Chapter 2460: The Same Stone Mountain
Han Sen looked at the woman, his expression carefully veiled . He wanted to know, but the woman obviously wanted something in return . He would need to know what she wanted before he agreed to some sort of bargain .
The woman smiled at him . “I will tell you, but you will have to help me with something first . Do it, and I will explain everything . ”
“You are so strong . If there’s something that you can’t do yourself, how will I be able to accomplish it?” Han Sen asked hesitantly .
The woman smiled and said, “Don’t worry; the task isn’t dangerous . I simply can’t leave this island, so I need your help to get it done . ”
Han Sen remained silent, but he didn’t think this would be a trivial task .
The woman paused, then pointed in a particular direction . “Once you leave this island, keep going that way . Before long, you will see some light . You must follow that light . Then, you will find an island that is identical to this one . That island doesn’t have a wooden house on it, though . You must go and cut off the top of that mountain, just like this . That is all you have to do . ”
“Is there a creature over there or something?” Han Sen asked .
The woman shook her head . “No, but you must remember one thing: once you see the light, you cannot speak . As long as you don’t talk, you should be fine . If you say anything, even if it is just a single word, you will be dead . ”
“What is the light?” Han Sen asked .
“I don’t know what it is, but it is still up to you if you want to go or not . I won’t force you to go if you don’t want to,” the woman said . Then, she turned away from Han Sen and carried on with her research .
“Can I see those geno arts?” Han Sen pointed to the books lined up on the shelves .

They were the best geno arts of all the races . Even if Han Sen didn’t practice them, it would be useful for him to be able to remember them all .
“If you are willing to go, you can read as much as you like . Okay, you can leave my house now,” the woman said, without raising her head .
Han Sen flew out the window, and he landed outside the yard . The woman was way too clean, and she had a serious case of OCD . If Han Sen wasn’t working for her, she would never agree to let him touch her things .
Han Sen decided to go to the place the woman had described to him .
The woman had nothing to gain by hiding any dangers in the task . If Han Sen died halfway through the task, then sending him would have been pointless .
“Even if it is dangerous, I can only suppose the danger will arise after completing the mission . ” Han Sen knew that the woman probably wanted him to free her from her prison . Han Sen turned and looked back through the window .
“I’m willing to go, but first, can you tell me what kind of test the Sacred Leader conducted?” Han Sen asked .
“I will tell you when you get back,” the woman’s voice responded from someplace inside the wooden house .
“I’m afraid that when I get back, you will not be here,” Han Sen said .
The woman went silent for a while, and Han Sen wasn’t sure what that meant . When he was just about to say something more, something flew out the window .

Han Sen caught the item, and he noticed it was a stone book . He tried to open it, but it seemed to have been sealed by some sort of power .
“Everything you need to know is within that book . When you have finished what I’ve asked you to do, the locks on that book will be removed . Now, it is again up to you to decide if you want to go or not,” the woman said .
Han Sen looked at the stone book . He wasn’t sure if what the woman was saying was true, but he was out of options . He had no choice but to believe her . Otherwise, he’d never know the truth .
“D*mn . ” Still holding the stone book, Han Sen gnashed his teeth and asked, “In the legends, Sacred had a xenogeneic space called the sanctuaries . Do you know that place?”
“That is the place Sacred Leader researched the immortal spirits . I’ve never been there myself, though . So, I don’t know,” the woman said .
The fact that the woman didn’t know about the sanctuaries was quite disappointing to Han Sen .
Han Sen wanted to know the answers to a few more questions, but the woman said, “I will not answer any more questions of yours if you aren’t going . ”
“You have to tell me what the light looks like,” Han Sen said .
“You will know it when you see it,” the woman said coldly .
Han Sen shrugged and then flew in the direction that the woman had told him to go .

As he was surrounded by the yellow clouds, there was a limit to how much Han Sen could see . So, he made use of his Dongxuan Area to try to detect nearby objects and energies .
There was nothing notable about the direction in which he was flying . As far as he could tell, there were just more clouds . One thing that might have been different from other places within the Tianxia System, however, was the distinct lack of xenogeneics .
Han Sen continued flying in the direction the woman had instructed him to go, and he didn’t deviate . And lo and behold, after three or four hours, he saw a light ahead .
The light was like the sun in the twilight hours . It was a deep red, and it looked like a big lantern on the horizon . Just as the woman said, he knew it when he saw it .
When Han Sen found the light, it was as if the light had found him, too . It flew over towards Han Sen, enveloping him in its glow .
Han Sen remembered what the woman said, and he didn’t make a peep .
The light spun around him for a while but eventually lost interest . A few minutes later, it flew away .
Han Sen felt some modicum of relief . He caught up to the light, though, and he followed it from behind .
The light was pretty slow, but it also drifted back and forth . It didn’t stick to a fixed trajectory or direction . It went left, right, forward, and back .
Han Sen was confused, but he still followed it .
Luckily, the wandering light didn’t seem to be leading him into danger . As he flew, he still didn’t notice any nearby xenogeneics .
After following the light for half a day, he suddenly saw a giant shadow ahead . When he peered at it a little more intently, he noticed that the shadow was actually another island . That made him happy .
When Han Sen got a bit closer, he noticed that the island was indeed the same as the woman’s island . Even all the plant life was identical .
The light went to the island and settled down upon the grass like it was sleeping .
Han Sen came down to the island, as well . As he came close, the heavy gravity dragged him down to the surface . He certainly couldn’t fly on this version of the island .
That mattered little to Han Sen, though . He walked towards the mountain at the island’s center, and it wasn’t long before he came before its foothills . There were some stone stairs carved into the familiar rocks, and so Han Sen walked all the way up them . There was no wooden house or garden on the small peak .
A weird black symbol was carved into the side of the peak . He couldn’t tell what it was .
Han Sen guessed that might have been the restriction of the island . If he destroyed it, then the woman might be freed .
