Xu Fengnian was a talented Wuxia character. His goal was to realize his political ideals through Jianghu. In the novel, he repeatedly expressed his desire for power and order and refused to become emperor. This might be related to his personal background and experience. For example, he had once served as an official in the imperial court and had a certain understanding and understanding of politics and power. Xu Fengnian's era was the period of political turmoil during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Under such a historical background, Xu Fengnian might think that it was more reliable to realize his ideals through Jianghu rather than trying to control power through the status of the emperor. Xu Fengnian might have his own political ideas and pursuits, but he also recognized the historical background and situation at that time, so he decided not to pursue the position of emperor.

If the immortals from heaven came out of the Gate of Heaven to the human world at will, it would cause chaos in the fate of the human world. Besides, Xu Fengnian also liked to stay in the human world and was not interested in the immortal world. Therefore, he chose to close the Heavenly Gate and not allow anyone to ascend.
