kàn zhuó yǎn qián de yù hé , lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū mǎn yì zhī sè。
看着眼前的玉盒,林轩脸上露出满意之sè。
Looking at the jade box in front of him, Lin Xuan's face showed satisfaction.
yòu shǒu tái qǐ , qū zhǐ wēi dàn ,“ pā dā ” yī shēng chuán rù ěr biān , yǎn qián chū xiàn le yī lì lóng yǎn dà xiǎo de yào wán 。
右手抬起,屈指微弹,“啪嗒”一声传入耳边,眼前出现了一粒龙眼大小的药丸。
With his right hand raised, he flicked his fingers slightly. A "tap" sound reached his ears as a pill the size of a dragon eye appeared before his eyes.
rú xuě bān bái , guāng zé wēn rùn rú yù , sàn fà chū yī gǔ qìn rén xīn pí de qì xī 。
如雪般白,光泽温润如玉,散发出一股沁人心脾的气息。
Snow-white and lustrous like jade, it exuded an invigorating aura.
huà jié dān !
化劫丹!
Transforming Tribulation Pill!
shuō qǐ lái , zhè yě shì piāo miǎo jiǔ xiān dān zhōng de yī zhǒng , dàn ruò lùn qí zhēn guì chéng dù , biàn shì jiāng qí tā de piāo miǎo jiǔ xiān dān jiā zài yì qǐ , yě yuǎn bù jí zhè yī lì zhēn guì 。
说起来,这也是飘渺九仙丹中的一种,但若论其珍贵程度,便是将其他的飘渺九仙丹加在一起,也远不及这一粒珍贵。
In fact, this was one of the Nine Immortals' Pills from Drifting Cloud Valley, but in terms of its preciousness, even if all the other Nine Immortals' Pills were combined, they would still fall short compared to this single pill.
wú tā , fēn shén qī diān fēng de xiū shì fú xià cǐ wù , zú kě yǐ jiāng jìn jiē dù jié de jī lǜ tí gāo yì chéng hái duō 。
无他,分神期巅峰的修士服下此物,足可以将进阶渡劫的几率提高一成还多。
There was no other reason. A cultivator at the Peak Shen Spirit Stage who swallowed this item could increase their chances of advancing through tribulation by more than ten percent.
lín xuān néng gòu dé dào cǐ wù , yě suàn jī yuán qiǎo hé , rú jīn duān xiáng piàn kè , biàn lǎo shí bú kè qì yáng qǐ tóu lú , jiāng tā gěi tūn fú xià le 。
林轩能够得到此物,也算机缘巧合,如今端详片刻,便老实不客气扬起头颅,将它给吞服下了。
Lin Xuan's ability to obtain such a treasure was indeed due to good fortune. After carefully examining it for a moment, he bravely lifted his head and swallowed it down.
rù kǒu jí huà , suí hòu lín xuān biàn gǎn jué yī gǔ nuǎn liú , liú tǎng jìn dān tián qì hǎi , suí hòu yòu huà zuò sī sī rè lì , dào guàn jìn dào sì zhī bǎi hái 。
入口即化,随后林轩便感觉一股暖流,流淌进丹田气海,随后又化作丝丝热力,倒灌进到四肢百骸。
The pill melted in his mouth as a warm current flowed into his dantian. It then transformed into strands of heat that flooded through his entire body.
lín xuān tǔ chū yī kǒu xiōng zhōng zhuó qì , zhǐ gǎn jué shū shuǎng wú bǐ 。
林轩吐出一口胸中浊气,只感觉舒爽无比。
Lin Xuan exhaled the stale air from his chest, feeling incredibly refreshed.
dàn jǐn jǐn zhè yàng , què hái shì bù zú , lín xuān xiù páo yī fú , zhè cì què shì yī huǒ hóng sè de píng zi suí fēng fēi qǐ lái le 。
但仅仅这样,却还是不足,林轩袖袍一拂,这次却是一火红sè的瓶子随风飞起来了。
But this was still not enough. He flicked his sleeves and a small red bottle flew up with the wind.
xiǎo qiǎo jīng zhì , sàn fà chū yī gǔ yán rè de qì xī 。
小巧jīng致,散发出一股炎热的气息。
Compact and emitting an intense heat, it was Ten Thousand Year Fire Jade.
wàn nián huǒ yù 。
万年火玉。
Of course, this was also its essence. Lin Xuan flicked his fingers again, pouring out another pill the size of a dragon eye from inside.
