Chapter 471 Cracked Path

Then, Gu Sheng sacrificed the Fire Spirit Dagger.

After Gu Sheng summoned his magical power, the Fire Spirit Dagger instantly turned into a fire dragon and flew into the sky.

"Whoosh!"

Gu Sheng activated his consciousness and controlled the Fire Spirit Dagger to fly towards the center of the top of Pingtou Mountain.

"Bang!"

The Fire Spirit Dagger sank directly into the mountain.

Gu Sheng increased the power output of his spiritual consciousness and drew out the power of Xuanhuang 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 and recalled the Fire Spirit Dagger from the crack.

"This...is nothing?"

Gu Sheng looked into the depth 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 muttered to himself, then summoned 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 Zhang Wuye said, there is a heavy treasure hidden inside.

Or perhaps, the "Seeking Source Heavenly Book" is among them.

In order to clarify the situation, Gu Sheng activated his consciousness and thought about 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 Flathead Mountain was still there.

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 make blind guesses, but to explore the secrets of Pingtou Mountain himself.

At this time, the sky was already slightly bright.

A night of hard work made Gu Sheng tired.

Then, he flew back to Stone Village and returned to his room.

The moment the door closed, Mr. Zhang Wu, who was squatting aside, shook his head gently.

"Young people are more curious about unknown things."

After saying that, Mr. Zhang Wu also got up and returned to his room.

Gu Sheng was lying on the bed, extremely tired.

But his heart was full of 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 a thousand kilograms of weight were 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, Zhang Wuye came to the yard and saw Gu Sheng slumped at the door.

"Xiao Sheng, what's wrong with you? You look very weak."

Mr. Zhang Wu walked quickly to Gu Sheng, 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?"

Zhang Wuye 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.

Mr. Zhang Wu frowned and carefully observed Gu Sheng's face.

"Do you know that there are many strange phenomena in Pingtou Mountain? You can't break into it casually. Those who trespass without permission are often counterattacked by the sacred mountain."

Mr. Zhang Wu 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 didn't find anything."

Gu Sheng replied.

Seeing Gu Sheng's honesty, Mr. Zhang Wu continued: "It seems that you really don't know. However, since you have suffered backlash, I can't just sit back and do nothing. I will prepare an antidote for you right now."

After saying that, Mr. Zhang Wu turned and left the room.

Gu Sheng lay on the bed, his heart full of gratitude.

He closed his eyes and waited for Mr. Zhang Wu's return.

Soon, Mr. Zhang Wu 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 his body's strength was slowly recovering, and the feeling of weakness was gradually disappearing.

Mr. Zhang Wu was relieved when he saw that Gu Sheng's face gradually returned to rosy.

He sat by the bed and said earnestly: "Xiao Sheng, the secret of Pingtou Mountain is not easy to reveal. Don't act rashly again in the future."

"Um."

Gu Sheng responded, then looked at Zhang Wuye and said, "But... I want to find the heavenly book."

"Why?"

Mr. Zhang Wu 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.

"hehe……"

After listening to Gu Sheng's words, Mr. Zhang Wu couldn't help but laugh, "Xiao Sheng, Xiao Sheng, there is nothing wrong with pursuing a higher level of cultivation, but you are too reckless to take such a risk and break into the sacred mountain."

Gu Sheng was silent.

After all, the sacred mountain is the belief of Shitou Village, 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..."

Mr. Zhang Wu said and slowly stood 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."

Zhang Wuye looked in the direction of the sacred mountain and said.

"That's just right. I'm not from 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?"

Mr. Zhang Wu 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!"

Mr. Zhang Wu nodded solemnly.

After saying that, Zhang Wuye turned around and left the room.

Soon, when Zhang Wuye came back, he was holding several talismans drawn on yellow paper in his hand.

These charms are painted with winding runes, as if there is a faint aura emanating from them.

"Xiao Sheng, these charms are passed down from our family. They can protect you from poison in the sacred mountain."

Mr. Zhang Wu handed the talisman 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."

Zhang Wuye 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."

Zhang Wuye 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."

Zhang Wuye replied.

"I see."

Gu Sheng carefully put away the charms, knowing that these charms were the key to his survival.

"Then when are you going to leave?"

Zhang Wuye asked.

"Early tomorrow morning, I want to set out before dawn so that I can better avoid some dangers."

Gu Sheng replied.

"Okay, have a good rest today."

Mr. Zhang Wu nodded in agreement.

Early the next morning, Gu Sheng was dressed simply and only had the charm given by Master Zhang Wu in his hand.

He stood at the door and looked back at Mr. Zhang Wu.

"Lao Zhang, I'm leaving."

Gu Sheng said with a faint smile.

"Go, Xiao Sheng, remember my words, be careful."

Mr. Zhang Wu stood at the door and watched Gu Sheng off.

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 did not plan to fly directly to the top of the sacred mountain, but started from the foot of the mountain.

Gu Sheng stood at the foot of the sacred mountain and looked up at this ancient mountain.

The mountains are majestic and shrouded in clouds and mist, giving people a mysterious feeling.

"call……"

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 felt the charm of nature, and his nervousness calmed down.

As the height gradually increased, Gu Sheng began to feel that the sacred mountain was different.

The air here seems to be filled with a soft energy, which can make the divine power operate more smoothly.

Gu Sheng secretly marveled, 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 knelt 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.

"Um?"

Gu Sheng's heart moved.

He discovered that this crack was not the place where the Fire Spirit dagger had penetrated last night?

At that time, a huge crack appeared on the top of the sacred mountain due to the piercing of the 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!"

A weak stream of heat came 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 Mr. Zhang Wu has given him the charm, he doesn’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 the Fire Spirit Dagger flew out again.

"Qiang Qiang Qiang!"

Controller Gu Sheng and the Fire Spirit Dagger rushed towards the crack again.

The flat mountain made a rumbling sound again after being hit by the North Fire Spirit dagger.

There was a burst of dust, which took a cup of tea to disperse.

Gu Sheng carefully walked to the crack opened by Beicheng. After glancing down, he was stunned.

I saw a winding path underneath!

"Is there...is there another world down here?"

Gu Sheng was a little puzzled.

If there really is another world, it must be a place that contains valuable treasures and is rich in mineral resources.

"Go in and take a look!"

After Gu Sheng finished speaking, he jumped directly into the path beneath 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 up his divine power to adapt to this power.

Finally he landed smoothly on the path.

After Gu Sheng stood 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 the fire spirit dagger in his hand to clear a passage.

As they went deeper, Gu Sheng and Ruan felt a powerful wave of spiritual energy.

"Buzz..."

This kind of fluctuation caused the small cauldron in his body to vibrate.

"Is there a treasure ahead?"

Gu Sheng quickened his pace. (End of chapter)
