第二日。
The second day.
聂东海拿到蕴灵丹以后，就开始心无旁骛地炼化那一枚丹药，试图重聚灵海。
After Nie Donghai obtained the Spirit Acc.u.mulating Pill, he started rapidly refining the pill, attempting to recondense his spirit sea.
聂家大大小小的所有事情，他都不理不问，连凌云宗被狱府强者困住，也暂时抛之脑后。
He ignored the small and big issues within the Nie Family, and he even temporarily put the issue of the Lingyun Sect being surrounded by the experts of the Prison Department in the back of his mind.
安家的老爷子安荣，从安诗怡口中，得知灵宝阁遭遇大变，意识到离天域都将因此而动荡不休时，他和安诗怡姐妹商谈了一晚。
The master of the An Family, An Rong, found out about the great changes that had occurred to the Ling Bao Court from An Shiyi. He was aware of the unrest that the Heaven Leaving Domain was undergoing because of them. Due to the unrest, he discussed with the An Sisters for the whole night.
聂天早上见到他的时候，看到他愁眉不展，似突然苍老了许多。
When Nie Tian saw him in the morning, he saw his worried frown, as if he had suddenly aged.
潘涛赶到黑云城，本欲要借助于凌云宗的力量，去援助宗门，知道凌云宗被狱府锁住以后，也面沉如水，再没有往昔的笑容。
The reason why Pan Tao rushed to Black Cloud City was to originally borrow the power of the Lingyun Sect to help his sect. After he learned that the Lingyun Sect was trapped by the Prison Department, his expression also sank, and he stopped having the smiling expression that he used to have in the past.
姜灵珠和叶孤末，同样心事重重，为近在迟尺的凌云宗担忧。
Jiang Lingzhu and Ye Gumo also had heavy worries in their hearts. They were worried for the Lingyun Sect.
在他们所有人的脸上，聂天都看到了愁云密布，知道他们因何而烦愁不安。
Nie Tian could see the dark cloud of worry on everyone’s expression, and understood why they were troubled.
“你们……可曾听说过天门？”他询问道。
“You guys... have you ever heard of the Heavenly Gate?” He asked.
“天门？”
“The Heavenly Gate?”
众人相继摇头，都表示一无所知。
Everyone shook their heads and expressed that they knew nothing of it.
“怪了……”聂天心中讶然，向他们解释道：“就是一扇门，只有后天境、中天境和先天境的炼气士，才可以踏入其中。每隔一些年，在陨星之地的九域，都会出现三扇天门，传言乃是专门容纳三天境的历练之地，你们怎会不知？”
“That’s odd…” Nie Tian was astounded and explained to them, “It’s a gate that only Lianqi Warriors of the Houtian, Zhongtian, and Xiantian Realms can enter. Every few years, three Heavenly Gates will appear within the nine domains of the Meteorite Land. Rumour says that it’s a land that contains things for people of the Three Heavens Realm to experience. How do you guys not know about it?”
众人还是摇头，告诉他从未听闻过此事。
Everyone still shook their head and told him that they had never heard of such a thing.
“小天，你为什么会突然说起这个？”聂茜一脸莫名其妙。
“Little Tian, why would you suddenly talk about this?” Nie Qian had a confused look.
“那个……”聂天斟酌着说辞，道：“我得到消息，其中一扇天门，这趟会出现在我们离天域的狱府附近。”
“That…” Nie Tian deliberated for a while before speaking, “I’ve obtained information that a Heavenly Gate will appear near the Prison Department in our Heaven Leaving Domain soon.”
对天门一无所知的众人，看样子，似乎对天门的出现兴趣不大。
However, the interest that everyone expressed towards the Heavenly Gate, which they didn’t know much about, wasn’t too great.
他们反而好奇，好奇聂天从何处得到的消息。
Instead, they were curious about how Nie Tian had obtained the information.
“从我师傅留给我的那一块令牌中得来的消息。”编排了一个借口，聂天详细去解释天门的奥妙，告诉他们天门通往的奇异天地，有着种种太古奥妙，有异族的秘纹，有古炼气士留下的修炼感悟，有各类天材异宝，有通灵的器物。
“It’s a piece of information that I obtained from the command medallion that my master left for me.” Using an excuse, Nie Tian detailedly explained the details of the Heavenly Gate, the fantastic world that the Heavenly Gate led to, the various types of immemorial mysteries, the secret patterns of the various tribes, as well as the cultivation secrets, various heavenly materials, and spirit equipment left behind by the ancient Lianqi warriors.
一听消息得自巫寂，众人都暗暗动容，待到听说天门之内，竟拥有如此多的奇妙以后，大家都目显异色。
Once they heard that the information was supposedly from Wu Ji, everyone was secretly moved. After hearing about the various wonders within the Heavenly Gate, everyone’s expression clearly changed.
