And Zeith had brought all the Artisans here to use one of the Spatial Shuttling Devices to transfer.
If nothing unexpected happened, they should be heading to the location of the God Tool Crystal, which was heavily protected by the Starry Sky College.
He looked around and saw that there were still seven Spatial Shuttling Devices. This also meant that the Starry Sky College had seven independent sealed spaces, each of which contained valuable items or research.
The group entered the large cylinder of the Spatial Shuttle Device, and Zeith immediately started the conversion. The surrounding space started distorting, as if someone had forcibly cut out the space within the alchemy device and turned it into a large box containing everyone.
Then, in an instant, the surrounding light distorted, and nothing could be seen. A second later, the distorted light began to recover, but the surrounding environment had undergone earth-shattering changes.
It also looked like a huge underground space. The sky was over a kilometer high, but there was no mountain rock on the surface. It was completely poured with silver metal, and it looked like a single entity. But at the same time, it also cut off the possibility of anyone knowing where this place was.
The underground space was incomparably huge, at least thirty to forty kilometers in length and width. Such a huge space seemed to be underground, supporting this huge space so that it wouldn't collapse under the pressure of the earth. This was a huge project. If this wasn't underground, then it might be a Demiplane left behind by a fallen Heaven Rank powerhouse.
And this kind of Demiplane was the most secretive, but it didn't look like an ordinary Demiplane.
There were a few hundred buildings scattered here, but they were too few for such a huge space. At the center was a huge silver-white building.
Zeith led everyone towards the center, and on the way, a pleasantly surprised expression appeared on Raphael's face.
"Sure enough, Sir Mafa, I heard that this is the location of the God Tool Crystal. But I don't know much about this place. My senior apprentice brother once came here, but he didn't mention it to anyone after leaving. But now that we're here, he should be able to divulge some information."
After saying that, Raphael brought the fanatical Gurud over. Gurud didn't have a good expression towards Raphael, not to mention that they were going to see a God Tool for alchemists.
But when facing Lin Yun, the fanatical Gurud returned to normal. After all, he didn't think much of a newly advanced Artisan like Raphael, but he admired Lin Yun's alchemy ability.
Lin Yun curiously looked at Gurud. Gurud swallowed his words and glared at Raphael with dissatisfaction before pulling Lin Yun to the side, ignoring Raphael.
"Sir Mafa, this crystal of the Starry Sky College is very mystical. Today is our first day here, so we should take a look around first.
"It is said that the countless runes floating on the surface of this crystal contain the power of truth. Each rune contains the truth of alchemy, and the truth of alchemy is the truth of the world. When the time comes, Sir Mafa can carefully study those runes. As long as you can comprehend one rune, you will obtain countless benefits and greatly advance your alchemy attainments …"
Gurud kept talking about the power of the runes on the crystal and the idea that alchemy was the truth. They entered the huge silver-white building and found that it was completely empty inside. There were only crystal tables and a huge transparent cover in the center.
The cover was completely sealed. It was like an eight-meter-tall sphere wrapping the crystal inside, and inside the cover, there was a very complicated alchemy device wrapping the crystal inside. Hands were connected to the surface of the glass cover from the alchemy device, and then those hands were connected to the top of the several-dozen-meter-tall building. It looked very complicated.
After entering, Gurud saw those complicated alchemy devices and seemed to recall something. He stealthily looked around before using mana to send a sound transmission to Lin Yun.
"Sir Mafa, this crystal has a very formidable ability. Do you see those alchemy devices? When the moon is full, those alchemy devices can draw out a very peculiar energy from the crystal.
"And these alchemy devices draw out that peculiar energy and pour it into an ordinary Magic Tool.
"Magic Tools instilled with that peculiar crystal energy will instantly turn into Spiritual Magic Tools. No matter how whimsical, no matter what kind of Magic Tool it is, it can instantly turn into a Spiritual Magic Tool!"
Gurud couldn't hide the fanaticism on his face, and Lin Yun was startled.
Even if it was only a Spiritual Magic Tool, a Spiritual Magic Tool would have almost no effect on a Heaven Rank powerhouse. But Magic Tools sometimes had many abilities and special effects that didn't have much to do with the rank of the Magic Tool.
Especially starting from Spiritual Magic Tools, it was a huge watershed.
Spiritual Magic Tools already had Magic Tool Spirits, and once they reached the True Spirit Magic Tool realm, they would have a complete Magic Tool Incarnation. Although the Magic Tool Spirit couldn't be as powerful as the Magic Tool Incarnation, it could already make the Magic Tool possess many special abilities.
And for Magic Tools below the Spiritual Magic Tool realm, their rank was everything. Many Magic Tools with special abilities and special ideas could be crafted into ordinary Magic Tools, and this wasn't very difficult.
