In the second southern sea region, two figures were moving forward rapidly.
Prince Qi and Lu An had started from the center of the second southern sea region and headed north. Four days had passed since they started.
Prince Qi's four-day journey was equivalent to Lu An's three-month journey. Through this journey, Lu An realized that his understanding of the size of a sea region was severely skewed. He had originally thought that he could reach the edge of the second southern sea region from Immortal Island in a month, but now that he thought about it, it might not even take five months.
Prince Qi was so strong that he wasn't affected by the sea. After all, the water pressure at a depth of forty thousand feet was almost non-existent to him. During these four days, the two encountered many Dragons, but Dragons below Rank 9 were not qualified to discover Prince Qi's existence. Prince Qi relied on his powerful perception to perfectly avoid all Rank 9 Megalosaurus. The Sky Tiger Race also knew a little about the second southern sea region, especially the situation of the 16 lower races.
There were only a little over a hundred Rank 9 Megalosaurus, and the proportion of them that left the second southern sea region exceeded that of ordinary Megalosaurus, reaching three-quarters. Scattered across such a large sea region, it was difficult to even encounter them.
During their journey, they would occasionally stop to let Lu An enter the sea to observe the changes in the water droplets. On the first and second days, the water droplets had obvious changes. The water droplets had become longer and clearer, which meant that they weren't going in the wrong direction. After four days of traveling, the two had finally reached the middle of the outer circle of the second southern sea region.
Here, the possibility of encountering a Rank 9 Megalosaurus was increasing.
After four days of traveling, even Prince Qi would be tired, so the two chose to rest on an island.
Although it was called an island, it was actually pitifully small. It was just a piece of land above the sea with some plants growing on it. There wasn't even a hill. However, because it wasn't an island and had no resources, it was safer.
Prince Qi sat on the ground and rested against a tree. Lu An didn't need to rest because he hadn't used much energy. After thinking for a while, he said to Prince Qi, "I want to go home."
Prince Qi raised his head to look at Lu An. He knew that Prince Qi didn't want the seven women to worry too much. Although she couldn't understand the feeling of living in a group, she still appreciated people who had a sense of responsibility. Moreover, Lu An probably had to explain to his family about this operation. The rest of the journey would become even more dangerous. Something could happen at any time.
King Qi nodded, and Lu An immediately activated the teleportation array and left.

Ice and Fire Union, Eight Ancient Continents.
The teleportation formation opened. When Lu An emerged from it, a figure appeared in his room.
In less than two breaths of time, the seven women all came to the private room. Twenty-one days had passed since Lu An left.
The seven women's first reaction was to see if Lu An was injured, but even Yao did not feel the slightest bit of instability in his aura, which allowed the seven women to relax. Yao's gentle voice was filled with anxiety as she said, "Where did my husband go?"
Lu An looked at the seven women and forced a smile. He knew that if he didn't explain clearly, the seven women would be even more worried. Therefore, he told them the secret of leaving home, going to Gujiang, arriving at the shore, and finding the droplet object after the battle. Then, when he told them that he was with Prince Qi, the specific sea area, and his decision, the seven women were immediately dumbfounded.
The first part of the story made them sigh in relief, but when they heard the last part, the blood in their bodies seemed to freeze, and their expressions instantly became very bad.
Lu An … wanted to find the secret of the droplet object in the sea area of the Dragons?
Was this … different from sending himself to death?
Seeing that the seven women were completely silent, Lu An's heart was filled with guilt, but he could only say, "Don't worry. With Prince Qi taking care of me, there won't be any problems. I'll come back as soon as possible."
"…"
The seven women gradually came back to their senses, but their faces became even paler. They knew that they couldn't stop Lu An, and they also knew that Lu An wouldn't give up on the search. It was useless to say anything, so they didn't say anything.
They couldn't even force themselves to say words of encouragement to Lu An.
"Don't be so depressed." Lu An didn't know what to say. He could only scratch his head and say, "Don't think of the worst. Maybe I'll be able to find the secret from the start, and successfully become a Level Nine Heavenly Master? The head of the Fu Clan won't harm me. Everyone, don't worry too much. "
However, even though Lu An said this, even if the seven women wanted to express good feelings, they really couldn't do it. They had already said what they needed to say many times. The seven women could only quietly look at Lu An and wait for the results to come.
