liǎng rén xīn zhōng tǎn tè ， què wú fǎ yuán shǒu ， chú le miàn miàn xiāng qù ， gēn běn xiǎng bù chū yí gè hǎo zhǔ yì ， jí dé jiù rú tóng rè guō shàng de mǎ yǐ 。
两人心中忐忑，却无法援手，除了面面相觑，根本想不出一个好主意，急得就如同热锅上的蚂蚁。
The two of them were uneasy, but could do nothing to help. All they could do was stare at each other blankly, coming up with no good ideas. They were as anxious as ants on a hot pan.
shí jiān yì diǎn yì diǎn de guò qù 。
时间一点一点的过去。
Time passed slowly.
tiān jié yī jiù chí chí bù luò ， lóng xìng shào nián yǔ yín tóng shào nǚ de liǎn sè， yě yǒu rú tóu dǐng de wū yún ， yuè fā yīn chén le 。
天劫依旧迟迟不落，龙姓少年与银瞳少女的脸sè，也有如头顶的乌云，越发yīn沉了。
The heavenly tribulation still lingered, not yet descending upon the young man surnamed Dragon and the silver-eyed maiden. Their faces grew increasingly gloomy, mirroring the dark clouds above them.
yī shēng tàn xī chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
一声叹息传入耳朵。
A sigh entered their ears.
“ shī jiě ， nǐ yě bú yào tài dān xīn le ， sú huà shuō ， jí rén zì yǒu tiān xiàng ， lín shī dì de shén tōng shǒu duàn ， nǐ wǒ yòu bú shì méi yǒu jiàn guò ， yǎn qián suī rán wēi xiǎn ， dàn yǐ tā de shén tōng ， yí dìng kě bǎo píng ān 。” lóng xìng shào nián hǎo yán xiāng quàn ， jǐn guǎn tā zì jǐ ， xīn lǐ tóng yàng shì yì diǎn yě méi dǐ ， dàn què bù rěn xīn jiàn shī jiě zhè yàng chóu méi bù zhǎn xià qù 。
“师姐，你也不要太担心了，俗话说，吉人自有天相，林师弟的神通手段，妳我又不是没有见过，眼前虽然危险，但以他的神通，一定可保平安。”龙姓少年好言相劝，尽管他自己，心里同样是一点也没底，但却不忍心见师姐这样愁眉不展下去。
"Sister Senior, don't worry too much. As they say, good people have good fortune. Lin Junior's abilities are no secret to us; despite the danger, his powers should ensure he stays safe," the young man with the surname Dragon tried to comfort her. Although he was just as uncertain inside, he couldn’t bear to see Sister Senior so troubled.
“ dàn yuàn rú cǐ ！”
“但愿如此！”
"Let’s hope so!"
yín tóng shào nǚ tàn le kǒu qì ， jǐn guǎn tā yě qīng chǔ ， dān xīn jiě jué bù liǎo wèn tí ， kě lín xuān shì sǐ shì huó ， duì yú běn mén de yǐng xiǎng shí zài shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， tā yòu zěn me kě néng chǔ zhī tài rán ne ？
银瞳少女叹了口气，尽管她也清楚，担心解决不了问题，可林轩是死是活，对于本门的影响实在是非同小可，她又怎么可能处之泰然呢？
The silver-eyed maiden sighed. She knew that worry wouldn't solve anything, but Lin's fate had a profound impact on their sect. How could she remain calm?
qiě bù shuō liǎng rén zài zhè ér dān xīn bù yǐ ， bǎi huā gǔ ， dòng fǔ nèi ， lín xuān tóng yàng yù mèn yǐ jí 。
且不说两人在这儿担心不已，百花谷，洞府内，林轩同样郁闷以极。
Meanwhile, in the Flower Valley Cave, Lin Xuan was equally frustrated. It was highly improper to face a heavenly tribulation during an晋级. As cautious as he was, this was something he couldn’t ignore.
jìn jí de shí hòu yíng lái tiān jié nǎi shì dà jì ， yǐ lín xuān jǐn shèn xiǎo xīn de xìng gé ， yú zhè yī tiáo ， yòu zěn me huì bù qīng chǔ 。
晋级的时候迎来天劫乃是大忌，以林轩谨慎小心的xìng格，于这一条，又怎么会不清楚。
However, as a 分神 cultivator with limited lifespan, his tribulation shouldn't have come so soon. When he realized the situation wasn't right, Lin Xuan was stunned.
