同一时间，凌云山的后山。
Meanwhile, at the rear part of Lingyun Mountain.
从狱府而来的玄境强者常森和他妻子孔芸，最近几日，一直都在和巫寂闲话家常般讨论修炼之道。
Chang Sen and his wife Kong Yun who were Xuanjing experts that came from Prison Department had been discussing cultivation skills with Wu Ji like they were chatting about domestic trivia.
和外界所猜测不同，常森和孔芸，从过来以后就没有大动干戈的意思。
As opposed to what the outside realm had thought, ever since they came, both Chang Sen and Kong Yun had not have the intention to go to war.
当孔芸得知玄雾宫和灰谷的强者，集合起来杀向狱府时，孔芸向巫寂致歉，旋即腾空而去。
When Kong Yun found out that the experts from Black Mist Palace and Grey Valley had gathered together and made their way towards Prison Department, Kong Yun apologized to Wu Ji. Shortly after, she rose high into the air and went away.
常森，依然留下来，和巫寂探讨修炼之道。
Chang Sen still stayed behind and investigated the cultivation method with Wu Ji.
粗布麻衣，赤着脚，体格魁梧的常森，看起来不像是一名玄境巅峰的炼气士，反而像忙碌于乡间的粗鄙农夫。
Chang Sen who had a tall and st.u.r.dy body figure, wore rough cloth and hemp garment and was bare-footed did not look like a Xuanjing Lianqi warrior that was at his peak. But instead, he looked like a vulgar farmer who was busy in the rural area.
他手脚粗大，身形如虎，声若洪钟。
His legs and hands are bulky. His body shape resembled one that’s like a tiger and his voice sounded like a great clock.
不远处，狱府和凌云宗的强者，还在激战不休，争夺着陨石上的天门钥匙。
In a place not too far away, the experts from both Lingyun Sect and Prison Department were still endlessly having fierce battles, fighting over the Heavenly Gate keys on the meteorites.
但巫寂和常森，则是视而不见，依然在交流着心得。
However, Wu Ji and Chang Sen turned a blind eye to it and still exchanged each other’s knowledge like before.
从鬼宗和血宗侵入灵宝阁起，常森悄然而来，就坐在原地，和巫寂有一搭没一搭地讲着话。
From the time Ghost Sects and Blood Sects intruded Ling Bao Court, Chang Sen had came around quietly. He was already sitting on the original place and trying to make conversations while talking to Wu Ji.
巫寂知道他的来意，也不点明，就陪着他闲话家常。
Wu Ji knew about his purpose in coming. He too did not point it out moved towards to accompany him and chat about domestic trivia.
直到此刻。
Until this moment.
常森沉默了一会儿，才突然说道：“一会儿，我也要走了。巫兄，整个离天域，你是我唯一敬重的人物。和你的谈话，我受益良多，你能教导出那两个惊艳才绝的徒弟，我一直很羡慕。”
Chang Sen stayed silent for a while. Only then did he say suddenly:”In a moment, I too will be leaving. Big brother Wu, you were the only person whom I have respected deeply in the whole Heaven Leaving Realm. I have been benefited considerably from the conversations that I have had with you. I have always admired you for being able to teach the two stunning disciples of yours whose talents were extinct.”
巫寂神色淡然，“是他们自己争气。”
Wu Ji had a tranquil and calm look,”They were the ones who had worked hard for it.”
常森点头，也同意他的说法，然后道：“巫兄，房晖那三人或许不知，但你应该知道，灵宝阁、凌云宗、灰谷和玄雾宫所谓的同盟，在我的眼中，其实根本不堪一击。”
Chang Sen nodded his head, he also agreed with his statements and said:”Big brother Wu, the three people including Fang Hui may not know, but you should be aware in my eyes, the alliance between Black Mist Palace, Ling Bao Court, Lingyun Sect and Grey Valley is simply unable to withstand even a single blow.”
“若是我想，我可以让那四宗，永远从离天域除名。”
“If I have wanted to, I can just let all the four sects remove their names for eternity from Heaven Leaving Realm.”
“我容许四宗的存在，只是将其视为狱府子弟的磨刀石，从未将他们视为和我们狱府一般的尖刀。”
“I have allowed the existence of the four sects just because I see it as a whetstone for the disciples in Prison Department. I have never seen it as a sword that is as sharp as us Prison Department.”
“鬼宗和血宗，在我的眼中，和其它四宗并无太大区别。”
“In my eyes, both blood sect and ghost sect are not much different compared to the other four sects.”
