bǎi liàn chéng xiān dì sān juǎn yōu zhōu luàn dì wǔ bǎi líng yī zhāng líng lì zhī jié
百炼成仙第三卷幽州乱第五百零一章灵力之劫
The strange phenomenon began from there.
kè yì xiàng yě shì yóu nà lǐ kāi shǐ 。
刻异象也是由那里开始。
Within a hundred miles, the aura of essence energy rushed towards the valley. In the sky above, countless visible light points appeared, as if myriad rivers flowing into the sea were rushing toward this side.
fāng yuán bǎi lǐ nèi de líng qì 。 dōu fēng kuáng de xiàng xiá gǔ jù jí 。 tiān kōng zhī zhōng 。 chū xiàn liǎo wú shù ròu yǎn kě jiàn de guāng diǎn 。 yǒu wàn liú rù hǎi 。 cháo zhe zhè biān bēn téng ér 。
方圆百里内的灵气。都疯狂的向峡谷聚集。天空之中。出现了无数肉眼可见的光点。有万流入海。朝着这边奔腾而。
Originally, it was cold and chilly, but now the temperature gradually rose. Among those colorful essence energy lights, red ones predominated.
yuán běn chūn hán liào qiào 。 qì què kāi shǐ zhú jiàn shēng gāo 。 nà xiē wǔ cǎi bān lán de líng lì guāng diǎn zhī zhōng 。 yě yǐ hóng sè zuì wèi jū duō 。
原本春寒料峭。气却开始逐渐升高。那些五彩斑斓的灵力光点之中。也以红色最为居多。
Lin Xuan was momentarily stunned, but quickly understood why. The True Scripture of Scarlet Primordial Essence, which Master Tongyu primarily cultivated, was inherently a top-grade fire attribute cultivation technique. At this moment, forming an infant spirit naturally meant the reaction to fire essence energy would be the strongest.
lín xuān xiān shì yí zhèng 。 bù guò suí jí jiù wèi zhī shì rán 。 tōng yǔ zhēn rén zhǔ xiū de 《 chì yuán jué 》。 běn jiù shì huǒ shǔ xìng de dǐng jiē gōng fǎ 。 cǐ kè jié yīng 。 zì rán shì huǒ líng lì fǎn yìng zuì dà 。
林轩先是一怔。不过随即就为之释然。通羽真人主修的《赤元诀》。本就是火属性的顶阶功法。此刻结婴。自然是火灵力反应最大。
But this was merely just beginning. As time passed, more and more essence energy gathered, devouring each other until they formed a continuous mass. In no time at all, a red cloud area of dozens of acres appeared above Spirit Herb Mountain.
ér zhè bù guò shì gāng gāng kāi shǐ 。 suí zhe shí jiān de liú shì 。 líng lì yuè lái yuè duō 。 bìng hù xiāng tūn shì 。 lián chéng yì qǐ 。 bù xiāo piàn kè 。 yí miàn jī yuē yǒu shù shí mǔ dà xiǎo de hóng sè yún cǎi chū xiàn zài le líng yào shān shàng kōng 。
而这不过是刚刚开始。随着时间的流逝。灵力越来越多。并互相吞噬。连成一起。不消片刻。一面积约有数十亩大小的红色云彩出现在了灵药山上空。
"Could this be..."
“ zhè nán dào shì 。”
“这难道是。”
A look of realization flashed across Lin Xuan's face as he mentally recalled an ancient text he had read before. Generally speaking, only cultivators entering the Separation Stage and about to ascend to the Spiritual Realm would encounter the Lesser Heavenly Tribulation. However, fate for Daoists varied. Some were particularly unlucky and faced tribulations when forming their infant spirits.
lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī rán 。 xīn niàn diàn zhuǎn 。 huí yì qǐ yǐ qián suǒ kàn guò de mǒu běn gǔ jí 。 yì bān lái shuō 。 xiū shì zhǐ yǒu jìn rù lí hé qī 。 jiāng yào fēi shēng líng jiè zhī shí 。 cái huì yíng lái sān jiǔ xiǎo tiān jié 。
林轩脸上露出一丝然。心念电转。回忆起以前所看过的某本古籍。一般来说。修士只有进入离合期。将要飞升灵界之时。才会迎来三九小天劫。
Of course, its power was far less than that of a Nine Heavens Tribulation, but it could still level this place.
rán ér xiān dào yùn 。 yě shì yīn rén ér yì de 。 yǒu xiē rén tè bié dǎo méi 。 zài níng jié yuán yīng de shí hòu 。 jiù huì yīng jié 。
然而仙道运。也是因人而异的。有些人特别倒霉。在凝结元婴的时候。就会应劫。
Lin Xuan and Shen Ao Tian exchanged glances. Although the six senior elders' personal qualities were not discussed here, they all knew there wasn't much time to argue. While the tribulation faced by Master Tongyu was his own matter, the saying "when the city gate is on fire, even fish in the moat suffer" applied. No matter how deep their personal grudges might be, they couldn't abandon him at this critical moment.
