Chapter 12672
Lin Yi pondered for a moment and asked, "What does it mean that the applicant has made a significant contribution to the overall level of their region?"
Xu Longyin replied, "The Xuanwu Divine Society has a tiered system for all its jurisdictions, and the higher the tier, the more slots a region receives."
"Generally speaking, the number of slots for each region is roughly fixed."
"For example, if a certain district limits the number of three-zhang Dharma Aspects to ten, then unless a master of the three-zhang Dharma Aspects in that district dies or his strength improves, his three-zhang Dharma Aspects spot will become available for other masters in that district to compete for."
"The rules of the Xuanwu Divine Society are basically the same as those of other divine societies."
Lin Yi found it increasingly strange: "Quota allocation system? How many quotas does Tian County have?"
"No."
Xu Longyin shook his head and said, "Tianjun and the other thirteen counties of the Divine Realm are not under the jurisdiction of the Xuanwu Divine Association. They were all blank areas before, and were only recently brought under the jurisdiction of King Li Jin."
"So far, the higher-ups of the Xuanwu Divine Society are still discussing it and have not yet clearly allocated a number of slots to Tianjun."
"The most likely version to pass was to give Tianjun two four-zhang Dharma Aspects."
Lin Yi was taken aback: "Then what about my spot for the three-zhang Dharma form?"
Xu Longyin said, "It's highly likely that it will be the same as the four-zhang Dharma Aspect quota that you vacated this time, which will be taken back by the Xuanwu Divine Society after you are promoted or something happens to you."
Lin Yi immediately realized.
He advanced to the level of a three-zhang Dharma Aspect master, and the previous four-zhang Dharma Aspect master position naturally became vacant. If it were a normal allocation of positions, then this position would remain in Tianjun for other masters in Tianjun to compete for.
In fact, Lin Yi had indeed considered giving the spot to Zhang Baiyu.
Although Zhang Baiyu is now a master of the Four-Zhang Dharma Aspect, he is cursed with a lifespan of one hundred years, so he is not a complete master of the Four-Zhang Dharma Aspect.
If they could take over the spot vacated by Lin Yi, they could directly break the century-long curse.
Lin Yi was naturally pleased to see this happen.
After all, Zhang Baiyu has become the most capable assistant by my side during this period of time, without exception.
Unfortunately, this is something that can only be thought about.
"The difference between a circulating quota for a three-zhang-tall Dharma statue and a fixed quota for a three-zhang-tall Dharma statue is like night and day."
Xu Longyin sighed.
The former is only related to individuals, while the latter can become a huge chain of interests, which, if handled well, can even control the situation in a region!
To describe them as worlds apart would not be an exaggeration.
Lin Yi paused and said, "According to this logic, it will be even more difficult for me to stay in Tianjun and obtain a two-zhang Dharma Aspect quota."
If they can't even hold onto the three-zhang (approximately 9 meters) Dharma Image quota, how can they possibly hold onto the two-zhang (approximately 6 meters) Dharma Image quota?
Xu Longyin nodded and said, "It is indeed very difficult, but if you can do the ninth one, you still have a chance."
"As long as the overall strength of Tianjun reaches the corresponding level, and with the support of King Li Jin, if you want to obtain the two-zhang Dharma Aspect quota, even if the Huan family wants to stop you, they won't be able to!"
"Not only that, Boss, you can also keep the three-zhang Dharma Formation quota in Tianjun, thus maintaining a long-term influence over Tianjun!"
Lin Yi frowned and asked, "What exactly is the standard?"
Xu Longyin carefully analyzed: "The Xuanwu Divine Society's rating of the strength of its jurisdiction is mainly divided into two levels. One is the overall strength, which includes all cultivators in the jurisdiction, and is comprehensively evaluated by a special evaluation team."
"The other is the strength of the top experts in the jurisdiction, which means fighting against other jurisdictions in a tournament."
"Only when both of these standards are met can it be considered a true pass."
After a moment of digestion, Lin Yi commented, "This standard is reasonable."
The former requires boosting the strength of an entire region, which means that regardless of the method used, a sufficient contribution must be made to the region.
The latter is easier to understand.
Only by exploring the limits of one's current realm deeply enough can one have a chance to win in arena battles against top experts from other regions.
Conversely, if one cannot even explore the limits of their current level, then coveting a higher-level spot is futile.
Xu Longyin concluded, "In short, given the current situation, if you want to obtain a two-zhang Dharma Aspect quota in the Xuanwu Divine Assembly, this is the only feasible path."
Lin Yi pondered for a moment before finally making up his mind.
"Alright then, I'll focus on integrating Tianjun and put some effort into it."
Even if it weren't for the two-zhang Dharma Aspect quota, just for the opportunity to be from a fellow villager in the secular world, Lin Yi would still have to manage Tianjun well.
Today, Tianjun is his core business.
After sending Xu Longyin back to the open area of the Divine Realm, Lin Yi immediately summoned all the bigwigs of the powerful families.
This opportunity was something that all the major families were eager to seize.
After all, before this, they had found it difficult to even see Lin Yi.
Lin Yi's first words were earth-shattering.
"To build a new Heavenly Palace?"
The whole audience was boiling instantly.
This was to be expected. If Lin Yi really wanted to take over Tianjun, he would never have allowed the Termination Society to operate as an official institution.
Ultimately, the Finale is essentially a non-governmental organization created specifically for the racetrack.
If Lin Yi were to forcibly use it to rule Tianjun, it wouldn't be entirely impossible, but it would be somewhat incongruous.
The optimal solution is to rebuild a completely new Tiangong based on the existing Tiangong architecture.
"I've made the right choice coming today!"
The group of powerful family leaders looked at each other, their eyes filled with surprise and delight.
Anyone with eyes to see can see that today's event is not a simple meeting, but a power struggle to divide up the spoils!
Today's conference will directly determine the future landscape of Tianjun.
Whether these powerful families of Tianjun can protect their vested interests or go further depends on the outcome of today's conference!
Everyone immediately rubbed their hands together in anticipation.
When it comes to their own core interests, even the bigwigs of the top families can't care about their dignity at this moment, and they are all preparing to personally get involved in the fight for profit.
Lin Yi's next words left them all completely stunned.
"The first important thing in establishing the new Heavenly Palace is for everyone to contribute their treasured Dharma techniques."
After a brief moment of surprise, the entire audience erupted in uproar.
If Lin Yi hadn't been there, everyone would probably have rebelled immediately!
The core principles upon which major aristocratic families establish themselves are only two things.
Track loopholes, Dharma-like secret techniques.
This is their core interest.
As a result, Lin Yi now wants them to hand over the Dharma Aspect Secret Technique with just a few words. Even a fool would know that this is impossible!
Anyone who dares to agree will be drowned in the spittle of their clan upon returning home!
Seeing everyone's reaction, Lin Yi continued:
"I plan to establish a Heavenly Martial Hall to gather all the Dharma Aspect Secret Techniques of Tianjun. As long as they pass the relevant tests, all the disciples of Tianjun can enter the Heavenly Martial Hall and be taught Dharma Aspect Secret Techniques free of charge."
The scene erupted in another uproar. (End of Chapter)
