Chapter 1 Buddha-Venerable Enlightenment Bodhi Tree?

Lin Boxun was still feeling bewildered when he sensed the message transmitted by the Da Zai Ji system.

In the eyes of the Da Zai Ji system, any world has traces to follow, rather than being chaotic and disorderly.

In other words, from the beginning of heaven and earth to the end of the universe, all variables, no matter how bizarre, are predetermined.

Beneath the intricate complexity of thousands of vines, there must be a towering tree serving as the foundation of everything.

Some call it destiny, while others call it fate.

Fate evolves in countless ways, with all things and spirits within it, but with different emphases. Some are as insignificant as dust, while others shine like stars.

The former needs no explanation, while the events that occur between the latter are referred to by the Da Zai Ji system as 'major events'.

"...What does that mean?"

With countless messages surging, Lin Boxun felt overwhelmed and unable to understand the meaning of these messages for a time.

For him, concepts like destiny and fate seemed too difficult to comprehend.

...In other words, the scene before him is a major event that can change the world and be remembered by heaven and earth.

Perhaps accustomed to its host's foolishness, the Da Zai Ji system quickly switched to simpler words that he could understand.

"Can be remembered by heaven and earth?"

Lin Boxun looked up at the boundless night sky, filled with stars, and felt a tremor in his heart, along with a hint of understanding.

This young prince, barely half a year old, would be an extremely remarkable existence...

Being born into a royal family already surpassed countless people in the world, and he also had such good fortune and luck. How envious would that be?

He was already born with everything he had sought his entire life, and he could also be remembered by heaven and earth, stirring up the world.

What about himself?

Without the Da Zai Ji system, he might not even have been able to climb to the position of front yard manager until his death, right?

It was foreseeable that his life would be spent working until he could no longer move, marrying a maidservant who had been played with by who knows how many people, and giving birth to a son who would suffer the same miserable fate, right?

Lin Boxun felt a mix of emotions, envy, and even a suppressed jealousy.

"The world's greatest resentment is having what others don't..."

Lin Boxun murmured in his heart.

The Da Zai Ji system continued to transmit messages, eventually summarizing them and displaying them in the simplest terms in Lin Boxun's mind.

[Enlightenment Bodhi Tree: A tree under which a Buddha-Venerable attained enlightenment, containing boundless good fortune, suspected to be related to the Buddha-Venerable's attainment of the Dao, with mysteries within.]

He wondered if it was just his imagination, but he seemed to sense a hint of fluctuation in that voice.

"He's so young and he can already attain enlightenment under the tree. Could I... could I also?"

Looking at the child sitting under the tree, Lin Boxun's heart pounded. "Or, if I were to convert the source power of such a tree, to what extent could I improve my physique?"

Insect, Scale, Jiao, God, Dragon, Human... to what extent could he improve?

Something that could be remembered by heaven and earth should have a lot of source power, right?

After looking around several times and not noticing anyone else spying, he mustered his courage, stepped out of the shadows, and walked towards the Enlightenment Bodhi Tree.

A month ago, he wouldn't have dared to approach the young prince without borrowing ten times his courage.

But now, although he still had some trepidation in his heart, he no longer felt fear.

Or rather, desire had suppressed the fear in his heart.

Step by step, he walked towards the Bodhi Tree.

At the same time, watching the approaching Lin Boxun and the increasingly deepening crisis, the Three-Heart Blue Spirit Child was also anxiously jumping up and down.

"Wake up! Wake up!"

The Blue Spirit Child kept emitting waves, trying to awaken An Qisheng's original wisdom.

Because no matter how it called, An Qisheng's original wisdom remained unresponsive, and yet it dared not disobey An Qisheng's orders to step out of the Bodhi Tree.

It could only watch helplessly as the person got closer and closer.

"This is going to be the death of me..."

With a sense of crisis surging in its heart, the Blue Spirit Child finally couldn't help but take one last glance at Gautama, who was deep in enlightenment within the Bodhi Tree's inner space.

With a thought, a tidal wave of information surged from its body!

