zhì yú dì èr gè yuán yóu ， zé shì tiān yuán hóu duì yú pǔ tōng de fán rén ， yuán běn yě jiù méi zěn me zhòng shì ， zhòng suǒ zhōu zhī ， hěn duō xiū xiān zhě dōu xiū liàn yǒu yǐn nì liǎn qì zhī shù ， míng míng shì gāo jiē xiū xiān zhě ， què kě yǐ tōng guò cǐ shén tōng ， jiāng zì jǐ de jìng jiè ， píng kōng yǐn mán jǐ gè ， ràng rén wù yǐ wéi shì xiǎo xiā mǐ ， cóng ér kě yǐ hún shuǐ mō yú 。
至于第二个缘由，则是天元侯对于普通的凡人，原本也就没怎么重视，众所周知，很多修仙者都修炼有隐匿敛气之术，明明是高阶修仙者，却可以通过此神通，将自己的境界，凭空隐瞒几个，让人误以为是小虾米，从而可以浑水摸鱼。
The second reason was that Lord Tianyuan did not pay much attention to ordinary mortals. It was well known that many cultivators practiced techniques for concealing their aura, allowing high-ranking cultivators to hide their true cultivation level and make others think they were mere novices. This way, they could easily slip through the cracks.
zhè yì diǎn ， bù zú wéi qí 。
这一点，不足为奇。
This wasn't surprising.
rán ér zài lì hài de yǐn nì shén tōng ， zǒng yě yǒu gè dù 。
然而再厉害的隐匿神通，总也有个度。
However, even the most powerful concealment techniques had limits. The more one tried to hide, the harder it became, often leading to exposure instead. For instance, a cultivator who had just undergone their first tribulation—let alone someone at the Spirit Formation stage—would find it absurdly difficult to pretend they were only at the Foundation Establishment stage.
yǐn mán de xiū wèi yuè duō ， yuè yǒu nán dù ， huàn jù huà shuō ， yuè shì róng yì bào lù 。
隐瞒的修为越多，越有难度，换句话说，越是容易暴露。
The sheer amount of essence qi in their body couldn't be hidden away like that; compressing one's cultivation too much would not yield good results, and might even backfire. Even with Lin Xuan’s profound understanding of concealment techniques, he usually pretended to be an婴期 cultivator at most.
bǐ rú shuō nǐ yī dù jié ， bù ， nǎ pà shì fēn shén jí bié de xiū xiān zhě ， xiǎng yào zhuāng chéng yī zhù jī qī xiǎo xiū shì ， nà bú shì gěi zì jǐ zhǎo bù zì zài me ？
比如说你一渡劫，不，哪怕是分神级别的修仙者，想要装成一筑基期小修士，那不是给自己找不自在么？
That young fellow had managed to escape all the way here, according to Lord Tianyuan’s speculation, was likely a Spirit Formation stage or higher. Otherwise, his escape wouldn’t have been so swift. Such cultivators, even with their concealment techniques, could only masquerade as Separation or at best, an婴期 cultivator.
tǐ nèi nà me páng bó de líng lì ， kě bú shì xiǎng yào cáng zài nǎ lǐ ， jiù néng cáng zài nǎ lǐ 。
体内那么磅礴的灵力，可不是想要藏在哪里，就能藏在哪里。
Thus, most of the targets were high-ranking cultivators; low-ranking ones were merely swept aside, and ordinary mortals… well, there were simply too many to keep track of. It was impossible for them anyway.
yā suō de jìng jiè tài duō ， gēn běn jiù qǐ bú dào hěn hǎo de xiào guǒ ， fǎn ér yǒu kě néng nòng qiǎo chéng zhuō ， suǒ yǐ jí biàn yǐ lín xuān xiū wèi zhī xuán miào ， dǒng de de liǎn qì shù zhī duō ， tōng cháng ， yě jǐn jǐn shì zhuāng chéng yī yuán yīng qī xiū shì yě jiù bà le 。
压缩的境界太多，根本就起不到很好的效果，反而有可能弄巧成拙，所以即便以林轩修为之玄妙，懂得的敛气术之多，通常，也仅仅是装成一元婴期修士也就罢了。
Lord Tianyuan’s carelessness wasn’t the issue here. He had never imagined that in this world, there existed such a miraculous technique as the Demonic Transformation into Mortal, which could turn a cultivator into an ordinary mortal alive and well.
