“ yǔ cǐ tóng shí ． bù zhī dào duō shǎo wàn lǐ zhī wài de lìng yī biān 。
“与此同时．不知道多少万里之外的另一边。
At the same time, several million miles away on the other side.
lín xuān kàn zhuó yǎn qián de jǐng wù ， méi tóu shēn shēn zhòu qǐ lái le 。
林轩看着眼前的景物，眉头深深皱起来了。
Lin Xuan looked at the scenery before him and furrowed his brows deeply. He had been following the direction New Moon had fled in, but he hadn't encountered any restrictions along the way until about half an hour ago when a few forks appeared.
tā yuán běn shì xún zhe xīn yuè táo nì de fāng xiàng fēi lái ， yī lù shàng ， dào yě méi yǒu yù jiàn shén me jìn zhì zǔ gé ， zhǐ shì dà yuē zài xiǎo bàn gè shí chén yǐ qián ， què yù jiàn le jǐ gè chà lù 。
他原本是寻着新月逃匿的方向飞来，一路上，倒也没有遇见什么禁制阻隔，只是大约在小半个时辰以前，却遇见了几各岔路。
He didn't know which fork New Moon had taken.
lín xuān yě bù zhī dào xīn yuè lái de nǎ yī biān 。
林轩也不知道新月来的哪一边。
As he got closer to the mountain peak, his divine sense began to be inexplicably suppressed.
suí zhe jù lí shān xū yuè lái yuè jìn ， shén shí kāi shǐ mò míng qí miào de shòu dào yā zhì le 。
随着距离山须越来越近，神识开始莫名其妙的受到压制了。
Lin Xuan had experienced this before, but it was clearly different from ordinary restrictions on divine senses. His divine sense wasn't suddenly weakened; instead, with each step towards the mountain peak, it became a little weaker.
zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng lín xuān yǐ qián yù dào guò ， dàn què yǔ pǔ tōng xiàn zhì shén shí de zhèn fǎ míng xiǎn bù tóng 。
这种情况林轩以前遇到过，但却与普通限制神识的阵法明显不同。
Now, he could only sense within a hundred miles. New Moon must have already run ahead.
shén shí yán shì yī xià zi bèi xuē ruò ， ér shì suí zhe xiàng shān xū qián jìn ， měi lái yī bù ， jiù xuē ruò nà me yì diǎn 。
神识言是一下子被削弱，而是随着像山须前进，每来一步，就削弱那么一点。
After some hesitation, Lin Xuan chose the middle path.
rú jīn tā wán shén shí zhǐ néng gǎn yìng dào bǎi lǐ fāng yuán ， xīn yuè xiǎn rán zǎo yǐ pǎo dào le qián miàn 。
如今他完神识只能感应到百里方圆，新月显然早已跑到了前面。
But now, he found himself in an awkward situation. There was no more road before him; instead, a sheer cliff of ten thousand feet appeared, deep and bottomless.
lüè yī chóu chú ， lín xuān xuǎn le zhōng jiān nà tiáo lù 。
略一踌躇，林轩选了中间那条路。
Originally, cultivators could fly through clouds, but this cliff wasn't worth mentioning.
kě xiàn zài tā què kū xiào bù dé 。
可现在他却哭笑不得。
However, even with his current cultivation level, Lin Xuan couldn’t use the Wind Control Technique here. His divine sense was further weakened here, though he could still clearly sense that the cliff was several miles long.
yīn wèi qián miàn zài méi yǒu le lù ， yī wàn zhàng xuán yá chū xiàn zài le shì cán lǐ ， shēn bú jiàn dǐ 。
因为前面再没有了路，一万丈悬崖出现在了视残里，深不见底。
Unable to fly, naturally, he couldn't pass through from here.
yuán běn xiū xiān zhě kě yǐ téng yún jià wù wù 。 xuán yá shì yán zhí yī tí de 。
原本修仙者可以腾云驾雾雾。悬崖是言值一提的。
Lin Xuan's face turned gloomy. A white light flashed, and Moon appeared before him. But the little girl also couldn’t float in the sky; the restrictions on this area were much stronger than usual.
