kǒng què xiān zi ！
孔雀仙子！
Phoenix Fairy!
lín xuān xiān shì cuò è ， suí hòu jiù lù chū le kuáng xǐ ， suī xiāng gé qiān zài ， dàn tā yòu zěn me huì wàng jì yuàn yuàn ？
林轩先是错愕，随后就露出了狂喜，虽相隔千载，但他又怎么会忘记媛媛？
Lin Xuan was first taken aback, then filled with狂喜 (ecstatic joy). Though it had been a millennium since they last met, how could he forget Yuanyuan?
ài qī bèi fèng huáng dài zǒu ， yì zhí fāng zōng liǎo wú ， méi xiǎng dào huì zài zhè lǐ yù jiàn 。＝＝＝
爱妻被凤凰带走，一直芳踪了无，没想到会在这里遇见。＝＝＝
His beloved wife had been taken by the phoenix, and she had remained out of sight for so long. He never expected to meet her here.
bù jí duō zuò sī suǒ ， lín xuān hún shēn qīng máng dà zuò ， fēng chí diàn chè ， biàn cháo zhe nà ge fāng xiàng fēi qù le 。
不及多做思索，林轩浑身青芒大做，风驰电掣，便朝着那个方向飞去了。
Without further thought, Lin Xuan emitted a blinding green light all over his body, flying towards that direction at incredible speed.
yī bié qiān nián ， yuàn yuàn róng mào wèi biàn ， hún shēn shàng xià fǎn ér tòu chū yī zhǒng gāo guì huá lì de qì xī ， fū ruò níng zhī ， jī fū biǎo miàn ， yǐn yǐn yòu yǒu wǔ cǎi guāng huá ， yù shì zhe yī zhǒng shuō bù chū lái de qiáng dà 。
一别千年，媛媛容貌未变，浑身上下反而透出一种高贵华丽的气息，肤若凝脂，肌肤表面，隐隐又有五彩光华，预示着一种说不出来的强大。
A thousand years apart, Yuanyuan's appearance hadn't changed; instead, she exuded an aura of nobility and elegance. Her skin was as smooth as cream, with faintly visible multicolored light indicating her formidable strength.
jiā rén rú xī ， wéi yī ràng lín xuān jiū xīn de shì tā shuāng móu jǐn bì ， zuǐ jiǎo biān yǐn yǐn hái yǒu yī lǚ xuè jì 。
佳人如昔，唯一让林轩揪心的是她双眸紧闭，嘴角边隐隐还有一缕血迹。
The beauty remained unchanged, but Lin Xuan was worried about the fact that her eyes were tightly shut, and there was a trace of blood on her lips.
hūn mí ！
昏迷！
She was unconscious!
nán dào shuō ， yuàn yuàn yù jiàn le qiáng dí ？
难道说，媛媛遇见了强敌？
Could it be that Yuanyuan had encountered a powerful enemy?
xiǎng dào zhè lǐ ， lín xuān de liǎn sè yīn chén yǐ jí 。
想到这里，林轩的脸色阴沉以极。
Thinking this, Lin Xuan's face turned extremely gloomy. He flew towards his wife with even greater urgency.
gèng jiā quán lì de xiàng ài qī fēi qù 。
更加全力的像爱妻飞去。
However, although she seemed nearby, they were actually separated by countless mountains and rivers. Reaching her wasn't as simple as a blink of an eye!
rán ér kàn zhe bù yuǎn ， qí shí xiāng gé què shì wàn shuǐ qiān shān ， xiǎng yào dào dá ， bú shì shùn xī biàn kě yǐ bàn dào de a ！
然而看着不远，其实相隔却是万水千山，想要到达，不是瞬息便可以办到的啊！
Fortunately, Lin Xuan's speed was extraordinary. Just when he was about to get close, something unexpected happened.
