Xianxia,as can be seen from the use of espers,flying,general kickass with abilities and the fact that the MC does not get laid in 5 chapters time(I`m looking at you A Step Into The Past).You will have trouble reading because translators change and one used English name equivalents(why they thought of this as a good idea is beyond me).Grammar isn`t 1st rate either so read about 15 chapters before deciding whether to continue or not.

Thanks owlHoot

[Georgius Huang]

This really just a concern since I really love reading Zhu Xian, not that I'm not grateful for all the hard works from owlHoot.

Is there no one else willing to help translate this novel? Since this novel has like 6 books with hundreds of chapters, I'm really seeing no end of the story... With owlHoot translation rate of one chapter per month, it might take years to complete this, with every possibility of owlHoot changing his mind to do something else in the future.

Sorry, I really appreciate your work owlHoot, but I also hope this novel can be finished and supported by other translators if necessary. Thanks a lot.

Thks too kai9004, LuDongBin, sanfore, ycb5959, z3385922, HPC7595, spynet, Zlack
Thks Bludflag, I will make the amendments. Didn't purposely choose those vocabs but I wanted to find the words that had the closest meaning to the Chinese words :/
Guys, please dun fight, it's all because of my translation speed

Georgius Huang, I know where you are coming from. This is the first time I took up translation and sorry to say my languages aren't good enough to make a speedy and good translation so I had to spend a few good hrs each time to do it, of cos plus a few other commitments, I am unable to post as regular as other translators. But as a reader too myself, I knew how frustrating it can be so I always feel apologetic to all of you.
I have never objected to other translators who wanna help out this series or even take over if their speed is so much faster than mine, so please pm me if you are interested.


End of Chapter

Lin JingYu looked at his slow-moving action and suddenly felt tensed, deep inside him, it seemed as if he was anticipating something and unconsciously held his breath.

That pair of withered and aged palms, not knowing how many seasons of snowstorm it had weathered. When he again touched the hard and cold sword hilt, and then, he held it tight!

In Founders Ancestral Hall, a faint bell tolled suddenly.

[Qiang lang…..]

Unexpectedly, the Dragon Slayer Sword which had remained dim, abruptly shone with green light, the brilliant rays shone like the blazing sun in the horizon, dazzling and glaring! That elderly unhurriedly drew the Dragon Slayer Sword out, with every inch it was out, the Dragon Slayer Sword seemed to vibrate with agitation, dragons singing unceasingly. The sound that shook till the souls of everyone, reverberated among the nine heavens.

The elderly stood up straight, placed the Dragon Slayer Sword, which was glowing with magnificent greenish blue rays, in front of him, gently caressing it. That callus aged hand, was as gentle as if it was caressing its own beloved daughter.

The Dragon Slayer Sword continued to whistle, even standing a distance away, Lin JingYu and the Evil Faction crowd, sensed that the Dragon Slayer Sword seemed to be alive with a soul of its own.

Lin JingYu stared blankly at that Dragon Slayer Sword, which he almost could not recognize, radiating unparalleled resplendent glow in that elderly’s hand. And that withered elderly’s appearance, after grabbing that sword hilt, also seemed to change, the unseen grandeur surged and spilled over, looking as if the legendary ancient sword deity had appeared.

“Child, watch carefully, Dragon Slayer Sword is not to be used like that!” The elderly, standing in the surging and turbulent jade-green light waves, indifferently said.

He had just finished his words, when jade-green light burst forth in a split second, the entire ground was shrouded in that green light in an instant, the light covering the sky and earth. With a sharp whistling sound, the Dragon Slayer Sword, like a flash of electricity, shot out from the elderly’s hand.

After witnessing the elderly’s imposing manner, the Evil Faction group was already prepared, immediately a sound of command was heard, they steered their magical weapons up to attack at the same time, only Zhou Yin stood at the back, frowning but did not make any attack.

