In the Sect Alliance, the various clans were already prepared to fight at any time.
Rescuing Wang Yangcheng was not the end, but the beginning of an even greater war. This was something that all the sects knew in their hearts. On the other hand, Liu Yi had been asking the Life and Death Alliance to gather information, especially information related to the Dragons. Now that the Dragons had joined forces, once they joined forces with Warsky, they would pose a huge threat to the sects. Even if the sects joined forces, together with the Celestial Alliance, it would be very difficult to contend against the entire Dragons. Although they might not be at a disadvantage in terms of numbers of ninth rank Heavenly Masters and ninth rank Mystic Beasts, the difference in individual strength was quite large.
The Dragons had joined forces, but the problem was that the sects did not dare to do so, otherwise, they would be wiped out in one fell swoop. Other than the Hachiko clan, Sengoku clan, and Yan Xing clan, the human race would truly be extinct. After the sects were split up, they would rather be defeated by the Dragons one by one than be slaughtered in one fell swoop.
All the sects felt the arrival of a true crisis. Under the intense crisis, no matter if it was the Sect Master, Sect Master, Elders, or disciples, none of them could sleep.
In the Ice Fire Alliance, Yao and Beauty Yang were both in closed-door cultivation, attempting to find a path to break through the final bottleneck. Lu An naturally would not be idle. He chose to cultivate in the outside world. In these few days, he flew across the land and sea, and fought with many Mystic Beasts. Compared to Yao and Beauty Yang's accumulation, it was even harder for him to break through. Even Yao's talent had stagnated at this final step for more than a year. He had already wasted a lot of time heading to the second southern sea region, and he definitely could not persist for that long.
Battling with someone of the same realm did not raise his strength at all, and could not produce any sense of crisis. Just two days ago, he once again headed to the Sky Embracing Peak, but even in the palace, other than pain, he could not feel much else.
Lu An was very anxious, and the closer he was to the final step, the more anxious he became. Even if he kept persuading himself to calm down, when he thought of Fu Yu's constant suffering, he was unable to calm down at all.
He wondered how Fu Yu was doing now …
He really wanted to go to the Fu Clan to ask about Fu Yu's situation, but he couldn't and didn't have the face to go. When it came to matters involving Fu Yu, even Lu An, who had a steady mentality, was unable to remain calm. This, in turn, affected his cultivation, creating a vicious cycle.
What should he do?
Although Lu An looked fine on the surface and his face was a little gloomy, in reality, he was burning with anxiety and his palms were burning.
As soon as he returned home, his two wives went into seclusion. Liu Yi was busy dealing with the matters of the Alliance and the Alliance. He didn't stay for long either. Instead, he headed to the Southern Ocean's … Heavenly Tiger Island.
Lu An had already spoken with everyone he could. In order to find a different suggestion, he had come here to listen to Prince Qi's opinion.
Prince Qi was naturally on Heavenly Tiger Island. After the Dragons joined forces, the Heavenly Tiger Tribe felt a lot of pressure. After all, because of Lu An, Prince Qi had confronted the Dragons before. In addition, it was no secret that Prince Qi and Lu An were on good terms. It was very likely that the Dragons would pressure the Heavenly Tiger Tribe to force Lu An to come forward. If this really happened, even Lu An wouldn't know what to do.
Recently, Prince Qi had been sleeping less. When Lu An arrived, Prince Qi wasn't in the cave, but he soon arrived. Lu An knew that Prince Qi had been very busy recently and felt very guilty. He said, "I'm sorry. I've implicated the Heavenly Tiger Tribe."
"What's the point of saying this now?" Prince Qi shrugged and said casually, "Why are you looking for me?"
Lu An told Prince Qi about his troubles, and Prince Qi frowned slightly. There were many things about Lu An that people were worried about, but cultivation was the only thing that they had never worried about. This time, Lu An had actually taken the initiative to ask Prince Qi about this matter. This was enough to show how much pressure Lu An was under.
"Become a level-nine Heavenly Master …" Prince Qi sat on the stone bed and said while thinking, "I'm not human, so I don't know what it's like for a human to break through. I can only tell you from the perspective of the Heavenly Tiger Tribe."
"Our Heavenly Tiger Tribe only has two cultivation methods. One is to sleep, and the other is to fight. You know this," Prince Qi said. "However, this is before becoming a level-nine Mystical Beast. If a level-eight Mystical Beast wants to break through to a level-nine Mystical Beast, they usually do one thing."
