Chapter 210:1 Know How to Catch That Guy (2)

The entire surface of the water was divided into three regions.

The first region was for the cultivators of the first group.

At the moment, other than Shan Yao, there were already a few more cultivators who had passed the Immortal Ladder test on the first day.

The remaining two regions were the second and third groups.

What made the two cultivators feel strange was that Jing Ming, an Apotheosis Stage cultivator, was not paying attention to the first group at the moment. Instead, he focused on the second group.

This made the two Upper Realm cultivators curious.

“Fellow Daoist Jing Ming, did you find someone interesting here?”

Hearing the question of a cultivator from the Upper Realm, Jing Ming said indifferently, “That’s not true. I just feel that among these people, there’s probably a thief who stole our luck.”

“Oh?”

When they heard Jing Ming’s words, they were also interested and began to observe the second group.

However, after observing for a while, they couldn’t find anything strange about those people.

“Fellow Daoist Jing Ming, how did you determine that there must be someone who stole luck among these people?”

However, Jing Ming shook his head. “I can’t be sure that that person will definitely be among this group of people. 1 just think that the probability of him appearing among these people is the highest.”

“Oh? Why do you say that?”

Jing Ming looked at the people climbing the mountain steadily on the screen and began to make his own deduction. “Although I don’t know who that audacious person is, I’m sure of one thing. That person’s cultivation level probably doesn’t exceed the Nascent Soul Stage, and should be between the Core Formation Stage and the Nascent Soul Stage.

Jing Ming continued, “Secondly, this guy should be very calm and collected. This can be seen from the fact that there were no clues left behind in the Forbidden Area. Back then, 1 found the only place in the Forbidden Area where luck could have been stolen. But the cave was likely a trace left behind by a certain dragon bone after it was revived. Other than that, there were no traces of a third party.”

He went on, “Originally, I could have used a spacetime reversal skill to see what had happened in the cave during that time. But unfortunately, that place is filled with luck, and any divine abilities will be affected. I can only go back one to two years at most. In the past two years, I haven’t seen any humans or demons. That also caused me to have some doubts about my judgment. I wondered if the missing luck was really stolen by someone. However, at that time, 1 learned of an interesting situation.”

Jing Ming continued, “The time when the luck decreased happened to be the time when the Myriad Bone Forest opened, and a large number of cultivators entered. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the luck was stolen at the same time as the opening of the Myriad Bones Forest. Thus, I determined that the person who stole the luck is among the group of cultivators who entered the Myriad Bones Forest. And those cultivators who entered the Myriad Bones Forest were all between the Core Formation stage and the Foundation Establishment Stage, so I reckon that even if this guy hid his strength, he would at most be at the Nascent Soul Stage and most likely only at the Core Formation Stage.”

Hearing that Jing Ming was certain that the guy who stole the luck was only at the Core Formation Stage, Yu Wenbai asked, “Fellow Daoist Jing Ming, why can’t this person be a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator?”

Meanwhile, Li Yuanhao didn’t say anything, but he looked at Jing Ming with the same puzzled expression as Yu Wenbai. He didn’t know why Jing Ming was so sure that the guy who stole the luck was at the Core Formation Stage.

Jing Ming looked at the two of them and expressed his judgment, “Fellow Daoists, I’ve also had the same doubts as you. After all, it’s hard to imagine a Core Formation Stage cultivator stealing luck without alerting a Nascent Soul Stage mountain god or the array. Even if it was me, there would be no guarantee that I would be able to complete such a feat while in the Core Formation Stage. But have you ever considered that the Full Moon Mountain Range was jointly built by the Three Upper Realm Sects? Not only are Core Formation Stage cultivators and demons not allowed to break through, but even the cultivators who can enter when it opens are also strictly selected.”

He continued, “The Forbidden Area, Myriad Bone Forest, opened 25 years ago. During that period, only Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators could enter the Full Moon Mountain Range. And I think everyone is very clear about the power of this restriction. Nascent Soul Stage experts will definitely not be able to enter. If a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator wants to deceive the array, they can only wait until the second area of the Forbidden Area is opened, which is also when Core Formation Stage cultivators can enter the mountain range. But the luck was stolen 25 years ago, which means that the cultivators who entered the mountain range at the beginning were only at the Foundation Establishment Stage. Even if they disguised themselves, they were at most at the Core Formation Stage.”

Jing Ming went on, “During this period of time, no one has triggered the array to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage. This also means that there is a high probability that there were no Nascent Soul Stage cultivators in the Full Moon Mountain Range at that time. In addition, the people who entered the Myriad Bones Forest at that time were basically all foreign cultivators. That’s why I’m certain that this guy who stole luck is definitely at the Core Formation Stage.” Jing Ming concluded, “Of course, this is only my personal guess. Perhaps some existence has been lurking in the mountain range in advance, waiting for this opportunity to steal the luck and finally shift the blame to others. However, I don’t think this speculation is reliable. After all, it is unlikely to steal just a bit of luck at such a huge cost.”

After listening to Jing Ming’s analysis, Yu Wenbai and Li Yuanhao also came back to their senses.

Indeed, from the looks of it, the guy who stole the luck was most likely at the Core Formation Stage.

One could even narrow the scope down to the group of cultivators who had entered the Forbidden Area, the Myriad Bone Forest.

From there, the suspect could be further narrowed to the handful who had entered the Myriad Bone Forest.

Although that still constituted 150 people, which was almost one-third of the people who were taking the assessment this time, Jing Ming still had another criterion in his mind.

That was that the suspect definitely had a very strong camouflage skill.

It was even very likely that the suspect was currently disguising his cultivation.

Moreover, the disguise might be able to fool the array in the Heavenly Gate.

Therefore, Jing Ming made up his mind. If he found a guy who was good at disguising himself, had a cultivation base somewhere near the Core Formation Stage, and had previously entered the Forbidden Area, the Myriad Bone Forest, then there was a high possibility that the guy would be the one he was looking for.

Upon careful observation, Jing Ming actually found such a guy.

In the second group of people, there was an inconspicuous figure.

Every step the fellow took seemed to have exhausted all his strength; every step he took appeared very difficult.

However, Jing Ming clearly realized that it was a facade and the guy was actually doing it with ease.

That was because Jing Ming saw that the fellow did not rest much along the way. In fact, his overall rhythm was not disturbed. Every step he took was very stable.

That was obviously not in line with the true state of a cultivator who was staggering forward.

If the guy had really used all his strength, he would have slowed down.

Thinking of that, Jing Ming’s lips curled up slightly.

He felt that he had found the little thief hidden in the crowd.

At that moment, Lu Yuan suddenly felt an even stronger prying gaze than before.

It was as if there was something that was very interested in him.

However, Lu Yuan, who was in disguise, realized that the gaze did not seem to be on him but on the person beside him.

Beside him, there was another cultivator who had just caught up from behind and arrived at the same step as him.

Although the person’s appearance was unfamiliar, Lu Yuan felt a familiar feeling from him.

After looking at the other party’s interface, Lu Yuan secretly laughed in his heart. “I didn’t expect it to be you, Zhuang Yangbing, Fellow Daoist Zhuang.

At the same time, Jing Ming’s gaze was fixed on Zhuang Yangbing, who had walked to Lu Yuan’s side.

Indeed, the fellow who was good at disguising himself and had a cultivation base of the Core Formation Stage in Jing Ming’s mind was none other than Zhuang Yangbing..
