Chapter 12496

Lin Yi was searching for information about the Five Sages of the Aristocratic Families.

Thanks to Nie Huichuan's appearance, most of the members of the Heavenly Palace Twelve Groups were transferred away. Now the Heavenly Palace Archives is almost empty, with no one guarding it except for the array protection.

In his presence, the formation was nothing but decoration.

Even so, accurately finding the information you want is not an easy task.

The Heavenly Palace Archives houses a vast collection of historical documents and information from the entire Heavenly Prefecture; it is no exaggeration to say that it is as vast as the ocean.

Normally, let alone an outsider, even an insider would need several days to retrieve specific information.

Fortunately, Lin Yi didn't need to flip through each book one by one.

With the world's will unleashed, Lin Yi directly activated the full-scale search mode.

At this moment, he was like a human supercomputer, scanning all the books and information within his sight at an extremely fast speed.

Lin Yi couldn't possibly remember everything; with the amount of information here, his brain would explode.

What he is doing now is simply using the world's will to retrieve relevant information, and only after the information is retrieved will he need to carefully distinguish it.

Even so, the workload was still enormous.

The gains were naturally substantial.

"I see."

After reading through everything, Lin Yi finally had a general idea of ​​the Five Saints of the Aristocratic Families.

As he had expected, even in the Heavenly Palace Archives, there was no direct information related to the Five Saints.

All the information he retrieved was roundabout and veiled.

If you only look at a few of them individually, you'll likely be completely confused.

Only by listing everything out and verifying each point against the others can we arrive at a complete picture.

First of all, they are not the Five Sages of the Aristocratic Families.

According to these clues, when the Tianjun aristocratic family first rose to prominence, there were six people who took the lead and were known as the Six Saints of the Aristocratic Family.

However, for some reason, the five saints joined forces to kill the sixth saint and wiped out his entire family.

Only one person remained.

Nie returned to Chuan.

The most wicked man in Tianjun who is confronting Zhang Baiyu at this moment is the last surviving son of the Sixth Saint. He has a blood feud with the Five Saints, which is why he wants to pay for his debt in blood.

As for why the Five Saints of the Aristocratic Clan could not directly attack him, it was because when their ancestors joined forces to kill the Sixth Saint, they were cursed by the Sixth Saint.

If they make a move against Nie Huichuan, they will immediately suffer a backlash from the Heavenly Dao.

Nobody dared to take that risk.

In addition, there is another extremely important piece of information.

The fact that the five sages of the aristocratic family passed down their knowledge from generation to generation means that they have mastered the method of locking in the quota of the four-zhang Dharma Image.

A carrot and a pit.

If Lin Yi advances to the three-zhang Dharma Aspect, then the four-zhang Dharma Aspect he originally occupied will be taken back and given to the next expert who advances to the four-zhang Dharma Aspect.

As for who gets the shares, Lin Yi has no control over that.

Intervention is only possible if one controls the loopholes in the allocation of slots, just as one controls loopholes in the race track.

Otherwise, the buying and selling of the four-zhang Dharma Image quota would have been out of the question.

The Five Sages of the Aristocratic Clan clearly had access to similar loopholes.

They can designate their four-zhang (approximately 6.6 meters) Dharma image quota to their next successor.

In this way, the status of the Five Saints of the Aristocratic Families can be ensured forever, and the entire Tianjun County will never be able to escape their grasp.

However, this method has one drawback.

Lifespan of 100 years.

For ordinary people, living to a ripe old age is a blessing, but for experts of this caliber, it is nothing short of a vicious curse.

Each successor of the Five Saints of the aristocratic family, once they take over the position of Four-Zhang Dharma Image, means that they have also taken over this curse.

After a hundred years, it will turn into a pile of yellow earth.

"From this perspective, the Five Saints of the Aristocratic Families are both a legacy and a curse."

Lin Yi's gaze was deep: "No wonder they tried to obtain a spot in the Three-Zhang Dharma Aspect. If they could advance to the Three-Zhang Dharma Aspect, they might be able to lift the curse."

In addition, Lin Yi also compiled some information.

However, compared to these two points, those are just scraps, which may come in handy in specific situations in the future.

The only regrettable thing is that, after searching the entire Heavenly Palace Archives, there was no direct clue related to the quota of the Three-Zhang Dharma Image.

But thinking about it, it's obvious that the Five Sages of the Aristocratic Clan would never allow such important information to remain in the Heavenly Palace Archives.

But in any case, this trip was worthwhile because it yielded some results.

After leaving the Heavenly Palace Archives, Lin Yi passed through the barrier again.

Zhang Baiyu, who had just been fiercely fighting Nie Huichuan and even seemed to have gained the upper hand, was suddenly knocked away in a sorry state once again.

Looking back, Lin Yi was standing right in front of him.

Zhang Baiyu was completely numb.

He didn't know how this guy sneaked in, nor did he know how he disappeared. Who would have thought he would suddenly reappear?

For a moment, Zhang Baiyu, the master of the Harmony with the World barrier, was quite confused.

"Excuse me."

Lin Yi glanced at Nie Huichuan, who was blocking his way.

He couldn't say whether he had any good or bad feelings towards this person who was considered the worst in Tianjun by everyone.

Whatever deep-seated hatred existed between them and the Five Saints of the Aristocratic Clan, that was their personal grudge, and Lin Yi had no intention of getting involved.

If they were to formally break ties with the Five Saints of the Aristocratic Clan in the future, this person might become a key ally, but it's hard to say exactly how much of an ally he could be.

Not to mention his unruly nature, even if he were forcibly recruited into the list of those who could be granted amnesty, given the fear the five sage families had of him, they would inevitably shift most of their attention to Lin Yi.

At that time, no matter what you do, countless eyes will be watching.

Instead, the gain outweighs the loss.

Nie Huichuan stared at Lin Yi with a strange expression, then burst into laughter: "Kid, you're not leaving now. It's fate that we met. You'd better stay here and be my bargaining chip!"

In that fierce battle just now, he had already suffered a considerable defeat at Zhang Baiyu's hands.

If Lin Yi hadn't suddenly intervened, he wouldn't have been able to break through this predicament so easily.

Looking back now.

As long as Lin Yi stands here, the "He Guang Tong Chen" strategy will crumble on its own, and killing Zhang Baiyu will be as easy as killing a chicken.

The people in the Heavenly Palace were all furious.

Just when it seemed the situation was settled and Nie Huichuan was about to be crushed, things took an unexpected turn.

"What are you standing there for! Hurry up and kill this idiot!"

Someone couldn't help but shout.

Under the watchful eyes of the entire audience, Liu Aozhi finally made up his mind: "Activate the Heavenly Dao Kill!"

The Heavenly Path Killer was already prepared. With a single command, a deep purple beam of light pierced the sky and entered the Harmony with the World barrier.

It landed precisely where Lin Yi was positioned.

"Get out of the way!"

Zhang Baiyu frowned and reminded him.

But it was too late.

Once the Heavenly Path Killing attack lands, it leaves no time for anyone to react.

Within the coverage area, those under the Five-Zhang Dharma Form were instantly killed.
