That's right, it was an embroidered box.
It was a rectangular embroidered box that was blue in color. It was neither too big nor too small. It was about a foot long and two inches tall. If this was the secular world, everyone's first reaction upon seeing this embroidered box would be that it was used to store books. Regardless of its size or shape, it was perfect for storing books. Important books such as Heavenly Arts and Pill Recipes would all be sold with such embroidered boxes.
However, Lu An did not believe that there were books in this box. If there were books, the Hachiko clan could have kept them in their library. Furthermore, this was something that the head of the Fu Clan wanted to give to him. If it was a book, Fu Lie could have just passed it to him. Why did he have to waste so much time and effort for him to retrieve it? Wouldn't that be torturing Fu Yu?
However, that was just that. Lu An immediately stretched out his hand to grab the embroidered box. He was afraid that the water would disappear and cause the embroidered box to fall again. The process was very easy. Lu An directly picked up the embroidered box from the water. The embroidered box was completely separated from the water. Not a single drop of water was taken away.
The moment the embroidered box was taken away, the water quickly disappeared and the entire platform returned to its original state. The Heavenly Water Insignia reappeared on the platform. However, the platform had become metallic again. The two insignia did not merge. It was as if the Heavenly Water Insignia had lost one of its functions.
Lu An stretched out his hand to retrieve the Heavenly Water Insignia. He observed it carefully but did not discover any changes. He could only put it back into his space ring. After retrieving the embroidered box, he did not immediately leave. Instead, he prepared to open it here. He had to confirm what was inside and whether it was something he needed. If he could not increase his strength, this trip would have been a waste.
The embroidered box was not locked, nor did it have any mechanism. Lu An only used a little force to open a gap. Lu An heaved a sigh of relief and immediately opened the embroidered box completely.
When the embroidered box was opened, Lu An's body shook violently. His eyes widened!
It was empty!
It was actually empty!
Lu An was stunned. He could not believe his eyes. He turned the embroidered box upside down and swung it down. However, nothing appeared! He hurriedly used his hands to touch every corner of the brocade box, but no matter what he did, the brocade box did not react at all!
It looked like a brocade box, but the brocade box was empty!
The sudden blow threw Lu An into confusion. This was a brocade box that he had obtained after using the Tianshui Token. How could it be empty?
If the brocade box was empty, it would mean that all his efforts were for naught, and the four months he had spent away were completely wasted! Lu An couldn't believe it. Therefore, he kept trying all sorts of methods to stimulate the brocade box. He even tried to stimulate the platform in front of him and the blue ore three hundred feet above him …

At the center of the Eight Ancient Continents, on the God of Heaven Mountain.
On the giant rock, the Heavenly Deity had already sat down cross-legged again. However, there were still no disciples below him. His expression was clearly not as calm as it usually was.
At this moment, a disciple suddenly entered the courtyard and bowed to the God of Heaven. "Master, the head of the Fu Clan is here."
"Let him come over." The Heavenly Deity said.
"Yes."
The disciple immediately left. Very quickly, a figure appeared in the courtyard. It was the head of the Fu Clan, Fu Yang.
Only Fu Yang came. The disciple did not follow him. Fu Yang entered the courtyard. In the huge courtyard, there was only him and the God of Heaven. He immediately felt an immense pressure.
Even if he was the head of the Fu Clan, even if he was extremely powerful, in front of the God of Heaven, he could only differentiate between superior and subordinate.
The God of Heaven was the God of Heaven. He was an existence that no one could offend.
"Greetings, God of Heaven." Fu Yang bowed and said respectfully.
The God of Heaven looked at Fu Yang. His voice was obviously heavier than usual as he said, "Don't tell me you don't know why I asked you to come here?"
Fu Yang's heart trembled as he furrowed his brows.
That's right. He did not come here on his own accord. It was the God of Heaven who asked him to come. When he received the God of Heaven's order, his heart sank. Unless it was an extremely special situation, the God of Heaven would never summon them. Even if he had an order, he would send his disciples to the various clans to pass it on. This time, he was the only one who was asked to come. He knew very well why.
More than four months had passed. During this period of time, Fu Yang had thought about this matter countless times. He even believed that the God of Heaven had long known about this matter. If his guess was correct, then the God of Heaven's summoning this time meant that there had been a fundamental change in the situation.
