Chapter 318: Conquering the Kingdom of Women, Arriving at Yuhang County, Appointing Mei Niang, the Empress's Good Wife
Emperor Xiao looked at them, and his profound wisdom and understanding also enveloped these national treasures. Then, the light of wisdom that burst out from his mind made him realize: "So that's how it is. This is really a special method of cultivation. And it's also a set of special spiritual treasures."

Emperor Xiao murmured softly, and the profound wisdom had already imprinted all that he had comprehended in his heart.

[Your extraordinary understanding, comprehending the ninety-nine national treasures, discovered that each national treasure contains a method of cultivation. For example, the Sun and Moon Sword Art, the Great Wind Spiritual Art, the Blazing Fire Art... the ninety-nine methods, all-encompassing, seem to involve various great ways, and have no connection at all. But as you observe more deeply, you find that the core of the ninety-nine methods is actually connected by an invisible great way. These methods have a special connection with each other, evolving into a kind of name: Human Yuan Dao Dian! ]

[The Human Yuan Dao Dian involves various kinds of laws, but it can be connected with various great ways to form a book of the laws of the great way that one cultivates. Simply put, the Human Yuan Dao Dian is a pure law that anyone can practice, and can also evolve into a law that suits one's own great way according to the great way that one cultivates. It can also rely on the great way that one cultivates to command ninety-nine kinds of laws and evolve into one law, one magical power, one killing...]

[In addition, the law contained in the Human Yuan Dao Canon can be integrated with the weapon. The weapon and the law can be combined into one, evolving into stronger killing, magical powers, and wonderful methods.]

"A book that can integrate all the great ways and evolve into a great way book suitable for practitioners. A book that can use the great way that one cultivates to command various methods and evolve into methods and magical powers that suit oneself. A book that can make the weapon and the method unite and evolve into an unparalleled killing book."

"What a great 'Human Yuan Dao Dian'! The person who created this method really had a good idea and was good at the Five Elements. But it's a pity that this method is an incomplete one, after all..."

Emperor Xiao also digested the various things brought by his understanding, and he couldn't help sighing. Such a profound idea was actually incomplete. He shook his head and tapped with his fingertips: "Although it is incomplete, with my wisdom and understanding, it is not impossible to perfect this method in the future."

Yes, the Human Yuan Dao Dian is incomplete, although the purpose of this method is extremely high and all-encompassing. However, it is precisely because it contains too much and the purpose is too high that this method is not perfect and has many incompleteness.

Emperor Xiao wanted to connect the Human Yuan Dao Canon with the Dao of War, but he found that the method after the connection with the Dao of War was pitifully weak and had flaws everywhere.

However, Di Xiao was confident that with his wisdom and understanding, he would be able to perfect this method.

As he thought of this, even though the sky was filled with brilliant red light, the spirit of the Mountain and River Map reappeared, accompanied by a mysterious light, enveloping Emperor Xiao.

"Di Xiao, a candidate for the martial arts examination, took part in the assessment of talented generals. It took him more than 500 years to conquer all the countries and complete this assessment. The time he spent and the assessment experience far exceeded those of others. Therefore, he passed the martial arts examination and was evaluated as Grade A." The weapon spirit delivered these words without any emotion.

Di Xiao felt the glow of the sunset and stretched himself lazily, "A-grade? Just as I expected. But, these national treasures I got should also belong to me, right?"

"Everything obtained during the examination belongs to the examinee himself." The spirit of the weapon answered truthfully.

"What about the cultivation methods hidden in these national treasures?" Emperor Xiao asked back, wanting to know the secrets.

"The hidden methods also belong to the examinees. And no matter whether you are studying the imperial examination or the martial arts examination, you will all receive similar incomplete methods." The spirit of the weapon answered truthfully, and described it with emotion: "The inherited methods are hidden very deeply, and it is difficult to discover. And those who can discover them are undoubtedly true geniuses. The Tang Dynasty also hopes that you geniuses will perfect these incomplete methods. After all, from the birth of the human race to the present, there are countless incomplete or imperfect methods handed down."

"Many humans want to perfect these incomplete methods. After all, they are the crystallization of human wisdom. Unfortunately, there are only a few who can perfect them, so they are sent to you, the human geniuses."

"This can be considered a hidden test in both civil and military examinations. If you can complete it, it will not only benefit yourself, but you will also get more rewards." The words of the weapon spirit made Di Xiao understand: "I see, I understand. Next, send me out."

Now that everything has been clarified from the weapon spirit, it is time to go. Of course, Emperor Xiao did not expect that the assessment would include a test to repair the incomplete inheritance.

Thinking of this, he was also sent out of the map of mountains and rivers by the sunset glow.

When Emperor Xiao appeared again, he had returned to the banquet venue. He saw Li Shimin and the hundreds of thousands of ministers, but not the examinees.

Emperor Xiao, or, that towering, majestic voice came: "Good, good... The first place in this civil and military examination has been born. Emperor Xiao from the White Tiger Army is also the wise marquis of our Tang Dynasty. He is the first to complete the assessment and even the commander-in-chief assessment."

"During the assessment, the performance of Marquis of Wisdom amazed me. Therefore, I appoint Marquis of Wisdom Di Xiao as the governor of Yuhang County, commanding the military and political power in Yuhang County. I order the reward..."

Emperor Xiao didn't remember any of the rewards. But he only remembered that he seemed to have been appointed as the head of a county, and it was Yuhang County? Why did this place name sound so familiar?

"Yuhang County!"

A familiar feeling flowed in his heart. Di Xiao always felt that something familiar would happen in the place he was about to go.

Thinking this way, he gradually forgot about the civil and military examinations. In fact, after Emperor Xiao was the first to pass the examination, he had little interest in the subsequent candidates.

As he pondered this, he watched this once-in-a-millennium event of civil and military achievements in the Tang Dynasty come to an end.

After the exam, all candidates who passed the exam were assigned to various places in the Tang Dynasty as generals according to their skills and abilities. The same was true for candidates who passed the imperial exam, who were assigned to various places as local officials.

Only Emperor Xiao is a special case. He not only controls the political power, but also the military power.

Regarding this arrangement, Xue Rengui also gave Di Xiao an explanation: "Di Xiao, don't think too much. His Majesty made this arrangement this time for your growth. After all, the inheritance left by Tathagata inexplicably is a hidden danger. In order to protect your safety, His Majesty wanted to keep you in Chang'an City. But His Majesty also knows that a strong man cannot be raised in a greenhouse. That's why you are appointed as a county governor to grow up in this place."

"Besides, Yuhang County is within the Great Tang Dynasty after all. Although it is not as safe as Chang'an City, it is not much worse. Even if Tathagata has any plans, it is estimated that it will be difficult to execute."

"I can guess what your majesty has arranged. But..." Emperor Xiao is not stupid. He was confused at first, but after a little thought, he knew the intention of Li Shimin's arrangement. But such an arrangement inevitably caught Emperor Xiao off guard. He smiled slightly and drank a glass of wine casually: "What I wonder is why I am the only one in charge of military and political affairs? As far as I know, the current Tang Dynasty should have a separation of military and political affairs."
