Battle Through the Heavens: He marries Xun'er, but she refuses to consummate the marriage!

Chapter 231 Worried about me? You should be grateful if you don't cause trouble!

Deep within the desolate ancient realm.

A huge ancient Bodhi tree stands alone in the center of the grassland.

The vast expanse of pure air centered around it.

It spread out in all directions, creating a spectacular sight.

Where did Brother Gufei go?

"Given Brother Gu Fei's speed, he should have arrived here much earlier..."

A thousand feet away from the massive trunk of the ancient Bodhi tree, Xun'er sat cross-legged.

She has maintained the same posture for more than half a month.

Previously, most of the people who teamed up with Xun'er to break through the beast tide did the same.

Many people come here and see the Bodhi Heart, and they all want to attack the ancient Bodhi tree to seize the opportunity. However, their attacks are too weak, and they don't even damage the bark of the ancient Bodhi tree.

As time went by, these people got tired of fighting and stopped, sitting cross-legged around the ancient Bodhi tree to wait for the treasure to arrive.

"Splash!"

Suddenly, a rustling sound rang out on this quiet grassland.

"There's movement!"

Seeing this commotion, the hundreds of people sitting cross-legged outside the Bodhi tree became excited. After waiting for so long, they all felt that the Bodhi tree was finally about to produce the Bodhi Heart and the Bodhi Seed.

"Brother Gufei might have been delayed by something..."

"Very well, since that's the case, then I will seize the many opportunities brought by the descent of the Bodhi Tree for my clan..."

"Once I return with the treasure, everyone in the clan, and even Brother Gu Fei, will surely look at me with admiration..."

Xun'er opened her eyes, which were now filled with fighting spirit. She was confident that she could stand out among these hundreds of people and win the treasure.

As Xun'er pondered...

The ancient Bodhi tree, which had stood motionless in the center of the grassland for almost a month, suddenly burst forth with dazzling emerald green light.

Immediately, figures emerged from the radiance in disarray.

"Hmm, what's that? It's a person?"

Seeing this, those around who were eager to try and seize the treasure were stunned.

The expected treasure-spitting phenomenon did not occur; clearly, someone else beat them to it.

"We're finally out!"

The few survivors of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan breathed in the fresh air of the grassland, feeling a sense of exhilaration at having escaped death.

Outsiders would never have guessed.

What terrifying dangers did they experience in that short month?

That terrifying illusion.

Even after a long time, they will probably still find the memory vivid.

Gu Fei also let out a soft breath.

Of all the changes that have occurred in the past month or so, his is naturally the one that has been most significant.

What outsiders saw as January was a month in which he experienced countless reincarnations.

Although the cycle of cultivation did not allow his strength to truly surge to a terrifying level.

But unknowingly, they left behind something that could influence the future.

"Brother Gufei..."

Seeing that Gu Fei had also been spat out by the Bodhi Tree, Xun'er's pretty face was full of excitement.

She moved swiftly and arrived at Gu Fei's side.

"Didn't I tell you not to come?"

Upon seeing Xun'er appear beside him, Gu Fei almost subconsciously frowned, his tone carrying a hint of reproach.

"I...I'm worried about you..."

Hearing Gu Fei's scolding, Xun'er lowered her head and explained in a low voice, but at this moment she felt a sense of joy.

Normally, Gu Fei wouldn't bother to respond to her.

It's quite a change that he's now willing to blame himself.

"Are you worried about me?"

"It's good that you're not causing me any trouble!"

Gu Fei said coldly.

As a mere four-star Dou Sheng, even if something were to happen to me, what help could Xun'er, a peak Dou Zun, possibly offer? It's a joke!

"Buzz!"

When the last person was thrown out, the ancient Bodhi tree trembled violently, and then a circle of emerald green light spread out from the base of the tree.

Under this diffused light, the ground appeared to have turned into liquid.

The ancient Bodhi tree, too, slowly seeped into the ground along with that liquid.

If you see an ancient Bodhi tree, you should dive underground.

Many people's expressions changed slightly.

Immediately, he was filled with resentment.

Once the Bodhi Ancient Tree is buried in the ground, even a Dou Sheng (Battle Saint) expert would be unable to find it.

In other words, the next time we can see it is ten thousand years from now, when the Bodhi tree will be born again.

Amidst the sighs of the crowd, Gu Fei gently touched his chest, specifically his heart area.

There, suspended, was a green heart, its entire body like jade, crystal clear.

This is the legendary Bodhi Heart, but Gu Fei has not yet refined it.

"Brother Bodhi, thank you very much. I hope we can meet again next time!"

Gu Fei gazed at the ancient Bodhi tree that was sinking deeper and deeper into the ground and murmured softly.

He also felt a slight sense of regret.

This ancient Bodhi tree did not develop true sentience; otherwise, it would surely have become a true pinnacle powerhouse on the Dou Qi Continent.

"boom!"

Under the watchful eyes of many, the ancient Bodhi tree finally slowly sank into the ground.

As the last ray of emerald light disappeared, the grassland became empty once again.

"These people came out of the Bodhi tree; the treasures must be on them. Kill them, and the treasures will be everyone's..."

"Yes, everyone, let's go together!"

With the Bodhi Tree gone, the powerful figures from the continent who had been waiting anxiously all turned their attention to Gu Fei and the members of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, for they had just emerged from the Bodhi Tree.

In an instant, a murderous intent permeated the air.

"You guys have some nerve!"

Seeing this, Xun'er coldly rebuked.

"If you want to seize the treasure, just find him. He's taken all the Bodhi seeds, including the legendary Bodhi Heart!"

Seeing the commotion of the powerful figures around her, Jiufeng subconsciously pointed at Gu Fei.

He was worried that Gu Fei would retaliate later, so he wanted these people to slow down Gu Fei and buy time for his Heavenly Phoenix Clan to escape.

After he finished speaking, a spatial fluctuation was heard across the once silent grassland.

Everyone looked over and saw that it was the Heavenly Phoenix Clan tearing through space.

They wanted to escape from the void.

"Ha, you, Jiu Feng, are not worthy to run away right under my nose!"

Gu Fei glanced at it disdainfully.

Then, he stretched out his hand and gently grasped it in the direction where Jiufeng was.

The next moment, Jiufeng's body exploded as if subjected to immense pressure.

A powerful expert at the peak of Dou Zun, about to step into the realm of Half-Saint, was killed so easily. In an instant, everyone who had originally planned to make a move backed away.

To snatch treasures from such a terrifyingly powerful person is no different from courting death.