kě piān piān cǐ chù ， què yán jìn kōng jìn zhì ” jí biàn yǐ lín xuān lí huì qī de xiū wèi ， yě bié xiǎng shī zhǎn yù fēng zhī mò 。
可偏偏此处，却炎禁空禁制”即便以林轩离会期的修为，也别想施展御风之末。
Lin Xuan remained silent for a moment but didn’t come up with any good ideas either.
zài cǐ chù ， shén shí bèi jìn yí bù xuē ruò ， bù guò lín xuān yī jiù kě yǐ gǎn yìng qīng chǔ ， cǐ xuán yá dà yuē yǒu shù lǐ zuǒ gǔ 。
在此处，神识被进一步削弱，不过林轩依旧可以感应清楚，此悬崖大约有数里左古。
"Maybe we should retreat from here. There are still some forks ahead. Maybe that will work…" Lin Xuan shook his head, not planning to follow Moon’s suggestion. It seemed like it could solve the current problem, but the time spent going back and forth would be too much.
bù néng fēi ， zì rán wú fǎ cóng zhè lǐ tōng guò 。
不能飞，自然无法从这里通过。
Besides, this path was blocked by a natural barrier; who knew what other dangers might lie in the other paths?
lín xuān de liǎn sè dùn shí yīn mái xià lái le 。
林轩的脸色顿时阴霾下来了。
Hearing Lin Xuan's words, Moon reluctantly agreed that there was some logic to his suggestion. "But if we don't do it, we can’t pass through here either."
bái guāng yī shǎn ， yuè ér yǐ chū xiàn zài le miàn qián ， bù guò xiǎo yā tou tóng yàng wú fǎ piāo fú zài tiān kōng lǐ miàn ， cǐ chù de jìn kōng jìn zhì zhī qiáng ， yuǎn chāo yì bān rén de xiǎng jiā 。
白光一闪，月儿已出现在了面前，不过小丫头同样无法漂浮在天空里面，此处的禁空禁制之强，远超一般人的想家。
"Perhaps not." Lin Xuan believed that any problem could be solved with a good idea.
lín xuān mò rán bù yǔ ，！ shí piàn kè ， tā yě méi yǒu xiǎng dào shén me hǎo zhǔ yì 。
林轩默然不语，！时片刻，他也没有想到什么好主意。
The cliff was deep and bottomless, clearly naturally formed rather than the work of ancient cultivators. Compared to the vastness of Penglai Mountain, this was just an unremarkable gap.
“ yào bù rán wǒ men cóng zhè lǐ tuì huí qù ， hái yǒu jǐ gè chà lù ， yě xǔ kě yǐ de ．． bù dōu lín xuān yáo le yáo tóu ， què bìng bù dǎ suàn àn yuè ér suǒ shuō de zuò jiā xiǎo yā tou suǒ tí chū de jiàn yì ， kàn shì néng gòu jiě jué yǎn qián de nán tí ， dàn zhè yī lái yī qù ， xiāo hào de shí jiān què tài duō le xiē 。
“要不然我们从这里退回去，还有几各岔路，也许可以的．．不都林轩摇了摇头，却并不打算按月儿所说的做家小丫头所提出的建议，看似能够解决眼前的难题，但这一来一去，消耗的时间却太多了些。
The restrictions on flying were intentionally placed by humans. However, this meant that even ancient cultivators couldn't pass through.
hé kuàng zhè gè lù yǒu tiān qiàn zǔ gé ， bié de lù chú ān zhī dào yòu méi yǒu qí tā de wēi xiǎn ne ？
何况这各路有天堑阻隔，别的路除安知道又没有其他的危险呢？
Right, ancient cultivators!
tīng lín xuān zhè me shuō ， yuè ér suī rán jué de yǒu lǐ ， dàn biǎo qíng hái shì yǒu xiē zháo jí ：“ kě rú guǒ bù nà me zuò ， wǒ men hěn běn jiù wú fǎ cóng zhè lǐ tōng guò de 。
听林轩这么说，月儿虽然觉得有理，但表情还是有些着急：“可如果不那么做，我们狠本就无法从这里通过的。
A thought flashed in Lin Xuan's mind as he suddenly wore a strange expression. He really was wise for most of his life but foolish at times.
“ zhè dào wèi bì 。“ lín xuān xiāng xìn rèn hé nán tí ， zǒng néng zhǎo dào jiě jué gǒu zhǔ yì 。
“这倒未必。“林轩相信任何难题，总能找到解决狗主意。
He unbuttoned his robe and a green jade cylinder flew out.
zhè xuán yá shēn bú jiàn dǐ ， míng xiǎn shì tiān rán xíng chéng dì ， ér fēi gǔ xiū shì shǒu bǐ ， dāng rán chú xiāng duì yú zhěng gè péng lái shān de tǐ jī ， xī zhǐ shì yī dào bù qǐ yǎn de fèng xì 。
这悬崖深不见底，明显是天然形成地，而非古修士手笔，当然除相对于整个蓬莱山的体积，牺只是一道不起眼的缝隙。
He had once obtained the map of Penglai Mountain; how could he have forgotten this treasure?
jìn kōng jìn zhì dǎo shì rén gù yì suǒ wèi 。 bù guò rú cǐ yī lái ， gǔ xiū shì yě wú fǎ tōng guò 。
禁空禁制倒是人故意所为。不过如此一来，古修士也无法通过。
Lin Xuan held the jade cylinder in his hand, slowly sinking his divine sense into it.
duì le ， gǔ xiū shì ！
对了，古修士！
After a moment, Lin Xuan raised his head and began to search around him.
lín xuān nǎo hǎi zhōng líng guāng shǎn guò ， liǎn shàng tū rán lù chū gǔ guài de biǎo qíng lái le ， zì jǐ hái zhēn shì cōng míng yī shì ， hú tú yī shí 。
林轩脑海中灵光闪过，脸上突然露出古怪的表情来了，自己还真是聪明一世，糊涂一时。
Although he couldn't use Wind Control Technique here, he still used Lightness Technique, moving swiftly. After about an hour, he finally found what he was looking for—a large stone that looked about seven or eight feet high. It was massive, its weight impossible to estimate.
yòu páo yī shì chú yī gū lǜ de yù tǒng fēi lüè ér chū 。
柚袍一柿除一辜绿的玉筒飞掠而出。
But such stones were common on Penglai Mountain and wouldn’t draw much attention.
zì jǐ céng dé dào péng lái shān de dì tú ， zěn me jiāng cǐ bǎo gěi wàng jì le 。
自己曾得到蓬莱山的地图，怎么将此宝给忘记了。
If it had been any other time, Lin Xuan wouldn't have paid much attention, but with the map as a guide, things were different now.
lín xuān jiāng yù tǒng wò zài shǒu lǐ ， bǎ shén shí huǎn huǎn de chén rù le jìn qù 。
林轩将玉筒握在手里，把神识缓缓的沉入了进去。
Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes, scanning the stone with his divine sense. Here, his divine sense was only slightly suppressed; he could still use it.
piàn kè hòu ， lín xuān tái qǐ tóu lú ， què yóu mù sì gù de zài fù jìn sōu suǒ qǐ lái le 。
片刻后，林轩抬起头颅，却游目四顾的在附近搜索起来了。
"Sure enough."
suī rán bù néng shī zhǎn zhì fēng zhī mò chú dàn qīng shēn jué hái shì kě yǐ shǐ yòng de ， lín xuān yí dòng yī jiù jí wéi xùn sù ， shēn xíng piāo rěn jiā yuē yī zhǎn chá de gōng fu yǐ hòu ， tā zhōng yú zhǎo dào le xiǎng yào zhī wù 。
虽然不能施展掷风之末除但轻身诀还是可以使用的，林轩移动依旧极为迅速，身形飘忍家约一盏茶的功夫以后，他终于找到了想要之物。
Soon, a relieved look appeared on Lin Xuan's face. He flicked his fingers, and a sword of light materialized.
nà shì yī kuài jù shí ” kàn shàng qù yǒu qī bā zhàng gāo de yàng zi ” yǎ wěi yǐ jí ， zhòng liàng gèng shì nán yǐ gū jì 。
那是一块巨石”看上去有七八丈高的样子”雅伟以极，重量更是难以估计。
After a brief flash, it struck the large stone fiercely.
