Every Daoist lineage had its own principles.
Dong Zenghong did not think the Spirit-Gathering Formation was bad, but Gugui's strength lay in strategy. Without its own distinctive qualities, if it only knew how to cultivate, what difference would Gugui have from other Daoist Orders?
Thus, the destruction of the Heavenly Mechanism Disk dealt him quite a heavy blow. Fortunately, as Gugui's successor, he could control his emotions fairly well. Someone else might not have been able to bear it.
Gugui did not excel at cultivation... Feng Jun pondered for a moment and roughly understood what he meant.
Although he did not agree with the other man's viewpoint, he asked without revealing anything, "What do you want, then?"
"What do I want?" Dong Zenghong pondered for a moment, then shook his head in distress. "Honestly, I don't know what I should ask for. This really is difficult... If it isn't too much trouble, could you tell me what other choices I might have?"
Feng Jun laughed. "I have plenty of good things, truly plenty. In fact, I don't lack magical treasures at all. It isn't quite what you imagine... But I can't possibly tell you about everything I have."
After pausing, he continued, "I am rather curious, though. You say Gugui does not excel at cultivation. Then can you tell me how old your Patriarch Wang Chan lived to be?"
Dong Zenghong froze for a moment before shaking his head. "The Patriarch certainly succeeded in cultivation, but he was most famous for his strategies."
"You really are wooden-headed," Feng Jun said irritably, shaking his head. "Put it this way: someone old may not necessarily be a great strategist, but someone who cannot live very long will lack experience no matter how strong his strategies are... Strategy and cultivation are not opposites."
