Two shichens passed...

"Damn it! It's only three shichens since I've been standing in this gravity field, but I wasted a lot of energy balancing myself to resist gravity, which pulled me more and more. If this continues, my body will be unbearable!" After another two shichens had passed, the gravity that Zheng-Fu had to bear had increased by three times. It was now as if he had already carried seven times his weight.

In addition to the increased gravitational weight, Zheng-Fu also felt that he had lost a significant amount of energy trying to sustain himself to remain standing.

Five lis away from the gravity field...

"I never thought that this human could endure this long! But in less than a shichen, he would be exhausted. Until then, I'll go help him!" When Hu-Tai-Min returned to the gravity field after finishing his errand, Zheng-Fu was still standing there. It was incredible for beginners and someone with just such an energy level.

Normally, for a cultivator at the Heavenly Foundation Building stage like Zheng-Fu, just standing for one shichen would already be considered remarkable. This was because not only did the body weight increase, but the gravitational waves also forced the pores of the body to open wider, causing the cultivator to exert more energy. Simply put, it forced the cultivator to expend energy wastefully without any real reason.

Another hour passed…

Aaaaargh!!!

Thud!

After another hour had passed, Zheng-Fu's body was starting to become unbearable under gravity. He involuntarily knelt on one side as grains of sweat overwhelmed him.

"This is too crazy. Previously, it only increased sevenfold. Why did it only take an hour for the gravitational force to increase tenfold like this?!" After kneeling on one knee, Zheng-Fu grumbled in dissatisfaction. Because the gravity suddenly increased by leaps and bounds, and it looked like it was going to increase even more.

Thud!

"That's because the closer it gets to dusk, the more the magic item will increase the gravity. So now that it's late in the afternoon, the gravity is greater than in the morning. If you can't stand it, do you want me to go in and help you out?"

Suddenly, Hu-Tai-Min's voice sounded after Zheng-Fu had finished his words. He had been watching Zheng-Fu for an hour, and he knew that Zheng-Fu would not be able to bear it after an hour, so he appeared and explained to Zheng-Fu before speaking to urge him.

"Huh! The gravity increases, then so what!? I don't believe that I can't stand it until the evening!"

Yaaaaaaak!!!

Flap!!!

When Zheng-Fu heard Hu-Tai-Min's insulting words, he suddenly rushed out all his energy to defy the gravity he was experiencing. It allowed him to stand up again. And this time, it made Hu-Tai-Min somewhat shocked because he thought that the strength just now was Zheng-Fu's last limit.

"Well! Since you don't want me to help, I'll wait for you outside. Whenever you need me, shout at me!" Hu-Tai-Min knew that even if he said something, Zheng-Fu would not listen to him, so he let Zheng-Fu learn the lesson himself.

Tch!!

"Since stepping in here until now, I feel that my bones and muscles have been greatly strengthened. Not only that, but my energy level has also increased. If I had been cultivating here for three months, my energy level would surely soar up to the Heavenly Golden Core stage. But now, I've to survive until this evening, as that crazy guy said first. But what should I do about wasting so much energy?"

Zheng-Fu was not angry or upset at Hu-Tai-Min, on the contrary, he was even grateful. Because since he started cultivating against this heavy gravity, his bones and muscles had visibly strengthened. But that had to come at the cost of almost all his energy. And he also sensed that his energy was being consumed too quickly, so Zheng-Fu thought of a way to fix this flaw.

"Perhaps it's because I was overthinking and being too impatient. I may forget some steps, so I should concentrate and use the energy cultivation technique at the same time!" Zheng-Fu suddenly realized that he should concentrate more and use his energy cultivation technique to keep him going on.

[Subdue Heaven-Command World Energy Cultivation Technique]

Whoooooooosh!!!

Another hour passed...

Booooooom!!!

Huh?

"You're able to level up your energy again?" At that moment, Hu-Tai-Min, meditating to cultivate his energy waiting for Zheng-Fu, suddenly felt the energy waves erupt. He immediately recognized that this was a sign of advancing to the next energy level. And he already knew that these energy waves belonged to Zheng-Fu because, before Zheng-Fu entered the gravity field, he had seen Zheng-Fu level up and emit his energy waves once.

At the gravity field...

Phew!!!

"I never thought that concentrating and using Subdue Heaven-Command World Energy Cultivation Technique would allow me to level up my energy this fast. This must be due to the gravity here too. Ah! I feel like my body is lighter than before! Like this, I'll definitely be able to stand until dusk!" Zheng-Fu felt his weight was lighter than before. That was because of his increased energy and his gradual acclimatization to gravity.

