Then, Gu Sheng sacrificed Fire Spirit Dagger.
After Gu Sheng summoned his divine power, Fire Spirit Dagger instantly transformed into a fire dragon and flew into the sky.
"Whoosh!"
Gu Sheng activated his spiritual consciousness and controlled Fire Spirit Dagger to fly to the center of the mountain top of Pingtou Mountain.
"Bang!"
Fire Spirit Dagger sank directly into the mountain.
Gu Sheng increases the power output of divine consciousness and leads to Profound Yellow Power to activate more powerful power.
"Boom!"
"Crack!"
After a rumbling sound, there was a sound of the mountain exploding.
Just like that, a bottomless crack appeared in front of Gu Sheng.
Gu Sheng stepped forward and took a look. The crack seemed to be an endless abyss.
It looked particularly mysterious in the darkness, giving people a chill.
Then, Gu Sheng chanted a spell to recall Fire Spirit Dagger from the crack.
"This... is nothing?"
Gu Sheng looked into the depths of the crack and said speechlessly.
"Chichichi!"
Suddenly, gusts of dark wind blew from the depths of the crack.
Gu Sheng thought there was something strange about the wind, so he quickly stepped aside.
But after the wind blew, there was nothing unusual and it made people feel peaceful.
Gu Sheng stuck his head out again and looked at the crack in the abyss.
"See what the reaction is."
Gu Sheng said to himself, then stirred up his divine power and released his divine consciousness.
As his spiritual consciousness penetrated, Gu Sheng discovered that deep in the crack, there was an unbreakable barrier.
According to common sense, this kind of stone mountain should be full of stones.
Even my own consciousness cannot break through, compared to what Fifth Master Zhang said, there is a heavy treasure hidden inside.
Or maybe, "Heavenly Book of Source-Seeking" is among them.
In order to clarify the situation, Gu Sheng activated his consciousness, thinking of breaking through this barrier.
But after trying several times, the barrier remained motionless.
In desperation, Gu Sheng had no choice but to take back his consciousness.
He looked up and saw that the halo above Pingtou Mountain still existed.
The brightness of the halo does not decrease, like a mysterious veil, covering the entire top of the mountain.
Gu Sheng observed carefully, trying to find some clues.
But apart from that halo, nothing unusual was found.
Gu Sheng couldn't help but wonder, is this halo just a natural phenomenon caused by the liquefaction of water vapor?
Gu Sheng frowned and decided not to blindly guess, but to explore the secret of Pingtou Mountain himself.
At this time, the sky was already slightly bright.
After a night of hard work, Gu Sheng was also tired.
Then, he flew back to Stone Village and returned to the room.
The moment the door closed, Fifth Master Zhang squatting aside shook his head gently.
"Young people are more curious about unknown things."
After saying that, Fifth Master Zhang also got up and returned to his room.
Gu Sheng was lying on the bed, feeling extremely tired.
But his heart was filled with curiosity about Pingtou Mountain.
He closed his eyes and tried to calm his thoughts, and soon he fell into a deep sleep.
A few hours later, strong sunlight streamed through the window onto his face.
Gu Sheng slowly opened his eyes and felt that his body was extremely heavy, as if there was a heavy burden pressing on him.
"So tired..."
Gu Sheng took a deep breath, then thought about sitting up.
But then he realized that even getting up had become a luxury.
He gritted his teeth and used all his strength to finally sit up.
Then, he staggered towards the door.
However, the moment he opened the door, his legs weakened and he slumped down at the door.
"What's going on?"
Gu Sheng was confused and didn't understand why he was so weak.
Could it be that someone drugged me while I was sleeping?
Gu Sheng tried hard to stand up, but his body was shaking uncontrollably.
At this moment, Fifth Master Zhang came to the yard and saw Gu Sheng slumped at the door.
"Little Sheng, what's wrong with you? You look very weak."
Fifth Master Zhang walked quickly to Gu Sheng, quickly helped him back to the bed, and asked with concern.
Gu Sheng lay weakly on the bed, and said with a trembling voice, "I don't know, I suddenly became weak."
"Feeling weak? What did you do last night?"
Fifth Master Zhang asked deliberately.
"I didn't do anything. I went to Pingtou Mountain last night. When I came back, I felt something was wrong with my body."
Gu Sheng replied directly.
Fifth Master Zhang frowned and carefully observed Gu Sheng's face.
"Did you know that Pingtou Mountain is full of strange phenomena, and you can't break into it casually. Those who trespass without permission will often be counterattacked by the sacred mountain."
Fifth Master Zhang explained somewhat speechlessly.
Gu Sheng was startled, recalling the wind in the crack on the top of the mountain last night.
