bú shì nǐ men ， nà hái yǒu hé rén ， nán dào hái yǒu xiū shì gǎn dǎn dà bāo tiān de hùn jìn wǒ yún yǐn zōng bù chéng ？”， nà gōng zhuāng měi fù liǔ méi dào shù ， yī gǔ xiōng shà zhī qì pèi rán ér chū 。
不是你们，那还有何人，难道还有修士敢胆大包天的混进我云隐宗不成？”，那宫装美fù柳眉倒竖，一股凶煞之气沛然而出。
Not you guys, who else could it be? Could there possibly be a cultivator daring enough to sneak into our Cloud Conceal Sect?" The fair lady in court attire frowned her eyebrows and exuded an aura of malevolence.
“ liǔ shī mèi ， nǐ qiě bù máng dòng nù ， yī wǒ zhī jiàn ” zhè jiàn shì qíng yǔ wàn shī zhí děng rén yīng gāi shì wú guān de 。” nà shén qì fēng de dào zhuāng lǎo zhě tàn \\1 kǒu qì ， liǎng dào méi máo tóng yàng zhòu qǐ ” rán ér què xiǎn chū jǐ fēn wú nài zhī yì 。
“柳师妹，你且不忙动怒，依我之见”这件事情与万师侄等人应该是无关的。”那神器峰的道装老者叹\\1口气，两道眉毛同样皱起”然而却显出几分无奈之意。
"Junior Sister Liu, please don't get angry just yet. In my opinion," this matter has nothing to do with Junior Brother Wan and his companions." The Daoist elder from the Artifact Peak sighed and furrowed his brows as well, showing a hint of helplessness.
“ ó ， wú shī xiōng hé chū cǐ yǔ ？”
“哦，吴师兄何出此语？”
"Oh, Senior Brother Wu, why do you say so?"
“ líng qīng wù hǎi ， nǎi shì jīn dān fēng líng mài de quán yǎn suǒ zài ， nà shì hé děng zhòng yào de chǎng suǒ ， wàn shī zhí děng rén jiù suàn shì yǒu zài dà de dǎn zi ， yòu qǐ gǎn fàng wài lái de xiū xiān zhě jìn rù ， nán dào jiù bù pà liǎng wèi tài shàng zhǎng lǎo qǐng chū mén guī ， zhì tā men yí gè lǐ tōng wài dí zhī zuì 。”
“灵清雾海，乃是金丹峰灵脉的泉眼所在，那是何等重要的场所，万师侄等人就算是有再大的胆子，又岂敢放外来的修仙者进入，难道就不怕两位太上长老请出门规，治他们一个里通外敌之罪。”
"Spirit Clear Mist Sea is the source of the Golden Core Peak's spirit veins. It’s such an important place; even if Junior Brother Wan and his companions have the audacity to enter, they wouldn’t dare risk it, right? They would surely fear inviting retribution from the two senior elders for treason."
“ shī xiōng yán zhī yǒu lǐ ， kě zhè wǔ cǎi xiáng yún ……”
“师兄言之有理，可这五彩祥云……”
"Senior Brother Wu makes a valid point. But what about those five-colored auspicious clouds?"
“ yǒu shēng yì xiàng ， zì rán shì yīn wèi yǒu dòng xuán qī xiū xiān zhě zài lǐ miàn chōng jī píng jǐng ， dàn líng qīng wù hǎi yǒu wài rén chuǎng rù ” què yě bù yí dìng shì wàn shī zhí děng rén fàng jìn qù de 。”
“友生异象，自然是因为有洞玄期修仙者在里面冲击瓶颈，但灵清雾海有外人闯入”却也不一定是万师侄等人放进去的。”
"These are unusual phenomena because there must be an Inner Profound cultivator pushing through their limits inside. However, if someone did intrude into Spirit Clear Mist Sea, it might not have been Junior Brother Wan and his companions who let them in."
“ hēng ， jiù suàn shì yǒu wài rén tōu tōu qián Ａ， wàn shī zhí tā men yě nán táo shī chá zhī zé 。”
“哼，就算是有外人偷偷潜Ａ，万师侄他们也难逃失察之责。”
"Humph! Even if outsiders snuck in, Junior Brother Wan and company would still be responsible for the oversight."
nà gōng zhuāng měi fù liǎn sè shāo hé ， dàn yī jiù bù yī bù ráo de shuō 。
那宫装美fù脸sè稍和，但依旧不依不饶的说。
The fair lady's expression softened slightly but she persisted. "Let’s discuss responsibility later. Senior Brother Wu, what do you think we should do?"
