310: Chapter 310 Tempering the Physical Body

Gao Feng's body sank slightly, and his bones let out a creaking sound as if they would be crushed at any moment. However, he did not retreat in the slightest; instead, he raised his head, straightened his back, and allowed that gravity to frantically oppress his Physical Body.

"Good! Good! Good!"

He said the word 'good' three times in a row. Not only was there no pain in his eyes, but they were filled with excitement. This pressure was exactly what he needed! Since his Star Battle Body had achieved success in cultivation, it had been a long time since he felt this sensation of being oppressed.

And this oppression was precisely the best way to temper the Physical Body.

He activated his Star Battle Body, and the pale purple starlight within his body flowed slowly, forming a faint protective halo on the surface of his body. As soon as that halo appeared, it was compressed inward by the gravity, clinging tightly to his skin as if it wanted to merge into his flesh and blood.

Gao Feng did not resist, but instead guided that gravity, letting it penetrate into his Physical Body. Under the pressure of gravity, his muscles trembled slightly, his bones creaked, his tendons were taut and stretched, and every cell in his body was enduring immense pressure.

But under this very oppression, his Physical Body began to undergo changes.

Those oppressed muscles became tighter and more resilient amidst the trembling; those oppressed bones became denser and harder amidst the creaking; those oppressed tendons became more flexible and powerful amidst the stretching. Even the blood in his body flowed more slowly under the pressure of gravity, yet it was also more forceful, with every heartbeat pumping blood to every corner of his body.

Gao Feng could clearly feel that his Physical Body was becoming stronger at a speed visible to the naked eye!

"It really is effective!"

He was overjoyed and immediately set off, walking toward the depths of the boulder field. Every step required ten times more strength than in the outside world; every step allowed him to feel his Physical Body constantly being tempered and improved under the heavy pressure.

One step, two steps, three steps...

Ten steps, twenty steps, thirty steps...

He walked deeper and deeper, getting further away from the entrance, and the gravity he endured grew heavier and heavier. After he had walked a hundred steps, the gravity had increased by another twenty percent compared to the entrance, reaching about twelve times that of the outside world.

Gao Feng's footsteps began to grow heavy, and his breathing became labored. Fine beads of sweat seeped from his forehead, and as soon as they appeared, they were pulled downward by gravity, splashing onto the Meteor Stars on the ground with a pitter-patter sound.

But he still did not stop.

He gritted his teeth and walked forward step by step. Every step was extremely difficult, yet every step was extremely firm.

At the entrance of the first floor, Luo Li and the others were nervously watching the figure in the boulder field. Although separated by a long distance, they could still clearly see Gao Feng's back as he struggled forward.

"He's walked over a hundred steps," Luo Li said softly, her eyes full of worry. "That gravity is so terrifying, can he hold on?"

Chu Lan was equally worried, but she still comforted her, saying, "Senior Brother Gao Feng's Physical Body is far stronger than we imagine. Since he dared to enter alone, he must be certain."

Yao Guang did not speak, only clenching her hands tightly, ready at any moment to rush in and heal Gao Feng. Although she knew that with her Foundation Establishment Third Layer Mid Stage cultivation, she would be crushed the moment she stepped into that gravity zone, she still prepared herself.

Lin Yue stood to the side, looking at Gao Feng's back with eyes full of admiration. He was a defensive Cultivator himself and knew the importance of the Physical Body better than anyone. But even so, he wouldn't be able to last even a single breath under that ten-fold gravity. Yet Gao Feng could not only endure it but also walk toward the depths step by step; this physical strength was simply breathtaking.

Tian Xin asked softly, "Are we just going to watch?"

Luo Li shook her head and said, "We can't just watch."

She took out the flowing sound zither and sat cross-legged, her slender fingers lightly plucking the strings. A melodious zither sound rang out, penetrating the gravity zone and entering Gao Feng's ears.

It was the "Pure Heart Melody."

As the zither music entered his ears, Gao Feng felt his mind shake, and the irritability and fatigue caused by the gravity's pressure actually dissipated a lot at this moment. He looked back toward the entrance; although he couldn't see Luo Li's figure clearly, he knew that his teammates were supporting him in their own way.

He smiled slightly, turned his head, and continued walking forward.

One hundred and fifty steps, gravity reached thirteen times.

Two hundred steps, gravity reached fourteen times.

Two hundred and fifty steps, gravity reached fifteen times.

When Gao Feng had walked three hundred steps, the gravity had reached sixteen times that of the outside world! His body trembled slightly under the heavy pressure, and fine beads of blood seeped from the surface of his skin—a sign of capillaries bursting under the intense pressure. But his gaze remained firm, and his footsteps still did not stop.

Just then, a slight sound came from behind him.

