Origin Court: Accepting Disciples With A System

Cai Hong directly chose to leave the Void Ground. After all, every time a person comes in, they will only encounter one trial. Each of these trials was very hard to pass through. As for Cai Hong, not to mention the inheritance, even the treasures of the old man, his Inheritee, were extorted by him.

The Wind King Tribe, to which the old man belonged, was a power in the void that only a few could compare to. Cai Hong was very fortunate to have acquired the complete version of the Wind King Scripture from the old man.

"I wonder how His Highness is doing inside," Cai Hong pondered as he stood before the large gate. "With His Highness' talent, he must have encountered something more grandiose than mine, right? Nevertheless, I still wanted to give him the treasures of that old man."

"It's unfortunate that we're truly unable to enter this Void Ground no matter what we do. It was said that a Saint Emperor even tried to enter this ground, but he failed due to the restriction set by the gate," a voice was heard behind Cai Hong.

Cai Hong naturally noticed them, but he ignored them. He did not have any business with them, anyway. He only wanted to wait for His Highness to come out.

"But we can, of course, take what they acquired from within the grounds. We've been doing this for a while now. If not for that old man in the Dragon Phantom Sect, we would've already extorted every single one of them."

"Look, there's that kid over there. Take a look at what's beside him. It's actually a large bag! I can also feel that within that bag is an enormous amount of treasure that could tremendously help us with our cultivation."

"This might be a talented young man, finishing his trial as earlier as the others did. If so, he must've acquired a lot due to his talent. The more talented they are, the harder their trials will be. The harder their trials will be, the more benefits they can reap!"

"If that's the case, let's go! Hahaha! We hit the jackpot! I did not expect to really gain something even after we've only been here for a while!"

These are several people from the other regions—criminals that like to steal from people and kill them. They were this group of people. Other than them, there were also others who do this to supply themselves with resources by not relying on the orthodox ways.

"Hey, kid, what are you doing here alone in the wild?" a burly man said as he stepped forward from the group. "Do you want this big brother to protect you?"

"No."

Despite his amiable attitude, Cai Hong, whose eyes were still on the gate, ruthlessly rejected him.

"Kid, what did you just say?"

"No."

The burly man was infuriated after seeing the nonchalant countenance of Cai Hong, ignoring all of them. It had to be known that when cultivators encountered them, the latter would run as fast as they could so they could get away from them. However, this kid was actually so fearless that he remained standing on the ground, completely disregarding their presence.

"Kid, you should know what's best for you," the burly man said, with a grave look on his face. "I was actually planning to spare you some life earlier, but you refused a toast only to drink a forfeit. Kid, I'll take your life. However, don't worry, I will leave your corpse intact."

After his speech, all of them released their auras and tried to pressure Cai Hong. However, no matter what they did, they found out that Cai Hong did not even budge. Moreover, even when faced with such pressure, Cai Hong still had a nonchalant expression on his face.

"These men are seeking death," Cai Hong mumbled and turned to look at them. "Do you all want to die?"

Everyone's hearts grew cold when they saw how Cai Hong stared at them with glistening eyes—it was telling them that no matter what they'd do, they would end up killed.

Most specifically, when Yang Lujia actually walked like a normal person, reducing their distance, as though he was just strolling in a park—despite them having released their full auras as Saint Kings.

"Again, I will ask you, do you all want to die? I was just peacefully waiting for His Highness to come out, but you interrupted my peace. But if it's for that shallow reason, I will not kill you. However, to dare say you'd keep my treasures for your own, how dare you?!"

The moment he said, the wind around them grew strong as though a storm was slowly brewing. Every one of these criminals knelt and looked at Cai Hong incredulously. There was a very large disparity of strength between them and this young man.

When they thought of the possibility that this young man might be a peak Saint King or even above that, their hearts felt the chill of the arctic. All of them were on their knees, barely even able to remain kneeling due to the pressure emitted by Cai Hong.

"Milord, please have mercy on us! We failed to see Mt. Tai—"

"I will first detain you. I will let His Highness decide your fate. If it was His Highness who you tried to steal from, you might have already been burnt to death by now," Cai Hong cut them off and sealed their mouths.

He then went back to his position and stared at the large gate in front of him. "Your Highness, this subordinate is patiently waiting for you. I have treasures here I can give you."

Although their lips were forcibly sealed, their hearing wasn't. Hence, they clearly heard what Cai Hong said.

'Subordinate?! He's only a subordinate?!'

Well, it wasn't that surprising. However, what really surprised them until now was Cai Hong's strength. With his strength, he would be able to gain a foothold for himself in the four regions.

Then, another possibility occurred in their minds.

'Could it be that he's one of the top 10 geniuses in the four regions?!'

If so, then they're doomed this time. It was said that these top 10 geniuses were so strong in the Saint King Realm. They could contend with those that have a higher cultivation realm than theirs.

Was this the reason why this kid was so unfazed even when faced with several Saint Kings like themselves?

Meanwhile, when Yang Lujia entered the Void Ground, what he encountered was neither a palace nor anything extravagant.

It was a gargantuan tree!

It even had its own consciousness!

Its trunk looked old. However, it appeared to be very sturdy. Moreover, the leaves on its branches were still vibrantly green. When it spoke into Yang Lujia's mind, the latter was so frightened that he looked around.

"What the fuck was that? Who are you?" Yang Lujia got his guard on.

From the two dragons he encountered from outside this ground, he knew that he could not defeat them and that this place wasn't as simple as he had previously imagined it to be. Just how powerful would the person who owned this place be?

Yang Lujia would not dare even imagine it.

"Brat, I am the owner of the Void Ground," the voice suddenly sounded again, even sounding impatient. "Your enormous talents must have brought you here to this place. Let this old man see how talented you are that even I did not anticipate your arrival."

A branch of the tree then suddenly stretched out like a snake worming its way in the wind toward Yang Lujia's position. Yang Lujia gulped as soon as he saw this.

"What are you going to do with me?" Yang Lujia's face turned solemn.

When he tried to move his body backward, he found out that he actually could not move!

"What is this?" he mumbled. "What did you do to me?" His eyes turned wide as he saw that the extended branch was slowly closing in on him.

"Brat, you don't have to worry about this old man hurting you. I simply wanted to know how talented you are," the old voice replied as soon as the branch of the tree arrived before Yang Lujia and slowly wrapped around his wrist.

"What the? You're actually from that tribe?" The old man's voice was that of surprise. "No wonder, no wonder. You also have their noble bloodline. As if that wasn't monstrous enough, you even have three more bloodlines within you. Two were that of a dragon and the other was chaos. As for the other one, I am unable to detect it."

Yang Lujia was shocked at how the tree (the old man) assessed him with just its branch. Moreover, he even discovered that he had another bloodline in his body that he knew nothing about.

"To be more precise, this bloodline occurred from this particular special body of yours. It mixed with the other bloodlines. In fact, a person could only have one special body and its corresponding bloodline.

"However, it was different for you. Because of that special body and that bloodline of yours, you seemed to have harmoniously fused the other bloodlines together without them fighting against each other.

"It's precisely because of this that your special bodies and bloodlines did not make things difficult for you. I suppose that even if you break through, there are no bottlenecks at all. That bloodline of yours is the strongest that this old man has interfered having lived for millions of years."

When Yang Lujia heard the old tree's explanation, he was dumbfounded. That was because he did not know anything before about what this old tree told him.
