Chapter 229

This remark caused silence again in the hall.

We must translate faithfully without adding extra words. Use the glossary names exactly as they will be provided. No glossary is available yet; we will provide it after translating all lines. For now, we need to translate the lines using the proper names: identify the named entities in each line—characters such as the Yuwen Immortal Clan, the Yuwen family, Yuwen Sheng, the Yu Ming Immortal Nation, Chan'er, Hong'er, the Old Ancestor, Qing Yun, the Qing Yun Immortal Sect, Han Yue True Immortal, Yang Xue, the Yang family, Yang Wu Di, the Clan Lord's Lady, the Heaven Light Immortal Palace, the Tianhui Continent, the Xianlan Continent, the Xianqing Academy Palace, the Qinggu Heavenly Domain, the Ziling Heavenly Domain, the Xianlan region, and so on. Also translate terms like immortal might, immortal bearing and dao bone, etc. Remember that cultivation terms must be rendered by meaning, not romanized: for example, the term meaning 'immortal might' should be translated as 'immortal might', the term meaning 'immortal bearing and dao bone' as 'immortal bearing and dao bone', the term meaning 'immortal' as 'immortal', the term meaning 'True Immortal' as 'True Immortal', and the term meaning 'undying True Immortal' as 'undying True Immortal'.

We need to output glossary after all lines: list every named entity/coined term appearing in these lines. We'll need to extract them.

Let's translate each line.

We'll need to be careful to not add extra words. Keep meaning same.

The whooshing flames' scorching sound and the clinking of tempering never cease to reach the ears.

Eighty! Eighty!

The Artifact Forging Hall Elder Wu Xiaoye held an immortal hammer, continuously forging the quenching azure blade before him, murmuring to himself.

"Sect Master, this immortal sword has been forged!"
