fēi shēng líng jiè ， wǒ men wèi hé yào fēi shēng dào líng jiè qù ？， guǐ liǎn de shēng yīn dài zhe jǐ fēn jīng qí 。
飞升灵界，我们为何要飞升到灵界去？，鬼脸的声音带着几分惊奇。
Why must we ascend to the Spirit Realm? Ghostface's voice carried a hint of surprise.
“ shén me ， nǐ gāng gāng bú shì shuō ， yǒu bàn fǎ ràng wǒ rào kāi tiān jié ” jǔ xiá fēi shēng dào shàng yī jiè ， nán dào shuō ， shì xū yǔ wēi yí ， zài mēng piàn yú wǒ ？。 tián xiǎo dào yī è ， biǎo qíng dùn shí yīn chén xià lái le 。
“什么，你刚刚不是说，有办法让我绕开天劫”举霞飞升到上一界，难道说，是虚与委蛇，在蒙骗于我？。田小到一愕，表情顿时阴沉下来了。
"What do you mean, you just said there was a way for me to avoid the heavenly tribulation?" Tian Xiaodao was taken aback. "Did you deceive me all along, pretending that ascending to the Spirit Realm would be easy?"
“ xiǎo zi ， fēi shēng de huà wǒ què shí shuō guò ， táng táng mó zú dà tǒng lǐng ， yòu hé bì duì nǐ sā huǎng shén me ， zhǐ bù guò wǒ suǒ shuō de fēi shēng ， zǒu dào wǒ men shèng jiè bà le 。” guǐ liǎn de shēng yīn dàn dìng yǐ jí ， yǔ qì gèng hán zhe jǐ fēn cóng róng zhī yì 。
“小子，飞升的话我确实说过，堂堂魔族大统领，又何必对你撒谎什么，只不过我所说的飞升，走到我们圣界罢了。”鬼脸的声音淡定以极，语气更含着几分从容之意。
"Indeed, I did say that I could help with your ascension," Ghostface replied calmly. "But my ascent is to our Holy Realm, not the Demon Realm."
“ shén me ， dào mó jiè ， nǐ gàn má bù zǎo shuō ， nà zhǒng xiǎn è zhī dì ， běn shào yé kě shì fēn háo xìng qù yě wú 。” tián xiǎo jiàn xiǎn de yǒu xiē jīng nù 。
“什么，到魔界，你干嘛不早说，那种险恶之地，本少爷可是分毫兴趣也无。”田小剑显得有些惊怒。
"What? Why didn't you mention this earlier? That's a dangerous place; I have no interest in it." Tian Xiaojian looked both angry and alarmed.
“ xiǎn è zhī dì ？ tián xiǎo zi ， kàn lái nǐ yě shì shòu le nà xiē gǔ xiū shì suǒ liú diǎn jí de yú nòng ， wǒ men shèng jiè ， lùn qǐ shì yí xiū liàn de chéng dù ， kě shì sī háo yě bù bǐ líng jiè xùn sè ， yǒu xiē dōng xī ， shèn zhì shèng shàng yī chóu 。” guǐ liǎn mò rán piàn kè ， lěng lěng de kāi kǒu le 。
“险恶之地？田小子，看来你也是受了那些古修士所留典籍的愚弄，我们圣界，论起适宜修炼的程度，可是丝毫也不比灵界逊色，有些东西，甚至胜上一筹。”鬼脸默然片刻，冷冷的开口了。
"Dangerous place? Young Tian, you seem to be misled by ancient cultivators' records. Our Holy Realm is just as suitable for cultivation as the Spirit Realm, if not more so," Ghostface said coldly after a moment's silence.
“ nà yòu rú hé ， jiù suàn cǐ jiè xiū liàn zī yuán bù bǐ rén jiè xùn sè ， wǒ yī rén lèi xiū xiān zhě ， néng zài nà zhǒng qí xíng guài zhuàng de mó wù zhōng shēng cún me 。”
“那又如何，就算此界修炼资源不比人界逊色，我一人类修仙者，能在那种奇形怪状的魔物中生存么。”
"So what if it is? Even if the resources here are no worse than those in the human world, can I survive among those monstrous creatures?"
