Dao Master Cloudzun looked at Shi Tianyi and sighed inwardly. To be honest, Shi Tianyi's calamity had something to do with her. The reason she entered the void battlefield was to escort Shi Tianyi.
However, no one had expected that Wang Lin would be so fierce, and Lin Feng was here as well.
"Follow me," Dao Master Cloudzun said and led the way out of the cave abode. Shi Tianyi followed behind her calmly.
Both of them walked on White Cloud Mountain. The mountain path was shrouded in clouds, and they could only see a radius of less than ten meters. They could not see anything further.
Shi Tianyi did not look sideways. From the first day he arrived at White Cloud Mountain, he already had some understanding of this. Back then, he had even used his left eye to investigate, but he found that he could not see through it at all. It was not that the power of his left eye was too weak, but rather that his cultivation level was too low.
At the thought of this, Shi Tianyi's left eye flickered, and he felt a dull pain in his pupil again.
His eyelids drooped slightly as he calmed his mind and followed behind Dao Master Cloudzun.
As they walked, Dao Master Cloudzun suddenly came to a stop. Shi Tianyi stopped behind her and looked forward. He saw a man in green slowly walking out of the clouds.
The man was not old, looking about twenty to thirty years old. He looked calm.
He had an ordinary body, appearance, and temperament. No matter how one looked at him, he was just an ordinary person.
He stopped in front of Dao Master Cloudzun, bowed, and said, "Uncle-Master Cloudzun."
Then, he looked at Shi Tianyi, who was behind Dao Master Cloudzun, and nodded slightly. "Junior Brother Shi."
His voice was also very ordinary, very ordinary. It was not hoarse and deep, not loud and clear, not ear-piercing, and not pleasant to the ear.
However, there was a profound truth in it that all things returned to their true nature, and the Great Dao was the simplest.
It was Shi Tianyi's first time seeing him, but when he thought about the way he addressed Dao Master Cloudzun, he recognized him almost immediately.
Among the disciples of his generation, only one person could have such an elegant demeanor.
The current World Wayfarer of the Taixu Temple, the Eldest Senior Brother of Yan Mingyue, Pang Jie, and Shi Tianyi, was Lin Daohan.
He was the flag of the younger generation of the Taixu Temple. If there were no accidents, he would be a super genius who would take over the Taixu Temple in the future.
He was the youngest Yuanying cultivator recorded in the human cultivation world of the Divine Land. However, he had been a disciple of the Taixu Temple since he was young and devoted himself to learning Dao. He rarely went out. The Taixu Temple also kept a low profile and protected him, so few people knew about him.
But in the inner circle of Taixu Temple, Lin Daohan's name resounded like thunder, and everyone knew him.
He was the only one among the younger generation of Taixu Temple disciples who could attend the core meeting. Just this fact alone was enough to explain everything.
Silently looking at Lin Daohan, Shi Tianyi Slowly bowed and said, "Senior Brother Lin."
Dao Master Cloudzun looked at Lin Daohan, then at Shi Tianyi, and asked, "Dao Han is now a World Wayfarer. Why did you suddenly return?"
Lin Daohan answered calmly, "I've just returned from the Vast Land of Infinite Wasteland. There are some new movements in the Demon Realm, and I'm about to report them to the Temple Master. Are you interested in listening, Uncle-Master Cloudzun?"
Dao Master Cloudzun shook his head slowly and said, "Just go ahead. I still have something to do with Tianyi."
Lin Daohan nodded and bade farewell to the two. Then, they walked past each other.
Before they parted, Dao Master Cloudzun suddenly asked, "Dao Han, what do you think of Xuanmen Tianzong?"
Lin Daohan stopped and thought for a moment before answering, "I can't see through him."
After a pause, he added, "I thought I had seen through him, but I found out later that I was wrong."
His expression was calm as he admitted his mistake without any hesitation.
Dao Master Cloudzun nodded and fell into silence. Suddenly, a pair of bright eyes shone from the white clouds, filled with a myriad of emotions. Silently, a voice said, "How long are you going to indulge that Lin Feng?"
Then, Xuanlin Taoist slowly walked out from the white clouds.
Surrounded by the white clouds, Lin Daohan's face looked a little unreal. "The rise of the Master of the Celestial Sect is not necessarily a bad thing for the overall strength of the human cultivation world in the Divine Land."
"You conservatives are stuck in your ways, sticking to the rules. You seem to be balancing all the forces and preserving the vitality of the human race, but in fact, you are just temporarily suppressing the conflicts." Silently, Xuanlin Taoist said, "What should break out will break out sooner or later, and it will be even more intense. You use the world as a chess piece, and in the end, you will only transfer the conflict and anger to the Taixu Temple."
"If that is the case, why don't you take the initiative to attack? Even if there is a temporary pain, the power of the Divine Land will only become stronger after the unification, and it will be better than the scattered sand now. "
Lin Daohan's voice was calm, and it seemed a little ethereal as it came through the white clouds. "The first priority is to defend against the demons. This is the instruction left by the founding ancestor of the Taixu Temple. Why did he leave such an instruction?"
"Because he lived through the primordial era that was the darkest for the human race, an era that you, Uncle-Master Xuanlin, and I have never experienced. The human race was at the bottom of the world, enslaved by the demons. We had no freedom or dignity, and human lives were worth less than grass."
"In order to prevent history from repeating itself, our Taixu Temple has been in seclusion for countless years, monitoring Infinite Wasteland Continent." Lin Daohan said calmly, "Let's not talk about success or failure if we act according to your guidelines, but it is destined to be a long process."
