Origin Court: Accepting Disciples With A System

ALTHOUGH GU SHULI was one of the participants who had a high chance to enter the top 10, he still didn’t make it. After all, Yang Lujia was his opponent. This young man he fought froze him for a second and blasted him into tiny bits.

No other fancy moves. Yang Lujia just froze the space around him and use the time rules to stop time. He then slashed him with a qi-condensed sword. That one slash contained a thousand more others that it left the other party’s flesh blown into pieces.

Gu Shuli was from the Northern Territory. Sparing them would make Yang Lujia feel uncomfortable. This group of people had always been provoking them from time to time. It irked his ears so much that he just wanted to slaughter their territory.

If he did so, he would do Da Sishen a favor.

After all, demons, to everybody’s eyes, were evil in nature.

At least, that was their belief in them.

Going down the arena, the other people didn’t clamor unnecessarily as much as they did before. If Yang Lujia could defeat Sheng Fudi, he could probably defeat everyone in the competition.

However, he had not faced the black horses in the competition yet. He was just also too bored to pay attention to any of them. If not for Lin Diyu, he wouldn’t have done so.

To his eyes, it would not be a joke to say the competition became like a ten-thousand-year show.

In the next round of the competition, Yang Lujia was held on standby. He would not have an opponent, as decided by the presiding committee’s discussion with Xia Jieke._.

They had witnessed this kid’s prowess all this time. If Yang Lujia would kill every genius he would encounter in the next rounds, it would be a loss to the entire Da Sishen.

In the sea of crowd, two old men were sitting beside each other. One of them was the City Palace Lord’s clone and the other was a middle-aged-looking man who had a resemblance with City Lord Ice’s temperament and physical features.

“That kid called Cao Nima is promising. It’s just that his name seemed to be odd. Who would name such a talented child like that? Are his parents dumb or stupid?” The middle-aged man stroked his white beard in wonder. “I only came here to supervise my daughter’s unscrupulous actions, but I didn’t expect to see such a strong and good seedling.”

“This kid’s not simple, City Ancestor Bai Qian,” Xia Zhiguang’s clone solemnly replied. “Xia Jieke, my son, mentioned him to me before, telling me this kid was a bit strange in terms of anything he does.”

“So?” Bai Qian raised a brow, his arms already crossed across his chest.

Xia Zhiguang nodded. “Yes. I tried to divine him, but it only ended up getting me more injured. It’s fortunate that you’re here. Otherwise, I wouldn’t really be able to protect Death City with my current strength if someone would think of attacking it. After all, those demons had long coveted the Central Domain’s powerful influence.”

Bai Qian’s interest was piqued. His stare at Yang Lujia became strange. When he tried to probe into Yang Lujia’s cultivation level, Xia Zhiguang immediately stopped him.

“Don’t. You can’t do that. He’ll definitely be alerted. After all, he was probably the one I divined to save us all. It was just a hunch, but it made me feel like he would be the one.

“That attack that reached Death City from the Eastern Territory from before. It was only a tiny glowing ball of spiritual energy but it made me exhaust all of my energy to protect the city and the people to defend them from it.”

Bai Qian’s jaw dropped. “Do you mean to say he’s stronger than us? Does that mean it would be useless for him to go to the Valley of Gods?”

“It is indeed,” Xia Zhiguang said and sighed. “Alas! I can neither divine any of his future paths nor his purpose for entering the competition. Given his strength, he could just try to bribe us or something. But he chose to do this method.”

If they knew that Yang Lujia tried to be as low profile as before, they would probably vomit blood.

After all, Yang Lujia never had the intention to alert people like them who had both power and political connections, lest he’d provoke them into doing so. However, because of his performance, he already caught ‘their’ attention without him noticing it.

As cautious as he was, he still failed to see the lapses in his actions.

He wasn’t being low profile at all. But since he had been caught in this momentum, he could only follow the course of events. As long as he avoided trouble in his path, everything else would be fine. He believed.

“He must have a reason.” Bai Qian also fell into deep thought.

