My Sexy CEO Wife

Chapter 336 - 333 Sound Playback

"Alas..."

A sudden sigh echoed through the hall, filled with age and a forlorn air.

"Who's there! Who is it!" Gao Fei's complexion changed.

Jiang Qilong was also startled, stepping back several paces and then taking a defensive stance, his eyes sweeping around.

"Mortals cultivate immortality, pursuing longevity, but who knows that the path to becoming an immortal has been severed, and mortals, no matter how hard they try, cannot become immortals." The aged voice reverberated back and forth in the hall.

"Who is speaking? Could you please show yourself?" Gao Fei asked politely.

"Mortals cultivate immortality, pursuing longevity, but who knows that the path to becoming an immortal has been severed, and mortals will never become immortals, no matter how hard they try."

"Mortals cultivate immortality, pursuing longevity, but who knows that the path to becoming an immortal has already been severed..."

"Mortals cultivate immortality..."

The old voice kept repeating the same sentence.

"Something's odd," Jiang Qilong said in a deep voice. "The other party keeps repeating the same sentence... the tone and intonation are exactly the same..."

"Senior? We mean no offense," Gao Fei called out loudly. "We entered here inadvertently. If you are displeased, we will leave immediately."

"Mortals cultivate immortality, pursuing longevity..."

"Please, senior, reveal yourself."

"Mortals cultivate immortality, pursuing longevity..."

"Senior..."

"Mortals cultivate immortality, pursuing longevity..."

...

"Something's not right," Gao Fei slowly furrowed his brows. "Something's very wrong; we might have been deceived."

"Deceived?" Jiang Qilong was taken aback. "What do you mean?"

"There's no one here."

"But someone was clearly speaking, weren't they?"

"It must be a kind of playback, an echo of a voice."

"Playback?"

"You can think of it as a kind of divine skill."

"Divine skill?"

"Here's what I think. Some years ago, a senior used great divine power to preserve their voice. Whenever someone enters this hall, that senior's voice would play..."

"What purpose did he have in doing this?"

"To hint, or rather, to warn."

"Warn?"

"Listen closely... Mortals cultivate immortality, pursuing longevity, but who knows that the path to becoming an immortal has already been severed, and mortals, no matter how hard they try, will never become immortals... The senior is using this method to tell the later generations...

the path to becoming an immortal is severed, mortals will never become immortals, no matter how hard they try." Gao Fei enunciated every word.

"That's impossible, right?" Jiang Qilong's face twitched. "How could the path to becoming an immortal be severed? This is absolutely impossible! It has been passed down since ancient times that if one cultivates to the Tribulation Crossing Period Great Perfection, they will face the Great Heavenly Tribulation, and upon overcoming it, they will be reborn and ascend to the Immortal Realm."

Gao Fei turned, looking solemnly at Jiang Qilong: "Let me ask you, have you ever seen someone ascend to the Immortal Realm with your own eyes?"

Jiang Qilong shook his head: "No."

"Let me ask you again, have you heard of anyone ascending to the Immortal Realm?"

"Well... the ancient texts mention it, in the Ancient Times..."

"I'm talking about now."

"Now... I have not heard of it..." As he said this, Jiang Qilong added another sentence: "To my knowledge, it's been tens of thousands of years since anyone ascended to the Immortal Realm."

"Tens of thousands of years... It's been a long time," Gao Fei closed his eyes, gently exhaling a breath of stale air, "In tens of thousands of years, not a single person has become an immortal. Do you think that's normal?"

"This... It does seem somewhat abnormal."

"Perhaps the path to becoming an immortal has truly been severed."

"If this news were to get out, it would definitely cause a huge sensation."

"Don't rush," Gao Fei waved his hand, "This is just speculation, whether it's true or not still needs further verification."

"How do we verify it?" Jiang Qilong asked.

"The best way is to cultivate to the Tribulation Crossing Period Great Perfection, then face the Great Heavenly Tribulation. By then, we'll know if the path to becoming an immortal is really severed or not."

"Isn't that stating the obvious?" Jiang Qilong curled his lips, "We are currently at Golden Core Realm Cultivation, far from the Tribulation Crossing Period Great Perfection." He then added, "It's possible we might never cultivate to the Tribulation Crossing Period in this lifetime."

Gao Fei let out a bitter smile, "This so-called Immortal Palace! It's all flashy and eye-catching on the outside, but the inside is a completely different scene, the contrast is just too great."

"This Immortal Palace... is not a real Immortal Palace... It just bears the name of one," Jiang Qilong said in a twisted way.

"All for naught," Gao Fei sighed, "I thought I had stumbled upon a great deal, but who knew..."

"We still made some gains," Jiang Qilong said, "At least we discovered a great secret about becoming an immortal."

"Let's look around some more, maybe there are treasures hidden in other places."

"That's what I was thinking too."

For the next period of time, the two began to wander around the Immortal Palace.

"Did we really come here for nothing?" Jiang Qilong was somewhat unwilling to accept that.

"Eh? What is that?" Gao Fei suddenly voiced his surprise.

"What? What did you find?" Jiang Qilong asked urgently.

Gao Fei took a few steps forward, then pressed a few spots on the wall, "Click, click, click..." The smooth and even wall suddenly began to tremble, slowly moving to one side under Jiang Qilong's astonished gaze.

"How did you discover this?" Jiang Qilong's face was full of surprise, "How did you know that this wall could move?"

"You want to know?"

"Of course I want to know."

"Really want to know?"

"Yes!"

"Sorry, I can't tell you."

"Are you playing with me!"

...

As the wall moved aside, it revealed a hidden chamber with an iron rack placed inside it. On the rack, there were several small boxes.

"It's not another illusion, is it?" Jiang Qilong murmured.

Gao Fei's eyes flashed, "It's not an illusion! This time it's real!" While he spoke, Gao Fei stepped into the hidden chamber.

"Not an illusion?" Jiang Qilong's spirits lifted, and he hurriedly rushed into the chamber, "Wow, it's really not an illusion!" He stretched out his hands and firmly grasped the iron rack, "Haha… We finally found the treasure." Jiang Qilong reached for the small boxes on the rack, "Wonder what's inside these little boxes, hope they contain incredible treasures."

"Clap!"

Gao Fei slapped Jiang Qilong's hand away, "Don't touch randomly."

"What are you doing!" Jiang Qilong's eyes widened, "Are you trying to hog it all for yourself?"

"Are you brain-dead?" Gao Fei snorted, "With your clumsy hands, you want to touch the boxes, aren't you afraid of triggering some trap?"

"What trap? Don't scare me."

"Am I scaring you? I'm reminding you! This place is full of strangeness, we must be extremely cautious, don't act rashly. If we trigger any serious mechanisms, we could both die here."

"You just keep scaring me," Jiang Qilong's eyes were still wide, but his tone had softened somewhat.
