Chapter 736
However, Miss Ganyu and Miko, who were watching the scene in the round light mirror in front of Jiang Yan, were somewhat shocked.
Two people standing on the ninth level of Heart Inquiry in one go, and without even cultivating immortality, this was the first time.
"Is the talent and state of mind of people from the Honkai world this powerful?"
Miss Ganyu murmured with some emotion.
Jiang Yan shook his head and said softly:
"That can't be said either; Otto and Kevin are special."
"If Fu Hua, who is still in slumber, also wakes up, this time, perhaps two geniuses who have passed the nine levels of Heart Inquiry could appear at once."
Otto, as a human, deceived the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, manipulated power, and created a new world line.
Such a great achievement destined his state of mind to be extraordinarily powerful.
Kevin, sealed in the Sea of Quanta for fifteen hundred years, was still the strongest of the previous civilization, a hero, and a savior.
Not to mention Fu Hua, the supreme master of the martial arts world, who had lived for over fifty thousand years.
These three were special compared to others in the Honkai world.
But...
That was all there was to it.
Perhaps the Kiana of the future could also pass the nine levels of Heart Inquiry; by then, she would be quite mature.
But for now, only these three had such ability.
"Wait, only two out of three can pass the nine levels of Heart Inquiry?"
Miko was stunned for a moment, then asked in surprise:
"Could it be that Otto is the one who can't pass?"
After all, she could also see that although Kevin hadn't cultivated immortality, the other party's strength was simply not something that ordinary Essence-to-Qi cultivation could contend with.
Having too much strength was also an advantage.
But Jiang Yan shook his head and said softly:
"On the contrary, Otto will definitely pass the nine levels of Heart Inquiry; as for Kevin... at present, he still has too much confusion and too many choices in his heart."
"He is not as pure as Otto."
"Therefore, Kevin cannot pass the nine levels of Heart Inquiry."
Perhaps...
When the Honkai world reaches its finale, and Kevin, having experienced more things, completely decides on his own future and destination.
At that time, Kevin will also pass the nine levels of Heart Inquiry.
But regardless, for now, his state of mind is not as determined as Otto's.
Not to mention anything else, once Otto makes a decision, he will never regret it; no matter how much is sacrificed, he accepts it.
But Kevin...
To be honest, Kevin is probably not yet completely firm on the plan he intends to execute.
More choices mean more variables.
Sure enough, as Jiang Yan's voice fell, Kevin, who had completely fainted, was pushed out of the Heart Inquiry Array.
Raven and Gray Serpent hurriedly rushed over to check and breathed a sigh of relief upon discovering that Kevin was fine.
Although he didn't pass the nine levels of Heart Inquiry, he had still walked halfway through.
Moreover, his starting point now was enough to make many people feel awe.
But then, everyone focused their attention on Otto again.
Now, only Otto could create a miracle.
The area around the Heart Inquiry Array became increasingly silent; after an unknown amount of time, suddenly, rays of golden light and colorful clouds surged from the horizon.
They flowed into Otto's body.
The latter stood up uncontrollably, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.
Theresa was stunned for a moment, then said in surprise:
"Grandfather... did he really pass all the Heart Inquiry Arrays?"
Himeko's gaze was somewhat complex, and after a long while, she nodded.
"From today on, Otto is the third genius to pass the nine levels of Heart Inquiry before cultivating immortality."
Looking in the direction Himeko was looking, everyone suddenly discovered that below the two names at the very top of the massive stone tablet,
a brand-new name had appeared.
Otto Apocalypse.
Everyone felt somewhat complex, but regardless, Otto had brought honor to the Honkai world.
Everyone should at least offer a trace of respect.
Durandal, who had regained consciousness, looked at Otto in the distance with a complex gaze.
"Lord Bishop's state of mind... was it always this firm?"
As the words fell, the outer sect disciples all around instantly boiled over.
Cheers resounded throughout all of Shushan.
Today, they had once again witnessed history.
They had witnessed the birth of a miracle.
Since Furina's nine levels of Heart Inquiry, another person had passed the nine levels of Heart Inquiry Array.
Although it was mostly envy of Otto's ability, as Shushan disciples, the addition of a new genius to Shushan would inevitably strengthen the sect.
The Shushan disciples were still happy from the bottom of their hearts.
Kevin also recovered under the adjustment of Himeko's true essence; he looked at the name on the stone tablet and then at Otto.
He sighed.
In the end, he was one move short.
Gray Serpent whispered:
"Lord, do not be discouraged; it was just a mistake. I believe you definitely possess the qualification to pass the nine levels of Heart Inquiry!"
Kevin did not answer, only watching Otto, who was walking over with a smile and a victorious posture.
After a long while, he whispered:
"Congratulations."
Otto also nodded with a smile; if it weren't for maintaining a bit of decorum, he would be jumping for joy right now.
The nine levels of Heart Inquiry might not represent that his aptitude was good enough, but it was enough for the high-level officials of Shushan to value him.
In this way, Otto would be confident in providing Kallen and the others with more resources.
Standing out in a cultivation sect was never a mistake.
"Congratulations, Otto, for becoming the third existence in Shushan to pass the nine levels of Heart Inquiry before cultivating immortality."
Himeko mentioned softly; Otto's eyes flashed, and he asked curiously:
"Passing the nine levels before cultivating immortality..."
"It seems there are more Heart Inquiry Arrays after cultivating immortality?"
Himeko nodded slightly and said softly:
"The Heart Inquiry Array is just an array for Shushan to select disciples and for ordinary disciples to temper their state of mind."
"Then may I ask, where do Mr. Seeing Zhongli and the others go to temper their state of mind after cultivating immortality?"
Otto looked at Himeko with some curiosity.
He had been curious before that the stone tablet only stated that Seeing Zhongli and the others had stopped at the eighth level of Heart Inquiry.
But this was unreasonable; Seeing Zhongli and the others were gods, after all, and had lived for a long time. It was no problem for them to pass the eighth level of Heart Inquiry upon first entering Shushan.
But after cultivating immortality, it didn't make sense for them to still be at the eighth level.
Himeko pondered for a moment and said softly:
"After switching their cultivation path, Head Seeing Zhongli and the others generally place a Heart-Refining Array in their own immortal caves. This kind of Heart-Refining Array basically doesn't have a distinction of levels."
"Heart-refining is generally conducted in private."
Otto suddenly realized and nodded:
"I have learned much."
"Let's go."
Himeko raised her disciple token, summoned the Rainbow Bridge, and said softly:
