The Weakened Bodhi Ancient Tree

"Call out"

Xiao Lin flew back from the depths of the Void.

"That Bodhi Ancient Tree is truly shameless, resorting to a sneak attack! But speaking of which, now I understand why Gu Yuan and the Hun Tiandi didn't personally dig the Bodhi Ancient Tree back..."

After flying back from an unknown distance in the Void, a look of understanding flashed across Xiao Lin's frustrated face.

He was frustrated because he had barely gotten close when he was attacked by the Bodhi Ancient Tree, without even uttering a single word the entire time!

Clearly, the Bodhi Ancient Tree sensed Xiao Lin's immense strength and perceived him as a threat.

So before Xiao Lin could even get close, they launched an attack first.

After all, the Bodhi Ancient Tree isn't stupid; it's known as the Wisdom Reincarnation Tree!

In addition, they have lived for countless years.

Their IQ is definitely higher than, if not lower than, that of an adult!

Given Xiao Lin's strength, the Bodhi Ancient Tree didn't believe he was there for the Bodhi Seed and the Bodhi Heart.

So, if Xiao Lin wasn't after those two things, then whose were he after? How could the Bodhi Ancient Tree not know?

Who else could it be but itself?

Therefore, it is quite normal that the Bodhi Ancient Tree launched an attack immediately after sensing Xiao Lin's approach, without giving him any chance.

Does it really have to wait until Xiao Lin is beneath it before it attacks?

It might even affect itself!

Therefore, let alone Xiao Lin, even if it were Hun Tiandi, Gu Yuan, or Zhukun who came, they would receive the same treatment as Xiao Lin!

At the same time, it was precisely his own treatment that made Xiao Lin understand why, despite the appearance of such a precious treasure as the Bodhi Ancient Tree, the top experts of the various Great Emperor clans did not personally try to seize it.

It's not that they don't want to, it's that they dare not!

Based on the attack just now from the Bodhi Ancient Tree, Xiao Lin sensed that its current strength was roughly on par with Gu Yuan, Hun Tiandi, and Zhukun Kun.

And this is the strength of the Bodhi Ancient Tree even in a weakened state!

If he were at his peak, that single lash from the other party would probably have killed Xiao Lin on the spot...

This is the awe-inspiring power of the Bodhi Ancient Tree!

Having experienced the power of the Bodhi Ancient Tree, Xiao Lin was now somewhat helpless.

Clearly, if he gets within a certain distance of the Bodhi Ancient Tree, the tree will attack again.

Although the distance prevented the other party from actually harming him, Xiao Lin didn't want to experience being sent flying into the depths of the Void again!

He's not a masochist...

The attack by the Bodhi Ancient Tree was, in fact, a warning to Xiao Lin.

It was a warning to him not to come any closer.

But Xiao Lin had already come all this way; how could he possibly back down?

Moreover, he had several reasons for searching for the Bodhi Ancient Tree...

However, having just been warned by the Bodhi Ancient Tree that it had flicked off a branch, Xiao Lin dared not approach it casually.

Finally, Xiao Lin stopped a hundred kilometers away from Bodhi.

Xiao Lin sensed that if he took another step forward, the branches on the horizon would probably fly over again.

Given the distance and with preparation, it wasn't that he couldn't withstand the Bodhi Ancient Tree's attacks; it was just that he didn't want to be hit again, and he didn't want to cause any misunderstandings.

He was just sent flying without warning.

"Phew~"

After reaching the critical point where the Bodhi Ancient Tree would launch its attack, Xiao Lin took a deep breath.

"Bodhi Ancient Tree, I mean you no harm, I just want to have a talk with you..."

Xiao Lin's voice traveled through his Dou Qi to the ears of the Bodhi Ancient Tree, a hundred miles away.

Then came a period of waiting for Xiao Lin.

"Back off..."

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, a thought appeared in Xiao Lin's mind as if out of thin air.

This startled Xiao Lin.

Keep in mind that he was already at the level of Nine-Star Dou Saint; ordinary people couldn't do something like that.

This shows that although the Bodhi Ancient Tree is currently in a weakened state, it still possesses many extraordinary abilities!

However, Xiao Lin could not possibly retreat as the Bodhi Ancient Tree had suggested.

For him, as long as the Bodhi Ancient Tree responds, it will be a good thing!

Because that means there's still room for negotiation!

If the other party doesn't respond, and Xiao Lin attacks as soon as he gets close, then there's really no point in negotiating.

At the same time, after the Bodhi Ancient Tree spoke, Xiao Lin remembered something.

So he immediately followed up with, "Bodhi Ancient Tree, are you good or evil now?"

Xiao Lin's voice was calm and unhurried, conveying a sense of composure.

"Rustling sound~"

Then, Xiao Lin noticed that as his voice traveled, the Bodhi Ancient Tree, which was thousands of feet tall, began to shake.

Clearly, Xiao Lin's words had touched a nerve with the Bodhi Ancient Tree.

It's important to know that Bodhi Ancient Tree at its peak can be tens of thousands of feet tall!

But what about now?

Looking into the distance, Xiao Lin saw that the Bodhi Ancient Tree, standing deep in the Vast Desolate Ancient Region, was only a few thousand feet tall.

The height of the Bodhi Ancient Tree itself is a testament to its strength.

It can be said that the ancient Bodhi Ancient Tree is currently in a period of weakness!

The reason for this is the evil thoughts of the Black-Robed Dou Di whom the Bodhi Ancient Tree and another Dou Emperor jointly killed.

Because it was entangled by the evil thoughts of that Black-Robed Dou Di, the original Bodhi Ancient Tree also developed its own evil side.

For countless years, the good and evil aspects of the Bodhi Ancient Tree have been constantly battling each other.

Earlier, when Xiao Lin was attacked by the Bodhi Ancient Tree, it was because the tree's evil side was in control.

However, Xiao Lin's question awakened the Bodhi Ancient Tree's benevolent nature.

Now, the good and evil consciousnesses within the Bodhi Ancient Tree are once again locked in a fierce battle.

This led to the scene Xiao Lin witnessed: the Bodhi Ancient Tree, thousands of feet tall, was constantly swaying.

"Boom"

A hazy green light emanated from the Bodhi Ancient Tree, and Xiao Lin could vaguely see a wisp of black mist mixed in with it...

Seeing this, Xiao Lin simply watched quietly, without any intention of intervening.

After all, who knows what unpredictable consequences might result from my rash intervention?

The Bodhi Ancient Tree swayed for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before it slowly stopped.

"Swish"

Then, another green light shot straight towards Xiao Lin.

Xiao Lin looked closely and found that it was still a branch about ten meters long.

At that moment, Xiao Lin almost had a panic attack!

Fortunately, this time, the lush green branches reached out instead of being pulled away!

Otherwise, Xiao Lin's figure would probably have already started to retreat rapidly.

Finally, the emerald green branch stopped less than a meter away from Xiao Lin.

Just as Xiao Lin was somewhat confused, the emerald green branch swayed the Bodhi leaf at its tip...
