Chapter 474 - Stone Lion of Seven Star Isle
yī de bàn fǎ 。 jiù shì ràng tā shēng qián de shī tǐ yě tóng yàng biàn chéng jiāng shī 。 rú jiù kě yǐ chéng gōng hé tǐ 。 kě xī nǎ yǒu nà me róng yì 。 zhū duō tiáo jiàn dōu wèi mǎn zú 。 tōng líng kě bú shì zuǐ shàng shuō shuō zhè me qīng sōng 。
一的办法。就是让他生前的尸体也同样变成僵尸。如就可以成功合体。可惜哪有那么容易。诸多条件都未满足。通灵可不是嘴上说说这么轻松。
Lin Xuan’s plan was to turn the corpse into a zombie, ensuring its successful fusion. However, it wasn’t that simple; many conditions hadn't been met. Spirit communication wasn’t as easy as just saying so.
rán ér wú qiǎo bù chéng shū 。 ér xiǎng yào shōu qǔ chā yú zhè jiā huo shī shēn shàng de fǎ bǎo 。 què wú yì jiān gěi le tā tuō kùn de xī wàng 。 bì jìng xiǎo yā tou běn jiù shì hún zhī tǐ 。 xiū de yě shì guǐ dào de dǐng jiān shén tōng 。 huī shǐ chū lái de guǐ qì zì rán jīng chún wú bǐ 。 yú shì shī yīng yǐ cǐ wèi méi jiè 。 bìng shǐ yòng mǒu zhǒng mì fǎ 。 jiāng shī tǐ mó huà 。
然而无巧不成书。儿想要收取插于这家伙尸身上的法宝。却无意间给了他脱困的希望。毕竟小丫头本就是魂之体。修的也是鬼道的顶尖神通。挥使出来的鬼气自然精纯无比。于是尸婴以此为媒介。并使用某种秘法。将尸体魔化。
Yet, sometimes things work out perfectly by chance. As Lin Xuan intended to retrieve the treasure embedded in this monster’s body, he inadvertently gave it hope of escape. After all, the little girl was a spirit entity and mastered top-notch ghost techniques. The ghostly aura she produced was naturally pure. Thus, the corpse infant used this as a medium and employed some secret technique to corrupt its body.
rán ér zhè jǐn jǐn shì tā xiǎng yào tuō kùn de quán yí zhī jì 。 bìng fēi zhēn zhèng de tōng líng jiāng shī 。 suǒ yǐ néng fā huī chū lái de shén tōng yě yǒu xiàn de jǐn 。 bèi lín xuān yǔ yuè ér sān xià wǔ chú èr 。 jiù lián shǒu pò qù 。
然而这仅仅是他想要脱困的权宜之计。并非真正的通灵僵尸。所以能发挥出来的神通也有限的紧。被林轩与月儿三下五除二。就联手破去。
However, this was merely a temporary measure for his escape; he wasn’t truly a spirit communication zombie. Therefore, the powers it could wield were limited. Lin Xuan and Yue'er easily broke through with three swift strikes.
shī yīng xīn zhōng zì shì dà nù rú jīn tā yǐ tuō kùn ér chū 。 jiù suàn méi yǒu shēn tǐ 。 xiū wèi yě shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。 dàn sú huà shuō 。| bù rěn zé luàn dà 。 yī lái tā xīn zhōng lìng yǒu qiān guà 。 èr lái yǐ tā de yǎn guāng 。 yě kàn chū zhè zhǔ pú èr rén bù hǎo rě 。 yuǎn fēi pǔ tōng de níng dān qī xiū shì kě bǐ de 。
尸婴心中自是大怒如今他已脱困而出。就算没有身体。修为也是非同小可。但俗话说。|不忍则乱大。一来他心中另有牵挂。二来以他的眼光。也看出这主仆二人不好惹。远非普通的凝丹期修士可比的。
The corpse infant was furious now that he had escaped. Even without a physical body, his cultivation was formidable. But as an old saying goes: "When one cannot bear to act, great chaos ensues." He had other concerns and recognized the duo’s strength, far beyond ordinary Condensation Core cultivators.
