And so, Feng Nianzhi led Lin Yu away from the Phoenix Tomb.
Under Feng Nianzhi's strong insistence, Lin Yu has transformed from the "despicable villain" in the eyes of the Phoenix Clan's youths into a distinguished guest of the Phoenix Clan.
Lin Yu believed that now, let alone the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Stone or the Phoenix Essence Blood, even if he made any other request, or asked for another drop of Phoenix Essence Blood, the Phoenix Clan would probably offer it up without hesitation.
Lin Yu can now move freely within the Phoenix Ancestral Sea.
However, the young cultivator guarding the Phoenix Tomb didn't seem to intend to let Lin Yu go.
Normally, he was stationed at the Phoenix Tomb and could not leave for even a moment, but he found a brother who guarded Lin Yu every day without fail, seemingly to monitor Lin Yu's every move.
I don't know what that kid said to the phoenix, but now the phoenix looks at Lin Yu with hatred and curiosity.
"Let me give you a piece of advice: the Phoenix Lord is treating you with great respect now. You should cherish this special honor; ordinary people don't even get this treatment."
"I advise you not to do anything that could harm the Phoenix Clan, and even more so, not to do anything that could put the Phoenix Lord in danger."
"Otherwise, neither I nor any member of our Phoenix Clan will let you go."
That young man from the Phoenix Clan said it almost every day, and Lin Yu almost lost his composure after hearing it.
"What exactly did that brat living in the tomb tell you? What, he only told you about my evil deeds and forgot to describe my strength?"
"With my power, even if I were to do something that you find intolerable, what could your Phoenix Clan possibly do to me?!"
Lin Yu deliberately spoke arrogantly, but in truth, he was very curious about what gave this little phoenix the courage to say those words to him.
Fortunately, the phoenix guarding the tomb did not forget to describe Lin Yu's strength, and the phoenix in front of him was indeed rendered speechless by Lin Yu's words.
Because he knew that Lin Yu was right; if Lin Yu wanted to, he could do everything he had just said.
Moreover, Lin Yu's strength far surpasses his own; he is far more powerful.
In fact, even without Lin Yu explicitly stating his power, the young man from the Phoenix Clan could sense that Lin Yu's spiritual energy concentration was significantly higher than his own.
Otherwise, the ancestors in the tomb wouldn't have specifically instructed me to be careful when dealing with this bourgeois person.
Other members of the clan may not know what happened behind the scenes, but this young man from the Phoenix Clan has learned the whole story from the people in the Phoenix Tomb.
It is said that even the most powerful high priest in the clan is no match for Lin Yu!
Upon hearing this, the young man from the Phoenix Clan felt a wave of frustration.
The greatest helplessness is when a malicious person is standing right in front of you, but you are powerless to do anything about it!
All I could do was watch helplessly as this guy swaggered around in front of me like nothing had happened!
"You've already gotten everything you wanted, so what are you still doing in my Phoenix Clan's territory?" the young Phoenix Clan member asked, puzzled.
Lin Yu smiled and replied with considerable arrogance, "This Palace Master is pleased!"
Those five simple words almost drove the young man from the Phoenix Clan half to death with anger.
He was unaware that Lin Yu had his own reasons for staying in the Phoenix Clan's territory.
One reason was the fear that someone might harm the Phoenix Clan while the Black-Robed High Priest was absent.
If such a thing were to happen, Lin Yu would definitely step in to resolve it, after all, it was something he had promised the Black-Robed High Priest!
On the other hand, it is related to Lord Phoenix Nianzhi.
Lin Yu could sense that there was a seal on Feng Nianzhi's body. The power of this seal was extremely strong, and it was not something that a cultivator with low strength could create.
Even in the current Dao Qi era, cultivators with such strength are extremely terrifying; ordinary people are simply no match for them.
Logically speaking, the Phoenix Clan's habitat should be rich in spiritual energy, so for demonic beasts, leveling up should be very fast.
However, due to that seal, Feng Nianzhi, as the Phoenix Lord, has stagnated in her cultivation.
After some investigation, Lin Yu learned that the appearance of the Demon Race race is not only related to age, but also to strength.
Given Feng Nianzhi's current age, it's clear that her strength is simply not up to par.
Perhaps compared to an ordinary phoenix, Feng Nianzhi is already very strong, but as the Phoenix Lord, Feng Nianzhi's strength is still far from sufficient.
"If it weren't for the seal, how could Feng Nianzhi have increased her cultivation at such a slow pace, even in such a suitable environment?" Lin Yu thought to himself.
Lin Yu had also subtly inquired about this matter with Feng Nianzhi.
To Lin Yu's surprise, Feng Nianzhi seemed to know nothing about the seal on her body.
Hearing this, Lin Yu sighed helplessly. It seemed that he could only learn more about what had happened after the black-robed high priest had finished his ordeal and returned.
No matter how you look at it, the seal doesn't seem to have a positive effect on Feng Nianzhi.
As the trials and tribulations gradually intensified, the black-robed high priest gradually fell silent, obediently staying in seclusion amidst the cataclysmic calamity every day. Only occasionally would he send a message to Lin Yu Lin Yu, letting him know that he was still alive.
Looking at the mess left in front of him, Lin Yu didn't seem to care.
After absorbing the Phoenix's essence, the Hongmeng System released certain permissions, which meant that Lin Yu could now explore some aspects of the world's origin.
"This system finally won't fail at crucial moments anymore." Lin Yu smiled with satisfaction. He could feel that the system's power had increased considerably.
This is undoubtedly a huge boost for Lin Yu now.
Because of that puppetry technique, Lin Yu unexpectedly arrived at the Phoenix Ancestral Sea during the Dao Qi era, and indeed gained quite a few things beyond his expectations.
Although many things happened along the way, Lin Yu managed to resolve them all successfully.
"Even with the Hongmeng System, one isn't invincible in this fantasy world; one still needs to enhance their own power," Lin Yu pondered.
During this time, the Hongmeng System successfully replicated a fragment of the Heaven-Mending Fragment, but with a more refined power.
