511 Not Too Long (1/2)

She thought for a bit before ultimately making the decision to follow the young mage.

She had waited for too long...

In the past, she'd been unaware of the truth and had always been hoping to reunite with her father one day, so she'd endured the silence and solitude.

But she now knew that it had been a scam that lasted millennia...

Naturally, the most important reason behind her decision was that she didn't trust the young mage.

What would she do if the young mage successfully reached the Heaven realm in a few centuries but forgot his promise?Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

Thus, she felt more at ease following and keeping an eye on him. That way, she could always remind the young mage that he had to fulfill his promise.

Lin Yun was frowning as he looked at Reina. Eventually, he took a deep breath and set out towards the ropeway to return to the Ice Field. The group of seven took about ten hours to return to the Planar Path.

While going through the Planar Path, Lin Yun naturally didn't forget to pick up the Chromatic Dragon Crystal in the middle, and once they reached the Raging Flame Plane, he impatiently took out the ones embedded in the array, causing that azure Planar Path to silently fade away. But there was no regret. He had used the Book of Death to record the Planar Coordinates beforehand.

This trip to the Winter Plane had been quite fruitful, garnering him five Chromatic Dragon Crystals.

After returning to the Raging Flame Plane, Lin Yun split off from Thorne and the others and didn't return to the Flame Demon Fort. Instead, he continued to the Ghost Valley, where he found a secluded place to calmly meditate.

Since he came to the Raging Flame Plane three months ago, he went through one large battle after the other, and the fight against Frost Dragon Reina had exhausted all his mana, including the mana of the three True Spirit Magic Tools. But he had greatly benefitted from this battle and had gained a lot of insights.

Thus, after returning, he impatiently wanted to process those insights.

This was bound to take a while, and days passed as Lin Yun remained motionless.

However, several hundred meters away, a pair of silvery-white eyes were keeping a close watch on him.

Reina didn't follow Thorne and the others back to Flame Demon Fort either. She had secretly followed Lin Yun until he started meditating. When he entered his meditative state, she stopped and stayed some distance away, silently waiting for him.

With her insight as an 8th Rank Archmage, she could naturally see that the young mage was at a critical juncture and couldn't be disturbed. This would be a very long process that might take several days, or even a few months. She just patiently waited, paying attention to the young mage's situation and kicking out any magic beasts that got too close so that the young mage wouldn't be disturbed.

As she waited, a shocking mana fluctuation was suddenly emitted from the young mage's body, raising gusts of winds that sent sand and stones flying. Suddenly, alarmed cries could be heard coming from the nearby magic beasts, but the young mage didn't seem affected at all as he remained sitting there peacefully.

'Quite powerful…'

Even Reina was impressed as she looked at Lin Yun. She could clearly feel the mana fluctuations emitted by the young mage rising at an incredible rate before reaching the peak of the 5th Rank High Mage realm.

But this was far from over...

Just as the young mage reached the peak of the 5th Rank, gales whistled in the surroundings and terrifying mana spread in all directions like a tide. Under the impact of that frightening mana wave, the trees and plants in the surroundings quickly withered.

But incredibly, the mana fluctuations emitted by the young mage were still rising and reached a critical juncture in a short few seconds.

Seeing that the young mage was about to advance once again, Reina was even more shocked. She couldn't understand… How did the young mage accomplish such a feat?

It was common knowledge that each breakthrough in the High Mage realm, whether it was for mages or other creatures, required several years. Even geniuses would need at least a few months before a breakthrough. Yet, this young mage advanced from the 5th Rank to the 6th Rank in a matter of minutes, and it looked like he would soon reach the 7th Rank.

But at this time, the commotion suddenly stopped...

Lin Yun had opened his eyes.