bù guò ， zài péng lái shān shàng ， zhè yàng de shí tou hěn duō jiā sī háo yě méi yǒu qǐ yǎn zhī chù 。
不过，在蓬莱山上，这样的石头很多家丝毫也没有起眼之处。
To ordinary people, this stone would be incredibly hard, but to cultivators, it was insignificant.
rú guǒ shì píng cháng ， lín xuān yě bú huì liú yì shén me ” bù guò cǐ shí cǐ kè ， yǒu nà dì tú de zhǐ diǎn jiā zì rán yòu bù yí yàng le 。
如果是平常，林轩也不会留意什么”不过此时此刻，有那地图的指点家自然又不一样了。
Debris fell like rain.
lín xuān yǎn jīng wēi mī ， jiāng shén shí xiàng shēn qián de jù shí sǎo qù ， zài zhè lǐ ， shén niàn zhǐ shì shòu dào yí dìng chéng dù de yā zhì ， dào bìng fēi bù néng yòng 。
林轩眼睛微眯，将神识像身前的巨石扫去，在这里，神念只是受到一定程度的压制，倒并非不能用。
Then, a small teleportation array appeared in front of him.
“ guǒ rán méi cuò 。”
“果然没错。”
"Ah, this is our way out." Moon's eyes widened in surprise, followed by an expression of joy.
hěn kuài ， lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū liǎo rán zhī sè ， suí hòu qū zhǐ wēi dàn ，g yī dào jiàn qì fú xiàn 。
很快，林轩脸上露出了然之色，随后屈指微弹，g一道剑气浮现。
Lin Xuan felt the same relief after going through so much trouble to find a way across the natural barrier ahead.
lüè yī shǎn liàn ， biàn hěn hěn pī zài nà jù shí shàng le 。
略一闪炼，便狠狠劈在那巨石上了。
This was a short-range teleportation array, functioning like a bridge.
duì fán rén lái shuō ， cǐ shí zì shì jiān yìng wú bǐ ” dàn zài xiū xiān zhě de yǎn lǐ ， què bù zhí yī tí 。
对凡人来说，此石自是坚硬无比”但在修仙者的眼里，却不值一提。
With his knowledge of arrays, Lin Xuan could tell that it was intact. He took out two crystal stones from his waist and embedded them into the four corners of the array.
suì xiè fēn luò rú yǔ 。
碎屑纷落如雨。
Without saying anything else, he stepped onto the platform and cast a spell.
suí hòu yī xiǎo qiǎo de chuán sòng zhèn yìng rù yǎn lián lǐ 。
随后一小巧的传送阵映入眼帘里。
A white light enveloped him as he vanished without a trace.
“ duō zhè shì men yù bù chú yuè ér yī dāi ， suí hòu liǎn shàng bù yóu de lù chū jīng xǐ de biǎo qíng lái 。
“多这是们玉不除月儿一呆，随后脸上不由得露出惊喜的表情来。
Since this was teleportation, some strain would be placed on his body, with the severity proportional to the distance.
lín xuān yě chà bu duō ” fèi jǐn zhōu xī ， zhōng yú zhǎo dào yuè guò qián miàn tiān qiàn de fāng fǎ le 。
林轩也差不多”费尽周析，终于找到越过前面天堑的方法了。
With Lin Xuan's current cultivation level, such short-range teleportation had negligible effects.
zhè shì yī duǎn jù lí de chuán sòng zhèn ， qǐ de zuò yòng yǔ qiáo liáng chà bu duō 。
这是一短距离的传送阵，起的作用与桥粱差不多。
As soon as the teleportation completed, Lin Xuan immediately cast out his treasure, not wanting anything stolen from him.
yǐ lín xuān de zhèn fǎ zào yì ， zì rán néng gòu kàn chū xī shì wán hǎo dì 。
以林轩的阵法造诣，自然能够看出牺是完好地。
Fortunately, it was unnecessary.
shēn shǒu zài yāo jiān yī pāi ， jiāng liǎng kuài jīng shí qǔ què chū lái chú bō qiàn zài zhèn fǎ de sì jiē shàng miàn 。
伸手在腰间一拍，将两块晶石取却出来除钵嵌在阵法的四接上面。
Lin Xuan let out a sigh of relief but remained vigilant, looking around and assessing his surroundings.
suí hòu lín xuān èr huà bù shuō de zhàn le shàng qù ， yī dào fǎ jué dǎ chū 。
随后林轩二话不说的站了上去，一道法诀打出。
What he saw made even his broad experience take a sharp intake of breath.
