第一千九百五十章进阶洞玄（上）

Chapter 1950: Advancing to the Profound Void (Part 1)

jiǔ xiān gōng de zhào jí lìng ， dōu yǐ jīng fā chū le shù cì ， yǔ hùn luàn hǎi yù de gè dà mén pài ， hái yǒu sàn xiū jié méng ， bì jìng zhè yī cì wēi jī ， shuí dān dú yě bié xiǎng áo guò qù ， zhǐ yǒu tóng xīn tóng dé ， cái yǔ nà xiē yīn hún guǐ wù ， yǒu yī zhàn zhī lì 。

九仙宫的召集令，都已经发出了数次，与混乱海域的各大门派，还有散修结盟，毕竟这一次危机，谁单独也别想熬过去，只有同心同德，才与那些阴魂鬼物，有一战之力。

The summoning order from Nine Immortal Palace had been issued multiple times, and alliances were formed with major sects and scattered cultivators in the Chaos Sea. After all, this crisis couldn't be weathered alone; only by uniting could they stand a chance against those ghostly entities.

kě zuì hòu ， chōng tū gēn běn jiù méi yǒu bō jí zhè lǐ 。

可最后，冲突根本就没有波及这里。

However, the conflict never reached here.

wú tā ， tiān shā míng wáng de fēn shén jiàng lín le a ！

无他，天煞明王的分神降临了啊！

The reason was simple: the Vengeful Sovereign of Heaven's fragmentary soul had descended upon them!

suī rán zhǐ shì yī lǚ fēn hún ér yǐ ， ér qiě yóu yú gé jiè zhī lì ， shén tōng shòu dào zhū duō xiàn zhì ， shí lì jí bù shàng tā běn tǐ de shí wàn fēn zhī yī 。

虽然只是一缕分魂而已，而且由于隔界之力，神通受到诸多限制，实力及不上他本体的十万分之一。

Though it was just a fragment of his soul, and due to the boundary powers limiting its abilities, its strength didn't even amount to one ten-thousandth of his true form.

dàn tiān shā míng wáng shì hé děng rén wù ， nà kě shì sàn xiān jí bié de 。

但天煞明王是何等人物，那可是散仙级别的。

But who was the Vengeful Sovereign of Heaven? He was a cultivator at the Dispersed Immortal stage—powerful enough that even with restrictions, he could easily destroy several minor foes. The battle had no suspense; the Vengeful Sovereign of Heaven didn't do much more than eliminate the leaders of those rebellious ghosts.

xiàn zhì zài duō ， fēn hún miè jǐ gè xiǎo zú ， yě shì qīng ér yì jǔ dào jí chù ， zhěng gè zhàn dòu ， sī háo xuán niàn yě wú ， tiān shā míng wáng yě méi yǒu zuò tài duō ， zhǐ shì jiāng nà xiē yīn hún pàn nì de shǒu lǐng gěi miè le 。

限制再多，分魂灭几个小卒，也是轻而易举到极处，整个战斗，丝毫悬念也无，天煞明王也没有做太多，只是将那些阴魂叛逆的首领给灭了。

Target the leader first, and the rest will follow. This was a strategy to cut off the roots. It wasn't easy for them to provoke a war between the two worlds. The Vengeful Sovereign of Heaven demonstrated his stance with actions; their six clans in the Netherworld had no desire to covet the Spirit Realm.

shè rén xiān shè mǎ ， qín zéi xiān qín wáng ， cǐ nǎi fǔ dǐ chōu xīn zhī cè ， tā men xiǎng yào tiāo qǐ liǎng jiè dà zhàn ， nǎ yǒu nà me róng yì de ， tiān shā míng wáng yòng shí jì xíng dòng ， biǎo míng liǎo zì jǐ de tài dù ， tā men yīn sī liù zú ， duì yú líng jiè ， bìng méi yǒu jì yú zhī xīn de 。

射人先射马，擒贼先擒王，此乃釜底抽薪之策，他们想要挑起两界大战，哪有那么容易的，天煞明王用实际行动，表明了自己的态度，他们阴司六族，对于灵界，并没有觊觎之心的。

Within just a short while, the Vengeful Sovereign of Heaven returned to the Netherworld. Since the interdimensional portal hadn't truly opened, staying here was rather futile.

