Origin Court: Accepting Disciples With A System

Chapter 186 The Bald Man

“What the fuck are you doing?” the old tree screamed in terror when he found out what Yang Lujia was about to do. “Brat, do you want to die? Are you crazy? Although your body is strong enough to accommodate two bloodlines, with the addition of even the other stronger one, you cannot fuse those two bloodlines! They’re something even your body could not handle!”

However, Yang Lujia ignored the old tree.

He was busy navigating the two bloodlines to completely fuse. The Dragon Emperor Bloodline was trying to resist the Abysmal Chaos Bloodline.

The latter was overpowering the former. At this moment, most of the Dragon Emperor Bloodline was devoured by the other and Yang Lujia was able to hear its wail—as though it was pleading him to stop.

If others were to know about the Dragon Emperor Bloodline acting like this, they would probably suck a mouthful of cold air. Precisely because the Dragon Emperor Bloodline was one of the most powerful bloodlines that ever existed, the most powerful one amongst dragons. However, it was only just that it would act like this as the bloodline that was trying to devour it was the Abysmal Chaos Bloodline, an even stronger one.

Yang Lujia, however, disregarded its sentiments and continued to try to fuse the two bloodlines. He even disregarded the old tree’s voice—as though he isolated himself in a space only he was present.

“Brat…” The old tree eventually gave up persuading Yang Lujia. Although he wanted this kid to stop what he was doing, he simply could not force him to do so. Yang Lujia already began the process. If he were to disturb him, his cultivation might be adversely affected.

“Forget it. I can only hope he can succeed. If that family found out that he was hurt, I might be implicated if he would get hurt under my watch. That family is just so protective of their younger generation. However, what could I possibly do? He made that decision himself.”

SIGH.

The old tree went silent and just looked at Yang Lujia who was sitting in a lotus position.

After some time, days passed and Yang Lujia was still not able to assimilate the two bloodlines completely because he was in the final process. Soon enough, he clenched his teeth and his face turned ugly. It was because the final step to fusing them made him feel like his body was about to crack open and explode.

This was the first time he truly felt pain. Moreover, it was the most painful one he had experienced, coming to this world. However, he endured. If he could truly fuse these two bloodlines, who knew what level of strength he could achieve?

Cai Hong, who was waiting for Yang Lujia outside the entrance to the Void Ground not only had a nonchalant look on his face, he was even standing where he stood from before.

The only different thing was that there were already people around him, kneeling and begging to save them. After all, they chose to covet Cai Hong’s treasures. When they tried to attack him, regardless of whether they had seen the people before them who were already kneeling, it was either their arms or their feet that were severed.

Cai Hong was ruthless when it came to other people. His loyalty would always remain with Yang Lujia, although he didn’t know why he suddenly became like this, at least he was only following what he was feeling. He was also slightly loyal and in favor of his master who taught him and had helped him grow up into who he was now.

“Who is he?” A bald senile-looking man suddenly arrived before those people who stood by the side in fear, looking at those who were kneeling before that young man. “Why are those Saint Kings kneeling at him?”

“We don’t know,” they all replied. “When we arrived here, we simply saw a lot of those people’s arms and legs. He did such a ruthless thing without batting an eye. Moreover, he always said to them that he shall confine these people and let ‘His Highness’ decide for their fate.”

“His Highness? He called someone His Highness? Was he waiting for someone like a Saint Emperor? Had he been roped in by another palace?” The bald man’s face turned gloomy as he could not understand how another palace managed to rope in the newly promoted Saint Emperor in this region.

Moreover, he was tasked to invite that Saint Emperor no matter the cost. If he was unable to, he’d be punished. However, although that would only be some light punishment, it would still make him lose face if others were to know that a person like him, at the Inferiora Stage of the Saint Emperor Realm, actually failed to do such a simple mission.

No matter how powerful the newly promoted Saint Emperor was, it had to be known that it had already been a long time since he became one himself.

“Just who is this His Highness he was referring to?” the bald man asked the ugly guy beside him.

“We also do not know,” that guy replied. “However, it seemed that he was waiting for ‘His Highness’ to come out of the Void Ground.”

Then, the bald man realized another crucial thing to look over. It was said that the Void Ground was someone that not even a Saint Emperor could enter. Unless one was someone at a young age and someone who was a native of the Third Region, nobody could basically enter the Void Ground.

Thinking about this, the bald man sucked a mouthful of cold air. He then asked the guys around if these rumors about the Void Ground were true, and they said that it was indeed the truth—even these people were unable to enter and could only wait for the young ones to come out and extort the treasures they got from inside that ground.

Moreover, it was even more baffling how the others, even at their old age, were able to enter the Void Ground. Although the bald man did not know about this, he basically learned about this from the others who had been here even before Yang Lujia and the others came before the gate of the Void Ground.

“What in the world is happening? You mean to say he was able to control the Void Ground to let others enter them as well? What sort of sorcery did he use?” the bald man muttered, simply unbelieving of what others had told him.

It was simply impossible for someone to do that. Even the strongest Saint Emperor of the entire Da Shikong could not breach the Void Ground’s entrance.

“Impossible!” he mumbled and clenched his fists. “However, I could only wait for him to come out. For now, I am going to ask this young man before the entrance—”

“A Saint Emperor actually came here?” Cai Hong’s voice was sharp when the bald man was about to step out from the crowd.

When the bald man heard Cai Hong’s words, his face stiffened, and immediately thought of flying. ‘How the hell did this kid know I am at the Saint Emperor Realm?!’

He was really frightened. When he tried to probe into Cai Hong’s cultivation, he was even more dumbfounded. He could not see through the kid’s cultivation realm at all!

“Young master,” the bald man replied, nevertheless. “This lowly subordinate was being rude for not greeting you sooner.”

“Are you also here to rob me of my treasures? If so, you can scram now. If not, I’ll let you suffer the same fate as them. I don’t hold back, but since you are very polite, I won’t go against you.”

‘Arrogant!’ the bald man screamed in his heart, but he showed an amiable and embarrassed smile—very contrary to what he really felt about the kid. “Young master, this lowly subordinate never intended to snatch away your treasures. I am merely here to ask you about His Highness. Is he inside the Void Ground?”

Although Cai Hong was quite wary about the bald man’s origin, he still unleashed his boundless might that covered the entire area. Every one of the people around him vomited blood in response—that was only due to his aura.

Even the bald man, who was an Inferiora of the Saint Emperor Realm, did not fare any better. His face was pale and a trace of blood could be seen crawling down from the side of his chin.

“So powerful!” the bald man exclaimed.

‘How could such a genius be unknown? Fuck!’

“If you ask about His Highness again, I will rip your head off your body—”

“Insolent!” the bald man replied. “Brat, don’t you know who I am?!”

Although the bald man had fear in his heart, mainly due to Cai Hong’s show of strength, he believed that with his origin, Cai Hong would have to think twice before killing him.

“I don’t care who you are. Wait until His Highness comes out if you want to see him. However, it is still up to His Highness whether or not he wants to talk to you,” Cai Hong replied with his stare emitting extreme coldness.
