Battle Through the Heavens: The Alchemist Starting from the Ye Family

Page 195

"Is that so?" Qinglin frowned, but her heart was still unsettled.

In comparison, Little Fairy Doctor is more composed.

After listening to Ancestor Xiankong's words, she felt they made a lot of sense. Besides, without the permission of the Bodhi Tree, they simply couldn't enter.

It's even less likely that they would search for Ye Chen and his companion in that mysterious place.

Now, all they can do is wait!

After they calmed down, the others gradually realized that something seemed to have happened on Danta's side.

As allies, Xiao Yan and Yao Chen immediately came over, and the members of the ancient clan, wanting to obtain more information about the Bodhi Ancient Tree, also followed.

"Miss Xian'er, Miss Qinglin, has something happened? Where is Brother Ye Chen?" Xiao Yan couldn't help but ask directly when he saw that Ye Chen was no longer there.

Little Fairy Doctor glanced at Xiao Yan and his disciples, then at the ancient clansmen following behind them. After a moment's hesitation, she truthfully replied, "Brother Ye Chen and Sister Cai Die haven't come out of the Bodhi Tree yet..."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan and Yao Chen's expressions changed simultaneously.

They didn't believe that Ye Chen and Ye Chen were in trouble. After all, if they, who were much weaker, could get out safely, then Ye Chen would certainly be safe too...

Since the possibility of encountering danger is very small, it is highly likely that the other party has obtained the opportunity of the Bodhi Ancient Tree... This is not a good thing for Xiao Yan and his group, but it is not a bad thing either.

After all, they are allies now, so it's better for Ye Chen to benefit than for the Soul Clan to benefit, isn't it?

I just couldn't help feeling a little disappointed and a bit jealous.

"Sister, could you tell us what happened when you arrived?" Gu Xun'er gently played with her long hair, looking at Little Fairy Doctor with a charming smile, and said softly.

Little Fairy Doctor glanced at Gu Xun'er, whose face was beaming with an innocent smile, then swept her gaze over Xiao Yan and the others. After hesitating for a moment, she finally spoke, "Yes..."

Then, she explained the details about the demigod puppet to everyone.

Upon hearing that the Bodhi Ancient Tree could turn a half-saint into a soulless puppet, Xiao Yan and the others couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.

Fortunately, they were lucky this time, as the Bodhi Tree released them on its own initiative; otherwise, they probably wouldn't have fared much better than the five half-saints...

However, after learning that the Bodhi Tree possessed such terrifying power, Xiao Yan and the others agreed with the conjecture of the Trapped Void Ancestor.

The reason they were released by the Bodhi Tree was likely because Ye Chen triggered something, or rather, gained the Bodhi Tree's approval...

In any case, the ancient Bodhi tree has shown goodwill, so there shouldn't be any danger.

As for the specifics, we'll only know once Ye Chen and the other person come out.

After the people from the Pill Tower and Flower Sect decided to wait, Xiao Yan and Gu Xun'er also decided to wait.

Having taken such a great risk and endured so much hardship to find this ancient Bodhi tree, it would be unacceptable for anyone to simply leave without explanation.

As for the others...

At this moment, Hun Yu's eyes flashed with a gloomy light. As the ancient Soul Clan was, they naturally knew what the Bodhi Three Treasures were all about. Faced with the terrifying potential to help someone step into the Dou Di realm, no one could resist such temptation.

"President Danta, a potential Dou Di? Should we use the spatial jade slip to summon the clan's experts and kill these guys outright..."

Hun Yu felt a chilling killing intent in her heart. If Ye Chen were to leave so easily, the clan would likely have one more formidable enemy in the future!

Chapter 452 The Soul Clan Attacks (4,000 words)

Within the Bodhi Space, as the two figures within the ancient Bodhi tree slowly opened their eyes, this space, permeated with the aura of life, suddenly rippled with strange fluctuations…

"Colorful Butterfly..." A slightly hoarse murmur echoed between the two.

Although they have gone through countless reincarnations, they still share endless love and destiny.

Perhaps they both entered the cycle of reincarnation at the same time, and in each reincarnation, they were able to come together and continue their love through a hundred lifetimes.

A hint of vicissitude flashed in Her Majesty's gentle eyes, but the moment she saw the familiar face that had accompanied her through countless lifetimes, her first instinct was to give her lover a deep, gentle kiss.

"Hua Hua Hua..."

As the leaves rustled, the two bodies, pressed tightly together, were moved outside by the ancient Bodhi tree. They finally snapped out of their reverie and couldn't help but stretch at the same time.

Their perfectly coordinated actions prompted them to look at each other again, and then they broke into bright smiles.

Sensing the changes within himself, Ye Chen realized that he had unknowingly broken through the barrier of a one-star Dou Sheng and successfully entered the realm of a two-star Dou Sheng.

What truly surprised him was not the change in his fighting spirit, but the improvement in his soul realm!

"Great Perfection of the Celestial Realm!"

Feeling the terrifying soul power within himself, even Ye Chen couldn't help but smile.

