Chapter 90

Carefully thinking, from the appearance of the极限法术 to the spell mark becoming dim, the whole process did not exceed half an hour. If it couldn't even last for half an hour, then how did Bain manage to defeat the entire High Temple on his own back then?

For a moment, Lin Yun's mind was filled with countless questions, each more difficult to solve than the last.

Could it be that this Sage's Chapter is a defective product?

That doesn't make sense...

Apart from the issue of the极限法术's insufficient power, this stone slab is no different from the Sage's Chapter in Bain's possession. If this is still a defective product, then the quality of this defective product is a bit too high, isn't it?

But if it's not a defective product, why is the极限法术's power insufficient?

It should have the power of a fourth-level spell, but in reality, it might not even reach the third level. The difference is too great, almost directly bridging the gap between a mage and a high mage.

"Wait, the essence of the undead!"

While he was racking his brains, Lin Yun suddenly remembered that he was able to activate the Sage's Chapter entirely because of a piece of the essence of the undead.

That's right, it's probably related to the essence of the undead.

At first, he didn't think about it because he treated the Sage's Chapter as a regular component. But if he looked at it from another angle, treating the Sage's Chapter as a magical artifact, it would be easier to understand. Magical artifacts require magical power to function, and any magical artifact must have a source of magical power, even an extraordinary magical artifact like the Book of Death is no exception.

So, does the Sage's Chapter also need some kind of power to drive it?

At this point, Lin Yun was about 70-80% sure that the Sage's Chapter, like a magical artifact, also needs some kind of power to drive it. However, this power is not magical power, but the soul fire of undead creatures!

The essence of the undead is itself a substance left behind after the soul fire has cooled...

The reason he was able to activate the Sage's Chapter earlier was because there was a bit of residual soul fire in the essence of the undead. However, this bit of soul fire was too weak, and since the essence of the undead came from a low-level skeleton warrior, it was not enough to support the Sage's Chapter in transforming the Hand of Fire into a极限法术.

Perhaps there are other reasons he hasn't figured out, but roughly speaking, it's about right.

Thinking to this point, Lin Yun took another piece of the essence of the undead from his pocket, intending to use the homemade small tool for a second infusion.

However, as soon as he took out the essence of the undead, Lin Yun realized something was wrong. The previous piece of the essence of the undead had to go through three micro-magical arrays before it could successfully activate the Sage's Chapter in his hand. But this time, as soon as the essence of the undead approached the Sage's Chapter, a visible bit of soul fire was separated and instantly absorbed by the Sage's Chapter. Then, the essence of the undead turned into a black powder, which scattered in the air with a light breeze.

The entire process, Lin Yun didn't even move his fingers; it was completely controlled by the Sage's Chapter.

"Could it be that the previous piece of the essence of the undead, in addition to providing driving power, also awakened the Sage's Chapter?" Thinking this way, Lin Yun found it more reasonable. The Sage's Chapter he obtained from the Garden of Death was actually in a dormant state. Although he triggered some reactions with the Hand of Fire, those were just the instinctive reactions of the Sage's Chapter.

It wasn't until he took out the essence of the undead and infused the residual soul fire that the Sage's Chapter gradually awakened, beginning to show the wonders of an extraordinary component.

However, this awakening is far from enough...

Lin Yun knew that the Sage's Chapter was only in a state of awakening, still far from true awakening. A clear sign was that the Sage's Chapter still couldn't manifest an avatar. This is an extraordinary component, one whose power surpasses even a true spirit. If it can't even manifest an avatar, it only means that his exploration of the Sage's Chapter is still far from complete...

"It might be that the soul fire is not enough." This time, Lin Yun immediately thought of it. The soul fire is definitely very important for the Sage's Chapter; otherwise, a dormant Sage's Chapter wouldn't be activated by a bit of soul fire.

Thinking this, Lin Yun took out all the essence of the undead. For a moment, bits of soul fire separated from the essence of the undead and were absorbed by the Sage's Chapter one by one. In just a short while, all the essence of the undead in Lin Yun's hand turned into black powder.

Then, Lin Yun cast another Hand of Fire.

This time, the spell mark on the Sage's Chapter was clearly much brighter than before.

When Lin Yun used his magical power to trigger it, the power finally reached the third level.

"But it's still not enough..." After confirming that the power of the Hand of Fire still didn't reach the fourth level, Lin Yun shook his head. However, this time, there was not a trace of disappointment on his face. Lin Yun knew that he was on the right path. The restoration of the Sage's Chapter's extraordinary power was just a matter of time for him.

Because he possessed the entire Bone Plane!

It seems that the original plan needs to be revised again.

Originally, Lin Yun planned to enter the Bone Plane again only after he had five magical energy arrays. By then, his combat power would be close to that of a high mage. Even if the sleeping bone mage appeared, Lin Yun was confident he could stand invincible.

But now he can't wait, because the Sage's Chapter needs a large amount of soul fire. For Lin Yun, the importance of the Sage's Chapter is no less than that of the magical energy arrays. The sooner the Sage's Chapter is fully awakened, the higher the efficiency of the magical energy arrays will be, and the greater the power of the极限法术 will be.

More efficient magical energy arrays and more powerful极限法术 will be the foundation for Lin Yun's next exploration of the Prince's Tomb.

In the Prince's Tomb, there is a Wheel of Rebirth...

Lin Yun almost made the decision without hesitation to enter the Bone Plane again. This time, it wasn't for the Nether Iron ore vein, but for the soul fire scattered across the mountains...

After leaving the alchemy laboratory, Lin Yun only greeted Farrow, asking him to arrange the alchemists, and then hurriedly left the Gilded Rose. He called a carriage and quickly returned home.

Familiarly entering the study, he followed the passage to the underground secret chamber. After several months of repairs, the light of the Abyssal Demon Diamond had shone again. With the Frost Witch Heart providing a vast amount of magical power, Lin Yun estimated that he could stay in the Bone Plane for at least three hours this time!

Lin Yun took a light breath, stood in front of the Frost Witch Heart, and began the incantation to open the Planar Path...
