A Thought Through Eternity

“这哪里是什么煞魂，这些分明就是厉鬼！”白小纯心惊肉跳，急速逃遁，心肝都在颤抖，方才与小女孩目光对望的一瞬，他清晰的感受到了一股生死危机，那种感觉，极为强烈，仿佛全身的每一寸血肉都在尖叫。

“These aren’t evil beasts, they’re freaking devils!” Bai Xiaochun’s heart was beating loudly as he ran for his life, trembling. The instant his eyes had locked onto that little girl's, he clearly felt that his life was being threatened, an extremely intense sensation, as if each inch of his blood and flesh was all screaming at once.

他有种预感，若是自己逃的慢了，会死在这里！

He had a feeling that if he was too slow in his escape, it would be his death!

死亡的感觉，让白小纯身体颤抖时，呼吸急促，眼中出现了血丝，此刻速度更快，顺着陨剑世界，向着深处飞奔。

That sensation of death made Bai Xiaochun tremble. Breathing rapidly, his eyes reddened as he increased his speed, flying along through the Ancient Blade World as he headed into the deeper parts.

只是一天后，他多次回头观察，确定没有煞魂追来，尤其是那个小女孩没有出现，这才长长的松了口气。

One day later, he looked back multiple times to make sure that there weren’t any evil spirits chasing him, especially that little girl. Only then did he let out a sigh of relief.

“那白衣小女孩不对劲！她原本与其他煞魂一样，可吃下了那枚怪丹后，整个气息都变了！”白小纯回想一天前的那一幕，心有余悸。

“There’s something wrong with that little girl in the white shirt! She was originally the same as all the other evil spirits, but her Qi, her soul (I don't know if you meant soul but it seems right), all changed after she ate that odd pellet!” Bai Xiaochun recalled the very frightening scene from yesterday.

“我到底是什么地方炼错了……”白小纯哭丧着脸，有心放弃，可一想到丹药的确能吸引煞兽，他就舍不得，此刻一咬牙，再次前行中，一边寻找煞兽，一边研究自己的药方，又过去了三天，终于的，他将自己的药方改良后，用了好大的决心，才重新开炉，又炼了一炉丹药。

“What went wrong in refining the pill this time…?” Bai Xiaochun made a crying face as he wanted to give up slightly, but after remembering that the pellets could actually attract evil beasts, he decided not to. Clenching his teeth, he moved forward once more, searching for evil beasts as he researched the possible errors in his own recipe. Three days passed, and finally, after making adjustments to his recipe, He gathered his determination before reopening the furnace to start refining again.

这一次没有雷霆，没有异变，药香散开时，白小纯炼出了四枚紫色的丹药，拿着丹药，他小心翼翼的外出尝试，做好了一旦再次将煞魂引来，就立刻逃走的准备。

This time, there wasn’t any lightning, and no odd changes as well. As the medicinal fragrance came out, Bai Xiaochun refined four purple pellets, and with them, he carefully went out to try them out, ready to escape the moment that any evil spirits appear again.

很快的，四周虚无波动，一头头煞兽被吸引过来，白小纯不敢立刻出手，而是飞速退后，谨慎的看着四周。

It wasn’t long before the nothingness around him rippled, evil beast after evil beast shot towards Bai Xiaochun’s direction, attracted by the pellets. Bai Xiaochun didn’t dare to attack immediately, instead quickly flying back to observe his surroundings.

直至被丹药吸引来的煞兽超过了二十多头，依旧没有煞魂出现，白小纯这才松了口大气，振奋激动起来。

There were over twenty evil beasts being attracted, and still no evil spirits appeared. Only then did Bai Xiaochun let out a sigh of relief, excitement replacing his worries.

“成了！”白小纯大笑，取出符箓贴在身上，全身上下立刻防护之光弥漫，冲向煞兽群内，他速度飞快，皮糙肉厚，手中木剑化作长虹，不断的穿梭，与这二十多头煞兽直接开战。

“Success!” Bai Xiaochun laughed out loudly as he took out a talisman to stick onto his body, instantly enveloping him in a protective multi-coloured light. He charged into the group of evil beasts, his speed fast, and his skin tough as the wooden blade in his hand turned into a rainbow, fluttering like silk as the battle with more than twenty evil beasts ensued.

