Watching Wei Yang and the others disappear into the distance, Jiu Feng slowly withdrew his gaze.
"Two Bodhisattva Seeds!"
His eyes immediately shifted to the two emerald-green lights floating before him, and he couldn't help feeling overjoyed. Although one of them was dim and clearly impure, it was still a Bodhisattva Seed!
The members of the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan crowded around as well. Feng Qing'er's expression looked much better now, because one of these Bodhisattva Seeds belonged to her.
Trading a Golden Phoenix Flame for a single Bodhisattva Seed—although she felt she had suffered a slight loss, it was still acceptable. After all, her life had been preserved.
Jiu Feng put the Bodhisattva Seeds away, letting out a long breath of relief. This trip finally wasn't a wasted one. Although three clan members died in the fight against the Ban Sheng Puppet, returning with two Bodhisattva Seeds was enough for him to give an explanation back home.
In this way, among the teams who made it to the end of the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree's opportunity, everyone—other than the Hun Clan's side—gained something. Hun Yu's group not only gained nothing, their lives were likely in danger as well.
"Let them die." Jiu Feng sneered inwardly.
"Move out, we're going back!"
Right away, Jiu Feng led his clan members swiftly away, rushing back toward the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan.
As everyone gradually left, the Ancient Wasteland Region—this human-forbidden land—returned once again to its former silence. Perhaps for many years to come, it would not see any trace of human presence.
After settling the matter with the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, Wei Yang and his group did not stay another moment in that accursed Ancient Wasteland Region. They left immediately, and after several days of nonstop travel, finally returned to Falling Star Pavilion.
During this trip to the Ancient Wasteland Region, their group undoubtedly gained the most out of everyone. Wei Yang and Xiao Yan not only enjoyed the legendary enlightenment under the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree, but their Dou Qi foundation had also been expanded several fold.
This was the most important opportunity for becoming an Emperor. Afterward, Xiao Yan even managed to secretly hide the Bodhisattva Heart inside his body without anyone noticing.
Meanwhile, Wei Yang still had thirty-two pure Bodhisattva Seeds left. Originally there had been thirty-four, but he gave two to Jiu Feng, one of which was the impure Bodhisattva Seed obtained from Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva back then.
After experiencing a hundred reincarnations, Wei Yang's soul realm had now reached the late-stage Heaven Realm, just one step away from a Quasi-Emperor Soul.
As for Xiao Yan, he had reached the half-step Heaven Realm. Once he digested the Bodhisattva Heart, stepping into the Heaven Soul Realm and achieving sainthood would be no problem. Of course, there was also improvement in their Dou Qi realms.
One of the two brothers was a Dou Sheng, and the other a Ban Sheng. Lastly, they even acquired a Nine-Change Peak-level Undying Golden Phoenix Flame.
Not to mention everything else—just the Bodhisattva Heart and those thirty-two Bodhisattva Seeds were already an unimaginably massive harvest. Any one of these items could cause a bloody storm across the entire Central Plains.
Even a single Bodhisattva Seed was enough to make countless peak Dou Zun experts go red-eyed with envy. Not for any of its other effects, but simply because it increased the chance of breaking through to Ban Sheng.
That alone was enough to drive those so-called top experts mad and make them tear each other apart. Aside from the harvest, wiping out the Hun Clan's team entirely was also a small but satisfying bonus.
Falling Star Pavilion, main peak.
Inside the chamber at the top level of the tall tower, master and disciples sat cross-legged.
After hearing the details of the trip, Yao Lao stroked his beard, his expression filled with emotion and relief. He knew his two proud disciples were both men of great fortune and destiny, but even he hadn't expected their harvest from the Ancient Wasteland Region to be this enormous!
He especially didn't expect that the legendary Bodhisattva Ancient Tree actually hid an opportunity to become an Emperor. This kind of heaven-shaking information left even a man of Yao Lao's experience stunned for a long time, unable to calm his heart.
Then came an immense wave of joy! Because such heaven-defying opportunities had been obtained by his two disciples. How could he not feel excited? His two disciples actually had the potential to become Emperors?! Heavens!
