Chapter 691: Chapter 653 Seventh Realm Divine Power_2
Lin Yi is now both expectant and angry.
Expectant naturally because her main spirit can return to her body, not only to accompany her brother in the Heavenly Demon Origin, but also to gradually experience her own mories.
Angry because of that Invincible Dharma King. Who is that person? How could they threaten her brother’s life? What good are the bodyguards around her brother if they could just watch him being taken away?
anwhile, Lin Yi also feels slightly dissatisfied with her sister Lin Xi. This sister ddles too much, loves nagging her, scolds her, and it’s maddening.
A mont later, Lin Yi’s wandering thoughts were interrupted by her self-appointed ‘Chief Advisor,’ who handed over the case files and handling suggestions for the ongoing trials to her.
The so-called ‘Chief Advisor,’ in modern terms, ans Chief of Staff, personally hired by Lin Yi, leading all advisors, secretaries, and other staff.
This ‘Chief Advisor’ is said to be a strong martial cultivator of the Eighth Realm Emperor Rank, sent over from East Asia with his alien na ‘Cheng Zhendao.’ His real na is unknown.
Not long ago, when Lin Yi was on a local inspection tour, this man helped fend off two waves of assassins, earning Lin Yi’s trust.
Lin Yi looked at the case files and the people present in the courtroom.
On one side was the Fourth Rank Crimson Robed Chief Constable of Jingzhao Prefecture, and on the other was a local tycoon surnad Xu.
This local squire, with bloodstains all over him and a fearful, pale face, owned about 3400 acres of land. Not long ago, he purchased a batch of Heavenly Demon gene-altered silkworm seeds, known for their high yield, discovered by this Fourth Rank Crimson Robed Chief Constable, who specializes in inspecting heavenly demons, and was arrested and incarcerated. Ultimately, both Jingzhao Prefecture and the Ministry of Justice sentenced him to the extre penalty, confiscating and selling off his family estate.
Luckily, this Xu’s wife’s family also had so connections and, unsatisfied with the verdict, continued to appeal to Lin Xi, the Imperial Censor of Silk and Tea.
According to the Great Song’s system, the Ministry of Justice is equivalent to the Federation’s Supre Court, but Lin Xi, as the Imperial Censor of Silk and Tea, had the right to oversee and re-examine the case.
Cheng Zhendao believes soone covets Xu’s land. According to the laws of the Great Song, colluding with heavenly demons indeed warrants lifelong exile or extre penalty. However, confiscating and selling off Xu’s estate seems excessive.
But Lin Yi saw a line in the case files: “Xu Lin, did you purchase your Heavenly Demon silkworm seeds from a company called ‘Forest Group’?”
That local squire surnad Xu nervously bowed and said: “Indeed! I bought these seeds from a heavenly demon peddler, who claid to co from the ‘Forest Group’ Forest Alien Body Company, responsible for selling various heavenly demon goods. This person roams without a permanent shop, and I can no longer find them. However, these seeds all bear the unique mark of ‘Forest.’
Recently, this ‘Forest Alien Body Company’ has been selling a wide range of heavenly demon goods, such as seeds, clothing, and farming tools, near Luojing.
The local squire surnad Xu saw everyone buying and using them, so he did the sa, not expecting such a disaster to befall him.
Lin Yi nodded, extending her jade-like hand: “Is there evidence of this Heavenly Demon Jade Silkworm? Bring it here for a look.”
Those present, unsure of what to make of this, watched the head officer from the Imperial Censorate deliver a white jade silkworm to Lin Yi’s hand.
Lin Yi concentrated and sensed the unique ‘Forest Group’ trademark on the forehead of the silkworm, grown naturally after DNA modification.
In her palm, a golden spiritual light appeared, wings of gold unfolded behind her, revealing the virtual image of a golden scale.
A mont later, Lin Yi tossed the silkworm back to the local squire surnad Xu: “Though this jade silkworm is a heavenly demon product, witnessed by my God, neither the ‘Forest Group’ nor these seeds pose a threat to my Great Song, therefore Xu Lin is not guilty. After the court is dismissed, you may return ho.”
She then cast a warning glance at the Fourth Rank Crimson Robed Chief Constable of Jingzhao Prefecture: “If you are dissatisfied with my judgnt, you may appeal to the Divine Envoy.”
This tactic was taught by her sister, and Lin Yi has used it many tis, always successfully.
In the courtroom, led by Cheng Zhendao, Lin Yi’s advisors exchanged glances, thinking how reckless it was of the Divine Law Heavenly Girl to disregard the Great Song’s laws in such a judgnt.
