"We don't need to take any other risks."
"The only difficulty lies with the Medicine Emperor Remnant Soul."
"Trying to snatch someone from the hands of a Dou Emperor is no ordinary challenge!"
"Even if that Dou Emperor is just a wisp of a remnant soul!"
To be honest, if Yao Lao were currently a Nine Star Dou Sheng, Lu Yuan would not hesitate to take him there. But Yao Lao was currently only a Two-Star Dou Sheng. Although this rate of advancement was already incredibly fast—practically miraculous—normal Dou Sheng cultivation was measured in centuries.

For example, Xiao Xuan.
For example, Hun Tiandi.
