When Qi Tian usually interacted with other cultivators, the Heavenly Dao Engine would often stir with a certain attraction towards them, but it was always suppressed by Qi Tian. Qi Tian could accept using the bodies of dead cultivators as fuel for the Heavenly Dao Engine, but he could never accept using a living person as fuel.
When the Heavenly Dao Engine realized that Qi Tian wouldn't allow it to use living people as fuel, it stopped causing any fluctuations towards them. However, now, Qi Tian needed to utilize its perception towards living beings, so the Heavenly Dao Engine started to function on its own accord.
Qi Tian didn't have much time. He had to act quickly. As soon as the Heavenly Dao Engine started to fluctuate, he would follow the feelings it conveyed to him and move his feet. His senses were all muddled by the Chaos Mist Array, but the feelings conveyed by the Heavenly Dao Engine were always right. Without wasting much time, he found the first indigenous cultivator.
