### Chapter 261 Peach Conference, Three Million Cultivators March to Their Deaths
Chen Changsheng awakened and left the Eastern Wastes, arriving at the Central Courtyard.
From this moment, the entire world began to operate in a frenzied manner.
The Mountain River Academy was established, and more than half of the Heavenly Prodigies from the Southern Plain became disciples of the academy.
The Buddhist Nation in the Northern Desert directly bowed to the Heavenly Court, and the Eastern Wastes also surrendered under the powerful financial offensive of the Wanfeng Merchant Association.
However, looking towards the Western Continent, only this land resisted most fiercely.
Among them, Tianxuan, responsible for suppressing the Western Continent, was directly cursed as a traitor to the Demon Clan.
Faced with the Demon Clan’s stubborn resistance, Tianxuan directly employed iron-fisted methods, causing the Demons to bleed rivers.
Under such high pressure, Tianxuan successfully unified the Demon Clan.
From then on, the Heavenly Court became the ruler of the entire world, its momentum and power even surpassing the once-mighty Purple House Sacred Ground.
Interestingly, the one who achieved this feat was not the true master of the Heavenly Court.
Instead, it was an acting master known as “Xiancha.”
No one knew his name; the world only knew he commanded all affairs of the Heavenly Court, and those high-ranking officials called him “Xiancha.”
Another interesting fact was that a large white dog always accompanied him.
To be precise, it was the ancient auspicious beast Bai Ze.
Over time, a new legend about Bai Ze emerged: “When Bai Ze appears, a sage will manifest.”
The Heavenly Court had completed its great unification, and all fighting and bloodshed had temporarily disappeared.
With the absence of violence and conflict, cultivators in the cultivation world began to proliferate madly, and this era was referred to by the world as the “Heavenly Court prosperous age”!
Unfortunately, such prosperity was completely shattered at the first Heavenly Court Peach Conference.
……
Heavenly Court Peach Conference.
“Hehehe!”
“The first Heavenly Court Peach Conference, it is truly a great fortune for everyone to gather here!”
“All these peaches were personally cultivated by me; please, everyone, taste how they are.”
A young person dressed in a golden dragon robe was warmly welcoming everyone, but those seated below remained silent.
After a long time, a general from the Heavenly Court spoke up: “Xiancha, attacking a world is no small matter.”
“I know.”
“That’s why I gathered you all to discuss it.”
“For this great campaign, I need an army of three million cultivators.”
“This army of three million cultivators is destined to have casualties, including all of you present here as well.”
Upon hearing this, the entire conference became restless.
Three million cultivators!
This nearly encompassed the number of about eighty percent of the entire cultivation world.
Watching the crowd whisper to one another, the young man on the dragon seat rested his right hand on his chin and waved his left hand slightly.
The female official standing beside him distributed some jade slips to the attendees.
After they read the contents of the jade slips, the expressions on their faces darkened further.
“Xiancha, is this true?”
“If it weren’t true, why would I mobilize three million cultivators to play house?”
“The destiny of the entire world is in your hands, and what this world turns into is determined by you.”
“According to normal protocol, if the Heavenly Court wants to wage war, you should only obey commands without objection.”
“But this time is different; there are too many people needed for this war.”
“And I need you to willingly go to your deaths; if I don’t let you know the truth in advance, unforeseen accidents may occur later.”
“So now, you can express your stance.”
“Those unwilling to participate, please take your own lives on the spot, as I do not want any leaks.”
“Those willing to participate, swear a bl**d oath and leave a spark for your sects to prepare for war later.”
As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of figures appeared around the Peach Conference.
It was evident that this “Xiancha” had long since planned for the campaign.
“Amida Buddha!”
A bald old monk chanted a Buddhist phrase and stood up: “The Buddhist sect holds compassion in its heart.”
“If the world’s people are about to face great calamity, I ask who will descend into hell; the Buddhist sect is willing to participate in the war.”
Upon hearing this, the young man smiled: “Very good, the Buddhist sect from the Northern Desert has agreed.”
“Are there others?”
“The Demon Clan from the Western Continent is willing to fight for a glimmer of hope for the world.”
“The Mountain River Academy is duty-bound!”
“The Wanfeng Merchant Association will abide by the orders of the Heavenly Court!”
……
Several major powers stood up to express their intentions.
Seeing this, other first-class powers had no choice but to agree.
As for whether their agreement stemmed from the pressure of the Heavenly Court or from a genuine desire to save the world, no one knew.
Soon, the proposal for waging war in a different world received everyone’s consent.
The young man on the dragon seat clapped his hands: “Good! Very good!”
“Your actions today will be forever remembered by the people of the world.”
“There will be d*ath in this battle, and no retreat is possible. I, Chen Changsheng, here express my gratitude to you all on behalf of the world.”
Saying this, the young man rose from the dragon chair and bowed to everyone.
In response to the young man’s gesture, the crowd returned the bow and then pledged their bl**d oaths.
After everything was done, the once-boisterous Peach Conference fell silent in an instant as everyone left.
“Oh dear!”
“After planning for a hundred years, I finally gathered everybody together.”
The young man plopped down in the dragon chair, his lazy posture no longer reflecting the demeanor of a master of the Heavenly Court.
“Xiancha, I want to participate in the battle too!”
At this moment, the female official beside him spoke up.
Upon hearing this, the young man glanced at the woman next to him and replied lightly: “No.”
“Why not?”
“This concerns the fate of the world. I, Meng Yu, am certainly not someone who is afraid of d*ath.”
“I know, but you absolutely cannot participate. There are two reasons.”
“First, if you d*e, I have no way to deal with Thirteen.”
“That foolish boy doesn’t have many people around him; if you d*e too, what will he do?”
“Second, after dealing with the ill-fated, there is still a bloody battle to be fought.”
“If everyone is dead, do you want me to lead a bare command?”
Hearing this, Meng Yu’s expression dimmed somewhat.
“If Xiancha does not allow me to participate, then what about the others? Bao’er and Linglong are on the list of participants!”
“That’s unavoidable.”
“If Tianxuan wants the Demon Clan to participate, then he must set an example; either he or Linglong must participate, otherwise, it won’t command respect.”
“As for Bao’er, she no longer needs mentioning; she is currently the spokesperson for the Wanfeng Merchant Association.”
“If she doesn’t participate, will those low-ranked cultivators under the Merchant Association participate?”
Saying this, the young man stood up and patted Meng Yu on the shoulder, smiling.
“Alright, stop being so sentimental.”
“I have reserved a place for them in the God Sealing List.”
“In the past hundred years, I’ve made some improvements to the God Sealing List; those who make it on the list can retain over ninety percent of their consciousness.”
“It’s almost the same as being alive.”
“Rather than worrying about them, you should think about yourself. If they d*e, they can be resurrected with the God Sealing List.”
“If you d*e, then you’re really dead.”
After saying this, the young man strode away with his hands clasped behind his back.
“Tianxuan is holding a banquet; I’ll take a stroll first. If you want to come, feel free to join me.”
