Di Jiu piled up dozens of thousands of high-grade Spirit Stones. Meanwhile, the surrounding Spirit Qi rolled over and was absorbed by him. Di Jiu’s galaxy meridian was becoming clearer and clearer, and the Spirit Qi inside it was constantly being transformed into real Quintessential Essence. Di Jiu’s cultivation level was also rising rapidly.

When the first blurry galaxy formed inside his galaxy meridian, more than 10,000 Spirit Stones around Di Jiu seemed to get crushed. All of them turned into slag, while a richer Spirit Qi was swept away by Di Jiu, filling up his entire galaxy meridian.

The vigorous Quintessential Essence broke through the last obstacle, while Di Jiu’s strength rose rapidly once again.

Although the galaxy in his galaxy meridian was still a vague outline, it kept getting clearer. Meanwhile, a golden star appeared within the outline of the galaxy. Di Jiu suddenly stood up and struck out with a punch.

As the endless violent Quintessential Essence was blasted out by his punch, a loud sound was heard. A gully of dozens of feet started from the hard cave abode and extended outside.

Di Jiu looked at the gully as he slammed it with his fist excitedly, as if the infinite suffocation in his heart had been blasted out.

He had finally entered the Golden Core Realm. Although he did not have a real Golden Core inside his body, there was a galaxy outline in the illusory galaxy meridian and a golden star within the outline of the galaxy.

Di Jiu displayed his mental strength arbitrarily. Even though he did not try to condense his mental strength after entering the Golden Core Realm, he escaped more than one kilometer away on his first try.

The kind of strength he possessed now would ensure that he would not have to run away from anyone in the Polar Night Continent.

Di Jiu took out his communication pearl from his storage ring with satisfaction. He was ready to send a message to the Tiny Treant and ask where it was.

When he took the communication pearl out though, he saw about eight messages, all of them sent by the Tiny Treant. The first few messages had a trace of excitement. The Tiny Treant said that it had found a treasure and urged him to hurry up and see it.

The last two messages were calls for help. The Tiny Treant was whining miserably that someone was going to kill it and asking Di Jiu to save its life.

Di Jiu was furious when he read this message. Thus, he used his flying boat without hesitation and rushed to the location indicated by the Tiny Treant.

Using flying dharma treasures in the Sky Screen was forbidden. The dimension there was unstable, so there were countless dimension vortices and dislocations. Once one got in, death was imminent. This was also the case in the Marsh Ocean Forest, where they had relied entirely on the Tiny Treant in order to survive.

Now that the Tiny Treant was not there, Di Jiu did not care about rules. He not only used the flying boat, but he also drove it at maximum speed. However, as he was flying in the Sky Screen, Di Jiu’s mental strength was watching closely the surrounding dimension.

After flying for less than half an hour, his mental strength felt some regular fluctuations.

Although Di Jiu did not understand the laws, he had been influenced by the golden lightning on the gray stone for a long time and had been studying the laws of the Book of the World for several months. Therefore, he noticed these fluctuations immediately.

Di Jiu took control of the flying boat without hesitation and tried to bypass these aura laws.

Sure enough, when his flying boat bypassed the laws, nothing happened to it.

When he discovered that he could bypass these fluctuations unscathed, Di Jiu sped up.

One day later, his flying boat landed right outside a valley. Although this valley was crowded with people, Di Jiu could not see the Tiny Treant.

However, he saw another familiar person. Qin Yin was there.

Qin Yin was following a third-level Golden Core cultivator with a desperate expression on her face. When Di Jiu’s mental strength scanned her, he discovered that she had a restriction on her body. The restriction had been placed not long ago, perhaps just a few hours earlier.

Di Jiu did not pay attention to Qin Yin. Instead, his eyes swept over the crowd by the valley’s entrance. His tone was a bit overbearing as he said, “My pet, who is called Tiny Treant, has disappeared in this area. Who touched it?”

No one answered his question. Di Jiu was obviously not a simple cultivator. He had flown over in a flying boat after all. Plus, no one there knew him, so they were not about to just stand up and disclose the whereabouts of the Tiny Treant.

“I know where the Tiny Treant is, Big Brother…” Qin Yin was like a drowning person who had suddenly latched onto a piece of wood.

“You must have a death wish!” The third-level Golden Core cultivator who had placed the restriction on Qin Yin was about to slap her.

