Seeing this scene, Jack was completely dumbfounded. He looked at his hands in shock, then looked around vigilantly, and fled in panic.
After returning home, Jack looked at his hands in disbelief.
'Heavens, what happened to me? I'm only a 1st Rank Mage and I don't have a magic staff, how could I defeat Jason? He is a 3rd Rank Mage! How could my casting speed and the power of my spells become so powerful?
'I lost to Jason last month, and I didn't even have the power to retaliate. How could my Fireball blow up his Ice Shield this time?'
Jack had a puzzled look on his face. After his routine meditation, Jack revealed a trace of shock.
'Meditation Law Set! 'Damn, it's a Meditation Law Set, a Meditation Law Set from Sir Mafa's library! 'Right, it must be like this, it must be the five-formula Meditation Law Set I chose. It's said that the Flaming Hand doesn't only have five formulas. As long as I advance to the Great Mage realm, I can go to the 2nd floor and look at the last two formulas, and there's also the 3rd floor …
'Heavens, the notes in the magic book aren't like this. Didn't they say that it could only slightly increase the power of fire spells in the early stages and shorten the casting time a bit? Only after reaching the seventh formula could I start displaying some of the power of the Flaming Hand …
'What's going on? I'm still a 1st Rank Mage, how could I defeat a 3rd Rank Mage like Jason?
'Heavens, could it be that Sir Mafa remembered wrongly? No way, Sir Patriarch is so powerful, how could he remember wrongly? It must be that Sir Mafa doesn't like this Meditation Law Set and didn't care about it …'
The next day, Jack once again went to the library like a thief and checked the Meditation Law Set he had chosen. He also discovered that many members of the Merlin Family were cautiously checking the Meditation Law Set they had chosen.
After confirming that the records in the magic book were the same as he remembered, Jack doubtfully returned home and diligently used the Meditation Law Set to gather mana.
Lin Yun really hadn't remembered wrongly, but he had spent a lot of effort to make these magic books according to the records in Heiss City's decaying library.
The standard was naturally based on that standard, but he had forgotten that this era wasn't the era when Noscent had developed to its peak. Anything that could be recorded in the decaying library was, without exception, a top quality item. Even if the evaluation was only to slightly increase the power of spells and shorten the casting time, that was still an evaluation based on the peak of Noscent.
Such a small misunderstanding had caused the jaws of those little fellows who had chosen the Meditation Law Set to drop. They thought that they had encountered a legendary fortuitous encounter and found a super Meditation Law Set that had been looked down upon …
Lin Yun didn't care about these things. The Merlin Family was on the right track, flourishing with each passing day. Everyone's strength was rapidly improving. Lin Yun even took out some potions made from pure Mana Water, reducing the time it took for the people of the Merlin Family to accumulate mana.
Lin Yun spent his time in the Demiplane, comprehending the power of the Laws through the Demiplane. He had already reached the peak of the 9th Rank of the Archmage realm. He couldn't be any more perfect, and he couldn't be any more extreme.
One more step and he would reach the Heaven Rank. As long as he completed the Extraordinary transformation, he would immediately become a Heaven Rank powerhouse. But this step was very difficult.
An Archmage crossing the Heaven Rank was like building a gate and then breaking that gate to surpass mortals.
And the more solid that gate was, the more solid the foundation, and correspondingly, the more difficult it would be to break it, and the more benefits they would obtain after breaking it.
Even at the peak of Noscent, some powerful mages researched that the more powerful a mage's foundation was in the Archmage realm, the more successful they would be after advancing to the Heaven Rank, and the higher the possibility of advancing to the High Rank.
Lin Yun hid in the Demiplane and kept comprehending the Laws. He wanted to complete the Extraordinary transformation, but he was unable to do so. In his spiritual world, he could faintly see an ancient gate standing there with an extremely complicated wheel engraved on it.
The gate was emitting an aura as steady as a mountain, and his soul was trapped in front of the gate. As long as he pushed the gate open, he would be able to transcend and transform.
His soul standing in front of the gate was as small as an ant, but the gate didn't budge. Moreover, as he comprehended, the calm aura emitted by the gate became heavier and heavier, making it harder and harder to push it open.
After opening his eyes, Lin Yun was stunned and bitterly smiled.
'Sh * t, his foundation is too powerful, it's unimaginably powerful. From a mage to an Archmage, every step was perfect. Now, this gate separating the Heaven Rank and mortals has become perfect.
