“而难就难在，并不是什么人，都能融合真灵之火，首先，必须具有对应真灵的血统，而且是越纯净越好，即便如此，也不一定能够保证融合”但从几率来说，却要大一些的。
"It's difficult because not everyone can integrate True Spirit Fire. First, one must have the corresponding bloodline of the True Spirit, and it should be as pure as possible. Even so, there is no guarantee that integration will succeed." However, from a probability standpoint, the chances are greater.
“ ér yí dàn róng hé ， yǒu le shàng yí dài de jīng yàn ， zài jiā shàng nà lì zhǒng zi yǐ jīng fā yá ” zhǐ yào qín jiā xiū liàn ， zǒng yǒu yī tiān ， huì chéng wéi zhēn líng de 。”
“而一旦融合，有了上一代的经验，再加上那粒种子已经发芽”只要勤加修炼，总有一天，会成为真灵的。”
"Once integrated, with the experience from the previous generation and the seed already sprouted, as long as you diligently practice, one day you'll become a True Spirit."
“ zhè me shuō lái ， měi yí dài zhēn líng de shí lì ， nà yě shì bù tóng le ？” yuàn yuàn tīng le ” liǎn shàng lù chū jǐ fēn chà yì zhī sè。
“这么说来，每一代真灵的实力，那也是不同了？”媛媛听了”脸上lù出几分诧异之sè。
"So, does each generation of True Spirits have different strengths?" YuanYuan's face showed some surprise upon hearing this.
“ bù cuò ， nà xiē rén zú bú shì yǒu yī jù huà ， jiào zuò shī fù lǐng jìn mén ， xiū xíng kào gè rén ， zhǒng zi suī rán yǐ jīng fā yá ， dàn bù tóng dài de gè tǐ zhī jiān ， tiān fù ， jī yuán ， nǔ lì ， kěn dìng dū yǒu chā yì ” zuì zhōng jí biàn dōu chéng wéi le zhēn líng ， nà chéng jiù yě shì yǒu gāo yǒu dī 。”
“不错，那些人族不是有一句话，叫做师傅领进门，修行靠各人，种子虽然已经发芽，但不同代的个体之间，天赋，机缘，努力，肯定都有差异”最终即便都成为了真灵，那成就也是有高有低。”
"That's correct. Humans say that 'a teacher leads you into the door, but cultivation depends on yourself.' Although the seed has sprouted, there are still differences in innate talent, opportunities, and effort among individuals from different generations. Even if they all become True Spirits, their achievements will vary."
“ nà nǐ dài wǒ lái zhè lǐ zuò shén me ， nǐ gāng gāng yě jiǎng guò ， róng hé zhēn líng zhī huǒ xū yào chún zhèng de kǒng què xuè tǒng ， ér wǒ ， suī rán yě kě yǐ suàn shì kǒng què dà míng wáng de hòu yì ， dàn xuè tǒng què shì bìng bù chún zhèng dì 。” kǒng què de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ lǐ ， tīng duì fāng jiǎng le zhè me duō ， rú guǒ hái bù xiǎo de tā de mù dì ， nà yuàn yuàn jiù shì zhì shāng yǒu wèn tí 。
“那你带我来这里做什么，你刚刚也讲过，融合真灵之火需要纯正的孔雀血统，而我，虽然也可以算是孔雀大明王的后裔，但血统却是并不纯正地。”孔雀的声音传入耳朵里，听对方讲了这么多，如果还不晓得她的目的，那媛媛就是智商有问题。
"Why bring me here then? You just said that integrating True Spirit Fire requires a pure Peacock bloodline, but I'm not entirely pure," the voice of the Peacock entered her ears. Having heard so much, YuanYuan would be considered unintelligent if she still didn't understand the purpose.
zhè dāng rán shì bù kě néng dì 。
这当然是不可能地。
Of course, this was impossible.
“ bù cuò ， chú le kǒng què dà míng wáng de xuè tǒng ， mí shēn shàng hái yǒu wǒ fèng huáng yī zú de xuè mài ， jīn chì dà péng de líng xuè ， sì hū yě yǒu nà me yī xiē ， ér qiě hái pǒ wèi nóng yù 。”
“不错，除了孔雀大明王的血统，弥身上还有我凤凰一族的血脉，金翅大鹏的灵血，似乎也有那么一些，而且还颇为浓郁。”
"Indeed, besides the Peacock Great Brightness's bloodline, my phoenix lineage and Golden-Winged Great Peng's spirit blood are also present, though in lesser amounts."

