Chapter 456 - The Great Lord came and then left

"Thank you, Brother Bodhi, for the gift!"

Grabbing these Bodhi seeds, Xiao Yan turned his head, bowed to the ancient Bodhi tree, and said something with a smile. Then he flicked his fingers, and the Bodhi seeds in his hand swept over a few trees, floating in front of Xun'er, Gu Qingyang and others in turn.

"Brother Xiao, thank you very much."

Gu Qingyang, Gu Xing and others looked at the Bodhi seeds in front of them with fiery eyes. They grabbed them without any hesitation and clasped their fists towards Xiao Yuan.

"Haha, it's just a small matter"

Xiao Yan waved his hands, kept three for himself, and then gave the rest to Xiao Yixian.

"These all belong to Third Brother. Sister-in-law, take them first. After Third Brother comes out of confinement, we can see how to distribute them."

Xiao Yan didn't have any other thoughts. The Little Medical Fairy had used the Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva before, and she was the only one among the three sisters-in-law who had done extensive research on medicinal herbs. Naturally, letting her preserve those Bodhi seeds was the best choice.

Cai Lin and Yun Yun had no objection to this. They treated each other as sisters and naturally would not care about such a small matter. To them, Xiao Yuan was the most important.

After the distribution, everyone was happy, and the ancient Bodhi tree that had been standing in the space suddenly made a buzzing sound, and then, waves of vibrations were transmitted in this space.

“Is the space going to collapse?”

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yan was startled, and then frowned slightly. The ancient Bodhi tree will not exist in the world forever. When it spews out the Bodhi seeds, it will sink into the ground again to recuperate. After the energy is condensed again, it will break out of the ground again. However, it is unknown when that time will be.

“Buzz buzz buzz!”

The vibrations in space became more and more violent, and finally, a crack emerged from the space, and a dazzling beam of light shot out from the crack.

“Crack, crack, crack!”

After the first crack appeared, more and more space cracks appeared one after another. The originally solid space instantly became riddled with holes and finally exploded.

Deep in the ancient and desolate land.

A huge ancient Bodhi tree stands lonely in the center of the grassland. With it as the center, majestic and clear air continues to spread in all directions, which is extremely spectacular.

Not far from the ancient Bodhi tree, several figures were sitting cross-legged. They were the elders of the Hua Sect and others who were left here that day. As for those who had broken into the beast tide that day, none of them came out.

“Wow!”

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound on the quiet grassland. The ancient Bodhi tree, which had been standing in the center of the grassland almost motionless for a month, suddenly burst into a dazzling emerald green light. Immediately, figures rushed out from the light in a panic and finally fell on the ground around it.

"metropolitan!"

The sudden scene startled all the elders of the Hua Sect, and then they suddenly became ecstatic. They quickly stood up and looked with surprise at the group of figures that appeared not far away.

“Finally it’s out.”

Gu Qingyang and others took deep breaths of the fresh air on the grassland, feeling a sense of pleasure of surviving a calamity. Outsiders could never imagine what kind of dangers they had experienced in just this one month. Even after a long time, they would probably still remember that terrible illusion vividly.

Xiao Yan also let out a sigh of relief. Naturally, his changes were the greatest during this month. In the eyes of outsiders, this month had made him experience a hundred reincarnations and cultivation. Although his strength did not really soar to a terrifying level, it had unknowingly left behind some things that would affect Xiao Yan’s future!

“Buzz!”

When the last person was thrown out, the ancient Bodhi tree began to tremble violently, and then a circle of emerald green light spread out from the bottom of the ancient Bodhi tree. Under the spread of this light, the ground seemed to have turned into liquid, and the ancient Bodhi tree also followed the liquid and slowly entered the ground. Even the small ancient Bodhi tree that wrapped Xiao Yuan followed it into the ground.

Once the ancient Bodhi tree buries itself in the ground, even a Dou Sheng powerhouse will not be able to find it. In other words, if one wants to see it again, they have to wait until the next time the ancient Bodhi tree comes out of the world, but by that time, it may be thousands of years later.

"Alas, what a pity, the Bodhicitta has never been seen."

Looking at the ancient Bodhi tree slowly blending into the ground, Gu Qingyang sighed softly and said with some regret.

