Using the Past as a Mirror, One Can Set Oneself Right!

Have you ever heard of someone who, because they were too weak, ultimately chose the path of destroying their sect?

Have you ever heard of a powerful force that perished because its various tricks and schemes went too far...?

But isn't it a bit absurd that something could perish simply because it was powerful?

At this moment, everyone in the audience looked at Xinghe with puzzled expressions, clearly not quite understanding what Xinghe meant by perishing because of being too powerful.

"Sect Master, Elders, in the heyday of the Mist-Wreathed Waves Holy Land, there was a saying that all the world's geniuses emerged from Misty Wave... But have you ever considered this...? This world has a huge population, so much so that a small city might have hundreds of thousands of people, and a large city might have tens of millions."

"But this world has very few people, so few that many small sects, let alone in a year, or even ten years, haven't been able to recruit a few outstanding talents to bring glory to their sect..."

"I have a small pond where many fish live. The big fish eat the best food every day, the medium-sized fish eat slightly worse food, and the small fish eat the worst food, but every now and then they get to eat something good... My fish live in this pond, each eating their own food, and we all live in peace."

"But one day, a whale named Yanbo suddenly appeared in my pond. This whale didn't follow the rules at all. Not only did it eat the best food, it also ate the food for medium-sized fish, and it even ate the good food that small fish could occasionally get!"

At first, because the whale was so enormous, none of the fish dared to speak. But the whale ate all the food, growing larger and larger, while the other fish grew smaller and smaller... This whale, named Yanbo, thought that as long as it was big enough, it could control everything in the entire pond. But one day, a dying little fish rushed forward, trying to bite the whale to save its life...

"That little fish was completely overestimating itself. It was already skin and bones; it didn't even have the chance to bite the whale before it was swallowed whole! The other fish all said that the little fish had gone mad..."

"They even laughed at the little fish... But as time went by, the other fish grew thinner and hungrier, and they realized that it wasn't the little fish that was ridiculous, but themselves... Finally, all the fish in the pond went mad with hunger. Although they were terrified, they still attacked the whale that had driven them to their doom..."

"One fish was swallowed... and another... the whale devoured countless fish, but the other fish were truly starving. They began to feel less afraid of death, because waiting meant certain death anyway. They attacked the whale relentlessly, and finally, the first fish managed to bite it. At that moment, the other fish realized that the whale wasn't invincible... and they became even more frenzied..."

"Whales are powerful, but faced with the onslaught of all the fish in the pond, they were eventually torn open with more and more wounds. These wounds drove the other fish even more frenzied... In the end... the whale died in the pond from excessive blood loss. One whale falls, and all life comes... If this whale hadn't perished, all the fish would have starved to death..."

Chu Xinghe's gaze swept across the entire area as he calmly stated, "This whale perished not because it wasn't strong enough, not because it was too small; quite the opposite, it was because it was too powerful. Its power affected the very survival of the entire pond. If it hadn't died, everyone else would have..."

After Chu Xinghe finished speaking, the entire Haotian Grand Hall fell silent...

At that moment, everyone fell silent...

Gu Mingchao understood Xinghe's story about the fishpond... This fishpond represents this world, and the whale named Yanbo represents the Mist-Wreathed Waves Holy Land.

The Mist-Wreathed Waves Holy Land once frantically recruited geniuses from all over the world, gathering them all in one place, seemingly invincible. However, when all sides could no longer recruit geniuses... the various forces would become weaker and weaker due to the interruption of their disciples.

Ultimately, faced with annihilation and madness, they chose madness. Even if it was the incomparably powerful Mist-Wreathed Waves Holy Land Misty Waves, when the whole world turned against you, you were no longer a sacred land... you were the demonic path!

The Mist-Wreathed Waves Holy Land for only a century, from its establishment as a sacred site to its demise. History provides no clear explanation for Mist-Wreathed Waves Holy Land destruction, but Xinghe has deduced the cause through various clues and accounts...

A whale falls and all things come to life; a holy land falls and all forces rise in the world... This is the reason why the Mist-Wreathed Waves Holy Land went from being extremely powerful to declining.

"The Mist-Wreathed Waves Holy Land... the Wu Jade Holy Land... the Verdant Forest Holy Land... all the sacred lands recorded in the ancient texts, those that made the same choice as the Mist-Wreathed Waves Holy Land, all experienced a very short period from becoming a sacred land to its demise..."

Elder He spoke up at this moment, saying that Xinghe was right. After these forces became holy lands, they often recruited geniuses from all over the world, wanting to become stronger. But it was precisely this approach that led them to decline even faster.

Having the power to be an enemy of the entire world, that's called awesome...

But if you really go against the whole world, that's just stupid...

At this moment, looking at Chu Xinghe, the eyes of many powerful figures from the Vast Heaven Holy Land were filled with satisfaction...

It has to be said that since the Vast Heaven Sect became the Vast Heaven Holy Land, whether it's the disciples of the Vast Heaven Holy Land or the big shots, it would be a lie to say they haven't become a little arrogant...

But the senior figures have experience to back them up... They've spent the last few days teaching their disciples that even though they're now disciples of the Holy Land, they absolutely mustn't become arrogant!

