yī shí jiān hōng míng shēng dà zuò ， yuán běn yǒu xiē hūn àn de tiān sè ， bèi diàn guāng yìng chéng le cǎn bái zhī sè ， fàng yǎn wàng qù ， jiù yǔ bái zhòu chà bu duō 。
一时间轰鸣声大做，原本有些昏暗的天色，被电光映成了惨白之色，放眼望去，就与白昼差不多。
The thunderous roar echoed, and the originally dim sky was illuminated by lightning, turning a ghastly white. From afar, it looked almost like midday.
tiān dì yuán qì ， biàn dé hùn luàn yǐ jí ， gāng fēng sì qǐ ， dào chù dōu shì yì sàn de fǎ zé zhī lì 。
天地元气，变得混乱以极，罡风四起，到处都是逸散的法则之力。
The primordial energy of heaven and earth had become incredibly chaotic, with fierce gales sweeping everywhere, and scattered rule powers permeating the surroundings.
zhè zuì hòu yī bō tiān jié de wēi lì ， nán yǐ yòng yán yǔ shuō dé qīng chǔ 。
这最后一波天劫的威力，难以用言语说得清楚。
The power of this final wave of heavenly tribulation was beyond description in words. And now, they were at the most critical moment.
ér rú jīn yì dào le zuì guān jiàn de shí kè 。
而如今亦到了最关键的时刻。
If he could survive it, he would step into the后期 stage of tribulation passage, free from the constraints of lifespan, able to soar among the clouds and swim across the seas, living as long as heaven itself.
chēng guò ， zé mài rù dù jié hòu qī ， cóng cǐ méi yǒu shòu yuán de shù fù ， tiān gāo rèn niǎo fēi ， hǎi kuò píng yú yóu ， yǔ tiān dì tóng shòu 。
撑过，则迈入渡劫后期，从此没有寿元的束缚，天高任鸟飞，海阔凭鱼游，与天地同寿。
Should he falter even slightly, all his efforts would be in vain; his soul would descend into the netherworld with no chance of reincarnation.
ruò shì shāo yǒu xiè dài ， yī qiè nǔ lì dōu jiāng huà wéi wū yǒu ， hún rù jiǔ yōu ， lián zhòng jìn lún huí de jī huì dōu méi yǒu 。
若是稍有懈怠，一切努力都将化为乌有，魂入九幽，连重进轮回的机会都没有。
Heaven and hell were just a hair's breadth apart. The greater the reward, the greater the risk one had to take.
tiān táng yǔ dì yù jǐn yí xiàn zhī gé ， yǒu duō dà de shōu huò ， yuán běn jiù yào mào duō dà fēng xiǎn de 。
天堂与地狱仅一线之隔，有多大的收获，原本就要冒多大风险的。
Immortality!
cháng shēng bù lǎo ！
长生不老！
This was an irresistible temptation for all living beings, but across the Three Realms, countless entities had embarked on the path of cultivation throughout history, yet only a few could truly reach this stage.
zhè duì wàn wù shēng líng lái shuō ， dōu shì jué dà de yòu huò ， kě fàng yǎn sān jiè ， zòng héng jīn gǔ ， zǒu shàng xiū xiān zhī lù de cún zài bù jì qí shù ， kě zhēn zhèng néng gòu dào dá zhè ge jìng de ， què shì qū zhǐ kě shǔ 。
这对万物生灵来说，都是绝大的诱惑，可放眼三界，纵横今古，走上修仙之路的存在不计其数，可真正能够到达这个境的，却是屈指可数。
Would the Moon Illusion Moth become another lucky one?
huàn yuè é ， huì bú huì chéng wéi yòu yí gè xìng yùn zhě ？
幻月蛾，会不会成为又一个幸运者？
After so many years of effort, would it bring about rich rewards or lead to its soul's destruction?
