The Growth of a God-Chapter 510 - 8: Past Wars of the End of the Dharma

Celestial Human Realm, Nine Peaks Mountain.

This is a typical sect-clique world, where the nine Immortal Mountains are each a sect.

Beneath these nine Immortal Mountains, elites chosen from the Mortal Realm settle here, establishing numerous small cities.

Perhaps due to population reasons.

These cities do not develop into mega-conglomerates like those on Earth or in the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Instead, each city only houses tens of thousands of people — it might be more appropriate to call them towns.

Contrary to common imagination, these towns are not backward.

Though they haven't developed building materials like steel-reinforced concrete, specially cultivated Immortal Wood is enough to construct grand and magnificent houses.

In theory, these specially processed Immortal Wood are fireproof, eliminating the possibility of fires.

As for natural disasters like earthquakes and floods?

For the Nine Peaks Mountain, which floats in the sky year-round, these are not considerations.

Moreover, the roads connecting these towns are reinforced with Magical Divine Techniques, boasting durability comparable to concrete and asphalt roads.

More critically, Nine Peaks Mountain is blessed by Immortal Spirits, ensuring complete self-sufficiency with ample clothing and food.

The elites living here only need to focus on cultivation, while other matters are naturally handled by mortals from the Lower Realm.

For those mortals, being able to come to the Immortal Mountain is already a tremendous opportunity.

Even if they cannot successfully join the Immortal Sect, learning a few skills to bring back to the Lower Realm is enough for them to thrive.

At least, it was this way before the last "War of the End of the Dharma".

..............................

At the summit of Nine Peaks Mountain, during the joint meeting of the nine sects.

Sitting in the highest position is the current Sect Leader of the Golden Crow Sect—Haoguang.

Seated below him are the sect leaders of Bai Ju, Jiu Yang, Chaoxi, Su Ri, Chi Lun, Fei Pei, Celestial Yang, and Celestial Gnomon.

"Just now, the 'Sun Corona Disc' showed an anomaly."

After eyeing the surroundings, Haoguang calmly voiced his observations.

"How is this possible?"

"The last War of the End of the Dharma was clearly less than two hundred years ago?"

Startled, the sect leader of the Nine Yang Sect refuted loudly.

[Sun Corona Disc] is the Supreme Treasure of Nine Peaks Mountain, a Supreme Divine Artifact left behind by Celestial Beings.

It corresponds to the sun in the sky, constantly monitoring cosmic dimensional changes.

An anomaly in the [Sun Corona Disc] not only signifies a new change in the stable-running sun, but possibly initiates another War of the End of the Dharma.

"I also noticed, the 'Power of True Yang' briefly erupted not long ago…"

At this point, the sect leader of the Chi Lun Sect spoke up.

As a veteran of Nine Peaks Mountain who experienced two Wars of the End of the Dharma, his words instantly silenced everyone present.

"This is abnormal."

"The 'Power of True Yang' belongs to the sun's zenith strength; it should have disappeared long ago with the departure of Celestial Beings."

In the ancient Celestial Human Realm, cultivators at the time divided the sun by time and changes into six forces.

These six forces correspond to six different Primordial Qi and different Ascension Ladders.

Especially the most powerful 'Power of True Yang', which had been exhausted with successive ascensions of Celestial Beings.

Currently, Nine Peaks Mountain cultivates other nine variant Ascension Ladders, hoping to ascend like their predecessors.

"Could there be a return of Celestial Beings?"

After a brief silence, the sect leader of the Su Ri Sect proposed this possibility.

Unfortunately, her guess met with unanimous ridicule from the other seven sect leaders.

"Ha, Celestial Beings returning?"

"I didn't expect you would be as delusional as that group from Five Peaks Mountain, holding onto such unrealistic ideas."

The hot-tempered sect leader of the Celestial Yang Sect, also a childhood companion of the Su Ri sect leader, said.

"Those selfish beings only care about their own Longevity and completely disregard our survival."

"Expecting their return?"

"You might as well hope for the Gods they killed to experience Rebirth!"

In the lengthy history of the Celestial Human Realm, Gods only existed before ancient times, where intelligent life had yet to emerge.

Since the Cultivation Technique of Celestial Beings spread, they used strength from the Gods to escape this world while bringing irrevocable disaster.

"Regardless, the anomaly in the 'Sun Corona Disc' is real."

The sect leader from the Feipei Sect promptly intervened to halt the quarrel between Su Ri and Celestial Yang sects.

"We must take this seriously, another 'War of the End of the Dharma' cannot break out."

After a slight pause, Feipei Sect's sect leader continued.

"I suggest informing other sects from various Immortal Mountains, optimizing our strength to prevent the 'War of the End of the Dharma'."

Faced with Feipei Sect leader's suggestion, the Chaoxi Sect leader suddenly chuckled.

"Ha, are you trying to hasten the arrival of the 'War of the End of the Dharma'?"

"Dare to share this news with them?"

"Every 'War of the End of the Dharma' is an occasion for ascension; do you think they might themselves promote its arrival for this opportunity?"

Following these words, there was silence once again.

Because the sect leader of Chaoxi was right, extremely accurate in fact.

Every outbreak of the "War of the End of the Dharma" significantly depletes the scarce Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi of the Celestial Human Realm, edging this world closer to its demise.

Yet, it is also among the few chances for the world's cultivators to ascend again.

Especially for sect leader rank Divine Ability Users; their only shortfall from Celestial Beings is that timely opportunity.

Judging by selfishness, Divine Ability Users here were no less self-centered than the predecessors—Celestial Beings.

Everyone present understood this well.

Even among the nine sect leaders, it's hard to say if any had ulterior motives.

"If that's the case, let's proceed with a customary vote!"

Passing a composed gaze over the other eight, Haoguang said.

"Based on the majority, we'll decide whether to share this news with sects from other Immortal Mountains."

Without arguing, without rebuttal.

The other eight sect leaders exchanged glances and implicitly agreed to Haoguang's proposal.

Thus, a vote that determined the future of this world officially began.
