Han Sen climbed to the top of the tree, but there was still no sign of Bao'er.
"Bao'er, where are you?" Han Sen called again.
"Here." Bao'er poked her head out of the wall, which gave Han Sen quite a shock.
Bao'er's head seemed to grow out of the wall itself, and it was only two feet away from him. Han Sen reached his hand out to touch it, and his hand went through the wall without any resistance.
The wall, which looked very hard, did not seem to exist at all.
"Dad, come here." Bao'er's head went back inside, and she called for Han Sen.
Han Sen gritted his teeth and ran into the wall. He was surprised to find that there was a big cave inside. The sun was shining through the cave, and it was ten meters wide. Looking outside, Han Sen could see the pine tree and the surrounding environment.
But standing outside, he could not see the cave at all, which surprised Han Sen.
The cave did not look like much, and it looked like a natural cave. There were stalactites everywhere.
Bao'er was sitting on a rock in the cave. She was holding a fist-sized purple mushroom and stuffing it into her mouth.
Han Sen walked over to take a look, and he saw many purple mushrooms growing near the stone platform. They looked very bright and juicy.
If he was in the Alliance, Han Sen would not eat them. The brighter the mushroom, the more poisonous it was. Eating that kind of mushroom would be suicide.
But in the sanctuaries, things were different. Bao'er was eating them so happily, so he did not think they were poisonous.
Han Sen plucked one of the mushrooms and took a bite. It smelled good, and it was delicious.
After chewing a few times, he swallowed the mushroom. The mushroom was the size of a fist, so it only took him a few bites to finish it. He felt a chill spread throughout his body, as if his blood vessels had been injected with ice water. It was a very strange feeling.
"Sacred Geno Point + 1."
Han Sen heard this voice in his head, and it shocked Han Sen. The mushrooms there could increase sacred geno points, so they must be sacred-blood geno plants.
Han Sen did not hesitate, and just like Bao'er, he stuffed the mushrooms into his mouth. Soon, he heard the sacred geno points increase again.
But after eating five mushrooms, Han Sen could no longer increase his sacred geno points. After eating a few more, Han Sen gave up.
Bao'er, on the other hand, swept up all the mushrooms like a whirlwind. After a while, she sat there holding her round belly and burped. It seemed that she was really full this time.
While Bao 'er sat there and rubbed her belly, Han Sen looked into the cave. The cave led deeper, but it didn't lead downwards. It looked like it led upwards.
"I wonder if I can enter Phoenix Shelter from here," Han Sen thought to himself.
If the entrance to the entire Phoenix God Mountain was like this, where he could not see the entrance at all, then no matter how hard he searched, he would not be able to find the true entrance.
If he were to search inch by inch, he would have to search the entire Divine Phoenix Mountain. He wondered if he would be able to do so in ten years.
But when he entered the cave, he felt as if his Dongxuan Aura was no longer working. It was either being suppressed or being suppressed.
Han Sen was able to sense things within one meter of him, but he couldn't sense anything beyond that. When he saw the mushrooms, he didn't know they were geno plants because his dongxuan aura had been suppressed.
"Bao'er, let's take a look inside." Han Sen picked up Bao'er and walked deeper into the cave.
The cave went straight up, and it didn't have many branches. Han Sen followed the cave for a few hours, and although there were a few forks along the way, they all converged together and continued to go up. There were no branches that led to other places.
Apart from the purple mushrooms at the entrance, they would see similar purple mushrooms after walking for a while.
Bao'er was full, and she was not interested in the purple mushrooms. Han Sen ate one, but it did not give him any sacred geno points.
Meowth and Golden Howler were summoned, and they ate some of the mushrooms as well. Han Sen had been feeding them a lot of waterdrops, and while they looked different, they had not changed.
After walking for half a day, there was light in front of him. Han Sen had a wry smile on his face. He had walked for so long, and now, he had come out of the cave. His plan to enter the Phoenix Shelter through the cave had been foiled.
He carried Bao 'er out of the cave, and his eyes brightened. Everywhere he looked was wide, and he couldn't see any higher mountains. He had reached the peak of Phoenix God Mountain.
Looking down from the top of the mountain, he saw layers upon layers of mountains below, like a huge lotus that protruded above the sea of clouds. Every petal was a side peak attached to the main peak, and he didn't know how many layers there were. No wonder he couldn't see the real main peak after climbing for so long.
At the top of the main peak, there was a big tree. Han Sen did not know what kind of tree it was, but it was a hundred feet tall. The tree was as big as a hill, but it was dead. The bark was cracked, and there were many holes in the trunk. He did not know what kind of insects had gnawed on them.
What was even more bizarre was that this withered tree only had half of it. The upper half looked like it had been slashed diagonally by some terrifying weapon. One could clearly see that the upper half was missing, and a large portion of the withered branches were also missing along that slash.
"This tree is like a small mountain. I wonder what sort of weapon was used to cut it in half." Han Sen walked in front of the tree and peered into the hole.
He was surprised to find that the inside of this huge tree was basically empty, forming a huge circular hollow. It was slightly smaller than a basketball court, but not much smaller.
Han Sen looked inside the tree hole, and his eyes opened wide. There was a gold feather in the tree hole. It wasn't that Han Sen's eyesight was good; it was just that the feather was so eye-catching that it was hard for him not to notice it.
It was a feather that was almost two meters long. It was gold, and it was shining with a golden light. Han Sen reached out his hand to touch it, and he felt it was very hot. Even though he had maxed out on fire spirit geno points, he felt hot.
The feather felt like metal, and it was not soft at all. Han Sen reached out his hand to grab the feather, and he tried to pick it up.
But after a little bit of effort, he was unable to pick it up. He only managed to lift it a little. The weight of the feather was scary.