However, Di Jiu kicked the man before he could touch her. The violent Quintessential Essence that followed Di Jiu’s kick engulfed the attacking space of the third-level Golden Core cultivator. The third-level Golden Core cultivator immediately felt his surrounding space become slow.

The moment he started to attack, he knew that it was in vain. Di Jiu seemed far stronger than him. He had no time to wonder how anyone in the Sky Screen could be so much stronger than him. He was driving the Quintessential Essence away wildly before he started to burn it.

Bam! Crack! When Di Jiu’s kick moved forward, the man finally broke away from the restraints of Di Jiu’s powerful Quintessential Essence.

However, his speed was a little slower, so one of his arms was broken by Di Jiu.

“Why did you hit me, pal?” As the third-level Golden Core cultivator swallowed a medicinal herb, he stared at Di Jiu in an effort to act tough.

“What do you mean? Don’t you know that she’s my friend? I should be asking why you tried to hit her!” When Di Jiu opened his hand, a long saber had appeared in it.

Di Jiu still liked Qin Yin, so he wanted to save her. Unfortunately, Qin Yin’s problems would naturally have to wait until the Tiny Treant’s problems were solved. No one had said anything about the whereabouts of the Tiny Treant until now, though. Qin Yin was the only one willing to talk, so he would naturally have to save her first.

The third-level Golden Core cultivator trembled unconsciously. Di Jiu had not taken out this dharma treasure earlier. Instead, he had almost killed him with his foot. If he wanted to attack him with the long saber now, he couldn’t imagine surviving such a blow.

“In that case, forget it.” The Golden Core cultivator was timid deep down, so his voice immediately weakened.

“Oh, really? You think I should forget it? Well, I think your face is bigger than a pig’s buttocks!” The long saber rolled around in Di Jiu’s hands. Although he had not drawn it out yet, the saber was already emitting waves of Saber Qi.

The Golden Core cultivator shuddered as he said quickly, “I am from the Broken Empty Island, pal. If you dare attack me, the whole island will surely come after you.”

Di Jiu smiled. “Where is the Broken Empty Island? I’ve never heard of it.”

“The Broken Empty Island is not in the Polar Night Continent,” Qin Yin said carefully behind Di Jiu. “It’s in another continent entirely.”

No sect from the Polar Night Continent, no matter how courageous, would dare control her so brazenly.

“I see…” Di Jiu muttered when he understood.

When the third-level Golden Core cultivator from the Broken Empty Island sensed that Di Jiu did not seem to have any killing intent, he felt slightly relieved. While he was trying to find an excuse to leave, Di Jiu’s saber transformed into a falling curtain and slashed down.

The Golden Core cultivator was already injured, so the saber’s sudden move made him forget about escaping. By the time he reacted, the falling curtain had already formed into a saber intent and locked onto him.

“You can’t kill me!” the Golden Core cultivator screamed wildly as he started to twist his body. He wanted to break away from Di Jiu’s saber.

After Di Jiu’s saber had moved down, Di Jiu had felt a completely new intent. He had studied the various heaven and earth laws for more than six months, so although he did not understand one law, he had seen myriads of them. This saber move seemed to be vaguely similar to a certain law…

Di Jiu suddenly remembered. This saber move felt like the endless ripples that had fallen from the void and formed the Sky Screen entrance when he had first entered the Sky Screen.

When he struck with this move, the endless saber screen formed a saber waterfall.

The saber screen fell like 100 million white curtains, forming a saber screen boundary.

It was like a flying white curtain and a boundary that could destroy a green mountain… This was an apt portrayal of this saber move.

Bam! The third-level Golden Core cultivator from the Broken Empty Island was split into two by Di Jiu.

Di Jiu held onto the long saber and closed his eyes to meditate. There was no sound around him right now, as everyone knew that he was experiencing a moment of enlightenment.

How could he experience such a moment even during a fight and kill a third-level Golden Core cultivator with one saber move? No one would dare provoke such a powerful cultivator. At least not in the Sky Screen.

Qin Yin looked at Di Jiu in shock. If she hadn’t been desperate, she would never have asked a guy who had teased her for help. Besides, Di Jiu was an awful person. He had even stolen the jade card of a stray cultivator. Although she had already thought that Di Jiu was very strong, now it seemed like she had not seen his real skills.

It was no wonder that he had dared to move against the Qi Family. This man was certainly qualified to do so.

After a full 10 minutes of resting, Di Jiu opened his eyes and laughed. He had already made a decision in his mind. This saber move would be called the Sky Screen Saber and become his sixth saber move.
