Breakthrough to Dou Sheng
This space is isolated from the world. No matter how hard people try, they cannot tear open even the slightest spatial rift, let alone leave.
Left with no other choice, everyone entered a state of cultivation.
However, the energy here is full of vitality, which is a high-quality tonic for anyone, and everyone has gained something considerable.
But this place is not as good as the clan. No one here is so carefree as to immerse themselves in cultivation. They are on guard every moment, which is even more tiring than fighting an enemy.
Time passed quietly, and after an unknown amount of time, Xiao Yan, who was sitting cross-legged under the Bodhi Tree, finally made a slight movement.
Xiao Yan slowly opened his eyes, and the space filled with the aura of life rippled with strange fluctuations.
The wary crowd noticed the slight fluctuation and looked into Xiao Yan's dark eyes, where a faint glimmer of fire flashed and disappeared.
For a moment, everyone was in a daze, as if their souls were about to be swallowed up by an endless sea of fire, burned to ashes, and turned into nothingness.
"Brother Xiao Yan..." Gu Xun'er called out.
Xiao Yan smiled slightly at Xun'er, then waved his hand. Apart from the Soul Clan, everyone else snapped back to their senses, cold sweat pouring down their faces.
As for the Soul Clan, the light in their eyes completely disappeared, and then their physical bodies slowly dissipated without leaving a trace, telling the others the fate of being trapped in the sea of fire.
Just as they Great Enemy, they were shocked to discover that Xiao Yan had vanished from their perception—only their naked eyes could detect Xiao Yan figure, while their Soul Perception Power was as if it were blind, completely unable to sense Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan had no interest in explaining to them. He simply patted the branches of the Bodhi Ancient Tree and said softly, "I'll come find you again when I break through to the Dou Emperor. I'll take you to see some nice things then."
"Splash splash splash!"
The Bodhi Ancient Tree shook itself with great joy, and countless emerald green light spots flew out and floated in this space.
Looking around, there are a total of twenty-six Bodhi Seed here...
Everyone's breathing became heavier, and they all stared intently at the floating Bodhi Seed, but no one dared to make a move, fearing that they would follow in the footsteps of the Soul Clan.
Xiao Yan reached out and collected all the Bodhi Seed, not giving a single one to anyone else.
Through Hundred Generations of Reincarnation, Xiao Yan created a Ninth-Grade Pill Recipe. The main ingredient required was nine Bodhi Seed, and these twenty-six seeds were enough to refine the pill twice.
As soon as Xiao Yan put away the Bodhi Seed, the space began to tremble, cracks appeared, and then a green light flashed. One by one, the Bodhi Ancient Tree threw everyone out of the space.
When the last person was thrown out, the ancient Bodhi village trembled violently, and then a circle of emerald green light spread out from the roots of the Bodhi Ancient Tree.
Wherever the light reached, the land turned into liquid, and the massive trunk of the Bodhi Ancient Tree seeped directly into this liquid, penetrating to the earth's core to continue accumulating power.
Just as the Bodhi Ancient Tree completely disappeared, Xiao Yan suddenly turned his head and looked at a space in the distance.
A thick white mist suddenly appeared in that space, and then a dark figure staggered through the mist—he didn't even try to get close, but instead ran away.
"Oh..."
Xiao Yan let out a cold laugh, but did not chase after him. He disappeared in a flash.
It left behind a scene of utter astonishment, with jaws agape and eyes wide open.
They could all see it clearly: that disheveled figure was none other than Hun Miesheng!
A genuine Dou Sheng was actually scared away by a single glance from Xiao Yan!
"Brother Xiao Yan, this is really troublesome..." Gu Xun'er muttered helplessly as she sensed the fear of the other Ancient Race, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up.
Through Hundred Generations of Reincarnation, Xiao Yan has gained immense benefits, but he has not broken through to the Dou Sheng. At this moment, his realm is only that of Advanced Half-Saint.
After all, Enlightenment Beneath the Bodhi Tree a hundred years of physical cultivation and a hundred lifetimes of spiritual Reincarnation; the soul is the most crucial element in enlightenment.
During this process, Xiao Yan studied the Flame Mantra and integrated his Soul Origin into the Emperor Flame. He also used his Soul Power to promote the fusion of Heavenly Flames and naturally broke through to the Emperor Realm Soul.
However, this was clearly not entirely due to Xiao Yan's own talent. The most crucial factor was the blessing of the Plane Embryo, which further increased Xiao Yan's affinity for the Heavenly Flames. Otherwise, even a Half-Saint at the Heavenly Realm Great Perfection would never have been able to research Soul Cultivation Method that could Fusion Heavenly Flame even after a thousand Reincarnation.
The Emperor Realm Soul also granted Xiao Yan some Power of Time. If Hun Miesheng hadn't escaped, Xiao Yan's next step would have been to use time to completely destroy its intelligence, and then use Emperor Flame to refine it into Flame Slave.
However, since Hun Miesheng had run away, Xiao Yan simply ignored him and returned to the Heavenly Tomb to begin refining the power of the Bodhi Heart in order to break through to the Dou Sheng.
The Bodhi Heart on the Bodhi Ancient Tree was a ball of light about ten feet in size, but at this moment it has condensed into a fist-sized, emerald green heart.
The beating speed of this emerald green heart was exactly the same as that of Xiao Yan's heart. If it weren't for the Emperor Flame in Xiao Yan's heart, it would have long since merged with the Bodhi Heart, forming a new heart with the Bodhi Heart as its main body.
However, this is not a bad thing. On the contrary, because of the vigorous vitality and huge energy contained in the Bodhi Heart, once completed, it can break through to the Dou Sheng realm, and its recovery ability and lifespan have a considerable advantage compared to the strong in the same realm.
However, Xiao Yan did not want to give up his heart, which had been tempered by the Emperor Flame many times. Therefore, he chose to have it all, that is, to keep his own heart and also the wonder of the Bodhi Heart.
This process will inevitably take longer than directly refining the Bodhi Heart, but since Xiao Yan cultivates in the Heavenly Tomb, a year is equivalent to two months in the outside world, so there is no need to worry too much.
Strands of purple flame seeped into the Bodhi Heart, transforming into a bridge connecting the two beating hearts, and infusing the life force of the Bodhi Heart into Xiao Yan's heart.
The pure energy within was also absorbed and refined by Xiao Yan after being tempered by the Fallen Heart Flame.
The Soul Realm.
Hun Miesheng failed to complete the mission and returned directly here.
But Hun Miesheng felt he could still be saved because he brought back extremely important information: Enlightenment Beneath the Bodhi Tree could truly give a person the potential to break through to the Dou Emperor —those who comprehend it could break through to the Emperor Realm Soul!
If mere comprehension has such miraculous effects, then if one were to devour the essence of the Bodhi Ancient Tree, wouldn't one be able to directly break through to the Dou Emperor?
Moreover, it is impossible to kill Xiao Yan, whose Hun Miesheng is at the Emperor Realm Soul — Xiao Yan's Soul Origin is fused with the Heavenly Flames, and with the Heavenly Flames, Xiao Yan can fight him for a long time even without a physical body.
Xiao Yan's teacher is the Medicine Saint, so reviving him wouldn't be difficult at all. In fact, due to his extremely high Soul Realm, he might even be revived as a High-tier Dou Sheng!
In conclusion, although Hun Miesheng was somewhat apprehensive, he still Soul Realm to report for duty.
Then, the Soul Clan received incorrect intelligence, and Nihility Devouring Flame's injuries recovered considerably...
