yǔ yīn gāng luò ， lín xuān yě bù děng sān nǚ huí fù ， jiù huà wèi yī dào jīng hóng ， xiāo shī zài le dǎo yǔ shēn chù ， rú jīn tā zhǔ yuán yīng hái máng zhe chōng jī píng jǐng ， suī rán méi yǒu dì èr yuán yīng de bāng zhù ， zhè ge guò chéng wèi shǐ shì bù kě yǐ wán chéng de 。
语音刚落，林轩也不等三女回复，就化为一道惊虹，消失在了岛屿深处，如今他主元婴还忙着冲击瓶颈，虽然没有第二元婴的帮助，这个过程未始是不可以完成的。
The moment the voice fell silent, Lin Xuan did not wait for their replies but transformed into a streak of shocking light and vanished deep within the island. Although his main婴 was still busy breaking through its bottleneck, he could complete this process without the aid of his second元婴.
bù guò huàn yí gè jiǎo dù ， dì èr yuán yīng huí qù ， xiāng duì lái shuō ， zì rán yào róng yì yī xiē ， tū pò píng jǐng ， duì rèn hé xiū shì lái shuō ， dōu shì tiān dà de shì qíng ， jué bù róng yǒu fēn háo shǎn shī ， lín xuān shàng xīn yǐ jí ， yú qíng yú lǐ ， dì èr yuán yīng dōu yào chū yī fèn lì ， nǎ pà shì zēng jiā xiē xǔ jī lǜ 。
不过换一个角度，第二元婴回去，相对来说，自然要容易一些，突破瓶颈，对任何修士来说，都是天大的事情，绝不容有分毫闪失，林轩上心以极，于情于理，第二元婴都要出一份力，哪怕是增加些许几率。
However, from another perspective, sending his second元婴 back would be easier. Breaking through a bottleneck is a major matter for any cultivator; it must not fail. Lin Xuan was extremely concerned about this and, out of both reason and emotion, his second元婴 should contribute to the effort, even if only slightly increasing the odds.
lín xuān lái qù cōng cōng ， ràng bǎi cǎo mén xiū shì dà gǎn jīng è ， bù guò tā men yě bú shì bái chī ， lín xuān zhèng xiū liàn dào jǐn yào guān tóu ， zhè ge jié lùn ， hái shì hěn hǎo cāi cè ， zì rán bú huì yǒu rén qù zhuī wèn shén me ， shàng guān mù yǔ zé kāi shǐ fēn pài rèn wù 。
林轩来去匆匆，让百草门修士大感惊愕，不过他们也不是白痴，林轩正修炼到紧要关头，这个结论，还是很好猜测，自然不会有人去追问什么，上官幕雨则开始分派任务。
Lin Xuan's swift departure left the disciples of Hundred Grass Sect in shock. However, they were not fools. They could easily guess that he was at a critical point in his cultivation, so no one asked questions. Instead, Shangguan Muduyu began assigning tasks.
yóu yú yǒu jìn zhì bǎo hù ， gāng cái tā men bìng méi yǒu chū qù yǔ duì fāng dà dǎ chū shǒu ， suǒ yǐ mén rén dì zǐ bié shuō mò luò ， lián yí gè shòu shāng de yě wú 。
由于有禁制保护，刚才他们并没有出去与对方大打出手，所以门人弟子别说陌落，连一个受伤的也无。
Due to the protective禁制, they had not engaged in a full-scale battle outside. Thus, none of their disciples or even outsiders were injured. However, the禁制 was badly damaged, with many broken. Thankfully, the main sect protection array remained intact, but the light screen dimmed significantly as it consumed numerous crystal stones.
bù guò jìn zhì jiù bǐ jiào cǎn le ， bù shǎo jiē bèi pò qù ， hái hǎo zuì zhǔ yào de hù pài dà zhèn méi shì ， dàn guāng mù yě àn dàn wú bǐ ， gāng cái de zhàn dòu xiāo hào le bù shǎo jīng shí 。
不过禁制就比较惨了，不少皆被破去，还好最主要的护派大阵没事，但光幕也暗淡无比，刚才的战斗消耗了不少晶石。
At this moment, they urgently needed to replenish energy. As the head of the sect, Shangguan Muduyu handled such matters smoothly and began distributing tasks. They also had to inventory their treasures; Lin Xuan's storage bag contained hundreds of items, mostly from the Condensation Core stage and above, with a third being at the元婴 level.
zhè shí hòu jí xū yào tián chōng xīn de néng yuán jìn qù ， shàng guān mù yǔ zuò wéi yī pài zhī zhǔ ， zhè xiē shì qíng shú mén shú lù ， yǒu tiáo bù wěn de fēn pài zhe rèn wù 。
这时候急需要填充新的能源进去，上官慕雨作为一派之主，这些事情熟门熟路，有条不紊的分派着任务。
This收获 was beyond imagination for Hundred Grass Sect. Various丹药, talismans, and materials needed to be sorted out meticulously.
