Chapter 28: Climbing the Ladder
Duan Ling walked into the cloud ladder, and the coercion on the cloud ladder directly pressed down on him, the last time he walked to the one hundred and sixty-first steps, this time after the cultivation rose greatly, the first two hundred steps did not have any pressure on him at all.
In the Open Pulse Realm, the gap between each vein cannot be made up by doubling the cultivation, it is a real change in essence, not an increase in quantity.
The 300th Order...
Duan Ling was running his cultivation, and although the coercion was slowly increasing, it was still not much pressure on him now. Keep walking...
The 400th Order...
The 500th Order...
It wasn't until the sixtieth order that Duan Ling felt that the pressure had risen to a higher level, and he had cultivated the six veins to operate, which had reduced the pressure brought by the cloud ladder, and his steps had slowly begun to become heavy, no longer as easy as before.
"I still have some strength left in my cultivation, and I can go further. Duan Ling already had fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and his cultivation was running rapidly, and he continued to walk upward.
Six-zero-one
......
Six-eighty-zero
Duan Ling's cultivation had already run ninety percent, but now every time he took the next step, he felt that the pressure on his body was constantly increasing.
Yang Ming, who was at the end of the Cloud Ladder List, also walked through the 763rd Order, and this 763 has since become a watershed for the hundreds of thousands of monks of the Yunding Sect on the Cloud Ladder List.
"With my cultivation, seven hundred steps is already my limit. Duan Ling looked at the cloud ladder with no end in sight, and shook his head with a wry smile, if he couldn't walk through the seven or six third steps, his name would not be on the cloud ladder list. It seems that Xiong Tiefei's ridicule is not unreasonable, it is indeed too difficult to leave a name on the list.
Clenching his fists, Duan Ling continued to step out, six hundred and eighty-one steps. His clothes were already soaked with sweat, his body was not even so straight anymore, and the exponential pressure was like a mountain, weighing heavily on his back.
He quickly ran his cultivation, exhaled a big breath of turbidity, and forcibly endured the heaviness on his body and took another step, six or eight two steps. Under the heavy pressure, Duan Ling staggered and stood firm.
Again and again, he made his cultivation run rapidly, and again and again he took difficult steps, and each time he felt that he could not step into the next step. By the time he reached the sixth, ninety-ninth order, Duan Lin's back had completely bent, his face was even more bruised, and the bones in his whole body seemed to be rattling.
"One more step and I can definitely take another step. Duan Ling's eyes were bloodshot, and his cultivation had already been run to the extreme.
His footsteps lifted and placed in mid-air, a seemingly simple step that could be taken for a long time. Duan Ling gritted his teeth, his face flushed from the heaviness on his body.
"Bang!" When his footsteps landed on the seventh-hundredth step, there was a tremor in his body, and Duan Ling's whole person even lay on the seventh-hundredth step. He gasped for air, feeling a sudden lighter in his body.
The sound was not the sound of a mountain of pressure crushing his bones, and he stood up from the seven-hundredth staircase with an incredulous expression. In the confrontation between the intense pressure and the extreme cultivation, the previously loose connections were actually directly washed away under the hedge of the two forces.
"I broke through here. Duan Ling stood up, his fists clenched, and he felt that the speed of his whole body's cultivation was faster, and the spiritual power in his body was more abundant.
"In that case, I can go farther, and even if I make a name on the ladder list, it is not completely hopeless. Duan Ling's eyes were blazing, and he stepped towards the seventy-one step. The coercion was still increasing, but for his cultivation now, these coercion were no longer as difficult for him as before.
Seventy-two, seven-zero-three...... Seven sixty-two
"One more step and I'll be able to break into the first thousand. Duan Ling's footsteps slowly lifted and fell, and he suddenly found himself completely enveloped by the light emanating from this cloud ladder, which seemed to confirm his identity. At the same time, I saw that outside the ladder, a streamer immediately appeared on the stone monument in the square.
"What's going on? There's a streamer on the stele. ”
"Could it be that someone has surpassed Senior Brother Yang Ming?"
"Who is it?"
Everyone on the square got up from their respective meditations and came to the stone tablet, staring at the stone tablet released by the streamer, and in the thousandth position, the original name of Yang Ming suddenly disappeared, and another name gradually appeared. It was blurred at first, and then slowly began to solidify, and finally it was clearly presented on the stone tablet - Duan Ling.
"Duan Ling, it's Duan Ling. ”
"It's him. ”
Bursts of inhalation came from the crowd, they may not have seen Duan Ling, but they had definitely heard his name.
"This person fought with Senior Brother not long ago, and I heard that if it weren't for his spirit beast, he might have died at the hands of Senior Brother a long time ago. ”
"Hmph, at most, he can squeeze Senior Brother Yang Ming down and stop here. ”
Watching the light of the name on Duan Ling's stele slowly weaken, the voices of discussion came and went. After all, Duan Ling's cultivation time was too short, which made everyone reluctant to hope that Duan Ling could go further.
It's just that just when everyone thought that Duan Ling had stopped and was about to return to their positions to continue meditating, the light on Duan Ling's name that was already about to disappear rose again.
"He... Does he still have any strength left?" I don't know who shouted in surprise again, and those who had already turned back and looked at the light that was gradually rising on the stone tablet.
In the cloud ladder, Duan Ling rested for a while, and then stepped out again, he felt that his foot seemed to have stepped out of a pit on the cloud ladder under his feet. His clothes were already soaked, and his legs trembled slightly, as if he might fall to the ground at any moment, but this step was still firmly on the seventh and sixth and fourth steps.
The Seven Veins Cultivation was fully operational, Duan Ling held his breath and walked a few steps directly towards the stairs in front of him, and finally stopped at the top of the Seven Seventy-One Steps.