He looked back and saw Chu Lan struggling as she crouched at the entrance, her hands pressed against the ground. Her face was as pale as paper, and the veins on her forehead bulged, clearly enduring immense pressure. But she still gritted her teeth and persisted, her hands constantly forming seals as strands of Qi overflowed from her fingertips and seeped into the ground beneath her feet.

Soon, small vines grew out from the ground. As soon as those vines appeared, they were pressed to the ground by gravity, but they still stubbornly grew and spread, gradually forming a small green area at the entrance.

That was a Spirit Plant Array.

Although these vines could not survive for long in the gravity zone, they could absorb the stray Meteor Star Power in the air and convert it into pure Qi to be released. Although that Qi was weak, it was a precious supplement for Gao Feng, who was struggling forward in the gravity zone.

Gao Feng could feel a faint wisp of Qi drifting from behind him, slowly merging into his body. Although that Qi was weak, it gave his heavily exhausted Physical Body a moment to breathe.

He looked back again at the figure at the entrance, a flicker of emotion flashing in his eyes.

Then, he continued walking forward.

Three hundred and fifty steps, gravity reached seventeen times.

Four hundred steps, gravity reached eighteen times.

Four hundred and fifty steps, gravity reached nineteen times.

When Gao Feng reached five hundred steps, the gravity had reached a terrifying twenty times! His body trembled violently under the heavy pressure, his bones let out an overburdened creaking sound, and more and more blood beads appeared on his skin, dyeing his entire person blood-red. But his gaze remained firm, and his footsteps still did not stop.

At the end of his vision, a massive Meteor Star stone platform was vaguely visible. That platform was carved entirely from purple Meteor Star crystals, measuring ten meters square, and an ancient book was placed on the surface, emitting a faint golden light.

That was the core Legacy of the second floor!

Gao Feng gritted his teeth and walked toward that stone platform step by step. Every step required all of his strength; every step allowed him to feel the limits of his Physical Body being constantly challenged and broken through.

His consciousness began to blur, and his vision began to falter, but his footsteps still did not stop.

Finally, when he reached the stone platform, his body was on the verge of collapse. His legs trembled violently, making him almost unable to stand; he propped his hands on the stone platform to barely stabilize his form; his breathing was as heavy as an ox's, each breath carrying blood foam.

But he smiled.

He reached out a trembling hand and grabbed toward that ancient book.

The moment his fingers touched the ancient book, it suddenly burst forth with a brilliant golden light! The light enveloped Gao Feng entirely, and a vast amount of information flooded into his Sea of Consciousness like a tide.

It was a Body Refining Cultivation Technique called the "Myriad Weight Hegemon Body"!

This technique was created specifically for Cultivating in extreme gravity environments. The practitioner needs to use gravity to oppress the Physical Body, guiding the power of gravity to temper the bones and tendons until the Physical Body can withstand ten thousand catties of force. Upon reaching Major Achievement, a single punch can shatter stars, a single kick can split the earth, and the Physical Body is strong enough to withstand a full-strength strike from a Golden Core Stage Cultivator!

A look of wild joy flashed in Gao Feng's eyes.

This was exactly what he needed!

He immediately sat cross-legged and, according to the technique's description, guided that twenty-fold gravity to slowly penetrate his body. The power of gravity was like thousands of fine needles piercing into his muscles, bones, tendons, and internal organs; the pain was almost unbearable. But he gritted his teeth and endured it firmly, allowing that gravity power to run rampant within his Physical Body.

Amidst this extreme pain, his Physical Body began to undergo an earth-shaking transformation.

Those muscles pierced by gravity power constantly contracted and relaxed in pain, becoming tighter and stronger with each cycle. Those bones enveloped by gravity power constantly shattered and reformed under the pressure, becoming denser and harder with each reconstruction. Those tendons washed by gravity power constantly tore and healed during the stretching, becoming more flexible and powerful with each recovery.

At the same time, the Star Battle Body within him also began to operate on its own. The pale purple starlight and the golden gravity power intertwined and fused with each other, actually gradually evolving into a brand-new power.

It was an overbearing power that combined both Meteor Star Power and gravity power!

Gao Feng could clearly feel that his Physical Body was becoming stronger at an astonishing speed. That speed of strengthening was more than ten times faster than any of his previous Cultivation sessions!

Time passed quietly without him realizing it.

One day, two days, three days...

Gao Feng sat cross-legged on the Meteor Star stone platform, motionless. His entire body was enveloped in a layer of faint golden light, which grew brighter and more intense until it eventually almost submerged him entirely.

And at the entrance of the first floor, Luo Li and the others were waiting anxiously.

"It's been three days," Luo Li said softly, her eyes full of worry. "He's been in there for three days."

Chu Lan comforted her, "Don't worry, Senior Brother Gao Feng's Physical Body is so strong, nothing will happen. And look, the light on that stone platform is getting brighter and brighter, which means he is Cultivating, and it's a Cultivation with gains."
