My Sexy CEO Wife-Chapter 211 - 209: Abyss of Magic (Part 7)

A temple bathed in sparkling golden light suddenly appeared in the void, suspended in the air, radiating blinding golden light. Above the temple's main gate hung a plaque with four glittering golden characters engraved upon it, which, regrettably, Gao Fei could not recognize.

Since the appearance of the temple, Gao Fei had become peaceful and quiet, unable to resist the urge to kneel and worship.

"What is the origin of this temple? How could it be hidden in the void?" Gao Fei's face was filled with shock and surprise.

Buddha's Light Shines Everywhere!

Four characters suddenly flashed through Gao Fei's mind!

Whether it was an illusion or something else, Gao Fei heard faint chanting coming from the temple.

"Boom!!!"

A loud rumble echoed in the sky, shaking Gao Fei to his core and causing his body to tremble uncontrollably.

"Whoosh!"

A massive tower, pitch black in entirety, slowly emerged from the void. As soon as the tower appeared, the temple started to rock violently and shot out dazzling streaks of golden light, which poured down toward the tower like a blanket.

"Bang!"

The tower spewed out a puff of black fog, blocking the sky full of golden light.

"Splutter... Splutter..."

The golden light and black fog fiercely battled in the sky. Both forces were equally matched, unable to best the other, and after a brief struggle, both the golden light and black fog completely dissipated.

"Buzz... Buzz... Buzz!"

The temple flew from afar, colliding against the towering tower.

The tower did not avoid or dodge, shaking its massive body and fighting back against the temple.

"Thunderous booms..."

"Crackling and snapping..."

"Creaking and cracking..."

The temple and the tower fought in the sky, unleashing earth-shattering noises, and their tremendous impact punched holes in the sky...

Majestic!

Dominating!

Utterly captivating!

Gao Fei cupped his ears with his hands, his eyes wide open, dazzled by the spectacle.

It was incredibly captivating, truly too amazing for words!

So fascinating it was boundless!

Both the temple and the tower displayed terrifying power. A single strike was enough to punch a large hole in the sky. If it had been a person, they would have been instantly turned to dust.

Although the temple and the tower were inanimate objects, they were filled with spirituality or, one might say, possessed independent consciousness. As soon as they encountered each other, they began fighting without a hint of mercy. It appeared that they harbored animosity that was deep and irreconcilable!

Watching the fight between the temple and the tower provided Gao Fei with much inspiration and taught him a great deal.

As Gao Fei watched, he quietly speculated in his mind. The temple shone with righteous golden light, while the tower was enveloped in sinister black fog—a force of good clashing with a force of evil. In the end, would righteousness suppress evil, or would evil overpower righteousness?

Logically, righteousness should suppress evil! But if the power of evil were too great, unmatched in the universe, then righteousness would be unable to contain evil.

At present, the temple and the tower seemed equally matched, neither able to gain the upper hand.

"What an exciting battle! Absolutely dominating! Unbeatable in might!"

Just then, a voice suddenly echoed in Gao Fei's mind—it was the voice of Xuan Jizi; it had been a long time since he had spoken. (In the previous days, Gao Fei had explored an ancient tomb from the Qin Dynasty, where he encountered a wisp of Xuan Jizi's soul. Xuan Jizi had attempted to perform body-snatching in Gao Fei's mind but ended up subdued by him.

Since then, a wisp of Xuan Jizi's soul had remained in Gao Fei's mind, acting as a military advisor, assisting Gao Fei's cultivation. In the Qin Dynasty, Xuan Jizi was quite the renowned figure, and now, reduced to this state, it was truly a little pathetic.)

"Xuan Jizi, with your long life and extensive knowledge, do you recognize these two big fellows?" Gao Fei inquired through mental power.

"I do not recognize them... however, I can make some guesses..."

"Speak quickly!"

"I sense a strong presence of Buddhism emanating from that temple; it surely is a treasure of the Buddhist Sect! That tower... it is filled with demonic nature, most likely a treasured artifact of the Demon Clan!"

"Buddhist Sect? Demon Clan?"

"In Ancient Times, the Buddhist Sect was mighty, the symbol of righteousness, while the Demon Clan was also very powerful, leading the forces of evil. One championed the banner of restoring justice, and the other chanted slogans of dominating the world.

With good facing evil, a fierce collision ensued, and a prolonged war raged for many years, resulting in heavy casualties on both sides without a victor emerging!"

"And then? Who ultimately won?"

"I do not know... There is no record in any texts. However, I speculate that in the end... both suffered heavy losses, and neither side won."

"Don't people always say that evil never triumphs over good? Why didn't the Buddhist Sect win?"

"Hmph!" Xuan Jizi snorted lightly, "What is justice? What is evil? Can the Buddhist Sect truly represent justice? Can the Demon Clan truly represent evil? There are scoundrels within the Buddhist Sect, committing endless evils and wreaking havoc! There are also kind-hearted individuals within the Demon Clan, who cannot bear to kill and have done many good deeds in their lifetime!

Considering this, who is just? Who is evil?"

