Let you simulate life, but you change fate every time?!

Chapter 802: Chapter 433: Seventh Life: Celestial Spirit City, Accepting the Mission! (Part 2)

Out of a thousand Nascent Soul cultivators, only two or three would be chosen.

After analyzing this information, Lu Yuan did not hesitate and directly chose to undertake a task.

The risk of cultivating in the face of calamity is too high.

As for the Demon Suppression Guard, their salary is too low; that pay is merely a drop in the ocean for him, and furthermore, he would be restrained. It’s better not to choose this.

Comparatively speaking,

gaining resources by undertaking tasks is undoubtedly more suitable for him.

With this thought,

Lu Yuan immediately headed to the City Lord’s Mansion to see if there were any tasks suitable for him.

Flying in the sky is prohibited for outsiders at the Demon Suppression Star.

He could only walk there, wandering in the city, and after half an hour finally arrived at the City Lord’s Mansion.

A grand and ancient building stood before him, with a stone monument placed in front.

The monument reached a height of a hundred zhang, its surface covered in tiny, dense characters that upon first glance would make one dizzy.

"Dangerous Task: Seeking thirty Divinity Transformation cultivators to escort a caravan to the Celestial Sea Star Realm. Each person will be rewarded with one hundred low-grade star cores!"

"Ordinary Task: Hiring a Returning Void stage strong person for one month of instruction, specializing in Fire Element Technique. Reward: Five hundred low-grade star cores!"

"Extremely Difficult Task: The Yao Family offers a large reward for the head of the third leader of the Black Wind Pirate Gang, whose power is at the Unity stage. Reward: Five million low-grade star cores!"

...

Lu Yuan scanned through and instantly browsed tens of thousands of tasks.

He found that according to the danger level, all tasks can roughly be divided into three categories: ordinary, dangerous, and extremely difficult.

The higher the task difficulty, the richer the reward, but the likelihood of casualties also increases. For example, the casualty rate for extremely difficult tasks is as high as 90%!

"I am new here and not yet familiar with the area. To be prudent, let me choose a moderate difficulty task first."

Lu Yuan picked out and made a decision.

[Dangerous-Level Task: Protect the Yao Family’s Blood Flame Crystal Vein from invasion by Demon Races strong persons, requiring Returning Void Perfection power. Reward: Five thousand low-grade star cores a month.]

Having taken the task, a City Lord’s Mansion guard immediately approached and handed Lu Yuan a more detailed briefing.

Blood Flame Star.

Located three hundred light-years from Demon Suppression Star, it is a renowned resource-rich star in the Chaotic Demon Star Realm, famous for its production of Blood Flame Crystal Stones.

Initially, the Yao Family had to undergo fierce battles and pay an extremely heavy price to seize this planet from other forces.

However, within the Blood Flame Crystal lies extremely rich fire element energy that can not only accelerate high-tier cultivators’ cultivation speed but can also be widely used in alchemy, artifact creation, and array formation.

Precisely because of this,

Blood Flame Crystals are highly sought after in the market, and the Yao Family’s annual profit is astronomical.

However, such a lucrative prize naturally attracts the envy of many forces.

This is why the Yao Family patriarch, as a Harmonization Perfection strong person with unfathomably deep cultivation, can barely intimidate other petty forces.

But what truly troubles them is,

Blood Flame Star is located near a dimensional rift, where Demon Race strong persons frequently cross over to snatch Blood Flame Crystals.

The Yao Family suffers great losses and is constantly vexed.

After a period of reflection and determination,

they decided to spend heavily to hire over a hundred Returning Void Ancient Saints to oversee this star.

"Five thousand low-grade star cores a month—this is a fortune even for Returning Void Ancient Saints. The Yao Family is indeed wealthy."

Lu Yuan pondered silently.

But the higher the reward, the greater the risk.

Of course,

this risk is trivial in Lu Yuan’s eyes.

He has gone through multiple reincarnations and mastered five types of Power of Supreme Laws; he can even fight Unity True Immortals.

As long as he is cautious, few can pose any threat to him.

...

Within Celestial Spirit City.

Yao Family Manor.

Located in the central area of the city, covering a vast space exceeding ten thousand mu, the multitude of palaces and countless gardens are akin to a labyrinth.

Led by a servant,

Lu Yuan walked through corridor after corridor, arriving at a flat garden area.

"Sir, please wait here for a moment. Elder Yao Tong will arrive shortly."

The servant said respectfully.

"Alright."

Lu Yuan nodded, not in any hurry.

He looked around and found quite a number of Returning Void strong persons gathered here.

These individuals vary in stature and come from different races.

