Volume 1 Chapter 19 One Country, One City, One Academy
The sun is gradually rising, and the temperature is about to reach the maximum of the day.
Ren Tianxiang had to rein in the horse's head and let the horse stop on the side of the road. He took out his water bag and poured a few mouthfuls of water, which slightly relieved the heat along the way.
Not far ahead, it was Star City, the capital of the Star Imperial Kingdom, his destination, and he could already see the towering walls of Star City when he looked ahead.
At this time, more than three days had passed since he entered the territory of the Star Emperor Kingdom, and in the past four days, in addition to stopping to eat and sleep, and for convenience, he had basically traveled between the major teleportation stations.
Rao is with his physical quality, and at this time, he also feels as if his body is about to fall apart.
Ren Tianxiang set out from the Dragon King Empire's Riston Mountain, and it took him more than five days to arrive at Hongyi City, which was located in the Yokolu Mountain Range, and then it took more than three days to use the teleportation array from Hongyi City to Beihuang Town, which was in the north of Star City.
For the sake of defense and security, there was no teleportation array in the Star City, but four satellite cities were set up in the four directions of the Star City. In addition to the transmission traffic from all directions, these four cities also undertake the commercial transactions diverted from the Star City. It is also these businesses that have diverted from the star city that have made the economy of these four satellite cities develop rapidly.
And Ren Tianxiang had suffered for nearly ten days, and seeing that Star City was in front of him, he was finally relieved in his heart, at least he had rushed to Star City before the start of the Star Emperor Royal Academy.
The Star Emperor was established at the beginning of the Middle Dragon Era, about 10,000 years ago. It was only three years after the meteorite "Amorgut" hit the Northern Continent, the Dragon King was driven to the Eastern Continent, and many enslaved races on the Dragon God Continent revolted one after another and established their own regimes.
At that time, Xingqiu, who was originally the governor of the South China Sea Province of the Dragon King Empire, and Xuanyuan Qingtian, the military commander of the South China Sea Province, established a country on the southern continent with the Star Clan as the core, and the capital was chosen as the capital of the South China Sea Province, which is now Star City.
Because Xingqiu's strength was at the peak of the god level at that time, the level converted into a spirit beast was the emperor level, so Xingqiu named the country Star Emperor. However, the separate classification of spirit beasts was abolished after the opening of the Chaos Dragon Era, and now both monks and spirit beasts use the classification method of monks.
Because there is no invasion of the dragon clan, and there are many political regimes on the Dragon God Continent, everyone has the ambition to unify the Dragon God Continent, so since the Middle Dragon Era, the Dragon God Continent has been in constant disputes.
The founding emperor of the Star Emperor State, Xingqiu, spent fifty-one years to unify the Southern Continent, and it was not until 6492 of the Middle Dragon Era that the then Emperor Xingdao of the Star Emperor State unified the Northern Continent, creating a situation in which the Star Emperor State unified the continent.
At the end of the Middle Dragon Era, that is, in 8972 of the Middle Dragon Era, the Dragon King returned to the Northern Continent and established the Dragon King Empire, and the rule of the Star Emperor Kingdom in the Northern Continent was declared to be over.
The Star Emperor Kingdom has existed for more than nine thousand seven hundred years, once unified the continent, and has countless top powerhouses, even such a powerful Dragon King Empire is still afraid of the terrifying national power of the Star Emperor Kingdom.
Among them, the one that caused the Dragon King the most headache was the Star Emperor Kingdom's Great Protector Array, the Sky Shifting Star Array.
This array was built in the 90th year of the Zhonglong Era, presided over by the founding emperor Xingqiu, and took 62 years. After this, Xinglang, the son of the Star Dao, completed the coverage of the Heavenly Shifting Star Array in the Northern Continent in 6571 A.D. However, due to the lack of accumulation, when the Dragon King returned, the Sky Shifting Star Array in the Northern Continent was destroyed, and the Star Emperor Kingdom lost the territory of the Northern Continent.
