Original God: Founding the Shushan Sect, Gathering People in Teyvat to Cultivate Immortality.

Jiang Yan did not respond, but looked at Funina steadily.

After a while, he said slowly:

"Let her keep going!".

183. The opening ceremony is over and disciples are admitted

"Master, she has already..."

Zhongli hesitated, but Jiang Yan waved his hand.

"Human will is unlimited. Believe in her."

Jiang Yan looked at Funina with some emotion.

She is not like Bai Zhu, who has a crazy obsession with cultivating immortals. She is naturally more suitable for stepping through the Great Array of Questioning the Heart.

Funina didn't have much obsession with cultivating immortals, and it's not even clear whether she knew much about cultivating immortals.

Supporting her obsession is another.

This kind of thing is generally impossible in the Great Array of Questioning the Heart.

He didn't have much obsession with cultivating immortals, and at most he would stop at the sixth level.

The fact that she has been able to hold on until now has already achieved the impossible.

That being the case...

The last level may not be impossible.

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

She won't stop here.

Finally, Funina stood up tremblingly and stepped unsteadily into the last level of the self-examination formation.

The entire Shu Mountain fell into an unprecedented silence.

Everyone's breathing slowed down, and the chirping of birds, animals and cicadas disappeared.

It seemed as if Furninna was the only one left in the world.

This time the silence was longer than before.

Zhongli and others kept a close eye on Funina, ready to send her out immediately if there was any problem.

But the strange thing is that after entering the ninth level, Funina's momentum did not decrease but increased.

After reaching a critical point, the willpower and obsession that had almost become material suddenly burst out of the body.

Sweeping through the Great Inquiry Formation, everyone clearly felt what had supported Funina to get to where she is today.

Fontaine!

The people of Fontaine stared at Funina in amazement. For the first time, they understood how much Funina loved Fontaine and how much she loved them, her people.

The people of Fontaine couldn't help but burst into tears.

With such a water god, they are the happiest people in the world.

At least from this moment on, in the hearts of these Fontaine people, the title of Water Goddess has been bound to Funina.

In their hearts, no one except Funina could be worthy of this title.

The noisy force of will gradually dissipated.

Furninda slowly opened her eyes.

The lifeless luster dissipated, and at this moment she seemed to understand everything. Her eyes were firm and could not be shaken even if the sky collapsed.

The Nine-Layered Self-Searching Array was successfully shattered by Funina with her obsession with Fontaine.

From now on, she is the second person in Shushan to step into the ninth level of self-examination.

He is the first, and possibly the last, person who successfully breaks the test of the Nine-Layered Self-Searching Array without having an obsession with cultivating immortals.

Zhongli and others were moved for the first time and looked at Funina in shock.

This will made them admire it.

Jiang Yan smiled with relief and said softly:

"Congratulations, Funina..."

The complicated memories of the Ninth Life gradually faded away, and Funina raised her hand and looked at herself in disbelief.

"I... have I really passed the ninth level of self-examination?"

"There is no doubt that you have indeed passed the ninth level of self-examination, and you do not have much obsession with cultivating immortals."

Jiang Yan waved his hand gently, and Funina flew up involuntarily and stood opposite him.

Being in close contact with Jiang Yan, the feeling of his gentleness and approach made her turbulent heart gradually calm down.

The whole person couldn't help but calm down.

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

"The Great Questioning Heart Formation is the formation used by Shushan to recruit immortal cultivators. In addition to assessing the disciples' willpower and heart, they also assess their dedication to cultivating immortals."

"You set foot here with only a little obsession for the country. Although it goes against the original intention of the Great Array of Inquiry, it is even more shocking."

"Funina, your future is limitless."

Funina looked at Jiang Yan with twinkling eyes, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Congratulations again, Funina, you've made history."

Jiang Yan waved his hand gently, and Funina flew back to Clorinde and the others.

"Ms. Furninna, are you okay?"

Clorinde looked at Funina nervously. She was really scared by her condition after she passed the eighth level.

