Six Star Dou Sheng Golden Core Grandmaster
The illusion created by the Bodhi Ancient Tree stems from its power to Hundred Lifetimes Reincarnation. While its effect is less than one percent, it is still enough to temper the soul.
The restored Bodhi Ancient Tree no longer allows people to get lost within it, nor does it turn those who come to search for the Ancient Tree into puppets.
Instead, if you pass the test within a certain time, you will receive Bodhi Seed as a reward; if you fail the test, the experience of the illusion is still a valuable one.
This is the situation we are in now. Having found the Bodhi Ancient Tree, we naturally have the opportunity to be tested and have been sent into an illusion by the Bodhi Ancient Tree.
Time in the illusion flies by in an instant.
A month later, the space where the Tree Spirit was located, which was filled with the Aura of life, suddenly rippled with some strange fluctuations. On the futon inside the tree, Xiao Ming slowly opened his eyes.
Those dark eyes, for a moment, seemed to contain a kind of world-weariness that saw through everything, a world-weariness that penetrated deep into one's soul and could not be faked.
Standing before the Bodhi Ancient Tree, Xiao Ming looked around at the scenery, initially somewhat bewildered. But when he saw Zi Yan and Qing Lin beside him, a familiar spark of life began to slowly emerge in his eyes, which were filled with the marks of time...
"Qing Lin, Zi Yan, through Hundred Lifetimes Reincarnation..."
A somewhat hoarse voice, even carrying an ancient Aura, gently emanated from within the Bodhi Ancient Tree.
However, after that ancient voice rang out, the sense of vicissitude that filled Xiao Ming's dark eyes gradually subsided until it completely disappeared.
This sense of vicissitude vanished so completely, as if it had retreated entirely into the depths of Xiao Ming's soul, making it impossible for anyone to detect.
"Call..."
As that sense of vicissitude disappeared, Xiao Ming raised his head and exhaled a long breath of emerald green gas. Then, he couldn't help but touch the smooth, black hair of the beauty beside him.
Although from the outside world it seemed that he had only spent a month in the Bodhi Ancient Tree, his soul had undergone a hundred Reincarnation and trials within the Bodhi Ancient Tree.
This Hundred Lifetimes Reincarnation is not just a blessing, but also a test. If one's mind is not firm, one would probably have been lost in that Reincarnation long ago.
If you truly get lost in it, forget about any benefits; you'd be lucky if it didn't have any negative effects.
Fortunately, he made it to the end, and his strength naturally broke through from the Five Star Dou Sheng Peak to the Early Six Star Dou Sheng.
Of course, the breakthrough in the Dou Qi Realm was not Xiao Ming's biggest gain this time.
His greatest achievement was the improvement in his alchemy skills.
Having undergone Hundred Lifetimes Reincarnation of trials, Xiao Ming could confidently say that he was now the number one Alchemist on the Dou Qi Continent. Given enough materials, Xiao Ming could even refine Grade Nine Golden Pill with a high success rate. Even if the Yao Clan Leader came, he wouldn't be afraid.
With this, Xiao Ming has achieved his initial goal for his trip to the Desolate Ancient Region.
Of course, Xiao Ming reaped a great harvest this time, and Zi Yan and Qing Lin, who Reincarnation with him, also did well, both breaking through a minor level.
In addition, there are various hidden benefits such as combat experience and mastery of Dou Skill.
Not long after Xiao Ming regained consciousness, the two women also woke up. When they saw Xiao Ming looking at them, they both hugged his arms tightly. However, Zi Yan muttered something.
"You Xiao Ming, even in Reincarnation you still won't marry me!"
Xiao Ming smiled silently. Who could blame him when Zi Yan in the Reincarnation looked like a twelve or thirteen-year-old child? No matter how good their relationship was, he simply couldn't bring himself to harm her.
Before the three could say anything, the verdant tree trunk rippled, and Xiao Ming and the others were sent out by the Bodhi Ancient Tree. In a dizzying moment, they were inside the tree one moment and outside the tree the next.
Thank you, senior.
Releasing the two women, Xiao Ming turned his head, his gaze fixed on the Bodhi Ancient Tree behind him, and cupped his hands in a smile.
We are naturally grateful to the Bodhi Ancient Tree for all the good things we have gained this time.
The ancient, verdant Ancient Tree swayed, their leaves rustling as if responding to Xiao Ming's thanks with laughter.
As the branches swayed, one after another, countless clusters of light floated out from the Ancient Tree, filling the entire sky.
"Um?"
Xiao Ming looked closely and exclaimed in surprise. Within these orbs of light, various illusions were unfolding, and among the main characters were several people that Xiao Ming was quite familiar with.
Gu Xun'er, Gu Qing Yang, and some powerful figures dressed in Heavenly Court Attire were present. However, most of the people in the ball of light were individuals Xiao Ming couldn't name. Nevertheless, based on their attacks and the Dou Skill they used, he could still make a general assessment of the situation.
Besides the Heavenly Court and the Ancient Clan, there are also the Soul Clan, the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan... all of whom have come to search for the Bodhi Ancient Tree.
"The Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan Origin Energy, yet they still dare to join in this kind of fun. Aren't they afraid that the next Clan Leader will also die young?"
Zi Yan looked at the people of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan with disdain and laughed. She had always looked down on these scraggly birds of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, especially after the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan interfered in the internal affairs of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, which made her even more disgusted with the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan.
"The Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan has undergone a major upheaval, and the clan needs experts. The Bodhi Ancient Tree has the Bodhi Heart, which can quickly lead to sainthood, so of course they can't let it go," Xiao Ming said with a light laugh.
After saying that, Xiao Ming pointed at the orbs of light and smiled at the Bodhi Ancient Tree, "Senior, please release these people..."
The Bodhi Ancient Tree had a good impression of Xiao Ming, and since it wasn't very bright, it was quite obedient. Its branches swayed again, and strange fluctuations spread out. Suddenly, the space here tore open with rifts, and from within, disheveled figures were spat out.
Suddenly appearing in this strange space, everyone's expression changed, and many people's faces still showed a hint of horror, clearly realizing that everything they had experienced before was an illusion.
"What a terrifying Bodhi Ancient Tree..."
Even those with strong wills, like Gu Xun'er and Hun Yu, couldn't remain calm at this moment. Recalling the illusion from before, they couldn't help but feel a cold sweat breaking out. They felt that if it weren't for this sudden change, they might have stayed in the illusion for the rest of their lives.
As everyone gradually came to their senses, they slowly suppressed their shock and began to examine this strange space brimming with vitality.
It would have been better if they hadn't looked; once they did, everyone's mood went through another dramatic ups and downs.
They saw Xiao Ming looking at them with a smile!
"Alliance Leader!"
Upon seeing Xiao Ming, the people from Heavenly Court were naturally excited and immediately felt their backs straighten.
"Xiao Ming! What's he doing here?!"
The faces of Hun Feng, Hun Yu, and the others were ashen, as if their parents had died.
Although Xiao Ming was much younger than them, his Dou Qi Realm was far superior to theirs. Everyone in Central Plains knew that Xiao Ming, the Heavenly Court Alliance Leader, had a grudge against the Soul Clan. Now that they had encountered him, how could they possibly fare well?
The more Hun Feng thought about it, the uglier their expressions became.
