I Have A Special Cultivation Talent Novel - Chapter 68:

Chapter 68: Restriction’s Core

He had been promoted to the Foundation Establishment Plane for quite a while.

However, Chen Jingzhai discovered that only now did he finally comprehend the power of the sky scripture.

Although he was interested in formations, he was not the kind of formation master like the disciples from Daoxuan Peak.

This was the first time he was formally attempting to lift Restrictions, and it only took him less than five minutes to have a feeling of success.

In particular, the feedback from the divine mind was extremely detailed.

When he took this feedback and combined it with the content of the Golden Kraken Silhouette Formation, something magical happened.

The weaknesses in the Restriction appeared naturally.

Furthermore, Chen Jingzhai found that he had developed a very special feeling about the Restriction.

“Is this the feeling that was talked about by formation masters?

“Is this the Restriction’s core that only true formation masters may possess?” Chen Jingzhai withdrew his divine mind and almost murmured under his breath.

…

True formation masters could both set up and break down formations.

Who could also birth the Restriction’s core?

It was similar to an affinity to the formation or even an inspiration.

This almost innate ability was the embodiment of powerful formation masters.

It was the first time Chen Jingzhai felt this way, and he was immediately fascinated.

“Little Master-Uncle?”

When Chu Jingsong saw that Chen Jingzhai had closed his eyes, he felt something was amiss.

“Lift the Restriction!”

“Blast in this direction with all your strength!”

Chen Jingzhai opened his eyes and pointed casually with his finger.

“Really?”

Chu Jingsong revealed a look of doubt.

Was he joking?!

How could the formation be lifted like that—by closing his eyes and pointing his finger casually in some random direction?

“Just trust me!” Chen Jingzhai looked at him and said very seriously.

When Chu Jingsong heard him, he had no choice but to go to the palace gate.

He settled down and urged the sky scripture. The spiritual power in his body tossed and turned like ocean waves as they converged together.

Then, he punched with all his might and blasted in the position indicated by Chen Jingzhai.

[Boom!]

A crystal clear sound was heard.

And Chu Jingsong was stunned.

This was a different feeling from his previous efforts to blast the Restrictions.

The blasts before felt extremely rough, like blasting on mountains and rocks, resulting in dull reverberations.

But this time, after he dealt the blow, the feedback sounded extremely hollow, and the sound was akin to crystal chiming.

Before he had a chance to ask, he saw a light screen revealed in front of him.

The light screen flickered for a while, and under the gaze of the two of them, it didn’t take long before it disappeared completely.

“As easy as this?” Chu Jingsong asked in a daze.

“Easy?” Chen Jingzhai shook his head. “If you don’t have me, you can bombard this area with all your strength, and you won’t be able to get anywhere. I unlocked the key to the Restriction, so it looked so easy.”

He used the setup of the Golden Kraken Silhouette Formation and, with the divine mind as a hand, unlocked the key to the first layer of the Restriction.

Otherwise, Chu Jingsong could bombard every point of the Restriction, and he would not be able to get anywhere.

This was how formation masters broke down the formation.

Ordinary cultivators could only use spiritual power to blast mindlessly.

But this was a useless strategy for celestial restrictions, not to mention Chu Jingsong was only in the Foundation Establishment Plane.

It was impossible for Foundational Cultivators to lift the celestial restriction.

Unless it was Chen Jingzhai who had found a way to do precisely that.

It was not even the orthodox way to lift any Restrictions.

The conventional method of lifting the Restriction required cultivation in the Spirit Plane and at least a Grade 5 formation master.

This was because Chen Jingzhai found its weakness and took full advantage of it.

“So this is it!” Chu Jingsong nodded, accepting Chen Jingzhai’s explanation.

Previously, he had struck under Sun Changrong’s guidance, which was useless against the first Restriction.

But under Chen Jingzhai’s casual pointing, he was able to break it down.

The difference was too glaring to be ignored!

This only made Chu Jingsong trust Chen Jingzhai’s ability even more.

Next, Chen Jingzhai continued to crack down on the second Restriction.

The Restriction at this level was more complicated, and Chen Jingzhai was unable to lift it in a short time.

Chu Jingsong waited a little longer than last time and was getting impatient. Finally, he decided to check on Li Yifei’s progress.

