Origin Court: Accepting Disciples With A System-Chapter 237 The Change In Him

The extremely beautiful woman who had been trapped by Yang Lujia and who was previously screeching in pain miraculously vanished. Everything around him vanished as well. The realm that was both vibrantly green and blue was soon replaced by a pitch-black color.

"How is that reviving one's life?" Yang Lujia asked himself and soon understood the meaning behind this.

It turned out that the Vermillion Bird saying that this test involved the rules of life was only to mislead him. In fact, although it was just a simple test, it made Yang Lujia realize something. It made his previously nonchalant or ever-indifferent behavior regain its life as though he was supplied with much qi to go on.

Yang Lujia immediately understood. This was the method that the Vermillion Bird was meaning to say.

To suddenly lose yourself the second time around, you are akin to a dead person wandering around the desolate woods. You could fend off or kill every strong creature that would attack you—but you were no different from a headless fly, coursing through the air without any goal. You might have goals, but they were too shallow.

As for him, he protected his disciples—but that was not enough to incite him to do something like sacrificing his own life. In fact, although he dearly treated them like they were his children, it was mostly credited to him accepting the fact that they had become his disciples—but not people who were closely tied to his heart.

It was as though what he told his disciples in the past were all superficial words. They were like shiny but empty shells.

Now that he had grasped upon this opportunity to be enlightened, he immediately closed his eyes and meditated despite the dimness of his surroundings. When the Vermillion Bird saw this, she tried to remove Yang Lujia from the realm. However, the Black Tortoise poised in and interrupted her intention.

"Do not. He is in a state of enlightenment. I also don't know why he completed the test like that, but I can see that his body is undergoing some change. If before, he would be described as someone aloof and nonchalantly arrogant, at this moment, it would safe to say that he has already grasped the meaning of life."

The Vermillion Bird nodded seriously. If Yang Lujia knew that the Vermillion Bird herself did not know whether the test really involved the rules of life, he would probably vomit blood for expecting something like this from her. She was smart, but it wasn't enough to outsmart Yang Lujia's father, His Highness Yang Jinhai.

"It seems like I have mistaken," the Vermillion Bird mused. "Old Black, when you said he had grasped the meaning of life, what do you mean by that?"

"You'll see it later," the Black Tortoise replied, mystifying things.

"Hmph!" reacted the Vermillion Bird.

Only the Red Qilin and the White Tiger were looking at Yang Lujia with dumbfounded expressions. Despite the explanation given by the Black Tortoise, they didn't quite understand the idea.

"Just quit it you two, blockheads," the Black Tortoise ruthlessly called them out after noticing that they were still trying to understand the current situation. "You're not going to gain anything even if you know it. Moreover, Yang Lujia's temperament must have changed after this."

The Black Tortoise had been talkative all this time and this baffled them because this old thing didn't even want to open his eyes in the past, must less open his mouth. This old fellow would just stay within his territory—but now, he actually came out just to spectate Yang Lujia's performance. His actions were simply too abnormal. ƒ𝐫𝒆𝐞w𝗲𝚋𝗻૦𝘷e𝙡.c𝑜𝙢

"I didn't think I'd sharpen my mind due to this kind of enlightenment. Today, I finally found out that my life in this world was with a purpose, in fact, a myriad of purposes—the most I could say."

Yang Lujia was really riddled all the way from Da Shenghou to Da Shikong. He appeared in this world as a baby. Although it was unbelievable, but his soul truly came from another world. Moreover, his only goal back then was to strengthen himself as he knew that Zhuquan De was definitely not joking about several experts roaming around. If he would offend one of them, he would certainly meet his doom.

Hence, he was told to keep a low profile.

But that was actually not the case.

His case was special.

The more talented an individual would be, the more they would be coveted or killed by another. Either because he was too precious or they offended him. Yang Lujia was the same.

Thus, he kept a low profile.

However, he had gone overboard.

Even until his strength was already enough to sweep the entire five realms, he still did not come out—all because he was uncertain of his own strength and that others must be hiding their cultivation realms just like how he chose to hide his.

But not everyone would have the same attitude.

Most of the time, cultivators flaunt their strength in front of others just so they could cement authority over others. While some would choose to hide their strength, it might only be because they were hunted or they were afraid of trouble.

Yang Lujia felt both.

Until now, Yang Lujia felt like he was being stared at by someone.

However, if this person harbored ill intentions toward him, this person should have already made his move. But it seemed like it was otherwise.

As an old man who became notorious before, he realized how he had been stupid. Although he had long realized it, he still found himself stupid and could not accept how such "low-profile-ness" muddled and compelled his brain not to move. e adversities at times.

It was something he could pull his strength from other than the purpose and goals he had in life, although they were already a part of it.

"Now unto the next test, what could it be?" Yang Lujia asked himself and stood up.

The moment he disappeared, he already appeared in front of the five divine beasts. And at this time, they were all complete. That was because the Azure Dragon decided to spectate as well with his hands crossed over his chest like a human.

Seeing them, Yang Lujia was not surprised and instead turned to look at the Vermillion Bird with a calm expression. However, on his face, it was clearly different than his always nonchalant expression.

Yang Lujia was smiling amiably!

There were only several times when he smiled.

Either it was for doing cruel things or he was really sincere towards another.

Seeing the beauty that this boy possessed, even the Vermillion Bird could not resist and felt its scorching heartbeat abnormally. What was this feeling? fre𝙚𝓌𝒆𝚋noѵel.c𝚘m

Sensing that the Vermillion Bird became flustered just with the smile of Yang Lujia, the Azure Dragon laughed. However, thanks to himself, he incurred a glare from the former.

But although he laughed at the Vermillion Bird, he also could not help but be astonished by the aura Yang Lujia was emitting at the moment. It was like he was sharp and intimidating but at the same time very approachable.

It was akin to feeling pressure but this pressure was pleasurable.

Such demeanor was pleasing to look at and as though they were seeing the kindest but most terrifying among the immortals.

"Did I pass the test, senior?" Yang Lujia's voice and the way he addressed another were more refined than before.

What happened to this child to have this sudden change in temperament?

The Red Qilin credited everything to what Old Black told them. Could it be that this kid had grasped some profound outlook on life?

With his age?

'Oh, right. The master before also has the same temperament. Both of them were like molded into two but had the same creator,' the Red Qilin said in wonder.

"Yes, yes," the Vermillion Bird replied, appearing flustered.

They all clicked their tongues when they saw her acting like this. Yang Lujia was naturally not polite and said in his most gentle voice, "Then, senior what are the other two tests that I will undergo? Can you pray tell, senior?"

Seeing the smile on Yang Lujia's face again, the Vermillion Bird felt like at any time, she would lose her prestige as a divine beast. Other than it was humiliating, she did not want these other beasts to see her acting like that. It would be infuriating and disgusting!

She also had her pride just like theirs. She could not back down even if Yang Lujia had her flustered due to his incomparable looks. Surely, not only beautiful women could start a war. Even handsome men could.

Yang Lujia would be the best example. If he went to a women's country and was fancied by several women, there would certainly be endless disputes. Concubines were normal in this world, but it wouldn't sit well with them and they would extremely feel discontent by only becoming his concubine and not the main wife.
