Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!

"Hiss... Why is this child suddenly sending so many messages?" Que Qing, the Third Elder of the Cloud Concealment Sect, just finished cultivation and found the Communication Stone flashing incessantly, then heard the sneaky voice of his Direct Disciple.

Encountering a reborn great predecessor in their true terrifying form, and another suspected reincarnated predecessor, who is now actually an Honored Guest Elder of our Sect?

Using the Sect's Secret Divination Technique, but hearing the Honored Guest Elder directly "guiding" into the sea of consciousness and truly sensing the environment of the divination location?

This Honored Guest Elder can even disappear instantly, without using external aids like a Teleportation Talisman, without Spiritual Power fluctuations or needing to use an Instant Teleportation Technique, and can just make a person vanish without a trace?

Even more bizarre, he is actually proficient in the Paperman and Paper Horse Skill?

"Impossible!" Que Qing thought over and over, feeling that no matter which point is taken out, it's absolutely impossible.

A True Disciple can peek into the true body of a reborn great power, which indeed requires such strength. But the problem is that as one of the top ten ancient Sects, the Cloud Concealment Sect has, for so many years, seen no documentation or oral tradition of reincarnation, only legends with no evidence.

You go down the mountain, and just like this, you meet two people from those legendary reincarnations? What's up? Do powerful beings reincarnate and bring along a group for company?

Someone who can use the Paperman and Paper Horse Skill surely has excessive Yin Energy that can't be concealed. How is it possible that a disciple already cultivated to the Nascent Soul Realm did not detect it?

Voices directly entering the sea of consciousness are even more impossible!

I have cultivated for so many years and have never heard of using Secret Techniques to sense the external environment and hear things like the sea breeze brushing through leaves, all that nonsense...

This is trouble! Could it be that my good disciple encountered trouble and went into cultivation deviation?

For so many years, the Cloud Concealment Sect has never recruited any Honored Guest Elder!

Que Qing felt something was amiss, hurriedly tried to contact his disciple using the Communication Stone, but meanwhile, Xie Chenyuan was riding Jiang Yuanzhe's paper crane, flying over the vast sea, missing the connection altogether.

"Sect Leader! There's trouble, a big trouble!" Que Qing couldn't reach his disciple and rushed anxiously to Cang Rui's quiet chamber, slammed the door open, and shouted, "Quick! Open the Dustless Treasure Mirror, I need to hurry and find where my apprentice is!"

Cang Rui looked bewildered, "Third Elder, what's happened to make you so anxious?"

"Ah! Hurry up, will you, that silly kid surely had a cultivation deviation, saying he encountered some reincarnated great predecessor, and also mentioned meeting a Honored Guest Elder from our Sect, all sorts of nonsense clearly indicating a dangerous situation..."

"No, not nonsense. Our Sect indeed just got a Honored Guest Elder. To be precise, I was ordered by the Master to send out a Honored Guest Elder's waist tag, as for reincarnation..." Cang Rui suddenly recalled the mention of meeting Xie Chenyuan, his eyes brightening as he pulled Que Qing to sit down, "Quickly, explain to me in detail what's going on with the reincarnated predecessor!"

Que Qing frowned tightly, "There really is a Honored Guest Elder, surname Jiang? But that doesn't make sense, our Sect's Secret Divination Technique requires a Compass for operation, how could there be direct sensing of sea winds and voices invading the sea of consciousness?"

Cang Rui's eyes brightened even more, "Of course there is! Ancient texts record that by practicing divination to the highest Realm, one can even experience it personally, glimpsing past and future; however, no one has achieved that yet. What's some mere sensing? As for the invasion of the sea of consciousness, you have to tell me about it in detail."

Luckily, Xie Chenyuan was full of questions and was afraid of missing any key points, so he reported everything in detail to his Master. At this time, Que Qing's retelling was also without deviation.

"Ancestor's blessing? Xie Chenyuan truly prayed like that?!" Cang Rui suddenly felt a huge relief.

Though lacking concrete evidence, only one truth can explain so many coincidences—Friend Jiang indeed has returned as the reincarnation of a certain ancestor!

Isn't that the ancestor's blessing?

