Chapter 1568 Change the Nationality
Before the gate of the ruins.
“I found it!”
Lord Virtuous analyzed and compared for a long time, finally seeing a spot on the light curtain of the gate of the ruins, where the character, Tao, was missing.
With a thought, Lord Virtuous immediately rushed towards that spot.
Approaching the light curtain of the gate of the ruins, Lord Virtuous gently reached out toward the spot he was staring at.
Then…
His hand actually went straight into the light curtain.
This scene made Lord Virtuous burst into laughter uncontrollably.
Before finding the gate of the ruins, he had speculated that the reason why John Doe and others were able to disappear so quickly was that they had found a way to enter the ruins.
Their ability to quickly find the way to enter the ruins meant that the way was easy to find.
Therefore…
He didn’t dare to give it too much thought.
To his surprise, he found the way so easily.
The spot where the character, Tao, was missing indeed allowed entry.
“Everyone, follow me.”
Lord Virtuous shouted and then stepped in.
At the same time…
Second Venerable and dozens of man in black who followed him, all looked at this scene in great surprise, and quickly gathered around at the summons of Lord Virtuous.
Lord Virtuous went in first, followed closely by Second Venerable.
Then the rest quickly followed suit.
Soon, all of them had entered.
They passed through the gate of the ruins.
In the blink of an eye, everyone from the Nirvana Organization had arrived in the ruins.
As soon as they gathered, the gate of the ruins quietly dissipated.
Just like when Fang Qiu and the others came in, Lord Virtuous and his followers saw this space that resembled a fairyland, gazing at the ethereal surroundings.
“Could there still be such a place in the world?”
“Is this a fairyland?”
“The Qi of Heaven and Earth is so abundant here. This place is incredible.”
For a moment…
Everyone couldn’t help but exclaim in awe.
In the eyes of Huaxianese, this place was like a fairyland, and even in the eyes of non-Huaxianese, it was also definitely a paradise.
Not only those men in black, but also Lord Virtuous and Second Venerable were stunned by everything in this space.
For one thing, this place was greatly beautiful, resembling a legendary fairyland!
More importantly…
They felt the incredibly rich Qi of Heaven and Earth in the air.
The Qi of Heaven and Earth was so rich that it flowed around them like water.
In addition…
There were all kinds of things condensed by the Qi of Heaven and Earth.
As well as the cranes soaring in the sky in the far distance. They fascinated the group of people.
After some time…
“Wake up! Keep up!”
Seeing that everyone else was immersed in the scenery, Lord Virtuous who was the quickest to wake up, immediately yelled to awaken everyone else from their enchantment with the beautiful scenery.
This group of people began to exchange exclamations and awe with each other.
This was without a doubt the most beautiful and memorable scene they had ever witnessed in their lives.
However…
No one was greedy for the marvelous scenery.
What they truly desired was the treasures hidden within this ruins, instead of the breathtaking scenery and the Qi of Heaven and Earth.
In the exclamations and admiration…
They followed behind Lord Virtuous and hurried forward.
Lord Virtuous was anxious.
He was not familiar with the secret realm of the ruins, so he had no idea what they might encounter inside. But he was certain that the treasures left by Laozi were hidden here.
Those from Huaxia had disappeared for so long, which meant that they had already entered and were likely deep within the ruins, or even they possibly had found the treasures.
Therefore…
He had to catch up.
He had to see what the treasures in the ruins were, and he had to snatch them away from Huaxianese.
And most importantly…
He had to kill John Doe here!
With an urgent desire burning in his heart, Lord Virtuous quickly pressed forward.
However, just as they had taken a few steps…
A loud voice suddenly resounded in the sky.
“Are you Huaxianese? If you’re not, retreat!”
The moment this voice appeared, everyone present abruptly stopped in their tracks, frozen on the spot.
Because they found out…
At the moment when the voice sounded, they had all sensed an extremely domineering Qi of Heaven and Earth surging within their bodies. They didn’t even dare to move for fear that the Qi of Heaven and Earth would directly destroy their internal organs!
The Qi of Heaven and Earth began to circulate within these people’s bodies.
The next moment…
Boom!
A loud bang echoed.
Everyone hurriedly turned their heads to look.
There…
They saw that the source of the loud bang was actually a man in black. Upon the bang, this man’s face turned pale instantly. It was as if an immense force was pulling him, and he involuntarily flew back towards the gate of the ruins.
Just as the first person was being blasted away…
More than ten of the men in black were also sent flying at the same time. No one knew if they were dead or alive.
As for the ones from Huaxia among them, they didn’t feel anything wrong at all, looking at those who had been sent flying in confusion.
And ahead of them…
Following behind Lord Virtuous, Second Venerable wore relaxed expressions. He was truly a Huaxianese. Although he had sensed the overwhelmingly domineering Qi of Heaven and Earth within their bodies, he did not feel anything wrong.
Because the domineering Qi of Heaven and Earth was extremely gentle. After circling around his body a few times, it gradually dissipated without causing any harm.
