Reincarnated as a Divine Tree

In the dark of night, Jay Li wore a bitter smile on his face.

"It seems you've already figured it out."

"Nowadays, most of the resources in Disordered Burial Mountain are occupied by the Chen Clan. Coupled with the assistance of that so-called Sacred Tree, if nothing unexpected happens, the Chen Clan will only grow stronger in the coming decades, possibly far surpassing their current scale."

"If this continues, what will our Li Family have to compete with them?"

Joshua Li fell into deeper silence.

Indeed, even with the previous strength of their family, they were defeated by the Chen Clan. Even if he were to start anew and redevelop the family, could they ever match the Chen Clan, which possesses the Sacred Tree?

Over time, the gap between the two families would only widen.

"The reason the Chen Clan could turn the tide and achieve victory, I suspect, is largely due to that Sacred Tree."

"During the previous great battle, I caught a glimpse of that Sacred Tree. It is planted within the Chen Clan's Ancestral Hall. Now that we've discovered this secret passage, it seems like heaven is aiding our Li Family."

"This secret passage most likely leads to the Chen Clan's Ancestral Hall. I can use the cover of night to enter the hall through this passage and destroy that Sacred Tree!"

"Without the Sacred Tree, with your abilities, you can definitely revive our family. Surpassing the Chen Clan would only be a matter of time."

Upon hearing Jay Li's plan, Joshua Li immediately objected:

"No, Uncle, it's too risky."

Jay Li shook his head.

"I'm already old, and the late-stage Blood Condensation Realm is my limit. It's difficult for me to advance to the Innate Realm in this lifetime. Even if I leave Disordered Burial Mountain, it won't be of much help to the family."

"Since you've decided to change course, with your abilities, you can safely lead our people out of Disordered Burial Mountain."

"How can we give up such a golden opportunity?"

"Moreover, the Chen Clan is currently in disarray. There probably aren't many guards in the Ancestral Hall. With my late-stage Blood Condensation Realm strength, it's more than enough. Perhaps I can even destroy the Sacred Tree and then leave through the secret passage. I'll follow the route and catch up with you later."

After speaking, a hint of confidence appeared in Jay Li's eyes.

This made Joshua Li swallow back the words of persuasion he was about to say.

After the family's previous defeat, he had analyzed the reasons.

The main reason was that the injured members of the Chen Clan had recovered within a few days.

Combined with the mysterious Sophora Leaves, this led to the family's ultimate defeat.

These two reasons were clearly related to the Sacred Tree of the Chen Clan.

If things could really go as Jay Li planned, it would indeed be a good thing for the family.

It could curb the Chen Clan's development and avenge their past defeat.

But he worried that his uncle might not return.

However, he also understood that this seemed to be the only thing the family could do at the moment, and succeeding would greatly benefit their future revenge.

Rationality and emotion clashed.

After a moment, Joshua Li's gaze steadied.

"Uncle, let's discuss the specific details."

"Alright!"

…

In the Ancestral Hall, Noah Ji was silently absorbing the moonlight and Yin Qi.

Today was the fifth day since the White Fruits had started growing. Although their size hadn't changed much from the original fist-sized shape, their color had gradually shifted from white to gray, and the faces on the fruits had become more distinct and lifelike.

Just as Noah Ji was focused on absorbing the moonlight, a sudden sound of someone landing came from within the hall.

"Thud!"

The sound of someone climbing over the wall made Noah Ji's heart skip a beat.

Normal clan members would use the main entrance. Anyone climbing over the wall was definitely up to no good, just like when Lucas Chen and Alexander Chen had come to chop him down in the middle of the night.

He thought it might be those two returning, but when Noah Ji looked over, he saw only one figure.

The figure seemed familiar and moved lightly, so much so that Noah Ji's buried roots didn't detect it immediately.

At this moment, the figure was slowly approaching Noah Ji.

But Noah Ji didn't react much, only feeling a bit puzzled.

The visitor was none other than Oliver Chen.

If it had been before, Noah Ji would have been extremely worried. After all, Oliver Chen's realm wasn't low, and he had shown disrespect towards the Sacred Tree. Noah Ji had been genuinely concerned that Oliver might act impulsively.

But now, he wasn't worried.

As a genius of the younger generation in the clan, Oliver Chen had initially wanted the Clan Chief to wake up from his obsession with the Sacred Tree to save the clan.

After Noah Ji used his supernatural power to display divine might and save the Chen Clan, Oliver Chen seemed to have lost his rebellious thoughts, even though he still appeared somewhat defiant.

Moreover, he had been diligent and responsible during the recent hunting.

Under such circumstances, Noah Ji naturally didn't worry that Oliver would do anything outrageous. He was just curious about why Oliver was here at this time.

Oliver Chen approached slowly and stopped two meters away from the Sacred Tree.

His gaze swept over Noah Ji's branches one by one before finally settling on a White Fruit.

Following Oliver's gaze, Noah Ji also looked at the White Fruit.

Without looking closely, Noah Ji already knew the reason. The face on the White Fruit bore a seven-point resemblance to Oliver.

It turned out that the one hanging on the tree was his father.

Noah Ji's gaze swept over the spiritual positions in the Ancestral Hall and found the name of Oliver's father, Edwin Chen.

Edwin, the same generation as Mason Chen and Elijah Chen in the current clan. Given Oliver's age, Edwin should be the oldest of that generation, but he should only be in his forties or fifties. It was unclear why he had died early.

Noah Ji didn't dwell on it and continued absorbing the moonlight.

Oliver Chen, standing under the tree, didn't cry like other clan members. He just stood quietly under the moonlight, looking at the familiar face above, as memories flooded his mind.

He stood there for a long time without moving.

Until the sound of slow footsteps came from outside the Ancestral Hall, Oliver Chen snapped back to reality, quickly climbed over the wall, and left the hall.

But as he was climbing over the wall, his body suddenly paused, almost falling off the wall.

However, relying on his late-stage Blood Condensation Realm strength, Oliver Chen used his hands to pull himself up and eventually left safely.

"Creak."

The door of the Ancestral Hall slowly opened.

Noah Ji didn't even need to look to know who it was.

After all, besides Ethan Chen, the Clan Chief, few others would come over in the middle of the night.

Ethan Chen didn't rush towards Noah Ji after entering the hall. Instead, he first glanced at the wall.

Although he was older, he was still a late-stage Blood Condensation Realm warrior. How could the commotion in the hall escape his notice?

Ethan Chen had already guessed who it was but didn't intend to expose him. He just shook his head and sighed, then approached the Sacred Tree with a respectful expression.

Even though he had looked at it many times before, his feelings became complicated again when he saw the White Fruits on the tree.

But he hadn't forgotten the purpose of his visit.

Noah Ji knew his intentions, but he didn't know how to communicate with Ethan Chen, the Clan Chief.

But that didn't matter.
