méi yǒu qǐ dào rèn hé zǔ gé de xiào guǒ ， zuì zhōng nà jù jiàn hái shì zhǎn shàng le xuán wō 。
没有起到任何阻隔的效果，最终那巨剑还是斩上了漩涡。
No barrier was effective, and the giant sword eventually cut through the vortex.
xiān shì bǐ qíng tiān pī lì gèng xiǎng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， suí hòu nà shēng yīn yòu biàn dé jiān ruì cì ěr qǐ lái le ， fǎng fú bù jǐn bèi sī pò 。
先是比晴天霹雳更响的声音传入耳朵，随后那声音又变得尖锐刺耳起来了，仿佛布锦被撕破。
First came a sound louder than a thunderclap in the sky. Then it became sharp and piercing, as if a piece of cloth had been torn apart.
lín xuān wú jīng wú xǐ ， dàn yuè shì zhè fú biǎo qíng ， fǎn ér yuè fā de xiǎn de zhì zhū zài wò 。 tā de dí jiǎo biān chōng mǎn le zì xìn zhī sè ， shuāng shǒu shèn zhì dōu dào bèi dào shēn hòu qù le 。
林轩无惊无喜，但越是这幅表情，反而越发的显得智珠在握。他的嘀角边充满了自信之色，双手甚至都倒背到身后去了。
Lin Xuan remained unperturbed, his expression showing no surprise or joy. The more he looked like this, the more confident he seemed to be. His horns were filled with confidence, and his hands were even crossed behind his back.
guǒ bù qí rán ， nà xuán wō jǐn jǐn dǐ dǎng le piàn kè de gōng fu ， jiù bèi jù jiàn sī pò ， xiān shì yī dào liè wén chū xiàn le ， suí hòu yuè lái yuè dà ， zhí zhì bèi zhǎn wèi liǎng bàn 。
果不其然，那漩涡仅仅抵挡了片刻的功夫，就被巨剑撕破，先是一道裂纹出现了，随后越来越大，直至被斩为两半。
Sure enough, after just a moment, the vortex was torn open by the giant sword. A crack appeared first, then grew larger until it was cut in half.
rú guǒ néng gòu dé dào tiān dì yuán qì de bǔ chōng ， xuán wō “ shāng shì ” suī zhòng ， dàn yě kě yǐ màn màn huī fù de ， kě cǐ shí cǐ yǎo ·1， suǒ yǒu de shuǐ yuán qì dōu pǎo dào lín xuān nà lǐ qù le
如果能够得到天地元气的补充，漩涡“伤势”虽重，但也可以慢慢恢复的，可此时此杳·1，所有的水元气都跑到林轩那里去了
If the vortices could receive replenishment from primordial energy of heaven and earth, their injuries would heal over time. But at this moment, all the water essence had gone to Lin Xuan.
jiè huā xiàn fó ， fǎn ér chéng le gōng jī gǔ běn tǐ zhī wù 。
借花献佛，反而成了攻击牯本体之物。
By giving back what he received, he inadvertently turned into an attack on his own body.
cóng fǎ lì lái shuō ， lín xuān bǐ bù shàng jìn bǎi yuán yīng xiū shì de jí hé ， dàn tā bì jìng shì lí hé qī xiū xiān zhě ， néng gòu chū bù chù mō dào tiān dì fǎ zé ， suī rán jǐn jǐn shì pí máo ér yǐ ， dàn néng gòu diào dòng tiān dì yuán qì ， yìng fù yǎn qián de jú miàn jiù chuò chuò yǒu yú 。
从法力来说，林轩比不上近百元婴修士的集合，但他毕竟是离合期修仙者，能够初步触摸到天地法则，虽然仅仅是皮毛而已，但能够调动天地元气，应付眼前的局面就绰绰有余。
From a magical power standpoint, Lin Xuan was no match for a hundred Incorporeal Stage cultivators combined. However, as a Separation Stage cultivator, he could touch upon the laws of heaven and earth to some extent. Although it was just a superficial understanding, he could still mobilize primordial energy to handle this situation.
