Another Bodhi Tree, the Western Sect's Shock
The small tree in Bixiao's hand seemed to be crafted from celestial gold and divine stone, dazzling and flawless, radiating Nine-Colored Divine Light, magnificent and extremely beautiful.
Each leaf bears the patterns of the Great Dao, brimming with boundless Daoist wisdom.
"This is..." Randeng was dumbfounded, staring blankly at the small tree in Bixiao's hand. He didn't know what kind of magic weapon it was, but just one glance made him realize that it was extraordinary.
The nine-colored light shimmering on the tree trunk was particularly breathtaking; such a radiance could only be found in those uniquely blessed magical treasures.
The more colors, the cooler it is.
A magical artifact without any radiance cannot be considered a treasure at all, but this small tree has nine colors, so its power is unimaginable.
Randeng felt that this small tree looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
Not only did he think so, but so did all the powerful figures who were paying attention to this place.
They sensed the tree's profound mystery, so profound that they couldn't even fathom its true nature.
"Knock knock knock..."
Just then, a drumbeat shook the world, followed by a chorus of horns.
The earth shook and mountains trembled, as if ten thousand horses were galloping, the sound of a heavenly chariot roaring endlessly. At the edge of the world, a dark mass, carrying a majestic and fierce aura, surged in like a tide.
This fierce aura was interspersed with auspicious golden light, and the chanting of Buddhist hymns was grand and eerie, like the whispers of an evil Ancient God, reciting seductive scriptures.
People from the All-Spirit Sect and the Western Sect have arrived.
Instantly, it attracted everyone's attention; their expressions varied, some joyful, some sorrowful.
The Heavenly Court was naturally pleased, knowing that this large force had come to reinforce them, and that they were all on their side.
The faces of the Human Race, however, turned rather grim.
The combined number of disciples from the two sects is well over a hundred million, especially the disciples of the All-Spirit Sect, which gathers Ten Thousand Races of the Primordial World, making their numbers enormous.
The leaders of the Western Sect were all radiant with Buddhist light, adorned with gold and silver, and sparkling with jewels. As the saying goes, the more you lack something, the more you like to flaunt it.
The West is impoverished, but you can't see it in them at all.
These are the most outstanding disciples of the Two Western Sages, namely Medicine Master, Maitreya, Sunlight, Moonlight, and Mahasthamaprapta.
They were highly skilled in cultivation and arrived on clouds, landing in front of the Heavenly Court Army. After greeting Yaochi and the others, they turned their gaze to the altar.
"Hehe, with Fellow Daoist Randeng Deng's cultivation level... wait, what kind of magic treasure is this?" A Daoist holding Glazed Tower asked in surprise. He was none other than the chief disciple of the Western Sect, Medicine Master.
What he held in his hand was all his possessions: the superior-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Glazed Tower, one of the few Innate Spiritual Treasure that the Two Western Sages obtained in the Purple Heaven Palace.
They stared in astonishment at the precious tree in Bixiao's hand. They hadn't paid much attention to it before, but now that they looked closely, they were speechless with surprise.
"Hmm... I feel like this tree is similar to Master's Seven-Treasure Wonderful Tree. No! It's not just similar, it's practically identical?"
Mahasthamaprapta said with a shocked expression that the teacher he was referring to was none other than Zhun Ti.
"Teacher's Seven-Treasure Wonderful Tree has seven-colored rays of light, but this tree has nine colors. They are different, very different," said Maitreya, who had a large belly, with a smile.
They don't seem to realize the seriousness of the situation.
"Nine colors? Isn't that even more powerful than Master's Seven-Treasure Wonderful Tree?" Moonlight exclaimed in surprise.
"Absolutely impossible. My Martial Uncle's Seven-Treasure Wonderful Tree is made from the Bodhi tree of the Ten Great Spiritual Roots, combined with rare and precious materials. It is the most top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasure."
The Medicine Master shook his head; as a disciple of Jieyin, he naturally addressed Zhun Ti as his senior uncle.
"It's all show and no substance. We'll see," Sunlight said with a smile full of Daoist wisdom.
