Heavens Gate

Could be considered to be the predecessors of East Heaven’s Gate.

## **Description**

Heavens Gate was a Super Powerful sect during antiquity. They were even comparable to the three great holy grounds namely Great Void Sect, Great Thunderclap Temple and Mount Shu Sword Sect. This powerful force rose rapidly but declined and destroyed rapidly as well.

Real reason for their destruction isn't known to everyone but Great Void Sect was one of the main perpetrators.

### **Reasons:**

Heaven’s Gate of the Antiquity Age had been designated as an **‘unstable power’** or an **‘enemy power**’ too. Heaven’s Gate was the reason that the Great Void Sect came up with these designations of 'unstable' and 'enemy'. They were the first super-sect that the Great Void Sect labelled as an ‘unstable power’.”

During the War of the Two Worlds, the Great Void Sect was led by the ultraconservatives. They viewed the Great Thunderclap Temple as an enemy primarily because they taught Buddhism to the demons. However, that was not the case for Heaven’s Gate.

In that period, the Great Void Sect was at an all-time low. Heaven’s Gate rose because they fought against the excesses of the Emperor of Violence while the Great Void Sect remained silent. In the end, they were able to lead the revolution that overthrew the Emperor of Violence.

While the Great Void Sect took part in the final battle and played an important role, to the extent where they pushed their partially-damaged Supreme Heavenly Mirror to its limit, their previous inaction of staying low greatly damaged their prestige.

Then, if the prestige of Heaven’s Gate had continued to rise, then they would have surpassed the Great Void Sect. This was unacceptable to many in the Great Void Sect.

### **History:**

At this very moment, the Emperor of Extremity, Shen yuan(Holy Demon Ape Emperor), appeared. He united the Barren Expanses and started a War of the Two Worlds.

The sect leader of the Great Void Sect then, the Chang Yun Holy Man, made a decision that was viewed as perfect by some, but also heavily criticized by others. The decision was controversial and left a deep impact on the entire Great Void Sect in the years to come.

In terms of power, the Chang Yun Holy Man could not even be counted among the top ten, much less be on par with the Great Void Holy Man, Wen Chiyang or the Tai Yi Holy Man. However, his impact was profound. In one aspect, he was the founder of the ultraconservatives in the Great Void Sect.

Also, the Great Void Sect only started to concern themselves with the other powerful sects of the Divine Lands from him onwards as they tried to buy time for the Great Void Sect and the Supreme Heavenly Mirror.

In the battle to overthrow the Emperor of the Dead, Yan Xinghe was killed. The Supreme Heavenly Mirror too was heavily damaged in that battle and its recovery would take eons. The sect leader then, **Du Yunge**, allied with the Emperor of the Ancients and after a long discussion, he came to an agreement that the Emperor of the Ancients would temporarily be responsible for dealing with the Barren Expanses to buy recovery time for the Great Void Sect and the Supreme Heavenly Mirror.

At last, while the Supreme Heavenly Mirror did not return to its peak condition, it regained most of its former powers. Once again, it played an important role in the next War of the Two Worlds. While Du Yunge fell in battle, he was able to kill the then-Holy Demonic Emperor with the Emperor of the Ancients.

Afterwards, the heavily-injured Emperor of the Ancients was killed by the Emperor of Violence, who began his reign of terror over the Divine Lands. The Chang Yun Holy Man, who assumed the mantle of leadership after Du Yunge, chose to defend Mount Baiyun. The Great Void Sect appeared to have cut itself off. That was the lowest point of the Great Void Sect and its most humiliating period.

However, in the eyes of the **Chang Yun Holy Man**, he believed that this period of humiliation would buy time for the Supreme Heavenly Mirror to recover. At last, he allied with Heaven’s Gate to kill the Emperor of Violence, which proved to be the right choice.

The Chi Yang Holy Man sacrificed himself to kill the Emperor of Extremity, Shenyuan. Had Emperor Xia not been distracted from his official affairs, it was likely that the Emperor of Extremity would have met an early end.

The Emperor of the Ancients bought time for the Supreme Heavenly Mirror to recover, which was then able to kill the Holy Demonic Emperor then, achieving victory in the War of the Two Worlds.

By temporarily sealing off Mount Baiyun, the Chang Yun Holy Man was able to buy time for the Supreme Heavenly Mirror to recover while letting the other sects bear the pressure from the Emperor of Violence. When the Supreme Heavenly Mirror recovered, it was then able to kill him. These successes, in the eyes of the Chang Yun Holy Man and the other Great Void Sect cultivators, prompted them to make more and more similar decisions. To them, it was the right thing to do.

### **Destruction of Heavens Gate:**

The teachings of Heaven’s Gate were to use one mantra to form ten thousand mantras, to use one spell to conjure ten thousand spells and to use one Dao to form ten thousand Dao. They studied the mantras of the demons and tried to raise some demons. Furthermore, they were in contact with many demons that did not take part in the War of the Two Worlds, such as the phoenixes and the Divine Parasol Trees.

Hence, because of their rise, **Tian Dikong** and Heaven’s Gate naturally became the enemies of the Great Void Sect. Here, the term **‘unstable power’** appeared for the first time.

After getting rid of the Emperor of Violence, another War of the Two Worlds broke out. The Emperor of Extremity, Shenyuan, approached the Divine Lands. His first target was Mount Baiyun and the Great Void Sect, which had defeated him many years ago.

The only defensive actions the Great Void Sect took was something rather small.

During a chaotic battle in the War of the Two Worlds, Great Void Sect found an opportunity to bring Tian Dikong’s(leader of Heavens gate) daughter and Shen yuan’s son together. In the end, Tian Dikong’s only daughter died at the hands of Shengtian Lingji, Shenyuan’s son. When news reached him, Tian Dikong rushed there as fast as he could. However, he was too slow. There, he killed Shengtian Lingji and vowed to battle the Emperor of Extremity to the death.

Hence, the two sides battle furiously. Heaven’s Gate was destroyed and Tian Dikong fell in battle. Even the Inter-World Passage to the Ancient Desolate Galaxy was broken and split into six,. Heaven’s Gate could have been said to be at its peak back then. It was in a period of rapid growth and there was hope for further expansion. After that battle, it was reduced to nothing.

The Great Void Sect, however, did not incur many losses. After the Middle Ages, it rebounded and started another glorious chapter of its history. In the final days of the Antiquity Age and the early days of the Middle Ages, there was much controversy about the Chang Yun Holy Man’s actions. However, the Supreme Heavenly Mirror made a complete recovery in the Middle Ages and helped Wen Chiyang to suppress the Emperor of Extremity. Increasingly, people felt that the Chang Yun Holy Man made the right decision.

However, if the Chang Yun Holy Man was unable to bring the power of the Netherworld Sea back to the Divine Lands, success could not be guaranteed. There was even the possibility that the Emperor of Extremity would break through Mount Baiyun. However, more and more people felt that the Chang Yun Holy Man helped the Divine Lands conserve its strength and maintain hopeful.
