Miao Shihao looked around. "Aren't Jian Cangtian and Yin Xuantian here? They should have their suspicions too, but they couldn't verify it. "
"Yu Juntian had joined the Taixu Temple for many years. Perhaps he had the intention to verify his suspicions in the past. It's a pity that the Taixu Temple didn't trust him. After so many years, they didn't plan on investing enough resources to let him return to the Mahayana level."
Lin Feng looked at Miao Shihao. "Oh, from what you're saying, Shihao, the Ancient Heavenly Gate was also seen as an unstable or disadvantageous force by the Taixu Temple in the past?"
Miao Shihao's lips curled into a cold smile. "The Ancient Heavenly Gate was the origin of the concept of an unstable force. It was also the first super sect that the Taixu Temple had deemed as an unstable force."
"During the war between the two worlds, the Taixu Temple's extreme conservatives were in power. Their enmity towards the Great Thunderclap Temple stemmed from their attempt to impart Buddhism to the Demon race. However, it wasn't the same for the Heavenly Gate in the last years of the ancient times."
"During that era, the Taixu Temple was at its lowest point, while the Heavenly Gate rose up strongly in the fight against the Ruthless Emperor's tyranny. In the end, they led the heroes of the Divine Land to overthrow the Ruthless Emperor."
"Although the Taixu Temple also participated in the final battle and played an important role, even using the Haotian Mirror, causing the already incomplete Haotian Mirror to be damaged again. However, although the Heavenly Gate gradually recovered its strength, it caused its prestige to decline."
Miao Shihao shook his head. "Back then, if the Heavenly Gate's prestige continued to develop, it would vaguely start to surpass the Taixu Temple. This hurt many people in the Taixu Temple."
"It was then that Jihuang Shenyuan reappeared and unified the Infinite Wilderness Continent. A new war between the two worlds was about to break out."
Miao Shihao said slowly, "The temple master of Taixu Temple, the fourth temple master, Dao Master Chang Yun, made a decision that many Taixu cultivators thought was the best of both worlds. However, many other Taixu Temple cultivators didn't like it."
"This decision was very controversial at the time. In the years that followed, it had a profound and important impact on the entire Taixu Temple."
Miao Shihao's gaze was deep and serene. "In terms of cultivation and strength, not to mention the Taixu Taoist, Wen Chiyang, and Taiyi Daoist Lord, among all the experts of the Taixu Temple, Dao Master Changyun is probably not even in the top ten. However, the influence he has caused is very important."
Lin Feng said calmly, "Design the Heavenly Gates?"
Miao Shihao nodded and said, "On the one hand, he's the founder of the radical conservative ideology of the Taixu Temple."
"On the other hand, starting from him, Taixu Temple took the initiative to plot against the other super forces in the Divine Land to buy time for Taixu Temple and the Haotian Mirror."
"Actually, there were precedents before this." Miao Shihao recalled and said, "The earliest origin of this line of thought, in fact, originated from Lord Scarlet Sun."
"However, the difference is that Dao Master Scarlet Sun sacrificed himself to buy a chance to kill Jihuang Shenyuan for Yan Xinghe, the Haotian Mirror, and Xia Fangyu. Previously, he was also the one who held up the sky and guarded the Divine Land. Most of the time, he paid the price of getting injured to buy time for the Haotian Mirror to recover. If he could avoid using the Haotian Mirror, he would try his best not to delay the recovery of the Haotian essence."
Miao Shihao continued, "However, after that, the situation gradually began to change."
"In the battle to depose the King Of The Underworld, Yan Xinghe died, and the Haotian Mirror was also severely damaged after killing the King Of The Underworld. It was far from being perfect. The successor, the third generation of Taixu Temple's Temple Master, Du Yunge, joined forces with the Ancient Emperor. After a long discussion with the Ancient Emperor, they came to an agreement. The Ancient Emperor would temporarily bear the pressure from Tianhuang Mainland and buy time for Taixu Temple and the Haotian Mirror to recuperate."
