Chapter 920 The Unusual Heavy Gas (Part One)


    What was going on?


    It was the first time in forever that Austin had to face such a peculiar and bothersome situation.


    The air here was too thick and heavy as if it was made of something more than what it should be, so it


    was really hard to breathe. It applied too much pressure to the body that weighed heavy on the hands,


    the feet, and even the eyelids. Austin felt like he was trekking with a boulder dangling on his back.


    Those warriors whose bodies were not built strong enough would soon be crushed and would surely


    kiss their tragic death if they would have dared to set foot in this ce. The pressure was tremendous


    just like at the bottom of the deep sea.

    However, if any of the warriors wished to explore deeper into the ancient pce they eyed to conquer,


    this was the only way they could pass through. In other words, everyone must stand the pressure and


    bear the weight of this challenging endeavor.


    Naturally, a lot of well-trained warriors were capable to withstand such pressure as they had already


    surpassed even harder obstacles than this. In the spur of a moment, at least several thousands of


    pace as if doubtful and kind of afraid of what was yet toe.


    Nobody felt ashamed of their slow pace since those who were able to move on a faster rate were at


    least at the Master Realm cultivation base. Moreover, some slightly fasterpetitors were experts at


    the Astral Realm so their safety weren''t much of a problem.


    On the other hand, inferior cultivators who were ranked below the Imperial Realm cultivation base were


    busy arguing over things they believed were most important -- less impressive sacred weapons, elixir,


    and ancient books.


    As for the true experts ranking above the Master Realm cultivation base, those weapons, elixir, and


    books scattered on the peripheral area weren''t even worth anything at all. So they chose to look ahead


    and focus on what was most important as they didn''t want to waste any time there. They had set their


    eyes on the deeper area, on those high-end treasures they were yet toy their hands on. Only a


    unique treasure and an extraordinary one could have made a good match.


    Austin felt the same excitement on what awaited ahead as the other true masters.


    When he recently entered this area, Austin couldn''t hide his amazement as his eyes glimmered in


    delight. But Austin started to be cautious so he observed the ce. After some time, he eventually


    figured things out on his own.


    "I''ve never seen such a thing in my life!" Austin marveled at his discovery, filled with childlike wonder.


    "What is this ce? The air is strangely different. The pressure is as high as the water pressure


    underneath the sea. But I''m sure, it''s not only the air pressure. There is something in this ce that


    makes me feel a heavy push. How strange! Such a unique ce!"


    Austin kept murmuring to himself, full of ideas and questions, as he trod on. The novel sensation


    cancelled the pain he felt when the pressure cracked his skin.


    Though his skin was chapped, the wounds didn''t bleed as the pressure was also holding the blood that


    was bound to gush in the natural setting. Austin suddenly focused at his chapped hands and arms, in


    wonder as to when these cuts had appeared.


    "Oh boy! Look at those cracks! Have you seen anything like that before?" A middle-aged man started


    to bombard him with questions when he realized Austin was lost in thought.


    "Don''t be appalled. You will heal as soon as you leave this ce. Let me tell you something, this ce


    is filled with a rare gas called the Heavy Gas. Are you aware of it?


    Oh my! Seems that you are not! Let me educate you about this matter. Heavy Gas, as the term


    suggest, has its thick and heavy properties. Wait, I am not talking rubbish! There is more! There is


    something else little-known about the Heavy Gas. It can explode! If a warrior breathes in too much of it,


    boom, there he goes! Hah-hah-hah! Are you scared?" the manughed hysterically.


    The man jumped out from nowhere and took Austin by surprise. A moment ago, he was nowhere to be


    seen but in an instant the man appeared and made his unsolicited speech, as if he was a person of


    interest others were looking forward to hear. It seemed that he overheard it when Austin was talking to


    himself about his chapped skin so he decided it was time to show off and be an all-knowing jerk.


    Austin examined him as carefully as he could. He was sure that this man was a warrior at the premium


    stage of Master Realm. Though he talked arrogantly and behaved insolently, Austin could tell from


    expression in his eyes that this man was by no means a viin.


    He was the type of person who liked to blow their own trumpet and show their glibness in speech or


    wit. In a word, this was a man who was eager to show off his intelligence, or should we say, cleverness.


    ''Oh he could talk as he wished given his stature.'' Austin talked to himself and tried his best to


    understand the man''s disrespectful behavior.


    "I want to know more about it.


    What do you say the name is again? Heavy Gas?" asked Austin, pretending he didn''t really catch the


    name that would hopefully transition their conversation to focus on the gas instead of the man.


    Austin had never heard of this unusual explosive Heavy Gas before.


    "Oh the boy is teachable! Do you want to know more about Heavy Gas? Good, ignorant young man,


    listen with both of your ears.


    Heavy Gas is, as the term suggests, thick and heavy. Every cubic volume of Heavy Gas weighs as


    much as one thousand pounds. Heavy Gas is definitely rare because people believe that nature has


    already ceased in creating it.


    So, many powerful sects and ns would pay a high price even for the smallest quantity. Rumor has it


    that some sects even build their own Heavy Gas training room. Think about it, a room full of Heavy


    Gas! How extravagant!


    But a Heavy Gas training room can do them a lot of good. The room could help them master handling


    it! Think about it.


    Manipting the Heavy Gas is hard but if you keep practicing in such a chamber and get used to the


    pressure eventually, your body will be a thousand times stronger than those who practiced under


    normal air pressure. I can''t imagine how powerful this kind of warriors would be if they do battle in


    normal space. Holy-molly, you know what I mean?"


    The man was like a chatterbox of disorganized information. He never ran out of words while he and


    Austin were slowly moving forward step by step.


    "Ah, tell me more about it.


    You have such encyclopedic knowledge and an extraordinary skill of retention. I am impressed and so


    excited to know more." Austin interacted with the man every now and then to have kept his interest at


    its peak.


    Though Austin had to put up with the man''s verbosity, the information the man provided was not totally


    useless. In fact it was more than what he was willing to learn. As for what Heavy Gas was, Austin


    believed he had learned enough to actually search for it all by himself.


    During the conversation, Austin found the man to be enthusiastic and genial rather than abrupt and


    evasive. In fact, he enjoyed listening to the man''s tender expressions as it augmented the truth he was


    sharing.


    "Oh you are such a delightful youngd! You do have an eye of an artist and you can find the value of


    my precious words, don''t you? Follow my instructions and you will find yourself avoiding all the


    <pmon mistakes others weren''t able to survive.
