bsp; “ zhè yòu hé kǔ ， cǐ shì jī yuán qiǎo hé ， zěn me néng shuō shì tiān wū shén nǚ de zuì guò 。”
bsp; “这又何苦，此事机缘巧合，怎么能说是天巫神女的罪过。”
"Is it really necessary to go through all this trouble? This matter is a result of chance, so how can we blame the Heavenly Witch Goddess for it?"
lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì ， shuō dào dǐ ， hái shì yīn wèi dé dào lán sè xīng hǎi zhī hòu ， tā men méi yǒu bǎo mì ， suǒ yǐ ， cái zhāo lái liǎo wú shù qiáng zhě de jì yú 。
林轩叹了口气，说到底，还是因为得到蓝sè星海之后，他们没有保密，所以，才招来了无数强者的觊觎。
Lin Xuan sighed. In the end, it was because they had not kept their discovery of the Blue Star Sea a secret that attracted countless powerful cultivators.
niàn jí zhì cǐ ， lín xuān xīn zhōng yě qìng xìng yǐ jí ， hái hǎo zì jǐ cōng míng ， lán sè xīng hǎi yì zhí shǒu kǒu rú píng ， fǒu zé ， yǐ mò yuè zú dāng nián de fán róng ， yě bù kān yī jī ， zì jǐ ruò shì bù xiǎo xīn zǒu lòu le mì mì ， kǒng pà zǎo yǐ xiàn rù le wàn jié bù fù de jìng dì
念及至此，林轩心中也庆幸以极，还好自己聪明，蓝sè星海一直守口如瓶，否则，以墨月族当年的繁荣，也不堪一击，自己若是不小心走漏了秘密，恐怕早已陷入了万劫不复的境地
Thinking about this, Lin Xuan felt extremely fortunate. He was glad he was smart enough to keep the Blue Star Sea a secret. If he had accidentally let out any information, he might have already been in an irreparable situation.
“ dào lǐ shén nǚ dà rén xiǎo de ， bù guò yǐ tā de xìng gé ， zì rán bù kě néng zhì shēn shì wài de ， wǒ men quàn yě méi yǒu yòng chǔ 。” xuě líng yōu yōu de shuō 。
“道理神女大人晓得，不过以她的xìng格，自然不可能置身事外的，我们劝也没有用处。”雪灵幽幽的说。
"Although the Heavenly Witch Goddess understands the logic, her nature would not allow her to stay out of it," Snow Spirit said softly.
“ ó ， nà tiān wū shén nǚ yǒu shén me dǎ suàn ne ？” lín xuān què yǒu xiē hào qí le 。
“哦，那天巫神女有什么打算呢？”林轩却有些好奇了。
"Oh? What are the plans of the Heavenly Witch Goddess?" Lin Xuan was curious.
“ shén nǚ dà rén chú le gěi wǒ men zhǐ diǎn ， hái zuò xià yī xiē bù zhì ， jiāng mò yuè zú de bǎo wù ， cáng zài zhè lǐ ， suí hòu ràng wǒ men kān guǎn bǎo wù ， bìng shuō yǐ hòu ruò shì yǒu dù jié jí bié de xiū xiān zhě ， qiě xiū liàn de yòu shì mò yuè tiān wū jué de cún zài lái dào cǐ chù ， jiù suàn shì wǒ men mò yuè zú de chuán chéng zhě ， ràng wǒ men hǎo hǎo fǔ zuǒ ， yě xǔ běn zú hái yǒu dōng shān zài qǐ de jī huì de 。”
“神女大人除了给我们指点，还做下一些布置，将墨月族的宝物，藏在这里，随后让我们看管宝物，并说以后若是有渡劫级别的修仙者，且修炼的又是墨月天巫诀的存在来到此处，就算是我们墨月族的传承者，让我们好好辅佐，也许本族还有东山再起的机会的。”
"The Heavenly Witch Goddess gave us guidance and set up some arrangements. She hid the treasures of the Moon Shadow Clan here and instructed us to guard them. She also said that if any cultivators at the Tribulation Transcending stage, who practice the Moon Shadow Heavenly Witch Technique, come here in the future, they would be considered successors of our clan. We should assist them well, as there might still be a chance for our clan to rise again."