“ qí xíng guài zhuàng ？ xiǎo zi ， wǒ dōu yǐ jīng shuō le ， nǐ shì shòu le nà xiē gǔ xiū shì de tú dú ， bù cuò ， wǒ shèng zú zhī rén ， què shí bù shǎo róng mào chǒu guài de ， sān tóu liù bì ， bù yī ér zú ， qí gǔ guài chéng dù ， shèn zhì hái shèng guò le nà xiē yāo zú ， dàn yǒu de zú rén ， zhǎng dé yě yǔ nǐ men rén lèi chà bu duō ， piān piān jiā gōng zi ， qīng guó qīng chéng de jué sè měi nǚ ， zài wǒ zú zhī zhōng ， shù liàng yě shì bù shǎo de …… guǐ liǎn lǎn yáng yáng de kāi kǒu le 。
“奇形怪状？小子，我都已经说了，你是受了那些古修士的荼毒，不错，我圣族之人，确实不少容貌丑怪的，三头六臂，不一而足，其古怪程度，甚至还胜过了那些妖族，但有的族人，长得也与你们人类差不多，偏偏佳公子，倾国倾城的绝色美女，在我族之中，数量也是不少的……鬼脸懒洋洋的开口了。
"Perhaps you're too nervous. A cultivator cannot predict the future or turn misfortune into good fortune, but one must not ignore the omens that appear," Ghostface said.
“ nǐ shuō de kě shì zhēn de ……。
“你说的可是真的……。
"I understand. Let's just be more cautious from now on."
…… hēng běn zūn yǐ yǔ nǐ qiān dìng le gòng shēng xuè qì ， cóng jīn yǐ hòu ” róng rǔ yǔ gòng ， yú nòng nǐ ， duì wǒ yǒu shén me hǎo chù 。” guǐ liǎn yǒu diǎn méi hǎo qì de shuō 。
……哼本尊已与你签订了共生血契，从今以后”荣辱与共，愚弄你，对我有什么好处。”鬼脸有点没好气的说。
Without further ado, Lin Xuan's body was enveloped in a layer of green light as he continued flying forward.
“ hǎo ba ， suàn wǒ duō xīn le ， jì rú cǐ ， fēi shēng dào mó jiè yě méi yǒu shén me guān xì ， gāi rú hé zuò nǐ xiàn zài gào sù wǒ 。” tián xiǎo jiàn zhǎn yán yī xiào de shuō 。
“好吧，算我多心了，既如此，飞升到魔界也没有什么关系，该如何做你现在告诉我。”田小剑展颜一笑的说。
Dream Ruyan did not hesitate and followed closely behind.
“ zhè hái chà bu duō 。” guǐ liǎn mù guāng shǎn shuò ， yǐn yǐn lù chū le mǎn yì zhī sè ：“ běn zūn xiàn zài suī rán sī háo lì liàng yě wú ， dàn suǒ zhī dào de yǐn mì ， duì nǐ yī jiù dà yǒu yòng chǔ ， yǐ nǐ xiàn zài lí hé chū qī de xiū wèi ， zài jiā shàng wǒ de zhǐ yǐn ， fēi shēng dào mó jiè qù ， shì yì diǎn wèn tí yě wú 。”
“这还差不多。”鬼脸目光闪烁，隐隐露出了满意之色：“本尊现在虽然丝毫力量也无，但所知道的隐秘，对你依旧大有用处，以你现在离合初期的修为，再加上我的指引，飞升到魔界去，是一点问题也无。”
A roar echoed through their ears.
