My Wife is A Sword God

Chapter 436: Entering the Fifth Rank of the Magnificent Virtue Realm



As the words fell, a wave of Literature Qi soared into the sky, making the sky above the Peaceful Academy as bright as day!

At that moment, the four characters of the Peaceful Academy shone brightly.

Above the sky, numerous white life stars lit up, creating a magnificent starry sky that even ordinary people could see!

Everyone was stunned, not understanding what was happening.

Inside the Heavenly Tower, Yang Qian raised an eyebrow at this unusual sight, “It looks like our junior brother is about to break through. However, this is the first time I’ve seen such a great phenomenon. Our junior brother is truly exceptional.”

Fei Xun, standing beside him, nodded and looked towards the place where the stars gathered.

The Literature Qi surged into the sky, illuminating countless life stars that reflected Qin Feng’s light.

However, this phenomenon came and went quickly. The life stars turned into flowing light, merged with the Literature Qi, and entered Qin Feng’s spiritual consciousness.

With the baptism of the vast Qi, the Heart Questioning Platform in Qin Feng’s divine sea finally turned completely golden at this moment.

And he finally took the final step of entering the fifth rank of the Magnificent Virtue Realm as a Literature Saint!

He closed his eyes and calmly felt the changes in his body. 

At that moment, when he looked at the two lines of poetry on the doorpost again, he felt a strange sensation.

The students only saw Master Qin approach the doorpost and place his hand on the poem.

In an instant, a golden light flashed over the poem and the entire Peaceful Academy changed.

But exactly how it changed, Qin Feng couldn’t explain clearly. 

He turned to Han Zhi and said, “Why don’t you try to go inside?”

“Huh? Oh.” Han Zhi cautiously entered the Peaceful Academy, then widened his eyes.

For some reason, as soon as he entered the academy, his mind became exceptionally clear. Books he had memorised flashed through his mind and became exceptionally vivid!

Han Zhi swallowed hard, as if to check something, and hurriedly ran to the bookshelf in the academy, grabbed a book, and flipped through it.

This strange scene left the onlookers outside the academy completely confused.

Someone familiar asked, “Han Zhi, what are you doing?”

Ignoring the question, Han Zhi continued to concentrate on reading the book in his hands.

After reading a book for about the time it takes to burn two incense sticks, he excitedly said, “Master Qin, I remember this entire book! It seems the academy has changed.”

His words surprised everyone.

Many students were sceptical, but they entered the Peaceful Academy anyway.

As soon as they entered the academy, they felt the same strange sensation as Han Zhi.

They picked up books and the contents seemed to come to life and enter their minds.

Sounds of joy and amazement echoed.

Lost in thought, Qin Feng looked at the two lines of poetry on the doorpost.

After entering the fifth rank of the Magnificent Virtue Realm, one could use Literature Treasures.

What were Literature Treasures? 

Back when he was reading at the Listen To Rain Pavilion in Jinyang City, he knew that the poems, paintings, articles, and books created by the Literature Saint could all be considered Literature Treasures.

So the two lines of poetry on the doorpost were also considered Literature Treasures!

Perhaps the strange changes in Peaceful Academy were due to his unintentionally activating the Literature Treasures.

However, Qin Feng had never expected Literature Treasures to be so magical.

At this moment, another thought suddenly occurred to him.

‘Wait a minute, now that I’ve entered the fifth rank of the Magnificent Virtue Realm, can I try to absorb the primordial immortal qi and advance to the fourth rank?’

At this point, Qin Feng still didn’t know what the fourth rank of the Literature Saint Realm was called, or what its unique characteristics were.

However, he did remember one thing: his father-in-law had told him that if there is a significant difference in cultivation between men and women, it will be difficult to procreate due to bloodline gaps.

And if he wanted to have a child with his wife so that the child could see the world as soon as possible, he would have to reach at least the fourth level.

Now all that remains is the final step!

After all, I haven’t had time with my wife for many days.

Thinking about this, Qin Feng turned his head and looked at Liu Jianli, who was dressed in white.

The latter felt something in her heart and she gently opened her red lips, “What is it?”

“You don’t need to practice tonight, right?” Qin Feng scratched his head and asked.

Upon hearing this, Liu Jianli blushed and replied with a nasal tone.

The result of the academic dispute swept through the entire Imperial City like a hurricane.

In particular, Qin Feng’s words, “Who said that students from humble backgrounds cannot comprehend the vast world?” became a topic of discussion among many ordinary people.

The privileged scholars of the National Academy, who were usually high and mighty, had now become the laughing stock of the city.

It was Qin Feng who made them vaguely see the future of students from humble backgrounds.

Needless to say, this news not only caused a sensation among the common people, but also spread quickly within the palace. Upon hearing the results, many officials not only criticised the National Academy, but also secretly lamented.

Although the Emperor’s moods were unpredictable and his thoughts unfathomable, they all understood that the Emperor had proposed the Imperial Examination System not long ago, and this time he will definitely take advantage of this situation.

Indeed, the reality was as they had expected.

The next morning, civil and military officials gathered at the Imperial Court, only to see the Emperor’s face extremely sombre.

Emperor Ming sneered and then said, “Regarding yesterday’s matter, I wonder if you, esteemed ministers, have heard of it?”

The civil officials looked at their noses and the military officials were thinking about the Art Of War, showing no reaction.

The Emperor singled out a civil official who was also the most opposed to the imperial examination system. The official feigned ignorance and asked, “What happened, Your Majesty? I stayed at home all day yesterday and didn’t go out. So, I don’t know what happened.”

The Emperor didn’t tell them and called out several other officials one by one.

Without exception, these officials were the most vocal opponents of the imperial examination system, and they were all from the National Academy!

When Emperor Ming saw that everyone was pretending to be ignorant, he slapped the table and stood up. No longer pretending, he laid it all out on the table.

“I am very heartbroken. More than ten people from the National Academy, engaged in an academic dispute, but they have actually been defeated by an outsider.”

“Considering that more than half of the court officials are from the National Academy, how can I trust you to govern my country?”

Knowing that they were in the wrong, the group of civil officials bowed their heads and cursed the scholars from the National Academy with resentment in their hearts.

They couldn’t understand why there had to be such a scholarly dispute. Even if there was one, they couldn’t even win a single argument, which made it incredibly embarrassing.

The Emperor, infuriated by the situation, spent the equivalent of two incense sticks scolding them in front of the imperial throne.

Seeing that the stage was set, he sat back on the dragon throne, looking a little tired.

However, anyone with insight could see that the Emperor was about to address serious matters.

“Earlier, I proposed the Imperial Examination System, hoping to draw heroes from all corners of the country. But you all argued that the heroes were already in the National Academy, and there was no need for such an extra effort.”

“Now that it has come to this, what else do you have to say?”

As soon as the Imperial Examination System was mentioned, some officials wanted to speak out against it. But after a glance from the Emperor, they retreated.

The most solid argument they had relied on yesterday had been refuted, leaving them with little confidence in their opposition.

The Emperor withdrew his gaze and, following Qin Feng’s plan for the imperial examination system, issued imperial orders to the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Rites.

During this process, many officials voiced their objections, but the Emperor forcefully suppressed them.

However, the Emperor also understood that haste makes waste. The implications of the Imperial Examination System were significant, and attempting to cover the entire The Great Qian Dynasty at once was impractical.

Therefore, he explicitly stated that the system would first be implemented within the Imperial City and then see its effect.

Upon hearing this, the officials tried to find a reason to object.

At that moment, a dragon’s roar echoed from the direction of the Floating Dragon Hall, filling the ears of everyone present.
