Chapter 1101

However, when everyone turned around, there was no trace of Xiao Yan left there.

Not to mention Xiao Yan, even Tian Lei Zi and the Gu clan people beside him were no longer in their original spots.

Only in the distant horizon could one barely see a few tiny black dots.

"Damn it, Xiao Yan, you little thief, how dare you betray our trust!"

Seeing this, the others immediately realized they had been misled by that bastard Xiao Yan.

Thinking of this, everyone felt embarrassed and, unable to contain their anger, gritted their teeth and cursed Xiao Yan wildly.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Meanwhile, while cursing, the people unwilling to miss the chance to become saints immediately sped off in full pursuit of the direction Xiao Yan fled.

"What should we do now? Should we still chase?"

Seeing those people give chase, the Soul clan party immediately approached Hun Yu and asked.

Upon hearing that, Hun Yu, with a grim yet handsome face, gritted his teeth and said: "Can we still catch up to them? Return to the clan!"

As soon as his words fell, the former turned and left.

"That's fine."

Realizing they indeed had no advantage here, the others had no choice but to turn around helplessly and catch up to Hun Yu.

On the other side, with the help of the Gu clan members and Tian Lei Zi, Xiao Yan also managed to shake off those experts.

Finally, with a flash of his figure, he vanished into the horizon, never to be seen again.

However, although Xiao Yan successfully escaped the pursuit of those experts who had also gone to the Manghuang Ancient Domain.

But he successfully obtained the news of the Bodhi Heart, which had not appeared for ten thousand years, and it spread across the entire Zhongzhou Continent like a hurricane of rank five or higher, sweeping everything in an instant.

In an instant, the half-saint experts who had originally been forbidden from going to the Manghuang Ancient Domain to vie for opportunities suddenly became energized; each, upon hearing the news, left their seclusion and frantically searched for Xiao Yan's traces.

As for Xiao Yan, who had become the target of everyone's wrath across the Zhongzhou Continent, he had originally been hiding in an extremely remote mountainous area to absorb.

But who would have thought that, due to the news of the Bodhi Heart being too alluring, everyone from the dying elderly to toddlers just able to walk were searching for Xiao Yan's whereabouts.

Even the intelligent magical beasts were no exception; they immediately dispatched their subordinates to seek Xiao Yan's traces.

Therefore, even though that region was extremely remote.

But after Xiao Yan had hidden for nearly a month, he was still found out.

Subsequently, he, who had just relied on the Bodhi Heart's energy to break through to the peak of Nine-turn Dou Zun, was immediately subjected to a frenzied pursuit by more than twenty half-saint experts.

Among them were some who were the supreme elders or former leaders of certain forces.

This included members of the "Five Clans and Seven Sects".

Even later, some Dou Sheng-level experts began to stir restlessly.

After all, although the Bodhi Heart is useless to them, it is of great use to their descendants and their families!

If they could produce another peak Dou Sheng expert for their family, the benefits would be self-evident.

Finally, if it weren't for Gu Xun'er's rescue once more, Xiao Yan would likely have died on the spot under the siege of more than twenty half-saint experts.

However, although Xiao Yan was temporarily taken away by Gu Xun'er, preventing others from seizing his Bodhi Heart.

Yet the news of Xiao Yan obtaining the Bodhi Heart was the talk of the entire Zhongzhou Continent.

After eating and drinking to their fill, people inevitably brought it up in conversation.

Meanwhile, as Xiao Yan's news of obtaining the Bodhi Heart spread throughout Zhongzhou, Lin Feng and his companions far in the Manghuang Ancient Domain had long been completely forgotten by the vast majority of people.

At this very moment, they were sitting cross-legged inside the trunk of the ancient tree, with strange undulations emanating around them.

And this situation, after they had spent thirty days in the tree trunk, finally caused the bark to tremble slightly, and their bodies began to move.

Finally, their eyes, which had been shut for a month, slowly opened.

At the same time, as the few people inside the Bodhi ancient tree slowly opened their eyes, the space filled with vital energy suddenly rippled with strange undulations.

At this moment, if someone were present and made eye contact with Lin Feng and the others' eyes,

one could feel that, compared to a month ago, their eyes now held an additional sense of world-weary insight that sees through all things.

At the same time, this world-weariness penetrated deep into their souls, impossible to feign.

"Is this... the end of reincarnation?"

Lin Feng opened his mouth somewhat unfamiliar, and after a moment, a hoarse voice, even carrying an ancient aura, softly emanated from his mouth.

However, as soon as that ancient voice sounded, the sense of world-weariness that had permeated Lin Feng's eyes gradually retracted inward and eventually vanished completely.

"Huu~"

Accompanying the disappearance of that world-weariness, Lin Feng immediately stood up and exhaled a long mouthful of emerald-green gas.

At the same time, the few women beside him also woke up in succession, their gazes somewhat dazed as they swept over the surroundings.

