Chapter 708

"I don't know how much time the Sect Leader will need to cross the tribulation in the Xuanming World, but I think it shouldn't be long."

"Two months from now, Shushan will hold the Seven-Pulse Martial Arts Tournament. This is a grand event in Shushan, and all disciples of the seven pulses must participate in the martial arts competition."

"Therefore, within seven days, you had better integrate the situation of the entire St. Freya. At that time, I will take you back to Shushan."

Theresa nodded slightly, thinking in her heart.

Seven days is a bit rushed, but it's not impossible…

After Theresa thought it through, Himeko added:

"Regarding the issue of aptitude, you don't need to worry. My aptitude is okay, yours should be better."

"As for the Heart-Questioning Array, this is not something I can help you with."

"The Heart-Questioning Array is an array in Shushan to test the temperament of disciples."

"Nine levels within the array, one life per step."

"Every step you take, you will live a complete life in a fleeting instant."

"To join the Inner Sect, you must pass three levels of heart-questioning."

Mei was stunned and said in disbelief:

"That is to say… we need to live at least three lives?"

Himeko nodded and said helplessly:

"I went through that too. I lived six lives."

"The Peak Masters of various peaks are all existences who have passed eight levels of heart-questioning. As for nine levels…"

"In the entire Shushan, only Bai Zhu and Furina have successfully passed."

"The two of them, one is an existence who has craved the immortal path all their life and is willing to pay everything to seek immortality, with a heart for seeking the Dao so firm that even the Sect Leader admires it."

"The other is an existence who, as a human, acted as a god to rule the nation for five hundred years, performing divine deeds with a human body."

"However, passing nine levels of heart-questioning has great benefits for you. I really hope you can successfully pass the nine-level Heart-Questioning Array."

Theresa and the others looked at Himeko with complex eyes. This time, Kiana didn't brag either.

Living nine times…

Himeko really thinks highly of them.

"Next, let me tell you about the situation in Shushan."

Himeko smiled and continued:

"Shushan has always had seven pulses."

"Tongtian Peak, Dragon Head Peak, Wind-Returning Peak, Big Bamboo Peak, Small Bamboo Peak, Morning Sun Peak, Falling Glow Peak."

"The managers of each peak are called Shushan Peak Masters, and Tongtian Peak is the seven pulses directly controlled and managed by the Sect Leader."

"It is also the strongest of the seven pulses. Shushan is also known as the Shushan Sword Sect. Tongtian Peak is famous for its swords, and the sword masters of Shushan are basically all on Tongtian Peak."

"Dragon Head Peak is the seven pulses where I am currently located. It is the main combat force for Shushan to manage and supervise disciples internally and to fight externally to maintain Shushan's reputation."

"Dragon Head Peak has a Law Enforcement Hall to supervise Shushan disciples. The Peak Master of Dragon Head Peak, Peak Master Zhongli, is currently at the peak of Refining Qi into Spirit and is about to cross the tribulation to break through."

"Law Enforcement Hall Elders Alice, Neuvillette, and Barnabas."

"One at the peak of Refining Qi into Spirit, two at the late stage of Refining Qi into Spirit."

"Dragon Head Peak also has the most disciples."

"The first disciple of Dragon Head Peak, my Senior Brother Xiao, middle stage of Refining Qi into Spirit."

"He is also the most strict first disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall. Even Peak Master Venti has suffered a lot from him."

"He is impartial, so try not to provoke him. He doesn't care about your identity; if he says he will punish you, he will."

443. Kiana: Small Bamboo Peak is all beautiful sisters?

"Small Bamboo Peak is the seven pulses that only has women. People of this pulse are all existences who have reached the pinnacle in the attainment of techniques."

"Currently, this pulse does not have a Peak Master yet, but there is already a designated person."

"Senior Sister Shenhe of the Pure Yin Body is currently only at the early stage of Refining Qi into Spirit."

"The Small Bamboo Peak pulse has always been inherited by the Pure Yin Body. Only the Pure Yin Body can become the Peak Master."

"Senior Sister Shenhe is very strong, and her Seven Killing Orders of Gods and Ghosts are superb, but no one has ever seen her go all out."

