439 Wailing River (1/2)

There might be only 20% of the parts missing, but the impact was huge. Some of the missing parts included some of the core components, and those components were very hard to find in Noscent.

'It looks like I have to take a trip to the Puppet Plane soon…'

After finding that Planar Path during the Tulan Mountain Range trip, Lin Yun had planned to visit the Puppet Plane, but something unexpected happened in the middle and he had no other choice but to give up. But he would go back to the Tulan Mountain Range sooner or later, and through that Planar Path, he would enter the Puppet Plane. That plane was filled with endless puppets, and getting a large amount of rare materials wouldn't be a problem there.

Moreover, that thing was in the Puppet Plane. If he could get it, he would definitely get huge benefits, and although his puppet wouldn't reach Heaven Rank, easily dealing with level 37 and level 38 existences wouldn't be a problem.

The next step was constructing arrays. This work would expend a lot of energy, and various problems would appear midway, such as the carved array conflicting with a spell enchanted on the puppet, or similar issues. These thorny problems would be very troublesome if they couldn't be fixed.

Even Lin Yun, who came from the future and had dismantled countless puppets, also felt like he was under pressure. With ink and a quill in hand, he first made calculations on a draft paper before starting to carve the array.

He attached a lot of importance to this Heaven Puppet, and the carving of the arrays was no exception. They were all extremely profound and could be classified as the work of a top-rate Master Alchemist. Most of the techniques used didn't belong to this era. However, Lin Yun fell far short in terms of technique. Even some Saint Alchemists couldn't reach the requirements. It was because this Heaven puppet came from the greatest alchemist since ancient times, the Dark Sage.

After carving the arrays, he added a few enchantments and finished up everything. After two days of work, Lin Yun's eyes had become bloodshot. He was completely exhausted, but when looking at the puppet in front of him, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. After installing the parts, the power of this Heaven Puppet could be considered quite good.

He estimated that the puppet was no weaker than a 5th Rank Sword Saint.

Moreover, this was after using ordinary materials to repair the damaged components. If his trip to the Heaven Plane went smoothly, this Heaven Puppet might become one of the most terrifying assets he possessed.

Lin Yun could no longer resist the urge to activate the array to look at the might of the Heaven Puppet. After all, he had spent a lot of time on this puppet. He fished out a level 35 mana crystal from his pocket, the one he obtained after killing the Wyvern King, and although it was only a level 35 mana crystal, it was enough for now.

He inserted it into the mana source location.

But it was immediately followed by a voice: ”The end of the Wailing River…”

Lin Yun suddenly noticed the eye of the Heaven Puppet opening. Although this wasn't the first time, Lin Yun was still startled and anxiously looked at the Heaven Puppet… But after saying those words, the Heaven Puppet remained motionless.

'Could it be another message left behind by the Dark Sage?'

Lin Yun felt strange. The Heaven Puppet had said two sentences when Lin Yun first found it. The first one was, ”Is there still someone left alive?” while the second one was ”There is no path forward, no future, no hope…”

Back then, Lin Yun had been wondering if it had been a message left by the Dark Sage. Unfortunately, the Heaven Puppet had been damaged too severely.

The information the Dark Sage wanted to transmit had to be very important. Otherwise, he wouldn't use such a method. If Lin Yun could, he would repair the Heaven Puppet to its original state to receive that message.

Unfortunately, it was too difficult.

'The end of the Wailing River…' Lin Yun kept repeating this sentence in his mind. The phrase was definitely holding some important clues, and although he didn't have a lot of information concerning the Wailing River, he knew that it was located in the Raging Flame Plane.

Lin Yun suddenly recalled that Emperor Zhantui had remained in the imperial palace during his last decade and rarely showed his face. Many people thought that the emperor had caught a serious illness. However, there had been one exception, which had been a year before Emperor Zhantui's death. Sengman Zhantui secretly led guards and a group of Court Mages to the Raging Flame Plane. When he returned a month later, Sengman passed the throne to his 2nd son and passed away not long after.

From the three sentences uttered by the Heaven Puppet, as well as that stone tablet left in the Bloodshed Forest, it looked like those three powerhouses from different eras all shared something in common, it seemed to be related to a terrifying secret which was now pointing towards the Wailing River.

It looked like he had to take a trip to the Raging Flame Plane...
