If discovered, he would most likely die. When bypassing the shrine, Alex heard a mighty heartbeat.
Thump! Thump!
It did not belong to a human, it sounded dull, yet powerful. When it reached one’s ears, one could even feel heavy coercion, involuntarily wanting to worship it.
‘How powerful!’
Alex was shocked.
Fortunately, his physique had just undergone evolution at the Pool of Afterlife and had significantly improved, regardless of the mental body, physical body, and root bones. He didn’t use his Buddhist ability to prevent the great demon from waking up according to Ancestor Bodhi’s reminder, that great demon had a very sensitive Buddhist aura, and it would notice even a slight fluctuation.
Ten minutes later, he reached the Heart Mountain after bypassing Dairaionji Temple stealthily.
Soon, he saw the Ancestral Bodhi Tree’s natural body, one so enormous that it occupied almost half the mountain range. The entire Heart Mountain coupled with the Ancestral Bodhi Tree, looked like a large potted plant from a distance.
A tree had been raised on a mountain.
Lingering white mist and drifting spiritual energy filled the mountain, beaming with dazzling golden holy light. However, after careful inspection, Alex could tell that the golden holy light was fake.
It turned out to be some kind of demonic Chi… Ancestor Bodhi’s real body and his escape, corrupted by poison, indicated that the Ancestral Bodhi Tree had lost its original vital energy. After the remaining shell lost its essence, it would rot slowly and become unsalvagable.
Roar! Roar!
Alex heard furious roars from a distance. Then, curses carried over.
“Trash! All of you are trash!”
“Good-for-nothing… Unable to do anything right? What‘s the point of having trash like you people?!”
“Go to hell!”
Boom!
Alex was stunned. Who exactly had flown into a rage at the Heart Mountain?
The next second, he discovered a few demons, resembling the previous two demons with monks’ skin on their backs, rolling down the mountain. A demon was so close to Alex that it almost spotted him.
“Hmph! What a broken tree! I’ll come back and deal with you later!”
“If you don’t cooperate, I’ll burn you down! ”
The phantom looked furious. It unexpectedly left the ancestral Bodhi Tree’s range and rushed down the Heart Mountain.
Alex was shocked.
Could he have been discovered?
However, he soon discovered that the phantom was heading directly to the shrine of Dairaionji Temple.
‘Good chance!’
Alex seized the opportunity. He directly teleported to the Heart Mountain and retrieved the Ancestral Bodhi Tree using the method Ancestor Bodhi had taught him!
“Om mani padme hum! Retrieve!”
