Chapter 917 The Bodhi Tree, A Hundred Lifetimes of Reincarnation!
The moment Xiao Yan shouted, the world began to twist wildly, and finally, like a shattered mirror, it crumbled without a trace.

"Om-"

With a flash, the illusory scene vanished instantly, replaced by a space filled with lush greenery and azure blue.

Within the space, an ancient tree, about ten feet tall, stood there as if it had existed since time immemorial. Its entire body was emerald green, without any tendrils or branches, resembling a piece of fine jade, radiating an astonishing vitality.

It looks just like a miniature version of an ancient tree in the outside world.

Clearly, the illusion from before was a trick played by the other side!

"Those are... the people who came to the Bodhi Tree before?!"

As his gaze swept across the area, Xiao Yan was astonished to discover that, within the ethereal orbs of light surrounding the Bodhi Ancient Tree, lay Xun'er and the others, who had entered the Bodhi Ancient Tree with him!

Without a doubt, they were now trapped in the illusion of the Bodhi tree.

"That ancient tree illusion was extremely realistic. If it weren't for the slight imperfection, even we would probably have a hard time escaping from it."

A cold glint flashed in Hun Ruoruo's eyes, but she had already made a preliminary judgment in her heart.

An ancient Bodhi tree.

As a former supreme being comparable to a Dou Di, trapping ordinary cultivators who hadn't even reached the level of a half-saint was naturally an easy task for him. He wouldn't even be surprised if they were refined into tree slaves.

The reason why he and Xiao Yan were able to escape from such powerful beings was that their Heavenly Realm souls alone were far from sufficient.

There must be a law that can counterbalance the other party.

Therefore, the answer is obvious.

"As fellow seekers of the path of reincarnation, you possess a trace of the same aura as it. Otherwise, you too might have fallen into the illusion."

Hun Ruoruo subtly pulled away the burning hot hand on her waist and said slowly.

"Uh, and what about you?"

Xiao Yan scratched his head, somewhat puzzled: "You shouldn't have any aura on you that originates from the same source as that Bodhi ancient tree."

"I do not possess the path of reincarnation."

Hun Ruoruo, with her hands on her hips, looked at the sacred and dignified ancient tree below with a playful expression, as if implying something: "But that guy seems to have more than just the aura of a Dou Di."

"What.?!"

Xiao Yan's pupils contracted as he activated a wisp of his clan's power, instantly channeling it into his eyes.

Xiao Clan's divine power: Erasure!

As Xiao Yan's thoughts stirred, the Bodhi Ancient Tree's majestic and sacred image, which had previously resembled a deity, suddenly changed once again.

There, on the tangled branches, was a huge wound that almost pierced through the entire heart of the tree. The dark and eerie wound was dripping with a foul, rotten smell like pus.

Like an eternal creation.

Just as Xiao Yan noticed the wounds on the ancient tree, the twisted, dark scar seemed to have foreseen it, and it also turned around and looked over. An aura as supreme as heaven and earth instantly enveloped Xiao Yan's body.

"That's... a true Battle Emperor."

Xiao Yan's eyes were filled with deep shock, as if their gazes had crossed a distance of ten thousand years and overlapped at this moment.

If a single attack can have such power, how terrifying must a true Dou Di be?

"No, that's not right."

However, in just a moment, Xiao Yan quickly noticed the abnormality.

This familiar hatred and resentment, like the purest evil thoughts, is not the aura of a true Battle Emperor at all.

If I had to say, it's somewhat similar to the soul of the Heavenly Tomb in the original Heavenly Tomb.

so.
"Is it also a negative emotion of a Dou Di?" Xiao Yan asked, half-certainly.

"That's right, that's why I was able to break free from the illusion thanks to the Soul Clan's divine bloodline." Soul Ruoruo announced the correct answer with a grin.

Upon hearing the affirmative reply, Xiao Yan's face immediately showed a wry smile. He and the Dou Di really had a deep connection!

Hun Ruoruo turned to look at the ancient tree and continued, "To put it simply, the current Bodhi Ancient Tree possesses two kinds of intelligence. One of them originally belonged to it and was for the good of saving all living beings."

"The other part, due to the negative emotions of that Dou Di, turned into the evil of enslaving all living beings."

At this point, Hun Ruoruo chuckled and said, seemingly unintentionally, "Looking at it this way, she does resemble me somewhat."

"So, if we want to obtain the legendary Bodhi Three Treasures, we must first help it dispel that evil spirit?"

