People fight and become emperors in advance

Chapter 336 Arrangement
In the grand and spacious hall, Chen Xiao sat comfortably in the main seat. On his left and right were Xiao Yixian and other female relatives, as well as a group of high-ranking figures from Zixiao Pavilion, including Tianhuo Venerable, Tiejian Venerable, and Hai Bodong.

"Everyone knows the information brought back by the Heavenly Fire: the Bodhi Ancient Tree has appeared in the Desolate Ancient Domain. Such an opportunity is rare, perhaps only once every ten thousand years."

Upon hearing Chen Xiao's words, everyone in the hall nodded slightly.

If we were to rank the rare and precious materials on the Dou Qi Continent, the Bodhi Ancient Tree would definitely be among the top three!

The Bodhi tree is also known as the wisdom tree in some ancient texts.

This tree grows one ring every thousand years, and it only matures when it has a hundred rings. Such a long period of time is enough for time to erode anything, but the Bodhi tree is outside of time. It can almost be considered one of the oldest species on the continent.

It is said that in ancient times, the Bodhi Tree would appear once every thousand years. Each appearance would cause a sensation on the continent, and there were many powerful people at the Dou Sheng level who perished in the struggle for the Bodhi Tree!
In the last tens of thousands of years, the Bodhi tree has encountered some unknown problem, and its appearance frequency has become irregular.

According to some ancient records, only one Bodhi tree grows on the Dou Qi Continent. It possesses its own wisdom, and each time it appears, it hides deep underground, making it almost impossible for anyone to find. It will only reappear in the world when the next time comes.

The ancient Bodhi tree, instantly becoming sacred!
This is no exaggeration; any one of the renowned Bodhi Three Jewels is an opportunity that people would covet.

The first of the Three Jewels is the Bodhi mind contained within the ancient Bodhi tree.

Those who attain Bodhicitta transform their minds into Bodhi, and becoming a saint is no longer a delusion. In fact, it can be said that as long as one refines it, one will surely become a saint!

This is not a rumor. In the past, there was such a powerful figure who, after consuming Bodhi Heart, transformed himself from someone whose talent was not particularly outstanding and whose strength was only at the level of a two-star Dou Zun. In less than five years, he broke through all the obstacles to advancement at an astonishing speed and finally reached the level of Dou Sheng, shocking the continent and becoming known as Bodhi Heart!

This almost godlike effect is enough to drive all Dou Zun powerhouses crazy. Whoever can obtain this Bodhi Heart will directly have a pass to advance to Dou Sheng and reach the peak level in this world!
Secondly, let's talk about the Bodhi seeds.

Although this item is not as good as the Bodhi Heart, it can still greatly increase the success rate of advancing to the Dou Sheng realm. For some peak Dou Zun, it also has an irresistible allure.

After all, breaking through to the level of a half-saint is extremely difficult and dangerous. Even some peak Dou Zun experts might not be able to achieve it even if they tried their whole lives. At such a time, a Bodhi seed could give them a glimpse of the possibility of defying fate, and anyone would go crazy for it.

As for the rarest of the three treasures of Bodhi—enlightenment under the Bodhi tree…

Throughout history, very few people have had such an opportunity, and the people in the hall do not know much about it either.

But the rarer and more precious any opportunity is, the more obvious it is. Anyone with a brain knows that the benefits of enlightenment under the Bodhi tree are no less than the Bodhi mind!
Based on all of the above, it is evident that the Bodhi Ancient Tree holds great appeal for Dou Zun powerhouses.

It is conceivable that now that the Bodhi Ancient Tree has appeared, it will not be long before the Dou Zun of the Central Continent will be moved by its news!

"This opportunity is one that my Zixiao Pavilion will also participate in. However, everything has its threshold. Behind every great opportunity lies a great risk. After all, without sufficient strength, it is difficult to venture deep into the Desolate Ancient Domain."

"Therefore, after careful consideration, I have decided..."

Everyone pricked up their ears, waiting for Chen Xiao's instructions.

Chen Xiao glanced at everyone in the hall, smiled, and continued, "For this trip to the Desolate Ancient Domain, all experts above the Dou Zun level from the Pavilion and the Ancient Dragon Clan are welcome to go, led by Tian Huo."

Those who are above Dou Zun and below Dou Sheng naturally include Cao Ying.

