Lin Yu sat cross-legged in a corner of the cave, feeling his spiritual energy, which had just been suppressed, erupt again.
The Hongmeng System immediately added a series of protection tokens to Lin Yu's body. After detecting the appearance of the unknown creature, the system provided Lin Yu with an additional layer of protection.
At this moment, due to the changes in the spiritual energy around him, Lin Yu was completely immersed in cultivation. Because of the system's protection and the fact that no one had any preconceived notions about this cave, Lin Yu did not sense any changes in the outside world.
In this situation, Lin Yu is actually in some danger.
Perhaps it was because he had eaten too many dates, but Lin Yu felt that the spiritual energy within his body was like a fountain, sometimes quiet and sometimes gushing.
The abundant power kept spraying outwards, almost overwhelming Lin Yu.
At the same time, Lin Yu also discovered that the power of the Origin Technique within his body was increasing at a rapid pace.
This rapid increase in spiritual power was giving Lin Yu a headache. After all, the speed at which his spiritual power was growing was too fast, and his body and meridians might not be able to handle it. If he wasn't careful, he might explode and die.
At the same time, Lin Yu remembered something: since the jujube tree had a front and a back, one side faced the stream and the other side faced away from the stream.
The dates facing the stream are sweet and delicious, and can also help cultivators increase their spiritual power. The dates facing away from the stream, although shiny and tempting, are just ordinary dates.
Compared to the most ordinary jujube tree, does this mean it has a sunny side and a side facing away from the sun?
Outside, the sun is the most basic source of energy for an ordinary jujube tree, but here, the stream is the most fundamental source of energy for this jujube tree.
Lin Yu wondered, if the fruit facing the stream could continuously increase a cultivator's internal power, would the fruit facing away from the stream have the effect of inhibiting internal energy?
Upon reflection, Lin Yu realized that he had initially felt his energy being suppressed, but the feeling only lasted for a moment, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
Looking back now, it's highly likely that when Lin Yu first ate the dates, he ate more of the front-side dates than the back-side dates, so his spiritual power increased faster than it was suppressed.
"If these jujubes really have the effect of causing an uncontrolled increase in spiritual energy within the body, then not only me, but even the jujube tree itself would not be able to withstand such a massive amount of spiritual energy."
Lin Yu thought of that sturdy jujube tree.
It was quite remarkable that the jujube tree could maintain its original appearance under such immense spiritual power. No matter how Lin Yu thought about it, he could only conclude that the two sides of the jujube tree had completely opposite effects.
Thinking of this, Lin Yu had a new idea. He stopped circulating his spiritual energy and wanted to pick a few dates from the back to taste.
If Lin Yu's guess is correct, then the fruit on the back should be able to suppress the rampaging spiritual power within him.
Lin Yu is now anxious to return to the surface world because He Buxian, the Fallen Black Phoenix, and Feng Changge are still waiting for him. After such a long time, they must be quite anxious.
Moreover, given the impulsive nature of the Fallen Black Phoenix and Feng Changge, it's highly likely they'll jump down to find him.
The pressure in front of this cave was immense; Lin Yu didn't believe it was something the two of them could withstand.
If the Fallen Black Phoenix or Feng Changge really jumps down, there will only be one outcome: they will be shattered to pieces.
This is not the situation Lin Yu wants to see, so it's not appropriate for her to waste time here right now; there's really nothing to it anyway.
After exploring the area, Lin Yu realized that the most abundant thing here was just those stones.
However, the creation of these stones may also be related to the existence of the Netherworld itself.
It's a good thing that this world has existed for so long without being touched by humans, as it has preserved a rare tranquility.
In contrast, the interior of the Netherworld Wonderland has always been a place of burning, killing, looting, and constant warfare.
If what happens inside this cave were to leak out, the consequences would be self-evident.
Thinking of this, Lin Yu immediately exited his cultivation state and wanted to go pick fruit. However, as soon as Lin Yu opened his eyes, he saw the black and gold monkey not far away.
Lin Yu was still sitting in an inconspicuous corner. He had specifically chosen this place to regulate his breathing beforehand.
Meanwhile, the black and gold monkey continued climbing the jujube tree, constantly observing its surroundings, perhaps sensing the presence of strangers.
"Hmm? This monkey looks really strange." Lin Yu immediately noticed something odd about the black and gold monkey.
First of all, the monkey's fur was a blackish-gold color and looked very stiff.
Those eyes, even darker and more lively than those of an ordinary monkey, were as clever as a human's.
Lin Yu didn't pay much attention to the black and gold monkey's constant climbing. He knew it must be the scent he had left behind that had alerted the little guy.
"How come there are monkeys here, and such special monkeys at that?" Lin Yu frowned.
Lin Yu was well aware of the pressure from the tunnel he had just encountered; he had always believed that there was only one entrance to the cave.
However, the appearance of the monkey in front of him made Lin Yu think of another possibility. Could this mean that, in addition to the tunnel that Lin Yu had initially stolen, this cave was also connected to other places in the outside world?
And that path was enough for him to leave the cave directly?
Lin Yu's internal energy is not very stable right now, and he is worried that it might not go smoothly when he crosses the tunnel again.
After all, that immense pressure requires a certain amount of mental effort to withstand.
If we could find another way out of the cave, that would be the best thing ever.
With that thought in mind, Lin Yu walked out from the shadows.
The black and gold monkey, still looking around in the jujube tree, suddenly roared when it saw the stranger appear. It seemed to think it was in danger, and its eyes widened.
After only a moment's hesitation, the black and gold monkey swiftly climbed to the top of the jujube tree.
It's located at the very top of the jujube tree, near the top of the cave.
Upon closer inspection, there was a crevice in the rock, so small that it was just big enough to fit a monkey.
Lin Yu hurriedly followed, but was somewhat disappointed.
