Douluo Dalu: Start with a Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgement

Chapter 410 Everything is ready
Chi Yuan's imposing pressure only lasted half a minute, but for Jing Hongchen, this half minute seemed like a century. He stood up with trembling legs, looked at Chi Yuan, and said in a trembling voice, "Who is this?"

Ji Lin did not answer, but asked: "I wonder how my teacher compares to Dragon God Douluo, and how he compares to the Holy Spirit Church's Dragon Emperor Douluo in the eyes of the Red Dust Hall Master."

Jing Hongchen was silent for a moment, then said in a hoarse voice: "Stronger than them all, the strongest existence I have ever seen. Even the Evil Emperor, ranked second among the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts, could not give me such a strong sense of oppression. Is this your confidence?"

Ji Lin stretched out his index finger and shook it, "No, no, no, Teacher Chi Yuan is indeed my trump card, but this is not all."

Jing Hongchen was not surprised. Indeed, Chi Yuan was very strong, but he was just a strong man, not a god. It was impossible for him to defeat the Sun and Moon Empire head-on. If this was Ji Lin's confidence, Jing Hongchen was a little disappointed.

Ji Lin continued, "I think Master Hongchen should have heard of the Holy Scar and the Liyue Chamber of Commerce."

Jing Hongchen nodded and said, "Of course I know this. I also know that your Zizai Sect has a place in the Liyue Chamber of Commerce."

Of course, this is what Meng Hongchen told him.

Ji Lin was not surprised. After all, this was what he had asked Meng Hongchen to reveal to Jing Hongchen. He smiled and said, "Then you probably don't know that I was the one who took out the Stigmata and promoted the establishment of the Liyue Chamber of Commerce."

Jing Hongchen was extremely stunned. He turned around and looked at Meng Hongchen, stunned.

Meng Hongchen's pretty face turned red, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at Jing Hongchen.

Jing Hongchen opened his mouth, and a thousand horses were galloping through his heart. Meng Hongchen had kept such an important matter secret from him and only revealed some harmless news to him.

This is truly my granddaughter!

Xiao Hongchen was holding back his laughter, his shoulders shaking. His grandfather finally understood how he felt and let him experience the horror of a love-brain.

Ji Lin ignored Jing Hongchen's surprise and continued, "Using the stigma as an opportunity, I have reached a consensus with the fierce beasts of the Xingdou Great Forest. They are now my allies and can help us at critical moments."

Jing Hongchen frowned slightly and analyzed: "With the effect of the holy scar, it is indeed possible to attract fierce beasts. This is indeed a great help, but can fierce beasts really be trusted? It is too risky to put the chips on them."

Ji Lin nodded. Although the fierce beasts and Zizaimen were cooperating happily now, if Ji Lin really exposed his purpose, would the fierce beasts really support him? An empire that unified Douluo Continent was too powerful, and the threat to the soul beast clan was far greater than the current four empires. It was very likely that they would just sit on the sidelines and not intervene in the human civil war.

Of course, this depends on Gu Yuena's choice. If Ji Lin can convince Gu Yuena, then the ferocious beast will be a reliable ally.

But Jing Hongchen didn't know this, so it was normal for him to worry. This also meant that Jing Hongchen had begun to put his position on Ji Lin's side, which was a good thing.

Ji Lin smiled mysteriously and took out a blueprint from the storage soul guide.

"Master Hongchen, the fierce beast and Teacher Chiyuan are just one of my trump cards. This is what I really rely on."

Ji Lin handed the drawing to Jing Hongchen. Jing Hongchen took the drawing with confusion, lowered his head and looked at it. His expression froze instantly.

As a leader among the ninth-level soul engineers, he could tell at a glance that this was a design drawing, but only a small part of the complete design drawing. However, even the things on this small part of the drawing were enough to make him dumbfounded.

"This is this?!"

Jing Hongchen's hands were shaking as he stroked the lines on the blueprint obsessively. He was extremely excited. Compared with the humanoid soul guides and mecha prototypes that their Mingdetang was researching, the things on the blueprint were even more shocking. Compared with this thing, mechas were far inferior!
Seeing Jing Hongchen's performance, Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen also came forward curiously. Soon, accompanied by two exclamations, there were three people who were obsessed with the drawings.

Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen are now both level seven soul masters. In terms of insight and soul master knowledge, they are even better than the level eight soul masters of the Xingluo Empire. Of course, they can see how shocking the things on the blueprint are. If they are really made, Ji Lin can really rely on them to sweep the continent, and even the current Sun and Moon Empire will not be able to resist.

Jing Hongchen tightly grasped the blueprint in his hand. He finally understood where Ji Lin's confidence came from. If he had such a thing, he would also have inappropriate thoughts, let alone Ji Lin, who was young, frivolous and extremely talented.

Jing Hongchen's heartbeat quickened and his mind raced. Ji Lin had this thing. If he could make it, even if it was a weakened version, it would help him sweep the world and unify the universe.

