Three days later, on the southern coast.
Ceng Ping's territory was close to the Four Southern Seas, including the Midnight Kingdom and the Tiancheng Kingdom. Naturally, the South Sea City was among them.
The headquarters of this stronghold was in the South Sea City. Although the South Sea City was a coastal city, it wasn't a bustling city. After all, both the Midnight Kingdom and the Tiancheng Kingdom were small countries. The truly bustling coastal cities were in the territories of medium-sized countries. No matter how bustling the South Sea City was, it couldn't compare.
The Deep Sea Heavenly Masters returned to the Eight Ancient Continents through the teleportation array. They didn't need to go ashore at all. Thus, the South Sea City was very safe with the sea behind it. Ceng Ping was in charge of the South Sea City stronghold, which was the only coastal territory among the twenty strongholds.
Ceng Ping was very clear that the Midnight Kingdom was the homeland of the two leaders. Thus, she was very friendly to the Midnight Kingdom and didn't harm it. Lu An had saved the Midnight Kingdom from Shao Xu's control. Now that the world was in chaos, the Ice Fire Union was very happy to have the Midnight Kingdom under their control.
It had been half a month since the world was in chaos. The news of the world's chaos had spread from the royal families to the cities and finally to the ears of the common people. When the common people knew that the world was in such chaos and that even the Four Great Empires had perished, they immediately felt insecure. They were afraid that the flames of war would sweep over them.
When the people of the Meteor Trail City found out that the two leaders of the Ice Fire Union were actually the students and teachers of the Meteor Trail Academy, they couldn't hide their excitement and pride. Even the common people who had nothing to do with the academy held their heads high when they met outsiders. They excitedly said that two powerful Heavenly Masters had appeared in their city! Especially Li Hongtang and Han Ying, who had taught Lu An in the past. The two of them had become the most popular people in the Meteor Trail City. Even the City Lord had to be very courteous when he saw them, which made them very uncomfortable.
In the past half a month, Ceng Ping had brought the surrounding countries on the right track. Basically, it didn't affect the lives of the common people. At this moment, she was reading information in the study. In fact, she had never done this kind of work before. She had always been fighting and killing, so she was completely confused. Fortunately, the headquarters sent people to help her. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to handle it.
At this moment, a subordinate suddenly rushed to the door and hurriedly said to Ceng Ping, "Elder, there's an urgent matter to report!"
Ceng Ping paused and said, "Speak."
This subordinate entered the house and quickly said, "There are other forces invading the mountainous country in the northwest of the Midnight Kingdom!"
Ceng Ping's body trembled when she heard this. She immediately put down the document in her hand and asked, "Did you find out which faction it is?"
"Not yet!" This person quickly said, "However, the other party has already taken control of the Bianshan Country, and it is obvious that they intend to spread their influence to the surrounding areas!"
Ceng Ping frowned and said, "Continue the investigation!"
"Yes!"
The subordinate quickly left, but Ceng Ping's brows did not loosen. Although the Bianshan Country did not share a border with the Ziye Kingdom, it was only two countries away from the Ziye Kingdom. It was very close to her sphere of influence. Whether it was for the Sect or the Deep Sea Alliance, occupying two small countries was a piece of cake. It didn't take any effort at all. This was definitely a crisis for her!
"You guys work here!" Ceng Ping immediately got up and said to the others in the study, "I'm going back to the headquarters!"

Ice Fire Island in the Four Southern Seas.
When Ceng Ping told the news to Liu Yi, Liu Yi frowned slightly. However, she did not rush to give an order. Instead, she was thinking seriously.
At this time, Princess Yan Yi looked at Liu Yi and said very seriously, "Leader, we can't act rashly."
Liu Yi looked at Princess Yan Yi and nodded slightly. This was also the reason why she recognized Princess Yan Yi's ability. First of all, with the help of Xu Wei, she had already grasped the movements of many of the 31 Sects. There were indeed places close to 20 strongholds, but it was definitely not the South Sea stronghold that Ceng Ping was in charge of. Secondly, if it was really a Sect, they must have some ulterior motives for suddenly coming to the Bianshan Country. After all, there were no good resources in the surrounding countries.
