231: Worried about me? I'd be grateful if you don't cause more trouble!

Deep within the Desolate Ancient Domain.

A colossal Bodhi Ancient Tree stood solitarily in the center of the grassland.

Vast, clear Qi emanated from it.

Continuously spreading in all directions, it looked extraordinarily magnificent.

"Where did Gu Fei Ge Ge go?"

"Based on Gu Fei Ge Ge's speed, he should have arrived here much earlier..."

Beyond a thousand zhang from the trunk of the massive Bodhi Ancient Tree, Xun'er sat cross-legged.

She had maintained the same posture for over half a month.

Previously, most of the people who had teamed up with Xun'er to Breakthrough the beast tide were doing the same.

Because many people, upon arriving here and seeing the bodhi heart, wanted to attack the Bodhi Ancient Tree and seize the Opportunity; however, their attacks were too weak, not even damaging the Bodhi Ancient Tree's bark.

As time passed, these people grew tired of attacking and stopped, sitting cross-legged around the Bodhi Ancient Tree to await the arrival of treasures.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

On this quiet grassland, a sudden whooshing sound echoed.

"There's movement!"

Witnessing this movement, the hundreds of people currently sitting cross-legged outside the Bodhi Ancient Tree all became excited. After waiting for so long, they all felt that the Bodhi Ancient Tree was finally about to release the bodhi heart and the bodhi seed.

"Gu Fei Ge Ge might have been delayed by something..."

"Very well, if that's the case, then this time, with the Bodhi Ancient Tree's appearance and its many Opportunities, I shall seize them for the clan..."

"Once I return with the treasures, everyone in the clan, including Gu Fei Ge Ge, will surely look at me with approving eyes..."

Xun'er opened her eyes, now filled with Battle Intent. She was confident she could stand out among these hundreds of people and obtain the treasures.

As Xun'er pondered.

The Bodhi Ancient Tree, which had stood motionless in the center of the grassland for almost a month, suddenly erupted with dazzling emerald green light.

Immediately, figures awkwardly darted out from within that light.

"Hmm, why are they people?"

Seeing this scene, those around who were eager to snatch treasures were all dumbfounded.

The treasure-spitting phenomenon they had anticipated did not occur; clearly, someone had gotten there first.

"Finally out!"

The few Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan members who had miraculously survived took deep breaths of the fresh air on the grassland, feeling a sense of relief after escaping a disaster.

Outsiders could never have imagined.

The terrifying dangers they had experienced in that short month.

That kind of dreadful illusion.

Even long afterward, they would probably still remember it vividly.

Gu Fei also let out a light breath.

In this past month, his changes were naturally the most significant.

A month in the eyes of outsiders, yet it had made him experience a hundred lifetimes of Reincarnation.

Reincarnation Cultivate, though it did not truly cause his strength to skyrocket to a terrifying level.

But unknowingly, it left behind things that would affect his future.

"Gu Fei Ge Ge..."

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

She moved swiftly, quickly arriving by Gu Fei's side.

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

Seeing Xun'er appear beside him, Gu Fei almost subconsciously frowned, his tone containing some blame.

"I, I was worried about you..."

Hearing Gu Fei's blame, Xun'er lowered her head and explained softly, though her heart was filled with joy at this moment.

Normally, Gu Fei would barely respond to her.

Now, he was actually willing to blame her, which was a significant change.

"Worried about me?"

"It would be good if you didn't cause me trouble!"

Gu Fei said coldly.

He was a Four-Star Dou Sheng; even if something happened, what help could Xun'er, a Dou Zun Peak, provide? It was simply a joke!

"Buzz! Buzz!"

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

Under the spread of this light, the ground seemed to turn into liquid.

And the Bodhi Ancient Tree slowly sank into the ground along with that liquid.

Seeing the Bodhi Ancient Tree about to submerge into the ground.

Many people's expressions changed slightly.

Immediately, their hearts were filled with unwillingness.

Once the Bodhi Ancient Tree entered the ground, even a Dou Sheng powerhouse would be unable to find it.

That is to say, to see it again, one would have to wait until the next time, ten thousand years later, when the Bodhi Ancient Tree reappeared.

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

There, a translucent green heart, like emerald jade, floated.

This was the legendary bodhi heart, but Gu Fei had not yet refined it.

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

Gu Fei gazed at the Bodhi Ancient Tree, which was sinking deeper and deeper into the ground, and murmured softly.

He also felt a slight regret in his heart.

This Bodhi Ancient Tree had not formed true sentience; otherwise, it would surely become a true Peak powerhouse on the Fighting Qi Continent.

"Boom!"

Under the gaze of many eyes, the Bodhi Ancient Tree finally slowly submerged into the ground.

With the disappearance of the last wisp of emerald green light, this grassland once again became empty.

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

"Right, everyone attack together!"

As the Bodhi Ancient Tree disappeared, the powerhouses from the continent who had been waiting so bitterly now all turned their gaze to Gu Fei and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan members, because they had just been ejected from the Bodhi Ancient Tree.

For a moment, waves of killing intent permeated the air.

"How dare you!"

Seeing this, Xun'er coldly reprimanded.

"If you want treasures, just find him. All the bodhi seed, including the legendary bodhi heart, were taken by him!"

Seeing the movements of the surrounding powerhouses, Jiu Feng subconsciously pointed at Gu Fei.

He was worried that Gu Fei would settle accounts later, so he wanted these people to hold Gu Fei back, buying time for his Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan members to escape.

After he finished speaking, a spatial fluctuation emanated from the now silent grassland.

Everyone looked, and it turned out to be the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan members tearing space apart.

They wanted to escape through the void.

"Heh, to escape under my nose, you, Jiu Feng, don't have that qualification!"

Gu Fei glanced at him disdainfully.

Then, he extended his palm and gently clenched it in the direction where Jiu Feng was.

The next moment, Jiu Feng's body immediately exploded as if subjected to immense pressure.

A Dou Zun Peak, a powerhouse on the verge of stepping into Half-Saint, was so effortlessly killed by someone; for a moment, all those who had originally intended to act recoiled.

What was the difference between snatching treasures from such a terrifying powerhouse and seeking death?
