Chapter 83: Soul Mark
Ji Juechen sat cross-legged, his breathing becoming strange. Huo Yuhao immediately realized that he had entered a state of deep meditation.
Huo Yuhao was stunned. If it weren't for his own massive cheats, he would really want to ask who the actual protagonist was.
Seriously, brother? You just entered deep meditation like that? I was planning to give you some pointers, but you just went ahead and started as soon as your Martial Soul upgraded, huh?
Inside the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, Jing Ziyan was anxiously searching for Ji Juechen.
She had feelings for Ji Juechen and had been waiting at their agreed meeting spot for a long time.
Another hour passed, and seeing that Ji Juechen still hadn't arrived, Jing Ziyan began searching the entire academy in a panic.
After sensing Jing Ziyan's movements, Huo Yuhao opened a gap in his Divine Sense Isolation Barrier and called her over.
"Brother Ji, I'll help you bring your future wife in today as well. You two can fly off together in the future; no need to thank me too much."
Upon hearing the transmission, Jing Ziyan hurriedly entered the range of the Divine Sense barrier.
Seeing Ji Juechen sitting cross-legged on the metal platform, she was about to speak when Huo Yuhao's transmission interrupted her.
"He has entered deep meditation. This is his Opportunity; do not interrupt him."
Jing Ziyan immediately fell silent upon hearing this, looking at this legendary strongest person on the continent with a hint of curiosity.
"I forgot to ask earlier, why were you looking for Ji Juechen? He is a very good friend of mine."
"Boyfriend and girlfriend? It's perfect that you're here to look after him; taking care of someone in deep meditation is quite a hassle," Huo Yuhao teased.
Having her thoughts exposed, Jing Ziyan's expression instantly became flustered, and a faint blush could be seen on her face if one looked closely.
"No—not boyfriend and girlfriend, but I can take care of him. We're just the kind of friends who are very close."
Huo Yuhao thought of their future marriage and nodded slightly, pretending to believe her explanation.
Right, the kind of 'good friends' who end up as husband and wife. He understood completely.
"Do you want to join my organization? Ji Juechen has already agreed to join. Next time I leave, I'll come back to take him with me."
While inviting Jing Ziyan, Huo Yuhao also answered her previous question.
He wasn't worried about whether Jing Ziyan would join. After all, both of them were the type who had no family burdens; once they made up their minds, they could go anywhere.
Especially with Ji Juechen already joined, Jing Ziyan was essentially a guaranteed addition.
"Can I wait for Ji Juechen to wake up and discuss it with him? I'm still somewhat hesitant."
Huo Yuhao nodded. After all, he hadn't been in the Sun Moon Empire for long, and his reputation here wasn't as established as it was in the Douluo Three Kingdoms.
Jing Ziyan was likely skeptical of his words. Unlike Xuan Ziwen, she didn't have much contact with the higher-ups and lacked a basic understanding of him.
Of course, a more troublesome problem was that Ji Juechen was deep meditating on his Spirit Ascension Platform, and he couldn't put the platform away yet.
The two waited nearby for Ji Juechen to wake up, chatting occasionally. However, this was quite a hardship for the members of the Sun Moon Imperial family outside.
Ever since this demigod concealed his presence, the Imperial family initially thought it would be like yesterday—that he would reappear on his own after a while.
As it turned out, this disappearance lasted for three days. Crown Prince Xu Tianran even began inspecting the underground Spirit Tool Armory.
He had a nagging feeling that Huo Yuhao might be planning to blow up the entire Capital City. Why else would he vanish for so long? Could he be secretly planting Spirit Tool Shells?
This move didn't escape Huo Yuhao, who had his Divine Sense active the whole time. He decided that before he left, he would make one last raid for resources.
With the three large storage spirit tools and sixty-nine ordinary storage spirit tools he carried, he could definitely empty out these armories completely.
While this act wasn't exactly moral, Huo Yuhao felt it was much more moral than blowing them up directly.
He believed the people of Capital City would understand his choice. Of course, it didn't matter if they didn't; he would acknowledge his own lack of morality and take everything anyway.
However, just as Huo Yuhao used his Sixth Spirit Ability to place a Mental Mark on the Soul Masters guarding the armory, he sensed something strange.
Something wasn't right. His Mental Mark seemed to conflict with a similar type of mark.
"Elder Yi, can you see what's going on with them? I feel like there's a Divine Sense mark inside their bodies."
As soon as Huo Yuhao's question was voiced, all the Spirit Souls in his Spirit Sea woke up. Hearing the mention of Divine Sense, they were instantly alert.
"Yuhao, this is a trace of Divine Sense aura I've intercepted. See if you recognize this Law."
In just a moment, Electrolux extracted a trace of Law aura from an ordinary passerby.
After carefully sensing this Law aura, Huo Yuhao almost cursed out loud. The aura of the Rakshasa God—how disgusting.
Huo Yuhao didn't even need to think; this Divine Sense mark from the Rakshasa God definitely had something to do with the Holy Spirit Cult.
The attributes were a perfect match, and they also possessed the secret method of Spirit Ascension. Huo Yuhao, who had originally thought they only held a broken fragment of a God Position, felt his heart sink.
With a slight scan, Huo Yuhao discovered that more than half the people in Capital City were marked by the Rakshasa God's Divine Sense.
Ye Xishui couldn't possibly end up becoming a god, right? That would be a real disaster.
If Huo Yuhao guessed correctly, the reason Ye Xishui failed in the original timeline was likely because Huo Yuhao blew up the entire Capital City.
All those marked people died in that massive explosion, inadvertently ruining her plan.
"Elder Yi, is there a way to deal with this Divine Sense mark? Or rather, what is the purpose of this mark?"
"From my experience, this mark is likely used to forcibly absorb faith energy. However, given the current scale, achieving the level of a Third-Class God would be very difficult."
"After all, it's a nearly completely broken God Position function, or perhaps just dozens of God Position fragments. Being able to achieve this level is already quite impressive."
Huo Yuhao breathed a sigh of relief. The current Douluo Continent was truly a place of hidden dragons and crouching tigers; there were more than just a few demigods, and quite a few at the Divine Rank.
It would be terrible if he ended up attracting all these gods, plus Tang San, for a divine-level free-for-all.
He should hurry and spread the glory of the Spirit Pagoda across the Douluo Continent and enhance the strength of his own Law of Life as soon as possible.
Electrolux also became interested in this Divine Sense mark and began using it to study the generation and conversion process of the Power Of Faith.
"Strange, what is this feeling of palpitations? Is something big about to happen again?"
Ye Xishui glanced at Long Xiaoyao, who was in seclusion with her, feeling somewhat unsettled.
At the same time, Huo Yuhao began refining his Mysterious Heaven Skill once more, attempting to incorporate some Destiny Power to enhance its effects.
