Chapter 161: Enlightenment under the Bodhi Tree

Li Pingan, who was traveling underground, was still unaware of the changes in the outside world. He was just concentrating on searching for the ancient Bodhi tree.

With the guidance of the Great Tracking Technique, after spending some time sneaking underground, he finally saw his target.

“Is this the ancient Bodhi tree?”

What appeared before his eyes was an ancient tree thousands of feet tall, exuding an ancient and vicissitudes of life atmosphere, and its thick trunk was engraved with traces of time.

From afar, a clear air ripples over the ancient trees, changing into various shapes, appearing mysterious and magical.

Countless tree root tentacles are rooted deep in the earth, penetrating directly into the magma and the air of the Nine Netherworld to draw strength, and they have a powerful vitality that is shocking.

Bodhi is wisdom and great enlightenment.

Li Pingan faced the ancient tree.

Different from the young World Tree he had seen in the World of Eternal Life, the newly born World Tree exuded the miraculous color of new life, while the ancient Bodhi tree in front of him revealed the wisdom and artistic conception accumulated over the years as all things changed.

It is a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere that makes people feel enlightened.

However, there was a hint of haze in it. Li Ping'an looked over and saw figures covered in black robes under the ancient tree. They were the people who had been searching for the ancient Bodhi tree for generations.

There were Dou Zuns and Semi-Saints, and without exception, they were all affected by the negative emotions of the Dou Di entangled in the ancient Bodhi tree and became puppets.

Li Pingan felt that he would not be affected, but the state of the ancient Bodhi tree was obviously not suitable for him to comprehend.

"Dan Yao!"

He summoned the spirit of the Taoist weapon that cultivated the Dharma of Heaven and Earth.

Among the Three Thousand Great Avenues, there is a great curse technique that can curse all things, plunder the other party's luck, and have no fluctuations in magic power. It can kill people across a big world in a strange and unpredictable way.

All things are interdependent and mutually exclusive, and nature has the power to restrain it.

"Great Purification!"

Dan Yao made a move, and endless light emerged, carrying the meaning of purifying everything. It could drive away all negative states and easily purify all the negative Dou Di emotions on the ancient Bodhi tree.

Along with them, those puppets with the cultivation base of Half Saint and Nine-turn Dou Zun were also purified, leaving only their bodies.

Li Ping'an waved his hand and took those bodies away. He now mastered the method of refining bodies with strange fire. These bodies were quite useful and he never knew when they would be used.

"Crash..."

The ancient Bodhi tree has been silent for tens of thousands of years. In ancient times, it was troubled and polluted by the negative emotions of a fallen Dou Emperor. At this time, the great purification technique hits its soul, making it feel extremely refreshed.

"Buzzing..."

Li Ping'an felt the emotion of gratitude emanating from the ancient Bodhi tree. This ancient tree, which had gone through countless years and could bring wisdom to others, did not itself have complete wisdom, only vague plant spirituality.

"Shh!"

In order to thank Li Ping'an, a ball of green light flew out from the ancient Bodhi tree, and there were many lotus seeds spinning around, which were the Bodhi mind and Bodhi seeds among the Three Treasures of Bodhi.

"That's not what I want."

Li Pingan transmitted his thoughts to the ancient Bodhi tree.

Although these two things are precious, Bodhicitta can give people the power to see through nothingness and face the truth, and Bodhi seeds can also make people enlightened. Both items can make people become fighting saints.

But compared to the last one of the Three Treasures of Bodhi, it is far inferior.

Meditate under the Bodhi tree, reincarnate for hundreds of lifetimes, and become a saint instantly!

This is the real great opportunity, and also the purpose of Li Ping'an's coming here. Reincarnation for hundreds of lifetimes... Even if it is just an illusion and incomplete, it is also a great enlightenment.

Only in this way can we fill the huge gap between the Yin-Yang realm and the Heavenly Realm, from man to heaven!
The ancient Bodhi tree immediately understood, and its huge trunk, which was thousands of feet long, trembled, revealing a spot for people to sit.

"Dan Yao, help me protect the law."

As Li Ping'an spoke, his figure flashed by and he arrived at that location. Although he was thousands of feet underground and there was almost no danger, it was better to be careful.

"Yes, master." Dan Yao nodded, and her figure appeared around the ancient Bodhi tree, setting up countless warning formations.

As he sat down, wisps of clear air descended from the ancient Bodhi tree, revealing an atmosphere of tranquility, peace, wisdom and enlightenment. Li Ping'an swallowed the Bodhi mind into his mouth and slowly closed his eyes.

According to legend, Shakyamuni attained enlightenment under a Bodhi tree, and realized the five aggregates and seven sufferings of the world, as well as suffering, accumulation, cessation, and the path. He then created Mahayana Buddhism to save the world.

After hundreds of reincarnations, one can become a saint instantly!
The ancient Bodhi tree in Douqi Continent may not be as good as the Bodhi tree under which Buddha attained enlightenment, but it is equally meaningful to him.

And closing your eyes marks the beginning of a cycle of reincarnation.

