sú huà shuō ， hǎo shì bù chū mén ， huài shì chuán qiān lǐ ， qí shí cǐ yán wèi miǎn piān pǒ le xiē 。////.
俗话说，好事不出门，坏事传千里，其实此言未免偏颇了些。////.
They say that good deeds don't leave the door, but bad ones travel a thousand miles. This saying is somewhat one-sided.
ruò shì duō zuò hǎo shì ， jí rén zhī suǒ jí ， yòng bù liǎo duō jiǔ de gōng fu ， yī yàng néng yōng yǒu ruò dà de míng qì 。
若是多做好事，急人之所急，用不了多久的功夫，一样能拥有偌大的名气。
Indeed, if one does many good deeds and helps those in need, they can gain significant fame within a short time.
lín xuān de qíng kuàng jiù shì rú cǐ 。
林轩的情况就是如此。
Lin Xuan's situation was no exception. Over these few months, he had saved countless lives. While some of the people he helped repaid his kindness with malice, most of the cultivators were grateful for his aid.
zhè shù yuè de gōng fu ， tā jiù rén wú shù 。
这数月的功夫，他救人无数。
The cultivation world might be full of danger and strife, but most people still knew how to repay a favor.
suǒ jiù de rén zhōng ， gù rán yǒu ēn jiāng chóu bào zhī tú ， dàn jué dà bù fèn xiū xiān zhě ， hái shì gǎn niàn qí ēn dé 。
所救的人中，固然有恩将仇报之徒，但绝大部分修仙者，还是感念其恩德。
For Lin Xuan, doing good deeds was not about seeking any return; it was simply something he did. And this large fame had its benefits too. He needed friends to help him find clues for the Seven Treasures of Naraka. His recent journey was aimed at broadening his social circle.
xiū xiān jiè shì duō xīng fēng xuè yǔ méi cuò ， dàn dà bù fèn rén ， hái shì dǒng de zhī ēn tú bào de 。
修仙界是多腥风血雨没错，但大部分人，还是懂得知恩图报的。
...
lín xuān zuò hǎo shì ， dāng rán shì bù qiú huí bào de 。
林轩做好事，当然是不求回报的。
The boundless sea stretched vast and wide, even with Lin Xuan and Mo'er's extraordinary concealment techniques, it would still take several years to cross. Though this time wasn't significant for them as cultivators, Lin Xuan didn’t have much interest in lingering here any longer.
duì tā lái shuō ， bù guò shì jǔ shǒu zhī láo ér yǐ 。
对他来说，不过是举手之劳而已。
After more than three months since he left Cloud Mist Island, a piece of land appeared ahead. However, upon closer inspection, they found that it was just another larger island rather than the edge of the boundless sea.
ér ruò dà de míng qì ， duì zì jǐ lái shuō ， yì yǒu hǎo chù ， xiǎng yào xún zhǎo xiū luó qī bǎo de xiàn suǒ ， yuán běn jiù xū yào péng yǒu duō duō ， lín xuān cǐ cì wài chū yóu lì ， yuán běn jiù shì bào zhe guǎng jié shàn yuán de niàn tou 。
而偌大的名气，对自己来说，亦有好处，想要寻找修罗七宝的线索，原本就需要朋友多多，林轩此次外出游历，原本就是抱着广结善缘的念头。
The area was enormous, and even with Lin Xuan’s divine sense rivaling that of late-stage cultivators, his perception still couldn't encompass everything.
……
……
"Good, good, this is where we should be."
wú biān hǎi miàn jī guǎng kuò ， jí biàn lín xuān yǔ yuè ér de dùn shù fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， xiǎng yào chuān guò ， zhì shǎo yě xū shù nián de gōng fu 。
无边海面积广阔，即便林轩与月儿的遁术非同小可，想要穿过，至少也需数年的功夫。
Lin Xuan waved his sleeve, and a jade cylinder engraved with a map of the sea flew out. He grasped it and injected his divine sense into it. After a moment, he looked up with a delighted expression on his face.
