Reincarnated as a Divine Tree

Chapter 127: Enlightenment’s New Usage

On this day, at dusk.

After handling the clan’s trivial matters, Ethan Chen and the others returned to the Ancestral Hall. After praying to the Sacred Tree, they saw the scene on the light screen as they had hoped.

Three days ago, Oliver Chen had already left the Zhou Family, preparing to return to the clan.

However, the task Ethan Chen assigned him this time was somewhat heavy. On his way back, Oliver Chen needed to scout the route outside Disordered Burial Mountain and gather information on other clans, which would take some time.

In the past few days of watching, they had learned more about the outside world and were mentally prepared.

Just as they were fully engrossed in watching, a sudden cry of a baby echoed through the clan.

At the same time, a joyful shout quickly reached the Ancestral Hall.

“Great news, I’m going to be a father!”

Hearing this, Ethan Chen and the others were momentarily stunned, but then they remembered that these days were indeed the due date for Daniel Chen’s wife.

Daniel Chen, as a member of the clan’s “Tian” generation, was already over thirty. Although he was much younger than Mason Chen and the others, he had not had any children until now.

However, last year, Daniel Chen’s wife became pregnant, but at that time, the clan was in crisis and had no time to pay attention.

Hearing the shout, the few of them couldn’t continue watching the scene on the light screen and walked out of the Ancestral Hall.

This was the first baby born in the new year for the clan, representing new hope and a good omen.

The baby’s cries quickly made the clan lively, with many clan members bringing their gifts to offer congratulations.

Noah Ji’s strong consciousness clearly heard the baby’s cries.

It was a boy.

Noah Ji didn’t feel much, but seeing the birth of a new generation in the clan still made him quite happy.

Quantity doesn’t necessarily mean quality, but when the quantity is large enough, the quality will also improve.

As the baby’s cries continued, Noah Ji withdrew his consciousness and focused on absorbing the moonlight.

But then, Noah Ji suddenly froze.

Babies cry because they haven’t awakened their intelligence, don’t know the outside world, can’t speak, and can only get protection through instinctive cries.

Although they still won’t speak in two years, by then, the babies will have awakened their intelligence and have their own thoughts.

But why not advance it a bit?

Enlightenment: You can consume a certain amount of vitality and spiritual power to awaken the intelligence of a creature, accelerating its growth.

Noah Ji pondered the effect of this supernatural power repeatedly, and his mind became clearer.

Who said it had to be used on fierce beasts? Couldn’t it be used on babies who haven’t awakened their intelligence?

Perhaps he had fallen into a misconception before and hadn’t thought of this.

If he could awaken the intelligence of babies in advance, the development of the clan members would surely speed up.

Before Noah Ji could experiment, Ethan Chen and Daniel Chen brought the newborn baby to the Ancestral Hall.

According to clan tradition, newborn babies must pray to the Sacred Tree for their healthy growth.

This had nothing to do with anything else, just a blessing.

Even when the Sacred Tree had not shown its spirit, the clan had this tradition, let alone now that the Sacred Tree had a spirit.

The group quickly entered the Ancestral Hall, came under the Sacred Tree, and began to pray.

Holding the baby was a woman in her thirties, her face slightly pale, but her good physical condition and her care for the child made her carry the baby herself.

In the woman’s arms was a fair-skinned child with bright eyes, untainted by any dust.

However, the child was crying incessantly, not stopping even in the woman’s arms.

After the clan members prayed, Noah Ji did not hesitate any longer.

As the light flashed between the branches and leaves of the Sophora Tree, numerous green specks fell from the leaves.

These green specks quickly entered the bodies of the woman and the child she was holding.

As the green specks poured into the body, the crying child instantly stopped and quickly looked at the Sacred Tree and the many green specks falling in his field of vision, making cheerful sounds and appearing extremely excited.

Beside them, Daniel Chen’s face lit up with joy, and he sincerely worshipped again.

His child was the first in the clan to receive the blessing of the Sacred Tree, which would surely make the other clan members envious.

While Noah Ji was using the Reversal Pill supernatural power, he also cast another supernatural power on the baby, Enlightenment.

After casting the Enlightenment supernatural power, there was no prompt in front of Noah Ji.

At the same time, Noah Ji’s vitality and spiritual power began to deplete.

It worked!

When Noah Ji’s vitality decreased by ten points and his spiritual power decreased by five points, it finally stopped.

The vitality and spiritual power consumed were about five times that of a Spirit-Tailed Chicken, which did not cause much fluctuation in Noah Ji’s heart. Now, his vitality was abundant, and his spiritual power could be replenished daily.

Compared to the consumed vitality and spiritual power, he was more concerned about what special changes the baby would have after Enlightenment.

However, based on his observations of the Spirit-Tailed Chicken, this supernatural power would take some time to take effect.

At least for now, the baby in the woman’s arms showed no special signs and was like a normal baby.

After a round of prayers, everyone left.

At this moment, Noah Ji checked his current status:

[Name: Noah Ji]

[Race: Shadowy Sophora Tree]

[Vitality: 553.2]

[Supernatural Powers: Eye of Insight, Reversal Pill, One Leaf Hindrance, Soul Condensation, Armor Overlay, Scorched Earth, Enlightenment]

[Techniques: Lunar Eclipse, Gathering Yin, Incense Fire Golden Body, Spirit Devourer]

[Combat Skills: Grand Ancestor Long Fist]

[Qi and Blood: 115 (convertible to vitality)]

[Spiritual Power: 23]

[Deduction Points: 8]

[Deductible]

[Status: Absorbing moonlight]

The clan’s sacrifices, the revival of the natural Blood Spring, and the growth of his techniques had greatly accelerated Noah Ji’s vitality growth.

Even after just consuming ten points of vitality, Noah Ji had still increased his vitality by thirty points in the past ten days, not counting the convertible Qi and Blood.

As for spiritual power, it was barely enough for now, but only if few babies were born in the clan.

Given the current situation in the clan, in a few months, his spiritual power would face a significant consumption, so he needed to store some in advance to ensure he could perform Enlightenment when needed.

After the tenfold deduction last time, his deduction points had returned to single digits, and it would take some time before he could perform another multiple deduction.

The daily prayers of the clan members had also added a faint golden hue to the special Sophora Leaf on Noah Ji’s branches.

As his underground roots grew, the amount of Yin Qi he absorbed each night also increased, which was why the soul bodies’ strength was improving quickly.

In a few months, the soul bodies’ strength might surpass the living clan members, and by then, if he could overlay armor on them, it would bring a pleasant surprise to the clan.

The downside was that even though the weather was warming up, the temperature in the clan remained low.

But this might not be a bad thing; at least when summer arrived, the clan members wouldn’t have to worry about the heat.