The wind was extremely cold, as if it could penetrate his body.
Only then did he realize that his weakness might be related to the wind.
"No way? I didn't feel anything at that time. I just wanted to see what was on the sacred mountain, but I found nothing."
Gu Sheng replied.
Seeing that Gu Sheng was honest, Fifth Master Zhang continued, "It seems that you really don't know. However, since you have been affected by the backlash, I can't just sit idly by and do nothing. I will prepare an antidote for you right away."
After saying that, Fifth Master Zhang turned and left the room.
Gu Sheng lay on the bed, filled with gratitude.
He closed his eyes and waited for the return of Fifth Master Zhang.
Soon, Fifth Master Zhang walked in with a bowl of medicinal soup exuding a strange aroma.
He carefully handed the medicinal soup to Gu Sheng, "Drink it quickly. This medicinal soup can relieve the backlash in your body."
Gu Sheng took the medicinal soup and drank it in one gulp.
The taste of the medicinal soup is bitter, but I feel a warm current flowing from my throat to my stomach, and then gradually spreads throughout my body.
Soon, Gu Sheng felt that the strength of his body was slowly recovering, and the feeling of weakness was gradually disappearing.
Fifth Master Zhang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Gu Sheng's face gradually returning to rosy.
He sat by the bed and said earnestly, "Little Sheng, Pingtou Mountain's secret is not easy to reveal. Don't act rashly again in the future."
"Yeah."
Gu Sheng responded, then looked at Fifth Master Zhang and said, "But... I want to find that heavenly book."
"Why?"
Fifth Master Zhang asked with some confusion.
"Actually, there's no reason. I just want to find more source crystals through that heavenly book and improve my cultivation."
Gu Sheng replied.
"Haha..."
After listening to Gu Sheng's words, Fifth Master Zhang couldn't help but laugh, "Little Sheng, Little Sheng, there is nothing wrong with pursuing higher cultivation, but you are too reckless to take such a risk and break into the sacred mountain."
Gu Sheng was speechless.
After all, that sacred mountain is Stone Village's belief, and what he did was indeed a bit excessive.
After a long time, Gu Sheng suddenly asked, "Don't you ever think about entering the sacred mountain?"
"I think so too, but..."
Fifth Master Zhang said, slowly standing up.
"Just what?"
Gu Sheng asked.
"It's just that the sacred mountain is a restricted area for our people, and my ancestors have clearly taught that future generations are not allowed to enter the sacred mountain, but... the inheritance of our ancestors has disappeared in the sacred mountain, so we also have endless yearning for the sacred mountain."
Fifth Master Zhang looked in the direction of the sacred mountain and said.
"That's just right. I'm not your Stone Village, and I'm also very curious about the Book of Heaven. How about this? I enter the sacred mountain and you help me resist the backlash. How about that?"
Gu Sheng asked with eyes shining.
"Are you really not scared?"
Fifth Master Zhang couldn't believe his ears.
He couldn't figure out why the young man in front of him was so unafraid of death.
"Not afraid."
Gu Sheng smiled and nodded.
"Okay, I'll help you!"
Fifth Master Zhang nodded solemnly.
After saying that, Fifth Master Zhang turned around and left the room.
Soon, when Fifth Master Zhang came back, he held several talismans drawn on yellow paper in his hands.
These charms are painted with winding runes, as if there is a faint aura emanating from them.
"Little Sheng, these charms are passed down from our family. They can protect you from poison in the sacred mountain."
Fifth Master Zhang handed the charm to Gu Sheng.
Gu Sheng took the spell and seemed to be able to feel the power of the spell, and couldn't help but feel happy.
"Lao Zhang, thank you very much. These spells are very important to me."
Gu Sheng nodded and said.
"Remember, although these charms can protect you, you must be more careful yourself."
Fifth Master Zhang warned.
"I will, don't worry."
Gu Sheng nodded in agreement.
"Also, the effectiveness of these spells is limited. You must leave the mountain before the spells expire."
Fifth Master Zhang added.
"Will it fail? How long will it take?"
Gu Sheng asked quickly.
"Three days! If it exceeds three days, these spells will have no effect."
Fifth Master Zhang replied.
"I understand."
Gu Sheng carefully put away the charms, knowing that these charms were the key to his survival.
"Then when are you going to leave?"
Fifth Master Zhang asked.
"Early tomorrow morning, I want to set out before dawn so that I can better avoid some dangers."
Gu Sheng answered.
"Okay, you have a good rest today."
Fifth Master Zhang nodded in agreement.
Early the next morning, Gu Sheng was lightly dressed and had only the charm given by Fifth Master Zhang in his hand.
