On the other side, Ye Long, having learned about Fengshui already, knew that asking about another of his paths would paint his own path too much like that of the Tortoise Daoist.
So instead, he asked about the Water Control Spell.
The senior told him about a technique to learn the spell easier – diving into deep waters where the pressure was higher would allow one to break through the comprehension at higher stages.
His question was answered, so the barrier around him popped, leaving him open to others.
He saw that many cultivators had also received their answer, his master was also done.
Minutes passed before everyone completed their questions.
Once done, the Tortoise Daoist stood up, "This was the last questionnaire! I will leave soon!
I just hope that after I leave, the cultivators at the third stage will still teach those lower than themselves.
Please disperse now.
And I hope my Fellow Daoists reveal themselves!"
When they heard this, all cultivators were shocked. But hearing the latter part, they realised that even if they wanted to stop it, it was likely already a done decision.
So instead, they bowed and even knelt to the senior, thanking him from the bottom of their hearts.
One cultivator after another left, and gradually, they realised that two cultivators remained –
Fu Xian and Ye Long. Both their questions were more profound than that of others, so people didn’t forget them.
Seeing they stayed, the cultivators were shocked that among them, two people deserving the title "Fellow Daoist" were among them!
At the sa ti, Gui Zen, looking at them, was equally confused –
His calculations, the divination, everything pointed that there was only one person... how co there were two?
...
Ti passed and once everyone left, a silence descended.
Fu Xian smiled and cupped his hand, "Senior Gui, it’s been many years.
Now that I have broken through, I realise that what I knew before was only a part of you."
He raised his hand and reached to his face and body, pulling out the talismans concealing his appearance.
"Fu Xian!" Gui Zen exclaid in shock, especially when he saw his cultivation.
"You’ve reached the third stage so soon?!"
"Haha, senior, wasn’t it you that told to enter the Immortal City?"
"Immortal City? You an the Azure Clouds Nine Islands Immortal City? Have you truly entered it?
Indeed, indeed, I have recomnded you to try it out... but I never thought you would be able to truly enter it!" a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"Haha, it’s like this. Oh, and this is Ye Long, my disciple."
Ye Long bowed to Gui Zen and moved to Fu Xian’s side, not saying much.
"But senior, may I ask, how did you know I ca?"
Gui Zen was perplexed – today was truly the auspicious sign he had waited!
Nonetheless, since only these two, or rather only Fu Xian remained, then it was likely the opportunity he had waited for.
"A thousand years ago, I travelled far and wide and finally settled in this small kingdom intending to find resources to cultivate further.
When I first ca here, I was at the early-stage of the fourth stage.
I thought that cultivation resources would abound and that I would soon find what I need to achieve success.
Before, I tried entering other kingdoms, but every ti I divined, I only got inauspicious signs. Only this kingdom had a small auspicious sign.
Naturally auspicious signs don’t an the auspiciousness are for –
So instead, I build this Fortune Gathering Formation based on my Longevity Tortoise Beast Transformation and my companion beast, the Green Mountain Tortoise!" he tapped his legs on the ground.
The mountain which had been still for so long suddenly trembled slightly!
"Beast companions? This!!!" Fu Xian was shocked!
He looked at the ground below him, so... this was a real tortoise all along?!
Gui Zen continued to explain, "Over the years, I have used the exchange of questions and answers to gather the fortune of rogue cultivators around and plumted everything into my formation.
Several tis there were cases where my fortune was used – these opportunities helped to advance from one stage to another.
It was only when I was at the late stage that I stopped using my fortune and instead concentrated it on finding a way to reach higher cultivation.
I have helped many cultivators like you, hoping you would be the key!
Now you are the only to return..."
"Haha, senior, it seems your investnt was right!" Fu Xian laughed aloud.
"Divining and cultivating in this kingdom for a thousand years, senior, you have strong perseverance and many ans!
Today I returned for no other matter than to invite you to the immortal city!"
This ti, a look of great shock appeared on Gui Zen’s face!
He guessed it would have sothing to do with the city, but he thought he might only get an entry into the trial – even this entry stopped most cultivators!
Now he got a direct invitation?
He couldn’t believe it an asked again, "Fu Xian, are you sure you an an invitation to the immortal city? Don’t you an an entry token?"
"No, no, senior, it’s like this. I entered a neighbourhood as a reserve mber and when I advanced, I beca a full-fledged mber.
Coincidentally, my eldest senior sister broke through just a few weeks later. She is now at the fifth stage and beca the second neighbourhood leader.
Because of this, the neighbourhood has decided to expand, and I, a junior brother, gained a few quotas to invite cultivators into the neighbourhood.
I instantly thought of your help and wanted to invite you!
Now senior has reached the peak, probably not far away from the fifth stage either!
If you break through alone you can directly open a sect and stablish a force.
Breaking through in the Immortal City will stop you from doing so.
Regardless of senior’s choice, I will give this invitation today. If you don’t want it, you can give it to an elder of the sect in the future..." just as Fu Xian described it, he saw the senior raise his hand.
"No, why would I want to make a sect? I want to join!"
