Chapter 312: Re-Entering the Sky Screen


    Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios


    Di Jiu activated the ne Split Talisman once again when he arrived at a spacious ce after leaving the Immortal Ascension City.


    The enraged power tore the void before his eyes instantly and Di Jiu’s spiritual force now was significantly more powerful than the first time. He immediately tried using the ne Split Talisman. His spiritual force found where the familiar Sky Screen was very quickly.


    Di Jie tunneled into the void, which had been split open. Thanks to his immortal body and outstanding escape technique, Di Jiu got out of the Sky Screen almost as soon as he activated the ne Split Talisman. When the ne Split Talisman was activated for the second time and cut through the Sky Screen, Di Jiu charged towards the gap and arrived above the Sky Screen.


    In the past, he had only been an Essence Soul. Thus, he had not been able to feel the rules there. Now that he had attained the fifth-stage True Form Realm and had a level-eleven spiritual force, he could feel the broken Law of Heaven and Earth the moment hended above the Sky Screen.


    Di Jiu, who did not intend to cultivate here, located where Little Tree was in no time.


    ...


    In the past, Di Jiu had seen a dull and dry treant with a drooping head and a ck bug the size of a fist near it in the Sky Screen.


    “Little Tree, don’t be so sulky all the time. You act as if your boss died.” The ck bug was shiny ck and so much more vibrant and attractivepared to the shriveled Tiny Treant.


    “Dung beetle, I’m warning you. Call me Big Brother Tree from now on. I’ll sever ties with you if you continue to call me Little Tree.” The Tiny Treant’s head hung low, as though someone had stepped on its tail.


    The ck bug, which was not to be undone, flew in the sky. “You are Little Tree. Don’t call me a dung beetle if you’ve got the guts. I’m much more handsome than a parched tree like you. You have to call me Brother ck from now on.”


    “Dung beetle, dung beetle, dung beetle...”


    The Tiny Treant addressed the dung beetle this way only a few times, whereas its usual practice was to repeat those two words relentlessly until it got so thirsty that it could no longer talk.


    However, the Tiny Treant stopped after three times and jumped in surprise. “I feel Big Brother’s presence. Ha ha ha... I am a smart little tree! I knew that Big Brother would not abandon me for...”


    The ck bug obviously felt Di Jiu’s aura too, so it flew to the top of the Tiny Treant’s head and hopped. “I can feel it too. The Big Brother is really here.”


    The Tiny Treant, which had a sudden realization, swung the ck bug away from his head and said, “Dung beetle, you cursed Big Brother and wished him dead just now. I will definitely tell him about it.”


    The ck bug hopped as high as three feet and said, “Little Tree, don’t spout nonsense. When did I curse Big Brother? Big Brother dislikes dishonest little trees the most. Be careful or he will burn you. I suggest that you think about how you want to tell him that he can’te here.”


    Little Tree understood his words and said anxiously, “Yeah, he can’te in here. That tuberculosis-stricken scumbag outside has been refining this ming mountain. If Big Brother gets caught by him, it’ll be awful. Oh no...”


    “Why don’t we sneak outside?” The ck bug didn’t seem as aggressive as before. It felt as if Little Tree held something against it.


    Little Tree snorted, “Foolish dung beetle! Weren’t you the one who suggested that wee here in the first ce? This is the ming mountain. You could eat the fire, but what about me? The fire will make my smooth skin worse and worse, yet here you are, suggesting that we go out after that tuberculosis-stricken scumbag set up that confinement array. What makes you think that we would stay here if we could actually escape?”


    The ck bug’s head drooped, as if he did not dare rebut Little Tree. Although he had despised Little Tree for being an old tree beforeing inside, he had never expected that Little Tree would be so fragile when they first went in. They were merely under the ming mountain, so its roots would not be set on fire directly after all.


    ...


    “Are you refining this ming mountain?” Di Jiu was at the periphery of the ming mountain when the blue me at the top of the mountain disappeared. A man was refining the mountain at the foot of the mountain.


    The man stopped what he was doing and stood up slowly before scrutinizing Di Jiu.


    Di Jiu, who scrutinized the man at the same time, realized that he seemed like a skinny tuberculosis-stricken scumbag who could be blown away by the wind at any time during the early stage of the Domain Realm. Even though Di Jiu knew that this man was not weak, considering Di Jiu’s current state, the man would be defeated.


    “How did you appear at the Sky Screen?” asked the man with a frown, as he could not judge Di Jiu’s strength.


    Di Jiu said emotionlessly, “I came here the same way you did.”


