Chapter 287

"From then on, if you cannot break free from this illusory illusion, you will fail..."

"The Heart-Asking Array is an array driven by human desire, striking directly at the most fragile side of humanity."

"If you cannot resist the temptation and do something against your bottom line in the illusion of the Heart-Asking Array..."

"You will immediately lose the opportunity for assessment and will never be accepted by Shushan."

"Just imagine, if in the Heart-Asking Array, you have the opportunity to realize your dreams, but you need to do something that violates your bottom line."

"If you do it, no one will find out."

"Would you do it?"

At this, everyone fell silent.

For a time, their gaze toward the Heart-Asking Array became increasingly complex.

This thing was not just a simple heart-asking at all.

It was going to directly check the direction of their entire lives!

The means of cultivators were truly too terrifying.

"This is too difficult!"

Furina looked at Baiwen with some madness.

"Are there any tricks?"

"No."

Baiwen smiled bitterly and spread her hands:

"If there were, would we still be standing here chatting? Even if I tell you everything about the Heart-Asking Array now, after you enter, you will forget everything."

"The Heart-Asking Array is the core place for Shushan to assess disciples and temper their state of mind; there is absolutely no chance for any tricks."

"Therefore, the only thing you can do is to pass by strength and willpower."

Beidou curled her lip and complained:

"It's fair enough, but... it's hard enough to pass three times; nine levels of the Heart-Asking Array, isn't that a bit much?"

Baiwen didn't speak and pointed to the huge stone tablet not far away.

The first name on it was Baizhu.

"Mr. Baizhu of Bubu Pharmacy, with an unprecedented heart for seeking the Dao, drove himself to successfully cross the nine levels of the Heart-Asking Array and join Shushan."

"The Sect Leader praised him highly for this. You must know, the Geo Archon... Peak Master Zhongli and Peak Master Venti and the others only walked through seven levels of heart-asking."

Furina widened her eyes in disbelief.

"There really is someone who can pass nine levels? What kind of monster is this!"

"So, everyone just relax; thinking more is useless."

Baiwen shook her head and said no more.

Everyone remained silent.

Even the extremely optimistic Childe felt a bit guilty at this moment.

If he were trapped in the Heart-Asking Array, experiencing a lifetime of endless battles, he couldn't guarantee he could break free.

He wasn't even sure if he would do something he shouldn't do to achieve his goal.

A person's life is too long, long enough for all possibilities to occur.

Now you are a good person, but who can guarantee that you will be a good person for a lifetime?

He had calculated everything but didn't calculate that Shushan's assessment would be so heavy.

Now, Childe could only constantly hypnotize himself to hold onto his bottom line and his Dao heart.

This kind of thing might not necessarily be useful, but at the very least, it could give him some psychological comfort.

"Speaking of which... the Sect Leader just now was really..."

Furina scratched her cheek and suddenly spoke.

"Be careful with your words."

Baiwen hurriedly turned back to stop her.

"Every blade of grass and tree in the Shushan world is under the Sect Leader's eyes. Do not speak recklessly about the Sect Leader; the rules of the Law Enforcement Hall are very strict."

Furina curled her lip and didn't say anything more.

She had infinite expectations for Jiang Yan.

With the strength he just displayed, wanting to solve the Fontaine crisis would be just a thought.

Furina herself wanted to make two preparations.

If she couldn't join Shushan, she would find a way to beg Jiang Yan to help.

It was just that, looking at the minds of Baiwen and the others, they were afraid to mention such a thing.

There was still some time now; if she couldn't talk about the most interesting Jiang Yan, she could talk about others.

Furina looked at the three people on the high platform with interest and shook her head.

The two Peak Masters and one elder were probably not people she could talk about either.

So, Furina said:

"Can you talk about those Shushan disciples?"

Hearing this, the people around also looked over curiously.

They were very curious about those Shushan disciples.

This was the first time they knew that Shushan already had so many people.

Baiwen thought for a while and felt there was nothing she couldn't say, so she said:

"What does Ms. Furina want to know?"

"Among the Shushan disciples, who is the strongest?"

Furina asked excitedly.

Baiwen was silent for a moment and said slowly:

"As for the strongest, I'm not sure. However, Lady Ganyu has reached the peak of Essence Refining, and her Sun-Shooting Technique is even more destructive."

"There is also the spirit beast Qingluan, who is in the early stage of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation, as a partner. Her comprehensive strength should be the strongest."

"If we only look at personal strength, the Yaksha, the current head disciple of Dragon Head Peak, Xiao, is also at the peak of Essence Refining."

"Who is stronger and who is weaker is not clear; just see who can break through to Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation first, and that one will be the strongest."

Furina looked at Ganyu and Xiao thoughtfully.

The strength of these two indeed gave her a feeling of being very terrifying.

They wouldn't be weaker than Neuvillette.

Qingluan was still a spirit beast in the early stage of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation. Thinking about it this way...

Perhaps if she could build a good relationship with Ganyu, and Ganyu was willing to take action, Fontaine's problems could be solved.

Although she had the heart to cultivate and solve the problem herself, the time required was too long.

Fontaine couldn't wait.

"Then what, then what?"

Hu Tao became interested and urged Baiwen.

178. Furina First Hears of the Seven Branches of Shushan

"Next, there are the True Monarch Cloud Retainer and True Monarch Song of Dust and Worldly Travelers, who are in the late stage of Refining Essence into Qi."

"By the way, if you join Shushan, you must never address them as Immortals or True Monarchs within the sect."

"Cultivators have a very strict attitude toward the concept of Immortals; if you address them that way, True Monarch Cloud Retainer and the others might not be pleased."

"If you join Shushan, you should address them as Senior Brother or Senior Sister."

Hearing this, everyone nodded in understanding, committing it to memory.

"After that, there are Lady Ningguang, Lady Keqing, Mr. Baizhu, Miss Lisa, Miss Shenhe, and others, who are in the middle stage of Refining Essence into Qi."

"Mr. Baizhu's combat strength is not high, but he is currently the disciple most skilled in alchemy at Bamboo Peak."

"Therefore, Lady Ningguang and the others treat Mr. Baizhu with great courtesy; after all, alchemists are truly..."

Baiwen did not finish her sentence, but everyone present had read cultivation novels and naturally understood what kind of existence an alchemist was.

That was the most sought-after heterodox path in the cultivation world.

"Among the cultivators in the middle stage of Refining Essence into Qi, Miss Lumine and Miss Klee are the strongest."

"Both of them possess legendary divine bodies: the Glazed Sword Heart and the Red Emperor Burning Heaven Body."