“ zhuī jiū zé rèn de shì qíng yǐ hòu zài shuō ， wú shī xiōng ， yī nǐ kàn ， wǒ men xiàn zài yīng gāi rú hé ？” wèng shēng wèng qì de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， què shì nà guāng tóu chì zú de dà hàn kāi kǒu le 。
“追究责任的事情以后再说，吴师兄，依你看，我们现在应该如何？”瓮声瓮气的声音传入耳朵，却是那光头赤足的大汉开口了。
The Daoist elder had a shrewd plan. After this gathering of heaven and earth energy dissipates, even if the cultivator self-destructs, the damage would be within acceptable limits.
zhè jiā huo ， yī tīng yě shì pí qì huǒ bào de rén wù ， yǐ jīng mó quán cā zhǎng de zhǔn bèi dòng shǒu 。
这家伙，一听也是脾气火爆的人物，已经摩拳擦掌的准备动手。
"Your words make sense. We can wait here for now,"
bāo kuò tiān jiàn fēng fù fēng zhǔ luó tiān héng yě zhuǎn guò tóu lú ， zhè dào zhuāng lǎo zhě zài yún yǐn zōng de wēi wàng ， sì hū fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。
包括天剑峰副峰主罗天恒也转过头颅，这道装老者在云隐宗的威望，似乎非同小可。
The others nodded in agreement; the Daoist elder’s suggestion was sound. A mere Inner Profound cultivator couldn’t possibly cause any trouble.
“ zhū wèi bié jí ， xiàn zài bìng bù zǒu dòng shǒu de hǎo shí jī 。
“诸位别急，现在并不走动手的好时机。
"Look, it's changing."
“ wèi hé ， rú jīn duì fāng chōng jī píng jǐng bú shì fēn shēn fá shù ， zuì hǎo duì fù ？”， nà gōng zhuāng měi fù bù jiě de shuō 。
“为何，如今对方冲击瓶颈不是分身乏术，最好对付？”，那宫装美fù不解的说。
Before Ro Tianheng could finish speaking, the other cultivators also raised their heads to see the five-colored auspicious clouds swirling and transforming into a massive vortex. The diameter of the vortex was over a hundred feet, with no bottom in sight, and nearby heaven and earth energy accelerated towards its center.
“ huà shì rú cǐ ， dàn sú huà shuō ， tù zi jí le yě huì yǎo rén ， suī rán tā xiàn zài dà bù fèn jīng lì ， dōu bèi dù jié qiān chě ， kàn shàng qù què shí zuì ruò ” dàn yě qià qià shì zhè yī kè ， jiāng fāng yuán qiān lǐ de tiān dì yuán qì dōu yǐn lái le ， duì fāng rú guǒ dǎ bù guò ” gǒu jí tiào qiáng zì bào …………”
“话是如此，但俗话说，兔子急了也会咬人，虽然他现在大部分精力，都被渡劫牵扯，看上去确实最弱”但也恰恰是这一刻，将方圆千里的天地元气都引来了，对方如果打不过”狗急跳墙自爆…………”
The range affected by this phenomenon extended far beyond a thousand miles, expanding tenfold. The heaven and earth energy condensed into various sized five-colored light balls, rushing into the vortex.
dào zhuāng lǎo zhě huà yīn wèi luò ， zài chǎng de xiū shì dōu bó rán biàn sè le 。
道装老者话音未落，在场的修士都勃然变sè了。
"Is... is that it?" The cultivators from the Cloud Conceal Sect were all taken aback; they were well-versed in such matters.
dòng xuán cún zài zì bào yǒu duō kě pà tā men jiē xīn lǐ yǒu shù ， rán ér wú shī xiōng zhǐ de hái bú shì zhè ge ， ér shì duì fāng yú sǐ wǎng pò ， jiāng zhè fù jìn de tiān dì yuán qì yì qǐ diǎn rán 。
洞玄存在自爆有多可怕他们皆心里有数，然而吴师兄指的还不是这个，而是对方鱼死网破，将这附近的天地元气一起点燃。
"If I hadn’t seen this with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed an Inner Profound cultivator could advance to Middle Profound just like that," the fair lady said, visibly shocked as she exhaled.
nà yàng de huà ， kǒng pà zhěng gè jīn dān fēng dū huì bèi zhà fēi diào le 。
那样的话，恐怕整个金丹峰都会被炸飞掉了。
"Indeed. When I advanced from late-stage to final-stage back then, the density of heaven and earth energy was far less than this." Ro Tianheng sighed.
