Chapter 1187 - Reedpush Plate (1/2)

Lin Yun didn’t exactly know how big the smallest star was, but he knew that only a star could emit that kind of light, and it had to be very big to be visible. Even if the body of a God was lying on that star, it would be comparable to a stone on a beach.

But what kind of power was formidable enough to extinguish a star?

Lin Yun suddenly felt that many of the things he read about in Heiss City’s decaying library couldn’t express this situation. Descriptions couldn’t be used as reference points especially when it came to the Heaven Rank or power beyond the Heaven Rank.

That kind of power could be felt but couldn’t be expressed with words.

Lin Yun had always used the records in the books as reference and suddenly felt that he might have been restricted by the books. He had completely underestimated Heaven Rank powerhouses and powerhouses surpassing the Heaven Rank. Just how much power could they use…

The books always explained that those under the Heaven Rank were mortals, that the gap between mortals and Heaven Rank powerhouses was terrifyingly high and that the gap between every subsequent rank was similarly terrifyingly big. The higher the rank, the harder it was to advance.

Now, Lin Yun clearly understood that it couldn’t be expressed in words at all. Just how powerful were those God-like mages during Noscent’s peak?

Lin Yun suddenly felt that he had greatly underestimated Noscent at its peak…

Sitting in front of the Starry Sky Gate, Lin Yun’s heart slowly calmed down. Even if some danger befell this place, he would be able to instantly step across the Starry Sky Gate to return. As for that huge deepsea-like pressure on the other side of the Starry Sky Gate, it might be there in order to stop any accident from surging out of the starry sky.

Even the energy storm wreaking havoc would be unable to tear this Starry Sky Gate to shreds. Even if it poured in the Starry Sky Gate, it wouldn’t spurt out on the other side.

Lin Yun closed his eyes and calmly sensed the fluctuations within the starry sky. There were all kinds of laws and they could be felt clearly, with the Spatial Law being the easiest to feel. Anyone entering this place would feel insignificant to the point where it would even give birth to a deep fear.

Even the terrifying force that made a part of the starry sky collapse and destroyed a star was only a small wave when compared to the entire starry sky.

Lin Yun sat in the starry sky and closed his eyes, remaining motionless. The mana fluctuations coming from his body slowly weakened until they ultimately dissipated.

Then his life aura slowly weakened until it thoroughly dissipated. It was like his entire self merged into the starry sky. The ancient and all-inclusive aura spread through the entire starry sky.

An unknown amount of time passed before Lin Yun suddenly opened his eyes with a dull gaze. A starry sky could faintly be seen flickering within his eyes.

Lin Yun’s body didn’t emit mana fluctuations, he was like an ordinary person that had never learnt magic, even his life aura had greatly weakened. It had weakened to the point where Lin Yun’s existence might not be discoverable with Detect Life.

After taking a deep look into the starry sky, Lin Yun turned and entered the Starry Sky Gate.

As he walked out, the deepsea-like pressure appeared once again and pressured Lin Yun’s body from various directions.

But Lin Yun didn’t use mana, nor did he raise a shield. It looked like he was just relying on his body to resist the pressure.

Reedman was waiting outside the Starry Sky Gate and couldn’t help sighing in relief when he finally saw Lin Yun.

“Sir Mafa, you finally returned! I was about to go look for you… Hold on, Sir Mafa, what about your mana?”

Reedman looked at Lin Yun in shock, he completely hadn’t expected Lin Yun’s body to have no mana fluctuations. He thought that Lin Yun encountered some accident in the ancient starry sky path. But he soon reacted, even he had to use a shield to resist the pressure here, yet Lin Yun was resisting without a shield, and didn’t look uncomfortable…

‘Damn, what happened in the end? What did that monster Mafa encounter in the starry sky ancient path?

‘Is he resisting that huge pressure just with his body? Even Heaven Sword Saint need to rouse their Aura to resist the pressure of this place… Has he found a treasure that increased his physique to an unfathomable level?

‘No, no, Mafa’s body doesn’t seem different from before, but he isn’t using a shield…

‘It’s as if the pressure is sliding alongside his body and isn’t pressuring him down, as if he had already merged with this space and became a part of the pressure…

‘What the hell happened…’

Reedman’s expression was indescribable. Even he, as a Peak 3rd Rank Heaven Mage, still needed to use mana to resist the pressure while Lin Yun, an Archmage, didn’t need mana to resist the pressure.

Most importantly, he couldn’t make sense of it. Ever since he returned from the starry sky path, Lin Yun had become even more mysterious and he couldn’t figure it out.

Lin Yun smiled but didn’t answer Reedman’s question, he only said the following three words.

“I greatly benefited.”

Reedman sighed.

“I’ve been worried that you would never return after entering the starry sky path. Many powerhouses of the Merlin Family have been thoroughly lost after entering the starry sky path.

That galaxy could be said to be the most crucial coordinates and guide, but there are too many dangers on the ancient starry sky path. Nothing can be expected and accidents could happen at any time making it impossible to find the galaxy. The galaxy might temporarily disappear too.

After all, in this kind of place, a small gap in an angle could result in a ten-thousand-kilometer-wide gap. Being lost within the endless void is very normal…”

Lin Yun nodded. Some mages might be unable to understand, but Lin Yun was a transmigrator, he couldn’t be more clear about it. In the starry sky, if there was no complete coordinates, it would be impossible to find a target. Without coordinates, even something as big as a sun might not be found.

Throughout Noscent’s eras, the few powerhouses that entered the endless void ultimately disappeared forever, never to be seen again.

And the most likely possibility was that they didn’t die in the starry sky, but became lost.

“Could it be that after so many years, none of those that were lost managed to return?” Lin Yun asked casually.

Others might be lost, but the ancient starry sky path that the Merlin Family possessed had a guidance, even if that guidance wasn’t fail-proof.

Reedman seemed to think of something.

“As for the people lost, no one came back, but an ancestor managed to transmit a piece of information back after getting lost. It was a letter to be more precise.

“But the information was too vague, it looked like coordinates, but they were no coordinates of Noscent’s world, we can’t figure out what was recorded.”

Lin Yun was originally just asking for the sake of it, but he hadn’t expected that there would be something.

Reedman seemed to have ignored this news for a long time as he had a hard time remembering it.

“It’s already been a long time, so we have neglected this message.

“When this message was sent back, we specially sought people proficient in archaeology to study the letter’s raw material and craft. It came from the early stages of the 3rd Dynasty.

“This letter was sent without damage and the content didn’t change, but the raw materials had already gone extinct in the later stages of the 3rd Dynasty. Moreover, that type of craft is something only the peak powerhouses of the 3rd Dynasty mastered.

“It was when a substitute to the magic scrolls’ materials appeared, with its effect being only a bit weaker than beast hide.”

“3rd Dynasty’s magic scroll paper?” Lin Yun suddenly interjected.

Using paper to replace magic beasts’ hide for magic scrolls… In this era and the previous ones, only the 3rd Dynasty’s magic scroll paper had this ability.

Reedman nodded.

“Indeed, this is a bit strange. At that time, the ancestor used the paper of the 3rd Dynasty to send some information back. This was naturally treated seriously by the family.

“The information on top of it had been deciphered, but the deciphered information were coordinates and we didn’t get anything of value after checking the place.

“Aside from those, there was this complicated disk symbol on the letter. At the time, our family hired an Artisan but he only figured out that it was a perfect symbol. He couldn’t ascertain what that was, it could be a kind of precise alchemy device, or some kind of special symbol.”

Lin Yun became interested.
