My Sexy CEO Wife-Chapter 162 - 161: Journey to Kunlun (Part 4)

The stone pillar in the middle cracked open to reveal a passageway, which led to other tomb chambers.

Gao Fei didn't hurry to enter, as he had one more task to complete.

In the four corners of the hall, there were some pottery jars, which contained abundant Spiritual Energy, definitely not something to be ignored.

Gao Fei gathered all the pottery jars together, then began to absorb the Spiritual Energy inside...

Two hours later.

Gao Fei's body shuddered, and a trace of joy crossed his face as he advanced in Cultivation! His Cultivation increased directly to the peak of the Fourth Layer of the Inedia Stage, only a paper-thin barrier away from the Fifth Layer, "This trip was really worth it!"

After the Spiritual Energy was drained, the surface of the pottery jars developed fine cracks, and their color turned even more dull.

To advance in Cultivation, one had to damage antiques, which was an unavoidable matter.

Gao Fei stood up and stepped into the stone pillar, then followed the passageway downwards...

Minutes later, a mysterious bronze door appeared ahead, over three meters high and three meters wide, carved with peculiar shapes of plants and sizable Ferocious Beasts. There were also some characters, all ancient script, none of which Gao Fei recognized.

"Huh? My Clairvoyance can't see through the bronze door!" Surprise flashed across Gao Fei's face. There was a Mysterious Power on the bronze door blocking his sight, "Interesting..." Gao Fei's eyes narrowed into slits. "It seems... this is no ordinary tomb... there are some secrets hidden here unknown to others..."

When Gao Fei tried to touch the bronze door with his hand, the moment his fingertips made contact, his expression changed instantly; he wanted to pull his hand back, but wasn't successful, as his fingers were firmly stuck to the door, no matter how hard he pulled.

At that moment, a cold force surged out of the bronze door, climbing along Gao Fei's arm and instantly freezing half of his body.

"Not good!" Gao Fei realized the danger. He desperately resisted, trying to drive away the cold force, but to no avail.

In the blink of an eye, Gao Fei was completely frozen by the cold force, his body covered in a layer of white frost, looking from a distance like an ice sculpture.

Although his body was frozen, Gao Fei's consciousness remained clear. Sudden crisis had him completely dumbfounded! In the end, he had been too careless, always assuming that with his abilities, he could move unhindered through the tomb, not expecting to be thwarted by a strange bronze door.

What to do?

How could he escape this predicament?

Gao Fei's brain whirred into action as he searched for a way to free himself.

Just then, a stream of cold air entered his head, rampaging and wreaking havoc... Gao Fei's consciousness began to blur, and he eventually lost consciousness...

...

"What place is this?"

"How come I'm lying in a coffin?"

"Damn it! What the hell is going on!"

Gao Fei climbed out of a coffin with the fastest speed possible, and as he looked around, he was completely stunned. As far as the eye could see, there were densely packed coffins, all stone coffins: "Why are there so many stone coffins?"

"Bang!"

The stone coffin next to Gao Fei suddenly cracked open, and a person rolled out. Gao Fei looked down, and his eyes instantly widened: "Mom!!!" Indeed, the person who tumbled out from the stone coffin was Gao Fei's mother.

Gao Fei quickly rushed over, caught his mother, her skin ice cold to the touch, without a hint of warmth, her face deathly pale, her eyes closed, breathless, and without a heartbeat.

Dead?

His mother was dead?

How could this be? How could his mother be dead?

"I must be dreaming! Yes, this must be a dream!" Gao Fei lifted his hand and harshly slapped his face - there was sound, and he could feel pain. This wasn't a dream, this was real, his mother really... passed away.

"Mom!"

Grief clutched at Gao Fei's heart, and tears uncontrollably streamed down as he held his mother tightly: "Mom, don't scare me! Mom! Please wake up, wake up!!! I don't want you to be dead! I can't have you die!!!"

The sudden shock caused Gao Fei unbearable pain; it was much too sudden, truly much too sudden, he had no mental preparation at all.

What broke Gao Fei's heart the most was that he didn't know how his mother died!

"Bang!"

Another stone coffin cracked open, and another person rolled out.

"Dad!!" Gao Fei shouted loudly.

The second person who rolled out of the stone coffin was indeed Gao Fei's father, stiff, face deathly pale, without breath or heartbeat.

His mother died? His father had also died?

What was going on?

"Why... why is this happening..." With his left arm around his mother and his right around his father, Gao Fei's cries were ragged with sorrow. His tears dried up, his voice turned hoarse, yet Gao Fei continued to weep, finally understanding what "overwhelming grief" truly felt like.

"Bang Bang Bang..."

Several more stone coffins cracked open, and several women rolled out from them: Su Xiaorou, Shen Caidie, Liu Mengyao, Meng Xiaoyu, and Ouyang Lan.