Even if it was a Magic Tool targeting the soul, or even a Magic Tool with terrifying effects, it wasn't very difficult to craft an ordinary Magic Tool. At least, it wasn't very difficult for an Artisan.
But the effects of the crafted Magic Tool would be very poor. A Magic Tool targeting the soul might only be able to kill an ordinary person if it was crafted into an ordinary Magic Tool. It might not even be able to break through the shield of an ordinary mage, so that kind of Magic Tool wouldn't have any effect.
There were also some special Magic Tools that could increase the speed of thought. The effect of an ordinary Magic Tool might not even be as good as an Agile Mind spell.
But this kind of peculiar Magic Tool couldn't be used, and alchemists had made too many of them. That was just a way to verify ideas, and the ordinary Magic Tools they made were all thrown into the trash after being crafted.
But now, there was a way to instantly turn an ordinary Magic Tool into a Spiritual Magic Tool, and it could even produce a Magic Tool Spirit. This was a lot more useful.
Some special Magic Tools that couldn't be crafted into Spiritual Magic Tools could display some effects that were more powerful than many True Spirit Magic Tools after they were instantly transformed into Spiritual Magic Tools.
For example, the most famous and peculiar Magic Tool that could accumulate power, the Flickering Badge, was an ordinary Magic Tool. That kind of Magic Tool could only let the wearer flash less than a meter away.
And this was the best. Ordinary Flickering Badges could only let the wearer flash less than half a meter away.
This kind of distance was something that some Swordsmen especially liked when they were at a lower level. For Swordsmen at a lower level, a distance of half a meter could determine life and death.
Or in some special situations, a distance of half a meter could save a life.
But as they got stronger and stronger, reaching the Expert Swordsman realm, the Flickering Badge became useless. Because at that level, whether it was a mage or a Swordsman, half a meter would have no effect in a fight.
It might even break their own fighting rhythm because of that half a meter of distance, which was even more fatal.
In the later stages, any spell's range of influence might be a dozen meters, and the strongest range might be seven to eight meters. Even arrows and Aura Slashes would need to be dodged a few meters to avoid a frontal attack.
As for the Heaven Rank, half a meter was negligible. Especially for some mages that liked to fight with violent spells, a few dozen meters was negligible.
Thus, the Flickering Badge was bound to become a Low Tier Magic Tool, and it could only be used at low levels. But if the Flickering Badge became a Spiritual Magic Tool, it could instantly flash a few dozen meters to over a hundred meters!
This distance was almost the same as a spatial mage's Teleportation. After all, this kind of spell could only be learned after comprehending the Law of Space, and after comprehending that branch of the Law and condensing the Law Rune.
The spatial mage in the Merlin Family's Ancestral Land, who used the Spatial Law as his foundation, had comprehended that branch of the Spatial Law and could teleport less than a hundred meters away.
And this hundred meters was enough to ensure that Labard wouldn't lose in a fight against someone of the same rank. Even if he wanted to escape, a mage of the same rank wouldn't be able to stop him unless they had a Magic Tool that could restrain him.
But all of this could be done with a Spiritual Magic Tool Flickering Badge. If a mage under the Heaven Rank obtained that Spiritual Magic Tool Flickering Badge, they might be able to get rid of an enemy stronger than them by surprise.
If it was given to an assassin, they might even be able to get rid of an enemy a few times stronger than them.
Many people wouldn't take this matter seriously if it was spread outside, it was only a Spiritual Magic Tool.
But as an alchemist, he understood the power of this ability. The most direct observation was that there would suddenly be many Spiritual Magic Tools that could display special abilities. And as an alchemist, he didn't just see this.
Because there might only be one Spiritual Magic Tool, but an alchemist might be able to use that Spiritual Magic Tool to create more Spiritual Magic Tools that were exactly the same. They might even be able to unearth the secrets and directions of the advancement of that Spiritual Magic Tool through research, and if they kept researching it, they might be able to research a True Spirit Magic Tool!
This was the most frightening part …
Lin Yun was horrified, he instantly thought of a lot of possibilities. Gurud had an expression that said 'you really understand' as he stared at the thing inside the glass cover. It was like a thug that had been starving for a dozen years suddenly seeing a table full of delicious food.
Suddenly, Gurud hesitated, apparently thinking of something.
"But, Sir Mafa, this crystal is very strange. No, it's not that the crystal is very strange, it's that the Spiritual Magic Tools enhanced by the crystal's energy are very strange.
"I heard that those Magic Tool Spirits simply don't listen to orders and simply can't be used. Moreover, those Magic Tool Spirits will keep enticing the user, making them steal that crystal.
"Previously, many users of the Spiritual Magic Tools manufactured by the Starry Sky College were tempted and went crazy, thinking of ways to steal the crystal.
"Five hundred years ago, there was a Heaven Rank powerhouse that was tempted and wanted to steal the crystal. He was caught there and almost ended up stealing it.
