End of the Magic Era

Chapter 1230 - Whisper Crystal 2



Chapter 1230 Whisper Crystal 2

This was only one of its abilities, the strange energy could even affect potions, puppets, and arrays.

But another method was needed for those, it wasn’t like Magic Tools, which needed energy poured into them directly.

The Starry Sky College was currently using the most rudimentary method. After a millennium, they would find the method to use the Whisper Crystal’s power to craft True Spirit Magic Tools, and the crafted True Spirit Magic Tools would have their Incarnation destroyed immediately to be replaced by something else.

The Magic Tools could be used that way, it’s just that their strength would be weakened. But this allowed the Starry Sky College to reverse the process of the research and they were able to craft a special Magic Tool every year.

At that moment, it was time for the Starry Sky College to start rising. Noscent was rapidly developing and the Starry Sky College was just a Holy Land. The endless planes brought endless opportunities and more and more powerful alchemists emerged, no longer just from the Starry Sky College. Even the Whisper Crystal could no longer maintain the Starry Sky College’s position.

The Starry Sky College could only keep its position because they had several Saint Alchemists and many powerhouses had requests for these Saint Alchemists.

But the Starry Sky College would inevitably start declining as the strength of mages kept raising. Any force of the Odin Kingdom would have more Heaven Rank powerhouses than the Starry Sky College. And their first-rate powerhouses were even stronger than the powerhouses of the Starry Sky College.

Noscent was a mage world in the end, not an alchemist world…

And at that time, the Starry Sky College developed a new way to use the Whisper Crystal, through potions. They would craft a very powerful Heaven Grade Potion every year, which became the priority target for looting.

Afterwards, the Starry Sky College used the Whisper Crystal’s power to set arrays in order to protect the Starry Sky College. Although the offensive power was lacking, the defensive power was more than enough.

Those more powerful forces even looked for the Whisper Crystal, but they also couldn’t find a way to seize it without suffering huge losses, and it’s not like they had the technology required.

Thus, the Starry Sky College kept its position as the Holy Land of alchemists for more than two thousand years.

At that time, a genius appeared in the Starry Sky College, he was terrifying in both alchemy and magic. He was praised as the most outstanding genius the Starry Sky College ever had in the past few thousand years.

And that genius even resisted the temptation of the Magic Tool made with the Whisper Crystal and found the method to handle the Whisper Crystal. After a lot of twists and turns, he eventually made the Whisper Crystal yield.

And at that time, the Starry Sky College’s rise could no longer be prevented.

That genius used the Whisper Crystal to craft a lot of Spiritual Magic Tools, and not only was the temptation no longer present, the powerhouses of the Starry Sky College were able to have a tailor-made Magic Tool strengthened to the True Spirit Grade every month.

He comprehended the runes on the Whisper Crystal and everyone learnt that the Whisper Crystal’s truth runes weren’t endless, there was just 108,000 of them. Every face of the Whisper Crystal had 6,000 of them.

But the truth runes’ strange nature and the fact that they couldn’t be copied made everyone feel like they were never ending.

The key part of the Whisper Crystal laid in those 108,000 truth runes, not the peculiar energy of the Whisper Crystal itself. That talented genius smoothly became a Saint Alchemist upon comprehending the truth runes.

Later, he imparted his understanding of the truth runes to the alchemists of the Starry Sky College. Over the course of a few hundred years, the Starry Sky College piled achievement upon achievement without stopping.

Many of Noscent’s peak technologies and achievements came from the Starry Sky College, they even developed many groundbreaking theories during that time.

The Starry Sky College was emboldened, and that Saint Alchemist became a Peak Heaven Mage within a few centuries.

That, and the progress of the Starry Sky College’s research, shocked the entire Noscent.

In the endless planes, if a magic battleship of the Starry Sky College appeared, the other forces who also discovered the plane would either compromise and cooperate, or yield to the Starry Sky College and directly withdraw in order to possibly gain the favor of the Starry Sky College and obtain some help in a certain field.

That was the golden age of the Starry Sky College. The Starry Sky College could be said to be at the forefront of Noscent during that time.

But then, when that genius at the peak of the Heaven Rank was about to take the last step and ignite his God Fire, he suddenly went crazy.

At the time, everyone had gathered at the Starry Sky College in order to witness the one leading them ignite his God Fire. But at the last moment, that talented genius went crazy and went thoroughly insane.

