Reincarnated as a Divine Tree

Chapter 71: Re-deduction

Benjamin and the other clan members had some understanding of the clan totem, but it wasn’t much.

After all, when the clan was at its peak, they were still young. Even within the clan, they could only admire the Sacred Tree from afar.

By the time they reached adulthood, the clan had already declined, leaving them with only a broken branch of the Sacred Tree.

Because of this, Noah Ji was even more curious about the other clan totems.

If the Liu Family had a clan totem, what would it look like? What purpose would it serve?

Noah was quite eager to find out.

Unfortunately, according to Ethan Chen’s description, the current Liu Family was not something the Chen Clan could afford to provoke.

The difference in strength between the two was immense. Even with the Five Organs Ascension Technique and his own vitality supply, it would be difficult to contend with them.

If a real fight broke out, let alone seeing the other clan’s totem, his own roots might get pulled out.

Ethan’s account made Noah, who had enjoyed two months of peace, feel a renewed sense of crisis.

It seemed he couldn’t relax just yet.

This also made Noah, who had been hesitant, secretly make up his mind.

After Ethan finished describing the situation, he left the Ancestral Hall and headed to his room.

Under the shade of the tree, the living souls of Benjamin and the other clan members were discussing what Ethan had just said.

One person’s wisdom is limited, but the collective wisdom is vast.

Without physical bodies, they couldn’t ensure the clan’s safety, but their memories remained. They could think and offer strategies for the clan.

The current challenges were the growth of the Blood Rice and uncovering the Liu Family’s intentions.

After a round of discussion, they quickly came to a decision.

Soon, Benjamin’s figure floated away, preparing to enter Ethan’s dream to convey their strategy.

As for the other living souls, they were all sitting cross-legged in various parts of the Ancestral Hall, using the Yin Qi emanating from Noah’s trunk to cultivate.

Initially, they thought they were merely resurrected soul bodies, and their lives would be like this.

But they soon discovered that as the Yin Qi increased, their soul bodies became more solid, their dream time extended, and their memories improved, allowing them to recall forgotten things.

They also found that their pre-death strength seemed to determine the richness of Yin Qi in their soul bodies.

For instance, Benjamin, who was the only Innate Realm warrior in the clan before, had a significant advantage over the other living souls.

After absorbing Yin Qi for over two months, Benjamin could even move briefly in daylight without relying on the shade of the Sacred Tree.

Although the activity time was extremely short, only a few breaths, this discovery excited many living souls.

They also wanted to see the clan in daylight, experience its vitality, and witness the growth of the younger generation.

However, with their current soul body strength, it was still difficult to achieve, so they needed to work harder.

Although they could also cultivate in the trunk space during the day, the effect was not as fast as relying on the Sacred Tree at night.

Watching the many living souls meditating below, Noah slowly shifted his gaze.

He could feel these soul bodies gradually growing stronger, much like the living souls in the Shadowy Realm.

But this was a good thing.

Because these living souls didn’t know he had another supernatural power.

Noah was curious about how strong they could become with Armor Overlay.

But soon, Noah turned his attention to his own panel.

【Name: Noah Ji】

【Race: Shadowy Sophora Tree】

【Vitality: 200.2】

【Supernatural Power: Eye of Insight, Reversal Pill, One Leaf Hindrance, Soul Condensation, Armor Overlay】

【Technique: Lunar Eclipse, Gathering Yin】

【Combat Skill: Grand Ancestor Long Fist (Can pass on techniques once)】

【Qi and Blood: 88 (Can be converted to Vitality)】

【Spiritual Power: 24】

【Deduction Points: 14】

【Available for Deduction】

【Status: Absorbing Moonlight…】

A month had passed since he last helped Michael Chen. During this month, Noah could absorb three points of vitality every night.

A month wasn’t enough for Noah to push his vitality to 200 points, especially since he occasionally used his supernatural powers to heal clan members.

However, when his vitality reached 180 points, Noah actively converted 40 points of Qi and Blood to see if 200 points of vitality would allow him to grow new branches.

Unfortunately, 200 points of vitality weren’t enough.

During this month, the Chen Clan sacrificed once a week, offering Blood Condensation Realm fierce beasts, which resulted in Noah having a considerable amount of Qi and Blood. If he hadn’t converted it to vitality, his Qi and Blood would have exceeded a hundred points by now.

Unfortunately, his spiritual power didn’t increase much, and two of the fierce beasts didn’t contribute at all. But it was still sufficient.

The deduction points now totaled fourteen, with one clan member advancing to the Blood Condensation Realm and six Body Tempering Realm clan members making progress, much better than the previous month.

Noah originally planned to save more points for a multi-fold deduction.

But Ethan’s account today forced Noah to make an early decision.

A man without a heart to harm others must still guard against those who would harm him.

The disparity in strength between the two clans was something Noah had to face.

Although the two sides had previously kept to themselves, the Chen Clan was now weak, and the Liu Family was making moves.

If the clan’s future were entrusted to the enemy’s goodwill, the Chen Clan’s demise wouldn’t be far off.

Strengthening himself was the key.

Even if not for the Chen Clan, Noah had to think of himself. He didn’t want to be sitting on unused points when the Liu Family warriors attacked the Ancestral Hall.

Converting current resources into his own strength was the most important thing.

Despite the limited deduction points, Noah couldn’t worry about that now.

【This deduction will consume 20 Qi and Blood, 10 Spiritual Power, and 10 Deduction Points. Continue?】

【Yes? No?】

(Note: This is a double deduction. During the deduction, you can randomly carry one of your abilities.)

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

Seeing the familiar prompt, Noah didn’t hesitate and clicked “Yes.”

The familiar scene reappeared.

Countless maps flashed before his eyes.

Noah saw the Shadowy Realm he had entered during the last multi-fold deduction.

If this deduction also led to that world, it wouldn’t be a bad outcome, as his current form was already a Shadowy Sophora Tree.

Growing in the Shadowy Realm would certainly be advantageous, like a fish in water.

Unfortunately, the Shadowy Realm flashed by and quickly disappeared from Noah’s sight.

As the carousel of maps began to slow down, Noah’s previously calm heart couldn’t help but stir.

Who invented this damn system anyway?
