The Bodhi Ancient Tree appeared ahead of time!

After the farce subsided and the final transaction was finally completed, the Old Man Baoshan regained his calm smile and said lightly:

"Ladies and gentlemen, the last item up for auction at this Space Trade Fair is not an object, but a piece of intelligence. This intelligence may soon be known to everyone in Central Plains, but at this moment, it can still be considered first-hand information here!"

Furthermore, we are releasing this information to everyone free of charge, as the highlight of this auction, as a free gift.

Upon hearing this, everyone present looked puzzled. They couldn't understand what kind of information could make Old Man Baoshan value it so much.

Only Xiao Yan and Old Yao exchanged a glance, their eyes gleaming.

They both clearly realized what the intelligence was.

Facing the puzzled and curious gazes of the crowd, the Old Man Baoshan smiled slightly, his aged voice carrying an undisguised excitement as he slowly spoke:

"The news is this: the legendary Bodhi Ancient Tree, said to grant instant enlightenment, is about to reappear after nearly ten thousand years!"

"Bodhi Ancient Tree!?"

The Old Man Baoshan's simple words were like a thunderclap from a clear sky, exploding in everyone's ears. After a moment of deathly silence, the entire hall erupted in chaos.

Some of those with weaker willpower even stood up abruptly, their eyes filled with shock.

If we were to rank the rare and precious treasures of the Dou Qi Continent, this Bodhi Ancient Tree would definitely be among the top three!

In some ancient texts, the Bodhi Ancient Tree is also known as the Wisdom Reincarnation Tree. This tree grows one cycle every thousand years, and it is considered mature when it has a hundred cycles. Such a long period of time is something that even Dou Sheng Expert cannot withstand.

This Bodhi Ancient Tree, however, has transcended the cycle of reincarnation, making it arguably the oldest creature on the Dou Qi Continent.

Even the Nihility Devouring Flame are not as old as the Bodhi Ancient Tree.

Legend has it that the Bodhi Ancient Tree appears only once every thousand years, and each appearance causes a great sensation on the continent. Throughout history, there have even been powerful warriors at the Dou Sheng level who have perished while vying for the opportunity presented by the Bodhi Ancient Tree!

According to some ancient records, there is only one Bodhi Ancient Tree in the entire Dou Qi Continent. It possesses intelligence and will reappear for a period of time each time it appears before disappearing deep into the earth's core, making it impossible for anyone to find its trace. It will only reappear on its own after a thousand years.

For some unknown reason, the Bodhi Ancient Tree has never appeared in the world for the past ten thousand years. Now, the sudden news of Bodhi Ancient Tree reappearance has naturally caused a great stir among many people.

It is important to know that the Bodhi Ancient Tree contains the Bodhi Heart. As long as one can obtain this item and refine it, one will be guaranteed to advance to the level of Dou Sheng.

There was once a person with mediocre talent and strength of only Two-Star Dou Zun, who, after obtaining the Bodhi Heart, broke through all the bottlenecks in less than five years and ascended to the Dou Sheng level like a rocket!

Wild, shaking the universe!

Among those participating in the Space Trade Fair today, there are both Half-Saint level experts and Dou Zun level experts, but none of them do not wish to obtain Bodhi Heart.

Who could resist the chance to become Dou Sheng) in one step?

It's likely that only Yao Chen, the only Dou Sheng Expert present, could remain unconcerned about this.

"Tsk, they don't even have a Heavenly Flames and they still want to get the Bodhi Heart."

Having read the script, Xiao Yan remained calm. He had a premonition that as long as his strength met the requirements, the Bodhi Ancient Tree would most likely sprout on its own.

According to Xiao Yan's initial guess, the Bodhi Ancient Tree was able to join forces with Dou Emperor powerhouse to fight enemies, which means that the Bodhi Ancient Tree has the combat power of Half-Emperor or even Dou Emperor. In addition, this thing has existed for 100,000 years, so it definitely does not lack Source Qi.

Therefore, Xiao Yan still leans towards the idea that it possesses Dou Emperor- level combat power.

However, due to the negative emotions of the Dou Emperor within him, his source energy was greatly depleted, which is why he was unable to unleash his peak combat power.

Furthermore, the Bodhi Ancient Tree transcends time and is not subject to reincarnation, and the Reincarnation Seal bearing the Bodhi Ancient Tree's aura was found on Nalan Yanran...

Xiao Yan had a premonition that this journey to the Bodhi Ancient Tree might resolve some of his questions, and might even help him cross the world barrier and descend upon the Tianxuan Continent!

Relying on his own strength, he would probably only be able to reach the Tianxuan Continent after becoming Dou Emperor.

