wéi yī kě lǜ de biàn shì ， ruò bù néng zài bǎi nián nèi jìn jí ， huò dé pò suì xū kōng de néng lì ， biàn huì yǒng yuǎn bèi liú zài zhè lǐ ， zài yě chū bù qù 。
唯一可虑的便是，若不能在百年内晋级，获得破碎虚空的能力，便会永远被留在这里，再也出不去。
The only concern was whether he could advance within a hundred years and gain the ability to shatter the void. If not, he would be forever trapped here.
zhè yì diǎn ， què shí ràng lín xuān xīn zhōng tǎn tè ， kě zhuǎn niàn yī xiǎng ， xiū xiān xiū xiān ， zuò shén me shì qíng ， yòu néng guāng dé hǎo chù ， bù mào yì diǎn fēng xiǎn ？
这一点，确实让林轩心中忐忑，可转念一想，修仙修仙，做什么事情，又能光得好处，不冒一点风险？
Indeed, this made Lin Xuan uneasy. But then he thought: why should one expect benefits without taking any risks in cultivation?
sú huà shuō ， fú xī huò suǒ yī ， huò xī fú suǒ fú ， fù guì xiǎn zhōng qiú dà lüè yě jiù shì zhè ge dào lǐ le 。
俗话说，福兮祸所依，祸兮福所伏，富贵险中求大略也就是这个道理了。
As they say, misfortune may bring good fortune; opportunities often come with dangers. The saying "great endeavors require great risks" was apt.
yì bǎi nián ， shí jiān shì shāo wēi cāng cù le yì diǎn ， dàn duì zì jǐ lái shuō ， yě bú shì méi yǒu jī lǜ tū pò ， bì jìng zài cǐ zhī qián ， tā de zhǔn bèi yǐ shì fēi cháng chōng fèn le 。
一百年，时间是稍微仓促了一点，但对自己来说，也不是没有几率突破，毕竟在此之前，他的准备已是非常充分了。
A hundred years was a bit rushed, but for him, there was still a chance to breakthrough. After all, his preparations had been thorough before this point.
bà ， zì jǐ jiù dǔ yī dǔ ， ruò zhēn néng zài bǎi nián nèi chéng gōng jìn jí ， zì jǐ huò dé de hǎo chù ， jiāng nán yǐ yán yù 。
罢，自己就赌一赌，若真能在百年内成功晋级，自己获得的好处，将难以言喻。
In any case, he would take the risk and bet on himself. If he could truly advance within a hundred years, the benefits would be beyond measure.
lín xuān xuǎn zé xiāng xìn zì jǐ ！
林轩选择相信自己！
Lin Xuan chose to believe in himself!
hé kuàng tuì yī wàn bù shuō ， ruò yì bǎi nián hòu bù néng chéng gōng jìn jí ， shì fǒu yī bèi zi jiù zhēn huì bèi kùn zài zhè lǐ ？
何况退一万步说，若一百年后不能成功晋级，是否一辈子就真会被困在这里？
Moreover, even if he failed to advance after a hundred years, would he really be trapped here for life?
wài miàn de chuán yán shì rú cǐ 。
外面的传言是如此。
Such rumors existed outside.
dàn chuán yán zhè zhǒng dōng xī ， yuán běn jiù shì wèi bì kě xìn dì 。
但传言这种东西，原本就是未必可信地。
But rumors were not always reliable.
yě xǔ yì bǎi nián hòu ， dù jié chū qī de cún zài shì chū bù lái ， dàn jiǎ rú shì zhōng qī ， hòu qī de cún zài ？
也许一百年后，渡劫初期的存在是出不来，但假如是中期，后期的存在？
Perhaps初级 cultivators at the early stage of tribulation might fail to leave. But what about those at mid-stage or late-stage?
lín xuān bù xiāng xìn ， xiǎo xiǎo yí gè líng bō gǔ ， néng gòu kùn zhù nà ge jìng jiè de lǎo guài wù 。
林轩不相信，小小一个灵波谷，能够困住那个境界的老怪物。
Lin Xuan did not believe that a small Spirit Wave Valley could trap such an old monster from the core realm.
