155: One hundred and twenty-eight times gravity, the sixth level of body refining!
Inside the Gravity Chamber, due to the stronger gravity, Lu Sheng's Qi and blood circulation speed decreased significantly.
But Lu Sheng quickly realized something.
If he could, inside the Gravity Chamber, restore his Qi and blood circulation speed, and even his ability to control Qi and blood, to be the same as outside.
Then, once he exited the Gravity Chamber, in that relaxed environment, wouldn't his control over Qi and blood, and the recovery speed of his Qi and blood circulation, become even more terrifying?
At that time, even if his cultivation didn't improve, his combat power would undergo a complete transformation.
Upon realizing this, Lu Sheng's heart immediately became excited, and he quickly began to try controlling his Qi and blood.
At the same time, Lu Sheng didn't forget Body Refining.
Just as Mo Qing said, Body Cultivators stimulate the Physical Body with external forces to enhance the Physical Body's limits.
Whether it was the previous purple fire Body Tempering, or the Nine Stars Body Refining Art using the power of stars to temper one's physique.
They all had the same effect.
Before entering the Gravity Chamber, Lu Sheng could at most temper himself by relying on the power of fire and the power of stars between heaven and earth.
But now, there was the added stimulation of gravity.
This way, his Body Refining cultivation speed would also increase significantly.
Thinking of this, Lu Sheng immediately immersed himself in cultivation.
This was an incredibly rare Body Refining Holy Land!
...
At the same time, outside the Gravity Chamber, Wu Lin, who had opened his eyes at some point, looked in the direction of the Gravity Chamber and suddenly spoke.
"How long do you think it will take Lu Sheng to adapt to sixty-four times gravity?"
Mo Qing glanced at the Gravity Chamber, pondered for a moment, then said, "Wang Mu took half a month back then; I imagine Lu Sheng should be about the same!"
Wu Lin smiled faintly at Mo Qing's answer, as if he had long expected Mo Qing to reply in this manner.
"I told you, Wang Mu shouldn't be your Heart Demon. Day in and day out, you use Wang Mu as a measuring stick. Is he your father?!"
Wu Lin said grumpily.
Mo Qing lowered his head and fell silent.
He knew this wasn't good, but the days when Wang Mu was around had left too deep an impression on him.
So much so that... Mo Qing felt Wang Mu's presence in his life at all times.
Wu Lin looked at Mo Qing, his eyes slightly profound. After a moment, Wu Lin slowly said, "I bet he will definitely adapt within twenty days!"
Mo Qing immediately looked up, his expression somewhat surprised, yet a hint of defiance lingered between his eyebrows.
"Disciple admits his speed in purple fire Body Tempering was very fast, and his talent was Heaven-Defying, but purple fire Body Tempering and the Gravity Chamber are two different aspects."
"Even if Lu Sheng is a Prodigy, he can't surpass Wang Mu, can he?"
"Revered Master, you should be able to see this!"
Mo Qing seemed very agitated by Wu Lin's words.
Wu Lin smiled and said indifferently, "Rather than argue, let's look at the results. Mo Qing, you are still too superficial. When you can see the essence of things, perhaps you will be able to catch up to that little beast, Wang Mu!"
"The... essence of things?"
A hint of confusion appeared in Mo Qing's eyes.
Wu Lin glanced at Mo Qing, shook his head slightly, then turned his gaze to the Gravity Chamber. A faint glow flickered in his profound and weathered eyes.
"The Peak path seed pushed by Lin Xuan..."
"Currently, it seems pretty good, but whether he can reach the end, that's a big question mark!"
Wu Lin murmured softly, in a voice only he could hear... Inside the Gravity Chamber.
Lu Sheng sat quietly on the ground, the gravity having already reached two times.
Although two times gravity was different from the outside world, the difference wasn't very large, especially since Lu Sheng's cultivation and Body Refining had already reached an extremely high level.
So much so that... in just a few minutes, Lu Sheng directly adapted to the pressure of two times gravity.
Lu Sheng's gaze fell on a button on the stone wall.
That button was used to control the gravity.
After pondering for a moment, Lu Sheng pressed the button.
In an instant, the gravity immediately doubled.
Directly reaching four times gravity!
The moment four times gravity descended, Lu Sheng finally felt a trace of pressure.
This feeling was like several large stones, weighing hundreds of pounds, pressing down on his body. Under the pressure of the stones, Lu Sheng's entire body's muscles tightened at this moment.
Although there wasn't much discomfort, he generally felt uncomfortable all over.
After a moment of thought, Lu Sheng slowly stood up and adopted a very special posture.
And this posture was the Standing Stake stance that Kong Xin had taught Lu Sheng when he was still in Yun City.
Standing Stake is different from an ordinary horse stance. Although it looks like a somewhat strange movement, it can stretch all the muscles in the body.
Basically, when this posture is struck, it adds a load to all the muscles in the body.
Gravity, of course, is an external force.
However, to stimulate one's body with gravity, an external force, to achieve the effect of Body Refining, one still needs to use some movements.
It's not like the power of stars and the power of fire, where one only needs to circulate Martial Arts to absorb energy and temper oneself with that energy.
Therefore, Lu Sheng's idea was very simple: since he wanted to adapt to gravity, he would use Standing Stake as a method to temper his Physical Body!
Only in this way could he adapt to the increased gravity better and faster!
Drops of sweat secreted from Lu Sheng's forehead.
Even with Lu Sheng's current Body Refining cultivation, he would barely sweat even after standing in Standing Stake for nearly a day.
But don't forget, the gravity now was four times that of the outside world!
This four times wasn't just about putting a few stones on you; it was comprehensive, with almost every cell in the entire body enduring this gravity.
So much so that... in just a few minutes, sweat secreted from Lu Sheng's forehead.
(I saw a comment saying that he wasn't tired after fighting a pack of wolves, but got tired after standing for a while. Open your eyes and look carefully.)
And with the secretion of sweat, Lu Sheng slowly closed his eyes.
Although the feeling of all the cells and muscles in his body being torn apart was extremely painful for Lu Sheng, he was paradoxically enjoying it.
Because almost every second, Lu Sheng could feel the muscle cells throughout his body improving little by little in an extremely subtle way.
"This is the feeling..."
"Next, I just need to slowly increase it. When I can continuously perform Standing Stake under four times gravity without getting tired, then I can increase the gravity!"
Lu Sheng panted, muttering.
Just like that, time passed little by little...
A week later.
Inside the Gravity Chamber.
The immense gravity had already caused the space of the Gravity Chamber to slightly distort.
And inside the Gravity Chamber, Lu Sheng, dressed in a white combat training suit, was performing Standing Stake. His expression was extremely calm, and within his seemingly slender body, an extremely surging energy was accumulating little by little.
It seemed that once it reached a certain level, this energy would instantly roar out, erupting with powerful strength.
And at this moment, on the stone wall, where the gravity display was, three large characters clearly appeared.
"Sixteen times!"
Sixteen times gravity!
An ordinary person's limit is basically being able to withstand four or five times gravity; exceeding that by a little would cause instant fainting.
But, Lu Sheng was now able to withstand sixteen times gravity, and even perform Standing Stake under sixteen times gravity.
What's more, under sixteen times gravity, Lu Sheng performed Standing Stake without even a single drop of sweat!
This was the most terrifying aspect.
Suddenly, it was clearly visible that Lu Sheng's muscles rippled, as if something was flowing within them.
The next moment... Boom! ! !
Rumbling sounds suddenly echoed from within Lu Sheng's body, like the sound of boiling lava, accompanied by an extreme sense of pressure.
In an instant, an aura that only a Body Refining Fifth Layer Late Stage could release directly roared out from Lu Sheng's body.
"Body Refining Fifth Layer Late Stage! !"