"I……"

Furninna opened her mouth and shook her head.

"fine."

"That's good……"

Clorinde breathed a sigh of relief and just looked at Funina with a complicated look in her eyes. After a while, endless emotions merged into a sigh.

"Thank you, Ms. Funina. No matter what, you are the most perfect water god in my heart. I am honored to be in Fontaine under your rule."

Funina's heart trembled, and for some reason, she suddenly felt like crying.

"Adjust your status."

Ningguang walked over with a kind look on her face and nodded slightly.

"Next, it's the most important moment."

Furninna nodded in confusion.

She is in a very complicated mood now, and she doesn't know how to describe it, but...

Regardless, we have reached this point.

What happens next is the most important.

Trying hard to clear the messy thoughts in her mind, Funina followed Ningguang and the others and walked to the square.

Jiang Yan stood on the high platform with his hands behind his back, and the mountain breeze blew his ink-colored robes.

At this moment, he seemed like an immortal who was about to transcend the calamity and ascend to heaven, illusory and ethereal, as if he was not in the human world.

The cultivators were graceful and expressed themselves freely, and those who passed the test were naturally delighted.

Those who didn’t pass can only worry in secret.

Jiang Yan looked around at everyone and spoke slowly.

"Whether you have gained something or not, I congratulate you all for going through the Great Inquiry of the Heart."

"But the number of students admitted to Shushan is limited, and most of the people here will return empty-handed."

"But you don't need to be disappointed. The reconstruction of Shushan is in need of manpower. It won't be like the once-in-a-century cultivation novels you read."

"The next opening time may be one year at the shortest and three to five years at the longest. You can prepare early."

"The human way is vague, the immortal way is vast."

"To seek immortality and ask for the truth, one must first have the opportunity."

“Even powerful immortal cultivators have their powers no match for destiny.”

"Everything is due to fate, and everything is in one's mind."

"Just keep walking, your own path is always under your feet."

I don't know how many people heard the sound and how many people understood the meaning of this passage.

However, everyone still bowed.

"Thank you for your teachings, Master."

Jiang Yan nodded slightly, then nodded to Zhongli beside him, and instantly disappeared like a cloud of ink.

"After settling all the people who came to Mount Shu, take the inner and outer disciples to Tongtian Peak to see me."

"Yes, Master."

Zhongli nodded in response, then turned around and looked down.

"This Shushan Opening Ceremony ends here."

"Shushan is recruiting 1,000 disciples. The inner disciples have been decided, totaling 21."

"There are still 979 vacancies for outer disciples. Where is the outer elder Yun Qingyun?"

The two stepped out from the crowd and said,

"Yun Qing (Yun Qie) is here."

"Based on the performance of the Heart-Searching Formation just now, select 979 outer disciples."

"Select another 3,000 menial disciples to serve in Shushan."

"As for the rest, we will select 30,000 talented people based on their performance to practice martial arts in the Shushan world and reserve them for the opening ceremony in the future."

The two responded loudly.

"As ordered."

After saying this, he took many outer sect elders with him and began to inspect.

First of all, those who have passed the second level of self-examination are definitely outer disciples.

The next step is to try to impact the second level of the Great Self-Searching Array.

Finally, we will select those disciples with relatively good talents from those who have barely passed the first level of the Great Self-examination Array.

The rest were all menial disciples.

This selection is quite simple.

The talents of these outer disciples are roughly the same.

The good ones have double or triple spiritual roots, and the highest grade is medium grade.

Those who are slightly inferior also have the four spiritual roots.

As for the five spiritual roots, there is no need to look into it any further.

There are indeed many geniuses in Teyvat, but in the end, most of them are people with mediocre qualifications.

It is still unknown how many of these people will be able to reach the level of inner disciples in the future.

Given their qualifications, it would be difficult for them to even break through to the stage of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation.

Even if there is a chance, it will probably take hundreds of years.

It is even possible that one will remain at the stage of refining essence into qi for the rest of one's life.
