With each step they took, there seemed to be an invisible barrier in front of them, pushing them backward.
This immense repulsive force not only affected their physical bodies but also exerted a great deal of pressure on their minds.
“What’s going on?”
“I don’t know either…”
“I feel that with each step I take, it’s as if someone is pushing me back!”
“Me too.”
Many martial artists from Qingzhou looked at each other in confusion, not understanding what was happening.
However, the martial artists from other states looked at them with disdain, as if they were country bumpkins, and didn’t bother to pay attention to the martial artists from Qingzhou.
Wen Tianya!
It tested all aspects of a martial artist. It tested their physical strength, their spiritual energy, and the firmness of their will.
And the resistance formed by this test required them to break through it.
As for how far they could break through, it all depended on their individual abilities.
At this moment, Xu Ziqian had already climbed over a hundred steps.
After walking a hundred steps, his speed slowed down a bit, and he wasn’t as relaxed as he was at the beginning.
There were a total of nine hundred and ninety-nine steps. These first hundred steps had already shown the gap among the more than two hundred people.
Xu Ziqian was the fastest. On the few steps behind him, the big guy beside him also followed with a steady breath.
Next were Liang Sierui, Xie Xinxin, Chao Tianque, Ke Liangjing, Yuan Tianzong, Wen Zhen, as well as Jiang Haokong and Jiang Ziyan, these Tianjiao figures.
These people had also reached the position of over eighty steps.
Then came Qin Muyu, Li Wenqing, Li Bufan, and Qiu Zhiyan, who were at the position of over sixty steps.
Most of the others were still at the position of over fifty steps.
Ye Wushuang was still on the tenth step at the moment.
He stood on the tenth step, and it took him a while to step onto the eleventh step.
This speed was incredibly slow and puzzling.
Qin Muyu and Li Wenqing stood still on their respective steps. When they saw that Ye Wushuang was still at the initial position, they exchanged a surprised look.
“What’s wrong with Junior Brother Ye?”
“I don’t know…” Li Wenqing was also extremely astonished.
By now, they had already experienced it.
There was a repulsive force on this mountain body that pushed them backward. With their abilities, they could easily reach the position of over sixty steps. Ye Wushuang should be even faster!
Not to mention reaching the same height as Xu Ziqian, at least he should be on par with Ke Liangjing and Chao Tianque!
At this moment, Ke Liangjing, who was on the step of over eighty, casually turned around and took a look.
When Ke Liangjing saw that among the Tianjiao beside him were only Liang Sierui, Xie Xinxin, and the others, and Ye Wushuang was nowhere to be seen, he was stunned.
And when he saw that Ye Wushuang was still at the position of over ten steps, he was even more surprised.
“Hmph!” Ke Liangjing snorted, “I thought you would keep showing off like that!”
Yuan Tianzong was also at a similar height as Ke Liangjing at this time. When he saw that Ye Wushuang was at the back, Yuan Tianzong was also taken aback.
“What on earth is this kid Ye Wushuang up to…”
Beside him, Wen Zhen said, “Maybe he’s not as strong as we thought.”
Could that be true?
Yuan Tianzong didn’t believe it.
Wen Zhen continued, “Only by reaching the peak can we get the best rewards. Don’t think about others.”
“Alright.”
This was destined to be a strenuous climbing competition.
Only those who could reach the finish line could gain something.
Everyone continued to climb.
Xu Ziqian was still in the lead.
Soon, he reached the position of over three hundred steps.
Behind him were still Liang Sierui, Xie Xinxin, Chao Tianque, and the others, who were at the position of two hundred and seventy or eighty steps.
Further behind were Li Bufan, Qin Muyu, and the others, who were at the position of two hundred steps.
As for the others, they were still at the position of over a hundred steps.
The higher they climbed, the greater the pressure became. Many people were already out of breath and sweating profusely.
And Ye Wushuang…
At this time, he finally took another step and reached the position of the thirtieth step.
No one knew why Ye Wushuang was so slow.
Everyone could only focus on themselves.
But at this moment, Ye Wushuang stood on the stone steps. His spiritual energy surged within his body and transformed into the power of Myriad Laws, filling his seven meridians and eight channels.
At the same time.
The Tianyin Luo was tightly held in his hand, and a faint sound of the wind whistled beside him.
He was cultivating!
Ever since he stepped onto the stone steps, Ye Wushuang had felt a repulsive force.
But this repulsive force wasn’t just aimlessly pushing his body.
When he resisted this repulsive force with his physical body, he could clearly feel a force surging into his body.
