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

However, before Hu-Tai-Min could finish speaking, Zheng-Fu interjected. He forbade Hu-Tai-Min to come and help him now because he thought he could control everything.

"Are you crazy!? You also know that a Rainbow Mushroom is equivalent to ten or twelve sixth-level divine pills, so right now you are absorbing sixth-level divine pills all at once without stopping, and there is not much space to hold all your energy. If you leave it like this, your energy realm might explode, or even yourself. And like that, you still…"

"I already told you that I know what I'm doing! I can handle it! You can just sit and watch my success!"

However, Zheng-Fu did not want to give up. He believed in himself that he could do it. After finished speaking, he immediately started circulating his energy coupled with using the cultivation technique.

[Subdue Heaven-Command World Energy Cultivation Technique]

Whoosh!!!

Booooooom!!!

Booooooom!!!

The sound of explosions within Zheng-Fu's energy realm echoed repeatedly. This time, it was not the sound of his energy level increasing but the sound of his energy realm expanding. It expanded so that it could contain this enormous amount of energy.

An hour passed...

Booooooom!!!

The late ninth level of the Heavenly Foundation Building stage!

Phew…

Finally, everything calmed down, both the turbulent energy inside Zheng-Fu's body and the intense gravity of the midnight hour. Now the gravity had begun to decrease. Meanwhile, Zheng-Fu's energy started to return to normal again. With this incident, Zheng-Fu's energy level had completely risen to the highest level of the Heavenly Foundation Building stage.

However, the one who benefited the most was not Zheng-Fu, but the ancient creature within his secret dimensional space. From his original energy level at the eighth level of the Heavenly Foundation Building stage, he had now become a third-level Heavenly Golden Core stage cultivator, which was an energy increase with a huge leap.

"Finally, I'm able to calm it down! Ah! I feel a lot better. Both strength and energy density are also increased. But more importantly, I feel that my body is incredibly light. It was as if the gravity here did not affect me. Or does the gravity return to normal after midnight?" Zheng-Fu spoke softly with delight before he noticed his body felt so light that it seemed as though he was not standing on the ground.

"That's because you've already been able to adapt to gravity that's thirty times greater. At the same time, the gravity in the gravity field drops tenfold during this time, so you feel yourself becoming lighter. But in reality, you're just still numb. After another five or ten minutes, the numbness will disappear. You'll be able to feel the reality that there is still tenfold gravity!"

After Zheng-Fu asked his question out loud, Hu-Tai-Min's voice responded, explaining to Zheng-Fu that he had already adjusted his body to withstand gravity more than thirty times greater. However, the reason he felt light at the moment might be because his legs were still numb, making him unaware that the gravity was still intense, with a remaining force equivalent to tenfold gravity.

"Hmm!!! I'm very grateful to you for your advice. But our bets still exist, right?" Zheng-Fu listened to Hu-Tai-Min and could understand several parts. He thought so too. He considered that gravity should not have completely disappeared. However, Zheng-Fu was more interested in the bets between the two of them.

"Of course! I, Hu-Tai-Min, will do as my words. If you can endure until the morning, I'll give you this Rainbow Mushroom right away!" Although Hu-Tai-Min was intrigued by Zheng-Fu's question, he quickly regained his composure before answering while taking out a Rainbow Mushroom to show Zheng-Fu.

"Good! Then let's meet in the morning!" When Zheng-Fu saw the mushroom in Hu-Tai-Min's hand, a satisfied smile suddenly appeared. He then lost interest in Hu-Tai-Min and instead focused on stabilizing his energy, including conditioning his body.

Whooooooosh!!!

At last, the night had come to an end, and the morning sunlight began to shine through the gravity field. That was exactly when Zheng-Fu finished balancing his energy. Moreover, he could exercise within this gravity field too.

Yaaaaah!!!

… Ninety-nine… One hundred...

Phew!

"Finally, I can stand until morning. Ah! I feel even lighter than last night. Just this, I've won that guy's bet!" Zheng-Fu said with a cheerful expression, satisfied with what he had earned all day yesterday, including the Rainbow Mushroom he was about to receive.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

Great!