zhè yàng de jié jú ， tā men kě chéng shòu bù qǐ 。
这样的结局，他们可承受不起。
"It seems this guy isn't an ordinary cultivator. We should be cautious when he emerges,"
“ kě xiàn zài rú hé ， nán dào jiù zài zhè lǐ yǎn zhēng zhēng de kàn zhe ？”， jǐn guǎn wú shī xiōng suǒ yán méi cuò ” dàn nà gōng zhuāng měi fù hái shì yǒu xiē bù gān xīn de 。
“可现在如何，难道就在这里眼睁睁的看着？”，尽管吴师兄所言没错”但那宫装美fù还是有些不甘心的。
The Daoist elder warned.
“ shī mèi ， nǐ huāng shén me ” duì fāng rú guǒ jìn jiē shī bài le ， bù guò yī dòng xuán chū qī de xiū xiān zhě ， jiù suàn jiǎo xìng chéng gōng ” yě bù guò dòng xuán zhōng qī zuǒ yòu ” ér qiě lián jìng jiè dōu méi yǒu wěn gù ”
“师妹，你慌什么”对方如果进阶失败了，不过一洞玄初期的修仙者，就算侥幸成功”也不过洞玄中期左右”而且连境界都没有稳固”
However, Lin Xuan’s face showed no trace of excitement. This breakthrough was purely accidental. It sounded absurd, but it was the truth. After three hundred years of relentless cultivation, his main yin essence had indeed reached the threshold for advancing to Middle Profound, but he hadn’t sought this breakthrough; he wanted his power to stabilize further.
hái bú shì rèn wǒ men zǎi gē 。” nà dào zhuāng lǎo zhě lǎo móu shēn suàn de shuō 。
还不是任我们宰割。”那道装老者老谋深算的说。
Moreover, this wasn't an ideal place for advancement because breaking through a bottleneck would attract massive celestial phenomena, and that could expose him. The Cloud Conceal Sect was not something to be trifled with; there were even senior monsters at the Spirit Concentration realm. If they demanded clarification, it wouldn’t end well.
bù guǎn duì fāng jìn jí chéng gōng yǔ fǒu ， dāng jié shù yǐ hòu ， zhè jù jí qǐ lái de tiān dì yuán qì ， dū huì chóng xīn sàn kāi ， zhè yàng de huà ， duì fāng jí shǐ zì bào ， zào chéng de sǔn hài ， yě zài kě yǐ jiē shòu de fàn wéi 。
不管对方晋级成功与否，当结束以后，这聚集起来的天地元气，都会重新散开，这样的话，对方即使自爆，造成的损害，也在可以接受的范围。
Thus, Lin Xuan’s initial plan was to strengthen his power here before seeking a new spirit land for advancement. However, this plan had already been overtaken by events.
“ shī xiōng suǒ yán bù cuò ， nà wǒ men jiù zàn qiě zài zhè lǐ děng zhe ……”，
“师兄所言不错，那我们就暂且在这里等着……”，
Today, he sat in meditation as usual. At first, everything went smoothly, but halfway through, the energy inexplicably lost control.
jǐ rén diǎn le diǎn tóu ， dào zhuāng lǎo zhě yán zhī yǒu lǐ ” zhè yàng zuò ， què shí shì zuì wěn tuǒ dì ， qū qū yī míng dòng xuán qī xiū xiān zhě ， nán dào hái néng fān chū tiān qù me ？
几人点了点头，道装老者言之有理”这样做，确实是最稳妥地，区区一名洞玄期修仙者，难道还能翻出天去么？
Maniacal possession?
“ kàn ， kāi shǐ biàn huà le 。”
“看，开始变化了。”
Lin Xuan was alarmed and quickly calmed himself, gathering the errant spirit energy within his meridians. After two hours of effort, he managed to stabilize the situation. He breathed a sigh of relief, only for the next development to leave him speechless. The Middle Profound bottleneck had begun to break on its own.
luó tiān héng huà yīn wèi luò ” qí tā xiū shì yě xiāng xù tái qǐ le tóu lú ， zhǐ jiàn tiān kōng zhōng de wǔ cǎi xiáng yún fān zhuǎn téng nuó ， hěn kuài biàn huà chéng le yí gè jù dà de xuán wō 。
罗天恒话音未落”其他修士也相续抬起了头颅，只见天空中的五彩祥云翻转腾挪，很快变化成了一个巨大的漩涡。
Fortunate misfortune!