If it was not a Sect but the Deep Sea Alliance, the Ice Fire Alliance would not be afraid. They could wait until they found out the identity of the other party before taking action.
"Wait." Liu Yi looked at Ceng Ping and said, "Let everyone be on alert and send more people to investigate the origin of the other party. As long as the other party does not attack, we don't have to take the initiative to take action until we confirm the origin of the other party."
Ceng Ping was bewildered. She asked suspiciously, "Don't we need reinforcements?"
"If we do, I will immediately send people from the headquarters," said Liu Yi. "Don't worry. They will be there as soon as possible."
"Yes!" With Liu Yi's words, Ceng Ping was relieved. She quickly left the Ice Fire Island.
After Ceng Ping left, Liu Yi and Princess Yan Yi did not let go of this matter. Instead, they kept thinking. No matter what, this matter was too strange. Liu Yi had to think further and think of all the possibilities.

Time passed little by little. Every breath was hard for the people of the Eight Ancient Continents. Because every breath, the flames of war engulfed the cities. Countless people died in the war. Even the people who killed people were a little numb.
Three days later, it was the thirty-third day since Lu An had entered the seabed.
When Princess Qi came to the whirlpool to see Lu An, her body suddenly shook. She finally found some changes.
The blue radiance around Lu An's body had almost disappeared. Instead, it was replaced by a kind of illusory power. This power seemed to distort space, constantly blurring the space around Lu An. From the outside, Lu An seemed to be in a flowing space. His entire figure gave off a very vague and unreal feeling.
Seeing this scene, Princess Qi took a deep breath. Such an obvious change definitely meant that Lu An had undergone a qualitative change during his cultivation. As for whether this qualitative change was the path to becoming an Eighth Level Heavenly Master, even she couldn't say for sure.
However, Princess Qi felt that this kind of intangible power was very strange. Even she couldn't see through the energy contained within it, which made her very curious. She thought that once this brat came out of seclusion, she would personally test out what kind of power it was.
After looking at Lu An for a while, Princess Qi left, leaving Lu An to continue cultivating in the formation core at the bottom of the sea. The surrounding whirlpool produced a very loud rumbling sound, but Lu An's sea of consciousness was extremely quiet. It was unknown whether it was because he had adapted to the sound of the sea or because he had cut off the sound of the outside world. This was the first time this illusory power had appeared around Lu An's body. It was none other than 'Spirit'.
This' Spirit 'was different from before. In order to have a better use of this power after breaking through, he had forcibly fused the spatial energy and the newly acquired death energy into' Spirit '. This kind of thing sounded simple, but it was almost suffocating to do. Lu An had to go through a full twenty days of non-stop experiments before he could successfully convert 'Spirit' into these two types of power.
Currently, 'Spirit' possessed five different types of power: ice, fire, life, death, and space. Even Lu An himself didn't expect such an illusory transformation to occur after possessing these five attributes.
However, this illusory power was different from the divine illusory aura that Yao possessed. If one had to compare them, the illusory power that Lu An was currently producing was inferior to Yao's power at a glance. Moreover, the difference wasn't just a little bit, but an enormous one. Yao's divine power truly made people feel like prostrating themselves in worship at a glance. It emitted an extremely pure divine aura. On the other hand, the illusory power that Lu An possessed now — apart from looking illusory, it probably wasn't as useful as the original Fate Wheel.
However, it was a huge breakthrough. The process of going from nothing to something was the process of pushing open the door to true power!
Although Lu An's eyes were tightly shut, he could clearly feel the changes in the power within his body and the impact on the eighth level of Heavenly Master. When this illusory power appeared, he was even more determined on the path he had chosen and was even more confident in advancing his realm!
The current him had truly touched upon the barrier to the eighth level of Heavenly Master and had even found the key to opening it!
He knew that the world was very likely in chaos right now. The women in his family were definitely leading the Ice Fire Union into battle. Once a battle broke out, no one could guarantee their safety, so he was very anxious in his heart.
Nothing must happen to his two wives and the others in the family. Wait for him to come out of seclusion!
And … Fu Yu.
He would be there soon!
