225: Xun'er: Brother Gu Fei, please take me with you!

"Husband, what do these words mean?"

Caier and Xiao Yi Xian frowned almost simultaneously as they looked at the ancient lines of text.

"Two moons appearing together, nine stars as one—it speaks of a special celestial phenomenon!"

"This phenomenon occurs only once every thousand years, and the Heaven and Earth Tide is an anomaly caused by this celestial event!"

"The last sentence means that on the day the Heaven and Earth Tide appears, the Purification Lotus Demon Flame will also descend upon this world..."

Gu Fei explained with a smile.

"Only once every thousand years?"

Xiao Yi Xian looked disappointed; this time was a bit too long.

"The last time this celestial anomaly appeared was 997 years ago, which means the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame will descend upon the world in three years!"

Gu Fei explained with a smile.

As for why this is the case, it's because the Seal set up by the Pure Lotus Demon Saint will be severely weakened during the Heaven and Earth Tide.

The Purification Lotus Demon Flame will only choose to Breakthrough the Seal at this time.

By then, many people in the world will clearly perceive the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame's arrival.

And this complete remnant map was a contingency left behind by the Pure Lotus Demon Saint back then.

"So that's how it is..."

Xiao Yi Xian and Caier nodded.

At this moment, Gu Fei's palm touched the ancient map.

In that instant, the demon lotus pattern on the ancient map suddenly wriggled, as if alive, transforming into a bolt of lightning that shot directly into Gu Fei's glabella!

The sudden change caused Caier and Xiao Yi Xian, who were beside him, to change their expressions drastically!

"Husband!"

Caier and Xiao Yi Xian's pretty faces turned pale with fright.

This ancient map was too bizarre, and no one knew whether that thing was good or bad.

"Don't worry, it's nothing..."

Gu Fei gave the two women a reassuring smile; his Soul Power sensed the white light cluster residing in his glabella.

Gu Fei wasn't worried at all that this white light cluster would harm him.

"What was that just now?"

"This was left behind by the Pure Lotus Demon Saint from back then... that person who was closest to a Dou Di!"

Gu Fei explained, "Although the Pure Lotus Demon Saint is described as somewhat sinister in records, he was also considered upright and honorable, so he shouldn't resort to any overly despicable methods..."

"Ah..."

Caier's face showed worry again.

Because Gu Fei's reason was a bit too far-fetched, it was as good as saying nothing.

He was just holding onto a hopeful mentality.

However, seeing Gu Fei so certain that nothing would happen, Caier didn't continue to ask.

Because Gu Fei never did anything he wasn't confident about.

"Alright, let's head back to the Ancient World first!" Gu Fei ignored the object in his glabella and took the two women back to the Ancient World... Half a month later.

Ancient World.

In a grand hall.

Several Gu Clan Elders sat in the high seats.

Below, a gathering of young Gu Clan powerhouses was present, mostly high-level Dou Zuns.

Among them, Gu Qingyang and Xun'er were at the Peak of Dou Zun, currently impacting the Half-Saint level.

"The Bodhi Ancient Tree is about to appear; this time, it will be up to you, the younger generation, to go, as a form of tempering..."

A Gu Clan Elder said with a smile.

Even an Opportunity like the Bodhi Ancient Tree wasn't given too much importance by them.

After all, the bodhi heart, a treasure rumored to only have the effect of allowing one to instantly become a Saint.

For these Gu Clan Dou Saints, the bodhi heart seemed to hold little attraction.

Of course, another part of the reason was that the bodhi heart wasn't always obtainable.

Furthermore, such matters were ancient history, merely rumors, and no one could confirm them.

"Don't worry, we will definitely achieve Perfection in this competition for the Bodhi Ancient Tree..."

Gu Qingyang and the others spoke in unison.

"They should stay in the Ancient World this time; I will go personally..."

Just then, Gu Fei appeared in the great hall.

His words caused doubt in everyone's hearts.

"Young Master Gu Fei, what do you mean?"

A Gu Clan Elder politely inquired.

"This time, I will claim all the Opportunities of the Bodhi Ancient Tree; they don't need to go..." Gu Fei repeated himself.

Currently, the Gu Clan and the Hun Clan were already in various open confrontations.

If the young Prodigies of the Gu Clan were to continue going for tempering, they might very well be ambushed by Hun Clan powerhouses of the Dou Saint Realm.

Because the Hun Clan would try to avenge the previous several defeats.

"Alright, since Young Master Gu Fei has this idea, then it's decided!"

As Gu Fei's words fell, the several Gu Clan Elders in the great hall all agreed.

Currently, Gu Fei's influence ranked among the top five in the Ancient World.

"Brother Gu Fei, this is a rare tempering Opportunity; please let me go with you..." Xun'er looked intently at Gu Fei, a hint of hope in her eyes.

During the last trip to the Heavenly Tomb, she had experienced Gu Fei's concern for her, and this time in the Desolate Ancient Domain, she also wanted to create an Opportunity for them to be alone.

"Take you? To make you a burden?" Gu Fei unhesitatingly rejected Xun'er's request.

"Young Miss Xun'er, you possess Divine Grade Bloodline; the Hun Clan previously had intentions to harm you. This time, it's better not to go!" A Gu Clan Elder also spoke at this moment.

Gu Qingyang, Gu Yao, and others also did not refute Gu Fei's words, because they believed Gu Fei must have his own reasons for doing so.

"Why can't I go..."

Xun'er was very disappointed at this moment; she realized that today, the difference in influence between her and Gu Fei in the Gu Clan was so immense.

A single word from Gu Fei could make the Elder Council decide not to let the other young people go to the Desolate Ancient Domain.

After Gu Fei finished speaking, he left the Ancient World alone. This time, he did not bring anyone with him, fearing a Hun Clan ambush.

Outside, for the past half-month, Central Plains had fallen into a state of agitation.

Countless factions had already dispatched advance teams to approach the Desolate Ancient Domain.

However, the true main forces had not yet truly set off.

Because they were waiting, waiting for the moment to confirm that the intelligence was indeed true.

When Gu Fei left the Ancient World, a ray of morning light suddenly broke free from the earth's constraints, casting sunlight upon the continent. In the northeastern sky of Central Plains, an extremely special clear Qi, like waves, suddenly swept across the sky.

Across the continent, anyone who inhaled this clear Qi almost invariably saw the same image deep in their minds.

It was an ancient, towering tree.

A sense of wisdom emanated from the ancient tree!

This was the Bodhi Ancient Tree!

In that instant, Central Plains was finally completely stirred up!

"Brother Gu Fei, if you don't let me go, I'll go anyway..."

About an hour after Gu Fei left the Ancient World, Xun'er secretly departed the Ancient World and headed towards the northeast of Central Plains.
