xiān shǎn 。 yī wèi měi lì de shào nǚ chū xiàn zài le miàn qián ， lín xuān yào bì guān kuì shān ， nì yā tou zì rán yě bú huì xián zhe 。 tā de zhǔ yào rèn wù jiù shì tì lín xuān hù fǎ le 。
先闪。一位美丽的少女出现在了面前，林轩要闭关愧珊，匿丫头自然也不会闲着。她的主要任务就是替林轩护法了。
First, a beautiful young girl appeared before him. Lin Xuan was about to retreat into seclusion with Qishan, so Nì the little girl naturally wouldn't be idle either. Her main task would be to guard Lin Xuan.
nà xiē tí chún chū lái de fěn mò jì rán néng ràng gǔ mó de jìng jiè diào luò ， nà shèng xià lái de guǒ shí dāng rán yǒu tí shēng xiū wèi de xiào guǒ ， zì jǐ dǎo shì kě yǐ gāo zhěn wú yōu de fú yòng 。
那些提纯出来的粉末既然能让古魔的境界掉落，那剩下来的果实当然有提升修为的效果，自己倒是可以高枕无忧的服用。
Those purified powders could make ancient demons drop in their cultivation levels, so the remaining fruits should have effects that improve one's cultivation. He could take them without worry.
lín xuān duì yuè ér lüè zuò zhǔ tuō 。 jiù lái dào liàn gōng fáng le 。
林轩对月儿略作嘱托。就来到练功房了。
Lin Xuan gave a brief instruction to Yue'er and then went into his training room.
bǐ jiào jiǎn lòu 。 bù guò xiū xiān zhě běn bù zài yì zhè ge 。
比较简陋。不过修仙者本不在意这个。
The place was rather simple, but cultivators didn't care much about such things.
lín xuān pán xī zuò hǎo 。 xiān tiáo xī le piàn kè ， dài fǎ lì yǔ jīng shén dōu dá dào diān fēng zhuàng tài ， cái shēn chū shǒu lái ， zài chǔ wù dài shàng yī pāi ， yī bā zhǎng dà xiǎo de yù hé cóng lǐ miàn fēi lüè chū lái 。
林轩盘膝坐好。先调息了片刻，待法力与精神都达到巅峰状态，才伸出手来，在储物袋上一拍，一巴掌大小的玉盒从里面飞掠出来。
Lin Xuan sat cross-legged and took a moment to regulate his breath. Once he reached the peak of his mental and spiritual state, he stretched out his hand and tapped on his storage bag. A jade box the size of a palm flew out from inside.
hé gài dǎ kāi 。 yī méi zǐ sè de guǒ shí yìng rù yǎn lián ， bǐ zhǎng zài shù shàng de shí xīn mó táo zú zú xiǎo le yí bàn 。
盒盖打开。一枚紫色的果实映入眼帘，比长在树上的蚀心魔桃足足小了一半。
Opening the lid, a purple fruit came into view, half the size of the蚀心魔桃 that grew on trees.
lín xuān jiāng pāo wò zài shǒu zhōng bǎ wán 。
林轩将抛握在手中把玩。
Lin Xuan held it in his hands to examine it.
suí hòu yǎng qǐ tóu ， fàng rù kǒu zhōng 。
随后仰起头，放入口中。
Then he raised his head and swallowed it down.
yòu kǔ yòu sè ， hái yǒu yī zhǒng suān suān de gǎn jué ， cóng wèi dào lái shuō ， kě shì ràng rén dà zhòu qí méi de 。
又苦又涩，还有一种酸酸的感觉，从味道来说，可是让人大皱其眉的。
But something was wrong. He had already purified harmful impurities, yet this result still occurred. Lin Xuan felt both angry and alarmed.
bù guò lín xuān yào de shì xiào guǒ 。 nán bù nán chī zì rán bù zài hū ， tūn luò rù fù ， rán hòu shuāng shǒu píng fàng zài xī jiān ， tǐ nèi fǎ lì liú zhuǎn ， kāi shǐ zuò dà zhōu tiān xún huán 。
不过林轩要的是效果。难不难吃自然不在乎，吞落入腹，然后双手平放在膝间，体内法力流转，开始做大周天循环。
They say even a wise man can make one mistake. Although Lin Xuan was meticulous, he made one...
shí xīn mó táo de yào lì ， yě gēn zhe zhè ge guò chéng liú rù tā de jīng mài dān tián ”
蚀心魔桃的药力，也跟着这个过程流入他的经脉丹田”
The蚀心魔桃 was known for its powerful effects, and after purification, the medicinal properties became even more intense.
