Chapter 227, Bodhi Ancient Tree, Battle Saint Puppet!

After breaking through the horde of beasts in front and overcoming the monsters blocking their path, Ning and his companions finally managed to escape the valley and get away from the beast tide.

The valley's exit seemed to be protected by some kind of restriction; the magical beasts rushed to the exit but dared not take another step forward, and could only roar helplessly at Ning and the others.

"It seems these magical beasts are afraid to come out; something is suppressing them."

The group came to their senses and turned around to see the source that kept the beast tide at bay—right in front of them stood an enormous ancient tree that seemed to stand between heaven and earth!

The dense canopy of trees blocked out the sun, as if it wanted to make this whole world its own.

Faintly, one can still see wisps of fresh air emanating from the treetops, exuding an air of mystery.

"Wow, it's huge... Is this the legendary Bodhi tree?"

Everyone stared in disbelief. Even though Ning Su had been mentally prepared, a sense of awe arose in her heart when she saw the oldest Bodhi tree on the entire continent.

They were not facing a single tree, but the vicissitudes of ten thousand years!

All life on the entire Dou Qi Continent felt as insignificant as mayflies before the Bodhi Ancient Tree, their hearts filled with a sense of their own insignificance.

Not far ahead, the Soul Clan and the Ancient Clan had recovered from their shock and were rushing towards the Bodhi Tree.

"Let's follow them; we can't let them get there first."

Ning and the others quickly followed.

The ancient Bodhi tree may seem close at first glance, but it is actually quite a distance away from them.

It took them more than ten minutes to finally arrive at the Bodhi tree.

Observing this towering tree up close will make one realize more deeply one's own insignificance.

An ancient Bodhi tree!

The Tree of Wisdom and Reincarnation!

This is a life form that has existed since the formation of the Dou Qi Continent. It has witnessed many powerful figures throughout its life, including the birth and fall of Dou Di!

Now, the sacred tree is right in front of them!

Everyone standing in front of it can feel this profound and enduring sense of the vicissitudes of time.

Even a Battle Saint felt as insignificant as a mayfly in front of the Bodhi Ancient Tree.

Moreover, on the massive trunk of the ancient Bodhi tree, one can see with the naked eye a cluster of emerald green energy, which, like a human heart, is constantly beating and making a "thump thump thump" sound.

Bodhicitta!

Legend has it that the Bodhi tree has three treasures: Bodhi seeds, Bodhi mind, and enlightenment under the Bodhi tree.

Bodhi seeds can greatly increase the success rate of a half-saint breaking through to the Battle Saint realm.

Bodhicitta, on the other hand, can greatly extend human lifespan. In fact, if one successfully merges with Bodhicitta, it can become a second heart in the event of a fatal injury, granting one a second life.

But looking at that beating Bodhi heart, no one was in a hurry to take action.

There aren't many groups that have arrived in front of the Bodhi Ancient Tree yet; it's still just the Ancient Clan, the Soul Clan, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, the Flame Clan, and Ning Su's group.

In addition, several other peak Dou Zun followed them through the beast tide and arrived in front of the Bodhi Ancient Tree.

But no one was in a hurry.

Everyone who comes here is intelligent; none of them are fools.

The Bodhi Tree is the most intelligent being. Don't be fooled by its appearance as just a tree; its wisdom probably surpasses that of all life on the entire Dou Qi Continent.

No one dared to make any rash moves.

At this moment, Elder Huo Lie of the Yan Clan stepped forward and said, "The Bodhi Ancient Tree is recorded in the ancient records of your clans."

"This is the most intelligent life on the mainland. Many classic texts and ancient books say that the Bodhi tree has the opportunity to make people instantly become saints."

"But along with opportunity lies endless crisis, a danger that even a Battle Saint cannot withstand!"

"According to our clan's records, one of our ancestors, who was at the level of a Battle Saint, discovered the Bodhi Ancient Tree and attempted to obtain it."

"But in the end, that ancestor disappeared along with the Bodhi tree without a trace. Our clan all believe that the ancestor was killed by the Bodhi tree."

Huo Lie's words silenced the others in agreement.

The Ancient Clan, the Soul Clan, and the Heavenly Phoenix Clan all have some ancient texts that record information related to the Bodhi Ancient Tree.

Moreover, they all basically mentioned which ancestor discovered the Bodhi Tree and tried to obtain it, but ultimately disappeared without a trace.

The ancestors who disappeared had varying levels of cultivation, the lowest being only a Dou Zun, but the highest reaching Dou Sheng.

Although these events are recorded in ancient books and so many years have passed, no one knows whether they are true or false.

But all this information combined is enough to show that the Bodhi tree is not as simple as it seems.

The latest novel is first published here!

It may possess unimaginable power, and if we let our guard down, it could very well become nourishment for the ancient Bodhi tree!

Everyone kept their distance and observed the condition of the ancient Bodhi tree.

However, the Bodhi tree remained silent for a long time, as if it had not noticed their arrival, or perhaps the Bodhi tree had actually noticed them long ago but simply did not take them seriously, hence its silence.

Finally, after waiting for more than half an hour in this quiet atmosphere, someone couldn't resist their curiosity and took a step forward.

Just as they were walking forward, the ancient Bodhi tree finally stirred.

"Splash splash splash splash—!"

The sound of leaves rustling rapidly came from the dense canopy of trees.

Countless branches wrapped around five figures, which slowly fell to the ground.

The branches receded, revealing the person wrapped up inside.

These people all looked ancient, and they possessed both 'life energy' and 'death energy' on them!

Anger is the life force bestowed upon them by the ancient Bodhi tree, preventing their bodies from decaying and deteriorating.

The deathly aura is because these people have long since died, leaving only their bodies for the Bodhi Tree to exploit.

They can no longer be called human beings; they are puppets!

As the five puppets regained their footing, their auras began to slowly emerge.

The terrifying aura caused everyone's expression to change—five five-star Dou Sheng!

These five puppets were all at the level of five-star Dou Sheng!

"What's going on? I remember these puppets of the Bodhi Tree shouldn't be this strong, right?" Ning Su frowned.

He remembered that in the original story, the puppets released by the Bodhi Tree at this time should all be half-saints, so how come they have all become fighting saints now?

And they are all five-star Dou Sheng!

This is stronger than all the Dou Sheng powerhouses from various races and factions present!

"Could it be... that the Bodhi Tree releases different puppets based on our cultivation level?" Ning Su suddenly thought of this possibility.

With the Bodhi Tree's abilities, it could easily subdue several five-star Dou Sheng, and it might even be hiding puppets stronger than five-star Dou Sheng!