jǐn jǐn yī jī ， lín xuān jiù jiāng xuán wō sī pò ， dé bú dào fù jìn shuǐ yuán qì de bǔ chōng ， zhè tiān jié xiāo qù bù guò shì shí jiān wèn tí 。
仅仅一击，林轩就将漩涡撕破，得不到附近水元气的补充，这天劫消去不过是时间问题。
With one strike, Lin Xuan tore through the vortex; without nearby water essence for replenishment, dissipating this heavenly tribulation would be only a matter of time.
yuǎn chù ， zhū nǚ de liǎn shàng mǎn shì jīng hài zhī sè ， yòu shì xiàn mù ， yòu shì pèi fú ， bǎi nián qián de nà yī yì zhōng ， tā men yě yǒu xìng jiàn guò lí hé xiū shì chū shǒu ， dàn yǔ yǎn qián de lín xuān xiāng bǐ 「 sì hū yě yào xùn sè yī xiē 。
远处，诸女的脸上满是惊骇之色，又是羡慕，又是佩服，百年前的那一役中，她们也有幸见过离合修士出手，但与眼前的林轩相比「似乎也要逊色一些。
Far away, the faces of the women were filled with shock and admiration. They envied and admired him, remembering how they had witnessed Separation Stage cultivators in action a century ago. Compared to Lin Xuan, even then seemed somewhat inferior.
guài bù dé dà shī jiě céng shuō ， zhè wèi lín qián bèi hái shì yuán yīng de shí hòu jiù néng lì dí lí hé ， yuán běn zhòng rén dí shàng suī rán bù shuō ， xīn zhōng duō shǎo què yǒu xiē bù xìn de ， méi xiǎng dào shì shí zhēn shì rú cǐ 。
怪不得大师姐曾说，这位林前辈还是元婴的时候就能力敌离合，原本众人嘀上虽然不说，心中多少却有些不信的，没想到事实真是如此。
No wonder Senior Sister had said that this senior Lin could match a Separation Stage cultivator when he was still an Incorporeal. The others had not openly doubted it but secretly believed otherwise. They were surprised to find out the truth.
shèng míng zhī xià wú xū shì !
盛名之下无虚士!
A name in good repute is worth its weight in gold.
yě bù zhī dào zhè wèi lín qián bèi xǐ hào rú hé ， jiū jìng yǒu lián yǒu shuāng xiū dào lǚ 。
也不知道这位林前辈喜好如何，究竟有涟有双修道侣。
Lin Xuan did not interfere, just watching as the two monsters fought each other.
qí shí yǒu yě méi yǒu guān xì ， zhè yàng de qiáng zhě ， gěi tā zuò qiè yě bù suàn wěi qū 。
其实有也没有关系，这样的强者，给他做妾也不算委屈。
Half an hour passed quickly.
sú huà shuō ， měi nǚ ài yīng xióng ， zhè jù huà zài xiū xiān jiè tóng yàng shì yòng 。
俗话说，美女爱英雄，这句话在修仙界同样适用。
The original hundred-foot-long heavenly tribulation dragon was now reduced to a mere two feet. The heads of the beast had lost their ferocity and were filled with panic. Lin Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of amusement appeared on his lips. This creature seemed to have even higher intelligence than he had imagined.
tiān yá hǎi gé shōu tú de tiáo jiàn kē gǔ ·1， zhòng yuán yīng qī zhǎng lǎo zhōng kān chēng jué sè gé suī rán bù duō ， dàn yī yǎn wàng qù ， láng yān féi shòu ， què shì gè zhǒng měi nǚ dōu yǒu 。
天涯海阁收徒的条件苛古·1，众元婴期长老中堪称绝色格虽然不多，但一眼望去，琅嫣肥瘦，却是各种美女都有。
What good fortune!
kě xī lín xuān bú shì hào sè zhī tú ， cǐ shí cǐ 3·1， tā bù guò shì xiǎng shì shì zì jǐ shí lì rú hé ， kě bìng bú shì wèi gōng lái zhè lǐ bǎi xiǎn lái zhe 。
可惜林轩不是好色之徒，此时此3·1，他不过是想试试自己实力如何，可并不是为工来这里摆显来着。
Just as Lin Xuan thought this, a glint of light flashed in the dragon's eye. It spat out several wind blades before swishing its tail and darting leftward.
