“ chú fēi děng qiè shēn néng gòu dà dào yǒu chéng ， zhēn zhèng huà jiě diào tǐ nèi de hùn dùn yāo qì 。” kǒng què xiān zi tàn le kǒu qì 。
“除非等妾身能够大道有成，真正化解掉体内的混沌妖气。”孔雀仙子叹了口气。
"Unless I can achieve enlightenment and truly dispel the chaotic demon energy within my body," sighed Fairy Peacock.
“ nà shì zhǐ ……” lín xuān méi tóu yī tiāo ， xīn zhōng yǐn yǐn jué de yǒu xiē bù miào 。
“那是指……”林轩眉头一挑，心中隐隐觉得有些不妙。
"That refers to..." Lin Xuan's brows furrowed, feeling a faint sense of unease in his heart.
“ dòng xuán qī ， zhǐ yào nǐ wǒ fū fù èr rén ， rèn hé yí gè tū pò lí hé zhī jìng ， dá dào dòng xuán qī jiù méi yǒu dà ài le ， kě yǐ yǒng yuǎn zài yì qǐ 。”
“洞玄期，只要你我夫妇二人，任何一个突破离合之境，达到洞玄期就没有大碍了，可以永远在一起。”
"Demon Profound Stage. As long as either you or I break through the Separation Realm and reach Demon Profound Stage, there will be no problem; we can stay together forever."
“ shén me ， dòng xuán ？” jí biàn yǐ lín xuān de chéng fǔ ， yě bù yóu dà jīng shī sè ， zì jǐ xiàn zài ， yě bù guò yuán yīng zhōng qī de xiū xiān zhě ， jù lí dòng xuán ， hái zhěng zhěng xiāng chà liǎng gè céng cì ， nà qǐ bù shì yào fēi shēng líng jiè yǐ hòu de shì ？
“什么，洞玄？”即便以林轩的城府，也不由大惊失色，自己现在，也不过元婴中期的修仙者，距离洞玄，还整整相差两个层次，那岂不是要飞升灵界以后的事？
"What? Demon Profound?" Even with Lin Xuan's composure, he was still taken aback. He was only an intermediate-stage Immortal Nurturing Soul cultivator now, two stages away from the Demon Profound realm. Wasn't that something for after ascending to the Spirit Realm?
“ ń 。” kǒng què xiān zi lǐ le lǐ sī ， liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī bù shě de biǎo qíng ， huǎn huǎn jiě shì ：“ qiè shēn yě bù xiǎng lí kāi fū jūn ， rán ér jù gǔ jí jì zǎi ， zhè hùn dùn yāo qì ， sì hū hái yǔ tiān dì fǎ zé yǒu yī xiē guān xì ， lí hé zhī jìng ， yě zhǐ shì chū kuī dà dào ér yǐ ， zhēn zhèng xiǎng yào huà jiě ， zhǐ yǒu děng dào dòng xuán qī 。”
“嗯。”孔雀仙子理了理丝，脸上露出一丝不舍的表情，缓缓解释：“妾身也不想离开夫君，然而据古籍记载，这混沌妖气，似乎还与天地法则有一些关系，离合之境，也只是初窥大道而已，真正想要化解，只有等到洞玄期。”
"Mm." Fairy Peacock smoothed her hair, revealing a look of reluctance on her face as she slowly explained, "I don’t want to leave you either, but according to ancient texts, this chaotic demon energy seems to be related to the laws of heaven and earth. The Separation Realm is just the initial glimpse of the Dao; true dispelling can only happen at Demon Profound Stage."
lín xuān mò mò bù yǔ ， guò le bàn zhǎn chá de gōng fu ， cái huǎn huǎn de kāi kǒu le ：“ nán dào zhēn de jiù méi yǒu bié de bàn fǎ ， nǐ zhī dào ， wǒ shén tōng pǒ duō ， hái xiū liàn yǒu fèng wǔ jiǔ tiān jué ， zhuǎn huà wèi yāo líng lì nán dào yě bù kě yǐ ？”
林轩默默不语，过了半盏茶的功夫，才缓缓的开口了：“难道真的就没有别的办法，你知道，我神通颇多，还修炼有凤舞九天诀，转化为妖灵力难道也不可以？”
Lin Xuan remained silent for a while before slowly speaking up, "Is there no other way? You know, I have many abilities, and I practice the Nine Heavens Dance Technique. Can't it be transformed into demon spirit energy?"
