Star Luo City.
Ji Lin, now 12 years old, was cultivating.
A young man, about 1.6 meters tall, with white hair and blue eyes, slender and incomparably handsome, sat cross-legged under a large tree in the courtyard.
Sunlight shone on him, reflecting a faint golden glow, as if he were a god descending to the mortal realm.
Just then, Xu Jiujiu came to Ji Lin’s side.
“Little Lin, the people I sent to watch the White Tiger Dukes Mansion last time reported that a young man, about eleven or twelve years old, left the White Tiger Dukes Mansion, and his direction of travel was the Star Dou Great Forest.” Although Xu Jiujiu didn’t know why Ji Lin was monitoring the White Tiger Dukes Mansion, or why he needed to pay attention to when an eleven or twelve-year-old boy left the Duke’s Mansion.
But she only needed to know that Ji Lin would not harm her, nor would he do anything to endanger the Star Luo Empire; she wouldn’t inquire too much about other matters.
As a princess who had received elite royal education, she was very clear that she couldn’t tie Ji Lin down too tightly, nor pry into every single detail.
She needed to leave Ji Lin enough personal space and freedom, only needing to know that he cared for her.
Otherwise, being too clingy would eventually lead to annoyance.
Hearing Xu Jiujiu’s words, Ji Lin stood up from under the tree and dusted off his clothes.
“Is that so?
It seems I should depart as well.
It’s time to head to Shrek Academy.” “I knew it.
Little Lin, I’ve prepared all your things.” Xu Jiujiu handed Ji Lin a Storage Soul Tool containing enough resources for Ji Lin to cultivate for a year, as well as some daily necessities and several spirit tools.
Ji Lin took it and looked.
Inside were several spirit tools: a Level 4 milk bottle, a charging spirit tool—a type of spirit tool that can replenish spirit power.
It has extremely high material and core requirements, and is stable.
A Level 6 Invincible Barrier.
The Invincible Barrier is a spirit tool developed based on the Paragon Golden Body.
It is a single-use consumable.
The lowest is also a Level 5 spirit tool.
It requires the Sun Moon Empire’s special golden crystal as a medium.
With the injection of the core array, the Invincible Barrier can generate extremely powerful defense from the energy within the yellow crystal.
A Level 5 Invincible Barrier can defend against attacks from Spirit Douluo below eight rings for three seconds.
A Level 6 can withstand a normal Titled Douluo’s attack for three seconds.
Resilient Wall, a Level 6 spirit tool, similar to the Invincible Barrier.
It is activated by a Spirit Master’s spirit power or requires continuous spirit power supply to be cast.
Its defense is slightly lower than the Invincible Barrier, but the Resilient Wall is not a single-use consumable; its defense is trigger-based.
However, once activated, it continuously consumes the Spirit Master’s spirit power.
There was also a flying spirit tool.
The spirit tools Xu Jiujiu prepared for Ji Lin were all defensive and auxiliary; Ji Lin didn’t need offensive spirit tools, as his Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgment of Ultimate Fire was sufficient.
In three years, Ji Lin’s spirit power cultivation reached Level 39.
The eight-thousand-year Purple Sword Bamboo he absorbed three years ago only raised him by one level, and then he spent three years raising it by 8 levels.
Although he had long known that the cultivation speed of Extreme Attribute Spirit Masters from Level 30 to Level 70 was like a crawl.
But Ji Lin, with abundant cultivation resources and Taixu Sword Qi, could only increase by about two and a half levels per year.
Although this speed was not slow compared to other ordinary Spirit Masters.
But one must know that he also had Taixu Sword Qi accelerating his cultivation speed.
And in recent years, Ji Lin had put all his time into cultivating spirit power and was not very keen on learning spirit tools, barely reaching Level 3 Soul Guide.
This was still the Star Luo Empire’s rating; if it were the Sun Moon Empire, he would only be a Level 2 Soul Guide.
But Ji Lin was not anxious.
He was very clear about his positioning: Spirit Master first, spirit tool second.
He didn’t need to be too proficient in spirit tools; understanding and knowing how to use them was enough.
After packing his luggage and bidding farewell to Xu Jiujiu, Ji Lin called for Red Kite, who had been waiting for a long time, and together they left Star Luo City, heading towards the Star Dou Great Forest.
