zhè yàng de jié guǒ ， zì rán shì lín xuān wàn wàn bù céng yù liào dào de 。
这样的结果，自然是林轩万万不曾预料到的。
Such a result was far beyond what Lin Xuan had ever anticipated.
yòu jīng yòu xǐ ！
又惊又喜！
Surprised and delighted, he also wore a hint of bewilderment on his face.
tóng shí liǎn shàng yì dài zhe jǐ fēn máng rán zhī yì 。
同时脸上亦带着几分茫然之意。
The Five Dragon Seal was truly formidable. With this treasure in play, the heavenly tribulation actually showed signs of fear...
wǔ lóng xǐ rú cǐ liǎo de ， cǐ bǎo yī chū ， tiān jié jū rán huì lù chū wèi jù zhī sè ……
五龙玺如此了得，此宝一出，天劫居然会露出畏惧之色……
Just thinking about it felt too incredible.
xiǎng xiǎng jiù jué de tài bù kě sī yì le 。
想想就觉得太不可思议了。
Before he could fully process that thought, something even more astonishing happened.
ér zhè ge niàn tou shàng wèi zhuǎn guò ， gèng lìng tā chēng mù jié shé de shì qíng fā shēng le 。
而这个念头尚未转过，更令他瞠目结舌的事情发生了。
The Five Dragon Seal spun around, unwilling to give up easily. The surface emitted a flow of spiritual light, and the five golden dragon shadows flickered into existence.
wǔ lóng xǐ dī liū liū yī zhuǎn ， jū rán bù yuàn yì shàn bà gān xiū 。
五龙玺滴溜溜一转，居然不愿意善罢甘休。
A profound法则 power spread out.
zhǐ jiàn biǎo miàn líng máng liú zhuǎn ， wǔ tiáo jīn lóng de xū yǐng ruò yǐn ruò xiàn 。
只见表面灵芒流转，五条金龙的虚影若隐若现。
This rule power was so formidable that even onlookers felt a chill down their spines.
yī gǔ nán yǐ yán yù de fǎ zé zhī lì mí sàn kāi 。
一股难以言喻的法则之力弥散开。
Lin Xuan, an advanced-stage tribulation cultivator, had seen many kinds of rule powers. However, what he saw now could not be denied—it was something he had never encountered before!
nà fǎ zé zhī lì shì rú cǐ de fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， páng guān de zhòng rén jìng yǒu yī gǔ jīng sǒng de gǎn jué 。
那法则之力是如此的非同小可，旁观的众人竟有一股惊悚的感觉。
All he could feel was immense strength, overwhelming strength!
lín xuān yǐ shì dù jié zhōng qī de xiū xiān zhě ， gè zhǒng gè yàng de fǎ zé zhī lì jiàn shí guò hěn duō ， rán ér yǎn qián de ， què wú fǎ biàn bó 。
林轩已是渡劫中期的修仙者，各种各样的法则之力见识过很多，然而眼前的，却无法辩驳。
Even surpassing spatial rules.
zì jǐ cóng wèi jiàn guò ！
自己从未见过！
But it was too specific to describe clearly.
zhǐ yǒu yī zhǒng gǎn jué ， nà jiù shì qiáng dà ， tài qiáng dà le ！
只有一种感觉，那就是强大，太强大了！
Before this thought could fully form in his mind, the five golden dragons raised their heads and roared towards the heavens. However, there was no sound coming from their mouths.
shèn zhì shèng guò le kōng jiān fǎ zé 。
甚至胜过了空间法则。
Then, a surprising scene unfolded.
rán ér tài jù tǐ de ， què shuō bù qīng chǔ 。
然而太具体的，却说不清楚。
The true spirits formed by the tribulation clouds had already scattered when the roar of the dragons pulled them back like a whale sucking water, as if guided by an invisible force.
nǎo hǎi zhōng zhè ge niàn tou shàng wèi zhuǎn guò ， jiù jiàn wǔ tóu jīn lóng ， yì qǐ yáng qǐ le tóu lú ， yǎng tiān zhǎng hǒu ， rán ér gǔ guài de shì ， bìng wú bàn diǎn shēng yīn ， cóng tā men de zuǐ bā lǐ fā chū 。
脑海中这个念头尚未转过，就见五头金龙，一起扬起了头颅，仰天长吼，然而古怪的是，并无半点声音，从它们的嘴巴里发出。
"Impossible!"
kě jiē xià lái ， què fā shēng le ràng rén dà wèi chà rán de yí mù 。
可接下来，却发生了让人大为诧然的一幕。
Such a change left even Lin Xuan, who had witnessed it, baffled.
jié yún suǒ biàn huà chū lái de zhēn líng ， yuán běn yǐ sì sàn ér táo ， kě suí zhe wǔ tóu jīn lóng de hǒu jiào ， tā men què xiàng bèi yī gǔ kàn bú jiàn de lì liàng qiān yǐn zhe ， rú zhǎng jīng xī shuǐ yì bān ， bèi qiān yǐn le huí lái 。
劫云所变化出来的真灵，原本已四散而逃，可随着五头金龙的吼叫，它们却像被一股看不见的力量牵引着，如长鲸吸水一般，被牵引了回来。
Following this, the Five Dragon Seal spun again and emitted multicolored clouds from within.
