In short, under Lin Yu's guidance, the two of them arrived at the cave dwelling of the Daoist Shouyang without taking any detours or encountering any danger.

When Lin Yu and the Black-Robed High Priest arrived, Lin Yu used a special method to bring Feng Nianzhi out. At this moment, she is staying in Lin Yu's storage space.

Originally, there was no need for such trouble; Feng Nianzhi could have simply followed Lin Yu and the Black-Robed High Priest obediently.

However, the moment Feng Nianzhi left the Phoenix Ancestral Sea, the seal within her body suddenly erupted with an extremely powerful force, causing quite a commotion in the Phoenix Ancestral Sea.

Lin Yu and the Black-Robed High Priest then realized that the seal within Feng Nianzhi's body had fallen below its limit.

According to the restrictions of that seal, Feng Nianzhi could never leave the Phoenix Ancestral Sea for the rest of her life; otherwise, the seal within her body would break free and she would self-destruct.

Even with the strength of the Black-Robed High Priest or Lin Yu, the self-destruction inside the body was unavoidable.

Even the Black-Robed High Priest was only now learning this, for the reason that he had never taken Feng Nianzhi away from the Phoenix Ancestral Sea in all these years!

If he hadn't tried it once, the Black-Robed High Priest wouldn't have known that the seal had such limitations.

In other words, this adorable Phoenix Lord has always been a shut-in!

Fortunately, Lin Yu was traveling with them. When he sensed that Feng Nianzhi's body was about to collapse, Lin Yu reacted extremely quickly, compressing all of her power into his body and storing it in his storage space.

The storage space has the ability to limit the leakage of spiritual energy, making it the best thing to use to protect Feng Nianzhi.

Under Lin Yu's forceful suppression, the seal within Feng Nianzhi's body was once again obediently forced back into his body.

As long as the seal cannot sense the flow of power outside the Phoenix Ancestral Sea, there will be no danger.

The Daoist Shouyang's cave was incredibly strange; it was actually a real mountain cave.

From the outside, the cave appears to be a naturally formed, rugged, and uneven formation.

The Black-Robed High Priest and Lin Yu continued forward, only to find that the cave had suddenly opened up, becoming a thousand times more spacious than before.

"Boom... Boom... Boom..."

Before Lin Yu and the Black-Robed High Priest could even appreciate the scene inside the outer cave, they encountered a formidable obstacle.

This person didn't seem particularly special, except for the strange-looking magical artifacts he was holding in his hands.

Of course, there's not much to say about that magical artifact; its strangeness is obvious to everyone.

"This person must be the guard protecting Daoist Shouyang. I didn't expect Daoist Shouyang to have a guard," the Black-Robed High Priest couldn't help but say.

In fact, if it weren't for Lin Yu's guidance, the Black-Robed High Priest Daoist Shouyang would have been lost and would have ended up somewhere else entirely.

It was only because Lin Yu had brought him here that the Black-Robed High Priest believed this was the residence of Daoist Shouyang.

Otherwise, the Black-Robed High Priest would surely suspect that the other party had brought him to the wrong place.

"This Daoist Shouyang might have been a good-for-nothing in the last era, but now he's become a permanent fixture in the Youming Immortal World, and he even has guards now," Lin Yu thought to himself with a sigh.

However, firmly anchoring oneself in this Youming Immortal World doesn't seem to be such a simple matter. It's clear that Daoist Shouyang also relied on some external forces to ensure his safety.

Otherwise, given the perilous nature of the Youming Immortal World, that Daoist Shouyang, famous for his incompetence during the Dao Qi era, would probably have been beheaded long ago.

"This is forbidden territory. Who are you? If you dare to take a step forward, you will be killed without mercy!"

After saying that, a terrifying killing intent was released from the guard in front of him. The guard had a ferocious face, held chains in his hand, and stood in the cave with a cold expression.

They seemed unsurprised by outsiders like Lin Yu and the Black-Robed High Priest.

Upon closer reflection, the previous era was incredibly mysterious. People like Lin Yu and the Black-Robed High Priest were probably not the first to come to Daoist Shouyang for "instruction." Many others must have come here before.

"Greetings, Your Excellency. I am the High Priest of the Archaic Phoenix Clan, and I have come here to pay my respects to Daoist Shouyang!" the Black-Robed High Priest said politely.

Although he was a member of the Archaic Phoenix Clan, he had come to ask for a favor, so his tone was much more polite and he wasn't as arrogant as he had been in the Phoenix Ancestral Sea.

Lin Yu listened from the side, deeply moved. If someone who knew the Black-Robed High Priest were to witness this scene, they would be utterly astonished. Could such a humble fellow truly be the arrogant high priest of the Archaic Phoenix Clan?

Regardless, the person before him was at least one of the last remaining cultivators from the previous era, and since he had come with a request, it was natural to be polite.

The Black-Robed High Priest had already shown considerable respect to the other party, treating them with utmost courtesy.

Little did the Black-Robed High Priest know that his rare display of humility was met with a rebuff; the guard with the chains simply didn't appreciate his politeness.

Forget about being polite; they didn't even seem to care about your status as Archaic Phoenix Clan. The guard with the chains simply said coldly, "A Daoist doesn't treat outsiders. Go back to where you came from!"

That was a rather blunt remark, and the guard seemed unsatisfied after saying just one sentence.

"Boom!"

As the guard took a step forward, a tremendous and invisible force was generated out of thin air, cracking a clear fissure in the ground in front of Lin Yu and the Black-Robed High Priest, seemingly as a warning to them.

"Take one more step, and you will be killed without mercy!" the guard holding the chains said, enunciating each word clearly.

Clearly, if Lin Yu or the Black-Robed High Priest were to step across that rift, the other party would not hesitate to attack.

Despite the threat, Lin Yu remained calm and composed, even managing a slight smile.

To be honest, Lin Yu's elegant white-robed gentleman image is quite out of place in this Youming Immortal World.

His smile at that moment made him seem even less threatening.

However, Lin Yu's actions were quite the opposite. He stepped directly across the crack and said calmly, "Since that's the case, then I'll have to offend you."

With a firm tone, Lin Yu had no intention of wasting words with the other party. The moment he took a step forward, he had already struck out with a palm.

"Boom!"

He struck out with a palm, carrying an earth-shattering force.

It was just a crack, and you thought you could stop him, the Hall Master of the Primordial Hall?
