However, not long after, Gu Sheng gradually felt something was wrong.

Although his divine power was constantly impacting the bottleneck of the other side realm, that bottleneck was like a solid barrier that could never be broken.

He tried again and again, but failed every time.

"What's going on? What went wrong?"

Gu Sheng began to feel anxious, realizing that he might be stuck in a vicious circle.

Although his divine power is constantly increasing, it seems to be far from enough to reach the bottleneck of the other shore realm.

He needs more energy, or a more sophisticated method of practice, to achieve a breakthrough.

"call……"

Gu Sheng took a deep breath, knowing that he couldn't keep trying here endlessly.

He decided to calm down, re-examine his training methods, and look for an opportunity for a breakthrough.

Just like that, Gu Sheng slowly withdrew his divine power and allowed his mind to return to peace.

Gu Sheng closed his eyes and began to review his cultivation journey.

He wanted to find some problems using this method of recollection.

"Why is it so difficult to go from the Other Shore Realm to the Dao Palace Realm?"

Gu Sheng muttered to himself.

At the same time, he began to try to understand the mysteries of the Dao Palace Realm from different angles.

He knew that the Dao Palace realm was the refinement of "God" and also an application of the Dao.

He needs to combine his divine power with the laws of Tao to truly achieve a breakthrough.

Gu Sheng began to try different methods of cultivation.

He combined his divine power with the natural energy around him, trying to find a frequency that matched the Dao Palace realm.

At this moment, he seemed to have turned into a vortex of energy, constantly absorbing and releasing the natural energy around him.

Especially the hundred kilograms of concentrate, which can be said to be the source of strength.

However, despite all Gu Sheng's efforts, he still could not break through to the Dao Palace realm.

Countless attempts made Gu Sheng feel unprecedented frustration.

The path of cultivation is never smooth, and every failure is a necessary step on the road to success.

But if the method is wrong, it will really be a big mistake.

"It seems that we can't just go down one path until the end."

Gu Sheng decided to give up on forcing a breakthrough for the time being and planned to look for other resources for cultivation.

"Ok?"

At this time, Gu Sheng suddenly noticed that the color of the hundred-jin concentrate had become much darker.

"How could this be?"

Gu Sheng squatted down, looked at the concentrate source, and felt its energy.

"Puff puff!"

Suddenly, the source of the ore actually reflected the power of resistance.

"What's going on?"

Gu Sheng was a little puzzled, and at the same time, he slightly mobilized his divine power, trying to explore the energy contained therein.

But when Gu Sheng's divine power probed into the source of the concentrate, he found that his divine power was blocked.

So, there is only one explanation.

That is the power in the essence source, which is above one's own realm.

In other words, Gu Sheng was not qualified to absorb the remaining power in the concentrate source.

"It seems that the power in this concentrate source can only be absorbed by those who have reached the Dao Palace Realm. We can't let other people discover the concentrate 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.

And at this moment, Gu Sheng's spiritual sense suddenly captured a hint of unusual aura.

"Master Wu, what should we do? That's the life of half the village."

"Yeah, you really treat us like shit!"

"In my opinion, you might as well just fight him!"

There were voices of several men in the distance.

"Fight? What are you fighting for? The lives of the villagers?"

An old voice came.

Gu Sheng used his divine power to listen to the sounds coming from afar, and seemed to realize that these people seemed to be in some trouble.

But I'm in the cave now, and I don't know them, so there's no need to go out.

Besides, getting involved in other people’s karma is not a good thing.

Thinking of this, Gu Sheng leaned against a stone in the cave and rested comfortably.

And at this moment, a roar was heard.

Then, Gu Sheng used his spiritual sense to sense that the mountain people seemed to be attacked by wild beasts.

Listening to the wailing, Gu Sheng could no longer remain calm.

At this moment, his mind was filled with the mountain brothers in the mine.

"No, I can't just ignore it!"

Thinking of this, Gu Sheng rushed out of the cave.

He was shocked to discover that those who attacked the mountain people were actually some stone beasts that he had never seen before.

These stone beasts are as strong as tigers and very fast.

Those mountain people were unable to resist at all and could only flee in all directions to save their lives.

"Shh!"

