And this notebook was the last ray of hope for those Archmages who had no hope of advancing to the Heaven Rank. It couldn't be said that everyone couldn't resist this temptation, but of those 9th Rank Archmages who had lost hope, at least 50% would try to research it, and 30% would try to experiment.
The number of Heaven Rank powerhouses was very small in Noscent, but the number of 9th Rank Archmages that couldn't advance to the Heaven Rank was at least a hundred times greater than the number of Heaven Rank powerhouses.
Moreover, for those mages who had exhausted their potential after advancing to the Heaven Rank and wouldn't be able to advance for centuries, this might be a very good opportunity.
The Undead Plane was connected to the Leviathan Plane. If he were to transform into a Lich now, he would be able to enter the Undead Plane easily. He could even help the Undead attack the Leviathan Plane directly. When the time came, he would be able to occupy a territory in the Leviathan Plane and become a Lich with a territory.
An eternal Lich, a perfect and flawless Lich … Who could resist such a temptation?
It was obvious that many people would try it out.
And once these people succeeded in the ritual, they would transform into Liches and become De Kriese's Clones. De Kriese himself wouldn't need to descend, he would be able to easily gather a huge Lich Army from tens of thousands of kilometers away, separated by the territories of the Undead.
For a powerful Lich army, forming a huge Undead Army was as simple as waving a hand. They could release the 9th Tier Spell Undead Plague in a city, and all the lifeforms within the city would turn into Undead.
Lin Yun felt cold sweat trickling down his back as he thought about it. If the war in the Tainted Blood Ridge became more and more intense, a large amount of power would be poured into the Tainted Blood Ridge, and a few hundred Liches would suddenly appear in the rear, leading a sea of Undead. There was no need to think about the result.
Lin Yun frowned and wrote a magic letter, writing down this matter and sending it out. Agalon was currently in the Undead Plane, and he didn't know how he was doing. He didn't dare to send this magic letter to Agalon, as he might be stopped by other powerhouses in the Undead Plane.
The magic letter was signed to Gandalf. With Gandalf's identity, he will expose the conspiracy and issue a warning. The details are enough for everyone to be vigilant.
The Bloody Lich was causing trouble in the dark, and the Holy Light Alliance was holding them back. Agalon hadn't contacted him yet, and he hadn't figured out how to set up the Hexagram Formation and how to defeat the Undead.
Lin Yun put away Idro's alchemy notes and thought about how to quickly recover his strength. He couldn't wait for half a month.
While Lin Yun was waiting for news from Xiuban and Reina, as well as Gandaph, a few Heaven Mages were already flying towards the floating island Lin Yun was on.
"Edward has fallen. That hateful guy. Ever since he occupied that small city, he has never returned. Now he has suddenly fallen. I don't know which family suddenly attacked that city.
"Idro still has the resources our Senluo Family obtained here, as well as his alchemy notes. We have to get our hands on them. The things we obtained from the ruins were researched by Idro, so he must have researched something important …"
An Ice Mage with blue eyes stated his conjecture with a solemn face. Beside him, another mage who also had the characteristics of Northston's race nodded.
"That's right, Idro must have researched something important and was discovered by those guys in the desert. Those things might have already been in their hands. We have to rush over immediately. Idro is dead, so that small city must have been occupied …"
"No matter who it is, since they dared to humiliate our Senluo Family, they must pay a disastrous price!"
On the other side, Lin Yun didn't investigate the force behind Idro. He had never heard of the Senluo Family, a Family from the Sten Kingdom that didn't have the qualifications to be near the Tainted Blood Territory. This was enough to prove that this was a small Family that could only pick up the leftovers. Even if they were seriously injured and their strength had dropped a few dozen times, Lin Yun didn't pay too much attention to them.
On the other hand, there was news of Xiuban and Reina. The Heaven Stairway Tree's clan was spread throughout the entire Leviathan Plane, so it was very easy for them to find someone. It took them less than two days to find Xiuban and Reina. According to the Heaven Stairway Tree, the information it wanted to convey had already been conveyed to them.
Several tens of thousands of kilometers away from the city Lin Yun was in, in a mountain range, Xiuban was carrying Carnage on his shoulder while holding a half-cooked magic beast in one hand. He was wolfing down the roasted meat while gritting his teeth as he looked at the several-hundred-meter-tall tree in front of him.
The surroundings of the giant tree were densely packed with trees of all sizes. These trees all came from the giant tree in the center. They were all grown from the roots of the giant tree after it drilled out of the ground. This forest that stretched for at least thirty to forty kilometers was actually all a single tree …
An aged face slowly appeared on the surface of a tree, motionlessly looking at Xiuban.
Xiuban raised Carnage in his right hand and smashed the tree in front of him, shattering the face that had appeared on the surface of the tree into pieces.
After smashing the tree, Xiuban's gaze kept scanning the surroundings. He fiercely took a bite of the roasted meat and fiercely cursed.