    The man seemed to recall something before a sudden realization hit him, “Oh, I forgot. When I first entered the Sky Screen, a weakling shed across my spiritual force. Don’t tell me that you were that weakling?”


    After realizing that Di Jiu had been that weakling, the man had no more reservations. He immediately shed his Dharma treasure and trapped Di Jiu with mes.


    He was very familiar with Di Jiu’s capabilities. Di Jiu had been severely injured by the void des when he had used the ne Split Talisman in the void. Therefore, he could capture Di Jiu with a single hand. Using the Dharma treasure to tackle him was basically an honor for Di Jiu.


    Di Jiu did not mind the third-stage Domain Realm, let alone being burned by mes.


    He did not even use the Heavenly Aqua Saber. He just sent out the Dao fire immediately.


    “Is that Dao fire?” eximed the third-stage cultivator when he saw Di Jiu’s attack. It was obvious that he knew a lot about mes.


    Attacking a cultivator who possessed the Dao fire with mes was idiotic.


    The tuberculosis-stricken scumbag wanted to retrieve his mes, but it was toote. Di Jiu’s Dao fire was like a tornado that swept the man’s me away. Before the Domain Realm cultivator could snatch his me back, Di Jiu’s footnded on his chest.


    Cultivation-wise, the tuberculosis-stricken scumbag was far worse than Mei Bashan.


    Di Jiu’s kick smashed his intestines before the man flew right into the distant ming mountain.


    The man had merely refined part of the mountain, so there was still an unrefined part. Therefore, he would definitely die when hended into that horrifying sea of fire.


    “Please don’t kill me...” The cultivator was engulfed by the mes as soon as he said that. Di Jiu performed a simple scooping motion using his Quintessential Essence hand seal before a ringnded in his hand.


    Blue res shed as the Heavenly Aqua Sabernded and the confinement array outside the ming mountain was destroyed.


    Little Tree and the dung beetle rushed out when the confinement array was destroyed.


    “Big Brother, we knew that you wouldn’t abandon us! Ahh...” cried Little Tree.


    Di Jiu knew the Tiny Tree Root very well, so he did not care about it. However, he was shocked to see the fist-sized ck bug. “Not bad! Both of you are at level six. And you...”


    Before Di Jiu could call the bug a dung beetle, the ck bug immediately said, “Big Brother, I’ve got a me here. Look!”


    A blue me immediately formed on the ck bug’s head. Surprisingly, it was actually a level-five me.


    “Big Brother, this me is for you. Also, I’m no longer called a dung beetle. I’m now the...”


    The ck bug could not think of a suitable name yet. He regretted not thinking of a name earlier. Now he had reached a bottleneck at the most critical moment... What a mistake!


    Di Jiu, who knew what the dung beetle was thinking, fixed his eyes on the ming mountain. This was a blue me with a very high ranking.


    “Not bad. You can keep your me because I have my own. If you don’t want to be called the dung beetle, let me give you another name. You will be called ck beetle.” Di Jiu was toozy to spend timeing up with a good name.


    He knew that the dung beetle was not a weak species, as it could refine a blue me. Di Jiu was baffled because he hadn’t been able to find the origin of the dung beetle in the Book of the World. If the dung beetle was not the final form of this species, then it had to be a mutant.


    The ck bug knew that it could not chicken out right now. If the name was not good, he would be ridiculed by the Tiny Tree Root. Thus, it said frantically, “If Big Brother doesn’t want my me because it is simr to Big Brother’s me, why don’t you call me ck Fire?”


    Di Jiu gestured with his hand. “ck Fire, can you tell me how you two got trapped by that tuberculosis-stricken scumbag?”


    Little Tree, who was eloquent, managed to describe almost everything in a very short time.


    Actually, when Di Jiu had gotten into trouble and disappeared, it had gone to find ck Fire alone. Then, it had found ck Fire in the ming mountain. ck Fire had acquired the blue me. However, the duo could not find Di Jiu, so they could only stay in the Sky Screen and find some treasures to cultivate.


    Unlike ck Fire, Little Tree did not have great potential. Furthermore, ck Fire was also morepetent at finding treasures. Hence, the duo had relied on the treasures in the Sky Screen to reach level six. If ck Fire had not needed a lot more cultivating resources than Little Tree, ck Fire would probably have reached level seven by now.


    A few years ago, a guy had suddenly entered the closed Sky Screen. It had been that tuberculosis-stricken scumbag. The scumbag had tried to kill Little Tree and ck Fire when he had seen them. Therefore, ck Fire could only bring Little Tree to the foot of the ming mountain. If Di Jiu had note in time, the tuberculosis-stricken scumbag would have refined the mes on the mountain and taken the two of them away.
