It might only be missing 20% of the components, but it had a huge impact. Because the missing components included some core components, and these components were very difficult to find in Noscent.
'Looks like I have to take a trip to the Puppet Plane as soon as possible …'
The trip to the Tulan Mountain Range was originally part of his plan, but something unexpected happened midway and he had no choice but to give up. But he would sooner or later go to the Tulan Mountain Range and enter the Puppet Plane through that Planar Path. That place was filled with endless puppets, it was a puppet world. Obtaining a large amount of rare materials there wouldn't be a problem.
Moreover, that thing was in the Puppet Plane. If he could smoothly obtain it, the benefits would undoubtedly be huge. Although the Heaven Puppet's strength wouldn't reach the Heaven Rank, it would definitely be able to sweep through level 37 and 38 powerhouses.
Next was the construction of the array. This was a rather laborious task, and there would be all kinds of problems along the way. For example, the array engraved on it would conflict with the enchantment spells. These were very thorny problems that would bring a lot of trouble if they couldn't be resolved.
Even Lin Yun, who came from the future and had dismantled countless puppets, was extremely busy. He held a quill in his hand and made a few calculations on a piece of paper before engraving the array.
He attached great importance to this Heaven Puppet. The arrays engraved on it were all relatively profound and belonged to the first-rate Master Alchemists. Most of the techniques didn't belong to this era. But in terms of technique, it was still far from enough. Even some Saint Alchemists might not be able to meet the requirements, because this Heaven Puppet came from the greatest alchemist since ancient times, the Dark Sage.
After engraving the array, he enchanted some spells. Two days had passed by the time he was done. Lin Yun's eyes were bloodshot and he was extremely exhausted. He looked at the puppet emitting a metallic luster and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. After assembling the components, the power of this Heaven Puppet wasn't weak.
He estimated that this power wasn't any weaker than a 5th Rank Sword Saint.
Moreover, this was under the situation where the components were damaged and had to be replaced with ordinary components. If the plan to go to the Puppet Plane went smoothly, that Heaven Puppet would undoubtedly become one of the most terrifying forces at his side.
At this time, he was already impatient to activate the array and see the power of this Heaven Puppet. After all, he had spent a lot of effort on this puppet. He took out a mana crystal from his pocket. It was roughly level 35, and he had obtained it from killing the Wyvern King in the Tulan Mountain Range. Although it was only level 35, it was enough for now.
Put the Mana Crystal into the Mana Source.
Then …
"The end of the Wailing River …"
Lin Yun suddenly saw the Heaven Puppet's eyes suddenly open before saying something incomprehensible. Although this wasn't the first time he encountered this situation, he was still startled and nervously looked at the Heaven Puppet. But after saying that, the Heaven Puppet didn't move.
'Could this be another message left behind by the Dark Sage?'
Lin Yun was bewildered. When he obtained the Heaven Puppet, it had said two words, "Is there anyone still alive?" and "There is no path ahead."
At that time, he had suspected that this might be a message left behind by the Dark Sage. But unfortunately, the Heaven Puppet was too heavily damaged.
The message the Dark Sage wanted to send was definitely very important, or he wouldn't have used this kind of method. If he had the ability, he would really want to restore the Heaven Puppet to its original state and read that message.
Unfortunately, it was too difficult.
'The end of the Wailing River …' Lin Yun kept repeating these words in his mind. There was definitely an extremely important clue hidden at the end of the Wailing River. Although he didn't know much about the Wailing River, he knew that it was in the Raging Flame Plane.
Suddenly …
He suddenly recalled that Emperor Zhantui, Sengman, had been staying in the palace for ten years before his death and rarely made an appearance. At the time, many people suspected that Sengman had contracted a serious illness. But there was one exception. It was a year before Sengman's death. Sengman secretly took his personal guards and a group of Court Mages to the Raging Flame Plane for a month. After returning, Sengman passed the throne to his other son and soon after, he passed away.
From the three sentences of the Heaven Puppet, as well as the stone tablet in the Bloodshed Forest, it could be seen that these three powerhouses from different eras had something in common. They seemed to have come into contact with some shocking secrets, and all the clues pointed towards the Wailing River.
'It looks like I have to take a trip to the Raging Flame Plane …'
Moreover, there seemed to be an opportunity waiting for him there.
On the way back from the Tulan Mountain Range, he had been thinking about how to quickly increase his strength. After fusing with three Meditation Law Sets, he was already a 5th Rank High Mage. Although he had made rapid progress in the Tulan Mountain Range, it also brought him many problems. It was common knowledge that in order to advance to the Archmage realm, one had to perfectly fuse one's Meditation Law Set with their Magic Conducting Rune.
