第三卷幽州乱第五百零九章天劫之殇

#### Chapter 509: The Sorrow of the Heavenly Tribulation

zěn me kě néng ？” lín xiān qián 。 suī rán yǐ jīng zuò guò zhè zhǒng chuǎi cè 。 tiān kǒu zhōng zhèng shí 。 hái shì rěn bú zhù dà yī jīng 。

怎么可能？”林先前。虽然已经做过这种揣测。天口中证实。还是忍不住大一惊。

"Is that possible?" Lin Xuan asked in shock. He had already speculated about this, but hearing it confirmed by Master Ma still sent a jolt through him.

“ shǎo zhǔ yǐ wéi yú xiōng piàn nǐ ？”

“少主以为愚兄骗你？”

"Junior Master, do you think I would deceive you?"

“ wǒ bú shì zhè ge yì si 。 zhǐ shì xiū shì bù rù lí hé qī yǐ hòu 。 bú shì yīng gāi mǎ shàng fēi shēng qù líng jiè ma 。 zhè wèi jiǔ lóng tiān zūn zěn me hái huì zhì liú yú cǐ 。 chéng wéi yī pài zǔ shī ？” lín xuān de liǎn shàng mǎn shì bù jiě zhī yì 。

“我不是这个意思。只是修士步入离合期以后。不是应该马上飞升去灵界吗。这位九龙天尊怎么还会滞留于此。成为一派祖师？”林轩的脸上满是不解之意。

"I didn't mean to imply that. But shouldn't cultivators who reach the Separation Realm ascend straightaway to the Spirit Realm? Why is this Nine Dragon Heavenly Sovereign still lingering here and becoming the ancestor of a sect?" Lin Xuan's face was full of不解.

ào tiān le náo tóu ：“ gè zhōng yǐn mì 。 yú xiōng yě bù qīng chǔ 。 zhǐ shì shàng gǔ diǎn jí 。 yì zhí zhè yàng jì zǎi ér yǐ 。”

傲天了挠头：“个中隐秘。愚兄也不清楚。只是上古典籍。一直这样记载而已。”

Lingtian scratched his head, "There are secrets behind it, and I'm not entirely clear on them. But according to ancient texts, that has always been recorded."

“ nà jiù hěn le 。 bǎi wàn nián qián de dōng xī 。 tiān zhī dào shì bù chuán wén yǒu wù 。” lín xuān lù chū bù yǐ wéi rán zhī sè

“那就很了。百万年前的东西。天知道是不传闻有误。”林轩露出不以为然之色

"That makes sense. A million years old—how can we know if the rumors aren't exaggerated," Lin Xuan said with a look of disapproval.

“ bù 。 zhè jiàn shì qíng shì de 。” yì zhí mò de tōng yǔ zhēn rén què chū rén yì liào de kāi kǒu le 。

“不。这件事情是的。”一直默的通羽真人却出人意料的开口了。

"No, this is indeed true." Tongyu Zhenren unexpectedly spoke up despite his silence.

“ ó 。 hái qǐng shī zūn tú ér jiě huò 。” xuān gōng jìng de shuō 。

“哦。还请师尊徒儿解惑。”轩恭敬的说。

"Oh? Please enlighten your disciple," Lin Xuan respectfully said.

“ qí shí yě méi me hào qí guài de 。 xiū shì bù rù lí hé qī yǐ hòu 。 què shí yǒu néng lì pò suì xū kōng 。 fēi shēng líng jiè 。 dàn yě bìng fēi rén rén dū huì zhè me zuò 。”

“其实也没么好奇怪的。修士步入离合期以后。确实有能力破碎虚空。飞升灵界。但也并非人人都会这么做。”

"There's nothing particularly strange about it. Cultivators who reach the Separation Realm can indeed shatter the void and ascend to the Spirit Realm, but not everyone does."