zhí jìng zú yǒu bǎi zhàng yú ” lǐ miàn shēn bú jiàn dǐ ， fù jìn de tiān dì yuán qì ” gèng shì jiā sù bèi xī le jìn qù 。
直径足有百丈余”里面深不见底，附近的天地元气”更是加速被吸了进去。
In another time and place, Lin Xuan would have been overjoyed, but now, he was at a loss. He hadn’t intended to advance here.
zhè yī cì shòu dào bō jí de fàn wéi hé zhǐ qiān lǐ ， zú zú kuò dà le shí bèi yǒu yú ， nà xiē tiān dì yuán qì ” níng jié chéng yí gè gè dà xiǎo bù yī de wǔ sè guāng tuán ， zhēng xiān kǒng hòu de mò rù xuán wō lǐ miàn 。
这一次受到bō及的范围何止千里，足足扩大了十倍有余，那些天地元气”凝结成一个个大小不一的五sè光团，争先恐后的没入漩涡里面。
What could be done? He might as well go with the flow.
“ zhè ……”， yún yǐn zōng páng guān de xiū xiān zhě ， wú bù dào xī le yī kǒu liáng qì ， tā men dōu shì shí huò dì 。
“这……”，云隐宗旁观的修仙者，无不倒吸了一口凉气，他们都是识货地。
As for how the Cloud Conceal Sect would react to this celestial phenomenon, Lin Xuan didn't care; he was in a bind and had no choice but to act.
“ ruò bú shì qīn yǎn mù dǔ ， běn gōng hái zhēn bù xiāng xìn zhè yì xiàng jǐn jǐn shì cóng dòng xuán chū qī jìn jiē dào zhōng qī 。” nà gōng zhuāng měi fù mǎn liǎn zhèn jīng zhī sè， tǔ le yī kǒu zhuó qì de shuō 。
“若不是亲眼目睹，本宫还真不相信这异象仅仅是从洞玄初期进阶到中期。”那宫装美fù满脸震惊之sè，吐了一口浊气的说。
Bang!
“ bù cuò ， běn zuò dāng nián jìn jiē hòu qī ， ruò lùn tiān dì yuán qì de nóng mì ， nà yě shì yuǎn yuǎn bù jí 。” luó tiān héng tàn \\1 kǒu qì 。
“不错，本座当年进阶后期，若论天地元气的浓密，那也是远远不及。”罗天恒叹\\1口气。
A loud explosion sounded from within the vortex. Five columns of light, each about ten feet wide, shot out into the cloud sea.
“ kàn lái zhè jiā huo hái bú shì yì bān de xiū xiān zhě ， yī huì er dà jiā yào xiǎo xīn zài yì 。”，
“看来这家伙还不是一般的修仙者，一会儿大家要小心在意。”，
The mist dispersed, revealing the scene. More light columns followed.
dào zhuāng lǎo zhě tí xǐng le yī jù 。
道装老者提醒了一句。
Technically, these weren’t attacks; each column was composed of pure heaven and earth energy.
rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， lín xuān liǎn shàng què méi yǒu fēn háo de jīng xǐ ， zhè yī cì tū pò píng jǐng jìn jí ， gēn běn jiù shì yì wài ér yǐ 。
然而此时此刻，林轩脸上却没有分毫的惊喜，这一次突破瓶颈晋级，根本就是意外而已。
They entered Lin Xuan’s body directly to his dantian.
tīng shàng qù huāng miù le yī xiē ， dàn shì shí jiù shì rú cǐ 。
听上去荒谬了一些，但事实就是如此。
It had an effect similar to the Easy Classic Washing Essence, but that didn't mean there were no dangers. The intensity of this Easy Classic Washing Essence could easily go wrong, especially with such dense and abundant heaven and earth energy, which was a heavy burden on a cultivator's body.
jīng guò sān bǎi nián yè yǐ jì rì de kǔ xiū ， lín xuān zhǔ yuán yīng de fǎ lì ， què shí yǐ dá dào chōng jī dòng xuán zhōng qī de lín jiè diǎn le ， dàn lín xuān què bìng méi yǒu qù xún qiú tū pò ， tā xiǎng ràng fǎ lì zài duō wěn gù yī xiē 。
经过三百年夜以继日的苦修，林轩主元婴的法力，确实已达到冲击洞玄中期的临界点了，但林轩却并没有去寻求突破，他想让法力再多稳固一些。
Like overeating, too much heaven and earth energy could potentially cause the body to collapse. If Lin Xuan couldn’t handle it, his physical form might also disintegrate.
hé kuàng zhè lǐ yě bú shì hé jìn jí ， yīn wèi jiāng píng jǐng tū pò ， kěn dìng huì yǐn lái jù dà de tiān xiàng ， nà yàng yī lái ， zì jǐ qǐ bù shì bào lù。
何况这里也不适合晋级，因为将瓶颈突破，肯定会引来巨大的天象，那样一来，自己岂不是暴lù。
This process was full of opportunities but also risks.
yún yǐn zōng de shí lì bù kě qīng rǔ ， hái yǒu fēn shén jí bié de lǎo guài wù ， wàn yī tā men yào zì jǐ jiāng shì qíng shuō qīng chǔ ， kě jiù bù zěn me hǎo bàn le 。
云隐宗的实力不可轻辱，还有分神级别的老怪物，万一他们要自己将事情说清楚，可就不怎么好办了。
A barrage of light columns fell like raindrops into the sky. The cultivators from the five peaks of the Cloud Conceal Sect turned pale; they were well aware that such intensity would be unbearable for them.
suǒ yǐ ， lín xuān zuì chū de dǎ suàn ， shì zài zhè lǐ ， jiāng fǎ lì xiū liàn dào zú gòu de shēn hòu ” rán hòu zài lìng xún yī líng dì tū pò ， nǎ zhī dào dǎ suàn gù rán méi cuò ” zhè jì huà què gǎn bù shàng biàn huà le 。
所以，林轩最初的打算，是在这里，将法力修炼到足够的深厚”然后再另寻一灵地突破，哪知道打算固然没错”这计划却赶不上变化了。
"Old man, I roughly estimated just now," this heaven and earth energy density is at least seven to eight times greater than when I advanced to middle-stage." The Daoist elder’s voice carried with shock.
jīn tiān * shàng ， tā yì rú jì wǎng de dǎ zuò ， kāi shǐ de shí hòu ， yī qiè shùn lì ， rán ér xiū liàn dào zhōng tú ， fǎ lì què mò míng qí miào de bù shòu kòng zhì le 。
今天*上，他一如既往的打坐，开始的时候，一切顺利，然而修炼到中途，法力却莫名其妙的不受控制了。
"Senior Brother Wu's estimate is correct. But it’s too strange; such intensity of Easy Classic Washing Essence, ordinary cultivators wouldn’t be able to withstand it, their bodies would collapse long ago," the fair lady echoed.
zǒu huǒ rù mó ？
走火入魔？
The other two had similar expressions. Such a thing couldn't be believed unless witnessed firsthand.
lín xuān dà jīng shī sè， lián máng píng xīn jìng qì ， shōu lǒng nà zài jīng mài zhōng bào zǒu de líng lì ， jīng guò liǎng gè shí chén de nǔ lì ， zhōng yú lì wǎn kuáng lán ， lín xuān sōng \\1 kǒu qì ， rán ér jiē xià lái de fā zhǎn ， què ràng tā kū xiào bù dé ， jīng guò zhè yī fān zhē teng zhī hòu ， dòng xuán zhōng qī de píng jǐng ， jū rán zì jǐ kāi shǐ tū pò 。
林轩大惊失sè，连忙平心静气，收拢那在经脉中暴走的灵力，经过两个时辰的努力，终于力挽狂澜，林轩松\\1口气，然而接下来的发展，却让他哭笑不得，经过这一番折腾之后，洞玄中期的瓶颈，居然自己开始突破。
However, they didn’t know that for Lin Xuan, this advancement was unusually easy. It was just another Easy Classic Washing Essence; his physical strength could handle such intensity without issue.
yīn huò dé fú ！
因祸得福！
Lin Xuan’s body had been tempered through countless trials and tribulations. Even if the energy concentration increased several times, it would be nothing to him.
rú guǒ huàn yí gè shí jiān ， lín xuān yě huì gāo xìng fēi cháng de ” rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tā què kū xiào bù dé ” zì jǐ yuán běn bìng bù dǎ suàn zài zhè lǐ tū pò 。
如果换一个时间，林轩也会高兴非常的”然而此时此刻，他却哭笑不得”自己原本并不打算在这里突破。
This advancement was particularly opportune for Lin Xuan.
