Yang Di put away the cup of level 10 soul liquid, and then started to pick the last thing.
In this third way, he can choose freely. In this ancient immortal training ground, there is also a holy medicine plant growing here, and the branches extend here. Yang Di can take a section of the holy medicine, and the effect will not be inferior to a few fruits.
But Yang Di gave up this opportunity because he took a fancy to a bead among a bunch of rare treasures.
"Is that the Jade Soul Pearl..." Yang Di lost his voice.
The shimmering jade bead was very extraordinary. Although the fluctuations in the soul were restrained, it still made Yang Di feel an amazing aura.
"That's right, it's the Jade Soul Bead. Don't think about it, brat, just take this!" The ancestor was also excited. This thing is hard to come by, and there is only one here.
Yang Di complied decisively and reached out to grab the jade soul bead. As the saying goes, demand determines value. The significance of this thing to him at the moment is far greater than taking away a holy medicine.
The so-called Jade Soul Bead is actually similar to the relics left by powerful beings, but the Jade Soul Bead is more special. It is the remaining crystallization of the soul cultivator after his death.
Moreover, not all soul cultivators can leave this thing behind after death, the soul needs to be strong to a certain extent.
The biggest use of Yang Di's choice of this jade soul bead is to strengthen his own soul.
This thing and the soul liquid have their own characteristics. The soul liquid is more like the energy that simply strengthens the soul. In addition to that energy, the jade soul beads also have some traces of the former soul cultivators, which is of great benefit to enriching the soul.
.
Yang Di returned home with a full load, and the five people in Guliang looked at his harvest with envy.
However, while being happy for him, Xuelin also persuaded her seriously: "That's almost enough. You just challenged the twelfth level and it's already full of dangers. The next level will be twice as difficult!"
Gu Liang made it clear. In fact, not only her, but everyone was not optimistic that Yang Di could pass the third to last level.
This is not a matter of looking down upon, but rather a reluctance to see tragedy.
Yang Di smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. The next level will be more difficult, but I have also improved in all aspects, and I need to rest for a while before taking it on."
As he spoke, he sat down cross-legged and drank dozens of drops of soul liquid to strengthen his mental state to its peak.
The next level is no small matter. Although Yang Di is determined to go through it, he will not act recklessly.
"Hey!" Looking at his determined look, the girl sighed, knowing that someone was determined to fight.
Her eyes were red and she didn't say anything more, and so did everyone else. The more she said at this time, the more pressure she would put on Yang Di.
Xuelin thought for a while, took out the Holy Fire Token, handed it over and said: "You really don't want your life, take this to break in later."
In fact, in addition to this sacred object from the Skyfire God Clan in the past, Gu Liang also wanted to lend another sacred object to someone.
But it is a pity that that thing has a deep connection with the Spirit Clan. Even within the Spirit Clan, very few people can control it. It is useless for Yang Di to take it.
Seeing this, Xu Bai, Wei Chen, Su Su and others all followed suit, and even the little fat man wanted to hand over the yin and yang plate.
At this point, that's all they can do.
Although there are some female zombie Mansha reasons for someone to do that, everyone knows that it is also related to their future safety. This person is under too much pressure at this time, but he just doesn't say it.
Seeing everyone vying to offer treasures, even the stingiest Master Xu handed over the Sky-Breaking Ring and the golden talisman in one breath. Yang Di was naturally extremely moved.
Because this is definitely not hypocritical, he took these things to break through the border. If he unfortunately died on the way, these treasures would be blocked by the barrier and might not be able to take them back.
But everyone never cared about this, anyone would be moved by this kind of sentiment.
However, although Yang Di is not showy or hypocritical, he does not intend to take away everyone's trump card.
Through the challenge just now, Yang Di has gained some experience. He knows that several of the treasures these guys have are actually not practical.
In the end, Yang Di only took away Xuelin's Holy Fire Token, Xu Bai's golden talisman, and Wei Chen's breast mirror.
"Be careful. If you can't get through, just stop where you are or step back and rest. We are not in a hurry. We can wait for you!" After a long time, Xuelin saw Yang Di getting up and warned her with jealousy.
"Okay!" Yang Di readily agreed, and then stepped into the third to last level of the barrier without looking back.
Under everyone's intense attention, Yang Di found it difficult to even cross the barrier in the third to last level.
This start is very unsettling. The terrifying difficulty of the high-level challenges in the Ancient Immortal Training Ground is by no means undeserved.
"Boss, you must work hard, we all believe in you!" Wei Chen shouted from behind.
Everyone also encouraged Yang Di. Now they no longer care about rational analysis. Since they can't avoid it, they will believe someone without reservation.
After Yang Di passed through the barrier, he went straight to the starting point of the challenge. A stone tripod appeared in front of him.
