She thought for a long time and ultimately made up her mind to stay by the young mage's side.
She had already had enough of the long wait.
She hadn't known the truth before and had always been looking forward to the day she could reunite with her father. Thus, she had endured the endless loneliness.
But now, she knew that it was a scam that had been going on for millennia.
Naturally, the main reason was that she didn't trust the young mage.
What if the young mage successfully reached the Heaven Rank a few hundred years later and forgot about that promise?
Thus, she felt at ease staying by his side. That way, she could always remind the young mage that he still had a promise to fulfill.
At this time, Lin Yun frowned as he stared at Reina. He couldn't help glancing at her a few more times before taking a deep breath and turning to step on the path. They followed that path and returned to that boundless Ice Field. The seven of them then retraced their steps and spent about ten hours before returning to the Planar Path.
During the process of going through the Planar Path, Lin Yun naturally didn't forget to take the Chromatic Dragon Crystal from the center of the Planar Path. After returning to the Raging Flame Plane, he impatiently peeled off the Chromatic Dragon Crystal embedded in the Teleportation Array. That azure Planar Path silently disappeared, but there was nothing to regret. He had used the Book of Death to record the Planar Coordinates of the Winter Plane.
This trip to the Winter Plane could be said to have a huge harvest as he smoothly obtained five Chromatic Dragon Crystals.
After returning to the Raging Flame Plane, Lin Yun separated from Thorne, Merlin, and the others. He didn't return to the Flame Demon Fort and instead stayed in the Ghost Valley, looking for a secluded place to calmly meditate.
In the three months he had been in the Raging Flame Plane, he had experienced one big battle after another, especially the battle with Frost Dragon Reina the day before. He had been in a deadlock until his mana had been exhausted, and the three True Spirit Magic Tools he controlled were also the same. That battle had greatly benefited him and given him many new insights.
Therefore, as soon as he returned, he couldn't wait to digest all of these comprehensions …
This process wasn't going to be short. Days passed in a flash, but Lin Yun was still meditating, motionless and expressionless.
However, somewhere hundreds of meters away, there was a pair of silver-white eyes watching him closely.
In fact, Reina hadn't returned to the Flame Demon Fort with Thorne, Merlin, and the others. She had been secretly following Lin Yun until Lin Yun entered meditation. She had been keeping a certain distance from Lin Yun, silently waiting.
With her eyesight as an 8th Rank Archmage, she could naturally see that the young mage was at a crucial moment and couldn't be affected in any way. This was definitely a very long process, it might take a few days, or a few months. She calmly waited, constantly paying attention to the young mage's movements. During this time, she expelled a large number of magic beasts to avoid disturbing the young mage.
Just as she was calmly waiting, a shocking mana fluctuation suddenly spread from the young mage's body. In a flash, gales suddenly rose up in the surroundings, sending sand and stones flying. Immediately, the roars of magic beasts filled with alarm echoed, but the young mage didn't seem to be affected in the slightest as he calmly sat there.
"Very powerful …"
Even Reina, who was an 8th Rank Archmage, was looking at Lin Yun with shock. She could clearly feel that the mana fluctuations emitted by this young mage were rising at an extremely fast speed, quickly reaching the peak of the 5th Rank.
But this was far from over …
Just as the young mage reached the peak of the 5th Rank of the High Mage realm, a gale whistled in the surroundings and terrifying mana fluctuations spread in all directions like a tide. Under the impact of that terrifying mana, the flowers and trees in that area rapidly withered. Then, the young mage smoothly advanced to the 6th Rank of the High Mage realm.
But the unimaginable thing was that the mana fluctuations emitted by the young mage's body were still rising, reaching a critical point in a short few seconds.
Reina was shocked as she saw the young mage about to break through again. She simply didn't dare to believe it, 'How did the young mage do it?'
It was common knowledge that on the path of the High Mage realm, whether it was humans or other magic beasts, every breakthrough would take several years of accumulation. Even some talented geniuses would need at least a few months, but the young mage advanced from the 5th Rank to the peak of the 6th Rank in a short few minutes. It looked like he would reach the 7th Rank at any moment.
