sú huà shuō , tà pò tiě xié wú mì chù , dé lái quán bù fèi gōng fu , gǔ rén chéng bù qī wǒ 。
俗话说,踏破铁鞋无觅处,得来全不费工夫,古人诚不欺我。
It's often said that when you search for something with great effort, it turns out to be right under your nose. And indeed, Lin Xuan found some peculiarities in the memory of this demon wolf. Even though these were mentioned by the妖族 in their form, they weren't noted on the map.
tōng guò duì zhè yāo láng jì yì de sōu suǒ , lín xuān hái zhēn xiàn le jǐ gè tè yì zhī chù , biàn shì nà huà xíng qī yāo zú , zài dì tú zhuó sī háo yě méi yǒu tí dào de 。
通过对这妖狼记忆的搜索,林轩还真现了几个特异之处,便是那化形期妖族,在地图卓丝毫也没有提到的。
He wasn’t sure if the map was incomplete or if the demon had intentionally omitted them. Regardless, he didn’t delve too deeply into the reasons; after all, the map had already brought him tangible benefits worth more than tens of thousands of crystal stones and rare materials. Lin Xuan felt quite satisfied with this.
yě bù zhī dào tā shì zhè zhēn de bù qīng chǔ ne , hái shì gù yì lòu diào le 。
也不知道他是这真的不清楚呢,还是故意漏掉了。
According to their proximity, he began exploring these suspicious locations one by one. He had already visited a forest and a lake before.
dāng rán , jù tǐ de yuán yóu lín xuān yě hèn dé qù tàn jiū , zhè dì tú yǐ jīng dài gěi le tā shí shí zài zài de hǎo chù , jià zhí zú yǐ yǔ nà shí yú wàn jīng shí hái yǒu zhēn xī cái liào xiāng dǐ 。
当然,具体的缘由林轩也恨得去探究,这地图已经带给了他实实在在的好处,价值足以与那十余万晶石还有珍稀材料相抵。
To his surprise, he did find some traces of ancient cultivators in the forest and at the lake, but nothing else.
lín xuān xīn zhōng yǐ shì pǒ wèi mǎn yì 。
林轩心中已是颇为满意。
Looking at the small hill in front of him, Lin Xuan sighed. This wasn’t the last suspicious location; however, the remaining two were only about tens of miles from the eyesore’s lair. If the teleportation array was indeed there, it would be difficult to leave without being noticed.
yú shì àn zhào yuǎn jìn de bù tóng , lín xuān duì nà jǐ gè kě yí de dì diǎn jìn xíng le … tàn suǒ , zài zhè zhī qián , tā yǐ jīng qù le yī chù sēn lín , hái yǒu yí gè hú pō 。
于是按照远近的不同,林轩对那几个可疑的地点进行了…探索,在这之前,他已经去了一处森林,还有一个湖泊。
Shaking his head, he put this aside for now and hoped that the gods would favor him enough for the array to be hidden in this hill.
bié shuō , dào zhēn gěi tā zhǎo dào le yī xiē gǔ xiū shì céng jīng huó dòng de xiàn suǒ , kě chú cǐ yǐ wài , bìng méi yǒu bié de shōu huò 。
别说,倒真给他找到了一些古修士曾经活动的线索,可除此以外,并没有别的收获。
With a deep breath, Lin Xuan released his divine sense, covering an area of over a hundred miles. He only found some low-grade demon tribes, but he was no longer careless after the last lesson. He scanned several times before opening his eyes slowly.
kàn zhuó yǎn qián de xiǎo shān , lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì , zhè bìng fēi zuì hòu yī chù kě yí zhī dì , rán ér shèng xià de liǎng chù dì diǎn , jù lí bì yǎn lǎo zǔ de dòng fǔ , dōu bù guò shù shí lǐ , tài guò jìn le xiē , jiǎ rú chuán sòng zhèn zhēn zài nà lǐ , xiǎng yào shén bù zhī guǐ bù jué de lí qù , kě jiù shì yī jiàn shí fēn má fán de shì 。
看着眼前的小山,林轩叹了口气,这并非最后一处可疑之地,然而剩下的两处地点,距离碧眼老祖的洞府,都不过数十里,太过近了些,假如传送阵真在那里,想要神不知鬼不觉的离去,可就是一件十分麻烦的事。
Reaching out, he summoned several array flags from his storage bracelet and pointed at one with a greenish-black array pattern. The flag transformed into a beam of light, slicing through the ground. A vast mountain peak was reduced to rubble in an instant.
