shù yuè hòu 。
数月后。
Several months later.
yún zhōu mǒu huāng wú de píng yuán 。
云州某荒芜的平原。
In a desolate plain of Yunzhou.
jiàn qì zòng héng ” fǎ bǎo fēi wǔ ， wǔ sè líng guāng yǔ yǒu hēi de mó qì ” rú liǎng tóu xiōng měng de guài shòu ， zài bàn kōng zhōng hù xiāng sī yǎo zhe 。
剑气纵横”法宝飞舞，五色灵光与黝黑的魔气”如两头凶猛的怪兽，在半空中互相撕咬着。
"Jade Sword Qi Soaring, Talismans Flying," the magical artifacts danced through the air. Five-colored spiritual light clashed with dark demonic energy, like two fierce beasts tearing at each other in mid-air.
yī huì er líng guāng jiāng mó qì yā guò ， yī huì er mó qì yòu sà rán bào zhǎng le 。 yī shí piàn kè ， jìng chéng xiàn jiāo zhuó ， nán yǐ qū fēn chū shuí shèng shuí fù ， zhǐ yǒu pī lǐ pā lā de bào xiǎng shēng ” bù tíng de chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
一会儿灵光将魔气压过，一会儿魔气又飒然暴涨了。一时片刻，竟呈现胶着，难以区分出谁胜谁负，只有噼里啪啦的爆响声”不停的传入耳朵。
For a while, the spiritual light dominated, then the demonic energy surged back. The battle seemed to be evenly matched, making it difficult to determine who was winning or losing, except for the constant crackling and popping sounds that filled the air.
xiǎn rán ， zhè shì xiū shì yǔ gǔ mó zhèng zài zhēng dòu ， shuāng fāng gè yǒu bǎi yú rén zuǒ yòu ， rén shù bù duō ， rán ér shì jūn lì dí ， zhè dòu fǎ què xiǎn de gé wài de cǎn liè le 。
显然，这是修士与古魔正在争斗，双方各有百余人左右，人数不多，然而势均力敌，这斗法却显得格外的惨烈了。
Clearly, this was a conflict between cultivators and ancient demons. Both sides had about a hundred people each, but they were evenly matched, making the fight all the more brutal.
zài bīng pò mó zǔ de fēn hún jiàng lín yǐ qián ” gǔ mó de gōng shì ， suī rán shōu liǎn le xǔ duō ， zhuǎn ér zhòng diǎn jiā qiáng tiān zhōu de fáng wù ， dàn bìng bù yì wèi zhe ， duì qí tā shí yí gè zhōu ， jiù fàng qì diào le ， zhǐ bù guò xiāng duì yǐ qián lái shuō ， gōng shì méi yǒu nà me měng è ， dàn yǔ xiū shì jiān de zhēng dòu ” wú shí wú kè ” cóng lái jiù méi yǒu tíng zhǐ guò 。
在冰魄魔祖的分魂降临以前”古魔的攻势，虽然收敛了许多，转而重点加强天州的防务，但并不意味着，对其他十一个州，就放弃掉了，只不过相对以前来说，攻势没有那么猛恶，但与修士间的争斗”无时无刻”从来就没有停止过。
Before the soul fragment of Ice Soul Demon Ancestor arrived, the demonic forces had toned down their attacks, focusing on reinforcing Tianzhou's defenses. However, this didn't mean they had abandoned the other eleven states; it just meant that their attacks weren't as fierce compared to before. The conflict between cultivators and demons never ceased.
yǎn kàn shuāng fāng shì jūn lì dí ” zhè yàng dǎ xià qù ， jiù suàn shuí zuì hòu qǔ dé shèng lì ” nà yě kěn dìng shì shā dí yī qiān ， zì sǔn bā bǎi de jié jú 。
眼看双方势均力敌”这样打下去，就算谁最后取得胜利”那也肯定是杀敌一千，自损八百的结局。
As both sides were evenly matched, a prolonged battle would result in heavy losses for all involved—kill one thousand, lose eight hundred.
rán ér jiù zài zhè shí ， yuǎn chù jīng máng dà zuò ， wǔ yán liù sè de guāng diǎn chū xiàn zài shì xiàn zhōng 。
然而就在这时，远处惊芒大做，五颜六色的光点出现在视线中。
Suddenly, from afar, a brilliant light appeared, with colorful light points entering the vision.