** de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr zá ， lín xuān zài yī piàn rǔ bái sè de guāng yùn zhōng xiāo shī dé yì diǎn zōng yǐng yě wú 。
**的声音传入耳杂，林轩在一片乳白色的光晕中消失得一点踪影也无。
A magnificent stone staircase.
jì rán shì chuán sòng ， qīng dìng dū huì duì shēn tǐ zào chéng yí dìng de yí hé ， qí yán zhòng chéng dù ” yǔ chuán sòng de jù lí chéng zhèng bǐ 。
既然是传送，青定都会对身体造成一定的宜荷，其严重程度”与传送的距离成正比。
He was standing on one of the stone steps now.
yǐ lín xuān lí hé qī de xiū wèi ， zhè zhǒng duǎn jù lí chuán sòng ， duì tā de yǐng xiǎng ， kě yǐ hū lüè bù jì 。
以林轩离合期的修为，这种短距离传送，对他的影响，可以忽略不计。
The step was incredibly wide; it seemed to go down endlessly, extending all the way to the mountain peak.
chuán sòng gāng wán chéng de yī kè ， lín xuān èr huà bù shuō de jiāng fǎ bǎo jì chū ， tā kě bù xiǎng bèi tōu gōng le 。
传送刚完成的一刻，林轩二话不说的将法宝祭出，他可不想被偷龚了。
No one could tell how many steps there were.
hǎo zài shì duō yú de 。
好在是多余的。
Suddenly, Lin Xuan frowned as he heard a faint cracking sound. However, the distance made it hard for him to sense clearly due to the restrictions on his divine sense here.
lín xuān sōng le kǒu qì ” bù guò xīn zhōng yī jiù bǎo chí zhe jǐng màn ” kāi shǐ yóu mù sì gù ， dǎ liàng qǐ sì zhōu lái le 。
林轩松了口气”不过心中依旧保持着警慢”开始游目四顾，打量起四周来了。
"Someone must have gone up before me."
mù guāng suǒ jí ， jí biàn yǐ lín xuān jiàn shí guǎng bó ， yě bù yóu de xī le 。 liáng qì 。
目光所及，即便以林轩见识广博，也不由得吸了。凉气。
Lin Xuan's face turned half worried and half relieved.
hǎo yǎ jǐng de yù shí jiē yàng 。
好雅井的玉石阶样。
Having someone in front of him would naturally reduce the trouble, but it also meant that obtaining the treasure would be much harder.
cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tā jū rán zhàn zài yī yù shí tái jiē de shàng miàn 。
此时此刻，他居然站在一玉石台阶的上面。
Originally, Lin Xuan had come to the Netherworld Gate to find an ancient teleportation array to bypass the heavenly tribulation and directly ascend to the Spirit Realm.
cǐ tái jiē kuān dà yǐ jí ， yī yǎn wàng qù ， shēn bú jiàn dǐ ， yì zhí xiàng shān xū yán shēn ér qù 。
此台阶宽大以极，一眼望去，深不见底，一直像山须延伸而去。
But he had to climb up the mountain peak in search of Fairy Ruyan.
shuō bù shàng yǒu duō shǎo jí 。
说不上有多少级。
Although this wasn't his initial goal, since he was here, if there were any good treasures, Lin Xuan wouldn't want to miss them.
tū rán ， lín xuān méi tou yí zhòu ， yǐn yuē yǒu bào liè shēng chuán rù yǒu ěr zá ， zhǐ bù guò jù lí tài yuǎn le ， ér zài zhè lǐ ， shén shí shòu dào de xiàn zhì yuè fā yán zhòng ， suǒ yǐ tā de gǎn yìng yě shì ruò yǒu ruò wú ， bìng bù tài zhēn qiè de 。
突然，林轩眉头一皱，隐约有爆裂声传入有耳杂，只不过距离太远了，而在这里，神识受到的限制越发严重，所以他的感应也是若有若无，并不太真切的。
However, someone else seemed to be moving even faster than him.