lín xuān yáo le yáo tóu , jiāng cǐ shì zàn shí pāo zhū nǎo hòu , dàn yuàn lǎo tiān bǎo yòu , chuán sòng zhèn jiù zài zhè xiǎo shān zhī zhōng 。
林轩摇了摇头,将此事暂时抛诸脑后,但愿老天保佑,传送阵就在这小山之中。
But there was nothing. Lin Xuan’s face showed a hint of contemplation as he suddenly reached out and pulled from his waist a yellowish-brown talisman. Without any wind, it ignited and enveloped him in a pale yellow light.
niàn jí zhì cǐ , lín xuān xī le kǒu qì , fàng chū shén shí , jiāng fāng yuán bǎi yú lǐ quán dōu lǒng zhào le jìn qù , zhǐ yǒu yī xiē dī jiē yāo zú , bù guò yǒu le shàng cì de jiào “ lín xuān kě bù gǎn zài qīng xīn dà yì le , yī lián yòng shén shí zǎi zǐ xì xì de sǎo miáo le shù biàn , suí hòu cái huǎn huǎn de zhēng kāi le yǎn 。
念及至此,林轩吸了口气,放出神识,将方圆百余里全都笼罩了进去,只有一些低阶妖族,不过有了上次的教“林轩可不敢再轻心大意了,一连用神识仔仔细细的扫描了数遍,随后才缓缓的睁开了眼。
He then moved to the spot where the mountain once stood, sinking into the ground at its center.
shēn chū shǒu lái , zài chǔ wù dài shàng yī zhāo , jǐ gān zhèn qí xuán fú zài le tā de shēn qián 。
伸出手来,在储物袋上一招,几杆阵旗悬浮在了他的身前。
Though not particularly skilled with earth magic, Lin Xuan used an earth-transcending talisman for this purpose.
lín xuān shēn zhǐ yì diǎn , yī dào fǎ jué jī shè chū zhǐ jiān , mò rù qí zhōng yī gān mò lǜ sè de zhèn xī lǐ miàn 。
林轩伸指一点,一道法诀激射出指间,没入其中一杆墨绿色的阵熹里面。
The darkness below was pitch-black. As a cultivator, he wasn’t affected by it; his main tool was his divine sense.
nà zhèn qí yī hào , huà wèi yī dào lì máng duàn rù bǎi yú zhàng wài de dì dǐ bú jiàn 。
那阵旗一颢,化为一道厉芒段入百余丈外的地底不见。
At first, there were no results. But Lin Xuan didn’t rush. He descended several hundred meters before a hard stone blocked his path. The earth-transcending technique couldn’t penetrate through it, and the stone seemed to contain iron ore.
lín xuān rú fǎ páo zhì , yòu jiāng qí yú jǐ gān zhèn qí … bù zhì xià qù 。
林轩如法炮制,又将其余几杆阵旗…布置下去。
Lin Xuan’s eyes narrowed as he activated his Green Fire Sword. A sizzling sound echoed in his ears, and the deep black stone crumbled like tofu under his blade.
rán hòu zhuā zhù zhèn pán , jǐ dào fǎ jué dǎ zài shàng miàn 。
然后抓住阵盘,几道法诀打在上面。
Suddenly, a wide opening appeared, revealing a milky white light. Lin Xuan couldn’t help but smile; it seemed he had found the right place. Without hesitation, he flew forward into a large cavern. After landing, he began to look around, examining the scene carefully.
wú shù de wù qì mào le chū lái , jiāng fāng yuán shí yú lǐ de dì fāng wán quán zhē bì 。
无数的雾气冒了出来,将方圆十余里的地方完全遮蔽。
The cavern was vast and elliptical in shape, with fist-sized night pearls embedded on its walls, emitting that milky white light.
jǐng wù yī zhèn niǔ qū , bù guǎn shēng yīn , hái shì líng lì , dōu bèi wán quán gé jué ér qǐ 。
景物一阵扭曲,不管声音,还是灵力,都被完全隔绝而起。
But what caught Lin Xuan’s attention wasn’t these pearls; it was the teleportation array at the center of the cavern. The design was ancient, surrounded by five stone statues, each about human size.
