Without the sacred tree, the family's development has lagged behind in recent years.
For example, the tribesmen born in recent years have not received the blessing of the sacred tree, so there are no such obvious changes.
With the help of the blood rice fruit, several more warriors in the late blood coagulation realm appeared in the tribe. However, without the help of the sacred tree, it was not easy for the tribe members to advance to the innate realm.
In fact, the impact of the sacred tree's slumber is more than that, but it makes the tribesmen realize the importance of the family sacred tree.
Chen Xingzhen watched the lively scene in the square for a while before turning around and walking towards the ancestral hall.
However, the decline of his internal energy and blood, as well as the busyness of the clan's many affairs, made his already old body a little more hunched, and even his mental state was not as good as before.
Chen Xingzhen didn't care too much about this.
He only hoped that the tribesmen’s daily prayers would allow the family sacred tree to wake up sooner. After all, he didn’t have much time left.
"Patriarch Chen, please stay."
Just as Chen Xingzhen was about to go to the ancestral hall, a voice behind him called him.
Chen Xingzhen turned his head and greeted with a smile:
"It's Mr. Gu, but isn't today a day off? How come Mr. Gu still has time to come over?"
Guyu smiled:
"I have nothing to do at home today, so I thought I'd come over for a walk."
"Time is unforgiving, and life is so short."
Guyu looked at the young men practicing martial arts in the square and couldn't help but sigh.
On the side, Chen Xingzhen, who was about to leave, felt the same way:
"Yes, life is like a fleeting moment in the universe."
Recalling the past, even Chen Xingzhen couldn't help but have a complicated look in his eyes.
The two chatted for a while, but Guyu changed the subject:
"Patriarch Chen, do you want to break through to the Xiantian realm? I heard that a warrior who enters the Xiantian realm can extend his life by dozens of years?"
Chen Xingzhen smiled and said:
"The Xiantian realm can indeed increase one's lifespan by several decades, but Mr. Gu doesn't know that I am already old, and now I am only in the late stage of the blood coagulation realm. Although I am only one small realm away from the Xiantian realm, the gap between them is like a chasm. I am afraid it will be difficult to break through in my lifetime."
"I don't think so. If Patriarch Chen is willing, it won't be a big problem."
Guyu's casual words came to my ears.
This made Chen Xingzhen couldn't help but look sideways, and he was met with Guyu's smiling gaze.
After a closer look, Chen Xingzhen realized that it was still the Mr. Gu from the clan, but at this moment he saw an extraordinary demeanor and a completely different look in this Mr. Gu.
They were obviously the same person, but their temperaments were so different that he even felt a sense of familiarity with Mr. Gu.
In just a moment, Chen Xingzhen reacted. His eyes were filled with excitement, and even his body couldn't help but tremble slightly, with an expression of extreme joy on his face.
"What does Patriarch Chen think?"
Ji Yang asked with a smile as he supported Chen Xingzhen who was preparing to offer sacrifices.
For a moment, Chen Xingzhen couldn't help but reveal a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
But soon, Chen Xingzhen calmed down. Although he was still happy, he did not rush to answer. Instead, he fell into deep thought.
Seeing this, Ji Yang did not disturb him, but waited patiently for Chen Xingzhen's answer.
After a while, Chen Xingzhen seemed to have an answer in his eyes, and then shook his head and said:
"I appreciate the kindness of Lord Shenshu, but whether or not I can achieve a breakthrough is not what I really want."
"If possible, I only hope that Master Shenshu can continue to protect the family."
Ji Yang fell silent after hearing this. He certainly knew that the sheltering family Chen Xingzhen mentioned was not just a simple shelter, but had a deeper meaning.
After a moment of silence, Ji Yang nodded:
"Okay, I promise."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xingzhen could no longer hide the smile on his face.
But before he could thank her, Gu Yu in front of him changed completely. The light in his eyes quickly disappeared, gradually becoming cloudy, and there was a trace of confusion on his face:
"Hmm? Chief Chen? Why am I here?"
"Mr. Gu, I'll have the clan members take you back later. The family still has important matters to attend to, so I'll go back to the ancestral hall first."
Chen Xingzhen didn't say much, but ran quickly towards the ancestral hall.
The originally aged body seemed to be rejuvenated with new vitality at this moment.
This made Guyu, who had not yet figured out the reason, look envious, but afterwards, he felt that his body had become much lighter.
Hmm? Is he getting better as he gets older?
Many tribesmen were surprised when they saw the clan leader running towards the ancestral hall. Before they could figure out what was happening, an order soon came.
"All members of the family, gather in the ancestral hall!"
After hearing this, many clansmen seemed to understand and rushed towards the ancestral hall with a hint of excitement on their faces.
"Uncle Qingcheng, wait for me!"
…
Soon, Chen Tianyu and others who got the news rushed over, but some clansmen who stayed in Yong'an City were still unaware of it.
“Patriarch.”
Chen Tianyu, who rushed to the ancestral hall, also looked excited, but after entering the hall, he did not find anything unusual, which made Chen Tianyu a little confused.
But before he could ask, Chen Tianyu's whole body suddenly shook, because he felt a strong vitality coming from the sacred tree in front of him.
Under the focused gaze of many clansmen, the family sacred tree that had originally fallen into death and decline quickly changed.
