第两千九百九十四章 真正的渡劫期

xiān dào jiān sè ， piāo miǎo xū wú ， rán ér duì yú zhēn xiān zhī shuō ， fàng yǎn sān jiè ， jué dà bù fèn xiū xiān zhě dōu shì xìn zhī bù yí de 。

仙道坚涩，飘渺虚无，然而对于真仙之说，放眼三界，绝大部分修仙者都是信之不疑的。

The path of cultivation was elusive and intangible, yet the majority of cultivators in the Three Realms believed without doubt in the existence of true immortals.

tā men xiāng xìn zài sān dà jiè miàn zhī shàng ， hái yǒu gèng wéi gāo wèi de jiè miàn ， nà lǐ jū zhù zhe chuán shuō zhōng de zhēn xiān 。

他们相信在三大界面之上，还有更为高位的界面，那里居住着传说中的真仙。

Above the three realms lay even higher ones, where legends spoke of true immortals dwelling.

hé wèi zhēn xiān ？

何为真仙？

What exactly were true immortals?

jǔ shǒu tóu zú ， néng lìng tiān fān dì fù ， tā men yōng yǒu wú jìn de shòu yuán ， tā men shì hóng méng yǔ zhòu zhōng zuì wèi qiáng dà de cún zài 。

举手投足，能令天翻地覆，他们拥有无尽的寿元，他们是鸿蒙宇宙中最为强大的存在。

A mere gesture could cause heaven to overturn and earth to shake; they possessed endless lifespans and were among the most powerful beings in the primordial universe.

céng jīng lín xuān duì yú zhēn xiān zhī shuō ， yě shì xìn zhī bù yí de ， ruò bú shì duì xiān rén de běn shì xiàn mù dào jí chù ， tā yòu hé bì fèi shàng qiān xīn wàn kǔ ， zǒu shàng zhè jiān nán qū zhé de xiū xiān zhī lù 。

曾经林轩对于真仙之说，也是信之不疑的，若不是对仙人的本事羡慕到极处，他又何必费上千辛万苦，走上这艰难曲折的修仙之路。

Lin Xuan once believed in the existence of true immortals without reservation. If not for his extreme admiration for their abilities, he would not have endured such hardships and embarked on this arduous path of cultivation.

rán ér shì yì shí yí ， tā yǐ jīng mài rù le dù jié qī ， jù lí chuán shuō zhōng de jǔ xiá fēi shēng ， suī rán bù néng shuō zhǐ shèng yī bù ， dàn màn màn xiān tú ， duì tā lái shuō ， zhì shǎo yǐ bù zài shì xū wú piāo miǎo zhī wù ， ér shì kě yǐ wàng qí bèi xiàng le 。

然而事易时移，他已经迈入了渡劫期，距离传说中的举霞飞升，虽然不能说只剩一步，但漫漫仙途，对他来说，至少已不再是虚无缥缈之物，而是可以望其背项了。

However, times had changed. He was now at the Tribulation Transcendence stage, close to achieving the legendary ascension. Although it wasn't just a step away, the vast path of immortality no longer seemed as distant or ethereal; he could see its back now.

kě piān piān zài zhè yī kè ， lín xuān duì shì shàng yǒu méi yǒu zhēn xiān què chǎn shēng le yí huò ， zhè yào shuō chū qù ， fēi jīng shì hài sú ， chéng wéi tiān dà de xiào huà bù kě 。

可偏偏在这一刻，林轩对世上有没有真仙却产生了疑惑，这要说出去，非惊世骇俗，成为天大的笑话不可。

Yet, in this moment, Lin Xuan began to doubt whether true immortals truly existed. If he were to voice his doubts, it would shock the world and become a laughingstock.

rán ér zhēn de shì xiào huà me ？

然而真的是笑话么？

Was it really a joke?

zhēn líng zhī huǒ chuán chéng de jì yì bú huì chū cuò ， hóng huāng shàng gǔ ， cóng wèi yǒu zhēn xiān de yí jì xiǎn lù 。

