After reaching an agreement, the meeting continued for a long time. After all, what Liu Yi said was only the most basic framework. As for how to implement it, they still needed to discuss it repeatedly. In the end, everyone decided on a basic plan and implemented it accordingly.
After Liu Yi returned to Ice and Fire City, she told her family about this news. After hearing this, the other women also heaved a sigh of relief. In fact, the reason why the Ice and Fire Union didn't go to the ocean wasn't only because Liu Yi had mentioned, but also because Lu An wanted to cultivate in the Eight Ancient Continents by fighting the strange sea beasts.
Right now, what Lu An lacked the most was combat. If he went to the ocean, no one would be at ease to let Lu An fight the strange sea beasts alone. However, it was completely different on land. If he fought the strange sea beasts in his own territory, he could first avoid the restrictions of the ocean on Lu An. In addition, he had the upper hand and could choose his opponent according to the information he had, so he wouldn't fall into a fatal danger.
However … Lu An's seclusion this time was indeed very long. From the beginning until today, it had been a total of nineteen days. No one knew how his seclusion was going.
During this period, Queen Qi came to Ice and Fire City twice. Her purpose was simple. She wanted to tell the Lu Clan that they didn't need to worry and that Lu An was safe. As long as Lu An was fine, they were willing to wait. They hoped that Lu An wouldn't encounter too much trouble and break through in one go.

Extreme South Sea, Heavenly Tiger Island.
Inside the mountain in the center of Heavenly Tiger Island, there were only two figures in the huge space. They were Queen Qi and Lu An.
Lu An sat cross-legged in the center. This position would cause a lot of trouble for Queen Qi, but in fact, Lu An didn't want to cultivate in the center. He could just find a corner. The reason why he did this was because Queen Qi insisted that the seclusion should be done in a transparent position. Otherwise, if the energy overflowed and hit the wall, it would backfire on Lu An and greatly affect his cultivation.
As for Queen Qi, she didn't exist in her true form. She had transformed into her human form. During the nineteen days, she basically stayed in the mountain and watched Lu An cultivate with her own eyes.
Of course, she slept most of the time.
Currently, Prince Qi was sleeping. At the center of the mountain, Lu An was still sitting cross-legged, his body as relaxed as possible. His brows were furrowed as he focused on breaking through. In fact, the time it took him to cultivate from early level eight to mid level eight was not long. It took him almost eight months to reach mid level eight, and only seven months and two days to reach mid level eight. If he could break through this time, not only would it not take him longer to cultivate, but it would also shorten the time it would take him to reach mid level eight.
There were two prerequisites for every breakthrough. The first was the improvement of one's physical strength. It had to be raised to a critical point. Lu An had already touched the barrier. The second was the improvement of the concept, which was also the key to most Celestial Masters. The breakthrough of the concept needed to find a unique breakthrough point, and this time, Lu An wanted to achieve a breakthrough in the comprehension of "spirit".
Lu An had never given up on the exploration of the 'spirit'. In addition, he had frequently used the 'spirit' in the Yin Yang Profound Realm. This made Lu An feel as if he had grasped a trace of the 'spirit'.
Lu An had never told anyone about this, not even his three wives. The reason was very simple. This was just a trace of his feeling. It was too illusory. Even he himself wondered if it was just a one-sided illusion.
However … just this trace of feeling, even if it was an illusion, was enough to make Lu An excited.
After returning from the Yin Yang Profound Realm, all of his cultivation revolved around the existence of the 'spirit'. Just like a long time ago, Lu An was constantly searching for a higher level in the Ninth Heaven Sacred Flame and the Deep Ice. This included Immortal Qi and the energy of death. However, it had to be said that whether it was Immortal Qi or the energy of death, Lu An's exploration was very shallow. It was far inferior to the Ninth Heaven Sacred Flame and the Deep Ice.
Between the ice and fire, Lu An felt a strange sensation.
As the saying goes, 'Yin alone does not grow, Yang alone does not grow.' Yin and Yang were mutually dependent, which meant that Yin and Yang could be transformed into each other. Although the Deep Ice and the Ninth Heaven Sacred Flame did not represent Yin and Yang, they could represent the limits of Yin and Yang to a certain extent. Just this point alone was enough.
