一方是妖灵岛第一大派，传承已有上百万年，高手无数，另外一方则是冰漠荒原的霸主，化形期妖兽数不胜数。
On one side was the First Great Sect of Demon Spirit Island, with a heritage dating back over a million years and countless powerful experts. On the other side was the dominant force in the Ice Desert Wasteland, where countless transformed demons roamed.
cóng shí lì lái shuō 。 xuě hú wáng yī fāng yào zhàn shàng fēng ， rán ér xuán fèng mén què kě yǐ yī tuō dì lì fáng shǒu ， hù pài dà cuì yǐ rán kāi qǐ ， qí tā de jìn zhì yě rú yǔ hòu chūn sǔn bān fú xiàn ér chū ， gù shèng fù rú hé ， dào yě nán shuō 。
从实力来说。雪狐王一方要占上风，然而玄凤门却可以依托地利防守，护派大淬已然开启，其他的禁制也如雨后春笋般浮现而出，故胜负如何，倒也难说。
In terms of strength, the Snow Fox Queen's faction held an advantage. However, the Xuanfeng Sect could rely on its advantageous terrain for defense. The main protective array had already been activated, and various restrictions sprang up like mushrooms after rain, making it hard to predict who would come out on top.
bù guò shuāng fāng dōu zhì zài bì děi !
不过双方都志在必得!
Nonetheless, both sides were determined to win!
dì yī bō jìn gōng de shì dī jiē yāo shòu ， yǐ èr jí de jū duō ， shí lì yě jiù xiāng dāng yú zhù jī qī xiū xiān zhě ， rán ér shù liàng què dào le jīng rén de dì bù 。
第一波进攻的是低阶妖兽，以二级的居多，实力也就相当于筑基期修仙者，然而数量却到了惊人的地步。
The first wave of attackers were low-grade demons, mostly at the Second Stage, equivalent in power to Foundation Establishment cultivators. However, their numbers were staggering—tens of thousands of them surged from the sky and ground like a tidal wave…
yǒu shù wàn zhī xiāng 。 cóng tiān kōng ， dì shàng ， jiā pái shān dǎo hǎi zhī shì péng fēng yōng ér zhì …’
有数万之乡。从天空，地上，夹排山倒海之势棚蜂拥而至…’
Despite having prepared for this, the disciples of Xuanfeng Sect still gaped in shock. Apart from those with particularly strong mental fortitude, most were trembling so badly that they could barely muster any spiritual energy.
jǐn guǎn yǐ yǒu xīn lǐ zhǔn bèi ， kě xuán fēng mén dì zǐ hái shì chēng jié shé ， chú le shǎo shù xīn lǐ chéng shòu lì qiáng hàn de ， dà bù fèn dōu shǒu zú dǒu ， jī hū lián fǎ lì dōu tí bù qǐ lái le 。
尽管已有心理准备，可玄风门弟子还是瞠结舌，除了少数心理承受力强悍的，大部分都手足抖，几乎连法力都提不起来了。
It wasn't because they were cowardly; the sight was truly terrifying.
bìng fēi tā men dǎn xiǎo qiè ruò ， nà jǐng xiàng shí zài shì lìng rén dǎn hán 。
并非他们胆小怯弱，那景象实在是令人胆寒。
Within a radius of several dozen miles, demon qi permeated the air and煞气 rose to the heavens. The roars of various demons sounded like thunderbolts slicing through clear skies…
fāng yuán shù shí lǐ nèi ， yāo qì mí màn . shā qì chōng tiān ， gè zhǒng yāo shòu de hǒu jiào jiù fǎng fú huá guò qíng kōng de yí gè gè bēn léi …
方圆数十里内，妖气弥漫.煞气冲天，各种妖兽的吼叫就仿佛划过晴空的一个个奔雷…
Higher cultivators managed better, but their numbers were few. Foundation Establishment stage disciples, who had fought against demons before, hadn't seen anything like this scene. Occasionally, a few hundred demons would attack, but nothing compared to what they faced now.
