Young Master Liu Yue showed an approving expression. He hadn't expected that Li Chengtian could glean such profound insights from a simple sleep.
He clapped his hands lightly, breaking the silence of the examination room: "Good! Li Chengtian, I've taken your answer sheet. Your insights are indeed extraordinary."
Baili Dongjun stood aside, watching his esteemed lord Li Chengtian handle the situation with such composure, and his heart was filled with admiration.
He knew that he still had a long way to go before he could catch up with the Venerable One.
Mingyue Xin smiled smugly. She knew that the Venerable One always had a way to impress everyone.
At this time, the exam was nearing its end. Young Master Liu Yue announced the end of the exam and arranged for people to begin tidying up the exam room.
Baili Dongjun, Li Chengtian, and Mingyue Xin walked out of the examination hall together, preparing to continue their exploration in other areas of the Jixia Academy.
Walking along the bustling campus path, Baili Dongjun couldn't help but ask, "Your Excellency, what you just said, is it true? Did you really realize something from sleeping?"
Li Chengtian smiled slightly, his gaze profound: "Sleeping is merely a facade; true cultivation lies within the heart. What I just said was not only for everyone else, but also for myself. In this complex and ever-changing world, maintaining inner peace and steadfastness is more important than any external technique."
Upon hearing this, Baili Dongjun nodded thoughtfully. He began to realize that every word the Venerable One spoke contained profound truths, which were worth his careful consideration and study.
Just then, a familiar voice suddenly rang out behind them: "Li Chengtian, please wait."
The three turned around and saw Young Master Liu Yue walking quickly towards them with a smile on his face, as if he had something to say.
Li Chengtian raised an eyebrow slightly, gesturing for Baili Dongjun and Mingyue Xin to wait a moment, before stepping forward to greet them: "Young Master Liuyue, what can I do for you?"
Young Master Liu Yue chuckled and said, "I wouldn't presume to offer guidance, but there are some things I'd like to discuss with you. Would you be interested in joining me at the academy's tea room for a chat, Li?"
Li Chengtian's heart stirred, knowing that Young Master Liu Yue's actions must have a deeper meaning, so he nodded in agreement: "Of course, I couldn't ask for more."
Thus, under everyone's watchful eyes, Li Chengtian and Young Master Liu Yue walked side by side toward the school's tea room.
……
On the other side, on the rooftop of the tallest building in Tianqi City.
Li Changsheng couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Interesting, very interesting. Someone took an unfinished wine, named it 'Too Early,' and Liu Yue and Tu Zao approved it."
Even more bizarrely, someone simply fell asleep during the exam and passed! Haha, these young people these days!
At least it wasn't as boring as in previous years! We'll have to get Liu Yue to set the questions for the future school entrance exams!
“Mr. Li,” the woman next to Li Changsheng said with a puzzled look, “In all the years that the school has held its entrance exams, there has never been anyone who could pass the exam by sleeping.”
Don't you think this is a bit ridiculous? If word gets out, wouldn't it make my Northern Martial Arts World a laughingstock in the Southern Martial Arts World?
"Who dares to laugh at me?" Li Changsheng's face darkened. "Don't forget! I am the number one in the world. I, Li Changsheng, can do whatever I want, and it's none of their business to laugh at me!"
Li Changsheng smiled slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of unruliness and confidence: "What a joke? In the face of absolute strength, any words seem pale and powerless."
Furthermore, rules are made by people, and broken by people. If someone can truly use sleeping as an answer sheet and glean wisdom from it, that's real skill.
He paused, looked into the distance, and continued, "What the Northern Martial World, and even the entire continent, needs is not mediocre talents who follow the rules, but extraordinary talents who dare to break the mold and innovate."
I'm quite interested in Li Chengtian and Baili Dongjun.
The woman beside him nodded slightly, a hint of admiration flashing in her eyes: "Mr. Li is absolutely right. I was too narrow-minded. However, these two people have mysterious origins, especially Li Chengtian, who claims to be the Emperor of Daqing. It seems that there is quite a bit of power behind him."
“Power?” Li Changsheng’s lips curled into a playful smile. “The greater the power, the more interesting the game. I want to see just what kind of ability the Great Qing Kingdom has to cultivate their monarch into such an extraordinary figure.”
……
Meanwhile, in the tea room of Jixia Academy, Li Chengtian and Liu Yue sat facing each other, the aroma of tea wafting through the air, creating a tranquil and elegant atmosphere.
"Li Chengtian, your performance has left a deep impression on me." Young Master Liu Yue took a sip of tea and spoke slowly, "However, I'm more curious about why you chose to answer the question by sleeping. Is there some deeper meaning behind it?"
Li Chengtian smiled slightly, put down his teacup, and said with a deep gaze, "I wouldn't call it profound, but I have indeed gained some insights. In my opinion, exams are not only a test of knowledge, but also a test of mindset and adaptability."
I choose to sleep, not to escape, but to find peace in this chaotic environment and cultivate my inner self.
Upon hearing this, Young Master Liu Yue's eyes flashed with admiration: "Student Li is indeed extraordinary, and it is truly rare to have such insights. However, the rules of Jixia Academy are very strict. Aren't you afraid of causing controversy by acting in this way?"
Li Chengtian chuckled lightly: "Criticism? People's opinions are frightening, but what's even more terrifying is losing oneself. I only seek to do things with a clear conscience, and as for what others say, let them be."
Upon hearing this, Young Master Liu Yue nodded secretly, his opinion of Li Chengtian rising even higher.
