Chapter 494: Experiencing Ten Thousand Calamities
Now the Hun Clan is busy dealing with other ancient clans, so naturally, they have no time to care about Xiao Yan. Now the Stone Clan and the Spirit Clan have been solved by the Hun Clan, and the next step is the Medicine Clan.
Xiao Yan knows the Hun Clan's plan, which is why he dares to kill the Hun Clan's experts so unscrupulously; otherwise, he would definitely be as low-key as possible.
Actually, there is not much time left for Xiao Yan. The next Medicine Clan Medicine Ceremony is when they will really face the Hun Clan, and the opponent is even more so Xu Wu Tun Yan.
With Xiao Yan's current strength, facing Xu Wu Tun Yan is purely looking for death, with no power to fight back, unless Xiao Yan doesn't go to the Medicine Ceremony.
But Xiao Yan must go to the Medicine Ceremony. Although Xiao Yan doesn't care about the life or death of the Medicine Clan, the Medicine Clan also has quite a few Exotic Fires. These Exotic Fires cannot be cheap for Xu Wu Tun Yan, especially the Life Flame.
After clarifying all matters, Xiao Yan began to close his eyes slowly, his mind sinking into his Qi Sea.
Ever since Xiao Yan completely fused the four types of energy in his body, the Qi Sea had been empty. However, at this moment, there was an extra thing in the Qi Sea, and that was the Bodhi Ancient Tree.
After Xiao Yan treated the Bodhi Ancient Tree, out of kindness, he used Yang Fire to help the Bodhi Ancient Tree grow. As a result, the Bodhi Ancient Tree directly relied on Xiao Yan and wouldn't leave after staying in the Qi Sea.
At first, Xiao Yan didn't discover that there was an extra thing in the Qi Sea. It was only when he was cultivating soul power after defeating the Hun Clan people that he accidentally discovered it.
Xiao Yan was also unable to laugh or cry about the Bodhi Ancient Tree moving into his Qi Sea. After all, this thing didn't seem to bring him much benefit.
Of course, the Bodhi Ancient Tree also had some intelligence at this moment. Knowing that it wanted to stay in the Qi Sea, it had to give Xiao Yan benefits, so it gave Xiao Yan a Bodhi Heart and promised Xiao Yan that it could help Xiao Yan enlighten at any time. Bodhi Seeds were also given as many as Xiao Yan wanted.
Although the Bodhi Ancient Tree would absorb quite a bit of Xiao Yan's energy, being able to enlighten under the Bodhi Ancient Tree at any time was also quite good.
To get some things, one must lose some things. Xiao Yan had already seen through it.
As Xiao Yan's mind sank into the Bodhi Ancient Tree, the Bodhi Ancient Tree shook slightly, bringing Xiao Yan into a virtual world.
The greatest function of the Bodhi Ancient Tree is to create a very realistic virtual world, making you sink into it involuntarily, unable to see the truth from the false, tempering you time and time again, making your mind more determined.
Every calamity is equivalent to being reborn once, and the face will also have some vicissitudes. If an acquaintance saw it, they would feel Xiao Yan had become a stranger.
After Xiao Yan experienced the first calamity, he wanted to stop and go find Yun Yun or Xiao Yi Xian and Medusa to talk, to remove this sense of vicissitudes from his body.
But these people were also in close-door cultivation, and Medusa had gone out. Xiao Yan had no way, so in order to break through to Dou Sheng, he had to continue experiencing calamities.
Xiao Yan originally thought that at most experiencing a hundred generations of reincarnation would be enough to break through to Dou Sheng, but reality slapped him in the face. The feeling of breaking through to Dou Sheng was very close, as if it were a thin film; if it broke, it would be fine, but this thin film just wouldn't break.
Facing such a scene, Xiao Yan also became ruthless, determined to break through to Dou Sheng, so he continued to reincarnate and cross calamities.
As it proceeded time and time again, Xiao Yan's face was also covered with a sense of vicissitudes, becoming somewhat indifferent, and even without the slightest emotion, his eyes were full of indifference, as if the destruction of the world couldn't cause any fluctuations.
But no one reminded Xiao Yan of all this. Everyone in the World Alliance knew about Xiao Yan's close-door cultivation in the back mountain, so no one dared to disturb him.
Time passed quickly. In these three years, whether it was Yao Lao, Yun Yun, or Xiao Yi Xian, they had all broken through to Dou Sheng. Only Xiao Yan was still in close-door cultivation, without any signs of breaking through, and there was no movement, and no aura existed, as if Xiao Yan had disappeared. "I... I seem to have a bad feeling, feeling empty in my heart." Xiao Yi Xian looked in the direction of the back mountain, not knowing why she was very sad.
Hearing this, Yun Yun beside her was also shocked and then looked at Xiao Yi Xian suddenly, saying, "You have this feeling too? I thought I was overthinking it!"
Just when Xiao Yi Xian and Yun Yun were feeling sad, a white figure suddenly appeared beside them.
"Xiao Yan!" Yun Yun and Xiao Yi Xian looked at the suddenly appearing white figure, and the surprise on their faces was beyond words.
"Hehe, are you waiting for me here specifically?" Xiao Yan said with a faint smile.
Yun Yun and Xiao Yi Xian looked at each other. Although Xiao Yan's performance was exactly the same as before, they felt it was somewhat strange and then asked somewhat suspiciously, "Are... are you okay?"
"What could be wrong with me! Does it feel strange?" Xiao Yan smiled, a sense of vicissitudes appearing on his face, and then instantly returned to normal.
Xiao Yan enlightened under the Bodhi Ancient Tree, experiencing reincarnation calamities time and time again. Although he lost himself at the beginning, becoming more and more indifferent, and even later not recognizing his own relatives.
But in the calamities time and time again, Xiao Yan felt more and more lonely, his heart was very empty, so he wanted to plunder everything to fill his heart.
However, this didn't make Xiao Yan happy; instead, he became more and more empty, and the whole person became muddled, not knowing what to say. Later, he felt that living had no meaning and felt that death was a relief.
Just when Xiao Yan couldn't withstand the test and wanted to commit suicide, the Bodhi Ancient Tree shook suddenly, letting Xiao Yan return to reality.
Xiao Yan, who returned to reality, also had cold sweat on his forehead. Fortunately, the Bodhi Ancient Tree stopped it actively; otherwise, Xiao Yan would have died directly.
Xiao Yan's recklessness almost killed himself, so he didn't rush to break through to Dou Sheng afterward and began to communicate with the Bodhi Ancient Tree.
How many years the Bodhi Ancient Tree had lived, no one knew—ten thousand years, or hundreds of thousands of years, or even millions of years were possible.
Although the Bodhi Ancient Tree's wisdom was not high, it was knowledgeable. With its help, Xiao Yan naturally grew very rapidly.
The Bodhi Ancient Tree told Xiao Yan that enlightenment is actually about sticking to one's original heart and being a true self; only in this way will one not get lost.
Xiao Yan listened to the Bodhi Ancient Tree's words, experienced calamities again, gradually began to return to himself, and his mind became more determined. Everything became a matter of course.
"Come over and give me a hug!" Xiao Yan beckoned to Yun Yun and Xiao Yi Xian. Although the time in the virtual space was fake, experiencing ten thousand calamities was also nearly a million years.
Seeing Xiao Yan take the initiative to beckon, Yun Yun and Xiao Yi Xian looked at each other and were also somewhat surprised. Why did Xiao Yan suddenly become so direct? However, although it
Xiao Yan held them tightly, one in each arm, as if afraid that they might leave.
