Chapter 1297 Get Enlightenment Once Again
“Alas.”
Though he had a big smile of excitement, He Gaoming moaned and groaned. He openly expressed his jealousy of John Doe’s good luck because John Doe could break through at any time.
“Why would you envy me?”
Fang Qiu rolled his eyes and said, “You are the lucky dog today. When the brothers come here and see that you have broken through to the peak of the eighth-class, they will drool with envy!”
He Gaoming thought for a moment.
He couldn’t help feeling thrilled again.
The strength of these brothers was ordinary, and the strongest was Li Boqing, who had the same strength as him. After he took the super Dan Pellet given by John Doe, he also successfully advanced to a higher level: the peak of the sixth-class.
But now…
He Gaoming had broken through to the peak of the eighth-class in a twinkling. If Li Boqing learned that, how would he react?
How would the other brothers respond to the change?
“Oh, that sounds great. Then, forget it. I’ll go and see if there is any good stuff inside.”
He Gaoming chuckled, stood up immediately, and began scouting around for treasures.
Fang Qiu continued to read the bamboo slips on the desk.
But before he could concentrate on it…
“Woosh.”
In a flash, everything around him disappeared!
The thatched cottage disappeared from sight.
A mountain under numerous sparkling stars replaced the grassland. In the mountain, Fang Qiu sat on a flat piece of ground, and there was nothing in front of him.
There was a tree not far away. He Gaoming froze, with his hand on the tree!
“Hm?”
Fang Qiu’s brows lifted.
“I… I did nothing.”
At once, He Gaoming became agitated.
He was aware that he must have done something wrong and he became so anxious that he was very near to tears. “I just touched the wooden pillar outside the door. How could this happen?”
“A wooden pillar?”
Fang Qiu was struck dumb.
He recalled what had happened in Zangjiang.
The gate of the ancient ruin in Zangjiang vanished after they came out of it. Likewise, when he got out of the Egyptt relic, he could no longer open its gate when he stepped on the mechanism.
However, the treasures in the two relics had all been taken away.
Somehow, it made Fang Qiu feel hopeful. They only found a roll of bamboo slips in this relic. Besides, Fang Qiu didn’t touch the bamboo slips when the relic disappeared, so he didn’t take it out.
In this case, could the relic be opened again?
“Let’s go.”
With a stir of his mind, Fang Qiu got up and grabbed He Gaoming. They quickly returned to the innermost part of the ravine. When he took a closer look, he found that the stone in the crack was gone.
“I hope we can go in again.”
Taking a deep breath, Fang Qiu reached out, picked up a stone, and put it into the crack in the rock.
The next moment…
“Whoosh.”
The light screen appeared again!
“Great.”
Fang Qiu heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the light curtain.
Near him…
He Gaoming also reached out his hand to pat his chest.
When Fang Qiu returned to this site, he was worried that he couldn’t open it again. After all, he had not succeeded in reopening the first two relics.
“Perhaps, the ruin won’t disappear if we don’t take away the things inside.”
Fang Qiu nodded and thought, “Otherwise, how could this relic remain intact even after thousands of years?”
With this in mind…
Fang Qiu had a brainwave and found a good solution.
There might be something that existed as a foundation stone in each relic. It was like the blade of herb that connected Heaven and Earth in the terrain, or the core in each formation!
“The core of formation in the Zangjiang relic might be the jade in the wooden puppet!”
“And the scepter was very likely the formation core of the Egyptt ruin!”
At the thought of this…
Fang Qiu suddenly understood.
The entire relic could be considered a formation built by a great talent in ancient times.
And the core supported the existence of the whole formation.
Sure enough…
The core of the formation was different from its entry and exit points.
Once the core was destroyed, the formation would become invalid. But touching the formation’s entry and exit points would not affect the formation in the slightest!
“The previous two relics had too many things in the two ruins. Even if I had known this principle in advance, I still couldn’t have known which item was the formation core. But there was only one desk and one bamboo script in the thatched cottage of this relic. Only the bamboo script would be the formation core!”
Fang Qiu smiled.
If that was the case, he knew why the Egyptt relic didn’t disappear even after Nirvana Organization discovered the black matter.
However…
This was just his guess, which had not yet been fully confirmed.
Again, “the highest good” showed up on the light curtain before them. Fang Qiu grabbed He Gaoming and walked into it for the second time.
As Fang Qiu had expected…
They entered the same space.
Fang Qiu brought He Gaoming to the thatched cottage. Over there, the bamboo slips were still on the desk. All the things were the same as they had been before the relic disappeared.
“Go and touch the wooden pillar you’ve just touched.”
Fang Qiu said.
“I… I dare not.”
He Gaoming immediately gave in and said, “What if I make the relic disappear again? If the other brothers find it out, they will beat me to death!”
“You’re already at the peak of the eighth-class. Why are you afraid of them?”
Fang Qiu pursed his lips in disapproval.
“Eh?”
He Gaoming was stunned.
“Yes!
“I’m at the peak of the eighth-class.”
“But I still don’t dare to do it.”
He Gaoming shook his head and said, “What if I touch and lose it again?”
“Even if it happens, it’s not your fault. Go ahead!”