hé kuàng nǎ pà tóng shì dù jié chū qī de xiū xiān zhě ， shí lì yě shì dà xiāng jìng tíng de ， pǔ tōng de chū qī xiū shì chū bù lái ， zì jǐ què wèi bì huì bèi kùn zhù lǐ miàn 。
何况哪怕同是渡劫初期的修仙者，实力也是大相径庭的，普通的初期修士出不来，自己却未必会被困住里面。
After all, even among those at the same early stage of tribulation, their strength varied greatly. Ordinary cultivators might struggle, but he was not necessarily trapped.
zǒng zhī quán héng lì bì ， lín xuān jué de xuǎn zé zài líng bō gǔ nèi jìn jí ， nà shì xiāng dāng de kào pǔ míng zhì 。
总之权衡利弊，林轩觉得选择在灵波谷内晋级，那是相当的靠谱明智。
In any case, weighing the pros and cons, Lin Xuan felt that advancing within the Spirit Wave Valley was a wise choice.
zhǔ yì yǐ dǎ hǎo le ， dàn què bù bì mǎ shàng qù zuò 。
主意已打好了，但却不必马上去做。
Though his mind was made up, there was no need to act immediately.
bì jìng cǐ shí de líng bō gǔ ， jìn lái de xiū xiān zhě kě bìng fēi zhǐ yǒu zì jǐ yí gè 。
毕竟此时的灵波谷，进来的修仙者可并非只有自己一个。
After all, other cultivators had also entered the Spirit Wave Valley. Although Lin Xuan did not care much about those at the division spirit stage, they could still cause trouble during critical moments.
suī rán qū qū fēn shén qī xiū xiān zhě ， lín xuān zǎo yǐ bù fàng zài yǎn lǐ ， dàn ruò shì zài jìn jí de guān jiàn shí kè chū lái zhǎo zì jǐ de má fán ， nà hái shì xiāng dāng wēi xiǎn 。
虽然区区分神期修仙者，林轩早已不放在眼里，但若是在晋级的关键时刻出来找自己的麻烦，那还是相当危险。
Fortunately, they would only stay here for a hundred days.
hǎo zài tā men zhǐ huì zài zhè lǐ dòu liú yì bǎi tiān 。
好在他们只会在这里逗留一百天。
This time frame was trivial for Lin Xuan, so he could wait until they left to search for precious land and break through.
zhè diǎn shí jiān ， duì yú lín xuān lái shuō ， zì rán bù zhí yī tí ， dà kě yǐ děng tā men lí qù yǐ hòu ， zài màn màn xuǎn zé líng dì ， tū pò jìn jí 。
这点时间，对于林轩来说，自然不值一提，大可以等他们离去以后，再慢慢选择灵地，突破晋级。
Haste makes waste. Although the time was pressing now, a hundred days were not too long to wait.
xīn jí chī bù liǎo rè dòu fǔ ， xiàn zài suī rán shí jiān jǐn pò 。 dàn qū qū yì bǎi tiān ， hái shì děng dé qǐ 。
心急吃不了热豆腐，现在虽然时间紧迫。但区区一百天，还是等得起。
Moreover, Lin Xuan was curious about what kind of bracelet the Green-faced Venerable had them seek. After all, an old monster from the tribulation stage would not be interested in something trivial.
hé kuàng lín xuān xīn zhōng yě hěn hào qí ， qīng yán zūn zhě ràng tā men xún zhǎo de shǒu zhuó jiū jìng shì yī jiàn shén me dōng xī ？
何况林轩心中也很好奇，青颜尊者让他们寻找的手镯究竟是一件什么东西？
Considering this, Lin Xuan's thoughts became more lively.
yào xiǎo de ， duì fāng kě shì dù jié jí bié de lǎo guài wù ， fèi nà me duō bō zhé ， ràng tā men xún zhǎo de bǎo bèi ， kěn dìng shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。
要晓得，对方可是渡劫级别的老怪物，费那么多波折，让他们寻找的宝贝，肯定是非同小可。
He also overlooked a precious item: the Vermilion Bird Ring had yet to be consecrated and claimed as his own. It was careless of him to neglect it after gaining great benefits from true dragon spirit blood.