However, even after refining the Three Thousand Burning Flames and consuming numerous pills, Cao Ying is currently only at the level of a six-star Dou Zun, still quite a distance from the Heavenly Flame Venerable who has already reached the third-stage Dou Zun.

Apart from the two of them, the other Dou Zun of Zixiao Pavilion, Iron Sword Venerable has now reached the four-star Dou Zun level, and Kun Laoguai, whom Chen Xiao recruited at the Pill Gathering, has also reached the one-star Dou Zun level after the aftereffects of using the secret technique were eliminated.

As for the Dou Zun of the Ancient Dragon Clan, there are even more of them. For example, Hei Qing, whom Chen Xiao is most familiar with, can also participate in this trip.

"Tianhuo, Ying'er will be accompanied by many Heavenly Demon Puppets on this trip. Before we see the Bodhi Ancient Tree, you will be in charge of everything. I will not interfere. But after we see the Bodhi Ancient Tree, those below the Six-Star Dou Zun should not go in. As for the reason, you will understand when you get there."

"Yes!" Venerable Tianhuo stood up to accept the order. Chen Xiao nodded slightly: "I will also be going to the Desolate Ancient Domain this time, but only in secret."

The emergence of the Bodhi Ancient Tree is a grand feast for the continent's Dou Zun powerhouses, with very few true Dou Sheng powerhouses participating, and even half-saints are rare.

The reasons for this are nothing more than a few points.

Firstly, Bodhi seeds and Bodhi mind are most effective for Dou Zun level experts, but not so attractive to Dou Sheng level experts.

As for seeking enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, that's too abstract and unrealistic.

Secondly, the Bodhi Ancient Tree itself possesses terrifying strength, yet the powerful figures on the continent do not know much about it. Even Dou Sheng (Battle Saint) level experts face the risk of perishing.

Therefore, it is not worth the risk to seek enlightenment under the elusive Bodhi tree.

Finally, there are the unspoken rules among various forces, and even among ancient races.

Once a certain force sends a Dou Sheng to participate, other forces will inevitably follow suit and send their own Dou Sheng to counterbalance the conflict, eventually leading to a Dou Sheng melee. This will not only affect smaller forces but also plunge various races into uncontrollable conflicts.

In contrast, sending younger generations to participate not only allows them to compete for opportunities but also provides valuable experience, with far less risk than sending a Dou Sheng (a powerful martial arts master) to take action.

Chen Xiao's current strength has reached the level of a five-star Dou Sheng. Although the outside world is unaware that he has made further progress, it is not advisable to go there openly, lest the Soul Clan notice him.

"Okay, you guys go ahead, Ying'er stays behind." After giving these instructions, Chen Xiao waved his hand.

After everyone left the main hall, Chen Xiao didn't hide anything and told Cao Ying in detail about the secret of how the Bodhi Ancient Tree was contaminated by the negative emotions of a Dou Di powerhouse, so that she could be mentally prepared.

On this trip to the Desolate Ancient Domain, Chen Xiao valued the Bodhi Heart the most, and only then did he seek enlightenment under the Bodhi Tree.

After all, Bodhicitta is related to whether his pre-paid prayers can be fulfilled!

Cao Ying now possesses multiple different flames, and her strength far surpasses Xiao Yan's, making her the most likely person to be invited by the Bodhi Ancient Tree to help her.

Therefore, if Chen Xiao fails to gain the favor of the Bodhi Ancient Tree, Cao Ying will be the last chance.

If both of them fail, then Chen Xiao's only chance to complete the follow-up of the pre-borrowed Bodhi Heart will probably be when he advances to the Dou Di realm in the future.

“Ying’er, keep this Bodhi seed with you. It might have an unexpected effect when you see the ancient Bodhi tree.”

Chen Xiao flipped his hand and handed the Bodhi seeds he had just received in advance to Cao Ying.

Over the past two months, Elder Mo has lived up to Chen Xiao's expectations and has successfully refined the Thunder Tribulation Pill, thus completing the follow-up to Chen Xiao's advance payment of the Thunder Tribulation Pill.

Cao Ying nodded slightly and carefully put the Bodhi seed away.

"I've got it all down."

"Well, the news of the Bodhi Tree's emergence hasn't spread throughout the continent yet, so there's no need for you to rush off. Let's set off in a month."

"it is good!"