“ bù xíng 。” kǒng què de dài méi qīng qīng zhòu qǐ ,“ xiū yāo zhě yě zhǐ bù guò shì mó fǎng yāo zú de shén tōng ér yǐ ， běn zhì shàng yī jiù shì rén lèi ， ér zhè hùn dùn yāo qì ， shè jí tiān dì fǎ zé ， kě bú shì nà me róng yì méng hùn guò guān de 。”
“不行。”孔雀的黛眉轻轻皱起,“修妖者也只不过是模仿妖族的神通而已，本质上依旧是人类，而这混沌妖气，涉及天地法则，可不是那么容易蒙混过关的。”
"That won’t work," Fairy Peacock’s delicate brows knitted together. "Demon cultivators only mimic the powers of demons; fundamentally, they are still humans. This chaotic demon energy involves the laws of heaven and earth, which can’t be easily overlooked."
“ nà nǐ yòu hé bì lí kāi wǒ ， zài yì qǐ zhǐ yào bù zuò nà guī fáng zhī shì bù jiù kě yǐ le ？”
“那你又何必离开我，在一起只要不做那闺房之事不就可以了？”
"So why must you leave me? As long as we don’t engage in intimate activities, shouldn’t it be fine?"
lín xuān yǒu xiē zháo jí de shuō 。
林轩有些着急的说。
Lin Xuan said anxiously.
“ fū jūn hé chū cǐ yán ， jiù suàn nǐ wǒ néng gòu rěn zhù bù zài pǐn cháng jìn guǒ ， kě zhāo xī xiāng chǔ ， qiáng xíng yā zhì ** míng xiǎn bú shì zhèng tú ， yí bù xiǎo xīn jiù kuài jì xià xīn mó ， duì yú xiū liàn yǒu hài wú yì ， jìn jí qǐ bù shì gèng jiā yáo yáo wú qī ？”
“夫君何出此言，就算你我能够忍住不再品尝禁果，可朝夕相处，强行压制**明显不是正途，一不小心就会计下心魔，对于修炼有害无益，晋级岂不是更加遥遥无期？”
"Why would I say such a thing? Even if we manage to resist tasting the forbidden fruit, constant companionship will inevitably lead to suppressing our desires. This is not the right path; an accidental fall into demonic thoughts could harm your cultivation and delay your advancement."
lín xuān de liǎn sè yīn mái le xià qù ， zhè huà què shí yǒu lǐ ， zhǐ shì dòng xuán qī ……
林轩的脸色阴霾了下去，这话确实有理，只是洞玄期……
Lin Xuan’s face darkened. She was indeed correct, but what about reaching Demon Profound Stage?
dàn tā bì jìng bú shì pó pó mā mā de rén wù ， kǒng què yǒu yī jù huà shuō dé hěn shì qīng chǔ ， zàn shí fēn lí ， shì wèi le rì hòu yǒng jiǔ de tuán jù 。
但他毕竟不是婆婆妈妈的人物，孔雀有一句话说得很是清楚，暂时分离，是为了日后永久的团聚。
He wasn’t a person who dwelled on such matters. Fairy Peacock had clearly stated that temporary separation would lead to permanent reunion.
“ shì fǒu nǐ wǒ rèn yī rén jìn jí dòng xuán dōu kě yǐ ？” lín xuān huī fù le cóng róng zhī sè ， yī zì yī dùn de kāi kǒu le 。
“是否你我任一人晋级洞玄都可以？”林轩恢复了从容之色，一字一顿的开口了。
"Can either of us reach Demon Profound Stage?" Lin Xuan regained his composure and spoke slowly, "Yes, if I can achieve the sixth level, I will completely shed my demon form and dispel the chaotic demon energy within me. If you advance first, with your Demon Profound realm cultivation, this chaotic demon energy won’t affect you."
