He knew that some places in Noscent, as well as other major planes, would give birth to some places with high mana density suitable for mages to meditate. During the peak of the Magic Era, countless mages would crazily excavate those kinds of places. He could still remember that there were still many places suitable for mages to meditate in that era that hadn't been excavated yet.
It was highly possible that the Ghost Valley was a similar place. Due to certain reasons from countless years ago, the Mana density there was extremely high.
But this was only Lin Yun's guess, he couldn't say for sure.
The three Merlin brothers and the Draconic Beastman quickly calmed down and obediently followed behind Lin Yun. After all, they had seen a Natural Demiplane.
After entering the valley, Lin Yun was vigilant and roused his Magic Array to observe everything within a kilometer. They followed a simple and unadorned path and gradually went deeper into the valley.
There was nothing unusual on the path, even magic beasts were rarely seen. The trees in the surroundings were full of vitality and were over a hundred meters tall. Apart from the abnormally rich mana in the valley, Lin Yun didn't find anything out of place. As they went deeper, he gradually noticed that the two sides of the valley weren't peaceful.
With his Magic Array, no movement could escape Lin Yun's eyes. He quickly learned that the Merlin Family and the Thawing Fire Tribe's forces were stationed on both sides. Both sides clearly wouldn't easily give up on the Ghost Valley. After all, this place was too precious to the major forces. Whether it was a Raging Flame Beastman or a human, their growth speed would greatly increase if they meditated in the Ghost Valley.
Both sides often had small-scale conflicts, and Lin Yun could clearly sense the mana fluctuations. But this had nothing to do with him. Just like that, they went deeper into the valley for over ten minutes without finding anything. Just as Lin Yun was about to return, a special mana fluctuation came from the depths of the valley.
This couldn't help making Lin Yun frown.
He tried rousing his Magic Array to its peak and analyzing that fluctuation, but he found that it was very strange. The Magic Array, which was usually omnipotent, couldn't analyze the source of that fluctuation.
This was very strange …
"Come, let's take a look inside …"
Lin Yun didn't hesitate and led the three Merlin brothers and the Draconic Beastman towards the depths of the Ghost Valley. As they gradually went deeper, the scenery of the depths of the valley appeared in front of them. This was an extremely large primeval forest. Trees that were more than a hundred meters tall could be seen everywhere. They had thick trunks and dense foliage.
Moreover, there were very few traces of humans in this forest. This showed that the Merlin Family and the Thawing Fire Tribe had not set foot here.
There was a subtle change in the mana density. If not for the Magic Array's analysis, these subtle changes would have been very difficult to discover.
In a special environment like the Ghost Valley, Mage Eyes were useless. Lin Yun could only rely on the Magic Array to follow that wisp of aura and slowly explore it.
"Found it!"
Soon, that wisp of aura became denser and denser, and the mana density was almost tangible. Finally, after ten minutes, Lin Yun found the source of that wisp of aura.
He saw numerous runes flickering in the air, emitting powerful and suffocating fluctuations. Everyone, including Lin Yun, couldn't help stopping and looking at it with pale faces.
The thing in front of them gave them a feeling of extreme danger.
"What the hell is this …"
Under that terrifying fluctuation, Lin Yun frowned, trembling with fear as he slowly moved towards those runes. Once he confirmed that there was no danger, he waved his hand behind him, hinting for Merlin and the others to follow him. The group took no less than three minutes to cross ten meters.
"Array …"
At this time, beads of cold sweat rolled down Lin Yun 'forehead. He was bewildered as he looked at the numerous patterns in front of him. He was certain that this was a genuine array. It was hard to imagine that an array could give him so much pressure.
After all, even if the true body of that Greater Demon of the Charlotte Family descended, he wouldn't suffer a loss.
But now, standing next to this strange array felt like he was facing a powerhouse on the level of Oren Merlin. He couldn't help feeling apprehensive.
To be more precise, this was an array he had never seen before. The intricate patterns and numerous runes made him feel that this array was extremely mysterious. If there was nothing unexpected, this was most likely a Peak True Spirit Array.
What kind of concept was a Peak True Spirit Array?
If the news of this array spread, it would set off a heated discussion in all of Noscent. Even during the peak of the magic civilization, Peak True Spirit Arrays were rarely seen. This was equivalent to the power of a Peak Archmage.
It was no wonder that Lin Yun felt so pressured.
