They left behind a method to prevent the Mountain God from stealing the luck while guarding it.
After making sure that no one had trespassed, the Mountain God fell into a deep sleep again.
Generally speaking, as long as no one triggered the arrays here, the Mountain
God would remain asleep.
Once the arrays were triggered, the trespasser would face the wrath of the
Mountain God.
At the same time, the uneasiness in Lu Yuan’s heart gradually disappeared.
Then, a strong urge welled up in him.
“Now is the time to leave!” he thought to himself.
Lu Yuan followed his instincts and immediately flew outside.
His speed was so fast that only his afterimage could be seen.
He did not fly in a straight line, but instead flew erratically.
He had no idea why he did that. It was just a feeling he had.
He felt that this was the best way to fly in order to escape!
Lu Yuan followed his instincts and soon arrived beyond the fog.
He did not stop. Instead, he continued to fly until he was dozens of miles away from the area. Only then did he end his Destined Time.
Almost immediately as Lu Yuan ended his Destined Time, the Mountain God suddenly opened his eyes.
Something was off. There was a problem!
The Mountain God quickly stood up, and his statue-like body began to enlarge.
After a golden light circulated his body, a 100-meter-tall Dharma Idol appeared at the edge of the small hill.
He first looked at the river of luck behind him, then looked down.
The river of luck suddenly showed a surge in luck.
The sudden fluctuation of luck was definitely not influenced by the outside world.
The Mountain God recalled that the luck here would be accumulated for 300 years before it was sent to the Upper Realm.
In other words, if there was a decrease in luck due to the empire, it would be an overall decrease in luck, not a sudden decrease in luck during transfer.
What did this mean? This meant that someone had absorbed some luck during the transfer!
At the thought of this, the Mountain God was instantly enraged!
Damn it, why hadn’t he noticed this detail before!
The Mountain God felt humiliated when he thought about how someone had been able to secretly siphon off the luck for several days under his watch.
However, after his initial outburst, the Mountain God regained his cool.
Now that his luck had returned to normal, it meant that the other party had either left or hid themselves.
The Mountain God felt that the latter was the most likely possibility.
The fact that the other party did not dare to alarm him signified that their strength was definitely not high.
At the very least, they were not strong enough to defeat him.
Otherwise, the thief wouldn’t be so careful.
The cautious Mountain God remained on guard and secretly observed the surroundings over the next few months.
However, Lu Yuan, who had long escaped, caused the former’s vigilance to be in vain.
Back in the Niu Family Village in the Full Moon Mountain Range.
“Sister Wan’er, where is Sir?”
Shan Yao came to Lu Yuan’s courtyard and curiously asked Xu Wan’er, who was planting vegetables in the courtyard.
Xu Wan’er raised her head and smiled as she replied, “Sir said that he has something to do. He went out and won’t be back for some time.”
Hearing this, Shan Yao immediately revealed a disappointed expression.
She originally wanted to show Lu Yuan her current gains.
More than two years had passed since they entered the Myriad Bone Forest.
After entering the Myriad Bone Forest, Lu Yuan quickly parted ways with them.
After that, Shan Yao followed the other two masters and trained on expeditions for a period of time before returning.
In these two and a half years, Shan Yao felt that her strength had made great progress.
She had yet to reach the True Martial Realm.
However, at the Innate Grade, Shan Yao felt that she was invincible.
Therefore, she, who was a little arrogant, wanted to surprise Lu Yuan by letting him test her current strength.
Unfortunately, Lu Yuan was not around.
At this moment, Lu Yuan was not in Niu Family Village.
This was because he was currently in a very crucial period of his cultivation.
In a mountain range dozens of miles away from Niu Family Village.
“I have succeeded!”
Looking at the pill furnace in front of him, Lu Yuan revealed a rare expression of surprise.
For him to reveal such an expression, something particularly important must have happened.
Five golden pills slowly flew out of the pill furnace.
Compared to the pills Lu Yuan had refined before, not only were the patterns on the surface of these five pills more complicated, but the surface of the pills also emitted a special gleam.
[Golden Core Creation Pill (Perfect)]
[Effect: After consuming this pill, it can increase the success rate of core formation by 10%.]
These perfect-grade golden core creation pills were the result of Lu Yuan paying 10,000 points of luck value.
When he previously refined pills, he had not spent any luck value.
However, these golden core creation pills were different.
If they were just ordinary grade golden core creation pills, Lu Yuan naturally would not have to pay so much luck.
However, these perfect-grade golden core creation pills were not ordinary medicinal pills.
If people knew that Lu Yuan could refine these pills, he would definitely be sought after by countless people from the Upper Realm, let alone the Lower Realm.
After all, these pills could increase the number of Core Formation Stage cultivators in a sect.
There were many Core Formation Stage cultivators in the Upper realm.
However, compared to the huge population of the Upper Realm, the ratio of Core Formation Realm cultivators there was not much greater than that of the Lower Realm.
Another crucial point was that with the golden core creation pills, cultivators could try to cultivate a few more spiritual roots before advancing to the Core Formation Stage.
The number of spiritual roots they had when they formed their core would affect their cultivation after.
However, even with the golden core creation pills, the difficulty of Lu Yuan’s Core Formation was still terrifyingly high.
After all, his Core Formation not only involved nine Foundation Establishment Stage spiritual roots, but nine that had formed through the way of the heavens.
Ordinary people might be able to advance to the Core Formation Stage with one or two spiritual roots, but to do so with nine spiritual roots was too shocking.
Setting aside how difficult it was to have nine Foundation Establishment Stage spiritual roots formed through the way of the heavens, it was almost impossible to advance to the Core Formation Stage after having done so.
The difficulty even exceeded that of breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage from the Core Formation Stage.
If it weren’t for the system, Lu Yuan wouldn’t have had the confidence to complete this feat.
With the system around, Lu Yuan felt that he was ready.
Golden core creation pills…Ready!
More than 100,000 luck points…Ready!
Nine Foundation Establishment spiritual roots formed through the way of the heavens…Ready!
Lu Yuan had prepared everything he could.
The only thing left was to solve the problem of timing and location.
In terms of geographical advantage, Lu Yuan had found a blessed grotto-heaven.
The density of spiritual energy in this place was two to three times more than the place he used when he was in the Qingyun Sect.
In order to occupy this place, Lu Yuan had taken the risk to kill a Core Formation Stage monster.
That was how he managed to find such a good place.
To prevent anyone from disturbing him, he had set up many arrays in the surroundings.
This was to ensure that no one would appear when he was breaking through.
Lu Yuan had even completely cleared out the demons within 100 miles half a year ago.
Some people might question why Lu Yuan had to destroy these demons before they even bothered him.
Lu Yuan considered people who had such thoughts to be too careless.
Just because the demons didn’t bother him before this, it didn’t mean that they would not do so when was breaking through.
Instead of having to fight them while he was breaking though, it was better to get rid of them first.
After all, Lu Yuan remembered that when the main characters of many novels broke through, almost none of them had it easy.
All kinds of enemies would appear to interfere with the protagonist’s breakthrough.
Lu Yuan did not want such a situation to happen.
Therefore, getting rid of these demons first would undoubtedly reduce the risk of such an occurrence.
He had taken clearing the demons into account when he considered a suitable location.
Now that he was ready and he had found a suitable location, all that was left was the right time.
As for the timing, apart from Lu Yuan’s usual prayer to the heavens, he included an additional step this time.
He had already prepared a present for the heavens!
It was his way to show his gratitude towards the heavens.
How could he not bring a present when he was asking for help?