And on the square, everyone was staring intently at Duan Ling's name, and suddenly the shining name rose directly and quickly from the bottom, stopping at the ninety-nine-nine, but before the light shone, he jumped directly from the ninety-nine-nine to the ninety-forty-three, and before he stopped at the ninety-forty-three, he jumped again, and after repeating it several times, Duan Ling's name finally stopped at the eighty-five-one.
Although Duan Ling had only taken seven short steps, there were many people on this ladder list who had the same rank, but the ladder list would be compared and ranked according to the subsequent cultivation of monks of the same rank.
"It's... What the hell is going on? Why did he rise so quickly?"
"Impossible... This...... Could it be that there is a mistake in this ladder list?"
"No, he is condensing the power of the explosion and rushing directly through it in one go. ”
There was one who knew the truth, and explained it to the people. Even so, this scene was still too shocking for those of them who saw it with their own eyes, after all, there were too few people who climbed so fast in the rankings like Duan Ling.
"Foolish, didn't he know that though this could be done for a short time, the coercion would be even stronger in this velocity? ”
This must be the final place for him to stop, he has spent so much spiritual power that he will never have the strength to resist a higher level of coercion. ”
It's just that everyone knows that even so, Duan Ling's achievements are enough to arouse their envy.
Duan Ling in the cloud ladder was indeed as they said, under this outburst, he was under extremely strong pressure, blood was already flowing from the corner of his mouth, the heavy pressure still injured his body, and he could feel that the spiritual power in his body was slowly withering.
"I can go up again. Duan Ling patted the storage bag, and a handful of small Huandan appeared in his hand, and he threw it directly into his mouth without thinking about it.
These small pills were all refined by himself, and the purity of the essence reached more than ninety percent, and if he ate this handful, it was equivalent to consuming hundreds of spirit stones, and such consumption was a waste for most of the disciples of the Yunding Sect.
After Xiao Huandan replenished his spiritual power in his body, Duan Ling took another step forward, he already knew that he could no longer use explosive power to climb the ladder quickly, otherwise if his body could not bear it, his internal organs would definitely be shattered.
"Look, he's up the ranks again. ”
"He... He... How the hell did he do it?"
"Is it true that he has just joined the sect not long ago?"
This scene shocked everyone's hearts again and again, and finally this time no one said that this was Duan Ling's place to stop.
......
"I can't take it anymore. Duan Ling leaned on his body, and stood on top of the seven, eight, and nine-step ladder with trembling feet.
"One step further. Duan Ling's face was purple, and he stepped on the seven-nine-ninetieth step with great difficulty.
"Bang!" A blood vessel burst on his body, and the clothes that could have been wrung out of the water were quickly dyed bright red by the blood that burst out of the blood vessels.
"I can't go any further, my cultivation may be able to take a few more steps, but my body can no longer continue to withstand the pressure of continuous strengthening. Duan Ling stared at the stairs at the top with blood red.
"Stopped, the glow of his name was about to fade. ”
"This should be his final ranking, right?"
"No. 779, he has walked through the seventy-nine-step ladder, and he has not been in the sect for more than a year......"
The people in front of the stone tablet looked at the name that stayed at the seven, seven, and nine positions, and no one was sure if this was the last stop.
In a little nervous and expectant, jealous and envious eyes, the light on the stone tablet completely dissipated, and everyone breathed a big sigh of relief, this is indeed the last stop.
Duan Ling turned around and stepped back, his body suddenly lightened, and he felt that the whole person could even float. The ladder goes down from the top to the bottom, and there is no pressure, which means that the climb has been abandoned.
Duan Ling saw the embarrassed appearance of his whole body, and quickly took out a set of long shirts from the storage bag to change into, and then walked towards the bottom of the cloud ladder.
When Duan Ling walked down the ladder, he saw that everyone was standing in front of the stone monument at this time, and the other people who walked down the ladder with him also walked towards the stone monument when they saw this.
"Hey, it's really more popular than people, my Xiong Tiefei's cultivation over the years has been cultivated to dogs. Xiong Tiefei sighed and squeezed out of the crowd in front of the stone tablet, but he witnessed the shock that Duan Ling caused to everyone.
"Alas, boy, how many steps did you walk this time? two hundred or three hundred?" Xiong Tiefei saw Duan Ling coming down from the cloud ladder, and the gloom in his heart suddenly dissipated a lot.
"I'm not useless, at least I'm much better than this kid. He thought to himself.
Duan Ling ignored him and walked directly past him, Xiong Tiefei suddenly became angry in his heart, "I called you, you stop for me." Xiong Tiefei said as he walked towards Duan Ling.
"Look, it's Senior Brother Duan Ling. ”
"Senior Brother Duan Ling....."
"Congratulations to Senior Brother Duan Ling....."
Before Xiong Tiefei could walk to Duan Ling's side, there were bursts of eager shouts behind him, and Xiong Tiefei turned his head to see what kind of person Duan Ling was. It's just that what he didn't expect was that he only turned his head halfway, and then he caused a burst of push from the people who were rushing behind him, knocking him directly to the ground.
That group of people ran directly to the kid who he just wanted to come forward to find him, surrounded him, and said congratulations one by one, his mind immediately went blank, and he didn't listen to what everyone said, but the word "Duan Ling" hit his heart every time.
"He... Is he Duan Ling?" Xiong Tiefei, who was pushed to the ground, looked at Duan Ling who was surrounded by everyone in a daze, and even saw Duan Ling grinning at him, which made him immediately feel a chill all over his body.
"My fucking brain is caught in the door, and I actually want to go up to find his bad luck?" Xiong Tiefei's legs were weak, and cold sweat broke out.
