"Passed... passed?"

918. Hua: Finally going to see the Shushan Sect Leader

"Nine-Fold Heart Inquiry, passed so simply?"

A citizen of the Star Rail universe who had just failed in the first layer patted his face unbelievably.

"So easy?"

The person on the side patted his shoulder.

"The gap between people is even bigger than the gap between people and dogs; accept reality."

"Anyway, you can stay in Shushan as a martial artist now, which is not bad."

Hearing this, the man sighed.

"That may be so, but... in these heavens and myriad worlds, cultivation is the only way out after all."

At this, everyone around fell silent; to be honest, envying Clara and the others made no sense.

When they crossed the sixth layer, they were destined not to be existences that ordinary people could touch.

Instead of looking at Clara, it is better to look at those who walked through one layer, or even three layers; that is the direction of their efforts.

Although cultivators have always said that my life is up to me and not the heavens, but in fact...

Many things are indeed destined from the beginning.

As more and more little girls walked out of the nine layers, Hua and the others opened their eyes, panting and looking at the confused little girls in front of them.

They also understood that the last few tests of the Heart Inquiry Array were more difficult for adults like them, because whether they admitted it or not.

The reality that must be accepted is...

The adult world is always more complicated.

Shaking her head, Hua collected her thoughts; although she was a little emotional, this did not affect her too much.

Looking up, Fu Hua was looking at her with full concern.

Suddenly, Hua felt a warmth in her heart and burst out with infinite motivation.

She absolutely would not allow herself to lose face in front of Fu Hua!

Gritting her teeth, she took another step forward.

The Heart Inquiry Array continued, and slowly, as time passed, more and more people were eliminated by the Heart Inquiry Array.

But continuing to now, the people eliminated were at least at the level of passing one layer.

They had already obtained the status of Outer Sect disciples.

And when the last Aventurine walked out of the Nine-Fold Heart Inquiry, the Heart Inquiry Array, which had lasted for nearly a day, finally ended.

After screening, the final result made Zhongli and the others, who were prepared, click their tongues secretly.

There were actually more than twenty people who successfully passed the Nine-Fold Heart Inquiry.

This achievement, looking at the past and future of Shushan, might not appear again.

Jiang Yan in the void smiled and returned to the Sect Hall in an instant.

Next, it was the final thing.

After dealing with this Mountain Opening Ceremony, I don't know if the system can wake up...

Seeking flowers

With no movement from the system for so long, Jiang Yan almost forgot that he still had a system.

As his cultivation level got higher and higher, Jiang Yan became more and more unable to figure out the origin of the system.

In the heavens and myriad worlds where cultivation is respected, the origin of the system is very wonderful...

In front of the Heart Inquiry Array.

The people who passed the Heart Inquiry Array lined up neatly.

Zhongli and other Elders landed slowly and said softly:

"Congratulations on officially joining Shushan; let's cut the small talk, the Sect Leader is still waiting."

"Above one layer and below three layers, follow the Outer Sect Elder to leave; the Outer Sect Elder will tell you the next things."

"Above three layers and below six layers, you are Inner Sect disciples; follow the Inner Sect Elder to leave; the relevant matters of Shushan will be arranged by the Elders, and the Seven Veins will also conduct a second selection based on your specialties and talents."

"Rest assured, there is no elimination in this selection, you will just be divided into the various departments of the Seven Veins."

"Finally, those who passed above six layers, and even the Nine-Fold Heart Inquiry, follow me."

Zhongli looked at Clara, Hua, and the others, and his tone softened.

"Next, the Sect Leader will summon you personally; I hope you will be cautious in your words and deeds and not behave improperly in front of the Sect Leader."

919. Dan Heng: I saw the Azure Dragon

Led by Zhongli and the others, they flew towards the highest Tongtian Peak, the peak of the Seven Veins of Shushan.

Although Hua, Jing Yuan, and others had been here last time, coming again this time, carrying a different state of mind, they would naturally have different feelings.

The beautiful scenery passed by in a hurry, and almost instantly, the distance flown was comparable to the span of a galaxy in the Star Rail universe.

Thus, it can be seen how big Shushan is, which is a fierce attack on the geocentric theory firmly believed in the Star Rail universe.

Gradually, after flying halfway, the scenery below became more and more beautiful.

At this time, they were already above the clouds, and the big sun in the sky was close at hand, but they couldn't feel any heat.

Under the clouds, there were vaguely bamboo waves and forests.

The Seven Veins of Shushan around were like pillars supporting the sky, still out of reach.

Rows of immortal cranes chirped, and in the clouds in the distance, there were vaguely behemoths shuttling.

Suddenly, Dan Heng, who had just joined the Express group behind Himeko, and even all the Vidyadhara people on the Xianzhou, widened their eyes unbelievably.

They clearly saw a cyan divine dragon wandering in the clouds, poking its head out from the clouds; the huge and sacred dragon head had eyes as big as a Xianzhou.

The gorgeous dragon horns and long dragon whiskers all proved its noble status.

The deterrence coming from the bloodline made them feel as if they were facing the Aeon of Permanence in the past...

No!

That is a bloodline even more noble than the Aeon of Permanence.

Immediately afterwards, the Azure Dragon from the east poked its claws, majestically gazing at the people who had just joined Shushan this time.

In the west, clouds burst one by one; a pure white and divine fierce tiger stepped on auspicious clouds proudly in the clouds, roared, and the surrounding sea of clouds rolled and pushed outward.

Its tail was like a steel whip, and every time it flicked, the surrounding space trembled faintly.

Afterwards, the southern sky was instantly ignited by flames, and the boundless sea of clouds turned into fire clouds; accompanied by a high-pitched cry, a divine bird bathed in fire.

Pierced through heavy clouds and rode above the nine heavens.

And before everyone could react, in the north, the ripples of spatial shock swept across, and a pitch-black giant turtle, a divine beast with a black snake wrapped around its back, emerged quietly.

When the Four Divine Beasts suppressed the four corners of the sky, a layer of mysterious barrier emerged, covering everyone.

A moment later, everyone noticed a scrutinizing gaze sweep over, and the Four Divine Beasts retreated quietly.

Involuntarily, the people of the Star Rail universe breathed a sigh of relief.

Hua was a little lost, and after a moment, she murmured:

"In the ancient myths of the Xianzhou, there are descriptions... the Four Spirits of Heaven."

"The Azure Dragon of the East governs vitality; the Bai Hu of the West governs warfare and killing."

"The Zhu Que of the South governs auspiciousness and perfection; the Black Tortoise of the North governs longevity and perseverance."

"The Four Spirits of Heaven combined suppress the world, universal peace, seeing them is great luck for the world..."

"They not only govern celestial phenomena but also represent the alternation of the four seasons and the reincarnation of time..."

"They are great gods in the mythological stories known to everyone in the history of the Xianzhou."

"So..."

Fu Hua on the side chuckled and explained patiently:

"That's right, the Four Spirits of Heaven, Azure Dragon, Bai Hu, Zhu Que, and Black Tortoise, are exactly the guardian divine beasts of Shushan."

"However, they are not the original Four Spirits of Heaven; the real Four Spirits of Heaven are at least Taiyi-level great powers."

"However, they all have the bloodline of the Four Spirits of Heaven."

Pausing, Fu Hua bowed to the sky.

"In the past, Shushan flourished, the world ascended, and three spirit beasts appeared: Azure Dragon, Bai Hu, and Zhu Que."

"Because they refused to be disciplined, they were beaten down in cultivation by the Sect Leader and ordered to be the guardian beasts of Shushan for a hundred years."
