A gust of cold wind blew through the huge open space.
The cold air caused all the dust to fall very quickly. The scene soon quieted down. Other than the sound of the wind, no other sound could be heard.
At the entrance of the palace, Gongye Qingshan still had a shocked expression on his face. In the distance, Elder Chu had a solemn expression. Lu An was struggling on the ground further away. He was trying his best to get up bit by bit.
Plop.
Lu An fell to the ground again. His entire body was numb from the lightning and he could not muster any strength at all.
Chu Wei was shocked when he saw Lu An struggling on the ground in the distance. He turned to look at Gongye Qingshan who was standing in front of the palace.
Gongye Qingshan was stunned but he quickly reacted. He quickly ran towards Lu An.
"How are you? Are your injuries serious? "Gongye Qingshan helped Lu An up from the ground. He looked at Lu An who was in a sorry state and asked worriedly.
Lu An was indeed in a sorry state. His face was covered in dust and blood. His clothes were tattered and he looked like a beggar. He did not look like he did a moment ago.
Lu An tried his best to breathe. After he took a deep breath, he coughed a few times. After he coughed out the blood clots, he felt that his chest was much more comfortable. He shook his head at Gongye Qingshan and said, "I'm fine."
"…" Gongye Qingshan frowned as he looked at Lu An. He did not look fine no matter how he looked at him.
Lu An touched his interspatial ring with his right hand and immediately took out a medicinal pill. It was the Dual Four Flavour Pill that Lu An had personally refined. It was most effective for seriously injured people.
He did not hesitate to put it into his mouth. After he swallowed it, Lu An felt that his entire body had become warm. His breathing had also become smoother. He then exhaled deeply.
Following that, Lu An struggled to get up with Gongye Qingshan's help. Under the effects of the medicinal pill, the numbness in his entire body quickly subsided. Lu An took a step forward and walked towards Chu Wei.
Halfway there, Gongye Qingshan let go of Lu An. When he saw Lu An limping towards him, Chu Wei's brows furrowed even more.
"Elder Chu." Lu An stood in front of Chu Wei, his expression not angry at all, as if he had not been injured at all. He said softly, "You just said that I can pass, right?"
"…" Chu Wei's frown deepened. Looking at the young man in front of him, he couldn't say a single word.
Lu An didn't say anything either. He just waited quietly for the answer.
The most awkward person present was Gongye Qingshan. He stood beside the two of them, not knowing if he should leave or not. He felt that he was completely unnecessary as he stood there.
Finally, Chu Wei took a deep breath and nodded. He said in a deep voice, "I won't go back on my word. You are officially a disciple of the Great Accomplishment Heavenly Mountain!"
Lu An laughed when he heard this. He raised his arms and bowed respectfully. "Thank you, Elder Chu."
"Men!" Chu Wei suddenly shouted. Soon, a disciple ran over from afar and stood in front of Chu Wei.
The disciple looked around at the sorry state that he was in. The battles that he had fought every day were not as intense as today, but he still immediately called out, "Master."
"Take the two of them to Six Peaks Palace," Chu Wei said loudly.
"Yes!" the disciple answered. He turned around and said to the two of them, "The two of you, follow me."
Gongye Qingshan and Lu An nodded and followed the disciple to the towering palace in front of them. However, they had just taken two steps when a voice came from behind them.
"Hey, kid!"
The three of them stopped in unison and turned to look at Elder Chu. Lu An did the same. When he realized that Chu Wei was looking at him, he bowed and said, "Elder."
"I remember you saying that you have the dual attributes of ice and fire. However, why did you only use ice in the entire city and not fire?" Chu Wei frowned and asked loudly.
The moment that was said, Gongye Qingshan was stunned. That's right. This kid clearly said that he had the dual attributes of ice and fire. Why didn't I see any fire?
Lu An was stunned for a moment before a smile appeared on his face.
"It's because my ice is stronger."
Chu Wei frowned. He did not know why, but he did not want to believe the kid's words. However, since things had come to this point, he did not wish to ask any further. He turned to look at Gongye Qingshan.
Gongye Qingshan was stunned. He did not know why Elder Chu was looking at him.
"If any of you dares to tell anyone about what happened just now, I guarantee that I will teach you a lesson!" Chu Wei frowned and said coldly, "Did you hear that?"
