But he didn't stop his work. He drew a simple array on the ground before carefully embedding the Lava Heart within the array. As mana was poured in, countless golden runes surged out of the Lava Heart, emitting a dense demonic aura.
"Rumble …"
In an instant, black clouds shrouded the entire Ghost Valley. Gales whistled, thunder rumbled, and the entire Ghost Valley sank into darkness, as if the end of the world was approaching.
However, this change didn't last for long. The whistling gales gradually weakened, and the rumbling thunder also dissipated. Strands of light pierced through the dark clouds. Shortly after, the mana flowing in the surroundings seemed to be boiling. It became extremely frantic, like a tide, frantically surging in the Ghost Valley.
'What's going on?'
In the area occupied by the Merlin Family, most of the meditating youths were roused by the changes in the Ghost Valley. They could clearly feel the nearly tangible mana slowly flowing in the surroundings. They were all shocked speechless. The Ghost Valley's mana density was a lot higher than the outside world, but now, it had become even denser. This kind of change was simply unimaginable.
Mages' perception had always been very sharp, and even some subtle changes couldn't escape their perception. The Ghost Valley's mana density had clearly undergone a huge change, it was at least three times as dense as before.
The mages were ecstatic and didn't dare to delay for a moment. They quickly entered meditation and slowly absorbed the surrounding mana. Soon, one aura after another rose as people kept breaking through.
Naturally, the rapid increase in the mana density also brought huge changes to the Ghost Valley. Under the influence of the nearly tangible mana, the lush and verdant trees could be seen crazily growing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Trees over a hundred meters tall could be seen in some uninhabited primeval forests, but they could be seen everywhere in the Ghost Valley.
At this time, magic beasts' roars kept echoing in the valley. A large number of magic beasts became restless, their eyes bloodshot. These magic beasts were even more active than usual, rushing out of their nests and attacking humans everywhere. In a short few hours, over a dozen members of the Merlin Family were injured.
Lin Yun knew that this was normal. When the mana density reached a certain level, magic beasts would go berserk for a short period of time. But this wouldn't last long, and once they adapted to the environment, the magic beasts would calm down.
Moreover, magic beasts that calmed down would grow even more powerful in the special environment of the Ghost Valley.
Because Lin Yun needed to stay close to the Raising Dragon Array and couldn't leave for a while, he looked for the three Merlin brothers and had them lead a portion of the Planar Legion to suppress the magic beasts.
Roughly half an hour later, the Ghost Valley calmed down. When Ross and Merlin returned, they were brimming with joy. When they saw Lin Yun, they impatiently said, "Cousin Lin Yun, those magic beasts have changed too much. It's like a Level 15 Fire Salamander. After going berserk, even a 9th Rank Great Mage would find it hard to deal with a Fire Salamander. If we can tame these magic beasts, our Merlin Family would have an incomparably huge magic beast army in the Raging Flame Plane. Just thinking about it makes me excited …"
"Tame magic beasts?"
Before Lin Yun could say anything, Leon Merlin curled his lips in disdain and glanced at Ross Merlin. "If it was as easy as you say, wouldn't Okland's major forces be able to capture magic beasts above level 30 and tame them?"
"I'm not done yet …" Ross ruthlessly glared at Leon Merlin. "Adult magic beasts naturally aren't that easy to tame. After all, some high-level magic beasts have intelligence no less than humans. What I mean is that we can capture some magic beasts' babies and slowly tame them from a young age. Naturally, this is a long and complicated process that would take a lot of time to complete."
"Haha, that's a good suggestion …" Lin Yun smiled and nodded.
It didn't take long for Ross Merlin's group to leave. After all, the Ghost Valley's mana density had increased, and meditating in this environment would be much more efficient. They clearly didn't want to miss such a good opportunity.
After Ross Merlin's group left, the surroundings of the Raising Dragon Array became quiet once again. Only Lin Yun was left meditating there, the Magic Array still revolving and observing the surroundings. A day later, he slowly opened his eyes and walked towards the Raising Dragon Array.
After going a kilometer underground, he saw the previously arranged small array emitting a dazzling white light. The totem was inside the array, and the flame at the top was still continuously emitting a terrifying aura. At this time, he could see that the defensive power wrapped around the Raising Dragon Array had already disappeared without a trace.
