Chapter 293

Hearing this, the Sect Master was startled: "Thank you, Sage, for the reminder—I nearly ruined everything."

Zhang Taixuan's reputation was indeed illustrious, so illustrious that no one in the world would ever link him to Shenxu Cave Heaven.

In that case, Shenxu Cave Heaven would naturally face no problems.

But if Shenxu Cave Heaven itself exposed him, then all bets were off.

Whether in the Northern Dipper, the Purple Microcosm, or any other major cultivation realm, the world was brutally harsh.

If others cannot defeat your prodigy, can they not defeat his family?

Thus, it was common for prodigies to cultivate outside, only to have their homes raided, clans shattered, and sects annihilated.

"Pity that Shenxu Cave Heaven is not a Sacred Sect, unable to protect the Taixuan Sage," the Sect Master sighed, feeling disheartened.

Zhang Taixuan smiled: "No matter. If nurtured well, Shenxu Cave Heaven will surely one day become a Sacred Sect."

Gazing at the empty space before him, he suddenly reached out—and in the next instant, the void split open.

Zhang Taixuan stepped inside, struck casually a few times, and instantly, the land behind the void expanded rapidly, becoming a cave heaven.

At the Sage realm, one can carve out a cave heaven without relying on external objects.

Of course, such a cave heaven's growth potential is limited—it cannot ascend like the Taixuan World into a full world.

"From now on, this shall be Shenxu Cave Heaven's cave heaven," Zhang Taixuan said, leaving behind a portal, forged onto a golden metal and transformed into a token.

The golden metal was extraordinary—it was a fragment of a Great Sage's sacred weapon from the Jin Ling clan.

Though its divine spirit was gone, the fragment's essence remained exceedingly high, capable of withstanding the force of time for hundreds of thousands of years.

He tossed the token to the Sect Master, who immediately became overwhelmed with emotion.

"Does Shenxu Cave Heaven now have its own cave heaven?!"

"This must not be publicized," Zhang Taixuan waved his hand, then turned toward the outside: "I must go!"

As soon as he spoke, the Sect Master saw the man before him vanish like a dream.

He feared it was all a dream—until he looked at the cave heaven token in his hand and confirmed that Shenxu Cave Heaven's prodigy had indeed returned.

"If Shenxu Cave Heaven were a Sacred Sect, and the prodigy became a Sage, slaying a Great Sage outright, this must be proclaimed across the cosmos, with a grand ceremony to celebrate his ascension."

"But Shenxu Cave Heaven has no foundation at all—we cannot even find someone to protect the prodigy. Alas, I have wronged Taixuan!"

He tucked away the token, made no announcement to the sect, and instead issued a ban: "The Sage Taixuan who achieved Dao is unrelated to Shenxu Cave Heaven. No one shall cling to his name, no one shall use his title to commit evil deeds—if anyone angers the Sage, the sect shall execute them without mercy."

"The Sect Master is overreacting—we all know the Taixuan Sage outside isn't ours!"

"Shallow waters can't hold dragons—how could Shenxu Cave Heaven produce a Sage? What realm is the Sect Master even in?"

"Senior Taixuan may be gifted, but he entered the sect with me—how could he become a Sage? Is this really something we need to be reminded of?"

"You're clever, but the Sect Master isn't foolish. He's afraid some idiot will use Taixuan Sage's name to swindle and deceive!"

"That's true. There are still plenty of fools in this world. If such a person appears, no need for the Taixuan Sage to act—I'll deal with him myself. Daring to provoke a Sage? How bold!"

"I completely agree! Damn it—if such a fool really exists, let's handle him first, before he brings disaster! The Sect Master is truly visionary—he foresaw this exact scenario!"

Half a day later.

An Elder found the Sect Master.

"Sect Master, about that Taixuan Sage…"

"What does he have to do with us?" the Sect Master said, expressionless. "The Taixuan Sage dominates this era—do you think Shenxu Cave Heaven could produce someone like 247?"

"Of course not."

The Sect Master sighed deeply: "I issued that ban precisely to prevent anyone from exploiting the Sage's name."

"I see. A Sage must not be offended—Sect Master, you've gone to great lengths."

After Elder Wang left, several other Elders arrived one after another, each dismissed in the same manner.

"How frustrating!" Once everyone had gone, the Sect Master quietly entered the cave heaven, looked up to the heavens, and took out the Sage scripture and porcelain bottle for careful inspection.

"The Minor Light Scripture!"

The Minor Light Scripture—created by Zhang Taixuan based on the Great Light Incantation—is a Sage scripture; those who cultivate it attain radiant Immortal Platforms, utterly pure and free of dust, making it nearly impossible for demonic thoughts to arise—a truly extraordinary Sage scripture.

"Indeed, this is the method to become a Sage."

"Two Bilo Pills! One alone equals a hundred years of Sage cultivation—this is the foundation upon which Shenxu Cave Heaven will rise. Taixuan has truly not forsaken Shenxu Cave Heaven—this must be recorded!"

"I will record Taixuan's existence within the cave heaven, passing his name to future generations, so that disciples will know a peerless prodigy once emerged from Shenxu Cave Heaven."

Thinking thus, the Sect Master took a divine material and began writing the history of Shenxu Cave Heaven—from ancient times as he knew them, all the way to the present.

Especially Zhang Taixuan—he left behind the most vivid and monumental chapter.