qián hòu bù guò yī zhǎn chá de gōng fu ， tiān shā míng wáng jiù huí dào le yīn cáo dì fǔ ， bì jìng liǎng jiè tōng dào méi yǒu zhēn zhèng dǎ kāi ， tā liú zài cǐ chù ， zhe shí yǒu xiē chī lì bù tǎo hǎo de 。

前后不过一盏茶的功夫，天煞明王就回到了阴曹地府，毕竟两界通道没有真正打开，他留在此处，着实有些吃力不讨好的。

Moreover, even though it was only his fragmentary soul that descended, he was still the leader of the Netherworld. If several old-timers in the Spirit Realm misunderstood him, things could get complicated.

hé kuàng suī rán jǐn jǐn shì fēn hún jiàng lín cǐ chù ， dàn tā kě shì yīn sī jiè de dà shǒu lǐng ， rú guǒ yǐn qǐ líng jiè jǐ gè lǎo jiā huǒ de wù huì ， nà má fán kě jiù dà le 。

何况虽然仅仅是分魂降临此处，但他可是阴司界的大首领，如果引起灵界几个老家伙的误会，那麻烦可就大了。

Seeing the situation improve, after losing their leader, the number of invading ghosts in the East Sea was vast but leaderless—just a rabble. Naturally, they couldn't cause much trouble.

jiàn hǎo jiù shōu ， ér shī qù tóu lǐng yǐ hòu ， nà xiē rù qīn dōng hǎi de yīn hún shù liàng suī zhòng ， dàn qún lóng wú shǒu ， bù guò shì wū hé zhī zhòng ， zì rán yě jiù xiān bù qǐ shén me fēng làng lái le 。

见好就收，而失去头领以后，那些入侵东海的阴魂数量虽众，但群龙无首，不过是乌合之众，自然也就掀不起什么风浪来了。

The three Demon Emperors and six Sea Kings, along with the human city of sages, weren't fools. They wouldn't let such an opportunity slip away; otherwise, they would face severe consequences. Thus, various experts from different sects launched a comprehensive counterattack on the ghosts.

sān yāo huáng ， liù hǎi wáng ， hái yǒu rén zú de shèng chéng bú shì bái chī ， zhè me hǎo de jī huì yí dàn cuò guò ， nà kě shì huì bèi tiān dǎ wǔ léi hōng de ， yú shì gè pài gāo shǒu ， duì yīn hún jìn xíng le quán miàn de fǎn gōng 。

三妖皇，六海王，还有人族的圣城不是白痴，这么好的机会一旦错过，那可是会被天打五雷轰的，于是各派高手，对阴魂进行了全面的反攻。

At this moment, the ghosts were already in disarray, unable to withstand the attack. They were slaughtered and scattered like birds fleeing a storm.

cǐ shí cǐ kè ， yīn hún yǐ shì dà shì qù le ， zì rán dǐ dǎng bú zhù ， bèi sān zú shā le gè pì gǔn niào liú ， hěn kuài zuò niǎo shòu sàn le 。

此时此刻，阴魂已是大势去了，自然抵挡不住，被三族杀了个屁滚尿流，很快作鸟兽散了。

The original crisis was unexpectedly resolved in such an unexpected manner.

yuán běn de wēi jī ， jū rán yǐ zhè yàng yì xiǎng bù dào de fāng shì jiě chú 。

原本的危机，居然以这样意想不到的方式解除。

Lin Xuan was greatly surprised upon learning of it, initially thinking it was hearsay. He dispatched several disciples from Hundred Herbs Sect to gather information, which finally confirmed his suspicions.

lín xuān liǎo jiě yǐ hòu ， yě shì dà gǎn jīng è ， hái yǐ wéi shì dào tīng tú shuō ， pài chū shù míng bǎi cǎo mén dì zǐ ， sì chù dǎ xiāo xī ， zuì hòu zhōng yú dé dào le zhèng shí 。

林轩了解以后，也是大感惊愕，还以为是道听途说，派出数名百草门弟子，四处打消息，最后终于得到了证实。

He felt both shocked and delighted.