tū rán ， tǐ nèi de yuán yīng yǔ mó yīng yì qǐ zhēng kāi le yǎn xiǎo liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī mí huò ， zài tā men de xià miàn ， shì yí miàn jī kuān guǎng de xiǎo hú ， qīng qīng bì bō 。
突然，体内的元婴与魔婴一起睁开了眼小脸上露出一丝迷惑，在他们的下面，是一面积宽广的小湖，青青碧波。
If he had an advanced中期元婴 cultivation level or even a peak middle-stage元婴, swallowing this fruit wouldn't be a problem. However, although his abilities far surpassed those of his peers, Lin Xuan remained only at the initial stage of cultivation.
zhè suǒ wèi de hú shuǐ 。 jiù shì lín xuān kǔ xiū duō nián hǎo bù róng yì dé lái de fǎ lì le 。
这所谓的湖水。就是林轩苦修多年好不容易得来的法力了。
Swallowing such a fruit after purification naturally led to no good outcome.
yuán běn hú miàn shì fēi cháng píng jìng de ， rán ér cǐ kè ， què xiān qǐ le bō lán ”
原本湖面是非常平静的，然而此刻，却掀起了波澜”
Lin Xuan had no time to ponder the reasons and could only rely on both元婴 working together to try and control the situation.
jū rán zhè cún kuài ？
居然这存快？
Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
lín xuān xīn zhōng 。 dà gǎn hài rán 。 tā fú yào de jīng yàn fēng fù wú bǐ ， kě jí biàn shì tiān chén dān ， yě méi yǒu zhè me lì gān jiàn yǐng de xiào lì 。
林轩心中。大感骇然。他服药的经验丰富无比，可即便是天尘丹，也没有这么立竿见影的效力。
Lin Xuan inwardly groaned. The dangers he encountered during his cultivation journey were too many.
xīn zhōng yòu yōu yòu xǐ 。
心中又忧又喜。
But complaining was useless; he gritted his teeth and endured it.
shí xīn mó táo guǒ rán shèng míng wú xū ， bù guò zhè tū pò jìng jiè de guò chéng kǒng pà bà dào wú bǐ 。
蚀心魔桃果然盛名无虚，不过这突破境界的过程恐怕霸道无比。
And this seclusion lasted for three years.
wǎng xiǎng dào zhè lǐ ， lín xuān tū rán gǎn jué shí hǎi yī téng ， fǎng fú bèi rén yòng dà chuí hěn hěn de zá le yī xià ， jiē zhe dān tián zhōng de líng lì ， tū rán bù shòu kòng zhì de luàn chuàn le qǐ lái 。
网想到这里，林轩突然感觉识海一疼，仿佛被人用大锤狠狠的砸了一下，接着丹田中的灵力，突然不受控制的乱串了起来。
For cultivators, that wasn't a long time.
“ bù hǎo ！”
“不好！”
However, outside the cultivation world, things were turbulent.
lín xuān xīn zhōng dà hài 。 ruò shì fàng rèn bù guǎn ， zì jǐ de ròu shēn kǒng pà huì bèi zhè bù shòu kòng zhì de líng lì huǐ qù ， tā máng yǎo yá 。 rěn zhe zuān xīn de téng tòng ， shuāng shǒu fǎ jué biàn huàn bù yǐ ， é tóu shàng dōu jìn chū le dòu dà de hàn dī 。
林轩心中大骇。若是放任不管，自己的肉身恐怕会被这不受控制的灵力毁去，他忙咬牙。忍着钻心的疼痛，双手法诀变幻不已，额头上都浸出了豆大的汗滴。
Yue Xianfeng had fallen, the Snow Fox King had disappeared, and although the Ice Desert Wasteland and the玄凤门 had stopped their conflicts, the entire妖灵岛 was already in turmoil.
ér tǐ nèi de yuán yīng yě méi yǒu xián zhe ， zhèng bèi yī tuán yíng yíng de qīng guāng bāo guǒ 。 chū shǒu zhèn yā hùn luàn de fǎ lì ， zi yú mó yīng 。 zé cóng zuǐ zhōng tǔ chū wú shù de hēi qì ， gān cuì huǎng shēn tóu rù le nà xiǎo hú ” lǐ 。
而体内的元婴也没有闲着，正被一团莹莹的青光包裹。出手镇压混乱的法力，子于魔婴。则从嘴中吐出无数的黑气，干脆晃身投入了那小湖”里。
On the human side, matters were not discussed here.
shuāng yīng hé zuò ， kě jú miàn yī jiù jiān nán wú bǐ ， lín xuān xīn zhōng gèng shì àn àn qìng xìng ， ruò bú shì zì jǐ bǐ pǔ tōng xiū shì duō chū yí gè mó yīng ， xiàn zài néng fǒu jiān chí ， hái shì liǎng shuō zhī shì 。
双婴合作，可局面依旧艰难无比，林轩心中更是暗暗庆幸，若不是自己比普通修士多出一个魔婴，现在能否坚持，还是两说之事。
The demon race was about to start self-destructive battles.
zěn me huí shì 。 zì jǐ míng míng yǐ jīng tí chún chū le yǒu hài zá zhì ， zěn me hái shì zhè zhǒng jié guǒ ， lín xuān yǒu xiē jīng nù jiāo jí le 。
怎么回事。自己明明已经提纯出了有害杂质，怎么还是这种结果，林轩有些惊怒交集了。
Although Nanhe became the new Ice Plain Lord and his cultivation level surged to mid-transformation peak, he still fell short compared to the Poison Serpent King and the Beige-eyed Ancestor. Moreover, during their battle with the玄凤门, many of his people were injured.
sú huà shuō ， zhì zhě qiān lǜ ， bì yǒu yī shī ， lín xuān suī rán xīn sī shèn mì ， dàn yě fàn le yí gè ……
俗话说，智者千虑，必有一失，林轩虽然心思慎密，但也犯了一个……
Originally, the three races had a balance, but now the Ice Desert Wasteland's strength was clearly inadequate.
shí xīn mó táo běn lái jiù shì yǐ xiào lì bà dào zhù chēng de ， tí chún yǐ hòu ， yào xiào zì rán biàn dé gèng jiā de gāng měng 。
蚀心魔桃本来就是以效力霸道著称的，提纯以后，药效自然变得更加的刚猛。
As they say, when it rains, it pours. The Snow Fox Clan was in decline, yet they had something that made the other two demon races wary—Xiang'er, the little girl.
jiǎ rú tā yǒu yuán yīng hòu qī ， shèn zhì shì zhōng qī dǐng fēng de xiū wèi ， tūn luò cǐ wù ， dōu hái hǎo shuō ， kě lín xuān suī rán shén tōng yuǎn yuǎn bǐ tóng jiē xiū shì qiáng dé duō ， kě guī gēn jié dǐ ， bì jìng zhǐ shì chū qī de xiū shì ér yǐ 。
假如他有元婴后期，甚至是中期顶峰的修为，吞落此物，都还好说，可林轩虽然神通远远比同阶修士强得多，可归根结底，毕竟只是初期的修士而已。
Although she was loved by all and could easily advance to the Separation stage after a few centuries, her extraordinary talent meant that she would soon be beyond anyone's reach.
rú cǐ mǎng zhuàng de jiāng tí chún hòu de mó táo tūn fú ， zì rán dé bú dào shén me hǎo jié guǒ 。
如此莽撞的将提纯后的魔桃吞服，自然得不到什么好结果。
The danger must be eliminated before it blossoms.
cǐ shí lín xuān yě méi yǒu xīn qíng qù sī liáng qí zhōng de yuán yóu ， zhǐ néng shuāng yīng hé zuò 。 jìn lì xiǎng jiāng jú miàn kòng zhì zhù 。
此时林轩也没有心情去思量其中的缘由，只能双婴合作。尽力想将局面控制住。
In another way of saying it, seize the opportunity while he is sick!
fǒu zé hòu guǒ kě jiù bù kān shè xiǎng le 。
否则后果可就不堪设想了。
Both the Poison Serpent King and the Beige-eyed Ancestor were ruthless individuals who wouldn't miss such an opportunity. They joined forces to attack the Ice Desert Wasteland.
lín xuān xīn zhōng àn àn jiào kǔ 。
林轩心中暗暗叫苦。
With strong forces attacking weak ones, the outcome seemed predetermined.
zì jǐ xiū xiān yǐ lái yù jiàn de wēi xiǎn yě wèi miǎn tài duō 。
自己修仙以来遇见的危险也未免太多。
The Ice Desert Wasteland was in a state of panic as even some mid-transformation ancient monsters were terrified.
dàn bào yuàn méi yǒu yòng chǔ 。 yě zhǐ néng yǎo yá yìng tǐng le 。
但抱怨没有用处。也只能咬牙硬挺了。
Faced with this situation, Nanhe did not retreat. The Snow Fox Clan had been around for over a million years and had seen many dangers.