hǎo zài lín xuān de dùn sù shí zài shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， rán ér yǎn kàn zhe jiù yào jiē jìn le ， què chū xiàn le ， shuí yě yù xiǎng bú dào de biàn gù 。
好在林轩的遁速实在是非同小可，然而眼看着就要接近了，却出现了，谁也预想不到的变故。
Sizzzzz!
cī lā ！
刺啦！
It sounded like a piece of brocade being torn apart, but the sound was much louder. Then the entire void became blurry, and the sky turned pitch black while the ground lit up with faint light.
fǎng fú bù jǐn bèi sī pò ， rán ér nà shēng yīn yào dà dé duō 。
仿佛布锦被撕破，然而那声音要大得多。
This wasn't over yet.
suí hòu zhěng gè xū kōng yī zhèn mó hú ， tiān dì fǎng fú yī xià zi dào zhuǎn le ， tiān kōng biàn dé qī hēi rú mò ， dà dì què míng liàng yī piàn ， bìng yǐn yǐn yǒu dàn dàn yíng guāng tòu chū 。
随后整个虚空一阵模糊，天地仿佛一下子倒转了，天空变得漆黑如墨，大地却明亮一片，并隐隐有淡淡莹光透出。
The dark sky suddenly split open, revealing a huge arc of light.
zhè hái méi yǒu jié shù 。
这还没有结束。
From afar, it looked like a spatial rift, but it was enormous, spanning tens of thousands of miles from east to west.
qī hēi de tiān mù ， tū rán liè kāi le yī tiáo kǒu zi ， chū xiàn le yī tiáo jù dà de guāng hú 。
漆黑的天幕，突然裂开了一条口子，出现了一条巨大的光弧。
With fangs exposed, it appeared as if a giant mouth had opened wide. It swallowed the phoenix whole.
cóng biǎo miàn shàng kàn ， nà guāng hú jiù fǎng fú kōng jiān liè fèng yì bān 。
从表面上看，那光弧就仿佛空间裂缝一般。
Lin Xuan's green light abruptly stopped; his face turned dark with worry. He hadn't anticipated such an unexpected change.
dàn què dà dé lí pǔ ， zòng héng shù shí wàn lǐ ， héng guàn dōng xī 。
但却大得离谱，纵横数十万里，横贯东西。
"Third Brother, don't mind it. The light arc appears, and the path to immortality becomes visible. Your sister is still safe for now."
liáo yá wài lù ， kàn shàng qù ， jiù fǎng fú yī zhāng jù dà de zuǐ bā 。
獠牙外露，看上去，就仿佛一张巨大的嘴巴。
Nailong True Man had appeared beside him. His expression was no longer lighthearted; instead, he comforted Lin Xuan with a brotherly demeanor.
huǎn huǎn yī zhāng ér kāi ， jìng rán jiāng kǒng què tūn mò 。
缓缓一张而开，竟然将孔雀吞没。
"Hmm."
lín xuān de dùn guāng gā rán ér zhǐ ， liǎn sè yīn mái yǐ jí ， zhè yàng de biàn gù tā shǐ liào wèi jí 。
林轩的遁光嘎然而止，脸色阴霾以极，这样的变故他始料未及。
Lin Xuan nodded.
“ sān dì 。 nǐ bié zài yì ， guāng hú xiàn ， xiān lù xiǎn ， dì mèi zàn shí hái bú huì yǒu wēi xiǎn 。”
“三弟。你别在意，光弧现，仙路显，弟妹暂时还不会有危险。”
"Relax," said Rain桐 Fairy and others as they arrived by his side: "It's not bad luck if it is, and you can't avoid bad luck if that's what it is. We will help you."
bù zhī hé shí ， nài lóng zhēn rén lái dào le shēn biān ， kàn jiàn zhè yí mù ， liǎn shàng yǐ méi yǒu diào er láng dāng zhī sè ， ér shì pǒ yǒu xiōng zhǎng qì dù de ān wèi qǐ lái le 。
不知何时，鼐龙真人来到了身边，看见这一幕，脸上已没有吊儿郎当之色，而是颇有兄长气度的安慰起来了。
The appearance of the light arc at this moment was a coincidence or perhaps an opportunity. Regardless, they had to take a chance. Entering this mysterious space wasn't something to be alarmed about.
lín xuān diǎn le diǎn tóu 。
林轩点了点头。
Before Lin Xuan finished speaking, his body emitted intense light, transforming into a brilliant streak several dozen feet long as he flew forward.
“ bié dān xīn 。” yǔ tóng xiān zi tā men yì lái dào le shēn cè ：“ shì fú bú shì huò ， shì huò duǒ bù guò ， wǒ men dū huì bāng nǐ de 。”
“别担心。”雨桐仙子他们亦来到了身侧：“是福不是祸，是祸躲不过，我们都会帮你的。”
Soon, he approached the light arc.
guāng hú huì qià hǎo zài zhè ge shí hòu chū xiàn 。 yě bù zhī dào jiū jìng shì qiǎo hé hái shì jī yuán 。
光弧会恰好在这个时候出现。也不知道究竟是巧合还是机缘。
Lin Xuan quietly activated the玄龟龙甲盾 (Armored Turtle Dragon Shield).
dàn bù guǎn rú hé ， tā men dōu bì xū yī bó ， zhè shí hòu jìn rù nà shén mì de kōng jiān ， dào yě bù zhí dé jīng qí hài pà shén me 。
但不管如何，他们都必须一搏，这时候进入那神秘的空间，倒也不值得惊奇害怕什么。
What lay within this mysterious space was unknown even to Rain桐 Fairy. For safety's sake, Lin Xuan naturally didn't dare be careless.
“ zǒu ！”
“走！”
People could add "Hundred Refinements into Immortality Fantasy Rain" or "hchy1982" on WeChat to contact Fantasy Rain.
lín xuān huà yīn wèi luò ， hún shēn yǐ shì jīng máng dà qǐ ， huà wèi yī dào shù shí zhàng zhǎng de jīng hóng ， cháo zhe qián fāng yī fēi ér qù 。
林轩话音未落，浑身已是精芒大起，化为一道数十丈长的惊虹，朝着前方一飞而去。
However, an unexpected scene unfolded as they entered the light arc.
hěn kuài biàn jiē jìn le guāng hú 。
很快便接近了光弧。
Lin Xuan felt no discomfort throughout. He easily merged with the light arc.
lín xuān yǐ qiǎo rán jiāng xuán guī lóng jiǎ dùn jì chū 。
林轩已悄然将玄龟龙甲盾祭出。
"What is this..."
zhè shén mì kōng jiān lǐ miàn yǒu shén me ， lián yǔ tóng xiān zi yě bù qīng chǔ ， yú qíng yú lǐ 。 lín xuān zì rán bù gǎn yǒu fēn háo de dà yì shū hū 。
这神秘空间里面有什么，连雨桐仙子也不清楚，于情于理。林轩自然不敢有分毫的大意疏忽。
Soon, the bright light faded, and a new landscape appeared before his eyes. Lin Xuan's eyes widened in surprise.
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
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
...
rán ér jiē xià lái què chū xiàn le chū rén yì liào de yí mù 。
然而接下来却出现了出人意料的一幕。
Meanwhile, in the True Spirit Realm,
zhěng gè guò chéng lín xuān méi yǒu gǎn dào rèn hé bù tuǒ 。
整个过程林轩没有感到任何不妥。
The Phoenix Realm had collapsed into nothingness, and the entire world seemed to revert to its primordial state. The chaos of creation began anew, with order turning to disorder.
qīng sōng qiè yì de biàn mò rù le nà dào guāng hú 。
轻松惬意的便没入了那道光弧。
No one could survive.