Gongye Qingshan's body tensed up. He quickly said, "Yes!"
"Alright." Chu Wei nodded and waved his hand in annoyance. "You may leave!"
The three of them bowed and left. Soon, only Chu Wei was left in the huge open space. He did not enter the palace for a long time. Instead, he stood in place and thought about the battle just now.
He was not angry because Lu An had defeated him. Instead, he was angry that he had been defeated by a youth.
Especially at the end, he had used his true strength. This made him feel so ashamed that he wanted to punch himself.
Chu Wei took a deep breath and frowned deeply. He might not have been so surprised if the person who had exchanged blows with him was a thirty-year-old. However, that kid was only twelve years old. How could he have such terrifying close combat skills?
No matter what, this kid was not simple!
Shaking his head, Chu Wei sighed deeply and walked into his palace.

Between the tall palace, the three people seemed small as they moved forward on the wide road.
Along the way, that disciple walked in front while Gongye Qingshan and Lu An walked behind him. After eating the elixir, Lu An gradually felt that his body was recovering. After walking for a while, his breathing became much more comfortable.
Lu An kept his head down. He was thinking about the battle just now carefully. In fact, he rarely fought with people with the lightning attribute. Therefore, the battle just now had made him realize it deeply. Not only was lightning powerful, but it could also make people's bodies numb. In this aspect, he was completely unprepared.
If he could have covered his entire body with Deep Ice at the beginning, he should have been able to resist most of the numbing power. In this way, he might not have lost so quickly.
Not only in this aspect, there were many things that he had not handled well in the battle. If he had handled it well, he would have been able to hold on for a longer time or let Chu Wei use his true strength earlier.
Lu An kept his head down and pondered. Gongye Qingshan, who was walking side by side, kept looking at Lu An. After a few times, he finally could not help but say, "Kid, why didn't you say that you were so strong before?"
Lu An was stunned. He turned to look at Gongye Qingshan. He did not know how to answer this question. He scratched his head and asked, "This … Should I say it?"
"Nonsense. If you are strong, you should let others know. Otherwise, what's the point of cultivating?" Gongye Qingshan said loudly. "No wonder you could go up the mountain alone. I still underestimated you!"
Lu An smiled awkwardly. He shook his head and said, "Brother Gongye, you flatter me. If I had fought with Brother Gongye just now, I would have lost faster than Wu Bie Zhu. I don't have any confidence that I can take on the Octagon Sword Array. "
When he heard Lu An mention the Octagon Sword Array, Gongye Qingshan raised his head and said loudly, "Do you still need to say it? The Octagon Sword Array shines in every generation on the Dacheng Sky Mountain. I will be no exception! "
Lu An smiled. He lowered his head and continued to think about his own matters.
The three of them continued to walk for a while. Gongye Qingshan's expression slowly turned from relaxed to solemn. After a long time, he asked, "Kid, which mountain will you choose later?"
Mountain?
Lu An was stunned. He turned to look at Gongye Qingshan and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Mountain!" Gongye Qingshan was speechless. He said loudly, "Are you from the countryside? You don't even know the six mountain peaks!?"
"I don't know." Lu An said awkwardly, "Brother Gongye, please enlighten me."
"…" Gongye Qingshan looked helpless. He sighed and said, "Sigh, I'll tell you about it."
"There are countless mountains in the Dacheng Sky Mountain. However, there are only six main peaks." Gongye Qingshan said seriously, "All the mountain peaks are under the management of these six main peaks. The new disciples are also assigned to these six main peaks."
"The six main peaks are divided into five outer peaks and one inner peak. The five outer peaks specialize in wood, fire, earth, metal, and water, while the inner peak specialises in both. More importantly, the inner peak is where the core disciples reside."
"To put it simply, the owners of the five outer peaks are the five main peak masters of the Dacheng Sky Mountain. The inner peak master is the sect master. The outer peak disciples are taught by the elders while the inner peak disciples are taught by the various sect masters. This is the difference. "
Lu An was stunned when he heard that. Then, he came to a realization. In other words, it was best to enter the inner peak. After all, the treatment and expectations one would receive after becoming the sect master's disciple would be very different.
"How can one enter the inner peak?" Lu An asked, puzzled.
"Level two Heaven Master," Gongye Qingshan said seriously. "Or, one must have a Fate Wheel."
