yī nián de diǎn diǎn dī dī ， yǐ zhí de liǎng rén hǎo hǎo huí yì ， hé kuàng wèi lái de suì yuè lǐ ， zì jǐ yǔ ài qī hái huì xiāng shǒu zài yì qǐ 。
一年的点点滴滴，已值得两人好好回忆，何况未来的岁月里，自己与爱妻还会相守在一起。
A year's worth of memories was enough for Lin Xuan and his wife to cherish. After all, the future held more years together.
bù lùn jiān nán xiǎn zǔ ， yě bù lùn dí rén qiáng dà dào hé děng dì bù ， dōu bù lí bù qì 。
不论艰难险阻，也不论敌人强大到何等地步，都不离不弃。
No matter how difficult or dangerous the path of cultivation might be, they would not abandon each other.
xiū xiān zhī lù ， lì jīng kǎn kě ， dàn yīn wèi yǒu nǐ ， jiāng bù zài jì mò 。
修仙之路，历经坎坷，但因为有你，将不再寂寞。
The road of cultivation had been full of hardships, but with her by his side, it no longer felt lonely.
dāng rán ， shí lì dào le liǎng rén zhè yī bù ， zuò shì qíng yě bú huì zài fēng fēng huǒ huǒ ， ér shì lì qiú wěn tuǒ ， fǒu zé zhōng jiān chū xiàn shén me chā cuò ， kě jiù dé bù cháng shī le 。
当然，实力到了两人这一步，做事情也不会再风风火火，而是力求稳妥，否则中间出现什么差错，可就得不偿失了。
Of course, at their current strength, they wouldn't rush into things. Any mistakes could lead to significant losses.
yú shì ， suī rán jué dìng yào zǒu ， liǎng rén hái shì zài zhè xiǎo kōng jiān lǐ zhì liú le bàn nián zhī jiǔ ， yī lái ， xiǎng shòu shuāng xiū de tián mì yǔ wēn róu ， èr lái ， biàn shì jiāng mò yù zhēn líng jué xiū liàn dào lú huǒ chún qīng de dì bù ， bǎo zhèng dà péng niǎo de zhēn líng zhī xuè ， yǐ wán quán liàn huà diào le ， bú huì zài yǒu rèn hé de hòu huàn yǔ chè zhǒu 。
于是，虽然决定要走，两人还是在这小空间里滞留了半年之久，一来，享受双修的甜mì与温柔，二来，便是将墨玉真灵诀修炼到炉火纯青的地步，保证大鹏鸟的真灵之血，已完全炼化掉了，不会再有任何的后患与掣肘。
Thus, even though they were set to leave, the two lingered in this small space for half a year. They enjoyed the intimacy and tenderness of cultivation together, while also refining the Black Moon True Spirit Technique to perfection, ensuring that the true spirit blood of the great phoenix had been completely refined and would no longer be a hindrance.
sú huà shuō ， xiǎo xīn wú dà cuò ， lín xuān zuò shì qíng xiàng lái shì fēi cháng yán jǐn de 。
俗话说，小心无大错，林轩做事情向来是非常严谨的。
After all, as they say, "Better safe than sorry." Lin Xuan was always meticulous in his actions.
bì jìng qū qū bàn nián de shí jiān ér yǐ ， duì tā yǔ kǒng què lái shuō ， dōu bù zhí yī tí ， duō zài rén jiè zhì liú yī xià yě méi yǒu shén me liǎo bù qǐ 。
毕竟区区半年的时间而已，对他与孔雀来说，都不值一提，多在人界滞留一下也没有什么了不起。
A mere half year was nothing for him or the peacock. Staying a bit more in the mortal world wasn't a big deal either.