“ zhè shì ……”
“这是……”
However, there were always exceptions.
hěn kuài ， yǎn qián de liàng guāng xiāo sàn ， jǐng sè chóng xīn yìng rù yǎn lián 。 lín xuān què jīng yà de dèng dà le yǎn 。
很快，眼前的亮光消散，景色重新映入眼帘。林轩却惊讶的瞪大了眼。
Soon, a snow-white youth appeared amidst the void.
lín xuān de zāo yù qiě bù tí ， yǔ cǐ tóng shí ， zhēn líng kōng jiān lǐ 。
林轩的遭遇且不提，与此同时，真灵空间里。
But Tian Xiang's face was grim. Although he had won that battle and both the phoenix and the giant golden-winged bird had perished here, his goal remained unachieved.
kǒng què zhī jìng yǐ bēng tā huà wèi xū wú ， zhěng gè tiān dì 。 shì jiān wàn wù ， fǎng fú dōu huí dào hóng méng chū shǐ de zhuàng tài le ， hùn dùn chū kāi 。 tiān dì jiān yí piàn hùn luàn 。
孔雀之境已崩塌化为虚无，整个天地。世间万物，仿佛都回到鸿蒙初始的状态了，混沌初开。天地间一片混乱。
The phoenix still escaped, even taking away their true spirit flames. He had sacrificed a ten-thousand-volume celestial book but ended up in vain.
méi yǒu rén néng gòu huó xià lái 。
没有人能够活下来。
How long since he last felt such a setback? A first-rate immortal powerhouse was outwitted by mere lower realm spirits.
rán ér fán shì dōu yǒu lì wài 。
然而凡事都有例外。
Depressed and frustrated, Tian Xiang's expression quickly returned to calm. Compared to Feihu True Man, he was more adept at scheming.
hěn kuài ， xū kōng zhōng jiù duō le nà bái yī shèng xuě de shào nián 。
很快，虚空中就多了那白衣胜雪的少年。
Failure wasn't unforgivable. The immediate priority was to successfully refine the ten-thousand-volume celestial book. Unfortunately, the secret treasure Five-Phoenix Seal had been lost. Otherwise...
xiān chén bù rǎn ！
纤尘不染！
But it didn't matter. As long as enough true spirit souls were collected, this treasure would be invincible in the world.
rán ér tián xiāng de liǎn sè què hěn nán kàn ， biǎo miàn shàng kàn ， tā yíng le nà yī zhàn ， fèng huáng yǔ kūn péng jiē bì mìng yú cǐ chù ， dàn nà yòu rú hé ， tā de mù dì ， qí shí shén me yě méi yǒu dá dào de 。
然而田襄的脸色却很难看，表面上看，他赢了那一战，凤凰与鲲鹏皆毙命于此处，但那又如何，他的目的，其实什么也没有达到的。
Whether Feihu True Man entered the Six Realms of Rebirth was uncertain, but even if he succeeded, how could he compare to him now that he had become a Daoist Sage?
kǒng què hái shì pǎo le ， shèn zhì dài zǒu le fèng huáng yǔ jīn chì dà péng niǎo de zhēn líng zhī huǒ ， zì jǐ jì chū wàn juàn tiān shū ， dào zuì hòu què shì bái máng huó 。
孔雀还是跑了，甚至带走了凤凰与金翅大鹏鸟的真灵之火，自己祭出万卷天书，到最后却是白忙活。
Thinking this, Tian Xiang's face lit up. A temporary failure was nothing; he would still be the ultimate victor. His figure blurred as he broke free from the chaotic state, shattering all the disordered cosmic laws.
zhè yàng de cuò bài gǎn yǐ jīng duō jiǔ méi yǒu guò ？
这样的挫败感已经多久没有过？
The collapse of the Phoenix Realm meant nothing. He could still collect many true spirit flames in the future.
zì jǐ zhè xiān jiè dì yī qiáng zhě jū rán bèi qū qū liǎng tóu xià jiè zhēn líng gěi shuǎ le 。
自己这仙界第一强者居然被区区两头下界真灵给耍了。
...