'It's so powerful that I can't even open it, what is this …'
After shaking his head, Lin Yun left the Demiplane and stopped comprehending the Laws, because he had already reached his limit. If he couldn't take that step, then no matter how much he comprehended, it wouldn't have much effect.
After coming out, Lin Yun received a report from his subordinates. The Merlin Family's development had been smooth recently. Their source of wealth was stable, and they had nurtured many alchemists that could work in alchemy workshops. The younger generation was advancing at a terrifying speed, almost scaring the original teachers of the Merlin Family to death.
Moreover, the strongest forces of the Andalusia Kingdom had recently launched a competition because the matter of the Raging Flame Plane had been thoroughly settled. But many forces still had conflicts over territories, so they were taking advantage of this competition to decide their disputes.
To put it simply, it was a disputed territory. Whoever had the biggest fist and the strongest power would be the winner. This was recognized by all forces.
And the Merlin Family was naturally invited. Lin Yun controlled the Raging Flame Plane's territory, so it could be said that there was no dispute over it. But the territories controlled by the Merlin Family still had disputes with other Families.
This was especially true for the Horn of Fertility, which was in dispute with the territories of several powers.
The competition was divided into two parts. One part was a competition between those under 18, while the other part was a competition between those under the Heaven Rank.
To put it simply, it was a competition between the strength of the Family and the strength of the Family.
During that month, Lin Yun personally selected ten talented youths to train, but no one knew what the content of the training was.
After a month, Lin Yun personally led the youths of the Merlin Family who had already advanced to the Mage realm before the age of 18 to participate in the competition.
After going through Lin Yun's personal training, the oldest of the ten youths was still a month away from turning 18, while the youngest was only 16. The weakest was already a 3rd Rank Mage, while the strongest was already a 6th Rank Mage.
There was no suspense in the youth group's competition. Whether it was their rank, Meditation Law Sets, or even their understanding of spells, they completely suppressed the youths of the other Families. Of the top ten, six were from the Merlin Family, while the remaining four were divided between the Cloud Tower and the Black Tower. The other Families simply didn't have anything to do with it.
As for the battle between Archmages, there was no suspense. Lin Yun was now an Archmage, so it was reasonable to say that Lin Yun, as the Patriarch of the Merlin Family, had to personally participate in this competition, and the battle itself could be said to be a battle between the Patriarchs of the Merlin Family.
Then, there was no 'then'. Lin Yun didn't even have to participate as the other Families had already admitted defeat. Lin Yun didn't need to compete, he was first, and the other Patriarchs would fight over second place.
The territories of the Merlin Family in the Raging Flame Plane unsurprisingly all belonged to the Merlin Family.
And the Merlin Family's potioneering industry in Andalusia could already be said to have a semi-monopoly. The Merlin Family was involved in almost all potioneering. The prices were cheap and the quality was good. Now, even the other Families had no choice but to purchase potions from the Merlin Family.
As for the newly established puppet shop, it thoroughly monopolized Andalusia, and the wealth gathered was like a stream of gold flowing into the Merlin Family.
And apart from Lin Yun, William, Ross, and even the next generation were the strongest mages of the Merlin Family.
In half a year, the Merlin Family had become the publicly recognized strongest mage force in Andalusia. Now, the Cloud Tower and the Black Tower would always look for the Merlin Family when they wanted to cooperate.
In half a year, Lin Yun fulfilled his promise and then decisively passed the Patriarch position to William Merlin.
After such a long period of tempering, William had become a lot more mature, and his rank had advanced by leaps and bounds to the 5th Rank of the Archmage realm. Moreover, after being tempered by Lin Yun, his fighting strength surpassed his current rank. He could even fight against a 7th Rank Archmage.
After happily handing over the Patriarch position to William, Lin Yun was ready to ponder. At this stage, he needed an opportunity to advance to the Heaven Rank, and going to the Odin Kingdom to look for the reincarnation of the God's soul, as well as the Reedpush Plate, were the first things he had to do.
Many forces knew that the God's soul had reincarnated in the Odin Kingdom, but not many took it seriously.
After all, after reincarnating, the power of the God's soul would disappear and he could only advance bit by bit like an ordinary human.
And during this process, it would be impossible to completely hide. No matter how slow his progress was, he would inevitably be exposed when advancing to the Heaven Rank.
Every Heaven Rank powerhouse couldn't completely hide themselves, especially in a place like the Odin Kingdom. When the time came, those terrifying powerhouses would only need to investigate every time they sensed someone advancing to the Heaven Rank.