“ bù cuò ， qiè shēn ruò néng dá dào liù jí ， jiù néng wán quán tùn qù yāo shēn ， huà jiě tǐ nèi de hùn dùn yāo qì ， rú guǒ fū jūn xiān jìn jí ， yǐ nǐ dòng xuán qī de xiū wèi ， hùn dùn yāo qì yě jiù zài yǐng xiǎng bù liǎo nǐ 。”
“不错，妾身若能达到六级，就能完全褪去妖身，化解体内的混沌妖气，如果夫君先晋级，以你洞玄期的修为，混沌妖气也就再影响不了你。”
After saying this, Fairy Peacock leaned down and kissed Lin Xuan’s face: "My lord, I have explained the reason clearly. As long as you remember me in your heart, we will reunite someday."
shuō wán yǐ hòu ， kǒng què xiān zi fǔ xià zhēn ， zài lín xuān liǎn shàng wěn le yī jì ：“ fū jūn ， yuán yóu qiè shēn yǐ shuō qīng chǔ ， zhǐ yào nǐ xīn zhōng yǒu wǒ ， yǒu zhāo yī rì ， nǐ wǒ fū fù zì rán hái huì chóng xīn xiāng jù de 。”
说完以后，孔雀仙子俯下臻，在林轩脸上吻了一记：“夫君，缘由妾身已说清楚，只要你心中有我，有朝一日，你我夫妇自然还会重新相聚的。”
With a look of reluctance on her face, she quickly replaced it with resolve. She turned and transformed into a streak of five-colored light, circling briefly before flying out of the dwelling.
shuō wán ， cǐ nǚ liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī bù shě ， dàn hěn kuài jiù bèi jué jué suǒ dài tì le ， shēn xíng yī zhuǎn ， huà wèi yī dào wǔ cǎi xiá guāng ， lüè yī pán xuán zhī hòu ， jiù fēi chū le dòng fǔ ……
说完，此女脸上露出一丝不舍，但很快就被决绝所代替了，身形一转，化为一道五彩霞光，略一盘旋之后，就飞出了洞府……
Lin Xuan watched helplessly. Although he was reluctant, he couldn’t move due to the restrictions placed within him. Fairy Peacock’s words were reasonable; even if he could, there seemed no reason for him to stop her.
lín xuān yǎn zhēng zhēng kàn zhe ， suī rán xīn zhōng bù shě ， dàn yī lái tā tǐ nèi bèi zhòng xià le jìn zhì ， èr lái ， kǒng què yán zhī yǒu lǐ ， jiù suàn néng dòng ， zì jǐ sì hū yě méi yǒu lǐ yóu zǔ zhǐ 。
林轩眼睁睁看着，虽然心中不舍，但一来他体内被种下了禁制，二来，孔雀言之有理，就算能动，自己似乎也没有理由阻止。
After two hours, Lin Xuan’s body shimmered with green light and he sat up with a bitter smile. The restrictions imposed by Yuanyuan were indeed difficult to remove. With her intermediate-stage transformation abilities, she must be several miles away now.
zú zú liǎng gè shí chén yǐ hòu ， lín xuān hún shēn qīng máng shǎn shuò ， pā de yī xià zuò qǐ lái le 。
足足两个时辰以后，林轩浑身青芒闪烁，啪的一下坐起来了。
Lin Xuan felt depressed. He had just experienced the joy of male and female love, only to have to separate again. A sense of emptiness filled his heart; he needed to hone his mind further...
zuǐ jiǎo biān lù chū yī sī kǔ xiào zhī sè ， yuàn yuàn xià de jìn zhì hái zhēn gòu nán yǐ jiě chú ， guò qù le zhè me jiǔ ， yǐ tā huà xíng zhōng qī de shén tōng ， kǒng pà zài shù wàn lǐ zhī yáo le 。
嘴角边露出一丝苦笑之色，媛媛下的禁制还真够难以解除，过去了这么久，以她化形中期的神通，恐怕在数万里之遥了。
But he wasn’t an ordinary person. His confusion gradually faded. What did Demon Profound Stage matter? Without a spirit root, he was still at this stage. The path to immortality was arduous, but someday he would succeed.
