This was definitely not an illusion. With Dao Master Jiutian's ability, he could be sure of this. Just now, someone must have used a special method to spy on the Nine Heavens World. Even they didn't realize that the spy had already completed the mission. From this, it could be seen that it was not simple. The one who did it was definitely a top existence in the Eternal World. "Who is it?"
"Tai Shang, Shang Qing or Yu Qing?"
"The West is welcoming us, or is it a top power from other heavens?"
A series of thoughts flashed through Dao Master Cang Tian's mind. However, his expression did not look good. No matter what the reason was, they were being spied on. It was clear that they did not care about their pride at all. It was too presumptuous and too condescending.
However, no matter how angry he was, he could not show it now.
He knew very well that in the Eternal World, they, Dao Masters of the Ninth Heaven, had already been listed as suspects. At this time, any movement could be regarded as an Eternal Night Demon. There were more experts in the Eternal World than they had imagined. Although they were Dao Masters of the Ninth Heaven and had a distinguished status, it was impossible for them to resist the pressure from experts of the same level. No matter what, they had to bear the humiliation.
"Among us, who is the demon? I'm sure I'm not, but I can't eliminate the suspicion of the others."
Dao Master Cangtian's expression was solemn as he muttered to himself.
He naturally knew whether it was the Eternal Night Demon or not. However, he could not confirm who the demon was. The others had hidden it too well. Such a nail buried among them could not be tolerated no matter what. It had to be removed.
Otherwise, the consequences would be too serious.
"I'd like to see who is the demon. Let's see if the previous alerting of the enemy will work."
Dao Master Cangtian closed his eyes and did not speak. He waited quietly.
.....
Unknowingly, it was already the 14th of November in the 51st year of the Eternal Calendar.
The day of the Imperial Examination was on the Fifteenth of November. In other words, it was tomorrow.
Before the Imperial Examination, a large number of candidates and students could be seen gathering from the various Immortal Cities.
The various academies, especially the students of the immortal academy, were all rubbing their palms together, preparing to display everything they had learned in their lives. The various techniques of the Immortal Learning Academy could be used in daily life, even in managing the people's livelihood. Among them, the Confucians, Legalists, Daoists, and other schools of thought had unique insights on managing the people's livelihood. Since they were able to participate in the Imperial Examinations, it meant that they had a certain level of confidence. He could be listed on the list.
In the central square of the Xuanhuang Immortal City, the light of the teleportation array never stopped shining.
An endless stream of students and examinees stepped out of the teleportation array. After entering Xuanhuang Castle, they looked around curiously.
"This is our Da Yi's Holy City. Although I've been here once before, I went to the Scripture Pavilion to choose a cultivation technique. I didn't even get a chance to look at it properly before returning to my residence. This time, I finally have a chance to take a good look at our Da Yi's Holy City."
"It's really huge. Only by standing here do I realize how small I am. This is the true core of the entire Da Yi Holy Court. This time, I must make a name for myself in the Imperial Examination. Only by stepping into the official circles of Da Yi will I be able to truly step onto the big stage and have a chance to display my ambitions. I've studied so hard for decades, only for today. "
.....
Although the students were shocked by the vastness and grandeur of the Xuanhuang Holy City, they secretly made up their minds to stand out in the Imperial Examination. They definitely couldn't return empty-handed.
"All candidates, as long as their identities are verified, can enter the Tribute Courtyard. Accommodation and food are all free. Everything will be arranged by the Sacred Court. All candidates just need to focus on preparing for the exam. Now, you can follow the cloud ladder to the Cloud World where the Tribute Courtyard is located. You can visit the Tribute Courtyard and prepare for the exam. "
In the city, a constable said to the surrounding students who came to take the exam.
Everyone in the Xuanhuang Holy City knew about this long ago. There was also an announcement on the Star Web. As long as one paid attention, they would know that the process of the Imperial Examination had long been heard of.
Although they were very interested in the Xuanhuang Holy City, everything was focused on the Imperial Examination. No one was willing to be distracted and affect their own Imperial Examination results. That would be too terrible.
"Under the Imperial Examination, there are as many students as there are carps. Such a scene is really the golden age of humanity. I wonder how many peerless geniuses will appear in the Imperial Examination. How enviable. In the future, when I return to the Great Qin, Fu Su will definitely advise my father to open the Imperial Examination to recruit talents from all over the world. Don't let the pearls in the ocean slip away. "
Nearby, in a restaurant, a few young men could be seen sitting together, drinking while watching the endless stream of students from all over the world enter the Holy City. The one who sighed was the Crown Prince of the Great Qin, Fu Su.
Beside him were none other than Yi Ziyang and Yi Xianhuang.
Fu Su had been cultivating in the Immortal Academy, but when he heard that Da Yi was holding the Imperial Examination, he came out to take a look. Yi Xianhuang and Yi Ziyang also accompanied him. During this period of time, they had become familiar with each other.
