Chapter 289

Hu Tao frowned with some resistance, but didn't say anything.

"Truly bizarre..."

Childe sighed and added:

"What about the others?"

"Feng Hui Peak is good at refining tools. True Monarch Cloud Retainer and True Monarch Mountain Shaper are both experts at refining tools, and have even refined high-tier dharma artifacts."

"Chaoyang Peak is good at arrays, and the acting Peak Master is the Anemo Archon of Mondstadt, Lord Venti."

"Luoxia Peak is good at beast taming, and the head disciple, True Monarch Baisheng, controls over a dozen early-stage Essence Refining monsters."

"But Luoxia Peak has the fewest people; currently, there is only True Monarch Baisheng."

"The above four peaks represent the four major side paths of Shushan."

Hearing this, Childe was enlightened and added:

"So, they are not good at fighting?"

"Not good at fighting?"

Baiwen laughed softly.

"Ms. Lisa's karmic fire easily burns the souls of Archons; True Monarch Cloud Retainer and True Monarch Mountain Shaper's combined Yin-Yang Five-Thunder force can kill even top-tier Archons."

"True Monarch Moon Carver's Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Heavenly Star Array can suppress a nation once it falls."

"Even True Monarch Baisheng, by manipulating monsters, can easily create a beast tide."

"The seven peaks of Shushan have no one who is not good at fighting."

"It's just that relatively speaking, each has its own strengths."

Everyone listened with yearning, their hearts filled with admiration for the various powerful and mysterious aspects of cultivating immortality, wishing they could join Shushan immediately and become a member of the cultivators.

"But when it comes to the strongest combat power, Tongtian Peak, Dragon Head Peak, and Xiaozhu Peak are indeed the strongest."

Baiwen suddenly changed the subject and said with yearning:

"Ms. Shenhe, the head disciple of Xiaozhu Peak, possesses the Prime Yin Body and has mastered the Seven Killings of Gods and Ghosts."

"Once the God-Killing Order is issued, all ghosts and gods fear it. She once fought a top-tier Archon who hadn't cultivated immortality with the cultivation of the mid-stage of Essence Refining."

"Within ten moves, the opponent was nearly killed."

"Ms. Shenhe is the next Xiaozhu Peak Master designated by the Sect Leader."

"Lady Ningguang has the Tongtian Talisman in her hand, and in an instant, talismans fall like rain, with ten thousand thunders pouring down."

"Even Barbara, who joined not long ago, practices very powerful techniques, and her combat power is no different."

"Xiaozhu Peak is dominated by female cultivators, but its strength should not be underestimated."

"Dragon Head Peak is even more so. The Yaksha is at the peak of Essence Refining, and the Geo Archon is a Golden Immortal War God of the Immortal Realm Heavenly Court."

"Xiaozhu Peak and Dragon Head Peak are the two major factions that Shushan mainly relies on for external conquest."

"Full of martial virtue, with strength as the priority."

Everyone listened as if they had seen some magical, magnificent, and grand story, and it would be even more comfortable if they had some melon seeds and peanuts.

"What about Tongtian Peak?"

Furina asked curiously again.

Baiwen was silent for a moment and said gloomily:

"Although the other seven peaks have their own abilities and are powerful, if we talk about the strongest, Tongtian Peak is recognized as the strongest."

"Only because... Tongtian Peak is the location of the sect hall, the core of Shushan, and the highest power institution."

"Tongtian Peak is controlled by the Sect Leader himself."

"Below him are Ganyu, who is at the peak of Essence Refining, and Keqing, who possesses a sword body."

"Qiqi, who possesses an unactivated special physique."

"And the only three divine bodies of Shushan are also at the end of Tongtian Peak."

"You only need to know that Shushan is also known as the Shushan Sword Sect, and Shushan values the sword above all else. The techniques that are famous in the world are also mostly sword-based."

"Tongtian Peak represents the gathering place of the strongest sword cultivators in Shushan."