“ hū zhōng yú chū lái le 。”
“呼终于出来了。”
"Hey, what is that?"
rú yān xiān zi lǐ le lǐ bìn biān de fā sī ” liǎn shàng dài zhe jǐ fēn qìng xìng zhī yì 。
如嫣仙子理了理鬓边的发丝”脸上带着几分庆幸之意。
Lin Xuan's pupils constricted. In the distance, a black line appeared on the horizon, like a tide rushing towards them.
suī rán chuān yuè nà dòng kū ， qián hòu zhǐ huā le xiǎo bàn zhǎn chá de gōng fu ， dàn tā què yǒu yī zhǒng jié hòu yú niú de gǎn jué 。
虽然穿越那洞窟，前后只huā了小半盏茶的功夫，但她却有一种劫后余牛的感觉。
No, it wasn't just a black line; it was thousands of demon creatures charging towards them.
shuō qǐ lái zhè cì duō kuī le dì di ， fǒu zé ruò shì zì jǐ yí gè rén jiù suàn shén tōng jǐn chū ， bào zhe bì sǐ de xīn lǐ ， néng fǒu cóng nà shǔ yǐ wàn jì de huàn yuè é zhōng shā chū ， yī jiù shì liǎng shuō zhī shì 。
说起来这次多亏了弟弟，否则若是自己一个人就算神通尽出，抱着必死的心理，能否从那数以万计的幻月蛾中杀出，依旧是两说之事。
The sheer number of them had blocked out the sky, and some were struck by lightning as they flew too high.
qí shí gāng cái yě mán wēi xiǎn dì 。
其实刚才也蛮危险地。
Even if they weren't instantly incinerated, their injuries would likely be fatal in such a crowd.
tā men suī méi yǒu shòu dào gōng jī ， dàn nà zhǐ chéng shú tǐ de yāo é ， shuāng yǎn zhōng de hóng máng què yì zhí shǎn shuò ， xiǎn rán shì hěn bù gān xīn fàng tā men lí qù 。
他们虽没有受到攻击，但那只成熟体的妖蛾，双眼中的红芒却一直闪烁，显然是很不甘心放他们离去。
"Demon beast uprising," Lin Xuan and Dream Ruyan's expressions turned grim. Such events were only recorded in ancient texts; no one knew the exact cause. They had never encountered anything like this before despite their extensive experience.
dàn zuì hòu ： yě bù zhī dào shì yīn wèi duì bǎi líng zhōng de wèi jù ， hái shì tóng shí miàn duì liǎng míng lí hé qī xiū xiān zhě ， xī yě qīng chǔ zhēng dòu xià qù duì shuāng fāng jiē méi yǒu hǎo chù ， suǒ yǐ cái zuò chū le hé shuǐ bù fàn jǐng shuǐ de míng zhì xuǎn zé 。
但最后：也不知道是因为对百灵钟的畏惧，还是同时面对两名离合期修仙者，牺也清楚争斗下去对双方皆没有好处，所以才做出了河水不犯井水的明智选择。
They couldn't afford to delay, for the demon beasts' numbers were staggering—hundreds of thousands at least.
dàn shēn chù yāo é de bāo wéi zhī zhōng ， mèng rú yān yě xīn zhōng tǎn tè ， shēng pà duì fāng gū zhù yí zhì ， zuì hòu nòng gè yú sǐ wǎng pò de jié jú 。
但身处妖蛾的包围之中，梦如嫣也心中忐忑，生怕对方孤注一掷，最后弄个鱼死网破的结局。
A white light flashed from Lin Xuan's waist—a beautiful young woman.
hǎo zài dān xīn shì duō yú zǒng suàn cóng nà wēi xiǎn de dòng kū zhōng chū qù 。
好在担心是多余总算从那危险的洞窟中出去。
Facing so many demons, a direct assault was perilous. The more people there were, the better. Yue'er wouldn't stay in the Celestial Oracle Mansion anymore.
