Many legalists actually didn't agree with some of Fang Yun's views, but they respected Fang Yun for pointing out a direction for legalism. Even if Fang Yun was proven to be wrong in the future, they wouldn't stop him now.
Some legalists were still sitting with calm expressions.
No one criticized them, including Fang Yun's most fervent supporters.
Because it was their freedom to not support Fang Yun. Furthermore, they didn't stop Fang Yun or become obstacles to legalism's progress. They just insisted on being themselves.
Many people respected them as well because everyone knew what these seated legalists would face once the Divine Dao Scripture Conference ended.
Gao Mo raised his head slightly and said with unconcealable pride, "The Divine Dao Gathering has ended!"
As soon as Gao Mo said that, the entire place shook heavily.
Every standing member of the Lega family emitted an orange aura of talent. The aura shot into the sky like a fountain, forming rays of orange light.
In the end, all the orange fountains intertwined. From afar, the entire capital was surrounded by the Talent Qi fountain. The huge Talent Qi fountain rushed out of Saint Origin Continent and into the depths of the universe.
Different from normal Talent Qi, this huge Talent Qi fountain rippled with vast and terrifying Saintly Dao aura.
This was the legendary Saintly Dao Orange Spring.
All the scholars looked at the Saintly Dao Orange Spring with joy. Once the Saintly Dao Orange Spring was formed, it meant that the Divine Dao Gathering was a success. At least, the positive results outweighed the negative ones.
Everyone looked at the sky expectantly.
After that, the capital shook again. The Saintly Dao Orange Spring flowed backward and poured back into the bodies of all the legalists.
The legalists spat out pure Talent Qi, but what poured back into their bodies was Talent Qi that contained Saintly Dao!
At that moment, a book flew out of the Temple of All Saints. At first glance, the book looked very thin, as if it only had a hundred or so pages. However, upon closer inspection, one would discover that every page seemed to contain countless worlds, and in every world, there was a scholar diligently reading.
The Imperial Examination Annals.
It recorded the names of all the scholars, from the Scholars to the Saints.
The Imperial Examination Records, which gave off a faint saintly aura, hovered above the capital. Then, like the wind flipping through a book, the pages moved gently, releasing a rain-like brilliance that landed on some of the Legalist scholars.
One after another, streams of talent descended from the heavens. It was no different from the Notre-Dame's Talent Bestowment after passing the imperial examinations.
Tens of thousands of Legalism scholars were promoted on the spot.
They were overjoyed. Although they had guessed this possibility before they came, they still felt like they were in a dream when such a thing happened to them.
The rest of the scholars looked envious, but they did not object. These people already had the ability to advance. They only needed a few years of training. Now that they had the countercurrent of the Holy Path Orange Spring, they would be even stronger than they would be in a few years.
However, those who were promoted were in the minority. The others no longer paid attention to the promotion of these people and continued to look at the end of the Holy Path Orange Spring.
After the eruption of the Holy Path Orange Spring, it looked like a countercurrent, but it was actually pulling.
Draw on the Sacred Artifact.
As the Holy Path Orange Spring kept flowing backward, the end got closer and closer. Finally, everyone realized that there was a huge object at the end of the Holy Path Orange Spring.
It was like a dark cloud and was even bigger than the entire capital.
Everyone looked carefully. It was a beast that looked like a qilin. It was covered in black fur and its eyes were like full moons. It had a single horn on its head.
This huge beast looked majestic. One of its eyes was merciful, while the other was furious. Its gaze pierced through people's hearts.
Xiezhi!
It was also known as a spiritual beast.
Legend had it that this auspicious beast could differentiate between right and wrong, good and evil, and decide between loyalty and treachery. If it encountered a treacherous person, it would kill them with its horn and devour them.
Back in the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period, Legalism officials had been wearing crowns made from spiritual beasts.
Even now, there were spiritual beasts like this everywhere in the human race's offices related to law. For example, the Imperial Censorate and other government offices of various countries did not use lions. Instead, they used spiritual beasts to guard them.
Legalism officials also wore spiritual crowns to this day.
Countless Legalism people were overjoyed. This was definitely one of the strongest Legalism divine weapons that the Saint Dao Conference could attract. It might even be the strongest divine weapon in the history of Legalism.
The huge spiritual beast shrank as it descended. In the end, it turned into a spiritual beast-shaped crown.
"Holy Path Crown!"
Many Legalism people cried out in joy. This was far beyond their imagination.
In the end, the Holy Path Crown landed on the high platform, hovering before the many Confucians.
The scene suddenly quieted down.
Although the Holy Path Crown would eventually be placed in the Punishment Hall, who would wear it back to the Notre-Dame?
Every Confucian wanted to wear it for themselves because it would greatly benefit their Divine Path.
However, the spiritual beast Xiezhi was a divine beast that would not tolerate anything. If they forced themselves to wear it, they would definitely suffer a backlash.
Everyone's gaze fell upon Fang Yun.
Gao Mo smiled. "Fang Xusheng, please wear the spiritual crown to complete this item."
Fang Yun scanned the Legalism scholars and all the Legalism scholars.
No one objected.
Fang Yun nodded. He walked forward and took off the original silver hairpin, replacing it with a spiritual crown.
The moment the spiritual crown was placed on him, a black spiritual beast the size of a lion or tiger appeared above Fang Yun. The spiritual beast's eyes shone with dazzling white light as it scanned the world.
Afterward, the spiritual beast let out a deafening roar and turned into black light, returning to the spiritual crown.
Fang Yun's entire body was bathed in green divine light. It was as if he had formed a world of his own. It was also as if he was in the depths of the endless starry sky, separated from everyone else.
Fang Yun's eyes were completely white. His entire body became empty.
The Legalism people looked at Fang Yun enviously. This was because Fang Yun was currently learning the Legalism Saintly Way. If nothing went wrong, from now on, Fang Yun would be qualified to use all the Legalism power that only Legalism scholars could use.
After all, Fang Yun was the one who wore the Holy Path Crown.
Just as everyone was envious of Fang Yun, something strange happened.
All the Legalism people who stood up actually emitted orange Talent Qi again, forming a fountain of Talent Qi and the Holy Path Orange Spring again.
All the scholars were stunned. A second Holy Path Orange Spring had never happened before!
Yan Yukong said in shock, "It seems that the descent of Xie Zhi and the Holy Path Crown must be the work of the Constitution. This second Holy Path Orange Spring is very likely caused by the Perfect Law! This means that the Perfect Law is indeed a part of the Heavenly Way. Fang Yun has found the right direction! "
The Legalism scholars were ecstatic.
The Imperial Examination Records that had already flown back to the Notre-Dame actually flew back again. The scholars who saw this even realized that the Imperial Examination Records seemed a little reluctant this time.
After all, this kind of promotion bypassed the Imperial Examination.
Gyeongo, Old Peach Residence.
Two identical people were playing chess. One of them actually slowly placed a piece.
"The outcome is not decided yet."
Jingguo, on the pier of the Jingjiang Grand Canal outside the capital, Mount Liu and a group of miscellaneous scholars looked up at the sky.
A few others looked while rubbing their sore necks.
"Lord Liu, the capital seems … strange."