真灵之火传承的记忆不会出错，洪荒上古，从未有真仙的遗迹显露。

The memory of the True Spirit Fire's legacy was infallible; there had never been any traces of true immortals in ancient times.

kě běi jí yuán guāng diàn yī zhàn ， shì shí yòu bǎi zài yǎn qián ， sān wèi zhēn xiān ， shì què què shí shí jiàng lín le de ， zhè yòu gāi zuò hé jiě shì ne ？

可北极元光殿一战，事实又摆在眼前，三位真仙，是确确实实降临了的，这又该作何解释呢？

But during the battle at the Polar Yuan Guang Hall, facts stood before him: three true immortals indeed descended. How should one explain this?

lín xuān bù xiǎo de ， qián hòu máo dùn de dōng xī wěi shí tài duō 。

林轩不晓得，前后矛盾的东西委实太多。

Lin Xuan didn't know. There were too many contradictions.

yú shì tā yě jiù bù zài duō zuò sī suǒ ， nà gēn běn jiù sī háo yì yì yě wú ， bù kě néng jiāng xīn zhōng de yí huò yǔ mí tí jiē kāi de 。

于是他也就不再多做思索，那根本就丝毫意义也无，不可能将心中的疑惑与谜题揭开的。

Thus, he no longer pondered over it; such thoughts held no meaning and couldn’t unravel his doubts or riddles.

“ hū ！”

“呼！”

"Phew!"

lín xuān xū le kǒu qì ， shēn shēn hū xī ， jiāng xīn zhōng de yí huò ， zàn qiě pāo zhū dào le nǎo hòu qù ， fǎn zhèng zì jǐ yǐ jìn jiē dào dù jié qī ， shí lì jīn fēi xī bǐ ， zì rán yǒu jī huì jiē chù dào xiū xiān jiè gèng duō de yǐn mì ， zàn shí dǎo shì bù yòng tài guò zháo jí 。

林轩吁了口气，深深呼吸，将心中的疑惑，暂且抛诸到了脑后去，反正自己已进阶到渡劫期，实力今非昔比，自然有机会接触到修仙界更多的隐秘，暂时倒是不用太过着急。

Lin Xuan exhaled deeply, taking a deep breath to temporarily set aside his doubts. With him now at the Tribulation Transcendence stage, his strength had grown immensely, giving him more opportunities to uncover hidden secrets in the cultivation world. There was no need for urgency just yet.

xīn jí chī bù liǎo rè dòu fǔ cǐ shì děng cóng líng bō gǔ zhōng chū qù hòu zài shuō lín xuān xiāng xìn mí tí zǒng huì yǒu jiě kāi de yī kè 。

心急吃不了热豆腐此事等从灵波谷中出去后再说林轩相信谜题总会有解开的一刻。

He would address this anxiety later when he left the Lingbo Valley. Lin Xuan believed that one day all riddles would be solved.

nǎo hǎi zhōng niàn tou zhuǎn guò ， lín xuān de biǎo qíng yě jiù suí zhī biàn dé tài rán le 。

脑海中念头转过，林轩的表情也就随之变得泰然了。

His mind at peace, Lin Xuan's expression became calm.

rú jīn tā yǐ shì dù jié qī xiū xiān zhě 。

如今他已是渡劫期修仙者。

Now a Tribulation Transcendence cultivator, he could manipulate heavenly laws and traverse between realms freely. His lifespan had reached millions of years, though not yet immortal, it was close enough. Moreover, his strength far surpassed that of his peers due to the fusion with True Spirit Fire.

néng gòu cāo zòng tiān dì fǎ zé ， néng gòu jiāng xū kōng sī pò zài gè dà jiè miàn zhī jiān zì yóu chuān suō ， shòu yuán gèng shì dá dào le bǎi wàn nián zhī jiǔ ， suī rán hái méi yǒu dào cháng shēng bù sǐ de dì bù ， dàn xiāng qù yě bú shì tài yuǎn le 。

