Chapter 127 Choosing a Dynasty

A few days later, Junzi Mountain was officially closed to all outsiders.

Even those Confucian scholars who study at the foot of the mountain cannot go up the mountain.

Except for a few disciples who were stationed in various major dynasties and could not return to Junzi Mountain, all the Confucian monks who were on missions returned and prepared to participate in the seven-year investiture ceremony of the Twelve Young Sages.

The Twelve Young Masters are elected every seven years, the Twelve Great Scholars are elected every fifteen years, the Ten Great Literary Saints are elected for forty years, and the Nine Great Confucians are elected for seventy years.

After seven years, the title of the Twelve Young Masters will expire and be replaced by a new one. However, those who have been elected as the Twelve Young Masters are also qualified to run for the Twelve Young Masters.

The same goes for other titles.

As for the Seven Holy Saints, once they are elected, they will be the Holy Saints for life. Only when the Holy Saint dies will their position be vacated.

Therefore, the sages of the past dynasties are the elites among the elites. Xun Zhu has been in charge of Confucianism for nearly a hundred years. The situation in Lingwu Continent in this era has his traces everywhere.

On that day, on the highest peak of Junzi Mountain, Ruyu Peak, Ning Wuxie stood on the stage with more than twenty other candidates, waiting for Xun Zhu to read out this year's list.

The names on the list are the talents selected by Confucianism after seven years of assessment.

These young disciples become the Twelve Young Sages, which means that they have officially entered the Confucian promotion sequence. In addition, they can climb up and become the new Supreme Being, Literary Sage, etc.

Outside, they can go to various dynasty events, enter the court, serve as generals and become prime ministers, and use their tactics and strength to realize their political ambitions!

Ning Wuxie stood next to Meng Canran, behind him were countless Confucian disciples who came to watch. On the high platform in front of him stood the Seven Saints headed by Xun Zhu.

Xun Zhu slowly read out the names one by one, including Ning Wuxie and Meng Cangran.

After the twelve names were read, the disciples watching cheered in unison!

"I announce that the above are the candidates for this year's Twelve Young Sages of Confucianism! Those whose names are not read, please step aside." Xun Zhu put down the scroll and said loudly.

The other disciples turned around and left without much disappointment on their faces, because the quota for the Twelve Young Masters was determined by the elders, and they knew in advance whether they could be selected.

"Next, let the young sages choose the dynasty where they will go for training."

Xun Zhu turned back to the middle of the queue of the Seven Holy Saints, and a ceremonial officer opened his mouth and shouted.

As soon as he finished speaking, the clouds around Yufeng suddenly fluctuated, as if something was surging inside, and at the same time, several animal sounds sounded from all around the mountain!

The crowd onlookers was in a commotion, they all knew what they were about to see.

Ning Wuxie glanced at Meng Cangran with some confusion, and the other party smiled and gave him a firm look, as if to say, you will know it soon.

"Please invite the auspicious beasts of the Five Dynasties!" the etiquette officer shouted again.

Swish, swish, swish!

From under the clouds around Ruyu Peak, five huge monsters suddenly rushed out! They hovered in the air for a while, and then landed suddenly on Ruyufeng Mountain, letting out a shocking roar!

A giant tiger with black and white patterns all over its body and two wings on its back.

A roc with golden and red wings, trailing tail feathers, and eyes burning with flames.

The horns are like giant trees, and the snow-white body has light-colored patterns on the stag.

And there is a black turtle with a black back shell and a slender expression, covered with spikes and ridges.

The auspicious beasts from the four kingdoms of Xuan Qin, Shang Yun, Dayu, and Dachu stood in front of the twelve selected young men, lowered their heads, waiting to be chosen!

They are not monsters, but just monsters that symbolize the totems of various dynasties. They were brought from the palace not only to express respect for Confucianism, but also to hope that Confucian people can join their own dynasty.

But on the far right of the four auspicious beasts, there is an out-of-place figure.

This is actually a person.

