I Have A Special Cultivation Talent Chapter 157 - Took Down in One Attack

Chapter 157: Took Down in One Attack

Although he despised Sage Kumu’s methods, Chen Jingzhai did not underestimate him. After all, he was a Golden Core Sage. His methods had to be copious and vicious.
However, with two Grade 4 experts by his side, Chen Jingzhai was not afraid. He had made up his mind to attack Sage Kumu. With that plan in mind, he immediately escaped from the East Pole Spirit Turtle Island with Hei Wuchang and Hei Ji.
Speed was important in battle, so he decided that it was best to just take out Sage Kumu’s hometown before he noticed that something was amiss.
This time, Chen Jingzhai did not lose his mind. This was called striking while the iron was hot.
If this happened at a time before Hei Ji appeared, even if he had magic treasures and the Primordial Essence Grotto-heavens, he would not have been so reckless. However, with Hei Ji and Hei Wuchang around, Chen Jingzhai was not afraid as long as he was not facing a Nascent Zhenjun.!!
So what if he was a Golden Core Sage?
Hei Ji had suppressed three Golden Core Sages before. These three Golden Core Sages were even from sects and clans, so their abilities were much stronger than Sage Kumu’s. Not to mention, he also had Hei Wuchang with him, in addition to Hei Ji.
According to the information given by the spirit servant, Chen Jingzhai let Hei Ji lead him through the water.
Hei Ji’s Grade 3 puppet body was a Dark-face Humanoid Puppet specially crafted by Sage Qing Mu. If not for the fact that she did not like to transform into armor so that Chen Jingzhai’s speed could keep up with the tower ship, her speed would now be at an Intermediate Grade 3 and was in fact only slightly slower than the tower ship in the water.
Hei Wuchang was stored in the Primordial Essence Grotto-heavens. As a spirit deity, he would consume his vitality the moment he came out. He was more comfortable in the Grotto-heavens.
Kumu Island was located behind Crescent Moon Bay. It was not close to the East Pole Spirit Turtle Island. The Eastern Ocean Islands had always been the westernmost end of the East Pole.
Further east was the Outer Island Chain. It was densely packed with hundreds of islands of different sizes. The majority of these islands formed a crescent shape. The East Pole Spirit Turtle Island happened to be on the front of this curvature, like a lone island. This meant that Kumu Island was to the south of the East Pole Spirit Turtle Island.
Of the hundreds of islands, Kumu Island was considered a small island. Although it was not the smallest island, its resources were not plentiful, and the scenery was not outstanding. Perhaps that was why Sage Kumu could monopolize this entire island.
The bright moon was like a disc, and the waves crashed in the sea.
Under the moonlight, Chen Jingzhai and Hei Ji stood on the waves.
In front of the two of them was Kumu Island. Unlike the East Pole Spirit Turtle Island, this island was protected by a formation. What was more, there were three levels to this formation, which covered the entire island.
“Heavenly Wood Formation!”
“Hundred Herb Mud Formation!”
“Falling Wood Slaying Formation!”
“This is indeed the doing of a wood-attribute Golden Core Sage!”
After Chen Jingzhai sensed the three formations, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. To others, formations were a headache. It was very difficult to get onto the island.
However, Chen Jingzhai was from the Daoxuan Peak and was also a formation master. In the past few years, he had studied formations a lot. He had also mastered some of the formations of the Daoxuan Peak. Not to mention, after advancing to the Intermediate Foundation Plane, he had gained the formation pattern of the Heaven and Earth Formation.
It was evident that the formations on Kumu Island were carefully set up. The Heavenly Wood Formation was a Grade 3 defensive formation that used wood energy to activate the island’s leylines. If the Power of the Leyline was not exhausted, the wood energy would be endless, and its defense would be greatly enhanced.
The Hundred Herb Mud Formation was an illusion formation. It was only a Grade 2 formation, but it hid the Falling Wood Slaying Formation. On the other hand, the Falling Wood Slaying Formation was a Grade 3 formation. It was arranged very cleverly and secretly. The three formations were partially layered and disguised each other.
Cultivators who did not understand formations were like prey that fell into a spider’s web. The more they struggled, the faster they would meet their death.
However, in Chen Jingzhai’s eyes, even a Grade 3 formation had its flaws. He waved his hand and asked Hei Ji to return to the Grotto-heavens for the time being. Then, he used a water escape to approach the island. Following that, his body fell like leaves blown by the wind. He danced lightly in the formation and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
There was nothing amiss on Kumu Island. It was quiet and a little austere. Sage Kumu had managed the island well. He had even built a small city on it. But he was a vicious Golden Core Sage in his own right, so naturally, he did not show much mercy for the cultivators on the island. Everyone on the island worked for him, and he did not even pay them in spirit shells. It was just a shelter for the cultivators, who had to pay him spirit shells regularly.
Chen Jingzhai successfully entered the island and saw many evil things. Without any hesitation, he ignored the other cultivators and entered the Golden Core Sage’s residence.
