Chapter 71 - 71: Passing The Trail And Opening Of Treasure Chamber.

Robert looked at Snowball near the stone tablet and sighed a breath of relief. He is not capable of carrying Snowball with him in this gravity field. 

This had no choice but to throw him outside although it caused a toll on him. Now he is thoroughly exhausted and he is feeling a bit dizzy. 

After throwing Snowballs his arm is in pain and he feels like his bones are dislocated. 

Robert endured the dizziness and walked toward the safe area near the stone tablet. His body is so heavy that every step is laborious. 

At this moment he only has one thought in his mind. He has to go outside and eat something to replenish energy and then have a long sweet sleep.

Finally, after a few minutes, Robert arrived in the safe zone. 

Thud!

The moment he arrived his body became weak and he had no strength to stand. Therefore he directly slumped on the ground breathing heavily 

With a trembling body, he stood up and checked the Snowball situation. After feeling Snowball's breath he was relieved.

As long as he is alive it's fine. Although he is not a doctor he can see that Snowball is just unconscious due to extreme stimulation and exhaustion.

After resting for a while he should wake up. Robert thought to himself as he sat down to rest.

All of this happened in just 20 or so minutes but Robert is thoroughly exhausted. He needs some food to replenish his energy. 

The strange thing is that there is no spiritual energy in his body. The whole body is emptied; there is not a single strand of spiritual energy in his body.

It disappeared out of thin air. Robert found this strange but he did not have an answer for this question.

"Ding… Congratulations on the initiation of 'Primogenial Body Art'..."

Robert heard the system prompt and was extremely surprised then he was ecstatic. 

He can finally start practising this cultivation technique. The last time he asked to help him practice the cultivation but the system asked him to pay 10,000 energy points.

But how can he pay so many energy points? Instead of putting so many energy points on an incomplete cultivation technique, it's better to increase his cultivation.

He asked the system how to start practising this body art. The system only said two words to him that time.

External Body Simulation!

To cultivate 'Primogenial Body Art' he needs to experience strong external stimulation on his body. 

At that time he did not know where to get an external body simulation. Should he sit under a waterfall? Like a ninja?

Didn't expect he would find it just here….. After all, an extreme gravity field can achieve the effect of external body stimulation.

It seems like a blessing in disguise… He opened the system panel and sure enough, he saw a new addition.

Technique: 'Primogenial Body Art' [First Layer(1/100)]

He just started so there is only one proficiency point. He has a long way before he can reach the next level.

Still, Robert felt extremely happy, Now he just needs to smash Energy points to upgrade.

Thinking of this Robert hesitated, Should I use energy points? Or should I train this exercise by myself? 

But how long will it take to fill up 100 proficiency points? He persisted under the gravity zone for 20 or so minutes and he only got one proficiency point! 

"System, how long will it take me to reach the next level if I practise under the gravity field?" Robert thought for a while and asked the system.

"10 Days!"

Hearing this Robert rolled his eyes he cannot wait this long. He wants to clear this place today and take all the treasure for himself and increase his strength. 

It's better to smash energy points and upgrade. Thinking of this he said in a determined voice.

"System upgrade my 'Primogenial Body Art' to next level." 

"Ding… 1000 points deducted…"

"Ding… Congratulations to the host for upgrading 'Primogenial Body Art' to the second layer…"

Robert's heart dripped with blood after seeing the 1000 energy points deducted from his account. Now he only has 1800 energy points. Too bad there is a limit on how much energy he can store, otherwise he would always carry ten thousand energy points with him.

Robert did not have any time to feel depressed about losing money because he experienced an unprecedented amount of pain that erupted from his body. 

Click!

There was a clear voice, bones grinding coming from his bones. This was not the sound of bones breaking but the sound of bones rubbing against each other.

Roberts muscles, bones, internal organs, muscles, tendons seemed to be shredded and re-casted by an unknown force. It should be done by the system…

What followed was severe pain, and Robert's brain was a little blank because of the pain.

Robert clenched his teeth trying not to scream, He bit the tip of his tongue trying to remain conscious. 

For him, every second is like an eternity. Time passed slowly. I don't know how long it has passed. 

The pain gradually dissipated, a powerful force emerged from the depths of his body making him feel comfortable. 

"Ding… Congratulations host you have entered 'Body Cleansing Realm'..." 

Robert was happy after hearing the system's notification. Directly skipping one grade and entering the second layer.

