In fact, if the black-robed high priest hadn't relentlessly pursued Lin Yu and imprisoned him within the barrier formed by the fragment of the Heaven-Mending Stone, Lin Yu probably wouldn't have discovered this fragment.
After all, Lin Yu landed directly inside the ancient Phoenix Clan, which meant he skipped the barrier on the Phoenix Ancestral Sea.
However, the black-robed high priest refused to believe in evil and sent Lin Yu into the barrier again.
However, what the black-robed high priest did not expect was that Lin Yu not only broke through the barrier and escaped, but also directly subdued the fragment of the Heaven-Mending Stone.
"So this is the origin of the Heaven-Mending Fragment in your possession?" He Buxian was utterly shocked after hearing what Lin Yu said.
Compared to his own experience, the Palace Master's situation was extremely perilous, and he couldn't even begin to compare with it.
Lin Yu simply nodded upon hearing this. He didn't care about the dangers and difficulties of the matter; the key was to resolve the current troubles and the system permission issue.
Moreover, if he hadn't obtained this fragment of the Heaven-Mending Piece before, he wouldn't have discovered that the mysterious power was somewhat similar to the collar in the Heaven-Mending Piece.
"At first, I sensed the appearance of that mysterious power, and then I encountered you. Looking back now, I realize that the main target of that mysterious power was probably you; it just happened to release its aura and I sensed it by accident."
"After meeting you, I felt a mysterious power many times, but it wasn't exactly the same as the first time I sensed it. I felt more of the vibration of the fragment of the Heaven-Mending Piece in my hand."
"This fragment of the ancient sky-mending technique was originally a single entity, but it later shattered into nine pieces scattered across the world. Although the fragments still resonate with each other, this connection has become quite weak as the distance increases."
"Only when the distance between them decreases can this sensing be enhanced."
Lin Yu's explanation made He Buxian understand the crux of the problem; no wonder Lin Yu could so casually say, "Let's leave here for now and discuss this further."
It turns out that everything was because as long as Lin Yu had a fragment of the Heaven-Mending Piece, he wouldn't have trouble sensing the power of the other fragment.
Especially after today, he confirmed that the mysterious power was inextricably linked to the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Piece.
"Lord of the Palace, ever since I arrived in this Netherworld Immortal Realm, I have been pursuing this mysterious power."
"Apart from the first time I was completely under his control, this has never happened again."
"But after such a long chase, I haven't sensed the energy contained within the fragments of the sky-mending technique."
He Buxian voiced his doubts. The truth was that he could sense that the fragment of the Heaven-Mending Fragment in Lin Yu's hand contained a power that was extremely familiar to him, but he had never felt this familiarity within that mysterious power before.
Lin Yu continued, "That's easy to explain. It's because the connection between the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Piece is extremely sensitive. As long as they are within a certain range, they will sense something, although it may be very weak."
"You can't sense that mysterious power simply because you don't possess the fragment of the Heaven-Mending Piece."
"As for that mysterious power, it may have already mutated. The mutated fragments of the sky-mending technique are not something that can be easily detected."
He Buxian suddenly realized why he hadn't found anything despite searching for that mysterious power for so long. It was highly likely that the fragment of the Heaven-Mending Stone had undergone a transformation, and its aura had become different from that of the Heaven-Mending Stone, which was why he hadn't noticed it at all.
Even though they are all fragments of the sky-mending materials, after so many years and in different environments, they are very likely to undergo changes that will surprise people.
"The spiritual consciousness within this fragment of the sky-mending technique has been erased by me and purified several times to reach its current state," Lin Yu said, stroking the fragment in his hand.
Although Lin Yu had only kept it in his storage space these past few days, he hadn't neglected to purify it.
In addition to purification, Lin Yu also channeled some spiritual energy into it as nourishment for the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Stone.
After all, once the stone that mended the heavens shattered, the fragments that fell into the world have been developing their own independent operations ever since.
The growth of each fragment of the Heaven-Mending Stone naturally benefits the growth of the entire Heaven-Mending Stone. However, it is a pity that not all spiritual energy is pure spiritual energy.
If, like the previous fragments of the Heaven-Mending Piece, it absorbs impure power, it could very likely affect the future fusion of the fragments.
At that time, there may be repulsion between the various fragments of the Heaven-Mending Fragment. Even if they are forcibly fused, their power may decrease rather than increase.
That's why Lin Yu needs to collect the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Sword and purify them at the same time. Only in this way can the fusion of the Heaven-Mending Sword fragments be smoother in the future.
"If a fragment of the Heaven-Mending Piece truly exists in the Netherworld Immortal Realm, then I must obtain it no matter what," Lin Yu thought to himself, determined to get his hands on it.
Moreover, if we are to acquire the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Piece, this matter cannot be delayed.
After all, we don't know the exact condition of the fragment that mended the sky. If it has been contaminated, it needs to be purified as soon as possible. If we delay even a little, it could lead to irreversible consequences.
If it is not contaminated, that would be a happy outcome for everyone. However, if it is not placed near Lin Yu, there is still a possibility that the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Fragment will be contaminated.
After a thorough explanation, He Buxian was finally relieved.
Once he relaxed, he actually drifted off to sleep.
Seeing He Buxian's exhausted appearance, Lin Yu couldn't help but want to laugh, but remembering the pain he had recently suffered, he immediately said nothing more.
Thinking about it carefully, compared to Lin Yu, He Buxian was just an ordinary person, yet he persisted in the Netherworld Immortal Realm of the Dao Qi era for so many days, not only living a difficult life but also constantly searching for the whereabouts of that mysterious power.
Especially after today, first the monstrous dog, then the dark green insect, it was truly a series of perilous situations.
Now that everything was alright and the Palace Master was right beside him, He Buxian finally relaxed completely. Once he relaxed, he couldn't stop and fell asleep immediately.
Lin Yu didn't say much. He sat cross-legged on the Somersault Cloud, silently circulating his energy to restore his spirit and spiritual power.
Not long after, the two returned to the residence of the Daoist priest of Shouyang on a somersault cloud.
He Buxian was still fast asleep, and Lin Yu did not wake him.
Lin Yu first found a place to settle He Buxian, and then went straight to the residence of the black-robed high priest.
