Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

"I see!"

Xiao Xuan suddenly realized, and looked at Lin Feng with admiration. Such a prodigy was not only exceptionally talented, but also had an astonishingly brilliant plan.

Gu Xun'er, standing to the side, also narrowed her eyes, understanding Lin Feng's intention, her eyes filled with amazement.

"Xun'er, what is the Bodhi tree?"

In the Black Corner Region, after Lin Feng intercepted the Bodhi Transformation Saliva, although Yao Lao's many classic texts contained records of many rare and wondrous things, Xiao Yan did not have much time to learn more and did not know what the Bodhi Ancient Tree was.

"Brother Xiao Yan, the Bodhi Ancient Tree is a legendary top-tier wood-attribute treasure that appears only once every ten thousand years on the continent!"

Legend has it that Bodhi has three treasures: the Bodhi seed, the Bodhi mind, and enlightenment under the Bodhi tree!

"Legend has it that even the lowest quality Bodhi seeds, if refined into the Bodhi Pill, can give someone the chance to become a half-saint."

"And that Bodhicitta, which only appears once every ten thousand years, has the terrifying effect of instantly making one a saint!"

"However, even so, of the three treasures of Bodhi, the most desirable is enlightenment under the Bodhi tree!"

"Many powerful figures on the Dou Qi Continent call it—the Hundred Lifetimes of Reincarnation!"

At this point, even without Xun'er's further explanation, Xiao Yan already understood the terrifying power of the Bodhi Tree. Even the lowest-grade Bodhi seed could increase the chances of becoming a half-saint.

On this endless continent of Dou Qi, besides the descendants of the imperial clan who benefit from the favor of the Dou Emperor, how many semi-saint level experts are there?

Even among the tens of millions of descendants of the ancient races, only a dozen or so in each generation can achieve the status of a half-saint.

The Bodhi Heart's ability to instantly transform someone into a saint was even more astonishing to Xiao Yan; a Dou Sheng powerhouse was beyond his imagination!

Senior Brother Lin Feng, however, turned his gaze to the hundred lifetimes of reincarnation, which was even more terrifying than the Bodhi Heart.

"Is this the difference between me and Senior Brother Lin Feng?"

If Lin Feng knew Xiao Yan's inner thoughts, he would clearly deny them.

"No, this is the difference between you and those who know the plot!"

However, even now, Lin Feng still wouldn't dare say that he can always surpass Xiao Yan. In the original story, this guy went straight from a seven-star Dou Sheng to the Dou Di realm, which left even the Soul Emperor dumbfounded.

Lin Feng estimated that, according to the Soul Emperor's thinking, even though Xiao Yan was already extremely threatening at the time, he probably still didn't take the Soul Emperor seriously.

After all, the Soul Emperor was a half-emperor. Although Xiao Yan already had an emperor-level soul at that time, who wasn't an emperor-level soul?

Furthermore, the Soul Emperor entered the Emperor Realm much earlier, so even in terms of soul power, it's uncertain who is stronger or weaker.

If the two of them had met back then, Soul Emperor would probably have been able to kill Xiao Yan in just two or three moves!

However, during the years he spent refining the Emperor Pill, Xiao Yan was promoted to Dou Di and even inherited the terrifying move of the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe - the Strange Flame Heng Gu Ruler!

Even with all other conditions, Xiao Yan still had to sacrifice his physical body to suppress the Soul Emperor, which shows how powerful the Soul Emperor was!

"I've also heard about the Bodhi tree's hundred lifetimes of reincarnation!"

Just then, Xiao Xuan's voice brought them back to their senses.

"After I reached the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm, I didn't make any progress for many years. So I started searching all over the continent for traces left by those vanished Dou Di!"

"The ancient Bodhi tree is one of the objects of my suspicion!"

"I was incredibly fortunate to witness its birth; the sheer size and towering canopy of the tree was breathtaking!"

"However, the most terrifying thing is the black aura swirling around its trunk. I'm certain that it's the trace of a Dou Di!"

"Unfortunately, perhaps the ancient Bodhi tree feared my power, for it vanished into the depths of the earth the moment I approached, its whereabouts unknown!"

Xiao Xuan's face showed a hint of regret. Lin Feng remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was startled.

"These top experts on the continent are indeed not easy to deal with. If the Bodhi Ancient Tree hadn't been wary of their power, they might have had a tiny chance of reaching the Dou Di realm by relying on the resentment of that Dou Di!"

"Although it's resentment, it's still composed of the power of a Dou Di (Battle Emperor), and it might even contain Origin Qi!"

Shaking his head inwardly, Lin Feng dismissed the idea. Even Xiao Yan could dispel the resentment of that Dou Di, so it was impossible for it to still possess such a high-level energy as Origin Qi.

