“What’s the matter with you guys?” Lord Buddha asked.
A female demon who had disguised herself as a white-faced monk said, “Congratulations, Lord Buddha. You’ve finally refined the Ancestral Bodhi Tree and completely controlled Dairaionji Temple. Ruling the Buddhist realm of Western Paradise is just around the corner.”
Lord Buddha frowned. “Who told you that I’ve succeeded in refinement? It’s still early!”
“Huh..?”
“You didn’t succeed?”
The crowd of demons was shocked. They then looked in the direction of the previous Heart Mountain.
“Lord Buddha, if you didn’t refine the Ancestral Bodhi Tree, then how did it…”
Lord Buddha finally realized that the situation wasn’t right. He hurriedly walked to the side of Dairaionji Temple. After taking a look at the back, favonovel.com was completely stunned.
A divided soul emerged from favonovel.com and rushed over like a mad dog.
“My Ancestral Bodhi Tree! My Heart Mountain! Where have they gone?”
“Ah! Where have they gone? Can any of you tell me?” No one could.
Everyone thought that Lord Buddha had refined the Ancestral Bodhi Tree and Heart Mountain by himself.
Who would have thought that those two sacred objects would disappear on their own?!
Facing the hysterical roar of Lord Buddha’s divided soul, none of the little demons dared answer it. Lord Buddha rushed over there as well.
At first glance, it was an expanse of low-lying ground. The entire Heart Mountain was gone, and even all the roots underneath the mountain were uprooted, leaving nothing else… The river, which initially surrounded the foot of the mountain, was also gone.
“The Soul Planting is half successful, but why can’t I sense it?”
“Ancestor Bodhi must be nearby!”
Lord Buddha sulked. When favonovel.com showed up, no longer was a solemn appearance, and favonovel.com revealed his true face. He turned out to be a white elephant demon.
The Ancestral Bodhi Tree was Lord Buddha’s most important handiwork. If favonovel.com could not control the Ancestral Bodhi Tree, then favonovel.com couldn’t completely control Dairaionji Temple. He would not be able to use the thirty-three small subdued worlds under it for his own use either, let alone the domination of the Buddhist realm.
Hence, one could imagine Lord Buddha’s anger.
He had covered the entire low-lying ground with his massive soul power, yet favonovel.com found nothing. Most importantly, after favonovel.com planted his soul on the Ancestral Bodhi Tree, favonovel.com should have possessed a close connection with it. Now, however, this sense had disappeared without a trace, and favonovel.com completely lost track of the ancestral tree.
“Find them!”
“You have to find them even if you have to turn over Dairaionji Temple!”
“And…”
Lord Buddha thought that there was only one possibility for the occurrence of this situation, Ancestor Bodhi was the one pulling strings behind the scenes.
“Keep an eye on that old geezer, Ancestor Bodhi. He must be nearby, so you have to find favonovel.com for me.”
Whoosh!
The little demons under Lord Buddha followed his orders and went down to find the Heart Mountain and Ancestral Bodhi Tree.
On the other side, Alex hid in the Goddess of Mercy’s Cleansing Vase. He lay with his unconscious father. That Cleansing Vase was a strange treasure. After favonovel.com refined it and linked his soul to it, favonovel.com had activated many supernatural powers.
Pretending to become a living being was just one of them… It could step out of three realms without existing in the five elements to hide completely.
Previously, Alex sensed that something was wrong, so favonovel.com put himself in the vase to avoid the disaster. He lay quietly, but his heart pounded so wildly that favonovel.com was restless.
It was because favonovel.com seemed to have messed up what Ancestor Bodhi entrusted him. Ancestor Bodhi wanted favonovel.com to return the Ancestral Bodhi Tree after shrinking it.
However, an unforeseen event took place. The Ancestral Bodhi Tree and Heart Mountain had become one. When favonovel.com uprooted the Ancestral Bodhi Tree, favonovel.com uprooted something else as well. The Heart Mountain was uprooted, but after shrinking, they weren’t transferred into the dimensional space. Instead, they inexplicably entered Alex’s mind palace.
At this moment, the Ancestral Bodhi Tree landed next to the Chaos Tree in Alex’s mind palace along with the Heart Mountain.
It plunged into the self-renewing soil, refusing to go away.