Lu Sheng's eyes suddenly opened at this moment, and a sharp glint suddenly shot out from them.
For a week, Lu Sheng had been constantly absorbing the power of flame and the power of stars between heaven and earth while performing Standing Stake.
It was precisely because this place was close to Purple Fire that among the Five Elements powers in heaven and earth, only the power of flame was the most abundant. Otherwise, with the addition of other Five Elements powers, combined with Lu Sheng's Five Elements Saint Body, his cultivation speed could have been even faster!
But even so, in just one week, he broke through to the Late Stage of Body Refining Level Five.
Such a speed, looking at the entire Great Xia, was astonishing enough.
"I've broken through, and this sixteen times gravity... I seem to have adapted to it!"
Lu Sheng murmured softly, then his gaze fell back on the button.
Without any hesitation, Lu Sheng pressed the button instantly.
As the button was pressed, in an instant, an extremely powerful force erupted throughout the entire gravity chamber.
Thirty-two times gravity!
It far exceeded sixteen times gravity.
Even though Lu Sheng had already broken through to the Late Stage of Body Refining Level Five, facing the sudden thirty-two times gravity, his body still trembled for an instant.
Even without Standing Stake, all his muscles completely spasmed at this moment.
"Hiss!!"
Lu Sheng couldn't help but gasp, and a hint of pain appeared in his pupils.
Thirty-two times gravity was very terrifying.
Even a Martial Artist of Body Refining Level Five, if they suddenly endured such great gravity, it was very likely to damage their Physical Body.
It was only because Lu Sheng had experienced the suppression of different gravities during this period, coupled with the Breakthrough in his Body Refining cultivation, otherwise, the sudden arrival of thirty-two times gravity would have been truly unbearable.
"Hoo, hoo, hoo!!"
Lu Sheng gasped for air, and although his veins were already bulging at this moment, he still endured the pain from his entire body and slowly, bit by bit, assumed the Standing Stake posture.
In an instant, a huge tearing sensation once again enveloped Lu Sheng's mind.
"Ah!!!"
A scream echoed.
Outside the gravity chamber, Wu Lin, who had been lying on a rattan chair, suddenly opened his eyes, and a pair of deep eyes looked towards the location of the gravity chamber.
"Thirty-two times, eh?"
"This speed is indeed somewhat incredible!"
Wu Lin murmured softly, and a thoughtful expression appeared in his deep eyes.
"However, after reaching thirty-two times, the real difficulty begins. Some people might never be able to break their own limits in their entire lives."
"If you, young man, can truly withstand sixty-four times gravity within twenty days, this old man won't mind passing on my Legacy to you!"
"The premise is... you have to do it!"
Wu Lin seemed to be talking to himself, but when he looked in the direction of the gravity chamber, a hint of anticipation had already appeared in his eyes... Time was passing.
Another week went by.
Outside the gravity chamber, by the Purple Fire Furnace.
Wu Lin and Mo Qing stood in front of the stone wall, and before their eyes, a light screen slowly appeared.
Within the light screen, it was precisely the scene of Lu Sheng inside the gravity chamber.
However, both Wu Lin and Mo Qing were somewhat silent.
This was because, in that image, at the location indicating the gravity level, there were several large characters clearly displayed.
Sixty-four times!
Lu Sheng had already activated sixty-four times gravity!
But... only two weeks had passed!
Two weeks, from the first time entering the gravity chamber, to being able to activate sixty-four times gravity.
This speed... even Wu Lin fell into silence.
"Revered Master... how long did it take you when you first entered the gravity chamber at your fastest speed?"
Suddenly, Mo Qing looked at Wu Lin with some confusion.
Wu Lin was silent for a moment, then said, "This old man didn't have such a good thing as a gravity chamber back then, but this old man estimates... I couldn't have been this fast!"
As soon as these words came out, Mo Qing's pupils slightly constricted.
Even Wu Lin admitted that he was inferior to Lu Sheng.
Then... "This guy..."
Mo Qing's words carried a hint of bitterness, and he looked at the light screen, a complex expression appearing in his eyes.
"Could it be... that he is even more of a Prodigy than Wang Mu?"
Wu Lin slowly withdrew his gaze, seemingly having regained his composure, and after a moment, he said faintly, "Now, the outcome is already clear."
"You also need to try and overcome your Heart Demon!"
"That Wang Mu is not unbeatable."
Mo Qing lowered his head, his face unclear, but in an instant, one could feel a faint, gloomy sensation emanating from Mo Qing's body.
After a moment, Mo Qing slowly raised his head, but at this moment, a smile appeared on his face.
"Revered Master, if I can defeat Lu Sheng, will I be able to step out of Wang Mu's shadow?"
Wu Lin looked at his Disciple, and couldn't help but rub his temples with a headache.
"No, I'm afraid you'll just add another Heart Demon, Lu Sheng, at that time."
Mo Qing: ????
What do you mean?
Are you looking down on me that much?
I'm at least the Prodigy of the previous generation, right? If I can't beat Wang Mu, does that mean I can't beat Lu Sheng either?
I finally wanted to regain some of my former confidence from Lu Sheng, so why are you suddenly belittling me?
Who is your Disciple after all!
For a moment, Mo Qing's eyes became slightly resentful.
"I..."
Mo Qing was just about to say something, but suddenly, the two of them seemed to sense something and abruptly looked at the light screen.
"What does he want to do!!"
Suddenly, Mo Qing exclaimed.
Only to see that in the light screen, Lu Sheng stopped his Standing Stake posture and slowly walked to the button's location.
Lu Sheng's eyes seemed extremely firm, as if he had made some decision.
But when Mo Qing and Wu Lin saw Lu Sheng's action, their pupils instantly constricted.
Lu Sheng still wanted to press the button?
But if he pressed it, the gravity would reach one hundred twenty-eight times!
One hundred twenty-eight times gravity was not something a Martial Artist of the Bone Forging Realm, nor a Martial Artist of Body Refining Level Five, could withstand.
Even a Martial Artist of Body Refining Level Six, or even the Shackles Realm, could suffer physical damage.
How dare Lu Sheng do that!
Just as Mo Qing exclaimed, in the image, Lu Sheng had already pressed the button.
Rumble!!!
Even with the entire stone wall isolated, an endless roar could be heard emanating from the gravity chamber.
Extreme gravity instantly spread.
Even outside the gravity chamber, Wu Lin and Mo Qing could feel that terrifying oppressive force.
So much so that subtle cracks had already appeared on the stone wall.
"This..."
Mo Qing's pupils continuously constricted, and he suddenly turned his head to look at Wu Lin, his face a little anxious.
"Revered Master, isn't this kid too impulsive? Sixty-four times was already his limit. This one hundred twenty-eight times..."
Mo Qing didn't finish the rest of his sentence.
One hundred twenty-eight times was enough to completely crush a Martial Artist of Body Refining Level Five into a pulp!
How dare Lu Sheng do that!
Wu Lin's face also showed a hint of shock, but he stared intently at Lu Sheng's figure in the light screen, a thoughtful expression flashing in his eyes.
After a few breaths of silence, Wu Lin's tightly furrowed brows also relaxed.
"So that's it, this kid really is a madman!"
Suddenly, Wu Lin smiled.
"Huh?"
Mo Qing looked at Wu Lin's smile, suddenly feeling confused. He couldn't understand why Wu Lin was still smiling at this point.
Shouldn't they be pulling Lu Sheng out now?
But before Mo Qing could remain confused for too long, suddenly, in the image, Lu Sheng's body trembled slightly.
A faint power slowly emanated from Lu Sheng's body.
"This is..."
"Body Refining Level Six!!"
Mo Qing looked at Lu Sheng in the image, his pupils slightly constricted.
