lín shī dì ná chū lái de ， jū rán shì rú cǐ liǎo bù dé de bǎo wù ， lóng xìng shào nián yě bèi hěn hěn zhèn hàn le yī fān de 。
林师弟拿出来的，居然是如此了不得的宝物，龙姓少年也被狠狠震撼了一番的。
Lin Xian's junior brother produced such a remarkable treasure. The silver-eyed youth was also greatly shocked.
tā de shí lì bù jí yín tóng shào nǚ ， dàn rú jīn yě shì fēn shén zhōng qī ， suī rán jù lí chōng jī dù jié qī de píng jǐng ， hái yǒu hěn zhǎng de lù yào zǒu ， dàn duì yú tā de nán dù ， yòu zěn me méi yǒu ěr wén ne ？
他的实力不及银瞳少女，但如今也是分神中期，虽然距离冲击渡劫期的瓶颈，还有很长的路要走，但对于牠的难度，又怎么没有耳闻呢？
His strength fell short of the silver-eyed girl, but he was now at the middle-stage of Spirit Refinement. Although there were still many steps to reach the bottleneck of Transcending Tribulation, how could he not have heard about its difficulty?
lì dài zǔ shī de gǎn wù ， liú xià lái de xiū liàn xīn dé ， hái yǒu shàng gǔ diǎn jí ， guān yú cǐ píng jǐng de yī xiē miáo shù ， suī rán měi gè rén ， yù dào de qíng kuàng bù tóng ， dàn nà nán dù ， yě dōu shì xiāng chà fǎng fú 。
历代祖师的感悟，留下来的修炼心得，还有上古典籍，关于此瓶颈的一些描述，虽然每个人，遇到的情况不同，但那难度，也都是相差仿佛。
The insights of past patriarchs, their cultivation experiences, and ancient texts all described this bottleneck. While everyone's situation differed, the difficulty was roughly similar.
shī jiě lián chōng jī píng jǐng de yǒng qì dōu méi yǒu ， yīn wèi nà gēn běn jiù shì bái fèi lì qì bà le ， yī sī jī huì yě wú 。
师姐连冲击瓶颈的勇气都没有，因为那根本就是白费力气罢了，一丝机会也无。
His senior sister lacked the courage to even attempt breaking through the bottleneck; it would be a waste of effort with no chance at success.
huàn zuò zì jǐ ne ， yòu huì rú hé ？
换做自己呢，又会如何？
What about him? Although he had yet to face such difficulties, the silver-eyed girl and the youth had certainly pondered this question privately.
suī rán zhè ge kùn nán ， shì tā mù qián shàng wèi yù dào ， dàn cǐ jiǎ shè ， lóng xìng shào nián àn dì lǐ ， què jué duì shì mén xīn zì wèn guò 。
虽然这个困难，是他目前尚未遇到，但此假设，龙姓少年暗地里，却绝对是扪心自问过。
The answer was clear. His talent fell short of his senior sister’s. Knowing their ages were similar, they entered the sect together as juniors, while she was now in the later stages whereas he remained in the middle stage. Who had better talent? This was evident.
zhì yú dá àn rú hé ， nà yǐ bù yòng duō shuō ， yīn wèi tā de zī zhì ， hái bù jí shī jiě ， yào zhī dào liǎng rén nián suì xiāng chà fǎng fú ， dāng nián shì tóng yī pī dì zǐ rù mén de ， shī jiě rú jīn yǐ shì hòu qī ， ér zì jǐ hái zài zhōng qī ， shéi de zī zhì gèng hǎo ， zhè jiù bú shì lì zhèng me ？
至于答案如何，那已不用多说，因为他的资质，还不及师姐，要知道两人年岁相差仿佛，当年是同一批弟子入门的，师姐如今已是后期，而自己还在中期，谁的资质更好，这就不是例证么？
With no chance at Transcending Tribulation for his senior sister, it would be even more fruitless for him. Advancing to late-stage Spirit Refinement would already be a success.
dù jié qī ， shī jiě dōu yī sī jī huì yě wú ， huàn zuò zì jǐ ， nà jiù gèng bù yòng duō xiǎng le 。
渡劫期，师姐都一丝机会也无，换做自己，那就更不用多想了。
Then, waiting for one tribulation after another until eventually perishing under its might.
néng gòu jìn jiē dào fēn shén hòu qī jiù bù cuò 。
能够进阶到分神后期就不错。
This was his destiny.
suí hòu ne ， jiù děng zhe yī cì yòu yī cì de tiān jié jiàng luò ， zhōng yǒu yī tiān ， huì zài tiān jié xià hún fēi pò sàn de 。
随后呢，就等着一次又一次的天劫降落，终有一天，会在天劫下魂飞魄散的。
Unwillingness meant nothing; human determination could only go so far.
