Chapter 889: Chapter 468: The 100-Pound Refined Ore Source (Part 2)
Gu Sheng weaves through the rain, his speed not as fast as before, but much more concealed.
Yao Xi and her subordinates’ figures grow distant in the rain...
They have not noticed that Gu Sheng has already changed direction.
Gu Sheng flies through the rainy night, his body almost blending with the darkness, only the occasional flash of lightning reveals his silhouette.
Gu Sheng remains vigilant, he must use this opportunity to distance himself from Yao Xi as much as possible.
Soon, Gu Sheng traverses the rainforest and reaches the grassland.
He glances eastward; the sky is already somewhat bright.
As the first ray of sunshine pierces through the clouds, everything on the grassland is bathed in a golden hue.
Gu Sheng knows that the arrival of daylight means it’s easier to be spotted, especially on this open grassland.
He looks around and notices mountains to his right.
These mountains stand quietly on the horizon like Guardians.
"There it is!"
Gu Sheng decides silently, flying directly toward the mountains.
His speed isn’t as swift as last night, having exhausted himself throughout the night.
The rain has stopped by now, the mountain air is much fresher, carrying the scent of earth and plants.
A night’s flight leaves Gu Sheng feeling exhausted.
His Divine Power is greatly depleted, and his body feels heavier than ever.
At the mountain’s base, Gu Sheng slows, his eyes searching the mountain for a possible hideout.
He knows that a cave would be a great choice.
It not only provides shelter but also helps him avoid being seen by pursuers.
Soon, Gu Sheng spots a hidden cave on a rock face.
The entrance is obscured by vines and shrubs, making it hard to find unless closely inspected.
Cautiously, Gu Sheng parts the vines and enters the cave.
The interior is more spacious than he imagined, drops of water drip from the ceiling forming small pools on the floor, moss and ferns cover the walls.
Gu Sheng moves deeper into the cave, finding a dry corner to rest and recuperate temporarily.
He sits cross-legged, closes his eyes, and begins channeling his Divine Power to restore his strength.
"Inhale... Exhale..."
Gu Sheng adjusts his breathing, trying to let his Divine Power slowly nourish his meridians.
Gradually, the surrounding air seems to ripple gently with his breaths.
The Divine Power circulates within Gu Sheng, slowly repairing his weary body.
After a few hours, Gu Sheng feels his strength returning gradually, his Divine Power slowly replenishing.
Feeling almost fully recovered, Gu Sheng opens his eyes.
The cave remains dim, but it’s bright enough for him.
He stands up, stretches his limbs, and walks toward the entrance.
At the entrance, he looks out.
Sunshine floods the grassland, the distant mountains appear even more magnificent under its rays.
"What a wonderful place, who would’ve thought the Northern Territory had such scenery."
Gu Sheng secretly admires.
"If not for the Shaking Light Sacred Land pursuing me, I could live here my whole life..."
Gu Sheng muses inwardly.
As he says this, a sudden wave of melancholy sweeps over him.
Thinking back to the Southern Domain, chased by the Ji family.
Now in the Northern Territory, entangled with Shaking Light Sacred Land.
Only the Demon Clan treated him well, though their reputation...
"Sigh..."
Thinking this, Gu Sheng can’t help but let out a deep sigh.
"Life... life as a man is indeed too tough..."
Finishing his words, Gu Sheng punches the cave wall.
"Crash!"
Suddenly, the rock crumbles, scattering some Crystal Stones on the ground.
"Hmm?"
Gu Sheng stands shocked.
He didn’t expect such an inadvertent action to unveil Crystal Stones hidden within the rock.
The Crystal Stones sparkle brightly in the sunlight.
He crouches down to examine them, realizing their high quality.
Though not refined ore, compared to those mined from quarries, these are several times better.
"What the heck, how can there be such a thing here?"
Gu Sheng is surprised, then punches the rock again.
"Crash..."
More rocks fall away, revealing even more Crystal Stones.
Embedded in the mountain as if a hidden treasure unveiled.
Gu Sheng’s heart races, realizing these Crystal Stones lie on a vein.
A vein akin to a Dragon Vein, with refined ore usually at its end.
Gu Sheng’s eyes gleam with delight, if he can find a refined ore, wouldn’t his realm experience a breakthrough?
With this thought, Gu Sheng decides to follow the Crystal Stone vein to find refined ore.
Carefully, he follows the vein’s path, parting vines and shrubs, closely observing the Crystal Stone distribution.
With each step deeper, the Crystal Stone quality seems to improve.
This heightens his belief he’s nearing refined ore.
The mountain’s environment is complex and ever-changing, making Gu Sheng stay wary of potential dangers.
Sunlight filters through the foliage, dappled patterns dancing on him.
Who knows how much time has passed when Gu Sheng finally discovers signs of refined ore in a hidden mountain hollow.
The quantity and quality of Crystal Stones here are exceptionally high.
Emitting a faint glow, they seem to beckon Gu Sheng.
"Whew..."
Gu Sheng takes a deep breath, feeling like he’s dreaming.
Cautiously, he approaches the densest cluster of Crystal Stones and begins to absorb energy from the refined ore.
"Sizzle..."
As he absorbs, the surrounding Crystal Stones begin to dim, while Gu Sheng’s Divine Power grows ever stronger.
He can feel his realm gradually improving.
The sensation of burgeoning power excites him immensely.
"It’s not a dream! This is not a dream."
Gu Sheng’s eyes light up with excitement.
Simultaneously, he looks toward the vein’s end.
A cave, similar to where he rested before.
Without hesitation, Gu Sheng enters it.
This cave is much drier, and to his surprise, it has a crystal clear feel.
It feels like stepping into a brightly lit room.
Quickly, Gu Sheng’s eyes widen, a massive Crystal Stone appears before him.
His heart races, charging forward at once.
His fingers nearly touch the enormous Crystal Stone.
Yet as he nears, Gu Sheng suddenly feels a strong force pushing back.
"Refined ore! This really is refined ore!"
Gu Sheng takes a deep breath, struggling to calm his emotions.
Cautiously, he extends his hand, gently touching the radiant refined ore.
"Hundred pounds heavy! I’m rich! I’m damn rich!"
Gu Sheng marvels inwardly.
The quality of this refined ore far exceeds his expectations.
Subsequently, drawing on the refined ore’s power, Gu Sheng rallies his Divine Power.
He senses his Divine Power inside him expanding ceaselessly, as if about to shatter a barrier.
As a cultivator, Gu Sheng has lingered at the Other Shore Realm for a long time.
He’s longed for a breakthrough to the Dao Palace Secret Realm, a new cultivation level that offers a qualitative leap in power.
As Gu Sheng absorbs the refined ore’s power, subtle changes begin within his body.
His flesh and organs seem wrapped in a warm power.
This power continually cleanses his body, invigorating every cell.
At this moment, Gu Sheng’s very bones undergo a transformation.
Even his spirit elevates at this moment.
Gu Sheng’s cognition sharpens, his understanding and insights into cultivation differing from before.
"Sizzle..."
Divine Power rampages within him like a rushing river, hammering at the Other Shore’s bottleneck.
"I will break through the Other Shore, reach the Dao Palace Realm!"
Gu Sheng vows silently.