zhè bàn nián de shí guāng ， fū qī liǎ dāng rán yě bù jǐn jǐn shì róu qíng mì yì ， zhěng tiān nì zài yì qǐ ， lín xuān kě bù huì nà me méi chū xī ， ér shì huì tóng ài qī ， jiāng yǎn qián de mò yuè zú yí jì ， lǐ lǐ wài wài ， chóng xīn zǐ xì sōu suǒ ， nǎ pà shì yī chù cán yuán duàn bì ， yě bù fàng guò ， kě xī què zài yě méi yǒu shén me yǒu jià zhí de fā xiàn le 。
这半年的时光，夫妻俩当然也不仅仅是柔情mì意，整天腻在一起，林轩可不会那么没出息，而是会同爱妻，将眼前的墨月族遗迹，里里外外，重新仔细搜索，哪怕是一处残垣断壁，也不放过，可惜却再也没有什么有价值的发现了。
During these months, the couple didn't just indulge in sweet moments; Lin Xuan wouldn't be so lacking in spirit. Instead, he and his wife thoroughly searched through every inch of the Black Moon Clan's ruins, not missing even a single crumbling wall, though there were no more valuable discoveries.
suī yǒu yì diǎn shī wàng ， bù guò xiǎng xiǎng yě shì zhèng cháng ， rén guì zhī zú ， zài zhè lǐ ， tā men yǐ jīng shōu huò gòu duō 。
虽有一点失望，不过想想也是正常，人贵知足，在这里，他们已经收获够多。
Though disappointed, they understood that contentment was key. They had already reaped enough here.
yú shì gāi zǒu le 。
于是该走了。
It was time to go.
zhí zi zhī shǒu ， lín xuān yǔ kǒng què bìng jiān zhàn zhe ， wàng zhuó yǎn qián de jǐng wù ， yǎn zhōng dū yǒu yī xiē bù shě ， suī rán zhǐ zài zhè lǐ shēng huó le yī nián ér yǐ ， dàn nà shí guāng què jì tuō liǎo wú shù měi hǎo de huí yì 。
执子之手，林轩与孔雀并肩站着，望着眼前的景物，眼中都有一些不舍，虽然只在这里生活了一年而已，但那时光却寄托了无数美好的回忆。
Hand in hand with his beloved, Lin Xuan stood side by side, gazing at the scenery before them, their eyes filled with reluctance. Though they had only lived here for a year, those days held countless cherished memories.
“ yuàn yuàn ， wǒ men gāi zǒu le 。”，“ ń 。”
“媛媛，我们该走了。”，“嗯。”
"Yuan Yuan, we should leave," he said softly.
lín xuān wàng le yī yǎn ài qī ， yòu shǒu tái qǐ ， yī bǐng shì yàng gǔ piáo de zhǎng gē fú xiàn ér chū lín xuān háo bù yóu yù de jiāng fǎ lì zhù rù ， yī dào liàng lì de yuè yá xíng guāng bō chū xiàn le hěn hěn de xiàng zhe qián fāng de xū kōng zhǎn luò 。
林轩望了一眼爱妻，右手抬起，一柄式样古朴的长戈浮现而出林轩毫不犹豫的将法力注入，一道亮丽的月牙形光bō出现了狠狠的向着前方的虚空斩落。
She nodded in agreement.
cī lā shēng dà zuò ， suí hòu lín xuān jì chū le huàn líng tiān huǒ 。
刺啦声大做，随后林轩祭出了幻灵天火。
Lin Xuan raised his right hand, and an ancient-looking long spear appeared. Without hesitation, he infused it with magical power. A bright crescent-shaped light wave emerged and slashed forward into the void.
yǔ lái shí de qíng jǐng xiāng tóng ， suí zhe lín jǐng yī lián chuàn de dòng zuò ， yī dào zhí jìng zhàng xǔ de kōng jiān liè fèng ， chū xiàn zài le shì xiàn zhōng 。
与来时的情景相同，随着林井一连串的动作，一道直径丈许的空间裂缝，出现在了视线中。
A loud tearing sound echoed as Lin Xuan then summoned the Illusory Spirit Heaven Fire.
lín xuān jiàn le liǎn shàng lù chū mǎn yì zhī sè， suí hòu hún shēn qīng máng dà qǐ ， dài zhe kǒng què fēi le chū qù 。
林轩见了脸上lù出满意之sè，随后浑身青芒大起，带着孔雀飞了出去。
Just like on their way here, a space rift of about ten feet in diameter appeared before their eyes due to Lin Xuan's actions.
