Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 307 Ji Lin's Suspicion

The process of opening up the Sacred Mark Space went exceptionally smoothly, and the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass quickly manipulated the Sacred Mark Space to merge with the vessel that his main body had transformed into.

A small yet exquisite octagonal ice grass, entirely ice-blue in color and composed of ice crystals, floated before him.

This is the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass Holy Mark. Ji Lin slowly attached the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass Holy Mark to his right leg. He planned to have the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass modify his right leg bone, while his left arm bone was reserved for Ice Bear King Xiaobai. After all, Ice Bear King Xiaobai's strongest weapon was his claws, which were more suitable to become his left arm bone than the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass.

With a flash of light, the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass Saint Mark merged into Ji Lin's right leg.

A strange power flowed through the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass Holy Mark and merged into Ji Lin's right leg. At the same time, a familiar pain came over him. Ji Lin sat cross-legged, calmed his mind, and began to fuse the Holy Mark.

Because of the need to modify the soul bone, the time required to fuse the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass Flower is significantly longer than the time required to fuse the Blazing Apricot Blossom.

As the moon rose the following night, its hazy, cool light bathed the seven-colored poisonous miasma above the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, rendering it the same color. It resembled ethereal clouds, condensed and unyielding.

The phantom of the Ice and Snow Maiden appeared behind Ji Lin, with three red soul rings revolving around her. The aura of extreme ice soared into the sky, and the poisonous miasma formed by the Nine Absolute Flowers of Azure Phosphorus scattered in all directions above the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well Valley, causing the temperature in the entire valley to drop rapidly.

On the other side of the blazing Yangquan, there was a clear sense of suppression, causing the spring water to surge and release bursts of heat, maintaining a certain temperature around the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.

Ji Lin let out a long breath, then slowly calmed his breathing and stood up.

They achieved all their goals at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye. Heavenly Fire Saint Judgment obtained his sixth soul ring, Ice Heaven Snow Maiden obtained her third soul ring, his soul power cultivation level increased to level 65, and he also harvested a bunch of immortal herbs, making it a great harvest.

The Fiery Apricot Blossom provided him with two Soul Skills and one Sacred Mark Skill, while the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass provided him with two Soul Skills, two Soul Bone Skills, and one Sacred Mark Skill. He now has countless skills, but having too many skills and making them too varied is not a good thing, as it creates a lack of system. Ji Lin plans to go back and organize his skills.

Ji Lin looked in the direction of the Fiery Apricot Blossom and the Fragrant Silk Fairy and said, "Ah Jiao, we should go."

Ah Jiao glanced around reluctantly, then looked at the Fragrant and Exquisite Fairy Tale for a moment before saying in silence, "Goodbye, Youyou."

She gently shook the large pink petals and said reluctantly, "Goodbye, Ah Jiao. You must come back to see me when you have time! ┭┮﹏┭┮ Waaah, after you leave, there will be no one to talk to me. I'll probably be very lonely."

As she finished speaking, her voice trembled with tears.

For a chatterbox, it must be incredibly sad to have no one to talk to.

When Gillian heard this, her face darkened, and she quickened her pace. Heaven knows what it was like for her to be harassed by Youyou every day. She would be woken up when she was sleeping soundly, and she would cling to you and chat with you. If you didn't chat with her, she would splash cold spring water on you to bathe you. Didn't you know that she hated cold spring water the most?

The Snow Empress and the Ice Empress exchanged a glance, then transformed into white and green light respectively and returned to Ji Lin's body. A Jiao followed suit, transforming into red light and entering Ji Lin's body.

Ji Lin looked at Youyou and said with a smile, "Goodbye, Youyou. I'll come visit you next time I have the chance."

"Ah! You're here again!" Youyou was startled. She had only come once and had already run away with the Fiery Apricot and the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass, and had also taken away a lot of immortal herbs. Was she going to try and steal her next time?

Ji Lin and Chi Yuan appeared above the seven-colored poisonous miasma, with the silver moon hanging high in the night sky behind them.

Ji Lin's ice wings flapped behind him, and he and Chi Yuan drifted away towards the south of Sunset Forest.

They planned to rest for the night on the outskirts of Sunset Forest and return to Shrek Academy the next day.

Half an hour later, Ji Lin and Chi Yuan set up camp on a hill with a wide view in the southern part of Sunset Forest.

The campfire flickered in the wind, sending up a string of sparks that dissipated into the air. The Sunset Forest, located in the north-central part of the Heavenly Soul Empire, was much colder than the Star Dou Great Forest. Now, being nighttime, the howling wind grew even stronger.

The frequency of sparks flying up is also increasing.

"Clap clap clap—"

The crimson campfire illuminated Ji Lin's face.

Ji Lin asked curiously, "Teacher Chi Yuan, how far are you from that realm?"

Chi Yuan shook her head and said, "The transformation of spiritual power into divine consciousness is not far off, but in this world, due to the restrictions of the rules, it is difficult to break through level 100 without a divine position."

"A divine position?"

Ji Lin fell into deep thought. The number of god positions in the Douluo God Realm was limited, and a certain God King even opposed the proposal of the Destruction God King to expand the number of god positions. Therefore, no one had been able to become a god in the past ten thousand years, because the divine inheritance on the Douluo Continent had been divided up by others ten thousand years ago.

Furthermore, the Douluo God Realm no longer has any more divine positions, so for thousands of years, no matter how talented or gifted you are, without a divine position to inherit, you are destined to turn into a handful of dust.

To become a god, you must first have a relationship with a certain god-king. Only then will he allow the gods of the divine realm to inherit their divine positions in Douluo Continent. Otherwise, you will face certain death.

The God of Destruction did want to expand the God Realm, but unfortunately, he couldn't do it alone, and he had too many traitors around him. For the powerful figures on the Douluo Continent, the God of Destruction's proposal was more beneficial to them, but unfortunately, the God of Destruction ultimately failed.

Instead of hoping for a divine position to fall from the sky, Ji Lin might as well rely on his own cheat system. He had already discovered that his treasure chest system was very strange. Although it was called opening treasure chests, the things that came out were all things that Ji Lin subconsciously wanted.

In his first year after transmigrating, Ji Lin wanted a cheat code, so the Treasure Chest System appeared. He wanted to awaken a powerful martial soul, and then he got the Heavenly Fire Judgment. He wanted to cultivate techniques, and the Treasure Chest System gave him the Void Sword Qi. He wanted the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm to obtain his second martial soul, and he got a Fate Modification Card. He was afraid of the God King's consciousness in Wang Dong'er's mind, so the Treasure Chest System gave him a Consciousness Sealing Card. He didn't want the gods of the Douluo God Realm to observe the Douluo Continent, and he was afraid of being discovered by a certain God King, so the Treasure Chest System gave him a Plane Shielding Card.

Because of Wang Qiu'er, Xue Di, and others, he felt compassion for soul beasts and wanted to ease the relationship between humans and soul beasts, which led to the creation of the Sacred Mark making technology.

Therefore, he had long suspected the true nature of the treasure chest system—whether it was a system, a wish-granting machine, or something else entirely.

Furthermore, after mastering the Stigmata crafting technique, he only obtained one item, and the treasure chest system stopped responding after that. In the past, he would receive a treasure every year, but now he is almost sixteen years old, and the treasure chest system has not responded at all.
