Fake Husband of the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 551: Unfathomable

Reese was certain that if it were a Cultivator without real strength, they wouldn’t dare come here to set up a trap to swindle their family’s generous reward.

And that such a haughty attitude only made him believe that this person, whose depth he couldn’t fathom, must be a high-level predecessor.

Besides, if he failed, he wouldn’t have to provide any additional rewards.

So, what harm was there in trying one more time?

Therefore, he decisively stepped forward and clasped his fists towards Gu Feng, "Fellow Daoist, if you truly can dismantle the array barrier of that Cave Mansion, allowing our family to smoothly enter and obtain what we desire, our family will honor its word; I will impart to you the "Supreme Level" Secret Technique that I’ve dedicated my life to studying and evolving."

"I have no interest in your family’s Secret Techniques," Gu Feng said indifferently, "I am but fulfilling someone’s trust. I can make this trip to help you, and once the matter is done, just give the Secret Technique to whoever took the job."

Hearing this, Reese became even more convinced that this person must possess techniques superior to his.

And that could only mean "Emperor Level" Secret Techniques.

That would explain why this person’s Realm was higher than his own, hence his opaqueness.

"Of course, I, Reese, swear on the honor of the Taoist Ancestor that, should I break this agreement, I shall suffer divine punishment," Reese said.

Gu Feng turned, "Then, let’s go."

Reese hurriedly called his fellow clan member, his second brother who was also a well-cultivated Emperor-Sealing Twentieth Layer Heaven.

To avoid any danger to the Family Head or any underhanded tactics, this brother also followed closely behind.

Before leaving, Gu Feng notified Kubo, the president of the Array Formation Guild, to come and meet up.

Since they were going to study high-end formations, such a live teaching opportunity definitely shouldn’t be wasted.

Of course, Kubo recognized Lord Reese Fulman.

As well as his brother.

"Greetings, Grandmaster," Kubo first bowed deeply at ninety degrees to Gu Feng and gave a symbolic bow to the two heavy hitters, "Greetings, Great Emperors."

Reese and his brother were just surprised that the Guild Master called Gu Feng Grandmaster.

But neither of them connected this to the Taoist Ancestor.

After all, the Taoist Ancestor had fallen 20,000 years ago, and it was easy to forget that the Four Guilds were the Taoist Ancestor’s foundation.

Both assumed Gu Feng was simply one of the former Association Leaders of the Array Formation Guild.

Anyone from over four generations ago was considered at the Grandmaster level, and considering the Array Formation Guild had now reached the twelfth generation.

So, it was possible that Gu Feng was a predecessor from one of the past Association Leaders.

"Have you broken through the Ten Layers of Heaven?" Reese and his brother had heard that the heads of the Four Unions had been stuck at the Tenth Layer Heaven for a long time.

Their Secret Techniques were incomplete, and since they could not enter the "Third Plate" Star System, they were unable to procure the "King-level" Secret Techniques, hence their centuries and millennia-long stagnation.

As more and more Cultivators increased their Cultivation well beyond the Tenth Layer Heaven, the influence of the Four Unions completely disappeared.

Moreover, during this period, countless Array Masters left the Guild, all to seek higher realms, disregarding their specialization in favor of joining under other family clans.

Other family clans were also happy to recruit high-tier cultivators from the Four Unions to seize their business opportunities.

Consequently, the development of the Four Unions became increasingly difficult, declining to the point where they were merely minor players.

Although surprised that Kubo had reached the Eleventh Layer Heaven, Reese and his brother were somewhat disappointed.

They thought that Gu Feng would call in some external assistance to add to their margin of error, but it was just an Eleventh Layer Heaven Array Master?

"Fellow Daoist, we are going to a Cave Mansion in the "Fourth Plate"; this junior might not be able to enter," Reese tactfully said.

What a joke.

An Eleventh Layer Heaven Cultivator?

Although he was a professional Array Master, could he understand the intricacies of an Emperor-Sealing level mansion’s formation?

