Vol. 1 - Ch. 5 - Sprouting

“The tree… The tree has sprouted!” Chen Qingmeng pulled Chen Qinghe’s sleeve, pointed at Ji Yang and exclaimed. Sᴇaʀch* Thᴇ N0vᴇlFirᴇ.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.“What nonsense are you talking about!”

Chen Qinghe frowned, but still looked in the direction Chen Qingmeng was pointing.

When Chen Qinghe saw the divine tree that was full of vitality and had become vibrant, his mouth unconsciously opened wide, “This… how could this be?!” Chen Qinghe muttered to himself, his eyes filled with disbelief.

After processing this scene before him, Chen Qinghe suddenly reacted, hurriedly pulling Chen Qingmeng, who was still in a daze, and ran towards the exit of the ancestral hall!

“Run!”

The two of them looked panicked. They didn’t know how to deal with this situation. So escaping was the best option.

“Wait the axe!” Chen Qingmeng, who was being pulled away, shouted.

“At this time does the axe matter? Run!”

The door of the ancestral hall was locked. The two fled the same way they had sneaked in. Their fear making them faster.

After the two left, the ancestral hall became quiet again, with only the mountain-opening axe left under the divine tree as evidence of their visit.

Inside the ancestral hall, Ji Yang was currently relishing the feeling of increased vitality in his body.

Although the life force was not much, it was more than before.

Ji Yang tried hard to stretch his body, but all he got was a slight tremble of the branches.

But being able to do this was already very satisfying for Ji Yang. This meant that as long as his life force was enough, he could eventually use the branches as his own arms.

Looking down at the place where the two had just chopped with the mountain-opening axe, had also recovered to its original state quickly because of the increased vitality.. Signalling that his own recovery ability was extremely strong which made Ji Yang very happy.

As expected of a divine tree! It indeed has extraordinary characteristics.

Moreover, when he converted his Qi and blood into life force just now, his roots had already penetrated deep into the ground and spread quite a bit. His vision could see farther and clearer because of this.

However, Ji Yang also discovered a drawback at this time. After binding with the family, his roots were deeply rooted in the ground and could not move.

If he tried to move forcefully, his vitality would probably dissipate.

This means that Ji Yang needs to stay here all the time! His existence is tied to the survival of the Chen family.

Once the Chen family is destroyed, his own end probably won’t be much better!

Although he took root because of the two naughty boys just now, from another perspective, it seems that he didn’t have a choice.

For this, Ji Yang didn’t have any anger or complaints, but instead felt a kind of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

Who made him a tree…

Then Ji Yang seemed to think of something, and his personal information appeared again.

[Name: Ji Yang]

[Race: Weak Locust Tree]

[Life Force: 3]

[Divine Power: Eye of Insight]

[Cultivation Method: None]

[Combat Skills: None]

[Qi and Blood: 0 (Can be converted into life force)]

[Spiritual Power: 2]

[Deduction Points: 28 (Each breakthrough in the family’s realm can increase the corresponding points, Body Tempering Realm +1, Blood Coagulation Realm +2…)]

[Cannot Deduce!]

[Note: Need Qi and Blood 10, Spiritual Power 5, Deduction Points 5 to deduce!]

[Status: As a worshipped divine tree, you have barely recovered a bit of vitality, but it doesn’t have much effect.]

Apart from the growth of life force, Ji Yang was quickly attracted by the deduction function that showed up after binding with a family.

Although he didn’t know what this deduction was for, Ji Yang could feel that this might be the only way to save the Chen family at the moment. Not only to save the Chen family, but also to save himself.

But after seeing the prerequisites for deduction, Ji Yang was once again caught in a dilemma.

The prerequisites for deduction are sufficient Qi and blood, spiritual power, and deduction points.

Among them, he already has 28 deduction points. According to the introduction of the deduction skill, these points are probably the result of the martial artists in the family now who have broken through.

The deduction points are enough, but he lacks a lot of Qi and blood, and spiritual power. How can he find a way to deduce?

To obtain these two things, the only channel Ji Yang knows right now is the sacrifices from the Chen family.

Absorbing beast blood can increase these two attributes.

But can the Chen family, as it is now, still sacrifice beast corpses for him?

If possible, Ji Yang wants to call Chen Xingzhen right now, to sacrifice beast carcasses for him.

But he can neither speak nor move. He can only pray silently in his heart.

I hope that the Patriarch, Chen Xingzhen, will not let him down.

The night is like ink, and the moon is still high.

Inside the Chen family, except for two or three people on patrol, there is no movement.

The two people who left, Chen Qinghe and Chen Qingmeng, have not returned. It seems that they actually hid in their own rooms.

The next day dawned with a touch of white in the sky.

Chen Xingzhen walked out of his room with a tired face.

The family is in danger. Even after thinking about it all night, he still couldn’t find a way out for the family, which made Chen Xingzhen physically and mentally exhausted.

“Patriarch! Patriarch, something big has happened!”

Hearing the panic voice coming from the door, Chen Xingzhen was shocked, and his face immediately became serious.

Could it be that the Li family has come to the door again?

Yesterday they sacrificed their ancestors, which also caused the Li family losses. It’s been less than a day, how could they have come to their door so quickly?

As a young man rushed in frantically, Chen Xingzhen immediately said, “Gather the clan, prepare for battle!”

The young man hurriedly waved his hand after hearing this: “Patriarch, it’s not… it’s not the Li family!”

“It’s the Divine Tree! The clan’s Divine Tree has sprouted! Patriarch, you must go and see!”

Chen Xingzhen, who was frowning, could no longer maintain his composed face after hearing the news of the Divine Tree sprouting. This news made him more restless than the Li family knocking on his door.

“Are you telling the truth?” Chen Xingzhen suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked again.

“Patriarch, it’s absolutely true, I discovered it when I went to clean the clan ancestral hall this morning! Quickly Patriarch, follow me to take a look!”

Chen Xingzhen’s face was complicated and he hurriedly ran towards the clan’s ancestral hall.

At this time, there were already many people gathered outside the clan ancestral hall. These people did not dare to approach the ancestral hall. They were just standing at the door watching.

“The patriarch is here, the patriarch is here!”

“Everyone, make way!”

Facing the curious eyes of the clan members, Chen Xingzhen didn’t say much and instead walked straight through the main gate of the ancestral hall.

After Chen Xingzhen entered the ancestral hall, he immediately saw the rejuvenated Divine Tree!

Although the Divine Tree was not lush, the newly grown branch even looked a bit thin, but at this moment Chen Xingzhen’s body shook with excitement.

He was a little incredulous when he heard the news of the Divine Tree sprouting earlier, but now that he had seen it with his own eyes, he expressed the emotions in his heart.

He thought he would never see the vibrant look of the Divine Tree in his lifetime. So he didn’t expect to see this scene at this moment.

Thinking of the power of the clan’s Divine Tree back then, Chen Xingzhen showed a glimmer of hope in his eyes, and he murmured in a low voice:

“That’s great. We’re saved! The clan is saved!”
