The white cloud passed through space and arrived in the Dragon Arena very soon. The Great Qin Empire obviously sent people to receive them, and they landed in an empty area.
The various organisations, whether it be the Xuanmen Tianzong and the Taixu Temple behind Shi Tianhao and Shi Tianyi, or the other sects and organisations that had come to watch the ceremony, had all been arranged by the Great Qin Empire beforehand.
For example, Xuanmen Tianzong and the Taixu Temple just happened to face each other from afar, one in the east and the other in the west.
Directly north was where the Great Qin Empire sat as the host, while the people who had come to watch the ceremony were scattered around in twos and threes.
The leader of the Taixu Temple was a person who seemed like a child. His expression was tranquil, and his gaze was extremely aged.
However, none of the people present would underestimate him, as they all knew that this person who seemed like a child was actually a member of the Taixu Temple's council of great elders, a central figure of the radical faction, Kuang Heng.
Kuang Heng had already made a name for himself for over ten thousand years. As a matter of fact, before the Xuanlin Taoist and the current temple master of the Taixu Temple, Yan Nanlai, he had experienced two great wars against the Daemons' World.
After the war between the two worlds last time, the then-temple master of the Taixu Temple had retired to the council of great elders due to his injuries. Back then, the two people with the most support for the position of temple master were Yan Nanlai and Kuang Heng.
In the end, Yan Nanlai ascended to the position, and Kuang Heng failed. He also joined the council of great elders.
However, everyone in the know knew that the reason why Kuang Heng had failed was not because he was not as good as Yan Nanlai, but because he belonged to the radical faction, while Yan Nanlai belonged to the conservative faction. Meanwhile, the Taixu Temple had always walked the path of stability.
Kuang Heng was calm. His gaze landed on Lin Feng first. There was no joy or sorrow, and he nodded indifferently in greeting.
Lin Feng faintly smiled, also nodding his head in return.
A middle-aged man stood beside Kuang Heng. He was the Xuanlin Taoist, while a woman in white stood on the other side. She was Exalt Yun Zhan.
Not to mention anything else, just the three of them standing there already gave off an oppressive feeling.
Two third-tier Essence Soul realm experts and one second-tier Essence Soul realm expert. Even the Great Qin Dynasty and the Great Zhou Dynasty would find it difficult to produce such a lineup, let alone the Heavenly Sword Sect, the Northern Militant Royal Court, the Purple Firmament Dao, and the Skypond Sect.
Looking at the current Divine Land, perhaps only the Mount Shu Sword Sect had more experts. However, Kuang Heng and the other two were only a part of the Taixu Temple. Even the entire radical faction had not been mobilized.
Those who had been around for a long time or were well-informed all knew that the actual leader of the radical faction in Taixu Temple was Xuanlin Taoist's Shibo, Kuang Heng's Shifu, Taixu Temple's previous bigwig, Shōichi Dōshin, who was of the same generation as Taiyi Daoist Lord.
It was this old man who had received Xuanlin Taoist and Daoist Lord Yun Zun from the Yu family's ancestral land. However, he had been living in seclusion on Mount White Cloud in recent years. The daily affairs of the radical faction in Taixu Temple had also been entrusted to Kuang Heng and the others.
Taixu Temple had always been secluded from the world. Although it had a great reputation, it always gave many people a surreal feeling. It was only today that they had a better understanding of it.
The Heavenly Sword Sect's Elder Sword Immortal sighed. "Taixu Temple is just a radical faction, but it is stronger than Mount Shu. All the sects in the Divine Land have to thank the conservative faction of Taixu Temple for reining in this fierce horse …"
The Heavenly Sword Sect he came from was actually supported by Taixu Temple to keep Mount Shu Sword Sect in check. Therefore, he knew Taixu Temple better than anyone else.
Everyone present today had arrived. Taixu Temple was like the finale, stealing all the limelight the moment they arrived.
In Xuanmen Tianzong's camp, little fatty Yan Wuwei curled his lips. "What? They're too ostentatious."
Liu Xiafeng shook his head and said, "It's not ostentatious. They have the strength and status, but they clearly know that the dual-pupiled person has committed a blood debt in the past, yet they still accept him as their disciple. This kind of behavior is really despicable. They are really hypocrites."
Before he finished speaking, Zhu Yi, who was sitting in front of him, said lightly, "You can say that Taixu Temple is overbearing and domineering, unable to distinguish right from wrong, but they are not hypocrites."
"Because in this place, whether it's the conservative faction or the radical faction, the code of conduct has never been to follow the path of a gentleman." Zhu Yi did not turn around. With his back facing the group of second generation disciples, he said, "The conservative faction is unrestrained, while the radical faction seeks to rule by force. In this place, the goal has always been clear, and the methods used are disregarded. It has never been the conduct of a gentleman, and they do not flaunt themselves as righteous."
"Once they have a goal, they will unswervingly follow their own path, and they will carry it through to the end. The reputation of the outside world is actually more based on what outsiders say, or in other words, others hope that they are righteous, upright, and virtuous gentlemen."
"Because to outsiders, this is only beneficial to them, and only then can the threat of this behemoth be minimized."
At this point, Zhu Yi suddenly laughed softly. "Too much of the outside world's reputation is like shackles on Taixu Temple. The funny thing is that some of the younger generation of Taixu Temple really fell for it."
"But it's a pity that the big shots who are truly at the helm are not muddle-headed. To be able to reach their position, how could they change themselves because of the voices of outsiders?"
Ever since he knew some of his parents' past, Zhu Yi had put a lot of effort into Taixu Temple, and his understanding was far more thorough than that of ordinary people.
