Chapter 455 - Xiao Yuan plans to ascend to heaven in one step

One of the brothers refined the body of the ancient Bodhi tree, while the other refined the Bodhi seeds. With the feedback from the ancient Bodhi tree, the fighting spirit in their bodies had become several times stronger than when they first started!

It was unknown how long had passed, but when Xiao Yan stretched out his hand again, wanting to take the Bodhi seeds, he grabbed nothing. Only then did he realize that the Bodhi seeds in front of him had already been completely refined by him.

Xiao Yan grabbed nothing and was stunned. He turned his gaze to the ancient Bodhi tree behind him, and just then he saw another wisp of black gas slowly seeping out from the tree, and finally slowly turned into nothingness and disappeared.

The branches spread out and Xiao Yuan walked out from them.

“Buzz!”

As the last trace of black air dissipated, the ancient Bodhi tree, which was as white as emerald green, suddenly emitted a buzzing sound, and then a green light became stronger. Dazzling green rays of light shot out from the tree and finally filled the space, making the already rich vitality here even more intense.

"Has it been completely cleared?"

Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan looked at the ancient Bodhi tree. At this moment, the latter was undoubtedly greener than before, and the faint chill that permeated it was no longer there. The ancient Bodhi tree now gave people a strange feeling of peace, sacredness and wisdom.

“Wow!”

A branch of the ancient tree slowly extended out, and finally, like a human hand, touched Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan's heads. From the branch, the two could feel an emotion called joy.

“It’s good to clear it.”

Xiao Yan smiled and patted the branches of the ancient Bodhi tree. Then, a feeling of exhaustion from the soul suddenly surged up, causing his eyes to droop immediately, and then his head slowly dropped. The consumption of refining the Bodhi seeds during this period was too great for him. Although the consumption of Dou Qi was restored by the ancient Bodhi tree, the exhaustion of the soul could not be eliminated. Now that Xiao Yan relaxed, the soul exhaustion that had been suppressed for a long time suddenly appeared, causing him to fall into a deep sleep.

“Buzz!”

Seeing Xiao Yan hanging his head and falling into a deep sleep, a strange sound was heard from the ancient Bodhi tree, and then a burst of emerald green light burst out, like countless tentacles, pulling Xiao Yan, who was sitting cross-legged on the cushion, towards the tree. At the moment the two touched, ripples appeared on the tree, and Xiao Yan slowly merged into it. Finally, like a sculpture, he sat cross-legged in the center of the tree, motionless.

"Give me some energy. I'm going to break through to Dou Sheng here with you."

Xiao Yuan looked at Xiao Yan being pulled into the ancient Bodhi tree, and smiled at the moment, then reached out and pulled the branches of the ancient Bodhi tree.

Hearing this, the crown of the ancient Bodhi tree shook slightly, and then pulled Xiao Yuan to its side. A branch fell down and quickly grew under Xiao Yuan, turning into a small ancient Bodhi tree, wrapping Xiao Yuan's body inside.

After Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan were each pulled into the body of the ancient Bodhi tree, the ancient Bodhi tree shook its branches again, and strange waves spread out. Then the space here suddenly tore open one after another, and among them, a series of embarrassed figures were spit out. They were the people who entered the ancient Bodhi tree with Xiao Yuan. Xun'er and others were also among them.

Suddenly appearing in this strange space, everyone's expression changed. Many of them had a hint of horror on their faces. It was obvious that they understood that everything they had experienced before was an illusion.

"What a terrible old Bodhi tree"

Even strong people like Xun'er, Gu Qingyang and others could not remain calm at this moment. Recalling the previous illusion, they could not help but break out in cold sweats. If it were not for this sudden change, they would probably stay in the illusion for the rest of their lives.

Everyone gradually came to their senses, slowly suppressed their inner fear, and began to look around this strange space full of vitality.

"Ancient Bodhi tree?"

This piece of space is not large, so all eyes quickly gathered on the ancient tree standing in the space, which was as white as emerald. For a moment, some people couldn't help but utter screams of horror. After the previous illusion, they were already extremely terrified of the ancient Bodhi tree. There was nothing more miserable and sad than dying in an illusion.

"Brother Xiao Yan?"

Xun'er and the others' gazes were also fixed on the ancient Bodhi tree, but then she saw the thin figure inside the tree, and her face changed drastically.

"Xiao Yuan?"

When Xun'er's face changed, Cai Lin, Yun Yun, Xiao Yixian and others also saw Xiao Yuan who was "trapped" in the small ancient Bodhi tree, and their faces changed immediately.

"Xun'er, don't be impulsive! This might be his great opportunity!"

Gu Qingyang stopped Xun'er who was about to rush forward and said in a deep voice.

