Capítulo 231: Worried About Me? I’d Be Grateful If You Didn’t Cause Trouble!
In the depths of the Ancient Wasteland Region, a massive Bodhi Ancient Tree stood alone at the center of a vast grassland. Majestic, pure energy radiated from it, spreading in all directions, creating a breathtaking scene.
"Where exactly did Brother Gu Fei go?"
"With Brother Gu Fei's speed, he should have been here long ago…"
Xun'er sat cross-legged about a thousand feet away from the enormous Bodhi Ancient Tree trunk. She had maintained this posture for over half a month. Many of those who had broken through the beast tide with her were doing the same. Upon arriving, most had attempted to attack the Bodhi Ancient Tree, aiming to seize the opportunity, but their attacks were too feeble to even scratch its bark. Over time, they grew tired and sat down around the tree, waiting for the treasure to emerge.
Suddenly, the previously silent grassland echoed with a rustling sound.
"There's movement!"
Hearing this, the hundreds of people sitting around the Bodhi Ancient Tree all became excited. After waiting for so long, they believed the tree was finally about to release the Bodhi Heart and seeds.
"Perhaps something delayed Brother Gu Fei…"
"Well then, since that's the case, I will seize the opportunity when the Bodhi Ancient Tree appears and claim the treasures for our clan… When I return with these treasures, everyone in the clan, including Brother Gu Fei, will surely look at me with approval…"
Xun'er's eyes opened, filled with determination. She was confident that she could stand out among the hundreds of people here and claim the treasure. As she pondered, the Bodhi Ancient Tree, which had stood motionless in the center of the grassland for nearly a month, suddenly emitted a dazzling green light. Soon after, several figures were seen emerging from this light in a disheveled manner.
"Huh, why are there people?"
Those around the tree, who had been ready to snatch the treasure, were stunned. The treasure they anticipated did not appear, indicating that someone had beaten them to it.
"Finally out!"
The few surviving members of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan took deep breaths, feeling the fresh air of the grassland. They experienced a sense of relief, like survivors of a great disaster. No one could have imagined the terrifying dangers they had faced in that single month. The horrifying illusions they encountered would likely remain etched in their memories for a long time.
Gu Fei also exhaled lightly. Over this past month, he had undergone the most significant changes. What others perceived as a mere month had, for him, been a journey through a hundred lifetimes of reincarnation. Although this reincarnation training did not instantly elevate his power to an overwhelming level, it subtly implanted something within him that would influence his future.
"Brother Gu Fei…"
Seeing Gu Fei emerge from the Bodhi Ancient Tree, Xun'er's face lit up with excitement. She quickly moved to his side.
"Didn't I tell you not to come?" Gu Fei frowned instinctively upon seeing her, his tone tinged with reproach.
"I… I was worried about you…"
Hearing Gu Fei's reproach, Xun'er lowered her head and softly explained, though inside, she felt a sense of joy. Usually, Gu Fei didn't bother to respond to her. Now, however, he was actually scolding her, which was a significant change.
"Worried about me? I'd be grateful if you didn't cause trouble!"
Gu Fei coldly replied. As a Four-Star Dou Saint, he knew that even if something happened to him, what could Xun'er, at the peak of Dou Venerate, possibly do to help? The thought was laughable.
As the last person was thrown out, the Bodhi Ancient Tree began to tremble violently. Suddenly, a circle of bright green light spread out from its base. As the light spread, the ground seemed to turn into liquid, and the Bodhi Ancient Tree slowly sank into it.
Seeing the Bodhi Ancient Tree retreating underground, many people's expressions changed, their hearts filled with unwillingness. Once the Bodhi Ancient Tree sank into the earth, not even a Dou Saint could find it. This meant that seeing it again would have to wait until its next appearance in ten thousand years.
As the crowd sighed, Gu Fei gently touched his chest, where a jade-like, translucent green heart floated. This was the legendary Bodhi Heart, though Gu Fei had not yet refined it.
"Thank you, Brother Bodhi. I hope we can meet again next time,"
Gu Fei murmured softly, watching as the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree sank deeper into the ground. He felt a slight sense of regret, knowing that the tree had not developed true intelligence. If it had, it would surely have become one of the true peak powerhouses on the Dou Qi Continent.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the Bodhi Ancient Tree finally disappeared beneath the ground. With the last trace of green light fading away, the grassland returned to its empty state.
"They just came out of the Bodhi Ancient Tree- those treasures must be on them. Kill them, and the treasures will be ours!"
"Yeah, let's get them!"
As soon as the Bodhi Ancient Tree vanished, the powerful fighters on the continent who had been waiting outside shifted their focus to Gu Fei and the members of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, as they were the ones who had just emerged from the tree. A murderous intent began to fill the air.
"You all have a lot of nerve!" Xun'er shouted coldly, seeing this.
"If you want the treasure, just go after him. He took all the Bodhi Seeds and even the legendary Bodhi Heart!"
Seeing the situation, Jiu Feng instinctively pointed at Gu Fei. He feared Gu Fei would seek revenge later and wanted to use the crowd to delay him, giving his Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan members time to escape.
After his words, the once-quiet grassland was filled with the sound of space tearing. The crowd looked over, only to see the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan members attempting to flee through the void.
"Heh, you think you can escape under my nose? Jiu Feng, you're not qualified!"
Gu Fei sneered, extending his hand and lightly grasping in Jiu Feng's direction. In an instant, Jiu Feng's body was crushed under immense pressure, exploding into pieces.
A peak Nine Change Dou Venerate, on the verge of becoming a Half-Saint, was killed so effortlessly. The onlookers who had planned to make a move all recoiled. Trying to steal treasure from such a terrifying powerhouse- what was the difference between that and courting death?
