"Thousands of years have passed, and the fragment that accidentally fell into the jujube tree has clearly become the master of the Early Red Essence."
"The fragments of the Heaven-Mending Fragment merely circulate their own power, living within the jujube tree, which enables it to grow fruit that provides power. However, it's clear that the Heaven-Mending Fragment also needs energy, and can you guess where this energy comes from?"
"From this earthly world?!" He Buxian immediately realized the answer Lin Yu wanted.
Lin Yu nodded immediately upon hearing this. "That's right. As long as one comes to the ground and possesses a certain amount of Origin Technique power, this Heaven-Mending Fragment will absorb the power of the corresponding cultivator."
"However, this level of suction power won't actually harm anyone."
"Fundamentally, once you leave this place, the restrictions on your body will automatically be lifted, thus restoring all your Source Arts power."
Lin Yu continued to explain the reasons behind it.
Upon hearing this, He Buxian felt a jolt throughout his body and couldn't help but ask, "Lord Palace Master, have you found another fragment of the Heaven-Mending Fragment? What exactly is going on?"
"We originally thought that the Water Droplets remained here in the form of fragments from mending the sky, causing some impact on this land. But now, it seems that what's making this area unusual is another fragment from mending the sky?"
"Wouldn't that present us with yet another challenge? Does that new fragment of the sky-mending structure possess intelligence, just like the Water Droplets?"
He Buxian couldn't help but ask, and after Lin Yu's explanation, they seemed to have found the answers to many of the problems.
However, at the same time, more problems surfaced, causing He Buxian a great deal of trouble.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yu understood He Buxian's meaning. In fact, if it weren't for the occurrence of another fragment of the sky-mending technique in the underground world, he would have thought that the Water Droplets had lured them to this place to trap them and kill them.
Perhaps the Water Drop people wanted to transform this land into a killer, directly solving the huge problem they had created for them.
Before this, not only He Buxian, but even Lin Yu thought that this land should be the base of the Water Drop people, the source of their power.
But who could have imagined that another fragment of the sky-mending technique was hidden in this place!
"Since there is another fragment of the sky-mending technique, why didn't the Water Droplet Man try to fuse it together with the other fragment?"
"After all, the Water Droplets have possessed intelligence for quite some time, and when they saw your fragment of the Heaven-Mending Stone, they clearly had a strong desire for its power."
"The Fallen Black Phoenix asked strangely."
From this perspective, the Waterdrop Man's various behaviors simply don't make sense.
When the Water Droplet Man saw the Heaven-Mending Fragment that Lin Yu brought from the Phoenix Ancestral Sea, his first reaction was to devour it and absorb the power of the other Heaven-Mending Fragment.
But if the Water Droplings themselves knew the location of the other fragment of the Heaven-Mending Stone, how could they have coexisted with him in this place for so long without ever considering devouring him?
Even Lin Yu himself cannot explain this matter at present.
After all, it concerns the people of Waterdrop, yet many mysteries remain unsolved.
Even Lin Yu currently only knows that the Water Drop Man has some connection with the other two fragments of the Heaven-Mending Stone.
But just as the Fallen Black Phoenix said, the Water Droplets clearly craved the power of the Heaven-Mending Fragment, so why didn't they set their sights on this particular fragment?
In comparison, wouldn't a powerful figure like Lin Yu be even more difficult to deal with?
Why would the Water Droplets abandon a relatively easy target and instead turn their attention to the Rhine?
All of this seems to suggest that for the Waterdrop People, targeting Lin Yu would be an even easier task!
Although it is unknown when the power of this fragment of the Heaven-Mending Tree was formed, there is no doubt that the fragment growing in the jujube tree also possesses the ability to protect itself!
However, questions about the specific nature of this ability and when it was generated still puzzled Lin Yu.
Of course, Lin Yu didn't want to find the answer immediately. He knew that many questions needed time to be proven, and perhaps only time could give her a clear answer.
Lin Yu is now waiting for the Phoenix Pavilion's Origin Fire to completely erase the power of the Water Drop Man, which may solve many of the things that puzzle them.
After listening to Lin Yu recount these events, He Buxian felt a pang of regret.
He thought that if he had gone down with the Palace Master from the beginning, he might have been able to witness the process of the fragment being subdued.
Although He Buxian had always been by the Palace Master's side, he only knew that the Palace Master had subdued the Heaven-Mending Fragments time and time again, but he had never witnessed this scene with his own eyes, which made He Buxian feel very regretful.
These stones used to mend the heavens are treasures from the Dao Qi era. If I could examine the shape, form, and changes of these unfilled stones after they fell into these places for so many years, it might be helpful to my own power.
"That's why I brought this little guy along," Lin Yu concluded. "This little guy has lived in the underground world for so many years, relying entirely on that jujube tree to survive."
"It's not hard to imagine that the jujube tree itself had some influence on his situation, to the point that he looks different from ordinary monkeys outside."
"Although this little fellow cannot be considered a cultivator, he possesses a degree of intelligence. It would be against human ethics to let this little thing starve to death in the underground world."
"Why not bring him out here and let him see the world, so he can readjust to it?"
As he spoke, Lin Yu reached out and touched the black and gold monkey.
The black and gold monkey seemed quite affectionate towards Lin Yu, behaving extremely obediently in Lin Yu presence, clearly having no reservations about Lin Yu.
Under Lin Yu's caress, the originally stiff black-gold fur gradually became incredibly soft.
All of this indicates that the black and gold monkey has already accepted Lin Yu's identity in its heart and regards him as its master.
Lin Yu's original plan was to release it back into its pack, but the black-gold monkey was very clingy and stayed by Lin Yu 'Lin Yu side the whole time, seemingly determined not to leave.
