Chapter 302: The Great Light Scripture, the Pursuit of the Enlightenment Tea Tree (2/7, Requesting Subscription)

In just a moment, Zhang Taixuan crossed dozens of light-years with Lingxi and returned to the Light Clan's ancestral star.

The Light Clan's ancestral star shone brilliantly, radiating an aura of eternal light, and was encircled by a white stellar ring, giving off a sacred and extraordinary feel.

In Zhang Taixuan's perception, this ancestral star was like a degraded version of an Angel Rebirth Pool—the cradle from which the Light Clan was born.

Though he looked down on it, in truth, this place was already a rare treasure land.

This treasure land ensured the Light Clan was born extraordinary, possessing strength and physique far surpassing ordinary humans, laying the foundation to become a great and exceptional clan.

Yet the Light Clan's situation was dire.

Their sole clan treasure was a single Great Saint, whose vital energy had withered to the point of imminent dissolution.

"This Great Saint has roughly three months left to live—no wonder Lingxi came to follow me," Zhang Taixuan thought clearly. "Without powerful backing, this ancestral star of the Light Clan will likely change hands soon."

"Old man Ling Huan bows before Saint Taixuan!"

The next instant, radiant light erupted from the ancestral star as an elderly Great Saint with white hair and beard shot into the sky and appeared before Zhang Taixuan, bowing respectfully.

A Great Saint bowing to a Saint—this was a rare sight unseen in a thousand ages.

"Thank you, Saint, for allowing Lingxi to follow you. From now on, the Light Clan is entrusted to you."

Zhang Taixuan smiled: "Each takes what they need."

"Saint, your mercy," Ling Huan chuckled bitterly. "The Light Clan has nothing worthy of your attention. Lingxi, from now on you are the clan leader. My time is short—I wish to venture into the starry void and see if there's any chance to continue this life."

"Clan Leader!" Lingxi felt sorrowful.

"Foolish child, I've lived seven thousand years—my life is complete. Why such a mournful face?" Ling Huan laughed heartily, stepped into the stars, and vanished.

"Let's go."

After waiting a while, Zhang Taixuan finally spoke, leading Lingxi down to the ancestral star.

Ling Huan's life was nearly over, and Zhang Taixuan indeed had means to save him.

Two Elixir of Longevity pills, and several strands of Elixir of Longevity herbs.

But any normal person would never give such precious things to a stranger.

He was no different.

"We bow before Saint Taixuan!"

As soon as they landed on the ancient star, the Light Clan had already lined up to welcome them, their voices unified.

Just moments ago, they had witnessed the battle in the void through Ling Huan's methods.

Saint Taixuan, as the strongest Saint in history, had slain Great Saints with a single sword—fiercely brutal.

For him to allow the Light Clan to follow him was an unimaginable stroke of fortune.

"Rise. From now on, Lingxi will lead the Light Clan. All else remains unchanged." Zhang Taixuan cared nothing for the Light Clan's power.

This was a fantasy world—so long as one's strength was sufficient, subordinates would naturally be loyal and useful.

He only needed to ensure his own power remained supreme.

"We obey the Saint's decree."

The crowd roared in assent.

…

Light Mountain.

The highest peak on the ancestral star, and the very heart of the Light Clan's heritage.

"Master, these are the Light Clan's cultivation scriptures—highest level is Great Saint, left behind by an ancient clan member."

"Other scriptures mostly only reach the King realm. Also, here are numerous Saint materials and Divine Sources—please accept them, Master."

"Keep the Divine Sources. No need for Saint materials," Zhang Taixuan waved his hand. "After the Jin Ling battle, I acquired more than a hundred million units of Saint materials. Keep your meager wealth for yourselves."

Though the Light Clan was far weaker than the Jin Ling Clan, their one hundred million jin of Divine Sources was more than enough to justify Lingxi's following him.

After settling this, Zhang Taixuan picked up a scripture and began reading.

