My Sexy CEO Wife-Chapter 210 - 208: Abyss of Magic (Part 6)

In the instant he jumped into the black hole, Gao Fei took out the Thousand Transformations Stone, and with a thought, the stone transformed into a large hammer that he held in front of him. His eyes were like lightning, vigilantly scanning his surroundings.

The cold wind howled, buffeting Gao Fei's clothes. He had been falling for a full ten minutes and still had not reached the bottom.

Gao Fei calculated in his mind; ten minutes of falling would mean he had descended at least a thousand meters. And yet the bottom was nowhere in sight? Just how deep was this black hole?

Time flew by, and unwittingly another ten minutes passed. Gao Fei had fallen more than two thousand meters and still didn't see the bottom.

"This is really deep," Gao Fei frowned.

Since he had jumped in, he had to keep moving forward; he absolutely couldn't give up halfway.

Half an hour later, Gao Fei's feet finally touched solid ground.

"Finally at the bottom," Gao Fei let out a breath of stale air. "This black hole is actually over five thousand meters deep, it's unbelievable. Only someone as gutsy as me would dare to come down here. If it were anyone else, they wouldn't dare."

"Eh? There's a stone platform here..."

The stone platform was engraved with some profound patterns. Gao Fei only took one look before feeling dizzy and swelling in his head. He quickly averted his gaze, shocked in his heart. What powerful patterns, just one glance almost made him obsessed—if he'd looked any longer, would he have gone mad?

Having learned his lesson, Gao Fei wised up and dared not stare at the stone platform any longer.

Although his glance had been brief, Gao Fei had still noticed something strange—the stone platform showed signs of being man-made, which meant it had been created intentionally.

So the question came...

Who built this stone platform? And what was their purpose?

The black hole was naturally formed (since it showed no signs of man-made excavation), but the stone platform was artificial. Creating a stone platform thousands of meters underground definitely indicated some kind of plan, but as for what that plan was, there was no way to guess.

The area at the bottom of the hole wasn't large, only a bit over a hundred square meters, and aside from the eerie stone platform, there was nothing else.

"Where is Zhu Dahe? Didn't he jump down here? If he's still alive, why isn't he here? If he's dead, there should be a skeleton, right?" Gao Fei's brows deeply furrowed. "Could it be that Nong Zizai lied to me? Zhu Dahe never jumped down?

Or perhaps... Zhu Dahe has already left this place?"

In the span of a moment, Gao Fei considered many possibilities.

"When Nong Zizai spoke, I was watching his eyes the whole time. There wasn't the slightest panic or disorder, so the likelihood of him lying is slim."

"When Zhu Dahe jumped, he was muttering about a holy land, a blessing... Aside from a stone platform, there is nothing here. Could the 'holy land' Zhu Dahe mentioned be this stone platform? And the blessing? Could it also be this stone platform?"

"Grandmother, what in the world is the truth here?"

The more Gao Fei thought about it, the more his head hurt.

"Swoosh!"

Just then, a faint light flashed over the stone platform.

"Uh?"

Gao Fei was startled: "Did the stone platform just flash with light? Surely it wasn't an illusion?"

"Swoosh!"

Several minutes later, the stone platform flashed with light again.

This time Gao Fei saw it clearly: "No doubt about it, there was a light... This stone platform is strange." Gao Fei wanted to get closer to check it out but worried about encountering danger, especially those profound patterns on the platform that made him dizzy and swelled his head just by glancing at them...

"Be careful, there shouldn't be any problems, right?"

Still unable to suppress his curiosity, Gao Fei cautiously approached, keeping his gaze low to avoid the intricate patterns, and began to examine the stone platform while ensuring his own safety.

"The color is dim, with some parts damaged. Judging by the looks of it, this stone platform must have been around for quite some time."

"Oh? There are also some small characters inscribed here..."

"Damn, ancient text, I don't recognize a single one."

"Eh? There's a painting over here..."

On the side of the stone platform was a painting. The lines were simple, yet they conveyed a clear image. "The person who carved this painting is definitely a master of the craft, having grasped the essence of painting. With just a few strokes, they could create a vivid scene."

In the painting, there was also a stone platform, and a man in a robe stood upon it, forming several spells with his hands. Then the stone platform burst with light, and in the blink of an eye, the man in the robe disappeared.

"Uh?" Gao Fei blinked. "A living person just disappears like that? Could it be..." Gao Fei thought of a possibility: "Does this stone platform have teleportation capabilities?"

In the Demon God Heritage, it was recorded that there were great beings who had developed Teleportation Arrays, which could instantaneously transport people away. Teleportation Arrays were divided into high, middle, and low ranks.

High-Rank Teleportation Arrays could transmit people thousands of miles in an instant, Middle-Rank Arrays could do hundreds of thousands, while Low-Rank Arrays only tens of thousands.

"That's right, this stone platform is definitely a Teleportation Array." The more Gao Fei thought about it, the more he felt this was the case: "My luck is really good, to have stumbled upon a Teleportation Array here."

