Chapter 307

"Did you see that! Did you see that! That is our Fontaine's Hydro Archon! That is Lady Furina!"

"I knew it! Lady Furina can definitely do it!"

"Lady Furina is the most perfect Hydro Archon! She will definitely pass!"

"Lady Furina will definitely bring supreme glory to Fontaine!"

Clorinde's heart trembles; she looks back and sees many Fontaine people in the crowd shouting hoarsely.

Even though most of them did not pass the assessment, it does not stop them from proudly pulling everyone around them to introduce Furina.

Furina's eyes are vacant, but the light within them is increasingly soul-stirring.

"Fontaine... Fontaine!"

"I am... the Hydro Archon..."

"I can never stop..."

Furina struggles to stand up; the willpower of countless Fontaine citizens condenses into a rope, serving as the final push for Furina.

But Zhongli sees it.

Furina has reached the limit of limits; going further, she is very likely to sink into it.

With the eighth layer of the Heart-Questioning, Furina has already proven herself.

Or perhaps she never needed to prove anything to anyone.

But right now, she cannot continue forward.

Just as he intends to raise his hand to send Furina out,

suddenly, a rosy light gathers on the high platform.

Zhongli is startled and hurriedly turns to bow.

"Sect Master."

Jiang Yan's appearance makes the entire Heart-Questioning Array fall silent.

Jiang Yan does not respond, his gaze fixed on Furina.

After a long while, he says slowly:

"Let her continue walking!"

183. The mountain opening ends, disciples enter the sect.

"Sect Master, she has already..."

Zhongli hesitates, but Jiang Yan waves his hand.

"Human willpower is infinite; believe in her."

Jiang Yan looks at Furina with emotion.

She is not like Bai Zhu, who has a fanatical obsession with immortal cultivation, making him naturally more suited to walk through the Heart-Questioning Array.

Furina does not have much obsession with immortal cultivation, and it is uncertain how much she even understands it.

The obsession supporting her is of a different kind.

Such a thing is generally impossible in the Heart-Questioning Array.

Without much obsession for immortal cultivation, one would at most stop at the sixth layer.

That she can persist until now is already breaking the impossible.

Since that is the case...

The final layer is not necessarily impossible.

She is a person who possesses both human infinity and divine perfection.

She will not stop here.

Finally, Furina stands up shakily and stumbles into the final layer of the Heart-Questioning Array.

The entire Shushan falls into an unprecedented silence.

Everyone's breathing slows down, and the chirping of birds and insects disappears without a trace.

Between heaven and earth, it seems only Furina's figure remains.

This silence is longer than any before.

Zhongli and the others stare fixedly at Furina, ready to send her out immediately if there is any problem.

But strangely, after stepping into the ninth layer, Furina's aura does not decrease but increases.

After reaching a critical limit, that willpower and obsession, which had almost become tangible, burst out from her body.

Sweeping across the Heart-Questioning Array, everyone clearly feels what has been supporting Furina until now.

Fontaine!

The Fontaine people stare blankly at Furina; for the first time, they understand how much Furina loves Fontaine, how much she loves them, her citizens.

Unable to help it, the Fontaine people burst into tears.

Having such a Hydro Archon, they are the happiest people in the world.

At least from this moment on, in the hearts of these Fontaine people, the title of Hydro Archon is bound to Furina.

Except for Furina, in their hearts, no one can hold this title.

The clamorous power of willpower gradually dissipates.

Furina slowly opens her eyes.

The vacant luster fades; at this moment, she seems to understand everything, her gaze firm, unshakable even if the sky were to collapse.

The ninth layer of the Heart-Questioning Array is shattered by Furina with her obsession for Fontaine.

From this day on, she is the second person in Shushan to walk through the ninth layer of the Heart-Questioning.

She is the first, and possibly the last, to successfully shatter the ninth layer of the Heart-Questioning Array without any obsession for immortal cultivation.

Zhongli and the others are moved for the first time, looking at Furina in shock.

This willpower makes them admire her.

Jiang Yan smiles with relief and says softly:

"Congratulations, Furina..."

The complex memories of nine lifetimes gradually fade; Furina raises her hand, looking at herself in disbelief.

"I... really passed the ninth layer of the Heart-Questioning?"

"Do not doubt it; you have indeed walked through the ninth layer of the Heart-Questioning, and what's more, you did so without much obsession for immortal cultivation."

Jiang Yan beckons gently, and Furina involuntarily floats up, standing opposite him.

Being close to Jiang Yan, the feeling of gentle proximity to the Dao makes her turbulent heart gradually calm down.

Her whole person also involuntarily quiets down.

"Even in the entire history of Shushan, you are unprecedented."

"The Heart-Questioning Array, as an array for Shushan to recruit immortal cultivation disciples, tests not only the disciple's willpower and Dao heart but also their persistence for immortal cultivation."

"You stepped here with only a fraction of obsession for your nation; although it goes against the original intention of the Heart-Questioning Array, it is even more shocking."

"Furina, your future is limitless."

Furina looks at Jiang Yan with flickering eyes, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Congratulations again, Furina; you have made history."

Jiang Yan waves his hand gently, and Furina flies back to the side of Clorinde and the others.

"Lady Furina, are you alright?"

Clorinde looks at Furina nervously; her state after passing the eighth layer just now really scared Clorinde.

"I..."

Furina opens her mouth and shakes her head.

"I'm fine."

"That's good..."

Clorinde breathes a sigh of relief, but looking at Furina, her gaze becomes somewhat complex; after a long while, endless emotions gather into a sigh.

"Thank you, Lady Furina; no matter what, you are the most perfect Hydro Archon in my heart, and I am honored to be in Fontaine under your rule."

Furina's heart trembles; for some reason, she suddenly wants to cry.

"Adjust your state."

Ningguang walks over with kindness and nods slightly.

"Next is the most important moment." ===== CHAPTER 308 =====
