The Source Heart in his hand instantly dissolved into countless black specks that merged into Lin Yun’s palm.
The black specks flowed swiftly through his body to the Supreme Sea, then surged toward the Source Tree growing within it, finally gathering on one branch and fusing with it.
That branch began to extend and grow rapidly.
The entire Source Tree underwent a burst of growth as a result, becoming significantly stronger.
A more powerful Source Tree naturally provided even greater enhancement to Lin Yun’s inner force.
After a while, the commotion within the Source Tree finally subsided.
Now, three of its five branches had fully developed, leaving only two still dormant.
“I wonder what ability this Source Heart grants,” Lin Yun said, clearly intrigued.
Driven by curiosity, he activated the third Source Heart.
Once activated, Lin Yun felt the fluctuations it released make his whole body turn illusory.
“Lin Yun!”
Zi Tong, sitting beside him, suddenly saw Lin Yun vanish completely.
She was startled and immediately extended her divine sense, but detected no trace of him.
“Lin Yun, how did you just disappear? Where are you? Don’t frighten me like this!” Zi Tong stood up quickly, looking around in tense worry.
How could Lin Yun simply vanish into thin air?
“Zi Tong, I’m right here,” Lin Yun’s voice replied.
The next instant, he reappeared in his seat, as though materialising from nothing.
“How… how is this possible?” Zi Tong covered her mouth, staring at him in utter disbelief.
It was utterly bizarre. Even her divine sense had failed to locate him. He had disappeared and reappeared out of nowhere. It defied comprehension.
“It’s the effect of that Source Heart. I never expected it would let me completely conceal myself,” Lin Yun said in amazement.
The ability was simply too powerful.
Lin Yun had never imagined that the third Source Heart would grant him the power to slip into the void.
Though it did not directly boost his strength and was instead functional, it filled him with exhilaration.
Whether for stealthy infiltration, escape, or concealment, it would prove immensely useful.
“It’s that powerful? No wonder you valued it so highly,” Zi Tong said, equally astonished. Did such a wondrous object truly exist?
After fusing the Source Heart, Lin Yun examined the other items.
Inside the storage ring he found a volume titled Star God Canon.
“Zi Tong, this is the same as the one you gave me, isn’t it?” Lin Yun asked as he took it out.
“Yes, but the copy I gave you was only the upper volume. This is the complete Star God Canon. I gave you that one secretly at the time, so you must never let Grandfather or the others know,” Zi Tong replied.
“I understand. Since this one has been given to me openly now, I can simply say in future that I began cultivating from this version,” Lin Yun said with a smile.
The Star God Canon was divided into upper and lower volumes.
The upper volume was available to all royal family members of the elf clan for study and practice.
The lower volume, however, was granted only to the rare geniuses personally favoured by the clan leader.
Previously, Lin Yun had possessed only the upper volume.
Now he had obtained the full Star God Canon, including the lower volume, and he was naturally delighted.
Of course, the lower volume’s cultivation difficulty was undoubtedly extreme.
Besides that, the storage ring contained numerous precious heavenly treasures to aid divine sense cultivation. Lin Yun counted more than a dozen kinds, such as God-Asking Mushroom and similar rarities that were normally almost impossible to acquire. They would undoubtedly provide substantial help to his divine sense training.
The rapid growth of direct royal descendants like Zi Tong and the sixth prince owed much to such abundant resources.
Even the greatest genius required sufficient resources to advance quickly.
In cultivation, no matter the realm, resources were always vital.
To receive over a dozen such valuable divine sense cultivation treasures at once was truly a lavish gift.
“By the way, Zi Tong, what exactly does the Spirit Spring Baptism do?” Lin Yun asked curiously.
“The Spirit Spring Baptism greatly expands and develops your sea of consciousness, offering enormous benefits for future divine sense cultivation. Even among direct royal descendants, only the most exceptional geniuses are granted it,” Zi Tong explained.