yòu jīng yòu xǐ 。

又惊又喜。

However, Lin Xuan didn't abandon cultivation as a result.

bù guò lín xuān bìng méi yǒu yīn cǐ ， jiù jiāng xiū liàn fàng qì 。

不过林轩并没有因此，就将修炼放弃。

His goal for enhancing his cultivation wasn't solely to survive the crisis; as a cultivator, who wouldn't hope to advance further? The closer he got to immortality, the better.

tā tí gāo xiū wèi de mù dì ， yě bù wán quán shì wèi le dù guò wēi jī ， zuò wéi xiū xiān zhě ， shuí yòu bù xī wàng zì jǐ de xiū wèi néng gòu gèng jìn yí bù ， zhè yàng jù lí cháng shēng bù lǎo de mù dì yě jiù gèng jìn le 。

他提高修为的目的，也不完全是为了度过危机，作为修仙者，谁又不希望自己的修为能够更进一步，这样距离长生不老的目的也就更近了。

After all, since ascending to the Spirit Realm, he had been separated from Yue'er for so many years. If his guess was correct, she likely wasn't in the East Sea anymore.

hé kuàng zì cóng fēi shēng líng jiè yǐ hòu jiù yǔ yuè ér fēn kāi le ， zhè me duō nián guò qù le dōu yīn xùn quán wú ， rú guǒ méi yǒu liào cuò ， xiǎo yā tou duō bàn bù zài dōng hǎi de 。

何况自从飞升灵界以后就与月儿分开了，这么多年过去了都音讯全无，如果没有料错，小丫头多半不在东海的。

To reunite with Yue'er, Lin Xuan couldn't stay here indefinitely.

wèi le yǔ yuè ér chóng jù ， lín xuān yě bù néng yì zhí liú zài zhè lǐ 。

为了与月儿重聚，林轩也不能一直留在这里。

The Spirit Realm consisted of hundreds of small dimensions, each with its own boundary powers. Although these were far weaker than those between the Spirit and Mortal Realms or the Spirit and Demon Realms, they shouldn't be ignored. How to travel to other dimensions was still unclear to Lin Xuan, but his hopes would certainly increase with further cultivation.

ér líng jiè shì yóu shù bǎi xiǎo jiè miàn zǔ chéng dì ， hù xiāng zhī jiān ， yě yǒu gé jiè zhī lì ， suī rán yuǎn yuǎn méi yǒu bàn fǎ tóng líng jiè yǔ rén jiè ， huò zhě líng jiè yǔ mó jiè de jiè miàn zhī lì xiāng bǐ ， dàn yě jué bù róng hū shì ， gāi zěn me dào qí tā jiè miàn qù ， lín xuān xiàn zài xīn zhōng hái méi yǒu yí gè pǔ ér ， bù guò shí lì gèng jìn yí bù ， xī wàng kěn dìng yě huì yuè dà de ， zhè yì diǎn ， zé jué wú kě yí zhī chù 。

而灵界是由数百小界面组成地，互相之间，也有隔界之力，虽然远远没有办法同灵界与人界，或者灵界与魔界的界面之力相比，但也绝不容忽视，该怎么到其他界面去，林轩现在心中还没有一个谱儿，不过实力更进一步，希望肯定也会越大的，这一点，则绝无可疑之处。

Thus, even without considering immortality, he should strive for advancement to reunite with Yue'er sooner.

suǒ yǐ jí shǐ jiāng cháng shēng de lǐ yóu pāo què ， jǐn jǐn shì wèi le zǎo rì yǔ yuè ér chóng féng ， zì jǐ yě yīng gāi nǔ lì xiū xíng de 。

所以即使将长生的理由抛却，仅仅是为了早日与月儿重逢，自己也应该努力修行的。

Despite the crisis being resolved, Lin Xuan continued his life-and-death meditation, showing no signs of slackening.

wēi jī jiě chú ， lín xuān què yī jiù zài bì shēng sǐ guān lái zhe ， sī háo yě méi yǒu xiè dài zhī chù 。

危机解除，林轩却依旧在闭生死关来着，丝毫也没有懈怠之处。

Time passed swiftly. Two hundred years seemed like a mere blink of an eye.

