“ shào yé ， nǐ xiǎng dào le shén me ？” yuè ér liǎn shàng mǎn shì zhuì zhuì bù ān zhī sè 。
“少爷，你想到了什么？”月儿脸上满是惴惴不安之色。
"Master, did you think of something?" Moon's face was filled with anxious concern.
“ zhè ge ……” lín xuān yǐ shǒu fǔ é ， yī jiù xiàn rù dú zì de chén yín zhī zhōng 。
“这个……”林轩以手抚额，依旧陷入独自的沉吟之中。
Lin Xuan rubbed his forehead and remained lost in thought. "This...," he said, still deep in contemplation.
“ shào yé ， bié mài guān zi ， rén jiā dōu yào jí sǐ le ， shì bú shì wǒ liǎ bèi chuán sòng dào yāo jiè lái le ？”
“少爷，别卖关子，人家都要急死了，是不是我俩被传送到妖界来了？”
"Moon, stop teasing me. People are getting impatient. Are we really in the Demon Realm?"
“ yāo jiè ？” lín xuān yī dāi ， liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng pǒ wèi gǔ guài ， suí jí rěn bú zhù hā hā dà xiào le qǐ lái ：“ nǐ zhè yā tou ， hái zhēn huì hú sī luàn xiǎng ， nǐ cóng nǎ běn gǔ jí shàng jiàn guò ， zhè shì shàng hái yǒu yāo jiè yī shuō 。”
“妖界？”林轩一呆，脸上的表情颇为古怪，随即忍不住哈哈大笑了起来：“妳这丫头，还真会胡思乱想，妳从哪本古籍上见过，这世上还有妖界一说。”
Lin Xuan froze at her words, a peculiar expression on his face before he burst into laughter: "You little girl, you really do have wild thoughts. Where did you read about such a thing? There is no Demon Realm in this world."
yuè ér tīng le ， liǎn shàng yī hóng ， tā gāng gāng què shí yǒu xiē kǒu bù zé yán ， yāo jiè zhī shuō ， xiū xiān jiè suī rán liú chuán yǐ jiǔ ， dàn zǎo jiù bèi zhèng shí ， gēn běn jiù shì huāng miù xiā chě ， yāo shòu jìn rù lí hé qī yǐ hòu ， rú guǒ néng gòu dù guò tiān jié ， shì yǔ rén lèi yī yàng fēi shēng líng jiè ， zhè shì shàng ， gēn běn bù cún zài shén me suǒ wèi de yāo jiè 。
月儿听了，脸上一红，她刚刚确实有些口不择言，妖界之说，修仙界虽然流传已久，但早就被证实，根本就是荒谬瞎扯，妖兽进入离合期以后，如果能够度过天劫，是与人类一样飞升灵界，这世上，根本不存在什么所谓的妖界。
Moon's face turned red as she realized she had spoken without thinking. While the existence of the Demon Realm was widely believed among cultivators and transformed beasts, it had long been proven to be nonsense. Once demon beasts entered the Separation Stage, if they survived the heavenly tribulation, they would ascend to the Spirit World just like humans; there was no such thing as a separate Demon Realm.
“ kě shì zhè ge dì fāng yāo mài rú cǐ zhī duō ， shuō bù dìng shì nà xiē qián bèi xiū shì nòng cuò ， huò xǔ zhēn yǒu yāo jiè yě bù yí dìng de 。” yuè ér yǒu xiē sè lì nèi rěn de fǎn bó ， zhǔ yào shì shào yé tài huài le ， xiào dé nà me kuā zhāng ， yě bù guǎn rén jiā huì liǎn hóng 。
“可是这个地方妖脉如此之多，说不定是那些前辈修士弄错，或许真有妖界也不一定的。”月儿有些色厉内荏的反驳，主要是少爷太坏了，笑得那么夸张，也不管人家会脸红。
"But this place has so many demonic veins," Moon argued, her voice trembling slightly. "Perhaps those senior cultivators made a mistake. Maybe there really is a Demon Realm."
