Lu An went to the nameless island and started cultivating.
Cultivation was mainly about improving one's realm. He kept on opening the boundary of the Demon Gods Realm to improve his strength. When he was weakened by the Realm of the Demon Gods, Lu An focused on cultivating the One Way Celestial Technique and the Crouching Primordial Spirit Technique.
The Crouching Primordial Spirit Technique was very important to Lu An. It was also the most important book that he needed to learn from. Lu An felt that if he could learn all the contents of the Crouching Primordial Spirit Technique and try to use its power to find the existence of 'spirits', he might be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Even if learning the Crouching Primordial Spirit Technique was useless to cultivating the One Way Celestial Technique, he would still have many more combat techniques. According to the Crouching Primordial Spirit Technique, once he learned it, he would be able to teleport in battle.
Although the days of cultivation were boring, Lu An was already used to it. Every night, he would return to Half Moon Island to accompany Yao Yao. Although they did not spend as much time together as before, Yao Yao understood Lu An's hard work.
When Yao Yao first met Lu An, he was like this, so she could accept it. Waiting was the first thing that she learned.
Because of Qi's threat, Yao Yao's two brothers, Chen and Qing, also seized the time to cultivate. Chen had been cultivating in Sengoku, while Qing spent half of his time in Purple Lake City and the other half in Sengoku. Both of them were very hardworking. They were the sons of the Immortal Master and had the authentic bloodline. They did not want to lose to Qi.
Just like that, nine days passed.
It was New Year's Eve. It was another New Year.
No matter what, no matter how intense the cultivation was, the New Year had to be celebrated. The New Year marked the beginning of the Eight Ancient Era. It was also the beginning of the Hachiko clan becoming the ruler of the Eight Ancient Continents. Although everyone had a grudge against the Hachiko clan, they did not mind it as they wanted to find a chance to gather.
Naturally, Sengoku would not celebrate such a festival, so everyone came to Half Moon Island. Just like in previous years, all the members of the Lu Clan gathered together to celebrate the New Year. The only difference was that not only was Kong Yan missing, but the seat beside Lu An had also changed from Yang Meiren to Yao Yao.
No one would say anything about such a change, and Beauty Yang didn't sit at the head of the table. Just like in previous years, Lu An prepared gifts for everyone. However, this year, the gifts were presented on behalf of Lu An And Yao.
Thinking back to what had happened in the past year, the changes were too great.
No matter if it was the relationship of the entire Lu Clan, or the improvement of the strength of each person, it was very fast. In the entire Lu Clan, the strongest was still the Level Eight Heavenly Master, Yang Beauty, followed by Yao and Liu Yi, and lastly Lu An, Yang Mu, and Liu Lan.
As for everyone's relationship, it was not only because Lu An had come to the ocean that they rarely spent time together, but also because Lu An And Yao had gotten married, so everyone kept a distance from each other. Even Liu Yi, who loved to joke, didn't disturb Lu An, let alone the others.
The best evidence was when Lu An came back from the Extreme North Sea. Lu An had been away for several months, but when he came back, he only met with Yao Yao. He didn't gather everyone together. The other women only heard about Lu An's return from Yao Yao. It was the first time they gathered together this year.
Everyone ate and drank as usual. Their relationship didn't change, but the distance between them had widened. When the ice wheel hung high in the sky and the New Year's fireworks bloomed on Half Moon Island, everyone's eyes reflected colorful lights.
Not long after, everyone left one after another, leaving only Lu An and Yao in the huge courtyard. Lu An And Yao didn't feel sleepy. He walked out of the courtyard to the beach at the back, sat down, and watched the endless ocean together.
"Husband." Yao Yao turned her head and looked at Lu An with her beautiful face. Her long hair draped over the sand, and she said softly, "When do you think we can stop and live like ordinary people?"
Lu An was stunned. He turned to look at Yao Yao. He saw the weariness in Yao Yao's eyes towards the current tiring life.
Lu An knew that Yao Yao wasn't someone who liked to cultivate. She cultivated in the beginning to help him, and it was the same even now. However … Lu An had never thought about this problem.
He didn't think about it, and he didn't dare to think about it. In his previous life without Yao Yao, all he did was cultivate. He didn't have any concept of time, and he was already used to life.
There were still many things he hadn't done, and many things he hadn't obtained.
"I don't know." Lu An said softly, "Maybe after I take revenge for my mother and save the people Master asked me to save, I'll stop and live like an ordinary person with you."
