When Lin Yu opened his eyes again, the scene before him had completely changed.
The original green grass and bamboo have been transformed into a cold, high platform, which is entirely a cold, grayish-black color, displaying an indescribable solemnity.
Lin Yu finally regained control of his body, but he felt as if his body was still stiff.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that he was actually bound by chains on the high platform.
At this moment, Lin Yu's hands and feet were quietly bound, the chains like ancient ice, bringing him excruciating pain.
The chains didn't completely immobilize Lin Yu; they left him some room to move.
Of course, this area of activity is limited; Lin Yu cannot leave the platform at will, because the chains have been completely secured inside the platform.
Lin Yu walked to the edge of the platform and looked out, but all he could see was endless darkness, making it impossible to discern the specific details of the surface.
Lin Yu tried to struggle with his arms, only to find that he could only move his body within a limited range. If he went beyond that range, he would be tightly bound by the chains.
Lin Yu frowned, his first reaction was to try to call upon the Hongmeng System, but unfortunately, the system once again became a coward and did not respond at all.
This situation didn't particularly disappoint Lin Yu, after all, he had faced danger more than once or twice, and each time he faced such a dangerous situation, the system remained silent.
Therefore, Lin Yu would be surprised if the system reacted this time.
The next second, Lin Yu tried to mobilize his spiritual power to break free of the chains. In his memory, when he regained consciousness, his spiritual power had already resumed its circulation.
However, Lin Yu's spiritual power had no effect, and the chains remained completely still.
"Could it be that the resumption of spiritual energy circulation was just my imagination?" This result left Lin Yu somewhat bewildered, after all, he had just witnessed the spiritual energy begin to flow.
If Lin Yu is not mistaken, the chains binding him should be made of black iron, which is not only extremely cold but also incredibly hard.
If Lin Yu were in a state where his spiritual energy was abundant, breaking free from the Xuan Iron would not have been a problem at all. However, now that Lin Yu's body is bound and he has lost his spiritual energy, breaking free is extremely difficult.
Fortunately, only his spiritual power was restricted; Lin Yu could still use his mental power. However, he could only use his mental power to investigate his surroundings and could not launch any attacks.
Lin Yu carefully sensed his surroundings and discovered that the only noteworthy part of his body was the storage space where he kept the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Stone.
When all the magical artifacts lost their luster, only the fragment of the sky-mending artifact emitted a faint light, as if it had sensed something.
Before Lin Yu could calm down and carefully observe what was happening, the black iron chains on the high platform suddenly began to shake.
"Boom... Boom... Boom..."
Not only the black iron chains, but the entire platform shook uncontrollably as if it had been hit by an earthquake. With this violent tremor, the black iron chains on Lin Yu's hands and feet were slightly deformed.
Everything happened so suddenly that Lin Yu didn't even have time to think.
Heaven knows, Lin Yu was simply sitting in his residence, quietly meditating and sorting out his meridians, when suddenly the world underwent a tremendous change.
"Wait!" Suddenly, a thought Spirit Light, and he realized something.
Lin Yu seemed to have heard of similar experiences regarding this inexplicable situation before.
This experience comes from He Buxian!
According to what He Buxian said before, when He Buxian was forcibly controlled by that mysterious force, he was unable to move at all, and the scene in front of him changed drastically and was completely unfamiliar.
However, according to He Buxian, what he saw at the time was a sky full of snow, while what Lin Yu saw now was a strange high platform.
"Could it be that that mysterious force is also trying to control me?" Thinking of this, Lin Yu almost laughed out loud.
He stayed in the Netherworld Immortal Realm for so long just to wait for that mysterious power to appear.
Who would have thought that after searching for that mysterious power for so long without finding any clues, that mysterious power would actually come to them on its own?
It's like waiting for a rabbit to run into a tree stump; you get it without any effort at all!
Next, all I need to do is focus on dealing with the current predicament and breaking through it, and I will be able to find clues about that mysterious power.
If we're lucky, we might be able to capture that mysterious power directly.
Lin Yu tried to move the fragment of the Sky-Mending Stone that was emitting a faint light in his storage space. He had a premonition that this fragment would become an important clue to turn the tide.
When Lin Yu's own spiritual power and movements were restricted, only this fragment appeared to be operating freely.
However, Lin Yu soon discovered that he was not in a position to easily control the fragments that mended the heavens.
Although Lin Yu had already cleaned all the impurities off the Heaven-Mending Fragment, the current situation was clearly very special, and Lin Yu was unable to establish a connection with the Heaven-Mending Fragment for the time being.
Gradually, Lin Yu's forehead began to sweat, and not only his forehead, but his entire body began to be covered in cold sweat.
Before an incense stick's time had passed, Lin Yu's entire body felt as if it had been washed with water, and all his clothes clung to his skin.
Using mental power in this place seemed even more difficult, which made Lin Yu anxious.
At the same time, Lin Yu felt a distinct heat rising from the bottom of his heart.
The platform was freezing cold, with no wind or light, yet Lin Yu still broke out in a sweat.
"Hoo..." Lin Yu took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.
Anyone who finds themselves in such a strange space would be filled with worry and restlessness.
If Lin Yu hadn't possessed exceptionally strong mental power, he would likely have lost consciousness long ago.
Ordinary cultivators would feel exhausted even from the slightest movement, let alone normal actions. Lin Yu's current condition is already quite good.
The black iron binding Lin Yu's body did not appear to be ordinary black iron; it also had the effect of suppressing the flow of spiritual energy.
Lin Yu clearly felt that although the spiritual energy in his meridians was intact, it was extremely difficult to use it.
"I absolutely cannot give up here so easily!" Lin Yu thought to himself. Then he gritted his teeth, gathered all his mental strength, and began to try to use it to promote the circulation of spiritual energy.
