Long Chongshan, Gravity Trial

Long Chongshan is a mountain range and valley. Beside the valley are some Inkstone Giant Stones, giving a feeling of heaviness. Within the mountain range are Sky-reaching Ancient Trees, all incredibly thick; ten people embracing one might not be able to encircle it.

"Old man, is this Long Chongshan?" Long Jiuyyao asked, looking at the valley ahead.

"En, Yao'er, this is where our clan tempers their bodies. However, one must be at least in the Origin Core Realm to enter. But because you possess the Ancient Dragon Bone, I've let you in."

"The stones below, the lightest weigh a hundred jin, and the heaviest exceed tens of thousands of jin. For now, you just need to move all those hundred-jin Azure Stones to the other side of the valley, and then move them back."

"Also, those ancient trees, you need to chop down fifty of them before you can come out," Yuan Gan said.

"What's so difficult about that?" Long Jiuyyao said with a smile. Yuan Gan behind him showed a strange expression.

"Then go down." Yuan Gan said with a smile.

"Okay." Long Jiuyyao nodded. He took a step and leisurely walked towards the valley.

However, when he descended into the valley, Long Jiuyyao's expression suddenly changed. A terrifying pressure fell upon him, causing his body to plummet straight down.

"So heavy." Long Jiuyyao's face changed drastically. With a loud rumble, his body crashed directly to the ground. He could barely stand on his legs, feeling as if his entire body had fallen apart. He felt extremely uncomfortable, as if his internal organs were all falling downwards.

"Yao'er, cultivate well." Yuan Gan said with a smile, then turned and left. Yuan Xin gave him a smug look and said to Long Jiuyyao, "Brother, enjoy yourself. Don't forget to move stones and chop trees."

"How can it be this terrifying?" Long Jiuyyao stood up straight, feeling an extremely powerful force acting upon his entire body. Even the Yuan Power within him was not circulating smoothly.

When a force reaches its limit, it can undergo a qualitative change. This gravity domain had reached such a limit.

"Dong!" He took a step, and the ground let out a muffled sound. Long Jiuyyao glanced at the giant stones, then at the ancient trees, feeling an urge to cry!

"Damn it, I spoke too soon." Long Jiuyyao's face was bitter. No wonder his father had that expression.

"Hoo!"

A dazzling Dark Gold Radiance emanated from Long Jiuyyao's body. He could finally move, unlike when he first entered, though it was still very slow.

"Dong dong dong!"

Long Jiuyyao walked to a giant Inkstone Giant Stone and muttered, "I wonder how heavy this giant stone is."

Long Jiuyyao mobilized the Pitch-black Yuan Power within him, then attached the terrifying Yin Sha Power to his arm. With a sudden exertion, a rumbling sound echoed. Long Jiumo forcefully lifted a giant stone, but immediately, a terrifying shockwave sounded. The ground seemed to crack, and the giant stone fell back down. Long Jiumo collapsed on top of it, panting.

"This giant stone is only a hundred jin, but that's in other places. Here, the gravity is a thousand times, ten thousand times greater!" Long Jiuyyao lamented inwardly. He couldn't even lift a stone.

Helpless, he walked towards the forest and picked up an axe beside him, swinging it at an ancient tree. However, he only managed to scrape off a layer of bark. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, but this ancient tree was not rooted too firmly.

He glanced back at the row of giant stones. There seemed to be slightly smaller stones next to them. Long Jiuyyao walked over and picked one up. He then began to walk with great difficulty. With every step, he left a deep footprint on the ground, as if he were sinking into the earth.

"Damn, so heavy." Long Jiuyyao was depressed but could only grit his teeth and persevere. After taking more than ten steps, he was covered in sweat, but he still gritted his teeth tightly.

Being tested in Gravity Mountain made him feel the most primal sensation. Constantly breaking through his limits, he was squeezing his physical body, making his bodily strength grow stronger.

For the past half month, he had gradually adapted to the terrifying gravity, and could now walk and run as usual. This in itself was a great improvement.

Long Jiuyyao trained silently in the Dragon Chongshan. Occasionally, he would see others entering to train in another direction of the canyon. With seven days left before the clan gathering, he could finally lift the giant stones and wield the great axe to chop ancient trees.

And every seven days, Yuan Gan and Yuan Xin would come to see him.

On this day, Long Jiuyyao was chopping trees again. Now, every swing of his axe was effortless, as if by inertia. He integrated the Yin Sha Power into his axe, making tiny progress with each swing. As time accumulated, this progress gradually magnified. He could now chop deeper with every swing.