zhè yě jiù shì zì jǐ de sù mìng le 。
这也就是自己的宿命了。
But now, Lin Xian's junior brother had produced this treasure, pointing the way to future cultivation for both him and his senior sister. How could the silver-eyed youth not be grateful? His excitement matched that of his senior sister.
bù gān xīn yòu rú hé ， rén dìng shèng tiān yě zhǐ shì shuō shuō ， zhì shǎo dà bù fèn rén shì méi yǒu nà běn shì de 。
不甘心又如何，人定胜天也只是说说，至少大部分人是没有那本事的。
"Is it because I didn't blame you just now for teasing me? Did you want to pique my curiosity?"
rán ér xiàn zài ， lín shī dì què ná chū zhè bǎo wù ， wèi zì jǐ hé shī jiě rì hòu de xiū xíng ， zhǐ chū le yī tiáo míng lù 。
然而现在，林师弟却拿出这宝物，为自己和师姐rì后的修行，指出了一条明路。
"I'm not saying anything like that, junior brother. If there's such good fortune, I'd gladly have you tease me every day."
lóng xìng shào nián zěn me néng bù gǎn jī ， cǐ kè tā nà jī dòng xīn xǐ de xīn qíng ， qí shí yě yǔ shī jiě xiāng chà fǎng fú 。
龙姓少年怎么能不感激，此刻他那激动欣喜的心情，其实也与师姐相差仿佛。
"Haha..."
“ zěn me ， shī xiōng bù yuàn guài wǒ 。 gāng gāng diào nǐ wèi kǒu le ？”
“怎么，师兄不怨怪我。刚刚吊你胃口了？”
At this point, the three of them laughed together.
“ shī dì zhè shì shuō nǎ lǐ huà lái 。 yǒu zhè yàng de hǎo shì ， nǐ jiù suàn tiān tiān diào yú xiōng de wèi kǒu ， wǒ yě shì gān zhī rú yí de 。”
“师弟这是说哪里话来。有这样的好事，你就算天天吊愚兄的胃口，我也是甘之如饴的。”
The silver-eyed girl and the youth did not question the origin of the cultivation technique; they were too polite to ask. The benefits were real, and it wouldn't affect their practice regardless of where it came from.
“ hē hē ……”
“呵呵……”
"Right, Lin junior brother, you're not planning on cultivating this technique, right?"
shuō dào zhè lǐ 。 sān rén yì qǐ dà xiào qǐ lái le 。
说到这里。三人一起大笑起来了。
The silver-eyed girl paused as the youth looked up. They were genuinely concerned about this question.
yín tóng shào nǚ yǔ lóng xìng shào nián bìng méi yǒu zhuī wèn zhè gōng fǎ de lái lì ， liǎng rén bú huì rú cǐ bù shí qù ， guǎn tā gōng fǎ lái zì nǎ lǐ 。 hǎo chù dōu shì shí shí zài zài dì ， zhè ge wèn tí ， yòu bú huì yǐng xiǎng dào xiū xí 。
银瞳少女与龙姓少年并没有追问这功法的来历，两人不会如此不识趣，管他功法来自哪里。好处都是实实在在地，这个问题，又不会影响到修习。
Lin Xian's situation was unique; he far outperformed his peers in many ways. With his talent, he should aim for true Transcending Tribulation. The minor stage wasn't worth much to him.
“ duì le ， lín shī dì ， nǐ yīng gāi bú huì dǎ suàn liàn zhè gōng fǎ ba ？”
“对了，林师弟，你应该不会打算炼这功法吧？”
As they say, "greedy for more after getting what you want." Even though the Cloud Concealment Sect ranked 12th among the Golden World's major sects, it was still far from the top ten.
yín tóng shào nǚ shuō dào cǐ chù ， lóng xìng shào nián yě tái qǐ tóu lú ， tā men liǎ duì zhè ge wèn tí hái shì hěn guān xīn de 。
银瞳少女说到此处，龙姓少年也抬起头颅，他们俩对这个问题还是很关心的。
The top ten sects each had true Transcending Tribulation experts. For his own sect to advance further, both he and his senior sister reaching minor Transcending Tribulation wouldn't be enough.