lín xuān zǒng suàn míng bái ， xuě líng wèi shén me chēng hū zì jǐ shǎo zhǔ ， qiě gōng jìng dào rú cǐ dì bù ， jiāng suǒ yǒu mì mì ， rú zhú tǒng dǎo dòu zi yì bān ， háo wú bǎo liú de gào sù zì jǐ ， yuán lái zhè zhōng jiān hái yǒu rú cǐ qū zhé 。
林轩总算明白，雪灵为什么称呼自己少主，且恭敬到如此地步，将所有秘密，如竹筒倒豆子一般，毫无保留的告诉自己，原来这中间还有如此曲折。
Lin Xuan finally understood why Snow Spirit called him Young Master and showed such respect. She had told him all these secrets without reservation, revealing the twists in her plan.
kàn lái duì fāng shì zhēn jiāng zì jǐ dàng zuò zì jǐ rén le
看来对方是真将自己当做自己人了
It seemed that she truly considered him one of her own.
lín xuān xīn zhōng liú tǎng guò yī sī nuǎn yì ， ér tā duì mò yuè zú yuán běn jiù yǒu hǎo gǎn ， ruò zhēn shì lì suǒ néng jí ， lín xuān dào bù jiè yì tì gāi zú chū yī fèn lì ， kě rú jīn shù bǎi wàn nián guò qù ， mò yuè zú bié shuō dōng shān zài qǐ ， chà bu duō yǐ zài líng jiè xiāo shī le zōng jì 。
林轩心中流淌过一丝暖意，而他对墨月族原本就有好感，若真是力所能及，林轩倒不介意替该族出一份力，可如今数百万年过去，墨月族别说东山再起，差不多已在灵界消失了踪迹。
A warm feeling washed over Lin Xuan's heart. He already had a favorable impression of the Moon Shadow Clan. If it was within his power, he wouldn't mind helping them. However, after millions of years, the Moon Shadow Clan not only failed to rise again but almost vanished from the Spiritual Realm.
tiān wū shén nǚ suī dào fǎ tōng xuán ， dàn yě méi yǒu yù cè wèi lái de néng lì ， zhè yì diǎn ， kǒng pà yě shì tā zuò mèng dōu bù céng liào xiǎng dào dì 。
天巫神女虽道法通玄，但也没有预测未来的能力，这一点，恐怕也是她做梦都不曾料想到地。
Although the Heavenly Witch Goddess possessed profound magical knowledge, she could not predict the future. This was something Lin Xuan had never anticipated either.
shì shì wú cháng ， lín xuān yě bù yóu de shēn shēn de tàn le kǒu qì 。
世事无常，林轩也不由得深深的叹了口气。
The world is unpredictable, and Lin Xuan sighed deeply.
ér tiān wū shén nǚ zuò chū zhè xiē bù zhì ， xiǎn rán yǐ yǒu jǐ fēn tuō gū zhī yì ， ruò shì méi yǒu liào cuò 。 cǐ nǚ yě xǔ pò kāi jiè miàn zhī lì 。 qù xún zhǎo yù wài tiān mó 。
而天巫神女做出这些布置，显然已有几分托孤之意，若是没有料错。此女也许破开界面之力。去寻找域外天魔。
Judging by her actions, it seemed that the Heavenly Witch Goddess intended to entrust herself to him. If his guess was correct, this woman might break through the dimensional barrier to seek out the Outer Demons.
niàn jí zhì cǐ ， lín xuān xīn zhōng yě bù yóu de pèi fú cǐ nǚ de yǒng qì ， yù wài tiān mó de kě pà shì zhòng suǒ zhōu zhī dì ， biàn shì zhēn xiān duì shàng lái le ， yě huì tóu téng yǐ jí ， cǐ nǚ ruò zhēn pò kāi jiè miàn zhī lì ， qù zhè xiē mó tóu shēng huó de dì fāng 。 zhè fèn dǎn pò ， dàng zhēn lìng rén jìng yǎng bù yǐ 。
念及至此，林轩心中也不由得佩服此女的勇气，域外天魔的可怕是众所周知地，便是真仙对上来了，也会头疼以极，此女若真破开界面之力，去这些魔头生活的地方。这份胆魄，当真令人敬仰不已。
Thinking about this, Lin Xuan admired her courage immensely. The fear of the Outer Demons was well-known; even True Immortals would find it troublesome to face them. If she truly broke through the dimensional barrier and ventured into their realm, such bravery was truly admirable.
