shù bǎi zhàng zhè wài ， suǒ yǒu de rén lèi xiū xiān zhě dōu jīng dāi le 。
数百丈这外，所有的人类修仙者都惊呆了。
Hundreds of feet away, all the human cultivators were stunned.
yí gè gè dèng dà le yǎn zhū ， rú guǒ bú shì kàn jiàn tóng bàn yǔ zì jǐ yī yàng jīng è ， tā men jī hū dōu yào yǐ wéi ， zì jǐ zài zuò mèng 。
一个个瞪大了眼珠，如果不是看见同伴与自己一样惊愕，他们几乎都要以为，自己在做梦。
Each one widened their eyes in shock. If it wasn't for seeing their companions equally shocked, they almost thought they were dreaming.
bù ， zuò mèng yě méi yǒu zhè me qí huàn de 。
不，做梦也没有这么奇幻的。
No, even dreams couldn't be this fantastical.
táng táng de gǔ mó ， jiāng tā men zhuī dé shàng tiān wú mén ， xià dì wú lù de cún zài ， jū rán bèi rén yí gè yǎn shén gěi miǎo le 。
堂堂的古魔，将他们追得上天无门，下地无路的存在，居然被人一个眼神给秒了。
A powerful ancient demon had been chasing them relentlessly, but now someone had easily dispatched it with just a glance. Not a single finger moved the entire time.
zhì shǐ zhì zhōng ， lián shǒu zhǐ tou dōu bù céng dòng 。
至始至终，连手指头都不曾动。
Was there anything in the world more exaggerated than that?
fàng yǎn tiān xià ， hái yǒu zhè me kuā zhāng de me ？
放眼天下，还有这么夸张的么？
Apart from shock, they truly couldn’t distinguish between reality and dreams.
chú le jīng è hái shì jīng è ， tā men zhēn de wú fǎ jiāng mèng jìng yǔ xiàn shí fēn qīng chǔ 。
除了惊愕还是惊愕，他们真的无法将梦境与现实分清楚。
The danger was over, yet no one felt relieved as the immensely powerful cultivator slowly flew towards them.
wēi jī jiě chú ， rán ér què méi yǒu yī móu rén gǎn jué qīng sōng ， yīn wèi nà qiáng dà wú bǐ de xiū xiān zhě ， zhèng huǎn huǎn de xiàng tā men fēi le guò lái 。
危机解除，然而却没有一牟人感觉轻松，因为那强大无比的修仙者，正缓缓的像他们飞了过来。
"Master, could this be a true immortal from above?"
“ shī fù ， nán dào zhè wèi shì tiān shàng de zhēn xiān me ？”
“师傅，难道这位是天上的真仙么？”
The plump-faced young man swallowed his saliva. Apart from celestial immortals, he couldn't imagine anyone in the world who would be so powerful.
nà yuán liǎn xiǎo pàng zi tūn le yī kǒu tuò mò ， chú le tiān shàng de xiān rén ， tā shí zài wú fǎ xiǎng xiàng tiān xià hái yǒu shén me rén néng gòu rú cǐ qiáng dà le 。
那圆脸小胖子吞了一口唾沫，除了天上的仙人，他实在无法想象天下还有什么人能够如此强大了。
In an instant, the formidable enemy was vanquished, even more exaggerated than the legendary realms. It had to be an immortal!
dàn zhǐ jiān ， qiáng dí huī fēi yān miè ， jū rán bǐ zhè chuán shuō zhōng de jìng jiè hái yào kuā zhāng dé duō ， nà bú shì xiān rén hái huì shì shén me ？
弹指间，强敌灰飞烟灭，居然比这传说中的境界还要夸张得多，那不是仙人还会是什么？
"Who knows."
