Chapter 225: The Gravity Training Grounds, Coming Out With Hands On The Wall, One Year

Towering Heaven Palace.

Chu Kuangren was in the middle of cultivating.

It had been more than half a month since his return to the Black Heaven Sect. During that time, he had been busy more than half the time managing the sect’s internal affairs with the various elders.

That was the first time he felt the difference between being an Elder Senior Brother and a Sect Master.

‘Phew, it’s quite tiring work.’

“Didn’t Honorable Teacher say that I can be a sluggish Sect Leader and simply be a Sect Leader in a name? Now that’s a big fat lie,” Chu Kuangren muttered helplessly.

“Well, let’s make a draw and relax.”

Chu Kuangren opened the Fantasy Roulette and began to draw his daily gacha.

“Congratulations user, you’ve received a Starlight grade Formation Technique – Gravity Boundary Field”

‘Formation Technique?’

Chu Kuangren stroked his chin and thought.

He had not obtained many Formation Techniques in the past. Among them, the Towering Heaven Palace’s Spirit Gathering Array Formation and the Legendary grade Four Seasons Sword Formation were the most outstanding ones.

Moreover, those two Formation Techniques had served him very well, especially the latter which helped him to kill a Sage.

Now he had obtained another one, the Gravity Boundary Field.

“Perhaps this Formation Technique may be quite useful.” Chu Kuangren pondered and sent a message to Elder Ruyan.

Not long after, another palace hall appeared in the Black Heaven Sect.

“Sect Leader, is there any reason behind your request to construct this palace hall? Is the Towering Heaven Palace not big enough for you?” Elder Ruyan asked curiously.

Both of them were outside the palace where Chu Kuangren chuckled. “You’ll find out very soon. Come, follow me inside.”

Both of them then entered the palace hall.

As per Chu Kuangren’s request, the palace hall had a very spacious interior space and was constructed with a very strong structure even though it was not gorgeous. There were even some Daoist runes carved in certain places, which were hard for Honorables to destroy too.

Upon entering the palace hall, Chu Kuangren’s heart moved a little as he took out the Gravity Boundary Field and placed it inside the palace hall.

Suddenly, the entire palace rumbled and a few changes happened. A few inconspicuous black stones had appeared in the palace.

Those stones were the basis of the Gravity Boundary Field Formation.

Chu Kuangren walked to one of the stones and pressed on it.

A huge gravitational force suddenly erupted from the palace hall, and like a big mountain, it weighed upon Chu Kuangren and the Elder Ruyan.

“What’s going on?”

Elder Ruyan’s body shook, and she hurriedly channeled her spiritual energy to resist the sudden incoming gravitational force. Her face was full of surprise and shock.

Chu Kuangren continued to press onto the other stones, which continuously adjusted the strength of the gravitational force and caused it to either decrease or increase.

When it was at its most terrifying setting, even Elder Ruyan was almost pressed into the ground, unable to move, despite having channeled all her spiritual power.

“By… By the heavens, what kind of Formation Technique is this?”

“The Gravity Boundary Field.”

Chu Kuangren pressed on the last stone and disabled the Formation Technique.

Elder Ruyan’s body relaxed. Sweating all over, she asked with a slight pant, “Impressive, what an impressive Formation Technique indeed.”

Chu Kuangren chuckled. “The difficulty settings for this Gravity Boundary Field is divided into five levels, which are Easy, Normal, Hard, Nightmare, Hellish respectively.”

“Elder Ruyan, since you are an Honorable, the Nightmare difficulty would be most suitable for you. If it was the Hellish difficulty instead, you’ll be rendered immobile.”

“We can allow the disciples to test themselves using this Formation Technique. Under these immense pressures, they can train their physical strength, energy, and even spiritual energy. However, they’ll have to be careful with selecting a difficulty setting that suits them…”

Elder Ruyan’s eyes started to light up with excitement and wonder the more Chu Kuangren explained. She now understood the value of that Formation Technique.

This was no doubt a cultivation training area that was on par with the Sword Gauntlet!

Naturally, Elder Ruyan did not bother to ask where Chu Kuangren had gotten it from as she knew she would always get the same answer anyway.

‘It’s all from some g*d freaking d*mn Opportunity of Fortune.’