lín xuān yě yǒu xiē yù mèn ， cái gāng gāng pǐn cháng le nán huān nǚ ài de měi miào ， zhuǎn yǎn què yòu bù dé bù fēn jū ， yī gǔ kōng luò de gǎn jué ， mí màn zài xiōng yì ， kàn lái zì jǐ de xīn jìng ， hái xū yào hǎo hǎo mó lì ……
林轩也有些郁闷，才刚刚品尝了男欢女爱的美妙，转眼却又不得不分居，一股空落的感觉，弥漫在胸臆，看来自己的心境，还需要好好磨砺……
Green light surged around Lin Xuan’s body as he transformed into a streak of startling brilliance and broke through the sky.
dàn tā dào dǐ bú shì cháng rén ， yǎn zhōng de mí máng màn màn xiāo shī le ， dòng xuán qī yòu rú hé ， zì jǐ méi yǒu líng gēn bù yě shì dào le zhè yī bù ， xiān lù kǎn kě ， dàn yǒu zhāo yī rì ， zì jǐ zǒng huì chéng gōng de 。
但他到底不是常人，眼中的迷茫慢慢消失了，洞玄期又如何，自己没有灵根不也是到了这一步，仙路坎坷，但有朝一日，自己总会成功的。
Soon, the outline of Quanyue City appeared before his eyes.
lín xuān hún yǔ qīng máng dà qǐ ， huà wèi yī dào jīng hóng pò kōng ér qù 。
林轩浑与青芒大起，化为一道惊虹破空而去。
This was the largest city of the Moon Ink Clan. After being defeated by the Qin sect cultivators, although the Moon Ink Clan had suffered heavy losses in population, they still divided into dozens of small tribes within the Quinyan Mountains. The most populous tribe was naturally the Quanyue Tribe.
bù jiǔ ， kuí yuè chéng de lún kuò yòu chū xiàn zài le yǎn lián lǐ 。
不久，奎月城的轮廓又出现在了眼帘里。
Both the Profound Origin Ancestor and the Hundred Poison Divine Sage originated from this tribe. They controlled vast resources for cultivation and fertile lands, unmatched by other small tribes.
zhè lǐ shì mò yuè zú zuì dà de chéng shì 。
这里是墨月族最大的城市。
Survival of the fittest; those with strength could seize better things. This jungle law applied to both secular society and the world of cultivators.
xī rì bèi qín zú xiū shì dǎ bài yǐ hòu ， mò yuè zú de rén kǒu suī rán sǔn shī jí duō ， dàn tuì rù kuí yīn shān mài zhī zhōng de ， yī jiù fēn wéi le shù shí gè xiǎo bù luò 。
昔日被秦族修士打败以后，墨月族的人口虽然损失极多，但退入奎阴山脉之中的，依旧分为了数十个小部落。
The Profound Origin Ancestor was already dead, and Miao You became the only intermediate-stage witch. She had been the Silver Phoenix Tribe’s Elder before, so Quanyue City naturally belonged to her and her tribe together.
qí zhōng rén kǒu zuì wàng de zì rán shì kuí yuè bù le 。
其中人口最旺的自然是奎月部了。
In just a few months, this mighty city changed hands.
bù guǎn hùn yuán lǎo zǔ hái shì bǎi dú shén jūn ， dōu chū shēn yú gāi bù ， tā men zhàn jù de dì fāng ， xiū liàn zī yuán yǔ tǔ dì de féi wò chéng dù ， tóng yàng shì qí tā xiǎo bù luò méi yǒu bàn fǎ xiàng bǐ 。
不管混元老祖还是百毒神君，都出身于该部，他们占据的地方，修炼资源与土地的肥沃程度，同样是其他小部落没有办法相比。
Lin Xuan felt some regret. The decline of the Quanyue Tribe was partly due to him. However, Lin Xuan didn’t feel guilty; he used concealment techniques to sneak in quietly.