bú yòng shuō , zhè shì yī huàn shù jìn zhì 。
不用说,这是一幻术禁制。
Four males and one female, their forms lifelike, carved with divine craftsmanship.
lín xuān zhuǎn tóu sì gù , dǎ liàng le yī fān , suí hòu lù chū le mǎn yì de shén sè lái 。
林轩转头四顾,打量了一番,随后露出了满意的神色来。
"Master, could this be the Five Great Cultivators?" Moon’s voice echoed in his mind.
zuǒ shǒu yī dǒu , yī dào yī dào de jiàn qì yú yóu chū yī xiù , yíng fēng jiù zhǎng , měi yī dào dōu biàn dé yǒu qī bā zhàng zhǎng 。
左手一抖,一道一道的剑气鱼游出衣袖,迎风就涨,每一道都变得有七八丈长。
"It should be correct," Lin Xuan replied. "While I haven’t seen them myself, the descriptions in Tianxiu Immortal’s memory are quite similar to that of the former Xuanfeng Ancestor."
suī rán zhè bìng fēi zhēn zhèng de fǎ bǎo , dàn yǐ lín xuān rú jīn de shí lì , měi dào jiàn qì de wēi lì , yě shì fēi cháng jīng rén dì 。
虽然这并非真正的法宝,但以林轩如今的实力,每道剑气的威力,也是非常惊人地。
The statue on the left was a beautiful young girl, her appearance so exquisite it seemed almost alive despite being made of stone.
hé kuàng shù liàng zhè me duō , biàn shì yuán yīng chū qī de lǎo guài wù , yě bù hǎo yìng fù 。 lín xuān shén niàn gǎn dòng , zhè xiē jiàn qì rú hǎi cháo nù tāo bān , xiàng zhe nà xiǎo shān xí juǎn ér lái 。 dùn shí shí liè shān bēng , ní tǔ fēn luò rú yǔ , bèi jiàn qì yī céng yī céng de xuē qù 。 bù guò shùn xī de gōng fu , dà hǎo de yī zuò shān fēng , jiù bèi lín xuān yí wéi píng dì 。
何况数量这么多,便是元婴初期的老怪物,也不好应付。林轩神念橄动,这些剑气如海潮怒涛般,向着那小山席卷而来。顿时石裂山崩,泥土纷落如雨,被剑气一层一层的削去。不过瞬息的功夫,大好的一座山峰,就被林轩夷为平地。
Lin Xuan’s heart raced as he remembered the final part of the Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens Technique. Without hesitation, he first paid his respects to the statues before walking toward the central teleportation array.
rán ér shén me yě méi yǒu , lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī chén yín zhī sè , tū rán shēn shǒu yī pāi , yī zhāng tǔ huáng sè de fú lí bèi tā cóng yāo jiān qǔ le chū lái 。
然而什么也没有,林轩脸上露出一丝沉吟之色,突然伸手一拍,一张土黄色的符黧被他从腰间取了出来。
This place was so hidden that no one had ever ventured here for millions of years, ensuring its pristine condition. However, since it could break through space and time, it must be incredibly complex. Despite his deep study of the璇玑心得, Lin Xuan couldn’t decipher much now.
wú fēng zì rán , huà wèi yī céng dàn huáng sè de guāng mù jiāng lín xuān bāo guǒ zài qí jiān 。
无风自燃,化为一层淡黄色的光幕将林轩包裹在其间。
But he wasn’t discouraged; he would gradually learn more about arrays in the future. He scanned the array with his eyes, noticing a small groove where a crystal was supposed to be installed.
rán hòu tā lái dào yuán xiān shān fēng suǒ zài de wèi zhì , cóng zhèng zhōng xīn chén rù dì dǐ 。
然后他来到原先山峰所在的位置,从正中心沉入地底。
From his pocket, he took out a box and opened it to reveal a black stone the size of an egg. Dark magic energy emanated from it. This was an upper realm item, reputedly worth more than top-grade crystals.
