As everyone continued their ascent, the houses scattered around them became fewer, and the branches and vines sparser, yet the Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi of the surroundings remained incredibly dense.
Everyone followed a winding path upwards, climbing along the tree vines and branches. They rarely encountered members of the Divine Tree Clan, but they could occasionally sense waves of mana fluctuations from beneath some shaded areas, seemingly indications of someone cultivating.
It was only when they halted their steps that Shen Luo realized they had reached the highest point of the forest.
Here, entwined vines formed a platform about a dozen feet in radius, and at the center of the platform stood a small sapling, about three to four feet high, rising into high altitude.
Shen Luo walked to the edge of the platform and looked out into the distance, seeing a vast and unrestricted landscape touched by the lofty winds from the sky.