bì jìng lín xuān de qíng kuàng yòu zì bù tóng ， chù chù yuǎn shèng tóng jiē xiū shì xǔ duō ， yǐ tā de zī zhì 。 yīng gāi shì zhuī qiú zhēn zhèng de dù jié qī méi cuò ， xiǎo dù jié qī ， duì tā lái shuō 。 yǒu xiē jī lèi le 。
毕竟林轩的情况又自不同，处处远胜同阶修士许多，以他的资质。应该是追求真正的渡劫期没错，小渡劫期，对他来说。有些鸡肋了。
Lin Xian was the backbone of the sect; for Cloud Concealment to become one of the top ten, Lin Xian would have to enter Transcending Tribulation one day.
sú huà shuō dé lǒng wàng shǔ 。 rú jīn yún yǐn zōng yǐ shì nài lóng jiè pái míng dì shí èr de páng rán dà wù ， rán ér jù lí shí dà zōng mén 。 yī jiù shì yǒu jù lí de 。
俗话说得陇望蜀。如今云隐宗已是鼐龙界排名第十二的庞然大物，然而距离十大宗门。依旧是有距离的。
They had long been optimistic about this. But now that he had produced a minor Transcending Tribulation cultivation technique, they couldn't help but worry. Would he try another path and enter the minor stage?
yào zhī dào pái míng qián shí de zōng mén jiā zú ， měi yí gè ， dōu shì yōng yǒu zhēn zhèng dù jié jìng jiè de lǎo guài wù ， běn mén de pái míng ruò xiǎng yào zài jìn yí bù ， guāng kào zì jǐ yǔ shī jiě jìn jiē dào xiǎo dù jié qī yě shì bù gòu de 。
要知道排名前十的宗门家族，每一个，都是拥有真正渡劫境界的老怪物，本门的排名若想要再进一步，光靠自己与师姐进阶到小渡劫期也是不够的。
Fortunately, such concerns were unnecessary. How could Lin Xian lack ambition?
lín shī dì cái shì zhōng liú dǐ zhù ， xiǎng yào yún yǐn zōng chéng wéi shí dà zōng mén zhī yī ， chú fēi lín shī dì yǒu cháo yī rì， jìn rù dù jié qī 。
林师弟才是中流砥柱，想要云隐宗成为十大宗门之一，除非林师弟有朝一rì，进入渡劫期。
"Haha, I naturally won't cultivate this technique. I have some confidence in entering Transcending Tribulation."
yuán běn tā men duì zhè yì diǎn shì pǒ wèi kàn hǎo dì ， kě lín shī dì què ná chū zhè me yī “ xiǎo dù jié qī ” de xiū liàn zhī fǎ lái le ， liǎng rén zài xīn xǐ gāo xìng zhī yú ， yě bù yóu de yǒu yì diǎn yōu lǜ ， lín shī dì gāi bú huì yě zhǔn bèi lìng pì xī jìng ， jìn rù zhè xiǎo dù jié qī 。
原本他们对这一点是颇为看好地，可林师弟却拿出这么一“小渡劫期”的修炼之法来了，两人在欣喜高兴之余，也不由得有一点忧虑，林师弟该不会也准备另辟蹊径，进入这小渡劫期。
Lin Xian smiled.
hǎo zài cǐ dān xīn chún shǔ duō yú ， lín xuān yòu zěn me huì zhè yàng méi yǒu zhì qì 。
好在此担心纯属多余，林轩又怎么会这样没有志气。
If someone unfamiliar heard these words, they would surely think him boasting. But to the silver-eyed girl and youth, he had relieved their worries. After years of being apprentices together, they knew his capabilities well; he wouldn't exaggerate.
“ hē hē ， xiǎo dì zì rán shì bù dǎ suàn xiū liàn cǐ gōng fǎ de ， duì yú jìn rù dù jié qī ， lín mǒu duō shǎo hái shì yǒu nà me jǐ fēn bǎ wò 。”
“呵呵，小弟自然是不打算修炼此功法的，对于进入渡劫期，林某多少还是有那么几分把握。”
They were overjoyed.
lín xuān wēi xiào zhe shuō 。
林轩微笑着说。
If both of them advanced to minor Transcending Tribulation and Lin Xian succeeded, entering the top ten would be a certainty. Even the top five was possible.
zhè fān huà ruò shì luò rù bù xiāng shú de rén ěr lǐ ， kěn dìng huì yǐ wéi tā shì hú chuī dà qì 。
这番话若是落入不相熟的人耳里，肯定会以为他是胡吹大气。
Their joy was evident.