liǎng rén sōng le kǒu qì ” dàn yě bù gǎn jiù cǐ fàng sōng jǐng tì hé kuàng shèng yú de shí jiān bù duō ， gèng bù gǎn zài zhè lǐ gǎn kǎi dān lǘ duì shì yī yǎn zhī hòu ， liǎng rén jiù huà wèi yī dào jīng hóng ， jì xù xiàng qián miàn fēi qù le 。
两人松了口气”但也不敢就此放松警惕何况剩余的时间不多，更不敢在这里感慨耽榈对视一眼之后，两人就化为一道惊虹，继续像前面飞去了。
"Master, Ruyan Sister, let's go together."
zhè yī huí dǎo shì méi yǒu yù jiàn shén me wēi xiǎn ， guò le yuē bàn gè shí chén zuǒ yòu de shí jiān ， lín xuān tū rán dùn guāng yī huǎn ， zài bàn kōng zhōng tíng le xià lái 。
这一回倒是没有遇见什么危险，过了约半个时辰左右的时间，林轩突然遁光一缓，在半空中停了下来。
Before she could finish speaking, Yue'er flicked her hand and a banner the size of a palm flew out.
“ dì di ， zěn me le 。”
“弟弟，怎么了。”
The dark clouds absorbed the souls of countless cultivators and demons, greatly enhancing its power. Even Lin Xuan's Nine Heavens Bright Moon Ring paled in comparison to this treasure.
mèng rú yān jiàn le ， xiù méi wēi tiāo ， suī xīn zhōng yí huò ， zì rán yě bù gǎn suí yì wǎng qián miàn luàn chuǎng ， tóng yàng zài shēn páng tíng xià le dùn guāng 。
梦如嫣见了，秀眉微挑，虽心中疑惑，自然也不敢随意往前面乱闯，同样在身旁停下了遁光。
Lin Xuan did not summon any treasures; instead, his body was enveloped by a layer of green light, revealing the Green Flame Qilin Armor.
“ méi shén me ” zhǐ shì bù zhī dào wèi hé ， xīn zhōng gǎn dào yǒu xiē fán è ， jiù xiàng shì yǒu shén me bù hǎo de shì qíng yào fā shēng le 。” lín xuān méi tou yí zhòu de shuō ：“ huò xǔ shì wǒ tài jǐn zhāng le ……
“没什么”只是不知道为何，心中感到有些烦恶，就像是有什么不好的事情要发生了。”林轩眉头一皱的说：“或许是我太紧张了……
He wasn't being overconfident; he had another reason for this approach. The main threat here was the sheer number of demons.
“ zhè kě bù yí dìng ” dì di kě shì lí hé ， jǐn zhāng huì ràng shēn tǐ bù shì gēn běn jiù shuō bù tōng ， nǐ wǒ zhè yàng de xiū xiān zhě ， suī bù néng wèi bǔ xiān zhī ， féng xiōng huà jí ， dàn mò míng chū xiàn de xīn tóu líng zhào ， yě bù kě yǐ tài guò xiǎo shì 。”
“这可不一定”弟弟可是离合，紧张会让身体不适根本就说不通，你我这样的修仙者，虽不能未卜先知，逢凶化吉，但莫名出现的心头灵兆，也不可以太过小视。”
With no creatures above the formation stage, using precious treasures would be more cumbersome than simply cutting them down with sword energy.
“ ń ， wǒ xīn lǐ yǒu shù ， zǒng zhī zài duō jiā jǐng tì jiù zǒu le 。”
“嗯，我心里有数，总之再多加警惕就走了。”
Using a sledgehammer to crack a nut was wasteful and unnecessary.
huà yīn wèi luò ， lín xuān hún shēn qīng máng yì qǐ ， jì xù xiàng zhe qián fāng fēi qù 。
话音未落，林轩浑身青芒一起，继续向着前方飞去。
Meanwhile, Yue'er's banner was already prepared for group attacks. Dream Ruyan did not summon her usual treasure either; she flicked her hand, and a three-foot-long green silk cloth floated in front of her.
mèng rú yān zì rán yě bú huì chí yí ， jǐn suí le shàng qù 。
梦如嫣自然也不会迟疑，紧随了上去。
The trio were ready as the demon horde drew closer.
yòu fēi piàn kè ， yī zhèn shòu hǒu de shēng yīn chuán rú tóng ěr duǒ 。
又飞片刻，一阵兽吼的声音传如同耳朵。
Lin Xuan hesitated briefly before snapping his fingers and two jade vials flew out from his sleeves into the hands of the two women.
