"Bodhi Ancient Tree!"
The words of the Treasure Mountain Old Man were like a bomb, instantly causing an uproar in the entire hall. Some powerful figures couldn't help but stand up abruptly, unable to contain their shock.
If we were to rank the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures on the Dou Qi Continent, the Bodhi Ancient Tree would definitely be among the top three!
The Bodhi Ancient Tree, also known as the Wisdom Reincarnation Tree in some ancient texts, is said to grow one ring every thousand years, maturing only when it has a hundred rings. Such an immense age is enough for time to erode anything, but the Bodhi Ancient Tree exists outside of time; it can almost be considered one of the oldest species on the continent...
It is said that the Bodhi Ancient Tree appears once every thousand years, and each appearance will bring an extremely huge sensation to the continent. In the long history, there are even many powerful people at the Dou Sheng level who have perished in the struggle for the Bodhi Ancient Tree!
According to some ancient records, there seems to be only one Bodhi Ancient Tree growing in this world. It possesses its own wisdom, and each time it appears, it hides deep in the earth's core, making it impossible for anyone to find. However, it will only reappear in the world when the next time comes.
The Bodhi Ancient Tree, instantly becoming sacred!
This is not an empty statement. Within the Bodhi Ancient Tree lies the Bodhi Heart. Those who obtain it will transform their minds into Bodhi and attain sainthood with just a wave of their hand!
This is not a rumor, because there have truly been powerful individuals who possessed such a great opportunity.
It is said that thousands of years ago on the Dou Qi Continent, there was a Dou Sheng Expert named Bodhi Seed. Originally, Bodhi Seed was not particularly talented, but after consuming Bodhi Heart, his cultivation level rose at an astonishing speed in less than five years, breaking through all obstacles to advancement and finally reaching the Dou Sheng level, which shocked the continent!
This almost godlike effect is enough to drive everyone crazy. Whoever can obtain this Bodhi Heart will have a direct pass to advance to the Dou Sheng and reach the pinnacle of this world!
Moreover, even excluding Bodhi Heart, even a slightly inferior Bodhi Seed can greatly increase the success rate of advancing to Dou Sheng. Although it is not as terrifying as Bodhi Heart, it still has an irresistible allure for some Peak Dou Zun. After all, breaking through to Half-Saint is extremely difficult and dangerous. Some Peak Dou Zun experts may not be able to achieve it even if they try their whole lives. At such times, a Bodhi Seed is enough to drive them crazy.
In summary, the Bodhi Ancient Tree's attraction to those top experts has reached an almost insane level. One can imagine the uproar it would cause in the Central Plains if this news were to spread.
In the center of the main hall, the Treasure Mountain Old Man smiled as he saw the crowd who were all stunned by his news. Even he was extremely tempted by the Bodhi Ancient Tree. If it weren't for the fact that the place where it was born was too dangerous, he would have almost been unable to resist leading people there to search for the treasure himself.
"Bodhi Ancient Tree is about to emerge!"
Upon hearing this, everyone except Huo Xuan, who was already familiar with the plot, was shocked. Although Huo Xuan already knew that the Bodhi Ancient Tree was about to be born, he pretended to be shocked in order to avoid them noticing anything unusual.
"The Bodhi Ancient Tree, instantly attaining sainthood! I never imagined the Bodhi Ancient Tree would reappear so soon!"
Huo Zhi said with some surprise.
"If this news is true, and someone attains the Bodhi Heart, then our clan will produce another Dou Sheng Expert in a short time!"
Yan Liao stared intently at the Treasure Mountain Old Man in the center of the main hall. In his eyes, the Treasure Mountain Old Man was like the Bodhi Ancient Tree!
After a while, Yan Liao withdrew his gaze and looked at Huo Xuan beside him, gently shaking his head. Although he coveted the Bodhi Heart, given the current situation within the clan, if he were to actually obtain the Bodhi Heart, the clan would certainly not give it to him.
Currently, Huo Xuan's cultivation level is already at the Nine Star Dou Zun Peak. Looking at the entire Flame Clan, there is a high probability that the Bodhi Heart will be used by him.
