The Hourglass 42 Entering The Gravity Stairs 2

Michael looked at the moss that was covering the ceiling and walls around the stairs, the moss was glowing but the light was dim even after transforming into demi-eagle form he couldn't see the end of the stairs just like Aria said it was endless.

Michael then took a first step to the stairs and felt nothing, so he transformed into demi-cheetah form and run up the stairs as fast as he can while counting the number of stairs he pa.s.sed.

…12

…23

…35

…45

…60

…76

…84

…90

It was around the 90th stairs that he felt his organ and blood vessel was damaged while continually repaired but as it wasn't a complete destruction and his bone in transformed stage seem to could handle the strain so he continued racing upwards.

It wasn't until the several minutes later at the 500th stairs that he felt his bone was about to break and his organs was bursting like bubble in the bubble bath and his blood vessels burst like fireworks, to make him didn't die instantly he made his brain protected with his qi.

Michael switched form to the demi-eagle form which seem to have stronger muscle and bones but in real life the avian eagle should have a weaker bone than a ground animal like cheetah since it's bone have to be lighter to fly right?

The moment he switched form he felt his bone crushed for a second before he felt the gravity that was just crus.h.i.+ng him a moment ago felt like the gravity on the 90th stairs although damaging, it's nothing to be warned of but seriously an eagle, a flying bird have a stronger bone than a cheetah.

Slower Michael advanced step by step as this form didn't have much higher speed compared the cheetah form but he think if the wings on the back grows, it would be faster since it could fly but in here even if it could fly it's useless since it would just get slammed to the stairs.

As he couldn't rush, well he could but it wouldn't make a big changes if he run or just walked it up, along the way up he felt how the qi seem to flood inside his body and it seem even without cultivating someone's stage will rises by itself as quick when they cultivate hard in the real world, not to mention this is only the 505th stairs and his Heart Qi Technique is refining all this energy, he didn't know if it were the effect of the gravity or just the place but the qi here is so pure that he only need to absorb it just like when he ate the level up pill.

At the 510th stairs Michael sat at his humanoid eagle form there as he got an brilliant idea because the Heart Qi on his heart seem to couldn't refine all these qi at once anymore and there is some leftover qi in his body, well if he were a normal cultivator it would be good for his body but no he isn't so Michael tried to separate a small part of the Heart Qi in his heart, the small blue heart shook and if it were not for the newly gained qi he got from this place his cultivation could fall to the gas stage.

So Michael guided the small piece of blue heart to his throat, to the node in the diagram around his throat. When it arrived there he paused the Heart Qi pieces in the node but only after a dozen of minutes where even his original Heart qi has recovered from the damage it took from the separation, did the node react and the small Heart Qi pieces expand to a new whole Heart QI except this one was transparent and not blue.

The new Heart begin to beat and absorbed the leftover qi in his body. Elated Michal continued to split his Heart qi into the nodes and after a hour and a dozen minutes pa.s.sed another 6 new nodes have a transparent Heart Qi inside of them.

These six nodes was the four nodes on his spine; the spine on the back of his throat, the spine on the back of his heart, the spine on the back of his dantian, the end of spine, the dantian, the place that was around the navel, and the one around his p.e.n.i.s. That was the six nodes he had activated aside from his throat.

Satisfied and confident that even if he went to the 1000th stair his nodes could handle the influx of qi but he couldn't be sure if his body could handle it. As he was thinking about this problem still seated on the 510th steps he noticed the s.p.a.ce where his hourgla.s.s resided changed a little, in the fact he seem to saw a light flas.h.i.+ng in it when he activated his first node.

Michael went to looked more carefully and he saw a square shaped box with white colour and as he was just about to inspect it more carefully, he noticed that there is another box but it was transparent and he only noticed it when he came closer to look.

Still Michael 'touched' the white square with his consciousness and suddenly the flashes of him in his life from the fetus until he was 16 years old separated into many images.

Michael then had a felling that he had to choose one of the images and it will be what his appearance would looked like that forever no longer changing but could adapt and the adaptation will be permanent . Adapt! Michael suddenly thought of his problem, could this solve them.

Then Michael choose when the time around High school where he went gym crazy since he heard that girls liked muscular girl more. The moment he choose that his transformation was undone and he was changing while his weak human body was crushed with the 51 times the gravity of earth but thankfully he always protected his head with his qi.

In the midst of that destruction Michael's body that was shrinking these past months was growing and the muscle on his body that was receding was growing too. But still his body was still destroyed Michael endured the pain since he want to test the adaption he felt since Aria once said that most awakener know the function of their power by instinct.

Gradually after two hour the healing on Michael's body slowed down.
