Apart from being an Extraordinary Magic Tool with boundless power, the Book of Death was also the control center of the entire Bone Plane. The reason why Lin Yun was so eager to get his hands on the Book of Death was because this Extraordinary Magic Tool had the ability to open the Bone Plane at any time, anywhere.
Now, Lin Yun really needed that ability.
"Shit, what's going on?" But when Lin Yun stretched out his hand, he almost burst into tears, because Lin Yun discovered that he couldn't open the Book of Death, as if it was locked by a mysterious power. "No way, you are playing this kind of joke on me at such a crucial time?"
As the Bone Dragon let out a Draconic Roar, the entire summit seemed to shake. Lin Yun could even feel that Draconic Might carrying boundless death energy getting closer and closer to him.
"Kane, come out!" Lin Yun tried shouting a few times, but that Magic Tool Incarnation of the Book of Death seemed to have disappeared and didn't respond to Lin Yun.
This time, Lin Yun really wanted to cry. There was no way out, and there was a Bone Dragon chasing after him.
At this time, Lin Yun was truly flustered.
"Right, right, the Sage Chapter, let's try the Sage Chapter …" Lin Yun couldn't care too much at this time and directly took out the Sage Chapter from his pocket. Ever since entering the Bone Plane and absorbing countless Soul Fires, the originally stone-like Sage Chapter had already become sparkling and translucent, just like a piece of crystal.
In any case, it was a desperate situation, so Lin Yun didn't care too much. He took out the Sage Chapter and directly inserted it into the Book of Death.
But he hadn't expected that it would actually go in.
The Book of Death flashed with light and the palm-sized Sage Chapter directly merged with the Book of Death.
Then, the first page of the Book of Death opened!
"Damn, I knew it …" Lin Yun wiped his cold sweat and poured mana into the book. Countless characters appeared on the blank page.
This was a symbol that Lin Yun had never seen before …
They were decorated with gorgeous patterns and were full of a mysterious beauty. With just a glance, Lin Yun could vaguely feel that they seemed to have some kind of mysterious power.
However, it was very strange …
Lin Yun had never seen these characters before, but when they appeared one by one, Lin Yun somehow managed to conjure an incantation.
"This …" Lin Yun was startled. 'What's going on?
Lin Yun clearly remembered that he hadn't thought of opening his mouth in that split second. That incantation seemed to have come out of his mouth on its own.
Moreover, what made Lin Yun's blood run cold was that he instantly understood the meaning of that incantation. That incantation used the characters of the Book of Death. Three of them were used to open a Planar Path, two were used for positioning, and the remaining two were used to complete a Planar Teleportation.
At this time, Lin Yun was truly sweating.
To open the Planar Path, only three runes were needed.
What kind of frightening power was this? This meant that the power contained within these three characters was already equivalent to a Master Alchemist's array. Lin Yun couldn't think of any civilization's language in Noscent's history that could possess such frightening power.
After all, in that spacious decaying library several dozen millennia later, any language that appeared in Noscent's history could be found. Common Language, Elven Language, Draconic Language, Demonic Language, Dwarven Language, even the Nesser Language, God Language … Their creators might have been powerful races that flourished in Noscent, or even powerful civilizations that established their own dynasties. But regardless of which one it was, they didn't have this kind of miraculous power.
This was already a power that couldn't be possessed by words.
As Lin Yun sighed inwardly, the surrounding space started distorting and Lin Yun appeared in his home in Thousand Sails City.
Lin Yun looked around and found himself in that secret underground room. The Book of Death was still in his hands, and he could only open the first page.
"Kane?" Lin Yun tried to call out to the Magic Tool Incarnation of the Book of Death, but unfortunately, there was still no response.
This made Lin Yun very angry. The Book of Death had too many secrets, and the clues he had were only leaked by that Heaven Mage of the Ivory Tower a few millennia later. It could be said that it was only slightly better than not knowing anything.
Lin Yun originally wanted to wait until he was out of danger before asking Kane about the situation. It looked like he would have to slowly research it, just like when he obtained the Sage Chapter.
Thinking of this, Lin Yun picked up the Book of Death once again and flipped to the first page, reading character by character.
The first thing that fell into Lin Yun's eyes were the five Ultimate Spell Slots.
