274: Gravity Mystery
Could it be that reaching a height of a hundred zhang would cause such immense pressure and gravity?
And for every zhang climbed, the gravity would increase by ten thousand catties?
A myriad of doubts and thoughts surfaced in Chu Ying's mind. To resolve these, he continued to climb without a change in expression.
This posed no difficulty for him, nor was he afraid of falling.
Above him, the nearest Cultivator from Reincarnation Valley was at approximately one hundred and thirty zhang high.
If Chu Ying's guess was correct,
then at one hundred and thirty zhang high, the gravity should be four hundred thousand catties!
When Chu Ying climbed another zhang, reaching one hundred and two zhang high, his expression was quite something, filled with surprise.
Because it wasn't the one hundred and twenty thousand catties of gravity he had imagined; it seemed there was no change, or perhaps only a slight increase that was imperceptible.
“Is it an irregular change? Or have I not discovered the pattern of the gravity increase?”
Thinking this, Chu Ying decided to continue climbing.
He actually felt his original guess wasn't very reliable.
If after one hundred zhang high, for every zhang climbed, the gravity increased by ten thousand catties, then wouldn't the gravity at the top of this Myriad Zhang Cliff be close to ten million catties?
Who could withstand such gravity?
Even he himself relied on the hundredfold amplification of the Dou Zi Magic Verse to wield such power, let alone others.
Chu Ying climbed rapidly without any pause, ascending directly to one hundred and twenty-eight zhang high in one go!
Because Chu Ying discovered that the speed at which gravity increased was related to his climbing speed!
The faster he climbed, the less he cared about the gravity, and the more rapidly the gravity increased.
Crack!
At this moment, above Chu Ying, at the one hundred and thirty zhang high mark, a Cultivator who was slowly climbing slipped, and a small piece of gravel fell.
The Cultivator cried out in alarm, quickly gripped the rock wall, stabilized his body, and almost collapsed from exhaustion.
But when he subconsciously looked down, he was horrified to find there was someone below him!
“You, who are you?”
This Reincarnation Valley Cultivator was greatly startled. When did someone else climb up?
Chu Ying grinned, revealing a set of white teeth.
“I'm also here to climb the mountain. Want to come along?”
His smile appeared so wicked in the Cultivator's eyes that the Cultivator couldn't help but shout upwards:
“Leader of Blood Spring! Someone!”
Hearing his voice, the other Reincarnation Valley Cultivators above him stopped and looked down, indeed discovering Chu Ying's unfamiliar face.
“You're from the outside?! Are you the Cultivator who massacred Ninefold Blades and Spring Breeze Forest?!”
A Reincarnation Valley Cultivator with excellent physical strength frowned, his face grim.
“Heh, it seems you know. I didn't expect you Reincarnation Valley to run so fast!”
Chu Ying's expression was calm; he showed no panic even after being discovered.
“Hmph! You're really courting death. Do you think you can still be arrogant after coming to this Hundred Refinements Thousand Zhang Cliff?”
The Cultivator from before snorted coldly. He took out a cobblestone-sized rock from a cloth bag hanging at his waist and fiercely shot it towards Chu Ying below.
It seemed to have a peculiar gravity enhancement, as well as the Cultivator's own strength.
The power carried by this rock was actually immense, like a falling meteor.
Chu Ying frowned, raised his hand, clenched his fist, and a black “ Swastika” light flashed, forcefully shattering the rock.
The moment it shattered, Chu Ying perceived that the destructive power brought by this rock alone exceeded one million catties of strength!
Seeing that Chu Ying had actually shattered the rock, that Cultivator was very surprised.
“You really are courting death. I originally wanted to leave you a way out.”
Chu Ying narrowed his eyes and began to leap rapidly on the rock wall, yet he clung firmly to the wall like a spider or gecko, unable to fall.
“All of you, attack!”
The Cultivator's expression changed slightly, and he immediately shouted.
He was not the Leader of Blood Spring of Reincarnation Valley; their Leader of Blood Spring climbed higher and further.
But now that an enemy had appeared, they obviously had to deal with him first.
These Reincarnation Valley Cultivators surprisingly all carried such small, not-so-large rocks with them, but on this high cliff, they could become an unfailing killing weapon!
If it were anyone else, they would probably face these seemingly primitive rock attacks and either have their bodies pierced and die on the spot, or be severely injured and fall off the cliff.
“Hmph!”
Chu Ying's eyes turned cold. At this moment, with the Dou Zi Magic Verse activated, he directly unleashed the power of the Myriad Extremes, slamming a palm upwards.
This palm was like a hurricane and tidal wave crushing down, instantly causing the Reincarnation Valley Cultivators on the cliff face to stagger, unable to even grip the rock wall firmly. Some were shaken so much that their tiger's mouths went numb, and they involuntarily let go.
“No! Save me!”
“Save me! I don't want to fall!”
Some screamed in terror, but others were far from possessing Chu Ying's immense strength and calm demeanor.
They themselves could barely hold on to the cliff face, so how could they reach out to pull up those who were falling?
The scene instantly became chaotic. Some were still throwing stones at Chu Ying, but this was nothing to Chu Ying.
He wouldn't even be harmed in the slightest if he took the hits head-on.
However, Chu Ying chose to jump down proactively.
Because Qiu Lingsu and Yu Chuyue were still below, the commotion happening here, and the falling stones, might injure them.
Chu Ying needed to go down and look after them, and he could also bring the two of them up together.
Bang!
Qiu Lingsu and Yu Chuyue at the base of the cliff had been looking up.
Soon after, the two women saw stone fragments falling from above, followed by more small stones, none larger than a fist, and then several figures plummeted, accompanied by terrified cries for help.
Qiu Lingsu and Yu Chuyue instinctively retreated to avoid the stones.
Then Chu Ying descended, landing steadily, even faster than the Reincarnation Valley Cultivators who had accidentally lost their grip and fallen.
“Chu Dage, are you alright?”
Qiu Lingsu's face lit up with joy, and she hurried forward to ask.
Thud!
Landing sounds followed one after another, accompanied by painful wails.
The ribs, spine, and internal organs of the physically weak Cultivators were broken and ruptured, clearly audible.
Chu Ying glanced at the few people, shaking his head.
“There's something wrong with this cliff. There's gravity and pressure above. The gravity changes. There's no gravity before reaching one hundred zhang high, but once you reach one hundred zhang, there will be a hundred thousand catties of gravity, and then the faster you climb, the more the gravity will increase.”
Chu Ying hadn't fully grasped the pattern within, and coincidentally, there were a few unfortunate souls here.
He walked forward and spoke indifferently: “If you don't want to die, tell me what's strange about this cliff.”
These few people had fallen from a height of over one hundred zhang. Although heavily injured, they weren't directly killed by the fall.
As Chu Ying spoke, he stepped on one of them, causing the person to gasp for breath, their bones shattering, and letting out an animalistic howl.
“I'll talk, I'll talk! Mercy, mercy!”
The person howled in terror and pain.
Chu Ying released his foot, his expression cold.
As for the other few, they were also struggling to get up at this time, but it was extremely difficult; they couldn't even stand steadily.
