Xia Zhiqing was the first to reach Bai Li Hongzhuang's side, but when she stepped onto the twenty-first level of the staircase, she noticed a sudden increase in pressure. Even her hand, which was reaching towards Bai Li Hongzhuang, felt a slight downward pull.
"Why did the pressure on this level suddenly increase so much?" Xia Zhiqing's face was filled with surprise. Under this pressure, she felt her body become sluggish and slightly uncomfortable.
Upon hearing Xia Zhiqing's voice, Gong Shaoqing and the others were mentally prepared, so their bodies didn't suddenly sink when they ascended.
"Based on my judgment, it seems that the pressure on the ladder increases every twenty levels. It will be extremely difficult to reach the top," Bai Li Hongzhuang calmly spoke.
Upon hearing her words, everyone couldn't help but look up at the top of the ladder. Previously, when they stood at the bottom of the ladder, they thought that climbing these one hundred levels wouldn't be too difficult for them, and it would just take some time to reach the top.
Now it seemed that everything wasn't as simple as they had thought. It was likely that it would take much longer to reach the top.
"Could it be that only one person can reach the top of the one hundred levels?" Yuan Xiaoman tilted her head and looked at the ladder above, expressing her doubts.
Bai Li Hongzhuang smiled faintly, "I don't know. We can only do our best to reach higher. The energy on this level is even more abundant than the previous twenty levels. If we can reach higher levels, the energy will be even more abundant, and it will greatly benefit us to cultivate there for a while."
With Bai Li Hongzhuang's words, Xia Zhiqing and the others snapped back to reality. They hadn't noticed this point before.
"The energy density here is about three times that of the outside!" Gong Shaoqing's eyes were filled with amazement. With such dense energy, if they could cultivate here for a while, they would likely make rapid breakthroughs.
"Then let's hurry up and go up!" Bai Junyu smiled and said.
They never expected that the final inheritance left by the owner of the ruins would be so majestic. This staircase was truly an extraordinary existence.
Bai Li Hongzhuang's gaze fell on Mo Yunjue, filled with worry and concern.
"Mo Yunjue, your injuries are very serious, and this pressure will have a certain impact on your condition. In my opinion, you should find a level of pressure that you can bear and sit down to recuperate. Under such dense energy, the speed of your recovery will also increase."
Listening to Bai Li Hongzhuang's words, Mo Yunjue nodded slightly and said, "I understand."
Seeing that Mo Yunjue took her words to heart, Bai Li Hongzhuang felt somewhat relieved.
With Mo Yunjue's injuries, it would be impossible for him to recover without resting for at least half a month. Although they didn't know how long they would stay on this staircase, as long as they could cultivate here for a few more days, it would be great for them.
Bai Li Hongzhuang and the others continued to move upward. As the pressure gradually increased, the energy within everyone's bodies was squeezed out. Beads of sweat appeared on the foreheads of the practitioners, indicating the difficulty of their ascent.
Above them, some practitioners had already stopped and started resting, while others rested for a while before continuing to climb.
When Bai Li Hongzhuang and the others reached the fortieth level, the pressure increased again. Each step became as heavy as a thousand pounds, making it extremely challenging.
