Origin Court: Accepting Disciples With A System

While on their way to the palace, a notification from the system suddenly rang into Yang Lujia's mind and even he was startled. It was a notification regarding the Summoning Writ. He didn't know what it was, but he nevertheless opened it.

[Ding! Since it is the first time the Host managed to open the new function of the system, Summoning Writ, the Host is given one Summoning Writ for free!]

[Ding! Congratulations, Host! You have received a Summoning Writ: The Age of Spirits! The Host can use the Summoning Writ by using a drop of his blood on the writ! Once done, the Host can then summon one of the beasts included within this cluster!]

"Cluster?" Yang Lujia was confused.

[Ding! Cluster is a term used to describe a group of beasts or creatures. For example, the Age of Spirits contained a group of beasts or creatures that are spirits in nature.]

"That's somewhat amazing," Yang Lujia commented, expecting something beautiful to come out of this. If it would be a creature that was a powerful one, he could it as one of his vassals in the coming war or whatever he would face in the future, especially this so-called creator of the Five Realms. "Wait, let us stop for a while."

Brownie, him, and Sheng Ao stopped for a while. Again, he did not need the others as he only enjoyed having Brownie as his some sort of stress reliever because of his smooth fur and Sheng Ao… well, he was just there because he wanted him to meet his second senior brother.

"What's the matter, master?" Sheng Ao asked.

Midair, they suddenly disappeared and reappeared above the clouds.

Sheng Ao was shocked. When did they teleport here? His master actually had that much proficiency in manipulating the rules of space at such a high comprehension. Later on, he saw a brownish scroll, almost the same color as a parchment paper, in his master's hand.

"What is that, master?"

Brownie, who was on his shoulders, sleeping, also opened his eyes in the curiosity of what Yang Lujia of what this kid was up to now. He even had some sort of scroll in his hand.

"This? This is a scroll I once found before. I haven't had the time to open this," Yang Lujia answered. "This scroll is somewhat like a summoning scroll. It can be used to summon creatures or beasts across ages. The problem is it will summon randomly and I could not get to choose the creatures I want to summon. It's kind of sad, but let's try it anyway."

Of course, that was a lie. He was just somewhat excited and curious about this Summoning Writ.

Sheng Ao and Brownie only nodded in understanding, so they could only wait for what Yang Lujia was about to do.

Yang Lujia let the scroll roll down. However, the moment he saw what was inside, he was puzzled. There was actually nothing on the inside of it. It was just like a blank paper. However, because Fortuniel said that this must be able to summon creatures or beasts, he would still be going to do it.

Wounding himself, he used his drop of blood on the Summoning Writ. Shockingly, as though time had stopped, a breathtaking phenomenon occurred everyone from the Dragon Emperor Palace was mesmerized. In the phenomenon, they saw an ancient tree atop the clouds, a magnificent and vibrantly tree! It was nothing like the normal trees! It was like a tree that had sentient and had lived for millions of years.

This was just like the Void Tree he had encountered in the past. Everyone was just in awe when they saw this. The tree was full of life and threads of what they thought were rules swirled around the tree as though they were welcoming it to this world. However, this was only a type of phenomenon. In other words, it was only an illusion brought upon by the birth of something or someone grand.

"Will there be another genius who will rise in prosperity among us dragons?" the Dragon Ancestor asked himself, uncertain of what he was seeing in the sky now. However, he did not intend to interfere with it as he could not leave his son alone. If he left, who knew what his enemies would do to him?

On the other hand, Long Guang, who was in the middle of the kneeling Dragon Princes and their subordinates, was the most shocked. That wasn't because he thought the phenomenon was something mindboggling. It was because he had caught on to an aura that was very familiar to him. However, he could not quite catch on to it.

"Could it be?" Long Guang asked, ignoring whatever was happening in the skies. "Could it be that master has already come here? However, I can't sense master's aura."

He was confused. He had not known anyone other than those he had encountered and met. After all, in the Dragon Emperor Palace, he did not interact much with other dragons. Even the Dragon Emperor had not interacted much with him. Moreover, that trace of aura he had felt earlier from the middle of that phenomenon was something very powerful, much more powerful than even the Dragon Ancestor.

"Who could it be?"

Meanwhile, Yang Lujia was still in a state of shock, looking at the phenomenon that lasted for a while before it disappeared. It was the same for Sheng Ao and Brownie who accidentally released their aura to show their vigilance toward the phenomenon. They felt something very threatening but at the same time, they did not feel any killing intent at all. It was as though it was just a fleeting feeling.

Yang Lujia noticed the changes in their bodies and hurriedly suppressed them, especially Brownie, who had grown to become stronger than anyone he knew. He did not want to alert anyone, although he already decided to become high-profile. This Devouring Void Dog was really growing fast. Perhaps it had something to do with him awakening portions of his memories as the prince of their tribe.

However, his attention was more concentrated on the scroll that had yet to react after the phenomenon. Regardless, it was still shining.

[Ding! The stronger the potential and/or strength of the summoned beast or creature, the longer it will take for it to be summoned. However, after this stage, the Host can freely summon and unsummon the beast or creature!]

"Oh?" Yang Lujia was surprised. "Let's for a while here. If it'd take a longer time, we will have no choice but to go to the palace."

"What are we waiting for, master? Does it have something to do with that scroll?"

Yang Lujia nodded and looked at the scroll expectantly.

And just like that, an hour passed and finally, the scroll finally showed an obvious reaction. It first trembled and gradually, something surfaced from it. What came out surprised the three of them who were looking. The aura of this thing was very holy, akin to the tree that appeared as its phenomenon.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for summoning his first summon!]

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for using his first Summoning Writ for the first time!]

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for receiving a summon with strong potential and unreasonable strength!]

[Ding! Peng Hou: A tree spirit blessed by the immortals and gods. In the Age of Spirits, Peng Hou had become one of the pillars in one of the Wars of Ages. When it was at its peak strength in the past, it was very proficient *censored*.]

"It was actually a tree spirit. Moreover, there was something censored here. Fortuniel, why is there something censored regarding the information of this tree spirit?" Yang Lujia asked, temporarily ignoring the emerging tree spirit.

"It involves too much Karma, Host. I also don't know why, but I'm unable to peer into the secrets of the world."

"That's somewhat peculiar."

[Ding! The Anecdotes of Peng Hou is now available for the Host to view. With this, the Host will be able to understand what it needs and/or what it wants to do and/or have. The record will have limitations due to the involvement of Karma. The Anecdotes of Peng Hou will mostly only reveal some parts that will help the Host understand its characteristics and behavioral patterns.]