Just thinking about it made Yao Lao tremble uncontrollably.
I, Yao Chen… could it be that I might one day become the master of a Dou Di?Or even the master of two Dou Di?
This happiness came too suddenly, leaving him dizzy.
I, Yao Chen, what virtue or ability do I have? When had I ever imagined achieving something so heaven-defying? In the past, my biggest hope was merely to raise two Dou Shengs.
After that, if he could raise three grand-disciples to the Ban Sheng realm, he would already be more than satisfied.
But now, with such sudden news, the old man felt he could hardly handle it. No, he couldn't think about it anymore. If he kept imagining it, he probably wouldn't be able to sleep for many nights.
Yao Lao's hand that stroked his beard was trembling slightly, though he forced a calm expression. He shook his head, pushing down those thoughts that made his blood boil just from imagining them.
However, Wei Yang had already become a Dou Sheng, and Xiao Yan had stepped into Ban Sheng, and even possessed the Bodhisattva Heart. His own breakthrough to Dou Sheng was only a matter of time.
Looking at it from this angle, the goal he had always hoped for was already fulfilled. Both of his disciples had become Saint.
Perhaps… maybe… he could even set a bolder goal? After the excitement faded…
"This matter must be kept strictly confidential."
Yao Lao solemnly reminded his two disciples, "Aside from the heavens, the earth, and the three of us, no one else must know of this for now."
"Mm." Wei Yang and Xiao Yan both nodded.
This matter was far too shocking; the fewer who knew, the better. Classifying it as top secret for the time being was only proper.
"Master, we also obtained an extra harvest on this trip. Consider it a gift from your disciples." Wei Yang smiled as he flipped his hand, producing a golden flame.
Cry—
Within the golden flame, a tiny golden phoenix bathed in fire, flapping its wings as it flew, letting out an ancient phoenix cry.
"This is the Golden Phoenix Flame?" Yao Lao froze for a moment before reaching out to take the fire, examining it closely, clicking his tongue in amazement.
"I've only seen a few vague descriptions of this flame in ancient texts. I never thought I would witness it with my own eyes today."
The Nirvana Flame of the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix.
The wonders of creation truly made one sigh in awe. After a while, Yao Lao finally withdrew his gaze, a faint trace of reluctance flickering in his eyes. But he slowly shook his head, looked at his two disciples, and smiled warmly.
"Your good intentions, I accept in my heart. But the Bone Chilling Flame I have is enough. This Golden Phoenix Flame should be used by you, Xiao Yan."
He directly handed the flame to Xiao Yan.
But Xiao Yan only smiled and shook his head, not accepting it. He and Wei Yang had already discussed this on their way back.
The Bone Chilling Flame might be a Heavenly Flame, but its power was ultimately too weak. In the hands of Yao Lao, who was now a Dou Sheng, it wouldn't be completely useless, but its aid would be extremely limited.
The Bone Chilling Flame's attributes also didn't match Yao Lao well. That mismatch wasn't obvious at lower realms, but once one reached Dou Sheng realm, it became a real problem. The Golden Phoenix Flame, however, was different.
Wei Yang might judge it as inferior to true Heavenly Flames, and far inferior to the Gold Emperor Incinerating Heavenly Flame, leaving him unimpressed.
But that was only because Wei Yang's standards had long been raised to monstrous heights by the top five Heavenly Flames. He also possessed the Death Life Flame, so he had little interest in any other flames.
Even the Life Spirit Flame didn't impress him; he casually threw it to Qing Lin to use. He currently had a Ban Sheng-level Gold Emperor Incinerating Heavenly Flame sitting idle. How could he possibly see this Golden Phoenix Flame as anything noteworthy?
But in reality, while the Golden Phoenix Flame was inferior to the top five Heavenly Flames, it was far from weak—certainly not much worse than those ranked within the top ten. At the very least, compared to the Bone Chilling Flame, it was comparable.
More importantly, its power level was at the peak of Nine-Change Dou Zun. That alone was something the Bone Chilling Flame could never match!
Its core attribute was Nirvana—destruction containing rebirth, capable of bringing flesh back to bone, granting it miraculous restorative power.
