【Where did you say the spring was?】 When they arrived at the summit of God Perch Peak, Shang Ke did not see the clear spring Yan Lu spoken of. There were only seven entrance-size empty holes.
阎戮望了望星空，说道：“马上就有了。”
Yan Lu looked up at the starry sky and said, “Right now.”
话音刚落，脚下忽然传来一阵低沉的轰隆声，随后便见七个孔洞中飘出丝丝雾气，不削片刻，一股股泉水从地底涌出，泛着银白色的粼光，俯瞰之下，有如北斗七星。
He had just finished speaking when a rumbling sound came from below their feet. Soon after, they could see fog coming out from the seven holes. Following that, spring water bubbled out, emitting a silvery white color light. Looking from above, they looked like Ursa Major.
尚可惊讶地问：【你怎么知道泉水会冒出来？】
Shang Ke asked in amazement, 【How did you know spring water was going to come out?】
“直觉。”阎戮将拐杖插在地上，然后脱下身上破烂的布衣，选择其中一口清泉跳了下去。
“Intuition.” Yan Lu stuck his walking stick into the ground and then took off his worn out clothes. He selected a random spring and jumped in.
直觉？尚可心念一动。阎戮失忆前已经修至大乘期，少说修炼了上千年，很可能来过混元界。所以即便失忆，潜意识中，仍然留下了一些印象。
Intuition? Shang Ke had a thought. Yan Lu’s cultivation was at Immortalization Stage before he lost his memories. If he cultivated a thousand years ago, then it was very likely he had went to the Origin Realm before. So even if he lost his memories, he subconsciously still some impression of it.
阎戮泡在泉水中，清吐一口浊气，随即将掌心的花骨朵放在水面上。
Yan Lu soaked in the spring and spat out a breath of impure qi. Following that, he immediately place the flower bud that was resting in his palm on top of the water.
花骨朵入水之后，并没有下沉，而是悬浮其上，如一叶扁舟，随着波纹轻轻摇曳。
After the flower bud was placed into the water, it did not sink. Instead, it floated there like a small boat, swaying gentling with the ripples.
阎戮靠在泉边，双眼闭合，四肢舒展，缓缓进入修炼状态。真元运转，泉水开始有节奏的震动，一圈圈银色的光晕向外荡开，接触花骨朵后，立刻一分为二，交相呼应。
Yan Lu leaned against the spring and closed his eyes. He extended his limbs and slowly entered a cultivation state. His true essence cycled and the spring water started to move rhythmically. Circle after circle of silver light floated out. After they touched the flower bud, they splitted and echoed with each other.
尚可隐约感觉有一丝清凉的气息注入自己的灵体，不断凝练充盈。随着运转的速度加快，体内的温度也越来越高，仿佛置身于火焰之中。
Shang Ke could vaguely feel a trace of cool air pouring into his soul, condensing and plentiful. Along with the increase of Yan Lu’s cycling, the temperature within his body also increased higher and higher like there was a fire within him.
就在尚可以为自己即将被烧成灰烬时，火焰倏地绽开，化作无数火星，点点洒落。
Just when Shang Ke thought that he was going to burn into ashes, the fire swiftly bursted and turned into countless sparks, sprinkling everywhere.
阎戮似有所觉，缓缓睁开眼，发现水面上的花骨朵，不知何时已经盛开，重重叠叠的花瓣，如火云吐雾，妖冶动人。
Yan Lu seem to have felt it and slowly opened his eyes, only to notice that the flower bud on the water surface and already started blooming without his notice. The layers of petals was like a fire in mist, it was devilishly beautiful and moving.
在花蕊中心，一棵小小的蘑菇亭亭玉立，通体洁白，晶莹冰透，散发着月华般的光泽。
In the center of the flower, a small elegant mushroom with spotlessly white body that was translucent and bright emitted a luster like moonlight.
阎戮忍不住伸手，手尖刚刚触及外围的光晕，便见那朵盛开的苍穹赤炎，花瓣片片散开，化作一团耀眼的白光，骤然闪烁。
Yan Lu couldn’t help but reach out to touch it. Just as his hands touched the light outside, the blooming Flaming Red Sky’s petals started to open and turn into dazzling white light that suddenly flickered.