No longer trying to linger on these thoughts to confuse them further, Xia Zhiguang shifted the topic to another one. This time, it was the most serious thing they needed to tend to.

“Bai Qian, the Death Purge seemed to be sped up. I have divined it.”

Bai Qian’s eyes stretched wide. “What do you mean? That Death Purge mentioned in some books? It only happens after a hundred thousand years or so, right?”

“I said it seemed to be sped up by something I can’t foretell. It’s like someone is brewing something for a race or something,” Xia Zhiguang replied. “Are you even listening to me?”

“Right.”

“Also, do you recognize that the realm’s population had been increasing quite a lot? I really wonder who or what the catalyst is for triggering such a calamity quite this fast.”

Bai Qian also nodded in agreement. “I know a few about this Death Purge. In the books, I have read—”

“Do you even read books? You only keep stolen panties in your room, as far as I can remember.” Xia Zhiguang rolled his eyes, still staring at the ongoing matches in the arena.

Bai Qian blushed and almost wanted to slap the other party’s clone. “Do you really have to say that?” A minute later, he coughed. Then, he started talking about the Death Purge. “I’ve long known about this Death Purge. It was my father who told me before of what he knew.”

“What do you know about it? I only know that the Death Purge will start when that beast with nine heads will be summoned to Da Sishen. It was a beast especially nurtured by the Will of Da Sishen…”

Bai Qian heavily gave a nod. “Yes. Father said that when the Death Purge occurs, disaster will fall upon Da Sishen.”

“It won’t be called a Death Purge if it doesn’t. Do you expect to be called a dick if you’re some stretchable cave?”

“Stop it! I’m serious here!” Bai Qian really despised this fellow for his sarcastic remarks. He then let out a cough once more and continued what he was about to say. “It’s like that, a disaster. This disaster meant that a lot of the living beings in this realm would die. It was because Da Sishen’s Will could not accommodate any more living beings to feed. If you also notice, treasures are now even rare to be found.”

Xia Zhiguang could not agree more. “Except in places where it was out of the Will of Da Sishen’s jurisdiction, I haven’t found a treasure. The rate of increase for God Emperors had indeed been elevated to a degree during the past years.

“However, at this moment, I never felt someone break through to the God Emperor Realm anymore. There was only one circumstance, which I thought was a failure. I think that was from the Eastern Territory.”

On the other hand, while they were busy, Yang Lujia kept feeling that something wrong was happening in Da Sishen. He felt like something bad would occur.

He only had the feeling.

This was why even when he left Long Guang and the others in an inn, he really covered their surroundings with a lot of array formations to keep enemies from their positions, lest Death City would be attacked.

“But where is this uneasy feeling coming from? Should I bring them instead to the Valley of Gods?”

Sooner, he shook his head. No, it was better to leave them alone. After all, although he was powerful enough to do it, it could be taxing to his strength.

When he tried to enter this Forbidden Realm called the Valley of Gods, it actually restricted him quite a bit from using his power. Hence, to make this journey safer, he didn’t want to bring them along. Besides, he couldn’t forcibly do so, as the restrictions were really strong to handle, even for him.

He was helpless. If he’d really tell the system to unseal his true cultivation level, it might instead destroy Da Sishen in one ago.

His grandfather even warned him about doing so. Otherwise, by just standing in front of his previous opponents, they would die because of his aura.

He knew that he was strong, but he didn’t know the extent of his strength. After all, he had the system make his cultivation level unknown to him. Until at the moment, he still didn’t have a single clue about his cultivation level.

Had he reached the peak already?

Or was he still a step apart from that?

Or even a dozen or hundreds of steps away?

Because of this uncertainty, he refused to show off too much. It felt good, but it would certainly encourage danger. Especially when he activated his purple eyes earlier, the atmosphere became gloomy and it seemed like it awakened something terrible from the depths of the realm.

“I just hope that everything would go smoothly. But things as they are now, at some point, they would definitely go wrong.”

However, as long as it didn’t affect him or the people around him, he really didn’t have to worry much.
