Chapter 233 Climbing
Huan Yin continued to walk up, his speed was very stable, even though he had walked over 150 steps, there was no change.
However, if you have been observing Huan Yin's every move carefully, you can still find that his hands behind his back are clenched very tightly. He is under a lot of pressure now, which is equivalent to a force correction in the middle stage of spiritual wisdom exerting full pressure on him.
If you are in the process of fighting, and a cultivator with a similar level of cultivation casts a spell on you with full force, what will your subconscious behavior be? Of course, hide.
It is precisely because of this instinct to avoid harm that too many cultivators fail at the stage Huan Yin is in now. Because if you want to cross this stage, you must forcibly resist your instinct, take the initiative to accept pressure, and face difficulties.
Huan Yin has naturally surpassed this realm a long time ago. Not to mention that his character is superb, just talking about the battles and fights he has experienced, in those battles, he has too many times known that there may be a life-and-death situation ahead, but he still has the experience of rushing forward. Therefore, the only feeling he has now is that he is under great pressure, but he does not feel that it is difficult. In his heart, this is not difficult.
More and more eyes are fixed on Huanyin, and even many people who failed after falling down the Thousand Steps did not leave. They stood below and stared at Huanyin who was holding his head high on the Thousand Steps.
Of course, it is not only the eyes that noticed Huanyin, but also the divine sense. Most of these divine senses came from the square, but there were also four, which came from the four Ziyin Sect monks who were also climbing the Thousand Steps. Finally, there was another one from the end of the Thousand Steps, inside the Ziyin Sect. It was an extremely powerful divine sense, which was observing Huanyin, observing carefully, and was obviously very interested in Huanyin.
Huanyin did not care about the changes around him. Today, he came to join the Ziyin Sect according to the instructions of Elder Ci Yuanling. His purpose was to become stronger and seek opportunities to avenge Wuliangmen, so all his energy was now focused on the ladder.
Huan Yin took another step, this time from the 199th step to the 200th step. At this moment, the pressure on him increased again, from the middle stage of spiritual wisdom to the peak of the middle stage of spiritual wisdom. Such power is completely equivalent to his current cultivation power.
Huan Yin finally stopped here, and he looked up again, where there were still 800 steps. The power transmitted to him now has reached such a level. It can be imagined that the power he needs to bear on the next 800 steps will be stronger than his current state.
The Thousand Steps Ladder is famous all over the world, and the people of Kyushu can only sigh in despair. The real reason is the last 800 steps. The previous 200 steps, as long as the willpower is strong enough, those are the forces that you can bear, so it is not too difficult to pass. As long as the character is good, or people with many setbacks and strong willpower, it is not difficult to pass this step.
Although the young man had difficulty in the previous 200 steps, he finally climbed up. However, he couldn't hold on after more than 200 steps, because the force he was bearing at that time had exceeded his own limit. If he wanted to go up, he had to constantly break his own limit on this Thousand Steps, whether it was the limit of strength or the limit of psychological endurance.
Huan Yin adjusted his breathing, and clenched his hands behind his back more tightly. Then he took another step and stepped onto the 201st step. At this time, the pressure he was bearing had exceeded his strength. Although the surpassing was small, it was still surpassing.
The discussion in the square was heard immediately: "Look, he stepped over 201 steps, and he didn't even lower his head. Who is he and how can he be so strong?"
"Not to mention that he didn't lower his head, you see his hands are still behind his back. If it weren't for the fact that his hands were clenched a little tightly, I would have thought he was taking a walk on the Thousand Steps." Another person was also surprised and admired Huan Yin very much.
"He is about to surpass the closest Ziyin Sect Immortal Master, who is on the 281st step. If he can maintain this speed, he will definitely be able to do it!"
The changes in the field are not only the increase in discussions. Now, from the end of the Thousand Steps where Huan Yin could not see clearly, a new spiritual consciousness has appeared again, which is also extremely powerful and resides on Huan Yin.
Huan Yin did not stop, he was still walking, his speed remained the same, just walking up step by step, and the pressure on him was gradually increasing, trying to make him surrender.
230th step, 260th step, 290th step, 299th step!
At this moment, the pressure on Huan Yin has reached the level of several peak power cultivators in the middle stage of spiritual wisdom at the same time, but he feels that he can still accept it!
