we have forged three hundred and seventy-eight Guardian Colossi!

If you think you can breach them,

you are utterly mistaken!

Withdraw your forces right now,

and you may still preserve some face.

Once you are routed in a few moments,

you will inevitably suffer catastrophic casualties...

T/N: 损兵折将 (Sǔnbīng zhéjiàng: Losing Troops and Commanders). A classical idiom denoting catastrophic military defeat where both rank-and-file soldiers and commanding generals perish.

My fair maiden,

it is all up to you now.

Holy Maiden of the Chrono-Forged Clan

T/N: 铸辰族圣女 (Holy Maiden of the Chrono-Forged Clan). The sacred spiritual leader of the Chrono-Forged Clan who wields the sovereign master control token over the clan's mechanical colossi. Master Seventh secretly formed an alliance with her, turning their weapons against the Sea Corpses.

shall immediately fight shoulder-to-shoulder with Seven Blood Eyes!

Slaughter every last member of the Sea Corpse Race!

And the moment our colossi took the field,

they were no longer under the control of my Sea Corpse Race!

Every single step was interlocking and flawlessly calculated!

T/N: 环环相扣 (Huánhuán xiāngkòu: Flawlessly Interlocking). A classical strategy idiom meaning links of a chain interlocking seamlessly, where every calculated tactical phase inevitably triggers the next.

The Sea Corpse Race's morale has completely collapsed.

The time has come.

Master Seventh commands:

All forces, charge!

Kill!

Raze the Sea Corpse Royal Capital!

Any who resist...

leave not a single one alive!

Do not retreat!

Hold!

What is happening?!

Look over there!

What is that?!

Half an incense stick earlier than anticipated...

T/N: 比预计快了半分 (Half a Fraction Earlier than Expected). Master Seventh anticipated the Seven Sect Alliance would dispatch an intervention edict to halt Seven Blood Eyes from destroying the Sea Corpse Race, and deliberately timed his campaign to secure his hidden objectives before they could arrive.

and defeat would bring no grace.

T/N: 胜亦不武，败亦无光 (Victory Brings No Honor, Defeat Brings No Grace). A classical diplomatic proverb asserting that a war between regional neighbors yields no genuine glory for the victor and only humiliation for the vanquished.

Today, the feast is on my tab!

No way, no way, let me pay!

The war...

is really over.

Fellow Daoist Xue Lian is far too polite.

Eastnether Isle

congratulates Seven Blood Eyes in the war against the Sea Corpse Race

on securing total victory!

In the battle on the Sea Corpse main island,

the Seven Sect Alliance intervened too fast.

Going forward,

how do you plan to handle them?

They forcibly slashed the Sea Corpse Race's war reparations.

Their goal is balance,

and a sharp warning.

However, our true focus...

has always been the Corpse Ancestor statues.

T/N: 尸祖神像 (Corpse Ancestor Statue). Seven Blood Eyes' hidden strategic goal from the start was never mere spirit stone reparations, but securing the ancestral statues of the Sea Corpse Race to prepare for their eventual migration toward the Revered Ancient mainland (Novel Ch 220-222).

The personnel from the Fifth Peak

are already making secret preparations within Sea Corpse territory.

That is wonderful then.

It's just that from here on out,

things are bound to get quite lively on your end.

The more lively it gets here,

the better it serves to conceal our sect's

true schemes in the Sea Corpse homeland.

Come, have some tea.

I heard that a while ago, my little granddaughter

made a friend named Xu Qing.

I've heard that this Xu Qing boy is quite exceptional.

Allow me to present him with a gift.

That boy takes after me;

T/N: 此子类我 (This Boy Takes After Me). Grand Ancestor Xue Lianzi proudly claims Xu Qing resembles himself in ruthlessness, decisive killing, and calculating brilliance.

a young chosen prodigy indeed.

Grandmother!

How come you've come?!

Lately, you've been...

Grandmother!

I want to marry Xu Qing!

You...

Impudent!

In the presence of our seniors,

what nonsense are you spouting?!

I'm not spouting nonsense!

In my eyes, in this entire world,

he is the only one worthy of me!

Grandmother,

if it isn't Xu Qing, I will marry no one!

T/N: 非卿不嫁 (Marrying None Other Than Xu Qing). A passionate classical declaration of matrimonial devotion, showcasing Yan Yan's intense and obsessive infatuation with Xu Qing.

Fellow Daoist Xue Lian,

when you have time later,

might this old woman

meet with young Xu Qing?

Easily arranged.

Easily arranged!

The Red Sea Clan visits Seven Blood Eyes!

The Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox Clan has arrived!

T/N: 六尾天狐族 (Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox Clan). A noble spiritual beast clan possessing ancient fox demon bloodlines.

The Lingyuan Sect

congratulates Seven Blood Eyes

on its triumphant return!

So lively!

So noisy.

Little Ah Qing!

Wait up for me!

Captain,

do you really have nothing better to do?

You've been following me the whole way.