待白光暗淡，一个熟悉的人影出现在阎戮眼前。
When the white light dimmed, a familiar figure appeared before Yan Lu’s eyes.
尚可只觉得意识一片模糊，再睁眼时，已经化身为人。他没想到自己这么快就能化形，看来这些泉水绝非凡俗之物。
Shang Ke had only felt his consciousness become muddled and when he opened his eyes, he had already transformed into a human. He did not expect that he would be able to transform so quickly, it looks like these springs definitely aren’t ordinary things.
尚可抬头看向阎戮，目光莹莹闪动。井口大的泉眼中，两人的身体亲密相贴，可以清晰地感觉到对方的热度。
Shang Ke raised his head to look at Yan Lu, his eyes gleaming with emotions. Within the entrance-size springs, two man intimately embraced and could feel each other’s temperature.
阎戮如同对待珍宝一般，轻抚上尚可的脸颊。那只干枯褶皱的手，与他光洁的皮肤形成鲜明的对比。
Yan Lu treated him like a treasure as he gently stroke Shang Ke’s cheek. His withered wrinkle hands made a great contrast against Shang Ke’s bright and smooth skin.
阎戮动作一顿，目不转睛地盯着自己的手。
Yan Lu’s movement suddenly stopped, he was unable to stop staring at his own hand.
尚可见状，主动握住他的手，笑道：“阎戮，我又能化形了。”
Shang Ke held his hand and smiled when he saw that, “Yan Lu, I can transform again.”
阎戮的目光扫过他的眉，他的眼，最后落在他的唇上，用苍老的声音说道：“我等了太久。”
Yan Lu’s eyes swept past his eyebrows, his eyes and finally landed on his lips. Using his old voice, he said, “I waited too long.”
“抱歉。”尚可清澈的眼眸中，映照出阎戮白发苍苍的模样。
“Sorry.” In Shang Ke’s clear eyes, the old and gray-haired Yan Lu were reflected in them.
阎戮低沉道：“小蘑菇，如今你我皆为正道，你可愿与我双修？”
Yan Lu gloomily said, “Little Mushroom, now that the both of us are both on the righteous path, are you willing to dual cultivate with me?”
“当然。”尚可回答得毫不犹豫。
“Of course.” Shang Ke replied without hesitation.
“即使我这般苍老，你也不在乎？”
“Even if I’m old like this, you don’t care?”
尚可盯着他的脸看了一会，纠结道：“确实有点在乎，要不以后双修的时候，你戴上面具？”
Shang Ke stared at his face for a while and said a bit at loss, “I do care a little, how about you wear a mask in the future when we dual cultivate?”
阎戮：“……我不喜欢戴面具。”
Yan Lu: “…I don’t like to wear masks.”
尚可叹道：“那就只能由我来戴了。”话虽如此说，眼中却没有丝毫鄙弃。在他看来，自己的心理年纪其实与阎戮相差无几。他对阎戮的了解和熟悉，早已超过了只看表象的程度。
Shang Ke sighed, “Then it can’t be helped, I will wear it.” Although he said that, there wasn’t any disdain in his eyes. In his point of view, his mental age was actually not that different from Yan Lu. He was also very familiar with Yan Lu, they have long surpassed the level of just looking at appearances.
阎戮眼中泛起一层波澜，说道：“不必如此麻烦。小蘑菇，你告诉我，你比较喜欢青涩少年，还是健壮青年？是沉稳中年，还是睿智老年？”
Yan Lu’s eyes rippled and he said, “There’s no need for such trouble. Little Mushroom, tell me. Do you like a young and inexperienced youngster or a sturdy youth? A steady middle-age man or a wise and farsighted elderly?”
尚可：“啊？”怎么个意思？
Shang Ke: “Ah? What do you mean?