gāo jiē xiū shì hái hǎo 。 dàn bì jìng shù è xī shǎo ， zuò wèi mén pài zhǔ yào zhàn lì de zhù jī qī dì zǐ ， suī rán bú shì méi yǒu yǔ yāo jì sī shā guò ， dàn zhè zhǒng chǎng miàn . shí yǒu ** dōu méi yǒu jiàn guò ， yǐ qián ǒu yǒu yāo shòu lái fàn 。 yě zuì duō bù guò qiān yú tóu ， yǔ yǎn qián ， gēn běn jiù bù kě tóng rì ér yǔ
高阶修士还好。但毕竟数垩稀少，做为门派主要战力的筑基期弟子，虽然不是没有与妖季厮杀过，但这种场面.十有**都没有见过，以前偶有妖兽来犯。也最多不过千余头，与眼前，根本就不可同日而语
Moreover, such large-scale battles required coordination and cooperation, unlike single combat.
hé kuàng zhè zhǒng dà guī mó de hùn zhàn ， yě yǔ dān gè dòu fǎ wán quán bù tóng ， bì xū jiǎng jiū yí dìng de xié tiáo yǔ pèi hé 。
何况这种大规模的混战，也与单个斗法完全不同，必须讲究一定的协调与配合。
Apart from spiritual energy, morale was crucial. Humans simply couldn't match the demons in this aspect.
chú le fǎ lì ， shì qì yě zhòng yào wú bǐ ， ér rén lèi zhuāng zhè fāng miàn ， gēn běn jiù méi yǒu bàn fǎ yǔ yāo shòu xiāng bǐ 。
除了法力，士气也重要无比，而人类庄这方面，根本就没有办法与妖兽相比。
Before reaching the Transformation Stage, demons had no spiritual intelligence, making them fearless fighters who fought with reckless abandon.
yāo shòu zài jìn rù huà xíng qī yǐ qián ，. líng zhì . shàng wèi kāi qǐ ， yě jiù méi yǒu nà me duō huā huā cháng zi ， zhàn dòu qǐ lái ， hàn bù wèi sǐ 。
妖兽在进入化形期以前，.灵智.尚未开启，也就没有那么多花花肠子，战斗起来，悍不畏死。
Tang Song had been a disciple of Xuanfeng Sect for over two hundred years and was at the mid-Condensation Core stage. For his age, he had advanced rapidly due to his diligence and perseverance—qualities that made him a formidable figure.
táng sōng bài rù xuán fēng mén yǐ yǒu èr bǎi yú zāi ， shì yī wèi níng dān zhōng qī de xiū shì ， jiù tā de nián suì ér yán ， xiū liàn dù yǐ rán hěn kuài 。
唐松拜入玄风门已有二百余栽，是一位凝丹中期的修士，就他的年岁而言，修炼度已然很快。
Despite not being a holder of the Sacred Spirit Staff, Tang Song's talent was widely acknowledged by several senior disciples who praised his potential to form an元婴 in the future.
tā kè kǔ ， zhí zhuó 。 nǎi shì yǒu dà gòu lì de rén wù ， suī rán bìng fēi shèng líng gùn de tǒng yǒu zhě ， dàn zī zhì yě hěn bù qián ， jǐ wèi shī shū bó dōu duì tā zàn xǔ yǒu jiā ， shuō tā wèi lái shì hěn yǒu kě néng níng chéng yuán yīng de rén wù 。
他刻苦，执着。乃是有大彀力的人物，虽然并非圣灵棍的捅有者，但资质也很不钱，几位师叔伯都对他赞许有加，说他未来是很有可能凝成元婴的人物。
In short, he could be considered a prodigy.
kě yǐ shuō ， yě suàn tiān zhī jiāo zi 。
可以说，也算天之骄子。
However, this prodigy felt his entire body tremble as he looked at the dense swarm of demons that seemed like a sea of angry waves. The lower-grade disciples beside him were even more shaken.
rán ér jiù shì zhè wèi táng sōng ， cǐ kè kàn zhuó yǎn qián mì mì má má ， rú hǎi hú nù tāo bān de yāo shòu què gǎn jué hún shēn má 。
然而就是这位唐松，此刻看着眼前密密麻麻，如海湖怒涛般的妖兽却感觉浑身麻。
Tang Song took deep breaths to calm himself. Fortunately, just before this, news had come that the High Elder had successfully advanced to the late stage, which somewhat alleviated the situation.