“ zěn me kě néng ！”
“怎么可能！”
In an instant, these clouds spread over several acres. Then, they surged and swirled, forming a massive vortex nearly ten zhang in diameter.
zhè yàng de biàn gù ， bié shuō páng guān de xiū xiān zhě ， biàn shì lín xuān ， yī yàng zhàng èr hé shàng mō bù zháo tóu nǎo 。
这样的变故，别说旁观的修仙者，便是林轩，一样丈二和尚摸不着头脑。
Inside, golden light burst forth. An immense suction force emanated from it.
suí hòu wǔ lóng xǐ dī liū liū yī zhuǎn ， cóng lǐ miàn mào chū wǔ sè de yún cǎi 。
随后五龙玺滴溜溜一转，从里面冒出五色的云彩。
Almost instantly, the nine true spirits were drawn close.
zhuǎn shùn zhī jiān ， jiù mí màn le fāng yuán shù mǔ ， suí hòu nà yún qì bēn téng fān yǒng ， jū rán huà wèi le yì zhí jìng shí yú zhàng de jù dà xuán wō 。
转瞬之间，就弥漫了方圆数亩，随后那云气奔腾翻涌，居然化为了一直径十余丈的巨大漩涡。
Though formed by tribulation clouds, at this moment, they displayed extremely anthropomorphic fear, struggling desperately to break free from the suction.
lǐ miàn jīn guāng pēn bó 。 wú qióng de xī lì ， gèng yóu lǐ miàn sàn fà ér chū 。
里面金光喷薄。无穷的吸力，更由里面散发而出。
However, it was not easy.
jī hū shì zhuǎn shùn de gōng fu ， jiǔ tóu zhēn líng jiù bèi qiān yǐn dào le jìn chù 。
几乎是转瞬的功夫，九头真灵就被牵引到了近处。
The Five Dragon Seal was already incredibly mysterious. The vortex created by its multicolored clouds had an even greater suction force.
míng míng shì jié yún biàn huà ér chéng de ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， què wú yī lì wài ， lù chū le jí wéi nǐ rén huà de hài pà zhī sè 。
明明是劫云变化而成的，此时此刻，却无一例外，露出了极为拟人化的害怕之色。
"Kwa!"
pīn mìng zhēng zhá 。
拼命挣扎。
A mournful cry reached his ears.
xiǎng yào yóu nà xī lì zhī zhōng zhèng tuō 。
想要由那吸力之中挣脱。
Jinyue True Toad, being the weakest of the nine true spirits, was the first to be swallowed by the vortex...
rán ér nǎ ér yǒu nà me róng yì 。
然而哪儿有那么容易。
The other true spirits, filled with reverence and fear, struggled fiercely but in vain. The closer they got to the vortex, the more intense the suction became. Having failed to escape before, there was no hope now.
wǔ lóng xǐ yuán běn jiù shén miào yǐ jí ， cǐ kè nà wǔ sè yún cǎi suǒ huàn huà de xuán wō ， xī lì gèng shì dà dé chū qí 。
五龙玺原本就神妙以极，此刻那五色云彩所幻化的漩涡，吸力更是大得出奇。
"Gu..."
“ gū ！”
“呱！”
Another reluctant cry reached his ears as Shen Nv Zhuque followed Jinyue True Toad's fate.