rán ér lóng xìng shào nián yǔ yín tóng shào nǚ ， què shì sōng le kǒu qì ， zuò le zhè me jiǔ de shī xiōng dì ， duì yú lín xuān zhī néng ， tā men zì rán xīn zhōng yǒu shù ， cóng bù hú yán luàn yǔ ， tā shuō yǒu bǎ wò ， nà jiù shì zhēn yǒu bǎ wò dì 。
然而龙姓少年与银瞳少女，却是松了口气，做了这么久的师兄弟，对于林轩之能，他们自然心中有数，从不胡言乱语，他说有把握，那就是真有把握地。
"Right, this technique, I've given it to you senior brothers and sisters, but don't spread it around," Lin Xian reminded.
liǎng rén zì shì dà xǐ 。
两人自是大喜。
"Haha, junior brother, that's nonsense. Such precious treasures, even if you didn't say anything, we would never share them."
tā men ruò shì jìn jiē dào xiǎo dù jié qī ， lín shī dì yě chéng gōng jìn jí ， nà běn mén jìn rù shí dà zōng mén ， jiù shì bǎn shàng dìng dīng dì ， shèn zhì pái míng qián wǔ ， yě yǒu nà me yī sī kě néng dì 。
他们若是进阶到小渡劫期，林师弟也成功晋级，那本门进入十大宗门，就是板上钉钉地，甚至排名前五，也有那么一丝可能地。
The silver-eyed youth and the youth were unconcerned. The silver-eyed girl nodded in agreement; this was only right. After a moment’s thought, she added: "If Lin junior brother agrees, I have another suggestion."
liǎng rén zěn me néng bù huān xǐ 。
两人怎么能不欢喜。
"Senior sister, please speak your mind."
“ duì le ， cǐ gōng fǎ ， lín mǒu suī rán jiāo gěi le shī xiōng shī jiě ， dàn liǎng wèi yě bù kě wài zhuàn chū qù 。” lín xuān xiàng shì tū rán xiǎng qǐ ， yòu rú cǐ zhè bān de tí xǐng le yī jù 。
“对了，此功法，林某虽然交给了师兄师姐，但两位也不可外传出去。”林轩像是突然想起，又如此这般的提醒了一句。
"This minor Transcending Tribulation technique is invaluable. We won't share it with others, but for the sect's disciples..."
“ hē hē ， shī dì zhè shì shuō nǎ lǐ huà ， rú cǐ zhēn guì de bǎo wù ， jiù suàn shī dì nǐ bù shuō ， wǒ yǔ shī jiě ， yě wàn wàn méi yǒu wài zhuàn de dào lǐ 。”
“呵呵，师弟这是说哪里话，如此珍贵的宝物，就算师弟你不说，我与师姐，也万万没有外传的道理。”
"The sect's disciples are fine; we can use this as a treasure of our sect. If there are junior disciples who reach Spirit Refinement and later stages, and if their character is reliable and loyal to the sect, we could pass it down."
lóng xìng shào nián bù yǐ wéi yì ， yín tóng shào nǚ yě diǎn tóu é xǔ ， cǐ shì běn gāi rú cǐ ， tā lüè yī sī suǒ ， yòu zài hòu miàn jiā le yī jù ：“ ruò shì lín shī dì yuàn yì ， yú jiě hái yǒu yí gè jiàn yì 。”
龙姓少年不以为意，银瞳少女也点头额许，此事本该如此，她略一思索，又在后面加了一句：“若是林师弟愿意，愚姐还有一个建议。”
"Haha, I agree with you. On behalf of Cloud Concealment Sect’s disciples, I thank junior brother for your generosity."
“ shī jiě hé bì nà me kè qì ， qǐng shuō jiù shì 。”
“师姐何必那么客气，请说就是。”
The silver-eyed girl and youth bowed to Lin Xian together.
“ zhè xiǎo dù jié qī de gōng fǎ bǎo guì yǐ jí ， wǒ yǔ lóng shī dì ， zì rán shì bú huì wài zhuàn dì ， dàn ruò shì běn mén dì zǐ ……”
“这小渡劫期的功法宝贵以极，我与龙师弟，自然是不会外传地，但若是本门弟子……”
His agreement would greatly benefit the sect; it could ensure its prosperity indefinitely. Minor Transcending Tribulation had true Transcending Tribulation power, far beyond ordinary Spirit Refinement cultivators.
“ běn mén dì zǐ méi yǒu guān xì ， kě yǐ jiāng cǐ wù ， zuò wèi běn mén de zhèn pài bǎo wù ， ruò shì yǒu hòu bèi dì zǐ ， yě jìn jiē dào fēn shén ， qiě xiū liàn dào hòu qī ， qiě rén pǐn kě kào ， duì běn mén de zhōng chéng yě méi yǒu wèn tí ， dǎo shì kě yǐ chuán gěi tā dì 。”
“本门弟子没有关系，可以将此物，做为本门的镇派宝物，若是有后辈弟子，也进阶到分神，且修炼到后期，且人品可靠，对本门的忠诚也没有问题，倒是可以传给他地。”
With this matter settled, Lin Xian continued chatting with his senior brothers and sisters about other matters.