"If you truly have the opportunity to attain enlightenment under that Bodhi tree, resolving this superficial state of battle qi will be a piece of cake!"

"However, the Bodhi tree appears only once every ten thousand years, and no one can predict where it will appear. The time it takes to appear is also extremely short, so you must make the most of it!"

As for why this opportunity wasn't given to the only heir of the Xiao clan, Xiao Xuan knew that the Xiao clan currently lacked the power to grant Xiao Yan this opportunity.

"Thank you for your guidance, senior!"

"Time is running out, Little Flame. Now I will teach you the final and most important part of the Heavenly Fire Three Transformations!"

Xiao Xuan waved his hand. The reason he said all this was that he hoped Lin Feng would take better care of Xiao Yan in the future, for the sake of today, so as not to let the last hope of the Xiao clan perish.

As for Xiao Yan's girlfriend, Gu Xun'er, Xiao Xuan smiled disdainfully to himself. He didn't know about the younger generation of the Gu clan, but he had figured out the hypocrisy of the older generation over the years.

"Lin Feng, you two don't need to hide it. The Xiao Clan's secret techniques are no longer important now that the Xiao Clan no longer exists!"

Lin Feng, who had originally intended to avoid the situation, stopped in his tracks upon seeing it.

Even if this secret technique doesn't significantly improve his strength, the underlying principles are still worth listening to. After all, it's fire-attribute, and it might offer some inspiration for his future technique creation.

"The so-called Three Transformations of Heavenly Fire is the ultimate application of fire-related energy, resulting in the raging and intense nature of fire."

Above the tomb, Xiao Xuan's voice echoed, and Lin Feng felt endless admiration for his wisdom.

Unexpectedly, besides the Dou Di of the Yan Clan and the Dou Di of Tuoshe Ancient Emperor who was born from fire, there is another being in this world whose understanding of fire has reached such a level.

Looking at the flames that transformed into all things in Xiao Xuan's hand, which were clearly fused by Xiao Yan using the Burning Technique, they appeared to be as if they were his original possessions in Xiao Xuan's hands!

If it weren't for the fact that his hair was black instead of the colorful hair of the Ghost Fire Boy, Lin Feng would have suspected that he was possessed by the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe.

Time passed slowly, and with Xiao Yan's current peak level of the second stage of Dou Zun, his cultivation of the Heavenly Flame Three Transformations was extremely fast.

In just over ten days, the complete Xiao clan emblem was carved out.

In that instant, with the help of the clan mark, his aura instantly reached the seventh level of Dou Zun.

"Is it because Xiao Yan absorbed more of the strange fire than in the original story?"

"The clan emblem has appeared, and the three years are almost up. You should hurry to the exit of the Heavenly Tomb!"

The moment Xiao Xuan saw the clan mark on Xiao Yan's head, his body trembled almost imperceptibly, a tremor that even Lin Feng didn't notice.

"Xiao Clan, is there really no way to revive you?"

Xiao Yan's gaze was slightly moist as he looked at his ancestor, whose face had aged considerably after losing the bloodline of the Xiao clan. He couldn't help but feel a sense of sorrow.

"Hahaha, I'm already satisfied that I can continue to live by using the rules of the Heavenly Tomb and have waited for your arrival."

Xiao Xuan didn't say it explicitly, but his sister Xun'er told him the rules of the Heavenly Tomb, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Little Yanzi, if you can't bear it, next time you can have your child with Xun'er come here!"

Xiao Xuan's face was full of teasing, which eased Xiao Yan's mood considerably, and Xun'er's face also flushed slightly.

Lin Feng, standing to the side, secretly sighed. Xiao Xuan, that old fox, was quite shrewd. He personally arranged the marriage between the two, so those old guys from the ancient clans would have nothing to say in the future.

After all, he was once a half-emperor. Even if he couldn't leave the Heavenly Tomb, who knew if he could use Xiao Yan's help to unleash some terrifying methods?

"However, resurrecting Xiao Xuan is worth a try, as long as we prevent him from burning his soul essence!"

Everyone noticed the thoughtful look on Lin Feng's face, and Xiao Yan's eyes revealed a hopeful glint.

"Senior Brother Lin Feng, do you have a solution?"

Lin Feng shook his head slightly, but his answer disappointed Xiao Yan.

"The rules of the Heavenly Tomb were written by the Dou Di (Battle Emperor). What can those below the Dou Di possibly do?"

Without absolute certainty, Lin Feng would not make such a boast; otherwise, he would be breaking his promise.

Seeing Xiao Yan's expression, Xiao Xuan smiled slightly, and an energy veil appeared in his hand, which he handed to Xiao Yan.

Upon seeing this treasure, Lin Feng's eyes flickered slightly, but he wasn't envious at all. Really, this thing couldn't even withstand his full-force palm strike; he wasn't lying.

