As he spoke, a golden imperial edict suddenly appeared in the Grand Xuan King's hand.
Cultivators who hadn't entered the Celestial Empire didn't have to kneel, while those who had entered the Celestial Empire didn't have to kneel.
Everyone bowed slightly and said, "May the Emperor live for ten thousand years."
"His Majesty has decreed that the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty has broken the alliance and betrayed their promises. The Great Guang Imperial Dynasty is a jackal of the same tribe, colluding with each other. The Imperial Dynasty China actually dared to invade the Celestial Empire. The heavens and earth will not tolerate this. The heavens and earth will not tolerate this. Thus, the Great Xuan King is appointed as the Governor of the Southern Border to guard the Southern Border.
"May the Emperor live for ten thousand years!" all the candidates replied at the same time.
Go out? This was a good opportunity to make a name for themselves. Although the top three could become officials in the Celestial Empire, even the top scholar would only be a minor official. If they made a name for themselves at the frontlines, they would definitely be better off when they returned.
Zhong Shan frowned and looked at the Grand Xuan King. No wonder the other three crown princes went to the frontlines while the Grand Xuan King didn't. The other crown princes only faced one empire, but the Grand Xuan King faced two. He actually didn't go when he was in such a predicament. It turned out that he was waiting for this batch of talents to help him.
Putting away the imperial edict, the Grand Xuan King looked at all the candidates.
"All of you have eight hours of free time. After eight hours, my people will swiftly check your exam papers and select the people I want before we set out right away. As for your exam papers and your rankings in the top three, it will be decided by His Majesty in the near future, and it will be added to the Allheaven Golden Rankings before all of your results are announced to the world. The top three will be conferred the Grand Luo Divine Throne! "the Grand Xuan King said clearly.
"Yes," all the candidates quickly replied.
"Go out now and return in eight hours. You can bring ten people with you, "the Grand Xuan King said clearly.
"Yes," all the candidates immediately replied.
Then, they all flew out of the Imperial Library.
Zhong Shan also flew out of the Imperial Library's huge area on his blade, breaking through the clouds and finally arriving outside.
"Mister." Ah Da's voice came from afar.
Princess Qian You, Ah Da, and Ah Er were waiting on a mountain peak not far away.
"Let's go find a secluded place," Zhong Shan immediately said.
"Okay." Everyone immediately nodded.
Soon, everyone returned to Princess Qian You's residence.
Princess Qian You's residence, Serene Orchid Palace!
"Mister, it's really as we guessed before. The Grand Xuan King didn't leave and even took on the role of chief examiner because he wanted to bring away this batch of capable people to fill in the gaps in the war in the south," Princess Qian You said with a frown.
"That's right," Zhong Shan said in a low voice. "The topic of today's examination is war. In His Majesty's decree, there is also the extermination of the two dynasties. This is not about defending the southern border, but war. It is extermination. We must exterminate the two dynasties."
"Will Sir be chosen?" Princess Qian You looked at Zhong Shan with some reluctance. Although she had already guessed the result, she still couldn't bear to part with him.
"Maybe." Zhong Shan nodded and admitted.
"Did you do very well?" Princess Qian You asked reluctantly.
Zhong Shan smiled wryly and said, "The article that was struck by lightning should be selected."
"Sir, then the endless lightning around the Imperial Library was attracted by you?" Ah Da asked in disbelief.
"It's just luck." Zhong Shan nodded.
"Sss ~ ~ ~"
Ah Da and Ah Er both sucked in a breath. This was too unbelievable. If not for their absolute trust in Zhong Shan, they wouldn't have believed it even if they were beaten to death. How could a sixth tier Jindan write an article that attracted the wrath of the heavens?
As for Princess Qian You, she looked at Zhong Shan with a trace of peace in her eyes. It was as if it wasn't too hard to accept that Zhong Shan's article attracted the wrath of the heavens. After all, this was the man she liked.
"Sir, you can go. I'll let Ah Da accompany you." Princess Qian You immediately said.
After Princess Qian You finished speaking, Ah Da and Ah Er stood to the side and waited silently.
"Take Ah Da away? What about you, Princess? "Zhong Shan frowned and asked.
"I'm fine. I still have Ah Er. Moreover, I'll be staying in the Immemorial Sacred Capital for a while. I also need to make a breakthrough." Princess Qian You said.
Looking at Ah Da, Zhong Shan, and then at Princess Qian You, no words needed to be spoken. Zhong Shan nodded lightly and said, "Alright!"
Seeing Zhong Shan agree so simply, Princess Qian You suddenly smiled knowingly. She felt incomparably happy.
Turning her head, Princess Qian You looked at Ah Da. "Ah Da, for the time being, your mission is to protect Sir. Make sure he's safe at all times."
"Yes. Unless Ah Da dies, anyone who wants to harm Sir will have to step over Ah Da's corpse." Ah Da said solemnly.
"Mm." Princess Qian You nodded in satisfaction.
Then, Ah Da slowly walked behind Zhong Shan.
Princess Qian You looked at Zhong Shan and said affectionately, "Sir, wait for me to break through. After a while, I'll go to the front lines to see you."
