Chapter 1225 - 1087: Preventing Trouble Before It Happens

Chapter 1225: Chapter 1087: Preventing Trouble Before It Happens

The turmoil on Qingyuan Star continued to spread, but Qu Jianlei and his party had already left the center of the storm.

In a blink of an eye, another two months had passed, and Bentley had finally adjusted his state to its best.

Then he submitted a request to Qu Jianlei, "I feel... like I might be able to attempt Breaking Through to the Supreme."

Qu Jianlei specially perceived his condition and finally confirmed it was indeed so.

But wanting to enter seclusion to advance also posed a problem—Bentley had a high probability of facing Tribulation Thunder!

The cultivation technique of Old Ben was calculated by Qu Jianlei from scratch from the very first step.

Throughout the entire process, Qu Jianlei had taken quite a few detours and made adjustments time and again.

Luckily, Bentley was tolerant of setbacks and kept his motivation high, struggling to persist under his guidance.

Up to now, the path that Old Ben has taken has become increasingly smooth, but the cultivation method... has severely deviated from the Awakened System.

There’s no other way; Qu Jianlei doesn’t have much knowledge about cultivating the electromagnetic attribute.

Although he could refer to other attribute cultivation systems, the differences objectively existed.

In this process, to ensure the correctness of the cultivation direction, Qu Jianlei heavily referred to his own cultivation system.

In the past, he was highly vigilant and did not want the Divine Land’s cultivation ideas to be leaked.

However, when it came to cultivating the electromagnetic attribute, Qu Jianlei really didn’t have many choices—he couldn’t just let Old Ben stagnate.

Now that Bentley was about to break through, he provided the final cultivation technique, yet he still felt it leaned more towards the Cultivation System.

Based on his experience, Old Ben was very likely to encounter Tribulation Thunder!

Strictly speaking, encountering Thunder Tribulation is a good thing, indicating Bentley could potentially go further.

But encountering Tribulation Thunder on Qingyuan Star would be a colossal problem—it would attract too much attention!

The nobility’s fiefs are sacred and inviolable, but that depends on what happens; the matter of Tribulation Thunder... is too heavy.

Qu Jianlei thought for a moment and decided not to hide from Old Ben, carefully explaining the pros and cons to him.

Contrarily, Bentley was quite happy about it, "I understand this, it’s indeed a good thing... Are you worried I might not withstand the Tribulation Thunder?"

Yet, Qu Jianlei responded candidly, "If you can’t withstand it, then it’s your fate, and there’s nothing much to complain about."

"I think so too," Bentley nodded indifferently. He genuinely viewed life and death lightly, maintaining a very calm mindset.

"Then what are you worried about, boss?"

"It’s the reaction possibly triggered by the Tribulation Thunder," Qu Jianlei replied seriously, "I think it’s inappropriate to break through on Qingyuan Star."

Bentley, of course, understood the gravity of the situation, and upon hearing this, he immediately expressed that the boss should arrange things as he sees fit.

Qu Jianlei decided to take him to a new base in the Blade Star Realm for seclusion—the conditions there were also suitable for a breakthrough.

However, before leaving, he still needed to inform everyone, as this breakthrough might take one or two years.

However, when Granny Jia learned of the news, she immediately volunteered, "I’ll go too, Tribulation Thunder... I’ve never seen it before."

Qu Jianlei explained that there might not necessarily be Tribulation Thunder, and he was just taking precautions.

But Granny Jia was very persistent, "I understand, it’s okay if not... But it’s best if I could gain some inspiration in the process."

She is indeed a person of great perseverance and determination, her thirst for knowledge is endless.

Granny Jia’s next step is to break through to beyond the Supreme, but she does not look down on the process of breaking through to the Supreme.

In fact, it’s not just her who is moved, but other Supremes... Even the Flower Scorpion is tempted.

Everyone knows that the boss doesn’t like to make a fuss, and since he considered the existence of Tribulation Thunder, it might really appear.

Even if there ultimately isn’t a Tribulation Thunder, it doesn’t matter, Old Ben’s breakthrough will definitely bring a different experience to everyone.

However, this brought about another issue: who would stay behind on Qingyuan Star?

Strictly speaking, it wouldn’t be a big deal if no one stayed behind, as they were just tenants, free to come and go.

But the key point is, not far from Qingyuan Star, there is a spatial fluctuation point.

The Nutrient Injection had already inquired and found out that the one stationed there was indeed the military’s top-secret action team directly subordinate to headquarters.

Clearly, this is the military trying to capture this spatial point and occupy the related opportunities and resources.

However, as time goes by, this news is gradually spreading and will only attract more attention in the future.

By then, if the military still wants to monopolize, the difficulty will become very high.

——In the Imperial, the military is not all-powerful; otherwise, even the Customs Enforcement Division wouldn’t be able to regulate them to some extent.

So, the prospective benefits of this fluctuation point really can’t be easily predicted as to whose hands they’ll fall into.

Based on the Nutrient Injection’s analysis, the most likely outcome is—sharing the benefits!

Even the military, as powerful as they are, may not be able to swallow this opportunity, so who else would dare to covet it alone?

