Peerless Battle Spirit

Chapter 1918 - Tree of Spirit



Chapter 1918 - Tree of Spirit

“Strange, this is so weird, it contains an extremely faint murderous intent.”

The astonishment in Doom’s eyes grew stronger.

Why would a malicious presence exist here in the Bodhi Pond?

“Is that so?”

Qin Nan activated the left eye of the Divine God of Battle.

Not far below them was an ashen gray light. He could barely see a black land under the light.

It was some kind of forbidding aura, but Qin Nan did not detect any murderous intent from it.

“Let’s try if we can go inside it.”

Qin Nan probed the formation with his immortal force after a slight ponder.

The immortal force soon dissipated after entering the formation. It did not show any reaction.

“Tsk tsk, this Bodhi Pond is quite interesting.”

Doom squinted and said, “Qin Nan, I have a speculation about it, I believe this space is the reason why Old Buddha Nantai has asked you to stay in the Bodhi Pond.”

Qin Nan nodded. He shared the same thought too.

Doom added, “Why…why don’t we take a look inside? If Old Buddha Nantai has put in so much effort to make sure you found this unusual place, we should be able to find some unexpected loots in it.”

“You’re right.”

Qin Nan went through the ashen gray light and landed on the black land.

He scanned his surroundings. It was extremely dark. A mysterious force had restricted Qin Nan’s vision too. He could only see at most twenty zhang away.

“Not only is the presence of Qi extremely faint in here, it doesn’t have the slightest presence of Bodhi intent either.”

Qin Nan’s eyes flickered with astonishment. He was extremely curious. He slowly moved forward.

He could not afford to lower his guard in the mysterious space. He had activated his immortal force and was ready to unleash the Tree of Dao or the White-Blue Flower at any time.

Meanwhile, above the Bodhi Pond…

“The outsider’s aura seems to have stopped above the place,” a statue opened its eyes as it noticed something.

“Should we take a look? It’s going to be a problem if he goes inside the place,” another statue said sternly.

“That won’t be necessary. No Exceptional Genius had managed to find a way into it in the past few hundred years,” the third statue said while shaking its head. “Besides, we aren’t allowed to go inside the Bodhi Pond.”

The fourth statue said, “That’s right! Even if the outsider did go inside the place, the Bodhi Pond will react in a few moments. It’s not too late for us to kill him until then.”

The outsider might have the talisman given by Old Buddha Nantai, but they would not hesitate to kill him if he went inside the place.

However, they did not notice an invisible force entering the formation protecting the space inside the Bodhi Pond. It infiltrated the Bodhi intent and was trying to conceal something.

Meanwhile, the mysterious space under the Bodhi Pond…

Qin Nan had walked for a few li, yet he did not see anything apart from the darkness looming over the place.

“Mm? What is this?”

He suddenly came to a stop. He fixed his eyes on three irregular black crystals that were scattered three zhang away from him.

He briefly sensed an unusual aura, yet it was already gone when he took a closer look at them, as if they were just three ordinary crystals.

“I shall take a few of them.”

Qin Nan grabbed the crystals decisively.

A huge pressure immediately surged within his heart, as if he was trying to lift an enormous mountain instead of a small black crystal.

“Interesting!”

Immortal flames flickered in Qin Nan’s eyes. He immediately unleashed all his immortal force and even executed the Dragon-Soaring Immortal Art to summon an enormous dragon claw.

However, the pressure rose further instead of weakening!

“This place is really something!” Doom could not help but exclaim.

Qin Nan had now reached the early stage of the Peerless Ruler. His strength when he unleashed his immortal force was already quite terrifying.

Yet, he still failed to lift the crystal. It clearly indicated how extraordinary it was.

“Forget it, let’s keep going.”

Qin Nan shook his head after a few failed attempts. He ventured deeper.

He did not find any mysterious black crystals further ahead. The three crystals were the only ones left.

However, he did see a lot of bones.

The bones were not complete. They only consisted of a segment of a finger or a leg. He did not sense any aura from the bones.

Qin Nan tried applying his immortal force on the bones. They shattered into pieces right away.

“Is that…a tree?”

Qin Nan came to a stop once again. He wore a confused look.

He noticed the faint outline of an enormous tree in the darkness ahead. Its branches and trunk felt unreal, as if they were only drawn with some simple strokes of a brush.

“Holy crap, wait a second!”

Doom rose to his feet inside the Heaven-Repairing Cauldron. His eyes widened as he looked at the ancient tree carefully. He took a deep breath.

“If I’m not mistaken, it’s very likely that the ancient tree is one of the Ten Ancient Trees, the Tree of Spirit! Rumors say that the tree doesn’t exist physically, and in it reside countless homeless souls!”

Qin Nan’s heart shuddered after hearing Doom’s words.

The Ten Ancient Trees, Six Stalks of Grass, and Three Flowers were incredible immortal artifacts from the Undying Cycle Mountain. Each one of them possessed ridiculous power.

Unlike the seal of the Ancient Yuelu, the Tree of Spirit was here right before their eyes!

“Hang on!”

Doom blurted out with a stern voice as he suddenly thought of something.

“What is it? Is there any danger?” Qin Nan asked.

“Not really,” Doom shook his head and said, “I once saw from an ancient text that the tree is born evil. A demon cultivator once refined it and used it to devour the souls of many experts.”

“The tree can be considered an evil artifact in some ways, yet why would the Ancient Bodhi Temple keep it here?”

Qin Nan’s eyes glittered.

The Bodhi Pond was meant to convert cultivators and great evils forcibly. Why did they not purify the artifact but keep it hidden inside the space instead?

Besides, there was the murderous intent when they first went through the ashen gray light too.

A voice suddenly appeared while the man and the beast were lost in their thoughts.