āi míng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
哀鸣声传入耳朵。
However, Zhuque wasn't the weakest among the remaining eight true spirits; it was mostly due to bad luck that it was the second one swallowed by the vortex.
jīn yuè zhēn chán zài jiǔ zhǒng zhēn líng zhōng zuì ruò 。
金玥真蟾在九种真灵中最弱。
Indeed, luck!
cǐ kè ， zhè xiē suǒ wèi de zhēn líng suī rán shì yóu jié yún huàn huà ér chéng de ， dàn sì hū yě jì chéng le zhè ge xiào guǒ 。 yú shì ， zuì xiān bèi xuán wō tūn mò de ， shì nà jù dà de chán chú ……
此刻，这些所谓的真灵虽然是由劫云幻化而成的，但似乎也继承了这个效果。于是，最先被漩涡吞没的，是那巨大的蟾蜍……
But this point didn't matter much anymore.
tù sǐ hú bēi 。 qí tā de zhēn líng gèng shì jìng wèi ， zhēng zhá dé yě yuè fā měng è ， kě méi yǒu xiào guǒ ， yuè shì kào jìn xuán wō ， nà xī lì yě jiù yuè fā de dà dé lí pǔ 。 gāng gāng jì rán dōu méi néng táo tuō ， rú jīn jiù gèng bù yòng zuò cǐ shē wàng le 。
兔死狐悲。其他的真灵更是敬畏，挣扎得也越发猛恶，可没有效果，越是靠近漩涡，那吸力也就越发的大得离谱。刚刚既然都没能逃脱，如今就更不用做此奢望了。
Because the other six eventually fell, but their ultimate fates were the same.
yī bù gān de jiào shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， xù jīn yuè zhēn chán zhī hòu ， shén niǎo zhū què yì bù qí hòu chén le 。
一不甘的叫声传入耳朵，续金玥真蟾之后，神鸟朱雀亦步其后尘了。
In just a few minutes, all nine true spirits had perished.
bù guò dào bú shì shuō zhū què zài shèng yú de bā zhǒng zhēn líng zhōng zuì ruò ， tā dì èr gè bèi xuán wō tūn mò zhǔ yào hái shì yùn qì de yuán gù 。
不过倒不是说朱雀在剩余的八种真灵中最弱，它第二个被漩涡吞没主要还是运气的缘故。
The heavenly tribulation crumbled on its own. Above Lin Xuan's head, multicolored clouds swirled brilliantly.
méi cuò ， yùn qì ！
没错，运气！
Moon's face was naturally both surprised and delighted, while Little Tangerine's expression was filled with disbelief. This big fool really had some tricks up his sleeve. In her memory, across the three realms and throughout history, no one had ever passed a tribulation as spectacularly as he did.
dàn zhè yì diǎn 。 qí shí yě bú zhòng yào le 。
但这一点。其实也不重要了。
...
yīn wèi shèng yú de liù gè jiā huo ， suī rán wǎn yì diǎn yǔn luò ， dàn zuì zhōng de jié jú 。 qí shí dōu shì yī yàng de 。
因为剩余的六个家伙，虽然晚一点陨落，但最终的结局。其实都是一样的。
With this matter settled for now, Lin Xuan finally managed to turn danger into safety, overcoming the crisis that even frightened him. However, Tian Xiaojian's situation remained uncertain.
……
……
The Soul Stealing Pill of the Netherworld was indeed, as the Demon Lord said, a remarkable divine object. His magical power had been nearly depleted, and his innate primordial energy was almost completely exhausted.
qián hòu bù guò yī zhǎn chá de gōng fu ， jiǔ zhǒng zhēn líng quán bù yǔn luò 。
前后不过一盏茶的功夫，九种真灵全部陨落。
But after consuming this pill, his magical power gradually recovered within half a cup of tea. It couldn't reach its peak, but it was about seven-tenths of what he originally had.
tiān jié yě jiù bù gōng zì pò ， wéi jiàn lín xuān tóu dǐng shàng wǔ sè de yún cǎi xuàn lì bān bó 。
天劫也就不攻自破，唯见林轩头顶上五色的云彩绚丽斑驳。
Such good results left Tian Xiaojian in shock.
yuè ér de liǎn shàng zì rán shì yòu jīng yòu xǐ ， xiǎo táo de biǎo qíng zé chōng mǎn le bù kě sī yì ， zhè dà bèn dàn 。 hái zhēn yǒu liǎng bǎ shuā zi ， zài zì jǐ de jì yì lǐ 。 fàng yǎn sān jiè ， zòng héng jīn gǔ ， hái cóng lái méi yǒu rén ， dù jié dù dé rú cǐ jīng cǎi fēn chéng de 。
月儿的脸上自然是又惊又喜，小桃的表情则充满了不可思议，这大笨蛋。还真有两把刷子，在自己的记忆里。放眼三界，纵横今古，还从来没有人，渡劫渡得如此精彩纷呈的。
However, he didn't let his guard down because a mere divine pill wouldn't completely erase his caution.