阎戮解释：“以我的体质，修入开光期后，即可重塑形貌。”
Yan Lu explained, “With my constitution, once my cultivation enters a certain stage, I can reconstruct my appearance.”
普通修真者，需达到元婴期，才有塑形的能力。阎戮经历过八重魔劫，身体已然超凡入圣。若非自毁功力伤害太大，他也不会骤然苍老。
Ordinary cultivators would obtain the ability change their appearance after they reach Nascent Soul Stage. Yan Lu had went through the devil tribulation so his body was already out of the ordinary. If it weren’t for the backlash of destroying his cultivation being too high, he would not suddenly become old either.
尚可瞪大眼睛，既然可以塑形，为什么还要伪装成一个邋遢的糟老头？不知道在这个看颜的世界，外貌有多重要吗？！
Shang Ke’s eyes widen, since he can remake his appearance, why did he pretend to be a sloppy old man? Does he not know that in this world based on looks, just how important appearances are?!
尚可沉默片刻，开口道：“我想，我更喜欢你变成孩童的模样。”
Shang Ke stayed quiet for a moment, then spoke, “I think, I like the children look more.”
“……你喜欢孩童？”阎戮神色凝重，难得苦恼道，“变成孩童也不是不可以，但如此一来，许多双修体位恐怕就无法完成了，除非再研究一些新的技巧……”
“…You like childrens?” Yan Lu’s expression was grave, in a seldom distressed mood. “It’s not impossible to change into a child, but if I do that, there’s a lot of dual cultivation positions we can’t do. Only if we research some more techniques…”
“打住！”尚可算明白了，这家伙真的是毫无节操可言，“你还是恢复青年模样吧。”
“Halt!” Shang Ke finally understood, this guy really has no integrity to be spoken of, “Just turn back into how you were before.”
阎戮嘴角上扬，低头轻触了一下尚可的嘴唇，随即沉入泉水中。不过多时，泉水涌动，水雾腾起，四周很快变得一片朦胧。
Yan Lu’s lips rose. He dipped his head to peck Shang Ke’s lips then submerged into the water. Not longer after, the spring water started to bubble and fog rose. The surrounding turned hazy.
尚可正在凝神四顾，突然感觉一双大手将自己猛地拉入水下，然后嘴唇被堵住，一条火热的舌头滑入口中。两人悬浮在水中，身体交缠翻滚，如连体婴一般。
Shang Ke was vigilantly looking around when he suddenly felt a large hand suddenly drag him under water. Then his lips were blocked, a fiery tongue slipped through his lips. The two man floated in the water as their bodies tangled together like conjoined twins.
正在这时，泉眼上方，先后出现了数名修真者。
Right at this moment, several cultivators appeared above the spring.
其中一人说道：“奇怪，此处仙气浓郁，为何找不到源头？”
One of them spoke, “Strange, this place is full of immortal qi, why can’t we find the source?”
另一人接口道：“莫非来晚一步，已经有人将宝物带走了？”
The other added, “Perhaps we came too late and someone else already too it?”
“恐怕是的。”
“Perhaps so.”
空中弥漫的雾气遮挡了众人的视线，他们并未留意峰顶上的七口清泉，也不曾察觉正在泉下双修合体的两人。这七口清泉名为“七星泉”，七星相连，组合成一个特殊的阵法，除非走进阵中，否则很难发现清泉的奇特之处。
The fog in the air blocked everyone’s line of sight and they were not mindful of the seven springs at the summit. They also did not sense the two below in the spring that were dual cultivating. These seven springs were called “Seven Star Spring” and were linked together, assembling into a special array. Only if one entered the middle of the array would one find the peculiarness, otherwise, it was very hard to notice anything strange.
泉下的尚可和阎戮，距离上方的修真者不过四五十米，耳聪目明的两人，将他们的声音听得一清二楚。
The underwater Shang Ke and Yan Lu were not even forty to fifty meters away from those cultivators. The sharped ear them heard everything those cultivators said.
尚可两手环住阎戮的脖子，两腿盘在他腰侧，不敢妄动。
Shang Ke hand both arms around Yan Lu’s neck and his legs around his waist, he didn’t dare to move.
