When Lin Yu first entered the illusionary space constructed from those fragments, he didn't really think there was anything special about it, after all, Lin Yu had encountered a similar situation before.
But now that I think about it carefully, that place is really not flattering; it's practically a barren wasteland with nothing at all.
Rather than describing it as a world constructed by the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Stone, it would be more accurate to describe it as another small-scale Netherworld Immortal Realm.
It seems that the environment really does have a significant impact on the fragments of the Sky-Mending Stone.
This fragment of the sky-mending technique likely absorbed the malevolent energy of the Netherworld Immortal Realm itself, which is why such a strange spirit beast grew from it.
Lin Yu's purpose in visiting He Buxian and the Fallen Black Phoenix was to make them realize the seriousness of the problem and, incidentally, to discuss with them how to deal with this fragment of the Heaven-Mending Piece.
He Buxian may be able to offer limited help, but the Fallen Black Phoenix is a cultivator of this world. No matter how much he doesn't care about the Heaven-Mending Fragments, he must have heard some rumors about them back then.
Right now, what Lin Yu needs most is information about the Heaven-Mending Fragments!
"The fragments of the Netherworld Immortal Realm that mended the heavens have now developed a semi-mature spiritual consciousness. If we don't eliminate and subdue them soon, things will get really bad."
"Absorbing other fragments of the Heaven-Mending technique is a minor matter, but I see that the consciousness of those fragments seems to be influenced by the malevolent energy of the Netherworld Immortal Realm, and is filled with strangeness."
"In that case, the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Stone might not be of any use in the great cataclysm to come."
"Even if that fragment of the Heaven-Mending Stone went to devour other fragments and temporarily abandoned us, it's still bad news."
"If Zhihu absorbs more power to strengthen the Heaven-Mending Fragment itself, then this Heaven-Mending Fragment in our hands will truly become a hot potato."
Lin Yu said.
Upon hearing this, Fallen Black Phoenix and He Buxian could only nod.
He Buxian, on the other hand, was secretly sweating for himself. If even the powerful Palace Master could be threatened by the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Stone, what chance did he have?
That's how it was. Back then, I even overestimated myself and wanted to stay behind to deal with the Heaven-Mending Fragment alone. I was so confident!
"Lord of the Palace, are the attacks from the Netherworld Immortal Realm's Heaven-Mending Fragments primarily targeting spiritual power?" He Buxian asked.
Lin Yu nodded upon hearing this. "That's right. To be precise, it's spiritual power or soul power. Because that fragment of the Heaven-Mending Sword will directly extract your soul and guide it into the illusionary space."
"You will face the fragments of the Heaven-Mending Stone when you have abundant spiritual energy. However, abundant spiritual energy only applies to your physical body; how much power your soul can possess is uncertain."
He Buxian looked even more worried after hearing this.
"So how exactly did that Heaven-Mending Fragment succeed in its attack? Tell me, so that this kid and I can be prepared," the Fallen Black Phoenix asked.
If the opponent could succeed against a master like Lin Yu, how could they possibly deal with two small fry like themselves and He Buxian?
If you really get serious, wouldn't it be a piece of cake?
Upon hearing this, Lin Yu shook his head, indicating that he did not know.
To be honest, this is something Lin Yu is extremely curious about right now.
That was the exact timing for taking the Heaven-Mending Fragment.
"I don't know exactly when I made the move. But the only thing I'm sure of is that I was cultivating when the fragment of the Heaven-Mending Stone was taken. I was extremely focused at the time and neglected to observe my surroundings."
If I had been more careful back then, I might not have encountered what happened later.
"Perhaps it was because I was too focused on one thing that that mysterious force took advantage of my weakness."
"You two must be extra careful from now on. Don't let your guard down until we uncover the force behind this."
Lin Yu gave instructions to He Buxian and the Fallen Black Phoenix.
"As for that mysterious power, it manifests as a water droplet, and it can transform from that shape into a human form," Lin Yu continued.
Although he could sense that the mysterious power's language and actions were not far behind those of ordinary cultivators, Lin Yu could also sense from his spiritual power that the other party was almost fully mature.
This means that the mysterious power will soon appear in the form of a complete human cultivator, and it is very likely that it will look very different from the water droplet people that Lin Yu encountered before.
Finding him then will likely be even more difficult.
"So what are your thoughts on this?" the Fallen Black Phoenix asked Lin Yu.
In fact, he could vaguely sense that Lin Yu might already have a solution to this matter, otherwise he wouldn't have come to find him and He Buxian.
Being completely ignorant of everything is not like Lin Yu at all.
He couldn't just stand there staring at each other.
Before Lin Yu could say anything, members of the ancient Phoenix Clan came knocking on his door.
Actually, they first went to Lin Yu's residence but couldn't find him. Then they came to He Buxian's and the Fallen Black Phoenix's residences, only to find Lin Yu there.
The purpose of these people's trip was obvious: to deal with the young man from the Phoenix Clan who had been bound by Lin Yu.
They had seen Lin Yu's restraints and had no way to resolve them, so they had no choice but to humbly approach Lin Yu, hoping he would show leniency and let the young man go.
"Lord Lin Yu, that boy knows he was wrong. Please, for the sake of our clan's High Priest, let him go! We swear that we will keep a close eye on him and discipline him properly from now on, and we will never allow him to speak so arrogantly to you again."
The cultivators of the ancient Phoenix Clan spoke with great politeness, unlike that hot-blooded young man. Although they didn't know the specific details, they all knew that Lin Yu had helped the ancient Phoenix Clan a great deal.
Putting aside everything else, the matter of Lord Phoenix has been troubling their ancient Phoenix clan for a long time. When even the Black-Robed High Priest was powerless to help, it was Lin Yu who provided them with assistance.
That alone was enough for them to treat Lin Yu as an honored guest.
However, this matter was quite a secret among the ancient Phoenix Clan, and the younger members of the clan naturally did not know about it, which is why they spoke so carelessly to Lin Yu.
As for the remaining members of the clan, they knew a little about this matter, which is why they were able to appreciate Lin Yu's strength.