suī rán zài lín xuān kàn lái ， tā zhè me zuò ， wèi miǎn tài chòng dòng le yī xiē ， ruò shì zì jǐ ， kěn dìng huì cóng cháng jì yì 。 fán sú yǒu yī jù huà ， jiào jūn zǐ bào chóu ， shí nián bù wǎn ， zhè jù huà yòng zài xiū xiān jiè ， shí jiān huò xǔ tài duǎn le yī xiē ， dàn liú dé qīng shān zài ， bù pà méi chái shāo ， zhè dào lǐ 。 zǒng guī bú huì yǒu cuò dì 。
虽然在林轩看来，她这么做，未免太冲动了一些，若是自己，肯定会从长计议。凡俗有一句话，叫君子报仇，十年不晚，这句话用在修仙界，时间或许太短了一些，但留得青山在，不怕没柴烧，这道理。总归不会有错地。
Although he thought her actions too impulsive, if it were him, he would have planned carefully. There's a saying in the mundane world: "A gentleman seeks revenge; ten years is not too long." This principle might be shorter in the cultivation world, but as long as one could preserve their strength, they wouldn't fear running out of resources.
ér xuě líng suī rán bù zhī tiān wū shén nǚ de xià luò 。 dàn cǐ nǚ de cāi cè dào yǔ lín xuān rú chū yī zhé ， tiān wū shén nǚ duō bàn shì qù le yù wài tiān mó suǒ zài de jiè miàn 。 xún zhǎo lán sè xīng hǎi le 。
而雪灵虽然不知天巫神女的下落。但此女的猜测倒与林轩如出一辙，天巫神女多半是去了域外天魔所在的界面。寻找蓝sè星海了。
Although Snow Spirit did not know where the Outer Demons lived, her guess was similar to Lin Xuan's. The Heavenly Witch Goddess likely went to the realm of the Outer Demons to search for the Blue Star Sea.
“ yù wài tiān mó suǒ zài de jiè miàn ， xiān zi zhī dào zěn me qù me ？”
“域外天魔所在的界面，仙子知道怎么去么？”
"Does the Fairy Lady know how to reach the realm of the Outer Demons?"
lín xuān méi tóu yī tiāo ， gǎn xìng qù de wèn le yī jù ， suī rán shí lì dào le tā zhè ge děng jí ， zhǐ yào bú shì jiè miàn zhī lì tài lí pǔ ， dōu yǒu pò suì xū kōng de néng lì ， dàn jiù suàn néng gòu jiāng jiè miàn zhī jiān de tōng dào dǎ kāi ， yě bú shì shuō xiǎng dào nǎ ér jiù néng dào nǎ ér ， zhì shǎo yào xiān zhī dào nà ge jiè miàn de qíng bào ， wèi yú hé chù ， zhǔn què zuò biāo ， zhè yàng cái néng zuò dào yǒu dì fàng shǐ ， zhǔn què chuán sòng dào nà ge wèi miàn qù 。
林轩眉头一挑，感兴趣的问了一句，虽然实力到了他这个等级，只要不是界面之力太离谱，都有破碎虚空的能力，但就算能够将界面之间的通道打开，也不是说想到哪儿就能到哪儿，至少要先知道那个界面的情报，位于何处，准确坐标，这样才能做到有的放矢，准确传送到那个位面去。
Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow and asked curiously. Although his power allowed him to break through dimensional barriers, even if he could open a passage between realms, it wasn't as simple as traveling anywhere. He needed to know the location and accurate coordinates first.
