Having a higher cultivation realm was extremely beneficial here. They even cursed the masked cultivator for being early stage yet having a good chance to enter the main ruin.
When Pei Lingxi stepped on the first stair she felt the pressure and Lin Feng did too. It really was quite restricting in movement but compared to the previous cultivator who climbed, their speed was far faster.
...
With their almost double pace Pei Lingxi and Lian Zhi reached the cultivator holding the rings at the four hundred and eightieth step.
The cultivator flinched seeing them. He was already out of breath and he wanted to stop somewhere to rest but who knew if that would trigger the devil, so he was determined not to stop.
Pei Lingxi and Lian Zhi didn't stop and crossed him. After twenty more steps they entered the clouds. After moving ten more steps Lin Feng patted Pei Lingxi. "That's enough. Stop for a moment."
