The desert stretched endlessly, golden sands shimmering with a brightness that was almost blinding. The scorching heat radiated from the ground, making the soles of one's feet burn. Waves of heat rolled over the landscape.
If an ordinary person were to walk here, they wouldn't last long before collapsing. The temperature in this desert was frighteningly high, like a giant furnace.
At this moment, the hearts of the Yu Clan members were as fervent as the desert, brimming with joy. They were close to their destination, the legendary Taiyi True Water was within sight.
Just two li away, a divine pool could be seen, only a meter in size, yet it stood out conspicuously in the golden desert.
Though the pool was small, it emanated a vast energy, like an ocean in motion, intimidating to behold. The divine liquid within sparkled with a holy brilliance, casting rays of light.
Mist steamed, and auspicious light surged, enshrouding the area. Even someone untrained in such matters would recognize this as an extraordinary treasure, worth an immeasurable fortune.
The phenomena here were astounding, fitting the characteristics of a sacred treasure.
"This is wonderful. Our Yu Clan's rise is now hopeful. If we can obtain this pool of water, our clan will undoubtedly reach great heights, reviving the glory of our ancient name," Yu Wencheng exclaimed, his hair and beard trembling with excitement.
The group gazed longingly at the pool, fully aware of its significance to the Yu Clan. Every one of them was deeply moved, their bodies trembling with anticipation.
Just a single drop would cause a sensation in the outside world, and the value of an entire pool was beyond measure.
Yu Kun cautioned, "Be careful. Taiyi True Water is sentient. We cannot recklessly destroy the runes. We must approach it slowly, using our clan's innate affinity with water to communicate and gain its trust."
Taiyi True Water, though a mere pool of divine liquid, was nearly sentient, having developed runes and laws that allowed it to fly and burrow. It was extremely difficult to capture.
It must be won over; if one attempted to seize it by force, the entire pool could not be taken.
The Yu Clan members prayed silently, then advanced step by step, chanting ancient incantations. The water energy in the area became lively, emitting a faint blue glow.
"Roar!"
A black tiger roared, and a black whirlwind arose in the desert, lifting several sand dunes high into the sky in a terrifying display. The whirlwind reached all the way to the heavens.
"What is that? How did a fierce beast appear?" The group was startled.
"It's not a real beast, but a manifestation of runes—half illusion, half reality. Don't be deceived by it," Yu Wencheng whispered.
He sat down cross-legged. Though in the desert, waves of blue energy spread out from him, blocking the black tiger, attempting to reveal its true form.
"Boom!"
A loud explosion echoed as the black tiger roared, shattering into pieces and turning into a cloud of sand. The whirlwind dissipated as well.
However, just as the wind stopped, a strange sound began, like bones grinding against each other.
"Crack," "crack."
The golden sand began to shake, and then the desert split open. A pile of snow-white bones appeared, quickly assembling into a fierce bird, though it lacked wings.
On its head, runes flickered, emitting an eerie energy, a terrifying aura.
"These are the remains of a powerful being that died in the desert. I didn't expect the Taiyi True Water to truly have a spirit, able to summon these bones back to life."
Brilliant lights flickered, and the sound of bones moving echoed again. Another sand dune cracked open, revealing dozens of white skeletons, all surrounded by runes.
"So many powerful creatures died here," the group was astonished.
At the same time, many eyes gleamed with greed. These were treasure bones, dozens of them. Even without considering anything else, this fortune alone was incredible.
"We can't attack recklessly, or we'll alarm the Taiyi True Water. If it escapes, it will be hard to find again," Yu Wencheng warned.
"This Taiyi True Water is truly extraordinary. It's showing signs of transforming into a sacrificial spirit, able to control these skeletons," remarked the elder who had lost both legs.
Taiyi True Water seemed to be imbuing these bones with a different kind of life, reviving the runes. The sight was astonishing.
"Fortunately, we came prepared. After various calculations, we anticipated many possible scenarios in Broken Mountain," Yu Kun nodded.
They took out a treasured bottle, and when it was opened, a yellow mist billowed out, followed by strands of black light. The three of them simultaneously performed a ritual, sending the black light forward in ripples.
The black light danced, moving with the ripples, transforming into various creatures—some were ghosts, others horned dragons, and some humanoid—each different from the next.
This was water from the River of the Yellow Springs, painstakingly refined by the Yu Clan. The process involved fusing numerous rune bones in a furnace and adding water from the underworld river, blending various runes together.
Of course, the bones used were typically damaged or newly formed and of lesser value. Otherwise, even just one bottle of this Yellow Springs water would cause immense pain to any major clan, given the amount of rune bones required.