"Mm." Zhong Shan only nodded lightly. Seeing Princess Qian You's expression, he didn't know why, but his heart was fiercely plucked.
"You must be careful." Princess Qian You said very naturally. Princess Qian You didn't realize that she was no longer the incomparably shrewd Princess Qian You of the past. Instead, she was a little woman who was worried about her husband.
"I will. You must take care of yourself as well. Wait for news of my great victory. "Zhong Shan said.
"I believe in you." Princess Qian You nodded and smiled.
The two didn't say anything else. The words "I believe in you" contained everything.
"Princess, I'm leaving." Zhong Shan said.
"Mm." Princess Qian You nodded.
Then, Zhong Shan turned and walked out of the Serene Orchid Palace. Ah Da followed closely behind. Zhong Shan didn't look back, and Princess Qian You didn't send him off. She just watched as Zhong Shan left. It wasn't until Zhong Shan's figure disappeared from Princess Qian You's sight that she regained her senses.
After leaving the Serene Orchid Palace, Ah Da rode a cloud. Under Zhong Shan's command, they quickly stopped at a business district.
In front of the Gathering Mortal House.
Figures crowded around. A large number of customers were waiting, and a large number of shop assistants were attending to them. The shopkeeper of Jifan Shop, Zheng, was looking at the endless stream of customers with satisfaction. At this time, Zhong Shan's arrival caused Zheng to pause for a moment.
"Mister Zhong, long time no see. Last time, it was all thanks to you that my Jifan Shop's sales were so good. What do you want this time? I'll get it for you immediately." Zhong Cheng's eyes lit up as he stepped forward.
"One hundred Butterfly Firecrackers." Zhong Shan said with a faint smile.
"Oh, what a coincidence. I happen to have some here. Jifan Shop's good business is all thanks to Mister Zhong. These one hundred Butterfly Firecrackers are a gift from the shop. "Zhong Cheng said with a smile.
"Alright, many thanks." Zhong Shan nodded.
Then, their storage bracelets touched and one hundred Butterfly Firecrackers entered Zhong Shan's bracelet.
With a faint smile, Zhong Shan said, "Goodbye!"
"Goodbye. If you have any orders next time, just look for me!" Zhong Cheng said with a smile.
Zhong Shan nodded and flew away with Ah Da.
Looking at Zhong Shan and Ah Da flying away, the smile on Zhong Cheng's face disappeared. He frowned slightly and immediately walked into Jifan Shop. He walked into a secret room and used a flag array to block the divine sense so that outsiders would not know what was going on inside.
With a flip of his hand, a jade slip appeared in Zhong Cheng's hand. He read it with his heart.
Zhong Cheng frowned at first, but then his brows relaxed and his face showed surprise. He said, "Godfather, you have such a long-term plan. Making money from war? Yes, making money from war is the best. Looks like I have to go to the front line too. "
"Mister, why do you want to buy firecrackers?" Ah Da asked curiously.
"You have to prepare for everything. Although firecrackers are small, they have their uses. Everything has its uses. The key is whether you can find where to use them. I can't tell now, but I can't be sure in the future." Zhong Shan replied.
"En." Ah Da nodded.
In the following period of time, Zhong Shan also searched for some strange things in the city. Ah Da did not understand and did not ask anymore.
Eight hours were up.
Zhong Shan brought Ah Da back to the Imperial Library.
Countless examinees gathered in the Imperial Library again. When all the examinees left, the Grand Xuan King also chose a large number of officials from the Immemorial Sacred Capital and began to quickly check the articles. The Grand Xuan King personally looked through the good articles.
The Grand Xuan King's analytical ability was incomparably strong. With a glance, he could tell the quality of the articles.
After eight hours, he roughly chose four hundred people. Among them, three hundred were originally from the floating islands in the Imperial Library, and only one hundred were chosen from the hundred thousand examinees below.
Four hundred people. Four hundred people did not seem like a lot. Compared to the million strong army they were going to face, these four hundred people were like a drop of water in the ocean. However, these four hundred people were not cannon fodder, but at the very least, they were the leaders of the army. They were existences that held great power.
In midair, an official used a skill to write out the names of these four hundred people.
Four hundred people. First place: Zhong Shan. Second place: Shui Jing. Third place: Heaven's Equal. Fourth place: Golden Cicada. …
The four hundred people who were chosen brought along their followers and flew towards the largest floating island in the center, the Imperial Library.
The Grand Xuan King brought along dozens of personal guards and looked at the thousands of people who were flying up.
"Alright, there are less than a hundred people in the top three. However, I know that none of you are ordinary people. Follow me to battle now. For those who enter the top three, there will be imperial edicts for you. For those who do not enter the top three, I will temporarily give you the authority to lead your troops. On the battlefield, make your contributions. "The Grand Xuan King said solemnly.
"Yes." Everyone replied immediately.
And just at this moment, a gigantic object flew over from the Eastern side of the Imperial Library.
It was a ship. A gigantic golden ship that shone with a golden luster. No, it should be a warship. A gigantic golden warship that was 8,000 meters long.
This was the God Ship, a gigantic treasure that resembled a fortress in the sky. Zhong Shan had only heard of it and had never seen it with his own eyes.