nà mó huà qū tǐ 。 tā - lái jiù dǎ suàn shě qì 。 suǒ yǐ yě bù xiǎng yǔ liǎng rén zài zhè ér zuò wú wèi de zhēng dòu 。 zhí jiē dùn zǒu 。
那魔化躯体。他-来就打算舍弃。所以也不想与两人在这儿做无谓的争斗。直接遁走。
He intended to discard this corrupted body from the start, so he didn’t want a pointless battle here. He directly retreated.
zhè zhōng jiān de yóu 。 lín xuān bìng bù qīng chǔ 。 bù guò shī yīng de shén tōng fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。 zì jǐ jiù suàn bù jù 。 tā yě méi yǒu pà zì jǐ liǎng rén de dào lǐ 。 rú cǐ jí zhe lí kāi 。 kěn dìng shì yǒu bié de yuán yóu 。
这中间的由。林轩并不清楚。不过尸婴的神通非同小可。自己就算不惧。他也没有怕自己两人的道理。如此急着离开。肯定是有别的缘由。
Lin Xuan was unclear about the reason but understood that the corpse infant’s powers were formidable. There was no need for him and Yue'er to fear; there must be another reason for his hasty departure.
zhè shì lín xuān nǎo hǎi zhōng shǒu xiān fú xiàn chū lái de tóu 。 jié hé zì jǐ yī lù shàng de tuī cè 。 lín xuān suī bù gǎn kěn dìng 。 yǒu | me qī bā chéng de bǎ wò le 。
这是林轩脑海中首先浮现出来的头。结合自己一路上的推测。林轩虽不敢肯定。有|么七八成的把握了。
This thought first flashed through Lin Xuan's mind. Considering his journey, he had a seven or eight in ten chance of being right about it.
zǒng ér yán zhī 。 zhè yù xuán zōng liú xià lái jiù suàn shì shén me nì tiān de zhī wù 。 yě kěn dìng fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。
总而言之。这玉玄宗留下来就算是什么逆天的之物。也肯定非同小可。
In any case, whatever the Jade Profound Sect left behind was certainly no trivial matter.
lín xuān tiǎn le tiǎn zuǐ jiǎo 。 shuāng móu zhī zhōng měng shè chū jīng rén de yì máng ：“ yuè ér zǒu 。”
林轩舔了舔嘴角。双眸之中猛射出惊人的异芒：“月儿走。”
Lin Xuan licked his lips and shot out an astonishing aura from his eyes: "Moon, let’s go."
“ shào yé 。 nǐ zhēn yào qù rě nà guài wù ？” yuè ér de liǎn shàng què lù chū yī sī chóu chú 。
“少爷。你真要去惹那怪物？”月儿的脸上却露出一丝踌躇。
"Master, are you really going to provoke that monster?" Yue'er showed a hint of hesitation on her face.
“ shǎ yā tou 。 pà shén me 。, yīng suī rán fēi tóng xiǎo kě bì jìng méi yǒu shēn tǐ 。 shén tōng yuǎn bù jí zhēn zhèng de yuán yīng qī xiū shì 。 dāng chū miàn duì kǒng què xiān zi wǒ èr rén yě bù céng pà guò 。 zhè shí hòu zěn me fǎn ér wèi shǒu wèi wěi le ？”
“傻丫头。怕什么。,婴虽然非同小可毕竟没有身体。神通远不及真正的元婴期修士。当初面对孔雀仙子我二人也不曾怕过。这时候怎么反而畏首畏尾了？”
"Stupid girl, what are you afraid of? Although the corpse infant is formidable, it lacks a physical body. Its powers fall short of true Incarnation Stage cultivators. We weren’t scared when facing Fairy Peacock back then; why be hesitant now?"
