Chapter 509: The Sixteenth Floor of Tianmen
In the afternoon, Yu Cang went to the thirteenth floor to take a look.
In Tianmen, the higher the level, the thinner the space and the higher the pressure.
On the twelfth floor, he could only feel a slight tearing sensation on his body, but as soon as he stepped onto the thirteenth floor... the power surrounding him suddenly intensified. Yu Cang groaned, his spirit fluctuated sharply, and a needle-like pricking sensation spread all over the surface of his skin, forcing him to tense his body.
A dull feeling of oppression lingered in his heart, forcing him to breathe very hard every time, otherwise he would not be able to get a trace of air from the surrounding space.
Yu Cang raised his hand and his eyes fell on it.
At this time, the blood vessels on his arms were clearly visible, with some obvious blood vessels bulging under the skin, and the blood flow rate in them became so rapid that he could now even hear the sound of blood flowing with just his ears.
And...the sound of a heartbeat.
Yu Cang was silent.
This feeling seemed to tear him apart... just like the time with Feng Yuecang.
Of course, here, if you are torn apart by the tension of space, no one will restore your body.
The space before the eleventh floor was normal, but now, having just reached the thirteenth floor, has the spatial tension reached such a terrifying level?
In just a short while, he already felt a little dizzy and short of oxygen.
It is hard to imagine how powerful the physical body of Shouzu, who lives on the 25th floor, is.
However, although this environment is dangerous, there are also many benefits to being in it.
Yu Cang tried to enter a meditative state, and suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his head. However, with Yu Cang's willpower, it was not difficult to bear.
This pain comes from the practice of fighting against spatial tension, which will constantly temper people's spirits, thus bringing the mental stress coefficient to a higher level.
Anything that can increase the coefficient is definitely a good thing.
Yu Cang rubbed his head.
Fortunately, although the feeling of the thirteenth floor is very uncomfortable, it is still bearable.
The human body is a very magical thing. When discomfort and a sense of crisis begin to arise, it is often just the starting point.
The twelfth level only has some stimulating effect on the mental stress coefficient. If you want to maximize the training effect... you have to move towards a higher level of space.
Yu Cang raised his head.
Don’t be in a hurry…just get used to it first and take your time.
Thinking of this, he sat cross-legged, completely immersed in meditation.
…
Two hours later
After gradually getting used to the stabbing pain in his head, Yu Cang stood up.
"continue."
Yu Cang trudged forward and soon arrived at the fourteenth floor.
Yu Cang took a step and was about to move forward, but at this moment, he suddenly felt a sense of crisis in his heart.
He frowned slightly, but still stepped forward resolutely and walked through the door.
Wow!
In an instant, the blood in the body seemed to turn into a rushing river, and the sound of the tide flowed in his mind. Yu Cang tensed his body in an instant, and every inch of his muscles remained in a tense state!
So awesome!
Yu Cang looked at his skin... tiny blood-colored lines spread across the surface of his skin, as if his body was about to fall apart.
But...I can bear it.
I tried meditating for a bit, and the pain in my head became more severe, but in contrast, the pleasure of expanding the limits of my mental stress became clearer.
"...It hasn't reached its limit yet, but..."
Yu Cang frowned.
That being said, I already have to tense all my muscles to survive on the fourteenth level... Going higher, even if I could endure it, I probably wouldn't be able to practice for a long time.
Even if you are on the fourteenth floor, if you stay there for a little longer, you will inevitably feel sore all over and even have cramps when you return.
In that case...
Yu Cang didn't stay there for too long. He took a step and walked towards the distance.
Let’s go to the higher floors.
A huge stone door was hidden in the clouds, which was the passage to the next level.
Fifteenth floor.
As he stepped into it, in an instant, the pain of being torn into pieces erupted from inside his body, as if he were being torn into pieces by five horses... no, by thousands or tens of thousands of horses!
At this time, Yu Cang had to disperse the soul energy into his body and use the power of the soul energy to support his body.
Otherwise, his body would probably be torn into many wounds in an instant, and in the face of such a force that spread throughout the entire space, Yu Cang didn't think he had any chance of stopping the bleeding.
Yu Cang stood there, calculating silently in his mind for a moment.
