Fantasy: Prince Peerless, Conquer the Heavens!

Chapter 40 Imperial Examination Begins

Heavenly Fire Domain!

Located in the northwest of the Great Qin Empire, its area is similar to that of the Eastern Ancient Territory, but its strength is much greater. The root cause is that the Holy Fire Cult unified the Sky Fire Territory 30,000 years ago.

"According to intelligence, the Great Qin Empire in the southeast has unified the Eastern Ancient Region and has greatly increased its strength! Its prince, Qin Wudao, has a special physique. He has completed the eighth revolution of Nirvana and has the appearance of becoming an emperor! Bishops, do you have any good ideas?"

Holy Fire Pope Duan Wanjiang is sitting on the throne, wearing a red robe, his skin and hair are all fiery red, especially his eyes are blazing with flames.

An aura was like fire coming from heaven, filling the entire hall.

Below him, the Holy Son Duan Yonghui stands, shrouded in black flames, exuding a heart-stopping aura. If you look at each other for a long time, you will feel that your soul will be swallowed.

Further back, ten bishops stood, wearing robes of different colors, with cold expressions and powerful auras.

"Pope, in the opinion of my subordinates, the Great Qin Empire has just unified the Eastern Ancient Region and is internally unstable. This is a rare opportunity for us!"

Cardinal Yan Jiannan walked out of the queue, slightly arching his hands, showing a hint of fighting spirit.

He is a hawk through and through, and has always advocated external expansion. However, surrounding the Skyfire Domain and to the north is the Wuchang Mansion, which is guarded by powerful saints, and they dare not invade.

To the west are the Onizuka ruins. The environment is harsh and unsuitable for survival and cannot be invaded.

To the east is the Wuling Domain, which is similar in strength to the Skyfire Domain, but has many allies and cannot be invaded.

Only the ancient region in the southeast is weak and can be invaded, but the Great Qin Empire is a tough one, and they have not been able to take advantage in several battles.

"The eighth-turn nirvana of the prince of the Great Qin Empire is a huge threat. For the safety of the Holy Fire Sect, he must be eliminated!"

Bishop Jiang Tiansheng said.

"Teacher, I second the proposal!"

The remaining eight bishops came out at the same time, all with a fighting attitude.

"Since everyone supports going to war, let's fight!"

Duan Wanjiang was also an ambitious man. When he saw everyone supporting the war, he burst into terror: "Send the order to launch a holy war!"

Holy war!

This is the highest-level military operation of the Holy Fire Cult. The ten sacred legions are all in preparation for war. They can all go into battle with just one order.

"Fight, fight, fight!"

"This time, I will defeat Bai Qi and bloodbath the Qin Empire!"

Yan Jiannan shouted sternly, his eyes were blood red, and he burst out with strong murderous intent. The opportunity for revenge finally came.

Thirty years ago, he led the red-coated army to invade the Qin Empire. In just three months, one million people were killed and more than three million people were trapped and killed, which became a lifelong shame.

Shame must be washed away with blood.

He has already thought about it. After defeating the Qin Empire, he will massacre hundreds of cities, kill tens of millions of Qin people, and then turn Bai Qilingchi, his wife, children, and children into slaves.

"Pope, I want to accompany you to the battle!"

At this time, a gentle voice echoed in the hall.

Duan Yonghui walked slowly to the center of the hall. With every step he took, a black flame would appear under his feet, burning the void and creating a terrifying phenomenon.

"Do you want to challenge Qin Wudao?"

Duan Wanjiang looked over and asked calmly.

"That's right, Qin Wudao is the number one genius in the Eastern Ancient Region, and he should have a lot of luck!"

Duan Yonghui licked his blackened lips. A few days ago, he killed a genius from the Hidden Dragon List in the Heavenly Fire Domain. After devouring the opponent's luck, he found that his cultivation speed had become a little faster.

Because of this, he eagerly wanted to kill more geniuses on the Hidden Dragon List.

"this"

Duan Wanjiang was a little hesitant. He didn't want Duan Yonghui to go deep into the front line. It would be too dangerous for the two realms to fight.

