Chapter 734

~6 min read 1,076 words

Only after experiencing everything once could they understand the meaning they had for each other.

Along with it, Kiana looked at Bronya much more favorably.

"Hurry up, Mei. Otto and Kevin have already reached the second layer; we can't fall behind either!"

Kiana urged with a smile and stepped into the second layer of the Heart-Questioning Array.

Himeko, who was watching from afar, breathed a sigh of relief when she saw they weren't lacking in stamina.

At the very beginning, when Kiana and the others stepped into the Heart-Questioning Array, apart from some interested people who paid more attention to see how far these geniuses introduced by her could go,

Most others were struggling with their own assessments.

But today's outer disciple assessment mostly ended in failure.

The improvement of state of mind cannot be done so quickly.

The outer disciples were somewhat regretful, but before they could leave, they suddenly noticed Kiana and the others who were still persisting in the stable array.

First layer, second layer, third layer...

Everyone brought by Himeko easily crossed the three layers of the Heart-Questioning Array. Simply put...

This was at least all inner disciples.

At this, the outer disciples perked up.

They sat cross-legged around one after another, staring closely at them.

The intuition of cultivators told them that today, they might witness a miracle.

Soon, after the fourth layer of Heart-Questioning, apart from those walking at the front who crossed easily,

Some also felt the difficulty.

Tesla and the others were already sweating profusely and panting, looking extremely weak.

They probably understood what Himeko said.

After the third layer of Heart-Questioning, every improvement was no less than walking through all the previous layers of the Heart-Questioning Array again.

But after resting for a while, they still stubbornly rushed toward the fifth layer.

It is a pity, however, that limits are not so easily broken.

The moment they stepped into the fifth level, a massive amount of information surged in, and in the blink of an eye, those not adept at combat, such as Tesla, Einstein, and Gray Serpent,

were instantly ejected.

Stunned on the spot and pondering for a long time, they finally realized they hadn't passed the five levels of Heart Inquiry, feeling somewhat regretful.

"Just one step away..."

Tesla lowered her head, feeling somewhat dejected.

"It doesn't matter; at the very least, you are already inner sect disciples now."

Himeko walked over to the group that had been ejected and comforted them with a smile.

·· ···Seeking flowers···· ·······

Einstein, however, frowned slightly and mused:

"The Heart Inquiry Array is too bizarre. I lived four lifetimes inside and developed many new technologies, but now..."

"I've forgotten everything."

Himeko didn't think much of it.

"This is normal. After all, you haven't cultivated immortality; the memories of living four lifetimes are something you cannot bear."

"Living four lifetimes?"

Gray Serpent, who had been silent all this time, was somewhat surprised.

"Were you all humans in all four lifetimes?"

"Aren't you?"

Tesla looked at Gray Serpent with a strange expression. The latter's face turned awkward, and he whispered:

"The first lifetime was still myself, experiencing the destined fate."

"Starting from the second lifetime..."

"I was basically a snake demon in the cultivation world..."

Gray Serpent was somewhat puzzled; it didn't make sense that just because his codename was Gray Serpent, he would actually be a snake, right?

If that were the case, what about Mobius?

Just as he was pondering, Raven, Amber, and the others walked out, looking somewhat exhausted.

They had successfully passed the five levels of Heart Inquiry, but they lacked the ability to continue forward.

Gray Serpent hurriedly asked:

"Raven, in every lifetime you lived in the Heart Inquiry Array, were you a human?"

Raven raised an eyebrow, surprised:

"Otherwise? Aren't you a human?"

Gray Serpent fell silent.

Now, he suspected he wasn't human.

This makes no sense!

Although he had indeed undergone many modifications to himself and uploaded his consciousness to the network, possessing a certain concept of a collective consciousness entity.

But in essence, he was indeed a human!

Could it be...

That the modifications were too extreme?

Would it affect his cultivation?

It's over...

Now, he really wasn't a human anymore.

Gray Serpent looked toward Kevin's direction with some melancholy; Kevin was still walking at the very front.

Although he looked somewhat exhausted, he didn't seem like he was about to be kicked out of the array.

Dispelling the grumbling in his heart, Gray Serpent was full of anticipation; he was still very curious about how far Kevin could go.

Raven looked at Himeko and asked curiously:

"What triggered this guy?"

"Oh, nothing."

Himeko said calmly:

"In the Heart Inquiry Array, he spent three lifetimes as a snake demon."

"Huh?"

Raven was dumbfounded. A moment later, she subconsciously distanced herself from Gray Serpent.

Gray Serpent was somewhat annoyed but still ignored Raven.

The number of outer sect disciples watching from all around was increasing, and the number of people remaining in the Heart Inquiry Array was getting smaller and smaller...

466. Otto: I won't turn back until I break the nine levels of Heart Inquiry

After that, the remaining ones were basically combat-type elites.

Although the Heart Inquiry Array was still very torturous for them, they could at least continue walking forward.

Once they passed the sixth level of Heart Inquiry, Theresa, Welt, and the others turned pale. After exchanging glances, although they wanted to continue forward, they ultimately retreated rationally.

This step had already reached the qualification for a core disciple; afterward, as long as they raised their cultivation to the Qi-to-Spirit stage, they could advance to core disciples.

Reaching the sixth level was already considered quite high.

Those who had recently joined Shushan, such as Himeko and the others in the previous batch, basically had results around this level.

Come to think of it, it was worth being proud of.

But...

At the moment, many people from the Honkai world were still rooted in the Heart Inquiry Array.

After coming out, Theresa greeted Himeko and stared intently at the figures of Kiana and the others.

She was very much looking forward to seeing how far Kiana and the others could actually go.

The next batch to come out were Rita and Seele, who had failed at the seventh level of the Heart Inquiry Array.

Looking in the direction of the Heart Inquiry Array, Rita and the others felt somewhat regretful.