“ hǎo le ， bù yǔ nǐ xiā chě 。” lín xuān jiāng xiào róng yī shōu ：“ yuè ér ， nǐ kě jì de ， jiù zài qián bù jiǔ ， wǒ liǎ céng zài mǒu běn gǔ jí shàng jiàn guò ， yǒu guān yún hǎi sān shèng dì de chuán shuō 。”
“好了，不与妳瞎扯。”林轩将笑容一收：“月儿，妳可记得，就在前不久，我俩曾在某本古籍上见过，有关云海三圣地的传说。”
Lin Xuan's smile faded. "Enough, let's not speculate." He said, his expression turning serious. "Moon, do you remember that ancient text we read recently? It mentioned the Three Holy Lands of Cloud Sea."
lín xuān zhè me yī tí ， xiǎo yā tou dào yě . mǎ shàng xiǎng qǐ ， qiào liǎn biàn sè ：“ shào yé ， nǐ shì shuō péng lái shān ， yāo líng dǎo ， hái yǒu wú dìng hé ， zhè chuán shuō zhōng de sān shèng dì le ？”
林轩这么一提，小丫头倒也.马上想起，俏脸变色：“少爷，你是说蓬莱山，妖灵岛，还有无定河，这传说中的三圣地了？”
This reminded Moon, who quickly recalled: "Master, are you talking about Penglai Mountain, Spirit Beast Island, and Wuzheng River—the legendary three holy lands?"
“ bù cuò 。” lín xuān diǎn le diǎn tóu ， liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng . mǎn shì níng zhòng ：“ nǐ kàn zhè zhōu wéi de huán jìng ， yǔ nà shū shàng miáo shù de yāo líng dǎo ， shì fǒu fēi cháng wěn hé ？”
“不错。”林轩点了点头，脸上的表情.满是凝重：“妳看这周围的环境，与那书上描述的妖灵岛，是否非常吻合？”
"Exactly," Lin Xuan nodded. "Look at this environment around us. Does it match what's described in the book for Spirit Beast Island?"
“ zhè ……”
“这……”
Moon focused her divine sense to scan the surroundings. Every mountain, stone, plant, and tree was carefully checked.
yuè ér zǎo jiāng gāng cái de xiū nǎo pāo zhū nǎo . hòu ， fàng chū shén shí ， kāi shǐ zài fù jìn sǎo miáo ， yī shān yī shí ， yī cǎo yī mù ， suǒ yǒu de xiàn suǒ ， quán dōu bù céng fàng guò 。
月儿早将刚才的羞恼抛诸脑.后，放出神识，开始在附近扫描，一山一石，一草一木，所有的线索，全都不曾放过。
After a long time, she turned back to Lin Xuan: "Master, there are some similarities, but I don't think we can be certain this is Spirit Beast Island. After all, we've been here for so long without encountering any demon beasts."
liáng jiǔ ， yuè ér zhuǎn guò tóu ：“ shào yé ， shì yǒu yī xiē xiāng sì ， dàn wǒ jué de ， bìng . bù néng jiù cǐ kěn dìng ， zhè lǐ jiù shì yāo líng dǎo ， bì jìng wǒ men lái dào zhè lǐ nà me jiǔ ， kě lián yī zhī yāo shòu yě méi yǒu yù dào ……”
良久，月儿转过头：“少爷，是有一些相似，但我觉得，并.不能就此肯定，这里就是妖灵岛，毕竟我们来到这里那么久，可连一只妖兽也没有遇到……”
"This is the part that puzzles me," Lin Xuan said with a wry smile before shaking his head. "Enough, it's just a guess. Don't overthink it."
“ zhè zhèng shì wǒ gǎn jué qí guài de dì fāng 。” lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo biān lù chū yī sī . kǔ xiào ， suí jí yáo le yáo tóu ：“ hǎo le ， wǒ jǐn jǐn shì cāi cè ， nǐ bú yào qù hú sī luàn xiǎng le 。”
“这正是我感觉奇怪的地方。”林轩嘴角边露出一丝.苦笑，随即摇了摇头：“好了，我仅仅是猜测，妳不要去胡思乱想了。”
"Mm," Moon responded gently. If she were alone in this strange and eerie place, she would be terrified. But being with Master gave her boundless courage.