Crossing the world barrier and traversing the void would likely take a very long time. If he missed the Alien Demon Emperor by then, wouldn't his trip have been in vain?

Therefore, I was quite interested in this trip to the Bodhi Ancient Tree.

Moreover, besides the Bodhi Heart, he also needs quite a few Bodhi Seed. The women, relatives, and friends around him all need Bodhi Pill made from these Bodhi Seed to increase their chances of breaking through to the Half-Saint.

Of course, Xiao Yan had this thought, and so did everyone else. If they couldn't obtain the Bodhi Heart, wouldn't they at least obtain the Bodhi Seed?

This is a golden opportunity to advance to the Half-Saint level; I have to give it my all!

"It really is Bodhi Ancient Tree..."

A glint of light flashed in Old Yao's eyes.

He certainly knew that the Bodhi Ancient Tree was a tailor-made opportunity for Xiao Yan, and its early Bodhi Ancient Tree confirmed some of Xiao Yan's previous guesses.

Although Hua Yu was already Half-Saint, she was still somewhat shocked at this moment.

This legendary, naturally grown spiritual plant has appeared in the world without any warning?

However, seeing that Xiao Yan and Old Yao were both very calm, she suppressed her excitement, but still couldn't help but put her hand into Xiao Yan's warm hand, interlocking her fingers with his, and holding on a little tighter.

Xiao Yan gently squeezed her soft little hand in return, signaling her to calm down.

In the center of the main hall, the Old Man Baoshan saw everyone looking at him with great excitement and felt a little regretful. If it weren't for the extremely dangerous location where the Bodhi Ancient Tree had appeared, he would have wanted to personally lead a group there.

However, he's currently prioritizing stability; if the risks outweigh the rewards, he'll have no choice but to give up.

He has been able to live to this age and become Ninth-Turn Peak Dou Zun expert, and it is precisely because of this cautious way of doing things that he has been able to get to where he is today.

However, he was stunned when he noticed Xiao Yan, who was still quite relaxed, even holding his female companion's hand and putting his arm around her shoulder, talking to her in a leisurely manner.

But he quickly came to terms with it.

Given the other party's powerful background, it's not surprising that they knew about the opportunity to acquire this Bodhi Ancient Tree beforehand.

However, considering Xiao Yan's composure at this moment, and taking into account his strength, Old Man Baoshan felt that Xiao Yan's calmness was quite reasonable.

"Old Man Baoshan, do you know where the Bodhi Ancient Tree was born?"

At this moment, someone in the hall finally snapped out of their shock and asked a question.

Upon hearing this, almost all eyes in the room turned intensely to the Old Man Baoshan, as if he would be attacked by them if he didn't speak up.

Under the allure of the Bodhi Ancient Tree, their reason was as fragile as two paper tigers or a pair of brittle sharks.

"Friends, please rest assured, since I'm going to tell you this, I won't leave you hanging." Old Man Baoshan didn't dare to waste time with jokes at this moment. Although he was quite powerful, he couldn't withstand the onslaught of so many people. He smiled and said, "The location where this Bodhi Ancient Tree appeared is in the Ancient Wasteland Region on the northeastern border of Central Plains!"

"The Ancient Wasteland Region?"

Upon hearing this, the previously heated atmosphere in the hall was immediately filled with gasps of surprise and disbelief, along with many people gasping for breath, making the already hot temperature in the hall even more intense.

Many people plopped down in their chairs, their faces showing disappointment.

Clearly, they knew the dangers of this Ancient Wasteland Region and had given up hope.

"How could it be in such a dangerous place?"

Upon hearing this, Hua Yu couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.

She was naturally quite familiar with the name of the Ancient Wasteland Region. It was arguably the oldest region on the Dou Qi Continent and a Forbidden Ground for humans. The environment there was extremely harsh, filled with poisonous miasma and teeming with ferocious beasts.

Many of these ferocious beasts are even ancient mythical creatures that have been passed down from ancient times. In terms of the strength of their bloodlines, they are not inferior to the Ancient Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan Ancient Void Dragon Clan.

Moreover, due to the corrosive and tempering effects of the harsh environment on their bodies, although their intelligence is not high, they are ferocious and bloodthirsty, and their physical strength is terrifying. Even Peak Dou Zun expert would likely risk perishing if they entered.

Over the years, with more and more powerful individuals disappearing into the Ancient Wasteland Region, almost no one is willing to set foot there anymore.

With the emergence of the Bodhi Ancient Tree, this Ancient Wasteland Region, which has been sparsely populated for many years, is likely to become lively again!

