Naturally, this was only the case at Level 40 and below.
The Mana Devouring Vine was one of the few plant magic beasts that could reach Level 40. After reaching Level 40, its mana crystal would undergo earth-shattering changes. Not only would the Mana Devouring Vine mutate, but the mana crystal would also mutate, becoming completely different from before Level 40. It could even be said to be two completely different species.
At that time, the Mana Devouring Vine's mana crystal could be said to be the best mana container. The mana it could store could compare to a Heaven Mage's mana reserve!
After all, ordinary magical crystals didn't have the ability to store mana. In fact, most of them could only be regarded as one-time consumables. There were a few that could store pure mana, but the amount of mana they could store was also very little.
Mana crystals like the Mana Devouring Vine's mana crystal could store mana equivalent to their own rank, or even surpassing their own rank. They were very rare even at the peak of the Magic Era, let alone Heaven Rank mana!
This wasn't even the biggest advantage of the Mana Devouring Vine's mana crystal. The biggest advantage of the Mana Devouring Vine's mana crystal was its mana purification ability!
No matter what kind of mana it was, as long as it entered the Mana Devouring Vine's mana crystal, it would be purified at a terrifying speed. Any mana would become incomparably pure.
That kind of incomparably pure mana could be directly used by any mage without having to worry about side effects. Sometimes, it was even more useful than their own mana.
Naturally, this was the ability of a Mana Devouring Vine's mana crystal above Level 40.
Mana Devouring Vines below Level 40 were only ordinary plant magic beasts.
Mana Devouring Vines were originally known for being troublesome. As long as their main body wasn't discovered, those Doppelganger Vines were even more disgusting than Undead lifeforms. As long as their mana wasn't exhausted, the Doppelganger Vines would never disappear. Even higher-ranked magic beasts would be killed by this method.
It was because of this that the Heaven Rank Mana Devouring Vines displayed this characteristic to the extreme. Most of the time, the Heaven Rank Mana Devouring Vine's main body wouldn't appear above ground. Powerful Heaven Mages wouldn't be able to deal with the Mana Devouring Vine's main body hidden underground. Instead, they would be besieged by the endless Doppelganger Vines.
Thus, in the past 2,300 years, no one had discovered that the Heaven Rank Mana Devouring Vine's mana crystal possessed that kind of frightening ability.
It wasn't until 2,300 years later that Orson discovered a method to artificially nurture a Mana Devouring Vine's mana crystal during an alchemy experiment that he could nurture a Mana Devouring Vine's mana crystal to Level 40!
It was the safest and fastest way to obtain a Heaven Rank Mana Devouring Vine's mana crystal!
In those days, Orson wasn't very talented and his background wasn't very good. He stayed at the 8th Rank of the Archmage realm for a very long time and couldn't even afford some high level alchemy materials. He could be considered a very bitter Archmage.
An Archmage with no hope of advancing to the Heaven Rank could only be considered a mid-level pillar of the Family and had no hope of getting any support in magic.
Until Orson accidentally discovered the possibility of artificially nurturing a Mana Devouring Vine's mana crystal. After spending a large amount of time and energy, he finally succeeded in nurturing two Heaven Rank Mana Devouring Vine mana crystals and even used this to advance to the Heaven Rank. This accident caused a stir in Noscent.
Even the most first-rate Heaven Mages couldn't do anything about those Heaven Rank Mana Devouring Vines. A perfect mana container that could double one's mana storage was a fatal temptation to Heaven Mages.
Orson relied on the artificially nurturing Mana Devouring Vine's mana crystal to obtain a large amount of resources and use it to advance to the 9th Rank of the Heaven Rank. At that time, Orson revealed this secret to the world.
At the end of the magic era, this method was recorded in the decaying library and could even be considered an achievement that could influence Noscent.
When he saw that Mana Devouring Vine, Lin Yun immediately thought of this. A level 38 Mana Devouring Vine was simply the perfect level!
A level 39 one was too troublesome, but a level 38 one was just right, it would save him a lot of effort in the future.
The mana crystal used to nurture the Mana Devouring Vine naturally wouldn't be used as a mana container, because of the Alchemic Mana Whirlpool.
The Alchemic Mana Whirlpool was indeed useful, it could double one's mana. Unfortunately, there were only a few finished products when that thing was first designed, so it wasn't researched further.
Recently, Lin Yun felt that the Alchemic Mana Whirlpool's ability was a bit lacking. The limit of the Alchemic Mana Whirlpool might be the Archmage realm, and an ordinary Archmage at that.
His Magic Conducting Rune was known as the strongest Magic Array and its mana storage far surpassed that of an ordinary mage of the same rank. After reaching the Archmage realm, the Alchemic Mana Whirlpool might not be able to triple its mana storage.
