72: One chapter of water!

Just as the Great Qin Dynasty began its conquest.

Shen Xuansheng of the Jiesheng Sect also began preparing for his Immortal Ascension and the new Luck that would descend upon the world.

Inside the small courtyard.

Shen Xuansheng looked at the messages arriving from all directions, his brow deeply furrowed.

“Could it be that I guessed wrong?”

There were no changes in the Four Major Regions.

In the Eastern Region, the current Great Sects are the Fire God Sect, the Beidou Sect, and the Jiesheng Sect. The remaining Immortal Sects are also under surveillance, and no sudden appearances of Luck have been detected.

The Western Heaven Sect in the West Heaven was the same as before, and so were the other Great Sects.

The Snow God Palace in Northern Abyss also had no Luck descending. However, the Luck of the Snow God Palace was slightly stronger than that of ordinary Great Sects; even the Jiesheng Sect had significantly less Luck compared to it.

The Jiesheng Sect claims to teach without discrimination; any being that meets the Jiesheng Sect's requirements can enter and Cultivate. Therefore, the Jiesheng Sect's Luck is much stronger than that of ordinary Great Sects, but the Snow God Palace's Luck is exceptionally powerful.

“The Snow God Palace's requirements are not only strict, but they only accept a few thousand Disciples each time. Why is their Luck so powerful?” Previously, Shen Xuansheng could not see Luck, but now that his main body is the Lord of the Fortune, he can naturally observe Luck.

Although he couldn't see everything, being able to see a trace was enough to make a judgment.

“No, there are still too few people, especially talents in the field of Luck. Great Qin currently has none.” Shen Xuansheng learned a lot from the Jiesheng Sect Master. In the Imperial Astronomical Bureau of the Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty, there was one person who could move Dragon Veins bare-handed without damaging the terrain in the slightest, and could even observe the location of the world's Dragon Veins—truly Heaven-Defying.

“Feng Shui Master!”

Such Cultivators are called Feng Shui Masters. They Cultivate not the Dao of Immortality, but the Dao of Feng Shui.

They use the Feng Shui of Heaven and Earth as their Cultivation, stealing the power of Heaven and Earth.

“Revered Master said that Feng Shui Masters would seek us out themselves. Because those who Cultivate this Dao inherently steal the power of Heaven and Earth, once they start practicing, they will be plagued by Karmic Obstruction. There is no other way to cleanse it except through Luck, otherwise, such people, upon encountering a Lightning Tribulation, are almost certain to die.”

“Our Great Qin Dynasty has been established for so long, yet I haven't seen anyone come!”

Shen Xuansheng was starting to doubt if what his Revered Master said was true.

Come automatically?

That is truly unbelievable.

“As for the Southern Continent, the Kunlun Sect dominates, and the rest are Small Sects.”

“Aside from the news that the twelve Personal Disciples of the Kunlun Sect have emerged from seclusion, there is no news regarding Luck.”

“Have the Kunlun Twelve Personal Disciples all gone to other places?”

Shen Xuansheng looked at the message in his hand. He suspected that the Kunlun Sect might also know that Great Luck was about to descend upon the world.

These twelve Personal Disciples hadn't left seclusion before, but now they did, and immediately scattered to various places. It was highly likely their intentions were the same as his own.

Shen Xuansheng flipped through the message Jade Slip.

Until he saw a name.

Shen Xuansheng's emotions fluctuated.

“A newly established Sect, proclaiming its doctrines: Karma, Karmic Retribution, Nirvana, and Tranquility?”

“Holy crap!!”

Shen Xuansheng's eyes widened.

He looked again at the Sect's name.

“Tuoshen Institute.”

“Sect Master, Amitabha.”

Shen Xuansheng's already excited mood grew even more agitated, especially when he saw that since the Tuoshen Institute was established, its Disciples already numbered over ten thousand.

Over ten thousand Disciples in just three years?

This is definitely the template for a Protagonist's Sect!

“Three Personal Disciples, all of them Innate Dao Bodies?”

An hour later.

A Disciple appeared before Shen Xuansheng.

Nirvana Origin Realm.

His strength was neither high nor low.

“Greetings, Eldest Senior Brother!” The Disciple immediately bowed respectfully upon seeing Shen Xuansheng.

