Chapter 168 If you won't give it to me, I'll take it! Medusa
"Whoosh!!"
The ancient Bodhi tree swayed wildly, as if nodding eagerly. Clearly, Ye Ming's words had struck a chord with it.
Ye Ming was somewhat helpless about this; no wonder this stupid tree was being corrupted by the negative emotions of a Dou Di.
We need to go through a process to save it; if we don't swallow it, who will we swallow?
Seeing that the Bodhi tree had agreed, Ye Ming decided to stop beating around the bush and spoke directly:
"I can help you get rid of the negative emotions associated with becoming a Dou Di, but you'll have to move to a different place afterward."
He showed the Bodhi tree the vision within his spiritual aperture.
"This place is big enough for your new home."
He had originally wanted to negotiate with the Bodhi Tree, but considering its questionable intelligence, he abandoned the idea.
For him, Bodhicitta and Bodhi seeds were treasures, but they were of no use to him personally.
It would be a waste to give it to the clone to enhance its strength and then merge it with oneself.
What he truly valued was the cycle of reincarnation and the wondrous ancient Bodhi tree.
If it were moved into one's own immortal aperture, the resources of that immortal aperture would inevitably reach a higher level.
As long as resources are abundant enough, the immortal essence produced by the immortal aperture will also be greater.
After listening to Ye Ming's words, the Bodhi tree remained silent for a while, and then began to shake again, as if it were about to crash.
This time, Ye Ming didn't indulge it, stating frankly, "If you can't do this, I can't help you."
"After all, the Bodhi mind and the Bodhi seeds are mine!"
The ancient Bodhi tree was stunned for a moment, and the whole tree suddenly felt unwell.
What do you mean, "his things"? Isn't that his own symbiotic fruit?
As if sensing the Bodhi Tree's confusion, Ye Ming said calmly, "If you won't give it to me, I'll take it!"
"If you can't hold onto it, then naturally this thing will be mine!"
"Besides, I agreed to help you out of courtesy. Otherwise, I would go out right now, uproot your entire tree, and transplant it directly into my immortal aperture."
"Don't doubt my ability to do this; I think you've already witnessed my methods."
He smiled slightly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, and continued, "Your time is running out. The negative emotions of that Dou Di should clear up soon."
"By then, it won't be your turn to negotiate with me."
The ancient Bodhi tree paused for a while, seemingly digesting Ye Ming's words.
In an instant, its leaves swayed again, and green light spots floated out from its body, hovering in front of Ye Ming.
The light gradually dimmed, revealing a series of crystal-clear Bodhi seeds. A total of twenty-four Bodhi seeds floated in front of him.
Clearly, the Bodhi Tree's actions have demonstrated its decision.
Ultimately, the ancient tree, having developed some intelligence, had no choice but to agree to Ye Ming's request, not wanting to be replaced by the negative emotions of the Dou Di.
Without hesitation, Ye Ming used his rich spiritual foundation and immortal essence as a guide to activate his refining technique, throwing a Bodhi seed into the ball of light in front of him to begin refining it.
The Bodhi seed contains extremely powerful energy, and even refining it using Taoist techniques is quite difficult.
The refining process lasted for about an hour before the Bodhi seed transformed into a crystal-clear liquid. Half an hour later, the liquid slowly evaporated, turning into a wisp of emerald-green vapor.
This wisp of pure energy emerged from the ball of light and merged entirely into the emerald green Bodhi tree before them.
As the ancient Bodhi tree trembled once more, a very faint wisp of black energy silently seeped out, eventually dissipating into nothingness.
Seeing that it was effective, Ye Ming simply sat down. Refining the Bodhi seed takes a long time and cannot be accomplished overnight.
Seeing Ye Ming sit down, the ancient Bodhi tree swayed and released a ball of green light that condensed into an ancient futon, which it respectfully handed to Ye Ming.
As he sat on the futon, he immediately felt a surge of pure energy flowing into his body like a tide. The weariness in his body, and even in his soul, vanished in that instant.
This made him even happier. He had originally intended to move the Bodhi Tree into his own power cultivation aperture to use it as a potted plant to increase resources, but he never expected that the Bodhi Tree would have such a powerful restorative effect.
"I really couldn't miss it!"
Muttering to himself, Ye Ming continued refining the Bodhi seed before him, trying to dispel the negative emotions of the Dou Di for the Bodhi Ancient Tree.
Now that the Bodhi Ancient Tree's intelligence has been compromised, he naturally has to do his best to expel the negative emotions of the Dou Di.