ěr shì yǐ zhì cǐ ， yòu néng rú hé ” zhǐ hǎo jiāng cuò jiù cuò 。
耳事已至此，又能如何”只好将错就错。
Half an hour passed quickly.
zhì yú tiān xiàng huì yǐn lái yún yǐn zōng zěn yàng de fǎn yìng ， lín xuān yǐ gù bù dé ， rú jīn tā shì jiàn zài xián shàng ” bù dé bù fā le 。
至于天象会引来云隐宗怎样的反应，林轩已顾不得，如今他是箭在弦上”不得不发了。
The vortex stopped spraying light columns, replaced by a fierce five-colored hurricane that surged into his meditation cave like a whale drinking water.
qiè ！
妾！
"It’s almost over; he must have advanced successfully. Even if we don’t know his background, this guy isn’t an ordinary cultivator. We should be cautious and not underestimate him," the Daoist elder said seriously.
bào liè shēng dà zuò ， cóng nà xuán wō zhī zhōng ， tū rán pēn chū wǔ dào zhí jìng zhàng xǔ de guāng zhù ， zhí mò rù yún hǎi zhī zhōng 。
爆裂声大做，从那漩涡之中，突然喷出五道直径丈许的光柱，直没入云海之中。
"Senior Brother Wu, you can rest assured; we will handle it carefully. But he is just a newly promoted Middle Profound cultivator at most. There’s no need to make a big fuss over nothing." The bald man shook his head and spoke.
wù qì bèi jī sàn ， jǐng wù xiǎn lù chū lái 。
雾气被击散，景物显lù出来。
As time passed, all the heaven and earth energy gathered above converged into Lin Xuan's meditation cave. The sky cleared again, returning to its usual tranquility.
jǐn gēn zhe ， gèng duō de guāng zhù là xià qù le 。
紧跟着，更多的光柱落下去了。
Nothing seemed to have happened, but the expressions of the Inner Profound cultivators from the Cloud Conceal Sect grew more serious. He must be emerging now.
yán gé de shuō ， zhè bìng bú shì gōng jī ” měi yī dào guāng zhù ” dōu shì yóu chún hòu de tiān dì yuán qì zǔ chéng dì 。
严格的说，这并不是攻击”每一道光柱”都是由淳厚的天地元气组成地。
Inside his cave.
xī men mò rù lín xuān de shēn tǐ ， zhí tōng rù dān tián qì hǎi lǐ 。
牺们没入林轩的身体，直通入丹田气海里。
Lin Xuan slowly opened his eyes.
qǐ de shì yì jīng xǐ suǐ de zuò yòng ， dàn bìng bù yì wèi zhe ” jiù méi yǒu wēi xiǎn le ， yì jīng xǐ suǐ ， tóng yàng yě yǒu kě néng chū chā cuò ， ér qiě tiān dì yuán qì rú cǐ zhī duō ， rú cǐ zhī nóng ， duì xiū shì de shēn tǐ ， yě shì yī hěn dà de fù dān lái zhe 。
起的是易经洗髓的作用，但并不意味着”就没有危险了，易经洗髓，同样也有可能出差错，而且天地元气如此之多，如此之浓，对修士的身体，也是一很大的负担来着。
He raised his hand and looked at it; it appeared slightly whiter than before.
jiù rú tóng chī dé tài bǎo ， yě tóng yàng kě néng zhàng sǐ rén de ” tài duō de tiān dì yuán qì ， xiū xiān zhě ruò shì chéng shòu bú zhù ， ròu shēn yě dà yǒu kě néng bēng kuì diào de 。
就如同吃得太饱，也同样可能胀死人的”太多的天地元气，修仙者若是承受不住，肉身也大有可能崩溃掉的。
Advancing to Middle Profound had an Easy Classic Washing Essence effect, as described in the classics. This was indeed the easiest advancement for him with no risk involved, like water flowing into a channel.
zhè ge guò chéng shì jī yù ， dàn yě bàn suí zhe wēi jī 。
这个过程是机遇，但也伴随着危机。
However, the biggest trouble lay ahead.
yī bōbō de guāng zhù ， rú yǔ diǎn bān fēn luò ， yún yǐn zōng wǔ fēng de xiū xiān zhě ， dà duō kàn dé liǎn sè fā bái le ， tā men dōu shí huò ， zhè zhǒng yì jīng xǐ lóu de qiáng dù ， ruò shì huàn zuò zì jǐ ， nà shì jué rán chéng shòu bú zhù de 。
一bōbō的光柱，如雨点般纷落，云隐宗五峰的修仙者，大多看得脸sè发白了，他们都识货，这种易经洗髅的强度，若是换做自己，那是决然承受不住的。
Even though Lin Xuan was pushing through his bottleneck, he knew that this massive celestial phenomenon had already alarmed the Cloud Conceal Sect’s cultivators. With several Inner Profound cultivators guarding outside, Lin Xuan wasn’t concerned; with his strength, he could easily break free from their encirclement. But don't forget, the Cloud Conceal Sect also had two Spirit Concentration cultivators. Against such a formidable old monster, Lin Xuan was unsure of himself.