They could participate in Lu An's life, but they couldn't interfere.
"I came back to tell you this. I'm fine now, and I'll be fine the next time I come back. Maybe it'll be even better." Lu An smiled and said, "There's no need for everyone to worry. Do what you need to do. The family still depends on you."
After saying this, Lu An could only leave as if he were running away.

On a small island in the Southern Second Sea.
The teleportation array appeared, and Lu An returned. Sitting under a tree, Princess Qi didn't expect Lu An to return so quickly. She hadn't even rested properly. She asked, "How did you return so quickly?"
Lu An glanced at Princess Qi and smiled bitterly. He shook his head and didn't answer. Then, he sat down on the grass. He didn't rest, but immediately entered a meditative state to cultivate.
Looking at Lu An, this kid really didn't let go of any time to cultivate. It was the same when they were hurrying. This kid had his eyes closed the entire time, obviously meditating. In the past four days, he had only spoken a few words, making her feel like a hard worker.
However, she took a deep breath, and her expression became serious. She said, "How far do we have to go?"
Lu An was startled and looked up at Princess Qi. He knew that she wanted to say something, so he asked, "What do you mean?"
"At most, I can escort you to the boundary between the Inner and Outer Circles," Princess Qi said in a deep voice. "The Inner Circle is too dangerous. Even if I'm discovered, it will be difficult to escape."
During the four-day journey, although the water flow inside the water droplet object in Lu An's hand had changed, it wasn't as obvious as he had imagined. Based on this change, it was impossible to find the secret in the Outer Circle. He had to enter the Inner Circle. However, once Princess Qi entered the Inner Circle, even if she was discovered and successfully escaped, it would be a heavy blow to the Sky Tiger Tribe. Appearing in the Inner Circle was fundamentally different from appearing in the Outer Circle. The Dragons would very likely declare war on the Sky Tiger Tribe, especially if the Upper Eight Clans and the Lower Sixteen Clans joined forces to declare war on the Sky Tiger Tribe. The Sky Tiger Tribe would definitely not be a match for them.
Lu An could understand Princess Qi's difficulties. She had already done enough to escort him to the edge of the Inner Circle. Lu An nodded and said, "Okay. Thank you, Princess Qi."
Princess Qi nodded. In fact, she was very worried about Lu An. However, she was the leader of the Sky Tiger Tribe after all. She couldn't implicate the entire Sky Tiger Tribe for Lu An.
The Sky Tiger Tribe's combat ability was very strong and their endurance was also very strong. However, they also needed to rest for a long time. The deeper they went, the more dangerous it became. Princess Qi finally slept on this island for a night and woke up the next morning to continue her journey with Lu An.
Once again, they entered the deep sea and headed north at extreme speed. Just like the previous four days, only a Level 9 Megalosaurus could discover Princess Qi's tracks. The journey was very smooth for the two as they rushed towards the Inner Circle at full speed.
However, the closer they got to the Inner Circle, the more cautious Princess Qi became and the more she rested. She had to ensure that her strength was above 70% at all times. Only then would she have the strength and confidence to face a life-and-death battle.
In this way, after another five days, the two were very close to the edge of the Inner Circle. At most, they would arrive in two more days. At this time, Princess Qi stopped to rest again. Lu An sat beside her. After meditating for a while, he opened his eyes and thought for a moment before asking the question in his heart.
"Princess Qi," Lu An looked at Princess Qi and asked, "Between you and the leader of the Dragons … who is stronger?"
Princess Qi, who was resting, opened her eyes and looked at Lu An. If someone else had asked this question, she might have been unhappy, but Lu An was not one of them. He said, "I have never fought with the leader of the Dragons before. In fact, I haven't even fought with the Dragons. After all, the Dragons were in the Second Southern Sea. Not to mention me, even the other races wouldn't enter the Second Southern Sea."
"But I think that the patriarchs of the Dragon Clan of the 16 lower clans won't be a match for me. As for the patriarchs of the 8 upper clans …." As he spoke, Prince Qi paused, and after serious consideration, he continued, "I think I can win as well!"