“ duō zài zì jǐ zhī qián ， yǐ jīng yǒu rén shàng qù 。
“多在自己之前，已经有人上去。
Lin Xuan's face turned gloomy. After a moment, he sighed, feeling that perhaps he had been too eager. Even if he didn’t get the treasure, it wasn’t worth being so upset.
lín xuān de liǎn sè bù yóu de bàn yōu bàn xǐ 。
林轩的脸色不由得半忧半喜。
He would just have to take things as they came and hope his sister was safe.
yǒu rén zài qián miàn huī lù ， má fán zì rán huì shǎo shàng xǔ duō chú dàn zhè yě yì wèi zhe ， xīn yào līn dào bǎo wù de nán dù dà dà zēng jiā le 。
有人在前面挥路，麻烦自然会少上许多除但这也意味着，芯要拎到宝物的难度大大增加了。
With these thoughts in mind, Lin Xuan was about to use Lightness Technique to climb up when suddenly, his face changed as he turned around.
yuán běn lín xuān lái xiū luó zhī mén de mù dì ， shì wèi le xún zhǎo gǔ chuán sòng zhèn ， rào kāi tiān jié ， zhí jiē fēi shēng qù líng jiè 。
原本林轩来修罗之门的目的，是为了寻找古传送阵，绕开天劫，直接飞升去灵界。
The teleportation array behind him lit up again.
rán ér wèi le xún zhǎo rú yān xiān zi ” lín xuān bù dé bù yī lù cháo shān xū pān ní ér qù 。
然而为了寻找如嫣仙子”林轩不得不一路朝山须攀尼而去。
It was impossible for someone to follow him from behind.
suī rán zhè bú shì zuì chū de mù dì ， dàn jì rán yǐ jīng lái le ， rú guǒ yǒu hǎo bǎo wù ， lín xuān zì rán bù xiǎng fàng guò 。
虽然这不是最初的目的，但既然已经来了，如果有好宝物，林轩自然不想放过。
Could this teleportation array be one-to-many instead of one-to-one? Could people arrive here from several different paths?
kě yǒu rén xíng dòng jū rán bǐ zì jǐ hái yǒu xùn sù 。
可有人行动居然比自己还有迅速。
Lin Xuan's thoughts raced but he didn’t have the heart to delve deeper. He unbuttoned his robe and fiercely slashed at the teleportation array with a sword.
At the same time, several million miles away on the other side.
Lin Xuan looked at the scenery before him and furrowed his brows deeply. He had been following the direction New Moon had fled in, but he hadn't encountered any restrictions along the way until about half an hour ago when a few forks appeared.
He didn't know which fork New Moon had taken.
As he got closer to the mountain peak, his divine sense began to be inexplicably suppressed.
Lin Xuan had experienced this before, but it was clearly different from ordinary restrictions on divine senses. His divine sense wasn't suddenly weakened; instead, with each step towards the mountain peak, it became a little weaker.
Now, he could only sense within a hundred miles. New Moon must have already run ahead.
After some hesitation, Lin Xuan chose the middle path.
But now, he found himself in an awkward situation. There was no more road before him; instead, a sheer cliff of ten thousand feet appeared, deep and bottomless.
Originally, cultivators could fly through clouds, but this cliff wasn't worth mentioning.
However, even with his current cultivation level, Lin Xuan couldn’t use the Wind Control Technique here. His divine sense was further weakened here, though he could still clearly sense that the cliff was several miles long.
Unable to fly, naturally, he couldn't pass through from here.

Lin Xuan remained silent for a moment but didn’t come up with any good ideas either.
"Maybe we should retreat from here. There are still some forks ahead. Maybe that will work…" Lin Xuan shook his head, not planning to follow Moon’s suggestion. It seemed like it could solve the current problem, but the time spent going back and forth would be too much.
Besides, this path was blocked by a natural barrier; who knew what other dangers might lie in the other paths?

A thought flashed in Lin Xuan's mind as he suddenly wore a strange expression. He really was wise for most of his life but foolish at times.
He unbuttoned his robe and a green jade cylinder flew out.