zhè me duō nián de nǔ lì ， jiū jìng huì huàn huí fēng hòu de shōu huò ， hái shì cóng cǐ hún fēi pò sàn diào ne ？
这么多年的努力，究竟会换回丰厚的收获，还是从此魂飞魄散掉呢？
No one knew for sure.
méi yǒu rén qīng chǔ 。
没有人清楚。
Although Lin Xuan was optimistic about its tribulation passage, he couldn't say with certainty that he had full confidence.
lín xuān suī rán duì tā dù jié ， bào zhe jiào wéi lè guān de tài dù ， dàn yě bù gǎn shuō xìn xīn shí zú 。
林轩虽然对它渡劫，抱着较为乐观的态度，但也不敢说信心十足。
Passing this final hurdle required not only strength but also a certain amount of luck—essentially, the right combination of timing and favorable circumstances.
zhè zuì hòu yī guān néng fǒu dù guò ， bù dàn xū yào shí lì ， hái xū yào yí dìng de yùn qì ， jiǎn dān de shuō ， jiù shì jī yuán qiǎo hé ， tiān shí dì lì rén hé quē yī bù kě 。
这最后一关能否度过，不但需要实力，还需要一定的运气，简单的说，就是机缘巧合，天时地利人和缺一不可。
Boom!
hōng ！
轰！
The crackling sound of lightning continued to bombard his ears, and under the raging electric light, the tiny Moon Illusion Moth appeared helpless.
léi diàn de bào liè shēng hái zài bù tíng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， zài sì lüè de diàn guāng xià xiǎo xiǎo de huàn yuè é shì xiǎn de nà yàng de wú zhù 。
雷电的爆裂声还在不停传入耳朵，在肆掠的电光下小小的幻月蛾是显得那样的无助。
Yet, no matter how fierce the heavenly tribulation was, it always managed to find a way out. Slowly but surely, time passed, and finally, after enduring this last, most terrifying wave of the tribulation, it succeeded.
kě jí biàn tiān jié zài měng è ， tā zǒng néng gòu huà xiǎn wéi yí ， jiù zhè yàng ， shí jiān màn màn tuī yí ， tā zhōng yú jiāng zhè zuì hòu ， yě shì zuì kě pà de yī bō tiān jié chēng le guò qù 。
可即便天劫再猛恶，它总能够化险为夷，就这样，时间慢慢推移，它终于将这最后，也是最可怕的一波天劫撑了过去。
Primordial energy surged into its body, forming a radiant light ball that enveloped the Moon Illusion Moth, creating an aura that seemed to block divine sense. The moment contact was made with the light, it was bounced back.
tiān dì yuán qì ， bèi tā fēng kuáng de xī rù shēn tǐ ， diǎn diǎn líng guāng 。 sè cǎi xuàn lì ， tòu chū gǔ piáo ér shén mì de qì xī 。
天地元气，被它疯狂的吸入身体，点点灵光。色彩绚丽，透出古朴而神秘的气息。
"Hmm?"
zuì hòu ， suǒ yǒu de líng guāng jù jí ， huà wèi yì zhí jìng zhàng xǔ de guāng qiú ， bāo guǒ zhù huàn yuè é de shēn tǐ ， méng méng lóng lóng ， duì shén shí jìng yǒu zǔ dǎng de xiào guǒ ， gāng yī yǔ líng guāng jiē chù ， jiù bèi fǎn tán huí lái le 。
最后，所有的灵光聚集，化为一直径丈许的光球，包裹住幻月蛾的身体，朦朦胧胧，对神识竟有阻挡的效果，刚一与灵光接触，就被反弹回来了。
Lin Xuan felt somewhat surprised and immediately summoned his Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eye without hesitation.