阎戮却不在乎，长驱直入，攻城掠地，运作间，还不忘运转真元，阴阳调和。
But Yan Lu did not care, he entered and left as he pleased, enjoying himself. While he moved, he also did not forget to cycle his true essence and the yin-yang blended.
尚可就像被戳中肚皮的小鱼，嘴里吐出一连串泡泡。身体在水中沉沉浮浮，除了紧紧攀附在阎戮身上，根本无法着力。
Shang Ke was like a small fish that was being poked in the stomach, bubbles rose from his mouth in succession. His body floated heavily in the water, besides clinging tightly to Yan Lu, he simply couldn’t do anything.
尚可抬头看向泉眼，忍不住抱怨：那群家伙到底还要在上面聊多久？他快被火力旺盛的某人煮成蘑菇汤了好吗？！
Shang Ke raised his head up to look out the spring. He couldn’t help but complain: Just how long does that group plan to idle around and chat? He’s about to be cooked into mushroom soup by a certain vigorous someone alright?!
大概是听到了尚可的抱怨，那群修真在搜寻无果后，终于失望地离开了栖神峰。
Like they heard Shang Ke’s complaints, that group of cultivators finally left God Perch Peak after their search ended up fruitless.
尚可连连拍打阎戮的肩膀，示意他赶紧上去，阎戮却不为所动，继续抱着小蘑菇在水下翻滚。
Shang Ke repeatedly slapped Yan Lu’s shoulder, hinting at him to quickly go up. But Yuan Lu remain unmoved and continued to hold his little mushroom to roll around under water.
【我快憋不住气了。】尚可急忙用神识传音。
【I’m about to run out of breath.】 Shang Ke hastily used his divine sense to tell him.
阎戮看了看拼命憋气的尚可，奇怪地问道：【作为一棵蘑菇，你不知道自己可以在水下呼吸吗？】
Yan Lu looked at Shang Ke who was doing his best to hold his breath and asked strange: 【As a mushroom, do you not know that you can breathe underwater?】
尚可：……居然还可以这样？
Shang Ke: …He could do that?
阎戮似乎觉得他此刻的表情很有趣，忍不住多看几眼。
Apparently Yan Lu felt that Shang Ke’s current expression was very interesting so he took a couple more looks at it.
尚可皱了皱鼻子，试着在水下呼吸，果然很顺畅。泉水渗入自己体内，仿佛变成养分，被他一一吸收。吸收越多，力量越是充盈。泉水中似乎蕴含着某种神力，一点点凝练他们的真元，让他们的修行变得更加水到渠成。
Shang Ke wrinkled his nose and tried breathing underwater, he really could do it. The spring water permeated his body and turned into nutrients that was absorbed by him. The more he absorbed, the more power he gained. The water seem to contain some kind of power that condensed their true essence bit by bit and allowed their cultivation to become even more successful.
两人就像海绵，不断吸收着水分，然后通过双修，将其转化为自身的力量。
The two were like sponges, absorbing the water without end and then turning it into power by dual cultivation.
不知过了多久，阎戮忽然睁开双眼，眼中闪过一抹精光，体内的真元开始快速凝聚，然后盘旋飞转，最后在丹田处形成一个婴儿模样的能量体，即为元婴。
He didn’t know how long it lasted when Yan Lu suddenly opened his eyes and a golden light flashed through his eyes. The true essence in his body started to quickly condense, then spiral rapidly. Finally, an infant looking energy body formed in his dantain, turning into a Nascent Soul.
而尚可，体内真元凝结成一颗金丹，仙灵之气，遍布全身。与此同时，他右胸处的那朵苍穹赤炎，再次绽放，在他洁白的皮肤上灼灼燃烧，红得炫目。
And for Shang Ke, the true essence in his body condensed into a golden dan, immortal qi covered his entire body. At the same time, the Flaming Red Sky on his right chest once again blossomed, burning brightly on his white skin, so dazzling red.