“我狱府，既然立足于离天域，就需要够分量的对手。在我有足够的实力，可以将各宗全部兼并吞没时，我并没有那么去做。”
“Since my Prison Department had stood tall in Heaven Leaving Domain, it would certainly need enough quant.i.ty of opponents. At the time when I still have sufficient strength and is capable of embezzling all of the sects, I did not actually go and do it.”
“没了对手，下面的子弟，也就没了危机感，没了上进心。”
“Without any opponents, the disciples would lose their feeling towards danger and lose their motivation.”
“其它宗门的存在，是我刻意为之，是在打磨他们，去将他们的棱角磨的足够锋利。”
“I have done it deliberately so that the other sects would exist in order to polish them and make their edge and corner sufficiently sharp.
常森语气真诚地说道。
Chang Sen said in a sincere tone.
听他的口气，似乎只要他愿意，单单以狱府一方的力量，就足以横扫离天域，让所有宗门都乖乖听话。
Listening to the way he speaks, it’s like if he had wanted, merely the strength of Prison Department would already be enough to sweep across the Heaven Leaving Domain and let all other sects to obediently do what they were told.
出奇地，巫寂竟然没有出言反驳。
Extraordinarily, Wu Ji did not actually say anything to refute.
似乎，连他都认同常森的话，不觉得常森是信口开河。
It’s as if that even he had agreed with Chang Sen’s words. He did not think that Chang Sen was speaking without thinking.
因为他比任何人都清楚，眼前的常森，有多么的强大。
Because he understood more than anyone just how strong Chang Sen who was in front of him was.
同为玄境，可常森……却是玄境后期大圆满，半只脚已跨入了灵境。
They were both in Xuanjing. Chang Sen however, was someone whose late stage of Xuan Jing had reached perfection. He have already had half of his leg stepping into Lingjing.
常森为离天域当之无愧的第一人，除他以外，离天域再无一人跨入玄境后期，都只是初期和中期的境界修为。
Chang Sen was the person who fully deserved to be number one in Heaven Leaving Domain. Besides him, there was no one in Heaven Leaving Domain that had stepped into late stage of Xuanjing Realm. They were all only at the early or mid-stage of their cultivation realm.
他们四宗，虽每一个宗门，都有一名玄境的强者。
Even though there was a Xuanjing expert in each of the sects among the four sects.
但，除他以外，剩下的三人，都只是玄境初期。
But besides him, the remaining three people were all only at their early stage of Xuanjing Realm.
他本人，也不过刚迈入玄境中期不久。
Even he himself too had only managed to step into the mid-Xuanjing Realm not too long ago.
他自己也明白，如果没有大造化，以他的寿龄……已不足以支撑到他跨入灵境，去获取更多的寿元。
He himself too understood if there had he not have such a good luck, his old age would have been insufficient to hold on until he stepped into Lingjing Realm to obtain even more life energy.
常森眯着眼，看着山脚下的激战，看着那些凌云宗和狱府的强者，去争夺天门钥匙。
Chang Sen squinted as he looked at the fierce battle at the foot of the mountain. He looked at the experts from both Lingyun Sect and Prison Department fighting over the sky door keys.
“世事难料，就算是坤罗域的大贤，也未能推算出这趟的天门，竟自带限制。”
“The affairs of life is difficult to predict. Even the eldest virtuous person from Kun Luo Domain too was unable to calculate that the sky-door this time would have its own limitations.”
“早知如此，鬼宗、血宗和灵宝阁的入侵，我是完全可以避免的。”
“If I had known about this earlier, the intrusion of Blood Sect, Ghost Sect and Ling Bao Court was something that I could have prevented completely.”
“事已至此，后续的争斗，已经没有必要了。”
“Things have reached until this point, the battles onwards are already unnecessary.”
“天门的钥匙，获得者，我会允许他跨入天门，不再另外设置阻碍。”
“I will allow the people who have obtained the Heavenly Gate keys to step into the Heavenly Gate. I will not add on anymore obstacles.”
“外域，有很多人觊觎离天域多年。以前，是因为没有足够的利益，促使他们不惜代价踏入离天域。”
“Outside of the domain, there had been a lot of people who have longed for Heaven Leaving Domain for many years. In the past, it was because there wasn’t enough benefits that had driven them to step into Heaven Leaving Domain at all cost.”
