Origin Court: Accepting Disciples With A System-Chapter 217 Fu Yishi
The Arch-Cardinal, Fu Yishi, was greatly alarmed the moment he heard the other party's voice. He immediately concealed himself in the shadows, not intending to go out from his concealment. To be precise, he was holding some sort of treasure that could conceal his entire aura—that not even a peak Saint Emperor could see through him.
Yang Lujia was even more surprised. With his usual eyes, he actually could not see the other party's presence. "What sort of treasure does he have to avoid my perception range? It's basically impossible for a peak Saint Emperor to hide in my presence. Even if they are far away, I would still be able to sense them."
Therefore, he immediately linked the other party's disappearance—and it was due to a treasure that Yang Lujia himself did not know. How could such a treasure exist in this realm? That was his question but he did not delve into it.
He just wanted to know what kind of person who was just here, the one who just talked earlier.
"Who are you? What are you doing here in the core of the array formation? If you don't show yourself now, I will definitely destroy the core of this array formation," Yang Lujia threatened, his eyes flashing with determination.
Fu Yishi naturally saw Yang Lujia's facial expression; especially the latter's eyes that seemed to command authority. "Who do you think you are?! Why are you speaking as if you can really destroy this array formation?!"
Fu Yishi did not come out because he was very doubtful of this fellow's strength. On the surface, he could naturally detect the other person's cultivation level—but his instincts were telling him that this person was stronger than he looked. Therefore, he chose not to move, lest he provoked such an existence that was comparable to the Holy Light Emperor himself.
When Yang Lujia heard the other party's response, he frowned. Although he acted arrogant just now, he felt like the other party was also arrogant by not showing himself to him. Nevertheless, he still had to find this fellow.
He didn't want anyone to know that he had entered this place. Although he could willfully change his face, that didn't change the fact that the other party would bring more people in the future. Thus, he had to contain him first.
"If you really insist, then I will insist. Wait until I find you."
"Hmph!" Fu Yishi was unconvinced and even snorted on the other side.
"Hmm?" Yang Lujia's eyes suddenly turned purple and it startled not only Fu Yishi but also the others. Even the Vengeful Pangolin or Brownie could not help but tremble under Yang Lujia's gaze. They were not staring at their eyes directly, but they could still feel the immense pressure it had brought them.
"As expected of him," Brownie whispered and fell asleep once more. Earlier, he felt the pressure, but Yang Lujia seemed to have retracted his eyes' power to not implicate the others with him.
"What?!" Fu Yishi blurted out loud.
Yang Lujia's eyes could already make his heart tremble, what more when this person would look at him directly. And it was indeed the case. Yang Lujia was looking at him as though the other party knew his real location. 𝙛𝑟𝑒e𝘸𝑒𝗯𝘯𝗼𝘃el.𝒄𝒐m
Naturally, Fu Yishi was very afraid.
How could an existence like him exist in this realm? Other than the emperors of the palaces, like the Holy Light Emperor, he had never felt so pressured anymore.
"Hmph! If that's all—"
"I can see you. Come out," Yang Lujia muttered under his breath and pulled Fu Yishi's neck into his grip, seeing the other party's whole body appearance.
Yang Lujia saw the cross on the Arch-Cardinal's red miter and he was taken aback. "A churchman?"
"W-What do you m-mean by c-churchman?" Fu Yishi was trembling all over. He was really frightened. Yang Lujia's eyes petrified him the most. These eyes were like the entire universe spying on his thoughts, the feelings in his heart—basically everything around him.
Truthfully, however, Yang Lujia was just trying to check through Fu Yishi's dantian and observe what kind of Saint Emperor he was. This big old guy was actually already at the peak Saint Emperor. He must be someone with extraordinary status.
Moreover, this peak Saint Emperor had a miter on his head—which led to Yang Lujia to guess that this person might have something to do with his soon-to-be fourth disciple. Speaking of, this third disciple of his was actually one of his goals. After he could not wait for the reward to be elixirs again—he basically swept through all the elixirs in Fortuniel's storage space.