'How could it appear here …' What puzzled Lin Yun was how a Peak True Spirit Array could appear in the Ghost Valley. And as he carefully observed it, he gradually discovered that the array had existed for a very long time. And after connecting it to the various abnormalities of the Ghost Valley, he guessed that the dense mana in the valley was most likely related to this array.
But …
What made him very vexed was that after observing for over ten minutes and rousing the Magic Array to keep analyzing it, he still couldn't figure out what kind of array it was. This was too outrageous. Some time ago, in the illusory Heiss City, he once again read through the books in the spacious decaying library, focusing more on alchemy.
It was hardly an exaggeration to say that in this era, no one could compare to him in terms of knowledge.
But now, the array in front of him was so unfamiliar that he couldn't figure it out no matter how much he racked his brains.
'This is strange …'
'There is only one possibility …' Lin Yun frowned. He believed in his own judgement. The only explanation was that this kind of array had never appeared in Noscent before. Otherwise, how could he not be able to control himself?
Naturally, this explanation made his heart jump, as if he had discovered something new.
With a solemn expression, he fished out a crystal pen from his pocket and dipped it in the Star Ink he had already prepared, but he didn't write it down. After thinking for a while, he cautiously wrote down a rune. In fact, ever since he came to this era, he had never been so careful when cracking arrays.
He had cracked quite a few True Spirit Arrays, so he didn't even need to think about it to quickly write on them. But the array in front of him couldn't. This was a genuine Peak True Spirit Array. The consequences would be disastrous if there was a slight mistake. After all, no one wanted to live too long.
Soon, over ten minutes passed. Sweat kept rolling down his forehead, and Lin Yun's robe was already drenched in sweat, sticking to his back. Although it was very uncomfortable, Lin Yun clearly didn't have the time to care about that. When he wrote down the 7th rune, a bright light accompanied by a terrifying power rose up.
A loud rumble echoed, startling the three Merlin brothers standing behind Lin Yun. No one had expected such an unforeseen event to happen, and that power was truly tyrannical, making their hearts palpitate. Following the fierce explosion, the Runic Shield in front of Lin Yun gradually dimmed before silently disappearing.
"Phew …"
After letting out a long sigh, Lin Yun looked somewhat pale. He threw the crystal pen in his hand to the side and helplessly shook his head. It was indeed a bit difficult for him to come into contact with a Peak True Spirit Array. If he hadn't been prepared in advance, that power would have seriously injured him.
Moreover, that was only a part of the array's power. It could be imagined how terrifying the full power would be.
Not many people under the Heaven Rank would be able to withstand it, even Lin Yun wasn't confident.
"Cousin Mafa, are you alright …"
Seeing Lin Yun standing there in a daze with a frown, William Merlin couldn't help asking in concern.
"It's nothing …"
A bitter smile appeared at the corner of Lin Yun's mouth as he softly shook his head. He had already chosen to give up. A Peak True Spirit Array was no small matter, and he would inevitably suffer a loss if he tried to force it. But he also understood that this strange array was bound to be extremely valuable. Others might not think too much about it when encountering an unfamiliar array.
But Lin Yun was different …
In this era, he might be the only one who knew how extraordinary this array was. After all, this was an array that had never appeared in Noscent, and its value was indescribable.
"Let's go, let's return to the Flame Demon Fort first …"
Lin Yun put the crystal pen and ink in his pocket before slowly standing up. There was no point in staying in the Ghost Valley. Being able to discover the existence of the array was already an important clue. He waved his hand, and just as he was about to lead the three Merlin cousins and the Draconic Beastman away, William Merlin suddenly let out an alarmed cry.
At this time, a fiery red silhouette scuttled out of the depths of the forest and instantly attacked everyone at a shocking speed. William Merlin was startled by the sudden change and let out an alarmed cry.
To be more precise, it was a Fire Salamander covered in flames. This magic beast was only level 15 and could be seen everywhere in the Raging Flame Plane.
Normally, with everyone's strength, they should have been able to detect a low level magic beast like the Fire Salamander. But everyone had been focused on the array, and with the interference of the array's fluctuations, they automatically ignored the aura of the Fire Salamander.
"Haha, it's only a Fire Salamander …"
William Merlin was somewhat embarrassed. Even if he was smiling, he couldn't hide the embarrassment in his heart. He had followed Lin Yun for over a year, and his strength had already undergone a tremendous change. He was a genuine 5th Rank High Mage, an existence comparable to geniuses like Ross Merlin and Leon Merlin.
