Chapter 138: The Book Of The World

Di Jiu improved from initially escaping four ters at a ti to nearly 100 ters in just three days.

He was still trying to practise the escape technique, even though his speed had been slowed down because of his condensed ntal strength. Even if he only progressed by one centiter a day, Di Jiu would still practise without hesitation, as this concerned his ability to survive.

After three days in the Sky Screen, Di Jiu ca across so precious spirit herbs and ores. Apart from taking the ti to collect a fourth-level Black Gold Jade, he had not collected any other things. Instead, he had spent all his ti studying the ntal strength escape technique.

On his seventh day there, Di Jiu stopped. His ntal strength escape technique could already reach 150 ters.

The reason he stopped was because he had seen a huge book.

Di Jiu had never seen such a big book before. The book, which was half-open on the ground, looked magnificent.

At the beginning, Di Jiu thought that this was a natural boulder that looked like a book. When he felt the aura of the book though, he imdiately discovered that it was a real book.

Di Jiu raised his hand and called out the Tiny Treant. When the Tiny Treant ca out, it exclaid, “That’s such a big book! Have we reached the Sky Screen, Big Brother?”

Di Jiu nodded. “Yes, this is the Sky Screen. This book is definitely a top treasure. I am going to refine it. Once I open it, I won’t have the ti to find any other treasures. You will look for treasure in the anti. If you hear from Geng Jihua, you will tell him imdiately that I am refining this book.”

“Yes, Big Brother!” The Tiny Treant rubbed its hands together delightfully. It had been wanting to go out alone for a long ti, but the outside world was too terrifying. If it were not careful, it would be taken away to be refined as a weapon or get used as a soup ingredient.

There should be no strong individuals in the Sky Screen, so its current speed had to be able to save its small life.

“There are a lot of dangers in the Sky Screen. If you are accidentally killed, you will just be unlucky. Take the clam with you for a walk and see if it will stumble into any opportunities,” Di Jiu said unceremoniously.

When the pointed-mouthed beetle attached to the top of the Tiny Treant’s head heard Di Jiu’s words, it let out several unsatisfied screams. However, Di Jiu did not pay any attention to it.

When the Tiny Treant took the clam, Di Jiu walked towards the book. He wanted to get close to the book so that he could reach out and touch it. When Di Jiu was about a mile away from the book, a force collided with him and tossed him a few ters away.

“This is not the right way, pal. This is not how you can read the Book of the World. If you want to read it, you must remain at least 10 feet away from the book and slowly use your ntal strength to feel it. If you are lucky, you will gain very valuable knowledge.” Di Jiu had just gotten up, when a cultivator approached him and took the initiative to tell him that his thod was wrong.

“Are you familiar with this book?” Di Jiu asked in amazent. He had thought that he was the first person to discover it. He hadn’t expected that soone else would know about it. Not only did this cultivator know about it, but he had even ntioned that the book was called the Book of the World.

The cultivator who had spoken looked very young, yet he must have attained the sixth-stage cultivation level. He was wearing a gray cultivator gown, and there was a storage bag around his waist.

When he heard Di Jiu’s words, he looked astonished. “This is the Sky Screen’s Book of the World. It has existed for a very long ti. How could I not know about it? I ca here to find it and try my luck...”

Di Jiu stroked his hair and touched his chin in embarrassnt. He’d thought that he had found a treasure. He hadn’t expected that the whole world would know that this was the Sky Screen’s Book of the World.

This could only be blad on his limited knowledge about the Sky Screen. Although he had bought two Sky Screen jade slips, they had only ntioned how to get to the Sky Screen and acquire a Sky Screen card.

This was the first ti he’d heard about the Book of the World.

“This book must be very valuable, right? Why can’t anyone refine it and take it away?” Di Jiu asked in confusion.

He believed that he was not the only person who had seen the impressive potential of this book.

When he heard Di Jiu’s question, the gray-clothed cultivator opened his mouth and looked at him for a while. He had finally understood what kind of person Di Jiu was. He was soone who didn’t know anything. He wondered how this guy had even entered the Sky Screen.

