Origin Court: Accepting Disciples With A System-Chapter 216 To The Core
Yang Lujia and the others continued their way to the core of the geographical array formation. While on their way, the Vengeful Pangolin decided to accompany them as the restrictions set upon by the person who threw him into this void space were removed by Yang Lujia himself.
On the other hand, Cai Hong still could not get over what he explained to the kid, Yin Hang.
Surrounding them were the spatial disruptions that could kill any cultivator, even in the Saint King Realm. Space rules abound in every direction, twirling like unsettled strings. All of them were pulsating, making one's heart tremble at the beat.
Meanwhile, the man sitting cross-legged in the core formation had long noticed that changes were gradually showing in the array formation. Around him were mountains of Bracelets of Light. He was tasked by the Holy Light Emperor to keep an eye on these bracelets and also monitor the Sacred Region at the same time. After all, they could not deny that the Sacred Region was part of their overall force, albeit weaker. Overseeing was already a given.
Moreover, it had to be said that the Sacred Region could become their runaway place, lest there'd come a time when they would be faced with a calamity that they could not handle. It had to be known that this array formation was something not even a peak Saint Emperor could breach. Thus, it could be inferred that there would be no one who could do it. If it was someone else whose cultivation was above that of the Saint Emperor, it could be possible.
But as meticulous as Yang Lujia was, he would rather not choose the most direct way.
"Why is it that the array formation is reacting to something? What could it be?" The old man was appalled and baffled. For all the years he had stayed and had been supplying Bracelets of Light to the Sacred Region, there had been no such instance wherein the array formation would change, even if it was the slightest. In other words, so far, it had been stable.
"I'm afraid I might have to ask the Holy Light Emperor himself to come over. He must have some answers to the changes happening. Although they were only minimal, it might be something significant," he muttered under his breath.
It might even be possible that some expert had found the core of the array formation and was just intentionally concealing himself to avoid a fight. While he was very strong himself, it would still not be impossible for the other party to conceal himself, especially if the latter specialized and had trained much in this aspect.
But he did not know anyone who could do so. It could only be that rogue cultivator from before. However, that cultivator was never fond of array formations. Therefore, the probability of him coming into this place would be close to nothing.
However, it was not entirely impossible. f𝚛e𝚎𝘄𝒆𝚋𝚗𝚘ѵ𝑒𝚕.𝑐𝘰𝑚
While he was doubting it, however, Yang Lujia had already arrived at the place. The slight changes in the array formation were naturally caused by his disturbance. That was because before he could enter the core, he found out that they would need to have Bracelets of Light to enter. It took him a while to uncover the secrets of the barrier blocking them in the most subtle way.
He was wary of the possible presence of someone else inside the formation. It might be someone stronger than him or simply someone as strong as the Void Tree and the three seniors he had encountered in the Void Tree Space. Therefore, he took things in the most possible discrete way.
However, he did not expect that after he did so, ripples would occur within the array formation's core. He could only hope there was no one inside the core. Otherwise, things would get complicated if he could not defeat that person.
As Yang Lujia coated the others with a concealing formation, the person who was inside the core of the array formation did not notice anything amiss.
"It seems like I really need to report this to the Holy Light Emperor. The changes earlier must be something significant. I could feel it," the man who had a red miter on his head spoke.
He stood up and looked around the place. He had already accumulated several Bracelets of Light. Because of the prediction announced by the Heavenly Destiny Fate from the time temple, it seemed like a calamity would soon strike the entire realm—and not even they, the strongest of the strongest could hold a candle against it.
However, since there was such a risk, if they would survive they would naturally gain something more than they risked for.
Thus, they needed to bring as many Bracelets of Lights, so they could let the other people of their palace enter the Sacred Region. Although they would be like pigs waiting to be slaughtered if they would choose to stay inside the Sacred Region, at least they knew that they were perfectly safe.
"Where are we?" Yin Hang spoke first, but since the concealing formation Yang Lujia had cast was to conceal every movement and sound they would make, no one except him and the others heard the kid.
The Vengeful Pangolin, on the other hand, had her eyes fixated on Metallie, whose body was made of metal. This made her curious that she wanted to approach this woman. However, ever since her body was seen before, she did not dare initiate a conversation, because she was too shy about it.
Especially when she thought about how the handsome Yang Lujia saw her whole bare body, she felt a little excited and expectant inside her heart. However, to her dismay, Yang Lujia just turned around to avoid looking at her.
With that being said, with her experience in the void, she naturally knew that some men like Yang Lujia really didn't like to take advantage of women. Or so she thought.
"Yin Hang, we are now inside the core of the array formation. In case you don't know, I'll explain it to you. Actually, while I was deducing the array formation's core's barrier earlier, I discovered something intricate," Yang Lujia said as he looked at the others, stopping midway.
He then continued, "This geographical array formation is truthfully a continental-like array formation. However, there were four points of the array formation that might turn it to crumble. That, nonetheless, wouldn't be taught until you know enough anything about the array formation." ƒ𝘳𝗲𝑒𝒘𝐞𝚋𝚗𝐨v𝘦l.𝒄o𝐦
"These five points actually point to four directions. Each point lies one of the four divine beasts—the Vermillion Bird of the South, the Black Tortoise of the North, the White Tiger of the West, and finally the Azure Dragon of the West. Although they were just in slumber and were just clearly thought projections, they were extremely powerful enough to suppress a peak Saint Emperor or kill him."
Once, unknown to everyone, there was actually one cultivator who was already at the peak of the Saint Emperor Realm and tried to enter the Sacred Region by force in the West. However, to his misfortune, he met the most ferocious of the four beasts, the White Tiger. Therefore, he was killed the moment he used force.
Yang Lujia knew about the four beasts and that attacking the array formation by force would incur the wrath of the four divine beasts. Although he could pretty much handle them, he did not want to hassle himself. Therefore, he chose to be cautious and as much as possible, low profile for the time being.
It was said that the core of the array formation would be where the Bracelets of Lights were produced—that was according to Cai Hong's intel. It was said to be true. It was just that no one came back after they came to the core. One cultivator after another tried to snatch at least one Bracelet of Light that had already become missing since the old times.
Just thinking of it, it was scary. However, it was not that scary to Yang Lujia. Since he could pretty well detect the array formation's strengths, he could naturally identify which part of the formation was the weakest. Therefore, he needed not worry.
He just hoped to comprehend the array formation completely. He only knew the four divine beast's projection thoughts' presences, but he never got any insight about the array formation at all.
"Moreover, if I could comprehend the array formation and be acknowledged by the four beasts, I would naturally gain ownership of the array formation or gain the way to set it up. However, I believe that the person who set this formation up must be someone formidable who could make the four beasts submit and have a part of their souls remains here as part of the array formation forever. If one day the formation would be breached, these four divine beasts' souls would naturally disappear as well," Yang Lujia explained. "Come with me inside. It seems like there's no one here."
They were like inside a tunnel, under the Sacred Region's grounds. Since Yang Lujia somewhat felt like there was no one here other than themselves, he undid the concealment formation he placed on everyone. However, right after he did so, a reverberating voice rang in the air that caused intense fluctuations in the space.
"Who?!"
"There's actually a human here?" Yang Lujia was confused.
