Chapter 344 Sound Emperor? A follower of the Earthly Sovereign Realm! Bodhi Ancient
Xiao Yan was somewhat worried, because his greatest reliance was the Buddha's Wrath Lotus, which he had created by refining different flames through the Burning Technique and by fusing various different flames.
If Chu Yang was after the strange fire, he would not answer under any circumstances, because once he lost the strange fire, his strength would plummet.
However, if Chu Yang wanted him to help collect all the strange flames, his strength would be far greater than it is now once he possessed them.
Even if he hadn't broken through to the Dou Di level at that time, he would at least have reached the level of a Half-Emperor, standing on the same level as Chu Yang.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan felt a little relieved.
At worst, they can repay Chu Yang's favor in other ways. After all, with enough strength, they will have the confidence to bargain.
…………
After leaving the Ancient Domain Platform, Chu Yang went directly to the depths of the Desolate Ancient Domain, sat cross-legged on the summit of a mountain, and sorted out the various pieces of information in his mind.
This information came from the images he had just seen through Clay's audio, but the images couldn't be pieced together, and all he got were fragmented pieces of information.
Chu Yang could only roughly arrange this information to arrive at a general conclusion.
The final result pointed to a war that took place in the ancient wilderness in ancient times.
Chu Yang was unable to learn the cause of the war from the information, but judging from some of the images, the two sides in the war were most likely the local powerhouses of the Dou Qi Continent and the evil races from beyond the realm.
The Ancient Domain Platform was not the center of the battlefield, but even so, judging from the content of the scene, the weakest of all the participating powerhouses was at the Dou Sheng realm.
The number of Dou Di powerhouses participating in the battle even reached double digits!
Through this, Chu Yang became even more certain that the secret of the Primordial Ancient Domain must be related to the historical gap in the Dou Qi Continent.
However, the information was too one-sided, and there wasn't much other valuable content.
It is worth mentioning that Chu Yang discovered someone in those scenes who was very likely the Sound Emperor.
This person is extremely powerful, and it was precisely because of his arrival that the originally difficult battle at the Ancient Domain Platform turned into a one-sided trend, with the Dou Qi Continent side achieving a complete victory.
The Sound Emperor's weapon is a bamboo flute, which he uses to kill people with its sound. Even a powerful expert at the Dou Di level among the extraterrestrial evil races would be killed by his sound waves if he got within a hundred feet of him.
Judging from this, the Sound Emperor's strength must be greater than that of the Battle Emperor!
If we measure by the realms of the Great Thousand Worlds, if the Dou Di is comparable to the Supreme Realm, then the Yin Di is probably at least a strong person at the Earth Supreme Realm!
The Bodhi tree is said to appear every thousand years, but since ancient times, more than ten thousand years have passed, and the Bodhi tree has never appeared.
Now, it has reappeared, but in the desolate ancient domain.
In addition, information obtained from the Ancient Domain Platform suggests that the Sound Emperor, who is likely connected to the historical gap, also participated in the war that took place in the Desolate Ancient Domain.
All the clues pointed to the Desolate Ancient Domain, and the anomalies here made Chu Yang feel that he was getting closer and closer to the truth.
His desire to understand the historical gaps in the Dou Qi Continent wasn't simply driven by a thirst for knowledge, but rather by a feeling that the Dou Qi Continent held some kind of secret.
Once this secret is uncovered, it could bring him unexpected surprises.
Gathering his thoughts, Chu Yang reached out and tore open the space in front of him, creating a relatively stable small world before getting up and stepping inside.
For the next month, Chu Yang remained in seclusion in the small world, cultivating while also refining pills.
He obtained a large number of rare and precious materials from various tribes in the Jia Ma Empire. Later, when he visited various powerful forces, he exchanged pills for many medicinal herbs.
Since Chu Yang readily produces ninth-grade pills, the major powers are naturally happy to exchange them with him.
After all, those rare and precious treasures are in the hands of various powerful forces, making it difficult for them to exert their maximum effect. Moreover, even if a high-level alchemist is asked to help refine the medicine, there will still be a considerable failure rate.
Rather than doing that, they might as well offer it up in exchange with Chu Yang. They wouldn't even mind taking a loss to forge a good relationship with the strongest person on the continent.
Therefore, Chu Yang has a sufficient reserve of medicinal herbs, enough to support him until he has fully evolved all four Sacred Spirits.
However, he also discovered a drawback: although using the Spirit Ascension Technique to devour pills could accelerate the evolution of the Four Beast True Spirits, it was far less effective than the Divine Dragon True Spirit directly devouring special treasures.
After the Divine Dragon True Spirit devoured the Void Thunder Pool, its lightning attribute power increased significantly, and subsequent evolutions will continue to enhance the strength of its lightning attribute.