The three of them seemed to use the same methods of attack on which they used on Lin JingYu, the long beard attacking directly, the flying sword flew up, the white bone sword attacking stealthily. Unexpectedly that elderly did not even bother about the yellow flying sword and white bone sword, the Dragon Slayer Sword turned into a enormous light beacon, charged over with the force of toppling the mountain and overturning the seas. The Evil Faction disciple, who was controlling the long beard weapon, turned pale and quickly steered the long beard to ward off the blows but to hear only a loud and clear sound, the Dragon Slayer Sword, like cutting an ice snow, had sliced the long beard into half, and without any moment of hesitation, chopped down from his head.

[Ssi…]

Under Lin JingYu’s dumbstruck stare, under everyone’s fearful stares, that Evil Faction person, from his head till toes, was sliced into half, blood sprayed everywhere like rain. And almost without stopping, in the blood-stained sky, the green rays, almost demon-looking, rolled back and charged towards the other two persons.

The flying sword and white bone sword, which were originally attacking the elderly, right now were frightened out of their wits and how would they have the courage to attack, immediately turned back to flee, at the same time recalled their weapons. However, the Dragon Slayer Sword’s powerful rays covered the sky, in an instant reached and right before everyone’s eyes, collided with them.

Almost without any cries of surprise, the green rays swallowed up the other two Evil Faction disciples, sounds of shattering suddenly exploded, who knew what had exactly happened to the two persons?

Lin JingYu was dripping cold sweat, his consciousness seemed to have been robbed!

Standing at the furthest away, Zhou Yin’s countenance changed greatly, he knew that the elderly was actually a fearful master and he was no match for him, immediately he turned and flew off.

Unexpectedly, the green rays were like the roar of a mountain and howling of the sea, mixed with dark red blood color, flashed past like electric rays, charged after.

Zhou Yin’s skills were indeed higher than the rest, all of a sudden his hands shook and a concealed black air flashed by, the green rays, which had filled up the sky, actually paused in front of him.

And the next moment, Zhou Yin suddenly turned pale, hoarsely exclaimed, “It’s you! You are Wan….”

He had not finished his words when the immeasurable green rays suppressed that struggling black air and struck down from the head, chopped onto Zhou Yin’s chest.

Zhou Yin cried out once miserably, his entire being flung out far away, by the looks of it, he would not be able to survive.

In a short while, the four Evil Faction people who were strutting around just now, were all dead.

The immeasurable green jade rays, like a big whale sucking up water, were sucked back into the Dragon Slayer Sword, and flew back to the elderly’s hand.

Lin JingYu opened his mouth slightly but couldn’t speak a word.

That elderly shook his head slightly, seemed to be sighing to himself on something, after which he looked deeply at the Dragon Slayer Sword in his hand and tossed it to Lin JingYu.

Lin JingYu subconsciously caught it and heard that elderly turned back to walk into Founders Ancestral Hall, while muttering in his breath, “Dragon Slayer Sword, casted by collecting tens of thousands of green crystals from the extremely harsh Southern border, destroyed countless of the wicked and evil. When using this sword, you must march forward courageously, using attack as the main style, even if your skills are not enough, you too must have the determination to kill the whole lot of the formidable enemy, if not you will not be able to unleash the divine energy, you must remember!”

Lin JingYu was stunned but seeing that the elderly was about to enter the Founders Ancestral Hall, he suddenly woke up to reality, and urgently said, “Senior, today the Evil Faction attacked Qing Yun in forces, I earnestly request that you must give….”

That elderly’s body suddenly paused but he did not turn over, only indifferently said, “In Qing Yun Sect highly skilled experts are numerous, Head Sect DaoXuan Reverend is even more the world’s extraordinary rare talented master, with him, what is there to fear?”

Lin JingYu stepped forward, sorrowfully said, “But, but Sect Head Reverend has already been grievously hurt!”

That elderly was obviously shocked, abruptly turned his head over and said, “Who was it that could have hurt DaoXuan?”

Lin JingYu suddenly became silent, of course he knew who the culprit was, but to say out Taoist Cang Song at this moment, without knowing why, he felt a wave of sadness, as if he was to say it out, it seemed like he would be severing something with that person, and for that moment he did not speak a single word!

That elderly continued on to ask, “What about DaoXuan! How is he now?”