“ wǒ yě bù xiǎo de 。”
“我也不晓得。”
The elder's expression was similar. Although his experiences were much broader compared to his nephew, Lin Xuan’s existence far exceeded what he could comprehend. So whether this person was a true immortal... "Even though I thought this guess was outrageous, I really couldn't dismiss it easily.
lǎo zhě de biǎo qíng yě chà bu duō ， suī rán yǔ shī zhí xiāng bǐ ， tā jiàn shí yào guǎng bó xǔ duō ， dàn lín xuān zhè yàng de cún zài ， yǐ jīng yuǎn yuǎn chāo chū tā néng gòu lǐ jiě de céng cì le ， suǒ yǐ duì fāng shì bú shì xiān rén ……“…… suī rán tā jué de zhè ge cāi cè yǒu xiē lí pǔ ， dàn hái zhēn bù gǎn qīng yì jiāng zhè ge jié lùn gěi fǒu dìng le 。
老者的表情也差不多，虽然与师侄相比，他见识要广博许多，但林轩这样的存在，已经远远超出他能够理解的层次了，所以对方是不是仙人……“……虽然他觉得这个猜测有些离谱，但还真不敢轻易将这个结论给否定了。
Powerful, the opponent wasn’t just ordinary strength.
qiáng dà ， duì fāng bú shì yì bān de qiáng 。
强大，对方不是一般的强。
Perhaps it truly was an immortal descending from above to eliminate ancient demons and save the cultivators of the Twelve States of Heavenly Clouds.
huò xǔ zhēn shì zhēn xiān xià jiè ， lái chǎn chú gǔ mó ， jiě jiù tiān yún shí èr zhōu de xiū xiān zhě 。
或许真是真仙下界，来铲除古魔，解救天云十二州的修仙者。
Others had similar thoughts. Hence when Lin Xuan arrived beside them, their greetings were varied.
qí tā rén de xiǎng fǎ yě chà bu duō ， gù ér dāng lín xuān lái dào shēn cè ， nà qǐng ān wèn hǎo de chēng hào kě jiù wǔ huā bā mén le 。
其他人的想法也差不多，故而当林轩来到身侧，那请安问好的称号可就五花八门了。
"Salute the senior."
“ gěi qián bèi jiàn lǐ 。”
“给前辈见礼。”
"Great True Immortal, prostrate yourself before your humble servant."
“ zhēn xiān dà rén zài shàng ， xiǎo de gěi nín kē tóu 。”
“真仙大人在上，小的给您磕头。”
"True Immortal?"
“ zhēn xiān ？”
“真仙？”
This title nearly tripped up Lin Xuan. He couldn't help but touch his nose, feeling as if something was amiss.
zhè chēng hū yě chà diǎn jiāng lín xuān lún le yī gēn tou ， tā bù yóu de mō le mō bí tóu ， yǐn yuē gǎn jué sì hū yǒu shén me gěi nòng cuò le 。
这称呼也差点将林轩纶了一跟头，他不由得摸了摸鼻头，隐约感觉似乎有什么给弄错了。
Looking around, he saw that the dozen or so cultivators had all knelt down, repeatedly bowing their heads in fear and trepidation.
fàng yǎn wàng qù ， zhǐ jiàn nà shí jǐ míng xiū xiān zhě ， yǐ tōng tōng guì le xià qù ， chōng zì jǐ lián lián kē tóu ， liǎn shàng tòu zhe hài pà yǔ huáng kǒng 。
放眼望去，只见那十几名修仙者，已通通跪了下去，冲自己连连磕头，脸上透着害怕与惶恐。
"This is either the Spirit Realm or the Ancient Demon Realm, why would the spirit energy be so thin?" Lin Xuan's cold voice echoed, carrying a tone of authority.
“ zhè jiū jìng shì líng jiè hái shì gǔ mó jiè ， líng qì zěn me huì rú cǐ xī bó ？” lín xuān qīng lěng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， lǐ miàn dài zhe wēi yán zhī sè 。
“这究竟是灵界还是古魔界，灵气怎么会如此稀薄？”林轩清冷的声音传入耳朵，里面带着威严之色。
"Spirit Realm, Ancient Demon Realm?"
