The Savage Ancient Domain was teeming with magical beasts.
For Little Fairy Doctor and Green Scale, this was the best place to practice.
With their strength, they didn't need to worry about encountering danger.
However, they ultimately lacked combat experience, and when facing several magical beasts besieging them, they were once overwhelmed.
Fortunately, they resolved everything in the end.
After all, with absolute strength supporting them, dealing with such situations was not a problem.
In the end, they successfully made their way through.
They arrived at an Ancient Domain Platform deep within the Savage Ancient Domain.
This was the only safe area deep within the Savage Ancient Domain.
Years ago, this was an ancient battlefield where humans and magical beasts clashed.
Although humans hadn't set foot on the ancient battlefield for many years, a great war had erupted here in the distant past.
Countless human powerhouses fell here, and the accumulated aura ensured that even after thousands of years, the surrounding magical beasts still dared not step into this place... When Xiao Li and the others arrived, they found that the Ancient Domain Platform was already crowded with people.
Most people stood outside the Ancient Domain Platform.
Only a small number of groups stood on the Ancient Domain Platform in the center.
"So many people already, it seems we're late."
Xiao Li looked around but didn't see any familiar faces in the outer perimeter.
Fortunately, when those people noticed them, they quickly and wisely made way.
"Look, the people from Starfall Pavilion are here too."
"The Starfall Pavilion is different now; its strength has grown considerably, so we can't easily offend them."
"The one leading them seems to be the Young Pavilion Master of Starfall Pavilion, Xiao Yan, and also Xiao Li, the champion of the recent Pill Gathering. I heard they are brothers."
"Anyway, we can't afford to provoke either of them."
No one wanted to provoke another enemy in such a place.
"Why aren't many people going up? Are they all too shy?"
Seeing them actively make way, Xiao Li smiled and led the group onto the Ancient Domain Platform.
At this time, four groups of people stood on the Ancient Domain Platform—
The first team was from the Soul Clan, a young man leading several old individuals, their aura sinister and best avoided.
The second team was from the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, also a young man leading several old individuals. Xiao Li had absorbed a portion of Heavenly Demon Huang's essence blood, so he could sense that these people were from the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan.
The third team was from the Gu Clan, led by Xun'er, dressed in green, as elegant as a green lotus.
The last team was quite special; Xiao Li couldn't recognize them.
It was led by a man and a woman, both with the same flame clan tattoo on their foreheads, and their auras were very strong.
In fact, Xiao Li sensed the aura of a Heavenly Flame on both the man and the woman, and it was a very powerful Heavenly Flame.
"Looking at this aura and these clan tattoos, they should be from the Yan Clan. They've come too."
Those who could stand on this platform with the Soul Clan and Gu Clan were clearly not ordinary people.
Coupled with the flame clan tattoos on their foreheads, it wasn't difficult to guess their identity: they were from the Yan Clan, one of the eight ancient clans.
When Xiao Li came up, everyone looked over.
Among them, the first to speak was the young man from the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan; his gaze held a hint of coldness and anger,
"You are Xiao Li, the one who killed a bloodline of my Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan?"
"I didn't realize I was already that famous. May I ask, who are you?" Xiao Li asked.
"I am Jiu Feng of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan."
Xiao Li's eyes narrowed slightly, then suddenly widened, and an invisible spatial slash immediately cut towards Jiu Feng.
His sudden move caught everyone on the scene by surprise.
Jiu Feng didn't even have time to react, watching helplessly as the spatial slash came towards him.
Fortunately, the two elders behind him quickly reacted and blocked Xiao Li's attack.
But they were still forced back several steps, their arms trembling.
"Oh? It seems your status in the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan isn't bad, to have two One-Star Dou Saints as bodyguards." Xiao Li raised an eyebrow.
Just now, he had merely attacked casually, but it was still blocked by those two One-Star Dou Saint elders.
Jiu Feng was furious but dared not speak.
If not for the two elders' intervention, Xiao Li's attack would have been enough to instantly kill him.
The sudden change on the field made the others react as well.
"Everyone, we are all in the same boat now. Let's resolve any grievances after we leave the Savage Ancient Domain." The young man from the Soul Clan, with a feminine appearance and skin as fair as a woman's, stepped forward and smiled, trying to mediate.
Xiao Li glanced at him: "And who are you?"
"I am Hun Yu, Young Clan Head of the Soul Clan."
"So it's the Young Clan Head of the Soul Clan."
This time, Xiao Li didn't make a move.
Even Jiu Feng had two Dou Saints by his side, let alone Hun Yu.
In the original story, when the ancient bodhi tree appeared, these people didn't have Dou Saint powerhouses escorting them.
Now, they probably guessed that Xiao Li would come, which is why they were so cautious.
"I am Huo Xuan of the Yan Clan. I've long heard of Young Master Xiao Li's great name, and today I finally get to meet him." The young man from the Yan Clan proactively stepped forward to greet him.
"Little girl Huo Zhi greets Young Master Xiao." The woman wearing a red veil beside him also said.
Indeed, they were from the Yan Clan; Xiao Li hadn't guessed wrong.
Behind them, there were also Dou Saint-level guards.
The appearance of the ancient bodhi tree's greatest allure was its ability to help people achieve sainthood instantly.
However, for those who had already become Dou Saints, it had little effect.
But to ensure that the younger generation of their clans could successfully obtain this opportunity, they dispatched all the Dou Saint powerhouses from their clans.
Quite generous.
Finally, only the Gu Clan remained.
"Brother Li, you're finally here."
Xun'er took small steps to Xiao Li, a beautiful and moving smile blooming on her face.
Xiao Li's gaze also softened, and he reached out to gently ruffle the girl's hair: "Yes, I'm here."
Seeing this, the three women, including Little Fairy Doctor, silently averted their gaze, pretending not to see.
They were aware of Xun'er's existence.
And of course, they weren't jealous.
Xiao Li and Xun'er only exchanged tender glances and didn't make too many intimate gestures.
After all, this was the Ancient Domain Platform, and business was important.
"What's the situation now?" Xiao Li asked.
Xun'er immediately explained to him: "The ancient bodhi tree is at the end ahead, but to get there, we must pass through a massive beast tide."
"Currently, more than half of the magical beasts in the entire Savage Ancient Domain are gathered ahead, forming a terrifying beast tide."
"The number of magical beasts is extremely frightening; even if our several factions joined forces, we might not easily get through." Xun'er said.
They all had Dou Saint powerhouses.
But facing tens of thousands of magical beasts, even Dou Saints weren't absolutely confident they could get through.
Not to mention, everyone had their own hidden agendas, making cooperation difficult.
At this point, Hun Yu said,
"Everyone, you all know the current situation. The ancient bodhi tree is ahead, but a beast tide blocks our way."
"To get through, we can only join forces."
