Originally, Lin Yun didn't know much about Vaughn's laboratory. After all, compared to the Vaughn Treasury on Crystal Island, this laboratory's reputation was far inferior. The only thing Lin Yun remembered was that there was a Spiritual Magic Tool set, the Crystal Scales, a treasury filled with magic materials, as well as six discarded Alchemic Mana Whirlpools. As for the rest, Lin Yun didn't know much.
But when Lin Yun entered the stone tower and saw Fran fuse with the Crystal Scales, Lin Yun finally remembered that this wasn't just a treasury or a set of Crystal Scales. The most important thing here was a path, a Planar Path.
It was different from the other Planar Paths Lin Yun knew.
This Planar Path had never truly appeared in Noscent. Even the Ivory Tower, which had left behind this information, hadn't been able to open a path to this Planar Path.
In those days, the Ivory Tower went on an expedition to Crystal Island. After a bitter battle, they defeated many powerful enemies and ultimately seized Vaughn's treasury. The huge resources and profound technology made the Ivory Tower's power soar once again. In the next few hundred years, they occupied a place among the peak forces of Noscent.
After seizing Vaughn's treasury, the Ivory Tower's exploration lasted for almost twenty years. Among them, a Heaven Mage made some unexpected discoveries in the final stages of the exploration.
That Heaven Mage discovered that Vaughn had left some notes in the treasury. Written in those notes was that Vaughn had discovered an incomparably fertile plane. All kinds of descriptions were extremely exaggerated. That note shocked the entire Ivory Tower. If everything written in those notes was true, then that plane's fertility was at least ten times that of the Bone Plane!
This wasn't a joke …
The rise of the Ivory Tower was mostly due to the Bone Plane. Now that another plane that was ten times more fertile than the Bone Plane had appeared, how could the Ivory Tower let it go?
After a tense discussion, the entire Ivory Tower began to search for clues about this mysterious plane. This search took the Ivory Tower 50 years. During these 50 years, the Ivory Tower had searched almost all the ruins related to Vaughn.
But in the end, they only found some scattered clues.
The only thing he was certain of was that the key to this mysterious plane was a Spiritual Magic Tool Set.
At that time, the Ivory Tower was like the sun at high noon in Noscent. Let alone an insignificant Spiritual Magic Tool Set, the Ivory Tower could even obtain a True Spirit Magic Tool Set. The Ivory Tower immediately issued a bounty and used a price that would make any Heaven Rank powerhouse go crazy to search for that Spiritual Magic Tool Set.
In the end, they searched for another few hundred years …
The three young mages that mistakenly entered the Bone Plane had already reached the peak of the Ivory Tower. An entire era had passed, but there was finally some news of that Spiritual Magic Tool Set that could open the mysterious plane.
At that time, the Ivory Tower was still powerful.
With almost all of their forces, that Spiritual Magic Tool Set fell into the hands of the Ivory Tower. Heaven Mage Bane personally made a move and easily suppressed the Crystal Scales' Incarnation.
In the next ten years, Bane started comprehending the secrets of the Crystal Scales.
Time slowly passed, and for an entire ten years, Bane didn't take a step out of the Ivory Tower.
After ten years, Bane finally walked out of the Ivory Tower.
Then, a strange thing happened …
Almost everyone discovered that Bane's mana hadn't improved in the slightest over the past ten years. Instead, it had regressed by one rank. That was a rank above the Heaven Rank. When he suppressed the Crystal Scales' Incarnation, Bane was already a 9th Rank Heaven Mage. But after ten years, he walked out of the Ivory Tower and returned to the 8th Rank.
What was even more frightening was that the power of the Crystal Scales had increased by leaps and bounds during these ten years. When it fell into Bane's hands, it was only a Spiritual Magic Tool Set, but after ten years, it unexpectedly reached the realm of a True Spirit Magic Tool Set!
This discovery shocked the entire ivory tower almost overnight.
At this time, Bane helplessly told everyone that the Crystal Scales had been absorbing his mana for the past ten years, and that this kind of absorption couldn't be resisted. In the first few years, he could rely on a lot of meditation to barely keep up with the Crystal Scales' absorption speed, but in the following years, as the Crystal Scales absorbed more and more mana, its power kept growing stronger and stronger. The previous fragile balance was thoroughly broken and his mana level kept falling from the 9th Rank of the Heaven realm to the 8th Rank of the Heaven realm.
