C818 The true patriarch subhuti
Crash! *
Not much time had passed, and Qin Shaojie's dozens of Bodhi seed's energy seemed to have been continuously absorbed, as the originally lush dragon-eye sized seed continued to wither until it finally turned into dust, and turned into nourishment for the heaven and earth, disappearing without a trace.
And in this situation, the previously pitch-black Bodhi Tree seemed to have regained some of its vitality, as it let out some sounds. Soon after, an emerald green color gradually bloomed on the Bodhi Tree, and following the appearance of the first strand of emerald green, a chain reaction slowly appeared on top of the huge Bodhi Tree, as if it was the first time Qin Shaojie and Yun'er had ever felt such life force!
It seemed that there was still some effect.
Opening his eyes, he saw the change in the Bodhi tree, a smile had also appeared on Qin Shaojie's face, while Yun'er hurriedly nodded her head.
The pitch-black space was filled with an extremely uncomfortable evil qi. It was obvious that it was caused by that spirit body from before. The Bodhi tree was a treasure of heaven and earth, countless experts had tried to follow it, but unfortunately, fate did not exist. If it were to fall and dissipate just like that, it would be a great loss to the entire Tian Yuan Continent.
Qin Shaojie was not sure if the real Patriarch Subhuti had woken up, but he knew that at this rate, waking up would only be a matter of time.
Patriarch Subhuti was one of the most mysterious existences in the world. If he was given even the slightest bit of hope, he would be able to recover. Of course, even if he wanted to, he would be unable to do anything about it. All the Bodhi seed had already been used up previously.
A Bodhi seed had a great effect on a martial artist, but it was still lacking when compared to the Bodhi tree.
Let's go, the following matters are not something that we can do anything about.
Qin Shaojie then looked at Yun'er. Without the entanglement of the Nine Star Devil Poison, Yun'er had improved a lot. Perhaps in this place, Patriarch Subhuti still had some worries, and so, in Qin Shaojie's opinion, if Patriarch Subhuti was given enough time, he would be given enough time to rest. Perhaps after a few more decades, the Bodhi tree would once again be filled with life force.
Little friend, please wait.
Just as the two of them were preparing to leave, an ancient voice with a sense of reincarnation slowly appeared. The voice was not loud and it even gave off a rather weak feeling. But when they heard this voice, Qin Shaojie and Chen Yuner suddenly stopped in their tracks. They turned around, and a ball of light appeared behind them.
The light was weak, but it could still be seen clearly. One of the elderly men's stooped figure was hobbling towards them.
This old man's body was extremely similar to the black figure from before. Even his somewhat empty face was somewhat imaginary.
But the only difference was that the old man's aura was extremely amiable, making it difficult for Qin Shaojie and Chen Yuner to produce any sort of enmity. Under the gentle light, it gave this old man an additional hint of kindness.
Kid Qin Shaojie greets Patriarch Subhuti!
Qin Shaojie was a smart person. After a short moment of astonishment, his face revealed a happy expression, because he was sure that this person was a real Old Man Bodhi.
Chen Yuner, who was at the side, also hurriedly bowed. The aura of this old man's body caused her breathing to become even, as if he had a strong restraining effect on the remaining Nine Star Devil Poison in her body. The appearance of this old man was a sign that he was able to withstand the poison that had entered his body several hours ago.
Everything in the world has karma, and this time, the karma is finally released because of you two. This old man owes you a huge favor.
This person was clearly the real Patriarch Subhuti. Even though he appeared rather weak, his words did not have much of an advantage over Patriarch Subhuti. It was said that the true Patriarch Subhuti, who had transcended the mortal world, possessed great wisdom. It seems so now.
Even though he was previously in a deep slumber, he was quite clear about what was happening in the outside world.
When he sensed the life force radiating from the Bodhi seed, he knew that the previous darkness had probably ended. The true morning sun would be reborn.
Heaven and Earth didn't think that there was a chance left. However, the great wisdom of the Bodhi tree made Patriarch Subhuti unwilling to give up on his final hope. He was always waiting, waiting for the dark dawn to dissipate and the spring sun to arrive. He knew that the extremes of nature were reversed, and when his negative emotions devoured the life force of the real world and completely sealed himself away, he knew that this might be the key to bringing about recovery.
Even when he completely disappeared into thin air and became the energy supply for the negative emotions, he had no regrets, because all of this was caused by him.
If there were no outsiders to solve it, then he would have to bear the consequences himself.
Back then, Old Man Subhuti had lived for countless years. He possessed the greatest wisdom in the world, and he didn't participate in mundane battles, disdaining to fight over external energy. This was because he himself transcended the world.
What he pursued was never immortality, nor was it the realm of martial arts. What he cared about was absolute freedom and freedom.
He did not want the heaven and earth to restrain him, did not want him to be chased by all living things. He only cared about his own world.
He was one and the same, a sect of his own, with endless years of history. He had even fought with saints before. Thus, in this world, there was nothing that could arouse his desire once again.
Desire is the absence of desire. True desire is the absence of desire, so only by doing so can one transcend everything. This was probably the direction he was working towards.
