"High Mage Merlin, you … You are saying that we are in an illusion?" After hearing Lin Yun's explanation, Thorne Merlin was in disbelief, but he was also excited. If what the young mage said was true, then they wouldn't have to face the terrifying Heaven Rank Magic Beast.
But …
Just as he finished his words and was nervously waiting for the young mage's answer, gales suddenly rose up in the surroundings, sweeping up a large amount of ice. A large amount of white mist rose up and the scene before their eyes gradually became blurry. Space fiercely distorted, and the first thing that changed was the path under their feet.
Now, that exceptionally realistic looking Suo Dao had already disappeared without a trace. Replacing it was a sturdy glacier. Soon after, a large area of the sea disappeared like a mirage and was also replaced by the glacier.
In a flash, gales whistled and swept up a large amount of ice. At this time, everyone could clearly see their surroundings. It turned out that the path, the sea, and the Heaven Rank Magic Beast were all fake. Apart from the boundless glacier, there was nothing here.
"It's really an illusion!" Thorne Merlin's eyes were wide open as he let out a startled cry. When the Heaven Rank Magic Beast suddenly appeared while walking on the path, he was so scared that his heart almost stopped beating. But fortunately, this was only an illusion.
However, the illusion was so realistic that even a 5th Rank Sword Saint like him couldn't find any flaws in it.
He stood there and couldn't help looking at the young mage a few more times, his expression extremely complicated. He found out that the young mage was far from being as simple as he had imagined. It seemed that he was constantly surprising people.
"Oh right, High Mage Merlin, could the treasures we found not long ago also be an illusion?" At this time, Thorne Merlin suddenly recalled that a few hours ago, the young mage's behavior had been very strange. He didn't seem to care about that treasure and didn't explain anything before directly letting everyone leave.
Now that he knew of the Snow Fiend's existence, he couldn't help boldly guessing that those treasures shouldn't be an illusion created by the Snow Fiend, right?
If that was the case, it would be such a pity …
"Yes …" Lin Yun lightly nodded, and couldn't help but bitterly smile. At that time, he had noticed something strange, but he wasn't sure if it was the Snow Demon's doing, so he didn't explain anything. Instead, he forcefully led everyone away. It wasn't until he entered the illusion again that he was sure it was the Snow Demon's illusion.
As for the giant swords produced by the 3rd Dynasty's Royal Workshop, they didn't only exist in illusions …
At the peak of the magic era, those crazy mages had long studied the principles of the Snow Demons' illusion. Although the Snow Demons were born with the ability to create illusions, only things that they had seen with their own eyes would appear in their illusions.
In other words, those Snow Fiends had seen the greatsword, the treasures, the Heaven Rank Magic Beasts, as well as the lock on the surface of the sea. But Elemental lifeforms like Snow Fiends were only comparable to Great Mages and simply didn't have the ability to leave this plane of ice. Moreover, due to their special nature, they wouldn't be able to survive if they left the environment of the plane of ice.
The answer was already obvious …
A few millennia ago, a group of powerhouses from the 3rd Dynasty had come to this plane, and many imperial guards had died there.
Moreover, from the way they built the lock, it didn't look as simple as sightseeing or exploring this plane. It looked like they had come to this plane to achieve a certain goal.
'What the hell is going on …'
He couldn't help recalling the Raising Dragon Array. 'Could this array be related to that group of people from several millennia ago?'
But whether it was related or not, it wasn't important. He didn't have the energy to care about the past, it was fine as long as he could smoothly obtain the other two Chromatic Dragon Crystals.
Whether it was Lin Yun or Thorne Merlin, they might not have noticed that Lahn Merlin's expression had become very bad after hearing their conversation. He felt like dying.
Lahn Merlin had already come to his senses. What had been troubling everyone had actually been an illusion.
That Heaven Rank Magic Beast hadn't appeared there.
And he had also done a very stupid thing …
Originally, when the Heaven Rank Magic Beast appeared, his only thought was to escape as soon as possible.
That was exactly what he did, but in the end, he was casually stopped by the young mage. Flustered and exasperated, he decided to vent all his dissatisfaction towards the young mage.
But now, he found out how stupid his actions had been.
Now, he had completely offended the young mage, and there was no room for reconciliation.
As he thought of this, he couldn't help feeling cold. Cold sweat dripped down his body, drenching his robe. He gave the young mage a profound glance, his eyes filled with regret.
