Chapter 227: Xun Er: Brother Gu Fei, let's consummate our marriage!

"A Dou Sheng has come..."

Gu Fei did not look back, but he clearly understood that the Soul Clan had dispatched a powerhouse at the Dou Sheng level to pursue him from behind.

"Bodhi Ancient Tree?!"

Just at this moment, a group of figures behind could not help but let out a series of gasps.

The person in the lead was an old man in black robes, whose cultivation had reached the Three-Star Dou Sheng level.

And Hun Yu, Jiu Feng, and the others had successfully broken through that beast tide area precisely under the cover of this Soul Clan Dou Sheng.

The Bodhi Ancient Tree, a thing that existed only in legends, was something even Hun Yu and his companions, as members of the Ancient Races, had never seen before.

They could only occasionally see descriptions of it in some ancient texts.

"What a massive tree..."

Even though he was extremely far from the Bodhi Ancient Tree, Hun Yu could still feel the vastness of the Bodhi Ancient Tree.

Its canopy spread out to cover the sky and earth, like an ancient holy object standing between heaven and earth, permeated with antiquity and vicissitudes.

"Gu Fei, a treasure such as the Bodhi Ancient Tree is not something your Ancient Clan can lay claim to..."

Gu Fei paused slightly, and the few people behind had already caught up.

At this moment, the Soul Clan Dou Sheng looked at Gu Fei with a sinister gaze, releasing a killing intent without any concealment.

However, Gu Fei's reputation preceded him, so he did not dare to act rashly for the time being.

"Since you of the Soul Clan want to take the treasure, then go ahead and take it..." Gu Fei said with a calm expression while facing the group from the Soul Clan alone.

"What does he mean by this?"

Hearing these words from Gu Fei, Hun Yu, the black-robed old man, and the others all wore expressions of suspicion.

They turned their gazes toward the Bodhi Ancient Tree.

At this moment, viewing the Bodhi Ancient Tree from a close distance, Hun Yu and the others were undoubtedly witnessing another scene that left them feeling shocked.

Its trunk, thousands of feet wide, was like a pillar supporting the sky, connecting heaven and earth.

The trunk of the ancient tree was densely covered with an ancient aura, and the canopy of the Bodhi Ancient Tree was extremely vast, spreading out enough to cover half of a city.

Wisps of extremely dense pure Qi emanated from the Bodhi Ancient Tree, rippling through this sky and causing all sorts of miraculous phenomena to manifest in the sky from time to time.

The sunlight in the sky poured down at this moment, shining upon the ancient tree, and faintly, there was a sense of exquisite translucence.

A powerful vitality, enough to make everyone feel shocked, permeated the area.

"A heavenly treasure like the Bodhi Ancient Tree is enough to rank in the top three of the Dou Qi Continent!"

"If one were to say it has no dangers, that would truly be impossible!"

"Furthermore, if this ancient tree has truly lived for countless years, it should have long since birthed its own intelligence!"

Hesitation appeared in Hun Yu's eyes.

He concluded that Gu Fei must know something and was trying to trap them by doing this.

In his view, if this Bodhi Ancient Tree had birthed intelligence and was cultivating.

It would undoubtedly be one of the most terrifying creatures on the Dou Qi Continent, and the people they had here would likely not even be enough to be a snack for it.

"Heh!"

"Since you don't dare to take these treasures, then they all belong to me..."

Seeing that the people of the Soul Clan did not move, Gu Fei smiled disdainfully.

He then walked straight toward the ancient tree.

"Follow..."

The people of the Soul Clan followed closely behind Gu Fei.

Before long, Hun Yu and the others noticed that at a distance of about a hundred feet up the trunk of the massive Bodhi Ancient Tree, there was a cluster of bright radiance.

This cluster of radiance was like an energy heart about a zhang in size, faintly emitting the sound of a powerful heartbeat.

"Bodhi Heart!" A series of gazes converged on that radiance hidden within the massive tree body.

Everyone's heart pounded fiercely a few times at this moment.

"Quick, charge up, don't let the Bodhi Heart be taken by Gu Fei!"

Seeing this scene, everyone disregarded their previous worries and charged forward.

Just at this moment, the Bodhi Ancient Tree, which had been standing quietly on this grassland, suddenly emitted a faint rustling sound.

Immediately, everyone saw dense branches intertwining and drooping down from the canopy.

And when these branches touched the ground, they slowly split open, and five figures stepped out slowly with expressionless faces.

However, these five figures had no vitality within their bodies; they were clearly Puppets.

"Just five Half-Saints!"

"Such an obstruction is simply vulnerable to a blow for this Saint!"

The Soul Clan Dou Sheng was full of disdain.

With a casual strike, he shattered all five Half-Saint Puppets.

However, even so, as they drew closer to the Bodhi Ancient Tree, everyone's heart became extremely tense.

They did not know if this Bodhi Ancient Tree had any other means, and it was precisely this unknown that made them feel worried.

Gu Fei's pace never slowed by even half a step, and he arrived straight at the base of the trunk.

"Chi!"

Just at this moment, a brilliant radiance suddenly erupted from the tree body a hundred feet up, enveloping everyone within it.

Immediately after, the beam of light shrank rapidly, and with a *whoosh*, it flashed back into the tree body like lightning.

Gu Fei, including the people from the Soul Clan and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, all disappeared from where they were.

A vast, blinding white light filled his vision; Gu Fei's figure stood within this world of white light, with no one else around.

Just at this moment, the world around him began to change rapidly.

Very quickly, he discovered a woman dressed in bridal attire standing before him.

"Xun Er?"

Looking at the familiar face of the woman in red before him, Gu Fei could not help but frown.

The Xun Er before him had the exact same makeup as when the two of them were married.

"Brother Gu Fei, we have already bowed to heaven and earth just now; let us... consummate our marriage..."

"Brother Gu Fei, isn't this a day you have been looking forward to for a long time?"

Xun Er slowly removed all of her clothing.

That beautiful skin, like mutton-fat jade, combined with her ethereal and peerless face, was indeed enough to make most men's hearts race.

In the surrounding space, scenes of Gu Fei pursuing Xun Er in the past kept appearing.

These scenes all seemed to be happening right before his eyes, making it impossible to see any flaws.

"Bodhi Ancient Tree, if you think this is my weakness, then you have guessed wrong!"

Gu Fei's gaze was icy.

Even though Xun Er was naked at this moment, with her jade body rubbing against him and performing all sorts of suggestive and alluring actions, he did not have the slightest reaction.

The next moment, a Bodhi Seed appeared in Gu Fei's hand; as the Bodhi Seed appeared, a clear Qi emerged in the surroundings, and those amorous scenes all dissipated in that instant.

This world suddenly twisted violently, and finally, like a shattered mirror, it burst open with a bang.

And when this world burst open, Gu Fei's vision blurred, and he discovered that he was already in a space filled with a verdant green color; in this space, an ancient tree about ten-odd zhang tall stood as if it had existed since the dawn of time.
