Chapter 371 Stairs
"Ah~" Liu Xing took a step forward, and suddenly his body lost weight and fell down. When he looked again, the light gate behind him had disappeared.
Liu Xing was startled and hurriedly used his magic power to try to steady his body, but he didn't expect that the suction below was extremely strong, hundreds of times stronger than the suction of the ground outside.
"Bang!" Liu Xing fell heavily to the ground, face down, his whole body pressed tightly against the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
"Gravity restriction!" Liu Xing muttered to himself. The restriction's height was definitely higher than any gravity restriction he had seen in the human world. It was already remarkable that gravity restrictions in the human world could be dozens of times stronger. With Liu Xing's ability, he could only set up a gravity restriction of about thirty times.
He rolled over, face up, and lay quietly, looking at the long staircase ahead, probably thousands of steps. At the top of the staircase stood a stone temple.
"Reaching the Stone Palace means I've completed the first stage, right?" Liu Xing thought silently, secretly circulating his magic power to feel the pressure around him.
As his mana reached 90% capacity, he was finally able to sit up, and he immediately crossed his legs, meditating as he usually did. Under the pressure of gravity, his mana flowed against resistance hundreds of times greater, and his spiritual energy flowed extremely slowly. After an unknown amount of time, he finally adjusted to the pressure and slowly stood up.
"This restriction must vary from person to person, and it will become stronger when facing a stronger opponent. Qian'er should not be in danger." Liu Xing concluded, always thinking about his wife.
Otherwise, even with his mana three times more concentrated than that of his peers, he could only barely withstand the pressure. Wouldn't the other Jindan cultivators be shattered to pieces under this gravity? This wasn't a disciple trial ground at all, but a killing ground.
Liu Xing lifted his foot and slowly climbed the stairs. Sweat was pouring down his forehead, and it was obvious that each step was difficult.
Under the heavy pressure, his magic power stagnated, and Liu Xing gritted his teeth. He did not rush to release the spiritual power shield to protect his body, but used his strong body to resist.
With such a strong gravitational field, it was a perfect opportunity for physical training. His body, comparable to a magical weapon, had been refined over the years by the Vajra Relic, allowing him to cultivate the Ming Wang Jue to great perfection. While this Buddhist secret technique was considered a top-tier technique in the human realm, Liu Xing could clearly sense that the Ming Wang Jue was several levels below his own Wind and Thunder Manual and Yin-Yang Harmony Technique. Unless he possessed a physical training technique from the higher realms, his physical strength would remain limited.
The hundreds of times stronger gravity finally put immense pressure on his bones, veins, and internal organs. Previously, he had been able to move freely within the thirty times stronger gravity, but now he finally felt the pain of being unable to move.
The Ming Wang Jue slowly circulated again, coordinating with the external pressure to continue polishing his body. Liu Xing's skin was now torn, his tendons and bones shattered, yet his expression remained calm. He was accustomed to the pain of the Gangfeng Spirit Refining Technique, so the pain of this physical rupture was nothing to him.
His body was constantly being torn apart, blood dripping profusely. Liu Xing silently felt the limit of his endurance. Finally, at 500 steps, he stopped. He sat cross-legged, channeling his Qi to restore his physical form. Wind and Cloud Energy silently flowed, cleansing his tendons and marrow, repairing his battered body. After a long time, his body finally recovered, and Liu Xing began to climb the stairs again.
The higher they went, the greater the pressure became. This was another fact Liu Xing discovered. He suspected that the restriction was automatically identifying the strength of the trial disciples and gradually increasing the pressure. If the Nascent Soul stage trial field also had this gravity restriction, Liu Xing estimated that he would be under the same pressure as the mid-Nascent Soul elder.
Meanwhile, the other Jindan disciples were suffocating under the pressure, their faces livid, yet they gritted their teeth and persevered. Through the Mingwang Jue, the body's organs were constantly stimulated, energizing the body's fa-ti. The pressure continued to damage the body, while the Fengyun Jin constantly repaired it, and the cycle continued. Liu Xing cultivated with both pain and joy. He could feel his fa-ti, which had remained stagnant for a long time, growing stronger, a result more effective than any panacea.
The pain of his body's destruction didn't disturb his concentration. While practicing his Qi, he silently studied the gravity restriction. Unaware of the formation's structure and the placement of the array plates, he could only infer the restriction's principles from his physical sensations. The calculations were incredibly difficult, but his love of mathematics never tired him. After walking thousands of steps, he finally figured something out. He was itching to test his ideas immediately, but the current environment clearly didn't allow it.
As the gravity became stronger and stronger, the body's repair speed could not keep up with the destruction speed, and Liu Xing had to add a layer of spiritual power shield outside his body.
As the spiritual shield emerged, he immediately sensed a new, unusual change in the restrictions. It felt as if a sledgehammer was striking the shield repeatedly. As the technique progressed, his magical power seemed to be tempered, becoming increasingly refined and refined.
"So that's how it is. This restriction is indeed amazing." Liu Xing admired the restriction technology very much.
"It's just that my magic power has been purified by the jade flute, and this little pressure is of little help to the purification of my magic power. But it will definitely be of great benefit to other cultivators this time." Liu Xingruo thought with disappointment.
He suddenly remembered something, reached out his hand and gently touched his forehead, then he caught the round and fat baby in his hand, with a layer of spiritual power shield protecting it.
Pangpang, who was dozing off, rubbed his sleepy eyes. He didn't know why his owner caught him, so he looked around curiously.
"I've reached the peak of level five. It seems that breaking through to level six is just around the corner. It's worth it that I've refined so many poisonous toad pills." Liu Xing looked at Pang Pang lovingly and said with satisfaction.
"Fatty, practice your skills, use your spiritual power to protect your body, and use the gravity restriction here to train your body." Liu Xing ordered.
As Liu Xing slowly retracted his spiritual shield, Pang Pang suddenly felt an intense pressure. You have to know that the strength of the gravity restriction here is aimed at Liu Xing, and for a weak little bug like Pang Pang, he would be crushed into a pulp in an instant.
Liu Xing took care of Pang Pang carefully, allowing him to gradually adapt, and continuously inputted magic power into him to repair his broken body.
"Ah! It hurts so much! Master, I want to go back, let me go back! Woo woo~~" Pang Pang screamed in pain, twisting his body constantly, and rolling around in Liu Xing's palm.
"This is for your own good. You must cherish this opportunity so that you can advance more smoothly in the future." Liu Xing felt distressed seeing Pang Pang in so much pain, but he still cruelly held it in his hand and kept comforting it.
Pangpang was tortured continuously, but his body became stronger and stronger, and his magic power became more refined. Liu Xing could have climbed to the top of the stairs quickly, but in order to train Pangpang, he deliberately slowed down his pace.
