“Forty gates of heaven! There are so many of them!”
Dong Guoyao said with a frown.
In fact, the Dragon Group’s side had always kept a watchful eye on the construction of those Heavenly Towers.
It was only that these Heavenly Towers were distributed all over the world, so even if the Dragon Group wanted to have complete control over their dynamics, it was still very difficult to do so.
Over the past year, the Dragon Group had only been able to monitor a dozen of the Heavenly Towers under construction.
But now, forty Heavenly Towers had opened at the same time, which was beyond Dong Guoyao’s expectation!
Li Nan’s face was also incomparably gloomy at this moment.
Another forty Heavenly Gates had opened, and counting the thirty Heavenly Gates that had already opened, the number of Heavenly Gates that had opened was now a total of seventy!
Li Nan remembered very clearly that the total number of Heavenly Gateways that the Shura Palace had wanted to build before was one hundred and eight.
And now, the number they had already completed was already more than half!
As long as the Shura Palace completed all of those last thirty-eight Heavenly Towers, then the conditions for the resurrection of the Shura Mother Immortal would have been met.
At that point, I’m afraid that everything would be really hard to stop!
To be honest, Li Nan felt the urge to destroy all the completed Heavenly Towers with his own strength.
However, Li Nan knew very well that this was unlikely.
Now, almost everyone in the secular world had been blinded by the lies of the Shura Palace.
They had already decided that the Tongtian Pagoda Project was a great good that would change the times, and if Li Nan forced those Tongtian Pagodas to be destroyed, it would be tantamount to making enemies with the whole world.
At that time, not only would Lai Nan be hated by the strongest people in the world, but also, the Shura Palace, which had been hiding behind the scenes, would come forward against Lai Nan.
No matter how strong Li Nan was, even if he had the help of the Yin God, it would be very difficult to win under such circumstances.
Therefore, Li Nan could only think about the idea of destroying the Tower of Heaven by force.
Afterwards, Li Nan then thought of something else and said, “It’s a good thing that this time, Yanxia’s side is still holding.”
Just now, Li Nan had already used his divine thoughts to probe, and the forty Heavenly Gates that were opened were all in other places, but none of them were opened in Yanxia, which was the only thing that made Li Nan feel relieved.
Only, after Dong Guoyao heard this, he sighed.
“Actually, this is not a good thing for us ……”
Li Nan was very clear about what Dong Guoyao meant.
Nowadays, the entire secular world, large and small, had opened the Heavenly Gate.
And opening the Heavenly Gate would mean a greater supply of spiritual qi, more cultivation resources, and more opportunities for communication and exchange with the True Martial World.
Even those palm-sized places now even had many more Martial Dao powerhouses.
Only my own side, the place that should have been at the forefront and had the most cultivation resources, was now lagging behind all the other powers in these areas.
Moreover, this was just the beginning.
As those other places continued to raise their cultivation levels with the help of the Heavenly Gate, then the gap between Yanxia and them would grow wider and wider.
This was naturally a very unfavourable thing for Yanxia.
Li Nan was also very clear about this, and in his opinion, it was really a matter of enduring humiliation now.
“One day, they will thank us for the sacrifice we have made!”
Li Nan said from the bottom of his heart.
Dong Guoyao, however, sighed again.
“However, not everyone is willing to see such an outcome ……”
Dong Guoyao said somewhat helplessly.
Li Nan also almost understood Dong Guoyao’s meaning.
Before, Xiao Dust Star had already told Li Nan that within them, there had also been different voices for a long time already.
There were quite a few people who were also desperately hoping that their side would agree to the construction of the Tongtian Tower.
As time went on and the gap widened, such voices had become louder and louder.
Moreover, after today’s simultaneous opening of these forty Heavenly Towers, more people would definitely be on the side of agreeing to the construction of the Heavenly Towers.
Just as Xiao Chenxing had said before, it was only a matter of time before they agreed to the construction of the Heavenly Tower!
It would be sooner or later!
And all they had to do was to buy as much time as possible, to come up with a response before the construction of all the Heavenly Towers was completed!
That day, the news of the forty Heavenly Gates opening in unison made headlines in all the media around the world.
Some said that this represented the dawn of a new era.
It represented that the world was one step closer to the era of global martial cultivation!
Li Nan felt that this was simply a sadness.
Over the next week, news about the forty Heavenly Gates opening in unison continued to be reported.
The lives of the people in those places where the Heavenly Tower had been established and navigated with the True Martial Realm were all greatly changed.
Being in the position of Acting Dragon King, Li Nan could also feel the pressure from above.
