The mysteries contained within truth runes didn't have a "standard answer" or anything like that. The mysteries contained within were more like alchemy Laws. These things had different results for different people, different answers. Everyone's path and comprehension might be completely different.
This was also because everyone's research methods were completely different, but the mysteries they ultimately researched might not be too different. The only difference was whether the same formula was used in potioneering or in arrays.
Everyone was researching, so Lin Yun didn't waste time. His target was those 108,000 truth runes.
In the future, all alchemists that researched truth runes would agree on one point of view. As long as one could comprehend those 108,000 truth runes, they would definitely be able to become a Saint Alchemist.
But this was something that everyone was certain of. In fact, most alchemists believed that they didn't need to research those 108,000 truth runes to be able to become a Saint Alchemist.
Lin Yun looked for an empty crystal table and took out a bottle of ink and a quill. His eyes were already focused on a truth rune on the Whispering Crystal. That rune looked like a child's graffiti. It clearly didn't look like a rune.
But it gave people a kind of harmonious feeling, as if it contained countless truths. With the help of the Magic Array, he instantly cracked the information contained in the outermost layer of the truth rune. In an instant, Lin Yun felt that ugly and awkward rune that looked like a child's doodle suddenly change.
It now looked like a rune containing formidable power. After a few seconds, he once again deciphered the mysteries contained within the rune and an even more intense feeling rose in his heart.
It felt as if a lot of data and formulas appeared in his mind. Many things that he hadn't understood before suddenly became clear, as if he had understood them himself.
After the mysteries of this rune were deciphered, the rune's shape suddenly changed. That ugly appearance seemed to have become three-dimensional. The rune started to revolve and the shape of a law rune appeared. Although the direction of the law rune changed slightly, the mysteries contained within it seemed to have skyrocketed dozens of times and become dozens of times more obscure.
This time, Lin Yun's research speed slowed down. It took him five minutes to decipher the mysteries contained within that law rune. The rune's original appearance didn't change much, but the mysteries contained within became even more complicated. It looked like sixteen runes forming the most perfect law rune!
Seeing this shape and structure, Lin Yun was a bit stunned. Sixteen runes forming a law rune, this was the most perfect and sturdy shape of a law rune.
This was common sense in the future. There was no record of who discovered this, nor was there any record of which mage created this thing. But now, he suddenly saw it.
In Bill Bill's ruins, he had only seen a law rune formed from twelve runes. That mysterious guy, Bill Bill, sometimes made Lin Yun wonder if he had also returned from the future.
A law rune formed from sixteen runes was the first thing a Heaven Mage needed to start constructing after advancing to the Heaven Rank. Afterwards, higher level law runes were all based on this law rune.
Now that he suddenly saw it in this era, Lin Yun was a bit startled. He couldn't help guessing that a law rune formed from sixteen runes was the most perfect and sturdy concept because of the Whisper Crystal.
Even if the current mages saw it, they wouldn't be able to do anything about it, because those that could comprehend the Whisper Crystal were Heaven Rank powerhouses and had their own law foundation. They might be able to see that the structure of this law rune was more perfect, but they couldn't do anything about it.
Or it could be said that they simply couldn't find the method to construct a law rune from sixteen runes, because the current method to construct a law rune from ten runes was the simplest.
No mage would give up on stabilizing their Heaven Rank after advancing to the Heaven Rank and give up on continuing their progress in order to research a higher level law rune's construction method.
In any case, once they reached a higher level, the law runes would overlap and fuse, and the final law rune would definitely be more powerful than those perfect law runes.
Naturally, the main reason was that there was no use in researching it, there was no way to research it.
Lin Yun knew the difference. Before advancing to the Heaven Rank, using twelve runes to construct a law rune was already the limit. If he wanted to construct a perfect law rune, he would need the help of Extraordinary Power.
After advancing to the Heaven Rank, Lin Yun still hadn't completed the construction of his law runes. But now that he saw these truth runes, Lin Yun suddenly felt that he could take advantage of the time he spent researching the truth runes to construct his own law runes.
And this kind of opportunity only came once. It represented that the foundation of the Heaven Rank couldn't be changed after being constructed.
It was like an algorithm. Lin Yun's algorithm was completely different from the current Heaven Rank powerhouses, it was even more powerful. If he wanted to change the algorithm based on this algorithm, he would have to destroy the foundation and start anew.
But that would mean that it would be impossible to rush back after falling from the Heaven Rank.