Gu Sheng couldn't bear to watch it, so he summoned his divine power, took out his Fire Spirit Dagger and rushed forward.

"Chichichi!"

The flaming dagger drew streaks of fire and struck the stone beasts' vital points.

"Ow!"

A stone beast howled in pain and fell to the ground.

When his colleague lost vital signs, Stone's body collapsed instantly and turned into a pile of rubble.

Gu Sheng did not pause at all as he shuttled through the group of stone beasts...

The fire spirit dagger flew up and down, one after another.

In less than a cup of tea, half of the stone beasts had been killed.

Seeing this, the remaining stone beasts seemed to realize the fear and fled away in a hurry.

The leading Master Zhang Wu and several other mountain people looked at Gu Sheng in shock, their eyes full of awe.

They thought Gu Sheng was a god who had descended to earth, and they all knelt down before him.

"My benefactor, you saved the lives of all our villagers!"

There was a tremor in Master Zhang Wu's voice.

"It doesn't have to be like this, I just did what I was supposed to do."

Gu Sheng waved his hand.

Then he walked forward and helped up the remaining dozen or so mountain people.

"My benefactor, you must be a deity sent by God to save us."

The leader, Uncle Zhang Wu, burst into tears and seemed to have an emotional breakdown at this moment.

Gu Sheng was speechless.

He didn't expect that a simple help from him would make them so grateful.

"I'm really not a deity, I'm just a tourist passing by."

Gu Sheng said with a speechless smile.

At this time, a young mountain dweller came up to Uncle Zhang Wu and said, "Uncle Wu, we have to speed up the mining. It will be too late if we delay any longer."

"Ah."

Uncle Zhang Wu wiped the tears from his eyes and nodded gently: "I know."

After saying this, Master Zhang Wu forced a smile and said, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, benefactor."

Then, he turned around and said to the remaining companions: "You guys are responsible for transporting their bodies back. The rest of you, follow me and continue to look for minerals."

When Gu Sheng heard the word "prospecting for minerals", he immediately became interested. "Master Zhang... Fifth, what do you mean by prospecting for minerals?"

When Master Zhang Wu heard Gu Sheng calling him that, he quickly refused, "My benefactor, please don't call me Master Wu. I can't bear it."

"Um...then don't call me your majesty anymore, just call me Xiao Sheng."

Gu Sheng smiled and said.

"Ha ha……"

Uncle Zhang Wu laughed heartily, "Okay, then you can call me Lao Zhang. This way we will seem closer."

After these words were spoken, the relationship between the two sides seemed to become much more subtle.

"Xiao Sheng, why are you here?"

Uncle Zhang Wu asked casually.

"I came here just to survive and avoid being chased."

Gu Sheng shook his head helplessly.

"Oh?"

Master Zhang Wu's expression suddenly turned serious: "I didn't expect you to be similar to us..."

"Why? Someone is trying to hunt you down too?"

Gu Sheng asked in surprise.

"That's right, that bearded Chen threatened to massacre the whole village!"

At this time, a young man standing behind Master Zhang Wu said.

"What! There is such a thing!"

Gu Sheng's face was filled with shock.

"Yes, that bearded man wants Master Wu to find the location of the mineral vein. If we don't find it, he will massacre the whole village!"

The young man continued.

"Mineral veins are not easy to find. He is obviously bullying me!"

Gu Sheng said with sympathy.

Hearing this, Uncle Zhang Wu patted Gu Sheng on the shoulder, his face showing pride but also a bit of helplessness.

"Xiao Sheng, you may not know that our ancestors have made a living by prospecting for minerals. Our family was once the most famous prospector on this continent. We can use special methods to find those source ores that contain rich energy."

Gu Sheng listened attentively, with curiosity gleaming in his eyes.

"Source ore? You actually have this ability?"

"Yes, the raw ore contains different kinds of power. They are valuable resources for practitioners to improve their strength. However, ever since Saint Yaoguang issued an order prohibiting private mining of raw ore, life has become difficult for us prospectors."

Uncle Zhang Wu nodded and sighed heavily.

Gu Sheng frowned. He could sense the helplessness in Master Zhang Wu's words: "Then you guys now..."

