"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully summoning the peerless general from history – the 'One-Man Army' Deng Qiang!"
Deng Qiang?
Yang Hao looked at the figure, not expecting that it would be this very person who summoned the peculiar duo.
Deng Qiang was a renowned figure during the Sixteen Kingdoms period. His life was filled with dazzling achievements; he fought on countless battlefields and was undefeated, earning him the title of "First General of Former Qin."
From executing Yao Xiang and Gao Li, to decisively defeating Liu Kuren, Tuoba Shi Yijian, Huan Wen, Huan Shiqian, and Murong Zang, capturing Murong Changqing alive, and conquering Former Yan and Dai Kingdom; he quelled the rebellion of the Five Chieftains, the Xiongnu Tuge tribe, and the Shu uprising. He reformed the administration, suppressed powerful clans, and established a formidable reputation that cowed the era!
"Display detailed information for the 'One-Man Army' Deng Qiang!"
"Name: Deng Qiang"
"Dynasty: Sixteen Kingdoms"
"Cultivation: Fourth Layer of Minor Heavenly Venerate!"
"Cultivation Technique: Demonic Axe and Halberd Art!"
"Attached Troops: Top-tier troops – 100,000 Elite Soldiers!"
Experience: Deng Qiang was a descendant of the renowned Eastern Han official Deng Yu.
The hero Deng Qiang was valiant and skilled in warfare and military strategy, possessing both literary and martial prowess. He had the talents of Lian Po and Li Mu, and was known as the "One-Man Army."
In the second year of Shouguang, Deng Qiang was appointed by the court as the General of Establishing Authority. In this year, he defeated the Xianbei Murong tribe and captured Murong Changqing.
However, it was also in this year that he offended Emperor Fu Sheng and was demoted to the Prefect of Xianyang.

In the same year, he collaborated with Wang Meng to rectify public order and suppress powerful clans, achieving remarkable success.
Subsequently, he led a large army to suppress the rebellion of the Xiongnu chieftain Zhang Wang, repelled the Eastern Jin's northern expedition, assisted Murong Chui and others in defeating Huan Wen's army, and also quelled the rebellions of Liu Weichen, Fu Liu, and the region of Yi.

"Reporting to the Divine Emperor, Yun Changzai has completed the awakening of her True Phoenix bloodline and has officially entered the realm of top-tier Minor Heavenly Venerate!"
Several hours later, as evening approached, Yang Hao was in the imperial bedchamber reviewing the situation of the Three Thousand Dao Provinces. Suddenly, Wei Zhongxian entered the hall and reported cautiously.
"Oh?"
Yang Hao raised his eyebrows in surprise. He had expected that Yun Shan's awakening of her True Phoenix bloodline would take a considerable amount of time. He never imagined that it would only take a little over ten days to complete the bloodline awakening and enter the Minor Heavenly Venerate realm.
With her realm elevated and her bloodline awakened, it was time to promote Yun Shan's consort rank.
Raising Yun Shan's status and position was even more crucial for conquering the Yun Clan Immortal Dynasty and expanding the Han Dynasty's territory in the Northern You region.
"By imperial decree, confer upon Yun Changzai the title of Imperial Concubine Yun!"
"Summon the ministers of the Military Affairs Department for deliberation!"
Half an hour later.
The Military Affairs Department.
"Divine Emperor, according to the information brought by Imperial Concubine Yun, in the current Three Thousand Dao Provinces, only Northern You respects humans as their rulers!"
"Northern You is the birthplace of the Immortal Lord, the main base of human power. After an era of development, the humans of Northern You have split into the Great Yin Immortal Dynasty, the Yun Clan Immortal Dynasty, and the Human Realm!"
"The Great Yin Immortal Dynasty, the Yun Clan Immortal Dynasty, and the Hengtian Immortal Dynasty, Black Water Immortal Dynasty, and other forces are of equal standing. The Human Realm has always been reclusive, its strength having remained hidden for millions of years. It is not impossible for a few supreme Xuan Venerate realm beings to emerge from there!"
Li Si said solemnly.
"Your Majesty's Prime Minister is correct. The Human Realm is somewhat stronger than forces like Hengtian, but it is still a long way from the Eight Great Families of the Central Plains."
"The current situation in the Western Regions is proceeding in an orderly fashion according to our previously devised strategy. It will take at most half a month, or a month at the longest, for the Western Regions to be under the control of our Great Han Divine Dynasty."
