One month later.
Late at night, at the southern edge of an incomparably huge glacier.
Three figures rapidly stepped on the surface of the sea towards the glacier, and finally arrived at the top of the glacier. It was Lu An, Zhou Yan, and Zhou Ru.
As soon as they landed on the glacier, the cold air immediately became oppressive, and the pressure increased sharply. The strong pressure caused Lu An's strength to be equivalent to an early Level 5 Heavenly Master, and the two girls almost fell from the Level 5 Heavenly Master realm. This kind of regression in strength caused the two girls to feel even more psychological pressure.
* Hu … *
A gust of cold wind blew past, causing the two girls to shiver. They could not help but stop and shiver all over.
"Cold …" Zhou Ru's teeth were chattering, and Zhou Yan was not any better.
Lu An turned to look at the two girls. He also felt that the temperature here was very low, and with the two girls' current strength, they would not be able to withstand it. He quickly used metal to build a tent on the ice, and placed a small container of Deep Ice in the middle of the tent, and placed the Nine Heavens Sacred Flame in the container.
The Nine Heavens Sacred Flame burned fiercely in the Deep Ice. The Deep Ice was very thin, and the Nine Heavens Sacred Flame was very big, so the heat it emitted was even more intense. It immediately turned the small tent into a furnace, and also saved the two girls from the cold.
During this month's journey on the ocean, most of the time was spent like this. In fact, Lu An felt that this time, the ocean had already given them a lot of face. They only met three strange beasts, and their strength was not high. It could be said that the journey was smooth sailing. But even so, their journey time was longer than before.
Lu An looked at the two girls. Although he had never shown any dissatisfaction, the two girls' speed was indeed a little too slow.
On the ocean, he let the two girls stay in the cabin, and he and the two girls could use the Heavenly Origin Energy to propel the hull forward. But on the glacier, they could only rely on their own two feet, and such a good thing would not happen again. The cold air ahead was even more brutal, and it was not something that the two girls could withstand.
Thinking about it, even Lu An had stayed in the Far North Sea for more than three months since they had entered it. For the past three months, they had been on the road, and Lu An had very little time to cultivate. However, it had been nearly four and a half months since he became a late-stage Class 6. Even if he hadn't entered the realm of the Demon Gods, he could feel his strength increasing bit by bit.
That's right, even though the pressure here would cause Lu An's strength to regress, he could feel that his strength was growing. It shouldn't take long for him to break through the limits of the Demon Gods' realm and cultivate for a while. It was very likely that he would reach the peak of Level Six.
Once one reached the peak of the sixth level, one would be a seventh level Heavenly Master.
Thinking that he would soon be able to touch the edge of the next realm, it was impossible for Lu An to say that there were no ripples in his heart. However, he wasn't sure if he would be able to successfully break through. Thinking of the pain of breaking through to Level 6 Celestial Master, Lu An had already prepared himself to go through a calamity.
Lu An sighed softly and didn't allow himself to think too much. His next priority was to find the Spreading Star Tribe. He looked up at the two women and realized that they were looking at him too.
"What's wrong?" Lu An asked, startled.
Zhou Yan and Zhou Ru glanced at each other. Zhou Yan looked at him very reproachfully and said, "Are we … holding you back?"
Lu An froze and frowned slightly. He wanted to deny it, but in the end, he didn't say anything.
Although he really wanted to be a kind person, he realized that he wasn't.
Seeing that Lu An was silent, Zhou Yan and Zhou Ru felt even more lonely. However, both of them knew that Lu An had taken good care of them over the past two months.
As long as they felt uncomfortable, Lu An would immediately stop to rest and let them recuperate before continuing. Lu An had also given them a lot of elixirs. There were so many elixirs that they simply couldn't afford it with their wealth.
Furthermore, their interactions over the past two months were different from the previous eight people. It was just Lu An and the two women. Zhou Yan always knew what the two sisters meant to a man. At first, she was worried that Lu An might be obsessed with them, but she realized that she was overthinking.
This young man perfectly explained what it meant to keep a distance from a man and a woman from touching each other. In the past two months, Lu An didn't have any physical contact with them other than when he helped them in battle. He didn't speak much either. He didn't say anything more than necessary.
Until now, as long as they were by this young man's side, they believed that they were absolutely safe.
They couldn't continue to be a burden to him like this. Zhou Yan looked up at Lu An and said, "Young Master Lin, you can continue on your own. We'll wait for you here."
