Rapid Development, Number One on the Northwest Continent

Since the exchange meeting, the Tian Shu Alliance has entered a period of rapid development, and the entire landscape of the Northwest Continent has been completely rewritten.

Based on the Jia Ma Empire and the Black-Corner Region, the Tian Shu Alliance expanded rapidly, with one Vientiane Auction House after another opening and one Tian Shu Alliance branch after another being established.

Those medium and small empires, with only Dou Zong and Dou Emperor within them, were naturally no match for the Tian Shu Alliance and directly became subordinate empires of the Tian Shu Alliance.

Because the Tian Shu Alliance had no intention of exploiting other forces, but merely replaced the original dominant power in the empire, the degree of exploitation suffered by other forces within the empire was actually reduced.

Moreover, the Vientiane Auction House did indeed have a complete selection of items, which actually made transactions more convenient throughout the empire, and everything became better.

Thus, a strange phenomenon emerged.

Despite being the invaders, the Tian Shu Alliance was surprisingly welcomed by most of the forces and residents of the invading empire.

This progress continued until the Tian Shu Alliance entered the central area of the Northwest Continent, which was the true core region of the Northwest Continent, where the concentration of heaven and earth energy was much higher than in other places.

The empires that can establish themselves here must have rulers whose strength is at least at the High-Star Dou Zong, and there are even Dou Venerate forces like the Lion Underworld Sect.

Thus, competition naturally began.

But how could these forces possibly compete with the Tian Shu Alliance?

This is because after the exchange meeting, many Alchemist joined the Tian Shu Alliance, which gave the Tian Shu Alliance a significant lead in the number of Alchemist over all other forces.

Furthermore, thanks to the resource gathering capabilities of Vientiane Auction House, these Alchemist have no shortage of Medicinal Herbs to refine pills.

With such an absolute quantity and incredibly favorable prices for pills, no force could possibly compete with the Tian Shu Alliance.

Unable to compete in business, everything naturally veers towards a contest of force.

But it was only at this moment that the major powers of the Northwest Continent were astonished to discover that the Tian Shu Alliance, which was still considered a new force, had already surpassed any of their individual forces in terms of combat strength.

The entire Tian Shu Alliance has two legitimate Dou Venerate on the surface: Venerable Skyfire and Xiao Yi Xian.

With the addition of the three Heavenly Demon Puppet with Dou Venerate power and the unfathomable Xiao Yan, there are a total of six Dou Zun expert!

What's even more shocking is that Xiao Yi Xian is not an ordinary Dou Venerate at all, but a First-Turn Dou Venerate!

The reason why the various forces in the Northwest Continent knew this was because the Tian Shu Alliance had expanded its influence into an empire ruled by a Dou Venerate power.

This Dou Venerate power is called Waning Moon Sect, which is almost on par with the Lion Underworld Sect. Its sect leader has reached the level of Four-Star Dou Venerate, ranking among the top ten powers in the Northwest Continent.

Even when Venerable Skyfire made a move, he could only barely defeat the opponent after using his trump card, the Five Wheel Fire Method.

After their defeat, the Waning Moon Sect should have retreated, but unexpectedly, they still had Waning Moon Sect up their sleeve: an ancestor who was an Eight-Star Dou Zun expert.

Just when all the major powers thought the Tian Shu Alliance would be slaughtered by the Waning Moon Sect's patriarch, Xiao Yi Xian made her move.

The moment the Nether Poison Flame was unleashed, it burned the mountain where the Waning Moon Sect was located into a poisonous mountain, leaving the Eight-Star Dou Zun ancestor unable to even put up a fight.

Suddenly, all factions had a new perspective on the Tian Shu Alliance.

Never try to fight them head-on!

As for Xiao Yi Xian, who was instrumental in the victory, she went too far and burned down the Waning Moon Sect, so she was given a beating by Xiao Yan.

After all, this established a ruthless image, but all the resources of the Waning Moon Sect were wasted.