Xiao Yan frowned as he stared at the terrifying scar, lost in thought.

"Hehe, husband, don't be impatient." Hun Ruoruo's eyes were deep, her voice ethereal. "Pure good and evil might not necessarily be a good thing."

"."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan frowned even more, but because of the Bodhi Tree, he did not ask any further questions and quickly walked to the foot of the tree.

"Whoosh-"

Sensing Xiao Yan's arrival, the silent Bodhi tree suddenly emitted a series of rapid sounds, as if in pain or struggling.

The next moment, a ball of light shot over.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yan's expression changed, and he subconsciously accepted it. When he raised his hand to look, he was surprised to find that it was a Bodhi seed!

Before he could react, countless emerald green light spots poured down like candy beans, crashing onto Xiao Yan's body with a thunderous roar.

Help me—I'll give it to you.

The intermittent transmission of divine thoughts caused Xiao Yan's lips to twitch involuntarily.

The value of Bodhi seeds is so great that even a semi-saint would fight tooth and nail for them. And the ancient Bodhi tree can casually sell dozens of them right now. What incredible wealth and power!

"Let's make this clear first, this is at most the reward for your sneak attack on us. It's far from enough to make me face the negative emotions of a Dou Di for your sake."

Undeterred by the lure of profit, Yan Tianzun rubbed his hands together with a forced smile and, unusually, returned to his old ways.

To counter the negative emotions of a Dou Di, even the ancestors and fathers-in-law of the past went to great lengths. Even with the Bodhi Ancient Tree as a guarantee, the other party is seriously injured and has already fallen below the Dou Di realm, so he may not be able to compare with the Soul Emperor and the other two.

He would never do something so dangerous that could cost him his life if he were alone, but with Ruoruo here, he would absolutely never do it.

Seeing Xiao Yan's indifferent attitude, the Bodhi Ancient Tree became anxious, its branches swaying rustling, and its divine sense transmission became faster.

—No combat required—Reincarnation—can be resolved!
"Reincarnation?"

Xiao Yan frowned, turned to look at Ruoruo who was being repelled by the power of reincarnation, and said in a deep voice, "You mean, you need to use reincarnation to stimulate your own power, so as to break free from the influence of the negative emotions of the Dou Di?"

! !
The ancient Bodhi tree was suddenly filled with excited thoughts.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yan immediately understood. As a fellow practitioner of the Dao of Reincarnation, he knew very well that to improve his mastery of this path, he had to observe all aspects of life in the mortal world and witness the lives of countless people.

"Two conditions."

After a long silence, Xiao Yan slowly extended two fingers and calmly said, "Release Xun'er and the others, and let Ruoruo enter the cycle of reincarnation with me. Otherwise, there's no point in talking."

"rustle!"

The ancient Bodhi tree understood his meaning.

The so-called Bodhi Three Treasures are not all fruits like Bodhi seeds. Just as the most important thing in cultivation is not fighting skills and techniques, what is truly valuable is often something ethereal and intangible.

And the legendary third treasure of Bodhi is the same.

Enlightenment under the Bodhi tree: Once a cultivator comes into contact with the path of reincarnation, they can take the opportunity to comprehend the cycle of reincarnation through a hundred lifetimes. Although it does not show a great advantage in the short term, it can give them a supreme chance to advance to the Dou Di level!

As for reincarnation, it was naturally not unfamiliar to Xiao Yan.

The light screen shattered silently, and Hun Ruoruo floated to Xiao Yan's side. Without saying a word, the two merely exchanged a glance before sitting back to back.

The divine sense of the ancient Bodhi tree quietly watched the young boy and girl below. They supported each other, but did not become reliance on each other. Instead, neither of them gave the other a second glance, remaining silent and tacitly in understanding.

Please.

The ancient tree seemed to sigh in their ears.

"let's start."

Xiao Yan said softly.

He was unwilling to fall behind, and she was no mere ornament either. From the moment they chose to walk hand in hand, it was destined that there would be no shortage of storms and hardships, and being timid and hesitant would be meaningless.

This method is both perilous and fortunate.

Since there is both fate and danger involved, how can I not go with her?
Gradually, I started to feel sleepy.

All the passion and tenderness were thrown into the furnace at this moment, returning to chaos.

Wu Tan City, Xiao Family.

With heavy snow approaching, Xiao Zhan has another newborn son.

Because his mother was freezing cold during childbirth and nearly died, he was named 'Yan' (炎).

It symbolizes a touch of warmth brought on a cold winter day.