“ ń 。” yuè ér wēn róu de yīng le yī jù ， rú guǒ zhǐ yǒu tā yí gè rén lái . dào zhè mò shēng de guǐ yì zhī dì ， kěn dìng shì hài pà bù yǐ ， dàn xiàn zài yǔ shào yé zài yì qǐ ， què gěi le tā wú biān de yǒng qì 。
“嗯。”月儿温柔的应了一句，如果只有她一个人来.到这陌生的诡异之地，肯定是害怕不已，但现在与少爷在一起，却给了她无边的勇气。
She moved gracefully to Lin Xuan's side, snuggling up to him as they sat together. Looking at the young girl's delicate face, Lin Xuan sighed inwardly. He appeared calm on the surface but his mind was racing with thoughts.
lián bù qīng yí ， lái dào . lín xuān de shēn biān ， yī wēi zhe tā zuò le xià lái ， kàn zhe shào nǚ qīng xiù de róng yán ， lín xuān àn àn tàn le kǒu qì ， tā zhǐ shì biǎo miàn qīng sōng ér yǐ ， nǎo hǎi lǐ ， gè zhǒng niàn tou què zhuǎn gè bù tíng 。
莲步轻移，来到.林轩的身边，依偎着他坐了下来，看着少女清秀的容颜，林轩暗暗叹了口气，他只是表面轻松而已，脑海里，各种念头却转个不停。
Most of these were about the Three Holy Lands.
qí zhōng zuì duō de ， zì rán shì yǔ sān shèng dì yǒu guān de zī liào le 。
其中最多的，自然是与三圣地有关的资料了。
Speaking of these lands, while most cultivators might never hear of them in their lifetimes, they were widely known amonginfant period experts and transformed beasts. The history traced back nearly a million years.
shuō qǐ zhè sān shèng dì ， suī rán dà bù fèn xiū shì kǒng pà yī shēng yě méi yǒu tīng shuō ， bù guò zài yuán yīng qī lǎo guài ， yǐ jí huà xíng qī yāo shòu zhōng jiān ， kě shì guǎng wèi liú chuán ， zhuī sù lì shǐ ， kǒng pà yǐ yǒu jìn bǎi wàn nián 。
说起这三圣地，虽然大部分修士恐怕一生也没有听说，不过在元婴期老怪，以及化形期妖兽中间，可是广为流传，追溯历史，恐怕已有近百万年。
Penglai Mountain, despite its name, was vast beyond belief—said to cover millions of miles, comparable to a sixth-level island in the Cloud Sea cultivation realm.
péng lái shān ， suī shuō yǒu shān zhī míng ， dàn què dà dé bù kě sī yì ， jù shuō zhěng zuò shān de miàn jī ， yǒu qiān wàn lǐ zhī guǎng ， bǐ qǐ yōu zhōu lái ， yě bù chěng duō ràng ， zú kě yǐ pì měi yún hǎi xiū xiān jiè de yī zuò liù jí dǎo yǔ 。
蓬莱山，虽说有山之名，但却大得不可思议，据说整座山的面积，有千万里之广，比起幽州来，也不逞多让，足可以媲美云海修仙界的一座六级岛屿。
Even more astonishingly, the entire mountain was an excellent demonic vein, with qualities surpassing even top-grade veins.
