Chapter 313: 313: The Wonders of the Gravity Zone, The Ten Districts
Excited voices came from the first layer of the Cultivation Tower, and it was Wang Ping An’s.
“Cultivation Level… what does that mean?” Long Tianxing, who was gritting his teeth in perseverance, heard the sound and quickly shouted towards the first layer of the Cultivation Tower.
“The bottleneck in my stagnant Cultivation Level has loosened!” Wang Ping An’s voice rose again, capturing the attention of all the First Generation Disciples.
“I understand now!”
Ji Ziling was the first to realize, “We’re in the Gravity Zone, and the first thing we’re training is our physical strength, but because most of us are not Body Cultivators, we must use our own Spiritual Power to enhance ourselves.”
“Because Spiritual Power is consumed too rapidly, it’s as if we are in the midst of battle after battle, accelerating the use of Spiritual Power and strengthening our meridians.”
“This is like accelerating our cultivation!”
“Of course, this effect is quite extreme, and it can greatly damage the body. If one doesn’t heal promptly afterward, it can harm the foundation.”
Upon hearing this, the disciples had a moment of realization.
Nanny Yan Ruyu was withstanding the pressure, but then she suddenly revealed a sweet smile that was as refreshing as the spring breeze, saying,
“Healing injuries? Just leave that to me!”
Yes!
We have a nanny!
The eyes of all the disciples widened, seeing the hope for accelerated cultivation.
“So this is the true significance of the Gravity Zone in the Cultivation Tower.” Huo Yunjie formed a sword with his fingers, and sword light flickered around him, continuously amplifying himself.
As a practitioner of the Element Gathering Realm, he didn’t fear the tenfold gravity.
However, he could also feel the accelerated depletion of Spiritual Power. If one could return to the first layer to replenish Spiritual Energy after its exhaustion and repeat this process many times, their Cultivation Level would surely rise as swiftly as if they were on a Flying Sword.
Misty Peak.
Ye Feng was holding the Heaven-Asking Mirror.
Seeing the state of the disciples in the image, he showed a smile and said, “Good, that’s the way to do it, but remember, it’s only the Gravity Zone for now. Have your fill of it, and then you still have four other zones ahead, as well as the mysterious seventh layer.”
In fact, even Ye Feng didn’t know what the seventh layer entailed.
That layer was very mysterious.
Only those who passed the trials of the first five layers could enter the seventh layer and have a chance at obtaining special rewards.
But what those rewards were, even Ye Feng himself didn’t know.
Cultivation Tower.
Wang Ping An was meditating on the giant cauldron, and suddenly, his aura surged, stepping into the fourth layer of Qi Refinement. His eyes instantly overflowed with joy.
“Haha, I’ve finally made the breakthrough!”
Having solidified his Cultivation Level, Wang Ping An then shouldered the giant cauldron and climbed to the second layer, entering the tenfold Gravity Zone.
Yu Su and Yu Wei, the pair of sisters, also quickly recovered their Spiritual Power and returned to the Gravity Zone.
“I just thought of something; above the Gravity Zone, there’s the Enlightenment Zone, Combat Zone, Illusionary Realm, and Opportunity Zone, right? Why don’t we go up first and check it out, get familiar with it?” Wang Ping An suggested with a chuckle.
“You can’t go up.” Mo Ying spoke.
“Ah? Why not?” Wang Ping An scratched his head in confusion.
Mo Ying turned to look at the spiral staircase leading to the third layer and said, “If you don’t believe me, try walking up yourself.”
Wang Ping An truly didn’t believe in curses.
He shouldered the giant cauldron and, holding the railing, climbed up the stairs step by step toward the third layer, but then he suddenly found that the gravity bearing down on him was increasingly heavy, eventually reaching tenfold. Each step became exceedingly difficult.
“What… what’s going on!”
Wang Ping An tried to take another step, but as he opened his mouth to complain, his breath leaked out, and he could no longer withstand the pressure, instantly collapsing back to the first layer.
“Why is this happening!”
Wang Ping An lay on the ground spread-eagled, staring blankly at the stairs leading to the third layer, feeling that something was amiss.
The second layer, Gravity Zone.
“Teacher… Sister, how did you know that Junior Brother Wang wouldn’t be able to reach the third layer?” asked Long Tianxing, maintaining his Dragon Transformation Form, though he wasn’t finding it easy, with his speech coming in starts and stops.
