Chapter 1758 Take a Break
After doing all this, Qingyang ended his retreat, removed the formation restrictions outside, and headed towards Jietian Peak. Fuliu Ghost King still looked relatively young. Qingyang deliberately operated the Yin-Yang Mysterious Art to transform his true essence into the Nether Yuan. From a distance, he looked like a cool ghost cultivator with profound strength.
There were not many people at the top of the eighth level of the Nascent Soul in the entire Wanling Secret Realm. The remaining low-level cultivators looked at Qingyang who suddenly appeared with shock. They did not expect that there was another master who was late. This person was so unfamiliar, and it was unknown which super sect in the spiritual world he was the pride of. Whether in terms of strength or the background behind him, they were not people they could provoke.
Others hurriedly made way and saw Qingyang step into the range of Jietian Peak. Just like other cultivators, after entering, a huge pressure was exerted on him. This pressure was everywhere and extremely powerful, and it almost made Qingyang breathless.
Although Qingyang's overall strength is comparable to that of a ninth-level Nascent Soul cultivator, his true cultivation level is only the fifth-level Nascent Soul after all, so he has to work harder than others when facing this pressure. However, his adjusted cultivation level is the peak of the eighth-level Nascent Soul, and he must pretend to be able to deal with it easily, so as not to be discovered by others. The difficulty can be imagined. If Qingyang did not have a spiritual treasure-level defensive spiritual armor on him to share some of the pressure for him, Qingyang might not be able to cope with it.
Every step Qingyang took was extremely difficult, and the higher he went, the greater the pressure. He didn't know how much effort it would take to climb this ten-thousand-foot mountain. Qingyang was really worried that he would give up halfway. However, when he looked up at the mountain, others were struggling to climb towards the top of the mountain. The fastest had reached a height of hundreds of feet. Qingyang did not dare to delay any more time, and gritted his teeth and continued to climb the mountain.
Qingyang raised his feet and climbed up with difficulty, one step, two steps, three steps...
The huge pressure made him gasp for breath, one zhang, two zhang, three zhang...
Bean-sized beads of sweat flowed down his neck, ten zhang, twenty zhang, thirty zhang...
Mist was steaming above his head, and the blood in his body was churning, one hundred zhang, two hundred zhang, three hundred zhang...
Qingyang gritted his teeth and persisted, gradually reaching a height of a thousand zhang. During this period, he did not dare to look up, because he was worried that he would feel despair when he looked up and saw the unreachable peak, and the breath he had finally raised would be lost, and he might really give up.
The height of a thousand feet is a threshold, because not all cultivators have this strength, not all cultivators can withstand such great pressure, and not all cultivators have the perseverance to persist. Some cultivators who are not good enough in cultivation and preparation, or who are not strong enough to persist, are gradually left behind. Some people even turn around and walk down the mountain. Qingyang was originally one of the last few to climb the Jietian Peak, but now he has ranked more than 400 people, and at least more than 300 people have been left behind. In other words, this short distance of a thousand feet has eliminated nearly half of the cultivators.
After a thousand feet, the pressure exerted by the Jietian Peak is even greater. Qingyang can't bear it. His waist sank down suddenly, and his whole body almost fell to the ground, but he still persisted, gritted his teeth and stood up straight, step by step, stubbornly walking towards the top of the mountain.
Qingyang may not be good in other aspects, but he is definitely not inferior to any cultivator in perseverance and endurance. This is also the helplessness of the cultivators in the small world. Because of the scarcity of resources, it is more difficult for the cultivators in the small world to practice. They need better qualifications, stronger perseverance, more mature minds, richer experience and more smooth luck. Compared with the cultivators in the spiritual world, they may not have many treasures and means, and their comprehensive strength is a little worse, but they are definitely not bad in other aspects.
Qingyang can practice this step not only because of the mysterious Drunken Immortal Gourd and the luck against the sky, but also because of his extremely excellent conditions in other aspects, such as excellent alchemy talent, excellent nine spiritual root qualifications, tenacious perseverance, etc., so some cultivators in the spiritual world may not be able to withstand such a strong pressure on the Jietian Peak, but Qingyang will never be scared.
After more than a thousand feet, climbing becomes more difficult. Qingyang needs to make a lot of preparations for each step, and it takes a lot of time to walk one foot. It is good to walk four or five hundred feet in an hour. However, Qingyang was not intimidated by this difficulty. He adjusted his mentality, planned his steps, calculated the use of his true energy, and did not seek speed, but only seek stability. Every step he took was extremely steady.
Soon a day passed, and Qingyang had reached the height of 5,000 feet on the Jietian Peak. At this time, there were only about 200 cultivators in front of him, that is, in this distance of 4,000 feet, half of them were eliminated or fell behind Qingyang.
Among these 200 people, the two or three Yuanying ninth-level minor success cultivators were walking in the front, followed by more than 20 Yuanying eighth-level peak cultivators, and behind them were more than 100 Yuanying eighth-level great success cultivators. There were only a few Yuanying eighth-level minor success cultivators who could walk in front of Qingyang.
As for Yu Yangzi, he was ranked about 40th at this time, and it seemed that he had some real skills, but the two people he brought did not have this ability, and they had already retreated to the foot of the mountain.
Qingyang had almost reached his limit after persisting until now. There was little true energy left in his body, and his muscles and bones were extremely sore, as if they were crushed inch by inch. It was extremely difficult to move. Qingyang really couldn't hold on any longer, and planned to be lazy. Seeing that everyone was focusing on climbing the mountain, he took advantage of others' inattention and flashed into the Zuixian Gourd space.
At this time, everyone was busy with their own affairs, so who would release their divine consciousness to observe others? Except for the top few cultivators who were very powerful and had the energy to occasionally pay attention to other cultivators, the cultivators behind were struggling to resist the pressure from Jietian Peak, and no one noticed that there was one less person on the mountain road.
After entering the Zuixian Gourd, all the pressure disappeared, and Qingyang fell to the ground with a limp. He didn't want to get up for a long time, but he knew that time was running out, so he could only force himself to sit on the ground, then took out a few pills to replenish his physical strength and true essence, and began to meditate to recover. In order to speed up, he also took out a high-quality spirit stone and held it in his hand, hoping to speed up the recovery.
An hour later, Qingyang's true energy had recovered about 70% to 80%, and the aches and pains in his body had disappeared. So he released his spiritual thoughts to observe the situation outside, and found the right moment to escape from the Drunken Immortal Gourd. The huge pressure was put on Qingyang again, but he had just rested at this time, and his condition was much better than others. It was not difficult for him to resist the pressure, so he walked towards the top of the mountain. During this period, no one noticed Qingyang's abnormality.
