“ shén me ， lín qián bèi hái méi yǒu chū lái ， xiān méng dà huì mǎ shàng jiù yào kāi mù ， ruò shì jì xù dān gē ， yě xǔ jiù huì gǎn bù shàng le 。 yòu shī shū méng 。” yún ruò yán chī jīng de shuō 。
“什么，林前辈还没有出来，仙盟大会马上就要开幕，若是继续耽搁，也许就会赶不上了。幼狮书盟。”云若颜吃惊的说。
"Lin Senior hasn't come out yet. The Immortal Alliance Conference is about to begin, and if we keep waiting, we might miss it," Yun Ruoyan exclaimed in surprise.
“ zhè wǒ zì rán xiǎo de ， kě lín shī dì bù chū lái wǒ yòu zěn me bàn ne ？” lóng xìng shào nián yī liǎn kǔ nǎo zhī sè 。
“这我自然晓得，可林师弟不出来我又怎么办呢？”龙姓少年一脸苦恼之色。
The young man with the dragon surname looked troubled. "Of course I know that, but what should I do if Lin Junior doesn't appear?" His expression was as agitated as a trapped ant on a hot pan.
shù wàn nián lái ， tā yě méi yǒu miàn duì guò rú cǐ jiān nán de xuǎn zé 。
数万年来，他也没有面对过如此艰难的选择。
For tens of thousands of years, he had never faced such a difficult choice before. He was at a loss, not knowing the right thing to do.
máng rán wú cuò ， gēn běn bù zhī dào zěn me zuò ， cái shì duì de 。
茫然无措，根本不知道怎么做，才是对的。
"Has Lin Senior mentioned why he is closing himself in?"
“ lín qián bèi kě yǒu shuō guò ， tā bì guān shì wèi le shén me ？”
“林前辈可有说过，他闭关是为了什么？”
Yun Ruoyan's face showed concern. The attacks from the Outer Demons were becoming more and more intense. As the head of the Yun Family, she also had to consider her family's future.
yún ruò yán yī liǎn guān xīn zhī sè ， rú jīn yù wài tiān mó de gōng shì ， yuè lái yuè líng lì le ， zuò wèi yún jiā zhī zhǔ ， yě yào kǎo lǜ jiā zú de qián tú 。
云若颜一脸关心之色，如今域外天魔的攻势，越来越凌厉了，做为云家之主，也要考虑家族的前途。
Joining the Immortal Dao Alliance was undoubtedly a good choice—she could band together with others for mutual support. However, it would come with many constraints and obligations.
jiā rù xiān dào méng ， wú yí shì jí hǎo xuǎn zé ， kě yǐ bào tuán qǔ nuǎn ， dàn xiāng yìn de ， yě huì yǒu xǔ duō chè zhǒu yǔ yì wù 。
加入仙道盟，无疑是极好选择，可以抱团取暖，但相印的，也会有许多掣肘与义务。
If Lin Xuan could become the leader of the Immortal Dao Alliance, that would be the best outcome for the Yun Family. After all, she had a bond with Lin Xuan, and the Yun Family in Fengyuan County might receive some favor from him.
ruò shì lín xuān néng gòu chéng wéi xiān dào méng zhī zhǔ ， nà me duì yú yún jiā lái shuō ， wú yí shì zuì hǎo de jié guǒ 。
若是林轩能够成为仙道盟之主，那么对于云家来说，无疑是最好的结果。
In other words, their fates were now intertwined—rise or fall together. Since their fortuitous encounter, Yun Ruoyan decided to stand by the Yun Yin Sect.
bì jìng tā yǔ lín xuān ， yǒu zhè me yī fèn gù rén zhī qíng ， fēng yuàn jùn yún jiā ， huò duō huò shǎo ， yě jiù kě yǐ dé dào yī xiē zhào fú 。
毕竟她与林轩，有这么一份故人之情，枫苑郡云家，或多或少，也就可以得到一些照拂。
With the Immortal Alliance Conference about to begin, Lin Xuan was still closed away in his meditation chamber. How could she not be anxious?
huàn yán zhī ， shuāng fāng rú jīn ， yǐ shì yī róng jù róng ， yī sǔn jù sǔn ， zì cóng yǒu le nà fān qiǎo yù zhī hòu ， yún ruò yán jiù jué dìng ， yào yǔ yún yǐn zōng gòng tóng jìn tuì le 。
换言之，双方如今，已是一荣俱荣，一损俱损，自从有了那番巧遇之后，云若颜就决定，要与云隐宗共同进退了。
What should they do?
rú jīn xiān méng dà huì jiù yào kāi mù ， lín xuān què yī jiù bì guān wèi chū ， nǐ ràng tā zěn me néng gòu bù xīn jí rú huǒ ？
如今仙盟大会就要开幕，林轩却依旧闭关未出，你让她怎么能够不心急如火？
The young man with the dragon surname was equally uncertain. Both of them were agitated, their expressions like ants on a hot pan.
gāi zěn me bàn ne ？
该怎么办呢？
As the sun rose high and midday approached, the young man's face grew increasingly difficult to behold. If he didn't act soon, it would be too late.
lóng xìng shào nián yì bù xiǎo de 。
龙姓少年亦不晓得。
He gritted his teeth and stood up resolutely, heading towards Lin Xuan's meditation chamber.
liǎng rén xiāng duì zháo jí ， biǎo qíng dōu yǒu rú rè guō shàng de mǎ yǐ 。
两人相对着急，表情都有如热锅上的蚂蚁。
In times of urgency, one must take action. He could only knock on Lin Junior's door; even if he blamed him for the delay, he couldn't care less.
yǎn kàn tài yáng gāo xuán ， shí jiān dōu kuài dào le zhèng wǔ ， lóng xìng shào nián liǎn sè ， yuè fā nàn kàn dào wú yǐ fù jiā de dì bù ， zài děng bù qù ， kě jiù zhēn de lái bù jí le 。
眼看太阳高悬，时间都快到了正午，龙姓少年脸色，越发难看到无以附加的地步，再等不去，可就真的来不及了。
The young man thought to himself.
pīn le ！
拼了！
Just then, a clear and resonant howl echoed in his ears. The sound was crisp yet imbued with an indescribable strength, like the roar of a tiger or the cry of a dragon, piercing through the air.
tā yī yǎo yá ， sà rán zhàn qǐ ， xiàng lín xuān bì guān de gōng shì zǒu qù 。
他一咬牙，飒然站起，像林轩闭关的宫室走去。
"What is this?"
shì jí cóng quán ， rú jīn zì jǐ zhǐ néng qù lín shī dì de mén qián kòu guān ， jiù suàn tā yào guài zuì yú wǒ ， yě gù bù dé 。
事急从权，如今自己只能去林师弟的门前扣关，就算他要怪罪于我，也顾不得。
The young man's face lit up as he hurried over. A flash of green light appeared before him, and Lin Xuan stood in front of him, smiling broadly.
lóng xìng shào nián rú cǐ zhè bān de xiǎng zhe 。
龙姓少年如此这般的想着。
Lin Xuan was naturally elated. Although it had taken more time than expected to refine the Nine Holy Spirit Wine, the benefits far exceeded his imagination. By fusing the blood of nine true spirits, not only did his strength surge dramatically, but he also gained immense advantages.
rán ér jiù zài zhè shí 。 yī zhèn qīng xiào shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ 。
然而就在这时。一阵清啸声传入耳朵。
From now on, Lin Xuan no longer feared any poison. He could say without exaggeration that he had reached a level where he was invulnerable to poisons!
nà xiào shēng qīng lǎng yǐ jí ， què yòu yǒu yī gǔ shuō bù chū de xióng hún zhī yì ， rú hǔ xiào lóng yín ， sà rán chuán rù ěr lǐ 。
那啸声清朗以极，却又有一股说不出的雄浑之意，如虎啸龙吟，飒然传入耳里。
Additionally, the Hundred Spirit Seal sped up its revival process. The heavens were indeed kind to him.
“ zhè shì ……”
“这是……”
Lin Xuan looked at the sky and said, "Senior Dragon, I'm sorry for being late."
lóng xìng shào nián dà xǐ ， máng jǐ bù gǎn le guò qù 。
龙姓少年大喜，忙几步赶了过去。
"Ha ha, Brother Lin, I must admit that this truly worried me. But as long as you're safe, let's not waste time. We should head straight to the conference hall," the young man with the dragon surname replied.
zhǐ jiàn yǎn qián qīng guāng yī shǎn ， lín xuān yǐ yǐ chū xiàn zài le miàn qián 。
只见眼前青光一闪，林轩已已出现在了面前。
"Agreed."
mǎn liǎn xiào yì ， shén cǎi fēi yáng yǐ jí 。
满脸笑意，神采飞扬以极。
Lin Xuan had no objections. He exchanged a nod with Yun Ruoyan and then the three of them emitted dazzling light, each displaying their abilities, transforming into colorful flying arcs that vanished into the distant sky.
yě nán guài lín xuān dà xǐ 。
也难怪林轩大喜。
They traveled in silence until they arrived at the center of Moonlight City. The three of them changed direction, diving vertically into the clouds.