“ yí ， nà shì shén me 。”
“咦，那是什么。”
"What is this?" Dream Ruyan was puzzled, but she opened the stopper. A refreshing aroma wafted out.
lín xuān tóng kǒng wēi suō ， zhǐ jiàn yuǎn chù de tiān biān ， chū xiàn le yī dào hēi xiàn ， rú cháo shuǐ yì bān ， xiàng zhe zhè biān xí juǎn ér lái 。
林轩瞳孔微缩，只见远处的天边，出现了一道黑线，如潮水一般，向着这边席卷而来。
"Ten-thousand-year-old spirit milk," she exclaimed in surprise.
bú duì …… bú shì hēi xiàn ” gēn běn jiù shì shǔ yǐ wàn jì de yāo zú ， xiàng zhe zhè biān kuáng bēn ér lái le 。
不对……不是黑线”根本就是数以万计的妖族，向着这边狂奔而来了。
"Yes, it's diluted ten-thousand-year-old spirit milk." Lin Xuan confirmed her guess.
yīn wèi shù liàng tài duō ， jiāng zhěng jīn tiān kōng dōu zhē bì zhù ， bù shí yǒu yāo shòu yīn wèi fēi de jù lí tài gāo ， ér bèi jìn zhì jiàng xià lái de shǎn diàn jī zhòng 。
因为数量太多，将整今天空都遮蔽住，不时有妖兽因为飞的距离太高，而被禁制降下来的闪电击中。
He had turned a drop of spirit milk into a bottle of essence liquid. While it wouldn't instantly replenish their energy, it would restore true essence much faster than ordinary spirit medicines. With so many weak demons, Dream Ruyan and Yue'er's chances of safely passing through increased significantly.
jí shǐ méi bèi diàn chéng jiāo tàn ， zhòng shāng yǐ hòu ， yě nán miǎn bèi shòu cháo suǒ tūn mò 。
即使没被电成焦炭，重伤以后，也难免被兽潮所吞没。
However, whether they could stay together was uncertain. Lin Xuan gave Yue'er a full half-bottle of ten-thousand-year-old spirit milk; after all, Dream Ruyan held a more significant place in his heart compared to Yue'er.
“ yāo shòu bào dòng 。”
“妖兽暴动。”
Ten-thousand-year-old essence liquid was valuable, and Lin Xuan's generosity was commendable.
lín xuān hé rú yān xiān zi de liǎn sè jiē yǒu xiē nán kàn le ， zhè zhǒng shì qíng ， yě zhǐ yǒu diǎn jí jì zǎi guò ， bù guò yuán wěi què méi yǒu rén qīng chǔ ， yǐ tā liǎ jiàn shí guǎng bó ， yě bù céng yù jiàn guò 。
林轩和如嫣仙子的脸色皆有些难看了，这种事情，也只有典籍记载过，不过原委却没有人清楚，以他俩见识广博，也不曾遇见过。
The demon horde was now only about a hundred miles away. The roar of thousands of beasts echoed through the sky, shaking Penglai Island.
méi xiǎng dào piān piān zài zhè jiē gǔ yǎn ……， lín xuān jiāng shén shí fàng chū ， piàn kè yǐ hòu ， liǎn shàng lù chū kǔ xiào zhī sè ：…… jiě ， zhè shòu cháo de fàn wéi tài dà le ， xiǎng yào rào guò ， jī huì suī rán bìng fēi yì diǎn yě wú ， dàn nà yàng zuò ， dān gē de shí jiān kěn dìng jí duō ……。
没想到偏偏在这节骨眼……，林轩将神识放出，片刻以后，脸上露出苦笑之色：……姐，这兽潮的范围太大了，想要绕过，机会虽然并非一点也无，但那样做，耽搁的时间肯定极多……。
Some flew while others ran on the ground; the thunderous sounds shook the entire island.
