tián xiǎo jiàn de liǎn shàng xiàn chū níng zhòng zhī sè ， kǒu zhōng niàn niàn yǒu cí ， yī dào fǎ jué dǎ le chū qù 。
田小剑的脸上现出凝重之色，口中念念有词，一道法诀打了出去。
Field Xiao Jian's face showed a serious expression as he muttered under his breath, sending out a spell.
dài kǒu zhāng kāi ， wú shù de guǐ wù mí màn chū lái ， yí gè rén yǐng zài lǐ miàn ruò yǐn ruò xiàn 。
袋口张开，无数的鬼雾弥漫出来，一个人影在里面若隐若现。
The bag opened, and countless ghostly mists spread out. A figure could be vaguely seen inside.
jìng rán yòu shì yí gè tián xiǎo jiàn 。
竟然又是一个田小剑。
It was another Field Xiao Jian.
bù lùn wǔ guān hái shì shēn cái ， dōu fēn háo bù chā ， lián qì zhì dōu shì yī mú yī yàng a ！
不论五官还是身材，都分毫不差，连气质都是一模一样啊！
Not only did the features match perfectly, but even their aura was identical!
bù guò tā de shuāng yǎn què àn dàn wú guāng ， jiù fǎng fú huó sǐ rén yī yàng 。
不过他的双眼却黯淡无光，就仿佛活死人一样。
However, his eyes were dim and lifeless, like a living corpse.
tián xiǎo jiàn tàn le kǒu qì ， shēn shǒu zài tóu dǐng yī mō ， yí gè guāng tuán jiù fú xiàn chū lái le 。
田小剑叹了口气，伸手在头顶一摸，一个光团就浮现出来了。
Field Xiao Jian sighed, reaching up to touch his head. A light ball appeared before him.
cǐ guāng tuán zhí jìng jǐn yǒu cùn xǔ zuǒ yòu ， lǐ miàn yǐn yǐn yǒu yí gè xiǎo rén ， wǔ guān méi shāo ， zhèng shì tián xiǎo jiàn de mú yàng 。
此光团直径仅有寸许左右，里面隐隐有一个小人，五官眉梢，正是田小剑的模样。
This light ball had a diameter of about an inch, with a small figure inside, resembling Field Xiao Jian's features.
dì èr yuán shén ！
第二元神！
Second Second Soul!
jí è mó zūn dāng nián jiù jīng tōng cǐ shù ， tián xiǎo jiàn zuò wèi tā de ài tú ， zì rán yě xiū xí guò zhǒng mì fǎ de 。
极恶魔尊当年就精通此术，田小剑做为他的爱徒，自然也修习过种秘法的。
Back when the Great Demon Sovereign was alive, he was proficient in this technique. As his beloved disciple, Field Xiao Jian naturally practiced it too.
wēi lì bú yòng shuō ， suī rán bù jí dì èr yuán yīng ， dàn yě xuán ào yì cháng 。
威力不用说，虽然不及第二元婴，但也玄奥异常。
The power of this technique did not need to be said; although inferior to a second soul embryo, it was still incredibly profound and mysterious.
ér wèi tā zhǔn bèi de zhè mó shī ròu shēn ， yě pǒ fèi le yī fān sī liáng ， yuán běn tián xiǎo jiàn dǎ suàn děng dì èr yuán shén dà chéng yǐ hòu ， zài yǔ mó shī róng hé ， liàn zhì chéng shēn wài huà shēn 。
而为他准备的这魔尸肉身，也颇费了一番思量，原本田小剑打算等第二元神大成以后，再与魔尸融合，炼制成身外化身。
And the corpse body prepared for him had also been carefully considered. Originally, Field Xiao Jian planned to merge with the corpse body after his Second Soul matured, refining it into an external manifestation.
rán ér xiàn zài zì rán gù bù dé zhè xǔ duō 。
然而现在自然顾不得这许多。
However, he could no longer wait now.
xiù páo yī fú ， nà guāng tuán yǐ cóng lìng yí gè tián xiǎo jiàn de tóu dǐng mò rù 。
袖袍一拂，那光团已从另一个田小剑的头顶没入。
With a wave of his sleeve, that light ball vanished from above the other Field Xiao Jian's head.
suí hòu zhè jù huà shēn de yǎn shén biàn dé líng dòng qǐ lái le 。
随后这具化身的眼神变得灵动起来了。
Then, this incarnation's gaze became more lively.
