However, Henry was around 5 pillars away from it. He felt a tremendous amount of power bored down on his body.
Then he let out scream out in pain.
"AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"Henry screams out, he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
As Henry coughed blood on the floor he fell to the ground. Henry felt that something is pulling him downwards.
It was like someone is pulling him down however he knew why was he feeling this way.
"The gravity has increased tremendously. That means that's the cultivation technique"Henry thought to himself with a serious expression on his face.
Then he tried to get up by exerting all of his strength on his fists.
He successfully got up and then walked towards the place.
As he crossed the pillars the gravity around him increased by at least two times.
This process kept repeating as he crosses the pillars. He clenched his teeth and continued to walk towards the book.
Each time he crossed the pillars he coughed up a mouthful of blood. The sound of his bones breaking could also be heard from far away.
A few minutes later Henry was a single step away from the last pillar.
Then he took a deep breath and took the last step ahead.
When he took the last step ahead, he felt a tremendous amount of force bearing down on his body.
It was like a thousand Basic Qi core formation realm cultivators are pulling him to the ground.
The sound of his spine breaking and the sound of his skeleton collapsing can also be heard throughout the entire place.
Right when he felt such pressure he would let out a high-pitched scream.
"Ahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!"Henry screamed as he fell to the ground.
He continued to let out screams of agony. He was about to lose consciousness however a golden light filled the entire place.
However, a moment later he saw that the book is just an inch away from him.
Seeing this he became determined to touch it because he has a feeling that if he touches it then he will pass this trial.
He put all of his strength into his fist.
He still kept trying but it won't work.
However, the pull of gravity was much greater than his strength since he won't be able to get up.
Henry kept trying for a few minutes but he failed to get up. His hands had turned red.
Then a few moments later his hand started to bleed. The sound of the bones in his hand breaking could also be heard.
"I can't give up when I am this close to reaching the cultivation technique."Henry thought to himself while rage filled every part of his body.
He is feeling angry because he can't even pass the trial to earn himself a cultivation technique.
Moreover, until he passes this trial he will be trapped here forever. That will be the same as dying in the real world.
He was feeling angry because he can't bring himself to die such a useless death. As Henry was thinking about this he decided to make a gamble.
"I think if I can take all the earth's spiritual energy in this place. I think it will be enough to touch the book at least"Henry thought to himself with a serious look on his face.
Then he got a notification he read it but he will ignore it.
(Note:If you take any more earth spiritual energy then you can seriously damage your cultivation. In the worst case your body can explode which will result in your death)
As Henry read this his face won't change a bit since he knew what he needed to do. Henry closed the notification completely ignoring it.
"If I get this cultivation technique even if my cultivation is damaged I can easily recover from it using the power of this cultivation technique.
If I die due to such a cost then I am just not worthy of living" Henry exclaimed.
His eyes were burning with determination. He took a long breath.
"Let's do this"Henry screamed as loudly as he could.
He began to feel the earth's spiritual energy surrounding him.
He started to absorb the earth's spiritual energy from the ground. He tried to draw all of them but he knows it's impossible.
So he just drew until he felt strong enough to move and touch the book.
He continued to take earth's spiritual energy for the next 6 minutes but he didn't feel any increase in strength.
However, another minute later, he felt the fibers of his muscles and bones burning up.
He knew it was a side effect he ignored it and continued to draw in more Earth spiritual energy.
He drew them at an incredibly fast speed. He absorbed them so quickly that a twister of earth's spiritual energy formed around him.
He kept absorbing the Earth's spiritual energy. A moment later he started to feel a lot stronger than before.
However it was at a cost, his fibers were burning so much that it was like they were caught on fire.
His heartbeat also increased greatly but he ignored it and continued to walk towards the book.
A message that disappointed him flashed in front of his retina.
(Your cultivation has been damaged due to the presence of too much earth spiritual energy in your body.
Your cultivation realm has dropped from the late-stage Basic Qi core formation realm to the mid-stage Basic Qi core formation realm.
The same has happened to your physical body cultivation because you didn't have a cultivation technique to use earth's spiritual energy)
Henry just sighed. Then he continued to walk towards the book. He stopped absorbing the earth's spiritual energy since he knew that his body might explode if he takes more.
Moreover, he doesn't need it since he can now move. Then a moment later Henry came super close to the book.
He was about 1 to 2 cm away from touching the booking.
"I am almost there, "Henry thought to himself with a smile on his face.
A moment later he touched the book.
When he touched the book a golden aura enveloped his entire body.
His injuries started to heal in the blink of an eye. His cultivation became stable again
The aura started to fade away. Now a blue aura flow through Henry's hand. This blue aura then rushed toward Henry's brain.
When it rushed toward his brain, he received tons of information. Then his knowledge of cultivation increased greatly.
As more aura flowed through his body he felt dizzy since he can't hold so much information.
Then Henry got dozens of notifications but he read only one.
(The three heavenly paths and immortality are being transferred to your brain.
However, most of the knowledge of breakthroughs is being sealed since you won't be able to hold so much information.
The information about the next realm will be unsealed when you break through.
If you are at the Basic Qi gathering realm then you will know how to break through to the Qi refinement realm.
However, you will have to comprehend the technique to break through, or else you will fail.
Essential you will only know how to break through the current realm until you become strong enough to know the entire cultivation
The rest of the info will be slowly unlocked as you breakthrough)
When Henry saw these dozen notifications he nodded his head slightly and he thought that it makes sense.
Then he let more aura flow into his brain.
He felt slightly dizzy because it wasn't enough to affect him so he ignored it. Since it wasn't able to affect him in the slightest.
The aura kept flowing into his brain for the next few hours. A few hours later the aura stopped flowing into his brain.
The aura stopped and the book started to emit golden light that illuminated the entire place.
The entire place started to shake uncontrollably and then a notification appeared on his retina.
(Congratulations the three heavenly paths and immortality have been successfully transferred to your brain.
Now you will be teleported back to the real world).
Henry just nodded his head and will close his eyes to rest.
However, as he closed his eyes he heard a terrifying yet powerful voice that jolted him awake.
