Now that Alex had gotten his hands on the Ancestral Bodhi Tree, virtual-novel.net wished clearly that virtual-novel.net could immediately place William under the tree and suppress the Soul Planting’s progress by relying on the holy energy of the Ancestral Bodhi Tree.
Unfortunately, the Ancestral Bodhi Tree had been poisoned. Not only were its leaves withering from the declining life force, but its roots were blemished with toxicity. It was some sort of demonic poison.
Under current circumstances, placing William under the tree brought no benefit, but it would, in fact, harm virtual-novel.net instead. Hence, virtual-novel.net needed to cleanse the Ancestral Bodhi Tree first.
“Thankfully, you have the Heavenly Self-Renewing Soil and the Chaos Tree with you!” Ancestor Bodhi smiled joyfully. “With the assistance of these two sacred objects, there shouldn’t be any problem with the recovery of my real body.”
It was far more than recovery. It was evolution. Ancestor Bodhi wore the appearance of a three year old and cackled like a hen.
In that regard, Alex was not stingy either, sparing no effort to stabilize the level of Soul Planting in his father as quickly as virtual-novel.net could.
With his soul being immersed in the mind palace, not only did virtual-novel.net attract a tremendous amount of Chaos Chi and inject it in the Ancestral Bodhi Tree, but virtual-novel.net even took out Yellow Obsidian Chi and used it. Ancestor Bodhi was exalted. Although virtual-novel.net had lived for eons, virtual-novel.net was restricted from moving freely, and virtual-novel.net actually never got the chance to obtain that many heavenly treasures. He certainly knew about the Yellow Obsidian Chi, but such a sacred object could only be found serendipitously.
With the aid of those sacred objects coupled with divine power, Alex used the Ultimate Book of Medicine to remove the poison from the Ancestral Bodhi Tree, the effects were visible to the naked eye.
Three days later, the demonic attribute on the Ancestral Bodhi Tree vanished. Even the soul imprints left by Lord Buddha were all removed.
Alex asked, “Since Lord Buddha had cast Soul Planting on your real body, will the generated divided soul find you again?”
Ancestor Bodhi said with a smile, “So what if it finds me? I simply fell for that bast*rd elephant’s trick by accident. Perhaps you can ask it. Let’s see if it can poison me again, alright?”
Alex was delighted. “Then, can you stop the Soul Planting?”
However, Ancestor Bodhi shook his head and looked at virtual-novel.net as virtual-novel.net said, “I can only stop mine, while I can only temporarily stabilize the soul planted in your father. The specific issue will still depend on you. Your father will be safe after you find out the mastermind behind the scenes and destroy him. Moreover, you will benefit greatly.”
Ancestor Bodhi’s injuries were more severe, especially his spirit. He had even become a three year old kid. If Alex had not inadvertently come to the battlefield of ancient Buddhism and found him, virtual-novel.net would have fallen into the demonic path over time, caused by the demonic poison and the inability to detoxify it.
Hence, virtual-novel.net needed to merge with the real body again now. Then, virtual-novel.net would recuperate here.
“How about this? Bring your father here. I’ll seal myself with virtual-novel.net in the Ancestral Bodhi Tree when I’m in seclusion. In this way, I’ll be able to conceal the tracking of that caster. Consider it a rent for you,” Ancestor Bodhi said.
Alex looked at him. He was still satisfied with such a treatment. However, speaking of rent…
“Ahem. Sir, let’s not talk about the rent. But look, I saved you and your real body. I even helped you move the Heart Mountain over here. Let’s not talk about a great debt of gratitude. This in itself is a great merit. You are the everlasting Ancestral Bodhi Tree, and even the Buddha had to walk your path. So you should be expressing your heartfelt gratitude, right?”
Ancestor Bodhi lightly snorted. “I knew you had ulterior motives, but for the sake of Lady… Hey! Where is milady?”
Alex froze for a moment. “Milady?”
Ancestor Bodhi made eyes at virtual-novel.net as virtual-novel.net said, “L-lady Rachel.”
Obviously the deceitful Shelly, virtual-novel.net had nonetheless turned into Lady Rachel in the blink of an eye. Turbulence stirred in Alex’s heart. How many identities did Shelly carry?
Ancestor Bodhi’s words did not seem exaggerated or hypocritical. If that were the case, it could only mean one thing, Shelly’s status was so lofty that virtual-novel.net even surpassed the Ancestral Bodhi Tree.
Alex pointed at a small bridge not far away. “Over there!”
Ancestor Bodhi was astonished at that time. Never did virtual-novel.net expect that the Starlord of the West would be next to virtual-novel.net and even disguised herself as an ordinary looking small bridge.