……
……
Drawing a breath, he used his powerful spiritual awareness to perform inner vision and carefully examined the situation. He found no issues.
shì qíng zhì cǐ ， suàn shì gào yí duàn luò ， lín xuān zhōng yú huà xiǎn wéi yí ， dù guò le lìng tā yě xīn jīng ròu tiào de wēi jī ， ér tián xiǎo jiàn de chǔ jìng ， què yī jiù chǔ yú fú huò nán liào de jìng dì 。
事情至此，算是告一段落，林轩终于化险为夷，度过了令他也心惊肉跳的危机，而田小剑的处境，却依旧处于福祸难料的境地。
Then, that ancient and imposing voice echoed again: "How about it, young friend? Did I deceive you? Now that your magical power has recovered, would you like to come see me?"
yōu míng duó pò dān ， guǒ rán rú mó zú dà tǒng lǐng suǒ shuō ， nǎi shì bù fán de xiān jiā zhī wù ， tā de fǎ lì ， yuán běn yǐ suǒ shèng wú jǐ ， tǐ nèi de běn mìng yuán qì ， yì kuī sǔn dào le jìn hū kū jié de jìng dì 。
幽冥夺魄丹，果然如魔族大统领所说，乃是不凡的仙家之物，他的法力，原本已所剩无几，体内的本命元气，亦亏损到了近乎枯竭的境地。
"Why don't you come over yourself?"
kě fú xià cǐ wù ， bù guò bàn zhǎn chá de gōng fu ， tā de fǎ lì jiù zhú jiàn huī fù ， dāng rán bù kě néng dào quán shèng de chéng dù ， dàn chà bu duō yě yǒu yuán běn qī chéng de fǎ lì le 。
可服下此物，不过半盏茶的功夫，他的法力就逐渐恢复，当然不可能到全盛的程度，但差不多也有原本七成的法力了。
Tian Xiaojian also showed some suspicion on his face. A mere divine pill wouldn't make him completely trust.
zhè yàng hǎo de xiào guǒ ， tián xiǎo jiàn dà jīng shī sè 。
这样好的效果，田小剑大惊失色。
"Ha! If old man could go over, why call you? We have no grudges and I won’t hassle a junior like you," the voice carried a sigh: "Now that your magical power has recovered, but this spatial storm's intensity far exceeds what you can imagine. Old man is trapped here; you can't possibly break through alone. Working together might give us a chance."
dàn tā què yě méi yǒu yīn cǐ dà yì shén me ， xī le kǒu qì ， yǐ qiáng dà de shén shí ， shī zhǎn nèi shì zhī shù ， zǐ xì chá tàn hòu ， què bìng méi yǒu fā xiàn bù tuǒ 。
但他却也没有因此大意什么，吸了口气，以强大的神识，施展内视之术，仔细查探后，却并没有发现不妥。
"Alright!"
zhè shí hòu ， nà gǔ piáo wēi yán de shēng yīn ， zài cì chuán rù le ěr duǒ ：“ rú hé ， xiǎo yǒu ， běn wáng kě yǒu piàn nǐ ， rú jīn nǐ fǎ lì yǐ jīng huī fù ， kě fǒu guò lái jiàn yī jiàn wǒ 。”
这时候，那古朴威严的声音，再次传入了耳朵：“如何，小友，本王可有骗你，如今你法力已经恢复，可否过来见一见我。”
Tian Xiaojian remained silent for a moment. During this time, he released his powerful spiritual awareness, which was swallowed within less than a hundred feet. Tian Xiaojian's face turned pale.
“ dào yǒu wèi hé zì jǐ bù guò lái ne ？”
“道友为何自己不过来呢？”
The other party indeed didn't speak nonsense.
tián xiǎo jiàn de liǎn shàng ， yì lù chū jǐ fēn jǐng tì zhī sè ， qū qū yī méi xiān dān ， zì rán bú huì ràng tā jiāng jiè xīn quán bù xiāo chú 。
田小剑的脸上，亦露出几分警惕之色，区区一枚仙丹，自然不会让他将戒心全部消除。
"How do I come over?"
“ hēi ， lǎo fū ruò néng guò qù ， hé bì jiào nǐ ， nǐ wǒ wú yuān wú chóu ， wǒ yě bú huì yǔ nǐ yí gè hòu shēng wǎn bèi guò bù qù 。” duì fāng de shēng yīn ， dài zhe jǐ fēn tàn xī ：“ nǐ xiàn zài ， suī huī fù le fǎ lì ， dàn zhè kōng jiān fēng bào de qiáng dù ， yuǎn chāo nǐ xiǎng xiàng xǔ duō ， lǎo fū dōu bèi kùn zhù ， nǐ gèng bù kě néng yí gè rén chuǎng guò qù de ， nǐ wǒ lián shǒu ， dào hái yǒu yī xiàn shēng jī 。”
“嘿，老夫若能过去，何必叫你，你我无冤无仇，我也不会与你一个后生晚辈过不去。”对方的声音，带着几分叹息：“你现在，虽恢复了法力，但这空间风暴的强度，远超你想象许多，老夫都被困住，你更不可能一个人闯过去的，你我联手，倒还有一线生机。”
"Ha! Old man said so because there’s a way out. Just follow the path I told you."
