According to the times taken to cross the River Qu, the examinees were reordered.
That wolf tribe youth was placed first.
The gazes everyone gave him were complicated, they naturally knew that Zhang Ting Tao was a fake name.
Under the leading of the Li Palace clergy, a hundred odd examinees left the Southern shore’s woodlands and headed towards a deeper part of the Garden of Dawn.
It didn’t take long for them to reach a large evergreen tree.
Early Spring season, upon the trees within the Capital’s streets and alleys, only small green shoots had begun to appear, yet, this evergreen tree was covered in countless green leaves that swayed in the cold breeze; akin to someone gloating.
This evergreen tree had a lot to be proud of; apart from being swathed in green, it was also immense in size.
Lightly enveloped by clouds, its highest reaches were partially covered; its top was actually out of sight.
Its trunk was incredibly thick, needing at least ten people to fully encircle.
The lower part of this tree had a hollow opening; the dark cavity gave off a slightly sinister feeling.
The clergy of Li Palace led examinees into this hollow opening.
Beyond the hollow, was another world.
