异次元空间，固然令人头疼，如别的存在被抛到此处，恐怕都绝望了，但田襄身为道祖，自然不会认输，另外一个宇宙，..c↖om
In the dimensional space, it was indeed troublesome. If other beings were thrown here, they would probably despair. But Tian Xiang, as a Daoist Ancestor, naturally wouldn't give up. In another universe...
xiǎng yào jiāng zì jǐ kùn zhù ， bù guò chī rén shì shuō mèng ！
想要将自己困住，不过痴人是说梦！
He wanted to trap himself, but that was just wishful thinking!
tā bì shàng yǎn móu ， kāi shǐ gǎn wù zhè lǐ de tiān dì fǎ zé ， yǔ yǐ qián suǒ lǐng huì de wán quán bù tóng ， bì jìng shì lìng wài yí gè yǔ zhòu 。
他闭上眼眸，开始感悟这里的天地法则，与以前所领会的完全不同，毕竟是另外一个宇宙。
With his eyes closed, he began to sense the laws of this universe, which were completely different from what he had previously understood—after all, it was a different universe.
bù guò méi yǒu guān xì 。
不过没有关系。
But that didn’t matter.
duì tā ér yán zhè dōu bú shì wèn tí ， bù guò shì duō huā fèi yī xiē shí jiān ér yǐ 。
对他而言这都不是问题，不过是多花费一些时间而已。
For him, it wasn't an issue; it merely meant spending more time.
tián xiāng de liǎn shàng mǎn shì lěng xiào zhī yì 。
田襄的脸上满是冷笑之意。
Tian Xiang’s face was filled with a cold smile.
jiù zhè yàng ， shí jiān yì diǎn yì diǎn de guò qù ， zài yǔ zhòu kōng jiān lǐ ， hěn nán zhǔn què liáng dù ， yě xǔ zhǐ guò qù le yī tiān ， yě xǔ ， yǐ jīng guò qù le zhěng zhěng yī nián 。
就这样，时间一点一点的过去，在宇宙空间里，很难准确量度，也许只过去了一天，也许，已经过去了整整一年。
Thus, time passed one by one. In the vast space of the universe, it was hard to accurately measure time—perhaps just a day had passed, or maybe a whole year.
tián xiāng yě bù qīng chǔ ， bì jìng zhè lǐ shí jiān de suàn fǎ ， yǐ jí guī zé ， kǒng pà dōu yǔ yǐ qián shì wán quán bù tóng de 。
田襄也不清楚，毕竟这里时间的算法，以及规则，恐怕都与以前是完全不同的。
Tian Xiang wasn’t sure either; after all, the rules and methods for calculating time here might be entirely different from before.
zhǐ néng chuǎi cè ， dàn gǎn jué yīng gāi shì hěn jiǔ le 。
只能揣测，但感觉应该是很久了。
He could only speculate, but he felt that a long time had passed.
zhè ge shì jiè de guī zé ， tián xiāng yě zhōng yú yǒu le yī xiē tóu xù ， dàn jù lí lǐng wù ， zé chà zhī yuǎn yǐ 。
这个世界的规则，田襄也终于有了一些头绪，但距离领悟，则差之远矣。
With this universe’s rules, Tian Xiang finally had some understanding, though it was still far from complete.
tā xīn zhōng yǒu diǎn zháo jí ， dào bú shì dān xīn zì jǐ huì bèi yǒng yuǎn kùn zài cǐ chù ， duì yú zì jǐ de shí lì ， tián xiāng kě shì xìn xīn shí zú ， yì cì yuán kōng jiān yòu rú hé ， jué duì kùn tā bú zhù ， guī gēn jié dǐ ， bù guò shì duō zhì liú yī xiē shí jiān bà le 。
他心中有点着急，倒不是担心自己会被永远困在此处，对于自己的实力，田襄可是信心十足，异次元空间又如何，绝对困他不住，归根结底，不过是多滞留一些时间罢了。
He was slightly anxious, not because he feared being trapped forever. He was confident in his strength; how could an dimensional space hold him? In the end, it would just be lingering for a bit longer.
ruò huàn yí gè shí jiān ， zé gēn běn jiù bù chéng wèn tí 。
若换一个时间，则根本就不成问题。
If it were another time, this wouldn’t even be an issue.
kě xiàn zài ， guāng hú xiàn ， xiān lù xiǎn ， gāng hǎo guò qù le wǔ bǎi wàn nián 。
可现在，光弧现，仙路显，刚好过去了五百万年。
But now, with the light arc appearing and the path to immortality becoming clear, exactly 5 million years had passed.
sān qiān shì jiè de xiān lù ， yǒu kě néng chóng xīn kāi qǐ ， ā xiū luó wáng xuǎn zé tóu tāi zhuǎn shì ， hái yǒu huà yǔ nà jiā huo ， shì fǒu chéng gōng lún huí yě bù hǎo shuō 。
三千世界的仙路，有可能重新开启，阿修罗王选择投胎转世，还有化羽那家伙，是否成功轮回也不好说。
The path to immortality in the three thousand worlds might reopen. The Asura King chose rebirth, while Huayu’s fate was uncertain.
bù pà yī wàn ， jiù pà wàn yī ， xiān jiè xū yào zì jǐ zhǔ chí dà jú ， fǒu zé jiù kào nà xiē jiā huo ， nán bǎo bú huì chū xiàn shén me pī lòu chā cuò 。
不怕一万，就怕万一，仙界需要自己主持大局，否则就靠那些家伙，难保不会出现什么纰漏差错。
Better safe than sorry—his presence was needed in the heavenly realm to prevent any mishaps or errors.
“ zhè kě wù de zhēn lóng ……”
“这可恶的真龙……”
"This damned true dragon..."
tián xiāng de liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī yuàn dú zhī yì ， zhè ge shí jiān diǎn shàng róng bù dé tā bù jiāo jí 。
田襄的脸上露出一丝怨毒之意，这个时间点上容不得他不焦急。
A trace of resentment appeared on Tian Xiang's face; he couldn’t afford to be anxious at this time point.
kě duì yú tiān dì fǎ zé de lǐng wù ， jí shì méi yòng de ， gāi zěn me bàn ne ？
可对于天地法则的领悟，急是没用的，该怎么办呢？
But how could he gain insight into the laws of the universe by rushing? What should he do?
tián xiāng zhèng kǔ sī zhe tuō shēn zhī cè 。 ér jiù zài zhè shí ， yì biàn tū qǐ ， yī piāo miǎo de shēng yīn chuán rù le ěr duǒ lǐ ， nà shēng yīn dòng tīng yǐ jí ， qù wèn dài zhe wú shàng de wēi yán zhī yì ……
田襄正苦思着脱身之策。而就在这时，异变突起，一飘渺的声音传入了耳朵里，那声音动听以极，去问带着无上的威严之意……
Tian Xiang was pondering his escape when suddenly, something unexpected happened. A distant voice entered his ears, incredibly melodious and carrying an overwhelming aura...
tián xiāng de zāo yù qiě bù tí ， zài shuō lín xuān ， yīn huò dé fú 。
田襄的遭遇且不提，再说林轩，因祸得福。
Tian Xiang’s situation aside, let's return to Lin Xuan. He had gained a stroke of luck.
suī rán chà diǎn yǔn luò ， dàn bù guǎn rú hé ， zǒng suàn cóng mèng yǎn de huàn jìng lǐ zhèng tuō ， ér qiě huò dé liǎo wú jǐn de hǎo chù 。
虽然差点陨落，但不管如何，总算从梦魇的幻境里挣脱，而且获得了无尽的好处。
Although he nearly perished, he managed to break free from the nightmare illusion and obtained countless benefits.
