When Lu Rong learned that Earth Immortals in the Azure Firmament Dust-Dyed Realm did not casually search souls, he initially found it incomprehensible.
It was just a soul search. How could that expose a High Cultivator's schemes?
In the Mountain-Sea Profound Yellow Realm, searching someone's soul after killing them was as routine as an everyday meal. Both the Righteous Dao and the Demonic Dao practiced it.
High Cultivators stood far above everyone else. How could their schemes involve someone whose soul he could search?
Even if High Cultivators had plans involving certain low-realm cultivators, those were a tiny minority. He would have to suffer eight lifetimes' worth of rotten luck to encounter even one.
Surely the esteemed High Cultivators of the Azure Firmament Dust-Dyed Realm did not spend all day doing nothing but watching and plotting against low-realm Lower Cultivators... haha, how could that be possible?
Although he did not understand why Earth Immortals avoided casually searching souls, this worked in his favor.
Zhang Yuan's five senses were keen. He could tell that Lu Rong was lying and felt secure enough to do so.
For a Celestial Person with status, a soul search was simple-a matter of a single thought.
But Golden Core True Lords laid their schemes throughout heaven and earth. Even a mortal by the roadside could be a chess piece placed by a Golden Core True Lord. Even if they were only the most inconspicuous idle piece, rashly searching their soul and learning something one should not know could very well drag the searcher into a True Lord's plans.
He had to be on guard.
It was best to entangle himself in as little karma as possible.
Still, being unable to search souls did not mean Zhang Yuan had no way to deal with Lu Rong.
