Fake Husband of the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 552: Grace of Creation

Reese and his brother showed ecstatic expressions on their faces after the Formation was completely broken.

He immediately clasped his fists and bowed to Gu Feng, "I thank you for your generosity, Senior. We, the Fulman family, are as good as our word and will honor all the rewards listed in the bounty."

Gu Feng saw that Reese was so eager to make his stance clear before even entering the Cave Mansion, obviously worried that Gu Feng might be interested in the treasures on the opposite side.

If Gu Feng chose not to leave and decided to compete with the brothers, Reese felt he probably wouldn’t be confident he could suppress Gu Feng.

"I have no interest in the things on the opposite side." Gu Feng stood with his hands behind his back; inside the Cave Mansion indeed lay the Emperor-level Secret Techniques left by Cultivators who had fallen as sacrifices in bygone days.

He wasn’t in a hurry to leave because there was a guardian spiritual beast inside.

Don’t underestimate those beast species that survive in the Cultivation World.

They may not possess the powerful intelligence of humans that allows them to defy nature and comprehend the Heavenly Dao.

But it’s precisely because they have simple minds and strong limbs that their Combat Power can be developed to an ultimate extreme.

For instance, on the absolute strength damage value board, Cultivation Beasts of the same level are difficult for cultivators to match.

A cultivator, unless equipped with powerful Magic Artifacts, Magical Treasures, Secret Techniques, and such, is hardly able to fend off attacks from a Cultivation Beast of the same tier.

As for the classification of the beasts, there are Barbaric Beasts, Fierce Beasts, Wild Beasts, spiritual beasts, Immortal Beasts, and Divine Beasts.

Typically, those below the Nascent Soul Stage, which exist in the First Plate World, are Barbaric Beasts.

The Fierce Beasts’ typical Cultivation lies within the Fourth to Tenth Layer Heaven; Wild Beasts span the 11th to 19th Layer Heaven; spiritual beasts’ Cultivation resides between the 20th and 28th Layer Heaven; Immortal Beasts exist in the Sixth Plate.

This Cave Mansion harbored a 24th Layer Heaven spiritual beast as its guardian.

The owner of this Cave Mansion was once a 24th Layer Heaven peak powerhouse of the Fourth Plate continent.

Why are there so many secret Cave Mansions on the Fourth Plate continent that even high-level cultivators like Zhang Ruokai have difficulty entering?

This has some connection with the history of these Cave Mansions.

Don’t forget that in the Original World, there used to be even higher-order cultivators, even reaching the summit with 18 individuals at the 34 Layers of Heaven!

And they, too, had evolved step by step.

Those dangerous Cave Mansions in the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Plate worlds that are perilous for someone like Zhang Ruokai are, in fact, safe family estates built and established by these high-order cultivators for their descendants.

The principle of "when one achieves the Dao, even their pets ascend" holds true throughout the ages; every time these high-level cultivators reached a pinnacle, they would give back to their descendants.

It’s like how Earth is a three-dimensional Dimension Planet but guarded by that barrier established by God Gu Feng, the creator. If no other deity of the same level interferes, it’s also unbreakable, all following the same principle.

"Are you sure you don’t need my help until the very end?" Gu Feng asked indifferently.

As soon as his words fell, with the Formation broken, the 24th Layer Heaven spiritual beast inside was indeed startled and instantly appeared in front of the four with a blink of Instant Teleportation.

It was a Green Python Jiao Dragon.

It opened its huge mouth ferociously, as if it could tear apart the space around it for a hundred meters.

Like a mini black hole, a force of devouring suddenly swept toward Gu Feng and the others.

But Gu Feng just stood still, shielded Kubo within his protection, and the force of devouring somehow failed to affect the space around him at all.

On the contrary, Reese and his brother were pulled toward it like a magnet, losing their balance and almost exhausting all their strength to escape from the mouth of the Green Python Jiao Dragon.

But just as they flew out of the vortex and had yet to stabilize themselves, they were blown away by the gust of a tail swing from the Jiao Dragon.