“ gāi sǐ ， shì xiū xiān zhě ， chè ！”
“该死，是修仙者，撤！”
"Damn it, they're cultivators! Retreat!"
nà wéi shǒu de gǔ mó shén shí sǎo guò ” dùn shí dà jīng shī sè ， máng fēn fù shǒu xià gǎn kuài shǎn rén le 。
那为首的古魔神识扫过”顿时大惊失色，忙吩咐手下赶快闪人了。
The leading demon's divine sense swept over and instantly caused alarm. It hurriedly instructed its subordinates to retreat.
xiū xiān zhě suī yǒu shì bù guān jǐ ， gāo gāo guà qǐ de xìng gé ， dàn xiàn zài mó zāi jiàng lín tiān yún shí èr zhōu ， qíng kuàng yǔ yǐ qián zì yòu bù tóng 。
修仙者虽有事不关己，高高挂起的性格，但现在魔灾降临天云十二州，情况与以前自又不同。
Although cultivators generally have an "it doesn't concern me" attitude, the situation in Tianyun Twelve States was different now that a demonic calamity had struck. Even unfamiliar cultivators would lend a hand if they could help their own kind fight against the demons.
jí shǐ shì sù bù xiāng shí de xiū shì ， kàn jiàn běn zú zhī rén yǔ gǔ mó zhēng dòu ， zhǐ yào yǒu bǎ wò ， nà yě kěn dìng huì bāng shǒu 。
即使是素不相识的修士，看见本族之人与古魔争斗，只要有把握，那也肯定会帮手。
With the sudden addition of hundreds of reinforcements, it wouldn't be beneficial for them to stay.
yuán běn shuāng fāng shì jūn lì dí ， rú jīn duì fāng zhè biān ， tū rán duō chū shù yǐ bǎi jì de yuán jūn ， nà zì jǐ nǎ huì tǎo dé hǎo chù 。
原本双方势均力敌，如今对方这边，突然多出数以百计的援军，那自己哪会讨得好处。
The demons weren't stupid; of course, retreat was the sensible move!
gǔ mó bìng bù shǎ ， dāng rán gǎn kuài chè tuì shì zhèng jīng a ！
古魔并不傻，当然赶快撤退是正经啊！
"Trying to escape now? Too late!"
“ xiǎng zǒu ， wǎn le ！”
“想走，晚了！”
The cultivators saw the distant light and grinned. They wouldn't let the demons leave easily. The sword qi intensified, making their attacks more fierce.
nà xiē xiū shì yě kàn jiàn yuǎn dào ér lái de jīng hóng ， yí gè gè lù chū xǐ xiào yán kāi zhī sè dāng rán bú huì ràng gǔ mó men qīng yì pǎo le ， jiàn qì dà zuò gōng shì líng lì le xǔ duō 。
那些修士也看见远道而来的惊虹，一个个露出喜笑颜开之色当然不会让古魔们轻易跑了，剑气大做攻势凌厉了许多。
"Fucking bastards!"
“ kě wù ！”
“可恶！”
The demons desperately tried to break free, unleashing various powerful demonic techniques. The battle instantly became several times more intense, with cries of agony echoing as they fell.
gǔ mó men jí yú tuō shēn ， zì rán yě bú huì yǒu suǒ bǎo liú ， gè zhǒng lì hài mó gōng fēng kuáng shǐ zài 。
古魔们急于脱身，自然也不会有所保留，各种厉害魔功疯狂使再。
However, the demons couldn't escape because just a few breaths later, those distant cultivators joined the fray.
shà shí jiān ， zhàn dòu bǐ gāng gāng jī liè le shù bèi yǒu yú ， bù shí yǒu yǔn luò qián de cǎn jiào chuán rù ěr duǒ lǐ 。
霎时间，战斗比刚刚激烈了数倍有余，不时有陨落前的惨叫传入耳朵里。
After a cup of tea's time:
dàn gǔ mó men zuì zhōng hái shì méi néng liū zǒu yīn wèi jǐn jǐn jǐ xī zhī hòu nà xiē yuǎn dào ér lái de xiū shì jiù jiā rù le zhàn dòu “…………
但古魔们最终还是没能溜走因为仅仅几息之后那些远道而来的修士就加入了战斗“…………
"Thank you for your assistance; otherwise, my Lightning Sword Sect would have suffered heavy losses." The speaker was an elderly man in his fifties, but he looked vigorous. He was a late-stage condensation core cultivator, just one step away from forming an immortal embryo.
yī zhǎn chá de gōng fu yǐ hòu 。
一盏茶的功夫以后。
"Haha, it’s our duty," the red-faced old man on the other side said with a chuckle. "Against demons, we should stand united."
