岁月如梭，一转眼，已到仙盟大会举行的时间。水印广告测试水印广告测试

yīn wèi zhè ge yuán gù ， yuán běn rén jì xī shǎo de běi dì ， yě tū rán yī xià zi rè nào qǐ lái le 。
因为这个缘故，原本人迹稀少的北地，也突然一下子热闹起来了。
The originally sparsely populated northern region suddenly became bustling due to this event.
xiān dào méng chéng lì ， shì yǐ yún yǐn zōng 、 hēi fèng gǔ děng sì jiā wéi zhǔ ， chú cǐ yǐ wài ， hái yǒu dà dà xiǎo xiǎo de zōng mén yuē jìn bǎi zhī shù 。
仙道盟成立，是以云隐宗、黑凤谷等四家为主，除此以外，还有大大小小的宗门约近百之数。
The Immortal Dao Alliance was formed primarily by four major sects: Cloud Concealment Sect, Black Phoenix Valley, and so on. Besides these, there were nearly a hundred smaller sects and families.
zhè xiē nián ， yīn wèi qún lóng wú shǒu ， nài lóng jiè de xiū shì ， yāo zú ， jiē bèi yù wài tiān mó qī fù dé hěn le ， ér zhè shù yuè de gōng fu ， xiān dào méng jǐ dà zōng pài sì miàn chū jī ， dào ràng zhěng gè xiū xiān jiè yī sǎo tuí fèi zhī qì ， zhōng yú yáng méi tǔ qì 。
这些年，因为群龙无首，鼐龙界的修士，妖族，皆被域外天魔欺负得狠了，而这数月的功夫，仙道盟几大宗派四面出击，倒让整个修仙界一扫颓废之气，终于扬眉吐气。
In recent years, because of the lack of a leader, the Dragon Domains' cultivators and demons had been bullied severely by the域外天魔 (Outland Celestial Devils). However, in just a few months, several major sects from the Immortal Dao Alliance launched attacks on all sides, finally reviving the spirit of the cultivation world.
suǒ yǐ chú le cān yù xiān dào méng de zōng mén jiā zú ， qí yú dà xiǎo shì lì ， míng lǐ àn lǐ ， dào yě pài le bù shǎo rén qián lái guān lǐ 。
所以除了参与仙道盟的宗门家族，其余大小势力，明里暗里，倒也派了不少人前来观礼。
Thus, apart from the families and sects participating in the Immortal Dao Alliance, many other minor forces sent representatives to observe the proceedings. After all, this event concerned the future of the entire cultivation world. If the Immortal Dao Alliance truly had great potential, they wouldn't hesitate to join.
bì jìng ， zhè guān xì zhe zhěng gè xiū xiān jiè de qián tú 。
毕竟，这关系着整个修仙界的前途。
Where there are people, there is江湖 (a metaphor for society). The originally barren northern region suddenly became incredibly lively.
ruò xiān dào méng zhēn jù yǒu mò dà qián lì ， tā men yě bù lìn sè jiā rù dì 。
若仙道盟真具有莫大潜力，他们也不吝啬加入地。
However, behind this prosperity lay hidden currents.
yǒu rén de dì fāng jiù yǒu jiāng hú ， yuán běn pín jí de běi dì ， yī xià zi biàn dé rè nào yǐ jí 。
有人的地方就有江湖，原本贫瘠的北地，一下子变得热闹以极。
The position of the alliance leader naturally became a coveted prize if the Immortal Dao Alliance was worth looking forward to. Who wouldn't want to vie for supremacy and become the leader of all?
rán ér fán huá de bèi hòu ， què yě àn cháo xiōng yǒng 。
然而繁华的背后，却也暗潮汹涌。
A group from Cloud Concealment Sect arrived at the northernmost part of the Dragon Domains under such circumstances.
xiān dào méng ruò shì zhí de qī dài ， nà méng zhǔ yī zhí ， zì rán yě jiù chéng le xiāng mó mó ， shuí bù xiǎng wèn dǐng ， chéng wéi tǒng lǐng qún xióng de rén wù ？
仙道盟若是值得期待，那盟主一职，自然也就成了香馍馍，谁不想问鼎，成为统领群雄的人物？
East Prosperous Kingdom was the only nation in this cold northern region.
yún yǐn zōng yī xíng rén ， biàn shì zài zhè yàng de bèi jǐng xià ， lái dào nài lóng jiè de jí běi zhī suǒ 。
云隐宗一行人，便是在这样的背景下，来到鼐龙界的极北之所。
While the spirit world had vast areas, many cities were primarily inhabited by cultivators. However, few people had seen a country built by cultivators.
dōng yù guó nǎi shì zhè běi fāng kǔ hán zhī dì wéi yī de guó dù 。
东裕国乃是这北方苦寒之地唯一的国度。
East Prosperous Kingdom was one such place.