The light green Bodhicitta fell into his heart, and gentle and nourishing energy was released, extending from the heart to his limbs and bones, and finally rising into the sea of ​​consciousness in his brain.

The red-gold magic power of the Red Emperor Fire Emperor was suddenly stained with a hint of light green, like a drop of water falling into hot oil, and countless magic powers rolled.

However, the power of wood increased and the fire power, the Red Emperor's Fire Emperor's aura was not only not affected, but on the contrary, it was as if he had taken a tonic pill, and his magic power increased.

But this is not the entire effect, Bodhi is wisdom.

Bodhicitta is naturally a heart of wisdom. Under its influence, Li Pingan's mind was completely immersed in the cycle of reincarnation.

…………

"Fighting Qi, third stage!"

Li Pingan opened his eyes and what came into view was a stone tablet used to test fighting spirit. He looked at his own hands, which were small and extremely white and tender.

Looking at the other people around him, most of them were children around seven or eight years old.

They were all like him, testing the fighting spirit.

In the distance, adults were watching, looking either nervous or happy.

"So this is the reincarnation of the ancient Bodhi tree..." Looking at this scene, Li Pingan's eyes flashed with a hint of understanding.

The person he possessed was a dead creature on the Douqi Continent, and he will experience this person's life from now on.

The ancient Bodhi tree is only a treasure of the Douqi Continent. Naturally, it is impossible for it to evolve true reincarnation for him. All reincarnations come from the fragmented memories of the souls of the people on the Douqi Continent.

It was just like the negative emotions and resentment that filled the air when Dou Di died were absorbed by the ancient Bodhi tree.

It wanders beneath the earth, acting as an invisible soul purifier on the continent.

Absorbing the soul fragments left by generations of people in the Douqi Continent, finally some tough and powerful soul memories were preserved and engraved on the ancient Bodhi tree, thus forming a reincarnation illusion.

Is such a soul illusion useful?

"Of course it works!"

Li Pingan felt the difference in his body. Under the influence of Bodhicitta, he was completely immersed in the illusion of reincarnation, which was different from the illusion created by the Yin-Yang dual flames.

This illusion has a nearly real feeling, perhaps because the ancient Bodhi tree absorbed countless soul fragments from the Douqi Continent, affecting each other's structure, and almost perfectly reproduced the entire Douqi Continent. Perhaps it can be considered that this is the Douqi Continent virtualized by the soul, a one-to-one real existence, but the time is countless times faster.

"One reincarnation lasts for a hundred years, and a hundred reincarnations last for ten thousand years."

As soon as he thought about it, the reincarnation before his eyes could be regarded as a panoramic and realistic simulator, where he could practice magic power, supernatural powers, and comprehend the realm.

This is not just a pure benefit, it is much better than what he imagined, that is, accepting some illusion to comprehend life.

What reference does other people's lives have for him? Li Pingan believes in himself more!

"child."

The old man who was guarding the fighting spirit detection stone tablet in the cycle of reincarnation was about to say something to Li Ping'an, but Li Ping'an was too lazy to listen and ran away to practice hard.

As for what role the possessed person plays in this reincarnation and what experiences he has, what does that have to do with him?

In the next reincarnation, Li Pingan practiced step by step.

However, the environment of the Douqi Continent is not as good as that of the Xuanhuang World, and there are no elixir resources. Even if he has the original experience, he will not be able to practice very quickly.

But even so, he advanced step by step to the tenth level of the physical body, the magical powers, true qi, Yuan Gang, the Yin-Yang realm...

The illusion of reincarnation, thirty years later!

"Boom!"

Amidst a roar of magical power as huge as a landslide or tsunami, Li Ping'an felt his internal organs undergoing a transformation. A huge vortex of magical power, like a nebula, formed in his heart and quickly condensed into a formation!
The liver is wood, the spleen is earth, the heart is fire, the lungs are metal, and the kidneys are water.

The Red Emperor's Fire Emperor Qi belongs to the fire element. Fire is the heart, and the heart is the source of life activities.

In an instant, Li Pingan felt that his whole body was filled with boundless strength and a sense of security, and his life was greatly sublimated.

Heavenly Man Realm! At this moment, he broke through the boundary of heaven and man and officially stepped into the fifth level of supernatural power. From then on, he could refine spiritual tools. After obtaining natural treasures, he could also refine treasure tools!
In the Xuanhuang World, he will be revered as a real person with a lifespan of eight hundred years. Even forces like the Ten Sects of Immortal Dao will look up to him and he will be valued by the sects!
"Heavenly man, it's finally done!"

Li Ping'an opened his eyes, emitting an extremely sharp light, like two heavenly swords, tearing through the sky and shocking the heavens and the earth!

"boom!"

At the same time, the aura of magical power on Li Pingan's body under the ancient Bodhi tree suddenly changed. His heart was integrated with the Bodhi mind, and the heavenly formation formed was even more powerful than the one in the reincarnation illusion.

Moreover, he had absorbed so much strange fire before, which also showed its power, and directly pushed it into the state of great perfection, and traces of electric sparks formed.

"Bing Fire Divine Thunder! The master has made a breakthrough!"

