未知异地。
At an unknown place.
天空终年灰蒙蒙的，没有日月星城，没有白昼与黑夜。
Throughout the entire year, the sky was dusky. There were no suns, stars, or moons. There was no daytime or nighttime.
通过那两只巨臂，感悟混乱磁场的聂天，重复着凝聚磁场，精神力流失殆尽，然后沉睡的过程。
Nie Tian, who comprehended the chaotic magnetic field via the two enormous arms, repeated the process of condensing the magnetic field, nearly exhausting all of his mental power, then sleeping.
他完全感觉不到时间的流逝。
He was completely unaware of the pa.s.sing of time.
这天，沉睡中的他，突然被痛意给唤醒。
Today, he who was sleeping was suddenly awakened by a jolt of pain.
精神力还没有完全恢复的他，有些茫然，旋即发现痛意……来源于手背上的“门”形图案。
He, who hadn’t fully recovered his mental power, was somewhat blank. Shortly after, he discovered that the pain...came from the “Door” shaped pattern on the back of his arm.
那刺青般的图案，微微闪烁着光芒，像是细小的针，不断刺入他血肉。
That tattoo-like pattern had a slight flicker of light, and it was like a thin needle that unceasingly stabbed into his flesh.
在此之前，那刺青般的图案，从无异常。
Before now, that tattoo-like pattern had never acted abnormally.
“天门钥匙……”聂天心神一动，忽然有所觉察。
“The Heavenly Gate Key…” Nie Tian’s mind shook, and suddenly, he somewhat realised something.
他猜测，一定是因为天门即将开启，所以从不知名域外坠落的天门钥匙，才会发生如此怪变。
He guessed that the Heavenly Gate was definitely about to open, so the Heavenly Gate Key that fell from an unknown domain would have an abnormal change like this.
“看来，是时候再次离开了。”
“It seems like it’s time to leave again.”
站起来，走到炎龙铠停放之处，他伸出了一根手指，点在了炎龙铠胸口部位的血核。
He stood up and walked to the area where the Flame Dragon Armor was. He extended a finger outwards and tapped the blood stone that was on the chest part of the Flame Dragon Armor.
他将自己的想法，以灵魂传递过去。
He was using his own method to send his soul out.
从进入这异地起，就变得黯淡无光，始终没有波动的炎龙铠，猛地闪烁出点点火光。
The Flame Dragon Armor that had become dull without colour ever since entering the mysterious land suddenly flickered with dots of fire.
那些火光，像是一颗颗游荡的星辰，就在甲胄内流动着。
Those lights of fire were like moving stars that flowed within the armor.
“嗤！”
“Chi!”
下一刻，炎龙铠又化为炽热火团，被汹涌烈焰给包裹。
In the next moment, the Flame Dragon Armor turned into a clump of burning fire, and was wrapped up by the surging fire.
火焰之心，一个米粒大小的光点，膨胀着，迅速扩大。
The heart of fire, which was a grain sized dot of light, expanded at a rapid speed.
一股吸力突然产生！
An absorbing force was suddenly generated!
聂天的身影，变成了一束流光，瞬间逸入其中。
Nie Tian’s figure turned into a stream of light that suddenly went inside it.
同一时间，凌云宗的后山。
At the same time, at the rear mountain of the Lingyun Sect.
等候了多时的巫寂，突有所觉，他眼睛一眯，缭绕于附近的天地灵气，立即形成了一层肉眼难见的隔膜。
Wu Ji, who had waited for a long time, suddenly felt something. He narrowed his eyes, and the surrounding Heaven and Earth spirit qi immediately turned into a part.i.tion that was hard to see with the naked eye.
山顶所有异常的动静，在那一层隔膜的阻碍之下，不泄露分毫。
Not even a single bit of the abnormal sounds on the mountain was exposed, under the blocking of the part.i.tion.
“喀喀！”
“Ka ka!”
