However, it didn't take long for Gu Sheng to gradually feel something was wrong.
Although his divine power is constantly impacting the bottleneck of the Other Shore Realm world, that bottleneck is like a solid barrier that can never be broken through.
He tried again and again, but failed every time.
"What's going on? What's wrong?"
Gu Sheng felt anxious and realized that he might be trapped in an endless loop.
Although his magical power is constantly increasing, it seems that it is not enough for the bottleneck of the Other Shore Realm world.
He needs more energy, or a more sophisticated cultivation method, in order to achieve a breakthrough.
"Huh..."
Gu Sheng took a deep breath, knowing that he couldn't keep trying here endlessly.
He decided to calm down first, re-examine his cultivation methods, and look for opportunities for breakthrough.
In this way, Gu Sheng slowly withdrew his divine power and returned to a calm state of mind.
Gu Sheng closed his eyes and began to review his cultivation process.
He wanted to use this method of recall to find some problems.
"From the Other Shore Realm to the Dao Palace Realm, why is it so difficult?"
Gu Sheng said silently in his heart.
At the same time, he began to try to understand the mystery of the Dao Palace Realm from different angles.
He knows that Dao Palace Realm is the refining of "god", and it is also an application of Tao.
He needs to combine his divine power with the laws of Tao to truly achieve a breakthrough.
Gu Sheng began to try different cultivation methods.
He combined his divine power with the surrounding natural energy, trying to find a frequency that matched Dao Palace Realm.
At this moment, he seemed to have turned into a vortex of energy, constantly absorbing and releasing the surrounding natural energy.
Especially the one hundred kilogram Refined Ore Source, which can be said to be the source of strength.
However, despite all the efforts of Gu Sheng, he still could not break through to the Dao Palace Realm.
Countless attempts made Gu Sheng feel unprecedented frustration.
The road to cultivation is never smooth sailing, and every failure is the only way to success.
But if the method is wrong, the difference will be huge.
"It seems we can't go all the way to the dark side."
Gu Sheng decided to give up the forced breakthrough for the time being and planned to look for other cultivation resources.
"Huh?"
At this time, Gu Sheng suddenly noticed that the color of the one hundred kilogram Refined Ore Source was actually much darker.
"How could this happen?"
Gu Sheng squatted down, looked at Refined Ore Source, and felt its energy at the same time.
"Puff puff puff!"
Suddenly, the power of resistance actually returned from Refined Ore Source.
"What's going on?"
Gu Sheng was a little puzzled, and at the same time, he slightly activated his divine power, trying to find out the energy in it.
But when Gu Sheng's divine power penetrated Refined Ore Source, he found that his own divine power was blocked.
So, there is only one way to say it.
That is the power in Refined Ore Source, which is above your own realm.
In other words, Gu Sheng is not qualified to absorb the remaining power in Refined Ore Source.
"It seems that the power in this Refined Ore Source can only be absorbed by the Dao Palace Realm. We cannot let others discover the Refined Ore Source here. Otherwise, it would be a pity to give such a good thing away for nothing."
Gu Sheng stood there secretly thinking about what to do.
At this moment, Gu Sheng's consciousness suddenly caught an unusual aura.
"Fifth Master, what should we do? That's the life of half the village."
"Yeah, you treat us too badly!"
"If you want me to see it, I might as well fight him!"
The voices of several men were heard in the distance.
"Fight? What to fight for? The lives of the villagers?"
An old voice came.
Gu Sheng used his supernatural power to listen to the sounds coming from the distance, and seemed to be able to realize that these people seemed to be in some kind of trouble.
But he was in the cave now, and he didn't know them, so there was no need to go out.
Besides, it's not a good thing to be involved in other people's cause and effect.
Thinking of this, Gu Sheng leaned against a stone in the cave and rested comfortably.
At this moment, a roar came.
Then, Gu Sheng sensed with his spiritual consciousness that the mountain people seemed to be attacked by wild beasts.
Listening to the wailing, Gu Sheng could no longer remain calm.
At this time, his mind was filled with those mountain brothers in the mine.
"No, I can't ignore it!"
Thinking of this, Gu Sheng rushed out of the cave.
He suddenly discovered that those who attacked the mountain people were actually some Stone Beast that he had never seen before.
These Stone Beast are built like tigers and are very fast.
The mountain people were unable to resist at all and could only flee in all directions to save their lives.