wèn tí shì ， zì jǐ nǎi shì fēn shén jí bié de xiū xiān zhě ， yǐ tā mù qián de shòu yuán lái shuō ， tiān jié gēn běn jiù bù yīng gāi zài zhè shí hòu jiàng luò 。
问题是，自己乃是分神级别的修仙者，以他目前的寿元来说，天劫根本就不应该在这时候降落。
Was there a mistake? He had calculated that it should be several millennia before the tribulation came. Could the heavens also make a miscalculation?
suǒ yǐ dāng chá jué dào bù tuǒ de shí hòu ， lín xuān yě měng le 。
所以当察觉到不妥的时候，林轩也懵了。
This was absurd!
yǒu méi yǒu gǎo cuò ， dù jié de shí jiān zì jǐ jì suàn guò ， zěn me yě gāi yǒu gè wǔ liù qiān nián ， nán dào lǎo tiān yé yě huì suàn cuò shí jiān ？
有没有搞错，渡劫的时间自己计算过，怎么也该有个五六千年，难道老天爷也会算错时间？
Thoughts raced through his mind like lightning. His frustration was unbearable, almost to the point of tears.
tài lí pǔ ！
太离谱！
Regardless of whether it was a momentary oversight by heaven, he couldn't ignore the danger at hand. He had to find a way to deal with it.
zhū bān niàn tou rú diàn guāng huǒ shí bān zài lín xuān nǎo hǎi zhōng zhuǎn guò ， nà yù mèn de xīn qíng bù bì shuō ， jiǎn zhí dào le yù kū wú lèi de chéng dù 。
诸般念头如电光火石般在林轩脑海中转过，那郁闷的心情不必说，简直到了yù哭无泪的程度。
Lin Xuan didn’t want to vanish without a trace.
kě bù guǎn shì bú shì lǎo tiān yé yì shí shū hū ， jiāng tiān jié jiàng luò de shí jiān nòng cuò ， yǎn qián de wēi xiǎn dōu wú fǎ huí bì de ， wéi yǒu xiǎng bàn fǎ yìng fù 。
可不管是不是老天爷一时疏忽，将天劫降落的时间弄错，眼前的危险都无法回避的，唯有想办法应付。
Fortunately, he knew his own abilities well. While he felt frustrated and upset, he wasn’t afraid. The weakest point for any cultivator was during晋级, when their essence energy focused in the dantian, making them vulnerable. Even if they encountered danger, they could barely defend themselves. But with his skills, there might be a chance.
lín xuān kě bù xiǎng zhè yàng mò míng qí miào jiù hún fēi pò sàn diào le 。
林轩可不想这样莫名其妙就魂飞魄散掉了。
The most dangerous part was the moment of breakthrough, where heart demons could exploit any weakness and cause irreparable damage.
hǎo zài zì jǐ de shén tōng zì jǐ zuì qīng chǔ ， lín xuān ào nǎo yù mèn shì méi yǒu cuò ， dàn yào shuō hài pà què wèi bì le 。
好在自己的神通自己最清楚，林轩懊恼郁闷是没有错，但要说害怕却未必了。
Thus, facing a tribulation during this critical time meant certain death for even the bravest cultivator.
jìn jí què shí shì yī míng xiū shì zuì xū ruò de shí kè ， fǎ lì jī hū dōu jù yú dān tián ， yòng yú jiāng píng jǐng tū pò 。 zhè shí hòu ， rú guǒ yù jiàn wēi xiǎn ， bù shuō fēn háo dǐ yù zhī lì yě wú ， dàn yī shēn shén tōng ， néng gòu shī zhǎn chū lái de ， kǒng pà yě méi yǒu duō shǎo le 。
晋级确实是一名修士最虚弱的时刻，法力几乎都聚于丹田，用于将瓶颈突破。这时候，如果遇见危险，不说分毫抵御之力也无，但一身神通，能够施展出来的，恐怕也没有多少了。
Across the three realms, throughout history, no exception had ever been found.
zhè qiě bù shuō ， zuì wēi xiǎn de yě bìng fēi cǐ chù ， ér zài yú jìn jí de shí hòu 。 xīn mó yě yǒu kě néng chèn jī mào chū ， nǎ pà shì yì diǎn kòng xì ， yě huì qiān bǎi bèi de fàng dà tòng kǔ ， ràng zhòng zhāo de xiū shì wàn jié bù fù 。
这且不说，最危险的也并非此处，而在于晋级的时候。心魔也有可能趁机冒出，哪怕是一点空隙，也会千百倍的放大痛苦，让中招的修士万劫不复。
At least, according to his records, that was always the case.
