This is definitely not an illusion. With the ability of Jiu Tian Dao Zun, he can be sure of this. Someone must have used a special method to spy on their Jiu Tian world just now. Even they didn't even notice it. It can be seen that it is not simple. The one who took action is definitely the top existence in the eternal world. "Who is it?"
"Taishang, Shangqing or Yuqing."
"The Western Guide is still the top power among all the other races in the heavens."
Thoughts flashed quickly through Cang Tian Dao Zun's mind, but his expression was not good. No matter what the reason was, they were being spied on, and it was clear that they had no respect for their dignity. It was really too presumptuous and arrogant.
However, no matter how angry he was, he couldn't lose his temper at this moment.
He knew very well that in the Eternal World today, they, the Nine Heavens Dao Master, had been listed as a target of suspicion. At this time, any action they took could be considered as the Eternal Night Demon. There were more powerful people in the Eternal World than they had imagined. Although they were the Nine Heavens Dao Masters, with a noble status, they could never withstand the pressure from those powerful people of the same level. No matter what, they had to endure the humiliation that they should endure.
"Who among us is the devil? I am not, that is for sure, but no one else can be ruled out as a suspect."
Daozun Cangtian looked solemn and pondered secretly.
He knew whether it was the Eternal Night Demon, but he could not confirm who the demon was. The others were hiding too well. Such a thorn was buried among them, and they could not tolerate it no matter what, and it had to be removed.
Otherwise, the consequences would be too serious.
"I want to see who is the devil. Let's see if the previous attempt to alert the enemy will work."
Dao Zun Cang Tian closed his eyes and remained silent, waiting quietly.
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ..
Before I knew it, it was November 14th of the 51st year of the Eternal Calendar.
The imperial examination will be held on November 15th, which is tomorrow.
Before the imperial examination, one can see large numbers of candidates and students gathering from one fairy city after another.
Many students from various universities, especially the Immortal Academy, are eager to show off their skills and apply what they have learned. The various skills in the Immortal Academy can be applied to life and even to the governance of people's livelihood. Among them, students born in Confucianism, Legalism, Taoism, etc. have unique insights on the governance of people's livelihood. If they can come to participate in the imperial examination, they have a certain degree of confidence. They can be included in the list.
In the central square of Xuanhuang Immortal City, the light of the teleportation array never stopped shining.
A steady stream of students and candidates stepped out of the teleportation array, and after entering Xuanhuang City, they all looked around curiously.
"This is our Great Yi Holy City. Although I have been here once before, that time I went to the Sutra Library to choose a practice method. I did not take a good look at it before returning to my residence. This time, I finally have the opportunity to take a good look at our Great Yi Holy City."
"It's really huge. Only when you stand here can you realize how insignificant you are. This is the core of the entire Great Yi Holy Court. This time, I must pass the imperial examination and become famous. Only by stepping into the officialdom of Great Yi can I truly step onto the big stage and have the opportunity to display my ambitions. After decades of hard study, I can only focus on today."
... ... ... ... ...
Although the students were shocked by the vastness and grandeur of Xuanhuang Holy City, they secretly made up their minds to stand out in the imperial examination and not return empty-handed.
"As long as the examinees can verify their identity, they can enter the Imperial Examination Hall, and accommodation and food are all free. Everything will be arranged by the Holy Court, and all the examinees just need to prepare for the exam. Now, you can take the cloud ladder to the Cloud Realm where the Imperial Examination Hall is located, visit the Imperial Examination Hall, and prepare for the exam."
In the city, a constable said to the students who came to the surrounding area to take the exam.
These things were already known to everyone in Xuanhuang Holy City. Announcements had also been published on the Star Network. As long as one paid attention, anyone would know that the process of the imperial examination had already been heard in detail.
Although they are very interested in the Xuanhuang Holy City, everything is focused on the imperial examination now. No one wants to be distracted by it and affect the results of their own imperial examination. That would be too bad.
"The imperial examination is full of students. This is truly a flourishing age for humanity. I wonder how many great talents will emerge from the examination. It is truly enviable. When I return to the Qin Dynasty, Fusu will advise my father to hold an imperial examination and recruit talented people from all over the world. No pearl will be left behind."
In a nearby restaurant, several young men were seen sitting together, drinking and watching the endless stream of students from all over the country entering the Holy City. The one who sighed was none other than the Great Qin Crown Prince Fusu.
The people standing next to them were none other than Yi Ziyang and Yi Xianhuang.
Originally Fusu was studying in the Immortal Academy. When he heard that Dayi was holding an imperial examination, he came out to take a look. Yi Xianhuang and Yi Ziyang were also there to keep him company. During this time, they had become familiar with each other.