“ hǎo ba ！”
“好吧！”
"Alright!"
tián xiǎo jiàn chén mò piàn kè ， zài zhè guò chéng zhōng ， tā xiān jiāng qiáng dà yǐ jí de shén shí fàng chū ， kě bù zú bǎi zhàng de jù lí ， jiù bèi tūn mò ， tián xiǎo jiàn huò rán biàn sè 。
田小剑沉默片刻，在这过程中，他先将强大以极的神识放出，可不足百丈的距离，就被吞没，田小剑豁然变色。
This time, Tian Xiaojian did not express any objections.
duì fāng guǒ rán méi yǒu hú yán luàn yǔ shén me 。
对方果然没有胡言乱语什么。
...
“ nà wǒ rú hé guò lái ne ？”
“那我如何过来呢？”
"Phew, finally passed the heavenly tribulation!"
“ hēi ， lǎo fū zhè me shuō ， zì rán shì yǒu bǎ wò ， xià miàn ， nǐ cháo zhe wǒ suǒ shuō de dào lù qián jìn jiù xíng le 。”
“嘿，老夫这么说，自然是有把握，下面，你朝着我所说的道路前进就行了。”
Lin Xuan exhaled in relief. Although the clouds above his head were still vibrant,
“ hǎo ba ！”
“好吧！”
since they came from the Five Dragon Seal, they posed no threat to him.
zhè yī huí ， tián xiǎo jiàn méi yǒu zài biǎo lù yì yì le 。
这一回，田小剑没有再表露异议了。
However, such a change was too strange. What would happen next?
……
……
Lin Xuan didn't know. Before he could fully process this thought, the clouds above his head began to churn violently and rapidly contract in area.
“ hū ， zhōng yú jiāng tiān jié dù guò ！”
“呼，终于将天劫度过！”
In just a few breaths, it seemed to vanish instantly but wasn’t completely dissipated; instead, it was reabsorbed by the Five Dragon Seal.
lín xuān sōng le kǒu qì ， tóu dǐng de yún cǎi suī rán yī jiù xuàn lì 。
林轩松了口气，头顶的云彩虽然依旧绚丽。
Compared to when it first appeared, the Five Dragon Seal seemed different. The five golden dragons on its surface became even more vividly lifelike.
dàn jì rán shì wǔ lóng xǐ biàn huà ér chū ， duì tā zì rán bú huì yǒu wēi shè 。
但既然是五龙玺变化而出，对他自然不会有威慑。
Nine scrolls also appeared on the surface of the Five Dragon Seal.
zhǐ shì zhè yàng de biàn gù ， wèi miǎn tài qí guài le ， jiē xià lái ， yòu huì zěn me shōu chǎng ne ？
只是这样的变故，未免太奇怪了，接下来，又会怎么收场呢？
Indeed, nine paintings, each as small as a grain of rice but incredibly lifelike.
lín xuān bù xiǎo de ， zhè ge niàn tou shàng wèi zhuǎn guò ， jiù jiàn tóu dǐng de yún cǎi jù liè de fān yǒng qǐ lái le 。
林轩不晓得，这个念头尚未转过，就见头顶的云彩剧烈的翻涌起来了。
Ordinary people couldn't see them clearly, but cultivators' spiritual awareness could distinguish them sharply.
miàn jī què jí sù shōu suō 。
面积却急速收缩。
They depicted Phoenix, True Dragon, Qilin, Great Peng, Peacock, Golden Crow, and Nine-headed Bird, corresponding to the tribulation clouds that had just been absorbed.
qián hòu bù guò jǐ xī de gōng fu ， jū rán jiù yú zhè qǐng kè jiān huà wèi le xū wú ， bù guò què bìng bú shì yān xiāo yún sàn ， ér shì chóng xīn bèi wǔ lóng xǐ xī rù le qí jiān 。
前后不过几息的功夫，居然就于这顷刻间化为了虚无，不过却并不是烟消云散，而是重新被五龙玺吸入了其间。
Lin Xuan was surprised and pondered whether there might be a connection between the Five Dragon Seal and true spirits.
ér yǔ gāng jì chū lái shí xiāng bǐ ， wǔ lóng xǐ sì hū yǒu le yī xiē jiǒng yì 。
而与刚祭出来时相比，五龙玺似乎有了一些迥异。
