That illusion had formed automatically because of that evil aura. It wasn’t the true intention of the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree.

Over countless years, no one even knew how many powerful experts had lost themselves completely within that illusion, turning into nothing more than walking corpses. Wei Yang was an exception. He woke up at the very last moment.

As for Xiao Yan, if not for the familiar aura emitted by the Bodhisattva Seed in his hand awakening the deepest remnants of the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree’s true consciousness, neither of them would have ended up here.

Right now, the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree essentially housed two sets of consciousness inside its body, two different personalities.

One was its original consciousness, which could be considered its kind, good-natured side. The other had been produced because of the black-clothed Dou Di’s negative emotions. This second consciousness leaned toward evil and coldness.

”So, the reason you brought us here is because you want us to help you get rid of that evil consciousness?” Wei Yang narrowed his eyes and asked quietly.

Beside him, Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow, thoughtful. If that was all, then at least it meant the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree had no malicious intent toward them. It was simply asking for help.

Swoosh.

In response to Wei Yang’s words, the ancient tree suddenly swayed, as if nodding.

A faint glint flashed in Wei Yang’s eyes, but he deliberately spread his hands helplessly and said, ”You think too highly of us. That thing was left behind by a Dou Di. You yourself couldn’t deal with it after countless years, so how are we supposed to?”

Xiao Yan immediately nodded in agreement. He truly felt Wei Yang was right to refuse. They really shouldn’t get involved in this matter. After all, even the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree—so powerful—had been left half-ruined by the Dou Di’s negative emotions.

With their tiny bodies, they wouldn’t even survive a second. If they weren’t careful and accidentally drew those negative emotions onto themselves, that would be guaranteed death.

Who dared guess at the methods of a Dou Di?

Rustle.

At that moment, another glowing sphere emerged from within the ancient tree. Inside the sphere, an image appeared. It showed a flame, and then a Bodhisattva Seed. The flame refined the Bodhisattva Seed, releasing a pure aura that then flowed into the ancient tree’s body.

As that pure aura entered, the coldness surrounding the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree visibly weakened.

”You want us to use a Bodhisattva Seed to get rid of your internal negative emotions?” Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment. Then he looked down suspiciously at the Bodhisattva Seed in his own hand. ”But we only have this one impure Bodhisattva Seed. You think this is enough?”

Swoosh.

The ancient tree shook its trunk, and suddenly countless green specks of light floated out from within, finally hovering before the two of them.

As the glow faded, the two were both shocked. Those light specks were all Bodhisattva Seeds. Based on their crystal-clear appearance, they were clearly many times purer than the one in Xiao Yan’s hand.

Pure aura spread out from them, and with each breath, their souls felt comforted and cleansed. These things were extremely beneficial—an enormous boost—to the soul!

”One, two, three... thirty-six in total!”

Xiao Yan counted the thirty-six pure Bodhisattva Seeds, and the corner of his mouth couldn’t help but twitch.

Bodhisattva Seeds might not be as terrifyingly effective as a Bodhisattva Heart, but they could greatly increase the success rate of stepping into Dou Sheng, especially when refined into Bodhisattva Pills, which would boost their effectiveness even further.

In the outside world, even the impure, flawed Bodhisattva Seed he currently held was enough to trigger a frenzy among countless strong experts. But now, the Bodhisattva Seeds that were nearly impossible to find outside—thirty-six of them—were suddenly floating right before him.

It was so unreal that Xiao Yan even wondered for a moment if he were dreaming. For a second, Xiao Yan actually had the urge to grab all thirty-six Bodhisattva Seeds and run for his life.

With these thirty-six pure Bodhisattva Seeds, who even needed the Bodhisattva Heart anymore?! Refining thirty-six Bodhisattva Pills—hell, even a pig could be force-fed into becoming a Dou Sheng!

But that thought could only stay in his mind. He definitely didn’t dare act on it. In front of a powerhouse of this level, even if it didn’t possess a complete spiritual intelligence, just one instinctive movement from it would be enough to kill both of them several times over.

Fortunately, it didn’t have a fully developed mind and was still muddle-headed. Because of that, it naturally had no ambitions. Otherwise, on today’s Dou Qi Continent, there truly wouldn’t be anyone capable of opposing it.

If that happened, the entire continent would end up being ruled by a tree. Just thinking about it was ridiculous.

”Using Bodhisattva Seeds to dispel negative emotions is way too wasteful.” Xiao Yan looked at the Bodhisattva Seeds floating before him and couldn’t help but mutter softly.

Wei Yang also felt a wave of toothache.

Even though these things didn’t belong to them, the mere thought of having to use their Heavenly Flames to refine them made his heart ache to the point of numbness. This was basically committing a crime against heaven!

Rustle, rustle~

While the two of them were heartbroken, the ancient tree began trembling again, as if urging them.

”Brother Wei, what do we do?” Xiao Yan asked with a bitter smile.

”What else can we do? Just do it. It’s not our stuff anyway.” Wei Yang shrugged.

”But.” Wei Yang’s gaze swept toward the glowing clusters surrounding the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree, ”Hey, Bodhisattva Ancient Tree, if you want us to help you, fine. But you better keep an eye on them and make sure nothing happens to them.”

As he spoke, he pointed at the glowing clusters where Xian’er and the others were, ”These people are with us. They’re our family and friends. Watch them carefully, don’t let them completely lose themselves.”

As for Hun Yu and the others, he naturally couldn’t care less. If they died, they deserved it.

”Yeah, Bodhisattva Ancient Tree, keep an eye on them. If something happens to them, then you might as well kill us too. No point in us living then.” Xiao Yan hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Rustle, rustle~

The Bodhisattva Ancient Tree shook lightly to express its understanding. Then, the glowing clusters connected to Wei Yang and Xiao Yan were moved aside, indicating they would receive special attention.

Seeing this, the two finally relaxed. As long as their consciousness wasn’t completely lost, it was fine. Suffering a bit inside the illusion wasn’t a big deal.

Rustle, rustle~

The Bodhisattva Ancient Tree shook again, urging them. The two exchanged a look. Each extended a hand as black flames and purple-brown flames rose. Then, each grabbed a Bodhisattva Seed and tossed it into the fire.

As the refining began, the atmosphere once again grew quiet. Only the sound of burning flames and the subtle rustling of the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree’s trembling branches echoed softly.

Within each Bodhisattva Seed was extremely pure and powerful energy. Even with Heavenly Flames helping and their own strength being quite high, refining them was still extremely difficult.

Compared to when they refined the Dou Sheng Bone Marrow back then, this wasn’t any easier. The refining continued for about an hour before the Bodhisattva Seed inside the flames slowly melted into a crystal-clear liquid.

Another half hour passed before that liquid gradually evaporated completely, turning into a wisp of dense, emerald-green essence. That wisp of essence seeped out from the flames, swirling briefly before drilling entirely into the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree’s jade-like trunk.

As the essence entered, the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree trembled intensely. A faint thread of black mist was quietly expelled from its body and dissipated into nothingness.

With Wei Yang finishing his refinement, Xiao Yan on the other side completed his first Bodhisattva Seed at nearly the same pace. Seeing this, Wei Yang smiled slightly. He had deliberately kept the same refining speed as Xiao Yan.

Because next, it was time to collect the benefits.
