Chapter 844: Vanguard, The Leader

About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn later.

A ripple of space suddenly emerged, and the figure that had been waiting outside flashed their eyes and vanished without a sound.

The next moment.

The gate to Wan Guiyuan's Residence Space opened, and a Space Channel appeared.

Three figures walked out from the Space Channel one after another.

They were none other than Wang Jianqiang, Wen Ya, and Long Er.

"Junior Brother Wan, farewell."

After stepping out of the Space Channel, Wen Ya looked toward Wang Jianqiang.

Wang Jianqiang smiled and nodded, "Senior Sister Wen Ya, Fairy Long Er, if you have any needs in the future, feel free to come find me."

As he spoke, he maintained a moderate sense of distance in his words.

His behavior was proper, without the slightest overstepping.

Wen Ya and Long Er nodded lightly, then left together.

After Wen Ya and Long Er left, Wang Jianqiang turned and entered his residence.

The Space Channel vanished.

Amidst an imperceptible ripple, the figure hidden in the shadows appeared once more.

Looking at Wan Guiyuan's residence, a look of satisfaction appeared on their face.

"This kid knows his place."

They gave a light huff, then looked in the direction Wen Ya and Long Er had left, and upon thinking of Wen Ya, their expression turned somewhat helpless.

It was certainly impossible to make this girl cut off all contact with Wan Guiyuan.

However, if the two of them maintained such a proper demeanor, it was fine.

Let them be for the time being.

There are no walls that don't let wind through.

That kid Wan Guiyuan is treacherous and cunning; one day, his true colors will be exposed.

When that time comes, Wen Ya will naturally see him for who he is and take the initiative to keep her distance.

Thinking of this, Wen Tiansheng let out a sigh of relief, as if a burden had been lifted.

Although this descendant of his possessed peerless talent, her personality was too stubborn; once she made up her mind, it didn't matter what anyone said.

More importantly, her life-bound Spirit Beast, Long Er, was deeply loved by the Ancestor and was pampered to no end in daily life.

With these two factors combined, even he, the Sect Master, felt somewhat helpless.

He shook his head, his figure flashed, and he vanished once again.

……

After Wang Jianqiang returned to his Residence Space.

He grinned.

His previous invitation for Wen Ya and Long Er to come to his residence was indeed purely because he wanted to sit and chat.

And to let Wen Tiansheng set his mind at ease.

If he guessed correctly, that old thing Wen Tiansheng should have already left from outside his residence.

However, for the sake of caution, it was better to have less contact with Wen Ya and Long Er in the near future.

Daring to threaten him?

Isn't it just not becoming Dao Companions?

If we don't, we don't; it doesn't affect anything anyway.

Once that old thing lets down his guard, I will find an opportunity to strike again.

Heh heh heh~

……

After returning to the Pavilion.

Wang Jianqiang took out the Space Ring that Wen Tiansheng had given him.

The space inside the Space Ring was not small, and it was piled full of a dazzling array of resources.

There were various precious Medicinal Herbs and Pill Formulas, as well as a large number of Array Diagrams and materials for refining Array Disks……

Seeing the various resources that almost filled the vast space within the Space Ring, a smile appeared on Wang Jianqiang's face.

Although that old thing Wen Tiansheng was a bit of a dog, he was quite generous.

The resources in this ring were of astonishing value, giving his net worth a significant boost.

He casually rummaged through the resources in the ring.

A moment later, his expression suddenly stirred, and his attention fell upon an empty patch of ground within the Ring Space.

In this space piled with various resources, although this empty patch was not large, it was extremely conspicuous.

Placed on the empty ground were two Jade Slips.

With a thought, Wang Jianqiang took out the two Jade Slips, and his Spirit Sense surged into one of them.

A moment later.

A piece of information appeared in his mind.

"This is… the Beast Taming Art?"

His expression stirred.

The Beast Taming Art, the legacy cultivation technique of the Beast Taming Sect.

The Basic Beast Taming Art, Low-level Beast Taming Art, Intermediate Beast Taming Art, and Advanced Beast Taming Art were all derived from this technique.

When he first obtained the Basic Beast Taming Art, the system had prompted that to optimize and upgrade it into the Beast Taming Art, it would require consuming a full 300,000 Cultivation Points.