"The Imperial Examination indeed has the benefit of recruiting talents from all over the world. However, the truly top-notch talents are in the minority. This time, I wonder how many talents at the City Lord level will be selected. These are the cornerstones. In this world, talents are still the most important."
Yi Ziyang said with a smile.
Da Yi needed more talents at the City Lord level. To be able to control a city, that was the most important thing to Da Yi. This time, Da Yi had implemented a completely new method of nurturing talents. On the Star Web, all the commoners in the world had the qualifications to try to manage their own cities in the virtual world. Now was the time for the results of the test.
Whether or not he would be able to gain anything depended on this.
Once the results were shocking, this method would be greatly promoted.
"I heard that Brother Ziyang is also participating in the Imperial Examination this time. Is that true?"
Fu Su asked curiously.
He had heard a rumor in the Immortal Academy that the Da Yi royal family would also be participating in the Imperial Examination this time.
"That's right. Not only will I be participating, but my five sisters and Seventh Brother will also be participating. This is an order personally passed down by Father. It can be considered a test for us. However, our results will not be included in the overall ranking of the Imperial Examination this time. It will be calculated separately. "
Yi Ziyang nodded and said in a low voice.
This news had only come recently and was very sudden. However, Yi Ziyang and the rest were very interested in this. They were not ignorant and incompetent hedonistic sons, but elites who had truly experienced the trials of the battlefield. This time, they could take advantage of the Imperial Examination to see what position they could occupy among the scholars in the world. They wanted to see if they had the ability to govern the world.
If they did not, then naturally, they would not say anything and just cultivate in peace in the future. They would choose to do what they were interested in.
Otherwise, they could just sit around and wait for death.
This was a platform to test their abilities.
"In Da Yi, women can also be officials and participate in the Imperial Examination?"
Fu Su saw that many women were also walking among the scholars.
"That's only natural. Women can even enter the army, and it's not the first time that they are in charge of an army. As long as a woman has enough talent and is not inferior to a man, our Da Yi will naturally give her a corresponding position, and even a stage to display her talents. There are many women in Da Yi who are in charge of a city. Sometimes, women can even do a better job than many men in governing a city because of their meticulousness. "
Yi Xianhuang said calmly.
This was not the first time a woman had become an official.
"According to reliable sources, many talented women have come to participate in the Imperial Examination this time, such as Xie Daoyun, Ban Zhao, Little Sister Su, Feng Suzhen, Su Xiaoxiao, and Liu Rushi. They have all signed up for the Imperial Examination. It is said that they are no less talented than some of the other scholars. They are very insightful. It is not impossible for them to stand out in this Imperial Examination. If there is a female scholar this time, then many of the men in Da Yi will lose their voices and lose their luster. Then there will be a good show to watch. "
Yi Ziyang said with a smile.
Naturally, he was very familiar with these matters. Many pieces of information could be hidden from others, but not from them. If he wanted to know something, it would be a piece of cake. It couldn't be any easier. There were many talents in this batch of female candidates. If all the men in the world did not perform well, they might really embarrass themselves.
He was very interested in this point.
"Oh, right, Fu Su, do you want to participate in the Imperial Examination as well and experience the Imperial Examination of Da Yi? Watching from here is not as deep as experiencing it in person."
Yi Xianhuang said with a smile.
He looked at Fu Su with interest.
"Can I? I am not a citizen of Da Yi."
Fu Su was pleasantly surprised. If it was really possible, it would be a rare experience.
"Why not? It is just an experience anyway. You can come with us. Anyway, our test will not be counted in the overall ranking of the Imperial Examination. There is no need to care about disrupting the Imperial Examination. It is a good chance to see how far you have reached. "
Yi Ziyang nodded in agreement.
"Thank you, Brother Ziyang."
Fu Su agreed with a smile.
The next day.
November Fifteen.
The doors of the examination compound opened.
A large number of students stepped into the compound. Once they entered, they were naturally transported to their respective rooms. There was no need to search for them. Their positions had already been allocated. It saved a lot of time. All the necessary items were already prepared in the rooms.
Brush, ink, paper, inkstone, as well as food and drink, there was everything.
These were all provided by Da Yi for free, eliminating all worries.
The ten subjects of the Imperial Examination, liberal arts, education, agriculture, prisons, commerce, military affairs, fortifications, medicine, governance, and the people's livelihood.
The first subject was a written test. There was no need to write the Four Books and Five Classics. No need to write poems. There was only one thing needed, which was to write a policy paper.
This was a test of one's overall view of the big picture and one's own philosophy of governance.
The process of entering was very fast. There was no frisking or searching. In the examination compound, there was no way to cheat. Everything was monitored on the Star Web.
Azure Cloud Building.
The chief examiner this time, Bao Zheng, opened the scroll.