dāng rán , yě shì qí zhōng de jīng huá , lín xuān tóng yàng shì qū zhǐ wēi dàn , cóng lǐ miàn dào chū yī lì lóng yǎn dà xiǎo de xiān dān 。
当然,也是其中的jīng华,林轩同样是屈指微弹,从里面倒出一粒龙眼大小的仙丹。
The spirit light flowed as if it were extraordinary. The Ninefold Spirit Serpent Pill lived up to its reputation indeed.
zhǐ jiàn líng guāng liú zhuǎn , xiǎn de jí wéi bù fán , jiǔ zhuǎn líng shé dān , guǒ rán míng bù xū chuán 。
只见灵光流转,显得极为不凡,九转灵蛇丹,果然名不虚传。
Compared to the Transforming Tribulation Pill, this Ten Thousand Year Fire Jade Pill was even more precious in terms of its rarity. It was well-known throughout the Three Realms.
zhè lì dān yào ruò lùn zhēn guì chéng dù , yǔ gāng cái de huà jié dān xiāng bǐ , hái yào shèng shàng yī xiē , fàng yǎn sān jiè , nà gèng shì dà dà yǒu míng dì 。
这粒丹药若论珍贵程度,与刚才的化劫丹相比,还要胜上一些,放眼三界,那更是大大有名地。
A cultivator at the Peak Shen Spirit Stage who swallowed it could increase their chances of advancing through tribulation by twenty percent.
fēn shén qī diān fēng de xiū shì fú xià cǐ wù , zú kě yǐ jiāng jìn jiē dù jié de jī lǜ tí gāo liǎng chéng 。/
分神期巅峰的修士服下此物,足可以将进阶渡劫的几率提高两成。/
Unfortunately, there were few such pills due to the scarcity of their ingredients and the fact that only the True Demon Ancestor's Serpent could forge them. Moreover, even with its rare ingredients, the success rate was still low for ordinary cultivators.
kě xī shù liàng xī shǎo , yīn wèi cǐ dān yào chú le zhēn mó shǐ zǔ zhōng de bǎo shé , wú rén néng gòu liàn zhì 。
可惜数量稀少,因为此丹药除了真魔始祖中的宝蛇,无人能够炼制。
To Lin Xuan, who had no connection or friendship with the Serpent, this was a significant risk. The Serpent's power might not match Ice Spirit, but it was still among the True Demon Ancestors and far beyond his current capabilities.
bù jǐn jǐn shì yīn wèi cǐ dān yào de yuán liào zhēn xī , sì hū hái yǔ liàn dān zhě de gōng fǎ dà yǒu guān xì 。
不仅仅是因为此丹药的原料珍稀,似乎还与炼丹者的功法大有关系。
Lin Xuan had gone through great lengths to obtain this Ten Thousand Year Fire Jade Pill, risking much in the process. After swallowing the pill, he continued to take several other medicinal herbs, though their effects were inferior compared to the previous ones, they still provided some benefit.
zǒng zhī biàn shì bǎo shé shèng zǔ , liàn zhì de zhè zhǒng dān yào yě bìng bù duō , měi yī lì , dōu zhēn guì dào jí chù , chú le fēn shén qī xiū shì qū zhī ruò wù , duì yú dù jié qī xiū shì jiāng píng jǐng tū pò 。 nà yě shì dà yǒu yòng tú 。
总之便是宝蛇圣祖,炼制的这种丹药也并不多,每一粒,都珍贵到极处,除了分神期修士趋之若鹜,对于渡劫期修士将瓶颈突破。那也是大有用途。
With a dozen or so spirit pills and magical medicines consumed, Lin Xuan began to refine their power, pushing against the tribulation stage's bottleneck.
yào xiǎo de , lín xuān yǔ bǎo shé , bù jǐn sī háo jiāo qíng yě wú , shèn zhì hái yǒu sù yuàn , hù xiāng kàn duì fāng bù shùn yǎn 。
要晓得,林轩与宝蛇,不仅丝毫交情也无,甚至还有夙愿,互相看对方不顺眼。
...