But at this moment, Xinghe taught each of them a harsh lesson. They were teaching others not to be arrogant, but they themselves had unknowingly become arrogant.

No one expected that at this moment, the one who was most clear-headed... would be Xinghe...

"Xinghe is right... We old guys almost succumbed to demonic possession... If we recruit 10,000 geniuses every year, we'd practically monopolize the number of geniuses in the entire world... In that case, the major sects in the world would probably be unable to recruit any good disciples... And the medium-sized sects would probably be unable to recruit even slightly outstanding disciples, let alone the small sects..."

As the elder spoke, he looked at Xinghe, and he was filled with satisfaction at Xinghe's words.

A galaxy that can always keep its mind at its calmest, a Xinghe that will never be blinded by pride...

Everyone in the Vast Heaven Holy Land calls for Heaven's blessing upon Vast Heaven, but at this moment, the Grand Elder knows that Xinghe's arrival in the Vast Heaven Holy Land is the greatest blessing Heaven has bestowed upon it!

"Xinghe is right. Our Vast Heaven Sect has become a holy land. If we recklessly recruit geniuses from all corners of the world, in the long run, the Vast Heaven Holy Land will surely become the target of attacks from all over the world... So we old folks have all been too greedy..."

"Indeed, our Vast Heaven Holy Land is now the biggest fish in the pond. We have earned the awe of all the other fish. As long as we do our best, we will be indestructible for eternity!"

"Then why recruit the other seven thousand... cough cough... ordinary people? We don't compete with all sides for geniuses, but we can still recruit relatively outstanding disciples..." The Grand Elder still looked puzzled.

Upon hearing the Elder's question, Chu Xinghe said, "Elder, don't be in such a hurry. Let me tell you a story... cough cough, let me tell you!"

Everyone says that holy lands bestow blessings upon all living beings, but throughout history, many so-called holy lands have only performed various acts of benevolence towards the people at the crucial moment when they are about to become holy lands, in order to gain fame and eventually step into the holy land.

But after entering the holy land, let alone bestowing blessings upon the common people... it would be a blessing if they didn't oppress others!

The holy lands all proclaimed their benevolence to all living beings, but after becoming holy lands, they all forgot about it, making the phrase "benevolence to all living beings" almost a joke.

However, our Vast Heaven Holy Land is the first Tenth-Tier Holy Land in history. Chu Xinghe said that we must not only remember the blessings bestowed upon all living beings, but we must also continue to bestow blessings upon all living beings.

We want the whole world to know that the Vast Heaven Holy Land's call for benevolent blessings upon all living beings is not just for show; the Vast Heaven Holy Land truly wants to carry out this benevolent blessing upon all living beings to the very end!

The first step in the salvation of all living beings begins with Body Cultivation!

Those with true talent are less than one in a hundred; the vast majority of people in the world are ordinary. But don't ordinary people have their own dreams?

Don't ordinary people want to become strong?

To put it bluntly, it's not that they don't want to, it's that they don't have the right!

This time, our Vast Heaven Holy Land recruited these seven thousand Body Cultivation not only to tell the world that the Vast Heaven Holy Land would never do anything like wiping out all the geniuses and leaving no way for anyone else to survive, but also to explore new areas on our own!

In the past, Body Cultivation were unable to reach higher realms because our Vast Heaven Holy Land did not intervene!

Our Vast Heaven Holy Land not only does what others dare not do, but we also do things that other holy lands dare not do or dare not act on!

They said that without the approval of the Heavenly Dao, no holy land could be born in this world... But our Vast Heaven Holy Land broke through the Heavenly Dao's blockade, and we became the first Tenth-Tier Holy Land in history!

They say that Body Cultivation has no future, and talent determines one's Future... People are born into different classes; those with exceptional talent are prodigies, destined for a glorious life, while those with poor talent can only become mediocre, leading a life of mediocrity.

But our Vast Heaven Holy Land is determined to break this rule and tell the whole world... Vast Heaven Holy Land has not forgotten anyone in this world, whether you are a prodigy or an ordinary person!

Our Vast Heaven Holy Land will never be confined to one era; we will only write our own chapter in history!

Everyone's saying there's no future in Body Cultivation... but they don't even dare to try...

Our Vast Heaven Holy Land is recruiting seven thousand Body Cultivation. Even if we expend resources... even if we ultimately fail, at least we dare to say it, we dare to do it...

If you don't even dare to try... how can you expect to succeed?

At this moment, as Chu Xinghe finished speaking, the entire Haotian Grand Hall fell silent.

At this moment, everyone looked at the Xinghe, their eyes filled with awe.

People say that we can correct ourselves by learning from the past! But how many people throughout history have actually been able to do so?

Xinghe did it!

People say that the ultimate truth cannot be established without destruction! But while the phrase "no destruction, no establishment" sounds easy, how many people actually dare to break with convention?

Xinghe did it too!

Looking at the Xinghe before them, all the bigwigs of Vast Heaven Holy Land sighed in admiration, "This is Xinghe... He always puts the interests of his sect first!"

Chu Xinghe didn't understand what it meant to put the sect's interests first!

Chu Xinghe only knew that he had consulted so many ancient books and used every possible excuse to his advantage. He was told that he had no choice but to lose.