This time, Ji Lin did not let Red Kite fly him; instead, he used a flying spirit tool and flew side by side with Red Kite.
Although he also had the Fire Dragon Wings that could fly, the spirit power consumption of the Fire Dragon Wings was greater than that of the flying spirit 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.
Finally, he made up his mind to use these two cards.
These two cards were treasures Ji Lin had opened from the Treasure Chest System.
He suspected that these were treasures tailor-made for him by the Treasure Chest System.
For him now, they were no less than a timely help, arriving just when he needed them most.
He was originally unsure whether he could achieve his current goal.
But now he was full of confidence.
Because the two cards he had just used, one was a Plane Shield Card.
As the name suggests, using this card can shield the Douluo God Realm’s observation and interference with the Douluo Continent, preventing gods from intervening in the lower realm or establishing contact with it.
This was opened from the eleventh treasure chest.
Without a doubt, this was to guard against that Tang God King.
This card would make the Tang God King think that the plane’s consciousness had actively shielded the connection between the God Realm and the Douluo Plane.
The Tang God King would attribute everything to the plane’s consciousness, and he would not dare to forcefully break this shield, because the God Realm is not yet his absolute domain.
The God King of Destruction, due to their differing opinions, dislikes him and has been watching him closely.
This card came very timely, because Ji Lin didn’t know if the Tang God King was actually watching Huo Yuhao.
After all, Huo Yuhao, the Son of Destiny, seemed to have been targeted by the Tang God King since his birth.
If he came into contact with Huo Yuhao, or stole Huo Yuhao’s opportunities, would the Tang God King see through something?
Moreover, there was that Tang Princess; she had the Tang God King’s divine sense in her spiritual sea.
Now it was good; the plane was shielded, so the Tang God King should not be able to see him.
As for the divine sense on the Tang Princess, he also had a way to deal with it.
As for the second card, it was opened from the twelfth treasure chest, named the Fate Modification Card.
It can modify one’s own or another person’s destiny once.
When Ji Lin just used it, he had already modified his and Huo Yuhao’s destinies.
He had just changed Huo Yuhao’s fate of encountering the Tianmeng Iceworm to Ji Lin encountering the Tianmeng Iceworm.
Everything was ready, all that was needed was the east wind.
Therefore, Ji Lin was not in a hurry to catch up with Huo Yuhao.
He had confidence in the Fate Modification Card opened from the Treasure Chest System; he would definitely encounter the Tianmeng Iceworm.
At the same time, when Ji Lin used the Plane Shield Card.
Douluo God Realm.
A soft halo, like a mother’s hand, gently touched the delicate skin of the clouds.
The illusory space had an unusually moving tangible quality.
Vaguely, not far away, there seemed to be a majestic palace, illusory yet real under the caress of this gentle halo.
A figure stood silently amidst the clouds, gazing into the endless distance, not knowing what he was looking at.
He had a waterfall-like cascade of aquamarine hair, reaching all the way to his feet.
If not for his majestic physique and broad shoulders, looking only from behind, one might mistake him for a woman.
On his luxurious blue robe, water ripples seemed to undulate.
If one looked closely, their gaze would instantly be drawn to the deep azure, and even their entire soul would be absorbed into that profound, endless blue like the ocean.
On his handsome face, which appeared to be only in his twenties, were a pair of deep eyes.
His gaze seemed empty, yet it also seemed to encompass everything, occasionally flashing with a hint of purple, which was even more captivating.
There was a sense of fleeting beauty, of instantaneous life and death, and of profound stillness.
“Hmm?
What’s going on?
Why can’t I see the destiny of the Douluo Continent clearly?” The man frowned, muttering in confusion.
“Has the Douluo Plane’s consciousness shielded my investigation?
Alas—I can’t even contact the divine sense on Xiao Qi anymore.
Thankfully, Da Ming and Er Ming are still on the Douluo Continent.
I hope they can take good care of Xiao Qi.
Recently, Destruction has been watching me very closely, so I can’t make a move, otherwise…
Alas!” Sighing, the man’s expression was melancholic.
It might not seem tempting right now but who knows what the future holds?
“And If you’re enjoying it, drop a Power Stone for me!”