ér gèng jiā ràng rén nán yǐ xiǎng xiàng de shì ， zhěng zuò shān ， jiù shì yī jué jiā de líng mài ， lùn pǐn zhì ， shèn zhì bǐ jí pǐn líng mài ， dōu hái yào shèng shàng yī chóu de yàng zi 。
而更加让人难以想象的是，整座山，就是一绝佳的灵脉，论品质，甚至比极品灵脉，都还要胜上一筹的样子。
It was truly the best place for cultivation in the mortal world.
shí shì rén jiè zuì hǎo de xiū liàn zhī dì 。
实是人界最好的修炼之地。
Spirit Beast Island was similar. It covered millions of square miles and had countless demonic veins, though their quality varied. Still, middle-grade and above veins were abundant—something that was almost extinct elsewhere, making it highly attractive to demon races.
yāo líng dǎo ， qíng kuàng yě shì lèi sì ， tóng yàng shì yī zuò miàn jī dá qiān wàn lǐ zhī guǎng de dǎo yǔ ， shàng miàn yāo mài bù jì qí shù ， suī rán pǐn zhì cēn cī bù qí ， dàn zhōng pǐn yǐ shàng de yě bǐ bǐ jiē shì ， yào zhī dào zài qí tā dì fāng ， yāo mài kě shì bīn lín jué jì de dōng xī ， qí duì yāo zú de xī yǐn lì ， kě xiǎng ér zhī 。
妖灵岛，情况也是类似，同样是一座面积达千万里之广的岛屿，上面妖脉不计其数，虽然品质参差不齐，但中品以上的也比比皆是，要知道在其他地方，妖脉可是濒临绝迹的东西，其对妖族的吸引力，可想而知。
However, among these three lands, the most mysterious was Wuzheng River. The specific form of this land was poorly described in texts, with only a few speculations. Some said it was an incredibly wide river, others claimed it was actually a small island with a peculiar name. Still, some believed Wuzheng River was a second path between the mortal world and the Netherworld after Yellow Springs.
bù guò sān shèng dì zhōng zuì shén mì de hái shì yào shǔ wú dìng hé ， yīn wèi lián tā de jù tǐ xíng tài shū shàng yě shì yǔ yān bù xiáng de ， zhǐ shì liè chū le jǐ zhǒng tuī cè 。
不过三圣地中最神秘的还是要属无定河，因为连牠的具体形态书上也是语焉不详的，只是列出了几种推测。
Various theories abounded, but none could be confirmed.
yǒu de shuō ， tā jiù shì yī tiáo kuān guǎng wú bǐ de dà hé ， yǒu de shuō ， qí shí tā yě shì yī zuò xiǎo dǎo ， zhǐ bù guò míng zì bǐ jiào qí tè ， hái yǒu rén rèn wéi wú dìng hé shì rén jiè yǔ yīn sī jiè zhī jiān ， chú le huáng quán zhī lù de dì èr tiáo tōng dào ， zǒng zhī ， gè zhǒng cāi cè bù yī ér zú ， què shuí yě hěn nán jiāng zì jǐ de guān diǎn gěi zhèng shí le ……
有的说，牠就是一条宽广无比的大河，有的说，其实牠也是一座小岛，只不过名字比较奇特，还有人认为无定河是人界与阴司界之间，除了黄泉之路的第二条通道，总之，各种猜测不一而足，却谁也很难将自己的观点给证实了……
Wuzheng River did not have demonic veins, but instead had the yellow springs' dark energy permeating everywhere.
ér wú dìng hé zhōng ， bìng méi yǒu yīn mài ， bù guò què yǒu dì fǔ de huáng quán yīn qì zài dào chù mí màn 。
而无定河中，并没有阴脉，不过却有地府的黄泉阴气在到处弥漫。
Yellow Springs were the most yin substance in the world. Ghost cultivators would find their cultivation efforts greatly enhanced there.
huáng quán yīn qì ， nǎi shì tiān xià zhì yīn zhī wù ， guǐ xiū ruò zài nà lǐ xiū liàn ， shì bàn gōng bèi jiǎn zhí shì xiǎo ér kē 。
黄泉阴气，乃是天下至阴之物，鬼修若在那里修炼，事半功倍简直是小儿科。
Thus, since ancient times, ancient experts and transformed beasts had gone to great lengths to seek out these legendary lands for easier ascension to the Spirit World.