"You really are amazing, Human! Do you know that you are the first person to be able to stand until morning comes, even though it's your first time cultivating? All right, you can come outside now. And this is your Rainbow Mushroom. You have won the bet, take it!" After the expiration of the time he had set, Hu-Tai-Min then appeared and clapped his hands in compliment to Zheng-Fu. Then he threw a Rainbow Mushroom to Zheng-Fu as a reward for winning the bet and told Zheng-Fu to leave the gravity field first.

Blop!

Ah!

Zheng-Fu grabbed the Rainbow Mushroom immediately before he soared out of the gravity field without feeling the weight that had held him back like before.

In the courtyard in front of the entrance to the gravity field...

"The spot where you stand in the gravity field is only the first spot. As you go deeper, the gravitational force will rise even higher. Even I, who can only enter fifty meters, would experience a thousand times greater gravity when it hits midnight. So, on the second day, you'll pace at least five meters deeper. This time, the gravitational force you'll encounter will be sixty or eightyfold."

When Zheng-Fu came outside, Hu-Tai-Min continued to describe the properties of the gravity field. Seeing that Zheng-Fu was so proud of being able to stand until morning without any problems, Hu-Tai-Min let him know that this was just the beginning.

"I already know that! You've told me before. Besides, I tried it myself last night before morning came. I tried to walk another two meters, and that's the maximum distance I could go beyond that spot. Then I retreated to the original spot because I knew my limits!" Zheng-Fu replied confidently. He knew himself very well—what he should and shouldn't do. He wasn't the type to act overbearing or indifferent to challenges.

"It's good that you can think like that. So, I won't have to bother talking too much. Also, now that your energy level has risen a lot, I think you'll soon be able to break through to the Heavenly Golden Core stage. But you have to think carefully; everything may not always be what we expect. All right! Today, you've to spend all day resting and preparing yourself because tomorrow you'll have to move five meters in!"

Hu-Tai-Min refrained from talking too much because he knew Zheng-Fu disliked repeated reminders. He left Zheng-Fu with advice to rest and prepare for deeper cultivation the next day.

Hmm!

"Even if you don't tell me, I'll do it anyway. I think cultivating in this place is wonderful," Zheng-Fu muttered to himself, adding quietly, "It would be great if I could take it back with me!"

"Just now, what did you say? Are you going to take something back with you?" Hu-Tai-Min, about to leave, suddenly heard Zheng-Fu's words but didn't catch them clearly.

"Ah, nothing! I was just talking to myself! All right, I'm going to rest. Don't bother me!" Zheng-Fu immediately dismissed the question, insisting he needed to rest before lying down to avoid further questioning.

Huh!

Seeing that Zheng-Fu avoided the topic, Hu-Tai-Min decided not to press further. He left to attend to his errands far away from the area. As for Zheng-Fu, he remained lying down, waiting for Hu-Tai-Min to be far enough away before starting his own mission.

"That crazy guy must have gone far; I can't feel his presence anymore. Well! It's time to clean up the area around here. Earlier, I saw that the entrance to the gravity field was full of Thorn Stone Leaf plants. And it seems to be over a thousand years old too. And there were other herbs around this area. Leaving them like this is a waste. Then let me inherit them so I can take care of them!"

Zheng-Fu's mission was to collect the various rare herbs surrounding the area. He had noticed and targeted them earlier. So, during his free time, he wasted no time collecting those plants for his Heavenly Flora Garden.

Whoosh!!!

Blop! Blop! Blop! Blop!

An hour passed...

"I never expected that there would be so many rare herbs here! In addition, each of them is over a hundred years old or more. If I take them to concoct divine pills... I'll definitely be able to create many kinds of pills that are higher than the fourth level. Sigh! It would be great if I could inherit the entire secret land and take care of it!"

After spending an hour collecting various herbs to replant them, Zheng-Fu considered the idea of inheriting the entire secret land. However, he knew it would cause chaos if he did so outright. Nevertheless, he resolved not to leave the gravity field as it was. He thought of using it as his personal cultivation field in the outside world.

Moreover, the gravity field wasn't too large, and Zheng-Fu believed he could absorb it into his mysterious dimensional space. However, the potential effects of placing it inside remained a concern. Thus, Zheng-Fu decided to dedicate the remainder of his time in the secret land to studying it as much as possible before leaving.
