Xia Ruofei suddenly felt his head buzzing as a huge wave of Spiritual Energy pressure hit him in the face. Fortunately, he was already mentally prepared, so he was only slightly stunned. Soon, he resisted it with his powerful Spiritual Energy.
At the same time, there was also a strong compression force and an invisible force that stirred his Primordial Qi.
The 200th step was indeed another hurdle. Whether it was the mental strength or the external compression, it was obviously much stronger than the 199 step. The increase was far greater than the previous steps.
Xia Ruofei felt that the external compression force should be more than 100 times his own weight.
It was equivalent to him enduring ten to twenty thousand kilograms of pressure at any time, and it was coming from all directions at the same time. There was no place on his body to hide.
The threat of the invisible force was even greater. The moment Xia Ruofei stepped on the 200th step, the Primordial Qi in his body seemed to be boiling and vibrating violently.
Fortunately, Xia Ruofei was prepared. The Tao Formula was activated immediately. After about two circulations, his Primordial Qi began to slowly calm down.
The external compression force, with his Primordial Qi all over his body, was a little uncomfortable, but it was not to the extent that he could not hold on.
In this way, Xia Ruofei quickly stood firmly on the 200th step.
…
In the secret space filled with dense purple Qi, Spiritual Master Shanhe looked relaxed, but in fact, he was secretly clenching his fists.
When he saw Xia Ruofei standing firmly on the 200th step, he could not help but secretly praise him in his heart. There was even a smile in the corner of his eyes.
"Congratulations, Brother Shanhe!" Taoist Master Qing Xuan was also gratified. "You have taken in a good disciple!"
"Thank you, Brother Qing Xuan!" Spiritual Master Shanhe cupped his hands and said, "Speaking of which, I haven't taught him for a day. I don't deserve to be his teacher!"
"Brother Shanhe, you are too modest!" Taoist Master Qing Xuan said with a smile, "Who in the world doesn't know about a treasure like the Shanhe Spiritual Map? You even left such a treasure to him, and those cultivation resources, including some precious inheritance. Except for not teaching him personally, you are more qualified than most teachers! "
Spiritual Master Shanhe said with a smile, "Actually, I want to teach him well. But now the situation has collapsed to this point … But this child really didn't disappoint me. Whether it is talent or perseverance, he is the best! If there is a chance, I will definitely take him with me and teach him well for a period of time! "
Taoist Master Qing Xuan was silent for a moment and said, "There will be a chance! This child is indeed talented, I believe that you will be together soon! "
"Brother Qing Xuan," Spiritual Master Shanhe said with a smile.
Taoist Master Qing Xuan said said, "Brother Shanhe, now, your disciple has successfully bought has passed the threshold! You should be able to relax a little, right? Why don't we make a bet? "
"A bet?" Zhenren Shanhe asked curiously, "Brother Qing Xuan, what do you want to bet?"
"Let's bet on how many steps this child can reach!" Daoist Qing Xuan laughed and said, "I've been eyeing Brother Shan He's Azure Gourd for a long time … How about it? Do you dare to make a bet? "
Taoist "" "" Brother Taoist Brother Taoist "Qing.......... You actually have your eyes on my Azure Gourd … "
"Of course, I will take out a bet of equal value!" Taoist Master Qing Xuan said with a smile, "Brother Shanhe, you know my treasures very well. You can tell me which one you like! As long as you win the bet, you can take it away! "
Taoist Master Shanhe pondered for a moment and said, "If I remember correctly, Brother Qing Xuan should have a bottle of Nascent Condensation Pills …"
Taoist Master Qing Xuan could not help but be slightly stunned when he heard that. He immediately reacted and said with a smile, "It seems that Brother Shanhe really cares about your disciple! He has just broken through to the Middle-stage of Golden Core, right? You have already begun to prepare for him to condense his Nascent Soul! "
Taoist Master Shanhe said with a smile, "This child cultivates the Dao Formula. The quality of his Golden Core is much better than that of ordinary cultivators, and his development potential is also very great. However, when condensing his Nascent Soul, the bottleneck will be extremely difficult to break through, and if he is not careful, his life will be in danger. If he has a bottle of Nascent Condensation Pills, it will be much safer, and the success rate of condensing his Nascent Soul will be greatly increased. "
Taoist Master Qing Xuan pondered for a moment and said straightforwardly, "No problem! Since Brother Shanhe has spoken, I will give this bottle of Nascent Condensation Pills regardless of whether Brother Shanhe wins the bet or not! Take it as a meeting gift for this child! "
Taoist Master Shanhe quickly waved his hand and said, "There is no need for that. Let's have a normal bet. If Brother Qing Xuan wins, I will naturally hand over the Azure-Green Gourd with both hands. If I win by luck, you only need to give me a bottle of Nascent Condensation Pills!"
