Lin Yun clearly remembered that the Planar Path leading to the Heaven Enlightening Plane had a common characteristic in all kinds of descriptions: wisps of golden aura. Lin Yun slowly crouched down at the entrance of the Planar Path, his eyes staring at the wisps of golden aura.
This time, Lin Yun didn't use his Magic Array to analyze it. Instead, he looked in his pocket and took out the Angel Potion he had compounded.
Then, he opened the bottle of Angel Potion and placed it near the overflowing golden aura. In an instant, the bottle of Angel Potion seemed to boil. At the same time, a strong aura of life spread throughout the treasury …
'Sure enough, it's the Heaven Enlightening Plane …' At this time, Lin Yun was 90% sure that this Planar Path led to the Heaven Enlightening Plane that countless people yearned for day and night.
Only this kind of golden aura from the Heaven Enlightening Plane could contain such powerful mana, as well as such a strong aura of life.
It could be seen from the almost boiling Angel Potion. The Angel Potion compounded by Lin Yun's hands was far more stable than the works of ordinary alchemists, but such a stable alchemy structure still boiled in an instant. There was only one possibility for such a situation, it was due to the infusion of extremely powerful mana. Only at such a time would the Angel Potion's alchemy structure fluctuate, causing the entire Angel Potion to boil.
Coupled with that rich and intoxicating aura of life, Lin Yun was almost certain of the existence of the Heaven Enlightening Plane.
After figuring this out, Lin Yun couldn't help sighing. He truly hadn't expected that the Planar Path to the Heaven Enlightening Plane, which had appeared in countless legends in Noscent but had never been seen by anyone, was actually hidden in an underground ruin of the Four Seasons Canyon.
'Merlin, where does this Planar Path lead to …' While Lin Yun was sighing, Solomon and Lys couldn't help being curious.
In fact, this couldn't be blamed on them.
After entering the treasury, strange things happened one after another. First, priceless magic materials appeared, followed by Fran entering the Archmage realm. Then, as a 9th Rank Great Mage, Merlin defeated the Archmage Fran, and it wasn't over yet. After defeating Fran, the young Great Mage used the Crystal Scales to open a Planar Path.
It was as if a whole new world had suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes.
Although Solomon and Lys could be said to be experienced and knowledgeable, these two powerhouses standing at the peak of Thousand Sails City couldn't help but ask after seeing these strange things happening again and again.
"This Planar Path …" Lin Yun thought for a bit before continuing, "At the end of this Planar Path is a mythical plane. Every grain of sand and drop of water there is a priceless treasure in Noscent …"
"…" Hearing Lin Yun's exaggerated description, Solomon and Lys looked at each other before holding their breaths.
The two of them knew a bit about this young Great Mage's wealth. The Gilded Rose had already monopolized the alchemy business of Thousand Sails City. In less than a year, they had already amassed a huge amount of wealth. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Mafa Merlin was the richest man in Thousand Sails City.
But now, this young richest man of Thousand Sails City actually said such a thing.
In that case, the value of this unknown plane would probably far exceed everyone's imagination …
Moreover …
From the young Great Mage's serious expression, the two of them guessed that the value of this unknown plane might even surpass the priceless magic materials in the treasury.
At this time, the two of them couldn't recover from their shock.
It felt as if they were walking on the street, only to suddenly see a pile of gold fall from the sky. This was too inconceivable. They originally thought that the magic materials in the treasury were already the greatest harvest of the joint exploration team, but they hadn't expected that there would be an even more frightening unknown plane waiting for them.
Thinking of this, the two of them couldn't help showing a trace of eagerness in their eyes.
"But …" However, Lin Yun's next words were like a bucket of cold water being poured over their heads. "This mythical plane also has unimaginable dangers …"
"What is there to be afraid of?" Hearing this, Solomon disapprovingly said, "Isn't this damned place Vaughn left behind dangerous? Didn't we still rush through it?"
"No, High Mage Solomon, these two are different. No matter how dangerous Vaughn's alchemy laboratory was, it was only a place left behind by an Artisan. At most, it would only be at the Heaven Rank. But the plane behind this Planar Path is different. This is a plane that has never been discovered by anyone. No one knows what kind of dangers there are."
"Maybe there isn't any danger."
"Haha, High Mage Solomon, stand a bit closer." Lin Yun beckoned to Solomon, and when Solomon walked over with a baffled expression, he continued, "Try to feel the mana fluctuations here …"
"Eh?" Solomon froze at first, but he did as Lin Yun said and calmed down to feel the mana fluctuations in the surroundings.