dāng rán 。 qí wēi yuǎn yuǎn wú fǎ jiǔ tiān xiāng bǐ 。 dàn yě jué kě yǐ jiāng zhè ér yí wèi píng de 。
当然。其威远远无法九天相比。但也绝可以将这儿夷为平的。
Helping Master Tongyu now meant helping themselves.
lín xuān hé shěn ào tiān duì shì yī yǎn 。 liù dà zhǎng lǎo rén pǐn zàn qiě bù tán 。 jiàn shí yě dōu guǎng bó yǐ jí 。 cǐ kè zì rán shì mǎn liǎn de yì 。
林轩和沈傲天对视一眼。六大长老人品暂且不谈。见识也都广博以极。此刻自然是满脸的异。
Regardless of what others thought, Shen Ao Tian understood this clearly. Therefore, when Lin Xuan ordered the condensation period cultivators to gather, he didn’t stop but instead nodded in approval and began issuing orders as well, instructing his subordinates to bring crystals and guard each node of the protective array.
hǎo zài wèi le fáng yù wài dí 。 hù pài dà yǐ rán kāi qǐ 。
好在为了防御外敌。护派大已然开启。
Unlike individual combat techniques, which required a smaller area, this protective array covered a much wider region. Relying solely on the power from the array disks and flags was far insufficient; thus, many crystals were needed.
bù guò líng lì zhī jié suī wú fǎ hé tiān jié xiāng bǐ 。 néng fǒu dǎng xià hái shì yí gè wèn tí 。
不过灵力之劫虽无法和天劫相比。能否挡下还是一个问题。
Usually, higher-grade arrays consumed more crystals.
“ chuán lìng xià qù 。 ràng suǒ yǒu de níng dān qī zhǎng lǎo quán dōu zhè lǐ 。” lín xuān xiàng shēn páng de yī zhù jī qī zhí shì fēn fù ：“ hái yǒu ràng rén qù qǐng shī zǔ 。”
“传令下去。让所有的凝丹期长老全都这里。”林轩像身旁的一筑基期执事吩咐：“还有让人去请师祖。”
With Spirit Herb Mountain's current strength, the protective array was no small matter. The number of crystals used for each activation counted in thousands.
rú guǒ hù pài dà zhèn káng bú zhù 。 yě zhǐ yǒu zì jǐ zhè xiē rén hé lì yìng jiē le 。 lín xuān xīn zhōng àn àn jiào kǔ 。 zǎo zhī dào bù yīng gāi zhè me kuài huí de níng jié yuán yīng de shí hòu què yào yīng jié 。 zhè zhǒng jī lǜ kě shì bǎi bù cún yī 。 zì jǐ zhè shī zūn yùn qì hái zhēn ràng rén wú yǔ 。
如果护派大阵扛不住。也只有自己这些人合力硬接了。林轩心中暗暗叫苦。早知道不应该这么快回的凝结元婴的时候却要应劫。这种几率可是百不存一。自己这师尊运气还真让人无语。
Disciples watched over each node, ensuring they could quickly replenish when necessary to avoid the situation where the fire tribulation broke through but the essence energy crystals were exhausted and the array deactivated itself.
qí shí gēn běn bù yòng ràng rén qù qǐng 。 cǐ kè fēng dǐng nà gū líng líng de dòng fǔ zhī zhōng 。 xú jǐn qīng yǐ shì bó rán biàn sè sōu de yī xià qǐ lái le 。
其实根本不用让人去请。此刻峰顶那孤零零的洞府之中。徐锦青已是勃然变色嗖的一下起来了。
Unity is strength. For their own safety, everyone had to put aside their petty concerns. Orders were issued one after another.
zhè yì xiàng zěn me huí shì líng lì zhī jié 。 běn mén de xīng wàng jìng lái le tiān dù ？
这异象怎么回事灵力之劫。本门的兴旺竟来了天妒？
Orders were carried out without hesitation. Not only did low-rank disciples perform their duties, but even the condensation period elders flew over in groups. As they watched this strange scene, many faces showed expressions of shock and fear.
cǐ kè 。 tā de xīn zhōng shì yòu jīng yòu nù bù guò yǐn yǐn de 。 yě yǒu yī huān xǐ 。
此刻。他的心中是又惊又怒不过隐隐的。也有一欢喜。
"Senior Brother Shen, please give orders when it comes."
