Feng Qingyao's explanation continued.
"Although that evil consciousness had been sealed away, Cang Yuan and Li Que both knew that this still wasn't foolproof. As time passed, those negative emotions would continuously absorb the emotions of the continent's inhabitants, nourishing and strengthening themselves. One day, even Cang Yuan's seal would be unable to restrain the growth of that evil consciousness."
Xiao Jin nodded. The current Bodhi Ancient Tree clearly possessed considerable strength.
It could even control a Nine-Star Dou Sheng.
Moreover, Cang Yuan's seal had not truly cut the evil consciousness off from the world.
Whether it was secretly collecting the corpses of Ancient Heaven Phoenixes and Ancient Void Dragons, or controlling those Dou Sheng experts, all of it had been the evil consciousness's work over the past ten thousand years.
During the ten thousand years it had been sealed, the evil consciousness could be said to have been preparing for this day at every moment.
What gave Xiao Jin the biggest headache was that this evil consciousness was practically indestructible.
It had originally been part of the Bodhi Ancient Tree. Since even the complete entity could not be destroyed by Cang Yuan, this separated portion could likewise not be destroyed. Otherwise, Cang Yuan would have had to be insane to choose sealing it away.
And the evil consciousness could continuously strengthen itself by endlessly absorbing the negative emotions across the continent.
If it were truly given enough Source Qi, it might even break through to the Dou...
Wait, enough Source Qi?
Xiao Jin finally understood why the Bodhi Ancient Tree had agreed to the requests of the Soul Clan and the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan and allied with the two clans.
The Soul Clan and the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan might not know that he possessed Origin Emperor Qi,
