Chapter 343 The Anomaly in the Desolate Ancient Domain! The Ancient Domain Platform! Xiao Yan's Speculation!
After Gu Yuan entered the courtyard, he noticed that Chu Yang was looking at him strangely. He glanced at the young girl out of the corner of his eye, then cleared his throat and said:
"Uh...Emperor Chu, news has come from the Desolate Ancient Domain!"
"Oh?" Chu Yang raised an eyebrow. He had been asking the ancient clans to keep an eye on the situation in the Desolate Ancient Domain.
After all, although he accelerated the process at a specific point in time deep within the Desolate Ancient Domain, he still could not confirm the exact time when the Bodhi Ancient Tree appeared.
Gu Yuan continued, "The Bodhi Tree is about to appear in the world!"
"According to records, the appearance of the Bodhi tree each time would trigger unusual celestial phenomena a month in advance."
"The image of the Desolate Ancient Domain has appeared, and the area where the Bodhi Ancient Tree has appeared has been identified."
At this point, Gu Yuan's face showed a hint of doubt, and he tentatively asked, "Does Emperor Chu intend to seize the Bodhi Heart and Bodhi Seed for the Yunlan Sect?"
Although the Bodhi Ancient Tree can be considered one of the most precious treasures on the Dou Qi Continent, its greatest function is nothing more than enabling people to instantly become saints.
In Gu Yuan's view, the Bodhi tree was of absolutely no value to Chu Yang.
Therefore, he guessed that Chu Yang's interest in the Bodhi Tree was probably because he wanted to cultivate powerful individuals for the Yunlan Sect.
Chu Yang smiled noncommittally, then asked, "Are the ancient clans interested in the Bodhi Tree?"
Gu Yuan hurriedly said, "With Emperor Chu here, I'm afraid all the forces on the continent will be disappointed and leave. My Gu Clan will naturally not invite trouble."
After pondering for a moment, Chu Yang said softly, "Release the news that I will personally go to the Desolate Ancient Domain, but I will not interfere in the competition for the Bodhi Ancient Tree opportunity."
"Whether it's Bodhi seeds, Bodhi mind, or the opportunity to meditate under the Bodhi tree, any expert below the Dou Sheng level can strive for it based on their own abilities."
Gu Yuan was stunned for a moment. Although he was even more puzzled, he did not ask any more questions and took his leave.
Gu Yuan naturally had some ulterior motives. He originally thought that Chu Yang wanted to seize the opportunity of the Bodhi Ancient Tree, but now it seems that this is not the case.
Since that's the case, the ancient clans will naturally want to fight for it!
After Gu Yuan left, Chu Yang established communication with Pan Gu and the Black Tower, and told Nalan Yanran about the Bodhi Tree.
Nalan was still incredibly excited about this.
Because she is already close to the peak of Dou Zun, if she can obtain the Bodhi Heart, she will surely be able to break through to Dou Sheng in one fell swoop!
Although no bottleneck can stop her progress in cultivating the Origin Technique, I can greatly shorten the time it takes for her to break through to the Dou Sheng realm through the Bodhi Heart.
Moreover, the Yunlan Sect also needs this opportunity to further enhance its overall strength.
After Gu Yuan released the news, the entire Central Continent was in an uproar.
Chu Yang personally spoke up and went to the Desolate Ancient Domain to oversee the matter. He also issued a decree that no expert above the Dou Sheng level should interfere.
In this way, many Dou Zun powerhouses who do not have the support of a major power have the confidence to compete for opportunities.
Since everyone is relying on their own abilities, the outcome is uncertain.
As a result, a large number of Dou Zun powerhouses gathered, and even powerhouses from outside Zhongzhou came over.
For 99% of Dou Zun, the hope of breaking through to Dou Sheng is extremely slim, and they may even never reach the Saint realm in their lifetime.
Once one has Bodhi Heart or Bodhi Seed, if one can ask an alchemist to refine the Bodhi Great Rejuvenation Pill, that faint hope can be infinitely magnified.
The gap between a Dou Zun and a Dou Sheng is like an insurmountable chasm. If one can take this step, not only will one's own power rise to the top, but the sect behind one's sect will also rise to the top.
After all, even the top-tier forces in Zhongzhou only have one or two Dou Sheng in charge.
…………
The desolate ancient realm.
This place is usually considered a forbidden zone for humans, and it is also one of the oldest places on the continent.
The environment of the desolate ancient domain is extremely harsh, filled with poisonous gas and teeming with ferocious beasts, including many ancient exotic species.
Even if you throw in top-tier bloodlines of magical beasts like the Heavenly Phoenix or the Ancient Void Dragon, the bloodline advantage will be completely lost.
However, the ferocious beasts and ancient strange beasts in the desolate ancient domain are extremely special. Unlike magical beasts, they are generally of low intelligence, but they are bloodthirsty and violent.
In this situation, even a peak Dou Zun expert going deep alone might not be able to come out alive, given the bloody lessons learned from the past.
Chu Yang strolled through the desolate ancient domain without using spatial jumps or even flying, as if he were taking a walk in his own garden.
Wherever it went, no ferocious beast dared to provoke it.
Although these ferocious beasts were not very intelligent, they all knew how to seek advantage and avoid harm, and they sensed a threat from Chu Yang.
