My Sexy CEO Wife

Chapter 524 - 521: Knocking on the Door (Part 1)

"That's not right. If the passage from the Lower Realms to the Immortal Realm has been sealed, how did you come down here?" Gao Fei glared and asked.

"I opened up a new passage."

"Is that passage still there?"

"It vanished long ago. The passage I opened was temporary and had a limited existence."

"If I asked you to open another passage, could you do it?"

"Sure, as long as you restore my cultivation, I can do it."

"... After all that talk, it's all nonsense!" Gao Fei rolled his eyes. He had already destroyed Ximen Lie's dantian, making it impossible for Ximen Lie to recover his cultivation. Even if it were possible, Gao Fei would not agree to it. He was certain that the first thing Ximen Lie would do upon regaining his cultivation was to kill him. Gao Fei pondered for a moment then said, "So, it's impossible for mortals who want to go to the Immortal Realm?"

Ximen Lie shook his head: "Almost impossible, unless..."

"Unless what?" Gao Fei asked eagerly.

"Unless the Heavenly Emperor decrees to restore the passage from the Mortal World to the Immortal Realm."

"That's as good as saying nothing!" Gao Fei curled his lip. "That Heavenly Emperor fears another person like Lei Gong emerging from the Lower Realms. So, he will definitely not restore the passage."

"It's Lei Gong's fault. If he hadn't caused such chaos, why would the Heavenly Emperor have decreed to seal the passage?"

"Isn't there any other way?"

"No more." Ximen Lie shook his head.

"Detestable Heavenly Emperor!" Gao Fei cursed. "He ruined the dreams of countless mortals becoming Immortals all for his own selfish reasons. It's truly despicable! If I could go to the Immortal Realm, I would certainly follow in the footsteps of Senior Lei Gong and overthrow the Heavenly Emperor! Establish new rules!"

"Stop dreaming," Ximen Lie snorted. "Firstly, you won't possibly be able to go to the Immortal Realm. Secondly, even if you somehow made it to the Immortal Realm, you couldn't possibly overthrow the Heavenly Emperor! Lei Gong was so formidable, yet in the end, wasn't he played to death by the Heavenly Emperor? Throughout history, many have tried to overthrow the Heavenly Emperor, but they all failed in the end. The Heavenly Emperor is invincible."

"Just because others failed doesn't mean I will fail," Gao Fei said.

"You're just talking big." Ximen Lie mocked. "You'll never make it to the Immortal Realm in this lifetime." Speaking to this point, Ximen Lie's tone changed, "However... I might be able to give you a chance."

Gao Fei's eyebrows raised: "What kind of chance?"

"If you release me, I'll contact my true self in the Immortal Realm to open a passage for you," Ximen Lie said. "My true self is very powerful, and it is a piece of cake for him to open a passage. How about it? Do you want to cooperate with me?"

Gao Fei smacked his lips: "It's really tempting! I almost agreed to it! Luckily, I held back at the last moment! You're too cunning, exceedingly cunning." Gao Fei was no fool; he would not be tricked. Ximen Lie clearly had ulterior motives. If Gao Fei released him to contact his true self, he would surely end up with no place to be buried.

"I knew you wouldn't dare to agree." Ximen Lie said contemptuously: "Coward."

"Provocation doesn't work on me." Gao Fei waved his hand. "If you don't want to die, just stay here quietly and don't get any funny ideas." At this, Gao Fei added: "If you really anger me, I'll become the Immortal Slaughtering Person! To slaughter an immortal in this lifetime would make it worthwhile."

Ximen Lie shut his mouth, seemingly affected by Gao Fei's threat.

"Alright, I've asked enough questions for today. Rest well, I'll come see you another day." With that, Gao Fei pushed aside the coffin lid and jumped out.

"Damned bastard! Trapping me here so I can't contact my true self, what should I do..." Ximen Lie frowned deeply, "Without contacting my true self, I can't escape and seek revenge. No... I must find a way to escape... then use a secret technique to contact my true self. As long as I can get in touch with my true self, things will become much easier... perhaps even my destroyed dantian can be restored..." In the darkness, Ximen Lie's eyes flickered with vengeful light.

...

With a wave of his hand, Gao Fei made the horizontally placed bronze coffin shrink rapidly before automatically flying into the storage ring.

He walked to the window, pushed it open, and a fragrant breeze rushed toward his face. Gao Fei looked up and took a deep breath, "I finally understand what's going on; it's all connected to a person named Lei Gong... Mortals cultivate to the very end, only to discover the path to Becoming an Immortal has been severed at the moment of Ascension. How cruel..."

"Never mind, I won't think about it. My current cultivation is at the Nascent Soul Stage, and it's still a long way from Tribulation Crossing Period Great Perfection. Thinking about Ascension is premature. I'll consider it after advancing to the Tribulation Crossing Stage."

"I firmly believe that 'where there's a will, there's a way! Even if there isn't one, I will forge my own path!'

"No one can stop my steps forward! Not even the Heavenly Emperor!"

"I must go to the Immortal Realm! I must! No matter the cost, I will spare no expense!!!"

Gao Fei's eyes grew more determined, and at this moment, his mental state also began to change, becoming more solid, unbreakable, and unwavering.

...

Under a sky of blue and clouds of white.

Dressed in a flowing white robe, Shangguan Yunyue floated in the sky, holding a three-legged cauldron, her eyes slightly closed, sensing delicately.

"Found it..."

Suddendly, Shangguan Yunyue's eyes snapped open, a flicker of joy crossing the depth of her gaze: "I finally sensed it! There's no mistake, it's the aura of the Earth Core Flame. Though faint, I've definitely sensed it. It wasn't easy at all!" Shangguan Yunyue had traversed many places, flying day and night, and the hardships she suffered were indescribable. Now that she had finally sensed the aura of the Earth Core Flame, she became overjoyed. After calming her excitement, she carefully sensed the whereabouts of the Earth Core Flame while holding the three-legged cauldron: "The Earth Core Flame is in... the southeast direction..." Shangguan Yunyue took off with the three-legged cauldron, moving at an astonishing speed, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

Several days later.

Shangguan Yunyue stopped flying, her gaze sharp, staring at a courtyard in front: "The aura of the Earth Core Flame is emanating from here." Holding the three-legged cauldron, Shangguan Yunyue descended from the skies, slowly landing in the yard: "Whoever is inside, come out!"

"Creak!"

The door swung open and a man emerged, his face full of confusion: "Who's making noise out there... oh... it's you? The Palace Master of Piaomiao Palace? What brings you here?" The man was none other than Gao Fei, who looked utterly astonished. He had never dreamed that Shangguan Yunyue would come to this place.