wú tā 。 huì yǐn lái jié nàn 。 zhèng míng yuán yīng yǐ jīng chéng xíng 。 zhǐ bù guò shàng wèi wěn gù 。 ér qiě gù lǎo xiāng chuán 。 zhè zhǒng jīng líng lì zhī jié ér chéng yīng de xiū shì shén tōng xiū wèi yào bǐ pǔ tōng de yuán yīng xiū shì gèng shèng yī chóu 。
无他。会引来劫难。证明元婴已经成形。只不过尚未稳固。而且故老相传。这种经灵力之劫而成婴的修士神通修为要比普通的元婴修士更胜一筹。
"You're too kind, Junior Door Master. Respect is due, but since you are older, I should follow your lead," Shen Ao Tian waved his hands modestly.
suǒ wèi fú huò xiāng yī jiù shì zhè ge dào lǐ 。
所谓福祸相依就是这个道理。
But Lin Xuan knew better. This was merely a facade. Retreat to advance; one needed both strength and flexibility in dealing with situations like this.
dāng rán rú jīn xiǎng zhè xiē tài zǎo le xiē 。 dāng wù zhī jí shì yào bāng tōng yǔ ān rán dù zhè cì wēi jī 。
当然如今想这些太早了些。当务之急是要帮通羽安然度这次危机。
Of course, the most important thing was that Lin Xuan had no intention of vying for power or control.
xiǎng dào zhè lǐ 。 xú lǎo de biǎo qíng biàn de níng zhòng ér jiān dìng 。 shēn xíng yī huǎng 。 huà wèi le yī dào zǐ guāng 。 chū lái dòng fǔ 。 xiàng xiá - fù jìn diàn shè ér qù 。
想到这里。徐老的表情变的凝重而坚定。身形一晃。化为了一道紫光。出来洞府。像峡-附近电射而去。
"Senior Brother, you shouldn't say such things. My abilities are far inferior to yours. With the fire tribulation about to come, your refusal would put me at a disadvantage."
lín xuān chù biàn bù jīng 。 ràng dà zhí fǎ zhǎng lǎo guā mù xiāng kàn 。 kàn lái zhè wèi shǎo zhǔ dào yě bìng fēi pǔ tōng de kǔ xiū zhī shì 。 nián jì qīng qīng 。 què yǒu zhè bān chéng fǔ 。 zhe shí ràng rén pèi fú 。
林轩处变不惊。让大执法长老刮目相看。看来这位少主倒也并非普通的苦修之士。年纪轻轻。却有这般城府。着实让人佩服。
"Indeed," Shen Ao Tian pretended to think before opening his mouth to agree. However, a purple flash of light approached from afar and suddenly appeared in front of them.
dàn xiàn zài yě méi yǒu shí jiān jì jiào zhè xiē 。 yīng jié de suī shì tōng yǔ 。 dàn yǒu yī jù huà 。 jiào zuò chéng mén shī huǒ yāng jí chí yú 。 zì jǐ yǔ tā sī dǐ xià yǒu zài shēn de jiè dì 。 yě bù kě néng zài cǐ kè qì zhī ér qù 。 kě zhǐ yào liú zài zhè lǐ 。 jiù bù néng bì miǎn de yào shòu bō jí 。
但现在也没有时间计较这些。应劫的虽是通羽。但有一句话。叫做城门失火殃及池鱼。自己与他私底下有再深的芥蒂。也不可能在此刻弃之而去。可只要留在这里。就不能避免的要受波及。
"Uncle," everyone bowed respectfully.
shuō jù tōng sú yì dǒng de yán yǔ 。 tóng zhōu gòng jì 。 cǐ kè bāng tōng yǔ jiù shì bāng zì jǐ 。
说句通俗易懂的言语。同舟共济。此刻帮通羽就是帮自己。
"Enough," Dugu Qing said without much interest in the trivialities. His spiritual sense swept across the area, covering any movement within dozens of miles. His expression changed several times but ultimately he felt satisfied. These useless brats schemed daily, but at critical moments, they knew how to act and understand the bigger picture.
bù guǎn qí tā rén xīn zhōng shì zěn me xiǎng de 。 zhè ge dào lǐ shěn ào tiān kě shì xīn rú míng jìng shì de 。 suǒ yǐ jiàn lín xuān ràng níng dān qī xiū jù jí 。 tā bù jǐn méi yǒu zǔ zhǐ 。 fǎn ér mù lù zàn xǔ zhī yì 。 rán hòu yě kāi shǐ fēn fù 。 ràng dì men fēn bié dài shàng jīng shí 。 qù hù pài dà zhèn de gè gè jié diǎn shǒu hù 。
不管其他人心中是怎么想的。这个道理沈傲天可是心如明镜似的。所以见林轩让凝丹期修聚集。他不仅没有阻止。反而目露赞许之意。然后也开始吩咐。让弟们分别带上晶石。去护派大阵的各个节点守护。
All preparations were well done.
yǔ dān rén dòu fǎ suǒ yòng de tóng 。 zhè zhǒng hù pài dà zhèn suǒ lǒng zhào de miàn jī yào kuān guǎng de duō 。 dān kào zhèn pán zhèn qí nà diǎn líng lì shì yuǎn yuǎn wú fǎ zhī chēng de 。 suǒ yǐ yào ān shàng dà liàng de jīng shí 。
与单人斗法所用的同。这种护派大阵所笼罩的面积要宽广的多。单靠阵盘阵旗那点灵力是远远无法支撑的。所以要安上大量的晶石。
"Since Uncle has come, please take charge," Lin Xuan and Shen Ao Tian spoke in unison, then quickly looked away from each other.
tōng cháng yuè gāo jí 。 xiāo hào de jīng shí yě yuè duō 。
通常越高级。消耗的晶石也越多。
"What do you mean by 'take charge'? You have done very well. Now everyone should work together to face this tribulation."
yǐ líng yào shān rú jīn de shí lì 。 hù pài dà zhèn zì rán shì fēi tóng xiǎo kě 。 yī cì qǐ dòng suǒ yòng de jīng shí jiù yǐ wàn zuò wéi jì shù 。
以灵药山如今的实力。护派大阵自然是非同小可。一次启动所用的晶石就以万作为计数。
"Respect the decree."
gè gè jié diǎn dōu yǒu dì zǐ kān shǒu 。 zhè yàng dāng shí hào - qián jiù kě yǐ kuài sù de dào bǔ chōng 。 bì miǎn wèi bèi huǒ jié gōng pò què chū xiàn líng shí hào jìn ér zì wǒ jiě chú de wū lóng shì le 。
各个节点都有弟子看守。这样当石耗-前就可以快速的到补充。避免未被火劫攻破却出现灵石耗尽而自我解除的乌龙事了。
Ninety condensation period cultivators bowed respectfully.
suǒ wèi tóng xīn tóng dé 。 cǐ kè wèi le gè zì de xiǎo mìng zhuó xiǎng dà jiā yě zhǐ néng shōu qǐ le xīn zhōng de xiǎo jiǔ jiǔ 。 yī tiáo tiáo mìng lìng fā xià qù 。
所谓同心同德。此刻为了各自的小命着想大家也只能收起了心中的小九九。一条条命令发下去。
Then they all turned their gaze inward, holding back feelings of excitement, worry, and fear as they waited for the heavenly tribulation to descend.
lìng xíng jìn zhǐ 。 bù jǐn dī jiē dì zǐ gè shī qí zhí 。 nà xiē níng dān qī zhǎng lǎo yě sān wǔ chéng qún de fēi guò lái le 。 kàn zhe zhè bān yì jǐng 。 bù shǎo rén de liǎn shàng dōu lù chū jīng huáng de biǎo qíng 。
令行禁止。不仅低阶弟子各施其职。那些凝丹期长老也三五成群的飞过来了。看着这般异景。不少人的脸上都露出惊惶的表情。
Unlike others' tension, Master Tongyu in the valley was the most relaxed among his fellow sect members. He sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, forming two hand seals on his knees.
“ shěn shī xiōng 。 yī huì er hái qǐng nǐ fā hào shī lìng 。”
“沈师兄。一会儿还请你发号施令。”
A fire-red light ball about the size of a head floated before him, containing an infant no larger than an inch. The infant's appearance and physique were identical to Master Tongyu, sitting cross-legged with hands in specific gestures.
“ shǎo mén zhǔ tài kè qì le 。 suǒ wèi zūn bēi yǒu xù 。 shěn mǒu suī rán xū zhǎng le jǐ suì nián jì 。 dàn zhè gāi yǐ nǐ wéi zhǔ cái shì 。” shěn ào tiān lián bǎi shǒu 。 tài dù qiān xū 。
“少门主太客气了。所谓尊卑有序。沈某虽然虚长了几岁年纪。但这该以你为主才是。”沈傲天连摆手。态度谦虚。
This was the newly formed infant spirit. However, its form was still unstable, so even though Master Tongyu had already overcome the most difficult part, he did not dare relax or slack off. He continued refining his infant spirit using all his power.
dàn lín xuān xīn zhī dù míng 。 fāng bù guò shì kè ér yǐ 。 suǒ wèi tuì yī bù hǎi kuò tiān kōng 。 zuò rén xū yào gāng róu bìng jì 。 zhè shí hòu qiāng fēng tóu shì hěn bù míng zhì de 。
但林轩心知肚明。方不过是客而已。所谓退一步海阔天空。做人需要刚柔并济。这时候抢风头是很不明智的。
As for the essence energy tribulation outside, he knew about it too. But after feeling frustrated and sighing, he chose to ignore it, pretending not to know.
dāng rán 。 zuì zhòng yì diǎn 。 lín xuān běn jiù méi yǒu xīn sī zhēng quán duó lì 。
当然。最重一点。林轩本就没有心思争权夺利。
Firstly, as an infant spirit just formed, he had no extra energy to spare.
“ shī xiōng shuō zhè xiē jiù bú duì le 。 xiǎo dì bù lùn xiū wèi shén tōng 。 dōu yuǎn bù jí nǐ 。 yǎn kāi huǒ jié jiù yào lái lín 。 shī xiōng tuī cí kě shì xiàn xiǎo dì yú bú yì 。
“师兄说这些就不对了。小弟不论修为神通。都远不及你。眼开火劫就要来临。师兄推辞可是陷小弟于不义。
Secondly, there were many fellow sect members outside who could handle their own affairs.
“ zhè 。” shěn ào tiān jiǎ zuò chén yín 。 zuǐ bā yī zhāng 。 zhèng yù dā yìng 。 yī dào zǐ sè de jīng máng què yóu yuǎn jí jìn 。 guāng huá yī liǎn 。 xiàn chū le xú lǎo guài níng zhòng de róng yán 。
“这。”沈傲天假作沉吟。嘴巴一张。正欲答应。一道紫色的惊芒却由远及近。光华一敛。现出了徐老怪凝重的容颜。
This was the advantage of being from a prestigious family. If it were some small sect or an eccentric solitary cultivator, they would likely only sit and wait for death when faced with such tribulations.
“ shī shū 。” zhòng rén yì qǐ gōng shēn xíng lǐ 。
“师叔。”众人一起躬身行礼。
Such incidents had occurred in the cultivation world before.
“ bà le 。” xú jǐn qīng cǐ kè nǎ yǒu xīn qíng jiào zhè xiē 。 shén shí chū 。 lüè lüè yī sǎo 。 fāng yuán shù shí lǐ de rèn hé fēng chuī cǎo dòng 。 jiù jǐn rù tā de zhǎng wò 。
“罢了。”徐锦青此刻哪有心情较这些。神识出。略略一扫。方圆数十里的任何风吹草动。就尽入他的掌握。
As time passed, the area of the cloud continued to expand, reaching temperatures unbearable by now. The base-level disciples were still fine, but the lower-ranking disciples from the灵动期 already panted heavily, opening their protective barriers.
liǎn shàng shén sè biàn huàn bù yǐ dàn zuì hòu què gǎn dào shí fēn mǎn yì 。 zhè jǐ gè bù chéng qì de xiǎo zi 。 píng rì lǐ gōu xīn dòu jiǎo 。 dàn guān jiàn shí kè 。 què yě zhī dào bǎ wò 。 shí de dà tǐ 。
脸上神色变幻不已但最后却感到十分满意。这几个不成器的小子。平日里勾心斗角。但关键时刻。却也知道把握。识的大体。
Boom! The fiery clouds churned and grew thicker, brighter with each passing moment.
gè zhǒng bù zhì dōu hěn bú cuò
各种布置都很不错
Finally, a striking pillar of fire about a dozen feet thick descended like a lightning bolt piercing the sky.
“ shī shū jì rán lái le 。 lǐ hái qǐng nǐ zhǔ chí dà jú 。” lín xuān hé shěn ào yì kǒu tóng shēng 。 duì shì le yī yǎn 。 dàn suí jí yòu gè zì ruò wú qí shì de zhuǎn guò le tóu qù 。
“师叔既然来了。里还请你主持大局。”林轩和沈傲异口同声。对视了一眼。但随即又各自若无其事的转过了头去。
The low-rank cultivators' faces showed shock. Some even screamed in fear.
“ hái zhǔ chí shén 。 nǐ | zuò de hěn hǎo 。 jiē xià lái dà jiā tóng xīn xié lì 。 yīng jié jiù shì 。”
“还主持什。你|做的很好。接下来大家同心协力。应劫就是。”
But Lin Xuan and others didn't blink. This was just the beginning.
