Chapter 2197 Meditation
The bodhi tree was covered by a bright Buddha light. No one could see it clearly before because they
were too far away.
But now that they stood close to the bodhi tree, they could look at it carefully. It horrified them to see
that the branches of the bodhi tree were brimming with corpses. They took a step back and looked at
each other.
Most of the corpses had dposed while some had dried-up. They were unrecognizable; it was
impossible to identify them.
Countless dead bodies hung on the bodhi tree, as if they were dead leaves waiting to fall on the
ground.
"Look! That''s the body of Lorenzo and the others!"
a cultivator at the Heavenly Grotto Realm shouted in horror.
Curious, the people stepped closer and examined the dead bodies carefully. Only then did they
recognize some of the bodies. Some of them were people who died not too long ago.
Among them were nine masters at the Heavenly Grotto Realm. As they scrutinized the dead bodies,
they realized that the strange branches killed them.
The nine cultivators at the Heavenly Grotto Realm were killed by the strange branches that appeared
out of nowhere while they were fighting Austin.
Now, their bodies hung lifeless on the branches of the bodhi tree.
It only meant that the strange branches which appeared during the fight with Austin were from this
bodhi tree.
"Look! The ck bear!"
Austin saw a familiar, huge figure. He almost choked. It was the ck bear that chased him in the
outside area.
It was a terrifying creature. Even a cultivator like Brady was no match for it.
Its skin used to be ck and glittered in the sunlight. Now, it was dry and colorless. It had wasted away
and was no longer terrifying to look at.
Blood was still dripping from the ck bear''s strong body.
''Well, it looks like, all the creatures who fought within a certain distance or near this bodhi tree suffered
a terrible death from its branches.''
This shocked Austin.
"Our ancestor from the South Marine Sect!
I can''t believe it! She is the eighth sect leader of our South Marine Sect, the Ethereal Saintess!"
the sect leader of the South Marine Sect suddenly eximed.
Everyone followed her gaze, and the crowd saw the golden body of a dead nun. Her dead body was
hanging on some branches of the giant tree. Her body was still covered in a golden robe.
This was the sacred body of a nun. It seemed that she had been dead for a long time, butpared
with the others, her body had not dposed in any way.
Her skin had remained golden and majestic. It radiated with a noble aura and a cold Buddhist glow.
Her face was calm and solemn, as if she died a peaceful death.
"She was a well-known great master at the Immortal Transforming Realm in the South Mountain while
she was still alive. One day she entered the Buddha Mountain, she disappeared and no one ever heard
from her again.
No one knew that she died here!"
the sect leader of the South Marine Sect eximed. She was still in shock.
''She was a great master at the Immortal Transforming Realm?''
It was shocking to hear that a powerful great master at the Immortal Transforming Realm was also
killed by the bodhi tree. Just like the other corpses, her body remained suspended from one branch.
They could tell that this bodhi tree was powerful and unforgiving.
The more Austin thought about it, the more terrified he got.
The nun was hanging on a thick branch. Her golden skin sparkled and radiated with golden light. Her
majestic glow was undeniable. It was evident that she was a superior great master before she died.
The robe she was wearing was made from the rare secret weapon. After so many years, it still looked
brand new and its golden fabric continued to glitter with the sun''s re.
It was strange and scary to see the dead body of a powerful nun like her, hanging on the bodhi tree.
The bodhi tree was a holy tree that cultivated the heavenly essence using the power of Buddha.
It was supposed to be a quiet, peaceful and sacred ce for the Buddhist.
But now, the branches of this bodhi tree overflowed with dead bodies.
This scene was too strange, and the surrounding suddenly became eerie.
As they stared at the countless dead bodies, all the cultivators felt cold shivers on their skin and were
starting to panic.
The masters at the Heavenly Grotto Realm, including the master of the Zhao n and the sect leader
of the South Marine Sect, did not dare do anything against Austin and Brady again.
What was right in front of them resulted from the recent attack.
The moment they moved, the branches of the bodhi tree would rush down and destroy all the attacking
energy.
By this time, everyone was almost sure that
violence or fighting was forbidden near the tree.
The bodhi tree with all the dead bodies dangling in its branches looked terrifying. No one was willing to
take the risk and start a fight near it.
If this bodhi tree became mad as hell, no one knew what else it could do. No one dared annoy it.
Even a great master at the Immortal Transforming Realm was no match to the power of the bodhi tree,
let alone the masters at the Heavenly Grotto Realm.
"Don''t worry. The tree itself is not dangerous, as long as we don''t fight near it.
We have been standing here for quite a while now. If our presence triggered it, we would have been
dead by now.
I see that the corpses hanging on the bodhi tree were killed by the bodhi tree during the fight in the
core area.
As long as we don''t fight, it is not a threat to us,"
the sect leader of the South Marine Sect exined.
"That''s right. We have been here for such a long time. As long as we don''t take action, we are safe,"
the others nodded in agreement.
"You lucky bastard! I will kill you the moment we leave this ce!"
the master of the Zhao n red at Austin viciously.
He felt frustrated. Austin was within reach, but he could do nothing to harm him. The tree was too
powerful for him, and it was not worth the risk. He would have to get his revenge some other time.
No matter how powerful he was, he did not dare provoke the bodhi tree and endanger his own life.
"A great master once told me that the bodhi tree in the Buddha Mountain has unimaginable great
opportunities..."
The sect leader of the South Marine Sect stared at the ancient tree with a serious expression on her
face. She took a deep breath and walked closer to the bodhi tree. She stared at the branches and
examined the leaves closely.
"It is said that if people cultivate under the bodhi tree, they will be greatly enlightened,"
the sect leader of the South Marine Sect mumbled to herself. Full of anticipation, she sat cross-legged
under the tree and began to meditate.
The Buddha Mountain was located near the headquarters of the South Marine Sect and was connected
to all kinds of legends of the Buddhist.
Thus, the sect leader of the South Marine Sect knew a lot about this bodhi tree.
She knew it would be a great opportunity for her to cultivate andprehend under the bodhi tree.
Now that the bodhi tree was right in front of her, this was a rare opportunity she would not dare miss.
The other masters at the Heavenly Grotto Realm could not help but look at each other.
Soon, all the people found a ce and sat down with their legs crossed. They followed the sect leader
of the South Marine Sect and began to meditate.
Everyone believed the sect leader of the South Marine Sect and did not want to miss this great
opportunity.
"Master, what should we do? Should we leave or try to meditate?"
Brady asked, looking at Austin.
"I think she''s right. Let''s also meditate,"
Austin said.
The sect leader of the South Marine Sect knew a lot about this bodhi tree.

There must be a good reason for her to stay and meditate under this tree.
Austin wanted to try it. Perhaps, this bodhi tree had some great opportunities that could help advance
his skills and power.
Austin and Brady also found a ce and sat cross-legged under the bodhi tree. They closed their eyes
and started to meditate.
