Chapter 1087: with translation of chapter title

Just as the former was cursing loudly, the figures of the two on the other side were completely revealed.

And these two people, unsurprisingly, were Yao Chen and Xiao Yan, master and disciple.

"Hehe, indeed it's you two. I never thought the renowned Holy Pill Master of Zhongzhou Continent would also bring his disciple to do such tailing—truly 'open and aboveboard'!"

While speaking, Lin Feng sensed the powerful auras continually rushing over from around, disturbed by the aftermath of the previous battle, and he immediately sneered, "Scarface, I'll let you off for now; later, I hope you keep being this lucky."

As soon as his words fell, Lin Feng immediately inhaled with his palm, sucking the distant scorpion corpse on the ground into his palm.

Then he waved at the distant Qing Lin, and swiftly fled into the distance.

After all, the commotion from the battle had already attracted many experts' attention; it was better to leave first.

And seeing this, Qing Lin immediately darted after the direction Lin Feng had left.

"Bastard, Lin Feng, you son of a bitch!"

Hearing that title, Xiao Yan immediately exploded in rage, shouting angrily.

After all, the scar on his face was already a knot in his heart, and now being mocked to his face, how could he not be angry!

However, by now Lin Feng had already flown who knows how many li away; he couldn't possibly hear Xiao Yan's curses.

Thus, he was destined to grit his teeth, staring with wide eyes at the direction Lin Feng had gone, fuming.

"Ah, Xiao Yan, don't take his words to heart; he just wants to provoke you and make you angry. You should stay calm and not fall for his tricks."

Looking at this disciple, whose temper had become increasingly irritable after a series of blows over the past few years, Yao Chen advised helplessly.

Having just said that, he continued to comfort: "However, you also shouldn't dwell on this matter; the Bodhi Ancient Tree will appear in a month, so we might as well use this time to prepare well and strive to obtain the Bodhi Heart later."

"If we can obtain that, I think you should be able to break through to Dou Emperor within three years. By then, a puny Lin Feng won't even withstand your slap."

Hearing his teacher's consolation, Xiao Yan's furious expression gradually began to subside.

Thinking of the Bodhi Ancient Tree, his eyes firmed as he clenched his fists and said in a low voice, "This time, no matter what, I must obtain the Bodhi Heart; once I reach Dou Emperor, when the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire appears, my possession of multiple strange fires and fire spirits will give me far greater chances than others."

"Then, as long as I absorb the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire again, capture Lin Feng, and draw out his internal strange fire to devour, under heaven there's nowhere I cannot go!"

Thinking of the many cultivation resources on Lin Feng's body, Xiao Yan said in a grim tone: "Lin Feng, wait for me. One day I will make you repay double the grievances you inflicted on me. Moreover, one day I will cripple the Dou Qi of your several wives and, before you, XXOO them all!"

As he spoke on, his tone was filled with endless resentment.

He hated Lin Feng for snatching away several of his strange fires; he hated that Lin Feng forcibly seized his teacher's lifetime collection.

He hated that Lin Feng repeatedly schemed and opposed him, causing him to waste much time and resources for nothing.

All of this is Lin Feng's fault!

If the other party were willing to give him all the strange fires, and if they didn't oppose him, after absorbing so many strange fires he would certainly have reached that Dou Emperor realm.

By then, he would be a step closer to marrying his childhood sweetheart and rescuing his father and two brothers.

All of this is because of Lin Feng, which is why he has fallen into today's predicament.

His misfortune is all brought by that Lin Feng; he hates it so much!

Whenever he thinks of this, he wishes to immediately retaliate against Lin Feng in the most vicious way.

Of course, toying with his wife in front of him, Xiao Yan feels this might be an excellent way of revenge.

After all, when he was young, he had already gone to peek at Xiao Yu bathing.

When he was underage, Xiao Yu provoked him; if not for Gu Xun'er appearing behind the mountain, he might have dared to forcibly XXOO her.

And now, due to the successive incidents, his psyche beginning to twist, he naturally cares even less about these things.

Now, he only wants to madly torment Lin Feng to vent his unwillingness.

At the same time, he also blames all his misfortune on Lin Feng.

After all, when a person's psychological repression reaches a peak, they will start seeking the 'culprit' of all this and carry out frenzied retaliation.

And Lin Feng is precisely that 'culprit' in Xiao Yan's heart!

That said, it's no wonder Xiao Yan's mentality has become twisted.

The situation in the original work was several times better than now, yet Xiao Yan still feels extremely oppressed.

If not for the encouragement of his two brothers, the silent support of Medusa and Xiao Yixian, Yao Chen's later return, and Gu Xun'er's help, Xiao Yan's mentality would be at risk of distortion.

But now, Xiao Yan not only has gained Lin Feng as a powerful enemy, but also only has Gu Xun'er, his childhood sweetheart who cannot stay by his side long-term.

As for the others like Medusa and Xiao Yixian, they not only have no goodwill toward him, but their hatred is maxed out.

Furthermore, in the previous skirmish with Lin Feng, large amounts of cultivation resources were looted, and afterward he was expelled from the Pill Tower, losing its protection.

Not long ago, due to various matters, Xiao Yan further offended the Lei clan, which ranks second among the seven Dou Emperor families.

Anyone seeing this situation would have their emotions break.

Meanwhile, as Lin Feng and Qing Lin headed for the Manghuang Ancient Realm, during this period the information concerning the Bodhi Ancient Tree spread like a storm.