Thus, the Ivory Tower was faced with a difficult problem.
Should they keep searching for that mysterious plane, or should they save Bane?
The Ivory Tower's Council quickly decided to save Bane at all costs.
In the end, the Crystal Scales were thoroughly broken and the Magic Tool Incarnation was thoroughly destroyed, freeing Bane from the Crystal Scales' troubles.
But at the same time, the Ivory Tower forever lost the possibility of entering that mysterious plane.
Originally, the story should have ended here.
However, there was one more thing that needed to be added. Although the Crystal Scales had been completely destroyed, there were still many mages in the Ivory Tower who continued to search for clues about the mysterious plane. Needless to say, in the ten years that followed, they really found a lot of clues.
At that time, the Ivory Tower was already certain that the location of that Planar Passage was most likely in one of Vaughn's alchemy laboratories. Moreover, the characteristics of that alchemy laboratory were very clear. It was a floating stone tower specialized in puppet production!
This was also why Lin Yun wasn't envious when he saw Fran obtaining the Crystal Scales. Instead, he was rejoicing in Fran's misfortune.
The evil nature of the Crystal Scales simply wasn't something Fran could imagine. Let alone Fran, even the peak Heaven Mage Bane, who had once stood at the peak of the Heaven Rank, could be said to be invincible throughout his life, and the Book of Death in his hands was a genuine Extraordinary Magic Tool.
But so what? In the end, the Crystal Scales crazily absorbed his mana and he fell from the 9th Rank of the Heaven realm to the 8th Rank of the Heaven realm.
If that was the case for Bane, then what about Fran?
Lin Yun even dared to bet his head that if Fran really brought the Crystal Scales back, he would be sucked dry within a month. At that time, let alone Suyass, even Nolan wouldn't be able to save him.
The power of the Crystal Scales was undoubtedly very formidable.
Lin Yun had seen all kinds of Magic Tools, but he couldn't find one as powerful as the Crystal Scales. Fran was only a 5th Rank High Mage, but with the Crystal Scales, he was forcibly pushed to the Archmage realm. Even his alchemy had reached the Artisan realm.
Such a frightening increase in power was something Lin Yun had never seen before.
If it had been any other Magic Tool, Lin Yun would have unhesitantly given up on that mysterious plane. Although the mysterious plane was incomparably fertile, it was also full of variables. Lin Yun had never trusted this kind of thing that he couldn't truly grasp.
In contrast, the Crystal Scales that could greatly increase his power was what Lin Yun truly wanted.
But unfortunately, the Crystal Scales were too strange, and Lin Yun didn't have the confidence to control them. Even Bane couldn't resist that kind of mana absorption, let alone Lin Yun.
Thus, Lin Yun only hesitated for a bit before quickly making his decision.
He put the two rings on his ring fingers and held the magic staff covered in mysterious runes with both hands. In a flash, Lin Yun felt an incomparable power flooding his body.
"Human, do you want to become the new master of the Crystal Scales? I can give you boundless power, I can give you boundless wealth, I can give you … "At the same time, a tempting voice echoed in the depths of Lin Yun 'mind.
"Shut up!" Lin Yun knew that this was the Incarnation of the Crystal Scales, but it was different from how it had deceived Fran. This time, the Incarnation chose to tempt him.
But unfortunately, he had already heard of Bane's fate 30,000 years later.
Otherwise, he might really be tempted by that evil Magic Tool Incarnation.
After Lin Yun coldly snorted, a large amount of mana started pouring into the Crystal Scales. Under the rousing of the mana, the two rings started flickering with a strange light. The magic staff in his hand looked dim, but the entire joint exploration team could feel a surging power brewing within it.
Mysterious characters came out of Lin Yun 'mouth one after another. These were the results of Bane's ten years of research. These characters ultimately formed an extremely cryptic incantation. As Lin Yun chanted the incantation louder and louder, the two rings became even more dazzling. At the same time, the power brewing within the magic staff started flowing like a flood.
"Open for me!" As Lin Yun chanted the last character from the Book of Death, the light on the two rings instantly dimmed. At the same time, the originally dim magic staff suddenly blossomed with an incomparably dazzling light that illuminated the entire treasury.
