Chapter 141: The Blue Light Grotto-Heaven

“Can you tell me where my pet went?” asked Di Jiu. He kept his saber out as he walked over to Qin Yin and slapped it a few times against her body.

The restrictions on her body were child’s play for Di Jiu.

Qin Yin felt the seal on her body suddenly disintegrate. Her strength recovered rapidly, and her Quintessential Essence came back shortly.

“Thank you for your help, Big Brother.” Qin Yin was astonished by Di Jiu’s knowledge on seals and restrictions. He obviously did this often.

Di Jiu laughed. “You don’t have to be so courteous. I assume that you know who I am. Let’s all stop pretending. Just answer my question straightforwardly.”

He had entered the Sky Screen with a really high profile, so he would not have survived so far if he had been naive enough to think that no one would guess who he was. Plus, he had just announced that the Tiny Treant was his pet. There was probably no one in the entire Polar Night Continent who did not know that he, the Tiny Treant and Geng Ji had robbed the Qi Family’s Commercial Building in the Marsh Ocean Town.

Disguising himself for so long had not been his original intent. Now that everyone had guessed that he was Di Jiu though, they would definitely take note of every cultivator who entered the Sky Screen. Given his current strength, so long as he did not encounter an Essence Soul cultivator, there would be no need to hide anymore.

If he met such a cultivator, he would flee. Once he found Little Tree, he would immediately temper his Spiritual Force and refine his own Dharma treasure. He had to learn the Spiritual Force escape technique at all costs.

Di Jiu did not think that he had learned the Spiritual Force escape technique. He had only just started studying it. An escape technique would allow him to flee at least 50 kilometers away, even if he could not get out of his opponent’s Spiritual Force range in one go.

“Yes,” replied Qin Yin hurriedly. She started to suspect that Di Jiu had had another motive for teasing her in the hall earlier.

If Di Jiu had really admired her, now that he had saved her, he would have been speaking more kindly to her. She had never been in love, yet she had seen how other cultivation partners interacted with one another.

Qin Yin felt Di Jiu grow a little impatient when her thoughts drifted for a while. “When I got here, I happened to see a Golden Core expert bring your pet into the valley,” she said hurriedly. “I heard that it had discovered a priceless treasure…”

“In that case, why didn’t you guys head inside too?” Di Jiu’s gaze landed on the other cultivators.

He was an expert with a high cultivation in the area, so when a first-stage Golden Core cultivator met his gaze and heard his question, he walked forward, cupped his fists and said, “Because we have to cross a space strangulation array to enter the valley. Your pet has a natural spiritual body, so it could pass through that array easily. The cultivator who captured it was a seventh-stage Golden Core expert, so he only allowed cultivators above the fourth-stage Golden Core Realm to enter along with him. The people who remained here are all cultivators lower than the fourth-stage Golden Core Realm.”

Di Jiu used his Spiritual Force to scan the area. He quickly discovered the fluctuation of a law. In front of the valley was indeed a space Dharma Array. This Dharma Array, which had been created naturally, was between Level Five and Level Six.

Even though this was not high for him, Di Jiu was unable to recreate it. This was because this Dharma Array implicated laws. He might have seen and experienced many laws, but he was actually clueless about them, so he was naturally unable to set up such a spatial array.

However, while he was unable to do that, he could still pass through the array. He possessed an ability no other cultivators did after all. He was able to sense the fluctuations of the laws. Besides, he was a level-five Array Grandmaster.

Little Tree was his pet, so Di Jiu entered the valley without hesitation. His pet was threatened to enter the valley.

When she saw Di Jiu enter the valley, Qin Yin followed him hurriedly.

Di Jiu casually removed his mask, looked back at Qin Yin and said, “What are you following me for? I’ve changed my mind. I have no intention of pestering you to become my cultivation partner.”

Qin Yin looked at Di Jiu in shock. Although she had seen his picture on the arrest warrant, she was still shocked by his youth when she saw him in real life.

The Di Jiu before her seemed more pleasing to the eye compared to the cultivation family disciple she had met earlier. He had thick arched eyebrows, soft bone structure, prominent features, dense black hair and clear eyes. This combination of characteristics gave off a very strong vibe. However, his eyes seemed to exude a sense of vicissitude, showing the many things he must have experienced to give out such a vibe as a young cultivator. She could not understand why a young cultivator with such a bright future would want to oppose the Qi Family.

Qin Yin had studied physiognomy before, so she could tell that Di Jiu was not the kind of person who would seize the jade card of an Itinerant Cultivator.

