Destroying the Will of Heaven
Episode 118 The Tree of Enlightenment
In such a vast desolate region, white light slowly appeared on the surface of the ground. The moment that white light stopped shining, a black gate had appeared with a white masked person who had just walked out.
“Hm? Third stage trial is an empty region?” Chu Feng who had just walked out of the black gate slowly looked at the huge, extremely desolate region. If the previous region had abundant trees or grasses, but now it is in a very quiet area without the slightest object.
However the next moment, Chu Feng saw something that made him shocked. It was a huge tree that towered up into the sky.
Looking at the scene before him, Chu Feng's pupils slightly shrunk and said it in a stuttering tone, “This ... This is ... Ancient enlightenment tree”
Chu Feng looked towards the towering giant tree before him with an expression of disbelief, the tree in front of him was almost like a huge banyan tree. The dense green leaves almost formed a tree crown, with the trunk of the tree several hundred meters in diameter like a sky pillar that stood between heaven and earth.
The crown of its leaves covered the entire sky with its roots that had spread to the surface of the ground.
It was a bodhi tree that had been used by Buddhists to achieve enlightenment at that time.
Legend has it that in ancient times there were trees that benefited many people, not only living beings but the gods also benefited. Anyone who sits under the bodhi tree will gain enlightenment on the experiences that have occurred in the path of life.
But unfortunately after the incident in ancient times, this bodhi tree is said to have been wiped out from the world. If the cultivators present in the cultivation world knew these ancient ruins still had the enlightenment tree left, there might be a bloody battle that would shake the entire cultivation world. The reason why so many cultivators wanted to explore the ancient ruins, it was because they wanted to obtain the items that had been lost from the world.
All of these memory memories all came from the real body of Chu Feng, that was why he was so shocked when he saw the enlightenment tree that should have been destroyed but was still in front of his eyes.
“As the first person to enter here, you can cultivate in the closest part to the root fragment of bodhi tree!” A cold mechanical sound rang out throughout the region where he stood.
“Fractional root of bodhi tree? Does that mean it's not the real tree of enlightenment?” Chu Feng immediately understood what the mechanical sound meant.
“Yes, this tree is part of the original bodhi tree branch. The closer to the broken branch of the bodhi tree, the more likely it is to have enlightenment!” A mechanical voice that Chu Feng thought had no consciousness suddenly answered his question.
“Are you the owner of the tomb this month?” Chu Feng shouted while activating his life-eye ability. But no matter how much it looked for him, Chu Feng saw absolutely no signs of life in this region.
After waiting for a while there was no answer whatsoever to that mechanical sound, Chu Feng could only give up and walk closer to the bodhi tree in front of him. After arriving at the very front, Chu Feng finally realized how small his life was. In front of the shards of bodhi tree branches, he felt like an ant that had just known life.
At this moment, the enlightenment tree lowered the green divine light that enveloped Chu Feng's body. That mysterious wave instantly entered his spiritual sea and enveloped Chu Feng's soul directly.
Upon feeling that warm feeling, Chu Feng directly crossed his legs and entered a state of cultivation.
In a few moments, Chu Feng had been in an extremely dark and black place without the slightest light. Then he saw a fragment of life he had forgotten while still on planet earth, it was like a film slowly presented before his eyes.
“Is this my life?” Chu Feng looked at all of his memories that he had often forgotten while on planet earth. Like his life as a toddler, a child, an adult and his death.
After a short while Chu Feng entered a state of cultivation, there were suddenly two white lights that appeared. As the two white lights slowly disappeared, there were two figures that came out from the black gate.
It was a man who had a pretty face was holding a bronze compass in his hand, and the other was a man who was holding a red spear. They were both Song Zhe from the Song Family, and Wei Wu from the Wei Family.
As the two of them exited the black gate, the two of them looked at each other warily. Because it does not know whether the requirements to pass this third stage must kill each other or not.
Just as Song Zhe had just wanted to make a move, there suddenly appeared two white lights not far from his black gate. As the white light disappeared, there were two figures coming out from the black gate. It was a woman who had a blue sword in her hand, while the other was a man who had a yellow sword in his hand. They were both young miss Chu Yu of the Chu Family, and Gao Ze the cousin of young miss Chu Yu.
When the two of them came out, the direction Song Zhe and Wei Wu were looking at immediately turned towards the two of them.
Before the four of them would go any further, they all heard a cold mechanical sound that rang out throughout the region they were in.
“Welcome all five of you have qualified to head for the next trial, therefore all of you are entitled to use the bodhi tree in front to gain enlightenment!” A cold mechanical sound was heard throughout the region they were in.
When the four of them heard a mechanical and cold voice, all of them were shocked as they turned their eyes to look at the bodhi tree. They saw a gigantic tree standing firmly in this region.
“Is this really a bodhi tree?! Doesn't legend say that this tree has been wiped out of the world due to a great event in ancient times?!” The four people put away their auras of hostility while looking in astonishment.
While looking around, the four people suddenly realized that there was already one person cultivating under the bodhi tree.
“Isn't he the killer I hired?! The Piety?!” Young Miss Chu Yu looked in amazement at the white masked young man who was closing his eyes.
Gao Ze who was beside him was also surprised, although he already knew that the person was very strong but did not expect it to be this fast to be able to exterminate the elephant herd that was in the second stage.
“That person again!!” Song Zhe held tightly to his red spear furiously. He always felt that whatever he would get would always end up in that person's hands.
“Oh? He could kill that herd of elephants so quickly just relying on his sand element? Interesting Once!” Wei Wu raised his compass before his eyes to predict whether the person in front of him would become his greatest enemy or not. But after seeing that his compass did not show the slightest red color, he could only sigh in relief. That meant that the person in front of him was harmless, that person did not have the strength that could kill him.
“Two men wearing red compasses and spears, are expected to sit cultivating 10 meters behind the white masked man. As for the remaining two, the two of you will be sitting cultivating 10 meters behind those two men! The duration of activating the enlightenment tree is not too long, therefore I hope you guys do not linger there.” A cold mechanical sound suddenly sounded throughout the region. While listening to that sentence, his fourth face instantly changed drastically and hurriedly walked over as directed.
After everyone had sat cross-legged, the four people closed their eyes to enter the cultivation state. The moment the five people had closed their eyes, a silhouette of light suddenly appeared where they were.
It was a beautiful woman who did not look old nor young, the woman was staring at the white masked man who was cross-legged. The woman could only mutter one sentence, “That is doomed!”