zuò wèi níng dān qī xiū shì 。 tā shàng rú cǐ ， páng biān zhòng shī zhí de gǎn shòu kě xiǎng ér zhī wò
做为凝丹期修士。他尚如此，旁边众师侄的感受可想而知卧
As he was about to say something to boost morale, a sudden, eerie sensation and fluctuations in spiritual energy caught his attention. A massive red light column appeared before him, about a mile away, towering several dozen feet thick, radiating with vibrant spiritual energy that reached up into the clouds…
táng sōng shēn shēn hū xī ， qiǎng pò zì jǐ píng xīn jìng qì ， hái hǎo gāng gāng chuán lái dà zhǎng lǎo jìn jiē hòu qī chéng gōng de xiāo xī ， fǒu zé jú miàn hái yào gèng jiā jí liè yī xiē 。
唐松深深呼吸，强迫自己平心静气，还好刚刚传来大长老进阶后期成功的消息，否则局面还要更加急劣一些。
This was just the beginning. Accompanied by a long, continuous incantation, another colossal pillar emerged, followed by a third, fourth… Seven giant light columns spread across the area, enveloping Xuanfeng Sect.
tā xī le kǒu qì 。 zhèng xiǎng shuō xiē shén me gǔ wǔ shì qì ， tū rán zhōu wéi chuán lái yī gǔ mò míng de jīng sǒng ， líng qì huàng dòng ， yī gēn jù dà de chì sè guāng zhù yìng rù le yǎn lián zhōng 。
他吸了口气。正想说些什么鼓舞士气，突然周围传来一股莫名的惊悚，灵气晃动，一根巨大的赤色光柱映入了眼帘中。
"What is this…"
nà guāng zhù jù cǐ yuē yǒu zhì lǐ ， shù shí zhàng . cū xì ， líng qǐ càn làn tiǎn bǐ ， lián tiān jiē dì ， zhí chōng rù yún xiāo lǐ ……
那光柱距此约有致里，数十丈.粗细，灵杞灿烂忝比，连天接地，直冲入云霄里……
All Foundation Establishment stage cultivators were dumbstruck; this was far from what they had imagined for their protective array. However, soon shock turned to joy as they realized that the array's power was significantly stronger than before.
ér zhè jǐn jǐn shì kāi shǐ 。 bàn suí ruò yī zhèn mián mì yōu zhǎng de zhòu yǔ ， yòu yī gēn qíng tiān jù zhù chū xiàn zài le yǎn lián 。 jiē zhe shì dì sān gēn ， dì sì gēn …… chì chéng huáng lǜ qīng lán zǐ ， qī gēn jù dà de guāng zhù ， biàn bù sì zhōu ， jiāng zhěng gè xuán fèng mén lóng
而这仅仅是开始。伴随若一阵绵密悠长的咒语，又一根擎天巨柱出现在了眼帘。接着是第三根，第四根……赤橙黄绿青蓝紫，七根巨大的光柱，遍布四周，将整个玄凤门笼
Morale soared once again.
“ zhè ， zhè shì shén me yī yī yī yī yī yī ”.
“这，这是什么一一一一一一”.
As a mid-Condensation Core cultivator, Tang Song’s experience vastly exceeded that of his lower-grade disciples. Initially, he felt some surprise at the sight of the light columns, but quickly a spark of insight flashed in his mind.
suǒ yǒu de zhù jī qī xiū shì wú bù rì dèng kǒu dāi le ， zhè yǔ tā men yìn xiàng zhōng de hù pài dà zhèn wán
所有的筑基期修士无不日瞪口呆了，这与他们印象中的护派大阵完
Could it be the legendary "Xuan Tian Spirit Phoenix Array"?
bù guò hěn kuài ， jīng è jiù zhuǎn wéi le kuáng xǐ ， suī rán bù zhī dào cǐ zhèn shì shén me ， dàn míng xiǎn bǐ yǐ qián de wēi lì yào qiáng dé duō ，
不过很快，惊愕就转为了狂喜，虽然不知道此阵是什么，但明显比以前的威力要强得多，
It was well-known that the main protective array of the sect had been created by Immortal Xuanfeng herself. However, since her ascension to the Spiritual Realm, its effectiveness had diminished significantly. While sufficient for dealing with ordinary foes, it fell far short of its former glory.
yú shì hū ， shì qì yòu zài cì bào zhǎng qǐ lái le 。
于是乎，士气又再次暴涨起来了。
The root cause lay in the lack of a direct disciple who could activate the full power of the array. Only those who practiced "Wind Dance Nine Heavens Technique" were eligible. Over the years, no one from Xuanfeng Sect had been a Phoenix lineage body…
táng sōng zuò wèi níng dān qī xiū xiān zhě ， jiàn shí zì rán bú shì xià miàn de dī jiē dì zǐ kě yǐ xiāng bǐ de ， kàn zhuó yǎn dí de guāng zhù 。 tā qǐ chū yě yǒu xiē luò è ， dàn hěn kuài yī sī líng guāng zài nǎo hǎi zhōng shǎn guò 。
唐松做为凝丹期修仙者，见识自然不是下面的低阶弟子可以相比的，看着眼笛的光柱。他起初也有些络愕，但很快一丝灵光在脑海中闪过。
By sheer coincidence, Tang Song had heard about this secret from his master. Now, he was both elated and puzzled—could someone in their sect have mastered Wind Dance Nine Heavens Technique?
