Chapter 231: Worried About Me? You'd Be Lucky Not to Cause Trouble!

The depths of the Wild Ancient Domain.

A massive Bodhi Ancient Tree stood lonely in the center of the grassland.

Majestic, clear Qi centered around it.

It spread continuously in all directions, looking extremely spectacular.

"Where on earth did Brother Gu Fei go?"

"At Brother Gu Fei's speed, he should have arrived here long ago..."

A thousand feet away from the trunk of this massive Bodhi Ancient Tree, Xun Er sat cross-legged.

She had maintained the same posture for over half a month.

Most of those who had broken through the beast tide together with Xun Er were the same.

Because many people who arrived here and saw the Bodhi Heart thought about attacking the Bodhi Ancient Tree to snatch the opportunity, but their attacks were too weak and did not even damage the bark of the Bodhi Ancient Tree.

As time passed, these people grew tired of attacking, so they all stopped and sat cross-legged around the Bodhi Ancient Tree to wait for the treasures to descend.

"Swish, swish!"

On this quiet grassland, a swishing sound suddenly rang out.

"There's movement!"

Seeing this movement, the hundreds of people currently sitting cross-legged outside the Bodhi Ancient Tree all became excited; having waited so long, they all felt that the Bodhi Ancient Tree was finally about to spit out the Bodhi Heart and the Bodhi Seed.

"Brother Gu Fei might have been delayed by something..."

"Oh well, since that is the case, then for this appearance of the Bodhi Ancient Tree, I shall seize the many opportunities for the clan..."

"After I seize the treasures and return, everyone in the clan, and Brother Gu Fei, will surely cast looks of praise upon me..."

Xun Er opened her eyes, now filled with fighting spirit; she was confident that she could stand out among these hundreds of people and seize the treasures.

While Xun Er was lost in thought.

The Bodhi Ancient Tree, which had stood motionless in the center of the grassland for nearly a month, suddenly erupted with blinding emerald light.

Immediately, one figure after another scrambled out from the light in a disheveled state.

"Huh, why is it people?"

Watching this scene, the people around who were eager to try and snatch the treasure were all stunned.

The treasure-spitting phenomenon they had expected did not appear; clearly, someone had beaten them to it.

"Finally, we're out!"

The few survivors of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan took deep breaths of the fresh air on this grassland, feeling a sense of relief at having survived a disaster.

Outsiders could never imagine.

What kind of terrifying dangers they had experienced in this short month.

That kind of horrific illusion.

Even after a long time, they would likely still have deep memories of it.

Gu Fei also let out a soft breath.

In this month or so, his changes were naturally the most significant.

What was a month in the eyes of outsiders had caused him to experience a hundred cycles of reincarnation.

Although the reincarnation cultivation did not truly cause his strength to skyrocket to a terrifying level.

It had, however, left behind some things that would influence the future in an imperceptible way.

"Brother Gu Fei..."

Seeing that Gu Fei had also been spat out by the Bodhi Ancient Tree, Xun Er's pretty face was full of excitement.

Her figure flickered, and she quickly arrived at Gu Fei's side.

"Didn't I tell you not to come?"

Seeing Xun Er appear by his side, Gu Fei frowned almost subconsciously, his tone carrying some blame.

"I, I was worried about you..."

Hearing Gu Fei's blame, Xun Er lowered her head and explained in a low voice, though at this moment, there was a sense of joy in her heart.

Usually, Gu Fei couldn't be bothered to respond to her. Now, he was actually willing to blame her, which was a huge change.

"Worried about me?"

"It would be enough if you didn't come to cause trouble for me!"

Gu Fei said coldly.

He was a Four-Star Dou Sheng; even if something happened, what help could Xun Er, a Dou Zun Peak, possibly be? It was simply a joke!

"Hum, hum!"

When the last person was thrown out, the Bodhi Ancient Tree trembled violently, and then a circle of emerald light spread out from the base of the tree.

Under the spread of this light, the ground seemed to turn into liquid.

And the Bodhi Ancient Tree slowly sank into the ground along with that liquid.

Seeing the Bodhi Ancient Tree about to submerge into the ground.

Many people's expressions changed slightly.

Followed by a heart full of unwillingness.

Once the Bodhi Ancient Tree entered the ground, even a Dou Sheng expert would be unable to find it.

In other words, to see it again, one would have to wait for the next time, ten thousand years later, when the Bodhi Ancient Tree appeared in the world.

Amidst the sighs of the crowd, Gu Fei gently touched his chest over his heart.

There, a green heart, crystal clear and looking entirely like emerald, was suspended.

This was the legendary Bodhi Heart, only, the current Gu Fei had not yet refined it.

"Brother Bodhi, many thanks. I hope that next time, we shall meet again!"

Gu Fei watched the Bodhi Ancient Tree as it sank deeper into the ground, murmuring in a low voice.

He also felt a slight sense of regret in his heart.

This Bodhi Ancient Tree had not formed true sapience; otherwise, it would surely have become a true peak powerhouse on the Dou Qi Continent.

"Boom!"

Under the gaze of the many onlookers, the Bodhi Ancient Tree finally sank slowly into the ground.

With the disappearance of the last wisp of emerald light, this grassland once again became empty.

"They came out of the Bodhi Ancient Tree; those treasures must be on them. Kill them, and the treasures will belong to everyone..."

"Right, everyone attack together!"

With the Bodhi Ancient Tree gone, those powerhouses of the continent who had been waiting bitterly now fixed their gazes on Gu Fei and the people of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, because they had all just been spat out from the Bodhi Ancient Tree.

For a moment, waves of killing intent permeated the air.

"You have such great audacity!"

Seeing this, Xun Er scolded coldly.

"If you want to seize the treasures, just go after him alone. All the Bodhi Seeds, including the legendary Bodhi Heart, were all taken by him!"

Seeing the movements of the surrounding powerhouses, Jiu Feng subconsciously pointed at Gu Fei.

He was worried that Gu Fei would settle scores later, so he wanted to let these people stall Gu Fei's pace to buy time for his Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan members to escape.

After saying this, a spatial fluctuation came from the now-silent grassland.

Everyone looked over, and it turned out that the people of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan were tearing through space.

They wanted to escape through the Void Space.

"Heh, trying to escape right under my nose? You, Jiu Feng, do not have the qualifications!"

Gu Fei glanced over with disdain.

Afterward, he stretched out his palm and lightly clenched it in the direction of Jiu Feng.

The next moment, Jiu Feng's body immediately burst apart as if subjected to immense pressure.

A Dou Zun Peak powerhouse, someone about to step into the Half-Saint realm, was killed just like that, so easily. In an instant, everyone who had originally intended to make a move shrank back.

To snatch treasures from the hands of such a terrifying powerhouse—what difference is that from seeking death? (End of this chapter)
