Chapter 540 The Ruins Collapse!

"Let's go! Let's go and take a look!"

Lu Chuan nodded.

If this Bodhi tree is truly as precious as Xiao Qiqi says, then they certainly cannot miss it.

Rather than leaving the Bodhi tree hidden in the shadows, it would be better to remove it from the ruins.

Led by Ji Ruxue, the three continued deeper into the ruins and soon arrived at a plaza in the center of the ruins.

This place is extremely spacious, much like the plaza outside the ruins. The ground is paved with white jade bricks, and the whole area is circular.

Upon arriving at the square, all three of them were drawn to an altar in the circular plaza.

The tall altar, covered with golden array patterns, stands like a small mountain in the center of the square.

"Hey, isn't this altar almost exactly the same as the one we teleported here from before?!"
How did an altar suddenly appear here?

Zhao Lin looked at the three-tiered altar in front of her and said with some surprise.

"That's right, they're almost identical. I suppose we'll need the power of this altar to get out!"

Lu Chuan nodded, pondered for a moment, and then responded.

“Let’s go! Let’s go deeper.” Then, Lu Chuan looked at the two of them.

The two nodded.

The three of them then bypassed the altar and continued forward. Before long, they arrived at the latter part of the ruins.

This is also where the medicinal garden of the entire ruins is located.

Before them lay a vast medicinal garden, stretching as far as the eye could see. The ground was covered with patches of white jade bricks and a large amount of spiritual soil, roughly the size of half a basketball court, evenly distributed throughout the garden.

"What a pity! So much time has passed, and almost all the medicinal herbs in these herb gardens have withered and died."

Looking at the barren medicinal herb gardens in front of him, Lu Chuan shook his head helplessly, feeling heartbroken.

"The Bodhi Tree!"

Just then, Ji Ruxue exclaimed in surprise, and then took a step and ran quickly towards the center of the herb garden. Zhao Lin, who was beside her, reacted and followed closely behind.

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan's attention was also drawn, and he looked over.

The next moment, Lu Chuan vaguely saw a plant emitting golden spiritual light in the center of the herb garden, within a patch of herbs.

"Is this the Bodhi Tree?"

Lu Chuan walked over quickly and was somewhat surprised after seeing the Bodhi Tree clearly.

The sacred Bodhi tree was about two zhang tall and as thick as an arm. Its surface was golden, its branches were gnarled and twisted, and it was full of vitality. Its round, golden leaves trembled slightly.

At this moment, golden halos, accompanied by an invisible force, radiated outwards from the Bodhi Tree.

In addition, Lu Chuan also noticed that the surface of the medicinal garden where the Bodhi sacred tree grew was engraved with layers of dense, mysterious golden array patterns.

Furthermore, these array patterns, relying on the white jade bricks on the surface of the herb garden, clearly spread outwards, just like chains connecting the surrounding herb gardens.

However, the further outward these golden patterns extend, the fainter they become.

Visibly, faint energy was flowing along the interconnected array patterns from these barren herb gardens towards the herb garden where the Bodhi Sacred Tree grew. Lu Chuan glanced at it and roughly understood why this Bodhi Sacred Tree had been able to hold on until now.

It is likely that the energy accumulated in the surrounding herb gardens, as well as the possibly stored spiritual herbs, have been continuously supplying energy to the Bodhi Tree to maintain its vitality over this long period of time.

This is the key to the Bodhi Tree's ability to survive until now.

Fortunately, they came this time. Otherwise, given the current state of the medicinal garden, the Bodhi Tree would probably dry up and die soon without being able to absorb any more energy.

Lu Chuan slowly walked towards Ji Ruxue and Zhao Lin.

However, at this moment, Ji Ruxue was sitting cross-legged in front of the Bodhi Tree, seemingly in a state of enlightenment, with the power of law faintly flowing around her.

Zhao Lin stood guard beside her, looking at the motionless Ji Ruxue with some concern.

"what happened?"

Upon getting closer, Lu Chuan noticed Ji Ruxue's condition, frowned, and looked at Zhao Lin beside her.

It's not that enlightenment is bad, it's just that now is clearly not the time for enlightenment. Why is Xiao Qiqi sitting down in front of the Bodhi tree?
"As Qiqi just said, the Bodhi Tree is a spirit, and it's not easy to take it away. You have to gain its approval. Qiqi is trying now," Zhao Lin replied helplessly.

She didn't really want Qiqi to try to comprehend this Bodhi Tree, because if something unexpected happened, it would be terrible.

However, she couldn't actually stop Xiao Qiqi from walking up to the Bodhi tree, sitting down cross-legged, and contemplating its wisdom.

Hearing this, Lu Chuan was speechless. However, seeing that Xiao Qiqi was already in the zone, he didn't want to disturb her. In the end, he could only follow Zhao Lin's example and squat down to keep watch to ensure Xiao Qiqi's safety.

At this moment, Ji Ruxue was immersed in the ocean of Tao and reason, and her entire vision was filled with golden spiritual light.

Ji Ruxue focused intently, continuously spreading her own power of law outwards, striving to resonate with the power of law emanating from the Bodhi Sacred Tree.

Only when both parties resonate with each other will she have a chance to gain the Bodhi Tree's approval and successfully take the Bodhi Tree away.

buzzing~
After an unknown amount of time, the Bodhi Tree suddenly trembled and emitted a series of booming sounds. Brilliant golden light instantly spread in all directions like a torrent.

The branches and leaves of the Bodhi tree also began to stretch outwards, and the power of the laws above flowed continuously.

Lu Chuan, who had already resonated with the Bodhi Tree, looked at it with some disbelief.

Just now, she seemed to have heard the words of the Bodhi Tree, or rather, a special message, indicating that the Bodhi Tree had acknowledged her.

Slowly opening her eyes, Ji Ruxue's face was full of joy. Then, a thought struck her.

boom!
In an instant, the Bodhi tree growing in the herb garden slowly sprouted thick roots, which then floated in the air, radiating a dazzling golden light.

A moment later, the Bodhi Tree in the air gradually transformed into a golden canopy and flew down to Ji Ruxue's head.

The next moment, Ji Ruxue woke up excitedly and stood up abruptly.

"Dad, I did it..."

Unexpectedly, before Ji Ruxue could finish speaking, a huge roar echoed throughout the entire ruins.

boom!
As the Bodhi Tree left the herb garden, the surrounding array patterns began to crack, and the ground of the entire herb garden began to tremble.

Soon, the entire ruins, and even the entire secret realm, began to tremble.

"Oh no, Dad! This place is about to collapse! Let's get out of here!"