Lin Yun was shocked, but he didn't stop researching. He cooperated with the Magic Array's calculations and kept cracking the mysteries contained within that law rune.
The most perfect law rune's construction meant that it was the most stable and also the most difficult to crack. It would be very difficult to crack the mysteries within.
After no less than five hours, Lin Yun's pupils, which were frantically flickering with data, suddenly calmed down.
After rubbing his sore eyes, Lin Yun looked at the Whisper Crystal once again and discovered that the truth rune he had just been researching had already disappeared, replaced by a new truth rune.
He wasn't in a hurry to research the new truth rune. Lin Yun closed his eyes and started sorting out the mysteries he had just researched. Countless runes and a flood of data flowed before ultimately transforming into a few special formulas. And the alchemy breakthroughs derived from these few formulas were countless.
Lin Yun clearly remembered one of the formulas. This was a part of the Magellan Formula. The Magellan Formula would only be published three millennia later, but it had already been researched in bits and pieces over two millennia ago.
The Magellan Formula was acclaimed as the core formula of puppeteering technology. After the Magellan Formula was published, all alchemists researching puppets would use that formula as a foundation.
Especially in the field of puppets, the Magellan Formula was the foundation of energy generation and utilization. It was just like Newton's Three Laws in his previous life. A large amount of research and theories were researched on this foundation.
And now, a part of the Magellan Formula was deduced from the mysteries contained within the truth runes. This was undoubtedly a very frightening matter.
More importantly, Lin Yun knew many of the more advanced formulas, but those formulas were only results to Lin Yun. It was just like in his previous life, ordinary people might know the operating principle of nuclear bombs and the mass-energy conversion formula, but only a small number of top-notch geniuses could make nuclear bombs.
Now, when researching these truth runes, the mysteries contained within seemed to have a special power. It was as if during the research, Lin Yun was able to grasp this knowledge bit by bit. It was no longer an ice-cold formula slumbering in the depths of his brain.
Now, Lin Yun had a feeling that by using what he had just grasped, he could immediately start applying the formulas to alchemy experiments. He could even produce a few mature results.
This feeling of rapidly advancing stunned Lin Yun. In Heiss City's decaying library, truth runes had been written about on the shelves of alchemy. Unfortunately, this thing couldn't be rubbed, and even if it was rubbed, it wouldn't be able to preserve the mysteries of truth runes.
There had originally been a copy of a magic book in the decaying library. That was an Extraordinary Magic Tool in itself, but when Noscent was on the verge of destruction, that magic book had already become an ordinary book and the mysteries within were completely lost. It was said that that magic book was made by that genius of the Starry Sky College at his peak. It was also the only magic book that contained 108,000 truth runes in addition to the Whisper Crystal.
As for Lin Yun, he couldn't completely copy the truth runes.
Lin Yun lowered his head and looked at the few key pieces of data written on the piece of paper. He slowly recovered from his shock. No matter how much he listened, it wouldn't be as profound as personally experiencing it. After personally deciphering the mysteries contained within a truth rune, Lin Yun was determined to obtain those 108,000 truth runes.
But normally, it would take over five hours to completely research the mysteries contained within a truth rune. Even if everything went smoothly, who knew how long it would take to research 108,000 truth runes.
Moreover, it was recorded that the more truth runes one researched, the more mysteries one would grasp, and the more difficult it would be to continue researching. Apart from that genius of the Starry Sky College a few millennia later, there was no record of someone completely researching 108,000 truth runes.
Based on the calculation of five hours to research one truth rune, Lin Yun calculated that even if he didn't eat, sleep, or rest, he would still need seven to eight hundred years to research 108,000 truth runes.
This speed clearly wasn't good, so he had to think of another method. The efficiency of this research was too low.
Lin Yun frowned as he pondered. But none of the Artisans here had completely researched a truth rune until now.
Many of them simply couldn't carry out the third step of research on a truth rune.
The first level of research on a truth rune was very easy for Artisans, but the second level was a bit difficult. If they couldn't complete the second level within ten minutes, the truth rune they saw on the Whisper Crystal would become another truth rune, and they wouldn't even be qualified to study the third level.
And as long as a truth rune appeared and they researched the third level within fifteen minutes, the truth rune they saw would continue to exist. At the very least, when they looked at it, it would be that truth rune, while when others looked at it, it would be a different truth rune.
This was the reason for the strangeness of truth runes, because no one could truly understand them. Even that future genius of the Starry Sky College wouldn't have gone crazy before igniting his Godfire if he truly understood it.