ér bǎo shé de shí lì suī rán bù jí bīng pò , dàn yě wèi jū zhēn mó shǐ zǔ , jué bú shì rú jīn de lín xuān , néng gòu pǐ dí de 。
而宝蛇的实力虽然不及冰魄,但也位居真魔始祖,绝不是如今的林轩,能够匹敌的。
A few days later, Lin Xuan sighed in relief as he stood up from his meditation spot. From a certain perspective, he was now considered a Tribulation Stage cultivator. However, compared to before, apart from his realm and more condensed spiritual energy, there had been no change in his strength.
wèi le dé dào zhè lì jiǔ zhuǎn líng shé dān 。 lín xuān kě shì fèi jǐn qiān xīn wàn kǔ , mào le ruò dà de fēng xiǎn , dòu zhì dòu lì , hǎo bù róng yì , cái nòng dào shǒu de 。
为了得到这粒九转灵蛇丹。林轩可是费尽千辛万苦,冒了偌大的风险,斗智斗力,好不容易,才弄到手的。
This was due to the tribulation stage itself. It was known that tribulation was the final realm of cultivation, also the most difficult one. To fully break through this bottleneck required three steps.
cǐ shí yě bú kè qì , lín xuān zhāng zuǐ yī xī , nà jiǔ zhuǎn líng shé dān huà wèi yī huǒ hóng de wù qì , bèi tā tūn luò jìn zuǐ lǐ 。
此时也不客气,林轩张嘴一吸,那九转灵蛇丹化为一火红的雾气,被他吞落进嘴里。
Firstly, one needed to overcome the bottleneck between Shen Spirit and Tribulation stages.
suí hòu lín xuān yòu jiē lián tūn le shù zhǒng líng yào , hòu miàn de líng dān lùn xiào guǒ 。 dāng rán yuǎn bù jí qián miàn liǎng zhǒng , dàn zǒng shì liáo shèng yú wú , duō shǎo zǒng yǒu yī xiē zuò yòng de 。
随后林轩又接连吞了数种灵药,后面的灵丹论效果。当然远不及前面两种,但总是聊胜于无,多少总有一些作用的。
The process was arduous; many cultivators failed at this step.
ér chōng jī dù jié qī píng jǐng 。 lín xuān kě bù gǎn yǒu rèn hé mǎ hǔ , nǎ pà yǒu yī sī zhù lì , lín xuān yě jué bú huì fàng guò 。
而冲击渡劫期瓶颈。林轩可不敢有任何马虎,哪怕有一丝助力,林轩也绝不会放过。
With the help of spirit pills and magical medicines, Lin Xuan had a good chance but still expected some twists. However, when he attempted to break through, something unexpected happened.
zài yī lián fú xià shí yú zhǒng líng dān miào yào zhī hòu , lín xuān biàn kāi shǐ liàn huà yào lì , chōng jī qǐ dù jié qī de píng jǐng lái le 。
在一连服下十余种灵丹妙药之后,林轩便开始炼化药力,冲击起渡劫期的瓶颈来了。
The tribulation stage's bottleneck did not present any hindrance, breaking down effortlessly as if it were nothing. This left Lin Xuan speechless for quite some time.
……
……
Unexpectedly, the hardest step turned out to be the easiest.
yī huǎng yǎn , yòu guò qù le shí jǐ tiān 。
一晃眼,又过去了十几天。
Lin Xuan was now at the Tribulation Stage, but his strength had not increased in the slightest; he remained almost the same as before.
“ hū !”
“呼!”
In the cultivation world, this situation was known as a pseudo-Tribulation Stage.
lín xuān sōng le kǒu qì , tū rán cóng dǎ zuò de dì fāng zhàn qǐ 。
林轩松了口气,突然从打坐的地方站起。
There were still two more steps left for him. If he failed, it would be a disaster. But if successful, Lin Xuan's strength would soar, making him a true Tribulation Stage cultivator.
cóng mǒu zhǒng jiǎo dù lái shuō , lín xuān xiàn zài yǐ jīng suàn shì dù jié qī xiū shì le , bù guò yǔ chōng jī píng jǐng qián xiāng bǐ 。 tā chú le jìng jiè bù tóng , fǎ lì gèng wéi níng hòu yī xiē , shí lì méi yǒu rèn hé biàn huà 。
从某种角度来说,林轩现在已经算是渡劫期修士了,不过与冲击瓶颈前相比。他除了境界不同,法力更为凝厚一些,实力没有任何变化。
The next two stages involved Heavenly Tribulation and Heart Demon Tribulation.
zhī suǒ yǐ rú cǐ , yào cóng dù jié zhè ge jìng jiè shuō qǐ 。
之所以如此,要从渡劫这个境界说起。
They were straightforward concepts but not easy to pass through.
