"High Mage Merlin, I agree …" Thorne Merlin expressionlessly looked at Lin Yun. In fact, he was purely curious. He wanted to figure out what was going on and whether it would endanger the interests of the Merlin Family. After all, this passage existed in the depths of the Ghost Valley. He wouldn't be at ease if he couldn't figure it out.
Moreover, the young mage's frightening strength made him have no choice but to compromise.
"Sir Thorne, you …" Lahn Merlin was dumbstruck as he looked at Thorne Merlin. He simply didn't dare to believe his ears. Thorne, who had always been domineering, didn't even try to haggle and directly agreed to the young mage's request.
This was a bit illogical …
In Lahn Merlin's eyes, this was indeed illogical. He had followed Thorne Merlin in the Raging Flame Plane's struggle for a long time and had some understanding of this Commander's temperament. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he had a fiery temper.
But now, this hot-tempered commander was acting so docile in front of the young mage. This made him feel that it was a little unimaginable …
In fact, Lahn Merlin had already known in the Flame Frost Fort that the Ancestral Land's Family Council had dispatched a Commander to lead the Planar Legion together with Thorne Merlin.
When he first received this news, he thought that it was some powerful ancestor of the Ancestral Land, or a member of the Family Council, who would serve as a Commander. But the result shocked him. The person dispatched by the Ancestral Land was actually a young 5th Rank High Mage in his twenties.
This made him wonder if the Ancestral Land's people had taken the wrong medicine.
Otherwise, how could they do such an absurd thing?
In his eyes, even if a 5th Rank High Mage was outstanding in some aspects, he wouldn't be qualified to serve as a Commander.
And after seeing this outrageously young Commander, he didn't have a good impression of him.
"Alright, I know what you want to say …" Thorne Merlin looked impatiently at Lahn Merlin. Just this look was enough to make him shut up. Then, he looked at Lin Yun with an inquiring gaze. "When do we go in?"
"Now then …"
When he said that, Lin Yun had already walked into the passage. As soon as he stepped into the passage, he immediately felt an incomparably high temperature, as if he was in an oven. There was a faint burning sensation on the skin that was exposed outside the mage's robe. It was not very intense, and he could not help but frown. However, he did not stop, and instead continued to walk forward.
Soon, Thorne, Merlin, and the others followed.
The group followed the spiral staircase and cautiously moved forward. As they went deeper, they discovered that the deeper they went, the more spacious the passage became.
The passage was very clean, there was no debris, but the temperature was too frightening. Even if they were all Archmages, they were already drenched in sweat after walking for ten minutes. Their mage robes were sticking to their bodies, making them very uncomfortable.
Soon, the group reached the end of the passage.
This place was very spacious. It was a several-hundred-meter-wide space, and the stone walls in all directions were covered with decorative designs. There was a candlestick every two meters, but the candles had already burned out. The floor was paved with Moonstone, and in the dusky environment, it was emitting a faint fluorescent light, as well as faint mana fluctuations. The overall layout of this place was somewhat luxurious.
"What is this place …"
After arriving here, Thorne and Merlin curiously looked around, their faces filled with amazement. After passing through the candlesticks, they focused on a stone wall in front of them with a pensive expression. "This should be the style of the 3rd Dynasty. Only those extremely luxurious eras would spend so much effort on a stone wall. I really don't understand, how could there be such a place under the Ghost Valley? This place must have existed for several millennia … "
A total of six people came down this time, and the others were like Thorne and Merlin. After discovering that there was no danger, they cautiously walked around this spacious space.
Perhaps no one noticed that Lin Yun's gaze was always in front of him.
It was very, very dark ahead.
But he knew that there was something there that could move his heart.
Lin Yun casually cast a Light spell, and a gentle and bright sphere of light appeared and floated a foot in front of him. With the help of the light, he walked forward alone.
After walking for no less than five minutes, he reached the end of this space. In front of him was a tightly shut stone door, and a faint mana fluctuation was coming from behind the door.
"This is …"
Standing in front of the stone door, with the help of the Light spell, Lin Yun could faintly see the intricate patterns spreading on the surface of the stone door. With his experience, he could naturally see that this should be a mana exhausted array. He stopped in front of the stone door and carefully observed it for a few minutes before no longer hesitating. He fished out a Low Tier mana crystal from his pocket and slowly crouched down. His slender fingers groped the stone door for a while before quickly finding a groove and putting the mana crystal in.