Then, this peak High Mage's expression completely changed.
"Heavens …" The substantial mana fluctuations near the Planar Path's entrance had completely exceeded Saruman's imagination. It was too frightening. Saruman couldn't even understand what kind of power could leave such astonishing mana fluctuations even after crossing an endless distance and distorting space.
At this time, Solomon already knew that he had said something stupid.
A plane with such a level of power, even if there was nothing on it, definitely wasn't a place a High Mage could easily set foot on. To exaggerate a bit, a light breeze or a snowflake could easily kill a Great Mage. This wasn't a joke, that level of power was too shocking.
Saruman finally understood why the young Great Mage said that it was a plane like a mythical kingdom.
This was because only omnipotent and mighty Gods could possibly live in a plane of this level of power.
At this time, Solomon couldn't even say anything. After no less than a minute, his face was deathly pale as he stammered, "Merlin, that … What kind of plane is that?"
"You can call it a mythical plane."
"Then we … Then we …" This time, Solomon didn't dare to say that he wasn't afraid of danger. In fact, this couldn't even be described as dangerous. Once they set foot on such a plane, it would be like walking on the edge of a knife or swimming in magma. It would be too optimistic to say that they would only have a slim chance of survival.
"Everyone, decide for yourselves. The richness of this plane definitely surpasses everyone's imagination. Just like I said, a grain of sand or a drop of water might be a priceless treasure in Noscent, but at the same time, the danger of this plane far surpasses everyone's imagination. If you aren't careful, even Archmages can easily fall …"
After Lin Yun said this, the entire treasury became silent.
The entire exploration team, a dozen or so people, sank into contemplation. This choice was too difficult. On one side was boundless wealth, and on the other side was danger. At this time, even William, Merlin, Solomon, and Lys, these people who trusted Lin Yun the most, didn't dare to immediately make a decision.
"I'll withdraw." The first to withdraw was that Elder of the Monchi Family. The Monchi Family had contributed the least in this expedition to the Four Seasons Canyon. It could be imagined that when they returned to Thousand Sails City to divide the spoils, the Monchi Family would inevitably get the smallest share. Since that was the case, why would they take such a huge risk?
Of course, this elder of the Monchi Family also had some dark thoughts in his heart …
For example …
The plane behind this Planar Path was so dangerous. If the entire exploration team fell inside, wouldn't the Monchi Family be able to monopolize all the magic materials in the treasury?
Naturally, he only dared to think about this in his heart.
"I'll also withdraw …" Contrary to everyone's expectations, the second to withdraw was actually Sauss.
After all, Sauss was the leader of Thousand Sails City's largest underground force. He had always been famous for his ruthlessness. Back when he was still a hoodlum, he dared to assassinate Thousand Sails City's public security officer with a dagger. Who would have thought that after a few dozen years, his courage would become so small …
But Lin Yun looked at Sauss and smiled.
Because Lin Yun knew that after the Viper Nest obtained the Magic Spring, they had already accelerated the expansion of the Poison Fog Canyon. Now, they were approaching the temple dedicated to the Haiba Dragon God. How could Sauss take the risk at this time?
"Merlin, what do you plan to do?" Solomon quietly asked after struggling for a while.
Lin Yun thought for a bit. "If nothing unexpected happens, I should go in and take a look. After all, this is an undiscovered plane. Even if I can't get any benefits from it, it would be good to leave behind the coordinates. I might have a chance to use it later …"
"Then I'll go with you."
"Me too."
"Cousin, I'll go with you."
Many people responded to Lin Yun's declaration. Solomon, Lys, Merlin, and even the cowardly Draconic Beastman had sullen expressions after hearing Lin Yun's words. "Sir Merlin, before you throw away your life, can you cancel my contract?"
"What do you think?"
"Then … Then I'll go with you …" The Draconic Beastman was on the verge of crying. He looked at the few hesitating people with envy and jealousy, thinking, 'You should be content, you can choose whether you want to go or not, but I don't even have the right to choose …'
Soon, the joint exploration team was divided into two factions.
There were about eight people who didn't want to enter the Planar Path. Besides the Monchi Family's Elder and Sauss, there was also Cadgar, who had always been on good terms with Lin Yun.
The only ones left were those willing to take the risk with Lin Yun.
Solomon, Lys, William Merlin, Xiuban, and Sasu. But what no one had expected was that the two from the Mercury Tower, Suyass and Fran, actually chose to take the risk. Even Lin Yun was startled when the two of them made their stand. Suyass was fine, but what about Fran? He had just lost two fingers, how could he be so bold?