ér rú jīn de xiū xiān jiè ， yǐ yǔ shàng gǔ zhī shí dà bù xiāng tóng ， rén men kǒu zhōng de sān dà jiè miàn yě jiù líng jiè 、 mó jiè yǐ jí yīn sī jiè ér yǐ ， qí tā tóng děng jí de jiè miàn tīng dōu méi yǒu tīng shuō ， lín xuān shì dì yī cì zhī dào hái yǒu shàng qiān gè 。
而如今的修仙界，已与上古之时大不相同，人们口中的三大界面也就灵界、魔界以及yīn司界而已，其他同等级的界面听都没有听说，林轩是第一次知道还有上千个。
The current cultivation world was vastly different from ancient times. People only talked about three realms: the Spiritual Realm, the Demon Realm, and the Netherworld. There were no other known realms of similar power. Lin Xuan had never heard that there were thousands of such realms.
zhì yú yù wài tiān mó ， xiàn zài xiū shì duì tā men de liǎo jiě jiù gèng shǎo le ， néng ǒu ěr tīng dào yì diǎn chuán wén jiù bù cuò ， zhè xiē mó tóu jiū jìng qī shēn yú hé chù ， tiān zhī dào shì fǒu hái yǒu xiū shì xiǎo de 。
至于域外天魔，现在修士对他们的了解就更少了，能偶尔听到一点传闻就不错，这些魔头究竟栖身于何处，天知道是否还有修士晓得。
As for the Outer Demons, their whereabouts remained a mystery to most cultivators. Occasionally hearing rumors was considered good enough. It was unknown if any cultivator knew where they lived.
rú jīn yǔ xuě líng liáo dào cǐ chù ， zì rán yào shùn biàn dǎ tīng shàng yī èr le 。
如今与雪灵聊到此处，自然要顺便打听上一二了。
Discussing this with Snow Spirit, he naturally wanted to gather more information.
rán ér xuě líng què yáo le yáo tóu ：“ yù wài tiān mó shēng huó de jiè miàn ， qiè shēn yě bù xiǎo de 。”
然而雪灵却摇了摇头：“域外天魔生活的界面，妾身也不晓得。”
However, Snow Spirit shook her head. "I don't know how to reach the realm of the Outer Demons."
“ shì me ？”
“是么？”
"Really?"
lín xuān diǎn le diǎn tóu ， liǎn shàng dào yě méi yǒu tài duō shī wàng zhī sè， tā yuán běn yě jiù bù guò shì suí kǒu yī wèn bà le 。
林轩点了点头，脸上倒也没有太多失望之sè，他原本也就不过是随口一问罢了。
Lin Xuan nodded and showed no disappointment on his face. He had only asked out of curiosity.
jīn tiān de shōu huò yǐ jīng gòu duō ， zhì yú yù wài tiān mó ， yǐ jí qí tā jiè miàn de yǐn mì ， yǐ hòu yǒu shí jiān ， zài màn màn dǎ tīng yě shì bù chí dì 。
今天的收获已经够多，至于域外天魔，以及其他界面的隐秘，以后有时间，再慢慢打听也是不迟地。
Today's收获 was already plentiful. Regarding the Outer Demons and other hidden realms, he could gather more information in due time.
xīn jí chī bù liǎo rè dòu fǔ ， lín xuān zuò shì qíng ， xiàng lái shì xún xù jiàn jìn de 。
心急吃不了热豆腐，林轩做事情，向来是循序渐进的。
Patience is key; Lin Xuan always approached things step by step.
“ duì le ， xiān zi jì yǐ jìn jiē dào dù jié qī ， zěn me huì zuò huà yú zhè lǐ ？” lín xuān yòu xiǎng dào yí gè wèn tí 。
“对了，仙子既已进阶到渡劫期，怎么会坐化于这里？”林轩又想到一个问题。
"By the way, why did you enter Nirvana here if you have advanced to the Tribulation Transcending stage?" Lin Xuan asked another question.
chú le xuě líng cǐ nǚ ， qí tā jǐ jù diāo xiàng de zhǔ rén ， ruò shì zì jǐ suǒ liào méi cuò ， duō bàn yě shì dù jié jí bié de dà néng xiū xiān zhě 。
除了雪灵此女，其他几具雕像的主人，若是自己所料没错，多半也是渡劫级别的大能修仙者。
Apart from Snow Spirit, the others were likely powerful cultivators at the Tribulation Transcending stage as well.
jí biàn dōu zhǐ shì chū qī ， dàn wǔ rén jù zài yì qǐ ， nà shí lì yě shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě dì ， wú lùn rú hé ， bù gāi qīng yì yǔn luò 。
即便都只是初期，但五人聚在一起，那实力也是非同小可地，无论如何，不该轻易陨落。
Even if they were only in their early stages, together, their strength was formidable. They should not have easily perished.
