172 Demiplane (1/2)
And it was a big discovery...
'Turns out it's a Demiplane…' Lin Yun didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he patted the dust off his hand.
He had actually been confused by an alchemy array.
And it wasn't because the array was too profound...
It was because the array was too simple.
And it was a Master Alchemist level array!
Lin Yun had never heard of a Demiplane being attached to a Master level array, this was like using fodder to feed a large Dragon, this was abuse!
Only those peak Heaven Mages had the power to open a Demiplane. They would use countless arrays to open their own worlds from nothingness. These worlds stood outside of Noscent since their inceptions, not receiving any binding from the laws. The laws of these worlds were an embodiment of the master's will, and these worlds also depended on their masters to function.
What kind of frightening power was needed to keep a world working? Even transmitting it couldn't be handled by a Master Array.
Thus, Lin Yun hadn't even considered it...
Until later, when Lin Yun had analyzed that alchemy array for the sixth time, and he suddenly discovered that the crucial magic patterns of that alchemy array didn't seem to be completely aimed at opening a Planar Path. Although it had some spatial stabilization magic patterns, more of them were used for mana transmission and rune transmission.
What kind of plane would use mana transmission and rune transmission? Only a Demiplane...
Everything became clear to Lin Yun then.
That's right, a Demiplane was most likely hidden behind that Planar Path, or else this array's crucial magic patterns wouldn't have used mana transmission and rune transmission, and neither would the array have been connected to the Ash Tower. After all, a tower like the Ash Tower was already a true fortress. When fully operational, it could only be described as an extinction-level firepower. That power supplying the mana of a Master Array was simply unimaginable.
The only explanation was a Demiplane.
But if it was a Demiplane, then a Master Array wouldn't be enough...
Arriving at this point, Lin Yun frowned once again.
After all, Rudolph was a Court Mage in the 3rd Dynasty, his authority was sky-high. As long as he wanted, he could invite an Artisan that was proficient in arrays, so why would he use a Master Array to connect to his Demiplane?
”Merlin...Merlin…” When Solomon saw Lin Yun standing up, he was looking forward to hearing the results.
But he waited a long time and Lin Yun was still daydreaming...
Solomon couldn't wait any longer and waved his hands in front of Lin Yun's eyes, calling out to him several times in a row before Lin Yun managed to recover.
”Eh? What's going on?”
”You're asking me?”
”Oh…” Lin Yun completely recovered after hearing Solomon's question. He took two steps back and pointed at the array on the wall. ”This array can open a Planar Path. If you are truly interested in Rudolph's vestige, you should use the rune to go in and take a look. But you shouldn't spend more than an hour, or else you might be lost in that plane forever.”
”Planar Path?” Solomon was startled. The Sage Tower had attracted talents for over a thousand years, and three Archmages had even graduated from it, but it had always remained trapped within Thousand Sails City. Besides being restricted by its mortal enemy, the Sage Tower, it was also because they didn't have their own plane.
Solomon, who came from the Cloud Tower, knew the importance of having their own plane...
Why was the Cloud Tower able to stand together with the Black Tower, why was it above the countless mage forces of the Andlusa Kingdom?
Wasn't it because the Cloud Tower had no less than seven private planes? Each of them supplied the Cloud Tower with a large amount of natural resources, and resources were important to any power. Regardless of how long a power had been around, regardless of how much territory it owned, if it couldn't keep up sufficient resources to support itself, its long reign would become history and the large territory would be taken by others.
Nurture of talents, skill development, everything was inevitably linked to being backed by resources.
Solomon never imagined that he would find a Planar Path in the Ash Tower...
As he thought of that, Solomon couldn't help stamping his feet. 'Those bastards are so lucky, they actually have a Planar Path below the Ash Tower. If one day they find it, wouldn't they receive the support of this plane's resources? Wouldn't the Sage Tower end up in trouble then?'