这时，聂天又告诉他们，狱府、鬼宗和血宗，最先得到了天门的消息，之所以急着对灵宝阁下手，也是要尽可能消弱他们的力量，让他们没有足够的实力，去争抢进入天门的名额。
At that moment, Nie Tian told them about how the Prison Department, Ghost Sect, and the Blood Sect were the first to obtain the information regarding the Heavenly Gate, which led them to impatiently make a move against the Ling Bao Court, which was done in order to weaken their strength to make sure that they had insufficient strength to enter the Heavenly Gate.
“天门竟如此关键神奇！”安荣骇然，“连其它域的强者，也在垂涎天门，暗自勾结了狱府、鬼宗和血宗，想要安排人通过那个天门踏入？”
“The Heavenly Gate is actually such a magical thing!” An Rong was dumbstruck. “Even experts from the other domains secretly colluded with the Prison Department, Ghost Sect, and the Blood Sect for a chance to arrange for people to step through the Heavenly Gate?”
“我师傅说，希望大家尽可能地，将这个消息传播出去。”聂天打着巫寂的名号，让大家散播消息。
“My master said that he hoped that everyone could spread the information.” Nie Tian borrowed Wu Ji’s name to spread the news.
“以你师傅的能力，他只要一句话，天下皆知，为何要通过你？”潘涛愕然。
“With your master’s abilities, he only needs to say a sentence for everyone under the heavens know about it. Why does he want to pa.s.s it out through you?” Pan Tao was blank.
“那个……”聂天眉头一皱，“他暂时不方便。”
“That…” Nie Tian furrowed his brows. “It’s temporarily inconvenient for him.”
潘涛先是不明，旋即似想通了，喝道：“看来，狱府的那两个玄境高手，还在阻止你师傅离开凌云宗！应该是因为他们在，你师傅才没办法告知各方，只能通过那令牌传讯与你。”
Pan Tao was originally confused. Shortly after, he thought it through and said, “It seems like the two Mysterious Realm experts of the Prison Department are still preventing your master from leaving the Lingyun Sect! It should be because of them that your master hasn’t told everyone, and can only tell you about it due to your command medallion.”
“应该是这样。”聂天顺着他的话说道。
“It should be because of that.” Nie Tian followed his words and said.
“我回一趟安家，将这个消息，告知所有和安家有关的人。”安荣当机立断，又吩咐安诗怡，“你也去黑云城的灵宝阁，把灵宝阁遭受入侵，还有天门的事情，以隐秘的方式，通知其它城池的灵宝阁人。”
“I’ll return to the An Family and tell this piece of information to everyone related to the An Family.” An Rong made a prompt decision and instructed An Shiyi, “You also go to the Ling Bao Court division in Black Cloud City and use a secret method to tell the Ling Bao Court divisions of the other cities about the invasion of the Ling Bao Court, as well as the issue of the Heavenly Gate.”
“好！”安诗怡点头。
“Yes!” An Shiyi nodded her head.
很快，安荣和安诗怡姐妹，便急匆匆由聂家离开。
Quickly, An Rong and the An Sisters hurriedly left the Nie Family.
惊闻天门秘事的姜灵珠，也暗暗吃惊，和叶孤末商量着，该如何将消息传达到凌云宗。
Jiang Lingzhu, who heard about the secret issue of the Heavenly Gate, was also secretly shocked. She discussed with Ye Gumo about how they should pa.s.s the information on to the Lingyun Sect.
潘涛也震惊不已。
Pan Tao was also completely astonished.
“我去一趟云家，让他们将灵宝阁的巨变，还有天门一事，尽快通知灰谷那边！”半响后，潘涛霍然而起，往云家而去。
“I’ll make a trip to the Yun Family and let them know about the enormous changes that occurred to the Ling Bao Court as well as the issue of the Heavenly Gate, and I’ll ask them to quickly inform the Grey Valley!” After a while, Pan Tao suddenly rose and headed towards the Yun Family.
不论是灵宝阁的异变，还是狱府对凌云宗的围堵，聂天都帮不上什么忙。
No matter whether it was the abnormalities that occurred in the Ling Bao Court, or the issue of the Lingyun Sect being surrounded by the Prison Department, Nie Tian couldn’t help any of them.
他觉得他唯一能做的，就是依照华暮的说法，将天门即将于离天域开启的消息，尽可能扩散出去，让灵宝阁知道他们被入侵的真实原因，让凌云宗、灰谷和玄雾宫，能提前去做准备，好应付更大的波澜。
He felt that the only way to help them was to listen to Hua Mu and quickly spread the information of the opening of the Heavenly Gate, thereby letting the Ling Bao Court know of the real reason why they were invaded, and letting the Lingyun Sect, the Grey Valley, and the Black Mist Palace to make preparations to deal with the waves that were even greater than before.