Unlike the other Sages, Sage Kumu built his mansion in an extremely luxurious manner. It occupied the core of the island and the lush mountainside accompanying it. There were no formations here, but Restrictions had been set up.
Speaking of Restrictions, what kind of Restriction could compare to the Small Heavens Cloud Forbidden Restriction left behind by a Hongdu Immortal?
Sage Kumu was just a rogue cultivator. His Restrictions were extremely crude to Chen Jingzhai, who entered unscathed. He used his Burrowing Technique to secretly find Sage Kumu. His Burrowing Technique had already reached an extremely profound level.
With the enhancement of the Dharma Intent, even Sage Kumu would find it difficult to lock onto it. Moreover, he did not detect Chen Jingzhai’s entry at all.
It was too slow for Chen Jingzhai to search alone so he summoned Hei Wuchang to help him. Hei Wuchang held the fishbone flute, and his body dissipated on the spot. Not long after, Chen Jingzhai heard Hei Wuchang’s transmitted thoughts.
He saw Sage Kumu, who was trapped by Hei Wuchang’s water technique. This was the cultivation room of the Golden Core Residence. Sage Kumu was trapped in the water prison.
Sage Kumu looked rather distinguished. He had a goatee, a tall nose, and a broad forehead. He was wearing emerald green Taoist robes. A cauldron and eight trigrams were embroidered along the wrists and back of the robes.
“Who are you? Why did you break into Kumu Island for no reason?
“I have a close relationship with Sage Chang Xiao of the Mystic Sound Pavilion. If there are any misunderstandings, you can sit down and explain!”
Sage Kumu was bound by blue water. Even his Golden Core magic powers could not break free from the restraints. A mere Beginning Golden Core Plane cultivator could easily be suppressed by a Grade 4 spirit deity’s Water Prison Technique.
Chen Jingzhai could not even be bothered to answer Sage Kumu. He directly cast the Grotto-heavens divine light. With a gentle sweep of the Grotto-heavens divine light, Hei Wuchang and Sage Kumu both disappeared on the spot.
The Supreme Sky Master threw Sage Kumu in front of the innate money tree. The first thing the innate money tree had ever absorbed was a Golden Core Sage from the Liu clan.
This time, it was unknown if Sage Kumu was resigned to his fate or if he simply matched the innate money tree’s appetite. The innate money tree extended three roots and pierced them into Sage Kumu’s body. In just a moment, Sage Kumu was reduced to dust before he could even wail.
The gold-plated coins on the innate money tree quickly expanded at this moment. They had already exceeded the size of the first blood-colored copper coin. Even so, this gold-plated coin was still not ripe. It was not time to pluck it.
Chen Jingzhai did not mind. He would let the Supreme Sky Master create a spirit deity. Then, guided by Sage Kumu, he began to sweep his gains.
Unlike the Liu clan’s Golden Core Sage who had nothing, Sage Kumu’s net worth was all on Kumu Island. Now that he was personally leading the way, it was naturally extremely smooth. Chen Jingzhai pocketed all the treasures and put away Hei Wuchang before releasing Hei Ji.
He was not prepared to let go of the group on the island. It was not for the sake of justice. He just wanted to go all out!
It was no surprise that the group of people could not resist at all when Hei Ji took action. When Chen Jingzhai left Kumu Island, the moon was covered by a thin veil of clouds.
There were no more cultivators on the massive Kumu Island, but the formation was intact. Chen Jingzhai deliberately did not destroy the formation. He had wanted to modify it, but he was afraid of giving himself away.
After all, this was the territory of the Three Great Immortal Sects of the Eastern Ocean. He could not go overboard. Therefore, he did not touch the formation. If there were no accidents, what happened on Kumu Island would go undetected for a long time.
However, what had happened on the East Pole Spirit Turtle Island probably could not be hidden from those with ulterior motives. Nevertheless, it did not matter. Chen Jingzhai did not think anyone could find any clues that led to him. Whenever he made his moves, he did not leave traces behind, unlike other cultivators.
Using the water escape spell, Chen Jingzhai prepared to board the tower ship. This time, he had gained a lot from defeating a Golden Core Sage. Just the spirit pearls and spirit shells alone exceeded ten million. There were also many spirit herbs that Chen Jingzhai had not chanced upon before. They were all unique to the Eastern Ocean.
Chen Jingzhai did not need spirit pearls and spirit shells. These things were a drop in the bucket for him.
On the other hand, spiritual herbs were more valuable to him. Other than these herbs, he also obtained elixir recipes, cauldrons, and spell techniques, among others. There were also five magic treasures, more than 30 spiritual items, and many materials and formation disks.
A massive wave of gains was still very pleasant to him. He even had the idea of continuing to strike. However, after thinking about it a few times, he could not make up his mind.
After all, the dignified Little Master-Uncle of the Luo Sheng Sword School could not be known to do such a sneaky thing. Once he was discovered, it would be very difficult to explain himself. Chen Jingzhai could not be so thick-skinned.
“Something’s happening!” Hei Ji warned at his side.
Chen Jingzhai came back to his senses and immediately refocused his attention.
He grabbed Hei Ji and disappeared silently into the sea.