bù jǐn rú cǐ 。 tā hái yǔ yuàn yuàn huì hé 。
不仅如此。他还与媛媛汇合。
Moreover, he reunited with YuanYuan.
fū qī chóng jù ， bié yǒu yī fān huān xǐ 。
夫妻重聚，别有一番欢喜。
The couple rejoiced at their reunion.
wàng zhe ài qī jiāo měi de liǎn páng ， lín xuān zhù yì dào tā zuǐ jiǎo biān de xuè jì ：“ yuàn yuàn ， nǐ zěn me le ， shì shuí qī fù nǐ ？”
望着爱妻娇美的脸庞，林轩注意到她嘴角边的血迹：“媛媛，你怎么了，是谁欺负你？”
Looking at his beloved wife's beautiful face, Lin Xuan noticed blood on her lips: "YuanYuan, what happened? Who bullied you?"
huà yīn wèi luò ， lín xuān yòu zhāng kǒu jié shé ， lián yǎn jīng dōu dèng dé dà dà de ：“ nǐ de xiū wèi ……”
话音未落，林轩又张口结舌，连眼睛都瞪得大大的：“你的修为……”
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Xuan was speechless and wide-eyed. "Your cultivation..."
suī rán yuàn yuàn shēn shàng ， méi yǒu sàn fà chū yī sī yī háo de yā lì ， dàn róng hé le kǒng què de zhēn líng zhī huǒ 。 tā kě shì huò zhēn jià shí de kǒng què dà míng wáng le ， zài zhēn líng zhōng ， yì shì yǒu shù de qiáng zhě ， gèng bú yào shuō 。 fèng huáng yǔ jīn chì dà péng niǎo de zhēn líng zhī huǒ ， tā yě tóng yàng dé dào le ， zhǐ shì hái méi yǒu lái de jí róng hé 。
虽然媛媛身上，没有散发出一丝一毫的压力，但融合了孔雀的真灵之火。她可是货真价实的孔雀大明王了，在真灵中，亦是有数的强者，更不要说。凤凰与金翅大鹏鸟的真灵之火，她也同样得到了，只是还没有来得及融合。
Although YuanYuan didn’t emit any pressure, having fused with the true spirit fire of a peacock, she had become an actual Peacock Great Brightness. In terms of true spirits, she was one of the few powerful beings. And she also obtained the true spirit fires of phoenixes and golden-winged birds; she just hadn't fused them yet.
ér liǎng rén fēn bié ， yě bù guò qiān nián ér yǐ 。 lín xuān bù zhī dào tā de jīng lì ， xīn zhōng zì rán huì gǎn jué jīng qí 。
而两人分别，也不过千年而已。林轩不知道她的经历，心中自然会感觉惊奇。
They had been apart for only a thousand years. Lin Xuan didn’t know her experiences, so he felt surprised—almost unbelievable.
huò zhě shuō bù kě sī yì 。
或者说不可思议。
After all, true spirits were different from cultivators. Lin Xuan could sense YuanYuan's immense strength, but regarding the realm, it was blurry.
yào zhī dào zhēn líng yǔ xiū shì bù tóng ， lín xuān néng gòu gǎn jué dào yuàn yuàn cǐ shí de qiáng dà 。 rán ér guān yú jìng jiè ， què shì yī piàn mó hú 。
要知道真灵与修士不同，林轩能够感觉到媛媛此时的强大。然而关于境界，却是一片模糊。
True spirits didn't have divisions like Profound Enlightenment, Separation of Consciousness, or Transcending Tribulations.
bì jìng zhēn líng kě méi yǒu dòng xuán 、 fēn shén ， dù jié zhī fēn lái zhe 。
毕竟真灵可没有洞玄、分神，渡劫之分来着。
"YuanYuan..."
