The saying goes: 'Fortune often comes after surviving great calamities.'

Now, the lightning within the Holy Path of Courage, after absorbing the lightning from Lii Lei, has more than doubled in strength compared to before. It is extraordinarily thick and filled with divine power, surely its might has increased severalfold.

The three Thunder Elephants within him, after absorbing the lightning from Lii Lei, now have even more electric arcs on their bodies, crackling and bursting with light, displaying immense power and divine majesty. It's certain their strength will also double.

His Thunderclap Annihilation Palm, having undergone tempering through thunder and lightning, has further increased in power, and Wang Xiaoqiang is eagerly anticipating its effects. At present, he activates the Thunderclap Palm Technique and struck out with both palms; two lightning bolts, as thick as a child's arm and ten meters long, explode forth with a resounding roar, bursting out with a crash.

The two bolts of lightning struck the exposed walls of the hall, causing the entire great hall to collapse with a roar.

"Ten meters of lightning, its power has more than tripled compared to before!" Wang Xiaoqiang murmured to himself, inwardly filled with joy.

Lightning ten meters long is not only invincible in close combat but equally advantageous in ranged warfare.

The collapse of the great hall caused many in the residence to take notice. Wang Xiaoqiang, stark naked, couldn't remain there long and had to slip away quickly. To avoid being seen, he dashed into a large hall nearby, which happened to be Jin Qiaoqiao's chamber.

So Wang Xiaoqiang went in, but his sudden naked entry startled Jin Qiaoqiao, who thought it was some rogue or bandit.

She held the quilt tightly, her beautiful eyes wide open, and upon recognizing Wang Xiaoqiang, she quietly let out a sigh of relief.

Her cheeks rapidly turned crimson, and she quickly turned around, softly exclaiming, "Ah, Little Qiang, why aren't you wearing clothes?"

"Qiaoqiaoo, I encountered a Heavenly Tribulation, and my clothes were reduced to ashes by the lightning. Now it's crowded outside, and I need to hide here for a while..." Wang Xiaoqiang said as he headed toward the bed.

Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang approach, Jin Qiaoqiao's heart pounded with embarrassment, and she shyly said in a voice like a buzzing mosquito, "Little Qiang, don't come closer..."

Jin Qiaoqiao, being a traditional and pure girl, although she liked Wang Xiaoqiang, instinctively felt some resistance seeing him approach her so exposed.

"Don't worry, I won't touch you." Wang Xiaoqiang said, pulling up a quilt to wrap around his body, sitting on the edge of the bed.

"You come up and sleep here; I'll sleep outside." Jin Qiaoqiao said shyly, opening the quilt to put on clothes.

"Are you still watching?" Jin Qiaoqiao saw Wang Xiaoqiang staring at her, whined a bit, then suddenly turned her back to him, revealing a beautiful back, where a patterned beast tattoo was clearly visible, giving an eerie yet captivating beauty in the night.

Just as Wang Xiaoqiang was staring at Jin Qiaoqiao's back, the beast tattoo seemed to come alive, its pattern glaring, issuing a warning growl at Wang Xiaoqiang.

Seeing this, Wang Xiaoqiang chuckled inwardly, thinking how difficult it would be for Jin Qiaoqiao to lose her virginity with this patterned beast guarding her. With a flash of inspiration, Wang Xiaoqiang released his own patterned beast.

After Wang Xiaoqiang's patterned beast emerged, it followed Wang Xiaoqiang's thoughts and called out to Jin Qiaoqiao's patterned beast.

Jin Qiaoqiao's patterned beast let out a soft response and then flew off her back, transforming into vitality, and leaping before Wang Xiaoqiang's beast. The two beasts sniffed each other's faces, affectionately intertwining their necks, chirping happily.

Then Wang Xiaoqiang's patterned beast led Jin Qiaoqiao's patterned beast out of the chamber.

Jin Qiaoqiao dressed in a gown, turned around and whined, "Why did you lead my patterned beast away?"

Wang Xiaoqiang laughed, "Qiaoqiaoo, let's talk."

"What are we talking about in the middle of the night?"

"What else to talk about at night, of course, love talk."

