Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 21 Dimensional Shielding

Star City

Twelve-year-old Ji Lin was cultivating. A tall, handsome boy with white hair and blue eyes, about 12 meters tall, sat cross-legged under a large tree in the courtyard. Sunlight shone on him, reflecting a faint golden light, making him look like a god descending to earth.

Just then, Xu Jiujiu arrived beside Ji Lin.

"Xiao Lin, the people you asked me to send to keep an eye on the White Tiger Duke's Mansion have returned and reported that an eleven or twelve-year-old boy left the White Tiger Duke's Mansion and was heading towards the Star Dou Great Forest."

Although he didn't know for a long time why Ji Lin was staring at the White Tiger Duke's mansion, or why he was paying attention to when an eleven or twelve-year-old boy would leave the mansion.

But all she needed to know was that Ji Lin wouldn't harm her or do anything to endanger the Star Luo Empire; she wouldn't ask too many questions about anything else.

As a princess who received an elite royal education, she knew very well that she couldn't keep Ji Lin too tightly under her wing and insist on getting to the bottom of everything.

To give Ji Lin enough private space and freedom, all you need to know is that Ji Lin has her in his heart.

Otherwise, being too clingy will eventually annoy people.

Hearing Xu Jiujiu's words, Ji Lin stood up from under the tree and dusted himself off.

"Is that so? It seems I should set off too. It's time to head to Shrek Academy."

"I knew it, Xiao Lin, I've prepared everything for you."

Xu Jiujiu handed Ji Lin a storage soul tool containing enough resources for Ji Lin's cultivation for a year, as well as some daily necessities and several other soul tools.

Ji Lin took the items and examined them. Inside were several soul tools: a level four healing bottle, a rechargeable soul tool (a type of soul tool that can replenish soul power), and a stable one. These had extremely high requirements for materials and core components.

Level 6 Invincible Shield: An invincible shield developed based on the Invincible Golden Body. It's a one-time consumable. The minimum level is Level 5. It requires the golden crystal, a specialty of the Sun Moon Empire, as a medium. With the infusion of energy from the core formation, the invincible shield can generate extremely powerful defense from the energy within the golden crystal. A Level 5 invincible shield can withstand attacks from an 8th-ring Soul Douluo or lower for three seconds. A Level 6 shield can withstand attacks from an ordinary Title Douluo for three seconds.

The Resilient Wall, a level six soul tool, is similar to the Invincible Shield. It is activated by the soul master's soul power or by continuously providing soul power. Its defensive power is slightly lower than the Invincible Shield, but the Resilient Wall is not a one-time consumable; its defense is triggered. However, once activated, it continuously consumes the soul master's soul power.

There is also a flying soul tool.

Xu Jiujiu prepared defensive and supportive soul tools for Ji Lin. Ji Lin didn't need offensive soul tools; he had the Heavenly Judgment of Ultimate Fire, which was enough for him.

In three years, Ji Lin's soul power cultivation reached level 39. The eight thousand-year-old purple sword bamboo he absorbed three years ago only allowed him to level up by one level. Then, he spent three years leveling up by eight levels.

Although I already knew that the cultivation speed of a Soul Master with ultimate attributes from level 30 to 70 was as slow as a tortoise crawl.

Even with ample cultivation resources and the Taixu Sword Qi, Ji Lin could only advance about two and a half levels in a year, although this speed was not slow compared to other ordinary soul masters.

But you should know that he also has the Taixu Sword Qi to accelerate his cultivation speed.

In recent years, Ji Lin has devoted all his time to cultivating his soul power and has not paid much attention to learning about soul tools. He has barely reached the level of a third-level soul master, which is still the rating of the Star Luo Empire. If it were the Sun Moon Empire, he would only be a second-level soul master.

But Ji Lin was not in a hurry.

He was very clear about his own position: a Soul Master as the main focus, with Soul Tools as a secondary function. He didn't need to be too proficient in Soul Tools; he just needed to understand and learn how to use them.

