qín yán xīn zhōng shì nǎo xiū chéng nù ， piān piān hái ná tā wú kě nài hé 。［..com
秦妍心中是恼羞成怒，偏偏还拿她无可奈何。［..com
Qin Yan was furious and embarrassed, yet there was nothing she could do about it. [..com
hěn hěn de dèng le duì fāng yī yǎn ：“ yī tiān jiù zhī dào hú shuō ， xiàn zài shì tán ér nǚ sī qíng de shí hòu me ， dà shì yào jǐn ， wǒ yào huí qù yǔ zhòng rén shāng liáng zěn me duì fù xū wú 。”
狠狠的瞪了对方一眼：“一天就知道胡说，现在是谈儿女私情的时候么，大事要紧，我要回去与众人商量怎么对付虚无。”
She glared at the other with a fierce look. "All you ever know is nonsense! Is this the time to talk about personal matters? The situation is serious; I need to return and discuss how we should deal with the Void."
huà yīn wèi luò 。
话音未落。
Before her words were fully out, Qin Yan was enveloped by a bright magical aura that transformed her into a streak of light, vanishing from sight.
huà yīn wèi luò ， qín yán hún shēn bèi yī lǚ liàng lì de mó qì bāo guǒ ， huà wèi yī dào jīng hóng ， yú tiān biān xiāo shī bú jiàn le 。
话音未落，秦妍浑身被一缕亮丽的魔气包裹，化为一道惊虹，于天边消失不见了。
Watching as the Fairy among the Clouds disappeared, the smile on the Winged Fairy's face gradually faded. Her expression turned cold once more before she sighed softly: "Silly sister, do you really think I wanted to tease you? Sister did this only to prevent you from repeating your past mistakes. Whether it be immortality or power, the path of eternal life is merely a pursuit of happiness. In your previous life, you missed out on your destiny; in this life, I just don't want you to make the same mistake."
wàng zhe yún zhōng xiān zi de bèi yǐng xiāo shī ， nà wèi zhé yì xiān zi de xiào róng què yī fēn fēn yǐn qù ， biǎo qíng chóng xīn biàn dé lěng liè wú bǐ ， suí hòu què yōu yōu de tàn le kǒu qì ：“ shǎ jiě jiě ， nǐ dāng wǒ zhēn de xiǎng tiáo kǎn yú nǐ ， mèi mèi zhè me zuò ， zhǐ shì wèi le ràng nǐ bù chóng dǎo fù zhé ， shén me chéng xiān yě hǎo ， quán shì yě bà ， suǒ wèi de cháng shēng zhī lù ， yě bù guò shì wèi le zhuī xún xìng fú ， qián shì de nǐ ， yǔ yīn yuán cā shēn ér guò ， zhè yī shì ， mèi mèi zhǐ shì bù xiǎng nǐ zài chóng dǎo fù zhé 。”
望着云中仙子的背影消失，那位折翼仙子的笑容却一分分隐去，表情重新变得冷冽无比，随后却幽幽的叹了口气：“傻姐姐，你当我真的想调侃于你，妹妹这么做，只是为了让你不重蹈覆辙，什么成仙也好，权势也罢，所谓的长生之路，也不过是为了追寻幸福，前世的你，与姻缘擦身而过，这一世，妹妹只是不想你再重蹈覆辙。”
She shook her head and tucked away the strange weapon she held. A dazzling aura enveloped her as magical energy surged forth, wrapping around her body like a dark cloud before drifting off into the distance.
shuō dào zhè lǐ ， tā yáo le yáo tóu ， jiāng shǒu zhōng de qí xíng bīng qì yī shōu ， hún shēn jīng máng dà zuò ， gǔn gǔn mó qì fú xiàn ér chū ， jiāng tā quán shēn bāo guǒ ， huà wèi yī dào mó yún cháo zhe yuǎn fāng piāo luò 。
说到这里，她摇了摇头，将手中的奇形兵器一收，浑身惊芒大做，滚滚魔气浮现而出，将她全身包裹，化为一道魔云朝着远方飘落。
...
