Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 193 Word Magic

With Chi Yuan, this human nuclear bomb, guarding the Zizai Sect, Ji Lin is confident in protecting those he cares about, no matter how turbulent the situation on the mainland may become in the future. Moreover, now that he has the technology to create Sacred Marks, the Zizai Sect will no longer be troubled by money by selling artificial Sacred Marks. Although the Zizai Sect has never been troubled by money, after all, they have a princess and a rich woman around.

But no one would complain about having too much money. Ji Lin plans to sell artificial holy marks as a specialty of the Free Gate. The price won't be too outrageous. Of course, the higher the level of the artificial holy mark, the more expensive it will be. After all, the higher the level of the artificial holy mark, the more difficult it is to make, and the production cost increases exponentially.

Compared to risking your life to hunt soul beasts, buying artificial holy marks with gold soul coins is much more convenient and cost-effective.

Moreover, if you buy artificial Holy Marks, your descendants may awaken innate Holy Marks, or even innate perfect Holy Marks, which is something that hunting Soul Beasts to obtain Soul Rings cannot compare to.

Therefore, once artificial holy marks become widespread, the human behavior of hunting soul beasts will decrease significantly. However, if it is only for the purpose of obtaining soul bones, then it is a different story.

After all, only the Perfect Holy Mark can provide Soul Bones, and Ji Lin decided not to sell the Perfect Holy Mark to outsiders, nor to reveal it to others, but to keep it as an exclusive inheritance of the Free Gate.

Inside the Zizaimen base, Ji Lin felt completely safe under Chi Yuan's protection. He held the Saint Mark Crystal in both hands, wrapped it with his soul power, and began to fuse and refine this million-year-old Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm Saint Mark.

With the help of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, the golden holy mark crystal floated between Ji Lin's eyebrows and slowly merged into Ji Lin's head. The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm and Ji Lin had discussed that he would integrate this holy mark into Ji Lin's head to facilitate the modification of Ji Lin's skull, transforming Ji Lin's skull into a million-year-old Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm head soul bone. The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm possesses both spiritual and ice attributes, making a head soul bone the most suitable.

Of the six parts of the soul bone, the head soul bone is second only to the torso bone. Ji Lin already has the Snow Emperor's torso bone, so Tianmeng is modifying his head.

The power of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm began to envelop Ji Lin's brain through the Holy Mark, and a cool sensation filled Ji Lin's mind.

But the cool sensation quickly turned into a sharp pain. "Ugh!" Ji Lin groaned, clutching his head tightly with both hands.

Seeing Ji Lin collapse to the ground in pain, his head radiating golden light, Chi Yuan knew that he had begun to fuse with the Holy Mark. There was nothing she could do to help Ji Lin with this. All she could do was to be vigilant and keep watch on her surroundings. All she could do was prevent outsiders from interfering with Ji Lin.

As for the pain of fusing with the Holy Mark and modifying the Soul Bone, Ji Lin had to bear it all by himself.

Ji Lin clutched his head and curled up on the ground. He felt that modifying his head soul bone was even more painful than when he fused with the Snow Emperor's torso bone.

However, he is much stronger now than when he fused with the Snow Emperor's torso bones, and his mental strength is also different from before.

Ji Lin only felt his skull being crushed by a force, but it quickly recovered with the help of another force. One of these forces was the original power of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, which was reshaping Ji Lin's skull, and the other was the life force of the Life Gold, which was protecting and repairing Ji Lin's head.

The two forces formed a cycle: one destroys and transforms, the other repairs.

During this process, Ji Lin endured immense pain, but his powerful mental strength prevented him from easily falling into a coma. He also did not want to fall into a coma, so he endured the pain and cooperated with the transformation and fusion of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm. Originally, the transformation of the soul bone with the perfect holy mark could have been done gradually without enduring such pain, but that would have taken several years. Ji Lin could not wait that long. Anyway, he had the Gold of Life and did not need to worry about any danger to his life.

So he discussed with Tianmeng and decided to go all the way and modify the head soul bone when fusing the holy mark.

Time passed slowly, and the sky outside gradually darkened.

Finally, when the last wisp of golden light from Ji Lin's head dissipated, the fusion was complete, and his skull was transformed into the million-year-old Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm Soul Bone.

Ji Lin staggered to his feet, sat back down on the sofa, and then collapsed onto it.

Ji Lin closed his eyes and carefully sensed his current situation. Although his body and mind were very tired, he felt that his mental power was more active than ever before. He felt that his mental power was as deep as the abyss and as vast as the underworld, reaching the highest heaven and the deepest hell. Wherever his thoughts went, all things returned to his heart. Of course, this was an illusion after his mental power had greatly increased.

From Chi Yuan's perspective, the spiritual energy fluctuations on Ji Lin's body seemed to have taken shape and could be observed. It should be noted that the spiritual energy of ordinary soul masters is intangible and without substance, but Ji Lin's spiritual energy is already tangible and without substance. This is a realm that even titled Douluo cannot reach. At least Xuan Lao's spiritual energy has not reached this level. In terms of the quality of spiritual energy alone, Ji Lin has surpassed most titled Douluo, only lacking in quantity.

This is one of the benefits that the million-year-old holy mark of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm brought to Ji Lin.

The million-year-old soul bone also provided Ji Lin with four spirit-type soul skills, including Spirit Detection, which has powerful reconnaissance and detection capabilities, and the detection range increases with the increase of strength.

Mental sharing allows you to share mental detection with your companions; the range of this sharing increases as your strength grows.

Mental interference can disrupt life forms with mental fluctuations within a radius centered on Ji Lin's body.

Soul Impact inflicts mental damage on the enemy.

These four skills are useful to Ji Lin, but not that useful.

On the contrary, the million-year-old holy mark itself was more useful for Ji Lin's enhancement. The effect of the holy mark of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm was to enhance the host's mental power and soul power. Although the mental power and soul power enhanced by the million-year-old holy mark were very powerful, Ji Lin felt that the total amount of soul power in his body was at least more than double that before he fused with the holy mark.

But none of that is the most important thing. The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm Holy Mark provides him with a Holy Mark Skill, which is the most powerful.

The art of verbal manipulation involves controlling the actions of others through language, exercising both mental and physical control.

With Ji Lin's current mental strength, he can influence even ordinary Title Douluos, and Soul Saints can be completely dominated by him.

This is the strongest skill that the Million-Year Holy Mark has provided him; it can not only control the opponent's mind, but also issue commands to the opponent's body beyond the opponent's mind.

Even if the other party realizes that their body is being manipulated, they cannot resist.

This Stigmata skill is an absolute god-tier skill for those with strong mental power.

Given Ji Lin's Soul King level, Soul Saints would have no power to resist him, and might even be manipulated and used by him.

Ji Lin stroked his chin thoughtfully and said, "This Saint Mark Technique... it feels a bit evil, especially against women. It's very unfriendly! For the sake of my reputation, I should use it sparingly."