He stood at the door and looked back at Fifth Master Zhang.
"Lao Zhang, I'm leaving."
Gu Sheng said with a faint smile.
"Go ahead, Little Sheng, remember my words, be careful."
Fifth Master Zhang stood at the door, watching Gu Sheng.
Gu Sheng nodded, turned around and set foot on the road to the sacred mountain.
The sun shone on him, adding a touch of warmth to his journey.
Gu Sheng activated his divine power and soon arrived at the foot of the sacred mountain.
This time, Gu Sheng does not plan to fly directly to the top of the sacred mountain, but starts from the foot of the mountain.
Gu Sheng stood at the foot of the sacred mountain, looking up at this ancient mountain.
The mountains are majestic and shrouded in clouds and mist, giving people a mysterious feeling.
"Huh..."
Gu Sheng took a deep breath and started heading towards the top of the mountain.
Along the way, Gu Sheng remained vigilant, fearing that some monster would appear.
But after being vigilant for a while, nothing unusual was found.
The forest is quiet and peaceful, and it doesn't look like there are wild beasts or monsters wandering around.
The sun shines through the gaps in the leaves and sprinkles on the ground.
Gu Sheng Feeling the charm of nature, the nervous mood calmed down.
As the height gradually increased, Gu Sheng began to feel the difference of the sacred mountain.
The air here seems to be filled with a soft energy, which can make the divine power operate more smoothly.
Gu Sheng secretly marveled in his heart, this sacred mountain really lived up to its reputation.
After hours of climbing, Gu Sheng finally reached the top of the mountain.
Suddenly, Gu Sheng noticed that the rocks on the top of the mountain were covered with traces of swords.
The erosion of time has blurred these traces, but you can still feel the intensity of the battle back then.
"This..."
Gu Sheng squatted down and gently touched these marks.
Suddenly, an inexplicable emotion came to my heart.
These traces are at least three thousand years old, which is enough to prove how fierce the battle on Mount Kailash was at that time.
Gu Sheng stood up and looked around.
He suddenly discovered a crack in the center of the top of the mountain. The crack was not wide, but it gave people a sense of depth.
"Huh?"
Gu Sheng felt something in his heart.
He discovered that this crack was not the place where Fire Spirit Dagger penetrated last night?
At that time, a huge crack appeared on the top of the sacred mountain due to the penetration of Fire Spirit Dagger.
Unexpectedly, it has now been repaired naturally.
Then, Gu Sheng squatted down and reached out to touch the edge of the crack.
"Chichichi!"
Waves of weak heat flowed from the cracks.
Suddenly, Gu Sheng thought of the situation when he was poisoned.
At that time, it was because of the wind blowing from the crack that he was poisoned.
But now that I have the charm given to me by Fifth Master Zhang, I don't have to worry about this anymore.
"There must be a peerless treasure in this!"
Gu Sheng said, taking two steps back.
"Whoosh!"
He suddenly summoned his divine power, and Fire Spirit Dagger flew out again.
"Qiang Qiang Qiang!"
Controller Gu Sheng and Fire Spirit Dagger rushed towards the crack again.
After Fire Spirit Dagger hit the flat mountain, it made a rumbling sound again.
There was a burst of dust, which took a cup of tea to disperse.
Gu Sheng cautiously walked to the crack opened by the North Impact. After glancing down, he was stunned.
I saw a winding path underneath!
"Is there... is there another world down here?"
Gu Sheng is a little confused.
If there really is another world, it must be a place that contains great treasures and is rich in Refined Ore Source.
"Go in and take a look!"
After Gu Sheng finished speaking, he jumped directly onto the path underground in the crack.
As his body fell, Gu Sheng felt a strange force pulling him.
It felt as if the space itself was resisting his entry.
Immediately, Gu Sheng summoned his divine power to adapt to this power.
Finally he landed smoothly on the path.
Gu Sheng After standing firm, he looked around.
He found himself in a space he had never been before.
The air here seems fresher and the light softer.
The path was lined with dense vegetation, and some exotic flowers and plants he had never seen before were swaying in the breeze, emitting a faint fragrance.
He walked slowly along the path, alert for any danger that might arise.
The plants on both sides of the path became more and more dense, and some vines even entangled themselves on the path. Gu Sheng had to cut them off with Fire Spirit Dagger in his hand to clear a passage.
As he went deeper, Gu Sheng and Ruan felt a powerful spiritual energy fluctuation.
"Buzz..."
This kind of fluctuation caused the small cauldron in his body to vibrate.
"Is there a treasure ahead?"
Gu Sheng quickened his pace.
