Time flowed by, and Li Yang numbed himself, training desperately, constantly training…

In the blink of an eye, Li Yang had been training for half a year.

"Drip!" Sweat dripped from Li Yang's face. The muscles all over his body gave off an unreal sensation, hazy and indistinct. This was because the True Qi within Li Yang's body was completely resisting the immense gravity along with his muscle strength. True Qi coiled around the surface of his muscles, and sweat dripped down…

"120!" Li Yang held a massive boulder with both hands, repeatedly lifting and lowering it. The strength in his arms erupted, while his legs remained firmly planted in a horse stance. No matter how heavy the boulder was, Li Yang's stance remained steady.

Waves of powerful gravity continuously transferred from the boulder to Li Yang's arms, further pressuring his legs rooted in the horse stance. Li Yang's muscles had incredible resilience. It was unclear if it was due to the Marrow Cleansing Pill's medicinal properties integrating into his muscles, but Li Yang's physical strength was constantly increasing, and the intensity of his training escalated repeatedly. The Internal Energy within Li Yang, after continuous consumption and replenishment, had already reached the peak of the third layer.

Li Yang comprehended the third layer's realm, approaching the state of natural harmony. The degree to which he merged with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth reached an unimaginable level. Meanwhile, Overlord Xiang Yu continuously helped Li Yang accelerate his absorption of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Nowadays, Li Yang absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth as easily as drinking water…

"Hoo!" Li Yang let out a fierce roar, his arms suddenly exerting force, and he tossed the boulder aside.

"Gulp, gulp…" Li Yang picked up a bottle of mineral water from the training room and tilted his head back, pouring it directly into his mouth. Without any pause, he finished the entire bottle.

The depleted True Qi began to circulate wildly again. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth poured into Li Yang's body like cheap tap water. Under the circulation of True Qi, Li Yang's True Qi quickly recovered, and it even increased slightly compared to before.

Test!

Li Yang casually picked up a small bottle of Erguotou, weighing one or two taels, and slowly drank the strong liquor, then slowly walked out of the training room.

The weight display in the training room clearly showed '5'!

Under five times gravity, what did that boulder weighing over a hundred jin represent? Moreover, Li Yang was also bearing his own weight. If he hadn't been madly supporting himself with Internal Energy, his physical body simply couldn't have endured. However, only by training like this could he numb his painful and lonely heart.

Testing area.

Li Yang activated the testing device and walked into its range. Immediately, testing light rays shot into Li Yang's body. After a while, the light began to dim.

"1080 crystals!"

Li Yang looked at the result and smiled slightly, thinking, The third layer of the Six Extremes Pure Yang Technique has reached its peak. My Internal Energy is close to a thousand crystals. I wonder how much muscle energy I have? But it seems to be around a hundred crystals.

"Li Yang, you brat, your progress in these six months has been truly immense. According to this Hegemon's Primordial Spirit's careful assessment, your Internal Energy should be around 950 crystals, and your physical energy has reached 130 crystals. My goodness, this Hegemon is astonished. Technology is truly incredible, able to alter gravity. Amazing!" Xiang Yu's voice echoed in Li Yang's mind.

Li Yang smiled slightly and thought, Hegemon, this is nothing, just altering magnetic fields. But I am puzzled. Although my training this past half-year has been frantic, my physical body has gone from over 70 crystals to the current 130 crystals. This progress is too rapid.

Xiang Yu chuckled, "You brat, hehe, who has training conditions like yours? Under five times gravity, logically, you shouldn't be able to endure with your strength. But you're using Internal Energy recklessly. Fortunately, your absorption speed of heaven and earth spiritual energy is fast, and with my help, your Internal Energy replenishes quickly, which is why you can withstand the consumption. There's another point: the Marrow Cleansing Pill is a spiritual medicine used by cultivators. Its medicinal properties only integrated into your body back then, and now, as you train, they are truly beginning to take effect. Without the Marrow Cleansing Pill, you wouldn't have been able to progress so quickly."…

Li Yang nodded slightly, then continued drinking the strong liquor, slowly walking back to the training room. For some reason, during this period, no matter how much strong liquor Li Yang drank, he wouldn't get drunk. In his training room, there was a large pile of empty liquor bottles in the corner, yet Li Yang had never gotten drunk.

The five-times gravity training room was where Li Yang lived and slept. When he slept, he automatically circulated Internal Energy to counteract the immense gravity. Fortunately, he didn't sleep holding the large boulder; his Internal Energy could easily bear his own weight.

Days passed, and Li Yang's life remained within that training room.

A week later, Li Yang was cultivating his internal energy with his eyes closed, focusing wholeheartedly. The increase in True Qi was much greater.

"Rumble!" Waves of True Qi frantically circulated within Li Yang's body, then returned to his Dantian. His past Dantian was like a bottomless pit, but today, it finally seemed to be filling up. Waves of True Qi continuously integrated into it, and the True Qi within the Dantian was constantly being compressed and condensed…

Li Yang's mind recalled the incantation for the fourth layer of the Demon Yang Canon, which was also the fourth layer of the Six Extremes Pure Yang Technique. As if by divine inspiration, Li Yang's consciousness controlled the True Qi in his Dantian to begin rotating along a specific trajectory…

Constant compression…

Constant condensation…

Suddenly, a liquid like a drop of water formed, and then drop by drop, 'water' formed. This was liquid formed by the condensation of True Qi. During the formation of the 'water,' drop by drop, the 'water' began to transform into a new type of True Qi.

This new True Qi was precisely—Innate True Qi.

Houtian True Qi was continuously condensed, then transformed into Innate True Qi through the 'water.' However, the condensation speed far exceeded the speed of transformation into Innate True Qi, so the 'water' in the Dantian increased.

Suddenly, the Houtian True Qi was completely transformed. The 'water' in the Dantian rotated like a swirling nebula. Spiritual energy from heaven and earth was continuously absorbed, and Innate True Qi flowed out from this 'nebula.'

The fourth layer of the Six Extremes Pure Yang Technique!

Li Yang had finally broken through the Houtian stage and reached the Innate stage!

A faint smile appeared on Li Yang's lips. He slowly opened his eyes, casually picked up a bottle of strong liquor placed beside him, and shot a wisp of energy from his fingertip, directly blasting off the cap. Li Yang poured the liquor into his mouth.

"Not bad, the efficiency of this Innate True Qi in blasting off the bottle cap is much better than using Houtian True Qi. Last time, I used Houtian True Qi and it took two or three tries to succeed!" Li Yang muttered to himself.
