After ten minutes, the remaining Elemental Spirits in the room were cleaned up. Lin Yun took out a few magic crystals to replenish his mana while looking around. When he first came in, he was surrounded by endless Elemental Spirits. It was only now that he had the opportunity to observe the room.
He was suddenly attracted by something in the corner of the room. He walked over and saw a blue crystal ball. It was about the size of a human head and felt cold to the touch. He was curious, 'What is this?'
Emperor Zhantui had spent a lot of money and manpower to build this floating palace, so it was reasonable to say that ordinary things couldn't be placed inside. However, the crystal ball was very ordinary, there wasn't a trace of mana fluctuation on it.
'Could it be a mechanism?'
A thought flashed in Lin Yun's mind. He immediately tried to input his mana into the crystal ball, but to his disappointment, the crystal ball didn't change.
However, Lin Yun didn't give up. He observed the crystal ball from left to right. He wanted to move it, but when his hand touched the bottom of the crystal ball, he found a groove. This discovery made him frown. He touched his pocket and took out the strange magic crystal that he had placed there alone. At this time, he took it out and tried to insert the magic crystal into the groove.
A light flashed and the crystal ball rotated violently. A projection appeared on the opposite wall, but the duration was too short, only about a second. Lin Yun only took a quick glance and didn't even know what the projection was before it disappeared. He couldn't help but feel annoyed. He turned to look at Anderfa, only to see that the other party was also looking at him.
'Could it be that Anderfa discovered something?'
"Anderfa, did you see the projection just now?" Lin Yun looked at Anderfa in bewilderment.
"It looked like a map."
"Map?" Lin Yun frowned. After hearing what Anderfa said, he recalled the previous situation. It indeed looked like a map. He lowered his head to look at the azure crystal ball, and then reached out to touch the groove below, only to find that the strange magical crystal had already been drained of its magic. With a light touch, it turned into ashes. "It seems that the crystal ball is supported by that special energy, and that map is most likely the map of the entire palace!"
"If I want to completely remember that map, I will need a large number of magic crystals. I wonder if there are magic beasts like the Flame Vultures outside in this palace?"
After saying that, Lin Yun and Anderfa walked towards the depths of the palace. The entire palace was like a huge maze with countless rooms and corridors, and they were all exactly the same. It was easy to get lost inside.
For three hours, Lin Yun wandered around the palace. There were many magic beasts here, but their strength wasn't very high. Among the thirteen he encountered, the strongest was only level 32.
During these three hours, he made some new discoveries. There were many sword scars on the walls of the rooms and corridors, as well as faint mana fluctuations. Those mana fluctuations gave him a very familiar feeling. In the Bloodshed Forest, he had collected mana fluctuations belonging to the Gaugass King, and after comparing them, he found that they were indeed the same!
This meant that Emperor Zhantui and the Gaugass King had fought in this palace, and it was very likely that the victor was decided here.
If it was as he guessed, then the six-formula Meditation Law Set might be hidden in a corner of the palace.
However, the interior of the palace was too big. If he wanted to search every room, he didn't know how long it would take. Therefore, he could only pin his hopes on the map projected by the crystal ball. He hoped that the map could provide him with some clues. Soon, he returned to the room and inserted the magical crystals into the grooves with ease. Immediately, the crystal ball changed, and an image was reflected on the opposite wall. It was indeed a map. This time, the crystal ball was supported by a total of 13 magical crystals. It lasted for more than 10 seconds before the image disappeared.
With Lin Yun's memory, ten seconds was more than enough for him to accurately memorize all the details of the map. But when the map appeared, there were seven hard-to-detect light dots scattered in seven different directions. He secretly memorized them, but he couldn't figure out what they represented.
According to the map in his memory, Lin Yun fumbled around the palace for a long time, but he didn't find anything. He did encounter a lot of magic beasts, but after killing them, he didn't even take the magic beasts' mana crystals. Apart from supporting the operation of the crystal ball, the mana crystals contained four kinds of elements were useless.
When he reached a certain place, he frowned. It was a black wall, very different from the other buildings of the palace. Moreover, there was an array drawn on the black wall.
Lin Yun walked to the side of the black wall and softly knocked a few times with his hand.
