dāng duàn bù duàn ， fǎn shòu qí luàn 。
当断不断，反受其乱。
When to cut, one must not hesitate; hesitation only invites trouble.
zhè dào lǐ ， lín xuān xīn zhōng hěn qīng chǔ 。
这道理，林轩心中很清楚。
This principle was crystal clear in Lin Xuan's mind. Since he had already gained unexpected benefits, it would be unwise to overreach. Thus, Lin Xuan no longer hesitated and transformed into a streak of shocking light, flying off towards the distant horizon.
jì rán dōu yǒu le yì wài shōu huò ， rén bù kě tān duō ， yú shì lín xuān bù zài chí yí ， hún shēn hēi máng yì qǐ ， huà wèi yī dào jīng hóng xiàng yuǎn chù fēi lüè ér qù 。
既然都有了意外收获，人不可贪多，于是林轩不再迟疑，浑身黑芒一起，化为一道惊虹像远处飞掠而去。
A thousand miles could be covered in an instant.
shùn xī qiān lǐ 。
瞬息千里。
The direction Lin Xuan was heading did not align with the Cloud Concealing Sect at all. Although he had not encountered any cultivators nearby, his cautious nature made him decide against returning to the sect immediately. Instead, he planned to travel around for a few months before making his way back. This way, even if he inadvertently left some clues or if other cultivators possessed some mysterious tracking techniques, they would be unable to find him.
lín xuān fēi de fāng xiàng ， yǔ yún yǐn zōng méi yǒu fēn háo guān xì 。
林轩飞的方向，与云隐宗没有分毫关系。
Unbeknownst to Lin Xuan, less than two hours after he left, the chaotic state of this spatial region had not fully recovered yet.
suī rán tā bìng méi yǒu zài fù jìn ， fā xiàn shén me xiū xiān zhě ， dàn běn zhe xiǎo xīn jǐn shèn de xìng gé ， lín xuān zì rán bù dǎ suàn mǎ shàng huí dào zōng mén lǐ de 。
虽然他并没有在附近，发现什么修仙者，但本着小心谨慎的xìng格，林轩自然不打算马上回到宗门里的。
Whooosh…
ér zhǔn bèi xiān qù qí tā dì fāng rào shàng yī dà quān ， zài wài yóu dàng gè shù yuè de gōng fu ， suí hòu zài huí qù yě jué rán bù chí 。
而准备先去其他地方绕上一大圈，在外游荡个数月的功夫，随后再回去也决然不迟。
Suddenly, an extremely strange and piercing sound pierced his ears. Soon after, a brilliant light appeared on the far horizon. Initially distant, it approached with astonishing speed until it was right before him. The piercing sound abruptly ceased as the light faded, revealing a splendid chariot.
zhè yàng ， jiù suàn zì jǐ bù xiǎo xīn liú yǒu shén me xiàn suǒ ， huò zhě ， hòu miàn lái dào cǐ chù de xiū xiān zhě ， yǒu shén me bù kě sī yì de zhuī zōng mì shù ， yě xiū xiǎng zhǎo dào zì jǐ de 。
这样，就算自己不小心留有什么线索，或者，后面来到此处的修仙者，有什么不可思议的追踪秘术，也休想找到自己的。
The carriage was crafted from some precious spirit wood, its body golden and emitting an enchanting aroma that exuded regality. Numerous exquisite talismanic inscriptions adorned the exterior, giving off a mysterious aura reminiscent of ancient阵图, imbued with profound protective effects.
dāng rán ， chū xiàn zhè zhǒng zhuàng kuàng de kě néng xìng shì wēi hū dì liǎng qiān qī bǎi sì shí liù zhāng tiān yuán hóu yǔ hēi fèng xiān zi qí wēi ， bù guò xiǎo xīn wú dà cuò 。
当然，出现这种状况的可能xìng是微乎第两千七百四十六章 天元侯与黑凤仙子其微，不过小心无大错。
The pulling beast was neither dragon nor tiger; it had wings on its back, six eyes, and four legs, radiating an aura not to be underestimated. Its strength did not fall short of that of a Great Power cultivator at the Spirit Cultivation stage.
bì jìng zì jǐ cǐ xíng kě shì yǒu jí dà shōu huò ， huái chuāi lián dù jié qī lǎo guài wù yě huì píng rán xīn dòng de bǎo wù ， yú qíng yú lǐ ， zì rán yào duō shàng nà me yī fèn jǐn shèn de 。
毕竟自己此行可是有极大收获，怀揣连渡劫期老怪物也会枰然心动的宝物，于情于理，自然要多上那么一份谨慎的。
Given such a display, the identity of the chariot's owner could only be a渡劫期 elder monster. Ordinary Spirit Cultivators at the Spirit Cultivation stage would never have such grandeur or capability.