“ zūn fǎ yù 。”
“尊法谕。”
As they watched the fire column approach within a hundred paces, a light shield suddenly appeared in the void. The shield was pale blue, thin as paper but shimmering with essence energy, indicating its formidable power.
jìn bǎi wèi níng dān qī xiū shì shēn xíng lǐ 。
近百位凝丹期修士身行礼。
Generally, sects had three types of mountain restrictions: defense-focused, attack-focused, or both. For example, the Cloud Splitting Light Array of Mount Tianmu, which caused even old infant spirits to worry, was an offensive array.
rán hòu gè zì jiāng mù guāng shōu 。 huái zhāng xīng fèn dān xīn wèi jù děng fù zá de xīn qíng děng dài tiān jié jiàng lín 。
然后各自将目光收。怀张兴奋担心畏惧等复杂的心情等待天劫降临。
While such arrays could instill fear in enemies, their defensive capabilities were abysmal.
yǔ zhòng rén de jǐn zhāng bù 。 cǐ kè xiá gǔ zhōng de tōng yǔ zhēn rén fǎn ér chéng le mén pài zhōng zuì wèi qīng sōng yì de yí gè 。
与众人的紧张不。此刻峡谷中的通羽真人反而成了门派中最为轻松意的一个。
Fortunately, Spirit Herb Mountain's "Five Water Wave Array" was just the opposite. This defensive array excelled at dealing with heavenly tribulations.
cǐ kè tā pán xī ér zuò 。 móu jǐn bì 。 liǎng gè zì le yí gè fǎ yìn 。 píng fán yú xī gài zhī shàng 。
此刻他盘膝而坐。眸紧闭。两各自了一个法印。平凡于膝盖之上。
Moreover, water and fire canceled each other out, creating a synergistic effect.
zài tā xiōng qián 。 xuán fú zhe yī - tóu dà xiǎo de huǒ hóng guāng qiú 。 guāng qiú zhī zhōng 。 bāo guǒ zhe yī cùn xǔ dà xiǎo de yīng ér 。 róng mào shēn cái 。 yǔ tōng yǔ zhēn rén bié wú èr zhì 。 tóng yàng shì pán xī ér zuò 。 liǎng shǒu qiā jué de yàng zi 。
在他胸前。悬浮着一-头大小的火红光球。光球之中。包裹着一寸许大小的婴儿。容貌身材。与通羽真人别无二致。同样是盘膝而坐。两手掐诀的样子。
The first wave of attacks was easily blocked, but this was merely a test.
zhè jiù shì gāng gāng níng chéng de yīng le 。 rán ér cǐ kè 。 xíng tài wèi wěn 。 gù ér tōng yǔ zhēn rén suī rán yǐ jīng dù guò le zuì jiān nán de guò chéng 。 què sī háo yě bù gǎn xiè dài tōu lǎn 。 jì xù yùn yòng hún shēn de fǎ lì 。 níng liàn yuán yīng 。
这就是刚刚凝成的婴了。然而此刻。形态未稳。故而通羽真人虽然已经度过了最艰难的过程。却丝毫也不敢懈怠偷懒。继续运用浑身的法力。凝炼元婴。
Boom!
zhì yú wài miàn de líng lì zhī jié 。 tā dāng rán yě shì xīn zhī dù míng 。 dàn yù mèn tàn xī zhī yú 。 yě zhǐ yǒu shì ruò wú dǔ 。 quán zuò bù zhī liǎo 。
至于外面的灵力之劫。他当然也是心知肚明。但郁闷叹息之余。也只有视若无睹。权做不知了。
The fiery clouds churned, emitting deep thunderous sounds from within.
yī lái 。 tā yuán yīng chū chéng 。 shí zài méi yǒu jīng lì fēn xīn 。
一来。他元婴初成。实在没有精力分心。
Several seconds later, dozens of fire columns shot out simultaneously, much thicker than the previous ones.
èr lái wài miàn hái yǒu zhū duō tóng mén 。| zì xiǎng bàn fǎ yìng fù 。
二来外面还有诸多同门。|自想办法应付。
This time, not only did base-level cultivators react, but even Dugu Qing and the condensation period elders' expressions turned grim.
zhè jiù shì shēng zài míng mén dà de hǎo chù 。 jiǎ shì yī xiē xiǎo mén xiǎo pài 。 huò shì sàn xiū zhōng de nì tiān rén wù 。 chéng yīng shí què dǎo méi de yǐn lái tiān 。 nà shí zhī ** dōu zhǐ yǒu zuò zhe děng sǐ 。
这就是生在名门大的好处。假是一些小门小派。或是散修中的逆天人物。成婴时却倒霉的引来天。那十之**都只有坐着等死。
Essence energy flashed wildly as the shield's color gradually faded before their eyes.
xiū xiān jiè guò qù bú shì méi yǒu fā shēng guò zhè zhǒng shì 。
修仙界过去不是没有发生过这种事。
"What are you all doing? Quickly replenish the crystals."
