A swarm of heavy artillery bombarded the cultivators.

Chapter 1209 Eight Hundred Years Later
Time passes.

Time flows like water, and a hundred years have passed;

Another hundred years passed;

Another hundred years passed;

……

All things in the world and all beings in the universe change with time. Humans are born, grow old, get sick and die, cultivators are promoted, Jindan cultivators achieve success and then die, and Yuanying cultivators reincarnate for several generations.

Before we knew it, eight hundred years had passed.

During the eight hundred years, the Immortal Sect has not changed much. Generation after generation of Immortal Sect monks were born, grew up, received education, and then stepped into the Jiaoming Realm through the boundary channel to replenish and replace the Immortal Sect expeditionary force in the Jiaoming Realm.

There are also many immortal monks who died in a foreign land, leaving only their cenotaphs to return to the immortal gate as a memory for their loved ones.

Among the rotating monks, most are foundation-building and golden elixir monks. They have reached the end of their lives and return to their hometowns to see everything in their hometowns and bring back the ashes of their fallen comrades.

At the same time as they walked out of the teleportation array, a support fleet of more than 200,000 immortal gates also flew here and landed in the super teleportation array. They were fully equipped, morale was high, and youthful. Their young faces were full of desire to achieve success.

“It’s great to be young…”

An old Jindan man with a broken left arm and half of his body stiff and uncoordinated walked out of the teleportation array with his comrades. His hair was gray, but there was no war-weariness in his eyes. He just sighed and said, "I stepped onto the battlefield at the age of 101. At that time, I was just a foundation-building cultivator. I didn't expect that time would pass by so quickly. Now I am an old man over 500 years old."

"I don't have enough talent and potential for combat, so I have lost the hope of advancing to the Nascent Soul stage."

"Otherwise, it would be good if I died in a foreign land."

He said with some regret.

This is a citizens' war.

Every citizen benefited from the war, fighting for themselves, the atmosphere between superiors and subordinates was good, they took care of each other, and rewards and punishments were strictly based on the laws of the immortal gate.

This makes the citizens of Xianmen able to endure war, dare to fight, and fight bravely. Even after hundreds of years of fighting, almost their entire lives, and the death of countless comrades around them, they have not shown any war-weariness or anti-war sentiment.

In comparison, the Taoist soldiers of the Immortal Sect seemed to be a little inferior. In recent years, there have been frequent mutinies and camp cries, and some people even tried to rebel and join the Horned Demon Emperor Clan. One battalion had already succeeded, and the Horned Demon Emperor Clan publicized it, which affected some of their morale.

It seems understandable that these mutinied immortal sect Taoist soldiers would do this.

A war that lasted eight hundred years!

Many Taoist soldiers of the immortal sects fought from the foundation-building stage to death. The bloody battles were endless, with no end in sight. The military laws were extremely cruel, and they would often extract their souls and refine their spirits, or cut them into pieces. The souls of many Taoist soldiers collapsed and they lost their minds in such a long war.

In order to deal with this situation, the eight major immortal sects seem to be considering casting soul magic on the Taoist soldiers to make their souls become duller and more determined to obey orders. The price is that their reactions and sensitivity to military formations will be slower, causing the overall strength of the Taoist soldiers to be weakened. Therefore, they are still hesitating.

"Captain Lin,"

An old soldier beside him who had built his foundation asked curiously, "I heard that you are the descendant of Great Sun True Lord?"

Lord Great Sun!

The retired veterans from the surrounding immortal sects immediately pricked up their ears.

Lord Da Ri seemed to be a figure from more than two thousand years ago, very far away from now, at least very far away for them, the foundation-building alchemy cultivators. He was like a historical figure, an old senior from the past few eras, and they did not pay much attention to him.

After all, there are so many heroes in history books, and each of them is earth-shaking and worshipped by future generations.

Many great achievements that are recorded in history are extremely glorious and eye-catching in contemporary times, but being able to occupy a page in a history book is already a great achievement.

After eight hundred years, the great prestige that Great Sun Master had in the past among the citizens of Xianmen has long disappeared, and those who knew him well have died for several generations, taking their thoughts with them. Great Sun Master has also become like all the ancients in history, buried in time, and only a few high-level cultivators know about him and exist in their memories.

However, things are different nowadays. Lord Da Ri is once again mentioned repeatedly by many citizens of the immortal sects.

All of this was due to the life-and-death fight among the nine major immortal sects in the global formation, the Yama Hell Equal King's inverted yin and yang formation. The nine great disciples of the immortal sect and the Immortal Sect's True Lord Gu Lin had been fighting with powerful enemies for nearly a hundred years under layers of restraint and suppression, but they were still unable to defeat the many princes of the Horned Demon Emperor clan.

Not only was he unable to be defeated, but recently, he even suffered a crushing defeat!
This made many old and powerful people in the Immortal Gate and the eight major immortal sects extremely angry, and even a little panicked. They often mentioned the name of Da Ri Jian Zi in their words, and thus it was passed down and known to the generals and officers in the army.

Among these old-timers, one sentence has been mentioned repeatedly.

"As long as the Great Sun Sword Master appears, everything will be fine."

"In front of the Great Sun Sword Master, these are just chickens and dogs."

"When can you come?"

"..."

And so on.

It seems that according to the star generals in the army, as long as Lord Great Sun appears, the situation will immediately undergo major changes and there will be no accidents.

The long war was boring and cruel, and the news about the war situation always spread quickly. Therefore, many middle and lower-level immortal soldiers began to know the name of Great Sun True Lord and placed many hopes on him.

"Nonsense!"

"What is the descendant of Great Sun True Lord?"

Captain Lin smiled bitterly and said, "You don't know, do you? Great Sun Master's common name is Jiang, and mine is Lin. Moreover, Great Sun Master is unmarried, so how could I be the Great Sun Master's descendant?"

People in the history of the immortal sect are generally referred to only by their Taoist names, and calling them by their names is considered disrespectful and impolite.

"Oh!"

The veterans around suddenly realized.

"Then Captain Lin, why did Lord Mie Ri say that when we were drinking..."

someone asked again.

When they were on the battlefield, they encountered the Sun-Destroying Lord once.

Lord Mie Ri is usually a lot of fun. His favorite thing is to drink, dance and sing with his comrades in the barracks. Even when he violated military discipline many times and was put in solitary confinement, he never changed his ways and was very popular among the soldiers of the immortal sect.

Once when they were drinking and chatting in the army they were serving in, he mentioned this to Captain Lin, saying that he remembered how he beat your ancestor with just one finger, and he didn't dare to resist and just obediently called him "big brother".

"Hi!"

Captain Lin waved his hand.

“I’m from the maternal clan of Great Sun True Lord. My great-great-great-great-great-grandfather is True Lord Lin Yuanwang, so that can be considered as a relationship with Great Sun True Lord.

There must be at least 18,000 people like me in the Immortal Sect. We have been intermarrying for so many years. If we trace our ancestors, we will definitely find a great person."

"It's a bit exaggerated to say that he is the descendant of Great Sun True Lord."

Several retired old comrades-in-arms walked together towards the immortal gate they had not seen for a long time. They looked left and right along the way and could not see enough.