“ duō xiè dào yǒu chū shǒu xiàng zhù ， fǒu zé wǒ léi jiàn zōng kěn dìng huì sǔn shī cǎn zhòng 。” shuō huà de shì yī wǔ shí yú suì de lǎo zhě ， rán ér què xiǎn de jīng shén jué lì ， zhè shì yī míng níng dān hòu qī de xiū xiān zhě ， jù lí yuán yīng zhǐ shèng xià yī bù zhī yáo le 。
“多谢道友出手相助，否则我雷剑宗肯定会损失惨重。”说话的是一五十余岁的老者，然而却显得精神矍栎，这是一名凝丹后期的修仙者，距离元婴只剩下一步之遥了。
"By the way, are you also heading to Linglong Valley?"
“ hē hē ， dào yǒu kè qì ” miàn duì gǔ mó ， wǒ men xiū shì běn jiù yīng gāi tóng chóu dí kài de 。” duì miàn de shì yī míng hóng liǎn lǎo zhě nián líng xiǎn rán hái yào dà dé duō ， liǎn shàng dōu bèi zhòu wén tián mǎn le 。
“呵呵，道友客气”面对古魔，我们修士本就应该同仇敌忾的。”对面的是一名红脸老者年龄显然还要大得多，脸上都被皱纹填满了。
"Yes, Baxuan Pavilion, Songfeng Academy, and Tianya Hai Pavilion jointly issued a Celestial Alliance Order. As cultivators, how could we not respond? After all, as long as ancient demons remain, there's no safe place for us in the Twelve States of Tianyun. It’s said that Senior Lin from Profound Obscure Stage is also at Linglong Valley. If I can meet him on this journey, it would be worth dying."
“ kàn dào yǒu men gǎn lù de fāng xiàng ， kě yě shì qián wǎng líng lóng gǔ ？”
“看道友们赶路的方向，可也是前往玲珑谷？”
"Haha, our Lightning Sword Sect is the same. Although we are few and weak, we must do our part to eliminate ancient demons. We're heading to Linglong Valley as well; why don't we join forces?"
“ bù cuò ， bài xuān gé ， sōng fēng shū yuàn ， hái yǒu tiān yá hǎi gé ， lián hé fā chū xiān méng lìng ， nǐ wǒ shēn wèi xiū xiān zhě yòu nǎ néng bù jī jí xiǎng yìng ne ， bì jìng gǔ mó yī rì bù chú ， zhè tiān yún shí èr zhōu ， dōu méi yǒu wǒ děng xiū shì de ān shēng zhī suǒ ， jù shuō nà wèi dòng xuán qī de lín qián bèi yě zài líng lóng gǔ ， cǐ qù rú guǒ néng gòu jiàn shàng yí miàn ” lǎo xiǔ jiù shì sǐ dōu gān xīn le 。”
“不错，拜轩阁，松风书院，还有天涯海阁，联合发出仙盟令，你我身为修仙者又哪能不积极响应呢，毕竟古魔一日不除，这天云十二州，都没有我等修士的安生之所，据说那位洞玄期的林前辈也在玲珑谷，此去如果能够见上一面”老朽就是死都甘心了。”
"We share the same intent. By combining our forces, our safety will increase significantly," the red-faced old man agreed.
“ hē hē wǒ léi jiàn zōng yě shì yī yàng ， suī rán shì dān lì báo ， dàn yě yào wèi miè shā gǔ mó jǐn yī fèn lì de ， cǐ qù tóng yàng shì qián wǎng líng lóng gǔ ， bù rú wǒ men yī tóng qián wǎng rú hé 。”
“呵呵我雷剑宗也是一样，虽然势单力薄，但也要为灭杀古魔尽一份力的，此去同样是前往玲珑谷，不如我们一同前往如何。”
Both sides indeed joined forces and flew towards Linglong Valley under their respective light travels.