Yao Yao lowered her head slightly. The two things Lu An said were things she had no choice but to do. Otherwise, if others were to know about it, she would definitely be spurned.
However, to accomplish these two things, how far did she have to go?
Looking at Yao Yao's tired expression, Lu An gently pulled her into his embrace and said, "Our lifespans are very long. I believe that after I've finished these things, there will definitely be a lot of time for us to spend together."
Leaning on Lu An's shoulder, Yao Yao softly replied and didn't say anything else. She knew that compared to other women, she was already very lucky.
In the gathering earlier, all the women looked at Lu An with eyes filled with love, and their eyes filled with envy. She had obtained more than enough.
Although, she knew that she had yet to obtain Lu An's heart.

Hachiko clan, Fu Clan's territory.
It was another new year, and this year, the Hachiko clan's gathering was organized by the Fu Clan.
As the strongest clan, the Fu Clan was naturally very excited when the other seven clans came, and they were also more polite. As the host, the Fu Clan was also very generous. No matter if it was the scale of the banquet or the activities and programs, they were all very pleasing to the eyes. As usual, the Hachiko clan's clan leaders and young masters were all present, along with the core members of each clan.
The clan leaders sat at one table, while the young masters sat at another table. This was an arrangement that would never change. As the host, the young master of the Fu Clan, Fu Yu was naturally present as well.
In this year, Fu Yu had changed greatly, and this was something that everyone could see. Fu Yu, who used to be high and mighty like an ice wheel, was now able to converse with others. Although she was still cold, she was willing to make friends with others, and this was already a huge improvement.
After such a change, the young masters who had been silent for a long time all expressed their love for Fu Yu, and began to crazily pursue her. Fu Yu didn't stop them, and this made them even more desperate. However, after a year of intense competition, most of the people had already given up. Only two people were left standing at the end.
They were the Li Clan's young master, Li Wuhuo, and the Gao Clan's young master, Gao Zhanxing.
With such a situation, the Fu Clan's clan leader, Fu Yang, was also very satisfied. No matter if it was the Li Clan or the Gao Clan, they were only second to the Fu Clan in terms of strength. Especially the Li Clan, which was only slightly weaker than the Fu Clan. In addition, Li Wuhuo and Gao Zhanxing were both good-looking and talented, and had no wives or concubines. Li Wuhuo was a natural and humorous person, while Gao Zhanxing was a steady and honest person. If they could become in-laws with either of them, it would be a great thing.
The competition between Li Wuhuo and Gao Zhanxing was extremely intense, and in order to gain Fu Yu's trust, the two of them would run to the Fu Clan everyday, as though they were living in the Fu Clan. Every time the members of the Fu Clan saw the two young masters, they couldn't help but want to laugh. It was hard to imagine that the two of them were actually young masters.
Especially today, it was the new year of the Eight Ancient Eras, and the two of them had prepared gifts for Fu Yu. As the saying goes, a long night brings many dreams. In order to gain Fu Yu's trust, the two of them used all their methods, and both of them had the same thought, which was to make Fu Yu agree to their request in front of all the members of the Fu Clan!
"Little Yu, look, this is my gift to you. It's a high grade Sea Spirit Star, the quality is very good!" Li Wuhuo sat to the left of Fu Yu, and quickly opened the box and said.
"Little Yu, don't listen to him, watch me! This is the best Earth's Core Stone, it has many uses, it has … "Gao Zhanxing quickly said, but was interrupted by Li Wuhuo.
"What's so good about a broken Earth's Core Stone, Little Yu is of the water attribute, is it useful?" Li Wuhuo quickly refuted.
"Then the Sea Spirit Star is useful? Don't tell me the Fu Clan doesn't have a Sea Spirit Star, why do we need you to give it to us? "Gao Zhanxing didn't want to be outdone, and immediately retorted.
"So what, it's always a good thing to have one more, even if it's just a decoration, it's still better than your stuff!" Li Wuhuo immediately retorted.
The two of them had been quarreling non-stop at the young masters' table, to the extent that the other young masters couldn't converse with them. But they didn't dislike it, as they had been like this for the past year, and it was quite interesting to see the two of them quarreling.
Not only did the people at the young masters' table hear it clearly, the people at the other tables nearby also heard it clearly. The elders of the various clans all shook their heads and laughed, as for the clan leader's table, the various clan leaders couldn't help but laugh.
At this moment, the Li Clan's clan leader Li Beifeng couldn't help but say to Fu Yang, "I say, Brother Fu, my son has been wooing your daughter for so long, I'm tired of watching him, can't you help him?"