tián xiǎo jiàn shēn chū shǒu lái ， zài yāo jiān yī pāi ， yī zhāng yín càn càn de fú lí qǔ le chū lái ， wǎng nà mó shī shēn shàng yī pāi 。
田小剑伸出手来，在腰间一拍，一张银灿灿的符黧取了出来，往那魔尸身上一拍。
Field Xiao Jian reached out and patted his waist. A silver talisman appeared, which he pressed onto the corpse body.
nà mó shī de qì xī dùn shí kuáng zhǎng qǐ lái ， ér tián xiǎo jiàn zì jǐ de qì xī fǎn ér yuè lái yuè ruò ， suī rán bù jí lín xuān de liǎn qì shù ， dàn yě pǒ wèi xuán miào le 。
那魔尸的气息顿时狂涨起来，而田小剑自己的气息反而越来越弱，虽然不及林轩的敛气术，但也颇为玄妙了。
The corpse body's aura immediately surged, while Field Xiao Jian's own aura remained unchanged. He extended a hand to grab it.
“ qù ！”
“去！”
A green light flashed as a thick layer of green energy enveloped his right hand, seizing that silver talisman. The creature struggled fiercely, and a hint of rage appeared on Field Xiao Jian's face before he tightened his grip. A faint rumble could be heard in his ears, and the silver light finally stopped moving.
tián xiǎo jiàn yì diǎn zhǐ ， nà mó shī huà shēn bèi yī céng hēi máng bāo guǒ ， pò kōng xiàng tiān jì fēi qù ér tián xiǎo jiàn zì jǐ ， zé shēn xíng yī zhuǎn ， fēi xiàng le zuǒ shǒu biān 。
田小剑一点指，那魔尸化身被一层黑芒包裹，破空像天际飞去而田小剑自己，则身形一转，飞向了左手边。
The broken sword appeared before him.
yǒu le zhè jù huà shēn xiāng zhù ， yīng gāi néng gòu wèi zì jǐ zhēng qǔ dào xiē xǔ shí jiān ， bì xū qǐ kuài zhǎo dào chū kǒu ， fǒu zé zhè yī huí huán zhēn de shì jí xiōng nán kē 。
有了这具化身相助，应该能够为自己争取到些许时间，必须起快找到出口，否则这一回还真的是吉凶难科。
Field Xiao Jian had taken it out for a reason.
tián xiǎo jiàn bù xī xuè běn ， shě qù le mó shī yǔ dì èr yuán shén ， què shí qǐ dào le yù xiǎng de xiào shù shí lǐ wài ， hēi guāng yī shǎn ， nà yuán yīng hòu qī de yāo mó zài xū kōng zhōng fú xiàn chū lái 。
田小剑不惜血本，舍去了魔尸与第二元神，确实起到了预想的效数十里外，黑光一闪，那元婴后期的妖魔在虚空中浮现出来。
It was likely that this creature was the guardian spirit of an ancient cultivator from the Separation Stage, although times had changed, he should still have some memory of the master's treasures.
tā de yǎn zhōng lù chū jǐ fēn mí huò ， jiāng qiáng dà yǐ jí de shén niàn fàng chū 。
他的眼中露出几分迷惑，将强大以极的神念放出。
Indeed, upon seeing the sword, the armadillo-like figure froze, showing signs of deep thought on its face.
shǎo qǐng zhī hòu ， yī shēng cháng xiào ， shēn xíng yī huǎng ， yòu shī zhǎn suō dì shén tōng ， chū xiàn zài bǎi yú ér tā zhuī de fāng xiàng ， zhèng shì mó shī dùn zǒu zhī chù ……
少顷之后，一声长啸，身形一晃，又施展缩地神通，出现在百余而他追的方向，正是魔尸遁走之处……
Useful!
yuǎn chù ， tián xiǎo jiàn zì rán yě gǎn yìng dào le zhè yī qiè ， xīn zhōng yī xǐ ， què zài yuán dì tíng le xià lái ， zhè yàng rú méi tóu cāng jiàn bān luàn fēi ， néng yǒu duō dà yòng tú ， tā bì xū jǐn kuài xiǎng chū qiè shí yǒu xiào de tuō shēn zhī cè 。
远处，田小剑自然也感应到了这一切，心中一喜，却在原地停了下来，这样如没头苍贱般乱飞，能有多大用途，他必须尽快想出切实有效的脱身之策。
Field Xiao Jian was delighted and immediately poured his cultivation force into the broken sword.