“ yí ？”
“咦？”
But even this didn't work.
lín xuān lüè gǎn cuò è ， shāo yī sī suǒ 。 háo bù yóu yù de shī zhǎn chū tiān fèng shén mù 。
林轩略感错愕，稍一思索。毫不犹豫的施展出天凤神目。
This time, Lin Xuan was genuinely astonished. He knew his own abilities well, especially now that he had advanced to后期 stage of tribulation passage.
jìng yě méi yǒu xiào guǒ 。
竟也没有效果。
The power of the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Eye had naturally increased as well.
zhè yī cì ， lín xuān shì zhēn de yǒu xiē jīng yà le 。
这一次，林轩是真的有些惊讶了。
Even compared to a real phoenix, the difference was minimal. A mere layer of light blocked him from seeing through it. Could this be...
zì jǐ de shén tōng zì jǐ zuì qīng chǔ ， yóu qí shì rú jīn ， zì jǐ yǐ jīn fēi xī bǐ ， yǐ jìn rù le dù jié hòu qī 。
自己的神通自己最清楚，尤其是如今，自己已今非昔比，已进入了渡劫后期。
Lin Xuan's mind began to form some guesses. He was well-traveled and remembered reading in an ancient text that spirit insects' cultivation path was exceptionally difficult. Ordinary beasts could open their spiritual intelligence at the婴 stage, even shedding their beastly forms.
tiān fèng shén mù dì wēi lì ， zì rán yě jiù shuǐ zhǎng chuán gāo le 。
天凤神目的威力，自然也就水涨船高了。
However, for a spirit insect like the Moon Illusion Moth, it would need to reach the分神 stage before opening its spiritual intelligence and transforming into human form.
jí biàn yǔ zhēn zhèng de fèng huáng xiāng bǐ ， chā jù yě biàn dé yǒu xiàn yǐ jí ， xiǎo xiǎo de yī céng líng guāng zǔ gé ， zì jǐ jū rán bù néng kàn pò 。 nán dào shuō ……
即便与真正的凤凰相比，差距也变得有限以极，小小的一层灵光阻隔，自己居然不能看破。难道说……
Such conditions were almost unattainable.
lín xuān xīn zhōng yǐn yǐn yǒu le yī xiē cāi cè ， tā bì jìng jiàn wén guǎng bó ， jì de céng jīng zài mǒu běn gǔ jí shàng jiàn guò ， shuō líng chóng xiū xiān 。 yóu qí jiān nán ， pǔ tōng de yāo zú ， yuán yīng qī jiù néng jiāng líng zhì kāi qǐ ， hái néng tùn qù yāo shēn 。 huà wéi rén xíng 。
林轩心中隐隐有了一些猜测，他毕竟见闻广博，记得曾经在某本古籍上见过，说灵虫修仙。尤其艰难，普通的妖族，元婴期就能将灵智开启，还能褪去妖身。化为人形。
Across the Three Realms, throughout history, this Moon Illusion Moth was undoubtedly the first.
rán ér líng chóng xiǎng yào zǒu dào zhè yī bù ， zhì shǎo yào děng dào fēn shén qī 。
然而灵虫想要走到这一步，至少要等到分神期。
Was it now reshaping its body?
zhè hái shì zhǐ de pǔ tōng chóng zú ， ruò shì jù yǒu shàng gǔ mán huāng xuè tǒng de qí chóng 。 nà tiáo jiàn gèng wéi kē kè 。
这还是指的普通虫族，若是具有上古蛮荒血统的奇虫。那条件更为苛刻。
Lin Xuan pondered. There was nothing he could do but wait quietly.
bǐ rú shuō huàn yuè é ， kāi qǐ líng zhì suī rán dòng xuán jiù kě yǐ ， dàn xiǎng yào tùn qù yāo shēn ， huà zuò rén xíng ， bì xū mài rù dù jié hòu qī 。
比如说幻月蛾，开启灵智虽然洞玄就可以，但想要褪去妖身，化作人形，必须迈入渡劫后期。
Time slowly passed.
zhè yàng de tiáo jiàn ， jiǎn zhí kě wàng ér bù kě jí 。
这样的条件，简直可望而不可及。
Though the process of重塑 one's physical form seemed complex, it didn't require much time.
