A well-motivated extension of higher order holonomy corrections in loopquantum cosmology (LQC) for the $k=0$ Friedmann-Robertson-Walker model isinvestigated at the level of heuristic effective dynamics. It reveals that thequantum bounce is generic, regardless of the order of corrections, and thematter density remains finite, bounded from above by an upper bound in theregime of the Planckian density, even if all orders of corrections areincluded. This observation provides further evidence that the quantum bounce isessentially a consequence of the loopy nature (i.e. intrinsic discreteness) ofLQC and LQC is fundamentally different from the Wheeler-DeWitt theory; it alsoencourages one to construct the quantum theory of LQC with the higher orderholonomy corrections, which might be understood as related to the higher $j$representations in the Hamiltonian operator of loop quantum gravity.