ruò ròu qiáng shí ， yǒu lì liàng zhě cái néng zhàn jù gèng hǎo de dōng xī ， zhè cóng lín fǎ zé ， bù guǎn shì sú ， hái shì xiū xiān jiè ， dōu shì yī yàng shì yòng 。
弱肉强食，有力量者才能占据更好的东西，这丛林法则，不管世俗，还是修仙界，都是一样适用。
Of course, his intention wasn’t to do anything bad but to meet Miao You Fairy.
hùn yuán lǎo zǔ yǐ rán shēn sǐ ， miào yōu chéng wéi le wéi yī de yuán yīng qī wū shī ， tā běn shì yín fèng bù dà zhǎng lǎo ， rú jīn de kuí yuè chéng ， zì rán shì yóu tā yǔ zì jǐ de bù luò ， yì qǐ rù zhǔ 。
混元老祖已然身死，妙幽成为了唯一的元婴期巫师，她本是银凤部大长老，如今的奎月城，自然是由她与自己的部落，一起入主。
After all, his appearance as a cultivator was too conspicuous, so he had to enter the city secretly.
duǎn duǎn de shù yuè jiān ， zhè zuò xióng chéng ， jiù yǐ huàn le zhǔ rén 。
短短的数月间，这座雄城，就已换了主人。
The Starry Sky Palace came into view. Lin Xuan suppressed his spells and transformed into a streak of green light landing in front.
lín xuān yě yǒu xiē gǎn kǎi ， shuō qǐ lái ， kuí yuè bù de shuāi luò ， yǔ zì jǐ kě shì yǒu mò dà guān xì de ， bù guò lín xuān zì rán bú huì nèi jiù shén me ， shī zhǎn yǐn nì zhī shù ， qiāo qiāo de qián jìn qù le 。
林轩也有些感慨，说起来，奎月部的衰落，与自己可是有莫大关系的，不过林轩自然不会内疚什么，施展隐匿之术，悄悄的潜进去了。
Su Luo was an intermediate-stage witch from the Silver Phoenix Tribe, having practiced for over 150 years. Although his talent was good, his current cultivation level was only mid-stage with less than fifty years left before his life ended without hope of condensing a golden core.
dāng rán ， tā bú shì xiǎng zuò shén me huài shì ， ér shì xiǎng bài huì yī xià miào yōu xiān zi 。
当然，他不是想做什么坏事，而是想拜会一下妙幽仙子。
However, he was still happy recently. With the Profound Origin Ancestor’s demise, Silver Phoenix had become the largest tribe in the Moon Ink Clan. The city’s spiritual energy here was much better than their former Silver Phoenix Mountain, and they received double the crystal stone offerings every month.
bì jìng zì jǐ zhè shēn xiū shì de dǎ bàn tài guò zhā yǎn ， suǒ yǐ lín xuān cái bù dé bù qiāo qiāo de jìn rù chéng lǐ miàn 。
毕竟自己这身修士的打扮太过扎眼，所以林轩才不得不悄悄的进入城里面。
Thinking of this, Su Luo sighed. If he had such conditions back then, he might have a chance to condense his golden core. It was too late now, but the tribe would surely thrive; his son was preparing for base formation. With the saved medicinal pills and crystal stones, he should have no problem.
tiān xīng gōng yìng rù yǎn lián ， lín xuān jiāng fǎ shù shōu liǎn ， huà wèi yī dào qīng hóng luò zài qián miàn 。
天星宫映入眼帘，林轩将法术收敛，化为一道青虹落在前面。
He couldn’t condense his golden core, but his son’s hope was enough to soothe his old heart. All of this was thanks to Miao You Fairy.
sū luó shì yín fèng bù de yī míng zhù jī qī wū shī ， xiū dào yǐ yǒu yì bǎi wǔ shí yú nián ， zī zhì suī rán bù cuò ， dàn rú jīn yě bù guò shì zhōng qī de xiū wèi bà le 。
苏罗是银凤部的一名筑基期巫师，修道已有一百五十余年，资质虽然不错，但如今也不过是中期的修为罢了。
Without the Elder’s protection, where would they have such good cultivation conditions?
