C165 Opportunity
After four hours, he had recovered to fifty percent.
"Chen Yu!" Chen Yu was still cultivating, but he heard Mo Shu's voice, which was full of panting.
Opening her eyes, she looked in the direction of the voice. Mo Shu had already reached the tenth step. Sweat could be seen on her forehead. She was still climbing upwards, but she was already starting to show her powerlessness.
Due to being distracted, Chen Yu immediately felt the circulation of his zhenqi slowing down.
He wanted to ignore Mo Shu, but Chen Yu couldn't bear it any longer and decided to just leave it at that.
Chen Yu had managed to recover to his peak state after enduring the strong invisible pressure for the past four hours. He was even stronger now and his cultivation had improved again.
Chen Yu understood that because he was operating under the strong pressure on the tower, his zhenqi was tempered and became purer!
This logic was the same as Bloodfire Emperor when he was young, cultivating in a training room that had ten times or twenty times gravity.
Cultivating under extreme conditions would bring many benefits to a fighter.
"Miss Mo, don't force yourself!" Chen Yu didn't get up. Instead, he took off Lin Zefong's Storage Bag and checked. As he checked, he responded to Mo Shu.
Chen Yu had a good impression of Mo Shu. Not only was Mo Shu beautiful, but her courage was also admired by Chen Yu.
Of course, the most important thing was that Chen Yu had a vengeful personality. Mo Shu had defended him several times, but Chen Yu had always kept that in mind!
"I swore that I would bring my brother home!" Mo Shu's tone was cut off by the immense pressure, but her determination was strong.
Chen Yu turned around and looked at Mo Jia. Mo Jia was indeed an expert of the sixth floor of Heavenly Astral Stage, but he had already reached the twentieth floor and was at the same level as Chen Yu.
However, it was obvious that Mo Jia could not take it anymore. His forehead was already covered in sweat.
Without Chen Yu's judgement, with Mo Jia's Heavenly Astral Stage's sixth floor's strength, being able to reach a height of fifty to sixty meters was his limit. It was a far distance away from where the three corpses were located, and even more so from where Mo Ming had reached.
Chen Yu was now certain that the pressure on the tower would change over time. At a certain point, the pressure would be greatly reduced.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why Mo Ming and the three Qiao Family Warriors would have died at a height of two to three hundred meters.
By the same logic, Chen Yu was sure that the sudden decrease in the pressure wouldn't last for too long. Perhaps it was just a few seconds because if it was, Mo Ming and the others would have already reached the top.
Chen Yu was pretty sure about this conjecture, but it was not necessarily a good thing to see it!
Withdrawing his gaze, Chen Yu looked towards the inner space of the Storage Bag along the opening of the bag.
In Chen Yu's eyes, a small pile of rations appeared. It was not a small amount, but it was enough for a person to use for one to two years.
Without a doubt, Lin Zefong had come prepared. He had prepared a lot of food.
Chen Yu estimated that if it wasn't because the space of the Storage Bag was limited, Lin Zefong would have brought more rations with him.
After confirming that Lin Zefong's Storage Bag was well-fed, Chen Yu felt a lot more at ease. At the very least, he wouldn't be trapped here for a year or two.
Seeing that Mo Shu was still trying her best to climb up, Chen Yu secretly admired this woman's determination. After pondering for a moment, he said, "This matter cannot be rushed. Miss Mo, why don't you slowly climb up and wait for the right time!"
Mo Shu froze for a moment. What did waiting for an opportunity mean?
Seeing Mo Shu's confused expression, Chen Yu smiled meaningfully and did not explain anymore. He got up and continued to walk towards the top of the tower.
Although she had a good impression of Mo Shu, she still had to keep what she had to keep. Furthermore, Mo Shu would understand sooner or later!
Two hours later, Chen Yu went up another ten steps.
At this point, Chen Yu found it difficult to move a single step. If he wanted to take another step forward, his body would feel as heavy as iron and his knees would not be able to withstand the pressure.
Chen Yu stopped again and started channeling his Profound Heaven Spell.
This time, the circulation was even more difficult. It took Chen Yu a full eight hours to raise his cultivation speed to 50% of his usual speed!
After getting used to it, Chen Yu stood up again and continued to walk up.
At this time, Mo Shu had only reached the 15th step, while Mo Jia had only reached the 26th step.
Yuen Cheng still hadn't ascended the tower.
During this process, Chen Yu had not felt the invisible pressure significantly lessen. Because of the angle, Chen Yu could not see Qiao Zhiyan's situation, but he was sure that Qiao Zhiyan and the other Qiao Family warriors had all started to ascend the tower!
From this, it could be confirmed that his assumption that the greater the number of people climbing up the tower, the less pressure they would have was wrong. The pressure of this tower will not change by the number of people who ascend it!
The pressure was still increasing. Chen Yu clenched his teeth as he walked up the pressure.
Every three to five steps, Chen Yu had to rest for a while, eating and sleeping at the same time to eliminate the exhaustion in his mind, so that his body could adapt to this ubiquitous and great pressure.
Every time he rested, the time he spent rest increased!
After a few days, Chen Yu's ascension became one step at a time, and the time he took a rest continued to grow. Every time he stopped, he had to use all of his strength to channel his zhenqi into his zhenqi.
