The Hourglass 46 Unbreakable Walls 1

It means his counting was correct and he was awesome since according to rumours that Aria told him the highest that anyone ever reaches was only at 20000th stairs the senior entered at Solid stage and have an similar ability to mine that was to adapt.

Although his ability is more focused toward the adapting function as his healing speed is slower and need for food is there so he can only last a month there, oh yeah… Michael remembered that he himself is not even three weeks inside it so the difference must be because of the healing speed and no matter how rotten his luck is he at least will find a golden pill which means some people already know they exist but didn't announce it.

Also according to rumours that Aria heard that guy could withstand grenade face to face, get shot by a tank and just walked out from it naked, showered by gunfire and remain unscathed, running faster than cars,could swim in radioactive substance without dying or getting sick but well the last one probably more of his ability to adapt, imagine me the one who have adapted to 25000th stairs should be stronger than him right .

Michael decided to just use the one he got just now and at once he swallowed 5 pills at once and immediately 24 whirlpools of qi shows up on the 24 nodes, the size of the whirlpools is bigger than the one that he ever seen, well this is the result of two factor, the first was the 5 pills that Michael took at once and secondly was the fact that all of Michael's cultivation nodes have all reaches the Early Solid Stages.

Michael sat down and felt that the all of the qi that inside the pill and the qi it attracted will made him breakthrough to the Attribute qi stages but his spiritual qi is not at that stages yet, he have to nourish it with his qi.

Michael waited while observing the changes in his qi nodes, he waited but he gotten bored so he counted to count the time since he couldn't accurately count seconds and minutes with his biological clock but if it were days he was pretty confident about it, since he felt only three days have passed and he have another two days to breakthrough.

After counting to 1800 finally the qi whirlpools condensed into a back heart that seem to be inflated to much. Weirdly no matter how much he tried to breakthrough after that he can't do it and the inflated Heart Qi even deflating with the qi heading toward his head where his spiritual qi is located and nourishing it.

Hurriedly thinking it was the matter of not having enough qi, Michael took another 5 pills and sat down once again but in another 30 minutes the Heart qi became even more inflated but there is no sign of he breakthrough, but according to the book 'Hidden Cultivation Stages' I just have to gather qi and I will automatically reach the attribute qi and the part where talent matter started from the Attribute QI Realm and The Qi Gathering Realm even the one with lowest talent can breakthrough it, yeah if it were right then how did I never heard if Aria or Melinda mentioning Attribute Qi expert and at most only said Solid Qi as if it was the peak of cultivation, Michael fell into deep thought.

Maybe there is a difference between the ancient world and the present word that make it as if there is an invisible wall that prevent someone from entering the Attribute Qi realm, even I felt it, when I tried to breakthrough the first time I didn't pay attention but at the second time I paid my full attention to it and I 'saw' a strand of my qi was turning purple and just others was about to turn too it seem there is something that prevent it and the strand turned back to the normal qi, Michael was still thinking hard about the problem.

Before he noticed it a day passed and he remain thinking about the question without answers and the Heart qi have inflated to a size bigger than the previous one and it's now looked so dark that light seem to be devoured there.

After a day of thinking hard Michael finally come to a decision and put the remaining 15 pills on the 70th golden pills bottles that he carried and tossed the empty bottle down the stairs while hearing the sound of the bottle falling stair by stairs he looked at the endless stairs he had climbed.

Feeling proud Michael tried to focus all of qi he can on his right index finger and a wobbly light surround it, after focusing the wobbly light grew and became shaped like a blade around it a really big white blade that make it as if Michaels's index finger have become a pure white great sword. Focusing once more Michael condensed the blade to a size of kitchen knife and it turned dark blue, still not satisfied Michael used the qi from his 24 qi nodes and channel it to the blade and it inflate once again to the size of great sword except it's dark blue.

Even after condensing it with all of his might Michael can only condense it to the same colour as his Heart Qi and it's colour was so dark that the light from the moss seem to be devoured by it and it's size is only claymore.

Seeing that he couldn't condense it anymore Michael faced the qi sword toward the stairs and tried to carve on it, the reason he tried to condense it before is when he is at Early Solid stage he can't even scratched the stairs.

Michael the thrusted his qi sword toward the stairs and he felt it the qi sword penetrated even if it's just a little , it did.

After an hour of hard work it's finally done looking at his mark Michael felt satisfied and transmitted his qi to the surrounding with the intention of 'I gave up' and Michael vanished form the place.

There left a series of word and picture on the spot where he was standing on "I, Michael Febrianto Li have reached 25000th stairs at Thursday, 16 may 2019 remember me as you may met me in the future" besides it was a drawing of an emoji smiling with glasses and a small hourglass on the right side of it's head.
