The further Lin Yu went, the more strange stones he found.
This time, Lin Yu saw some stones that emitted a special light. The original color of the light was a pale yellow, but the light emanating from them looked like seven colors combined together.
Lin Yu had never seen this strange phenomenon before.
As Lin Yu walked along the path into the cave, he used his short sword to pry open the strange stones. As the colors of the stones increased, the number of stones in Lin Yu's storage space also gradually increased.
Lin Yu believed that this stone contained two different energies than the previous stones, otherwise it wouldn't have shimmered with different lights.
"Take it back and study it carefully; maybe we can discover some accidental suffocation," Lin Yu thought to himself.
These things are from the Dao Qi era, things that most cultivators in the Three Thousand Immortal Realms cannot access. Not to mention ancient books, not even a single legend has been left behind.
This greatly helped Lin Yu in his research into the secrets of this fantasy world.
Lin Yu continued walking along the path into the cave, which was clearly a huge, naturally formed cave system, with one cave inside another.
"I wonder how such a large cave was preserved during the cataclysmic disaster," Lin Yu thought to himself.
Because they were naturally formed caves, the layout of each cave was roughly the same. Suddenly, Lin Yu smelled a sweet fragrance.
"Hmm?!" Lin Yu raised an eyebrow and walked towards the source of the fragrance.
Unexpectedly, the cave, which I thought was full of rocks, turned out to be a hidden world, with a huge jujube tree standing inside.
The jujube tree rose up from the ground, its width enough for several people to encircle.
Judging from that big laugh, this jujube tree has been here for at least a thousand years.
This cave should only be made of stone, but there is such a huge jujube tree in front of us.
Lin Yu was filled with curiosity. Was this jujube tree planted here intentionally, or did a seed fall into this cave by chance for some unknown reason, and this is what it looks like after it took root and sprouted?
Given the cave's unique structure, it's highly unlikely that the wind carried the jujube seeds inside; therefore, someone must have deliberately placed them there.
"Whether it was intentional or an unintended consequence remains to be seen," Lin Yu thought to himself.
The jujube tree was huge and lush, with abundant branches and plentiful fruit. The jujubes were bright red and looked incredibly tempting.
Perhaps because there was no external disturbance and the spiritual energy was abundant, these dates grew exceptionally well. The fragrance that Lin Yu first smelled was emanating from these dates.
However, Lin Yu felt something was strange. The climate inside the cave was completely different from the desert above. How did this jujube tree survive?
Moreover, the cave contained extremely special stones that could absorb spiritual energy.
Previously, He Buxian's spiritual energy was depleted, and even his life force was almost absorbed.
This jujube tree may not possess spiritual power, but it must have life force. How is it that such a thing can stand safely in the cave without having its life force absorbed?
Lin Yu walked towards the jujube tree with questions in mind. When he got closer, he discovered that there was a small stream next to the jujube tree.
However, compared to the water flow outside, this stream looked extremely small, as if it existed in a crevice.
However, the stream was crystal clear and seemed full of energy. From the current situation, it is not difficult to conclude that this stream has nourished the jujube tree and sustained it for so long.
Therefore, this small cave is full of life.
Because they are undisturbed by outsiders, both the jujube trees and the streams are well preserved.
After all, the tunnel before the cave was designed to ensure that not every cultivator had the ability to land in this area.
After everything that just happened, Lin Yu dared to say that, based on that long period of pressure and squeeze, there was currently no one else in the world besides him who could easily enter this world.
"The Creator is truly amazing. Without this stream, I'm afraid this jujube tree would never have grown up," Lin Yu thought to himself.
The jujubes on the tree were bright red, with a vibrant sheen on their skin. They were clearly nourished by the stream, which is why they were so juicy and sweet.
It seems that even in caves, the growth of all things follows certain rules and patterns.
Therefore, even though there is only rock and no soil in this cave, the jujube tree can still get nutrients and continue to grow.
Because of the cave's unique shape, Lin Yu could clearly see every root of the jujube tree. Unlike ordinary trees, its roots seemed thicker and more robust.
Lin Yu couldn't resist and reached out to pick a few bright red dates.
He then examined the dates carefully in his palm and quickly noticed that they were heavy. Although they looked like normal dates, upon closer inspection, he found that they were larger and heavier than normal fruits.
Lin Yu hesitated for a moment, then put the jujube in his mouth and chewed it, wanting to taste its flavor.
After all, there's also the possibility that these dates only look vibrant and juicy on the outside, but are actually sour and unpalatable inside.
The fact that this tree shows no signs of nutrition or spiritual energy indicates that it was still affected by the ten pieces that absorb spiritual energy.
However, as soon as Lin Yu put the jujube in his mouth, he felt a fragrance rush into his mouth and nose. With a gentle bite, the skin of the jujube broke open, and a sweet, watery taste flowed into Lin Yu's mouth.
Aside from being sweeter, these dates look no different from other fruits.
For some reason, Lin Yu even felt somewhat disappointed.
After all, he had originally guessed that these dates were just good-looking but actually sour inside, presenting two extremes, but now, the facts were the opposite of Lin Yu's guess.
Upon closer inspection, this jujube actually tastes just like a jujube.
"Could this really just be an ordinary jujube tree that happened to grow here? Apart from that, I really can't see anything special about it," Lin Yu thought to himself with a strange feeling.
Soon, Lin Yu discovered a strange phenomenon.
This enormous jujube tree is even divided into two sides!