zhòng suǒ zhōu zhī , dù jié 。 shì xiū xiān de zuì hòu yí gè jìng jiè , tóng shí , yě zài zuì nán de yí gè , yào xiǎng wán quán de chōng jī píng jǐng chéng gōng , yào fēn sān gè bù zhòu 。
众所周知,渡劫。是修仙的最后一个境界,同时,也在最难的一个,要想完全的冲击瓶颈成功,要分三个步骤。
Firstly, the Heavenly Tribulation was much more powerful than the longevity-extending Essence Tribulation. Its power was directly proportional to the tribulation stage's strength, with luck playing a significant role in whether one could survive it.
shǒu xiān 。 biàn shì jiāng fēn shén yǔ dù jié zhī jiān de zhè ge píng jǐng tū pò 。
首先。便是将分神与渡劫之间的这个瓶颈突破。
Typically, among ten pseudo-Tribulation Stage cultivators, only one or two might manage to pass this stage. Even if they did, there still lay the Heart Demon Tribulation ahead.
zhè ge guò chéng hěn nán , dà bù fèn xiū shì , dōu zhé jǐ zài zhè yī guān 。
这个过程很难,大部分修士,都折戟在这一关。
For ordinary heart demons, it was manageable as most were mentally resilient and could endure with a bit of determination. However,域外天魔 posed a much greater threat. A mere trace of their demonic influence could make one shudder in fear. Only a few might survive out of a hundred, making this stage heavily reliant on luck.
lín xuān dé líng dān miào yào xiāng zhù , suī rán yǒu bǐ jiào dà de bǎ wò , dàn zài tā xiǎng lái , zǒng yě huì yǒu yī xiē qū zhé 。
林轩得灵丹妙药相助,虽然有比较大的把握,但在他想来,总也会有一些曲折。
Regardless, Lin Xuan had successfully broken through the first stage and naturally became a pseudo-Tribulation Stage cultivator.
nǎ zhī dào yī cháng shì chōng jī , què fā shēng le ràng tā wú yǔ de shì 。
哪知道一尝试冲击,却发生了让他无语的事。
This was worth celebrating, but he wondered if his luck would hold for the next two stages.
suǒ wèi de dù jié qī píng jǐng méi yǒu dài gěi tā rèn hé zǔ gé , cuī kū lā xiǔ yì bān jiù bèi tū pò , zhè ràng zhǔn bèi le shù zhǒng hòu shǒu de lín xuān wú yǔ le hǎo jiǔ 。
所谓的渡劫期瓶颈没有带给他任何阻隔,摧枯拉朽一般就被突破,这让准备了数种后手的林轩无语了好久。
With these thoughts in mind, Lin Xuan shook his head. Such anxiety could lead to mistakes; the best approach was to let things take their natural course, as one should adapt to challenges as they come...
méi xiǎng dào zuì nán de yī guān , jū rán guò dé qīng sōng xiě yì 。
没想到最难的一关,居然过得轻松写意。
As he thought this, Lin Xuan remained calm. However, at that moment, he sensed a change in the surrounding spiritual energy.
lín xuān xiàn zài de jìng jiè , yǐ shì dù jié qī 。
林轩现在的境界,已是渡劫期。
Could it be...?
rán ér tā suǒ biàn huà de , yě jǐn jǐn shì jìng jiè ér yǐ , shí lì què méi yǒu yī sī yī háo de zēng zhǎng , jī hū yǔ yǐ qián yī yàng 。
然而他所变化的,也仅仅是境界而已,实力却没有一丝一毫的增长,几乎与以前一样。
Lin Xuan couldn't help but feel astonished. He had never attempted breaking through the tribulation stage before, yet ancient texts and records described what happened after passing the first step—Heavenly Tribulation would descend within one hundred days.
tā xiàn zài de qíng kuàng , zài xiū xiān jiè bèi chēng wéi jiǎ dù jié qī 。
他现在的情况,在修仙界被称为假渡劫期。
The later it came, the better, as this gave cultivators ample time to prepare. Moreover, the later it arrived, the weaker its power was likely to be.
jiē xià lái hái yǒu liǎng guān děng zhe tā tū pò , ruò shì shī bài le , jiāng wàn jié bù fù , ér yí dàn chéng gōng , lín xuān de shí lì jiāng tū fēi měng jìn , chéng wéi zhēn zhèng de dù jié qī xiū xiān zhě 。
接下来还有两关等着他突破,若是失败了,将万劫不复,而一旦成功,林轩的实力将突飞猛进,成为真正的渡劫期修仙者。
For example, if the Heavenly Tribulation appeared on the hundredth day, having a ten percent chance of survival might be too optimistic, but the risk of falling would be negligible. Conversely, appearing within ten days could result in only a few survivors.
zhè liǎng guān yī wèi tiān jié , yī wèi xīn mó zhī jié 。
这两关一为天劫,一为心魔之劫。
Thinking about these descriptions, Lin Xuan's expression was clear—having just passed the first stage and faced Heavenly Tribulation so soon, how powerful would it be?