"Uh-huh!"
Gu Sheng looked down upon him, summoned his divine power, and rushed forward with his Fire Spirit Dagger.
"Chichichi!"
The flaming dagger passed through a Dao Fire light, directly hitting those Stone Beast vital points.
"Ouch!"
A Stone Beast howled in pain and fell to the ground.
When his colleague lost his vital signs, Shitou's body instantly collapsed and turned into a pile of rubble.
Gu Sheng didn't pause at all, and his figure shuttled among the Stone Beast group...
Fire Spirit Dagger flies up and down, one at a time.
In less than a cup of tea, half of the group of Stone Beast had been killed.
When the remaining Stone Beast saw this, they seemed to be aware of their fear and ran away in a hurry.
The leader Fifth Master Zhang and several other mountain people looked at Gu Sheng in shock, their eyes full of awe.
They thought Gu Sheng was a god descended to earth, and they all knelt down to Gu Sheng.
"My benefactor, you saved the lives of our entire village!"
Fifth Master Zhang's voice was trembling.
"It doesn't have to be like this, I just did what I was supposed to do."
Gu Sheng waved his hand.
Then he stepped forward and helped the remaining ten mountain people up.
"My benefactor, you must be the immortal sent by God to save us."
The leader, Fifth Master Zhang, burst into tears and seemed to have an emotional breakdown at this moment.
Gu Sheng is a little speechless.
He didn't expect that his simple help would make them so grateful.
"I'm really not a god, just a tourist passing by."
Gu Sheng said with a speechless smile.
At this time, a young mountain man came to Fifth Master Zhang and said, "Fifth Master, we have to step up mining. If it is later, it will be too late."
"Yeah."
Fifth Master Zhang wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and nodded gently. "I know."
After saying that, Fifth Master Zhang forced out a smile, "Let my benefactor laugh."
Then, he turned his head and said to the remaining companions, "You guys are responsible for transporting their bodies back. The others, follow me and continue to look for ore."
Gu Sheng immediately became interested when he heard the word "prospecting".
"Zhang... Fifth Master, what do you mean by prospecting?"
When Fifth Master Zhang heard Gu Sheng call him that, he quickly refused, "My lord, please don't call me Fifth Master, I can't bear it."
"Um... then don't call me ungrateful, just call me Little Sheng."
Gu Sheng smiled and said.
"Haha..."
Fifth Master Zhang laughed heartily, "Okay, then you can call me Lao Zhang. This will make us appear closer."
As soon as this statement came out, the relationship between the two parties seemed to be much more subtle.
"Little Sheng, how come you are here?"
Fifth Master Zhang asked casually.
"I came here just to survive and avoid being chased."
Gu Sheng shook his head helplessly and said.
"Oh?"
Fifth Master Zhang's face suddenly became serious. "I didn't expect you to be similar to us..."
"What? Someone is also going to hunt you down?"
Gu Sheng asked in surprise.
"That's right, that Big Beard Chen threatened to massacre the village!"
At this time, a young man standing behind Fifth Master Zhang said.
"What! There is such a thing!"
Gu Sheng looked shocked.
"Yeah, that big beard wants Master Wu to find the mine. If we don't find it, we will massacre the village!"
The young man continued.
"Ore veins are not easy to find. He is obviously bullying people!"
Gu Sheng said with sympathy.
Hearing this, Fifth Master Zhang patted Gu Sheng on the shoulder, with a look of pride and helplessness on his face.
"Little Sheng, you may not know that we people have made a living by prospecting for generations. Our family was once the most famous prospector on this continent. We can rely on special methods to find those Source Ore that contain rich energy."
Gu Sheng listened with rapt attention, his eyes shining with curiosity.
"Source Ore? You actually have this ability?"
"Yes, those raw ores contain different types of power. They are valuable resources for cultivators to improve their strength. However, since Shaking Light Holy Lord issued an order prohibiting private mining Source Ore, life for us ore prospectors has been difficult."
Fifth Master Zhang nodded and sighed heavily.
Gu Sheng frowned, and he could feel the helplessness in Fifth Master Zhang's words. "Then now..."
Fifth Master Zhang looked up at the mountain and continued, "Now, in order to deal with that Big Beard Chen, we can only secretly look for Source Ore to make a living. However, this is very risky, just like today, we encountered those Stone Beast."
Gu Sheng thought of the scene just now, and the strength of those Stone Beast also made him feel lingering fear.