After hearing Gu Qingyang's words, Xun'er finally came to her senses and carefully recalled the records related to the ancient Bodhi tree. After a moment, she nodded slowly and then explained to her three sisters-in-law.

According to some ancient books, the ancient Bodhi tree has three treasures: the Bodhi mind, the Bodhi seeds, and the enlightenment under the Bodhi tree.

The first two are not difficult to explain, they are both things contained in the ancient Bodhi tree, but the third one is relatively more illusory.

The ancient Bodhi tree is known as the Tree of Wisdom and Reincarnation. According to legend, it has the miraculous effect of allowing people to experience hundreds of reincarnations. Those who have gone through this kind of reincarnation experience have the potential to become a Dou Di.

Although this is just a legend, there are still countless strong people who are crazy about this illusory legend.

Just because, that supreme level also exists in the legend!

In the space filled with vibrant vitality, everyone's eyes were focused on Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan who were sitting cross-legged in the ancient tree. Their eyes were quite fiery. Those who could come here had naturally heard of the Three Treasures of Bodhi. Although the so-called enlightenment under the Bodhi tree seemed illusory and untraceable, the potential it could bring was enough to drive anyone crazy.

"This ancient Bodhi tree seems to have some affection for the two brothers Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan, but I don't know what happened before. Under normal circumstances, the two of them should have fallen into an illusion."

Gu Qingyang analyzed.

"Hmm," Xun'er nodded slightly and said, "It seems that there is no way out from here. I tried before, but I couldn't tear the space crack even a little bit. Now, I'm afraid I can only wait for Brother Xiao Yan and Third Brother to wake up."

Gu Qingyang nodded. He had tried it before. The space here was surprisingly solid. Even if he tried his best, he couldn't cause any spatial fluctuations, let alone tear it apart.

"Now we can only wait, but the life force here is extremely strong, so waiting for some time won't be a problem."

Cai Lin also spoke at this time, saying that it was absolutely impossible for her to abandon Xiao Yuan and leave first.

In the strange space, the concept of time becomes extremely vague, because it is impossible to break through this space. In addition, everyone has some psychological trauma from the real illusion of the ancient Bodhi tree, so no one dares to really go crazy in this space. Although it is a bit stuffy here, it is at least real. When you are in an illusion, you can't even distinguish between reality and falsehood. That feeling is really extremely frightening.

As time passed in this space, everyone gradually entered the state of cultivation. The energy here was full of vitality, which was a very good tonic for everyone. Moreover, this energy could be used to heal wounds and even remove some bruises hidden deep inside the body. Therefore, during this boring waiting time, everyone entered the state of cultivation one after another. After a period of time, they all gained a lot.

And in this boring practice, about a month passed slowly in this space.

During the month, the ancient Bodhi tree was motionless, and Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan, who were sitting cross-legged inside it, were like mosquitoes in amber, motionless. Even their breath disappeared from everyone's perception.

After another seven days of waiting, Xiao Yan's eyes slowly opened inside the ancient Bodhi tree!

As he opened his eyes, this space filled with the breath of life suddenly began to experience some strange fluctuations.

Everyone looked at the pair of dark eyes in the ancient tree. For a moment, everyone seemed to feel a sense of vicissitudes of life. This kind of vicissitudes penetrated deeply into the human soul and could not be faked.

"Brother Xiao Yan."

Xun'er looked at Xiao Yan who had opened his eyes, her beautiful eyes filled with surprise.

"Xiao Yan's gaze is so creepy." Gu Qingyang and the others looked at each other, but they had different feelings. In their perception, when Xiao Yan's eyes were looking at them, they almost had the illusion that even their souls were exposed nakedly in front of him. This feeling made them extremely uncomfortable.

The whole space was silent, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Xiao Yan who was inside the ancient Bodhi tree. They had only seen people who could practice under the Bodhi tree in ancient books, so they had no idea what changes would happen after practicing.

Under the gazes of so many people, Xiao Yan inside the ancient Bodhi tree looked a little dazed. He slowly scanned the crowd, and finally stopped at Xun'er and the others. In those eyes filled with vicissitudes of life, some familiar spirits began to emerge slowly.

"Xunxun'er"

Xiao Yan slowly opened his mouth, and after a moment, a hoarse voice that even exuded an ancient breath came out softly from the ancient Bodhi tree. Everyone who heard his voice couldn't help but change their expression slightly. This tone of voice was completely different from that of Xiao Yan before.

However, when that ancient voice sounded, the vicissitudes of life that permeated Xiao Yan's black eyes gradually restrained until they finally disappeared completely. This vicissitudes of life disappeared extremely purely, as if it had completely retreated into the depths of Xiao Yan's soul, making it impossible for people to detect it anymore.

