Dark clouds filled the sky and lightning flashed. Under the heavenly might, the pressure was endless. Below, strong winds blew. Everything looked like the end of the world, as if the world was about to fall.
A purple lightning bolt as thick as a water tank shot down like the leader of an army. The moment it shot down, billions of lightning bolts followed.
It was like the water of the Milky Way bursting its banks and erupting endlessly like a volcano. The heavens were angry.
In an instant, the entire Imperial Library fell into a state of panic.
Countless candidates were terrified. They were only here to take a small test. Was there a need to be struck by lightning?
Those with lower cultivation levels immediately took out their flying swords and fled quickly. Those who could not escape in time quickly used their protective shields to protect themselves and even took out various Dharma treasures to block the lightning bolts.
They admired and hated Zhong Shan, who had written the essay that heaven and earth could not tolerate. Because of Zhong Shan, everyone was able to see this masterpiece. But because of Zhong Shan, their lives were in danger.
If one heard the Dao in the morning, one could die in the evening without regrets.
This was only for the minority. Most people still wanted to seek the Dao and live forever.
The Imperial Library suddenly became chaotic. The elegant demeanor of the people was gone. What was the use of being elegant? How could it be more important than their lives?
Above the Profound Literature Pavilion, the people who used to be on the floating island were much better. These people were able to defeat three people of the same cultivation level. These people, apart from Zhong Shan, were all extremely strong cultivators.
Although the lightning bolts were vast, in the eyes of these people, it was not a sure-death situation. Moreover, the main target of the lightning bolts was Zhong Shan and Zhong Shan's essay that heaven and earth could not tolerate.
The examinees at the top wanted to know what Zhong Shan had written. What kind of essay could incur the wrath of the heavens and be struck by lightning?
The moment the lightning bolts struck, Heaven's Equal, Golden Cicada, and Shui Jing all stared at Zhong Shan from the east, south, and west.
Heaven's Equal clenched his fists and a fighting spirit flashed in his eyes. It seemed that he had underestimated him.
Golden Cicada put his palms together and closed his eyes to recite the sutra. Clearly, he had not expected such an essay to appear. Compared to this lightning strike, his Splendid Landscape Painting was far from enough!
Mister Shui Jing stared at Zhong Shan and frowned. A look of disbelief flashed across his eyes. How old was Zhong Shan? He was only at the Xiantian Realm a dozen years ago, which meant that he was at most 200 years old now. At such a young age, how could it be?
Mister Shui Jing saw Zhong Shan as his greatest enemy in the theory examination because Zhong Shan was constantly emitting a strange aura that he could not fathom. However, even if he couldn't figure it out, Mister Shui Jing was still extremely confident. No one could compare to his confidence in his own writing, not even Zhong Shan. Although Mister Shui Jing was extremely humble to outsiders, he was extremely proud in his heart. Perhaps in this world, only Princess Consort was his Achilles' heel. As for Zhong Shan's article, although he expected that it would surpass others, it was impossible for it to surpass his own.
Zhong Shan's essay had been written, and the heavens were unpredictable. It was a good essay that touched the heavens, but if it angered the heavens, how could it be described as a good essay? Even if one cursed at the heavens, the heavens would not be angry. However, what had Zhong Shan written to make the heavens so angry?
The weak fled in all directions. It was chaos. The strong were constantly on guard, but they were still considered calm.
Calm. At this moment, no one was calmer than Zhong Shan.
In everyone's eyes, Zhong Shan's behavior was extremely strange.
Most of the people here could see that he was in the sixth tier of the Jindan Realm. Just that purple lightning strike was enough to blast him to smithereens. At this moment, if it was someone else, wouldn't they have run away?
Zhong Shan was different. Instead, he flicked his sleeves and looked up at the sky, looking righteous and proud.
Was this guy stupid? He didn't even use a protective shield?
Zhong Shan stood facing the wind. As the wind blew, Zhong Shan's sleeves fluttered.
Zhong Shan was not afraid because he already knew the result. The red luan and pink lotus were still pink, and there was no change. That meant that there was no threat. There was definitely no threat. When the time came, there would definitely be strong people coming from all directions to block the lightning for him. Even if there was no one, he would still be struck by the lightning as he stood there.
If he was fine, what did Zhong Shan have to be afraid of? He was bound to be the top scorer. At this time, it was better to be righteous than cower. At least in terms of momentum, it was better to be unpredictable. It was better to be unpredictable! The less others knew about him, the safer he would be. Mystery was always the best defense.
In the face of the apocalyptic lightning strike, Zhong Shan was indifferent. On the floating island, he stood facing the wind and glared at the heavens.
This scene was seen by everyone. Although they felt that Zhong Shan's behavior was strange, there was an additional sense of admiration in their eyes. His expression did not change even when lightning struck his head! At least, most people could not do it.
When the red light of Zhong Shan's essay soared into the sky, the Great Xuan King stared at Zhong Shan. A faint silver light shot out from his eyes as he looked at Zhong Shan with slight surprise.
Seeing that Zhong Shan was calm and unruly, the Great Xuan King sighed slightly. To be able to be so calm and not even blink when the lightning struck, what a character!
