Eighth Ancient Era, Year 13,646, January 1st.
It was the beginning of a new year. As the bell rang, the 30 sects burst into cheers and shouts. The shouts were very loud. Everyone was shouting with all their might, as if venting the pain of the previous year, as if cheering for the new year.
The elders of the Ice Fire Union also shouted, but the momentum was obviously not as big as the sects. As for Liu Yi and Yang Mu, the two didn't even open their mouths.
Until now, there was still no news from home. This meant that Lu An didn't come back in the end.
That's right, it was indeed so. The five women who sat in the Ice Fire Union for a night didn't wait for their beloved one. Even if they were prepared, they still couldn't control their sadness in the end.
Lu An once said that he would be with them every New Year. Each of them carefully prepared gifts for Lu An, but they were all in their rings and didn't have a chance to take them out.
Angry?
No, the seven women were really not angry at all. Lu An left for Fu Yu. They could completely understand Lu An's decision. After all, Fu Yu was suffering all the time. If Lu An was locked in the Awakening Spirit Gate, they would definitely go completely crazy.
Sad?
No way, they were really sad.
Even if they were sensible, they still wanted Lu An to come back and spend the New Year with them. Even if it was just for a moment, even if he just said a few words to them and left, they wouldn't be as sad as they were now.
In the feast, Liu Yi and Yang Mu looked at the magnificent performances in front of them. The light illuminated their beautiful faces, but their expressions were particularly calm. Especially Yang Mu, she couldn't hide the sadness in her heart.
No matter how pleasing the performance was, it seemed that it couldn't enter their sea of consciousness. Even Liu Yi's eyes were very empty. She was clearly looking forward, but it was as if she didn't see anything.
The following days passed day by day. It turned out that Lu An didn't come back only on New Year's Eve. He didn't come back on the first day of the New Year, making the seven women sit for a whole day. He didn't come back on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, then on the fifteenth day of the lunar New Year, and then … who knew how long it had been.
Even many people in the Ice and Fire League couldn't tell how long their leader had been gone. They only felt that they hadn't seen her for a long time. However, the seven girls remembered it clearly. For them, every day felt like a year, too unbearable.

January 27th.
That's right, twenty-seven days had passed since New Year's Eve.
In the core of the vast Second Southern Sea Region, under the ground of the central continent, a figure was flying at full speed. It flashed through the darkness, leaving only a bright red light.
Yes, it was Lu An.
Including the days before New Year's Eve, Lu An had been in the Central Continent for more than a month. During this process, he did his best to rush forward. He had never rushed so frantically before, and he had even rushed so far. Lu An didn't know how far he had flown, nor did he know where he was on the central continent. All he could do was keep flying forward and try his best to ensure that he was on the right track.
However, Lu An also felt that he should be reaching the core of the central continent soon. After all, he still had a certain sense of time. It had to be said that running for his life for a month, especially when there was no threat to his life, made him overdraft his physical strength many times. And this kind of all-out running actually made Lu An's strength increase. It was as if he was gradually approaching the peak of the eighth level, and even felt that he had touched the bottleneck of the peak of the eighth level.
However, Lu An wasn't sure if this was because of his running. After all, no matter how hard he tried, it wasn't a battle of life and death. If cultivation was so simple, he wouldn't be so worried. He could just run every day and that would be enough. Lu An admitted that this month's increase in strength was related to his own strength, but more importantly, it might be because of the environment here.
This underground environment gave Lu An a special feeling, but he couldn't tell what it was. Since he couldn't figure it out, he didn't want to waste time thinking about it. Rushing forward was the most important thing.
Because he was rushing at full speed, the power he emitted carried a lot of light, illuminating a huge area around him. At this moment, Lu An's body suddenly shook. His eyes focused, and he immediately looked up!
This … the rock layer above him was changing!
Lu An's eyes focused. He was sure that he wasn't seeing things! Although the change wasn't big, the rock layer above him was obviously starting to sink. The height of five thousand feet was gradually narrowing! Lu An looked ahead with a serious expression. The trend didn't stop as far as his eyes could see. If this continued, it wouldn't be long before the rock layer above him merged with the ground. That would be … the end of the road!
A dead end!
Bang!
Lu An's figure descended from the sky and stood firmly on the ground. He was panting non-stop. The energy in his body had already reached seventy percent. He couldn't help but be concerned about this sudden change after rushing underground for a month. The road ahead was definitely different from before. Since he had to rest and replenish his strength anyway, he might as well rest now. After he fully recovered, he would at least have more confidence to face the danger.
Lu An sat cross-legged on the ground and quickly recovered his strength. This time he rested for a very long time. After a full four hours, he got up. Feeling the abundant energy in his body, Lu An clenched his fists and took a deep breath.
Whoosh —
Once again, Lu An's figure flew in the air. But this time, it was at a low altitude and he didn't enter the realm of the Demon Gods. Facts proved that it was just as Lu An thought. Even the degree of descent was gradually increasing. After flying for less than a hundred thousand feet, Lu An stopped again and stood on the ground.
Lu An looked ahead. There was a huge barrier of two thousand feet in height. The ground above and below suddenly connected, completely sealing the road. Both sides were endless. Lu An flew to both sides for a long time but still couldn't find an intersection.
There was no road to go.
Lu An's eyes were dignified. With his strength, he naturally couldn't force the wall open, and there was no need to. He flew forward again. Just as he was about to hit the huge wall, his whole body suddenly disappeared.
That's right, Lu An entered the Creation Space and entered the wall. Fortunately, the wall didn't have a second layer of space like the two thousand feet below the ground. Otherwise, Lu An would really be trapped here.
The wall wasn't too thick, about ten thousand feet or so, and it was all rock layers. Even though Lu An's speed in the Creation Space was very slow, he quickly flew out of it.
After flying out, the sun shone directly on the heaven and earth.
The moment he left the rock layer, Lu An immediately released his spatial perception to sense the surroundings. Then his body suddenly shook!
Less than two thousand feet above his head, there was an eighth rank Megalosaurus!
This Megalosaurus wandered around in the space, constantly emitting dragon breath sounds, looking left and right, obviously looking for something. However, this Megalosaurus' movements were not active, and it seemed to be a little lazy and tired.
Lu An kept himself calm. First of all, he flew out of the underground space at a height of about eighteen thousand feet above the ground. Now he was less than two thousand feet above the ground, which meant that the height difference between the outside and the ground inside was at least fifteen thousand feet. Secondly, he didn't believe that he was unlucky to encounter Dragons as soon as he appeared. It must be that the number of Dragons here had reached a certain level.
Danger!
But fortunately, these Dragons didn't know that he could move in the second layer of space. Otherwise, they would've kept breaking the space. The appearance of the Dragons also meant that he had found the right place. There should be many secrets here, perhaps the secret of the droplet object. The most uncomfortable thing was that he had to move in the Creation Space, which would slow him down a lot.
But now there was no other way. Since he had arrived at the destination, he had to be more careful. Everything had to be done to ensure the success of the operation. Otherwise, all his previous efforts would be wasted, and he would be unable to rescue Fu Yu.
Immediately, Lu An moved, sticking close to the ground and moving forward in the deep pit.