能够cāo纵天地法则，能够将虚空撕破在各大界面之间zì yóu穿梭，寿元更是达到了百万年之久，虽然还没有到长生不死的地步，但相去也不是太远了。

He had inherited knowledge from the Phoenix Clan and transformed into a true spirit body.

hé kuàng zì jǐ de shí lì hái yuǎn chāo tóng jiē ， jī yuán qiǎo hé ， róng hé le zhēn líng zhī huǒ 。

何况自己的实力还远超同阶，机缘巧合，融合了真灵之火。

Lin Xuan wasn't sure how strong he was, but he could certainly hold his own against mid-stage cultivators. In the cultivation world, status correlated with strength; now that he was at the Tribulation Transcendence stage, he had more opportunities to uncover hidden secrets.

bù jǐn chuán chéng le jiǔ tóu niǎo yī mài de jīng yàn yǔ zhī shí ， ròu shēn yě huà wèi le zhēn líng zhī tǐ 。

不仅传承了九头鸟一脉的经验与知识，肉身也化为了真灵之体。

So there was no need for urgency. Lin Xuan believed he would eventually reunite with Moon and solve all riddles one day.

zì jǐ xiàn zài yǒu duō qiáng ， lín xuān dōu bù tài shuō dé qīng chǔ suī rán kěn dìng dǎ bù guò dù jié hòu qī de lǎo guài wù ， dàn ruò jǐn jǐn shì zhōng qī cún zài ， kǒng pà yě yǒu yī zhàn zhī lì le 。

自己现在有多强，林轩都不太说得清楚虽然肯定打不过渡劫后期的老怪物，但若仅仅是中期存在，恐怕也有一战之力了。

For now, he still needed to handle some matters.

ér zài xiū xiān jiè ， dì wèi shì yǔ shí lì chéng zhèng bǐ ， zì jǐ jìn jiē dào dù jié qī ， zì rán yě jiù yǒu jī huì jiē chù dào gèng duō de yǐn mì 。

而在修仙界，地位是与实力成正比，自己进阶到渡劫期，自然也就有机会接触到更多的隐秘。

Firstly, he needed to stabilize his realm.

suǒ yǐ xiàn zài bù yòng xīn jí lín xuān xiāng xìn zì jǐ zǒng yǒu yī tiān néng gòu yǔ yuè ér tuán jù ， bìng jiě kāi suǒ yǒu de mí tí 。

所以现在不用心急林轩相信自己总有一天能够与月儿团聚，并解开所有的谜题。

Indeed, he had successfully advanced but hadn't taken the time to solidify his realm since then. With no pressing issues at hand, this was his top priority.

zhì yú xiàn zài ， tā yě hái yǒu yī xiē shì qíng xū yào chǔ lǐ 。

至于现在，他也还有一些事情需要处理。

Stabilizing the root and nurturing the essence was a common practice for cultivators; otherwise, a drop in realm due to unforeseen circumstances wasn't impossible.

shǒu xiān ， biàn shì jiāng jìng jiè wěn gù 。

首先，便是将境界稳固。

Although such occurrences were rare, Lin Xuan's cautious nature ensured he wouldn’t leave any potential hazards behind.

méi cuò ， zì jǐ shì chéng gōng jìn jí ， dàn jiē xià lái jiù róng hé le zhēn líng zhī huǒ ， yì zhí hái méi yǒu shí jiān jiāng jìng jiè wěn gù 。

没错，自己是成功晋级，但接下来就融合了真灵之火，一直还没有时间将境界稳固。

Thus, stabilizing his realm became his immediate concern. This would take some time but was not particularly difficult. He had done this before after each advancement and was quite familiar with the process.

rú jīn jì rán méi yǒu qí tā shì qíng xū yào chǔ lǐ ， xián xiá zhī yú ， zhè zì rán shì shǒu xiān xū yào jiě jué de wèn tí 。

如今既然没有其他事情需要处理，闲暇之余，这自然是首先需要解决的问题。

With no further ado, Lin Xuan returned to his cave. Cultivation knew no time; decades passed in a blink.