"In the same realm, Tongtian Peak disciples can almost be called invincible among their peers."

"Tongtian Peak is the core of Shushan and is not responsible for external conquest and expansion, but Tongtian Peak is the last and strongest trump card of Shushan."

"However, as far as the current situation is concerned, the disciples of the seven peaks are about the same. The strength of Tongtian Peak is only because on Tongtian Peak,"

"there is the Dinghai Divine Needle of Shushan, the Sect Leader who is at the peak of Spirit Returning to Void."

"With the Sect Leader, Shushan has no worries."

179. Furina: If I don't join Shushan, I won't return to Fontaine!

Everyone fell silent for a moment. Beidou moved her wrists, looked at the incense that didn't have much left, and laughed:

"It's truly exciting. I wonder which peak I will be assigned to."

"Captain Beidou is quite confident."

Baiwen smiled and teased.

"That's natural! If I didn't even have this confidence, I might as well go home early."

Beidou looked at the Heart-Asking Array not far away with full confidence.

"Tsk... cultivating immortality is much better than simple elemental power; it's truly exciting."

Childe looked at the Heart-Asking Array excitedly. After hearing about the situation of the seven peaks of Shushan, Childe now had no hesitation in his heart.

So what if there are endless battles in Teyvat?

It's ultimately a fight of frogs at the bottom of a well, a comparison of simple elemental power.

True experts have all cultivated immortality.

Endless battles on the path of cultivation, that is true happiness.

"Cultivating immortality is indeed beautiful, but there are also many dangers."

Uncle Tian explained with a smile.

"I heard from Ningguang that although this world was created by the Sect Leader and can all be called Shushan,"

"in a true sense, only the area of the seven peaks of Shushan can be called the Shushan sect."

"Other places are all outer areas."

"Monsters and beasts are everywhere in the outer areas, full of crises; without cultivating immortality, it is absolutely impossible to roam."

"Besides that, there is a former Nine Nether small world above Shushan."

"In the past, it was cut off by the Geo Archon's master, the Wine Sword Immortal, and sealed as a secret realm for disciples to temper themselves."

"Last time, the Geo Archon and the others went to explore the Nine Nether secret realm, and even though they had already started cultivating immortality, they still returned heavily injured."

"In the Nine Nether secret realm, Essence Refining cultivators are just the bottom tier, and Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation monsters are everywhere."

"There are even many monster kings at the peak of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation."

"In the Nine Nether secret realm, there is also the saying of the Seven Kings of Nine Nether, referring to the seven most powerful monster kings in the Nine Nether secret realm."

"Not only is their strength under their command strong, but their own strength even surpasses ordinary peak-stage Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation cultivators."

"The Geo Archon and the Anemo Archon and the others only encountered the generals under the Seven Kings of Nine Nether, and they were heavily injured."

"According to Ningguang and the others, they saw the battle between two of the Seven Kings with their own eyes; they hadn't even exerted their full strength, and the sky had already collapsed and the earth had cracked, destroying an area of over ten thousand miles."

"If it appeared in Teyvat, I'm afraid the seven nations combined wouldn't be able to stop it."

"However, the Nine Nether secret realm is currently restless, and Ningguang and the others have also been forbidden by the Sect Leader from entering the Nine Nether secret realm."

"Although the danger is great, there are many opportunities, and they also obtained a massive amount of contribution points after exploring the Nine Nether secret realm."

Hearing this, everyone nodded thoughtfully.

Childe firmly remembered the Nine Nether in his heart.

Here, he truly felt what it meant to have a mountain higher than a mountain.

The strength he was once proud of was likely weaker than the weakest person in Shushan.

If he were put into the Nine Nether secret realm, he wouldn't even count as cannon fodder.

But the more this was the case, the more Childe felt excited.

The goal of climbing infinitely upward was already there.

Next, he had to pass the test and join Shushan.

Step into the Nine Nether secret realm.

Sooner or later, he could fight the so-called powerful Seven Kings of Nine Nether.