ér tā zhè yī bì guān 。 jiù shì sān nián zhī jiǔ 。
而他这一闭关。就是三年之久。
Without her father, she would
jiù xiū shì lái shuō ， zì rán suàn bù shàng zhǎng de 。
就修士来说，自然算不上长的。
Face the challenge; that was her final decision. Although the Beige-eyed Ancestor and Poison Serpent King sent a transmission scroll to ask her to hand over Xiang'er in exchange for peace!
rán ér wài miàn de xiū xiān jiè què fēng qǐ yún yǒng 。
然而外面的修仙界却风起云涌。
But this was impossible. How could Nanhe, who valued honor, agree to use her sister as leverage just to survive?
yuè xián fēng yǔn luò ， xuě hú wáng shī zōng ， bīng mò huāng yuán yǔ xuán fèng mén suī rán zhǐ xī gān gē ， dàn zhěng gè yāo líng dǎo yǐ shì àn cháo yǒng dòng 。
岳弦峰陨落，雪狐王失踪，冰漠荒原与玄凤门虽然止息干戈，但整个妖灵岛已是暗潮涌动。
The mobilization order had been issued, and countless demons gathered from the Ice Desert Wasteland. Humans were also restless, preparing for a massive catastrophe on妖灵岛.
rén lèi zhè biān zàn qiě bù shuō 。
人类这边暂且不说。
However, at the moment when both sides were ready to engage, something unexpected happened.
yāo zú kě shì yào kāi shǐ zì xiāng cán shā le 。
妖族可是要开始自相残杀了。
A demon cloud drifted in from afar, moving slowly but quickly approaching above the heads of all the demons.
suī rán nuǎn hé chéng wéi le xīn yí dài de bīng yuán zhī zhǔ ， ér qiě xiū wèi bào zhǎng dào le huà xíng zhōng qī bǒ fēng ， dàn bǐ qǐ dú jiāo wáng yǔ bì yǎn lǎo zǔ bì jìng xùn sè le yī chóu ， hé kuàng yǔ xuán fèng mén dà zhàn de shí hòu yě sǔn shāng le bù shǎo rén shǒu 。
虽然暖河成为了新一代的冰原之主，而且修为暴涨到了化形中期簸峰，但比起毒蛟王与碧眼老祖毕竟逊色了一筹，何况与玄凤门大战的时候也损伤了不少人手。
As the mist dispersed, an old man with a thin frame and slightly hazy eyes revealed himself.
yuán běn sān zú dǐng lì ， kě xiàn zài bīng mò huāng yuán de shí lì míng xiǎn bù jì 。
原本三族鼎立，可现在冰漠荒原的实力明显不济。
The Poison Serpent King and Beige-eyed Ancestor were stunned when they saw him, immediately bowing down respectfully as if he was a god.
sú huà shuō ， wū lòu piān féng lián yè yǔ ， rú jīn xuě hú zú shì wēi le ， kě tā men què yǒu yī yàng mì mì ràng lìng wài liǎng dà yāo zú jì dàn bù yǐ 。
俗话说，屋漏偏逢连夜雨，如今雪狐族式微了，可他们却有一样秘密让另外两大妖族忌惮不已。
Most mid-transformation ancient monsters were confused but some recognized him, showing extreme respect.
bú yòng shuō ， zì rán shì xiāng ér nà yā tou 。
不用说，自然是香儿那丫头。
Soon, the rumor spread among all the demons that this unassuming old man was none other than Tianmu, the only Separation stage expert on妖灵岛, who had been revered for tens of thousands of years.
tā rú jīn suī rén jiàn rén ài 。 huā jiàn huā kāi ， kě wèi rén chù wú hài ， kě zī zhì nì tiān ， guò gè 。 jǐ bǎi nián ， jìn jiē lí hé qī qīng ér yì jǔ ， nà shí hòu ， xuě hú zú de shì lì jiāng wú rén kě jí 。
她如今虽人见人爱。花见花开，可谓人畜无害，可资质逆天，过个。几百年，进阶离合期轻而易举，那时候，雪狐族的势力将无人可及。
Seeing this legendary ancestor, these fierce demon cultivators behaved like rabbits.
wēi xiǎn yào fǔ shā zài méng yá rěn
危险要抚杀在萌芽忍
But why would an ancient Separation stage expert, who hadn't ventured out in ten thousand years to practice deep in the mountains and forests, suddenly come here?
huàn yī zhǒng shuō fǎ ， jiù shì chèn tā bìng ， yào tā mìng ！
换一种说法，就是趁他病，要他命！
The Poison Serpent King and Beige-eyed Ancestor hurriedly asked respectfully for his reason.
dú jiāo wáng yǔ bì yǎn lǎo zǔ dōu shì xīn hěn shǒu là zhī tú ， zhè me hǎo de jī huì zì rán bú huì cuò guò ， yú shì lián shǒu xiàng bīng mò huāng yuán qǐ le jìn gōng 。
毒蛟王与碧眼老祖都是心狠手辣之徒，这么好的机会自然不会错过，于是联手向冰漠荒原起了进攻。
After a low conversation, their faces changed dramatically. Tianmu ordered them to withdraw from the conflict.
qiáng qiáng lián hé 。 gōng dǎ ruò zhě 。 jié jú sì hū yǐ jīng zhù dìng le 。
强强联合。攻打弱者。结局似乎已经注定了。
If not for him being busy with his cultivation at that critical moment, he wouldn't have notified the Snow Fox King to seal off space to investigate the ancient demons.