At an extremely terrifying speed, it swept across nearly the entire Zhongzhou Continent!

Under those simple four words 'Bodhi Ancient Tree,' the whole Zhongzhou was undoubtedly like a pool struck by a heavy bomb, thoroughly shaken.

Even some reclusive old monsters who hadn't appeared for ages were directly blown out by this earth-shaking bomb.

Although the Manghuang Ancient Realm is extremely dangerous, even those old monsters cannot guarantee they will retreat unscathed.

But all this danger is merely due to insufficient allure.

This time, the allure of the Bodhi Ancient Tree is such that hardly anyone below the Half-Saint can resist.

Therefore, the so-called forbidden zone no longer holds any deterrent power.

Because the Dou Emperor realm now represents the pinnacle level of this continent.

To reach that legendary realm, countless experts have given their all; as long as there is anything that could increase their chances of attaining that level,

then they will rush at it without hesitation!

And while the entire Zhongzhou Continent was reeling from the news of the Bodhi Ancient Tree's emergence, feeling dazed, Lin Feng, with Qing Lin, after shuttling through the void for two days, finally reached the fringe of the Manghuang Ancient Realm.

However, since Lin Feng and Qing Lin had rushed nonstop to the Manghuang Ancient Realm shortly after the space trade fair ended,

thus when they arrived here, there was no scene of crowds pressing in.

And after he and Qing Lin arrived, they immediately headed to the only human settlement near the Manghuang Ancient Territory they were bound for—Manghuang Town.

Manghuang Town, this is the human city closest to the Manghuang Ancient Territory.

However, not many people live here, and because of the fearsome reputation of the Manghuang Ancient Territory, few come here, so it is almost deserted year-round.

Of course, Lin Feng naturally didn't care about any of this.

After arriving, he immediately went into the dense forest far from the town, then took out a stack of jade slips and crushed them all at once.

"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"

Accompanying the shattering of those spatial jade slips, spatial wormholes appeared one after another beside Lin Feng.

However, of those several spatial wormholes, only two people flew out from them, arriving beside Lin Feng and Qing Lin.

"Eh, Chen Er, Ying Er, Xin Lan, Yun'er—where did they go?"

Seeing that only Cao Ying and Dan Chen had arrived, Lin Feng immediately wondered.

Hearing that, Cao Ying spread her hands and explained: "They saw that there was still some time before the Bodhi Ancient Tree appears, so they all went into seclusion to absorb things; they probably won't be able to come out for a while."

"Oh, I see."

Hearing that, Lin Feng furrowed his brows slightly, then reached out to lightly stroke his chin, pondered for a moment, and then looked at Qing Lin and said: "Since that's the case, Qing Lin, you should also go into seclusion and strive to break through to Title: Nine-turn Dou Zun before the Bodhi Ancient Tree appears. I will go absorb that strand of Nine Xuan Golden Lightning within my body. After all, the eight-colored pill I had prepared earlier has already been used up buying the poison scripture for Xian Er."

Saying this, Lin Feng flicked his palm over his spatial ring.

Accompanied by a faint glow, an ancient gray-colored tome appeared in his hand.

This item is precisely the "Heavenly Darkness Poison Canon" he purchased earlier by using an eight-grade eight-colored pill.

Having taken out the item, Lin Feng immediately threw it toward Cao Ying, and at the same time said: "This 'Heavenly Darkness Poison Canon'—when Xiao Yixian arrives later, you just hand it to her."

"No problem."

Hearing that, Cao Ying immediately reached out with her jade hand and received the tome.

As for Lin Feng, he waved his hand and then hurriedly left the place.

After all, the Bodhi Ancient Tree's emergence is drawing ever nearer, so he must seize the time.

"Sister Cao Ying, I'll also go into seclusion first."

Seeing the former leave, Qing Lin smiled, waved at Cao Ying, and likewise hurriedly left the place.

"Ah, these guys have all gone into seclusion; it looks like only I will have to work hard."

Gazing at the empty forest before her, Cao Ying let out a helpless sigh.

Immediately afterward, she looked toward Dan Chen beside her, handed him the tome in her hand, and said: "I'll go scout the situation; you just find a place to wait for Xiao Yixian to arrive."

"Okay."

Hearing that, Dan Chen also honestly received the item.

After all, she clearly knew she was completely unsuited for gathering information, so it was better to stay here honestly.

Meanwhile, as Lin Feng and the others entered seclusion, time did not stop because of it.

As day and night turned, when the time reached the sixth day after everyone entered seclusion, the first ray of morning light broke through the earth's restraints and shone upon the continent.

In the northeastern sky of Central Province, a stream of extremely special pure qi, like a wave, suddenly swept outward from the sky and finally diffused far away.

Anyone who inhaled this pure qi would, deep in their mind, almost invariably see the same image appear at first.

And that fleeting image was precisely an ancient towering tree.

Moreover, although that image was brief, at the instant they saw that great tree, almost everyone could feel a wisp of wisdom emanating from the ancient tree and spreading outward!

Needless to say, this scene could only be the legendary Bodhi Ancient Tree!

When the news was confirmed, at this moment many people who had been half-believing, half-doubting went completely mad.

After all, saying everything and anything, on this Qi Continent, it is all about the strong.

And the Bodhi Ancient Tree, which can directly send a person to the peak Dou Saint realm, this top-tier heavenly treasure, naturally is what can most drive people mad.
