My Cold and Elegant CEO Wife

Qingfeng Li looked up at the huge palace which was magnificently built with golden bricks and blue tiles.

The top of the palace was covered with gold and jade, more majestic than even a royal palace.

Inside the palace, the ground was paved with meteorite rocks, a feat that only a Spirit Emperor Realm Master could accomplish since it was difficult for an ordinary self-cultivator to acquire even one meteorite rock, not to mention hundreds of them.

In front of the palace stood a huge plaque, on which were written three big characters: Spirit Emperor Palace.

The calligraphy of the characters was lively, vigorous, bold, and strong. It contained a mysterious and powerful presence.

While Qingfeng Li was looking at the Spirit Emperor Palace, he heard some sounds from behind. He turned his head, only to see Linger Yao falling from the sky.

"How did you come in here?" Qingfeng Li was surprised at the sight of Linger Yao.

He knew that he got in because he had channeled the Heavenly Immortal Chant and broke the sealing stamp of the tombstone on the coffin with his vital essence.

What method did Linger Yao use to enter here?

With a slight smile, Linger Yao explained, "Us cultivators of the Demonic Dao have a page left by the Demonic Peacock Empress. It describes a method of entering a mystic space and I just followed the instructions written on it."

Qingfeng Li nodded as he suddenly understood...

The Demonic Peacock Empress was the first demon empress and the most powerful cultivator of the Demonic Dao. It was understandable that one would be able to enter a mystic space with her instructions.

If it had been another self-cultivator entering the space, Qingfeng Li would have been very worried and fearful.

But he was relieved that it was Linger Yao who was his friend.

"Let’s go in the Spirit Emperor Palace and have a look." With a slight smile, he walked into the palace with Linger Yao.

In the palace, there were all kinds of treasures, and each of them would cause a fight among countless self-cultivators.

Qingfeng Li didn’t pay much attention to the precious treasures, only casting a glance at them before fixating his look at the center of the palace.

In the center of the palace stood a red coffin.

Red coffin?

Qingfeng Li frowned, and a trace of surprise appeared in his eyes.

Usually, a coffin was black, never red.

The red coffin was like a blazing fire, and one could feel its extremely high temperature just by looking at it.

"The coffin of the Fire Emperor. It’s the Fire Emperor who is buried in that coffin," Linger Yao said as her expression changed.

She recognized the owner of the coffin and the Spirit Emperor Cave.

Qingfeng Li frowned and asked, "Who is the Fire Emperor?"

He knew little about the absolute masters in the self-cultivation world.

After a moment’s consideration, Linger Yao said, "The Fire Emperor was an absolute master five hundred years ago, and he was recognized as a top-tier emperor in Huaxia’s self-cultivation world.

The most important set of cultivation techniques possessed by the Fire Emperor is the Fire Emperor Sutra. After cultivating this powerful set of techniques, one can attack with fire."

Fire Emperor Sutra!

A flash of exhilaration appeared in Qingfeng Li’s eyes when he heard this name.

He practiced fire-style cultivation techniques, had gained insight in the Inferno Realm, and even had the Golden Flame. He had a strong desire for the Fire Emperor Sutra.

"Qingfeng Li, if I’m not mistaken, Fire Emperor Sutra is in the red coffin." Linger Yao told Qingfeng Li.

Qingfeng Li nodded and walked forward. He reached out his right hand and tried to push open the coffin.

But the lid of the red coffin felt like it was heavier than a few hundred thousand kilograms.

Qingfeng Li couldn’t open it with his hands, but he didn’t admit defeat. He channeled the Mortal Purgatory Body and pushed at the lid with unrivaled strength.

But the lid didn’t even move an inch, and the coffin remained tightly shut.

"What should I do? Why can’t I open it?" Qingfeng Li asked Linger Yao.

Linger Yao, smiling slightly, said, "The real Fire Emperor lies in there so it makes sense that you can’t open it easily. Let me try it."

Linger Yao reached out her right hand. Channeling the huge amounts of vital essence in her body, she pushed hard at the lid of the red coffin.

But the lid didn’t budge under the great force exerted by Linger Yao, a half-step Spirit Emperor Realm Master.

"The coffin is so tightly closed that there must be some sort of array formation here. Besides, the coffin is made with a special material. I can’t open it as well," shaking her head, Linger Yao said regretfully.

It was quite frustrating for them since they knew the Fire Emperor Sutra and some other treasures were hidden in the red coffin, but they just couldn’t open it.

Qingfeng Li studied the surface of the coffin trying to find some clues. On the surface of the coffin were engraved many patterns of red flames.

He counted them and found that, altogether, there were 99 red flames covering the whole surface of the coffin, like 99 red lightning bolts. It gave an unrivaled presence to the coffin.

Qingfeng Li began to review in his mind the array formation knowledge taught by Dark Night Emperor, trying to see if there was an array formation on the coffin.

He studied the patterns for a moment and found that the 99 flames were placed in a certain order.

Was it an emperor-grade fire array formation?

Qingfeng Li’s expression changed at this thought, astonishment, and joy in his eyes.

He was astonished that there was actually an emperor-grade array formation on it, since this array formation was very powerful and also very difficult to crack.

He was also pleased that he was able to identify the name of the array formation and that Emperor Night had taught him how to crack it.

Qingfeng Li was sure he could crack the fire array formation with the method taught by Dark Night Emperor.

Linger Yao asked, "Qingfeng Li, what did you find?"

Qingfeng Li smiled, saying, "There are 99 flames on the surface of the coffin and they form the fire array formation."

"You’re highly talented, even knowing about array formations!" Linger Yao complimented him and gave him a thumbs-up.

Outside the Spirit Emperor Cave, it was Qingfeng Li who had cracked the defense array formation and found the first flag of the nine array flags before everyone could enter the cave.

Now again he had identified the array formation on the red coffin. He was such a genius!