Looking at the jade box in front of him, Lin Xuan's face showed satisfaction.
With his right hand raised, he flicked his fingers slightly. A "tap" sound reached his ears as a pill the size of a dragon eye appeared before his eyes.
Snow-white and lustrous like jade, it exuded an invigorating aura.
Transforming Tribulation Pill!
In fact, this was one of the Nine Immortals' Pills from Drifting Cloud Valley, but in terms of its preciousness, even if all the other Nine Immortals' Pills were combined, they would still fall short compared to this single pill.
There was no other reason. A cultivator at the Peak Shen Spirit Stage who swallowed this item could increase their chances of advancing through tribulation by more than ten percent.
Lin Xuan's ability to obtain such a treasure was indeed due to good fortune. After carefully examining it for a moment, he bravely lifted his head and swallowed it down.
The pill melted in his mouth as a warm current flowed into his dantian. It then transformed into strands of heat that flooded through his entire body.
"Phew!"
Lin Xuan exhaled the stale air from his chest, feeling incredibly refreshed.
But this was still not enough. He flicked his sleeves and a small red bottle flew up with the wind.
Compact and emitting an intense heat, it was Ten Thousand Year Fire Jade.
Of course, this was also its essence. Lin Xuan flicked his fingers again, pouring out another pill the size of a dragon eye from inside.
The spirit light flowed as if it were extraordinary. The Ninefold Spirit Serpent Pill lived up to its reputation indeed.
Compared to the Transforming Tribulation Pill, this Ten Thousand Year Fire Jade Pill was even more precious in terms of its rarity. It was well-known throughout the Three Realms.

With the help of spirit pills and magical medicines, Lin Xuan had a good chance but still expected some twists. However, when he attempted to break through, something unexpected happened.
The tribulation stage's bottleneck did not present any hindrance, breaking down effortlessly as if it were nothing. This left Lin Xuan speechless for quite some time.
Unexpectedly, the hardest step turned out to be the easiest.
Lin Xuan was now at the Tribulation Stage, but his strength had not increased in the slightest; he remained almost the same as before.
In the cultivation world, this situation was known as a pseudo-Tribulation Stage.
There were still two more steps left for him. If he failed, it would be a disaster. But if successful, Lin Xuan's strength would soar, making him a true Tribulation Stage cultivator.
The next two stages involved Heavenly Tribulation and Heart Demon Tribulation.
They were straightforward concepts but not easy to pass through.
Firstly, the Heavenly Tribulation was much more powerful than the longevity-extending Essence Tribulation. Its power was directly proportional to the tribulation stage's strength, with luck playing a significant role in whether one could survive it.
Typically, among ten pseudo-Tribulation Stage cultivators, only one or two might manage to pass this stage. Even if they did, there still lay the Heart Demon Tribulation ahead.
For ordinary heart demons, it was manageable as most were mentally resilient and could endure with a bit of determination. However,域外天魔 posed a much greater threat. A mere trace of their demonic influence could make one shudder in fear. Only a few might survive out of a hundred, making this stage heavily reliant on luck.
Regardless, Lin Xuan had successfully broken through the first stage and naturally became a pseudo-Tribulation Stage cultivator.
This was worth celebrating, but he wondered if his luck would hold for the next two stages.
With these thoughts in mind, Lin Xuan shook his head. Such anxiety could lead to mistakes; the best approach was to let things take their natural course, as one should adapt to challenges as they come...
As he thought this, Lin Xuan remained calm. However, at that moment, he sensed a change in the surrounding spiritual energy.
Could it be...?
Lin Xuan couldn't help but feel astonished. He had never attempted breaking through the tribulation stage before, yet ancient texts and records described what happened after passing the first step—Heavenly Tribulation would descend within one hundred days.
The later it came, the better, as this gave cultivators ample time to prepare. Moreover, the later it arrived, the weaker its power was likely to be.
For example, if the Heavenly Tribulation appeared on the hundredth day, having a ten percent chance of survival might be too optimistic, but the risk of falling would be negligible. Conversely, appearing within ten days could result in only a few survivors.
Thinking about these descriptions, Lin Xuan's expression was clear—having just passed the first stage and faced Heavenly Tribulation so soon, how powerful would it be?
