Stars enter the body

Su Ming felt his consciousness being pulled into a void.

Then, this pitch-black void was illuminated by intense starlight.

This feeling was exactly the same as when he first sensed Star Power.

But unlike that time, Su Ming was not burned by the starlight.

This was because the one facing all of this now was not just a single Su Ming.

Su Ming could see countless versions of himself surrounding him, helping him share and comprehend the experience.

As the core in the center, all the bitter cultivation of the other Su Mings was fed back to him.

The stars in the void fell toward the countless Su Mings, then precisely entered the star map within Su Ming's body, radiating light and heat.

Admittedly, Su Ming had only cultivated the Heavenly Stars Diagram of the Cosmos to the point where it could accommodate over seven hundred stars.

But now, there were countless versions of him, countless Su Mings sharing the burden of the stars.

As time passed, the number of stars in the void above continued to decrease until they finally dissipated.

At the same time, Su Ming could clearly feel Star Power continuously spreading outward from the star map in his body until it completely converted the spirit energy within him into Star Power.

Su Ming gradually became immersed in this feeling, slowly forgetting time, with only one thing in his mind—to Cultivate.

By the time he regained his senses, his consciousness had already returned to his own body.

Su Ming instinctively performed an internal inspection of the star map in his body, wanting to see to what extent he had cultivated the Heavenly Stars Diagram of the Cosmos through the 'technique deduction scroll'.

After looking, Su Ming himself was startled by the result.

The originally pitch-black star map was now as bright as day, filled with countless rays of light.

Looking closely, he realized that beneath these rays of light were countless stars as tiny as dust, constantly flickering.

At this moment, the Star Power within his body seemed infinite.

Faced with such a result, Su Ming thought of a certain possibility and hurriedly opened the System panel to check his current status.

[Name]: Su Ming;

[Realm]: Peak Star Realm (capable of fighting the third layer of the Void Realm);

[Innate Divine Ability]: Supreme Chaos Body (First Layer), Innate Dao Bone (Fully Unsealed);

[Cultivation Technique]: Source Codex of Creation (Second Layer), Chaos Scripture (First Layer), Three Sages Scripture (Third Layer), Heavenly Stars Diagram of the Cosmos (Great Perfection, absorbed all stars);

[Items Held]: heavenly dao realm will*2, heavenly dao realm talisman*3, chaos spirit transformation bottle, battle spirit puppet, Heaven and Earth Carefree, Taichu, heaven-reaching pagoda, heaven-destroying whip;

[war pet]: Shen Ming (Reincarnation Dragon Centipede, Peak Star Realm);

[destiny points]: 624,000;

[supreme destiny points]: 210,000;

The result was just as he thought.

The Great Perfection of the Heavenly Stars Diagram of the Cosmos had finally allowed Su Ming to successfully realize his ambition.

[Due to the Host successfully cultivating the Heavenly Stars Diagram of the Cosmos to Great Perfection and successfully influencing your own destiny, you have gained 5,000 supreme destiny points.]

“In the Star Realm, I can normally fight those in the Void Realm... Once I step into the Void Realm, this transformation will become even more exaggerated.”

“The suffering I endured some time ago wasn't in vain to get this result.”

To ascend from the Nirvana Realm to the Peak Star Realm in an instant—one doesn't know how many people would be scared to death if this were told.

Not only that, but since his eyes recovered, Su Ming had never given up on absorbing 'chaos spirit liquid'.

By now, the Supreme Chaos Body was also close to a Breakthrough.

“The Supreme Chaos Body is also about to open to the second layer... When that time comes, I'll go to the Peerless Sword Cultivator's Secret Realm.”

Having planned everything out, Su Ming felt refreshed and intended to get up and leave the room.

After all, he had also made a deal with Su Yingluo that if she could step into the Longevity Realm within a month, he would give her a reward.

However, when Su Ming opened the door, he found that Su Yingluo was already standing there.

The Little Girl's proactive behavior took Su Ming somewhat by surprise.

“My efforts during this period haven't been in vain...”

While Su Ming was feeling emotional, Su Yingluo suddenly walked into the room and proactively closed the door.

“Yingluo, what are you trying to do?”

Faced with Su Ming's inquiry, Su Yingluo's face instantly turned as red as a cooked shrimp.

Just as Su Ming was confused, Su Yingluo untied the sash at her waist right in front of him.

Seeing this, Su Ming's pupils constricted, and he immediately stopped her from continuing.

If this continued, Su Ming firmly believed that something even more terrifying than supreme destiny might kill him.

Su Ming asked solemnly, “Yingluo, tell me clearly, what exactly do you plan to do?”

“Didn't you say you would give me a reward, Master?” Su Yingluo blushed and looked straight at Su Ming.

Upon hearing the answer, Su Ming's vision went dark, realizing there was definitely a misunderstanding.

So, under his questioning, Su Ming finally got the answer.

This Little Girl had once peeked at the 'aerobic exercise' between someone from the Blood Sword Tower and a prostitute from a brothel.

At that time, those two had referred to the aerobic exercise as a ‘reward’.

With this preconceived notion, Su Yingluo also judged Su Ming's reward to be this kind of thing.

“That kind of thing is not a reward at all. Yingluo, I command you to forget about this and never mention it again in the future, understood?”

“Yes, Master.”

Looking into Su Yingluo's innocent eyes, Su Ming now wished he could grab someone from the Blood Sword Tower and dismember them on the spot.

What kind of mess was this?

Moreover, for a dignified Cultivator to be peeked at by a child while performing aerobic exercise was truly ridiculous.

“Yingluo, I'll ask you one more time, what kind of reward do you want?”

“I want...”

Su Yingluo couldn't give an answer for a moment. In her mind, there was only punishment for doing wrong, not such a thing as a reward for doing well.

After thinking for a long time, she finally gave an answer: “Master, I want the same reward as Lin Zhaodi.”

“This... alright.” Su Ming placed his hand on her head and ruffled her hair.

At least Su Yingluo had given some of her own thoughts, hadn't she?

However, given the current situation in Hang City, whether the Treasure Pavilion's merchant caravan would even come was a question.

Merchants prioritize profit, and in the current state of Hang City, they wouldn't be able to gain anything.

Thinking about how Lin Zhaodi was still looking forward to going to the Treasure Pavilion together, Su Ming felt a bit of a headache.

However, at this moment, Hu Xing suddenly sent someone to report.

The first matter was that the plan Su Ming had previously given was already being tested. The first batch had fifty people, thirty of whom met the requirements.

The second matter was about the Treasure Pavilion.

That merchant association actually maintained its original plan. Under the background of the Sword Pavilion clearly targeting Hang City, they were still coming to Hang City to hold an auction.

This immediately piqued Su Ming's interest.

He wanted to see just what the background of this Treasure Pavilion was, that they dared to hold an auction despite the pressure from the Sword Pavilion.
