After hearing Tunri's words, Ye Li also understood the key to this test.
The mountain wall pressing down on his head at this moment was indeed pressing hard against his limit.
Maintaining this extreme state made Ye Li sweat profusely.
If he slackened his strength in the slightest, the mountain wall would immediately crush him completely. Once his body could not maintain its current pillar-like structure, he would no longer be able to exert his strength to the maximum and would be crushed into a pool of meat paste by the mountain wall in a matter of moments.
He is now once again on the line between life and death. In the extreme state, he feels that the power of the mountain wall is not only weighing on his body, but directly weighing on his spirit.
At this time he no longer dared to release his spiritual power. All his energy was completely concentrated on himself, supporting his body and maintaining the output of maximum power.
Just as Tunri had said before, with every breath, the pressure from the outside world was forcing him to give up.
He unconsciously tried to estimate whether he could rush out of the platform before the cliff fell if he let go.
However, his reason immediately drew his attention back. He knew that he would never be able to rush out. Once he compromised with the idea of "giving up" and gave up to try other methods, he would be doomed to die here.
A lifetime is nothing more than a battle between life and death. Ye Li is now caught between life and death, with one foot on the side of life and the other foot on the side of death.
This made every breath he took seem as long as a lifetime.
The powerful body that was as strong as a monster had begun to tremble, which was a sign that his strength was running out.
Ye Li could hear the friction sound made by each of his bones pressing against each other.
He didn't know how long the pressure of the mountain wall would last. The pressure on his body was clamoring for him to give up every moment. The pain in his muscles and bones, as well as the crushing of his willpower, made him start to have hallucinations.
"Hold on, Ye Li, you are like the earth now, the same inside and out, calm and unmoving."
The sound of Tunri rang in Ye Li's ears, dispersing the illusion in front of his eyes slightly. At this moment, his mind seemed to see through the deepest part of the earth.
An extremely huge, ochre-colored mysterious rune that seemed to have remained unchanged for eternity appeared before his eyes.
Somehow, Ye Li felt an extremely heavy and stable power from this rune, as if it could carry the power of all the mountains, lakes, seas, cities and living beings in the world.
Among the Five Elements, fire cannot move the earth, wood cannot move the earth, metal cannot move the earth, and water cannot move the earth. All things created by the Five Elements are supported by the earth created by the Earth Element.
At this moment, Ye Li suddenly realized that the earth element is the basis of the five elements, and the forces of the other four elements are all dependent on it.
The moment he understood, his body stopped shaking, and his spiritual power, physical body, and spiritual essence seemed to have merged into one, becoming extremely solid and heavy.
The three controlled his body at the same time, continuously exerting his maximum strength, and no longer wavered in the slightest due to external pressure.
His sea of consciousness actually increased by another tenth at this moment, and the spiritual energy in his dantian became even more viscous.
After holding out for about five more breaths, the pressure from the mountain wall finally slowly disappeared, and the stone wall on the top of the cave began to rise, returning to normal.
After losing the external pressure and stimulation, Ye Li quickly broke away from his previous state. His legs went soft and he knelt on the ground.
His clothes had already been soaked with sweat, and his muscles began to ache sharply.
Ye Li knew that continuously maintaining the extreme state had caused countless tiny cracks and injuries to his body.
However, these cracks and wounds were deep within his muscles and bones and could not be seen from the outside.
Raising his trembling right hand, Ye Li took out a bottle of healing pills from his arms, took out a pill and swallowed it.
His natal talisman quickly absorbed the medicinal power of the elixir, and then spit out even more refined medicinal power, which spread to every part of his body.
The extremely pure medicinal power quickly began to repair those cracks deep inside his body that were so tiny that they were almost invisible.
The warm feeling brought by the medicine made Ye Li almost moan in comfort, and the severe pain all over his body was finally greatly relieved.
He had been lying on the ground for nearly half an hour. When the effect of the medicine in his body was no longer effective, he took a second healing pill and his injuries were basically fully recovered.
Standing up, Ye Li moved his body a little. He found that his physical strength seemed to have grown significantly again, and he had reached the level of a demon beast in the late Lingwu period.
After all, long-term nourishment of spiritual energy will increase the physical strength of even an ordinary talisman master. Ye Li reached the level of a demon beast in the middle stage of the Spirit Mist period a long time ago. Now, after being broken and rebuilt, his body has completely surpassed its previous physical strength after being fully damaged and repaired.
Feeling the progress of his spiritual essence, spiritual power, and physical body, Ye Li could not help but sigh and said: "Senior Tunri, thanks to you for teaching me the correct way to pass the Earth Trial, I have not only grown in my spiritual realm, but also made considerable progress in my actual strength.
This Five Elements Trial Ground is really extraordinary. Its design is so ingenious that it can allow people to comprehend the spirit of the origin of the Five Elements. "
Tunri nodded and said, "Of course, the Yin Yang Five Elements Sect was ranked higher than our Jinshan Sect at the time, and was considered one of the top five powerful sects in the world. It is natural that they can build such a trial field.
Okay, hurry up and go. There are three more tests waiting for you. If you can pass all five tests, even if there is nothing else here, you will have gained a lot. "
Ye Li also nodded in agreement.
After recovering his strength, he planned to leave the platform and continue moving forward. The moment he stood up, bursts of explosions were heard from the cave far behind him.
Ye Li listened carefully and his expression changed slightly, because he had already figured out that the explosions seemed to come from talismans.
This means that there are still people fighting behind him, and judging from the overlapping explosions, there is probably more than one person behind him.
"It seems that someone else has come in here. Ye Li, you have to be careful. I will not be in the state of cultivation during this period. You can take out the Liuyanyan Suanlu and use it at any time."
Tunri also heard the noise behind and said to Ye Li.
Ye Li nodded. He understood in his heart that anyone who came to explore the ruins, as long as they were from different teams, would be considered an enemy by default, because the resources that might exist here were limited and no one would be willing to share them with others.
Ye Li was alone, and he knew that if a team came up behind him, he would be at a disadvantage.