nán dào shì chuán shuō zhōng de “ xuán tiān líng fèng zhèn me ？
难道是传说中的“玄天灵凤阵么？
It must be the High Elder.
zhòng suǒ zhōu zhī ， zǒng tán de hù pài dà zhèn nǎi xuán fèng xiān yǔ yī shǒu chuàng lì ， rán ér zì cóng zǔ shī fēi shēng líng jiè yǐ hòu ， qí shí cǐ zhèn zhǐ néng huī chū yī xiē pí máo de gōng xiào ér yǐ 。
众所周知，总坛的护派大阵乃玄凤仙予一手创立，然而自从祖师飞升灵界以后，其实此阵只能挥出一些皮毛的功效而已。
No… that couldn't be right. The High Elder, even if they advanced to late stage, wouldn’t have anything to do with Wind Dance Nine Heavens Technique; it required a Phoenix lineage body.
yòng yǐ jì yù pǔ tōng de dí rén ， shì chuò chuò yǒu yú ， kě yǔ dāng nián de xióng fēng xiāng bǐ ， jiǎn zhí pàn
用以际御普通的敌人，是绰绰有余，可与当年的雄风相比，简直判
Many were puzzled at this moment, but the truth was beyond their wildest guesses.
jiū qí gēn yuán ， nǎi shì hòu shì yūn zi bù xiè ， yīn wèi xiǎng yào huī chū cǐ zhèn de zhēn zhèng wēi lì ， bì xū yóu xuán fèng xiān zi de dí chuán dì zǐ zhǔ chí 。
究其根源，乃是后世晕子不屑，因为想要挥出此阵的真正威力，必须由玄凤仙子的嫡传弟子主持。
Immortal Xuanfeng had been an extraordinary genius, not only in her power but also in foresight. Before ascending to the Spiritual Realm, she had foreseen that Xuanfeng Sect might face decline and knew how harsh the cultivation world could be, especially on Demon Spirit Island where fortune and misfortune were intertwined.
suǒ wèi dí chuán ， tiáo jiàn yě hěn jiǎn yáng ， jiù shì xiū xí le “ fēng wǔ jiǔ tiān jué ”， kě chú le dāng nián de chuàng pài zǔ shī ， zhè me duō nián lái ， xuán fēng mén zài wú yī rén shì fèng mài zhī tǐ ……
所谓嫡传，条件也很简羊，就是修习了“风舞九天诀”，可除了当年的创派祖师，这么多年来，玄风门再无一人是凤脉之体……
Given the strength of the Xuan Tian Spirit Phoenix Array, it was still insufficient. If someone didn't inherit her teachings, they could only activate its surface-level effects. Facing true enemies would be like pouring water into a cup.
táng fēng jī yuán qiǎo hé 。 céng jīng zài shī fù kǒu zhōng tīng guò yī xiē yǐn mì péng cǐ kè gāo xìng zhī yú ， yě dà gǎn yí huò ， nán dào běn mén yǒu rén xiū liàn le fèng wǔ jiǔ tiān jué ？
唐风机缘巧合。曾经在师傅口中听过一些隐秘棚此刻高兴之余，也大感疑惑，难道本门有人修炼了凤舞九天诀？
Though cultivators lived simple lives, Immortal Xuanfeng couldn’t help but feel attached to her sect. Thus, this unique woman spent years collecting dozens of precious treasures and crafting a talisman and a pill.
shì dà zhǎng lǎo le
是大长老了
The pill contained a portion of her innate spiritual energy, which could be activated by an Elder if the sect faced dire straits. Even without training in Wind Dance Nine Heavens Technique, they could temporarily unleash the full power of the Xuan Tian Spirit Phoenix Array.