The Yellow Springs water boiled, with mist rising, but the light that emerged was not yellow—it was black. The strands of black light flew out, enveloping the area ahead, and the runes resonated, as if the gates of hell had opened, casting an eerie atmosphere over the place.
One by one, the skeletons in the desert slowed their movements within the black light, eventually collapsing with a clatter, their bones falling apart.
"It truly works!" The group was overjoyed, elated.
"Refining this bottle of Yellow Springs water was intended for venturing into the death zones, but it's been used up here. It seems we must be content. If we obtain the Taiyi True Water, we'll hide in the desert and wait for the exit of Broken Mountain to open."
The Yu Clan members gazed at the divine pool ahead, hearts racing with excitement, yet they remained cautious. This divine liquid had already gained sentience and could summon bones to its aid. Who knew what else it might do?
"Why do you disturb my slumber?" A faint, confused will emerged, tinged with a sense of bewilderment.
The group was shocked. This divine pool was indeed on the verge of becoming a spiritual entity. Its divine nature was immense. If it succeeded, it would grow incredibly powerful, possibly igniting divine flames and achieving godhood one day.
Fortunately, its consciousness was still weak and far from that path, making it manageable.
"We are descendants of the Rain God, your kin. We mean no harm," the Yu Clan members tried to communicate.
Suddenly, the ground split open, and a dazzling green light shot out. There appeared a vine, crystalline and several meters long, not particularly thick, but resembling a dragon in shape.
"A guardian appears!" The Yu Clan members were alarmed.
Any divine object would be guarded by fierce beasts. Unexpectedly, there was a vine here, seemingly nourished by the Taiyi True Water, making it robust and formidable.
"This is the final hurdle. If we can defeat this spiritual vine, the Taiyi True Water will be ours." The Yu Clan members clenched their fists, their eyes blazing.
"I will face it," Yu Kun stepped forward.
"Be cautious. Defeat it, but do not truly harm it. Otherwise, the Taiyi True Water will become angry and flee," Yu Wencheng reminded.