"During this process, if there is any movement in the Demon Realm, the civil strife in the human world caused by us will be beyond redemption."
Lin Daohan and Xuanlin Taoist looked at each other Silently.
"In the end of the primordial era, after the war between the two worlds, the power of the ancient emperor declined, and he was killed by the Ruthless Emperor. After that, many forces united to depose and kill the Ruthless Emperor, but this caused the power of the Divine Land to be greatly damaged, and we lost the war. The Desolate Ancient Star Sea is still controlled by the demons to this day."
Lin Daohan's tone was still calm. "The past is still fresh in our minds, and the Ruthless Emperor is right in front of us. Uncle-Master Xuanlin, please reconsider."
Being contradicted by Lin Daohan, Xuanlin Taoist was not angry, and his emotions did not change at all. In fact, even if they had different opinions, he admired the young man in front of him.
"In the primordial era, why could the human race overthrow the demons and rise in the Great Heaven Primordial World? It was because of the concentration of power and clear leadership. " Xuanlin Taoist said lightly, "Under the rule of the Human Sovereign, thousands of powers are gathered in one person. If the thoughts of the Sovereign deviate slightly, it is possible that they will go to extremes."
"But the Taixu Temple is different. Here, even the temple master cannot act arbitrarily."
Hearing this seemingly meaningful sentence, Lin Daohan slightly lowered his eyes and replied Silently, "Uncle-Master, you just said that the Way of Heaven is constant, but people's hearts are fickle."
When it was really lonely at the top, who could guarantee that they would still maintain their original intentions?
Xuanlin Taoist looked at Lin Daohan and said lightly, "We cultivate and understand the Way of Heaven, but we do not want to merge with the world. We want to transcend the world. I am still me. If I cannot grasp my original heart, how can I cultivate?"
"We cultivators have an eternal heart of Taoism. Because of this, the eternal heart of Taoism means that our original heart is also eternal." Lin Daohan's voice was a little faint. "Never satisfied, always looking forward, always longing for more. That is who we are."
"That is who we are."
Lin Daohan shook his head. A faint smile suddenly appeared on his expressionless face. "The heart of Taoism remains unchanged, but the original heart is indulged. How many people have truly grasped it since ancient times?"
The opposition between the conservative and radical factions of the Taixu Temple did not only exist in the line of thought.
He cupped his fist at Xuanlin Taoist and Dao Master Yunzheng, then nodded at Shi Tianyi and turned to leave.
During the brief conversation between Lin Daohan and Xuanlin Taoist, Dao Master Yunzheng and Shi Tianyi stood quietly at the side, not interrupting. When they saw Lin Daohan turn and leave, Shi Tianyi's eyes flickered as he watched the green-robed figure slowly disappear into the white clouds.
Whether it was him, Marquis Jinghuan Liang An, or the others, the ultimate goal of the radical faction of the Taixu Temple was that seemingly ordinary young man.
Shi Tianyi retracted his gaze and exhaled softly. "First is my good brother, then Wang Lin, and then the others..."
Xuanlin Taoist and Dao Master Yunzheng gave him an indifferent look and nodded together.
The battle with Wang Lin had dealt a blow to the momentum that Shi Tianyi had been cultivating for many years, but it had also made him more composed in terms of willpower, and he had successfully transformed.
As long as he could defeat Shi Tianhao in the Ancient Heavenly Dragon Domain, the transformation would be complete, and he would be able to reach a higher level.
Dao Master Yunzheng cupped his fist at Xuanlin Taoist and left. Xuanlin Taoist did not say anything and continued to lead Shi Tianyi forward. They came to a cave abode, and as soon as they entered, they saw two people sitting opposite each other.
One of them was not a real person, but a projection of his energy. It was obvious that he was a guest, but he was sitting in the main seat.
However, his body was completely wrapped in a white cloud, making it hard to see him clearly.
Silently, he sat there, surrounded by two streams of energy, one Yin and one Yang, one black and one white, as if they were the two poles of heaven and earth.
He was the current Temple Master of the Taixu Temple, Yan Nanlai.
The person sitting opposite Yan Nanlai was a little boy, but his expression was serene, and his eyes were filled with the vicissitudes of life.
When Shi Tianyi saw the boy, he immediately bowed and said, "Master."
This child-like person was Shi Tianyi's personal master after he entered the Taixu Temple, Kuang Heng.
He was of the same generation as Yan Nanlai and Xuanlin Taoist, and like Xuanlin Taoist, he was a member of the Supreme Elders Council of the Taixu Temple. He was a third-tier Nascent Divinity expert, and he had attained the Dao before Xuanlin Taoist.
After Shi Tianyi bowed to Yan Nanlai and Kuang Heng, Kuang Heng said coolly, "Stand aside and listen."
He looked like a child, but his voice was extremely old. When put together, it gave off a strange, distorted feeling that was extremely uncoordinated.
At Kuang Heng's cultivation base, his Nascent Divinity had fused with the Dao, and he was almost completely detached from heaven and earth. His every move should be harmonious.
But Kuang Heng was the exact opposite. The tearing and distorted feeling was everywhere, but if one took a closer look, they would find an almost perfect harmony within it. It was a very mysterious feeling.
After Xuanlin Taoist took his seat, Kuang Heng looked at Yan Nanlai, who was hidden among the clouds, and said coolly, "During the Sword Meet on Tianzhi Peak, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Profound Gate Master, Lin Feng, had a pattern of black and white mixed with Yin and Yang on his forehead. What do you think, Temple Master?"