“ yuàn yuàn nǐ ……”
“媛媛你……”
Lin Xuan was surprised, and so was the peacock. She had fused with a true spirit fire; what about her husband? He hadn’t even reached this realm after just a thousand years!
lín xuān zài jīng yà de tóng shí ， kǒng què yòu hé cháng bù chà yì ， zì jǐ shì yīn wèi róng hé le zhēn líng zhī huǒ ， kě fū jūn ne ， zhè cái bù guò qiān nián zhī jiǔ ， zěn me jiù xiū liàn dào rú cǐ jìng jiè le ？
林轩在惊讶的同时，孔雀又何尝不诧异，自己是因为融合了真灵之火，可夫君呢，这才不过千年之久，怎么就修炼到如此境界了？
Transcendent Realm late stage!
dù jié hòu qī ！
渡劫后期！
And his power was pure and substantial, far surpassing ordinary cultivators.
ér qiě fǎ lì chún hòu ， yuǎn yuǎn shèng guò le xún cháng xiū xiān zhě 。
而且法力淳厚，远远胜过了寻常修仙者。
How did he cultivate?
fū jūn zěn me xiū liàn de 。
夫君怎么修炼的。
It was unprecedented before him and would be unheard of in the future. YuanYuan almost thought she had misjudged it.
qián wú gǔ rén ， hòu wú lái zhě ， yuàn yuàn jī hū yǐ wéi zì jǐ kàn cuò 。
前无古人，后无来者，媛媛几乎以为自己看错。
She quickly released her divine consciousness to scan everything thoroughly; indeed, it was Transcendent Realm late stage.
máng jiāng shén shí fàng chū ， zǎi zǐ xì xì sǎo miáo le yī biàn ， què shí shì dù jié hòu qī méi cuò 。
忙将神识放出，仔仔细细扫描了一遍，确实是渡劫后期没错。
Not... not just his husband, but also Little Moon Sister. Last time he said they lost contact when ascending to the spirit realm together.
bù …… bù zhǐ shì fū jūn ， hái yǒu yuè ér mèi mèi ， shàng cì fū jūn bú shì shuō ， liǎng rén fēi shēng líng jiè de shí hòu shī sàn le 。
不……不止是夫君，还有月儿妹妹，上次夫君不是说，两人飞升灵界的时候失散了。
Their reunion wasn’t strange, but reaching this realm so soon was unbelievable—especially considering she was only at mid-stage. The speed was too outrageous.
néng gòu chóng féng bù xī qí ， kě yě xiū liàn dào dù jié qī jiù yǒu xiē bù kě sī yì ， suī shuō shì zhōng qī ， zhè sù dù hái shì tài lí pǔ 。
能够重逢不稀奇，可也修炼到渡劫期就有些不可思议，虽说是中期，这速度还是太离谱。
And that woman beside her, although unfamiliar, was undoubtedly a Transcendent Realm powerhouse...
hái yǒu páng biān nà nǚ zǐ ， suī rán miàn róng yǒu xiē mò shēng ， dàn tóng yàng shì dù jié jí bié de qiáng zhě méi cuò …… děng děng ， hǎo xiàng shì dù jié hòu qī de huàn yuè é ， bù yòng hào qí yuàn yuàn wèi hé néng gòu jiāng tā rèn chū ， yào zhī dào tā róng hé le kǒng què de zhēn líng zhī huǒ ， suǒ huò dé de ， kě bù zhǐ shì qiáng dà de lì liàng ， chuán chéng zhōng ， hái bāo hán yǒu zhì huì yǔ jì yì 。
还有旁边那女子，虽然面容有些陌生，但同样是渡劫级别的强者没错……等等，好像是渡劫后期的幻月蛾，不用好奇媛媛为何能够将她认出，要知道她融合了孔雀的真灵之火，所获得的，可不止是强大的力量，传承中，还包含有智慧与记忆。
Wait, it seemed like late stage of Transcendent Realm for the illusory moon moth. There was no need to wonder how YuanYuan recognized her; after all, she had gained not only powerful strength but also wisdom and memories from fusing with the peacock's true spirit fire.