"By annexing the essence of the Hengtian, Qingxuan, and Zhulu Three Immortal Dynasties, our Great Han will surely surpass the forces of the Eastern You, the Black Water Immortal Dynasty, and the Great Yin Immortal Dynasty."
"With the foundation of our nation stable, we can contend for the world!"
Zhangsun Wuji said with a smile.
"I second the motion!"
Fang Xuanling stepped forward, stroking his beard: "The situation in the Western Regions is already in our grasp. Next, we can leverage the influence of Imperial Concubine Yun to enter the Yun Clan Immortal Dynasty."
"Imperial Concubine Yun's completion of her bloodline awakening and entry into the Minor Heavenly Venerate realm is precisely what the Yun Clan Imperial Lineage has been eagerly anticipating. Based on this True Phoenix bloodline alone, Imperial Concubine Yun is destined to become the Immortal Emperor universally revered by the Yun Clan Imperial Lineage!"
"In this way, although the Yun Clan Immortal Dynasty will retain its external appearance, its territory will already be part of our Great Han's domain."
"Divine Emperor, honored ministers, please observe!"
Fang Xuanling walked to the map of the Three Thousand Dao Provinces and pointed: "Imperial Concubine Yun will lead the Yun Clan Immortal Dynasty in Northern You, while our Great Han occupies the Western Regions. Once the city of Undying is concluded and the world descends into chaos, two armies will advance. To the south, we can suppress the Southern Marsh Black Water Immortal Dynasty and the Fallen Immortal Dynasty. To the east, we can enter the Eastern You region and sweep away the Four Great Powers: Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise."
"In this manner, the Northern You Great Yin Immortal Dynasty and the Human Realm will be subdued without a fight!"
Du Ruhui exclaimed excitedly: "With our Great Han possessing the Western Regions, Northern You, Southern Marsh, and Eastern You, our national strength at that time will be sufficient to sweep across the Eight Great Families of the Central Plains and, in a single battle, unify the Three Thousand Dao Provinces, becoming the overlord of this plane!"
"Ascending to the Immortal Realm will be just around the corner!"
"Ding! Reminder to the host, the main quest has been activated!"
"Ding! Main Quest One: Sweep across the Hengtian, Qingxuan, and Zhulu Three Immortal Dynasties, and unify the Western Regions. Reward the host with one chance to summon a hero, unlock the sixth level of the Nine Tripods of Fortune, and the host can use Fortune and Merit points to step into the Supreme Realm!"
"Ding! Main Quest Two: March north to Northern You, south to Southern Marsh, east into Eastern You. Reward the host with two chances to summon heroes, unlock the eighth level of the Nine Tripods of Fortune, and the host can use Fortune and Merit points to step into the Great Heavenly Venerate Realm!"
At this moment, deep within Yang Hao's soul sea, the Samsara Xuanhuang Pagoda radiated boundless light. He hadn't expected that the deliberation at the Military Affairs Department today would unlock two main quests. Sudan Novel Network.
The city of Undying was about to usher in an era of great chaos in the Three Thousand Dao Provinces, and he, leading the many heroes of the Great Han, would gradually conquer the Three Thousand Dao Provinces.
"Issue an imperial decree, ordering the heroes Deng Qiang and Zhang Hao to assist Imperial Concubine Yun in controlling the authority of the Yun Clan Immortal Dynasty!"
"Confer upon Zhebie the title of Commander of the Kui Niu Legion and open the campaign against the Hengtian Immortal Dynasty!"
...
"Ancestor!"
"The Great Elder of the Branch Clan requests an audience!"
The ancestral land of the Hong Clan.
"Hmm!"
A sound like a divine decree.
"Hong Yun, Great Elder of the Branch Clan, pays his respects!"
Before long, Hong Yun, the Great Elder of the Hong Clan's branch, knelt on both knees. Then, he raised his head and looked around, seeing only scattered stars and flowing divine light.
"What is it?"
A voice like heavenly thunder boomed in his head.
"The Hengtian Immortal Dynasty in the Western Regions disobeys the decrees of our Hong Clan, frequently mobilizing troops, which has led to a joint offensive by numerous powers in the Western Regions, resulting in heavy losses and lost territories. This matter is of great importance to our Hong Clan's plans in the Western Regions. Hong Yun dares not make a decision and requests the ancestor's decree!"
