Capítulo 509: Chapter 508: How About Ten or Eight More?

After hearing Xiao Ming's explanation and having their memories restored, Qing Lin and Zi Yan didn't have many doubts. However, a hint of fear remained in their eyes.

The illusion created by the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree had simply been too realistic. It was hard to imagine that they would still be trapped even with their current strength.

It was at this moment that a light cluster, approximately three meters in size, resembling an energy heart, drifted out from the swaying Bodhisattva Ancient Tree. An outstretched branch carried this light cluster close to Xiao Ming before presenting it to him.

"The Bodhisattva Heart, a heavenly treasure that legend says can make one a Saint immediately!"

Zi Yan exclaimed as soon as she saw it. Her treasure-hunting talent was tingling, and her intuition told her that it must be something delicious!

Qing Lin also came to Xiao Ming's side, her eyes filled with curiosity. The outside world had described the Bodhisattva Heart in mythical terms. Now that she could see it up close, she was naturally eager to discover what made it so extraordinary.

Xiao Ming, for his part, didn't examine it in detail. It wasn't the first time he had seen a Bodhisattva Heart. He owed his breakthrough to the Dou Saint realm to the Bodhisattva Heart he had extracted from the Simulator.

After a brief examination, Xiao Ming thanked the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree and reached out to touch the light cluster that was now within reach.

The Bodhisattva Heart glowed brightly for a moment before gradually dissolving into an invisible form. This was because Xiao Ming had already stored it away.

After that, Xiao Ming noticed Zi Yan's expectant, blinking eyes and chuckled.

"I can't let you eat this Bodhisattva Heart, I'm saving it for a good cause. If you want one, I can inquire about obtaining more on your behalf."

Xiao Ming then turned to the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree and rubbed his hands with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

"Senior, as you can see, there are three of us here. Isn't one Bodhisattva Heart a little insufficient? Could you perhaps bestow upon us... how about ten or eight more?"

Bodhisattva Ancient Tree: ???

In an apparent state of shock, even the clear air above the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree stopped swaying for a moment.

Qing Lin, who was nearby, noticed Xiao Ming's embarrassed expression and couldn't help but stifle a giggle with her slender, jade-like hand.

Her husband was truly mischievous; sometimes he liked to tease her and her sisters, and now even the ancient tree was not spared. But wouldn't the Ancient Bodhisattva Tree be offended by his words?

With these thoughts in her mind, Qing Lin looked at the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree and then back at Xiao Ming, secretly preparing her Dou Qi in case the ancient tree suddenly turned hostile.

Zi Yan was also slightly worried because the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree's strength was truly formidable, and she suspected that it might even be stronger than her father.

However, she knew that Xiao Ming would not deliberately provoke such a powerful entity. There was probably some security behind his current action. So while she was worried, she was also looking forward to getting a taste of the Bodhisattva Heart.

"Senior?"

Looking at the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree that seemed to have fallen into a state of shock, Xiao Ming took a few steps forward, grabbed a branch, and gently shook it, reasoning with it.

"Senior, your strength is incomparable, and these Bodhisattva Hearts won't be of much use to you. How about you give me a few, and I'll introduce you to a kindred spirit later..."

He spoke several times and the ancient tree seemed to be shaken awake and then moved by his words.

After the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree fell silent for a moment, the entire tree swayed. Soon after, five emerald lights flew out of its body and surrounded Xiao Ming, emitting a green glow.

Seeing these five light clusters, a hint of joy appeared in the corner of Xiao Ming's eyes. He knew that the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree had existed for countless years and possessed more than one Bodhisattva Heart.

It made sense when one thought about it. The Bodhisattva Ancient Tree had not appeared for many years, and even when it did, not everyone could obtain a Bodhisattva Heart from it. Over time, the Bodhisattva Hearts must have piled up, perhaps not a hundred, but at least dozens.

For the ancient tree, these five might not be much, but Xiao Ming had no intention of asking for more. As the saying goes, "Don't overdo it; occasional mischief is fine, but too much of it will annoy people."

Although Xiao Ming didn't intend to ask for more and was about to express his gratitude, the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree, seeing him open his mouth, mistakenly thought he was going to mention that the amount of Bodhisattva Hearts was not enough.

Before Xiao Ming could say anything, an emerald branch swiftly tapped him on the head. With this gentle tap, his consciousness was immediately drawn into the cycle of reincarnation.

"Young Master!"

Qing Lin let out a cry of alarm, her delicate waist twisting as she tried to approach him. However, she was blocked by an invisible force.

Several attempts to get closer, even using her Dou Qi, were in vain. She couldn't break through the barrier.

Zi Yan was startled and wanted to rush to Xiao Ming's side as well, and thanks to the Ancient Void Dragon's spatial ability, she was able to do so.

But just as she realized that Xiao Ming was only unconscious and was about to inform Qing Lin, a branch moved with unparalleled speed and gently touched her head.

Zi Yan then collapsed onto Xiao Ming's chest and lost consciousness under Qing Lin's gaze.

Qing Lin also fell to the ground a fraction of a second later, her mesmerizing eyes that contained her Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils losing their luster.

The girl's consciousness was drawn out by the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree and placed into Xiao Ming's cycle of reincarnation...

The branches of the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree swayed, wrapping around Xiao Ming's waist and pulling him towards its green tree-like body. A cushion-like structure woven from the branches floated over and placed him on it.

As for Zi Yan and Qing Lin, they were both nestled in Xiao Ming's arms, forming a left and right embrace.

The green tree trunk swayed, creating waves that pulled Xiao Ming and the two girls inside. A sense of sanctity and wisdom emanated from the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree.

This space became completely silent after doing this. The only sound that could be heard was the rustling of the tree leaves as they swayed.

Bodhisattva Ancient Tree: It was so noisy a moment ago, but now it's finally quiet...

...

While this space gradually became calm, the outside world was anything but. The moment the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree expelled the Dou God's resentment, that vast and pure clear air truly spread throughout the entire Ancient Wasteland Region.

Even beyond the Ancient Wasteland Region, one could sense this extraordinary ripple. People with some knowledge would understand the profound meaning behind it.

Bodhisattva Ancient Tree, becoming a Saint immediately!

What an extraordinary effect! It evoked such a longing in people's hearts. It was strong enough to suppress their fear of death.

In no time, those who hadn't yet arrived at the Ancient Wasteland Region were rushing frantically towards it, while those already within the region made their way to the Ancient Region Stage in madness.

As for those closest to the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree who had already reached the Ancient Region Stage, they gathered at the edge of the beast tide.

At the periphery of the beast tide, powerful figures and veterans gathered. However, subtly taking the lead were the young talents from the Ancient Clans.
