lín xuān sōng le kǒu qì ， ér wǔ yún ér de qiào liǎn ， gèng shì cāng bái wú bǐ ， duì yú shān wǎng è 、 xiǎo de níng dān qī
林轩松了口气，而武云儿的俏脸，更是苍白无比，对于山网阏、小的凝丹期
Lin Xuan heaved a sigh of relief, while Wu Yun'er's fair face turned even paler. For the young cultivator facing the mountain net and the small condensation core stage peril, this was truly an unforgettable terrifying experience.
xiū xiān zhě ， zhè shí zài shì lìng rén nán wàng de kě pà jīng lì 。
修仙者，这实在是令人难忘的可怕经历。
Fortunately, the final day劫 did not descend upon them. Lin Xuan glanced back; since they had left the range of the storm cloud, he naturally wouldn't waste time. His body emitted a bright green light as he rolled up Wu Yun'er and soared towards the horizon.
hǎo zài yǒu jīng yuán xiǎn 1 tiān jié zuì zhōng méi yǒu jiàng lín xià lái 。
好在有惊元险1天劫最终没有降临下来。
The surrounding mountains remained undisturbed, but this time there was no danger encountered—quite unusual indeed. However, Lin Xuan did not relax his vigilance; he released his immensely powerful divine sense outwards.
lín xuān huí tóu kàn le yī yǎn hòu miàn ， jì rán yǐ jīng zǒu chū le jié yún lǒng zhào de fàn wéi ， tā zì rán bú huì shǎ shǎ
林轩回头看了一眼后面，既然已经走出了劫云笼罩的范围，他自然不会傻傻
As time passed, the temperature rose steadily. The sparse low shrubs on the mountain had been scorched to a crisp, and the sky turned an eerie crimson hue.
de dān gē shí jiān ，；$ shēn qīng máng dà qǐ ， jiāng wǔ yún ér yī juàn ， pò kōng xiàng tiān jì fēi qù 。
的耽搁时间，；$身青芒大起，将武云儿一卷，破空像天际飞去。
At such temperatures, ordinary mortals would be unable to withstand it, but as a cultivator, Lin Xuan was naturally unconcerned. His protective spirit light remained cool, effectively shielding him from the searing heat.
sì zhōu yī jiù shì lián mián qǐ fú de qún shān ， jǐng sè méi yǒu duō dà gǎi biàn ， bù guò zhè yī cì què bìng wèi yù jiàn wēi
四周依旧是连绵起伏的群山，景色没有多大改变，不过这一次却并未遇见危
In just a short while—about a cup of tea's time—Lin Xuan had flown nearly a hundred miles.
xiǎn ， shùn lì de chū qí ， bù guò lín xuān zì rán bú huì fàng sōng jǐng tì ， jiāng qiáng dà yǐ jí de shén niàn quán bù fàng le chū qù 。
险，顺利得出奇，不过林轩自然不会放松警惕，将强大以极的神念全部放了出去。
The temperature here was even more alarming. The ground had turned fiery red and resembled molten rock. Dark crimson clouds swirled in the sky, accompanied by rumbling sounds like distant thunder.
suí zhe shí jiān de tuī yí ， qì wēn què yuè lái yuè rè ， yuán běn shān shàng jiù zhǐ yǒu yī xiē dī ǎi de guàn mù ， cǐ shí
随着时间的推移，气温却越来越热，原本山上就只有一些低矮的灌木，此时
"Uncle Senior—" Wu Yun'er's face paled as she involuntarily recalled their recent ordeal. Lin Xuan remained calm; although these clouds looked strange, they had nothing to do with the storm cloud. For low-ranking cultivators, this might be troublesome, but for his own divine abilities, it was something he could ignore.
cǐ s.1， gèng fǎng fú quán bù bèi kǎo jiāo le ， zhěng gè tiān kōng ， dōu méng shàng le yī céng guǐ yì de fēi hóng zhī sè 。
此s.1，更仿佛全部被烤焦了，整个天空，都蒙上了一层诡异的绯红之色。
Lin Xuan waved his sleeve and a streak of green light shot out, rapidly expanding into a white hurricane that pushed away the clouds.