Fang Qiu rolled his eyes at He Gaoming and added, “Stop dawdling! Are you forcing me to take action?”
Upon hearing that…
He Gaoming smiled wryly. Then, he quickly opened the door and walked out. As he approached the wooden pillar on the left that supported the eaves, he put out his hand to touch it.
The scene before them flashed across their eyes.
They were out again.
The moment they appeared outside, Fang Qiu caught He Gaoming and went back to the relic gate. Once again, he put a small rock into the crack. Sure enough, the relic gate reappeared.
The two of them went back in again!
“Wow! I can’t believe my eyes!”
He Gaoming also noticed this, and he was instantly amazed by this surprising result.
“I see!”
With a smile, Fang Qiu took He Gaoming to the thatched cottage and said seriously, “Now, you know how to get in and out, but there is one thing I have to tell you. To prevent the relic from disappearing completely, you mustn’t touch the bamboo roll on the desk. Later, I will set a seal before the desk to prevent you from touching it!”
“If this bamboo roll is away from the desk for more than a certain period, the relic might disappear. If my guess is correct, the relic will be completely gone, and you will never get a chance to come back!”
He Gaoming listened to him carefully.
“So, that’s how it is.”
He Gaoming nodded knowingly and said, “Don’t worry. I won’t touch this bamboo roll. When our brothers come, I won’t allow them to touch it or even enter the door. They shouldn’t even touch the pillar! I will put up a sign before it to warn them!”
“Um.”
Fang Qiu nodded and said, “From now on, this relic will be the place where you can cultivate. The Qi of Heaven and Earth here is very rich. As for the wine factory, you can find a group of workers to make wine. You don’t have to guard it anymore. After all, you supply Heaven Dew to the whole Wulin. Whoever dares to touch your wine will become an enemy of all major Wulin forces. I can’t imagine anyone who would be so foolish as to do a thing like that. Only Nirvana Organization could do that. But if that happened, you wouldn’t be able to defend the factory with your current strength. Worse still, you might die.”
“In this place, you can raise your strength safely and quickly. Both basic needs will be fulfilled!”
He Gaoming repeatedly nodded in agreement.
He was wild with joy.
“And…”
Fang Qiu reminded him again, “Don’t tell anyone about the relic. You must keep it a secret. Otherwise, it will attract lots of greedy and cruel people full of wild ambitions. If you’re lucky, you’ll just get injured, but you guys may also lose your lives. Anyway, keep your mouth shut!”
“I will keep it a secret.”
He Gaoming immediately nodded and said, “It’s such a rare chance. Whoever tells others about this place must be a douchebag!”
“But…”
“For security reasons, we have to take over this mountain.”
Fang Qiu nodded and said, “Go ahead. You’re not short of money anyway.”
“Okay.”
He Gaoming grinned and said confidently, “Wait for my good news.”
When it was dawn…
He Gaoming went down the mountain, while Fang Qiu stayed in the relic. He sat before the desk and carried on reading ‘The Great Learning’ on the bamboo slips, hoping to enter the state of enlightenment again.
Unfortunately, he didn’t succeed even after reading for a long time.
“Spiritual enlightenment is indeed very esoteric. It can only be found by accident and not through seeking.”
Fang Qiu sighed with emotion. Instead of thinking about attaining enlightenment, he turned to read the bamboo slips thoroughly.
Yet, he couldn’t enter his previous state.
However, Fang Qiu felt his mental state improve each time he finished reading this script.
After some time…
He Gaoming came back with all the other brothers.
As soon as these brothers came in…
They were all shocked.
“Oh, gosh! The Qi of Heaven and Earth is so rich.”
“Isn’t this place too awesome?”
“No wonder you could break through to the peak of the eighth-class. It turns out that you did it in this blessed place. This explains how you made it!”
One after another, these brothers exclaimed with admiration
He Gaoming raised his head with satisfaction and enjoyment. Then, he led everyone to the thatched cottage. On the way, he told them all the problems they needed to pay attention to in detail.
After a while…
With the greatest of care, they gathered at the thatched cottage.
All the people stared silently at Fang Qiu.
“What’s the matter?”
Fang Qiu was surprised.
“The oldest.”
Li Boqing stood up, looked at Fang Qiu, and said with a smirk. “Please gain enlightenment again. We also want to improve our strength by two realms like Brother He.”
Fang Qiu shook his head with a wry smile and said, “I wish I could do that. But I could not get into the state even after I read the bamboo roll for a day. I guess I can’t do it at will.”
With that…
The brothers smiled bitterly in dismay. Then, they quickly separated from each other and walked around.
“Have you finished the job?”
Fang Qiu looked at He Gaoming and asked after his brothers went out.
“Sure!”
He Gaoming smiled proudly and said, “I’ve rented all the mountains around. In addition, I promised not to do any excavation on the mountains. If any bold ones secretly dig up these mountains again, I’ll ask some brothers to drive them away and make them disappear.”
“As for the wine factory, I thought your suggestion made sense, so I did as you said.”
“This way, we can devote ourselves to cultivation!”
Fang Qiu smiled and nodded.
All of this was precisely what he wanted.
“This place could ensure their safety and help them cultivate. When they are strong enough, they can go out. In the future, they won’t be scared even if they have to confront Nirvana Organization!”