“ líng jiè ， gǔ mó jiè ？”
“灵界，古魔界？”
This time, it was those pitiful young cultivators who exchanged glances. After a moment, the most senior elder spoke up. At this point, he had discerned some clues. If it were truly an immortal, they wouldn't ask such questions. This person likely came from the upper realms.
zhè yī huí ， lún dào nà xiē kě lián de xiǎo xiū xiān zhě miàn miàn xiāng qù le ， guò le piàn kè ， cái yóu nà xiū wèi zuì gāo de lǎo zhě kāi kǒu ， cǐ shí ， tā yǐn yǐn yě kàn chū yī xiē duān ní lái le ， ruò shì zhēn xiān ， kěn dìng bú huì rú cǐ wèn de ， zhè wèi ， duō bàn shì lái zì shàng jiè de dà néng xiū xiān zhě 。
这一回，轮到那些可怜的小修仙者面面相觑了，过了片刻，才由那修为最高的老者开口，此时，他隐隐也看出一些端倪来了，若是真仙，肯定不会如此问的，这位，多半是来自上界的大能修仙者。
Regardless, this was an existence he couldn’t afford to offend. Hence, his expression of respect didn't waver as he knelt and bowed: "Senior, this is not the Spirit Realm or the Ancient Demon Realm, but the Human Realm."
dàn bù guǎn rú hé ， zhè yě jué duì shì tā bù néng dé zuì de cún zài ， gù ér ， lǎo zhě liǎn shàng de gōng jìng ， méi yǒu fēn háo jiǎn ruò , diǎn tóu hā yāo de kāi kǒu le ：“ qǐ bǐng qián bèi ， zhè bú shì líng jiè ， yě bú shì gǔ mó jiè ， ér shì rén jiè 。”
但不管如何，这也绝对是他不能得罪的存在，故而，老者脸上的恭敬，没有分毫减弱,点头哈腰的开口了：“启禀前辈，这不是灵界，也不是古魔界，而是人界。”
"Human Realm," even with Lin Xuan’s composure, he turned pale. If it were a joke, he would have spit out his drink. Hadn’t they gone through so much trouble to arrive in the Spirit Realm? How could they end up back here after just a loop?
“ rén jiè ，“, jí biàn yǐ lín xuān de chéng fǔ ， yě bó rán biàn sè ， ruò shì hē shuǐ de huà ， kěn dìng yī kǒu pēn chū ， yǒu méi yǒu gǎo cuò ， zì jǐ qiān xīn wàn kǔ ， fèi jǐn zhǒng zhǒng bō zhé , hǎo bù róng yì cái lái dào líng jiè zhī zhōng ， zěn me zhuǎn le yī quān zhī hòu ， jū rán yòu chuán sòng huí lái le 。
“人界，“,即便以林轩的城府，也勃然变色，若是喝水的话，肯定一口喷出，有没有搞错，自己千辛万苦，费尽种种波折,好不容易才来到灵界之中，怎么转了一圈之后，居然又传送回来了。
"Wait."
jiù suàn shì kāi wán xiào ， yě bù dài zhè yàng dòu rén wán de 。
就算是开玩笑，也不带这样逗人玩的。
Lin Xuan suddenly frowned. The new moon had mentioned that millions of years ago, the laws of the universe had changed due to some reason.
“ děng děng 。”
“等等。”
Thus, even high-ranking cultivators from upper realms couldn’t break through the void to come here. Why was he any different?
lín xuān tū rán méi tou yí zhòu ， xīn yuè bú shì shuō guò ， jǐ bǎi wàn nián qián de shí hòu ， tiān dì fǎ zé jiù yīn wèi mǒu zhǒng yuán gù ， ér fā shēng gǎi biàn le 。
林轩突然眉头一皱，新月不是说过，几百万年前的时候，天地法则就因为某种缘故，而发生改变了。
Thinking this, his face turned slightly cold as he looked at the elder: "You didn't deceive me. This is truly the Human Realm?"
gù ér jí biàn shì shàng chuán wèi jiè miàn de xiū xiān zhě ， yě bù kě néng pò suì xū kōng lái rén jiè le ， zì jǐ zěn me néng gòu miǎn sú ？
故而即便是上圌位界面的修仙者，也不可能破碎虚空来人界了，自己怎么能够免俗？
Seeing Lin Xuan's anger, the elder was terrified. He had witnessed that scene firsthand; the ancient demon had been killed by this senior with just a glance.