zhè jiàn shì ， lín xuān ruò shì bù qīng chǔ 。 nà yě jiù bà ， rán ér jī yuán qiǎo hé ， ràng tā yù shàng ， yòu zěn me kě néng méi yǒu yì diǎn xiǎng fǎ ne ？
这件事，林轩若是不清楚。那也就罢，然而机缘巧合，让他遇上，又怎么可能没有一点想法呢？
But there was no need to rush; he could still consecrate the Vermilion Bird Ring later. This treasure had been obtained through great risk, and its strength remained a mystery. However, he had seen firsthand that it contained the soul essence of a true vermilion bird, perhaps not inferior to先天灵宝.
tiān cái dì bǎo ， néng zhě jū zhī ， ràng dù jié qī lǎo guài wù gǎn xìng qù de dōng xī ， duì zì jǐ ， yě yí dìng shì yǒu dà yòng dì 。
天材地宝，能者居之，让渡劫期老怪物感兴趣的东西，对自己，也一定是有大用地。
This was all speculation until he consecrated the item.
niàn jí zhì cǐ ， lín xuān de xīn sī 。 bù yóu de huó fǎ qǐ lái le 。
念及至此，林轩的心思。不由得活法起来了。
In any case, Lin Xuan was quite eager for this.
tóng shí zì jǐ yě hái yí lòu de yī jiàn bǎo wù ， nà zhū què huán shàng méi yǒu jì liàn rèn zhǔ ， shuō qǐ lái 。 yě shì zì jǐ tài guò shū hū ， yīn wèi jì liàn zhēn lóng líng xuè huò dé le mò dà de hǎo chù ， yī shí xīn xǐ ， què jiāng zhū què huán gěi pāo zhū dào nǎo hòu qù le 。
同时自己也还遗漏的一件宝物，那朱雀环尚没有祭炼认主，说起来。也是自己太过疏忽，因为祭炼真龙灵血获得了莫大的好处，一时欣喜，却将朱雀环给抛诸到脑后去了。
---
bù guò méi guān xì ， zhè jiàn shì qíng dào yě bù yòng tài guò zháo jí ， rú jīn zuì jǐn yào de yī jiù shì tū pò píng jǐng jìn jí ， zhì yú zhū què huán de jì liàn ， shén me shí hòu dōu kě yǐ 。
不过没关系，这件事情倒也不用太过着急，如今最紧要的依旧是突破瓶颈晋级，至于朱雀环的祭炼，什么时候都可以。
For now, Lin Xuan did not plan to advance within the next hundred days. He intended to follow other cultivators and search for treasures during this time, with his primary goal being that mysterious bracelet.
zhè jiàn bǎo wù kě shì hǔ kǒu duó shí ， zì jǐ mào le ruò dà de fēng xiǎn 。 yìng shēng shēng cóng yōu míng àn wáng shǒu zhōng qiǎng de ， jù tǐ yǒu duō qiáng bù hǎo shuō ， dàn zì jǐ kě shì qīn yǎn mù dǔ ， lǐ miàn fēng yìn le yī zhēn líng zhū què de hún pò ， yě xǔ …… bù bǐ xiān tiān líng bǎo xùn sè。
这件宝物可是虎口夺食，自己冒了偌大的风险。硬生生从幽冥暗王手中抢的，具体有多强不好说，但自己可是亲眼目睹，里面封印了一真灵朱雀的魂魄，也许……不比先天灵宝逊sè。
Meanwhile, other division spirit stage cultivators had also entered the Spirit Wave Valley as expected.
dāng rán 。 zhè yī qiè dōu shì tuī cè ， jù tǐ ， hái shì yào děng zì jǐ jiāng cǐ bǎo jì liàn zhī hòu cái xiǎo de 。
当然。这一切都是推测，具体，还是要等自己将此宝祭炼之后才晓得。
As Lin Xuan guessed, everyone was sent to different locations, and their distances varied greatly. This process was random.
zǒng zhī ， lín xuān nèi xīn shēn chù ， hái shì pǒ wéi qī dài de 。
总之，林轩内心深处，还是颇为期待的。
Thus, where they appeared and how good the location was depended entirely on luck.