Let's talk about Star City, the capital of the Star Emperor State, Star City was originally Haicheng, the capital of the South China Sea Province of the Dragon Dynasty, and after the founding of the Star Emperor State, it was established as the capital and renamed Star City.
As the capital of the Star Empire, Star City is the best developed city in the Star Empire, and almost all the novelties in the empire can be seen in this city, and the Dragon Society has even established a branch in the northern part of the city and carried out a modernization plan in the northern part of the city.
Star City originally had a wall of less than ten meters, but after it was established as the capital, this wall was demolished, and the prototype of the current city wall was built.
Nine thousand years ago, Xingqiu may have anticipated the development of Star City, so after the new city wall, the scope of Star City was dozens of times that of the original range. The walls of the Star City are eighteen meters high, which is the standard height of the Star Empire. There are tens of thousands of large and small magic circles engraved on the city walls, and some of the magic circles on the four city walls also form important nodes of the Sky Shifting Star Array.
And Ren Tianxiang also knew that since the Dragon Society's support plan began, not only the four cities in the north of the Star Emperor Kingdom had been equipped with the Dragon Society's main gun-level weapons, but even within this Star City, the Dragon Society's planetary defense system had been established, the Yi-level defense system, which included the Dragon Society's most powerful weapon, "Kungunir".
As for the Star Emperor Royal Academy that Xuanyuan Qingtian asked Ren Tianxiang and Ren Tianxiang to go to, Ren Tianxiang also heard Xuanyuan Qingtian talk about it.
This academy was founded by Xing Zhuqing, the seventeenth emperor of the Star Empire.
The original purpose of this emperor in founding this academy was to improve the overall strength of the Star Emperor Imperial Family, therefore, this academy was founded to only accept children under the age of twenty of the Star Emperor Imperial Family.
In the Middle Dragon Era, this academy would send more than a dozen god-level powerhouses and even phantom-level powerhouses to the front line almost every year. And the prestige of the Star Emperor Royal Academy's "First Academy of the Empire" was also there at that time.
By the time of the 32nd Emperor Xingjian, at the request of many ministers, the emperor decided that the Star Emperor Royal Academy was officially open to the nobles of the empire. From dukes to barons, whether they are honorary nobles or hereditary nobles, as long as they pay a certain amount of tuition every year, their children can study in the Star Emperor Royal Academy.
It lasted until the year 6492 of the Middle Dragon Era, when His Majesty the Star Dao unified the continent and announced that the Star Emperor Royal Academy was officially open to the entire empire, and both nobles and commoners could study this academy as long as they were qualified and under the age of twenty.
At the same time, His Majesty the Star Dao also set up thirty recommendation envoys in the Star Emperor Royal Academy.
These recommendations are distributed all over the Star Emperor Kingdom, looking for those students who have talent but have no way to go to the Star Emperor Royal Academy to register from the grassroots level, which greatly improves the quality of the academy's students, and also opens up a path of brilliant achievements for those talented children from poor families.
Therefore, the 30 recommenders of the academy are very respected by the students of the academy, and at the same time, the status of these 30 recommenders is also transcendent.
It was also from that time that His Majesty the Star Dao established the Imperial Academy Contest every ten years.
All the Empire's academies will participate in the competition, and the "Top Ten Colleges of the Empire" will be determined and awarded the title of Superior Academy. However, what is shocking is that the Star Emperor Royal Academy has won three hundred and twenty-six championship trophies in the previous academy competitions.
The academy competition a month later that Xuanyuan Qingtian said was the 327th academy competition of the Star Emperor Kingdom.
Coincidentally, Ren Tianxiang's master, Xuanyuan Qingtian, was the first generation of recommenders, so he had the power to directly send Ren Tianxiang to the Star Emperor Royal Academy.
Of course, Ren Tianxiang was able to be approved by the Star Emperor Royal Academy, and his personal factors accounted for a large part of the proportion, and he didn't rely on Xuanyuan Qingtian to enter the Star Emperor Royal Academy through the back door.