On the side, Xiao Yan, who heard his words, smiled slightly, and gently touched the area of ​​his chest where his heart was. There, suspended was a green heart that was as emerald as jade and crystal clear. This was the legendary Bodhicitta, but Xiao Yan had not yet refined it. When he truly refined it, Xiao Yan would be able to truly step into the realm of Dou Sheng!

"Brother Bodhi, thank you very much. I hope we can meet again next time."

Xiao Yan looked at the ancient Bodhi tree that was sinking deeper and deeper into the ground, and murmured in a low voice. He felt a little regretful in his heart. This ancient Bodhi tree had no real intelligence. Otherwise, it would definitely be the true peak powerhouse on the Douqi Continent. If he could interact with it, the help he would get would be huge.

"boom!"

Under the gazes of so many people, the ancient Bodhi tree finally slowly sank into the ground. As the last ray of green light disappeared, the grassland became empty again.

Seeing the ancient Bodhi tree completely disappear, Xiao Yan sighed in his heart. Just as he was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed. He saw that this space suddenly twisted violently, like a prison, locking them tightly inside.

“Hehehe!”

A familiar, cold and strange laugh sounded in this world, and a thick black fog suddenly tore through the space and surged out. In the black fog, an old figure with a skinny body like a skeleton walked slowly out with a gloomy aura!

"If you dare to attack my Soul Clan, you must be prepared to die!"

The black fog surged, and a hunched figure as dry as a skeleton slowly appeared in Xiao Yan's field of vision. He was dressed in a black robe, and his old face looked extremely dry. His eyes were sunken, and two balls of ghostly fire were flickering in his eye sockets, revealing a hint of weirdness.

"The legendary Great Celestial Lord of the Soul Palace, you finally show up."

Xiao Yan looked at the old figure, but smiled slightly and said without any fear.

The old figure slowly raised his head. His withered face looked slightly scary under the light. The ghostly lights in his eyes flickered slightly, and a hoarse and creepy voice rang out quietly:

"You must be Xiao Yan, right? Where is Xiao Yuan? Is he hiding? In that case, I have no choice but to take your life for now!"

"You are worthy of taking my disciple's life?"

The space suddenly exploded, and a handsome white-haired figure appeared in front of Xiao Yan.

"Yao Chen?"

Upon seeing this, the Great Heavenly Venerable’s expression changed.

Because he discovered that Yao Chen's aura was not weaker than his at all!

"Teacher, why are you here?"

Xiao Yan was also stunned by Yao Lao's appearance, and there was some surprise in his voice. He had not yet crushed the space scroll given to him by Yao Lao.

“You guys have been in the Ancient Domain for too long. I was worried, so I found a time to rush here. I didn’t expect to run into you.” Yao Lao floated in front of Xiao Yan, smiled faintly, and then glanced at Xiao Yan. A look of relief suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he said, “In just a few months, your strength has improved again. It’s really beyond my expectation.”

Xun'er and others on the side also breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Yao Lao suddenly appear.

"Hmm? Where's Xiao Yuan?"

Not seeing Xiao Yuan, Yao Lao's face darkened and he asked seriously.

"Third brother is fine. He followed the ancient Bodhi tree into the underground. I'm afraid he will take this opportunity to break through to the Dou Sheng level."

Xiao Yan scratched his head and briefly explained the situation.

"Well, that's good. This kid knows how to find opportunities!"

After hearing this, Yao Lao finally felt relieved and nodded with satisfaction.

"Great Celestial Lord of the Soul Palace? You are considered a very famous senior in Zhongzhou. You come here to attack a junior today. Isn't that a bit too shameless?"

Yao Lao turned his gaze to the Great Heavenly Venerable and said coldly.

"Humph, in the eyes of my Soul Clan, there is no such thing as shamelessness. As long as we can complete the mission, we can use any means. It is too ridiculous for you to say this to me."

The Great Celestial Master sneered with a gloomy expression.

"Haha, I forgot how shameless you guys are." Upon hearing this, Yao Lao also smiled, and then said with a faint smile, "Bullying the younger generation is not a big deal, how about you and I try fighting each other?"

