Lin Yu believed that the current fragments of the Heaven-Mending technique were no longer comparable to those shown in the data.
After all, it already possesses a certain degree of intelligence.
During the battle with the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Fragment, Lin Yu solemnly sensed that the yellow sand controlled by the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Fragment had undergone a certain degree of change.
Lin Yu could sense that the power of this Heaven-Mending Fragment was completely different from any Heaven-Mending Fragment he had encountered before.
"Ding! Deduction in progress... Deduction successful! (Click to view details!)"
The system notification tone sounded at the appropriate time.
"Check the details!" Lin Yu said immediately.
"Ding! According to the detection, the fragment of the Heaven-Mending Fragment is undergoing a transformation. This transformation is a form of upgrade for the fragment, which typically upgrades once every hundred years. However, in the event of a major incident, it may upgrade earlier!"
"Upgrade?!" Lin Yu was slightly surprised upon hearing the system notification.
This fragment of the ancient sky-mending technique is too outrageous; it can even be upgraded!
It seems that the great calamity that occurred during the Dao Qi era caused the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Stone to shatter into even more pieces, resulting in the current appearance of the Three Thousand Immortal Realms.
Clearly, due to that calamity, the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Piece were also severely damaged, which caused them to lose many of their original functions from the era of the Three Thousand Immortal Realms.
"Could it be that one of the black-robed priests did all this intentionally?" Thinking back on the black-robed priests' previous actions, Lin Yu suddenly had a thought.
Perhaps from the very beginning, the black-robed priest knew of the existence of the fragments used to mend the heavens in the Phoenix Ancestral Sea, but simply wanted to exploit them.
Thinking of this, Lin Yu really wanted to drag that black-robed priest out and give him a good scolding. That old bastard was really doing something inhuman. He had no ability to protect the safety of the ancient phoenix clan, so he set his sights on the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Stone.
The fragments of the sky-mending artifact have now been transformed into a protective barrier by the black-robed priest, specifically to deal with intruders from the Phoenix Clan.
Perhaps it wasn't just intruders, but many more innocent monks who entered this place.
However, regardless of the reason, the final outcome was pretty much the same: they all turned into nourishment for the fragments used to mend the sky.
"System, carefully analyze the evolution of the Heaven-Mending Fragments!"
"Ding! Simulation in progress... Simulation in progress... Simulation in progress..."
After a moment, the system notification sounded again.
"Ding! The simulation is complete! Click to view details!"
"Check the details!" Lin Yu didn't hesitate at all; he could sense that this represented a huge conspiracy.
As expected, the system's deductions revealed the extremely dark side of the black-robed priest.
Just as Lin Yu had thought, the transformation of the Heaven-Mending Fragments was entirely due to the influence of the Devouring Cultivator.
The fragments that mended the heavens not only devoured the spiritual power of cultivators, but also the inner sea of their spirits.
However, the cultivators thrown in were a mixed bag, of varying quality. While most of them had weak spiritual seas, there were quite a few strong ones among them.
For these powerful individuals, their spiritual seas inevitably cannot be fully digested by the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Fragment, and in the end, they can only become a part of the Heaven-Mending Fragment.
Due to the influence of the cultivation techniques of some powerful individuals, their spiritual power and even the interior of their spiritual sea will carry some unique attributes, and the Heaven-Mending Fragment will naturally be affected by these attributes as well.
It should be understood that the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Stone were originally made of pure Yang energy to mend the heavens. If they are attacked by dark forces, they will inevitably undergo some degree of transformation.
The "upgrade" the system just mentioned is more of a "mutation" than an upgrade!
Realizing this, Lin Yu frowned deeply. If things continued to develop this way, the first crisis facing the Dao Qi era might come from the ancient Phoenix clan.
"It seems I've come at the right time, resolving another crisis for the Dao Qi Era," Lin Yu couldn't help but think.
After all, judging from the current situation, even if he hadn't come, it was only a matter of time before the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Stone mutated. His arrival only accelerated this mutation.
Fortunately, the person currently in this desert is Lin Yu, and he has enough confidence to solve this problem rather than let it escalate into a bigger one.
"Bite!"
Just then, a notification sound rang in Lin Yu's mind.
Lin Yu realized something and was overjoyed. After waiting for so long, he had finally gotten what he was looking forward to!
The illusory image it emitted finally found the true form of the fragment that mended the sky.
This is a fragment of the Heaven-Mending Stone native to the Yellow Sand Land. With a thought, Lin Yu took the fragment in his hand.
This means that at this moment, Lin Yu has gained the upper hand in this struggle and achieved a complete victory.
Fortunately, because he created such a large space, the power of the Sky-Mending Fragment itself did not increase much; he put more of his power into enhancing the space.
This meant that the original body of the Heaven-Mending Fragment had no chance of resistance after being found by Lin Yu's phantom.
Even if the fragment of the Heaven-Mending Stone were now in Lin Yu's hands, he could only tremble in fear.
"Buzz... buzz... buzz..."
The fragments of the Heaven-Mending Stone trembled violently, emitting pale yellow light as they tried to break free from Lin Yu's restraints.
However, he was no match for Lin Yu. With a thought, Lin Yu summoned a blue-purple lightning power, which transformed into a sphere and trapped the entire fragment of the Heaven-Mending Fragment within it.
"Boom!"
Although the main body was trapped, the yellow sand was not. The fragment of the sky-mending piece seized the opportunity and immediately manipulated the yellow sand to unleash even more powerful energy, wanting to fight Lin Yu to the death.
Unexpectedly, Lin Yu simply raised his hand and waved it. A gentle breeze swept by, seemingly without any special power, but upon encountering the sand and stones, it acted like a long sword, cleaving them in two.
If the fragment of the sky-mending piece had eyes at this moment, it would probably be staring wide-eyed in shock. Unfortunately, it didn't, and could only tremble, expressing its disbelief.
"Boom..."
Who could have imagined that the once arrogant yellow sand and gravel would be instantly slapped into space by Lin Yu with a light palm strike?
The sandstorm tried to coalesce again, but it had no power whatsoever.
The fragments that mended the sky must be very puzzled at this moment. How did Lin Yu manage to do that? He didn't sever the connection between himself and the sand and stones, yet he easily defeated and scattered all of them!