一道道空间缝隙乍现，一点火光陡然闪烁而出，也在瞬间绽开，形成了一条火焰甬道。
A s.p.a.ce crack suddenly appeared, and a dot of fiery light suddenly flickered and came out. In the same instant that it rushed out, it formed a corridor of fire.
聂天的身影，就从那刚刚形成的火焰通道内，轰然而出。
Nie Tian’s figure emerged from that newly formed pathway of fire as he loudly came out.
“啪嗒！”
“Pa ta!”
和聂天一并坠落的，还有那火光四溢的炎龙铠，和炎龙铠上传来的奇异气息。
And the Flame Dragon Armor, which came out with Nie Tian, was overflowing with a fiery light as it released a mysterious aura from it.
巫寂眸中精光一闪，视线顿时落在那件炎龙铠上。
Wu Ji’s pupils flashed, and his line of sight immediately landed on the Flame Dragon Armor.
似感知到巫寂的注视，落地的炎龙铠，突急剧收缩，变幻为一个小小的火点，竟主动躲入聂天手腕上的储物手环。
The Flame Dragon Armor that had fallen to the ground seemed to have noticed Wu Ji’s attention and rapidly shrunk, becoming a small dot of fire that took the initiative to hide itself on the storage ring on Nie Tian’s wrist.
“好有灵性……”巫寂略有些惊诧。
“It has intelligence…” Wu Ji was slightly amazed.
也在此刻，那些突显的空间缝隙，又迅速收缩着，渐渐消失。
It was also at this moment, when the s.p.a.ce crack that suddenly appeared rapidly shrunk and gradually disappeared.
跨域而回的聂天，头有点晕，他清醒以后，第一眼就看到了巫寂，灿然一笑，道：“师傅。”
Nie Tian, who had crossed domains and returned, had a slight headache. After he became clear-headed, the first thing he saw was Wu Ji. He brilliantly smiled and said: “Master.”
巫寂轻轻点头，随意询问：“可有收获？”
Wu Ji gently nodded his head and followed up with a question: “Did you reap any rewards?”
聂天笑容满面，道：“修习了两种奇异手诀。”
Nie Tian had a smile across his whole face as he said: “I’ve learnt two mysterious hand techniques.”
巫寂眼睛亮了一下，他没有去询问细节，而是问道：“怎么现在才回？”
Wu Ji’s eyes brightened for a moment. He didn’t ask for any further details. Instead, he asked: “Why did you only come back now?”
“那儿没有时间的概念，我也不知天门何时开启。”聂天伸出手，指向手背上的门形图案，道：“还是因为它的提醒，我才知道天门快要出现了，所以才醒转过来，急匆匆赶回。”
“I didn’t have any idea of time over there, and I didn’t know when the Heavenly Gate would open.” Nie Tian extended his hand and pointed towards the door shaped pattern on the back of his hand, and said: “It’s because of its reminder that I knew that the Heavenly Gate was about to open. Therefore, I quickly realised that and hastily rushed back.”
上一次，是由于血核内的火焰之力，消耗了太多，所以主动促使他返回。
Last time, it was because too much of the power of fire within the blood stone was wasted, so it took the initiative to send him back.
这趟，炎龙铠和血核在赤炎山脉内，吸收了众多的地火晶线，明显储备了极其丰沛的火焰之力，完全可以任由他在里面挥霍时间，才让他浑然不觉。
This time, the Flame Dragon Armor and the blood stone had absorbed many Earth Fire Crystal Strings within the Scarlet Flame Mountain Range, and had clearly stored up an extremely plentiful amount of the power of fire, which let him spend an extravagant amount of time inside without noticing at all.
“你在那儿，都能感觉到天门钥匙的异常？”巫寂微微一惊。
“When you were over there, you could feel the abnormalities of the Heavenly Gate Key?” Wu Ji was slightly startled.
“是啊。”聂天回应。
“Yeah.” Nie Tian replied.