The Ziyin Sect cultivator who was standing on the 281st step before is now standing on the 300th step, just one step higher than Huan Yin. He now feels the existence of Huan Yin behind him, and his heart can't help but be extremely shocked.
His cultivation level in the Ziyin Sect was not high, but if it came to climbing the Thousand Steps, he was definitely not weak. And because he had been training himself on the Thousand Steps for many years, his adaptation to the pressure of the Thousand Steps was beyond that of ordinary people.
However, the more this happened, the more he felt that Huan Yin was simply terrifyingly strong, because he had only taken a total of 19 steps, and Huan Yin had almost crossed 100 steps and caught up with him. This was a situation he had never encountered before. Even if there were many powerful people in the sect, he did not think that they could surpass him in such a terrifying way.
"Ting!" Before the cultivator of Ziyin Sect could react, Huan Yin had already taken the 300th step and stood on the same level with him.
Huan Yin originally thought that the pressure of the 300th step would increase sharply again, entering the level of the late stage of spiritual wisdom. But this was not the case. This time, the increase in pressure did not increase but decreased. Although this degree was extremely slight, Huan Yin still felt it.
Huan Yin quickly understood the way this pressure increased. Because the pressure he was under now had already exceeded the limit of his cultivation, every step in the future, even if it increased by one point, would increase above his limit. At this time, what was tested was his willpower, not his cultivation tolerance, so even if it was less, it was enough to make him have the possibility of being crushed every time. It's like if a person is already carrying a heavy burden that he normally can't bear, but he still carries it with willpower. But if a straw is added to his burden, he may be crushed in an instant.
"Thump!" Huan Yin didn't stop, he continued to move forward and surpassed the Ziyin Sect monk who was still standing on the 300th step.
"He passed, 301st step, he came from behind and surpassed the Ziyin Sect's immortal master!" A mortal pointed at Huan Yin and shouted excitedly, as if he had surpassed the Ziyin Sect's immortal master.
"Incredible, incredible, can I witness him crossing the Thousand Steps and joining the Ziyin Sect today?" Another person also looked at Huan Yin with disbelief, he felt that Huan Yin was already qualified to join the Ziyin Sect.
"Thump, thump, thump!" Huan Yin's footsteps had begun to become very heavy, even standing in the square, he could vaguely hear the sound of his feet on the ground. But his hands were still behind his back. Although they were clenched very tightly, they still did not loosen, and they did not touch the ground once.
Finally, when he reached the 370th step, the pressure on him had reached the level of nearly 20 peak strength cultivators in the middle stage of Linghui, so his hands could no longer be kept behind his back and loosened.
However, his back was still straight, his head was still high, but his hands were clenched tightly, as if this could increase his strength, no, it was to strengthen his willpower.
At this moment, the three Ziyin Sect cultivators in front of Huanyin had stopped. They all looked at Huanyin with shock. They had a premonition in their hearts that they might have one more fellow disciple today.
380th step, 390th step, 400th step!
Huanyin continued to walk, and he once again entered a new stage. This time, the pressure transmitted to him finally produced a qualitative change, reaching the realm of the late stage of Linghui. Although this was only the initial power of the late stage of Linghui, it had truly surpassed Huanyin. If Huan Yin meets a cultivator of this realm now, he may not be able to fight without any means.
There is a huge gap in the cultivation of each realm, which is a fact that all cultivators and even ordinary people in Yuzhou are fully aware of. Therefore, when cultivators above the ninth level meet an existence whose cultivation exceeds their own, they will subconsciously choose to avoid it, because they will have something called fear in their hearts.
However, Huan Yin is not one of the nine-level nine. Since he started practicing Taoism at a young age, Huan Yin's cultivation progress has always been extremely slow because of his poor qualifications. In the initial martial arts competition for newcomers, he defeated Liu Deshun with the first level of Qi Condensation, which was the first time he defeated the strong with the weak. Since then, there has been little fear in his heart. Unless he encounters an opponent with a very obvious gap, he will choose to fight. If it comes to the critical moment, he will even do something that seems like a moth flying into the fire. There have been too many such flashes of light in his life, so he has always been invincible among cultivators of the same level, and his opponents have always been stronger than him.
Huan Yin frowned slightly, and this time, his speed finally slowed down a bit, but his footsteps did not stop!