suī rán zhè diǎn shí jiān ， duì yú tā men zhè ge jìng jiè de xiū xiān zhě lái shuō bù zhí yī tí ， dàn lín xuān yě méi yǒu xìng qù yì zhí màn màn de dān gē xià qù 。
虽然这点时间，对于他们这个境界的修仙者来说不值一提，但林轩也没有兴趣一直慢慢的耽搁下去。
"Master, what's wrong?"
cǐ shí jù lí tā lí kāi yún xiá dǎo ， yǐ sān yuè yǒu yú ， qián fāng chū xiàn le yī kuài lù dì 。
此时距离他离开云霞岛，已三月有余，前方出现了一块陆地。
"This is Sea Ape Island. The teleportation array to leave the boundless sea is right here."
rán ér zǐ xì yī kàn ， què bìng fēi jiāng wú biān hǎi chuān guò ， bù guò shì yī zuò gèng dà de dǎo yǔ bà le 。
然而仔细一看，却并非将无边海穿过，不过是一座更大的岛屿罢了。
"Is that so?"
miàn jī jí wéi guǎng kuò ， lín xuān de shén shí ， kān bǐ dù jié hòu qī de xiū xiān zhě ， shèn zhì yóu yǒu shèng guò ， què yě wú fǎ náng kuò 。
面积极为广阔，林轩的神识，堪比渡劫后期的修仙者，甚至犹有胜过，却也无法囊括。
Moon’s delicate face lifted slightly as she revealed a hint of joy in her eyes. Although she had Master by her side and no regrets in this life, flying over the sea for months had made even the scenery tiresome. Knowing they could leave brought her immense happiness.
“ bù cuò ， bù cuò ， jiù shì zhè lǐ le 。”
“不错，不错，就是这里了。”
Thus, their speed increased further, adding an extra layer of green light to their flight.
lín xuān xiù páo yī fú ， nà lòu kè yǒu hǎi tú de yù tóng jiǎn fēi lüè ér chū 。
林轩袖袍一拂，那镂刻有海图的玉瞳简飞掠而出。
"Look! It's a late-stage Immortal Ancestor!"
lín xuān shēn shǒu wò zhù ， jiāng shén shí zhù rù ， piàn kè hòu tái qǐ tóu lú ， liǎn shàng lù chū xǐ yuè bù jīn zhī sè 。
林轩伸手握住，将神识注入，片刻后抬起头颅，脸上露出喜悦不禁之色。
Sea Ape Island was vast, and not far from the shore stood magnificent buildings. These weren’t owned by any sect or family; yet, many cultivators came and went here, making it one of the most bustling places in the sea.
“ shào yé ， zěn me le 。”
“少爷，怎么了。”
However, late-stage Immortal Ancients were rare, which is why the guards on patrol were surprised but didn't dare to speak much. After all, late-stage Immortal Ancients often had personalities as peculiar as their names; a single misstep could lead to dire consequences.
“ zhè lǐ jiù shì hǎi yuán dǎo ， lí kāi wú biān hǎi de chuán sòng zhèn ， jiù zài cǐ chù 。”
“这里就是海猿岛，离开无边海的传送阵，就在此处。”
The two cultivators’ flight soon brought them close. Once the guard recognized their faces, his fear quickly dissipated, replaced by joy and respect: "It’s Lin Senior and Fairy Mo! It's such good fortune for me to meet you both."
“ shì me ？”
“是么？”
"Oh, do I know you?"
yuè ér qiào liǎn wēi yáng ， měi lì de yǎn móu zhōng tóng yàng lù chū yī sī xǐ sè ， suī shuō yǒu shào yé bàn zài shēn biān ， jīn shēng zài wú yí hàn ， dàn zài hǎi shàng fēi le jǐ gè yuè ， fēng jǐng zěn me yě kàn nì diào le ， dé zhī néng gòu lí kāi zhè lǐ ， xīn zhōng zì rán chōng mǎn xǐ yì 。
月儿俏脸微扬，美丽的眼眸中同样露出一丝喜色，虽说有少爷伴在身边，今生再无遗憾，但在海上飞了几个月，风景怎么也看腻掉了，得知能够离开这里，心中自然充满喜意。
Lin Xuan showed curiosity on his face.
yú shì liǎng rén qīng máng dà zuò ， dùn guāng zài yuán yǒu de jī chǔ shàng yòu tiān shàng yī fēn le 。
于是两人青芒大做，遁光在原有的基础上又添上一分了。
All five elements had memory-enhancing effects. Lin Xuan was certain he had never met this person before; how could he recognize him?
