Chapter 566: Trust
In the following days, the 'two of them' climbed the cliff during the day and practiced at night, and they never encountered cold winds again.
But even if there was no cold wind, the increasing pressure in the air was enough for them.
As the pressure around them increased, the 'two' climbed more slowly.
Especially in the later stage, almost always climb a step to catch your breath on your stomach.
In such a state, Xue Langjing never fell again.
Why is this so?
I think it has something to do with people's inertia or dependence.
used to fall from time to time, probably because she knew in her heart that even if she fell, she would have a demon to swallow her, so she would have much less worries in this regard, and unconsciously, she would become slack.
However, once you find that if you fall down, you will fall into a place of no return, no one will just slack off, and every step will be extremely careful.
She's actually pretty much the same.
Ever since she accidentally fell, and as a result, she slid more than 200 meters to stabilize her body, and she never dared to fall again.
Not to mention how long it took to waste a fall, and how much energy it was, what if the demon swallowed it and resisted? Are they going to fall off the cliff again, just like last time?
Moreover, the higher you go, the more pressure there is, and the worse the fall will be.
Therefore, in such a dangerous place, you can't really make a mistake, and you must be extremely careful.
With such a lesson in front of her, how dare she slack off!
Of course, the effort is not unrewarded.
How hard it is to climb outside, how refreshing it is to cultivate inside the cave.
The longer you persist under strong pressure, the more tempering you will get, and the faster your cultivation speed will be.
Although they really want to go back, their biggest pursuit is strength.
In the rest of the trip, what they care about most is not the speed of climbing, but the time they spend climbing outside.
Even if you climb one step and rest two steps, as long as you persist for a longer time and let your body get closer to the limit of what it can bear, the effect of tempering will be better.
Seeing that it has gone on for so many days, there is no danger around, as if there are only two of them living creatures in the entire cliff, in order to get better tempering, Demon Swallow is also hard enough.
After Xue Langjing reached the limit, he put her in his mouth and continued to climb by himself, and then dug a hole to rest when he couldn't climb anymore.
At this time, although Xue Langjing's strength was a little scummy, after a period of cultivation, it had also recovered a lot, which somewhat allowed them to retain some strength, and it could enjoy the fruits of its body being tempered with peace of mind.
For it, Xue Langjing is finally no longer useless.
As the 'two' climbed higher and higher, the pressure around them also increased dramatically.
Xue Langjing didn't swallow a few drops of spiritual liquid in her stomach before leaving, so she basically couldn't withstand the pressure outside.
But even so, under that intense pressure, she was in pain and happy almost every day.
The pressure made her feel that the muscles and bones of her whole body were being crushed, and she could only support her body with difficulty, every inch of flesh and blood was being squeezed, not only the seven orifices, but even the skin was oozing blood, and then it continued to recover under the moisture of the spiritual fluid.
As long as people stay outside, they will repeat the state of rolling, recovering, and rolling again all the time.
Fortunately, there was a spiritual fluid and a demon swallow, otherwise, she wouldn't have wanted to climb until now, let alone climb up.
The Ichor allowed her to constantly repair her body's damage, and the Demon Swallow gave her room for shelter.
Of course, the strong pressure has also brought her great benefits.
After continuous crushing and recovery, she could clearly feel that her muscles and bones were becoming tougher, her flesh and blood were becoming tighter, her meridians were constantly being broadened, and her strength was advancing by leaps and bounds.
The energy that can be refined every night ranges from a dozen drops of spiritual liquid to twenty, thirty, dozens, or even more.
The cyclone in the dantian also became more condensed and massive, and even the blue light around it gradually became as dazzling as gold and cyan.
Needless to say, the meridians were being opened up one by one, enough for her to hold more energy.
Among the condensed stars, the water star gradually narrowed the gap between it and the other two complete stars.
Of course, the other two stars are also constantly strengthened.
However, with the improvement of strength, the pressure exerted by the outside world is gradually increasing, which may be the cliff's 'teaching them according to their aptitude'.
However, if it's just a matter of getting more stressed, forget it.
The strange thing is that even the cliff wall has become harder, making it difficult for them to even make holes.
And as they continued to climb upwards, the pressure was so great that they could no longer sustain their long-term climbing, interrupting at least several times a day.
But to rest, you need to dig holes.
Otherwise, as long as you stay outside, the pressure will not wane.
But this hole is getting harder and harder!
It's an endless loop.
What to do?
After discussion, the two came up with a solution.
One 'person' rests, the other 'person' climbs, and so on, until it gets dark, or 'both' can't hold on, and then dig a hole to rest.
So how?
Very simple.
When the Demon Swallow is climbing, it can become larger, allowing Xue Lang to sit quietly in its mouth and cultivate.
And when Xue Langjing climbs, it can shrink and stay in her clothes.
However, in this way, the climber has to bear double pressure, which may be the price of carrying her.
And not only that, even if they hide inside, the pressure on them is still unabated.
In other words, as long as you don't hide in a hole, you can hide anywhere, just without climbing.
Generally, when safety cannot be determined, no person or beast dares to cultivate with confidence.
After all, cultivation requires immersing one's body and mind in a state of cultivation, and in such a situation, a cultivator's ability to protect oneself will be greatly reduced.
Without enough trust, it is difficult for the average person to put their lives in the hands of others.
To be sure, the two of them haven't reached that level yet.
But considering the surrounding environment, such a choice is most beneficial for them.
And in this situation where you can only support each other, only if the other party is alive, can you have a greater chance of survival.
So, they don't trust even if they don't trust.
Of course, there was another reason that they found that cultivating outside the cave, that is, under pressure, was several times faster than inside the cave.
After some consideration, the 'two' finally decided to do it!
It can be said that this cliff climb is both a challenge and an opportunity for them.
Xue Langjing was originally cultivating below, and he could only absorb one drop of spiritual liquid every night.
And in the hole, there are now dozens of drops every night.
When you come outside, you can also cultivate during the day, even if you divide it evenly, 'each person' only has half a day, but with the blessing of several times the increase, you can refine at least a hundred drops in one day and one night.
In other words, one day of cultivation now, even if it can't reach hundreds of days, dozens of days are appropriate.