There is still room for improvement.
On the fifteenth floor, the world as far as the eye can see is filled with clouds, as if you are in an endless sea of clouds. From time to time, you can hear the roars of beasts from the abyss coming from the depths of the sea of clouds... Those should be the spiritual beasts cultivating here.
continue.
Yu Cang followed the map given by Ao Hai, and soon found the huge door leading to the sixteenth floor.
Before taking a step, he wanted to take a deep breath, but under such pressure, even a simple breath required all his strength to grab a little bit of air from the outside world.
He probably couldn't handle the sixteenth floor, but he just wanted to take a look.
So... he won't breathe on the sixteenth floor. He must hold his breath throughout the next action.
The air filled his lungs with difficulty. Yu Cang concentrated and was about to step through the door, but at this moment -
clatter.
A pair of hands pressed down on Yu Cang's shoulders, and then Ao Hai's voice came from behind.
"Sir!" he said, "You can't bear the world ahead yet... Go back first."
Yu Cang frowned: "I just... took a look..."
The gas leakage was almost out of control. Yu Cang had only said these six words when the air in his lungs was almost emptied.
Ao Hai sighed.
"Alas... sir, it's not that I look down on you, but the sixteenth floor is a dividing point. The pressure after that is different from before."
Yu Cang opened his mouth, but before he could utter a word, his breath was almost gone. Seeing this, Ao Hai no longer hesitated. It was not known what magical power he used, but energy surged out of his body.
Yu Cang only felt a flash before his eyes, and then his body quickly relaxed. The forces that wanted to tear him apart receded like the tide. When his vision became clear again, he had already reached the twelfth floor.
"Huh--ha--" Yu Cang took a deep breath, the air flow passed through his throat, rubbing against his vocal tract, making an extremely hoarse sound.
His body had not yet adapted to the sudden relaxation and was still contracting with the original strength, so Yu Cang's body immediately curled up into a ball. Moreover, the muscles that had been exerting force for a long time were now a little numb, which made Yu Cang unable to control his body for a while, and he could only curl up into a ball.
Seeing this, Ao Hai coughed lightly and quietly looked away.
"Ao, cough cough... Ao Hai..." Yu Cang scratched his throat, "Can't you bring me back layer by layer?"
I know you are fast, but you don’t have to be so fast when you are carrying yourself!
If you don't want to go on, why not just talk to him nicely? Why do you have to cross four floors and bring yourself to the twelfth floor?
The pressure gap was so huge that Yu Cang had no room to adapt. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so embarrassed.
"Uh... hehe." Ao Hai touched his head a little embarrassedly, "I'm just worried about your health..."
"Cough cough... um... cough..."
After a long time, Yu Cang finally recovered a little.
He stood up slowly.
"Why are you stopping me?" Yu Cang rubbed his sore muscles. "I don't think I've reached my limit yet."
Upon hearing this, Ao Hai hurriedly said, "Sir, the sixteenth floor of Tianmen is a dividing point. After the sixteenth floor, the spatial tension will suddenly increase dramatically and undergo continuous chaotic changes. In a place like that, blindly resisting this force will only backfire... You haven't mastered the skills yet. If you rush into the sixteenth floor, there is a high probability of accidents."
"...I understand." Yu Cang was still following his own breath.
Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?
"You mentioned techniques just now? Are there any techniques for fighting against spatial tension?"
"Of course there are - this is Tianmen, and no matter what we do, it all depends on 'comprehension'." Ao Hai smiled, seeming quite pleased with himself. "Sir, you and I are not bragging, but the comprehension of our spirit beast clan is absolutely amazing!"
Looking at Ao Hai, whose eyes were full of wisdom, Yu Cang didn't think this sentence was credible.
"After the sixteenth level, resistance is useless. You must learn to relax your body, go with the flow, and become one with the pressure!"
"Relax?" Yu Cang raised his brows. "Won't you be torn to pieces?"
Under that kind of tension, relaxing is no different from seeking death. As soon as the strength is released, you will definitely be torn into pieces.
Unless one's physical fitness is extremely strong, one can ignore spatial tension by relying on toughness itself.
...The understanding that Ao Hai mentioned, doesn't it mean using big muscles to resist?
