"Exactly."
"When I saw the information, I couldn't believe it was true."
"But as it turns out, Lü Chunyang and Beigong Wudi are indeed astonishingly talented martial arts prodigies!"
Nangong Qingyue said with an amazed expression, "Most importantly, my Heavenly Patrol Division has not been able to find any information about them."
It was as if the two of them had sprung from a crack in a rock.
"Have your Sky Patrol Division personnel invite them over."
"I want to see them."
Li Jing said with a smile on his face.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will pass on the order immediately."
Nangong Qingyue said with utmost respect.
"Remember, we must not neglect them."
"From now on, anyone whose cultivation level has reached the Nascent Soul stage and who wants to join our Primordial Dynasty, whether they register for the written test or the martial test, will be eligible."
"No one needs to go through the imperial examination."
"After reviewing their individual abilities and finding no problems, the list will be submitted to me."
"I will arrange for them to enter the army or the court."
Li Jing pondered for a moment, then instructed Nangong Qingyue: "Besides, if someone with extraordinary talent appears, they can also enter the court directly without taking the imperial examination."
This is the first imperial examination in our Taichu Dynasty, a time when we desperately need talented people. Exceptional talents will receive special consideration.
This is not outside the Burial Ground of Immortals, but within it. The Nascent Soul Realm is nothing special outside the Burial Ground of Immortals.
However, in the Burial Ground of Immortals, those at the Nascent Soul stage are already considered true masters.
After all, even the elders of the nine holy lands are only at the Nascent Soul stage.
Moreover, those who can cultivate to the Nascent Soul Realm in the Burial Grounds can be considered true geniuses.
It's just that the limitations of the burial ground for immortals have lowered their potential.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Nangong Qingyue said with a respectful expression.
Li Jing nodded slightly, remaining silent.
A moment later, Nangong Qingyue respectfully said to Li Jing, "Your Majesty, Lü Chunyang and Beigong Wudi have arrived."
"Bring them in."
Li Jing said calmly.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will obey your command."
Nangong Qingyue responded and walked out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Soon, Nangong Qingyue entered with the handsome and dashing Lü Chunyang, who exuded an air of otherworldly elegance, and the tall and imposing Beigong Wudi, who wore coarse clothes and carried a hint of domineering presence.
"The Taoist priest Lü Chunyang from the mountains pays his respects to Your Majesty."
"The woodcutter Beigong Wudi from the mountains pays his respects to Your Majesty."
Lu Chunyang and Beigong Wudi bowed solemnly to Li Jing.
"No need for such formalities."
Li Jing waved his hand and spoke to Lü Chunyang and Beigong Wudi.
From the moment he saw the two of them, he knew why Lü Chunyang and Beigong Wudi's cultivation speed was so fast.
If these two aren't fast cultivators, then there's no one in the world who can cultivate fast!
Even in this land of immortal burial, the restrictions of heaven and earth probably cannot restrain Lü Chunyang and Beigong Wudi.
One is the innate Dao body, and the other is the Xuanhuang Hegemon body.
Tsk tsk, these two, once they leave the Burial Ground of Immortals, are absolutely capable of becoming top geniuses outside of the Burial Ground of Immortals based solely on their talent and aptitude. It wouldn't be impossible for them to become immortals and attain enlightenment.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Lu Chunyang and Beigong Wudi expressed their gratitude.
“Lu Chunyang, you and Beigong Wudi no longer need to participate in the imperial examinations of my Taichu Dynasty.”
"Since you are a Taoist priest, you shall enter the Imperial Observatory of my Taichu Dynasty and serve as its director."
Li Jing pondered for a moment, then looked at Lü Chunyang and said.
"Your humble servant thanks Your Majesty for your great kindness."
Lü Chunyang thanked Li Jing.
Li Jing nodded slightly, looked at Bei Gong Wudi, and said, "Bei Gong Wudi, you will serve as the Grand General of the Imperial Guard of my Taichu Dynasty, and command the Imperial Guard for me. Are you willing?"
"This humble general is willing, and thanks Your Majesty for your great kindness."
Bei Gong Wudi knelt down before Li Jing and spoke in a firm and powerful voice.
"Zhao Li, take Lü Chunyang and Beigong Wudi to the Taichu Treasure Vault to select martial arts techniques."
"After selecting the martial arts, take them to the Imperial Observatory and find General Zhang Zhentian of the Imperial Guard so that he can hand them over to Beigong Wudi."
"Zhang Zhentian went to the Ministry of War to serve as the Right Vice Minister of War."
Li Jing spoke in a deep and powerful voice.
"Yes, this old servant obeys."
Zhao Li responded and left with Lü Chunyang and Beigong Wudi.
"Alright, Nangong Qingyue, if there's nothing else, you may leave now."
Li Jing picked up a memorial and lowered his head to speak.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I shall take my leave."
Nangong Qingyue bowed and prepared to leave.
However!
Right at that moment!
A eunuch entered, knelt before Li Jing, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Demon Sect, Tantai Qiuwu, is at the Meridian Gate and wishes to see you!"
"Tantai Qiuwu?"
Li Jing raised an eyebrow and said, "Xuan Tantai Qiuwu requests an audience!"
He had already guessed why Tantai Qiuwu had come to see him; she must have learned that the three holy lands had suffered heavy casualties at the hands of the Taichu Dynasty last night.
It's unclear whether Tantai Qiuwu came on behalf of the entire Heavenly Demon Clan or just herself.
"yes."
Upon hearing Li Jing's words, the eunuch quickly left.
"Nangong Qingyue, you may stay here for now."
Li Jing spoke to Nangong Qingyue, who had already reached the entrance of the Qianqing Palace.
"Yes, Your Majesty understands."
Nangong Qingyue nodded slightly and returned to her original position.
Less than half a day later.
Led by an attendant, the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Demon Sect, Tantai Qiuwu, entered the Qianqing Palace.
"Your Majesty, the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Demon Sect, Tantai Qiuwu, has arrived."
The eunuch bowed to Li Jing and then stepped aside.
Li Jing nodded and looked at Tantai Qiuwu. He had to admit that Tantai Qiuwu was indeed a beauty that could topple kingdoms and shame the moon and flowers.
In terms of temperament and appearance, she surpasses even the fake Empress Murong Qing.
However, Nangong Qingyue's appearance and temperament are no less than Tantai Qiuwu's; the two are each quite remarkable.
Of course, what surprised Li Jing the most was not her appearance, nor that Tantai Qiuwu had reached the peak of the ninth level of the Cave Heaven Realm, only one step away from the Dharma Aspect Realm.
It's her constitution!
Innate Demonic Body!
Li Jing never expected that after just seeing Lü Chunyang, who possessed the Innate Dao Body, and Beigong Wudi, who possessed the Xuanhuang Overlord Body, he would now see Tantai Qiuwu, who possessed the Innate Demon Body.
Has congenital constitution suddenly become so common?
"This humble woman, Tantai Qiuwu, greets Your Majesty."
Tantai Qiuwu bowed gracefully to Li Jing and said.
"No need for such formalities."
Li Jing said calmly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Tantai Qiuwu expressed her gratitude.
"Tantai Qiuwu, tell me your purpose."
Li Jing gave Tantai Qiuwu a deep look and said.
