Reincarnated as a Divine Tree

Vol. 1 - Ch. 98 - New Clan Rules

【Simulation complete!】【You have gained a new ability from this simulation: Keen Perception!】

Keen Perception: You can easily detect the malice of others.

Ji Yang was taken aback. He hadn’t expected to die so quickly during the simulation, let alone gain a new ability.

Not bad!

However, Ji Yang decided against using the remaining simulation points for now. A single simulation, while valuable, couldn’t fully preserve one's abilities. The risk was too great. It would be better to save the points for a series of simulations next time.

For now, breaking the clan's situation wasn’t something that could be rushed. Patience was key.

…

“Hei, ha!”

Three days later, the sound of fists filled the clan square.

The square was bustling with clan warriors honing their martial arts techniques. Just ten meters beyond the clan’s boundaries, snowflakes continued to fall, albeit more lightly than before. Several days of uninterrupted snowfall had left a thick layer of snow around the clan, but inside, the temperature remained pleasant. Warriors practicing their techniques wore thin clothing, their vigorous movements radiating heat.

“Ah, when will I finally master this combat skill?”

Chen Qinghe sighed as he executed a lackluster punch with the Taizu Long Fist. Though it was only a yellow-rank combat skill, mastering it required relentless practice.

Nearby, Chen Qingmeng’s expression was resolute. He continued to throw punches, focusing on the flow of blood and qi within his body. With each motion, he tried to synchronize his movements with the internal flow of energy. Seeing this, Chen Qinghe suppressed his complaints and returned to his own practice.

At a distance, Chen Xingzhen observed the scene with satisfaction. Though most of the Body Tempering Realm warriors hadn’t yet mastered the skill, progress was evident. It was only a matter of time.

As for the Bright Moon Like Frost combat skill, it was currently reserved for the clan’s Blood Coagulation Realm warriors. However, mastering a Mysterious Rank combat skill was no small feat.

Chen Xingzhen’s gaze shifted to the horizon.

He felt a twinge of unease. It had been days since Chen Qingyu had left the clan. If not for the Divine Tree’s assurance that nothing was amiss, Chen Xingzhen would have already sent

Chen Xingzhen, overjoyed, arranged a private room for him, ensuring he wouldn’t be disturbed.

…

Meanwhile, the arrival of Chen clan members in nearby villages caused a stir.

The villagers, confined by snow, had barely managed to clear their own paths, let alone the roads outside. Learning of the Chen family’s efforts left them surprised—and intrigued.

When the village leaders heard the Chen family’s purpose, they quickly spread the news.

Opportunity.

The word echoed in their minds.

The Chen family’s dominance over Chaotic Burial Mountain was undeniable. Fertile fields and hunting grounds that once belonged to others were now under their control.

Although they would hunt and farm from time to time, the areas they worked in were only those the three major families had abandoned. The hunting grounds were scarce in wild animals, and the resources were far from abundant. Even the fields they planted yielded only ordinary grains.

As for blood rice, they couldn’t grow it at all. The fertile fields necessary for cultivating blood rice were entirely controlled by the three major families.

But now, the Chen family was looking to marry outside.

Wasn’t this a golden opportunity for these villages?
