Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 427 The Shores of the South China Sea

Moreover, it allows Wang Dong'er and the others to participate, treating it as a training experience.

Real combat can indeed help Wang Dong'er and the others grow faster, especially Ye Guyi. This time, when she goes to rescue the hostages, she will definitely face the evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Cult. Those evil soul masters are great supplements for Ye Guyi's cultivation! Killing an evil soul master can save her a month of hard training. Perhaps Ye Guyi will break through to the Title Douluo level before Ji Lin.

Having made the decision to get involved, Ji Lin began to consider who he should bring along this time.

He and Chi Yuan definitely have to go; they're the backup. Then there's Ye Guyi; she'll be indispensable in the fight against the evil spirit masters. After that, there's Wang Qiu'er, Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, Nan Qiuqiu, and we also have to add Ling Luochen.

There were eight people in total, but this time Gu Yuena had no intention of following them. She wasn't interested in rescuing the hostages; she'd rather stay at the Zizai Gate and read a few more novels.

The only thing that bothered her was that Bai Xiuxiu couldn't go too far away from Ji Lin, otherwise she would return directly to the Holy Mark Space.

Early the next morning, Xu Jiujiu led the disciples of Zizai Sect to see off Ji Lin and his group of eight. The rescue team sent by the Star Luo Empire, led by a Grand Douluo, had already set off before Ji Lin and his group.

In this rescue operation, the various empires tacitly dispatched two teams, one overt and one covert. The place where the Sun Moon Empire was holding the contestants must have been a den of dragons and tigers, and even if they were foolish, they wouldn't just rush in. So, one team would openly attract attention while the other team went to the rescue covertly.

As for why the major empires don't unite but instead send their own forces, it's simply because they can't trust each other. Although they have the Sun and Moon Empire as a common enemy, the three major empires were originally enemies. Although there was no open conflict, there were many behind-the-scenes battles.

Moreover, given the historical ties between the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Fighting Spirit Empire, how could they possibly trust each other?

It's good enough if they don't stab each other in the back during an operation; how could there possibly be any cooperation? It's better to just act independently.

The flying soul tools on Ji Lin and the others were all replaced with level seven soul tools, which were the most advanced soul tools. Even in the Sun Moon Empire, they were the top level seven soul tools, combining speed, agility, and defense. Moreover, they were tailor-made for Ji Lin and the others.

These flying soul tools were made by an eighth-level soul master sent by Jing Hongchen. Jing Hongchen not only sent a soul master, but also provided Zizai Sect with a lot of soul tool information. This was all top-secret information of Mingde Hall. Although it was not core information, it was still information that could not be easily leaked. This information allowed Zizai Sect's soul tool hall to grow rapidly. In addition, Ji Lin also specially sent a high-level soul master from the Sun Moon Empire to teach the soul tool hall, and Zizai Sect's soul masters grew rapidly.

There are also Soul Masters in the Freedom Sect. They are disciples who were not satisfied with their talent as Soul Masters and ultimately chose to develop their Soul Tools.

Ji Lin didn't want the Free Sect to be eliminated by the times like the future Body Sect, so he started training Soul Masters early on.

Taking flight, Ji Lin's level-seven flying soul tool was already deployed on his back. This custom-made soul tool was truly exceptional. Its appearance was somewhat peculiar, resembling butterfly wings. Both pairs of wings had jet nozzles, a total of twelve, six on the top and six on the bottom, but they were not on the same plane. When all twelve jet nozzles fired simultaneously, the speed could be increased to its maximum.

Soon, the group soared into the sky at an altitude of several thousand meters. At this height, it was difficult to see clearly from below. With the eyesight of an average person, they would at most only see birds flying by.

Once a flying soul tool reaches level seven, it will release a soul tool shield to protect the user. This soul tool shield is also specially treated, not only having the defensive power equivalent to a level six soul tool shield, but also being streamlined to reduce wind resistance in the air as much as possible.

Of course, using a soul tool of this level consumes a considerable amount of soul power, but the weakest among them are all Soul Emperors, and with the sealed milk bottle technology provided by Jing Hongchen, it is enough for them to fly for a long time.

This sealed baby bottle was developed by an eighth-level Soul Master from Mingde Hall. It can store Soul Power without leakage and is mainly used to charge other Soul Tools.

This level eight Soul Master is currently helping Ji Lin with research in Star Luo City. His name is Xuan Ziwen. He has an eccentric personality, is meticulous in his work, and is extremely passionate about researching Soul Tools. Although he does not belong to any faction and is not a confidant of Jing Hongchen, he is a true genius. If it weren't for his cultivation level holding him back, he would have been a level nine Soul Master long ago.

Ji Lin was introduced by Jing Hongchen and attracted the other party with the blueprints in his hand. He eventually persuaded the other party to come to Xingluo City to serve him. The other party even joined Zizai Sect and served as the head of the Soul Guidance Hall. If he hadn't been busy with research, it wouldn't have been the turn of other Soul Guidance Masters to teach the Soul Guidance Hall's Soul Guidance Master disciples.