"What are those Stone Beasts?"
Gu Sheng asked.
"Those Stone Beast are the product of the gathering of Source Ore essence. They guard Source Ore. The more places there are Stone Beast, the more Source Ore there are. Therefore, every time we look for Source Ore, we have to risk our lives."
Fifth Master Zhang explained.
Gu Sheng nodded and began to understand Fifth Master Zhang's situation.
"Then do you still want to continue looking for the raw ore?"
Gu Sheng asked.
"Look for it!"
Fifth Master Zhang said firmly.
Seeing that Fifth Master Zhang and the others were also trying to protect the village, Gu Sheng was secretly thinking about whether to tell them about Refined Ore Source in the cave.
At this time, Gu Sheng suddenly saw blood stains on the ground.
I don't know whose son or husband the mountain man who died just now was.
It's better that this kind of bloodshed doesn't happen again.
Thinking of this, Gu Sheng said directly, "Old Zhang, I will take you to a place where there may be what you want."
"Oh?"
Fifth Master Zhang's eyes shone, "Where?"
"Not far ahead."
Gu Sheng pointed at the location of the cave in front and said.
"Okay!"
Then, Fifth Master Zhang and five or six others followed Gu Sheng and walked towards the cave ahead.
The entrance to the cave is hidden in a dense bush. If it were not for Gu Sheng's guidance, it would be difficult for Fifth Master Zhang to discover this hidden hiding place.
As the group cautiously stepped into the cave, a cold breath hit their faces.
It was dark inside the cave, and Fifth Master Zhang the torches they carried with them were dancing with faint light in the darkness.
They walked along the passage of the cave, their footsteps echoing in the empty cave.
Gu Sheng walked at the front, leading the way for them.
"Little Sheng, are you sure there is really what we need here?"
Fifth Master Zhang, who was walking next to Gu Sheng, couldn't help but ask.
"Don't worry, Lao Zhang."
Gu Sheng turned around and comforted, "I have been here before, and there is indeed what you want here."
"Here..."
Fifth Master Zhang's voice was filled with uncertainty, because he never thought he would find Source Ore in such a place.
Gu Sheng didn't answer and just kept going.
Soon, they came to the spacious part of the cave, where Gu Sheng had rested before.
There, a huge piece of ore lay quietly.
It emits a faint glow that makes it stand out even in the dim cave.
"Oh my god..."
Fifth Master Zhang and the mountain people couldn't help but marvel.
Their eyes were attracted by this huge Refined Ore Source.
Gu Sheng turned around with a confident smile on his face, "Old Zhang, this is what I said you may need."
Fifth Master Zhang stepped forward and gently touched the surface of the ore with his hand.
He could feel the powerful energy contained in the ore.
"This... this ore is indeed extraordinary."
Fifth Master Zhang's voice was trembling.
"Such a big Refined Ore Source, am I not dreaming?"
"Yes, I have lived for more than twenty years, and I have never seen such a big one!"
Several mountain people also came forward, their eyes full of surprise.
Gu Sheng nodded. "Yes, this piece of Refined Ore Source weighs at least a hundred pounds. If I hand it over to the Big Beard Chen you mentioned, he should let your compatriots go."
When the mountain people heard this, they nodded, their eyes full of hope.
Their lives are difficult, and if they can exchange this ore for peace, that is undoubtedly the best choice.
However, Fifth Master Zhang shook his head.
He frowned tightly and said, "No, this Refined Ore Source is extraordinary. It may be the foundation of the entire mountain. If it is taken out, the entire mountain may lose its spiritual veins and suffer natural backlash."
"Um..."
Gu Sheng was stunned immediately.
He never thought about such consequences, let alone the so-called "backlash".
Maybe, this is the admiration for nature in the hearts of mountain people.
Gu Sheng looked at Fifth Master Zhang and asked curiously, "Backlash? Is there such a thing?"
Fifth Master Zhang nodded and said, "The formation of Source Ore takes tens of thousands or tens of millions of years. They are connected to the spiritual veins of the mountain. This ore is so huge, and its existence is crucial to the stability of the mountain. If it is taken out rashly, the backlash will be unimaginable."
When the mountain people heard Fifth Master Zhang's words, the light of hope on their faces gradually dimmed.
They knew that what Fifth Master Zhang said made sense. After all, in their hearts, Master Wu was a god-like existence in the mines.