Even Zhang Ruokai hadn’t been able to forcibly break the array with mere brute strength, which speaks to the formation’s profound mysteries.

Kubo didn’t speak, though he didn’t understand why the Grandmaster had called him here, but hearing Reese call the Grandmaster ’fellow Daoist’ and noticing Gu Feng wearing a mask, Kubo understood.

It seemed these two were unaware of the Grandmaster’s identity.

Otherwise, would you have the audacity to regard yourself as the peer of a Taoist Ancestor?

Gu Feng stood with his hands clasped behind his back and said to Reese, "No need to worry."

"Big brother, are we dealing with an idiot here?" Reese’s younger brother transmitted a message to him, feeling that Gu Feng seemed unreliable.

Reese replied to him, "We’re already here, let’s go and take a look."

The two had no choice but to head to the star system together, then randomly picked a transmission gate to the "Original World."

The staff member glanced at Kubo and kindly reminded him, "He can’t enter the Fourth Plate with you, he will be automatically sent to the Third Plate."

Gu Feng said to Kubo, "Come into my circle."

Kubo nodded and moved closer to the circle where Gu Feng was.

Afterward, Gu Feng led him into the Fourth Plate continent, where the 20th to 24th Layer Heavens are located.

Reese and his brother were shocked to see Kubo could also enter with them.

The two exchanged a glance, realizing that in thousands of years of cultivation, this was the first time they had seen a cultivator from a lower plane able to enter a higher plane domain.

"Where is your cave mansion located? Lead the way," Gu Feng casually asked at that moment.

"Oh," Reese came to his senses, no longer doubting Gu Feng’s strength, and even changed his form of address, "Senior, please follow me."

The two brothers then led the way at the front.

Each plate continent was vast in size.

It took the group flying for more than ten days to locate the cave mansion marked as the Fulman family’s blessed land.

Once they had reached the destination, Gu Feng said to Kubo, "Study this and speak up about anything you find or don’t understand."

Kubo understood that the Grandmaster had brought him here to teach, and he also boldly began to explore and attempt to unravel the formation.

Reese cautioned from the side, "Be careful not to trigger any mechanisms; the sword techniques inscribed in the array patterns here are very dominating, sometimes even we can’t resist them."

Kubo looked at Gu Feng.

Gu Feng stood with his hands clasped behind his back, giving his disciple great confidence, "Don’t worry, just give it a try."

Kubo nodded his head.

He then stepped forward to attempt breaking the array.

For someone of his level, not triggering the array’s mechanisms was very difficult, since in this formation, his competence was akin to a middle schooler trying to solve a university-level problem.

"Be careful!" Reese and his brother, already experienced, activated their defensive shields at the first sign of trouble.

Quickly, hundreds of illusory flying swords skewered towards them.

But with a wave of Gu Feng’s hand, all the swords dissipated like smoke.

Reese and his brother were stunned.

Gu Feng told Kubo, "Continue."

Now, Kubo’s confidence was even bolstered.

Without any apprehension and with daring, he applied all the breaking array techniques he had learned in his life to face this Emperor-Sealing level formation.

He was thrilled.

Throughout the process, he triggered countless mechanisms, not just flying swords, but also attacks from various Power of Laws.

There were even Enchantment-type spiritual attacks.

But all were effortlessly dissolved by a wave of Gu Feng’s hand.

Reese and his brother went from being initially extremely tense to eventually becoming numb to the spectacle.

Both were convinced that the senior before them was unfathomably deep!

Of course, Gu Feng wouldn’t let Kubo waste time; whenever he couldn’t break through and triggered a mechanism, Gu Feng would ask Kubo why the formation was triggered.

Once Kubo shared his suspicions and confusions, Gu Feng would tell him the solution and the principles behind them.

In the end, after several days, the formation was finally unraveled.

Gu Feng appraised Kubo, "You do have some talent."

Kubo blushed with a bit of embarrassment.
