BXBX NOVEL Chapter 206 Homebody
Even if there was a 99% chance that he would encounter danger, he could rely on the blessing of the way of the heavens to turn the danger into safety.
Of course, Lu Yuan actually had an even bolder idea.
If the conditions were right, he could even use multiple way of the heavens patterns to form a special golden core with more than two patterns and plunder even more.
However, the boldness of such a plan was ultimately vetoed by the steady Lu.
As the saying goes, one should not be too greedy.
Some things could be done nine times.
But if one were to suddenly do it dozens of times, given how strict the technical requirements were, Lu Yuan would probably just tire himself out.
Moreover, there was a very important point.
No matter how good Lu Yuan's disguise was or how perfect his alibi was, Lu Yuan could not turn his way of the heavens golden core into a way of the earth or way of humans golden core.
On the other hand, the Lower Realm could produce nine one-patterned way of the heavens golden cores at once, but it could not produce dozens of Evildoers with way of the heavens golden cores at the same time.
If Lu Yuan really carried out his plan, then what he would have to face at that time would not be as simple as an investigation from the Upper Realm.
For the mere Lower Realm to produce so many multi-patterned way of the heavens golden core cultivators at the same time, either the way of the heavens in the place had completed the level upgrade and could give birth to a large number of lucky individuals, or someone was playing tricks.
No matter what the situation was, the Upper Realm would definitely make up its mind to investigate the matter in the end.
Thus, to be on the safe side, Lu Yuan felt that it would be fine if he plundered just nine times.
Nine was the extreme number, and any more than that was dangerous.
After settling such plans, Lu Yuan began to arrange another matter.
After all, he had not forgotten what he had discovered in the Xueyang Sect stronghold.
A group of unfamiliar Upper Realm cultivators appeared there.
They definitely wanted to cause trouble.
It was just that Lu Yuan had yet to figure out what the other party was up to.
Through the conversation between them, Lu Yuan roughly deduced two possibilities.
The first possibility was that one of their goals was to steal the luck of the Lower Realm.
Although Lu Yuan didn't know if those guys were stealing luck the same way he was, Lu Yuan was very sure that the Upper Realm would definitely be alarmed by them.
Therefore, the Upper Realm would definitely send cultivators to the Lower Realm.
It was also because of this that Lu Yuan was extremely cautious about his Benefit Plundering plan.
Otherwise, if Lu Yuan was not careful, as a native of the Lower Realm, he might be grouped together with those three guys by the cultivators of the Upper Realm.
After all, ordinary people from the Lower Realm did not have such terrifying cultivation as Lu Yuan.
No one would believe that Lu Yuan's nine-patterned way of the heavens golden core was completely completed by luck.
They would only think that there was an incomparably huge organization behind Lu Yuan that was providing him with sufficient cultivation resources.
If Lu Yuan were them, Lu Yuan might have thought so too.
After all, how could a person from the Lower Realm have completely relied on luck to complete a way of the heavens golden core?
It was equivalent to a person winning the million-dollar prize nine times, and then winning another million-dollar prize.
Rather than believe it was all due to luck, one would think the person used some kind of underhanded method.
After all, how could there be such a lucky person?
As Lu Yuan was aware of how ridiculous his nine-patterned way of the heavens golden core appeared, he was cautious.
Being one step ahead of others was outstanding, being five steps ahead of others was a genius, and being ten steps ahead of others was monstrous.
By being a hundred steps ahead of others... One's life might be in danger.
The world did not allow such a powerful person to exist.
Therefore, in order to guard against the investigator-cultivators from the Upper Realm, Lu Yuan secured an alibi not only to prove that he did not participate in the Path for Immortal Ascension, but also to keep a distance from those guys from Xueyang Sect and avoid being implicated.
As for whether or not he should obstruct the other party's plan, Lu Yuan was not the kind of person who would sacrifice himself for others. After all, asking a mere Core Formation Stage cultivator like him to face three Nascent Soul Stage cultivators was out of the question.
Furthermore, Lu Yuan saw their doings as none of his business.
However, it was still difficult for him to stay out of it completely.
That was because the other party wanted to seize the luck of the Lower Realm and also capture geniuses from the Lower Realm to their own sect.
Therefore, in order to put an end to the risk of being arrested, Lu Yuan formulated many escape plans for when he would end up sharing the same space as those three Nascent Soul Stage cultivators.
This included but was not limited to never moving around in unfamiliar areas alone.
Whenever Lu Yuan saw the cultivators of Xueyang Sect appear in a certain area, he would immediately begin to run.
With so many preparations, Lu Yuan felt that his final trip to the Full Moon Mountain Range should be foolproof.
However, he was somehow still a little nervous because no plan could be perfect.
There were always variables in everything.
If a certain super-standard existence appeared in the Imperial capital and set its target on Lu Yuan, even if Lu Yuan had made so many arrangements, they would be useless in the face of absolute strength.
To the current Lu Yuan, cultivators of the Apotheosis Stage and above were considered super powerhouses.
But the appearance of powerhouses was not within Lu Yuan's control.
The only thing he could do was to keep a low profile.
Even if a super-powerful expert appeared, Lu Yuan would not be noticed by the other party. After all, as a qualified camper, Lu Yuan had to know how to hide himself well. However, a powerhouse like an Apotheosis Stage cultivator was a different story. Lu Yuan was currently most afraid of being caught by one.
...
Meanwhile, at the gathering point of the Immortal Ascension Assembly, in the sky above the palace, a huge Heavenly Gate appeared without anyone noticing.
The gate was so majestic that even a Core Formation Stage cultivator could feel how small they were by standing below.
However, the huge Heavenly Gate seemed to be visible only to those with cultivation.
This was because the people in the Imperial capital did not see the huge Heavenly Gate above the Palace.
In the gathering place of cultivators in the palace, Shan Yao was currently looking at Xu Wan'er with a puzzled expression and asked, "Wan'er, is Sir really not coming to participate in this Immortal Ascension Assembly? Doesn't he want to ascend to the Upper Realm and go to the wider world to take a look?"
Xu Wan'er did not answer immediately. Her mind involuntarily surfaced what she had seen and heard when she was with Lu Yuan.
If Lu Yuan didn't have a human golden core, Xu Wan'er would have suspected that he was a thousand-year-old turtle in human skin.
How could anyone not think of going out to take a look whenever they went to a new place, but instead immediately find a safe place to hide?
It was like this outside the Full Moon Mountain Range, and it was the same inside the Full Moon Mountain Range.
Thinking of that, Xu Wan'er said with a slightly emotional tone, "Shan Yao, in Sir's words, he is not the kind of person who is lively and likes to walk around. Sir once said that if I have to use a word to describe him, he is a standard homebody..."
"Homebody? What is a homebody?"
Hearing the new term, Shan Yao was very curious.
Xu Wan'er seemed to have thought of something and said with a smile, "Homebody... A homebody is a person who stays in their house all the time."