yào zhī dào jìn jí zhī hòu gù běn péi yuán nǎi shì xiū xiān zhě de guàn lì ， fǒu zé ， ruò shì yù jiàn shén me biàn gù jìng jiè diào luò yě bú shì bù kě néng de 。

要知道晋级之后固本培元乃是修仙者的惯例，否则，若是遇见什么变故境界掉落也不是不可能的。

One day, thunderous sounds echoed as the long-sealed cave door opened, emitting a dazzling green light that shot out.

suī rán zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng bù duō ， dàn yǐ lín xuān jǐn xiǎo shèn wēi de xìng gé ， shì kěn dìng bú huì liú xià zhè zhǒng yǐn huàn lái de 。

虽然这种情况不多，但以林轩谨小慎微的xìng格，是肯定不会留下这种隐患来的。

The green glow subsided, revealing a plain-looking young man—Lin Xuan himself.

yú shì ， gù běn péi yuán ， jiāng jìng jiè wěn gù ， jiù chéng zi tā dí dàng wù zhī jí 。

于是，固本培元，将境界稳固，就成子他的当务之急。

At first glance, he appeared to be in his twenties. His features were unremarkable, but there was an air of沧桑 (suffering) about him.

hǎo zài zhè suī rán yào huā fèi yī xiē shí jiān ， què shuō bù shàng kùn nán ， yǐ qián jìn jí zhī hòu ， lín xuān yě dū huì nà me zuò ， shuō dé shàng shú mén shú lù 。

好在这虽然要花费一些时间，却说不上困难，以前晋级之后，林轩也都会那么做，说得上熟门熟路。

His eyes were deep and profound, as if they had witnessed countless years.

jiē xià lái bù yòng duō shuō ， lín xuān huí dào le zì jǐ de dòng fǔ ， xiū xiān wú suì yuè ， shù shí zài de guāng yīn yī huǎng ér guò 。

接下来不用多说，林轩回到了自己的洞府，修仙无岁月，数十载的光yīn一晃而过。

However, this feeling lasted only a moment; Lin Xuan blinked, and all the signs vanished. He exuded a subtle aura, making him appear ordinary, just one among many in the crowd.

zhè tiān ， hōng lōng lóng de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， chén fēng le shù shí nián de dòng fǔ dà mén ， zhōng yú dǎ kāi ， yī dào yào mù de qīng guāng ， yóu lǐ miàn fēi shè chū lái 。

这天，轰隆隆的声音传入耳朵，尘封了数十年的洞府大门，终于打开，一道耀目的青光，由里面飞shè出来。

This was the effect of the Black Moon Heaven Witch Technique's return to simplicity. He had nearly mastered it.

suí hòu qīng hóng yī liǎn ， xiǎn chū le yī píng fán shào nián de róng yán ， zhèng shì lín xuān 。

随后青虹一敛，显出了一平凡少年的容颜，正是林轩。

As long as Lin Xuan didn't reveal his identity, who could tell he was a Tribulation Transcendence cultivator?

yī yǎn wàng qù ， bù guò èr shí duō suì nián jì ， wǔ guān róng yán ， yě dōu shì píng fán yǐ jí ， rán ér méi yǔ zhī jiān ， què chōng mǎn le cāng sāng zhī gǎn 。

一眼望去，不过二十多岁年纪，五官容颜，也都是平凡以极，然而眉宇之间，却充满了沧桑之感。

And such discretion benefited him greatly.

tā de yǎn móu ， shēn suì yǐ jí ， fǎng fú jīng lì guò wú shù suì yuè de mó lì 。

他的眼眸，深邃以极，仿佛经历过无数岁月的磨砺。

Decades passed swiftly; today, Lin Xuan finally emerged from seclusion. To be honest, compared to decades ago, he hadn’t gained much in terms of strength; it was merely that his magical power had become more condensed. The realm stabilization went smoothly as well.

