The shock on the other three's faces didn't lessen at all. Instead, it became even more intense.
When they were on the street, Yuan Tiangang had said that their Dao Sect was the sect closest to Immortals.
But now it seemed.
How could it be the Dao Sect?
It was clearly the people in the Ghost Rider Department who were the closest!
Not only did they receive the Immortal Master's teachings, but they also had the Immortal Master's disciples, who were led by the True Immortals of the Heavens. Even if they weren't master and disciple in name, they were already master and disciple in reality.
If they were valued.
It wasn't impossible to pass on the Immortal Master's teachings and lead them to the Immortal Path!
This was the Immortal Path!
Even if there was only a glimmer of hope, who knew how many people would flock to it. Not to mention, the Immortal Master's teachings could control ghosts and get rid of ghosts!
"How can one be valued by the Immortal Master and join the Ghost Rider Department?" Daoist Zhi Yuan couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know yet." Li Chunfeng shook his head helplessly. "The Immortal Master's teachings were the first to ask directly. I wanted to get up, but Cheng Zhijie beat me to it. The people who followed were all chosen by Immortal Gu. They were all people with high cultivation and were all from the army."
Gu Yan had chosen two more people in the past few days.
They were also from the army.
It was mainly because they valued the words and actions of the army and weren't afraid of death.
After Daoist Zhi Yuan and the others heard this, they could only grimace.
Normally speaking, immortals should be closer to Daoism. But now, it was hard to say how the Immortal Monarch was like, but this Immortal Gu obviously preferred people in the army.
"No matter what, the Ghost Rider Department is a path to heaven." Yuan Tiangang said in a more serious tone, "Even if we have no fate with the Immortal Path, we can still protect our Dao Sect in this catastrophe."
"Exactly!" Daoist Zhi Yuan nodded solemnly.
This was already the truth in front of them.
When Shen Yi saw this, he shifted his gaze back.
Similar conversations had happened many times during this period of time.
The world's talents were indeed gathering in Chang 'an. The first thing they did after arriving in Chang' an was to understand what the Immortals had said and done during this period, especially every word they had said.
Smart people could already see the world of great competition.
Because it was pushed by Shen Yi and the others.
"Only with competition can there be growth and change." Shen Yi said slowly, "There are more geniuses in this world than I thought. Many knowledge that should have been extinct still exist."
It wasn't just the Gongshu Family.
Shen Yi also saw the schools of Mohism, Legalism, Military, and even Yin-Yang.
There were also some sects that did not exist in the history that he knew.
It had been a thousand years since the flourishing period of the Esoteric Debate.
It took thousands of years for Confucianism to be able to leave behind so many ideological inheritances. This was indeed beyond Shen Yi's expectations.
"This should be related to psionic energy." Clove stood by Shen Yi's side and said softly, "In this era, the inheritance of knowledge mainly depends on people, and a certain cultivation system increases people's lifespan and chances of survival. Naturally, a lot of inheritance and knowledge can be preserved."
"No matter what, this is a good thing." Shen Yi nodded. "As long as there is a stage, the clash of ideas can easily bring about great changes, and only changes can give the civilization the motivation to face the end of the world and move forward."
"Captain." Clove suddenly turned to look at Shen Yi, and there seemed to be some kind of expression in her eyes. She said slowly, "Before this big stage really begins, I want to start the prelude of a flourishing era."
Shen Yi turned his head and looked at her with some surprise.
Because Clove was full of motivation at this time.
Obviously, she had obtained her own satisfaction from the situation in front of her. However, Shen Yi was still not sure whether this satisfaction came from saving humanity or from guiding and promoting the advancement of the civilization.
Or perhaps, both.
"Do whatever you want." Shen Yi finally smiled. "I have given you the task of guiding the development of the civilization. This is your job."
"I won't let you down, Captain." Clove also showed a smile. Although the expression at this time was still an illusion, there was a soul-stirring elegance.
She had grown again.
Shen Yi clearly noticed this.
Then.
From this point, he also felt a sense of satisfaction that belonged to him.
"Then I look forward to your performance." Shen Yi finally said.
His eyes looked at the world again.
At this time, the frequency of the evil spirits' appearance was gradually increasing. However, Clove could easily detect the evil spirits as soon as they appeared with the help of the firefly micro-detector. Coupled with Gu Yan's running around and Lin Yiran's help, the situation was still under control.
And two days later.
Shen Yi finally knew what Clove meant by the "prelude".
She directly asked Li Shimin to issue another notice to Chang 'an.
Five days later, she would guide all the talents in Chang 'an to the Immortal Palace to answer the previous questions.
As soon as this notice was issued, it immediately caused an uproar in the city.
Some were excited, some were frightened, and some were worried.
The reason was simple.
This was the fairy's personal guidance!
It was not selected by the imperial court, nor was it decided by the aristocratic families, but only by the fairy!
During this period of time, the fairy Clove had long been known by everyone, and her "great magical power" was even more well-known. Her image in people's hearts had already represented vast knowledge and endless wisdom. Her status in knowledge had even far surpassed that of the sages.
If it was in the West, then it would be the Goddess of Wisdom.
And in the East, it would be the Wenqu Star, the Bodhisattva of Manjushri, the symbol of wisdom.
This also meant that.
Those who were selected by Clove and could go to the Immortal Palace would truly receive the title of "talent". Similarly, those who were not selected would also be defined as "untalented".
At least, they were far inferior to these selected talents.
And for those hidden inheritors, most of them were excited and frightened.
Once selected.
For them, it would be a good opportunity for their own doctrines and inheritances to re-enter the world and even prosper again. This was the certification of the immortals, and no one could slander their doctrines.
But at the same time, if they were not selected, it meant that their doctrines were really not good.
This was undoubtedly a fatal blow to many inheritors of doctrines who were already weak.
For a time, those who believed in themselves were excited, and those who lacked confidence were frightened.
And another day passed.
Li Shimin issued another imperial edict.
All the talents selected by the fairy, regardless of their birth, past, or gender, would all be included in the Hall of Talents with the title of "scholar". They would be given an eighth-grade official title and receive the imperial court's offerings.
This added another push to this prelude that belonged exclusively to the elites.