……
……
Lin Xuan was unaware of all that transpired.
zhè yī qiè ， lín xuān zì rán bù qīng chǔ 。
这一切，林轩自然不清楚。
At this moment, his avatar was stationed at the main hall of Cloud Conceal Sect while he himself was rushing to aid elsewhere. He was filled with frustration, having learned from the Spirit Water Sect about the current crisis and splitting up to support both sides.
cǐ shí tā de huà shēn zuò zhèn yú yún yǐn zōng zǒng duò ， zhì yú běn tǐ ， zé zài quán lì gǎn lù 。
此时他的化身坐镇于云隐宗总舵，至于本体，则在全力赶路。
However, in his haste, he had somehow gotten the directions mixed up.
xīn zhōng chōng mǎn le ào nǎo zhī yì ， cóng líng shuǐ zōng zhòng rén kǒu zhōng dé zhī le rú jīn suǒ miàn lín de wēi jī ， tā yǔ nài lóng zhēn rén fēn tóu yīng yuán liǎng dì 。
心中充满了懊恼之意，从灵水宗众人口中得知了如今所面临的危机，他与鼐龙真人分头应援两地。
It sounded absurd, but even sages make mistakes; true immortals were not immune to lapses either. After all, Lin Xuan had been too eager, so a small mistake was inevitable.
rán ér máng zhōng chū cuò ， tā jū rán jiāng fāng xiàng gěi gǎo hùn diào le 。
然而忙中出错，他居然将方向给搞混掉了。
By the time he realized it, several days had already passed.
zhè tīng qǐ lái bù kě sī yì ， dàn zhì zhě qiān lǜ ， bì yǒu yī shī ， biàn shì zhēn xiān ， yě yǒu dǎ dǔn ér de shí hòu ， hé kuàng zì jǐ dāng chū tài guò xīn jí ， chū yì diǎn chā cuò ， yòu yǒu shén me shì bù kě néng dì 。
这听起来不可思议，但智者千虑，必有一失，便是真仙，也有打盹儿的时候，何况自己当初太过心急，出一点差错，又有什么是不可能地。
With his speed, he had traveled countless miles by then. When he finally turned around and rushed back to the main hall, the delay had cost him precious time.
děng fā xiàn nòng cuò ， yǐ shì shù rì zhī hòu 。
等发现弄错，已是数日之后。
Lin Xuan considered other options, like breaking through the void to go to another plane first before returning to Cloud Conceal Sect.
yǐ lín xuān de dùn sù ， zǎo yǐ pǎo le bù zhī duō shǎo wàn lǐ ， děng chóng xīn diào zhuǎn fāng xiàng ， gǎn huí zǒng duò 。 zhè lái huí de shí jiān yī dān gē ， kě jiù dàng zhēn jiǔ le 。
以林轩的遁速，早已跑了不知多少万里，等重新掉转方向，赶回总舵。这来回的时间一耽搁，可就当真久了。
He had done something similar when Cloud Conceal Sect was facing a crisis during the Immortal Alliance Conference. But that was out of necessity; at the time, the situation for Cloud Conceal Sect was dire, and failure would mean the end of their lineage.
lín xuān yě bú shì méi yǒu xiǎng guò qí tā de zhǔ yì ， bǐ rú pò suì xū kōng ， xiān qù qí tā de jiè miàn ， rán hòu zài fǎn huí yún yǐn zōng 。
林轩也不是没有想过其他的主意，比如破碎虚空，先去其他的界面，然后再返回云隐宗。
With no other choice, Lin Xuan had to take a chance.
zhè yàng de shì qíng ， dāng chū cān jiā wán xiān méng dà huì ， yún yǐn zōng miàn lín wēi jī ， lín xuān yǐ jīng zuò guò yī cì 。
这样的事情，当初参加完仙盟大会，云隐宗面临危机，林轩已经做过一次。
After all, while breaking through the void might be easy, inter-dimensional teleportation could go awry. Even a small mistake could send him anywhere.
dàn nà yī cì ， shì bù dé yǐ ， yún yǐn zōng miàn lín de jú miàn 。 yǐ dào le huǒ shāo méi máo de jìng dì ， zì jǐ ruò bù néng jí shí gǎn huí ， jiù shì yí gè chuán chéng duàn jué de jié guǒ 。
但那一次，是不得已，云隐宗面临的局面。已到了火烧眉毛的境地，自己若不能及时赶回，就是一个传承断绝的结果。
This time, he was indeed lucky; his teleportation was precise. But such an outcome was rare, and Lin Xuan had no confidence in repeating it.