gù ér ruò shì zài tū pò píng jǐng de shí hòu yǒu tiān jié jiàng luò ， rèn nǐ rú hé yīng xióng liǎo de ， yě zhǐ yǒu hún fēi pò sàn yī tiáo lù 。
故而若是在突破瓶颈的时候有天劫降落，任你如何英雄了得，也只有魂飞魄散一条路。
With this thought, Lin Xuan felt some unease. But quickly, he pushed aside any cowardice.
fàng yǎn sān jiè ， zòng héng jīn gǔ ， hái cóng lái méi yǒu lì wài guò 。
放眼三界，纵横今古，还从来没有例外过。
What mattered was whether others could survive; he only needed to ensure his own survival.
zhì shǎo lín xuān zài diǎn jí shàng kàn guò de shì lì jiē shì rú cǐ de 。
至少林轩在典籍上看过的事例皆是如此的。
Moon was still nowhere to be seen, and neither Peacock nor Heart of Jade had returned. How could he… die here without a clear reason?
yī niàn zhì cǐ ， lín xuān xīn zhōng yě yǒu diǎn dǎ gǔ 。
一念至此，林轩心中也有点打鼓。
With so many concerns, Lin Xuan didn’t want to go to the underworld. No matter how dangerous things got, he had to find a way through.
dàn hěn kuài 。 nà qiè ruò de xiǎng fǎ jiù bèi tā pāo zhū nǎo hòu diào le 。
但很快。那怯弱的想法就被他抛诸脑后掉了。
Was there no cultivator who ever made it past this?
bié rén néng fǒu jiāng tiān jié dù guò yǔ tā yòu yǒu shén me guān xì ne ？
别人能否将天劫度过与他又有什么关系呢？
He would break this curse himself.
lín xuān zhǐ zhī dào zì jǐ jué bù néng yǔn luò 。
林轩只知道自己绝不能陨落。
Inspired by this thought, Lin Xuan felt an endless surge of courage. But soon, his mind settled.
yuè ér hái fāng zōng liǎo wú ， kǒng què ， qín xīn yě bù zhī dào dào nǎ lǐ qù le 。 zěn me néng …… zěn me néng bù míng bù bái de sǐ zài cǐ chù 。
月儿还芳踪了无，孔雀，琴心也不知道到哪里去了。怎么能……怎么能不明不白的死在此处。
To overcome this crisis, courage and confidence were essential, but he couldn’t be careless. Calmness was key; with both bravery and strategy, he could solve the problem.
qiān guà de shì hái tài duō ， lín xuān bù shě dé hún guī dì fǔ 。
牵挂的事还太多，林轩不舍得魂归地府。
Clearing his thoughts, Lin Xuan used inner vision to focus on breaking through the barrier. He only monitored the tribulation’s arrival with a part of his consciousness, as excessive worry wouldn't help. Moreover, he held onto a slim hope that it might come later.
suǒ yǐ bù lùn yǎn qián yǒu zěn yàng de wēi xiǎn ， tā yě yí dìng yào xiǎng bàn fǎ áo guò 。
所以不论眼前有怎样的危险，他也一定要想办法熬过。
While the delay was worrying—since the longer it took, the more powerful the tribulation would be—the opposite could also be true: if he broke through now and the tribulation came afterward, there would be no need to fear!
cóng méi yǒu xiū shì néng guò dé le zhè yī guān me ？
从没有修士能过得了这一关么？
Although this possibility was unlikely, seizing every moment to break through was wise.
nà jiù ràng zì jǐ lái jiāng zhè ge mó zhòu dǎ pò 。
那就让自己来将这个魔咒打破。
With these thoughts, Lin Xuan desperately tried to push through the barrier faster. His essence energy was already purer and denser than most of his peers, but breaking through still wasn’t easy.
xiǎng dào zhè lǐ ， lín xuān xīn zhōng yǒng qǐ wú jìn de yǒng qì ， dàn tā hěn kuài ， jiù píng xīn jìng qì 。
想到这里，林轩心中涌起无尽的勇气，但他很快，就平心静气。
Time passed slowly.
xiǎng yào dù guò yǎn qián de wēi jī ， yǒng qì zì xìn gù rán shì bì bù kě shǎo dì ， dàn yě bù néng dà yì ， lěng jìng shì bì xū 。 yào yǒu yǒng yǒu móu cái néng jiě jué yǎn qián de nán tí 。
想要度过眼前的危机，勇气自信固然是必不可少地，但也不能大意，冷静是必须。要有勇有谋才能解决眼前的难题。
Before long, a whole night had passed unnoticed in the cave.
nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， lín xuān jiāng fēn rǎo de zá niàn bǐng chú ， shī zhǎn nèi shì zhī shù ， yì xīn yí yì de chōng jī píng jǐng ， zhì yú hé shí tiān jié jiàng luò 。 tā zhǐ shì fēn chū yī bù fèn shén niàn jiān shì zhe 。
脑海中念头转过，林轩将纷扰的杂念摒除，施展内视之术，一心一意的冲击瓶颈，至于何时天劫降落。他只是分出一部分神念监视着。
Outside, the silver-eyed maiden and the young man with the surname Dragon were on the verge of panic.
yī lái tài guò dān xīn ， yě yú shì wú bǔ 。
一来太过担心，也于事无补。
Initially, encountering a heavenly tribulation during晋级 was already a matter of life and death. Their hope lay solely in Lin’s superior strength compared to his peers.
