Crack, crackle! A surging tide of pure energy continuously surged into Xiao Yan’s body, causing a series of crisp cracking sounds. Under this frenzied influx, in just a few moments, Xiao Yan felt that the fighting spirit he had consumed earlier was completely restored. Moreover, the fighting spirit contained within his body seemed even denser than when it was at its peak before…
“What a terrifying ancient Bodhi tree,” Xiao Yan couldn’t help but gasp in amazement as he sensed the changes in his body. The energy within the Bodhi tree was incredibly pure; it didn’t need any refinement to be converted into fighting spirit for absorption. This meant that the Bodhi tree was an endless source of fighting spirit. As long as it existed, one would never have to worry about running out of fighting spirit.
Of course, the most fearsome aspect was not just this. The Bodhi tree seemed to possess a mysterious capacity-expanding effect. For example, if the amount of fighting spirit Xiao Yan could originally store in his body was a fixed value, the Bodhi tree could add to this fixed amount. This meant that while it helped restore fighting spirit, it also subtly expanded the container of his fighting spirit…
This was an extremely powerful function. If this container kept expanding, so-called bottlenecks and even the massive leap to Dou Sage would gradually disappear under such continuous expansion.
Rustle, rustle… As Xiao Yan was astonished by the increasingly abundant fighting spirit in his body, the Bodhi tree began to sway again, seemingly urging him to continue refining the Bodhi seeds.
“Heh, this labor is worth it!” Xiao Yan praised internally, then wasted no time. He once again condensed his different-colored flames and threw another Bodhi seed in. After discovering this benefit, he naturally wouldn’t be stingy with his fighting spirit. Anyway, when his fighting spirit ran out, the Bodhi tree would replenish it and provide a generous bonus.
Driven by such a tempting benefit, the so-called fatigue from refining became a trivial matter. Xiao Yan was now full of enthusiasm.
With his palm as the furnace, the flames furiously released their terrifying heat. At the same time, Xiao Yan’s fighting spirit was disappearing at an astonishing rate. With the Bodhi tree as his source, he could recklessly spend it.
Sizzle… Under this frantic refining, after about an hour, the Bodhi seed transformed into a wisp of clear energy, rising from the flames and finally merging into the green tree. Simultaneously, a trace of black air dissipated…
Rustle, rustle! Sensing the gradual dissipation of the black air, the Bodhi tree emitted waves of excitement, swaying its branches and continuing to inject boundless, pure energy into Xiao Yan’s body. In the blink of an eye, the exhausted Xiao Yan became energetic again.
“Continue.” Sensing his newly replenished and even more robust fighting spirit, Xiao Yan couldn’t help but laugh. Without waiting for the Bodhi tree to urge him, he picked up another Bodhi seed and started refining it again without delay!
In the space filled with green, vibrant life abounded. Here, there was no precise concept of time. As time passed, Xiao Yan only remembered clearly that the Bodhi tree had restored his fighting spirit 28 times. The first batch of Bodhi seeds had been completely refined, but they hadn’t thoroughly removed the negative energy from the Bodhi tree. So, when he saw dozens of Bodhi seeds floating out of the tree again, Xiao Yan remained calm. Having refined so many, these rare treasures that would drive others mad were now common to him.
In simple terms, he had become numb to it.
But refining so many Bodhi seeds had brought him considerable rewards. The amount of fighting spirit in his body was now several times stronger than before…
This process continued, and Xiao Yan did not mention resting. He had already formed a habit: take one, refine one, watch the clear energy merge into the tree, then take another. This cycle repeated endlessly, with no pause.
This cycle lasted for who knew how long. When Xiao Yan extended his hand to pick up another Bodhi seed and found nothing, he realized he had finished refining all the seeds before him. His hand grasped at empty air, and he shook his head. Turning his gaze to the Bodhi tree behind him, he saw another wisp of black air slowly seeping out of the tree, then dissipating into nothingness…
Hum, hum. As this wisp of black air dissipated, the Bodhi tree, which looked like a piece of jade, suddenly emitted a humming sound. Then, a bright green light burst forth, and blinding green rays shot out from the tree, filling the space and making the already rich vitality even more intense.
“Is it completely purified?” Xiao Yan looked at the Bodhi tree. The latter was now greener than before, and the chilling aura had vanished. The current Bodhi tree exuded a sense of peace, holiness, and wisdom…
Rustle, rustle. A branch of the ancient tree slowly extended, touching Xiao Yan’s head. From the branch, Xiao Yan sensed a delighted emotion.
“As long as it’s purified, it’s good…” Xiao Yan smiled and patted the Bodhi tree’s branch. A soul-deep fatigue suddenly arose, causing his eyes to droop. His head gradually lowered. The process of refining the Bodhi seeds had taken a huge toll on him. Although the Bodhi tree could restore his fighting spirit, the fatigue in his soul could not be alleviated. Now that Xiao Yan relaxed, the previously suppressed soul fatigue abruptly appeared, throwing him into a deep sleep.
Hum, hum! Seeing Xiao Yan fall asleep, the Bodhi tree emitted a strange sound. Then, a burst of green light burst forth, like countless tentacles, pulling the seated Xiao Yan towards the tree. Upon contact, ripples spread across the tree, and Xiao Yan slowly merged into the center, sitting motionless like a statue…
Shortly after Xiao Yan was pulled into the Bodhi tree, the tree began to sway again, sending out strange fluctuations. Suddenly, the space here ripped open, and one by one, figures spat out, revealing the people who had entered the Bodhi tree with Xiao Yan, including Xuner and others.
Suddenly appearing in this strange space, everyone’s expressions changed. Some still had traces of shock on their faces, clearly understanding that what they had experienced was an illusion.
“What a terrifying Bodhi tree…” Even strong individuals like Xuner and Soul Jade couldn’t remain composed. Recalling the illusion, they couldn’t help but shiver. If not for this sudden change, they might have spent their lives in the illusion.
As they gradually came to their senses, the shock in their hearts subsided, and they began to examine this strange space brimming with life.
“Bodhi tree?” This space wasn’t large, so their gazes quickly converged on the majestic, jade-like ancient tree standing in the center. Gasps of amazement erupted from some of them. After experiencing the illusion, they had become extremely fearful of the Bodhi tree. There was nothing sadder or more tragic than dying in an illusion.
“Xiao Yan brother?” Xuner and the others’ gazes fixed on the Bodhi tree, but then she saw the lean figure inside the tree. Her face changed dramatically.
“Xiao Yan!” As Xuner’s expression changed, the others also saw this, and their faces followed suit.
“Xuner, don’t be impulsive! This might be a great opportunity for him,” Ancient Qingyang grabbed Xuner and said sternly.
Hearing Ancient Qingyang’s words, Xuner calmed down, recalling the records related to the Bodhi tree. After a moment, she slowly nodded.
According to some ancient texts, the Bodhi tree had three treasures: the Bodhi heart, the Bodhi seed, and enlightenment under the Bodhi tree. The first two were easy to explain—they were parts of the Bodhi tree. But the third one was more elusive.
The Bodhi tree, known as the Wisdom Cycle Tree, was said to have the miraculous power to make people experience a hundred reincarnations. Those who went through such cycles had the potential to reach the Battle King level…
Although this was just a legend, countless strong individuals went mad over this elusive legend—all because of the existence of the supreme realm in the same legend!