No one cared, and no one had any feelings towards the doomsday of the God and Devil Era that the God and Devil Soul had evolved …
But Lin Yun was different!
Because the end of the Era of Gods, the end of the Nesser Dynasty, and even the apocalypse a few dozen millennia later, the people in the scene might be different, but the pattern was exactly the same, almost exactly the same scene.
If those forces were convinced that Noscent would be thoroughly destroyed a few dozen millennia later, no one would be able to ignore it.
But Lin Yun wanted to find the truth. He had to find the reincarnated God's soul and ask about the secrets within.
Moreover, the Heaven Enlightening Plane had already been destroyed. What was going on with the countless corpses of Chromatic Dragons and Pure-blooded Elves? There was also a large number of corpses of Chromatic Dragons and Pure-blooded Elves in the starry sky path of the Merlin Family's Ancestral Land. There was even a God's corpse. What was going on? What was the truth?
If there was anyone who might know, it would be the reincarnated God's soul.
And in order to deal with the upcoming apocalypse, he had to start building the Shelter Tower ahead of time. He had to obtain the core component of the Reedpush Plate.
Just as Lin Yun gathered his subordinates and prepared to set off for the Odin Kingdom, Raphael arrived.
He saw Raphael once again, and that guy looked high-spirited.
"Congratulations, Sir Raphael."
Lin Yun smiled and congratulated Raphael when he saw him.
Raphael smiled and couldn't hide the joy on his face.
"No, I knew I couldn't hide it from Sir Mafa. I only advanced to the Artisan realm after returning to the Odin Kingdom. This is all thanks to Sir Mafa. If not for you, I might have needed at least twenty years to advance."
Lin Yun shook his head and sighed with a smile.
"This doesn't have much to do with me, it's Sir Raphael's own hard work and talent.
Sir Mafa didn't personally come to the Andalusia Kingdom to tell me about this, right? "
Raphael scratched his head and awkwardly smiled.
"In fact, I came on behalf of the City in the Sky to invite Sir Mafa to the Odin Kingdom.
Have you heard of the Starry Sky College? "
Lin Yun nodded.
"As an alchemist, how could I not know the Holy Land of alchemists, the famous Starry Sky College? Could it be that this matter is related to the Starry Sky College?"
Raphael nodded with a mysterious look on his face.
"That's right, this time, we are going to participate in an alchemist gathering. Only the strength of the alchemist is important, the other background and magic rank can be ignored. As long as one has some attainments in the field of alchemy, even a High Mage can be invited.
"Moreover, only Artisans are qualified to participate in this gathering. Naturally, a powerful alchemist is definitely a powerful mage. Those that can become Artisans are at least High Rank Archmages, and many are Heaven Rank powerhouses."
Lin Yun understood. An alchemist gathering held by the Odin Kingdom was related to the Starry Sky College. If one wasn't an Artisan, they wouldn't even have the qualifications to participate.
"Then congratulations, Sir Raphael. You can also participate in this gathering. This should be the happiest thing for you."
Raphael couldn't help proudly smiling.
"Of course. In the past, when I was only a Master Alchemist, I always wanted to participate in this gathering, but I didn't have the qualifications to do so. My teacher took me to participate once, but unfortunately, I couldn't enter the core circle. This time, it's different.
"Moreover, I also got the mission to invite Sir Mafa. As an alchemist, Sir Mafa definitely wouldn't give up on this opportunity, right?"
Raphael didn't wait for Lin Yun to speak and rapidly cast a Silence Boundary before lowering his voice like a thief.
"Sir Mafa, I'll tell you a secret. After hearing it, you will definitely be impatient to go.
"Many years ago, a meteor tore through Noscent's spatial barrier and fell into the Odin Kingdom, causing a huge disaster. Many people died and everything within a hundred kilometers became barren for a few hundred years.
"The current Meteor Basin was formed by the impact of that meteor, and there was a crystal within that meteor.
"That crystal was made into an alchemy item and is now placed in the Starry Sky College!
"When that crystal fell, many people researched it, but they simply couldn't unravel the secret of the crystal.
"It can only be placed in the Starry Sky College, because that is the center of the world's alchemy. The most powerful alchemists are all in the Starry Sky College.
"The three deans are all Saint Alchemists. Only there can we unravel the secret of the crystal."
Lin Yun frowned as he vaguely thought of something.
"Sir Raphael, you mean that the focus of this gathering is that crystal?"