“ shǎo zhǔ wàng le ， qiè shēn suī jī yuán qiǎo hé ， jìn jiē dào dù jié qī ， dàn wǒ děng chū qī xiū shì ， kě hái méi yǒu zhèng tuō shòu yuán shù fù ， ruò shì yùn qì bù cuò ， néng gòu chēng guò shí cì bā cì tiān jié 。 huó shàng bǎi wàn nián hái shì yǒu kě néng de ， dàn jù lí běn zú dà nàn ， rú jīn yǐ yǒu qī bǎi wàn yú nián ， chú fēi shì dù jié hòu qī de dǐng jí rén wù ， wǒ děng chū qī xiū shì jué bù kě néng huó shàng zhè me jiǔ de 。”
“少主忘了，妾身虽机缘巧合，进阶到渡劫期，但我等初期修士，可还没有挣脱寿元束缚，若是运气不错，能够撑过十次八次天劫。活上百万年还是有可能的，但距离本族大难，如今已有七百万余年，除非是渡劫后期的顶级人物，我等初期修士绝不可能活上这么久的。”
"Master forgot. Although I advanced to the Tribulation Transcending stage by chance, we initial-stage cultivators are still bound by our lifespans. If we're lucky, we might survive eight or ten tribulations and live for a million years. However, with over seven hundred thousand years since the disaster of our clan, unless it's an advanced cultivator at the late Tribulation stage, none of us can live that long."
“ ó ， zhè dǎo shì lín mǒu shū hū 。” lín xuān náo le náo tóu 。
“哦，这倒是林某疏忽。”林轩挠了挠头。
"Oh, I see; this is something Master neglected," Lin Xuan scratched his head.
sú huà shuō ， zhì zhě qiān lǜ bì yǒu yī shī ， tā jū rán wàng jì le zhè me jiǎn dān de shì ， yào zhī dào tiān jié yuè dào hòu miàn yuè shì lí pǔ ， qí wēi lì dà dào bù kě sī yì de dì bù ， pǔ tōng dù jié chū qī de xiū xiān zhě ， shòu yuán yě jiù yì bǎi wàn nián zuǒ yòu 。
俗话说，智者千虑必有一失，他居然忘记了这么简单的事，要知道天劫越到后面越是离谱，其威力大到不可思议的地步，普通渡劫初期的修仙者，寿元也就一百万年左右。
It was said that even wise men could make mistakes. He had forgotten such a simple matter. The later tribulations were increasingly unpredictable and powerful, with lifespans limited to about a million years for ordinary initial-stage cultivators. Only those with extraordinary treasures or unique cultivation techniques might survive multiple tribulations, but the extra lifespan would be limited—just an additional one or two hundred thousand years.
jǐn yǒu jí shǎo shù shēn huái zhì bǎo huò zhě xiū liàn yǒu shén me nì tiān gōng fǎ de cún zài ， kě yǐ duō áo guò jǐ cì tiān jié ， dàn duō chū lái de shòu yuán ， yě shì yǒu xiàn ， bù guò duō huó shàng nà me yī èr shí wàn nián 。
仅有极少数身怀至宝或者修炼有什么逆天功法的存在，可以多熬过几次天劫，但多出来的寿元，也是有限，不过多活上那么一二十万年。
To significantly increase their lifespan, they had no choice but to advance in cultivation.
xiǎng yào ràng shòu yuán zēng jiā xǔ duō ， hái shì zhǐ yǒu jì xù tí shēng jìng jiè yī tiáo lù 。
想要让寿元增加许多，还是只有继续提升境界一条路。
If they could reach the late Tribulation stage, they would no longer be bound by lifespans and truly achieve immortality. However, the difficulty of advancing from initial to late stages was beyond words.
