Chapter 944: Casting Ladders with Spiritual Power (2)
Every monk in the late Nascent Soul stage who is qualified to go to the Holy Mountain for retreat is not a fool. Naturally, he is fully aware of the dangers of entering the Divine Transformation stage.
The importance of the ladder as a medium for impacting the bottleneck is naturally clear. Basically, no monk will ignore its quality at the expense of himself.
Of course, each monk's qualifications, inheritance, and background are different, which also determines that each monk's endurance is completely different.
Even with the same efforts in casting, the strength of each monk's ladder is completely different. Whether he can persist under the backlash of the bottleneck power in the future is still unknown.
Taking Zhao Shoushou as an example, he was equally unsure whether the fourth ladder, after spending countless energy, mana, and essence and blood to take shape, could not collapse under the influence of the backlash.
Before officially starting to attack the bottleneck, the only thing the monks can do is to build every step solidly and with all their heart and soul, and use their best efforts to improve any possibility that may exist in the future.
It is precisely because of the above understanding that Zhao Shoushou is able to continue this boring life but must always be vigilant.
While Zhao Shoushou was working hard, outside a cave in the southwest above the Holy Mountain that was specially designed to provide for monks in the late stage of Nascent Soul to retreat and attack the gods, two monks in the early stage of god transformation were preparing to break through.
"According to records, the monks who have been in retreat in this cave have been in retreat for more than 550 years, but they have never caused any celestial phenomena. Moreover, before the retreat, their remaining lifespan was no more than 500 years at most. They should have been in the cave that has already been transformed."
"You and I have both come from this step, and the direction of the wind is naturally clear. Five hundred and fifty years of time have still not triggered the celestial phenomena. It is doomed to fail, or there is no possibility of success anymore, so why bother here?
Some useless sentiments”
"It is said that after being promoted to a god, you are no longer human. How can you improve your own cultivation under such circumstances? How can you survive the catastrophe and ascend to the spiritual world in the future? It is really boring.
"
"My mission is just to clear the levels."
After the two monks in the early stage of becoming gods had a conversation that was not considered intense, and with the flash of two spiritual lights, the door that had been sealed for more than five hundred years was finally forced open.
Except for a corpse sitting cross-legged on the ground with a painful expression on its face, there were no other signs of life in the cave. It was obvious that the monk had fallen into the cave at some point.
The two monks who were in the early stages of spiritual transformation were obviously very familiar with this kind of thing. They cleared the place in three strokes, waiting for the next retreatant to enter.
The death of a monk who was at the peak of the late Nascent Soul may have caused quite a stir in the outside world, but on this holy mountain, it seemed so desolate as if it was an insignificant matter that was not worth exploring.
"In a hundred years, there may not be a chance to give birth to a fellow Taoist in the Divine Transformation stage, but the two of us need to clear out the remains of at least ten monks in the late Nascent Soul stage. Wouldn't this have an impact on our Taoist hearts?"
"The practice of a monk is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. Where do you get so many emotions?"
After the two monks finished cleaning up, they disappeared on the holy mountain while talking to each other, and they didn't know where they were going.
Not long after the two monks had finished cleaning up, probably only a few years later, a burst of dazzling white light suddenly erupted outside a cave. It was the celestial phenomenon when the monks were about to succeed in attacking the bottleneck.
"It's just a show of weakness. This attempt will definitely end in failure."
"It is quite a pity that this fellow Taoist is still the only one who has caused strange phenomena in the world in the past hundred years. It is a pity that his own foundation is insufficient after all."
The celestial phenomena during the transformation period, especially those facing failure, are not very attractive to these monks. However, once this happens, regardless of success or failure, the five-hundred-year agreement can be broken and extended to seven hundred
Years of time can be regarded as the only preferential treatment.
From the actual situation faced by every monk, if the attack on the divine transformation stage fails, five hundred years or seven hundred years will not make much difference.
Especially after triggering the celestial phenomena, the fusion of one's Nascent Soul and the physical body must have been completed. There is a slight possibility of success in the bottleneck attack, but the follow-up is weak and cannot really break it away.
If it fails in this situation, the Yuanying in the monk's Dantian can no longer be restored. The physical body is greatly strengthened by the blessing of the melted Yuanying, but it cannot achieve a qualitative leap. For any monk, it is a
It's quite an embarrassing existence, and there isn't much life left.
Of course, no matter how many shortcomings there are, since this monk in seclusion has caused changes in the celestial phenomena, there is still a possibility of success.
This is already a great victory compared to other monks who have been in seclusion but have never gained anything. Perhaps before the real success, there is no difference for the ancestors in the transformation stage who practice on the holy mountain.
Naturally, Zhao Shoushou was not clear about the changes in these holy mountains within a hundred years. At this time, he was wholeheartedly building a staircase in his Dantian leading to the bottleneck of the Divine Transformation Stage, and he was still not close to the real impact.
Originally, according to his calculations, fifty years was enough time to complete the construction of the stairs and officially start launching waves of impacts towards the God Transformation Stage.
However, during the actual operation, the difficulty is obviously greater than before, and as the height of the ladder increases, the difficulty also rises linearly.
The formation of the fourth ladder took about a year. Now when the forty-fifth ladder is just a stone's throw away from success, the consumption of mana, spiritual consciousness, and blood essence has increased nearly ten times. A qualified
The formation of the stairs has taken six years.
In addition to pure consumption, as the distance to the bottleneck continues to get closer, it may be that the danger that already exists is perceived, and the counterattack force is in a continuously strengthening trend.
Whenever a staircase is about to take shape, there is always a force that counterattacks and resists from the inside out. At the beginning, because there was no preparation, the two steps that were about to take shape fell short and turned into the existence of mana again.
"The two-hundred-year retreat time was too ideal. Judging from the current situation, regardless of success or failure, it will take at least four hundred years to get a clear answer. No wonder the Holy Mountain sets a certain limit for each monk.
Five hundred years later, it still makes sense." This was Zhao Shoushou's judgment based on his own situation.
Of course, the current main power is still placed on the casting of the stairs. Fortunately, we are now on the holy mountain with sufficient spiritual power supply and richness. Otherwise, this process will be extended indefinitely, and the monk's heritage will also be improved in the process.
The consumption and reduction are obvious. At this time, I can't help but feel lucky for the original choice.
