My Sexy CEO Wife

Chapter 686 Underground Adventure (Part Five)



Those who cultivate immortality pursue longevity.

Only by becoming a legendary immortal can one truly achieve eternal life.

It is said from ancient times that as long as one reaches the Tribulation Crossing Period Great Perfection, one can attract the Great Heavenly Tribulation. As long as one successfully crosses the Great Heavenly Tribulation, one will cleanse all mortal qi, undergo a complete transformation, and ascend to the Immortal Realm as an immortal. From then on, one will live forever, enduring as long as the heavens and earth.

"Immortals, they are so far beyond our reach," Gao Fei sighed lightly, "I wonder if I'll have the chance to become an immortal in this lifetime?"

"Of course, there's hope," He Hentian said, "You're young and have already cultivated to the realm of Unity of Heaven and Man, which shows that you have exceptional talent for cultivation and good luck. As long as you don't give up and keep striving, sooner or later you'll ascend to the Immortal Realm and become an immortal. I have confidence in you."

"It's not as simple as you think, the Immortal Realm..."

"What about the Immortal Realm?"

"Oh, it's nothing."

"Why do you hem and haw when you talk? Are you hiding something from me?"

"No, don't overthink it."

Gao Fei had intended to tell He Hentian about the severed path to immortality but on second thought, what use was there in telling him? It would be of no use at all, would it? It would only cause panic for He Hentian! And if He Hentian went around talking about it recklessly, it might even trigger a huge disaster. So, Gao Fei decided to keep it to himself.

Half an hour later, all the black ants were eaten by the drug-absorbing bugs.

Hundreds of drug-absorbing bugs fluttered in the air, each with a swollen belly, having had their fill for the day.

"Eh? These little bugs seem to have grown bigger?" He Hentian said in surprise, "I'm not seeing things, am I?"

"The black ants were no ordinary ants, so it's natural for them to grow after eating them," Gao Fei said with a wave of his hand, gathering the hundreds of drug-absorbing bugs.

"Where did you get these bugs from? Can you get some for me too?" He Hentian asked with envy.

"It's not that I don't want to help you, it's that I can't," Gao Fei shrugged helplessly, "These bugs are a legacy from ancient times, and there are only so many left."

"What a pity, such a pity," a look of disappointment crossed He Hentian's face.

"Come on, don't feel sorry for yourself. Let's get our spirits up and hunt for treasures," Gao Fei gestured to Li Fire, which immediately turned into a thin line and flew into his mouth before hiding inside his body.

For the next while, the two started their search for treasures.

And indeed, they found quite a few things—treasures, books, elixirs, and some strange and curious metals that greatly intrigued Gao Fei. He squatted down and began to study the metals closely. These metals looked extraordinary; perhaps they could be used to repair the bronze coffin?

While Gao Fei was studying the metals, He Hentian wasn't idle either. He picked up a treasure and inspected it, "These are just low-level treasures, and they've lost their spirituality. They're unusable." He tossed the treasure aside, then went through the books, "Hmm, these are books from ancient times, the content is complex, with records of many strange and wonderful events. Ah, these books could be brought out to read and pass the time. If we're lucky, we might even discover some amazing secrets in them." The books were useful and needed to be kept safe.

He Hentian then began to examine the elixirs. There were eight bottles in total. He casually picked up a bottle, opened the lid to look and smell, and his brows furrowed, "What a letdown! These elixirs have all dissolved. Probably because they've been stored too long and are past their expiration date; they've turned into liquid." He Hentian opened all the remaining bottles to find, without exception, that the elixirs in each bottle had turned to water.

"Crash!"

In his anger, He Hentian threw the eight elixir bottles onto the ground, "What garbage! This is infuriating!" He Hentian walked over to Gao Fei, "Did you figure anything out?"

"You came at the right time. Do you recognize any of these metals?" Gao Fei asked.

He Hentian shook his head, "I don't recognize a single one, but I can feel... these metals are not ordinary." While speaking, He Hentian reached out and knocked on the metals: "They should be top-quality materials for artifact refining."

"That thing, I've taken a fancy to these metals, can you give them to me?"

"You've taken a fancy again?"

"Ah, I'm really interested in these metal items, can you part with them?"

"How about this, the metals for you, the books for me, we'll split it this way, you have no objections, right?"

"No objections, of course, no objections," Gao Fei nodded hurriedly. "Those are ancient books, they record a lot of things from Ancient Times, there might be many secrets, of extraordinary value, far surpassing that of these metals, you're definitely not at a loss."

Gao Fei quickly gathered up the metals, afraid that if he was a moment late He Hentian might have second thoughts.

He Hentian walked over, collected the books, and then the two continued their treasure hunt.

"This should be the Main Tomb Chamber, right? Why haven't we seen a coffin?" Gao Fei frowned. "Logically, the coffin should be placed in the Main Tomb Chamber, right?"

"Three possibilities," He Hentian held up three fingers and began to show off his knowledge, "First, this isn't the Main Tomb Chamber, so we don't see a coffin. Second, the tomb owner's temperament was different from others, and he placed the coffin somewhere else. Third, the tomb owner wasn't buried here after death, so there's no coffin." With that, He Hentian paused, "Which possibility do you think is most likely?"

"You've really stumped me," Gao Fei said with a wry smile as he shook his head. "I think all three possibilities exist."

"I think the first possibility is more likely," He Hentian shared his view, "This place isn't the Main Tomb Chamber at all."

"Then where is the Main Tomb Chamber?"

"Let's keep looking, we should be able to find it."

"Search!"

The two split up and began searching for the hidden Main Tomb Chamber, examining here, patting there, checking behind the stone walls for any hidden rooms or the like. Gao Fei had recently used his Clairvoyance, but was rebuffed by a powerful force that almost injured his eyes, having taken a big loss, he dared not use Clairvoyance again.

Damn it!

This is so infuriating!

To have Clairvoyance, yet be unable to use it!

Sigh... After all is said and done, Clairvoyance is almost becoming useless, hardly having any chance to show its worth.

Maybe it's because Clairvoyance hasn't been cultivated to perfection yet? Unable to exert its greatest effect, just take it slow, and when there's time later, research more into the Demon God Heritage to see if there is a Magical Formula to enhance Clairvoyance. The Demon God Heritage is Gao Fei's biggest secret, so far he has only understood a small part of it, there's still so much he hasn't fully grasped, mainly because his cultivation is too low to fully unlock the Demon God Heritage.

Such things can't be rushed, one can only calm down and strive to improve cultivation. With higher cultivation, one can unlock the Demon God Heritage and gain supreme power.

"Thud, thud, thud."

Gao Fei knocked the stone wall a few times and then furrowed his brows: "The sound here is a bit off."

"What? Did you discover something?" He Hentian came over at the sound, "Have you found something?"

"Listen." Gao Fei knocked on the stone wall, "Doesn't the sound seem a bit odd?"

"It is a bit odd, not very obvious, you get up, let me smash it open and see." He Hentian, accustomed to using brute force, would directly take action upon spotting anything amiss, solving the problem swiftly and decisively.