"call"

As the vicissitudes of life disappeared, Xiao Yan also raised his head and exhaled a long breath of emerald green gas, then stood up from the ancient Bodhi tree, and then, under the gazes of those people, he took a step and slowly stepped out.

When Xiao Yan's body touched the ancient Bodhi tree, waves began to appear on the latter's surface, and his body, like liquid, slowly melted out from the extremely hard ancient Bodhi tree.

"Finally you're back."

Walking out of the ancient Bodhi tree, Xiao Yan stretched lazily in an exaggerated manner and laughed loudly, which made Xun'er and others feel relieved. Fortunately, this was Xiao Yan's previous voice!

"Brother Xiao Yan, are you okay?"

Xun'er walked forward quickly, her beautiful eyes constantly scanning Xiao Yan, and asked with concern.

"fine."

Xiao Yan shook his head and couldn't help but touch Xun'er's soft black hair with his hand. A touch of emotion flashed across his eyes. In the eyes of outsiders, he seemed to have only spent a month in the ancient Bodhi tree, but he knew that his soul had experienced hundreds of reincarnations and trials in the ancient Bodhi tree. If it weren't for his firm mind, he would have been lost in the reincarnation. Fortunately, in the end, he remained steadfast in his original intention and walked all the way, and finally, he returned again.

In this short month, he had experienced too many life-and-death twists and turns, all of which were as thrilling as fighting a true Dou Sheng.

Looking into Xiao Yan's eyes, Xun'er did not dodge. Although she did not know what Xiao Yan had experienced, she could be sure of one thing, that is, the latter's training in the past month was definitely not as easy as they saw on the surface. However, since Xiao Yan did not say it, she naturally would not ask.

"Thank you very much."

Xiao Yan turned his head and looked at the ancient Bodhi tree behind him, bowed and smiled.

“Wow.”

In response to Xiao Yan's thanks, the ancient Bodhi tree, which had been silent for nearly a month, began to shake, making a rustling sound, which made everyone marvel at it. It turned out that this thing really had intelligence, but it seemed that it was too disdainful to respond to them.

"My third brother?"

Then Xiao Yan's gaze turned to Xiao Yuan who was sitting in the small ancient Bodhi tree nearby.

The crown of the ancient Bodhi tree shook, and a wave emanated from it.

"Do you want to continue practicing? It seems that Third Brother is planning to reach the sky in one step this time!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yan muttered to himself thoughtfully.

"Your aura seems a little hard to read. Could it be that you have achieved a breakthrough to the semi-saint level?"

Gu Qingyang came forward and whispered. There was a hint of disbelief in his voice because he found that he could not sense Xiao Yan's aura at all. Even some semi-saints in the tribe had never given him this feeling.

“It’s not that easy.”

Xiao Yan shook his head. He was currently only at the peak of the Ninth Transformation Dou Zun realm. Of course, within just one month of practice, he could accomplish something that others might not be able to achieve in ten years. This speed was already quite astonishing. However, Xiao Yan understood that a short month in the eyes of others, in his perception, was like a hundred years!

It took a hundred years to refine the Dou Qi and condense it repeatedly, allowing the Dou Qi in the body to complete the nine transformations and reach the true peak of Dou Zun.

This speed could not be said to be fast at all, but rather a bit slow. However, Xiao Yan had always been extremely cautious with the power that he obtained out of thin air. Even the energy obtained from this kind of reincarnation training was suppressed repeatedly by him. He did not dare to let his strength increase too much. He had great ambitions in his heart, and did not want to give up his future prospects for a little bit of immediate profit.

Seeing Xiao Yan shaking his head, Gu Qingyang was also stunned, and then he could only smile helplessly. Now, even Xiao Yan could not see through him!

"My brother, I'm afraid he's going for Dou Sheng this time, and it will probably take a long time."

Xiao Yan knew that his three sisters-in-law were concerned about his third brother, so he quickly went up to explain.

"It's okay, we'll just wait here."

Cai Lin waved her hand, indicating that Xiao Yan didn't need to say anything more.

Xiao Yan was speechless after hearing this.

Naturally, he was worried about his three sisters-in-law staying in such a dangerous place. After all, the ancient Bodhi tree would not exist on the earth forever. When the ancient Bodhi tree returned underground, it would be too dangerous for his three sisters-in-law to stay here.

"I'll go back first. I'll come back after I finish my training."

At this time, a soul message flew out from the small ancient Bodhi tree and directly entered the minds of Cai Lin, Xiao Yixiang, and Yun Yun.

Then, the small ancient Bodhi tree trembled slightly, and wrapped in emerald green light, it dived into the ground.

At the same time, a large number of Bodhi seeds flew out from the ancient Bodhi tree and fell into Xiao Yan's hands. (End of this chapter)
