The first thing that appeared in front of Lin Feng was a white cloud. The cloud trembled slightly, then parted to the sides, revealing a human figure. He had a head of long black hair, but his temples were as white as snow. From his appearance, he looked to be in his twenties or thirties.
He was the current head of Taixu Temple, Yan Nanlai.
He was situated in the middle of the white cloud, and two streams of air, one black and one white, continuously revolved around him.
Lin Feng looked at Yan Nanlai. The two of them stared at each other in silence, neither of them saying a word.
Although they did not converse like before, when the projection appeared, Lin Feng was very clear in his heart what the appearance of Yan Nanlai's projection represented.
He wanted to be the number one ancestor in history, to establish the number one sect in history. There was a huge mountain that he could never avoid, and that was the most powerful sect in the history of the Divine Land, Taixu Temple.
Because Taixu Temple's internal conservative faction was in power, they determined that Taixu Temple would avoid the world and keep a low profile. Even though they were used to using the world as a chess piece and were not aloof from worldly affairs, there were still many people who intentionally or unintentionally overlooked the strength of the human race's number one holy land.
At the level of people like Lin Feng, Stonefeather, Xin Longsheng, and Liang Pan, they naturally would not look down on Taixu Temple. However, there were many lower level cultivators who could not see it so clearly.
Not to mention anything else, just within Lin Feng's own Xuanmen Tianzong, there were some new foundation disciples who were quite disdainful towards Taixu Temple: "Taixu Temple wants to be the boss? What are they?"
But in reality, it was not that Taixu Temple wanted to be the boss. Rather, this sect had always been the boss of the human race's cultivation world in the Divine Land, and had been the boss for tens of thousands of years.
This was not to boost the opponent's morale and diminish one's own prestige. Only by knowing oneself and knowing the enemy, and facing the opponent's strength, could one discuss how to surpass them.
Lin Feng had always understood this point very clearly.
Taixu Temple had already existed in the ancient era of the Human Sovereign. Before the rise of other major powers, Taixu Temple was the only sect in the Divine Land that was not under the rule of the Human Sovereign. It only acknowledged the Human Sovereign in name, and had no intention of fighting for power. Instead, it wholeheartedly monitored the movements of the demon race in Infinite Wasteland.
The founder of the Void Temple, Lord Taixu, was a figure from the same generation as the Grand Emperor. They experienced the end of the Archaic era and the beginning of the Archaic era together. He led the human cultivators to overthrow the Demon Race's enslavement. His cultivation was not inferior to the Grand Emperor in the slightest, but he did not fight with the Grand Emperor for the throne.
After the Tai Huang fell, Lord Taixu once again modestly gave up the throne of the Human Sovereign. Only then did Ru Huang ascend the throne. After that, Ru Huang voluntarily abdicated and became a Buddha, founding the Tempest Temple. Lord Taixu humbly gave up the throne for the third time until he disappeared in the Dead Sea, never to be heard from again.
This was the famous "Three Abdications of Taixu" in the ancient era of the Human Sovereign.
Although Taixu Taoist had disappeared after he went to the Dead Sea, Taixu Temple still had its own transcendent position. Later, together with Heavenly Gate, they led the tide of the era and completely abolished the rule of the Human Sovereign, ending the ancient era.
Other than the fact that there were many experts in the sect, the most important reason was the treasure that Taixu Taoist had passed down, the Haotian Mirror.
"The number one treasure of Divine Origin", these five words explained everything.
There was no need to describe it. Just by looking at the list of experts who had died to this Dharma treasure, one would know the power of this treasure.
Juehuang Xuan Shang, Jihuang Shenyuan, and Youhuang Tianhai were the three strongest Demon Sovereigns in the history of the demon race. The cause of their deaths was closely related to the Haotian Mirror.
This creation Dharma treasure was like a stabilizing force in the human world, protecting the Human Race's Divine Land for generations to come.
In history, the Haotian Mirror was said to have suffered three major damages, which were related to the three Demon Sovereigns. Every time it was damaged, the Haotian Mirror would need a long period of recuperation in order to recover to its perfect state.
During this period of recuperation, Taixu Temple would not use the Haotian Mirror easily, otherwise, it would slow down the recovery process.
Of course, if it was necessary, Taixu Temple would not hesitate.
However, from this point of view, it was not just the demon race in Tianhuang Vast Land, even the human race's Divine Land that had wanted to challenge the leadership of Taixu Temple over the years had to thank the three Demon Sovereigns.
Lin Feng calmly looked at Yan Nanlai. Even if he knew that the Void Temple's strength was great, with experts as numerous as the clouds, and that they could almost rely on their own strength to contend against the entire divine continent, even if the Void Temple had the Clear Sky Mirror to suppress the mountain gate, he would still not feel fear.
Being inferior to them now did not mean that there was no possibility of surpassing them in the future. Everything depended on one's own efforts.
To create the number one sect in history, to become the number one Patriarch in history. This was Lin Feng's belief and vision.
To be honest, just surpassing Taixu Temple might not be considered achieving his goal. If that was the case, what was there to be afraid of challenging and trying to surpass this colossus?
His own vision was even grander than that, and also more ethereal and lofty.
Lin Feng had never been afraid of Taixu Temple. At this moment, he was secretly worried. Actually, he was worried that if he and Xuanmen Tianzong continued to grow and become stronger, until they had the ability to set off a storm in the human cultivation world in the Divine Land, would it cause serious internal friction in the human cultivation world if they were to go against Taixu Temple?