“ nà shì wèi hé 。 jù tú ér suǒ zhī 。 jiè bù lùn shì líng qì nóng dù 。 hái shì gè zhǒng tiān cái de bǎo 。 dōu yuǎn fēi rén jiān jiè kě yǐ xiāng bǐ 。 lí hé qī xiū shì yě zhǐ yǒu zài nà yī jiè xiū liàn 。 cái néng zài jiē zài lì 。 xiàng gèng gāo de céng cì qǐ chōng jī 。 rú guǒ zhì liú rén jiān 。 xiū wèi zhǐ huì tíng zhì bù qián 。 jì rán néng gòu bù rù lí hé qī 。 rán shì yī xīn zhuī xiān dào zhī rén 。 yòu zěn huì bàn tú ér fèi 。” lín xuān bù yǐ wéi rán de shuō 。

“那是为何。据徒儿所知。界不论是灵气浓度。还是各种天材的宝。都远非人间界可以相比。离合期修士也只有在那一界修炼。才能再接再厉。像更高的层次起冲击。如果滞留人间。修为只会停滞不前。既然能够步入离合期。然是一心追仙道之人。又怎会半途而废。”林轩不以为然的说。

"Why is that? According to what I know, the Spirit Realm has far greater concentrations of spirit energy and various treasures than this world. Separation Realm cultivators can only advance by cultivating there. If they stay in this world, their cultivation will stagnate. Since they've reached the Separation Realm, shouldn't they be determined to pursue immortality?" Lin Xuan said with a disapproving look.

“ xuān ér nǐ zhè huà méi cuò 。 kě xī zhǐ zhī qí yī 。 zhī qí èr 。”

“轩儿你这话没错。可惜只知其一。知其二。”

"Xuan, your words are correct. But you know only one side of it," Tongyu Zhenren replied.

“ ó ？” lín xuān liǎn shàng de biǎo qíng yuè gǎn xìng qù 。

“哦？”林轩脸上的表情越感兴趣。

"Oh?"

“ líng jiè de xiū xiān zī yuán què shí yuǎn shèng jiān 。 rán ér lí hé qī qián bèi suī yǒu pò suì xū kōng de néng lì kě zhēn yào fēi shēng de huà 。 yǒu bù xiǎo de wēi xiǎn 。”

“灵界的修仙资源确实远胜间。然而离合期前辈虽有破碎虚空的能力可真要飞升的话。有不小的危险。”

"The resources for cultivation in the Spirit Realm are indeed far superior to this world. However, even though Separation Realm elders have the ability to shatter the void, the actual process of ascending is fraught with danger."

“ wēi xiǎn ？”

“危险？”

"Danger?" Lin Xuan asked curiously.

“ shì de 。 sān jiǔ tiān jié 。” tōng yǔ zhēn rén kǒu tàn qì ：“ xiū xiān běn shì nì tiān ér xíng 。 yí bù xiǎo xīn jiù huì yǐn huǒ shāo shǐ néng gòu jìn rù lí hé qī 。 kě dāng zhè xiē qián bèi fēi shēng zhī shí 。 què bì xū jīng lì tiān jié de xǐ lǐ 。”

“是的。三九天劫。”通羽真人口叹气：“修仙本是逆天而行。一不小心就会引火烧使能够进入离合期。可当这些前辈飞升之时。却必须经历天劫的洗礼。”

"Yes, the Three Nines Heavenly Tribulation," Tongyu Zhenren sighed. "Cultivation is inherently against nature. A small slip can lead to disaster. When these elders ascended, they had to undergo the tribulation洗礼."

“ ér tiān jié de wēi lì kě yǔ wǒ jié yīng nà rì bù kě tóng rì ér yǔ 。 dāng shí bù guò | xiǎo de líng lì zhī jié ér yǐ 。 wēi lì bù zhēn zhèng tiān jié de bǎi fēn zhī yī 。”

“而天劫的威力可与我结婴那日不可同日而语。当时不过|小的灵力之劫而已。威力不真正天劫的百分之一。”

"Compared to when I formed my essence, it's incomparable. Back then, it was just a minor spirit energy tribulation with negligible power compared to true heavenly tribulations," Lin Xuan said.

lín xuān yǔ liǎng wèi zhǎng lǎo de miàn miàn xiāng qù 。 nà rì de líng lì zhī jié 。 qīng líng yào shān jǔ pài zhī lì cái miǎn qiǎng yìng fù xià lái shī què shuō bù jí zhēn zhèng tiān jié de bǎi fēn zhī yī 。 shì bú shì tài guò kuā zhāng le yī xiē 。

林轩与两位长老的面面相觑。那日的灵力之劫。倾灵药山举派之力才勉强应付下来师却说不及真正天劫的百分之一。是不是太过夸张了一些。

Lin Xuan and the two elder masters exchanged glances. The spirit energy tribulation back then had required the entire Lingyun Sect’s efforts to barely fend off, yet Tongyu Zhenren claimed it was only one percent of a true heavenly tribulation. Was that an exaggeration?