The Bodhi Tree's hundred lifetimes of reincarnation primarily enhance not fighting spirit, but the soul and enlightenment!

The reason why Ye Chen's fighting spirit cultivation improved was mainly due to the fact that the Bodhi Ancient Tree actively provided him with a large amount of pure energy.

Similarly, the changes in the butterfly were similar to those of Ye Chen.

However, compared to Ye Chen, Cai Die was inferior in both soul realm and battle qi cultivation. Therefore, even after a hundred reincarnations, Cai Die's soul power had only just broken through to the Heaven Realm, and her battle qi cultivation had only reached the level of advanced half-saint...

Never underestimate the Heavenly Realm Soul. This is a realm that only ninth-grade alchemists can reach, and there are no more than ten such people in the entire Central Continent!

As for ordinary people, even among Dou Sheng powerhouses, very few can reach the Heavenly Realm in their soul realm, and all of them have achieved this through countless years of arduous cultivation.

"In less than a month, it has been comparable to a normal person's hundreds of years of arduous cultivation. No wonder the Bodhi Ancient Tree has such a great reputation in the Dou Qi Continent."

With a sigh, Ye Chen patted the trunk of the ancient Bodhi tree and smiled, "This time, I have to thank you a lot..."

"Wow..."

The ancient Bodhi tree swayed its branches, as if to say, "You're welcome."

After the resentment of the Dou Di was gone, the Bodhi Ancient Tree space was no longer filled with that cold aura. Instead, it was filled with a gentle, clear energy and vitality. Even a single breath was equivalent to a Dou Zong's cultivation for a whole day.

"Buzz!"

Just as Ye Chen was about to leave, patches of emerald green light suddenly burst forth from within the Bodhi Ancient Tree, as if something was about to burst forth.

Seeing the Bodhi tree's actions, Ye Chen and his companion were both startled, then looked over with great curiosity, ready to see what the ancient tree was planning to do next...

The next moment, a series of faint muffled sounds suddenly came from within the Bodhi tree, followed by a burst of emerald green light spots that, like a celestial maiden scattering flowers, filled the space in front of the two of them...

"Bodhi seed!"

Upon seeing these points of light, both of them were taken aback, and then Cai Die's shocked voice suddenly escaped her lips.

"They're all Bodhi seeds!"

Ye Chen also stared in surprise at the emerald green dots, which were about the same number as the ones he had helped refine before, around twenty or so.

A smile spread across Ye Chen's face as he looked at the ancient tree again and chuckled, "Is this a gift to us? It seems I should say thank you again!"

Raising his hand, Ye Chen couldn't help but feel happy as he watched the green, glowing Bodhi seeds fly into his hand one by one.

"Well then, we should head out too."

……

……

Deep within the desolate ancient realm.

A huge ancient Bodhi tree stands alone in the center of the grassland, with a vast expanse of pure energy spreading outwards from it, creating a truly magnificent sight.

Not far from the ancient Bodhi tree, hundreds of figures sat cross-legged, facing the giant tree in the center. From a distance, it looked as if they were performing some kind of sacrificial ceremony...

Of course, the sacrificial rites were just a joke.

These people were clearly the members of the Pill Tower who were waiting for Ye Chen, along with some other individuals with their own ulterior motives.

"It's been a month, Brother Hunyu. Do you think Ye Chen might have already died in that terrifying illusion of the Bodhi Ancient Tree?" Jiufeng, who possessed a pair of colorful children, looked at Hunyu beside her and asked softly.

Even now, the thought of the terrifying illusion she experienced still sends chills down Jiufeng's spine.

"Hehe, Brother Jiufeng, you need to be patient. I don't believe someone like Ye Chen would fall in a mere illusion. Don't forget, none of us perished in there. Does the Bodhi Ancient Tree look down on us and only like those who are strong?"

Hunyu jokingly reassured him.

Clearly, in order to deal with Ye Chen, who might have gained the most from this exploration, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix and the Soul Clan, just like in the original story, have joined forces.

But that's normal, since both of these families have grudges against Ye Chen. Even if it's just to cause him trouble, they'd be more than happy to do it...

"However, Brother Jiufeng, Ye Chen and the people from the Pill Tower are quite strong, not to mention those guys from the Starfall Pavilion..."

Xiao Yan has a close relationship with Gu Xun'er, the little princess of the Gu clan. This could be a factor that affects us later, so we must be wary of it!

Hun Yu's smile faded, replaced by a solemn expression.

"Brother Hunyu, rest assured, I brought a spatial jade slip with me this time. In critical moments, I can summon the experts of my Heavenly Phoenix Clan to come to my aid!"

Jiufeng first spoke confidently, then changed the subject and said again, "However, Ye Chen is very powerful. He is a true Dou Sheng, and he can also summon a low-level Dou Sheng-level dragon energy body. The only way to deal with him is to rely on the powerful strength of the Soul Clan!"

