The courtiers who had survived that day saw this situation.

To them, who were extremely sensitive to politics, they immediately discovered an opportunity.

However, just as they were about to remind the juniors of the clan to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to prepare for the test,

a decree that caught them off guard disrupted their preparations.

“What? His Majesty wants to set up an ancestral hall for a person called Gong Ziliang?”

“Moreover, you want our Ministry of Rites to write a biography for this person and include it in the examinations for the township examination, general examination, and palace examination?”

The assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, Tong Wannian, knelt in the hall. After hearing the eunuch recite the imperial decree, he was immediately stunned.

Gong Ziliang?

He had never heard of this name!

Was it very impressive?

Immediately, Tong Wannian thought of the current situation of the Monet Dynasty.

For some reason, the Flat River Dynasty had retreated the million-strong army they had previously sent from the border of the Monet Dynasty for a hundred miles.

However, this did not mean that the Flat River Dynasty was going to stop.

To the Monet Dynasty, they still had to bear a huge amount of military pressure.

Moreover, other than the external worry of the Flat River Dynasty, in the inner part of the Monet Dynasty, there were also many things to do. They urgently needed to pass the following imperial examinations and choose the best candidates to fill the gap in the talent of governing the dynasty.

However, at this moment, which monarch actually did such a thing.

These thoughts ran through Tong Wannian’s mind.

Immediately, he could not suppress his anger. It burned until he could not let it out.

He had a straightforward personality and was loyal to the Monet Dynasty. Therefore, in the previous purge, not only did he preserve his life, but he was also promoted to the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Rites.

He immediately ignored the etiquette of accepting the decree and directly rolled up his sleeves and said angrily, “Who is that Gong Ziliang? Why would Your Majesty set up an ancestral hall for him?”

“No, I have to enter the palace to meet the Emperor and ask him what kind of bewitchment he’s under!”

After saying that, he pulled up the sleeve of the eunuch and was about to rush to the palace.

To his surprise, although the eunuch looked weak, he did not move at all under his strength.

“Vice Minister Tong, I know that you’re loyal to the country. I also admire your integrity.”

“However, His Majesty said that the establishment of the ancestral hall concerns the foundation of our dynasty for thousands of years and is the foundation of the kingdom. It has to be implemented.”

“No matter if it’s the capital or any other place, if there’s any mistake, they have to be killed without mercy!”

The words of the eunuch reminded Tong Wannian of the terrifying scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood in the throne room that day.

His body trembled, and his surging anger was immediately doused with cold water.

The ambition in his heart disappeared at this moment.

“Since Your Majesty has said so, I’ll follow your orders…”

After Tong Wannian finished speaking in a daze, when he received the imperial decree with both hands, he suddenly felt that it was the vast territory that was about to fall.

Apart from the Ministry of Rites, a similar scene also happened in the various institutions of the Imperial City.

After those courtiers who survived the Great Purge received the decree, they all sighed.

They were filled with despair about the future of the Monet Dynasty.

At the same time, they cursed Gong Ziliang in their minds.

In the palace, Gong Ziliang was fusing the power of his soul with the dragon and phoenix mark on his arms, guiding the providence of the Divine Body to grind at the Heavenly Dao curse in his soul.

“Achoo, achoo!”

Suddenly, his nose itched and he sneezed a few times, interrupting his cultivation.

“Tsk! Who’s saying bad things behind my back?”

Gong Ziliang rubbed his itchy nose and muttered angrily.

Suddenly, Gong Ziliang felt that after some of the negative aura in his soul was eliminated, the cultivation that was stuck at the peak of the Profound Realm swayed even more.

“Eh, I think I can break through.”

This discovery made Gong Ziliang’s eyes light up, and his bad mood was swept away.

Although he had only broken through from the peak of the Profound Realm to the True Martial Realm and not directly rushed back to the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, to Gong Ziliang, who had been stuck in the Profound Realm for a long time, he was already very satisfied to be able to break through without using the providence of the Monet Dynasty.

The Great Azure Mystic Spirit Technique circulated.

According to his previous experience, Gong Ziliang was familiar with it and began to guide spiritual qi into his body from heaven and earth.

He felt that his limbs and bones were becoming more and more filled with spiritual qi.

Gong Ziliang could not help but look forward to how much his strength could recover after this breakthrough.

Just as Gong Ziliang broke through, in a hall, Mo Zhongtian sat upright.

Behind him, Cao Tianzheng seemed to be looking down and looking straight ahead.

However, in fact, when the two figures opposite walked into the hall, his mind was firmly attracted by an old man walking behind the two of them.

The old man was wearing a gray robe. His clothes were simple and he looked ordinary.

What was slightly noticeable was that other than the jade hairpin in his hair, there was only a longsword hanging at his waist.

At this moment, in Cao Tianzheng’s perception, the spiritual qi surging in the gray-clothed old man’s jade hairpin and the killing intent vaguely emitted from the longsword at his waist made him tremble in fear.

Walking in front of the gray-clothed old man was a young man who looked to be 15 or 16 years old.

Like the gray-clothed old man, he was also wearing a rough linen shirt.

When he walked over, the aura that naturally emitted from his entire body had a majestic charm that was extremely incompatible with his age.

It was as if this hall could not contain him.

He looked at the young man.

Mo Zhongtian quickly recalled the deeds of this Holy Son of the Canglan Dao Sect.

It was said that it was an abandoned infant picked up from the wooden basin that floated down from the river by the Sect Master of the Canglan River.

He was named Cang Liu’er.

In the beginning, the Canglan Dao Sect did not take Cang Liu’er, who was only an abandoned infant, to heart.

However, as Cang Liu gradually grew up, he began to reveal shocking cultivation talent.

At two years old, he was literate, at three years old, he could point out the flaws in martial techniques, and at four years old, the flaws of cultivation techniques.

When he was seven years old, Cang Liu’er had already memorized all the martial techniques and cultivation techniques of the Canglan Dao Sect.

Therefore, under the personal guidance of the Sect Master of the Canglan Dao Sect, Cang Liu’er began to step onto the cultivation path.

After this, Cang Liu’er’s performance became even more shocking.

In less than three years, Cang Liu’er cultivated Dao Intent and broke the record set by others to become the youngest Profound Realm cultivator in the history of the Canglan Dao Sect.

In the next two years, Cang Liu’er broke through one realm every year.

When he was eleven, his spiritual sense had transformed and his cultivation had reached the peak of the Spirit Refinement Realm.

He was only a step away from condensing a Divine Flame that was comparable to the Sect Master.

However, just as everyone in the Canglan Dao Sect was looking forward to Cang Liu’er advancing courageously and breaking through to the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, he suddenly begged the Sect Master to leave the Canglan Dao Sect and head to the various dynasties to observe the myriad techniques of the world and create an invincible cultivation technique that surpassed the predecessors.

When the news spread, the Canglan Dao Sect was shocked by the choice Cang Liu’er made.