yù mèn ， biē qū ， dàn hěn kuài ， tián xiāng de liǎn shàng jiù huī fù le píng jìng zhī yì ， yǔ huà yǔ zhēn rén xiāng bǐ ， tā yuán běn jiù gèng jiā de gōng yú xīn jì 。
郁闷，憋屈，但很快，田襄的脸上就恢复了平静之意，与化羽真人相比，他原本就更加的工于心计。
Tian Xiang's situation aside, the kingdom of Qingqiu seemed like a beehive that had been set on fire because of Yuanyuan.
shī bài bìng fēi bù kě yuán liàng dì ， dāng wù zhī jí ， shì jǐn kuài jì liàn chéng gōng wàn juàn tiān shū ， kě xī zhēn líng de mì bǎo wǔ lóng xǐ yǐ jīng shī luò ， fǒu zé ……
失败并非不可原谅地，当务之急，是尽快祭炼成功万卷天书，可惜真灵的秘宝五龙玺已经失落，否则……
Lin Xuan was the first to enter the mysterious light arc due to her involvement. However, this didn't mean much; at this tiny interface, the strongest beings from all three realms converged. The ancient grudges and the machinations of true immortals were irrelevant. They still pursued the legend of the light arc appearing, leading to a path to immortality.
dàn méi yǒu guān xì ， zhǐ yào shōu qǔ zú gòu de zhēn líng hún pò ， zhè jiàn bǎo wù yī yàng shì tiān xià wú dí de 。
但没有关系，只要收取足够的真灵魂魄，这件宝物一样是天下无敌的。
Seeking eternal life was the goal of cultivation, but what about those who had reached late-stage tribulation? The pain of not ascending heaven remained unbearable for the powerful in the Three Thousand Worlds.
qiě bù shuō huà yǔ zhēn rén shì fǒu jìn rù le liù dào lún huí hái bù hǎo shuō ， jiù suàn tā chéng gōng zhuǎn shì yòu rú hé ？
且不说化羽真人是否进入了六道轮回还不好说，就算他成功转世又如何？
Now, an opportunity arose; how could they let it slip away?
shì yì shí yí ， rú jīn de tā ， rú hé yǔ yǐ jīng chéng wéi dào zǔ de zì jǐ xiāng bǐ 。
事易时移，如今的他，如何与已经成为道祖的自己相比。
Thus, everyone displayed their abilities and flew towards the light arc. Among them were top-tier powerhouses from the Three Thousand Worlds, even including域外天魔 (transcendent demons).
xiǎng dào zhè lǐ ， tián xiāng de liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī xiào yì ， zàn shí de shī bài méi yǒu shén me ， dàn tā huì chéng wéi zuì hòu de shèng lì zhě ， shēn xíng lüè yī mó hú ， jìng cóng nà hùn dùn zhuàng tài zhōng zhèng tuō ， nà xiē hùn luàn de tiān dì fǎ zé ， quán bù cùn cùn suì liè diào le 。
想到这里，田襄的脸上露出一丝笑意，暂时的失败没有什么，但他会成为最后的胜利者，身形略一模糊，竟从那混沌状态中挣脱，那些混乱的天地法则，全部寸寸碎裂掉了。
Virtuous King of Void had fallen, but Viper Spirit King and Dragon Spirit King remained alive. No one knew if transcendent demons could become immortals, but they certainly didn't want to miss this opportunity, so they came.
kǒng què zhī jìng bēng tā yòu rú hé ， jiē xià lái ， tā kě yǐ shōu qǔ de zhēn líng zhī huǒ hái hěn duō 。
孔雀之境崩塌又如何，接下来，他可以收取的真灵之火还很多。
Initially, entering the light arc was smooth. Even some junior powerhouses at the realm division level were inexplicably drawn in.