ér lìng yī biān ， lín xuān tóng yàng shuāng méi jǐn suǒ 。
而另一边，林轩同样双眉紧锁。
Of course, this treasure was no ordinary item. Field Xiao Jian did not have enough strength to control it now, but forcibly driving his cultivation force would at least allow him to project some aura.
yào shōu fú yī shǎ guā yāo zú shí zài shì bìng bù róng yì de ， duì fāng de sī xiǎng wú cóng zhuō mō ， xīn jī duì tā wán quán méi yǒu yòng chǔ 。
要收服一傻瓜妖族实在是并不容易的，对方的思想无从捉摸，心机对他完全没有用处。
A faint humming sound filled his ears as the sword's surface emitted a shimmering light. The creature trembled and showed signs of fear.
lín xuān yǐ cháng shì le duō zhǒng fāng fǎ ， dōu bú jiàn bàn diǎn xiào guǒ 。
林轩已尝试了多种方法，都不见半点效果。
This result was even better than he had anticipated.
piān piān duì fāng de xiū wèi gāo dé lí pǔ ， yòu bù néng dòng cū ， fǒu zé jiāng kǔn ； zhì fú zài qiáng xíng qiān dìng qì yuē jiù kě yǐ le 。
偏偏对方的修为高得离谱，又不能动粗，否则将悃；制伏再强行签订契约就可以了。
It seemed that although this creature had advanced to its late Transmutation Stage, it still harbored fear for its former master. Of course, this was due to the spirit intelligence not being fully awakened; otherwise, how could it be afraid of a mere inanimate object?
gāi zěn me bàn ne ？
该怎么办呢？
Field Xiao Jian cautiously walked forward.
lín xuān yī chóu mò zhǎn ， zhǐ néng zhàn zài yuán dì dāi 。
林轩一筹莫展，只能站在原地呆。
This time, the armadillo did not attack but instead followed Field Xiao Jian's approach with increasing fear on its face.
tū rán ， lín xuān nǎo hǎi zhōng líng guāng yī shǎn ， yí gè niàn tou yǒng xiàn 。
突然，林轩脑海中灵光一闪，一个念头涌现。
When they were only about a dozen feet apart, he suddenly shouted and crouched down, holding his head. Perhaps this creature had once suffered from this sword before; otherwise, it should not be so afraid of such an item even if it was the master's treasure.
zhè ge fāng fǎ bù zhī dào yǒu méi yǒu yòng chǔ ， bù guò què dà kě yī shì de 。
这个方法不知道有没有用处，不过却大可一试的。
Field Xiao Jian thought to himself but did not miss this opportunity. With a wave of his sleeve, a swarm of ghostly mists rushed out and enveloped the creature.
lín xuān shēn chū shǒu lái ， zài chǔ wù dài shàng yī pāi ， yí gè chǐ xǔ zhǎng de hé zi fú xiàn yú yǎn qián 。
林轩伸出手来，在储物袋上一拍，一个尺许长的盒子浮现于眼前。
The creature instinctively tried to struggle, but Field Xiao Jian turned pale. His late Transmutation Stage strength was no joke, but he had a trump card: he handed the broken sword in front of it.
hé zi de shàng miàn ， hái tiē yǒu jǐ zhāng jìn zhì fú lí 。
盒子的上面，还贴有几张禁制符黧。
The armadillo trembled again, becoming docile. Seizing this moment, Field Xiao Jian continuously changed his spells with his left hand while muttering incantations under his breath. The ghostly mists flashed and entered the creature's body.
lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū níng zhòng zhī sè ， tái qǐ yòu shǒu ， yī dào qīng xiá fēi chū yī xiù ， yī juàn yī shōu ， jiù jiāng nà xiē fú lí qǔ xià lái le 。
林轩脸上露出凝重之色，抬起右手，一道青霞飞出衣袖，一卷一收，就将那些符黧取下来了。
Field Xiao Jian breathed a sigh of relief, sealed the broken sword in another box, and put it back in his storage bag.
pā de yī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， hé gài zì jǐ dǎ kāi ， yī líng hēi máng cóng lǐ miàn fēi lüè chū lái ， bù guò lín xuān liǎn shàng què háo wú jīng yà zhī sè ， zǎo yǒu zhǔn bèi de shēn shǒu yī zhuā 。
啪的一声传入耳朵，盒盖自己打开，一绫黑芒从里面飞掠出来，不过林轩脸上却毫无惊讶之色，早有准备的伸手一抓。
"Master, is everything done?"
