Chapter 2900: Pressing Forward with Effort

Ye Liuyun and his clone gathered all their strength, focusing on using Heaven and Earth Power to resist the pressure within this Secret Realm.

However, the speed at which his Heaven and Earth Power increased was not as fast as his walking pace.

So after walking a bit, when he felt he couldn't lift his legs, he had to stop and continue channeling Heaven and Earth Power.

Now, whenever he stops, even his body can't stay upright, so he dares not interrupt his Heaven and Earth Power for even a moment.

"I'm afraid that if I go further and my Heaven and Earth Power stops, I won't even be able to stand!"

Ye Liuyun worried in his heart, yet he did not halt his steps forward.

Since this is cultivation, he must cherish this opportunity and unleash all his potential even in danger.

He believed that since Tang Fengkuan had not discovered his identity, the training plan Tang had devised for him would not harm him.

He had also informed the people inside the Space World to help him track time, reminding him after three months so he wouldn't become too absorbed and forget the time.

He would stop a moment, walk a moment, exerting all his effort to channel Heaven and Earth Power, leaving no capacity to observe the scenery; he only knew to keep moving forward without pause.

He himself didn't even know how long he had walked; he only realized, without noticing, that he had arrived before a small hill, with a winding path leading upward.

Ye Liuyun didn't even use his Divine Sense to gauge the length of this path; he immediately lifted his foot and began climbing step by step.

However, after just taking a step, he was forced to stop again and continue cultivating Heaven and Earth Power.

The Heaven and Earth Power inside this Secret Realm is far greater than elsewhere; even without releasing his Divine Sense, he can easily feel the Heaven and Earth Power here.

Moreover, channeling it is also much easier than outside.

Yet this Heaven and Earth Power is also precisely the source of that oppressive pressure.

This pressure differs greatly from the gravitational suppression he previously experienced; even a strong physical body cannot block it, and only Heaven and Earth Power can resist it.

But this time, as Ye Liuyun took a step up the hill, he felt the Heaven and Earth Power pressing down on him surge dramatically; he stood there momentarily, unable even to lift his legs to retreat.

This formidable Heaven and Earth Power already far surpasses Ye Liuyun's previous strength.

Even though Ye Liuyun stood there trembling, unable to lift his feet, his clone did not hesitate and also stepped forward, sharing his sensation of that mighty Heaven and Earth Power.

When they both sense Heaven and Earth Power together, their Heaven and Earth Power increases even faster.

After a day or two, Ye Liuyun finally felt the pressure on his body ease, and then he continued upward another two steps.

However, the Heaven and Earth Power on this mountain is obviously far greater than on flat ground; after those two steps, he had to stop again.

As Ye Liuyun could sense more Heaven and Earth Power, the time he and his clone spent resting afterward became shorter each time, and the distance they climbed upward each attempt increased considerably compared to before.

Thus, Ye Liuyun and his clone pressed forward with effort, never pausing for a moment.

His Heaven and Earth Power kept rising, but he had no spare capacity to gauge exactly how much it had increased; all his energy was devoted to channeling Heaven and Earth Power to protect himself while he continued climbing the mountain.

On this stretch of road, Ye Liuyun and his clone found the going extremely arduous, with Heaven and Earth Power constantly weighing down on them.

They themselves never retreated a single step; each time they used Heaven and Earth Power to just cancel the pressure, they immediately pressed forward, keeping themselves perpetually in danger to force continual improvement.

Only after he and his clone reached the summit and tried to go further did they notice that Heaven and Earth Power was no longer increasing, at which point he finally caught his breath and looked around.

The peak he stood on was not particularly high; in the distance he could see two more peaks, each higher than the last.

Gazing at the highest peak, Ye Liuyun wondered how much his Heaven and Earth Power would need to increase if he could reach that summit.

Now standing on the summit, he had already grown accustomed to the current suppression of Heaven and Earth Power, and walking was no longer difficult.

However, when he looked down, he couldn't help but feel a bit startled.

Behind this mountain, along the way, there were many fierce beasts blocking the path.

Seeing this, to proceed further he would have to engage those fierce beasts in battle.

He now finds even walking taxing; fighting fierce beasts while unable to employ any other power, if he continued like this, he would likely be devoured outright by the beasts.

He and his clone exchanged glances, both showing hesitation in their eyes.

But soon, their gazes grew resolute again.

"Forward, fortune is sought in danger.

Our present achievements have all been won from peril!"

Ye Liuyun and his clone said that, then took the lead descending the mountain.

But what he didn't expect was that, as soon as he stepped down, his body suddenly felt much lighter.

The Heaven and Earth Power weighing on him had actually decreased.

"Huh?"

His clone likewise followed immediately, also sensing that the Heaven and Earth Power pressing on them was indeed lessening.

They took a few more steps downward to test, and indeed, the lower they went, the less Heaven and Earth Power weighed on them, making their movements ever easier.

"Good thing we came down, otherwise this opportunity would have been wasted!"

Ye Liuyun remarked with feeling.

Given this reduction in pressure, when they encounter the fierce beasts they will truly be able to fight freely.

However, they two are still uncertain whether their Heaven and Earth Power is sufficient.

Yet Ye Liuyun and his clone still did not use their Golden Pupils to inspect the beasts' realms; they simply proceeded down resolutely.

Upon encountering the first fierce beast, neither of them thought to use any other power; they both channeled Heaven and Earth Power to the fullest and threw a punch.

With a "whoosh," they both felt that the Heaven and Earth Power they had mobilized, as they threw their punches, was expelled outward together.

Even before the punch landed on the beast, smiles appeared on both of their faces.

"It has increased so much!"

The clone immediately began communicating with Ye Liuyun's main body through the Sea of Consciousness.

"Yeah, really unexpected!"

Ye Liuyun likewise sighed with amazement.

The two of them became so excited that they even overlooked the fierce beast opposite them.

Their Heaven and Earth Power now is at least three or four times greater than before.

Just now Liang Xue and the others told them that only one and a half months had passed.

With such a short time and such a great harvest, how could they not be excited?

"Boom!"

Then, a muffled boom came from their two strikes, pulling their attention back onto the ferocious beast.

The beast blocking them had just been sent flying by their joint attack.

However, the beast wasn't seriously injured.

"Come on, give it your all!"

Ye Liuyun immediately focused his attention with his clone, fully drawing on Heaven and Earth Power to blast the ferocious beast.

The ferocious beast lunged at them several times, engaging them in close combat; occasionally it struck them with a claw, but they both held firm, fighting to the death without yielding.

Finally they knocked the beast to the ground and beat it to death with Heaven and Earth Power.