“ hēng 。 kàn nǐ men de biǎo qíng 。 yí dìng yǐ wéi lǎo fū zài kuā dà qí cí 。 yào zhī dào 。 lí hé qī qián bèi de shén tōng shì hé děng guǎng dà 。 kě gǔ wǎng jīn lái pò suì xū kōng de lí hé qī xiū shì 。 què shí yǒu 。 sǐ zài le tiān jié zhī xià 。” tōng yǔ zhēn rén de liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī kǒng nán nán zì yǔ 。

“哼。看你们的表情。一定以为老夫在夸大其词。要知道。离合期前辈的神通是何等广大。可古往今来破碎虚空的离合期修士。却十有。死在了天劫之下。”通羽真人的脸上露出一丝恐喃喃自语。

"Hmph. Judging by your expressions, you must think I'm overstating the case. Remember, the powers of Separation Realm elders are vast. Throughout history, out of every ten who tried to ascend, nine died in the tribulations," Tongyu Zhenren said with a look of fear.

“ suǒ yǐ tā men xuǎn zé liú rén jiān ？”

“所以他们选择留人间？”

"So they choose to stay in this world?"

“ bù cuò 。 xiū xiān běn wèi zhuī qiú cháng shēng 。 dàn rú guǒ wēi xiǎn tài dà zì rèn méi yǒu shén me bǎ wò dǐ dǎng tiān jié 。 zhè xiē qián bèi yě jiù huì zàn shí liú zài rén jiè 。 jì xù kǔ xiū 。 xiǎng děng xiū wèi gèng jìn yí bù 。 huò shì zhǎo dào le shén me qiáng hèng de fáng yù bǎo wù 。 zài qù pò suì xū kōng 。” tōng yǔ zhēn rén tàn xī de shuō dào 。

“不错。修仙本为追求长生。但如果危险太大自认没有什么把握抵挡天劫。这些前辈也就会暂时留在人界。继续苦修。想等修为更进一步。或是找到了什么强横的防御宝物。再去破碎虚空。”通羽真人叹息的说道。

"Exactly. Cultivation is about seeking longevity. If the dangers are too great and one isn't confident in their ability to withstand the tribulation, these elders will temporarily remain in this world to continue their cultivation, waiting for further advancement or finding powerful defensive treasures before attempting to ascend," Tongyu Zhenren said with a sigh.

“ gǒng gù xiū wèi 。 děng dài shí jī zhè dǎo shì yí gè hǎo zhǔ yì 。” xuān yǎn zhōng lù chū yī sī zàn xǔ 。

“巩固修为。等待时机这倒是一个好主意。”轩眼中露出一丝赞许。

"Waiting to strengthen oneself and seize an opportunity—this is indeed a good idea." Lin Xuan's eyes showed approval.

“ hǎo zhǔ yì hēng 。 nǐ yòu nǎ lǐ zhī dào zhè qí zhōng de wú nài xiū xiān shì yuè dào hòu miàn nán 。 biàn shì nǐ men níng dān qī xiū shì měi xiǎng yào gèng jìn yī 。 yě bù zhī dào fù chū duō shǎo xīn xuè 。 gèng hé kuàng shì zhěng zhěng gāo le liǎng gè céng cì de lí hé qī 。”

“好主意哼。你又哪里知道这其中的无奈修仙是越到后面难。便是你们凝丹期修士每想要更进一。也不知道付出多少心血。更何况是整整高了两个层次的离合期。”

"Hmph. You don't know the hardships of it. Cultivation becomes harder as one progresses. Even for condensation core cultivators, every step forward requires immense effort. For Separation Realm cultivators, who are two steps higher, the challenges are even greater."