如今，离那天门的开启，只剩下两天时间了，所有获取天门钥匙者，都察觉到了那门形图案的刺痛。
Currently, there were only two days left before the opening of the Heavenly Gate. All of the people who had obtained Heavenly Gate Keys felt the piercing pain from the door shaped pattern.
那些人，不需要狱府的提醒，也知道天门即将开启了。
Those people didn’t need the reminder of the Prison Department, and also knew that the Heavenly Gate was about to open.
天门将会在离天域开启，那些出现于离天域的天门钥匙，能提前做出警示，巫寂并不觉得奇怪。
The Heavenly Gate would open in the Heaven Leaving Domain, and the Heavenly Gate Keys that appeared within the Heaven Leaving Domain would make a warning. Wu Ji didn’t find this strange.
可聂天，分明不再离天域，而是在某个不知与离天域隔了多少虚空的异地，那天门钥匙……竟依然有所提醒。
However, Nie Tian clearly wasn’t within the Heaven Leaving Domain. Instead, he was in mysterious land that was separated from the Heaven Leaving Domain by some unknown distance. That Heavenly Gate Key...unexpectedly still gave a reminder.
这让巫寂都暗暗惊惧不安，觉得每隔一些年，就在陨星之地显现的天门，果真是有着无穷神秘。
This made Wu Ji secretly uneasy. He felt that every few years, the Heavenly Gate that appeared in the Meteorite Land really had an endless amount of secrets.
他相信，每一个从域外而来的天门钥匙，可能都存在着神奇的空间波动。
He believed that every Heavenly Gate Key that came from outside the domain could be existing within a mysterious s.p.a.ce undulation.
那空间波动，竟然强烈到可以无视无穷虚空的隔阂！
That s.p.a.ce undulation could actually so strong that it could ignore the endless distance of s.p.a.ce!
“天门，不愧是陨星之地谜团之一。”巫寂嘀咕了一句，道：“快到时间了，宗门获取天门钥匙的十三人，早就已经出发去狱府了。这趟，狱府不会设置任何的阻碍，允许任何得到天门钥匙者跨入其中。”
“The Heavenly Gate is worthy to be called one of the enigmas of the Meteorite Land.” Wu Ji whispered out a sentence and said: “It’s almost time. The sect’s thirteen people who obtained Heavenly Gate Keys have already set off to the Prison Department. This time, the Prison Department won’t make any obstructions, and will let anyone who obtained a Heavenly Gate Key to step inside.”
“本来，你如果能提前出来，我还有很多事情交代，但现在时间有点来不及了。”
“Originally, if you exited earlier, I would still have a lot of things to hand over to you/explain to you. However, there’s not enough time now.”
“你也必须尽快动身出发了。”
“You also have to set off as fast as possible.”
这般说着，他哼了一声，冷冷看向某处，“还不滚过来？”
As he said that, he snorted and coldly looked somewhere, “You still haven’t rolled over?”
雷冥兽委屈的低鸣声，从远处天空传来，它的身影，也在巫寂的冷哼声中，渐渐显现而出。
The low cry of the Dark Thunder Beast who felt wronged came over from the distance. Its figure gradually appeared as Wu Ji coldly snorted.
“把那块令牌给我。”巫寂道。
“Give that command medallion to me.” Wu Ji said.
聂天赶紧从储物手环内，将巫寂曾给予他，让他去灵宝阁挑选三件器物的令牌取出，双手递给递给巫寂。
Nie Tian hurriedly used both hands to pa.s.s over the command medallion that Wu Ji gave him to allow him to choose three items from the Ling Bao Court from his storage ring.
巫寂接过那令牌，身上骤然涌现奇异的精神波动，仿佛有很多幽影暗光，从巫寂体内飞出，迅速注入那令牌内。
Wu Ji received the command medallion, and a mysterious spirit suddenly emerged from his body, as if there were many underworldly figures of dark light that flew out of Wu Ji’s body and rapidly flew into the command medallion.