rú guǒ néng gòu xiū liàn dào dù jié hòu qī ， nà zì rán jiù bù zài shòu shòu yuán de shù fù ， zhēn zhèng kě yǐ cháng shēng bù lǎo le 。
如果能够修炼到渡劫后期，那自然就不再受寿元的束缚，真正可以长生不老了。
Those who managed to enter the Tribulation stage were almost all geniuses. Even these admired existences, most remained stuck in their early stages, unable to advance further. The true cultivators who could reach the late stage were so rare that they could be counted on one's fingers and toes.
rán ér shuō shuō róng yì ， chū qī dào hòu qī de nán dù ， què gēn běn wú fǎ yòng yán yǔ lái xíng róng 。
然而说说容易，初期到后期的难度，却根本无法用言语来形容。
He never expected it to have been so long—seven hundred thousand years. Initial-stage cultivators indeed couldn't live for such a long time.
néng gòu mài rù dù jié de cún zài ， jī hū dōu kě yǐ chēng zhī wèi tiān cái ， rán ér jí biàn shì zhè xiē lìng rén yǎng mù de cún zài ， dà bù fèn rén ， yě dōu kùn yú chū qī ， xiū wéi nán yǐ zài cùn jìn yí bù ， zhēn zhèng néng gòu mài rù hòu qī de xiū xiān zhě ， yòng fèng máo lín jiǎo lái xíng róng ， nà yě shì háo bù wèi guò 。
能够迈入渡劫的存在，几乎都可以称之为天才，然而即便是这些令人仰慕的存在，大部分人，也都困于初期，修为难以再寸进一步，真正能够迈入后期的修仙者，用凤毛麟角来形容，那也是毫不为过。
This was something he had neglected, but Snow Spirit still retained a fragment of her soul. How should this be explained?
méi xiǎng dào cǐ shì jù jīn rú cǐ jiǔ yuǎn ， zú zú qī bǎi wàn nián ， nà dù jié chū qī de cún zài ， què shí bù kě néng huó shàng zhè me jiǔ de shí jiān 。
没想到此事距今如此久远，足足七百万年，那渡劫初期的存在，确实不可能活上这么久的时间。
Seeing Lin Xuan's confusion, the Moon Shadow Clan girl spoke up: "Master forgot. We were entrusted by the Heavenly Witch Goddess to guard these treasures and wait for you. As time passed, our lifespans grew short. Unable to fulfill the Heavenly Witch Goddess's request, we had no choice but to use a secret technique."
"Is it really necessary to go through all this trouble? This matter is a result of chance, so how can we blame the Heavenly Witch Goddess for it?"
Lin Xuan sighed. In the end, it was because they had not kept their discovery of the Blue Star Sea a secret that attracted countless powerful cultivators.
Thinking about this, Lin Xuan felt extremely fortunate. He was glad he was smart enough to keep the Blue Star Sea a secret. If he had accidentally let out any information, he might have already been in an irreparable situation.
"Although the Heavenly Witch Goddess understands the logic, her nature would not allow her to stay out of it," Snow Spirit said softly.
"Oh? What are the plans of the Heavenly Witch Goddess?" Lin Xuan was curious.
"The Heavenly Witch Goddess gave us guidance and set up some arrangements. She hid the treasures of the Moon Shadow Clan here and instructed us to guard them. She also said that if any cultivators at the Tribulation Transcending stage, who practice the Moon Shadow Heavenly Witch Technique, come here in the future, they would be considered successors of our clan.

"Oh?"
Lin Xuan finally understood why Snow Spirit called him Young Master and showed such respect. She had told him all these secrets without reservation, revealing the twists in her plan.
It seemed that she truly considered him one of her own.
A warm feeling washed over Lin Xuan's heart. He already had a favorable impression of the Moon Shadow Clan. If it was within his power, he wouldn't mind helping them. However, after millions of years, the Moon Shadow Clan not only failed to rise again but almost vanished from the Spiritual Realm.