The two coughed up blood, were violently smashed against a mountain peak, and the entire mountain was pierced through by the powerful inertial force and subsequently collapsed.

Keep in mind this is the Fourth Plate world, where all matter’s density and structure are incomparable to those of lower-dimensional substances.

Why Reese and the others still needed to fly when they arrived at this plate was because in this continent, akin to the Core Formation Stage on Earth, the high-quality space around them posed restrictions.

Therefore, the fact that the tail of this Jiao Dragon caused such massive damage to Reese and the others showed how terrifying its combat power was.

And what was even more frightening was that this Jiao Dragon, which held the peak combat power of this plate, was actually capable of instant teleportation.

After swatting the Reese brothers away, it knew to seize the opportunity and press its advantage by following up on its attack.

The next second, before Reese could react, he found that the Jiao Dragon had already teleported in front of him.

One at the 21st Layer Heaven realm, the other at the 24th, the gulf between the two was such that even if Reese were provided with Immortal-level magical treasures, it would likely still be difficult for him to overcome.

"Senior, save me!" In desperation, Reese blurted out involuntarily.

The next second, the Jiao Dragon’s gaping maw, which was about to snap shut over him, suddenly seemed to freeze in place.

The entire space appeared as if it had been frozen.

Aside from the Jiao Dragon’s crimson eyes, larger than a human’s, which were still moving, its hundred-meter-long body was fixed in place, with not even the whiskers that were close to transforming it into a dragon stirring.

"Big brother!" Seeing that their Family Head had nearly been swallowed whole, Reese’s brother immediately flew over and pulled the former out of the Jiao Dragon’s mouth: "How are you?"

Reese took a huge breath, still in shock.

When the Jiao Dragon had opened its mouth earlier, its swallowing force had completely enveloped the injured Reese, rendering him utterly immobile.

This feeling was like the Space Power from a higher dimension limiting his freedom.

And so, he could only subconsciously move his lips to cry for help.

Thankfully.

"Thank you, Senior, for your lifesaving intervention." Seeing that the Jiao Dragon had been frozen, Reese immediately expressed his apologies and gratitude towards Gu Feng.

At the same time, he was profoundly astounded by Gu Feng’s strength.

This 24th Layer Heaven spiritual beast, in its berserk state, had combat power that was comparable to a cultivator at the early phase of the 26th Layer Heaven.

Considering that the Fourth Plate allowed only up to the 24th Layer Heaven cultivator quality, it might take dozens of extreme 24th Layer peak cultivators combined to slay this Jiao Dragon.

Thinking of this, Reese felt fortunate that such a senior had come today; otherwise, had it been a different group, even if he brought ten 24th Layer peak cultivators, they might not be able to emerge unscathed, and might even be robbed of their entire backpacks by this Jiao Dragon.

The Fulman family would likely go bankrupt just from making reparations.

That was also the reason for his shock at Gu Feng’s power.

With the power of a single individual, he was able to effortlessly suppress a berserk 24th Layer Heaven spiritual beast.

Gu Feng paid no attention to the Reese brothers, took out a Beast Taming Ring, and captured the Green Python Jiao that had grown over countless years.

He then said to the Reese brothers, "It’s safe now, there is indeed an Emperor-level Secret Technique inside, go take it."

The Reese brothers were overjoyed and became even more respectful towards Gu Feng’s principles: "Thank you so much, Senior... "

Before they could finish their thanks, they saw Gu Feng, along with Kubo, vanish!

Reese’s brother expressed his admiration: "Who is this senior, and where does he come from? From his words, it seems that even an Emperor-level Secret Technique is not enough to catch his eye."

Emperor-level is already considered the highest tier of secret techniques known in the entire Cultivation World.

Perhaps the Sixth Plate has Immortal-level techniques.

But so far, no cultivator has been able to successfully acquire treasure from that plate.

Any of the Immortal Beasts starting from the 29th Layer Heaven there is beyond the capabilities of Zhang Ruokai and his peers to match.

Reese also felt genuine admiration and said: "Our Fulman family owes this senior a huge debt of gratitude for the fortune he bestowed upon us."