If that Dou Di were to be resurrected through the tree, wouldn't it be a waste of his efforts?
Under Ye Ming's frantic refining, in less than an hour, another Bodhi seed transformed into a wisp of pure energy, rising from the ball of light and merging into the body of the ancient Bodhi tree.
At the same time, a wisp of black energy within it dissipated once more.
Sensing the gradually dissipating black energy, the Bodhi Ancient Tree emitted a wave of excitement. It shook its branches, releasing more pure energy that surged into Ye Ming's body to replenish his energy reserves.
In this cycle, Ye Ming continued to refine these Bodhi seeds.
After a long time, all the Bodhi seeds in front of him had been refined away. When he raised his head, he saw another wisp of black energy being released from the ancient Bodhi tree before him, turning into nothingness and disappearing.
As the wisp of black mist dissipated, the ancient Bodhi tree, which resembled jade, suddenly emitted a buzzing sound, and a dazzling green light emanated from it, enveloping the entire sky.
The vitality within this space became even more abundant.
Looking at the ancient Bodhi tree before him, he had a feeling that the tree seemed to have become much more intelligent.
The faint sinister aura that had originally emanated from the ancient tree had completely disappeared, giving people a strange feeling of holiness and wisdom.
Just then, a branch from the ancient Bodhi tree slowly extended out, like a human hand, and touched Ye Ming's head.
He could sense a feeling of joy from that branch.
Clearly, the negative emotions of the Dou Di on the Bodhi Ancient Tree have been completely eliminated.
A smile appeared on Ye Ming's face; it was harvest season.
A strange sound emanated from the ancient Bodhi tree, and emerald green light burst forth from it, like countless tentacles, pulling Ye Ming, who was sitting cross-legged on the futon, closer to its trunk.
The moment the two touched, a series of peculiar ripples appeared on the tree trunk.
Ye Ming slowly merged into it, sitting cross-legged in the center of the tree trunk like a sculpture, and remained motionless.
The Bodhi tree has three treasures: the Bodhi mind, the Bodhi seed, and enlightenment under the Bodhi tree. The first two are rare treasures for breaking through realms, while the third is more ethereal and elusive.
The Bodhi Tree, also known as the Reincarnation Tree, is said to possess the extraordinary power to allow one to undergo a hundred lifetimes of reincarnation. Those who have experienced this cycle of reincarnation possess the potential to become a Dou Di (Battle Emperor).
A hundred lifetimes of reincarnation!
This was also one of the main purposes for Ye Ming's search for the ancient Bodhi tree.
……
Beneath the Tagor Desert lies an underground world of magma.
Lin Dong was surrounded by rings of black aura, and the power of devouring enveloped his body.
Beneath his crotch was a gigantic two-headed fire serpent.
"Get back on your feet!"
Lin Dong slammed his fist down, and the two-headed fire spirit snake let out a whimper, its aura instantly weakening, and it ceased to resist.
Sitting atop the massive neck of the two-headed fire spirit serpent, Lin Dong sneered, "Take me down here, or I'll beat you to death!"
The two-headed fire spirit serpent whimpered and dared not resist any longer. With a flick of its tail, it burrowed downwards into the magma world.
As the man and the snake descended, the surrounding temperature rose higher and higher. However, the devouring power on Lin Dong's body was like a top-tier armor with incomparably strong defensive capabilities, blocking all the heat from the outside.
After descending for more than twenty minutes, Lin Dong suddenly discovered a bright blue light shining brightly in the magma below.
He patted the two-headed fire spirit snake's head, loosened his restraints, and swam downwards alone.
Upon seeing this, the two-headed fire spirit snake suddenly flicked its tail and disappeared in a flash, as if it were terrified of Lin Dong.
Lin Dong ignored the two-headed fire spirit snake and swam towards the cyan light on his own.
A moment later, he had arrived within the area enveloped by the azure light. Looking closely, he saw a graceful azure lotus flower standing within the azure light.
"The Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, ranked nineteenth on the list of extraordinary flames, possesses unfathomable power. Near volcanic areas, it can trigger volcanic eruptions..."
Lin Dong looked at the somewhat blurry lotus flower shrouded in azure light and stroked his chin, saying, "I wonder if Medusa beat me to it."
Without further hesitation, he strode toward the center of the blue light.
After breaking through the cyan light, Lin Dong looked at the lotus flower at the center of the light.
The blue lotus flower has eight leaves, each leaf resembling a perfectly formed, naturally beautiful blue jade, crystal clear and breathtakingly beautiful.
