Chapter 60

Outside the formation, the two Nascent Soul True Lords had already reached an agreement with Dragon King Ao Yuan, preparing to call Jiang Yu to open the formation.

The two Nascent Soul True Lords had already reached an agreement with Dragon King Ao Yuan, preparing to call Jiang Yu to open the formation.

We must not add extra words not in source. Keep concise.

Let's go line by line.

We'll need to ensure we don't add explanatory words not present. For example, "outside" is "outside". That's fine.

We'll produce each translation as a single line.

Now we need to produce glossary list after all lines.

We must list every named entity/coined term appearing in these lines. Use the exact English forms we used in translations.

We need to decide which terms to include: characters (including protagonist & minor ones), places, sects/clans/factions/peoples, official & sect ranks/titles, techniques, cultivation realms/pills/treasures, named beasts/items, fan-fiction names.

We must exclude common words/objects, generic forms of address (not ranks), real-world brands/apps/celebrities, internet slang, bare generic genre words.

Thus we need to list:

Characters:

Jiang Yu

Sui Lv Zhenjun

Lin Yuan

Jiang Tu

Jiang Du

Tao Wenche

Wenche

Deng Yuanwu

Bai Li Zhenren

Elder Ye

Chong Dao Zhenren

De Zhang Zhenren

Dao Xu Zhenren

Hu Zhenren

Tan Zhenren

Tan

Thus we need to extract personal names (surname+given name) and also titles that are ranks (like True Lord, True Person, Elder, etc.) which we should include as part of the named entity? The rule says official & sect ranks/titles should be included in glossary. So we should include titles like "Nascent Soul True Lord", "Dragon King", "Grand Void Sect", etc. So we need to include those.

Thus we need to compile list of:

Personal names (pinyin):

- Jiang Yu

- Sui Lv Zhenjun

- Lin Yuan

- Jiang Tu

- Jiang Du

- Tao Wenche

- Wenche (maybe we can omit as it's same as Tao Wenche's given name; but it's a distinct appearance. However it's not a full name; it's just given name. The rule says we should use pinyin for person's actual name including nickname etc. So "Wenche" is a given name, part of his name. Should we list it? It's a name component. I'd say we list it as a named entity because it's a name used to refer to him. But to avoid duplication, we could list both full name and given name. The instruction: list every named entity appearing. So we should list each distinct string. So include "Wenche".

- Deng Yuanwu

- Bai Li

- Ye (as Elder Ye? Actually the name is Ye, but we have title Elder. The named entity is "Elder Ye". Since Elder is a rank, we should include the combined form? The rule says official & sect ranks/titles should be included. So we should include "Elder Ye" as a named entity (rank + surname). Similarly "Senior Brother Dao Xu" etc. But we need to decide.

Let's read the glossary instruction: "List every NAMED entity / coined term in these lines: characters (incl. the protagonist & minor ones), places, sects/clans/factions/peoples, official & sect ranks/titles, techniques, cultivation realms/pills/treasures, named beasts/items, fan-fiction names."

Thus we need to include official & sect ranks/titles as named entities. So "Elder Ye" is a rank + surname, qualifies. "Senior Brother Dao Xu" also. "True Person" etc.

Thus we should include forms like "Nascent Soul True Lord", "Dragon King", "Grand Void Sect", "Harmonious Joy Sect", "Demonic Sect", "Law Enforcement Hall", etc.

Also techniques: "Five Elements Breaking Void Pearl", "Breaking Void Pearl", "ancient transmission supreme treasure", "Supreme Stabilizing Wind Pearl", "Dragon Spittle Grass", "Primordial Unity Technique", "Cavern Mystic Thunder Fire Technique", "earth escape talisman", "spirit net", "five-colored rosy light", "five-colored sphere", etc.