suǒ yǐ ， cóng shàng gǔ shí qī kāi shǐ ， gǔ xiū shì ， hái yǒu huà xíng qī de yāo zú ， wú bù lì jīng qiān xīn wàn kǔ ， xiǎng chū gè zhǒng bàn fǎ lái xún zhǎo tā men xīn mù zhōng de shèng dì 。
所以，从上古时期开始，古修士，还有化形期的妖族，无不历经千辛万苦，想出各种办法来寻找他们心目中的圣地。
However, cultivation depended on both effort and luck, which was hard to come by. The more one searched, the less likely success became.
bì jìng zài nà lǐ xiū liàn ， tū pò jìng jiè yào róng yì dé duō ， yě jiù yǒu jī huì fēi shēng líng jiè le 。
毕竟在那里修炼，突破境界要容易得多，也就有机会飞升灵界了。
While some did succeed throughout history, it was rare indeed.
rán ér xiū xiān xiū xiān ， chú le nǔ lì ， kào de jiù shì jī yuán ， piān piān zhè zhǒng dōng xī ， yòu zuì shì kě yù ér bù kě qiú ， yī xīn xiǎng yào xún zhǎo ， què wǎng wǎng tú láo wú gōng 。
然而修仙修仙，除了努力，靠的就是机缘，偏偏这种东西，又最是可遇而不可求，一心想要寻找，却往往徒劳无功。
These three holy lands moved constantly without any discernible pattern, appearing only occasionally through sheer chance in the mortal world.
gǔ wǎng jīn lái ， bù néng shuō yí gè chéng gōng de dōu méi yǒu ， dàn què shí shì fèng máo lín jiǎo 。
古往今来，不能说一个成功的都没有，但确实是凤毛麟角。
They were like fleeting flowers, appearing for a short time and often in very remote locations.
yīn wèi zhè sān shèng dì ， dōu shì bù tíng yí dòng de ， ér qiě wán quán méi yǒu guī lǜ kě yán ， zhǐ yǒu jī yuán qiǎo hé ， cái huì ǒu ěr chū xiàn yú rén jiān 。
因为这三圣地，都是不停移动的，而且完全没有规律可言，只有机缘巧合，才会偶尔出现于人间。
...
suǒ wèi tán huā yī xiàn ， bù jǐn shí jiān jí duǎn ， ér qiě wǎng wǎng huán shì fēi cháng huāng pì de dì diǎn 。
所谓昙花一现，不仅时间极短，而且往往还是非常荒僻的地点。
Indeed, Lin Xuan had just read an ancient text detailing these three holy lands. This knowledge gave him some assurance now.
……
……
But even if this place was confirmed to be Spirit Beast Island, his expression remained strange. If he found himself on Penglai Mountain, it would be a cause for gratitude—using the remaining two or three Celestial Dust Pills, he could easily form an infant spirit.
shuō lái yě qiǎo ， lín xuān qián yī zhèn ， gāng kàn guò mǒu běn gǔ jí ， shàng miàn duì sān shèng dì de miáo shù fēi cháng xiáng xì 。
说来也巧，林轩前一阵，刚看过某本古籍，上面对三圣地的描述非常详细。
He could then advance rapidly with the excellent demonic veins.
yě xìng hǎo rú cǐ ， fǒu zé lín xuān xiàn zài ， kěn dìng huì gèng jiā de xīn lǐ méi dǐ 。
也幸好如此，否则林轩现在，肯定会更加的心里没底。
Even if he ended up in Wuzheng River, at least Moon could quickly form an infant spirit. He could always switch to Xuan Mo Great Method; after all, his Yin and Yang spiritual energies were already perfectly integrated. Rapid advancement as a ghost cultivator would be acceptable.