Although there were the Three Concessions of Taixu Temple and the conservative policy behind them, Taixu Temple was used to being the boss. For many years, be it Tianmen Sect, Great Thunderclap Temple, Primitive Demon Cult, Shushan Sword Sect and other sects, they all wanted to shake Taixu Temple's position, but in the end, none of them succeeded.
But when Xuanmen Tianzong really grew to the point where he had the ability to completely overthrow Taixu Temple, would Taixu Temple still be calm?
Although he, Taixu Temple, and many other human race cultivators were closely watching the demon race in Infinite Wasteland to prevent the demon race from benefiting from the internal strife of the human race, how could everything go as planned? For example, The Enchantress, Golden Roc Sage, and other experts of the demon race were not puppets that could be manipulated according to his wishes.
Everyone had their own plans. In the end, it was hard to say who would have the last laugh.
If the demon race benefited because of the internal friction of the human race, this was something that Lin Feng could not accept.
Perhaps when he reached a higher position in the future, he would change his way of thinking and the way he viewed the conflict between the human race and the demon race. But from his current position, he had to consider the threat of the demon race like Taixu Temple.
When the nest is overturned, there will be no eggs left intact.
Lin Feng looked at Yan Nanlai and suddenly laughed. Yan Nanlai, who had an indifferent expression, also laughed. Although their facial features were different, their expressions were very similar, as if they had been carved from the same mold.
"It's really a difficult task." Lin Feng chuckled. "But it is precisely because of this that I want to see the scenery at the peak. How moving it is."
Yan Nanlai's figure retreated into the white cloud once again. Soon, the white cloud also disappeared.
When this projection disappeared, there were no other scenes in front of Lin Feng. There were only rays of white light that flickered before turning into light spots and dissipating.
The scene in front of him suddenly became clear. Lin Feng looked up and found that he was once again in the Ying Sea. Looking behind him, there was a faint light screen that was almost transparent, and he could see the outside world.
The illusion that he had experienced previously was actually the moment he passed through the light screen. It reflected the many hidden worries in the depths of his heart.
However, if he was unable to strengthen his beliefs, his soul would be corroded by the illusion and he would be directly assimilated by the light screen, never to think of coming out again.
This was an illusion that purely tested one's willpower. It had nothing to do with the cultivation of the person who entered.
The light screen illusion was very profound. Once a person passed through it, the illusion would gradually collapse. Lin Feng saw the light screen gradually shattering. Amidst the light spots, Zhu Yi, Li Yuanfang, Jie Yu, White Light, and the others also appeared. Their expressions were somewhat startled.
"Although this illusion is dangerous, it is also a good place to sharpen one's Dao heart." Lin Feng smiled. Zhu Yi and the others nodded.
Then, everyone looked forward and saw a huge island and celestial mountain floating above the sea!
A slightly trembling voice came from the Li Qingyu table. "Ying Zhou Celestial Mountain!"
Zhu Yi and the others also held their breath and focused, looking at the huge celestial mountain in front of them.
The space around the celestial mountain was slightly distorted, causing it to float above the Ying Zhou Celestial Mountain, making its size appear less exaggerated.
But in reality, like Fangzhang Celestial Mountain, Ying Zhou Celestial Mountain was also as huge as a small piece of land. Although it was not as huge as Fangzhang Celestial Mountain, its circumference reached a full 4,000 miles.
Lin Feng stared at Ying Zhou Celestial Mountain and raised his brows slightly. "It is indeed an ancient array formation born from Heaven and Earth."
Zhu Yi and Li Yuanfang carefully observed Ying Zhou Celestial Mountain. Indeed, in the distorted space above the celestial mountain, there seemed to be tens of millions of transparent jade slabs floating, crystal clear, and smooth.
However, these jade slabs were extremely huge. They were rectangular, and each of them was half an acre in size. They were stacked together and spread out at the same time, wrapping Ying Zhou Celestial Mountain within like a sphere.
"Although it is abnormally exquisite, it is already very weak," Li Yuanfang took a deep breath and said while staring at the ancient array formation.
Lin Feng waved his hand. "There's no time to lose. Let's go down." After saying that, he led Zhu Yi and the rest to fly towards Ying Zhou Celestial Mountain that was protected by the ancient array formation.
Dao Master Changle and the rest, who were following behind them, also stared at Ying Zhou Celestial Mountain with their eyes wide open. All of them were eager to make a move. Even though Lin Feng was right in front of them, they could not wait to pounce on him.
Lin Feng ignored them. As he flew towards Ying Zhou Celestial Mountain, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the void above the celestial mountain. "They are indeed here."
The white clouds above the Ying Zhou Celestial Mountain seemed to be burning and turned into a dazzling golden light.
A vague shadow appeared in the golden light. Although its appearance could not be seen clearly, one could still feel its heavy, vigorous, domineering, and majestic aura. It was as if it carried the weight of the country and ruled over the world.
Countless talismans and curse seals flew and spread in all directions along with the purplish-golden light. A city-like palace complex appeared in the middle of the light.
The main hall, side hall, courtyard, seal platform, and tall buildings together formed a palace that looked like the residence of an immortal king. It was like the sun in the sky, full of majesty.
Slowly, Lin Feng nodded. "Tai Huang Imperial Palace!"
This palace was the creation magic treasure refined by the Tai Huang Imperial Palace, which later fell into the hands of the Great Zhou Dynasty!