凤凰目光在媛媛的身上扫过，对于她〖体〗内的灵血情况说得清清楚楚，真灵凤凰的眼睛，本来就能够看破一切幻术。
The Phoenix's gaze swept over YuanYuan, clearly explaining her situation. True Spirit phoenixes can see through all illusions with their eyes.
rèn hé yǐn cáng ， zài tā de miàn qián ， nà dōu shì wú suǒ dùn xíng de 。
任何隐藏，在他的面前，那都是无所遁形的。
Anything hidden would be revealed to him.
“ jì rán nǐ qīng chǔ ， hái dài wǒ lái zhè lǐ gàn shén me ？”，“ hē hē ， wǒ gāng gāng shì shuō guò ， róng hé zhēn líng zhī huǒ ” wú shén me guī lǜ kě xún ” dàn xuè tǒng yuè nóng hòu chún jìng ， chéng gōng de xī wàng yě yuè dà yī xiē ” bù guò kǒng què dà míng wáng què wèi bì rú cǐ 。”
“既然你清楚，还带我来这里干什么？”，“呵呵，我刚刚是说过，融合真灵之火”无什么规律可循”但血统越浓厚纯净，成功的希望也越大一些”不过孔雀大明王却未必如此。”
"Why bring me here if you know this?" "Haha, I did say that integrating True Spirit Fire has no set rules, but the more pure and concentrated the bloodline is, the greater the chances of success. However, it's not necessarily true for Peacock Great Brightness."
“ ó ， zěn me shuō ？” yuàn yuàn de liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī qí guài zhī sè。
“哦，怎么说？”媛媛的脸上lù出一丝奇怪之sè。
"Oh, how so?" A strange expression appeared on YuanYuan's face.
“ kǒng què dà míng wáng nǎi shì zuì gǔ lǎo de líng qín ， rán ér dāng chū dài zài sān jiè dà zhàn zhōng yǔn luò yǐ hòu ， jiù zài yě méi yǒu xīn de dà míng wáng chǎn shēng le 。”
“孔雀大明王乃是最古老的灵禽，然而当初代在三界大战中陨落以后，就再也没有新的大明王产生了。”
"Peacock Great Brightness was one of the oldest spirit birds. After falling in the Three Realms War, no new Great Brightnesses have been born since then."
“ sān jiè dà zhàn zhōng yǔn luò ？”
“三界大战中陨落？”
"Fell in the Three Realms War?"
“ dāng chū de ā xiū luó wáng xuè xǐ líng jiè ， zuì hòu lián zhēn xiān dōu bèi qiān chě ” bù guò zhè xiē shì qíng bú shì zhòng diǎn ， nǐ ruò néng jiāng zhēn líng zhī huǒ róng hé ， chuán chéng de jīng yàn zhōng zì rán huì yǒu de 。”
“当初的阿修罗王血洗灵界，最后连真仙都被牵扯”不过这些事情不是重点，你若能将真灵之火融合，传承的经验中自然会有的。”
"The Asura King massacred the Spirit Realm back then and even involved True Immortals." However, these details are not important. If you can integrate the True Spirit Fire, this knowledge will be included in your experience."
“ zài zhè jǐ bǎi wàn nián de suì yuè lǐ ” yě bù zhī dào yǒu duō shǎo kǒng què hòu yì xiǎng yào róng hé ” qí zhōng yǒu bù shǎo zī zhì yǔ chuán chéng de xuè mài dōu bù cuò ， rán ér xī men què wú yī lì wài de shī bài diào le ， zhè me duō nián yǐ lái ， ruò bú shì lì dài fèng huáng kān shǒu cǐ chù ， kǒng pà zhè kǒng què zhī jìng ， zǎo bèi bié de zhēn líng zhàn jù diào le 。”
“在这几百万年的岁月里”也不知道有多少孔雀后裔想要融合”其中有不少资质与传承的血脉都不错，然而牺们却无一例外的失败掉了，这么多年以来，若不是历代凤凰看守此处，恐怕这孔雀之境，早被别的真灵占据掉了。”
"Over millions of years," countless Peacock descendants have tried to integrate. Many had good innate talents and lineage, but they all failed. For so many years, if it weren't for successive phoenixes guarding here, this Peacock realm would likely have been taken over by other True Spirits."
