Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, I am your second master

Chapter 324 Early Stage of Nine-Star Dou Sheng

Xiao Li thanked the Bodhi tree and then gently stroked it.

Whoosh~

The ancient Bodhi tree swayed slightly, indicating to Xiao Li that it was nothing and thanked them for helping it solve its problem.

Buzz—

Within the ancient Bodhi tree, bursts of emerald light suddenly erupted, as if something was about to burst forth. A series of muffled thuds followed, and then countless emerald light points shot out from within, finally scattering like petals from a celestial maiden, hovering in the space.

"Bodhi seeds!"

Everyone was shocked; they had actually seen Bodhi seeds, and there were so many of them!

"Rob!"

After the initial shock, most people's eyes turned bloodshot, and powerful bursts of battle qi suddenly surged out, transforming into light and shadow that frantically grabbed at the green dots of light.

Snapped-

With a single slap, all of them turned into bloody foam; the one who struck was Xiao Xue.

Don't let Xiao Xue's short stature and delicate, beautiful appearance fool you; she's strong enough to crack your skull open!

Of Xiao Li's three children, his eldest son Xiao Yun is free-spirited and unrestrained. In his own words, he only loves his three-foot sword and Tang Huoji, and is a free-spirited person.

The second son, Xiao Yu, seems like a quiet, unassuming person who doesn't talk much and appears dull. But in reality, he's quite something; he's managed to keep the little vixen Cao Ying from the Dan Tower completely under his thumb.

In terms of attracting women, Xiao Yu is most like Xiao Li. To put it abstractly, Xiao Li is outwardly flirtatious, while Xiao Yu is inwardly flirtatious.

The youngest daughter, Xiao Xue, is indeed introverted, but she feels there's no need to waste her breath on others.

Xiao Xue is obsessed with cultivation; she can be described as a cultivation fanatic. Besides cultivation, she loves fighting and enjoys the trials of life and death. In terms of decisiveness in killing, she is most like Xiao Li during his Dou Sheng era.

Xiao Xue exuded an extremely murderous aura, and countless people had died at her hands.

Fortunately, Xiao Xue cultivated ice-attribute battle qi and absorbed the Yellow Spring Blood Crystal, which allowed her to maintain a calm mind at all times. She would not be affected by evil qi. However, cultivating extremely strong ice attributes would gradually make her as cold as an iceberg when it came to emotions.

hiss-

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines as they watched the woman who acted so decisively.

Xiao Li ignored them and instead carefully put away the Bodhi seeds.

As for giving them to passersby? Don't be ridiculous. Do you think Bodhi seeds are as common as cabbages? Does the Tianfu Alliance not need to support them anymore? There are only so many Bodhi seeds in total; the Tianfu Alliance doesn't even have enough to give them back.

Xiao Li then looked at Xun'er: "Girl, come with me to Tianfu. Your cultivation level is about right, it's time to take the Bodhi Pill. Those two alchemists from your ancient clan are not as good at alchemy as I am."

Xun'er bowed slightly to Xiao Li and said, "Thank you, Second Grandfather."

Xiao Li nodded, then waved his hand and took the people from the Tianfu Alliance and the ancient clan away.

While the others were still in a daze, the Bodhi Tree expelled them from this space and then re-entered the ground.

. . . . .

At the Tianfu Alliance headquarters, Xiao Li led everyone back to the Tianfu Alliance. With Xiao Li's strength, teleporting people through space was very easy.

"Alright, little ones from Tianfu, it's time to cultivate. Once you reach the peak of the Ninth Revolution Dou Zun, you'll receive a Bodhi Pill."

Xiao Li said calmly that all the people from the Heavenly Mansion Alliance who went to the Desolate Ancient Domain had returned to their secluded cultivation.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh one—

A purple figure appeared in front of Xiao Li; it was Zi Yan.

Zi Yan hugged Xiao Li's arm: "Huh? Xiao Li, you've broken through?"

