Wonderful Reaction

But Lucky quickly calmed down again.

The Hunter World was vast, and the anime's perspective had always been focused on the "protagonists."

Though it contained many adventures, much of the Hunter World had never been shown. Leaving aside the Dark Continent, even the human world that was already known still held many unsolved mysteries.

For example, there were countless ancient ruins and ancient kingdoms.

There were also many enormous creatures. Not to mention the large group of creatures raised by the Zoldyck Family, even the gigantic creature Ging had ridden during one appearance in the anime was enough to make people want to investigate.

And now that a tree capable of helping people awaken Nen had appeared here, it did not seem all that strange.

Even a Sonata of Darkness could kill people and awaken powerful Nen in them. Compared to that, this one was rather "weak."

At that moment, Tina also came ashore.

She began introducing it to Lucky. "This is the Divine Tree of our Green Spirit Tribe. I also call it Lord God."

"You can see Lord God, so you must have Green Spirit Tribe blood in you."

"You're that certain? Do you really need Green Spirit Tribe blood to see it?" Lucky did not quite believe her.

He felt that his ability to see it was probably related to his Sharingan.

The Sharingan itself could see through illusions, though there were very few people in this world who used illusion-based abilities.

He had not expected the first thing he encountered with such an ability to be a tree.

"Of course. Even Chairman Netero cannot see it. Of course, being unable to see it does not mean one cannot enter," Tina said with certainty.

Lucky did not dwell on the matter.

Instead, he asked about the Green Spirit Tribe and this Divine Tree.

Perhaps because they shared the same bloodline, Tina did not mind sharing. Beneath the tree, she began chatting at length with Lucky.

She told him stories she had heard before.

"You asked me earlier why I wanted to break the peace here. Actually, this place has never been peaceful."

Every so often, explorers would appear here.

It might be a moving oasis, but anyone determined enough could still find it.

The Hunter Association would also take an interest in this simplest of Secret Realms and come here, trying all sorts of methods to enter the island.

Some succeeded, while others naturally failed.

Was she not worried that the Divine Tree would be affected?

Tina noticed the look in Lucky's eyes as well.

"Other than Lord God being somewhat unusual, there is nothing else here."

Lucky did not agree.

"Wouldn't anyone be interested in an oasis that can move through the desert?"

And this Oak Tree could help people awaken Nen.

Of course, perhaps that effect had yet to be discovered. If not for his precise control over his body, he would never have sensed it.

"The oasis's ability to move through the desert, as well as this small patch of oasis itself, are naturally all due to Lord God. This is Lord God's unique ability."

"Of course, some have said that our Green Spirit Tribe ancestors may once have used a special Nen Ability to cultivate Lord God, or that Lord God was the manifestation of some ancestor's Nen Ability."

Such a simple Secret Realm would certainly have been studied.

It had even been studied very thoroughly.

The known age of this Oak Tree already exceeded two thousand years.

Hunters who seriously studied this place would, after completing their research,

come to understand the Oasis of God.

Other than protecting a patch of land, it truly had little value.

As for its spatial movement ability, it was too slow and too ineffective. Similar abilities could be achieved through Divine Script abilities, and even done better.

Moreover, not every Hunter enjoyed researching such things. Most people became Hunters because they wanted to become Bounty Hunters.

"Cultivated with a Nen Ability, or some kind of Nen Ability itself!"

The first possibility needed no explanation, but the latter was rather unusual.

Sometimes, after a Nen user died, their ability did not necessarily disappear, especially abilities that created things.

It could remain in the world because of a powerful obsession.

Lucky could not determine which of the two it was.

"You asked earlier why the creatures in the desert do not attack me. Now I can tell you." Tina took out a necklace from around her neck.

Calling it a necklace was generous. It was simply a string with an Acorn tied to it.

Lucky raised his head to look at the Acorns on the Oak Tree.

"Lord God's Acorns have a special ability. As long as you carry one, you will not be attacked by creatures in the desert. Of course, that only applies within the Vita Desert. It has no effect anywhere else."

"Has no one discovered that it can help people awaken Nen?"

Lucky wanted to know whether this examiner knew the Oak Tree's true value.

Tina froze. Then Nen appeared around her body, only to be quickly withdrawn.

"How did you discover that?" Tina's expression was no longer as relaxed as before.

This secret truly could not be casually revealed. Other than herself, no one else knew about it. Yet Lucky not only knew, he had said it aloud.

Even she had only learned that Lord God possessed this ability after frequently coming here and gradually sensing the existence of aura.

Tina had not learned Nen after becoming a Hunter. She had become a Hunter only after learning Nen here.

Of course, it was only after becoming a Hunter that she learned what this power truly was.

"I felt it when I approached." As Lucky spoke, he thought of something.

Since this tree possessed a hint of "mythical" quality,

then perhaps—

A mass of Nen began to gather, and Tina immediately became wary, thinking Lucky was about to make a move.

"Chirp, chirp!" Phoenix appeared. The moment it emerged, it began pecking Lucky's head.

It was expressing its dissatisfaction at Lucky for not letting it out.

"Phoenix, stop pecking. I know I was wrong." Lucky immediately apologized.

Phoenix stopped as well.

Then it seemed to sense something.

Phoenix began to cry out, flying around the Oak Tree with a surge of joy.

"Is this your Nen Beast?" Tina asked.

Lucky nodded. "Its name is Phoenix."

Phoenix flew onto the Oak Tree, pecked open an Acorn and ate it, then revealed a delighted expression.

A wave of aura surged from its body. It was Lucky's aura, but also Phoenix's aura.

It was crimson aura, like flames.

The aura flowing from the Oak Tree grew denser as well.

"What is happening?" Tina had never seen such a change before.

Phoenix also sensed the Oak Tree's aura.

It cried out even more happily, its call echoing throughout the entire oasis.

The birds within the oasis all took flight.

From every corner of the oasis, they carried different branches and materials in their beaks as they flew toward the center of the lake.

It resembled a gathering of birds paying homage to the phoenix.

But Lucky felt that was not what it was.

Phoenix began moving as well, circling the Oak Tree in flight and biting off various branches.

Lucky watched Tina's expression.

After all, this was her Divine Tree. She might very well become angry at such behavior.