This might not be a problem for others, as fusing a Meditation Law Set with a Magic Conducting Rune required a lot of time, but it was a huge problem for Lin Yun.
After all, he had three Meditation Law Sets: the Equilibrium Law, the Void Forge, and the Elemental Heart. But he only had one Magic Conducting Rune, the Magic Array.
In other words, he could only fuse one of the three Meditation Law Sets with the Magic Array. But that way, he wouldn't have the opportunity to advance to the Archmage realm.
This was a huge problem.
Moreover, he came from 30,000 years in the future, and he had never heard of anyone possessing three Magic Conducting Runes at the same time.
After thinking for a long time, he had some clues. The Magic Array was the most powerful Magic Conducting Rune in Noscent's history. It was omnipotent and could contain everything. The Ten Thousand Spell Wheel was made according to the principles of the Magic Array and could also contain everything. Lin Yun's idea was to try fusing one of the Meditation Law Sets with the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel. This was theoretically feasible, and it would most likely succeed.
But he had found a way to fuse two Meditation Law Sets with the Book of Death.
He had thought about fusing a Meditation Law Set with the Book of Death. After all, that Magic Tool wasn't an ordinary Magic Tool, it was extremely inclusive. Moreover, Heaven Mage Bane, who rose to power a few millennia later, had fused his own Meditation Law Set with the Book of Death.
But fusing a Meditation Law Set with the Book of Death was too difficult. Just the minimum requirement made Lin Yun flinch. He estimated that if he wanted to be like Bane, he would have to reach the Heaven Rank.
Thus, he could only temporarily throw the idea of fusing a Meditation Law Set with the Book of Death to the back of his mind.
Soon, he recalled the diary left behind by Heaven Mage Bane. In it, Bane's greatest regret was that he hadn't been able to see through the true secrets of the Book of Death. Moreover, Bane had always felt that the complete form of the Book of Death was one of the first two books when Noscent was born, the Book of Ten Thousand Spells that recorded all spells in the world.
As for the other book, it was called the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras that recorded all spells in the world. Its power wasn't inferior to the complete Book of Death. Moreover, the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras was the same as the Book of Death, it had yet to reach its complete form. In this era, the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras was only a True Spirit Magic Tool.
If he could obtain the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras, the problem of fusing a Meditation Law Set would be easily solved.
Lin Yun, who came from 30,000 years in the future, clearly remembered that a powerful character would rise in Noscent a few millennia later. That person was Wayte of the Starry Sky College.
Although Wayte could be considered a pillar of the Starry Sky College, the first half of his life could only be described as ordinary. Only when Wayte led the Starry Sky College's Planar Legion to participate in the struggle for the Raging Flame Plane and inadvertently obtained the Book of Death did Wayte's name gradually spread throughout Noscent.
After returning to the Starry Sky College, Wayte remained silent for ten years. During those ten years, he had been researching the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras, and when he reappeared, he was already the most powerful Archmage in all of Noscent. He defeated one powerhouse after another that came to challenge him, and even Heaven Mages had a whole new level of respect for him.
It was said that Wayte, who had mastered the Ten Thousand Mantras, killed several dozen Archmages on his own during the struggle for some ruins, and there was no lack of Peak Archmages among them. That was also the battle that made Wayte famous. From then on, all kinds of his deeds spread like wildfire throughout Noscent.
At that time, he became the object of admiration for countless mages.
At that time, the powerful Wayte had already entered the core of the Starry Sky College's authority and became a new higher-up. He, who controlled the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras, led the Planar Legion and conquered one powerful plane after another for the Starry Sky College. After a few decades of development, the Starry Sky College gradually became one of Noscent's first-rate forces, almost comparable to the Ivory Tower.
In that era, the two mages most often mentioned were the Starry Sky College's Wayte and the Ivory Tower's Bane.
Mages clearly understood that the two who controlled the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras and the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras were bound to fight, but Wayte and Bane didn't disappoint them. In their later years, Wayte and Bane were already at the peak of the Heaven Rank and were the decision-makers of the Ivory Tower and the Starry Sky College.
At that time, the two peak forces simultaneously discovered a secret, and it was said that the unearthing of that secret would change the structure of all of Noscent's forces. The two forces almost turned out in full force, and in several clashes, over ten Heaven Mages fell, not to mention Archmages. In that battle, they were no different from cannon fodder, and the number of casualties reached at least three digits.
