Dedicate One’s Mind

Xuan Xingsi, the head of Yiqimen, is the twelfth head of Yiqimen. He has been in charge of Yiqimen for nearly 1,500 years. He governs by inaction and is known for his ability to reconcile conflicts between various parties. He successfully eliminated the threats to Yiqimen from the water tribe, the witch tribe, and the internal competitors of the Taoist sect.

Yiqimen's leading position in the Taoist sect is solid and unshakable.

However, after all, there has been no real battle with other forces. Many major events that determine the course of the destiny of a world are the result of private meetings between upper-class people, which leads to this head not being very "qualified" in the eyes of the lower-level cultivators.

Speaking of this, it is better to insert a little more text to narrate a little history of the establishment of Yiqimen.

It can be said that since the establishment of Yiqimen in the Cangmang Realm, under the leadership of the previous heads, it has been in a state of expansion, whether it is fighting against wild giants or fighting with water tribes.

However, during the tenure of the seventh leader, Yiqimen encountered a setback with the water tribe and lost a Dongtian Shangzhen. The expansion process gradually slowed down.

Yiqimen was a big family with a lot of business. After losing a Dongtian Shangzhen, it was not necessary to do so. The real reason was that Yiqimen found that the Taoist sects that originally obeyed its orders showed a trend of differentiation.

There were powerful enemies from the water tribe that had not been eliminated, and the internal Taoist sect was still in a state of disunity. Internal and external troubles came at the same time. This was the reason for the crisis of Yiqimen.

However, if we have to talk about the primary and secondary contradictions, the contradictions within the Taoist sect were the main contradictions. At that time, the strength of Yiqimen alone was enough to wipe out the water tribe and flatten the Dragon Palace. And the internal troubles appeared at the right time. I don’t know if the fate of a cunning rabbit having three burrows and a running dog hitting the wall played a role here.

The seventh headmaster didn't believe it. At the same time, because of the expansion of tens of millions of years in Yiqimen, the wind of war and victory was rising. A large number of disciples entered the Taoism and cultivated the truth. Only killing and expansion could promote their cultivation to a higher level.

For various reasons, the major policies at that time did not change fundamentally and were still expansionist.

As the saying goes, forgetting war will lead to danger, and loving war will lead to death.

It also led to the fact that starting from the seventh headmaster, within a thousand years, three consecutive heads of Yiqimen dropped out of the Taoism and died on the battlefield. It was an incredible end.

It should be understood that Yiqimen is the largest sect of Taoism, and the head of Yiqimen is almost half of the world's luck. With such great luck, it is almost impossible to ascend to the upper realm after leaving office. It is not certain that he will become an immortal, but in the realm of Dongtian, he must be a first-class figure. I don't know how many people saw his death.

At that time, the leading position of Yiqimen Taoism was in name only, and it could be said that it was the lowest moment since the establishment of Yiqimen.

The death of three consecutive leaders and many of the Supreme True Immortals and True Immortals who were attached to them has greatly weakened the power of the pro-war faction, or the hard-line faction, in Yiqimen, and the moderate faction, or the pro-peace faction, has taken advantage of the situation to come to the stage.

Therefore, starting from the tenth leader, including the current Xuan Xingsi, they are all from the moderate faction.

Although there are two factions, their purpose is to maintain the status of Yiqimen, which is beyond doubt, otherwise Yiqimen would have been torn apart long ago.

It's just that one advocates using tough means to suppress all parties, while the other advocates staying out of it, provoking their internal disputes, waiting for the internal strife, and taking advantage of the situation to get the benefits they want.

The former thinks the latter is cowardly, and the latter thinks the former is reckless. Different ideas naturally make them unable to get along, and the disputes among them are all bloody.

However, the strength of the Shuizu and other factions of the Dao Sect has increased, and the relative gap with the strength of Yiqimen is narrowing. It is no longer sustainable to act according to the previous means, and the growth of the power of the moderate faction is the general trend.

After a bloody storm, the moderate faction inherited the throne and closed the mountain and closed the door to recuperate. Of course, this was only the behavior on the surface. There were also many secret means. At that time, many Taoist sects emerged with Dongtian Shangzhen, not just the Lingxu Sect and Xuanyang Sect. These Taoist sects saw the decline of Yiqi Sect and wanted to succeed Yiqi Sect to take the lead. It was not certain that they would help others to become immortals. This civil strife, which can be regarded as the most serious civil strife in Taoism, lasted for a thousand years. It was called the Dark Ages. Taoism was not Taoism, and demons were not demons. Human nature was degraded and beasts were rampant. Many dark Taoist magics were deduced at that time. The final result of this chaos is not difficult to guess. It is that the overall strength of Taoism was greatly weakened, resulting in the rise of various strange races after the war, seizing the power gap left by the retreat of Taoism and expanding their power. From then on, the internal contradictions of Taoism became secondary contradictions, and the contradictions between Taoism and other races became the main contradictions again. And Yiqimen, at the right time, resolutely stood up at this time, shouting the slogan of "brothers quarrel outside the wall to defend their affairs", saving the overall situation of Taoism.

From then on, Yiqimen once again became the first major sect of Taoism, and the moderate faction realized the revival of Yiqimen.

The main war lineage was completely abandoned by everyone. The sorrow of knowing wrong at the beginning also implicated for many years and could not be resolved. It was only not long ago that it was resolved.

The moderate faction became the mainstream, even the only mainstream, but it also had its own internal contradictions, that is, it mostly acted on high-level consultations. At that time, the twelve giants were like a dark cloud over Yiqimen, and a situation similar to class solidification appeared, and the lower-level monks had no way to turn over.

The aristocratic families held power, which deeply troubled Yiqimen. Without the influx of fresh water, the entire level of cultivation was bound to decline.

Chen Zhuzi, the eleventh head of the sect, who was also the master of the current head Xuan Xingsi, understood this problem and deliberately selected six talented disciples in the mortal world to teach them carefully.

I don’t know if it was destiny that favored Yiqimen. These disciples were all coached by him to become cave heaven masters, becoming a great story in the Cangmang world. They were called Chen Zhu’s six sons, and Xuan Xingsi was the eldest brother among these six people.

When Chen Zhuzi ascended to the upper world, he deliberately took away seven aristocratic family cave heaven masters. In this way, only five aristocratic family masters and Chen Zhu’s six sons, including Xuan Xingsi, were left in Yiqimen in the Cangmang world.

In terms of the number of people, Chen Zhu’s six sons were still better. In this way, the dispute between the aristocratic master and apprentice lineages, which was known to everyone in Yiqimen, was created.

Chen Zhuzi worked hard to give Xuan Xingsi the opportunity to operate the system and serve as the final judge between the master and disciple lineages of the aristocratic family, eventually influencing the entire Yiqi sect's atmosphere.
