Reaching the pinnacle from Doupo

Chapter 440 The Secret of the Ancient Bodhi Tree
The ancient Bodhi tree, also known as the Wisdom and Reincarnation Tree, grows once every thousand years and is considered mature only when it has a hundred growth cycles.

In other words, the minimum age of a mature ancient Bodhi tree is over 100,000 years old.

One hundred thousand years ago, that was an era even older and more desolate than the ancient times. Even the earliest Dou Di recorded today was born long after that time.

Such a long period of time is enough for time to corrode anything.

But the ancient Bodhi tree seems to be beyond time. It has stood proudly since the beginning of history until today.

In the entire Douqi Continent, from ancient times to the present, there is only one mature ancient Bodhi tree. It has some wisdom and appears once every thousand years. Every time it appears, it hides deep in the earth, making it impossible for anyone to find it.

In ancient times, there was an extremely powerful ancient clan that came up with an interesting idea - trying to use Bodhicitta as a seed to cultivate a new ancient Bodhi tree.

However, before the new Bodhi tree had grown to ten rings, the powerful ancient clan lineage declined and disappeared in the ancient war.

The ancient Bodhi tree has existed almost throughout the history of the Douqi Continent and has existed since the era when the source energy was abundant.

In this case, even if it stored some source energy, Lin Yuan would not feel strange at all... Could it be that those semi-emperor warriors who had no hope of breaking through did not explore the secrets of the ancient Bodhi tree during that long period of time?
With this curiosity, Lin Yuan asked this curious question, and then looked at Zhu Kun and the Pure Lotus Demon Saint, waiting for them to answer his questions.

Out of interest, he read many ancient books that recorded history.

The relatively detailed history that can be seen in those records is the history of the last few thousand years. As for the history of the Zhu Kun era and the Pure Lotus Demon Saint era, they are only fragmentary and vague.

Now, with two living history books before our eyes, we must not waste the opportunity to answer our questions about ancient times.

"Yuan Qi, you even know this?"

When Zhu Kun heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and there was a bit more surprise in his scrutinizing gaze.

Lin Yuan smiled and said half-truthfully, "There is an old ancestor in our Danta who was one of the five strongest masters a thousand years ago. He was at the same half-emperor realm as the two of you. When I accepted the inheritance, I saw his residual soul and got a lot of information."

"I see." Zhu Kun glanced sideways and said teasingly, "However, you may not be very strong, but you are quite courageous... You dare to have ideas about that person."

"Uncle, you're too kind. I'm just curious." Lin Yuan waved his hand and quickly denied it.

"That's good!" Zhu Kun nodded slightly, his expression instantly becoming serious, "I can answer this question for you, but I also have to give you a warning!"

"Kid, remember... no matter what, you must not attack the ancient Bodhi tree."

"My ancient dragon ancestors left a warning that the ancient Bodhi tree is extremely special. It is a spiritual creature blessed by heaven and earth. Anyone who attacks it will be punished by heaven! In ancient times, there were semi-emperors and even Dou emperors who attacked it, and they all died in the end."

"There have been more than one Dou Emperor who wanted to attack the ancient Bodhi tree. However, they were all killed by various 'coincidences'."

"As for the half-emperor who tried to attack the ancient Bodhi tree, he was killed by its instinctive counterattack."

“Although the ancient Bodhi tree is not a Dou Emperor, its essence is not inferior to that of a Dou Emperor. It is similar to the Greatly Accomplished Supreme Dragon and Phoenix, and is close to another kind of enlightenment. It is far from being inferior to a Dou Emperor.”

"To attack him is simply courting death for anyone below the Dou Emperor level."

"Although the ancient Bodhi tree does not have complete wisdom, it has a strong ability to perceive evil thoughts. Anyone who has ill intentions towards it... will definitely not escape its perception." "If you want to compete for the opportunity to obtain Bodhi, don't have evil thoughts that you shouldn't have!"

After a short pause, Zhu Kun turned his head and glanced at Zi Yan who was about to wake up not far away, and warned in a low voice: "Tsk, don't seek death. It's a small matter if you die, but if you make my precious daughter sad... that would be a huge sin!"

Zhu Kun has seen how deep Zi Yan's feelings for this boy are in the past few days.

He understood that if this boy died because of the ancient Bodhi tree, his daughter's heart would probably be half dead, and she would even fight to the death with the mysterious ancient Bodhi tree... That would be too dangerous.

As a father, he would never allow such a thing.

On the side, the Pure Lotus Demon Saint also nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "What the Dragon Emperor said is similar to what I know, but I will add the perspective of the human race!"

"Although the ancient Bodhi tree has no complete consciousness, many powerful people owe it favors."

"The Three Treasures of Bodhi - Bodhi Heart, Bodhi Seed, and Enlightenment under a Bodhi Tree. The first two can help others break through to Dou Sheng, and the third can allow people to experience hundreds of reincarnations, greatly improving the power of the soul, and greatly improving the potential of the reincarnated people."

"To obtain the Three Treasures, one generally has to go through extremely fierce competition. Therefore, those who use the Three Treasures of Bodhi are mostly strong."

"After using the Three Treasures of Bodhi, many people have achieved extraordinary success."

Speaking of this, his eyes became deep, as if he had penetrated the mist of time and returned to an era when strong men emerged in large numbers.

"Among those who have experienced the reincarnation of enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, several are Doudi strongmen from ancient times. This is also the source of the saying that 'those who have experienced the reincarnation experience have the potential to become Doudi'."

"With the help of the Three Bodhi Treasures, countless people have achieved the status of Dou Sheng... Among them, there are many strong people who are grateful to the ancient Bodhi tree."

"There are many powerful people who also hope to use the opportunity of Bodhi to change their fate for themselves and their descendants."

"The ancient Bodhi tree has both the mysterious cause and effect of heaven and earth and the extremely deep cause and effect of human relationships. It is a public interest recognized by many forces... If you want to monopolize it, you will definitely incur the wrath of the public and become the target of public criticism."

The Pure Lotus Demon Saint stared at Lin Yuan and said meaningfully: "In my time, this was the situation; and now, I think it should be similar."

No matter how the situation changes, human choices in the struggle for interests are ultimately difficult to change.

It was so ten thousand years ago, and it will be so ten thousand years later.

"The current situation is exactly as you said!" Lin Yuan nodded slightly, confirming what the Pure Lotus Demon Saint said. After thinking for a moment, he clasped his fists and saluted to Zhu Kun and the Pure Lotus Demon Saint, and said seriously: "This matter... I understand it. Thank you for your teachings."

Suddenly, he seemed to realize something and looked at the Pure Lotus Demon Saint intently, "Senior Demon Saint, you seem to be very familiar with the ancient Bodhi tree? Could it be that you have also obtained the opportunity to attain Bodhi?"

There seems to be no information recording that reincarnation through hundreds of lives can greatly enhance the power of the soul.

"Did you notice it?"

The Pure Lotus Demon Saint smiled slightly and said calmly: "Yes, I did experience enlightenment under the Bodhi tree..."