suǒ yǐ rú jīn yuàn yuàn de jiàn shí ， nà kě shì wú yǐ lún bǐ ， lín xuān wàng chén mò jí ， yī yǎn néng gòu jiāng xiǎo dié de běn tǐ rèn chū ， yě jiù méi yǒu shén me xī qí 。
所以如今媛媛的见识，那可是无以伦比，林轩望尘莫及，一眼能够将小蝶的本体认出，也就没有什么稀奇。
Thus, YuanYuan’s knowledge was unparalleled, far beyond Lin Xuan’s reach. Recognizing Little Butterfly’s true form was nothing special.
fū qī liǎ dōu hěn chà yì ， ér zhè qiān nián de jīng lì ， kě shì sān yán liǎng yǔ nán yǐ shuō dé qīng chǔ ， yú shì tā men zhǐ hǎo zhǎo le yí gè dì fāng ， fēn bié jiǎn dān de xù shù le yī xià lí bié hòu de jīng lì 。
夫妻俩都很诧异，而这千年的经历，可是三言两语难以说得清楚，于是他们只好找了一个地方，分别简单的叙述了一下离别后的经历。
Both were surprised by their experiences over a thousand years, which couldn’t be explained in just a few words. So they found a place and briefly recounted their post-separation experiences to each other.
kǒng què de hái hǎo shuō ， jiù shì bèi fèng huáng dài qù róng hé zhēn líng zhī huǒ ， ér lín xuān yǔ yuè ér de jīng lì ， nà kě jiù fēng fù duō cǎi le 。
孔雀的还好说，就是被凤凰带去融合真灵之火，而林轩与月儿的经历，那可就丰富多彩了。
The peacock's experience was straightforward—being taken by the phoenix to fuse with its true spirit fire. But Lin Xuan’s and Little Moon Sister’s stories were much more colorful.
xiàn zài yě méi yǒu shí jiān duō shuō ， guāng shì tiāo zhòng yào de suí yì xù shù ， jiù ràng kǒng què tàn wéi guān zhǐ 。
现在也没有时间多说，光是挑重要的随意叙述，就让孔雀叹为观止。
There wasn’t enough time to elaborate, so they just highlighted the important parts. This left the peacock in awe.
“ yuán lái rú cǐ ， fū jūn yǔ mèi mèi hái zhēn shì yǒu dà fú yuán de rén wù ， nán guài néng gòu zhè me kuài jiù xiū liàn dào dù jié qī le 。”
“原来如此，夫君与妹妹还真是有大福缘的人物，难怪能够这么快就修炼到渡劫期了。”
"Indeed, you two have great fortune; no wonder you reached Transcendent Realm so quickly."
“ yuàn yuàn nǐ ne ， jì shì bèi fèng huáng dài qù róng hé zhēn líng zhī huǒ ， yòu zěn me huì shòu shāng ne ， hái chū xiàn zài cǐ chù ， nán dào shuō ……”
“媛媛你呢，既是被凤凰带去融合真灵之火，又怎么会受伤呢，还出现在此处，难道说……”
"What about you, YuanYuan? You were taken by the phoenix to fuse with its true spirit fire—how did you get injured and end up here?"
lín xuān de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， rán ér tā xīn lǐ ， qí shí yǐn yǐn què yǒu le jǐ fēn cāi cè 。
林轩的声音传入耳朵，然而他心里，其实隐隐却有了几分猜测。
Lin Xuan’s voice echoed. But he had a vague guess in his heart.
