This day.

Wang Xiaoqiang called his generals together and spread out a strategic map, which depicted the territory of the Immortal Realm.

The Immortal Realm was vast. Besides some Demon Race, Demon Sect, Ghost Sect, and other groups, there were a total of one hundred recognized empires within the Immortal Realm.

Wang Xiaoqiang was still lacking in terms of strategy and tactics, so he wanted to hear his generals' opinions. He first put forth his own thoughts, saying:

"Everyone, currently, the nations of the Immortal Realm have plunged into a state of chaotic warfare, which is getting out of control. We need to take action or we'll end up passively enduring attacks. Now, we have the Yellow Dragon Empire, Yue Kingdom, and Yan Kingdom under our command, meaning we possess three empires. Moreover, with our powerful Ring Spirit Formation, conquering another empire is not difficult...

However, with a hundred empires in the Immortal Realm, if our strategy isn't appropriate and allows some nations to form alliances, it would result in an extremely powerful alliance empire, which we would be powerless to oppose. Thus, I've gathered you here today to devise a long-term and stable strategic plan, and to discuss our next target..."

"Your Majesty, I think we should advance step by step. Now that the Yue and Yan kingdoms have been captured by our army, the next target is the Qii Kingdom..." A general pointed at the Qii Kingdom, which bordered the Yan Kingdom on the map, saying, "After taking Qii Kingdom, we can then attack Zhao Country..."

"Your Majesty, as I see it, while advancing step by step is prudent, it's unnecessary. As Your Majesty said, we currently have the powerful forces of three empires and the unparalleled Ring Spirit Formation. There's no need to overextend our forces like this. I believe we should adopt a 'strike the mountain to shake the tiger' tactic, first focusing our troops to conquer a powerful nation, causing weaker neighboring countries to fear us and naturally submit..."

Wang Xiaoqiang nodded, "Hmm, makes sense. So which country do you think we should attack next?"

"Your Majesty, please look." The general pointed to the map toward the northwest of the Yellow Dragon Empire, at the Heavenly Wolf Empire.

...

Heavenly Wolf Empire.

Amidst a desolate range of mountains and peaks bordering the Yellow Dragon Empire, in a giant valley resembling a basin, stood a massive Blood Pool hundreds of meters in diameter, exuding a suffocating bloody atmosphere.

By the Blood Pool stood two figures.

One was unmistakably the Emperor of the Heavenly Wolf Empire, Dominating Moon Heavenly Wolf, surrounded by a pure and intense Dragon Qi.

Beside Dominating Moon Heavenly Wolf stood a handsome man in white, enveloped in thick Demon Qi.

He was clearly a Demon Cultivator.

The Demon Cultivator held a Jade Neck Vase in his right hand, pouring its liquid into the Blood Pool unceasingly.

The moment the liquid entered the Blood Pool, it reacted with the blood inside as if a chemical reaction occurred. Large blood bubbles emerged, and the pool began boiling like it was on fire.

From the depths of the Blood Pool came terrifying wolf howls, vicious and fierce, akin to the Heavenly Wolf Howling at the Moon.

"How much longer?" Dominating Moon Heavenly Wolf asked, gazing down at the Blood Pool, his tone calm but tinged with a hint of impatience.

"Just three more days." The Demon Cultivator, known as "Young Master Yu," said confidently, "In three days, these Heavenly Wolves will mutate into powerful beings. Their strength will triple at least!"

"Good." Dominating Moon Heavenly Wolf lifted his gaze, looking into the distance, his eyes unashamedly revealing his soaring ambitions. "In three days, it marks the beginning of me, Dominating Moon Heavenly Wolf, becoming a prodigy of the Immortal Realm. Young Master Yu, which country do you think should be our first target?"

Young Master Yu, almost without hesitation, pointed in the direction of the Yellow Dragon Empire, "Your Majesty's first target should naturally be the Yellow Dragon Empire!"

"Why the Yellow Dragon Empire?" A trace of doubt crossed Dominating Moon Heavenly Wolf's face.

