My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 789 Bodhi Ancient Hell (Tendon Rupture, Updated Late)
"You look at the scene that suddenly happened in front of you. The shock and confusion in your heart are hard to describe in words. You don't understand why this scene happened, but your intuition tells you that this is not a bad thing, but another great opportunity you have encountered. Do you want to carefully observe the ancient Bodhi tree behind you that is protecting you?"

Jiang Xinghuo's heart moved, but after seeing the description of the game text, he finally put his mind at ease.

Since it is an opportunity that belongs to you, if you don't take it, you will be blamed. If you don't take it into your own hands, it will be a sin.

"You walked to the ancient Bodhi tree and placed your hand on the trunk. Countless bizarre scenes immediately flashed before your eyes. The last frozen image was a king beating Tu Bo's body into pieces of blood and flesh, and forcibly taking something from his body."

As the text flashed in the game, Jiang Xinghuo seemed to have hallucinations in reality, and saw the battle between Emperor Xuanyuan and Tu Bo. The special effects of any movie could not compare to it, and it also made Jiang Xinghuo see what a truly invincible strong man is.

Emperor Xuanyuan was wearing armor and holding the magic sword Xuanyuan. He beat Tu Bo so hard that he roared in anger. It could almost be said that he was suppressing Tu Bo.

And in the sky behind Tu Bo, there were several figures floating vaguely. When Jiang Xinghuo looked over there, he immediately knew the identities of those people in his mind.

“The True Lord of Mountains and Rivers, the Goddess of Heaven, the True Lord of Ten Thousand Temples, the Immortal Master of Fortune and Destiny…”

Those who were watching the battle were actually ancient and powerful beings like Tu Bo.

But at this moment, they all just stood by and watched, unwilling to join the battle between Tu Bo and Emperor Xuanyuan, or rather, they did not dare to join the battle of Emperor Xuanyuan.

Although he was in a fantasy world at the moment, he could clearly feel the fear and dread in those people's hearts.

Jiang Xinghuo turned his gaze to the tall figure holding the huge bronze sword, with his black hair flying wildly, and every sword strike contained supreme power, but the only thing he couldn't see clearly was his face.

Just when Jiang Xinghuo was about to continue his in-depth research and observation, the illusion in front of him suddenly shattered, but then a new illusion appeared.

In this scene, Jiang Xinghuo saw Emperor Xuanyuan's bronze sword piercing through Tu Bo's chest, then he reached into his body and took out something that looked like an internal organ. Then Emperor Xuanyuan threw his hand away, and the object that looked like an internal organ immediately evolved into a scorched earth hell. A tall figure with red hair, fangs, and flames in his mouth appeared and occupied the center of this hell.

Immediately afterwards, the third picture appeared in front of Jiang Xinghuo's eyes. This picture was still the scorched earth hell, but in this scorched earth hell with flames bursting out, something completely different appeared.

Ancient Bodhi tree.

A lush green Bodhi tree takes root in the dry and cracked earth where lava flows, emitting clear and bright light. Under the protection of the Bodhi tree's clear light, there is a mysterious pure land, which is immune to all evil and undisturbed by all things, and all flames and hungry ghosts are kept out.

Jiang Xinghuo could see clearly that the ancient Bodhi tree was the charred tree behind him, but the tree behind him had been burnt by fire, and only the green branches on it represented the tree's former magic.

The picture also stopped abruptly.

Three pictures describe the origin of this ancient Bodhi tree.

Jiang Xinghuo did not expect that Emperor Xuanyuan would be so brave. Not only did he kill Tu Bo and make him flee in disarray, but even the other ancient powerful men did not dare to challenge him.

If those ancient powerful men could defeat Emperor Xuanyuan by joining forces, then they would definitely not sit idly by when Tu Bo was killed by Emperor Xuanyuan alone. Even though their positions were different, they were the same kind of people after all, and it was unlikely that they would sit idly by and watch others being killed.

The only explanation is that those ancient powerful beings are very clear about Emperor Xuanyuan's strength, and they know that even if they join forces to attack Emperor Xuanyuan, they will not be his opponent.

After the three pictures disappeared, Jiang Xinghuo looked at the phone screen again and checked the text content on it.

"You have obtained the origin of the Bodhi Ancient Hell."