bīng mò huāng yuán fēng shēng hè lì ， biàn shì bù shǎo huà xíng qī lǎo guài wù yě jīng jù bù yǐ 。
冰漠荒原风声鹤唳，便是不少化形期老怪物也惊惧不已。
And he would not have perished.
miàn duì zhè zhǒng jú miàn 。 yú hé bìng méi yǒu tuì suō ， xuě hú yī zú yǐ jīng zhuàn chéng le shàng bǎi wàn nián ， shén me wēi xiǎn méi yǒu jiàn guò 。
面对这种局面。娱河并没有退缩，雪狐一族已经传承了上百万年，什么危险没有见过。
The Snow Fox King was still alive, and the Poison Serpent and Beige-eyed Ancestor wouldn't be bullying this orphan girl. This incident started because of him, so Tianmu couldn't stay out of it. Although they didn't interfere in daily matters, causing such a situation made him feel guilty.
fù qīn bù zài le ， tā shì yī
父亲不在了，她是一
Withdrawal, the Poison Serpent King and Beige-eyed Ancestor were unwilling but dared not defy Tianmu.
yíng jī ， zhè shì nuǎn hé zuì hòu de jué dìng ， jǐn guǎn bì yǎn lǎo zǔ yǔ dú jiāo wáng lián shǒu lái chuán yīn fú ， ràng tā jiāo chū xiāng ér jiù kě bà shǒu ！
迎击，这是暖河最后的决定，尽管碧眼老祖与毒蛟王联手来传音符，让她交出香儿就可罢手！
After all, he was an ancient Separation stage expert revered as a god by all demons. If angered, he could easily kill them with a wave of his hand.
dàn zhè shì bù kě néng de ， nuǎn hé qǐ néng wèi le gǒu qiě tōu shēng ， jiāng zì jǐ de mèi mèi zuò wèi tán pàn zhī wù ， nà yàng hái yǒu hé miàn mù qù jiàn lì dài xuě hú zhī zhǔ 。
但这是不可能的，暖河岂能为了芶且偷生，将自己的妹妹做为谈判之物，那样还有何面目去见历代雪狐之主。
Considering the pros and cons, they reluctantly accepted this order.
dòng yuán lìng yǐ jīng bù ， bīng mò huāng yuán jù jí le shǔ yǐ wàn jì de yāo zú ， rén lèi yě shì chǔn chǔn yù dòng ， yǎn kàn yāo líng dǎo yào xiàn rù zhēn bǎi wàn lái zuì dà de hào jié zhī zhōng 。
动员令已经布，冰漠荒原聚集了数以万计的妖族，人类也是蠢蠢欲动，眼看妖灵岛要陷入真百万来最大的浩劫之中。
In the cultivation world, survival of the fittest; such a Separation stage existence could change the order on妖灵岛.
rán ér jiù zài shuāng fāng yǐ bù hǎo zhèn shì 。 zhǔn bèi dòng shǒu de yī kè ， yī jiàn shuí yě bù céng yù liào de shì qíng shēng le 。
然而就在双方已布好阵势。准备动手的一刻，一件谁也不曾预料的事情生了。
Thus, due to Tianmu's intervention, a major disaster was avoided. The Snow Fox Clan gained precious time for recuperation.
yī duǒ yāo yún cóng yuǎn chù piāo lái ， shì huǎn shí jí ， hěn kuài jiù lái dào le wàn yāo de tóu dǐng shàng kōng 。
一朵妖云从远处飘来，似缓实急，很快就来到了万妖的头顶上空。
In the Mystic Forest,
yún wù sàn kāi yǐ hòu ， lù chū le yī míng shēn cái bù gāo de lǎo zhě ， pí bāo gú tou ， shí fēn shòu ruò ， shuāng yǎn yě xiǎn de yǒu xiē hún zhuó 。
云雾散开以后，露出了一名身材不高的老者，皮包骨头，十分瘦弱，双眼也显得有些浑浊。
Yue'er sat idly in her cave, three years having passed since the master retreated into seclusion. The purification of the蚀心魔桃 wasn't going well, and Yue'er felt anxious.
rán ér dú jiāo wáng yǔ bì yǎn lǎo zǔ yī jiàn cǐ rén ， què jīng dé mù dèng kǒu dāi ， lián máng fān shēn jiù bài ， shí fēn gōng jìng de jiàn qǐ le lǐ ， lái 。
然而毒蛟王与碧眼老祖一见此人，却惊得目瞪口呆，连忙翻身就拜，十分恭敬的见起了礼，来。
But she didn't dare rush in. Breaking through a bottleneck was most忌disturbing.