nà xiǎo jiā huo ， néng yī lù táo dào zhè me yuǎn de dì fāng lái ， jù tiān yuán hóu tuī cè ， shí yǒu bā jiǔ shì fēn shén yǐ shàng jí bié de 。
那小家伙，能一路逃到这么远的地方来，据天元侯推测，十有仈jiǔ是分神以上级别的。
Thus, while the mortals fled out of the city with relatively little hindrance—most managed to escape successfully—the cultivators were trapped by the ruthless Jin people.
fǒu zé ， dùn shù bú huì nà me kuài 。
否则，遁术不会那么快。
Frustrating!
zhè zhǒng xiū wèi de cún zài ， jí biàn shī zhǎn liǎn qì shù ， yě zuì duō wěi zhuāng chéng lí hé ， zhì duō yuán yīng liǎo bù qǐ le ， suǒ yǐ tā de mù biāo ， qí shí dà bù fèn shì fàng zài gāo jiē xiū xiān zhě ， dī jiē xiū shì bù guò yī sǎo ér guò ， zhì yú fán rén ， yī lái rén shù tài duō ， gù jí bù guò lái ， èr lái ， yě què shí bù kě néng de 。
这种修为的存在，即便施展敛气术，也最多伪装成离合，至多元婴了不起了，所以他的目标，其实大部分是放在高阶修仙者，低阶修士不过一扫而过，至于凡人，一来人数太多，顾及不过来，二来，也确实不可能的。
Watching their fellow cultivators being drawn into tribulation after tribulation, the surviving cultivators were filled with both fear and rage. This old monster had no grudge or enmity; he had really resorted to such brutal tactics.
zhè bù néng guài tiān yuán hóu dà yì shū hū ， ér shì tā zuò mèng yě bù céng xiǎng ， shì shàng hái yǒu tiān mó huà yīng ** zhè yàng shén qí de mì shù ， néng jiāng yī xiū xiān zhě ， huó shēng shēng huà shēn chéng fán rén le 。
这不能怪天元侯大意疏忽，而是他做梦也不曾想，世上还有天魔化婴**这样神奇的秘术，能将一修仙者，活生生化身成凡人了。
They would fight back!
gù ér fán rén yǒng chū chéng bēn táo ， shòu dào de zǔ lán fǎn ér bù duō ， chú le yī xiē shí zài yùn qì bù hǎo de jiā huo ， yǔn luò yú yú bō ， jué dà duō shù rén ， jū rán zhēn shùn lì táo chū qù le 。
故而凡人涌出城奔逃，受到的阻拦反而不多，除了一些实在运气不好的家伙，陨落于余波，绝大多数人，居然真顺利逃出去了。
Running away meant certain death, and it was even more swift. Rather than flee, they decided to stay and face the Jin people head-on. The surviving cultivators were all determined now.
zhè yí mù kàn dé nà xiē xiū xiān zhě xiàn mù bù yǐ ， zuò mèng yě xiǎng bú dào 。 zì jǐ gāo gāo zài shàng de xiān shī ， jū rán hái yǒu xiàn mù pǔ tōng fán rén de yī rì。
这一幕看得那些修仙者羡慕不已，做梦也想不到。自己高高在上的仙师，居然还有羡慕普通凡人的一rì。
No longer did they look for opportunities to escape. Instead, they unleashed various techniques and treasures with all their might. The sounds of explosions filled the air as both sides fought fiercely in the sky and on the ground.
zhè jiàn shì ， shuō qǐ lái yǒu xiē fěng cì ， rán ér cǐ kè què shì shì shí ， fán rén yǒu jī huì táo tuō ， tā men què bèi jīn rén hàn bù wèi sǐ de kùn zài cǐ chù 。
这件事，说起来有些讽刺，然而此刻却是事实，凡人有机会逃脱，他们却被金人悍不畏死的困在此处。
Lord Tianyuan was at a critical juncture, having decided to go all out. True Apex Sect had offended them severely; it was now time for them to deal with this matter decisively. They targeted the middle-aged scholar with lethal intent.
kě wù ！
可恶！
The appearance of Xuan Shu’s senior was terrifying as well. This great being had also unleashed his true power, hating his opponent from the bottom of his heart. Although he had just advanced, True Apex Sect was a massive organization with profound resources that far surpassed ordinary sects.
yǎn chǒu zhe tóng dào men yí gè gè bèi chōu hún liàn pò ， nà xiē xìng cún xià lái de xiū xiān zhě ， zài dǎn zhàn xīn jī zhī yú 。 què yě chū lí fèn nù 。 zhè lǎo guài wù ， dà jiā yǔ tā wǎng rì wú yuàn ， jìn rì wú chóu 。 jū rán zhēn chū zhè bān shā shǒu 。
眼瞅着同道们一个个被抽魂炼魄，那些幸存下来的修仙者，在胆战心机之余。却也出离愤怒。这老怪物，大家与他往rì无怨，近rì无仇。居然真出这般杀手。
Even cultivators at the early and mid-Tribulation stages could still face their demise in tribulations, but this sect always had high-ranking experts to back them up.
pīn le ！
拼了！
Before these senior ancestors passed away, they left behind some treasures and cultivation insights. While the former were merely valuable, the cultivation insights from those who had successfully undergone tribulations were virtually priceless.
táo shì sǐ ， ér qiě yǔn luò dé gèng jiā xùn sù ， jì rú cǐ 。 bù rú liú zài cǐ dì ， yǔ jīn rén yī bó ， xìng cún xià lái de xiū xiān zhě ， yě wú yī lì wài de dǎ chū le zhēn huǒ 。
逃是死，而且陨落得更加迅速，既如此。不如留在此地，与金人一搏，幸存下来的修仙者，也无一例外的打出了真火。
The saying went: "A single word of advice is worth ten years of study." A few words of guidance from a senior ancestor could save one from many detours.
bù zài yǎn chǒu zhe kōng dāng xiǎng yào táo chū 。
不再眼瞅着空当想要逃出。
At their level, such detours would take thousands or even tens of thousands of years to traverse.
ér shì pīn mìng de cuī dòng qǐ gè zhǒng shén tōng yǔ bǎo wù ， yī shí jiān ， hōng lōng lóng de bào liè shēng dà zuò ， shuāng fāng sī shā dé gèng jiā cǎn liè le 。
而是拼命的催动起各种神通与宝物，一时间，轰隆隆的爆裂声大做，双方厮杀得更加惨烈了。
Moreover, if there was some description on how to successfully pass through the Great Tribulation in those notes, it would be even more valuable and precious.
tiān kōng zhī zhōng ， tiān yuán hóu yě dào le gū zhù yí zhì de chéng dù ， zhēn jí mén zhè cì shì dé zuì dé hěn le 。 suǒ xìng yī bù zuò ， èr bù xiū ， duì zhōng nián rú shēng tòng xià shā shǒu 。
天空之中，天元侯也到了孤注一掷的程度，真极门这次是得罪得狠了。索xìng一不做，二不休，对中年儒生痛下杀手。
Even with just a few scribbles, they might increase one's chances of survival by a small margin during tribulations.
xuán shū shàng rén de miàn róng gèng shì kě bù ， zhè wèi dà néng tóng yàng dǎ chū le zhēn huǒ ， hèn duì shǒu rù gǔ ， tā shì xīn jìn jí de méi cuò ， dàn zhēn jí mén nǎi páng rán dà wù 。 dǐ yùn zhī shēn hòu ， yuǎn fēi yì bān mén pài kě yǐ bǐ nǐ de 。
璇书上人的面容更是可怖，这位大能同样打出了真火，恨对手入骨，他是新晋级的没错，但真极门乃庞然大物。底蕴之深厚，远非一般门派可以比拟的。
The历代 grandmasters of True Apex Sect had left such treasures behind before their final moments. Although Xuan Shu’s advancement was recent, he gained much from reading the notes of his senior ancestors. Moreover, the sect’s Senior Grandmaster, Heavenly Apex True Person, specially came out of seclusion to congratulate him and impart valuable cultivation insights.
dù jié chū qī yǔ zhōng qī de xiū xiān zhě ， yī jiù nán miǎn hào jìn shòu yuán hòu zài tiān jié xià yǔn luò ， dàn gāi mén pài yì zhí bù fá dù jié jí bié de dà néng zuò zhèn de 。
渡劫初期与中期的修仙者，依旧难免耗尽寿元后在天劫下陨落，但该门派一直不乏渡劫级别的大能坐镇的。
With such favorable conditions, Xuan Shu’s strength far surpassed that of new high-ranking experts. Although he was still a step behind Lord Tianyuan, it would not be easy for the latter to kill him here in a hurry.
zhè xiē qián bèi zǔ shī yǔn luò zhī qián ， zì rán huì liú xià yī xiē bǎo wù 。 yǐ jí xiū liàn xīn dé 。
这些前辈祖师陨落之前，自然会留下一些宝物。以及修炼心得。
After Lin Xuan used the Demonic Transformation into Mortal technique, while his spirit could no longer be released, his keen senses allowed him to observe the situation clearly. The city was bustling with mortals who had a good chance of escaping.
qián zhě yě jiù bà le ， ér dù jié qī cún zài de xiū liàn xīn dé 。 kě shì kuàng shì nán xún zhī wù ， jià zhí gēn běn jiù shì méi yǒu bàn fǎ jì suàn de 。
前者也就罢了，而渡劫期存在的修炼心得。可是旷世难寻之物，价值根本就是没有办法计算的。
His opportunity had come.
sú huà shuō ， tīng jūn yī xí huà ， shèng dú shí nián shū ， dé dào qián bèi zǔ shī de yī jù zhǐ diǎn ， zé kě yǐ ràng dà jiā shǎo zǒu xǔ duō wān lù 。
俗话说，听君一席话，胜读十年书，得到前辈祖师的一句指点，则可以让大家少走许多弯路。
Lin Xuan secretly joined the chaotic crowd and ran towards the gates.
ér xiū wèi dào le tā men nà ge děng jí ， wān lù de shí jiān ， tōng cháng shì yòng wàn nián lái héng liáng jì suàn de 。
而修为到了他们那个等级，弯路的时间，通常是用万年来衡量计算的。
In Wending City, there were millions of ordinary mortals. With Lin Xuan’s unremarkable appearance, his actions would not draw any attention. After running for a short while, he smoothly exited the city without hindrance from the Jin people.
zhè qiě bù shuō ， ruò shì xīn dé bǐ jì shàng ， yǒu yī xiē guān yú rú hé dù guò dà tiān jié de miáo shù ， nà jiù gèng jiā zhí qián yǔ bǎo guì le 。
这且不说，若是心得笔记上，有一些关于如何渡过大天劫的描述，那就更加值钱与宝贵了。
Their lack of resistance filled him with joy, and he ran even faster. Although he had no magic power now, his physical strength was formidable, surpassing that of most beast races at his level. His speed was so fast that it outpaced a thousand-mile horse by a little margin.
jí biàn zhǐ yǒu liáo liáo jǐ bǐ ， shuō bù dìng zài dù jié de shí hòu ， jiù néng ràng huó mìng de jī huì ， zēng jiā shàng nà me yì chéng de 。
即便只有寥寥几笔，说不定在渡劫的时候，就能让活命的机会，增加上那么一成的。
In less than an hour, he had run over a hundred miles.
zhēn jí mén de lì dài dà néng lǎo zǔ ， zài zuò huà qián dōu liú xià le zhè yàng de bǎo wù 。
真极门的历代大能老祖，在坐化前都留下了这样的宝物。
However, the sounds of explosions still echoed in the distance.
xuán shū shàng rén jìn jí de shí jiān suī duǎn ， dàn zài fān yuè le qián bèi dà néng de bǐ jì hòu yě yǒu hěn dà de shōu huò ， gèng bú yào shuō gāi pài de dà zhǎng lǎo ， tiān jí zhēn rén zài dé zhī tā chéng gōng jìn jí hòu ， hái zhuān chéng chū guān yī cì ， yī shì duì tā zhè wèi xīn jìn tóng mén biǎo shì zhù hè ， zhì yú dì èr diǎn me ， zé shì kàn zài tóng mén de miàn shàng ， zhǐ diǎn le bù shǎo xiū liàn xīn dé 。
璇书上人晋级的时间虽短，但在翻阅了前辈大能的笔记后也有很大的收获，更不要说该派的大长老，天极真人在得知他成功晋级后，还专程出关一次，一是对他这位新晋同门表示祝贺，至于第二点么，则是看在同门的面上，指点了不少修炼心得。
If he turned around, he could see vibrant light flickering on the horizon, more splendid than fireworks.