After understanding the crux, even the arrogant Qu Jianlei and the paranoid Paranoid could only temporarily abandon thoughts of revenge.

Being ambushed was truly a terrible experience, however, the other party was also trying their best to protect their share.

People may not understand, but before the related interests are divided, it’s best not to actively attempt revenge.

Otherwise, that’s not just inciting hatred but truly courting death.

However, because of this, they cannot give up observing this fluctuation point.

If everyone evacuated from Qingyuan Star, they wouldn’t receive the news here immediately.

Anyway, Nutrient Injection absolutely refuses to stay behind, and he’s quite interested in witnessing the legendary Tribulation Thunder.

Finally, Celestial Sound spoke up, "If someone must stay, leave it to me."

Her words made the Supremes feel a bit embarrassed - so many High Tier Awakened, yet only a B-level remains?

Granny Jia couldn’t help but glance at Qinghu.

Qinghu was somewhat mystified by the look, "Shui Qing Senior, what are you implying by looking at me?"

The old lady felt embarrassed to speak up, so Qu Jianlei had to step in to smooth things over, "She knows that when I was crossing the Thunder Tribulation, you were present."

The Paranoid slightly nodded upon hearing this, "So... you really are Ran Bingluan?"

Regarding Qu Jianlei’s multiple identities, many had suspicions, and were mostly sure.

But it was rare for the boss to openly admit it like that.

Qinghu couldn’t help but comment, "How would I know you were crossing the Thunder Tribulation? I thought your attribute was Electromagnetic!"

Last time, she did have an opportunity to perceive the Tribulation Thunder, but at the time, she had no idea what a huge opportunity it was.

Since it was missed unintentionally, this time she must cherish it no matter what.

Seeing they couldn’t choose someone to stay, Nutrient Injection lightly coughed.

"How about this, Qinghu Supreme, you stay first? When Bentley is about to cross the Thunder Tribulation, we’ll send someone to fetch you?"

Qinghu was stunned upon hearing this and remained silent for a long time.

Nutrient Injection waited for a while before adding two sentences, "The main thing is during this time... you can also get acquainted with the Five Elements Battle Array."

Among the six Supremes, Qinghu is the only one who hasn’t trained much in the Battle Array.

-- Actually, she could replace Mu Yu, but the latter is accustomed to partnering with Paranoid; neither wants to break their pairing.

Moreover, in terms of individual combat power, Qinghu surpasses Mu Yu a bit, making her better suited to support the Battle Array.

Upon hearing this, Qinghu’s expression improved slightly, then she nodded, speaking sullenly.

"Remember to notify me when the time comes... for this time it’s settled, but next time I won’t allow it!"

Qu Jianlei looked at her, then at Nutrient Injection, always feeling there’s some intrigue between these two.

But considering they both know the one above the Supreme, and Nutrient Injection is even more trusted by that one, this outcome seems normal.

After the arrangements were made, Qu Jianlei and the others began tidying up the aftermath on Qingyuan Star.

Most of the Qi Gathering Array and Spirit Gathering Array were taken down, and traces of usage were cleaned.

Additionally, two computer setups had to be taken; as they were leaving for an extended period, Qu Jianlei must bring the tools.

The two setups took up considerable space, but Qu Jianlei was surprised to find the previously troubling spatial issue was no longer a concern!

Ultimately, it’s due to the numerous battles experienced over the years, resulting in an increasing collection of Storage Talismans.

Each battle sometimes costs them dearly, but the Storage Talismans have been rapidly accumulating all along.

Three days later, Qu Jianlei and the team departed on the Business Starship, leaving Qinghu and Celestial Sound behind in the territory.

Celestial Sound couldn’t help but ask Qinghu, "Sir, if we miss this time, will there truly be another chance?"

Though still young, she has an ambitious heart.

Qinghu calmly replied, "Don’t worry, following the boss, there are plenty of opportunities to witness miracles."

Celestial Sound sighed upon hearing this, "Such a person like the boss, being forced to hide everywhere, it’s truly unjust!"

Qinghu paused before smiling and shaking his head, "In fact, there are plenty of wise people in this world, and you will understand in the future."

About half a month after Qu Jianlei and his team left, the Military personnel returned to the Gustine family’s territory.

This time, the visitors were very assertive, insisting on seeing the tenants of the territory to understand the detailed whereabouts of the previous Business Starship.

The steward knew that most tenants had left not long ago, only two remained now.

However, he maintained his stance, "Sorry, the tenants must not be disturbed, please respect our professional ethics."

"Pfft, just an employee," this time the visitor was quite forceful, even speaking such words.

"I suggest you not make arbitrary decisions; Si Xi Supreme has been missing for so long, can you guarantee it has nothing to do with your guests?"

The steward remained unmoved, "The gentleman is joking, we don’t interfere with the guests’ affairs, just perform our duties."

The visitor’s face turned stern, "Stop telling me so much, go consult your tenants."

"The new head of the Military Police Department has arrived, highly focusing on Si Xi Supreme’s disappearance!"

"If your tenants cannot prove their innocence, you all must bear the corresponding consequences, this is no joke!"