Not long after, Lin Yun's group set out once again. They were walking on the boundless ice field. There was no point of reference on the way, it was very monotonous. There was only the boundless white sky in their line of sight, as well as the fluttering frost. The group was aimlessly moving forward, rushing north.
Lahn Merlin, who was usually quite lively, was completely silent this time. He was walking at the back of the group with his head lowered.
The others didn't care, they had become even more cautious after experiencing the Snow Fiends.
"Quick, look, what's that …" Yuri Merlin, who was in charge of observing the surroundings with the Mage Eye, suddenly stopped and pointed ahead, letting out a cry of alarm, looking as if he had seen a ghost.
"That's … A Lock Path!"
Lin Yun waved his hand and a Mage Eye flew out. It floated in the air and the thing in front of him appeared in his line of sight. A Lock Path stretched across the horizon, connecting to a majestic crystal palace. With one glance, he recognized that this Lock Path was exactly the same as the one in the illusion created by the Snow Fiends. It was just that the location was different. As for that crystal palace, it made Lin Yun frown.
"High Mage Merlin, this isn't another illusion, right? Those Snow Fiends really deserve to die … "After losing his composure for a short while, Yuri Merlin had already calmed down and fiercely cursed.
He clearly had a deep impression of that Lock Path.
He subconsciously thought that the thing in front of him wasn't real, but rather another illusion created by the Snow Fiends.
"It's not like that …" Lin Yun looked ahead with a solemn expression before shaking his head.
"Eh? How could this be … "
It wasn't just Yuri Merlin, the others were also stunned, looking at the young mage in a daze. They were shocked speechless. Yuri Merlin was the first to react, but he clearly didn't dare to believe it and felt that he should confirm it again. He took a deep breath and said, "You mean, the Lock Path and the palace are real?"
"Yes …"
Hearing the young mage's answer, Yuri Merlin's eyes were wide open, disbelief visible on his face. What could be more shocking than a palace in this ice plane?
This was a palace …
This meant that someone once lived in this plane …
"Let's go take a look …"
After saying that, Lin Yun took the lead and walked towards the Lock Path. He wasn't as calm as he looked. It wasn't that he was shaken by the appearance of the palace, but rather that this palace was his ultimate goal in coming to the ice plane, because the other two Chromatic Dragon Crystals were in this palace.
Soon, Lin Yun's group followed the Lock Path and arrived in front of the Crystal Palace. Observing the Crystal Palace from a close distance, Lin Yun immediately determined that this palace was built in the style of the 3rd Dynasty. Those murals were extremely lifelike, and only in that extremely extravagant era would they spend so much effort on architecture.
"Let's go in …"
The entrance of the Crystal Palace was unlatched. Lin Yun glanced at it a few times before unhesitantly leading the group and cautiously entering the palace.
After entering, he discovered that the interior of the palace was huge and empty. As the group entered, they could faintly hear footsteps echoing.
There was a candlestick every few meters on the four walls, but the candles had already burned out.
However, just as everyone thought that this was an abandoned palace, a cold voice suddenly rang out, "Who are you people!"
The moment the voice rang out, a bone-chilling cold aura spread out in all directions. Waves of white mist rose up and tumbled about unceasingly …
At this moment, everyone, including Lin Yun, looked shocked. There were actually people in this palace! In an instant, they were extremely nervous and couldn't help looking towards the source of the voice …
It couldn't be helped, this was really too shocking …
After all, this Crystal Palace was built in the style of the 3rd Dynasty, and it was at least a thousand years old. When they first discovered the palace, they were also shocked. They guessed that someone once lived in the Crystal Palace, but now it seemed that their guess was wrong. It wasn't that someone once lived in it, but that someone still lived in it!
Then …
Just how ancient were the people who lived here?
At least a thousand years old!
This was the real reason for everyone's shock …
As the cold voice rang out, a white mist rolled in the depths of the palace, and a faint sound of footsteps entered everyone's ears. Then, they saw a vague figure walking out from the white mist. It was a young woman who looked to be in her twenties. Her white cheeks, delicate facial features, and silver hair that reached her waist gave off an indescribable demonic feeling.
Almost at the instant the young woman appeared, the temperature in the palace suddenly dropped. As the white mist rolled, frost formed on the surrounding walls.
"Who are you!"