"The Ancient Bodhi Hell is a cave of hell created by Tubo, an ancient powerful man in the secular world. It is a collection of the essence of the Buddhist teachings of several civilizations. Only creatures trapped in this hell who truly recognize Tubo and are willing to become his slaves and followers will be blessed by the Buddha's light of the Ancient Bodhi Tree. Otherwise, they will suffer the torture of being burned by flames for eternity."

"Later, Tubo's Bodhi Ancient Hell was forcibly taken away by Emperor Xuanyuan. As long as someone can obtain the origin of this hell, even Tubo will not be able to take it back."

"Moreover, Emperor Xuanyuan also wiped out the remaining Tubo aura. Even if Tubo is in front of you, as long as you don't take the initiative to expose it, Tubo will not be able to sense the existence of the Bodhi Ancient Hell."

Jiang Xinghuo suddenly realized that this was the origin of the Bodhi Ancient Hell. As long as he could refine it, it would mean that he would have control over the ownership of the Bodhi Ancient Hell.

"Is this the reward for passing the test?"

Jiang Xinghuo couldn't help but ponder it in his heart.

The game text has always been advising me, explicitly or implicitly, not to continue exploring deeper into the Xuanyuan Emperor's Mausoleum. If I had really retreated or left here at that time, I would definitely not have the chance to enter this Bodhi Ancient Hell. However, I still went deep into the Emperor's Mausoleum to explore without hesitation. Perhaps this was also a test for myself.

According to the rules of the Xuanyuan Emperor's Mausoleum, as long as you pass a test, you will receive corresponding rewards.

This ancient Bodhi hell should be my reward.

After figuring this out, Jiang Xinghuo suddenly felt happy and was glad for his choice. If he had not chosen to move forward but retreated at the critical moment, then such a thing would never have fallen into his hands.

Afterwards, Jiang Xinghuo flipped forward through the text content again, trying to continue asking for more benefits, but in the end, no new interactions were triggered. There were only two options for the next interaction.

Do you want to refine the ancient Bodhi tree?

If you choose yes, you can get the origin of Bodhi Ancient Hell. If you choose no, you will probably miss this plot.

As for what kind of interactive choices will appear later, Jiang Xinghuo cannot know it now.

But Jiang Xinghuo is very clear about which one to choose now. These are benefits that come to your doorstep, so there is no reason to reject them.

"You chose to refine the origin of the Bodhi Ancient Hell."

"Excuse me, do you want to refine it with your original body?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought about it, and finally summoned the clone of the nuclear energy gene chain. Compared with the description of this ancient Bodhi hell, this nuclear energy clone is more suitable for refining this ancient Bodhi tree.

"You summoned the clone of the nuclear energy gene chain." "You chose to use the nuclear energy clone as the host for refining the Bodhi Ancient Hell."

"It is being refined, please wait..."

Jiang Xinghuo waited for about half an hour, and the refining prompt information came out from the game text.

"You have successfully refined the origin of the Bodhi Ancient Hell."

"You have successfully mastered the Bodhi Ancient Hell (1%)."

"Be careful. When the civilization era was destroyed, the Ancient Bodhi Hell suffered serious damage. Now its power is only one tenth of what it is. You need to slowly repair it before you can restore the power of the Ancient Bodhi Hell again."

"As long as you continue to exercise the power of hell, you can quickly restore the power of Bodhi Ancient Hell."

Jiang Xinghuo had already been prepared for the fact that the Ancient Bodhi Hell was in ruins and damage. After all, this was something passed down from the previous civilization. After experiencing the destruction of the era, it was impossible for it to be as intact as before.

Jiang Xinghuo clicked on the text, took the nuclear energy cicada shell clone back into his body, and then summoned the clone out in reality.

The nuclear clone is transformed through the metamorphosis of the Nine-Death Cicada. It can be taken into his body at any time, and can also be differentiated from the body at any time.

Moreover, the abilities possessed by the nuclear clone and the infinite clone can be mobilized and used at any time as long as the two clones are integrated into the main body, without any sense of unfamiliarity or sluggishness.

Jiang Xinghuo transferred his consciousness into the body of his nuclear clone and awakened the dormant ancient Bodhi tree. In an instant, time and space changed, and the scorched earth hell described in the game text suddenly appeared in reality, presenting a semi-illusory projection state, merging and overlapping with the real space. Only the charred ancient Bodhi tree emitted bursts of clear light behind it, which was very similar to the power of the Sun and Moon Nectar Mantra.

