The Enlightenment Tea Tree! (4K)

Lu Changsheng followed Ye Wuxin of the Shadowless Hall to the depths of the Rear Mountain the Taihua Sacred Ground.

The Taihua Sacred Ground covers a vast area, and the Rear Mountain holds many secrets. Neither the Saint nor the Saintess have permission to enter any of the key areas in the Rear Mountain.

After Lin Xuantong decided to let his disciple and daughter take charge of the Holy Land, Lu Changsheng finally had the opportunity to access places that other Elders and disciples could not reach.

Deep in the Rear Mountain end, revealing a completely separate world inside.

A gentle breeze and light clouds drifted across the vast lake, where ripples spread across its surface.

In the middle of a lake as smooth as a mirror, there is a solitary island, and on that island stands a divine tree forty-nine feet tall.

The leaves of this sacred tree are as green as jade, radiating vibrant life.

"Enlightenment Tea!"

Lu Changsheng was greatly surprised when he saw the shape of the leaves.

Every single tea leaf from the Enlightenment Tea Tree is a Sixteenth Grade and heavenly materials and earthly treasures of the highest grade.

And the leaves of this sacred tree are countless!

The Enlightenment Tea Leaf comes from this sacred tree.

With so many Enlightenment Tea Leaves, the value of this divine tree is immeasurable.

"This is the Mountain-Suppressing Treasure of our Taihua Mountain — the Enlightenment Tea Tree. There is only one of its kind in the entire world. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the most important treasure of Taihua Mountain. It is thanks to the Enlightenment Tea that Taihua Mountain has cultivated a large number of geniuses and also won over other Sects to serve us."

Lin Xuantong was meditating and cultivating under the Enlightenment Tea Tree when he saw Lu Changsheng arrive, so he got up.

Lu Changsheng arrived at the foot of the Enlightenment Tea Tree. Just smelling the fragrance of the tea leaves Lu Changsheng every pore on his body relax, his hearing and vision sharpen, and his comprehension improve.

The Enlightenment Tea Tree truly deserves its reputation as Mountain-Suppressing Treasure, one of the most precious heavenly materials and earthly treasures in the Immortal Realm.

Ordinary heavenly materials and earthly treasures are gone once they're used up, but the Enlightenment Tea Tree can produce Enlightenment Tea Leaves every so often.

This is the most important treasure left to future generations by the Taihua Goddess.

If Lu Changsheng hadn't been in charge of the Holy Land, he wouldn't have had the right to see the Enlightenment Tea Tree.

However, having tasted the Sword Dao Divine Fruit with similar effects, Lu Changsheng wouldn't covet the Enlightenment Tea Tree: "I wonder why Master sent Ye Wuxin to bring me here?"

Lin Xuantong did not answer directly, "The Enlightenment Tea Tree is one of the divine trees formed at the beginning of the creation of heaven and earth. Along with the Ginseng Fruit Tree and the Peach of Immortality Tree, it is a treasure of Primordial Chaos. The Ginseng Fruit Tree and the Peach of Immortality Tree can be grafted, but they only have one ancestral tree. The Enlightenment Tea Tree is different. It has never been grafted. There is only one tree, and it has no descendants."

"In Remote Antiquity times, the Taihua Goddess accidentally obtained the Enlightenment Tea Tree. After establishing the Taihua Sacred Ground on Taihua Mountain, she created a separate space and transplanted the Enlightenment Tea Tree into it, which is this place."

People only know that the Enlightenment Tea Tree can produce Enlightenment Tea Leaf, but what they don't know is that even Enlightenment Tea has different grades.

"The Taihua Goddess divided the Enlightenment Tea into Third-Grade."

"The Third-Grade tea, considered inferior, is produced in only one batch every ten thousand years. It is a Sixteenth Grade heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and also the most common Enlightenment Tea."

"The Second-Grade Enlightenment Tea is of medium quality, with only one batch produced every million years. It is Eighteenth Grade heavenly materials and earthly treasures, already considered precious in our Taihua Mountain. It is usually only offered as tribute to our ancestors and some geniuses who are eager to break through."

"The First-Grade Enlightenment Tea is the finest, produced only once every hundred million years. Its quantity is extremely limited; even I might not be qualified to enjoy it. The first-grade tea leaves are a Twenty-First-Grade heavenly materials and earthly treasures of the twenty-first grade."

