Chapter 8 of "Reincarnated as a Divine Tree" opens with: Why was he a tree!Night slowly creeped in. The moon was shining brightly that night. Under... Find out what happens!

Why was he a tree!Night slowly creeped in. The moon was shining brightly that night. Under the moonlight, Ji Yang began to practise the technique he had deduced during the day, the Lunar Eclipse. The moonlight seemed to grow closer as soon as the technique was activated. With each of Ji Yang's breaths, the branches and leaves of the tree gained a faint white glow. The technique made Ji Yang’s form glimmer. Absorbing the moonlight, it didn’t take long for the whole tree to glow with a blinding white light. As if the tree was the last ray of hope. Fortunately, the walls of the ancestral hall shielded this phenomena from being noticed by others. As the technique progressed, Ji Yang's consciousness spread out, checking his own information. [Name: Ji Yang] [Race: Weak Locust Tree] [Life Force: 3.1] [Abilities: Eye of Insight, Reverse Dan Progress] [Technique: Lunar Eclipse] [Combat Skills: None] [Vitality: 4 (convertible to Life Force)] [Spiritual Power: 1] [Deduction Points: 23] [Undeducible!] [Status: Absorbing Lunar Essence...] Seeing that his life force had increased by 0.1,_ _Ji Yang lit up with joy. According to his calculations, half an hour of practising this technique would increase his life force by 0.1. This meant that running the technique for an entire night could increase his life force by roughly 1 point. Although the growth rate was rather slow, it was consistent and sustainable. With this technique, he wouldn't be entirely dependent on the Chen family's rituals and could significantly increase his chances of survival. This made Ji Yang very happy. With that, Ji Yang wholeheartedly immersed himself in the joy of absorbing lunar essence! At this moment, Chen Xingzhen, who had finished dealing with family matters, slowly made his way towards the ancestral hall. The family's situation was rapidly deteriorating, and Chen Xingzhen found himself visiting the ancestral hall more frequently for some peace. When Chen Xingzhen pushed open the door to the ancestral hall today, he froze in place. The family’s divine tree, which had appeared ordinary during the day, was now glowing brightly under the moonlight. The shimmering leaves were dazzling. Chen Xingzhen's joy could not be described with words. The divine tree had manifested its spirit! This was the true appearance the Chen family's divine tree should have! After so many years, he had witnessed the brilliance of the family’s divine tree once again! Chen Xingzhen closed the door to the ancestral hall and quickly approached Ji Yang. He then knelt down and bowed, muttering some incomprehensible words. Ji Yang naturally noticed Chen Xingzhen's arrival, but he didn't react much. Although he had consciousness, he couldn't speak and therefore couldn't communicate with Chen Xingzhen. As for his technique's strange effects being seen… It didn't matter. After all, he was the family's divine tree. Without displaying some miracles, how would the Chen family continue to revere him and offer sacrifices? After binding himself to the Chen family, he and the Chen family were inextricably linked. While the technique could certainly enhance his life force, surviving in this world still required the support of the Chen family Moreover, the conditions for deduction were quite stringent. Without the Chen family's sacrifices he probably couldn't grow quickly. After muttering for a while, Chen Xingzhen raised his head slightly and began to pray earnestly, "Great Divine Tree, I know you can hear the words of this old man. I am Chen Xingzhen, the current head of the Chen family. Our family is now in decline and its survival is at stake. I beseech you Great Divine Tree to provide the family with some guidance to help us through this crisis.This old man offers my deepest gratitude. If the family can successfully overcome this crisis, we will hold a grand three-day festival in honour of our Great Divine Tree!” Listening to Chen Xingzhen's words, Ji Yang understood the situation clearly. During the day, he had observed the reactions of everyone present very carefully. Apart from this patriarch who still cared about the family's divine tree, there were very few who truly believed among the others. Otherwise, those two youngsters wouldn't have sneaked into the ancestral hall at night to secretly chop the tree. The hope on the faces of others was merely because Chen Xingzhen was still the patriarch. Once Chen Xingzhen was gone, Ji Yang would most likely end up in dire straits. Probably ending up used as firewood. Therefore, whether it was to protect the Chen family or himself, Ji Yang needed to take action. In the past, Ji Yang could only watch helplessly as he had nothing he could offer. But times had changed, and now Ji Yang possessed a divine power. In the next moment, Ji Yang used his divine power:** Reverse Dan Progress** As Ji Yang activated his divine power, faint green light spots emerged from his leaves. Ji Yang's recently achieved life force of 3.2 decreased by 0.1. There was no doubt that these green light spots were another form of his life force. Ji Yang could sense their presence and had the ability to control them. Under Ji Yang's control, the green light spots quickly flowed towards Chen Xingzhen's body. Chen Xingzhen, still kneeling in prayer, sensed an unusual feeling within his body. Chen Xingzhen looked up and saw countless green light spots swirling around his body. With each green light spot that entered his body, he felt his condition improve significantly. Even the fatigue accumulated over the last few days had vanished instantly! Faced with this miraculous scene Chen Xingzhen immediately understood that this was the divine tree manifesting its power. He knelt and bowed fervently, exclaiming, "Thank you, Great Divine Tree! Thank you, Great Divine Tree! Our Chen family is saved!" Witnessing the green light spots, Chen Xingzhen was moved to tears with joy. After a long while, he calmed down from his excitement and began to experience the effects of these green light spots.

These green light spots not only eliminated fatigue but also revitalised the qi and blood within Chen Xingzhen's body. Sensing this, Chen Xingzhen was delighted! Martial artists, especially in the Body Refining stages, rely on the power of qi and blood within their bodies. When the power of qi and blood reaches a certain level, they can break through their current state and unlock their latent potential. Every high-level martial artist possesses incredibly powerful qi and blood. At his current age of over fifty, Chen Xingzhen was only at the Blood Coagulation Realm, which wasn't considered high. It might be decent in places like the Chaotic Burial Mountain, but it was still far from the level of true experts. At his age, breaking through again was extremely challenging, especially considering that as he had aged. His qi and blood would gradually decline with age leading to issues like diminished vitality and energy. However, these green light spots could activate the qi and blood within his body. This meant that as long as he absorbed enough of them, perhaps he could advance to the next realm? If he could experience such benefits from absorbing them, what about the younger members of his family? Thinking of this, Chen Xingzhen silently clenched his fist, feeling a surge of indescribable excitement in his heart! With the divine power of the family's divine tree, the Chen family had nothing to worry about. Not only that, but after absorbing enough of the green light spots, Chen Xingzhen felt that some lingering ailments from his youth had also vanished. As Chen Xingzhen's condition improved, the green light spots spreading from the divine tree disappeared almost entirely. However, at this moment Chen Xingzhen was extremely satisfied!
