A few decades ago, Thorne Merlin had made contributions in the Planar War and was fortunate enough to go to the Ancestral Land to inherit the bloodline. He had met Thorne a few decades ago, and it was also at that time that he secretly remembered him and kept paying attention to him. Thorne Merlin didn't disappoint him and made great contributions in the past few decades.
In his opinion, Thorne Merlin was very outstanding. Even in the Ancestral Land, he could be considered a cornerstone and was qualified to lead the Ancestral Land's elite Planar Legions on expeditions.
But …
He suddenly felt that no matter how he looked at Thorne Merlin, he wasn't very pleasing to the eye.
"Family Council … Representative …"
Thorne Merlin was truly stunned this time. He naturally knew about the Family Council, it was the true hub of power that controlled the Merlin Family. Moreover, there were very few members of the Family Council, and almost all of them were once outstanding characters who were now living in seclusion in the Ancestral Land. The Merlin Family's Patriarch and Elder Council were simply a joke compared to the Family Council, they weren't even worth mentioning.
'This, this … How could this be, Mafa Merlin actually became a Representative of the Family Council!'
He recalled what Ryan Merlin had said a few times before confirming that he hadn't misheard. Mafa Merlin had really become a Representative.
He was already so shocked that he couldn't speak.
That was a Representative …
A Representative that represented supreme authority and transcendental status! That wasn't something the Patriarch and Elder of the Merlin Family could compare to.
But he couldn't understand how Mafa Merlin, who had disappeared for a few months, could become a Representative right after returning to the Ancestral Land?
This was too illogical …
It had to be known that Ryan Merlin and the other Representatives had to live in seclusion in the Ancestral Land for at least a hundred years, and only when they had enough qualifications and strength could they enter the Family Council.
But this Mafa Merlin …
Whether it was his qualifications or strength, he wasn't qualified. Moreover, how long had he been in the Merlin Family? Even if he had disappeared for a few months, it hadn't even been half a year!
The fact that Lin Yun had become a Representative had indeed shocked him quite a bit, but as for apologizing, that was absolutely impossible! Without thinking about it, Thorne Merlin had a gloomy expression as he left.
Looking at that receding back, Ryan Merlin inwardly shook his head. He was already somewhat dissatisfied with Thorne Merlin.
Lin Yun didn't say anything and only smiled. At the same time, he quietly scattered the mana he had poured into the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel. After chatting with Ryan for a bit, he got up and left the Ancestral Land to return to the Merlin Family Manor.
He then stayed in the alchemy laboratory for over five hours, preparing some commonly used potions. After all, the Raging Flame Plane's environment was dangerous and most lifeforms carried fire poison, so he had no choice but to make preparations early.
It was already night by the time he returned to his residence. Just as he was about to meditate, he suddenly recalled the group of Great Mages in the Demiplane. He had given the Blazing Storm and Extreme Speed Star Mark to those Great Mages a few days ago. He thought that if he had time, he would explain them to them.
At the peak of the Magic Era, first-rate Meditation Law Set and Magic Conducting Rune weren't that easy to grasp. Youths like Ross Merlin and Leon Merlin were extremely talented and rarely encountered problems when studying the Elemental Tide and the Arcane Ring. Thus, Lin Yun hadn't explained them to them.
But that group of Great Mages couldn't …
The innate conditions of those guys were too poor. Most of them wouldn't have the opportunity to become Great Mages before meeting him. They only managed to become Great Mages with the help of the Black Death Rune in the Bone Plane. Making them comprehend the Blazing Storm and Extreme Speed Star Mark on their own was simply a fantasy.
Lin Yun was going to lead the Planar Legion to the Raging Flame Plane tomorrow, and he might not be able to leave for a while. Thus, he planned to use this last night to explain to those Great Mages.
As he chanted an incantation, intense spatial fluctuations surged and he arrived in the Natural Demiplane. The mist-like mana assaulted his senses, making him feel refreshed.
"Taji …"
In the distance, Lin Yun saw a silhouette sitting on the grass, meditating. In fact, he hadn't come in contact with the fifty Great Mages many times, and he could count their names on one hand. That Taji was one of them. In Thousand Sails City, Taji had left a deep impression on him.
What left a deep impression wasn't that Taji was outstanding, but rather that he was too stupid.
In the Bone Plane, he had borrowed the Black Death Rune from the Cloud Tower to absorb Soul Fires and transform them into mana to help the group of Great Mages advance. And Taji had been the last to advance among that group.
"Boss …"
Hearing the familiar voice, Taji opened his eyes and hurriedly stood up. He was overwhelmed by the favor and walked to the young boss' side. "Boss, why were you looking for me …?"
