My Sexy CEO Wife

Chapter 640: Buddha's Shadow



"What kind of nonsense is this!" Gao Fei let out a wry smile, "Could it be that women nowadays all favor the despicable and shameless? I'm utterly convinced, completely convinced! Dongfang Jian, this guy, would stop at nothing to climb up in status! Such a person should be struck dead by lightning early on!"

"My lord, you should start preparing early," Chen San said somberly, "Now that Dongfang Jian has gained power, he will definitely give you trouble. When that time comes..." Chen San was well aware of the grudge between Gao Fei and Dongfang Jian, so upon hearing the news that Dongfang Jian was to become the Prince Consort, he hurried over to report to Gao Fei.

After pondering for a moment, Gao Fei decided to visit the imperial city and have a good talk with Emperor Dugu Jingtian. But upon further consideration, he dismissed the idea. Given Dugu Jingtian's shrewdness, it would be impossible for him not to know of Dongfang Jian's character. Since he knew and still agreed to marry his daughter to Dongfang Jian, something was off.

Forget it!

Let things be as they will!

It's not a big deal to give up being Wan Fuchang!

Elysium is so vast, could there really be no place for me to stay?

Gao Fei had made his preparations; should anything go awry, he would escape to a distant land, find a desolate place to hide, and bide his time until his strength had improved before returning for revenge.

This was the last resort and one not to be taken unless absolutely necessary.

"Alright, you can leave now," Gao Fei waved his hand, "Don't worry too much, I will be fine."

Chen San moved his mouth as if he wanted to say something more, but when he saw Gao Fei's furrowed brow, he swallowed his words, bowed respectfully, and then quietly left.

"What's been happening recently?" Gao Fei let out a slow, frustrated breath, "Why is nothing going smoothly! Am I too greedy? Wanting to Cultivate Immortality while also holding official positions, not willing to give up either..." Gao Fei paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, "In the end, it's all because my strength is too weak! If I were powerful, would Nangong Qi dare to provoke me? Would Emperor Dugu Jingtian dare to rob me? Would others dare to covet what's mine? Strength... as long as I have strength, all problems will be as easy to solve as cutting butter with a hot knife!"

Cultivation!

Gao Fei decided to enter closed-door cultivation! Everything else is illusory, only improving one's strength is the real deal!

After some thought, Gao Fei called Chen San and Liu Qing over.

"I am going to enter closed-door cultivation!"

"There are two matters that require your attention."

"First, send more people to find out the whereabouts of Shangguan Yunyue, remember, we must find Shangguan Yunyue!"

"Second, spread some rumors outside. Say that Dongfang Jian is treacherous, heartless, and utterly shameless. To become Prince Consort, he did not hesitate to divorce his pregnant wife. Such acts are an outrage to both man and the gods, an atrocity heaven and earth will not allow!"

After giving his instructions, Gao Fei dismissed Chen San and Liu Qing and then began his closed-door cultivation.

Gao Fei locked his room door, sat cross-legged on the bed, and held an amethyst in each hand, then closed his eyes and began to absorb the spiritual energy stored within the amethysts.

He was currently at the Tenth Level of the Soul Out of Aperture Stage, just half a step away from reaching the Realm of Unity of Heaven and Man. It seemed easy but was extremely difficult! First, he needed to stabilize his Dantian, then expand his Meridians, and absorb spiritual energy to replenish the consumed Qi within his body. Once the energy inside amassed to a certain level, he could try to break through the bottleneck.

Breaking through the bottleneck would allow him entry into the Realm of Unity of Heaven and Man.

Easy to say, hard to do.

Luckily, Gao Fei had ample amethysts to back him up, allowing him to cultivate fearlessly. Looking across the lands, there were very few who could cultivate using amethysts, and that Gao Fei could obtain so many so suddenly was truly extraordinary luck.

...

Myriad Buddhas Sect.

Inside a stone tower.

Shangguan Yunyue sat on the meditation cushion, her complexion pale, sweat pouring down like rain, as if she were enduring some kind of pain.

"Whoosh!"

A middle-aged monk appeared out of thin air, looking at Shangguan Yunyue with an expressionless face, "Won't you talk yet?"

"If you have the ability, just kill me!" Shangguan Yunyue gasped, "Expecting me to spill even a word... that's wishful thinking..."

The middle-aged monk furrowed his brows, "Do you think I dare not kill you? Although monks are compassionate, we can also employ Vajra methods!"

"If you want to kill me, then kill me; why all the nonsense!" Shangguan Yunyue huffed.

"Do you really refuse to hand over the Shariputra?" The patience of the middle-aged monk seemed to wane.

"I won't hand it over!"

"Good! Very good!" The middle-aged monk nodded slowly, "Then continue to endure the baptism of true Buddhism! I want to see how long you can last!" Leaving behind those words, the middle-aged monk stormed off in a huff.

"Hoo..." Shangguan Yunyue exhaled a breath of turbid air, her face growing even paler, "Thinking I will submit... in your dreams... even in death... I will not submit... Ah!" Shangguan Yunyue groaned in pain, her expression one of great suffering, "Damn bald donkey! Once I break free, I will surely annihilate all of you!"

"Om, mani, padme, hum..."

Atop the stone tower, a Buddha figure suddenly appeared, shining with golden light, hands joined in prayer, lips opening and closing, uttering six syllables. These were no ordinary words—they were the Six Syllables of Truth in Buddhism, each syllable containing powerful strength.

"It's starting again!" A flicker of fear crossed Shangguan Yunyue's eyes, then she laughed miserably, "I must have really bad karma to be bullied by a bunch of bald donkeys like this!"

"Om, mani, padme, hum!"

The Six True Words spilled from the Buddha's lips, turning into invisible forces and attacking Shangguan Yunyue.

"Pfft! Pfft pfft!"

"Argh!"

Shangguan Yunyue's body began to tremble uncontrollably, making strange sounds of pain. Cold sweat ran continuously down her forehead. At this moment, it felt like billions of ants were crawling and biting inside her body, a pain that was indescribable with words.

"Thump!"

Shangguan Yunyue fell to the ground, curling up her body, fists clenched, teeth chattering. She silently encouraged herself: Endure it! You must endure! What is this pain? Just endure and it will pass! At worst, it's but death!

...

Two monks stood outside the stone tower, a middle-aged monk and an elderly monk. The middle-aged monk, Xuan Ming, was the Head Elder of the Elder Council, and the elderly monk was Abbot Xuan Si.

In front of them floated a bronze mirror through which the situation inside the stone tower could be clearly seen.

"This Shangguan Yunyue is quite tenacious," Abbot Xuan Si frowned, "To have endured the attacks of the Six True Words for so long, is she not remarkable?"

"Just a bit strong-willed," Xuan Ming said blandly, "Give her a few more days, and she will surely bow her head." Saying this, Xuan Ming added, "No one can withstand the attacks of the Six True Words! They are the essence of Buddhist law, each word containing great power, and together, they can change the color of the heavens and the earth."

"The Six True Words are indeed mighty, but it's a pity we can only comprehend a fraction of them," Abbot Xuan Si sighed lightly, "We cannot unleash the full power of the Six True Words." This was Xuan Si's biggest regret. Over the years, he had been pondering the Six True Words, but unfortunately, his gains were limited.

Legend had it that the Six True Words were passed down by Buddha himself, "Om, mani, padme, hum" represented the highest divine realm of Buddhist law. If one could fully comprehend these six words, they could become a Buddha on the spot! Of course, this was just a legend, and whether it was true remained unknown.

But one thing was certain—the Six True Words indeed contained tremendous power!
