A large number of cultivators surrounded the valley and looked inside in shock.
By the time Zhong Shan, Princess Qian You, and the others arrived, the competition had already ended. Within the valley, three experts were imprisoned, their bodies emitting a faint yellow light. A bald monk in golden robes stood in the center.
The monk put his palms together and looked very young.
"Golden Cicada wins!"
The bald monk won. He took a jade tablet from the referee and slowly flew out of the valley. Following closely behind him was a man in monk robes. The man wore a lotus flower monk hat and held a purple-gold glazed staff.
"Princess, that, that, that is the Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon Bodhisattva." Ah Er's eyes widened in disbelief.
Zhong Shan also looked at the monk who was gradually disappearing into the distance. The monk with the Buddhist staff was the Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon Bodhisattva. What kind of person was the Golden Cicada who had just won in front of him?
"Reincarnated Spirit Boy?" Mister Shui Jing frowned.
"It can't be. Reincarnated Spirit Children are usually protected by Luohan. What, what is going on? The personal protection of the Great Mighty Celestial Dragon Bodhisattva? What's the origin of this golden cicada? "Princess Qian You frowned.
"There are three possibilities for a reincarnated soul child to be able to request the protection of a Bodhisattva. First, he had a good relationship with the Bodhisattva in his previous life. Second, the Bodhisattva was entrusted by someone. Third, the reincarnated soul child was no longer a Bodhisattva in his previous life, but a Buddha," Mr. Shui Jing said with a frown.
"People from the Pure Lands are actually participating in the Imperial Examinations of the Daluo Heaven Dynasty. I wonder if the other three Holy Lands are participating as well. This time, the Imperial Examinations are getting more and more interesting." Princess Qian You smiled.
"Five days later, in the theory examination, everything will be clear." Mister Shui Jing nodded.
Five days later, the written examination began. After today's theory examination, the top three would be decided.
The location of the competition was the Profound Library.
The Profound Library was located in the east of the Immemorial Sacred Capital and had a long history. The Daluo Celestial Dynasty had been established for 8,000 years, but the Profound Library had a history of 100,000 years. Before the Daluo Celestial Dynasty, the Profound Library had already existed in the era of other Celestial Dynasties. It was an ancient Sacred Land for scholars.
The Wen Yuan Pavilion was a place. It was a super huge floating island that floated in the air. Above it was the Wen Yuan Pavilion. Around the Wen Yuan Pavilion, there was a circle of floating islands. A thousand small floating islands formed a flat surface and floated around the Profound Library.
Below the floating island of the Profound Library, a hundred thousand desks had already been set up. They were spaced apart from each other, forming a large circle for the examinees to take the theory test. In front of each desk, there was already a practitioner standing. Waiting for the topic of the written test.
A hundred thousand people stood below the floating island of the Profound Library. Similarly, a thousand cultivators stood above the floating island of the Profound Library.
These thousand cultivators were able to stand on the floating island not because of their status, but because they had defeated three people of the same cultivation level during the combat test. There were a thousand people who had obtained jade tokens.
Among them were Zhong Shan, Shui Jing, Heaven's Equal, and Golden Cicada.
Everyone stood neatly, waiting for the arrival of the head examiner.
Zhong Shan looked around the Profound Library. A large number of buildings were incomparably simple and unadorned. At the same time, they emitted a very unique aura, the aura of Confucianism. It was a feeling that could only be understood.
A large number of statues were erected around the Profound Library. Each of the statues had a unique aura to them. There were a total of four thousand statues. According to Princess Qian You's introduction, each of these statues was the champion of every imperial examination. Each of them was a capable person with great wisdom.
After each champion statue was completed, a drop of blood essence would be dripped in according to a secret method. In this way, as long as the Profound Library existed, there would be an endless stream of Confucianism flowing into everyone's body. Confucianism was also a kind of luck. It was vast and powerful, and to a certain extent, it could also wash away one's karma.
Although most of the champions in the statues had died, the statues had never been removed. This was a kind of spirit and also a kind of foundation.
Everyone waited patiently. The auxiliary officials were all in place, waiting for the head examiner.
The head examiner, the Great Xuan King!
Just as the examinees were waiting anxiously, there was a sudden commotion in front of them. Following the direction of the commotion, everyone saw a group of people walking in the air in the distance.
Behind them was a group of officials of the Great Havenlaw Dynasty dressed in official robes. The one at the front was a man with a domineering face.
The man was dressed in a golden robe with boundless nobility. His long black hair was draped very smoothly behind his head. With a dignified face, he walked in the air like this. With every step he took, his figure would disappear on the spot, appearing in the distance as if he had teleported. Not long after, he walked to the Profound Library.
Only when he was close did Zhong Shan see clearly that the Great Xuan King's forehead was slightly protruding. He had a lofty and lofty dragon figure, imposing without being angry. He had a square face and a pair of bright eyes that actually had two pupils each. Dual-pupils? With a glance, it was as if one's soul was trembling.
Zhong Shan's heart tightened. What domineering eyes.
The Great Xuan King walked to the front of the examinees and looked at everyone. His eyes narrowed slightly as he said, "In position!"
"Yes!" All the examinees immediately responded.
Subsequently, everyone in the plaza of the Profound Library flew to the thousand small floating islands around the Profound Library.
Desks, brushes, and ink had long been placed on each small floating island. After waiting for a while, they would raise their brushes to take the test.
The Great Xuan King stood in front of the Profound Library and said, "His Majesty has set the topic. Battle!"
