán shì hú zhǎng lǎo liàn zhì de běn mìng fǎ bǎo 。
老一口鲜血喷了出来。这倒让林轩有些意外。他万万没有想到。刚才那古怪的瓷碗。居然是胡长老炼制的本命法宝。
Just by delaying for a bit longer, he could continue setting up magical flags. Today was truly unlucky; after finally waiting for Fox Feathers to leave elsewhere, this good fortune had been ruined by Lin Xuan's brat.
bì jìng xiū shì níng dān bù yì 。 běn mìng fǎ bǎo kě yǐ shuō shì qí zuì bǎo guì de dōng xī 。 bù lùn shì zhèng dào zhōng rén 。 hái shì mó dào de xiū xiān 。 tōng cháng dōu zé wēi lì jù dà de dōng dōng 。 yǐ gōng jī wéi zhǔ 。 xiàng zhè zhǒng piān mén de běn mìng fǎ bǎo 。 kě yǐ shuō shì wàn zhōng wú yī de 。
毕竟修士凝丹不易。本命法宝可以说是其最宝贵的东西。不论是正道中人。还是魔道的修仙。通常都择威力巨大的东东。以攻击为主。像这种偏门的本命法宝。可以说是万中无一的。
"Boom." Dust flew as the earth wall shattered into pieces and returned to its original form of yellow cloth, now split into seven or eight parts. The artifact could block the drifting cloud and falling snow sword but faced the Nine Heaven Bright Moon Ring, it was only destroyed.
### Cultivated to Immortality
#### Chapter 532: Side Path Treasure Artifacts
It was a porcelain bowl. Its surface had no luster and appeared somewhat broken, yet the elder's eyes revealed an extremely serious expression.