hái yǒu jiù shì qīng diǎn bǎo wù ， lín xuān jiāo dào tā shǒu zhōng de chǔ wù dài zú yǒu shù bǎi zhī duō ， ér qiě wú yī bú shì níng dān qī yǐ shàng de ， yuán yīng jí bié de xiū xiān zhě ， gèng zhàn le sān fēn zhī yī zuǒ yòu 。
还有就是清点宝物，林轩交到她手中的储物袋足有数百之多，而且无一不是凝丹期以上的，元婴级别的修仙者，更占了三分之一左右。
There were many tasks ahead, but they had successfully turned danger into safety, easing the minds of their disciples who now felt even more grateful towards Lin Xuan.
zhè bǐ shōu huò ， duì bǎi cǎo mén lái shuō ， shì nán yǐ xiǎng xiàng de cái fù ， gè zhǒng dān yào ， fú zhuàn ， cái liào yě dōu yào fēn mén bié lèi de qīng lǐ hǎo 。
这笔收获，对百草门来说，是难以想象的财富，各种丹药，符篆，材料也都要分门别类的清理好。
In the following days, no unexpected incidents occurred, and the sea once again returned to its peaceful state. Time passed swiftly, and three months flew by like a song.
jiē xià lái yào zuò de shì qíng hěn duō ， bù guò zǒng suàn shì huà xiǎn wéi yí ， gāi pài dì zǐ yě dōu sōng le kǒu qì ， duì lín xuān gèng shì yuè fā gǎn jī 。
接下来要做的事情很多，不过总算是化险为夷，该派弟子也都松了口气，对林轩更是越发感激。
It was late afternoon in midsummer; the sun had not yet set behind the hills, casting an eerie but beautiful light on the distant horizon. Although located deep within the island, the sound of the ocean waves occasionally reached their ears, creating a clear sky.
suí hòu de shí jiān lǐ ， zài yě méi yǒu shén me yì wài de chā cuò ， zhè piàn hǎi yù ， yòu chóng xīn huī fù le xī de níng jìng xiáng hé 。
随后的时间里，再也没有什么意外的差错，这片海域，又重新恢复了牺的宁静祥和。
Suddenly, a streak of shocking light appeared above them and rushed towards them. The speed was fast enough to reveal two figures inside.
shí guāng cōng cōng suì yuè rú gē ， sān gè yuè de shí jiān yī huǎng ér guò 。
时光匆匆岁月如歌，三个月的时间一晃而过。
The light faded, and Shangguan sisters landed together on the ground outside Hundred Flower Valley.
rú jīn zhèng zhí shèng xià shí jié bàng wǎn ， tài yáng hái wèi là xià shān pō ， yuǎn chù de tiān biān zhī shàng ， huǒ shāo yún fā chū yāo yì ér měi lì de liàng guāng 。
如今正值盛夏时节傍晚，太阳还未落下山坡，远处的天边之上，火烧云发出妖异而美丽的亮光。
Here they were, near the entrance of the valley.
zhè lǐ suī rán wèi yú dǎo yǔ shēn chù ， dàn dà hǎi de bō tāo shēng yě bù shí chuán rù ěr duǒ hǎo yī pài qīng lǎng de tiān sè 。
这里虽然位于岛屿深处，但大海的波涛声也不时传入耳朵好一派清朗的天色。
Over this period, the sisters visited their master's cave almost daily after completing their cultivation. They wondered when he might emerge from his seclusion.
tū rán ， yī dào jīng hóng zài tóu dǐng fú xiàn ， cháo zhe zhè biān fēi chí ér lái 。
突然，一道惊虹在头顶浮现，朝着这边飞驰而来。
Their gratitude towards Lin Xuan was obvious; they believed he would surely break through to the Profound Void stage.
dùn guāng de sù dù hěn kuài ， jìn le cái fā xiàn lǐ miàn shì liǎng gè shēn yǐng 。
遁光的速度很快，近了才发现里面是两个身影。
However, a fifty-year seclusion was still too short. She wondered what level of power her master had reached.
guāng máng shōu liǎn ， shàng guān jiě mèi lián mèi là xià dì lái 。
光芒收敛，上官姐妹联袂落下地来。
As they pondered this, a sudden fluctuation in the fog within Hundred Flower Valley surged like waves, followed by a streak of shocking light—a transmission talisman.
zhè lǐ shì bǎi huā gǔ wài 。
这里是百花谷外。
The sisters were surprised; such a change was unexpected. Before they could react, the transmission talisman zoomed towards them at incredible speed.