bù guò zhèng shí le zhè lǐ shì yāo líng dǎo yòu rú hé ， lín xuān liǎn shàng mǎn shì gǔ guài zhī sè ， jiǎ rú zì jǐ bèi chuán sòng dào péng lái shān ， zì rán shì xiè tiān xiè dì ， xiǎng bì kào zhuó shǒu zhōng jǐn shèng xià de liǎng sān lì tiān chén dān ， jié yīng yě méi yǒu shén me wèn tí 。
不过证实了这里是妖灵岛又如何，林轩脸上满是古怪之色，假如自己被传送到蓬莱山，自然是谢天谢地，想必靠着手中仅剩下的两三粒天尘丹，结婴也没有什么问题。
However, being on Spirit Beast Island was a source of bitter laughter for Lin Xuan. For demon races, it was the best place for cultivation, but not so much for him—useless and dangerous.
suí hòu gèng kě yǐ yǒng měng jīng jìn ， kào zhe jué jiā de líng mài chōng jī lí hé qī 。
随后更可以勇猛精进，靠着绝佳的灵脉冲击离合期。
The demon beasts here likely far more ferocious than those outside.
tuì yī wàn bù shuō ， jiù suàn bèi sòng dào wú dìng hé yě hǎo a ， zhì shǎo yuè ér néng gòu hěn kuài jié yīng ， dà bù liǎo zì jǐ yě gǎi xiū xuán mó dà fǎ ， fǎn zhèng duì yú zì jǐ lái shuō ， yīn yáng líng lì dōu yǐ wán měi róng hé ， zhǐ yào kě yǐ kuài sù jìn jiē ， jiù suàn shì zuò yī míng guǐ xiū yě bù cuò 。
退一万步说，就算被送到无定河也好啊，至少月儿能够很快结婴，大不了自己也改修玄魔大法，反正对于自己来说，阴阳灵力都已完美融合，只要可以快速进阶，就算是做一名鬼修也不错。
Of course, these were just speculations by Lin Xuan. Hoping he had guessed wrong, his brows furrowed as he looked at the purple demonic fog surrounding them.
rán ér bèi sòng dào yāo líng dǎo ， lín xuān zé zhǐ néng kǔ xiào ， gǎn tàn shì shì wú cháng ， zhè ge dì fāng duì yāo zú lái shuō ， zì rán shì zuì hǎo de xiū liàn shèng dì ， bù guò yú zì jǐ ， jiǎn zhí jiù shì lā jī 。
然而被送到妖灵岛，林轩则只能苦笑，感叹世事无常，这个地方对妖族来说，自然是最好的修炼圣地，不过于自己，简直就是垃圾。
Turning back, he saw Moon's sweetly sleeping face. Her tranquil expression eased his mind.
bù jǐn wú yòng ， fǎn ér wēi xiǎn duō duō ， xiǎng bì zhè ge dì fāng de yāo shòu ， yě yào bǐ wài miàn de gèng jiā xiōng měng 。
不仅无用，反而危险多多，想必这个地方的妖兽，也要比外面的更加凶猛。
After all this time, they had faced many storms together. This would also be overcome.
dāng rán ， yǐ shàng xìn xī ， jǐn jǐn shì lín xuān tuī cè ， rú jīn tā dǎo shì xī wàng zì jǐ liào cuò le ， rán ér kàn zhe nà mí màn zài sì zhōu de zǐ sè yāo wù ， lín xuān de méi tóu ， bù zhī bù jué jiān yǐ jǐn jǐn de zhòu zài yì qǐ le 。
当然，以上信息，仅仅是林轩推测，如今他倒是希望自己料错了，然而看着那弥漫在四周的紫色妖雾，林轩的眉头，不知不觉间已紧紧的皱在一起了。
Worry was useless; rest and recuperation were needed. Tomorrow could handle anydistress. Lin Xuan crossed his legs in a lotus position and began to enter a state of meditation for rest.
"Master, did you think of something?" Moon's face was filled with anxious concern.
Lin Xuan rubbed his forehead and remained lost in thought. "This...," he said, still deep in contemplation.
"Moon, stop teasing me. People are getting impatient. Are we really in the Demon Realm?"
Lin Xuan froze at her words, a peculiar expression on his face before he burst into laughter: "You little girl, you really do have wild thoughts. Where did you read about such a thing? There is no Demon Realm in this world."