However, given his current situation, it did not seem that hard to understand why he would. He was being chased by the Qi Family, so he naturally could not obtain a jade card through fighting. The only other way to obtain one was by seizing someone else’s card.

Qin Yin sighed silently. She had suddenly thought of the following saying: Why would a good person want to become a thief?

When he noticed that Qin Yin was in a daze, Di Jiu did not pay any attention to her. He just turned around and stepped into the valley.

Qin Yin followed him hurriedly once more. “Only death awaits me if I stay outside, Senior Brother Di. This is not because of my appearance, but because I possess the most suitable constitution to become a sex slave.”

“In that case, follow me. Watch carefully where I step. Don’t blame me if you get killed for taking a wrong step.” Di Jiu, who did not stop, had already stepped into the space strangulation array inside the valley.

His Spiritual Force had spread out completely, as he dared not act carelessly in this dangerous area. Whether Qin Yin would follow him successfully would depend on her own luck.

Qin Yin wanted to inform Di Jiu about this scary array. She had witnessed a Golden Core cultivator get fragmented by this space strangulation array after all. If it were not for the fact that she dared not stay out there alone, she would definitely not have chosen to follow Di Jiu and enter such a dangerous Dharma Array.

Qin Yin’s eyes were filled with admiration as Di Jiu crossed the array step-by-step and kept changing his position. Even her master would not dare claim that he would be able to conquer this kind of array. Judging by how freely he was changing his position within the array, Di Jiu could be an Array King.

Qin Yin was not completely clueless about array formation. A few spiritual plants that had developed intelligence could have detected such a dangerous area, yet the average array master would not be able to pass through this type of natural array. This space strangulation array was at least a level-four or level-five array. Even an Array Grandmaster would not be able to pass through a level-four or level-five natural array.

Qin Yin, who knew how scary this natural strangulation array was, followed Di Jiu and moved close to him. Di Jiu smelled a light fragrance that made him feel like he had gone back to the frivolous days he had lived in Pearl City. However, none of the ladies in Pearl City had worn this clean fragrance on their bodies like Qin Yin did.

Di Jiu pushed away all these random thoughts and quickened his pace. Half an hour later, he had conquered this natural array. In front of him was a cave entrance shining with a blue light. Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force permeated the cave, but it was stopped after several meters by this blue light. He could only tell that this cave had a downwards slope.

Di Jiu stepped into the cave without hesitation. Little Tree’s life was at stake after all. Qin Yin had no choice but to follow Di Jiu inside.

The cave had a downwards slope indeed. The further they went in, the denser the Spirit Qi became. Di Jiu had just attained the Golden Core Realm, so he had a huge need for dense Spirit Qi. He also discovered that one could cultivate in this cave abode without any obstacles.

“There is actually a Sky Screen Grotto-Heaven here,” said Qin Yin happily after gasping in surprise.

“What is a Sky Screen Grotto-Heaven?” asked Di Jiu casually.

“There are many places in the Sky Screen where one cannot cultivate, as the Spirit Qi there cannot be absorbed,” Qin Yin answered. “Cultivating is possible at extremely few places. These places are called Grotto-Heavens. Many cultivators increase their cultivation base tremendously in the Sky Screen by finding a Grotto-Heaven where cultivating is possible.”

Di Jiu finally understood that he was not the only person who could cultivate in the Sky Screen. Other people could cultivate as well, as long as they found a Grotto-Heaven. It seemed like his knowledge on the Sky Screen was still limited.

After walking for several hundred meters, Di Jiu finally spotted Little Tree. There were six Golden Core cultivators beside it. The weakest one was a fourth-stage Golden Core expert. One of the fifth-stage Golden Core cultivators there was from the Qi Family, as Di Jiu recognized the storage bag of the Qi Family’s Commercial Building.

In front of the Golden Core cultivators and Little Tree was a blue lake. Di Jiu predicted that the blue light was emanated from this lake.

Little Tree looked quite miserable right now. It actually seemed to have lost an arm.

“Who is there?” The Golden Core cultivator with the highest cultivation was the first one to sense Di Jiu entering. He hurriedly turned and stared at Di Jiu and Qin Yin.

When he sensed Qin Yin’s cultivation level, he was relieved. Although Di Jiu’s cultivation level was a little obscure, it couldn’t be too high if he had formed a team with Qin Yin.

His attention was quickly attracted by Qin Yin, who was truly beautiful. Plus, the spiritual aura surrounding her was void of any impurities, so she was obviously supreme sex slave material.

“Big Brother!” screamed Little Tree when it saw Di Jiu. Before Di Jiu could speak, a beetle hiding in Little Tree’s hair flew out and landed on Di Jiu’s shoulder in an instant.
