Chapter Summaries

Xiao Ze defeated Hun Shan and Demon Phoenix, then joined Xun'er and the others in wiping out the remaining Soul Clan and Heavenly Demon Phoenix Tribe fighters. Xiao Yan warned his group to keep the battle secret to avoid retaliation.

• Hun Shan tried to kill Xiao Ze by self-destructing, but Xiao Ze trapped him in a Thunder World and used Origin Tree Roots and golden flames to burn away his Dou Qi and kill him.
• Xiao Ze returned to the other battlefield and used his spiritual attack, Calamity Poison Power, Origin Emperor Flame, and a punch to kill Demon Phoenix.
• Xiao Ze told Xun'er and the other two to show no mercy, and they helped eliminate the remaining Soul Clan and Heavenly Demon Phoenix Tribe members.
• Xiao Yan told his group to keep the battle secret, warning that he would show no mercy if news of it spread.

Xiao Ze led the allied factions toward the Bodhi Ancient Tree after the Soul Clan and Heavenly Demon Phoenix Tribe withdrew, but the tree suddenly enveloped his group and drew them into a world of white light. Xiao Ze confirmed that the Tree of Origin shielded his soul from the tree’s influence and noticed a strange halo ahead.

• Xiao Yan brought the alliance members to Xiao Ze and explained that his group alone had broken through the Beast Tide, while others had turned back or been scattered.
• Xiao Ze introduced the Ancient Clan members to the alliance and invited those confident enough to approach the Bodhi Ancient Tree, warning that only Dou Zun-level experts or stronger should seek a Bodhi Heart.
• Xiao Ze led the group toward the tree, where dazzling light stripped away their Dou Qi and pulled them inside.
• The people who stayed behind feared for Xiao Ze and the others, realizing they could not escape the Beast Tide if the group failed to return.
• Xiao Ze appeared in a white-light world, confirmed that the Tree of Origin protected his soul from the Bodhi Ancient Tree’s influence, and saw a peculiar halo urging him to enter.

Xiao Ze entered the Bodhi Ancient Tree’s illusion, hoping to experience the power of a Dou Emperor and awaken his Ancient Wisdom talent. He found himself wielding strength near the Peak Nine-Star Dou Saint realm, devastated the Ancient Desolate Region in the illusion, and then prepared to meet the Bodhi Ancient Tree.

• Xiao Ze decided to seek Enlightenment Under the Bodhi Tree after confirming that the Tree of Origin and Void Space could protect him from its influence.
• Xiao Ze entered the ring of light and let the Bodhi Ancient Tree’s strange energy carry him into an illusion while guarding his consciousness with the Tree of Origin.
• Xiao Ze discovered that the illusion gave him power far beyond his actual Three-Star Dou Saint cultivation, though it fell short of the Dou Emperor realm.
• Xiao Ze summoned a massive tidal giant hand that shattered the Ancient Region Platform and devastated the Ancient Desolate Region, killing millions of Ferocious Beasts in the illusion.
• Xiao Ze reflected that the destruction was only an illusion as the Tree of Origin began to take control of his body again, and he prepared to meet the Bodhi Ancient Tree.

Xiao Ze escaped the Bodhi Ancient Tree’s illusion and learned that a fallen Dou Emperor’s negative emotions had corrupted the tree. After the tree released his companions, it left Xiao Ze behind, apparently asking him to help.

• Xiao Ze dispelled the Bodhi Ancient Tree’s influence and woke in a realm containing a smaller, emerald Bodhi Ancient Tree.
• The Bodhi Ancient Tree showed Xiao Ze visions of its ancient battle with a black-clad Dou Emperor, whose body was destroyed after another Dou Emperor intervened.
• Xiao Ze learned that the fallen Dou Emperor’s negative emotions had corrupted the Bodhi Ancient Tree and caused it to trap later visitors in illusions.
• Xiao Ze learned that the Bodhi Ancient Tree had sought his help because it sensed the Origin Emperor Flame as an existence on its own level.
• Xiao Ze refused to be forced into helping and demanded that the tree release his companions, so the Bodhi Ancient Tree sent them out and kept Xiao Ze behind.

Xiao Ze purified the Bodhi Ancient Tree by refining Bodhi Seeds into pure qi, while Xun'er and the others waited outside after escaping its illusion. After the tree was cleansed of the Dou Emperor’s negative emotions, Xiao Ze received a hundredfold feedback reward for enhancing his Ancient Wisdom talent.

• Xiao Ze confirmed that Xun'er and the others were safe, then learned that refined Bodhi Seeds could help cleanse the Bodhi Ancient Tree.
• The Bodhi Ancient Tree gave Xiao Ze Bodhi Seeds, and he refined them into pure qi that weakened the tree’s chilly aura.
• Xun'er, Xiao Yi Xian, Azure Scales, and Xiao Yan escaped the illusion and waited anxiously for Xiao Ze.
• The Bodhi Ancient Tree provided Xiao Ze with more seeds and pure energy as he rested and continued refining batches of seeds.
• Xiao Ze purified the last of the Dou Emperor’s negative emotions, and the Bodhi Ancient Tree regained its emerald radiance and tranquility.
• Xiao Ze received a hundredfold feedback reward that enhanced his Ancient Wisdom talent.

Xiao Ze claimed the Bodhi Ancient Tree’s hundredfold feedback just before entering Hundred Lifetimes Reincarnation, and the two powers merged as he experienced many lives. After more than a month, he awakened with deeper wisdom and wondered whether future illusions could further enhance his “Ancient Wisdom” talent.

• Xiao Ze claimed the Bodhi Ancient Tree’s hundredfold feedback before falling asleep, and the tree drew him into its trunk as the reward merged with Hundred Lifetimes Reincarnation.
• Xiao Ze experienced countless nested lives, including those of an ordinary person, a soldier, and a healer.
• Xun'er reassured Xiao Yan and the others that Xiao Ze might be undergoing Hundred Lifetimes Reincarnation, and they waited without disturbing him.
• More than a month later, Xiao Ze’s aura fluctuated and he awakened with a profound, ancient gaze that unsettled the others.
• Xiao Ze recognized that the reincarnations had greatly improved his “Ancient Wisdom” talent and considered whether experiencing illusions could produce similar gains.

Xiao Ze left the Bodhi Ancient Tree with Bodhi Seeds, shared them among the allied factions, and returned toward the alliance with his companions. On the journey, he tested his newfound comprehension and considered using it to advance his pill-making.

• Xiao Ze emerged safely from the Bodhi Ancient Tree, and it gave him Bodhi Seeds that gathered around him before sinking into the earth.
