And this was only the crudest processing of the Abyssal Magic Diamond.
If it fell into the hands of a Great Alchemist, the radiance of the Abyssal Magic Diamond would truly blossom. Those peak Great Alchemists could even use the Abyssal Magic Diamond to craft a Spiritual Grade Magic Tool!
What kind of concept was Spiritual Grade?
Most of the Magic Tools circulating on the market were Excellent Grade, but the cheapest one would cost over ten thousand golds. Above the Excellent Grade were the Excellent Grade and the Inheritance Grade, and above that was the Spiritual Grade. Many Great Alchemists pursued a Spiritual Grade Magic Tool throughout their lives.
Spiritual Grade also meant that it had spirituality. A Magic Tool of that level wasn't as simple as a piece of equipment. It was connected to the master's bloodline, and its power was comparable to that of a High Mage.
In other words, having a Spiritual Grade Magic Tool was equivalent to having a High Mage in battle!
And now, there were no less than three Abyssal Magic Diamonds in front of Lin Yun.
This was simply devoid of conscience!
If these three Abyssal Magic Diamonds were taken out, all the alchemists of Thousand Sails City would go crazy!
'Hold on, what is this …' While feeling dizzy, Lin Yun suddenly noticed that there were some runes engraved at the center of the three Abyssal Magic Diamonds.
Lin Yun leaned against the stone wall and studied it for a while before figuring out what was going on. This was an array made of six runes, and its specific function was to extract mana from the three Abyssal Magic Diamonds. But as he looked at the six runes, things became more complicated.
There was also an array set up under the three Abyssal Magic Diamonds, but the structure of this array was a hundred times more complicated than the previous one, and a hundred times more expensive.
Every rune was written in Void Ink, and some of the mana circuits even used Spirit Burning Ink. Not to mention, there were no less than twenty mana nodes. Even with Lin Yun's insight, he could barely make out the effect of this array. It should be using the mana provided by the Abyssal Magic Diamond to maintain the stability of the space.
'Space?' Lin Yun stared at the three Abyssal Magic Diamonds and suddenly realized a possibility.
No wonder …
One question after another was answered when Lin Yun saw that array.
At this time, Lin Yun no longer needed to study the array, because even if he didn't study it, Lin Yun knew that there was a path behind the wall embedded with the three Abyssal Gems.
A Planar Path!
The so-called Planar Path was a passage between planes. In fact, in the early days of the 3rd Dynasty, some people suggested that Noscent wasn't the only one in the boundless universe, but this theory didn't have much of a market at that time.
It wasn't until the end of the Third Dynasty that this theory was brought up again. Some mages began to try to prove the existence of other dimensions. In the last hundred years of the Third Dynasty, the powerful Crimson Tower finally opened a Dimensional Path.
Then …
After that, there was nothing else. The most powerful group of mages of the Crimson Tower never returned after stepping onto the Planar Path. The entire Crimson Tower fell apart in a single night, and in the end, it completely disappeared amidst the endless internal and external troubles.
For a long time after that, the Planar Path became a taboo topic.
All the way until today, many years later …
All kinds of magic research matured day by day, and the mages became more and more powerful. At the same time, their ambitions expanded, especially when some lucky ones brought back all kinds of rare resources from other planes. Planar colonization became a common topic for all mages in this era. The planes hidden behind the Planar Path were like golden paradises in the eyes of mages.
But there were only a few known Planar Paths, and most of them were in the hands of Noscent's most powerful forces. Trying to get a share from them was no different from courting death.
Thus, every time a new Planar Path appeared, it would attract countless forces to fight over it. To them, a new Planar Path meant endless wealth and endless opportunities. For the sake of a new Planar Path, they were willing to pay an unimaginable price.
Back then, after Lin Yun finished reading Noscent's history and understood the era he was in, why did he immediately decide to take over the Flashing Gold chamber of commerce? It was because Lin Yun wanted to use the power of the Flashing Gold chamber of commerce to open his own Planar Path. To a mage, there was no greater temptation than a private plane.
That wasn't as simple as endless wealth and opportunities.