"Don't worry," Yu Kun nodded, stepping forward. He produced a piece of beast hide, and as the runes filled the air, they formed a Qiankun Bag, emitting endless radiance, aiming to capture the vine.
以下是翻译后的章节片段：
“小家伙在沙堆中露出头来，满脸惊讶地说道：‘好奇怪的宝具！’”
“‘确实很强，但这距离上古传说中的乾坤袋还差得远。这只是仿制品而已，真正的乾坤袋是用几块天阶太古凶兽的皮熔炼而成，威力恐怖至极，无物不收。’银袍少年萧天答道。”
小家伙听后陷入了沉思，心中充满了对上古诸圣与神明的无限遐想，究竟他们有多强大？
“‘别再胡思乱想了，乾坤袋是古来最强的宝具之一。你以为太古神禽、凶兽是随便可以猎杀的吗？它们可是连神明都能屠戮的存在。’萧天打断了他的思绪。”
沙漠中爆发了一场激战，尽管那只是一件仿制品，但这兽皮袋依然十分可怕，符文无穷无尽，仿佛要将整片沙漠都吸纳进去。
那株藤竟也异常恐怖，连根拔起，化作一条碧绿色的蛟龙，符文闪耀，飞出一道道剑芒，随后竟主动冲进了乾坤袋中。
“‘太好了，收进去了，制住它了！’雨族众人欣喜若狂。”
然而，他们还来不及欢呼，那兽皮袋竟然破裂了，灵藤冲了出来，横扫四方，雨昆当场喷血，骨头多处断裂，重伤倒地。他败了。
“‘好强大！这灵藤太厉害了，竟然毁掉了乾坤袋，我们根本对付不了它！’雨族众人如同被泼了一盆冷水，通体发凉，陷入困境。”
“‘看来只能用最后的底牌了，真是不甘心啊，那可是我雨族真正的底蕴所在。’雨文成叹息道。”
“‘消耗掉就消耗掉吧，不然它们本来也没有什么特别的战力，只是对灵物有震慑作用而已。’雨昆擦去嘴角的血迹说道。”
远处，小家伙的大眼睛滴溜溜地转动，盯着前方那诡异的场景，露出了异样的神色。
“‘他们摆出了一个祭坛，要做什么？’大红鸟也充满了好奇。”
雨族人纷纷跪拜下来，一座黑漆漆的小祭坛不高过一尺，被摆放在前方，上面放着一张泛黄的纸张，雨文成等人齐声默念咒语，施展宝术，开始祭拜。
突然，那张黄纸发光，燃烧了起来，随后一片文字浮现，透纸而出，烙印在虚空中，宛如星辰般灿烂。
“‘神灵的法旨！’银袍少年萧天身体一颤，感到无比震惊。”
恍惚间，他们似乎听到了上古诸神的吟唱，古老的咒语从远古的世界传来，庄严而神圣，令人敬畏，忍不住要顶礼膜拜。
“‘这是什么？’太一真水传出疑惑的声音，那株灵藤则颤抖着伏在了池水前。”
“‘这是我族祖先雨神留下的法旨，虽然不是亲笔题字，只是口述，但其中记载了一些神音，足以证明我们与水息息相关。’雨文成解释道。”
远处，小家伙心中惊悚，雨神留下的法旨，哪怕只是口述，就有如此威势，若是真个动笔题字，那留下的法旨该是多么可怕？
若是真有文字传世，多半可以轻易斩杀诸多强大的存在，破灭各种宝具。
经过一番简单的沟通，雨族证实了自己为雨神的后代，并拿出了一些神明的遗物，虽然这些物品并非宝具，只是使用过的砚台、镇纸等，但竟然流转着圣洁的光辉。
这些东西没有什么符文，无法发挥出战斗力，但却非常特别，那种气息让太一真水感到亲近，最终它竟然允许雨族接近了。
“‘我们带你离开这个小世界，去我雨族，在那里你可以进一步成长，或许有一天你能真正封神。’雨昆说道。”
自从感应到雨神的气息后，太一真水对他们的态度彻底转变，愿意跟随，毕竟它只是一团朦胧的意志，并没有复杂的心思。
“‘成功了，这可怎么办？’小家伙瞪大了眼睛，盯着前方，这太快了，戏剧性的转折。”
“‘萧族也为我准备了一宗异宝，只要接近太一真水，定能夺来一掊神液。可惜现在被雨族抢先一步，他们守在那里，若是硬闯太危险了。’萧天焦急不已，心中满是遗憾。”
小家伙听到后，眼睛顿时亮了起来，说道：“‘我不怕危险，让我去试一试。’”
此时雨族众人神色肃穆，满怀虔诚，正恭请太一真水进入玉鼎，准备将其带走。
每个人心中都无比激动，居然真的要将太一真水弄到手了，雨族注定将会辉煌无比，未来甚至可能因此而立国。
他们都将成为功臣，未来必定显赫无比。
“‘我们虽为雨族一支，但所做之事注定将影响所有雨姓人，我族必将因此而再次崛起。’”
“‘这一刻，我等了很久，马上就要成功了。’”
太一真水悬浮在空中，化作一团光芒，逐渐没入玉鼎中，一滴不少，全部进入了鼎中。
雨族众人长出了一口气，仿佛卸下了千斤重担。
“‘没时间了，送我过去！’”小家伙让萧天祭出宝具，他准备借力爆发，直接冲过去。”
“嗡”的一声，萧天手中出现了一块盾牌，乃是一块龟甲，流动着碧绿色的光芒，闪烁着无尽的符文奥义，他用力挥动。
小家伙一声轻叱，猛地腾空而起，双足踏在龟盾上，爆发出一股强大的力量，直接跃向前方。
要知道，他双足一跺地，就能让大地崩裂，他拥有无与伦比的爆发力，可以藉此直接冲上高天，落在山巅。
此刻，他正是启动了这种别人难以企及的爆发力，只不过这次是横向的，直冲着那玉鼎而去，速度快到极致，像是一颗流星般砸了过去。
这一刻，不仅小家伙成功爆发，冲了出去。银袍少年萧天也被震飞了出去，手中那强大的宝具竟然出现了裂纹，推着他倒飞出去五六里远，随后盾牌彻底爆碎。
他目瞪口呆，若非小家伙事先告诫他用另一件宝具护体，他的双臂肯定早已粉碎。
“‘我竟然倒飞了五六里！’”他简直不敢相信，这少年的双足得有多么恐怖的力量啊。
同样发呆的还有雨族众人，他们的喜悦和激动全都僵在了脸上，当真是天降横祸，太一真水竟然被惊扰了！
一个熊孩子像是陨石般从天而降，直接砸进了玉鼎内，此刻正扑腾着呢，不断大口吞咽太一真水。
雨族人彻底傻眼了，这也太不真实了，简直像是在做梦。
这个片段充满了激烈的动作与戏剧性的转折，希望你觉得翻译达到了预期的效果。如果有需要进一步调整的地方，随时告诉我。