fàng yǎn sān jiè ， zòng héng jīn gǔ ， yǎn qián de huàn yuè é ， jué duì shì dì yí gè 。
放眼三界，纵横今古，眼前的幻月蛾，绝对是第一个。
In a short while, just as a tea cup would last, it was sufficient.
yǎn qián ， tā shì zài zhòng sù xíng tǐ me ？
眼前，它是在重塑形体么？
...
lín xuān rú cǐ zhè bān de cāi xiǎng zhe 。
林轩如此这般的猜想着。
At this moment, the primordial energy had gradually calmed down, yet the scene before his eyes was still in ruins, with hundreds of miles flattened by that terrifying heavenly tribulation.
rú jīn ， shén me yě bù néng zuò ， jìng jìng děng dài ， jiù shì zuì hǎo de jié guǒ 。
如今，什么也不能做，静静等待，就是最好的结果。
Suddenly, a clear sound entered his ears.
shí jiān màn màn liú shì 。
时间慢慢流逝。
Crisp and serene, accompanied by a powerful spiritual pressure descending from the heavens.
zhòng sù ròu shēn shuō lái fán fù ， qí shí huā fèi bù liǎo duō jiǔ de gōng fu 。
重塑肉身说来繁复，其实花费不了多久的功夫。
Even Mo'er's face turned pale at this pressure; it was beyond description how strong it was. Indeed, it was 100%后期 stage of tribulation passage without doubt.
duǎn duǎn yī zhǎn chá de shí jiān ， jiù yǐ jīng chōng zú 。
短短一盏茶的时间，就已经充足。
Then, a gentle breeze blew, and the dazzling light gradually faded away. The Moon Illusion Moth vanished, replaced by an exceptionally beautiful young woman.
……
……
She had flawless skin like jade. Lin Xuan had seen many beauties on his path to cultivation, but few could match her beauty.
cǐ shí ， tiān dì yuán qì yǐ jiàn jiàn píng fù ， dàn fàng yǎn wàng qù ， yī jiù shì mǎn mù chuāng yí ， fāng yuán shù bǎi lǐ ， dōu bèi nà kě pà de tiān jié yí wèi le píng dì 。
此时，天地元气已渐渐平复，但放眼望去，依旧是满目疮痍，方圆数百里，都被那可怕的天劫夷为了平地。
Mo'er was naturally beyond comparison, as was Fragrant Girl. As for the others, Cloud Fairy or Yuan Yu were slightly less striking in comparison.
tū rán ， qīng míng shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
突然，清鸣声传入耳朵。
Indeed, their beauty and demeanor were incomparable. Mo'er was graceful, Fragrant Girl lively, and Cloud Fairy ethereal.
qīng cuì ， píng hé ， yǔ zhī bàn suí de ， què shì yī gǔ qiáng dà de líng yā cóng tiān ér luò 。
清脆，平和，与之伴随的，却是一股强大的灵压从天而落。
The Moon Illusion Moth before him somewhat resembled a nine-tailed fox spirit, giving off an aura of mystery but also a sense of emptiness.
jí biàn shì yuè ér ， yě qiào liǎn biàn sè ， nà líng yā zhī qiáng ， nán yǐ yòng yán yǔ shuō dé qīng chǔ ， guǒ rán shì bǎi fēn zhī bǎi de dù jié hòu qī méi cuò 。
即便是月儿，也俏脸变色，那灵压之强，难以用言语说得清楚，果然是百分之百的渡劫后期没错。
"Congratulations on your successful advancement; you have now entered the后期 stage of tribulation passage."