A private plane under complete control would be the starting point for a mage to transcend mortals and stand above all living beings. That represented the power of an entire plane. This was also why, when Noscent's magic civilization flourished to its peak, those powerful mages were almost omnipotent, yet they still endlessly fought for planes!
But at that time, Lin Yun truly hadn't expected that there would be such a Planar Path hidden in a secret room under his house.
'Looks like these three Abyssal Magic Diamonds really can't be touched …' Although this decision made Lin Yun feel a bit pained, compared to an entire plane, three Abyssal Magic Diamonds really weren't much.
Lin Yun was even certain that these three Abyssal Magic Diamonds had most likely been brought back by Locke Merlin from the other side of the passage. Abyssal Magic Diamonds, which were priceless in Noscent, might be everywhere in another plane.
Thinking of this, Lin Yun didn't touch the three Abyssal Magic Diamonds and started concentrating on studying the array on the stone wall. The level of this array was very high. Lin Yun estimated that an ordinary Great Alchemist might not be able to reach this level. It was most likely a peak Great Alchemist, or even a Master Alchemist.
Lin Yun had spent most of his twenty years at the end of the magic era working hard to survive, and the rest of his time was spent on magic. Dabbling in alchemy was just something he did in passing, so he didn't really spend much energy on it. Apart from filling his brain with alchemy knowledge, the number of times he actually did something could be counted on one hand.
Cracking this kind of Master Alchemist level array was already a bit strenuous for Lin Yun.
After about half an hour, Lin Yun's gaze moved away from the stone wall.
'Sure enough, it's a Master Alchemist …' After analyzing the entire structure of the array, Lin Yun was already 100% sure that this array had definitely come from the hands of a Master Alchemist.
But fortunately, this Master Alchemist might have been careless, or it might have been because he was confident, but in short, he didn't set up any obstacles in the array.
Thus, it only took Lin Yun a few minutes to finish cracking the opening rune.
After Lin Yun softly chanted the opening rune formed from Nesser Runes, the three Abyssal Magic Diamonds suddenly blossomed with a dazzling light. In an instant, the entire room was dyed red, and the surrounding space could clearly be seen distorting. Fierce mana fluctuations were wreaking havoc in the room, and that kind of berserk energy was almost tangible. Even the air seemed to be faintly shaking.
At the same time, the radiance of the three Abyssal Magic Diamonds became even more dazzling, and the entire array started frantically operating, doing its utmost to suppress those berserk mana fluctuations.
Opening the Planar Path was equivalent to tearing space, and even a wisp of power leaking out wasn't something a small room could bear. If not for the suppression of the Master Alchemist level array, let alone this small room, even a 9th Rank Mage like Lin Yun would have been instantly annihilated.
As these two equally powerful forces fought and suppressed each other, the surrounding space distorted to the extreme, and at the same time, a black crack gradually expanded.
This was the Planar Path!
Lin Yun didn't hesitate and directly rushed in!
Because time was too tight, although the three Abyssal Magic Diamonds were priceless, they were far from enough to maintain the Planar Path. This was equivalent to forcibly connecting two different planes, and the power needed could only be described as terrifying.
Lin Yun estimated that this Planar Path wouldn't last more than thirty minutes. If he couldn't rush back within thirty minutes, he would forever be lost in some unknown plane.
Nothing could be done about it, Lin Yun wasn't one of those mages at the peak of Noscent's magic civilization. They could cross planes with their bodies, but Lin Yun didn't have that ability.
Lin Yun only felt a blur as he rushed into the Planar Path.
Then, the world before his eyes completely changed.
He was no longer surrounded by a narrow secret chamber. Instead, he was surrounded by a vast expanse of black land. The sky above his head was dark, and apart from a dark red crescent moon, there was no other light. The air was filled with a strong rotting smell. It felt as if the entire world was rotting …
'What is this place?' Lin Yun vigilantly looked around while quickly recalling if he had ever heard of such a plane before.
But before Lin Yun could recall anything, a faint sound came from under his feet. It sounded like a viper flitting through the grass.