Lin Yun didn't continue researching and instead tried to recall the records he had read about truth runes. There had to be a way to increase the efficiency of research.
After pondering for half an hour in the depths of his memories, Lin Yun found a few recorded methods to increase the efficiency of studying truth runes.
And it just so happened that he could do all of these methods.
One was a kind of spell, similar to Quick Mind, but it was said to be a supportive spell that the Starry Sky College had specially developed for the purpose of researching truth runes. It was called Steel Heart.
After casting, it was as if all emotions had been shielded. It was like turning into an ice-cold puppet, only able to research data and the mysteries of alchemy. Everything that could affect the research process was removed, and the efficiency of the research was at least doubled.
Adding Quick Mind would increase the speed of the research and he could also use Berserk Transformation. After buffing himself with Steel Heart, the side effects of Berserk Transformation would be completely negligible.
Another method was similar to the two alchemists of the Mosh Family. They would use some kind of Magic Tool to decompose the mysteries within the truth runes and then use the power of the law runes to fuse them. Afterwards, they only needed to decipher the information contained within the law runes and reassemble them according to the original method to obtain the complete mysteries.
The last method was related to the Magic Array.
Using the Magic Conducting Rune with formidable computing power, they would first transform the mysteries contained within the truth runes into a huge stream of data. They would then research, decipher, reassemble, and finally reverse engineer the combination to obtain all the mysteries contained within the truth runes.
This method seemed complicated, but it made the puzzle many times simpler. A difficult problem that could not be solved in a few hours was reduced to a simple problem that could be solved in a few seconds. The overall efficiency could be improved by at least ten times.
And the only Magic Conducting Rune that met these conditions was the Magic Array, known as the strongest Magic Conducting Rune.
Lin Yun simply didn't care about these methods when he first saw them. They were all recorded in a corner and were only used as supplementary notes on the truth runes. After all, these methods had been summarized by the Starry Sky College during its peak.
But these methods could only be used when directly studying the truth runes on the Whisper Crystal. With the disappearance of the Whisper Crystal, these methods were only briefly recorded in the records of the truth runes.
Lin Yun hadn't paid much attention to it at the time, but now that he thought about it, it was because he had advanced to the Heaven Rank and his soul power had become even stronger. Many of his forgotten memories could be dug out from the depths of his mind.
He opened his mouth and spat out a few law runes with a few strange syllables. A layer of fluctuations enveloped Lin Yun's head and in an instant, Lin Yun felt his mind becoming unprecedentedly clear. His efficiency was at its peak as he performed calculations. All emotions were abandoned and only ice-cold calculations were left. It was as if his senses had been separated and he was observing himself from another angle.
He only needed a thought to recover from this puppet-like ice-cold state. After entering the Steel Heart state, Lin Yun immediately used Sharp Mind and Berserk Transformation on himself.
Sure enough, his thinking speed greatly increased, and the increase was even greater than usual. Moreover, he didn't feel the side effects of Berserk Transformation, because he simply didn't have any emotions in the Steel Heart state.
Without the slightest pause, he immediately raised his head and started to observe the other truth rune. In less than a second, the first mystery of that truth rune was completely deciphered, and three seconds later, the second mystery was also deciphered.
The 3rd Layer, which contained the truly powerful mysteries, wasn't as fast. The Magic Arrays revolved within his body like a huge roulette. Countless streams of data revolved within the Magic Arrays before converging on the surface of that huge roulette to form a huge Law Rune. Moreover, it was a Law Rune's framework composed of sixteen runes.
After ten seconds, the law rune's transformation was completed. The flood of data formed by the law rune was so huge that even Lin Yun's Magic Array could barely handle it.
Lin Yun instantly took out the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel. After all, the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel was a Magic Tool that was truly good at cracking laws. The Magic Array formed a flood of data, and the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel could crack it. The efficiency would increase by a few dozen times, or even a few hundred times.
But Lin Yun suddenly stopped. The Ten Thousand Spell Wheel simply couldn't crack a truth rune.
Lin Yun, who was in the Steel Heart state, didn't feel dispirited or surprised. Since the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel couldn't be used, he immediately started cracking ordinary runes. But the efficiency of the cracking also increased by a dozen times. It took him less than half an hour to finish cracking a truth rune.
After cracking one, he immediately started cracking the next truth rune. But Lin Yun's current actions were seen as him staring at the Whisper Crystal in a daze and casting Berserk Transformation from time to time.
