Chapter 136: The Sky Screen Opens

Qin Yin was indeed beautiful, but Di Jiu did not really think about her. After Zhen Man, he had never fallen for another woman. He had been through countless experiences, so he was already past the stage of purely looking at pretty faces.

Qin Yin wanted to leave the hall where the Sky Screen cards were exchanged. She did not like Di Jiu, yet her master had told her not to leave the hall until he arrived.

This hall was the safest place in the Sky Screen, as no one dared to attack it.

However, not everyone could stay under its protection. Only the people who received a Sky Screen card were eligible to stay there. Although she had not received one, her master was a late-stage Essence Soul Expert, so she was qualified to stay there while she waited.

Like the rest of the cultivators, she thought that Di Jiu had stayed there for her. An hour later though, Qin Yin started to question this notion.

The cultivator, whom she considered shameless, had sat down in the corner and stopped moving. He didn’t peek at her with his eyes or use his mental strength to scan her.

Her woman’s intuition told her that she was not wrong. If he had no ulterior motives concerning her, why was this arrogant, shameless guy staying in this hall?

...

He Tai returned to his simple cave abode eagerly and took out his communication pearl to send a message to Ceng Beizi. When he texted her that Di Jiu had appeared in the Sky Screen, he waited anxiously for her reply.

He and Ceng Beizi had met in the Sky Market City. At the time, Ceng Beizi had been with Yu Jie. The two of them had told him that once his Foundation Establishment was built, he should immediately find Di Jiu and help him escape the Qi Family’s persecution.

When Ceng Beizi, who was particularly embarrassed, had heard that Big Brother Di Jiu had appeared in the Polar Night Continent and was being persecuted by the Qi Family, she had been both excited and worried.

After a few hours, He Tai finally received a reply from Ceng Beizi. The message was very hasty. There was only one sentence: “We are trapped in the recesses of the Million Sky Market’s ice river...”

He Tai immediately realized that this was not good. When he had been in the Sky Market City, Ceng Beizi and Yu Jie had invited him to go to the ice river. However, he had wanted to go to the Sky Screen and try his own luck, so he had decided not to go.

It seemed like after he had left, Yu Jie and Zeng Beizi had headed to the ice river and gotten trapped within it.

Based on what he knew about the ice river, no one could get out of it. Given He Tai’s current ability, there was no way he could rescue Ceng Beizi and Yu Jie.

As he thought of this, He Tai got anxious. How could he stay there now? He had to go find Di Jiu and tell him about this. He needed to rush out of the cave abode before the Sky Screen opened.

He Tai calmed down. First, he needed to find Di Jiu and ask for his help. When he calmed down, he realized that even if he looked for Di Jiu, it would be difficult to rescue Ceng Beizi and Yu Jie from the ice river.

If one could be rescued so easily, then countless people would go looking for the ice lotus. Although there were many stories about the ice river, the cultivators who spread those stories had basically all fallen into the river.

He Tai started to put on a simple disguise. He had been very lucky to be able to get there from the Sky Market City. However, even if he returned to the Sky Market City and reached the Million Sky Market’s ice river, he might still not be able to save Ceng Beizi and Yu Jie.

His best option now was to enter the Sky Screen to enhance his strength and inform Di Jiu about this incident. Then, he and Di Jiu could go to the ice river and save Ceng Beizi and Yu Jie.

Whether Ceng Beizi and Yu Jie could survive for such a long time was entirely up to fate.

If he had not experienced the robbery of his jade slip, He Tai may not have put on a disguise. However, he now knew very well that he had to dress like a cultivator who did not have a Sky Screen card before he entered the Sky Screen.

...

Hantai City was the largest cultivation city in the East. Its status in the East was even higher than that of North Ridge City in the North.

Hantai City possessed the most cultivation resources and gathered the wealthiest businessmen in the East. In addition, all the major sects of the East had a garrison there.

A blue-haired, eccentric young man opened his eyes in an extremely luxurious cave abode in Hantai City. Then, he reached out, looked up and stood up with a sigh.