Inside the lotus flower is a small lotus platform about two or three feet in size. In some holes on the platform are lotus seeds formed from pure fire-attribute energy.
Beneath the blue lotus, there were extremely slender lotus roots. These roots were embedded in the magma, frantically absorbing the fire-attribute energy of the surrounding magma world.
This blue lotus flower floated in the endless lava, like a duckweed on the sea.
However, when Lin Dong looked at the lotus platform in the lotus, a strange expression appeared on his face.
In the center of the lotus platform, there was a hole the size of a fist, but it was empty.
Looking at the empty lotus heart, Lin Dong rubbed his chin: "I didn't expect that even though I arrived so early, Medusa had already taken away the Azure Lotus Core Flame."
"Looks like I'll have to make another trip to the snake people's tribe."
This was a task given to him by Ye Ming himself. Although it was to gather different kinds of fire for that guy Xu Qi'an, he had no choice.
They dared not disobey the orders of the main body.
Moreover, Lin Dong also knew that the entire Dou Qi Continent had already been thrown into turmoil by the commotion caused by Xu Qi'an and Long Aotian.
The whirlwind stirred up by this giant butterfly has completely disrupted the plot of "Battle Through the Heavens".
Their control over the plot has diminished considerably.
This also proves that Ye Ming himself is ready to overturn the table. Before that, naturally, they need to improve their own strength as much as possible.
Lin Dong looked at the lotus platform in front of him, reached out and beckoned, and a seven-colored scale flew into his hand.
Seeing the seven-colored scales, Lin Dong confirmed his guess.
"Fortunately, the butterfly whirlwind hasn't tangled the threads here. At least the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame was indeed taken by Medusa."
After carefully storing the seven-colored scales, he took out a jade ruler from his storage space.
Reaching the lotus flower, Lin Dong waved his hand, gently separating the part of the lotus stem from its base.
The lotus platform containing the core fire of the Azure Lotus gently fell into his hands.
After carefully storing the lotus platform, Lin Dong didn't hesitate any longer. He turned around and entered the magma world, rushing upwards.
A moment later, Lin Dong appeared above the ancient city. He took out a yellowed sheepskin scroll map from his storage space, glanced at it, and his gaze fell on the coordinates above which were drawn a beautiful snake woman.
The next moment, the space in front of him rippled, revealing a passageway. Without hesitation, Lin Dong stepped into it.
The Tagor Desert is all yellow sand, but there are still some oases in the desert.
These oases are covered with lush green grass, towering ancient trees, and lakes that are known as the source of life in the desert.
Deep in the desert, a space suddenly shattered, and Lin Dong, dressed in black, slowly walked out from it.
After glancing around at his surroundings, he sped off in one direction.
About fifteen minutes later, a massive tribal fortress slowly appeared on the distant horizon.
The fortress was brightly lit.
Suddenly, darkness enveloped Lin Dong, and he merged into this darkness, using the night to travel.
The vast darkness of night is the domain of the Dark Ancestral Symbol.
Lin Dong sensed that in the snake-man fortress below, countless snake-men were constantly patrolling, each holding a torch.
However, these snake-men were completely unprepared for the vast darkness above.
Soon, under the cover of night, Lin Dong arrived at the temple city in the middle of the fortress, where the Snake-People Queen resided.
His gaze swept across the city wall, where he noticed many snake-men guards. Among these snake-men, there were also some with rather strange attire.
However vigilant these snake-men were, they still failed to detect Lin Dong, who had completely blended into the darkness.
Lin Dong floated into the Snake-Man Temple right under the noses of the guards.
Taking advantage of the darkness, he entered directly into the interior of the Serpent God Temple, into the royal hall of Queen Medusa.
As he entered the hall, his gaze was drawn to the scene above.
On that throne, a figure lay on his side, his right hand supporting his chin resting on the right armrest of the throne.
She wore a magnificent purple brocade robe, beneath which her voluptuous figure, like a ripe peach, exuded a subtle allure.
Her long, black hair cascaded down her shoulders, reaching her slender waist. Beneath her brocade robe, a section of purple snake tail was visible.
The snake's tail swayed slightly, releasing a wild and alluring charm that inexplicably made one feel hot all over.
Lin Dong's gaze swept over the almost perfect body, finally settling on that beautiful face.
Even though he had imagined what the woman would look like, his heart still trembled slightly at this moment.
flirtatious!
Beneath that alluring beauty lies a regal air of nobility and grace, captivating yet deadly.
Lin Dong looked at the stunning figure, chuckled, and shook his head: "Queen Medusa, huh..." (End of Chapter)