“ lǎo fū gāng cái dà lüè gū jì le yī xià ” zhè tiān dì yuán qì de nóng dù ， qǐ mǎ chāo chū lǎo fū dāng nián jìn jiē zhōng qī shí de qī bā bèi le 。” dào zhuāng lǎo zhě de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， lǐ miàn dài zhe hài rán zhī sè。
“老夫刚才大略估计了一下”这天地元气的浓度，起码超出老夫当年进阶中期时的七八倍了。”道装老者的声音传入耳朵，里面带着骇然之sè。
Moreover, after hundreds of years of cultivation in the Cloud Conceal Sect, it felt like leaving paradise. The choice between fighting or negotiating was difficult; it wasn’t up to him anyway.
Not you guys, who else could it be? Could there possibly be a cultivator daring enough to sneak into our Cloud Conceal Sect?" The fair lady in court attire frowned her eyebrows and exuded an aura of malevolence.
"Junior Sister Liu, please don't get angry just yet. In my opinion," this matter has nothing to do with Junior Brother Wan and his companions." The Daoist elder from the Artifact Peak sighed and furrowed his brows as well, showing a hint of helplessness.
"Oh, Senior Brother Wu, why do you say so?"
"Spirit Clear Mist Sea is the source of the Golden Core Peak's spirit veins. It’s such an important place; even if Junior Brother Wan and his companions have the audacity to enter, they wouldn’t dare risk it, right? They would surely fear inviting retribution from the two senior elders for treason."
"Senior Brother Wu makes a valid point. But what about those five-colored auspicious clouds?"
"These are unusual phenomena because there must be an Inner Profound cultivator pushing through their limits inside. However, if someone did intrude into Spirit Clear Mist Sea, it might not have been Junior Brother Wan and his companions who let them in."
"Humph! Even if outsiders snuck in, Junior Brother Wan and company would still be responsible for the oversight."
The fair lady's expression softened slightly but she persisted. "Let’s discuss responsibility later. Senior Brother Wu, what do you think we should do?"
The Daoist elder had a shrewd plan. After this gathering of heaven and earth energy dissipates, even if the cultivator self-destructs, the damage would be within acceptable limits.
"Your words make sense. We can wait here for now,"
The others nodded in agreement; the Daoist elder’s suggestion was sound. A mere Inner Profound cultivator couldn’t possibly cause any trouble.
"Look, it's changing."
Before Ro Tianheng could finish speaking, the other cultivators also raised their heads to see the five-colored auspicious clouds swirling and transforming into a massive vortex. The diameter of the vortex was over a hundred feet, with no bottom in sight, and nearby heaven and earth energy accelerated towards its center.
The range affected by this phenomenon extended far beyond a thousand miles, expanding tenfold. The heaven and earth energy condensed into various sized five-colored light balls, rushing into the vortex.
"Is... is that it?" The cultivators from the Cloud Conceal Sect were all taken aback; they were well-versed in such matters.
"If I hadn’t seen this with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed an Inner Profound cultivator could advance to Middle Profound just like that," the fair lady said, visibly shocked as she exhaled.
"Indeed. When I advanced from late-stage to final-stage back then, the density of heaven and earth energy was far less than this." Ro Tianheng sighed.
"It seems this guy isn't an ordinary cultivator. We should be cautious when he emerges,"
The Daoist elder warned.
However, Lin Xuan’s face showed no trace of excitement. This breakthrough was purely accidental. It sounded absurd, but it was the truth. After three hundred years of relentless cultivation, his main yin essence had indeed reached the threshold for advancing to Middle Profound, but he hadn’t sought this breakthrough; he wanted his power to stabilize further.
Moreover, this wasn't an ideal place for advancement because breaking through a bottleneck would attract massive celestial phenomena, and that could expose him. The Cloud Conceal Sect was not something to be trifled with; there were even senior monsters at the Spirit Concentration realm. If they demanded clarification, it wouldn’t end well.