……
……
But as more people entered, the light arc began to shrink rapidly. What had been a million-mile span now shrank by over a hundred times, leaving only less than ten thousand miles.
tián xiāng de qíng kuàng qiě bù shuō ， cǐ shí de qīng qiū zhī guó ， què fǎng fú zhà le guō de mǎ fēng wō 。
田襄的情况且不说，此时的青丘之国，却仿佛炸了锅的马蜂窝。
Some top-tier powerhouses who planned to wait for others to enter first and then observe became anxious.
yīn wèi yuàn yuàn de yuán gù ， lín xuān dì yí gè jìn rù nà shén mì de guāng hú 。
因为媛媛的缘故，林轩第一个进入那神秘的光弧。
No one understood this light arc's capacity; it turned out that there was a limit.
dàn zhè bìng dài biǎo bù liǎo shén me ， cǐ shí zhè xiǎo xiǎo de jiè miàn ， què shì huì jù lái zì sān jiè de zuì dǐng jí qiáng zhě ， guān yú shàng gǔ de ēn yuàn jiū gé ， guān yú zhēn xiān de yīn móu mì jì ， huò xǔ tā men xī lǐ hú tú ， dàn què bìng bù fáng ài tā men zhuī zhú guāng hú xiàn ， xiān lù xiǎn de chuán shuō 。
但这并代表不了什么，此时这小小的界面，却是汇聚来自三界的最顶级强者，关于上古的恩怨纠葛，关于真仙的阴谋秘计，或许他们稀里糊涂，但却并不妨碍他们追逐光弧现，仙路显的传说。
If they missed this opportunity, they would regret it deeply. Everyone emitted intense light, desperately trying to be the first to enter the light arc.
xiū xiān běn wèi zhuī xún cháng shēng zhī lù ， dàn xiū liàn dào dù jié hòu qī yòu rú hé ， bù néng fēi shēng de tòng kǔ ， shǐ zhōng ràng sān qiān shì jiè de qiáng zhě bù néng shì huái lái zhe 。
修仙本为追寻长生之路，但修炼到渡劫后期又如何，不能飞升的痛苦，始终让三千世界的强者不能释怀来着。
However, an astonishing scene unfolded next.
ér xiàn zài jī huì lái le ， tā men yòu zěn me kě néng fàng qì ne ？
而现在机会来了，他们又怎么可能放弃呢？
Everyone couldn't enter anymore.
yú shì rén rén gè zhǎn shén tōng ， fēi xiàng le nà dào guāng hú ， zhè qí zhōng ， yǒu sān qiān shì jiè de qiáng zhě ， shèn zhì hái bāo kuò yù wài tiān mó 。
于是人人各展神通，飞向了那道光弧，这其中，有三千世界的强者，甚至还包括域外天魔。
The light arc emitted extremely strange cosmic laws with strong repulsion, blocking them all from entering. (To be continued...)
Phoenix Fairy!
Lin Xuan was first taken aback, then filled with狂喜 (ecstatic joy). Though it had been a millennium since they last met, how could he forget Yuanyuan?
His beloved wife had been taken by the phoenix, and she had remained out of sight for so long. He never expected to meet her here.

A thousand years apart, Yuanyuan's appearance hadn't changed; instead, she exuded an aura of nobility and elegance. Her skin was as smooth as cream, with faintly visible multicolored light indicating her formidable strength.
The beauty remained unchanged, but Lin Xuan was worried about the fact that her eyes were tightly shut, and there was a trace of blood on her lips.

The appearance of the light arc at this moment was a coincidence or perhaps an opportunity. Regardless, they had to take a chance. Entering this mysterious space wasn't something to be alarmed about.
"Let's go!"
Before Lin Xuan finished speaking, his body emitted intense light, transforming into a brilliant streak several dozen feet long as he flew forward.
Soon, he approached the light arc.
Lin Xuan quietly activated the玄龟龙甲盾 (Armored Turtle Dragon Shield).
What lay within this mysterious space was unknown even to Rain桐 Fairy. For safety's sake, Lin Xuan naturally didn't dare be careless.