"Later, the Starry Sky College no longer let people use those Magic Tools, they only used the manufactured Magic Tools for research purposes. They even took the initiative to destroy the Magic Tool's Spirit and strictly limited the types of Magic Tools that could receive the crystal's energy. For a very long time, the strange energy within the crystal couldn't be guided out …"
Gurud quietly approached Lin Yun and used mana to directly transmit these words to Lin Yun's body. He then stealthily sized up Zeith, fearing that Zeith would hear his words.
After all, these matters could be considered a scandal of the Starry Sky College. If it spread, the Starry Sky College wouldn't have any glory. More importantly, the Starry Sky College was the Holy Land of alchemists. For this kind of thing to happen, it would be even more shameful.
Lin Yun was somewhat speechless as he looked at Gurud. 'That guy really doesn't have a mind of his own, he's terrifyingly pure. He truly put all his thoughts into alchemy. With such a stealthy look, as long as one wasn't blind, they would be able to see that he was speaking ill of the Starry Sky College.
Gurud spoke for a bit before feeling that he didn't dare to go into detail. After all, Zeith was a 5th Rank Heaven Mage. If he was heard, although he wouldn't say anything, he would still be unhappy.
After everyone arrived, Zeith stood outside the glass cover and introduced the crystal to everyone.
After Zeith opened his mouth, the alchemy device wrapped around the crystal slowly dispersed, revealing a one-meter-big crystal. The crystal had eighteen sides and was floating in the air, slowly rotating. Moreover, the direction of the rotation seemed to have a special pattern, and this pattern was continuously changing.
There was a rune on each side of the crystal, and these runes would constantly change as the crystal rotated. Every time the direction and angle of the crystal rotated, the runes on the surface would change once.
Moreover, the runes that everyone saw were different. As the crystal rotated, the runes that everyone saw were not the same. It looked as if there were an endless number of runes appearing on the crystal.
The moment they saw the crystal, everyone stopped listening to Zeith's simple introduction. All their attention was focused on the crystal.
As for Lin Yun, he foolishly looked at that crystal like everyone else, as if he was looking at the masterpiece of the Creator. He had a lifeless expression, completely in line with the appearance of an alchemist looking at that crystal for the first time.
But no one knew that countless pieces of information were rapidly surging out of Lin Yun's mind. The memories that had been silent in the depths of his mind suddenly burst out. He was completely stunned.
'Whispering Crystal …
'Sure enough, it's that thing. I felt that it was familiar before, but I couldn't remember. I really didn't expect it to be the Whispering Crystal. I should have thought of it before. It fell from the sky to the Starry Sky College, and then it showed all kinds of miraculous effects …'
When Raphael first mentioned this crystal, Lin Yun felt that it was familiar, but he couldn't remember what it was. He only remembered seeing some records of it.
But after hearing Gurud's words and seeing the Whispering Crystal with his own eyes, the eighteen sides of the crystal looked like an ordinary translucent crystal. It looked very ordinary, and with the constantly changing runes, Lin Yun finally recalled that crystal.
That crystal was called the Whispering Crystal, but it wasn't a name that existed in the present. It was given a name a long time later.
It was rumored that the Whispering Crystal was wrapped in a meteorite and fell into the Starry Sky College. At the time, it caused a lot of damage to the Starry Sky College. The Starry Sky College mined the meteorite and found this eighteen -faced crystal in the center.
The first thing they discovered were the runes appearing on each surface of the crystal. Those runes looked like Low Tier Runes, but different people would have different results. Those runes looked very strange and weren't like the basic runes of Noscent.
Rather, they looked like ordinary runes, but the information they contained far surpassed Low Tier Law Runes. At that time, the Starry Sky College's people obtained the Whispering Crystal and after deciphering a few runes, they immediately discovered how powerful those runes were.
Each of the runes on the Whispering Crystal contained something related to alchemy and was hailed as the truth of alchemy by alchemists. Those runes were called truth runes.
Comprehending truth runes made the Starry Sky College's alchemists' attainments in alchemy rapidly increase, but there was a huge shortcoming. The comprehension of truth runes was very slow, and the more they comprehended, the slower their speed would be. Many powerful alchemists spent over a millennium trying to comprehend truth runes, but they didn't manage to comprehend much.
Moreover, there was another restriction. If they didn't comprehend the first runes, they wouldn't be able to comprehend the latter runes. Even if everyone comprehended a different truth rune, even if others told them the meaning of that rune, it would be useless.
Because everyone saw different runes. Only the alchemist that comprehended the truth runes could understand them, and even if they told others, it would only be the information contained within the truth runes.
These kinds of mysterious restrictions made the Whispering Crystal even more mysterious. Moreover, after the Whispering Crystal's energy was guided out, it could turn an ordinary Magic Tool into a Spiritual Magic Tool, and that was only when the Whispering Crystal was an ordinary crystal.
