"This humble general thanks Your Majesty for your divine grace!"

Zhao Lingjun knelt down before Li Jing, and said with tears of gratitude.

Boom!

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhao Lingjun felt the connection between herself and the Investiture of the Gods of the Primordial Dynasty. After entering the Investiture of the Gods, she received the power of the Primordial Dynasty's fortune, which enabled her cultivation level to break through from the peak of the Aperture Opening Realm to the peak of the ninth level of the Golden Core Realm.

Zhao Lingjun was overjoyed; she was now only one step away from the Nascent Soul Realm.

In fact, Zhao Lingjun's cultivation level was able to make such great progress under the blessing of the Primordial Dynasty's fortune mainly because her cultivation level was too low. Therefore, with the help of the fortune, she was able to make rapid progress in an instant.

After all, she had already reached the fourth rank in the Taichu Dynasty and was the commander of the Yaoguang Legion, which had a force of 500,000 men. There were few people in the entire Taichu Dynasty with a higher rank than her.

This is also the reason why Ying Qingyue was able to reach the Divine Transformation Realm in one day. Ying Qingyue herself has extraordinary comprehension and the talent of a saint. She has also cultivated the most top-level peerless martial art, the Saint Forging Method. She is also the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel of the Taichu Dynasty, a third-rank official. Only the combination of these three factors can make Ying Qingyue reach the terrifying level of the Divine Transformation Realm in one day.

No need for formalities.

Li Jing said calmly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhao Lingjun expressed his gratitude.

"Dongfang Ming, the Ministry of War must equip the Yao Guang Legion with 500,000 troops and the necessary military equipment as quickly as possible."

Li Jing looked at Dongfang Ming, the Minister of War, and said to him in a deep voice.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I obey!"

Dongfang Ming said with a respectful expression.

"Bai Yujing is appointed as Zhenwei Zhonglang General of the Fourth Rank, Luo Shenxiao is appointed as Jianyi Zhonglang General of the Fourth Rank, Zuoqiu Wuhen is appointed as Yingyang General of the Fifth Rank, Ning Wuque is appointed as Zhechong General of the Fifth Rank, Liu Feixue is appointed as Hulie General of the Fifth Rank, Qingyang Kong is appointed as Xuanwei General of the Fifth Rank, Zhang Wuyou is appointed as Weiyuan General of the Fifth Rank, Shen Ruyun is appointed as Ningyuan General of the Fifth Rank, and Lian Chengyu is appointed as Fubo General of the Fifth Rank."

Li Jing nodded slightly, looked at Bai Yujing and the others, and said firmly.

"This humble general thanks Your Majesty for your great kindness!"

Bai Yujing and the others expressed their gratitude to Li Jing.

In an instant, Bai Yujing and the others entered the Investiture of the Gods in the Taichu Dynasty.

Only after entering the Investiture of the Gods of the Primordial Dynasty did they truly understand the extent of the help that the Primordial Dynasty's power of destiny had provided them.

Unlike Zhao Lingjun, all nine people in Baiyujing were at the Nascent Soul Realm, with not a single Golden Core Realm cultivator among them.

Therefore, their cultivation level did not improve as rapidly as Zhao Lingjun's.

However, after receiving the power of the Primordial Dynasty's fortune, they all felt that their cultivation speed and comprehension had greatly improved. As long as they started to go into seclusion, they were able to break through one or even two minor realms.

Thousands of candidates looked at Bai Yujing and the others with envy. Bai Yujing was the second-place candidate and Luo Shenxiao was the third-place candidate, so they directly became fourth-rank generals.

Even the other seven people in the top ten are all generals of the fifth rank.

"Bai Yujing and Luo Shenxiao have joined the Yaoguang Legion and will serve as its two deputy legion commanders, assisting the legion commander Zhao Lingjun."

"Zuoqiu Wuhen joined the Tianquan Legion and served as the deputy legion commander, assisting the legion commander Zhou Li."

"Ning Wuque joined the Kaiyang Legion and served as its deputy commander, assisting Commander Huangfu Yunhai."

"Liu Feixue joined the Yuheng Legion and served as its deputy commander, assisting the commander, Gongsun Wangshu."

Li Jing pondered for a moment and said, "Qing Yangkong will join the Tian Shu Legion as the deputy legion commander, assisting the legion commander Guo Jingfei."

Zhang Wuyou joined the Tianxuan Legion and served as its deputy commander, assisting the legion commander, Dongfang Yao.

Shen Ruyun joined the Tianji Legion and served as its deputy commander, assisting the legion commander Chu Batian.

Lian Chengyu joined the Imperial Guard, serving as its deputy general, assisting the Imperial Guard's Grand General, Beigong Wudi.

"Your subordinate obeys!"

The nine people from Baiyujing spoke with utmost respect.

Their hearts were filled with excitement. They had originally thought they would join the Imperial Guard or become ordinary generals in the Seven Great Legions, but they never expected to become either deputy generals of the Imperial Guard or deputy commanders of the Seven Great Legions.

"As one of the top ten in this year's martial arts examination, Zhao Lingjun and the other three will be able to enter the Primordial Treasure Vault and choose a peerless martial art that can condense a celestial-grade golden elixir to cultivate!"

Li Jing said calmly.

Upon hearing Li Jing's words, Zhao Lingjun and the others exclaimed with great joy, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for bestowing this law!"

"I hereby declare the first imperial examination of my Taichu Dynasty officially concluded!"

"You will be ranked according to your scores later, and the results will be posted on the imperial edict."

"In addition, the papers of the top ten candidates in the civil service examination and the military examination will also be posted for everyone to see."

Li Jing looked at the thousands of candidates for the civil service and military examinations and said calmly, "After discussion, the Grand Secretary Yan Changqing, the Minister of Personnel Zhong Shenxiu, the Minister of War Dongfang Ming, and others will determine your ranks based on your performance in this civil service and military examination, and assign you to the Imperial Guard and the seven major legions of our Taichu Dynasty."

"Thank you for your great kindness, Your Majesty!"

Thousands of candidates for the imperial examinations and martial arts tests knelt down and shouted in unison.

Li Jing nodded slightly and walked out of the Imperial Guard camp.
