Despite Lin Yu's nonchalant expression when he was constructing the barrier, the black-robed high priest thought that the barrier would be constructed quite easily.
But after I actually tried it, I found that the reality was not like that at all!
"My God, how can such a massive amount of spiritual power be required!" The black-robed high priest was almost dumbfounded after only trying to channel a portion of the power into the barrier.
This barrier requires far too much spiritual energy!
However, looking at the transparent realm around him, the black-robed high priest knew that the spiritual energy he had just channeled in seemed to have had little effect.
The black-robed high priest looked at Lin Yu with the same respect one would show a god.
In his mind, Lin Yu had become even more mysterious, and he was really curious about just how far the other party's spiritual power had reached.
The fact that such a large amount of spiritual power is needed just to construct a barrier can only mean that Lin Yu's own spiritual power is as vast as the ocean.
As for Lin Yu, he was no longer aware of how long he had been circulating his spiritual energy there.
The immense spiritual power that the black-robed high priest possessed was, in reality, just a drop in the ocean for Lin Yu.
As the master of the Primordial Hall, Lin Yu naturally possessed a considerable amount of spiritual power. Moreover, he had also mastered the power of the Heavenly Dao, from which he could borrow strength, making him incredibly powerful.
However, no matter how powerful it was, it couldn't compare to what was important to Lin Yu right now. He tried his best to use the Heaven-Mending Fragment in his hand to draw out the powerful energy within Feng Nianzhi's body.
However, it's clear that this back-and-forth has wasted an unknown amount of time, and the originally scheduled end time has been delayed for an unknown amount of time.
Seeing the black-robed high priest's anxiety, Lin Yu had no choice but to withdraw some of his spiritual power to explain the situation to him.
"Lord of the Temple!" Upon seeing Lin Yu reveal himself, the black-robed high priest immediately called out.
"But what trouble has he encountered? I see that the Palace Master looks very worried. Did he run into some problem while absorbing power? Or is there a problem with the seal?"
The black-robed high priest asked cautiously, his heart pounding again.
Whatever problems Lin Yu encountered, there is no doubt that they affected Feng Nianzhi.
Once the matter involves Feng Nianzhi, the black-robed high priest finds it difficult to remain calm.
Seeing the high priest in black robes looking so anxious, Lin Yu knew that he was just worried and confused, but the situation was urgent, so Lin Yu didn't bother to comfort him anymore.
"None of those. But you should still be prepared for what I'm about to say."
"The seal within Feng Nianzhi's body is not a complete fragment of the Heaven-Mending Fragment; it contains half of the Heaven-Mending Fragment's power."
"In other words, the seal within Feng Nianzhi's body is not a simple seal or a fragment of the Heaven-Mending Stone, but a mixture of both. This means that someone combined these two powers when casting the seal."
"Moreover, so much time has passed that a portion of Feng Nianzhi's spiritual power has already merged with the power of this seal."
"Because the flow of spiritual energy was restricted, the seal also contained a lot of spiritual energy. Therefore, Feng Nianzhi's body mistakenly believed that the seal was also part of Feng Nianzhi's body."
"That seal is using this reason to continuously erode Feng Nianzhi's spiritual power. Of course, that's not all; the seal has also undergone certain changes in the process."
Lin Yu uttered a series of words, the amount of information of which was astonishing.
This series of blows left the black-robed high priest somewhat at a loss for how to react, and he could only stare blankly at Lin Yu.
"Your Highness, what should we do?" the black-robed high priest said cautiously after a long while.
Lin Yu sighed and said, "When I forcibly absorbed spiritual power similar to that of the Heaven-Mending Fragment using the Heaven-Mending Fragment in my hand, I didn't encounter any difficulties."
"However, it seems that Feng Nianzhi has already absorbed a portion of the power from the other fragment of the Heaven-Mending Fragment."
"This is not a good thing. Magical artifacts from the Dao Qi era, whether damaged or broken, are never completely useless. Especially something like the Sky-Mending Stone; although it has now turned into fragments of the Sky-Mending Stone, it is only temporary."
"Sooner or later, when the world faces calamity, the fragments of the sky will gather together and restore it to its original state."
"If Feng Nianzhi carries the power of this Heaven-Mending Fragment, she will definitely be forcibly absorbed by it. In that case, not only Feng Nianzhi, but the entire Phoenix Lord bloodline of the ancient Phoenix clan may cease to exist."
Upon hearing Lin Yu's words, the already exhausted high priest in black robes seemed to age hundreds of years in an instant, revealing a wistful expression.
For so many years, the black-robed high priest has always held the same belief: that Feng Nianzhi's power will awaken sooner or later.
That is the most proud power of the ancient Phoenix Clan, belonging exclusively to the Phoenix Lord.
Although he didn't say it aloud, the black-robed high priest always believed that as time passed, the Phoenix Lord's talent and spiritual power would return to her, and one day, Feng Nianzhi would be able to become the true Phoenix Lord.
If it weren't for this unwavering belief, the black-robed high priest would probably have given up long ago.
"What... what should we do?!" For a moment, the black-robed high priest was at a loss, as if the goal he had been striving for had suddenly disappeared, and he had lost his direction.
Lin Yu's words just now made it very clear: if things continue like this, the ancient phoenix clan will pay the price sooner or later.
Moreover, the black-robed high priest had witnessed the cataclysmic destruction of the world, so he knew all too well that if the power of the Heaven-Mending Fragment within Feng Nianzhi's body was not removed, the annihilation of the ancient Phoenix Clan would be a foregone conclusion.
Sooner or later, the Stone that mended the heavens will return to its original state, which also means that sooner or later, Feng Nianzhi will be absorbed into the fragments that mended the heavens.
"As for the remaining seal, it's called the Soul-Seizing Aperture Seal. It's a relatively independent seal that can fuse with the power of the Heaven-Mending Fragment to a certain extent."
Lin Yu continued talking about the seal within Feng Nianzhi's body.
Upon hearing this, the high priest in black robes was completely stunned.