bì jìng àn zhào cháng lǐ lái shuō ， zhēn líng kōng jiān ， yīng gāi shì fēi cháng ān quán ， ér qiě yuàn yuàn zhè zhǒng qíng kuàng ， hái yǒu fèng huáng zài àn zhōng shǒu hù ， yú qíng yú lǐ ， dōu bù yīng gāi yù jiàn wēi xiǎn 。
毕竟按照常理来说，真灵空间，应该是非常安全，而且媛媛这种情况，还有凤凰在暗中守护，于情于理，都不应该遇见危险。
After all, according to common sense, the true spirit realm should be very safe, and YuanYuan's situation was protected by the phoenix. There shouldn’t have been any danger for her.
zhēn líng kōng jiān ， gèng bú shì xún cháng xiū shì néng gòu chū rù ……
真灵空间，更不是寻常修士能够出入……
The true spirit realm wasn't something ordinary cultivators could enter...
jiāng zhè xiē kě néng xìng yī yī pái chú ， shèng xià de jiù hěn hǎo cāi cè ， dá àn kě yǐ shuō ， yǐ jīng hū zhī yù chū 。
将这些可能性一一排除，剩下的就很好猜测，答案可以说，已经呼之欲出。
Eliminating these possibilities left only one conclusion—answer in sight.
zhēn xiān ！
真仙！
True Immortal!
“ yuàn yuàn ， nán dào shì nǐ yù jiàn le zhēn xiān ？”
“媛媛，难道是你遇见了真仙？”
"YuanYuan, did you encounter a True Immortal?"
“ bù cuò ， duì fāng zì chēng dào zǔ ， shuō shì yào jì liàn shén me ， wàn juàn tiān shū ……”
“不错，对方自称道祖，说是要祭炼什么，万卷天书……”
"Yes, he called himself a Daoist Ancestor and said he was going to refine the Ten Thousand Volume Heavenly Book..."
“ nǐ shuō shén me ， dào zǔ ， wàn juàn tiān shū ？”
“你说什么，道祖，万卷天书？”
"What? A Daoist Ancestor, Ten Thousand Volume Heavenly Book?"
yuàn yuàn huà yīn gāng luò ， sì rén de ěr biān ， jiù chuán lái le yī shēng jīng hū 。
媛媛话音刚落，四人的耳边，就传来了一声惊呼。
Just as YuanYuan finished speaking, a shout echoed in their ears.
nà shēng yīn shàng yuǎn ， què rú tóng jīng léi yì bān de huí xiǎng yú ěr biān ， yuàn yuàn liǎn sè dà biàn ， shén me rén lái dào fù jìn jìng rán néng gòu jiāng tā men de ěr mù mán guò 。
那声音尚远，却如同惊雷一般的回响于耳边，媛媛脸色大变，什么人来到附近竟然能够将他们的耳目瞒过。
The voice was far away but reverberated like thunder. YuanYuan’s expression changed dramatically—what kind of person could come so close without being detected?
ér lín xuān de biǎo qíng ， zé yào zhèn dìng xǔ duō ， shèn zhì kě yǐ shuō ， dài zhe nà me jǐ fēn jīng xǐ zhī sè ， yī bǎ jiāng ài qī lā zhù ：“ bù yòng jǐn zhāng ， shì zì jǐ rén 。”
而林轩的表情，则要镇定许多，甚至可以说，带着那么几分惊喜之色，一把将爱妻拉住：“不用紧张，是自己人。”
Lin Xuan's demeanor remained calm, even showing some excitement: "Don’t be nervous; it’s one of us."
“ zì jǐ rén ？”
“自己人？”
"One of us?"