duì yú tǔ xì fǎ shù , lín xuān bìng bú shì hěn jīng tōng , suǒ yǐ biàn jiè zhù le yī zhāng tǔ dùn fú 。
对于土系法术,林轩并不是很精通,所以便借助了一张土遁符。
Lin Xuan felt uneasy: could this infernal stone really activate the teleportation array?
xià miàn hēi qī qī de , bù guò zuò wéi xiū xiān zhě , kàn bù kàn dé jiàn , duì lín xuān bìng méi yǒu duō dà yǐng xiǎng , tā zhǔ yào jiè zhù , shén shí tàn cè 。
下面黑漆漆的,不过作为修仙者,看不看得见,对林轩并没有多大影响,他主要借助,神识探测。
He had no confidence in it. During his condensation process, he had used up a top-grade crystal to increase the temperature of the earth fire. Such treasures were rare and hard to find again on such a small island like妖灵岛.
qǐ chū , bìng méi yǒu shōu huò 。
起初,并没有收获。
With nothing left but desperation, Lin Xuan decided to give it a try. If this infernal stone failed, he didn’t know what to do next.
dàn lín xuān bù jí , yì kǒu qì qián xià le èr sān bǎi zhàng de jù lí 。
但林轩不急,一口气潜下了二三百丈的距离。
After securing the stone in place, Lin Xuan closed his eyes and began casting spells, emitting a dense demonic aura from his body...
tū rán , yī jiān yìng de shí tou dǎng zhù le qù lù , tǔ dùn shù yě wú fǎ chuān guò , zhè shí tou zhī zhōng , sì hū hán yǒu tiě jīng de 。
突然,一坚硬的石头挡住了去路,土遁术也无法穿过,这石头之中,似乎含有铁精的。
Behind him, a colorful phoenix appeared as described in the Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens Technique.
lín xuān yǎn jīng yī mī , jiāng qīng huǒ jiàn jì qǐ , cī lā de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr lǐ , nà shēn hēi sè de shí tou dùn shí yǒu rú dòu fǔ , bèi tā pī dé sì fēn wǔ liè 。
林轩眼睛一眯,将青火剑祭起,刺啦的声音传入耳里,那深黑色的石头顿时有如豆腐,被他劈得四分五裂。
Activating the array required only basic knowledge. Lin Xuan didn’t need to go through much trouble.
qián miàn huò rán kāi lǎng , jū rán chū xiàn le rǔ bái sè de liàng guāng 。 lín xuān qiān le qiān zuǐ jiǎo , kàn lái zhè cì shì zhǎo duì le dì fāng 。 tā bù zài chí yí , lì kè dùn guāng xiàng qián fēi qù 。 yī jù dà de yán dòng chū xiàn zài le shì xiàn lǐ 。 lín xuān luò dì yǐ hòu , jiāng fǎ shù yī shōu , jiù kāi shǐ yóu mù sì gù , zhuǎn tóu dǎ liàng qǐ lái le 。
前面豁然开朗,居然出现了乳白色的亮光。林轩牵了牵嘴角,看来这次是找对了地方。他不再迟疑,立刻遁光向前飞去。一巨大的岩洞出现在了视线里。林轩落地以后,将法术一收,就开始游目四顾,转头打量起来了。
With a phoenix-like call echoing in his ears, the statue of the Xuanfeng Immortal’s eyes glowed with divine light. She raised her arms and began casting spells, creating a series of runes on the ground.
zhè yán dòng shí fēn kuān guǎng , chéng tuǒ yuán xíng , zài sì zhōu de bì shàng , xiāng qiàn zhe yí gè gè quán tou dà xiǎo de yè míng zhū , nà rǔ bái sè de guāng yùn jiù shì cóng lǐ miàn chū 。
这岩洞十分宽广,呈椭圆形,在四周的壁上,镶嵌着一个个拳头大小的夜明珠,那乳白色的光韵就是从里面出。
Lin Xuan felt no surprise; this was described at the end of the technique.
bù guò xī yǐn lín xuān shì xiàn de bú shì zhè ge 。
不过吸引林轩视线的不是这个。
The material used for these statues wasn’t ordinary stone but rare soft jade, allowing them to move freely. The five demon cultivators each left part of their soul here, enabling them to sense descendants carrying on their legacy.
