Reincarnated as a Divine Tree

“Clan Chief, does our clan really have to submit to the Zhou Family?”

In the grand hall of the clan, all the Blood Condensation Realm warriors had gathered to discuss the recent events.

Especially upon learning that half of the clan’s Blood Rice would have to be offered up, many clan members found it hard to accept.

William Chen and Michael Chen were filled with righteous indignation, their faces showing their unwillingness.

But Mason Chen and Elijah Chen, who had witnessed the earlier scene, remained silent.

The disparity in strength was too great. Even with the Sacred Tree’s assistance, the clan was powerless.

Moreover, judging by the calm expression of the person who had seen the Sacred Tree, it was highly likely that the Zhou Family possessed an even higher quality clan totem. How could the clan resist such injustice?

After a brief discussion, the hall fell into silence.

Ultimately, it was because the clan wasn’t strong enough. They needed to become stronger.

But this wasn’t something that could be achieved overnight. If the clan had a few more years to develop, perhaps the outcome would be different.

But upon closer thought, even with a few more years, the outcome might not change much.

Perhaps by then, the amount of Blood Rice the clan had to offer could be reduced by ten percent?

The clan members who had figured this out all wore expressions of helplessness.

At this moment, a clan member entered the hall to report:

“Clan Chief, this person first appeared at our Chen Clan market…”

“And this is what he left behind…”

“It seems to be called a Jade Coin.”

Looking at the jade piece in the clan member’s hand, Ethan Chen took it and examined it. He found that although the Jade Coin was thin, it was incredibly hard. Even with his late-stage Blood Condensation Realm strength, he couldn’t destroy it.

Others tried as well, but after their attempts, a sense of powerlessness welled up in their hearts.

They couldn’t even break this piece of jade, so how could they deal with a more powerful enemy?

“Alright, let’s not discuss this for now. I’ll talk it over with my father and the others tonight.”

Ethan Chen waved his hand, preparing to go back to his room to sleep.

But after lying down for a while, he remembered it wasn’t night yet, and his father and the others hadn’t come out.

This added another layer of worry to Ethan Chen’s face.

…

Night fell.

In the ancestral hall, the seemingly ordinary leaves of the Sophora Tree began to emit a faint glow.

Moments later, the entire tree was bathed in moonlight, shining brightly.

[Name: Gabriel Zhou]

[Age: 33]

[Realm: External Qi Realm]

[Introduction: One of the three Five Stages of Qi Control warriors from the Zhou Family in Cloud Dream City.]

This was the information Noah Ji had gleaned using his Eye of Insight when Gabriel Zhou visited the ancestral hall during the day.

Gabriel Zhou was not in the Internal Qi Realm but a step higher, in the External Qi Realm.

The highest realm warrior in the clan was only in the Innate Realm, a full two major realms below the External Qi Realm.

Although Noah Ji had never witnessed the prowess of such a high-realm warrior, he knew that even if the entire clan and his Sacred Tree were combined, they wouldn’t stand a chance.

After reaching the Five Stages of Qi Control, warriors no longer had early, middle, or late stages.

This didn’t mean that advancing in the Five Stages of Qi Control was easy; it was actually harder.

After reaching the Internal Qi Realm, each realm advancement brought a qualitative change, especially in the last two stages of the Five Stages of Qi Control.

Gabriel Zhou alone was in the External Qi Realm, not to mention that the Zhou Family had two other Five Stages of Qi Control warriors.

Such strength was far beyond what the small Chen Clan could compare to.

When Gabriel Zhou visited the ancestral hall, Noah Ji’s keen perception didn’t detect any significant malice from him.

This was a small blessing in a misfortune.

But neither the Chen Clan nor Noah Ji himself could rely on the enemy’s kindness.

To protect the clan and himself, he needed to become stronger.

[Name: Noah Ji]

[Species: Shadowy Sophora Tree]

[Vitality: 520]

[Supernatural Powers: Eye of Insight, Reversal Pill, One Leaf Hindrance, Soul Condensation, Armor Overlay, Scorched Earth]

[Techniques: Lunar Eclipse, Gathering Yin]

[Combat Skills: Grand Ancestor Long Fist]

[Qi and Blood: 201 (convertible to Vitality)]

[Spiritual Power: 70]

[Deduction Points: 55]

[Deductible]

[Status: The tree wishes to be still, but the wind does not stop; the man wishes to be at peace, but his heart is unsettled.]

Looking at his current Vitality, Noah Ji felt a bit relieved.

In the past two months, without having to warm the land for the clan, he could absorb three points of Vitality daily.

A few days ago, his Vitality finally reached 500 points.

After breaking through 500 points, Noah Ji grew a new cluster of leaves. This new cluster allowed him to absorb an additional 0.4 points of Vitality each night.

Although the growth rate had decreased compared to before, Noah Ji was still quite pleased.

A mighty tree grows from a tiny seed; a nine-story tower rises from a heap of earth.

Given enough time, he could soar to great heights.

In fact, Noah Ji’s Vitality growth wasn’t supposed to be this fast under normal circumstances.

But after spring arrived, he noticed a slight increase in his Vitality growth rate. This wasn’t due to the Lunar Eclipse Technique but something from underground.

The Blood Spring, which had been dormant during winter, seemed to have revived and played its role.

Although it didn’t significantly boost Noah Ji’s Vitality, it provided an additional 0.1 or 0.2 points daily.

This might be why his once withered tree could sustain itself.

Noah Ji didn’t dwell on it further and shifted his focus to the Qi and Blood section.

After several months of accumulation, his Qi and Blood, Spiritual Power, and Deduction Points had all reached new heights.

Originally, Noah Ji intended to save up more.

But now, time was pressing. The clan faced a new crisis, and he needed to prepare in advance, converting these points into strength for himself or the clan.

Looking at the Deductible button, Noah Ji didn’t hesitate any longer.

[This deduction will consume 10 Qi and Blood, 5 Spiritual Power, and 5 Deduction Points. Continue?]

[Yes? No?]

[This deduction will consume 20 Qi and Blood, 10 Spiritual Power, and 10 Deduction Points…]

[This deduction will consume 30 Qi and Blood, 20 Spiritual Power…]

Before the prompt could fully display, Noah Ji had already started doubling the deduction.

At Noah Ji’s rapid pace, the deduction conditions reached a new multiple.

[This deduction will consume 100 Qi and Blood, 50 Spiritual Power, and 50 Deduction Points. Continue?]

[Yes? No?]

(Note: This is a tenfold deduction. During the deduction, you will randomly carry nine of your abilities.)

(Note: The higher the deduction multiple, the easier it is to unlock rare maps.)

Noah Ji had intended to increase the multiple further, but then a new prompt appeared:

[Deduction multiple has reached its limit and cannot be increased!]

Hmm?

Noah Ji was a bit surprised. It seemed tenfold was the maximum.

Very well, let’s see what this tenfold deduction has to offer.

As Noah Ji confirmed, a series of different scenes began to unfold before his eyes.

But this time, Noah Ji noticed a difference.

The scenes that appeared were all places he had never seen before.

As the images settled, Noah Ji’s consciousness quickly immersed into them.
