247 Keep I (1/2)

If the Heaven Enlightening Plane was like a sea, that Planar Path would be akin to an ark upon which Lin Yun sailed towards the center of the Heaven Enlightening Plane.

At this time, Lin Yun truly understood the importance of the Crystal Scales.

This was completely different from what he had thought before. The Crystal Scales weren't just the key to opening the Planar Path, they were also the control mechanism for the entire Planar Path.

If not for the Crystal Scales, the journey would have ended there. Lin Yun had already experienced how frightening the mana from the vast void was. Just carelessly absorbing one wisp of it had nearly been enough to ruin his life. Only two outcomes would await them if they moved forward and walked in that endless void.

One was to drift in the void forever.

And the other was to instantly be turned into ashes.

'Turns out it's like this…' Lin Yun understood why the Crystal Scales had remained in the stone tower.

He had already seen the power of the Crystal Scales.

A Spiritual Magic Tool set that could let Fran reach the Archmage realm and possess the power of an Artisan... That was a heaven-defying existence. Even Vaughn, as the final Artisan of the empire, had unimaginable status. But Lin Yun was convinced that besides those three puppets, he wouldn't be able to find any Magic Tools on par with that set.

With the custom of the 3rd Dynasty to bury possessions alongside their dead, why weren't the Crystal Scales buried in Crystal Island, but instead in the distant Four Seasons Canyon?

Lin Yun had always been curious about that.

But he now understood. Vaughn put the Crystal Scales there in order to give people the chance to open the Planar Path and enter the Heaven Enlightening Plane.

This wasn't a coincidence.

This had all been planned when Vaughn was still alive.

But after figuring this out, Lin Yun didn't have a feeling of sudden enlightenment. Rather, more and more questions appeared in his mind.

Such as, 'Why did Vaughn plan this…'

Or, 'What happened on the Planar Path in the end…'

And many others.

One question after another spiralled around in Lin Yun's mind, making him feel as if he had sunk into a swamp. The more he struggled, the deeper he sank. The more he raked his brain, the more questions he'd think of.

”Merlin, Merlin…” As Lin Yun was entranced, Solomon's voice came from behind.

”What is it, High Mage Solomon.” Lin Yun didn't feel angry at having his thoughts interrupted, he only turned and asked politely.

”This… You… Don't you...?” Solomon asked with one hand hidden behind his back. There were some signs of struggle on his face at first, but then, he steeled himself and took out a scroll.

”Eh?” Lin Yun was surprised. He looked at the scroll and saw that it was a Meditation Law Set.

The set was comprised of nine formulas. Lin Yun carefully looked at them and noticed that three of them were based on astrology. This was enough for Lin Yun to understand that this Meditation Law Set was most likely Sky Eyes Oliver's Splendid Starry Sky.

Solomon was quite fortunate. The Splendid Starry Sky would be a top-quality Meditation Law Set in the current Andlusa Kingdom. It was more than enough to be treated as a core Meditation Law in the Sage Tower.

But what did it mean for Solomon to take out the Splendid Starry Sky?

Lin Yun froze before reacting.

'Is Solomon asking if I want it?'

”Eh… High Mage Solomon…” Lin Yun didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this time. Although the Splendid Starry Sky was an inheritance from Sky Eyes Oliver, nine-formula Meditation Law Sets weren't regarded as much in the future. Only those who had just become mages would use this kind of Meditation Law Set as a foundation.

Any decent mage would be practicing a ten-formula Meditation Law Set, let alone someone like Lin Yun.

He had several dozen Meditation Law Sets in mind. Never mind nine formulas or ten formulas, Lin Yun had three of the most famous fourteen-formula Meditation Law Sets!

Otherwise, Lin Yun wouldn't have casually thrown out a few Meditation Law Sets during the Magic Hand's gathering.

Furthermore...

Lin Yun had yet to choose his core Meditation Law Set.