"You really are amazing, Human! Even if the gravity field had a tenfold increase in gravity, you could still stand here on the first day. I suspect I'm underestimating you. Hmm, then you shall stand there until the morning. If you can, I'll give you one more Rainbow Mushroom!" When Hu-Tai-Min came over and saw that Zheng-Fu was in good condition, he could not help but praise him. And he determined that if Zheng-Fu could stand until morning, he would give him another Rainbow Mushroom.

"One more Rainbow Mushroom? You said it yourself! All right, I'll stand until tomorrow morning!" Zheng-Fu's eyes widened when he heard that Hu-Tai-Min would give him another Rainbow Mushroom. This made Zheng-Fu feel even more encouraged because, anyway, he would benefit both ways.

"Good! But if you can't, then you'll have to tell me the cultivation technique you used!" Of course, Hu-Tai-Min did not plan to give the Rainbow Mushroom to Zheng-Fu for free. Seeing Zheng-Fu using an interesting cultivation technique, he used it as a bargaining chip to make a bet with Zheng-Fu.

"You want to know my energy cultivation technique? Umm... All right! In any case, I'll stand until morning." Zheng-Fu was slightly shocked when he heard Hu-Tai-Min's exchange. But after pondering for a moment, he agreed because he thought it would not cause him any loss.

"So that's the deal!"

Whoosh!!!

When Hu-Tai-Min finished speaking, he returned to the courtyard in front of the gravity field once more to watch out for other spirit monsters and prevent unwanted persons from entering this place as well.

As midnight approached, the gravity field reached its highest intensity...

AAAAARGH!!!

At that moment, Zheng-Fu's cries of pain and suffering echoed as he fought against gravity that was thirty times greater than before. The force was so intense that blood trickled from the corners of his mouth and ears.

Argh!!!

"What the hell is this gravity? Argh! Why is it so heavy? If it continues like this, I won't be able to resist and will surely collapse to the ground!" Zheng-Fu gritted his teeth and endured the pain, fighting against the overwhelming gravity with all his might. He knew that if the situation persisted, he would fall unless his energy level increased or he received extra energy from taking a divine pill.

"No! I can't give up now. Otherwise, I won't get the Rainbow Mushroom! Huh? It's true! I still have that Rainbow Mushroom! Go ahead! The situation is getting worse now, eat it right now!" Zheng-Fu refused to surrender, determined to obtain another Rainbow Mushroom. Remembering the one he had stored, he decided to eat it immediately to replenish his energy.

Blop!

Gulp!!! Gulp!!!

Whoooooooosh!!!

AAAAAAARGH!!!

As soon as the entire Rainbow Mushroom was swallowed, an enormous surge of energy erupted within Zheng-Fu's body. The fierce and intense energy permeated his blood vessels, veins, and energy realm, causing them to expand almost to the point of bursting.

In the Heavenly Forest within Zheng-Fu's mysterious dimensional space...

"Hey, Old man! It's so bad right now! The kid is starting to feel unbearable. The energy he received is too much. If it continues like this, his body will explode. Hurry up! Quickly help him absorb the excess energy!" The elder inside the Heavenly Flora Garden spoke in shock, realizing the danger Zheng-Fu was in. If this continues, his body will surely explode. The elder then instructed the ancient creature to absorb the excess energy to help Zheng-Fu.

"Even if you don't tell me, I'll do it anyway. I'll never let Master get into trouble!" replied the ancient creature, determined to save Zheng-Fu by absorbing the excess energy.

Whoosh!!!

The intense energy waves startled Hu-Tai-Min, who was meditating nearby. Sensing an enormous surge of Heaven Energy, far greater than the previous wave, he hurried to see what had happened.

Thud!

"What happened? Huh! Did you eat the Rainbow Mushroom while inside the gravity field? Do you really want to die to be able to do this!!!" When Hu-Tai-Min arrived, he immediately recognized the Rainbow Mushroom's scent and realized that Zheng-Fu had eaten the rest of it.

He did not expect Zheng-Fu to be so reckless. Ingesting such potent herbs or divine pills within the gravity field caused instant energy absorption at an accelerated rate, leading to the intense physical effects Zheng-Fu was experiencing.

"This can't continue! I must hurry and get him out of there! Human, hold on! I'll help you out right now. Try not to absorb the remaining energy. You should—"

"You don't have to come in! I'm still all right! I'm still fine!"