"Small Bamboo Peak is also a sect in Shushan famous for fighting. In external wars, Dragon Head Peak and Small Bamboo Peak are the leaders."

As soon as she finished speaking, Kiana's eyes lit up, and she looked at Himeko full of expectation.

"A pulse that is all beautiful sisters?"

"You guy, stop thinking about these things!"

Himeko tapped Kiana's head in annoyance.

"Most of the people in Small Bamboo Peak have high positions and great power in the mortal world. Their minds are not something you little guy can compare to."

"Be careful not to be played to pieces by them."

Kiana curled her lips.

"Wait a moment, Himeko, didn't you say that Tongtian Peak is controlled by the Sect Leader and is the strongest pulse in Shushan?"

Theresa looked at Himeko in confusion, and the latter nodded.

"That's right. Shushan's three Divine Bodies and many special physiques are basically all on Tongtian Peak. The worst ones are top-tier sword cultivators with top-grade spiritual roots."

"But unless necessary, Tongtian Peak is not responsible for external wars. Tongtian Peak is directly under the Sect Leader, and more represents Shushan's foundation and power."

"Tongtian Peak is also Shushan's last line of defense. If in a battle, people from Tongtian Peak take action."

"Either they are carrying out a mission to cut weeds and remove roots, or Shushan has already fallen into a crisis."

"Tongtian Peak's status is very special."

Himeko paused and said with emotion:

"Shushan Sect Treasury, Shushan Demon-Locking Tower, Scripture Library, Merit Hall."

"These buildings are all on Tongtian Peak."

"The Sect Treasury contains countless pills and magic treasures collected by Shushan over countless years."

"The Demon-Locking Tower suppresses countless powerful demons, and there are many who have reached Refining Void into Dao."

"The Scripture Library contains many techniques accumulated by Shushan over countless years, and even immortal methods."

"The Merit Hall is the building that operates the entire Shushan, maintains the exchange of cultivation resources for disciples, and issues tasks."

"These four buildings are personally suppressed by the Sect Leader."

"Therefore, Tongtian Peak's status is very special and absolutely no risks are allowed."

Theresa realized and said with emotion:

"In that case, the requirements to join Tongtian Peak must also be very harsh."

"That's right, you must reach a very high level in Sword Dao."

Himeko replied and added:

"The remaining Big Bamboo Peak, Wind-Returning Peak, Morning Sun Peak, Falling Glow Peak."

"Control Shushan's four side paths: Alchemy, Artifact, Array, and Beast."

"Big Bamboo Peak is famous for alchemy. There is no Peak Master for the time being, but everyone in Big Bamboo Peak is good at alchemy."

"Pills are resources necessary for cultivators to practice, so no one has ever dared to make enemies with the Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters of Big Bamboo Peak."

"The Peak Master of Wind-Returning Peak is Peak Master Yae, who is at the peak of Refining Qi into Spirit. Wind-Returning Peak is in charge of artifact refining, and many magic treasures come from their hands."

"Morning Sun Peak is good at the way of arrays. The Peak Master of Morning Sun Peak is Peak Master Venti, who is at the peak of Refining Qi into Spirit."

As soon as she finished speaking, Bronya said in surprise:

"Wendy?"

"No, it's Venti."

Himeko found it somewhat funny. She guessed that Bronya and the others would have this reaction.

"Peak Master Venti was once one of the Seven Sovereigns of Teyvat, the original sovereign of Mondstadt, the ancient God of Wind and Freedom who has existed for more than three thousand years."

"Later joined Shushan and achieved the peak of Refining Qi into Spirit."

"Although he looks very unreliable on weekdays and likes to drink, he is drunk most of the time."

"But no one can underestimate him. His exclusive Heavenly Star Big Dipper Array, once set up, no one can break it unless their cultivation is higher than his."

"Moreover, he is famous for his speed and can cross the entire solar system in the blink of an eye."

"It's just that he is very jumpy and is at the top of the fine list of Dragon Head Peak. No one has ever been able to surpass him."

Kiana pouted and muttered:
