Chapter 158: Black Tiger-Striped Whale

Chapter 157

A thousand-foot-long giant black tiger-striped whale swam in the blue water. The force of the water that it exhaled from its blowhole carried far into the distance.

Chen Jingzhai appeared on a nearby reef with Hei Ji and watched from afar.

“It’s a black tiger-striped whale,” said Hei Ji. “It’s only Grade 3.”

“Grade 3?” Chen Jingzhai raised his eyebrows. “But its aura is very strong. It’s no different from a Grade 4.”

“It has a lifespan of a thousand years and is a long-lived species of the sea,” Hei Ji said calmly. “Even Grade 4 sea beasts dare not provoke a black tiger-striped whale that has reached adulthood. It has immense strength.”

Its immense strength had explained everything. Even if the black tiger-striped whale was a Grade 3 sea beast, it could still resist a Grade 4 sea beast when it reached adulthood. In fact, many times, it was 70% against 30%. The other sea beasts had a 30% chance against the black tiger-striped whale.

“Is it an adult?” Chen Jingzhai asked.

“No,” Hei Ji said with certainty. “Adult black tiger-striped whales will stay in the deep sea, and their bodies will be more than a thousand feet long, reaching about two thousand one hundred feet.”

“In other words, this guy here is actually a cub.” Chen Jingzhai was speechless.

“It’s not an adult, but it is time to leave its parents,” Hei Ji said. “It’s calling for its mother, but unfortunately it’s not getting a response. It seems to be sad.”

“There are no cultivators nearby.” Chen Jingzhai retracted the probing bug.

“Even Golden Core Sages can’t stop its water cannons,” Hei Ji said in a deep voice. “It’s a ferocious beast in the sea. It just left its mother and needs guidance.”

“What do you have in mind?” Chen Jingzhai asked.

“Take it with you,” Hei Ji said, looking at him. “It will make a good underwater mount. It will complement the Sky Black Crane. I can communicate with it. It will like the seawater in the Grotto-heavens.”

“I might not be able to afford to raise it.” Chen Jingzhai rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

“The fact that it can leave the mother whale means that it doesn’t need to survive by eating,” Hei Ji said. “The essence power in the Grotto-heavens is very attractive to it. It’s the foundation of survival.”

“Then let’s give it a try!” Chen Jingzhai was convinced.

Hei Ji did not speak. She grabbed Chen Jingzhai’s arm and flew directly towards the black tiger-striped whale. Sensing that something was flying over, the black tiger-striped whale shot out a water cannon from its back. The water cannon did not go straight up. After spurting out, it would curve and hit the target.

Hei Ji leaned forward and kicked, scattering the water. Then she released her aura before the second water cannon blast attack. The unique aura from the sea beasts made the black tiger-striped whale feel a wave of familiarity.

“Before it left the mother whale, it fed on creatures from the deep. The mother whale would hunt and feed it,” Hei Ji said flatly. “I simulated the aura of the sea beast that parasitized it. This aura is also present on the mother whale, so it would think of me as the mother whale.”

“But your size is the biggest flaw,” Chen Jingzhai reminded her.

“Don’t overestimate the intelligence of the black tiger-striped whale. Its intelligence is not high.” After Hei Ji finished speaking, she did not explain further. She brought Chen Jingzhai down from the sky and landed on the back of the black tiger-striped whale.

The black tiger-striped whale sprayed water happily. The water spread across its back, forming a flower state. It was a gesture of joy and delight. As Hei Ji stroked its back, it made a low sound in response, then it listened to Hei Ji and began to swim.

“Amazing!” Chen Jingzhai looked at Hei Ji in surprise. “You’ve changed.”

“I’m not a sea beast, but a spirit deity,” Hei Ji said calmly. “Like cultivators, I can think and cultivate. I’m a new me. I’m Hei Ji.”

“That makes sense.” Chen Jingzhai nodded thoughtfully. “What should we do next?”

“Try to put it into the Grotto-heavens,” Hei Ji said. “It won’t resist.”

“Alright!” Chen Jingzhai nodded. With a single thought, the Grotto-heavens divine light quickly spread out.

The Grotto-heavens divine light fell without any discomfort. As Hei Ji had said, the black tiger-striped whale did not resist. It even stopped spraying water.

The Grotto-heavens divine light spread out for a thousand feet and covered the entire body of the black tiger-striped whale. Immediately after, the light disappeared, followed by the black tiger-striped whale and Hei Ji.

The Primordial Essence Grotto-heavens.

The black tiger-striped whale directly appeared in the seawater. The items collected by the Grotto-heavens divine light would be controlled by Chen Jingzhai. After all, he now controlled the Primordial Essence Grotto-heavens.

The black tiger-striped whale panicked a little at first, but after it quickly sensed Hei Ji’s aura, it freely explored the brand new seawater.

