Then, Gu Sheng took out the Fire Spirit Dagger.

After Gu Sheng gathered his divine power, the Fire Spirit Dagger instantly transformed into a fire dragon and flew into the sky.

"Whoosh!"

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

"boom!"

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 even more powerful power.

"Boom!"

"Crack!"

After a loud bang, there was a sound of the mountain exploding.

Just like that, a bottomless crack appeared in front of Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng leaned forward to take 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 depths of the crack and spoke speechlessly.

"Chichichi!"

Suddenly, gusts of cold wind blew in from the depths of the crack.

Gu Sheng thought there was something strange about the wind, so he quickly dodged to the side.

But after the wind blew, there was nothing unusual, and it was quiet.

Gu Sheng stuck his head out again and looked towards the abyss crack.

"See what the reaction is."

Gu Sheng muttered to himself, then gathered his divine power and released his divine consciousness.

As his spiritual sense probed deeper, Gu Sheng actually discovered that deep in the crack, there was an impenetrable barrier.

According to common sense, this kind of stone mountain should be filled with stones.

My own spiritual consciousness cannot break through, so it seems that just as Master Zhang Wu said, there are treasures hidden inside.

Or maybe, the "Book of Seeking the Origin" is among them.

In order to figure out the situation, Gu Sheng activated his spiritual sense, trying to break through this barrier.

But after trying several times, the barrier remained motionless.

In desperation, Gu Sheng had to retract his spiritual consciousness.

He looked up and saw that the halo above Pingtou Mountain was still there.

The brightness of the halo did not decrease, like a mysterious veil, covering the entire mountain top.

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, could it be that this halo was just a natural phenomenon caused by the liquefaction of water vapor?

Gu Sheng frowned and decided not to make blind guesses anymore, but to explore the secrets of Pingtou Mountain himself.

By this time the sky was already slightly bright.

After a night of hard work, Gu Sheng was also tired.

Then he flew back to the Stone Village and returned to the room.

At the moment the door closed, Uncle Zhang Wu, who was squatting beside him, shook his head gently.

“Young people are more curious about unknown things.”

After saying that, Uncle Zhang Wu also stood up and returned to his room.

Gu Sheng lay on the bed, feeling extremely exhausted.

But his heart was full of curiosity about Pingtou Mountain.

He closed his eyes, trying to calm his mind, and soon he fell into a deep sleep.

A few hours later, strong sunlight shone through the window onto his face.

Gu Sheng slowly opened his eyes and felt his body was extremely heavy, as if a thousand-pound burden was pressing on him.

"so tired……"

Gu Sheng let out a long sigh, then thought about sitting up.

But only then did he realize that even getting up had become a luxury.

He gritted his teeth, used all his strength, and finally sat up.

Then he staggered towards the door.

However, the moment he pushed the door open, his legs went limp and he collapsed at the door.

"what happened?"

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.

Just then, Master Zhang Wu came into the yard and saw Gu Sheng slumped at the door.

"Xiao Sheng, what happened to you? You look very weak."

Uncle Zhang Wu walked quickly to Gu Sheng, helped him back to bed, and asked with concern.

Gu Sheng lay weakly on the bed, and said in a trembling voice: "I don't know, I suddenly felt weak all over."

"Feeling exhausted? What did you do last night?"

Master Zhang Wu asked deliberately.

"I didn't do anything. I went to Pingtou Mountain last night, and after I came back, I felt something was wrong with my body."

Gu Sheng replied directly.

Uncle Zhang Wu frowned and observed Gu Sheng's expression carefully.

"You know that Pingtou Mountain is full of strange phenomena. You can't just enter it casually. Those who enter without permission will often be retaliated by the sacred mountain."

Uncle Zhang Wu explained speechlessly.

Gu Sheng was startled and recalled the wind that blew in the crack on the top of the mountain last night.

The wind was so cold that it seemed to 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 the 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, Master Zhang Wu continued, "It seems that you really don't know. However, since you have already suffered a backlash, I can't just sit back and watch. I will go and prepare an antidote for you."

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

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

He closed his eyes and waited for Master Zhang Wu to return.

Soon, Uncle Zhang Wu came in carrying a bowl of medicinal soup that exuded a strange aroma.

He carefully handed the medicine to Gu Sheng, "Drink it quickly, this medicine can relieve the backlash in your body."

Gu Sheng took the medicine and drank it all.

The medicinal soup tastes bitter, but I feel a warm current flowing from my throat to my stomach, and then gradually spreading to my whole body.

Soon, Gu Sheng felt that his body's strength was slowly recovering, and the feeling of weakness was gradually disappearing.

Master Zhang Wu heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Gu Sheng's face was gradually returning to its rosy color.

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

"Ah."

Gu Sheng responded, then looked at Master Zhang Wu and said, "But... I want to find that heavenly book."

"why?"

Uncle Zhang Wu asked in some confusion.

"Actually, there is no reason for this. I just want to find more source crystals through that heavenly book and improve my cultivation."

Gu Sheng replied.

"Ha ha……"

After hearing what Gu Sheng said, Master Zhang Wu couldn't help but laugh, "Xiao Sheng, Xiao Sheng, there is nothing wrong with pursuing a higher level of cultivation, but it is too reckless for you to risk entering the sacred mountain like this."

Gu Sheng said nothing.

After all, the sacred mountain is the belief of Shitou Village, and what he did was indeed a bit excessive.

After a long while, Gu Sheng suddenly asked, "Have you never thought about entering the sacred mountain?"

"I do, but..."

Uncle Zhang Wu said this and slowly stood up.