Many years ago, the method of setting up Teleportation Arrays had already been lost, which was the tragedy of the Dharma Ending Age. Nearly everything handed down by the ancestors had been lost, and for various reasons... To put it simply, the descendants were too disappointing, having destroyed all the crystallized wisdom carefully created by the ancestors.

"This stone platform is a Teleportation Array, so the patterns on the stone must be Array Patterns. No wonder just one glance makes one dizzy and bleary-eyed. So they are Array Patterns! Array Patterns are a very mystical thing, like voltage. With voltage, a lightbulb will shine; with Array Patterns, a Teleportation Array will activate."

"Could it be a Low-Rank Teleportation Array?"

"Where does the Teleportation Array's other side lead?"

"Zhu Dahe must have left through the Teleportation Array."

"Should we go take a look?"

...

Gao Fei frowned deeply, feeling hesitant in his heart.

"Sacred land, fortune..." Gao Fei muttered to himself, "Zhu Dahe must know some secret, that's why he jumped down without hesitation... Is there a sacred land on the other side of the Teleportation Array? Is there fortune?"

"Have I become too cautious?"

"Zhu Dahe dared to activate the Teleportation Array, why shouldn't I?"

"Finding a Teleportation Array and not activating it, wouldn't that be a huge loss?"

"Fortune favors the bold, I'm going for it!"

Finally, Gao Fei made up his mind. He took a deep breath, then stepped onto the stone platform with a sledgehammer in hand, silently praying in his heart, "All gods and Buddhas of the heavens! You must protect me! I still have many great deeds to accomplish, I can't die."

There was a protrusion in the center of the stone platform. Gao Fei stepped on it, and the platform immediately began to shake. Those profound Array Patterns started to flicker with lights, and hundreds of rays of light crisscrossed to form a dazzling curtain of light, enveloping Gao Fei in an instant.

"Hum!!!!"

Suddenly a Vortex appeared in the sky. At first, it was the size of a needlepoint, but then it grew larger and larger, covering the entire stone platform. "Swoosh!" A sucking force surged from the Vortex, pulling Gao Fei in instantly.

"Puff!"

After Gao Fei entered the Vortex, the stone platform stopped shaking, the Array Patterns no longer flickered with light, and the Vortex slowly shrank until it disappeared.

...

"Bang!"

A crack appeared in the air, and a figure fell out from within it.

Dusty and extremely disheveled.

This person was none other than Gao Fei.

"The spatial pressure was just too great, I nearly got crushed into a meat pastry," said Gao Fei, still shaken. "Where is this?" After stabilizing his emotions, Gao Fei began to look around.

Underfoot was a broken stone platform, beneath which was a tall mountain, surrounded by a vast and endless desert.

Desolation!

This was Gao Fei's first impression—this place was too desolate!

Looking up, the sky was a dusky grey, with neither the sun nor the moon visible, nor any stars. Looking down, there were no signs of human life, no birds or animals, and not even a glimpse of trees or plants.

"Damn it!"

Gao Fei cursed, "Is this the sacred land Zhu Dahe was talking about?"

At that moment, Gao Fei felt he had been duped, and not lightly so. This was no sacred land; it was clearly a barren wasteland, desolate and uninhabited, without any wildlife or vegetation. Everything was bleak, even the air smelled particularly foul.

To be honest, Gao Fei didn't want to stay a moment longer. He wanted to return immediately... but then the thought of Zhu Dahe possibly hiding there made him stop in his tracks.

"I'll look around anyway. If I can find Zhu Dahe, Xu Lingxiu can be saved."

To save someone, Gao Fei had to forcefully endure the discomfort. He leapt down from the stone platform, then off the tall mountain, and began wandering the desert.

This wandering lasted for more than ten hours, with only yellow sand as far as the eye could see, and no sign of Zhu Dahe.

"Something's not right!"

Gao Fei stopped walking, looked up at the sky, and said, "Something's fishy!"

More than ten hours had passed, yet the sky still showed no change, remaining dreary grey. That shouldn't be—logically, after more than ten hours, the sky should turn dark, followed by night, right?

"What went wrong?"

"Could it be that time is measured differently here?"

"Or, is this a closed-off space, without distinction between day and night?" 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

In the following time, Gao Fei conducted an experiment. The result was... this place indeed had no distinction between day and night!

"What the hell is this place!" Gao Fei cursed. "Zhu Dahe, don't let me find you, or I will make you pay! Sacred land, my ass! Fortune, my ass! I've been completely screwed over by you!"

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a loud noise came from ahead, earth-shattering and deafening, shaking Gao Fei's head vigorously, nearly knocking him to the ground. He shook his head hard, and when his consciousness became a little clearer, he looked up...

"Damn it! What is that thing!"

Gao Fei's eyes widened in shock, almost bulging out. His mouth opened, tongue sticking out, and then he exclaimed in surprise.