He has saved so much trouble by doing this. He thought of something and asked, "How many energy points would it need to reach the Third Layer?"

From the first layer to the second layer it took 1000 energy points so from the send layer to the third layer it should take 10000 energy points right?

"1,00,000 Energy points!" The system replied after hearing Roberts' question.

"What? Are you trying to scam me?" Robert jumped from the ground hearing the price. This price is outrageous. One lakh energy points! He can reach Core Formation Realm twice with these points. 

"Host, don't blame the system for this! Higher the cultivation more resources are needed for the upgrade. This situation will be normal in the future for the higher realm. More and more energy points will be needed for the upgrade. And you are practising Cultivation and Body refining at the same time so the resources required to level up is astronomical." The system said with indifference and explained the situation to Robert.

Roberts' mouth twitched after hearing the system. Doesn't that mean the price will only increase in future? 

How can he collect so many resources and convert them into Energy points? It's good that he has established his force otherwise he would struggle to collect all the resources by himself…

But this price is worth it… My power has increased...

Robert clenched his fist and thought to himself. After entering the Body Cleansing realm he felt his power increase to an astonishing level.

Not only that his defence is stronger and his blood is filled with strong vitality. The strength of his physical body is equivalent to a Foundation Realm creature. 

He looked at Snowball who was unconscious on the ground and said while shaking him, "Hey Snowball wake up! I found a way to pass the test."

But Snowball showed no response, making him anxious. He asked the system, ``Is he okay, System?"

"Host doesn't worry he is just unconscious, he will wake up in some time." 

Robert felt relieved after hearing the system. He believes in the system. Since the system said he is fine then he should be fine.

Gulu!

"I am hungry!" Robert heard a noise from his stomach and exclaimed. He doesn't have equipment for cooking but it's good that he still brought something to eat. 

So he took out some normal fruits and smoked meat from his leather bag. 

It's good that he has prepared something for this trip. Although this cannot fill his stomach it's better than nothing.

After eating half of the food prepared Robert stopped. He still wants to eat more but he stopped and left the remaining food for Snowball.

He looked at and saw Snowball still unconscious. No matter how he calls him he does not move. But Robert felt relieved because he heard a snorting sound. Looks like this guy is just in deep sleep.

Since he is still sleeping, let's take the test. Robert thought to himself. 

He stood up and walked toward the testing ground. After stepping on the ground filled Glyphs he noticed that his cultivation is sealed like before. 

Not only that unimaginable pressure descended on his back. But this time he did not feel any problems. He did not sweat or felt pain.

It's because 'Primogenial Body Art' has reached the second layer and his body is strengthened. This level of gravity is almost nothing to him.

He needs to walk 300 meters to reach the other end. He started walking without any difficulty. 

10 meters, 20 meters, 30 meters…..

In a blink of an eye, Robert covered 100 meters without much difficulty. Just as he took another step his complexion changed.

Because he notices that pressure on his body increased. If previously it was three times gravity then now it's definitely five times gravity. 

Although the difficulty is increased Robert can still walk.

120 meters, 140 meters, 160 meters, 180 meters…

Robert walked 200 meters with ease. But when he took another step pressure increased. 

This time he cannot walk as fast as before. He walked slowly with much difficulty and his body was bearing unimaginable pressure.

210 meters, 220 meters, 230 meters…

His forehead was filled with sweat but he did not stop as he stepped forward with the same momentum. 

But when he reached the 280-meter mark his pace began to slow. Here the pressure increased once again.

Every step is laborious and he took some time to reach the 300-meter mark.

Finally, he exceeded the 300-meter mark and crossed the testing ground and successfully reached the other side.

Did I pass the test? Robert thought to himself as he looked at two big and small doors. If these doors show no response then all the effort will be vain.

It's a lie to say that he is not nervous. If this door does not show any reaction then he would pack up and leave although there will be some disappointment.

Rumble!

But looks like he will not be disappointed as Glyphs on the big and small door started to light up one after another. 

And both the doors opened slowly creating a lot of noise. Robert looked at the small door with anticipation. 

What is the reward? Is this a treasure chamber? Robert thought excitedly.

After a minute the small door finally opened and strong spiritual energy gushed from the room making Robert feel refreshed. 

He took a deep breath and his spirit felt refreshed because all the exhaustion from the test disappeared. 

After the fog disappeared the interior of the room came into his view. But when he saw the interior of the place his face became pale as he shouted in a horrified voice, "Fuck! A living person?"