Then …
The moment the mana crystal was put in, the tightly shut stone door fiercely shook. Countless patterns were activated and blossomed with a dazzling light. This lasted for a few seconds before the light gradually dimmed and the stone door slowly opened.
"Alright …" Seeing this scene, Lin Yun sighed in relief. But then, his expression froze as he foolishly looked at everything in front of him, his heartbeat almost stopping.
Two resplendent diamond-like crystals were embedded in the wall, emitting a dazzling radiance. Fierce mana fluctuations spread to every corner, and at the same time, two terrifying auras slowly rose up.
"Chromatic Dragon Crystals …"
Lin Yun recognized with a glance that these were two Chromatic Dragon Crystals. They belonged to the legendary pureblood Chromatic Dragons. Each of them contained world-shaking magic power and were treasures that countless mages yearned for. But in Noscent's history, the number of mages that managed to obtain a Chromatic Dragon Crystal was pitifully small.
During the Nesser Dynasty, it was the era of the Chromatic Dragons and the pureblood Elves. They jointly wrote a glorious era and all of Noscent was under their control. Even if the human Heaven Mages had the power to slaughter an adult pureblood Chromatic Dragon, they didn't dare to rashly make a move.
Only at the end of the Nesser Dynasty did Charles the Emperor, the Dark Sage, and other powerhouses appear and start a large-scale Dragonslaying War.
But after the Throne of Life was broken, the Chromatic Dragons and the pureblood Elves escaped to unknown planes and had yet to appear in Noscent.
At the peak of the magic civilization's development, the mages who were powerful enough to rival the gods went on expeditions to the Endless Planes, but they did not find any clues about the Chromatic Dragons. In the end, they unanimously concluded that the Chromatic Dragons had been completely extinct during the early years of the Third Dynasty.
"Hold on …"
Lin Yun didn't let the joy get to his head. Instead, he attentively examined the smooth wall and quickly discovered that the wall wasn't just inlaid with Chromatic Dragon Crystals, it was also engraved with many runes, forming a complex array. And those two Chromatic Dragon Crystals were the core of this array.
To be more precise, this was an array to open a planar passage.
This was very easy to guess.
The Raising Dragon Array needed to be constructed at the junction of two planes and used two kinds of power from two different worlds to achieve some inconceivable effect.
After a few minutes, Lin Yun finished deciphering the runes and the two Chromatic Dragon Crystals blossomed with dazzling light. In an instant, multicolored light flowed like suns, illuminating everything within several hundred meters. Lin Yun, who was standing in front of the wall, could clearly feel the surrounding space distorting. Fierce mana fluctuations were frantically surging, and that berserk power was tangible. Even the air was emitting explosive sounds.
At the same time, the light emitted by the two Chromatic Dragon Crystals became more and more dazzling, and the array on the wall also frantically revolved. The surrounding space distorted to the extreme, and it lasted for over ten seconds before slowly calming down. A pitch-black crack appeared and gradually expanded. This was a planar passage.
Everything eventually calmed down.
In front of Lin Yun was an azure Planar Passage wide enough for ten people to walk side by side. He could clearly feel a bone-chilling aura as he stood in front of the Planar Passage. He was somewhat amazed. Planar Paths usually separated two planes, but this Planar Passage was clearly a bit special.
'Worthy of the Raising Dragon Array …' Even Lin Yun couldn't help but sigh in admiration. The Raising Dragon Array used the power of an array to forcibly connect two different planes, and the Planar Passage was very stable. Only a Peak True Spirit Array could accomplish this. Although he could also arrange some True Spirit Arrays, and he could even arrange some Mid-Rank Arrays, it was like comparing heaven and earth to an array like the Raising Dragon Array.
'Looks a bit troublesome …' Lin Yun looked at that azure Planar Passage with a bitter smile. He could roughly guess that at the end of the Planar Passage was a plane on the same scale as the Raging Flame Plane, and there should also be a part of the Raising Dragon Array in that plane.
In other words, the arrays of the two planes combined would form the complete Raising Dragon Array.
In the spacious decaying library, he had already memorized the theory and structure of the Raising Dragon Array. The core of the Raising Dragon Array was five different Chromatic Dragon Crystals, and two of them had already appeared. There should be one more in the center of the Planar Passage, and its role should be to stabilize the Planar Passage.
