"System, deduce what this place is and how to break through it." Lin Yu summoned the system.
With his strength, breaking through this space would naturally not be difficult, but after experiencing being inexplicably teleported to the Dao Qi Era in the Three Thousand Immortal Realms, Lin Yu had to be cautious about this matter.
It must be admitted that, given the significance of the Dao Qi era, many unexpected things could happen.
Lin Yu was still somewhat worried. Although the black-robed priest seemed unreliable, there was bound to be problems similar to puppetry in this desert space.
If specific methods are not used to break through the space, it may cause some adverse effects.
Having experienced the puppetry incident, Lin Yu didn't want to inflict that kind of influence on himself again.
"Ding! Simulation in progress..."
"Ding! The deduction is complete! (Click to view details!)" Before long, the system notification message indicating the completion of the deduction reached Lin Yu's mind.
"Check the details!"
"This place is located in a crevice within the Phoenix Ancestral Sea, where the residual energy of the fragments used to mend the heavens remains!"
Upon hearing the news of the Heaven-Mending Fragment, Lin Yu was overjoyed, as one of his main objectives for this trip was to find it.
Lin Yu then asked, "How can we break through this space? Is there a special method?"
"Ding! Calculation in progress... Calculation in progress..."
Unexpectedly, after Lin Yu asked the question, the system seemed to freeze and went into "loading" mode again. Lin Yu felt helpless but could only wait.
"Ding! The simulation is complete! (Click to view details!)"
"View details!" Lin Yu said, but a sense of foreboding crept into his heart.
Sure enough, as soon as Lin Yu finished speaking, the system popped up another notification.
"Insufficient permissions! Insufficient system permissions! Insufficient host permissions! **** permissions are not enabled! Specific permissions unknown!"
A series of notification sounds echoed in Lin Yu's mind, but fortunately he was prepared, so he wasn't too disappointed.
Lin Yu had already prepared for "insufficient permissions" long before the system had been detecting him for so long.
After all, the system's processing speed is generally quite fast; for ordinary questions, the system will provide a response within a few seconds.
This time, the system ran for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, which is enough to indicate that either this is a particularly large problem that requires the system to consume a great deal of energy to detect, or there is insufficient permission.
However, after several previous attempts, Lin Yu had already figured it out.
This system of the Dao Qi Era will display "insufficient permissions" or "permission not enabled" status for anything that is even remotely related to the Dao Qi Era itself, the Phoenix Ancestral Sea, or the fragments of mending the heavens.
Without obtaining the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Stone, we cannot uncover the secrets hidden within the Phoenix, nor can we thoroughly study this space.
And their own system privileges will never be fully enabled.
"Even if I obtain the essence blood of the Phoenix Clan, I'm afraid there will be many permissions that need to be activated," Lin Yu pondered to himself.
Compared to the system from the Three Thousand Immortal Realms era, this system from the Dao Qi era is clearly much more talkative. Although it has fewer functions, it provides more prompts.
"Looks like the system I was using before was a streamlined version. No wonder I thought it was so aloof!" Lin Yu muttered to himself.
Amidst the endless expanse of yellow dust and sand, Lin Yu stood like a wanderer adrift in the desert.
After exploring for a period of time, Lin Yu discovered that apart from himself, there was no other living being in this world.
Or rather, apart from Lin Yu himself, there were only dead spirits, and no living beings.
Lin Yu had encountered this situation before, so he wasn't flustered. He simply found an empty spot and sat cross-legged.
After all, after a period of exploration, Lin Yu had gained some understanding of the space here.
What I've always pursued is nothing more than "power," and "power" is the most basic code of conduct in the entire fantasy world.
It is the most basic rule of survival in the fantasy world.
Only true strength—both mental and physical—can break free from this endless cycle of seeking knowledge.
In fact, whether in the world of the Three Thousand Immortal Realms or in the ancient Phoenix Clan of the present Dao Qi era, the relationship between cultivators is nothing more than "suppression." The stronger one is, the more one can suppress the other.
This space filled with yellow sand was used by the black-robed priest to kill many cultivators who attempted to invade the territory of the ancient phoenix clan.
Ultimately, this space is nothing special.
It's nothing more than absorbing and extracting the life force of living beings through special spiritual energy within the space, and then stripping them of it.
This space relies on its own source laws to slaughter and imprison all outsiders or the weak who come here.
In other words, entering this space is no different than entering the mouth of a carnivorous plant.
Lin Yu smiled helplessly; this level of difficulty was nothing to him.
Over such a long period of time, Lin Yu naturally did not rely entirely on the system. He not only improved his own power, but also accumulated a lot of rare and precious materials.
Although he hastily entered the world of the Dao Qi era, Lin Yu has already brought quite a few things with him in his storage space, all of which can come in handy at crucial moments.
After all, if Lin Yu had always relied on the system, he wouldn't have developed to this point; he might still be trapped inside the Primordial Hall, unable to leave.
Moreover, seeing how frequently the Dao Qi Era System malfunctioned, Lin Yu became even more certain of his decision.
"No matter what, this system is still too unreliable; it fails at crucial moments," Lin Yu sighed.
After a brief search, Lin Yu found a rather suitable magical artifact.
It was a flute, pure white as snow, yet warm to the touch.
Lin Yu, holding a flute, stood in the void and began to play.
"Waaaaah... waaaah... waaaah..."
The sound of the white jade flute seemed even more poignant amidst the desolate yellow sand, like a mournful lament. However, from a distance, it was truly a beautiful sight.
The yellow sand and smoke filled the sky, initially drifting aimlessly, but as the sound of the flute began, they began to dance and swirl under the control of the flute.