jìn yī duàn shí jiān ， jiě mèi liǎ jī hū shì tiān tiān rú cǐ ， jié shù yī tiān de xiū liàn ， jiù huì dào shī zūn de dòng fǔ wài kàn kàn 。
近一段时间，姐妹俩几乎是天天如此，结束一天的修炼，就会到师尊的洞府外看看。
They exchanged a glance and both sank their consciousness into it.
yě bù zhī dào tā lǎo rén jiā shén me shí hòu huì chū guān 。
也不知道他老人家什么时候会出关。
After a moment, Shangguan Ling raised her beautiful face with an expression of confusion: "Sister, Master asked us to inform Mother that we should remove all禁制 from the island. Why?"
duì yú lín xuān jiě mèi liǎ de gǎn jī bù yán ér yù ， xiāng xìn tā yí dìng kě yǐ tū pò dào dòng xuán qī 。
对于林轩姐妹俩的感激不言而喻，相信他一定可以突破到洞玄期。
"Master instructed me; I have no idea why."
bù guò bì guān jǐn jǐn wǔ shí nián ， zhè ge shí jiān hái tài duǎn le yì diǎn ， bù zhī dào shī fù xiàn zài de fǎ lì ， jiū jìng dào le zěn yàng de jìng dì 。
不过闭关仅仅五十年，这个时间还太短了一点，不知道师父现在的法力，究竟到了怎样的境地。
Shangguan Yan took out a blank transmission talisman and pressed it against her forehead, quickly inscribing some instructions before waving her sleeves to send it off.
jiě mèi liǎ zhèng zhè yàng xiǎng zhe ， bǎi huā gǔ zhōng de mí wù tū rán yī zhèn bō dòng ， rú làng huā bān bēn téng fān yǒng ， suí hòu yī dào jīng hóng cóng lǐ miàn fēi lüè ér chū ， shì chuán yīn fú 。
姐妹俩正这样想着，百花谷中的迷雾突然一阵波动，如浪花般奔腾翻涌，随后一道惊虹从里面飞掠而出，是传音符。
This was a magnificent building resembling a jade pavilion. Although Shangguan Muduyu had her own cave, as the sect leader, she mostly stayed at the main headquarters of the sect. At this moment, she was meditating and refining essence.
liǎng jiě mèi yī dāi ， zhè ge biàn huà zhe shí yì wài ， shàng méi yǒu fǎn yìng guò lái ， nà chuán yīn fú jiù fēng chí diàn chè de lái dào miàn qián 。
两姐妹一呆，这个变化着实意外，尚没有反应过来，那传音符就风驰电掣的来到面前。
After fifty years of effort, she successfully advanced from the middle stage to the late stage of Condensation Core. Even in the spirit realm, such a speed was commendable, thanks to the Jade Maiden Seven Heart Technique.
jiě mèi liǎ è rán duì shì yī yǎn ， suí hòu shuāng shuāng jiāng shén shí chén rù lǐ miàn 。
姐妹俩愕然对视一眼，随后双双将神识沉入里面。
She had every chance to condense her元婴.
shǎo qǐng zhī hòu ， shàng guān líng tái qǐ tóu lú jiāo měi de miàn róng shàng mǎn shì è rán bù jiě zhī sè ：“ jiě ， shī fù ràng wǒ liǎ tōng zhī mǔ qīn ， jiāng dǎo yǔ shàng de jìn zhì quán bù chè chú ， zhè shì wèi shén me ？”
少顷之后，上官翎抬起头颅娇美的面容上满是愕然不解之色：“姐，师父让我俩通知母亲，将岛屿上的禁制全部撤除，这是为什么？”
Thinking of Lin Xuan's kindness, she felt immense gratitude towards him.
“ mí wèn wǒ ， wǒ yòu nǎ lǐ qīng chǔ bù guò shī zūn zhè yàng fēn fù ， wǒ liǎ zhào zuò jiù xíng le 。”
“弥问我，我又哪里清楚不过师尊这样吩咐，我俩照做就行了。”
Suddenly, a flicker appeared on her brow as she noticed the incoming transmission talisman. After reading it, confusion and shock were evident on her face.
shàng guān yàn yī biān shuō ， yī biān qǔ chū yī zhāng kòng bái de chuán yīn fú jiāng xī tiē yú é tóu shàng miàn ， cōng cōng kè yìn xià jǐ jù zhǔ tuō rán hòu jiù xiù páo yī fú ， jiāng qí jì chū qù le 。
上官雁一边说，一边取出一张空白的传音符将牺贴于额头上面，匆匆刻印下几句嘱托然后就袖袍一拂，将其祭出去了。
Lin Xuan asked me to remove all禁制 from the island. Could there be a heavenly calamity? Has he already begun breaking through his late stage bottleneck, at a critical juncture?