zhè yàng de wēn dù ， yǐ zú yǐ ràng pǔ tōng fán rén dǐ dǎng bú zhù ， bù guò shēn wèi xiū xiān zhě ， lín xuān zì rán mǎn bù
这样的温度，已足以让普通凡人抵挡不住，不过身为修仙者，林轩自然满不
Continuing on his journey, Lin Xuan soon spotted a towering mountain peak in the distance. Although the surrounding mountains were rugged, this particular peak did not stand out much. However, Lin Xuan's face brightened; he had found what he was looking for.
zài hū ， hù tǐ líng guāng yī piàn qīng liáng ， zú yǐ jiāng zhōu wéi nà zhuó rè de gāo wēn dǐ dǎng 。
在乎，护体灵光一片清凉，足以将周围那灼热的高温抵挡。
Lin Xuan slowed down and stopped.
hěn kuài ， guò qù le yī zhǎn chá de gōng fu ， yǐ lín xuān shuò - dù ， fēi chū le jìn bǎi lǐ lù 。
很快，过去了一盏茶的功夫，以林轩妁-度，飞出了近百里路。
As they say,沧海桑田—though it had been countless millennia since the ancient cultivator faced his tribulation, the landscape here had completely changed. But the Ninefold Minor Heaven Tribulation was no small matter, so Lin Xuan could still find some clues here.
zhè lǐ de wēn dù gèng lìng rén jīng xīn chù rì 。
这里的温度更令人惊心触日。
That's right!
tǔ dì yǐ biàn chéng le huǒ hóng sè ， ér qiě yǒu diǎn lèi sì yú yán jiāng de róng róng zhuàng tài le ， fēi hóng sè de tiān kōng zhī
土地已变成了火红色，而且有点类似于岩浆的熔融状态了，绯红色的天空之
Lin Xuan closed his eyes and released his divine sense to search meticulously in the vicinity.
zhōng ， gèng duō chū le yī dà piàn de àn hóng sè yún cǎi ， bù tíng fān yǒng ， yǐn yǐn yǒu léi míng bān de hōng míng shēng chuán kāi 。
中，更多出了一大片的暗红色云彩，不停翻涌，隐隐有雷鸣般的轰鸣声传开。
"Master, what exactly are you looking for? Since the senior failed the tribulation, shouldn't all the treasures have been destroyed?" Mo'er's curious voice entered his ears.
“ shī bó yī yī yī yī yī yī ”
“师伯一一一一一一”
"It’s not certain. Although this ancient cultivator would use all their abilities against a tribulation, it doesn’t mean everything was destroyed." Lin Xuan shook his head. "Based on my speculation, at most ten percent might be lost, so some should remain. Besides, even if they were completely destroyed, these are treasures from the Separation and Union stage—residual fragments would still have great value."
wǔ yún ér qiào liǎn biàn sè ， bù yóu de yòu lián xiǎng dào gāng gāng de jīng lì shàng le ， lín xuān zì rán yào lěng jìng dé duō ，
武云儿俏脸变色，不由得又联想到刚刚的经历上了，林轩自然要冷静得多，
"Ah!" Mo'er nodded, thinking it over; Master had a point. Not all treasures were suitable for tribulation. Some powerful artifacts might be useless against a heavenly tribulation, making them more likely to remain intact.
zhè yún cǎi suī rán kàn shàng qù yǒu xiē guǐ yì ， dàn yǔ jié yún què sī háo chě bù shàng guān xì ， duì yú dī jiē xiū shì ， huò xǔ
这云彩虽然看上去有些诡异，但与劫云却丝毫扯不上关系，对于低阶修士，或许
Though the young girl was still uncertain, she didn't dare disturb Master at this moment.
suàn gè má fán ， dàn xiāng duì zì jǐ de shén tōng ér yán ， zé wán quán kě yǐ shì ér bù jiàn 。
算个麻烦，但相对自己的神通而言，则完全可以视而不见。
Lin Xuan concentrated his divine sense and searched meticulously within a radius of over ten miles—both artifacts and fragments should be scattered here.
lín xuān xiù páo yī fú ， yī piàn qīng xiá fēi lüè ér chū ， xū de yī xià kuáng zhǎng qǐ lái ， huà wèi yī gǔ bái méng méng jù
林轩袖袍一拂，一片青霞飞掠而出，吁的一下狂涨起来，化为一股白蒙蒙飓
After a short while, Lin Xuan's face brightened. He shook his sleeve, releasing dozens of green sword qi that grew to several feet in length and slashed forward.
fēng ， jiāng nà xiē yún cǎi yuǎn yuǎn chuī kāi 。
风，将那些云彩远远吹开。
The hard rock crumbled like tofu under the sword qi, followed by the deep red soil. This was similar to clearing out a cave but much easier.
lín xuān jì xù gǎn lù 。
林轩继续赶路。
Soon, a large hole was carved into the mountain waist.
yòu fēi piàn kè ， yī zuò tǐng bá de shān fēng chū xiàn zài le shì xiàn zhōng 。
又飞片刻，一座挺拔的山峰出现在了视线中。
Wu Yun'er watched curiously; her divine sense couldn't detect any treasures hidden within the mountain.
yuán běn sì zhōu shān mài lián mián qǐ fú ， zhè zuò shān fēng bìng suàn bù shàng qǐ yǎn ， rán ér lín xuān liǎn shàng què lù chū yī sī
原本四周山脉连绵起伏，这座山峰并算不上起眼，然而林轩脸上却露出一丝
After some time, a glimmer of light entered Lin Xuan's sight, and his face brightened. He shook his sleeve again, and those green sword qi vanished without a trace.
xǐ sè ， zhè jiù shì zì jǐ xiǎng yào xún zhǎo de dì fāng le 。
喜色，这就是自己想要寻找的地方了。
Then, he raised another hand, forming a claw in mid-air and gently grabbed at the newly carved cave.
lín xuān dùn guāng yī huǎn ， tíng dǎo xià lái 。
林轩遁光一缓，停导下来。
Green spirit light emerged, coalescing into a monstrous claw several feet long, which plunged into the mountain hole.
sú huà shuō ， cāng hǎi sāng tián ， suī rán jù lí nà wèi gǔ xiū shì dù jié yǐ jīng guò qù le bù zhī duō shǎo wàn nián ， zhè
俗话说，沧海桑田，虽然距离那位古修士渡劫已经过去了不知多少万年，这
Puff! Puff! Puff!
lǐ de dì mào zǎo yǐ wán quán tài biàn ， dàn sān jiǔ xiǎo tiān jié fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， lín xuān zài zhè lǐ yī jiù néng gòu zhǎo dào yī xiē
里的地貌早已完全酞变，但三九小天劫非同小可，林轩在这里依旧能够找到一些
Fragments of stone fell like rain. Through his divine sense, Lin Xuan clearly felt he had grasped something, but it was struggling to break free from the giant claw.
xiàn suǒ 。
线索。
Lin Xuan was not alarmed; so many years later, the spirit remained intact—certainly a non-trivial treasure.
yīng gāi jiù shì ∽ méi cuò ！
应该就是∽没错！
He wouldn't let the sword escape. With both hands, he injected more magical power and then the green light flashed as the giant claw retracted.
lín xuān bì shàng shuāng móu ， jiāng shén shí fàng chū ， kāi shǐ zài fù jìn xì xì sōu suǒ 。
林轩闭上双眸，将神识放出，开始在附近细细搜索。
What he held was a broken sword, with only a few inches of blade remaining. The remnants of the blade were covered in fine cracks, giving the impression it could break at any moment.
“ shào yé ， nín jiū jìng xiǎng yào xún zhǎo shén me ， nà wèi qián bèi jì rán dù jié shī bài ， bǎo wù yīng gāi
“少爷，您究竟想要寻找什么，那位前辈既然渡劫失败，宝物应该
Yet, this unassuming broken sword proved difficult to contain, especially without its master.
huǐ le ， bú huì liú xià shén me 。“ yuè ér yǒu xiē hào qí de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
毁了，不会留下什么。“月儿有些好奇的声音传入耳朵。
It was hard to imagine how formidable this sword must have been when fully intact, driven by an ancient Separation and Union stage monster.
