Chapter 2121 Using Everything

The closer an Intent was attuned to an aura, the better it was at affecting that, both positively or negatively. And there was no closer attuning than learning the Dao of that aura's origin.

Having learned the Dao of Gravity, Alex was certain he was as ready as he could ever be to cross all of the stairs. He had the best Intent to fight off this imaginary weight he felt on himself.

As soon as Alex applied the Dao of Gravity on himself, to make himself lighter, all of the weight lifted at once. He didn't even have to use that much of his Intent anymore as the Dao itself was doing half the job.

Without any further delay, he began climbing the stairs.

His feet were swift, climbing the steps one after another at a rapid rate, sometimes even skipping a few. He crossed 14500 steps and then reached 15000 steps.

The weight around here was supposed to be just around 15 thousand tons. And yet, Alex barely felt anything at all. He didn't even feel that impacted mentally by the usage of his Intent.

He could continue moving ahead with no worries.

Alex felt the first hint of heaviness around 16000 steps when the weight on him increased to 20 thousand.

'That's weird...' Alex thought. Something was wrong here. With his understanding of the Dao, he should have easily crossed this much without feeling any weight on himself at all.

Why was he feeling more weight this soon? Was his Intent not enough?

He continued his journey, going further higher. Halfway between the 16000 and 17000 steps, Alex's fake weight increased by a few thousand more tons. And while his Intent surrounding the Dao itself was still working excellently, it wasn't enough for some reason.

'There's another aura here,' he thought, very much surprised with his own discovery.

Gravity was not the only thing affecting him. There was something else within this aura that he hadn't completely managed to learn.

Alex continued climbing but his steps had slowed down. He wasn't sure how long it had been since he continued climbing. The hourglass should have run out of sand by now. He was thankful the stairway hadn't closed just yet.

The weight continued adding on and on. Very soon, even with everything he could use, he couldn't continue.

Alex finally paid attention to where he was and looked ahead of him. There were less than 200 more steps to go. 200 more steps and somehow the peak felt an eternity away.

Alex could see the many gathered individuals at the top of the sect, each watching his climb intently. Not a single person had moved since the beginning.

'I have to do this,' he thought.

He took his next step.

'I have to go further.'

He took another step.

'I can't stop.'

Another step.

'Not now.'

As he took another step, Alex truly gave it his all. He had done all that he could by himself, so now it was time for his body to help him.

The Sun God's Celestial Yang Body acted immediately, sending out a warm feeling throughout his body. He felt a wave of energy take over him at that very moment, as though a warm bath after a long day of hard work.

After finally deciding to use his body at long last, Alex could now see the peak much closer than it was before.