A "hollow" sound echoed from the inside of the wall. Without a doubt, the inside of the wall should be hollow, and the wall definitely wasn't thick. This meant that there might be a secret room hidden inside.
Lin Yun stood in front of the wall for a very long time.
Because Lin Yun suddenly recalled that he had spent a large amount of mana crystals to see the map. Lin Yun clearly remembered that the location of this wall was one of the seven light dots on the map.
If he entered the secret room behind the wall, he might be able to find out what those seven light dots represented.
But opening this wall would be a bit difficult. In the center of the wall was a compound array. It was different from an ordinary array. This compound array was made of three arrays, and they were very closely connected.
Lin Yun carefully looked at it for a bit and knew that of the three arrays forming the Compound Array, two of them represented Activate and Self-Destruct.
If the array was attacked, or if there was a miscalculation during the process of cracking the array, the self-destruction function would be triggered. The destructive power generated at that moment wouldn't be inferior to an all-out attack of an Archmage. It would ultimately turn the wall and the secret room behind it into ruins.
What made Lin Yun rejoice was that the three arrays forming the compound array hadn't reached the True Spirit level. This discovery made him relax.
But it was only a sigh of relief.
Because this was a compound array, but it was a genuine True Spirit array.
Most of the techniques used were in the Master Alchemist realm, but the amount of calculations was extremely huge. A peak Master Alchemist would need at least a few months of sleepless calculations. Moreover, this compound array had a self-destruction program.
Even Lin Yun had no choice but to cautiously hold a quill and quickly calculate on a thick piece of paper. It took him about three hours to calculate the characters needed to open the secret room.
He picked up the quill and very carefully inputted the nine characters into the compound array. Suddenly, the array's mana circuits fiercely flickered, and a "bang" sound echoed as the black wall revealed enough space for a person to pass through.
Lin Yun didn't immediately go in. He was clearly on guard, there were too many strange things about this palace. He waved the Doom Staff in his hand and a Mage Eye drilled into the secret room, allowing him to see everything inside. The secret room was very small and very spacious. There was only a palm-sized crystal lying on the floor of the secret room.
After confirming that there was no danger, Lin Yun walked in and held the crystal in his hand, sizing it up. Crystals had a memory function and were usually used by mages to record information. After a pause, he tried to inject mana into the crystal chip. In an instant, the crystal chip changed, and countless azure runes appeared.
'The complete Elemental Tide …' Lin Yun froze before putting the crystal away. Before coming to the Tulan Mountain Range, he had been helping Ross and Merlin calculate the Elemental Tide's subsequent Meditation Law Sets, so he had a deep memory of the Elemental Tide. He recognized the azure runes with one glance.
The appearance of the Elemental Tide had more or less confirmed some of his conjectures. He originally felt that the seven dots on the map had some special meaning, and it looked like he was right.
Leon Merlin said that the Gaugass King had left behind a total of seven magic inheritances, and the Elemental Tide Meditation Law Set, as well as the Magic Conducting Rune, the Arcane Ring, were part of it.
'The seven dots on the map most likely represent the seven magic inheritances of the Gaugass King, and that six-formula Meditation Law Set is most likely one of them …'
Lin Yun thoughtfully walked out of the secret room. In order to confirm his conjecture, he impatiently rushed towards the location of the other light dot according to his memory.
He spent about two days and encountered at least a few dozen magic beasts. After fighting, Lin Yun's robe was covered in blood. He cracked a large number of compound arrays, and including the secret room where the Elemental Tide was hidden, he found a total of six secret rooms and obtained three complete Meditation Law Sets and three Magic Conducting Runes, including the Arcane Ring used by Leon Merlin.
But when he reached the 7th secret room, Lin Yun was stunned.
The 7th secret room was located in the center of the palace, and it was relatively spacious. After cracking the compound arrays, Lin Yun impatiently walked in. After all, the 7th secret room was most likely hiding the six-formula Meditation Law Set, but the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
The previous six secret rooms all had a crystal chip, representing the magic inheritance of the Gaugass King, but there was nothing similar to a crystal chip in this room.
This was a bit illogical.
Lin Yun couldn't help frowning. To be honest, this result was completely out of his expectations. He had thought that one of the seven secret rooms would hide the six-formula Meditation Law Set, but now …
