Reincarnated as a Divine Tree

Chapter 130: Road open



Hearing the strange questions from many clan members, Ethan Chen waved his hand and dismissed the crowd.

In the ancestral hall, Oliver Chen, who had just finished his repairs, began recounting his recent experiences to Ethan Chen and several other Blood Condensation Realm warriors of the clan.

Above them, the spirits of deceased clan elders gathered, making the scene quite lively.

Although they had seen some glimpses through the light screen at night, they were busy with clan affairs during the day and hadn’t heard about Oliver’s daytime experiences.

After Oliver’s recount, Ethan and the others looked wistful.

Having lived deep in the mountains for so long, they had indeed forgotten what the outside world was like. However, it was certain that this place was far, far away from their clan’s previous location.

“According to Oliver, Yong’an City isn’t far from the clan. At the current pace of road construction, it should take about two more months to complete the road.”

“Do those shops really sell so many things?”

“But how will the clan obtain these Jade Coins?”

“It would be great if we could buy some Bodhi Fruits or Purple Ganoderma.”

The clan members expressed their opinions one after another.

Ethan stood aside, deeply interested in the heavenly treasures Oliver had mentioned.

If the clan had such resources, the warriors’ strength would surely improve significantly.

Although the Five Leaf Flower had good effects, its growth rate was too slow to meet the clan’s needs.

Moreover, the iron tools in the city, forged multiple times, also tempted Ethan.

To do a good job, one must first sharpen one’s tools. With high-quality iron tools, the clan would find hunting and farming much easier.

After some discussion, everyone left the ancestral hall, leaving Ethan standing under a tree, deep in thought.

Currently, Yong’an City was the closest and most convenient place. The road the clan was constructing would inevitably lead there.

However, he still needed to investigate the strength of the Four Great Families in Yong’an City to assess any potential risks.

But regarding the clan’s future direction, Ethan was no longer confused.

“Wife, I might not return to the clan for the next two months.”

The next day, outside the room, Daniel Chen looked reluctantly at the woman and the baby in her arms.

Due to the clan’s recent road construction, it took a lot of time for clan members to travel back and forth.

So, a few days ago, the clan had discussed making preparations for a long-term stay here. The villagers who had previously helped had already been sent back by Ethan because the newly planted grain rice needed tending.

“Go ahead, don’t worry. I’ll take care of everything at home.”

The woman responded decisively.

Daniel then looked at the baby in her arms and softly said:

“Samuel, remember to listen to your mother at home and don’t be naughty.”

“When Father returns, I’ll bring you something fun!”

Daniel’s face was full of affection, but he finally turned and left reluctantly.

Although his child needed his company, the clan needed him too.

Only by taking care of the bigger picture could he ensure the well-being of his family.

Many clan members packed their bags and food and left the clan.

Even Oliver, who had just returned, went to help open the new road. Most of those leaving were warriors, who were stronger and could work faster.

“Crack!”

In the dense forest, with the sound of breaking, a giant tree fell.

As the tree collapsed, many people below showed joy and began to dismember the fallen tree.

These people were the Chen clan members who had left two months ago to open the new road.

The fallen tree was Oliver’s work.

With his Innate Realm strength, his Qi and Blood were abundant, and combined with his mastery of the Grand Ancestor Long Fist, chopping down trees was a breeze.

Not far away, many clan members also looked joyful.

They were not just happy about clearing the obstruction but about the wide road a few dozen meters ahead.

The road was solid and had countless wheel tracks, indicating it had been in use for a long time.

Yes, in two months.

They had finally succeeded in opening the clan’s road. Now, they only needed to clear a few dozen more meters to connect with the outside world and usher in a new era for the clan.

Thinking of completing the task and returning to the clan, the clan members were even more motivated.

“Daniel, you’ve been out for two months. Will your son still recognize you when you return?”

A clan member teased Daniel, who laughed and said:

“My child is very smart; he’ll definitely recognize me!”

With that, Daniel’s smile grew wider.

He wasn’t just boasting. He had seen many clan members’ children, but he felt his son was smarter and more well-behaved, rarely crying.

Thinking that they would finish the road tomorrow, Daniel worked even harder.

Beside him, Oliver looked at the fallen tree, lost in thought.

He had broken through to the Innate Realm several months ago and had felt his progress during these months. Perhaps it wouldn’t be long before he reached the mid-Innate Realm.

However, to break through from the Innate Realm to the Internal Qi Realm, one needed to sense the presence of ‘Qi.’

Qi, derived from the power of Qi and Blood, was a more advanced form called Qi.

But he hadn’t comprehended this aspect yet.

He didn’t know when he would break through to the Internal Qi Realm.

After a while, Oliver returned to his senses and looked at the wide road ahead.

Though it was a road, the surroundings were still remote and uninhabited. However, according to Oliver’s previous travels, following this road for another day would lead to Yong’an City.

Oliver looked back; Disordered Burial Mountain had long disappeared from view, and behind him was a vast mountain range.

Unknowingly, they had traveled a long distance.

“Great!”

“Prepare a welcome for the clan members!”

In the ancestral hall, Ethan Chen looked at the scene on the light screen with joy.

This road construction had taken several months, costing the clan a lot of manpower and delaying many clan members’ martial arts training. But now, they finally saw the results.

With the road open, Disordered Burial Mountain would no longer be hidden. Many might come, but this was a necessary path to the clan’s strength.

However, what puzzled Ethan was that the Zhou Family hadn’t come to collect the Blood Rice this month.

The Blood Rice planted in the summer had been harvested by the end of last month, and they had already started planting a new batch. But the Zhou Family hadn’t shown up.

Maybe they forgot?
