Fake Husband of the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 564: Grandmaster, who is stronger between you and Emperor Zhang?
[Fourth Plate] World.
Wan Hua took Gu Feng to the Cave Mansion his family had discovered.
Gu Feng put on the mask he had worn before.
Before they arrived, he said to Wan Hua, "Your Cave Mansion has been coveted."
Wan Hua’s face changed color, cursing his own slow flight, so Gu Feng simply took him with a step that shrunk the ground into inches, instantly moving to the vicinity of the Cave Mansion tens of thousands of miles away.
Indeed, outside the Cave Mansion, two high-level Emperor Sealing Cultivators were exploring.
Clearly, they had set their sights on this Cave Mansion.
"Worthy cultivator friends, I am Wan Hua, the current Clan Leader of the Wan Family. I’m sure both of you can see the Barrier markers I’ve left outside this Cave Mansion. According to the consensus, this Cave Mansion should be considered part of the Wan Family’s domain, right?"
Those who could enter the world of the Fourth Plate were necessarily at the realm between the 20th and 24th layers of Emperor Sealing Stage.
Given the hundreds of cultivators in the current Emperor Sealing circle, everyone could recognize each other’s presence simply by hearing a name.
"So, you’re the newcomer who has just ascended to Emperor-Sealing rank?" One of them was at the 23rd layer, and the other at the peak of the 24th layer.
Seeing Wan Hua declaring his identity, they showed an indifferent expression on their faces: "You say there are marks left by your Wan Family here? We haven’t seen any. Are you mistaken?"
Wan Hua’s face darkened; the opponent’s cultivation was higher than his own, clearly an act of bullying.
These two were indeed playing dumb.
Had it been other Emperor Sealing Families caught red-handed by the rightful owner, they would have left out of shame. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
After all, ascending to the level of war amongst Sealed Emperor Families is extremely brutal, with Star Burst and various Spatial Rifts as a common occurrence.
There’s no need to fall out over an uncertain Cave Mansion.
However, Wan Hua was newly ascended to the rank of Emperor Sealing Cultivator and also someone who relied on an Honorable Secret Technique to advance, facing a considerable disdain chain among those who cultivate Emperor-level Secret Technique inheritances.
Furthermore, if you spoke humbly and politely, perhaps they would consider it.
But Wan Hua’s tone in his anxious state was not to their liking.
Thus, they couldn’t be bothered with Wan Hua; the Cultivator at the peak of the 24th layer looked down upon Wan Hua and said, "Junior, in appreciation of your talent in stepping into Emperor-Sealing rank through an Honorable Secret Technique, I won’t hold it against you. But do not humiliate yourself, better leave swiftly."
Although no one would die in the copy world, tearing off the mask is equivalent to declaring war in the outside reality.
If Wan Hua really did this, the two could exit the Original World and immediately intercept and hunt down Wan Hua at all Transmission points in the Galaxy.
"Grandmaster, this is indeed a discovery of your disciple, and the Barrier markers have been erased by them," Wan Hua quickly turned to Gu Feng, hoping he could stand up for him.
Gu Feng: "You don’t need to bother with them, just go inside the Cave Mansion and take out what you need."
Wan Hua was stunned for a moment, thinking they were blocking the way, and he would be killed in an instant.
A single Layer Heaven is a spatial gap; entering the opponent’s domain, they could crush him with Spatial Strangulation, there’s absolutely no chance for luck.
Gu Feng: "Just go."
Wan Hua nodded, his only choice was to stiffen his scalp and fly towards the Cave Mansion.
"Seeking death!"
The two Cultivators opposite turned cold in their gaze, just as they prepared to make a move on Wan Hua, they were astonished to find that their limbs and even their Divine Sense seemed to have been sealed off.
They exchanged looks with each other, their faces turning pale.
Wan Hua passed by and, seeing their struggling facial expressions and rigid movements, immediately realized something.
He was slightly delighted, then turned to look at Gu Feng, "Grandmaster, there is a Barrier inside this Cave Mansion, and I can’t break through it."
With a wave of Gu Feng’s hand, that Barrier was forcibly erased.
Wan Hua was overjoyed, and the eyes of the two cultivators who were restrained next to him revealed a look of surprise.
