Shi Sheng's resilience exceeded all expectations.
On this day.
The agonizing roars of Shi Sheng could be heard from within the Heaven-Suppressing Pagoda.
The roaring sound will grow weaker and weaker.
However, no one called for help.
Even the four remnant souls of the Human Ancestor inside the tower were quite surprised.
"This level of pain has probably exceeded the limits of his physical body and cultivation level, hasn't it?"
"It has long surpassed that."
"Moreover, it's not just about pain; it also involves enduring the danger of having one's mind possessed by demonic energy and one's soul stolen. This kid is not bad."
To be praised so highly by the Human Ancestor.
It doesn't even exceed one hand's worth.
At their level of understanding and experience, they mean what they say and won't offer insincere praise based on personal relationships.
Because it's no longer necessary.
now.
Inside Shi Sheng's body.
His limbs and bones had been completely corrupted by the evil energy.
Only the soul and the Starry Sky Dantian can barely resist.
However, it can be corrupted by the evil energy.
Shi Sheng couldn't help but harbor evil thoughts!
Why cultivate Daoism?
What is the purpose of cultivating Daoism?
In Shi Sheng's heart, he wanted to protect his parents and enable them, as ordinary people, to Changsheng.
This thought was gradually corrupted by demonic energy.
What is Changsheng?
Why pursue Changsheng?
Why not just achieve Changsheng?
Why embark on a path that is a thousand times, ten thousand times more arduous than achieving Changsheng?
Amidst the roar, Shi Sheng's once clear eyes were slowly being eroded by the black demonic energy...
I witnessed this scene.
The four remnant souls of the Human Ancestor all frowned.
"It seems... it still won't work..."
"There's just too much demonic energy... If this continues, I'm afraid I'll be swallowed up by evil thoughts and become a member of the Evil Devil Domain."
"Should we forcibly pull it out?"
"Let's see..."
Outside the Heaven-Suppressing Pagoda.
Lu Changsheng used his Eye of Heaven Scrutiny to observe the situation of Shi Sheng inside the Heaven-Suppressing Pagoda.
When Lu Changsheng discovered this scene, he also considered forcibly pulling it out.
However, when one looked into Shi Sheng's eyes, although the demonic energy had already eroded half of his pupil, whenever it tried to erode it again, an invisible force was constantly resisting it.
Seeing this, Lu Changsheng stopped himself from rescuing Shi Sheng.
perhaps.
If Shi Sheng can get through this on his own.
After surviving this ordeal, Shi Sheng will undergo another transformation...
Changsheng?
Stop joking. The cultivation world is a dog-eat-dog world. Protect yourself first. How can you talk about reaching the peak if you get caught up in such meaningless things?
A small figure, tainted by black energy, spoke these words in Shi Sheng's sea of consciousness.
Shi Sheng looked at the villain with a gloomy expression and said, "This is my goal in pursuing cultivation. If you forget your original intention, what are you talking about in cultivating?"
The filthy villain sneered, "Just look at those who stand at the pinnacle, like these few Human Ancestor. Which one of them didn't grow up amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood?"
The birth of a top-tier expert always involves climbing over the fortunes and lives of countless others.
"At their level, which one of them has any attachments? Only by being free of all attachments can one reach the very pinnacle."
A struggle was evident in Shi Sheng's eyes.
At that very moment, the demonic energy began to erode the area once more.
"But... if you reach the peak but have no family or friends by your side, wouldn't you feel a little lonely?"
Upon hearing this...
The filthy villain sneered, "The path to the peak is inherently lonely. Besides, once you reach the peak, what can't you have?"
"Come on, don't hesitate any longer. Break free from the shackles of traditional thinking and join us. With your potential and talent, you will reach the pinnacle and possess everything."
Reaching the pinnacle?
Possess... everything?
Shi Sheng repeated these words to himself.
The confusion in his eyes grew even stronger.
It seemed that this scene was slowly emerging in Shi Sheng's mind.
A person standing atop a mountain is invincible; even the cycle of Heavenly Dao cannot take their life.
Seeing this, the filthy villain curled his lips into a sinister grin.
"That's right. With such amazing talent, and our help, what won't be within your grasp? Why would you need to care about anyone else?"
Shi Sheng raised his head with a dazed look in his eyes. He seemed to have forgotten the endless pain in his body.
The roars ceased; it stared blankly, lifeless, ahead.
The four Human Ancestor felt a sense of foreboding as they witnessed this scene.
"Get ready to make your move."
"Yes, if this continues, I'm afraid it will be too late to salvage the situation."
"Alas, it's a pity. If he could withstand this hurdle, this boy would surely surpass us."
"Perhaps even we at his level back then couldn't have done that."
But.
Just as they were thinking that...
Shi Sheng's bewildered eyes seemed to flicker.
In his mind.
Having reached the pinnacle, he looked around in bewilderment.
An unprecedented sense of loneliness and sorrow swept over me.
My parents have passed away due to old age and illness.
Master, fellow disciples and senior disciples of the Cottage.
They are no longer by his side.
Looking down, all I saw were mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
Is this really what I want?
Shi Sheng's eyes flickered, and his lifeless eyes seemed to gleam with light at that moment!
Seeing this scene...
The filthy man's expression changed drastically.
Shi Sheng's eyes became increasingly clear!
yes.
My initial motivation for embarking on this path was simply to allow my parents to stay by my side longer.
Isn't it precisely to prevent them from being affected by the rules of the cycle of reincarnation?
If we forget our original aspirations.
If this is how you reach the top.
What's the point of reaching such a peak?
Shi Sheng didn't want this kind of peak.
If you reach the summit but are left alone, what's the point of climbing it?
What use is such Changsheng?
At that point, it will only be a fate worse than death, right?
That's what I've been thinking about.
Shi Sheng was no longer confused; the darkness in his heart seemed to have been dispelled at that moment!
Within the Starry Sky Dantian, endless starlight began to scatter and bloom!
The horn of counterattack was sounded, forcing out all the evil energy!
Seeing this scene...
The remnant souls of the four Human Ancestor all revealed benevolent smiles.
"This kid is something else, really something else!"
"Their future achievements will surely surpass those of us old folks."
"Hehe, from now on, nothing will be able to shake this little guy's resolve."
A Daoist mind is the foundation of Daoist cultivation.
Without a foundation, how can a towering building be constructed?
Outside the tower.
Lu Changsheng took all of this into his view.
He couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"That brat... he truly lives up to his reputation as my disciple."