qí tā huà xíng qī lǎo guài ， duō shù yī liǎn máng rán ， dàn yě yǒu shǎo shù ， xiàng shì xiǎng qǐ le shén me ， yí gè èr gè ， yě lù chū le gōng jìng wú bǐ de shén sè 。
其他化形期老怪，多数一脸茫然，但也有少数，像是想起了什么，一个二个，也露出了恭敬无比的神色。
"Nothing should be wrong," Yue'er consoled herself. "The master has faced many storms; could danger surpass what he encountered with the ancient demons?"
hěn kuài “ yáo yán ” jiù zài wàn yāo zhōng chuán kāi ， zhè mào bù jīng rén de xiǎo lǎo tóu , jū rán jiù shì wēi zhèn yāo líng dǎo shù wàn nián ， rú jīn wéi yī de yī wèi lí hé qī gāo shǒu ， tiān mù lǎo zǔ 。
很快“谣言”就在万妖中传开，这貌不惊人的小老头,居然就是威震妖灵岛数万年，如今唯一的一位离合期高手，天沐老祖。
After some time, her expression suddenly changed as she turned and flew out without hesitation.
jiàn dào zhè wèi chuán shuō zhōng de lǎo zǔ zōng 。 yě jiù nán guài zhè xiē xiōng shén è shà de huà xíng qī yāo xiū ， yí gè èr gè bǐ tù zi hái guāi le 。
见到这位传说中的老祖宗。也就难怪这些凶神恶煞的化形期妖修，一个二个比兔子还乖了。
The scenery remained unchanged, but a green arc streaked from afar.
zhǐ shì cǐ lǎo bú shì wèi le fēi shēng líng jiè ， yì zhí zài shēn shān mì lín zhōng kǔ xiū ， zǎo yǐ bù wèn shì shì yǒu wàn nián le me ？
只是此老不是为了飞升灵界，一直在深山密林中苦修，早已不问世事有万年了么？
Moving slowly but quickly approaching, it emitted a powerful demonic aura.
tū rán lái cǐ shì wèi le hé gù ， dú jiāo wáng yǔ bì yǎn lǎo zǔ lián máng xiǎo xīn yì yì de qǐng jiào le qǐ lái 。
突然来此是为了何故，毒蛟王与碧眼老祖连忙小心翼翼的请教了起来。
Mid-transformation!
shuāng fāng dī shēng jiāo tán 。
双方低声交谈。
Yue'er's face was pale. When choosing this cave, the master had considered many options. Although located in the Mystic Forest, few demon beasts frequented here, and Yue'er only encountered some low-level monsters over the past three years.
rán ér hěn kuài ， liǎng míng dà yāo shòu jiù liǎn sè dà biàn 。
然而很快，两名大妖兽就脸色大变。
She hadn't expected to encounter a mid-transformation demon today.
tiān mù lǎo zǔ jū rán mìng lìng tā men chè bīng lí kāi 。
天沐老祖居然命令他们撤兵离开。
This was troublesome.
shuō qǐ lái ， ruò fēi zì jǐ dāng chū zhèng hǎo xiū liàn dào le jǐn yào guān tóu ， fēn shēn fá shù ， yě bú huì tōng zhī xuě hú wáng qù fēng bì kōng jiān chá tàn gǔ mó 。
说起来，若非自己当初正好修炼到了紧要关头，分身乏术，也不会通知雪狐王去封闭空间查探古魔。
Her strength was clear; she was only at the late-stage凝聚丹 stage now. While far stronger than her peers, facing such a monster,
ér tā yě jiù bú huì yǔn luò 。
而他也就不会陨落。
Yue'er's face lost all color but she didn't retreat. She had to ensure the master's safety no matter what. Being disturbed could lead to a dangerous situation.
xuě hú wáng ruò zài ， bì yǎn yǔ dú jiāo yě jiù bú huì lái qī fù gū nǚ ， shuō qǐ lái cǐ shì yīn zì jǐ ér qǐ ， tiān mù lǎo zǔ yě bù hǎo zhì shēn shì wài 。 bì jìng tā yǔ xuě hú zú kě shì yǒu yī xiē yuān yuán ， píng shí shēng shén me kě yǐ bù guǎn ， dàn zào chéng zhè zhǒng jú miàn ， sā shǒu jiù yǒu xiē liáng xīn bù ān 。
雪狐王若在，碧眼与毒蛟也就不会来欺负孤女，说起来此事因自己而起，天沐老祖也不好置身事外。毕竟他与雪狐族可是有一些渊源，平时生什么可以不管，但造成这种局面，撒手就有些良心不安。
Using concealment techniques, Yue'er hid quietly.
chè bīng ， dú jiāo wáng yǔ bì yǎn zì rán shì wàn fēn bù yuàn 。
撤兵，毒蛟王与碧眼自然是万分不愿。
Unable to fight directly, she would have to use intelligence. Compared to before, she was smarter now.
