Lin Mu recalled the time when he had completed cultivating the Mortal Strengthening Scripture and finished the First Treasured Organ. He had felt a crushing pressure on his body that had almost flattened him.
‘I’m sure of it, it must be similar to that.’ Lin Mu thought.
“What Elemental Tribulation do you want to pick? If it is Water, we have good places for that.” Lanbao suggested.
“No,” Lin Mu shook his head. “I want to take the Earth Elemental Immortal Tribulation. It is my innate element and I have 100% confidence of getting through it.” He stated.
“I see… Do you need anything particular for that.” Lanbao asked again.
“Nope, nothing.” Lin Mu said before standing up.
~shua~
In the next second, he disappeared and appeared about a kilometer away.
“I’ll just start right away.” Lin Mu felt a drive.
He recalled the yearning he felt for strength and wanted more. The faster he grew stronger the better he’ll reap.
Not to mention, the burning desire was still at the bottom of his heart, waiting to rise up once more. Though Lin Mu didn’t know just how strong it would be next time.
All he knew was that he better be strong enough to fulfill that desire or surpass it completely.
Elder Niji and Lanbao watched Lin Mu appeared in the distance and were surprise.
“He isn’t gonna… just go and take it right away, is he?” Lanbao said in disbelief.
“Seems like it… he is definitely confident for sure.” Elder Niji chuckled.

As soon as he said that, the two of them felt like the very air around them had turned denser.
“It’s starting…” Lanbao muttered and looked towards Lin Mu.
The young man stood calmly in the center of open land. It was away from the Deep Sapphire City and would not affect others allowing him to be as free as possible.
“Show me… Show me if I’m correct.” Lin Mu said to the air.
~HUM~
In response to him, the very heavens replied.
~CRACK~
Lin Mu’s body directly sank an inch into the ground as cracks spread from where he stood. The fine corals that formed the patterns on the ground were flattened, making them look like flat tiles.
“This is nothing, I’ve borne worse.” Lin Mu was actually fine with all it.
‘Aspect of heaviness can do even greater pressure than this.’ Lin Mu recalled when he had almost crushed his own organs with this.
~CRACK~CRACK~CRACK~
But it seemed like this was just the start as the pressure on him directly doubled.
“There we go, now that’s something better.” Lin Mu said as he felt the energy within his body stirring in response.
The vitality roiled and rolled in his tissues, allowing them to withstand the pressure. Spirit qi also rushed across his meridian providing them an extra force of balance.
“This isn’t all is it?” Lin Mu wondered as he slowly lifted his hands feeling the pressure normalizing for him.
~STEP~
Lin Mu tried to take a step forward making an inch deep hole on the ground.
~STEP~
~CRACK~
But when he lifted his other foot, it cracked the ground more and made him sink four inches deeper.
“This actually feels good…” Lin Mu felt like the qi within his body was getting consolidate.
“You can take this chance to adapt to greater gravity. It will be equal for your entire body, and will allow you to use the Aspect of heaviness better.” Xukong advised seeing the perfect opportunity.
“Ah yes! This is perfect for it.” Lin Mu couldn’t wait now.
He spread his feet apart and stood in a horse stance. Brining his fists to his waist, he held them in position befog taking breath.
~HUUUU~
A jet of air rushed into Lin Mu’s reinforced lungs, sounding like a short gust.
With his stance ready, Lin Mu raised his fist and punched out.
~BOOM~
The air in front of his knuckles was pressed creating a fist imprint that tore through the air.
~WHOOSH~
The imprint rushed forth for about ten meters before dissipating.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm‘Good… if I can do it with this load, I can do better without it later.’ Lin Mu thought to himself.
~BOOM~
~BOOM~
~BOOM~
Having understood that, Lin Mu executed an old training regimen he had used in the past. It was very basic and he had even taught it to the Haima Tribe before.
Bit by bit, his fist imprints started to get clearer and clearer eventually extending further.
~RUMBLE~
But after a minute, the pressure on him increased once more. This time his True Gold Body Forgoing Arts activated and his golden body shone like a bright lantern.
“A little difficult, but nothing I can’t get used to.” Lin Mu kept a smile on his face and kept on punching out.
~BOOM~
~BOOM~
~BOOM~
Even if the pressure increased on him every few minutes, Lin Mu didn’t care and continued training.
If anyone else were to watch him right now, they would not think that he was undergoing an Immortal Tribulation. They would think that he was standing in a Training Ground and practicing by himself.
What he didn’t know was that major changes were happening due to his Tribulation.
The skies above the ocean shook, as the Rust colored particles moved. From the bottom, they looked like mere specks of dust, but if one went up they would realize that they were not.
Winds were shorn as the Rust colored meteorites parted from their home in the sky and answered the orders of heavens. The gravity on them multiple several times and they started their descent.
A cone of air formed around all of them which soon turned into a plume of fire that covered them. The Rust Colored Meteorites started burning up, and their size reduced little by little.
The distance they needed to travel was rather large and even if they were just free falling, it would still take them several minutes to reach Lin Mu.
