Chapter 1070 - Bodhi Ancient Tree Chooses Its Master

Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish.

The area was soon jam-packed with geniuses eyeing the Bodhi ancient tree. They had Chen Fan and the Bodhi ancient tree surrounded.

Thankfully, they ignored the seventh-level weakling. In their eyes, he wasn’t even qualified to let them look at.

Chen Fan scanned his surroundings. The number of peak Manifestation realm experts was beyond counting on both hands.

Among the crowd, ninth-level Manifestation realm experts numbered at least twenty to thirty. It was a clear testament to the tree’s allure.

Who wouldn't desire a treasure that could set them apart from their entire generation?

Fortunately, all those currently vying for the tree were below the Legendary realm, allowing Chen Fan to relax slightly.

Yuwen Hong and the others exchanged sharp looks. With so many contenders, it was clear: only one could walk away with the treasure. And the only way to decide who... was to fight.

“It is mine!” Suddenly, Yuwen Hong made a move, taking a big step out and turning into a stream of light, grabbing at the Bodhi ancient tree.

“In your dreams!”

“It’s mine!”

“Don’t even think about it!”

Yuwen Hong’s actions enraged all the young experts, making them roar out and attack him. All kinds of attacks swept out like a storm.

But he had been expecting it. With practiced ease, he evaded the barrage and pressed forward, hand still reaching for the tree.

Seeing as Yuwen Hong was about to seize the initiative, the others refused to back down.

“Fire Spirit Seal Scripture!”

Lian Huaqing, a genius from the Fire Reverence Cult, immediately formed a seal scripture, absorbing endless primeval qi in a flash and condensing into a towering seal. The seal burned with raging flames, and he sent it smashing toward Yuwen Hong.

Rumble!

The earth split apart with a deafening roar.

Yuwen Hong narrowly evaded the blast, retreating just in time as a massive crater opened where he'd once stood. Magma bubbled and hissed within, heat waves distorting the air.

“This is mine. None of you can take it!” Yang Chongxiao raised his eyebrow, emanating an unparalleled air of dominance. Terrifying saber qi swept out in all directions as a hand—large enough to blot out the sky—grabbed at the Bodhi ancient tree.

At this point, no one would retreat. No one could.

At this time, a crisp, metallic sound rang out in the air. A golden sword, vast as a mountain range, materialized in the air and came crashing down with unstoppable force.

Clang!

Yang Chongxiao's hand exploded from the attack of Wu Clan’s pride, Wu Jinhong.

Rumble!

Since everyone wanted the tree, no one was willing to let anyone else take it.

The moment someone reached for it, the others retaliated—it was a delicate dance of greed, fury, and pride.

An overwhelming aura erupted from Yang Chongxiao as he glared at Wu Jinhong. “How dare you, Wu Jinhong. How dare you stop me from seizing it? You deserve a thousand deaths. Not even the Wu Clan can protect you!”

But Wu Jinhong remained calm, sword qi circling him, as if he could unleash a devastating strike at any moment. He said indifferently, “Spare me your empty threats, Yang Chongxiao. If you want the Bodhi Ancient Tree, then earn it. My sword has no eyes; it cuts down whoever stands in its path.”

Words were meaningless in this situation.

One could only rely on their strength, as with enough strength, they could force everyone into submission and seize the Bodhi ancient tree.

However, how many people would dare to act recklessly in a melee with dozens of experts?

Several tactless guys rushed to the front, only to be bombarded by attacks and instantly blown to pieces.

Only people like Yuwen Hong, Yang Chongxiao, Wu Jinhong, Lian Huaqing, and Yue Yu—overlord-class prodigies a cut above the rest—dared to make a move now, risking incurring the wrath of everyone nearby.

“Get lost! This Bodhi ancient tree was bestowed upon me, Yue Yu, by the heavens. None of you can take it!”

Yuwen Hong roared angrily. His expression was hideous.

He had arrived first and could’ve taken the tree and slipped away unnoticed. However, Yang Chongxiao and the others arrived unexpectedly fast, throwing everything into chaos and leaving him the most frustrated of all.

At this moment, dozens of experts were in a chaotic brawl. Whoever tried to approach the Bodhi ancient tree would be attacked by the joint forces of everyone else.

As for Chen Fan, they had truly ignored him.

“Ahhh, you damned scoundrels. I, Yuwen Hong, chased it here first. The tree is mine!”

“Hmph, keep your bullshit to yourself. For a divine creature like the Bodhi ancient tree, the strongest takes it. And for the record, I was the one who discovered it first, so it should be mine!”

“Kill, kill, kill! Anyone who dares touch my Bodhi Ancient Tree, I’ll fight to the death.”

Chen Fan was in the middle of the battle circle, looking at the crowd battling chaotically, blinking. No one was paying any attention to him.

To them, if he even thought about claiming the Bodhi Ancient Tree, he’d be blasted to dust in an instant.

Suddenly, Yue Yu’s voice rang out, ordering Chen Fan to capture the Bodhi ancient tree and hand it over to him.

“Kid, capture the Bodhi ancient tree for me. Do that, and I’ll let you join our Yue Clan and even bestow you the surname Yue, making you one of us.”

Immediately, someone rebuked and threatened Chen Fan.

“Brat, you dare!”

Wu Jinhong’s gaze shone with viciousness. He had decided to get rid of the hindrance, Chen Fan, first, and casually sent a slash at him.

“Hmph, count yourself unlucky, brat. Go to hell!”

He used sixty percent of his strength in this slash. Even an eighth-level Manifestation realm expert would fall to it, let alone Chen Fan.

Chen Fan’s face darkened. Wu Jinhong was truly overbearing. He punched and shattered the oncoming sword qi.

Wu Jinhong raised his eyebrow in surprise.

“Hmm?”

Suddenly, the Bodhi ancient tree moved. It ran behind Chen Fan and sank its roots into the ground. Next, it spread its branches and leaves, enveloping him within, looking like it had recognized Chen Fan as its master.

Instantly, Chen Fan’s heart cleared—like clouds parting to reveal a tranquil sky. All worldly chaos and desire felt distant, revealing his true core.

His thoughts sharpened.

Martial arts puzzles that had long eluded him unraveled with ease. His Martial Soul seemed to have completely harmonized with heaven and earth, and countless laws appeared before his eyes.

Chen Fan sensed that in this instant, he could wield five more threads of law almost immediately.

Simply perceiving the laws was already very difficult. To master them was even more so.

He had been trapped in that Greater Legendary realm’s tomb for close to half a year. As he continuously perceived the laws, he had only mastered three more threads. But now, the number of laws he had mastered increased by five in just moments.

The miraculous effect of the Bodhi ancient tree truly lived up to its reputation.
