Chapter 312: Re-Entering the Sky Screen

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Di Jiu activated the Plane Split Talisman once again when he arrived at a spacious place 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 Plane 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 Plane Split Talisman. When the Plane 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 he landed 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 black 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 black bug was shiny black and so much more vibrant and attractive compared 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 black 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 Black 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 black 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 black 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 black 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’t come here.”

Little Tree understood his words and said anxiously, “Yeah, he can’t come in here. That tuberculosis-stricken scumbag outside has been refining this flaming mountain. If Big Brother gets caught by him, it’ll be awful. Oh no…”

“Why don’t we sneak outside?” The black 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 we come here in the first place? This is the flaming 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 black bug’s head drooped, as if he did not dare rebut Little Tree. Although he had despised Little Tree for being an old tree before coming inside, he had never expected that Little Tree would be so fragile when they first went in. They were merely under the flaming mountain, so its roots would not be set on fire directly after all.

“Are you refining this flaming mountain?” Di Jiu was at the periphery of the flaming mountain when the blue flame 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 flashed 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 flashed his Dharma treasure and trapped Di Jiu with flames.

He was very familiar with Di Jiu’s capabilities. Di Jiu had been severely injured by the void blades when he had used the Plane 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 flames.

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

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

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

The tuberculosis-stricken scumbag wanted to retrieve his flames, but it was too late. Di Jiu’s Dao fire was like a tornado that swept the man’s flame away. Before the Domain Realm cultivator could snatch his flame back, Di Jiu’s foot landed 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 flaming mountain.

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

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

Blue flares flashed as the Heavenly Aqua Saber landed and the confinement array outside the flaming 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 black bug. “Not bad! Both of you are at level six. And you…”

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

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

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

The black 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 flaming mountain. This was a blue flame with a very high ranking.

“Not bad. You can keep your flame 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 black beetle.” Di Jiu was too lazy to spend time coming up with a good name.

He knew that the dung beetle was not a weak species, as it could refine a blue flame. 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 black 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 flame because it is similar to Big Brother’s flame, why don’t you call me Black Fire?”

Di Jiu gestured with his hand. “Black 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 Black Fire alone. Then, it had found Black Fire in the flaming mountain. Black Fire had acquired the blue flame. However, the duo could not find Di Jiu, so they could only stay in the Sky Screen and find some treasures to cultivate.

Unlike Black Fire, Little Tree did not have great potential. Furthermore, Black Fire was also more competent at finding treasures. Hence, the duo had relied on the treasures in the Sky Screen to reach level six. If Black Fire had not needed a lot more cultivating resources than Little Tree, Black 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 Black Fire when he had seen them. Therefore, Black Fire could only bring Little Tree to the foot of the flaming mountain. If Di Jiu had not come in time, the tuberculosis-stricken scumbag would have refined the flames on the mountain and taken the two of them away.