Then, only Lin Yun could be seen holding the magic staff and softly slashing it in the air.
A Planar Path had opened …
This Planar Path was completely different from any Planar Path that Lin Yun had opened before. The surrounding space was distorted to the extreme, and even the Planar Path itself looked intermittent, as if it could disappear at any time.
What was even more frightening was that a huge mana fluctuation was slowly being emitted from the entrance of the Planar Path.
'The Ivory Tower didn't spend a few hundred years in vain …' Lin Yun stood at the entrance of the Planar Path and couldn't help feeling apprehensive as he sensed the huge amount of mana coming from within.
At this time, Lin Yun was already 100% certain that this plane's richness wasn't just ten times that of the Bone Plane.
It had to be known that the amazing magical fluctuations came from the other end of the Planar Path. The Planar Path seemed to be a path, but in fact, it was a passage that connected two different spaces. Think about it, the distance between the two spaces could be described as infinite, but the magical fluctuations could be transmitted from such a far distance. How powerful was the original magical fluctuations?
'Hold on …' Just as Lin Yun was inwardly startled, the wisps of golden light rippling from the Planar Path suddenly attracted Lin Yun's attention.
Traces of golden light could be seen in that distorted space. If one didn't look carefully, they wouldn't be able to discover it ….
The reason why Lin Yun was able to discover them was because Lin Yun had read about them in some materials.
"No way …" This discovery made Lin Yun's jaw drop. His face was filled with shock and sluggishness.
"Merlin, what's wrong?" Solomon's heart tightened.
Solomon understood this young Great Mage too well. It could be said that he had never seen anyone or anything that could make this young Great Mage reveal such an expression.
But now, this young Great Mage was actually showing a sluggish and shocked expression as he stood in front of the Planar Path.
'What's going on?'
"It's nothing …" Lin Yun shook his head, his expression still calm.
But only Lin Yun himself knew that a storm had been set off in his heart.
Because Lin Yun discovered that this Planar Path might very well lead to the Heaven Enlightening Plane.
What kind of place was the Heaven Enlightening Plane?
In the endless void, between the endless planes, the ultimate land. This was the origin of everything, and also the end of everything. In Noscent's long history, countless races rose and countless races declined. But no matter which race it was, they would always mention the existence of the Heaven Enlightening Plane in their legends. This was a plane that had already been deified. Many times, it was even called a God's Plane, or a Mythical Plane.
Moreover, regardless of which race it was, regardless of which legend it was, the description of the Golden Plane was strangely similar. All the races and their legends were stubbornly convinced that the Heaven Enlightening Plane was a mythical world. Anyone who stepped into the Heaven Enlightening Plane would obtain boundless power and eternal life. In the early days, many races regarded the Heaven Enlightening Plane as a God's Country.
Naturally, this view was proven to be absurd and laughable many years later.
At the peak of the magic era, more than twenty Gods fell, including the Haiba Dragon God worshiped by the 3rd Dynasty's royal family. At the peak of the magic civilization, slaying Gods was no longer an unreachable matter, but people discovered that they were still very far from the Heaven Enlightening Plane.
That was the origin of everything, but it was also the end of everything, the ultimate land of the world.
But it was a pity that no matter if it was the Divine Plane or the Mythical Plane, this mysterious plane that had appeared in countless legends had never truly appeared in the eyes of the people. People could only catch a glimpse of the shadow of this land of origin and end through those bizarre and dazzling legends …
Lin Yun remembered that in Noscent's long history, the Heaven Enlightening Plane was the closest to the people of the world. It was the peak of the magic civilization. That was an era of dazzling stars and Heaven Rank powerhouses appeared like a geyser. The once omnipotent Gods and nightmarish Abyssal Overlords fell one after the other. Undead Monarch Sandro, Conqueror Charlie, Sky Knight Martin … One name after another was written into history.
At that time, a Heaven Rank powerhouse traveled between planes and was said to have caught a glimpse of the Heaven Enlightening Plane in the void.
This discovery shocked all of Noscent at the time. Countless powerhouses were stirred and rushed into the void, hoping to see the legendary Heaven Enlightening Plane with their own eyes. They even wanted to personally set foot on this land of origin and end.
Unfortunately, no one succeeded.
A large number of powerhouses fell in the void, but the legendary Heaven Enlightening Plane only existed in legends.
