Founding a Sect

The old chess player recalled the past, then sighed repeatedly, saying "difficult, difficult, difficult" several times.

The difficulties here are unimaginable.

Cultivation was not as difficult for cultivators back then; they were often limited by lifespan.

The difficulty of ascending to the Seeking Dao Mountain is as difficult as climbing to heaven.

The heavy restrictions were entirely due to the loss of the cultivator's fortune and Spiritual Qi energy, which greatly affected the cultivator's lifespan.

The influence of fate affects every aspect of life, which is why cultivation is so difficult.

Just like the destiny of the Human Race, if this destiny is taken away, the Human Race dynasty will encounter many setbacks and begin to decline.

The affected people will suffer poor harvests and other misfortunes as a result.

This demonstrates the importance of luck and fortune.

"Although it's been difficult, at least the fortunes of cultivators have begun to recover somewhat, and the fortunes of cultivators in the Great Qian have also accumulated considerably."

"However, if a cultivator's fortune is taken away again, they may truly face annihilation."

The Fishing Old Man frowned as he spoke of this.

The old Daoist priest, who was playing chess, was taken aback upon hearing this. His chess piece remained suspended in mid-air for a long time before he made his move.

After a long silence, he finally sighed softly, "When that time truly comes, cultivators will truly become legends, and there will be no more cultivators in the world."

"Moreover, as a result, ordinary people will lose their protection and become livestock raised by the Demon Race race, who can easily seize a dynasty."

The fortune of cultivators is now as thin as air, invisible and intangible.

If even this small bit of luck is taken away, then the cultivator's path of cultivation will be completely cut off.

The Fishing Old Man knew the importance of this matter, but then sighed.

Even if I know, I can't simply tell the other person.

Besides, so much time has passed since that incident, who knows if it will ever happen again.

For a moment, the group of people looked at each other in silence.

"I've been here for who knows how many years. When that time comes, you gentlemen shouldn't try to beat me to it."

The Fishing Old Man didn't say what he was robbing, but everyone else immediately understood what he meant.

Back then, their fortune was stolen, and in order to prevent cultivators' fortune from being completely taken away and their path of cultivation from being cut off, they took precautions.

Several people sacrificed themselves to preserve their last bit of luck.

However, in doing so, they were imprisoned in this place for all eternity, unable to leave, in order to preserve the last bit of their cultivation destiny.

The Fishing Old Man's words implied that he was willing to reveal heavenly secrets and withstand the Lightning Tribulation to be reduced to ashes in exchange for the cultivator's last glimmer of life.

Upon hearing this, the old chess player, the shepherd boy, the old woman raising silkworms, and the others remained silent.

It seemed like an admission, or perhaps a dismissive scoff at the statement, with no intention of agreeing at all.

Have you all finished your cultivation, fellow cultivators?

The next day.

Fang Zelin smiled as he saw his fellow Daoists open their eyes.

Seeing their radiant appearance, it's likely that their cultivation has improved.

Upon hearing this, the other cultivators immediately responded, "Yes, we still owe a great deal to you in our cultivation endeavors!"

Although Yunzi did not enter the Seeking Dao Mountain last night, he knew that his disciples had.

Except for one person, everyone else went inside.

This quantity greatly surprised her, and thinking of it, she naturally felt grateful for Fang Zelin's advice.

Upon hearing this, Fang Zelin assumed the other party was referring to the matter of protecting the Dao, and waved his hand, saying, "It's nothing."

"It was nothing."

Upon hearing this, Wu Qing's disciples all showed a hint of astonishment, followed by a solemn expression.

The senior is indeed a senior; guiding them into the path is merely a matter of lifting a finger.

They didn't think Fang Zelin was exaggerating when he said that.

After all, they did actually enter the Seeking Dao Mountain last night, which already speaks volumes.

Just based on this one point, you can already see how remarkable this senior is.

Thinking of this, they couldn't help but glance at Zhenke beside them, a hint of envy showing in their eyes.

This fellow Daoist is truly blessed to have the opportunity to gain experience alongside his senior.

By following a senior and receiving even a few pointers from them, one can enter the Seeking Dao Mountain.

Such a good thing would be very welcome to any cultivator!

As Zhenke's fellow Daoist had previously stated, she had already received guidance from her senior four times!

Adding yesterday's incident, that makes five times!

Yesterday, they met Fellow Zhenke at the Seeking Dao Mountain and entered the Seeking Dao Mountain together.

Even with their own State of Mind, they couldn't help but feel extremely envious when they thought about this.

Upon hearing this, Yunzi was also taken aback for a moment, and then felt that the fellow Daoist in front of him truly had a kind of awe-inspiring presence.

She is now a master of a sect, but in terms of guiding her disciples in cultivation, she is far inferior to this Fellow Daoist Fang.

I've heard that Fellow Daoist Fang in front of me hasn't taken on any disciples yet.

She had taken in so many disciples, and after comparing them, she felt a little ashamed.

"Judging from your cultivation, fellow Daoist, it is indeed unfathomable. I wonder when you plan to establish your own sect and recruit disciples?"

Thinking of this, Yunzi opened his lips and softly asked, "If you are going to establish a sect, would you please let us know in advance so we can go and offer our congratulations?"

Upon hearing this, Zhenke also became interested, and her bright eyes quickly turned to Fang Zelin.

Upon hearing this, Fang Zelin waved his hand and said with a smile, "That's still a long way off. My own cultivation is not yet up to par, how can I possibly take on disciples? I'll only consider it after my temperament has been tempered and my virtue is flawless."

"Otherwise, rashly accepting disciples might mislead them."

Fang Zelin is not currently planning to recruit disciples, but Fang Zelin may have no problem guiding some younger people in their cultivation.

However, for cultivators, cultivation is not the primary concern; rather, moral character is of paramount importance.

Fang Zelin felt that he needed to cultivate himself more, refine his temperament and virtue, and learn more from his fellow Daoists.

We'll only consider this matter after we've confirmed there are no problems.

Otherwise, if he takes in disciples but his own character is flawed, and the disciples follow his example, then he would truly be misleading them.

This matter was too important for Fang Zelin to be negligent.

Therefore, they have been hesitant to recruit disciples.