“ shào yé shuō shì 。” yuè ér liǎn shàng yī hóng 。 jǐ de gù lǜ shì yǒu xiē tài duō 。 tā kě bù xiǎng bèi shào yé kàn qīng ó 。 wǎn ěr yí xiào 。 fēi huí dào le lín xuān de yī xiù 。
“少爷说是。”月儿脸上一红。己的顾虑是有些太多。她可不想被少爷看轻哦。莞尔一笑。飞回到了林轩的衣袖。
"Master says so." Yue'er blushed. She had too many concerns. She didn't want to be looked down upon by her master. With a smile, she flew back into Lin Xuan’s sleeve.
qīng máng yī shǎn zhǔ pú èr rén yǐ cóng yuán de xiāo shī bú jiàn ……
青芒一闪主仆二人已从原的消失不见……
A green light flashed as the master and disciple duo vanished from sight…
ér zài jù lí cǐ de bù zhī dào yǒu duō yuǎn de lìng yí gè fāng xiàng 。
而在距离此的不知道有多远的另一个方向。
Meanwhile, far away in another direction,
hōng 。 suí zhe yī shēng jù xiǎng líng guāng shǎn shuò 。| shàng gǔ zhèn fǎ zhōng yú zài sān rén yī yāo de kuáng gōng zhī xià 。 huà wèi le fēi yān 。
轰。随着一声巨响灵光闪烁。|上古阵法终于在三人一妖的狂攻之下。化为了飞烟。
With a loud boom, ancient light flickered. The ancient array finally shattered under the trio's relentless assault.
yāo zhèn yī ér qǐ 。 chǒu lòu de miàn róng shàng mǎn shì xiào yì zhè ge láo lóng suī rán dài gěi le tā ān quán 。 ràng tā néng gòu jìng xīn xiū liàn 。 kě yě jiāng qí kùn le jìn bǎi wàn nián 。
妖振衣而起。丑陋的面容上满是笑意这个牢笼虽然带给了他安全。让他能够静心修炼。可也将其困了近百万年。
The demon stood up, his ugly face full of mirth. While this cage provided safety for him to focus on cultivation, it had confined him for nearly a million years.
yǐ qián tā zhǐ shì dī jiē shòu zhī shí 。 bìng bù de yǒu shén me 。 kě zì cóng tà rù huà xíng qī 。 zài rén jiè yǐ jīng hǎn yǒu qí dí 。 zì rán bù yuàn yì jì xù wō jū yú cǐ 。 kě xī nà shàng gǔ zhèn fǎ fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。 jǐn píng tā yī rén shí zài yǐ gōng pò 。
以前他只是低阶兽之时。并不的有什么。可自从踏入化形期。在人界已经罕有其敌。自然不愿意继续蜗居于此。可惜那上古阵法非同小可。仅凭他一人实在以攻破。
In earlier times, as a lowly beast, he wasn’t bothered by it. But since entering the Transmutation Stage, he was rarely challenged in the human world. He naturally didn't want to remain here. Unfortunately, that ancient array was formidable; alone, he couldn’t break through.
hǎo zài tiān wú jué rén zhī lù yǒu le zhè mò míng chuǎng rù de sān míng rén lèi xiū shì zuò bāng shǒu 。 tā zhōng yú yǒu jī huì de tuō láo lóng 。 cóng cǐ hǎi kuò tiān kōng 。 zài wú jū shù 。 kě yǐ rèn qí chí chěng zòng héng le 。
好在天无绝人之路有了这莫名闯入的三名人类修士做帮手。他终于有机会的脱牢笼。从此海阔天空。再无拘束。可以任其驰骋纵横了。
Fortunately, there's always a way out. With these three human cultivators as allies, he finally had an opportunity to escape his cage. From now on, he could roam freely and unrestrained.
dāng rán 。 hái yǒu yù xuán zōng yí liú xià lái de bǎo wù 。
当然。还有玉玄宗遗留下来的宝物。
Of course, the treasure left by Jade Profound Sect.
xiǎng dào zhè lǐ tā huí guò tóu piǎo le yī yǎn sān míng rén lèi xiū shì liǎng wèi níng dān qī de yī yī nǚ zì rán bù zú jù 。 dàn zhè ge kǔ dà shī què dài gěi tā yī zhǒng bù shū fú de qì xī míng míng zhǐ shì yuán yīng chū qī 。 zhè shuō míng tā xiū de shén tōng yǒu dú dào zhī mì 。
想到这里他回过头瞟了一眼三名人类修士两位凝丹期的一一女自然不足惧。但这个苦大师却带给他一种不舒服的气息明明只是元婴初期。这说明他修的神通有独到之秘。
Thinking of this, he turned to look at the trio of human cultivators. The two Condensation Core cultivators were nothing to fear; but this Master Kǔ gave him an uncomfortable feeling—though only Incarnation Stage First Level, his cultivation technique was unique and profound.
dào xū yào liú xīn yī xiē 。
倒需要留心一些。
He needed to be cautious.
yāo zài àn lǐ dī fáng de shí 。 kǔ dà shī yě zhuǎn zhe tóng yàng de xīn sī 。 zhè ge lǎo guài wù chú le cán rěn 。 xīn sī tóng yàng shì yī děng yī 。
妖在暗里堤防的时。苦大师也转着同样的心思。这个老怪物除了残忍。心思同样是一等一。
While the demon was on high alert, Master Kǔ also had similar thoughts. This old monster, apart from being cruel, was equally cunning.
dāng rán 。 jì rán xiǎng yào qǔ bǎo 。 liǎng rén xiàn zài hé zuò guān xì 。
当然。既然想要取宝。两人现在合作关系。
Since they wanted the treasure, their current partnership was beneficial. After a moment of silence, it was Master Kǔ who spoke first.
chén mò le yī huì 。 hái shì kǔ dà shī xiān kāi kǒu le 。
沉默了一会。还是苦大师先开口了。
"Brother Turtle, you know where Longevity Pills and other treasures are stored in Jade Profound Sect. I believe you have a clear idea. Now that we’ve escaped, why don’t we retrieve them?"
“ guī dào yǒu 。 nǐ bú shì yù xuán zōng yǒu cháng shēng dān hé qí tā bǎo wù 。 bǎo cún zài nǎ lǐ 。 xiǎng bì dào yǒu shì yì qīng èr chǔ 。 jì yǐ jīng chū lái le 。 wǒ men hé bù xiān jiāng qí qǔ chū ？”
“龟道友。你不是玉玄宗有长生丹和其他宝物。保存在哪里。想必道友是一清二楚。既已经出来了。我们何不先将其取出？”
"That’s just what I intended to say. Let's act quickly."
“ dào yǒu zhè huà zhèng hé wǒ yì 。 shì bù yí chí 。 men xiàn zài jiù dòng qù qǔ 。”
“道友这话正合我意。事不宜迟。们现在就动去取。”
"Very well." Before Master Kǔ finished speaking, he waved his hand, releasing a mist of confusion. The fog transformed into a massive sword.
“ rú cǐ shèn hǎo 。” kǔ dà shī huà yīn wèi luò 。 yáng shǒu fàng chū yī dào mí wù 。 nà wù qì zài kōng zhōng yī zhuǎn 。 huà wèi le yī bǐng jù jiàn 。
“如此甚好。”苦大师话音未落。扬手放出一道迷雾。那雾气在空中一转。化为了一柄巨剑。
With a sharp sound, the waterjail cell entrance was no match for this old monster's power; the iron bars crumbled like tofu, easily swept away.
chī de yī shēng xiǎng 。 méi yǒu zhì tí gōng fáng hù 。 shuǐ láo rù kǒu de tiě jīng suī rán yě jiān yìng yǐ jí 。 dàn zài cǐ lǎo guài wù de shén tōng miàn qián 。 què yǒu rú dòu fǔ 。 qīng ér yì jǔ jiù bèi sǎo dàng yī kōng le 。
嗤的一声响。没有制提供防护。水牢入口的铁精虽然也坚硬以极。但在此老怪物的神通面前。却有如豆腐。轻而易举就被扫荡一空了。
The group didn’t waste any more time and flew out of their prison.
suí hòu jǐ rén bù zài dān gē 。 gè zì dùn guāng fēi chū le láo lóng 。
随后几人不再耽搁。各自遁光飞出了牢笼。
"Hey."
“ yí 。”
“咦。”
Upon exiting, Master Kǔ realized they were in a canyon. The cliffs on both sides soared into the clouds.
chū lái yǐ hòu 。 kǔ dà shī cái fā xiàn tā men shì zài yī xiá gǔ lǐ 。 liǎng biān de shān bì yǐ jí 。 zhí chā rù dào le yún xiāo lǐ
出来以后。苦大师才发现他们是在一峡谷里。两边的山壁以极。直插入到了云霄里
However, this wasn't what surprised him.
bù guò 。 zhè bìng bú shì ràng tā chī jīng de yuán yóu 。
不过。这并不是让他吃惊的缘由。
At the waterjail cell entrance, there were two stone lions, each towering over seven or eight feet high, imposing and awe-inspiring.
ér zài shì shuǐ láo rù kǒu de liǎng cè 。 jū rán gè yǒu yī dūn shí shī 。 měi yī zhī jiē yǒu qī bā zhàng gāo 。 kàn shàng qù wēi wú bǐ 。
而在是水牢入口的两侧。居然各有一蹲石狮。每一只皆有七八丈高。看上去威无比。
"What are these?"
“ zhè shì 。”
“这是。”
With his keen eyesight, Master Kǔ immediately realized that these stone lions weren’t ordinary sculptures. A terrifying aura was emanating from their bodies.
yǐ lǎo guài wù de yǎn lì 。 lì kè jiù kàn chū zhè liǎng dūn shí shī bú shì pǔ tōng de diāo sù 。 cóng men de shēn tǐ lǐ 。 jìng rán yǒu hài rén líng lì bèng shè ér chū 。
以老怪物的眼力。立刻就看出这两蹲石狮不是普通的雕塑。从们的身体里。竟然有骇人灵力迸射而出。
"Haha, Master Kǔ need not be surprised. These two creatures are the guards of the Immortal Shackles. Since we’ve escaped, naturally, we should take them out."
“ hā hā 。 kǔ dào yǒu bù jīng yí 。 zhè liǎng gè jiā huo shì kǔn xiān láo de kān shǒu 。 jì rán wǒ men chū lái le 。 zì rán yào jiāng men qù 。”
“哈哈。苦道友不惊疑。这两个家伙是捆仙牢的看守。既然我们出来了。自然要将们去。”
The demon’s hoarse voice echoed in his ears as it opened its mouth and spat out a black light ball. Originally only the size of a fist, it quickly stretched into a long, eerie beam, striking the stone lion on the left with a diameter of ten feet.
yāo shā yǎ nán tīng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr lǐ 。 zhǐ jiàn zhè guài wù zhāng kāi kǒu 。 yī dào yì máng pēn tǔ ér chū 。 shì yī hēi sè de guāng qiú 。
妖沙哑难听的声音传入耳里。只见这怪物张开口。一道异芒喷吐而出。是一黑色的光球。
Seeing this scene, Master Kǔ couldn’t help muttering. The Jade Profound Sect was indeed famous in ancient times; just escaping and already falling back into battle. No wonder the demon needed his help to retrieve the treasure. Along the way, there were countless dangers waiting for them.
yuán běn zhǐ yǒu quán tou dà xiǎo 。 zài kōng zhōng què xùn sù de lā shēn biàn zhǎng 。 wèi le yì zhí jìng zhàng xǔ de guǐ yì lì máng 。 xiàng zhe zuǒ cè de shí shī hěn hěn pī xià 。
原本只有拳头大小。在空中却迅速的拉伸变长。为了一直径丈许的诡异厉芒。向着左侧的石狮狠狠劈下。
Despite his inner complaints, he didn’t idle his hands. He shook his shoulder, splitting out a purple aura that formed a swirling storm.
jiàn le cǐ jǐng 。 kǔ dà shī bù yóu dí gū yī shēng 。 zhè yù xuán kuì shì shàng gǔ shí qī yě shí fēn zhù míng de zōng mén 。 cái gāng gāng tuō xiǎn 。 jū rán yòu xiàn rù zhàn dòu lǐ miàn 。 guài bù de zhè yāo wù qǔ bǎo yào lā shàng zì jǐ 。 zhè yī lù zhī shàng 。 bù zhī dào yǒu duō shǎo jiān nán xiǎn zǔ zài děng zhe 。
见了此景。苦大师不由嘀咕一声。这玉玄愧是上古时期也十分著名的宗门。才刚刚脱险。居然又陷入战斗里面。怪不的这妖物取宝要拉上自己。这一路之上。不知道有多少艰难险阻在等着。
The eyes of both stone lions glowed red as if waking from slumber. These large creatures weren’t biological but not like puppetry either.
suī rán xīn zhōng fù fěi bù yǐ 。 dàn tā shǒu shàng yě méi yǒu xián zhe 。 jiān tóu yī yáo 。 cóng shēn tǐ zhī shàng fēn liè chū yī dào zǐ sè de xiá guāng 。 dī liū liū yī zhuǎn zhī hòu 。 xíng chéng le yī dào zǐ sè de lóng juǎn fēng bào 。
虽然心中腹诽不已。但他手上也没有闲着。肩头一摇。从身体之上分裂出一道紫色的霞光。滴溜溜一转之后。形成了一道紫色的龙卷风暴。
Master Kǔ was uncertain about their nature—perhaps an ancient secret technique now lost to time.
liǎng tóu shí shī de yǎn zhōng liàng qǐ le hóng máng 。 sì hū xiàng shì cóng chén shuì zhōng xǐng le guò lái 。 zhè tǐ jī jù dà de guài wù 。 bìng bú shì shēng wù 。 dàn yě bù xiàng yòng kuǐ lěi shù zhì chéng de 。
两头石狮的眼中亮起了红芒。似乎像是从沉睡中醒了过来。这体积巨大的怪物。并不是生物。但也不像用傀儡术制成的。
Seeing the purple vortex approaching, the right stone lion suddenly stood up and with a double strike, its aura surged, scattering the swirling storm.
jù tǐ shì shén me 。 kǔ dà shī yě bù qīng chǔ 。 huò xǔ shì rú jīn yǐ rán shī chuán de mǒu zhǒng shàng gǔ mì shù 。
具体是什么。苦大师也不清楚。或许是如今已然失传的某种上古秘术。
This creature’s strength couldn't be underestimated.
yǎn jiàn zǐ sè xuán fēng kuài yào jí tǐ 。 yòu cè nà tóu shí rán rén lì qǐ lái 。 shuāng zhǎo yī pāi 。 líng lì kuáng shǎn 。 jìng rán yìng shēng shēng jiāng nà dào lóng juǎn fēng pāi sàn 。
眼见紫色旋风快要及体。右侧那头石然人立起来。双爪一拍。灵力狂闪。竟然硬生生将那道龙卷风拍散。
Master Kǔ narrowed his eyes. He rubbed his hands together, and a bloodlight appeared in his palm. With one hand forming seals, he drew several fist-sized runes on his chest.
zhè guài wù de shí lì bù róng | kàn 。
这怪物的实力不容|看。
Each rune was unique, flickering with bloody light, seemingly Buddhist techniques but with more malevolent energy than any Daoist cultivator.
Chapter 474 - Stone Lion of Seven Star Isle
Lin Xuan’s plan was to turn the corpse into a zombie, ensuring its successful fusion. However, it wasn’t that simple; many conditions hadn't been met. Spirit communication wasn’t as easy as just saying so.