They had been here for several days, trying to break this forbidden barrier.
Who would have thought that this person could shatter it with just a wave of his hand?
However, the two of them remained quite composed.
Because they knew that the toughest challenge within the cave mansion was the spiritual beast nourished by the Emperor-level Secret Technique!
The Wild Beasts in these ownerless cave mansions had grown over 20,000 years, becoming more ferocious than cultivators, and completely overpowering those at the same level without any chance of resistance.
Just as the two cultivators suspected, the moment the barrier was broken, a spiritual beast with the body of a lion, the head of a dragon, and resembling a qilin, spewed out a breath of fire from the cave.
This burst of flames even caused the surrounding space to shatter.
Wan Hua couldn’t avoid it in time, a ball of flame engulfed him, but unbeknownst to him, a Light Shield formed around him and protected him.
As the fire qilin charged out of the cave mansion, roaring at all the invaders, Gu Feng pointed a finger towards the void.
Then, the qilin was also immobilized.
It could only show a ferocious expression and roar at everyone.
Seeing this, the two Emperor Sealing Cultivators were completely dumbfounded.
With joy beyond measure, Wan Hua flew past the fierce spiritual beast, entered the cave mansion under the watchful eyes of the two cultivators, and flew out happily after a while, presumably with myriad treasures.
"Grandmaster, I have taken all the treasures inside," Wan Hua said to Gu Feng.
Inside was indeed an inheritance of Emperor-level Secret Techniques.
Gu Feng nodded.
He released the two high-level cultivators’ Divine Sense and the space around their limbs.
The first thing the two did was to bow deeply to Gu Feng, "Senior, we were blind to your greatness, please forgive our rashness."
They both carried many life-bound Magical Treasures and treasures, which would all drop if they died here.
Wan Hua showed disdain for the drastic change in attitude of these two people, but inside he felt a tangible recognition of the Grandmaster’s strength.
In fact, from the cultivators’ records, the Taoist Ancestor’s strength has always been a mere concept.
Apart from that record of his fall facing eighteen powerful Star Burst Cultivators, the specifics of the Taoist Ancestor’s strength have always been vague.
And no one knew what level those eighteen Star Burst powerhouses had reached in an era where the Nascent Soul Stage was commonplace.
Now in an era where Star Burst powerhouses of more than a dozen layers of heaven are common, Wan Hua arrogantly thought that the Taoist Ancestor’s strength couldn’t be so unattainable.
Seeing the Grandmaster’s actions now, he lamented that the gap still exists.
At the very least, the Grandmaster’s Taoist Ancestor strength is above twenty-four Layer Heavens. Considering that a spiritual beast at the same level is higher than a cultivator by one level, being able to suppress a 24 Layer Heaven spiritual beast indicates the Grandmaster is at least at the threshold of the 25th or 26th Layer Heaven.
Hence, the submission of these two was a wise move.
Gu Feng couldn’t be bothered with these cultivators, and with a wave of his hand, he disappeared with Wan Hua on the spot.
Only leaving behind those two cultivators who remembered the mask Gu Feng wore.
"Such terrifying strength must belong to a senior from Emperor Zhang’s generation," the two said.
As for Wan Hua, who was full of treasures following Gu Feng, he couldn’t help but ask with curiosity, "Grandmaster, who is stronger or weaker compared to Zhang Ruokai?"
Gu Feng replied, "Why don’t you ask him?"
Wan Hua felt somewhat embarrassed: "Disciple indeed wishes to ask, but I don’t even qualify to be friends with Emperor Zhang, the gap of the One Layer Heaven is like a Galaxy chasm; those cultivators stronger than me by one level have to flatter and grovel, not to mention Emperor Zhang, who is 8 layers stronger than I am."
Gu Feng responded: "Don’t belittle yourself; that you were able to break through to become an Emperor-Sealing by relying on an Honorable Secret Technique shows your talent and excellent roots. This cave mansion was created by a cultivator of 24 Layer Heavens, so you and the Wan Family should focus on cultivating here from now on."
"Yes!" Wan Hua bowed deeply, "Disciple thanks the Grandmaster for granting this opportunity."