The sea area of the Primordial Essence Grotto-heavens was not big, and there were not many species. Especially after raising a nest of Grade 3, Grade 2, and Grade 1 sea beasts, it was even a little crowded with the arrival of the black tiger-striped whale.

However, the black tiger-striped whale did not care. After it swam on the surface of the sea, it began to breathe in and out the essence power in the air. Chen Jingzhai could clearly sense a large amount of essence power being swallowed into its stomach.

Seeing this situation, the Supreme Sky Master subconsciously injected a stream of Innate Qi. Instead of directly entering the body of the black tiger-striped whale, it spread throughout the entire sea.

The black tiger-striped whale was sensitive and immediately swallowed the seawater happily. It took the opportunity to instinctively absorb the Innate Qi and become stronger. The other creatures in the sea were also affected and began to quickly become stronger and reproduce.

“Amazing!” Chen Jingzhai said with emotion as he watched this scene.

He had not expected his wish to raise whales in his previous life to come true at this moment. The black tiger-striped whale was a ferocious beast in the sea. It was stronger than any whale in his previous life. No whale that he had encountered in his previous life could block a bump or a flick of the tail of the black tiger-striped whale.

Just as he was feeling emotional, the Supreme Sky Master returned some information. Chen Jingzhai immediately raised his eyebrows and fused with the Supreme Sky Master.

This snippet of information came from Sage Kumu’s collection. The Heavenly Wood Grand Technique that he cultivated was an unorthodox spell technique. At most, he could cultivate it to the Golden Core Plane, but there were many vicious unorthodox methods.

Among them, the Supreme Sky Master had discovered the Kumu Curse and used it as the foundation to deduce and create a brand new blood curse. This unnamed blood curse could allow Chen Jingzhai to control demon beasts.

It was as if a cultivator under the Kumu Curse would listen to Sage Kumu and could not resist at all. The blood curse deduced by the Supreme Sky Master came from the Grotto-heavens.

Demon beasts that had been cursed by the blood curse would naturally get closer to Chen Jingzhai, and they would become more and more resistant to the outside environment. They would like the Primordial Essence Grotto-heavens very much.

Moreover, the longer they lived in the Primordial Essence Grotto-heavens, the more the blood curse would invade their bodies and minds. There would be no abnormalities. They would only feel that the Primordial Essence Grotto-heavens was where they should live.

After Chen Jingzhai understood this blood curse, he secretly clicked his tongue.

He did not expect the Supreme Sky Master to be able to deduce such a thing. However, after carefully comprehending it, he did not feel that there was a need to make a fuss. This was because the foundation of this blood curse was the origin of the Primordial Essence Grotto-heavens. It was equivalent to the Primordial Essence Grotto-heavens using the blood curse to assimilate the demon beasts.

Chen Jingzhai named this blood curse the Primordial Essence Curse.

Name: Primordial Essence Curse.

Compatibility: The Supreme Sky Master used the power of the Grotto-heavens to create it based on the deduction of the Kumu Blood Curse.

Effect: Assimilate living beings for the Grotto-heavenss

Flaw: Origin Power, Power of Space and Time, etc.

The source of the Primordial Essence Curse was the Primordial Essence Grotto-heavens, so its power exceeded his expectations. After Chen Jingzhai used his special talent, he immediately condensed a Primordial Essence Curse. Then, the curse entered the body of the black tiger-striped whale.

The black tiger-striped whale did not react. The Primordial Essence Curse itself did not have much damage ability. It grew like water, slowly invading without any discomfort. In just ten minutes, the black tiger-striped whale had already fallen in love with the Primordial Essence Grotto-heavens. Moreover, it firmly remembered Chen Jingzhai’s aura.

When Chen Jingzhai summoned Hei Ji and the black tiger-striped whale, Hei Ji no longer needed to do anything and the black tiger-striped whale regarded Chen Jingzhai as the person closest to it. It even accepted Chen Jingzhai’s will and followed his instructions.

Immersed in the sea, the black tiger-striped whale swam toward the tower ship. The young black tiger-striped whale was so fast that Chen Jingzhai almost could not withstand its speed. If Hei Ji had not stepped in front of him, the massive current would have crushed him. The black tiger-striped whale was simply too fast. It was faster than the tower ship and had definitely reached the speeds of Grade 4. It was also extremely powerful. With a flick of its tail, it could create several vortexes in the water.

In just five minutes, the black tiger-striped whale brought Chen Jingzhai to the sea area near the East Pole Spirit Turtle Island. This made Chen Jingzhai gasp in amazement and surprise. It was not even dawn yet!

He wanted to continue letting the black tiger-striped whale swim two laps, but the little guy was unwilling.

Chen Jingzhai smiled silently and put the black tiger-striped whale into the Primordial Essence Grotto-heavens.

He took Hei Ji into the water and headed for the tower ship.
