Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 190 Stigmata Production Techniques

In the bedroom, Ling Luochen's breathing gradually became rapid. When she placed her hands on Ji Lin's chest, tears welling in her eyes, and tried to push Ji Lin away but was too weak to do so, Ji Lin finally let her go.

Ling Luochen gasped for air; she had almost suffocated just now.

As soon as she caught her breath and was about to speak, Ji Lin kissed her red lips again. Ling Luochen grabbed Ji Lin's clothes tightly with both hands, but for various reasons she was powerless to resist and could only be bullied by Ji Lin.

As Ji Lin walked out of Ling Luochen's residence, the sky was gradually darkening. A gentle evening breeze caressed his cheeks. With a smile on his face, Ji Lin left Seagod Island and returned to his dormitory, feeling refreshed.

Ling Luochen was so weak from being bullied by Ji Lin that Ji Lin noticed her clothes were soaked with sweat and very considerately carried her into the bathroom to give her a bath.

If Ji Lin hadn't been so considerate in helping her bathe and change, Ling Luochen would definitely have caught a cold the next morning. Speaking of which, Sister Luochen should really thank him. I've decided that next time I see Sister Luochen, I'll reluctantly accept some payment.

If Ling Luochen knew what Ji Lin was thinking, he would probably be very happy to use the Ice Explosion Technique he had just acquired to thank Ji Lin properly.

Ji Lin came to the inner courtyard but couldn't find Ma Xiaotao. He heard from Ling Luochen that Ma Xiaotao was in seclusion, probably trying to break through to the Soul Saint realm. Only by breaking through to the Soul Saint realm could Ma Xiaotao be confident in absorbing the 100,000-year-old gilded fire phoenix left arm bone. Only a top-tier beast spirit master like Ma Xiaotao could do that. Ordinary spirit masters would only dare to absorb a 100,000-year-old spirit bone if they reached at least the Soul Douluo realm.

Ji Lin originally wanted to find Zhang Lexuan, but unfortunately, Zhang Lexuan led a team out to hunt souls, and just missed Ji Lin coming out of seclusion.

After returning to his dormitory, Ji Lin pulled Wang Qiu'er aside and began cultivating. He was already at level 49 and wanted to break through to level 50 as soon as possible. He had promised Tianmeng Ice Silkworm that he would go to find the Ice Emperor after breaking through to the Soul King realm. With Ji Lin's current physical attributes and the vitality of the Life Gold, Ji Lin's fifth soul ring could absorb at least an 80,000-year soul ring. If he could obtain the Ice Emperor's soul ring and soul bone first, his Heavenly Fire Judgment fifth soul ring might be able to directly be attached with a 100,000-year soul ring.

Before the Inner Academy assessment, Bei Bei finally went to Tian Dou City, the capital of the Heavenly Soul Empire, to look for Tang Ya. However, he did not receive any news about Tang Ya; it was as if she had vanished into thin air.

This was a huge blow to Bei Bei. After returning from that incident, he devoted all his energy to cultivation, desperately trying to improve his strength to numb himself. The smile on Bei Bei's face never appeared again after Tang Ya's disappearance, and his originally refined temperament was now tinged with melancholy.

For the next three months, Ji Lin immersed himself in cultivation, attending classes to study theory, and spending time with Wang Qiu'er, Ling Luochen, and Zhang Lexuan, who had led the Soul Hunting Team back. As for the Inner Academy assessment, there was no time limit; you had to submit an application before the assessment would begin. Bei Bei and the others hadn't even started their assessments yet.

Ji Lin decided to break through to the Soul King level and participate in the Inner Academy assessment after returning from the far north. Wang Qiu'er wanted to wait for Ji Lin to join her. Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er also cultivated diligently, as they wanted to reach the standard for participating in the Inner Academy assessment as soon as possible. They did not want to fall too far behind Ji Lin and Wang Qiu'er.

Just as Ji Lin broke through to level 50, something he found in the treasure chest interrupted his plans.

Within Ji Lin's spiritual sea.

For the first time, Ji Lin actively awakened Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, Snow Emperor, and Ilex. Above the emerald green ocean, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm excitedly said, "Ji Lin, you have already broken through to the Soul King realm. Did you awaken us this time to prepare to go to the far north to find the Ice Emperor? With your current physical condition, you are indeed ready to fuse with the Ice Emperor."

Even the Snow Empress had a hint of anticipation in her eyes, clearly looking forward to the Ice Empress's joining.

Electrolux chuckled and said, "Big Bug, Little Snow Maiden, and Little Ji Lin have all awakened me as well, so it's obviously not as simple as just preparing to go to the far north to find the Ice Emperor."

Ji Lin laughed and said, "As expected of Elder Yi, he could even see that."

Tianmeng Bingcan asked in surprise, "Oh! Besides preparing to go find Bingbing, Ji Lin, is there anything else you want to tell us?"

Ji Lin didn't speak again, but used his mental power to share a memory from his mind with Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, Snow Emperor, and Ilex.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, Snow Emperor, and Ilex fell silent for a moment, clearly all browsing through Ji Lin's past memories.

Time passed slowly.

Electrolux was the first to read through Ji Lin's shared memories and exclaimed, "What amazing knowledge! This is a field I've never been to before. The person who invented this technology is a true genius."

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Snow Emperor also came to their senses. Tianmeng exclaimed in shock, "What is this?! Saint Mark making technology! If we had had this earlier, the Soul Beast race wouldn't have fallen to this state. Ji Lin, where did you find this? I've never heard of such a method before! If word gets out, both humans and Soul Beasts will go crazy. With this, both humans and Soul Beasts will have new hope!"

Xue Di looked at Ji Lin with surprise in her eyes and said, "You are not only my hope, but also the hope of the entire soul beast race. With this holy mark making technology, the conflict between soul beasts and humans can be alleviated, or even the fundamental conflict between humans and soul beasts can be resolved."

That's right, what Ji Lin got from opening the treasure chest was a memory containing the technology for making Holy Marks.

Ji Lin smiled and said, "This is knowledge from another world that I obtained by chance. I hope that Elder Yi and you can transform it into technology suitable for our Douluo Continent."

For the next month or so, Ji Lin did not go to the far north to find the Ice Emperor, nor did he try to obtain his fifth spirit ring, nor did he intend to participate in the inner court assessment. He devoted himself entirely to the creation of the Holy Mark, immersing himself in his spiritual sea every day to discuss and research how to modify the Holy Mark creation technique with Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, Snow Emperor, and Ilex. The original Holy Mark creation technique was not well adapted to the rules of Douluo Continent, but after modifications by Ilex, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, and Snow Emperor, the Holy Mark creation technique gradually became conform to the rules of Douluo Continent.

Electrox, a necromancer from another world, a human who gave up becoming a god.

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, a million-year-old soul beast, independently developed a god-making plan.

The Snow Emperor, the leader of the three kings in the far north, is a being who has lived for hundreds of thousands of years and possesses a wealth of knowledge.

With the help of Ji Lin's occasional suggestions, the three of them modified the original Sacred Mark making technique to create a new Sacred Mark making technique suitable for use in Douluo Continent.
