Fake Husband of the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 518: Ancestor of the Gu Family in the Upper Realm Appears, Whereabouts of Compass Fragments

Chapter 518: 518: Ancestor of the Gu Family in the Upper Realm Appears, Whereabouts of Compass Fragments

Lin Qi’s residence.

For several days now,

he dared not touch or test the imprint left on his brow by Gu Feng.

Fearing it might be some sort of Soul Searching Technique.

Such a technique, it is said, can only be executed by Nascent Soul Level cultivators and above, which supposedly is not feasible for Upper Realm cultivators descending to the mortal realm.

This was also the reason why he felt secure yet never dared to leave Earth to work in the Star System.

As long as he stayed on Earth, he would not be subject to memory searching by high-level cultivators.

His father had died; Lin Qi knew without thinking that his father, having sneaked out in search of their ancestors, must have been discovered by other trackers and, to avoid a Soul Search, chose to self-destruct!

"Hello, delivery." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Just then, Lin Qi heard a knock at the door and brought the delivery inside.

As he opened the box and absentmindedly ate his rice, he was surprised to see nano-engraved text on the rice.

It was an address.

Normally, Lin Qi would not have cared.

But among the other grains of rice, he saw a mysterious code that only the Gu Family could decode.

An ancestor from the Gu Family in the Upper Realm must have come.

Pretending to be calm, he finished his meal and then rushed to his preferred bathhouse on his flying sword.

While bathing, Lin Qi had only submerged slightly when suddenly someone covered his mouth and took him away from there.

"Lin Qi has disappeared, something’s up!"

"Lin Qi is gone!"

"Hurry, send a message back to the family, there’s movement on the Gu Family descendant’s end!"

"Oh no, this bathhouse has Immortal Water that eradicates tracking imprints; all the Divine Sense imprints we left on this boy have been wiped off!"

In a corner, the intelligence personnel from various families relayed their updates.

And when the unconscious Lin Qi awoke again, a few old men looked at him and asked, "Awake?"

Lin Qi, seeing the resemblance they bore to his father, uncertainly asked, "Are you... my ancestors from the Gu Family?"

The old men nodded one after another, "Was the food to your liking?"

Speaking of the food, and recalling the code in the rice grains, Lin Qi confirmed these men were the liaisons.

Immediately, he kowtowed and knelt: "Gu Family descendant Lin Qi greets the Ancestor."

"Rise," said the old man.

As Lin Qi stood up, he was so moved that he almost burst into tears, "Ancestors, you have finally come, my father and I have waited so arduously."

The old man sighed, "You have suffered, child. The main problem is that various family forces are guarding the Teleportation Array, so we had to use a spaceship and travel through the endless galaxy toward Earth, all while avoiding all eyes and ears; it wasn’t easy, thus it took us several centuries!"

"This time we have planned for a long time, and we can only succeed, not fail."

Lin Qi was curious, "I really don’t understand, what plan has our family been devising? Why were my grandfather, my father, and I all forbidden from cultivating to the Nascent Soul Stage?"

An elder said, "Because reaching the Nascent Soul Stage would transform you into a Fourth Dimensional life form, you could almost say it separates you from being a Third Life Form. The key to unlocking the Medicine Field your Ancestor Grandmother once owned is that the descendants must retain the most original Gu Family bloodline!"

Lin Qi was astounded, "Ancestor Grandmother?"

The elder replied, "Yes, right in Shencheng, where our Ancestor lived in the Gu Mansion. There he opened a Medicine Field for the Ancestor Grandmother, which at that time was a special space created by the Ancestor’s Formation, not an earthly space. It was a farm specially designed for her to grow various high-tier Medicinal Materials she liked, and it was kept private so no one outside of the Gu Family was allowed into that space."

Lin Qi asked, "Then, is there anything valuable in there?"

"The valuable items themselves are not there; those Medicinal Materials aren’t worth much," several elders shook their heads but their eyes sparkled with intensity, "But when the Ancestor died, the Compass shattered just during that time, and a few fragments fell onto that Medicine Field."

"But now, that area has been taken over by a high envoy." Lin Qi frowned, "And he has long violated the restraints given by our Ancestor, I’m afraid we can’t get in."

"That’s why," the elder sighed, "we need to plan well and take our chance during the upcoming National War when everyone enters the battlefield. That will be the best time for us to act."

Lin Qi’s eyes lit up.

The National War was just about half a month away.

Looking at Lin Qi, the elders said, "During this time, you can’t go out until we act; you cannot expose yourself or us."

Lin Qi nodded, "I understand, but elder ancestors, my body has been marked with Divine Sense Tracking marks by various major families..."

"Don’t worry," the elders waved off his concern, "We’ve dealt with them using a Magical Treasure specifically for erasing such marks. We meddled with the pool you soaked in before we brought you out."

As he spoke, an old man even shook a jade vial in his hand, "This thing can even remove Divine Sense marks at the Nascent Soul Level, so even if the strongest envoy on Earth left any mark on you, it would be useless; we’ve prepared well in advance."

Lin Qi breathed a sigh of relief, "That’s good. Just the other day, I met a cultivator who could Instantly Teleport, and he was disguised as the Gu Family Ancestor and even claimed his name was Gu Feng... He isn’t afraid of being struck by Heavenly Thunder!"

"The Ancestor has been gone for over ten thousand years; it’s impossible," the elder waved off, "It’s likely that envoy, hmm, this traitor ultimately couldn’t resist his Dao Heart being corrupted, collaborating with major families on Earth to protect his own people and exploiting them to develop up to a level 18 Cultivation Country scale outside of our domain!"

"I was thinking the same," Lin Qi pointed proudly to the mark on his forehead, "So I didn’t let my Divine Sense sense this mark, fearing he might perform a Soul Search or try to take over my spirit!"

Lin Qi touched his forehead, and the mark unexpectedly emitted a faint light.

That meant the Immortal Water hadn’t erased the mark at all!

This revelation startled several of the elders.

Damn!

Didn’t this expose the tracking?

Over, over!

Had the carefully planned scheme been exposed just like that?

In their moment of panic, one elder quickly signaled to stay calm, "Everyone, don’t panic yet, if this mark is for tracking Divine Sense, we would have been exposed the moment we took Lin Qi away, but since the opponent hasn’t appeared yet, this might not be a tracking mark."

Lin Qi asked, "Then, what is it?"

"Let me check," one elder approached Lin Qi and touched the mark on his forehead with his Divine Sense.

The next second, his Divine Sense was transmitted into a chaotic world.

He felt as if he was in an immense ocean, and he was just a tiny bacterium.

Then, on the surface of the ocean, a huge Dharma Image connecting heaven and earth slowly rose...
