After pondering for almost a day, the black-robed high priest devised this method.

In other words, instead of dismantling the sealing power within Feng Nianzhi's body, they would try to extract the sealing power from it.

In theory, this is entirely possible, but in practice, it is extremely difficult.

After listening, Lin Yu also had considerable concerns. "Your idea does make some sense, and it sounds feasible."

"However, as you saw when I used my power this morning, Feng Nianzhi's condition wasn't very good."

"As long as any external elemental or spiritual power comes into contact with the seal itself, regardless of the purpose, Feng Nianzhi's body will suffer a great burden."

"Leaving aside whether the seal can be broken or drawn out, even if it could be achieved, I'm afraid Feng Nianzhi's body wouldn't be able to withstand it."

"I could use a similar power from the Heaven-Mending Fragment to draw out the seal, but that wouldn't guarantee Feng Nianzhi's safety."

Lin Yu's words plunged the room into silence once again. The black-robed high priest, upon hearing this, was not too disappointed, but instead revealed a bitter smile of "I knew it."

In fact, long before making this suggestion, the black-robed high priest had already considered a question: if the situation were really as simple as he imagined, how could Lin Yu not have thought of this method?

As the master of the Primordial Hall, Lin Yu is a man of great knowledge and experience. How could he be inferior to an old man who spends all his time hiding in the Phoenix Ancestral Sea?

In retrospect, it's not that Lin Yu hadn't considered this possibility, but rather that the likelihood of this method being implemented was very low!

The high priest in black robes fell into complete silence. Thinking of how the ancient Phoenix Clan, once a supreme demon beast clan, had been hiding in the Phoenix Ancestral Sea for many years, barely surviving, he was overwhelmed with mixed feelings.

If everything were as usual, what could he possibly do even if he single-handedly supported the ancient Phoenix clan?

It's a pity that people will eventually grow old. Even cultivators, unless they reach the most terrifying level of strength, will still face the problem of aging.

Over the years, the black-robed high priest had been barely holding on, but he increasingly realized that he was willing but unable to do so!

In any case, I don't have the bloodline power of the Phoenix Lord, nor that kind of divine power inherited from bloodline.

The ancient Phoenix clan has always relied on this divine power for survival. No matter what, they must never forget their ancestral roots!

"Brother Lin Yu, I think... we should still give it a try."

Just as the black-robed high priest and Lin Yu fell into silence, Feng Nianzhi slowly woke up and began to speak.

Her face was still somewhat pale when she spoke, and her tone was not clear enough to form a coherent sentence, but her meaning was very clear.

Both the black-robed high priest and Lin Yu were somewhat surprised to hear Feng Nianzhi make this decision.

But looking into Feng Nianzhi's determined eyes, Lin Yu seemed to understand what she was thinking, and for a moment he felt a mix of emotions.

He understood that Feng Nianzhi had waited a long time for this turning point. Throughout those long years, she had been helpless against the seal. It was Lin Yu's arrival that brought Feng Nianzhi hope.

Even if this method isn't a "perfect solution," it's at least the only solution we can think of right now!

At this moment, Feng Nianzhi's red eyes were like blazing flames, filled with unwavering determination.

Although the ancient phoenix clan was very concerned about their reputation, they also had a lot of pride and courage. Given Feng Nianzhi's personality, she would just have to endure it if there was no other way.

However, right now, there is clearly a possibility of resolving this matter, but to ask her to accept the status quo is something Feng Nianzhi would never agree to.

"As the Phoenix Lord of the ancient Phoenix Clan, I am willing to bear all the consequences." Seeing the black-robed high priest and Lin Yu remain silent, Feng Nianzhi spoke up again in a calm tone.

"Whatever the consequences, I can bear them. Bring it on," Feng Nianzhi said.

"Lord Phoenix!" the black-robed high priest shouted, kneeling down and facing the direction where Feng Nianzhi was, tears streaming down his face.

Feng Nianzhi simply smiled slightly, and even reached out to pat the black-robed high priest's head, just like a little adult.

"My Lord Phoenix, I am truly sorry..." The black-robed high priest sobbed uncontrollably.

"Alright, High Priest, don't worry too much. There's probably no danger," Feng Nianzhi comforted the black-robed High Priest.

Of course, everyone knew that Feng Nianzhi's words were merely to comfort the black-robed high priest's assumption.

Lin Yu looked at the black-robed high priest's somewhat hunched back and felt a mix of emotions. Although the high priest hadn't said it explicitly, Lin Yu could tell that the high priest was now at his last gasp.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible to do all those things before.

"Since you've said so yourself, then I'll give it a try."

"However, I still hope to use the power of the Heaven-Mending Fragment to break the seal as much as possible. After all, the seal has been with you for too long, and suddenly removing it might have an impact on your body!"

"If the seal cannot be broken, I'm trying to draw out at least half of its power. This will greatly help us break the seal in the future."

Lin Yu thought about it for a while and finally came to a conclusion.

Continuing to delay is not a solution. If this were Lin Yu's own situation, he would have taken action long ago. However, since it concerns the ancient phoenix clan and Feng Nianzhi, Lin Yu cannot make the decision for them.

"Of course, let me make it clear beforehand that if Feng Nianzhi shows any violent reaction during this process, I will stop immediately, no matter how far the seal breaking or the attraction has progressed."

"Believe me, anything is possible with effort. As long as we find a way, we can always solve the problem. Perhaps this turning point isn't the most opportune time!"

Even if we miss this opportunity, Feng Nianzhi's future, and the future of the ancient phoenix clan, is still a long time ahead!

Lin Yu said seriously.

These words deeply moved both the black-robed high priest and Feng Nianzhi. Clearly, Lin Yu had anticipated all the possible scenarios; what ordinary cultivator could have achieved this?

Upon hearing Lin Yu's words, the black-robed high priest burst into tears, overwhelmed with emotion. His lips trembled for a moment before he cautiously said, "Thank you so much, Lord Temple Master, for saving me!"