ér shì zài yán dòng de zhōng yāng , yǒu yī chuán sòng zhèn , zào xíng gǔ piáo , zhōu wéi hái yǒu wǔ zuò yù shí de diāo sù 。
而是在岩洞的中央,有一传送阵,造型古朴,周围还有五座玉石的雕塑。
Xuanfeng Immortal looked at Lin Xuan and raised her arms like a butterfly, casting spells that created a series of runes in the air.
měi yī zuò de dà xiǎo dōu yǔ zhēn rén chà bu duō 。
每一座的大小都与真人差不多。
A whistling sound filled his ears as he felt some urgency. Could the array be activated?
sì nán yī nǚ , xíng mào xǔ xǔ rú shēng , diāo kè shǒu fǎ yǒu ruò tiān rén 。
四男一女,形貌栩栩如生,雕刻手法有若天人。
As rune symbols began glowing on the ground, dark magic energy powered them, making the cave seem eerie.
“ shào yé , nán dào zhè jiù shì wǔ dà xiū yāo zhě ?” yuè ér de shēng yīn zài nǎo hǎi zhōng xiǎng qǐ lái “ yīng gāi bú huì yǒu cuò , bié rén bù gǎn shuō , dàn zuǒ cè zhè wèi nǚ zǐ yīng éi jiù shì xī rì de xuán fèng zǔ shī , wǒ suī rán méi yǒu jiàn guò , dàn tiān xiù zhēn rén de jì yì zhōng duì tā yǒu yī xiē miáo shù , dào yǒu qī bā fēn xiāng xiàng de 。” lín xuān rú cǐ zhè bān de jiě shuō 。
“少爷,难道这就是五大修妖者?”月儿的声音在脑海中响起来“应该不会有错,别人不敢说,但左侧这位女子应诶就是昔日的玄凤祖师,我虽然没有见过,但天秀真人的记忆中对她有一些描述,倒有七八分相像的。”林轩如此这般的解说。
Soon, several thick black snakes appeared and tore at the void... sizzling sounds echoed as space distorted around them. Lin Xuan’s expression became strange; this was different from what was described in the Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens Technique. Could it be due to using infernal stones?
zuǒ cè nà wèi shào nǚ , róng mào xiù lì yǐ jí , suī shì yī jiàn yù shí diāo kè de sǐ wù , què jū rán yǒu zhōng líng zhī qì cóng lǐ miàn tòu chū 。
左侧那位少女,容貌秀丽以极,虽是一件玉石雕刻的死物,却居然有钟灵之气从里面透出。
Regardless, he didn’t care now. As the space distortion grew more intense, only tiny cracks appeared. This narrow gap wouldn’t allow him through.
lín xuān xīn zhōng yī dòng , fèng wǔ jiǔ tiān jué de mò wěi duì cǐ shì yě yǒu miáo shù , lín xuān bù gǎn dài màn , xiān chōng zhe wǔ jù diāo xiàng yáo yáo xíng le yī lǐ , suí hòu cái mài bù xiàng zhèng zhōng huàn de chuán sòng zhèn zǒu qù 。
林轩心中一动,凤舞九天诀的末尾对此事也有描述,林轩不敢怠慢,先冲着五具雕像遥遥行了一礼,随后才迈步向正中奂的传送阵走去。
Lin Xuan frowned and reached out with his left hand, pulling a long, ancient-looking halberd from his waist.
cǐ chù rú cǐ yǐn mì , qiān bǎi wàn nián lái , cóng wèi yǒu rén shè zú , bǎo cún zì rán shì fēi cháng wán bù guò jì rán néng gòu pò suì xū kōng , kě xiǎng ér zhī cǐ zhèn shì shēn ào dào le hé zhǒng chéng dù , lín xuān suī rán jīng yán xuán jī xīn dé , rán ér cǐ kè què shì shén me yě kàn bù dǒng le 。
此处如此隐秘,千百万年来,从未有人涉足,保存自然是非常完不过既然能够破碎虚空,可想而知此阵是深奥到了何种程度,林轩虽然精研璇玑心得,然而此刻却是什么也看不懂了。
This was the spatial magic weapon.