“ bù cuò ！”
“不错！”
"Indeed!"
lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū le yī lǚ xiào róng ， jiāng tóu lú huí guò ， zhǐ jiàn tiān biān jí yuǎn zhī chù ， chū xiàn le yí gè guāng diǎn ， fēng chí diàn chè ， rú jí guāng yì bān de fēi lüè ér guò ， hěn kuài jiù jiē jìn le 。
林轩脸上露出了一缕笑容，将头颅回过，只见天边极远之处，出现了一个光点，风驰电掣，如极光一般的飞掠而过，很快就接近了。
A smile appeared on Lin Xuan's face as he turned his head to see a light point far in the distance. It flew swiftly like aurora, quickly approaching.
guāng máng shōu liǎn ， lù chū yī jué měi nǚ zi de róng yán 。
光芒收敛，露出一绝美女子的容颜。
The light faded, revealing a beautiful woman’s face.
qì zhì yì shì gāo yǎ yǐ jí ！
气质亦是高雅以极！
Her demeanor was also extremely elegant!
yǔ tóng xiān zi ！
雨桐仙子！
RainTong Immortal!
gù yǒu chóng féng ， lín xuān liǎn shàng yì shì huān xǐ ， rán ér yǔ tóng xiān zi de biǎo qíng ， què shì nán kàn yǐ jí ：“ nǐ shuō shén me ， nà jiā huo zì chēng dào zǔ ， yào jì liàn wàn juàn tiān shū ？”( wèi wán dài xù 。。)
故友重逢，林轩脸上亦是欢喜，然而雨桐仙子的表情，却是难看以极：“你说什么，那家伙自称道祖，要祭炼万卷天书？”(未完待续。。)
Seeing an old friend again, Lin Xuan was delighted. But RainTong Immortal's expression was terrible: "You said that guy called himself a Daoist Ancestor and wanted to refine the Ten Thousand Volume Heavenly Book?" (To be continued...)
In the dimensional space, it was indeed troublesome. If other beings were thrown here, they would probably despair. But Tian Xiang, as a Daoist Ancestor, naturally wouldn't give up. In another universe...
He wanted to trap himself, but that was just wishful thinking!
With his eyes closed, he began to sense the laws of this universe, which were completely different from what he had previously understood—after all, it was a different universe.
But that didn’t matter.
For him, it wasn't an issue; it merely meant spending more time.
Tian Xiang’s face was filled with a cold smile.
Thus, time passed one by one. In the vast space of the universe, it was hard to accurately measure time—perhaps just a day had passed, or maybe a whole year.
Tian Xiang wasn’t sure either; after all, the rules and methods for calculating time here might be entirely different from before.
He could only speculate, but he felt that a long time had passed.
With this universe’s rules, Tian Xiang finally had some understanding, though it was still far from complete.
He was slightly anxious, not because he feared being trapped forever. He was confident in his strength; how could an dimensional space hold him? In the end, it would just be lingering for a bit longer.
If it were another time, this wouldn’t even be an issue.
But now, with the light arc appearing and the path to immortality becoming clear, exactly 5 million years had passed.
The path to immortality in the three thousand worlds might reopen. The Asura King chose rebirth, while Huayu’s fate was uncertain.
Better safe than sorry—his presence was needed in the heavenly realm to prevent any mishaps or errors.
"This damned true dragon..."
A trace of resentment appeared on Tian Xiang's face; he couldn’t afford to be anxious at this time point.
But how could he gain insight into the laws of the universe by rushing? What should he do?
Tian Xiang was pondering his escape when suddenly, something unexpected happened. A distant voice entered his ears, incredibly melodious and carrying an overwhelming aura...
...
Tian Xiang’s situation aside, let's return to Lin Xuan. He had gained a stroke of luck.
Although he nearly perished, he managed to break free from the nightmare illusion and obtained countless benefits.
Moreover, he reunited with YuanYuan.
The couple rejoiced at their reunion.
Looking at his beloved wife's beautiful face, Lin Xuan noticed blood on her lips: "YuanYuan, what happened? Who bullied you?"
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Xuan was speechless and wide-eyed. "Your cultivation..."
Although YuanYuan didn’t emit any pressure, having fused with the true spirit fire of a peacock, she had become an actual Peacock Great Brightness.

"YuanYuan, did you encounter a True Immortal?"
"Yes, he called himself a Daoist Ancestor and said he was going to refine the Ten Thousand Volume Heavenly Book..."
