When Lu An entered the ocean torrent, he accelerated rapidly from the core area of the earthquake to the periphery. When he completely left the area affected by the earthquake and entered the complete torrent, his speed had reached the same level.
It was like an ordinary person would be killed by a running carriage, but if he entered the carriage and accelerated bit by bit into the running carriage, he would not feel any pressure when he was moving at a completely uniform speed. This was Lu An's current situation.
The size of this ocean torrent was beyond imagination. Its diameter was probably about forty thousand feet, and it rushed fiercely above the seabed. The power of this torrent completely exceeded the pressure of the seabed, which was enough to show how powerful it was. Lu An, who was in the middle of it, was completely stunned. He really did not expect to encounter such a situation.
The huge torrent created huge friction with the seawater, but he could still see a trace of the outside world. He could see that this was the seabed, and he could even see a little bit of the seabed's surface. He still felt great pressure in the ocean torrent, but it was better than when he was at seventy thousand feet. At least he could barely maintain it, and it was even possible to expand the range of the ice ball a little bit, or move in the torrent, but he did not dare to do so. He knew too little about this kind of ocean torrent. He was afraid that doing anything would change the current balance, causing the ice ball to be destroyed and him to be killed.
He did not dare to rush out of the ocean torrent, because the pressure of the seabed outside would kill him in an instant. He could only stay in the torrent with less pressure, although he did not know which direction he was moving in.
Yes, he did not lose his direction in the battle with the sea turtle, but when the water layer suddenly erupted from the seabed, the impact caused him to tumble in the ocean and completely lose his direction. He did not know which direction he was moving in. He only hoped that he would not deviate too far from the center of the second southern sea area, at least farther than the original distance. He did not expect to be able to send himself to a place closer to the center. Of course, he would be very happy if he could do so.
However, Lu An had obviously underestimated the length of this ocean torrent. Even if the speed of this ocean torrent was completely comparable to the speed of an ordinary ninth rank strange beast, or even faster, Lu An had stayed in the ocean torrent for a long time that he could not imagine. He even felt that there was no end to it.
He had no concept of time at all in the torrent. There was a huge roar around him all the time, which was completely testing his willpower. In order to maintain the stability of the ice ball, his strength was constantly consumed. According to common sense, he could only maintain it for about two hours at most, but for some reason, perhaps the power of the ocean seeped through the ice ball and entered his body, constantly replenishing his strength.
Relying on this little bit of strength, Lu An maintained himself on the brink of collapse, completely relying on his own willpower to hold on. And this went on for … half a month.
Yes, a full fifteen days.
From the beginning of the earthquake in the ocean.. Lu An had been holding on with all his might. He had no idea how long he had been holding on for. Being on the verge of collapse for a long period of time had consumed a large amount of his divine sense in his sea of consciousness. If it had been an ordinary level-eight Heavenly Master, they would have fainted long ago. Even Yao was the same. If it weren't for Lu An's powerful Divine Sense Origin, which allowed him to continuously inject Divine Sense into his sea of consciousness, he would have fainted long ago.
Of course, Lu An's temperament was strong enough. If it were other Heavenly Masters, they would have given up long ago.
Even so, Lu An's consciousness had become very blurry. He was even dizzy, as if he would collapse at any time. Just as Lu An was on the verge of collapse and falling, the torrent of the ocean finally changed direction. After passing through an underwater mountain range, its speed continued to weaken. Finally, it hit a huge mountain. The torrent surged upward. Lu An, who was inside the torrent, was also rising rapidly.
Ten thousand feet.
Fifty thousand feet.
At fifty thousand feet, the torrent of the ocean had basically disappeared. At this time, Lu An had already realized the change. Although he could not even open his eyes now and could barely open them, he still forcibly mobilized the strength in his body and used the last bit of strength to swim upward.
At a depth of fifty thousand feet, it was very difficult for Lu An to swim upward with his remaining strength. But fortunately, Lu An persevered. He did not have time to think about what would be above him. The mountain beside him was very large. It would definitely be high above the sea and form an island. No matter what was on the island, he had to leave the ocean.
Even if he had to bet, he could only bet that there was no danger above.
Boom!
Lu An's body soared out of the sea, raising a wave that was neither big nor small. After he got out of the sea, he couldn't control his body. Before he lost his consciousness, he dashed toward the beach in front of him. Then, he lost his last bit of consciousness.
Lu An, whose eyes were completely closed, soared from around twenty zhang in the air. His body directly hit the beach, creating a ten-zhang-long mark before he stopped.
Splash! Splash!
Splash! Splash! Splash! Splash! Splash! It was noon. There were no clouds in the sky for ten thousand miles. The sun hung high in the sky, dazzling the eyes.
The rays of the scorching sun shone on Lu An's body, and it had been more than a month since Lu An last saw sunlight. This feeling was very warm. His body was recovering little by little.
The warm wind blew gently from the sea. Lu An lay quietly on the beach. He was completely unconscious. He didn't know what was happening outside. No one could wake him up in a short time.
However, at this moment, a figure suddenly walked out of the sea. Step by step, he walked to the beach and stopped in front of Lu An.

Headquarters of the Union, Eight Ancient Continents.
Lu An had left for one month and three days. During this period, the headquarters of the Union still had the habit of holding meetings. However, it had changed from twice a day to once every two days. Since the Fire Sect and the Guang You Sect had a problem, the operations of the Union of Sects had been suspended. Even if they met, they didn't have any information to share. Most of the meetings were just the meeting of the Elders of the sects. It was very hasty.
During this period, they were concerned about Lu An's seclusion the most. It had been one month. A normal seclusion wouldn't take that long. Every time they met, they would ask about it. However, Xu Yunyan's answer was always the same.
As time went by, people didn't believe her answer. However, it was the Ice Fire Union's business. If she didn't want to talk about it, they couldn't do anything about it. Luckily, during this one month, nothing happened in the sects' hiding places. Everybody was safe.
However, the Strange Beasts didn't calm down. Instead, they became even more ferocious.
Perhaps it was because of the Dragon Clan, or perhaps it was because of the relationship between the Guang You Sect and the Karmic Fire Sect, but all of the 30 sects' resource territories were attacked by strange beasts, and all of them were first-rate strange beasts. If not for the intervention of the Guang You Sect and the Fire Sect, such a large-scale attack wouldn't have been possible. It was obvious that the Guang You Sect and the Fire Sect were standing on the opposite side of the sects. They were in cahoots with the Strange Beasts.
The resource territories were occupied. This meant that the resources were cut off. Although Heavenly Masters above level 6 could absorb the energy of heaven and earth to replenish themselves, Heavenly Masters below level 6 couldn't do it. More importantly, losing all the treasures meant that all kinds of elixirs couldn't be produced. Regardless of whether it was medical elixirs, explosive elixirs, or elixirs that could increase one's cultivation level, it was the same. Everything could only be done with the elixirs in the warehouse. However, without any replenishment, there would be less and less of them.
Although they didn't take much action now, it couldn't go on like this. Once an all-out war broke out, they wouldn't be able to replenish their elixirs. In the end, they would run out of food and die.
No matter what, everyone had to think of a way to change the situation. They couldn't go on like this.
The Earth Sect's Core Elder opened his mouth and said to everyone, "Does anyone have any suggestions? Why don't we discuss it together?"
