The Sacred Mountain and Planting the Bodhi Ancient Tree

"Cousin..."

The familiar voice made Xiao Chen's heart jolt. He turned sharply.

"Xiao... Brother Xiao Xuan?" Xiao Chen froze, then trembled with excitement.

"It's me." Xiao Xuan was just as overwhelmed. He could hardly keep calm.

"You..." Xiao Chen's gaze snapped to Xiao Meng. Xiao Xuan's escape from the Heavenly Tomb had to be his doing.

"Well... I'll leave you two ancestors to talk. I'm going to look around." Xiao Meng spread his hands and flew off. He knew they had plenty of questions, but there were things he could not tell them. Better to leave them alone and find a suitable place to plant the Bodhi Ancient Tree.

Ding! Travel twenty li due north.

The system's sudden instruction made Xiao Meng pause mid-flight. He changed course at once and asked, System, what's twenty li from here?

Ding! A Sacred Mountain is sealed beneath the ground there. You can release it and plant the Bodhi Ancient Tree on it.

"A mountain underground? The Sacred Mountain?" Xiao Meng asked in astonishment. "What's special about it? And how did it end up buried?"

Ding! This mountain has an extraordinary origin. A mighty being gathered Sacred Stone and refined it into this mountain. That same being once uprooted the world's first Bodhi Ancient Tree and planted it here.

"What?" Xiao Meng was stunned. Then he asked, "Was that mighty being from the Dou Qi Continent? Otherwise, how did the Sacred Mountain get here? And why was it sealed?"

Ding! The Sacred Mountain fell here by accident. As for the seal, the Spirit of the Sacred Mountain placed it on itself before falling asleep.

"The Spirit of the Sacred Mountain?" Surprised, Xiao Meng asked, "Will I be in trouble if I break its seal?"

``` Ding!