Taoist Master Qing Xuan shook his head and said with a smile, "The stakes are not equal. I can't take advantage of this! Just do as I say! If Brother Mountain River wins, the Nascent Condensation Pill will be Xia Ruofei's. But if this Poor Daoist wins by a fluke … Give me your Azure Gourd, and I'll give this Nascent Condensation Pill to that little child as a meeting gift for my martial nephew! "
Taoist Master Shanhe could not refuse, so he could only say, "Thank you, Brother Qing Xuan."
"Haha!" Taoist Master Qing Xuan said, "Then let's have a bet! Let me guess … I think this child should be able to persevere until about the 450th step! "
Taoist Master Shanhe raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "It seems that Brother Qing Xuan has a lot of confidence in my disciple! The 450th step is already close to the best record of the Stairway to Heaven! "
Taoist Master Qing Xuan was the guard of the Tower of Trials, so he naturally knew about these records. He said with a smile, "The record of the Stairway to Heaven is 478 steps!"
If Xia Ruofei was here, he would be very surprised. The best record was 478 steps? That meant that until today, no one had been able to complete the Stairway to Heaven! In other words, no one had ever reached the top of the Tower of Trials!
Xia Ruofei could already tell that the Tower of Trials was to select talents, so he thought that in the past, many people would be able to reach the top.
He did not know that the Tower of Trials was indeed to select talents, but as long as one could pass the 200th step of the Obsidian Stairway to Heaven, they would pass.
This wasn't very accurate, because the two hundred steps was a very big dividing line. Those who could pass this hurdle could be said to be as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns.
Even Ling Qingxue, whose spiritual power had far surpassed her True Qi cultivation base due to her fortuitous encounter, was eliminated after reaching the 170th floor.
Therefore, it was actually very difficult to reach the 200th step.
However, Xia Ruofei seemed to have an easier time. In addition, he practiced the Dao Formula and had shown many valuable qualities. Therefore, Taoist Master Qing Xuan still thought highly of Xia Ruofei, which was why he guessed the 450th step.
Taoist Master Shanhe thought for a while and said with a smile, "Even Brother Qing Xuan thinks so highly of this child. As his master, I can't underestimate him! I'll guess the 480th step! Regardless of whether he can do it or not, as his master, I still hope that he can break this record that has been sealed for hundreds of years! "
Taoist Master Qing Xuan gave him a thumbs up and said with a smile, "Brother Shanhe is so bold! I don't even dare to think that someone can break the record of the Stairway to Heaven … Brother Shanhe, it's a deal! In the end, whoever guesses the closest to the real result will win. What do you think? "
"Very well, it's settled then!" Taoist Master Shanhe nodded and said.
…
Xia Ruofei did not know that there would be a big bet on him. He rested for a while at the 200th step. When he felt that he was in good condition, he was ready to continue.
Although the pressure was already very scary, Xia Ruofei still had some strength left, so he felt that the pressure was far from his limit.
In fact, as long as one stood on the Stairway to Heaven, they would be under the huge pressure all the time. Therefore, in theory, it was best to pass through quickly so that the time spent on the Stairway to Heaven could be reduced. However, because of the invisible force that stirred the Primordial Qi, cultivators could not rush forward quickly on the Stairway to Heaven with their strong physical bodies. They could only stop after every step and try their best to stabilize the Primordial Qi.
This was a test of a cultivator's sense of rhythm when breaking through.
Xia Ruofei was one of those who had good control of the rhythm. Except for the first few dozen steps, he was basically steady and did not rush at all. At the same time, he did not rest too much. Basically, as long as his body was in good condition, he would immediately go to the next step. This objectively reduced the time he spent on the Stairway to Heaven.