I'm just worried that among the visiting guests,

some shady characters might sneak in with ill intentions toward you!

I'm staying close specifically to protect you!

Xu Qing! Xu Qing!

Captain's here too!

Look at you, grinning from ear to ear!

T/N: 眉飞色舞 (Méifēi sèwǔ: Grinning from Ear to Ear / Eyebrows Dancing with Joy). An idiom describing someone brimming with exultant delight, their face beaming with excitement.

Did some female cultivator take a fancy to you?

Nobody fancying me, that's for sure.

However, I just heard from a junior brother on duty at the Fourth Peak...

that Yan Yan girl,

the granddaughter of Master Dongyou,

has already proposed marriage to our Grand Ancestor!

She wants to marry Xu Qing!

What?!

Holy crap!

You've got a leaky mouth!

T/N: 嘴漏 (Zuǐlòu: Leaky Mouth / Big Mouth). A slang expression for someone who can't keep a secret and immediately blabs gossip to everyone.

Xu Qing...

Yan Yan...

You, come over here!

Little Ah Qing,

what kind of trick did you pull?

You're practically about to surpass Third Highness!

T/N: 三殿下 (Third Highness). The playboy Third Martial Brother of the Seventh Peak, renowned across the sect for seducing countless wealthy female cultivators.

Utterly absurd.

Wait, wait, wait!

Do you have any idea what kind of strength Master Dongyou possesses?!

I don't.

The exact same as our Grand Ancestor:

the Great Void Returning Realm!

No, listen!

Do you even know what the Great Void Returning Realm means?!

Even when compared with the combat prowess

of those ancestors from the Seven Sect Alliance,

that old lady wouldn't yield an inch!

T/N: 不遑多让 (Bùhuáng duōràng: Yielding Nothing in Comparison). A classical idiom meaning to be in no way inferior, matching another powerhouse blow-for-blow.

If you marry into her family...

Ptui, ptui, ptui!

If you marry Yan Yan,

why would I ever need to risk my neck again?!

From then on,

just serving you hand and foot every day would be enough!

When that time comes, I won't even bother upgrading my dharmaboat anymore;

I'll just dedicate myself to serving you alone!

I have zero interest.

Let me go talk some sense into him.

Junior Brother Xu,

as someone who has walked this road before...

T/N: 过来人 (Guòláirén: Someone Who Has Walked This Road). An experienced elder or peer offering veteran perspective on love, marriage, and sect politics.

What a massive bird!

That's a crane!

An immortal crane!

Taisi Immortal Sect Delegation

T/N: 太司仙门 (Taisi Immortal Sect). An ancient and extremely prestigious immortal cultivation power on the Revered Ancient mainland whose foundational heritage and wealth rival or even slightly surpass the Seven Sect Alliance.

The Taisi Immortal Sect of the Revered Ancient mainland

comes to visit Seven Blood Eyes!

Talk about impressive!

The Taisi Immortal Sect...

They seem filthy rich.

Fellow Daoists,

right this way, please.

Third Bro,

your elder brother has a piece of vital intelligence:

I'll sell it to you for three hundred thousand spirit stones.

Don't worry,

you definitely won't lose out!

Have the Transportation Division send people over

to study the construction of the Taisi Immortal Sect's Great Wing,

T/N: 大翼 (Dàyì: Great Wing). Flying dreadnoughts and colossal aerial mounts utilized by mainland sects for long-distance oceanic travel across the Forbidden Sea.

and figure out how it was refined.

Captain,

how come I've never heard of the Taisi Immortal Sect?

As for this question...

its value is...

This Taisi Immortal Sect

is a superpower on the Revered Ancient mainland.

All you need to remember

is that its overall strength

is faintly even half a notch superior

to our supervisory upper sect, the Seven Sect Alliance.

The Seven Sect Alliance...

Supervisory sect...

What is going on?!

Elder!

The sect defensive array has been breached!

A squadron...

Stand down.

Yes!

An upper sect truly is an upper sect.

Back then, we risked life and limb through nine deaths and one life

only to earn three tolls of the sect bells.

T/N: 九死一生 (Jiǔsǐ yīshēng: Nine Deaths and One Life) & 三钟声鸣 (Three Tolls of the Bells). An idiom meaning a near-fatal ordeal with only a one-in-ten chance of survival. In Seven Blood Eyes, tolling the great sect bell is an extraordinary honor reserved for supreme merit, normally granted in tiers of three.

Yet now, when these people from the upper sects arrive,

they casually ignore our grand sect array,

and brazenly trigger nine tolls of the bell on their own authority!

T/N: 自启九道钟鸣 (Triggering Nine Bell Tolls on Their Own). Nine is the supreme sovereign number in ancient Chinese numerology (九为数之极). Triggering nine tolls uninvited is a deliberate assertion of absolute overlordship over Seven Blood Eyes.

If nobody gives them pomp, they create it themselves;

if there's no pedestal, they build one themselves.