“ hē hē ， yú jiě yě shì zhè me xiǎng dì ， nà wǒ jiù zài zhè ér ， dài yún yǐn zōng dì zǐ ， xiè xiè shī dì de dà dù 。”
“呵呵，愚姐也是这么想地，那我就在这儿，代云隐宗弟子，谢谢师弟的大度。”
"By the way, how should we handle the Heavenly Extinction Sect?"
yín tóng shào nǚ liǎn shàng mǎn shì xīn xǐ ， lóng xìng shào nián yě chà bu duō ， liǎng rén yì qǐ ， xiàng lín xuān bài le xià qù 。
银瞳少女脸上满是欣喜，龙姓少年也差不多，两人一起，像林轩拜了下去。
"The Heavenly Extinction Sect?"
tā tóng yì zhè me zuò ， duì yún yǐn zōng de hǎo chù ， nà kě jiù shēn yuǎn le ， shèn zhì kě yǐ shuō ， néng gòu bǎo zhèng běn mén yì zhí xīng shèng xià qù 。
他同意这么做，对云隐宗的好处，那可就深远了，甚至可以说，能够保证本门一直兴盛下去。
Lin Xian was momentarily stunned before realizing. Over two thousand years, all of their disciples had labored to find treasures for the Nine Palaces Momentary Sword.
bì jìng xiǎo dù jié qī ， yǒu zhēn zhèng dù jié sān fēn zhī yī de shí lì ， yuǎn fēi yì bān de fēn shén xiū shì kě bǐ 。
毕竟小渡劫期，有真正渡劫三分之一的实力，远非一般的分神修士可比。
Though they made some gains, it wasn't enough; in fact, there were significant gaps.
cǐ shì zhì cǐ ， suàn shì gào yí duàn luò ， suí hòu lín xuān yǔ shī xiōng shī jiě ， yòu liáo qǐ le yī xiē bié de 。
此事至此，算是告一段落，随后林轩与师兄师姐，又聊起了一些别的。
According to New Moon City’s rules, as the victor, Lin Xian had the right to dispose of them. Even if he wanted to erase the Heavenly Extinction Sect from the Golden World, New Moon City would comply.
“ duì le ， lín shī dì ， tiān jué mén nà biān ， nǐ kàn zěn me chǔ zhì ？”
“对了，林师弟，天绝门那边，你看怎么处置？”
This was true, but now, they didn’t need New Moon City's intervention. The strength ratio between Cloud Concealment and the Heavenly Extinction Sect had changed dramatically over millennia.
“ tiān jué mén ？”
“天绝门？”
Cloud Concealment used to rank around 300 on the Waking Wisdom Palace’s list; with Lin Xian’s help, it was now the 12th major sect, its power having increased exponentially. Even their senior elders couldn’t explain how much.
lín xuān xiān shì yī dāi ， suí hòu jiù fǎn yìng guò lái ， zhè liǎng qiān duō nián ， tiān jué mén suǒ yǒu dì zǐ ， lì jīng xīn kǔ ， sì chù wèi tā xún zhǎo liàn zhì jiǔ gōng xū yú jiàn de bǎo wù 。
林轩先是一呆，随后就反应过来，这两千多年，天绝门所有弟子，历经辛苦，四处为他寻找炼制九宫须臾剑的宝物。
In contrast, the Heavenly Extinction Sect had neglected cultivation and treasure gathering for him over these millennia. Their strength had significantly declined.
suī rán yě yǒu bù shǎo zhǎn huò ， kě xī zuì hòu ， yī jiù shì méi néng còu qí 。
虽然也有不少斩获，可惜最后，依旧是没能凑齐。
Postscript: As Cloud Concealment grew stronger, would Hundred Refinements gain more monthly votes? The deadline was approaching, competition intensifying. Fant Rain needed support from fellow daoists.
shèn zhì kě yǐ shuō chà le bù shǎo 。
甚至可以说差了不少。
Please vote for monthly tickets!
Lin Xian's junior brother produced such a remarkable treasure. The silver-eyed youth was also greatly shocked.
His strength fell short of the silver-eyed girl, but he was now at the middle-stage of Spirit Refinement. Although there were still many steps to reach the bottleneck of Transcending Tribulation, how could he not have heard about its difficulty?
The insights of past patriarchs, their cultivation experiences, and ancient texts all described this bottleneck. While everyone's situation differed, the difficulty was roughly similar.