With his power at the peak of the Heaven Rank, just one stomp could crush a Heaven Rank powerhouse. As he started killing in the Starry Sky College, it took him no more than a few minutes to get rid of several dozen Heaven Rank powerhouses and a large number of alchemists.

Almost all of the Heaven Rank powerhouses of the Starry Sky College died due to the crazy slaughter and destruction. The Starry Sky College’s achievements of the last few millennia were gone, the results of their research were thoroughly destroyed and countless precious materials and researches were destroyed.

Even the alchemists were killed and Neverwinter City didn’t escape the destruction. Raging flames surged from the earth and completely covered Neverwinter City. The flames burnt for no less than three years until they dissipated.

The few remaining people started rebuilding the Starry Sky College, but they were already inferior to a 3rd rate force in Noscent. Even as the former alchemists’ Holy Land, not many alchemists came over.

As for that genius, he disappeared after killing and destroying everything in the Starry Sky College.

Many alchemists later excavated records of the Whisper Crystal and ended up concluding that the genius had been possessed by the Whisper Crystal’s evil spirit and thus went insane as he was about to form his God Fire.

As for the Whisper Crystal, it disappeared alongside that genius, only leaving behind a legend. Many of its secrets would only be unearthed later.

A damaged letter left behind by that genius would also be unearthed. The key 108,000 runes were written on it as the key part of the Whisper Crystal.

The Whisper Crystal was regarded as evil itself.

The name Whisper Crystal was given later on, representing a Devil’s whisper containing endless attraction and evilness.

But no matter how the Whisper Crystal was vilified, everyone approved of the Whisper Crystal’s 108,000 truth runes.

Because of them, it only took a hundred years for a genius to reach the Saint Alchemist realm!

This was the shortest amount of time anyone took to reach the Saint Alchemist realm in Noscent’s history. Those who researched the truth runes later confirmed that as long as one comprehended the 108,000 truth runes, they would comprehend the secrets of alchemy and becoming a Saint Alchemist would be as easy as drinking a cup of water.

How could Lin Yun not be interested by that kind of benefit? But he was only interested in those 108,000 truth runes, he didn’t have much of an interest in the Whisper Crystal.

The evilness of the Whisper Crystal was on par with its formidable power. That genius, in a few millennia, hadn’t discovered anything wrong. The Starry Sky College even had seven Saint Alchemists during their golden age, but not a single one of them noticed anything wrong.

Lin Yun didn’t think that the Whisper Crystal was something good, the strange energy within the Whisper Crystal was indeed powerful, and as long as it was subdued, many powerful items, potions, Magic Tools, arrays, and even puppets could be made and pushed to the Heaven Rank through the power of the Whisper Crystal. The puppets even completed the wisdom awakening step.

But Lin Yun didn’t want that thing, because what the Whisper Crystal could do, Lin Yun could also do.

They arrived on the first day, but the gathering hadn’t started yet. Instead, people from the Starry Sky College led everyone to their living spaces. They could look at this space or check on the Whisper Crystal. After all, it was the first time for several people, not everyone came here multiple times.

And through Zeith’s explanations, he learnt that the gathering had been conducted multiple times. The Starry Sky College required Artisans to come and comprehend the Whisper Crystal.

The gathering would happen every ten years and many Artisans would be coming over to participate. Everyone would comprehend the Whisper Crystal for half a year, but the cost was that the Artisans had to make a copy of their comprehension of the law runes for the Starry Sky College.

After finding out this information, Lin Yun suddenly understood why the Starry Sky College was revered as the alchemists’ Holy Land. The alchemy techniques of the Starry Sky College simply dominated Noscent.

It wasn’t just because there was already three Saint Alchemists, nor because of the large number of Artisans and nurtured alchemists. Rather, it was because of the Whisper Crystal.

Others didn’t know how powerful truth runes were, but Lin Yun understood very well. Every single one of the 108,000 truth runes contained a huge amount of information, as well as many alchemy mysteries.

But even if they were the same mysteries, different people would get completely different comprehension. The same truth rune would be understood differently by a potioneer and a magic tool refiner.

As for those that could come here to comprehend, they were all Artisans. The things Artisans comprehended weren’t inferior, many of these things would be very advanced and the concepts would also be ahead of their time. Any Artisan here could comprehend something formidable.