xiǎng dào cǐ chù ， tā de liǎn sè biàn dé yǒu xiē yīn hán le , mù guāng shuò shuò ， wàng xiàng qián miàn de lǎo zhě ：“ nǐ méi yǒu piàn wǒ ， zhè zhēn de shì rén jiè me ？”
想到此处，他的脸色变得有些阴寒了,目光烁烁，望向前面的老者：“你没有骗我，这真的是人界么？”
"Senior, please calm down. Even if I were to eat a bear’s heart and a leopard’s liver, I would never dare deceive you. This is truly the Human Realm. If you doubt it, ask these nephews of mine," the elder was terrified and quickly knelt, repeatedly bowing his head towards Lin Xuan.
jiàn lín xuān fā huǒ ， nà lǎo zhě xià dé hún bù fù tǐ le ， gāng gāng de yí mù ， tā kě yǒu qīn yǎn mù dǔ ， nà gǔ mó jiù shì bèi zhè wèi qián bèi yí gè yǎn shén gěi miǎo shā diào de 。
见林轩发火，那老者吓得魂不附体了，刚刚的一幕，他可有亲眼目睹，那古魔就是被这位前辈一个眼神给秒杀掉的。
"Hmm?"
“ qián bèi xī nù ， wǎn bèi jiù suàn shì chī le xióng xīn bào zi dǎn ， yě jué bù gǎn duì nín yǒu suǒ qī mán ， zhè lǐ zhēn de shì rén jiè ， nǐ bù xiāng xìn de huà ， kě yǐ wèn wèn wǒ zhè xiē shī zhí 。” lǎo zhě xià dé mǎn liǎn huáng kǒng ， máng guì xià xiàng lín xuān lián lián kē tóu 。
“前辈息怒，晚辈就算是吃了熊心豹子胆，也绝不敢对您有所欺瞒，这里真的是人界，你不相信的话，可以问问我这些师侄。”老者吓得满脸惶恐，忙跪下像林轩连连磕头。
Lin Xuan raised his head and scanned the young cultivators.
“ ń ？”
“嗯？”
"Wham!" The lower-ranking cultivators all kneeled down, their voices trembling. Some even cried out in fear.
lín xuān tái qǐ tóu lú , mù guāng yě zài nà xiē nián qīng xiū shì de shēn shàng sǎo guò 。
林轩抬起头颅,目光也在那些年轻修士的身上扫过。
"Senior, Uncle is right. This truly is the Human Realm."
“ hū lā ” yī shēng ， zhè xiē dī jiē xiū shì quán guì xià ， shēng yīn dài zhe chàn dǒu ， hái yǒu de shèn zhì bèi xià kū 。
“呼啦”一声，这些低阶修士全跪下，声音带着颤抖，还有的甚至被吓哭。
"Yes, we dare not deceive you," they sobbed.
“ qián bèi ， shī shū shuō de méi cuò ， zhè lǐ zhēn de shì rén jiè de 。”
“前辈，师叔说的没错，这里真的是人界的。”
Recognizing these cultivators, Lin Xuan knew they hadn’t lied.
“ jiù shì ， wū wū ， wǒ men nǎ gǎn duì nín sā huǎng ne ？”
“就是，呜呜，我们哪敢对您撒谎呢？”
"Alright, get up."
shí rén zhǐ míng lín xuān hái shì yǒu de ， jiàn dào zhè yí mù , dāng rán xiǎo de zhè xiē xiū shì què rán méi yǒu chè huǎng le 。
识人指明林轩还是有的，见到这一幕,当然晓得这些修士确然没有撤谎了。
Lin Xuan’s expression softened. Deep down, he was even more frustrated. How could such an absurdity happen? Even with the change in the laws of the universe, it couldn't stop him. Could it be related to the teleportation array? Since it was restored by following a blueprint, perhaps it had inadvertently aligned with the laws of the universe, sending him back to the Human Realm.