These words were met with agreement from the Medicine Master, Maitreya, and others. They gazed at the altar, wanting to see what was so special about this nine-colored sapling.
The arrival of the All-Spirit Sect and the Western Sect only caused a brief commotion before everyone's attention was once again focused on the altar.
This minor incident did not affect the battle.
At this moment, Randeng had already made his move. He shook the Coffin Lantern, releasing the ghostly flames of the underworld, which rolled and surged like a long river, transforming into a giant underworld dragon that was about to swallow Bixiao whole.
He didn't care what Bixiao had in her hands; as long as it was a tree, it was fire-resistant and therefore under the jurisdiction of fire.
Bixiao held the precious tree in her hands, standing gracefully in place, unmoved, seemingly with no intention of hiding.
As the Netherworld Dragon opened its mouth to swallow, the Treasure Tree suddenly burst forth with dazzling light, and nine-colored rays formed a substantial ripple that spread outwards.
An invisible force rendered the Netherworld Dragon immobile, and its gaping maw could not be closed.
With a flick of her Bixiao hand, Bixiao unleashed a terrifying power from the precious tree, dispelling all the ghostly flames of the underworld and turning them into black smoke that drifted away into the sky.
Randeng's gaze shifted slightly, then he raised his hand and grabbed, his magical power surging and transforming into a giant, ethereal handprint that slammed towards Bixiao.
In the blink of an eye, as the stars shifted, Bixiao raised her hand and swept it, causing the precious tree to release bursts of Daoist energy, forming an invisible barrier that forcefully froze the incoming giant hand.
Finally, it was completely worn down, losing all its power.
Randeng completely lost his composure and loudly demanded, "What kind of tree is this?"
His face was filled with shock and anger, and a hint of fear lingered in his eyes.
The tree thwarted his attacks twice in a row, and even a fool could sense that something was wrong.
Bixiao raised her snow-white chin and sneered, "This treasure is called the Nine-Treasure Wonderful Tree, and it is refined from the Bodhi Tree."
"The Nine-Treasure Wonderful Tree?" A look of suspicion flashed in Randeng's eyes. "Such a powerful magic weapon, why have I never heard of it?"
"What's the difference between your magic weapon and the Seven-Treasure Wonderful Tree?"
"Yes! Of course there are differences," Bixiao shouted.
"My magic weapon has two more treasures than the Seven-Treasure Wonderful Tree, making it the grandfather of the Seven-Treasure Wonderful Tree."
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked and stared in disbelief at the precious tree in Bixiao's hand.
Nine-Treasure Wonderful Tree?
Grandfather of the Seven-Treasure Wonderful Tree?
What is this thing?
"How is this possible! The Bodhi Tree is Ten Innate Spiritual Roots, the foundation of the West Sage, and there has only been one since the beginning of time. Where did yours come from?"
Randeng roared in fury, unable to accept this fact.
"Utterly foolish! This is naturally a gift from the omnipotent Dao Venerable. Who else in the world besides him can refine the false into the true and transform the illusory into the real?" Bixiao said proudly.
She didn't know where the Bodhi Tree came from; it was a gift from Ling Xiao.
Perhaps it's a male and a female.
This so-called Nine-Treasure Wonderful Tree was created by Ling Xiao using the Bodhi Tree rewarded by the system, along with nine kinds of natural materials.
The Seven-Treasure Wonderful Tree is made by adding seven divine objects to the Bodhi Tree, while the Ling Xiao Tree has two more treasures than the Seven Treasures Tree.
Its power was naturally greatly enhanced, far surpassing that of the Seven-Treasure Wonderful Tree.
The original Seven-Treasure Wonderful Tree was a top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, while the Nine-Treasure Wonderful Tree that Ling Xiao refined was comparable to Innate Supreme Treasure.
Primordial Galaxy.
During the great battle, the Saint Zhunti, on a whim, quickly sensed the aura emanating from the Nine-Treasure Wonderful Tree.
When he saw the precious tree in Bixiao's hand, his expression immediately became incredibly interesting.