Two years ago, it seemed that the eight million soldiers of the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty were toyed with by him with a 'weak' body was not baseless.
As the main examiner, the Great Xuan King naturally had the responsibility to maintain the security of the examination venue.
Looking up at the sky, a silver light shot out from his eyes.
"Hmph ~ ~ ~ ~"
With a soft snort, the Great Xuan King made his move.
The Great Xuan King waved his left hand slightly. Everyone around the Profound Library felt their bodies stop, and even their heartbeats stopped.
The wind stopped blowing.
The Great Xuan King waved his left hand to stop the wind, and his right hand rose into the sky.
"Weng ~ ~ ~ ~"
Everyone saw a golden palm break away from the Great Xuan King's right hand and shoot upwards. When it reached a height of three hundred meters, suddenly …
"Boom ~ ~ ~ ~"
A super loud sound covered the endless lightning. Everyone saw that the golden palm seemed to stop suddenly, as if it was obstructed by something and blocked by a huge force.
No, it was not blocked. Instead, it was the golden palm that created a section!
Where the palm stopped, there was a section, a parallel section. This section blocked the palm and isolated all the lightning that was rushing down.
After being hit by the golden palm, a vast and surging power seemed to have erupted from that section. It was like a surging sea with thousands of waves soaring into the sky. Suddenly, the air that was compressed by the huge force, along with the huge force of the Great Xuan King's palm, transformed into a huge golden wave that soared into the sky.
"Boom ~ ~ ~"
With a super loud sound, all the lightning that covered the sky and covered the earth, as if it was the end of the world, was dispersed by this huge golden wave and continued to soar into the sky.
"Boom ~ ~ ~ ~"
Under the vast and huge force, the endless dark clouds and thunderclouds were actually shattered by the power of this palm.
The sky was still dark, but at this moment, the clouds were no longer endless. Suddenly, a large amount of cracks appeared, and some light leaked out from the cracks. Within the pitch-black clouds, it was like a spider web that covered the sky, looking incomparably shocking.
Gradually, the dark clouds in the sky seemed to have yielded and slowly dispersed.
Everyone looked at the sky, at the might of the heavens, at the thunderclouds that were struck by lightning. Such a vast and boundless thundercloud was shattered by a single palm? A single palm?
Merely a single palm?
The Great Xuan King?
Everyone's gazes turned towards the Great Xuan King. This person that could reach the heavens, the Crown Prince of the Great Xuan Dynasty, the Great Xuan King!
At this moment, everyone looked at the Great Xuan King with reverence. This was absolute strength, a vast and boundless strength. An existence at the peak of the world.
Looking at the Great Xuan King that shattered the thunderclouds with a single palm, Zhong Shan took a deep breath.
The Crown Prince of the Great Xuan Dynasty? This was the strength of the Crown Prince of the Great Xuan Dynasty? Too strong, too strong. If the Crown Prince was already so strong, then what could the Emperor do?
So what if the Emperor was the strongest person in the Great Xuan Dynasty?
The Immemorial Sacred Capital was indeed a place with crouching tigers and hidden dragons. How many more surprises would it give him?
Heaven's Equal looked at the Great Xuan King with a light smile on the corner of his mouth. However, there wasn't much reverence. On the south side, when Mister Shui Jing looked at the Great Xuan King, he frowned and took a deep breath, with bewilderment in his eyes. On the west side, Golden Cicada took a deep breath. He tightly looked at the Great Xuan King.
That palm was destined to remain in the hearts of most people here. Imprinting the invincible image of the Great Xuan King.
There wasn't any joy in the Great Xuan King's eyes when he shattered the thunderclouds with a single palm, as if it was an ordinary matter. He turned his head and glanced at the nearby hourglass.
"Time's up ~ ~ ~" The Great Xuan King solemnly said.
His voice wasn't very loud, but it strangely entered everyone's ears like a thunderclap. After the matter of shattering the thunderclouds with a single palm, this voice seemed to have an additional sense of majesty.
At this moment, those who hadn't finished writing no longer complained, because if anyone complained that there wasn't enough time after seeing the appearance of this shocking scene, they would be looked down upon by others.
When the time was up, everyone stopped writing. Among the hundred thousand plus essays, there were four essays that emitted a faint light.
On the east side, Heaven's Equal's essay was emitting a golden light.
On the south side, Shui Jing's essay was emitting a white light.
On the west side, Golden Cicada's essay was emitting a green light.
On the north side, Zhong Shan's essay was emitting a red light.
In the past, it was already extremely rare to have such a shocking piece of work. However, this time, there were four. It was truly a flourishing age of the Great Xuan Dynasty.
No one dared to compete for the top three of the first grade, the top scholar, the role model, and the third. Even if they did, they wouldn't have the face to admit it.
The Great Xuan King's expression was solemn. When the time was up, he didn't let the officials collect the essays that everyone had written. Instead, he looked at all the examinees, inspecting them one by one. It was as if he was sifting through something.
Everyone watched patiently, until the Great Xuan King looked at everyone and said, "His Majesty has decreed." (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen, please go to www.qidian.com, there are more chapters. Support the author, support the original reading!)