líng jiè miàn jī guǎng bó ， yǐ xiū shì wéi zhǔ de xiān chéng hěn duō ， rán ér xiū xiān zhě suǒ jiàn lì de guó jiā què shǎo yǒu rén jiàn guò 。
灵界面积广博，以修士为主的仙城很多，然而修仙者所建立的国家却少有人见过。
Although it was called a cultivator's kingdom, the entire country wasn't devoid of ordinary humans. In fact, the population was predominantly made up of ordinary humans, but the proportion of cultivators was very high. Even ordinary humans were martially inclined, and there were countless experts at various levels. The number of masters was even greater.
dōng yù guó biàn shì le 。
东裕国便是了。
Those who wished to rise through the ranks needed to be cultivators. As for the emperor of East Prosperous Kingdom, he was a late-stage渡劫 (transcendation) veteran. Ordinary royal family members weren't bound by bloodlines but by strength. Several princes had different levels of cultivation, all being渡劫 stage experts.
shuō shì xiū shì zhī guó ， dàn zhěng gè guó jiā dāng rán bù kě néng jiù méi yǒu fán rén le 。
说是修士之国，但整个国家当然不可能就没有凡人了。
East Prosperous Kingdom's power could rival the top-tier sects.
qià qià xiāng fǎn ， dōng yù guó de rén kǒu gòu chéng ， yī jiù shì yǐ fán rén wéi zhǔ ， dàn xiū shì de bǐ lì ， yì shì fēi cháng gāo de 。
恰恰相反，东裕国的人口构成，依旧是以凡人为主，但修士的比例，亦是非常高的。
The emperor of this kingdom was also very interested in the Immortal Dao Alliance since the conference was originally held on their territory.
ér qiě jí biàn shì pǔ tōng de fán rén ， yě hěn hǎo wǔ 。
而且即便是普通的凡人，也很好武。
As the conference approached, East Prosperous Kingdom was filled with cultivators from afar. There were human cultivators and high-ranking demons as well. The number of sects, families, and individual practitioners was countless; it was truly a mix of fish and dragons.
tiān dào gāo shǒu céng chū bù qióng 。 zōng shī jí bié de gāo shǒu ， shù liàng jiù gèng duō 。
天道高手层出不穷。宗师级别的高手，数量就更多。
The place was bustling. Such grand events in the cultivation world were rare. Before the Immortal Dao Alliance Conference began, many cultivators set up stalls to trade materials and treasures, making everyone happy.
xiǎng yào chū jiàng rù xiàng de huà ， gèng shì fēi xiū xiān zhě mò shǔ 。
想要出将入相的话，更是非修仙者莫属。
Of all the markets, Moonlight City was the largest. It was one of the most important cities in the northern part of East Prosperous Kingdom and also the venue for this conference. Now it had gathered cultivators and demons from all directions, reaching unprecedented prosperity.
zhì yú dōng yù guó de huáng dì ， gèng shì yī dù jié hòu qī de lǎo guài wù 。
至于东裕国的皇帝，更是一渡劫后期的老怪物。
Three days before the opening of the Immortal Dao Alliance Conference, two streaks of light flew towards Moonlight City from over a hundred miles away.
ér pǔ tōng huáng zú 。 yě bú shì yǐ xuè yuán wèi niǔ dài 。 ér shì yǐ shí lì lùn yīng xióng ， jǐ wèi wáng yé 。 jìng jiè suī gè bù xiāng tóng ， dàn wú yī lì wài ， dōu shì dù jié jí bié de dà néng rén wù 。
而普通皇族。也不是以血缘为纽带。而是以实力论英雄，几位王爷。境界虽各不相同，但无一例外，都是渡劫级别的大能人物。
If someone had good eyesight, they could see that these were two young male cultivators. Both were in their twenties.
dōng yù guó de shí lì ， zú yǐ tóng zuì dǐng jí de zōng mén xiāng bǐ 。
东裕国的实力，足以同最顶级的宗门相比。
However, there was a difference: the one on the left looked handsome, while the one on the right dressed plainly.
duì xiān dào méng 。 gāi guó huáng dì ， tóng yàng hěn gǎn xìng qù ， xiān méng dà huì ， yuán běn jiù shì jiè tā men de dì pán jǔ xíng dì 。
对仙道盟。该国皇帝，同样很感兴趣，仙盟大会，原本就是借他们的地盘举行地。
They were both from Cloud Concealment Sect. The one on the left was a young man named Long, and the other was Lin Xuan.
rú jīn ， jù lí huì qī yǐ jìn ， dōng yù guó suí chù kě jiàn wài lái de xiū xiān zhě 。
如今，距离会期已近，东裕国随处可见外来的修仙者。
The two came here for the Immortal Dao Alliance Conference.