Uncle Zhang Wu looked up at the mountain and continued, "Now, in order to deal with that bearded Chen, we can only secretly look for source ore to make a living, but this is very risky, just like today, we encountered those stone beasts."

Gu Sheng recalled the scene just now, and the strength of those stone beasts still frightened him.

"What on earth are those stone beasts?"

Gu Sheng asked.

"Those stone beasts are the result of the gathering of the essence of source ore. They guard the source ore. The more stone beasts there are, the more source ore there is. Therefore, every time we look for source ore, we have to risk our lives."

Uncle Zhang Wu explained.

Gu Sheng nodded and began to understand the situation of Master Zhang Wu and the others.

"Then do you still want to continue looking for the raw ore?"

Gu Sheng asked.

"try to find!"

Uncle Zhang Wu said with a firm look on his face.

Seeing that Master Zhang Wu and the others were also trying to protect the village, Gu Sheng secretly wondered whether he should tell them about the source of the concentrate in the cave.

At this time, Gu Sheng suddenly saw bloodstains on the ground.

The mountain man who just died, no one knew whose son or husband he was.

It is better not to let such bloodshed happen again.

Thinking of this, Gu Sheng said directly: "Lao Zhang, I will take you to a place where you may have what you want."

"Oh?"

Master Zhang Wu's eyes lit up, "Where?"

"It's not far ahead."

Gu Sheng pointed to the cave in front and said.

"Row!"

Then, Zhang Wuye and five or six other people followed Gu Sheng and walked towards the cave ahead.

The entrance to the cave was hidden in a dense bush. If it weren't for Gu Sheng's guidance, it would have been difficult for Zhang Wuye and his men to find this secluded hiding place.

As the group stepped into the cave cautiously, a cold breath hit them in the face.

It was dark in the cave, and the torches carried by Zhang Wuye and his companions emitted faint lights in the darkness.

They moved along the cave's passage, their footsteps echoing in the empty cavern.

Gu Sheng walked in front, leading the way for them.

"Xiao Sheng, are you sure there is really what we need here?"

Master Zhang Wu, who was walking next to Gu Sheng, couldn't help but ask.

"Don't worry, Lao Zhang."

Gu Sheng turned around and comforted him, "I've been here before, and this is indeed where you want to be."

"here……"

There was uncertainty in Uncle Zhang Wu's voice, because he had never thought that he would find source ore in such a place.

Gu Sheng didn't answer, but just kept going.

Soon, they came to a spacious area in the cave, which was also where Gu Sheng had rested before.

There, a huge piece of ore lies quietly.

It emits a faint glow, making it particularly eye-catching even in the dim cave.

"God..."

Uncle Zhang Wu and the mountain people couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

Their eyes were attracted by this huge source of concentrate.

Gu Sheng turned around with a confident smile on his face: "Lao Zhang, this is what I said, what you may need."

Uncle Zhang Wu walked 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."

Uncle Zhang Wu's voice was trembling slightly.

"Such a large source of concentrate, am I dreaming?"

"Yeah, I've lived for more than 20 years and I've never seen one this big!"

Several mountain people also came forward, their eyes full of surprise.

Gu Sheng nodded: "Yes, this concentrate source weighs at least a hundred kilograms. If we give it to the bearded 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 could exchange this ore for peace, that would undoubtedly be the best option.

However, Uncle Zhang Wu shook his head.

He frowned and said, "No, this concentrate source is extraordinary. It may be the foundation of the entire mountain. If it is taken out, the entire mountain may lose its spiritual vein and be backfired by nature."

"Forehead……"

Gu Sheng was stunned.

He had never thought about such consequences, let alone the so-called "backlash".

Perhaps this is the respect that mountain people have for nature.
Gu Sheng looked at Master Zhang Wu and asked curiously, "Backlash? Is there such a thing?"

Uncle Zhang Wu nodded and said, "It takes tens of thousands or even millions of years for the source ore to form. They are connected to the spiritual veins of the mountain. This piece of ore is so huge that 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 what Uncle Zhang Wu said, the light of hope on their faces gradually dimmed.

They knew that what Master Zhang Wu said made sense. After all, in their hearts, Master Wu was a god-like existence in the mineral vein. (End of this chapter)
