Chapter 162: Ways to Break the Impasse, the Spirit of the Ladder

"Before, the two paths of force were suppressed, and only the airway could be used. Now only force can be used?" Wu Yi sensed the changes in his body and discovered the test of this swamp.

Wu Yi clenched his fists, activated the blood burning technique to five times, and hit the upper jaw of the giant crocodile that was rushing towards him. The huge giant crocodile was blown away by Wu Yi's heavy punch, and the whole body was hit by Wu Yi under the water. It was five or six feet long, which could be called a giant in the water.

The giant crocodile was knocked away by Wu Yi's punch, but it was huge and had thick skin and flesh. Although it hurt, it did not suffer much damage. It rolled over and rushed towards Wu Yi with its head shaking and tail wagging.

If this giant crocodile was only equivalent to the initial stage of foundation building in terms of cultivation, it would be easy for Wu Yi to deal with this giant even if the blood burning technique was not activated. In just a few rounds, several of the giant crocodile's sharp teeth were knocked off, and the giant crocodile screamed in pain.

After being beaten to pieces by Wu Yi, the giant crocodile did not dare to continue to provoke Wu Yi. It used its hind legs to leap into the swamp, and its huge body soon sank into the seemingly hard mud.

Wu Yi was unable to stop it, and watched the giant crocodile enter the mud. He did not know what dangers existed under the mud, and his spiritual consciousness could not explore it. If there was any big monster hiding at the bottom, Wu Yi would be in danger.

This mud can isolate spiritual consciousness, and Wu Yi cannot see through it, but this is also related to Wu Yi's spiritual consciousness that can only use strength to cultivate. Otherwise, with his spiritual consciousness condensed by three parallel paths, he might be able to see through the mud.

Originally, Wu Yi was going to subdue this giant crocodile as a mount. After all, the feeling of exhaustion in the yellow sand was too painful before, and having a mount could save him a lot of energy.

But the giant crocodile escaped too quickly. Wu Yi sighed and gave up the idea. He looked around. Behind him was dry land, and in front of him was an endless swamp. The farther he went, the wider the water surface became, and the fewer small pieces of land floated out of the water. From time to time, huge figures appeared and disappeared under the water. They should be underwater giants like the giant crocodile.

Why did this sect set up such a simple mental test? Wu Yi shook his head. There was no interference from the yellow sand boundary before. Obviously, only by moving forward to the wide water area could he find a way out.

Taking a step, Wu Yi left the hard land under his feet and entered the swamp. The first step almost made Wu Yi sink. Wu Yi did not expect that the swamp was so soft. Fortunately, he used his strength in time and was as light as a swallow. He had a mud drift in the swamp.

There were indeed many giants hidden under the swamp, such as leeches as big as an adult's arm. If they fell on the body, they could extract most of the blood in an instant; there were also giant pythons as thick as buckets, and their mouths could swallow three Wu Yis together.

There are more monsters, but Wu Yi has only met some in the early stage of foundation building, and he doesn't know if there will be more powerful ones in the future.

Wu Yi didn't spend time entangled with these monsters. He tried to capture a demon fish as a mount, but the demon fish fought desperately and almost threw Wu Yi into the mud several times. The spiritual consciousness told Wu Yi that there was a great danger in the mud, so he no longer forced the demon fish to be a mount and let it escape.

Because he had practiced nine movements before, Wu Yi could use every bit of strength freely. After three days, he was still energetic and floated all the way here, and he didn't consume much energy.

The real energy consumption was still in avoiding the monster's attack. The energy spent on the journey was negligible, which was a world of difference from the hardship in the yellow sand before.

On the second day, Wu Yi encountered a monster in the middle stage of foundation building, and on the third day, he encountered a monster in the high stage of foundation building, which was the same as Wu Yi's initial speculation.

The reason why Wu Yi is still so relaxed is that these monsters have low intelligence and will make a lot of noise before attacking. Wu Yi avoided them early and did not entangle with them, moving towards the wide water surface.

Now, another dark portal appeared in front of Wu Yi. He crossed a realm every three days, and it was so easy. It greatly strengthened Wu Yi's confidence. The irritability in his heart caused by the difficulty in moving in the yellow sand realm before dissipated a lot.

"Next, it should be a world where only the law can be used for cultivation." Wu Yi looked at the portal in front of him and strode into it.

"Hu——" There was a whirring sound of wind in his ears, and the clouds and water vapor disappeared quickly in Wu Yi's eyes. After entering this realm, Wu Yi actually appeared directly in the sky and was now falling rapidly.

"This test is really amazing." Wu Yi's spiritual consciousness hooked the clouds around him and temporarily slowed down his falling speed.

Wu Yi only learned how to fly with the air, and he could only use the magic to cultivate. In addition to the majestic spiritual consciousness, he could not mobilize a single bit of spiritual energy, which means that Wu Yi is now facing the tragedy of falling to death.

The wind generated by the rapid fall passed through Wu Yi's sleeves and poured into his body. If it were an ordinary person, he would be terrified and at a loss at this time, but the more Wu Yi was at this time, the calmer he became, and his mind was turning rapidly.