Now that he had the Mana Devouring Vine's mana crystal, the best method was to first nurture the Mana Devouring Vine's mana crystal to the Heaven Rank before using it to transform the Alchemic Mana Whirlpool and make it even more powerful.
Unfortunately, this kind of artificial nurturing and transformation couldn't be completed overnight. It would take a lot of time, so he could only put it away for now.
If not for this reason, Lin Yun wouldn't have bothered to bicker with Xiuban over a spirit mana crystal.
On the side, Zeuss saw that Lin Yun didn't give him an explanation and only looked at him as if he was looking at a bumpkin. He forced a smile and said, "Merlin, let's hurry up and leave this place. The mana here is too rich. That huge movement might have attracted something else …"
'The mana is too rich …'
Lin Yun suddenly froze. He had been too happy earlier and only thought about the Heaven Rank Mana Devouring Vine's mana crystal when he saw the Mana Devouring Vine. He had neglected everything else.
Anderfa floated over and looked at Lin Yun with a strange expression. "Merlin, don't you also feel that something is wrong?"
Lin Yun 'expression sank. It wasn't just wrong, it was simply too wrong!
The Mana Devouring Vine had very strict requirements for its growth. Not only did it have to be in a place with extremely rich mana, but it also had to have extremely active mana.
Many special magic plants had this requirement. Without active mana, they absolutely couldn't survive. This also made it so that many precious magic plants couldn't be artificially nurtured, because artificial cultivation could at most guarantee the density of the mana, but it couldn't guarantee the activity of the mana.
After Orson discovered the mysteries of the Mana Devouring Vine, Mana Devouring Vines under the Heaven Rank could hardly be seen in Noscent in the next hundred years. This was also the reason.
Because the Mana Devouring Vine couldn't be artificially nurtured, it could only grow in some special environments in the wild.
And Constance was already dead. According to common sense, after his death, the God Nation should have also withered away.
It was rare that his God Nation didn't wither away, which could be attributed to Constance being relatively powerful during his life. But the mana here was still very rich, which was very rare.
But there was no doubt that the Mana here was lacking in activity.
This shortcoming wouldn't have any special effect on most lifeforms and even some plants, but it didn't meet the requirements for the Mana Devouring Vine to grow.
There were so many Mana Devouring Vines here, and they had encountered six at once. Who knew if there were more in other places? This was unreasonable.
Then there was only one explanation, the God Nation hadn't truly withered away, and Constance hadn't truly died.
As he thought of this, Lin Yun was startled, but he then shook his head.
This didn't make any sense.
Lin Yun shook his head, his expression a bit solemn. "I found it a bit strange, but I can't figure out why it's like this. Everyone should be careful …"
At this time, Lin Yun discovered that there were too many details missing in the records. There was no way to gain a complete understanding of the God Nation by relying on those records.
Suddenly, Lin Yun turned his head to look at Zeuss. "Sir Zeuss, how much does your Watson Family know about this God Nation?"
Zeuss was very well-behaved. He knew that he only had the power of a Magic Apprentice and couldn't even be considered cannon fodder here. He would have to rely on Lin Yun.
"Our Watson Family actually doesn't know much. I saw a book in the Ancestral Land that recorded some things about the Wisdom God's God Nation.
"It said that the Wisdom God buried himself at the top of the Wisdom Tree and waited for his resurrection after countless years. That was the origin of all wisdom, as well as the end of all wisdom.
"But that book was really tattered, and there were many things I couldn't understand. Apart from that, I also discovered the method to open the Wisdom God's God Nation.
"The secret scripture said that only descendants of the Wisdom God's bloodline could open the God Nation!
As such, our family planned for many years. Finally, more than 100 years ago, we found a woman with the bloodline of the God of Wisdom. We arranged for Arthus's father to marry her, and she gave birth to Arthus.
"Our Family nurtured Arthus with all our might and with great difficulty, we managed to nurture Arthus into a Sword Saint, but who would have thought that he would actually fall on the Intrepid …"
Zeuss' words were somewhat bitter. The Watson Family had planned for so many years, and it was finally time to harvest the fruits of their labor, but Arthus died at the last moment. There was nothing more shocking than this.
Lin Yun glanced at Zeuss and could see that Zeuss wasn't deceiving him.
Moreover, a lot of the information matched what he knew. But he was a bit doubtful. Constance waiting for his resurrection after countless years was a bit ridiculous.
At the end of the Magic Era, many ancient books clearly recorded that only Constance's bones were buried at the top of the Wisdom Tree. The other parts weren't at the top of the Wisdom Tree.
