Recalling

Lord Daoist Jinghe's remark also had some other hidden meanings.

A hunch, whether it was good or ominous, wasn't something that any random person could sense. A cultivator was on a journey and happened to run into another cultivator—could he sense whether the next thing that other cultivator experienced would be good or bad? 

Of course, he couldn't. First of all, to be able to sense such hunches, cultivators must've reached a certain cultivation level. Secondly, there must be some connections between the cultivator who sensed the hunch and the cultivator whom the hunch was about. And in the end, the nature of those connections had never been too certain. In general, they should be quite closely related to each other.