If it was his only regret, it was that he did not know where he had come from. Perhaps it was the first intelligence born in the Tian Yuan Continent, or perhaps it was an existence that was not above the Tian Yuan Continent. So many years ago, he wanted to know the origin of this world and understand what the beginning of this world was.
In order to reach this step, he believed that he needed greater intelligence. In order to achieve this goal, he had used all the methods in his arsenal and forcefully extracted all the negative emotions in his body. These negative emotions included all kinds of hostility, desire, impatience, and so on.
Only by doing this could he become truly without desires and without desires. He would pursue the eternal existence in his own realm, obtaining the world's origin in a carefree state, and getting close to the world's most essential eternity.
Desire makes no desire. True desire has no desire, and this is what he should always do. However, when he was stripping himself of his negative emotions, he did not know that this was already a trend of desire.
He seemed to be very clean about it, but he did not know that his inner demon had already been born.
Even though he had spent a lot of effort to expel the heart demon, the negative emotions had already formed a climate and were opposing him. Plus, he was sealed in this land by chance, which accelerated the growth of the negative emotions.
He was originally one with the negative emotions, no one could destroy each other, and the negative emotions could also resist him. Otherwise, why would he be afraid of the negative emotions when he was able to fight against the Saint? He knew that all of this was caused by him, and that was why he sealed most of his strength. Otherwise, the negative emotions from before might not have been this strong.
However, he hadn't expected that the negative emotions would be so agitated, and that he would completely ignore them, leaving only a trace of his aura to drain the entire Bodhi tree of its life force, in order to force himself to undo the seal on himself.
Unfortunately … life and death, in the eyes of Patriarch Subhuti, were nothing more than the same. Life was life and death.
If his own death could be exchanged for the purity or extinction of his negative emotions, he wouldn't care at all.
However, the negative emotions were too persistent and he was too stubborn. The negative emotions affected him too much. Once he was given his freedom, he was afraid that the whole world would fall into panic.
Undead Bi Meng, a powerful being that exists in the legends, I never thought that you would have obtained it.
When Patriarch Subhuti was sleeping, he had sensed the aura of the Undead Bi Meng. This aura did not come from the Tian Yuan Continent, but rather, Patriarch Subhuti had heard of it and had not truly seen it.
The negative emotions were all completely devoured by Bi Meng, and he even felt a strong desire from Bi Meng, a desire to swallow himself whole.
The only one who could do this in the Between the Heavens and the Earth would probably be the Undead Bi Meng.
When he was a Bodhi tree, he had transcended everything. Even a saint could not do anything to him, but now, he believed that all living things were at loggerheads with each other. It was fine if they did not meet each other in the past, but even someone as strong as the Bodhi tree had the ability to restrain him!
Perhaps this was an epiphany.
If he did not have the experience he had this time, maybe he would never be able to contact Undead Bi Meng.
This moment of epiphany caused the light around Patriarch Subhuti's body to grow even brighter, and the lush green on the Bodhi tree began to spread even faster!
This sudden insight was the only one that the Bodhi tree had experienced for the past hundred thousand years. It could be said that it was a blessing in disguise.
Qin Shaojie and Chen Yuner stood there silently. They knew how precious enlightenment was to Patriarch Subhuti.
Only after a long while did Patriarch Subhuti emerge from his moment of enlightenment. The Bodhi tree, which had previously been filled with a pitch-black color, was now once again radiating with life. Under the glow of this life force, the place was filled with lush greenery, causing the entire space to once again be filled with dense Spiritual Aura.
As for the negative emotions and the remaining evil qi, they had also disappeared at this moment.
Was this the true power of Patriarch Subhuti?
It only took an instant of enlightenment to turn corruption into magic?
At this moment, he finally understood why the Bodhi tree could become the most mysterious existence in the Tian Yuan Continent, and why countless people were chasing after it.
Ordinary people only knew that Subhuti had three treasures: Bodhi seed, Bodhi Liquid, and Bodhi heart. However, he did not know that this was not the most true and correct way of putting it.
Patriarch Subhuti's voice became gentler when he saw the surprise on the faces of the two of them. His body had become more solid. Clearly, the sudden insight he had just gained had had an extremely good effect on him.
Bodhi seed and Bodhi Liquid are naturally formed from karma, but Bodhi heart requires me to continuously cultivate and gain enlightenment in order to be able to form. Thus, the Bodhisattva Heart might be the smallest of existences, because even I myself do not know what the Bodhisattva Heart is.
They did not come for the so called Bodhi Heart, nor did they come for the obtaining too many things on the Bodhisattva tree. Everything was just as Patriarch Bodhi said, luck and fortune was around the corner.2
Now that Patriarch Subhuti had awoken, they didn't care too much about what happened next. However, they had a sudden thought. If they could lend a helping hand at this moment, it might not be a bad thing.
The third treasure of Subhuti was in truth a divine ability which was beneath the Bodhi tree!
One month later, when I have recovered, the two of you will bring the youth from last time with you.
