Chapter 166: A Pitiful Person

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After laughing, the skeleton man fell silent for a long time. “My name is Qian Fenghua and my cultivation partner was called He Weiwei. We were very much in love while we were traveling in the galaxy. We were indeed a harmonious couple. Unfortunately, those happy days did not last long. One day, I discovered that He Weiwei actually had an affair with another man. I was so furious that I wanted to demand an explanation. Who knew that He Weiwei would ignore me completely? She ran away and left me. Of course, I was not about to let this rest. We both chased each other until we reached the low-level plane...”

“Low-level plane? Did you come from an even higher plane, sir?” Di Jiu interrupted him in surprise.

Qian Fenghua sighed. “Weiwei and I had gotten some decent opportunities. Once, while we had been travelling in the galaxy, we had found the remains of an old man on an abandoned planet. That old man had been a talisman expert, so we acquired several Plane Rift Talismans that could allow one to travel from high-level to low-level planes. While Weiwei was running away, she used the Plane Rift Talisman. Naturally, so did I. When we arrived at the low-level plane, we were still very strong, despite the repression of our cultivation levels.”

Di Jiu really wanted to ask what cultivation level Qian Fenghua was at. However, Qian Fenghua was currently lost in his memories, so he held himself back and did not interrupt him.

“After running for some distance, Weiwei took out a Dharma treasure and engaged me in battle. At the time, I was so angry that I didn’t hesitate. I took out a Dharma treasure and attacked her with my full strength. I had not expected that Weiwei wouldn’t use her full strength to block my attack. It seemed as though she was letting me kill her without any form of retaliation. I anxiously shifted the direction of my attack without checking where I was. I didn’t expect that the place where we were fighting would be in the galaxy outside the Night Star Continent. The Night Star Continent was split into two by my move...”

Di Jiu was extremely shocked. How powerful was Qian Fenghua if he had been able to split the Night Star Continent into two with one move?

“When we discovered that the Night Star Continent was split into two, Weiwei cried and said that she was wrong, that she shouldn’t have stopped there. At the time, I was also dumbfounded. Both Weiwei and I had been born in the Night Star Continent, so splitting the Night Star Continent into two was beyond ungrateful. I forgot about my need to accuse and question Weiwei and got lost in my desire to repair the Night Star Continent. Weiwei consoled me by saying that we should remedy the mistakes we’d made and that everything else could wait till the Night Star Continent was repaired. After the continent was repaired, she would give me an answer. She said that the explanation would not be what I had imagined.”

Could such a coincidence really occur? Di Jiu suddenly sensed that something was amiss. If the galaxy was so small, it would be easy for him to find where the Everlasting Domain Planet was. However, it was actually extremely difficult for him to find that planet. It was impossible to find it right now, as the galaxy was simply too vast.

“I felt extremely guilty, so I placed all my focus on repairing the Night Star Continent. That was why I actively entered the Night Star Sky Market that I’d split into two. The Night Star Planet might be a low-level planet, but repairing it was still not an easy feat, despite my strength. Weiwei blamed herself. She said that she had to find the Law soil that could repair the Night Star Planet and bring it back to the planet. I asked Weiwei to lock me within the sky market of the Night Star Planet and swore that I wouldn’t leave if I didn’t manage to repair the Night Star Planet.”

“I have been refining various array flags to prevent the dispersal of the Night Star Planet’s Laws to the best of my ability. Weiwei went to search for the Law soil. One day, she will eventually find it and come back here...”

Suddenly, Qian Fenghua seemed to remember something. He paused for a while before he added, “Although the people outside were indeed greedy, this was not really a big problem. After all, even if they were not greedy, I could only successfully complete the first step and merge the Polar Night Continent and the Half-Screen Continent. The problem with the Law was that Weiwei had to find and bring the Law soil over first. I believe that one day she will find it and come back here...”

Di Jiu sighed silently. He was certain that He Weiwei would not come back. If such a coincidence could occur, then one would be able to obtain a Connate Dharma treasure when they stepped out of the house.

Di Jiu believed that Qian Fenghua would discover the answer to that as well after his feelings of disappointment and regret passed. However, he would be unwilling to believe the answer he found. Sometimes, one had to lie to oneself to find the courage to live on.

He Weiwei had cheated on Qian Fenghua and then brought him over to split open their mother planet. Qian Fenghua had been filled with extreme regret, so he had asked her himself to lock him there and leave him to perish.

It was evident that He Weiwei knew Qian Fenghua very well. She knew that Qian Fenghua was an impassioned person who showed gratitude, so he would probably never forgive himself if he did not repair the mother planet he had destroyed himself.

Di Jiu thought that Qian Fenghua was pitiful, yet he could not bear to say aloud the truth both of them knew. Hence, he said, “What can I help you with, sir?”

Qian Fenghua came back from this painful recollection, looked at Di Jiu and said, “Looks like you’re no simple man either. You were able to reach the deep recesses of the sky market unscathed after all. I still have one more chance to merge the Half-Screen Continent and the Polar Night Continent. Help me defend my surroundings with the Defense Arrays when I begin the merging process. Don’t let any of the cultivators from the two continents seize any of the spirit meridians or Spirit Stones. Otherwise, I will have no other options left.”

