However, obtaining the second wooden box only after Lin Yun steps into the Supreme Realm still feels extremely distant to him.
Still, one must act according to one’s current strength. Since the former Palace Lord of Wuji Heavenly Palace made such an arrangement, there must have been a profound reason for it.
Before reaching the Supreme Realm, the most important thing is undoubtedly cultivation and raising one’s own power, rather than probing the great secrets hidden behind the Ancestral Land.
Only with sufficient strength can one safely touch those secrets.
With that thought, Lin Yun turned his attention to the letter in his hand.
The letter explained how to use the Seed of the Origin Tree. He needed to swallow it, and the Origin Tree would then grow inside his body. This growth process would be very lengthy.
It also stated that the true function of the Origin Tree was recorded in the second wooden box and was connected to the secret kept there.
This letter only taught Lin Yun how to plant the seed so the Origin Tree could begin growing within him ahead of time.
By the time Lin Yun became able to open the second wooden box, the Origin Tree would surely have matured inside his body, allowing him to use it immediately.
If the seed were only given to him when he opened the second box, the tree would still require an extremely long period to grow, meaning he could not use it right away and would have to wait.
“Young Master, the items in this first wooden box appear exceptionally valuable, but I dare say the most precious among them is actually the Seed of the Origin Tree itself! Although I do not know exactly what it does, I am certain its significance is immense!” Zou Dongsheng declared.
“Mm, I understand,” Lin Yun nodded.
Following the instructions in the letter, Lin Yun once again dripped his blood onto the Seed of the Origin Tree.
He decided to plant the seed inside his body first.
Hum!
The moment his blood touched it, the cyan seed once more burst into brilliant light.
While the light shone, Lin Yun swiftly swallowed it.
After entering his body, the seed was instantly drawn by a suction force from his vast dantian sea and pulled inside.
Once within the dantian sea, the cyan seed quietly settled there.
Yet Lin Yun could faintly sense it slowly absorbing his inner energy to nourish itself.
The amount it took was not large. With the natural recovery speed of Lin Yun’s inner energy, he could fully compensate for it.
In other words, although it used his inner energy as nourishment, its absorption rate was slower than his body’s recovery rate.
Lin Yun could completely ignore it. It would have no substantial negative impact on him.
He could simply let it grow slowly inside his body.
As for how long it would take to sprout or fully mature, Lin Yun had no idea, but he was certain it would be an extremely long process.
He also had no clue yet about its actual function.
“Since it absorbs my inner energy as nourishment, Bright Moon Crystal Stones should work as nourishment too, right?” Lin Yun guessed.
Acting on that thought, he immediately took a hundred Bright Moon Crystal Stones and swallowed them, wanting to test it.
Once the crystal stones entered his body, Lin Yun deliberately directed their energy toward the seed.
“It can indeed absorb them, but there doesn’t seem to be any obvious reaction,” Lin Yun muttered to himself.
Since it could absorb the crystal stones, they could clearly be used to feed it. The lack of effect simply meant a hundred stones were not even enough to make a dent.
“Let’s try again.”
This time, Lin Yun directly absorbed a million Bright Moon Crystal Stones.
Now the seed showed a slight response. It swelled almost imperceptibly.
Judging by this change, if he relied solely on Bright Moon Crystal Stones to nurture it, just making the seed sprout would probably require hundreds of millions of stones.
Lin Yun stopped feeding it any more crystal stones.
“By the way, Zou Dongsheng, when can I receive the inheritance of Wuji Heavenly Palace? Especially the special method for cultivating the physical body,” Lin Yun looked up, his face filled with anticipation as he gazed at Zou Dongsheng.
The special body-tempering method of Wuji Heavenly Palace was one of the things Lin Yun was most eager for.
“Young Master, it seems you cannot wait any longer. In that case, I shall pass the inheritance to you right now. Please follow me back to the main hall.”
With that, Zou Dongsheng headed toward the nearby grand hall.
Lin Yun quickly followed.
