Chapter 1262 - Growth and Bandits (1/2)
Agalon said these words very casually, he was completely confident.
Lin Yun smiled bitterly, he couldn’t say that he had a better understanding of Natural Demiplanes than him, he wouldn’t believe him.
Lin Yun was struggling to hold on. Inside the Natural Demiplane, the halo of the mountain and the Mana Water of the mana lake were rapidly being consumed, it even caused the Natural Demiplane’s mana density to sharply decline.
This was actually a good thing. Mana kept accumulating in the process of developing the Natural Demiplane,and it wasn’t a good thing, at least to Lin Yun.
Because so much mana accumulating meant that power wasn’t consumed, it also meant that the development of the Natural Demiplane was slow.
When it came to Natural Demiplane’s development, mana was never enough.
If there was too much mana accumulated, then the Mana Vines’ growth would stagnate. Only when the Natural Demiplane’s mana was lacking would the Mana Vines feel that the mana torn from the void wasn’t enough and would continue spreading.
The mana lake wasn’t full but the Mana Water was rapidly consumed. The forest of Mana Vines, spreading over ten kilometers and looking like a green pillar supporting the sky, seemed to suddenly come alive.
Each Mana Vine slowly split up into two smaller Mana Vines which inserted themselves into the void, devouring the power within the void to fill the Natural Demiplane’s gap.
As time passed, the mana lake’s Mana Water slowly dried up and the mana permeating the air of the Demiplane was consumed. The southern volcanoes became silent and the northern ice field started melting. This was the effect of mana deficiency. The Mana Vines then went completely insane.
The biggest mana crisis in the history of the Natural Demiplane has become the best foundation for the development of the Mana Vines. All the Mana Vines within ten kilometers frantically split in two, and then into four. They were twisting their bodies towards the sky like giant pythons.
They were frantically tearing through the void’s mana. It was like ordinary vegetation suddenly sensing moisture on the verge of death and bursting with their strongest potential. The Mana Vines formed a thick jade-colored pillar supporting the sky.
The condensed pure mana slowly flowed down, but that pure Mana Water didn’t have time to reach the mana lake before being consumed.
This was the same as the Natural Demiplane remaining in a state of mana dryness. The Mana Vines instinctively believed that this was the best time to grow and that there wasn’t enough of them. Ultimately, the Mana Vines would keep splitting, growing, splitting, growing…
Moreover, the Natural Demiplane was consuming a large amount of mana to cast a protection around Lin Yun. The mystic Laws formed a dense layer of fog around him which made him barely visible.
The difference was too great. The power of the Laws seemed to have been directly imprinted in Lin Yun’s soul and comprehending the Laws became thousands of times easier and clearer.
Lin Yun bitterly smiled, but he knew that this was an extremely rare opportunity. A powerhouse that could already alter Laws personally helped him and said he would help him reach the peak of the Heaven realm within ten years, this was no different from a cheat.
Because the Natural Demiplane had the opportunity to evolve into a true world. As they developed, the Laws would be perfected, but they wouldn’t rely on magic comprehension, they would mainly be relying on the Natural Demiplane’s growth to evolve naturally.
With that and Agalon’s help and training, comprehending the Laws would really be no different from cheating.
Even without Agalon’s help, Lin Yun would grow stronger and faster as he comprehended the Laws of the Natural Demiplane. This was the reason why owners of Demiplanes would all become terrifying powerhouses once they reached the Heaven Rank, without any exception. The weakest would still be at the peak of Heaven Rank.
More importantly, with Agalon’s help and his control over his power, he could definitely be pressured to his limits without risking accidental death.
With such a good opportunity, how could Lin Yun be willing to let go of it. He was resisting with all his power on one side while comprehending the Laws’ projection, which was countless times clearer, on the other side.
A week rapidly passed.
Lin Yun quickly reached his limits, and so did the Natural Demiplane.
The comprehension he obtained within that week could compare to six month inside the Natural Demiplane, he only needed to consolidate what he gained to thoroughly transform himself.
As for the Natural Demiplane, the Mana Vines frantically expanded but still couldn’t support the mana consumption. The forest of Mana Vine already expanded a dozen times and all the Mana Vines had reached the thinnest size they could, to the point where they could no longer split in two until they matured.
Losing that huge mana consumption, the Mana Vines’ condensed Mana Water converged into a waterfall which followed the Mana Vines into the mana lake. The dried-up mana lake slowly started filling, and according to that speed, it would take two days to be completely filled. And this was with most of its mana being consumed by the Natural Demiplane. The dried-up energy started being replenished once again just like a plant regaining its colors. With the huge consumption of mana, the developing Natural Demiplane slowly started rapidly evolving, the world expanded and evolved.
After two days, the chaos within the Natural Demiplane ceased. After frantically maturing, the Mana Vines once again turned into thick emerald vines extending straight from the ground into the void. The forest of Mana Vines covered over forty kilometers, but it spread up along the length of the Mana Vines, expanding a dozen times as they reached into the void.
The differences between the Demiplane’s four poles became even more pronounced. In the west, the earth became thicker and started producing metal, crystals and other things. The eastern gales whistled over the sea, and lightning fell repeatedly. In the south, blazing lava erupted from the volcanoes, and as long as there was heat, those flames would never stop burning. As for the north, crystal-like dark blue ice started condensing.
This was a really good thing for the Demiplane. It meant that after stabilizing, the Laws of the four elements had a deeper evolution. From being simple, they started becoming more and more complex. Once branches of the Laws appeared, the Laws would become even more complete.
It was like a sapling taking root in the ground. As it grew, more and more branches would be formed until it turned into a tall and lush tree.
With this growth of the Natural Demiplane, only the four Laws could be said to be branching out and frantically growing. The Spatial Law had just become a small sapling, while the Light and Darkness Law only started to germinate, who knew how long it would take before they started growing.
He rested for two days to settle his Laws’ comprehension before making the Natural Demiplane recover. Then, that deadly exclusion feeling surged and the surroundings once again turned into that boundless starry sky. Lin Yun had already made his preparations and continued his resistance.
Lin Yun started the neverending painful training with Agalon, while on the other side, the Rodney Family, who had been humiliated, was completely silent.
Three days after the attack on the Gilded Rose, a convoy of the Gilded Rose was raided by bandits at the frontier of the Odin Kingdom.
That kind of matter wasn’t surprising, they only needed to strengthen their defenses. Convoys would be raided every year, it was enough to support a powerful mage family. The number of bandit forces spread around the Odin Kingdom simply couldn’t be counted.
They didn’t dare to rob powerful forces, and powerful forces didn’t feel like wasting power on them. Ordinary forces, or even smaller forces, were their main targets.
There were also forces, like the Gilded Rose, that had no influence in the Odin Kingdom.
After being raided for the third time, Faleau felt that something wasn’t right. But the person he dispatched to look out for clues found out that the other side were really bandits.
A week later…
“Sir Faleau, our convoy of goods and materials has been snatched again. The losses were huge this time, there were some Perfect Grade Hope Potions and a few bottles of Perfect Grade Volcano Potions that had been compounded at the headquarters.
“However, we figured out where these bandits came from…”
Faleau had a calm yet unsightly expression. It was the fourth time the convoy was raided not far from its destination. It was on the golden trade path between the Andlusa Kingdom and Odin Kingdom, the path that convoys had to take to enter the Odin Kingdom.