bù guò tā dào yě méi shén me hǎo qì něi de , zhèn fǎ zhī shí rì hòu yǒu shí jiān zài màn màn è bǔ 。 lín xuān rì guāng zài fǎ zhèn shàng sǎo qù , yí gè jī dàn dà xiǎo de āo cáo chū xiàn zài le tā de shì xiàn bú yòng shuō , lǐ miàn xū yào ān zhuāng jīng shí 。 lín xuān cóng huái zhōng qǔ chū yí gè hé zi 。 hé gài dǎ kāi , yī jī dàn dà xiǎo de hēi sè shí tou lù le chū lái 。 kě pà de mó qì pèi rán ér chū 。 cǐ nǎi shàng jiè zhī wù , jù shuō lùn jià zhí yě bù xùn yú jí pǐn jīng shí de 。
不过他倒也没什么好气馁的,阵法知识日后有时间再慢慢恶补。林轩日光在法阵上扫去,一个鸡蛋大小的凹槽出现在了他的视线不用说,里面需要安装晶石。林轩从怀中取出一个盒子。盒盖打开,一鸡蛋大小的黑色石头露了出来。可怕的魔气沛然而出。此乃上界之物,据说论价值也不逊于极品晶石的。
He grasped it and poured all his magical energy into it. A layer of greenish-black light enveloped the halberd, with some silver threads mixed in.
bù guò lín xuān xīn zhōng hái shì yǒu xiē tǎn tè ,:8 mó shí zuò wèi tì dài zhī wù zhēn de néng qǐ dòng zhè pò suì xū kōng de luò sòng zhèn me ?
不过林轩心中还是有些忐忑,:8魔石做为替代之物真的能启动这破碎虚空的络送阵么?
It looked mysterious and ancient.
tā kě shì yì diǎn yě méi yǒu bǎ wò 。
他可是一点也没有把握。
Lin Xuan swung the halberd fiercely downward...
rán ér jié yīng de shí hòu , wèi le zēng jiā dì huǒ wēn dù , yǐ quán jiāng cóng dú jiāo wáng shǒu zhōng suǒ de dào de nà kuài jí pǐn jīng shí yòng diào le 。
然而结婴的时候,为了增加地火温度,已铨将从毒蛟王手中所得到的那块极品晶石用掉了。
As if tearing through fabric, a crescent-shaped blade appeared, slicing the distorted space.
zhè zhǒng bǎo wù , kě yù ér bù kě qiú , xiǎo xiǎo de yāo líng dǎo xiǎng yào zài xún zhǎo yī kuài , wú yì yú wú nài zhī xià , lín xuān zhǐ yǒu yìng zhe tóu pí , sǐ mǎ dàng zuò huó mǎ lái yī 。
这种宝物,可遇而不可求,小小的妖灵岛想要再寻找一块,无异于无奈之下,林轩只有硬着头皮,死马当做活马来医。
Even with this top-grade treasure, Lin Xuan couldn’t break through the void. However, the area was already torn apart by the black snakes. This became the final straw.
dàn yuàn mó shí zuò wèi tì dài zhī wù , yě néng qǐ dào xiào guǒ , fǒu zé zì jǐ zhēn yǒu diǎn bù zhī dào gāi zěn me bàn hǎo le 。
但愿魔石做为替代之物,也能起到效果,否则自己真有点不知道该怎么办好了。
The light expanded and contracted, breaking through the space.
jiāng qí ān hǎo yǐ hòu , lín xuān bì shàng yǎn móu , shuāng shǒu bù tíng huī wǔ , yī gǔ nóng mì de yāo qì cóng tā shēn tǐ lǐ cuàn chū ……
将其安好以后,林轩闭上眼眸,双手不停挥舞,一股浓密的妖气从他身体里窜出……
A circular crack over ten feet wide appeared in his vision, revealing a dark abyss.
yǐn yǐn de , lín xuān shēn hòu jìng rán chū xiàn nǐ le yī zhī cǎi fèng , bú yòng shuō , zhè jiù shì fèng wǔ jiǔ tiān jué suǒ jì zǎi de shén tōng 。
隐隐的,林轩身后竟然出现你了一只彩凤,不用说,这就是凤舞九天诀所记载的神通。
Lin Xuan’s face was a mix of worry and relief as he prepared to enter.
qǐ dòng chuán sòng zhèn zhǐ xū yào rù mén de gōng fu jí kě , lín xuān dào yě bù xū yào dà fèi bō zhé 。
启动传送阵只需要入门的功夫即可,林轩倒也不需要大费波折。
"Master, are you really going in?" Moon’s voice echoed with fear.
