Astral Dou Qi Shows Its Might

After gaining enlightenment under the Bodhi Ancient Tree and agreeing to try Xiao Lin's method, they began to take action.

As for the method Xiao Lin came up with, strictly speaking, it was the opposite of the Original Work.

In the Original Work, the Bodhi Ancient Tree suppressed the evil thoughts within itself, and then allowed Xiao Yan to use the Heavenly Flames to burn the Bodhi Seeds to generate pure energy, which was then used to cleanse the evil thoughts of the Dou Emperor within him.

Xiao Lin's method was to help the Bodhi Ancient Tree suppress the evil thoughts of the Dou Emperor, and then Bodhi Ancient Tree resolve its own evil thoughts!

Yes, it's different here.

Xiao Lin's approach was to address the problem of the Bodhi Ancient Tree's negative energy, rather than simply removing or cleansing it.

The saying "one thought can make you a Buddha, one thought can make you a demon" essentially means that good and evil are separated by a single thought and can transform into each other...

The Original Work solution was a drastic measure: to completely eliminate the evil thoughts from the body.

In this way, the problem can be solved, and the Bodhi Ancient Tree can be restored to its health.

But it's just a matter of recovering one's health.

It should be noted that, after so many years of erosion by the evil thoughts of the Dou Emperor, the evil thoughts born from the Bodhi Ancient Tree are not necessarily weaker than the good thoughts, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are even stronger.

It can be said that the power of the Bodhi Ancient Tree's malevolent intent should not be underestimated.

Xiao Lin's idea was to transform the Bodhi Ancient Tree's evil intentions into good ones!

This is what is meant by "one thought can make you a Buddha, one thought can make you a demon."

Since the original Bodhi Ancient Tree was corrupted by the evil thoughts of the Dou Emperor, thus generating malice.

So, is it impossible for the Bodhi Ancient Tree's evil intentions to transform back into good intentions?

Once the Bodhi Ancient Tree can achieve this, Xiao Lin believes that even if it cannot immediately return to its peak state, it shouldn't take too long.

Why do you think Xiao Lin went through all this trouble?

Wouldn't it be easier to just do it like Xiao Yan did in the Original Work?

Xiao Lin only wants to say that he is no longer just a witness to history, he is also a part of history!

He wanted to leave an even more significant mark on the history of the Dou Qi Continent.

In that case, his time travel wouldn't have been in vain!

It's that simple!

If the problem with the Bodhi Ancient Tree is solved like in the Original Work, what's the difference between him and a salted fish?

He was called "the Wise One" by the Bodhi Ancient Tree, okay?

Then he naturally has to do something befitting his status, doesn't he?

And so, after Xiao Lin and the Bodhi Ancient Tree reached an agreement, they quickly made preparations.

"I'm all ready!"

Beneath a miniature Bodhi Ancient Tree, several dozen feet tall, in that green space, Xiao Lin was already sitting cross-legged.

"Then I'll leave it to you... Next, I will guide you to see the evil thoughts left behind by that Dou Emperor powerhouse..."

The sound of the Bodhi Ancient Tree rang in Xiao Lin's ears.

"Bring it on!"

Xiao Lin said solemnly.

"Buzz~"

Almost the instant Xiao Lin finished speaking, a ripple suddenly appeared in the space where he was located.

Furthermore, as time goes by, this originally misty green space is visibly turning black.

"Boom"

Soon after, the warm, misty green light turned completely into black mist!

At this moment, the space where Xiao Lin was located had undergone a complete transformation compared to before!

"Die, die, die! They all deserve to die!"

"Destroy everything!"

"If I, the Emperor, were to die, what reason would this world have to exist?"

"Bodhi Ancient Tree, I curse you!"

"I will not die, it is you who deserve to die!"

At the same time, all sorts of voices filled with resentment and hatred reached Xiao Lin's ears.

The black aura surrounding Xiao Lin carried extremely negative emotions!

"Is this the evil thought of that Black-Robed Dou Di who died back then? It truly is a torturous thing! No wonder the Bodhi Ancient Tree developed evil thoughts after living in such an environment for countless years..."

Even I, tormented by the evil thoughts of Dou Emperor for so long, probably wouldn't be much better off than the Bodhi Ancient Tree, right?

"If it were Ordinary, they would probably go crazy in no time, right?"

Xiao Lin frowned slightly and muttered to himself.

At this moment, Xiao Lin could already imagine the torment the Bodhi Ancient Tree had been enduring all these years!

According to Xiao Lin's estimation, he could barely hold on for several decades under such delirious ramblings, preventing himself from falling into depravity.

However, if given enough time, he might also develop his own evil thoughts, just like the Bodhi Ancient Tree.

Then, in about a hundred years, he will likely fall into complete depravity.

As a powerful Nine-Star Dou Saint, Xiao Lin was aware of this aspect of himself.

Of course, all of this is predicated on the assumption that he has no defenses against these delirious speech techniques...

Having sensed the terrifying power of the Dou Emperor's evil intent, Xiao Lin naturally wouldn't foolishly try to withstand it.

In fact, there was a reason why Xiao Lin dared to ask the Bodhi Ancient Tree to let him suppress the evil thoughts of the Dou Emperor.

Because he possesses... Astral Dou Qi!

"Buzz~"

A glimmer of starlight suddenly appeared from within Xiao Lin's body.

Almost instantly, the black aura that had climbed onto his cheeks vanished without a trace.

Furthermore, all the negative ramblings that Xiao Lin had heard earlier were now completely blocked from his mind.

"As expected! My Astral Dou Qi is best suited to dealing with these filthy things! Even the evil thoughts of Dou Emperor cannot affect me!"

A confident smile played on Xiao Lin's lips.

Xiao Lin's Astral Dou Qi characteristic - Ten Thousand Arts Immunity!

Clearly, the evil thoughts of Dou Emperor belong to this kind of filthy thing, and are naturally restrained by Xiao Lin's Astral Dou Qi.

At the same time, after confirming that his Astral Dou Qi was effective against the evil thoughts of Dou Emperor, Xiao Lin was no longer worried that it would corrupt him.

Without the Astral Dou Qi, Xiao Lin believed that he would fall into depravity within a century under the corrupting influence of the Dou Emperor's evil thoughts.

However, with the Astral Dou Qi, the evil thoughts of the Dou Emperor would probably be eliminated as soon as they entered his body!

Therefore, Xiao Lin is now essentially in an invincible position.

"Now, it's my turn to retaliate!"

Then, Xiao Lin began to exert his strength.

"Buzz~"

Starlight continuously emanated from Xiao Lin's body.

Where the starlight passed, the black energy gave way!

At this moment, Xiao Lin, whose entire body was radiating starlight, was like a great sun.

As for the evil thoughts of the Dou Emperor, they are as pure and untainted as refined snow in spring.

As time went by, this once pitch-black space was completely filled with starlight!

As for the black mist that had been drifting around, it had long since vanished.

The so-called evil thoughts of Dou Emperor were surprisingly vulnerable in the face of Xiao Lin's Astral Dou Qi, which restrained them.

This scene was even somewhat beyond Xiao Lin's own expectations.

Actually, Xiao Lin's idea was wonderful, but he never expected that the outcome would be even more wonderful after it was put into practice!

It's like a complete and utter defeat!
