Ancestor Bodhi was shocked. âHow could that be?!â
âDonât ask me. I donât know either. This ancestral tree of yours is sly. It refuses to come out after
entering my mind palace. Iâm still worried if itâll be root itself in my brain and germinate there.â
Ancestor Bodhiâs shock was beyond words. He did not believe Barne at all.
Barne
Alex
That was his real body with an inextricable connection to him. How could his real body go into
someone elseâs mind palace and settle down without his authorization?
âI want to go in and take a look!â
After Ancestor Bodhi said that, he directly rushed into Barneâs mind palace. However, he screamed and
rushed out again in the next second before rolling on the ground. He looked wretched.
Barne
Alex
âWhat is inside your mind palace?â he screamed and clutched his head as if he was in pain.
âWhat are you talking about?â Barne asked.
Barne
Alex
âA ray of murderous light protected your mind palace and kicked me out right away.â Ancestor Bodhi
seemed dejected yet furious. âBut I saw my real body. Brat, how dare you plant my real body in your
mind palace? As expected, you are simply malicious. Return the Ancestral Bodhi Tree to me right now.â
Barne instantly became helpless. âDo you think I want that? Youâre the one whoâs lingering around and
refusing to leave! I couldnât drive you away at all!â
Barne
Alex
As for that murderous light, Barne did not know what it was. He thought it was probably a self-defense
mechanism of his soul consciousness.

Ancestor Bodhi, the wimpy brat in a birthday suit, pretended to be serious. He tilted his head and
stared at Barne as he asked, âWhat on earth is inside your mind palace? I seemed to have seen⦠You
even planted another tree inside. You are not about to turn your mind palace into an arboretum, are
you?â
Barne
Alex
After a pause, he thought of something. âNo! No. There must be something strange in your mind
palace. Otherwise, the Ancestral Bodhi Tree wouldâve long come out. What exactly is inside?â
âIâll tell you after we leave this place.â
Despite the odds, Ancestor Bodhi shook his head. âI can send you away, but I have no means to stay
away from Dairaionji Temple.â
âWhy?â
âMy roots are at the Heart Mountain. The Heart Mountain is my motherland, but it is also my shackle.
Otherwise, I wouldâve left this ancient Buddhist battlefield and gone to Siddhartha realm a long time
ago.â
âYou were talking about the Heart Mountain, right? No problem, then. Just follow me from now on. I
wonât mistreat you.â
Ancestor Bodhi froze. âWhat do you mean?â
Barne replied, âThe Heart Mountain is inside my mind palace as well.â
Barne
Alex
âHuh..?!â
Ancestor Bodhi was utterly stunned, wondering if he was dreaming. The Heart Mountain was a sacred
mountain that had existed since the beginning of the world. It weighed billions of tonnes and had a
diameter of 40 thousand feet.
Surprisingly, such a sacred mountain had settled in Barneâs mind palace.
Barne
Alex
Was he sure that he was not talking nonsense?
âNo. I have to see it again. I donât believe him if I donât take a good look at it.â
Ancestor Bodhi was well-prepared this time. He readied himself to confront that ray of murderous light
in Barneâs mind palace as he had to see clearly the oddity in Barneâs mind palace at all costs.
Unexpectedly, it went smoothly this time. That ray of murderous light did not appear, and he
successfully entered Barneâs mind palace.

He saw his real body, And⦠Also the Heart Mountain. Then, he trembled all overâ¦
âYou⦠Brat. Brat, why do you have the Chaos Tree in your mind palace?!â
âAnd this⦠What is this? This is⦠The Heavenly Self-Renewing Soil!â
âOh gosh! You arenât the prehistoric heir, are you?â
Ancestor Bod hi felt his entire body trembling. Even he began to be envious of Barne, especially when
faced with such a massive slab of self-renewing soil on the ground. He wanted to for himself so badly,
but unfortunately, the Chaos Tree had long dominated the main position. The Heart Mountain only
landed on the peripheral position before the ancestral Bodhi Treeâs turn.

âIâve made up my mind. Iâll settle down in your mind palace from now on,â Ancestor Bodhi shamelessly
said.
Barne said with a smile, âThereâs no problem, of course, but remember to pay the rent.â