After the Qi of Heaven and Earth disappeared from his body, Second Venerable let out a sigh of relief.
Then he turned his head to look around.
Then…
He noticed that in front of him, Lord Virtuous, who had his back turned, as well as the dozens of incapable gurus following closely behind them, remained in place.
This situation relieved him greatly.
After all, they were the most powerful force of the Nirvana Organization in Zhongdong.
If it weren’t for the many losses the Nirvana Organization had suffered before at the hands of John Doe, there would be no chance for those ones from Huaxia to occupy this place. Also, the Nirvana Organization would have infiltrated their men into the ruins in advance and taken away all the treasures within.
At the thought of this…
Second Venerable’s anger surge uncontrollably.
John Doe.
This time, he would definitely die!
However…
Just as Second Venerable got confident and solely focused on getting the situation here to end quickly so that he could follow Lord Virtuous to catch up John Doe and unleash a massacre…
Lord Virtuous, standing in front of him, suddenly turned around.
“Uh?”
As soon as Lord Virtuous turned around, Second Venerable was dumbfounded.
He clearly saw that Lord Virtuous’s face had turned red from holding his breath, and Lord Virtuous also looked incredibly unpleasant.
At a glance, he knew that something was wrong!
“My Lord Virtuous, what’s wrong with you?”
Second Venerable hurriedly asked.
“I can’t hold on anymore.”
Lord Virtuous gritted his teeth, grabbed Second Venerable’s shoulder, and said, “I’m going to be shaken out by this force. It’s up to you now. I’ll wait outside for you. Be careful!”
“What?”
Second Venerable looked at Lord Virtuous in surprise and said, “Aren’t you also from Huaxia? How could you be shaken out?”
“I…”
Lord Virtuous gritted his teeth and said after a moment of silence, “In order to hide my identity, I obtained citizenship from another country. I thought my Huaxianese bloodline would still work here!”
Hearing this…
Second Venerable’s face twitched uncontrollably.
He couldn’t believe that Lord Virtuous had even changed his nationality.
The most terrifying thing was…
Although Lord Virtuous had Huaxianese blood flowing through his veins, in this situation, he could still be shaken out just because of changing his nationality.
How did this mysterious and powerful force discover that he had changed his nationality?
Could it be that this force could capture souls?
Could it invade a person’s consciousness and search through their memories?
It seemed that…
This was the only possibility.
Otherwise, how could it be so accurate?
“I didn’t expect it to be like this!”
Lord Virtuous smiled bitterly.
He really hadn’t expected it.
Inside the ruins of Laozi, there was actually such a challenge.
He was also from Huaxia, so he understood the significance of this ban, but even his nationality could be detected, which was truly excessive.
At this very moment…
He regretted it in his heart.
Why?
Why had he changed his nationality?
Huaxianese nationality was something that millions of people had dreamed of but could not obtain. It was the most difficult nationality to acquire in the world. How could he have given it up?
Unfortunately, it was too late for regrets now!
Boom!
A loud explosion sounded.
Even though he was formidably powerful, reaching the Flower Core Formation, he couldn’t resist the repelling force of the overbearing Qi of Heaven and Earth. After managing to resist for more than ten seconds, he finally couldn’t hold on any longer and was violently blasted away by that mysterious and powerful Qi of Heaven and Earth.
Seeing Lord Virtuous disappear in an instant…
Second Venerable furrowed his brows, knowing that he could only rely on himself from now on.
But…
He was not afraid.
Because he had brought many people with him this time, and even though non-Huaxianese all had been eliminated, almost everyone left was an incapable guru.
Even if he caught up with John Doe and the others, he was not afraid at all.
“From now on, listen to my command.”
After shouting at everyone, Second Venerable waved his hand and immediately led everyone forward.
Just like Fang Qiu and the others…
They had also experienced the cleansing and baptism of the Qi of Heaven and Earth on their bodies, heard Laozi’s lecture and arrived at the center of the boundless blue water, where they saw the appearance of the Heavenly Ladder and began their climbing.
On the Heavenly Ladder.
Their experiences were exactly the same as Fang Qiu and the others.
This first section of the Heavenly Ladder posed no difficulty at all, and it was merely an experience of the twenty-four solar terms.
Therefore…
This group of people quickly passed the twenty-four steps in the first section.
After that, they arrived at the location of the spatial rift and found that there was no path ahead. They had no idea what to do next, so they had to stop and ponder.
Right now…
In the sky, above the clouds…
In the Forages Garden, the crowds had already picked all the spiritual herbs. Due to the abundance of spiritual herbs, they couldn’t hold them in their hands at all, so they had to take off their coats or take out their bags to contain the herbs, and then they secured the coats or bags to their bodies with satisfaction.
Fang Qiu also harvested a lot of spiritual herbs. Seeing that everyone had almost finished their picking, he looked around again and confirmed that there was nothing else in the Forages Garden. Only then did he wave his hand to gather everyone and continue to move forward.
