Origin Court: Accepting Disciples With A System

An Arch-Cardinal was always someone whose status was only below the Holy Light Emperor himself. It was said that there were five of them in the Holy Light Palace, but most of the people had yet to see these five in public.

These people never liked meddling with worldly affairs. In fact, although their status was beneath the Holy Light Emperor, collectively, as a group, they needed not fear the might of the Holy Light Emperor.

It was just that they remained low profile all these years and had never intended to pursue the position and status of the Holy Light Emperor. To them, reputation and status were just worldly desires that people should let go of.

However, there would always be one odd out from the group. He was also the youngest Arch-Cardinal of them and most probably the weakest. But he was not someone to be taken lightly. His prowess could be said to be only beneath the other four Arch-Cardinals and the Holy Light Emperor.

At this time, Yang Lujia was slowly approaching the chaotic part of the array formation directly connected to the endless void. With the void interfering with his senses, he was only limited to seeing only a certain distance from where he and the other two stood.

"Your Highness, I have a bad feeling about this. Why don't we get out of here?" Cai Hong expressed his doubts and worries about the matter.

His instincts might not be as trained as Yang Lujia's but it was nevertheless topnotch with his cultivation level. However, with that being said, Yang Lujia chose to ignore him.

Although Yang Lujia knew that their trip this time would be dangerous, he firmly believed that it was something he could handle well with his means. He could only pray that there were no existences hidden within the array that he could not afford to offend. Otherwise, he would really be doomed.

Never in his life did he experience doom in his life as a cultivator, but he knew that at the moment it would happen, he could only succumb to his death. However, he was left with no choice at the moment. He did not want to wait and steal Bracelets of Lights from other people.

Who knew how long these people would come out from the Sacred Region? Who knew how long until another additional people would come to the Sacred Region?

Well, the second question hit right on the mark.

It was true that while Yang Lujia and the others started approaching the core of the humungous array formation; there were others who came as well.

Spatial turbulence was very common in this part of the array formation. In fact, the rules of space were very abundant here. There was even no lack of void beasts that were trapped within this spatial turbulence.

"W-What is that…" Yin Hang revealed a look filled with fear as he pointed at a large figure not far away from them.

Yang Lujia smiled at his reaction and turned to look at that void beast lurking around this space. However, Yang Lujia had already seen through this creature. It was not specifically strong, but its bloodline sure was. Nevertheless, he did not feel threatened.

"Fortuniel, do you know the name of that void beast? It seems to be something I have seen before, but it wasn't." Yang Lujia felt the need to ask.

The beast had a long body and its scales seemed to be even harder than a turtle's. Moreover, its scales had shades of black and white. It was truly a bizarre creature that even Yang Lujia was surprised to see it. Nevertheless, he only asked Fortuniel out of curiosity.

"According to my memories, Host, that is a species of the Vengeful Pangolin. It seems to be also a creature from the void like the dragon that you capture not long ago," Fortuniel explained. "It has impressive defensive and offensive abilities inherent to its species. Its body had scales to protect itself but curled up and turn into a ball of scales. However, that was not the only thing frightening. Although it was curled, it could still its opponents from all directions."

"Why?" Yang Lujia asked, seemingly unconvinced of this Vengeful Pangolin being able to see without one's eyes. "Does it have something like mental power?" However, after thinking about it for a while, he thought it was natural.

After all, the Vengeful Pangolin should be a cultivator void beast. Thus, it was not surprising it could use its mental power, given that it had been giving them a powerful sensation.

"No, host, what I meant is the direct way of seeing things. Below its scales were hidden eyes that could see everything surrounding the creature."

"Like a living pineapple?" Yang Lujia exclaimed.

If Fortuniel was with him outside, the boy's mouth could have already twitched due to Yang Lujia's description. However, the boy did not reply and only went silent after that.

Sensing that Fortuniel did not bother with him anymore, he turned to look at the shocked Yin Hang. He even found Cai Hong also trembling at the sight of this creature.

"You two need not be afraid. That's a Vengeful Pangolin. Moreover, it had been affected by the spatial turbulence that it had become crazy and extremely frustrated as it unrestrainedly devoured every creature it sees."

Cai Hong and Yin Hang paled as soon as they heard what Yang Lujia said. "W-What… then…"

"No, you don't have to worry," Yang Lujia replied, dispelling all their negative thoughts. "I am still more than enough to deal with it. Just sit back and relax. If it approaches us and tries anything funny, I will make it regret it for doing so."

His voice was light but it carried the coldness of absolute ice.

"Let's go. We have to continue going down this path to the array formation's core," Yang Lujia as they made their way again.

Naturally, the Vengeful Pangolin noticed their movement as it had already become the overlord of this area. Except for the human who it feared, there was basically no one that it was afraid of. That human carried the power of absolute light. That human could easily distinguish all of his vengeful attacks. That human was its nemesis.

The Vengeful Pangolin then snored at the other void beasts lingering around. They were basically not enough to satisfy its stomach. Therefore, it took the initiative to find stronger opponents that it could devour. It especially eyed Yin Hang and Cai Hong who smelled quite fragrant to it.

From its perspective, it could not sense anything anomalous from Yang Lujia. Hence, it directly shot off in the direction where the group of three was heading to.

"Come, come here my food…" it talked in a hoarse voice as its speed increased, even more, matching the pace of Yang Lujia's current speed.

"What food?"

The void beast suddenly stopped midway when it heard that void enter its mind. It was only for a brief moment and its mind went blank. It was frightened by just thinking how powerful the other entity could be. Therefore, it momentarily stopped.

"Why am I feeling afraid? I am a proud creature from the void. If not for being trapped here like forever, I would have already gotten back to my land! This is so frustrating! Why did I have to believe that old geezer!" it grumbled. "No! I refuse to believe that I'd be frightened just like that!"

It was roaring in its heart. Clearly, it had grievances that no one knew other than itself.

Naturally, Yang Lujia heard everything that this void beast said. "What's your name, Vengeful Pangolin?"

The Vengeful Pangolin once again froze in its tracks. It suddenly felt like a small ant waiting to be slaughtered. "Who?!" It fearfully moved its body from one direction to another, trying to probe into the position where the other party was hiding.

"You don't have to know who I am…" The Vengeful Pangolin had a strong premonition. When its eyes came to where the group of three was heading, they all actually disappeared!

'Was that only an illusion for this expert to lead me into here?!'

It shivered at the thought.

'If that's really the case, then wouldn't I have died—no! This is not the end of the line for me! I want to fight!' It gritted its large sharp teeth, with its blood-red eyes turning even more sinister than it was before.

"Who are you?! Why are you doing this to me?!"

Yang Lujia, who was behind the shadows, could not help but feel amused by this development. "Oh? Despite his berserk mode, he still had some rationality left in his brain. It looks like this Vengeful Pangolin has some worth to become my servant?"

"Answer me! How do you know my identity?! Who are you?! Why are you here?!"

When the Vengeful Pangolin recalled how he was placed here by that person in the past, he suddenly felt indignant and released his aura. It was even stronger than the aura released by Cardinal Lin!

"I am here to enslave you. Do you want to become my sla—"

HEH!

"Who wants to become your slave! I am a noble in my tribe! Enslaving me is equivalent to insulting my clan's virtues! If you don't want me to fight you with my full strength, then leave this place! I can't afford another—"

"Ridiculous! A mere creature like you actually dared to show off?"