“ zhè yàng de huà ， wǒ men zhǐ yǒu yìng chuǎng le 。” mèng rú yān tàn le kǒu qì ， yě jué de zhè cì de yùn qì tài méi le xiē 。
“这样的话，我们只有硬闯了。”梦如嫣叹了口气，也觉得这次的运气太霉了些。
Turning around, their faces were solemn as Dream Ruyan waved her hand, forcing nearby water essence to gather around her.
suī rán zhè xiē yāo shòu de děng jí ， bìng shuō bù shàng lí pǔ ， lǐ miàn shèn zhì méi yǒu sì jí huà xíng qī de guài wù ， jiē yǐ èr sān jiē de yāo shòu wéi zhǔ ， dàn shù liàng tài hài rén le 。
虽然这些妖兽的等级，并说不上离谱，里面甚至没有四级化形期的怪物，皆以二三阶的妖兽为主，但数量太骇人了。
Ice spikes appeared, covering half the sky. Lin Xuan's left hand flicked, and dozens of sword energy streaks flew out, expanding in size before splitting into three, forming a dense web around him.
cū lüè gū jì ， jū rán yǒu shù bǎi wàn zhī duō 。
粗略估计，居然有数百万之多。
Yue'er clapped her hands, summoning the Soul Banner. A dark cloud appeared before her, filled with eerie ghost cries; who knew how many spirits were hidden within?
sú huà shuō ， yǐ duō yǎo sǐ xiàng ， zhè yàng de shù liàng ， jí biàn shì lí hé qī xiū shì yù jiàn le ， yě huì tóu téng bù yǐ de 。
俗话说，蚁多咬死象，这样的数量，即便是离合期修士遇见了，也会头疼不已的。
Roar!
dàn bào yuàn jiě jué bù liǎo wèn tí ， yī dào bái sè de guāng huá yǐ cóng lín xuān de yāo jiān fēi le chū qù 。
但抱怨解决不了问题，一道白色的光华已从林轩的腰间飞了出去。
The demon horde was upon them.
shì yī wèi qīng guó qīng chéng de shào nǚ 。
是一位倾国倾城的少女。
Lin Xuan shouted, "Let's go."
miàn duì zhè me duō yāo zú ， yìng chuǎng de wēi xiǎn kě xiǎng ér zhī ， zhè zhǒng shí hòu ， duō yí gè rén ， jiù duō yī fèn lì ， yuè ér zì rán bú huì zài dài zài tiān jī fǔ lǐ 。
面对这么多妖族，硬闯的危险可想而知，这种时候，多一个人，就多一份力，月儿自然不会再待在天机府里。
A green light flashed as thousands of sword energy streaks plunged into the horde. Blood rain fell but quickly dissipated like a stone thrown into water, barely making a ripple.
“ shào yé ， rú yān jiě jiě ， wǒ men yì qǐ 。”
“少爷，如嫣姐姐，我们一起。”
Dream Ruyan and Yue'er were in similar situations; their attacks were powerful yet insignificant compared to the sheer number of demons. In an instant, they were swallowed by the beasts' roars. Lin Xuan gritted his teeth, determined to carve out a path through blood.
huà yīn wèi luò ， yuè ér yù shǒu yī fú ， yī bā zhǎng dà xiǎo de fān qí fēi lüè ér chū 。
话音未落，月儿玉手一拂，一巴掌大小的幡旗飞掠而出。
Postscript: According to current progress, we should reach the Spirit Realm tomorrow. Haha, the new chapter is finally starting. Please give me some recommendation votes; thank you!
Why must we ascend to the Spirit Realm? Ghostface's voice carried a hint of surprise.
"What do you mean, you just said there was a way for me to avoid the heavenly tribulation?" Tian Xiaodao was taken aback. "Did you deceive me all along, pretending that ascending to the Spirit Realm would be easy?"