Duan Yonghui is the hope of the Holy Fire Sect. He possesses the 96th ranked 'Dark Demonic Body' and has completed the eighth revolution of Nirvana. His current strength is in the middle stage of Nirvana. He is not afraid of Qin Wudao, but there are many strong men in the Qin Empire.

What if something happens...

"Pope, I can order the Tianjiao War to Da Qin, so there will be no danger!"

Duan Yonghui said again, determined to go to the Great Qin Empire.

"All right!"

After pondering for a while, Duan Wanjiang agreed and said to the ten bishops: "This battle will be personally commanded by the emperor. Before the battle, the emperor will wake up the ancestors!"

"As you command!"

Except for Yan Jiannan who was a little disappointed, the other bishops had no objections.

…

The Great Qin Empire did not know about the invasion of the Holy Fire Cult and was preparing for the imperial examination system. Because it was the first time to try it, this examination only held the rural examination, skipping the county examination and county examination, and went directly to the palace examination.

A week later, candidates who passed the provincial examination gathered in the imperial capital from all directions, carrying dry food and travel expenses.

For a time, this imperial capital, named after its bravery, had a touch of tenderness as a scholar.

The fifteen days passed slowly.

On this day, 5,000 desks were placed in the palace square, displaying the Four Treasures of the Study, and 5,000 candidates sat quietly, waiting for the exam to begin.

On the other side, ten sand tables were built, and hundreds of candidates stood beside each sand table, bright and energetic.

Emperor Qin led hundreds of officials and stood in front of the steps of the imperial palace. They looked down at the candidates in the square and nodded with satisfaction. These young men are the future of the Qin Empire.

The total number of civil and military candidates is 10,000!

There are 10,000 of them, the literati and warriors who passed the provincial examination among millions of candidates!

Everyone is a talented person!

"Let's get started!"

Emperor Qin looked at the time and ordered.

"As you command!"

Li Si and Bai Qi came out.

Afterwards, Li Si walked towards the five thousand literary candidates, and Bai Qi walked towards the five thousand martial arts candidates.

The atmosphere in the square instantly became tense.

"His Majesty will personally set the questions for the Imperial Examination. Candidates must complete their answers within two hours. The test papers will be distributed now!"

Bai Qi stood in front of the candidates, waved his right hand, and five thousand test papers appeared, as if they had eyes, and they landed on the table with precision. Each test paper was written with dense words.

"The exam begins!"

Following Bai Qi's order, the candidates began to answer the questions with a rigorous attitude and did not dare to be careless. The results of this exam will determine their fate.

Those with outstanding achievements will spread their wings to fly to heaven and earth, and become famous all over the world in one fell swoop!

Those who fail to pass the test will lose their reputation and can only prepare for next year's scientific examination with regret!

On the other side, Bai Qi mobilized ten generals, suspended them on the sand table, acted as a referee, and said to the candidates: "For the palace examination question, each of you will lead an army and fight the enemy army, and the results will be calculated based on the number of kills!"

boom!

After introducing the rules, the ten generals started the formation, and the ten sand tables seemed to be alive, revealing their murderous intent.

"Kill! I will kill you!"

"Kill! Pass this general's order to kill an enemy and get a reward of ten taels!"

"Kill! Jiujiu and Lao Qin, we will fight against the national calamity together..."

The murderous sounds echoed in the candidates' ears, shocking their hearts. Those who were not determined will faint on the spot.

The remaining candidates also had pale faces. After calming down, they began to deduce the sand table.

Time passed minute by minute, and an hour later, at the gate of the palace, several men in black robes flew past, walked up to Emperor Qin, and whispered a few words.

His voice was so low that only Emperor Qin could hear him, and no one else could hear him.

"Something big happened!"

After the man in black robe finished reporting, Emperor Qin's face became extremely ugly. He looked to the northwest and said through a voice message from his soul: "The examiner will supervise the examination, and the rest of the people will discuss matters in the hall..."