In fact, this was something Lin Yun didn't understand about the Mercury Tower.
Fran was already a bit marginalized in the Mercury Tower, and this time, he caused such a huge disaster. Not only did he lose two fingers, but he also made Suyass pay a huge price to get him back from Lin Yun's hands. Fran would definitely be severely punished when he returned, and even if Nolan didn't say anything, Suyass would definitely make him suffer the consequences.
Right now, Fran's only chance was this newly opened Planar Path. If he was lucky enough to obtain some benefits, or even secretly record the coordinates of that mysterious plane, as long as he could bring it back to the Mercury Tower, it would be a great contribution. It would be more than enough to make up for the mistakes he had made before.
Unfortunately …
Fran didn't know that this mythical plane Lin Yun called a plane was different from any plane he knew of.
The biggest difference was the key.
A plane with the power of the Heaven Enlightening Plane couldn't be opened with ordinary power. Even the Crystal Scales in Lin Yun's hands could only be opened once. After that, the Crystal Scales would lose all their power and become an ordinary item.
Naturally, only Lin Yun knew this.
Only Lin Yun knew that the two rings he was wearing, as well as the magic staff he was holding, didn't have a single wisp of mana left. The entire heaven-defying Spiritual Magic Tool Set had already been reduced to ordinary items.
In other words, there was only one chance to enter the Heaven Enlightening Plane. Even if Fran recorded the coordinates, he wouldn't have another chance to enter the Heaven Enlightening Plane.
Unless Fran could find another key to open the Heaven Enlightening Plane …
Soon, Lin Yun's group was ready to set off. As for the remaining seven or eight unwilling to take the risk, they had their own tasks. They would be in charge of organizing the magic materials and distributing them according to their previous agreement before dividing them according to their contributions.
In any case, everyone came from Thousand Sails City, so they weren't worried about them stuffing their own pockets.
Naturally …
If Lin Yun's group fell in the Heaven Enlightening Plane, then it wouldn't be too easy to say.
Lin Yun was the first to enter the Planar Path. After all, 99% of the members of the joint exploration team decided to take the risk because they believed in Lin Yun.
As he entered the Planar Path, Lin Yun realized that the mysterious Heaven Enlightening Plane was different from any plane he had seen before. This Planar Path was really too long.
Lin Yun walked on the Planar Path for about three minutes without seeing the end.
What kind of concept was this?
After all, the Planar Path itself was used to distort space. No matter how far it was, after going through the Planar Path's spatial distortion, it would become very close and could be reached in an instant. But now, Lin Yun had been walking on the Planar Path for a full three minutes. This also meant that the Heaven Enlightening Plane was unimaginably far from Noscent.
After another three minutes, Lin Yun saw a glimmer of light.
Then …
That glimmer of light became brighter and brighter. At first, it was like a faintly discernible firefly, but soon, that glimmer of light turned into a rising sun in Lin Yun's line of sight. As Lin Yun was inwardly startled, boundless light blossomed in front of him, illuminating the entire world as if it was daytime!
Lin Yun subconsciously raised his hand to cover his eyes.
But then, just as Lin Yun raised his hand, it froze in the air.
"This …" Lin Yun didn't dare to believe his eyes, because when Lin Yun raised his hand, he suddenly discovered a withered corpse at his feet!
Lin Yun was stunned. This was too outrageous. Even if Lin Yun's imagination was rich, he wouldn't have thought that he would see a withered corpse halfway through the Planar Path.
'What's going on?' Lin Yun stood there in a daze for a long time before cautiously bending down to carefully examine that withered corpse. The corpse was at Lin Yun's feet. Lin Yun hadn't noticed it before because the light in front of him had been too intense. Now that he raised his hand to cover his eyes, Lin Yun could clearly see it.
This corpse seemed to belong to a human, and most likely a human mage, because the corpse was wearing a black robe. Although the robe wasn't emitting fierce mana fluctuations, as a peak Master Alchemist, Lin Yun could see with a glance that this robe had once been a True Spirit Magic Tool.
But for some unknown reason, that True Spirit Magic Tool's Incarnation had already dissipated, and its mana had already been exhausted. Only an ordinary robe was left behind.
Seeing this, Lin Yun became even more curious about the corpse's identity.
After all, a True Spirit Magic Tool wasn't something that could be casually taken out.
'Star Sage Joy is powerful enough, isn't his status high enough? But you want him to casually take out a True Spirit Magic Tool and see if he can do it … '
