Chapter 558

"Therefore, their cultivation of the Sword-Flying Technique is the strongest."

Hearing this, Himeko gave a wry smile, shook her head, and said:

"Then I shouldn't be good at it. The weapon I'm good at using is a greatsword, but my Sword Dao is a sword of killing enemies summarized on the battlefield."

"And the opponents are all Honkai Beasts with huge bodies, so it shouldn't count as exquisite, right?"

"But I have a student who is very good at the Sword Dao, and also... the Class Monitor's martial arts seem to be very strong."

"They might have a chance to join Tongtian Peak."

Alice nodded thoughtfully and smiled:

"It doesn't matter! Looking at you, Himeko, if you want to join Shushan, you should join our Longshou Peak."

"You shouldn't be good at the four side lineages of alchemy, formations, artifacts, and beasts, and Xiaozhu Peak prioritizes spells. You don't look like someone who can study spells either."

Hearing Alice analyze for her seriously, Himeko nodded with a quite bright smile.

"Then I'll have to trouble Elder Alice to take care of me in the future."

"Hehe! Then you've really hugged the right thigh. In Shushan, everyone has to give me some face, you know."

Alice raised her neck quite proudly, and Venti on the side complained with a grin.

"Hehe! That's for sure. Elder Alice's daughter is the Sect Master's only direct disciple; it's a case of 'mother is honored by the daughter'."

"Venti!!!"

334. Himeko: Isn't Shushan a Daoist sect? You use Buddhist techniques?

Looking at Venti making faces at her, Alice was annoyed and ashamed.

Although it was true that because Klee was Jiang Yan's disciple, she had quite a lot of face in Shushan.

But Alice wouldn't allow others to say such things in front of her.

She also wanted face.

Glaring fiercely at Venti, Alice stopped in mid-air, pinched an orchid finger, and a bright golden Buddhist lotus bloomed behind her.

Clusters of golden flames turned into star rings and flew towards Venti.

Venti stuck out his tongue, patted the gourd at his waist, and the gourd instantly soared into the air, turning into a mount. Venti sat on it and dodged the flames lightly.

He flew away in a flash.

Alice snorted, raised her hand, and struck again.

In a trance, Himeko seemed to see the figure of a solemn Bodhisattva appear behind Alice.

It reached out its hand just like Alice.

"Wow! You're playing for real!"

Venti was shocked, hurriedly pointed his fingers, and a sword energy pierced out. Although it failed to break Alice's palm print, it was enough for him to slip away.

Alice was too lazy to chase him.

This guy Venti, apart from being good at the ultimate attack spells 'Wine God Curse' and 'Drunken Immortal Gazing at the Moon', the rest of his techniques...

'Cloud Body Clone', 'Taishang Qianxing Decision', etc., are all ultimate escape techniques.

When it comes to speed, even Qingluan can't see Venti's tail lights now.

Perhaps it was because he was stimulated by Qingluan in the Nine Nether Secret Realm back then, or perhaps this guy just likes to run away.

But speaking of which, reaching the peak of running away can also be considered a skill.

Alice snorted and complained:

"A dignified Wind God, now the Peak Master of Chaoyang Peak, actually only likes to run away. Shameless!"

After saying that, Alice turned back to look at Himeko and smiled again.

"Let's go, I'll take you to see other places. Speaking of which, you haven't seen the main gate of our Shushan yet, right? It's a quite towering building, you know."

Himeko looked at Alice in a daze. After a moment, she asked in confusion:

"Elder Alice... Shushan is a Daoist sect, right?"

"Of course, didn't I say that?"

Alice spread her hands.

"Shushan is the leader of the Daoist sects, and in the Upper Realm, it is also one of the pillar sects of the Daoist sects."

Himeko silently pointed to the residual Buddhist light behind Alice.

"Then... if I'm not mistaken, Elder Alice, what you used... seems to be a Buddhist technique, right?"

Alice's face stiffened, and she laughed it off:

"Small matter! The Sect Master has said that there isn't much dispute or confrontation between Buddhism and Daoism in reality."

"Our Shushan's direct superior, one of the Three Pure Ones, the Shangqing Lingbao Heavenly Venerable, has a very good relationship with the Future Buddha of Buddhism."

"Or rather, the Three Pure Ones and the Three World-Honored Ones are all Daoist friends with good relationships."

"Using Buddhist techniques is nothing. Besides, I'm not the only one using them; that guy Diluc is still a Fierce Vajra."

"The Sect Master said, 'nothing is forbidden', as long as you don't violate Shushan's precepts, you can practice anything."

Himeko realized and said softly:

"It seems that Shushan is quite open-minded."

But in reality, Himeko also understood.

This open-mindedness of Shushan is only because they have a deep foundation and powerful strength, so they don't care about anything.

The cultivation world is also a kind of society, and since it is a society, there will naturally be a confrontation of ideologies.

The leaders of Buddhism and Daoism having a good relationship is because their status is placed there; only those people can become Daoist friends.

But below...

It's really not certain how good it will be.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many stories in the heavens and myriad worlds about Buddhism and Daoism being incompatible like fire and water.

"Then... can one fall in love within Shushan? In your words, should it be called Daoist companions?"

Himeko asked curiously again. Suddenly, Alice stumbled and almost fell off her flying sword.

Turning back, she looked at Himeko somewhat strangely.

"That... did I say something wrong? Sorry."

Himeko scratched her cheek in embarrassment. Alice looked left and right, lowered her voice, and said:

"(agej) Don't say such things in front of others. Shushan indeed doesn't practice the Heartless Dao, and it doesn't have taboos regarding love."

"But... for the time being, this matter is not suitable to be talked about."

Himeko was very smart. Anything that could make Alice somewhat taboo must be the Shushan Sect Master.

That would mean...

The Shushan Sect Master is leading by example in love?

Thinking of this, Himeko was also somewhat enlightened, but the fire of gossip in her heart had already ignited, so she couldn't help but say:

"Can this be talked about?"

"This..."

Alice had a guilty conscience.

"The Sect Master doesn't care, but this kind of thing is the Sect Master's private matter. Discussing the Sect Master's private matters will be punished by the Law Enforcement Hall."

"But you are joining Shushan, so this kind of thing definitely can't be hidden from you."

"However, after you know, you are not allowed to talk about it casually, otherwise... involving the Sect Master, Xiao won't give me any face."

After saying that, Alice lowered her voice, leaned into Himeko's ear, and whispered:

"When they first joined Shushan, Ganyu was at the mid-stage of Refining Essence into Qi, and Miko was at the late stage of Refining Essence into Qi."

"It was only a month or two, and Ganyu reached Refining Qi into Spirit, and Miko also reached the peak of Refining Essence into Qi, preparing to cross the tribulation."

"You understand, right?"

Himeko suddenly realized.

"The legendary dual cultivation technique?"

Alice didn't say anything more, and Himeko also understood in her heart, changing the subject.

"Elder Alice, how far do you think I need to cultivate to solve the Honkai?"

"This..."

Alice frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, she said softly:

"Can you let me see your Plague Gem?"