qīng guāng shǎn shuò ， tā de yòu shǒu bèi yī céng hòu hòu de yàn guāng bāo guǒ ， jiāng nà líng hēi máng zhuā zài le zhǎng duì fāng yī jiù zhēng zhá bù xiū ， lín xuān liǎn shàng yǒu lì qì shǎn guò ， hěn hěn yī wò ， yǐn yǐn yǒu léi míng zhī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， hēi máng zhōng yú bù dòng le 。
青光闪烁，他的右手被一层厚厚的晏光包裹，将那绫黑芒抓在了掌对方依旧挣扎不休，林轩脸上有戾气闪过，狠狠一握，隐隐有雷鸣之声传入耳朵，黑芒终于不动了。
"Yes, I've already cast the spirit suppression technique on him."
nà bǐng duàn jiàn chū xiàn yú yǎn qián 。
那柄断剑出现于眼前。
"What? Spirit Suppression Technique?" Yue Er was stunned. Her expression turned tense again: "Master, did you just say that? The spirit suppression technique does have a wide range of uses and good effects, but this creature is in its late Transmutation Stage; what effect can such a restriction have?"
lín xuān jiāng qí qǔ chū zì rán shì yǒu kǎo liáng de 。
林轩将其取出自然是有考量的。
"Don't worry, I've thought about it. He's at his late Transmutation Stage, but remember, his spirit intelligence hasn't fully awakened yet. It will only fight based on instinct. In this situation, do you think he can break free from the spirit suppression technique?" Field Xiao Jian smiled, appearing confident.
duì fāng shí yǒu ** shì nà wèi lí hé qī gǔ xiū shì de hù shān líng shòu ， suī rán cāng hǎi sāng tián ， shì shì biàn qiān ， dàn duì yú zhǔ rén de fǎ bǎo ， tā duō shǎo yīng gāi huì yǒu yìn xiàng 。
对方十有**是那位离合期古修士的护山灵兽，虽然沧海桑田，世事变迁，但对于主人的法宝，他多少应该会有印象。
"…But why not use a more powerful restriction? That would be safer."
guǒ rán ， kàn jiàn cǐ jiàn zhī hòu ， nà chuān shān jiǎ suǒ huà de guài rén yī dāi ， liǎn shàng lù chū ruò yǒu suǒ sī de biǎo qíng lái 。
果然，看见此剑之后，那穿山甲所化的怪人一呆，脸上露出若有所思的表情来。
"A more powerful restriction could trigger stronger backlash." Field Xiao Jian chuckled: "Rest assured, I know what I'm doing. For this creature, the spirit suppression technique is sufficient."
yǒu yòng ！
有用！
After saying that, he reached out and took an elixir bottle from his storage bag.
lín xuān xīn zhōng dà xǐ ， máng jiāng fǎ lì wǎng duàn jiàn zhōng kuáng zhù jìn qù 。
林轩心中大喜，忙将法力往断剑中狂注进去。
Opening the lid, a fragrant aroma filled the air.
dāng rán ， cǐ bǎo fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， lín xuān xiàn zài kě méi yǒu shí lì cāo kòng ， bù guò qiáng xíng yòng fǎ lì qū shǐ ， zhì shǎo kě yǐ ràng kǔn ； sàn chū bù shǎo qì shì 。
当然，此宝非同小可，林轩现在可没有实力操控，不过强行用法力驱使，至少可以让悃；散出不少气势。
"What's this?" Yue Er sniffed, her expression strange.
wū wū de wēng míng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， duàn jiàn biǎo miàn líng máng shǎn shuò ， nà guài rén hún shēn dǒu ， jìng rán lù chū le hài pà zhī sè 。
呜呜的嗡鸣传入耳朵，断剑表面灵芒闪烁，那怪人浑身抖，竟然露出了害怕之色。
Field Xiao Jian casually handed the elixir bottle to the armadillo.
zhè zhǒng jié guǒ kě bǐ zì jǐ yù liào de hái yào hǎo dé duō 。
这种结果可比自己预料的还要好得多。
This was a Fragrant Grass Pill. It could increase the cultivation force of Foundation Establishment cultivators. For Field Xiao Jian now, it was insignificant, but its taste was extraordinary.
kàn lái duì fāng suī rán jìn jí dào le huà xíng hòu qī ， yī rán duì xī rì de zhǔ rén bǎo chí zhe wèi jù ， dāng rán ， zhè yě shì yóu yú kǔn ； de líng zhì shàng wèi kāi qǐ ， fǒu zé qǐ huì hài pà qū qū yī jiàn sǐ wù 。
看来对方虽然晋级到了化形后期，依然对昔日的主人保持着畏惧，当然，这也是由于悃；的灵智尚未开启，否则岂会害怕区区一件死物。
Although he had already cast the spirit suppression technique, Field Xiao Jian still planned to give the creature some benefits to make control easier.