随着一头头煞兽死亡，白小纯目中露出狂喜之意，一道道地脉之气急速而来，融入道瓶内，使得道瓶中的灰色地脉液体，不断地增加。

With the death of each evil beast, Bai Xiaochun’s eyes shone with more and more crazy glee. Wave after wave of earth pulse qi went to him, collected by his dao bottle, the grey liquid inside it was increasing continuously.

半晌后，当四周的煞兽全部被灭杀后，白小纯看着手中的道瓶，内心充满喜悦，仅仅是这么一会的时间，就堪比他之前数日的收获。

A while later, after killing off all the evil beasts in the area, Bai Xiaochun looked happily with satisfaction at the dao bottle in his hand. In only a short while, he had managed to collect a few days’ worth.

他深吸口气，收起丹药改变方向，选择了另一个区域，再次取出丹药，期望的等待起来，很快的，一头头煞兽出现，白小纯哈哈一笑，立刻出手。

Taking a deep breath, he put away the pellets and changed direction, choosing another area. He took out the pellet and waited with anticipation, and soon after, evil beasts started appearing. With a loud laugh, Bai Xiaochun immediately started attacking them.

时间流逝，在丹药的帮助下，白小纯道瓶内的灰色液体，与日俱增，这种收集的速度极为惊人，又过去了数日，这一天，正是白小纯进入这片陨剑世界的第一个完整月，他的道瓶内，已积累了近乎八成的地脉之气。

Time passed, and with the help of the pellets, the grey liquid in Bai Xiaochun’s dao bottle increased with each passing day. This speed of collecting was shocking, and after another few more days, marked the first complete month of Bai Xiaochun’s time in the Ancient Blade Abyss world since he had first stepped in, and his dao bottle was filled to almost eighty percent with Earth Pulse Qi.

“就差最后两成了！”白小纯更为激动，他不知道其他人都搜集到了什么程度，可他觉得能比自己多的，应该没有多少人。

“Twenty percent left!” Bai Xiaochun was excited, he didn’t know the progress of other people, but he felt that the people who had collected more than him shouldn’t be more than a few.

不过他性格喜欢稳妥，此刻打定主意，要一口气冲击十成！

But his personality dictated that he preferred a more stable progress. Making his decision, he decided to charge up the bottle to a hundred percent with one breath!

“我需要更多的煞兽！”白小纯舔了舔嘴唇，咬牙之下冲向陨剑世界的更深处，找到了一个四通八达的区域后，白小纯一口气取出了两枚丹药，这一次为了吸引更多煞兽，他索性将丹药捏碎，挥发在了四周。

“I need more and more evil beasts!” Bai XIaochun licked his lips as he flew to the deeper parts of the Ancient Blade World, teeth clenched. After finding an area with many openings, he took out two pellets at once, decisively crumbling them into dust and scattering them about in order to attract more beasts.

很快的，远处就有虚无扭曲，一头头煞兽，呼啸而来，白小纯立刻出手，轰鸣之声回荡四方时，他的身体外，随着一头头煞兽的死亡，一缕缕地脉之气不断地来临，融入道瓶。

Soon, the space started twisting in the distance, and evil beasts started coming out in waves. Bai Xiaochun attacked without delay, and as the rumbling of the battle echoed, silks of Earth Pulse Qi assimilated into the dao bottle with the death of each evil beast.

因白小纯捏碎了丹药，更因这个位置，虽不是这片世界的最深处，可也无限的接近，所以此地的煞兽数量极多，若是寻找，或许因煞兽沉睡，只有靠近才会出现，但眼下，却是一个个自行苏醒，不断地来临。

Because Bai Xiaochun crumbled the pellets into dust, and because of the location, which, despite not being the lowest and deepest area, was still very close to the bottom, and the evil beasts here were very large in number. If one were to search for them, the beasts would only appear when one gets close to them, perhaps because of the deep sleep most of them were in. At the moment, however, the beasts were all waking up by themselves and charging in Bai Xiaochun’s direction.