“你去狱府的途中，可以用精神力观阅，里面有你需要注意的事项，还有三篇灵诀，你自己体悟，看是一并修炼，还是选择其中某一种。”
“While you are going to the Prison Department, you can use your mental power to read over this. There are things that you must pay attention to inside, as well as three cultivation secrets. You can go comprehend it by youself. See whether you want to cultivation them together or choose one of them.”
巫寂将其灵魂印记，直接注入那令牌以后，又将其递给了聂天。
After Wu Ji directly placed his spiritual imprint on the command medallion, he pa.s.sed it back to Nie Tian.
并再次说道：“除了令牌外，这里有两枚我制作的灵符。这两枚灵符，可以抵挡绝大多数三天境者的两次全力攻击。使用的方法，也在那令牌当中，你一看就知。”
Furthermore, he continued speaking: “Besides this command medallion, here are two spirit talismans that I made. These two spirit talismans can withstand two attacks from the majority of cultivators at the Three Heavens Realm. The method to use it in also within that medallion. You’ll know once you see it.”
话罢，他将那两枚三角形，以某种玉石制作的灵符，也递了过来。
As he said that, he handed the two triangle shaped spirit talismans that were made out of some kind of precious stone over to Nie Tian.
聂天伸手接住，忙道：“谢谢师傅厚爱。”
Nie Tian extended his hand to receive it and hastily said: “Thanks for master’s deep love.”
两枚灵符，可抵挡三天境强者的两次攻击，这可以让他在天门内的秘界内，大大提升存活率。
The two spirit talismans could withstand two attacks from experts at the Three Heavens Realm. This would greatly increase his chance of survival within the secret realm within the Heavenly Gate.
“你记住一点，那两枚灵符，我也不敢说万无一失。因为你一旦踏入天门内，你所面对的，就不仅仅只是离天域的那些家伙。”
“You should remember this point. I don’t dare to say that those two spirit talismans are absolutely safe. Because, once you step into the Heavenly Gate, the people that you face won’t just be those guys from the Heaven Leaving Domain.”
“其它的八域，有更多强大的青年才俊，背后也有如我一般的人物支持着他们。”
“The other eight domains have even more youth genuises, and they also have a figure like me who is supporting them from behind.”
“那些人，手中恐怕也多多少少都要一点异宝，你要是不幸遇到了他们，那两枚灵符，也不是百分百保险。”
“I’m afraid that those people more or less have some special treasures. If you unluckily meet them, then those two spirit talismans aren’t hundred percent safe.”
聂天忙道：“徒儿明白。”
Nie Tian hastily said: “Disciple will remember.”
“这三个冰爆珠，你也一并收好。冰爆珠是一次性消耗品，一旦爆裂开来，能瞬间溅射出数百碎小冰棱，使用时切记小心，弄不好会伤到自己人。”
“You should also keep these three Ice Bursting Pearls well. The Ice Bursting Pearls are one time usage items. Once they explode, they can instantly spray out several hundreds of small ice spikes. You should be careful while using it. If you don’t use it right, you’ll hurt your own men.”
“这里是一些灵石，还有几种丹药。灵石和丹药，都是紧急使用的，不是用来修炼去强行激发你的潜力的东西。”
“Here are some spirit stones, as well as a few pills. These spirit stones and pills should be used for emergencies, not for cultivation or forcefully exciting your potential.
“这里……”
“Here…”
巫寂一件件的，取出了种种他为聂天准备之物，一边叮嘱着，一边交到聂天手中。
Wu Ji took out the items that he had prepared for Nie Tian, one by one. He warned Nie TIan while pa.s.sing it to him.
聂天瞪大眼，接着一件件珍稀异物，第一次感觉到，有一个强大如巫寂的师傅，是多么幸福的一件事。
Nie Tian widely opened his eyes as he received the precious items. This was the first time that he felt how lucky he was to get a strong master like Wu Ji.