【You have comprehended the Feathered Wing True Scripture, deepening your understanding of the Light-affiliated laws.】

【You have comprehended the Divine Art, deepening your understanding of the Light-affiliated laws.】

【You have mastered the Holy Scripture of Light, deepening your understanding of the Light-affiliated laws.】

【You have mastered…】

【Combining Angelic Law, Angelic Cultivation Method, Great Light Incantation, the Wuxing Heavenly Book's traits, and numerous Light cultivation methods, you have created the Emperor Scripture: The Great Light Scripture!】

The Great Light Scripture: An Emperor-grade Light-affiliated scripture. When perfected, it allows the cultivator to transform into the Lord of Light. Due to the Wuxing Heavenly Book's traits, the practitioner of this scripture will be controlled by its creator.

"Lingxi, I have a scripture that can reach the Emperor realm," Zhang Taixuan said, glancing at Lingxi beside him. "But after cultivating it, you will be under my control. Will you still cultivate it?"

"I will."

Lingxi did not hesitate for a moment.

In her view, even the slightest hesitation would be an insult to the Emperor Scripture.

Controlled by someone?

Wasn't she already following her Master?

"Excellent!" Zhang Taixuan nodded, deeply satisfied with her attitude.

Subordinates must be obedient.

A subordinate with personality is not a good subordinate.

"This scripture is called The Great Light Scripture. It specializes in cultivating Light-affiliated power and suits you perfectly. I hope you become the Light Clan's first Emperor."

Lingxi was startled: "Lingxi dares not! With Master present, how could I, who am unworthy, attain the Dao?"

The heavens and earth are flawed—two Emperors cannot coexist.

In Lingxi's eyes, her Master was so monstrous—how could anyone else ever hope to attain the Dao?

"I say you can, and you can," Zhang Taixuan said calmly, pointing a finger and transmitting The Great Light Scripture to her. "This Emperor Scripture has no forbidden techniques—create your own."

He will definitely attain enlightenment.

He must also obtain the Heavenly Heart Seal to study it.

But he may not hold onto it forever.

After all, the Heavenly Heart Seal has limited utility—once studied, it's done. He has no desire to forever remain stationed in the Mortal Realm.

The Heavenly Heart Seal is both a blessing and a duty.

"Yes, your servant will surely not fail your expectations!" Ling Xi glanced at the scripture and immediately sensed its profound profundity—far surpassing her clan's Holy Scripture of Light by more than a billionfold.

This is a supreme 247 Treasure Scripture.

The Light Clan's decision to follow the Master was exceedingly correct.

"Go. Do not disturb me unless it is urgent!" Zhang Taixuan waved his hand, then relaxed. "Little one, come out!"

The next moment, a small tree drew near, swaying as if bowing in greeting.

"Wu Dao Tea Tree, why have you come here?" Zhang Taixuan asked.

Through insight into the patterns of heaven and earth, Zhang Taixuan knew at once the identity of the small tree before him.

Moreover, the tea tree's leaves were uniquely shaped—some like bells and tripods, some like axes and halberds, some like swords and daggers…

Anyone who had read Ye Hei's story would surely know its identity.

Unlike in the future, this small tree was still merely a sapling.

The tea tree's leaves rustled, and it swayed again.

"You wish to follow me?" Zhang Taixuan was surprised. "Very well, then follow me. After all, herding one sheep is the same as herding a flock."

Upon hearing this, the Wu Dao Tea Tree bowed again, shaking loose nine leaves.

Zhang Taixuan, seeing this, did not refuse, but collected them and cast a Sweet Dew Spell upon the tea tree.

As the Sweet Dew Spell descended, pure white raindrops fell. The Wu Dao Tea Tree danced joyfully, and its trunk grew three chi taller.

A normal Sweet Dew Spell provides only spiritual energy; Zhang Taixuan had refined this spell to its deepest extent—within it were not only spiritual energy, but also healing Light Qi and Creation Qi from the Art of Creation. With this single spell, the tea tree had saved at least a hundred years of growth cycle.
