"Can one person's strength truly contend against the entire Mystic Sect?"
Xing Tian saw the truth of it clearly. If we talk about the Distant Ancient Era, when Haotian still had part of the Tiandi's authority, then after his return from tribulation, he indeed became a puppet, a puppet of the Mystic Sect, utterly unable to go against the Mystic Sect's will.
Why did Haotian choose to deteriorate?
It's because he had long understood these things, and thus, as long as things didn't go too far, he would turn a blind eye, too lazy to bother. To be a puppet, one must look the part of a puppet.
Of course, if the people below went too far, Haotian would get angry. After all, as one of the Great Divine Transcendents of the Mystic Sect, how could he lack temperament completely? Occasionally showing some sharp edges would also prevent others from truly taking him for granted.
"The Mystic Sect does indeed hold tremendous power!"