méi yǒu bié de xuǎn zé ， suǒ yǐ lín xuān zhǐ néng dǔ yī dǔ 。
没有别的选择，所以林轩只能赌一赌。

须知破碎虚空虽然容易，但跨界面传送可是差之毫厘谬以千里，哪怕只一点点差错，都不知道会被传送到什么地方去了。
In any case, the situation was different this time; Cloud Conceal Sect had been under siege for years, but they were still holding on despite unfavorable odds.
nǎ yī cì zhe shí shì yùn qì bù cuò ， chuán sòng jū rán shì fēi cháng jīng zhǔn de ， ér zhè yàng de jī lǜ 。 bǎi bù cún yī ， ràng lín xuān zài shì yī cì ， nà shì yì diǎn bǎ wò yě méi yǒu dì 。
哪一次着实是运气不错，传送居然是非常精准的，而这样的几率。百不存一，让林轩再试一次，那是一点把握也没有地。
So why rush? It wouldn't make sense to risk everything just to arrive a few days later.
gè wèi dào yǒu jǐn liàng guān zhù yī xià huàn yǔ de wēi xìn ， zuì jìn huì fā bù yī xiē yǒu qù de zī liào 。 dà jiā kě yǐ zài wēi xìn zhōng sōu suǒ “ bǎi liàn chéng xiān huàn yǔ ”， huò zhě “hchy1982” jiù tiān jiā huàn yǔ de wēi xìn le ， lìng wài bǎi liàn shǒu yóu de guān fāng wēi xìn shì “blcxgame”， huān yíng tiān jiā 。
各位道友尽量关注一下幻雨的薇信，最近会发布一些有趣的资料。大家可以在薇信中搜索“百炼成仙幻雨”，或者“hchy1982”就添加幻雨的薇信了，另外百炼手游的官方薇信是“blcxgame”，欢迎添加。
Mishaps could backfire. He might not find anyone to cry to if things went wrong.
ér qiě zhè yī cì qíng kuàng bù tóng 。 yún yǐn zōng bèi wéi kùn ， yǐ yǒu shù nián zhī jiǔ ， qíng shì suī rán bù lì 。 dàn yě néng kǔ kǔ jiān chí 。
而且这一次情况不同。云隐宗被围困，已有数年之久，情势虽然不利。但也能苦苦坚持。
In any case, such risky ventures should be avoided unless absolutely necessary. Better to take it slow and steady.
jì rán rú cǐ ， yě bù chà wǎn dào jǐ tiān ， zì jǐ hé bì hái mào nà yàng de xiǎn 。
既然如此，也不差晚到几天，自己何必还冒那样的险。
But his journey was far from smooth; he encountered域外天魔 (foreign heavenly demons) at every turn.
nòng qiǎo chéng zhuō ， dào shí hòu dōu zhǎo bú dào dì fāng qù kū ， zǒng ér yán zhī ， zhè yàng de mào xiǎn zhī shì ， zài bù dé yǐ de qíng kuàng xià ， kě yǐ ǒu ěr wèi zhī ， rán ér rú jīn zhè yàng de jìng kuàng ， què wán quán méi yǒu bì yào qù zuò dì 。
弄巧成拙，到时候都找不到地方去哭，总而言之，这样的冒险之事，在不得已的情况下，可以偶尔为之，然而如今这样的境况，却完全没有必要去做地。
Lin Xuan had no time for these minor pests but the demons attacked recklessly nonetheless.
jiǎo tà shí dì ， nǎ pà shāo wēi wǎn huí qù yī xiē 。
脚踏实地，哪怕稍微晚回去一些。
He couldn't run away, especially since this area was already under their control. A detour would only waste more time, so it made sense to charge through.
ér zhè yī lù shàng ， piān piān què yòu bù shùn yǐ jí ， bù shí biàn zhuàng jiàn yù wài tiān mó 。
而这一路上，偏偏却又不顺以极，不时便撞见域外天魔。
So Lin Xuan didn't hold back; he killed every foreign demon in sight without mercy. He didn’t want his identity exposed and the attackers to be on guard. Thus, no demons survived his encounters.
