My Sexy CEO Wife

Chapter 496 - 493: Avatar Descends

Eighteen steles flew out from the storage ring, then they gently landed on the floor.

Each stele bore an ancient character, and when these characters were put together, they formed a sentence: "When the eighteen steles gather, they vanquish immortals and demons alike, command the Three Realms, and none dare disobey!"

"Command the Three Realms, and none dare disobey! What a grand statement!"

"Is it true? Or is it just bragging?"

"I guess there's more bragging to it, how could eighteen steles alone command the Three Realms? Impossible!"

After studying for a while, Gao Fei stored the eighteen steles again, flicked his wrist, and two bulging storage bags suddenly appeared in his palm, and it was clear that they contained a great deal of items.

At this moment, Gao Fei's expression suddenly became excited, he took a deep breath, and then reached out to open the two storage bags; the first one contained Spirit Stones, exactly one hundred million! The second bag was filled with a heap of Amethysts, totaling ninety thousand pieces.

All these Spirit Stones and Amethysts were extorted, representing a significant windfall.

A few days before, Gao Fei had kidnapped a group of dissolute scions in the imperial city, then extorted from their parents one hundred million Spirit Stones and one hundred thousand Amethysts, of which ten thousand Amethysts were given to Zhao Dahai at the entrance of the eastern gate of the palace, in exchange for news of the Emperor.

"One hundred million Spirit Stones, ninety thousand Amethysts, enough for me to cultivate for several years," Gao Fei grinned with a smile: "When there's a chance in the future, I'll pull off another heist! I'll target those misbehaving scions. On the one hand, I can eliminate a scourge for the people, and on the other hand, I can extort a large amount of Spirit Stones and Amethysts."

Although he had gone through many dangers during this period, he also received many rewards. After careful consideration, Gao Fei came out ahead.

He put away the Spirit Stones and kept the Amethysts for cultivation.

With Chen San and Liu Qing managing the affairs of the military camp, Gao Fei didn't need to worry at all, so he had plenty of time to cultivate. Up until today, Gao Fei had firmly established himself in Elysium, with Bai Daqing covering him from above and Chen San and Liu Qing supporting him from below, Gao Fei's life would become more comfortable by the day.

...

Flowers bloom one after another, each displaying its own branch.

Next, let's talk about Dongfang Jian.

After days of cultivation, Dongfang Jian also successfully advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage, his strength greatly increased, as did his mental state — a world-shaking change.

In the recent period, Dongfang Jian spent his days cultivating and his nights refining the Spiritual Treasure Black Evil Gourd. With his unremitting efforts, the Black Evil Gourd finally began to accept him, however... due to Dongfang Jian's low cultivation, he still couldn't manipulate the Black Evil Gourd and had to wait for his cultivation to increase before he could control it.

That afternoon, the wooden man found Dongfang Jian (inside the wooden man resided a wisp of a soul, which was the soul of Niu Tian, the first ancestor of the Niu Family; after Niu Tian had failed in his Tribulation Crossing, he used a secret technique to escape with a wisp of his soul, which then took residence within the wooden man). The wooden man had placed the hope of reviving the family on Dongfang Jian, which was why he spared no effort to help Dongfang Jian cultivate.

For the moment, the wooden man was quite satisfied with Dongfang Jian's performance.

"My disciple," the wooden man shook the white paper in his hand: "I have already read through this 'Merciless Decision', and indeed, it has its unique aspects." A few days ago, Dongfang Jian had transcribed the 'Merciless Decision' he had previously cultivated and given it to the wooden man, hoping to get some guidance and to determine whether it was worthwhile to continue cultivating it.

"So, I can continue cultivating it?" asked Dongfang Jian.

The wooden man nodded: "Yes, you can cultivate it! Once you cultivate the 'Merciless Decision' to a Profound Realm, you will reap unexpected effects, however..." He suddenly stopped speaking at this point.

"However, what?" Dongfang Jian asked eagerly.

"Cultivating the 'Merciless Decision' will make you become cold-hearted and ruthless."

"I know that."

"The ruthlessness I'm talking about isn't for show, it comes from the heart—real cold-bloodedness and mercilessness! No regard for any kinship!"

"As long as it can enhance my strength, I can bear any cost." Dongfang Jian said with absolute certainty. All he wanted was to quickly increase his power, and then seek revenge on Gao Fei! Even after so much time had passed, his hatred for Gao Fei hadn't diminished in the slightest. As long as Gao Fei lived, Dongfang Jian would not be happy.

"Good, as long as you have this perseverance, that's great." The wooden man nodded in satisfaction. "Having perseverance is what enables one to go farther on the path of cultivation. Work hard, you will definitely become one of the top figures in Elysium." Setting down Merciless Decision, the wooden man then walked away with a swaying gait.

Dongfang Jian picked up the Merciless Decision on the table, his eyes cold and his expression fierce, "Gao Fei! I will kill you!!!"

...

"Boom!!!"

A massive explosion suddenly occurred in the skies above Elysium. Strong winds arose, thunder flashed, and the skies turned gloomy, resembling the end of the world.

Anyone who saw this scene was terrified. What was happening? What had occurred?

Some observant people noticed... A rift had torn open in the sky, and a blinding light had travelled from far beyond into Elysium. In an instant, the blinding light vanished, the rift in the sky slowly closed, the explosion sound disappeared, the fierce winds ceased, the thunder dissipated, and the skies regained their brightness—everything returned to normal, as if everything that had just occurred was an illusion.

No!

This was definitely not an illusion!

It was real!

People from the Human Territory, demons from the Demon Territory, and members of the Demon Clan all gathered together to discuss what had just happened.

After much discussion, nobody could figure out what had happened, and in the end, they could only conclude that it was a "strange natural phenomenon beyond human comprehension."

Tens of thousands of miles away, atop a high mountain.

The dazzling light that had vanished now descended from the sky, settling firmly on the mountain peak. As the light faded, a man dressed in a robe appeared.

"The spiritual energy here is so weak." The man scanned his surroundings and then frowned: "Compared to the Immortal Realm, this place falls short by more than a little."

By now, everyone probably understands, right? Yes, the man who descended from the sky is none other than Ximen Lie, the Eastern Inspector of the Immortal Realm, or to be precise, an avatar of Ximen Lie. He came to Elysium to investigate the matter concerning the rebel Stele. Since the passage from Elysium to the Immortal Realm had been severed, Ximen Lie had to create a new path to arrive in Elysium, hence the delay.

Subjected to the spatial rules of Elysium, this avatar of Ximen Lie could at most exert the power of the Tribulation Crossing Period Great Perfection. Even so, he would be able to move unhindered in Elysium.

"This space seems quite vast."

"How to find the rebel Stele?"

"It'd be best to find some helpers..."

After pondering for a moment, Ximen Lie soared into the sky and flew away.