And she is still a woman. She looks like she is only a few years older than Xuan'er. Standing next to the black turtle of the Great Chu Dynasty, she looks like a little kid.

Such a contrast attracted everyone's attention for a while. Ning Wuxie was just astonished when he heard someone from the crowd behind him shouting:

"It's Miss Mo Xin!"

"It's the third princess of the Lanyuan Dynasty!"

The onlookers were in an uproar. Unexpectedly, this woman was Mo Xin, who was ranked among the most talented people of the human race as a demon race!

Ning Wuxie was also surprised and looked at Mo Xin.

I saw that she had tanned skin, a delicate and beautiful appearance, a braided head, and a headband made of bone rings, which made her look a bit reckless.

But she was still wearing human clothing from the civilized world. The carved black gown on the right side was very chic. Her figure was flat, with almost no feminine features visible.

Although the Lanyuan Dynasty is a demon dynasty, sending the three princesses of the dynasty to attend the investiture ceremony of the Twelve Young Masters is too high, isn't it?

After all, the other four are just monsters.

"The third princess of the Lanyuan Dynasty, Mo Xin, passed by Junzi Mountain recently and came here in person to recruit talents!"

As if to answer everyone's doubts, the etiquette officer shouted again.

The crowd onlookers heard this and made a clear sound.

However, Ning Wuxie, who was standing in the center of the field and closer to Mo Xin, saw that the expression on Mo Xin's face was not very friendly.

The corners of her mouth bent to both sides, looking impatient, or rather unconvinced. She didn't even look at the twelve young men standing in a row in front of her.

The etiquette officer did not delay any further and immediately continued the award ceremony:

"Young sages, please go and pay a visit to the auspicious beast of intention!"

At this point, the highlight of the award ceremony has arrived!

Twelve young talents have to choose the dynasty they like, then walk to the auspicious beast of the corresponding dynasty and accept the talent order spit out by the auspicious beast!

Before this, no one knew where these young sages were going. Wherever they went, there would definitely be some fluctuations there!

So everyone was looking forward to which dynasty would get more talents this year, which dynasty would be ignored, and what changes these dynasties would undergo in the future.

Ning Wuxie looked around and saw that someone had already stepped out of the queue and walked towards the auspicious beast in front of him. It seemed that they had already thought about it.

Meng Cangran glanced at Ning Wuxie, nodded, and also quickened his pace and walked in front of the black tiger of Xuan Qin State, where two people were already standing.

Ning Wuxie did not move, but quietly observed the situation.

The twelve young sages did not delay, and it seemed that they had already made plans. After a while, the other eleven people had chosen their dynasties.

Three people from Xuan Qin State, two people from Dayu, two people from Shangyun, and four people from Dachu.

Not a single one went to Lanyuan Dynasty.

And Qin and Chu were the most powerful countries, and they were also the most attractive.

Only Ning Wuxie was still standing there.

"What do you think, should Ning Wuxie go to Xuan Qin or Da Chu?" Seeing Ning Wuxie not moving, everyone thought he was in a dilemma.

It's not surprising, after all, he looked the youngest among the twelve.

"Of course it's Xuan Qin. He's so good at fighting, it's most appropriate for him to go to Qin."

"It's hard to say. Chu is rich. He's still young, and he must need a lot of money to practice."

Everyone started to discuss.

The etiquette officer waited for a moment and urged: "Young Master, please choose the dynasty you want to go to."

Ning Wuxie nodded, a little speechless. He really didn't expect that Lanyuan Dynasty was so unpopular.

He looked at Mo Xin who was standing there, with no one in front of him. Mo Xin was shifting his center of gravity to his right foot, standing not very solemnly, and looking coldly at the other young masters in front of the four auspicious beasts.

It didn't seem surprising that no one chose her.

Suddenly, she seemed to feel the gaze and turned her head to look at Ning Wuxie.

Then, in full view of everyone, Ning Wuxie walked towards Mo Xin.