suí zhe shí jiān de liú shì 。 nà yún cǎi de miàn jī hái zài bù duàn kuò dà 。 wēn dù yǐ jīng shàng shēng dào le ràng rén nán yǐ rěn shòu de de bù 。 zhù jī qī xiū shì hái hǎo 。 líng dòng qī de dī jiē dì zǐ yǐ shì qì chuǎn xū xū 。 bù de bù gè zì dǎ kāi le hù zhào 。
随着时间的流逝。那云彩的面积还在不断扩大。温度已经上升到了让人难以忍受的的步。筑基期修士还好。灵动期的低阶弟子已是气喘吁吁。不的不各自打开了护罩。
Shen Ao Tian took a deep breath. He didn't know what secret technique he used, but his voice carried clearly even to those ten miles away.
hōng lōng 。 nà huǒ yún bù duàn de fān yǒng 。 yuè lái yuè hòu 。 yě yuè lái yuè liàng le 。
轰隆。那火云不断的翻涌。越来越厚。也越来越亮了。
The disciples at each node nodded and scrambled to replace the crystals. In that instant, several thousand were consumed, but no one cared about the cost. If this tribulation couldn't be safely passed, not only would the sect leader suffer, but half of Spirit Mountain might be destroyed.
zhōng yú 。 yī dào cì mù de zhù 。 yuē yǒu ér cū 。 jiù xiàng cì pò - qióng de shǎn diàn yī yàng 。 hěn hěn là xià lái le 。
终于。一道刺目的柱。约有儿粗。就像刺破-穹的闪电一样。狠狠落下来了。
At this moment, the safety of the sect was paramount.
dī jiē xiū shì men miàn dài hài rán zhī sè 。 dǎn xiǎo yī xiē de 。 gèng rěn bú zhù shī shēng jīng hū 。
低阶修士们面带骇然之色。胆小一些的。更忍不住失声惊呼。
Finally, the fiery clouds calmed down. But when Lin Xuan used his spiritual sense to scan, a frown deepened on his face. The nearby essence energy continued to gather, signaling that even more terrifying attacks were coming.
The strange phenomenon began from there.
Within a hundred miles, the aura of essence energy rushed towards the valley. In the sky above, countless visible light points appeared, as if myriad rivers flowing into the sea were rushing toward this side.
Originally, it was cold and chilly, but now the temperature gradually rose. Among those colorful essence energy lights, red ones predominated.
Lin Xuan was momentarily stunned, but quickly understood why. The True Scripture of Scarlet Primordial Essence, which Master Tongyu primarily cultivated, was inherently a top-grade fire attribute cultivation technique. At this moment, forming an infant spirit naturally meant the reaction to fire essence energy would be the strongest.
But this was merely just beginning. As time passed, more and more essence energy gathered, devouring each other until they formed a continuous mass. In no time at all, a red cloud area of dozens of acres appeared above Spirit Herb Mountain.
"Could this be..."
A look of realization flashed across Lin Xuan's face as he mentally recalled an ancient text he had read before. Generally speaking, only cultivators entering the Separation Stage and about to ascend to the Spiritual Realm would encounter the Lesser Heavenly Tribulation. However, fate for Daoists varied. Some were particularly unlucky and faced tribulations when forming their infant spirits.
Of course, its power was far less than that of a Nine Heavens Tribulation, but it could still level this place.
Lin Xuan and Shen Ao Tian exchanged glances. Although the six senior elders' personal qualities were not discussed here, they all knew there wasn't much time to argue. While the tribulation faced by Master Tongyu was his own matter, the saying "when the city gate is on fire, even fish in the moat suffer" applied. No matter how deep their personal grudges might be, they couldn't abandon him at this critical moment.
Helping Master Tongyu now meant helping themselves.
Regardless of what others thought, Shen Ao Tian understood this clearly. Therefore, when Lin Xuan ordered the condensation period cultivators to gather, he didn’t stop but instead nodded in approval and began issuing orders as well, instructing his subordinates to bring crystals and guard each node of the protective array.
Unlike individual combat techniques, which required a smaller area, this protective array covered a much wider region. Relying solely on the power from the array disks and flags was far insufficient; thus, many crystals were needed.
Usually, higher-grade arrays consumed more crystals.
With Spirit Herb Mountain's current strength, the protective array was no small matter. The number of crystals used for each activation counted in thousands.
Disciples watched over each node, ensuring they could quickly replenish when necessary to avoid the situation where the fire tribulation broke through but the essence energy crystals were exhausted and the array deactivated itself.
Unity is strength. For their own safety, everyone had to put aside their petty concerns. Orders were issued one after another.
Orders were carried out without hesitation. Not only did low-rank disciples perform their duties, but even the condensation period elders flew over in groups. As they watched this strange scene, many faces showed expressions of shock and fear.