The stone tripod looked very huge, weighing at least several thousand kilograms. However, Yang Di had to lift it up before he could continue to move forward.
Moreover, under the restrictions of invisible laws, it was impossible for Yang Di to touch the stone tripod with his hands, and he had to release his power to lift it up in the air.
This is the rule of the game here, and it is a terrible challenge for any monk.
After going through the challenge in the previous level, Yang Di has realized the many unspoken rules here.
He knew very well that if he used normal strength, it would be basically impossible to complete such a difficult challenge.
To put it simply, the tripod has a special power that will seriously offset the carrying capacity of conventional power.
For example, if you release a lifting force of 100,000 kilograms from a distance, under normal circumstances outside, it is enough to lift a boulder weighing 100,000 kilograms. But here, the force output of 100,000 kilograms will finally act on the tripod.
The number that produces an effect may be less than one-tenth, that is, less than 10,000 kilograms.
What's worse is that this is just a theoretical calculation. In actual operation, the power output by the monks still has the problem of "weakening after leaving the hand".
Lifting a physical object is very different from exerting force in combat. You definitely cannot rely on that kind of intermittent force. You must maintain the minimum output continuously so that the object will not fall.
Generally speaking, any power output method of a monk will show a weakening trend as the distance increases, but the steady output will weaken even more.
To put it bluntly, it is more laborious to lift objects directly with your hands and to hold objects in the air, and the farther the distance, the more difficult it is.
In the current challenge, Yang Di cannot get within ten meters of the stone tripod. In other words, he needs to perform his power ten meters away.
For ordinary eighth-level monks, a distance of ten meters will roughly double the effect of continuous power output.
This situation coupled with the offset of the power of the stone tripod itself means that if Yang Di lifts an ordinary stone tripod weighing 5,000 kilograms with his bare hands and only needs to output 5,000 kilograms of brute force, under such a challenge, he would need to release more than twenty times.
That is to say, it takes a hundred thousand kilograms of strength to complete this task.
Ordinary eighth-level peak cultivators do not rely on Taoism, and their explosive power is about this level. They can crack the city, crack rocks, and penetrate a two-meter-thick city wall.
But that is explosive power, and the stable output is far from that strong. The sustained and stable output for more than thirty seconds may be less than 20,000 kilograms.
At the same time, if the time requirement for stable output is greatly increased, the effect of continuous power output will also be greatly reduced.
As for the stone tripod in front of Yang Di, in the first stage, Yang Di needs to lift it up and then walk through the passage of about 100 meters.
If the whole process was carried out normally, it would probably take a few minutes. During these minutes, he would need to hold the stone tripod forward without interruption, because according to the rules, the challenge would be considered failed if the stone tripod fell to the ground.
In other words, in these few minutes, if he relied solely on brute force, he would have to maintain an output of 100,000 kilograms of force every second.
Ordinary cultivators at the peak of the Eighth Realm would kneel down when faced with such a request. They are not even qualified to pass this first stage, let alone clear this level.
The first stage is just a warm-up. According to the situation in the previous level, the difficulty gradient will be quite scary, and there will also be various environmental devastations.
Yang Di is not an ordinary monk. He has many methods and possesses a hegemonic body. He can get through this first stage even with brute force.
But Yang Di's goal is to clear the level with all his strength. He has to consider the overall situation. It is undoubtedly unwise to use brute force at this time.
Similarly, although soul power is very convenient when lifting the stone cauldron, it is not smart to use soul power entirely at the beginning. The two need to complement each other, or use a mix and match of the two.
"rise!"
At the moment when the minimum distance was reached, Yang Di shouted lowly, and then quietly released the mixed power from his body. Then the stone tripod slowly lifted off the ground and was lifted up to a height of more than ten meters.
But just when the stone tripod reached the ideal height, it suddenly fell back down. When it fell to more than four meters, Yang Di caught it with all his strength. Then it slipped more than two meters and landed only a few dozen centimeters above the ground.
At a certain height, it is completely stable.
This scene looks very much like Yang Di made a careless mistake, or it was very difficult from the beginning.
In the hall outside the light curtain, Xu Bai and the others were all frightened. Although it was just a false alarm, they all still looked worried and worried.
"Is the difficulty of this level really increased so much? The boss almost collapsed at the beginning. How could this happen?" The little fat man asked nervously.
Although no one wants to say such depressing words, everyone knows in their hearts that if things go so poorly at the beginning, then there will probably be little hope for the next challenge.
Everyone is worried when they think of the terrible and unknown punishment for failure. Unfortunately, someone has already started the challenge and there is no turning back.
But everyone was full of doubts. Xuelin, who had tried her best to dissuade Yang Di from giving up, explained the mystery and comforted everyone: "He is not so unbearable. I think he did it on purpose."