suí hòu ， yī zhèn fēng chuī guò ， nà yào mù de líng guāng yě jiàn jiàn shōu liǎn le ， huàn yuè é zōng jì quán wú ， qǔ ér dài zhī de shì yī měi mào yì cháng de shào nǚ fú xiàn ér chū 。
随后，一阵风吹过，那耀目的灵光也渐渐收敛了，幻月蛾踪迹全无，取而代之的是一美貌异常的少女浮现而出。
If another cultivator had heard this, they would be left speechless. But Lin Xuan was no ordinary person.
bīng jī yù fū ， lín xuān zì cóng tà shàng xiū xiān zhī lù ， jiàn guò de měi rén nà shì shǔ bù shèng shǔ ， rán ér néng yǔ yǎn qián zhè měi mào nǚ hái ér xiāng pì měi de ， què bù duō 。
冰肌玉肤，林轩自从踏上修仙之路，见过的美人那是数不胜数，然而能与眼前这美貌女孩儿相媲美的，却不多。
A smile played on his lips as he regained composure in an instant.
yuè ér zì rán bú yòng shuō ， xiāng ér dāng rán yě suàn yí gè 。
月儿自然不用说，香儿当然也算一个。
"You?"
qí yú de ， biàn shì yún zhōng xiān zi ， huò zhě yuàn yuàn yǔ tā xiāng bǐ ， dōu yào shāo wēi xùn sè 。
其余的，便是云中仙子，或者媛媛与她相比，都要稍微逊色。
The Moon Illusion Moth turned her gaze and realized there were two cultivators beside her.
ń ， yě bù néng zhè yàng shuō ， jǐ nǚ de měi mào yǔ qì zhì ， shì wán quán bù tóng de 。
嗯，也不能这样说，几女的美貌与气质，是完全不同的。
She couldn't hide the surprise on her beautiful face: "How did you find me here?"
yuè ér qīng lì ， xiāng ér huó pō ， yún zhōng xiān zi bù shí rén jiān yān huǒ 。
月儿清丽，香儿活泼，云中仙子不食人间烟火。
It wasn't surprising she was shocked. As they say, a cunning rabbit has three holes; choosing such a secret lair required much effort.
zhì yú yuàn yuàn ， zé yīng zī bó bó ， shuō jīn guó bù ràng xū méi yě méi yǒu cuò 。
至于媛媛，则英姿勃勃，说巾帼不让须眉也没有错。
She never imagined that formidable enemies surrounded her.
yǎn qián de huàn yuè é ， dào yǔ jiǔ wěi tiān hú yǒu jǐ fēn xiāng sì zhī chù ， gěi rén yī zhǒng méng lóng měi ， dàn yòu duō le jǐ fēn kōng líng de gǎn chù 。
眼前的幻月蛾，倒与九尾天狐有几分相似之处，给人一种朦胧美，但又多了几分空灵的感触。
Thinking of how she had just passed through the tribulation, if they had harbored ill intentions...
“ gōng xǐ dào yǒu chéng gōng jìn jí ， mài rù le dù jié hòu qī 。”
“恭喜道友成功晋级，迈入了渡劫后期。”
This thought made her break out in cold sweat and sigh with relief after patting her chest. But she also felt reassured; since they hadn't taken advantage of her vulnerable state earlier, it was unlikely they would harm her.
miàn duì rú cǐ měi nǚ ， ruò huàn yī míng xiū xiān zhě ， fēi kàn dé mù dèng kǒu dāi bù kě ， rán ér lín xuān yòu qǐ shì xún cháng rén kě yǐ bǐ nǐ ne ？
面对如此美女，若换一名修仙者，非看得目瞪口呆不可，然而林轩又岂是寻常人可以比拟呢？
Her expression softened: "Why have the two of you come to seek me?"
zuǐ jiǎo biān lù chū yī sī xiào róng ， duǎn duǎn de shùn xī ， liǎn sè yǐ biàn dé píng jìng wú bǐ 。
嘴角边露出一丝笑容，短短的瞬息，脸色已变得平静无比。
"Seeking you for a reason?"
