Chapter 209:1 Know How to Catch That Guy (1)
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
As Shan Yao, a cultivator of unknown origin, actually surpassed a group of heavenly prides and seized the first crown to reach the top, many cultivators were envious and had their competitive spirits stimulated.
How did a seemingly ordinary young female cultivator pass the Immortal Ladder test and beat those who had been cultivating in the sect since they were young and put in a lot of effort?
Hence, the originally quiet crowd quickly became restless.
“Charge!” a cultivator in puberty shouted.
Then, a large number of cultivators began to rush toward the Immortal Ladder test.
Lu Yuan had also quietly blended into the crowd.
However, just like before, he maintained his position in the middle of the crowd.
In this position, Lu Yuan could attack or defend.
Once something happened, he would also be able to respond immediately.
When Lu Yuan stepped onto the Immortal Ladder, he immediately revealed a strange expression not because of the spiritual pressure on the Immortal Ladder, but because he realized that his Divine Soul Disguise technique seemed to have deceived even the array formation on the Immortal Ladder.
Logically speaking, his true cultivation level was that of a nine-patterned way of the heavens golden core cultivator.
The pressure he was feeling right now should be the spiritual pressure of a nine-patterned way of the heavens golden core cultivator.
However, Lu Yuan felt the spiritual pressure of a one-patterned way of the heavens golden core cultivator.
This discovery also made Lu Yuan more confident in his plan.
He could even deceive an inanimate object like a magic array. There was no reason why he couldn’t fool others.
However, although the Immortal Ladder test did not pressure him at all, Lu Yuan was very clear about the importance of a “disguise”.
After Lu Yuan stepped onto the Immortal Ladder, he put on an appearance of being under great pressure.
Although he was still advancing steadily, his speed was much slower than that of an ordinary person.
The others were in a similar situation.
Very quickly, the originally crowded crowd was separated into several groups.
The first few were undoubtedly the people in the same group as Shan Yao.
Their talent was shocking, and their cultivation was the best among their peers. Thus, they had climbed the furthest.
However, many of them were stuck at the 90th step of the Immortal Ladder.
The second group of cultivators were the direct disciples of various sects.
Although the direct disciples did not have the shocking performance of the heavenly prides like Shan Yao, they naturally had some skills.
Thus, they quickly arrived at the 50th to 90th step of the Immortal Ladder.
The third group was the ordinary disciples of other sects.
Among the disciples, there were even some Core Formation Stage elders.
Lu Yuan saw his master, Han Yuanshan, in the crowd.
Obviously, Han Yuanshan’s cultivation was not bad, and his pill refinement skills were outstanding.
However, the Immortal Ladder test could be said to treat everyone equally. Whether one was in the Foundation Establishment Stage or the Core Formation Stage, one would suffer the pressure corresponding to their cultivation.
Therefore, Han Yuanshan, who was in the Core Formation Stage, had no advantage there.
As for Han Yuanshan’s pill refinement skill, it was even more meaningless there.
After all, the best way to pass the Immortal Ladder test was to have divine abilities that could resist the spiritual pressure.
Han Yuanshan, as an alchemist, was undoubtedly not equipped with this.
Looking at Han Yuanshan staggering up the Immortal Ladder step by step like an 8o-year-old man, Lu Yuan could not help but ridicule in his heart, “Master, you’re already so old. Why are you still like those hotheaded youths around you, coming to get involved in this mess? Even if you can finally pass through the Heavenly Gate and enter the Upper Realm, won’t you be putting yourself in an extremely awkward position? In the Lower Realm, you are a respected Core Formation Stage elder and a pharmacist with unique skills. But in the Upper Realm, even if you still have some value, whether it’s status or reputation, it’s definitely not as much as in the Lower Realm.”
Lu Yuan, who respected the old and loved the young, felt a little sorry for Han Yuanshan, who was over 200 years old yet climbing the Immortal Ladder. However, since Lu Yuan decided that he would not take any risks, he decided to pretend that he didn’t see anything.
After all, if Lu Yuan were to get involved with Han Yuanshan, it could come back to bite him later.
Be extremely careful. That had always been Lu Yuan’s motto.
Slowly, Lu Yuan strayed from the third group and joined the second group.
Seeing Lu Yuan’s unfamiliar face appear, the surrounding cultivators first glanced at him, then stopped pouring their attention.
The second group had fewer people than the first group.
However, for some reason, Lu Yuan felt a strange feeling the moment he entered the second group.
The feeling was very mysterious, as if someone was secretly observing him.
Although Lu Yuan really wanted to find out who was observing him, he knew that the smart move was to pretend that he had not discovered anything and continue moving forward.
Only in that way could he act like a true one-patterned way of the heavens golden core cultivator without arousing suspicion.
Meanwhile, in the Sacred Realm where the Immortal Ascension Assembly was occurring, Immortal Gathering, three people were observing the scene reflected in the water..
