To Gu Sheng’s surprise, the map clearly showed the location of Flathead Mountain.
"This..."
Gu Sheng was somewhat puzzled.
He never expected that within this Ancient Jade, there would be such a Grotto Heaven-like map.
Suddenly, Gu Sheng was drawn to a patch of fog on the map.
It seemed deliberately concealed, appearing mysterious and unpredictable.
Gu Sheng was instantly curious.
Perhaps, it’s a place hiding a massive secret.
"If only I had a camera, I could take pictures and examine them slowly."
Gu Sheng thought to himself.
After saying that, he began to carefully observe the vast map.
"Hmm, go here, and here, this should lead around to here, all right, this is the path."
Gu Sheng studied the map attentively.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a loud bang.
Inside the Ancient Jade, Gu Sheng was startled and quickly withdrew his Divine Sense.
In case something attacked him when his Divine Sense left the body, it would be quite unfavorable.
"This..."
Retracting his Divine Sense, Gu Sheng was stunned.
The cave entrance was blocked by a massive stone.
"Oh no! A falling doorstone?"
Gu Sheng’s heart raced.
Standing at the cave entrance blocked by the stone, his expression was serious.
The loud bang seemed like the call of death, reminding him he might be in a tremendous crisis.
"I can’t just be trapped in here!"
Then, Gu Sheng fiercely condensed his Divine Power, hoping to shatter the stone.
"Boom!"
With a thunderous noise, the stone remained unmoved.
Gu Sheng grew more anxious and tried to condense even stronger Divine Power.
But after several attempts, the stone still showed no reaction.
Out of options, Gu Sheng brandished the Fire Spirit Dagger.
Looking at the dagger’s sharp blade, he encouraged himself, "I rely on you now!"
Then, Gu Sheng drew a significant amount of Divine Power from his Life Spring, focusing it all onto the Fire Spirit Dagger.
"Ding!"
Without hesitation, Gu Sheng thrust the dagger’s tip at the stone.
With a crisp sound, the Fire Spirit Dagger was directly bounced away.
At the same time, striking the spot between the dagger and the stone emitted brilliant sparks.
"This..."
Gu Sheng was astonished again.
Closely examining, he saw not even a trace on the stone.
"Could it be a Vajra stone? This big a Vajra stone?"
Gu Sheng was speechless.
He quickened his pace, seeing a colossal archway standing before him.
The archway was ancient and solemn, as if it had weathered countless ages.
Beside the archway was a stone tablet, inscribed with large characters—East Desolation God King’s destiny ends here.
A strange sense of awe surged in Gu Sheng’s heart.
The East Desolation God King, the stuff of legends.
It’s said he was one of the most powerful beings on this continent, but mysteriously vanished, no one knew his whereabouts.
And here, it turned out, was the end of his journey.
Gu Sheng walked to the stone tablet, lightly touching the characters.
He could feel the ancient and powerful aura emanating from the tablet.
"Even the God King met his end here, why did he come here? Did something kill him?"
"No, if he was killed, he wouldn’t leave markings, there must be another reason."
Gu Sheng stood at the tablet, self-talking.
He knew there had to be some secret here.
Perhaps, it was closely connected to the Ancient Jade he held.
Then, Gu Sheng surveyed his surroundings, in case of other hidden dangers.
But after careful observation, Gu Sheng found nothing, not even any Energy Fluctuation from living beings.
Once assured of safety, he walked to the archway entrance.
Upon reaching it, Gu Sheng found a deep pathway extending behind, flickering lights at the end.
Without hesitation, Gu Sheng stepped into the passage.
The passage was about three meters wide and five meters high, dry and tidy inside, with almost no dust.