“ yuán lái rú cǐ ， kě yǔ nà xiē shī bài zhě xiāng bǐ ， wǒ de xuè mài huò xǔ hái yào gèng bù chún jìng yī xiē ” wèi hé ……”，”，“ mò fēi nǐ yǐ wéi běn gōng zhè me zuò ， shì zài bìng jí luàn tóu yī ” wǒ rú cǐ xuǎn zé ” dāng rán shì yǒu lǐ yóu de 。”
“原来如此，可与那些失败者相比，我的血脉或许还要更不纯净一些”为何……”，”，“莫非你以为本宫这么做，是在病急乱投医”我如此选择”当然是有理由的。”
"Ah, I see. Compared to those failures, my bloodline might be even less pure," YuanYuan wondered.
fèng huáng zhū luò yù pán de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ：“ yīn wèi shī bài zhě tài duō ” suǒ yǐ běn gōng yě fǎn sī guò ， àn lǐ ， qí zhōng yǒu jǐ gè xuè mài de chún jìng nóng hòu ， yīng gāi zú gòu le ， nán dào shuō ”，“ nán dào shén me ？”
凤凰珠落玉盘的声音传入耳朵：“因为失败者太多”所以本宫也反思过，按理，其中有几个血脉的纯净浓厚，应该足够了，难道说”，“难道什么？”
"Why...?"
“ huò xǔ kǒng què dà míng wáng yǔ qí tā de zhēn líng bù tóng ， mí yě xiǎo de ， wǒ men fèng huáng zhēn líng yǔ jīn chì dà péng niǎo dōu shì yóu dà míng wáng yùn yù chū lái de ” sān zhě yuān yuán fěi qiǎn ， zhè gèng zhèng míng liǎo yì diǎn ， chū dài dà míng wáng de 〖 tǐ 〗 nèi ” hái yǒu fèng huáng yǔ dà péng niǎo de líng xuè 。”
“或许孔雀大明王与其他的真灵不同，弥也晓得，我们凤凰真灵与金翅大鹏鸟都是由大明王孕育出来的”三者渊源匪浅，这更证明了一点，初代大明王的〖体〗内”还有凤凰与大鹏鸟的灵血。”
"Do you think I'm just desperate and trying random methods? My choice has reasons."
“ suǒ yǐ nǐ jiù zhǎo shàng le wǒ ？”
“所以你就找上了我？”
The sound of the Phoenix's voice like a jade drop on a plate entered her ears: "Because there are too many failures. I've also reflected on this. Logically, several bloodlines should be sufficient. But,"
“ bù cuò ， yōng yǒu sān zhǒng líng xuè de rén wù ” kě shì bǐ xuè mài chún zhèng gèng jiā nán yǐ sōu suǒ ， liǎng zhǒng hái hǎo shuō ， sān zhǒng jī hū shì bù kě néng de ” běn gōng zhè xiē nián xún biàn líng jiè ， yě méi yǒu fā xiàn hé shì de ， nǎ zhī dào jī yuán qiǎo hé ， què jiāng nǐ děng lái le 。” fèng huáng yǒu diǎn qìng xìng de shuō 。
“不错，拥有三种灵血的人物”可是比血脉纯正更加难以搜索，两种还好说，三种几乎是不可能的”本宫这些年寻遍灵界，也没有发现合适的，哪知道机缘巧合，却将你等来了。”凤凰有点庆幸的说。
"But what?"
“ yuán lái rú cǐ 。”
“原来如此。”
"Perhaps Peacock Great Brightness is different from other True Spirits. I know we phoenixes and Golden-Winged Great Pengs were all nurtured by the first Great Brightness. This further proves that there was both Phoenix and Great Peng spirit blood in his body."
yuàn yuàn zhōng yú liǎo jiě liǎo shì qíng de shǐ mò ：“ nǐ shì xiǎng ràng wǒ yǔ zhēn líng zhī huǒ róng hé ” kě wǒ ruò shì bù yuàn yì ne ？”
媛媛终于了解了事情的始末：“你是想让我与真灵之火融合”可我若是不愿意呢？”
"So you chose me?"
“ bù yuàn yì ， nǐ wèi shén me bù yuàn yì ？”
“不愿意，你为什么不愿意？”
"That's right. A person with three types of spirit blood is harder to find than pure ones. Over these years, I searched through the Spirit Realm but found no suitable candidates. It was a stroke of luck that brought you here."

凤凰的声音带着几分惊奇：“那真灵之火的好处，我已经说过”只要融合成功了”加以时日，弥就会成为新的孔雀大明王了，而真灵有多强，你不会不晓得，若按正常的方法修炼”从离合，到洞玄，转分神，最后再进入渡劫期，这其中，要经历多少艰难险阻，你应该心里有数，认为自己有机会么“…………”
"Ah, I see."