yāo jié de gēn běn yǐ bèi tā yī jiàn zhǎn pò ， shèng xià de biàn shì nà shuǐ yuán qì suǒ xíng chéng de jié lóng 。
夭劫的根本已被他一剑斩破，剩下的便是那水元气所形成的劫龙。
"Think you can escape so easily?" Lin Xuan smirked, raising his hand to grab at the creature mid-air.
bì huàn yōu huǒ zhèng yǔ gǔ dòu dé bù yì lè hū 。
碧幻幽火正与牯斗得不亦乐乎。
Pfft!
cóng tǐ jī lái shuō ， liǎng zhě gēn běn jiù bú shì yí gè shù liàng jí ， nà jié lóng shēn cháng bǎi zhàng yǒu yú ， huǒ niǎo de yì zhǎn bù guò shì gǔ de shí fēn zhī yī 。
从体积来说，两者根本就不是一个数量级，那劫龙身长百丈有余，火鸟的翼展不过是牯的十分之一。
A shimmering green net appeared, also made from primordial energy of heaven and earth, enveloping a space about half an acre in radius. The dragon had no time to react as it was slammed into the net. Lin Xuan nodded with satisfaction, closing his hands and firing off a spell.
kàn shàng qù ， jiù fǎng fú máo lǘ yǔ yī tiáo xiǎo gǒu de chā jù ， kě shí lì rú hé ， bìng bú shì tǐ jī dà xiǎo kě yǐ jué dìng de 。
看上去，就仿佛毛驴与一条小狗的差距，可实力如何，并不是体积大小可以决定的。
"Seize!"
èr de mì shù 。
二的秘术。
The shimmering green net tightened instantly. More terrifyingly, the surface of the net transformed into sharp blades.
ér qiě tūn shì le tiān jié zhī huǒ ， bù jiǔ qián yòu jiāng wàn nián shī huǒ róng hé ， qí wēi lì zhī qiáng ， yǐ
而且吞噬了天劫之火，不久前又将万年尸火融合，其威力之强，已
This was a secret technique that only Separation Stage cultivators could master—converting primordial energy to any shape according to one's will.
nán yǐ xiǎng xiàng 。
难以想象。
The dragon's eyes filled with fear as it struggled desperately. But it was useless; she was already very weak. If she could escape, Lin Xuan would rather just buy himself a tofu and smash his head against the wall.
zhǐ jiàn tiān kōng zhòng fēng qǐ yún yǒng ， yī dào hēi guāng ， yī zhěn lǜ máng ， hù xiāng zhuī zhú chán dòu ， kāi shǐ de shí hòu ， hái nán yǐ kàn chū shuí gèng qiáng yī xiē ， sì hū shì jūn lì dí 。
只见天空中风起云涌，一道黑光，一缜绿芒，互相追逐缠斗，开始的时候，还难以看出谁更强一些，似乎势均力敌。
"Combine!"
kě suí zhe shí jiān de tuī yí ， nà jié lóng dé bú dào tiān dì yuán qì bǔ chōng ， tǐ jī kāi shǐ màn màn suō xiǎo ， yǔ zhī bàn suí de shì qì shì yě rú yǐng suí xíng ， tóng yàng jiǎn ruò le xià qù 。
可随着时间的推移，那劫龙得不到天地元气补充，体积开始慢慢缩小，与之伴随的是气势也如影随形，同样减弱了下去。
Lin Xuan fired another spell, and the dragon was cut into countless pieces.
ér bì huàn yōu huǒ bù tóng ， zhǔ rén jiù zài shēn cè ， néng gòu suí shí dé dào zhǔ rén fǎ lì yǔ tiān dì yuán qì de bǔ chōng ……
而碧幻幽火不同，主人就在身侧，能够随时得到主人法力与天地元气的补充……
From its body, a white sphere flew out.
cǐ xiāo bǐ zhǎng ， shèng fù rú hé ， zì rán shì zài míng xiǎn bù guò ， shéi dōu néng yī yǎn kàn de qīng qīng chǔ chǔ 。
此消彼长，胜负如何，自然是再明显不过，谁都能一眼看得清清楚楚。
Inside the sphere was a miniature version of the two-headed dragon.