Lu An was startled and hurriedly asked, "What is it?"
Prince Qi frowned slightly. After thinking for a while, he said truthfully, "Challenge a real level-nine Mystical Beast."
"What?!" Lu An's body shook as he looked at Prince Qi in disbelief.
A level-eight Mystical Beast challenging a level-nine Mystical Beast? Wasn't that just courting death?!
"Of course, it's not as serious as you think," Prince Qi said. "Most of the peak level-eight Heavenly Tigers will challenge their own level-nine Mystical Beasts, but don't think that it's just child's play. They will really die. Just from the time I became the Heavenly Tiger Tribe's leader until now, three Heavenly Tigers have already died in duels. "
"…"
Lu An stared at Prince Qi with wide eyes in shock.
"This is considered our Heavenly Tiger Tribe's ritual." Prince Qi shrugged again as if he was talking about a very ordinary matter. "It's impossible to strengthen the sleeping aspect, so we can only strengthen the fighting aspect. Challenging a level-nine Mystical Beast will give us even more pressure, causing us to have a lot of desire during battle. After so many years, the Heavenly Tiger Tribe has concluded that the desire to live can't help us break through. Instead, it's the desire to win that can help us. The stronger this desire, the greater the chance of breaking through to become a level-nine Heavenly Tiger. "
"…"
Lu An's face was full of shock. After a long time, he took a deep breath to calm himself down and asked, "Then … what about you? Have you also challenged before? "
"Of course." Prince Qi said, "But I didn't challenge my own level-nine Mystical Beast, but a Mystical Beast from another tribe."
Hearing this, Lu An's body shook again!
"You can also see that I'm naturally different from other Heavenly Tigers. In the entire Heavenly Tiger Tribe, I'm the only pure white tiger." Prince Qi said, "My fighting ability has been very strong since I was young. I don't like to be inferior to my own tribe, so I've always been working hard to cultivate. My tribe has placed high hopes on me, so I can't challenge my own tribe. Level-Nine Mystical Beasts of the same tribe will definitely show mercy to me, so I went to challenge a true level-nine Mystical Beast. "
"But … won't you die?" Lu An frowned and said, "Fighting a level-nine Mystical Beast, you'll lose your life with a casual blow."
"Indeed." Prince Qi nodded and said, "Our Heavenly Tiger Tribe isn't strong enough to ignore realms, so I won't really fight a level-nine Mystical Beast. Our goal is to create an even stronger fighting spirit in a situation where it's impossible to win. The level-nine Mystical Beast I fought was something that the Tiger King at the time had informed me beforehand. "
"However, that battle was also the one where I suffered the heaviest injuries." Prince Qi recalled, "At the time, I really did almost die. All the hair on my body was soaked in blood. However, because my fighting spirit grew stronger and stronger during the battle, it didn't take long for me to successfully break through. "
Prince Qi looked at Lu An and said, "But this is only our Heavenly Tiger Tribe's method. Different tribes have different body structures and bloodlines, so there's no reference value at all. Moreover, you're a human."
"…"
Prince Qi was startled. A trace of astonishment finally appeared in her casual eyes, and it quickly turned into astonishment. Because she realized that Lu An's expression didn't seem like he was listening casually. Instead, it was very serious. It was obvious that he had heard everything she had just said!
That's right, Lu An had really heard it.
In the secular world, the true qualitative change from a level-five Heavenly Master to a level-six Heavenly Master was when one could be called a Heavenly Master. However, according to the sects, level-nine Heavenly Master was the true qualitative change, reaching the heavens in a single bound!
If what the sects said was true, it meant that this breakthrough was completely different from before. If one wanted to break through, they had to break through their original cultivation method and surpass their original limits. Only then would they have the possibility of breaking through.
Thus, he should also advance towards greater danger, and even … challenge a level-nine Heavenly Master!
Seeing Lu An's appearance, Prince Qi suddenly panicked. He even felt that he had said something wrong and hurriedly said, "Our challenge is based on the premise that the other party absolutely won't use their true strength to take our lives. You must not act recklessly!"
"I won't act recklessly." Lu An raised his head and looked at Prince Qi with his dark and deep eyes. "Many thanks, Prince Qi."