Finally, after a brief pause, they regained their senses and realized they were inside the trunk of the ancient tree.

"It's truly been perilous, but we've finally made it back!"

Having regained her senses, Zhao Ran couldn't help but let out a frightened sigh, then slowly rose to her feet.

In those endless cycles of reincarnation, she experienced all kinds of different lives.

There was happiness, also bitterness, joy, and even more sorrow; she was on the verge of getting lost in those endless cycles of reincarnation.

Upon hearing that, the other few women also nodded in agreement.

In those endless cycles of reincarnation, they seemed to have truly lived for tens of thousands of years.

In that endless span of time, they repeatedly changed their identities and underwent all sorts of experiences.

That feeling is truly impossible to put into words.

"Hehe, it seems everyone gained quite a lot from this hundred-life reincarnation!"

Lin Feng swept his gaze over the women, then chuckled lightly.

Upon hearing that, Xiao Yixian's beautiful eyes swept over the other few women, and she nodded slightly, saying: "That's right; this hundred-life reincarnation of the ancient tree is truly heaven-defying, not only making us feel as if we had personally experienced tens of thousands of years, but also completely transforming our strength."

I feel that I now, almost, have already half a foot stepped into the Dou Saint realm; if it weren't for the reincarnation abruptly ending, even if I had another life, I might be able to directly break through to that true Dou Saint realm.

While speaking, Xiao Yixian immediately clenched her jade hands, her tone carrying a hint of excitement.

At this moment, she finally understood why her man had repeatedly warned him beforehand, insisting that she must not attempt to break through to the Half Saint Realm.

It's simply that the opportunity here is too heaven-defying; this mere hundred-life reincarnation has directly saved her at least several hundred years of time.

Directly from a previous Nine-turn Dou Zun, he suddenly leapt to the current half-step Dou Saint.

Hearing Xiao Yixian's words, Xin Lan also expressed strong agreement: "Xian Er sister is right; this time, the ancient tree has helped us greatly. Without it, I too could not have leapt directly to the current initial Half Saint in such a short time."

While speaking, Xin Lan's pretty face was also filled with intense surprise and excitement.

After all, without the ancient tree's help, even if she had the vast resources of her husband's family, it would still be insufficient.

Without several decades, it would probably also be difficult to break through to her current realm.

While speaking, her gaze immediately swept over her husband, Xiao Yixian, Qing Lin, and Zhao Ran.

In her perception, these few individuals possessed the greatest strength.

I fear that the distance to that true Dou Saint realm is, just as Xian Er sister said earlier, only a half-step away.

Meanwhile, Cao Ying, Dan Chen, and Yun Yun beside them also similarly sensed their own strength with surprise and delight.

Before this, none of the three had expected that they could reach the advanced Half Saint / intermediate Half Saint so quickly.

As for Zhao Ran, amidst his excitement, he immediately drew a cold breath inwardly, thinking: "Lin Feng brought me here this time; I owe him a huge favor."

At that moment, Lin Feng slowly approached the edge of the Bodhi Ancient Tree's trunk, then reached out and lightly touched it.

And at the instant Lin Feng's palm made contact with the Bodhi Ancient Tree, ripples immediately spread across his fingertips.

Immediately afterward, his fingers, like liquid, slowly penetrated and emerged from the extremely hard Bodhi Ancient Tree.

Let's go, we'll head out first and talk later, but this time we really ought to properly thank the ancient tree.

While speaking, Lin Feng immediately stepped forward, and his body, just like his fingers earlier, easily passed through the trunk of the Bodhi Ancient Tree and arrived in the external space.

Upon inhaling the fresh air of the outside world, Lin Feng also stretched, loosening his long-unmoved body.

Seeing this, the other women exchanged glances, then one after another walked out of the Bodhi Ancient Tree, likewise arriving in the external space.

Seeing everyone gathered, they all simultaneously looked toward the wholly jade-green ancient tree before them and cupped their hands, saying, "Ancient tree, thank you."

Swish!

Seeing that, the ancient tree immediately swayed its branches, as if saying it's fine, no thanks needed.

Buzz!

And after it shook, a surge of rich emerald-green light flashed across the ancient tree's body.

Immediately afterward, eight branches shot out from the dense limbs of the ancient tree, whooshing through space before plunging sharply into Lin Feng and the others' bodies.

This

Seeing the Bodhi Ancient Tree suddenly erupt, Lin Feng and the eight others were all dumbfounded.

Because they had no grudge whatsoever with the Bodhi Ancient Tree, why would the other side—

Gurgle—

And while they were unable to react, streams of rich emerald-green energy rapidly poured out from the ancient tree and then flooded into Lin Feng and the others' bodies like a deluge covering sky and earth.

Bang!

Immediately afterward, they felt their chests, and their heartbeats suddenly became unusual.