孔雀陷入了沉默，她虽然自持天赋不错”然而芸芸众生中，天才数不胜数”孔雀可不敢就此小视了天平英雄。
YuanYuan finally understood: "You want me to integrate with True Spirit Fire. But what if I don't want to?"
rán ér jìn rù dù jié qī de cái jǐ gè ？
然而进入渡劫期的才几个？
"Why not? What's your reason for refusing?"
hé kuàng jí shǐ jìn rù dù jié qī zi ， shì fǒu jiù néng yǔ kǒng què dà míng wáng xiàng kàng héng le ？
何况即使进入渡劫期子，是否就能与孔雀大明王相抗衡了？
The Phoenix's voice held surprise: "I've already told you the benefits of integrating with True Spirit Fire. If successful, you'll become a new Peacock Great Brightness in time. You know how powerful True Spirits are. Following normal methods, from Separation and Union to Profound Void, through entering the State of Divided Consciousness, and finally into the Tribulation Period—how many hardships will you face? Do you think you have a chance?"
〖 dá 〗 àn dāng rán shì fǒu dìng de 。
〖答〗案当然是否定的。
Peacock fell silent. Although she believed in her own talents, there were countless geniuses among ordinary people. Peacock didn't dare to underestimate Tian Ping Hero.
bié shuō dù jié ， jiù suàn shì líng jiè sān dà sàn xiān ， zhēn mó shǐ zǔ ， huò zhě yīn sī liù wáng （ dāng rán ， ā xiū luó wáng shì bù suàn de ） duì shàng kǒng què dà míng wáng ， yě shì shū miàn jū duō 。
别说渡劫，就算是灵界三大散仙，真魔始祖，或者yīn司六王（当然，阿修罗王是不算的）对上孔雀大明王，也是输面居多。
But how many had entered the Tribulation Period?
yào xiǎo de ， jí shǐ zài zhēn líng zhī zhōng ” kǒng què dà míng wáng nà yě shì pái míng qián liè de cún zài le 。
要晓得，即使在真灵之中”孔雀大明王那也是排名前列的存在了。
And even if they did enter it, could they match up against Peacock Great Brightness?
“ suī rán chéng wéi zhēn líng zhī hòu ， jiù sàng shī chéng xiān de jī huì le ， dàn qiáng dà de zhēn líng ， wèi bì yě jiù bǐ zhēn xiān ruò shàng xǔ duō ， ér qiě shòu yuán yě tū pò le xiàn zhì ， bú huì zài yǒu tiān jié jiàng luò ” kě yǐ cháng shēng bù lǎo le 。” fèng huáng de shēng yīn zhōng chōng mǎn le yòuhuò” suī rán tā shì tiě dìng bú huì fàng kǒng què lí kāi ， dàn duì fāng xīn gān qíng yuàn ， zhǔ dòng róng hé ， chéng gōng de jī lǜ huì dà shàng xǔ duō 。
“虽然成为真灵之后，就丧失成仙的机会了，但强大的真灵，未必也就比真仙弱上许多，而且寿元也突破了限制，不会再有天劫降落”可以长生不老了。”凤凰的声音中充满了yòuhuò”虽然她是铁定不会放孔雀离开，但对方心甘情愿，主动融合，成功的几率会大上许多。
Of course not.
“ shì me ？”
“是么？”
Not just the Tribulation, but even facing the Three Loose Immortals, True Demon Ancestor, or Yin Palace Six Kings (though Asura King was excluded), would likely result in defeat for Peacock Great Brightness.

孔雀也不由动容，这样的yòuhuò，换成任何一个人，要说不动心”那都是不可能的，仙路曲折，如今却有一条庄康大道摆在你的面前，走不走，是人都知道应该怎么选择？
Even among True Spirits, she ranked high.
rán ér yuàn yuàn què méi yǒu lì kè dā yìng shén me 。
然而媛媛却没有立刻答应什么。
"Although becoming a True Spirit means losing the chance to become an immortal, powerful True Spirits aren't much weaker than True Immortals. Moreover, their lifespans are no longer limited by heavenly tribulations; they can live forever."
tiān shàng bú huì diào xiàn bǐng de 。
天上不会掉馅饼的。
The Phoenix's voice was filled with allure. Although she wouldn't let Peacock leave, if the other party willingly integrated and succeeded, the chances would be much higher.
zhè yì diǎn ， yuàn yuàn xīn lǐ yǒu shù ， tā huǎn huǎn de kāi kǒu le ：“ ruò shì yǔ zhēn líng zhī huǒ róng hé shī bài le ， xià chǎng shì shén me ？”
这一点，媛媛心里有数，她缓缓的开口了：“若是与真灵之火融合失败了，下场是什么？”
"Is that so?"