shí jiān jiù zhè yàng guò qù le ， liǎng bǎi nián dàn zhǐ yī huī jiān 。

时间就这样过去了，两百年弹指一挥间。

One day, Shangguan Yan was meditating in her cave dwelling.

zhè tiān ， shàng guān yàn zhèng zài dòng fǔ zhōng xiū liàn 。

这天，上官雁正在洞府中修炼。

Years had passed without her neglecting her cultivation; she was now at the middle-stage Immortal Core realm, while her sister was just one step away from the peak of the early stage.

suì yuè yōu yōu ， cǐ nǚ yě cóng lái bù céng huāng fèi guò ， rú jīn cǐ nǚ yǐ shì yuán yīng zhōng qī de xiū xiān zhě ， ér tā mèi mèi ， zé jǐn chà yī bù ， bù rù yuán yīng chū qī de dǐng fēng 。

岁月悠悠，此女也从来不曾荒废过，如今此女已是元婴中期的修仙者，而她妹妹，则仅差一步，步入元婴初期的顶峰。

There was no need to wonder—these two girls' progress was astonishing, advancing by leaps and bounds. With such speed over two hundred years, they outpaced Lin Xuan's own progress significantly.

bù yòng hào qí ， liǎng nǚ de xiū liàn què shí xùn jié wú bǐ ， kān chēng yī rì qiān lǐ ， liǎng bǎi nián yǒu zhè yàng de sù dù ， bǐ qǐ dāng rì de lín xuān ， yě yào gèng shèng yī chóu 。

不用好奇，两女的修炼确实迅捷无比，堪称一日千里，两百年有这样的速度，比起当日的林轩，也要更胜一筹。

It wasn't strange at all; although Nine Heavens Mystical Art couldn't fully unlock the potential of their Ice Soul Thunder Body, their innate abilities far surpassed Lin Xuan's.

bù guò yě méi yǒu shén me qí guài de ， suī rán jiǔ tiān xuán gōng bù néng kāi fā chū léi hún bīng pò zhī tǐ de quán bù qián néng ， dàn liǎng nǚ de zī zhì yǔ lín xuān xiāng bǐ ， yě hǎo le bù zhī fán jǐ 。

不过也没有什么奇怪的，虽然九天玄功不能开发出雷魂冰魄之体的全部潜能，但两女的资质与林轩相比，也好了不知凡几。

With a generous and wealthy teacher providing unlimited elixirs and medicines, combined with various favorable conditions, it was miraculous if they didn't advance so quickly.

yòu yù shàng zhè me yí gè kāng kǎi qiě shēn jiā fēng hòu de shī fù ， gè zhǒng líng dān miào yào jī hū shì bù xiàn liàng ， chǎng kāi le gōng yìng ， zhǒng zhǒng yǒu lì tiáo jiàn jié hé ， xiū xíng sù dù bù kuài nà cái jiào yù guǐ le 。

又遇上这么一个慷慨且身家丰厚的师傅，各种灵丹妙药几乎是不限量，敞开了供应，种种有利条件结合，修行速度不快那才叫遇鬼了。

Actually, this rapid advancement was due to them deliberately slowing down, as the teacher once said that everything has two sides; advancing too fast meant unstable foundations.

qí shí jiù shì zhè yàng de shēng jí sù dù ， hái shì tā liǎ kè yì fàng huǎn le de jié guǒ ， yīn wèi shī fù zài zhǐ dǎo de shí hòu céng shuō ， fán shì dōu shì yǒu liǎng miàn de ， xiū xíng sù dù tài kuài ， jiù yì wèi zhe gēn jī bù wěn 。

其实就是这样的升级速度，还是她俩刻意放缓了的结果，因为师傅在指导的时候曾说，凡事都是有两面的，修行速度太快，就意味着根基不稳。

The sisters followed their teacher's words religiously, intentionally slowing down to ensure a solid foundation. Otherwise, advancing to late-stage Immortal Core and becoming great cultivators within two hundred years wasn't impossible.