This is similar to how consuming special treasures can elevate the essence of a true spirit, while consuming medicinal herbs or pills can only accumulate the energy needed for evolution.
One is a qualitative change, and the other is a quantitative change.
Given the same level of evolution, the power of the Divine Dragon Spirit is now greater than that of the other three True Spirits.
However, Chu Yang couldn't do everything perfectly at the moment. Things always have priorities, and perfecting the Refining Treasure Technique was naturally a much higher priority than improving the Four Sacred Spirits.
Even with Chu Yang's alchemy efficiency, it would still take some time to refine all the stored medicinal materials into pills, since the number of pills needed for the evolution of the Four Saints True Spirits is enormous.
Satisfying the appetites of these four money-devouring beasts is no easy task.
When Chu Yang left the small world, the "progress bar" for the evolution of the Four Sacred Spirits increased significantly again. However, during this time, he had been "feeding" the Phoenix Spirit, the Divine Turtle Spirit, and the Qilin Spirit.
The evolution progress bars of these three True Spirits have all reached 70%, while the Divine Dragon True Spirit has only increased by 5%, reaching 75%.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, Chu Yang planned to have all four true spirits upgrade simultaneously.
After all, the four sacred spirits will undergo a qualitative change after the upgrade. Who knows if Ao Ting can still suppress the power of the Divine Dragon Spirit and achieve a balance with the other three spirits?
If the balance is broken, leading to conflict among the four sacred spirits, then the joke will be huge.
Another reason is that Chu Yang vaguely felt that this was likely just the first stage of evolution of the Four Sacred Spirits, or the first level of the Spirit Ascension Technique.
After all, this is a technique contained within the fruit of the Divine Tree. If it can only raise the upper limit of the Si Sheng Zhen Ling to the Dou Di level, it would be somewhat inconsistent with the "prestige" of the Divine Tree.
Moreover, both the Refining Treasure Technique and the Dragon Elephant King Technique have extremely high growth potential, so the Spirit Ascension Technique is naturally no less impressive.
Chu Yang had been putting off improving the Dragon Elephant King Technique, not because he had neglected the technique, but because he simply hadn't found a suitable opportunity to do so.
If one can draw the power of a true dragon into the body, the level of this body-refining technique will surely be raised again!
"Judging by the time... Zi Yan should have almost finished digesting the power of the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit, right?"
Chu Yang narrowed his eyes, deep in thought, when he suddenly sensed a surge of energy deep within the desolate ancient domain, which invigorated him.
An ancient Bodhi tree!
…………
Deep in the desolate ancient realm, a towering ancient tree stands out somewhat abruptly on the vast plain.
The ancient tree emitted bursts of pure energy that gathered in the air and constantly transformed into various shapes, looking incredibly strange.
An ancient aura emanates from the ancient tree, as if it had traversed the long river of time, arriving from the very beginning of time.
A dazzling ray of light slowly rose and fell in front of the ancient tree.
Through the light, one can vaguely see a heart-like outline, beating rhythmically.
Ancient Bodhi tree! Bodhi mind!
Chu Yang stood alone a hundred feet above the Bodhi tree, looking down at the sky.
At this moment, countless figures had already gathered in front of the Bodhi Ancient Tree. These people were almost all at the Dou Zun realm, but there were no experts at the Half-Saint level.
Although Chu Yang only said that he would let the strong below the level of Dou Sheng compete for the opportunity, no one knew whether this so-called Dou Sheng or Ban Sheng included.
Therefore, no force or semi-saint powerhouse dared to risk displeasing him by testing the rules.
Led by Xiao Yan and other outstanding young talents from various clans, the peak-level Dou Zun experts are using various methods to fight against the five half-saint puppets guarding the Bodhi Ancient Tree.
Seeing that all five half-saint puppets had been blasted to death, Xiao Yan and the others rushed directly towards the Bodhi Ancient Tree.
Immediately afterwards, the ancient Bodhi tree suddenly burst forth with dazzling light, attempting to envelop everyone within it.
A glint flashed in Chu Yang's eyes, and his figure vanished from the spot in an instant. When he reappeared, he was already standing in front of everyone.
As the dazzling light descended, Chu Yang was immediately enveloped in it, and then the scene before him rapidly changed.
It was still the desolate ancient domain, but the Bodhi tree was nowhere to be seen. The surroundings were quiet, and there was no one on the plain.
After waiting quietly for a moment, Chu Yang shook his head, saying, "Where's your illusion? Why don't you use it?"
"Or is it that the illusion that communicates with people's negative emotions and desires doesn't work on me?"
He seemed to be talking to thin air, but as soon as he finished speaking, a miniature version of an ancient Bodhi tree appeared not far away.
The tree trunk swayed slightly, and the branches and leaves rustled, as if responding to Chu Yang.
