Every ten years, the Notre-Dame would select the Four Great Scholars. If one of the Four Great Scholars became a Great Scholar, the Notre-Dame would consider selecting the next Four Great Scholars.
Preparations for the selection of the current generation's Four Great Scholars had begun in Year 202 of the New Calendar. However, no one had been able to determine the leader of the Four Great Scholars. That year, Fang Yun entered the Ninth Mountain and entered the literary world.
In the year 202 of the new calendar, Fang Yun spent most of his time in the literary world and the Two World Mountain. The Four Great Scholars of this year had not been officially decided.
It was now the year 203 of the new calendar, and the Notre-Dame still had not decided on the leader of the Four Great Scholars.
In the Notre-Dame, there were many discussion halls. These halls were not built with physical objects, but with the Divine Temple's Qi. Only those who were qualified could enter.
Every time the Four Great Scholars were selected, there would be a temporary "Chosen Hall", which meant to select the talents.
The Chosen Hall was made up of nine Great Scholars and thirty-one Great Scholars.
The first step of selecting the Four Great Scholars was to nominate the candidates from the thirty-one scholars. Then, they would select four candidates and confirm them as the Four Great Scholars.
The next step was for the nine Great Scholars of the Notre-Dame to rank the Four Great Scholars. One of them would be chosen as the leader of the Four Great Scholars, and would be nurtured as the leader of the human race.
The leader of the Four Great Scholars of the previous generation was Shi Jun, Lu Huaijiang. He was a modest gentleman, and whether it was his character or talent, he was a model. After the Four Great Scholars were selected, the other three gathered together and elected Shi Jun as the leader of the Four Great Scholars. There was no dispute.
Before that, the Four Great Scholars had been led by Yi Zhishi. Back then, there had been people who had evaluated Yi Zhishi as "the best of the three generations". No one in his previous generation, contemporaries, or the next generation could compare to him, so he deserved the title of the Four Great Scholars. Now, Yi Zhishi had been promoted to a literary hero, the number one human below the Saints, which proved that the evaluation back then had been correct.
However, the selection of the Four Great Scholars of the new generation had been in a stalemate.
There was no problem with the selection of the Four Great Scholars of the new generation, but the ranking was a problem.
The ranking of the Four Great Scholars required the unanimous approval of the nine Great Scholars. If any of the Great Scholars did not approve, then the ranking would not be completed.
In the past, when the Elite Selection Academy ranked the Four Great Scholars, although there were conflicts or deadlocks, they would all be resolved within a year, allowing the Four Great Scholars to appear as soon as possible to inspire the human race.
However, two years had already passed since the selection of the Four Great Scholars of this generation. Even now, there was no way to confirm the selection. It seemed like it would take three years or even longer.
In these two years, the hottest topic was undoubtedly the expansion of the imperial examinations. The topic of Fang Yun and Zhang Longxiang was also a hot topic. The third most popular topic was the ranking of the Four Great Scholars.
Starting from two years ago, whenever the ranking of the Four Great Scholars was mentioned, the ranking list would immediately turn into a battlefield. Scholars from all over the country would use words as swords to fight against each other. Some scholars would, in a moment of excitement, insult or even curse each other, resulting in them being banned from the ranking list for several days or even years.
Among the Four Great Scholars of this generation, the first was Lei Zhongmo from the Lei family. He was famous for creating the Flood Dragon Literary Platform. He even protected the Lei family from being severely punished by the Notre-Dame because of this.
The second was Yang Xuanye from the Gu Kingdom. The Gu Kingdom was weaker than Jingguo. It was also the only human kingdom that paid tribute to the Barbarian Race. However, even in such a harsh environment, Yang Xuanye had always been fighting. Furthermore, the more he fought, the braver he became.
The third was Huang Zhen. This person was well-versed in Legalism and was especially proficient in the power of drawing a prison. In the Two World Mountain, this person's code of law actually flew out of the Heavenly Prison of the Shu Kingdom and imprisoned 12 Demon Kings.
