Chapter 504: Seeing the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree Again

The location where Xiao Ming and the girls were situated was quite a distance from their sensed destination. Even for a high-star Dou Venerate, traveling at a normal pace would take at least five to six days.

However, the speed of a Dou Saint was terrifying. Despite not traveling at full speed, the trio was almost there after only half a day.

On their journey, they also encountered other forces. Xiao Ming had spent a lot of time on alchemy, so this situation was not unexpected.

Most of these forces, the majority of which Xiao Ming had only heard of, were forces that usually kept a low profile.

These factions had a strong foundation, even though they usually did not show themselves. They possessed three experts at the peak of the Dou Venerate realm. One of them even had half a foot in the Half-Saint realm.

It showed how tempting the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree was to make these forces willing to send their foundation.

However, even though these forces were not weak, none of them detected the presence of Xiao Ming and the girls.

He had also noticed the Heavenly Court team among them. They had a large group, but he had no intention of joining them. They shouldn't have suffered any significant losses as long as they didn't charge recklessly. Casualties, on the other hand, were almost impossible to avoid.

Xiao Ming hadn't come here to babysit, after all. Looking for opportunities in a place like this meant taking risks.

...

The Ancient Region Stage was rumored to be the site of a battle that took place in ancient times. Many extremely powerful experts had died in that battle, causing the land to vaguely create a strange pressure. Because of this pressure, this place was the only place in the Ancient Wasteland Region where ferocious beasts were afraid to tread.

In addition, this Ancient Region Stage was located at an intersection between the middle and deepest parts of the Ancient Wasteland Region. From this stage, one could enter the deepest part of this ancient region.

Therefore, it had been unanimously chosen as the safest foothold in the Ancient Wasteland Region.

As Xiao Ming and his group approached the area within ten miles of the Ancient Region Stage, they could faintly see a vast square and endless mist in the vicinity.

The square was filled with densely packed crowds, each of them possessing at least the strength of a Dou Venerate.

"Why are there so many people? What should we do next?"

In the air, Zi Yan's eyebrows furrowed when she saw such a large gathering of people.

"There are indeed a lot of people, but we don't need to pay attention to them. This isn't our destination. Let's just fly over them," Xiao Ming replied, although he had some concerns in his mind.

'This doesn't make sense. I sensed the aura of the Gu Clan here, and even the aura of Gu Xun'er is there. How come I can't sense the auras of those powerful Dou Saints from the Gu Clan?'

Despite the fact that Gu Xun'er only appeared to have a Dou Emperor's Guard during her time in the Xiao Clan, divine bloodline talents were highly valued by the Gu Clan. For such a dangerous venture as charging into the Ancient Wasteland Region, she would undoubtedly have a Dou Saint as her guard.

Moreover, many young members of the Gu Clan came this time. Losing a few of them by accident would be painful even for them.

The same logic applied to the other Ancient Clans as well.

Therefore, this scene was not in line with common sense.

'Could it be that they sent people far beyond my cultivation realm?'

This thought was immediately rejected by him. Even for the Gu Clan, sending one or two five-star Dou Saints was already the limit; five-star Dou Saints weren't cabbages.

Not knowing the reason, Xiao Ming didn't dwell on it. He was here to find the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree, not to solve mysteries.

"Let's move on..."

With that, Xiao Ming directly crossed the Ancient Region Stage and flew towards the lush mountain peaks. The mountains were only a hundred miles away. As the trio flew over the last lush green mountain, an endless black plain with no visible end stretched before them.

On this boundless plain, black clouds filled the sky and massive, ferocious beasts filled the ground. They were densely packed and looked like a blood-colored sea stretching to the horizon. Fierce, violent roars echoed across the plains like thunder...

Looking off into the distance, where the sky seemed to meet the earth, a vast tide of massive ferocious beasts roared incessantly, their bloodthirsty cries filling the air. Even Xiao Ming, who had seen many great scenes, couldn't help but be slightly astonished. This scene was simply too spectacular.

If these ferocious beasts had a little more intelligence, the over a thousand Dou Venerates on the Ancient Region Stage, including those from the Ancient Clans, wouldn't stand a chance.

As for Xiao Ming and his girls, it was still the same result - not worth mentioning.

The three of them charged into the tide of ferocious beasts, slicing through them like a hot knife through butter. They passed through the tide at an extremely high speed, and the dense tide of ferocious beasts could not even stop them for a moment.

Wherever they went, the ferocious beasts were torn to pieces by the raging Dou Qi, turning them into bursts of blood blossoms.

If anyone were to look down from the sky, they would see that despite the large number of ferocious beasts, none of them could hinder the trio's progress, so much so that the horde was quickly torn apart.

Before long, it was as if they had pierced a fog. Everything before them became clear. The open ground was now free of any ferocious beasts.

Their gazes turned to the depths where, a few thousand meters away, a huge, lush green ancient tree stood alone in this vast plain. A clear air spread from above the ancient tree. It occasionally transformed into different shapes, appearing mysterious and unfathomable.

"Is this the legendary Bodhisattva Ancient Tree? It's huge..."

Zi Yan's tone was full of excitement. Her treasure-hunting instincts told her that the tree in front of her far surpassed any treasure she had seen before, even the Dragon Phoenix Source Fruit paled in comparison!

"I wonder if it can be eaten like the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit..." she murmured.

Qing Lin also examined this legendary object with curiosity. Even though they were extremely far from the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree, she could tell just how enormous it was. Its canopy covered the heavens and the earth, like an ancient sacred object that had endured through the ages, radiating an aura of antiquity and vicissitude.

However, upon hearing Zi Yan's words, Qing Lin retracted her curious gaze and couldn't help but chuckle, "Hehe, Sister Zi Yan, this Bodhisattva Ancient Tree probably can't be eaten..."

"Besides, the aura of the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree is pure and harmonious, embracing all things. Just by being here, our Dou Qi circulation speed is a little faster than usual. Even if you could eat it, it would be a tremendous waste." She was more sensitive to such things because of her Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils.

Zi Yan also felt that her words sounded somewhat absurd. She blinked her big eyes and replied innocently, "I was just talking, you know. The Bodhisattva Ancient Tree is not that easy to obtain."

Xiao Ming curled his lips. He could tell that Zi Yan still had some ideas in her head, so he said quickly to dispel her thoughts.

"More than just not easy, if it is displeased and wants to deal with us, with just the three of us, we probably won't even be a meal for it."

If Zi Yan had the strength of the Advanced Nine-Star Stage, there might be a possibility of realizing her thoughts. The Dragon Phoenix Physique was indeed terrifying enough, and competing with Zi Yan at the same level was almost impossible. However, the current Zi Yan was only a six-star Dou Saint, so it was best to forget about it.
