BTTH: I married Xun'er, but she refuses to consummate our marriage!

Chapter 226: Isn't He the Greatest Genius of Our Generation?



The Ancient Wasteland Region lies to the northeast of Central Plains. It didn't take long for Gu Fei to reach there from the Gu Realm. Along the way, he encountered massive crowds heading in the same direction.

The allure of the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree was so strong that it made these people forget about the dangers of the wild Ancient Region.

The Wasteland town, the closest human settlement to the Ancient Wasteland Region, was usually sparsely populated. The fearsome reputation of the region kept most people away, leaving the town almost deserted throughout the year.

But now, things were different.

The emergence of the Bodhi Ancient Tree had drawn in countless people, transforming this quiet town into a bustling hub.

"Everyone in the world pursues profit," Gu Fei sighed as he observed the large crowds gathering in the town. Most of these people were only heading to the Wasteland Region to become cannon fodder.

Otherwise, the Spatial Trade Fair wouldn't have deliberately spread the news about the Bodhi Tree.

Before him stood an ancient forest, exuding a primordial aura. The massive trees, hundreds of feet tall, stood like giants, their canopies blotting out the sky and making it difficult for sunlight to penetrate.

Looking deeper into the forest, a dark and ominous atmosphere prevailed, with the occasional menacing beast roar sending chills down one's spine.

Without any hesitation, Gu Fei wrapped himself in spatial energy and charged straight into the forest.

In the forest's outer area, tiny, invisible poisonous insects filled the air, but they posed no threat to Gu Fei. The ground was littered with corpses, many of whom had died from poison.

Gu Fei felt no pity for these people. By choosing to come here, they had accepted the possibility of death.

Possessing a Bodhisattva Seed allowed Gu Fei to roughly sense the direction of the Bodhi Ancient Tree. After an hour, he reached the central area of the Wasteland Region.

The beasts here were different from those outside. Though powerful, they were unintelligent, which meant even some of the seventh or eighth-rank beasts hadn't taken human form.

"Boom! Boom!"

As Gu Fei ventured deeper into the region, ferocious beasts continuously charged at him, their jaws wide open.

However, upon approaching within a hundred feet of Gu Fei, these beasts were torn apart by an invisible force, their bodies exploding into pieces.

A few hours later, Gu Fei arrived at a place known as the Ancient Battlefield.

The Ancient Battlefield was said to have been the site of an ancient war, where many powerful warriors had fallen. The remnants of their power created a strange pressure that kept even the fiercest beasts at bay.

Additionally, the Ancient Battlefield was situated at the border between the central and deeper parts of the Ancient Wasteland Region. It was the safest resting point for the various factions.

Currently, a large number of people were gathered in the vast square of the Ancient Battlefield.

"Who is that? He entered this place alone?"

In one corner of the square, a girl dressed in colorful clothes, exuding a noble aura, stared at Gu Fei in surprise. This girl was Feng Qing'er, from the Heaven Demon Phoenix Tribe. Due to her dual attributes of wind and lightning, she had spent the past few years studying at the Wind Lightning Pavilion. In her tribe, she was considered a genius.

"Another one who will die in the Ancient Wasteland Region..."

Beside her, a man with colorful pupils spoke dismissively.

"Jiu Feng, watch your words!"Nôv(el)B\\jnn

A black-clad man next to him warned cautiously.

"Who would have thought that Gu Fei would personally come to the Wasteland Region? This could be trouble!"

The black-clad man looked at Gu Fei with a mixture of fear and respect.

"Hun Yu, do you know that person?"

The man with colorful pupils asked, puzzled.

"Gu Fei of the Gu Clan, known as the greatest genius of our generation. Who wouldn't know of him?"

Hun Yu replied slowly, his voice filled with both fear and envy.

"That's Gu Fei?"

Upon hearing this, both Jiu Feng and Feng Qing'er turned pale, clearly recognizing Gu Fei's reputation.

In the sky, Gu Fei noticed the people below watching him. However, he paid no attention to them, dismissing them as insignificant.

"Once I pass through this area of beast tides, I'll be able to see the Bodhi Ancient Tree..."

Gu Fei continued onward without stopping.

"What? He's charging into the beast tides alone?"

Jiu Feng's face turned pale.

He and Hun Yu had arrived at the Ancient Battlefield long ago but had not ventured further. They were waiting for more cannon fodder to clear a path for them.

"No, Gu Fei is a Dou Saint. If he's here, the Bodhi Ancient Tree's fortune will surely be taken by him..."

Hun Yu's expression changed as he gritted his teeth and crushed a spatial jade slip. As it shattered, a spatial rift slowly appeared behind him, emitting a powerful aura.

"A senior from the Hun Clan is getting involved?"

Seeing hiss actions, Jiu Feng's eyes flashed with uncertainty. He hadn't expected Gu Fei's presence to cause such anxiety in someone like Hun Yu, who was a genius in his own right. Such a powerful figure would even make the elders of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Tribe tread carefully.

...

Gu Fei crossed a lush mountain peak, and a vast black plain stretched before him. Dark clouds hung over the plain, and the ground was teeming with colossal beasts, so densely packed they resembled a sea of blood.

Violent roars echoed like thunder across the land.

"Courting death..."

As Gu Fei stepped into the sky above this place, countless beasts charged at him.

With a casual wave of his hand, a vacuum appeared before him, and countless beasts were

crushed to death.

The wails of the dying beasts echoed through the heavens and earth.

With Gu Fei's strength as a Dou Saint, no matter how many beasts stood in his way, they were nothing more than cannon fodder.

Soon, Gu Fei traversed the beast-infested area.

His gaze fell upon a massive ancient tree standing alone on the vast plain about a thousand

feet away. The tree's canopy spread wide, and a pure aura emanated from it, sometimes shifting into various forms, appearing mysterious and wondrous.

"So this is the legendary Bodhisattva Ancient Tree..."
