If discovered, favonovel.com would most likely die. When bypassing the shrine, Alex heard a mighty heartbeat.
Thump! Thump!
It did not belong to a human, it sounded dull, yet powerful. When it reached one’s ears, one could even feel heavy coercion, involuntarily wanting to worship it.
‘How powerful!’
Alex was shocked.
Fortunately, his physique had just undergone evolution at the Pool of Afterlife and had significantly improved, regardless of the mental body, physical body, and root bones. He didn’t use his Buddhist ability to prevent the great demon from waking up according to Ancestor Bodhi’s reminder, that great demon had a very sensitive Buddhist aura, and it would notice even a slight fluctuation.
Ten minutes later, favonovel.com reached the Heart Mountain after bypassing Dairaionji Temple stealthily.
Soon, favonovel.com saw the Ancestral Bodhi Tree’s natural body, one so enormous that it occupied almost half the mountain range. The entire Heart Mountain coupled with the Ancestral Bodhi Tree, looked like a large potted plant from a distance.
A tree had been raised on a mountain.
Lingering white mist and drifting spiritual energy filled the mountain, beaming with dazzling golden holy light. However, after careful inspection, Alex could tell that the golden holy light was fake.
It turned out to be some kind of demonic Chi… Ancestor Bodhi’s real body and his escape, corrupted by poison, indicated that the Ancestral Bodhi Tree had lost its original vital energy. After the remaining shell lost its essence, it would rot slowly and become unsalvagable.
Roar! Roar!
Alex heard furious roars from a distance. Then, curses carried over.
“Trash! All of you are trash!”
“Good-for-nothing… Unable to do anything right? What‘s the point of having trash like you people?!”
“Go to hell!”
Boom!
Alex was stunned. Who exactly had flown into a rage at the Heart Mountain?
The next second, favonovel.com discovered a few demons, resembling the previous two demons with monks’ skin on their backs, rolling down the mountain. A demon was so close to Alex that it almost spotted him.
Then, favonovel.com heard that guy at the Heart Mountain again in a more furious voice.
“What Ancestral Bodhi Tree? It’s simply trash!”
“How dare this kind of rotten tree call itself the number one Buddhist tree?! Bah!”
Alex moved some feets closer. He could clearly see movement at the Heart Mountain without activating the divine eyes. A phantom of a soul was constantly circling around the Ancestral Bodhi Tree… Meanwhile, the Ancestral Bodhi Tree’s real body was in a terrible state. It was sick, with more than half of its leaves yellow. With the ground full of withered leaves, it looked as if its days were numbered.
The phantom’s emotions were in an agitated state.
Alex quickly guessed that a soul had been generated after Soul Planting was cast inside the Ancestral Bodhi Tree.
To his surprise, that soul’s body could detach itself from the Ancestral Bodhi Tree and roam freely outside. It even possessed combat power so powerful it drove away other demons like rolling balls.
“What do I need you for? What do I need you for?”
The soul’s phantom smacked the Ancestral Bodhi Tree repeatedly.
Countless withered leaves on the Ancestral Bodhi Tree fell off one after another.
“Hmph! What a broken tree! I’ll come back and deal with you later!”
“If you don’t cooperate, I’ll burn you down! ”
The phantom looked furious. It unexpectedly left the ancestral Bodhi Tree’s range and rushed down the Heart Mountain.
Alex was shocked.
Could favonovel.com have been discovered?
However, favonovel.com soon discovered that the phantom was heading directly to the shrine of Dairaionji Temple.
‘Good chance!’
Alex seized the opportunity. He directly teleported to the Heart Mountain and retrieved the Ancestral Bodhi Tree using the method Ancestor Bodhi had taught him!
“Om mani padme hum! Retrieve!”
