Listening to Feng Changge's eloquent words, He Buxian felt helpless.

"Indeed, the barrier's power weakened after you ignited your Phoenix True Fire. But didn't you notice anything else?"

"After your Phoenix True Fire was completely absorbed, did the power of this barrier slowly revert back to its original state?"

"Well, actually, the power of this barrier is extremely similar to the properties of this land. On the surface, it seems that your flames weaken its power when they burn on it, but in reality, if you stop even for a moment..."

You'll be pleasantly surprised to find that the barrier has returned to its original state!

"In short, this is just an illusion that's wasting your energy. I advise you to do what I did and lie down properly; that way you can conserve some energy."

He Buxian said weakly, feeling even more tired after speaking such a long passage.

Seeing He Buxian's half-dead state, Feng Changge felt displeased and immediately said, "What's the use of conserving energy? Are you just waiting for those insects to crawl up and become their nourishment?"

He Buxian thought to himself, "This young man is really impetuous, but in reality, he's too lazy to bother with Fengchang Pavilion anymore."

He had said everything he needed to say; whether Feng Changge was willing to listen or not was his own business.

After thinking about it for so long, He Buxian has figured it out. Feng Changge is just that kind of person—stubborn to the point of being stubborn and won't give up until he hits a brick wall!

As for the fallen black phoenix on the other side, it was already clear to everyone.

After He Buxian finished speaking, he actually lay down obediently.

Although the Fallen Black Phoenix did not answer He Buxian's question, his actions showed that he agreed with what He Buxian said.

Seeing the fallen black phoenix in this state, Feng Changge felt a surge of anger.

He Buxian was helpless, but the Fallen Black Phoenix was, after all, one of his former kin, yet she acted as if she had done her best and left the rest to fate. What kind of behavior was that?

"Hey, you there... I said! Fallen Black Phoenix!" Feng Changge didn't know how to address Fallen Black Phoenix for a moment, and after hesitating for a long time, he simply called him by his code name.

"You were once a member of our ancient Phoenix clan, don't you know that the most important thing for our clan is to protect our Phoenix Lord?"

"Right now, our most important task in the Netherworld is to protect Lady Phoenix. You... you used to be the one who specialized in breaking seals, can't you find a way to let me out?"

Feng Changge's words left the Fallen Black Phoenix both amused and exasperated; the conversation seemed strangely familiar!

It seems this kid is really about to go crazy, otherwise he wouldn't have come running over here begging him in such a humble manner.

But they had already discussed this issue. If the Fallen Black Phoenix had the ability to break through the barrier and escape, he certainly wouldn't stay still.

Because he tried everything and found there was no other way, he made the same choice as He Buxian: to lie down and wait for rescue.

The Fallen Black Phoenix's idea was quite simple: the body she was currently using was that of Feng Yaoyang, one of Lin Yu Hongmeng's disciples.

I might not be that close to Lin Yu, but Lin Yu couldn't possibly abandon a disciple like me.

Moreover, given Lin Yu's strength, facing that water droplet man might not be a problem at all.

Before this, Lin Yu's biggest concern was not being able to deal with the Water Droplets, but rather being unable to erase the Water Droplets' consciousness while ensuring the Sky-Mending Fragments remained intact.

The Phoenix True Fire of Fengchang Pavilion clearly gave Lin Yu hope for this idea.

Ultimately, while the Phoenix True Fire of Fengchang Pavilion is needed, there's no rush to use it. As for the Water Drop Man, the Fallen Black Phoenix believes that with Lin Yu's abilities, he can handle him alone.

If the three of them went with him, they might not only fail to help Lin Yu, but they might also be captured by that waterdrop person and held hostage.

The Fallen Black Phoenix had already considered this point, but when He Buxian wanted to take Feng Changge with him to help Lin Yu, the Fallen Black Phoenix still did not refuse.

The reason was simple: he had a premonition that there would be a very exciting battle between Lin Yu and the water droplet man, and he simply wanted to go and watch the excitement.

Perhaps this battle will provide some inspiration for his future training.

"That Lin Yu guy, even if he's ruthless to me, he couldn't possibly be so ruthless to his disciples and followers. He'll come over sooner or later after we've dealt with the Water Droplets." The Fallen Black Phoenix calculated.

In fact, He Buxian also placed his hopes on the Palace Master.

He kept the Hongmeng Token that Lin Yu had given him in his hand.

The Primordial Token had already lit up once before. According to Lin Yu, the Primordial Token could only help them avert one disaster.

But after arriving in this Netherworld Immortal Realm, Lin Yu, while at the residence of Daoist Shouyang, unexpectedly gave him another Primordial Token.

At the time, He Buxian did not understand what it meant. Even when he asked Lin Yu, Lin Yu only said, "In case of emergency," without giving He Buxian any further explanation.

The fact that the Primordial Token hasn't lit up yet can only mean one thing: the danger he's facing hasn't reached the point of threatening his life.

"Perhaps it's better to stay within this barrier now. Even if I encounter danger, this Primordial Token will protect me." He Buxian stroked the patterns on the Primordial Token with relief.

However, Feng Changge did not consider these factors at all. He really thought that he was an indispensable presence in the battle, and that Lin Yu was relying entirely on his flames to obtain the Heaven-Mending Fragment.

"That Lin Yu, if he needed my flame, why didn't he bring me along himself? Instead, he had the two of you carry me!" Feng Changge continued to complain.

Although he was quite dissatisfied with Lin Yu, Lin Yu's strength was far greater, which made him somewhat more at ease.

After He Buxian explained the reason for the seal to Feng Changge, he still didn't believe it and tried it several more times. As a result, he found that it was really just as He Buxian said. His flames would indeed cause the power of the barrier to dissipate the moment they hit the barrier.

However, once the flames dissipate, the barrier's power will return to its original state.

"Wait, I heard a noise coming from the crack in the ground!"
