The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood-Chapter 1210 - 1211: Ancestor Bodhi

"Next, let’s just wait here silently for that senior to arrive before the training can truly begin. Of course, disciples from various great powers can also have some exchanges with each other, though only in terms of language communication."

After Mu Yazi finished speaking, many began to speculate on who exactly that senior was, and why the six top powers needed to wait for them here.

"Ye Mo, I think this training isn’t that simple. Besides, the disciples of the Ancient Buddha Clan seem very formidable. Bai Li Shu, who was just defeated by Mu Wanqing, was quite strong himself, yet he doesn’t seem to rank highly within the Ancient Buddha Clan."

Xiao Yue approached behind Ye Mo and slowly said.

Indeed, Ye Mo also noticed this. As the Ancient Buddha Clan focuses on physical training, one can generally gauge a person’s cultivation from their body’s robustness. Aside from Qian Yun, the bald man in short sleeves standing behind him appears much more robust than Bai Li Shu.

The Ancient Buddha Clan, without a doubt, is the strongest power in this training session.

Ye Mo nodded and said, "With our current strength, it would be very challenging to deal with a master who has opened the Space-time Gate. If possible, it would be best to seek cooperation, especially with members from other powers."

If they encounter someone from their own power, naturally, they won’t attack each other, so forming alliances with representatives from other powers is most important.

Of course, these partners need to be trustworthy, as nobody wants to be stabbed in the back.

"Cooperative partners? I wonder if Yang Suxin would cooperate with us. It’s said that she is the Palace Master of Suxin Palace, and she took on the role at a young age. I have a good relationship with her, so we should be able to cooperate. Although Yang Suxin’s personal strength isn’t very strong, Suxin Palace’s overall power is quite formidable. If we can collaborate, no one would dare mess with us on Bodhi Island."

Xiao Yue’s autumn eyes sparkled. Joining forces with Suxin Palace indeed creates a powerful coalition.

"That’s indeed a good idea, but you seem to have overlooked something!"

Ye Mo said casually, "Although the six powers are participating in this competition, there are only ten keys in total, and everyone wants to fight for them. There will be internal struggles, so even if action is taken, it will be done separately."

If a hundred people act together and find one key, who gets it? It’s a complicated issue, so it’s better not to stick together, unless with trustworthy friends, forming small groups to gather and share keys.

As Ye Mo and Xiao Yue discussed, other disciples were also engaged in discussions.

Ye Mo’s gaze brightened as he looked at Feng Chu and Bai Xueqin, seeing them looking back, and he flew directly over to them.

"Ye Mo, haven’t met in a while, do you wish to join us?"

Feng Chu asked with a gentle smile.

"You’re perceptive. Once we enter Bodhi Island, although it’s stipulated that we can’t kill each other, surprise attacks and accidental kills are unavoidable. Our strength is passable, but those competing with us are martial artists under 40, some of whom have opened the Space-time Gate multiple times. Unless someone is especially confident in their ability, nobody would dare act alone."

Ye Mo’s tone carried a hint of gravitas.

In terms of overall power, the Ancient Buddha Clan, Mu Family, and Heavenly Clan are the strongest, followed by the Divine Beast Family, Heavenly Dao, and Profound Heart Sect.

"It’s fine for us to team up, but I’m afraid some might be displeased."

Feng Chu said, glancing toward Xiao Yue behind Ye Mo.

"I’ve heard from Ye Mo that you’ve helped him before; whatever issues we’ve had in the past, I’m willing to let them go."

Xiao Yue said calmly.

"If that’s the case, then I agree to it."

Feng Chu said, his eyes lighting up.

Yang Suxin also approached, smiling, "I’ve now reached the Wheel of Reincarnation Sixth Revolution. If you don’t find my strength inadequate, please include me."

Naturally, Yang Suxin wanted to join in. As the Palace Master of Suxin Palace, having her in the group meant their disciples wouldn’t attack them.

Soon, the five reached a consensus, forming a small team to act together on Bodhi Island.

At this moment, a figure shot over from the distance, to be precise, an elderly figure. Though the elder’s face was gaunt, his eyes shone brightly with vigor.

"Ancestor Bodhi, it’s been a while!"

Seeing the newcomer, Mu Yazi bowed slightly, as did the other leaders.

"Alright, all of you, go wait in the Bodhi Cave. Leave these young ones to me."

The elder, referred to as Ancestor Bodhi, said lightly.

"This revered senior is the Master of Bodhi Island, known as Ancestor Bodhi. He will be overseeing this training."

After speaking, the leaders of the six great powers directly entered Bodhi Island.

"Greetings, Ancestor Bodhi!"

Everyone paid their respects. Even the strongest bald man from the Ancient Buddha Clan dared not be negligent. He had heard of Ancestor Bodhi and knew that in ancient times he was a legendary figure, respected even by their sect master.

"I am the Master of Bodhi Island, you may call me Ancestor Bodhi."

Ancestor Bodhi spoke as he scanned the disciples, and they all felt an invisible pressure.

"Your purpose on Bodhi Island for this training is likely known to you by now: to select those strong enough to go to the Vanquishing Martial Realm. The ten who retrieve the keys will earn the right to enter the Bodhi Cave and contemplate under the Bodhi Tree. I will personally offer ten Soul Fragments to the ten who succeed."

Ancestor Bodhi said lightly.

"Soul Fragments?" 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

An expert of the Wheel of Reincarnation Nine Transformations immediately exclaimed.

The so-called Soul Fragments are created when a Divine Venerate Strong Practitioner dies and their shattered soul is refined by someone with strong soul cultivation. If a martial artist can refine a Soul Fragment, they gain part of the soul origin, helping them ascend to the Divine Venerate Realm sooner.

Many disciples knew what Soul Fragments represented; they were mostly at the Wheel of Reincarnation Nine Transformations. Obtaining one would significantly increase their chances of reaching the Divine Venerate Realm.

Hearing Ancestor Bodhi offer ten Soul Fragments as a reward, their eyes brightened, and their breaths quickened.
