Chapter 282

Even those monsters that had broken through to the early stage of Essence Refining were already nearing the mid-stage of Essence Refining.

The Shushan world was the true holy land of cultivation.

Ningguang and the other two flew on their swords across the sky, took out their disciple tokens, and performed hand seals together.

The disciple tokens shot out a mysterious light, gathering at a point in the void.

Gradually, everyone saw a huge, incomparably large void slowly emerge.

Through that void, they could see a world shrouded in clouds and mist, with rich spiritual energy pouring out, sweeping across the sky of Jueyun Karst.

These people being carried by the cloud swords felt refreshed.

After an unknown amount of time, the portal stabilized. Ningguang looked at it for a moment, then turned back to look at the crowd.

She said slowly:

"Follow me inside."

Having said that, the three took the lead in passing through the portal, and the assessment candidates who followed behind were also transported into the Shushan world by the cloud swords.

When the last person entered, the Shushan portal closed quietly, and Jueyun Karst returned to being a forbidden zone of life where only beasts were active.

And this time, the overflowing spiritual energy instantly catalyzed many more Foundation Establishment peak-stage beasts.

Jueyun Karst became even more dangerous.

Inside Shushan.

Over 1. million people landed in front of the Shushan gate.

With so many people squeezed onto a cliff, they didn't feel crowded at all; instead, it felt somewhat spacious.

However, no one noticed this at the moment; everyone was just staring blankly at everything in front of them.

Clouds and seas churned, and countless immortal cranes wove through them.

Directly opposite was a tall, white jade-like gate with the characters "Shushan" written on it.

In the distant sky, seven peaks reaching the sky stood tall into the clouds; even though they were already at a high location,

they could only see the waist of the mountains.

These were seven pillars supporting the sky.

This world was filled with a magnificent and towering atmosphere everywhere.

Ningguang and the other two turned back, a smile appearing on their faces, and their eyes couldn't help but show some pride.

A moment later, Ningguang spoke slowly:

"Welcome, everyone, to the holy land of cultivation, Shushan."

"Next, you will face your own tests here."

"Whether you become a cultivator who lives long and chases the stars and moon, or leave in sorrow, waiting for the next gate-opening that is far off in the future,"

"everything depends on yourselves."

175. Hu Tao: Zhongli, you thick-browed guy, you've become a Peak Master?

Stepping into Shushan for the first time, most people were very nervous, not daring to look around, and could only use their peripheral vision to constantly observe the surroundings.

After all, this was a legendary cultivation sect, and the Sect Leader was someone who was only one step away from reaching the ultimate of humanity.

Their every move was under the observation of the people of Shushan.

Who knows, maybe there were eyes watching them right now.

More likely, the assessment had already begun.

What if they made some out-of-line move that caused this assessment to fail completely?

Having made it this far, they didn't want to stop here.

And...

Not only did they have to guard against sudden tests, but they also had to guard against the people around them.

These were all competitors.

Thinking this, when many people looked at those around them, their eyes already held a bit of vigilance.

However, these were all their psychological activities; in common terms, they were just being dramatic.

Jiang Yan didn't have the time to keep staring at them; they weren't Shushan disciples yet, and he had no interest in most of the people here.

Furina didn't know if she had thought of this, but she was much more relaxed and casual.

Standing on tiptoe, grabbing Clorinde's arm, she looked around excitedly.

"Clorinde! Look! It's so big, so magical! The scenery is so beautiful!"

Clorinde was a bit embarrassed and lowered her voice:

"Ms. Furina, this is Shushan after all; let's be a bit more steady."

"What's there to be afraid of! We haven't joined Shushan yet; those big shots in Shushan don't have that much free time to stare at us."

Furina took a deep breath and said with a grin:

"Quick! Clorinde, breathe in more air; the spiritual energy here is richer. Just breathing makes me feel stronger."

Looking at the lively Furina, Clorinde was a bit embarrassed, but still subconsciously increased her breathing frequency.

No choice, such rich spiritual energy was just too fragrant.

Ningguang and the others also noticed Furina; after all, with so many people whispering, only she was being so carefree.

However, seeing Furina, Ningguang was a bit surprised.

"The Hydro Archon?"

"She's the Hydro Archon? She came personally?"

Keqing glanced at Furina and was a bit puzzled.

Ningguang nodded slightly and transmitted her voice to Keqing.

"During the previous assessment, Yelan sent me a message saying that the Hydro Archon came to participate in the assessment, not directly finding us to join Shushan."

"At the time, I thought it was very strange, but..."

Ningguang looked at Furina again.

The Hydro Archon...

Is an ordinary person?

No!

Should I say, an ordinary person with a Vision?

What kind of operation is this?

Could it be that Fontaine's Hydro Archon also dispersed her power like the Tsaritsa?

But even if she dispersed her power, it shouldn't be to the point of having no divine power at all, right?

Strange...

"You guys noticed it too, right?"

Keqing asked via voice transmission.

"Hmm... she's at most equivalent to an early-stage Essence Refining Vision wielder."

Ganyu looked at Furina with doubt.

"Forget it, maybe she has her own secrets. We don't need to think too much. For now, the most important thing is the gate-opening ceremony."

Ningguang didn't intend to continue focusing on Furina and nodded at Ganyu.

Ganyu didn't delay either, calling out to Qingluan in her heart. Not long after, a green light streaked across the sky.

After landing, it turned into a cute little girl with twin ponytails.

However, the trace of aura that leaked out occasionally still made many people feel lingering fear.

That was countless times more terrifying than those beasts, and even in Childe's eyes, this little girl surpassed the Cryo Archon.

Not far away, Furina, who had been full of curiosity, also fell silent.

This little girl gave her a feeling stronger than Neuvillette.

Furina racked her brains but couldn't remember such an existence in Teyvat.

Qingluan looked at the millions of people and then happily hugged Ganyu.

"Sister Ganyu, are you looking for Qingluan?"

Ganyu dotingly pinched Qingluan's cheeks.

"It's hard work for you to take these people to the seven peaks."

Qingluan's little face wrinkled, somewhat reluctant:
