Chu Yang smiled with satisfaction and said, "Now that you've gotten rid of those negative emotions, can we communicate normally now?"
The ancient Bodhi tree swayed its trunk, conveying a sense of helplessness.
Clearly, its simple intelligence is insufficient for it to communicate with humans without barriers.
Ao Ting's true form is the Nine Profound Golden Thunder after a qualitative change, which can be considered the ceiling level of non-intelligent treasures in the Dou Qi Continent. Therefore, the process of gathering spiritual energy is extremely difficult, and he almost failed in the terrifying heavenly tribulation.
Compared to Ao Ting, the Bodhi Ancient Tree is far superior, so it is already quite remarkable that it was able to generate consciousness in terms of state. If it wanted to gather spiritual energy, it would be almost impossible.
"Then I'll ask you some simple questions..."
Chu Yang stroked his chin. "Why did you appear in the Desolate Ancient Domain?"
What secrets does the Desolate Ancient Domain hold?
What secrets are hidden in the historical gaps of the Dou Qi Continent?
The ancient Bodhi tree trembled, emitting a strong emotional fluctuation, as if it were saying...
You call these simple questions?
But a moment later, a scene unfolded before Chu Yang.
That was the Desolate Ancient Domain. However, compared to now, the Desolate Ancient Domain in the picture was full of life, with powerful magical beasts everywhere. Any one of them was inferior to the three major magical beast races today, making it a paradise for magical beasts.
The scene shifts to a desolate ancient region engulfed in war, devoid of life, with nearly half of the area shrouded in a gray-black mist.
The mist was like a plague; any magical beasts affected by it turned their eyes bloodshot, became violent and bloodthirsty, and their intelligence deteriorated.
One after another, menacing figures appeared in the gray-black mist, leading the ferocious beasts infected by the mist, attempting to break out of the desolate ancient domain.
The war reached its climax, with countless powerful warriors falling and the two sides locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle.
The strongest being on the Dou Qi Continent is the Earthly Sovereign who wields a bamboo flute.
However, the extraterrestrial evil race has a total of three Earthly Sovereigns!
This includes the Black-Clad Earth Supreme, who, after death, invaded the spirit of the Bodhi Ancient Tree with negative emotions.
The Earthly Sovereign of Bamboo Flute was incredibly powerful, holding his own against three opponents. Moreover, his methods were remarkable; he devised a plan to attack them one by one, defeating the three Earthly Sovereigns of the Extraterrestrial Evil Clan one by one.
But this was ultimately just a temporary fix; the extraterrestrial evil races seemed inexhaustible, continuously surging forth from the depths of the desolate ancient domain.
The scene shifts again, and the peerless Sound Emperor appears in the Desolate Ancient Domain, dragging a ball of light in his hand.
The moment Chu Yang saw the ball of light, his pupils contracted.
He sensed a familiar aura in the ball of light, an aura identical to that of the black crystal!
Spirit of the Dimension!
With the blessing of the dimensional spirit, the Sound Emperor took out an ancient zither. Amidst the lingering music, the strength of all the powerful figures on the Dou Qi Continent surged, and they wiped out the extraterrestrial evil race.
They fought their way to the depths of the desolate ancient domain, where there was a spatial rift. It was through this spatial rift that the extraterrestrial evil race was able to invade the Dou Qi Continent.
Then, one after another, the powerful figures of the Weapon Continent self-destructed, using their flesh and blood to condense their life's cultivation into one, merging it into the spirit of the plane.
Ultimately, the spirit of the plane erased the spatial rift.
After that battle, there were no more Battle Saints on the Dou Qi Continent!
The final scene shows the Sound Emperor carrying the dimensional spirit, whose light has dimmed and cracks have even appeared, flying north.
After the scene ended, Chu Yang fell silent for a long time before frowning and asking, "At that time, was the Dou Qi Continent already completely isolated from the Great Thousand World?"
Judging from the aura in the image, the Sound Emperor's realm is stronger than that of the Bamboo Flute Earth Supreme, but only by a limited margin.
Ultimately, with the blessing of the Plane Spirit, it unleashed power comparable to the Heavenly Sovereign, helping the strong on the Dou Qi Continent to improve their overall strength.
The ancient Bodhi tree did not answer.
Chu Yang understood that the Bodhi tree's silence meant it didn't know either.
Chu Yang slowly closed his eyes, connecting all the clues in his mind.
In the original storyline, Xiao Yan opened the passage between the Dou Qi Continent and the Great Thousand World above the headquarters of the Tianfu Alliance.
When Chu Yang visited various powerful forces, he traveled almost all over the Central Plains.
However, apart from the spatial rifts in the Northern Desert and the Beast Realm, no other spatial nodes that could potentially connect to the Great Thousand Worlds have been discovered.
In other words, that passage was created by Xiao Yan himself, and it did not originally exist.
In the scene shown to him by the Bodhi Tree, the Sound Emperor finally traveled to the north with the Spirit of the Plane, which reminded Chu Yang of the spatial rift in the Northern Desert.
In this way, everything seems to make sense.
It is true that the Dou Qi Continent was completely isolated from the Great Thousand Worlds before the war; otherwise, the powerful figures of the Great Thousand Worlds would not have been unaware of such a huge commotion.
Of course, things couldn't be that simple; Chu Yang had a deeper suspicion...
That was when the war broke out, just as the extraterrestrial evil races launched a large-scale invasion of the Great Thousand World.
The spatial node that originally connected Dou Qi Continent to the Great Thousand World was located in the Great Thousand World, in an area that had been invaded by the extraterrestrial evil race.
The reason why the Sound Emperor only appeared with the Spirit of the Plane at the very end is very likely because he had temporarily isolated the Great Thousand World from the Dou Qi Continent using the Spirit of the Plane Principle.
This is why the extraterrestrial assistance did not invade in a large-scale manner through the dimensional channel, but could only send a large number of cannon fodder, a limited number of Supreme Realm experts, and three Earth Supremes through a spatial rift.
After the war ended, the Sound Emperor once again went to the dimensional portal and, using some unknown method, completely isolated the Dou Qi Continent from the Great Thousand World.
That is why the spirit of the plane shattered, leaving only a stillborn child.
The location of that dimensional passage is most likely a spatial rift in the Northern Desert!
However, in the end, all of this is still just his speculation. To confirm it, he needs to enter the spatial rift in the northern desert and find out for himself.
However, Chu Yang does not intend to do that at the moment. If that spatial node is still connected to the area in the Great Thousand World that is occupied by the extraterrestrial evil race, it would be no joke if he ventured deep into the territory alone.
Sending Sun Wukong to the evil race in the outer realms to prove his Dao through killing was extremely risky, but at least through data backup, Sun Wukong could be resurrected in a special way.
If something happens to me, there's no chance of being resurrected!
Without breaking through to the Dou Di realm, which is the Supreme Realm, Chu Yang did not intend to take any risks.
Gathering his thoughts, Chu Yang slowly opened his eyes, looked at the spirit of the Bodhi Tree, and said softly, "I can grant you true intelligence, but I will require you to relinquish your physical form."
"The choice is yours. If you're willing, I'll show you the sights of this vast world."
"If you are unwilling, you can sever half of your origin and tree spirit, and I can still help you gather the spirit."
"However, in that case, you would need to start from scratch and go through a long period of time before you can take human form and walk freely in the world."
The spirit of the Bodhi Ancient Tree trembled violently. It did not doubt Chu Yang's words, because just as Chu Yang had expected, it had sensed the aura of the Soul Palace earlier.
That power made it want to submit, just as a subject had met a king.
Although the Bodhi Tree's consciousness is simple, it knows what abandoning its original form means, and it is also aware of the hardships it has endured over countless years.
Is it to abandon everything from the past and take a gamble, or to start all over again?
It was precisely because of its simple consciousness that the Bodhi Tree did not hesitate for long and quickly conveyed a wisp of soul fluctuation.
It chose the former!
Abandon the original!
Chu Yang smiled, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
Although he gave two options, he undoubtedly preferred the first one.
If the Bodhi Tree were to relinquish its physical form, Chu Yang could refine its tree spirit into his forehead bone and use it as a vessel for Pangu.
And in this process, the consciousness of the Bodhi tree is preserved, allowing it to take over Pangu's domain.
In this way, Pangu transformed from a pure computer into an "information life form".
Or to put it another way, the consciousness of the Bodhi Tree controlled Pangu!
The Bodhi tree, also known as the tree of wisdom, is the perfect treasure to be refined into the forehead bone.
With the acquisition of wisdom, Pangu's abilities in all aspects will be greatly enhanced. He will be able to make the most correct judgments at the most appropriate time without Chu Yang having to deliberately control him.
Get it in one fell swoop!
"In that case, let's get started!"
Chu Yang took a deep breath, landed in front of the tree spirit, and placed his hand on the tree trunk.
Without the slightest hesitation, the spirit of the Bodhi tree immediately severed its connection with its main body, and its aura rapidly weakened.
Outside, deep within the Desolate Ancient Domain, there are still countless powerful individuals, but they failed to seize the opportunity and can only watch from afar.
They are waiting, waiting for those who have made a profit to come out, to see if they can pick on the weak and kill to steal their treasure!
After all, Chu Yang had said that all the strong individuals below the Dou Sheng level could compete for opportunities based on their own abilities.
The world of cultivators has always been a dog-eat-dog world. The so-called self-reliance, besides seizing opportunities, naturally also includes killing and robbing treasures.
If you obtain a treasure but cannot protect it, you can only blame your own lack of strength!
But at that moment, everyone was shocked to discover that the towering ancient tree standing on the plain was withering at a speed visible to the naked eye!
This sudden turn of events left everyone dumbfounded, even the leaders of various factions who had been observing the situation were equally horrified.
The space trembled, and one after another, powerful Dou Sheng appeared. Everyone looked at each other in confusion, but no one knew what had happened.
"Could this be... the work of the Chu Emperor?"
