the third floor.
When Ouyang Ming stepped on it, his steps were already staggering.
The pressure on the first level is actually very slight, and even ordinary people can easily endure it. However, when he stepped on the steps and walked all the way to the second floor, Ouyang Ming already felt tremendous pressure.
That kind of pressure is like wearing a fully armed blank armor on the body, and the armor weighs hundreds of kilograms, which is enough to make a person breathless even if he is standing on the same spot. As for carrying the armor and walking slowly, it would be difficult.
However, when Ouyang Ming entered the road to enlightenment, he already knew that the road here was not simple, so he was mentally prepared for it. Although every step he took made people feel a bit difficult, he gritted his teeth and stopped all the way.
However, when he stepped on the stairs and moved up to the third floor step by step, the huge and unimaginable pressure came over him like a tide.
The third floor, compared to the second floor, is like two completely different worlds.
If the second layer of pressure only acts on the surface of the human body, it will bear a huge burden on the external body. So, this third level is completely different. The power at this level actually acts on the inside and outside of the body at the same time.
Not only is the outside still under the same pressure, but even the internal organs of the human body seem to be eroded by this huge force.
Ouyang Ming's expression changed slightly, and he immediately understood why he had to be promoted to the Yin level before he could try to take the path of enlightenment. Because during martial arts training, during the period of strength, only the skin of the body is being exercised, as well as the strength of the bones. In the first two levels, as long as you have enough willpower, you can go all the way. Even if you are weak, you can still climb up.
However, after reaching the third floor, the gravity feels omnipresent.
Especially when the effect of gravity begins to be reflected in the body, that feeling becomes more and more obvious.
Ouyang Ming's body curled up slightly, and a lot of sweat oozed from his forehead and body. Every breath he took was like an old-fashioned bellows constantly pulling, making a sound like a cow's gasp.
If he was just a power cultivator, then when he reached this point, his internal organs would burst and he would vomit blood and die.
However, when one's cultivation reaches the Yin level, the true energy in the body is released and can already protect one's own internal organs.
Slowly, the true energy in the Dantian surged out and entered every part of the body. His bones crackled and his body immediately became much lighter.
After taking a long breath and feeling the true energy flowing through his internal organs, Ouyang Ming began to walk slowly.
And at the next moment, he immediately discovered something that worried him. That is, under this kind of internal and external pressure, when he steps forward, the amount of energy he consumes increases several times.
He was shocked to find that his true energy seemed unable to support him for much longer.
Looking at the road ahead that, although not long, felt like it would never be completed, Ouyang Ming's face showed a hint of distress.
If it were anyone else at this moment, they might already be considering whether to give up. However, there was no second choice before Ouyang Ming.
He did not panic, but calmed down and thought about what those who had climbed the tower did before.
Faintly, he thought of a question. Ni Xueming and others have said that if you want to take the road of enlightenment, you need at least Yin quality cultivation. However, they did not say whether a person with a first-level cultivation of Yinpin could walk on the road to enlightenment.
Reaching out his hand and gently stroking the jade belt around his waist, Ouyang Ming thought for a moment and finally made up his mind.
Since I definitely can't persevere to the end, I have to borrow external help. Taking a deep breath, a powerful infuriating energy suddenly rushed into the jade belt.
The next moment, that very familiar energy immediately returned to him. Ouyang Ming suddenly felt that his body had become lighter, especially in a place surrounded by such gravity. The feeling of being as light as a fallen leaf became more and more obvious and prominent.
The powerful spiritual power burst out instantly, integrating with the blood escape technique.
One step forward!
Ouyang Ming just took a step forward, but with this step, he had already passed the entire third floor and set his foot on the stairs.
※※※※
On the top floor of a tall building, Ni Jingtong slowly looked at the light ahead.
This light is the same as the one at the gate downstairs. Through the changes in the color and level of the light, they can clearly control the movements of everyone on this road to enlightenment.
Just when Ouyang Ming stepped onto the third floor, Ni Jingtong let out a long sigh and suddenly said: "Xue Shu, what kind of cultivation did you have when you were on the road to enlightenment?"
Ni Xue Shu and the other four elders who had reached the pinnacle of Yang-level cultivation maintained the operation of the formation while looking at it in surprise.
After thinking about it, Ni Xue Shu said: "When a disciple takes the road of enlightenment, he has already achieved the first level of Yangpin."
"what about you?"
