”Don't worry, I mean no harm!”
Seeing the entirely verdant and ancient tree constantly shaking, Li Dao couldn't help but to laugh. Although this ancient tree had a high intelligence, it was very simple.
After hearing Li Dao's words, the ancient tree finally quieted down. A ball of light emerged from the tree trunk, which looked like a heart.
Li Dao understood. This was most likely the so-called Bodhisattva Heart.
It was similar to the crystal cores of magical beasts, the demonic cores of demonic beasts, and the primordial spirits of human cultivators.
In that glowing ball of light, one could vaguely see a 90,000 foot tall ancient tree that was similar in appearance to the 10,000 foot tall ancient tree in front of them.
Then, one by one, the images began to appear. These were the memories of the ancient tree.
The beast tide that blotted out the sky and covered the earth was fleeing across the plains. It was as if they had met their natural enemy. Following the aura that was as vast as an abyss, a black figure descended from the sky.
This figure landed in front of the ancient Bodhi tree, a cold light glimmering in his eyes.
Li Dao was deep in thought. The black clothed man in the picture was actually a Dou Di.
The black-clothed figure stood in the air. A kind of aura that seemed to be a supreme being slowly spread out from within the person's body. Even the enormous ancient Bodhi tree, which was over ninety thousand feet in size, appeared extremely small in the face of this aura.
The black figure stood in front of the massive Bodhi tree for a while, and after looking at it for a while, without saying anything further, he suddenly launched an attack towards the tree. Facing his attack, the Bodhi tree angrily retaliated, and a monstrous energy emanated from the tree trunk as it charged forward. In this terrifying clash, even the heavens and earth were collapsing.
Although the ancient tree's life force was as majestic as that of a Dou Emperor, even surpassing that of a Dou Emperor, it was still just a tree after all. Other than an energy collision, there was no other killing method.
The black-clothed Dou Emperor began to extract the ancient tree's essence and feed it to his body. She healed her injuries and allowed the ancient tree to struggle freely. His tall body began to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Just as the ancient tree was about to give up all hope, the black-clothed Dou Emperor's enemy arrived.
With the help of the ancient tree, the black-clothed Dou Di was killed by his opponent.
Although the black-clothed Dou Emperor had been killed, her corpse revealed a sense of despair, anger, unwillingness, and other negative emotions before she had fallen and had spread into the ancient tree's body.
In the past ten million years, no matter what methods the ancient tree used, it had been unable to expel the negative emotions that invaded the black-clothed Dou Emperor's body. Instead, the negative emotions gradually strengthened and gave birth to a new intelligence, turning into a new soul that shared a body with the ancient tree.
Hence, the black clothed Dou Di's negative emotions gave birth to a new soul that was not strong enough to cause the ancient tree to constantly suppress it.
