Is the Dao Seeking Sect's Feng Shui Really That Good?

Had spending a hundred thousand spirit stones to have the Heavenly Strategy Sect divine their feng shui back then really paid off this much? "Patriarch, this way, please. The sect has one more Tribulation Transcendence cultivator." Yun Zhi made an inviting gesture, asking Daoist Xiantian to follow. The moment Daoist Xiantian arrived at the Scripture Pavilion, the dazzling array of cultivation methods nearly blinded him. "S-so many cultivation methods?" When he had founded the Dao Seeking Sect, even by the most generous estimate, their cultivation techniques could barely fill a fraction of a single bookshelf, and many of those were just filler. It was completely incomparable to the Scripture Pavilion of today. "Xiaoyun, what brings you here? Have you written another cultivation method?" A lean-faced old man appeared—Elder Tao, the guardian of the Scripture Pavilion. Seeing Lu Yang beside Yun Zhi stirred up unpleasant memories. Last time, this brat Lu Yang had brought the Phoenix Clan Ancient Ancestor along, nearly causing him to lose face. Fortunately, he had yielded in the nick of time. Yun Zhi shook her head. "I have not written any techniques recently. Junior Brother Lu and Junior Brother Meng brought someone back who wished to meet you." Elder Tao gave a hearty laugh, not minding in the least. "As long as it's not the Phoenix Clan Ancient Ancestor, I don't care who wants to see me." Elder Tao turned his gaze toward Daoist Xiantian. "He's the one who wanted to see me? Who is he?" Out of respect for a Tribulation Transcendence cultivator, Daoist Xiantian took the initiative to introduce himself. "My name is Qi Tongtian." "Ah, Little Qi. Just call me Elder Tao. Is he a disciple preparing to enter the sect this year... Wait, what did he say his name was?" Elder Tao trailed off halfway, sensing something was off. Why did that name sound so familiar? He asked cautiously, "Daoist Xiantian Qi Tongtian?" "That's right." Elder Tao looked as if he had seen a ghost and subconsciously took two steps back in terror. Wasn't the Founding Patriarch supposed to be dead? Why had his corpse suddenly sprung back to life? Could the atmosphere in the Dao Seeking Sect have grown so terrible that it had finally angered the Founding Patriarch back to life? Yun Zhi introduced him to Daoist Xiantian. "This is Tao Xian, the guardian of the Scripture Pavilion, at the Tribulation Transcendence stage." "Greetings," Daoist Xiantian said politely. "Just call me Xiao Tao." Elder Tao bowed and scraped, daring not put on any airs. Lu Yang volunteered an explanation of the ins and outs of how the Patriarch had awakened, and only then was Elder Tao convinced that it wasn't a problem with the sect's atmosphere. "Patriarch, if any cultivation method or secret manual catches your eye, feel free to take whatever you like." Daoist Xiantian offered an embarrassed smile. He was currently a mortal and had yet to begin cultivating, so secret manuals were of no use to him. Once they left the Scripture Pavilion, Daoist Xiantian suddenly recalled what Elder Tao had said earlier. "What was that about the Phoenix Clan Ancient Ancestor Xiao Tao mentioned earlier? Has that great figure visited our Dao Seeking Sect as well?" Daoist Xiantian had heard that the Phoenix Clan Ancient Ancestor was one of the Four Sovereigns of the ancient Heavenly Court. An ancient figure of such stature ought to have had no connection whatsoever to their Dao Seeking Sect. Meng Jingzhou replied, "She has. After all, the Phoenix Clan Ancient Ancestor is a guest elder of our Dao Seeking Sect." "A guest elder?" Daoist Xiantian grew even more bewildered, his eyes filled with perplexity. "That doesn't make sense. Isn't this Phoenix Clan Ancient Ancestor a member of the Heavenly Court Cult, the foremost of the Four Great Demonic Cults?" Lu Yang offered a casual explanation. "Oh, that's nothing. The ancient Heavenly Court is just our Dao Seeking Sect." "Huh?" Daoist Xiantian froze on the spot.