“I guessed,” said Mo Ying.
“Ah?”
Everyone gasped in surprise, turning their heads to look at Mo Ying.
“Have you all forgotten? The Sect Leader once said, when it comes to tackling the Cultivation Tower, if you could easily move to any layer at will, would that still be considered a challenge?” Mo Ying countered.
Everyone, upon hearing this, felt that it made sense.
“Then how can we ascend to the third layer’s Enlightenment Zone?” Shi Lei couldn’t help asking.
“It must require us to hold on for a period of time, or something else,” Huo Yunjie speculated.
Ding!
A strange sound echoed within the Cultivation Tower.
Everyone felt the pressure on their bodies recede like the tide, as the tenfold gravity quickly returned to normal. They were like tightly drawn bows that were gradually released, feeling completely exhausted, all slumping to the ground.
“What’s happening now?” Jia Yulan asked.
“Look, different colored rings are appearing on the ground,” Li Jiaojiao called out, pointing at the floor and drawing everyone’s attention.
Behind the scenes, Ye Feng watched through the Heaven-Asking Mirror, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
“What you experienced just now was only an appetizer, the real show is about to begin.”
Ye Feng had a mischievous smile on his face.
At this moment, on the second layer of the Cultivation Tower.
The disciples found that the ground had turned into ten rings.
The innermost ring was white, which was the area where they were currently standing, with gravity the same as outside.
After that, every ten meters, a second ring would appear.
Mo Ying’s eyes flickered as she stepped onto the second ring and found that the gravity on her had doubled.
Then, she moved to the third ring.
The gravity surged, quadrupling.
Within the fourth ring, the gravity increased to six times as much.
Inside the fifth ring, the gravity was eightfold.
Within the sixth ring, the gravity was tenfold.
Moving further on, Mo Ying wanted to rush forward, but found it extremely difficult to walk in the tenfold gravity zone. Every step she took made her feel as if her body was about to fall apart, yet thankfully she could endure it.
When she stepped into the seventh ring, a sudden twentyfold gravity descended, making Mo Ying feel oppressed all over, her True Yuan depleting rapidly as though she faced the pressure of a Peak Demon General.
Whoosh!
She was flung backward, landing on the first layer.
“Sister!”
Yan Ruyu and Jia Yulan rushed over immediately, helping Mo Ying up and treating her injuries, but found she was not seriously harmed.
“I’m okay,” Mo Ying took a deep breath. “Within the seventh ring, the gravity spiked to twenty times.”
As soon as this statement was made, everyone was shocked.
Twentyfold gravity, that was truly frightening.
A person who normally weighed one hundred pounds would their weight instantly skyrocket to two thousand pounds upon entering it.
This wasn’t as simple as carrying two thousand pounds on one’s body, but every bone, strand of hair, and even cells were all subjected to the same drastic increase in gravity, with the same true for the pressure on internal organs and the brain.
If an ordinary person entered the twentyfold gravity zone, it wouldn’t be long before their organs would fail to withstand and be torn apart by the immense gravity.
This was very dangerous!
“There are ten rings here, and the seventh is already at twentyfold gravity. So, what would the gravity be in the eighth, ninth, and tenth rings? Could it be that we must endure the gravity zones inside the tenth ring to advance to the third layer’s Enlightenment Zone?”
After speaking, Huo Yunjie formed a sword with his fingers, his sword intent continually strengthening, preparing to make a foray into the eighth ring.
“There’s no need to get through the tenth ring,” Ye Feng appeared behind the disciples, a smile playing on his lips.
“Greetings to the Sect Leader.”
The disciples bowed one after another, standing on either side of Ye Feng.
“The Gravity Zone has a total of ten rings. Starting from the first ring, the gravity respectively is one-time, double, quadruple, sixfold, eightfold, tenfold, twentyfold, fortyfold, sixtyfold, a hundredfold,” Ye Feng explained. “If you can last in the tenfold gravity zone for half an hour, you can proceed to the third layer.”
“So it’s the tenfold zone!”
The disciples sighed in relief.
Initially, they had withstood the trial of the tenfold gravity zone, and although it felt difficult to endure, with added effort, persisting for half an hour in the future seemed feasible.
If it were the hundredfold gravity of the tenth ring, that would be far too challenging.
