• He Buxian cautiously watched six or seven powerful demonic beasts gathered inside the cave and realized their spiritual power was abnormal.
• He Buxian concealed his presence, entered the cave, and searched deeper after failing to understand the beasts’ communication.

When Red Peak Gang disciples arrived and the strange pressure vanished, they blamed He Buxian for the Grand Elder’s death, leaving him struggling to defend himself.

• The Grand Elder’s eyes suddenly became lively before the courtyard transformed into a snow-covered mountain that pressed down on He Buxian and slowed his spiritual power.

• Lin Yu sensed He Buxian’s presence vanish and return, and felt a deep fear from the power that had surrounded him.
• Lin Yu asked the system to trace the Chaos Qi, but it could not find a source.

• Lin Yu let the mist surround him while he probed it with his spiritual power.
• The system identified the black mist as sharing a source with the Heaven-Mending Fragment and said an Origin Technique could neutralize it.

Lin Yu investigated the black mist and discovered it had formed a puppet called the Dark Armor Ferocious Tiger. After her usual attacks failed, the system revealed that the puppet could be defeated by destroying its internal weak points, and Lin Yu shrank herself and entered its mouth.

• Lin Yu asked the system to analyze the black mist’s connection to the Heaven-Mending Fragment, but it reported insufficient permissions.
• The black mist formed into a Dark Armor Ferocious Tiger, which the system identified as a 40,000-year-old puppet.

• The system advised Lin Yu to collect Archaic Phoenix Clan essence blood to unlock puppet-related permissions, then explained that puppets could be defeated by destroying their internal weak points.
• Lin Yu shrank herself and entered the Dark Armor Ferocious Tiger’s mouth to attack it from within.

Lin Yu entered the Dark Armor Ferocious Tiger and dismantled its Five-Element Puppet Technique by destroying its organs in the required order. After the puppet broke apart, a Forget-Sorrow Flower released smoke that overcame Lin Yu and took control of his body.

• The Dark Armor Ferocious Tiger weakened and broke apart after Lin Yu destroyed its final organ.
• A Forget-Sorrow Flower emerged from the puppet's remains and released cyan smoke that Lin Yu breathed in.
• The smoke spread through Lin Yu's origin, his consciousness grew hazy, and he lost control of his body.

Lin Yu fell into a strange, strength-draining sleep in the Phoenix Ancestral Sea, but a red-haired girl woke him with a unicorn’s tears. As Lin Yu questioned her about the forbidden ground and sought information about his mission, the system finally awakened.

• Lin Yu asked the girl her name while trying to learn why he was there and continue searching for Feng Lingling and the Archaic Phoenix Clan’s Heaven-Mending Fragment.
• The system announced that it had awakened.

After recovering from the system’s dormant state, Lin Yu learned that breaking seals from the Hongmeng Zero Era had caused the backlash. He met Feng Nianzhi, a pure-blooded Archaic Phoenix, and tried to persuade her to help him find Feng Lingling while he recovered in the forbidden ground.

• Lin Yu learned that the Dark Armor Ferocious Tiger’s internal seals came from the Hongmeng Zero Era and that breaking them had caused the system’s backlash.

• Lin Yu explained that he was searching for his disciple Feng Lingling, but Feng Nianzhi said she had never heard of her.
• Lin Yu claimed he could not move because of the black mist, and Feng Nianzhi sent healing spiritual power into his body and offered to ask around.

Lin Yu discovered that he had arrived in the Dao Enlightenment Era, where the system detected traces of a Heaven-Mending Fragment. Feng Nianzhi brought him into the Archaic Phoenix Clan and presented him to Grandpa Priest, whose cold gaze fell on the weakened Lin Yu.

• Lin Yu learned from the system that he was in the Dao Enlightenment Era and that traces of a Heaven-Mending Fragment were present.
• Feng Nianzhi led Lin Yu through the Archaic Phoenix Clan's community and opened a barrier to take him inside.
• The system warned Lin Yu of an unknown mission with a danger level of five, and he speculated about how the Hongmeng System had changed over time.
• Feng Nianzhi introduced Lin Yu to Grandpa Priest as a poor little thing she had found outside.
• Grandpa Priest sized up Lin Yu, whose power had been constrained by the laws of the Great Dao.

Lin Yu entered the Phoenix Ancestral Sea after Feng Nianzhi saved him, and the black-robed elder interrogated him before allowing him to stay.

• Lin Yu explored the Phoenix Ancestral Sea and noticed that his system permissions had increased after a few days there.
• Lin Yu tested the system's silence about the Three Thousand Immortal Worlds and concluded that it could not answer questions about events beyond its era.

The black-robed priest entered Lin Yu’s mental space to investigate his hidden strength and demand his purpose for staying in the Archaic Phoenix Clan’s territory. Lin Yu fought back while trying to protect his mental space and avoid provoking the clan, and the battle continued with Lin Yu confident that the space favored him.

• The black-robed priest secretly watched Lin Yu for days before entering his mental space to investigate him.
• Lin Yu blocked the priest and admitted that he had been suppressing his origin power, but claimed he had only come to visit and arrived by chance.
• The black-robed priest accused Lin Yu of being an enemy of the Phoenix Clan and attacked him in his mental space.
• Lin Yu contained the priest’s flames with a barrier and weighed the risk that injuring him would turn the clan against Lin Yu.
• Lin Yu reminded the priest that attacking inside his mental space was like breaking ground on the Grand Duke’s head.

• Lin Yu secretly weakened his mental space while relying on a hidden Origin Technique to make the black-robed priest suffer backlash as he damaged it.
• After more than a hundred exchanges, the black-robed priest became badly injured and realized he could not gain the upper hand.
• Lin Yu concluded the system’s danger rating did not account for his own strength and told the priest he had no hostile intentions toward the Phoenix Clan.
• Lin Yu warned the priest that he could have killed him for intruding into his sea of consciousness, then explained he would stay peacefully until resolving his situation and leave afterward.
• The black-robed priest withdrew from Lin Yu’s territory.

The black-robed priest trapped Lin Yu in a deadly yellow-sand realm to punish him for entering Phoenix Clan territory. Lin Yu resolved to escape and teach the priest a lesson for his repeated provocations.

• The black-robed priest used a special artifact to send Lin Yu into a vast yellow-sand realm.
• The priest declared that Lin Yu would have to survive the trial and return to the Phoenix Clan or die in the desert.
• The priest revealed that he had sent many unwelcome cultivators into the realm, where none had escaped alive.
• Lin Yu grew irritated rather than frightened and decided to punish the priest once he got out.

Lin Yu used the system to identify the yellow-sand space as a crevice in the Phoenix Ancestral Sea containing residual energy from a Heaven-Mending Fragment, but the system could not reveal how to escape because authorization was insufficient. After realizing the space drained and imprisoned outsiders, Lin Yu played a white jade flute, causing the yellow sand to move under his control.

• Lin Yu asked the system to identify the space and explain how to escape, and it revealed the space lay in the Phoenix Ancestral Sea and held residual energy from a Heaven-Mending Fragment.
• Lin Yu asked whether a special method was needed to escape, but the system returned an insufficient-authorization notice.
• Lin Yu explored the space and found no living beings besides himself, then reasoned that its spiritual power drained life force and trapped outsiders.

• The yellow sand and haze started dancing under the flute's control.