When a junior appeals for help right in front of him, how could the Sect's ancestor stand by idly? Invading the sea of consciousness to guide and letting him sense the operation strength of a higher Realm Divination Technique, if Xie Chenyuan can seize the opportunity, he may advance further with the guidance!

As for the truly terrifying reincarnated "sister" beside him, it's just as they say, birds of a feather flock together.

Anyone cultivating to be able to reincarnate surely had some interaction or even mutual assistance between ancestors or that great predecessor; now the ancestor's reincarnation helps the "sister" along, which is understandable.

Thus, the uncanny methods of the other party are easily understood, as a reincarnated peak of the Tribulation Crossing Realm, which is just a step away from a True Immortal, wouldn't it be strange if they didn't have a plethora of rare techniques?

Not having extraordinary means would be even more unusual!

"Third Elder, Xie Chenyuan has a great fortune in store for him." Cang Rui was eager to inform the Master of this news, stood up, and said with a smile, "We can't compare at all!

If you're uneasy, go and check the Soul Peace Hall. I assure you that his Soul Lamp is perfectly fine without any dimming. Who knows, Xie Chenyuan might be next to our Sect's Honored Guest Elder, ready to gain more opportunities."

Que Qing was still confused, not understanding why the Sect Leader was so happy, but the suggestion to check the Soul Lamp was quite reliable.

For the disciple's safety when traveling, the Sect's disciples would leave a Soul Lamp, which would dim when danger approaches. It makes no sense to ask the Sect Leader to open the treasure mirror without evidence, so he decided to check the lamp first!

The Soul Peace Hall of the Cloud Concealment Sect is located deep within the Sect, inside a black, solemn, and ancient hall lit with points of light.

"Greetings, Third Elder." The Steward responsible for watching over the Soul Lamps greeted him respectfully, and Que Qing asked directly, "What is the current status of the disciples who are out traveling?"

The Steward replied with a smile, "Currently, there are sixty-nine disciples out traveling who have not returned, and their Soul Lamps are all in good condition.

Just a moment ago, I noticed when inspecting, that your Direct Disciple, Xie Chenyuan's Soul Lamp was burning brightly with a red hue, indicating great fortune; either advancement or enlightenment. Congratulations on mentoring such an outstanding disciple!"

Is it really a great omen?

Que Qing quickly entered the Soul Hall, heading straight for his disciple's Soul Lamp.

And what he saw was incredible!

The flames of the other normal Soul Lamps were pea-sized, with a warm yellow hue that rhythmically flickered slowly; but his good disciple's Soul Lamp was about two inches high, orange-red, jumping joyfully, naturally evoking a sense of happiness when seen.

"The Sect Leader's words are indeed true!" He was finally at ease, yet another thought came to mind.

After relaying his disciple's message to the Sect Leader, nothing much was said, but when it was mentioned "Ancestor's blessing" and the higher Realm State of our Sect's Secret Technique, it was hard not to let one's imagination run wild.

An unexpected and unannounced Honored Guest Elder appeared, with so many coincidences. Could it be... a certain ancestor has returned through reincarnation and met Xie Chenyuan?!

Oh no, it may also be to sever karma, avoiding communication with the Sect as much as possible, but by a stroke of luck, meeting a Sect disciple and wanting to give some guidance...

"Oh my heavens! Why didn't I ever have such a profound fortune!" Que Qing was full of random thoughts, both envious and annoyed.

Even taking a step back, even if it's not an ancestor reincarnate, there's a bona fide reincarnated great predecessor "sister" beside him. With any guidance, it would benefit a lifetime, wouldn't it!

"Chenyuan, oh Chenyuan, you must seize this opportunity, or it will be a lifelong regret." Que Qing hurriedly left the Soul Peace Hall, rode his Flying Sword back to his own quiet chamber, mulled over it, and finally replied to the good disciple, telling him not to let his imagination run wild and to stay beside the great predecessor for good cultivation.

And after Cang Rui conveyed the knowledge to the Master, the old fellow looked up at the sky, still unable to understand it, and after a long silence opened his mouth, "Let it go where it will; if it isn't destined, the old one will come back; if predestined, even darkly watching over is at least our doing a part.

After all, amidst the chaotic times, with him so young and lacking an advantageous aide by his side, how could it be feasible?"