èr lái ， lín xuān xīn zhōng yě cún le wàn yī de zhǐ wàng 。
二来，林轩心中也存了万一的指望。
But even the strongest has limits. After an entire night of preparation, the tribulation’s power would be terrifying. Both could hardly imagine its severity.
tiān jié chí chí bù luò ， gù rán lìng rén dān yōu wú bǐ ， yīn wèi yuè wǎn jiàng xià 。 wēi lì yuè kě pà ， dàn fán shì yǒu lì jiù yǒu bì ， zhè fǎn guò lái dào lǐ yě shì yī yàng dì ， jiǎ rú …… děng zì jǐ dōu jiāng píng jǐng chōng pò ， nà shí hòu tiān jié cái là xià ， qǐ bù shì bù zú wèi lǜ le a ！
天劫迟迟不落，固然令人担忧无比，因为越晚降下。威力越可怕，但凡事有利就有弊，这反过来道理也是一样地，假如……等自己都将瓶颈冲破，那时候天劫才落下，岂不是不足为虑了啊！
"Sister Senior!"
suī rán zhè zhǒng kě néng xìng bù dà ， dàn xiàn zài zhuā jǐn shí jiān chōng jī píng jǐng zǒng shì méi cuò 。
虽然这种可能xìng不大，但现在抓紧时间冲击瓶颈总是没错。
The young man with the surname Dragon couldn’t even comfort her anymore; their anxiety was unbearable.
xīn zhōng rú cǐ xiǎng zhe ， lín xuān zì rán shì pīn mìng xiǎng yào kuài diǎn jiàng píng jǐng tū pò 。
心中如此想着，林轩自然是拼命想要快点将瓶颈突破。
"Stop talking, let's move back!" The silver-eyed maiden’s voice had calmed down.
tā de fǎ lì lùn jīng chún níng hòu ， yuán běn jiù yào shèng guò tóng jiē cún zài xǔ duō ， kě ráo shì rú cǐ ， nà píng jǐng yòu qǐ néng shì shuō pò jiù pò 。
他的法力论jīng纯凝厚，原本就要胜过同阶存在许多，可饶是如此，那瓶颈又岂能是说破就破。
"Move back?"
shí jiān huǎn huǎn liú shī zhāo 。
时间缓缓流失着。
"Yes, considering the scale of this tribulation, if we stay here, there’s a high chance we’ll be caught in it. Lin Junior’s fate is uncertain; we can’t risk our lives," the silver-eyed maiden explained.
bù zhī bù jué ， yǐ guò qù le zhěng zhěng yī yè 。
不知不觉，已过去了整整一夜。
The young man with the surname Dragon was taken aback but quickly understood his sister's intentions.
lín xuān zài dòng fǔ zhōng shàng bù jué dé ， wài miàn ， yín tóng shào nǚ yǔ lóng xìng shào nián dōu yào jí fēng le 。
林轩在洞府中尚不觉得，外面，银瞳少女与龙姓少年都要急疯了。
They all cared deeply for Lin and couldn't help him. The only thing they could do now was protect themselves. If both of them were caught, along with Senior Elder Lin, the Cloud Concealment Sect would truly be finished.
yuán běn ， jìn jí shí yù jiàn tiān jié jiù shì jiǔ sǐ yì shēng ， tā men suǒ zhǐ wàng de ， yě bù guò shì lín shī dì de shí lì ， yuǎn yuǎn shèng guò tóng jiē xiū xiān zhě 。
原本，晋级时遇见天劫就是九死一生，他们所指望的，也不过是林师弟的实力，远远胜过同阶修仙者。
At their level, they wouldn’t act on impulse.
kě zài qiáng zǒng yě yǒu gè dù ， yǎn qián ， nà tiān jié xù shì dōu yǐ zhěng zhěng yī yè le ， zài là xià lái shí ， huì kě pà dào hé zhǒng chéng dù ， liǎng rén jī hū shì xiǎng dōu bù gǎn xiǎng 。
可再强总也有个度，眼前，那天劫蓄势都已整整一夜了，再落下来时，会可怕到何种程度，两人几乎是想都不敢想。
"Alright!"
