"What …"
Lin Yun looked at William Merlin in disbelief, shock surging in his heart. Back in the Heaven Enlightening Plane, William Merlin had obtained the crest of the Merlin Family, which contained a soul inheritance. If what William Merlin said was true, then the Dark Sage was most likely the ancestor of the Merlin Family.
After a while, Lin Yun gradually calmed down. After all, it was only a guess. At this time, William Merlin was wholeheartedly studying the Well of Stars. Lin Yun didn't want to disturb him, so he quietly retreated to the side.
After reaching a secluded corner of the study, he put the Element Chapter on the Book of Death. Just as he was about to put it away, Lin Yun suddenly recalled the Three-Eyed Secret Wolf in the Demiplane. He had gone to the Demiplane not long ago and planted the Mana Vines there, but he hadn't seen the shadow of the Three-Eyed Secret Wolf.
Although there was almost no danger in the Demiplane, he was a bit worried since he hadn't seen the Three-Eyed Secret Wolf for several months.
As he thought of this, he unhesitantly chanted a long incantation and appeared in the Natural Demiplane. He threw a dozen Mage Eyes out and walked around the Demiplane while controlling the Mage Eyes. After a dozen minutes, an extremely fast shadow appeared in his line of sight.
"Awooo, awooo, awooo …"
The Three-Eyed Secret Wolf clearly discovered Lin Yun's existence and howled a few times, not afraid of him in the slightest.
"Come here …" Lin Yun frowned. He could clearly feel that the Three-Eyed Secret Wolf had changed a lot. Just its speed was a few times faster than before, and its strength had also undergone a tremendous change. It actually had the power of a magic beast over level 20.
The Three-Eyed Secret Wolf stood there indifferently, its small head softly shaking, not listening to him.
Lin Yun resisted the urge to curse and fished out a few high level magic beasts from his pocket. He knew that a certain wolf had no resistance against magic beasts. Sure enough, an afterimage flashed by and the palm-sized Three-Eyed Secret Wolf had already run over to Lin Yun's palm. It quickly took care of those high level magic crystals before looking at Lin Yun with an impatient expression.
Lin Yun rolled his eyes and didn't pay attention to the Three-Eyed Secret Wolf. He directly used Mana Shackles and put the Three-Eyed Secret Wolf in his pocket before chanting the incantation to open the Planar Path.
Then, Lin Yun appeared in the study. At this time, everyone had basically rested for seven or eight hours. Everyone was in high spirits. Moreover, there seemed to be no point in continuing to stay in this study on the ninth floor …
However, after searching for more than ten minutes, he still couldn't find the passageway to the eighth floor …
It seemed a little strange …
Lin Yun couldn't help frowning. When they arrived at the study and confirmed that there was no danger, everyone relaxed and didn't pay attention to the passageway. Now, it looked like they were in big trouble …
He had walked down from the twelfth floor, and every floor had a passageway, but the ninth floor didn't have one. In fact, the ninth floor was very small. The study was only a few hundred meters wide, and with a dozen people, they could turn it inside out in a few minutes.
Lin Yun cast five Mage Eyes and controlled them to search every corner of the study. Time slowly passed, and after ten minutes, he used the Mage Eyes to scan the study three times, but he still didn't find anything. Only on the fourth time did he start sweating.
"Found it …"
Only then did he heave a sigh of relief. Under the first bookshelf, there was an extremely faint magical wave. Even with his Insight, he didn't notice anything unusual the first three times. Only on the fourth time did he notice it. It showed how weak the magical wave was. Soon, the group lifted the bookshelf and revealed an array.
"Teleportation Array …"
Lin Yun frowned. He was a bit allergic to the Teleportation Array. In the hovering palace, the Teleportation Array that Luo Ning had left behind almost tricked him.
'Where does this Teleportation Array lead to?
It shouldn't be in the Heaven Enlightening Plane, unless Luo Ning was crazy enough to make one in the palace and another in the magic tower … '
"The mana source has dried up …"
Olaro was a Master Alchemist after all, so he could see with a glance that the Teleportation Array's mana source had already dried up. After all, it had been several millennia, so it would be good if the array hadn't been damaged.
Lin Yun nodded and fished out a mana crystal from his pocket before putting it on the mana source. He guessed that this Teleportation Array most likely led to the 8th Floor, but he was a bit curious. The previous few floors had direct passages, so why was there a Teleportation Array here?
'Could it be that the 8th Floor is very special?'
Lin Yun shook his head and tried to activate the Teleportation Array, only to discover that there was no reaction. He frowned and carefully observed for a few minutes before discovering that there was a miniature array embedded in this Teleportation Array. He needed to crack the miniature array before the Teleportation Array could be used normally.