Fu Yishi felt humiliated when he heard that he was called a churchman. He was not a mere churchman but a peak Saint Emperor of the Holy Light Emperor—however, no matter what would happen, the Holy Light Emperor would always tell him not to divulge his affiliation with the palace to another person who was very strong enough to subdue him like a god.
And at this time, he was truly afraid.
What kind of existence did he encounter this time?
How could such a person know of the existence of the array formation's core?
Although he looked angry on the surface, his soul was already trembling while being held immobile by Yang Lujia. He could not breathe but he could still manage to last for a while—but anytime, he knew he would faint.
"Who are you? What are you doing here in this array formation's core? Are you trying to gain control of it?"
Fu Yishi pondered on it. However, other than guarding the array formation's core, he indeed has the idea of subduing the formation. However, for several thousands of years, he was still unable to. It was due to the four beasts that would not even wake up even when he was disturbing their slumber. One time, the White Tiger opened its eyes but he was immediately frightened.
However, his desire to conquer the array formation grew even further. It was not part of his mission to guard here in the array formation's core. His greed overcame him and even cultivated to his fullest—but to no avail, he was still unable to gain the recognition of the four beasts.
Witnessing the silent Fu Yishi and the subtle and almost unnoticeable changes in his eyes, Yang Lujia was convinced that this fellow indeed have the idea of gaining control over this array formation. It was just he wasn't able to.
"This array formation should be called the Nirvana Beasts Array Formation. This is an array set up by an extremely powerful cultivator who could subdue the four divine beasts, leaving a part of their souls to create this powerful formation. Do you know that?"
Fu Yishi's eyes shrank. He actually could not believe it. Then, it meant that his struggle to gain the four beasts' recognition was all for naught? Something like a waste of time? Who could have known that the array formation already had a master of its own? Was this the reason why he was not acknowledged by the four beasts no matter what he did?
He thought it was his talent that was lacking. Somewhat comfortably, it wasn't.
"I know what you're thinking. This array formation has been lying dormant here because it suddenly lost its master. The moment the array formation master left this array formation here, it had become a formation without a master who could willfully control it. And only those who have enough talent could do so. Obviously, I'm not referring to you. I'm referring to myself."
Brownie, who heard Yang Lujia's statement, could not help but twitch its mouth. Wasn't this fellow too arrogant? However, Yang Lujia did have the qualifications to do so. Among them present, he had the most prestigious family background. Thus, he did not doubt it. The way how Yang Lujia spoke his words just incurred somewhat some disgust for Brownie.
He was with Yang Lujia for a long time already. He naturally knew that Yang Lujia was timid, but he was actually toughing it up now. This was rare, but he neither disliked nor liked this part of Yang Lujia. He still loved the peaceful Yang Lujia, though. Although he felt somewhat uncomfortable, he knew that he would not be implicated in anything if Yang Lujia would choose to move by himself. 𝒇𝗿𝙚ℯ𝑤ℯ𝑏𝒏𝑜ѵe𝙡.c𝐨ｍ
After all, Yang Lujia was someone whom he could still not see through up until this moment. It was bizarre just how a person like him could actually be so talented. Who would think that a 19-year-old kid had actually reached such a terrifying level of cultivation?
When he tried to size up Yang Lujia's strength, he surmised that Yang Lujia might have already reached that cultivation level a long time ago. Brownie just didn't want to believe it.
Meanwhile, Fu Yishi felt a stab in his heart the moment he heard Yang Lujia's sharp words.
Did he mean that his talent was only up to par?
Something very mediocre compared to him?
However, before he could even refute it, Yang Lujia's voice suddenly echoed once more.
"If you naturally want to ask about how high your talent is, you can ask me. If your talent can stand on the ground, it would only be an inch compared to a dragon-level talent like mine."
