Zuo Chan shook his head and said, "I don't think this Junior Brother Lin will amount to anything! Only he would bother with such petty squabbles in a place like this! Tell me, which person from the Immortal Continent would want to waste their time in this wretched place! You and I have been cultivating here for two years, and our cultivation has barely improved! I really don't want to stay here for another second! I really want to go back to the Immortal Source Tower of the sect to cultivate! Let alone being an emperor in a place like this, I wouldn't even want to be the emperor's father!"
Zhong Kui laughed and said, "Senior Brother is truly farsighted. His ambitions are as vast as mountains and rivers! We fine men should aspire to travel far and wide! How can we waste our time in a place like this!"
Zuo Chan sighed, "I observed the stars last night! I'm afraid it will be another seven or eight years before we can return to the Immortal Continent! Let's go! Let's wander around here some more and see if there are any opportunities! And while we're at it, let's look for our other fellow disciples!"
The two walked away into the distance, their figures gradually disappearing from sight.
Inside the Temple of Light! The enlightened Emperor Lin Caogen is instructing his civil and military officials in the imperial court!
General Wu Changyu, the founding general, submitted a memorial stating: "Your Majesty! Now that the Ming Dynasty has been established, everything is in need of rebuilding! I propose that we launch the imperial examinations to select the stars of literature and martial prowess! We should select talented individuals from among the common people to consolidate the foundation of our Ming Dynasty!"
Wu Changyu's move will undoubtedly affect the interests of some conservatives! But Lin Caogen really liked what he said! Only by electing talented people from the people can we break the old phenomenon of class monopoly! Only then can the Ming Dynasty get back on track and operate sustainably.
"I grant your request! Begin preparations for the imperial examinations immediately! Wu Changyu will be in charge of the military examinations, and Fang Xiaoru will be in charge of the civil examinations! With both military and civil examinations, we can jointly revitalize the Ming Dynasty!"
In the imperial court, civil and military officials echoed each other, saying, "Let's advance both civil and military affairs! Let's work together to revitalize the Ming Dynasty!"
After the court session, Lin Caogen strolled leisurely in his imperial garden! It must be said, being emperor feels wonderful!
Inside the Peony Pavilion, a beautiful woman wearing a green veil stood beside the lotus pond! Her face was filled with worry, as if she were unhappy!
Lin Caogen rushed forward and launched a sneak attack! He grabbed the slender waist of the beautiful figure with both hands!
The beautiful woman said irritably, "Stop fooling around! What kind of behavior is this in public!"
Lin Caogen smiled and said, "Now that the world is at peace and there is no more war or strife, why is Senior Sister troubled?"
Mu Wanqing looked at the distant crimson glow and said, "I'm worried about you! Do you know that everything on this Fragmented Continent is nothing but an illusion! Like flowers in a mirror or the moon's reflection in water! Whether you're an emperor or a commoner here, it doesn't mean much! You should know that a Nascent Soul cultivator is enough to wipe out this entire world. Grassroot! You've been on this Fragmented Continent for two years! And your cultivation is still stuck at the peak of the 7th level of the Body Refinement stage! You should know that in the Wuwei Sect, you rose 5 levels in half a year!"
Lin Caogen nodded and said, "Senior Sister is absolutely right! Cultivating here is indeed very slow! Staying here for too long is a waste of time."