dàn tā men gèng bù gǎn xíng nì tiān mù lǎo zǔ 。
但他们更不敢行逆天沐老祖。
Hopefully, that demon just passed by.
duì fāng kě shì lí hé qì lǎo guài wù ， zài qún yāo xīn mù zhōng shén yì bān cún zài de 。
对方可是离合器老怪物，在群妖心目中神一般存在的。
But clearly, it wasn't so simple.
ruò shì jiāng duì fāng rě jí ， suí shǒu jiù kě yǐ miè shā zì jǐ 。
若是将对方惹急，随手就可以灭杀自己。
The green arc circled and landed in front of the waterfall, its light fading as an old man's face revealed itself.
quán héng lì bì ， dú jiāo wáng yǔ qiè yǎn zhǐ néng niē zhe bí zi rèn le cǐ shì 。
权衡利弊，毒蛟王与妾眼只能捏着鼻子认了此事。
At first glance, he had a Taoist demeanor, but his forehead bore two goat-like horns. His eyes were green, giving him a captivating presence.
xiū xiān jiè ruò ròu qiáng shí ， lí hé qī zhè yàng de cún zài gèng kě yǐ gǎi biàn zhěng gè yāo líng dǎo de zhì xù 。
修仙界弱肉强食，离合期这样的存在更可以改变整个妖灵岛的秩序。
After landing, the Green Sage immediately fixed his gaze on the waterfall, narrowing his eyes with a hint of煞气.
yú shì ， yóu yú tiān mù lǎo zǔ de gān yù ， yī cháng dà huò xiāo nì yú wú xíng ， xuě hú zú dé dào le bǎo guì de shí jiān xiū yǎng shēng xī 。
于是，由于天沐老祖的干预，一场大祸消匿于无形，雪狐族得到了宝贵的时间休养生息。
Yue'er inwardly groaned. Although the master didn't set up any illusions, it was obvious that this mid-transformation ancient monster could see through them with his spiritual perception.
First, a beautiful young girl appeared before him. Lin Xuan was about to retreat into seclusion with Qishan, so Nì the little girl naturally wouldn't be idle either. Her main task would be to guard Lin Xuan.
Those purified powders could make ancient demons drop in their cultivation levels, so the remaining fruits should have effects that improve one's cultivation. He could take them without worry.
Lin Xuan gave a brief instruction to Yue'er and then went into his training room.
The place was rather simple, but cultivators didn't care much about such things.
Lin Xuan sat cross-legged and took a moment to regulate his breath. Once he reached the peak of his mental and spiritual state, he stretched out his hand and tapped on his storage bag. A jade box the size of a palm flew out from inside.
Opening the lid, a purple fruit came into view, half the size of the蚀心魔桃 that grew on trees.
Lin Xuan held it in his hands to examine it.
Then he raised his head and swallowed it down.
But something was wrong. He had already purified harmful impurities, yet this result still occurred. Lin Xuan felt both angry and alarmed.
They say even a wise man can make one mistake. Although Lin Xuan was meticulous, he made one...
The蚀心魔桃 was known for its powerful effects, and after purification, the medicinal properties became even more intense.
If he had an advanced中期元婴 cultivation level or even a peak middle-stage元婴, swallowing this fruit wouldn't be a problem. However, although his abilities far surpassed those of his peers, Lin Xuan remained only at the initial stage of cultivation.
Swallowing such a fruit after purification naturally led to no good outcome.
Lin Xuan had no time to ponder the reasons and could only rely on both元婴 working together to try and control the situation.
Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Lin Xuan inwardly groaned. The dangers he encountered during his cultivation journey were too many.
But complaining was useless; he gritted his teeth and endured it.
And this seclusion lasted for three years.
For cultivators, that wasn't a long time.
However, outside the cultivation world, things were turbulent.
Yue Xianfeng had fallen, the Snow Fox King had disappeared, and although the Ice Desert Wasteland and the玄凤门 had stopped their conflicts, the entire妖灵岛 was already in turmoil.
On the human side, matters were not discussed here.
The demon race was about to start self-destructive battles.
Although Nanhe became the new Ice Plain Lord and his cultivation level surged to mid-transformation peak, he still fell short compared to the Poison Serpent King and the Beige-eyed Ancestor. Moreover, during their battle with the玄凤门, many of his people were injured.
Originally, the three races had a balance, but now the Ice Desert Wasteland's strength was clearly inadequate.
As they say, when it rains, it pours. The Snow Fox Clan was in decline, yet they had something that made the other two demon races wary—Xiang'er, the little girl.
Although she was loved by all and could easily advance to the Separation stage after a few centuries, her extraordinary talent meant that she would soon be beyond anyone's reach.
The danger must be eliminated before it blossoms.
