Journey Through the Plane of the Lord God

When the eternal sun is born, the soft morning light of the rising sun spreads over the entire imperial city.

Lin Pingzhi and a group of candidates who had passed the official examination were escorted by dozens of brocade-clad guards with embroidered spring knives on their waists, accompanied by the low morning sound of "Buzz! Buzz!" coming from the imperial city.

The sound of bells followed several eunuchs into the Forbidden City, the core of the Ming Empire and the imperial residence of the emperor.

According to the normal procedure of the palace examination in this world, they did not immediately go directly to the real examination room of the palace examination - the "Fengtian Palace" used for the Ming Dynasty meeting. Instead, they followed the few young eunuchs and went to a side palace first.

There, several officials from the Ministry of Rites will first teach these new imperial examination candidates some court etiquette when meeting the emperor, and when the emperor may ask for advice and answer questions in person.

For most of the candidates in this world, the "Imperial Palace Examination" is their first, and possibly only, opportunity to meet the emperor in their lives.

According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty examinations in this time and space, after the candidates have written their strategies for the palace examination, the emperor may personally go out and ask the candidates he is optimistic about for advice, which is equivalent to the interview session after the written examination when companies recruit people in later generations.

Of course, if today's people are not those diligent leaders who founded the country, the chance of personally asking for advice is very low, but who knows if there will be exceptions?

Therefore, most of the candidates who had never had the opportunity to be exposed to these court etiquettes learned it very carefully.

The other small group, like Lin Pingzhi, who were taught these etiquette in advance because they had a knowledgeable and good teacher, sat quietly in the inner side of the hall, or closed their eyes to rest and regain their energy.

, or quietly discussing with each other policy issues that may arise in the imperial examination.

As mentioned before, in this round of imperial examinations, due to the power of the Eunuch Party, most of the candidates selected were scholars who were not from the Donglin faction. Therefore, the candidates from the Donglin faction were actually marginalized by most candidates.

As Lin Pingzhi, the successor of Donglin, who is famous all over the world, he passed this examination along with a few lucky ones. Juzi with Donglin background sat at the end of the side hall, looking extremely low-key.

Taking this opportunity, Lin Pingzhi closed his eyes and seemed to be recuperating like his companions beside him. In fact, he was letting go of his spiritual sense and carefully sensing the extraordinary power above the palace.

After passing the examination, he was already regarded as a reserve official of the Ming Dynasty. When he was awarded the title of Juren, he could only barely feel seven points of the national destiny, because Lin Pingzhi had now become a true member of the system. For the first time

More clearly, he revealed his destiny in front of him.

The first thing that caught Lin Ping's mind was a huge pillar of national destiny that stood over the Forbidden Imperial City and extended vertically towards the sky. Because the Ming Dynasty advocated the virtue of fire, this pillar was red in color and how high it was.

, majestic and majestic, reaching straight into the sky and spreading across the sky.

Immediately afterwards, there was a huge five-clawed dragon winding around the pillar of national destiny, symbolizing the destiny of the Ming Dynasty.

With Lin Pingzhi's current cultivation level and eyesight, he still cannot clearly see the full picture of the true dragon of destiny hovering on this pillar of national destiny. He can only generally look at the true dragon revealed in that section of the pillar of national destiny below the clouds.

The lower body of the dragon judged that deep in his memory, the dragon of the last national destiny of Daqing, which Hong Tiangui himself destroyed with his own hands, was not as long as the tail of the real dragon of the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty from beginning to end.

This true dragon of the Ming Dynasty surrounds and embraces the red pillar of national destiny. It is sacred and solemn, absorbing the faith of all people in the pillar of national destiny all the time and turning it into dragon energy.

Every dragon scale on its body pulls silk threads like spider webs toward the void. These threads are either transformed into aura of fortune and honor to bless the noble families of the Ming Dynasty, or they are transformed into institutional aura.

Granted to officials from various places within the Ming Dynasty.

According to the memory of the original Hong Tiangui, and the information unearthed from the secret treasury of the Daqing royal family in later generations, the dragon energy of the country and the power derived from it can almost suppress all extraordinary magical powers except the "Witch Gu Nightmare Suppression Technique", especially in

In the Forbidden City, where the dragon energy of the country is most concentrated, except for the peerless masters who have truly achieved earthly immortality and above, any immortal cultivator will be suppressed like a mortal.

Even in Qintian Prison, those "legal" monks with official status will suffer the backlash of a large amount of the power of the national destiny dragon energy every time they use magic to observe it, and they will pay a heavy price.

