Entering the Vast Desolate Ancient Region
"I know!"
Seeing Ling Miao's hesitant expression and Ji Li and the others' "Are you alright?" looks on his face, Xiao Lin nodded seriously.
After a brief pause, Xiao Lin continued, "I not only know the legend of the Bodhi Ancient Tree, but I also know that it truly once killed Dou Emperor!"
The secret revealed by Xiao Lin caused Ji Li and Ling Miao to widen their eyes in astonishment.
Of course, Xiao Lin also knew about this from the Original Work plot.
However, the reality is not as exaggerated as Xiao Lin described.
In the Original Work, it was only the Bodhi Ancient Tree and another Dou Emperor who joined forces to kill a wounded Dou Emperor powerhouse.
In a one-on-one fight, even the Bodhi Ancient Tree at its peak could only contend with Dou Emperor, but could not kill him.
You must understand, Dou Emperor expert is not so easy to kill.
Take, for example, the Hun Tiandi after he became Dou Emperor in the Original Work.
Xiao Yan was able to seal the Hun Tiandi only after mastering all the Heavenly Flames and at the cost of destroying his physical body.
As for the Bodhi Ancient Tree, Xiao Lin knew about it according to the Original Work story.
The resentment left behind by the injured Dou Emperor after they joined forces to kill him still torments the Bodhi Ancient Tree.
Even so, the Bodhi Ancient Tree is already quite remarkable.
After all, the difference between those below the Dou Emperor and those between Dou Emperor is like two different dimensions!
This demonstrates just how powerful the Bodhi Ancient Tree was at its peak.
Xiao Lin dared to make a move against it and even revealed its battle record, which is why Ji Li and Ling Miao looked at him with expressions as if he were a "madman."
"Old Xiao, since you know how terrifying the Bodhi Ancient Tree is, why are you still so desperate?"
After catching her breath, Ji Li was now speechless.
He felt that his friend seemed to be getting a little too arrogant!
Although the others didn't speak, their eyes conveyed roughly the same meaning.
Isn't this like knowingly walking into a tiger's den?
Xiao Lin rolled his eyes at Ji Li and then said to himself, "If it were Bodhi Ancient Tree at its peak, I naturally wouldn't dare to make a move on it, but now..."
Furthermore, what I mean by "taking a liking to it" is not to uproot it and plant it within the Realm of Formations of our Myriad Formation Spirit Palace.
I just have some questions that I need to ask the Bodhi Ancient Tree to understand.
Don't forget, it's not only one of the oldest things on the Dou Qi Continent, but it also has another name: the Wisdom Reincarnation Tree!
It knows far more than all of us combined!
At this moment, Xiao Lin's eyes shone brightly.
His search for the Bodhi Ancient Tree involves more than just one thing!
After listening to Xiao Lin's explanation, Ji Li, Ling Miao, and the others exchanged glances and remained silent for a long time.
As for Xiao Lin, he wasn't in a hurry.
He didn't want his friends to worry about him.
Besides, he's going to the Vast Desolate Ancient Region, not to compete with others for Bodhi Seeds and Bodhi Hearts. Going earlier or later makes no difference.
Ji Li: "... Old Xiao, do you really have to go?"
I don't know how much time passed, but Ji Li asked the question that everyone else wanted to ask.
Clearly, deep down, Ji Li and the others did not want Xiao Lin to take this risk.
"Ah, we absolutely have to go!"
Xiao Lin answered firmly.
This scene is somewhat similar to when Xiao Lin went to raid the old site of the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace.
However, even Xiao Lin wasn't entirely confident that time.
But this time, thankfully, Xiao Lin didn't feel any pressure.
Because he knew that the ancient Bodhi Ancient Tree no longer possessed the power to preserve him!
Otherwise, he wouldn't have made all these things clear to Ji Li.
Seeing that Xiao Lin had made up his mind, Ji Li and the others naturally stopped trying to persuade him.
They knew their Palace Master's temperament; once he made a decision, he wouldn't change it!
"Ugh, I really regret becoming friends with someone as reckless as you. You always leave so easily, while I'm left behind to clean up your messes!"
In the end, all Ji Li could do was vent her frustration.
"Haha, the capable should do more!"
Xiao Lin showed no embarrassment whatsoever.
Being a hands-off boss is so great!
"Come back alive, or don't expect me to collect your corpse if you're dead!"
Don't worry, I won't give you that chance!
After their conversation ended, Xiao Lin gave some instructions to the others and then left the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace.
However, Xiao Lin did not go directly to the Vast Desolate Ancient Region. Instead, he sent Xiao Xiao back to the Starfall Pavilion first.
When Xiao Yan Medusa, Nalan Yanran left earlier, they entrusted Xiao Xiao to the care of her grandfather, Xiao Lin.
But now Xiao Lin is leaving too, although it's safe to leave Xiao Xiao in the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace.
But after thinking about it, Xiao Lin decided it would be more appropriate to send the little one to live with her grandparents.
Well, anyway, Xiao Zhan and Yang Xiyue are still staying at the Starfall Pavilion in Central Plains, so they would be happy to take care of Xiao Xiao.
And so, Xiao Lin returned Xiao Xiao to Xiao Zhan and Yang Xiyue, the couple from the Starfall Pavilion.
Of course, Xiao Lin also took the opportunity to inform the couple, as well as Yao Lao and the others, about the situation of Xiao Yan, Medusa, and Nalan Yanran.
As for the fact that Xiao Yan, Medusa, and Nalan Yanran went to explore the Vast Desolate Ancient Region with the people of the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace, Yao Lao was not surprised.
After all, the appearance of the Bodhi Ancient Tree caused such a great celestial phenomenon that there were very few people in the entire Central Plains who didn't know about it.
Given Xiao Yan's personality, how could he possibly not give it a shot?
Therefore, after learning a little about the situation of Xiao Yan and the other two from Xiao Lin, Yao Lao and the others did not ask any further questions.
As for Xiao Lin, after sending Xiao Xiao back to the Starfall Pavilion, he didn't linger and immediately headed to the Vast Desolate Ancient Region.
The Vast Desolate Ancient Region is located outside the northeastern part of the Central Plains.
This is also a place rarely visited by people.
This is the oldest place on the Dou Qi Continent, a forbidden area for all humans. Not only is the weather extremely harsh, but it is also shrouded in poisonous miasma year-round, and is home to countless ancient ferocious beasts whose strength is terrifying.
Even a powerful expert who has reached the Nine-Transformation Peak Dou Venerable cannot be said to be absolutely safe after entering this place.
Normally, no one comes here unless there's a specific reason.
However, with the appearance of the Bodhi Ancient Tree in the Vast Desolate Ancient Region, this place has become full of people.
It just goes to show how tempting money can be!
The allure of achieving Saint Realm surpasses even the fear of death!
This time, a large group of people from Ulala entered the Vast Desolate Ancient Region. It is likely that only a few will be able to reach the Bodhi Ancient Tree. A considerable number of them will probably be buried here.
Meanwhile, after concealing his presence, Xiao Lin also entered the Vast Desolate Ancient Region...
