Chapter 532. Attempting Again, Failure, the Plan Begins

That was right. To Lu Yuan, the most important thing right now was to improve his cultivation and realm, and grow stronger.

Everything that followed would depend on this. After hearing what Jiang Taiyu had said, he became even more determined.

Above the Immortal Realm, there were even higher realms. This was still far from the end.

Right now, he was only a Creation Immortal. In this universe, he might seem powerful, but he had not yet reached the peak. As long as an opportunity appeared, Lu Yuan would never let it slip by.

After adjusting his condition slightly, he sat cross-legged. Before that, Lu Yuan used some methods to temporarily isolate the room.

There was no guarantee that someone would not suddenly barge in. It might not have much effect on him, but it was still best to guard against accidents.

After doing all of this, he took a deep breath, composed himself, and focused.

Since leaving Earth, he had fought the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons twice. During those battles, he had also brought out his true strength.

Although it had looked as if he crushed them outright, it was still different from before, because he had fought seriously both times.

A life-and-death battle did not merely mean forcing oneself into a desperate situation, then finding an opportunity at the critical moment and stimulating one's potential to take another step forward. There was another side to it as well.

In that state, a person could more easily understand where their limits were. This could also be considered a continual understanding of oneself, using that as a foundation to advance further.

Lu Yuan felt that he had gained some comprehension in this area, so he wanted to try and see whether he could comprehend the so-called Celestial Seat laws and step into the Celestial Seat Immortal Realm.

In this state, the ancient Bodhi Tree in his mind emitted layers of light.

He felt as though he had once again entered outer space. The workings of all things appeared clearly before him.

Lu Yuan once again observed everything from the perspective of a bystander. During this process, he felt as though he had grasped something, but for some unknown reason, he could not control it.

It was still the same as before. Perhaps Lu Yuan had already come into contact with the Celestial Seat laws, but he had not comprehended them. Even with the support of the ancient Bodhi Tree, that remained the case.

The reason was simple. Regardless, his cultivation timespan was too short.

Among those in this universe who had reached the Celestial Seat Immortal Realm, which one of them was not astonishingly talented, with reserves accumulated over countless years?

How long had it been since Lu Yuan began cultivating and evolving? Even with the foundation forged by those divine artifacts, the time was still too short.

Being able to reach his current achievements with an extremely solid foundation was already difficult. If he wanted to rise another level, there were only two methods.

The first was accumulation through time. The second was to gain sudden enlightenment at a certain moment and take that step.

The first method clearly would not work for Lu Yuan. He simply did not have that much time, so he could only rely on the second.

But such opportunities could only be encountered, not sought.

Thus, when Lu Yuan opened his eyes again, his aura had not changed in the slightest. His realm and cultivation remained the same as before.

He seemed to have grown a little stronger, but without a breakthrough, the improvement was too limited.

Perhaps I'm too anxious. After sensing all this, helplessness surfaced in Lu Yuan's eyes. He really wanted to advance further, and he had put in great effort for it, but things had gone against his wishes again and again.

Thinking about it carefully, he realized that he had indeed been too anxious. To put it another way, he was chasing quick success.

All cultivation had to come naturally, like water flowing into a channel. At this critical point, he could not be impatient.

Lu Yuan also recognized this drawback, so he adjusted his emotions.

He stopped thinking about this matter and felt that he needed to take it slowly. If his mentality remained the same as before, the result would likely not change at all.

What mattered most now was adjusting his mindset.

Lu Yuan was also completely certain that he would eventually reach the Celestial Seat Immortal Realm. It was only a question of time.

Next, he had to place his attention elsewhere and temporarily stop thinking about breaking through.

The eighth Celestial Emperor's Ancient Token is in the Celestials' other ancestral land.

Senior Jiang Taiyu's plan is to use this to draw out the Celestials and the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons, then have me enter the ancestral land and take that Celestial Emperor's Ancient Token. We cannot have any accidents during this process.

At this moment, Lu Yuan thought about what he had to do next.

What could be confirmed now was that only he and Jiang Taiyu knew about the eighth Celestial Emperor's Ancient Token.

In addition, the Celestials were also hiding the information.

Otherwise, if word spread, setting aside how the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons would react, the various clans of the cosmos alone would not let it go.

The fewer people who knew about such a matter, the better. Otherwise, things would become even more troublesome.

Especially where the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons were concerned. Therefore, this had to be done discreetly, though Lu Yuan was not too worried about that.

The Celestials would definitely do everything they could to conceal the news. As long as nothing unexpected happened afterward, there would be no problem. Even if the Celestials lost the Celestial Emperor's Ancient Token, they would not publicize it.

Otherwise, it might very well arouse the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons' displeasure.

"Senior Jiang said three days from now. My recent seclusion used two days, so after one more day of preparation, it should be about time."

Lu Yuan stopped thinking further. He gathered his mind and began adjusting his state.

If nothing went wrong, the plan would begin soon. What he had to do was wait.

After entering the ancestral land, he might have to face another battle. In short, no matter what happened, he had to face these matters in peak condition.

Just like that, time passed bit by bit.

Another day went by.

Lu Yuan sensed someone approaching his room early on. It was Jiang Ningxian.

He withdrew his aura and walked out.

"Father said he will lead some people to counterattack the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons. Anyone above the Grotto-Heaven Immortal Realm needs to participate."

Jiang Ningxian did not waste words and immediately informed him. However, she did not know her father's true purpose in this trip.

Lu Yuan naturally would not say much. He immediately nodded. "Since Senior Jiang has spoken, I naturally will not shut myself away. Let's go."

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Jiang Ningxian's face. A teasing thought rose in her heart, and she said, "What? Even now, you still call my father Senior? Are you not planning to change how you address him?"

As soon as these words came out, Lu Yuan froze for a moment.

Then he laughed and immediately replied, "How should I address him then? Tell me, and I'll do as you say."

The affection between the two of them was easy to see, yet neither of them ever said it outright.

Of course, not everyone noticed it.

For example, Jiang Haokong also walked over then with doubt on his face. He said directly, "Sister, Lu Yuan, what are you two doing here? Father is still waiting for us."

He then gave the two of them a strange look and immediately turned to leave.

This made Lu Yuan and Jiang Ningxian look at one another.

Then both shook their heads with a smile. They said nothing more and followed after him.
