“What a peculiar sensation!” Lin Yun sensed the changes in his dantian inner force.
The combination of his inner force with the energy released by the Source Tree, did that mean his inner force would become even more powerful?
Lin Yun felt this was highly likely.
Buzz buzz buzz!
At that moment, Lin Yun suddenly noticed that the palm-sized black object in his storage ring began to tremble violently.
“What is going on?”
Lin Yun flipped his hand and brought out the palm-sized black item. It resembled a turtle shell.
This was something he had obtained from an ambusher back when he was still in the Heavenly Fire Divine Palace. After Lin Yun killed the attacker, he took it from the body.
When Lin Yun first acquired this black object, he already felt it was no ordinary item.
However, its surface was badly damaged.
In the past, Lin Yun had tried injecting inner force to repair its cracks. It could indeed absorb inner force, but after several attempts that cost him considerable time with little result, he had set it aside.
The moment Lin Yun held this turtle-shell-like black object in his hand, he clearly felt the Source Tree in his dantian resonate with it.
Without Lin Yun actively doing anything, a stream of energy was released from the Source Tree. It flowed directly along his body into his arm, then surged into the palm holding the black object.
In the next instant, the originally extremely hard black turtle-shell item instantly disintegrated into countless black specks that merged into Lin Yun’s palm.
The countless black specks that entered his palm were enveloped by that energy. They swiftly returned to the dantian and finally surged towards the Source Tree.
“Could it be… this broken black item is connected to the Source Tree?” Lin Yun exclaimed in shock.
When the turtle-shell-like black item reached the Source Tree, the countless black specks directly merged into it.
“The Source Tree seems to be repairing it!” Lin Yun could sense this clearly.
Lin Yun was very eager to know what would happen once the Source Tree finished repairing it, and what function this thing actually had.
One day later, the Source Tree completed the restoration.
The countless black specks gathered on one of the branches of the Source Tree, completely fusing with that branch and becoming embedded in it.
Immediately afterwards, that branch rapidly grew and extended, becoming extraordinarily lush and flourishing.
The Source Tree had a main trunk with a total of five branches extending from it.
Now this particular branch stood in stark contrast to the other four, far more luxuriant.
As this branch grew and thrived, the energy released by the Source Tree also seemed to strengthen.
Moreover, once the branch had extended, Lin Yun clearly felt that the black turtle shell embedded in it could now connect with him.
“This… what on earth is happening!”
Even Lin Yun was stunned.
He had never expected that, after the Source Tree matured, so many unexpected events would occur.
“Let me try!”
Lin Yun attempted to activate the black turtle shell on the branch.
The turtle shell instantly flashed with light while releasing a powerful fluctuation that passed through his dantian and transmitted to Lin Yun.
Lin Yun felt his entire body become remarkably lighter.
“I need to go outside and test it!”
Lin Yun immediately left the One Thought Enlightenment Tower, returned to the main hall, then walked straight out of the hall.
After exiting the hall, he flew directly along the passage at the end of the square towards the outside of the mountain.
Once he flew out of the mountain, Lin Yun unleashed his speed and soared through the sky.
The black turtle fragment in the Source Tree within his dantian continuously emitted light.
Lin Yun’s flying speed suddenly surged.
“Haha, my speed has increased a lot!”
Lin Yun could clearly feel that, after activating the black turtle fragment on the Source Tree branch, his movement speed experienced a dramatic boost.
Previously, when Lin Yun stepped into the Void Dao Realm and left the Land of Fall, he had tested pushing his speed to the absolute limit. He knew exactly what the top speed of the Dao Moulding Realm was.
His current speed showed a very noticeable improvement.
And this was only the effect of the black turtle fragment, not the inherent effect of the Source Tree itself.
The inherent effect of the Source Tree was to release a special energy brimming with vitality that enhanced his inner force. The black turtle fragment provided an additional effect on top.
In mid-air.
After flying at extreme speed for a while, Lin Yun stopped and hovered at an altitude of ten thousand metres.
“The Source Tree has five branches. Now only one branch has fused with the black turtle shell. Does that mean the other four branches also need to fuse with corresponding turtle shells?” Lin Yun speculated.