The five women laid side by side, all with deathly pale complexions, breathless, seemingly all dead.

"How can they be dead too..."

Gao Fei stood dumbfounded: "How could..."

His mother, his father, Su Xiaorou, Shen Caidie, Liu Mengyao, Meng Xiaoyu, Ouyang Lan... All dead, and all laid in stone coffins... This was all too coincidental...

Gao Fei realized something was amiss; he tried hard to cool himself down and then slowly pondered over the matter at hand…

"There must be a problem!"

Gao Fei activated Clairvoyance and scoped out the surrounding sarcophagi, checking to see if there were any others he recognized inside, but to Gao Fei's disappointment, a Mysterious Power on top of the sarcophagi prevented him from peering in.

Mysterious Power…

Gao Fei remembered that he had entered a tomb from the Qin Dynasty and then found a bronze door; there was a Mysterious Power on top of the bronze door… He reached out to touch the bronze door, got frozen by a cold qi, and then… he lost consciousness… When he woke up again, he found himself here.

"Why am I here?"

"Who brought me here?"

"And… what the heck is going on with my parents, Su Xiaorou, and the others?"

…

The deeper Gao Fei thought, the more he felt layers of suspicion.

"What else is hidden in these remaining sarcophagi?" Gao Fei's gaze flickered, just as he was about to take his next action, an unexpected change occurred.

"Bang bang bang… Bang bang bang…"

All the sarcophagi began to shake violently, then slowly cracked open, and one figure after another rolled out from inside… In the blink of an eye, the ground was covered with bodies, no, to be precise, covered with corpses.

Corpses lay scattered across the ground, faces upturned toward the sky.

"Father, Mother… how come there are so many..."

Gao Fei's brows slowly furrowed.

Looking around, there were at least a thousand corpses that looked just like his parents, and the rest were all copies of Su Xiaorou and the others.

"Why is this happening?" Gao Fei was baffled.

And the uncanny events kept unfolding…

The bodies on the ground suddenly resurrected, one after another standing up from the ground, calling Gao Fei's name.

Gao Fei felt like his scalp was going to explode, Damn it! How can someone be this tormented!

Suddenly, a dense fog rose from the ground, quickly enveloping everyone, and when the fog dispersed, Gao Fei was stunned; the bustling scene had vanished, with thousands vanishing to leave only a few individuals… To be exact, there was only one of his mother left, one of his father left, and only one of Su Xiaorou and the others…

"Now that's normal." Gao Fei let out a breath of relief.

"Xiao Fei, you must leave," his mother suddenly said anxiously, "Leave this place quickly!"

"Why tell me to leave?" Gao Fei asked, puzzled.

"It's dangerous for you to stay here, hurry up and go," his mother urged.

"Danger? What danger?" Gao Fei frowned, "If we're going, we go together. I can't possibly abandon you all."

"Rumble..."

Just then, the ground suddenly shook as a herd of long-haired monsters came running, massive in size and frighteningly fast.

"We'll hold off these monsters, you run," his parents said, charging without hesitation.

"Gao Fei, get out of here!" Su Xiaorou and the others also rushed toward the monsters, using their bodies to fend them off for Gao Fei to gain time to escape.

Could Gao Fei really escape alone? The answer was no! He roared furiously, with fists clenched, charging at the monsters, "If we live, we live together! If we die, we die together!" Gao Fei fought the monsters in a frenzy, their strength formidable and adept at swarming their prey. In a moment, Gao Fei was covered in wounds.

"Puchi!"

A monster devoured his mother.

"Mom!" Gao Fei's eyes split with fury, spewing a mouthful of fresh blood.

"Puchi..."

His father too was eaten by a monster.

In the time that followed, Su Xiaorou and the others all became food for the monsters.

Seven people, no exceptions, all perished miserably.

"Ahhh!!!!!"

Gao Fei let out a heaven-shaking roar, "You all are going to die!!!!" His body began to swell, knowing his own strength was insufficient to kill these monsters, so he chose Self-destruction, hoping to use the force of the blast to combat them.

Every Cultivator can Self-destruct, but under normal circumstances, they wouldn't choose this option, as once self-destructed, one would completely vanish from this world, with even their soul blasted to nothingness, making reincarnation impossible.

With his parents dead and the women he was closest with all gone, Gao Fei was utterly despondent, devoid of any desire to go on, hence his unhesitant choice of Self-destruction.

The higher the Cultivator's Level, the greater the power unleashed in a Self-destruction.

"Father, Mother, Su Xiaorou, Caidie, Liu Mengyao, Meng Xiaoyu, Ouyang Lan… I'll be coming to find you soon… Then, we'll never part…" Gao Fei muttered to himself.

When Gao Fei's body reached its limit and bloated to the extreme, it exploded instantly.

"Boom!!!!"

A terrifying energy swept over all the monsters.
