Battle Through the Heavens: Obtaining the Extraction System at the Start

Xun Er nodded slightly, a trace of caution flashing through her clear eyes. "Brother Xiao Ling is right, but those truly high-level Fierce Beasts are likely hiding deep within the mountains and will not show themselves easily. If we venture in to search for the Bodhi Ancient Tree, we will probably have to face them."

"No matter." A calm smile touched Xiao Ling's lips as he gently covered the back of her hand with his palm. His tone was firm. "With me here, I will keep you safe. Besides, our goal is the Bodhi Ancient Tree. Unless necessary, there is no need to get too entangled with these Fierce Beasts."

A gentle smile rippled through Xun Er's eyes. She softly murmured an "Mm," and the faint worry in her heart over the unknown dangers quietly dissipated beneath his steady words.

Xiao Ling gave it no further thought. Closing his hand, he produced a bead that gleamed with a lustrous jade-green radiance in his palm.

The bead was roughly the size of a thumb, its surface flowing with a faint Bodhi halo. It was precisely the Bodhi Seed that had condensed from the Bodhi Body Saliva back then.

This Bodhi Seed was of exceptional quality. Even the several similar ones he had later collected throughout the Central Plains were far inferior to this one in both appearance and the purity of their Bodhi power.

The Barren Ancient Region was boundless. Trying to find traces of the Bodhi Ancient Tree amid this endless forest sea was no different from searching for a needle in the ocean.

The Bodhi Ancient Tree possessed extremely high intelligence. If it did not wish to reveal itself, even a Dou Emperor would find it difficult to locate it through Soul Power, much less the current Xiao Ling.