“ shì nǐ ？”
“是你？”
Lin Xuan smiled: "I came here with a purpose indeed. First, I congratulate you on your successful advancement; secondly, I want to settle accounts."
huàn yuè é mù guāng zhuǎn guò ， zhè shí hòu cái fā xiàn páng biān jū rán zhàn yǒu liǎng míng xiū xiān zhě 。
幻月蛾目光转过，这时候才发现旁边居然站有两名修仙者。
"Settle accounts with me?"
ér qiě duì zì jǐ lái shuō ， hái shì wú bǐ de shùn xī ， tā jué měi de miàn róng shàng háo bù yǎn shì de lù chū jǐ fēn chī jīng zhī sè ：“ nǐ men liǎng gè ， shì zěn me zhǎo dào zhè lǐ lái de ？”
而且对自己来说，还是无比的瞬息，她绝美的面容上毫不掩饰的露出几分吃惊之色：“你们两个，是怎么找到这里来的？”
The Moon Illusion Moth was stunned, her expression filled with surprise.
yě nán guài tā gǎn dào jīng è ， sú huà shuō jiǎo tù sān kū ， zhè mì mì dòng fǔ xuǎn zài hé chù ， tā kě shì huā fèi le dà liàng de gōng fu 。
也难怪她感到惊愕，俗话说狡兔三窟，这秘密洞府选在何处，她可是花费了大量的功夫。
"Yes, cultivating the Jade Net Bees took great effort from me, and now not even one is left after being taken by you. The outcome was a futile endeavor. Emotionally and rationally, I should seek compensation from you; who else?"
wàn wàn bù céng xiǎng ， jū rán yǒu qiáng dí huán shì zài cè 。
万万不曾想，居然有强敌环视在侧。
"What do you want then?"
xiǎng xiǎng gāng cái dù jié de shí hòu ， tā men ruò shì jū xīn pǒ cè ， zì jǐ ……
想想刚才渡劫的时候，他们若是居心叵测，自己……
Curiosity shone in her eyes. Although she didn't have Mo'er to deter Lin Xuan's actions, she had advanced to后期 stage of tribulation passage.
yī niàn zhì cǐ ， tā jué de bèi hòu lěng hàn lín lí ， pāi pāi xiōng kǒu hòu pà bù yǐ 。
一念至此，她觉得背后冷汗淋漓，拍拍胸口后怕不已。
This young man wasn't weak, but she was no pushover either.
dàn yě sōng le kǒu qì ， liǎng rén gāng cái jì rán méi yǒu chèn rén zhī wēi ， nà yīng gāi bú huì duì zì jǐ bù lì ， fǒu zé qǐ bù duō cǐ yī jǔ 。
但也松了口气，两人刚才既然没有趁人之危，那应该不会对自己不利，否则岂不多此一举。
Even if they became enemies and she lost, he wouldn't be able to stop her from leaving.
The thunderous roar echoed, and the originally dim sky was illuminated by lightning, turning a ghastly white. From afar, it looked almost like midday.
The primordial energy of heaven and earth had become incredibly chaotic, with fierce gales sweeping everywhere, and scattered rule powers permeating the surroundings.
The power of this final wave of heavenly tribulation was beyond description in words. And now, they were at the most critical moment.
If he could survive it, he would step into the后期 stage of tribulation passage, free from the constraints of lifespan, able to soar among the clouds and swim across the seas, living as long as heaven itself.
Should he falter even slightly, all his efforts would be in vain; his soul would descend into the netherworld with no chance of reincarnation.
Heaven and hell were just a hair's breadth apart. The greater the reward, the greater the risk one had to take.

This was an irresistible temptation for all living beings, but across the Three Realms, countless entities had embarked on the path of cultivation throughout history, yet only a few could truly reach this stage.
Would the Moon Illusion Moth become another lucky one?
After so many years of effort, would it bring about rich rewards or lead to its soul's destruction?
No one knew for sure.