Now that he was able to obtain this complete version of the Beast Taming Art, it had actually saved him quite a few Cultivation Points.

He had not felt much benefit from the Beast Taming Art in terms of taming beasts, but it was truly useful for taming people.

It was a decent technique.

He "looked" at the Attribute Panel in his mind.

Behind the technique column, a new line of text had appeared.

"Beast Taming Art: Entry."

"Hm? Entry level?"

Wang Jianqiang's expression shifted.

The Basic Beast Taming Art was derived from the Beast Taming Art, and the two were interconnected.

Since he had already cultivated the Basic Beast Taming Art to the Consummation realm, it was not strange that it reached the Entry level when converted to the original Beast Taming Art.

Afterward, he was in no rush to improve the realm of the Beast Taming Art.

His consciousness withdrew from his mind, and his gaze fell upon another Jade Slip.

His Spirit Sense poured into it.

He discovered that what was recorded in this Jade Slip was not a technique, nor was it a Pill Formula, Artifact Diagram, or Array Diagram...

Instead, it was information regarding the Immortal Abandoned Land.

After reading the information in the Jade Slip, Wang Jianqiang's expression immediately became grave.

He had previously learned that after the Spirit Ranking Battle, those Outside the Realm might formulate a plan targeting the Immortal Abandoned Land.

Now it seemed the situation was far more serious than he had imagined.

Ever since that battle ten thousand years ago, Youzhou, due to its convenient location, had always maintained a stance of monopolizing the Immortal Abandoned Land.

If forces from the other seven continents wanted to get involved, they would be met with joint strikes from the Youzhou forces; plus, since Youzhou had yet to breach the Immortal Abandoned Land, the other seven continents were in no rush and remained in a state of watching, without rashly intervening.

But so much time had passed.

Youzhou had long failed to breach the Immortal Abandoned Land, and the patience of the forces from the other seven continents watching the Immortal Abandoned Land had been worn thin.

Not long ago, the top forces of the other seven continents joined together to pressure the various forces of Youzhou.

Faced with the joint pressure from the other seven continents and various unknown conflicts, the various forces of Youzhou finally compromised.

The Eight Continents negotiated and decided to join forces to attack the Immortal Abandoned Land.

The time for this attack was set for ten years later.

Because of the existence of the Boundary Wall, the Immortal Abandoned Land was like a closed region shrouded by an eggshell.

To break into it, one could only find a way to open up a passage first.

This passage was the Outer Realm Battlefield.

The plan of the Out-of-Boundary Cultivators was to first concentrate the power of the Nascent Soul Stage cultivators from the Eight Continents to form a vanguard, enter the Outer Realm Battlefield, and clear away the obstacles within the Outer Realm Battlefield.

Then, they would reinforce the Outer Realm Battlefield, allowing the true powerhouses from Outside the Realm to enter, crush all resistance in the Immortal Abandoned Land in one fell swoop, and seize this land of longevity!

The vanguard would be organized by continent; the Out-of-Boundary Eight Continents would each have their Nascent Soul Stage cultivators form a team, and one Leader would be selected to command the entire team.

The Out-of-Boundary Eight Continents would form a total of eight teams.

The eight Leaders would be the eight supreme commanders of the vanguard, possessing supreme authority.

And the extra reward for being first on the Youzhou Spirit Ranking was precisely to become a Leader of the vanguard attacking the Outer Realm Battlefield.

Once the Outer Realm Battlefield was breached and the goal achieved.

The eight Leaders would receive the primary merit and obtain massive resource rewards.

The extra reward for being first on the Spirit Ranking was precisely to become the Leader of the Youzhou vanguard!

After reading the information in the Jade Slip.

Wang Jianqiang's eyes lit up.

Given the disparity in the number of powerhouses between the Immortal Abandoned Land and Outside the Realm, once the Outer Realm Battlefield was opened, the Immortal Abandoned Land would have no power to resist.

Therefore, he had to intervene at the stage of opening the Outer Realm Battlefield.

Fortunately.

He was first on the Youzhou Spirit Ranking and could become the Commander of the Youzhou vanguard, one of the eight supreme commanders of the army attacking the Immortal Abandoned Land.

In this position, if he wanted to do something.

It would be much more convenient.