jì yǒu rén lèi xiū shì ， yì bù fá gāo jiē yāo zú 。 zōng mén 、 jiā zú ， sàn xiū ， nán yǐ jì shù ， shuō yú lóng hùn zá 。 nà shì méi yǒu yì diǎn kuā zhāng de 。
既有人类修士，亦不乏高阶妖族。宗门、家族，散修，难以计数，说鱼龙混杂。那是没有一点夸张的。
According to protocol, as a major force in the alliance, they shouldn't have come so humbly; they should have brought hundreds of disciples with them. However, given Lin Xuan's personality, he thought this would be too troublesome. Hundreds of low-level disciples wouldn't make much difference in the struggle for the alliance leader. It was better to keep things simple and just bring his senior brother.
rè nào yǐ jí ， xiū xiān jiè yǐ hěn shǎo yǒu zhè yàng de shèng shì ， xiān méng dà huì shàng wèi kāi shǐ ， zhòng xiū shì jiù xiān nài bú zhù jì mò ， zài gè chù bǎi tān kāi qǐ fāng shì lái le 。
热闹以极，修仙界已很少有这样的盛事，仙盟大会尚未开始，众修士就先耐不住寂寞，在各处摆摊开起坊市来了。
As for the silver-eyed girl, the main headquarters needed someone to guard it. Although Qinxin had successfully advanced, she had gone through many trials during her cultivation. With Lin Xuan's help, her current level of cultivation wasn't yet stable, so she couldn't go out either; she still needed more time to retreat and refine.
hù tōng yǒu rú ， jiāo huàn cái liào bǎo wù ， hěn duō rén dōu yǒu shōu huò ， dào yě suàn shì jiē dà huān xǐ le 。
互通有如，交换材料宝物，很多人都有收获，倒也算是皆大欢喜了。
They arrived smoothly, and now they were only a few dozen miles away from Moonlight City. For their current cultivation levels, this distance was negligible.
ér qí zhōng fāng shì guī mó zuì dà de fēi nóng yuè chéng mò shǔ 。
而其中坊市规模最大的非濃月城莫属。
Suddenly, Lin Xuan's brows twitched, and the streak of light paused.
cǐ nǎi dōng yù guó běi bù ， zuì wèi zhòng yào de yī zuò chéng chí ， yì shì zhè cì xiān méng dà huì de jǔ bàn dì 。
此乃东裕国北部，最为重要的一座城池，亦是这次仙盟大会的举办地。
"Junior brother, what is it?"
rú jīn yǐ jīng huì jù le lái zì sì miàn bā fāng de xiū shì yǔ yāo zú ， fán róng dào wú yǐ fù jiā de dì bù 。
如今已经汇聚了来自四面八方的修士与妖族，繁荣到无以复加的地步。
The young man with the surname Long didn't notice anything amiss and asked curiously.
jù lí xiān méng dà huì kāi mù ， hái shèng xià sān tiān de gōng fu ， zhè tiān qīng chén ， yuǎn zài nóng yuè chéng shù shí wàn lǐ zhī wài ， zhèng yǒu liǎng dào dùn guāng ， bù huǎn bù jí de cháo zhe zhè biān fēi lái 。
距离仙盟大会开幕，还剩下三天的功夫，这天清晨，远在濃月城数十万里之外，正有两道遁光，不缓不急的朝着这边飞来。
"There seems to be a fight ahead. One of them looks familiar."
ruò shì yǒu rén yǎn lì bù cuò ， kě yǐ kàn qīng chǔ dùn guāng zhōng de shì liǎng míng róng mào nián qīng de nán xìng xiū xiān zhě 。
若是有人眼力不错，可以看清楚遁光中的是两名容貌年轻的男性修仙者。
Lin Xuan released his divine sense and said as such.
dōu zhǐ yǒu èr shí duō suì nián jì 。
都只有二十多岁年纪。
"Oh, so you have an old acquaintance? We can't just ignore this; let's go take a look."
rán ér suǒ bù tóng de shì ， zuǒ biān zhī rén ， róng mào shuài qì ， yòu biān de rén ， yī zhuó dǎ bàn què shì píng fán yǐ jí 。
然而所不同的是，左边之人，容貌帅气，右边的人，衣着打扮却是平凡以极。
"Agreed,"
tā men dōu shì yún yǐn zōng de xiū shì 。
他们都是云隐宗的修士。
Lin Xuan naturally had no objections. The two changed the direction of their streaks of light and flew towards where the fight was taking place.
zuǒ biān zhī rén shì lóng xìng shào nián ， yòu biān de ， zé shì lín xuān 。
左边之人是龙姓少年，右边的，则是林轩。
Not far away, they quickly approached the scene.
liǎng rén lái zhè lǐ ， zhèng shì wèi xiān méng dà huì ér lái 。
两人来这里，正是为仙盟大会而来。
There were three people engaged in combat. On the left was a woman with a delicate appearance, around twenty-seven or eight years old, dressed like a mature woman. Her cultivation level was formidable, at the peak of the Spirit Formation stage, just one step away from transcendation.