Upon Lin Xuantong's words, Lu Changsheng noticed that the tea leaves of the Enlightenment Tea Tree were indeed slightly different.

The finest Enlightenment Tea is rated as Twenty-First-Grade heavenly materials and earthly treasures, ranking alongside the Sword Dao Divine Fruit.

The difference is that the Sword Dao Divine Fruit is specifically designed to enhance Sword Dao Comprehension.

Enlightenment Tea Leaf can enhance one's understanding of the Three Thousand Great Daos, but on average, the improvement is not as significant as that of the Sword Dao Divine Fruit.

Lin Xuantong continued, "Your aptitude is astonishing. If you quickly advance to the Ninth-Grade God King Realm, your abilities will improve dramatically. Therefore, after discussion, the elders have decided to bestow upon you a piece of First-Grade Enlightenment Tea Leaf to help you break through to the Ninth-Grade God King Realm as soon as possible. However, I believe that, just in case, you should be given two pieces of First-Grade Enlightenment Tea Leaf. The elders have also agreed."

Lin Xuantong took out two wooden boxes, each containing a piece of Supreme-Grade Enlightenment Tea.

These two Enlightenment Tea Leaves, imbued with the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi for a hundred million years, were able to grow to their current state.

Lin Xuantong was truly exceptional to himself; he had acquired a Twenty-First-Grade treasure and even specially requested an extra one from the various patriarchs.

Lin Xuantong that Lu Changsheng had lingered at the Immortal Emperor Ninth Stage for 30,000 years, so in order to help Lu Changsheng break through, he applied to the patriarchs for two pieces of Supreme-Grade Enlightenment Tea.

Even with Lin Xuantong's status, he did not have the authority to allocate first-class tea. Only after the elders discussed the matter could the ownership of the tea be decided.

The venerable ancestors are the core fighting force of the Taihua Sacred Ground, and their shared attitude is also the attitude of the Holy Land.

Thank you, Master.

Lu Changsheng knew that these two Supreme-Grade Enlightenment Tea were of great importance to him.

With the help of Supreme-Grade Enlightenment Tea, one can break through to the Ninth-Grade God King Realm sooner.

If Lu Changsheng's cultivation level were the same as Imperial Son Ku's at the Heavenly Court Assembly, both being Ninth-Grade God Kings, then he wouldn't have had to go through so much trouble to defeat Imperial Son Ku.

Enlightenment Tea Leaf can also aid in the cultivation of the Three Thousand Great Daos.

Over the course of thirty thousand years, Lu Changsheng diligently studied the second chapter of the Fifth Sword Realm's Mnemonic, but failed to comprehend it for a long time.

The second Sword Art is ten times more Sword Art than the first.

By using First-Grade Enlightenment Tea Leaf, one can also enhance their Sword Dao Comprehension.

While Lu Changsheng was talking to Lin Xuantong, Ye Wuxin suddenly shuddered.

Lin Xuantong noticed Ye Wuxin's unusual behavior. "What's wrong?"

Ye Wuxin's voice was hoarse. "The Life Lamps of all those guarding the Three Lights Divine Spring have been extinguished; they are all dead."

What happened?

Lin Xuantong's face turned ashen, and veins bulged on his forehead.

Lu Changsheng had rarely seen Lin Xuantong so furious.

The Taihua Sacred Ground seemed to have suffered heavy losses, which enraged Lin Xuantong.

Ye Wuxin replied, "It's not clear yet, but it's estimated that it's the Blood Sea Hall that dared to target our Taihua Sacred Ground. They even found the location of the Three Lights Divine Spring."

"Three Lights Divine Spring?"

Lu Changsheng discovered that his previous authorization was not high enough, and that there were still many secrets about the Taihua Sacred Ground that Lu Changsheng was unaware of.

You should know about the Three Lights Divine Water, right?

"Um."

Lu Changsheng knew that the so-called Three Lights Divine Water was golden sunlight divine water, silver moonlight divine water, and purple starlight divine water, which could cure all poisons in the world, restore flesh to bones, and revive the dead.

Lu Changsheng once used the only drop of the Three Lights Divine Water to help his Senior Brother Li Changye heal his injuries.