But at this moment, all the movements suddenly came to an abrupt halt …
Because Lin Yun had already opened his eyes.
The first thing he did after opening his eyes was check his own situation. He couldn't help rejoicing when he found out that he was still at the peak of the 6th Rank of the High Mage realm.
He had been too careless this time. If he had been a bit late, it might have brought him a lot of trouble.
Nothing could be done about it, his current situation was too special.
It had been almost half a year since he became a 5th Rank High Mage. With three Core Meditation Law Sets, his meditation efficiency could only be described as frightening. The accumulation he had accumulated during this time was far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
To put it this way, if he wanted to, he could attack a higher realm at any time. 7th Rank High Mage, 8th Rank High Mage, or even 9th Rank High Mage!
But reason told him that he absolutely couldn't do that.
What he had to do now was get the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras as soon as possible and fuse his three Meditation Law Sets with the Magic Array, the Book of Ten Thousand Mantras, and the Spell Wheel. If nothing unexpected happened, he would be able to directly advance to the Archmage realm.
But there was one thing he had to pay attention to, and that was his own rank. After all, he was different from other High Mages. He had three Meditation Law Sets, and this greatly increased the difficulty of advancing to the Archmage realm. Other High Mages could try fusing their Meditation Law Sets with their Magic Conducting Rune at the 9th Rank.
But Lin Yun couldn't do that.
Because he clearly understood that the most ideal method would be to fuse his Meditation Law Set with his Magic Conducting Rune at the 5th Rank. But every time he advanced in rank, there would be a huge resistance to this fusion, making it extremely difficult. Thus, he did his best to suppress his own rank.
This breakthrough was truly an accident. At that time, he had already been immersed in a wonderful state. He was gaining new insights every moment, and his own strength was rapidly increasing. But he hadn't expected that something unexpected would happen and he would completely lose control of his rank. It was as if a dam's sluice gate had been opened and a huge torrent of water rushed out. In a short few minutes, his rank had sharply increased. If he had been a second late, he might have already become a 7th Rank High Mage.
Fortunately, he woke up in time.
Although this accident made him reach the peak of the 6th Rank, fusing a Meditation Law Set with his Magic Conducting Rune was still within his acceptable range.
"How long did it take?"
Lin Yun had already discovered that silhouette a few hundred meters away. He slowly moved towards Reina. He wanted to know how long it took him to digest those insights.
In fact, when he returned to the Raging Flame Plane, he knew that Reina was secretly following him, but he didn't care because he clearly understood that Reina was placing all her hopes on him. In all of Noscent, he might be the only one who could help her father resurrect.
Just this point made him calmly accept the fact that Reina was following him. If he encountered danger, Reina, this powerful Frost Dragon, would have no choice but to help him for the sake of her father.
After figuring this out, he no longer had any objections to Reina's existence. Instead, he felt that he had made a huge profit. A casual promise made a Frost Dragon with the power of an 8th Rank Archmage willingly become his hired thug.
This was a classic case of getting something without risking anything.
"Four and a half days …"
After suffering a blow, Reina was still somewhat haggard, but compared to yesterday, her complexion was a lot better. It was just that she was still frowning. Reina's expression was a bit strange as she looked at Lin Yun's body and coldly said.
She really couldn't understand why the young mage suddenly woke up and broke that wonderful realm, causing him to fail to advance to the 7th Rank of the High Mage realm. But there was no disappointment on the young mage's face. He even seemed to be rejoicing when he woke up.
This puzzled her no matter how much she thought about it.
"Oh … Fortunately, it wasn't too long."
Lin Yun nodded as he muttered to himself. He then led Reina to walk around the Ghost Valley. Due to the influence of the Demon Contract, the mana density of the Ghost Valley had increased by more than three times. The magic beasts that had been unable to adapt to this environment and went berserk gradually stabilized. The Merlin Family and the Black Tower's people were methodically exploiting the resources of the Ghost Valley.
On the way, he had discovered five rich ore veins, and the Merlin Family had mobilized a large number of puppets to methodically excavate those ore veins. A large amount of precious ore was transported out of the Ghost Valley by carriages, seemingly to be transported to Noscent.
And this was only a portion …