suí zhe yī shēng fèng huáng de míng jiào chuán rù ěr duǒ , nà xuán fèng xiān zi de diāo xiàng jìng xiàng shì gǎn yìng dào le shén me 。
随着一声凤凰的鸣叫传入耳朵,那玄凤仙子的雕像竟像是感应到了什么。
"I wouldn’t stay here," Lin Xuan said calmly. "I’ve finally opened this space rift; I don’t want to waste it."
tóng kǒng zhī zhōng , jìng rán fàng chū le yī sī líng máng , sà rán tái qǐ le zhēn 。 lín xuān dào yě bìng wèi gǎn dào duō me qí shuān , cǐ shì zài fèng wǔ jiǔ tiān jué mò wěi yǐ yǒu jì zǎi 。
瞳孔之中,竟然放出了一丝灵芒,飒然抬起了臻。林轩倒也并未感到多么奇栓,此事在凤舞九天诀末尾已有记载。
With these words, he activated his Nine Heavens Divine Shield, which flew out and formed a red-blue light barrier before him. Then, he took out the Black Gold Dragon Armor.
nà diāo sù suǒ yòng de cái yì , bìng fēi pǔ tōng shí tou , ér shì jiā rù le yī zhǒng hǎn jiàn de ruǎn yù zài qí zhōng , gù ér kě yǐ zì yóu huó dòng 。
那雕塑所用的材绎,并非普通石头,而是加入了一种罕见的软玉在其中,故而可以自由活动。
After using several powerful treasures, Lin Xuan transformed into a streak of light and entered the rift.
It's often said that when you search for something with great effort, it turns out to be right under your nose. And indeed, Lin Xuan found some peculiarities in the memory of this demon wolf. Even though these were mentioned by the妖族 in their form, they weren't noted on the map.
He wasn’t sure if the map was incomplete or if the demon had intentionally omitted them. Regardless, he didn’t delve too deeply into the reasons; after all, the map had already brought him tangible benefits worth more than tens of thousands of crystal stones and rare materials. Lin Xuan felt quite satisfied with this.
According to their proximity, he began exploring these suspicious locations one by one. He had already visited a forest and a lake before.
To his surprise, he did find some traces of ancient cultivators in the forest and at the lake, but nothing else.
Looking at the small hill in front of him, Lin Xuan sighed. This wasn’t the last suspicious location; however, the remaining two were only about tens of miles from the eyesore’s lair. If the teleportation array was indeed there, it would be difficult to leave without being noticed.
Shaking his head, he put this aside for now and hoped that the gods would favor him enough for the array to be hidden in this hill.
With a deep breath, Lin Xuan released his divine sense, covering an area of over a hundred miles. He only found some low-grade demon tribes, but he was no longer careless after the last lesson. He scanned several times before opening his eyes slowly.
Reaching out, he summoned several array flags from his storage bracelet and pointed at one with a greenish-black array pattern. The flag transformed into a beam of light, slicing through the ground. A vast mountain peak was reduced to rubble in an instant.
But there was nothing. Lin Xuan’s face showed a hint of contemplation as he suddenly reached out and pulled from his waist a yellowish-brown talisman. Without any wind, it ignited and enveloped him in a pale yellow light.
He then moved to the spot where the mountain once stood, sinking into the ground at its center.
Though not particularly skilled with earth magic, Lin Xuan used an earth-transcending talisman for this purpose.
The darkness below was pitch-black. As a cultivator, he wasn’t affected by it; his main tool was his divine sense.
At first, there were no results. But Lin Xuan didn’t rush. He descended several hundred meters before a hard stone blocked his path. The earth-transcending technique couldn’t penetrate through it, and the stone seemed to contain iron ore.
Lin Xuan’s eyes narrowed as he activated his Green Fire Sword. A sizzling sound echoed in his ears, and the deep black stone crumbled like tofu under his blade.
Suddenly, a wide opening appeared, revealing a milky white light. Lin Xuan couldn’t help but smile; it seemed he had found the right place. Without hesitation, he flew forward into a large cavern. After landing, he began to look around, examining the scene carefully.
The cavern was vast and elliptical in shape, with fist-sized night pearls embedded on its walls, emitting that milky white light.
