This was indeed something that puzzled many of them, but they did not have the answer, so they looked at headmaster Bai Han hoping he could provide them with the answer.
After a brief pause, Bai Han then explained: "There are many reasons for this. The first being the fact that the Dao Opening Sect's reputation among the cultivators of the world has always been very good. They rarely flaunt their power and prestige as the most powerful sect to the world--unless necessary.
"Well, to be honest, they did not have much opportunity to do so anyway. They only cultivated their ninth Emperor during the Devil Era--which was a time where the entire world was on the brink of being enslaved.
"In the Middle Emperor Era, our Academy's rapid development did not give them the time to show their power and prestige. By this Era, the Dao Opening Sect had not cultivated a Great Emperor for so long that they were more focused on themselves than showing to the world their strength."