Luckily, Li Nan was only an Acting Dragon King and could not replace Xiao Chenxing in the internal discussions, otherwise, Li Nan felt that he would have been driven mad by the pressure from all sides!
Even so, Li Nan would still be disturbed by the constant summons to meetings.
This made Lai Nan couldn’t help but admire Xiao Chenxing.
Lai Nan didn’t even know how his own brother Xing was actually getting by under such great pressure.
On this day, just when Li Nan was overwhelmed by those calls for meetings, his mobile phone suddenly rang.
Surprisingly, it was Lu Jianghai calling.
Li Nan knew very well that if there was nothing important, the other party would not call him.
So, without thinking much, Li Nan directly answered the phone.
“Hello, Old Lu, is something wrong?”
Li Nan asked.
“It’s like this, Young Master Nan, some time ago we have started to try to develop our business over in the True Martial World, and the results so far are quite okay, and we have made some progress. Moreover, we have also established our Pill King Hall branch in the True Martial Realm.”
Old Lu reported.
“True Martial Realm? A branch?”
Hearing these words, Li Nan could not help but smile bitterly.
Previously, Lu Jianghai had indeed also told him that he wanted to try to expand the Pill King Hall’s business over to the True Martial Realm.
Nowadays, as the True Martial World continued to infiltrate the secular world and exchanges between the two sides continued to increase, it seemed that it had become an inevitable drive for the secular world to develop business over to the True Martial World.
Moreover, just over a month ago, the Global Monetary Organisation of the Secular World has officially announced that it will try to incorporate the common currency of the True Martial World, True Martial Gold, into the currency of the Secular World.
In other words, to a certain extent, the currencies of the True Martial World and the Secular World can now be used together!
This was simply a huge boost to those who traveled to the True Martial Realm to do business.
The reason why Lu Jianghai and the others were running the Pill King Hall was to make more money for Li Nan.
Now, since there was an opportunity to make money from the True Martial World, for a successful businessman like Lu Jianghai, it was natural that he would not miss such a good opportunity.
Li Nan also knew very well that this was bound to be a big trend, and moreover, the number of martial artists over in the True Martial World was far more than that over in the Secular World.
With a large base, the chances of making money would naturally be greater.
Therefore, Li Nan also thought that there was no harm in trying it out.
So, without even thinking about it at that time, Li Nan directly agreed.
However, Li Nan did not expect that in such a short period of time, Lu Jianghai had even built the branch in the True Martial World!
This speed was indeed a bit too fast!
“Not bad, it seems like you guys are really working hard!”
Li Nan praised.
“Haha, many thanks to Young Master Nan for the compliment!”
To be able to hear Li Nan’s personal praise was simply a great honour for Lu Jianghai.
Afterwards, one could only hear Lu Jianghai continue, “Actually, I’m calling here because I want to ask Young Master Nan about it. Tomorrow is the opening of the first branch of the Pill King Hall in the True Martial World, I wonder if Young Master Nan has time to go to the ribbon cutting ceremony?”
“Ribbon-cutting?”
Li Nan was stunned.
In fact, he had little interest in such matters.
However, once he thought of continuing to stay here in the Dragon Group, there would definitely be another pile of calls urging him to go to the meeting, Li Nan thought that it would be better to go there to the True Martial World and still have a clean slate to hide in.
So, Lai Nan didn’t think much about it and said straight away, “Of course, we can go there together tomorrow.”
“Really?!”
Lu Jianghai looked very surprised.
In fact, Lu Jianghai was only asking as a test, but he did not expect that Young Master Nan would really agree.
“Alright then, then I will pick up Young Master Nan early tomorrow morning!”
After saying that, Lu Jianghai hung up the phone.
Early the next morning, Lu Jianghai picked up Li Nan and went directly to Guanghai Airport, where a private jet was already waiting.
Li Nan was originally a little curious as to how ordinary people today were able to travel from the secular world to the True Martial World.
It was only after the private plane then travelled all the way to Sakura and entered the True Martial Realm directly at a heavenly gate on the sea around Sakura that Li Nan finally understood everything.
Only to see that not long after the private plane had passed through the Heavenly Gate, a modern airport could already be seen far below on the coast!
Seeing this scene, it was only then that Li Nan could not help but marvel in his heart that the communication between the secular world and the True Martial World had actually reached such a level nowadays.
From the secular world, it was actually possible to arrive at the True Martial World directly by plane!
If this were done in the past, it would be something that one would not even dare to think about!
In his heart, Li Nan could not help but think that if, behind the opening of these Heavenly Gates, what was hidden was not a huge conspiracy like the resurrection of the Shura Mother Immortal, but merely the passage of the two worlds by air, it was actually a good thing for the two worlds.