The fourth was Xiao Yutian. He was not famous in the Notre-Dame Continent, but he was famous in the Ten Cold Ancient Land. He was known as the top scholar in the Ten Cold Ancient Land in recent years. It was rumored that he was lucky enough to master the power of an ancient Demon Saint, the Frost Emperor. Whenever he used a battle poem, coldness would descend from the sky. He had once killed five ordinary Barbarian Kings by himself. Some people even said that Xiao Yutian would always be number one in the Ten Cold Ancient Land.
The names of the four people had also been decided. Lei Zhongmo was named "Flood Dragon Lord", Yang Xuanye was named "War Lord", Huang Zhen was named "Hell Lord", and Xiao Yutian was named "Ice Lord".
Currently, in the Chosen Academy, there were six people who supported Lei Zhongmo as the leader of the four great talents, one person each supported Huang Zhen and Xiao Yutian, and two people supported Yang Xuanye.
In these two years, the Chosen Academy would hold a Great Confucian Conference every few days. The nine Great Confucians would definitely argue.
When Fang Yun entered the Eye of the Sea, the Great Confucians of the Chosen Academy started arguing like students in class.
"Everyone, this is already the third year! If the Four Great Talents can't be chosen and one of them becomes a Great Confucian, then the new Four Great Talents will have to be chosen. This is not only unfair to Lei Zhongmo, it is also unfair to the other scholars. "
"We can't delay any longer. If the new leader of the Four Great Talents can't be chosen within a month, I will ask the Holy Judgement as a Great Confucian of the Chosen Academy."
"In my opinion, we should ask the Holy Judgement as soon as possible. This matter should be decided by the Dongsheng Pavilion. His Majesty Zong Sheng will definitely choose Lei Zhongmo as the leader of the next Four Great Talents."
"Ridiculous! What ability does Lei Zhongmo have? He is just relying on the protection of the Lei family and the West Sea Dragons. Although the Flood Dragon Wen Tai is strong, it is still a foreign species. Just this Wen Tai is not worthy of being the leader of the Four Great Talents. "
"How can the Old Man let you ask for the Holy Judgement? Before that, the Old Man will definitely think of a way to choose the Four Great Talents again. You have to know that in these two years, there are many talents in the human race that have risen. For example, Zhang Longxiang and Wei Huangan are the best of the human race. "
"Don't forget about Fang Xusheng! Fang Xusheng just became a Great Scholar a few days ago. As long as the Four Great Talents are chosen again, the leader will have nothing to do with Lei Zhongmo. "
"The Four Great Talents cannot be chosen again!" Lei Tingzhen was furious.
"If there is no new selection, then I will choose Yang Xuanye. Although Yang Xuanye is not as strong as Lei Zhongmo's family, he has always been fighting against demons and barbarians. He even went to Ning An City to help. If not for the lack of generals in Gu Country, he would have gone to Two World Mountain a long time ago. He would not have let the Battle of Bi Can be stolen by a literary person! "
"Yang Xuanye is not bad. He is not like Lei Zhongmo who wants to harm Xusheng."
Lei Tingzhen could not help but say, "The Old Man reiterates that Lei Zhongmo did not participate in the assassination of Fang Yun."
"Oh? Then you and the other members of the Lei family participated? "
"The Chosen Courtyard only talks about the Four Great Talents and nothing else!"
"The Four Great Talents emphasize character and Literary Name the most. Lei Zhongmo's Literary Name is half black and half white. His character is also very bad. How can he be the leader of the Four Great Talents!"
"I am afraid that after Feng Chengjue, the Lei family will also have a rebellious Four Great Talents."
Lei Tingzhen said angrily, "Nonsense! Ignorant! When Zhongmo returns, if the Four Great Talents have not been decided, the Old Man will ask the Holy Judgement! "
… …
The Chosen Courtyard fell into a daily dispute.
In the East Sea Dragon Palace, Fang Yun stepped into the eye of the sea. Then, the world spun. He found himself in a black hall that was hundreds of feet tall. The style of the hall was similar to the Blood Light World's Sin Suppression Hall. However, it was rougher. Every stone seemed to contain a strong fighting spirit.