ér liǎng jiě mèi duì lín xuān de huà ， kě shì fèng ruò shén míng ， yú shì gù yì fàng huǎn le yī xiē sù dù ， yǐ biàn gēn jī néng gòu zhā shí wěn gù ， fǒu zé liǎng bǎi nián shí jiān ， jiù shì jìn jiē dào yuán yīng hòu qī ， chéng wéi dà xiū xiān zhě ， yě wèi shǐ bù kě néng de 。

而两姐妹对林轩的话，可是奉若神明，于是故意放缓了一些速度，以便根基能够扎实稳固，否则两百年时间，就是进阶到元婴后期，成为大修仙者，也未始不可能的。

Compared to them, Shangguan Mudouyu's progress was much slower but still outpaced her daughters, now at the middle stage of Immortal Core.

yǔ tā men xiāng bǐ ， shàng guān mù yǔ de xiū xíng sù dù jiù yào màn shàng xǔ duō ， bù guò yóu yú jiào gāo de yuán gù ， hái shì bǐ liǎng gè nǚ ér gèng shèng yī chóu ， rú jīn yǐ shì yuán yīng zhōng qī de dǐng fēng 。

与她们相比，上官暮雨的修行速度就要慢上许多，不过由于较高的缘故，还是比两个女儿更胜一筹，如今已是元婴中期的顶峰。

"Uncle, when will you come out of your meditation?"

“ bù zhī dào shī fù shén me shí hòu cái néng chū guān ne ？”

“不知道师傅什么时候才能出关呢？”

Shangguan Yan sat cross-legged, not meditating but supporting her chin with her hand. Her face showed a mix of longing and worry.

shàng guān yàn pán xī ér zuò ， rán ér què bìng méi yǒu xiū xíng ， ér shì yòng shǒu zhī chēng zhe xià hé ， liǎn shàng mǎn shì sī niàn zhī sè 。

上官雁盘膝而坐，然而却并没有修行，而是用手支撑着下颌，脸上满是思念之色。

It wasn't surprising; even if they couldn't see their primary body or second Immortal Core for years, they didn't dare disturb the Hundred Herbs Valley to check on him. They had no idea how his meditation was progressing.

yě nán guài xiǎo yā tou rú cǐ ， bié shuō shī fù de běn tǐ le ， jiù suàn dì èr yuán yīng ， yě yǒu shù nián bù céng jiàn dào guò ， ér tā men yòu bù gǎn dào bǎi huā gǔ qù dǎ rǎo ， yě bù zhī dào shī fù bì guān xiū xíng chéng zěn yàng 。

也难怪小丫头如此，别说师傅的本体了，就算第二元婴，也有数年不曾见到过，而她们又不敢到百花谷去打扰，也不知道师傅闭关修行成怎样。

Had he hit a bottleneck?

lián dì èr yuán yīng dōu bù zài chū lái ， nán dào shì yù jiàn le píng jǐng me ？

连第二元婴都不再出来，难道是遇见了瓶颈么？

A worried expression appeared on Shangguan Yan's face before she shook her head. Why worry unnecessarily? With such abilities, even if faced with great difficulties, he would surely overcome them. It was better for her to focus on cultivation and not disappoint his expectations.

shàng guān yàn de liǎn shàng lù chū jǐ fēn dān xīn zhī sè ， suí hòu yáo le yáo tóu ， zì jǐ hé bì zì xún fán nǎo ne ， yǐ shī fù de néng nài ， jiù suàn yǒu zài dà de kùn nán ， yě yí dìng kě yǐ kè fú ， zì jǐ yǔ qí zài zhè lǐ hú sī luàn xiǎng ， bù rú nǔ lì xiū xíng ， zhǐ yǒu shí lì tí gāo le ， cái bù suàn gū fù shī fù hòu wàng de 。

上官雁的脸上露出几分担心之色，随后摇了摇头，自己何必自寻烦恼呢，以师傅的能耐，就算有再大的困难，也一定可以克服，自己与其在这里胡思乱想，不如努力修行，只有实力提高了，才不算辜负师傅厚望的。

With this thought, Shangguan Yan put away her melancholy feelings and raised her jade hand, drawing intricate seals in the air...

xiǎng dào zhè lǐ ， shàng guān yàn jiāng yǒu xiē chóu chàng de xīn qíng shōu shí qǐ ， tóng shí yù shǒu tái qǐ ， zài bàn kōng zhōng huá guò yī dào dào guǐ jì ， fǎ yìn biàn huàn bù yǐ ……