In another way of saying it, seize the opportunity while he is sick!
Both the Poison Serpent King and the Beige-eyed Ancestor were ruthless individuals who wouldn't miss such an opportunity. They joined forces to attack the Ice Desert Wasteland.
With strong forces attacking weak ones, the outcome seemed predetermined.
The Ice Desert Wasteland was in a state of panic as even some mid-transformation ancient monsters were terrified.
Faced with this situation, Nanhe did not retreat. The Snow Fox Clan had been around for over a million years and had seen many dangers.
Without her father, she would
Face the challenge; that was her final decision. Although the Beige-eyed Ancestor and Poison Serpent King sent a transmission scroll to ask her to hand over Xiang'er in exchange for peace!
But this was impossible. How could Nanhe, who valued honor, agree to use her sister as leverage just to survive?
The mobilization order had been issued, and countless demons gathered from the Ice Desert Wasteland. Humans were also restless, preparing for a massive catastrophe on妖灵岛.
However, at the moment when both sides were ready to engage, something unexpected happened.
A demon cloud drifted in from afar, moving slowly but quickly approaching above the heads of all the demons.
As the mist dispersed, an old man with a thin frame and slightly hazy eyes revealed himself.
The Poison Serpent King and Beige-eyed Ancestor were stunned when they saw him, immediately bowing down respectfully as if he was a god.
Most mid-transformation ancient monsters were confused but some recognized him, showing extreme respect.
Soon, the rumor spread among all the demons that this unassuming old man was none other than Tianmu, the only Separation stage expert on妖灵岛, who had been revered for tens of thousands of years.
Seeing this legendary ancestor, these fierce demon cultivators behaved like rabbits.
But why would an ancient Separation stage expert, who hadn't ventured out in ten thousand years to practice deep in the mountains and forests, suddenly come here?
The Poison Serpent King and Beige-eyed Ancestor hurriedly asked respectfully for his reason.
After a low conversation, their faces changed dramatically. Tianmu ordered them to withdraw from the conflict.
If not for him being busy with his cultivation at that critical moment, he wouldn't have notified the Snow Fox King to seal off space to investigate the ancient demons.
And he would not have perished.
The Snow Fox King was still alive, and the Poison Serpent and Beige-eyed Ancestor wouldn't be bullying this orphan girl. This incident started because of him, so Tianmu couldn't stay out of it. Although they didn't interfere in daily matters, causing such a situation made him feel guilty.
Withdrawal, the Poison Serpent King and Beige-eyed Ancestor were unwilling but dared not defy Tianmu.
After all, he was an ancient Separation stage expert revered as a god by all demons. If angered, he could easily kill them with a wave of his hand.
Considering the pros and cons, they reluctantly accepted this order.
In the cultivation world, survival of the fittest; such a Separation stage existence could change the order on妖灵岛.
Thus, due to Tianmu's intervention, a major disaster was avoided. The Snow Fox Clan gained precious time for recuperation.
In the Mystic Forest,
Yue'er sat idly in her cave, three years having passed since the master retreated into seclusion. The purification of the蚀心魔桃 wasn't going well, and Yue'er felt anxious.
But she didn't dare rush in. Breaking through a bottleneck was most忌disturbing.
"Nothing should be wrong," Yue'er consoled herself. "The master has faced many storms; could danger surpass what he encountered with the ancient demons?"
After some time, her expression suddenly changed as she turned and flew out without hesitation.
The scenery remained unchanged, but a green arc streaked from afar.
Moving slowly but quickly approaching, it emitted a powerful demonic aura.
Mid-transformation!
Yue'er's face was pale. When choosing this cave, the master had considered many options. Although located in the Mystic Forest, few demon beasts frequented here, and Yue'er only encountered some low-level monsters over the past three years.
She hadn't expected to encounter a mid-transformation demon today.
This was troublesome.
Her strength was clear; she was only at the late-stage凝聚丹 stage now. While far stronger than her peers, facing such a monster,
Yue'er's face lost all color but she didn't retreat. She had to ensure the master's safety no matter what. Being disturbed could lead to a dangerous situation.
Using concealment techniques, Yue'er hid quietly.
Unable to fight directly, she would have to use intelligence. Compared to before, she was smarter now.
Hopefully, that demon just passed by.
But clearly, it wasn't so simple.
The green arc circled and landed in front of the waterfall, its light fading as an old man's face revealed itself.
At first glance, he had a Taoist demeanor, but his forehead bore two goat-like horns. His eyes were green, giving him a captivating presence.
After landing, the Green Sage immediately fixed his gaze on the waterfall, narrowing his eyes with a hint of煞气.
Yue'er inwardly groaned. Although the master didn't set up any illusions, it was obvious that this mid-transformation ancient monster could see through them with his spiritual perception.
