Chương 228: The Bodhi Ancient Tree’s Plea for Help! Acquiring the Bodhi Heart!
This tree was completely emerald green, as if it were sculpted from the finest jade. It was identical to the enormous Bodhi Ancient Tree from the outside world, except it was reduced in size countless times.
Under Gu Fei's gaze, the fully green Bodhi Ancient Tree trembled slightly, and orbs of light floated out from its body.
The orbs transformed, revealing various scenes inside them! These were the images of Hun Yu, Jiu Feng, Feng Qing'er, and the others who had entered the Bodhi Ancient Tree alongside Gu Fei. Evidently, they were all trapped in their own illusions, unable to break free.
At this moment, Hun Yu was experiencing the pleasure of stepping on another member of the Hun Clan with divine bloodline, Hun Feng, and finally becoming the clan leader.
Jiu Feng, similarly, was immersed in a fantasy where he had inherited the title of leader of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan and had become one of the few Nine-Star Dou Saint peak experts in the world, basking in satisfaction.
"This illusion is indeed powerful. Luckily, I'm carrying a Bodhi Seed with me..." Gu Fei sighed inwardly.
Suddenly, the Bodhi Ancient Tree shook again, releasing another orb of light. Inside the orb was an enormous Bodhi Ancient Tree towering thousands of feet tall. In the sky above, a black-clad figure stood.
An aura of supreme power emanated from this figure, spreading throughout the heavens and earth.
"A Dou God…"
At this moment, Gu Fei's eyes were fixed intently on the black-clad figure's back. This feeling... no one other than the legendary Dou God, a supreme being, could possess such a presence.
In the orb of light, the black figure began to attack the Bodhi Ancient Tree. The tree responded by releasing a terrifying energy that filled the sky. The battle between them was so intense that even the world around them collapsed.
For a moment, Gu Fei was deeply shaken by what he saw.
The scene in the orb accelerated, pausing at the final image. The black figure was suddenly struck by a devastating force that came from outside the orb, violently obliterating him.
"Gasp…"
Witnessing the black figure being reduced to nothing, Gu Fei's heart skipped a beat.
Clearly, the sudden attack must have come from another Dou God expert, one whose power was equal to that of the black-clad Dou God. Together with the Bodhi Ancient Tree, they were able to destroy him.
"That's the power of a Dou God!"
Gu Fei's eyelids twitched. These beings, who were almost mythical, had now appeared before him. Although these were mere projections, the unique aura of absolute supremacy still made one's soul tremble.
After the fall of the black-clad Dou God, wisps of dark energy began to emerge from the void. As soon as these energy currents appeared, they rushed into the Bodhi Ancient Tree. As the dark energy merged with the tree, its clear aura became subtly tainted with a hidden coldness.
This Bodhi Ancient Tree had existed since ancient times, but after countless years, it had yet to gain complete intelligence. The more inherently powerful a creature was, the harder it was for it to evolve and gain sentience.
For example, in the original work, the Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning in the Void Lightning Pool, which was equivalent to a Seven-Star Dou Saint, almost lost its life while undergoing the Lightning Tribulation to evolve into a sentient being.
When the black-clad Dou God fell, some of his negative emotions gathered and invaded the Bodhi Ancient Tree. Over the endless passage of time, these emotions gradually eroded the tree. This was why the Bodhi Ancient Tree's simple intelligence had started to lean towards darkness and coldness.
In other words, the Bodhi Ancient Tree was influenced by the negative emotions of that Dou God expert. The illusions they encountered were automatically generated by these evil emotions. Throughout the years, countless powerful individuals had been lost in these illusions.
Currently, the Bodhi Ancient Tree possessed two intelligences—one was its original, benign intelligence, and the other, an evil intelligence influenced by the black-clad Dou God's negative emotions.
"You want me to help you drive out that evil intelligence, don't you?" Gu Fei calmly asked as he gazed at the emerald tree in front of him.
Evidently, the Bodhi Ancient Tree had sensed that Gu Fei possessed a Heavenly Flame.
*Rustle!*
In response to Gu Fei's words, the tree began to sway as though nodding.
*Rustle...*
As soon as Gu Fei spoke, another orb emerged from the tree. Within it, a flame appeared, followed by a Bodhi Seed. The flame refined the Bodhi Seed, releasing a stream of pure energy, which then flowed into the tree.
"I can help you…" Gu Fei responded with a smile.
The next moment, green specks of light floated out of the Bodhi Ancient Tree and hovered in front of Gu Fei. These specks were all Bodhi Seeds. Although Bodhi Seeds weren't as fearsome as the Bodhi Heart, they could still be refined into pills to significantly increase the success rate of advancing to a Half-Saint.
"How extravagant… using so many Bodhi Seeds just to cleanse evil thoughts. I bet countless people across the continent would call this a waste…" Gu Fei chuckled as he observed the vast amount of Bodhi Seeds. Then, with a thought, his Heavenly Flame rose, enveloping one of the seeds.
This refining process lasted for about ten minutes, and the Bodhi Seed slowly melted into a crystal-clear liquid. The liquid evaporated, transforming into a wisp of pure, slightly green energy.
As this wisp of energy entered the tree, the Bodhi Ancient Tree trembled, and a thin strand of black mist seeped out.
Over the next few hours, Gu Fei continued refining Bodhi Seeds.
*Rustle!*
As the final wisp of black mist was expelled, the Bodhi Ancient Tree, now as green as jade, emitted a humming sound. The vibrant green light it radiated grew even brighter, filling the space with an even more abundant life force.
"Is it completely purified now?" Gu Fei asked as he observed the Bodhi Ancient Tree.
At this moment, the tree seemed even greener than before, exuding an aura of peace, divinity, and wisdom.
*Hum!*
The tree swayed its branches in a manner resembling a human bowing in gratitude.
"I've helped you a great deal- how do you plan to repay me?" Gu Fei suddenly asked, not hiding his intentions.
*Hum!*
Understanding his words, the Bodhi Ancient Tree shook its branches again.
Then, countless branches surrounded Gu Fei, and a strange, glowing green heart appeared before him, beating rhythmically.