fèng huáng tīng le ， liǎn shàng lù chū mǎn yì zhī sè：“ bù cuò bù cuò ， nǐ dǎo shì méi yǒu bèi zhè tū rú qí lái de hǎo shì chōng hūn tóu nǎo ， běn gōng yě bù mán nǐ ， rú guǒ shī bài ， jiāng huì bào tǐ ér wáng 。”
凤凰听了，脸上lù出满意之sè：“不错不错，你倒是没有被这突如其来的好事冲昏头脑，本宫也不瞒你，如果失败，将会爆体而亡。”
Peacock was also moved by this prospect. Any normal person would find it hard to resist such an offer. The path of immortality is winding, but now there's a clear and broad road before you—wouldn't anyone choose to walk it?
“ ó ？”
“哦？”
But YuanYuan didn't immediately agree.
yuàn yuàn yǎn zhōng jīng máng shǎn guò ， bù guò dào yě bìng méi yǒu lù chū shén me wèi jù zhī sè， fǎng fú zǎo jiù yù liào dào le 。
媛媛眼中精芒闪过，不过倒也并没有lù出什么畏惧之sè，仿佛早就预料到了。
There are no free lunches in heaven.
“ nǐ bù hài pà me ？”
“你不害怕么？”
She knew this well and slowly spoke: "What happens if the integration fails?"
tā zhè fú biǎo qíng ， dào ràng fèng huáng gǎn dào yì wài le 。
她这幅表情，倒让凤凰感到意外了。
The Phoenix smiled satisfactorily. "Good question. You haven't been blinded by sudden good fortune. If you fail, you'll explode and die."
“ tiān shàng bú huì yǒu miǎn fèi de wǔ cān ” chéng wéi zhēn líng hòu yǒu rú cǐ dà de hǎo chù ， ér zuì nán de yī bù ， jiù shì yǔ zhēn líng zhī huǒ róng hé ， suǒ yǐ shī bài hòu ，hún fēi pò sàn de xià chǎng yì diǎn yě bù wèi guò 。” yuàn yuàn lěng jìng de shuō 。
“天上不会有免费的午餐”成为真灵后有如此大的好处，而最难的一步，就是与真灵之火融合，所以失败后，hún飞魄散的下场一点也不为过。”媛媛冷静的说。
"Oh?"
“ nǐ dǎo shì kàn dé tòu ， yǒu duō dà de fēng xiǎn ， cái huì yǒu duō dà de shōu huò ， zhè yì diǎn ， nǐ jì rán xīn zhōng yǒu shù ” nà běn gōng yě jiù bù yòng duō fèi chún shé ， zěn me yàng ， nǐ xiàn zài de xuǎn zé ， shì fǒu kě yǐ gào sù wǒ ……”，”，“ nǐ wèn wǒ de xuǎn zé ——”@。
“你倒是看得透，有多大的风险，才会有多大的收获，这一点，你既然心中有数”那本宫也就不用多费chún舌，怎么样，你现在的选择，是否可以告诉我……”，”，“你问我的选择——”@。
A glint of sharpness appeared in YuanYuan's eyes, but she didn't show any fear.
This expression surprised the Phoenix.
"There are no free lunches in heaven. Becoming a True Spirit brings great benefits, but integrating with True Spirit Fire is the hardest step. So, dying and scattering your soul isn't too much to expect," YuanYuan said calmly.
"You see through the risks; the greater the risk, the greater the reward. Since you know this, I don't need to waste words. What's your choice now?"
"It's difficult because not everyone can integrate True Spirit Fire. First, one must have the corresponding bloodline of the True Spirit, and it should be as pure as possible. Even so, there is no guarantee that integration will succeed." However, from a probability standpoint, the chances are greater.
"Once integrated, with the experience from the previous generation and the seed already sprouted, as long as you diligently practice, one day you'll become a True Spirit."
"So, does each generation of True Spirits have different strengths?" YuanYuan's face showed some surprise upon hearing this.
"That's correct. Humans say that 'a teacher leads you into the door, but cultivation depends on yourself.' Although the seed has sprouted, there are still differences in innate talent, opportunities, and effort among individuals from different generations. Even if they all become True Spirits, their achievements will vary."
"Why bring me here then? You just said that integrating True Spirit Fire requires a pure Peacock bloodline, but I'm not entirely pure," the voice of the Peacock entered her ears. Having heard so much, YuanYuan would be considered unintelligent if she still didn't understand the purpose.
