All the heavens, starting with Little Li Flying Dagger

According to Wang Gan's perspective, in terms of foundation and aptitude, no species on the Dou Qi Continent can compare to the Bodhi Ancient Tree. Even a different kind of fire-transformed being like the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor is nothing compared to the Bodhi Ancient Tree, which has lived for countless millennia.

In the world of Shrouding the Heavens, the Bodhi Tree would be comparable to an elixir of immortality.

Although such naturally born saints possess boundless supernatural powers and have lifespans even longer than the strongest beings, they all have one limitation—they cannot take human form.

In the world of Shrouding the Heavens, only the Azure Emperor has ever manifested the elixir of immortality. However, when such a rare and precious material manifests, its aptitude and status will be extremely high.

The strength of the Azure Emperor goes without saying. Originally, he was born from the elixir of immortality, and his longevity substances were far more abundant than those of ordinary emperors. He could live as many lifetimes as he wanted. Later, he failed in his attempt to evolve the Immortal Realm on his own, but he still easily lived to the fourth life of Emperor Ye.

He later failed to ascend to the Immortal Realm, but the power of the Immortal Elixir still brought him back to life. He then hitched a ride on the Heavenly Court's coattails and became a Quasi-Immortal Emperor!
In Wang Gan's view, the Bodhi Ancient Tree's status was definitely higher than that of the Dou Qi Continent world. It was also the Dou Qi Continent world that limited it; otherwise, there would be no reason why it had lived for so many tens of thousands of years without being able to break through to the Dou Di realm.

Clearly, the Dou Qi Continent cannot support the transformation of a Bodhi Ancient Tree-level rare treasure.

"Although you belong to the Divine Tree Clan and have a long lifespan, if you do not break through to a higher realm, you will eventually wither away."

"Perhaps you can live another life by relying on the divine tree's power, but the intelligence that will emerge afterward will not be your own."

Wang Gan patiently and persuasively offered advice to the ancient Bodhi tree.
The ancient Bodhi tree did not speak, but its spirit swayed as well.

Wang Gan's words undoubtedly struck a nerve with its hidden worries. Although it was a divine tree with a long lifespan, it was not infinite. Sooner or later, its lifespan would be exhausted, and it would enter a new cycle of reincarnation.

And the world is so big, it wants to go out and see it!
If it cannot take human form, then the Bodhi Ancient Tree will be trapped in the desolate ancient domain for its entire life, confined to this small space.

The ancient Bodhi tree shook itself, earnestly asking Wang Gan if there was any way to help it transform into human form.

"Come with me."

Wang Gan's lips curled into a smile.

"Although I can't help you take human form immediately, I come from a higher world. Even a Dou Di is only a mid-level powerhouse in my world."

"There will definitely be a way to help you take human form there. At the very least, you can use my vision to observe this world!"

The Bodhi Ancient Tree was moved. It possessed extremely high intelligence and was also known as the Tree of Wisdom and Reincarnation. Its divine soul power was immense; the illusions it created could immerse even a semi-saint. It naturally saw through Wang Gan's words.
After hesitating for a moment, the ancient Bodhi tree nodded with its swaying branches. "Alright!"

Wang Gan laughed heartily, overjoyed.

In Wang Gan's view, the Bodhi Ancient Tree is the most valuable tree in the Dou Qi Continent, far surpassing even the so-called Burning Technique, the Tomb of the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe, and the Strange Fire Emperor Pill!

In Wang Gan's eyes, the Bodhi Tree was even more valuable than the immortal elixir from the world of Shrouding the Heavens!

The reason is that the cultivation system Wang Gan is currently practicing, which is the unique creation of the Desolate Heaven Emperor Shi Hao in order to cope with the Chaotic Ancient Era that is getting closer and closer to the end of the Dharma Age—using the body as a seed and transforming the body into the world!
By gradually developing the human body world, starting from the Sea of ​​Wheels, opening up the Sea of ​​Suffering, and forming the prototype of the internal space, it is subsequently strengthened through stages such as the Spring of Life, the Bridge of Divine Power, and the Other Shore.

The subsequent Four Extremes Realm—the four poles of the human body transform into the four poles of heaven and earth.

Dragon Transformation – Refining the spine through nine transformations, the spine becomes a pillar of heaven, supporting the existence of the small world;
The Sendai Secret Realm allows the small world to grow infinitely through the accumulation of laws. Strictly speaking, Quasi-Emperors and Great Emperors are all in the process of accumulating the laws of their inner world.

When cultivation reaches its final stage, one's own internal world becomes formed, independent of external extraordinary substances, and can even continuously produce longevity substances on its own. This state of 'self-sufficient internal universe' is called—the Immortal of the Mortal World!
In the process of accumulating the laws of the world, the great medicine of heaven and earth, divine objects and the laws of the Dao can greatly accelerate this process!
Because the divine objects produced between heaven and earth inherently possess the laws and principles that directly reach the essence of heaven and earth, if one can directly extract even a fraction of them, it would undoubtedly be a thousand times better than one's own arduous comprehension.

People like the Azure Emperor are themselves immortal elixirs, their bodies filled with immortal laws and Dao principles. After taking human form, they become even more powerful, and there are basically no obstacles on their path to immortality in the mortal world.

Wang Gan set his sights on the Bodhi Tree for this very purpose: to comprehend its Dao principles over a long period, which would naturally allow him to rapidly improve his cultivation level after reaching the Immortal Platform. However, if that were all, the Bodhi Tree would certainly not be as valuable as the immortal elixir from the world of Shrouding the Heavens.

The greatest value of the Bodhi Ancient Tree lies in the fact that it is a divine tree, naturally possessing the ability to support the world, equivalent to the ancient Jianmu or the World Tree. If it is cultivated in a small world within the body, it can not only support the existence of the small world, but also grow together with the small world!
"I'm currently at the half-step dragon transformation stage, and I'm about to transform the dragon's spine into a pillar of heaven for the human body's secret realm."

"Bodhi Tree, I need your help in my spiritual practice!"

Wang Gan laughed heartily, raised his hand, and endless chaotic holy light appeared. His aura rose steadily and directly entered the Eight Forbidden Domains, uprooting the Bodhi Ancient Tree!
Otherwise, given the extremely high density and immense weight of the Bodhi Tree, Wang Gan would not have been able to lift it without at least the cultivation level of a Dou Sheng (Battle Saint), and this was without the Bodhi Tree itself offering any resistance.

The moment the ancient Bodhi tree was uprooted, the earth cracked open inch by inch, revealing endless roots that densely covered the entire small world!
As the saying goes, a large tree has deep roots, and given the size of the ancient Bodhi tree, the number of its roots must be terrifying!
However, the Bodhi tree did not have any roots attached, because if it did, Wang Gan would not have been able to lift it. Instead, with a thought, the roots at the base of the tree quickly fell off, and the remaining roots also decayed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The ancient Bodhi tree severed its tail to survive, abandoning all its roots. As a result, its emerald green branches and vitality dimmed, and its original rank of half-emperor fell to the level of a Battle Saint.

Because such divine trees, unless they take human form and emerge into the world, are inherently difficult to move and are bound tightly to the earth. If their roots are severed, they will undoubtedly lose half their life. Furthermore, if they are deprived of the earth's nutrients for a long time, the Bodhi tree will rapidly decay and die!
Seeing that the Bodhi Tree had broken free from the earth's constraints, Wang Gan's mind stirred, and a brilliant light shone from his dantian. The golden, shimmering Bitter Sea Secret Realm suddenly expanded, instantly encompassing the Bodhi Tree within its boundless expanse! (End of Chapter)