"It is said that when the Bodhi Ancient Tree appeared last time, our clan sent many powerful individuals to compete for the Bodhi Heart, but not only did they fail to find Bodhi Heart, very few even returned alive..." Huo Yun sighed softly, "I wonder if we can successfully obtain the Bodhi Heart this time..."
"Treasure Mountain Old Man, do you know where the Bodhi Ancient Tree originated?"
The shock in the hall lasted for a while before someone finally asked the question.
As the man asked his question, all eyes in the room once again focused on the Treasure Mountain Old Man. Judging from his expression, it seemed that if the old man refused to speak, someone would be tempted to make a move on the spot. Under the temptation of the Bodhi Ancient Tree and faced with an opportunity to become a saint, their reason was quite fragile.
"Hehe, everyone, rest assured. Now that I've said it, I naturally won't hold back." Treasure Mountain Old Man understood what these guys were thinking, so he naturally wouldn't joke about this matter. He then smiled and said, "Everyone is familiar with the location where the Bodhi Ancient Tree was born. It is the Wild Ancient Region located on the northeastern border of Central Plains."
"The Wild Ancient Region?"
Upon hearing this, exclamations of surprise immediately rang out in the hall, and those powerful figures who had abruptly sat up earlier also sat down with hesitant expressions.
"It's actually in such a dangerous place..."
The assembled crowd frowned slightly. They had naturally heard of the Wild Ancient Region; it was arguably the oldest place on the Dou Qi Continent, and also a forbidden zone for all humanity. The weather there was harsh, poisonous miasma pervasive, and teeming with ferocious beasts. Most of these beasts had been passed down directly from ancient times, and some were in no way inferior to any other race in the current Beast Realm except for the most mysterious Void Ancient Dragon...
They are bloodthirsty and ferocious. Although they are not very intelligent, their strength is extremely terrifying. Even Peak Dou Zun expert who goes in cannot be sure that he will come out alive. This is a fact provided by countless bloody lessons over the years. Many experts have tried to enter them to search for treasures, but in the end, they all disappeared without a trace. Among them were some top experts who were famous in Central Plains.
As more and more powerful individuals disappeared in the Wild Ancient Region, its fearsome reputation grew, until eventually almost no one dared to set foot there anymore. In addition, due to its remote location, this once perilous place has faded from the memories of many.
However, no one expected that the Bodhi Ancient Tree would appear in this Wild Ancient Region!
No wonder the Treasure Mountain Old Man would release this information. Treasure Appraisal Mountain and the other two major sects, entering the Wild Ancient Region would be suicidal. They wanted to attract more people so they could fish in troubled waters...
Everyone present was well aware of the dangers of the Wild Ancient Region, and upon reflection, they understood why Treasure Mountain Old Man would be so generous as to share such information.
"Hehe, every time the Bodhi Ancient Tree appears, it will cause extraordinary phenomena in the heavens and earth. Within this month, everyone should gradually feel it, and then you will know that what I said is true." The Treasure Mountain Old Man said with a smile, "The information has been given to everyone, and this Space Trading Fair has also been successfully concluded. Thank you all for your support again."
The atmosphere in the main hall was quiet for a while, and people gradually got up and left the hall.
Huo Xuan has already reached the Nine Star Dou Zun Peak. The Bodhi Ancient Tree is an excellent opportunity. If he can obtain the Bodhi Heart, advancing to Dou Sheng will be a piece of cake.
In that case, we would have a chance of winning against the Gu Clan in the future, especially against Gu Xun'er from the original story, whose strength always kept pace with Xiao Yan's.
According to the original novel, three years later, Gu Xun'er will be able to become a Dou Sheng. Huo Xuan can only rely on Bodhi Heart to raise his cultivation to Dou Sheng so that he will not be defeated and thus be eliminated.
"Let's go too. The Bodhi Ancient Tree is indeed a rare treasure. If the information is true, we should also venture into that Wild Ancient Region."