yuǎn chù ， sān wèi dà xiū xiān zhě duì jì yī yǎn ， tóng shí sōng le kǒu qì ， xiàn zài ， tā men xīn zhōng de yī kuài dà shí cái zǒng suàn luò dì 。
远处，三位大修仙者对记一眼，同时松了口气，现在，她们心中的一块大石才总算落地。
This must be the essence of the heavenly tribulation dragon.
lín xuān yě bù chā shǒu ， jiù zhè yàng kàn zhe liǎng tóu guài wù xiāng dòu 。
林轩也不插手，就这样看着两头怪物相斗。
Without Lin Xuan's command, the phoenix's eyes lit up with joy. It spread its wings and flew over to swallow the light ball whole.
bàn gè shí chén hěn kuài jiù guò qù le 。
半个时辰很快就过去了。
It then belched contentedly, closing its eyes in satisfaction.
yuán běn shēn cháng bǎi zhàng de jié lóng ， rú jīn zhǐ shèng xià liǎng zhàng zuǒ yòu ， gǔ de liǎng kē tóu lú ， yǎn zhōng zǎo méi yǒu le zhēng níng zhī sè ， qǔ ér dài zhī de shì huāng zhāng shǎn shuò ， lín xuān yǎn jīng wēi mī ， zuǐ jiǎo biān bù yóu de liú lù chū le jǐ fēn xiào yì ， zhè jiā huo de líng zhì ， sì hū bǐ zì jǐ xiǎng xiàng de hái yào gèng gāo yī xiē 。
原本身长百丈的劫龙，如今只剩下两丈左右，牯的两颗头颅，眼中早没有了狰狞之色，取而代之的是慌张闪烁，林轩眼睛微眯，嘴角边不由得流露出了几分笑意，这家伙的灵智，似乎比自己想象的还要更高一些。
Lin Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, observing silently but with a thoughtful expression on his face.
yùn qì zhēn bù cuò !
运气真不错!
Far away, Su Jingchun also arrived with two other high-ranking cultivators. Although Lin Xuan and his uncle had an unusually close relationship, they still needed to thank him for resolving the crisis.
lín xuān gāng zhè yàng xiǎng zhe ， nà jié lóng yǎn zhōng jīng máng shǎn guò ， pēn chū jǐ dào fēng rèn hòu ， wěi ba yī shuǎi ， yǐ xiàng zuǒ cè cuàn qù le 。
林轩刚这样想着，那劫龙眼中精芒闪过，喷出几道风刃后，尾巴一甩，已像左侧窜去了。
But just as this was happening, the entire Yongzhou Island suddenly began to tremble without any warning.
“ xiǎng zǒu ， nǎ yǒu nà me qīng sōng ？” lín xuān zuǐ jiǎo biān lù chū yī sī jī cháo zhī sè ， zuǒ shǒu tái qǐ ， líng kōng xiàng duì fāng zhuā qù 。
“想走，哪有那么轻松？”林轩嘴角边露出一丝讥嘲之色，左手抬起，凌空像对方抓去。
The primordial energy that had settled down started to gather again, forming various sized light orbs in front of everyone's eyes.
pū chī yī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， yī zhāng bì guāng shǎn shǎn de dà wǎng píng kōng chū xiàn le ， bú yòng shuō 「 yě shì tiān dì yuán qì suǒ jù ， jiāng fāng yuán bàn mǔ zuǒ yòu de kōng jiān ， quán bù lǒng zhào zài le lǐ miàn 。
噗嗤一声传入耳朵，一张碧光闪闪的大网凭空出现了，不用说「也是天地元气所聚，将方圆半亩左右的空间，全部笼罩在了里面。
Even high-ranking cultivators like Su Jingchun were taken aback. This was not surprising; after just experiencing a heavenly tribulation, the terrifying image still lingered in their minds.
biàn qǐ cāng chǔ ， nà jié lóng gēn běn lěi bù jí fǎn yìng shén me ， yī tóu biàn zhuàng jìn lǐ miàn qù le 。 lín xuān diǎn diǎn tóu ， liǎn shàng lù chū mǎn yì zhī sè ， shuāng shǒu yī wò ， yī dào fǎ jué dǎ chū 。“ shōu D”
变起仓储，那劫龙根本耒不及反应什么，一头便撞进里面去了。林轩点点头，脸上露出满意之色，双手一握，一道法诀打出。“收D”
Could it be… another heavenly tribulation?