If his Hongchen family could join in, coupled with the relationship between Meng Hongchen and Ji Lin, he saw the possibility of the Hongchen family's strength expanding rapidly. He also saw that a new and powerful empire was like a new sprout breaking through the ground, absorbing nutrients and growing vigorously.

What he has to do now is to provide this new empire with the nutrients it needs. When the seedling grows into a towering tree, it will not only be able to shelter his Hongchen family from wind and rain, but he can even follow this tree and touch the distant sky.

Jing Hongchen looked at Ji Lin and said in a deep voice: "What do you want me to do?" Ji Lin was delighted, he knew that it was done.

The original plan was to take advantage of the chaos in Mingdu to kidnap several senior soul masters, but when they arrived in Mingdu, they found that it was not difficult to find senior soul masters, but the difficult part was to convince them to work for Ji Lin. Although the new knowledge could make many soul masters abandon their country, most of them were still patriotic.

They may not necessarily concentrate on studying the things on the blueprint for Ji Lin, and may even secretly leak the blueprint. Although they are bound by the book of contract, no one can be sure whether there will be soul engineers who would rather sacrifice their lives than leak the blueprint!

Ji Lin never underestimates a person's patriotism. If he meets such a person, Ji Lin might really be in trouble. So Ji Lin thought about it for a long time before deciding to let Meng Hongchen take him to see Jing Hongchen. He believed that although Jing Hongchen was also loyal to the Sun and Moon Empire, in his heart, family must be more important. After all, many nobles in Douluo Continent are like this.

It would be best if Jing Hongchen could be convinced, but if not, the only option is to let Chi Yuan subdue Jing Hongchen, and then use the Word Spirit Technique to erase Jing Hongchen's memory.

Because of Meng Hongchen, he certainly didn't want to use such means, nor did he want to hurt Meng Hongchen's family.

The current situation is that everyone is happy. Jing Hongchen is completely on Ji Lin's side. He has an insider in the Sun Moon Empire, and with Jing Hongchen's identity as a ninth-level soul mentor, it is most appropriate for him to help Ji Lin research and make that thing. Of course, this has to be done in secret. Confidentiality is the most important thing, and the constraints of the Book of Contract are indispensable.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is missing. When that thing is made, and the Sun-Moon Empire defeats the three empires and eliminates Ji Lin's potential enemies, it will be his turn to appear.

Those who can accept the Sun-Moon Empire will definitely accept Ji Lin, and those who cannot accept the Sun-Moon Empire will also not accept Ji Lin's rule, so these stumbling blocks will ultimately be left to Xu Tianran and Juzi to resolve.

Ji Lin gained a lot from this secret meeting in Mingde Hall. The last piece of the puzzle was ready and all he had to do now was wait for the fruit to ripen.

At the same time, emergency plans must be prepared at any time. After all, plans cannot keep up with changes. There are many hidden sects in this world, as well as the high and mighty God Realm. There is even a God King who breaks the law and is unworthy of his position, and is eyeing everything covetously. It is unknown whether things can develop in the direction that Ji Lin hopes for.

Before that, he still needs to become stronger.

……

Sun and Moon Empire, Royal Palace.

The palace was brightly lit at night. Crown Prince Xu Tianran was reading a book in his study, with Juzi by his side.

"Orange, do you want to go to the soul guide making competition? You are also a soul guide, so you should be very interested in this." Xu Tianran suddenly raised his head and said to Orange with a smile.

The Soul Guide Manufacturing Competition, whose full name is Mingdu Soul Guide Elite Competition, is a competition jointly organized by the three major underground forces in Mingdu. It is held simultaneously with the Continental Senior Youth Elite Soul Master Competition, except that one is held during the day and the other at night.

This is a soul mentor production competition organized by the three major underground forces with the help of the Continental High-level Youth Elite Soul Master Competition, in order to make a fortune by taking advantage of the popularity of the competition.

And also opened a gambling game.

The three major underground forces also specially invited a powerful ninth-level soul guide from the royal family of the Sun and Moon Empire to serve as the chief referee, as well as a referee committee composed of twelve soul guides above the seventh level to ensure the fairness of the competition and gambling.

What they actually want to do is very simple, which is to use the popularity of this competition to attract civilians, nobles, and rich people who want to bet but are unable to place bets directly on the competition. Make huge profits from it.

Facts have proved that they are very successful. Up to now, there are more than one million people participating in gambling in this underground black market competition, and the amount of bets can be imagined.

In order to attract enough outstanding soul masters to participate, the rewards for the competition are all rare metals.

Soul guides may not care about money, but they will never care about rare metals. They can earn money by making soul guides, but rare metals are not something that can be bought with money, especially in this competition, there are some extremely rare metals given out as rewards.

The three major forces are the largest Xishui League, the Pingfan League and the Aodu Chamber of Commerce.

Behind the Xishui League are the Holy Spirit Church and Xu Tianran, which is why Xu Tianran suggested going to watch the game.

Ju Zi was slightly stunned by Xu Tianran's suggestion. "Your Highness, this is not good. With your status, how can you appear there?"
