Stepping across massive tree stumps, Han Wu and Qin Shuang arrived before the towering structure.
On the plaque, the three words "Sect of the Sealed Gate" appeared even more imposing.
Before they could knock, the great doors opened on their own.
A child of around ten bowed to Han Wu and Qin Shuang, then said, "Are you two here to learn Sealing Techniques?"
Han Wu and Qin Shuang exchanged a glance. Without stating their purpose outright, they nodded.
"Then please follow me into the main hall and see which elder is willing to take you on," the child said.
Along the way, Han Wu asked why the child had opened the doors before they arrived.
Could he foresee the future?
The child burst out laughing. "The moment you entered within ten kilometers of the Sect of the Sealed Gate, someone from the sect had already noticed you. Why do you think the sect was built so high?"
Han Wu found that quite reasonable.
High-end surveillance often used the simplest methods.

"Old Man Fire Aspect, your little scheme is practically hitting me in the face.