Chu Kuangren then taught Elder Ruyan the controls and settings for that Formation Technique and left the task of notifying others to her.

After exiting the palace hall, Chu Kuangren channeled sword qi at his finger and carved out a few words on the entrance of that palace hall… Gravity Training Grounds!

Simple and direct.

He then smiled satisfyingly. “This palace will be known as this name from now on.”

Beside him, Elder Ruyan was speechless for a while.

‘He’s clearly bad at naming things, yet he still does it.’

‘Forget about it.’

‘As long as the Sect Leader is happy.’

Not long after, news of the Gravity Training Grounds soon spread throughout the Black Heaven Sect.

Many disciples were eager to give it a go.

“I heard Qin Wushuang came to the Gravity Training Grounds a few days ago. He walked into it standing but came out with his hands against the wall as support. His feet had turned soft it seems.”

Daoist Jun Yi chuckled. The Qin Wushuang she was talking about was also one of the Daoists of the Black Heaven Sect who was not any weaker than her.

“You’re right. I’m also curious to try it as well and that’s why I’m here today.” Standing beside Jun Yi, Nangong Huang said.

“After you.”

The two Daoists, one male and another female both entered the Gravity Training Grounds.

As soon as they entered, both of them saw the black stones on the wall. Jun Yi then said, “This must be the basis of the Formation Technique that Elder Ruyan was talking about. The first one is Easy mode, the second one is Normal…”

“Nangong Huang, which one do you think we should try out first?”

“Heh, we can’t set an impractical goal as well. I heard that Elder Ruyan can only withstand the Hellish mode at best, so let’s go with this then.”

Nangong Huang simply said.

After all, they were Daoists with exceptional talents and superior combat strength. In fact, when it came to battle strength, they were actually no weaker than some of the elders.

This was especially for Nangong Huang who was a Young Emperor.

“Alright.”

Jun Yi nodded before she pressed on the stone.

A terrifyingly powerful force of gravity erupted in an instant!

Both of their expressions instantly changed, and before they could do anything, they were immediately pressed onto the ground with a bang.

“What a horrifying gravitational force.”

“We were careless!”

They then quickly tried to channel their spiritual energy to resist the gravitational force that was weighing down on them.

After around two hours, the gravitational force disappeared.

By then, both of them were already sweating profusely and trembling all over. They were also very sore and had no energy left, feeling as though they could not control their body anymore.

“The next time we come, let’s start from the Normal difficulty first.”

Nangong Huang said weakly.

Outside the Gravity Training Grounds, Murong Xuan had just arrived.

Before he could even go in, he saw the pale-faced Nangong Huang and Jun Yu walking out with both hands supporting the wall.

“Huh? What’s the matter with you two?”

“No thanks to the Gravity Training Grounds. It’s too terrifying.”

“Which level of difficulty did you two try?”

“The Hellish one!” Without waiting for Jun Yi to speak, Nangong Huang immediately said out loud, “As fellow Daoists, we should lead by example and strive to challenge our limits, so we went and tried the Hellish difficulty.”

“I see. This challenge of yours seems very hard indeed. ”

Murong Xuan took a look at both of them and shook his head.

After that, he walked into the training grounds.

Looking at the black stones on the wall, Murong Xuan smiled and said, “Judging by how Nangong Huang and the others were just now, the Hellish difficulty will no doubt be a terrible place to start. It’s best if I don’t take it lightly. Hmph, you want to mess with me, Nangong Huang? No way.”

“I’ll try out the Nightmare difficulty then.”

He then pressed onto the black stone.

A tremendous gravitational force immediately pressed him onto the ground.

“The f*ck! Nangong Huang, just you wait!”

Murong Xuan said as his mouth twitched.

Besides the Daoists, many too had come to try out the Gravity Training Grounds. With the Daoists’ wrong demonstrations, everyone had chosen a difficulty level that was suitable to them to avoid repeating their mistake.

Along with the Sword Gauntlet, the training progress of all of the disciples in the Black Heaven Sect soared within a short time and so did the overall quality.

As time flew by, one year had passed unknowingly.

During that year, Chu Kuangren remained in the Black Heaven Sect. Under his leadership, the whole Black Heaven Sect thrived and experienced rapid growth.

Although there were no major movements like territorial expansion, their internal strength had since increased by quite a few levels.