Outside, Dan Yao seemed very excited. Becoming a celestial being would be an earth-shaking change. She could then practice other magical powers.

And at the moment when the great formation of heaven and man in the heart condensed and took shape, the terrifying magic power in Li Ping'an's body roared up, and it surged wildly like an angry dragon.

Two hundred thousand horses! Three hundred thousand horses! Four hundred thousand horses! Five hundred thousand horses! …

One million horses!!

In just a moment, Li Ping'an's magic power increased fivefold!
Above his head, a clear air rose up, containing boundless magical power and filled with the meaning of vastness and perfection!
It was as if there were a million black and yellow horses galloping on the plain, sweeping across the sky and earth and capable of tearing the sky apart. The terrifying fluctuations of magic power set off a hurricane, causing the trunk of the ancient Bodhi tree to shake and rustle.

The reincarnation illusion was almost unable to be maintained.

However, whether it can be maintained or not, it is the same to Li Pingan.

"It seems that this reincarnation is not without flaws now."

Li Ping'an looked at the surrounding environment and noticed a hint of disharmony, which made him sigh slightly.

His consciousness seemed to be split into two halves, and he could feel the reality and the reincarnation illusion at the same time. The magic power of millions of horses made him wake up all of a sudden. If he wanted to, he could easily tear apart this reincarnation illusion of a hundred lifetimes.

Originally, his soul was comparable to the Heavenly Man Realm, and comparable to the Heavenly Saint soul in this world. After breaking through the Heavenly Man Realm, his soul was sublimated to a higher level, becoming even more outrageously powerful.

The ancient Bodhi tree was troubled by the negative emotions in the soul fragments when the Dou Emperor died, proving that its strength is definitely not as good as that of the Dou Emperor.

A soul at the Heavenly Realm of Great Perfection can ignore this illusion, but for a soul at the Emperor Realm, the ancient Bodhi tree has no way of shaking it in the slightest.

But he did not tear the illusion apart and escape by force.

"The pure air of the ancient Bodhi tree is indeed helpful for enlightenment. Although the reincarnation illusion is not a true time acceleration, it is also useful for accelerating my thinking. The remaining ninety-nine lives can be used to comprehend magical powers and the three thousand great ways!"

Li Ping'an was meditating, to put it bluntly, he was just killing time to practice his supernatural powers.

The Douqi Continent does not have the golden elixirs and Dharma images of heaven and earth like those in the world of immortality, which allow one to directly devour and plunder other people's magical powers. If one wants to cultivate magical powers, he has to do it by himself.

“What a miserable life.”

Although he envied Fang Han's unearned gain, Li Ping'an still calmed down and began to practice his magical powers in the illusion.

The first to be affected is the Great Five Elements Technique!

In a blink of an eye, seventy years of reincarnation illusion passed, and Li Pingan was quietly comprehending the Great Five Elements Technique. Yan had already taught him all the core techniques and formulas!

"Green Emperor's Wood Emperor Skill, White Emperor's Gold Emperor Slash, Black Emperor's Water Emperor Fist, Yellow Emperor's Earth Emperor Dao, condense them!"

As his thought moved, four great formations of heaven and man rose up in his body. Among them, the Yellow Emperor's Earth Emperor's formation was larger, and the talismans were more real, but it was only at the minor success stage, barely better than the entry-level gold, wood, and water formations.

This was the result of his previous practice of Yama's Golden Body and condensing the Hell-Suppressing Flame.

As soon as these four great formations of heaven and man were completed, the entire reincarnation illusion began to tremble, as if it had reached some kind of limit.

Li Pingan sighed slightly, "It seems that I overestimated the power of the ancient Bodhi tree. It only allows me to reincarnate for one lifetime, but it is not enough to comprehend the realm and magical powers."

Just like the memory exploded, the reincarnation illusion suddenly crashed.

The Great Five Elements Technique is so terrifying that it is worthy of being among the top ten of the Three Thousand Great Ways. And this is something Li Pingan had already realized, otherwise the ancient Bodhi tree would not be able to simulate it even a little bit.

"Crack, click, click!"

The next moment, the reincarnation illusion was shattered and Li Pingan returned to reality.

Four great heavenly formations were also condensed inside the body, and with a loud bang, the five elements were completed.

Li Ping'an felt the magic power in his body surging again. The remaining medicinal power of Bodhicitta and Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit was instantly refined, and his magic power increased by 200,000 horses!
In other words, he now has the magical power of 1.2 million horses!

They are comparable to some major disasters caused by wind and fire.

"Owner!"

Dan Yao, who was waiting nearby, spoke happily and reported: "It has been a year now, and the Emperor Pill is almost ready."

Reincarnation is not a moment? But a year?
Li Ping'an nodded slightly. He was not surprised, because later when he condensed the other branches of the Great Five Elements Technique, his body under the Bodhi tree was also practicing. In essence, he was just using the reincarnation illusion to speed up his thinking speed, rather than really immersing himself in the illusion.

Otherwise, if it was just a simple perception, how could it be possible to condense four great formations of heaven and man and increase the mana of his 200,000 horses in reality.

What is wasted is naturally actual time.