"This... I can't explain it either." Ao Hai shook his head, "But just trust me, it's absolutely correct... Many humans got through this way back then."
Yu Cang blinked: "Then, if the predecessor is at level six, what is the highest level he can reach?"
"Seventeenth floor—any higher than that is beyond the reach of level six."
"...I understand." Yu Cang nodded and memorized the data in his heart.
What Ao Hai said should be the record that Yan State has seen so far.
In that case, I have to go to the eighteenth floor.
There's no way around it, he has to be better than anyone else.
Looking at Yu Cang who seemed lost in thought, Ao Hai changed the subject and said, "By the way... Emperor Chang'an Shenhua sent me a message. He said... tomorrow, he wants you to bring your girlfriend to Tianmen to practice together."
"Ah?" Yu Cang's eyes widened. "Really?"
"Of course, this can't be faked - and now Gu Jieshuang is already testing the Jiefu on the first level."
Yu Cang hissed softly, but... it made sense when he thought about it.
Although the Tianmen quota is very precious, it is nothing in the eyes of Di Changan.
Since Di Chang'an appeared in front of Gu Jieshuang that day, it meant that he had also recognized Gu Jieshuang.
only……
"Why wait until today to let Jie Shuang in?"
"Emperor Shenhua didn't explain this to me, but…" Ao Hai suddenly smiled teasingly, "I guess… I'm just guessing. Emperor Shenhua must want you to enjoy the beautiful girls in our Dragon Palace first, and then…"
"...Forget it." Yu Cang rolled his eyes and interrupted Ao Hai.
Di Chang'an is the ruler of a country, how could he be so dishonest... That's not right.
He suddenly remembered that Di Chang'an had hidden in the dark and secretly watched him act out the plot of the Dragon King's Return, and had Ye Chengming show up to add fuel to the fire.
...Maybe it's true.
I give up.
No wonder he can live so long, his mentality is young.
"Hehe." Ao Hai was not annoyed at being interrupted, "Sir, you remain calm, I admire you... Anyway, I definitely couldn't do that when I was young."
In the Dragon Palace, the strong are respected. Whatever you do is justified. No one will say anything about you having three wives and four concubines. Moreover, Yu Cang's strength is no longer ordinary.
Looking at Ao Hai's frivolous smile, Yu Cang just wanted to change the subject quickly.
He glanced at Ao Hai's arm and said, "Your arm...was it healed?"
"Not yet." Ao Hai rolled up his sleeves.
At this time, there was something in the originally empty sleeve, but the color of the dragon scales on the arm was extremely dim, almost non-existent, which was quite obvious compared to the other arm covered with dragon scales.
"The new arm is usable, but it will take a long time for the dragon scales to grow back."
This dragon scale can be considered as part of his magical power. It is not so easy to restore it after being damaged like that - after all, this is a myth.
For a long time to come, this arm will be his weak point in battle.
There's nothing we can do about it.
Yu Cang saw this, thought about it, and suddenly said:
"This injury... can Ao Xiang heal it?"
"Ah?" Ao Hai was stunned. "His magical power... I haven't tried it before, but even if it can, he is an epic, so he can't cure myths."
"...That's right." Yu Cang nodded and said nothing.
"Sir, it's getting late... Shall I take you out?"
"OK."
…
When I arrived at the first floor, I saw Gu Jieshuang as expected.
At this time, a talisman exactly the same as the one on Yu Cang was spinning around her. It seemed that there should be no problem.
Seeing Yu Cang appear, Gu Jieshuang immediately stood up, her eyes lit up, and Ao Hai, who was standing beside her, saw this and left tactfully.
"Boss!" Gu Jieshuang rushed over and hugged Yu Cang's arm, "Senior Ling also allowed me to enter Tianmen!"
Yu Cang smiled: "That's good... What are you doing?"
Gu Jieshuang put her nose close to the food like a puppy and took several deep breaths.
"Hehe...it's okay." Gu Jieshuang showed a silly smile on her face, "The boss smells good."
Turning around, I saw Ao Hai had already flown away.
So she stood on tiptoe and gave Yu Cang a big kiss on the side of his face.
"Let's go home...Tomorrow, I'll have to trouble Yunqing to help look after Qi'er."
