"See you later, Little Green."
The river spirit scolded with a laugh, "I told you I don't want this lousy name! Come up with a new one for me when you get back!"
"Eldest Senior Sister, is there anyone else we haven't met?" Lu Yang asked in a low voice.
"Yes, there's still one left. You'll know once we get there."
The last senior member was quite far from here, so Eldest Senior Sister plucked another cloud from the sky and flew off with the three of them.
The Great Grassland, Prison Peak, the former site of the Sword Cleansing Pool... The cloud flew past these places without the slightest intention of slowing down.
It was only when they reached the depths of the Dao Seeking Sect—a place Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou had never set foot in—that it finally came to a halt at a desolate mountain.
"This is Cangmang Mountain, the seclusion grounds of a sect senior."
"The reason you haven't seen him is that he has always been in secluded cultivation."
"Besides, his status is rather special, so very few people know about him."
As Eldest Senior Sister spoke, she parted the withered vines to reveal a cave behind them.
"Senior, are you there? If you're not in seclusion, please come out for a moment."
Before long, a youthful voice came from inside the cave, sounding like a boy around the same age as Daoist Xiantian.
"Why are you shouting so loudly? Don't you know you should respect your elders?"
Inside the spiritual space, the Immortal Fairy let out a soft gasp of surprise.
Before Lu Yang could even ask what was wrong, a youth walked out of the cave with an impatient scowl on his face.
"Allow me to introduce him. This is our sect's Ancestor of Revival, Daoist Lord Hanhai, Fang Wuya."
"!!!"
Now it was Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou's turn to be dumbfounded.
The Ancestor of Revival from fifty thousand years ago, Daoist Lord Hanhai!
He was still alive?
Wasn't he said to be only at the Tribulation Transcendence stage?
"No, he's a half-immortal," the Immortal Fairy revealed Daoist Lord Hanhai's true cultivation level.
"I'm busy with my seclusion. What do you want with me?"
Daoist Lord Hanhai was the Dao Seeking Sect's ultimate trump card. Unless the sect faced an existential crisis, he would never make a move.
At least, that had been the case before Yun Zhi joined the Dao Seeking Sect.
After Yun Zhi joined the Dao Seeking Sect, her cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds. Daoist Lord Hanhai felt this junior was promising material, so he offered to give her some pointers.
Immediately after, he was soundly thrashed by Yun Zhi, left foaming at the mouth and sprawled on the ground, unable to get up.
From then on, he resolved to redouble his efforts, prove his dao and ascend to immortality, and reclaim his dignity as the Ancestor of Revival. Thus, he entered seclusion deep within the Dao Seeking Sect.
From that point forward, he vanished completely from the sect's affairs.
"We found a senior whom you might need to meet."
"Oh, which junior?" Fang Wuya asked offhandedly. As the grand Ancestor of Revival, anyone who was a senior to Yun Zhi was still a junior to him.
"This one." Yun Zhi stepped aside, revealing Daoist Xiantian.
"The one we found is the founding patriarch of our sect, Daoist Xiantian, Qi Tongtian."
"Hello, I am Qi Tongtian." Daoist Xiantian was polite as always.
"P-Patriarch?"
Fang Wuya was struck dumb with shock.
Originally, he had held the highest standing in the Dao Seeking Sect, ranking first in both cultivation and seniority.
Then came Yun Zhi, which demoted his cultivation to second place in the Dao Seeking Sect.
And now, to make matters worse, he wasn't even the oldest in seniority anymore.
