Chapter 1241: Gentleman Alliance Outside the Realm Branch

Watching Nancheng Kong put away the Image Recording Stone, Wang Jianqiang said calmly, "Well, Kong."

"You have reached the limit of the Spirit Transformation Stage now, and can attempt the Integration Stage at any time."

"How are your preparations for the breakthrough coming along?"

Wang Jianqiang's sudden change of topic caught Nancheng Kong off guard; he shook his head, "The Integration Tribulation is no small matter; I am still in the midst of preparing."

"I happen to have some Pills that can help you pass the Integration Tribulation; would you like to have them?" Wang Jianqiang began, his tone filled with an inexplicable sense of temptation.

Upon hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Nancheng Kong's eyes immediately lit up.

With a howl, he lunged forward, "Foster Father, you are still the best to me."

Wang Jianqiang was startled and subconsciously took a step back.

Nancheng Kong missed his target, crawled to Wang Jianqiang's side using his hands and feet, and grabbed onto Wang Jianqiang's calf.

"Foster Father, give it to me quickly~~"

Wang Jianqiang's cheek twitched, and suppressing the urge to kick him away, he smiled, "Kong, you know how precious Pills that assist in passing the Integration Tribulation are. Of course, since you are my... foster son, I certainly won't be stingy with you."

"But before that, I have a small favor I need you to do; you wouldn't refuse, would you?"

"Of course not!"

Nancheng Kong waved his hand with an air of righteousness, "Boss, just say the word. Even if it means going through fire and water, I, Nancheng Kong, will absolutely not blink an eye."

"It's not that serious."

Wang Jianqiang smiled and waved his hand, "I am a person who always likes to see things through to the end."

"If a matter is only half-finished, it feels very uncomfortable."

"You understand what I mean, right?"

Nancheng Kong was stunned and shook his head, "I don't understand."

Wang Jianqiang smiled helplessly, "You, you are usually so smart, why can't you figure this out now?"

At this point, he paused, "That Image Recording Stone..."

Nancheng Kong widened his eyes, "You want it?"

Wang Jianqiang nodded with a smile.

"How can that be?"

Nancheng Kong shook his head repeatedly, "I, Nancheng Kong, have always been loyal and filial; how could I betray my mom and dad for the sake of some benefits?"

"I can't do it."

"Then forget it."

Wang Jianqiang shook his head with regret.

Nancheng Kong was dumbfounded.

No...

It's a matter of haggling.

He was just posturing to get more benefits.

How could he just forget it?

He hurriedly gave a dry cough, "Boss, I've thought about it carefully. You are so good to me, it would be bad to refuse you outright."

Wang Jianqiang's expression shifted, "Oh? What do you mean?"

"My dad taught me from a very young age that one must be righteous."

Nancheng Kong straightened his expression and looked at Wang Jianqiang with complete sincerity, "Boss is the best friend I have in this life. For the sake of the righteousness in my heart, I cannot refuse you."

As he spoke, he flipped his palm, and an Image Recording Stone appeared in his hand.

"Take it."

After saying this, he generously presented the Image Recording Stone to Wang Jianqiang.

Afterwards, he thought for a moment and couldn't help but add, "Well, Boss, remember to destroy it after you finish watching, otherwise if my mom and dad find out, I'll have to waste my breath explaining it to them."

"It's quite troublesome."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jianqiang gave him a look that was neither a smile nor a frown.

"You can rest assured in how I do things; I will absolutely not pass it on."

Having said that, Wang Jianqiang put the Image Recording Stone away.

"These are the Pills that can help you pass the Integration Tribulation."

With a wave of his hand, several Jade Bottles appeared in front of Nancheng Kong.

Seeing this, the trace of worry in Nancheng Kong's heart immediately dissipated, and he happily put the Pills away.

In the time that followed.

Wang Jianqiang returned all the way to the Gentleman Alliance.

Compared to the journey there, the two of them returned at a much slower pace.

A full five months later.

They finally returned to the Gentleman Alliance.

After returning to the Gentleman Alliance, Wang Jianqiang first summoned Dong Yue and the other women to distribute the Pills that his Will Avatar had refined on the journey back, which could assist in passing the Integration Tribulation.

He also explained to the women the matter of entering the Outside the Realm Sea Area.

Hearing that Wang Jianqiang was going to the Outside the Realm Sea Area.

The women were filled with worry.

"Senior Brother, I will go with you."

Mu Lingxi spoke up.

"I want to go too."

The little chick immediately joined the group.

Afterwards, Xing Li, Qingcheng, Wen Ya, Long Er...

The women also spoke up one after another, wanting to follow.

Wang Jianqiang shook his head, "The Sea Region is fraught with crises, and I have special means to save my life; it is too dangerous for you to follow."

"It is better to stay at the Gentleman Alliance and try to break through to the Integration Stage."

Seeing that Wang Jianqiang had made up his mind, the women could only choose to obey.

"Send these Pills to Yu Yao and the others who manage the branch alliance."

Wang Jianqiang took out four more portions of Pills and handed them to Dong Yue.

Afterwards, he found Mo Wuming and Bai Wuqing, and amidst Nancheng Kong's somewhat darkened expression, he gave each of them a portion of Pills.

Then he left the Gentleman Alliance alone, passed through the Boundary Wall Passage, and arrived Outside the Realm.

Wang Jianqiang hovered in the air, gazing at the surrounding Sea Region.

After identifying the direction, he flew straight toward Youzhou.

In the border region of Youzhou near the Inner Sea, a new top-tier power had risen in recent years.

It was named the Gentleman Alliance.

Within a fixed area, resources are often limited.

The rise of a new top-tier power will inevitably squeeze the resources of the established powers in the same area.

For the established top-tier powers in this region, the rise of the Gentleman Alliance was naturally not a good thing.

Normally.

These established powers would certainly unite to suppress the Gentleman Alliance.

But until now, this scene had not appeared.

It was not because the power-holders of those established powers were kind, but because they dared not.

The Gentleman Alliance was not an emerging power without any foundation.

Rather, it was a power that had developed from within the Immortal Abandoned Land.

Regarding the Gentleman Alliance in the Immortal Abandoned Land, these top-tier powers all had some understanding.

It was not because the Gentleman Alliance was that strong.

But because...

The Gentleman Alliance was Wang Jianqiang's sect.

Wang Jianqiang, a Spirit Transformation Stage cultivator.

Such cultivation, if placed in some remote area, might be enough to establish a sect and become an ancestor.

But looking at Outside the Realm or the entire Immortal Abandoned Land, a Spirit Transformation Stage cultivator was no different from an ant.

But Wang Jianqiang was different.

Wang Jianqiang was not only a powerful Alchemist, but he also possessed terrifying influence within the Immortal Abandoned Land.

Besides that.

The Beast Taming Sect, the Sacred Palace, and the Ancient God Palace were all very friendly toward him.

With this influence of his, a single word from him.

Not to mention more.

A dozen or twenty Great Vehicle Stage cultivators could be gathered in a short time.

Such power was enough to make over ninety percent of the top-tier powers Outside the Realm tremble with fear.

Besides Wang Jianqiang.

There was another reason why the established top-tier powers in this region dared not move against the Gentleman Alliance branch.

That was...

The person in charge of this Gentleman Alliance branch was Xuan Ji.

When the various powerhouses Outside the Realm last invaded the Immortal Abandoned Land, the scene of Xuan Ji killing the Youyun Holy Lord was seen by all the Great Vehicle cultivators Outside the Realm.

This was no secret.

All the top-tier powerhouses were very clear about it.

Today's Xuan Ji was no longer what she used to be.

She had already become a peak powerhouse even stronger than the Youyun Holy Lord.

Even without Wang Jianqiang as a backer, just looking at Xuan Ji, those top-tier powers in this region dared not easily make a move against the Gentleman Alliance.

Precisely because of this dual Deterrence.

This branch of the Gentleman Alliance Outside the Realm had always developed very steadily and smoothly.

The momentum of development was steady and rapid.

Although the time since its establishment was still short, in some aspects, it already had a trend of catching up to those established top-tier powers.

Wang Jianqiang traveled through the Inner Sea all the way and arrived at this region where Youzhou connected to the Inner Sea.

Before leaving the Immortal Abandoned Land.

He had already heard about the Gentleman Alliance establishing a branch Outside the Realm.

Besides that.

The Great Wilderness Immortal Palace and several other top-tier powers of the Immortal Abandoned Land had also established branches Outside the Realm.

The location where the Gentleman Alliance branch was established was right in this coastal region where Youzhou connected to the Inner Sea.

He identified the direction and flew toward the location of the Gentleman Alliance branch.