“Sir, my cultivation and array formation skills are limited,” Di Jiu said helplessly. “I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to block such a terrifying struggle.”

Qian Fenghua laughed. “I know. I have two array discs here. You just have to help me bring it to the ground and activate it for me. I still have some insight on array formation here. You can take a look. There’s still some time before the next merger of the Half-Screen Continent and the Polar Night Continent. You would only need to wait for me here for a while.”

“Sir, there are even higher-grade Spirit Stones in the galaxy...”

Before Di Jiu could complete his sentence, Qian Fenghua realized what he was going to say. He immediately waved his hand and said, “I know what you are trying to say. At first, I used those higher-grade Spirit Stones. However, they were seized by someone. Oh, that’s right. I still have some low-grade Spirit Stones here. I’ll give them all to you.”

Qian Fenghua threw out four Spirit Stones that contained an even denser Spirit Qi. The moment Di Jiu grabbed a hold of them, he knew that they were much higher in grade than high-grade Spirit Stones. He had never seen a supreme-grade Spirit Stone before, but he was certain that the Spirit Qi Law of these Spirit Stones was higher than that of supreme-grade Spirit Stones. Even though he had not started cultivating, simply by holding onto the Spirit Qi, he could already feel his cultivation increasing.

...

“Come with us, Little Tree,” said Jing Moshuang as she looked at Little Tree. The few of them had waited for a month, so they knew that staying there any longer would be pointless. They had received no news about Di Jiu after all.

This abandoned mining hole had been a chaotic mess ever since it had been mangled by the spatial wind blades and dislocations. Even a true Pioneer Sea Realm cultivator would be pulverized there, let alone a Golden Core Realm Cultivator.

“We will go our separate ways,” Little Tree said in a low, muffled voice.

Then, it turned around and left. It could not bother staying with these people, who were discussing going to an ice river to save Ceng Beizi when they left the Sky Screen. That was none of its business. Why didn’t they try thinking of ways to save Big Brother instead?

Little Tree actually knew that saving Di Jiu was not a realistic goal. This place had been reduced to a chaotic mess by the spatial blade flares. There were even some spatial rifts and spatial blade flares left, so no one would be able to dig open a space there and save anyone. Little Tree was simply feeling displeased.

Everyone thought that Di Jiu was dead. Only Little Tree was certain that he was still alive. It would be dead as well if Big Brother was truly dead after all. However, it was currently still alive.

What was strange was that it was unable to sense where Big Brother was. That sensation was so faint that it almost did not exist. The only thing Little Tree could do now was search quickly for opportunities to increase its cultivation realm to Level Four. Then, it would search for the dung beetle and the two of them would go save Big Brother together.

Little Tree had never entertained the thought of telling the others that Big Brother was still alive. It did not trust them, especially Qin Yin.

Big Brother possessed too many quality items: The Book of the World, the blue spirit meridian, the Soul Origin Fruit...

Once these items were exposed, Qin Yin, who was an evil woman, would definitely covet them. There was also Jing Moshuang, who had immediately said that she was Big Brother’s wife when she had discovered that something had happened to him. Who knew, maybe she was plotting to get Big Brother’s inheritance. It was hard to say for sure.

Although He Tai was loyal, it was impossible to judge a man’s heart from his appearance. He could be thinking of Big Brother’s quality items too. Yes, only Little Tree and the dung beetle were truly loyal and utterly devoted to Big Brother...

...

Jian Yiwu had been standing outside the Sky Screen ever since he had gotten there.

He had slapped a fourth-stage Essence Soul Realm cultivator of the Qi Family to death, so even if the Qi Family’s experts returned, no one would dare go there and take revenge.

After waiting for a few months, Jian Yiwu had calmed down. He estimated that the Sky Screen was about to close. The surroundings of the Sky Screen Square had been surrounded by the confinement array he’d set up for a long time. Anyone who came out of the Sky Screen would appear in his confinement array.

He wanted to get that Spiritual Force training jade slip, no matter what.

“You trapped the Sky Screen Square with a confinement array. This method seems a little inappropriate.” Jian Yiwu was surprised when someone dared to confront him just as the Sky Screen was about to close. No one had dared confront him during the one year he had been waiting there.

When he looked behind, Jian Yiwu saw an honest-looking man. The man’s skin tone was dark, and he was not tall. He was smiling as he looked at Jian Yiwu with narrowed eyes. When Jian Yiwu looked behind at him, the man suddenly reached out with his hand. With a few waves of his palm, he grabbed the domain Jian Yiwu had set up using the confinement array flags.

Jian Yiwu’s pupils dilated. This man was definitely an expert. Although he had only set up a mere Level-Seven confinement array, this level of confinement array was sufficient for the Polar Night Continent.

If this man was able to take his confinement array flags with a few casual waves of his hand, his array formation skills could not be weaker than his. Plus, Jian Yiwu was unable to sense the man’s cultivation level.

“Who are you? Why are you interfering with my business?” Jian Yiwu calmed down.

“I’m just a nobody from the Polar Night Continent. Every time the Sky Screen opens, the Polar Night Continent will produce several geniuses. I’m here to just advise you so that nothing happens to these geniuses.” The short man was still smiling harmlessly as he spoke.