suí zhe tā yī shēng qīng hē ， nà bì guāng shǎn shǎn de dà wǎng dùn shí jǐn suō ， gèng jiā kě pà de shì ， nà wǎng dōu de biǎo miàn ， jū rán biàn huà chū xuě liàng de dāo fēng 。
随着他一声轻喝，那碧光闪闪的大网顿时紧缩，更加可怕的是，那网兜的表面，居然变化出雪亮的刀锋。
Compared to the other women, Lin Xuan seemed more composed. It wasn't only due to his strength but also his personality.
zhè yě shì lí hé qī xiū shì cái néng zhǎng wò de mì shù ， tiān dì yuán qì wèi wǒ suǒ yòng ， néng gòu àn xīn yì huàn huà chū rèn hé xíng zhuàng de bǎo wù 。
这也是离合期修士才能掌握的秘术，天地元气为我所用，能够按心意幻化出任何形状的宝物。
Even if real danger came, panicking wouldn't solve anything.
jié lóng yǎn zhōng mǎn shì wèi jù zhī sè ， pīn mìng de zhēng zhá qǐ lái le ， kě méi yǒu yòng ， rú jīn tā yǐ fēi cháng xū ruò ， rú guǒ hái néng táo tuō ， lín xuān gān cuì qù shì sú mǎi kuài dòu fǔ zhuàng sǐ dé le 。
劫龙眼中满是畏惧之色，拼命的挣扎起来了，可没有用，如今她已非常虚弱，如果还能逃脱，林轩干脆去世俗买块豆腐撞死得了。
Lin Xuan's expression remained calm as he released his divine sense.
“ hé !”
“合!”
Soon, Lin Xuan opened his eyes again, no longer showing any worry.
lín xuān yòu shì yī dào fǎ jué dǎ chū ， dāo guāng yào yǎn ， nà jié lóng yǐ jīng bèi líng chí chéng wú shù piàn 。
林轩又是一道法诀打出，刀光耀眼，那劫龙已经被凌迟成无数片。
"Auntie, how is it? Is it not a heavenly tribulation?" Su Jingchun asked with a slight smile.
cóng ↑ yě de shēn tǐ zhèng zhōng ， què fēi shè chū yī bái sè de
从↑也的身体正中，却飞射出一白色的
"Of course not. I must congratulate the Sea of Heaven Pavilion," Lin Xuan said with a hint of amusement on his lips.
yuán qiú 。
圆球。
"Congratulations to the Sea of Heaven Pavilion?"
zài yuán qiú lǐ miàn ， bāo zhuāng lǎo yī mí nǐ bǎn de shuāng shǒu jiāo lóng 。
在圆球里面，包装老一迷你版的双首蛟龙。
Su Jingchun was taken aback, then her face lit up with joy.
zhè zì rán shì jié lóng de jīng huá le jī
这自然是劫龙的精华了唧
"Noted. It seems you guessed it as well..."
yě bù yòng lín xuān qū shǐ ， nà huǒ niǎo de yǎn zhōng lù chū kuáng xǐ zhī yì ， shuāng chì yī shàn ， biàn fēi le guò qù ， yī kǒu jiāng guāng qiú tūn rù dù lǐ 。
也不用林轩驱使，那火鸟的眼中露出狂喜之意，双翅一扇，便飞了过去，一口将光球吞入肚里。
Before he could finish, a thunderous sound echoed through the air, far louder than any previous thunderclap. Primordial energy began flooding into Phoenix Peak.
suí hòu hái dǎ le yí gè bǎo gé ， mī zhe shuāng yǎn ， yī fù xiǎng shòu yǐ jí de shén sè 。
随后还打了一个饱嗝，眯着双眼，一副享受以极的神色。
Despite their low voices, they were not whispering; all present were high-ranking cultivators and could hear every word clearly.