ér lín xuān bù zhī dào de shì 。
而林轩不知道的是。
The chariot hovered in mid-air as a figure materialized amidst the brilliance. It was a middle-aged man around forty years old, dressed in silk robes with an emerald jade high crown on his head. His long beard fluttered gently in the breeze, exuding an extraordinary presence.
jiù zài tā lí kāi hái bú dào liǎng gè shí chén de gōng fu ， zhěng gè kōng jiān de hùn dùn zhuàng tài dōu hái méi yǒu wán quán huī fù 。
就在他离开还不到两个时辰的功夫，整个空间的混沌状态都还没有完全恢复。
At first glance, he seemed like a nobleman from secular society. However, ordinary humans could not possibly be here; this Heavenly Pill Marquis was indeed a genuine cultivator and a Great Power at the渡劫 stage.
wū ……
呜……
He had originally been a member of a human kingdom's royal family but stumbled upon the path to cultivation through fortunate circumstances. His strength grew exponentially until he reached his current astonishing power level.
tū rán ， yī zhèn gǔ guài yǐ jí de pò kōng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
突然，一阵古怪以极的破空声传入耳朵。
While still far from matching the White Phoenix Immortal, even being at the初级渡劫 stage was beyond the wildest dreams of ordinary cultivators.
suí hòu ， zài nà jí yuǎn de tiān biān ， chū xiàn le yī dào liàng lì de guāng xiàn 。
随后，在那极远的天边，出现了一道亮丽的光线。
Suspended in mid-air, the Heavenly Pill Marquis gazed upon the scene before him, his expression fluctuating with surprise. Despite the long passage of time and the partial recovery of this chaotic space, his divine perception could still discern the peculiarities within.
kāi shǐ shàng yuǎn ， dàn què yǐ lìng rén chēng mù jié shé de sù dù ， jiē jìn le zhè biān 。
开始尚远，但却以令人瞠目结舌的速度，接近了这边。
The Heavenly Pill Marquis's demeanor shifted as he suddenly raised his head, narrowing his eyes at a distant point. With a carefree smile, he spoke: "Hm, Fairy Xiao is also here. Since that’s the case, why hide? Why not reveal yourself and meet this Marquis?"
shǎn le jǐ shǎn ， jiù lái dào yǎn qián 。
闪了几闪，就来到眼前。
"Hmph, old monster, your divine sense truly isn't something to be trifled with. I had no intention of concealing my whereabouts, but the Fire Yang Bird inherited the true essence of two spirits; it naturally possesses some concealment abilities."
suí hòu nà pò kōng shēng gā rán ér zhǐ ， guāng huá shōu liǎn ， què shì yī huá lì yì cháng de shòu chē yìng rù le yǎn lián 。
随后那破空声嘎然而止，光华收敛，却是一华丽异常的兽车映入了眼帘。
A cold voice echoed in his ears, tinged with disdain. Soon after, a large hole appeared beside him, expanding rapidly until it was ten times its original size.
nà chē xiāng yě bù zhī dào shì yòng hé děng zhēn guì de líng mù liàn zhì ér chéng de ， bù jǐn tōng tǐ jīn huáng ， ér qiě sàn fà chū qìn rén xīn pí de yì xiāng ， kàn shàng qù zūn guì yì cháng 。
那车厢也不知道是用何等珍贵的灵木炼制而成的，不仅通体金黄，而且散发出沁人心脾的异香，看上去尊贵异常。
High-pitched sounds filled the air as an eight-to-seven-meter-long firebird emerged from within. This celestial bird had golden eyes and long feathers, its fiery tail fluttering gracefully. At first glance, it resembled a phoenix in appearance.
ér chē xiāng zhī shàng ， gèng yǒu bù shǎo jīng měi de fú wén zuò wéi diāo shì 。
而车厢之上，更有不少jīng美的符文作为雕饰。
Although not truly a phoenix spirit, the aura emanating from this bird was formidable, equivalent to a Spirit Cultivator at the初级Spirit Cultivation stage, if not slightly stronger.
huá měi xuàn lì ， zǐ xì kàn ， gèng shì chōng mǎn le shén mì de qì xī ， sì hū shì yī zhǒng shàng gǔ de zhèn tú ， jù yǒu jí qí xuán miào de fáng hù xiào guǒ 。
华美绚丽，仔细看，更是充满了神秘的气息，似乎是一种上古的阵图，具有极其玄妙的防护效果。
The bird's feathers were as vibrant as flames, but more astonishingly, there stood a woman dressed in traditional attire on its back. She stood proudly, appearing around twenty-seven or eight years old with prominent brows and eyes, an exceptionally beautiful face, and a slender figure. However, her gaze was heavily laced with malevolent energy.
