An Yun was not here. Not even the people from the other four forces, nor those four elders, could Lin Yun see.
“Could it be that only those holding the golden key can be teleported here?” Lin Yun murmured.
At that time, only the five holding the golden keys were enveloped by those five rays of light, so it was very likely the case.
But Lin Yun also did not see the other four elders holding golden keys.
So, there was only one possibility.
The other four elders should also have been teleported here, just not sent to the same place. Instead, they were sent to different locations.
“It seems different from my initial guess.” Lin Yun thought.
Lin Yun had initially thought that activating the five golden keys simultaneously would open the entrance to some ruins or cave mansion. Everyone present should be able to enter, but those holding the golden keys would have more benefits.
Now, it seemed that the holders of the golden keys were directly sent here.
“I wonder what this place is exactly.”
Out of curiosity, Lin Yun released his divine sense to probe.
“Hmm? There is a lake?”
After probing for just a moment, Lin Yun discovered a lake with an extremely large surface area several thousand li away.
That lake seemed somewhat special…
So, Lin Yun erupted with speed. He turned into an afterimage and headed straight for that lake, wanting to investigate it.
…
On the other side.
After the Nether Palace elder led his people away.
“Does that little bastard really think our Nether Palace is easy to bully?” The Nether Palace elder was furious. His eyes were bloodshot.
Today, not only had he lost face, but he also lost a true holy artefact. Moreover, he failed to seize the golden key. How could the Nether Palace elder swallow this?
His Nether Palace had such great prestige among the human race. The other party knew he was from the Nether Palace yet still dared to rob the golden key. This was contempt for his Nether Palace!
“No matter who this child is, he will pay the price for provoking the Nether Palace!”
After the Nether Palace elder’s words fell, he quickly sent a message to the Nether Palace, requesting that strong experts be dispatched.
…
On the other side.
With Lin Yun’s speed, he arrived at the huge lake in mere moments.
“This lake water seems to contain extremely powerful energy.” Lin Yun could clearly feel the special nature of the lake water.
Then, Lin Yun looked up.
The God-Slaying Sect elder had actually already immersed himself in the lake, frantically absorbing the energy within.
“He arrived quite fast.” Lin Yun murmured.
The next moment, Lin Yun also quickly leaped into the lake.
After entering the water, Lin Yun even more clearly felt that the energy in this lake water was much more refined than the energy in Haoyue crystal stones!
However, Lin Yun’s current realm had already reached the third level of the Tongtian Realm and was at a bottleneck, so he could not absorb it to elevate his realm.
But such pure energy could not be wasted just like this.
“Right, use it to irrigate the Source Tree seed!” Lin Yun had a flash of inspiration.
The Source Tree seed could absorb the energy from Haoyue crystal stones to grow. This lake water’s energy was even purer than that of Haoyue crystal stones, so logically, it should definitely work, right?
Although the Source Tree seed could grow slowly within his body.
Previously, Lin Yun had cultivated for over a thousand years inside the One Thought Clear Heart Tower. The Source Tree seed had been growing all along, and now the seed had already sprouted.
But at the current rate, to wait for it to fully mature inside his body would likely take at least tens of thousands of years, or even longer.
If Lin Yun wanted to accelerate it, he could only invest massive amounts of Haoyue crystal stones for it to absorb.
If he could now absorb this lake water, that would save Lin Yun a sea of Haoyue crystal stones!
If the Source Tree could mature earlier, Lin Yun could learn its special properties sooner.
Thinking of this, Lin Yun immediately absorbed the energy from the water and directed it towards the Source Tree seed in his dantian sea.
“It really works!”
After Lin Yun directed the energy towards the Source Tree seed, this energy was immediately absorbed by the Source Tree seed.
Moreover, the Source Tree seed had a huge appetite. The energy directed towards it was absorbed in an instant.
So, Lin Yun went all out and began absorbing frantically!
At this time, the Dual Venerable Pavilion elder, the White Mist Tower elder, and the Heavenly Fire God Hall elder also arrived one after another.
After discovering the special nature of the lake water, they too immediately leaped into the lake and began absorbing with full force.
“Haha, the purity of the energy in this lake water is very high!”
After the three elders tried absorbing it, they were also overjoyed.