"It's nothing, I just came to see how your comprehension of the Blazing Storm and Extreme Speed Star Mark are progressing …" Lin Yun smiled. "Taji, if there's anything you don't understand about the Meditation Law Set and the Magic Conducting Rune, you can ask me now."
"Eh …"
Taji clearly froze before stammering, "There doesn't seem to be anything difficult to understand."
Lin Yun 'expression suddenly became strange as he looked at Taji with bewilderment. He didn't dare to believe it. With Taji's aptitude, how could he completely comprehend the Blazing Storm and Extreme Speed Star Mark? Although he had only come into contact with the first half and it wasn't too profound, Taji's words were still hard to believe.
He was certain that Taji wouldn't dare to lie in front of him. This meant that Taji had truly comprehended the Meditation Law Set and the Magic Conducting Rune. As he thought about it, he secretly extracted a wisp of mana fluctuations from Taji's body and poured mana into his Magic Array. In a flash, his complexion suddenly paled and his expression changed as he looked at Taji.
"Boss, are … Are you alright?" Taji anxiously asked.
"I'm fine, go meditate first …"
After sending Taji away, Lin Yun frowned and stood there in a daze. He had lost his composure just now because he had discovered something unbelievable. When he roused his Magic Array to analyze Taji's aura, he inadvertently discovered a wisp of a strange aura.
After coming in contact with the Ancient God's soul fragments several times, he could easily tell that the wisp of strange aura was the aura of an Ancient God. This discovery made him jump in fright. 'How could Taji's mana fluctuations contain the aura of an Ancient God? That's too scary …'
After all, no Ancient Gods had appeared in Noscent ever since the fall of the Ascian Dynasty, so how could Taji's aura be explained? The only thing he could think of was the Ancient God's soul fragment in his Demiplane.
"Merlin, you also discovered it?"
At this time, a gloomy voice echoed in Lin Yun 'ears. The elusive Anderfa turned into black smoke and came out of the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel. Three strange faces with different expressions looked at Lin Yun. "They are infected with taboo power, this will be a disaster …"
"Taboo power?"
Anderfa's appearance interrupted Lin Yun 'train of thought. He frowned. "You mean, those Great Mages obtained the power of an Ancient God?"
"How could this be …"
Anderfa disdainfully sneered before explaining, "You should know better than anyone how the mana in the Natural Demiplane comes from. Those Great Mages absorb that mana during meditation, and after accumulating it for a long time, a wisp of Ancient God's aura would appear in their bodies.
"Every Ancient God is an existence surpassing the Heaven Rank. Even a wisp of their aura contains enormous power. Under the effect of that wisp of aura, those mages would have a qualitative change. That qualitative change wouldn't be reflected in their power, but in their magic talent!"
"What …"
Lin Yun was startled speechless. The biggest regret of those fifty Great Mages was that they were innately lacking in magic talent, and he didn't have the ability to change anything. After all, it would be very difficult for him to get fifty bottles of Mana Baptism. After hearing Anderfa's words, Lin Yun realized that this might be a good thing.
With his eyesight, he could naturally see that these innately lacking mages would at most be able to fuse nine Magic Conducting Runes into one and advance to the High Mage realm in an environment like the Natural Demiplane.
But after reaching the High Mage realm, it wasn't as simple as just accumulating mana, it required an extremely high comprehension ability to go further in that realm.
The fifty Great Mages with poor aptitudes clearly didn't have that kind of comprehension ability. Lin Yun estimated that the 5th Rank of the High Mage realm was the limit of that group of mages.
And now, an unexpected change had occurred. The Ancient God's aura had appeared in the bodies of the mages meditating in the Demiplane. According to Anderfa, it was a qualitative change in their magic talent that would make up for these people's innate deficiencies. But to what extent, Lin Yun wasn't clear.
But what was certain was that the time it would take for these mages to advance to the High Mage realm would be greatly shortened, no more than three months!
"Merlin, don't forget, those are Ancient Gods, they are taboo. Everything about them is taboo, including their power. The changes to those mages aren't limited to what I said before. If they keep meditating in the Demiplane and absorb mana, the Ancient God's aura will keep increasing. Maybe after a decade or a few decades, a drop of Ancient God Blood will condense in their bodies. Although it won't be pure, it would still be extremely frightening …" Anderfa's three faces were alarmed.
Lin Yun's eyelids twitched as he listened. He felt as if he was dreaming, it was a bit unreal. He originally planned to let those fifty mages become High Mages to strengthen the Gilded Rose. But Anderfa told him that not only would the aptitude of these mages change, but they would also have the Ancient God Bloodline.