But what caught Lin Xuan’s attention wasn’t these pearls; it was the teleportation array at the center of the cavern. The design was ancient, surrounded by five stone statues, each about human size.
Four males and one female, their forms lifelike, carved with divine craftsmanship.
"Master, could this be the Five Great Cultivators?" Moon’s voice echoed in his mind.
"It should be correct," Lin Xuan replied. "While I haven’t seen them myself, the descriptions in Tianxiu Immortal’s memory are quite similar to that of the former Xuanfeng Ancestor."
The statue on the left was a beautiful young girl, her appearance so exquisite it seemed almost alive despite being made of stone.
Lin Xuan’s heart raced as he remembered the final part of the Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens Technique. Without hesitation, he first paid his respects to the statues before walking toward the central teleportation array.
This place was so hidden that no one had ever ventured here for millions of years, ensuring its pristine condition. However, since it could break through space and time, it must be incredibly complex. Despite his deep study of the璇玑心得, Lin Xuan couldn’t decipher much now.
But he wasn’t discouraged; he would gradually learn more about arrays in the future. He scanned the array with his eyes, noticing a small groove where a crystal was supposed to be installed.
From his pocket, he took out a box and opened it to reveal a black stone the size of an egg. Dark magic energy emanated from it. This was an upper realm item, reputedly worth more than top-grade crystals.
Lin Xuan felt uneasy: could this infernal stone really activate the teleportation array?
He had no confidence in it. During his condensation process, he had used up a top-grade crystal to increase the temperature of the earth fire. Such treasures were rare and hard to find again on such a small island like妖灵岛.
With nothing left but desperation, Lin Xuan decided to give it a try. If this infernal stone failed, he didn’t know what to do next.
After securing the stone in place, Lin Xuan closed his eyes and began casting spells, emitting a dense demonic aura from his body...
Behind him, a colorful phoenix appeared as described in the Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens Technique.
Activating the array required only basic knowledge. Lin Xuan didn’t need to go through much trouble.
With a phoenix-like call echoing in his ears, the statue of the Xuanfeng Immortal’s eyes glowed with divine light. She raised her arms and began casting spells, creating a series of runes on the ground.
Lin Xuan felt no surprise; this was described at the end of the technique.
The material used for these statues wasn’t ordinary stone but rare soft jade, allowing them to move freely. The five demon cultivators each left part of their soul here, enabling them to sense descendants carrying on their legacy.
Xuanfeng Immortal looked at Lin Xuan and raised her arms like a butterfly, casting spells that created a series of runes in the air.
A whistling sound filled his ears as he felt some urgency. Could the array be activated?
As rune symbols began glowing on the ground, dark magic energy powered them, making the cave seem eerie.
Soon, several thick black snakes appeared and tore at the void... sizzling sounds echoed as space distorted around them. Lin Xuan’s expression became strange; this was different from what was described in the Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens Technique. Could it be due to using infernal stones?
Regardless, he didn’t care now. As the space distortion grew more intense, only tiny cracks appeared. This narrow gap wouldn’t allow him through.
Lin Xuan frowned and reached out with his left hand, pulling a long, ancient-looking halberd from his waist.
This was the spatial magic weapon.
He grasped it and poured all his magical energy into it. A layer of greenish-black light enveloped the halberd, with some silver threads mixed in.
It looked mysterious and ancient.
Lin Xuan swung the halberd fiercely downward...
As if tearing through fabric, a crescent-shaped blade appeared, slicing the distorted space.
Even with this top-grade treasure, Lin Xuan couldn’t break through the void. However, the area was already torn apart by the black snakes. This became the final straw.
The light expanded and contracted, breaking through the space.
A circular crack over ten feet wide appeared in his vision, revealing a dark abyss.
Lin Xuan’s face was a mix of worry and relief as he prepared to enter.
"Master, are you really going in?" Moon’s voice echoed with fear.
"I wouldn’t stay here," Lin Xuan said calmly. "I’ve finally opened this space rift; I don’t want to waste it."
With these words, he activated his Nine Heavens Divine Shield, which flew out and formed a red-blue light barrier before him. Then, he took out the Black Gold Dragon Armor.
After using several powerful treasures, Lin Xuan transformed into a streak of light and entered the rift.