zhè cì liàn huà jiǔ shèng líng jiǔ ， suī rán suǒ huā fèi de shí jiān ， duō shǎo yào chāo chū yù jì ， dàn suǒ huò dé de hǎo chù 。 yī yàng shèng guò xiǎng xiàng xǔ duō 。
这次炼化九圣灵酒，虽然所花费的时间，多少要超出预计，但所获得的好处。一样胜过想象许多。
White clouds floated down from beneath their feet.
róng hé jiǔ zhǒng zhēn líng zhī xuè ， bù jǐn ràng zì jǐ de shí lì tū fēi měng jìn ， ér qiě hái huò dé le mò dà de hǎo chù 。
融合九种真灵之血，不仅让自己的实力突飞猛进，而且还获得了莫大的好处。
At an altitude of several thousand meters, they could see countless martial cultivators patrolling. Behind them was a massive vortex, its presence overwhelming and golden in color.
cóng cǐ yǐ hòu ， lín xuān zài yě bù pà bǎi dú 。
从此以后，林轩再也不怕百毒。
The diameter of this vortex was over ten dozen meters, drawing all attention with its grandeur.
kě yǐ háo bù kuā zhāng de shuō ， tā yǐ jīng dào dá le bǎi dú bù qīn de dì bù ！
可以毫不夸张的说，他已经到达了百毒不侵的地步！
This was the entrance to the Immortal Alliance Conference.
chú cǐ yǐ wài ， bǎi líng yìn yì jiā kuài le sù dù fù sū 。
除此以外，百灵印亦加快了速度复苏。
Since it was late, few cultivators had entered; only two or three remained. The three were stopped by a group of heavily armored martial cultivators riding strange beasts that exuded an alarming aura.
shàng tiān dài zì jǐ zhēn de bù sú 。
上天待自己真的不俗。
These beings were clearly from themonster race (Yao Zhi).
lín xuān tái tóu kàn le kàn tiān sè ：“ lóng shī xiōng ， bù hǎo yì sī ， xiǎo dì chū lái wǎn le 。”
林轩抬头看了看天色：“龙师兄，不好意思，小弟出来晚了。”
Lin Xuan recognized them instantly; ordinary human cultivators rarely reached such a formidable physical state.
“ hē hē ， bù mán shī dì 。 zhè yī cì ， zhēn de jiāng yú xiōng jí huài le ， bù guò shī dì píng ān jiù hǎo ， rú jīn jù lí xiān méng dà huì kāi mù 。 shí jiān yǐ rán jǐn pò ， wǒ men hái shì bú yào duō shuō ， xiān gǎn wǎng huì chǎng ， zài zuò dìng duó 。” lóng xìng shào nián rú cǐ zhè bān de shuō 。
“呵呵，不瞒师弟。这一次，真的将愚兄急坏了，不过师弟平安就好，如今距离仙盟大会开幕。时间已然紧迫，我们还是不要多说，先赶往会场，再做定夺。”龙姓少年如此这般的说。
"Are you here to attend the Immortal Alliance Conference? Please show us your invitation."
“ yě hǎo 。”
“也好。”
Although many cultivators came to Moonlight City, only one-tenth had the qualifications to enter the conference. To prevent any spies from the Outer Demons, checks were strict.
lín xuān zì rán sī háo yì yì yě wú 。 tóng yún ruò yán dǎ le yí gè zhāo hū ， suí hòu sān rén hún shēn jīng máng dà zuò ， gè zhǎn shén tōng 。 huà wèi bù tóng yán sè de fēi hóng ， xiāo shī zài le yuǎn fāng de tiān kōng 。
林轩自然丝毫异议也无。同云若颜打了一个招呼，随后三人浑身精芒大做，各展神通。化为不同颜色的飞虹，消失在了远方的天空。
"Of course!"
yī lù wú huà ， hěn kuài ， tā men biàn lái dào le nóng yuè chéng de zhèng zhōng ， suí hòu sān rén dùn guāng fāng xiàng yī gǎi ， chuí zhí xiàng shàng mò rù yún duān 。
一路无话，很快，他们便来到了濃月城的正中，随后三人遁光方向一改，垂直向上没入云端。
The three knew the rules and didn't make things difficult for these minor cultivators. They flicked their sleeves and produced the invitations.
bái yún duǒ duǒ ， zì jiǎo xià piāo luò 。
白云朵朵，自脚下飘落。
The leading Yao Zhi cultivator took the invitation and scanned it with his eyes, his face changing dramatically.
lái dào liǎng sān wàn zhàng de gāo kōng yǐ hòu ， kě yǐ kàn jiàn wú shù pī jiān zhí ruì de xiū shì xún luó ， ér zài tā men shēn hòu ， què shì yī jù dà de xuán wō 。
来到两三万丈的高空以后，可以看见无数披坚执锐的修士巡逻，而在他们身后，却是一巨大的漩涡。
He bowed deeply: "It's Yun Senior of the Yun Yin Sect, Lin Senior, and Fairy Yun from Fengyuan County. I was unaware; please forgive my rudeness earlier. Please enter."
cǐ xuán wō shēng shì páng bó ， tōng tǐ zuò jīn huáng zhī sè 。
此漩涡声势磅礴，通体做金黄之色。
"Never mind!"
zhí jìng gèng shì shù shí zhàng yǒu yú ， yī yǎn wàng qù ， zhěng gè xīn shén dōu fǎng fú bèi xī yǐn le guò qù 。
直径更是数十丈有余，一眼望去，整个心神都仿佛被吸引了过去。
Lin Xuan remained calm as he took the invitation and flew into the vortex with the other two.
zhè jiù shì xiān méng dà huì de rù kǒu 。
这就是仙盟大会的入口。
...
yīn wèi cǐ kè shí jiān yǐ jīng jiào wǎn ， suǒ yǐ jìn rù lǐ miàn de xiū shì yǐ jīng bù duō ， zhǐ yǒu liáo liáo liǎng sān gè 。
因为此刻时间已经较晚，所以进入里面的修士已经不多，只有寥寥两三个。
Upon entering, they felt the power of the laws permeating everywhere. If their cultivation level were weaker, they would have had to use magical treasures for protection. Lin Xuan and his companions paid no heed; these laws were so weak that they barely affected them.
ér lín xuān sān rén gāng fēi dào fù jìn jiù bèi lán xià lái le 。
而林轩三人刚飞到附近就被拦下来了。
After about a cup of tea's time, they found themselves in an open area filled with birdsong and floral fragrance.
nà shì yī duì pī jiān zhí ruì de xiū shì 。
那是一队披坚执锐的修士。
Lin Xuan felt a bright light as he saw a spirit-infused square. Countless cultivators numbering in the tens of thousands were present, each with considerable strength—these were undoubtedly those who had come from all directions to attend the Immortal Alliance Conference.
suǒ chéng qí de guài shòu fēi shī fēi hǔ ， yǒu jīng rén de lì qì yī fàng ér chū 。
所乘骑的怪兽非狮非虎，有惊人的戾气一放而出。
Around the perimeter, mountains rose one after another, and some magnificent buildings could be seen. There were also guards patrolling.
zhè xiē xiū shì yì shēn cái gāo dà ， tōng tǐ chuān zhe hòu zhòng de kǎi jiǎ 。
这些修士亦身材高大，通体穿着厚重的铠甲。
Though there weren't as many guards outside, their quality was far superior. The majority were at the stage of Separation and Union, with leaders being at least the level of Cave Profound. Even some Great Powers in the Forming Spirit realm were stationed here for patrol.
shì yāo zú ！
是妖族！
As they walked, Lin Xuan and his companions faced multiple inquiries, but once their identities were confirmed, everyone greeted them respectfully.
lín xuān yī yǎn jiù kě yǐ rèn chū ， fǒu zé pǔ tōng de rén lèi xiū xiān zhě ， shǎo yǒu rén ròu shēn néng gòu qiáng dà dào rú cǐ chéng dù 。
林轩一眼就可以认出，否则普通的人类修仙者，少有人肉身能够强大到如此程度。
The young man with the dragon surname and Yun Ruoyan were no exception; after all, Lin Senior was a renowned figure. Some Great Powers who had experienced Lin Xuan's miraculous rise might doubt his abilities, believing that rumors had exaggerated his strength.
“ sān wèi shì lái cān jiā xiān méng dà huì de ma ， qǐng chū shì qǐng jiǎn 。”
“三位是来参加仙盟大会的吗，请出示请柬。”
They were eager to test him severely. However, ordinary cultivators revered and admired Lin Xuan; who wouldn't want to rise to the top? His story was too inspiring. They didn't waste much time and soon approached the massive square.
"Lin Senior hasn't come out yet. The Immortal Alliance Conference is about to begin, and if we keep waiting, we might miss it," Yun Ruoyan exclaimed in surprise.
The young man with the dragon surname looked troubled. "Of course I know that, but what should I do if Lin Junior doesn't appear?" His expression was as agitated as a trapped ant on a hot pan.
For tens of thousands of years, he had never faced such a difficult choice before. He was at a loss, not knowing the right thing to do.
