Bodhi Heart Again
The location where Xiao Ming and his group were situated was quite a distance from the place they sensed. Even for High-tier Dou Zun, it would normally take at least five or six days to travel there.
However, the speed of Dou Sheng is extremely terrifying. Even though Xiao Ming and his two companions did not travel at full speed, they were close to that location in half a day.
During their journey, Xiao Ming and his companions encountered other forces. Xiao Ming had wasted a lot of time refining pills, so he wasn't surprised that this situation occurred.
Xiao Ming had only heard of most of these forces; they were all forces that kept a low profile.
These sects usually keep a low profile, but their foundation is not weak. Just like the Cloud Rain Sect, which has three Peak Dou Zun experts, one of whom is even a top expert who has one foot in the Half-Saint realm. The sect is just an ordinary thing.
This demonstrates just how attractive the Bodhi Ancient Tree is.
However, although these forces were not weak, none of them discovered the presence of Xiao Ming and his group.
Of course, Xiao Ming also spotted the Heavenly Court's team, which was quite large, but Xiao Ming didn't specifically go to join them.
As long as the Heavenly Court's forces don't run amok, they shouldn't suffer too many losses, although individual casualties are hard to avoid.
After all, he didn't come here to be a nanny; he wanted to seek opportunities, and he also needed to take risks.
The Ancient Domain Platform is said to have been an Ancient Battlefield in the Ancient Times past, where many extremely powerful individuals perished. This is why a strange and oppressive aura permeates the area, making it the only place in the Desolate Ancient Region where even Ferocious Beast dare not set foot.
In addition, this Ancient Domain Platform is located at the junction of the central and deep parts of the Desolate Ancient Region. From here, one can directly enter the Ancient Domain Depths. Therefore, it has been chosen by many forces as the safest foothold in the Desolate Ancient Region.
When Xiao Ming and his companions were within ten miles of the Ancient Domain Platform, they could vaguely see a huge plaza and the endless depths of mist.
The plaza that suddenly appeared in this desolate place was filled with a dense crowd of people, whose strength was at least that of Dou Zun.
"Why are there so many people here? What do we do next?"
In mid-air, Zi Yan frowned when she saw so many people gathered together.
"There are indeed many people, but ignore them. This isn't our final destination; we'll just pass them."
Xiao Ming replied verbally, but inwardly he was somewhat puzzled.
"This shouldn't be the case. I sensed the Aura of Ancient Race, and even Gu Xun'er's Aura. Why don't I sense the Aura of these Ancient Race 'Dou Sheng Expert?"
Don't be fooled by the fact that Gu Xun'er only had one Dou Emperor guard while she was with the Xiao Family, seemingly without any prestige. In reality, the Ancient Clan place great importance on Divine Grade Bloodline. For a dangerous undertaking like forcibly venturing into the Desolate Ancient Region, they would definitely have Dou Sheng as a bodyguard.
Moreover, quite a few of the younger generation from the Ancient Clan have come this time. If a few are lost carelessly, even Ancient Race would feel the pinch.
The same principle applies to other Ancient Race.
Therefore, this scene does not conform to common sense.
"Could it be that the person they sent is far more skilled than me?"
As soon as this idea came to mind, Xiao Ming rejected it. Even for a race that was known for its long-distance travel, sending out a one or two -Dou Sheng as a bodyguard was already the limit; Five Star Dou Sheng was no ordinary commodity.
Not knowing the reason, Xiao Ming didn't waste his time. He was there to find the Bodhi Ancient Tree, not to solve a mystery.
Let's go...
After speaking, Xiao Ming flew directly over the Ancient Domain Platform and headed towards the Lush Green Mountain Peaks. The mountains were only a hundred miles apart, and beyond them lay an endless Black Plains.
On that endless plain, dark clouds filled the sky, and on the ground, countless enormous Ferocious Beast filled the eye, densely packed like a blood-red ocean, stretching to the horizon, their violent roars and howls echoing like Thunder, resounding endlessly throughout the land...
Looking into the distance, a massive, densely packed Ferocious Beast Tide stretched to the horizon, their roars echoing continuously, their bloody aura soaring into the sky.
Even Xiao Ming, Dou Sheng who had seen many grand scenes, couldn't help but take a second look, because the scene was truly spectacular.
If these Ferocious Beasts were more intelligent, none of the thousands of Dou Zun on the Ancient Domain Platform would have survived, including those from Ancient Race.
However, for Xiao Ming and his two companions, it was still the same old story: not worth mentioning.
The three charged into the horde of Ferocious Beast could not stop Xiao Ming group for even a moment, and they moved through the Ferocious Beast Tide at an extremely fast speed.
The violent stream of Dou Qi surged forth, tearing apart Ferocious Beast wherever it went, blasting them into blooming blood flowers.
If someone were to look down from the sky, they would see that although there were many Ferocious Beasts, none of Ferocious Beast could stop them, allowing the Ferocious Beast Tide to be quickly cleared.
Soon, as if they had pierced through a fog, everything before them became clear, and there was no longer a single Ferocious Beast on the open ground.
Looking into the distance, one could see, several thousand feet away, an Ancient Tree with an enormous canopy, standing alone on this vast plain. A Clear Qi wafted above the Ancient Tree, sometimes changing into various shapes, appearing mysterious and unpredictable.
"Is this the legendary Bodhi Ancient Tree? It's so huge..."
Zi Yan's tone was full of excitement. Her treasure-hunting instincts told her that the trees in front of her far surpassed any treasure she had ever seen before, even the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit paled in comparison!
"I wonder if it can be eaten like the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit..."
Qing Lin also curiously examined this legendary item. Even though it was far away from the Bodhi Ancient Tree, it could still feel the immense size of the Bodhi Ancient Tree. Its shade spread out all over the sky, like an Ancient Times sacred object standing between heaven and earth, exuding antiquity and vicissitudes.
However, upon hearing Zi Yan's words, Qing Lin immediately withdrew her curious gaze and couldn't help but retort:
"Sister Zi Yan, we probably can't eat this Bodhi Ancient Tree, right?"
"Moreover, the Aura of the Bodhi Ancient Tree is pure, peaceful, and all-encompassing. However, upon arriving here, the speed of Dou Qi circulation is even faster than usual. Even if it were edible, consuming it would be a tremendous waste."
Zi Yan also realized that what she said was a bit outrageous. She blinked her big eyes and said, "I was just saying. This Bodhi Ancient Tree isn't so easy to get your hands on."
"It's not just difficult; if it's unhappy and wants to attack us, the three of us probably wouldn't even be enough for one of its dishes."
Xiao Ming twitched the corner of her mouth. She could tell that Zi Yan still had her own thoughts, so she quickly spoke up to dispel them.
If Zi Yan's strength were at the Late Nine-Star, then there would still be a possibility of realizing her idea. The Dragon Phoenix Body is indeed terrifying enough, and experts of the same level would have little competitiveness against Zi Yan. However, Zi Yan is only at the Six-Star now, so let's forget about it.