Unexpectedly, the Waning Moon Sect had a peculiar approach; most of its treasures were not stored within the Waning Moon Sect, but rather hidden within the mountainside of a small hill next to the sect's main peak.

This was something Zi Yan only realized when her treasure-hunting Heaven-Swallowing Talent came into play during a previous visit.

Afterwards, Xiao Yan directly gave most of the Medicinal Herbs to Zi Yan to refine into pills, which he then gave to Zi Yan as a reward.

The day after the pills were given out, the Snow Demon Sky Ape came in a panic to report that Zi Yan had died.

In a panic, Xiao Yan went to investigate and found out that Zi Yan had been unable to control her appetite and had eaten too many pills at once, causing her body to absorb too much energy that she could not digest in a short time, which led to her falling into a coma.

Zi Yan is fine, but Xiao Yan is in trouble.

Having been exonerated and given a lesson for her innocence, the Xiao Yi Xian decides to retaliate.

So, Xiao Yi Xian gave Xiao Yan a verbal lesson, but ended up foaming at the mouth, failing to avenge her great grudge and instead allowing Xiao Yan to win again. How tragic...

Let's get back to the main topic.

After the Waning Moon Sect was eliminated, the Tian Shu Alliance's development speed was accelerated even further.

In many countries, Vientiane Auction House and Tian Shu Alliance branches have begun to appear.

However, it was at this point that problems began to emerge.

The Northwest Continent is so vast.

If you really want to calculate it, it's no less than the surface area of the Earth in Xiao Yan's previous life.

In such a vast territory, it is practically impossible to unify all the empires.

No matter how powerful a force is, its manpower is ultimately limited, and no matter how powerful a Chief is, he cannot possibly have the energy to govern all areas.

So here's the problem: if you can't govern all the areas, you'll inevitably have to delegate some of your territories to others.

When the emperor is far away and the country is under his command, it is inevitable that his subordinates will harbor rebellious thoughts.

Gradually, the entire Northwest Continent will fall into division once again.

The Tian Shu Alliance now seems to be embarking on such a path.

In the eyes of the major powers, the Tian Shu Alliance could not possibly govern so many forces, because Xiao Yan could not possibly have enough trusted people to be assigned to every place.

The final outcome will inevitably be that the Tian Shu Alliance, like them, will occupy a large empire as its base of power, and then support other forces to govern other empires on their behalf, forming a cooperative and subordinate relationship. It is impossible for them to rely on existing forces to control the empires on their own; they will inevitably have to share some of the 'cake'.

But at that moment, something unexpected happened.

Xiao Yan didn't use any human powerhouses to manage those Tian Shu Alliance branches established in various empires!

Instead, they somehow found a group of Tier 7 Magical Beast.

Incredibly, these magical beasts, who were originally hostile to humans, actually obeyed Xiao Yan's orders.

He completely obeyed Xiao Yan's commands, helped manage the forces, and had no disloyal intentions whatsoever.

Absolutely amazing.

In doing so, the plans that the top powers had previously made were nipped in the bud.

With the monsters stationed in various branches, the empire's local forces couldn't stir up any trouble at all.

Moreover, Xiao Yan had been having Venerable Skyfire establish Space Channel in various places.

With the Space Channel, they could quickly travel to various parts of the Northwest Continent.

At the same time, Xiao Yan also applied his [Balance] Heaven-Swallowing Talent to the Space Channel, making it more stable, eliminating the need for annual inspections and maintenance, and preventing Spatial Turbulence, which was truly extremely convenient.

Thus, within just a few months, the Tian Shu Alliance had become the dominant force in the Northwest Continent, and it was only a matter of time before it unified the entire Northwest Continent.

It was at this time.

A somewhat shocking message was uncovered by an unknown force.

The Tian Shu Alliance Master, who is now famous throughout the Northwest Continent, is actually a young man who is not even twenty years old!