liǎng gè yuè hòu ， yī bù wéi rén zhī de shān gǔ 。
两个月后，一不为人知的山谷。
Satisfied with what he saw, Lin Xuan emitted a bright green light and took off with his wife.
cǐ kè yuán běn nǎi shì zhèng wǔ ， bì lán rú xǐ de tiān kōng wàn lǐ wú yún ， tiān qì hěn shì bù cuò ， rán ér jǐn jiē zhe ， sī háo zhēng zhào yě wú tiān kōng sà rán yīn chén xià qù le 。 yāo fēng dà zuò ， suí hòu bù kě sī yì de yí mù chū xiàn le 。
此刻原本乃是正午，碧蓝如洗的天空万里无云，天气很是不错，然而紧接着，丝毫征兆也无天空飒然yīn沉下去了。妖风大做，随后不可思议的一幕出现了。
Two months later, an unknown valley.
tiān kōng zhī zhōng ， jū rán piāo lái wǔ sè de yún duǒ …… bú duì ， nà suǒ wèi de yún ， gēn běn jiù shì tiān dì yuán qì níng jié ér chéng de 。
天空之中，居然飘来五sè的云朵……不对，那所谓的云，根本就是天地元气凝结而成的。
It was noon, the sky clear and blue without a cloud. The weather was pleasant. Suddenly, the sky darkened as if by magic. A strong wind blew, and something incredible happened: multicolored clouds appeared in the sky... but these were not ordinary clouds; they were formed from condensed primordial energy.
rán ér yǔ pǔ tōng de tiān dì yuán qì bù tóng ， wǔ sè yún duǒ jù liè fān yǒng ， lǐ miàn suǒ bāo hán de tiān dì yuán qì ， nóng liè dào jí chù 。
然而与普通的天地元气不同，五sè云朵剧烈翻涌，里面所包含的天地元气，浓烈到极处。
These multicolored clouds churned violently, their primordial energy so intense that any cultivator present would have been terrified.
rú guǒ yǒu bié de xiū shì zài zhè lǐ kěn dìng huì xià dé dà jīng shī sè。
如果有别的修士在这里肯定会吓得大惊失sè。
This was a sign of a minor heavenly tribulation. For an Alchemy Foundation stage cultivator like Lin Xuan, it was terrifying and almost impossible to survive, even for advanced cultivators there was a high chance they might perish.
yīn wèi yǎn qián de yún duǒ de lái lì ， nà kě shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。
因为眼前的云朵的来历，那可是非同小可。
Throughout history, few cultivators managed to ascend from the lower realms to the Spirit Realm successfully; one every several years at best. It required excellent资质and luck.
jié yún ！
劫云！
Since the laws of the universe only allowed Alchemy Foundation stage cultivators one chance to pass through this tribulation, Lin Xuan had lost that opportunity after advancing beyond the Profound Mysteries realm.
gù míng sī yì ， jiù shì xiū shì pò suì xū kōng ， xiǎng yào fēi shēng dào líng jiè de shí hòu ， huì yǒu sān jiǔ xiǎo tiān jié jiàng luò 。
顾名思义，就是修士破碎虚空，想要飞升到灵界的时候，会有三九小天劫降落。
He possessed some spatial secrets but couldn't open a passage from the mortal world to the Spirit Realm. Thankfully, he was here with his wife, who could help him withstand the minor heavenly tribulation.
suī shì xiǎo tiān jié ， dàn duì yú lí hé qī xiū shì lái shuō ， nà yě shì kě pà dào jí chù chū qī bú yòng shuō ， jī hū méi yǒu jī huì dù guò ， jiù suàn shì hòu qī de xiū xiān zhě ， tóng yàng huì yǒu hěn dà de jī lǜ yǔn luò 。
虽是小天劫，但对于离合期修士来说，那也是可怕到极处初期不用说，几乎没有机会度过，就算是后期的修仙者，同样会有很大的几率陨落。
In fact, helping someone during their tribulation was foolish; according to the laws of the universe, doing so would increase the power of the tribulation by several times. Some say it could even reach sixfold strength.
zì gǔ yǐ lái xiū xiān ， shùn lì cóng xià wèi jiè miàn fēi shēng dào líng jiè de xiū xiān zhě liáo liáo kě shǔ ， duō nián cái néng chū xiàn yí gè 。
自古以来修仙，顺利从下位界面飞升到灵界的修仙者寥寥可数，多年才能出现一个。
Thus, throughout history, no cultivator had ever done this. But Lin Xuan didn't care.
nà kě shì xū yào jí hǎo de zī zhì yǔ yùn qì de 。
那可是需要极好的资质与运气的。
As a Profound Mysteries stage cultivator, his existence shouldn't have been in the mortal world.