Although using the pure spiritual energy of his physical body to resist that repulsive force made his body ache faintly, Ye Wushuang gradually discovered that under this resistance, his physical body and the spiritual energy within his body became more and more active.
And when the spiritual energy became more active, he could take this opportunity to transform the power of Myriad Laws and promote the fusion of the wind attribute within the Heavenly Spirit Snail with his own power of Myriad Laws.
Moreover, due to the external repulsive force, this fusion happened at an extremely fast speed.
That’s why Ye Wushuang was walking so slowly!
By borrowing the repulsive force, he could accelerate the fusion of himself with the wind attribute and at the same time offset the oppression of the repulsive force.
It was a two birds with one stone situation!
The more he understood this, the less anxious Ye Wushuang became.
He knew that as the height increased, everyone’s speed would slow down. He wasn’t in a hurry. There were people who would reach the top first.
Step by step, perhaps when he reached the peak of the mountain, he would be able to successfully fuse with the wind attribute, and maybe even… break through his cultivation realm!
Thus, on the mountain body, everyone continued to move forward.
When Xu Ziqian’s figure reached the height of nine hundred steps, he was only ninety-nine steps away from reaching the peak.
But at this moment…
That terrifying pressure made Xu Ziqian’s pretty face turn pale, and there were sweat droplets on his face and neck.
Wu Jun, the burly man behind him, was also standing on the eight hundred and ninetieth step, gasping for breath and clenching his fists.
And Liang Sierui, Xie Xinxin, Chao Tianque, Ke Liangjing, and the others were all at the height of eight hundred and eighty to ninety steps, sweating all over and breathing rapidly.
As for Li Bufan, Qin Muyu, Qiu Zhiyan, and Li Wenqing, they had just reached the eight-hundredth step.
For these nine hundred and ninety steps, the pressure increased several times every hundred steps.
The few people who had reached the eight-hundredth step were in a sorry state at the moment. They were gripping their weapons tightly with both hands and looking at the Tianjiao from other states above them, only able to smile bitterly in their hearts.
The gap was vividly shown at this moment.
The four of them had already left the others far behind.
But Liang Sierui, Xie Xinxin, and the others had left the four of them behind.
And at this time.
Xu Ziqian at the front had reached the nine-hundredth step and started moving forward again.
But at this point, Xu Ziqian’s steps were also very slow. It took him a long time to take one step and he needed to rest for a while.
The last ninety-nine steps were the most difficult to walk.
Liang Sierui, Xie Xinxin, Chao Tianque, Ke Liangjing, Yuan Tianzong, Wen Zhen, Jiang Haokong, Jiang Ziyan, and Wu Jun beside Xu Ziqian, these nine people had also reached the height of nine hundred steps one by one.
But as soon as they reached the height of nine hundred steps, the nine of them all had ugly expressions on their faces.
The oppressive feeling had increased by more than ten times.
No wonder Xu Ziqian at the front had also slowed down so much.
Under this multiplied oppressive force, the few of them didn’t have the confidence to hold on until the end.
“This Xu Ziqian is really something…” A voice full of helplessness sounded, panting, “The pressure after the nine-hundredth step is a hundred times that of the first hundred steps. How can he still keep going!”
“Yuan Tianzong, you can’t envy him!” Ke Liangjing looked at the person who had spoken and also panted, “He’s from Tiandao Palace. Your Qiyao Pavilion in Jieyuan State can’t compare.”
“I can’t compare, but you can’t either!”
“You…”
Ke Liangjing snorted. Then, as if he had thought of something, he couldn’t help but laugh, “You’re really good at currying favor. When you saw that Ye Wushuang was quite strong, you took the initiative to ingratiate yourself with him. But now, where is the person you wanted to curry favor with?”
At this moment, these Tianjiao all stopped to catch their breath. When they heard this, they couldn’t help but look behind them.
At the height of eight hundred steps below, there were only a few people.
Looking further down, there were more than two hundred people, most of whom were still at the height of two or three hundred steps and simply didn’t have the strength to follow up.
As for Ye Wushuang… he really couldn’t be seen anywhere.
“That guy, I think he’s probably given up.” Ke Liangjing sneered, “Yuan Tianzong, it seems that your attempt to curry favor was in vain. That guy isn’t really a Tianjiao prodigy!”
Upon hearing this, Yuan Tianzong snorted. Just as he was about to speak.
The several Tianjiao who had been listening to the two of them sneering at each other looked at the lower part in surprise.
“Ke Liangjing, I’m afraid that Ye Wushuang you mentioned… hasn’t given up!” Beside him, Chao Tianque murmured.
Yuan Tianzong and Ke Liangjing both turned around and looked down…