“ shì dù jié lǎo zǔ ！”
“是渡劫老祖！”
"Senior jests. Your benevolent heart has saved countless lives in the boundless sea. Many cultivators and ordinary people here remember your great kindness. Although it's my first meeting with you, I've seen your portraits."
hǎi yuán dǎo miàn jī liáo kuò ， zài lí àn biān bù yuǎn ， jiù yǒu yī piàn qì shì huī hóng de jiàn zhù 。
海猿岛面积辽阔，在离岸边不远，就有一片气势恢宏的建筑。
The guard’s expression was filled with respect but showed no fear.
zhè ér bù shǔ rèn hé zōng mén jiā zú ， rán ér lái lái wǎng wǎng de xiū shì què shì jí duō ， zhěng zuò dǎo yǔ kě yǐ shuō fán huá dào le jí chù 。
这儿不属任何宗门家族，然而来来往往的修士却是极多，整座岛屿可以说繁华到了极处。
In recent months, Lin Xuan had acted bravely and helped many, earning a reputation for his kind heart and gentle nature. There was no need to worry about offending him.
dàn bù guǎn rú hé ， dù jié qī lǎo guài hái shì bù cháng jiàn de ， yě jiù nán guài xún yì de wèi shì huì dà jīng xiǎo guài le 。
但不管如何，渡劫期老怪还是不常见的，也就难怪巡弋的卫士会大惊小怪了。
"Such fame is unexpected."
suí hòu què bù gǎn duō shuō ， liǎn shàng lù chū zhàn zhàn jīng jīng zhī sè 。
随后却不敢多说，脸上露出战战兢兢之色。
This was an unforeseen delight for Lin Xuan. He conversed briefly before walking towards the magnificent buildings.
bì jìng dù jié jí bié de lǎo zǔ ， dà duō xìng gé dōu gǔ guài dào le jí chù ， wàn yī yī bù liú shén rě qí fā huǒ ， zì jǐ qǐ bù shì zì tǎo kǔ chī me ？
毕竟渡劫级别的老祖，大多姓格都古怪到了极处，万一一不留神惹其发火，自己岂不是自讨苦吃么？
Upon closer inspection, he saw numerous pavilions and towers of various designs. The place was bustling with activity, almost like a city.
lín xuān liǎng rén de dùn guāng bú yòng shuō ， piàn kè jiān jiù yǐ lái dào jìn chù 。
林轩两人的遁光不用说，片刻间就已来到近处。
Lin Xuan and Mo'er had neither hidden their presence nor concealed their cultivation; two late-stage Immortal Ancients arriving here naturally drew many gazes. The cultivators’ eyes were filled with awe, and some even showed envy.
nà wèi shì kàn qīng chǔ liǎng rén de miàn róng ， liǎn shàng de huáng kǒng què xùn sù xiāo sàn diào le 。
那卫士看清楚两人的面容，脸上的惶恐却迅速消散掉了。
Rainbow World indeed had countless experts, but the number of late-stage existences was still scarce in comparison. Thus, Lin Xuan and Mo'er attracted much attention. Even though Mo'er hadn’t returned to her Naraka form, she remained strikingly beautiful. While there were many beautiful cultivator fairies, few could match Mo'er.
qǔ ér dài zhī de shì kuáng xǐ ， yǐn yǐn hái dài zhe jí wéi zūn jìng zhī yì ：“ yuán lái shì lín qián bèi yǔ yuè xiān zi dào le ， xiǎo rén néng yǔ liǎng wèi xiāng yù ， zhēn shì bā bèi zi xiū lái de fú qì 。”
取而代之的是狂喜，隐隐还带着极为尊敬之意：“原来是林前辈与月仙子到了，小人能与两位相遇，真是八辈子修来的福气。”
Soon, someone recognized them.