ér yīn wèi tiān dì fǎ zé ， lí hé qī xiū shì dù jié fēi shēng de jī lǜ zhǐ yǒu yī cì lín xuān jìn jiē dào dòng xuán yǐ hòu ， zhè yàng de jī huì yě shī qù le 。
而因为天地法则，离合期修士渡劫飞升的几率只有一次林轩进阶到洞玄以后，这样的机会也失去了。
Even if the minor heavenly tribulation's power reached six times its normal level, he wouldn't be affected.
tā zhǎng wò le yī xiē kōng jiān mì shù dàn bìng bù zú yǐ jiāng cóng rén jiè dào líng jiè de tōng dào dǎ tōng 。
他掌握了一些空间秘术但并不足以将从人界到灵界的通道打通。
With the tribulation clouds hovering above them, Lin Xuan stood confidently beside his wife. He wasn't overconfident; the scene before him was nothing to worry about. Honestly, it didn't even reach Profound Mysteries stage.
hǎo zài yǒu kǒng què zài cǐ chù ， fǒu zé zì jǐ xiǎng yào huí qù hái xū yào pǒ fèi yī fān sī liáng de 。
好在有孔雀在此处，否则自己想要回去还需要颇费一番思量的。
Back then, when he ascended from the Alchemy Foundation realm, it had been a teleportation from Penglai Mountain. Now that he was at the Profound Mysteries realm, looking back, this minor heavenly tribulation seemed insignificant.
xiàn zài dāng rán bù yòng le ， yǔ ài qī yì qǐ fēi shēng qǔ ěr 。
现在当然不用了，与爱妻一起飞升取耳。
As his thoughts raced, a loud thunderous sound echoed in his ears. The first attack was a barrage of lightning and fire. Its power seemed to change the very fabric of heaven and earth, but Lin Xuan saw it as nothing more than child's play. With a wave of his sleeve, a green light shot out, forming a shimmering barrier that protected them.
dāng rán ， kǒng què zhī suǒ yǐ gǎn xiàn zài jiù pò suì xū kōng ， yě shì yīn wèi yǒu fū jūn zài cè ， néng gòu bāng zhù zì jǐ dǐ yù xiǎo tiān jié de 。
当然，孔雀之所以敢现在就破碎虚空，也是因为有夫君在侧，能够帮助自己抵御小天劫的。
The thunder and fire descended, but only produced loud explosions without breaking through the barrier.
qí shí shuō qǐ lái ， xiū shì dù jié de shí hòu ， ràng rén bāng zhù ， shì fēi cháng yú chǔn de ， yīn wèi tiān dì fǎ zé ， yí dàn nà me zuò ， tiān jié de wēi lì huì bào zēng xǔ duō 。
其实说起来，修士渡劫的时候，让人帮助，是非常愚蠢的，因为天地法则，一旦那么做，天劫的威力会暴增许多。
Of course, this was just an initial test. Soon after, a clear sound rang in their ears as the multicolored clouds spun around. To his surprise, they transformed into green ones.
jù shuō wēi lì zuì duō néng dié jiā dào liù bèi yǐ shàng ， nà yàng de huà ， jiù suàn shì xī rì de wàng tíng lóu ， kǒng pà yí gè zhào miàn yě huī fēi yān miè le 。
据说威力最多能叠加到六倍以上，那样的话，就算是昔日的望亭楼，恐怕一个罩面也灰飞烟灭了。
"Wood attribute!" Lin Xuan sensed it clearly. A series of piercing sounds followed as countless wind blades shot out.
suǒ yǐ zì gǔ yǐ lái ， cóng bù huì yǒu xiū shì nà me zuò ， rán ér lín xuān bù zài hū 。
所以自古以来，从不会有修士那么做，然而林轩不在乎。
Despite their power surpassing the lightning and fire, Lin Xuan merely flicked his finger, infusing magical energy. The barrier flashed brighter, while the wind blades failed to cause any damage.
zuò wéi dòng xuán qī xiū xiān zhě ， tā zhè yàng de cún zài ， běn bù gāi zài rén jiè chū xiàn de 。
作为洞玄期修仙者，他这样的存在，本不该在人界出现的。
Beside him, the peacock was dumbfounded. Though she knew her husband's strength had reached a level beyond comprehension, she never expected he could treat such tribulations as if they were nothing.
jiù suàn sān jiǔ xiǎo tiān jié de wēi lì dié jiā dào liù bèi yǐ shàng yòu rú hé ， zì jǐ gēn běn bù zài hū 。
就算三九小天劫的威力叠加到六倍以上又如何，自己根本不在乎。
Originally, she was supposed to be the one facing this tribulation, but now she stood by idly with nothing to do.
yǎn kàn nà jié yún yǐ lái dào tóu dǐng shàng kōng ， lín xuān dà dà liē liē de zhàn zài kǒng què shēn cè ， zhè dào bú shì tā qīng dí ， ér shì yǎn qián de shēng shì ， zhēn méi yǒu shén me liǎo bù qǐ ， tǎn bái de shuō ， hái bú dào dòng xuán de chéng dù ， néng jiāng zì jǐ zěn me yàng ne ？
眼看那劫云已来到头顶上空，林轩大大咧咧的站在孔雀身侧，这倒不是他轻敌，而是眼前的声势，真没有什么了不起，坦白的说，还不到洞玄的程度，能将自己怎么样呢？
Such an event would surely be met with disbelief if told to others.
dāng chū zì jǐ zài lí hé de shí hòu ， shì cóng péng lái shān chuán sòng dào líng jiè de ， rú jīn jìn jiē dào dòng xuán ， huí guò tóu zài kàn ， jiù jué de xiǎo tiān jié yě bù guò rú cǐ le 。
当初自己在离合的时候，是从蓬莱山传送到灵界的，如今进阶到洞玄，回过头再看，就觉得小天劫也不过如此了。
Of course, the power of the tribulation wasn't limited to that. The winds and clouds continued to change.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， què zhǐ tīng jiàn hōng lōng yī shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， shǒu xiān jiàng luò xià lái de ， shì màn tiān de léi huǒ ， nà shēng shì ， fǎng fú lìng tiān dì dōu wèi zhī biàn sè， dàn zài lín xuān de yǎn lǐ ， zhǐ shì xiǎo ér kē ， xiù páo yī fú ， yī dào qīng xiá fēi lüè ér chū 。
脑海中念头转过，却只听见轰隆一声传入耳朵，首先降落下来的，是漫天的雷火，那声势，仿佛令天地都为之变sè，但在林轩的眼里，只是小儿科，袖袍一拂，一道青霞飞掠而出。
In fact, the three minor heavenly tribulations the peacock was facing were more powerful than usual due to her celestial bird bloodline. But with Lin Xuan here, such strength merely amounted to nothing.
lüè yī shǎn shuò ， jiù biàn huà wèi yī cuǐ càn de guāng mù ， jiāng zhè fāng yuán shù lǐ ， quán dōu hù zhù ， léi huǒ jiàng luò ， zhǐ tīng hōng lōng lóng de bào liè shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， què gēn běn wú fǎ hàn dòng guāng mù 。
略一闪烁，就变化为一璀璨的光幕，将这方圆数里，全都护住，雷火降落，只听轰隆隆的爆裂声传入耳朵，却根本无法撼动光幕。
Postscript: Fellow cultivators, Happy New Year! Rest assured, there will be a second update this month, though it might be a bit less frequent. I'll still ensure the updates are consistent. @.
A year's worth of memories was enough for Lin Xuan and his wife to cherish. After all, the future held more years together.
No matter how difficult or dangerous the path of cultivation might be, they would not abandon each other.
The road of cultivation had been full of hardships, but with her by his side, it no longer felt lonely.