"The imperial examination does have the benefit of recruiting talents from all over the world, but the truly top-notch talents are ultimately few and far between. This time, we don't know how many city lord-level talents can be selected. These are the backbone. In this world, talent is still the most important thing."
Yi Ziyang said with a smile.
Dayi needs more city lord-level talents. Being able to manage a city is the most important thing for Dayi. This time, Dayi implemented a new training method. In the Star Network, all people in the world are eligible to try to run their own cities in the virtual world. Now is the time to test the results.
Whether you can reap the rewards depends on this time.
If the results are astonishing, this method will be widely promoted.
"I heard that Brother Ziyang is also going to participate in this imperial examination. I wonder if that's true."
Fusu asked curiously.
He heard a rumor from the Immortal Academy that the Dayi royal family would also participate in the imperial examination.
"Yes, not only will I participate, my five sisters and my seventh brother will also participate. This is an order passed down by father himself. It can be regarded as a test for us. However, our results will not be included in the overall ranking of this imperial examination, but will be calculated separately."
Yi Ziyang nodded and said in a deep voice.
This news came out recently, and it was very sudden. However, Yi Ziyang and his men were very interested in it. They were not uneducated playboys, but elites who had truly experienced the test of the battlefield. This time, during the imperial examination, they could see what position they could occupy among the students in the world and see if they had the talent to govern the world.
If not, then naturally, don't say anything, just practice with peace of mind and choose to do what you are interested in.
Otherwise, you can just eat and wait for death.
This is a platform to test your own abilities.
"In the Great Yi, women can also become officials and take part in the imperial examinations?"
Fusu saw many women walking among the students.
"Of course, women can even serve in the army, and it is not uncommon for them to be in charge of an army. As long as women have enough talent and are as good as men, naturally, we in Dayi can give them corresponding status and even a stage to display their talents. Now in Dayi, there are quite a few women in charge of a city. Sometimes, women can even do better than many men in governing a city with the delicacy that women have."
Yi Xianhuang said calmly.
It is not the first time that women have served as officials.
"According to reliable information, there are many extraordinary women coming to participate in the imperial examination this time, such as Xie Daoyun, Ban Zhao, Su Xiaomei, Feng Suzhen, Su Xiaoxiao, and Liu Rushi. They have all signed up for the imperial examination. It is said that their talents are not inferior to those of some talented men. Their insights are very high. It is possible that they will stand out in this imperial examination. If a female champion emerges this time, I am afraid that many men in Dayi will be speechless and eclipsed. That will be a good show to watch."
Yi Ziyang also said with a smile.
Of course, they know all these things. Many news can be hidden from others, but not from them. It is easy to know what you want to know, but don't be too relaxed. There are many talented people among this group of female candidates. If the men in the world don't perform well, they will lose face.
He was quite interested in this.
"By the way, Fusu, do you want to take part in the imperial examination and experience the imperial examination of Dayi? Watching it here is not as profound as experiencing it in person."
Yi Xianhuang said with a chuckle.
He looked at Fusu with interest.
"Is this okay? I'm not a citizen of Dayi."
Fusu showed a look of surprise. If it was really possible, it would be a rare experience.
"What's wrong with that? It's just for experience, so just come with us. Anyway, our assessment will not be included in the overall ranking of the imperial examination. There is no need to worry about disrupting the imperial examination. It's a good opportunity to see how good you are."
Yi Ziyang also nodded in agreement.
"Thank you very much, Brother Ziyang."
Fusu agreed with a smile.
The second day.
November 15th.
The gate of the Imperial Examination Hall opened.
A large number of students entered the Imperial Examination Hall. Once they entered, they were naturally transported to the corresponding dormitory. They did not need to look for it themselves because the location had already been assigned. This saved a lot of time. In the dormitory, all the necessary items had already been prepared.
There are pens, ink, paper, inkstone, as well as food and drinks.
These are all provided by Dayi free of charge, eliminating all worries.
There are ten subjects in the imperial examination: liberal arts, education, agriculture, justice, commerce, military affairs, construction, medicine, civil service, and people's livelihood.
The first subject is the literary test. You don't need to write the Four Books and Five Classics. You don't need to write poems or songs. You only need to write one thing, which is to write a policy paper.
This tests one's overall perspective and one's own philosophy of governing the world.
The process of entering the venue was very quick. There was no body search. In the Imperial Examination Hall, there was no room for fraud or favoritism. Everything was monitored by the Star Network.
Upstairs in Qingyun Tower.
This time, the examiner Bao Zheng opened the scroll.