“ ó ， nǐ rèn de wǒ ？”
“哦，你认得我？”
"Is it Senior Lin!"
lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū hào qí zhī sè 。
林轩脸上露出好奇之色。
"Yes, indeed! A great benefactor has arrived."
wǔ xíng fǎ shù ， jiē yǒu zhe guò mù bù wàng de xiào guǒ ， lín xuān gǎn bǎi fēn zhī bǎi de kěn dìng ， zì jǐ yǔ zhè rén ， cóng wèi jiàn guò ， tā zěn me kě néng rèn de zì jǐ ne ？
五行法术，皆有着过目不忘的效果，林轩敢百分之百的肯定，自己与这人，从未见过，他怎么可能认得自己呢？
"I have long admired Senior’s benevolence. May I be your disciple?"
“ qián bèi shuō xiào le ， nín pú sà xīn cháng ， jiù rén wú shù ， zhè wú biān hǎi shàng ， bù zhī dào yǒu duō shǎo xiū shì fán rén dōu gǎn niàn zhe nín de dà ēn dà dé ， wǎn bèi suī shì yǔ liǎng wèi qián bèi dì yī cì jiàn miàn ， dàn zǎo jiù cóng huà xiàng shàng ， jiàn guò liǎng wèi de zūn yán 。”
“前辈说笑了，您菩萨心肠，救人无数，这无边海上，不知道有多少修士凡人都感念着您的大恩大德，晚辈虽是与两位前辈第一次见面，但早就从画像上，见过两位的尊颜。”
...
nà wèi shì de biǎo qíng ， zūn jìng dào le jí chù ， què bìng wú tài duō wèi jù zhī sè 。
那卫士的表情，尊敬到了极处，却并无太多畏惧之色。
Various voices echoed in his ears as the fame of Lin Xuan and Mo'er was no small matter. Some bowed respectfully, others came to pay their respects out of admiration, and even some had the audacity to ask if they could become disciples.
zhè jǐ gè yuè lái ， lín xuān xíng xiá zhàng yì ， jiù rén wú shù ， rén rén dōu shuō zhè wèi dù jié qī lǎo zǔ xīn dì shàn liáng ， xìng gé cí hé ， dāng rán bù yòng dān xīn ， wú duān dé zuì tā le 。
这几个月来，林轩行侠仗义，救人无数，人人都说这位渡劫期老祖心地善良，姓格慈和，当然不用担心，无端得罪他了。
Lin Xuan, despite having experienced countless situations on his path to cultivation, couldn’t help but gape in surprise at how to respond.
“ zì jǐ de míng qì ， jū rán dào le zhè bān dì bù 。”
“自己的名气，居然到了这般地步。”
The ancients said that empty fame can weigh one down. This saying proved true.
zhè duì lín xuān lái shuō ， dǎo shì yì wài zhī xǐ ， yòu yǔ nà wèi shì duì dá jǐ jù ， zhè cái xiàng qián fāng huī hóng de jiàn zhù zǒu qù 。
这对林轩来说，倒是意外之喜，又与那卫士对答几句，这才像前方恢宏的建筑走去。
As for being called a great benefactor, Lin Xuan was embarrassed beyond measure.
zǒu jìn le yī kàn ， zhǐ jiàn tíng tái lóu gé ， gè zhǒng xíng mào de jiàn zhù ， nà shì shǔ bù shèng shǔ ， shuō lín cì zhì bǐ ， yě bù wèi guò 。
走近了一看，只见亭台楼阁，各种形貌的建筑，那是数不胜数，说鳞次栉比，也不为过。
Mo'er covered her mouth with her hand and smiled mischievously.
lín xuān yǔ yuè ér jì wèi yǐn cáng xíng jì ， yě méi yǒu gù yì shōu liǎn xiū wèi ， liǎng wèi dù jié qī lǎo zǔ tóng shí jià lín cǐ chù ， zì rán yǐn lái mù guāng wú shù 。
林轩与月儿既未隐藏行迹，也没有故意收敛修为，两位渡劫期老祖同时驾临此处，自然引来目光无数。
This girl wasn't as obedient as she used to be in the mortal world; she even dared to mock him.
