Chapter Summaries

Xiao Yan tried to persuade the Bodhi Ancient Tree to return with him to the Xiao Realm, but it refused and forced a Bodhi Heart and thirty-two Bodhi Seeds into his body. After beating and healing him, the tree made him sit on a meditation cushion and prepare to refine the seeds.

• Xiao Yan offered the Bodhi Ancient Tree protection and a Spirit Gathering Array in the Xiao clan's Ancient Realm, but the tree refused to leave.
• Xiao Yan insisted he wanted the tree rather than its treasures, so the Bodhi Ancient Tree forced a Bodhi Heart and thirty-two Bodhi Seeds into him.
• Xiao Yan refused to help, and the Bodhi Ancient Tree misunderstood his words and whipped him until he agreed to refine the seeds.
• The Bodhi Ancient Tree healed Xiao Yan, pulled him onto an emerald meditation cushion, and poured vast energy into his body.

• Hun Yu moved toward Xun'er and the Ancient Clan, but an ancient voice greeted everyone and stopped him.