“ lǎo fū yě zhèng yǒu cǐ yì nǐ wǒ liǎng pài hé bīng yī chù ” ān quán xì shù yě huì tí gāo xǔ duō 。” nà hóng liǎn lǎo zhě fǔ xū zàn tóng de shuō 。
“老夫也正有此意你我两派合兵一处”安全系数也会提高许多。”那红脸老者抚须赞同的说。
This scene was repeated in many places of Yunzhou, with millions of cultivators flying to Linglong Valley from not just Yunzhou but Qingzhou, Lingzhou, and other regions. The major sects and families, along with formidable independent cultivators, rushed there as well.
suí hòu shuāng fāng guǒ rán bìng zuò yī chù ， jià zhù dùn guāng fēi xiàng le líng lóng gǔ 。
随后双方果然并作一处，驾驻遁光飞向了玲珑谷。
The reason? The three major forces jointly issued the Celestial Alliance Order.
zhè yí mù zài yún zhōu hěn duō dì fāng dōu fā shēng zhe ， shù yǐ bǎi wàn jì de xiū xiān zhě xiàng zhe líng lóng gǔ fēi lái le 。 bù jǐn yún zhōu qīng zhōu ， líng zhōu ， zǒng zhī qí tā de zhōu fǔ ， nà xiē zōng mén jiā zú de xiū xiān zhě hái yǒu shí lì bù sú de sàn xiū ， yě cóng sì miàn bā fāng gǎn wǎng líng lóng gǔ 。
这一幕在云州很多地方都发生着，数以百万计的修仙者向着玲珑谷飞来了。不仅云州青州，灵州，总之其他的州府，那些宗门家族的修仙者还有实力不俗的散修，也从四面八方赶往玲珑谷。
A Celestial Alliance is a union of cultivators established after the demonic calamity struck, under the advocacy of major sects and families. No one wanted to be attacked individually; thus, the alliance aimed to coordinate efforts against ancient demons.
zhì yú yuán yóu ， zé shì sān dà shì lì ” lián hé jiāng xiān méng lìng fā chū 。
至于缘由，则是三大势力”联合将仙盟令发出。
While the intentions were good, no one had anticipated the scale of this demonic calamity. The alliance was established but proved ineffective as various forces were divided by demon hordes, leading to separate battles.
xiān méng ， gù míng sī yì ， jiù shì xiū xiān zhě zhī lián méng ， zhè shì mó zāi jiàng lín yǐ hòu ， zài nà xiē dà de zōng mén jiā zú de chàng dǎo xià ， jiàn lì qǐ lái de 。
仙盟，顾名思义，就是修仙者之联盟，这是魔灾降临以后，在那些大的宗门家族的倡导下，建立起来的。
Tianzhou and Youzhou fell in succession, and other regions faced dire situations.
bì jìng shuí yě bù xiǎng bèi gè gè jī pò ” jiàn lì xiān méng de mù dì ， jiù shì wèi le tǒng yī diào dù ， kàng jī gǔ mó 。
毕竟谁也不想被各个击破”建立仙盟的目的，就是为了统一调度，抗击古魔。
However, this time was different. Lin Xuan single-handedly defeated three waves of demonic armies, his Profound Obscure Stage cultivation restored the spirits of the cultivators.
dǎ suàn shì hǎo de ， rán ér zhè mó zāi de xiōng yǒng chéng dù ， què shì shuí yě méi yǒu liào dào de 。
打算是好的，然而这魔灾的汹涌程度，却是谁也没有料到的。
Lin Xuan wasn't one to give up halfway; if he didn't know before, now that he had returned to Tianyun Twelve States, he would completely eliminate the demonic calamity. Although a Profound Obscure cultivator, he couldn't single-handedly combat the entire demonic threat.
jié guǒ xiān méng jiàn lì shì jiàn lì qǐ lái le ， què gēn běn méi yǒu qǐ dào shén me zuò yòng ， gè dà shì lì ， dōu bèi mó zú dà jūn fēn gé kāi le ， zuì hòu hái shì gè zì wéi zhàn 。
结果仙盟建立是建立起来了，却根本没有起到什么作用，各大势力，都被魔族大军分隔开了，最后还是各自为战。
Lin Xuan never saw himself as a savior; blind confidence was inappropriate. To deal with ancient demons from across realms required the combined strength of all Tianyun Twelve States' cultivation communities.
tiān zhōu yōu zhōu ， xiāng xù xiàn miǎo ， zhì yú qí tā de zhōu fǔ ， qíng kuàng yě shì bù róng lè guān de 。
天州幽州，相续陷淼，至于其他的州府，情况也是不容乐观的。
After consulting with Lu Ying'er and his four companions, Baxuan Pavilion took the lead in issuing the Celestial Alliance Order. However, this matter was significant, so agreement from Songfeng Academy and Tianya Hai Pavilion was necessary as well.