Could it be … Lu An had successfully arrived at the palace? Or did something happen to Lu An?
But now that he was standing in front of the God of Heaven, thinking was secondary. He had to immediately answer the God of Heaven's question. Hiding or lying in front of the God of Heaven was asking for humiliation. Fu Yang took a deep breath and said, "Your subordinate knows."
"The clan's orders cannot be spread to outsiders. Furthermore, only the head of the clan can use it. This is the rule I set." The God of Heaven continued, "Do you still remember the punishment for disobeying this rule?"
"… …"
Fu Yang clenched his fists so tightly that they could even make a sound. He was not expressing his anger and hatred towards the God of Heaven. He just did not expect that things would come to this point. He was prepared for the worst.
Fu Yang took another deep breath and replied, "The death penalty."
With that, Fu Yang's heart sank. He had even lost all hope of surviving. If the God of Heaven wanted to kill him, no one could protect him. No one could go against the God of Heaven. Even the entire Hachiko clan could not. He could not go against the God of Heaven. Otherwise, he would implicate the entire Fu Clan.
He had indeed broken the rules. He had to admit it.
The God of Heaven looked down at Fu Yang. He could clearly sense that Fu Yang's aura was calming down. This meant that he was prepared to face death.
However … …
"I will spare your life during the battle." The God of Heaven said.
Fu Yang's body trembled. He immediately raised his head to look at the God of Heaven. He was overjoyed!
This was the joy of coming back from the dead. No one wanted to die!
"Thank you, God of Heaven!" Fu Yang immediately bowed deeply to the God of Heaven!
"I will spare your life once, but there will not be a second time." The God of Heaven looked at Fu Yang and said coldly, "You are not allowed to tell anyone about the secret of the palace. That includes your wife and daughter, and even Lu An! Otherwise, not only you, but the entire Fu Clan will disappear! "
When Fu Yang heard this, his bent body trembled. He immediately stood up and looked at the God of Heaven!
The God of Heaven never joked!
The God of Heaven also never went back on his words. He had already shown mercy by sparing his life this time. However, he definitely believed that the God of Heaven would not show mercy the next time! He could gamble with his own life, but he definitely would not gamble with the lives of his entire clan. His wife and daughter were also from the Fu Clan. When the time came, none of them would be able to escape!
"Yes!" Fu Yang took a deep breath and immediately said, "I will remember this!"
"You can leave now." The God of Heaven did not say anything else. A person who truly had supreme authority did not need to repeat or add anything.
"I will take my leave now." When Fu Yang heard this, he immediately bowed and bade farewell. He, who had just escaped from death, felt weak all over. He quickly left and wanted to return home to recuperate.
Fu Yang quickly left the courtyard and disappeared from the God of Heaven Mountain. Only the God of Heaven was left in the courtyard. At this moment, the God of Heaven suddenly raised his hand.
The God of Heaven raised his right hand, and the space around him changed slightly. Following that, a book suddenly appeared out of thin air and landed in the God of Heaven's hand.
There were four big words on the book.
《Secret of the Sacred Fire》.
That's right, this book was the item that Lu An lost in the brocade box in the Central Great Hall on the other side of the world.
The brocade box was indeed empty. This was because the book had already been taken away by the God of Heaven before Lu An could retrieve it.
There were too many secrets in this book. Some of the secrets were only known to the God of Heaven, and he could only let himself know about it. He could not let anyone else know about it.
However, he did not expect that this Lu An would really be able to enter the Central Great Hall from the edge of the Second Southern Sea. After that, he would be able to enter the core area while being chased by the eight Dragons. He would then be able to find the mechanism to enter the underground space and open the city gates to enter the palace.
Furthermore, this Lu An had even defeated his disciple.
Along the way, this Lu An's luck was exceptionally good, but his own performance was also exceptionally good. If either of the two were lacking, it would be impossible for him to enter the palace, and he would not be able to force the God of Heaven to personally take action.
Boom …
Raging flames suddenly appeared on the book. Soon, the entire book was completely burned and disappeared from this world.
This time, he had interfered with fate!
He firmly believed that fate was always on his side!