“Um... You may not know this, pal, but the Book of the World can’t be refined or taken away. I heard that it has co from the previous world. Maybe soone will fly to the previous world soday and take this ssage there. Then, the people of the previous world will co and take away the Book of the World. I have not heard of anyone who can refine the Book of the World in the Cultivation World,” the gray-clothed cultivator answered after a long ti.

Then, he seed to realize that Di Jiu was clueless about cultivation and simply added, “A pioneer sea realm expert younger than 100 years old ca to the Sky Screen once. He spent a year refining next to the Book of the World. The book reacted by wounding him seriously. It was rumored that his foundational root was also damaged. Ever since that incident, no one has dared take the risk of refining the Book of the World, as it is simply impossible to accomplish.”

Di Jiu gasped. A pioneer sea expert younger than 100 years old? He was almost 30, yet even though he had the galaxy ridian and his gray stone, he was still not sure whether he would be able to enter the pioneer sea realm within 100 years.

There were many experts in the world, so there was always soone better out there.

What was even more terrifying was that a pioneer sea realm expert had spent a year trying and had still been unable to refine the Book of the World. Di Jiu was just a Foundation Establishnt cultivator, but he had actually thought of refining this book.

“May I ask what the benefits of staying here and trying to understand the Book of the World are, pal?” Di Jiu asked in a sincere tone as he held up a fist.

The gray-clothed cultivator pointed to the book and said, “This book contains the treasured nas and wisdom of the whole universe. Once, a Qi cultivator crafted the wisdom elixir of the book by chance. He is now a seventh-stage elixir king. I have been stuck at the sixth-level Foundation Establishnt for many years. I wanted to use this opportunity to co to the Sky Screen to gain so wisdom so that I could enter the seventh-level Foundation Establishnt Realm.”

“Do a lot of people co here to learn from the Book of the World?” After learning about the book, Di Jiu had lost any hope of refining it.

Although he was ambitious enough, wasting his ti after discovering that it was impossible would be stupid.

“Of course. The Sky Screen has just opened, so soon many cultivators will gather here. So people give up looking for treasures in the Sky Screen so they can learn from the Book of the World.” After the gray-clothed man answered, he searched for a spot and arranged so defensive restrictions around it. Then, he closed his eyes so he could learn from the book.

When Di Jiu realized that the other man was not going to speak again, he gave up.

He sat down about 10 feet from the book and began to study it like the gray-clothed cultivator.

Di Jiu’s thoughts slowly touched the Book of the World and then penetrated it.

A vast expanse of aura rushed over. Di Jiu knew that even though he was very relaxed, he was still really anxious.

Bam! As the vast aura collided with him, blood shot out of his mouth. Before the aura could enter Di Jiu’s sea of knowledge, the gray stone in his sea of knowledge ford a circle of ripples and blocked the horrifying aura of the Book of the World.

Di Jiu’s ntal strength, which was also very condensed, was blocked by the book’s vast aura. After he vomited blood, he actually left his ntal strength behind in the Book of the World.

The gray-clothed man stared at Di Jiu from a distance and shook his head. Then, he closed his eyes again and began to seek enlightennt.

He realized that his ntal strength could never get within three feet of the Book of the World without getting hit by the vast aura of the book. Therefore, the Book of the World could not be refined. If one’s ntal strength couldn’t touch it, then how could one refine it?

An aura that felt like a vast sea of smoke rushed towards Di Jiu, who was shocked to feel the first row of big characters inside the book. “The world, the stars and the universe are vast. The universe may exist in any form, but it is always a composition of matter. Matter is tangible, regardless of whether it is tal, water, fire, earth, wind, snow, hail, darkness, light, ti, or space...”

Di Jiu was shocked. This was the first ti he had read such a thing. From his point of view, ti and space were intangible. Even light and darkness seed intangible to him...

The beginning of the book had already given him a big shock. Apparently, everything was tangible.