Every minute and every second was extremely precious at this time. Although he could not see the ground now and it was still a while before he fell to death, he was not out of danger.

The first thing Wu Yi did was to look inside his sea of ​​consciousness to see if the stone tablet world existed. As he expected, in addition to the majestic spiritual consciousness in the sea of ​​consciousness, the stone tablet world that originally stood in the center had disappeared. Otherwise, Wu Yi could have sent out a few ghosts to hold him up. The ghosts were uncertain and wandering, which could relieve Wu Yi's current crisis.

This ladder deprives the monks of all external objects they carry, and the monks can only rely on themselves to pass the various tests. Although the stone tablet world was visualized by Wu Yi, and most of the ghosts in it were also visualized by Wu Yi, they are still external objects after all, and Wu Yi cannot use them.

In addition, Wu Yi cannot use the colorful pheasant scissors, otherwise flying with a sword is also a good choice.

The absence of the stone tablet world does not mean that Wu Yi has no way out. At worst, he can visualize another one.

Yes, visualize another one, this is Wu Yi's way to deal with it.

Then, Wu Yi used his spiritual consciousness to pull the clouds around his body to slow down his descent, while following the memory of "Fengdudu Lu", he visualized the stone tablet in his sea of ​​consciousness.

After a cup of tea, the prototype of a stone tablet world appeared in Wu Yi's sea of ​​consciousness, hazy and unclear. After an hour, the general appearance of the stone tablet appeared, and the cold air slowly emerged around the stone tablet.

Wu Yi gathered these cold airs and planned to visualize a ghost directly.

Half an hour later, the first ghost appeared. Wu Yi ordered the ghost to pull his clothes to slow down his descent, but one ghost could not drag Wu Yi, so Wu Yi did not stop visualizing the ghost's actions. He visualized three ghosts in a row, plus the previous one, a total of four.

The four ghosts used their hands and feet to finally stop Wu Yi's falling trend. Wu Yi stood in mid-air, the crisis was resolved, and then he discovered a very serious problem. Where is the exit? It was the same all around, unlike the previous test of the mind.

Above Wu Yi's head, above the layers of cloud shadows, an inexplicable wave slowly emerged. The surrounding clouds were affected by this wave and gathered and changed into a human shape. Except for the eyes that were clearly visible, there was no mouth or nose.

This is the spirit of the ladder. Even if the ladder is related to the founder of the sect, it is essentially a Taoist tool. It is not surprising that there is a tool spirit, just like the spirit of Bai Ze and the Sutra Pavilion.

The spirit of the ladder looked at Wu Yi below, and the pupils that were calm and peaceful had a ripple.

The three realms that Wu Yi encountered since he stepped onto the Heavenly Ladder correspond to the Qi Dao, the Strength Dao, and the Law Dao. The purpose of setting up this test is to let the disciples understand that they are not proficient in those areas of cultivation and need more training.

Just like the reason why Wu Yi passed the second level easily is because he has practiced nine movements and can skillfully use every bit of strength in his body.

The reason why he encountered setbacks in the first level is also related to this. In the end, Wu Yi also learned how to improve his spiritual energy utilization rate and reduce ineffective use in the first level.

According to this test purpose, Wu Yi should also improve his ability to use spiritual consciousness in the third level, and involve the surrounding clouds to make a cloud bed or other things to offset the gravity of its fall.

But Wu Yi did not come like this at all. He jumped out of this obstacle directly and started a new business, which was even simpler and faster. It was only a few hours since Wu Yi entered this world, and he had passed the test of this world.

This is a rule breaker, or a person who exploits loopholes in the rules. No wonder he attracted the attention of the spirit of the Heavenly Ladder.

The spirit of the ladder stared at Wu Yi, but Wu Yi knew nothing about it. However, the black beetle hidden in the bead on Wu Yi's waist felt the spying, shook its body, and hid in the flames to prevent the spirit of the ladder from seeing it.

After a few breaths, the spirit of the ladder slowly disappeared, and a door appeared under Wu Yi's feet.

Seeing the door appear, Wu Yi couldn't help but exclaimed: "I've passed the level, it's too easy."

In order to prevent any abnormality, Wu Yi also sent a shadow clone to investigate, but the shadow clone lost contact with Wu Yi after entering the door. Wu Yi didn't know whether the door was real or fake. For a while, Wu Yi was in a dilemma.

"Forget it, even if it's a trap, I have to go through it." Wu Yi shook his sleeves, let a few ghosts protect him, and cautiously entered the door.

What appeared in Wu Yi's eyes was the white marble bricks, spotless and shining.

So familiar, isn't this the appearance of the ladder? Wu Yi suddenly raised his head and looked back. Below were the disciples who had entered the ladder with him before. They were either deep in thought, or standing still, or moving forward slowly.

Wu Yi turned his head again and looked forward. Although the layers of stairs seemed endless at first glance, he could vaguely see the eaves of the top floor. He saw the end.

The most important thing was that there was no one in front of Wu Yi.

Wu Yi was now the first place.