His voice was not loud, but for some reason, it spread to the thousand small floating islands and the ears of the 100,000 examinees below. In everyone's ears, it was like a clap of thunder.
Battle!
His Majesty set the topic?
Battle?
A golden word 'Battle' slowly floated up into the sky of the Profound Library for everyone to see. The word 'Battle' was vigorous and powerful, giving people the feeling of a golden spear and armored horse, and a desire to go to war on the battlefield.
Battle!
All the examinees looked at that large 'Battle' word in the sky.
Zhong Shan frowned slightly. Looking at the 'Battle' word above, he could not help but guess that the Emperor was truly enraged now that the five great imperial empires were besieging the Great Havenlaw Dynasty.
Battle! Battle against external forces, destroy all sides, and battle all sides!
Only by comprehending the Emperor's will could one achieve twice the results with half the effort.
Literary talent? Zhong Shan admitted that his literary talent was not outstanding. His literary talent was ordinary. It was almost impossible for him to write a godly piece of work that could shake the heavens and earth. Even if Zhong Shan could write some good poems, but good poems might not be able to suppress the hundred thousand examinees. Would their literary talent be bad?
1,000 floating islands. Coincidentally, to the east was Heaven's Equal Marquis! To the south was Sir Shui Jing! To the west was the mysterious Golden Cicada! To the north was Zhong Shan.
No one was in a hurry to pick up their brushes. Instead, they started to ponder.
The theory test had six hours, and they had to write an essay related to the topic!
Gradually, there were already people who had picked up their brushes.
Zhong Shan was still frowning as he pondered. He tried to recall the best words he had written back on Earth. He had to find words that contained the word 'war', and only those who had experienced the battlefield would be able to write words that contained the word 'war'. Moreover, they had to relate it to their own personal experiences and make some slight modifications.
Four hours later, Zhong Shan finally thought of what to write.
A poem. However, would a poem be enough?
Grabbing the brush beside him, he looked at the best paper in the world on the table, the white jade paper!
Taking a deep breath, he activated the Red Luan's Heavenly Scripture and channeled his mind power into his eyes. Suddenly, Zhong Shan's world became fragmented again.
Precepts of Heaven and Earth. Endless Precepts of Heaven and Earth! Appearing and disappearing. Floating and disappearing.
What Zhong Shan had to do was to write the poem he was going to write on the Precepts of Heaven and Earth. He had to find their trajectory and slowly write down the poem according to the Precepts of Heaven and Earth.
However, the patterns of the Precepts of Heaven and Earth were endless. It was not easy to make the words coincide with the Precepts of Heaven and Earth. Moreover, the Precepts of Heaven and Earth were disappearing and disappearing. It was very difficult to capture.
Zhong Shan watched patiently. As he watched, his brush slowly landed on the white jade paper. He was very slow and very careful. He followed the Precepts of Heaven and Earth and wrote the essay he had thought of.
By the time Zhong Shan started writing, many people had already finished writing their articles.
Suddenly, in the east of the Imperial Library, Heaven's Equal Marquis finished his last stroke.
Essay completed!
"Roar ~ ~ ~ ~"
A huge golden dragon soared into the sky from Heaven's Equal's essay. The image of the huge dragon was not created by magic. Instead, it was created by arrogance. A sky-piercing arrogance was born from Heaven's Equal Marquis's pen. However, this arrogance was too strong. It was so strong that even the paper could not restrain its aura. Condensing the energy that Heaven's Equal Marquis had poured into it, it transformed into the aura of a proud dragon and soared into the sky.
A vast golden dragon image circled around Heaven's Equal Marquis's essay. It was boundless and boundless.
The people who finished writing all revealed expressions of boundless shock. This was because countless people could see that above Heaven's Equal Marquis's essay, there was a lofty and lofty golden dragon that soared endlessly.
"Roar ~ ~ ~ ~"
The huge golden dragon circled around for a while and left behind a long dragon roar. Then, it once again charged into the essay. The essay on the white jade paper suddenly shone with a golden light.
Heaven's Equal Marquis had a complacent expression as he looked around.
"Congratulations, Your Highness. Congratulations, Your Highness. Heaven's Equal Marquis's literary style is outstanding. He is as proud as an azure dragon, vast and unparalleled. He will definitely be able to obtain first place in one fell swoop," said an official to the Grand Xuan King in front of the Imperial Library.
"Shut up!" said the Grand Xuan King coldly.
The flattery went too far. That official immediately shut his mouth and stood to the side, not daring to say anything else.
The Grand Xuan King continued to look around.
Indeed, after Heaven's Equal Marquis's moment of glory, on the floating island in the west of the Imperial Library.
Golden Cicada raised his brush and wrote the last stroke. Suddenly, a torrential sound was heard. A great river was surging, and beasts were roaring.
"Gululu ~ ~ ~ ~"
"Roar ~ ~ ~ ~"
"Yin ~ ~ ~ ~"
From Golden Cicada's essay, a scene of mountains, rivers, birds, and beasts suddenly rushed out. On the floating island, countless images of mountains and rivers could be seen. The great river was surging, as if it was recorded in a memory crystal.
It grew larger and larger, and more and more mountains and rivers appeared. What a picture of mountains and rivers. Splendid mountains and rivers, splendid world, splendid essay.
That aura was not at all inferior to Heaven's Equal Marquis's golden dragon image. It was endless, causing a large number of examinees who had finished writing their essays to open their eyes wide.