……
……
And luck was unpredictable, making each person's experience vastly different.
zhè qiě bù tí 。 zhì shǎo wèi lái de yì bǎi tiān ， lín xuān méi yǒu dǎ suàn tū pò jìn jí ， tā dǎ suàn rú tóng lái dào líng bō gǔ de qí tā xiū xiān zhě ， zhè duàn shí jiān ， xiān sì chù xún fǎng bǎo wù ， shǒu yào mù dì ， zì rán shì nà shén mì de shǒu zhuó 。
这且不提。至少未来的一百天，林轩没有打算突破晋级，他打算如同来到灵波谷的其他修仙者，这段时间，先四处寻访宝物，首要目的，自然是那神秘的手镯。
Tian Chenxi was one of those unlucky ones. She was a female cultivator at the division spirit stage, though she looked no older than twenty due to her anti-aging techniques.
yǔ cǐ tóng shí ， qí tā de fēn shén qī xiū shì yě dōu shùn lì jìn rù le líng bō gǔ 。
与此同时，其他的分神期修士也都顺利进入了灵波谷。
Beautiful yet young, she was now extremely frustrated as a swarm of venomous snakes surrounded her.
zhèng rú lín xuān de cāi cè ， měi gè rén bèi chuán sòng dào de dì diǎn dōu gè bù xiāng tóng ， bǐ cǐ de jù lí ， yě shì yǒu yuǎn yǒu jìn ， nán yǐ chuǎi mó ， zhè ge guò chéng ， běn jiù shì suí jī de 。
正如林轩的猜测，每个人被传送到的地点都各不相同，彼此的距离，也是有远有近，难以揣摩，这个过程，本就是随机的。
These snakes were peculiar in appearance—some had two heads, others had wings on their backs. Their strength was not trivial, and there were countless of them, blocking half the sky.
yú shì ， huì chū xiàn zài nǎ lǐ ， chū xiàn de dì fāng hǎo bù hǎo ， wán quán kàn yùn qì 。
于是，会出现在哪里，出现的地方好不好，完全看运气。
"What kind of snake is this?"
ér yùn qì zhè ge dōng xī ， zuì shì shuō bù qīng chǔ ， yú shì ， měi gè rén de jì yù shuō shì tiān rǎng zhī bié ， nà yě bù dài fēn háo kuā zhāng le 。
而运气这个东西，最是说不清楚，于是，每个人的际遇说是天壤之别，那也不带分毫夸张了。
Tian Chenxi muttered to herself, unable to recognize these strange creatures despite her extensive knowledge. However, one thing was certain: they were not friendly.
tián chén xī jiù shì yùn qì bù hǎo de yí gè 。
田晨曦就是运气不好的一个。
The benevolent do not come; those who come are not benevolent. Despite her frustration, Tian Chenxi did not fear.
tīng míng zì zhī dào zhè shì yī fēn shén qī de nǚ xiū ， dāng rán ， yě shì huó le shù wàn nián zhī jiǔ ， dàn yóu yú zhù yán yǒu shù ， kàn shàng qù yī jiù bù guò shì èr shí xǔ rén ér yǐ 。
听名字知道这是一分神期的女修，当然，也是活了数万年之久，但由于驻颜有数，看上去依旧不过是二十许人而已。
She flicked her jade hand, and a colorful cloth appeared.
bù jǐn nián qīng ， ér qiě měi lì ， rán ér cǐ kè ， tā xiù měi de róng yán ， què shì yù mèn yǐ jí 。
不仅年轻，而且美丽，然而此刻，她秀美的容颜，却是郁闷以极。
A faint light shone forth, indicating it was an extraordinary treasure.
wēng wēng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， tā jū rán bèi yī qún dú shé gěi bāo wéi le 。
嗡嗡的声音传入耳朵，此时此刻，他居然被一群毒蛇给包围了。
"Quickly!"
zhè xiē dú shé xíng mào qí tè ， yǒu de zhǎng zhe liǎng gè tóu lú ， yǒu de bèi shēng shuāng yì ， shí lì jiē shì bù sú ， shù liàng gèng shì zhòng duō 。
这些毒蛇形貌奇特，有的长着两个头颅，有的背生双翼，实力皆是不俗，数量更是众多。
With a finger raised, she commanded the cloth to transform into a cloud that shielded her. Then, a series of light rings emerged from its surface, melting away the snakes as if spring snow had melted.