rán ér zhè yàng de gǎn jué jǐn jǐn shì yī shùn jiān ， lín xuān zhǎ le zhǎ yǎn ， suǒ yǒu de dōng xī jiù xiāo shī bú jiàn ， qì xī nèi liǎn ， tā zhěng gè rén ， biàn dé fēi cháng de píng fán ， fǎng fú zhǐ shì yún yún zhòng niú zhōng zuì bù qǐ yǎn de yī yuán 。

然而这样的感觉仅仅是一瞬间，林轩眨了眨眼，所有的东西就消失不见，气息内敛，他整个人，变得非常的平凡，仿佛只是芸芸众牛中最不起眼的一员。

Thus, Lin Xuan exited the cave.

zhè shì mò yuè tiān wū jué zhōng fǎn pú guī zhēn de xiào guǒ ， rú jīn tā chà bu duō xiū liàn dào le lú huǒ chún qīng de dì bù 。

这是墨月天巫诀中返璞归真的效果，如今他差不多修炼到了炉火纯青的地步。

Although leaving now wasn't what he wanted, there were still many things to handle. For instance, he needed to refine the Vermilion Bird Ring and deal with the Primordial Yin Essence.

zhǐ yào lín xuān bù yuàn yì jiāng shēn fèn xiǎn lù ， shuí néng kàn dé chū tā shì yī dù jié jí bié de xiū xiān zhě 。

只要林轩不愿意将身份显露，谁能看得出他是一渡劫级别的修仙者。

His strength had grown significantly since acquiring these treasures; it was only fair to extract more Primordial Yin Essence given his current power.

ér néng gòu zhè yàng de dī diào ， duì lín xuān lái shuō ， zì rán yǒu mò dà de hǎo chù 。

而能够这样的低调，对林轩来说，自然有莫大的好处。

With both items refined, his strength would increase substantially. The Lingbo Valley's rich qi and lack of disturbances made it an excellent place for cultivation.

shù shí nián yī huǎng ér guò ， lín xuān jīn tiān zhōng yú pò guān ér chū ， píng xīn lái shuō ， yǔ shù shí nián qián xiāng bǐ ， tā bìng bú jiàn de zēng zhǎng le duō shǎo shí lì ， jǐn jǐn shì fǎ lì biàn dé gèng jiā níng hòu ér yǐ ， dāng rán ， jìng jiè de wěn gù yě shì yī fān shùn lì 。

数十年一晃而过，林轩今天终于破关而出，平心来说，与数十年前相比，他并不见得增长了多少实力，仅仅是法力变得更加凝厚而已，当然，境界的稳固也是一番顺利。

Originally, Lin Xuan planned to continue seclusion here for some time. Unfortunately, he remembered the legends associated with this place.

yú shì lín xuān chū guān le 。

于是林轩出关了。

The Lingbo Valley was originally the abode of the Nine-Headed Bird Clan, a true spirit space belonging to another dimension. After its fall, it became the palace of the Asura King, who far surpassed other powerful beings in the Spirit Realm.

suī rán zhè shí hòu chū lái ， qí shí hái bìng fēi tā suǒ yuàn 。

虽然这时候出来，其实还并非他所愿。

Her palace was guarded by numerous prohibitions and arrays. Even after her demise, many ancient arrays still functioned.

yīn wèi chú le jiāng jìng jiè wěn gù ， xū yào lín xuān chǔ lǐ de shì qíng hái hěn duō ， bǐ rú shuō liàn huà zhū què huán zhè jiàn bǎo wù 。

因为除了将境界稳固，需要林轩处理的事情还很多，比如说炼化朱雀环这件宝物。

This is why only Core Formation and Split Soul cultivators could enter every three thousand years, staying for a hundred days at most.

hái yǒu hùn dùn tài yīn zhī qì ， yě xū yào zì jǐ chǔ lǐ 。

还有混沌太yīn之气，也需要自己处理。

Of course, one could choose to stay longer but would need to advance to the Tribulation Transcendence stage within a century or risk being trapped in the Lingbo Valley forever.
