I wield power with my innate talents, and forge the Heavenly Court.

Chapter 223 Immortal Realm School: The Allure of Official Ranks and Grades
After seeing the entire Shuntian Prefecture, everyone gradually realized that this city in the immortal realm seemed to be exactly the same as Shuntian Prefecture.

In the end, everyone's attention turned to the dynasty.

After Wang Chao gave a general account of what had happened, everyone finally realized what was going on.

"Your Majesty, do you mean to let beginners learn magic here?"

"Yes, that's right!"
Because the rules of this world are more dynamic, it is easier to gain insights, including forming one's own independent celestial status. It is also much easier here.

At that time, I will merge the previous spiritual space with this place, and you will all be able to enter here to practice and learn through your celestial status.

"Yes, you can also use your official positions and authority to control the flow of time in a region, thereby accelerating learning and handling government affairs."

"Ah~?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.

In this way, everyone's work efficiency will be greatly improved, and they will also have more personal time.

Whether it's for spiritual cultivation, practicing supernatural powers and spells, or spending time with family, they will have more time.

Afterwards, the group headed to the school.

Within the capital city, there are several primary schools to make it convenient for children from different areas to attend school.

When they arrived at the elementary school, they found that the school was shrouded in a hazy white light, and faint sounds of reading could be heard coming from within.

"Eh? Your Majesty, have children already entered?"

"not at all!"

Wang Chao shook his head and said with a smile:

"Come in with me and you will see why."

"Very well, then I will lead the way."

Li Zhonghe, the fifty-year-old Chancellor of the Imperial Academy, had lost his usual composure and spoke before Wu Chang and the others.

After all, the Chancellor of the Imperial Academy was the highest educational institution and the highest university in the entire country.

As the Chancellor of the Imperial Academy, Li Zhonghe was equivalent to the Minister of Education in later times, and also the president of the country's top university.

Li Zhonghe was naturally very concerned about matters related to national education.

Seeing Li Zhonghe's excited expression, Wu Chang and the others couldn't help but smile slightly, and no one stopped them.

Given that this matter concerns national education, it is understandable that Li Zhonghe, as the Chancellor of the Imperial Academy, would be excited. This is not only about his political achievements, but also about his moral character.

A well-developed education system, with more and more people enrolling in schools, will generate endless scholarly energy, converging towards the Imperial Academy and towards him, the Chancellor of the Imperial Academy.

Li Zhonghe, who cultivates literature and Taoism, would naturally make rapid progress in such an environment.

As for the fact that he is already the Chancellor of the Imperial Academy, which is the highest-ranking Minister of Education in the education system, he can be said to have reached the limit of advancement, so why does he still need political achievements?

Just as there are ranks of honor and titles for military personnel, there are also ranks of civil officials.

For example, Li Zhonghe today is not only the third-rank Imperial Academy Chancellor, but also a third-rank Grand Master of Ceremonies.

Above that, there are even more honorary ranks, which are not limited by official positions.

If he achieves enough political accomplishments, he could reach the rank of First Rank, which would be acceptable.

Although the dynasty established a celestial empire, it did not make major changes to the national system.

Wang Chao believed that the Ming Dynasty's national system was actually quite perfect, and the reason why various problems arose was mainly due to issues of supervision.

Of course, in some places, it does indeed have many problems.

Dynasties can also refer to later dynasties and make certain modifications to address these issues.

However, overall, the dynasty did not undergo any major changes.

Therefore, under the current system, even the Ministers of the Six Ministries are only of the second rank.

This shows the high value of a first-grade official rank.

Above that, there are additional official ranks such as the Three Dukes and the Three Sovereigns.

Although the three dukes and three sovereigns were all of the first rank, they were also among the first rank officials.

However, these honorary official titles can be accumulated.

The more honorary ranks and official positions one holds, the more national fortune power one receives, and the faster one's cultivation speed will naturally increase.

Above all, the divine positions in the celestial and underworld realms, do you want them?

With the new Celestial Empire established, there are plenty of higher official positions and posts.

Especially among those who achieved the honorary rank of First Grade, only a handful, including Wang Dahu, were involved.

In addition to these, there were also titles of duke and marquis.

Even Wang Dahu was only a first-class Marquis of Wu'an; above him were first, second, and third-class dukes.

Above that, there are also the titles of Super Duke and Duke of the State.

Yes, the dynasty elevated the Duke to the rank of Duke.

The purpose is to keep everyone motivated to improve.

To prevent them from suddenly reaching the highest level and losing their motivation and direction, instead focusing all their attention on enjoyment.

Of course, if this were an ordinary empire or dynasty, adding more official titles and ranks would not make much difference.

He's already at the very top of the country. What's the point of adding another 10,000 levels to his level?
The Celestial Empire is different; the different ranks represent true power and the share of national fortune.

Especially the Honorary Rank, which can almost stay with you for a lifetime.

Even if one is stripped of their current official position, their honorary rank will not be revoked.

Because there is still a great deal of room for promotion above them, and because these official ranks and titles possess real power.

Therefore, everyone values ​​their own political achievements highly, and very few people would engage in illegal or disorderly conduct within their authority and political affairs.

