The white bearded old man nodded, then his spirit was shocked and said, "what Taoist friends said is, I know this very well. I have just learned something in this regard recently. I think Taoist friends dare to break through this ladder just after their cultivation on the fourth floor of the golden elixir. I have to try again this time."
After saying that, the old man's lifeless temperament gradually disappeared, and his momentum became more and more prosperous. At this time, Qingyang saw that the old man's cultivation was much higher than himself. He was actually the peak of the seventh floor of the golden elixir. This cultivation was almost catching up with the powerful Qingmang monk in the falling ghost abyss. It was a bit surprising that he didn't dare to continue to go up.
Seems to have seen the doubts of Qingyang. "When I first ascended the ladder, I only had the cultivation achievement in the middle of the golden elixir. Then I lost several times in succession and failed, so I had a heart demon. When the cultivation achievement broke through the seventh floor of the golden elixir, I tried to climb the top again, but I was on the verge of success because of the influence of the heart demon, and then I didn't dare to try again. It has been 70 or 80 years since then, and I didn't expect that I would delay here so much For a long time, if I don't try again, I'm afraid I'll die in this ladder all my life. "
Qingyang can understand each other's mood. Because of the ladder, he can't go up and down now. He is trapped in this last cave. It doesn't work for him to continue to go up temporarily. There is no way out for him to go back. Although he takes a step back, the ladder has become his obsession. Even if he goes back now, his life will be completely over.
Fortunately, now the white bearded old man has figured it out and is ready to try again. When Qingyang has a rest, they can be a companion. In fact, Qingyang is not sure of climbing the summit smoothly. He is afraid of failure on the way. If someone encourages each other, the success rate may be higher.
After that, Qingyang chatted with the old man and began to close his eyes and recover his strength. This time, Qingyang did not start in a hurry, but rested in the cave for three days. Not only did his physical strength, true yuan and mind recover, but also his state was adjusted to the best in all aspects.
The difficulty of the last section of the ladder is no less than a life and death battle for Qingyang. If it succeeds, it goes without saying that if it fails, it will be impossible to leave the ghost pit in a short time. If you want to have a heart demon like the white beard old man, I'm afraid you will be trapped here for a lifetime. Therefore, Qingyang dare not take the slightest chance. Before that, you should be fully prepared to strive for success.
Three days later, Qingyang and the old man with white beard came to the edge of the cave. The huge suction in the depths of the ghost falling abyss was almost extremely strong. Even if they just stood at the edge of the cave, they felt that there were countless tentacles pulling them outside, and they would be dragged down into the abyss accidentally.
After a little hesitation, the old man with white beard groped and climbed up the iron chain outside the cave. He was afraid that he would shrink back in the middle, so he planned to go up first and let Qingyang block behind him. In this way, there was no retreat. He was completely a posture of becoming benevolent without success.
Standing behind Qingyang, he could see the old man's fear and his persistence when he was forced to a desperate situation. While struggling with the demons, he climbed up carefully. The cultivation of the old man with white beard is much higher than Qingyang. He has accumulated a lot of experience over the years. The only thing he is afraid of is the demons. As long as he can overcome the demons, it is easier to climb the ladder than Qingyang.
A quarter of an hour later, the old man climbed up about a dozen feet, and seemed a little tired. The old man rested with the iron chain for a while, and then climbed up slowly. Qingyang saw that the distance was almost the same. He felt a pot of spirit wine from the drunk immortal gourd, held it in his mouth, and climbed up the iron chain.
Qingyang lowered his head and looked down. His arms were soft and almost slipped from the iron chain. At a depth of more than 9000 feet, just looking down casually could make people dizzy and his legs weak. At this height, the suction of falling into the ghost abyss was so great that the monk could hardly use all his means. He tried his best to stick to it by relying on his own physical strength and perseverance.
The suction force at the bottom of the falling ghost abyss is countless times greater than that below. All the forces act on Qingyang. He can't bear it by relying on his arms alone. He must use his hands and feet together. Even his body must be tightly attached to the iron chain in order to keep from falling. In this state, it's difficult to think about going up. Every inch of Qingyang's movement is extremely difficult, and every foot up is as difficult as heaven.
Looking from a distance, it was like two snails climbing on a thin iron chain. Almost no effect could be seen, but generally speaking, the two people were moving up slowly. In the first half, the old man with white beard was faster than Qingyang, and the distance of more than ten feet gradually became twenty feet, but in the second half, the old man's speed became slower and slower.
When it was only twenty feet from the top, Qingyang had gradually caught up with the old man with white beard. The situation of the other party was very bad. He was tightly wrapped in the iron chain. He didn't know what to do. His face was pale and cold sweat kept coming out. He seemed to be doing a difficult psychological struggle.
Qingyang's situation is not much better. The suction of this section is much greater than that below. He can stick to it all with one strength. If he can give up, Qingyang really wants to directly loosen his arms and fall into the abyss. It doesn't matter if he breaks into pieces, but he knows he can't do so, so he can only support it until now.
The mouthful of spirit wine in his mouth has long been used up. Now he can't spare his hands, and his mind doesn't dare to use it casually. At this time, if he takes out something casually, he will instantly inhale it into the ghost abyss. If he can't replenish the spirit wine, the state of Qingyang will only get worse and worse, but it's better than the white bearded old man. Although he is not as good as the other person in terms of body, he has no problem in terms of mood.
Qingyang waited below for two quarters of an hour. Seeing that he had almost recovered, the old man with white beard still didn't move. If he went on like this, he would be delayed. Qingyang had to say, "Taoist friend, you have stayed here for less than half an hour. You can't wait any longer."
The white bearded old man seemed to shiver all over his body and said, "I can't hold on. It seems that I'm destined to stay in the falling ghost abyss in my life. Taoist friend, I'm going to give up."
Qingyang said, "Taoist friends, don't you feel some loss? It's only twenty feet from the top of the falling ghost abyss. Don't you even have the courage to defeat the last twenty feet?"
The white bearded old man sighed and didn't speak. It's not that he didn't want to continue to go up. It's really that the demon was too powerful, which consumed all the courage he had worked hard to summon up. At this time, don't say to continue to go up, even if he was afraid to go down.