Named beasts: "Ice Wolves", "Eclipse Moon Tiger", "Little Dragon King"? Actually "Little Dragon King" is a title? Might be a named beast? It's a young dragon king; we could treat as a named beast? It's a creature. We'll include "Little Dragon King". Also "Ice Wolves". Also "Eclipse Moon Tiger". Also "seventh-stage juvenile"? Not a named beast.

Places: maybe "Stone Hill Mine". Also "ancient cultivator's abandoned residence". Also "Grand Void Sect" is a sect, not a place but we already have sect.

Also "Dragon Clan". Also "Dragon King Ao Yuan" is a character with title.

We need to be careful not to include generic words like "formation", "talisman", etc unless they are part of a named entity (like "Spirit Net" is a specific item? It's a generic spirit net, not a named item. So exclude.

Now we need to produce translations for each line.

Let's craft each translation.

We'll aim for concise but faithful.

Outside the formation, the two Nascent Soul True Lords had already reached an agreement with Dragon King Ao Yuan, preparing to call Jiang Yu to open the formation.

Translation: Outside the formation, the two Nascent Soul True Lords had already reached an agreement with Dragon King Ao Yuan, preparing to call Jiang Yu to open the formation.

Actually, this tiny spell formation before them could be sliced open with a single sword, but Nascent Soul cultivators wouldn't bother to forcibly break the Dao Sect disciples' formation just for the Dragon King.

Translation: Actually, to them the small formation could be broken with a single sword, but a Nascent Soul cultivator had no reason to forcibly break the Dao Sect disciple's formation for the Dragon King.

Translation: And with a slap of his small hand, he shattered Jiang Yu's protective light barrier: "Don't open it!"

"What are you doing?" the little turtle Jiang Tu exclaimed upon seeing Jiang Yu slapped to the ground; he dropped the trapped 'big brother' and lunged to strike the little dragon prince.

Translation: "What are you doing?" Upon seeing Jiang Yu slapped to the ground, Little Black Turtle Jiang Tu dropped the trapped "Big Brother" and lunged to strike the little dragon king.

At that moment, the light curtain at the top of the formation slowly opened; the little dragon prince, pinned beneath Jiang Tu, saw Ao Yuan in mid‑air making a move to reach out and grab him.

In panic, he poured all his spiritual power into the five‑colored sphere hanging from his wrist.

"Jiang Tu!" Jiang Yu saw the two of them about to be engulfed by the suddenly appearing five‑colored rosy light, and without thinking she flung out her spirit net to pull Jiang Tu back.

Translation: "Jiang Tu!" Jiang Yu saw the two of them about to be engulfed by the sudden five‑colored rosy light, and without thinking she flung out her spirit net to pull Jiang Tu back.

Unexpectedly, the spirit net was severed by the rosy light; she herself was instead drawn into it, and in an instant the light merged completely, enveloping and lifting the three of them.

Translation: Unexpectedly, the spirit net was cut by the rosy light; she herself was instead drawn into it, and in an instant the light merged completely, lifting the three of them up.

At that moment, the little dragon prince couldn't kick the two of them out, and besides, having activated the translocation, it had exhausted its last bit of spiritual power.

Translation: At that moment, the little dragon king tried to kick the two of them out but couldn't; moreover, having activated the teleportation, it had exhausted its last bit of mana.

Jiang Yu, also realizing she couldn't get out, used the torn spirit net to bind the unknown little dragon.

Translation: Jiang Yu also, upon realizing she couldn't get out, wrapped the torn spirit net around the unknown little dragon.

Don't be fooled by the amount of text; everything happened in an instant, and even the three high‑level cultivators couldn't stop it in time.

Translation: Don't be fooled by the length of the description—everything happened in an instant, and even the three high‑level cultivators couldn't stop it in time.

"Five Elements Void‑Breaking Pearl!" the two Nascent Soul cultivators exclaimed in astonishment; this is an ancient treasure of transmission modeled after the World‑Breaking Pearl.

Translation: "Five Elements Breaking Void Pearl!" the two Nascent Soul cultivators exclaimed in awe—this was an ancient transmission supreme treasure modeled after the Breaking Void Pearl.