“ hǎo le ， nǐ men qǐ lái 。”
“好了，你们起来。”
"Such luck,"
lín xuān shén sè yī huǎn , qí shí tā nèi xīn shēn chù ， gèng jiā yù mèn le , zěn me huì chū xiàn zhè yàng de wū lóng shì ne ， lián tiān dì fǎ zé de gǎi biàn “ dōu méi néng zǔ zhǐ zì jǐ ， nán dào shì nà chuán sòng zhèn de guān xì ， yīn wèi shì zhào māo huà hǔ de xiū fù ， suǒ yǐ fǎn ér shùn yìng le tiān dì fǎ zé ， mò míng qí miào jiù ràng zì jǐ chóng xīn huí dào rén jiè le 。
林轩神色一缓,其实他内心深处，更加郁闷了,怎么会出现这样的乌龙事呢，连天地法则的改变“都没能阻止自己，难道是那传送阵的关系，因为是照猫画虎的修复，所以反而顺应了天地法则，莫名其妙就让自己重新回到人界了。
Lin Xuan wanted to cry but that feeling of defeat only lasted for an instant. Transferring to the Human Realm again? He wasn’t afraid. Back when he was at the Separation stage, he had managed to reach the Spirit Realm. Now that he was at the Profound Stage, how could he be afraid of returning?
“ zhè yùn qì ，
“这运气，
Thinking this, Lin Xuan's expression improved.
lín xuān yǒu diǎn xiǎng kū ， bù guò nà zhǒng cuò bài gǎn yě jǐn jǐn shì yī shùn ér yǐ ， chuán dào rén jiè yòu rú hé ， dāng chū zì jǐ bù guò lí hé chū qī ， dōu yǒu bàn fǎ dào dá líng jiè ， xiàn zài yǐ jīng dòng xuán , nán dào hái pà huí bù qù 。
林轩有点想哭，不过那种挫败感也仅仅是一瞬而已，传到人界又如何，当初自己不过离合初期，都有办法到达灵界，现在已经洞玄,难道还怕回不去。
He was a tenacious person; jade needed to be refined before it became useful. He encouraged his disciples in the same way—without countless trials and tribulations, how could one ever become an immortal?
xiǎng dào zhè lǐ ， lín xuān de liǎn sè ， hǎo le yī xiē 。
想到这里，林轩的脸色，好了一些。
It wasn’t anything significant. This was just a small detour on his path of cultivation.
tā běn lái jiù shì bǎi zhé bù náo de xìng zi ， yù bù zuó bù chéng qì ， zì jǐ duì liǎng gè tú ér rú cǐ miǎn lì ， qí shí zài zì jǐ ， yě shì yī yàng dì ， bù bǎi liàn , yòu zěn me kě néng yǒu yī tiān néng gòu chéng xiān 。
他本来就是百折不挠的性子，玉不琢不成器，自己对两个徒儿如此勉励，其实在自己，也是一样地，不百炼,又怎么可能有一天能够成仙。
With this thought, Lin Xuan’s mood improved significantly. However, he clearly understood that knowledge about different realms mattered. The Human Realm couldn't compare to the Spirit Realm, but it wasn’t the only one. His primary task now was to determine where he had been teleported.
méi shén me liǎo bù qǐ , zhè bù guò shì zì jǐ xiū xiān wèn dào lù shàng de xiǎo chā qǔ 。
没什么了不起,这不过是自己修仙问道路上的小插曲。
Thinking this, he raised his head and regained his composure as he looked at the elder: "Tell me, which part of the Human Realm is this? There must be a place."
xīn zhōng rú cǐ xiǎng zhe ， lín xuān de xīn qíng ， hǎo le xǔ duō ， bù guò duì yú jiè miàn de zhī shí ， lín xuān hěn qīng chǔ ， rén jiè suī rán bù néng yǔ líng jiè xiāng bǐ ， dàn yě bú shì wéi yī ， rú jīn de shǒu yào rèn wù ， shì què dìng zì jǐ bèi chuán sòng dào le nǎ lǐ 。
心中如此想着，林轩的心情，好了许多，不过对于界面的知识，林轩很清楚，人界虽然不能与灵界相比，但也不是唯一，如今的首要任务，是确定自己被传送到了哪里。
Lin Xuan didn't mention the specific Human Realm; the other person was only at the Foundation Establishment stage. They wouldn’t know about different realms, so it would be in vain to say anything.