And these things would all be left to the Starry Sky College in the end. That way, the Starry Sky College’s alchemy techniques would always exceed other forces, allowing them to maintain their current position.

Most importantly, Starry Sky College’s Zeith didn’t explain, but Lin Yun knew that everyone had a limit when comprehending truth runes. The more they comprehended, the harder it would be to comprehend new truth runes. It would also require more time.

The Starry Sky College’s Artisans had already reached their limits and couldn’t continue comprehending unless they got a hold of a new method, or their rank increased.

But in order to get more things regarding truth runes, the best method was to find other Artisans and learn of the secrets behind their comprehension. This was the best method. Not only could it increase their reputation, they would also remain ahead.

After all, the Whisper Crystal was the only way to comprehend truth runes. A copied rune would lose most of the “truth” it contained.

The Starry Sky College was operating a profitable business with no expense. Even if they did nothing, their research of the truth runes would become deeper and deeper. One day, an Artisan might suddenly reach the Saint Alchemist realm.

And with one more Saint Alchemist, the Starry Sky College’s position would remain stable for a few millennia.

This side of the huge space had a few hundred independent buildings, each of which were separated by quite a long distance.

The Artisans could casually choose their residence, but no battle was allowed here and they couldn’t casually undergo alchemy experiments because they might destroy the space. Even if they didn’t destroy the space, everyone might be trapped until they died if the exit was destroyed.

Those that had conflicts before remained well-behaved, no one dared to treat their own life lightly.

The first day of looking around would soon end. They would have more freedom to look around on the second day.

Lin Yun went to the Whisper Crystal’s location. There were already numerous Artisans around the crystal table. Everyone was completely focused on studying the Whisper Crystal’s truth runes.

After all, those truth runes would definitely follow a certain pattern and transform at regular intervals. If they couldn’t comprehend the mysteries of the truth rune during that time, they shouldn’t even think of trying to comprehend a law rune.

This was also the reason why the Starry Sky College only invited Artisans. Alchemists under the Artisan realm simply couldn’t complete their research of a truth rune.

When researching truth runes, all Artisans would display the qualities an Artisan should have and pay no attention to their surroundings. Everyone’s energy and attention would be placed onto the truth runes.

In the distance, the Mosh Family’s two Artisans had their mechanical arms extended, their palms turned into smooth metal plates. The two of them were continuously releasing law runes into their palms and those law runes were forming a chaotic stream of information.

After all, truth runes simply couldn’t be copied, because the secret they contained would be lost during the copy, they wouldn’t be able to learn the original secret through copy.

The Mosh Family’s two Artisans were using another method, their mechanical arms had clearly been crafted with utmost care and contained special abilities. One of which was allowing them to directly interact with the secrets of those truth runes by using the power of law runes.

By the time a truth rune’s secret was decomposed, they would temporarily place it into the law runes before continuing their research.

After all, every truth rune would appear for a very short period of time, and during this time, they absolutely couldn’t think of comprehending a truth rune’s secret.

The Mosh Family’s Artisans speed could be considered extremely fast. Most of the other Artisans could only seize the opportunity to comprehend a truth rune when it appeared, and they might be unable to completely comprehend its secret, but they would obtain some good benefits.

Lin Yun could be said to be the latest Artisan. By the time he arrived, a good-looking Artisan of the Odin Kingdom appeared to be in ecstasy and leaned forward on the crystal table to rapidly write a large amount of disorderly pieces of data.

Others might not be able to make sense of those, but to that Artisan, this might be a thorough understanding of the truth rune. That secret might be able to solve some difficult problem he had recently been having.

As for Raphael, he was frowning, apparently having met some difficult problem. He foolishly looked at the Whisper Crystal, focused on an unknown truth rune. A gale could be seen in his hand, continuously changing shape. He was clearly using his own mana to help with the comprehension.

Gurrig House was looking down at a basin containing a dozen multi-colored plants with smooth leaves. As Gurrig’s mana and law rune surged, the color of those plants’ leaves rapidly changed, and the originally unclear boundaries between the colors was rapidly altered.

In the end, every color was as thin as hair and it looked like it transformed into countless colored lines on the leaves. This was the computing method Gurrig mastered.

As for Albert, he was holding a crystal ball and an endless stream of data was continuously surging within the crystal ball. Albert’s eyes were firmly fixed on the crystal ball while he occasionally wrote down some key data without even looking.