“天门现世，赤炎山脉下的地炎兽脱困，也是征兆之一。往后，离天域还会有更多奇妙一一显现。到了那时，外域的那些连我都没有把握抗御的势力，将会逐个在离天域显露。”
“The appearance of the Heavenly GaTE in the world was also one of the signs of the Earth Flame Beast breaking free from Scarlet Flame Mountain Range. In the future, there would be even more strange phenomenons happening one by one in Heaven Leaving Domain. Until then, the power from the outside domain that even I was not certain if I could resist would one by one, show themselves in Heaven Leaving Domain.”
“离天域的内战，凡境以下的弟子，自身实力不足，死了便死了，不值得心痛。”
“The civil war in Heaven Leaving Domain. The disciples who were below Fanjing had not enough strength in themselves. Them dying would just mean they died. It isn’t worth having a heartache over.”
“内战，也可能会激励他们，让他们从逆战和绝望中突破，从而跨入凡境。”
“Civil war could also possibly motivate them, allowing them to break through from despair and unfavorable fights and as a result, step into Fanjing.”
“我希望天门的试炼结束以后，离天域内，能有更多人进阶凡境。”
“I hope that after the Heavenly Gate trials have ended, there would be even more people who have advanced into Fanjing Realm in Heaven Leaving Domain.”
“那些人，才是以后离天域抵御外域的中坚力量。”
“Those people are the ones that will be the core strength to defend Heaven Leaving Domain from outside domains.”
“从现在起，我会约束鬼宗和血宗，让他们不再挑衅。也希望你能知会其它三方，让他们明白，要不了十年，离天域就将面临外域的攻击。”
“From now on, I will restrict Blood Sect and Ghost Sect and make them stop provoking. I also hope that you can tell the other three sides and let them understand that in not more than ten years, Heaven Leaving Domains would be confronted with attacks from the outside domains.”
“我们也是时候提前准备了。”
“It’s also time for us to prepare in advance.”
常森缓缓说明他的顾虑，将他这趟的真实来意，向巫寂道明。
Chang Sen explained his worries slowly and confessed the true meaning of his visit this time to Wu Ji clearly.
其它各宗的强者，都暗自猜测是因为玄雾宫的那位不在离天域，加灰谷的那位……在闭死关，所以鬼宗和血宗才趁机发难。
The experts from the rest of the sects had all secretly reckoned that it’s because of the person from Black Mist Palace who wasn’t in Heaven Leaving Domain, added on with the person from Grey Valley who was shutting himself up in an impa.s.sable stage that the Blood Sect and Ghost Sect were taking advantage and rising in revolts.
巫寂却明白，事实并非如此。
Wu Ji however, had understood that the truth was not like this.
常森如果真想大动干戈，他根本不需顾忌任何人！
If Chang Sen had really wanted to start a war, he did not even have to worry about anyone!
“我会告知那三方。”巫寂点头。
“I will inform the three sides.” Wu Ji nodded his head.
常森点了点头，便不再多言，他端坐于地的身躯，被风一吹，如轻烟般消散。
Chang Sen nodded his head and stopped saying anymore things. As soon as his body that was sitting upright on the floor was blown by a wind, it disappeared like light smoke.
他的身影，倏一从凌云山的后山消失，下面狱府的府主乔阳，便突然下令：“不管有没有获得天门钥匙，现在就撤离凌云宗！”
As soon as his silhouette abruptly disappeared from the rear part of Lingyun Mountain, Jiao Yang who was the president of Prison Department then gave a sudden order:”No matter if you have gotten the Heavenly Gate keys or not, withdraw from Lingyun Sect immediately!”
所有的狱府强者，听到乔阳的命令以后，虽满心疑惑，却依然纷纷从和凌云宗强者的争斗中脱身。
Even though all of the experts from Prison Department was doubtful in their hearts after listening to the order given out by Jiao Yang, they still escaped from the struggle with the experts from Lingyun Sect one by one.
还有几个烙印在天外陨石上的天门钥匙，他们也没有再去抢夺，而是随着乔阳，有秩序地离开。
There were still a number of Heavenly Gate keys that were marked on the meteorites from the external sky. They too stopped fighting over it and instead followed Jiao Yang and left with order.
凌云宗的那些强者，同样迷惑不解，但却没有阻拦。
The experts from Lingyun Sect also felt puzzled. But they did not stop them.
很快的，围困凌云宗多日的狱府强者，就逐个消失。
Very quickly, the experts from Prison Department that had surrounded Lingyun Sect for many days disappeared one by one.
……
云家门前。
In front of Yun Family.
