"Quickly, Human!"

Ah!!!

When Hu-Tai-Min saw that Zheng-Fu was not following closely, he turned back and shouted for Zheng-Fu to hurry up. Hearing the shout, Zheng-Fu quickly gathered all the herbs and stored them in his Heavenly Herb Garden. There was no way he could leave such a treasure behind.

Whoosh!!!

Blop! Blop! Blop!

Two shichens passed...

Thud!

Phew!!!

"Why is it this far? I'm exhausted! But... why does running this much make me so tired?"

After running for two shichens, Zheng-Fu felt unusually tired and drained. Normally, this distance wouldn't affect him so much.

"That's because of the increasing gravity! Don't you feel that, since fifty li ago, your legs have felt heavier while running?" Hu-Tai-Min spoke up and immediately explained the reason to Zheng-Fu, letting him understand why he felt more exhausted than usual.

Ah!

"That's true. My legs have felt harder to lift since fifty lis ago. But I thought it was normal since I've been running for a while. Why does this area have more gravitational force? Is this area special, or is there some magic item increasing the gravity?"

Zheng-Fu tried to recall the moment when he was running earlier. He remembered that his legs did start to feel heavier than before. Once he understood the reason for his exhaustion, Zheng-Fu asked about what caused the increased gravity in this area and why it had occurred.

"What you said is correct! From that large boulder onward is a restricted area where spirit monsters dare not enter. There's a magic item in that area that increases the gravitational force. It affects the surrounding radius as well. I've been there and tested it before," Hu-Tai-Min explained, pointing at a massive rock behind which lay a vast courtyard. At its center was a magic item that caused the surrounding gravity to increase, making it nearly impossible to move.

"So, how did it go when you entered?"

"I couldn't resist the gravity and couldn't move at all. Who could withstand such immense gravity? But when I cultivated energy there, I achieved good results. Training under such gravity lightened my body and accelerated my energy growth. I've been able to advance more than fifty meters into the area!" Hu-Tai-Min replied with a proud expression. The experience had significantly boosted his energy level and speed.

Ah!

"Is this the cultivation method you mentioned? Hmm, sounds promising! Let me try it to see if it's as hard as you say!"

Whoosh!!!

"Wait, Human! Right now, the gravity is at its peak. You might..."

Boooooooom!!!

Aaaaargh!!!

Before Hu-Tai-Min could finish, Zheng-Fu had already leapt past the boulder. Immediately, he was slammed to the ground by the intense gravity, injuring himself badly and rendering him unable to stand. Fortunately, Hu-Tai-Min dragged him out of the area.

"How is it!? Now, do you believe me? Humans are so foolish and arrogant. If I weren't here today, you'd be preparing to die!" Hu-Tai-Min said with satisfaction. He had intended to teach Zheng-Fu a lesson, so he hadn't explained the gravity fluctuations in detail.

Ten minutes later...

Whoooooooosh!!!

Phew!

"Damn it! Couldn't you have told me sooner? I nearly died! Luckily, only half my body entered!" Zheng-Fu exclaimed after recovering his energy, though he knew he was at fault for not listening earlier.

"Why should I tell you? You wouldn't have listened anyway. Letting you experience it yourself was better!" Hu-Tai-Min replied nonchalantly, unbothered by Zheng-Fu's complaints. Because he knew that Zheng-Fu was just complaining to vent his emotions, Hu-Tai-Min chose not to argue further.

"Tch! Next time, just tell me! If it's about life and death, I'll listen to those with experience. I'm not that stubborn!" Zheng-Fu tried to apologize to the other party, but he still acted tough and apologized in a dissatisfied manner...

"Forget it! Let's just say it was my fault for not telling you earlier. But now, we need to wait until morning before we can start training. In the morning, the gravitational force will lessen enough for you to begin your practice!" Seeing that Zheng-Fu wanted to apologize, Hu-Tai-Min didn't dwell on it further. Instead, he apologized himself, acknowledging that the issue arose because he hadn't warned Zheng-Fu beforehand. Then, he suggested they wait until morning to begin training.

Ah!

"All right, as you say!" This time, Zheng-Fu decided to take the risk and try it himself again. Therefore, he waited until morning, as Hu-Tai-Min had advised him, before going in to test it once more.

The next morning...

Yaaaawn!!!

"The morning air is so refreshing. But where is Spirit Monster Hu-Tai-Min?" When morning arrived, Zheng-Fu woke up to feel some fresh air, however, he noticed that his companion was missing.

Thud!

"Did you wake up, sleepy human!? Here's your breakfast. Eat it!" Hu-Tai-Min suddenly appeared, tossing colorful mushrooms at Zheng-Fu.

Blop!

"This is Rainbow Mushroom! Just one bite equals a sixth-level divine pill? If I eat this whole thing, it's like consuming ten sixth-level divine pills!" Zheng-Fu exclaimed with excitement and astonishment at seeing a Rainbow Mushroom of this size. This mushroom was extremely rare because it took five hundred years for it to develop all seven colors.

Gulp!!!

Whoooooooosh!!!

Aaaaaah!!!

With just the first bite that Zheng-Fu took and swallowed, he immediately felt an immense surge of Heaven Energy filling his stomach. This powerful energy came from a single bite of the Rainbow Mushroom. In no time, Zheng-Fu's energy realm began to change, followed by the sound of a loud explosion.

Booooooom!!!

Sixth level of the Heavenly Foundation Building stage!

"Superb! This is too awesome. With just one bite, I can increase one level. Oh! It's not only about increasing energy levels quickly, but it also easily absorbs energy. If I ate all of this one…"

Ahem!

"I think you should only eat one bite of it first. Because after this, you might need to use it to help you recover your energy after you enter the gravity field to cultivate!" However, before Zheng-Fu could finish his sweet dream, Hu-Tai-Min's voice interrupted, along with advice on how to eat efficiently.

Ah?

"Um! All right, I'll believe your words! But how do we start cultivating?" Zheng-Fu obeyed Hu-Tai-Min's words easily. He kept the Rainbow Mushroom in his dimensional ring before turning his attention to methods and procedures for cultivating within the gravity field.

"You must first familiarize yourself with basic gravity. I've already marked where you'd stand. You must stay there as long as possible until early in the evening of the day. If you can stand there until that time with nothing happening, I'll teach you the next steps. But if you can't, then you can stop thinking about enhancing your abilities with this method!"

Hu-Tai-Min told Zheng-Fu about the cultivation method in the first step, which was not difficult at all. Zheng-Fu only needed to stand at the spot marked by Hu-Tai-Min until early evening.

"Sure! I'll do as you say. No matter what happens, I'll never give up!" Zheng-Fu nodded earnestly. He knew that it was actually not an easy thing to accomplish, even though it sounded like it was easy. He guessed that the more time passed, the weight of gravity would definitely be greater.

"Good! You seem confident and well-prepared. Then, follow me. I'll tell you where to stand," seeing Zheng-Fu's determined expression, Hu-Tai-Min nodded in satisfaction, and a smile crept at the corners of his mouth before he told Zheng-Fu to follow him into the gravity field.

Three minutes later...

Thump! Thump! Thump!

"Well! We've entered the gravity field. This spot is where you need to stand and balance until the early evening of the day. All right, from now on, I wish you good luck!"

Flap!!!

When Hu-Tai-Min finished speaking, he immediately soared backward. He still had a lot to do, so he decided to leave Zheng-Fu alone there. Besides, the spot where he had Zheng-Fu stand was not very dangerous. Even if Zheng-Fu could not stand the rising gravity, he would be fine.

"Just starting to get inside, my body has almost doubled in weight. And the deeper I walk in, my legs become heavier. It's just that I haven't even taken twenty steps yet, and my legs are this heavy, and had I gone deeper inside, wouldn't I have been pressed to sink into the ground?" Zheng-Fu was sweating and panicking beyond words. He had never experienced such feelings before. His body had almost doubled in weight, especially his legs, which felt the heaviest of all parts of his body, as if many hands were pulling them down.

One shichen passed...

Whooosh!!!

Ah!

"Damn it! My weight increased again. Is this going to increase every thirty minutes? I already weigh more than fourfold! If I continue like this, I won't be able to endure it. This is not good; I need to find some method to lighten my body!" Zheng-Fu's body now endured four times more gravity than before. And it seemed to continue increasing, so Zheng-Fu had to think of finding a way to resist this gravity.

Ah!

"What if I use up all this gravity to improve my sword skill? My sword skills will also improve at the same time. But if I did that, my body might not be able to withstand the exhaustion, but... Sigh!!! Actually, I figured out a lot of things, but I couldn't do anything! Then how can I improve my abilities? Sigh... Now the strength to stand is almost non-existent, how am I supposed to have the strength to lift my sword?" Although Zheng-Fu wanted to do many things to solve this problem, his body did not have the strength to do anything else. Even standing still was so difficult for him.