Xiao Li nodded: "We don't need to be afraid if we encounter the Soul Emperor again. With you and me joining forces, the Soul Emperor will no longer pose a threat to us."

That's right. With the help of comprehending the Bodhi Tree's hundred lifetimes of reincarnation, Xiao Li's cultivation level directly increased to the early stage of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng!

The Hundred Lifetimes of Reincarnation greatly benefited Xiao Li; no wonder it was said to be able to cultivate the potential of a Dou Di (Battle Emperor). It truly lived up to its name as the Bodhi Ancient Tree.

Xiao Li now has many ideas. The Bodhi Tree's hundred lifetimes of reincarnation have greatly improved his alchemy skills.

"Um, Second Master, I'd like to talk to you alone," Xiao Yan suddenly called out to Xiao Li.

Xiao Li nodded slightly: "Come on."

Xiao Li led Xiao Yan to a pavilion, where Xiao Li sat down and Xiao Yan poured tea for him.

"Second Master, could you..."

With a wave of his hand, Xiao Li created a spatial barrier, preventing outsiders from hearing their conversation.

"Second Master, are you also from the Land of...?" Xiao Yan asked a crucial question.

Xiao Li nodded: "Mm."

"Am I just the protagonist in a novel? Is everything about me fake?" Xiao Yan's voice trembled slightly.

Xiao Li glanced at Xiao Yan, then slapped him, knocking him off his seat to the ground.

"Does it hurt?"

"pain."

Xiao Li took another sip of tea: "If it hurts, it means you're not dreaming."

"But..."

Xiao Li interrupted, "There's no 'but' about it. What is real and what is false? This is a philosophical question that even experts from the past couldn't answer. Were we real in our past lives?"

There's no need to overthink it; just live in the moment. At least you know that in this era, you are the protagonist of the Dou Qi Continent.

Xiao Yan didn't know what to say at this moment.

Xiao Li: "Don't worry, as long as your ending is a happy one, that's fine. You are the protagonist of the book, and I may also be the protagonist of some flop author. Our growth trajectory has already been defined by them."

At least we're in a wish-fulfillment novel, where we don't have to go through those utterly devastating ordeals. After all, there are differences between authors, and anyway, your "living father" is a pretty good guy.

Xiao Yan stood there, stunned, unsure what to say: "How many protagonists like me are there? I mean, how many are like me? And what's my popularity like?"

"There are five in total. You're the most popular, and you're at least in the top three in terms of looks," Xiao Li said with a smile.

"Alright, I won't think about it anymore. Thinking too much will only give me a headache. By the way, what's the name of the person who created me?" Xiao Yan asked.

Xiao Li opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but felt something was off. Then, he dipped his finger in water and wrote four characters on the table.

"Oh, I see."

Xiao Li stood up and patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder: "Don't think so much. No matter where we are, our lives and destiny are defined by others. For example, weren't you a food delivery boy in your previous life?"

Very few people are able to live their own lives, and we are still on the path defined by some people. But they have already paved this path for us, and it is an extremely comfortable one. So why not just keep walking on it? All we want in life is a comfortable and warm life.

Now you have four beautiful women, soon to be four lovely wives, and a daughter too. What more could you want? Just live in the moment. As for the future, we'll see.

Xiao Yan nodded, and the knot in his heart was loosened: "I understand, Second Master. I'm going to cultivate and refine the Bodhi Heart."

Xiao Li watched Xiao Yan's departing figure, smiled slightly, and then looked up at the sky: "I wonder who will define my life this time? Even if I'm the protagonist of some book, I'll definitely be the male lead in a wish-fulfillment novel, hahaha~"

Xiao Yan returned in a flash, scratching his head at Xiao Li with a grin, and asked, "Second Master, can you refine that Bodhi Pill?"

Xiao Li smiled and said, "Let's go straight to the alchemy room. I'll show you something new later!"