Within the mountain, Lu An did not know how long he had been sitting there. He had never thought about how long he had been sitting there. Seclusion required wholeheartedly and could not be rushed. This way, he would be able to break through at the fastest speed.
Spirit …
What Lu An wanted to do was to grasp this trace of spirit. Even if it was extremely vague after he grasped it, he believed that it would help him break through.
Two hours later.
Princess Qi had slept for a full ten hours, but she still had no intention of getting up. She was able to absorb energy from heaven and earth. She could sleep for as long as she wanted. She lazily turned over on the stone bed, and from lying flat, her back faced Lu An.
Two breaths later …
Bang — —
A burst of energy instantly exploded, causing Princess Qi's body to shake violently. Her eyes widened, and she immediately got up from the stone bed to look at Lu An!
The entire mountain was silent, and there was no change. Lu An was still sitting cross-legged in the middle of the mountain. Princess Qi could clearly see the side of his face. Similarly, there was no change, nor was there any light from the release of energy.
But … the energy just now was definitely real!
That energy was at a level that Princess Qi had never experienced before. When it permeated through her body, it was enough to cause her heart to throb! Even if the energy was very light and could not cause any harm to her body, the level of this energy made her feel incomparably fearful. It even seemed to ignore her physical defenses and transmitted into her body!
How could this be?
Could it be that she was imagining things?!
Princess Qi looked at Lu An in shock. Just as her fright rapidly turned into suspicion, another burst of energy suddenly spread out from Lu An's body!
Bang — —
An illusory energy was suddenly released from Lu An's body, spreading rapidly in all directions! Lu An's body did not emit any light, but this energy was real. It shook the space and swept in all directions … arriving in front of Princess Qi.
Bang!
This time, Princess Qi was hit head-on by this energy. She had already sensed this energy, but did not set up any defenses or evade. Her goal was to clearly see what this energy was.
But … the result was exactly the same as the previous time!
This energy actually forcibly penetrated her body and moved deeper into her body. But the intensity of this energy was too low and extremely limited. It did not affect her at all.
But … even so, Princess Qi's eyes widened as she looked at Lu An in shock! Just the existence of this energy had completely exceeded her understanding!
Immediately after, after a full six breaths, the third energy fluctuation appeared, spreading out from Lu An's body throughout the mountain.
The fourth time … the fifth time …
The fluctuations appeared faster and faster, and in the end, they were almost the same as Lu An's aura. Wave after wave of energy swept through the mountain. Princess Qi stood on the edge of the stone bed, allowing herself to be enveloped by this energy.
This energy could not cause her any harm, but she deeply felt the suppression of this energy.
This was a suppression of a higher level, even stronger than Lu An's Ninth Heaven Sacred Flame and Deep Ice.
As the invisible energy continued to spread out, Princess Qi could clearly feel the aura emitted from Lu An's body continuously rising. From an ordinary state to an all-out state, the increase did not stop. Along with the fluctuations of his aura, it instantly surpassed its previous limit!
He had begun to break through!
Princess Qi's eyes trembled. Her shock at the power had turned into concern for Lu An's body. She stood in a corner of the enormous mountain, watching Lu An from afar. After nineteen days of seclusion, Lu An had finally begun to break through. But just because he had begun to break through didn't mean that he would succeed. It would depend on the results of the next few days.
With Lu An's current strength, he would need at least three days to stabilize his realm. Normally, it would take around seven days. However, Princess Qi did not care whether Lu An could break through or not. She was more concerned about Lu An's breakthrough using a power she had never seen before.
Breaking through with this kind of power would not only increase one's strength, but one's comprehension of this power would also increase.
After a while, Princess Qi sat back down on the stone bed, but she did not lie down. Instead, she faced Lu An and slowly closed her eyes, sitting up straight.
Yes, Princess Qi was sensing Lu An's power. This was a completely different kind of power from Deep Ice and Ninth Heaven Sacred Flame. Princess Qi also felt that she had benefited greatly from this kind of energy fluctuation. Even her own realm and strength had begun to loosen.
Her strength had long since reached a bottleneck. She could not waste even a sliver of opportunity.
