In the following period, Wang Xiaoqiang diligently cultivated while continuously seeking enlightenment. With the assistance of the "Ode to Righteousness," Wang Xiaoqiang's "Path of Courage" rapidly strengthened.

Half a month later, the "Courage" within him had grown as large as a city gate, far surpassing Fang Qiu's "Way of Etiquette" and closely chasing the "Sacred Dao" of the Old Master.

As the Power of Dao is continuously comprehended, it gradually grows. Once it breaks through its limits, it will reach the realm of the "Sacred Dao."

The Power of the Sacred Dao is entirely incomparable to the Power of Dao. First, there is a leap in strength, and moreover, the Power of the Sacred Dao reaches the level of a Grandmaster, capable of purifying the Power of Dao.

Wang Xiaoqiang only saw his "Path of Courage" continuously growing, with strength doubling, not realizing that his Path of Courage was already advancing towards the "Sacred Dao."

If the Old Master knew about his situation, he would be astonished as if seeing a Heavenly Being.

While the Path of Courage continued to grow, Wang Xiaoqiang's Qi Cultivation and Body Refining Cultivation were also rapidly progressing.

In half a month, he advanced two levels, reaching the Ninth Soldier Realm of the Immortal Sage and the Vajra Body Ninth Layer.

The Ninth Soldier Realm of the Immortal Sage is a half-step to becoming an Immortal King.

There is still half a step to the Immortal King Stage,

but this half-step is more arduous and difficult than any previous level; Wang Xiaoqiang was stuck at this bottleneck, which also has something to do with his Body Refining Cultivation,

After breaking through the Vajra Body Ninth Layer, Wang Xiaoqiang's Body Refining Cultivation also encountered a barrier, unable to advance, always unable to touch the threshold of the "Undying Golden Body," which also shows the mystery and strength of the Undying Golden Body.

...

Because of the need to suppress the Rebel Army, Wang Xiaoqiang couldn't afford any distractions. For the safety of his two women and children, Wang Xiaoqiang escorted Yans Ruxue, Yans Ruyu, their two sons, and the True Person of Taiyi to the Immortal River.

Ultimately, they were arranged to stay in the Immortal River Maze.

The Immortal River Maze and the New Moon Illusion are equally safe, allowing Wang Xiaoqiang to be free from concerns.

From then on, Wang Xiaoqiang could focus entirely on suppressing the rebellion.

While Wang Xiaoqiang was working hard for the country, Huang Ce was also sincerely dedicated. Even amid rebellion, national turmoil, and financial weakness, the construction of the Imperial Son-in-Law's Mansion continued.

The Imperial Son-in-Law's Mansion was right across from Dragon City Plaza, with an excellent location and a vast area. The architectural design is impressive, combining grandeur with intricacy.

Except for not being comparable to the Imperial Palace, the Imperial Son-in-Law's Mansion is undoubtedly the most luxurious and extravagant residence in Dragon City.

...

The ten Myriad Circle Spirit Formations were finally completed after the efforts of Cheng Jin and others.

Now, under Wang Xiaoqiang's command, there were eleven Myriad Circle Spirit Formations and seven Thousand-Position Spirit Formations.

Wang Xiaoqiang thought, the Myriad Circle Spirit Formation is too large to be flexible in battle. If there were a Thousand-Position Spirit Formation as a cover, it could stand invincible.

Currently, there are eleven Myriad Circle Spirit Formations but only seven Thousand-Position Spirit Formations. If a Thousand-Position Spirit Formation were paired with each Myriad Circle Spirit Formation, four more Thousand-Position Spirit Formations would be needed.

With this in mind, Wang Xiaoqiang transferred personnel from three sects under his command: the Five Spirit Sect, North Pole Gate, Sect of Strange Formations, and Gong Ziyu's Moon Crescent Palace, gathering all the elite disciples from the four sects to assemble two thousand people,

For the remaining two thousand people, Wang Xiaoqiang enlisted some from the Dragon City Guard. After completing the numbers, four Thousand-Position Spirit Formations were set up.

When the eleven Myriad Circle Spirit Formations and eleven Thousand-Position Spirit Formations were formed, Wang Xiaoqiang began the grand rebellion suppression movement.