“ dào le tā men nà zhǒng xiū wèi 。 biàn shì zhè yī jiè zuì hǎo de líng mài 。 nán yǐ mǎn zú xiū liàn de xū qiú 。 ér xū yào de gāo jiē jīng shí 。 yǐ jí gè zhǒng tiān cái de bǎo 。 zhè yī jiè jī hū shì jué jì 。 gè zhǒng xiū liàn de tiáo jiàn dōu bù fú hé 。 xiǎng yào zài cì jìn jiē jī hū shì chī rén shuō mèng 。”

“到了他们那种修为。便是这一界最好的灵脉。难以满足修炼的需求。而需要的高阶晶石。以及各种天材的宝。这一界几乎是绝迹。各种修炼的条件都不符合。想要再次进阶几乎是痴人说梦。”

"At their level, even the best spirit veins in this world can barely meet their needs. The high-grade crystal stones and various treasures they require are almost extinct here. All conditions for cultivation don't match up. Advancing further is a dream," Tongyu Zhenren said with a somber expression.

“ suǒ yǐ jí biàn lí hé qī xiū shì bǐ yuán yīng qī de shòu mìng hái yào gāo shàng qiān nián 。 kě zhè me zhǎng de shí jiān 。 xiū wèi yě nán yǒu cùn jìn 。 zuì hòu mào xiǎn dù jié 。 yě duō bàn hún fēi pò sàn 。” tōng yǔ zhēn rén shuō dào zhè lǐ 。 yǐ shì mǎn liǎn de àn rán 。

“所以即便离合期修士比元婴期的寿命还要高上千年。可这么长的时间。修为也难有寸进。最后冒险渡劫。也多半魂飞魄散。”通羽真人说到这里。已是满脸的黯然。

Lin Xuan and Shen Lingtian felt a sense of shared grief, but Lin Xuan quickly recovered. He was still far from a hundred years old and had yet to even reach the condensation core stage. Why worry about difficulties in the Separation Realm?

lín xuān 。 shěn ào tiān 。 fù quán yě yǒu tù sǐ hú bēi wù zhī gǎn 。 bù guò hěn kuài lín xuān jiù shuài xiān huī fù guò lái 。 zì jǐ rú jīn hái bú dào bǎi suì nián jì 。 jù lí níng yīng dōu yáo yáo wú qī 。 yòu hé bì qǐ rén yōu tiān de qù dān xīn lí hé qī kùn nán 。

林轩。沈傲天。付泉也有兔死狐悲物之感。不过很快林轩就率先恢复过来。自己如今还不到百岁年纪。距离凝婴都遥遥无期。又何必杞人忧天的去担心离合期困难。

Still, today wasn't entirely fruitless. These secrets weren't easily found in ordinary ancient texts.

nà qǐ bù shì zì xún fán nǎo

那岂不是自寻烦恼

"Thank you for your explanation, but I still don't know the origins of the Nine Dragon Sect," Lin Xuan said with a smile.

bù guò jīn tiān yě bìng fēi méi yǒu shōu huò 。 bì jìng zhè xiē yǐn mì kě bú shì yì bān de shàng gǔ diǎn jí kě yǐ suí yì chá yuè dào de 。

不过今天也并非没有收获。毕竟这些隐秘可不是一般的上古典籍可以随意查阅到的。

"Although Heavenly Sovereign Nine Dragons is immensely wise, he didn't have full confidence in passing his tribulation. He chose to remain in this world and establish a sect to ensure the传承of his cultivation methods. Thus, the Nine Dragon Sect was born."

“ duō xiè shī zūn jiě shuō 。 bù guò tú ér hái bù zhī dào jiǔ lóng pài de lái lì jiū jìng rú hé 。” lín xuān wēi xiào zhe kāi kǒu le 。

“多谢师尊解说。不过徒儿还不知道九龙派的来历究竟如何。”林轩微笑着开口了。

"So that's how it is. But why does the sect hold such an exalted position? Despite the passage of time, no matter how much the cultivation world changes, other sects never interfere with them, making the area around Mount Nine Dragons a paradise," Lin Xuan remained puzzled. Even though there was now one Separation Realm ancestor in the sect, it didn't explain why they still held such an exalted position after so many years.