lín xuān shì tàn zhe zǒu guò qù le 。
林轩试探着走过去了。
Sure enough, after eating the pill, the armadillo danced with joy and laughed at him.
zhè yī huí chuān shān jiǎ méi gǎn gōng jī ， fǎn ér suí zhe lín xuān de jiē jìn liǎn shàng lù chū le yuè lái yuè hài yǎn kàn liǎng rén xiāng jù bù guò zhàng xǔ ， tā tū rán dà jiào yī shēng dūn xià le shēn qù ， yǐ xún bào tóu ， mò fēi zhè jiā huo yǐ qián céng jīng chī guò cǐ jiàn de kǔ tóu ， fǒu zé jiù suàn shì kǔn ； de bǎo wù yě bù gāi hài pà dào zhè zhǒng chéng dù 。
这一回穿山甲没敢攻击，反而随着林轩的接近脸上露出了越来越害眼看两人相距不过丈许，他突然大叫一声蹲下了身去，以寻抱头，莫非这家伙以前曾经吃过此剑的苦头，否则就算是悃；的宝物也不该害怕到这种程度。
"Guard the entrance."
lín xuān àn àn xiǎng zhe ， bù guò yǎn qián de jī huì tā zì rán bú huì cuò guò ， xiù páo yī fú dà piàn de guǐ wù fēng yōng ér chū ， hū de yī xià jiāng nà guài rén bāo guǒ 。
林轩暗暗想着，不过眼前的机会他自然不会错过，袖袍一拂大片的鬼雾蜂拥而出，呼的一下将那怪人包裹。
Field Xiao Jian issued a command through his mental projection. Then, he led the two women into the cave.
duì fāng běn néng de xiǎng yào zhēng zhá ， lín xuān liǎn sè yī bái ， huà xíng hòu qī de shí lì kě bú shì chuī xū ， bù guò tā zì yǒu shā shǒu gāng ， jiāng nà bǐng duàn jiàn dì dào le duì fāng de yǎn qián 。
对方本能的想要挣扎，林轩脸色一白，化形后期的实力可不是吹嘘，不过他自有杀手钢，将那柄断剑递到了对方的眼前。
On the other side, Field Xiao Jian's flight slowed as he stopped. There was no more path ahead; this was the end of the independent space.
chuān shān jiǎ sè sè dǒu ， chóng xīn biàn dé wēn xùn qǐ lái ， chèn zhe zhè ge shí jiān ， lín xuān zuǒ shǒu bù tíng biàn huàn fǎ jué ， kǒu zhōng de zhòu yǔ nán nán tǔ chū ， nà xiē guǐ wù yī shǎn ， huà wèi jǐ gè shén mì xíng wén mò rù le duì fāng de shēn tǐ lǐ miàn 。
穿山甲瑟瑟抖，重新变得温驯起来，趁着这个时间，林轩左手不停变幻法诀，口中的咒语喃喃吐出，那些鬼雾一闪，化为几个神秘行文没入了对方的身体里面。
But how to get out remained unclear.
lín xuān sōng le kǒu qì ， chóng xīn qǔ chū yí gè hé zi jiāng duàn jiàn fēng yìn qǐ lái ， zhuāng rù chǔ wù dài 。
林轩松了口气，重新取出一个盒子将断剑封印起来，装入储物袋。
Field Xiao Jian scratched his head, showing a thoughtful expression on his face. However, there was no extra time for him to think now. The message from his Second Soul indicated that in at most half an hour, he would be caught by the demon.
“ shào yé ， hǎo le ？”
“少爷，好了？”
The spirit puppet was only at the Condensation Stage and had used secret techniques to run so fast, but it was now at its limits. It would not stand a chance against the demon even if pursued further.
“ ń ， wǒ yǐ jīng duì tā xià le jìn shén shù 。”
“嗯，我已经对他下了禁神术。”
Time was running out for him.
“ shén me ， jìn shén shù ？” yuè ér yī dāi ， shén sè què yòu chóng xīn jǐn zhāng qǐ lái ：“ shào yé ， wǒ méi tīng lǚ ba ， jìn shén shù què shí yǒu hěn guǎng de yòng tú ， xiào guǒ yě bù cuò ， dàn zhè jiā huo kě shì huà xíng hòu qī ， nà zhǒng jìn zhì néng yǒu shén me xiào guǒ ？”
“什么，禁神术？”月儿一呆，神色却又重新紧张起来：“少爷，我没听铝吧，禁神术确实有很广的用途，效果也不错，但这家伙可是化形后期，那种禁制能有什么效果？”
Field Xiao Jian took out a talisman from his pocket with some reluctance.