lín xuān shuāng shǒu dào bèi ， xuán fú zài yī cè ， shén me yě méi shuō ， dàn liǎn shàng què lù chū ruò yǒu suǒ sī zhī sè 。
林轩双手倒背，悬浮在一侧，什么也没说，但脸上却露出若有所思之色。
The women, who had undergone rigorous cultivation to reach this stage, could easily understand the implications of what was happening.
yuǎn chù ， sū jiàng chún yě dài zhe lìng liǎng míng dà xiū shì fēi le guò lái ， suī rán lín xuān yǔ shī shū guān xì fēi tóng yī bān ， dàn yú qíng sì lǐ ， yě yào xiè xiè tā huà jiě wēi jī 。
远处，苏绛唇也带着另两名大修士飞了过来，虽然林轩与师叔关系非同一般，但于情寺理，也要谢谢他化解危机。
Their faces showed a mix of shock and joy. The fear had vanished, replaced by anticipation as they stared at Phoenix Peak with wide eyes.
rán ér jiù zài zhè shí ， zhěng gè yíng zhōu dǎo ， tū rán háo méi zhēng zhào de hào dǒu qǐ lái 。
然而就在这时，整个瀛洲岛，突然毫没征兆的颢抖起来。
Lin Xuan's expression changed; he was relieved but also concerned. Good things come after much effort. Sister finally succeeded in her advancement, and now it was the final moment. This process would be a great opportunity for him.
yuán běn yǐ jīng píng jìng xià qù de tiān dì líng qì ， yòu kāi shǐ fēng kuáng de cháo zhe zhè biān níng jù ， yí gè gè dà xiǎo bù yī de guāng tuán ， chóng xīn chū xiàn zài zhòng rén de yǎn lǐ 。
原本已经平静下去的天地灵气，又开始疯狂的朝着这边凝聚，一个个大小不一的光团，重新出现在众人的眼里。
After all, there were only a few Separation Stage cultivators across the Twelve States of Heaven Cloud. Even counting on one hand, this was rare. The chance to witness someone's晋级过程更是难得。
bié shuō pǔ tōng de zhǎng lǎo le ， biàn shì sū jiàng chún děng sān míng yuán yīng hòu qī de dà xiū xiān zhě ， yě wú bù hài rán shī sè ， zhè yě shì nán guài de 。
别说普通的长老了，便是苏绛唇等三名元婴后期的大修仙者，也无不骇然失色，这也是难怪的。
This would greatly benefit his future cultivation. Lin Xuan closed his eyes and quietly felt the flow of primordial energy.
sú huà shuō ， yī zhe bèi shé yǎo ， shí nián pà jǐng shéng yāo ， hé kuàng zhòng rén cái gāng gāng jīng lì le yī cì tiān jié ， nà kě pà de yìn xiàng hái méi yǒu cóng nǎo hǎi zhōng mó miè 。
俗话说，一着被蛇咬，十年怕井绳幺，何况众人才刚刚经历了一次天劫，那可怕的印象还没有从脑海中磨灭。
A stone can polish another; although he believed that with his strength and abilities, he could still stand a good fight against a Separation Stage cultivator, there were many things to learn from this higher level.
nán dào …… yòu yǒu tiān jié ？
难道……又有天劫？
Thus, an odd scene unfolded: Lin Xuan was floating in mid-air but tightly closed his eyes as if in meditation.
yǔ zhū nǚ xiàng bǐ ， lín xuān zé yào xiǎn de zhèn dìng yī xiē ， jìng bù jǐn shì shí lì de yuán gù ， zuì zhǔ yào de shì xìng gé 。
与诸女相比，林轩则要显得镇定一些，迳不仅是实力的缘故，最主要的是性格。
Su Jingchun and the others were surprised at first, then understood what Lin Xuan was doing. They couldn't help but envy him.
jí shǐ zhēn yù jiàn le wēi xiǎn ， huāng yòu jiě jué dé le shén me 。
即使真遇见了危险，慌又解决得了什么。
They wanted to benefit from it too, but their lower cultivation levels prevented them from understanding its subtleties. All they could do was watch with envy.
yú shì wú bǔ 。
于事无补。
The primordial energy gathered around was terrifying, far more than during the previous heavenly tribulation. Unknown to anyone, Lin Xuan had already opened his eyes and showed a hint of surprise and concern as he frowned deeply...
lín xuān shén sè rú cháng de shén shí fàng chū 。
林轩神色如常的神识放出。
Was Sister's advancement going smoothly?
hěn kuài ， lín xuān chóng xīn zhēng kāi yǎn móu ， liǎn shàng zài yě méi yǒu le yī sī yī háo de dān yōu 。
很快，林轩重新睁开眼眸，脸上再也没有了一丝一毫的担忧。
Unfortunately, no one else could help with such breakthroughs; it all depended on her.
