Origin Court: Accepting Disciples With A System-Chapter 284 Break Through With No Bounds
The Golden Lotus Scripture had a total of six parts where one would form six lotuses of different colors in one's soul. It would boost one's qi reserves tremendously and would help someone's soul to be strengthened.
The Golden Lotus Scripture was unknown. Even the other scriptures Yang Lujia lent to his disciples were unknown. His, even.
The Golden Lotus Scripture was perfect for the monks to practice as this would further beef up their will to resist temptations, especially the temptations against worldly emotions or feelings. However, there was one thing that they would pursue—even if it meant killing others—as long as peace could be attained, no matter the ways, they would enact it.
It was the same for Sheng Ao.
When he was branded to have been tempted by a devil woman, he was immediately expelled from the Holy Light Palace by the emperor himself, who took care of him since he was a kid. The temptation to solve this problem of his was not entertained—because by then, the palace would be filled with not peace—but chaos—the one that was not explosive. From it, discrimination would be born in the minds of the emperor's people.
Thus, even if he built an attachment to Sheng Ao, the Holy Light Emperor did not allow this bond to flourish even with their circumstances back then.
"Master, this is amazing," Sheng Ao complimented. He rarely complimented or showed any emotions due to him being a monk, but now, he was showing these things. "This Golden Lotus Scripture… I felt very good about it. It was like the lotus that was forming in my soul was constantly washing my soul…"
"Have you formed your first lotus already?" Yang Lujia asked his disciple. "What's its color?"
"It's vibrantly green," Sheng Ao replied.
"Good. How about your cultivation?" Yang Lujia asked.
They had been staying within the forest for days while eating the reserves of the body parts of phoenixes that he had. Well, he did not entirely finish them. He still had to spare some for his other disciples—not with Feng Huang, though.
And while Sheng Ao was cultivating from time to time, he was trying to break through many levels and get back to his current state.
"I'm already at the peak of the Saint Realm, master. In fact, I'm already nearing the Saint King Realm. It's really amazing. This scripture just makes it whole a lot easier," he said.
Yang Lujia nodded and said, "That's sufficient enough, I think. I feel like we have to move now. I feel like something is missing. You said in your stories that you all have the means to go down the lower realms, right? And you have personally experienced it yourself? You even eradicated some evil forces like what you said? How did you do it?"
Sheng Ao nodded to his master and decided to tell him everything that he experienced that day. "Well, it was actually simple. It just needed the collective work of all the Arch-Cardinals of the Holy Light Palace to do so. As for the means or should I say, the 'object' that we used to carry me towards the lower realms, it was actually the vessel."
Yang Lujia's brows perked up. This wasn't entirely a new term for him, but in this world, this might mean another. So, he listened.
Seeing his master's inquisitive look, Sheng Ao hurriedly continued and said, "This vessel is called the Luminescence. It is a ball-shaped object that carried me towards the lower realms to enact a mission. The Holy Light Emperor… he said that there was one more of these vessels as the other palaces and the two temples had these as well… even the four regions…"
"I see," Yang Lujia replied and sent a mental message to Fortuniel.
'Do you know anything about these vessels?'
'Host, the vessels are like transport devices that could bring one entity or two to another realm or world. I am also not certain, but according to my memories, this is what it is telling me. Moreover, it has further uses that it can also bring an entire realm or world, if it was big enough, to another entity.'
"Let's go first—"
"Wait, master, I'm breaking through again!" Sheng Ao interrupted him and immediately sat in a lotus position to achieve another breakthrough.
"…"
Yang Lujia looked at this disciple of his and was speechless. Sheng Ao's whole body was vibrating with the abundance of qi essences. It was like he was bathed with it that Yang Lujia unconsciously saw a crown forming on his head, but that was all. He only thought it was only a hallucination of his and decided to wait for Sheng Ao's breakthrough. 𝗳𝔯𝙚e𝒘e𝚋𝘯𝚘ν𝙚l.𝑐o𝙢
First Stage, Saint King Realm!
Second Stage, Saint King Realm!
Third Stage, Saint King Realm!
Fourth Stage, Saint King Realm!
Yang Lujia's eyes widened as he recalled his other disciples who also broke through like this… like broken machines. Moreover, when he was about to reprimand Sheng Ao to mind over his foundation, especially when it came to forming crowns, he was immediately stumped and baffled—or surprised.
'He actually formed a total of 999 crowns!' Yang Lujia exclaimed in his mind. 'I wonder how many crowns I had back then when I was at this stage?'
Fifth Stage, Saint King Realm!
Sixth Stage, Saint King Realm!
All the crowns of this kid were slowly growing in feet, almost reaching the peak of the Saint King Realm.
He finally stopped at the tenth stage of the realm.
Tenth Stage, Saint King Realm!
Stabilized!
It had to be known that the entire forest they were in had abundant qi, almost limitless, but almost every part of the forest was sucked dry of qi. What was even more shocking was that this kid was actually trying to break through to the Saint Emperor Realm.
No way!
Others would definitely throw profanities at this kid if they saw it. Even so, he knew that due to this kid's nature, he wouldn't even give a damn fart over that kind of people.
'Host, there is insufficient qi in the area. You can move and call the qi around the nearest areas and converge them on this spot, so he would be able to absorb more. Moreover, you didn't need to worry whether or not his foundation would be stable. Worry about yourself. You even broke through faster than him when you were at his stage, Host.'
Yang Lujia was shocked that Fortuniel seemed to have revealed something about his cultivation. It seemed like his cultivation wasn't any slower than his disciples. Moreover, Fortuniel himself confirmed that he was faster. Well, obviously, since he was the master, it was only natural for him to be talented like any other master would be.
Inferiora, Saint Emperor Realm!
He was even halfway towards the next stage, but Sheng Ao decided to stop and opened his eyes, looking at his master with his nonchalant eyes but still looking grateful as he bowed. He learned that for his situation to be solved, or for him to be able to redeem himself, it was a prerequisite for him to be calm. That was supposed to be the type of bald monk he would be, just like how he was not susceptible to the pleasing remarks of other people, merely receiving them like a king who had praises over his foot that he disdained to accept.
"You've reached the Saint Emperor Realm. It seems like you're more talented than what I initially thought," Yang Lujia commented as they set off in the air.
"Master, don't try to tease this bald young man. I'm nothing compared to my senior brothers and senior sister. They're the true geniuses. I don't know what stage they had already reached today… but for certain, they would be higher than mine—"
"Let's not compare you with the others. When I said you are talented, more than at that, you are talented. No need for explanations or elaborations. Anyway, let's catch up. I kept feeling a foreboding feeling but it wasn't dangerous as I thought. It was just something tough that might be or might not be necessarily destructive to the realm…" Yang Lujia said.
As they began flying away from where they stayed for days, Sheng Ao was in the lead while Yang Lujia was asking him questions about his strength. "Just how strong you are now?"
"I could probably battle against a peak Saint Emperor, master. A normal one at that. My rules are still not that solid, despite me having this high cultivation level."
"Rules, huh… can you tell me more about it while we're on our way?"