"Go away, who is going to talk love with you..." Jin Qiaoqiao laughed and teased, sweeping her gaze over Wang Xiaoqiang's face, she asked, "Did you really encounter a Heavenly Tribulation?"

"Of course."

"Are you okay?"

"I'm fine; if there was a problem, I wouldn't be here talking to you."

"Oh, I forgot, you are the Undying Golden Body," Jin Qiaoqiao said, "Undying Golden Body, the physical body doesn't perish!"

"Don't exaggerate. I almost lost my life just now." Wang Xiaoqiang said, "If it had been someone else, most likely they'd be a pile of ashes right now!"

"I've also experienced a Heavenly Tribulation, but that time, Dad helped me through it. That tribulation caused his cultivation base to drop by seven levels; otherwise, perhaps he'd be at the Immortal King Stage now." Jin Qiaoqiao said with a face full of melancholy and regret.

Upon hearing that, Wang Xiaoqiang couldn't help but feel enlightened and said, "No wonder Elder Jin's cultivation has not progressed; it's because of this reason."

"Yes, sigh, I wonder if I can withstand the next Heavenly Tribulation?" Jin Qiaoqiao said with a face full of sadness.

"I'll be there; next time you face a Heavenly Tribulation, I'll help you through it." Wang Xiaoqiang raised his fist.

Feeling touched, Jin Qiaoqiao said, "Then I'll stick with you from now on."

"Of course."

"But our status is ultimately different." Jin Qiaoqiao's expression turned gloomy again. She said, "You are a legitimate cultivator, I am a loose cultivator. If not for the difference in status, I would have gone with you at the Mystic Yin Mountains. Dad wouldn't have stopped me."

"Don't worry, I'm working hard on this matter; I believe it won't be long before there's no distinction between legitimate cultivators and loose cultivators," Wang Xiaoqiang comforted.

"Hmm," Jin Qiaoqiao had heard about this from her father and replied with a sweet smile, "Then will you be by my side until the grand unification is accomplished?"

"Of course." Wang Xiaoqiang nodded.

Little did he expect that after promising Jin Qiaoqiao the night before, Wang Xiaoqiang broke the promise early the next morning. He had to return to the Capital quickly because reliable news came that His Majesty had passed away; Huang Ce had encountered a Heavenly Tribulation and perished.

This is definitely explosive news. The news spread and caused a national uproar, and naturally, the rogue cultivator world had heard of it. If the Fengyun Family does not fall, and Fengyun Tian does not die, he might have already led the rogue cultivator heroes to the Dragon City of Capital, intending to seize the throne.

Upon receiving the news, Wang Xiaoqiang first thought of Princess Hua Shao and Lotus Princess because Huang Ce's death will certainly bring chaos to the Imperial Dynasty. The Dragon Child's fight for the throne would surely implicate many, resulting in many deaths.

With Huang Ce dead, Lotus Princess and Princess Hua Shao, without protection, would naturally be swept into this turmoil, their lives in jeopardy.

Wang Xiaoqiang must hurry back to rescue them; moreover, it's a great opportunity to seize the throne. If Wang Xiaoqiang takes the throne, then not only can he command the world, but he can also accomplish the grand unification of legitimate and rogue cultivators.

Given the contact over this period, he believes there's no major issue on the rogue cultivator side. The Top Ten Rogue Cultivator Heroes greatly admire him. If he can secure the throne, command the world, the heroic tyrants in rogue cultivation would naturally be willing to follow. Even if some do not wish to submit, they will have no choice but to go with the flow under the irresistible trend.

"Little Qiang, quickly return to the capital. It's a great opportunity. Once you seize the throne, you are not far from achieving the grand unification." Jin Futu said with a face full of anticipation.

"Hmm, take good care of Qiaoqiaoo." Wang Xiaoqiang said.

"Don't worry, with my reputation in the Rogue Cultivator World now, naturally, no one dares to harm Qiaoqiaoo." Jin Futu said.

"Good, let's say goodbye for now. Also, persuade the rogue cultivator heroes; if I seize the throne, I hope they will submit to me to complete the grand unification."

"Rest assured, I'll definitely accomplish this." Jin Futu said confidently. (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to cast your votes and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com for reading.)
