Chapter 588 - 585: Defying Heavenly Level Luck

There was no conversation that night.

Early the next day, Gao Fei left the royal palace.

Several days later, Gao Fei returned to the military camp and then began his closed-door cultivation.

Only by improving his strength could he better protect himself.

...

Flowers bloom in multitude, each showing its unique beauty.

Now let's talk about Dongfang Jian's situation.

Upon returning to Chaotic Wind City, Dongfang Jian began to find ways to ingratiate himself with Bai Daqing, greeting him early every morning, asking after him at noon, and accompanying Bai Daqing to dinner every evening. No matter what unpleasant words Bai Daqing said, Dongfang Jian always responded with a smile and never lost his temper.

As they say, hard work pays off for the diligent!

Through Dongfang Jian's efforts, Bai Daqing gradually accepted him.

One month later, Dongfang Jian was promoted, becoming the Grand Steward of the City Lord's Mansion, and one month after that, he was transferred to the military camp to become Wan Fuchang.

When Gao Fei learned of this, he cursed bitterly, "Having backing really does wonders; it took only two months to become Wan Fuchang!" After cursing, Gao Fei continued with his cultivation.

In two months, Gao Fei's cultivation soared, advancing from the first layer of the Soul Out of Aperture Stage to the fifth layer.

With Chen San and Liu Qing handling the affairs of the military camp, Gao Fei did not need to worry, so he had plenty of time to cultivate. After years of exploration, Gao Fei had gained new insights into cultivation; first, one must be calm and at peace during cultivation, meaning a good mood is essential for smooth cultivation; second, one must concentrate and not be distracted by stray thoughts, which is the most difficult and yet the most critical aspect; third, one must endure loneliness, as cultivation can be tedious and uninteresting, and those who cannot withstand solitude will never succeed in cultivation.

Initially, Gao Fei felt uncomfortable with cultivation, but over time, he adapted to it and grew accustomed, and then it wasn't a problem anymore.

There were countless individuals who practiced the art of immortal cultivation, yet few achieved remarkable success. First, a cultivator must not be afraid of hardship; secondly, they must possess a certain talent; and lastly, they must have a certain fortune. All three were essential, and only by fulfilling these conditions could one achieve extraordinary success.

Gao Fei was not afraid of hardships, his talent was quite good, and his fortune was defiantly heavenly. Think about it, could the fortune of someone who obtained the Demon God Heritage be poor?

After years of struggle, Gao Fei had amassed quite a fortune: the Little Thunder Temple, the Demon Sky Tower, the Bronze Coffin, the Thousand Transformations Stone, the Drug-absorbing Bug, explosive Black Spheres, Life-saving Talisman, Li Fire, the mysterious eighteen Steles, and the corpse of a real dragon... These items were all peerless treasures, and any one of them could incite a frenzied competition. Gao Fei's possession of all these items demonstrated just how good his fortune was.

In addition to these treasures, Gao Fei also knew several spells and divine skills, such as the Heavenly Eye Clairvoyance, the Heavenly Demon's Ten Transformations, the Immortal Buddha Finger, and so on.

Oh, right, there was also an immortal concealed within the Bronze Coffin, specifically an avatar of an immortal, Ximen Lie! This fellow descended into Elysium to seek the eighteen Steles and, by a twist of fate, was captured by Gao Fei and subsequently locked inside the Bronze Coffin.

Gao Fei, who was in deep meditation, suddenly had a change in expression, then opened his eyes. Just now, he had heard a call from inside the Bronze Coffin... No need to ask, it had to be a call from Ximen Lie.

"What do you want to do?" Gao Fei asked with his mental power.

"When will you release me," came the voice of Ximen Lie from inside the Bronze Coffin.

"Don't be in a hurry. When the right opportunity comes, I will naturally release you."

"The right opportunity? What is the right opportunity? Just tell me, how long do I have to wait? Give me a definite deadline!"

"Let's put it this way, I'll release you once I have the strength to suppress you."

"...And if you can't acquire the strength to suppress me?"

"I'll just keep you locked up," Gao Fei said with a smile.

"You... don't forget... I am an avatar of an Immortal... If you treat me like this... Aren't you afraid the true body of the Immortal will come down and annihilate you?"

"Scared! Of course, I'm scared!" Gao Fei smacked his lips, "The key question is... does the true body of the Immortal know that I've imprisoned you?"

"I can send a message to the true body of the Immortal... and ask him to save me..."

"Go ahead, send it, feel free to send, I definitely won't stop you."

"You..."

"The question is, can you even send the message out?" That's exactly why Gao Fei had been keeping Ximen Lie locked up and nullified his cultivation, to prevent Ximen Lie from sending messages to the true body of the Immortal.

"I..."

"Alright, enough with the nonsense! You only have one option now, and that's to obediently comply and wait. Maybe one day, when I feel like it, I might just let you out."

"..."

"Unless there's something extremely urgent, don't bother me anymore. I'm very busy every day and don't have the time to pay attention to you."

"...You're ruthless! Don't let me out, or else..."

"Or else what? Kill me? Can you do that? Alright, stop with these useless threats and go to sleep. I need to cultivate," Gao Fei cut off the connection with Ximen Lie, then closed his eyes and began to cultivate.

Nothing in the world is more important than cultivation.

Ximen Lie was like a landmine, keeping him was a huge risk, never knowing when he might explode, blowing Gao Fei to bits. The safest strategy would be to kill Ximen Lie and completely eliminate him. However, Gao Fei did not wish to do that, as he still had uses for Ximen Lie.

Firstly, Ximen Lie's mind contained many Immortal Family's Secret Techniques, and just one extracted technique could greatly benefit Gao Fei.

Secondly, the passage to the Immortal Realm from Elysium was sealed, and if Gao Fei wanted to enter the Immortal Realm, he had no choice but to rely on Ximen Lie.

Taking both factors into account, Gao Fei had to spare Ximen Lie's life.

These days, Gao Fei had been outsmarting Ximen Lie, tormenting him now and then. Initially, Ximen Lie stood firm and fought Gao Fei to the end. However, after being tormented a few times, Ximen Lie softened, no longer daring to be tough, and became much more polite when speaking to Gao Fei...

So what if he's an Immortal? He can feel fear just the same!

"Buzz, buzz!"

The Jade Pendant hanging at his waist suddenly started to vibrate. It was a Communication Jade Pendant sealed with three Mental Powers, one belonging to Gao Fei and the other two to Chen San and Liu Qing. The vibration indicated that Chen San and Liu Qing had urgent matters to discuss with Gao Fei.

When Gao Fei was in closed-door cultivation, he had specifically instructed Chen San and Liu Qing not to disturb him unless it was extremely important.

Gao Fei opened his eyes, glanced at the Jade Pendant, then got up, pushed open the door, and walked out.

Outside, the sun shone bright, and the sky was cloudless. Gao Fei stood at the doorstep, stretched his arms in a few movements, then tilted his head back, eyes slightly closed, and took several deep breaths of fresh air. "The air is certainly fresher outside." With hands clasped behind his back, Gao Fei walked with a steady gait towards the outside.

At the gate stood a figure in armor, dignified and upright, it was Chen San. Seeing Gao Fei emerge from the courtyard, Chen San immediately greeted him, "My lord, I wouldn't want to interrupt your cultivation, but..."

"What happened?" Gao Fei asked.
