On the same day, the Law Division of Xiangzhou reported the case to the Punishment Hall. Zhuang Li was stripped of his literary position and would never be able to participate in the imperial examinations again.
The results were released on the 19th of September. On the morning of the 20th of September, Fang Yun went to the Academy of Arts again because the new High Scholars were going to the Book Hill.
It was close to noon when the Book Hill was completed.
Although no one remembered the exact process of going up the Book Hill, they all knew the number of hills and pavilions they had reached.
Although there were many High Scholars who had ascended the Book Mountain this year, very few of them had reached the fourth mountain. Out of millions of High Scholars, less than a hundred had reached the fourth mountain. As for Fang Yun who had ascended the seventh mountain as a High Scholar, there was not a single one.
Scholars from all over the country, especially those from poor backgrounds, praised the Notre-Dame for expanding the scale of the Book Hill. This was because there were a few poor scholars among the most outstanding ones. Moreover, these people were not famous when they were Elementary Scholars.
In the past, these people would not have been able to pass the High Scholar examination. Even if they did, they would not be qualified to go up the Book Hill because of their low rankings. Without going up the Book Hill, their potential would not be stimulated and they would become ordinary people.
But now, the human race had given them a chance to go up the Book Hill and stimulate their potential. In the future, they could at least become Hanlin scholars or even Grand Scholars. If they were lucky, they might even become Great Scholars and leave their names in history.
The power of the human race was growing explosively.
However, it would still take a few decades for these young people to become Grand Scholars.
What made Fang Yun the happiest was that the Jingguo scholars had achieved better results in the Book Hill. This was especially so for the Dayuan Prefecture and Ningan City, which were much better than the other prefectures and counties.
Xiangzhou's performance was slightly worse because the scholars there had been suppressed by the Gyeongo people. It would take many years for them to recover.
This was the first time he was the chief examiner of a prefecture's High Scholar examination. Fang Yun was very calm and experienced, and no flaws could be found.
After finishing the most important Imperial Examinations, Fang Yun became even busier. He was not reorganizing the governance of Xiang Province, but preparing for the Ten Frigid Ancient Land.
The Yanzi Clan had specially sent a Grand Scholar and two Hanlin Scholars, who had lived in the Ten Cold Ancient Land all year round, to Baling City to guide Fang Yun on how to live in the Ten Cold Ancient Land and how to seize the title of Ten Cold King.
Not only that, the Yanzi Aristocratic Family also sent over a large number of books for Fang Yun to read. Among them, there were many portraits of the Ten Frigid Ancient Land.
At four o 'clock in the morning, Fang Yun stretched his back and walked out of the study. He looked at the dawn sky and slowly walked around the courtyard. As he stretched his body, he thought about the information about the Ten Cold Ancient Land.
"This Ten Frigid Ancient Land is very strange. It's enveloped by a great power and drifts in the starry sky. The power of the Saints can't enter directly and can only search in the vast starry sky. Those below the Saint Realm can enter the Stargate that leads to the Ten Frigid Ancient Land. This should be similar to Saint Origin World, which prevents powerful forces from entering. "
"There are many different opinions about the origin of this place because there are traces of Dragons, ancient monsters, and also traces of the Demon Race. The origin of this place is still unknown. However, I keep feeling that this Ten Frigid Ancient Land is inexplicably familiar, but I'm not sure why. "
Fang Yun raised his head and looked at the sky. It was the end of the month. It was clearly the latter half of the night, but the moon had just risen.
