Origin Court: Accepting Disciples With A System
Chapter 167 Letting Him OffEveryone in the hall could not help but gasp in shock as they stared at the sky in disbelief. In the third region, no one knew much about the Saint King Realm, much more when it came to people who broke through the Saint Emperor Realm.
Even Yang Lujia was quite speechless with the sudden appearance of the lightning above the sect master’s hall of the Sirin Grave Sect. What was more frightening was that almost a fourth of the third region’s skies were occupied by these dancing lightnings, roaring like dragons about to punish somebody.
Tribulations like this happen when someone breaks through the Saint Emperor Realm. Other than it being a test, the Will of Da Shikong wouldn’t allow several Saint Emperors to be born in his realm. Otherwise, he’d find it hard to accommodate all of them, implicating him and forcing him to make a move. As the ruler and Will of this realm, he might have had the power to force people out or control them, but it wasn’t the same case for Saint Emperors.
Hence, as long as these cultivators could survive his tribulation, they would be let go. However, if they didn’t comply with the natural laws of the realm, they would immediately be eliminated by the Will of Da Shikong.
It was different in Da Shikong. Those cultivators above the Saint Emperor might be able to hide from the Will, but they would not be able to hide forever. If they came out and showed the extent of their powers, the Will of Da Shikong would be alerted.
This was why the Will of Da Shikong confronted Yang Lujia. He could feel that this man was bringing with him several people, but he couldn’t see any of them. The Will’s cultivation was enough to probe into Yang Lujia’s depth. Instead, he was scared—especially when his creator told him to leave this man alone but monitor him in a way he wouldn’t notice.
Yang Lujia did not know anything about this, but he was aware that somebody seemed to have been monitoring his movements, especially even after he came into this world. The once-a-gut-feeling seemed to have been solidified after he met and talked with the Will of Da Sishen.
After contemplating things, Yang Lujia disappeared from where he originally was and went up to the sky, staring at the lightning rolling through the skies. “It seems like breaking through the Saint Emperor Realm isn’t as easy as I thought it was. I wonder how I was able to escape these tribulations before. I assume that I am stronger than Saint Emperors. Even the Will did not refuse my entry here in Da Shikong, despite the things he said about the people I carried with me.”
“Host, your breakthroughs are facilitated by Fortuniel. Fortuniel has acquired the passive ability to avoid these tribulations or signs because you told me to keep your cultivation level a secret from you.”
“Is that so? When can you reveal my cultivation level, though? It’s actually quite annoying trying to gauge my own strength against others. Anyway, when will you be able to do that… like reveal my cultivation level?”
“Host, it depends on the upgrades Fortuniel gets upon completing your missions with your disciples,” Fortuniel replied.
“That long? How am I supposed to complete them that fast? When do you think your upgrade will include revealing my cultivation level?”
“Probably on the fourth upgrade and above. Fortuniel is also not certain, Host.”
Yang Lujia simply went silent and looked back up to the sky. “Will of Da Shikong, are you there?”
“Yes,” a majestic voice sounded. “What do you want? You’re the human from before, right?”
“Yes, I am. Are you the one who triggered this lightning tribulation, if I may ask?” Yang Lujia acted very politely, clearly not to arouse any suspicion from the Will of Da Shikong.
“Yes, someone is breaking through right below you. If possible, I don’t want more Saint Emperors in this realm. Moreover, that fellow below seemed to be breaking through at the peak of the Saint Emperor Realm. He could already be on par with the strongest of this realm,” the Will of Da Shikong replied.
“Is that so?” Yang Lujia’s interest was piqued the moment the Will mentioned the Saint Emperor Realm. “If I tell you that the one below is my friend, would you leave him alone? Moreover, I won’t stay here in Da Shikong for years anyway. Eventually, I will go to the upper realms.”
“Hmm?” The Will of Da Shikong was somewhat baffled. “Even if he’s your friend, why would you not let him undergo the lightning tribulation? Moreover, even if you plead with me not to strike him with my—”
“You can try, though,” Yang Lujia said as his eyes went sharp all of a sudden. “Although you are the Will of Da Shikong, in my eyes, you’re nothing but an ant. If I tell you I can destroy this entire realm, would you not believe me?”
Of course, Yang Lujia was trying his best to threaten this existence. Otherwise, Cai Hong would bear the brunt of his lightning tribulations. He couldn’t let him undergo such a thing. As long as he was one of his people, no one but him could touch him.
“Let it go,” a voice then echoed into the Will of Da Shikong, ordering him to let this matter go. Although it was strange for his creator to try to persuade him, he nonetheless followed and made all the lightning disappear.

A/N: I am still busy with schoolwork. I’m sorry if the other nine chapters would be delayed (for the Privilege section), but I’ll try my best to comply with all of them within the same day or the day after tomorrow. My sleep has been sacrificed too much already. I need some rest to ease my mind from all the pressure and work. However, no worries, I will really update the nine (9) chapters as soonest as I can.
