Finally, he climbed to the top of the mountain, and saw a gigantic stone cave appear before his eyes.

And that strange aura was emanating from the stone cave!

Gu Sheng took a deep breath and then carefully walked into the stone cave…

As soon as he entered the cave, Gu Sheng felt a chilling aura wash over him.

He looked around and found that the stone cave was surprisingly spacious, as if it were a natural cavern.

The walls of the cavern were covered with various strange runes and patterns, appearing ancient and mysterious.

Gu Sheng observed those runes and patterns closely, trying to decipher their meaning.

He found that he couldn't understand the true meaning of those runes at all, as if they contained a power beyond his comprehension.

Just then, he suddenly felt a powerful energy wave coming from the depths of the cave.

Gu Sheng was moved and immediately cautiously made his way in that direction.

As he went deeper and deeper, the energy wave grew stronger, as if something was awakening.

Finally, he reached the depths of the cave.

There appeared a huge stone platform before his eyes, and on the platform lay a cyan dagger.

The dagger exuded a powerful aura, as if it held endless strength.

And that strange aura was emanating from this dagger!

"Boom!"

A loud bang echoed in the dim stone chamber. Gu Sheng wielded the Mystical Sky Sword, cleaving the hard stone wall with a single slash. The stone wall cracked open, revealing a cyan-green dagger.

"Finally found an enchanted weapon!" A hint of delight flashed in Gu Sheng's eyes, and he reached out to take the dagger.

Just then, a plump figure suddenly appeared, face beaming red; it was none other than the unscrupulous Taoist Wu Dewang. He snatched the dagger and said with a grin, "This object is too ominous, let me help you subdue it."

Ever since arriving in the East Desolation, Wu Dewang's temperament changed drastically, as if he no longer recognized Gu Sheng, and his actions became increasingly outrageous. In fact, everyone who came to the East Desolation experienced a change in temperament, as this was a magical world capable of warping one's nature. Gu Sheng's face darkened, glaring at Wu Dewang, "You're outright robbing me!"

Wu Dewang smiled nonchalantly, "Young friend Gu, you shouldn't say it like that. This dagger is indeed a fierce weapon. Look at its glowing green, chilling aura; if it falls into the hands of someone with ill intentions, wouldn't it cause havoc? I'll safeguard it on behalf of heaven."

Gu Sheng ground his teeth in anger but was helpless. Wu Dewang's cultivation was unfathomable, and he couldn't compete.

"Hmph! Just you wait!" Gu Sheng glared fiercely at Wu Dewang and turned to continue searching for other enchanted weapons.

Shortly after, Gu Sheng discovered a blood-colored pearl. The pearl radiated light, surrounded by a red glow, clearly not a mundane item.

Just as Gu Sheng was about to touch the pearl, Wu Dewang appeared once more like a ghost and snatched the pearl.

"This pearl is formed from demon magic. For the sake of all living beings, I must intervene once again," Wu Dewang proclaimed with an air of righteousness.

Gu Sheng was beyond enraged, "Wu Dewang! Don't push it too far!"

Wu Dewang merely smiled without a word, further adopting a pretentious demeanor.

Gu Sheng took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing the anger in his heart. He knew that now was not the time to break with Wu Dewang. He must continue to search for enchanted weapons, boost his strength, and find a chance to reclaim the treasures that were taken.

Thinking this, Gu Sheng turned and decided to leave this infuriating place.

"Trying to leave? Not so easy!" Wu Dewang suddenly blocked Gu Sheng's path, the Treasure bowl in his hand swirling with black light, exuding a chilling pressure.

Gu Sheng's eyes narrowed, knowing that Wu Dewang intended to tear all pretenses aside. Without saying another word, he immediately activated his cultivation technique, "Gale Nine Swords!"

In an instant, nine Sword Qi intersected, sweeping towards Wu Dewang. Wu Dewang merely chuckled lightly, and the Treasure bowl in his hand emitted dazzling black light, swallowing all the Sword Qi.

"A grain of rice tries to shine?" mocked Wu Dewang.

Gu Sheng's heart trembled, aware that the gap in strength between him and Wu Dewang was too vast to fight head-on. He made a decisive move, activated "Carefree Ascension Step," and with a flicker of movement, attempted to bypass Wu Dewang and escape from this place.

Yet Wu Dewang followed like a shadow, and the Treasure bowl in his hand released even more violent black light, enveloping Gu Sheng.

"Shadow Concealment Skill!" Gu Sheng shouted, his figure vanishing on the spot, reappearing in another corner. He knew he couldn't keep avoiding forever and had to think of a way to counterattack.

Just then, he suddenly remembered his Grass Vine Demon Soul. With a thought, the over ten-thousand-meter-long Grass Vine Demon Soul appeared out of thin air, entwining towards Wu Dewang.

Wu Dewang didn't feel alarmed but rather smiled, "A mere Demon Soul trying to trap me?" The Treasure bowl in his hand flashed with black light, severing the Grass Vine Demon Soul.

Gu Sheng sighed in regret but had no intention of giving up. He took a deep breath, fully unleashing the power of his Ancient Sacred Body's physical form, "Golden Light Palm!"

In an instant, his palm became golden, radiating with powerful force. He struck fiercely towards Wu Dewang.

Wu Dewang's eyes showed a hint of surprise, evidently not expecting Gu Sheng to possess such a technique. He dared not be careless and also mobilized his power to meet the attack.
