Let's Consummate Our Marriage!

"Is a Dou Saint coming after me...?"

Gu Fei didn't turn around, but he clearly sensed that the Hun Clan had sent a Dou Saint-level expert to pursue him.

"The Bodhisattva Ancient Tree?!"

At this moment, a group of figures behind him couldn't help but exclaim. Leading them was an elder in a black robe, whose cultivation had reached the level of a three-star Dou Saint. Hun Yu, Jiu Feng, and the others were also being protected by this Hun Clan Dou Saint, allowing them to break through the beast tide.

The Bodhi Ancient Tree, a legendary entity, was something even the ancient clans had never witnessed in person, only seeing descriptions of it in ancient texts.

"What a huge tree..."

Even though he was still quite a distance from the Bodhi Ancient Tree, SHun Yu could already feel its immense size. Its canopy spread out like an ancient relic standing between heaven and earth, exuding a sense of timelessness.

"Gu Fei, a treasure like the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree is not something your Gu Clan can claim," the Hun Clan's Dou Saint said coldly, his gaze filled with killing intent as he stared at Gu Fei.

However, Gu Fei's reputation preceded him, so the Dou Saint did not act rashly. 

"If the Hun Clan wants the treasure, go ahead and take it..." Gu Fei said calmly, not at all fazed by the group behind him.

"What does he mean?" Hun Yu and the others were suspicious, casting glances toward the Bodhi Ancient Tree. 

Up close, the tree was even more awe-inspiring. Its trunk, which stood thousands of feet tall, was like a pillar connecting the heavens. Ancient energies seemed to flow from it, and its massive canopy could cover half a city. Powerful life force emanated from it, filling the sky with mystical phenomena.

"A treasure like the Bodhi Ancient Tree ranks among the top three on the Dou Qi Continent."

"There's no way it doesn't have some kind of defense!"

"And if it's lived for so many years, it must have developed intelligence by now!" Hun Yu hesitated, suspecting that Gu Fei knew something they didn't and was trying to lure them into a trap. If the Bodhi Ancient Tree had gained intelligence and started cultivating, it would undoubtedly be one of the most terrifying beings on the Dou Qi Continent.

"Hmph! If you don't want the treasure, then I'll take it all for myself..." Gu Fei laughed scornfully when he saw the Hun Clan hesitate. He continued walking toward the tree.

"Follow him..." the Hun Clan members said, moving cautiously behind him.

After a while, Hun Yu noticed a bright light about a hundred feet up the tree's massive trunk. It looked like a heart of energy, pulsing with powerful rhythms.

"The Bodhisattva Heart!"

All eyes focused on the glowing heart within the giant tree, their pulses quickening with excitement.

"Hurry! We can't let Gu Fei take the Bodhi Heart!" Everyone, ignoring their earlier fears, rushed forward.

Just then, the Bodhi Ancient Tree, which had been standing silently on the plain, made a faint rustling sound. 

Suddenly, countless branches began to intertwine and descend from the canopy. When they touched the ground, they split open, revealing five figures with expressionless faces.

These five figures, however, were clearly puppets, devoid of life.

"Just five Half-Saints! They're no match for me!" The Hun Clan's Dou Saint sneered and casually destroyed the five puppet Half-Saints with one strike.

Yet, as they got closer to the Bodhi Ancient Tree, everyone grew more tense. The unknown danger of the tree weighed heavily on their minds.

Gu Fei, however, remained unfazed, continuing his approach to the base of the tree.

At that moment, from a height of a hundred feet up the trunk, a radiant light burst out, enveloping everyone within it. In a flash, the light retracted back into the tree, and Gu Fei, along with the members of the Hun Clan and the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, vanished.

---

White light filled Gu Fei's vision as he stood in this strange world of light, with no one else around. 

Suddenly, the world began to shift rapidly, and soon, he found himself standing in front of a woman in bridal attire.

"Xun'er?"

Gu Fei frowned at the familiar face before him. Xun'er was dressed exactly as she had been when they were married.

"Brother Gu Fei, we've already completed the wedding ceremony. Let's consummate our marriage..."

"Brother Gu Fei, haven't you been waiting for this day for a long time?"

Xun'er slowly began to undress, revealing her flawless, jade-like skin. With her ethereal beauty, it was a sight that could easily captivate most men.

Around them, scenes from Gu Fei's past, when he had been pursuing Xun'er, began to unfold as if they were real memories playing out before him. The illusion was flawless, with no apparent cracks.

"Ancient Bodhi Tree, if you think this is my weakness, you're sorely mistaken!" Gu Fei's eyes turned cold.

Even as Xun'er stood naked before him, her body brushing seductively against him, Gu Fei remained completely unfazed.

In the next moment, a Bodhi Seed appeared in Gu Fei's hand, and as soon as it did, a pure aura spread out, dispelling the seductive illusion.

The world around him began to twist violently before shattering like a broken mirror.

When the illusion broke, Gu Fei blinked and found himself standing in a lush, green space. In front of him stood an ancient tree, about ten feet tall, exuding an eternal presence.