Although the pressure suddenly increased when he went from level 199 to level 200, Xia Ruofei was already mentally prepared. Moreover, it was all within his ability, so he did not waste too much time on this step and had already stabilized the Primordial Qi in his body.
He looked up at the top of the Stairway, which was still far away. He took a deep breath and stepped onto the 201st step.
The pressure naturally increased, but the increase was obviously not as great as when he had reached the 200th step. In addition, Xia Ruofei had already adapted to this level of pressure. His body only swayed slightly and quickly stabilized.
However, the Primordial Qi in his body was still shaking violently. Therefore, he stood on the Stairway and circulated the Great Dao Technique twice to stabilize his Primordial Qi before continuing to go up.
210 steps, 220 steps, 230 steps …
Xia Ruofei had been maintaining a relatively stable rhythm and climbing up step by step.
The pressure of the obsidian Stairway to Heaven kept increasing. However, one good thing was that there were more than 500 steps. Therefore, unless it was 10 steps, 50 steps, or especially 100 steps, the increase would be slightly larger. The increase in the other steps was relatively small, so the challenger could have a process of adapting.
Of course, if one was not strong enough, no matter how small the increase was, the accumulation would be very terrifying. In the end, one would not be able to avoid the fate of being eliminated.
It was like boiling a frog in warm water. Although the temperature of the water was slowly rising, it would eventually boil.
For Xia Ruofei, more than 200 steps were far from the limit. Therefore, through climbing step by step, his body was constantly adapting to the increasing pressure. Therefore, he was still able to maintain a relatively stable rhythm, which was very reassuring.
At this time, in the hidden space filled with dense purple Qi, Daoist Master Qing Xuan and Zhenren Shanhe looked at the image of Xia Ruofei on the bronze mirror and could not help but nod.
Daoist Master Qing Xuan smiled and said, "It seems that I was right. If nothing goes wrong, this kid should be able to reach more than 400 steps!"
Zhenren Shanhe said, "I still think he should be able to break the record! By the way, more than 200 years ago, the cultivator who rushed to the 478th step and broke the record of the Stairway to Heaven was called Xuan Jizi, right? "
Daoist Master Qing Xuan nodded with a smile and said, "That's right! When he was climbing the Stairway to Heaven, he was still at the Late-stage of the Gold Core Realm. "
"If I remember correctly, this Xuan Jizi should be from the Xuanming Grotto-Heaven!" Zhenren Shanhe said, "This kid's cultivation environment and resources are a thousand times better than mine, a disciple from the Divine Prefecture's cultivation world … Daoist Master Qing Xuan, what is Xuan Jizi's cultivation level now?"
"Xuan Jizi's cultivation level is at the late stage of the Primordial Soul Stage. Five years ago, he began his closed-door cultivation and has not come out yet! I think he must have reached the critical moment of breaking through to the Out-of-Body Stage! " Daoist Master Qing Xuan said with a smile, "If everything goes well, Daoist Master Qing Xuan should be able to see this genius from the Xuanming Grotto-Heaven in the near future! At that time, we human cultivators will have another powerful combat force! "
Zhenren Shanhe nodded slowly and said, "This cultivation speed is not bad …"
"Haha! Xuan Jizi passed the Tower of Trials with the best record in history. The cultivation resources he received are also unimaginable for ordinary cultivators! " Daoist Master Qing Xuan said, "Of course, he did not disappoint. If he can break through to the Out-of-Body Stage in three hundred years, even in the long river of history, it is a very dazzling achievement!"
Zhenren Shanhe looked at Xia Ruofei who was steadily climbing up in the bronze mirror and said, "I believe this disciple of mine is not worse than Xuan Jizi, but … I don't know if there is enough time for him to grow …"
Daoist Master Qing Xuan sighed and said, "Daoist Master Shanhe, everything is destined! I don't think this disciple of yours is unlucky. No matter what the situation is in the future, I believe that he will be able to turn misfortune into blessing! "
"Haha! Daoist Master Qing Xuan's physiognomy has always been accurate. I will take your auspicious words then! "Zhenren Shanhe said with a laugh.
Daoist Master Qing Xuan and Zhenren Shanhe chatted while paying attention to Xia Ruofei's progress. On the eighth floor of the Tower of Trials, Xia Ruofei had already started climbing from the 300th floor to the 400th floor at a steady pace.