The four people spoke one after another, and unexpectedly three of them were also at the Yang level, and the only one was at the fifth level of the peak Yin level.
Ni Jingtong chuckled and said, "You have all had experience in passing levels. Do you think that kid can pass the third level?"
Ni Xue Shu and others pondered for a moment and unanimously said: "It's impossible."
Indeed, this third pass is a pass of internal and external oppression. The body's skin, bones, flesh and blood, and even the internal organs, all have to bear tremendous pressure. Although after being promoted to the Yin Grade, when the true energy is stirred up, it can protect the entire body, but the amount of true energy consumed is far beyond what a small first-level Yin Grade can bear.
Even if there is some magic elixir in Ouyang Ming's body that can quickly replenish the energy, compared with the rapid consumption, no elixir can replenish it. Therefore, after careful consideration, they unanimously concluded that Ouyang Ming would never be able to pass the third floor if he relied on his own strength alone.
"Yes, you are right, he will definitely not be able to walk through the third floor." After a pause, he said: "Once he can't hold on, I will go down and take him to the fourth floor."
Ni Xue Shu said in a deep voice: "Ancestor, since you are sure that he cannot pass, why..."
Ni Jingtong was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Because I want to see if this kid can get out of trouble."
Ni Xue Shu was startled and said: "Ancestor, this is impossible."
"Of course it's impossible for ordinary people, but if a little guy can kill Yang-level warriors, he's worthy of my expectations..."
"Kill the Yang-level warrior? Just by him?" Ni Xue Shu and others were stunned for a long time.
Although Ou Yangming didn't seem to lose when he fought with Ni Wangyang just now, they still couldn't believe that Ou Yangming could kill a strong Yang-level man.
You know, defeating and killing are two completely different concepts. What's more, during the fight just now, it was Ni Wangyang who always took the initiative to attack.
However, at the next moment, Ni Jingtong's expression suddenly changed, and even his calm concentration seemed to have lost its effect at this moment.
"This boy really impressed me!"
Ni Xue Shu and others turned around and looked at each other with expressions of disbelief.
The light leading to the fourth floor has changed again. This light can only prove one thing, that is, Ouyang Ming has successfully passed the third floor and stepped onto the steps leading to the fourth floor.
"He, how did he do it?" Ni Xue Shu murmured: "Besides, he is so fast..."
From Ouyang Ming's climb to the third floor, it seemed that he had already walked through this floor in just a few words. At such a speed, it seemed that the internal and external pressure of the third layer had no impact on him at all, and he just passed through it quickly.
At such a speed, even if a few of them were to go down, I'm afraid it would be nothing more than this.
However, they are strong men with peak Yang-level cultivation.
Several elders of the Ni family looked at each other, all puzzled.
"Isn't this light a bit weird?" Ni Jingtong said with a smile: "I want to see how far this kid can go."
Looking at Ni Jingtong's interested gaze, several Ni parents were worried. This rare young man was the key to finding the things passed down by their ancestors. I hope the ancestor will restrain himself and not spoil him.
※※※※
Under the tower, everyone became excited, even Ni Xueming was no exception.
Because they all knew that Ouyang Ming had already passed the third floor and was climbing the stairs to the fourth floor. Only in this way can the brilliance change.
Ni Yinghong said excitedly: "Didn't you say he couldn't make it? Let's see..."
Ni Xueming and Ni Wangyang smiled bitterly at each other and were speechless, but even if they wanted to break their scalps, they couldn't figure out what methods Ouyang Ming used to pass this level.
"Hey." Ni Xueming sighed and said helplessly: "A hero comes from a young age, I am indeed already old."
Ni Wangyang glanced at him angrily and thought to himself, you are old, so am I, a strong man who has been fighting Ouyang Ming for a long time and still can't take him down, am I also old
However, at this moment, someone said: "Hey, why is the color of this light so weird?"
Everyone was startled and stared. But I saw that the color of this brilliance was indeed completely different from before, as if a touch of blood was added to the original color.
Countless people in the family have tried to cross the path of enlightenment in the past generations, but according to records, such a strange light has never appeared. For a moment, everyone had a strange look in their eyes. They looked at each other, feeling at a loss.
Ni Yinghong's eyelids twitched slightly. For some reason, she became extremely worried and even felt a trace of regret.
Wouldn't it be better if I didn't tell Ouyang Ming about this and waited until he continued to grow and reached the peak of Yin or Yang levels
