The Growth of a Titan-Chapter 437- The Descendants Of The Heavenly Sect

"The Heavenly Sect? You mean the one that was destroyed by the Six Holy Sects and Five Great Clans?"

"Hm, that one. Some records also claim that these mountains the Martial Alliance Academy is built on had once belonged to the Heavenly Sect."

Sol had a thoughtful look on his face when he heard that, but he soon realized something.

"Wait, did that mean the Academy was built after the Heavenly Sect was destroyed seven thousand years ago?"

Woo-seong nodded before turning to Sol and asking.

"Brother Sol, didn’t you know the Academy has a long history?"

"I knew but I would have never guessed it was that long. However, if these mountains once belonged to the Heavenly Sect what happened to the surviving descendants?"

Woo-seong scratched his chin and seemed to be digging through his memories. Soon after he said regretfully.

"I’m not sure what happened to them, the details of what happened back then seemed to have been lost with the passage of time. Though I did read that the Leader of the Heavenly Sect once had a legendary 9th Tier Innate Dharma and had managed to cultivate to become an Immortal in less than a hundred years."

"What? Really?"

Sol was slightly startled by Woo-seong’s words.

"I read it in my Wudang Sect’s Ancestral Library, but I’m not sure if the information is genuine or just embellished stories."

"Hm, it’s weird that the Wudang Sect doesn’t have a record of what happened back then, given they had participated in the Heavenly Sect’s destruction."

Woo-seong suddenly scratched his cheek.

Sol upon seeing this said.

"What’s in the past is in the past. What’s important is the future. Let’s go." ƒrēenovelkiss.com

Sol patted Woo-seong’s back before heading towards the stone stele.

Whether the Six Holy Sects’ actions of destroying the Heavenly Sect with the help of the Great Clans seven thousand years ago was right or wrong was hard to determine in the present time, and it might even be pointless to try to find out since nothing could change the past.

However, as Sol headed for the stone stele, he couldn’t help but ponder on this strange event that happened in the past.

The first time he heard about there being a seventh Holy Sect was from the books his Master gave him. Only when he met Son and the others did he figure out the Heavenly Sect was destroyed.

Those books his Master gave him detailed information that was seven thousand years old.

’Don’t tell me Master found some inheritance from the Heavenly Sect?... No, wait!’

Sol suddenly thought of something, and his feet couldn’t help but stop as his eyes widened. His body trembled slightly as scattered information of the past seemed to fit themselves together in his mind.

’Master’s old books... Master’s age... the Forgotten Sect... the Hundred Plants and Herbs Dimension.’

Sol’s breathing became rapid, and his heart was filled with increasing shock.

"Brother Sol, is everything okay?"

Woo-seong suddenly asked when he saw Sol’s strange behavior. This interrupted Sol’s thoughts.

"No, uh, I’m fine. I was just recalling something."

After giving that excuse Sol resumed his walk towards the stone stele. However, his heart was nothing but calm.

Sol should have made this guess before!

After the Immortals disappeared the Great Era of Turmoil started. The descendants and followers who were once under the Immortals fought for supremacy.

During that time in Jianghu, the Six Holy Sects, and the Five Great Clans rose to power. But what about the Heavenly Sect? Where did they fit into this?

Given the fact that it took the Six Holy Sects, and the Five Great Clans joining forces to destroy them, it meant that the Heavenly Sect was absolutely terrifying.

It wasn’t farfetched to believe that a Sect that calls itself the ’Heavenly Sect’ was the number one power in Jianghu, or possibly the entire Eastern Continent back then.

Having that level of power and influence they could have surely taken control over the Hundred Plants and Herbs dimension for themselves.

’The reason Master has those books from seven thousand years, the reason Ji-Hoon and the others from the Forgotten Sect could receive the inheritance of Immortal Dia Shen as well his disciples, and finally, the reason why the Forgotten Sect was destroyed by the Six Holy Sect and Five Great Clans three hundred years ago... Don’t tell me Master and the Forgotten Sect are descendants of the Heavenly Sect?’

Sol’s heart shook. Even though this was only a speculation, he felt confident that his deduction was accurate.

’Most of all back then, Master and Uncle Master were discussing something strange when we first came to the Alchemy Mountain. Uncle Master had said they had given up on seeking revenge for their Master. What Master? What Revenge? Isn’t it likely they were talking about the Heavenly Sect? But does that mean Master and both my Uncle Masters are disciples of the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Sect? Or maybe perhaps an Elder of the Sect?

’That would explain why they called each other brothers. However, second Uncle Master and third Uncle Master looked similar so they might be blood-related. Master did say he was wearing a disguise so perhaps that’s why he didn’t resemble either second Uncle Master or third Uncle Master. But again, I think Master was lying to me about wearing a disguise and perhaps it’s because he looks too old for me to notice any similarities in their appearances. I-’

"Brother Sol, stop!"

Woo-seong suddenly called out to Sol and simultaneously grabbed his shoulder to stop him.

"Hm? What is it?"

Sol turned to look at Woo-seong, but seeing Sol’s expression Woo-seong forced a smile and pointed forward.

"Any further and you would have walked right into the stone stele Brother Sol."

Sol turned his head and saw that the stone stele was about ten steps away from him.

Sol smiled awkwardly and said.

"Ah, I was too engrossed in my thoughts."

Sol plans on sharing his theory with his Disciple Brothers, Ushi and Yoon-Jae.

However, for now, he decided to place his Master and Uncle Masters being from the Heavenly Sect at the back of his mind and focus on this stone stele.

As he looked at it, Sol realized the surface was densely covered with words that had numbers next to them.

’No, these aren’t words but the names of people.’