The deeper Chu Yang went, the more his brows furrowed.
This was his first time in the Desolate Ancient Domain, although his soul power had swept over it when he changed the timeline using the Klein Bottle before.
However, because the Klein bottle was rapidly consuming his source energy, Chu Yang only glanced at it briefly and did not waste any time.
This time, as we traveled and observed, we discovered something amiss about the desolate ancient domain.
The ferocious beasts here do not seem to be born bloodthirsty and brutal, nor are they born with low intelligence; rather, they seem to have been influenced by some kind of force.
In other words, even if a human were born here, they would still be affected during their growth!
Its ability to encompass such a vast area and exert such a great influence suggests that its origins must be extraordinary, perhaps even comparable to those of black crystals.
But the black crystal is the stillborn child of the Plane Spirit. It's impossible that there's a second stillborn child of the Plane Spirit in the Desolate Ancient Domain, right?
Chu Yang vaguely felt that the secret of the Desolate Ancient Domain was likely related to the historical gap in the Dou Qi Continent.
Based on the information he currently possesses, the only clues pointing to historical gaps, besides the ancestor of the Sound Valley, the Sound Emperor, are the black crystal and the Bodhi tree.
The Bodhi Ancient Tree is not highly intelligent and cannot communicate normally, but it contains the negative emotions of a Dou Di.
If we could combine the negative emotions of the Dou Di with the spiritual intelligence of the Bodhi Ancient Tree and bring them to life, perhaps we could find some answers.
How much information we might obtain remains to be seen.
However, Chu Yang did not intend to explore the secrets of the Desolate Ancient Domain right now. With the Bodhi Ancient Tree about to be unveiled, this place was a gathering of powerful figures, attracting countless eyes from all over the continent.
If Chu Yang makes too much noise at this critical juncture, it will inevitably cause some trouble.
If we accidentally kill all the powerful figures from all sides, things will get interesting.
Chu Yang did not want to become the target of public criticism. At that time, although the powerful figures and forces on the continent would dare not speak out against him, it would be even more difficult for him to gather the power of faith.
After randomly capturing a ferocious beast, extracting the penetrating factor from its body, and sending it into the Soul Palace, Chu Yang did not linger any longer and directly jumped into the spatial wormhole.
…………
Ancient domain platform.
This is the border between the central and deep parts of the Desolate Ancient Domain. It is said to be a battlefield in ancient times, where countless powerful figures perished, and thus a powerful aura always lingers.
Because of the oppressive aura, even the ancient alien species in the desolate ancient domain dare not approach easily.
When Chu Yang arrived, a battle was raging in front of the Ancient Domain Platform.
The two sides in the battle were none other than the younger generation of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, led by Feng Qing'er, and Xiao Yan's team.
It is worth mentioning that the younger generation of the ancient clans, led by Xiao Xun'er, stood on Xiao Yan's side.
Having appeared silently at the Ancient Domain Platform, Chu Yang merely glanced at it before withdrawing his gaze.
He naturally had no interest in petty squabbles at the Dou Zun realm, and besides, he was well aware of the outcome of this battle.
Chu Yang looked down at the ancient platform beneath his feet, his eyes slightly narrowed.
After hesitating for a moment, he took out the Klein bottle, injected a wisp of soul power into it, and then activated it with his source energy.
In an instant, Chu Yang saw countless scenes through that wisp of soul power, playing in his mind like a slideshow.
At the same time, the brilliance of the Klein bottle also attracted the attention of everyone in the world.
Xiao Yan slapped Feng Qing'er away, and the latter fainted on the spot due to anger and shock.
Looking at the strange light on the ancient platform, many people's eyes flashed with greed.
Those who had seen Chu Yang before had a slight change in expression. Without saying a word, Xiao Xun'er led her people to fly up and protect Chu Yang, as if she would fight to the death if anyone dared to disturb her.
Those powerful individuals who were unaware of the situation subconsciously assumed that Chu Yang was a member of an ancient clan, and some of them were still somewhat eager to make a move.
After all, although Chu Yang has a great reputation, not many people have actually seen him.
Or rather, many people want to meet him, but they just don't have the opportunity.
At this moment, the powerful figures from various top forces and transcendent forces, and even the younger generation of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan who had almost fought with Xiao Xun'er and the others, all spontaneously stepped forward to help protect the Dharma.
Seeing this, countless people were stunned and began to speculate about Chu Yang's origins.
Xiao Yan frowned slightly. Although he had visited the ancient clan a while ago, he had also reunited with Xiao Xun'er after a long separation.
Before he could even greet him, Xiao Xun'er rushed forward to protect Chu Yang, which made Xiao Yan feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Chu Yang sorted out the scenes in his mind, then withdrew his soul power and put away the Klein bottle after a moment.
Looking at the crowd guarding him, Chu Yang couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle. Although his consciousness had just sunk into the Klein bottle, even without any resistance, no one here could hurt him.
However, one shouldn't hit a smiling face. Since they had shown goodwill, Chu Yang smiled and said, "You are very kind, but there's no need to be too nervous. Just pretend I don't exist."
"Since I have said that anyone below the level of Dou Sheng can compete for opportunities, I will naturally not interfere."
Seeing that Chu Yang was unharmed, everyone bowed and then stepped aside.
