946. Warcraft Phenomenon
Xiao Yan originally intended to take his two disciples directly back to the Starfall Pavilion, but before the spatial teleportation was even halfway complete, his Heavenly Realm soul perception detected an anomaly.
Xiao Yan's current soul power allows him to perceive everything very clearly, and it is because of this that he "saw" something amiss in the places he passed by.
"This is……"
Xiao Yan frowned and led his two disciples out of the prepared spatial vortex, landing on a mountaintop.
Upon seeing this, not only Xiao Yan, but even his two disciples who were only at the Dou Shi level noticed something was amiss.
Below, amidst the mountains, countless magical beasts raced headlong in one direction. These beasts were of various races and varying in strength; their behavior was not typical of any one species. It seemed as if instinct drove them, pushing them forward recklessly.
Although the distant view was unclear, it was a dark mass of numerous demonic beasts overlapping and intertwining, with deafening roars echoing continuously.
Meanwhile, this level of unusual activity by magical beasts has already attracted the attention of many powerful human beings.
Many figures were in mid-air, but they were all extremely cautious. The beastmen's movements were too great, and they risked being attacked by the horde if they weren't careful. Fortunately, these magical beasts weren't really concerned about them and didn't deliberately attack humans.
"Have these guys gone mad?" Huo Fan, the Yan Clan girl, was secretly shocked by the scene before her. She had never seen anything like it before. Although she was safe with Xiao Yan's protection, she was still stunned by what she saw.
Yan Xiao tried to calm down a bit. Looking at the scene of thousands of beasts stampeding, he analyzed, "Different kinds of magical beasts are completely ignoring their surroundings and only charging in one direction. It seems there is something extraordinary there."
Xiao Yan was also staring at the situation before him. Unlike his two disciples, he couldn't rely solely on his eyesight to observe. His soul power instantly began to spread out, bypassing all the demonic beasts and heading towards their destination at an unimaginable speed.
His soul power clearly sensed the direction of the demonic beast's charge; there really was something there!
An immense and boundless life force continuously emanated from the core, and it was this aura that attracted an astonishing number of magical beasts.
Because of the distance, Xiao Yan couldn't perceive it clearly, but the life force of the plants was incredibly powerful.
"The scent of top-grade herbs." Although Xiao Yan couldn't confirm exactly what it was, it wasn't hard to tell from the scent that it was definitely a top-grade herb.
Even after learning this information, Xiao Yan still frowned, because the information he received through his soul perception did not dispel his confusion.
The scent of herbs does indeed attract magical beasts, regardless of their grade; the higher the grade, the stronger the beasts attracted. However, the scene before us is truly astonishing. All the magical beasts seem to have lost their minds, charging towards that direction recklessly. Even the core herbs needed for a ninth-grade elixir shouldn't have triggered such a massive beast tide.
Something's strange.
Xiao Yan also felt a warning bell ringing in his heart. The more alarming the situation, the more he needed to stay calm. If he rushed in without understanding anything, it would be no different from courting death.
Then, Xiao Yan activated his soul power, and his Three Thousand Thunder Illusions instantly appeared. At the same time, Xiao Yan activated the spatial imprint hidden in his body, opened a temporary passage to another space, and drove his Three Thousand Thunder Illusions into the Heavenly Tomb.
Xiao Yan himself was unaware of the situation, but he was certain it wouldn't be difficult for Xiao Xuan.
As expected, after the three thousand lightning avatars told Xiao Xuan everything they had seen, he pondered for a moment before explaining, "Although it is different from the previous situation, I judge that it is most likely that the Bodhi Ancient Tree has been born."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan murmured, "It's the Bodhi Ancient Tree, which is said to be one of the top three treasures of the continent. No wonder it has caused such chaos."
Knowing that Xiao Yan had never seen the Bodhi Tree in person, Xiao Xuan explained to him, "The Bodhi Tree is a treasure of the continent, a top-tier plant spirit. It takes hundreds of years for it to bear fruit once, making it extremely rare."
"The Bodhi seeds alone from the Bodhi Ancient Tree are already top-grade ingredients for ninth-rank elixirs. The other two of the Bodhi Ancient Tree's three treasures—the Bodhi Heart and enlightenment under the Bodhi Tree—are the best opportunities to advance to the Dou Sheng realm. Even during my many years in power, I only encountered the Bodhi Ancient Tree appearing once. Although you've already advanced to Dou Sheng, and the timing of your encounter with the Bodhi Ancient Tree isn't the best, it's still an extremely rare opportunity. You must seize it!"
Xiao Xuan told Xiao Yan all the information he knew about the Bodhi Tree so that he could be prepared to enter it.
"Moreover, the appearance of the Bodhi Tree caused a great stir, so it's best to seize the opportunity now and get inside!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan nodded. Even his own ancestor had praised this opportunity, so its importance was self-evident. Since the Bodhi Ancient Tree involved a Dou Sheng opportunity, even though Xiao Yan himself couldn't use it now, many important friends and partners around him needed to advance to Dou Sheng. For whatever reason, Xiao Yan had to take the plunge.
"Once we arrive around the ancient Bodhi tree, is there anything we need to be wary of?"
Xiao Xuan nodded and said, "The Bodhi Ancient Tree possesses immense power; I even feel it has developed complete wisdom. Therefore, to gain the Bodhi Ancient Tree's approval, one must undergo a series of trials. The most important of these is one's own mindset; many people unconsciously fall into the illusions created by the Bodhi Ancient Tree."
"As for the content of the illusion, it will vary from person to person, but one thing is certain: the older you are, the more you will be resisted by the Bodhi Tree. Your advantage is your youth. As long as you keep your mind focused and don't try too hard, I believe you will gain a lot."
"Alright, Xiao Yan understands."
After finishing his conversation with Xiao Xuan, Xiao Yan realized that his two disciples were quietly waiting for his opinion.
"Since the Bodhi Ancient Tree is related to the opportunity of the Battle Saint, there will probably be considerable trouble after entering it. These two little guys are not suitable to come with me."
Huo Fan and Yan Xiao don't yet have the strength to protect themselves, so it's impossible for Xiao Yan to take them along to seek opportunities. He also doesn't feel comfortable leaving them here.
"I didn't expect we'd have to use this so soon."
Xiao Yan took out a spatial jade slip from his storage ring, then crushed it without hesitation. Using his powerful soul force as a location, a spatial vortex was immediately opened, and a crimson figure appeared in front of Xiao Yan a moment later.
"Young friend Xiao Yan, I didn't expect to meet you so soon."
