Finally, the time for the grand competition to end had arrived.

  The disciples of the sects in the Dark Forest began to gather at the predetermined locations, waiting for the elders of their respective sects to arrive and take them back.

  After Xiao Lingchen cured Yun Zhanyi of her poison, he seized the last moments to loot the Demon Race's lair.

  It must be said, what Ye Cangxuan mentioned earlier might indeed be true.

  The demons in the Dark Forest might really just be a branch of the true Demon Race, as the vast lair contained very few treasures.

  After searching for a long time, the two found nothing.

  Yun Zhanyi said, "It seems that what we looted from them earlier was already everything they had."

  "Shall we leave?"

  Even now, Yun Zhanyi felt weak, her legs trembling.

  She really didn't want to stay here any longer.

  Xiao Lingchen was about to agree.

  Suddenly, his chest became scorching hot.

  This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

  The Heaven and Earth Mirror once again emitted a guiding light.

  Xiao Lingchen's eyes lit up.

  Clearly, the Heaven and Earth Mirror had found a treasure for him!

  Without much thought, Xiao Lingchen followed the guidance of the Heaven and Earth Mirror and hurried forward.

  Before long.

  He led Yun Zhanyi through a cave and arrived at an open space.

  This clearing was empty, with only a withered ancient tree standing in the center.

  "This tree looks quite extraordinary!"

  Yun Zhanyi examined the ancient tree.

  Although the tree was withered, the lingering aura on it suggested it was anything but ordinary!

  Through the Heaven and Earth Mirror, Xiao Lingchen also learned about the tree's origin.

  [Bodhi Tree: A grade-less spiritual plant, a sacred tree of Buddhism nurtured by heaven and earth, containing supreme wisdom within its branches and leaves. Meditating under the tree can greatly enhance wisdom, with a chance to comprehend the Dao and improve one's aptitude!]

  Upon learning the tree's origin, Xiao Lingchen was somewhat incredulous.

  A sacred tree of Buddhism planted within a Demon Race lair!

  Even though this Bodhi Tree was nearly withered, it was still quite astonishing.

  Yun Zhanyi sighed, "It's a pity this ancient tree has withered, it seems to be of no use."

  "Let's leave."

  However, Xiao Lingchen thought differently.

  Since the Heaven and Earth Mirror recognized it and guided him here, he believed that even a withered Bodhi Tree must have great value!

  After some thought.

  Xiao Lingchen decided to take the Bodhi Tree with him.

  He used his spiritual power to uproot the entire Bodhi Tree and then planted it into the Secret Realm of the Cauldron of Fate.

  In the Secret Realm of the Cauldron of Fate, where spiritual qi was abundant, perhaps the Bodhi Tree could be revived!

  And to Xiao Lingchen's surprise.

  He was right!

  After transplanting the Bodhi Tree into the Secret Realm of the Cauldron of Fate.

  In the Hanging Mountain, from the cave abode where Yue Lianyi once resided, a pool of spiritual liquid seemed to be guided and flew out of the cave, then irrigated the Bodhi Tree!

  Xiao Lingchen had discovered this pool of spiritual liquid when he first entered the cave abode.

  He just never figured out its purpose.

  As a result, today, after the pool of spiritual liquid automatically irrigated the Bodhi Tree, it actually brought the tree back to life!

  At this moment, the branches and trunk of the Bodhi Tree became robust and strong, sprouting new buds, becoming lush and verdant.

  Even its size grew several times over, becoming a true ancient tree reaching the sky!

  Standing under the Bodhi Tree, Xiao Lingchen felt his mind clear and pure.

  His understanding of cultivation and the divine powers he had learned deepened significantly!