zhè shì yī qióng lóu yù yǔ bān de jiàn zhù ， shàng guān mù yǔ suī rán yě yǒu zì jǐ de dòng fǔ ， bù guò zuò wèi yī pài zhī zhǔ ， dà bù fèn dōu dài zài mén pài zǒng duò ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， cǐ nǚ zhèng dǎ zuò liàn qì zhe 。
这是一琼楼玉宇般的建筑，上官幕雨虽然也有自己的洞府，不过做为一派之主，大部分都待在门派总舵，此时此刻，此女正打坐炼气着。
Is that possible?
jīng guò wǔ shí nián de nǔ lì ， tā yǐ chéng gōng cóng níng dān zhōng qī jìn jiē dào hòu qī ， jí biàn zài líng jiè lái shuō ， zhè ge sù dù yě suàn bù cuò ， dāng rán jiù yào guī gōng yú yù nǚ qī xīn jué le 。
经过五十年的努力，她已成功从凝丹中期进阶到后期，即便在灵界来说，这个速度也算不错，当然就要归功于玉女七心诀了。
In fifty years, I advanced from middle to late Condensation Core, while Lin Xuan spent the same time advancing from middle to late Separation stage.
zhè yàng xià qù ， zì jǐ yě dà yǒu jī huì níng jié yuán yīng dì 。
这样下去，自己也大有机会凝结元婴地。
At first glance, it seemed unremarkable—advancing from middle to late. However, upon careful consideration, could the Separation and Condensation stages be equated? The difficulty was incomparable; they were entirely different levels.
ér yǐn shuǐ sī yuán ， cǐ nǚ duì lín xuān dāng rán chōng mǎn le gǎn jī 。
而饮水思源，此女对林轩当然充满了感激。
If her guess was correct, Senior Lin's advancement speed was too alarming.
tū rán ， tā méi shāo yī dòng ， fā xiàn le fēi jìn lái de chuán yīn fú ， zài yuè dú yǐ hòu ， liǎn shàng lù chū jǐ fēn mí huò ， bù guò zhèn jīng de chéng yú gèng duō 。
突然，他眉梢一动，发现了飞进来的传音符，在阅读以后，脸上露出几分迷惑，不过震惊的成舁更多。
However, apart from advancing, she couldn't find a reasonable explanation for this phenomenon.
lín xuān yāo qiú zì jǐ jiāng dǎo yǔ de jìn zhì sàn qù ， nán dào shuō ， yǒu tiān jié yào jiàng lín ， mò fēi tā yǐ jīng kāi shǐ chōng jī hòu qī de píng jǐng ， ér qiě shì dào le jué dìng chéng bài de guān jiàn shí qī 。
林轩要求自己将岛屿的禁制散去，难道说，有天劫要降临，莫非他已经开始冲击后期的瓶颈，而且是到了决定成败的关键时期。
After standing still for a moment, Shangguan Muduyu sighed in relief and decided not to delve deeper into the issue. Since Lin Xuan asked, she would follow his instructions.
rán miàn kě néng me ？
然面可能么？
She ended her meditation and began issuing orders.
wǔ shí nián ， zì jǐ cóng níng dān zhōng qī dào hòu qī ， lín xuān huā fèi tóng yàng de shí hòu ， què shì cóng lí hé zhōng qī kāi shǐ chōng jī hòu qī de píng jǐng 。
五十年，自己从凝丹中期到后期，林轩花费同样的时候，却是从离合中期开始冲击后期的瓶颈。
Soon, the previously silent Black Wind Island suddenly became bustling as disciples left their caves, carrying array disks to various locations.
zǎ yī tīng ， sì hū méi yǒu shén me liǎo de ， dōu bù guò shì cóng zhōng qī dào hòu qī bà le 。
咋一听，似乎没有什么了得，都不过是从中期到后期罢了。
Boom!
rán ér zǐ xì sī liáng ， zhè lí hé yǔ níng dān shì néng gòu huà děng hào de me ， liǎng zhě de nán dù ， gēn běn jiù bù kě yǐ dào lǐ jì ， zhèng què de shuō ， nà shì wán quán bù néng tóng rì ér yǔ 。
然而仔细思量，这离合与凝丹是能够画等号的么，两者的难度，根本就不可以道里计，正确的说，那是完全不能同日而语。
An unimaginable sound echoed, far surpassing a thunderclap in intensity. The sky darkened abruptly, despite the sun still not having set behind the hills. A chill ran down everyone's spine upon hearing that explosive noise…
rú guǒ zì jǐ cāi cè méi cuò ， lín qián bèi jìn jiē de sù dù wèi miǎn tài jīng sǒng le 。
如果自己猜测没错，林前辈进阶的速度未免太惊悚了。