“ jiǔ lóng tiān zūn gù rán cái zhì tōng tiān 。 kě jìn rù lí hé qī hòu yě sī méi yǒu ān rán dù jié de bǎ wò 。 jiù jì xù zài zhè yī jiè zhì liú 。 wǔ bǎi nián hòu 。 tā xiū wèi yī rán méi yǒu sī háo jìn zhǎn 。 bù guò què dà chè dà wù 。”

“九龙天尊固然才智通天。可进入离合期后也丝没有安然渡劫的把握。就继续在这一界滞留。五百年后。他修为依然没有丝毫进展。不过却大彻大悟。”

"This needs to be traced back to the great war between humans and demons during the Primordial Era," Tongyu Zhenren closed his eyes with a look of melancholy.

“ dà chè dà wù ？” lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī gǔ guài zhī sè 。 zhè wèi qián bèi gāi bú huì shì chū jiā dāng hé shàng le 。

“大彻大悟？”林轩脸上露出一丝古怪之色。这位前辈该不会是出家当和尚了。

"Human-Demon War?"

tōng yǔ zhēn rén zì rán bù zhī dào lín xuān xīn zhōng de huāng miù xiǎng fǎ 。 jì xù wǎng xià shuō ：

通羽真人自然不知道林轩心中的荒谬想法。继续往下说：

This event occurred in the Primordial Era, and few knew about it. But everyone present had heard of it. Lin Xuan, especially, remembered it vividly as he had witnessed demons firsthand when he was framed by Elder Li Yaotian from Fire Spirit Sect in Ghostnet City.

“ jiǔ lóng tiān zūn shēn zhī zì jǐ dù wàng 。 méi yǒu zì bào zì qì 。 zài jiè héng xíng 。 huò mào xiǎn yī bó 。 ér shì xuǎn zé kāi zōng chuàng pài 。 ràng zì jǐ de gōng fǎ chuán chéng xià lái 。 yú shì biàn yǒu le jiǔ lóng pài 。”

“九龙天尊深知自己渡望。没有自暴自弃。在界横行。或冒险一搏。而是选择开宗创派。让自己的功法传承下来。于是便有了九龙派。”

"During that war, our ancient predecessors reached an agreement with the demon beasts to fight together," Tongyu Zhenren continued. "The battle went smoothly, but the demons were unwilling to accept defeat and used mysterious methods to summon upper realm demons."

“ yuán lái rú cǐ 。 kě jiǔ pài yòu wèi hé de wèi chāo rán 。 suì yuè yōu yōu 。 bù lùn xiū xiān jiè jīng lì duō dà de biàn qiān 。 gè mén gè pài dōu duì tā men qiū háo wú fàn 。 ràng jiǔ lóng shān fāng yuán wàn lǐ yǐ nèi 。 chéng wéi le shì wài táo yuán ？” lín xuān yī jiù bù jiě 。 jiǔ lóng tiān zūn zài shì 。 gāi pài yǒu yī wèi lí hé qī de zǔ shī 。 zì rán shì qí niú wú 。 kě rú jīn cāng hǎi sāng tián 。 shì shì biàn qiān 。 jiǔ lóng tiān zūn zǎo yǐ chéng wéi le guò yǎn yún yān 。 dà jiā yǒu lǐ yóu huán gěi tā men miàn zi a 。

“原来如此。可九派又为何的位超然。岁月悠悠。不论修仙界经历多大的变迁。各门各派都对他们秋毫无犯。让九龙山方圆万里以内。成为了世外桃源？”林轩依旧不解。九龙天尊再世。该派有一位离合期的祖师。自然是奇牛无。可如今沧海桑田。世事变迁。九龙天尊早已成为了过眼云烟。大家有理由还给他们面子啊。

"Upper Realm Demons?"

“ zhè jiàn shì qíng hái yào cóng hóng huāng shí qī de xiū shì yǔ yāo mó dà zhàn shuō qǐ 。” tōng yǔ zhēn rén bì shàng yǎn jīng 。 liǎn shàng mǎn shì chàng rán biǎo qíng 。

“这件事情还要从洪荒时期的修士与妖魔大战说起。”通羽真人闭上眼睛。脸上满是怅然表情。

"Yes. Above this world lies another realm at the same level as ours," Tongyu Zhenren said slowly.

“ rén mó zhī zhàn ？”

“人魔之战？”

Lin Xuan was taken aback. He had never heard of this before. This journey had indeed been enlightening.