It turned out that Jiang Youning and Li Yifei were blasting the Restrictions in unison.

It seemed that they hadn’t even gotten past the first Restriction.

This pleased Chu Jingsong to no end. It seemed that he had made the right choice.

When they discovered that Chen Jingzhai had successfully lifted the first Restriction, everyone was extremely surprised.

Li Yifei couldn’t believe it, so he went straight to the west gate.

Immediately, he saw Chen Jingzhai open his eyes.

“Little Master-Uncle!” Sun Changrong also came over.

“Oh, wait a moment!” Chen Jingzhai nodded. “Chu Jingsong can make his move now.”

“Where?” Chu Jingsong asked excitedly.

“Blast these two areas at the same time.” Chen Jingzhai pointed in two directions.

Chu Jingsong nodded and urged the sky scriptures with all his might.

A gigantic blue whale’s head appeared behind him.

A powerful force gathered by his hands then blasted the two places simultaneously.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the second layer of Restriction broke wide open.

It was more abrupt than the one before. It was destroyed with what seemed like just a mere touch.

“How is that possible?” Sun Changrong looked at the scene in astonishment.

He wouldn’t have waited this long if the Restrictions here were so easy to lift.

“It’s the Restriction’s core,” Li Yifei said bitterly. “Little Master-Uncle has already grasped the Restriction’s core and has mastered a wondrous method of cracking the code, which is very unusual.”

When he first arrived, he had turned on his astral vision.

And he could see what Chen Jingzhai was doing very clearly.

Although he could not fully understand it, he was able to quickly put two and two together with his knowledge.

“Even the Restriction’s core is not that powerful,” Sun Changrong looked at Chen Jingzhai fervently. “Master-Uncle, what kind of powerful method are you using?”

“Previously, in the secret zone, I found the cave residence and gained some knowledge regarding formations,” Chen Jingzhai said nonchalantly. “I was also able to identify this place as the side residence left by Hongdu Immortal.”

“Hongdu Immortal? That sounds familiar!” Li Yifei frowned.

“36-level Hongdu Celestial Cloud Restriction!” Sun Changrong was stunned. “This was an ancient immortal, whose Small Heavens Cloud Forbidden Technique is the inherited restricted formation of the Soaring Clouds Clan.”

“I remember now,” Li Yifei suddenly realized everything. “The founder of the Soaring Clouds Clan was known as the disciple of Hongdu Immortal, who inherited the Small Heavens Cloud Forbidden Technique and the 36-level Hongdu Celestial Cloud Restriction, both of which became the laying foundation of the clan.”

“Soaring Clouds Clan… isn’t the foundation of that clan based on the relationship between clouds and mists?” Chu Jingsong asked.

“Technically speaking, it is the celestial clouds,” Jiang Youning added from the side. “Clouds and mists are just the appearance. But, in reality, they are Restrictions from which various lineages have derived, such as the path of elixir alchemy, the path of item alchemy, formations, cave residences, and the cloud swords.”

“No need to get into it too much,” Chen Jingzhai said. “It’s a rare opportunity. We will lift the Restrictions first. Once all seven Restrictions at this side residence have been lifted, the inheritance could be obtained. If three Restrictions have been lifted, we can gain entry into it.”

“It’s all thanks to Master-Uncle’s methodology!” Sun Changrong said with a smile. “Junior Brother Li has already lost this round.”

“I admit defeat. Master-Uncle’s skills are superb, and I simply cannot compare.” Li Yifei clasped his hands in salute.

“Awesome!” Chen Jingzhai laughed. “Then you can watch me lift the Restriction, and I will work together with disciple nephew Chu. This third Restriction is not so easy.”

“All right!” Everyone responded in unison.

With the celestial restriction before them, none of them could do much. So they thought they needed to summon the elders.

Now Chen Jingzhai, their Little Master-Uncle, was actually able to lift these Restrictions.

That alone was impressive beyond imagination.

Not to mention, after lifting the Restriction, there may be rich rewards yet to be reaped.

Even Li Yifei, as arrogant as he was, had to bow his head in defeat.

Of course, what he valued more was Chen Jingzhai’s methods.

So, after consulting Chen Jingzhai and obtaining his consent, he stood behind Chen Jingzhai and used his astral vision to watch Chen Jingzhai lift the third Restriction.