之后两天，他哪也没去，就待在黑云城内，等候着消息。
He didn’t go anywhere during the next two days, and only stayed within the Black Cloud City, waiting for news.
灰谷。
The Grey Valley.
众多身穿灰衣和白衣的炼气士，聚集在那灰蒙蒙的山谷当中，有许多飞禽低低鸣叫着，似在等候着命令。
The many Lianqi warriors, who were wearing grey and white robes, were gathered within a dusky valley. The low cries of many birds rang out, as if they were waiting for an order.
此地的炼气士，不单单只有灰谷的强者，还有不少人从玄雾宫而来。
The Lianqi warriors in the area weren’t just limited to experts from the Grey Valley. There were also many people that came over from the Black Mist Palace.
灰谷的谷主卢策，和玄雾宫的宫主楚思韵，并肩而立。
The Valley Master of the Grey Valley, Lu Ce, as well as the Palace Head of the Black Mist Palace, Chu Siyun, were standing side by side.
在他们两人身后，乃是十几只三阶和四阶的飞禽类灵兽，那些灵兽等阶虽不如雷冥兽，但也同样具备破空飞翔的能力。
There were more than ten Grade Three and Grade Four bird-type spirit beasts behind the two of them. Although the rank of those spirit beasts weren’t as high as the Dark Thunder Beast, they still had the ability to soar through the sky.
到了今天，他们已通过种种途径，获知了发生在赤炎山脉的巨变，也知道狱府将凌云宗围困。
Up till today, they had already used various channels to obtain knowledge about the enormous changes that occurred to the Scarlet Flame Mountain Range, and the Prison Department sieging of the Lingyun Sect.
离赤炎山脉较近的凌云宗，既然已经无法援助灵宝阁，得知消息的他们，就准备以最快的速度，赶往赤炎山脉。
Since the Lingyun Sect, who was the closest to the Scarlet Flame Mountain Range, was already unable to help the Ling Bao Court, they, who knew about this information, prepared to use their greatest speed to rush towards the Scarlet Flame Mountain Range.
除了他们和灵宝阁乃是缔结了血誓的盟友以外，还因为他们灰谷和玄雾宫，也有很多人去参加鉴宝会。
Besides the fact that they had sworn a blood oath with the Ling Bao Court to become their allies, many people of the Grey Valley and the Black Mist Palace had partic.i.p.ated in the Treasure Viewing Gathering.
他们自然不能容忍鬼宗和血宗胡作非为。
They naturally couldn’t tolerate the Ghost Sect and the Blood Sect running amok.
当他们知道赤炎山脉的熔浆烈焰泛滥以后，他们动用了所有的力量，集结了十几只飞禽类的灵兽，想先赶过去支援。
When they heard about the flood of magma within the Scarlet Flame Mountain Range, they used all their strength to gather up more than ten bird-type spirit beasts to rush over there to help out,
在他们蓄势待发之际，一名负责灰谷情报整理的青年，阔步而来，忙道：“谷主，请等一下！我刚从黑云城的云家，得到了一个消息！”
While they were waiting to acc.u.mulate their power, a youth in charge of gathering intelligence for the Grey Valley rushed forward and hastily reports, “Valley Master, please wait for a moment! I’ve just received some news from the Black Cloud City’s Yun Family!”
“什么？”卢策皱眉。
“What?” Lu Ce furrowed his brows.
“云家那边说，巫寂的徒弟，那个叫聂天的小子，替他师傅转达了一件事。”那人神情肃穆，说道：“他说陨星之地的三扇天门，其中有一扇，即将在我们离天域的狱府开启。狱府提前得到了消息，所以才促使了鬼宗、血宗对灵宝阁的入侵。”
“The Yun Family over there said that Wu Ji’s disciple, that youngster called Nie Tian, is helping his master pa.s.s a message on.” That youth had a solemn and respectful expression as he continued, “He said that one of the three Heavenly Gates is about to open near the Prison Department of our Heaven Leaving Domain. The Prison Department obtained this information earlier. That was why they urged the Ghost Sect and the Blood Sect to invade the Ling Bao Court.”
“他说，有域外的强者，已经和狱府、鬼宗、血宗达成了默契，会送一部分三天境的炼气士，进入狱府的那一扇天门。”
“He said that experts from other domains have already formed an agreement with the Prison Department, the Ghost Sect, and the Blood Sect, allowing them to send a few Lianqi warriors in the Three Heavens Realms to enter that Heavenly Gate near the Prison Department.”
“……”
他将聂天通过众人传达的消息，迅速向卢策和楚思韵讲述了一遍。
He rapidly explained the information that Nie Tian had spread out using a crowd to Lu Ce and Chu Siyun.
“天门！”
“The Heavenly Gate!”