The Great Celestial Venerable's face trembled, he felt an extremely dangerous aura from Yao Lao. Although they were both powerful warriors at the one-star Dou Sheng level, and he had even reached the peak of one star, he still didn't dare to say that he could defeat Yao Lao. It would be difficult to keep those two little bastards from the Xiao clan and those people from the Gu clan today.

"Yao Chen, don't be so arrogant in front of me. The strong men of my Soul Clan are not comparable to those of your Xingyun Pavilion. If I summon another old ghost from my clan, let's see what you can do!"

Although he knew the chances of winning were slim, the Great Celestial Venerable was not willing to give in and sneered.

"You want to outnumber us? My Ancient Clan is not afraid of your Soul Clan!"

However, just as the Great Celestial Venerable had finished speaking, Xun'er clenched her jade hands, and a space scroll emerged, which was then quickly crushed. A space wave spread out, and then a space crack appeared. An old figure slowly stepped out of the space crack under the unsightly expression of the Great Celestial Venerable.

"Haha, this scroll is finally useful!"

Along with the appearance of the old figure, a familiar faint laugh was also heard.

"Elder Tongxuan?"

Seeing this figure, Xiao Yan was slightly startled. This old man was none other than the Elder Tongxuan whom he had met in the ancient world.

“Haha, Xiao Yan, we meet again.” Elder Tong Xuan smiled at Xiao Yan, and then glanced at the latter with a look of surprise in his eyes. After a long moment, he turned to Yao Lao and said with a smile, “This must be the Medicine Venerable who was famous in Zhongzhou back then? Haha, it seems more appropriate to call him Medicine Saint now.”

In response to Elder Tongxuan's laughter, Yao Lao also bowed, smiled, and said a few polite words.

"Elder Tongxuan."

When Gu Qingyang, who was standing by, saw Elder Tongxuan, he immediately told him what had happened here with exaggeration.

It doesn't matter what the truth of the matter is.

Standing on the side of Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan is what is important!

Who would refuse to be friends with a ninth-grade alchemist?

"The Soul Clan is becoming more and more arrogant now."

After hearing what Gu Qingyang said, Elder Tongxuan frowned slightly, and then stared at the Great Tianzun with a slightly unfriendly look.

Being stared at by two powerful men, Elder Tongxuan and Elder Yao, the expression of the Great Heavenly Venerable became a little unnatural. If he could rely on the power of the Soul Clan to face the Xingyun Pavilion without fear, but facing the Ancient Clan, he had to be a little wary. This equally ancient ancient race was also extremely powerful.

Even though Elder Tongxuan was only a high-level semi-saint, he had many space scrolls on him that could summon truly powerful members of the ancient clan. If things got out of hand, it would be troublesome.

“Tongxuan, you don’t have to speak so arrogantly. When we meet next time, even if you are from the Ancient Clan, you will have to prostrate yourself at the feet of my Soul Clan!”

The Great Celestial Venerable looked at Elder Tongxuan with a grim gaze and said in a cold voice.

Elder Tongxuan smiled faintly at this and did not take it to heart. He also heard the retreat in the words of the Great Venerable, but did not push it any further. He also understood that they could not really leave the Great Venerable and others behind. The dying counterattack of the Fighting Saint was also quite terrifying. Moreover, they must have space scrolls on them to summon strong men from other clans. If they fell into a stalemate at that time, the strong men of the two clans would be forced to come forward, and in the end they would not be able to fight.

"Also, a reminder to Xiao Yan and Yao Chen. There is no one that my Soul Clan wants that we cannot get. Xingyun Pavilion is destined to be completely trampled into ruins by my Soul Palace! Cherish this last moment of enjoyment."

The Great Celestial Venerable turned his grim gaze towards Xiao Yan and Yao Lao, and said in a cold voice.

"You don't need to worry about this. My Xingyun Pavilion is a tough nut to crack. If your Soul Palace really wants to take a tack, we will make you break a few teeth."

Yao Lao smiled faintly and said that they and the Soul Palace had long been in a situation of life and death, and any soft words would be useless. In this case, why should they give face to the Soul Palace?