"Because the Yellow Dragon Empire is the closest to the Heavenly Wolf Empire and the strongest nation nearby," Young Master Yu explained, "For Your Majesty to travel far and attack distant countries is a grave strategic error, and attacking weaker nations would be redundant. Therefore, Your Majesty's target can only be the Yellow Dragon Empire. Once we annex the Yellow Dragon Empire, the neighboring countries will submit one by one. This is called 'striking the mountain to shake the tiger!'"

"But that Wang Xiaoqiang is a bit tricky!" Dominating Moon Heavenly Wolf said hesitantly.

"Among the leaders of strong countries in the Immortal Realm, who isn't powerful and tricky? If Your Majesty wants to pacify the Immortal Realm and become a prodigy, you must face them..." Young Master Yu said.

"As the saying goes, 'the victor becomes king, and the loser becomes a bandit.' If you don't attack the Yellow Dragon Empire, Wang Xiaoqiang will attack the Heavenly Wolf Empire... Rather than passively defending, it's better to act proactively. With powerful Mutant Heavenly Wolves, what is there to fear? Besides, Wang Xiaoqiang is not in the Yellow Dragon Empire now, and the Yellow Dragon Empire is at a vulnerable moment... If we don't act now, when will we?..."

"Hmm, makes sense! Alright, as you say, in three days, we attack the Yellow Dragon Empire!" Dominating Moon Heavenly Wolf declared with great bravado.

Young Master Yu, seeing Dominating Moon Heavenly Wolf agree to attack the Yellow Dragon Empire, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. A ghostly gleam flashed in his eyes, as he thought to himself, "Uncle Zijing, nephew's plan for revenge has completed its first step. Wang Xiaoqiang's demise is near. Uncle Zijing, rest in peace. I will bring Wang Xiaoqiang's head to honor you."

Dominating Moon Heavenly Wolf did not know what Young Master Yu was thinking, nor did he know that Young Master Yu was the nephew of the Purple-Eyed Demon Emperor, who died at the hands of Wang Xiaoqiang. He also didn't realize that Young Master Yu was helping cultivate the Mutant Heavenly Wolves and inciting him to attack the Yellow Dragon Empire was just a ploy to use his forces for revenge against Purple-Eyed Demon Emperor's killer.

In order to pacify the Immortal Realm and become its prodigy, Dominating Moon Heavenly Wolf didn't hesitate to collude with the Demon Race, and even promised to marry his daughter, Dominating Moon Tingxue, to this demon cultivator Young Master Yu after succeeding.

Young Master Yu was initially uninterested in Dominating Moon Tingxue, but to conceal his grand plan for revenge, he feigned enthusiasm, making Dominating Moon Heavenly Wolf believe he was helping him for the sake of beauty. It wasn't until he met Dominating Moon Tingxue that he genuinely became interested in the Heavenly Wolf Empire's Princess Tingxue, deeply attracted by her unparalleled charm.

"Your Majesty, it seems Princess Tingxue doesn't like me. Does she have someone she loves?" Young Master Yu asked.

"Absolutely not, it's her concern about your demonic cultivator identity," Dominating Moon Heavenly Wolf replied. "But rest assured, once I pacify the world, I will set the name of demonic cultivators straight, and then this issue will be resolved easily, haha..."

...

Wang Xiaoqiang's gaze fixed intently on the Heavenly Wolf Empire on the map, observing the totem of the Heavenly Wolf Empire—the Heavenly Wolf. His eyes narrowed as he spoke, "It's said that the sovereign of the Heavenly Wolf Empire, Dominating Moon Heavenly Wolf, raises a group of incredibly powerful Heavenly Wolf Beasts. I'm curious about how formidable these Heavenly Wolf Beasts are?"

"Your Majesty, however formidable the Heavenly Wolves are, they are mere cannon fodder under our Ring Spirit Formation!" scoffed the general advocating for an attack on the Heavenly Wolf Empire.

"Dominating Moon Heavenly Wolf is an impatient man, and the Heavenly Wolf Empire is so strong. Given the current situation in the Immortal Realm, he should have acted by now, but he's been oddly quiet. Could he be plotting something significant..."

Wang Xiaoqiang pondered aloud, "Wolves are naturally restless, but a restless wolf isn't frightening; a calm wolf is. We should wait and see what actions the Heavenly Wolf Empire takes..."
