Chapter 229: Enlightenment Beneath the Bodhi Tree, A Hundred Lifetimes of Reincarnation!

In the time that followed, Gu Fei began to sit cross-legged on that Bodhi seat, cultivating with a calm mind.

Meanwhile, the branches extended by the Bodhi Ancient Tree tightly wrapped around Gu Fei's body.

Subsequently, the Bodhi Ancient Tree shook its branches, and a strange ripple spread outward.

The space here suddenly tore open, revealing one spatial rift after another, and from within them, one disheveled figure after another was spat out.

These people were none other than Hun Yu and the others who had entered the ancient tree with Gu Fei earlier.

Because the negative emotions of the Dou Di within the Bodhi Ancient Tree's body had already been cleared away.

Therefore, being kind by nature, it naturally would no longer take the initiative to harm anyone.

"What is the situation?"

"Where is this place?"

"I clearly had just become... how could I appear in this place?"

At this moment, everyone's expressions changed, and on many of their faces, a hint of horror still faintly lingered; clearly, they all understood that everything they had experienced before was an illusion.

"What a terrifying Bodhi Ancient Tree!"

The Dou Sheng expert from the Soul Clan who had come this time was also unable to maintain his composure at this moment.

If not for this turn of events, he would likely have spent his entire life in that illusion, eventually becoming a walking corpse.

Living just like those five Half-Saint Puppets that had appeared beneath the Bodhi Ancient Tree earlier.

Hun Yu's expression was also unsightly; previously, in the illusion space, he had already sat in the position of the Soul Clan Chief.

Now that he knew all of this was merely a false image, he inevitably felt a sense of loss in his heart.

"Bodhi Ancient Tree?"

"And also, Gu Fei?"

After adjusting his mindset, Hun Yu carefully observed the surroundings in this space.

Suddenly, he exclaimed in surprise.

He had discovered the small ancient tree standing in the space, its entire body resembling emerald jade.

Moreover, within the ancient tree, there was a figure sitting cross-legged, as if isolated from everything.

Seeing this scene, the expressions of Hun Yu and the others immediately began to shift.

According to some ancient records, there are three treasures within the Bodhi Ancient Tree: the first is the Bodhi Heart, the second is the Bodhi Seed, and the third is enlightenment beneath the Bodhi Tree.

The first two are not difficult to explain, as they are both things inherent to the Bodhi Ancient Tree itself.

But this third one is, relatively speaking, more ethereal.

The Bodhi Ancient Tree is also known as the Wisdom Reincarnation Tree; legend has it that it possesses the strange, miraculous effect of allowing one to experience a hundred lifetimes of reincarnation cultivation.

And those who have experienced such reincarnation training possess the potential to step into the Dou Di realm.

Although this is merely a legend.

Yet, there are still countless experts who go mad for this kind of ethereal legend.

"Enlightenment beneath the Bodhi Tree, he actually obtained this legendary great opportunity..."

Exclamations of wonder rang out.

These people, including the few from the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, had naturally all heard of the Three Treasures of the Bodhi Tree.

"Damn it, how could it be, how could he be allowed to seize the initiative?"

Hun Yu's expression was gloomy; at this moment, he could not help but feel a belly full of jealous fire rising.

Such a heaven-sent benefit had actually been given to the pride of the Ancient Clan, the mortal enemy of the Soul Clan.

"Elder, what should we do?"

Hun Yu gloomily asked the Soul Clan Elder beside him, who possessed the strength of a Three-Star Dou Sheng.

"We cannot obtain this opportunity, and we cannot let our clan's greatest enemy obtain it either!"

The Soul Clan Elder's expression was equally cold.

Gu Fei was a pride of the Ancient Clan and might become even more powerful after this. The Soul Clan Elder let out a cold snort, and then, from his palm, he released a mass of black mist.

The black mist quickly transformed into several black chains, which fiercely lashed out toward Gu Fei, who was sitting cross-legged within the tree's body.

Clearly, he wanted to forcibly startle Gu Fei out of that state.

"Boom!"

The fierce attack from the Soul Clan Dou Sheng landed on the Bodhi Ancient Tree, emitting a faint, muffled sound. Before the smug smile could even appear on his face, he suddenly felt an extremely terrifying force surge out from the point of impact, overwhelming everything.

"Pfft!"

Under such a terrifying rebound of force, a look of horror immediately surged into the Soul Clan Elder's eyes. Before he could retreat, the black chains shattered inch by inch.

Following that, a terrifying force surged wantonly into the Soul Clan Dou Sheng's body along the chains, and all his Dou Qi defenses were destroyed in an instant, like dry wood being snapped.

Immediately, his body flew backward like a kite with a broken string.

A mouthful of fresh blood was also spat out, drawing a blood-colored arc in mid-air.

Seeing the Soul Clan Dou Sheng, who had been completely defeated in almost an instant.

Everyone present was stunned.

They had not expected the Bodhi Ancient Tree to possess such immense power, even directly immunizing itself against the attacks of a Dou Sheng expert.

"Damn it!"

The Soul Clan Dou Sheng stood up in a disheveled state.

His eyes were filled with wariness.

Even as a Three-Star Dou Sheng, he felt like a child in front of this Bodhi Ancient Tree.

"It seems that the Bodhi Ancient Tree is protecting Gu Fei!"

"Why is the relationship between Gu Fei and that Bodhi Ancient Tree so good?"

"What exactly happened before?"

Hun Yu was clear that the previous counter-attack force was absolutely unleashed by the Bodhi Ancient Tree.

He already understood that even an Elder at the Three-Star Dou Sheng level could not damage a single branch here.

Even if everyone here were added together, it would be impossible to shake that Bodhi Ancient Tree.

Seeing that they could not stop Gu Fei, who was cultivating inside, the people here gradually quieted down.

As time passed, however, these people gradually became uneasy and agitated.

After all, no one wanted to be trapped in this kind of space for a lifetime; if that were the case, what difference would there be from a prisoner? ……

At the same time, in that Wild Ancient Domain, there were still many factions and rogue cultivators tirelessly rushing toward that Bodhi Ancient Tree.

On the Ancient Region Platform, countless experts of the continent—Dou Zuns—had gathered, their number reaching nearly a thousand; this quantity was quite terrifying.

"Everyone, if you want to charge through the beast tide, you must gather the strength of everyone..."

Someone from a major faction began to speak.

In the original work, it was Hun Yu who organized it.

But this time, the people of the Soul Clan had entered the Bodhi Ancient Tree early, yet others had also thought of this method.

They attracted a large amount of cannon fodder to block the beast tide for them.

Among the crowd, there was a slender figure wearing a black bamboo hat to conceal their face; this person was none other than Xun Er, who had snuck out.

With her speed, it was naturally impossible to keep up with Gu Fei's pace, but after some hardships, she had finally managed to reach the Ancient Region Platform.

Without the protection of Dou Sheng experts, no matter how many of these people there were, they could not compare to the dense swarms of ferocious beasts on that black plain.

For a time, the battle was extremely tragic, and countless human experts were buried in the bellies of the ferocious beasts.

"I will definitely be able to get across..."

Xun Er's cultivation, among this group of people, could be considered top-tier, so she was counted as one of the parties that ultimately benefited, not having been reduced to cannon fodder.
