Chapter 493: Enduring a Thousand Tribulations
Now the Soul Clan is busy dealing with other ancient families, so naturally they have no time to care about Xiao Yan. Now that the Stone Clan and the Spirit Clan have been dealt with by the Soul Clan, the next step is the Medicine Clan.

It was because Xiao Yan knew the Soul Clan’s plan that he dared to kill the Soul Clan’s strongmen so unscrupulously. Otherwise, he would have been as low-key as possible.

In fact, Xiao Yan does not have much time left. The next time the Medicine Clan uses the Pharmacopoeia, they will really face off against the Soul Clan, and their opponent will be the Void Swallowing Flame.

With Xiao Yan's current strength, facing the Void Devouring Flame is simply seeking death. He has no power to fight back at all, unless Xiao Yan does not go to the Pharmacopoeia.

However, Xiao Yan must go to the Pharmacopoeia. Although Xiao Yan does not care about the life and death of the Medicine Clan, the Medicine Clan also has many strange fires. These strange fires cannot be taken advantage of by the Void Devouring Flame, especially the Flame of Living Beings.

After sorting out all the things, Xiao Yan slowly closed his eyes and sank his mind into the sea of ​​qi.

Ever since Xiao Yan completely integrated the four energies in his body, his Qi Sea has been empty. However, there is one more thing in his Qi Sea, and that is the ancient Bodhi tree.

After Xiao Yan cured the ancient Bodhi tree, out of kindness, he used Yang Fire to help the ancient Bodhi tree grow. As a result, the ancient Bodhi tree directly depended on Xiao Yan and stayed in the Qi sea and refused to leave.

At first, Xiao Yan did not notice that there was something extra in his Qi Sea. He only discovered it by accident when he was cultivating his soul power after defeating the people of the Soul Clan.

Xiao Yan was a little amused and helpless about the ancient Bodhi tree moving into his sea of ​​​​qi. After all, this thing didn't seem to bring him many benefits.

Of course, the ancient Bodhi tree had become somewhat intelligent at this time, and knew that if it wanted to stay in the Qi Sea, it had to benefit Xiao Yan, so it gave Xiao Yan a Bodhi Heart and promised Xiao Yan that it could help Xiao Yan attain enlightenment at any time, and would give him as many Bodhi seeds as he wanted.

Although the ancient Bodhi tree would absorb a lot of Xiao Yan's energy, it was still very good to be able to gain enlightenment under the tree at any time.

If you want to get something, you have to lose something. Xiao Yan has already let it go.

As Xiao Yan's mind sank into the ancient Bodhi tree, the tree shook slightly and brought Xiao Yan to a virtual world.

The greatest function of the ancient Bodhi tree is that it can create a very realistic virtual world, which makes you sink into it involuntarily and unable to distinguish between the real and the fake. Repeated training will make your mind more firm.

Every tribulation he goes through is equivalent to a rebirth, and his face will look more vicissitudes of life. If an acquaintance sees him, they will feel that Xiao Yan has become a stranger.

After experiencing the first disaster, Xiao Yan wanted to stop and go talk to Yun Yun or Xiao Yixian and Medusa to get rid of the vicissitudes of life in his body.

But these people were also in seclusion, and Medusa had also gone out. Xiao Yan had no choice but to continue his tribulations in order to break through to the Douluo level.

Xiao Yan originally thought that he would be able to break through to the Douluo Saint level after experiencing a hundred reincarnations at most, but reality slapped him in the face. The feeling of breaking through to the Douluo Saint level was very close, like a thin film that could be broken, but this film just wouldn't break.

Faced with such a scene, Xiao Yan became very determined and was determined to break through to the level of Douluo, so he continued to reincarnate and overcome the tribulation.

As it went on time and time again, Xiao Yan's face was filled with vicissitudes of life. He became a little indifferent, even without the slightest emotion. His eyes were full of indifference, as if the destruction of the world would not cause any fluctuations.

But no one reminded Xiao Yan of all this. The fact that Xiao Yan was in seclusion in the back mountain was known to everyone in the Tianxia Association, so no one dared to disturb him.

Time passed quickly, and three years had passed in the blink of an eye. During these three years, Yao Lao, Yun Yun, and Xiao Yixian had all broken through to Dou Sheng. Only Xiao Yan was still in seclusion, with no signs of a breakthrough, and no movement, no aura, as if Xiao Yan had disappeared. "I... I seem to have a bad feeling, feeling empty inside." Xiao Yixian looked towards the back mountain, feeling very sad for some reason.

Hearing this, Yun Yun, who was standing beside him, was also startled. She immediately looked at Little Medical Fairy and said, "You have the same feeling. I thought I was overthinking it!"

Just when Xiao Yixiang and Yun Yun were feeling sad, a white figure suddenly appeared beside them.

"Xiao Yan!" Yun Yun and Xiao Yixian looked at the white figure that suddenly appeared, the surprise on their faces was self-evident.

"Haha, are you waiting for me here?" Xiao Yan said with a faint smile.

Yun Yun and Xiao Yixian looked at each other. Although Xiao Yan's performance was exactly the same as before, it still felt a little strange. They immediately asked in confusion, "Are you...are you okay?"

"What can happen to me? Do you feel strange?" Xiao Yan smiled, and a vicissitudes of life suddenly appeared on his face, and then he returned to normal in an instant.

Xiao Yan attained enlightenment under the ancient Bodhi tree and experienced the calamity of reincarnation time and time again. Although he lost himself in the beginning and became more and more indifferent, he even turned his back on his relatives in the end.

However, during his tribulations, Xiao Yan felt more and more lonely, and his heart was extremely empty, so he wanted to plunder everything to fill his heart.

However, this did not make Xiao Yan happy. Instead, he felt even more empty. He became confused and didn't know what to say. Later, he felt that there was no point in living and that death was the only relief.

Just when Xiao Yan couldn't stand the test and wanted to commit suicide, the ancient Bodhi tree suddenly shook, bringing Xiao Yan back to reality.

When Xiao Yan returned to reality, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Fortunately, the ancient Bodhi tree stopped on its own, otherwise Xiao Yan would have died.

Xiao Yan’s recklessness almost got himself killed, so he was no longer in a hurry to break through to the Douluo level and instead started communicating with the ancient Bodhi tree.

No one knows how many years the ancient Bodhi tree has lived. It could be hundreds of thousands, millions, or even tens of millions of years.

Although the ancient Bodhi tree is not very intelligent, it is knowledgeable and with its help, Xiao Yan can naturally grow very quickly.

The ancient Bodhi tree told Xiao Yan that enlightenment is actually about sticking to one’s original heart and being true to oneself. Only in this way can one not get lost.

After listening to the words of the ancient Bodhi tree, Xiao Yan experienced the tribulation again and gradually began to return to himself. His mind also became more resolute, and everything became a natural result.

“Come here and give me a hug!” Xiao Yan waved to Yun Yun and Xiao Yixian. Although the time in the virtual space was fake, it had been nearly a million years after going through countless calamities.

When Xiao Yixian and Yun Yun saw Xiao Yan waving at them, they looked at each other and were a little surprised. Why did Xiao Yan suddenly become so direct?
However, although it felt a little weird, the Xiao Yan in front of them was not fake, and they also missed Xiao Yan very much, so they naturally would not refuse.

Xiao Yan held them tightly, one in each hand, as if he was afraid that they would leave.
