Chapter 2230. Undying Bird Legacy
The beast that had died on the ground after it had reached the top step suddenly moved. Although it still looked old, it moved very quickly. It spryly ran up toward the old woman’s feet. The transparent fire ravaged the step, but heat could not be felt from it, and it began to rise high into the air.
Han Sen, Bai Wei, and the animal were shrouded in the transparent fire. It eventually all started to drift up high into the air. As the fire burned them, their bodies started to recover. It took away the added years and returned their original form from before they started to ascend the stairs.
The transparent fire then took on the shape of a transparent bird in the air. The bird looked something like a phoenix. It screamed and nodded to Han Sen. It then flew away from the steam bun mountain, flew to another mountain, and disappeared.
“Young man, you win.” The old woman looked at Han Sen with a look of seriousness. “But I must say I am curious; why were you so certain you would not die?”
Han Sen pointed at the animal next to the old woman. “You did not allow Bai Wei to leave the Way of Life and Death, but you did not stop us from using an animal to test this. That proved that it would not be bad for you. Plus, its acting was quite terrible. I only kicked it, and it ran straight up the stairs like mad. It didn’t even think to look back. That was so very strange, and so it made me think that you owned the creature.”
“Just because of that you dared to come all the way up?” The old woman looked at Han Sen strangely.
The prediction had been correct, but that was a moment that could have decided life and death. Even if Han Sen judged it that way, he should have been wary. Very few would dare to go all the way up.
Han Sen shook his head. “That guessing doesn’t matter in the end. What was most important was that I could see that it was not dead. Its acting was good, and it knew how to hide its life force. It could not hide from my vision, of course.”
Bai Wei, who now looked like a young girl, came the rest of the way up. She looked at the old woman’s animal and thought of something.