On this day.

In the Imperial Palace.

Yellow Dragon Hall.

Civil and military officials gathered, standing on both sides, with Wang Xiaoqiang at the forefront of the martial officials, where Prince Ann once stood.

In the Immortal Realm, martial strength is revered, and the Yellow Dragon Empire was founded and governed by martial prowess, with martial officials holding significant importance. Civil officials only held negligible status compared to martial officials, who were worlds apart.

Wang Xiaoqiang stood at the forefront of the martial officials, indicating that he now held the highest rank among the officials.

In the Yellow Dragon Empire, he was under one person and above ten thousand others.

Huang Ce sat on the dragon throne, steadily detailing the current situation and the dynamics in the Immortal Realm, mentioning the intensifying conflicts among major nations and the critical tension leading to wars between several countries.

The neighboring Yue Kingdom was eyeing the Yellow Dragon Empire with ambitions to annex it,

To defend the outside, the inside must first be secured. The urgent priority is to suppress the rebellion before Yue Kingdom launches an invasion.

After explaining all this, Huang Ce suddenly stood and declared passionately, "To show my determination to suppress the rebellion, I will personally lead the expedition..."

Before Huang Ce could finish, the officials started discussing. The consensus was that all the Feudal Kings to the south of Yue Land had rebelled, leaving only the territory north of Yue Land.

Furthermore, the Feudal Kings to the north of Yue Land were also restless, with many aspiring to usurp the throne. Should Huang Ce not stay in the Capital City and personally lead the expedition, the Feudal Kings in the north would seize the opportunity to rebel and occupy the Dragon City of the Capital.

Once Dragon City falls, the consequences would be unimaginable.

By then, the nation would be doomed.

If the Yue Kingdom then takes advantage of the situation, the result would be even worse.

The officials' reasoning was not unfounded.

Huang Ce also felt it inappropriate to personally lead the expedition, but he was concerned about Wang Xiaoqiang's inadequate cultivation to contend against Ann Guochu. At this moment, he looked towards Wang Xiaoqiang, seeking his opinion.

Wang Xiaoqiang waited until the officials quieted down, then said, "I share the same view as everyone else, His Majesty must not personally lead the expedition."

Huang Ce said, "Little Qiang, your cultivation is not as advanced as Ann Guochu's. Even if you break the 'Wall Formation,' you might not win the battle."

In the Immortal Realm, strength is respected, even in warfare. In the face of immense strength, numbers are merely figures. In battle, the cultivation of the commander is paramount.

Wang Xiaoqiang said, "Our army has eleven Myriad Circle Spirit Formations, capable of deploying eleven warriors at the Immortal Emperor Stage. Eleven Immortal Emperors, can they not defeat one Immortal King?"

The officials had no reply to Wang Xiaoqiang's argument.

"Brilliant, General Wang!" they said in unison.

"Aggressive, General Wang!"

"Victory is assured with General Wang leading us!"

With Wang Xiaoqiang's words, Huang Ce felt relieved. "With General Wang's words, I can rest easy. Well then, tomorrow at Si Time, I will personally visit Liu Jingtun for the expedition."

After discussing these matters, Huang Ce suddenly stood up, and pulled Wang Xiaoqiang away to dine in the Jade Banquet Hall where Lotus Princess and Princess Hua Shao were already waiting to host.

In the joyous atmosphere at Jade Banquet Hall, Lotus Princess and Princess Hua Shao frequently offered Wang Xiaoqiang drinks, wishing him victory and success.

The atmosphere was very harmonious.

With no more worries on his mind, Wang Xiaoqiang could focus entirely on crushing the rebellion.

However, a storm was quietly brewing in the corners of the Capital City.

Behind this storm was none other than Prince Ann, who had been eyeing the imperial throne for a long time.

With a cunning smile on his face, he quietly began to deploy his forces, slowly and methodically, seeking the right opportunity to strike.

His goal was clear: overthrow Emperor Huang and seize the imperial power of the Yellow Dragon Empire for himself.

And thus, under the clouded skies of the Capital City, the wheels of destiny continued to turn, pulling everyone inexorably towards an uncertain future.