Yan Wuwei shrank his fat neck and did not speak. Liu Xiafeng scratched his head and asked, "But Second Uncle-Master, since this is the case, Taixu Temple, Mount Shu Sword Sect, and Big Leiyin Temple are known as the Three Holy Lands of the Righteous Path in the Divine Land, and the Demonic Path was completely defeated in the Middle Ages."
"According to what you said, what's the difference between the Righteous Path and the Demonic Path? Isn't it simply 'the winner takes all'? History is written by the victors, and the losers are tarnished by others? "
Studying at Yujing Mountain, Liu Xiafeng and the others naturally knew some basic knowledge of the human Cultivation world in great detail.
Facing Liu Xiafeng's doubts, Zhu Yi was not dissatisfied. Instead, he turned his head and nodded slightly to show his approval. "You are right. It is indeed not simply 'the winner takes all'. But the difference between the Righteous Path and the Demonic Path is not as black and white as the world has made it out to be."
"There are thousands of Great Daos, but human nature is always the same."
Liu Xiafeng and the others slowly pondered over Zhu Yi's words. Xiao Yan chuckled and said, "Sit quietly and calm your mind. What's the big deal now? The one who laughs last is the one who laughs best. "
Subconsciously, everyone looked at Lin Feng's back and calmed down. Little fatty Yan Wuwei felt Lin Feng's indifference and slowly lowered his head to the ground. "I was too impetuous."
Lin Feng's back was facing them. His expression did not change. He looked at the people from Taixu Temple who had made the grand entrance and could not help but shake his head and laugh in his heart. "Just as Xiao Yan said, the one who laughs last is the one who laughs best. The higher we stand now, the harder we fall later."
Opposite them, Kuang Heng and the others landed one by one. Behind them stood a group of Taixu Temple disciples in twos and threes. All of them were full of energy and had outstanding cultivation at a young age. Among them was Ding Runfeng, who had a Pure Yang Constitution. However, Bai Xiqian was not among them.
The people from the other forces looked at the young Taixu Temple disciples with envy. "Taixu Temple is indeed a place where geniuses gather."
Even among the many Taixu Temple disciples, a tall young man was the most eye-catching. His expression was calm and his eyes were tightly shut. It was Shi Tianyi.
Those who had seen him before experienced a wondrous feeling when they saw Shi Tianyi again. It was as if this young man was different from before, showing signs of being reborn.
After bowing towards Kuang Heng and the others, Shi Tianyi leapt off the platform and landed in the valley below. He stood there calmly with his hands behind his back.
"My good little brother, you still haven't arrived?" Shi Tianyi's voice rang out into the distance.
The young cultivators in the Dragon Arena stirred slightly. This was the first time Shi Tianyi had taken the initiative to provoke Shi Tianhao with battle intent.
Even after quite a while, Shi Tianhao did not reply.
In the Dragon Arena, streams of power began to exchange. Although everyone said nothing, they all whispered to each other.
The day of the battle had already arrived. Shi Tianyi had already arrived, while the other person fighting Shi Tianhao was nowhere to be seen, which immediately led to a lot of speculation.
Shi Tianyi waited for quite a while before turning his head slightly. "Are you not planning on appearing?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? Is your right eye ready?" A cold voice suddenly rang out from the Xuanmen Tianzong camp.
Instantly, everyone's gaze turned towards Lin Feng and the others. They saw that apart from Lin Feng, everyone else was also looking at a purple-clothed youth with a head full of white hair and an indifferent expression in surprise.
"That's the third disciple under the master of the Gate of Wonders, Wang Lin. He's the one who blinded Shi Tianyi's left eye in the spatial battlefield!"
Those who understood what had happened immediately cried out.
"In the past, when he was still at the late Golden Elixir, he blinded the Yuanying Shi Tianyi. Now that I've heard he's also formed a Nascent Soul, doesn't that mean he's even stronger?"
"Not necessarily. Shi Tianyi has become stronger too. We probably won't know until they fight. However, he really is a vicious person. I heard he killed people in the spatial battlefield with a raise of his hand. The Golden Elixir killed Yuanying people like they were dogs."
In the cultivation world of the Divine Land, Wang Lin could also be said to be a legendary figure. He was an example of a person who did not make a name for himself, but once he did, he would amaze the world.
From the very beginning, when he first became a disciple of Lin Feng, his cultivation progress was the slowest. He was even ridiculed as the only time Lin Feng made a mistake in accepting a personal disciple.
Later on, when he first became famous at the Desolate Sea Assembly, he exploded like a blowout. In just a few months, he rushed from the early Foundation Establishment stage to the early Golden Elixir, shocking everyone.
If Wang Lin did not have any special achievements until now, then in the spatial battlefield, he blinded one of the Yuanying early Yuanying Shi Tianyi with his Golden Elixir cultivation. This made his name spread throughout the Great Heaven Primordial World.
In the end, he, who had always been inconspicuous under Lin Feng, was the first to form a Yuanying, officially becoming a figure that even Primordial Soul Realm powerhouses would look at.
Amidst the discussions in the surroundings, Shi Tianyi's eyes snapped open. He stared at Wang Lin, and the single pupil in his left eye suddenly constricted like a regular person's.
It was this white-haired young man who ended his legend, even blinding the dual pupil he took pride in.
However, it was exactly because of this that he underwent rebirth and took another step forward in strength.
The dual pupil in Shi Tianyi's right eye shone with unprecedented light. A golden haze of light basically filled the entire Dragon Arena. Everything rose and fell in the haze, like a real world.
