Lin Yu arrived outside the stone cave, staring thoughtfully at the interior.
Then, Lin Yu released a burst of spiritual energy, slowly heading deeper into the stone cave.
Because a dark figure was sealed inside the cave, the entire cave became quite oppressive.
Just from this aura alone, many ordinary cultivators would perish here. Fortunately, Lin Yu's spiritual power is exceptionally strong, so he doesn't take it seriously.
There was something Little Purple didn't realize: the power behind that black figure was immense.
Otherwise, Little Purple wouldn't have struggled so much. That's why Lin Yu deliberately sealed this black figure in the stone cave behind the mountain.
After Lin Yu entered the stone cave using his spiritual power, he tried his best to establish a connection with the dark figure.
However, the power of this shadowy figure clearly originated from the Dark Rift of the Dao Qi era, and its protective capabilities were extremely strong.
Even Lin Yu took a long time to barely establish contact with that dark figure.
Outside the cave, Lin Yu closed his eyes, sat cross-legged, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
What can mysterious forces do?
Now that his mental power had established a connection with the shadow, Lin Yu learned about the Dark Rift through it in the next second.
Moreover, Lin Yu also sensed that the three statues in the Clear Void Immortal Domain were somehow connected to this matter.
Since the World-Ending Great Calamity, the Supreme Qilin Clan, the Supreme White Tiger Clan, and the Supreme Black Tortoise Clan should have been wiped out. However, today Lin Yu discovered that these three clans have not been completely destroyed, but still have a breath of life left.
These three races were also patient and none of them stayed in the world of the Three Thousand Immortal Worlds. Instead, they hid in the cultivation rift.
Beyond that rift, the three races, along with countless powerful beings from the Dao Qi era, erected exceptionally strong barriers to defend against invasions from other races.
Lin Yu quickly discovered that behind the protective barrier, there were actually the Supreme Phoenix Clan and the Supreme Dragon Race.
In terms of bloodline, the Supreme Dragon Race and the Supreme Phoenix Clan on the other side of the protective barrier are the most primitive races.
The two major races in the Three Thousand Immortal Worlds today are merely seeds left over from the Dao Qi era, due to the influence of heaven and earth.
The real source lies within the protective barriers.
As for the three statues in the Clear Void Immortal Domain, they correspond to the different ways in which the Dark Rift surges into the world.
After gaining a better understanding of these matters, Lin Yu withdrew the spiritual energy he had released.
However, Lin Yu did not intend to release the black figure sealed inside the stone cave.
If released now, it would definitely cause a huge uproar.
" Primordial Guards, listen to my command! Immediately go and find those three statues, seal them away, and bring them back immediately," Lin Yu said calmly.
After giving the order, a powerful figure appeared before Lin Yu and knelt on one knee. "I will obey Master's command."
These three statues have not yet shown any signs of awakening, but they have now become the medium through which the power behind the Dark Rift enters the Three Thousand Immortal Worlds, so naturally the statues cannot be allowed to wander freely outside.
Within the Clear Void Immortal Domain.
The world's highest peak.
Eight beams of light landed on the plateau, and soon they dispersed outwards.
This simple change quickly triggered a cataclysmic event in the world. Where the eight rays of light disappeared, each point left a deep imprint and a strange scene.
Immediately afterwards, the light merged into the Clear Void Immortal Domain.
The instant the light merged into the Clear Void Immortal Domain, the spatial power of the Clear Void Immortal Domain suddenly increased several times, and even the power of the Great Dao within it increased considerably.
All living beings in the entire Clear Void Immortal Domain sensed this change, and were somewhat puzzled.
No cultivator could fathom why the Clear Void Immortal Domain had undergone such a transformation.
Hongmeng Mountain.
Lin Yu had just sent people to find the three statues and bring them back when he sensed the changes in the Clear Void Immortal Domain.
After carefully sensing the situation, Lin Yu immediately sensed that something was very wrong.
The anomaly occurred from eight directions, and judging from the aura emanating from those eight directions, it appears that the Heaven-Mending Fragment have appeared!
The little boy, who Foodie, already possessed extraordinary power because he carried a Heaven-Mending Fragment.
Now that eight Heaven-Mending Fragment have appeared simultaneously, a new battle is bound to ensue.
During this time, the Foodie little boy may also be affected.
Lin Yu frowned, wanting to find the Foodie little boy immediately, but discovered that the little guy had completely disappeared from the world at some point.
"Hmm?" Left with no other choice, Lin Yu had to investigate the Foodie's whereabouts.
Soon, to everyone's surprise, they discovered that the Foodie little boy had disappeared along with Chen Honghu!
Within the Clear Void Immortal Domain.
Chen Honghu and the Foodie little boy slowly woke up.
When they saw what was in front of them, both of them showed expressions of shock.
Fortunately, there had been some unusual activity in the Clear Void Immortal Domain beforehand, so the two seemed to have anticipated that they would appear here.
Currently, nine Heaven-Mending Fragment have awakened within the Clear Void Immortal Domain, signifying that the power and inheritance of the heavens are about to begin.
The Foodie's body contained a Heaven-Mending Fragment, and although a large portion of it had been digested, it was still summoned here.
As for Chen Honghu, he was simply summoned along with the little boy because he had made a contract with Foodie.
Currently, the two have become the first successors to the Lord of the Firmament, but clearly, it is not an easy thing.
Before officially becoming the Lord of the Firmament, they need to undergo the inheritance of the power of the Sky and obtain the will of the Sky.
In the Three Thousand Immortal Worlds, the power of each sky is extremely strong, a true symbol of power, so passing on power is by no means a trivial matter.
Within the Clear Void Immortal Domain, a strong azure light shone upon the two individuals.
The light was incredibly gentle, yet it felt as heavy as a thousand pounds when it touched you.
Chen Honghu, who had been standing upright, almost knelt on the ground after feeling the immense pressure.
Needless to say, the little boy who Foodie was no match for Chen Honghu. He didn't have Chen Honghu's stubborn temper, and with the force coming suddenly, he was slammed to the ground.
This is the necessary path to inheriting the consciousness of the heavens.
If the current obstacles can be overcome, then one can become the new Lord of the Firmament.
However, it is clear that overcoming these obstacles is not an easy task.