rán ér zhè cì bù tóng ， lín xuān yǐ yī rén zhī lì ， jiāng sān lù mó zú dà jūn dǎ dé diū kuī xiè jiǎ ， tā dòng xuán qī de xiū wèi ， gèng ràng xiū shì men dī luò dī shì qì dé yǐ huī fù 。
然而这次不同，林轩以一人之力，将三路魔族大军打得丢盔卸甲，他洞玄期的修为，更让修士们低落的士气得以恢复。
If it were a different time, the leaders of these three factions would have debated for a long time. But with Lin Xuan's presence, everything became straightforward.
lín xuān bú shì zuò shì qíng bàn tú ér fèi de rén wù ， rú guǒ bù xiǎo de yě jiù bà le ， rú jīn jì rán zhòng huí tiān yún shí èr zhōu ， dāng rán yào jiāng mó zāi gěi wán quán mǒ chú ” rán ér tā suī rán shì dòng xuán qī xiū xiān zhě ， què yě bù kě néng yǐ yī rén zhī lì ” duì kàng zhěng gè mó zāi de 。
林轩不是做事情半途而废的人物，如果不晓得也就罢了，如今既然重回天云十二州，当然要将魔灾给完全抹除”然而他虽然是洞玄期修仙者，却也不可能以一人之力”对抗整个魔灾的。
After all, if not for his aid, both sides might already be destroyed. The two factions couldn't ignore his instructions; moreover, their support was crucial since he aimed to end the demonic calamity.
lín xuān cóng méi yǒu bǎ zì jǐ dàng chéng jiù shì zhǔ ， máng mù zì xìn shì bú duì de ” xiǎng yào duì fù kuà jiè ér lái de gǔ mó ， kěn dìng xū yào jí hé zhěng jīn tiān yún shí èr zhōu xiū xiān jiè lì liàng de 。
林轩从没有把自己当成救世主，盲目自信是不对的”想要对付跨界而来的古魔，肯定需要集合整今天云十二州修仙界力量的。
With unanimous agreement among the three factions, the Celestial Alliance Order was smoothly issued. Before that, Lin Xuan's strength had spread throughout Tianyun Twelve States.
lín xuān yǔ lù yíng ér sì nǚ shāng liáng zhī hòu ， jiù ràng bài xuān gé qiān tóu ， jiāng xiān méng lìng fā chū 。
林轩与陆盈儿四女商量之后，就让拜轩阁牵头，将仙盟令发出。
News of a Profound Obscure cultivator leading them against ancient demons made all cultivators in the regionboiled over (boiling). Major sects and powerful independent cultivators responded enthusiastically, while even those with decent cultivation rushed to Linglong Valley. They knew that the outcome of this battle was directly related to each one of them; if they couldn't defeat the ancient demons under the guidance of this Profound Obscure senior, the realm might truly fall into demon hands.
dāng rán ， zī shì tǐ dà ， yī jiā zuò bù liǎo zhǔ ， sōng fēng shū yuàn yǔ tiān yá hǎi gé yě yào tóng yì cái xíng de 。
当然，兹事体大，一家做不了主，松风书院与天涯海阁也要同意才行的。
In such a moment, self-preservation was impossible. More strength meant more chances for victory.
rú guǒ huàn yí gè shí jiān ， sān pài de jù tóu ， kǒng pà huì cuō shāng liáng jiǔ ， rán ér yǒu lín xuān zuò zhèn cǐ chù ” zì rán yī qiè dōu bú shì wèn tí le 。
如果换一个时间，三派的巨头，恐怕会磋商良久，然而有林轩坐镇此处”自然一切都不是问题了。
The large-scale action by cultivators didn't go unnoticed by the demons. They dispatched elite demonic forces to hunt down those heading to Linglong Valley while also reinforcing Tianzhou's defenses!~!
Several months later.
In a desolate plain of Yunzhou.
"Jade Sword Qi Soaring, Talismans Flying," the magical artifacts danced through the air. Five-colored spiritual light clashed with dark demonic energy, like two fierce beasts tearing at each other in mid-air.
For a while, the spiritual light dominated, then the demonic energy surged back. The battle seemed to be evenly matched, making it difficult to determine who was winning or losing, except for the constant crackling and popping sounds that filled the air.