慢慢，这里的煞兽不再是数十，而是近百，甚至绝大多数都是中阶，偶尔也会出现高阶煞兽，这样的煞兽，单独一个需要数个天骄联手才可。

Slowly, the evil beasts here weren’t just a few tens in number, but almost a hundred, with most of them being at the middle level and the occasional high level Great Evil Beast. Only one of these Great Evil Beasts needed the allied efforts of a few Heaven’s Chosen to take it down.

甚至到了最后，白小纯击杀的速度不如此地煞兽增长，渐渐这四周的煞兽，足有二百多头，还在不断增加，这是一个让任何修士看到后，都会疯狂的数量。

Towards the end, the rate of Bai Xiaochun’s killing became lower than the rate of increasing evil beasts, and the evil beasts in the vicinity, slowly, reached two hundred, still increasing. This was a number that any cultivator would go crazy after seeing.

已经有四宗的弟子注意到了这里，赶来此地，在周边猎杀，尤其是有一个少年，本是路过此地，看到这里的煞兽后脚步一顿，仔细的扫了一眼所有人，收回目光后踏入煞兽群内，立刻出手。

There were already some disciples of the other four sects noticing this, and they quickly made their way over to kill some of the beasts on the sides. When one youth in particular was passing by, he paused after seeing the evil beasts gathering there. With a careful look at everyone present, he stepped into the crowd of evil beasts and started attacking as well.

这少年出手极为狠辣，他的出现，立刻让丹溪宗的弟子纷纷振奋，白小纯遥遥看去，立刻认出此人就是丹溪宗的第一天骄方林！

The youth’s attacks were cruel and vicious. His appearance instantly made the Pellet River Sect disciples grow excited, and as Bai Xiaochun glanced at him from a distance, he quickly recognized the person as Pellet River Sect’s number one, Jiao Fanglin!

自己引来的煞兽，却被别人抢杀，白小纯有些不甘心，可一想到自身很难快速杀完，于是哼了一声，也就没去在意。

The fact that the evil beasts that Bai Xiaochun himself had attracted were being killed by other people displeased Bai Xiaochun a little, but after realizing that it would be hard for them to kill the beasts faster than himself, he snorted, and didn’t think much of it afterward.

慢慢的，在这片区域的修士，数量超过了四十多人后，这才与煞兽的增长达到了一个平衡，每个人都狂喜，不断地联手灭杀煞兽。

Slowly, when the cultivators in the area reached more than forty people, a balance was met between the arrival of new beasts and the people ready to kill them, all of them were very delighted as they slew them together.

尤其是里面有一些是灵溪宗的弟子，也看到了白小纯，纷纷靠近，在白小纯的照顾下，收获更大。

Some of the people there were, in fact, Spirit River Sect disciples, and upon noticing Bai Xiaochun, they slowly made their way to him, and under his wing, reaped an even larger harvest.

白小纯振奋，他看着道瓶内的地脉液体，此刻已到了九成，再有一些煞兽，就可以化作地脉气引，可就在这时，突然的，远处的天地间，有十多道长虹呼啸而来。

Bai Xiaochun was very excited as he looked at the dao bottle’s Earth Pulse Liquid, already ninety percent full. With a few more beasts, he would be able to form an earth pulse qi attractor*. In this instant, however, a sudden burst of ten rainbows came soaring down from far above. *(I don't know if you want to put this in capitals or not)

这些长虹内的身影，穿着一致，全部都是玄溪宗的弟子，领头之人，是一个大汉，身体四周有雷电环绕，气势惊人。

The figures in the rainbow all wore the same clothing, all of them were Mystic River Sect disciples. Their leader was a huge man, with lightning surrounding his body, he was intimidating.

他的出现，立刻让这片区域的四宗弟子，一个个面色变化，唯独丹溪宗方林，看都不看一眼，依旧杀戮四周煞兽。

His appearance caused the faces on all the four sects’ disciples to change, with only the Pellet River Sect not even bothering to take a look, too busy killing the evil beasts around them.

“雷山！”

“Lei Shan!”

