My Sexy CEO Wife-Chapter 165 - 163: Journey to Kunlun (Part 6)_2

"Immortal?" The white light shadow snorted coldly, "That's utter nonsense. If you were truly an Immortal, would you end up looking like this?"

"Hmph! Listen well, I am a Land Immortal! Not one of those Immortals from above!" the black light shadow huffed, "There's a difference between the two."

"So after all this time, you're just a False God." The white light shadow said dismissively.

"I was just one step away from Ascension to the Immortal Realm, what a pity... In the end, I couldn't pass the Heavenly Tribulation, and I almost vanished into smoke and dust." The black light shadow heaved a sigh, "I went to great lengths to preserve this sliver of soul. As time passed, my soul began to weaken... I thought I was going to die when... you showed up.

Heaven truly hasn't been unkind to me, hahaha..." With that, the black light shadow burst into laughter.

"What do you want to do by crawling into my head?" asked the white light shadow.

"Obviously, I plan to conduct Body Snatching. I'll Devour your soul and then occupy your Physical Body. With that, I am as good as revived." The black light shadow declared, "The only regret is that your physical body is too weak. In the past, I wouldn't have even considered it, but now... I'll just have to make do..."

"Body Snatching?!" The white light shadow was startled.

"Before I Devour you, I'll let you in on a secret. These palaces were built by me, with the goal of Becoming an Immortal, but sadly I failed..."

"Those like the Supreme Old Lord and others are just legendary Immortals, they don't exist at all!"

"It's better to believe they exist than to believe they do not! I would do anything to become an Immortal! When I built these palaces and worshipped deities like the Supreme Old Lord, it was to receive their blessings and help, so that I might Become an Immortal. Sadly, it didn't work out."

...

The black light shadow probably hadn't talked to anyone in a long time, so it was quite talkative.

"Do you know how the First Emperor obtained his empire?"

"I helped him! Without my assistance, he could not have secured the empire so easily, nor would he have become the First Emperor!"

"The First Emperor had great ambitions, not content with being the Emperor, he also wanted to achieve Eternal Life. I truly treated him as a friend at the time. To extend his lifespan, I searched everywhere for Spiritual Medicine. By chance, I acquired a Cultivate Immortality Manual, and from then on, I embarked on the path of Cultivating Immortality.

I don't know if my Talent was just that good, but my Cultivation Speed was incredibly fast. Soon, I reached the Tribulation Crossing Stage, and just passing one Heavenly Tribulation would have made me a true Immortal …"

"I prepared for a long time before choosing to face my Tribulation... I still underestimated the power of the Heavenly Tribulation, and I was struck to death by Thunder. I used all my strength just to escape with a sliver of my soul..."

"Thinking about it now still gives me a lingering fear."

"The force of the Heavenly Tribulation is not something that a mere mortal can withstand… I really don't understand how those ancient Cultivators managed to cross their Tribulations."

...

"What's the deal with this ancient tomb? And what about that oxhide map? The oxhide map is very clear, according to the directions it shows, one can find the true Mausoleum of the Qin Emperor…" asked the white light shadow.

"Cackle cackle cackle..." The black light shadow laughed out loud, "The oxhide map was my doing... I made a lot of them at once, with the purpose of attracting fools like you to come, then I could take over their bodies and be reborn... But I don't know where things went wrong, so many years passed by with no one coming, until today... when you showed up..."

"You created it! So this was a scam all along!"

"Yes, it's a scam, designed to deceive fools like you."

"I'm such a fool..."

"You really are foolish enough. If you were a bit wiser, I wouldn't have succeeded! By the way, you asked about this ancient tomb... I built this tomb, in fact I built two of them, both for the First Emperor. But when the First Emperor died, he was buried directly in Li Mountain, so this tomb was left vacant... until my failed Tribulation, when I made it my dwelling."

"Didn't you Cultivate Immortality? With Mana that reaches to the skies, you should be able to prolong the First Emperor's life, right? How could you let him die prematurely?"

"It's all about timing... The First Emperor had died before I became a Cultivator. If the First Emperor had lived a few more years, maybe I really could have found a way to extend his life... It is such a pity, heaven didn't want the First Emperor to live longer..."

"It really is regrettable. The First Emperor was a talented and strategic Emperor. If he had lived a few more years, the world might have changed."

"Alright, I've said what I needed to say, and even what I shouldn't have. Now I can send you on your way." The black light shadow moved closer to the white light shadow.

The white light shadow immediately backed away, "You just admitted my Physical Body is poor. Even if you take over my body, you won't gain much from it... you'll need to spend a lot of time and effort cultivating, which is just tiresome..."

"I just want to resurrect now!"

"I can help you resurrect, you know! Let me go, and I'll get you an awesome physical body, then assist you with body snatching to be reborn. How does that sound? You'll get a great body, and I'll be safe—we all win."

"Do you think I'm a three-year-old child? If I let you go, you'll certainly never come back."

"No, no, not at all! I'm not that kind of person! I'm very trustworthy, and since I've promised you, I'll definitely do it. You have to believe me!"

"I don't want to take any risks."

"It's not about taking risks, but about getting a good physical body. Don't you want a good body?"

"You talk too much! Just die already!" The black shadow pounced over and began to rip and tear at the white shadow.

"Ahhh..." The white shadow screamed miserably as it desperately struggled and resisted, but the black shadow clung tightly to it, giving the white shadow no chance to escape.

In the blink of an eye.

The volume of the white shadow had shrunk by a third, while the black shadow had grown larger.

"Bastard! You bastard!" the white shadow cursed loudly, "Even if I die, I won't let you off!!!"

"Keep cursing, as much as you like! You won't have the chance soon!" The black shadow laughed triumphantly, "The taste of devouring a soul is just so good, such a great supplement! Hahaha... Come on, hurry up and let me eat you. Stop resisting, it's pointless, you can't escape! Hahaha..."

A moment later.

The volume of the white shadow had shrunk again, and at this rate, the black shadow would completely devour it.

If the soul were devoured, Gao Fei's consciousness would vanish completely, and his physical body would belong to someone else.

Just at this critical moment, a beam of golden light shot out from the depths of his mind, striking the black shadow directly.

"Ahh!!!"

The black shadow let out a piercing scream, hastily released the white shadow, and then retreated quickly.

"Shoo, shoo, shoo!"

Several more beams of golden light shot out from the depths of the mind in a fan shape, attacking the black shadow which screamed in terror, desperately trying to flee and dodge, but still unable to shake off the golden light...

"Pfft... Pfft..."

The black shadow was hit by several beams of golden light, and its volume was instantly halved, its color also becoming dim.

"Shoo, shoo, shoo!"

Another three beams of golden light flew out from the depths of the mind.

The black shadow was terrified, pleading urgently, "Don't kill me, don't kill me, please... I beg you, don't kill me... I can be your servant... I've lived for over two thousand years, I know a lot of things... I can help you cultivate... Really...

I'm telling the truth... Please..."

"Pfft, pfft, pfft..."

Three beams of golden light struck the black shadow simultaneously, and its volume shrank dramatically again. The black shadow kept shaking and swaying, ready to disintegrate at any moment. It was afraid, genuinely afraid; the longer one lives, the more one fears death...

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh..."

Three more beams of golden light flew out from the depths of the mind.