T/N: 没台阶自己造 (Building One's Own Pedestal). A humorous adaptation of the idiom "找台阶下" (finding a step down to save face), mocking the upper sect for manufacturing their own grand spectacle to intimidate Seven Blood Eyes.

There really is nowhere to reason with them.

The Seven Sect Alliance...

just how powerful are they?

Actually,

the entire Seven Sect Alliance

does not consist of only seven sects.

It governs one hundred and thirty-seven small and medium subordinate sects;

Seven Blood Eyes is merely one among them.

And the seven leader sects at the apex

correspond one-to-one with the Seven Peaks of our Seven Blood Eyes.

The techniques cultivated across our Seven Peaks

were all passed down originally by these seven sects,

only at a lower, foundational tier.

The reason these seven sects stand as supreme champions,

aside from each possessing Void Returning combat power,

is that every single one of them holds a Taboo Magical Treasure!

T/N: 七宗与七峰 (The Seven Supervisory Sects). The seven leader sects of the Alliance correspond 1-to-1 with the Seven Peaks: 1st Peak: Soaring Cloud Sword Sect (凌云剑宗); 2nd Peak: Spiritgloam Valley (灵霞谷); 3rd Peak: House of Grue Hunters (猎异门); 4th Peak: Lunisolar Dao Palace (大衍道宫); 5th Peak: Heaven-Fate Pavilion (天命阁); 6th Peak: Heavenmirror Treasure Sect (天鉴宝宗); 7th Peak: Dark Serenity Sect (玄幽宗) (Novel Ch 236).

Third Bro knows all about this.

Taboo Magical Treasures...

Well...

from what I know,

Taboo Magical Treasures

is the designation for magical treasures that have reached a transcendent tier.

Every single Taboo Magical Treasure possesses the might to annihilate an entire sect!

T/N: 禁忌法宝 (Taboo Magical Treasures). Transcendent weapons that have reached the pinnacle of destructive power. Wielding immense mutagen and catastrophic Dao laws, each taboo treasure possesses power capable of obliterating an entire cultivation sect from existence (Novel Ch 236).

However, because mutagen contamination within them is so severe,

none of the sects will ever deploy them lightly.

Yet merely serving as a deterrent

is more than enough to dominate across Revered Ancient.

Look!

They're coming out!

Huang Yikun Four-Flame Great Circle Dark Serenity Sect Chosen

T/N: 黄一坤 (Huang Yikun) & 玄幽宗 (Dark Serenity Sect / Xuanyou Sect). Chosen of the Dark Serenity Sect, the supervisory upper sect of Seven Blood Eyes' Seventh Peak. He is at the Four-Flame Great Circle (all 120 dharma apertures unlocked; Novel Ch 229, 236).

Call forth the strongest fighter your sect has!

I want to fight ten of them!

T/N: 我要打十个 (I Want to Fight Ten!). A humorous nod to Ip Man's famous martial arts line, illustrating Huang Yikun's arrogant disdain toward lower-sect disciples.

I hope this journey...

will let us play to our heart's content.

Sima Ling Four-Flame Great Circle House of Grue Hunters Chosen

T/N: 司马陵 (Sima Ling). Chosen of the House of Grue Hunters (supervisory sect of Third Peak), who came to South Phoenix to traffic Living Treasures before his guest elder was slain by Xu Qing (Novel Ch 229).

Junior Sister Yun's melody...

could it be intentionally dedicated to me?

Every single one of them dressed up so smugly;

T/N: 人模狗样 (Rénmó gǒuyàng: Dressed Up Like a Human, Behaving Like a Dog). A colloquial Chinese insult mocking haughty hypocrites who put on pretentious airs while acting despicable underneath.

they really know how to put on a show!

T/N: 装 (Zhuāng: Putting On Airs / Posturing). A colloquial Chinese expression describing someone blatantly pretending to be grand, aloof, or superior.

Every single one of them is at Four-Flame cultivation!

As expected of the upper sect Chosen!

Look at that!

What is that?!

Ten thousand zhang of brilliant multi-colored haze!

Th-This is...

this...

Greetings, Dao Child!

Well, would you look at that!

T/N: 居高临下 (Jūgāo línxià: Looking Down from on High / Condescending). An idiom describing someone occupying a supreme vantage point and staring down haughtily at those below.

Upon arriving, instead of paying respects to our Peaklords,

they bow down to welcome their own Dao Child!

They clearly don't place our Seven Blood Eyes in their eyes at all!

T/N: 没放在眼里 (Not Placing Someone in One's Eyes). A Chinese idiom meaning to treat someone with total disdain and utter contempt, disregarding their very existence.

Dao Child?

a Life Lamp!

T/N: 灭蒙 (Miemeng / Ravagemist Bird). A mythical bird from the Classic of Mountains and Seas (山海经) with a blue-green body and crimson tail feathers. Wielded here as the manifested phantom spirit of an Imperial-Class cultivation legacy (Novel Ch 236).

The Golden Crow...

is reacting!

What a colossal procession this person brings!