"Senior Brother Shen, please give orders when it comes."
"You're too kind, Junior Door Master. Respect is due, but since you are older, I should follow your lead," Shen Ao Tian waved his hands modestly.
But Lin Xuan knew better. This was merely a facade. Retreat to advance; one needed both strength and flexibility in dealing with situations like this.
Of course, the most important thing was that Lin Xuan had no intention of vying for power or control.
"Senior Brother, you shouldn't say such things. My abilities are far inferior to yours. With the fire tribulation about to come, your refusal would put me at a disadvantage."
"Indeed," Shen Ao Tian pretended to think before opening his mouth to agree. However, a purple flash of light approached from afar and suddenly appeared in front of them.
"Uncle," everyone bowed respectfully.
"Enough," Dugu Qing said without much interest in the trivialities. His spiritual sense swept across the area, covering any movement within dozens of miles. His expression changed several times but ultimately he felt satisfied. These useless brats schemed daily, but at critical moments, they knew how to act and understand the bigger picture.
All preparations were well done.
"Since Uncle has come, please take charge," Lin Xuan and Shen Ao Tian spoke in unison, then quickly looked away from each other.
"What do you mean by 'take charge'? You have done very well. Now everyone should work together to face this tribulation."
"Respect the decree."
Ninety condensation period cultivators bowed respectfully.
Then they all turned their gaze inward, holding back feelings of excitement, worry, and fear as they waited for the heavenly tribulation to descend.
Unlike others' tension, Master Tongyu in the valley was the most relaxed among his fellow sect members. He sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, forming two hand seals on his knees.
A fire-red light ball about the size of a head floated before him, containing an infant no larger than an inch. The infant's appearance and physique were identical to Master Tongyu, sitting cross-legged with hands in specific gestures.
This was the newly formed infant spirit. However, its form was still unstable, so even though Master Tongyu had already overcome the most difficult part, he did not dare relax or slack off. He continued refining his infant spirit using all his power.
As for the essence energy tribulation outside, he knew about it too. But after feeling frustrated and sighing, he chose to ignore it, pretending not to know.
Firstly, as an infant spirit just formed, he had no extra energy to spare.
Secondly, there were many fellow sect members outside who could handle their own affairs.
This was the advantage of being from a prestigious family. If it were some small sect or an eccentric solitary cultivator, they would likely only sit and wait for death when faced with such tribulations.
Such incidents had occurred in the cultivation world before.
As time passed, the area of the cloud continued to expand, reaching temperatures unbearable by now. The base-level disciples were still fine, but the lower-ranking disciples from the灵动期 already panted heavily, opening their protective barriers.
Boom! The fiery clouds churned and grew thicker, brighter with each passing moment.
Finally, a striking pillar of fire about a dozen feet thick descended like a lightning bolt piercing the sky.
The low-rank cultivators' faces showed shock. Some even screamed in fear.
But Lin Xuan and others didn't blink. This was just the beginning.
As they watched the fire column approach within a hundred paces, a light shield suddenly appeared in the void. The shield was pale blue, thin as paper but shimmering with essence energy, indicating its formidable power.
Generally, sects had three types of mountain restrictions: defense-focused, attack-focused, or both. For example, the Cloud Splitting Light Array of Mount Tianmu, which caused even old infant spirits to worry, was an offensive array.
While such arrays could instill fear in enemies, their defensive capabilities were abysmal.
Fortunately, Spirit Herb Mountain's "Five Water Wave Array" was just the opposite. This defensive array excelled at dealing with heavenly tribulations.
Moreover, water and fire canceled each other out, creating a synergistic effect.
The first wave of attacks was easily blocked, but this was merely a test.
Boom!
The fiery clouds churned, emitting deep thunderous sounds from within.
Several seconds later, dozens of fire columns shot out simultaneously, much thicker than the previous ones.
This time, not only did base-level cultivators react, but even Dugu Qing and the condensation period elders' expressions turned grim.
Essence energy flashed wildly as the shield's color gradually faded before their eyes.
"What are you all doing? Quickly replenish the crystals."
Shen Ao Tian took a deep breath. He didn't know what secret technique he used, but his voice carried clearly even to those ten miles away.
The disciples at each node nodded and scrambled to replace the crystals. In that instant, several thousand were consumed, but no one cared about the cost. If this tribulation couldn't be safely passed, not only would the sect leader suffer, but half of Spirit Mountain might be destroyed.
At this moment, the safety of the sect was paramount.
Finally, the fiery clouds calmed down. But when Lin Xuan used his spiritual sense to scan, a frown deepened on his face. The nearby essence energy continued to gather, signaling that even more terrifying attacks were coming.