lín xuān dǎo shì méi yǒu xián qíng yǎ zhì qù duì fù zhè xiē xiǎo lóu luō ， kě zhè xiē tiān mó què shì bù zhǎng yǎn jīng de ， hū lā yī shēng biàn luàn hōng hōng de shā shàng lái le 。
林轩倒是没有闲情雅致去对付这些小喽啰，可这些天魔却是不长眼睛的，呼啦一声便乱哄哄的杀上来了。
This slowed down their journey somewhat.
lín xuān zǒng bù néng wàng fēng ér táo ba ， hé kuàng zhè yī piàn qū yù ， yǐ jīng bèi yù wài tiān mó gōng xiàn ， zhēn yào rào lù ， nà dān gē de shí jiān kě jiù tài duō ， shuō qǐ lái ， hái bù rú yìng chuǎng guò qù huá suàn le 。
林轩总不能望风而逃吧，何况这一片区域，已经被域外天魔攻陷，真要绕路，那耽搁的时间可就太多，说起来，还不如硬闯过去划算了。
...
yú shì lín xuān yě bù cáng zhuō ， fǎn zhèng zhè xiē tiān wài mó tóu méi yǒu yí gè shì wú gū zhě ， rén rén dé ér zhū zhī de 。
于是林轩也不藏拙，反正这些天外魔头没有一个是无辜者，人人得而诛之的。
Meanwhile, battle cries echoed continuously as法宝 (magical treasures) and spiritual lights flew everywhere. Hundreds of域外天魔 (foreign heavenly demons) and cultivators fought fiercely in the sky, creating a chaotic scene.
yú shì lín xuān yī biān yìng chuǎng ， yī biān jiāng suǒ yù jiàn de yù wài tiān mó shā le gè piàn jiǎ bù liú ， tā kě bù xiǎng shēn fèn bào lù ， ràng wéi gōng yún yǐn zōng de jiā huo yǒu le dī fáng ， yú shì fán shì yù jiàn de tiān wài mó tóu ， bù liú yí gè huó kǒu 。
于是林轩一边硬闯，一边将所遇见的域外天魔杀了个片甲不留，他可不想身份暴露，让围攻云隐宗的家伙有了提防，于是凡是遇见的天外魔头，不留一个活口。
Occasionally,惨叫声 (cries of pain) could be heard amidst the bloodshed, as both sides engaged in intense combat.
rú cǐ yī lái ， duō shǎo tuō yán le yī xiē xíng chéng de sù dù 。
如此一来，多少拖延了一些行程的速度。
This was outside Cloud Conceal Mountains.
……
……
Every day, such scenes played out between the two opposing forces. At first glance, it seemed intense, but for those involved, it was merely a nuisance and probing attack.
lìng yī biān 。
另一边。
At least a hundred skirmishes occurred daily.
hǎn shā shēng bù tíng de chuán rù ěr duǒ ， dàn jiàn tiān kōng zhōng fǎ bǎo zòng héng ， líng guāng fēi wǔ ， shù yǐ bǎi jì de yù wài tiān mó yǔ xiū shì dà dé rú huǒ rú tú ， chǎng miàn rè nào dào jí chù 。
喊杀声不停的传入耳朵，但见天空中法宝纵横，灵光飞舞，数以百计的域外天魔与修士大得如火如荼，场面热闹到极处。
Thus, one could imagine how brutal the actual battles were.
bù shí yǒu cǎn jiào shēng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， xiān xuè zài màn tiān fēi wǔ ， shuāng fāng de bó shā jī liè dào wú yǐ fù jiā de chéng dù 。
不时有惨叫声传入耳朵，鲜血在漫天飞舞，双方的搏杀激烈到无以复加的程度。
After their last epic confrontation, both sides were now regrouping and strengthening their power.
zhè lǐ shì yún yǐn shān mài de wài wéi 。
这里是云隐山脉的外围。
Everything appeared normal.
ér zhè yàng de yí mù ， duì zhì de shuāng fāng měi tiān dōu zài shàng yǎn zhe 。
而这样的一幕，对峙的双方每天都在上演着。
No one knew that four women from Cloud Conceal Sect had secretly left using a hidden teleportation array.
zhà yī kàn ， jī liè yǐ jí ， qí shí duì yú gōng fáng de shuāng fāng ， dōu bù guò shì xiǎo chǎng miàn ér yǐ ， zhǐ suàn dé shàng sāo rǎo shì tàn xìng de gōng jī 。
乍一看，激烈以极，其实对于攻防的双方，都不过是小场面而已，只算得上骚扰试探性的攻击。
...