“ shī shū ， qíng kuàng rú hé ， bú shì tiān jié me ？” sū jiàng chún yīng chún jiǎo qǐ de kāi kǒu le 。
“师叔，情况如何，不是天劫么？”苏绛唇樱唇徼启的开口了。
The sound grew louder until the entire mountain began collapsing. A thousand-foot-high peak turned into a pile of rubble in an instant.
“ zì rán bú shì ， zài zhè lǐ ， wǒ kě yào gōng xǐ tiān yá hǎi gé 。” lín xuān zuǐ bèi biān lù chū yī sī jiǎo fú zhī sè ， gāo shēn mò cè de shuō 。
“自然不是，在这里，我可要恭喜天涯海阁。”林轩嘴备边露出一丝徼芙之色，高深莫测的说。
As the retreat place for Fairy Ruyan, Phoenix Peak’s禁制 was formidable but proved ineffective...
“ gōng xǐ tiān yá hǎi gé ？” sū jiàng chún xiān shì yī dāi ， suí hòu liǎn shàng yě lù chū le kuáng xǐ de biǎo qíng lái 。
“恭喜天涯海阁？”苏绛唇先是一呆，随后脸上也露出了狂喜的表情来。
Whew: Monday, seeking recommendation votes. Fellow Daoists, please support me more. Honestly, I wish to write more, but my writing speed is really slow—about a thousand characters per hour. Sigh, let's not talk about it; today will have at least 5000 words, extra for you. Please recommend.
No barrier was effective, and the giant sword eventually cut through the vortex.
Boom!
First came a sound louder than a thunderclap in the sky. Then it became sharp and piercing, as if a piece of cloth had been torn apart.
Lin Xuan remained unperturbed, his expression showing no surprise or joy. The more he looked like this, the more confident he seemed to be. His horns were filled with confidence, and his hands were even crossed behind his back.
Sure enough, after just a moment, the vortex was torn open by the giant sword. A crack appeared first, then grew larger until it was cut in half.
If the vortices could receive replenishment from primordial energy of heaven and earth, their injuries would heal over time. But at this moment, all the water essence had gone to Lin Xuan.
By giving back what he received, he inadvertently turned into an attack on his own body.
From a magical power standpoint, Lin Xuan was no match for a hundred Incorporeal Stage cultivators combined. However, as a Separation Stage cultivator, he could touch upon the laws of heaven and earth to some extent. Although it was just a superficial understanding, he could still mobilize primordial energy to handle this situation.
With one strike, Lin Xuan tore through the vortex; without nearby water essence for replenishment, dissipating this heavenly tribulation would be only a matter of time.
Far away, the faces of the women were filled with shock and admiration. They envied and admired him, remembering how they had witnessed Separation Stage cultivators in action a century ago. Compared to Lin Xuan, even then seemed somewhat inferior.
No wonder Senior Sister had said that this senior Lin could match a Separation Stage cultivator when he was still an Incorporeal. The others had not openly doubted it but secretly believed otherwise. They were surprised to find out the truth.
A name in good repute is worth its weight in gold.
Lin Xuan did not interfere, just watching as the two monsters fought each other.
Half an hour passed quickly.
The original hundred-foot-long heavenly tribulation dragon was now reduced to a mere two feet. The heads of the beast had lost their ferocity and were filled with panic. Lin Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of amusement appeared on his lips. This creature seemed to have even higher intelligence than he had imagined.
What good fortune!
Just as Lin Xuan thought this, a glint of light flashed in the dragon's eye. It spat out several wind blades before swishing its tail and darting leftward.
