"The Bodhi Ancient Tree, said to rank among the top three heavenly treasures on the entire continent? But hadn't that little fellow Xiao Yan only just encountered it in the Wild Ancient Region?"
Xiao Xuan instinctively glanced at Xiao Yan beside him.
"Ancestor Xiao Xuan."
Having long sensed the resonance of the Bodhi Heart at his chest, Xiao Yan immediately flew over.
Xiao Xuan said nothing, merely pointing at the nearly vanished spatial vortex below.
"Ancient Realm. Spirit Gathering Formation. Gather. Spirit."
The ancient voice fluctuated slightly at Xiao Yan's arrival.
"This does seem to be the aura of the Bodhi Ancient Tree. Now that the black qi has been expelled, it can speak directly? And it said Spirit Gathering?!"
Completely bewildered, Xiao Yan instinctively replied.
At that moment, Xiao Yan suddenly realized that he and Xiao Xuan seemed to have made a huge blunder.
The intruder was not an enemy at all, but the Bodhi Ancient Tree that had followed Xiao Yan into the Xiao Realm. It seemed to have figured something out and wanted the Xiao Tribe to set up a Spirit Gathering Array to help it accelerate the evolution of its intelligence, or perhaps restore its strength.
"Ancestor Xiao Xuan, could you let the Bodhi Ancient Tree in first? It doesn't seem to bear any ill will. It is a friend, not an enemy."
Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Xuan with a wry smile.
"Is it really the Bodhi Ancient Tree?"
Xiao Xuan's gaze flickered slightly, and he immediately withdrew all suppression over the silver spatial vortex.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Freed from Xiao Xuan's suppression, the spatial vortex spun faster. The next second, an enormous ancient tree over a dozen zhang tall, emerald green from top to bottom, burrowed into the Xiao Realm through the vortex.
Pop!
