Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards-Chapter 129 - 96: Breaking Through the Two Formations with Hundredfold Critical Strike

Chapter 129: Chapter 96: Breaking Through the Two Formations with Hundredfold Critical Strike

Long stone steps stretched out above, shrouded in heavy mist, leading all the way to the peak of a mysterious giant mountain.

Upon the stone steps, numerous cultivators were climbing arduously, appearing like ordinary mortals.

The Qi Refining Disciples of both sects engaged in mutual slaughter, with screams and curses incessant, yet the Foundation Establishment cultivators climbed silently, ignoring the brutal killings among their disciples, even the Sect Leaders did the same.

For they knew that at this moment, it was truly difficult to suppress such phenomena. After all, now they couldn’t use mana, solely relying on past authority was indeed somewhat insufficient to conceal the blood feuds, fear, and excitement among the disciples.

As time passed, Qi Chuan noticed that, among the remaining six Qi Refining Disciples ahead of the many Foundation Establishment cultivators, only three were left.

Moreover, these three were now even closer to the Foundation Establishment cultivators, himself included. If this continued, it was likely that these three would be overtaken by the Foundation Establishment cultivators.

"Does this mean that although mana cannot be mobilized, and the Profound Weight Array adjusts the gravity multiplier according to the physical strength of different cultivators, there should still be some invisible advantage for the Foundation Establishment Realm over the Qi Refining Realm, so the Qi Refining Disciples ahead are gradually being caught up by the Foundation Establishment cultivators?"

Qi Chuan pondered secretly in his heart.

If that were the case, then perhaps there were some techniques worth exploring.

He just needed to figure out why the Foundation Establishment Realm had an advantage over the Qi Refining Realm, then exploit and expand this advantage. Maybe, he could surpass the other Foundation Establishment Elders, even the Sect Leaders.

However, to find the essence of this advantage and utilize it was extremely difficult. After all, until now, he basically had no idea where to make a breakthrough.

But again, what was difficult for others, although difficult for Qi Chuan as well, should still be traceable with the Hundredfold Critical Strike.

"Let’s explore using methods like brainstorming and random trial and error..." Qi Chuan thought to himself.

Immediately, he began adjusting his climbing posture, rhythm, stride angle, speed, frequency, and so on, while the Divine Soul attentively observed the impact of these adjustments on his climbing speed, effort, and endurance.

This adjustment certainly had a significant impact on his ability to ascend the stairs.

After all, even for ordinary people climbing a mountain, using different methods and rhythms results in varying times and energy consumption for reaching the same height and difficulty.

More importantly, Qi Chuan used his Foundation Establishment Divine Sense to closely monitor the subsequent effects of adjusting his climbing method, summarizing and trying to derive a better and faster climbing method.

Soon after, some insights popped up in Qi Chuan’s mind, and according to his thoughts, he adjusted his climbing posture and rhythm once again.

Yet even so, after the change, there was still no long-term improvement in his climbing speed.

However, a line of text appeared before his eyes:

[You are within the Spirit-Banning Array and Profound Weight Array, climbing arduously, closely observing your physical movements, summarizing, adjusting, attempting to find a more convenient and faster way to ascend, triggering the Hundredfold Critical Strike, you’ve gained considerable insight into climbing under the current conditions.]

In an instant, numerous understandings of climbing emerged in Qi Chuan’s mind.

After absorbing them, a hint of understanding appeared in Qi Chuan’s eyes.

Subsequently, his climbing rhythm, body posture during the process, even his breathing rhythm, suddenly changed, becoming markedly different from before.

With such changes, Qi Chuan’s climbing speed suddenly quickened significantly, somewhat surpassing Yun Qingyue beside him, showing signs of closing in on the Foundation Establishment Elders ahead.

"This speed, although it’s much faster, can still be improved further!"

However, even so, Qi Chuan was not completely satisfied, realizing that there was still vast room for improvement in his climbing method.

Immediately, he continued climbing, while using the Hundredfold Critical Strike, to adjust his climbing method.

If this continued, Qi Chuan thought he might fully harmonize with these stone steps, the gigantic mountain beneath them, as well as the Spirit-Banning Array and Profound Weight Array enveloping the mountain, finding the best and fastest way to climb.

"What’s going on, how has the speed of that Wind Moon Sect’s Foundation Establishment Elder suddenly increased so much, and it seems climbing has become a lot easier?"

At the same time, the sudden increase in Qi Chuan’s speed was also noticed by some Foundation Establishment Elders from the Celestial Soul Hall ahead and behind, immediately arousing much suspicion. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

After all, under the influence of the Spirit-Banning Array and Profound Weight Array, everyone’s climbing speed was about the same, even compared to the Qi Refining Disciples, there was only an extremely slight advantage. How did this early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator suddenly speed up and make it seem easier? It was completely unreasonable.

"Why did Qi Chuan’s speed suddenly increase so much?" The Foundation Establishment Elders of the Wind Moon Sect also noticed Qi Chuan’s anomaly, equally puzzled.

Although unlike the Celestial Soul Hall’s Foundation Establishment cultivators, they did not harbor animosity toward Qi Chuan, they were still surprised at his changes. How exactly did Qi Chuan achieve this?