yǒu zhè yàng hǎo de tiáo jiàn ， xuán shū shàng rén de shí lì ， zì rán yuǎn fēi nà xiē xīn jìn dà néng kě bǐ ， suī rán yǔ tiān yuán hóu xiāng jiào ， duō shǎo hái yǒu chā jù ， dàn duì fāng jí qiè jiān ， xiǎng yào jiāng tā miè shā zài zhè lǐ ， què yě bìng bù róng yì 。
有这样好的条件，璇书上人的实力，自然远非那些新晋大能可比，虽然与天元侯相较，多少还有差距，但对方急切间，想要将他灭杀在这里，却也并不容易。
Lin Xuan stopped and narrowed his eyes, showing signs of contemplation.
lín xuān shī zhǎn tiān mó huà yīng ** hòu ， suī rán wú fǎ jiāng shén shí fàng chū ， dàn yǎn guān liù lù ， ěr tīng bā fāng ， duì yú yǎn qián de jú miàn ， yě yǒu le zhǎng wò 。
林轩施展天魔化婴**后，虽然无法将神识放出，但眼观六路，耳听八方，对于眼前的局面，也有了掌握。
This distance was far for mortals but not enough to escape from their grasp. If they wanted to, they could reach here in an instant.
tiān kōng dì shàng ， dōu dǎ dé rè nào yǐ jí ， fán rén què yǒu hěn dà chū chéng de jī lǜ 。
天空地上，都打得热闹以极，凡人却有很大出城的几率。
The best course of action now would be to maintain this state and travel further until he was beyond the range of their spiritual perception.
zì jǐ jī huì lái le 。
自己机会来了。
However, implementing this plan was easier said than done. One, Lin Xuan knew that tribulation-stage cultivators had incredibly powerful spiritual perceptions; even tens of thousands of miles could be within their reach.
lín xuān xīn zhōng àn xǐ ， biǎo miàn shàng bù dòng shēng sè， yě qiǎo rán hùn rù le huāng luàn de rén qún lǐ ， xiàng chéng mén pǎo qù 。
林轩心中暗喜，表面上不动声sè，也悄然混入了慌乱的人群里，像城门跑去。
Secondly, a mere mortal couldn’t possibly walk such a distance in a lifetime. Even with his formidable physical strength, traveling so far would still be challenging. Who knew what unforeseen events might occur along the way?
wén tiān chéng zhōng ， fán rén shù yǐ bǎi wàn jì ， lín xuān de róng mào yòu bù qǐ yǎn yǐ jí ， cǐ jǔ ， zì rán bú huì yǐn qǐ rèn hé rén de zhù yì ， zài bēn pǎo piàn kè hòu ， shùn lì yì cháng jiù cóng chéng zhōng chū qù 。
闻天城中，凡人数以百万计，林轩的容貌又不起眼以极，此举，自然不会引起任何人的注意，在奔跑片刻后，顺利异常就从城中出去。
Moreover, the Jin people wouldn't stay put; how could he know when he had escaped their spiritual perception range without restoring his magic power?
nà xiē jīn rén háo wú zǔ lán zhī yì ， lín xuān xīn zhōng dà xǐ ， gèng shì quán lì bēn pǎo ， suī rán tā xiàn zài hún shēn shàng xià ， méi yǒu yī sī fǎ lì ， dàn ** de qiáng hèng chéng dù ， què bù xùn yú tóng jiē yāo zú ， zhè quán lì bēn pǎo qǐ lái ， sù dù zhī kuài ， bǐ qǐ qiān lǐ liáng jū ， dōu hái lüè shèng shǎo xǔ 。
那些金人毫无阻拦之意，林轩心中大喜，更是全力奔跑，虽然他现在浑身上下，没有一丝法力，但**的强横程度，却不逊于同阶妖族，这全力奔跑起来，速度之快，比起千里良驹，都还略胜少许。