Its race, or rather all the trillions of species in the Three-Heart World, had been cursed by the Nightmare Nine-Headed Serpent progenitor, forbidding them from cultivating.

But that didn't mean it had no means of self-protection!

Its race was the race favored by heaven in the Three-Heart World, the race of creation and good fortune. Even if it had been reduced to recording information for the Nightmare Nine-Headed Serpent race, it wasn't without the power to fight back.

Information itself couldn't attack or defend, but enough information flow could completely burst the soul of the person coming!

Boom!

In the dark night, a thunderclap resounded, and lightning flashed across the void, illuminating a corner of the courtyard where the Bodhi Tree was located.

Lin Boxun had already bypassed Gautama and was reaching out his palm towards the Bodhi Tree when he was startled by the sudden lightning.

Just as his body trembled, he felt a chill between his eyebrows, followed by a booming explosion in his mind, as if he had been struck in the face by a sledgehammer, and he saw stars for a moment.

"Ah!"

His body trembled, and he almost cried out.

But before he could cry out, endless information surged into his mind!

The information was so fierce, so vast, that for a moment, he felt as if he were a small boat in the stormy sea on a stormy night.

Adrift with the waves, he could be destroyed at any moment!

"What happened?"

He was extremely horrified, but he couldn't even move his thoughts. His mind was completely filled with the surging information.

His external body lost control, and he staggered and fell to the ground.

"Burst you!"

Inside the Bodhi Tree, the Blue Spirit Child gritted its teeth.

The crisis it sensed in its heart was so strong that it didn't hold back at all, and almost blasted out all the useless information outside its core.

It had existed for who knows how long, and had followed Russell and An Qisheng through many worlds. If the information it had contacted and possessed were converted into human text, it would be enough to fill the starry sky!

When this bombardment was unleashed, even though Lin Boxun's mind was shrouded by the Da Zai Ji system, he was momentarily dazed and didn't know where he was.

It seemed that he would be completely destroyed in the next moment.

Buzz~

Just then, the Blue Spirit Child's heart suddenly leaped wildly.

Under the surge of information, it finally sensed the source of the crisis!

It was a ray of light that was darker than all the darkness in the world. It was like a 'black hole', opening its giant mouth and sucking in all the information it released at a speed beyond its imagination.

And it transformed it into a wave that it had never seen or heard of before, flawlessly shrouding the youth's soul in light!

And it strengthened his soul and body at a rate visible to the naked eye!

.....

After a moment of trance, Lin Boxun was awakened by the continuous prompts, and at the same time, he felt the huge changes that were taking place in his body.

An unprecedented pleasure filled his body and mind, and an endless amount of power surged in his heart and body.

"This, this is the Enlightenment Bodhi Tree?"

Lin Boxun was completely shocked, and then an even greater greed arose. If he could completely absorb the entire tree, to what extent could he reach?

"What is this thing?!"

Lin Boxun was overjoyed, but the Blue Spirit Child was shocked and angry. It was the first time that its information had been absorbed by someone.

Although the information it had released was all useless and mixed, and there were backups, the feeling of being squeezed like this was still unbearable.

But when it tried to break free, it was sucked in by an infinite suction force, and it seemed that it would be completely pulled out of the Bodhi Tree in the next moment!

"Oh no....."

The Blue Spirit Child cried out in its heart, feeling that things were not good. Unable to endure any longer, it trembled and transformed into a bronze bell, suddenly vibrating and letting out the loudest roar of its life:

"Wake up!!!"

With a roar, the entire Bodhi Tree trembled. The spiritual rhyme golden cicada, which was lying on the trunk, fell down in fright and dropped into Gautama's sleeve, passing out.

Lin Boxun, who was an arm's length away from the Bodhi Tree, trembled wildly. This was no longer information, but a substantial sound wave.

With just this one blow, his internal organs were dislodged by the shock, and blood flowed from his seven orifices.

"Waste!"

Just as Lin Boxun's soul was flickering and almost collapsing due to his serious injuries, he suddenly heard a chilling and terrifying voice.