shòu yuán zhǐ shèng xià bú dào wǔ shí nián ， jīn shēng yǐ méi yǒu xī wàng níng jié jīn dān 。
寿元只剩下不到五十年，今生已没有希望凝结金丹。
So being chosen as a guard for Starry Sky Palace, although it delayed his cultivation, he felt honored and didn’t harbor any resentment. He even looked forward to possibly hearing lectures from the Fairy herself...
rán ér zuì jìn ， tā yī jiù hěn kāi xīn ， hùn yuán lǎo zǔ yǔn luò ， yín fèng yǐ chéng wéi le mò yuè zú de dì yī dà bù luò ， zhè kuí yuè chéng de líng mài ， kě shì bǐ tā men xī rì de yín fèng shān hǎo shàng le xǔ duō ， měi gè yuè néng gòu lǐng qǔ de jīng shí gòng fèng yě bǐ yǐ qián duō le yí bèi hái duō 。
然而最近，他依旧很开心，混元老祖陨落，银凤已成为了墨月族的第一大部落，这奎月城的灵脉，可是比他们昔日的银凤山好上了许多，每个月能够领取的晶石供奉也比以前多了一倍还多。
Just as Su Luo was thinking this, a streak of light descended about ten feet away.
niàn jí zhì cǐ ， sū luó bù yóu de tàn le kǒu qì ， ruò shì xī rì yǒu zhè yàng de bèi jiàn ， zì jǐ wèi bì méi yǒu jī huì níng jié jīn dān ， rú jīn wéi shí yǐ wǎn ， kě bù luò bì jiāng xīng shèng xià qù ， zì jǐ ér zi yǐ zài zhǔn bèi zhù jī ， yǒu le zì jǐ jié yuē xià lái de dān yào jīng shí ， tā yīng gāi méi yǒu shén me wèn tí 。
念及至此，苏罗不由得叹了口气，若是昔日有这样的备件，自己未必没有机会凝结金丹，如今为时已晚，可部落必将兴盛下去，自己儿子已在准备筑基，有了自己节约下来的丹药晶石，他应该没有什么问题。
The light faded, revealing a young man in green robes.
zì jǐ méi yǒu jī huì jié dān ， dàn ér zi yǒu xī wàng yě zú yǐ ràng tā lǎo huái wèi jiè ， ér zhè yī qiè ， quán dōu yào gǎn xiè miào yōu xiān zi 。
自己没有机会结丹，但儿子有希望也足以让他老怀慰藉，而这一切，全都要感谢妙幽仙子。
"This attire... not a witch, could it be a cultivator from the Qin sect?" Su Luo’s gaze swept over him and his heart skipped a beat.
rú guǒ méi yǒu dà zhǎng lǎo bì hù ， zì jǐ zhè xiē rén nǎ lái zhè me hǎo de xiū liàn tiáo jiàn ne ？
如果没有大长老庇护，自己这些人哪来这么好的修炼条件呢？
He quickly extended his hand, palm holding a bell-shaped talisman used for alarms. But before he could use it, an overwhelming and terrifying spiritual pressure spread out around them...
"Unless I can achieve enlightenment and truly dispel the chaotic demon energy within my body," sighed Fairy Peacock.
"That refers to..." Lin Xuan's brows furrowed, feeling a faint sense of unease in his heart.
"Demon Profound Stage. As long as either you or I break through the Separation Realm and reach Demon Profound Stage, there will be no problem; we can stay together forever."
"What? Demon Profound?" Even with Lin Xuan's composure, he was still taken aback. He was only an intermediate-stage Immortal Nurturing Soul cultivator now, two stages away from the Demon Profound realm. Wasn't that something for after ascending to the Spirit Realm?
"Mm." Fairy Peacock smoothed her hair, revealing a look of reluctance on her face as she slowly explained, "I don’t want to leave you either, but according to ancient texts, this chaotic demon energy seems to be related to the laws of heaven and earth.

"So why must you leave me? As long as we don’t engage in intimate activities, shouldn’t it be fine?"