"Think you can escape so easily?" Lin Xuan smirked, raising his hand to grab at the creature mid-air.

The shimmering green net tightened instantly. More terrifyingly, the surface of the net transformed into sharp blades.
This was a secret technique that only Separation Stage cultivators could master—converting primordial energy to any shape according to one's will.
The dragon's eyes filled with fear as it struggled desperately. But it was useless; she was already very weak. If she could escape, Lin Xuan would rather just buy himself a tofu and smash his head against the wall.
"Combine!"
Lin Xuan fired another spell, and the dragon was cut into countless pieces.
From its body, a white sphere flew out.
Inside the sphere was a miniature version of the two-headed dragon.
This must be the essence of the heavenly tribulation dragon.
Without Lin Xuan's command, the phoenix's eyes lit up with joy. It spread its wings and flew over to swallow the light ball whole.
It then belched contentedly, closing its eyes in satisfaction.
Lin Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, observing silently but with a thoughtful expression on his face.
Far away, Su Jingchun also arrived with two other high-ranking cultivators. Although Lin Xuan and his uncle had an unusually close relationship, they still needed to thank him for resolving the crisis.
But just as this was happening, the entire Yongzhou Island suddenly began to tremble without any warning.
The primordial energy that had settled down started to gather again, forming various sized light orbs in front of everyone's eyes.
Even high-ranking cultivators like Su Jingchun were taken aback. This was not surprising; after just experiencing a heavenly tribulation, the terrifying image still lingered in their minds.
Could it be… another heavenly tribulation?
Compared to the other women, Lin Xuan seemed more composed. It wasn't only due to his strength but also his personality.
Even if real danger came, panicking wouldn't solve anything.
Lin Xuan's expression remained calm as he released his divine sense.
Soon, Lin Xuan opened his eyes again, no longer showing any worry.
"Auntie, how is it? Is it not a heavenly tribulation?" Su Jingchun asked with a slight smile.
"Of course not. I must congratulate the Sea of Heaven Pavilion," Lin Xuan said with a hint of amusement on his lips.
"Congratulations to the Sea of Heaven Pavilion?"
Su Jingchun was taken aback, then her face lit up with joy.
"Noted. It seems you guessed it as well..."
Before he could finish, a thunderous sound echoed through the air, far louder than any previous thunderclap. Primordial energy began flooding into Phoenix Peak.
Despite their low voices, they were not whispering; all present were high-ranking cultivators and could hear every word clearly.
The women, who had undergone rigorous cultivation to reach this stage, could easily understand the implications of what was happening.
Their faces showed a mix of shock and joy. The fear had vanished, replaced by anticipation as they stared at Phoenix Peak with wide eyes.
Lin Xuan's expression changed; he was relieved but also concerned. Good things come after much effort. Sister finally succeeded in her advancement, and now it was the final moment. This process would be a great opportunity for him.
After all, there were only a few Separation Stage cultivators across the Twelve States of Heaven Cloud. Even counting on one hand, this was rare. The chance to witness someone's晋级过程更是难得。
This would greatly benefit his future cultivation. Lin Xuan closed his eyes and quietly felt the flow of primordial energy.
A stone can polish another; although he believed that with his strength and abilities, he could still stand a good fight against a Separation Stage cultivator, there were many things to learn from this higher level.
Thus, an odd scene unfolded: Lin Xuan was floating in mid-air but tightly closed his eyes as if in meditation.
Su Jingchun and the others were surprised at first, then understood what Lin Xuan was doing. They couldn't help but envy him.
They wanted to benefit from it too, but their lower cultivation levels prevented them from understanding its subtleties. All they could do was watch with envy.
The primordial energy gathered around was terrifying, far more than during the previous heavenly tribulation. Unknown to anyone, Lin Xuan had already opened his eyes and showed a hint of surprise and concern as he frowned deeply...
Was Sister's advancement going smoothly?
Unfortunately, no one else could help with such breakthroughs; it all depended on her.
The sound grew louder until the entire mountain began collapsing. A thousand-foot-high peak turned into a pile of rubble in an instant.
As the retreat place for Fairy Ruyan, Phoenix Peak’s禁制 was formidable but proved ineffective...