What appeared in front of Lin Yun was the Raising Dragon Array itself.
He could see countless runes surging in the void, filled with a mysterious aura. Even Lin Yun lacked confidence when facing this Peak True Spirit Array.
Normally, Lin Yun wouldn't be able to crack a Peak True Spirit Array.
But the Raising Dragon Array was a bit special.
He came from 30,000 years in the future and had read many books regarding the Raising Dragon Array in the decaying library. He could be said to be extremely familiar with the principles of the Raising Dragon Array.
But a Peak True Spirit Array was a Peak True Spirit Array after all.
At his level, touching an array of this level was an incomparably dangerous matter. Even if he knew the structure and principle of the Raising Dragon Array, he still had to be very careful when cracking it, because a small accident might bring him a terrifying disaster.
After all, that was the power of a Peak Archmage. If it burst out, even if he had many True Spirit Magic Tools, it would be useless.
It was precisely because of this that he had to be even more cautious.
The preparations to crack the Raising Dragon Array had been completed a few days ago. He had a bottle full of Star Ink and a large amount of blank paper. He fished out a quill from his pocket and dipped it in the ink before quickly writing on the paper. The first thing he needed to calculate was an incomparably complicated formula.
The alchemy knowledge contained in that formula could only be described as vast and complicated. Even Lin Yun, with his frightening computing ability, couldn't help feeling a headache.
The calculations were still in progress.
After repeating the calculations three times and confirming that there were no mistakes, Lin Yun picked up the crystal pen and dipped it in the Star Ink before cautiously writing a rune on the edge of the Raising Dragon Array. Light flickered and a terrifying power filled the surroundings. After a few seconds, that terrifying power retreated like a tide.
In fact, he had been very nervous when writing the first rune. He had cracked True Spirit Arrays so many times that he couldn't even count them with two hands. He had accumulated a lot of experience, but those ordinary True Spirit Laws and Mid-Rank True Spirit Arrays simply couldn't compare to the Raising Dragon Array.
Although it was only one or two ranks, the gap was immeasurable.
The pressure this Raising Dragon Array gave him felt like he was facing Star Sage Joy or Hören. He didn't have any confidence. Fortunately, the situation was a bit special. He knew the structure and principles of the Raising Dragon Array in advance, or else he would only be able to look at the Raising Dragon Array helplessly.
For the next two days, he repeatedly did two things. One was to calculate meticulously, and the other was to write carefully. During the calculations, he used a huge amount of alchemy and magic knowledge. Even some Artisan's knowledge reserves couldn't compare to his. It would take at least a month for him to reach his current speed.
After two days of sleepless calculations, Lin Yun wasn't as relaxed as he had imagined. He had to spend a lot of time thinking and sorting out the knowledge in his mind. It was to the point that during the calculations, he gained a lot of new understandings of magic and alchemy.
At this time, Lin Yun's eyes were bloodshot and he looked exhausted. His mental state was terrible, but he didn't stop his work. After a new round of calculations, he piled up the scrap of paper beside him, got up, and went to the Raising Dragon Array to write a talisman.
"Rumble …"
In an instant, the earth shook and a terrifying aura spread in all directions. Countless flickering runes frantically surged. Even Lin Yun couldn't help changing his expression. In fact, he hadn't completely cracked the Raising Dragon Array. At the start, he had already discovered that even if he had grasped the Raising Dragon Array's principles and structure, he would need to spend three months to completely crack it.
Three months was a bit too long.
He had been in the Raging Flame Plane for over three months. The Ancestral Land's Family Council had sent him to the Raging Flame Plane and assigned him the task of allying with the Watson Family to go to the Volcanic Mountain Range to search for the ruins left behind by the Merlin Family. He had recently obtained news that the Watson Family had already made their preparations and would dispatch people soon.
And it would take three months to completely crack the Raising Dragon Array. He truly couldn't wait that long. Moreover, he had spent too much time on the Raising Dragon Array, so he didn't plan on dragging it out.
Therefore, he adopted a compromise plan …
He only needed to crack a part of the array to open the Raising Dragon Array.
It had to be said that this plan had a lot of risks, just like what Lin Yun was facing now. The power leaked when the Raising Dragon Array was activated might cause this place to collapse, and it might even bury him here.
After all, this was a kilometer underground.
