Chapter 2905: Chapter 2905
After Tang Fengkuan left, he busied himself with training other disciples.
The final peak was so steep that every step beyond the mountainside felt like scaling the heavens. For most, reaching the summit would take at least a year.
So he wasn’t in a hurry. He planned to check on Ye Liuyun again in three months. Even with Ye Liuyun’s relentless effort, Tang estimated it would take him at least four or five months to reach the top.
But in reality, Ye Liuyun had already ascended halfway up the mountain in less than a month. He was gradually adapting to the pressure of the world’s natural energy, and his ability to harness it grew stronger by the day.
Just as he prepared to climb higher, however, an overwhelming force suddenly pressed down on him, shoving his raised foot back.
"The energy here... it’s repelling us now! If I want to go any higher, I’ll need to channel even more power!"
"Who cares? Let’s push straight to the summit!"
With a word of encouragement from his clone, Ye Liuyun steeled himself and pressed forward against the resistance.
When Tang Fengkuan returned three months later to check on him, his jaw nearly hit the ground.
Ye Liuyun was mere steps away from the peak—just three or four strides, by Tang’s estimation.
"So fast! I almost missed it!"
Stunned, Tang stood frozen in place, waiting to witness Ye Liuyun’s final ascent.
But those last three steps were agonizing.
Even standing still now required Ye Liuyun’s full strength to resist the crushing force from above. Two opposing currents of natural energy clashed violently, canceling each other out.
The power he could currently wield was nearly enough to rival a first-level Unity Realm martial artist. Yet despite that, his feet refused to lift—one wrong move, and he feared he’d lose his footing and be sent tumbling back down.
So he and his clone remained locked in this stalemate, sensing the opposing forces of heaven and earth—they had already stood there for an entire day.
He felt that his own power of heaven and earth had reached a bottleneck. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t increase it even the slightest bit.
*What’s really going on? How can I push my power of heaven and earth further?*
Both he and his clone were racking their brains, trying to figure out how to break through those final steps.
If he were to integrate other forces now, he could easily ascend. But he didn’t even entertain that thought. Since this was training, there *had* to be a way—he just hadn’t found it yet.
Inside his spatial world, everyone was also brainstorming ideas to help them. Even those at the Unity Realm were cultivating the power of heaven and earth, attempting to find a method for Ye Liuyun.
Suddenly, Li Daoyuan asked Ye Liuyun, “Those at the Unity Realm have already grasped the *momentum* of heaven and earth. Could it be that the final steps require comprehending the grand momentum of this power, rather than just accumulating it bit by bit?”
He proposed this idea because, if he wanted to advance further, he would need to comprehend more of the *momentum* of heaven and earth—not just its raw force.
Ye Liuyun and his clone had an epiphany. *As expected of a second-level Unity expert—only someone like him could think of this approach!*
Without even testing it, they already felt this line of thinking was correct.
Immediately, they stopped focusing solely on the clash between the two opposing forces and instead began observing the grand *momentum* of the heaven and earth power pressing down from above.
From this broader perspective, everything became clearer. Waves of heaven and earth energy converged here, forming a surging tide that continuously collided with Ye Liuyun’s own power.
*This overwhelming tide... could this be the so-called grand momentum?* they both wondered.
Then they looked at their own power—mere isolated streams gathered around them, foolishly standing still, waiting to be struck.
*We need to make our power flow, using its own motion to clash against the opposing force!*
Ye Liuyun and his doppelganger quickly confirmed their strategy and immediately began mobilizing the surrounding natural energy, setting it into motion to clash against the opposing force.
The moment the two energies collided, the pressure weighing them down noticeably eased. Seizing the opportunity, both stepped forward. However, as they advanced, the opposing surge of natural energy intensified—its scale expanding and its flow accelerating even further.
"So that’s how it works. We need to integrate more energy and keep it circulating."
A surge of excitement ran through Ye Liuyun and his doppelganger. Without hesitation, they channeled even greater amounts of natural energy, accelerating its flow while continuously drawing more into their own current.
The resistance against them weakened once more, allowing them to take another step forward.
Seeing the effectiveness of their method, they ignored the mounting pressure from the opposing force and focused solely on amplifying their own energy. Their relentless reinforcement caused their power to grow faster than the resistance they faced, making their final steps effortless as they ascended to the mountain’s peak.
The moment they reached the summit, the opposing force vanished entirely.
With no resistance left, the energy they had unleashed roared into the sky. At first, it merely stirred the heavens above, but soon, all the natural energy within the entire space began to flow—faster and faster, until the entire secret realm was caught in its momentum. The energy gathered into a massive vortex, swirling slowly in the air.
The sheer magnitude of this force left Ye Liuyun and his doppelganger awestruck.
"How strong is this power? I feel like even the combined essence of multiple worlds couldn’t withstand a single strike from it."
"Indeed. Even someone as formidable as Li Daoyuan wouldn’t stand a chance against it!"
Lost in their amazement, neither of them realized they had already reached the summit.
The two of them initially thought the surge of natural energy was about to attack them, so they immediately began mobilizing their own. However, the amount of energy they could currently summon paled in comparison to the overwhelming force before them.
They merely swirled the gathered energy around themselves defensively, hearts pounding at the thought of being blasted all the way down the mountainside. Yet after tense moments of anticipation, the massive force never struck them. Instead, it spun for a while before gradually dissipating into the air.
"Gone?"
They exchanged bewildered glances, unsure what to make of it.
"Hahaha!" Tang Fengkuan, who had been watching the entire time, couldn’t hold back his laughter. "Six months—completing what takes others two years of training. And those final steps? Not a trace of external power was used."