"Damned b * stard, you can't scare me! Come out, come out!"
After a few seconds, another old face appeared on the trunk of another tree, motionlessly looking at Xiuban like a wooden statue.
Xiuban once again raised Carnage and smashed that tree into pieces.
After an hour, all the trees within three kilometers of Xiuban had been smashed into pieces, and the area was filled with broken wood. After smashing a huge tree, another two-meter-thick tree next to it appeared with the same aged face.
Xiuban's eyes were red as he panted. He fiercely threw away the half-eaten roasted meat in his left hand and held Carnage with both hands as he gritted his teeth and started attacking the surrounding trees.
After smashing the tree with the face, he did not stop. Instead, he began attacking the surrounding trees in a frenzy. As long as he saw a tree, he would smash them all. Only after smashing several hundred trees did he finally stop, panting heavily. All the trees within a radius of three to four kilometers had been smashed. It was as if some ferocious beast had ravaged the area.
Suddenly, an aged face appeared on the surface of a tree that hadn't been smashed yet, motionlessly staring at Xiuban.
Xiuban was going crazy from being tormented. It didn't matter if he fought a powerful magic beast, it didn't matter if he had to face an army of the Undead by himself, but now, there was such an aged face staring at him without doing anything. Xiuban was already going crazy.
After throwing Carnage to the ground, Xiuban gnashed his teeth and sat there with red eyes, glaring at that old face.
"Damnit, you want to look at me? Come, let's compare! Whoever moves first is an idiot!"
The surroundings became quiet. Xiuban was motionlessly staring, and the aged face on the tree was also motionlessly staring at Xiuban. After half an hour, the aged face slowly opened its mouth.
"Merlin is waiting for you."
After saying that, the aged face spat out a piece of sawdust with a rough direction marked on it.
Xiuban laughed heartily as he jumped up from the ground and swung Carnage, instantly smashing the tree in front of him.
"Idiot, you moved first, you moved first, you lost, idiot, hahaha …"
Xiuban waved his hands and laughed for a few minutes before suddenly stopping, as if remembering something. He promptly looked for a tree on the side and slapped its surface with his palm before loudly shouting, "Hey, idiot!
"Hey, idiot, where are you? Come out quickly! What did you just say? Sir Merlin is waiting for me? Where is Sir Merlin? Damnit, come out quickly and tell me clearly … "
After slapping for a few minutes, there was no reaction from the surroundings. Xiuban pounced towards the pile of fragments on the ground and rummaged for a few minutes before finding a piece of wood. The patterns on that piece of wood were like a map pointing a direction. After changing the direction, a faint light could be seen on that piece of wood.
Even Xiuban could understand that it was pointing him in the right direction.
Holding the piece of wood, Xiuban awkwardly mumbled as he looked at the surroundings, which looked like it had been ravaged by a huge beast.
"Damnit, Sir Merlin sent someone to look for me, but why did he send such an idiot? Such a stupid guy, he only said one sentence after such a long time. That guy wouldn't have been killed by me, right?"
After muttering a few words, Xiuban hurriedly lifted Carnage and fled like a thief. After half an hour, an aged face once again appeared on the surface of a tree. After waiting for an hour, the aged face mumbled, "Stupid Beastman, I still haven't finished speaking.
"Stupid Beastman, I still haven't finished speaking, why did he disappear? What an impatient guy …"
On the other side, Reina's process of obtaining the information was a lot more normal. As a Dragon, some of the knowledge contained within her bloodline contained records of these special Ancient Lifeforms. The most clear record was that these special Ancient Lifeforms spoke very slowly.
After getting the information, Reina followed the guidance of the information and flew towards the small city where Lin Yun was located.
Xiuban and Reina were hurrying on their way, but it would take a lot of time to cover several tens of thousands of kilometers even if they flew all the way. At this time, the Senro Family had already reached that small city.
Three mages of the Senro Family, two at the Heaven Rank and one at the 9th Rank of the Archmage realm, didn't directly fly to the floating island supported by the Heaven Stairway Ancient Tree. Instead, they entered the city through the city gate and quietly arrived at the alchemy shop with the Teleportation Array.
"A 9th Rank Archmage, a lone mage? Are you joking? An injured lone mage, and a mere 9th Rank Archmage at that, could get rid of Edro? "
In the alchemy shop, Kevin of the Senro Family almost snapped the neck of the person in charge of the shop when he heard the report.
The person in charge of the shop was sweating profusely as he pointed at the array above his head, before pointing at the Teleportation Array that could no longer be used. He was a bit panicked.
"Sir Kevin, it's true! Sir Edro is catching some lone mages, and it would be best if they were light mages or flame mages, but there aren't any lone light mages here, so he can only catch some flame mages.
"Last time, he lured a 9th Rank Archmage flame mage. That guy was suppressed in this array, but I don't know what evil spell he used, but he summoned three plants filled with evil aura and completely devoured the blood of the other two pitiful guys.