Nowadays, such items can only be found in certain ancient cultivators' ruins.

It not only enables ultra‑long‑distance transmission, but the pearl itself also protects the one being transmitted.

Translation: It not only enables ultra‑long‑distance teleportation, but the pearl itself also protects the one being transmitted.

"Ao Ze, you scoundrel! How dare you use such a treasure!" Ao Yuan flashed forward, but it was too late; the five‑colored rosy light, imbued with spatial power, would injure anyone who merely touched it.

Translation: "Ao Ze, you bastard! How dare you use such a supreme treasure?" Ao Yuan flashed forward too late, and the five‑colored rosy light, imbued with spatial power, would injure on the slightest contact.

He could only retreat resentfully, shouting, "Don't let the king catch you!"

Sang Zhenren moved forward, but her cultivation couldn't approach within three zhang of the rosy light: "Jiang Yu!"

Translation: Sang Zhenren moved forward, but her cultivation couldn't reach within three zhang of the rosy light: "Jiang Yu!"

"Elder, the people down there are being seized…" Jiang Yu's words were completely swept away by the rosy light.

Translation: "Elder, the people below are being seized—" Jiang Yu's words were completely swept away by the rosy light.

When Xia Bing, Lin Yuan and the other Tai Xu Sect disciples arrived, they saw only a fading glimmer of light, and the formation, bereft of its master, shattered by the rosy light.

Translation: When Xia Bing, Lin Yuan and other Grand Void Sect disciples arrived, they saw only a fading glimmer and the ruined formation whose master had been lost, shattered by the rosy light.

"Isn't that supposed to be Jiang Yu's older brother's person?" Lin Yuan didn't see it.

Jiang Du naturally took advantage of the formation's rupture to swiftly use an earth‑escape talisman and flee.

The Nascent Soul cultivators in mid‑air did see his action, but since they had to guard against Dragon King Ao Yuan, they wouldn't bother with a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Translation: The Nascent Soul cultivators in mid‑air did see his move, but they had to guard against Dragon King Ao Yuan, so they wouldn't bother with a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator.

"Were they all transmitted together?" Tao Wenche was uncertain; he hadn't seen clearly.

Translation: "Were they all transmitted together?" Tao Wenche wasn't sure; he hadn't seen clearly.

Sang Zhenren said: "He escaped underground."

Translation: Sang Zhenren said: "He escaped underground."

Wenche, tell us what happened; confirm whether he is a disciple of the Hehuan Sect.

Translation: "Wenche, tell us what happened—confirm whether he is a disciple of the Harmonious Joy Sect."

While Tao Wenche was detailing what he had seen, Deng Yuanwu, who had only just arrived on sword after a long delay, quickly sent the news to his master.

Translation: While Tao Wenche was describing what he saw, Deng Yuanwu, who had only just arrived on his sword after a long delay, quickly sent word to his master.

In just half a day, several duty elders of the Tai Xu Sect already knew everything about the sword‑trial arena.

Translation: In just half a day, the duty elders of the Grand Void Sect already knew everything about the sword‑trial arena.

Bai Li Zhenren and Elder Ye were on the best terms; he was the first to suggest, "Jiang Yu, I recall she had decent grades as a candidate for the Guard‑Fast selection."

Translation: Bai Li Zhenren and Elder Ye were on the best terms; he first said, "Jiang Yu, I remember she was a promising candidate for the Guard Fast position."

Now, with her having a demonic sect elder brother, this matter concerning the secret‑arts candidacy is no longer suitable for her to have.

Translation: Now, with a demonic sect elder brother involved, this matter concerning the candidate seat for the secret treasury of cultivation methods is no longer suitable for her.

Rather, send her to manage the stone quarry.

Translation: Rather, send her to the Stone Hill Mine to work as a steward.

Another Golden Core cultivator also said, "Speaking of cultivation methods, she seems to be practicing the Dongxuan Lightning Fire Technique, and she has received a share of the authentic transmission."