“ shī jiě ！”
“师姐！”
The young man with the surname Dragon agreed, moving back with his sister.
lóng xìng shào nián lián quàn wèi de huà dōu shuō bù chū ， shì qíng fā zhǎn dào zhè yī bù ， tā de xīn qíng ， yǐ shì tǎn tè dào wú yǐ fù jiā de chéng dù 。
龙姓少年连劝慰的话都说不出，事情发展到这一步，他的心情，已是忐忑到无以复加的程度。
Suddenly,
“ bú yào shuō le ， wǒ men tuì yuǎn yì diǎn ba ！” yín tóng shào nǚ de shēng yīn ， què fǎn ér lěng jìng xià lái le 。
“不要说了，我们退远一点吧！”银瞳少女的声音，却反而冷静下来了。
Boom!
“ tuì yuǎn yì diǎn ？”
“退远一点？”
A thunderous sound echoed in their ears… no, it wasn't a boom; it was lightning. Although the continuous rumble of thunder had been constant throughout the night, this was different.
“ bù cuò ， guān zhè tiān jié de guī mó ， wǒ men liǎ ruò shì zhàn zài cǐ chù ， shí yǒu ** yě shì huì bèi yāng jí ， lín shī dì zhè cì shēng sǐ wèi bǔ ， wǒ men liǎ bù néng zài yǔn luò ……” yín tóng shào nǚ tàn xī zhe shuō 。
“不错，观这天劫的规模，我们俩若是站在此处，十有**也是会被殃及，林师弟这次生死未卜，我们俩不能再陨落……”银瞳少女叹息着说。
Could it be…
lóng xìng shào nián yī è ， dàn hěn kuài yě jiù míng bái shī jiě de kǔ xīn le 。
龙姓少年一愕，但很快也就明白师姐的苦心了。
The young man with the surname Dragon raised his head.
lín shī dì ， tā men dōu hěn dān xīn zháo jí ， dàn què chā bù shàng shǒu qù ， rú jīn wéi yī néng zuò de ， jiù shì bǎo hù hǎo zì jǐ ， fǒu zé lín shī dì ruò shì yǔn luò ， zì jǐ liǎng rén zài bèi yāng jí ， sān dà tài shàng zhǎng lǎo yì qǐ hún guī dì fǔ ， nà yún yǐn zōng cái zhēn shì wán le 。
林师弟，他们都很担心着急，但却插不上手去，如今唯一能做的，就是保护好自己，否则林师弟若是陨落，自己两人再被殃及，三大太上长老一起魂归地府，那云隐宗才真是完了。
Then, dark clouds churned more violently, and a blue lightning bolt, like a sword, pierced through the sky, targeting the valley where Lin Xuan resided.
xiū wèi dào le tā men zhè ge děng jí ， zì rán bú huì yì qì yòng shì 。
修为到了他们这个等级，自然不会义气用事。
The sight was shocking. But this was just the beginning.
“ hǎo ！”
“好！”
Following the thunderclaps, the ground began to shake unpredictably as heavy rain poured down. Lightning, thick as a child’s arm, descended from the stormy clouds, quickly engulfing the entire Flower Valley.
lóng xìng shào nián dā yìng yī shēng ， shēn xíng yī dòng ， jiù yǔ shī jiě yì qǐ xiàng hòu tuì qù le 。
龙姓少年答应一声，身形一动，就与师姐一起像后退去了。
PS: I apologize for the late update today. But more is coming soon; please stay tuned and give me some monthly votes! The full story is ongoing.
The two of them were uneasy, but could do nothing to help. All they could do was stare at each other blankly, coming up with no good ideas. They were as anxious as ants on a hot pan.
Time passed slowly.
The heavenly tribulation still lingered, not yet descending upon the young man surnamed Dragon and the silver-eyed maiden. Their faces grew increasingly gloomy, mirroring the dark clouds above them.
"Ah!"
A sigh entered their ears.
"Sister Senior, don't worry too much. As they say, good people have good fortune.

Although he was just as uncertain inside, he couldn’t bear to see Sister Senior so troubled.
"Let’s hope so!"
The silver-eyed maiden sighed. She knew that worry wouldn't solve anything, but Lin's fate had a profound impact on their sect. How could she remain calm?
...
Meanwhile, in the Flower Valley Cave, Lin Xuan was equally frustrated. It was highly improper to face a heavenly tribulation during an晋级. As cautious as he was, this was something he couldn’t ignore.
