Chapter 978: Chapter 513: Peculiarities Within Yin God Mountain

Feeling everyone’s reluctance and worry, Gu Sheng released divine power to comfort them.

"Everyone, to be honest, I’m heading to Yin God Mountain not only to search for the dark wood but also for a fire-red flower."

"Fire-red flower? A middle-level herb?"

"That’s right, during Qingxia Sect’s attack, Stone Village’s buildings were damaged, and you were left with indelible wounds. I’ve tried using divine power to heal them, but the effect was minimal, so I’ve decided to find the fire-red flower for you."

Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes turned red.

"Gu Sheng..."

The elder seemed to want to say something, but after uttering Gu Sheng’s name, he became too choked to speak.

Gu Sheng smiled at them and said, "Stone Village has been kind to me, and I consider myself a part of Stone Village. Now that it is in a time of crisis, I cannot stand by idly. I must visit Yin God Mountain. I give you my word that in a month’s time, whether or not I find these two items, I will return here safely."

After Gu Sheng spoke these words solemnly, Shi Lou and Er Gou also stepped forward.

"Everyone, rest assured, we will be by Brother Sheng’s side. No matter what happens, we will return safely."

The atmosphere was somewhat melancholic, but no one attempted to persuade them further.

Because they knew Gu Sheng’s mind was set; persuasion would be futile.

"You must stay safe. We’ll be waiting for you here."

Understanding that this sentence signified compromise, Gu Sheng smiled and nodded.

Just as they were about to leave, the people from Soul Refining Cave stopped them.

"Brother Sheng, Yin God Mountain is fraught with danger. We’ll go with you."

"Your injuries haven’t healed yet, and accompanying me to Yin God Mountain might cost you the remaining half of your lives."

"We’re not afraid."

Hearing their eager explanations, Gu Sheng waved his hand.

"You’re still alive, bearing not one person’s burden. The half-lives you have now were exchanged for theirs. I understand your intentions, but I can’t let you do it. I brought you here to ensure you live well. Remember to recuperate after I leave, and when I return, I hope to see you healthy."

Saying this, Gu Sheng waved to them and left with Shi Lou and Er Gou.

For several consecutive days, they kept traveling until the sun set again, and only then did Gu Sheng stop.

He looked up ahead and saw a lofty mountain, its summit stained golden by the sun’s residual glow, appearing very warm, yet they only felt a chilling cold here.

Shi Lou and Er Gou’s divine powers were weaker, so the cold felt even stronger to them.

The two unconsciously leaned together and continuously rubbed their arms.

"Brother Sheng, why is this place so cold?"

"Yeah, the closer we get to the foot of the mountain, the colder it gets. My legs are even starting to shake."

Hearing their words, Gu Sheng softly said, "Once we cross this mountain, we’ll reach Yin God Mountain. Yin God Mountain is shrouded in Yin Qi, with no barriers to block it, so the cold Yin Qi has spread here. Crossing this mountain is a challenge."

"Brother Sheng, are you saying we must conquer this mountain to reach Yin God Mountain?"