想到这里，上官雁将有些惆怅的心情收拾起，同时玉手抬起，在半空中划过一道道诡计，法印变幻不已……

But at that moment,

rán ér jiù zài cǐ kè 。

然而就在此刻。

Boom!

hōng ！

轰！

An unimaginable loud noise echoed through the air, far more shocking than a thunderclap. Shangguan Yan stumbled, nearly losing control of her mind if not for her stable mental state.

yī shēng nán yǐ xiǎng xiàng de jù xiǎng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， qíng tiān pī lì yǔ tā xiāng bǐ ， gēn běn jiù bù zhí yī tí ， shàng guān yàn yí gè liè qiè ， ruò bú shì tā de xīn shén hái suàn wěn gù ， chà yì diǎn bèi zhèn dé zǒu huǒ rù mó 。

一声难以想象的巨响传入耳朵，晴天霹雳与她相比，根本就不值一提，上官雁一个趔趄，若不是她的心神还算稳固，差一点被震得走火入魔。

What was happening?

zhè shì zěn me le ？

这是怎么了？

The young girl opened her eyes, her face filled with shock and curiosity.

shào nǚ zhēng kāi yǎn móu ， qiào liǎn shàng chōng mǎn le jīng è yǔ hào qí zhī sè 。

少女睁开眼眸，俏脸上充满了惊愕与好奇之色。

Such a loud noise; even in the depths of Black Wind Island, she couldn't escape it. Was there an external enemy invading?

rú cǐ dà de jù xiǎng ， tā zài hēi fēng dǎo shēn chù ， yě méi néng miǎn sú ， bèi bō jí dào le ， nán dào shì yǒu wài dí rù qīn me ？

如此大的巨响，她在黑风岛深处，也没能免俗，被波及到了，难道是有外敌入侵么？

No, that sound came from deeper within the island.

bú duì ， nà dòng jìng ， fēn míng shì cóng dǎo yǔ gēng shēn chù chuán lái de 。

不对，那动静，分明是从岛屿更深处传来的。

That direction... It seemed like Uncle's cave dwelling!

nà ge fāng xiàng …… hǎo xiàng shì shī fù de dòng fǔ ！

那个方向……好像是师傅的洞府！

Could it be...

nán dào shuō ……

难道说……

Thoughts raced through her mind. Although Shangguan Yan was relatively calm compared to others, she couldn't sit still in such a situation. She transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the source of the noise.

nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， jǐn guǎn zài tóng líng rén zhōng ， shàng guān yàn suàn shì chén wěn le ， dàn yě yào fēn shì qíng de ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， nǎ lǐ zuò dé zhù ， lì kè huà wèi yī dào jīng hóng ， cháo zhe jù xiǎng shēng fā chū de fāng xiàng fēi qù le 。

脑海中念头转过，尽管在同龄人中，上官雁算是沉稳了，但也要分事情的，此时此刻，哪里坐得住，立刻化为一道惊虹，朝着巨响声发出的方向飞去了。

As an Immortal Core中期 cultivator, her speed wasn't slow. In just a few breaths, she arrived at the Hundred Herbs Valley. However, she found that someone had beaten her there; not only was her mother and sister already present, but several other disciples from Hundred Herbs Sect had also quietly arrived.

zuò wéi yuán yīng zhōng qī de xiū xiān zhě ， cǐ nǚ xiàn zài de dùn sù ， yě bù màn ， bù guò jǐ xī ， jiù lái dào le bǎi huā gǔ ， rán ér què fā xiàn ， yǒu rén fǎn yìng bǐ tā hái yào xùn sù ， bù jǐn mǔ qīn yǔ mèi mèi zǎo jiù dào le ， bǎi cǎo mén qí tā de dì zǐ ， yě yǒu bù shǎo ， qiāo wú shēng xī de lái dào le cǐ chù 。

作为元婴中期的修仙者，此女现在的遁速，也不慢，不过几息，就来到了百花谷，然而却发现，有人反映比她还要迅速，不仅母亲与妹妹早就到了，百草门其他的弟子，也有不少，悄无声息的来到了此处。
