Everything seemed to become clear because of this discovery.
Lin Yu realized that the only reason the water droplet man was able to find this place was that he himself had fallen into this spot.
Who could have imagined that the two fragments of the Heaven-Mending Piece were never separated in the first place, but instead ended up in the same place?
Perhaps they weren't in the same place, but they were both within the Netherworld Wonderland, which was already a very close distance for the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Piece.
At least for the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Patch, the difference is definitely not that great.
You may plant flowers with care, but they may not bloom; you may plant willows without intention, and they may thrive.
Looking at the faintly glowing fragments of the sky-mending structure in front of him, Lin Yu had only one feeling: it was like a pie falling from the sky and landing right in his mouth.
"I never imagined I'd be so lucky, stumbling upon the third fragment of the Heaven-Mending Piece by sheer chance!"
Even Lin Yu, who usually kept his emotions hidden, couldn't help but laugh out loud. He had obtained this fragment of the Heaven-Mending Stone without any effort at all.
Without hesitation, Lin Yu immediately fused the two fragments of the Heaven-Mending Patch together.
In any case, he at least needs to use the fragment of the Heaven-Mending Tree in his hand to draw out the fragment of the Heaven-Mending Tree inside the jujube tree, so that the two fragments of the Heaven-Mending Tree can fuse their attributes.
Fortunately, the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Stone within the jujube tree were hidden inside the tree itself, and since the jujube tree was located in a relatively enclosed cave, its power remained relatively pure and therefore did not exhibit any particular aggression or invasiveness.
All of this is because this fragment of the sky-mending stone before us not only lacks any troublesome intelligence or consciousness, but its attributes are also exactly the same as those of the original sky-mending stone.
Coincidentally, the fragments of the Phoenix Ancestral Sea that Lin Yu possessed were in the same state after Lin Yu cleaned them.
The two fragments of the sky-mending artifact fused together naturally without any rejection reaction.
However, when Lin Yu took the fragment of the Heaven-Mending Stone from the jujube tree, this jujube tree, which spanned an era, withered instantly.
The ripe, sweet dates began to fall one by one.
No wonder this ordinary jujube tree could survive for so long in such a closed cave, and the inside of the jujubes even has the ability to enhance the power of cultivators' source techniques. All of this is because of the fragment of the sky-mending material at the very center of the jujube tree.
It is precisely because of the existence of the fragments that the jujube tree was provided with tremendous energy, which makes its fruit so unique.
Looking at the once thick roots of the jujube tree, Lin Yu even felt that perhaps the stream was formed later in life.
This jujube tree was born from the fragment of the sky-mending technique. It is highly likely that the fragment happened to fall onto the jujube tree's seed, causing it to take root and sprout.
The stream was so warm and gentle that it was probably only because it came into contact with the roots of the jujube tree and touched a trace of the power of the fragment that mended the sky, thus causing the change.
From the very beginning, Lin Yu had the cause and effect relationship reversed.
At first, he thought that the existence of the stream allowed the jujube tree to survive for so long, but now he realizes that it was the existence of the fragments that allowed the jujube tree to take root and sprout, and the stream to be born.
Seeing the towering tree destroyed, Lin Yu didn't feel anything. In his opinion, if it weren't for the fragments of the sky-mending technique, the jujube tree would never have been able to grow here.
Because of the falling of the fragments that mended the sky, this jujube tree was able to take root and sprout, and has grown for more than two thousand years.
Fortunately, in this relatively enclosed cave, apart from a monkey, there are no other living beings, so everything here remains in an extremely pure state.
Putting aside everything else, if this jujube tree had grown in the outside world, it would likely have developed intelligence long ago due to the influence of its environment.
Once the jujube tree develops sentience, whether for better or worse, it will inevitably affect the fragments used to mend the sky.
This was clearly not the outcome Lin Yu wanted to see.
The black and gold monkey, seeing its jujube tree, which it relied on for its livelihood, collapse with a crash, nervously scratched its ears and cheeks, jumping up and down, looking extremely anxious.
The reason he has been able to survive here for so many years is entirely due to the existence of this jujube tree.
Now the jujube tree has withered, all the fruit has fallen, and even the stream beside it is gradually drying up. How will he survive in the future?
The black and golden monkey was heartbroken as it watched helplessly as its dreamland turned into hell in an instant.
Looking at the dejected little guy, and remembering all the kindness he had shown him before, Lin Yu couldn't help but sigh, "Little Dongxi, don't be afraid."
"If this jujube tree falls, you won't survive here for long either. In essence, this cave shouldn't have existed here in the first place."
"I don't think you belong here. Why don't you come up with me? I'll protect you from now on."
"There are many kinds of food outside, not just dates, but also many of your kind. Why continue to grow here?"
"Moreover, you now possess rudimentary intelligence; once you leave this place, you will soon be able to cultivate into a powerful demon beast."
"Continuing to stay in this dark and gloomy cave will only hinder your cultivation."
In fact, as early as when he started absorbing the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Tree from the jujube tree, Lin Yu had already made up his mind to find a way to take this black-gold monkey out.
Although he must have been under tremendous pressure when he came in, he will surely be able to feel that the outside world is even more wonderful after he gets there!
"Woo... woo... woo..." A pitiful whimper escaped from deep within the black and gold monkey's throat once more.
Lin Yu said far too much at once, and the black and gold monkey obviously couldn't understand it immediately. However, looking at Lin Yu's friendly expression, she could still tell that he didn't intend to abandon her.
Lin Yu reached out and patted the little guy's head.
No creature had ever treated it like this before. The black and gold monkey felt incredibly warm and nestled affectionately against Lin Yu's body.
Lin Yu fused the two pieces of the Heaven-Mending Fragment with almost no effort.
It's that easy to fuse two clean fragments of the Sky-Mending Stone, but fusion of the fragment where the Water Droplet Man is located is not so easy.
Because it has developed intelligence and consciousness, the attributes of the Heaven-Mending Fragments have changed, making it impossible to easily fuse them.
However, because the fragments used to mend the heavens were extremely pure, the entire process was quite easy, making Lin Yu feel comfortable as well.