Translation: Another Golden Core cultivator also said, "As for cultivation methods, she seems to be practicing the Cavern Mystic Thunder Fire Technique and receiving an authentic transmission share."

Dao Xu Senior Brother, do you think we should also abolish her quota?

Translation: "Senior Brother Dao Xu, do you think we should also eliminate her quota?"

"He's just a

Translation: "She's just a little disciple—she hasn't even taken a master, nor does she bear any sect responsibility; is it really worth calling everyone together?"

Everything follows the sect's rules; I'm busy at the Enforcement Hall! Master Chongdao rose to leave, but Dezhang, the senior elder, called out to him, so he sat back down.

Translation: "Just follow the sect rules—I'm busy with the Law Enforcement Hall!" Chong Dao Zhenren rose to leave, but after receiving a mental transmission from Chief Seat De Zhang Zhenren, he sat back down.

"Did Jiang Yu do anything wrong?" Master Daoxu asked the two people earlier.

Translation: "What wrong has Jiang Yu done?" Dao Xu Zhenren asked the two earlier speakers.

Master Hu chuckled, "She is herself, and her brother is her brother."

Translation: Hu Zhenren also chuckled, saying, "She is she, and her brother is her brother."

Does our Tai Xu Sect even lack a direct transmission record? If we publicize it, everyone will laugh that our sect isn't magnanimous.

Translation: "Does our Grand Void Sect still lack an authentic transmission share? If we let it out, others will laugh at us for being narrow‑minded."

May I ask whether the Hehuan Sect would expel that disciple with the surname Jiang? Sister Tan, what do you think?

Translation: "I wonder if the Harmonious Joy Sect would expel that Jiang‑surname disciple—Senior Sister Tan, what do you say?"

"It's up to you to decide," Master Tan said, still thinking about her elixir, not really listening.

Translation: "Just decide as you wish." Tan Zhenren was still preoccupied with her pills and hadn't really listened.

Someone nearby asked, "Brother Dezhang isn't concerned only about this matter, right?"

Translation: Someone nearby asked, "Senior Brother De Zhang, isn't there more to this matter?"

Master Dezhang nodded, "This is the first time the sect has a candidate for the Abstinent Marquis, and there is a matter involving relatives from the Demon Sect."

Translation: De Zhang Zhenren nodded, saying, "This is the first time our sect has seen a Guard Fast candidate with a demonic‑sect relative."

It's certain that the disciple cannot run again; the direct transmission lineage is considered irrelevant, yet she must still receive what is rightfully hers.

Translation: "That disciple certainly cannot continue running for the position; the authentic transmission share is trivial, but what belongs to her must still be given to her."

He glanced at Daoxu, acknowledging that the failure to fully investigate Jiang Yu's background at the start led to this situation.

Translation: He glanced at Dao Xu; indeed, because they had never cleared up Jiang Yu's full background, this situation arose.

Henceforth, anyone whose lineage is uncertain must be declared ineligible for selection.

Translation: From now on, anyone whose background is uncertain cannot be selected.

But Master Dezhang stopped there, saying, "I called everyone here not for such trivial matters."

Translation: But De Zhang Zhenren cut short, saying, "I didn't gather you all for such trivial matters."

It was actually to transport, together with that disciple, a seventh‑stage dragon hatchling that the Dragon Clan has been searching for years.

Translation: Rather, it is the seventh‑stage juvenile that the Dragon Clan has been seeking for years, transmitted together with that disciple.

Now the Dragon Clan possesses a supreme Wind‑Stabilizing Pearl and thirty Dragon‑Saliva herbs, and they wish to borrow Jiang Yu's soul lantern to locate the young dragon; do you think we can lend it?

Translation: Now the Dragon Clan takes the Supreme Stabilizing Wind Pearl and thirty stalks of Dragon Spittle Grass, wishing to borrow Jiang Yu's soul lamp to locate the young dragon's whereabouts—what do you think, can we lend it?

