The Demon with Holy Radiance

"Huh? This…"

The cultivator who came to deliver the order was stunned. He hadn't expected such a response from Yang An. How was he supposed to report back?

The cultivators under Yang An's command also stared at him, dumbfounded. Seeing their leader so simply and directly refuse Elder Wen Zhao's order, they all drew a sharp breath.

As one of the Internal Affairs Elders, their power within the entire Golden Thread Pavilion was second only to the Pavilion Master and Thirty Flow. Defying a direct order, especially during wartime, would have extremely severe consequences.

This was why they didn't dare to voice their anger when they received the order to attack the Glazed Tower.

Everyone had thought that Yang An would eventually be forced to accept the order, and they would have no choice but to follow it. But they never expected him to refuse—and even tell Elder Wen Zhao to go himself.

"Hahahaha, Chief! Well done!"

A cultivator in the crowd burst out laughing and cheered for Yang An.

In an instant, the cultivators present all grew excited, looking like a crowd eager to watch a spectacle unfold. The scene became a little chaotic.

They didn't dare to do such a thing, but Yang An did, and they admired him for it.

If Elder Wen Zhao decided to punish someone, the blame would fall solely on Yang An's head. At worst, they would just have to carry out the order eventually.

But before that happened, any delay was a good delay, and getting some rest was worth it.

"Shut up. Quiet down."

Seeing the noisy scene, Yang An said with some annoyance, and the cultivators immediately fell silent.

He turned to the still-hesitating messenger and said in a cold voice:

"Report back exactly what I said. And you'd best go back to wherever you came from right now."

"…Yes!"

Seeing this, the messenger cultivator hesitated no longer, turned around, and hurried back to the Floating Island to report.

After the man left, the cultivators all looked away and took the opportunity to get more rest. Yang An, on the other hand, began mentally practicing the Cultivation Method he had just come into contact with.

'Based on my general knowledge from my past life, while it might not be perfectly accurate when applied to this world, it should still have some reference value.'

'Light can be born in many ways. The creation of Sunlight is based on thermal effects. Simply put, the sun releases energy, which produces sunlight.'

'Looking at the Power of Rules I've grasped, Golden Sun, its concrete manifestation is merely to assimilate myself with Sunlight, using my own Mana to gain the ability to drive, guide, or amplify Sunlight.'

'Therefore, the Power of Rules isn't about completely mastering Sunlight, but rather driving and manipulating it.'

'By the same logic, the other two of the Three Spiritual Light should be the same. From this, it's clear that the Golden Sun Daoist only created the Power of Rules to command the Three Spiritual Light, not the Three Spiritual Light themselves.'

'Besides this method, light can be created in other ways.'

'For example, fireflies produce light through chemical reactions, and deep-sea creatures produce light through their own biological reactions.'

'Even common medical techniques from my past life, like invisible light such as X-rays and ultraviolet rays, are a form of electromagnetic radiation.'

'But even though these methods of creation are different, they all have one vague commonality: the process of producing light involves a manifestation of energy change.'

'It's like how a red-hot piece of iron emits red or white light. The transition from cold to hot, from dark to bright, is a change in its internal energy.'

As Yang An pondered, a small inkling of an idea seemed to form in his mind.

'The Power of the Three Spiritual Light ' Rules is only the power to command light, but what if I could directly create a different kind of light?'

'In this world of cultivation, anything is possible. Perhaps through studying a vast number of Cultivation Methods, I could even find a New Technique capable of creating light.'

'The simplest method might be to try experimenting with a sufficient number of Techniques, exploring the changes in matter and energy from enough microscopic perspectives, and gradually moving from the shallow to the profound.'

'Other people can't use this method to research and experiment because the more Cultivation Methods they master, the greater the price they bear.'

'But I have a special ability that can perform Purification and eliminate that price, so I don't need to worry about it at all.'

'It's worth a try!'

"What? Is that really what he said?"

On the Floating Island, Wen Zhao had returned to his hall and was receiving a report from his subordinate.

The cultivator sent to deliver the order relayed Yang An's reply verbatim. This caused Wen Zhao's expression to darken for a moment before he suddenly broke into a smile.

He had already paid a visit to Zhuan Yu and gotten his answer.

Zhuan Yu had not helped Yang An. The capture of Dragonfly Bamboo Peak was accomplished by Yang An and his group of cultivators.

What he hadn't expected was that the kid who had defected from the Golden Thread Pavilion now actually possessed the strength to kill an Insect Dao. This was completely illogical.

The only explanation he could think of was that the Insect Dao sent by the Great Virtue Temple was too weak, and the kid just got lucky.

After all, the Great Virtue Temple had many Insect Daos, and among them were plenty of individuals whose actual combat strength was nothing special.

Yang An's open defiance was even more surprising, but as long as Zhuan Yu wasn't secretly involved, this was good news for him.

'Since he doesn't dare to attack the Glazed Tower, he can just obediently accept his punishment. This saves me the trouble of beating around the bush and skips right to the end.'

"Go tell him to come to the island to see me. If he defies my orders again, then I will personally pay him a visit."

Wen Zhao said arrogantly. The messenger had no choice but to steel himself and head to Dragonfly Bamboo Peak once again.
