Dou Di Resentment
In Xiao Ming's vision, the ancient Bodhi Ancient Tree, entirely verdant, suddenly trembled slightly, and two orbs of light floated out from its body.
Finally, the ball of light hovered in front of Xiao Ming, shifting and revealing images within. Xiao Ming glanced at them and saw that the people in the images were Qing Lin and Zi Yan. Clearly, Qing Lin Zi Yan were also trapped in the illusion.
"Please release my two companions, senior. I am willing to make a fair trade with you. If you have any requests, I will not refuse!" Upon seeing this, Xiao Ming cupped his hands in a fist salute.
In response to Xiao Ming's request, the Bodhi Ancient Tree shook again, and another ball of light appeared. Within the ball of light stood a Bodhi Ancient Tree that was ten thousand feet tall.
Instead, before the Ancient Tree, a figure dressed in black stood in mid-air, an Aura as Heaven and Earth Supreme slowly emanating from his body.
Under this Aura, even the colossal Bodhi Ancient Tree, towering ten thousand feet tall, appeared rather small.
"This is... Dou Di!"
Xiao Ming's eyes flashed with shock as he stared intently at the black-clad figure's back. Although it was just an image, the Aura from him made his very soul tremble.
In this world, besides Dou Di powerhouse, who else could possess such a feeling!
Even the strongest person Xiao Ming had ever seen, his future Father-in-law Zhu Kun, did not possess such imposing power.
It's no wonder they're so desperate to break through to the Dou Di level; it's a qualitative change. If a Dou Di were allowed to run rampant, it wouldn't take long for them to slaughter the entire Dou Qi Continent.
In Ancient Times, Dou Di powerhouses were not as rare as they are now. Back then, the Origin Qi of heaven and earth was abundant, and as long as one reached the Peak Nine Star Dou Sheng, one could attempt to break through to Dou Di.
Leaving aside the Ancient Times, even in the era when Zhu Kun lived, there were quite a few Ancient Race. At that time, the Soul Clan was just a small race. This shows how many Dou Di there were, and Dou Di could continue to improve.
Not all Dou Di) are all friendly and amicable. How has the Dou Qi Continent, with its current size, withstood the impact of so many battles?
Xiao Ming felt that the current Dou Qi Continent was not the complete Dou Qi Continent. It was just that the truth of the matter had long been buried in the long river of history, and now even the existence of Origin Qi was known to very few people.
This is a tragedy for the once-prosperous Dou Qi Continent.
Xiao Ming continued to look at the ball of light, and saw that the Black-clothed Dou Di was standing in the air in front of the enormous Bodhi Ancient Tree. Suddenly, the Dou Di began to attack the Bodhi Ancient Tree.
Faced with his attack, the Bodhi Ancient Tree also emitted terrifying, overwhelming energy. In this terrifying clash, even the world around it gradually collapsed.
Xiao Ming was not surprised. The strange gray aura that Qing Lin had sensed earlier was left behind by this Black-clothed Dou Di, who wanted to seize the spirit of the Ancient Tree but was ultimately killed here.
Within the ball of light, the images played at an accelerated pace, finally pausing on the last scene: the Black-clothed Dou Di was slammed into by Destructive Strong Wind that suddenly swept in from an unknown place.
Finally, the Black-clothed Dou Di's body, along with the surrounding world, exploded into nothingness.
With the combined efforts of the Bodhi Ancient Tree and another mysterious Dou Di, this Black-clothed Dou Di was ultimately shattered into nothingness.
"Two Dou Di! That era was the Golden Age of cultivation! Now, if it weren't for the legacy left by the Tou She Ancient God, once all the Ancient Imperial Clan disappear, the number of Dou Sheng on the Dou Qi Continent would also drastically decrease. At that time, it wouldn't be wrong to call it the end of the Era of Dharma Decline."
Within the ball of light, the images did not cease with the fall of the Black-clothed Dou Di. Suddenly, wisps of black energy surged forth from the void.
As soon as these air currents appeared, they rushed into the Bodhi Ancient Tree. With the entry of these air currents, the Clear Qi that permeated the Bodhi Ancient Tree was subtly tinged with a hidden chill.
After the Bodhi Ancient Tree finished showing Xiao Ming the video, the light slowly dimmed.
"Puff!"
It immediately condensed into an invisible mass, which rushed into Xiao Ming's mind like lightning, and finally transformed into a strange Information Stream that spread out.
Xiao Ming closed his eyes, digesting this strange Information Stream. After a long while, he slowly opened his eyes, his gaze now filled with a deeper understanding, much like what he already knew.
The Bodhi Ancient Tree before us has existed for countless years, but one thing is certain: it has existed since Ancient Times.
However, this Bodhi Ancient Tree did not develop complete intelligence. Perhaps it was because it was inherently too powerful, and the process of it developing intelligence was extremely difficult for Heaven. Even now, it has not developed a complete intelligence.
Perhaps it's because of its long existence that its intelligence is not fully developed. Whatever the reason, this Bodhi Ancient Tree lacks true wisdom; it merely possesses some basic functions of a spiritual being, such as autonomous protection or retaliation...
The image in the previous ball of light was from a distant era when a heavily injured Dou Di expert tried to forcibly extract the Tree Spirit of the Bodhi Ancient Tree to heal his injuries.
However, he was ultimately killed by his opponent and the Bodhi Ancient Tree working together. Of course, in killing the Black-clothed Dou Di, the Bodhi Ancient Tree clearly took the blame and was haunted by the Black-clothed Dou Di's Grudge.
One can only say that the Bodhi Ancient Tree was quite unlucky.
Do you want me to help you?
Xiao Ming looked at the ancient, verdant Ancient Tree in front of him and asked softly. He knew that the Bodhi Ancient Tree had two Tree Spirit, one inclined towards evil and the other towards good.
In response to Xiao Ming's words, the Ancient Tree swayed as if nodding, then shook as if shaking its head, leaving Xiao Ming completely bewildered.
What does this mean?
"Splash..."
However, the Ancient Tree did not respond. Instead, another ball of light appeared, within which a flame emerged, followed by a Bodhi Seed.
The flames refined the Bodhi Seed, and a Clear Qi appeared, eventually entering the Ancient Tree. As this Clear Qi entered, the chilling aura emanating from the ancient Bodhi Ancient Tree seemed to lessen somewhat.
After the demonstration, green specks of light floated out from its body, eventually hovering in front of Xiao Ming. The light gradually dimmed, revealing its true form.
These light spots were all Bodhi Seed, and judging from their crystal-clear color, they were clearly many times purer than the Bodhi Seed in Xiao Ming's hand.
Xiao Ming glanced at the green dots and breathed a sigh of relief. Although Bodhi Seed were not as terrifying as Bodhi Heart, they could increase the success rate of advancing to the Dou Sheng. If they were outside, let alone these extremely high-quality Bodhi Seed, even just the mottled Bodhi Seed in his hand would attract countless powerful individuals to fight over it.
However, now, more than twenty of those extremely rare Bodhi Seed suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Ming.
Xiao Ming also knew that these Bodhi Seed were just a drop in the ocean compared to the Bodhi Ancient Tree, and who knew how many more were hidden within it.
I wonder when his Small Tree Sapling will bear so many Bodhi Seed, or even Bodhi Heart; it's unlikely to happen in less than ten thousand years.
"Using Bodhi Seed to dispel negative emotions is such a waste of money..."
Xiao Ming shook his head, and just as he was about to make a move, an idea popped into his mind.
"Bodhi Tree share the same origin, so could we ask it to help catalyze the Small Tree Sapling, or simply entice the mature plant away as well?"