However, although the scorched earth hell is presented in an illusory form, the reality depends only on Jiang Xinghuo's thoughts. It can be illusory or real as before. Any living creature trapped in it will be burned and baked by hell.

Jiang Xinghuo experienced it, and took the ancient Bodhi tree behind him back into his body, and his consciousness also returned to his body.

Only one tenth of the power of this scorched earth hell remains. With only the tip of the iceberg shown now, it is impossible to tap into the true power of this hell. We can only wait and wait to slowly repair it in the future.

So far, including the several hell caves found in Rakshasa City, plus this newly acquired ancient Bodhi Hell, and the underworld hell that he already had, it is enough to evolve into the thirty-six hells corresponding to the heavenly palace.

However, he has not had time to deal with these matters. He plans to wait until the task at hand is completed, and then find time to build these hells when he goes to explore other places.

More importantly, he wanted to see if there were any hidden treasures in the Xuanyuan Emperor's Mausoleum, especially the method used by Emperor Xuanyuan to seize the Bodhi Ancient Hell. Jiang Xinghuo was still very envious. If he could get this method, he could separate the Volcano Hell from the underworld and get rid of it completely...

Thinking of this, Jiang Xinghuo suddenly shuddered in his heart. How could he have forgotten this? !
Emperor Yin!
If he remembered correctly, the owner of this signpost in the underworld seemed to be called Yin Tianzi?

Emperor Yin and Lord Taishan fought each other for countless years to fight for the power over life and death, and Lord Taishan was almost killed by Emperor Yin.

So is Emperor Xuanyuan’s incarnation, Prince Yin, the one from the underworld?
Is it a coincidence?
Or……

Jiang Xinghuo felt cold all over.

He shouldn't have forgotten this, but why did he subconsciously ignore it? It was not until he completely merged with the Bodhi Ancient Hell that he suddenly remembered this information.

It was as if there was some force influencing his thinking, causing him to subconsciously ignore the matter.

Jiang Xinghuo continued to push the text with a grim expression. Things had developed to this point. No matter whether it was the Yin Emperor in the underworld or not, he had to find the emperor's corpse buried here. Perhaps only in this way could he know the truth.

"Do you want to continue to persevere?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes without hesitation.

“You chose to move on.”

"You have once again passed the test left by Emperor Xuanyuan. If you choose to go deeper, then what you will face next will be the true heart of the Xuanyuan Emperor's Mausoleum. There may be the body of Emperor Xuanyuan buried there, or perhaps some other unspeakable things."

"Do you really want to keep going?"

Jiang Xinghuo ignored the prompts in the game text and resolutely controlled the character to walk deep into the imperial tomb.

"You have come to the deepest part of the Xuanyuan Emperor's Mausoleum."

"You found an island in the middle of the lake ahead. On the island was a bronze coffin, and there were no other items."

"But this island is surrounded by a huge lake that is as dark as ink. If you want to reach the island smoothly, you must pass through this dark lake."

"You stand by the lake, carefully sensing the breath beneath the water, and unexpectedly discover that this dark lake is very similar to the ghost lake where the master of the Cemetery Forest hides. The breath beneath is filled with death and coldness. If you don't have a suitable boat, you will be killed by the evil ghosts lurking underwater as soon as you enter the water if you cross the river with your flesh and blood."

Looking at this game text, Jiang Xinghuo opened his backpack panel and began to rummage through it carefully.

He actually has a few boat props now, but he doesn't know if they are suitable for the current ghost lake. So he might as well give it a try. To be on the safe side, Jiang Xinghuo also specially found the land dragon boat. This was something left behind by the Lord of the Secular World. In terms of status, it is no different from what was left behind by Emperor Xuanyuan. There is no question of which is higher or lower. Perhaps he can really pass through this ghost lake smoothly.

If that doesn't work, it won't be too late to think of other solutions then.

"You took out the land dragon boat."

"You put the dry land dragon boat into the Ghost Lake, and used the power of the dragon-raising technique to transform it into a huge dragon boat. The aura of the Lord of the Secular World permeated the hull. Although the waves were rolling under the Ghost Lake, and pale and decayed figures could be vaguely seen, they did not dare to approach the dry land dragon boat. They could only hide underwater and look at you with resentful eyes."