He changed the subject, saying, "Li, although you've passed this school's major exam, you haven't completely passed it yet. Tomorrow is the school's final exam, and you won't be able to get away with cheating then!"
"Don't worry, Young Master Liu Yue," Li Chengtian smiled slightly, "I have a brilliant plan."
After saying this, Li Chengtian sneered inwardly.
He already knew the rules for tomorrow's final exam; it was simply a four-person team, with each team receiving a portion of the clues.
By combining this clue with those from other teams, a location can be identified.
Whoever arrives at this location first passes the test.
Li Chengtian also learned that during the exam, the Formless Venerable Envoy from the Outer Heavens would cause trouble.
That act of mischief was the beginning of Ye Dingzhi's tragic fate.
However, this time it won't be like that.
Because Ye Dingzhi was not in Tianqi City this time, but Li Chengtian was by Baili Dongjun's side.
Tomorrow's final exam has a time limit of twelve hours, but he won't need that much time to finish it.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it was the next day.
The school's final exams have officially begun.
All the candidates who passed the first round of exams arrived at the examination hall on time as scheduled.
Ling Su, the maidservant beside Young Master Liu Yue, began to explain the rules of the exam: "Fellow candidates, welcome to the final exam of Jixia Academy."
This exam will be conducted in a team format, with four people forming each team. We will provide each team with an initial clue.
Your mission is to use these clues to find the final destination hidden somewhere on campus and bring back a specific token as proof of your success.
The maid Ling Su's voice was clear and melodious, but the atmosphere in the examination room instantly became tense.
The candidates looked at each other, both excited and nervous, and began to look for their teammates.
Li Chengtian, Baili Dongjun, Yin Luoxia (Yueyao), and Zhao Yujia (Wang Yihang) formed a team.
Li Chengtian took the initial clue from Liu Yue Gongzi, a confident smile playing on his lips.
"Dongjun, this is yours." After saying that, Li Chengtian tossed the clue in his hand to Baili Dongjun.
"Your Excellency, you trust me so much, aren't you afraid I'll cause some trouble?" Baili Dongjun's eyes lit up as he asked Li Chengtian.
Li Chengtian shook his head slightly and said, "Go! With me here, nothing will happen."
Baili Dongjun nodded, then called over Yin Luoxia (Yueyao) and Zhao Yujia (Wang Yihang), and the three began to discuss how to proceed.
Li Chengtian had no interest in listening to any of this. With a gentle wave of his right hand, he summoned Mingyue Xin over.
Then, he whispered something in Mingyuexin's ear.
After hearing this, Mingyue Xin nodded: "Your Excellency, I will take care of it right away."
After saying that, Mingyue Xin secretly slipped out while everyone was not paying attention and hid in a corner, waiting for the student groups to set off one by one.
Not long after, Li Chengtian set off with Baili Dongjun and the others.
The three of them walked in front, while Li Chengtian walked behind, looking rather bored.
But then, something strange happened in the sky.
Li Chengtian looked up, and without saying goodbye to Baili Dongjun and the others, he quickly disappeared from the spot.
Before long, Li Chengtian arrived at an extremely remote corner of Tianqi City, where Zheng Qiankun led a group of masters, including Linghu Chong, Dongfang Bubai, and Yue Buqun, to descend from the sky.
"Greetings, Your Excellency!" Zheng Qiankun led the group of experts in a chorus of bows to Li Chengtian.
Li Chengtian nodded slightly, and everyone immediately stood up.
Looking at the group of experts behind Zheng Qiankun, Li Chengtian praised Zheng Qiankun, "General Zheng, well done! Has the Laughing World been unified yet?"
"Thanks to Your Majesty's great fortune, the Laughing World has been unified," Zheng Qiankun replied respectfully. "However, news has come from the Heavenly Dragon World that they have encountered some trouble."
"What trouble?" Li Chengtian asked, not expecting that the Tianlong World could cause trouble for his army.
It seems the world of Tianlong is not so simple after all!
Zheng Qiankun replied, "Your Excellency, the three brothers Xiao Feng, Duan Yu, and Xu Zhu from the world of Tianlong have joined forces to fight against the army of our Daqing Kingdom. They have also persuaded the Liao, Song, and Jin kingdoms, which are divided between them."
A coalition of adversaries was formed. Although my Daqing army was invincible and undefeated, its progress was much slower.
"Come on, follow me to the Tianlong World." Upon hearing this, Li Chengtian immediately made a decision to lead Zheng Qiankun and the others to the Tianlong World to provide support.
But Zheng Qiankun frowned and reminded him, "Your Excellency, how do you plan to handle things here?"
"Mingyue Xin will handle it for me."
After Li Chengtian finished speaking, he opened the system and led Zheng Qiankun, Linghu Chong, and other masters from The Smiling, Proud Wanderer to the world of Tianlong.
And just as Li Chengtian and the others vanished into thin air...
On the rooftop of the tallest building in Tianqi City, Li Changsheng frowned deeply: "An immortal once touched my head, granting me immortality. Could it be that the Great Qing Kingdom, where Li Chengtian resides, is truly a world of immortals?"
……
The world of Tianlong is a vast and mysterious continent, with magnificent mountains and rivers and numerous sects.
Li Chengtian, leading Zheng Qiankun, Linghu Chong, and other experts, used the system to teleport, instantly crossing the boundaries of time and space, and descending upon this unknown land.
They landed deep in a dense forest, where all was quiet except for the occasional birdsong and the rustling of leaves in the wind.
