Only when people viewed the Bodhi Ancient Tree up close did they understand how utterly awe-inspiring it was. Its towering trunk stretched several thousand zhang into the sky like a pillar supporting the heavens. Ancient, strange patterns densely covered its surface, and from afar, they resembled a bizarre Scroll Painting, dreamlike and illusory. The tree's shade blotted out the sky and sun, vast enough to cover most of an entire city. Streams of incomparably dense pure energy spread from within the tree, rippling through the sky and occasionally transforming into all manner of miraculous sights.
"It truly is a marvel of heaven and earth!" Xiao Yan looked up, bathed in the sunlight pouring through gaps in the ancient tree's canopy, and could not help sighing in admiration.
Yet Xiao Yan sensed a faint, indistinct feeling of danger. Its source was the Bodhi Ancient Tree itself.
"A Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure like the Bodhi Ancient Tree could rank among the top three on the Dou Qi Continent. It would be impossible for it to be without danger. And if this ancient tree has truly lived for countless years, it must have developed its own intelligence long ago. Would it really allow people to casually take opportunities from itself..." Xiao Yan silently pondered.
The group hastened onward and, after a quarter of an hour, finally found the teams from the Soul Clan and the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan. At that moment, the latter two had gathered together and stopped advancing.
Xiao Yan frowned slightly, realizing that an obstacle had likely appeared ahead. He turned to the others and said, "There should be a problem up ahead. Everyone, stay alert."
The people ahead gradually noticed Xiao Yan's group arriving as well.
"Hehe, you've finally arrived!" Hun Yu walked forward with a smile