“ fàng xīn ， zhè wèn tí wǒ zǎo jiù kǎo lǜ guò ， duì fāng shì huà xíng hòu qī ， dàn bié wàng le shùn de líng zhì bìng méi yǒu shùn lì kāi qǐ ， zhǐ huì píng běn néng zhàn dòu ér yǐ ， zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng xià ； yǐ wéi kǔn ； néng jiě tuō jìn shén shù ？” lín xuān wēi xiào zhe kāi kǒu le ， xiǎn de xiōng yǒu chéng zhú 。
“放心，这问题我早就考虑过，对方是化形后期，但别忘了顺的灵智并没有顺利开启，只会凭本能战斗而已，这种情况下；以为悃；能解脱禁神术？”林轩微笑着开口了，显得胸有成竹。
This trip to Cloud Ridge Mountain had yielded no results, and he had used up many of his hard-earned treasures over the years. But there were no other choices now.
， zhè ……” yuè ér xiǎng le xiǎng ） shào yé shuō dé shì yǒu dào lǐ ：“ kě nín wèi hé bù nòng yī lì hài de jìn zhì ， nà yàng gèng jiā zhì tuǒ yī xiē ？”
，这……”月儿想了想）少爷说得是有道理：“可您为何不弄一厉害的禁制，那样更加秩妥一些？”
It was a green talisman that looked unremarkable and even slightly broken, missing a corner at the bottom left.
“ lì hài jìn zhì ， yě róng yì yǐn qǐ gèng qiáng de fǎn shì 。” lín xuān xiào le xiào ：“ fàng xīn ， shào yé wǒ xīn zhōng yǒu shù ， duì yú zhè jiā huo ， jìn shén shù jiù zú gòu le 。”
“厉害禁制，也容易引起更强的反噬。”林轩笑了笑：“放心，少爷我心中有数，对于这家伙，禁神术就足够了。”
However, Field Xiao Jian was very reluctant to use it.
shuō wán yǐ hòu ， lín xuān shēn chū shǒu lái ， zài chǔ wù dài shàng yī pāi ， cóng lǐ miàn qǔ chū yí gè yù píng lái 。
说完以后，林轩伸出手来，在储物袋上一拍，从里面取出一个玉瓶来。
This was an ancient boundary-breaking talisman, whose crafting method had long been lost. Even if it was a substandard item, it still had value in the market. He had spent much effort obtaining this item.
píng sāi dǎ kāi ， qìn rén xīn pí de xiāng wèi piāo rù bí duān 。
瓶塞打开，沁人心脾的香味飘入鼻端。
A boundary-breaking talisman, as its name suggested, possessed spatial abilities.
“ zhè shì ……” yuè ér xiù le xiù xiǎo yáo bí ， liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng gǔ guài wú bǐ 。
“这是……”月儿嗅了嗅小瑶鼻，脸上的表情古怪无比。
Of course, it did not refer to breaking the barrier between the human world and the spirit realm; such wonders did not exist in the cultivation world.
lín xuān què háo bù zài yì de jiāng yù píng dì dào le chuān shān jiǎ de shǒu lǐ 。
林轩却毫不在意的将玉瓶递到了穿山甲的手里。
Boundary-breaking meant breaking restrictions. If trapped within an array, even a primordial ancient prohibition array, using this talisman would allow one to escape safely.
zhè shì xiāng cǎo dān ， kě yǐ zēng jiā zhù jī qī xiū shì fǎ lì ， duì yú rú jīn de lín xuān zǎo yǐ bù zhí yī tí ， dàn què yǒu yí gè hǎo chù ， wèi dào měi miào yǐ jí 。
这是香草丹，可以增加筑基期修士法力，对于如今的林轩早已不值一提，但却有一个好处，味道美妙以极。
This effect was already impressive and could be used on independent spaces as well. Field Xiao Jian examined his hand-held talisman before throwing it into the air.
suī rán yǐ jīng zhòng xià le jìn shén shù ， dàn lín xuān hái shì zhǔn bèi gěi duì fāng yī xiē hǎo chù ， zhè yàng cāo kòng qǐ lái huì gèng róng yì de 。
虽然已经种下了禁神术，但林轩还是准备给对方一些好处，这样操控起来会更容易的。
A green light flashed, and a piercing ray of green light appeared in front of him.
guǒ rán ， chuān shān jiǎ chī le yǐ hòu ， gāo xìng dé shǒu wǔ zú dǎo ， chōng zhe lín xuān hēi hēi hēi de zhí xiào 。
果然，穿山甲吃了以后，高兴得手舞足蹈，冲着林轩嘿嘿嘿的直笑。
Sizzle… A crack appeared in the sky as if the entire heavens had shaken.
“ jiāng dòng kǒu shǒu hǎo 。”
“将洞口守好。”
However, the independent space did not break open. But Field Xiao Jian's expression showed relief as he activated the Netherworld Shatter.
lín xuān yòng shén niàn xià le yī dào mìng lìng ， suí hòu jiù dài zhe liǎng nǚ zǒu jìn le dòng fǔ 。
林轩用神念下了一道命令，随后就带着两女走进了洞府。
Meanwhile, several thousand miles away, an advanced-stage demon hovered mid-air with a look of shock and anger on its face. He had spent much effort to catch up with that annoying creature, only to easily cut off his head; it was just a fake.
lìng yī biān ， tián xiǎo jiàn dùn guāng yī huǎn ， tíng le xià lái ， tā de qián biān yǐ méi yǒu lù ， zhè lǐ jiù shì dú lì kōng jiān de jìn tóu 。
另一边，田小剑遁光一缓，停了下来，他的前边已没有路，这里就是独立空间的尽头。
How infuriating! He had been deceived.
rán Ja zěn me chū qù ， yī jiù yì diǎn tóu xù yě méi yǒu 。
然Ja怎么出去，依旧一点头绪也没有。
The demon's expression showed a mix of shock and rage as a massive surge of spiritual energy came from afar. His face froze before he turned around abruptly.
Field Xiao Jian's face showed a serious expression as he muttered under his breath, sending out a spell.
The bag opened, and countless ghostly mists spread out. A figure could be vaguely seen inside.
It was another Field Xiao Jian.
Not only did the features match perfectly, but even their aura was identical!
However, his eyes were dim and lifeless, like a living corpse.
Field Xiao Jian sighed, reaching up to touch his head. A light ball appeared before him.
This light ball had a diameter of about an inch, with a small figure inside, resembling Field Xiao Jian's features.
Second Second Soul!
Back when the Great Demon Sovereign was alive, he was proficient in this technique. As his beloved disciple, Field Xiao Jian naturally practiced it too.
The power of this technique did not need to be said; although inferior to a second soul embryo, it was still incredibly profound and mysterious.
And the corpse body prepared for him had also been carefully considered. Originally, Field Xiao Jian planned to merge with the corpse body after his Second Soul matured, refining it into an external manifestation.
However, he could no longer wait now.
With a wave of his sleeve, that light ball vanished from above the other Field Xiao Jian's head.
Then, this incarnation's gaze became more lively.
Field Xiao Jian reached out and patted his waist. A silver talisman appeared, which he pressed onto the corpse body.
The corpse body's aura immediately surged, while Field Xiao Jian's own aura remained unchanged. He extended a hand to grab it.
A green light flashed as a thick layer of green energy enveloped his right hand, seizing that silver talisman. The creature struggled fiercely, and a hint of rage appeared on Field Xiao Jian's face before he tightened his grip. A faint rumble could be heard in his ears, and the silver light finally stopped moving.
The broken sword appeared before him.
Field Xiao Jian had taken it out for a reason.
It was likely that this creature was the guardian spirit of an ancient cultivator from the Separation Stage, although times had changed, he should still have some memory of the master's treasures.
Indeed, upon seeing the sword, the armadillo-like figure froze, showing signs of deep thought on its face.
Useful!
Field Xiao Jian was delighted and immediately poured his cultivation force into the broken sword.
Of course, this treasure was no ordinary item. Field Xiao Jian did not have enough strength to control it now, but forcibly driving his cultivation force would at least allow him to project some aura.
A faint humming sound filled his ears as the sword's surface emitted a shimmering light. The creature trembled and showed signs of fear.
This result was even better than he had anticipated.
It seemed that although this creature had advanced to its late Transmutation Stage, it still harbored fear for its former master. Of course, this was due to the spirit intelligence not being fully awakened; otherwise, how could it be afraid of a mere inanimate object?
Field Xiao Jian cautiously walked forward.
This time, the armadillo did not attack but instead followed Field Xiao Jian's approach with increasing fear on its face.
When they were only about a dozen feet apart, he suddenly shouted and crouched down, holding his head. Perhaps this creature had once suffered from this sword before; otherwise, it should not be so afraid of such an item even if it was the master's treasure.
Field Xiao Jian thought to himself but did not miss this opportunity. With a wave of his sleeve, a swarm of ghostly mists rushed out and enveloped the creature.
The creature instinctively tried to struggle, but Field Xiao Jian turned pale. His late Transmutation Stage strength was no joke, but he had a trump card: he handed the broken sword in front of it.
The armadillo trembled again, becoming docile. Seizing this moment, Field Xiao Jian continuously changed his spells with his left hand while muttering incantations under his breath. The ghostly mists flashed and entered the creature's body.
Field Xiao Jian breathed a sigh of relief, sealed the broken sword in another box, and put it back in his storage bag.
"Master, is everything done?"
"Yes, I've already cast the spirit suppression technique on him."
"What? Spirit Suppression Technique?" Yue Er was stunned. Her expression turned tense again: "Master, did you just say that? The spirit suppression technique does have a wide range of uses and good effects, but this creature is in its late Transmutation Stage; what effect can such a restriction have?"
"Don't worry, I've thought about it. He's at his late Transmutation Stage, but remember, his spirit intelligence hasn't fully awakened yet. It will only fight based on instinct. In this situation, do you think he can break free from the spirit suppression technique?" Field Xiao Jian smiled, appearing confident.
"…But why not use a more powerful restriction? That would be safer."
"A more powerful restriction could trigger stronger backlash." Field Xiao Jian chuckled: "Rest assured, I know what I'm doing. For this creature, the spirit suppression technique is sufficient."
After saying that, he reached out and took an elixir bottle from his storage bag.
Opening the lid, a fragrant aroma filled the air.
"What's this?" Yue Er sniffed, her expression strange.
Field Xiao Jian casually handed the elixir bottle to the armadillo.
This was a Fragrant Grass Pill. It could increase the cultivation force of Foundation Establishment cultivators. For Field Xiao Jian now, it was insignificant, but its taste was extraordinary.
Although he had already cast the spirit suppression technique, Field Xiao Jian still planned to give the creature some benefits to make control easier.
Sure enough, after eating the pill, the armadillo danced with joy and laughed at him.
"Guard the entrance."
Field Xiao Jian issued a command through his mental projection. Then, he led the two women into the cave.
On the other side, Field Xiao Jian's flight slowed as he stopped. There was no more path ahead; this was the end of the independent space.
But how to get out remained unclear.
Field Xiao Jian scratched his head, showing a thoughtful expression on his face. However, there was no extra time for him to think now. The message from his Second Soul indicated that in at most half an hour, he would be caught by the demon.
The spirit puppet was only at the Condensation Stage and had used secret techniques to run so fast, but it was now at its limits. It would not stand a chance against the demon even if pursued further.
Time was running out for him.
Field Xiao Jian took out a talisman from his pocket with some reluctance.
This trip to Cloud Ridge Mountain had yielded no results, and he had used up many of his hard-earned treasures over the years. But there were no other choices now.
It was a green talisman that looked unremarkable and even slightly broken, missing a corner at the bottom left.
However, Field Xiao Jian was very reluctant to use it.
This was an ancient boundary-breaking talisman, whose crafting method had long been lost. Even if it was a substandard item, it still had value in the market. He had spent much effort obtaining this item.
A boundary-breaking talisman, as its name suggested, possessed spatial abilities.
Of course, it did not refer to breaking the barrier between the human world and the spirit realm; such wonders did not exist in the cultivation world.
Boundary-breaking meant breaking restrictions. If trapped within an array, even a primordial ancient prohibition array, using this talisman would allow one to escape safely.
This effect was already impressive and could be used on independent spaces as well. Field Xiao Jian examined his hand-held talisman before throwing it into the air.
A green light flashed, and a piercing ray of green light appeared in front of him.
Sizzle… A crack appeared in the sky as if the entire heavens had shaken.
However, the independent space did not break open. But Field Xiao Jian's expression showed relief as he activated the Netherworld Shatter.
Meanwhile, several thousand miles away, an advanced-stage demon hovered mid-air with a look of shock and anger on its face. He had spent much effort to catch up with that annoying creature, only to easily cut off his head; it was just a fake.
How infuriating! He had been deceived.
The demon's expression showed a mix of shock and rage as a massive surge of spiritual energy came from afar. His face froze before he turned around abruptly.