两人被体内射出的万丈金光团团包裹，一起晋入另一个领域，修为大成。
The two were covered by the golden light emitted from their body and entered a new stage together, greatly improving their cultivation.
尚可还来不及欣喜，突然感觉阎戮身体一震，随后一股热流涌入他的体内。
Shang Ke did not even have the time to feel happy when he felt Yan Lu’s body shake and a warm flow entered his body.
并非真元，而是……尚可脸颊泛红，瞪了阎戮一眼。后者却是一脸坦然，一波高潮过去，依然没有停止的意思，抱着尚可继续“修炼”，直到将他煮成一锅蘑菇大补汤……
It wasn’t true essence, but… Shang Ke’s cheeks went red as he glared at Yan Lu. Nevertheless, the other had a face of calm and did not have any plans of stopping once his high tide passed. He held Shang Ke and continued to “cultivate” until he cooked Shang Ke into a greatly nutrioush mushroom soup…
几个时辰后，泉水退隐，阎戮这才带着软软的尚可飞出泉眼。
A couple hours later, the spring water disappeared. Yan Lu fly out of the spring with a Shang Ke that had completely gone limp.
尚可穿上一件长衫，遮住身上的点点斑痕。
Shang Ke put on a long gown, completely covering the bits and dots on his body.
阎戮低下头，帮他系上衣带。
Yan Lu lowered his head and helped him tie his belt.
虽无言语，却有一种淡淡的情愫萦绕其中。
Although they remained silent, a faint tender feeling lingered around them.
正在这时，天地突然震动，一股巨大的威压席卷而来。身处混元界中的所有人，全都运转真元，拼命抵御这股威压的攻击。不过片刻，许多人的眼耳口鼻中，流出一股股鲜血，体内真元动荡，如暴风雨中的小船，随时都有翻覆的危险。
Right at this moment, Heaven and Earth suddenly shook and a great pressuring power appeared. Everyone in the Origin Realm activated their true essence, doing their best to resist the attack of the power. But after a short period of time, many people had blood flowing from their eyes, ears, nose and mouth. The true essence in their body went chaotic like a small boat in a rainstorm, in danger of overturning at any time.
众人没想到在即将离开之际，竟然会遇到如此猛烈的冲击。仅仅只是神威，便让众人几乎魂飞魄散。
Everyone did not expect that when they were close to leaving this realm that such a fierce attack would hit them. Just the might of god almost scattered everyone’s soul.
短短一炷香的时间，就有三分之二的修真者身受重伤，其中一部分更是直接殒命。一时间，惨叫声和自爆声此起彼伏，令人惊惧。
In the short time of an incense, two-thirds of the cultivators were heavily injured while a portion directly died. For a comment, screams and explosions repeated one after another, alarming everyone.
就在众人即将达到极限时，四周空间扭曲，混元界中的人全部被驱逐出界。
Just when everyone was about to reach their limits, their surrounding space twisted. Everyone in the Origin Realm was expelled from it.
天空中，一具具尸体如流星般坠落，光芒绽放，洒下一片血雨。
In the sky, body after body fell like a meteor shower. Light bloomed and blood rained.
另外一群人大多身受重伤，脸色惨白，堪堪稳住身形，在天上摇摇欲坠。
The other group of people were heavily injured, their complexion were deathly white and they did their best to steady themselves as they staggered in the sky.
只有少数人，身姿挺立，气息如常。卓然风范，在一群狼狈的伤者中，如日月之辉，耀人瞩目。
Only a small number of people stood tall and free of harm. The outstanding ones were like the splendor of the sun and moon, so brilliant that everyone focuses on them as they stood tall within the group of injuries.
其实力修为，高下立分。
The different levels of cultivations displayed their difference.
正在众人关注之际，天空中突然绽放出一片耀眼的金光。
While everyone was paying attention, a dazzling golden light bloomed in the sky.
众人同时遮住眼睛，不敢直视其锋芒。
Everyone covered their eyes at the same time, they did not dare to look at it.
耀眼的金光中，隐约出现了两道模糊的身影。
Within the dazzling golden light, two vague figures appeared.