卢策和楚思韵，在他刚提起天门时，便轰然巨震。
Lu Ce and Chu Siyun were suddenly shocked when he raised the issue of the Heavenly Gate.
待到那人将其中的缘由说明，卢策和楚思韵，身形都微微颤抖，内心似被彻底的震荡。
After that youth had explained the reasons behind the attacks to Lu Ce and Chu Siyun, their bodies trembled, as if their hearts had been thoroughly shaken.
姜灵珠、潘涛等人，不知道天门的来历，不清楚天门的秘密，是因为他们年龄太小，境界也太低。
Jiang Lingzhu, Pan Tao, and the others didn’t know about the history of the Heavenly Gate and its secrets because they were too young and their cultivation realms were too low.
他们的长辈，兴许也不认为，以后离天域会有天门开启，所以没有向他们说明。
Their elders did not think that a Heavenly Gate would open within the Heavenly Leaving Domain. Thus, they didn’t explain it to them.
可身为灰谷谷主的卢策，玄雾宫宫主的楚思韵，自然不可能不知。
However, Lu Ce, who was the Grey Valley’s Valley Master, and the Black Mist Palace’s Palace Head, Chu Siyun, naturally knew about it.
“天门！原来是因为天门！”卢策深吸一口气，激动道：“难怪血宗和鬼宗大动干戈，不惜挑起离天域的内战，趁机侵入了灵宝阁！天门，都是因为天门会有一扇在离天域开启，他们是在为踏入天门做准备！”
“The Heavenly Gate! So it’s the Heavenly Gate!” Lu Ce took a deep breath and excitedly said, “No wonder the Blood Sect and the Ghost Sect didn’t hesitate to start an internal fight within the Heaven Leaving Domain and took the initiative to invade the Ling Bao Court! The Heavenly Gate, it’s all because a Heavenly Gate will open within the Heaven Leaving Domain! They’re making preparations to step through the Heavenly Gate!”
玄雾宫的楚思韵，沉吟了一下，当机立断道：“赤炎山脉那边，就算我们如今过去了，恐怕也迟了，于事无补。而凌云宗那边，狱府只是按兵不动，并没大开杀戒，我们也没有前往的必要。”
The Black Mist Palace’s Chu Siyun pondered for a while and made a prompt decision, “Even if we currently go over to the Scarlet Flame Mountain Range, it might already be too late, and our efforts will have been wasted. On the other hand, the Prison Department is only arranging troops to be stationed at the Lingyun Sect, and not to start a ma.s.sacre. We also don’t have to advance there.”
“依我看，既然那三方动手了，而且天门又会在狱府开启，不如……”
“In my opinion, since those three parties have made a move, and the Heavenly Gate is going to open at the Prison Department, why don’t we…”
“不如我们直接杀向狱府！”
“Why don’t we directly ma.s.sacre our way to the Prison Department!”
卢策眼睛一亮，道：“好主意！趁着狱府强者调动向凌云宗，我们可以给狱府造成重创！这样不但可以打击到狱府，也能让鬼子和血宗投鼠忌器，会间接助凌云宗和灵宝阁摆脱那三方的压迫！”
Lu Ce’s eyes brightened as he said, “Good plan! If we take the chance to attack the Prison Department while their experts are at the Lingyun Sect, we can deal heavy damage to the Prison Department! Like this, not only can we strike at the Prison Department, we can cause the Ghost Sect and the Blood Sect to become cautious! We’ll also indirectly help the Lingyun Sect and the Ling Bao Court break free of the pressure of those three parties!”
“那就这么决定了！”楚思韵喝道。
“Then it’s settled!” Chu Siyun shouted.
“比起狱府来，赤炎山脉还远一点！”卢策杀气腾腾，道：“所有先天境，还有先天境以上的门人，立即向狱府开赴！只要遇到狱府的人，马上给我放开来杀！天门既然有一扇在离天域现世，不论我们愿意不愿意，离天域都会血流成河！”
“Compared to the Prison Department, the Scarlet Flame Mountain Range is a bit further away!” Lu Ce ferociously shouted, “All sect members that are of the Xiantian Realm or higher, immediately depart for the Prison Department! As long as you meet someone from the Prison Department, immediately kill them! Since a Heavenly Gate is opening within the Heaven Leaving Domain, blood will flow within the Heaven Leaving Domain, whether we like it or not!”
“玄雾宫的也是一样！”楚思韵也下令。
“The Black Mist Palace will do the same!” Chu Siyun also gave his command.
灰谷和玄雾宫的那些强大炼气士，在两人命令下，都以咆哮声回应，很快就朝着狱府的方向奔去。
Under the command of the two people, the strong Lianqi Warriors from the Grey Valley and the Lingyun Sect roared out in reply as they quickly headed towards the Prison Department.
