Chapter 593: Chapter 392: Tathagata Divine Palm? (2)
The data has actually become so exaggerated.
This can truly be said to be an unprecedented record,
even the record created by Liu Dehua’s first live stream on Douyin, which lasted nearly 3 hours with an accumulated viewership of over 100 million, had not surpassed the current real-time online viewership of Wang Ye.
Even Liu Dehua, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, pales in comparison to Wang Ye, highlighting the terrifying influence of this live stream.
Thinking of this, the host felt a surge of joy. If this live stream ends successfully without any mishaps, his career is sure to prosper. So he is extremely nervous about Wang Ye’s state and the upcoming challenge.
However, at this moment, Wang Ye is sitting cross-legged in the manned cabin, practicing the Creation Skill.
Even these two hours have not been wasted; he has been diligently practicing,
yet the viewers in the live stream don’t know what he’s doing sitting there cross-legged.
If they knew he was cultivating, they’d definitely curse him out.
But upon seeing Wang Ye sitting in a posture reminiscent of cultivation scenes in films,
an air of mystery arose in the viewers’ hearts.
[Wang Ye’s posture of conserving energy and building strength is quite mystical.]
[Just like a sage cultivating on a mountain peak; all that’s missing is a flowing Daoist robe.]
[This guy must have practiced Meditation or some kind of Breathing Technique. His sitting posture is too perfect.]
[No way, could he really be cultivating?]
[Oh? It’s quite possible.]
[Doesn’t Wang Ye always claim to be an XX Stage Cultivator?]
[He used to be a Qi Refining Stage Cultivator and recently upgraded to a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.]
[It’s as if he’s really in some kind of cultivation, even advancing in stages.]
[Won’t he be calling himself a Golden Core Stage Cultivator soon, haha.]
[But aside from his extraordinary physique and excellent skills, he didn’t seem to exhibit anything related to cultivation before.]
[Now, it might be the first time that Qi Refining Brother shows us his process of cultivation.]
[Haha, you must be joking, right? You don’t actually believe he’s cultivating, do you?]
[At most, he’s meditating. It’s just a common way to relieve stress. He’s about to face a challenge, so the pressure must be immense. Meditation is just a method for him to adjust his mental and physical state.]
[That makes sense. Athletes like Qi Refining Brother should have learned some meditation techniques. Even if it doesn’t seem useful, meditating to adjust before a match can really put you in a good state.]
[Yeah, I also think it’s likely just meditation.]
[In this situation, some meditation isn’t strange at all.]
[Don’t jump to conclusions so quickly.]
[You’d be shocked if Wang Ye really is cultivating, wouldn’t you?]
[Haha, if he’s really cultivating, I’ll eat this helium balloon.]
The live stream suddenly erupted into a debate.
The host didn’t intervene but rather allowed the audience to discuss in the bullet comments,
because such a debate environment is beneficial for increasing the activity in the live stream and enhancing the algorithm’s recommendation strength.
As the helium balloon continued to ascend, a few minutes later,
it reached an altitude of a thousand meters.
The air pressure at this time,
had already decreased from 1013hPa to 900hPa, a total drop of eleven percent,
If an ordinary person were to be on the helium balloon now, without any protective clothing, their eardrums would have long started to feel slightly painful.
Because the internal pressure in the body and the external air pressure create a contrast,
the fragile ear membrane would naturally be affected first.
Moreover, due to the reduced oxygen content, the breathing rate would increase a little,
but overall, the effect would not be significant and still within the tolerable range for ordinary people.
After all, there are many famous mountain peaks in the country that are higher than this.
However, upon reaching this altitude, the surrounding scenery has gradually become more beautiful.
The outline of cities on the ground has blurred, and surface buildings have shrunk into a checkerboard pattern. The wind outside the basket has transitioned from a low-frequency howl to a high-pitched screech, somewhat noisy.
Due to the professional and expensive cameras they used, with specially adjusted parameters and angles, the scenery captured is very appealing. Even with the live stream compression affecting image quality, the scene still looks as beautiful as a painting.
The bullet comments in the live stream were rolling furiously.
[The scenery is really beautiful now; staying in the live stream was the right choice!]
[Indeed, and with the host continuously explaining and us watching Wang Ye’s state changes, it’s not that boring after all.]
[Although it’s similar to the view from a plane, it’s much better than the view from an airplane window.]
[So beautiful, I’m going to call my friends to watch too.]
··························
All of a sudden.
The live stream’s online audience increased by fifteen percent.
The platform’s total online viewership exceeded three hundred million.
The accumulated viewership surpassed one billion!
Of course, there might be some inflation in these numbers, as they’re live streaming on platforms worldwide, counting accounts rather than real names. Many viewers are watching with multiple devices, so the actual viewership is much lower.
The host also took the opportunity to start explaining some geographical knowledge about this altitude, as well as the changes in air pressure, temperature, and oxygen content.
Under the host’s intense explanation,
another ten minutes went by.
Wang Ye still looks the same as when he first ascended the helium balloon,
sitting cross-legged in the manned cabin "meditating."
And now, the helium balloon has reached an altitude of five thousand meters.
The clouds outside the helium balloon have transitioned from cumulus clouds to cirrus clouds filled with ice crystals, and the wind is constantly howling outside the helium balloon, trying to blow the balloon toward an uncontrollable direction. However, Wang Ye’s designed helium balloon is equipped with advanced equipment specifically to handle such situations, so it remains steady within the designated range.
At this altitude, it is already approaching the height of Mount Everest,
so a regular person reaching this altitude would have a certain probability of encountering life-threatening situations.
But if someone has a strong physique, they might withstand such a harsh environment,
although it wouldn’t be comfortable.
At the very least, breathing would become significantly more labored, visibly difficult.
And the temperature here has already dropped to minus thirty degrees Celsius,
even wearing extremely warm clothing would leave hands and feet numb with cold. But now,
Wang Ye still shows no sign of discomfort,
sitting in the same "meditative" posture.
His breathing remains exceptionally long and deep.
[Whoa, he’s still meditating.]
[Can he really sit still?!]
[This is five thousand meters above sea level!]
[What’s the concept of an altitude of five thousand meters?]
[I don’t understand geography; can someone knowledgeable explain it?]
[It just looks a bit cold, with quite a strong wind. It shouldn’t be too uncomfortable, right? Isn’t Wang Ye dressed quite warmly?]
[Dude, you’re completely ignoring the changes in air pressure and oxygen!]
The host, seeing the topic in the bullet comments, quickly explained:
"Many viewers might not know, but an altitude of five thousand meters is close to the summit of Mount Everest, the world’s highest peak. The temperature here is as low as minus thirty degrees Celsius. Even wearing hard-shell jackets and multiple layers of thermal clothing won’t fend off the cold. But more severe are the changes in air pressure and oxygen. I’m sure many viewers have heard of altitude sickness. Altitude sickness refers to adverse symptoms that may occur when transitioning to high-altitude areas. Ordinary people reaching an altitude of five thousand meters would experience severe altitude sickness, with symptoms like reduced blood oxygen levels, pulmonary edema, and dizziness."
After the host’s lengthy explanation, many viewers in the live stream understood just how deadly this altitude could be. While many might not grasp what certain altitudes feel like, everyone should have heard of Mount Everest and its climbing dangers.
Thus, by linking altitude with Mount Everest’s height, the host could clearly explain the danger and lethality of this altitude.
