Reincarnated as a Divine Tree

Chapter 89: Green bamboo

Now it seems that this must be the item.

However, this Totem doesn’t look very spirited, much like how he felt when he first transformed into a tree.

With this, the Liu Family’s motive for demanding the natural Blood Spring becomes quite clear.

Fortunately, the Liu Family’s Totem is in this state; otherwise, the outcome of this clan battle would be uncertain.

“Ceremony complete! Sacrifice!”

After a series of complicated rituals, they quickly arrived at Noah Ji’s favorite part.

Considering the Sacred Tree had lost too much divine power after the great battle, Ethan Chen first sacrificed a few fierce beasts, leaving the seemingly extraordinary green bamboo for last.

This move was quite prudent, and Noah Ji didn’t mind it.

As the sacrifices began, Noah Ji’s Qi and Blood started to increase rapidly.

After the last fierce beast was sacrificed, Noah Ji’s Qi and Blood had reached 60 points, and his Spiritual Power had increased by 6 points.

Noah Ji didn’t store the 60 points of Qi and Blood; instead, he directly converted them into 30 points of Vitality.

Although these 30 points were not much compared to the lost Vitality, with the rapid increase in Vitality, Noah Ji’s condition improved significantly, and his consciousness began to recover.

Finally, Noah Ji turned his gaze to the few pieces of green bamboo that weren’t very vibrant in color.

Logically, as the Liu Family’s Totem, there should only be one piece, but now there were four or five.

Ethan Chen didn’t rush to sacrifice but first explained the origin of the green bamboo to Noah Ji. Seeing no response from Noah Ji, he then began the sacrifice.

When the people of the clan placed the green bamboo on the sacrificial soil, the bamboo quickly began to take root, and the color of the bamboo gradually turned green, showing signs of revival.

The people of the clan were astonished and took a few steps back.

Ethan Chen was also a bit nervous, watching the scene closely, ready to switch from automatic to manual control at any moment.

If something went wrong, he would immediately destroy the green bamboo. However, seeing that the Sacred Tree had not given any clear instructions, he didn’t act rashly. At this moment, he was certain that this was indeed the Liu Family’s Totem.

Seeing this, Noah Ji didn’t hesitate and quickly used his roots to entangle the bamboo roots.

This place was his domain; how could he allow another Totem to grow freely?

The moment the roots entangled, a foreign consciousness instantly connected with Noah Ji.

This consciousness was hazy, seemingly still asleep, and the growth of the bamboo appeared to be a mere instinctive reaction.

Without hesitation, Noah Ji used his roots to transmit his consciousness, invading the consciousness of the bamboo.

Sensing the invasion, the sleeping consciousness reacted, sending a weak response:

“Who dares to disturb my slumber!”

Noah Ji ignored it and crushed it with his powerful consciousness.

The bamboo, realizing something was wrong, began to awaken from its confusion, but after being dormant for so long, it was no longer as formidable as it once was.

As the bamboo’s consciousness awakened, the bamboo outside underwent significant changes. Countless bamboo leaves grew wildly, and a faint fragrance filled the Ancestral Hall, making people feel refreshed and at ease.

Seeing the situation deteriorate, Ethan Chen prepared to stop the bamboo’s growth, but before he could raise his hand, the wildly growing bamboo suddenly withered.

The tender green bamboo gradually lost its color, and the newly grown leaves withered.

In Noah Ji’s view, the situation was different. After invading the bamboo’s consciousness, he enveloped it and began to devour it with his consciousness.

This was purely an instinctive reaction from Noah Ji.

The bamboo, enveloped by Noah Ji’s consciousness, struggled desperately to escape.

But its struggle and resistance were weak. Realizing it couldn’t escape, the bamboo began to send a new consciousness:

“Please, spare me…”

“Qingling is willing to serve you and assist the clan together…”

…

Noah Ji ignored the bamboo’s pleas.

One shining star is enough!

Seeing that begging was useless, the bamboo’s consciousness began a desperate counterattack, sending thoughts of rage:

“I will never forgive you, even in death!”

“You will never devour me!”

…

Under its fierce resistance, the remaining consciousness of the bamboo exploded, startling Noah Ji. He prepared to defend himself, but the explosion felt like a gentle breeze, comforting and warm.

Noah Ji was stunned for a moment, then looked at the remaining fragments of consciousness and devoured them one by one without wasting any.

In the Ancestral Hall, Ethan Chen kept a close eye on the situation.

But in just a few breaths, the once vibrant bamboo had turned completely black, collapsing to the side like a burnt stick.

The scene was like a fleeting moment.

Many people of the clan looked on in confusion, not knowing what had happened, and could only pray silently.

Seeing this, Ethan Chen’s face returned to calm and composure.

Although he didn’t know what had just happened, judging by the vibrant branches of the Sacred Tree, it wasn’t a bad thing.

After the sacrifice, Ethan Chen prayed for a while before leaving.

As the Clan Chief, he should have been praying by the Sacred Tree, but with many clan affairs to attend to, he believed the Sacred Tree wouldn’t blame him.

Many people of the clan also began to busy themselves. As for the Sacred Tree sacrifice, Ethan Chen left it to Oliver Chen.

After devouring the fragments of consciousness, Noah Ji’s mind was filled with some unfamiliar and fragmented memories.

In the memories, he was a green bamboo growing in a bamboo forest, no different from ordinary bamboo. But at some point, he gradually gained consciousness and developed intelligence.

Not long after, a human warrior found him and transplanted him to a new place, offering daily sacrifices.

After that, he got a new name, Qingling.

However, those who worshipped him called him Lord Qingling!

As time passed, it didn’t take long for him to become the Totem of that clan, gradually growing stronger, with bamboo leaves that had special abilities.

Noah Ji wanted to continue experiencing the memories, but they became like countless flickering snowflakes, obscuring the content.

When Noah Ji looked again, it was the last clear memory of the bamboo.

In the scene, someone transplanted him into a courtyard, and the bamboo’s consciousness fell into a deep sleep.

The last person to transplant him was none other than the current Liu Family Clan Chief, Liu Zishan.

After the Liu Family’s complete defeat, the bamboo split into several pieces, but its main body remained as one.

This seemed to be the bamboo’s last struggle, but unfortunately, Ethan Chen dug them all up.

After reviewing the memories, Noah Ji pondered. It seemed this was the origin of the Liu Family’s green bamboo Totem, but due to the fragmented consciousness, the memories were incomplete, and he couldn’t see how the Liu Family fell.

However, the situation was likely one of a few possibilities.

What surprised Noah Ji was the bamboo’s abilities.

Its bamboo leaves could enhance a warrior’s comprehension abilities, increasing their understanding of realms and combat skills.

Even the Bright Moon Like Frost was created by a warrior in the Internal Qi Realm of the Liu Family during its peak, after using the bamboo leaves.