被溅射的金光刺到的聂天，胸襟布满了血迹，在那些碎芒般的金光缝隙内，不断闪避着，试图靠近段元。
Nie Tian who was stabbed by the sputtering gold light had bloodstain covering his lapel of jacket. He was dodging continuously within the gold light crack that were like fragments of aura as he tried to get close to Duan Yuan.
单单只是双刃战斧溅射的金光，就让聂天胸口撕裂，让他模样凄惨。
Merely a single golden light that was sputtered with a double-edged battle axe had already ripped apart Nie Tian’s chest and made him looked miserable.
来自于狱府，中天境初期的段元，让他意识到两个大境界的差距，究竟有多大。
Duan Yuan who was from Prison Department and had reached the early stage of Zhongtian Realm made him realize that just how big of a gap there was between these two realms.
“嗤！”
“Chi!”
一点金光，在聂东海后背闪现，他闷哼一声，也狼狈地连连暴退。
A bit of gold light flashed from Nie Donghai’s back. He snorted melancholy and again and again retreated violently cutting a sorry figure.
那旋动着的双刃战斧，化为璀璨的金色光团，朝着他追了过去。
The double-edged battle axe that was revolving turned into a bright golden light and went towards and chased after him.
而聂天，则是暂时解除了危机。
Nie Tian on the other hand, had temporarily gotten rid of the crisis.
他扭头一看，发现聂东海带着那双刃战斧，不断地远离他，以免他也被战斧上的金光给波及到。
As he turned around, he noticed Nie Donghai leading the double-edged battle-axe and continuously getting further away from him so as to avoid getting him involved into the gold light that’s on top of the battle axe.
战斧一离开，聂天不顾胸前的伤痛，如一头暴怒的凶兽，直奔段元而去。
As soon as the battle-axe left, Nie Tian went straight to Duan Yuan like a fierce beast in spite of the pain he felt in front of his chest.
一腔怒火，从心头点燃，瞬间蔓延全身。
A raging flame got ignited from his heart and instantly spread over his entire body.
丹田灵海内的汹涌灵力，潜藏于血肉骨骸的力量，在这一刻，轰然爆发。
The power of the flesh and bones that were hidden beneath the spiritual energy that was surging up violently within his dantian spiritual sea burst out loudly at this moment.
“怒拳！”他在心头爆吼。
“Raging fist!” He howled violently in his mind.
“轰！”
“Boom!:
携带着滔天怒意的那一拳，将其一身力量宣泄而出，离天域的云霄深处，似泛起了奇异空间波澜。
The fist that carried an overflowing fury unburdened the strength all over his body unburden and released itself. Deep within the sky of Heaven Leaving Domain looked like it had been suffused with unusual s.p.a.ce ripples.
漆黑夜空中，一个恐怖的巨影，似忽地惊鸿一现，在配合着那怒拳的凶威。
A terrifying enormous shadow looked like it had appeared abruptly with a graceful posture in the middle of the dark, night sky and was corresponding to the fearful might of the raging fist.
感觉到不妙的段元，强行凝聚力量，施展出狱府的秘术。
Duan Yuan who had felt the not too encouraging turn of events forcefully condensed his strength and utilized a secret art from Prison Department.
“炼狱之门！”
“Purgatory Gate!”
段元胸口，一道道狰狞魔影，似在他的灵力之下凝结，合成了一扇生满了尖刺和弯角的怪门。
Threads after threads of malevolent specter that looked like it had combined into an unusual door that’s full of sharp thorns and curved horns in front of his chest it under the condensation of his spiritual energy .
“嘭！”
“Peng!”
聂天的一拳，狠狠地轰击在那一扇怪门上，那门……应声而碎。
Nie Tian’s fist bombarded the unusual door furiously . The door broke into pieces in response.
“噗！”
“Peng!”
一口鲜血，从段元口中狂飙而出，他如被巨山碾压般，身形往后横飞向天。
A mouthful of fresh blood rushed out from Duan Yuan’s mouth. His body splashed across the sky towards the back like he was crushed by a large mountain.
落地后，段元嘴角依然血流不止，却挣扎着，一点点地，单膝跪地而起。
Blood was still flowing continuously from the corner of Duan Yuan’s mouth even after he had dropped down to the ground. He was struggling. Little by little, he kneeled on the ground with one knee and stood up.
“这是什么灵技？！”他惊骇欲绝道。
“What kind of spiritual skill is this?!” He said in shock.
……