"Otherwise, they wouldn't release this kind of information for free. With the power of Treasure Appraisal Mountain and the other two major sects, entering the Ancient Wasteland Region alone would be suicide. They want to attract more people in so they can fish in troubled waters."

Xiao Yan said with a faint smile, he could tell at a glance what the Old Man Baoshan was up to!

Seeing that everyone had fallen silent, the Old Man Baoshan continued unhurriedly:

"Furthermore, the emergence of the Bodhi Ancient Tree will inevitably cause extraordinary phenomena in the heavens and earth. Within this month, everyone will gradually sense it, and at that time they will naturally be able to confirm that what I said is true."

This concludes the Space Trade Fair. Thank you all for your support.

After saying this, the Old Man Baoshan cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards the crowd.

Xiao Yan, intending to do something mischievous, stood up first, cupped his hands in greeting to the Old Man Baoshan, and left the main hall with Hua Yu and Old Yao.

"After this trip to the Bodhi Ancient Tree, your secrets will likely come out, and the Soul Clan will probably start to take you seriously."

After leaving the Ancient Treasure Pavilion, Old Yao directly transmitted his voice to Xiao Yan via soul transmission.

"I know about this matter, and I don't really care. It's just that I'm really worried about my family, so I plan to make two preparations."

Firstly, I will arrange for strong individuals to protect them, and if necessary, bring them to my Manor in Holy Pill City; secondly, I will gather the other six clans to inflict a heavy blow on the Soul Clan, preventing them from attending to my side.

Xiao Yan said in a deep voice.

"Well, now that you have a plan, I'm relieved. If you need any help from the teacher, just let me know."

The Old Yao laughed.

"I won't stand on ceremony."

Xiao Yan nodded and said with a smile.

"But before that, we need to get our hands on the Ancient Map first."

The Old Yao nodded slightly, then his eyes turned cold as he glanced inadvertently at a figure in a black cloak in the distance.

Xiao Yan, who had already marked the location with his Spatial Strength, let out a sinister laugh:

"Heh heh heh, you dare steal my things? You're asking for death!"

Hehehehe...

Old Yao also let out a sinister smile. Hua Yu, who was originally holding Xiao Yan's arm, couldn't help but get goosebumps when she heard the master and disciple laughing like the Heavenly Venerable of the Soul Hall. She felt extremely disgusted.

That's so sneaky...

After leaving the trade fair area, Xiao Yan and his companions lay in ambush in a nearby forest, waiting for the three Heavenly Scorpion who had already committed suicide to come to them.

"This is the only way they can return to their sect. Given the nature of those three old demons, even if they are carrying valuable treasures, they certainly won't take a detour."

The Old Yao gazed at the entrance to the enormous black hole, whose outline was still faintly visible, and spoke calmly.

"Who are those guys?"

Hua Yu couldn't help but ask at this moment.

"Naturally, it's those three old devils from the Cloud Rain Sect. I remember you used to whip that Human Scorpion like a top."

The Old Yao spoke in a cold voice, his tone carrying a hint of menace.

"So it was those three beasts!"

Hua Yu was clearly very familiar with the Scorpion Demon Three Fiends of the Cloud Rain Sect, and immediately exuded a chilling killing intent.

Back when that Human Scorpion was still Four-Star Dou Zun, he spoke rudely to the Flower Sect. Hua Yu was already Seven-Star Dou Zun, so she went straight up and attacked. If it weren't for the quick arrival of the Heavenly Scorpion and the Earth Scorpion, that Human Scorpion would probably have been a pile of fertilizer by now.

After all, those who frequently commit murder and bury bodies know that flowers planted where people are buried bloom exceptionally beautifully.

However, even when the three old ghosts joined forces, they couldn't gain any advantage over Hua Yu and could only slink away in disgrace.

Hua Yu, unaware that Xiao Yan knew the secrets of the Cloud Rain Sect, took the initiative to continue the conversation and began to explain:

"The Cloud Rain Sect is an out-and-out evil sect. Those three old ghosts will select talented girls, give them cultivation techniques, and make them cultivate hard for more than ten years. Then, using the Cloud Rain Sect's unique method of intercourse, they will absorb the Dou Qi and life force in the girls' bodies to enhance their own strength."

Those women whose Dou Qi was absorbed would die within ten days, their life force exhausted and their bodies aging.

"If the Heavenly Underworld Sect hadn't been constantly holding back our Flower Sect, I would have already led my men to tear those three old ghosts to pieces and rescued those poor girls."

By the end, Hua Yu's tone was filled with murderous intent.

Clearly, although this beautiful aunt is very gentle with Xiao Yan, sometimes even like a young girl experiencing first love, as the leader of a sect, she remains as assertive as ever when dealing with outsiders.