"I can help you get rid of the negative emotions of a Dou Di, but I need to know the truth of what happened back then. Don't try to fool me with those embellished images."
Chu Yang's expression was calm, but his tone even carried a hint of pressure.
The miniature Bodhi tree, or more accurately, the spirit of the Bodhi tree, swayed and then emitted bursts of light.
A moment later, two imposing figures suddenly appeared on the plain, exuding a terrifying aura.
Chu Yang immediately recognized that the two were not just at the Dou Di level, but at the Earth Supreme level!
One of them was holding a bamboo flute, and he was none other than the powerful figure who appeared to be the Sound Emperor in the scene that Chu Yang had seen through the Klein bottle at the Ancient Domain Platform!
The other person was dressed in black, with a cold and stern face, and surrounded by a gray-black mist.
The two clashed. The Black-Clad Earthly Sovereign's methods were unpredictable and his power was neither battle qi nor the spiritual power of the bamboo flute expert.
Extraterrestrial evil race!
If it was just a guess before, Chu Yang can now be completely certain that the powerful figures of the Dou Qi Continent gathered in the Desolate Ancient Land to resist the evil race from beyond the realm!
Ultimately, the Black-Clad Supreme was no match for him and attempted to escape.
Then the scene shifts, and he encounters the Bodhi Ancient Tree. He attempts to forcibly extract the power and spirit of the Bodhi Ancient Tree to heal his injuries, but is instead killed by the Bodhi Ancient Tree in conjunction with the bamboo flute expert.
However, at the moment of his fall, a wisp of negative emotion from the Black-Clad Earth Supreme merged into the Bodhi Ancient Tree, and over a long period of time, it invaded the tree spirit of the Bodhi Ancient Tree.
The scene abruptly ended. Chu Yang narrowed his eyes and suddenly asked, "Was that person the Sound Emperor?"
The ancient Bodhi tree swayed gently a few times, releasing a wave of soul power.
After understanding its meaning, Chu Yang frowned.
Because the Bodhi Tree told him that the powerful figure holding the bamboo flute was not the Sound Emperor, but the strongest among the Sound Emperor's many followers!
Recalling the information he obtained in the Sound Valley, he learned that the founder of the Sound Valley was also a follower of the Sound Emperor, but due to insufficient strength, he was unable to continue following the Sound Emperor.
Later, when the Sound Emperor disappeared without a trace, he founded the Sound Valley, not participating in external conflicts, just to wait for the Sound Emperor's return.
It seems that the Sound Emperor has quite a few followers, including even Earthly Sovereigns like the Bamboo Flute Master!
If even the followers are this strong, then what level must the Sound Emperor be at?
Supreme Being?
But if he is truly the Supreme Being of Heaven, how could he be so unknown in the Great Thousand Worlds?
"Have you ever seen the Sound Emperor?" Chu Yang asked again.
The ancient Bodhi tree emitted a burst of light and finally transformed into human form before Chu Yang.
Upon seeing this figure, Chu Yang couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.
She was a woman with delicate features and a tall figure. Although she did not look stunning or have an outstanding temperament, she gave people a sense of unparalleled beauty at first glance!
He never expected that the mysterious Sound Emperor would actually be a woman.
"What realm is this person at?" Chu Yang withdrew his gaze and looked at the Bodhi tree.
This time, the Bodhi tree did not respond. Chu Yang thought for a moment and then asked, "Is she still alive?"
The ancient Bodhi tree trembled slightly, but still did not respond.
"You don't know either..." Chu Yang frowned.
After a moment, he waved his hand and said, "Alright! Let me help you get rid of that negative emotion from the extraterrestrial Dou Di!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yang waved his hand gently, and his powerful soul force swept out, directly enveloping the spirit of the Bodhi Ancient Tree.
Wisps of grayish-black energy emanated from the spirit of the ancient Bodhi tree.
In just a few breaths, Chu Yang withdrew his soul power, and the Bodhi Tree Spirit, which had been somewhat excited, began to shake violently, transmitting waves of soul energy.
The meaning it conveys is as if to say...
It's not over yet, why did you stop?
Chu Yang smiled and said, "Don't you have another candidate in mind?"
"Leave the rest to him!"
"I'll also give him another opportunity. Come find me after this is over. I have a lot to discuss with you."
The ancient Bodhi tree seemed somewhat displeased, emitting a wave of spiritual energy in protest before gradually fading away and eventually disappearing completely.
"Am I that intimidating to you?" Chu Yang was slightly surprised.
The spirit of the ancient Bodhi tree had clearly expressed its dissatisfaction, yet it seemed to dare not speak its anger and left in a huff.
Logically speaking, the Bodhi Ancient Tree dared to confront even a Sovereign Earthly Being head-on, so why would it be so wary of him, a Six-Star Dou Sheng? (End of Chapter)