xiǎng dào zhè lǐ , tā tái qǐ tóu lú ， liǎn shàng yǐ jīng huī fù le cóng róng zhī sè ， kàn zhe shēn qián de lǎo zhě ：“ nà nǐ gào sù wǒ ， zhè lǐ shì rén jiè hé chù ， dì gè zǒng gāi yǒu yí gè 。
想到这里,他抬起头颅，脸上已经恢复了从容之色，看着身前的老者：“那你告诉我，这里是人界何处，地各总该有一个。
"This is Cloud State."
lín xuān méi yǒu shuō nǎ yí gè rén jiè zhè zhǒng huà yǔ ， duì fāng zhǐ shì zhù jī ， jiè miàn zhī shí kěn dìng bù xiǎo de ， shuō le yě shì bái shuō 。
林轩没有说哪一个人界这种话语，对方只是筑基，界面知识肯定不晓得，说了也是白说。
"What, Cloud State?"
“ zhè lǐ shì yún zhōu 。”
“这里是云州。”
Lin Xuan almost tripped again. This Cloud State might not be the same as the one he left. Perhaps they just had the same name.
“ shén me ， yún zhōu ？”
“什么，云州？”
However, Lin Xuan soon realized his mistake.
lín xuān yòu chà yì diǎn zāi le gè gēn tou ， suí hòu wěn zhù ， cǐ yún zhōu bù yí dìng shì bǐ yún zhōu ， yě xǔ jǐn jǐn shì dì míng xiāng tóng 。
林轩又差一点栽了个跟头，随后稳住，此云州不一定是彼云州，也许仅仅是地名相同。
When he asked more detailed questions, the other person actually mentioned all twelve states of Heavenly Clouds.
bù guò hěn kuài lín xuān jiù xiǎo de zì jǐ cuò le 。
不过很快林轩就晓得自己错了。
Was this a coincidence? Lin Xuan was truly shocked.
dāng tā zài xiáng xì xún wèn de shí hòu ， duì fāng jū rán wán zhěng de shuō chū le tiān yún shí èr zhōu 。
当他再详细询问的时候，对方居然完整的说出了天云十二州。
Previously, he heard that coincidences happen for a reason. Now, it seemed to be true.
yǒu méi yǒu gǎo cuò ， lín xuān shì zhēn de jīng le 。
有没有搞错，林轩是真的惊了。
The Human Realm had nine parts, and each one was vast. It just so happened that he arrived at the Twelve States of Heavenly Clouds, which he left from.
yǐ qián tā shì tīng shuō wú qiǎo bù chéng shū ， cǐ shí shì wán wán quán quán de xìn le 。
以前他是听说无巧不成书，此时是完完全全的信了。
After initial shock came joy. After all, randomly arriving in an unfamiliar place couldn’t compare to familiar places like the Twelve States of Heavenly Clouds. Over the years, where were his old acquaintances now?
rén jiè gòng yǒu jiǔ gè ， ér qiě měi yí gè dōu miàn jī guǎng bó ， piān piān jiù yǒu zhè me qiǎo hé , zì jǐ lái dào le lí kāi de tiān yún shí èr zhōu 。
人界共有九个，而且每一个都面积广博，偏偏就有这么巧合,自己来到了离开的天云十二州。
How was Little Sparrow? She had been in seclusion at the Five-Color Spirit Mountain when he went through the Netherworld Gate; she should have come out by now!
Hundreds of feet away, all the human cultivators were stunned.
Each one widened their eyes in shock. If it wasn't for seeing their companions equally shocked, they almost thought they were dreaming.
No, even dreams couldn't be this fantastical.
A powerful ancient demon had been chasing them relentlessly, but now someone had easily dispatched it with just a glance. Not a single finger moved the entire time.
Was there anything in the world more exaggerated than that?
Apart from shock, they truly couldn’t distinguish between reality and dreams.
The danger was over, yet no one felt relieved as the immensely powerful cultivator slowly flew towards them.
"Master, could this be a true immortal from above?"
The plump-faced young man swallowed his saliva. Apart from celestial immortals, he couldn't imagine anyone in the world who would be so powerful.