“玄溪宗第二天骄雷山，该死的，他若一个人出现也就罢了，怎么还带着这么多人！”

“Mystic River Sect’s top two, Heaven’s Chosen Lei Shan. Damn it, if it was only him it wouldn’t be that bad, but why does he have so many people following behind him!”

在这四周众人神色变化时，雷山看到如此多的煞兽，顿时狂喜，他也是途中遇到了同宗之人，听说此地出现了这么一个奇怪的兽潮，这才赶来。

But just as the expressions on the people gathered here changed, so did Lei Shan’s, bursting into a delightful face as he saw the amount of evil beasts here. He heard about a weird pool of beasts forming here from a disciple of his own sect who was on his way, quickly rushing here.

“我只差四成就可以凑出一份地脉气引，杀了这里所有的煞兽，就可以成功了！”雷山仰天大笑时，他身边的玄溪宗弟子立刻知晓其意，有一个长脸青年，嘿嘿一笑的迈步走出，向着这片区域，阴冷的开口。

“I only have forty percent left before I can make an earth pulse qi attractor. If I kill all the evil beasts here it’d be completed!” Lei Shan was laughing at the sky when the Mystic Sect disciples beside him understood his meaning. One long faced youth stepped out with wide strides as he chuckled, speaking coldly out at the entire area.

“此地非我玄溪宗弟子，立刻滚开，这里属于我们玄溪宗了！”他话语一出，这片区域内的其他三宗弟子，纷纷怒视，而原本就在这里的玄溪宗弟子，却一个个笑了起来，很快与雷山汇合

在一起，人数足有三十多个。

“Any people not from the Mystic River Sect, scram immediately, this is Mystic River Sects' territory now!” As he spoke, the disciples of the three other sects stared back angrily, and the Mystic River Sect disciples already present started laughing, quickly joining Lei Shan’s group, numbering thirty people.

这三十多人，在雷山的带领下，立刻强行驱赶，若是有要反抗的，顿时就被雷山带人直接灭杀，一时之间，此地大乱。

These thirty people, under Lei Shan’s leadership, took control of the area by force, killing anyone who tried to resist instantly. It wasn’t long before the place erupted into chaos.

“十息之内，留下你们的道瓶，都滚出这里！”

“Within ten breaths, leave all your dao bottles and get out of here!”

“不愿意走的，就把命也留下好了。”玄溪宗众人一个个目光闪动时，血溪宗在这里的**人相互看了看，一个个立刻退后，遥遥远去。

“Those who refuse to leave, why don’t you leave your lives here as well!” As the Mystic River Sect’s crowd’s eyes shone, the people from the Blood River Sect looked at each other, immediately stepping back and leaving.

血溪宗的弟子，大都单独，如同孤狼，即便是雷山也不愿逼的太紧，任由血溪宗这**人离去。

The disciples of the Blood River Sect were all solitary people, similar to foxes and wolves, making even Lei Shan unwilling to force them too much. He allowed the Blood River Sect disciples to leave peacefully.

丹溪宗无奈，只能退避，雷山迟疑了一下，他也看到了兽群内的方林，对于这方林，他不想招惹，他怀疑自己半个月前看到的那处恐怖的战场，就是方林与人战斗时弄出的。

The Pellet River Sect disciples felt helpless, their only option for them was to leave. Lei Shan hesitated, seeing Fanglin in the middle of a group of evil beasts. He didn’t want to go against someone like Fanglin, suspecting that the terrifying war zones he saw half a month earlier was caused by Fanglin while he was battle with other people.

而他对于那片战场很是心惊，此刻迟疑中，任由那些丹溪宗弟子离去，至于方林那边，雷山打定主意，彼此互不相犯。

He was also very shocked at the battlefield, and in his hesitation, allowed the Pellet River Sect disciples to leave as well. As for Fanglin, Lei Shan made a note to himself, to never cross paths with him, so long as he didn’t cross his.

眼看血溪宗与丹溪宗都离去，灵溪宗的弟子，纷纷看向白小纯。

Seeing the departure of Blood River Sect and Pellet River Sect, the disciples of the Spirit River Sect all looked towards Bai Xiaochun.