zhòng xiū shì de mù guāng jiē jìng wèi yǐ jí ， bù shǎo rén de yǎn zhōng ， gèng shì háo bù yǎn shì de lù chū xiàn mù zhī yì 。
众修士的目光皆敬畏以极，不少人的眼中，更是毫不掩饰的露出羡慕之意。
But now that it had come to this, there was nothing Lin Xuan could do. He didn’t want to linger here and argue with everyone. Using his divine sense, he quickly located the teleportation array’s location.
yǔ tóng jiè què shí gāo shǒu wú shù ， dù jié qī cún zài ， shù liàng yě shì bù sú ， dàn nà shì xiāng duì lái shuō ， ruò shì xiǎng yī xiǎng ， yǔ tóng jiè yǒu duō shǎo xiū xiān zhě ， jiù zhī dào dù jié qī cún zài ， yī jiù shì fèng máo lín jiǎo le 。
雨桐界确实高手无数，渡劫期存在，数量也是不俗，但那是相对来说，若是想一想，雨桐界有多少修仙者，就知道渡劫期存在，依旧是凤毛麟角了。
With a burst of green light, he enveloped Mo'er and flew towards the building containing the teleportation array.
yě jiù nán guài lín xuān yǔ yuè ér huì rú cǐ yǐn rén guān zhù ， gèng bú yào shuō ， yuè ér suī méi yǒu huī fù chéng ā xiū luó ， dàn yī jiù míng yàn bù kě fāng wù ， xiū xiān jiè měi mào de xiān zi suī shǔ bù shèng shǔ ， dàn néng yǔ yuè ér xiāng jiào de ， què yě shì bù duō 。
也就难怪林轩与月儿会如此引人关注，更不要说，月儿虽没有恢复成阿修罗，但依旧明艳不可方物，修仙界美貌的仙子虽数不胜数，但能与月儿相较的，却也是不多。
The disappointed cultivators behind them couldn't chase after them, knowing that dealing with a late-stage Immortal Ancestor could be dangerous. They watched as they disappeared into the distance.
yú shì ， hěn kuài jiù yǒu rén rèn chū tā liǎ de shēn fèn lái le 。
于是，很快就有人认出他俩的身份来了。
Meanwhile, Lin Xuan’s flight was swift; in no time, he arrived at a hundred miles away and stopped before an imposing building.
“ shì lín qián bèi ！”
“是林前辈！”
There were fewer people here, but those entering and exiting had formidable strength. This wasn’t unusual—low-level cultivators wouldn’t have enough crystals to use teleportation arrays.
“ bù cuò ， guǒ rán shì dà shàn rén lái dào zhè lǐ le 。”
“不错，果然是大善人来到这里了。”
Lin Xuan and Mo'er's arrival caused another commotion. His fame in the boundless sea was indeed significant. Lin Xuan found it tiresome and took Mo'er to the teleportation array, where he handed over some crystals. Soon, both of them vanished within a layer of spiritual light. (To be continued.)
They say that good deeds don't leave the door, but bad ones travel a thousand miles. This saying is somewhat one-sided.
Indeed, if one does many good deeds and helps those in need, they can gain significant fame within a short time.
Lin Xuan's situation was no exception. Over these few months, he had saved countless lives. While some of the people he helped repaid his kindness with malice, most of the cultivators were grateful for his aid.

...
The boundless sea stretched vast and wide, even with Lin Xuan and Mo'er's extraordinary concealment techniques, it would still take several years to cross. Though this time wasn't significant for them as cultivators, Lin Xuan didn’t have much interest in lingering here any longer.
After more than three months since he left Cloud Mist Island, a piece of land appeared ahead. However, upon closer inspection, they found that it was just another larger island rather than the edge of the boundless sea.

Lin Xuan waved his sleeve, and a jade cylinder engraved with a map of the sea flew out. He grasped it and injected his divine sense into it. After a moment, he looked up with a delighted expression on his face.
"Master, what's wrong?"
"This is Sea Ape Island. The teleportation array to leave the boundless sea is right here."
