In the fifty-fifth year of Yuan Feng, on the twenty-third day of the fifth month.
This day was of great significance.
Emperor Qi would personally attend The Imperial Ancestral Temple to worship the ancestors.
Then, in the presence of the Jiang Family's royal ancestors, he would select talents for the nation, offer encouragement in person, so that they may fight at the Yellow River Gathering.
And the nation's proud sons had to, under the watchful eyes of the Son of Heaven and all the people, showcase their exceptional talents, to prove they indeed possessed the qualifications to represent Qi Country in battle.
By then, civil and military officials would all be present, and the members of The Royal Family would attend.
Residents of Linyi City over a hundred years old who were not cultivators, along with ninety-nine randomly selected households from the clan mansions, would all come to the site to watch.
This was known as the "Grandmaster's Rite."