Indeed, five …
Previously, the Sage Chapter had absorbed a large amount of Soul Fires and turned from a stone slate into a crystal, allowing it to upgrade 2nd Tier Spells to Ultimate Spells. But there were still only three slots for Ultimate Spells. From this, it could be seen how hard it was to increase the number of slots for Ultimate Spells.
But now, the Sage Chapter had merged with the Book of Death and became one of the Augments of this Extraordinary Magic Tool, increasing the number of Ultimate Spell Slots by two!
'Worthy of an Extraordinary Magic Tool …' Lin Yun couldn't help being secretly startled. This kind of increase was too frightening. It was the same as letting him grasp two 2nd Tier Ultimate Spells out of thin air. The changes that could happen in battle would increase exponentially. As long as he could combine five 2nd Tier Ultimate Spells well, he might even be able to fight against a 5th Rank High Mage.
Apart from these five Ultimate Spell Slots, there were thirty-three characters on the first page, seven of which were used to open a Planar Path. Ever since Lin Yun incanted that incantation, these seven characters had already been engraved in Lin Yun's mind. It was as if Lin Yun had already grasped the knowledge. Lin Yun even felt that he could use the power contained within these characters at any time if he wanted to.
But Lin Yun couldn't understand the remaining twenty-six characters.
This was a bit regretful for Lin Yun. Seven characters could open a Planar Path, so what kind of power would the remaining twenty-six characters possess?
But fortunately, he had already grasped seven of them. This was tantamount to touching upon the core of this mysterious character. As long as he was willing to spend some time, he would be able to calculate the remaining twenty-six characters sooner or later. Moreover, calculations were his specialty. With the Magic Array and advanced formulas, he had a computing ability that surpassed the entire era.
Lin Yun felt that it wouldn't take more than a year for him to calculate these twenty-six characters.
But the rest was more troublesome.
As an Extraordinary Magic Tool, the Book of Death couldn't only have this ability. But now, the Magic Tool Incarnation, Kane, was completely refusing to communicate with him. Lin Yun didn't know how long it would take for him to dig out the secrets of the Book of Death.
'It looks like I have to find a way to force Kane out.'
In the next few days, Lin Yun didn't leave the secret room. Besides calculating those twenty-six characters, he would also replenish mana for the array from time to time. Otherwise, with just a few Abyssal Magic Diamonds and the Frost Lich Heart, the Planar Path would have already been closed.
On the morning of the 7th day, Lin Yun had just spread out a piece of paper, intending to continue his work from the day before, when the surrounding space suddenly distorted and William Merlin walked out.
"What about Faleau?" Lin Yun casually asked while immersed in his calculations.
"He's still reluctant to come out …" William Merlin still felt that he had been dreaming for the past few days. He looked at Lin Yun with admiration. "Cousin, your move is really beautiful. Fifty 5th Rank Mages, and one of them advanced to the 6th Rank in a few days. Now, they are all doing their best to stay in the camp. Don't you know that the camp's mana is already completely condensed? Meditating there once is equivalent to meditating a hundred times …"
"Then let them stay for three more days, but they have to come out after that. That place's environment is very different from Noscent, staying too long might cause trouble." Lin Yun thought for a bit, and seeing that William Merlin didn't intend to leave, he put down the quill in his hand. After tidying up a bit, he stood up and asked, "Let's go to the Gilded Rose to take a look?"
"Okay, I just happen to have a batch of Nether Iron Ores to bring over." William Merlin shook the Spatial Ring in his hand. That was what Lin Yun had given him after entering the Bone Plane. The six puppets had been working at full capacity for seven days and had already filled up the entire Spatial Ring. Otherwise, William Merlin wouldn't have been willing to come out.
After leaving the house, the two didn't call for a carriage and just walked to Victorious Return Street.
The Gilded Rose's business was still very good. There were about a dozen carriages parked outside, all sent by the major forces of Thousand Sails City. Looking carefully, there was the Silver Moon Mercenaries, the Viper Nest, the Snow Fox Mercenaries, and even the Sage Tower and the Alchemist Guild. These were all first-rate forces of Thousand Sails City, and they had all become the most loyal customers of the Gilded Rose.
"What's wrong?" Lin Yun was about to enter when he suddenly discovered that William Merlin was stunned in front of a carriage.
"Someone from the Family has come …"