白小纯气愤，可对方人数太多，自己这里只有不到十人，一旦争执，或许他这里不会有事，可其他人必定死亡惨重。

Bai Xiaochun was furious, but the opponent simply had too many people, with his own people numbering less than ten. A fight here might not get him killed, but that wasn’t the same for the other people with him, it’d be a gruesome death count.

“我们走，不就是一个兽潮么，一会师叔带你们再弄一个！”白小纯咬牙，正要离去，可就在这时，雷山遥遥的看了白小纯等人一眼，忽然笑了。

“Let’s leave, it’s just a beast tide, after all. Uncle Bai will make another one for you guys later!” Clenching his teeth, Bai Xiaochun was just about to leave when Lei Shan, who was watching them from afar, started laughing suddenly.

血溪宗人人都凶残，他不愿太过为难，丹溪宗有方林在，他不想招惹，而灵溪宗这里，雷山目光一扫，只看到了一个白小纯，其他人都是寻常之辈，一想到宗门玉简内对白小纯的介绍，雷山目中露出轻蔑。

The people from the Blood River Sect were all vicious, so he didn’t want to force them too much. The Pellet River Sect had Fanglin with them, and so he didn’t want to mess with them either. The Spirit River Sect, however, had only one Bai Xiaochun, while all the others were normal disciples. Recalling the introduction regarding Bai Xiaochun in the sect jade scroll, Lei Shan looked down on him, his scorn reflecting in his eyes.

“灵溪宗的人，走可以，留下你们的道瓶！否则的话，你们一个也别想走！”雷山眼中杀机一闪，灵溪宗众人面色变化，白小纯更是生气了。

“Spirit River Sect disciples, you can go, but the dao bottles stays! Otherwise don’t think that any of you are leaving!” The killing intent in Lei Shan’s eyes shone, and the faces of the Spirit River Sect disciples changed. Bai Xiaochun got angrier.

“抢我煞兽，还要夺我道瓶，你们太欺负人了！”

“You stole my evil beasts, and now you want my dao bottle? Isn’t that a little too much bullying?”

“欺负的就是你们，要怪，就怪你们中没有强者！”雷山冷哼，身体一晃而出，直奔灵溪宗而来，其他玄溪宗弟子，也都狞笑的从四周疾驰靠近。

“That’s what we’re doing. You want to blame something, blame the fact that there’s no strong people in your group!” Snorting coldly, Lei Shan flung his body out, heading straight for the Spirit River Sect. The other Mystic River Sect disciples grinned as they closed in from all sides.

“白师叔！”

“Uncle Bai!”

“我们怎么办，白师叔！”灵溪宗的弟子，一个个焦急时，白小纯眼中出现了血丝，他右手猛的抬起时，手中出现了一枚黑色的丹药，正是吸引煞魂之丹。

“What do we do, Uncle Bai!” Just as the disciples of the Spirit River Sect was worrying, Bai Xiaochun’s eyes reddened. Raising his right hand, he revealed a black pellet in his palm, the pellet that was attracting the beasts.

“等我扔下丹药后，你们……”白小纯红着眼，神色肃然的开口时，他身边的所有灵溪宗弟子，一个个在看到白小纯取出丹药后，全部倒吸口气，面色比之前玄溪宗到来时，更要惊恐，根本就没等白小纯话语说完，齐齐展开了全速，爆发出了超过以往的速度，疾驰后退，就要避开。

“After I throw this pellet down, you guys…” With red eyes, Bai Xiaochun had just started speaking solemnly, when all the disciples around him took a deep breath, upon seeing what he took out, their faces were more shocked and worried than when the Mystic River Sect came. At full speed, all of them exploded away, avoiding it before Bai Xiaochun had even finished his words.

“那是……传说中的发情丹？”

“That’s… The legendary aphrodisiac pellet?”

“天啊，莫非这些煞兽也管用！”

“Oh god, don’t tell me they work on the evil beasts as well!”

“白师叔是神人啊，对煞兽有没有用，只看白师叔想不想了……赶紧走，慢了就危险！”

“Uncle Bai is a godlike figure, whether it works on the beasts or not, that just depends on Uncle Bai’s will… Leave, quickly! It’ll get dangerous if you’re not fast enough!”