ér lā chē de líng shòu zé shì lóng fēi lóng ， shì hǔ fēi hǔ ， bèi shēng shuāng chì ， liù mù sì zú ， sàn fà chū lái de qì xī fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， jū rán dì liǎng qiān qī bǎi sì shí liù zhāng tiān yuán hóu yǔ hēi fèng xiān zi bù ruò yú fēn shén qī de dà néng xiū xiān zhě 。
而拉车的灵兽则似龙非龙，似虎非虎，背生双翅，六目四足，散发出来的气息非同小可，居然第两千七百四十六章 天元侯与黑凤仙子不弱于分神期的大能修仙者。
This woman was not of the human race; she was a descendant of the phoenix, possessing both lightning and fire abilities, making her incredibly formidable. Even ordinary Great Powers at the初级渡劫 stage would be greatly troubled by her presence.
néng gòu zhù shǐ zhè bān líng shòu yòng yú lā chē ， zhè wèi chē zhǔ rén de shēn fèn jiù kě xiǎng ér zhī le 。
能够驻使这般灵兽用于拉车，这位车主人的身份就可想而知了。
The Heavenly Pill Marquis felt a wave of frustration but maintained his composure. While he wasn't afraid of this woman, there was no need to provoke such an enemy unnecessarily.
shí yǒu ** yě shì shén me dù jié qī lǎo guài wù ， pǔ tōng fēn shén qī cún zài jué wú zhè bān pái chǎng yǔ běn shì de 。
十有**也是什么渡劫期老怪物，普通分神期存在绝无这般排场与本事的。
"Hmph, Your Excellency's speed is impressive; you arrived before me and must have discovered something," the Xiao-named woman said with a hint of surprise on her face. At their level, their vision far surpassed that of ordinary cultivators, but this only heightened their shock at the scene.
zhǐ jiàn nà shòu chē xuán fú yú jiǔ tiān ， guāng máng yī shǎn ， yí gè rén yǐng què yǐ zài bàn kōng zhōng fú xiàn 。
只见那兽车悬浮于九天，光芒一闪，一个人影却已在半空中浮现。
Wasn't it absurd? The entire region had been obliterated into nothingness, and the laws of nature here were shattered. Who could possess such unparalleled power to cause such a result?
shì yī sì shí yú suì de zhōng nián 。
是一四十余岁的中年。
"Immortal, you jest; I merely arrived before you," the Heavenly Pill Marquis said with a bitter smile. His words held no falsehood—both he and the Xiao woman had arrived almost simultaneously, leaving him no time to investigate thoroughly.
jǐn páo yù dài ， tóu dài bì yù gāo guān ， zhǎng rán qí xiōng ， suí fēng qīng qīng piāo dòng ， qì yǔ dàng zhēn bù fán 。
锦袍玉带，头带碧玉高冠，长髯齐胸，随风轻轻飘动，气宇当真不凡。
"Indeed, this is not surprising. If it weren't for two Great Powers engaging in battle, how could the laws of nature have been destroyed?" the Xiao-named woman's dissatisfied voice echoed.
yī yǎn wàng qù ， jiù yǒu rú shì sú zhōng de wáng hóu yì bān 。
一眼望去，就有如世俗中的王侯一般。
But the Heavenly Pill Marquis ignored her and instead expressed interest: "According to Immortal, which of the two combatants has a strength level comparable to ours?"
bù guò fán rén zì rán bù kě néng lái cǐ chù ， zhè wèi tiān yuán hóu kě shì huò zhēn jià shí de xiū xiān zhě 。
不过凡人自然不可能来此处，这位天元侯可是货真价实的修仙者。
"Hmph, it goes without saying. Our cultivation levels are formidable, ranking among the best at the初级渡劫 stage, but such destruction of the heavens and earth into chaos is beyond our capabilities," she retorted.
bù jǐn shì xiū xiān zhě ， ér qiě hái shì dù jié jí bié de dà néng cún zài 。
不仅是修仙者，而且还是渡劫级别的大能存在。