But, representing the will of the Divine Law Venerable—
Cheng Zhendao cleared his throat, forcibly explaining on Lin Yi’s behalf: “Gentlen, the current court urgently needs to open new sources of revenue and increase taxes; Cabinet Minister Lin Hao has advised this on the East Abyss. Heavenly demon products beneficial to our Great Song should be used; those unbeneficial should be rejected, using heavenly demon tools to counter heavenly demons.
And although these seeds co from heavenly demons, they increase silk production, greatly benefiting the people. Furthermore, the Great Song is about to open sea trade; by then, such goods will be legal, and Xu Lin has neither colluded with heavenly demons nor harbored any acts harming our Great Song. Therefore, Minister Yuan has judged Xu Lin not guilty.”
The Fourth Rank Crimson Robed Chief Constable paled slightly, not daring to act rashly before the Divine Law Heavenly Girl.
He dared not appeal to the Divine Envoy, for before him was the Divine Law Heavenly Girl, representing the Divine Law Venerable, deserving of reverence even from the three Divine Envoys.
The next case for retrial involved the Chunzhou Inspection Departnt uncovering a large batch of drugs in several heavenly demon warehouses, which by law needed to be processed through her office as the dicine and Salt Imperial Censor.
Lin Yi directly turned to the end to check the handling of the contraband.
The Chunzhou Inspection Departnt planned to store these items in Chunzhou Prefecture’s treasury, so Lin Yi picked up her pen, anding the directive to transfer the contraband to the Imperial City Departnt’s treasury for safekeeping.
Cheng Zhendao shook his head slightly at Lin Yi’s sentencing.
If these contraband items were placed in local treasuries, they would soon be “rotted away” due to poor storage and then embezzled by the corrupt local officials.
However, sending them to the Imperial City Departnt’s treasury isn’t much better, with so ending up in the Hidden Crown Prince’s pocket.
Moreover, how could seized contraband from the Inspection Departnt be sent to the Imperial City Departnt? It’s utterly reckless.
Cheng Zhendao always wondered how this ‘Divine Law Heavenly Girl’ before him won the favor of the Divine Law Venerable.
The third case was similar to the first, but the accused purchased ‘rice tubers’ seeds cultivated by heavenly demons.
Rice tubers are a common crop on Sky Extre Star, a staple for its people, and these heavenly demon cultivated seeds could increase production by nearly 70%.
However, in this case, the accused didn’t purchase from Forest Group’s peddlers but from another heavenly demon company called ‘Abyss.’
Lin Yi pondered for a mont and, under the expectant eyes of the accused, adjudicated a remand for retrial.
Her brother suggested encouraging the people of the Sky Extre Star to use heavenly demon goods to increase yield and inco.
But since this case was unrelated to her brother’s company, she spared herself the trouble.
Ruling a remand for retrial would delay the case until the Great Song officially opened its ports, which was ample ti.
Her advisors collectively covered their faces, thinking how blatant the favoritism of this Divine Law Heavenly Girl was! It’s utterly unrestrained.
How could this really be okay? Wouldn’t it lead to losing divine favor?
Lin Yi, at this mont, uttered a surprised sound, feeling her spine warming slightly.
“Is this the Divine Power Pillar, have I reached the Seventh Realm?”
Her sister Lin Xi had said her brother would implant the Divine Power Pillar into her body, and her alien body would synchronize into this realm.
The so-called ‘Divine Power Pillar’ is the spinal bone of a Seventh Realm Martial Cultivator, helping connect to the Heavenly Curtain and communicate with divine spirits.
At this realm, martial cultivators can officially access Conceptual Power, using their Martial Intent to touch the Heavenly Curtain, leveraging the Conceptual Power of divine spirits.
They would also have sufficient Primordial Spirit Power to resist divine pollution and erosion when using concepts.
This Conceptual Power is also called Divine Skills.
Just then, Principal Advisor Cheng Zhendao’s face changed dramatically. He saw Lin Yi radiating dazzling divine light; nurous golden ribbons ford by the law concept extended from behind her, resembling a pair of massive golden wings.
Cheng Zhendao also anxiously glanced at the sky, seeing a huge figure three hundred feet above the office.
The figure’s features were obscured, but the eyes seed almost corporeal, gazing down at Lin Yi.
Cheng Zhendao only glanced once, his eyes bleeding nonstop, forcing him to lower his head and half-kneeled with an arduous voice: “Divine Law Venerable!”
Is this manifestation again in favor of Yuan Keke?
