If we were to say which of the various immortal realms in this Dao Qi era had the harshest environment, it would undoubtedly be the Netherworld Immortal Realm.
Compared to the Netherworld Immortal Realm during the Three Thousand Immortal Realms era, the Netherworld Immortal Realm at this time is devastated, with countless traces of battles lying across its disciples.
Lin Yu wasn't particularly concerned about the fighting between the various factions. After all, he had no connection with the various factions in the Netherworld Immortal Realm, and he hadn't come to the Netherworld Immortal Realm to fight; he was simply looking for someone.
It is worth mentioning that the situation in the Netherworld Immortal Realm is completely different from that in the Phoenix Ancestral Sea. Although there are also relatively dark places in the Phoenix Ancestral Sea, it is generally peaceful and tranquil.
The majority of people living in the Phoenix Ancestral Sea are still members of the ancient Phoenix clan. Although there are a few other Demon Race, they at least maintain a state of mutual respect and non-interference.
Apart from the ancient Phoenix clan, most other Demon Race are limited by their power and bloodline, making them incomparable to the ancient Phoenix clan.
Therefore, the ancient Phoenix Clan has always held a leading position in the Phoenix Ancestral Sea. Although their survival was threatened to some extent, it was mostly threatened by outsiders. The internal races did not bring any disasters to the Phoenix Clan.
However, the Netherworld Immortal Realm itself was extremely chaotic. Various races gathered in the Netherworld Immortal Realm, and although a certain degree of balance had been achieved, constant struggles still occurred.
Every minute and every second here is filled with tremendous noise, as both wild beasts and special races live a life where they don't know what tomorrow will bring.
"Upon reflection, I recall that in my youth I also traveled extensively with the previous Phoenix Lord, and I even visited this Netherworld Immortal Realm back then."
"So many years have passed, yet the Netherworld Immortal Realm remains exactly the same as before!"
Looking at the chaotic scene around him, the high priest in black robes was overwhelmed with mixed feelings.
Returning to her hometown, she found everything changed. The previous Phoenix Lord, who had once wandered with her, had been reborn and transformed into Feng Nianzhi, who knew nothing of the past.
Furthermore, Feng Nianzhi was also threatened by the seal. Thinking back on the hardships the ancient phoenix clan had endured over the years, the black-robed high priest sighed deeply.
However, this low mood didn't last long and quickly disappeared.
After all, what normal cultivator would be overwhelmed with emotions in such a noisy place? Even if they wanted to, they wouldn't be able to!
Lin Yu also strongly agreed with this statement.
According to the description of the black-robed high priest, in recent years, not only the ancient phoenix clan, but also other regions have been in chaos due to the appearance of the fragments of the sky mending, with various forces resisting each other, and the external forces have changed several times.
Unfortunately, the Netherworld Immortal Realm still retains its "original intention," maintaining its original chaotic state, which is truly difficult to accept.
"Here, only slaughter is eternal. As long as this being exists in this Netherworld Immortal Realm, slaughter will continue."
"Actually, it's not just the Netherworld Immortal Realm; isn't it the same in the outside world? You kill me, I kill you—perhaps this is what the fantasy world is all about!"
"They fight and kill each other, then get trapped in a vicious cycle. Breaking out of it, or even finding liberation, becomes impossible."
The high priest in black robes looked at the chaotic scene around him and explained the situation to Lin Yu.
"In this Netherworld Immortal Realm, humans, wild beasts, and even the dead coexist. The strong may not survive to the end, and the weak may not die first. What matters here is not just strength, but also wisdom!"
Suddenly, the black-robed high priest thought of the Daoist priest of Shouyang.
"Speaking of which, when I came to the Netherworld Immortal Realm before, I heard rumors about Daoist Shouyang. It is said that in his previous era, he was a complete weakling, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a good-for-nothing."
"But it is truly remarkable that such a cultivator can remain in this Netherworld Immortal Realm for so many years."
"What good was the strength of the previous generation's experts? They've all turned to dust. Only this Daoist Shouyang remains. I wonder what the previous generation's experts would think if they saw this." The black-robed high priest said.
Lin Yu shook his head upon hearing this. "Actually, that's not entirely true. For the strong, what's more important is leaving a mark on this world, not just surviving."
"There are countless loyal and virtuous heroes in this world who do nothing but punish evil and promote good. If it's for the sake of upholding justice, what does it matter if it means physical death?"
"Lord of the Palace, your words are quite powerful! Now that you mention it, it is indeed true."
"What's the point of a cultivator to merely survive? It's nothing more than upholding the principles in their hearts!"
Upon hearing this, the high priest in black robes felt a surge of pride.
Lin Yu smiled upon hearing this. In fact, what he had just said was a combination of the "chivalrous spirit" from Earth, not a complete concept of a cultivator.
Don't be fooled by the black-robed high priest's seemingly agreeable words now; in reality, when faced with a life-or-death situation, how could he possibly uphold justice?
And putting everything else aside, didn't he just use the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Stone to protect the ancient Phoenix Clan?
However, Lin Yu had no intention of undermining him at the moment, so he simply smiled and remained silent. He also knew that the black-robed high priest had indeed been acting against his will at the time.
As the black-robed high priest and Lin Yu walked and talked, Lin Yu led the black-robed high priest with almost no detours, guided by the Hongmeng System.
Before arriving in the Netherworld Immortal Realm, the black-robed high priest thought the biggest trouble would be finding Daoist Shouyang. Little did he expect that soon after arriving in the Netherworld Immortal Realm, Lin Yu would say that he had already deduced Daoist Shouyang's specific identity.
This move truly astonished the black-robed high priest.
Having already witnessed Lin Yu's astonishing abilities, the black-robed high priest gradually accepted the fact after a brief moment of shock.
No wonder Lin Yu was so confident at the beginning; it turns out that it was all because he had complete confidence in his divination skills!
Furthermore, the black-robed high priest also discovered that along the way, under Lin Yu's guidance, the two of them had at most witnessed other people's battles, but had never been involved in them.
Upon closer reflection, it must be that Lin Yu deliberately avoided these in his planned route.
"Your Highness, you appear so young, yet you are already so proficient in divination methods. You are truly a hidden master..." The black-robed high priest looked at Lin Yu with renewed respect.
This method of deduction is the most difficult magic to cultivate, and it is said that revealing the Heavenly Dao will lead to various heavenly punishments. However, seeing Lin Yu's seemingly effortless demeanor is quite puzzling.