Ji Lin prepared a magical herb for Xuan Ziwen to enhance his cultivation. If his cultivation breaks through to the Title Douluo level, he will immediately become a level nine Soul Master, belonging to the Zizai Sect.

Unfortunately, Xuan Ziwen was so engrossed in his research that he had no intention of stopping. He wouldn't take the immortal herb to go into seclusion until he had made some progress.

It's better to kill a research fanatic like him than to make him put down his new knowledge and obediently go into seclusion to cultivate his skills.

He was unwilling to step out of the research lab until he understood the new knowledge. He ate, drank, and rested entirely in the research lab. There were a few other soul masters like him, but none of them were as fanatical as him, almost to the point of obsession.

Watching the scenery rush by beneath her feet, Nan Qiuqiu occasionally let out excited shouts. With the soul guide shield protecting her, she wasn't afraid of the headwind blowing in her face.

Ji Lin and the others left Silla City and flew south.

The flight speed of the level seven flying soul tool was simply too fast. As it continued to fly south, the temperature gradually rose.

They set off in the morning and didn't land until noon to rest.

While eating and drinking, everyone replaced a batch of sealed milk bottles on their flying soul tools. These sealed milk bottles were incredibly convenient; although they had been flying for several hours, their soul power had hardly been depleted.

The group rested under the trees, enjoying the warmth of the south and closing their eyes to relax.

After resting for an hour, they set off again, avoiding the cities of the Star Luo Empire and choosing to fly through open fields and farmlands.

With the continuous development of soul tools, the three kingdoms of the Douluo Continent have begun to pay more and more attention to them, especially aerial reconnaissance. Almost every city has an aerial detection soul tool. Ji Lin didn't want to be called down for questioning every time he passed through a city, that would be too troublesome, so he decided to just bypass it.

And so, Ji Lin led the group in flight for a full six hours, until the sky gradually darkened, at which point they reduced their speed and prepared to land.

It shouldn't have taken this long, but they were taking detours around the city, which added a little extra time, but it's not a big deal.

Just as everyone was descending, Nan Qiuqiu suddenly exclaimed, "Look, what's that over there?"

Everyone instinctively looked ahead and gazed into the distance, their hearts filled with awe.

It was a golden world, with countless dazzling golden lights shining at the horizon, and the sun slowly setting amidst this brilliance.

Ji Lin smiled faintly and said, "That's the sea, what's there to be surprised about! When the sun sets, the sunlight reflects on the sea, and that's what it looks like."

Although Ji Lin had seen many such sights, it was truly awe-inspiring for Nan Qiuqiu and Xiaoxiao, who had never seen the sea before.

Ye Guyi gazed into the distance, her eyes also filled with a dreamy look. "The sunset over the sea is so beautiful..."

Although she had seen this scene while traveling across the continent, she couldn't help but be captivated by it every time she saw it.

Indeed, Ji Lin and the others had arrived at the seaside, or more precisely, the South China Sea coast of the Star Luo Empire. After a six-hour flight, they had finally reached the South China Sea coast of the Star Luo Empire.

Led by Ji Lin, they bypassed all the cities and took many detours, but finally arrived here before sunset.

Ji Lin prepared to lead everyone out to sea, then fly west along the coastline, and detour through the sea to enter the territory of the Sun Moon Empire.

Given the current situation on the mainland, the border of the Sun Moon Empire is probably completely covered by detection soul tools. It would be very difficult to cross the border directly without being detected. Moreover, Ji Lin and his group are on the secret route, which is one of the two routes, one overt and one covert. They cannot be discovered by the Sun Moon Empire, otherwise what would be the point of calling it a secret route? On the other hand, other teams will enter the Sun Moon Empire from the border to attract attention.

Ji Lin laughed and said, "Alright, we can rest now that we've reached the beach. We'll catch some seafood tonight."

After a long day, the allure of food far surpasses anything else. Upon hearing this, the group's flight speed noticeably increased, and they flew towards the shimmering sea like fledglings returning to their nests.

The saying "Looking at a mountain makes your horse run itself to death" is indeed very true. From the time they saw the coastline to when they flew to the beach, it took them another half an hour. By the time they landed on the beach, it was completely dark.

"Guyi, come with me to catch fish and lobsters. We'll have a seafood feast tonight."

Ji Lin waved to Ye Guyi.

"Why me?" Ye Guyi asked curiously.

"Because you can provide me with light! Fish all love places with light."

"You're using my Holy Angel Martial Soul as a light source?!" Ye Guyi rolled her eyes at Ji Lin, annoyed.

"If you don't want to, Dong'er can come with me. Her Light Goddess Butterfly can also emit light."

Ji Lin looked at Wang Dong'er.

Wang Dong'er quickly shook her head in refusal; she had no desire to be a lighting fixture!

Finally, tempted by the delicious food, Ye Guyi pouted and reluctantly released her Angelic Martial Soul, following Ji Lin as they flew towards the sea.