Compared to immortality and supernatural powers, what are those worldly benefits gained through breaking the law?
Therefore, Li Zhonghe, the Imperial Academy Chancellor who was already in his fifties, still lost some of his usual composure and sense of propriety when it came to matters involving the future of education.

Wu Chang and others did not take this seriously.

If it were them, they might not be as good as Li Zhonghe.

The dynasty did want to remind people of some things.

In the end, however, he remained silent. Some things are better left for them to experience firsthand.

When Li Zhonghe arrived at the school gate excitedly, a stern-looking security guard immediately came out of the school's security office and blocked his way.

"This is a school site; outsiders are not allowed to enter!"

Nowadays, most schools do not have security guards.

However, schools in big cities like Beijing do have security guards.

Most of the children who attend school here come from wealthy or privileged backgrounds, so their safety is naturally a top priority.

It's not that the dynasty doesn't value the safety of other schools.

However, given the early state of the Celestial Empire, it would be difficult for him to equip every school with security guards.

Even in schools in big cities, the security guards are hired by wealthy and influential families who raise their own money.

As for whether this is somewhat unfair...
Well, there has never been absolute fairness in this world.

Even dynasties couldn't do that.

He can only guarantee general fairness and an upward mobility channel that will not be blocked.

Li Zhonghe was excitedly preparing to enter the school when he was stopped by a security guard who spoke coldly, causing him to pause slightly in surprise.

Didn't His Majesty say that, apart from them, no one else has entered the Immortal Realm yet?

So what's going on here?
However, in the next instant, Li Zhonghe realized something was wrong.

The security guard in front of me was far too calm.

Keep in mind that they were wearing court robes, and the emperor was even wearing a dragon robe.

How could an ordinary security guard possibly remain calm when he sees them?

Without thinking, Li Zhonghe began to carefully examine the security guard in front of him.

Her face was serious and cold, her eyes staring blankly at him, as if she were looking at him, yet also as if she didn't see him at all.

Upon seeing this, Li Zhonghe couldn't help but show a thoughtful expression.

Turning his head to look at the primary school in front of him, Li Zhonghe's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately smiled and said:
"Young man, I've come here to find a student."

However, the security guard remained completely unmoved, mechanically stating:

"No outsiders are allowed to enter the school premises!"

Upon seeing this, Li Zhonghe finally understood that the security guard in front of him was just a mechanical puppet who could only act according to fixed rules.

Is it
Without thinking, Li Zhonghe looked towards the school.

At this moment, Wu Chang and the others had also arrived. They first carefully examined the security guards, then looked at the school, and finally at Wang Chao.

"Hehe, just as you all thought."

This is a reflection of the human world.

Under normal circumstances, reflections of human life will not appear, not even in flowers, plants, or trees.

Upon hearing this, Wu Chang and the others thought for a moment.

It seemed to be true. Along their journey and from what they had seen when they were high in the sky, there really seemed to be no flowers, trees, or anything like that, let alone birds or insects.

Right before my eyes.
Everyone looked at the security guard in front of them again.

Isn't there a security guard here?

Even within schools, there are likely countless teachers and students learning.

On the other side, before anyone could ask, Wang Chao continued to explain.

"Under normal circumstances, there is indeed no reflection of human life in the celestial realm."

However, there are exceptions.

For example, strong emotions can give rise to powerful obsessions, which in turn form a reflection of the original body in both the celestial and underworld realms.

In addition, this phenomenon also occurs in places with a high degree of emotional and spiritual resonance.

For example, in a school, when a large number of students recite together, it can create a kind of emotional and spiritual resonance.

This allows spiritual power to condense and remain, ultimately influencing the power of both the celestial and underworld realms. Then, it projects the life forms within the school's boundaries to the corresponding schools in both the celestial and underworld realms.

That's it
After hearing Wang Chao's explanation, Wu Chang and the others all looked enlightened.

"Does that mean we can't go to school?"

At this moment, Li Zhonghe couldn't help but say something with some difficulty.

"Hehe, for semi-official institutions like schools, as long as the national fortune is mobilized, entry can be made easily."

Otherwise, if someone were to force their way in, the entire school environment would instantly collapse, and it wouldn't be reset until the next day.

Upon hearing this, Li Zhonghe couldn't help but say with some concern:
"If the school collapses, will it affect the students on Earth?"

"There is no impact. This is just the students' unconscious dissipation and the manifestation of their lingering spirituality due to emotional resonance."

Whether the school collapses or not, they will all disperse once the students leave school.

"Oh, that's good!"

"Let's go, let's take a look at the situation inside the school."

After they finished speaking, everyone used their official positions to mobilize the nation's fortune, escorting the dynasty toward the school.

This time, the security guard did not stop them as expected, but mechanically returned and opened the school gate for everyone.

After everyone entered, the sound of reading became even clearer.

Upon arriving at the school classroom, everyone could see rows of students sitting inside, mechanically reciting the text.

Although their facial expressions were slightly more varied than those of the security guards, and there were even occasional whispers among them.

However, everyone present could see through the deception.

Mechanical and hollow, it's like a pre-programmed routine, like a puppet show.

Even though they already knew what was going on, the scene before them still sent a chill down everyone's spine.
