Chapter 12576

There's always another mountain higher than the one you climb.

They regard ordinary people as ants, but in the eyes of someone like Lin Yi, aren't they also ants?

Upon entering the Heavenly King Hall, Lin Yi immediately felt an immense pressure, like a towering iceberg, making it impossible for him to advance an inch.

However, this oppressive aura was completely ineffective against Lin Yi, and it did not stop him in the slightest.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
Several crisp claps rang out, followed by a slightly shrill male voice.

"As expected of someone who can rival the Five Saints of the Aristocratic Families, there aren't many people who can maintain such composure in front of me."

"Especially in a small place like Tianjun."

Two figures immediately came into Lin Yi's view.

The leader was unremarkable in appearance. At first glance, he looked like a refined scholar, and judging from his appearance alone, one might even think that he was too weak to kill a chicken.

But this one is an absolute master of the Four-Zhang Dharma Form.

Zhao Shirong!
Through the intelligence gathered by Lü Bukui, Lin Yi gained some basic understanding of this person he had never met before.

Of course, the other party has been away from Tianjun for at least thirty years. Now that he has suddenly returned to Tianjun as a four-zhang Dharma Aspect expert, it is hard to say how much reference value his previous information still has.

However, Lin Yi was more concerned about the follower who was following Zhao Shirong.

Xu Longyin?
Lin Yi never expected that his old friend, whom he had sent out to manage the business, would actually appear in Tianjun with Zhao Shirong.

While Lin Yi was shocked, Xu Longyin was also frowning.

He naturally didn't know anything about the "Ending Monster," but he was all too familiar with Lin Yi's demonic mask.

As one of the core members of the Lin Yi Group, he naturally knew that Lin Yi was currently in Tianjun.

One of the main reasons I came to Tianjun with Zhao Shirong this time was to inquire about Lin Yi's whereabouts at the request of many people.

With the demon mask concealing Lin Yi's face, even if his expression changed, the other party would have difficulty noticing.

Zhao Shirong could clearly see the subtle expression on Xu Longyin's face.

"what happened?"

Zhao Shirong valued this subordinate highly.

Although the recruitment period was not long, this person is extremely shrewd in interpersonal relationships and has excellent work skills; at most, he is just a little lacking in ability.

Overall, it's quite easy to use.

Xu Longyin snapped out of her daze and immediately returned to normal: "It's nothing, I just felt that the mask this person was wearing looked rather familiar."

Zhao Shirong turned to look at Lin Yi: "I'll get straight to the point. My name is Zhao Shirong, and I am an examiner for the Xuanwu Divine Association in the Divine Realm Open Zone."

"This time I returned to Tianjun mainly to review the candidates for the Three-Zhang Dharma Aspect position, and you are my first target for review."

After a pause, Zhao Shirong narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "The first step of the investigation is for you to put away your mask."

"can."

Lin Yi did not resist and immediately put away the demon mask.

Upon seeing his face clearly, Xu Longyin couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed.

Lin Yi's current appearance is that of the End of the Old Monster, so he is not showing his true self.

Are the rumors wrong?

Xu Longyin felt a surge of suspicion.

Although Tianjun was under lockdown, it wasn't completely cut off from the news. Many people believed that Lin Yi was very likely related to the Termination Society.

Unfortunately, the person in front of him was clearly not what he had expected.

Lin Yi did not reveal his identity, but looked directly at Zhao Shirong and said, "This is the first time I've heard of the quota review. Could you please explain it to me in detail?"

Zhao Shirong looked him up and down, then suddenly smiled knowingly: "Aren't you a four-zhang Dharma Aspect master? How did you get your four-zhang Dharma Aspect quota?"

Lin Yi remained expressionless: "I bought it from someone else."

"You are sincere."

Zhao Shirong gave him a deep look: "According to the normal procedure, starting from the four-zhang Dharma form, all quotas must be applied for from the various levels of the Divine Council. Buying and selling quotas privately is illegal."

Lin Yi showed a perfectly timed look of astonishment: "There's such a thing? I've never heard of anything like this in Tianjun."

"Heh, what can you possibly hear in a small, closed-off place like Tianjun?"

Zhao Shirong scoffed, then changed the subject: "But you don't know, those old fogies from the Five Saints of the Aristocratic Families definitely know, but they haven't mentioned it to you?"

Lin Yi replied calmly, "I'm not familiar with them."

"I think it's not that they're not familiar with each other, but rather that they have a grudge against each other."

Zhao Shirong smirked: "You don't need to hide it. I'll be frank. I have a grudge against them too, and I've come back to take my revenge."

"As long as you cooperate well, I guarantee you will get what you want, obtain the three-zhang Dharma form quota, and also get rid of those old bastards."

Are you interested?

Lin Yi's expression immediately showed interest: "Are you serious?"

Zhao Shirong said with a serious face: "I am an examiner of the Xuanwu Divine Society, not some country bumpkin from a small place who would mistake petty scheming for wisdom."

"What I say is, of course, true."

Lin Yi hesitated for a moment and said, "If you can guarantee me a spot in the Three-Zhang Dharma Aspect, I am willing to cooperate fully with whatever you ask."

Zhao Shirong was not surprised at all, and smiled smugly: "He's a man who knows how to adapt to the times."

With the three-zhang Dharma Image quota luring him in, he wasn't worried at all that Lin Yi wouldn't take the bait.

If it were the Divine Realm Open Zone, although the quota for the Three-Zhang Dharma Aspect would also be fiercely contested, there would be other ways to obtain it besides his, and everyone would have other options.

But in this Tianjun, if you miss this opportunity, you'll never have another chance.

Lin Yi tentatively asked, "What exactly is the process for the quota review? I hope you can enlighten me."

"Easy to say."

Zhao Shirong gestured for Lin Yi to sit down, and said while eating, "To reach the level of four zhang Dharma Aspect or above, one must be recognized by the major divine assemblies in order to obtain the corresponding quota and advance to the next level. I'm sure you know this, right?"

Lin Yi then asked, "I have some guesses, but I'm not sure if they're correct."

Zhao Shirong said with a hint of sarcasm, "Tell me about it."

Lin Yi frankly said, "I speculate that the power of the origin of the rules is limited. When the level is low, it can be used at will, but it is only a drop in the ocean."

"But once you reach a high enough level, the amount of primal power you need to mobilize increases, and then it's not enough."

"Only those who are recognized can be granted the corresponding authority and continue to mobilize more of the fundamental power of the rules. Am I right?"

Zhao Shirong's eyes lit up: "You guessed all of this yourself?"

Lin Yi said frankly, "It's just a wild guess, please forgive my ignorance."

"It's quite impressive that you could guess this far."

Zhao Shirong looked approving: "You're right. That's roughly how it is. There's only one person who truly holds the ultimate authority, and that's the Creator God."