bù …… bú duì 。 dà zhǎng lǎo jiù suàn néng gòu jìn jiē hòu qī ， yě yǔ fèng wǔ jiǔ tiān jué méi yǒu bàn diǎn guān xì ， nà gōng fǎ bì xū yào qiú fèng mài zhī tǐ 。
不……不对。大长老就算能够进阶后期，也与凤舞九天诀没有半点关系，那功法必须要求凤脉之体。
Of course, only one set of the pill and talisman was prepared. Over a million years, Xuanfeng Sect had never used them until now, but it was clear that hiding their true strength wouldn’t suffice anymore.
cǐ kè yí huò de rén hěn duō ， rán ér zhēn xiàng què shì tā men yǒng yuǎn wú fǎ cāi dào de 。
此刻疑惑的人很多，然而真相却是他们永远无法猜到的。
At the heart of the array stood an elderly man with white hair.
dāng nián de xuán fèng xiān zi jīng cái jué yàn ， bù jǐn gōng lì tōng xuán ， ér qiě jí yǒu yuǎn jiàn 。
当年的玄凤仙子惊才绝艳，不仅功力通玄，而且极有远见。
The other Elder Immortals remained inactive for now; this was merely the first wave of attack.
zài fēi shēng líng jiè yǐ qián 。 yě céng gē liào dào xuán fèng mén yǐ hòu kě néng huì yǒu shuāi luò de wēi xiǎn . ér xiū xiān jiè zuì shì cán kù 。 bó líng dǎo gèng shì wēi 、 jī yù bù 。
在飞升灵界以前。也曾歌料到玄凤门以后可能会有衰落的危险.而修仙界最是残酷。驳灵岛更是危、机遇布。
Boom! Seven differently colored light columns pierced the clouds. The ground trembled, and the sky seemed to be punctured by several large holes.
àn lǐ shuō xuán tiān líng fèng zhèn yǒu gòu qiáng le ， kě bù néng ！ kuāng chéng zì jǐ de yī bō 。 zhǐ néng huī chū pí máo de xiào guǒ ， yù jiàn zhēn zhèng de qiáng dí ， míng xiǎn shì bēi shuǐ chē xīn bà le 。
按理说玄天灵凤阵有够强了，可不能！匡承自己的衣钵。只能挥出皮毛的效果，遇见真正的强敌，明显是杯水车薪罢了。
Such a spectacle couldn’t go unnoticed by the demons. However, these were creatures that had yet to develop spiritual intelligence, so they knew no fear. After a brief pause, instead of retreating, they let out deafening roars as if part of an angry sea, charging forward with ferocity.
suī shuō xiū xiān zhě qīng xīn guǎ yù ， dàn bì jìng shì zì jǐ yī shǒu chuàng lì de zōng mén ， xuán fèng xiān zi yòu zěn huì méi yǒu gǎn qíng 。 yú shì zhè wèi qí nǚ zǐ qióng shù nián zhī lì . shōu jí le shù shí zhǒng tiān cái dì bǎo ， liàn zhì chū le yī zhāng fú yǔ yī lì dān yào 。
虽说修仙者清心寡欲，但毕竟是自己一手创立的宗门，玄凤仙子又怎会没有感情。于是这位奇女子穷数年之力.收集了数十种天才地宝，炼制出了一张符与一粒丹药。
Whoo—
lǐ miàn fēng yìn yǒu tā yuán yīng de yì diǎn běn mìng líng lì ， rú guǒ xuán fèng mén yù dào dà nàn ， yóu yī wèi yuán yīng qī zhǎng lǎo tūn fú cǐ dān ， bìng ’ jì qǐ tā suǒ liàn 、 líng fú ， jiù suàn méi yǒu xiū liàn guò fèng wǔ jiǔ tiān jué ， yě kě yǐ zàn shí huī chū xuán tiān líng fèng zhèn de zhēn zhèng wēi lì 。
里面封印有她元婴的一点本命灵力，如果玄凤门遇到大难，由一位元婴期长老吞服此丹，并’祭起她所炼、灵符，就算没有修炼过凤舞九天诀，也可以暂时挥出玄天灵凤阵的真正威力。
A strange and heavy sound echoed in his ears. In the sky, clouds gathered, forming a massive cloud mass several hundred acres wide.
On one side was the First Great Sect of Demon Spirit Island, with a heritage dating back over a million years and countless powerful experts. On the other side was the dominant force in the Ice Desert Wasteland, where countless transformed demons roamed.
In terms of strength, the Snow Fox Queen's faction held an advantage. However, the Xuanfeng Sect could rely on its advantageous terrain for defense.