Lin Feng listened quietly and did not interrupt. Miao Shihao continued, "In the end, although the Haotian Mirror still could not recover to its peak, it recovered a lot of its power. In the war between the two worlds, although Du Yunge died, it still joined forces with the Ancient Emperor to kill the Saint Emperor of the Demon Clan."
"However, after that, the Ancient Emperor was seriously injured and killed by the Ruthless Emperor. The Ruthless Emperor began to wreak havoc in the Divine Land. Dao Master Changyun, who took over as the fourth generation's Temple Master, finally chose to defend White Cloud Mountain. Taixu Temple was almost sealed off. That could be said to be the most low-key and humiliating period in the entire history of the Taixu Temple."
"However, in Dao Master Changyun's opinion, it was a wise decision to endure the humiliation for a while in exchange for time for the Haotian Mirror to recover and finally join forces with the Heavenly Gate to kill the Ruthless Emperor."
Miao Shihao's voice was a little faint. "Daoist Master Scarlet Sun sacrificed himself to fight the Extreme Emperor's Divine Abyss. If not for Emperor Xia's selfishness, the Extreme Emperor's Divine Abyss would not have survived."
"Buying time with the Ancient Emperor, waiting for the Haotian Mirror to recover its power and kill the Demon Emperor at that time, winning the war between the two worlds."
"Temporarily sealing off the mountain and letting the other forces in the Divine Land bear the pressure from the Ruthless Emperor, waiting for the Haotian Mirror to recover its power and finally kill the Ruthless Emperor."
"These successful experiences in the eyes of Dao Master Changyun and some other cultivators of the Taixu Temple finally prompted them to make a further decision, a decision that was undoubtedly the right one."
Lin Feng said lightly, "As long as the result is good, the process doesn't matter. As long as the final benefit is greater than the previous sacrifice, then the sacrifice is worth it."
"However, from self-sacrifice, to actively negotiating with others, to doing things on their own, to ignoring others' opinions, and finally to actively planning and sacrificing others."
"As for whether others are willing to be sacrificed, and whether they can bear the price of the sacrifice, it is not within their consideration."
"As for who should be sacrificed, and who should not be sacrificed, it is up to them."
Miao Shihao said, "The Dao of the Heavenly Gate seeks to use one's own Dao to bear the weight of all Daos in the world. One Dao gives birth to all Daos, and one Dao gives birth to all Daos. They also dabble in many Daos of the Demon Clan, and they even try to raise many Demon Clans. At the same time, they contact some Demon Clans that do not participate in the war between the two worlds, such as the Phoenix Clan and the Divine Wutong Clan."
"And because of their strong rise, Heaven Emperor Kong and the Heavenly Gate were originally feared by the Taixu Temple. Naturally, they became even more hostile to the Taixu Temple. The concept of an unstable force was born for the first time."
"After the Ruthless Emperor was deposed, the war between the two worlds broke out soon after. Jihuang Shenyuan returned to the Divine Land, and his first target was the White Cloud Mountain that caused him to return in failure in the past."
Miao Shihao had a slightly mocking look on his face. "And the Taixu Temple's response was to put up an all-out defense, and at the same time, they only did one small thing."
Lin Feng looked at him, and Miao Shihao continued, "During the war between the two worlds, amidst the chaos, they found an opportunity to lure Heaven Emperor Kong's daughter and Jihuang Shenyuan's son together. In the end, Heaven Emperor Kong's only daughter died at the hands of Jihuang Shenyuan's son, Sheng Tianlingji."
"Although Heaven Emperor Kong, who received the news, rushed over at top speed, it was a pity that he was still a step too late. In the end, Heaven Emperor Kong killed Sheng Tianlingji, and this led to a battle to the death with Jihuang Shenyuan."
"In the end, both sides fought a bloody battle. The Heavenly Gate was destroyed, and Heaven Emperor Kong perished. Even the Primordial Ancient Star Ocean's Domain Passageway was affected and shattered, splitting into six." Miao Shihao shook his head. "At that time, the Heavenly Gate was said to have reached its peak, but it was actually still in a stage of rapid development. In the future, there was hope for it to reach even greater heights. However, after that battle, it almost disappeared."