Thus, Lin Xuan’s initial plan was to strengthen his power here before seeking a new spirit land for advancement. However, this plan had already been overtaken by events.
Today, he sat in meditation as usual. At first, everything went smoothly, but halfway through, the energy inexplicably lost control.
Maniacal possession?
Lin Xuan was alarmed and quickly calmed himself, gathering the errant spirit energy within his meridians. After two hours of effort, he managed to stabilize the situation. He breathed a sigh of relief, only for the next development to leave him speechless. The Middle Profound bottleneck had begun to break on its own.
Fortunate misfortune!
In another time and place, Lin Xuan would have been overjoyed, but now, he was at a loss. He hadn’t intended to advance here.
What could be done? He might as well go with the flow.
As for how the Cloud Conceal Sect would react to this celestial phenomenon, Lin Xuan didn't care; he was in a bind and had no choice but to act.
Bang!
A loud explosion sounded from within the vortex. Five columns of light, each about ten feet wide, shot out into the cloud sea.
The mist dispersed, revealing the scene. More light columns followed.
Technically, these weren’t attacks; each column was composed of pure heaven and earth energy.
They entered Lin Xuan’s body directly to his dantian.
It had an effect similar to the Easy Classic Washing Essence, but that didn't mean there were no dangers. The intensity of this Easy Classic Washing Essence could easily go wrong, especially with such dense and abundant heaven and earth energy, which was a heavy burden on a cultivator's body.
Like overeating, too much heaven and earth energy could potentially cause the body to collapse. If Lin Xuan couldn’t handle it, his physical form might also disintegrate.
This process was full of opportunities but also risks.
A barrage of light columns fell like raindrops into the sky. The cultivators from the five peaks of the Cloud Conceal Sect turned pale; they were well aware that such intensity would be unbearable for them.
"Old man, I roughly estimated just now," this heaven and earth energy density is at least seven to eight times greater than when I advanced to middle-stage." The Daoist elder’s voice carried with shock.
"Senior Brother Wu's estimate is correct. But it’s too strange; such intensity of Easy Classic Washing Essence, ordinary cultivators wouldn’t be able to withstand it, their bodies would collapse long ago," the fair lady echoed.
The other two had similar expressions. Such a thing couldn't be believed unless witnessed firsthand.
However, they didn’t know that for Lin Xuan, this advancement was unusually easy. It was just another Easy Classic Washing Essence; his physical strength could handle such intensity without issue.
Lin Xuan’s body had been tempered through countless trials and tribulations. Even if the energy concentration increased several times, it would be nothing to him.
This advancement was particularly opportune for Lin Xuan.
Half an hour passed quickly.
The vortex stopped spraying light columns, replaced by a fierce five-colored hurricane that surged into his meditation cave like a whale drinking water.
"It’s almost over; he must have advanced successfully. Even if we don’t know his background, this guy isn’t an ordinary cultivator. We should be cautious and not underestimate him," the Daoist elder said seriously.
"Senior Brother Wu, you can rest assured; we will handle it carefully. But he is just a newly promoted Middle Profound cultivator at most. There’s no need to make a big fuss over nothing." The bald man shook his head and spoke.
As time passed, all the heaven and earth energy gathered above converged into Lin Xuan's meditation cave. The sky cleared again, returning to its usual tranquility.
Nothing seemed to have happened, but the expressions of the Inner Profound cultivators from the Cloud Conceal Sect grew more serious. He must be emerging now.
Inside his cave.
Lin Xuan slowly opened his eyes.
He raised his hand and looked at it; it appeared slightly whiter than before.
Advancing to Middle Profound had an Easy Classic Washing Essence effect, as described in the classics. This was indeed the easiest advancement for him with no risk involved, like water flowing into a channel.
However, the biggest trouble lay ahead.
Even though Lin Xuan was pushing through his bottleneck, he knew that this massive celestial phenomenon had already alarmed the Cloud Conceal Sect’s cultivators. With several Inner Profound cultivators guarding outside, Lin Xuan wasn’t concerned; with his strength, he could easily break free from their encirclement. But don't forget, the Cloud Conceal Sect also had two Spirit Concentration cultivators. Against such a formidable old monster, Lin Xuan was unsure of himself.
Moreover, after hundreds of years of cultivation in the Cloud Conceal Sect, it felt like leaving paradise. The choice between fighting or negotiating was difficult; it wasn’t up to him anyway.