Every time he activated his zhen qi, Chen Yu had the illusion that his zhen qi was completely suppressed and he could no longer operate it. However, every time he used his full strength, his zhenqi would slowly circulate.
However, the extreme speed of every true qi circulation had been lowered again and again, from 50% to 45%, to 30%, and then to 25% … …
Chen Yu knew that when his zhenqi really started to fail, then he would have to think of another way.
Time flowed by. Chen Yu did not know how many days had passed, maybe a month, maybe two months, or even longer!
Finally, after sitting cross-legged on one of the stairs for a whole hour without being able to circulate the zhenqi in his body, Chen Yu knew that he had reached his limit.
Slowly and stiffly, Chen Yu looked down from the tower and realized that he was still only about a hundred feet from the ground. He was still a hundred feet away from the top of the tower!
Chen Yu's gaze moved as he saw Mo Jia meditating and resting five feet from the ground.
As for Mo Shu, she was only three Zhang away from the tower.
"So it turns out that I've actually surpassed them by so much!" Chen Yu was a little surprised, he did not expect Mo Jia, who had reached the sixth level of Heavenly Astral Stage, to only be fifty meters tall, which was far from him.
However, Chen Yu did not feel proud at all.
Feeling the overwhelming pressure, Chen Yu knew that he had reached his limit. Every step he took was like ascending to heaven, and even if he barely managed to climb a few steps, it wouldn't make much sense. He might as well take a good rest.
Taking out the dried food and water from the Storage Bag, Chen Yu found that his simple actions of taking the dried food from the Storage Bag had become extremely difficult.
Under the terrifyingly strong pressure, any movement would cause the body to be overwhelmed.
It was even harder to swallow than it was to swallow.
After eating, Chen Yu leaned against the stairs and closed his eyes to sleep.
Chen Yu's mental energy consumption was also very serious due to the continuous circulation of his Zhen Qi under the immense pressure. Therefore, he felt a little tired and decided to continue after he recovered his mental energy.
This time, Chen Yu didn't sleep very well. He felt that he was sleeping with his back against a mountain. After a period of time, his body was aching.
It was a good thing that although he didn't sleep well, his spirit had somewhat recovered.
After recovering, Chen Yu stood up slowly. Along with this movement, he seemed to hear his body creaking and felt like it was going to fall apart.
"Four fifths of the way!" Chen Yu muttered to himself as he slowly walked up another step with great difficulty.
Chen Yu took a full ten minutes to get to the top of the stairs.
Then, Chen Yu stood there and began to move his body.
It took Chen Yu another two hours of simple exercise to make his tired body feel better due to sleeping.
Sitting down again, Chen Yu started to form hand seals.
Blood Burning Technique sacred art!
The Blood Flame Tyrant Spell was truly worthy of being called an unrivalled miracle. As the Blood Burning Technique circulated, his body started to regain its vitality. Chen Yu felt that the zhenqi in his body that was like stagnant water also started to show signs of activity.
It was as though his zhenqi had broken through some shackles as it began to flow slowly. After which, it started to increase its speed by four hours, completing an entire cycle. Its speed increased once more, reaching around 20% of its usual speed.
Chen Yu let out a long breath and continued his cultivation for six hours.
Then, Chen Yu ate and slept.
Chen Yu temporarily didn't have any plans to continue walking up the stairs as he repeated himself. This was because he knew that he wouldn't be able to go far if he went up any further. It was already meaningless.
Chen Yu was waiting for the time when the pressure would drop!
Five days later, the speed of Chen Yu's zhenqi circulation returned to 30% of its usual speed!
15 days later, he recovered to 35%!
Chen Yu felt that his body was getting more and more accustomed to the terrifying pressure at a height of 100 feet.
After such a long time, Mo Shu finally arrived at a height of five Zhang from the ground with great difficulty. Mo Jia, on the other hand, had reached a height of six Zhang from the ground. Just like Chen Yu, they had to sit down and cultivate every step of the way.
However, they showed no signs of giving up.
As for Yuen Cheng, he had already started attempting to climb the tower, reaching a distance of 30 feet from the ground.
Chen Yu didn't care too much about this. He continued to cultivate. Besides cultivating, he only ate and slept.
Chen Yu could feel the zhenqi in his body becoming purer, as if it had solidified. It was as viscous as lead and mercury. As it circulated in his meridians, it had a heavy feeling to it.
With Bloodfire Emperor's experience in cultivation, Chen Yu was very clear about this. He knew that he had completed the polishing of his zhenqi, which had allowed his zhenqi to have the basic ability to transform into astral form!
In other words, while Chen Yu had been stuck in this tower for a long time, his gains had been great as well. He had reached the level of half-step into Heavenly Dipper, and the only thing left was to convert his zhen qi into qi.
In addition, Chen Yu also felt that his body was stronger and tougher, and his physique stronger. Although it wasn't obvious that this point would be suppressed under the sea of pressure, Chen Yu knew that this point would immediately show after he left the tower.
Without much joy, Chen Yu prepared to continue cultivating. At this moment, he suddenly felt the zhenqi in his body speeding up.
At the same time, the invisible pressure that grabbed Chen Yu suddenly dropped.
"He's here!" Chen Yu's expression changed and he suddenly stood up!
