Chapter 506: Resentment of a Dou God
The emerald Bodhisattva Ancient Tree suddenly trembled as Xiao Ming observed it. Many light clusters flew out of it and stopped in front of him.
These light clusters were changing and showing different scenes. Xiao Ming's eyes quickly scanned them and his expression quickly changed. The people inside were Qing Lin and Zi Yan. Even they couldn't avoid being trapped in their own illusion.
"I respectfully request Senior to release my two partners. I am willing to negotiate with Senior. If Senior has any requests, I will not refuse!" Xiao Ming clenched his fists and spoke.
Faced with Xiao Ming's plea, the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree swayed again and another light cluster appeared. Inside the light cluster was a Bodhisattva Ancient Tree that reached a towering height of thirty thousand meters.
In front of the ancient tree, a figure dressed in black stood in the air. An aura resembling the supreme ruler of the world slowly emanated from this person's body. Under the influence of this aura, even the colossal thirty-thousand-meter-tall Bodhisattva Ancient Tree seemed rather diminutive…
'This is... a Dou God!' A glimmer of astonishment flashed in Xiao Ming's eyes as he gazed intently at the black-robed figure. Even though it was merely an image, the aura it emitted made his soul tremble.
Apart from a Dou God who only existed in ancient legends, who else could possess such an aura?
Even the strongest person Xiao Ming had ever met, his soon-to-be father-in-law Zhu Kun, lacked such an imposing presence.
No wonder everyone was so obsessed with breaking through to Dou God. This was a qualitative change. If a Dou God acted without restraint, it wouldn't take long for them to slaughter the entire Dou Qi Continent.
Thinking about it, Dou God experts were not so rare in ancient times. Back then, the world's Origin Qi was abundant, and anyone who reached the peak nine-star Dou Saint could try to break through and become a Dou God.
Not to mention the ancient times, even in Zhu Kun's era, the number of Ancient Clans was not small. Hun Can was only a small clan at that time. This indicated that there were more Dou Gods back then. In addition, the Dou Gods still had room for advancement.
It wasn't all peace and harmony among the Dou Gods. Considering the size of the current Dou Qi Continent, how could it withstand the impact of so many battles?
Xiao Ming believed that the current Dou Qi Continent was not complete. It was just that the truth about these things had long been lost in the river of history, and now even the existence of Origin Qi was unknown to many people.
This was a tragedy for the once-prosperous Dou Qi Continent.
Xiao Ming continued to watch the light clusters. In one of the light clusters, the black figure was standing in front of the colossal Bodhisattva Ancient Tree. Suddenly, the figure launched an attack on the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree.
In retaliation, the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree slowly released wave after wave of monstrous energy. Due to this terrifying exchange, the entire sky began to collapse...
Xiao Ming was not surprised. The strange gray aura that Qing Lin had sensed earlier was left behind by this black figure. He had attempted to seize the spirit of the ancient tree, but was ultimately killed here.
The images inside the light cluster accelerated until they stopped at the last scene. A destructive force erupted from outside the area visible within the light cluster and struck the black figure mercilessly.
In the end, the body of the black figure and the surrounding area were blasted to smithereens…
With the combined efforts of the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree and another mysterious Dou God, the black-robed Dou God was completely vanquished.
'Two Dou Gods! That was the golden age of cultivation! Now, if it weren't for the legacy of the Tou She Ancient God, when all the Ancient Clans were to disappear, the number of Dou Saints on the Dou Qi Continent would also plummet. By then, the age of decline would have arrived.'
The image in the light cluster did not stop with the fall of the black-robed Dou God. Traces of black air suddenly appeared.
The moment it appeared, the air quickly entered the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree. With the entrance of this air current, the clear air emanating from the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree gained an obscure chill.
Once the images the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree wanted to show Xiao Ming were complete, the light slowly dimmed.
"Puff!"
The light coalesced into an invisible matter that surprisingly rushed into Xiao Ming's head with lightning-like speed. Eventually, this light turned into unusual information that disseminated apart.
Xiao Ming closed his eyes and digested this unusual flow of information. It was a long time later when he slowly opened his eyes and there was a little more enlightenment in them, but not much different from what he already knew.
The Bodhisattva Ancient Tree in front of him had existed for an unknown amount of time, but one thing was certain, it had existed since prehistoric times.
However, despite countless years of existence, it had not evolved and formed its own intelligence. Perhaps it was too naturally powerful, and the heavens made it extremely difficult for it to develop a complete intelligence. Whatever the reason, this Bodhisattva Ancient Tree was not entirely intelligent. It could only function with the basic abilities of a spiritual object, such as protecting itself or retaliating...
The images that came from the light cluster earlier were from an extremely distant era. There had once been a severely injured Dou God who had attempted to forcefully remove the spirit of the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree in order to heal his injuries.
In the end, he was killed by his opponent and the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree working together. Of course, slaying the black-clad Dou God had evidently caused some of the Dou God's negative emotions to gather together and invade the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree the moment he was about to be killed.
It could only be said that the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree was rather unlucky.
"Do you want me to help you?" Xiao Ming looked at the lush ancient tree in front of him and asked quietly.
He knew that the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree before him had two tree spirits, one leaning towards evil and one leaning towards good.
In response to Xiao Ming's words, the ancient tree began to sway as if nodding but then shook as if shaking its head, leaving Xiao Ming confused.
"What does that mean?"
The ancient tree showed no sign of answering. A light cluster appeared again. A wisp of flame appeared in that cluster of light, and then a Bodhisattva Seed materialized.
The flame melted the Bodhisattva Seed and a clear energy appeared, finally entering the body of the ancient tree. With the entrance of this energy, the dark chill that was spreading through the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree diminished slightly.
After the demonstration, green light spots floated out of its body, eventually hovering in front of Xiao Ming. The glow gradually faded, revealing their true forms. All of these light spots were Bodhisattva Seeds!
Moreover, from the crystal luster they were emitting, they were clearly many times purer than the Bodhisattva Seed in Xiao Ming's hand...
Xiao Ming scanned the green light spots and let out a sigh. Although the Bodhisattva Seed wasn't as terrifying as the Bodhisattva Heart, it could greatly increase the success rate of breaking through to the Dou Saint realm. If placed outside, not to mention these high-quality Bodhisattva Seeds, even the impure Bodhisattva Seed in his hand would be able to tempt countless experts.
However, at this moment, more than twenty of these Bodhisattva Seeds, which were terribly rare in the outside world, had suddenly appeared in front of him.
He also knew that these Bodhisattva Seeds were just a drop in the ocean for the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree. Who knew how many were hidden in its body?
Xiao Ming didn't know when his own little seedling would produce so many Bodhisattva Seeds, or even a Bodhisattva Heart. But without tens of thousands of years, it was almost hopeless.
'Using Bodhisattva Seeds to expel negative emotions. This is really too wasteful...'
Xiao Ming shook his head, about to make a move. But a thought suddenly crossed his mind.
'The ancient tree and my little seedling come from the same source. Can I get it to help catalyze my little seedling, or maybe guide this mature ancient tree to the outside world?'