"We won't lend it; how can a soul lantern be given to others? Let the Dragon Clan find their own way."

Translation: "No lending—how can a soul lamp be lent to another? Let the Dragon Clan's people find it themselves."

Our sect's disciple is missing, and the True Lord hasn't even asked for an explanation, yet they come to us.

Translation: "Our sect's disciples are missing, and this true lord hasn't yet gone to demand an explanation, yet they come knocking at our door."

"Are you afraid of a few old dragons?" Lord Sui Lu stepped out of the hall, and the assembled Dan‑binding disciples bowed in unison.

Translation: "Are you afraid of a few old dragons?" Sui Lv Zhenjun walked in from outside the hall, and all the Golden Core cultivators bowed in unison.

He unhesitatingly took the foremost seat and declared, "From today, Jiang Yu becomes a named disciple under our sect."

Translation: He took the main seat without hesitation, declaring, "From today, Jiang Yu becomes my registered disciple."

Everyone was shocked; this is a move to strongly protect that disciple—why?

Translation: Everyone was astonished—this was to protect that disciple; why?

Only Master Daoxu understood that the reason lay in that particular Hunyuan cultivation technique.

Translation: Only Dao Xu Zhenren knew the reason: that very Primordial Unity Technique.

Jiang Yu, who had been recruited remotely, was suddenly awakened by a chill.

Translation: And Jiang Yu, who had been taken as a disciple from afar, was now awakened by a chill.

She opened her eyes to see, a few steps away, two ice wolves stepping in from the left and right, and she didn't notice the cold glint of a sword tip on her back flicker and vanish.

Translation: She opened her eyes to see two ice wolves approaching, one left and one right, tiptoeing forward, and failed to notice the cold flash of the sword tip on her back fading away.

A shiver ran through her; she reached for her storage pouch to retrieve an attack talisman.

Translation: Her heart tightened; she rubbed her storage bag to fetch an attack talisman.

Unexpectedly, my hands and feet stiffened at this moment; a little slower, and the two wolves were already before my eyes.

In a flash, she, with a single thought, brought Jiang Tu flashing into its space; fortunately, during the transmission, Jiang Tu flopped into her sleeve pocket.

And she possesses a large half of the permissions to the Dragon Pearl space opened by Jiang Tu; although she cannot make it fly, she can, via the soul-spirit contract chain, control the space to escape into the ground.

However, when she entered, she unexpectedly also brought in the little dragon king that had been netted.

Alas, looking at the Dragon Stele's surveillance, those two wolves, unwilling to give up, kept searching for her, yet feeling soft-hearted, she didn't throw out the little dragon king that looked like a few-year-old child.

Earlier she said she couldn't rely on the space for everything, but now it's a large-scale true fragrance scene.

Jiang Yu swiftly circulated her spiritual power to dispel the stiffness, and quickly laid out a Yellow Spring Formation around the unconscious little dragon king to isolate his scrutiny of the space.

It's a pity her Four Symbols Formation was mysteriously destroyed.

After finishing the defenses, she hurriedly fed her companion medicinal pills, calling 'Jiang Tu.'

As a result, after feeding him the Little Return Pill, the Concentrating Spirit Pill, the Nourishing Spirit Pill, and the Spirit Beast Pill, he still didn't wake up.

Jiang Yu felt that its soul and spirit were fine, and the examination showed no external injury, so she placed some spirit stones beside it.

Looking outside again, it was a world of ice and snow, the wolves had vanished, and having stayed in the southwest for too long, her fur-lined robes were not thick enough.

She had no choice but to take out the stored hides, on the spot make two leather jackets to change into, then check the little dragon king, and kindly fed him two medicinal pills.

Flashing out of the space, outside it was truly cold enough to freeze the heart and lungs, with no temperature below minus several tens of degrees letting up.

Jiang Yu remembered that the materials wrote that near the Myriad Sword Sect and the Myriad Demon Mountain, there were no large snow mountains.