"On the other hand, the Void Temple didn't suffer too much of a blow in that war between two worlds. Moreover, after entering the middle era, it successfully passed through its greatest trough in history, beginning to once again recover its former glory."
Miao Shihao sighed. "During the last years of the Primordial Ancient Era and the beginning of the Middle era, there was actually a lot of controversy regarding Dao Lord Chang Yun's actions within the Taixu Temple, but …"
Lin Feng's expression was calm as he continued, "However, following the Middle era, the Haotian Mirror finally regained its full potential and assisted Wen Chiyang in killing Jihuang Shenyuan. More and more people began to feel that Dao Lord Chang Yun's choice back then was the right one."
Miao Shihao nodded. "Although, if Dao Lord Red Sun had not returned to the Divine Land with the power of the Netherworld Sea, the final outcome would have been different, and Jihuang Shenyuan might have broken through the White Cloud Mountain. However, more and more people within the Taixu Temple began to feel that no matter what, Dao Lord Chang Yun had preserved vitality and hope for the Taixu Temple and the Divine Land."
"Therefore, before that, perhaps the method of identifying unstable forces and disadvantageous forces and trying to throw them into the war between the two worlds to deplete the Demon Clan's power was still controversial and had not become the norm. However, after that, this became the usual practice of the Taixu Temple. There was no exception in every war between the two worlds."
"If unstable forces were depleted in the war between the two worlds, there would naturally be no need to continue observing them after the war. For example, the Ancient Heavenly Gate."
"If unstable forces were not depleted in the war between the two worlds, then they would continue observing them after the war. For example, the Great Tempest Temple after the war in the Upper Realm."
"If unfavorable forces could be eliminated as soon as possible and not affect the war between the two worlds, then they would be eliminated directly. For example, the current King Of The Underworld and the Underworld Hall, as well as some demonic sects from the Middle Ages, and possibly the Great Tempest Temple in recent years."
"If unfavorable forces could not be eliminated temporarily, then they would also try to throw them into the war between the two worlds to deplete the Demon Clan's power. After the war, they would be eliminated while they were weak. For example, the number one sacred ground of the demonic path in the Middle Ages, the Primordial Devil Cult."
Miao Shihao continued, "During the Middle Ages, the Youhuang Heavenly Sea began to rise. Although it had yet to reach its peak, it had already displayed a terrifying might. And the Haotian Mirror was once again severely damaged in the battle to kill Jihuang Shenyuan. Hence, during the war between the two worlds, the Primordial Devil Cult was schemed against by the Taixu Temple."
"In the end, the Primordial Devil Lord Jiang Zhaoyang died in battle. The Primordial Devil Cult's legacy treasure, the Primordial Golden Ship of fortune, was completely destroyed. Many experts of the Primordial Devil Cult also died in battle."
"Unfortunately, the Taixu Temple did not expect that the Primordial Devil Cult's supreme divine ability, the Primordial Heart Demon Dispel Curse, was truly profound and unfathomable. Jiang Zhaoyang was actually reborn. Although his vitality was greatly damaged, he was still the number one expert of the human race in the Divine Land."
"In the end, during the decisive battle that ended the Middle Ages, the Taixu Temple had no choice but to use the Haotian Mirror. They used all their strength to kill Jiang Zhaoyang. The Haotian Mirror, which had not recovered to its peak, had its recovery time greatly extended. It only recovered to its peak not long before the war between the two worlds in the Modern Era."
Miao Shihao continued, "If it wasn't for the fact that the Youhuang Heavenly Sea's backyard was also on fire in the Tianhuang Wasteland Continent in the early years of the Modern Era, the Zhen Hou Clan and some other demon races challenged the authority of the Youhuang Heavenly Sea under the leadership of the Zhen Hou Clan's leader, Bolin Wangtian, the Youhuang Heavenly Sea would have immediately set foot in the Divine Land and history would have been rewritten."
After listening, Lin Feng nodded slightly. His eyes were slightly closed, and there was a faint cold glint in them. "Shihao, you just said that I, Xuanmen Tianzong, might have been determined by the Taixu Temple to be an unstable force or even an unfavorable one?"