Lin JingYu said, “Sect Head Reverend sustained serious injury, but without knowing what was it for, he entered into Illusory Moon Cave.”

“Illusory Moon Cave!” That elderly’s expression at once calmed down, after a long while while facing Lin JingYu but at the same time, seemed to be facing himself, sighed slightly and said, “Qing Yun Sect is a thousand years enormous sect, what do you fear?”

After speaking, the elderly once more unhurriedly turned back. Lin JingYu turned pale and exclaimed, “Elderly senior, will you watch Qing Yun in danger and yet not save it?”

That elderly smiled forlornly and said, “Young man, Qing Yun Sect was established and handed down for almost two thousand years long, the internal strength within, how can you know! You just don’t have to worry.”

Lin JingYu did not understand and was about to plead earnestly again when suddenly the Dragon Slayer Sword which had been staying quietly in his hand all this while, turned extremely warm, as if it had been stimulated, and the green rays again, shone out.

Lin JingYu stared at the Dragon Slayer Sword in his hand, seemed to sense something and turned his head to look towards the direction of the Illusory Moon Cave. In-between the valleys, a stream of grand light burst towards the sky, and the Dragon Slayer Sword in his hand, also seemed to be softly calling out in that direction.

“It has emerged, finally coming out into the world!”

Without knowing when that elderly had also turned to look towards that direction, his face was full of conflicting and confusing expression, whispered, “Child, your luck is good, very soon you will be able to see that legendary ancient sword ‘Zhu Xian’!”

Thanks, owlHoot

Thks very much Bludflag, I had made the changes and some of my replies

Right now disaster is as close as to the eye
as close to the eye as what?If this is some idiom,please explain

I changed it to 'right before our eyes'. I just literary translated it, forgot that in English it's right before

In an instant, the Crystal Hall which was originally solemn and dignified, magical weapons danced,
In an instant inside the Crystal Hall which was originally solemn and dignified magical weapons started dancing(sounds better without the commas,and the magical weapons part seriously needed to be reworded,but you do a pretty good job at translating IMHO)

Yes, I also felt the magical weapons need to be reworded but I really cant think of another appropriate word I had edited but I left the comma before the magical weapons as it was another phrase.

and waves of murderous energy like burst of fierce spirits
bursts(sentence seems awkward,bursts of fierce spirits,doesn`t make much sense to me,please explain this sentence)

this is the phrase:一股股煞气恍如一股股凶灵. It means waves of 煞气 (aura of death/murderous air) was like waves of 凶灵(fierce/vicious spirit). I have a hard time with this but not sure if you can make sense of my explanation tho lol

sky, carrying a few cries, who would know who had lost their lives?
who would know who lost their life(might be a problem from my side,sometimes my tenses get all mixed up,a second opinion is needed)

I still retain 'who had lost their lives' as they were wondering who were the people who had been killed.

all of them knew right now how viciously had the fighting in Crystal Hall turned into and couldn’t help but worry for their respective branches seniors.
all of them knew how vicious had the fighting in Crystal Hall become and couldn`t help but worry for their respective branch seniors(it might also be right what you wrote if there were multiple branches of the training techniques,but I`m putting this in case it was only one branch there since the author isn`t really clear on it)

become should it be 'became'? And yes, there were multiple branches, like Small Bamboo Valley, Big Bamboo Valley, Long Shan Valley etc

Lin JingYu gritted his teeth
grit

I will stick to gritted since dictionary also included this

swept towards that five black-attired men
the five black attired men(I do not know if you should add the -,your call)

Yes, I should change it to black-attired (I forgot about the -) but it's a major change so I will need to check and make the changes from the beginning.

[owlHoot]

Hi Bludflag, many thks again

Lin JingYu gritted his teeth
personal preference is grit here,since that`s what it used to be,but you can use gritted too(in the last 10 years or so,grit has been slowly changed to gritted for some reason as can be seen here https://literalminded.wordpress.com/...rit-his-teeth/)

Thanks, using gritted

under that Evil Faction man’s manipulation, it would suddenly materialize and vanished.
vanish

It's not vanished?