The Polar Night Continent was indeed awful. He had been a Level-Nine Array King Master for 200 years, yet his cultivation level had remained at the seventh-level pioneer sea. He could not even attain the Tripod Transformation, so he had no idea how long it would take him to attain the ninth-level pioneer sea.

It seemed like he would have to leave the Polar Night Continent, yet he was really unwilling to do so. The mental strength escape jade slip was in the Polar Night Continent, and he was sure that the mental strength training jade slip could also be found there.

This escape technique was rumored to be the most powerful supernormal ability. Unfortunately, he had only obtained the second half of the mental strength jade slip, so he still needed the first half.

Without any mental strength training, the mental strength escape technique would be useless. He would not be able to cultivate it and escape.

Therefore, he had changed the mental strength escape to mental strength escape technique, engraved countless jade slips and given them out. Each jade slip had his mental strength imprint on it. Thus, if someone cultivated the mental strength escape technique, he would know through the mental strength Dharma Array he had arranged.

His theory was that in order to be able to cultivate the mental strength escape technique, mental strength training was necessary.

After cleaning himself up, the blue-haired young man walked out of the mental strength Dharma Array. When he saw a red dot flash within his mental strength Dharma Array, his heart got so excited that it felt like it was about to jump out of his chest.

Although he had held onto the idea of looking for the mental strength escape technique’s sister jade slip, he had not really expected to find it. The red dot flashing in his mental strength Dharma Array meant that someone had successfully cultivated and performed the mental strength escape technique. That red dot signified the location of this person.

It took the blue-haired young man a long time to resist the excitement in his heart. Then, he entered the mental strength Dharma Array and determined the location of the red dot.

It seemed to be in the westernmost side of the Polar Night Continent, so it was obviously in the Sky Screen.

There was basically no trace of cultivators in the western part of the continent. If there were any cultivators there, they could only be in the Sky Screen.

The blue-haired young man did not even hesitate. As soon as he got this information, his body turned into a flash of light that rushed out of Hantai City.

The alleviation restriction in Hantai City was a mere display of power.

He had to rush to the Sky Screen as fast as possible and find the mental strength training information he needed.

...

Time passed really fast for cultivators. Di Jiu had just closed his eyes and started to perform the mental strength escape technique, when a voice came from outside. “The Sky Screen is open!”

Di Jiu jumped up and rushed out into the hall in a few strides.

Qin Yin, who had been watching Di Jiu, looked at him in horror. Had this guy really stayed in the hall just because she was there and he had wanted to observe her?

She had never caught Di Jiu looking at her. Plus, when the Sky Screen opened, Di Jiu rushed out as if he had been avoiding some kind of trouble by hiding inside and had just been waiting for the Sky Screen to open.

Would an obnoxious person like him even try to avoid trouble?

Di Jiu was really fast. He rushed through the middle of a group of Sea Union Foundation Establishment cultivators before they could react or try to stop him.

Di Jiu’s speed was so fast that he soon reached the border of the Sky Screen.

The entrance of the Sky Screen was like a waterfall of twisted, void lines of unknown origin. The cultivators that owned Sky Screen cards grabbed their cards one by one, rushed into this twisted void pattern and disappeared.

When Di Jiu rushed into the Sky Screen, the Sea Union Cultivators would not be able to catch up with him anymore. However, Di Jiu unexpectedly slowed down when he reached the Sky Screen border.

Several Sea Union Cultivators immediately rushed to his side. The Foundation Establishment cultivator with the highest cultivation level raised his hand and took out a black net. “Still want to go, kid?”

Almost as soon as he took out the black net, Di Jiu withdrew his large hammer.

The Gathering Peaks were gathered in the hammer, rolling up their essence energy. The continuous bombardment of the giant peaks broke the essence energy defense of the Foundation Establishment cultivator bit by bit. Meanwhile, the large hammer slammed into the cultivator’s body.

Bam! As the Foundation Establishment cultivator was killed by his hammer, Di Jiu entered the twisted Sky Screen with one step.

He was such a fierce guy! The surrounding monks could all see this. Di Jiu had only slowed down to kill the late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Sea Union.