The Three Lights Divine Water is rated as Eighteenth Grade heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and is one of the most spiritual waters in the world.

"The Three Lights Divine Spring is a spiritual spring between heaven and earth. It absorbs the essence of sunlight during the day and the essence of moonlight and starlight at night. Over time, it merges the essence of the Sun, Moon, and Stars to generate the Three Lights Divine Water. In the entire immortal Immortal Realm, the known number of Three Lights Divine Springs is extremely small. Thirty million years ago, an ancestor of our Taihua Mountain accidentally found a clear pool while traveling, which contained a small amount of Three Lights Divine Water. For this reason, our Taihua Sacred Ground dispatched several experts from the Shadowless Hall to establish Sects in the area under the guise of Rogue Cultivators, secretly protecting the Three Lights Divine Spring and collecting the Three Lights Divine Water."

Lin Xuantong explained the cause and effect of the matter in just a few words.

The Three Lights Divine Spring can produce Three Lights Divine Water, which, although not as valuable as the Mountain-Suppressing Treasure Enlightenment Tea Tree, the treasure of Taihua Mountain, is still an important resource.

Unclaimed items are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

The Three Lights Divine Spring was discovered in the Taihua Sacred Ground, but the expert guarding the spring was killed, no wonder Lin Xuantong was furious.

What should we do now?

Ye Wuxin looked at Lin Xuantong.

The Shadowless Hall is a force of the Ye Clan of the Taihua Sacred Ground, but it only obeys Lin Xuantong's orders.

"The Blood Sea Hall dared to kill people from our Taihua Sacred Ground; this grudge cannot go unavenged. But this could also be a trap."

Lin Xuantong back and forth, his brows furrowed.

From his perspective, this matter was unusual.

The Blood Sea Hall killed the expert guarding the Three Lights Divine Spring, seemingly to seize the Three Lights Divine Water. However, the Three Lights Divine Water took a long time to form, and the Blood Sea Hall doesn't seem like the type to guard the Three Lights Divine Spring for an extended period.

"Changsheng, what do you think?"

Lin Xuantong wanted to hear Lu Changsheng's opinion.

To take charge of Holy Land requires not only cultivation level but also strategic thinking.

There are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding. Cultivation skills will always be insufficient at times, but through strategy, one can sometimes make up for the lack of cultivation.

"Let me think about it."

Lu Changsheng secretly used the simulation function of the Apprentice-Teaching Simulator, with the simulation condition being to take Lu Qinglian to the Three Lights Divine Spring to seek revenge against the Blood Sea Hall.

[Ding, you have begun simulating the life of your Disciple, "Lu Qinglian".]

[Ding, today's simulation attempts -1.]

[Simulation begins:]

[Lu Qinglian followed the Taihua Sacred Ground's team to the Cold Pool Forest.]

Lu Qinglian was ambushed.

[Lu Qinglian and you defeated the Blood Sea Hall experts who were lying in ambush and successfully returned to Taihua Mountain.]

[Five thousand years later, Lu Qinglian received your Transmission Empowerment and broke through to the Immortal Emperor Sixth Stage.]

[Simulation ended.]

It was definitely a trap!

However, judging from the system simulation results, it seems that this time it was a close call but ultimately harmless?

The system simulation results have not yet shown any errors, so they are worth referencing.

Lu Changsheng replied to Lin Xuantong, "In my opinion, this must be a conspiracy by the Blood Sea Hall."

Are you so sure?

"Yes. The Blood Sea Hall attacked the Three Lights Divine Spring, ostensibly to seize the Three Lights Divine Water, but in reality, it's very likely they were after the disciple. They wanted to kill the disciple to prevent him from growing up and becoming a major threat. The disciple has been cultivating in seclusion on Taihua Mountain for many years, and they dared not easily break into Taihua Mountain due to Taihua Mountain Mountain-Guarding Formation. That's why they resorted to this tactic to lure the snake out of its hole."

Your deduction makes a lot of sense.

Lin Xuantong revealed a satisfied expression.

This disciple of his was not only exceptionally talented, surpassing even the Heavenly Emperor's Son, but also possessed outstanding wisdom and had inherited much of Lin Xuantong's True Disciple.