“ zhè kě bù yí dìng ， suī rán miàn duì tiān jié ， zhè wèi gǔ xiū qián bèi yí dìng huì shén tōng jǐn chū ， dàn bǎo wù yě bù
“这可不一定，虽然面对天劫，这位古修前辈一定会神通尽出，但宝物也不
Lin Xuan's gaze was completely drawn to this treasure. He summoned the monstrous claw, which transformed into a streak of green light enveloping the broken sword before landing in his palm.
yí dìng quán dōu huǐ le 。” lín xuān yáo le yáo tóu ：“ jù wǒ tuī cè ， zuì duō yě jiù huǐ qù shí zhī **， duō shǎo huì
一定全都毁了。”林轩摇了摇头：“据我推测，最多也就毁去十之**，多少会
Holding the broken sword, Lin Xuan felt its spirit tenaciously trying to break free from his grasp. Lin Xuan wouldn't let it succeed; he took a deep breath and finally managed to calm its agitation.
liú xià jǐ jiàn lái de ， hé kuàng ， jiù suàn zhēn de quán huǐ le ， nà kě shì lí hé qī xiū shì de bǎo wù ， jí biàn jǐn shèng xià
留下几件来的，何况，就算真的全毁了，那可是离合期修士的宝物，即便仅剩下
Lin Xuan examined the sword closely. Despite his extensive experience, he couldn't determine what material this sword was made of—no clues at all.
cán piàn ， yě huì dà yǒu yòng tú 。”
残片，也会大有用途。”
"Mo'er, do you recognize it?"
“ ó ！” yuè ér diǎn le diǎn tóu ， zǐ xì xiǎng xiǎng ， shào yé shuō dé yě yǒu dào lǐ ， bìng fēi měi yī zhǒng bǎo wù ，
“哦！”月儿点了点头，仔细想想，少爷说得也有道理，并非每一种宝物，
"I'm sorry, Master, I don’t know either," Mo'er shook her head. This material was very peculiar; even hearing about it was rare.
dōu shì hé yòng lái dù jié ， yǒu xiē fǎ bǎo ， suī rán gàn shí wēi lì fēi xiǎo ， dàn miàn duì yāo jié de shí hòu ， què méi yǒu bàn
都适合用来渡劫，有些法宝，虽然干时威力非小，但面对夭劫的时候，却没有半
Lin Xuan extended a finger and touched the blade, producing an ancient sound. Despite its cracked surface, this treasure remained extremely hard.
diǎn yòng tú ， zhè zhǒng bǎo wù jiù dà yǒu kě néng ， wán hǎo wú sǔn 。
点用途，这种宝物就大有可能，完好无损。
Even though Lin Xuan hadn't tested it himself, he felt that even Qinghu Sword or Nine Heavens Bright Moon Ring would struggle to sever such a broken sword.
xiǎo yā tou suī rán xīn zhōng hái yǒu xiē yí huò ， dàn zhè shí hòu ， yě bù hǎo jì xù kāi kǒu dǎ rǎo shào yé
小丫头虽然心中还有些疑惑，但这时候，也不好继续开口打扰少爷
What kind of treasure was this?
le 。
了。
Lin Xuan was deeply puzzled. While he had never seen the abilities of Separation and Union stage cultivators, his own innate treasures should not be so extraordinary.
lín xuān zé jiāng shén niàn jí zhōng ， jiù zài zhè fāng yuán shí shé lǐ xì xì sōu suǒ ， bù guǎn shì fǎ bǎo hái shì cán piàn ， yīng
林轩则将神念集中，就在这方圆十佘里细细搜索，不管是法宝还是残片，应
How could one describe this? It didn't seem like an ordinary artifact at all.
Lin Xuan heaved a sigh of relief, while Wu Yun'er's fair face turned even paler. For the young cultivator facing the mountain net and the small condensation core stage peril, this was truly an unforgettable terrifying experience.
Fortunately, the final day劫 did not descend upon them. Lin Xuan glanced back; since they had left the range of the storm cloud, he naturally wouldn't waste time. His body emitted a bright green light as he rolled up Wu Yun'er and soared towards the horizon.