The reason for this was that he did not want Zi Yan's Dragon-Phoenix Armor, which was, after all, condensed from her essence and blood.

Aside from Zhu Kun, whose size is astonishing and who believes he is likely to be trapped in the ancient emperor's cave for the rest of his life, who else would take out so much essence blood?

Even a Dou Sheng powerhouse needs a lot of time to recover from the loss of his essence and blood.

Xiao Xuan smiled slightly. He had naturally seen Lin Feng's expression, but he would naturally leave such a good thing to his own descendants.

After a slight smile, Xiao Xuan waved his hand, and the group appeared at the exit of the Heavenly Tomb. Such power amazed all three of them.

Just as Lin Feng was about to say something, a message suddenly appeared in his mind. After a quick look, he realized it was the spatial coordinates that Xiao Xuan had given him.

What shocked Lin Feng even more was the content on it: the location described on the spatial coordinates actually had two ancient dragons of the Void forming a seal on it.

Although Xiao Xuan couldn't sense any specific aura from the stone statue he had turned into, it was at least an eight-star Dou Sheng.

Upon seeing this, Lin Feng was overjoyed.

"Those two old dragons must be the eldest and second eldest brothers that Senior Zhugong and the others mentioned. If we can rescue them, with at least three eight-star Dou Sheng present, the Soul Clan's plan will surely fail!"

"In this way, I will have enough time to cultivate, and it's even possible that, with the help of these powerful dragon clans, I can join forces with the ancient clans and defeat the Soul Clan in one fell swoop!"

Lin Feng's idea was not without reason. Although the Soul Clan had Void Devouring Flame, a nine-star Dou Sheng, and the Four Demon Saints, four eight-star Dou Sheng level experts.

However, the Four Demon Saints had already died in the battle when they besieged Xiao Xuan. They were only suspended by the Soul Clan's secret technique and could not fight for long.

"However, we'll have to wait for Senior Zhugong and the others to go and check. Xiao Xuan's era is extremely distant now, and we don't know if those two old dragons are still alive."

"To force two ancient dragons of the eighth star or higher to turn into fossils to suppress and seal them, they must be unimaginably powerful beings!"

Shaking his head, Lin Feng slowly flew towards the spatial rift in the sky. He decided to leave these matters to Zhu Gong and the others.

His most important task right now is to stabilize his fighting spirit.

Then, we wait for the Bodhi Tree to open!

After leaving the Heavenly Tomb, Lin Feng greeted Xiao Yan and the others, then opened the void passage to Dragon Island and left first.

What happened next was nothing more than child's play in the eyes of this high-level semi-saint, and naturally not worth his time.

Half a day later, Lin Feng returned to Dragon Island.

With his current spatial abilities, he could have arrived in just half an hour once he had the coordinates.

However, the returning Zhugong and others reactivated the concealment formation of Dragon Island. Without coordinates, they would only be able to encounter each other by chance in the endless void of the Dou Qi Continent.

Otherwise, even if Gu Yuan used the Ancient Emperor Mirror, he would still be unable to find it even after searching for thousands of years!

"Lin Feng, why has your battle aura become so weak?"

Upon seeing Lin Feng advance to the advanced half-saint level, Zhu Gong and the others showed little joy; instead, they frowned.

"Such weak fighting spirit not only affects combat strength, but also makes future improvement extremely difficult!"

Lin Feng had anticipated this situation and explained the method of enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, which put everyone at ease.

"Seniors, is it time for Zi Yan to absorb the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit? Perhaps I can refine some pills to help her absorb it better!"

"That won't be necessary!"

Seeing Lin Feng's puzzled expression, Zhu Gong and the others exchanged glances, and then two purple dragons appeared in the main hall.

"This was crafted by Xuan Dan using our dragon blood, combined with the essence and demonic core of the three Heavenly Demon Phoenixes!"

At this point, a hint of pain appeared on Zhugong's face. It seemed that Ancestor Xuandan had obtained quite a few good things from the Dragon Clan through this opportunity.

"That guy took this opportunity to touch the threshold of the Seven-Star Dou Sheng."

"However, to avoid attracting the attention of the Soul Clan, he is currently in seclusion deep within Dragon Island, so you won't be able to see him!"

"I never expected the Ancestor would personally come to Dragon Island to refine pills for Zi Yan!"

This move was truly unexpected for Lin Feng.

However, having these two precious dragon pills, Zi Yan did not hastily consume the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit as she had done before.

Once she reaches the Nine Revolutions Dou Zun realm, she will consume these two precious pills, and with their blessing, she will definitely be much stronger than before!

Lin Feng guessed that it was at least a five-star Dou Sheng or higher! (End of Chapter)