He looked over in horror.

In the dark sea of his heart, a hideous and distorted figure extended from a black light.

It was a terrifying existence beyond his imagination. Just one glance made his mind tremble and almost distort.

It seemed that anyone who saw that existence would have to transform into its form.

"You, you, who are you?"

Lin Boxun suddenly felt palpitations and a great fear: "Are you the Da Zai Ji system? No, no, I, I am the host, you, you can't!"

"Dwelling as a host! You are just my dwelling place, I am the master of the Heart Demon system!"

The sinister and distorted voice echoed through the sea of his heart, and even spread to the inner space of the Bodhi Tree:

"My name is Da Zai Ji!"

Boom!

Like being struck by lightning, the deeply rooted Bodhi Tree trembled as if struck by lightning. Its branches and leaves rustled and trembled, and its trunk suddenly turned yellow and cracked in large patches.

An invisible force flowed out from the voice, and the places where the sound waves reached, the houses, floors, artificial mountains, lakes, flowers, and plants in the courtyard, and even the lake water, all began to distort!

"Da Zai Ji?"

The Blue Spirit Child's information body was also distorted, and a great fear arose in its heart. It discovered that its form was also transforming into an unknown state at this moment.

Or rather, distorted!

Whoosh~

At this moment, a ray of clear light arose, its light like water, without any sharpness, but as it passed, it was like a large hand wiping over it, smoothing out the void inside and outside the Bodhi Tree that was about to be distorted.

Under such a huge commotion, An Qisheng, who was deep in the Bodhi Tree, finally woke up.

"Mr. Monster!"

The Blue Spirit Child first breathed a sigh of relief, but then its heart 'thumped' and it felt a chill.

An Qisheng in the clear light had even lost his form, or rather, An Qisheng, who had cut off all external Yuan Shen manifestations except for his original wisdom.

There was only this clear light left!

It's over, it's going to be completely planted this time...

The Blue Spirit Child groaned and covered its face.

"Lord of the Heart Demon? Da Zai Ji? I wonder what relationship it has with the Demon Saint under the ground?"

In the clear light, An Qisheng's voice was weak but calm, as if his state of mind had not been affected by the sudden change at all.

"Such pure light of the soul..."

The Da Zai Ji demonic shadow, looking at him across the shell, seemed a little surprised, and then smiled: "So it was formed by cutting off demonic thoughts, this venerable one thought you had cultivated to such a state of mind..."

There are thousands of paths of cultivation, and the path of the mind is the most elusive.

It is not that it is so strong that it is elusive, but that the path of the mind does not determine the height of one's realm. There are mortals with clear and intelligent minds, and there are also high-level powerhouses with ten thousand demons entangled in their hearts.

This was the first time he had seen someone who did not contain the slightest spiritual energy, had no Yuan Shen manifestation, and yet had such pure light of the soul.

It was precisely because of this that he was unable to distort this person.

"Gods and demons are like yin and yang, yin and yang can be combined or separated."

In the clear light, An Qisheng responded indifferently, as if there were no more distracting thoughts to be produced, and yet it seemed that infinite emotions were surging within:

"You don't understand."

When he dreamed back to the Spring and Autumn period, Lao Dan once gave him the comment 'Cut off all desires and demons to become a divine fetus'. An Qisheng did not regard it as a golden rule, but he would not ignore it in the slightest.

His original intention was for the soul to contain the paths of gods and demons, evolving a Taiji diagram of gods and demons.

Unfortunately, there were too many changes. After cutting off his Yuan Shen to attract the attention of the enemy behind the scenes, he felt that his gods and demons were tending towards imbalance.

Therefore, he cut off the incomplete Yuan Shen and turned it into the body of the Bodhi seed, containing his own 'demonic thoughts'.

Leaving only his most original 'true self'.

"Why understand?"

In the dark demonic light, the distorted demonic shadow stretched out, like the shadow of dark clouds flowing to the earth, its shape like a palm and a claw, grabbing towards the Bodhi Tree:

"Swallow you, and everything will be clear!"
