I See the Aura of the Great Emperor in All My Disciples

Chapter 1353: Chapter 1353: The Third Core of the Star! (2/3) Chapter 1353: Chapter 1353: The Third Core of the Star! (2/3) By now, Shi Sheng’s Starry Sky Dantian contained a total of four cores of the star.

They were the first, second, ninth, and the fourth respectively.

As Shi Sheng approached the top of the Star Stone Mountain, the third position in the Starry Sky Dantian began to tremble. It seemed to be responding to the core of the star on the Star Stone Mountain!

In the Starry Sky Dantian, the guardian spirit and the Star Divine God appeared simultaneously.

The guardian spirit remarked, “This must be the third core of the star, but why is it here?”

The Star Divine God shook his head, “I don’t know, but feeling this aura, this third core of the star seems much stronger than the one I had in my body. It must be due to the years of absorbing the exceptionally pure star power from within this Star Stone Mountain.”

“Regardless, we must find a way to obtain this third core of the star. This could also allow your Chaotic Star Record to break through again, and your realm might see a great enhancement.”

Shi Sheng nodded earnestly.

Now, he was merely a hundred meters away from the peak of the mountain.

Yet, these hundred meters felt immensely denser with star power than all the star power below combined!

To take a step forward, he felt an extraordinarily compelling suppressive power weighing down on him, making it difficult to lift his thighs!

Star power, by nature, is about suppression and sealing.

Here, all the powers in his body seemed immobilized, as if a hundred-pound steel bar was pressing down on his mortal flesh!

His entire body felt like it was about to explode from the pressure.

Shi Sheng’s whole body trembled, but those eyes remained clear and resolute.

For Shi Sheng,

he had started from the bottom. He had suffered a lot and had desperately joined a sect as a Mortal before his unmatched perseverance eventually led Lu Changsheng to accept him as a disciple.

From a mere Mortal’s talent, he had hard-fought his way up to this point.

Even Shi Sheng himself believed

that his talent was inferior to his Senior Brother and Second Senior Sister, and even to Junior Brother Mu.

To catch up to them, to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with them, he must take it one step at a time, seizing every opportunity, enduring the pain, and clenching his teeth to get through it!

He had nothing but an iron-willed determination.

Without that determination, how could he be worthy of this hard-earned opportunity, and how could he live up to his master who had high hopes for him?

So, he did not retreat a single step.

Even if he couldn’t lift his leg once, or even tens of times, he would keep trying.

If not once, then ten times; if not ten times, then a hundred times; if not a hundred times, then ten thousand times!

He would eventually make it up there!

Hisss!

Suddenly, Shi Sheng clenched his teeth and forced a step forward. Although he moved upward, his thigh’s veins burst open, and blood gushed out like tiny fountains piercing through the skin.

Without any pause, he immediately switched legs and continued climbing upward.

Only ninety-nine steps left.

It took Shi Sheng seventeen days!

By the time he reached the mountaintop, his body was covered in blood, looking like a bloody man, utterly ghastly!

His knees and ankles were showing white bones breaking through the skin!

This kind of pain, unbearable for ordinary people, Shi Sheng persevered with sheer willpower under such injuries, resisting the ever-intensifying suppressive force to make it here.

In terms of willpower alone, perhaps no one in The Cottage could compare to Shi Sheng.

Even Blackie couldn’t manage it.

Blackie relied on a fierce determination.

But Shi Sheng relied on the heart of a Mortal who originally had nothing and now, with luck arriving, had to clench his teeth and seize the opportunity.

Born into the mortal world from humble beginnings, how could he fulfill his deep-seated wishes without effort?

And how could he compare to those who were born with exceptional talent?

Sometimes, Shi Sheng did not resent his own origins.

But if he did not endeavor, he would hate himself for it.

Shi Sheng’s tenacious will also caught the eye of the guardian spirit and the Star Divine God Realm, deeply moving both of them.

“If this child does not fall, in the days to come, at the pinnacle of the six worlds, there must be a place for him,” the Star Divine God proclaimed, not hiding the admiration in his eyes.

The guardian spirit did not think it an exaggeration and nodded in agreement.

“Alright, Shi Sheng, begin to absorb this core of the star, we will assist you within your Dantian!”

Shi Sheng nodded, his drooping eyelids suddenly opened, and his hands reached out to touch the core of the star!

Instantly, endless star power began to surge into Shi Sheng’s body!

At that moment, the Starry Sky Dantian also materialized, releasing into the sky above Star Stone Mountain!

Endless star power began to drift out from Star Stone Mountain!

Everyone raised their heads in astonishment at the scene.

Is this … someone reaching the summit of Star Stone Mountain?

This powerful aura quickly attracted the attention of the elders from the inner courtyard; even the First Elder and the Second Elder appeared at the site.

When the Second Elder saw that the name Shi Sheng was inscribed in the first place on the ranking stone tablet followed by the words “Mountain Summit,” his face immediately darkened.

It was that group of special admission students again!

The First Elder, however, revealed a smile.

Soon, two old men arrived together.

Seeing them, the First Elder, the Second Elder, and the other elders slightly bowed and said, “Vice Presidents.”

The newcomers were indeed two Vice Presidents!

Vice President Liu waved his hand with a smile, “First Elder, there’s no need for you to bow, you will soon become one of us.”

Hearing this, the Second Elder’s face turned as dark as if it were about to drip water.

It seemed, the appointment of the First Elder to fill the position of Vice President was confirmed.

The other Vice President Zhang also smiled and nodded, “The one who reached the summit of Star Stone Mountain is also one of your special recruits, right? Good eye.”

Clearly, the performance of Shi Sheng and the others was instrumental in the First Elder being elevated to the position of Vice President.

The First Elder did not take credit but humbly said, “They are friends of my disciple, and it was that lad Tan Zongzhao who introduced them to me.”

“Hahahaha, but it was also your boldness to specially admit them!” Vice President Liu clapped the First Elder on the shoulder, “Don’t be modest, you’ve done very well!”

“Alright, let’s see what this divine item atop Star Stone Mountain is all about.”

In the sky, that swath of stars gradually spread, twinkling brightly, hanging four dazzling stars, emitting an endless aura of star power!

And then, the fifth star, nestled among these stars, began to gradually take shape, slowly forming an outline …