What's more, with Xiao Xuan's soul now in charge of the star realm, even a five-star Douluo cannot break through the meteorite formation of the Falling Star Pavilion. If the Soul Clan really comes out in full force, the Ancient Clan will surely notice it, and then the Soul Clan will be the ones to suffer.

"I hope you can still say this when my Soul Palace troops are at the gates of the city."

The Great Celestial Venerable sneered, and then said no more. He looked at Xiao Yan with a sinister gaze, turned abruptly, and rushed towards the outside of the Manghuang Ancient Domain.

Looking at the figure that disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye, Xiao Yan felt a little regretful and sighed:

"What a pity that we couldn't keep this old ghost here!"

"What are you thinking? I'm not that little guy Xiao Yuan who can secretly block the space and kill the Great Heavenly Venerable. If a fight really breaks out, it won't be a good thing for us. After all, the Soul Palace has the Soul Clan as its foundation."

Hearing this, Yao Lao rolled his eyes at Xiao Yan and said helplessly.

"Brother Yaochen is right. The Soul Clan is strange and unpredictable. They are extremely difficult to deal with. Even our Ancient Clan usually doesn't dare to push them to the edge of desperation. It's a good outcome to scare them away." Elder Tongxuan on the side also agreed with a smile, then glanced at everyone and pondered, "But since the matter of the Bodhi Ancient Tree has come to an end, we should hurry back to the Ancient Realm. It was not easy for those old guys to get Xun'er out this time. If we delay too long, they will inevitably keep urging us."

Hearing this, a hint of reluctance flashed across Xun'er's beautiful eyes, but she also understood that before she reached Dou Sheng, the old guys in the clan would definitely not trust her to stay in the outside world for too long. She looked at Xiao Yan and said softly, "Brother Xiao Yan, be careful. The people of the Soul Clan will never let go of any grudge. This time you have caused them to suffer a great loss, and they will definitely not tolerate this. When they have some time to spare, they will definitely come to deal with Xingyun Pavilion."

"Um."

Xiao Yan nodded slightly. He also understood that although the strength of Xingyun Pavilion was constantly increasing, there was still a big gap between them and super forces like the Soul Clan. If they really wanted to attack with a large army, it would be a real headache.

"It seems that when I return this time, I must immediately go into seclusion to refine my Bodhi mind and advance myself to the semi-saint stage. Otherwise, when the Soul Palace attacks, Xingyun Pavilion will be in danger."

"Haha, don't worry. We, the Ancient Clan, have been paying attention to the actions of the Soul Clan. If they make any big moves, we will be able to receive news. Moreover, with the strength of the Falling Star Pavilion, if they want to destroy it, they will have to send out at least three Dou Sheng masters of two stars or above. The Soul Clan has not mobilized such a lineup for many years, so there is no need to worry too much."

Elder Tongxuan laughed.

"Moreover, if that day really comes, the Ancient Clan will not stand idly by. You have the ancient jade on you, and we will not watch it fall into the hands of the Soul Clan."

"Then I'll have to trouble Elder Tongxuan." Xiao Yan said with a slight smile.

“Haha, it’s nothing.” Elder Tongxuan waved his hand and said, “It’s getting late. We have to set off. See you next time!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Elder Tongxuan bowed to Yao Lao, and without waiting for everyone to say anything, he waved his sleeves and a force of space spread out, enveloping Xun'er and the others, and quickly disappeared into the sky.

Looking at the disappearing figures of Xun'er and others, Xiao Yan also sighed with disappointment, then looked towards the periphery of the Wilderness Ancient Domain and said softly:

"Let's go, it's time for us to go back. I hope Third Brother can come out of retreat soon. If the Soul Clan really attacks us, I'm afraid only Third Brother's fighting power can make them return in defeat!"

Hearing this, everyone's eyes turned to the place where the ancient Bodhi tree disappeared, and the atmosphere was inevitably a little heavy.

"Yao Chen, come to Hua Zong when you have time."

Elder Qinghua suddenly broke the dull atmosphere.

"Uh, okay."

Yao Lao and Elder Qinghua were old acquaintances, so he naturally understood what Elder Qinghua meant and nodded with an unnatural smile.

Xiao Yan watched from the side, raising his eyebrows.