měi yī tiān ， zhì shǎo yào fā shēng jìn bǎi qǐ 。
每一天，至少要发生近百起。
About fifty million miles west of Cloud Conceal Sect, there was a vast wilderness with various poisonous insects and strange beasts. The vegetation here was more abundant than elsewhere.
nà me zhēn zhèng dà zhàn de jī liè chéng dù ， kě xiǎng ér zhī 。
那么真正大战的激烈程度，可想而知。
Amidst the rugged mountains, countless valleys and caves dotted the landscape, with underground rivers winding through them.
qí shí jīng lì le shàng yī cì de jīng tiān dòu fǎ ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， shuāng fāng dōu zài xiū yǎng shēng xī 。
其实经历了上一次的惊天斗法，此时此刻，双方都在休养生息。
The complex terrain provided excellent cover; even the divine consciousness of late-stage渡劫 (transcending tribulation) cultivators would struggle to search every inch of it thoroughly.
chóng zhèn qí gǔ ， jí jù shí lì 。
重振旗鼓，集聚实力。
In a deep valley, some caves were scattered along the mountain walls. Suddenly, one of these caves emitted a faint glow before quickly disappearing again.
yī qiè kàn lái ， dōu zhèng cháng yǐ jí 。
一切看来，都正常以极。
Then, a tinkling laugh reached their ears as four graceful women emerged from the cave.
méi yǒu rén zhī dào ， yún yǐn zōng yǒu sì míng nǚ zǐ ， tōng guò mì mì chuán sòng zhèn qiǎo rán lí kāi le cǐ dì 。
没有人知道，云隐宗有四名女子，通过秘密传送阵悄然离开了此地。
They appeared no older than twenty, but each had a distinct appearance and temperament.
yún yǐn zōng yǐ xī ， dà yuē wǔ shí wàn lǐ 。
云隐宗以西，大约五十万里。
On the left was particularly youthful; her black hair cascaded like a waterfall. Her face was oval-shaped with a small nose, and her eyes were especially striking—almost as if they could speak, exuding vitality.
zhè ér shì yī chù huāng shān dà zé ， bù shí yǒu gè zhǒng dú chóng yì shòu chū mò 。
这儿是一处荒山大泽，不时有各种毒虫异兽出没。
Beside her was another woman who looked similar but had a more rounder face, giving off an infantile appearance.
zhí bèi shù mù ， yě bǐ bié de dì fāng fán shèng xǔ duō 。
植被树木，也比别的地方繁盛许多。
Despite their youthful beauty, both women exuded a certain air of bravery and vigor.
chóng shān jùn lǐng jiān ， shān gǔ yán dòng bù jì qí shù ， dì xià xià hái yǒu wān yán qū zhé de àn hé 。
崇山峻岭间，山谷岩洞不计其数，地下下还有蜿蜒曲折的暗河。
These were Lin Xuan's beloved disciples, Shangguan Ling and Shangguan Yan.
cuò zōng fù zá de dì xíng ， biàn chéng le zuì hǎo de yǎn hù ， zài zhè lǐ ， biàn shì dù jié hòu qī de shén shí ， xiǎng yào sōu suǒ jǐn měi yī cùn jiǎo luò ， jī hū yě shì bù kě néng wán chéng de rèn wù 。
错综复杂的地形，便成了最好的掩护，在这里，便是渡劫后期的神识，想要搜索尽每一寸角落，几乎也是不可能完成的任务。
A person should be judged anew after three days; despite their unchanged appearances, their strength had far surpassed what it was before. Just recently, they had both advanced to the late-stage 分神 (divine spirit) realm.
zhè lǐ shì yī yōu shēn de xiá gǔ 。
这里是一幽深的峡谷。
Their rapid progress owed much to their innate talents and hard work but also to Lin Xuan's guidance. His teachings had saved them from many detours.
xiá gǔ de shān bì zhōng cuò luò de fēn bù zhe yī xiē dòng kū ， tū rán qí zhōng yǒu yī zuò chuán lái xiǎng dòng ， yǐn yǐn yǒu líng guāng yì sàn ér chū ， suí hòu yòu hěn kuài yǐn méi 。
峡谷的山壁中错落的分布着一些洞窟，突然其中有一座传来响动，隐隐有灵光逸散而出，随后又很快隐没。
