Chapter 1759: Some People Reach the Top While Others Are Eliminated
The pressure from the top of the Jietian Peak to the top of the mountain increased by several times compared to the foot of the mountain. However, Qingyang had already adapted to this environment. He had just rested in the Drunken Immortal Gourd, so his physical strength and true essence were sufficient. Although he was walking slowly, he walked steadily with every step.
Six thousand feet, seven thousand feet, eight thousand feet, another day passed. Qingyang walked up three thousand feet in one breath. At this distance, there were less than a hundred people in front of Qingyang. The rest were almost all outstanding. Most of the Nascent Soul Eighth Level Great Perfection cultivators had been eliminated.
Of course, there were still a few people behind Qingyang who slowed down due to lack of physical strength. They were not completely desperate and felt that they might succeed if they tried hard. Most of them had no hope of reaching the top and simply gave up. They did not prepare the inner elixir of the Nascent Soul Perfection Demonic Beast. Even if they went up, they would just watch the fun. Where can't they watch the fun? Why do they have to reach the top?
After climbing three thousand feet in a row, Qingyang's newly recovered strength and true energy were almost exhausted. The huge pressure made him unable to straighten his back. His bones and muscles creaked, and he looked completely overloaded. However, this time Qingyang did not dare to hide in the Drunken Immortal Gourd to rest, because there were several cultivators in front and behind him, and the distance between them was too close. Moreover, the strength of these cultivators was getting higher and higher. If he was careful, he might reveal his cards. It was better to be cautious.
At the same time, Qingyang also wanted to test his own limits. With his current strength and perseverance, could he reach the top of the mountain? Moreover, he had rested at five thousand feet, and he was more advantageous than others. If he couldn't beat others like this, it would be a bit unreasonable. Thinking of this, Qingyang stopped, took out the pill from the Qiankun pot with difficulty, and took it. He also found two high-grade spirit stones and held them in his hands to replenish his true energy. Then he gritted his teeth and continued to head towards the top of the mountain.
At an altitude of 8,000 feet, the pressure on the mountain road was even greater. However, after such a long period of adaptation, Qingyang gradually mastered some tricks. As long as he moved forward steadily at his own pace, he could still barely hold on. The huge pressure was imposed on him. In addition to the part offset by the Green Lotus Armor, the rest required Qingyang to constantly circulate his true essence to resist. The greater the pressure from the outside world, the faster the true essence in the body circulated and the faster it was consumed. However, with the top-grade spirit stones and elixirs to replenish at the same time, Qingyang's true essence would not be exhausted for the time being.
Others were different. Although they also had such means, they did not have Qingyang's Drunken Immortal Gourd and had not rested in the middle, so they began to use various means as early as 5,000 or 6,000 feet. At this time, those means had failed, and the true essence gradually became weak. Some people really had no other way to persist, so they could only sigh secretly and give up climbing the Jietian Peak.
Although Qingyang's climbing speed was slow, it remained constant. From time to time, people were surpassed by him, and his ranking gradually improved. In less than a day, dozens of people were left behind him. Seeing that the distance to the top of the peak was less than a thousand feet, Qingyang finally came behind Yuyangzi.
Yuyangzi is indeed an important figure from the Fairy Tour Pavilion of the Spirit Realm. Although he has only the eighth level of the Nascent Soul, his strength should not be underestimated. He has always maintained a ranking of more than 40. Few cultivators of the same level can surpass him. It is estimated that he was holding his breath and wanted to see who took away his demon beast inner pill. If the things are not lost, he should have a great chance of entering the Guanxian Cave.
Yu Yangzi was climbing up with his head down when he suddenly felt someone trying to surpass him. After climbing to this point in Jietian Peak, the team rankings were basically fixed. It had been a long time since anyone could surpass Yu Yangzi, so Yu Yangzi was very curious and turned his head to look. When he saw that it was a ghost cultivator at the peak of the eighth level of the Nascent Soul, he suddenly realized that the other party's cultivation was higher than his, so it was normal for him to surpass him. He probably came too late. To have such strength, he must be from a big sect or super power in the spirit world. But why did he look so unfamiliar?
Just when Yu Yangzi was puzzled, Qingyang had already surpassed him and continued to head towards the top of the peak. At this time, Qingyang was only a few hundred feet away from the top of Jietian Peak. As long as he raised his head, he could see the rays of light released from above. Among them, the three cultivators walking in the front had reached the final moment. Climbing to the top of the peak was just a matter of the last few steps. It seemed that the rumors were true. To climb Jietian Peak, one must have the strength equivalent to the ninth level of the Nascent Soul. The three people in the front were already ninth-level Nascent Soul cultivators, and they were all the pride of heaven from all over the spiritual world. Their real strength exceeded their own cultivation by a large margin, so it was naturally not difficult for them to climb Jietian Peak.
Seeing that they could reach the top by taking the last few steps, at this moment, the three people suddenly stayed there, and there was no movement for a long time. From their expressions, it seemed that they had encountered some problems.
Qingyang didn't know what else he had to go through to climb Jietian Peak, but from all the signs, he guessed that these people should have encountered some tests, which were probably similar to those that Qingyang and others had experienced in the Heart-Questioning Valley. It seemed that the top of Jietian Peak was not simple, and not everyone could climb it if they wanted to.
The three people in the front were indeed very powerful. This situation did not last too long. After only half an hour, they regained their ability to move. It seemed that they had passed the last test. Then they took a few quick steps, climbed to the top of Jie Tian Peak, and disappeared from everyone's sight.
The three of them successfully passed the test and reached the top of the mountain, which immediately inspired the monks below, so they all cheered up and walked towards the top of the mountain. After surpassing Yu Yangzi, Qingyang did not continue to surpass others, but maintained the same speed as others. Although Qingyang rested in the Drunken Immortal Gourd when he was five thousand feet, by this time, his advantage had been almost consumed. It was very difficult to surpass others. Anyway, there were only a few hundred feet left. It seemed that there was no difference between a little earlier and a little later. It was better to be steady and ensure that he could reach the top smoothly in the end.
After the first three monks reached the top, several Yuanying eighth-level peak monks climbed the last few steps one after another, and then stood there, experiencing the last test of climbing Jietian Peak. After half an hour, some people passed the test first and successfully climbed Jietian Peak, but some people suddenly screamed, fell to the ground, and then rolled down the mountain uncontrollably. Everyone could see that this person was probably eliminated because he failed the test.
From this, it can be seen that the test of Jie Tian Peak is still quite difficult. It is not certain that you will pass it just by reaching the top. Even the cultivators at the top of the eighth level of the Nascent Soul Stage were eliminated, which shows how difficult it is.