Yet without exception, each person exudes extremely strong energy.

Among them, there was even a cosmic creature made entirely of silver metal, its eyes shining with a captivating blue light.

This was undeniably a strong person from the Mechanical Race!

As soon as Lu Yuan stepped into this place, plenty of gazes were cast upon him, evidently assessing his power.

"Friend, did you come here alone too?"

A burly strongman from the Wolfman Race, towering at three meters and covered in blue fur, walked up to him with a friendly greeting.

"My name is Volker, from the Celestial Wolf Race, pleased to meet you."

"My name is... Lu Yuan."

Lu Yuan pondered for a moment, then spoke his true name.

In fact.

The Star Alliance’s information travels at incredible speed; those interested can easily find out about his data and information.

So rather than hiding, it’s better to use his real name.

Moreover, he’s a lone wanderer now, so there’s nothing to fear.

"I know you, a young strongman from the Prisoner Dragon Star System, number one wanted by the Terran Empire."

Upon hearing Lu Yuan say his real name, Volker chuckled, slightly lowering his guard.

The Celestial Wolf Race has always been brutal, bloodthirsty, and combative.

But Volker is an anomaly.

Unlike the careless nature of his kin, he prefers to plan carefully and gather useful information as much as possible before making a move.

So he had already investigated the identities of his fellow travelers before coming here, knowing quite a bit about many people.

He had also talked to many people earlier, but only Lu Yuan spoke the truth.

From this perspective.

Compared to other companions, clearly, Lu Yuan is more trustworthy.

"Number one wanted, huh? Seems like the Terran Empire really values me."

Lu Yuan shrugged his shoulders, speaking indifferently.

Now that he’s on the Demon Suppression Star, even if the Terran Empire knows his whereabouts, they can’t do anything about it.

Moreover, his power is no longer what it used to be.

The Imperial Family of the Terran Empire must consider carefully whether to insist on a never-ending battle with a Returning Void Perfection strong person for the Divine Wood Star!

"A friend with great courage."

Volker gave a thumbs up, sincerely admiring Lu Yuan’s calm demeanor.

The others guessed it too, slightly turning their eyes and looking at Lu Yuan with newfound respect.

Those daring to set foot in the Chaotic Demon Star Realm are unruly individuals.

To them, being on the Star Alliance’s wanted list is more valuable than a medal of honor.

Not long after.

An old man with silver hair dressed in a black robe, with dragon-like steps, entered the clearing surrounded by a group of people.

"I greet the Third Elder."

This person clearly has high prestige and status.

As soon as he appeared, other Returning Void strong people clasped their fists respectfully.

Seeing this scene.

Lu Yuan also imitated them, lifting his hand to clasp his fist, though a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Because this silver-haired elder had a deep and majestic aura, he was undeniably a genuine Unity True Immortal!

"No need for formalities, fellow Daoists."

Yao Tong clasped his fist in return.

"Presumably, everyone already knows the mission for this journey. The Demon Race has become increasingly rampant lately, and this time I will personally lead the team to the Blood Flame Star."

"I rely on all of you for this matter. Once the Demon Race retreats, I will offer a great gift to everyone."

"No time to delay, we will depart now."

As soon as he finished speaking.

Yao Tong flicked his finger, and a stream of light burst into the sky, transforming into a hundred-meter Bronze Warship that landed steadily on the clearing.

The warship was indestructible, made entirely of some kind of blue Divine Iron, and its surface was imprinted with countless Law Dao Patterns.

Just by releasing a hint of pressure, it caused everyone’s expressions to change slightly, feeling a sudden sense of unease.

"Top-Grade Immortal Artifact?"

Feeling the terrifying fluctuations emanating from the surface of the warship, Lu Yuan’s heart trembled slightly, a glint of surprise flashing through his eyes.

Under normal circumstances.

Only someone with Perfect Unity Cultivation can unleash the power of a Top-Grade Immortal Artifact.

And though Yao Tong is powerful, he is only at the early Unity Stage now.

To possess a Top-Grade Immortal Artifact at the early Unity Stage is unimaginable for many True Immortal strong people.

Seems like the rumors are true; the Yao Family is indeed overflowing with wealth.

Though Lu Yuan thought this way in his heart, his actions weren’t slow, following other Returning Void Ancient Saints onto the Bronze Warship.

"Swoosh!"

In the next moment.

The Bronze Warship ascended into the sky, transforming into a cyan rainbow and disappearing into the horizon.

Yet, no one noticed that just after Yao Tong and others set out.

A few ordinary-looking cultivators quietly left Celestial Spirit City and silently followed them.
