Currently, Shi Sheng's Starry Sky Dantian contains a total of four Star Core.
They are the first, second, ninth, and fourth rounds, respectively.
As Shi Sheng approached the summit of Star Stone Mountain, the third position in his Starry Sky Dantian began to tremble, seemingly resonating with the Star Core on Star Stone Mountain!
Within the Starry Sky Dantian, the Guardian Spirit and the Star God Emperor appeared simultaneously.
The guardian spirit sighed, "This should be the third Star Core, but why is it here?"
The Star God Emperor shook his head and said, "I don't know, but judging from this aura, this third Star Core is much stronger than the one inside me back then. It's probably due to absorbing the incredibly pure Power of the Stars from this Star Stone Mountain over the years."
"No matter what, we must find a way to obtain this third Star Core. This will allow you to break through the Chaos Stars Record again, and your realm will likely see a significant improvement."
Shi Sheng nodded seriously.
Now, he is only a hundred meters away from the summit.
However, within this mere hundred meters, the density and intensity of the Power of the Stars far exceeded the combined Power of the Stars below!
Even trying to take a step forward felt like being pressed down by an extremely forceful suppressive power, making it difficult to lift one's thigh!
The Power of the Stars is essentially about suppression and sealing.
Upon arriving here, it was as if all the power within the body was rendered useless, as if the mortal body were being pressed down by a hundred-pound steel bar!
It felt like my whole body was about to explode.
Shi Sheng was trembling all over, but only his clear eyes showed determination.
For Shi Sheng...
He started from humble beginnings, endured many hardships, and worked his way up from an ordinary person to join a sect. Finally, through his unparalleled perseverance, he was accepted as a disciple by Lu Changsheng.
He achieved this through sheer willpower, despite his ordinary talent.
Even Shi Sheng himself thought so.
My talent is very poor, not as good as my senior brothers and sisters, nor as good as my Junior Brother Mu.
To catch up with them and keep pace with them, we must take one step at a time, seize every opportunity, and grit our teeth and persevere even if it is painful!
He had nothing but an iron will.
If he lacks even willpower, how can he live up to this hard-won fortuitous opportunity, and how can he live up to the high hopes his master has for him?
Therefore, he did not back down an inch.
Even if you can't lift it up the first time, or even if you lift your thigh dozens of times only to have it pressed down again, you must keep trying.
If once doesn't work, try ten times; if ten times doesn't work, try a hundred times; if a hundred times doesn't work, try ten thousand times!
There will be a day when you step onto it!
laugh!
Suddenly, Shi Sheng gritted his teeth and forced himself to take a step forward. Although he did take a step forward, the blood vessels in Shi Sheng thigh burst, and blood gushed out like small fountains through his skin.
Without pausing for a moment, they immediately switched to the other leg and continued moving upwards.
There are only ninety-nine steps left.
Shi Sheng walked for a full seventeen days!
When they reached the top of the mountain, Shi Sheng was covered in blood from head to toe, looking like a blood-soaked figure, which was extremely gruesome!
At the knees and ankles of both legs, white bone had pierced through the skin and was exposed!
This pain, which most people would find difficult to resist, was something Shi Sheng had endured through sheer willpower, persevering despite the increasingly intense suppression and his injuries, to reach this point.
In terms of willpower alone, probably no one in the entire Cottage can compare to Shi Sheng.
Even Xiao Hei won't do.
Xiao Hei relied on a ruthless spirit.
Shi Sheng relied on his mortal heart, which had nothing to begin with, but now that luck had come his way and given him this opportunity, he had to grit his teeth and seize it.
Born into this mortal world, inherently of humble origins, how can one fulfill their aspirations without striving?
How can they compare to those who possess exceptional talent?
Sometimes, Shi Sheng doesn't hate his birth.
But he would only hate himself if he didn't try.
Shi Sheng's unwavering will was also witnessed by the Guardian Spirit and the Star God Emperor, who were deeply moved by it.
"If this child doesn't die, he will surely have a place at the pinnacle of the Six Realms in the future." The Star God Emperor made no attempt to hide the admiration in his eyes and said loudly.
The guardian spirit didn't find it exaggerated; instead, it nodded in agreement.
"Alright, Shi Sheng, begin absorbing this Star Core. We will assist you within your Dantian!"
Shi Sheng nodded, his droopy eyelids suddenly opened, and he reached out with both hands to touch the Star Core!
Instantly, boundless Power of the Stars began to surge into Shi Sheng's body!
At this moment, the Starry Sky Dantian also materialized and was released above the Star Stone Mountain!
Endless Power of the Stars began to emanate from the Star Stone Mountain!
Everyone looked up in shock at what they saw.
Has someone reached the summit of Star Stone Mountain?
This powerful aura quickly attracted the attention of the inner elders of the academy, and even the First Elder and Second Elder appeared here.
When the Second Elder saw that the first place on the ranking stone tablet was inscribed with the Shi Sheng, followed closely by the words "Mountain Top", his face immediately darkened.
It's those special admissions students again!
The Grand Elder smiled.
Soon, two elderly men arrived together.
Upon seeing this, the First Elder, the Second Elder, and the other elders all bowed slightly to the two old men and said, "Vice Dean."
The visitors were none other than the two vice deans!
Vice Dean Liu smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Elder, you don't need to bow. Soon you will be one of us."
Upon hearing this, the Second Elder's face darkened so much that it seemed as if water was about to drip from it.
It seems that it has been decided that the Grand Elder will fill the position of Vice Dean.
Another Vice Dean Zhang, nodded with a smile, "So, it seems you specially recruited him to climb Star Stone Mountain? You have good judgment."
Clearly, Shi Sheng and others played a crucial role in the Grand Elder's ascension to the position of Vice Dean.
The Grand Elder did not take credit, but humbly said, "They are my disciple's friends, and were introduced to me by that brat Tan Zongzhao."
"Hahaha, but that takes real guts to recruit them!" Vice Dean Liu patted the Grand Elder on the shoulder and said, "Don't be modest, you did a great job!"
"Alright, let's see what kind of divine object is on this Star Stone Mountain."
In the sky, the starry sky gradually expanded, the starlight twinkled, and four dazzling stars hung high above, radiating the aura of Power of the Stars!
Meanwhile, the fifth star, nestled among these stars, began to gradually take shape, slowly revealing its outline...
