Chapter 1907 Strange Mountain

Han Sen planned to practice in the mountains . He didn’t need to practice Teeth Knife, but there were too many spies occupying the base . If Han Sen stayed there without practicing, people might grow suspicious .
So, Han Sen headed into the mountains to train . But instead of practicing Teeth Knife as he had told everyone, he began to work on the Dongxuan Sutra .
His Mutant Blood and Jadeskin had reached Viscount class, but the Dongxuan Sutra and The Story of Genes hadn’t . The Story of Genes couldn’t be leveled up through mere practice, so he could only focus on the Dongxuan Sutra for now .
Han Sen didn’t take anyone with him this time . He planned to push himself hard in order to breakthrough, which would make it dangerous to have others around him .
Fortunately, there were many resources on Planet Eclipse . Xie Qing King and others could venture out and hunt xenogeneics on their own . The people he had brought over from the sanctuaries could eat xenogeneic genes and use beast souls, so they leveled up faster than the people in the geno universe .
“Xenogeneic Gene Eaten; Iron Wolf; Viscount Gene +1 . ”
Han Sen gobbled up some xenogeneic meat, and his Viscount xenogeneic gene tally increased . When one of his bodies became Viscount, he could increase that gene tally . Baron xenogeneic genes were currently useless for him . He had to eat Viscount materials exclusively now .
Killing Viscount xenogeneics was an easy task for Han Sen, and his Viscount genes were increasing quickly .
After six days of travel, Han Sen found himself more than a thousand miles deep into the mountains . He met strong Marquise creatures, but he was able to run away with the rabbit shoes . Overall, the venture wasn’t too dangerous .

“What is this?” As Han Sen treaded along a path, he spied the presence of a strange mountain .
The weather on Planet Eclipse wasn’t great . There was no grass growing, and so all the mountains were barren and rocky .
The mountain in front of him was very green, though . Trees were growing all over it . There were flowers, and some of the plants even possessed fruit .
There were birds and insects on this mountain . They were far away, but Han Sen could feel their lifeforce .
“Planet Eclipse has a mountain like this?” Han Sen thought it was weird . He examined the surrounding area and realized that it was the only mountain like this in the region .
Han Sen carefully approached it . There had to be a reason why it was so luscious . Perhaps there was a treasure or something; that thought prompted Han Sen to have a look around .
Han Sen trekked to the mountain . While he noticed that there were a large collection of lifeforces coming from the mountain, he could tell that the birds and the trees were completely normal . There didn’t seem to be any xenogeneics, either .
“Weird . Xenogeneic plants are difficult to grow on this planet, and even xenogeneic creatures often have trouble surviving . And yet, how are these all alive? Especially since they seem so ordinary . ” Han Sen was quite curious about this anomaly .
Han Sen kept walking up the mountain, and the foliage was just as lovely as it had appeared from a distance . Normal plants and creatures were spread out all across the mountain, as if the entire mountain had been transplanted to Planet Eclipse .

After an hour, Han Sen was able to reach the peak . He was quite shocked by the view he now saw, though .
Atop the mountain, amidst a small grove of trees, there was an emerald field . A wooden house stood there, and it looked very old .
“Is anyone there?” Han Sen called out to the occupied house . He thought it was a strange thing to find, and so he thought to himself, “Who could build a house in a place like this?”
Han Sen shouted again, but he received no response . So, he walked to the house because the windows were open . He wanted to take a look at what was inside from there .
The decorations of the interior were simple and rustic . They were all comprised of wood, and the primary features were a table and bed . Even the teapot and the plates were made of wood . It looked as if the people there used wood to build everything .
The wood was not big, though . You could see it all in one eye . There was a room at the back of the house, too, but you could not see it from outside .
“Is anyone in here?” Han Sen asked . He received no response . So, he pushed open the door and it swung forward . A lock hadn’t been fixed on it .
Han Sen walked inside and poked around . There didn’t seem to be anything worth examining, so he decided to check out the back room .
Han Sen opened the door and froze . All of a sudden, he found a person standing next to the bed . They were facing Han Sen with their eyes open .

“I am sorry . I called from the outside, and I believed this place was empty . ” Han Sen explained, but his words were met with awkward silence . Something was giving him pause .
That was because the person next to the bed was a man: a human .
The man stood where he was and did not move . He didn’t even look at Han Sen .
“Excuse me…” Han Sen looked at the man and spoke carefully . He wanted to know what he was, and why there might be a human there .
But Han Sen did not know for sure that the man was a human . He could have been a crystallizer, forgotten long ago .
Han Sen asked him a few questions, and each time he received no response . Han Sen would have thought the man was dead if not for his lifeforce .
“My name is Han Sen . What is yours?”
When Han Sen said that, the man suddenly moved . He put a finger in front of his lips, like a gesture to indicate he should be quiet . The man did not appear hostile, and that brought Han Sen much relief . He stopped talking and just watched the man .
The man continued standing there for a whole hour, without saying as much as a single word . He looked more like a statue than a living being .
“Is he practicing, maybe? Hmm, but it doesn’t look like it . ” Han Sen felt very confused, but also very curious . He sat on a chair to watch the man and see what he’d do .
But ten hours went by, and still, the man did not budge .
“Friend, can we talk?” Han Sen could not wait any longer .
“Ssh!” The man gestured for silence again .
Han Sen’s heart sank . He hadn’t a clue what he was doing . He couldn’t ask anything, as the man kept hushing him .
Han Sen looked around the room and noticed that it was all rustic, just like the rest of the house . Han Sen looked at a table and found something that was actually not made of wood . There was paper, alongside a stack of books .
“Friend, can I check this out?” Han Sen walked before the table and glanced over the books . There was a diary with many words scrawled on it .
But Han Sen didn’t begin reading immediately . He still wanted to ask the man for permission .
The man looked very nervous, and he performed the ssh gesture again .
“If you don’t object, then I’ll assume you are agreeing . ” Han Sen went ahead to read the contents of the diary .