Unexpectedly, the overall power of the National Fortune Dragon Qi is far beyond the ordinary. Just like the saying in the Western supernatural world that "mortals cannot look directly at gods", it is not something that ordinary people or monks can detect.

Of course, only a powerful incarnation like Lin Pingzhi, relying on the extremely high core essence of his soul, can see the power of the dragon energy of the country without stimulating the dragon energy of the country.

But even so, after Lin Pingzhi observed for a quarter of an hour, he had to close his spiritual senses and, like the Juren of the Donglin faction around him, truly closed his eyes and rested his mind.

Lin Pingzhi's cultivation level is still too weak. Just observing a small part of the body of the national destiny dragon energy has already consumed a lot of energy on his part. However, even if he just swallowed the jujube without seeing the whole thing, Lin Pingzhi, who has the blessing of the system, has already

There was quite a harvest.

After the eunuchs are eliminated in the future, Emperor Chongzhen, who will reverse course and ruin the destiny of the Ming Dynasty, has not yet come to power. At present, the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty is still stable.

In addition, he finally understood why this inner-power knight in the Ming Dynasty had such a high status. For example, a third-rate warrior in Lin Zhennan could create a business as large as the Fuwei Escort Agency; a second-rate warrior outside Fuzhou City could

He has occupied the mountain trade routes for decades and has become a powerful force in the green forest.

The reason is actually very simple. This restraint of extraordinary spells can knock down immortal cultivators into mortals. In fact, it has no suppressive effect on warriors who practice internal force martial arts at all! In other words, before the innate realm of martial arts, the inner force can truly be transformed.

The inner strength warrior transformed into true energy, which is the spiritual power used by practitioners, is of almost no use.

The "Dragon Qi of National Destiny" can gather the trust and strength of the world and even semi-intelligently transform the official Qi of the corresponding value according to the class of the national system. This is obviously not a force born naturally. It is the founder of all dynasties and the history of each generation.

The Taizu emperors who left their names were created through some kind of large-scale extraordinary ceremony when the country was founded, through the communication of the Nine Cauldron Formation and the trust of the people when they founded the country.

Lin Pingzhi's system database actually also recorded this method, which was also searched from the secret treasury of the Daqing royal family in later generations. It is called "The King of Humans·Dragon Qi Secret Record".

According to the records inside, neither its original creator, Wang Dayu, nor the successors of subsequent dynasties took the "internal force" into consideration when setting up the extraordinary power to suppress the power of this "national destiny dragon energy".

This new power that was born in the age of the end of law is like an "anti-virus software" whose database does not have the data code to detect and kill the "internal force" virus, and has no ability to detect and kill "inner energy" at all.

If it were before the Age of Ending Dharma, and extraordinary sects were revealed to the world, the emperor, as the secular controller of China, would naturally have a way to ask the powerful people in these sects to add an "internal force" anti-virus program to the database of "National Luck Dragon Qi". After all,

Maintaining the extraordinary and secular order is the common responsibility of those who stand at the top of the planet and have vested interests.

However, after the end of the Dharma Age, all the immortals and great masters stayed away from the mortal world. The worldly emperor of heaven and the official monks with low cultivation levels simply had no ability to modify the suppression "database" of the "dragon energy of the country". Only then did the inner strength warriors act unscrupulously.

Run rampant in the world.

In the most chaotic era, heroes and demons emerge one after another.

They ignored the law, acted chivalrously, upheld justice for heaven, robbed the rich and gave to the poor, and even killed corrupt officials wantonly. These lawless behaviors were the normal life of the rebellious chivalrous knights of that era.

It was not until the birth of the major martial arts sects and the emergence of the Six Gates, the official power of the imperial court, that we finally had some means to restrain the chaotic order in the world.

However, in the past, when the inner strength warriors were not restrained, the power they displayed and the damage they caused to the common people directly led to their prominent status in the world in the thousands of years after the end of the Dharma.

——————————————————————

Time flew by amidst the teachings of the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette in the side hall. Lin Pingzhi closed his eyes and meditated, and felt a trance. The bell that represented "Si Shi", that is, the 9 o'clock bell in later generations, had already sounded in the Forbidden City.

According to the imperial examination process of the Ming Dynasty in this world, at this time, the explanations of the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette in the side hall ended one by one.

The few eunuchs who had led the disciples to this side hall once again arrived accompanied by dozens of escorts.

After saluting and thanking the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette who taught them, Lin Pingzhi and the surrounding new imperial examination candidates stood up, straightened their Confucian robes, and followed the eunuchs with solemn expressions.

The palace examination is about to officially begin, and all the new candidates are striding towards the "Fengtian Palace" with big chests, where the entire top class of the Ming Empire are already waiting for the arrival of these proud sons.