àn lǐ ， zuò wèi xiān méng zhōng de yī dà shì lì ， liǎng rén shì bù yīng gāi zěn me hán chěn dì ， zěn me yě yīng gāi dài shàng shù bǎi míng dì zǐ ， qián hū hòu yōng de lái dào cǐ chù 。
按理，做为仙盟中的一大势力，两人是不应该怎么寒碜地，怎么也应该带上数百名弟子，前呼后拥的来到此处。
On the right were a man and a woman—both demons.
dàn yǐ lín xuān de xìng gé ， què jué de zhè me zuò shí zài tài má fán le 。
但以林轩的性格，却觉得这么做实在太麻烦了。
The man was broad-shouldered and thick-waisted, wearing green robes with a furry body, making him look like a black bear demon.
jǐ bǎi míng dī jiē dì zǐ duì yú zhēng qiǎng méng zhǔ ， běn yě méi yǒu duō dà yòng chǔ ， nà hái bù rú yī qiè cóng jiǎn ， zì jǐ yǔ shī xiōng liǎng gè jiù hǎo le 。
几百名低阶弟子对于争抢盟主，本也没有多大用处，那还不如一切从简，自己与师兄两个就好了。
The woman on the right had some charm. Her cheeks and arms bore scales; it was hard to tell what kind of demon she was just by looking at her.
zhì yú yín tóng shào nǚ ， zǒng duò zěn me yě shì xū yào yǒu rén kān jiā ， ér qín xīn suī rán chéng gōng jìn jí ， dàn qī jiān yě shì lì jīng bō zhé ， suī yǒu lín xuān xiāng zhù ， dàn jìng jiè què yě hái méi yǒu wěn gù 。
至于银瞳少女，总舵怎么也是需要有人看家，而琴心虽然成功晋级，但期间也是历经波折，虽有林轩相助，但境界却也还没有稳固。
Both demons were also at the peak of the Spirit Formation stage, exuding shocking ferocity. Their magical treasures flew everywhere, and their other techniques kept coming, making the battle extremely intense.
suǒ yǐ yě bù yí wài chū ， xū yào jì xù bì guān xiū xíng yī duàn shí jiān de 。
所以也不宜外出，需要继续闭关修行一段时间的。
The cultivation world often saw bloodshed, but Lin Xuan usually wouldn't get involved in such trivial matters. However, this woman dressed as a young lady he recognized.
yī lù shùn lì ， rú jīn jù lí nóng yuè chéng yě zhǐ shèng xià shù shí wàn lǐ 。
一路顺利，如今距离濃月城也只剩下数十万里。
Lady Afan!
zhè diǎn jù lí ， duì yú èr rén de xiū wèi lái shuō ， zì rán bù zhí yī tí 。
这点距离，对于二人的修为来说，自然不值一提。
They had met once before when they went to Penglai Island for the wedding of Dragon Domains' True Man and Qianqian's True Lady. At that time, almost all the attendees were old monsters at the transcendation stage. There were only two Spirit Formation cultivators: Lin Xuan and this woman from Yun Family in Fengyuan County.
tū rán ， lín xuān méi shāo yī dòng ， dùn guāng yī liǎn ， tíng le xià lái 。
突然，林轩眉梢一动，遁光一敛，停了下来。
Yun Family's ancestors had a connection with Dragon Domains' True Man, but her cultivation level was also formidable. At that time, she left a deep impression on Lin Xuan.
“ shī dì ， zěn me le ？”
“师弟，怎么了？”
Now, after so many years, he had advanced to late-stage transcendation and even mastered the realm of cultivation, while this woman still remained stuck in her bottleneck.
lóng xìng shào nián bìng méi yǒu chá jué bù tuǒ ， shí fēn hào qí de shuō 。
龙姓少年并没有察觉不妥，十分好奇的说。
It wasn't surprising; advancing from Spirit Formation to transcendation was inherently difficult. In just a thousand years, Afan Yun hadn't progressed, which was understandable.
“ qián fāng yǒu rén zhēng dòu ， qí zhōng yí gè ， hǎo xiàng hái yǒu xiē yǎn shú 。”
“前方有人争斗，其中一个，好像还有些眼熟。”
In terms of strength, she could be considered one of the top cultivators at the Spirit Formation stage. However, the two demons weren't weak either. With their superior numbers, Afan Yun's situation became unfavorable.
Time passed swiftly, and before long, it was the time for the Immortal Alliance Conference. Watermark advertisement test watermark advertisement test