"This little fellow is improving so fast." Yuan Gan and the others arrived again, sitting on the canyon rim and watching Long Jiuyyao swing his axe, striking the ancient trees. The ancient trees actually showed deep cracks. After dozens of swings, an ancient tree fell.

This time, Yuan Gan didn't leave. He watched Long Jiuyyao chop trees. Without taking a day, Long Jiuyyao chopped down fifty trees, but he didn't give up and continued chopping.

"He's not planning to chop down that entire forest, is he? The Tree Planting Elder would be heartbroken," Yuan Xin muttered. Every tree here was a seed, and the elder's duty was to help those seeds grow quickly, and then provide them for the dragon clan disciples to temper their physiques.

"Why is he getting weaker and weaker? It's taking him so long to chop down one tree?" Yuan Xin frowned, looking puzzled.

"He's not using the Ancient Dragon Bone or Yuan Power now. He's using pure physical strength to chop," Yuan Gan said, causing Yuan Xin's bright eyes to blink.

"Your brother is working hard for the clan gathering, and you're still slacking off here. The clan gathering starts in just seven days," Yuan Gan said, touching Yuan Xin's forehead.

"Oh, Dad, I'm not slacking off. I'm just balancing work and rest. I've been cultivating too," Yuan Xin said, revealing her aura of the late Earth Origin Realm.

"You always have a reason for everything. Your cousin Liu Qing is also participating in this clan gathering. He has already stepped into the Lesser Origin Core Realm," Yuan Gan said helplessly.

Long Jiuyyao was unaware of the conversation between Yuan Gan and Yuan Xin. He was still chopping trees, resting when he was tired, and then continuing to move giant stones.

Now, he did these things willingly and was very optimistic. Occasionally, when he had an epiphany, he would practice his axe skills on the giant stones. He lived a very comfortable life.

Although his cultivation realm hadn't improved, he wasn't anxious. Realm advancement was a natural process. Only with a solid foundation could his combat power be strong. When his realm improved, he would naturally become even stronger.

Several more days passed. Long Jiuyyao lay comfortably on a giant stone. Sunlight streamed into the canyon and onto his body. The lines of his body were now more aesthetically pleasing – the Aesthetic of Strength.

He had gradually become accustomed to the terrifying gravity in the canyon. He knew he was undergoing a baptism, and his pure physical body had become much stronger than before.

"Brother." A voice disturbed Long Jiuyyao's pleasant dream. He opened his eyes and saw Yuan Xin on the canyon rim.

"Xin'er." Long Jiuyyao sat up and looked at Yuan Xin.

"What? You've chopped down the entire forest, and you're still reluctant to come out?" Yuan Xin glanced at the forest and inwardly marveled. Brother Jiuyyao was truly formidable. He had adapted so quickly and had actually chopped down the entire forest.

Long Jiuyyao smiled, then stomped his foot. His body actually shot upwards against the gravity. He then landed on the edge of the canyon. In this instant, without the powerful gravity, Long Jiuyyao felt light and weightless. This feeling was wonderful.

"Boom!"

A powerful surge of Yin Sha Power erupted, revealing his late Earth Origin Realm aura. Long Jiuyyao quickly restrained it. After a month of accumulation and explosive growth, his cultivation realm and strength had improved by another level.

"Why do you have time to visit, little sister?" Long Jiuyyao asked with a smile.

"You silly brother, the clan gathering is tomorrow. Dad sent me to call you back," Yuan Xin said coquettishly.

"Haha, let's go then."

Long Jiuyyao first returned to his room to take a bath and change his clothes. He put on a Dragon Pattern Black Robe, his obsidian-like hair casually tied behind him. His eyes, like the night, held a calmness unbefitting his age, and his slightly youthful, handsome face was full of determination.

Long Jiuyyao once again arrived at the mountain peak from last time, looking at the pierced boulder with a smile.

"Dragon Finger, Seal of Life and Death."

His distinct index finger was surrounded by dark Yin Sha Power. However, this time, the index finger showed no cracks. As the Yin Sha Power condensed, it resembled a dark, furious dragon coiling around his finger.

The dark, furious dragon on his index finger shot towards the giant Azure Stone like a meteor. The moment it made contact, the Azure Stone was pierced, and the terrifying Yin Sha Power spread out.

The next moment, the Azure Stone turned into an ice sculpture, emitting waves of coldness. The instant Long Jiuyyao touched it, the Azure Stone shattered into ice shards.

"Hiss! This is practically comparable to a Creation Martial Art."

Long Jiuyyao knew that this power was due to the terrifying Primordial Dragon Bone in his finger bones and the absorbed Yin Sha Power.

Otherwise, a Ninth Grade Martial Art would absolutely not be able to bridge such a gap and be comparable to a Creation Martial Art.