fàng yǎn wàng qù ， zhē dǎng le bàn biān tiān jì ， cū lüè yī gū ， kǒng pà yǒu shù wàn tiáo de 。
放眼望去，遮挡了半边天际，粗略一估，恐怕有数万条的。
At the division spirit stage, one's strength paled in comparison to old monsters at the tribulation stage. However, for cultivators, reaching this level was no small feat.
“ zhè shì shén me shé ？”
“这是什么蛇？”
Tian Chenxi could handle these creatures and they posed little threat.
tián chén xī nán nán zì yǔ ， yǐ tā jiàn shí guǎng bó ， yě shì fēn háo de rèn bù chū ， bù guò yǒu yì diǎn shì kěn dìng de ， zhè xiē guǐ yì de mó shé ， jué bú shì hǎo xiāng yǔ de 。
田晨曦喃喃自语，以她见识广博，也是分毫的认不出，不过有一点是肯定的，这些诡异的魔蛇，绝不是好相与的。
However, encountering such monsters upon entering the valley was not a pleasant experience.
shàn zhě bù lái ， lái zhě bù shàn ， tián chén xī xīn zhōng suī yù mèn yǐ jí ， dàn què yě bìng bù wèi jù 。
善者不来，来者不善，田晨曦心中虽郁闷以极，但却也并不畏惧。
But what could she do? Her luck had been bad.
yù shǒu yī fú ， yī fāng cǎi pà fú xiàn ér chū 。
玉手一拂，一方彩帕浮现而出。
"Where am I..."
líng guāng sì shè， xiǎn rán yě shì yī bù fán de bǎo wù 。
灵光四shè，显然也是一不凡的宝物。
Xiao Er looked at the icy pond before him with a puzzled expression. He appeared in a small ancient site surrounded by steep mountains that were no more than a hundred feet high, covered in snow and ice. Beside him was an icy pond.
“ jí ！”
“疾！”
This environment seemed peculiar. Could there be any treasures here?
cǐ nǚ yù shǒu tái qǐ ， yī zhǐ xiàng qián diǎn qù ， zhǐ jiàn líng guāng yī shǎn ， nà jǐn pà jìng huà wèi yī duǒ cǎi yún jiāng tā hù zài qí jiān 。
此女玉手抬起，一指向前点去，只见灵光一闪，那锦帕竟化为一朵彩云将她护在其间。
Xiao Er pondered this as he scanned the surroundings but found nothing remarkable. However, he did not lose heart and quickly focused on the icy pond.
suí hòu ， yī dào dào guāng yùn yóu qí biǎo miàn fú xiàn ér chū ， nà xiē mó shé bèi sǎo guò ， jū rán rú tóng chūn xuě xiāo róng ， yī tiáo tiáo quán dōu róng huà diào le 。
随后，一道道光晕尤其表面浮现而出，那些魔蛇被扫过，居然如同chūn雪消融，一条条全都融化掉了。
The water was clear, with a faint cold mist emanating from it. If ordinary people approached, they would instantly freeze into ice sculptures.
fēn shén qī ， zài dù jié jí bié de lǎo guài miàn qián ， méi yǒu shén me liǎo bù qǐ ， rán ér zuò wéi xiū xiān de dào shǔ dì èr gè jìng jiè ， néng gòu dá dào zhè ge céng cì de xiū xiān zhě ， shí lì qí shí yě shì xiāng dāng bù sú 。
分神期，在渡劫级别的老怪面前，没有什么了不起，然而作为修仙的倒数第二个境界，能够达到这个层次的修仙者，实力其实也是相当不俗。
But for division spirit cultivators, this was no issue. Xiao Er moved past it without hesitation.
The only concern was whether he could advance within a hundred years and gain the ability to shatter the void. If not, he would be forever trapped here.
Indeed, this made Lin Xuan uneasy. But then he thought: why should one expect benefits without taking any risks in cultivation?