Lin Yun fished out a quill and half a bottle of Melting Ink. Just as he was about to dip the quill in the Melting Ink and start writing on the array, Olaro's voice echoed.
"High Mage Merlin, please wait …" Olaro's voice was very soft, and it contained a trace of fear towards Lin Yun. After saying that, everyone, including Solan, looked at him strangely. Especially the Draconic Beastman, who had just woken up, he was already rejoicing in his misfortune.
Olaro was startled. Just now, he had clearly seen the young mage frown. He anxiously explained, "High Mage Merlin, please don't misunderstand … I didn't mean to disturb you, it's just that that array is very strange. It is embedded in the Teleportation Array, and a small mistake would cause the entire Teleportation Array to be paralyzed. Moreover, the paralyzed Teleportation Array can't be repaired …"
Hearing Olaro's words, everyone suddenly understood and couldn't help worrying.
The paralysis of the Teleportation Array meant that they would be trapped here for the rest of their lives. After all, the 10th Floor had already been occupied by countless puppets and they simply couldn't return.
But Lin Yun acted as if he hadn't heard Olaro's words. He had already dipped his quill in Melting Ink and started writing on the miniature array at an extremely fast speed.
Seeing this scene, everyone looked at Lin Yun, trembling with fear, especially Olaro, his robe was already drenched in cold sweat. This was too frightening, could it be that the young mage didn't do any calculations and just wrote it? Wasn't this just courting death …?
He was a Master Alchemist, yet he would need at least three to five days of calculations to crack the miniature array before daring to start. This young mage was too rash …
'Damn, I'm going to die because of him!'
"Alright …"
While Olaro was preoccupied, Lin Yun had already put down his quill. Olaro's expression changed as he looked at Lin Yun. He had been afraid of Lin Yun before because the other side was too powerful, but now, it was a kind of shock and reverence. To be able to crack the miniature array without any calculations meant that the young mage's attainments in the field of alchemy far surpassed his own. He was at the very least a peak Master Alchemist!
Lin Yun activated the Teleportation Array and felt a flash before his eyes. His feet landed on soft ground and he could feel a rich aura of life.
At first glance, this place was covered in green trees and fragrant grass. Warm sunlight was sprinkling down from above and the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers.
"Where are we … Did we already return to the Tulan Mountain Range?"
The group was looking at the scene before them with wide eyes. Delson was the first to react and excitedly looked around. They originally wanted to use the Teleportation Array to reach the 8th Floor, but they had now returned to the Tulan Mountain Range.
"It really looks like the Tulan Mountain Range …" Dean rubbed his eyes and said in disbelief.
"This is the 8th Floor of the magic tower …"
At this time, Lin Yun's voice echoed, and it was like a bucket of cold water had been poured over everyone's heads. He then looked around and said, "This is indeed the same as the Tulan Mountain Range, but this isn't the Tulan Mountain Range. You can try to sense the Laws here …"
Lin Yun's words made the expressions of Weiss, Solan, and the others change. They were all Archmages and had some contact with Laws. Hearing Lin Yun's words, they tried to sense it, and sure enough, it was as Lin Yun said, this really wasn't the Tulan Mountain Range!
"Mafa … High Mage Merlin, what do you think is going on?" Weiss looked at Lin Yun with a complicated expression.
"An extremely profound Spatial Expansion Array was used here, and a part of the Tulan Mountain Range was copied here …"
Lin Yun looked at all of this in amazement. The amount of manpower and resources needed to build this place was indescribable. He finally understood why Luo Ning described the magic tower as a war fortress.
In this group, the one who understood Luo Ning and Emperor Zhantui the most was naturally Lin Yun. He knew that the two of them were existences surpassing the Heaven Rank, so when he came here and found out that this place was the same as the Tulan Mountain Range, he became doubtful. He then discovered that this was the 8th Floor of the magic tower.
And the fact that there was no passage leading from the 9th Floor to the 8th Floor was instead replaced by a Teleportation Array was very easy to explain.
Although those Spatial Expansion Arrays were very profound, they could easily be affected by external forces. Thus, they were completely sealed and could only be entered and exited through the Teleportation Array. If the passage leading from the 9th Floor to this place was a passage, then the speed at which those arrays were damaged would accelerate.
"High Mage Merlin, how can we go to the next floor …" Delson looked around with an awkward expression. He had thought that he had returned to the Tulan Mountain Range, but he hadn't expected that he would rejoice for nothing.
"We can only try to pass through this mountain range and find another Teleportation Array …" Lin Yun frowned. To be honest, he wasn't confident.
But now that things had come to this, this was all they could do.