"Just what?"

Gu Sheng asked.

"It's just that the sacred mountain is a restricted area for our tribe, and my ancestors have clearly instructed that future generations are not allowed to enter the sacred mountain, but... the inheritance of our ancestors disappeared in the sacred mountain, so we also have an endless yearning for the sacred mountain."

Uncle Zhang Wu looked in the direction of the sacred mountain and said.

"That's perfect. I'm not from your Stone Village, and I'm also very curious about the Heavenly Book. How about this? I'll enter the sacred mountain, and you'll help me resist the backlash. How about that?"

Gu Sheng asked with shining eyes.

"Are you really not scared?"

Master Zhang Wu couldn't believe his ears. He couldn't understand why this young man in front of him was so fearless of death.

"Not afraid."

Gu Sheng smiled and nodded.

"Okay, I'll help you!"

Uncle Zhang Wu nodded solemnly.

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

Not long after, when Uncle Zhang Wu came back, he was holding a few talismans drawn on yellow paper in his hand.

These talismans are painted with curved runes, and seem to be emitting a faint spiritual energy.

"Xiao Sheng, these talismans are inherited from our family. They can protect you from poison in the sacred mountain."

Uncle Zhang Wu handed the talisman to Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng took the talisman and seemed to be able to feel the power of the talisman, and he couldn't help but feel happy.

"Thank you, Lao Zhang. These spells are very important to me."

Gu Sheng nodded and said.

"Remember, although these spells can protect you, you still have to be careful yourself."

Uncle Zhang Wu warned.

"I will, don't worry."

Gu Sheng nodded and agreed.

"Also, these spells have limited effectiveness. You must leave the sacred mountain before the spells lose their effectiveness."

Uncle Zhang Wu added.

"Will it lose its effect? ​​How long?"

Gu Sheng asked hurriedly.

"Three days! After three days, these spells will have no effect."

Uncle Zhang Wu replied.

"I understand."

Gu Sheng carefully put the talismans away, knowing that they were the key to his survival.

"Then when are you going to leave?"

Uncle Zhang Wu asked.

"Tomorrow morning, I want to set out at daybreak so that I can better avoid some dangers."

Gu Sheng answered.

"Okay, you should have a good rest today."

Uncle Zhang Wu nodded in agreement.

The next morning, Gu Sheng traveled light and had only the talisman given by Master Zhang Wu in his hand.

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

"Lao Zhang, I'm leaving."

Gu Sheng said with a faint smile.

"Go ahead, Xiao Sheng, remember what I said, be careful."

Uncle Zhang Wu stood at the door, watching Gu Sheng leave.

Gu Sheng nodded, turned around and set out on the road to the sacred mountain.

The sunshine shone on his body, adding a touch of warmth to his journey.

Gu Sheng mobilized 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 to start from the foot of the mountain.

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

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 might appear.

But after being vigilant for a while, nothing unusual was found.

The forest was quiet and peaceful, and there didn't seem to be any wild beasts or monsters roaming around.

The sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, casting patches of light on the ground.

Gu Sheng felt the charm of nature, and his tense mood calmed down.

As the altitude gradually increased, Gu Sheng began to feel the uniqueness of the sacred mountain.

There seems to be a gentle energy in the air here, which allows the divine power to flow more smoothly.

Gu Sheng secretly marveled in his heart, this sacred mountain is indeed worthy of its reputation.

After several hours of climbing, Gu Sheng finally reached the top of the mountain.

Suddenly, Gu Sheng noticed that the stones on the top of the mountain were covered with marks of swords and knives.

The erosion of time has made these traces blurred, but one can still feel the fierceness of the battle back then.

"This……"

Gu Sheng squatted down and gently touched the marks.

Suddenly, an inexplicable feeling came over me.

These traces are at least three thousand years old, enough to prove how fierce the battle on the sacred mountain was at that time.

Gu Sheng stood up and looked around.

He suddenly discovered a crack in the center of the mountain top. The crack was not wide, but it gave people a sense of depth.

"Ok?"

Gu Sheng's heart moved.

He discovered that this crack was exactly the place where the Fire Spirit's dagger pierced last night?
At that time, a huge crack appeared on the top of the sacred mountain because of the piercing of the Fire Spirit Dagger.

But I didn't expect that it has been repaired naturally now.

Then, Gu Sheng squatted down and reached out to touch the edge of the crack.

"Chichichi!"

Faint streams of heat came out from the cracks.

Suddenly, Gu Sheng thought of the time when he was poisoned.

At that time, it was the wind blowing out of the crack that poisoned him.

But now I have the talisman given to me by Master Zhang Wu, so I don’t have to worry about that anymore.

"There must be a priceless treasure in here!"

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!"

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

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

A cloud of dust flew up, and it took a full cup of tea to dissipate.

Gu Sheng walked carefully to the crack created by the northern impact, and after taking a look down, he was stunned.

I saw a winding path appearing below!
"Is there...is there another world underneath this?"

Gu Sheng was a little puzzled.

If there really is another world, it must be a place full of treasures and rich mineral resources.

"Go in and take a look!"

After Gu Sheng finished speaking, he jumped directly into the small path under 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.

Then, Gu Sheng mobilized his divine power to adapt to this force.

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 to before.

The air here seems fresher and the light softer.

There were lush vegetation on both sides of the path, and some exotic flowers and plants he had never seen before swayed 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 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 fluctuation of spiritual energy.

"Om..."

This vibration caused the small cauldron in his body to vibrate.

“Is there a treasure ahead?”

Gu Sheng quickened his pace. (End of this chapter)