"There are also Star Demon Barbarians in the Ten Cold Ancient Land, which is an advantage for me. However, the disadvantage is also great because the Ice Race and other Demon Barbarians in the Ten Cold Ancient Land are closer to the Demon World. Other than me and the Yan Clan, the Mengzi Aristocratic Family, Xunzi Aristocratic Family, Zi Sizi Aristocratic Family, Wen Wang Aristocratic Family, and Zengzi Aristocratic Family will definitely make a move. And the Zong Family has been managing the Ten Cold Ancient Land all these years. "
"The Ten Cold Ancient Land was originally a Quasi-saint ancient land that was controlled by the six Quasi-saint aristocratic families. However, there were no written rules that forbade the other Half-saint aristocratic families from entering, nor were there any rules that forbade the other Half-saint aristocratic families from fighting for the Frost King. However, many Half-saint aristocratic families followed the unspoken rules. They could enter the Ten Cold Ancient Land, but they didn't fight for the Frost King position and didn't have any conflicts with the six Quasi-saint aristocratic families. The Zong Clan was different. They paid a huge price to let the other Quasi-saint aristocratic families stay out of it so that they would participate in the competition for the Frost King position.
"However, there is another reason. Now that the human race and the Demon World are about to erupt in war, winning the Frost King position would be of great benefit to the human race. The six Quasi-saint aristocratic families knew the importance of this matter. In order to prevent the human race from getting nothing, they tacitly agreed to let the Zong Clan participate in the competition for the Frost King position."
Fang Yun thought in his heart and started to think about the most famous ancient land in the Ten Cold Ancient Land. It was also called the Ten Cold Birth and Death.
Every 300 years or so, the Ten Cold Ancient Land would undergo a tremendous change, resulting in a terrifying disaster. 99% of the living beings would die in the disaster, and only a small number of people could survive through the Ice Emperor Palace.
During the process of the ancient land's birth and death, everyone would compete for the position of the ten Frost Kings. After the competition, every Frost King would be supported by the power of the Ten Frost Ancient Land and would be the strongest under the Half-saint level.
The strongest was the First Frost King, also known as the Great Frost King.
The Frost King's lifespan was extremely long, at least 200 years. However, once he left the Ten Cold Ancient Land, his lifespan would return to normal.
The current ten Frost Kings were the descendants of the previous Frost King. They were not qualified to compete for the position of the next Frost King. Once the new Frost King was born, their lifespan would be greatly reduced.
Just a moment ago, Fang Yun received a very bad news. Because of the impending birth and death, the Ten Cold Ancient Land had fallen into chaos.
Not everyone was qualified to enter the Ice Emperor Palace to avoid the birth and death. Therefore, many people were frantically searching for protection. After confirming that they couldn't enter the Ice Emperor Palace, the human race, demon race, and ice race in the Ten Cold Ancient Land went crazy one after another.
If it was just this, it wouldn't alarm the Yan Clan and Fang Yun. However, an ice race's Frost King seemed to think that his descendants wouldn't be able to obtain the position of Frost King again. His future position couldn't be guaranteed, so he actually went crazy. He wanted to unify the Ten Cold Ancient Land before the birth and death of the ancient land and slaughter all the geniuses. This way, no one would compete with his descendants for the position of Frost King.
Afterwards, two Blood Demon Barbarian Frost Kings joined forces and launched a crusade against a Star Demon Barbarian Frost King.
Slaughter and snow filled the Ten Cold Ancient Land.
Fang Yun's heart was a little heavy. The Ten Cold Ancient Land was about to collapse and there was no order at all. Entering there now would be a huge risk.
"However, there is a kind of power there that is attracting me. It's either the power of the Dragons or the Ancient Demons. It might even be the power of the Emperor race. Regardless of which power it is, it won't harm me. I have a feeling that if I don't go there, I will definitely regret it. At my realm, if I really have such a feeling, I must go and find out. "
Fang Yun lowered his head and pondered for a long time. Suddenly, he looked up at the moon in the sky and returned to the study.
"Since I've decided, I'll make the final preparations."
Just when Fang Yun was at his busiest, a major case occurred in Xiang Zhou. A family of fourteen people in Zhengde County was killed.
Such a case was not considered a big deal during the chaotic war of the Ten Nations, but now that the relationship between the Ten Nations was getting better, the news shocked the world. Many scholars were discussing this matter.
The reason this case attracted the attention of the humans was because Zhengde County was King Ji's fiefdom.
Fang Yun was King Ji.