After packing their belongings and saying goodbye for a long time, Ji Lin called on Chi Yuan, who had been waiting for a long time, and together they left Xingluo City for the Star Dou Great Forest.

This time, Ji Lin did not have Chi Yuan carry him, but instead used a flying soul tool to fly side by side with Chi Yuan.

Although he also has fire dragon wings that allow him to fly, the soul power of the fire dragon wings is consumed by the flying soul tool.

On the way, Ji Lin took out two cards from his storage soul tool and played with them in his hand, hesitating whether to use them or not. In the end, he made up his mind to use the two cards.

These two cards are treasures that Ji Lin obtained from the treasure chest system.

He suspected that this treasure chest system had tailor-made it for him, and it was like sending charcoal in snowy weather—it came at the perfect time.

He was initially unsure whether he could achieve his goal.

But now he is full of confidence.

Because of the two cards he just used, one of them was a dimensional shielding card. As the name suggests, using this card can shield the Douluo God Realm from observing and interfering with the Douluo Continent, preventing the gods from interfering with the lower realm and from contacting it.

This was obtained from the eleventh treasure chest, and without a doubt, it was intended to guard against that Tang God King.

This card will make Tang Shenwang think that the consciousness of the plane has actively blocked the connection between the God Realm and the Douluo plane.

Tang Shenwang would blame everything on the consciousness of the plane, and he didn't dare to forcibly break through this barrier because the God Realm was not yet his domain. The Destruction God King disliked him because of their differences of opinion and was keeping an eye on him.

This card came at just the right time, because Ji Lin didn't know whether Tang Shenwang was keeping an eye on Huo Yuhao. After all, it seemed that Tang Shenwang had been watching Huo Yuhao ever since he was born.

If he were to contact Huo Yuhao or steal Huo Yuhao's opportunity, would Tang Shenwang notice something?

Moreover, there's that Tang princess; her spiritual sea contains the divine consciousness of the Tang God-King.

Now that the dimension is blocked, Tang Shenwang should be able to see him.

As for the divine consciousness within Princess Tang, he also had a way to deal with it.

As for the second card, it was obtained from the twelfth treasure chest and is called the Fate Modification Card.

It can change one's own or someone else's fate once.

Ji Lin had already altered his and Huo Yuhao's fates when he first used it.

He just changed Huo Yuhao's fate of encountering Tianmeng Ice Silkworm to Ji Lin's fate of encountering Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.

All is ready except for the opportunity.

Therefore, Ji Lin was not in a hurry to catch up with Huo Yuhao. He was confident in the Fate Modification Card that the treasure chest system had opened, and he was bound to encounter Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.

At the same time, Ji Lin used the dimensional shielding card.

Douluo God Realm.

The soft glow, like a mother's hand, gently caressed the delicate skin of the clouds, giving the ethereal space an exceptionally moving sense of reality. In the distance, faintly visible, seemed to be a majestic palace, both illusory and real under the touch of this gentle light.

A figure stood quietly amidst the clouds, gazing into the endless distance, seemingly looking at something.

He had long, cascading blue hair that reached his feet. If it weren't for his imposing figure and broad shoulders, one might mistake him for a woman just by looking at him from behind.

The magnificent blue robe seemed to ripple with water. If you looked closely, your eyes would be instantly drawn to the deep blue, and your soul would be sucked into the deep, endless blue of the sea.

His handsome face, which appeared to be only in his early twenties, was framed by a pair of deep, penetrating eyes. His gaze seemed empty, yet all-encompassing, occasionally flashing with a hint of purple that was truly captivating. It possessed a quality reminiscent of fleeting beauty and instantaneous death.

"Huh? What's going on? Why can't I see the fate of Douluo Continent anymore?"

The man frowned and muttered to himself in confusion.

"Did the consciousness of the Douluo plane block my detection? Sigh—I can't even contact Xiao Qi's divine sense anymore. Fortunately, Da Ming and Er Ming are still in Douluo Continent. I hope they can take good care of Xiao Qi. Recently, Destruction has been watching me very closely, so I can't take action. Otherwise... Sigh!"

The man sighed, his expression melancholy.
