The Source Heart in Lin Yun’s hand sensed the summons from the Source Tree within his body. It instantly dissolved into countless black specks, flowed into his palm, surged through his body to the Supreme Sea, and finally gathered on the Source Tree there.
Once the Source Heart merged, the fourth branch of the Source Tree began to grow and extend at an astonishing speed.
Every fusion of a Source Heart brought growth and strengthening to the Source Tree.
This time was no different.
The stronger the Source Tree became, the greater the vital energy it released, and the better it reinforced Lin Yun’s internal force.
A stronger Source Tree also amplified the effects released by the Source Hearts.
Lin Yun savoured the changes in the Source Tree and relished the sensation.
After a while, the activity within his body quieted down.
The fourth branch of the Source Tree had fully grown.
“Now only the final branch remains. If I obtain the Source Heart from the Dual Supreme Pavilion, all five Source Hearts will be gathered,” Lin Yun murmured.
He looked forward eagerly to the changes and effects that would follow the fusion of all five.
“Yet obtaining the one in the Dual Supreme Pavilion will not be easy,” Lin Yun said with a sigh.
The good news was that the location of the last Source Heart was known. The bad news was that acquiring it would be extremely difficult.
Now that Lin Yun understood the full situation, the challenge felt even greater. The Dual Supreme Pavilion belonged to the Dao Alliance, and the Dao Alliance had ties to the Heavenly Dao.
After the Chaos City incident, Lin Yun was certain the Heavenly Dao had taken notice of him.
He could only set the matter aside for now. He was still merely an Initial Supreme, far from reaching Yuan Supreme.
Emerging from the hidden chamber,
“Right, let me test the effect of this Source Heart.”
Filled with anticipation, Lin Yun activated the fourth Source Heart.
As its fluctuations spread, fierce winds suddenly whipped up around him.
The heavenly power and sun-moon essence in the surrounding space were instantly drawn in by the Source Heart.
In mere moments, it absorbed every trace of heavenly power within a hundred miles, leaving nothing behind.
The absorbed heavenly power was then transformed by the Source Heart into a peculiar energy that flowed into the Supreme Sea within his body.
“This converted energy seems to offer considerable help for advancing my realm.”
“This Source Heart appears to be meant for cultivation,” Lin Yun exclaimed in surprise.
He quickly realised that the Source Heart took in energy and converted it into a refined, unique, and powerful form.
This converted energy could directly fuel cultivation in the Supreme realm.
Joy surged through Lin Yun.
From his earlier conversation with Flying Shadow Golden Lord and Destruction Golden Lord, he had learned that Supreme realm cultivation usually relied on slow accumulation over time.
Resources like Haoyue Crystal Stones were wholly inadequate for Supreme cultivation.
Yet this newly acquired Source Heart could convert energy to aid cultivation.
“Still, the amount it just produced is truly meagre,” Lin Yun sighed.
It had absorbed all the heavenly power and sun-moon essence within a hundred miles, yet yielded only the equivalent of a single drop of water.
Compared to the vast Supreme Sea, that was the difference between an ocean and one drop.
Though the heavenly power and sun-moon essence in this world’s space were not abundant, the conversion ratio still seemed excessively low.
But it also proved that concentration yielded essence.
“Even if it drained every bit of heavenly power from this world, the benefit would still be negligible,” Lin Yun thought with an inward sigh.
“Wait, since it can convert heavenly power, could it also convert Haoyue Crystal Stones?” His eyes brightened at the idea.
Acting on the thought, Lin Yun waved his hand and summoned fifty thousand Haoyue Crystal Stones, piling them before him.
He placed his hand on the pile and guided the Source Heart within him to draw in the internal force contained in the crystals.
A low hum sounded.
Once activated, the Source Heart indeed began to absorb and devour the energy from the Haoyue Crystal Stones.
The devoured energy passed through the Source Heart, transformed into pure and extraordinary energy, and merged into it.
