As Ling Wuyuan drove the [Torrent of Destiny] with all his might, attempting to forcibly anchor the most ideal final outcome—[As long as Ling Wuyuan was sufficiently careful and cautious during this infiltration of the Xikong Immortal Realm, he definitely would not be discovered!]—
Ling Wuyuan immediately judged that the amount of Law of Karma required to anchor that goal was so vast that it was somewhat beyond his ability to bear. It would consume nearly all of his reserves of Law of Karma.
Faced with that feedback, he immediately realized that the native powerhouses in this spacetime had indeed set up all manner of exquisitely ingenious measures to guard against the secret infiltration of outsiders.

Then, not long afterward, after some thought, the goal he sought to anchor swiftly changed—from [As long as Ling Wuyuan was sufficiently careful and cautious during this infiltration of the Xikong Immortal Realm, he definitely would not be discovered!] to [As long as Ling Wuyuan was sufficiently careful and cautious during this infiltration of the Xikong Immortal Realm, he would not be discovered for a short period of time!].
The goal changed from long-term to short-term.
Then, based on the amount of Law of Karma required,

During those five years,