Gao Fei frowned slightly, "It's indeed hard to differentiate."

"Whether it's justice or evil, it's nothing more than a slogan! The true goal is to seek benefits!" Xuan Jizi said, "In this world, no matter who it is, self-interest exists. As long as there is self-interest, there will be disputes, and that's unavoidable."

"Xuan Jizi, what kind of person are you then? A hero of justice, or a villainous evildoer?"

"I'm neither. I act entirely based on personal preferences. I've done good deeds and bad things in my life, so I'm neither a good person nor a bad person."

"Live according to your nature!" Gao Fei nodded, "But ensure that you have a clear conscience."

"Well said, one should not be too pedantic, nor too wicked, and try to live as freely as possible." As he said this, Xuan Jizi paused for a moment, "This is a great opportunity and fortune, you mustn't miss it."

"What great opportunity? What great fortune?" Gao Fei didn't understand.

"Are you dense?" Xuan Jizi said, "That temple and that tower are incredible treasures. If you can get your hands on them, they will definitely be of great help to your future cultivation."

Gao Fei was taken aback and then smiled wryly, "Of course, I know they're treasures! I really want to get them! The key issue is... with my current level of cultivation, I simply can't subdue them."

"It's all up to the individual," Xuan Jizi said, "Wait for the right moment, and if you have the opportunity to act, don't hesitate, such chances don't come often."

Gao Fei nodded, "I'll give it a try." Truth be told, Gao Fei was not confident at all. He was just a minor cultivator at the Inedia Stage, hardly a challenge in the presence of the temple and the tower! Whether it was the temple or the tower, if they wished to eliminate Gao Fei, it would be too easy.

Despite his lack of confidence, Gao Fei still harbored a hope against hope, anticipating that the temple and tower would both suffer defeats, and then he could take advantage of the situation.

Gao Fei's thoughts were indeed pleasant, but what the outcome would be remained unknown.

Wait and see!

Gao Fei's eyes widened as he stared intently at the temple and the tower without blinking, "Xuan Jizi, in terms of a cultivator's strength, what level would the temple and the tower be?"

"...At least the strength of the Transcendance Tribulation Stage."

"That strong!"

"It could be even stronger!"

"Stronger? Stronger than the Transcendance Tribulation Stage? Isn't that almost divine?"

"The origins of this temple and tower are mysterious, and the strength they have shown is astonishing. It's quite possible that they are items from the Immortal Realm." Xuan Jizi made a remark that shocked Gao Fei profoundly.

Gao Fei's mouth twitched fiercely, "Items from the Immortal Realm... Those are great treasures... If I could subdue them... then I would truly strike it rich..." His eyes blazed with desire as he rubbed his hands together, eager to try his luck.

"A kind reminder, don't rush over recklessly, or you may lose your life."

"I know, I won't act rashly."

...

The struggle between the temple and the tower continued, with each colliding and knocking against the other, neither giving in.

At this rate, when would they determine a victor?

Gao Fei wondered to himself. If the fight lasted a year, would he have to wait here for a year? What if the battle lasted two years? Three years... or even longer? The more Gao Fei thought, the more depressed he became...

He just hoped the temple and the tower would soon determine a victor, preferably both ending up weakened...

"Pfft!"

A few hundred meters away, someone suddenly burst out of the sand, a man ragged and emaciated, with disheveled hair and a beard fluttering in the wind. As this man emerged from the sands, he looked fervently at the temple and tower, his expression extremely excited, "After waiting so many years... I've finally waited for it... my fortune... my fortune..."

"Uh..." Gao Fei was stunned, "Another person popped out?" Completely unprepared for this sight, Gao Fei was surprised inside. "Whoosh!" He quickly darted forward, reaching out to grab the strange man.

"Seeking death!!" The strange man bellowed in anger, scooping up handfuls of sand and hurling them at Gao Fei.

"Bang bang!"

With a sweep of his sleeves, Gao Fei knocked the sand away and reached forward, seizing the strange man by the shoulders.

"Zzzap!"

The strange man's shoulders twitched, and he slipped out of Gao Fei's grasp, then his hands flailed, sending bizarre insects swarming toward Gao Fei.

"Gu insects!" Gao Fei's eyes lit up, "You're Zhu Dahe!"

"Huh?" The strange man paused, "You actually know my name." 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"You really are Zhu Dahe! Ha ha! I've been looking all over for you; I didn't expect you to come out on your own." Gao Fei silently recited a spell, and black flames immediately appeared on the surface of his body, burning to death the gu insects that were flying towards him.

"Ah!" Zhu Dahe's complexion changed, "What a formidable youth!" He hadn't expected Gao Fei to be so powerful.

"Lie down for me!" Gao Fei charged forward, and in no time at all, he had captured Zhu Dahe, holding him tightly to prevent any chance of escape.

Zhu Dahe's face turned ashen, his expression one of despair, "I've waited in vain for more than a decade... in the end, it's all for nothing... Heaven, you are unfair to me!!! I refuse to accept this! I refuse!" Zhu Dahe roared at the sky, his expression fearsome.
