Standing on the second step, Lin Yi felt it carefully. The repulsive force was getting more and more obvious. It was about twice as strong as the first step. Although it was still very weak, this trend made his expression change slightly.
If the repulsive force doubled with every step they ascended, it would be very difficult to complete this flight of stairs.
Although Lin Yi could not see the situation above with his divine sense, he could still see the number of steps. There were not many, only 18!
But if it was really as he guessed, the repulsive force would be 130,000 times stronger than the first step at the last step. The first step was indeed weak, but Lin Yi could feel it. It was a force that could not be ignored.
How terrifyingly powerful would it be after being strengthened by 130,000 times? Lin Yi knew that it would be difficult for him to resist such a repulsive force.
Li Zaoyi's expression did not look too good. Her thoughts were the same as Lin Yi's. Even Lin Yi could not resist it, let alone her. And the best way to verify the conjecture was to continue forward!
The two did not need to speak. They stepped onto the third step almost at the same time. Langouzha was waiting for them. He was the first to come up, but he did not think about the problem that Lin Yi and Li Zaoyi had guessed. He looked at the two calmly.
"As expected!" Lin Yi looked at Li Zaoyi with a serious expression.
Li Zaoyi nodded and looked up at the remaining fifteen steps in front of her. She sighed softly and said, "Each increase is double the previous step. Based on my current strength, I'm afraid I can only last until level eleven or twelve. There's no way I can go any higher."
"If this is really the calculation, I am afraid I can't pass it. And if I am not wrong, this step can only be walked up. Other methods are useless." Lin Yi smiled faintly. He spread his Ghostly Speed Wings behind him and tried to fly over. Unfortunately, he could not even leave the ground.
The Ghostly Speed Wings were ineffective, and so was the Lightning Escape. It was not that he could not use it at all, but after using it, he could only go up one step at most. He had to stay on that step and withstand the repulsive force before he could continue.
After trying, Lin Yi stood on the fifth step and said, "Let's go. We have to try no matter what. The owner of the ruins will not set up meaningless obstacles. The previous two were tests, and this one may still be a test. As long as it is a test, there must be a way to pass."
"Boss is right. Although I do not know what you mean, if there is anything, just let me go in front!" Languzha laughed out loud and stretched his long legs. He stomped up another three levels consecutively. His physical body was extremely tough, and the repulsive force on each step did not affect him at all.
Li Zaoyi smiled faintly and followed. Although the repulsive force was increasing, her posture was still as beautiful as a fairy. Lin Yi looked at her and could not help but admire her in his heart.
Zheng Dongjue and Li Zaoyi saw that there seemed to be no danger, so they followed. The steps in front were nothing, and they were also very relaxed. This path was more terrifying the further one went, and those who could pass twelve or thirteen steps were considered very powerful.
Lin Yi did not care about the two annoying guys behind him and walked side by side with Li Zaoyi. Soon, they arrived at the seventh step. The law of the increased repulsive force did not change, but he found that there was a faint repulsive force on the spirit. This was a force that directly affected the spirit, and it was completely different from the previous repulsive force.
"There's a change!" Lin Yi and Li Zaoyi whispered almost at the same time. The two looked at each other and smiled. They were not surprised but happy.
If there was no change, they would definitely not be able to resist the increased repulsive force in the end. Now that there was a change, although the situation seemed to be worse, maybe this was where the turning point was?
Because of the additional repulsive force on the spirit, Lin Yi and Li Zaoyi naturally used the power of their divine senses to protect their spirit. In an instant, the force on the spirit almost disappeared, and the original repulsive force on the body was greatly reduced.
Their eyes lit up at the same time. Sure enough, the change brought about a turning point. While using their divine senses to resist the repulsive force on the spirit, they could also greatly reduce the repulsive force on the body. The possibility of passing this step was greatly increased.
"I understand. The most important part of this test is the spirit. As long as the spirit is strong enough, you can pass this step!" Lin Yi turned to look at Li Zaoyi with a faint smile on his face.
"That's most likely the case, and I'm guessing that this ruin is the inheritance left behind by the ancient elixir refiner. I heard that the ancient elixir refinement had a very high requirement on the strength of the spirit, so it's very normal to have this kind of test." Li Zaoyi showed a rare smile, agreeing with Lin Yi's idea.
Zhang Liju's inheritance of elixir refinement had high requirements for the soul, and Li Zaoyi's soul strength matched her own strength level. Within Sky class island, one's soul could be considered one of the strongest existences, and so it was easy for her to understand what Zhang Liju meant.
As for Lin Yi, there was no need to talk about it. He had already seen the other branch of elixir refinement in the Ancient Jianghu, and he had the refiner flame of the spirit. Naturally, he understood the strength of the two types of elixir refinement merging into one.
"You're right. Let's continue. Since we understand this, it should be very easy to pass the next test." Lin Yi smiled and continued walking with Li Zaoyi. With the help of the spirit, the first sixteen and seventeen steps weren't a problem anymore. The only thing they had to worry about was whether or not they could handle the last step.
As for Langouzha, Lin Yi wasn't worried. This guy wasn't an elixir refiner, but his body was extremely strong. Even Lin Yi couldn't compare to him. In terms of spirit, the sea beast kings of the Ancient Jianghu weren't weak either, and Langouzha was a mutated sea dragon. After this period of growth, his spirit was only slightly weaker than Lin Yi's.
Zheng Dongjue and Zheng Tianqing already felt some pressure behind them, especially after they stepped onto the seventh step. The repulsive force against their primordial spirits made it difficult for them to move an inch. The two of them did not have the habit of cultivating their primordial spirits, so it was already very good that they were able to persist and not be pushed off the seventh step, even though the force on this step was actually not that great.
