Peerless Taoist

Lu Yu slowly woke up from the fog. Qin Yu and the others were getting further and further away from him.    

In the next moment, he saw the high and mighty golden dragon throne of the Cosmos Palace, and beside it stood the civil and military examiners.    

The Crown Prince stood by the side with a gloomy expression. No one knew what he was thinking about.    

After a moment, Lu Yu quickly came back to his senses and knew that he had returned to reality.    

In his previous life, he had experienced some kind of illusion. He had also experienced this kind of situation. Soon, he recovered and fell into a state of clarity.    

However, not everyone had such experiences.    

Many examinees woke up from this illusionary realm for the first time and were still not used to it. Some of them were still immersed in the Yellow Millet Dream and stood there for a long time without coming back to their senses.    

This was the feeling of being in a trance after suddenly changing from a dream to reality, creating a strong contrast.    

Some of the examinees were still standing on the spot. Although the scenery around them had changed again and again, they were still unable to regain their senses. Their minds had already wandered to an unknown place.    

Dong -    

A deep and powerful sound of a bell rang out from within the Imperial Palace. It was as clear as an ear.    

This sound of the bell was like a clear spring that washed away all the worries and complicated feelings. In an instant, all of the examinees present had become clear-headed. Everything that had happened in the past was like a dream. After a moment, they finally woke up.    

Many of the examinees finally regained their senses. Their originally confused gazes gradually became clear-headed.    

After all, they were elites that had been selected from all over the world. Although it was the first time they had entered such an illusionary realm, they quickly realized that they had already escaped from it.    

The court examinations had ended!    

Some people shed tears of disappointment, while others smiled. All of them had different expressions on their faces.    

This meant that they had been training in a dream for a year. Regardless of whether they succeeded or not, they received an unprecedented baptism. Some people did not understand the governmental affairs of the imperial court, but during this one year of training, and get enough exercise.    

To many geniuses, what they lacked was not talent, but experience. To them, getting familiar with government affairs in advance was a lot of benefits.    

Of course, there were also some examinees who noticed that there were fewer people present.    

Some of them failed their challenge in the Yellow Millet Dream. Some lost their lives, and some even lost the qualifications to be a Prefecture Overseer. As long as there was one thing, it would be removed from the Yellow Millet Dream Realm.    

There were more than six thousand people who lost their qualifications.    

Because even as a Prefecture Overseer, the things that he had to face every day were as vast as the ocean. Although some of them had considerable strength, when it came to administrative matters, they didn't manage to handle it well enough, so they lost their position as a Prefecture Overseer.    

There were also some who, even though they could retain their positions as Prefecture Overseers, they were able to show off their abilities and were hated by others. They had been assassinated without being aware of it, which was why they had lost the right to participate in the court examinations.    

Although Great Yu's Heavenly Dynasty controlled the Heaven Realm, every place was in a different form. The Prefecture Overseers in many places were as cautious as walking on thin ice, afraid of getting themselves killed.    

There were more than eighteen thousand people who had participated in the Palace Examination, but in the end, there were only about twelve thousand people left.    

These twelve thousand people would be given the title of Grand Scholar, which would allow them to work in various places in Great Yu's Heavenly Dynasty.    

Those who could stay in Cosmos Hall all looked wild with joy. They knew that as long as they had the status of Grand Scholar, they could have official positions in Great Yu's Imperial Court, and from there, they would be blessed with a great destiny, and the cultivation level would soar into the sky.