Lu An's body shook. This was indeed the best result for him. He turned to look at Zhou Ru.
In the past few months, Zhou Ru liked Lu An more and more. However, she felt that Lu An's aura was a thousand miles away, so she didn't express it. She just looked at Lu An and nodded.
"Okay." Lu An took a light breath and nodded. "I'll help you find a safe place to stay. I'll also leave a flame for you to keep warm."
With that, Lu An walked out of the tent and began to look for ice crevices on the endless glacier. On this glacier, there was very little snow. Most of the ice surface was exposed, so it was easy to find ice crevices. Soon, Lu An found a very small ice crevice. The ice around it was very solid. There was no other passage, so it was very safe.
Lu An brought the two women into the ice crevice. He left behind a large mass of Ninth Heaven Sacred Flame and a lot of food. Along the way, he killed strange beasts to replenish his food supply. The food the two women had was enough to live for more than three months.
After preparing everything for the two women, Lu An felt relieved and prepared to continue on his journey. Just as Lu An was about to go out of the ice crevice, Zhou Yan suddenly said, "Young Master Lin, it's already late at night. Why don't you have a good night's rest and continue on your journey tomorrow?"
Lu An stopped and looked up at the sky through the ice crevice. The sky was filled with stars. It was indeed late at night. He was indeed a little tired. He had barely rested on the sea. He should also rest for a night.
After thinking about it, Lu An said, "Okay."
The two women smiled. After experiencing a month of sea storms, it was rare to be able to stay a night on land with Lu An. The two girls slept on one side while Lu An slept on the other side, a full ten feet away. He was not afraid of the cold, so he slept directly on the ice. He didn't use anything as a pillow.
Because it was their last night together, the two women cherished it very much. So they sat on one side and didn't sleep. Lu An also didn't fall asleep immediately. The two women looked at Lu An. Zhou Yan thought for a moment and asked, "Young Master Lin, what is your real name?"
Lu An, who was lying down, was startled. He opened his eyes and turned to look at the two women.
"What do you mean?" Lu An asked.
Zhou Yan smiled and said, "We are not stupid. Which Level 6 Heavenly Master would be called Lin Xiaoliu? Heavenly Masters who give themselves titles can be found everywhere. Even if their real name was Lin Xiaoliu, they would change it later. "
Lu An's brows slightly tightened when he heard this, but then relaxed. After such a long time of contact, the two people's conversation content was almost enough to explain their background. Lu An also confirmed that these two people did not have any relationship with the Hachiko clan. However, Lu An didn't want to tell them his real name.
"It will be dangerous if you know my name," said Lu An. It was the first time he had said this.
The two women smiled and said, "How can it be dangerous to know someone's name? Moreover, even if it's dangerous, we can go back to our country after leaving the Far North Sea. The Eight Ancient Continents are so big. How can they find us?"
Lu An's brows tightened. He looked at the two women and said, "I've been living on the sea. Because of my enemy, I can't go back to the Eight Ancient Continents."
The two women were bewildered. What kind of enemy was that he couldn't even stay in the Eight Ancient Continents?
"Is it the Four Great Empires?" Zhou Yan hurried to ask, "Did you offend the experts of the Four Great Empires?"
"No," Lu An shook his head and said, "Don't ask. I won't tell you."
Then, Lu An turned around and faced the ice with his back facing the two women. Looking at Lu An's appearance, the two women exchanged looks. Until now, they knew that Lu An's life wasn't as beautiful as they had imagined. They had always thought that Lu An came from a big sect and came here to train. They didn't know that he couldn't even go back to the Eight Ancient Continents.
Lu An didn't talk to them. They didn't know what to talk about, and they didn't want to disturb Lu An's sleep. Moreover, they were exhausted after one month of living in the sea. They lay down and closed their eyes to have a good sleep.
Thus, the three of them fell asleep. No matter how the stars moved in the night sky, they didn't notice anything.
Until the next morning, when the white light shone through the ice slit and illuminated the entire space, the three of them opened their eyes and sat up.
Lu An rubbed his head sleepily. He didn't expect that he would sleep so deeply. It seemed that he was really tired. On the other side, as Zhou Yan and Zhou Ru knew that Lu An wanted to leave, they wanted to get out of the ice slit to see if they could prepare something for Lu An.
Zhou Yan took the lead, jumping out of the ice slit. However, as soon as she jumped out, a shrill scream arose.
"Ah!"
Lu An was still sitting on the ice. He was shaken hard. He got up immediately, dashing toward the ice slit.