Clearly, Jiu Feng wasn't stupid; she knew how strong Ye Chen was, and she couldn't possibly be willing to be a pawn for the Soul Clan...

"Hehe, Brother Jiufeng, don't worry. I'll leave Ye Chen to my Soul Clan. You, Heavenly Demon Phoenix, only need to assist my Soul Clan's Half-Saint in holding off those powerful figures from the Pill Tower!" Soul Jade's face regained its gentle smile as he spoke in a solemn voice.

This time, Hunyu truly harbored murderous intent towards Ye Chen, so he would no longer scheme against the Heavenly Demon Phoenix and its flock of flat-feathered birds, as that would only create loopholes in his plan!

Just after the two finished discussing

At the moment of completion, suddenly...

"Whoosh!"

A sudden rustling sound broke the silence of the grassland.

Suddenly, the ancient Bodhi tree, which stood motionless in the center of the grassland, burst forth with dazzling emerald light. Then, two figures stepped out from the light and stood on the grassland once more.

"Master?!"

The sudden turn of events left everyone stunned.

In the blink of an eye, Qing Lin's joyful voice rang out, and then everyone in the Pill Tower quickly stood up, their eyes filled with surprise as they looked at the two figures that had appeared not far away.

"Out?!"

Everyone else was also delighted, and then they all focused their attention on Ye Chen and his companion who had just emerged from the Bodhi Space...

As for Ye Chen, it wasn't a big deal, since the other party was too strong and they couldn't detect any information in the first place.

However, when they looked at the colorful butterfly, many powerful figures were startled.

"This is... the aura of a Dou Sheng?"

Yes, there were quite a few powerful individuals present, and even more from major powers. The mysterious aura surrounding Cai Die, which was different from that of ordinary Dou Zun, was something they had all encountered among the powerful figures in their respective families and sects. It was a unique aura that only Saint-level experts could possess...

This further proves that it was these two people who received the bodhi tree's gift and became the biggest beneficiaries of this exploration of the wilderness!

Thinking of this, many people's gazes subtly changed, and when they looked at Ye Chen and the others again, their expressions became somewhat hostile...

After all, everyone came here to search for treasure, and so many people have been lost. Now all the benefits have been obtained by one or two people. I'm afraid the rest of us won't be happy about it.

This change was immediately noticed by Hunyu and Jiufeng, and a smile appeared on their lips as they began to make their own plans...

Meanwhile, Ye Chen was still comforting the frightened Qing Lin and Little Fairy Doctor. After all, the two of them had disappeared for a month in an instant, and even Little Fairy Doctor, who had always appeared very calm, was actually very worried inside.

"It's alright, it's alright. You two should have some faith in me, right? ...Didn't I tell you, with my strength, how could I possibly encounter an insurmountable danger?"

After calming the two women down, Ye Chen glanced at the crowd around him and noticed that in addition to the people from the Pill Tower, there were also members from the Flower Sect and the Starfall Pavilion, and even a few members from the Ancient Clan were there.

Ye Chen greeted each of them and exchanged a few pleasantries.

Then, Ye Chen flipped his hand and took out several emerald green specks of light, which were the Bodhi seeds he had obtained from the ancient Bodhi tree earlier...

With a flick of his finger, the Bodhi seeds transformed into green light and flew directly in several directions, eventually landing in the hands of the Trapped Void Ancestor, the Nine Profound Saint, Yun Yun, Xiao Yan, and even Gu Xun'er beside Xiao Yan.

"These Bodhi seeds are what I obtained from that ancient Bodhi tree. Although there aren't many, please accept them; it will make your trip worthwhile..."

Well, although Ye Chen obtained more than twenty Bodhi seeds from the ancient Bodhi tree, he wouldn't be foolish enough to take them all out.

"Thank you, President!" Ancestor Xiankong and Saint Jiuxuan calmly put away the Bodhi seeds and cupped their hands in thanks.

"Thank you very much, President Ye..." A hint of surprise flashed in Yun Yun's eyes, and then she nodded demurely in thanks.

As for Xiao Yan, he was also delighted, especially when he saw that Ye Chen had also given one to Xun'er. He nodded gratefully to Ye Chen and said, "Brother Ye, thank you!"

Ye Chen smiled and nodded to the group, about to exchange a few polite words, when a voice suddenly rang out...

"President Ye, we all entered the Bodhi Tree together, went through so many trials, and many of us even lost our cultivation points. Now, you alone have obtained this Bodhi seed. Isn't that a bit too unfair?"

As soon as the words were spoken, those who did not belong to the previous groups became somewhat agitated. Although no one dared to stand up and agree directly, they all seemed to agree with the speaker's meaning.

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow, a faint smile playing on his lips, and his gaze, along with the others, turned to the person who had spoken…

"Brother Ye, be careful. That Soul Jade belongs to the Soul Clan. They are hypocritical and treacherous. Back when they joined forces to break through the beast tide, they secretly plotted to make others act as cannon fodder..." Xiao Yan turned his head, looked at the Soul Jade, and warned Ye Chen in a deep voice.
