"You're not human! Who exactly are you!"
The Bodhisattva of the Divine Tree's voice was trembling with fear.
In fact, the injury it had just suffered was not particularly serious. At least for its current incomparably huge body, other than a little pain, the real damage was just like an ordinary person being cut by a knife.
Although it hurt a little, it didn't affect him much.
The reason why it lost its composure was mainly because it was frightened by the name of the True Samadhi Fire.
In its thousands of years of demon life, the first half of its life was really not easy.
As a thousand-year-old tree spirit, its main body had been rooted in the back mountain of Lanruo Temple from the beginning. Compared to other demons and ghosts, the tree spirit's cultivation method had always had a huge drawback.
That was, it couldn't move!
The mountain where Lanruo Temple was located was not a treasure land, and the concentration of spiritual energy was only average. The reason why it could develop spiritual intelligence was that its original body, the old tree, had been sold a few cultivators 'corpses. It absorbed the blood and resentment of the corpses and finally became a spirit.
However, the good times did not last long. It had just become a spirit and had not had the time to cause trouble when Lanruo Temple was built.
A group of monks rang the bell and chanted Buddha all day long. In addition, there were a few monks in the temple who had strong cultivation.
In such an environment, how could a little tree demon who had just gained sentience dare to act rashly? It could only pretend to be infected by Buddhism and pretend to be a kind elf who stood aloof from the world. Every day, it cultivated by absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, barely making a living. It almost never had a full day.
Such miserable days lasted for nearly two hundred years.
People move to live, trees move to die.
The abbots and monks of Lanruo Temple had been changed one batch after another, but the little tree demon couldn't leave even if it wanted to. It could only bite the bullet and pretend to be a good person for more than 200 years. Finally, Lanruo Temple was completely bankrupt and it gained its freedom.
After that, they began to live the life of a normal demon.
Therefore, although it had cultivated for nearly three to four thousand years, most of the time was spent wasting time. Its cultivation strength was not only inferior to other big demons of the same age, but it was also slightly inferior to many small demons that were hundreds of years old.
It was only after Lanruo Temple was destroyed that it relied on bullying some weak little demons and ghosts to control the female ghosts under it to seduce men to absorb their Yang energy to increase its magic power.
Only by using such an underhanded method did his days finally improve, and his cultivation and magic power began to increase.
However, even with a certain level of cultivation, it had always been very low-key in the years that followed.
After enduring for hundreds of years, not only did it become more and more timid, but it also learned a lot of information that other demons did not know through its daily interactions with the monks of Lanruo Temple.
For example, in the world outside the mountain, there were not only Taoist priests and monks, immortals and devils, but also all kinds of immortals and Buddhas. There were city gods in big cities, local gods in small villages and towns, mountain gods in the mountains, river gods and water gods in rivers and lakes.
And these existences basically all had a remarkable characteristic.
That was, any one of them could easily beat it up.
The old tree demon, who knew his own capabilities, deeply felt that it was not easy for an evil demon to live well in such a dangerous world.
Therefore, in its 4,000 years of demon life, the first 3,000 years were basically spent in its own small plot of land, relying on the female ghosts under it to work to maintain its life.
It was also because of its low-key style that even if a cultivator happened to be invited to catch ghosts and eliminate demons, they would only know that there were ghosts in the mountains, but they did not know that it was a thousand-year-old demon hiding behind the female ghost.
Relying on this steadiness, when it encountered someone who came to catch ghosts, it felt that it had a backer and directly threw two female ghosts as scapegoats to trick the other party into leaving.
When they encountered someone who did not have a strong background, they would take the initiative to take it down personally.
Just like that, it relied purely on its cautiousness and steadiness to live safely for more than three thousand years.
Until one day, it suddenly realized that the outside world had changed.
The immortals in the sky were gone, the gods and buddhas of the west were gone, and even the powerful earth immortals, city gods, earth gods, and loose immortals in the human world were gone.
The entire world was filled with those great demons fighting for territory.
In the face of such a situation, it chose to be prudent once again.
When the demons outside were beating the world until it was dark, it still hid in its small plot of land, not having the slightest thought of participating.
Just like that, it hid for another few hundred years.
It didn't even know when the fight outside had ended.
He only knew that one day, someone suddenly came to find him and told him that because of the internal strife, more than half of the great demons and great demons had died.
Now that everyone didn't want to fight, they started to stop fighting and join hands to divide the territory. They asked if it was willing to join them and rule the world together in the future.
How could it refuse such a great opportunity? It had no intention of bargaining and agreed to join without a word.
Then, it obtained a piece of land that belonged to it and became the true master of this land.
From then on, its bitter days finally came to an end, and the carefree life it dreamed of began.
This kind of life lasted for nearly a thousand years.
As a result, in such a carefree living environment, it had almost forgotten all of its past grievances.
After being called Bodhisattva by humans for a long time, it had long regarded itself as a true Bodhisattva in its heart.
Originally, it thought that such a beautiful life would last forever.
But now, Yunxiao's sudden appearance had made it suffer a series of setbacks, and the burning flame had suddenly awakened its long-buried memories.
Although it had never been burned by the Samadhi Fire, it had heard of the fierce name of this flame from others countless times.
In its impression, the so-called True Samadhi Fire was a magical spell that only powerful Taoist immortals knew. Its power was boundless.
More importantly…
There were countless demons and devils that had been burned to death by the Samadhi Fire. In the limited memory of the tree demon, almost all the demons and devils that were related to the Samadhi Fire had died in the end.
This fire was a counter to ghosts and spirits, two to innate wood spirits and demons, and three to filth and evil.
As a Man-eating Tree Demon that grew on corpses, these three things were simply all wet!
It could be said that every part of its body was the perfect fuel for the True Samadhi Fire.
Therefore, although it had never encountered the Samadhi Fire before, the fear of this flame in its heart was simply deep into its bones.
Even now, its cultivation was no longer the same as before, and its yao art methods had long become countless times stronger. When it heard the name of the Samadhi Fire, it was still so scared that it screamed and panicked.