Lin Xuantong was most proud of his intellect, not his cultivation level.

"We still need to be patient until you grow up."

Although Lin Xuantong was furious, he quickly calmed down, displaying a frightening composure.

Although many skilled fighters from the Taihua Sacred Ground were killed by the Blood Sea Hall, the overall situation should be prioritized at this time.

Once Lu Changsheng grows up, he alone can be worth a thousand masters.

"No, that's not how I see it."

What does this mean?

Lu Changsheng's words shocked both Lin Xuantong and Ye Wuxin.

Does Lu Changsheng have other ideas?

"Since the Blood Sea Hall intends to ambush us, why not turn the tables and wipe out these Demons in one fell swoop, leaving no one alive?"

Lu Changsheng's ruthlessness made Lin Xuantong and Ye Wuxin admire this junior even more.

Sometimes, taking charge of the Taihua Sacred Ground requires a ruthless streak; after all, a merciful leader cannot command an army.

"The difficulty lies in not knowing how many Demons from the Blood Sea Hall are lurking in the Cold Pool Forest..."

"The more skilled fighters you bring, the better."

"You... you're really steady. Okay."

Lin Xuantong found this disciple to be ruthless yet steady, and became increasingly satisfied. Therefore, he decided to act according to Lu Changsheng's idea, bringing as many experts from the Holy Land as possible to eliminate this group of Demons.

"Ye Wuxin, take the eight Grand Supreme Elders of the Shadowless Hall with you."

"Yes."

Ye Wuxin.

"I need to invite several patriarchs to discuss matters together. You should go back and use the Enlightenment Tea to see if you can step into the God King Realm. If you become Ninth-Grade God King, you can treat this as an opportunity for training and consolidating your realm."

Lin Xuantong was also unable to issue orders to the ancestors of the Holy Land, who were at the level of patriarchs, and it would take time to persuade them to come out of seclusion.

"But that's not what I think."

What are your plans?

"Does the Blood Sea Hall intend to kill me? Then I will undergo my Tribulation Transcendence on the spot, carrying the Heavenly Tribulation, and charge into the Demon of the Blood Sea Hall."

Ah?

Lin Xuantong was utterly shocked.

Lu Changsheng actually wanted to use the Heavenly Tribulation to kill his enemy!

This disciple is truly insane; he actually wants to drag the Demon of the Blood Sea Hall into the Heavenly Tribulation.

The Heavenly Tribulation between the Immortal Emperor Realm and the God King Realm will attract the Great Dao Golden Thunder, which is extremely powerful. Once affected, even God King Realm will be in danger.

"This is far too dangerous for you. You are the future of our Taihua Sacred Ground, and I cannot let you take such a risk."

Lin Xuantong refused.

This is a good idea, but Tribulation Transcendence is already difficult, and being interfered with by the Demons of the Blood Sea Hall will undoubtedly reduce the success rate of the Tribulation Transcendence.

Lin Xuantong only hoped that Lu Changsheng could successfully break through to the God King Realm and avoid any unforeseen complications.

"I am absolutely certain."

Lu Changsheng found through the system simulation that there was indeed no danger, so he might as well give it a try.

The Blood Sea Hall wanted to trick him, and he would retaliate in kind.

"Since you're so confident, then I'll trust you."

After much deliberation, Lin Xuantong realized that since Lu Changsheng was about to take charge of the Taihua Sacred Ground and become an independent leader, he couldn't always interfere.

"Then this disciple will take his leave."

Lu Changsheng returned to Yuntai Peak and decided to use a Supreme-Grade Enlightenment Tea first.

Lu Changsheng prepared a glass of water, opened the wooden box, and the aroma of tea filled the air, refreshing and delightful.

The Supreme-Grade Enlightenment Tea lives up to its name.

If Lu Changsheng hadn't proven himself at the Heavenly Court Assembly, he might not have been able to obtain the First-Grade Enlightenment Tea Leaf bestowed by the Holy Land.

"Wait, I have Apprentice-Teaching Simulator. I wonder if the system will return first-grade tea if I reward someone with ordinary Enlightenment Tea Leaf?"

Lu Changsheng suddenly realized that he could use the system to farm top-grade tea leaves. Wouldn't that mean he wouldn't lack First-Grade Enlightenment Tea Leaves?