Throughout the Jiesheng Sect, everyone knew that as long as the Sect Master did not emerge, the commands of the Eldest Senior Brother were virtually equivalent to those of the Sect Master, and not a single Elder in the Sect opposed this.

Shen Xuansheng couldn't do anything about this; the Experts of the Jiesheng Sect were lazier than the last, unwilling to even leave the house, let alone do any work.

Having Sole Control Over Power—he had no choice but to take it!

“What is your name?” Shen Xuansheng asked.

Surprise appeared in the Disciple's eyes, and he replied excitedly: “Eldest Senior Brother, my name is Shui Yizhang, and I come from the Shui Family in the Southern Continent. Although my Family is an Ancient Family, it has declined. When I was Seeking Immortality and the Dao, other Sects saw that I had Family Heritage and wouldn't let me join. Only the Jiesheng Sect was willing to let me enter with my Family Heritage...”

“Stop!!”

Shen Xuansheng stopped Shui Yizhang from continuing.

If he continued, Shui Yizhang would probably spill every detail about himself.

“I'm asking you, is the news about the Tuoshen Institute in the Southern Continent true?” Shen Xuansheng asked.

Shui Yizhang nodded: “It is true.”

“When Eldest Senior Brother instructed us to pay attention to Forces in Various Regions, I notified my Family. The Tuoshen Institute's rise has been extremely rapid. Their Disciples even came to my Family to preach their doctrines.”

“They talk about 'suffering in this life, happiness in the next life'; that desire is the root of suffering, and only by eliminating desire can one enter the Realm of Ultimate Bliss.”

“They say that Cultivating their doctrines can lead to a Realm that transcends life, death, and Reincarnation. This Realm is called Nirvana.”

“Eldest Senior Brother, their words can influence the Divine Soul. Moreover, they highly value background. They reject anyone without a Family Fortune, and joining the Tuoshen Institute requires donating one's entire Family Fortune, which is why their rise has been so rapid.”

“My Family suspects they used some method to influence the Divine Soul. Although my Family has declined, some Cultivation Methods remain, so we were not affected.”

“However, Eldest Senior Brother, my Family said they are currently only targeting Wealthy Families. Those three Personal Disciples were not originally from the Tuoshen Institute, but for some unknown reason, they joined later and became Personal Disciples.”

Listening to Shui Yizhang's words.

Shen Xuansheng's hands began to tremble with excitement.

“It's them!”

“It's definitely them. My guess wasn't wrong.”

“But why is it in the Southern Continent? Why is it called the Tuoshen Institute? Comparatively, the Western Heaven Sect fits the profile better, doesn't it?”

While Shen Xuansheng was puzzled.

Shui Yizhang's Sound Transmission Jade Token lit up: “Eldest Senior Brother, it's my father!”

Shui Yizhang said in surprise: “There must be other news.”

Shen Xuansheng nodded.

Shui Yizhang connected the Sound Transmission Jade Token, and a voice came through: “Son, latest intelligence! The Family discovered people from the Western Heaven Sect have arrived in the Southern Continent, and they went to find the Tuoshen Institute.”

“According to your Second Grandfather, the people the Western Heaven Sect sent this time have strength at least in the Profound Immortal Realm.”

Before Shui Yizhang could speak, Shen Xuansheng took the Sound Transmission Jade Token and said, “Shui Family Head, I am Shen Xuansheng of the Jiesheng Sect.”

“I am Yizhang's Eldest Senior Brother.”

On the other side of the Sound Transmission Jade Token, upon hearing Shen Xuansheng's name, the voice became excited: “Shen Xuansheng? Jie Sheng Sect Eldest Senior Brother?”

“My son is actually with the Jie Sheng Sect Eldest Senior Brother?”

Shen Xuansheng automatically ignored that and said, “Shui Family Head, this Tuoshen Institute is very important to me. Please help me keep an eye on its movements. I will immediately take Shui Yizhang and head over. If there is any danger, send a message immediately. Safety first.”

Shui Family Head's voice came through: “Eldest Senior Brother, please rest assured!”

After the transmission ended, Shen Xuansheng said to Shui Yizhang, “Prepare yourself. We depart for the Southern Continent tomorrow!”

Shui Yizhang: “Yes, Eldest Senior Brother!”

After Shui Yizhang left.

Shen Xuansheng took out his Revered Master's Sound Transmission Jade Token: “Revered Master, return quickly!”

“Brother Sheng! Work has arrived!”