"Also, Sir Edro was devoured by those blood-colored vines. That evil guy is too frightening. Fortunately, that evil mage definitely didn't want to cause a ruckus and expose himself, so I was able to escape.
"I later discovered that the Teleportation Array had failed, and that evil mage is definitely on the floating island!"
Kevin sneered.
"That idiot Edro, it looks like studying alchemy made him weaker and weaker. As a Heaven Mage, he actually died at the hands of an Archmage. This is a disgrace to the Senro Family.
"Let's go, we will tear that evil mage to pieces. He is only an Archmage, so we can only use a sneak attack to kill Edro. Now, let's let him experience the power of a true Heaven Rank powerhouse. All schemes are useless in front of power …"
Kevin led the other two members of the Senro Family out of the alchemy shop and directly burst out with Extraordinary Power, using it to resist the Flight Restriction Array. They directly flew up from the bottom of the floating island and flew towards the floating island that was several hundred meters above the ground.
After landing on the floating island's platform, Kevin looked at the mage tower in the center and sneered before instructing the young 9th Rank Archmage next to him, "Cage, go make that damned evil mage come out to see me.
"Cage, go get that damned evil mage to come out and see me. I'll give him a chance to explain and let him live for a few more minutes."
Cage nodded and excitedly rushed to the entrance of the mage tower.
'Uncle Kevin brought me out this time, and now he wants me to come out. It looks like he is planning on nurturing me. The Leviathan Plane is so chaotic now, this is a good opportunity to establish some achievements. As long as I fight for enough benefits for the Senro Family in the Leviathan Plane, I might be able to directly enter the upper echelons of the Senro Family after returning to Noscent.
'Maybe Uncle Kevin will be in a good mood and directly recommend me to a better future. This is all thanks to that evil mage …'
"Stupid guy, I'll give you ten seconds to get the f * ck out, or you'll regret everything you've done!"
Cage stood at the entrance of the mage tower and loudly shouted, but the mage tower was deathly silent, not reacting at all.
Kevin frowned and walked to the entrance of the mage tower before chanting a short incantation. Numerous patterns appeared on the surface of the door, but it didn't open as expected.
"Cage, get out of the way! Let's kill our way in and let that evil mage know that this kind of resistance is only stalling for time. He'll die a more miserable death later."
As the incantation was chanted, ice power covered the entrance of the mage tower. Slowly, the mana fluctuations emitted by the entrance dissipated and the entrance thoroughly turned into a gate of ice.
Cracks appeared on the surface of the entrance. Kevin's staff softly touched the surface of the door and it shattered into countless fragments of ice.
"Uncle Kevin is becoming more and more powerful. It only took him a few seconds to break open the entrance of a mage tower. I wonder when I'll be as powerful as Uncle Kevin …"
Cage stood on the side with an envious expression while Kevin proudly smiled.
"Don't talk nonsense, let's go, we'll ruthlessly torture that evil mage!"
The group kept going up the mage tower. These defenses had originally been arranged by Idro, so it wasn't difficult for Kevin. They quickly reached the laboratory on the top floor.
They opened the door and saw Lin Yun in the middle of an alchemy experiment.
The skull of the undead, the core fragment of the specter, and the beating heart of the vampire …
A large pile of Undead materials was placed on Lin Yun's experimental bench, and there was even an Undead skull with a Soul Fire burning within it.
"Sure enough, an evil mage. I'll give you one last chance. Hand over everything you have and kneel in front of the great Senro Family to repent. I'll mercifully kill you and let you die a quick death!"
Kevin released his Extraordinary aura the moment he came out. The aura of Extraordinary Power suppressed everything in the surroundings and prevented any accidents from happening. The most important thing was to guard against a sneak attack.
But Lin Yun didn't seem to feel it. He frowned and continued with his alchemy experiment.
Kevin sneered and stood at the entrance of the laboratory, not moving forward.
'Evil mage, do you think I'm the same as that idiot Idro? Who knows if there are any sinister traps here. But as long as I release Extraordinary Power, any trap would be useless against me and any sneak attack would be impossible.
'That damned Archmage definitely wants to take advantage of this opportunity to launch a sneak attack. He wants to infuriate me and make me lose my mind. But unfortunately, I'm not that idiot Idro. A lion would even go all-out to kill a rabbit.
'Looking at that evil mage's appearance, he seems to be an alchemist. He must have obtained what Idro obtained, and there must be some big secret within. Otherwise, he wouldn't be in such a hurry to conduct an alchemy experiment here.
"Cage, break that evil mage's limbs and tie him up. I want to properly entertain him!"
Cage was overjoyed. With two Heaven Rank powerhouses personally holding the line, what was there to worry about? Once Cage crossed the door and walked towards Lin Yun, an emerald vine suddenly grew under his feet. The vine was covered in sharp thorns and instantly wrapped around Cage's body, binding him. Even his Runic Shield was useless.
