Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 43, Level 43: Snow Emperor Embryo

As Ji Lin accepted the Conferred God Platform from Xu Jiujiu, he was somewhat moved. Xu Jiawei had high expectations for him, even entrusting him with such a precious 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo. He could also feel Xu Jiujiu's feelings for him.

He believed that Xu Jiawei's decision must have been based on a long-standing relationship.

Holding the Conferred God Platform in his hands, Ji Lin looked earnestly into Xu Jiujiu's eyes and said, "Sister Jiujiu, don't worry, I won't do anything reckless, and I won't let you down."

After putting away the Conferred God Platform, Ji Lin held Xu Jiujiu alone for a while.

After a reluctant farewell to Xu Jiujiu, Chi Yuan led Ji Lin towards the Star Dou Great Forest, their goal this time being the fourth spirit ring.

On the way, Ji Lin had Chi Yuan find a secluded and hidden cave to land in.

Inside the cave, Ji Lin took out the Conferred God Platform, a white tray with a wooden stand on it. It was inlaid with at least a hundred gems of various colors. A wisp of air rippled slightly on this small wooden stand.

This mass of air appeared white, a soft white that didn't convey any sense of power; from the outside, it was just a mass of air. It was difficult to perceive its magic directly through sight.

However, this wisp of air remained condensed and did not disperse, subtly shifting left and right, as if trying to break free of the encirclement. Meanwhile, the wooden support beneath it continuously emitted a layer of pale golden light that enveloped it during its impact, preventing it from breaking through.

Looking at the 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo, Ji Lin entered his spiritual sea and awakened the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, which had been dormant since merging with him.

"Wow! I slept so well, it's been so long since I've felt this relaxed." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm stretched lazily after being woken up.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, he exclaimed excitedly, "Ji Lin, you've broken through to level 40! That's great! We can go awaken your second martial soul now!"

"Let's go to the far north. Your second martial soul is ice-attribute, and the far north is the most suitable place for you. I know a target that is very suitable to become your second martial soul. Your first martial soul is extreme fire, and that target can make your second martial soul become extreme ice."

Just as Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was excitedly talking non-stop, he suddenly seemed to sense something and looked at Ji Lin's spiritual body with a serious expression.

"Ji Lin, who is that person guarding you outside? Such powerful cultivation. She may have already discovered me."

Seeing Tianmeng Bingcan's solemn expression, Ji Lin explained, "Brother Tianmeng, don't worry. The person outside is my teacher. I've already told her about you, and she would never harm us."

Tianmeng Bingcan was relieved, and then said with a smug look, "I didn't expect that Ji Lin, you not only have amazing talent, but also such a powerful backer. With such a strong protector, your chances of becoming a god have increased even more."

Seeing that Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was no longer wary of Chiyuan, Ji Lin finally spoke up: "Brother Tianmeng, I have obtained a 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo. I would like you to help me fuse with it to make it my second martial soul."

Upon hearing this, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm immediately became anxious. Ignoring where Ji Lin got the 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo, she excitedly said, "Ji Lin, what I'm bringing you is an ice-attribute blank martial soul, which can only absorb ice-attribute soul beasts. Moreover, I'm going to take you to find the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, ranked second among the Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North. She has nearly 400,000 years of cultivation and will definitely be of great help to you."

Ji Lin felt a little helpless seeing Tian Meng's anxious look. He knew that Tian Meng liked Bing Di and wanted to help Bing Di this time, since Bing Di was also nearing the end of his life and wouldn't live much longer.

"Brother Tianmeng, don't be anxious. You should have heard of this soul beast embryo in my hand. She is one of the Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North, and she is the number one ranked one. She is also of the ice attribute and has a cultivation of nearly 700,000 years."

"Snow Empress, how is this possible? How could she possibly transform into human form? Moreover, ferocious beasts cannot transform into human form. How could she possibly transform into human form and be sealed within this soul tool?"

Tianmeng Bingcan said with an incredulous look, clearly not believing it.

Seeing that Tianmeng didn't believe him, Ji Lin had no choice but to explain: "She accidentally obtained a 100,000-year-old snow lotus. Relying on the effects of the snow lotus to seal her origin, she was able to barely take human form as a ferocious beast. However, she was unlucky and was discovered by a ninth-level soul master from the Sun Moon Empire. Taking advantage of her weakness, he sealed her into this God-Sealing Platform."

"That level nine soul master sold her to the Star Luo Empire, and then she fell into my hands."

Persuading the Snow Empress requires the help of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm. He fears that if the Snow Empress is released, she might self-destruct, which is quite possible. Therefore, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's remaining energy is needed to control the Snow Empress and buy time for Ji Lin to persuade her.

Ji Lin told Tian Meng her thoughts, but Tian Meng was still hesitant. He still wanted to choose the Ice Emperor, but the Snow Emperor would be of greater help to Ji Lin and would increase Ji Lin's chances of becoming a god.

After hesitating for a while, Tianmeng told Ji Lin his story with Bingdi, and said that he wanted to save Bingdi. If Bingdi died, there would be no point in him living.

Listening to Tianmeng's story, Ji Lin's lips twitched. He really was just like Xu Sanshi, a sycophant. The Ice Emperor clearly saw him as food.

However, to appease Tianmeng, Ji Lin explained, "Brother Tianmeng, there's more to saving Bingdi than just making her my second spirit. She can become my wisdom spirit ring just like you. As long as I convince Xuedi to become my second spirit, with Xuedi around, it will be easy to convince Bingdi to become my wisdom spirit ring."

After hearing Ji Lin's explanation, Tian Meng finally realized, "That's right! As long as I become a Wisdom Soul Ring like him, Ice Emperor can also become a god along with them."

With his successful case, plus Xue Di, Bing Di will definitely agree. He wasn't sure he could persuade Bing Di in the first place, but now that he can persuade Xue Di, Bing Di will come sooner or later.

Having made up her mind, Tianmeng immediately agreed to help Ji Lin persuade Xue Di.

Outside, Ji Lin opened his eyes, while Tian Meng used her mental power to simulate a physical form and appear in the outside world. Chi Yuan was not surprised to see Tian Meng's mental form. Ji Lin had not kept many things from Chi Yuan. It could be said that Chi Yuan was the person in the world who knew his secrets the most, a fact that even Xu Jiujiu could not match.

"Brother Tianmeng, are you ready?"

Ji Lin looked at Tian Meng.

"Don't worry, Ji Lin, leave it to me. I guarantee I'll control Xue Di the moment she appears."

Tianmeng patted his chest and assured him.

Ji Lin nodded as well. He knew that in the original story, Tianmeng had trapped the Ice Emperor with the Remnant. Although the Snow Emperor was stronger than the Ice Emperor, she was now an embryo after her failed transformation and was in a weak period. It would be easy for Tianmeng to control her.
