Seeing how excited Lu An was, Prince Qi smiled and said, "Don't get too excited. It's just a clue. I don't know if it'll be useful."
That's right. The mission of investigating the Sacred Fire Plains was naturally given to the Life and Death Alliance. After all, they weren't helping other humans this time. They were only helping Lu An, which was within the Life and Death Alliance's scope of benefits. Liu Yi had originally planned to have the entire Life and Death Alliance help with the search, but after the Flowing Moon Clan was suddenly attacked, only the Sky Tiger Clan could carry out this mission. In other words, the Sky Tiger Clan would bear the dangers of this operation alone, and the rewards would only be the Sky Tiger Clan's contribution.
Lu An took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and stared at Prince Qi.
"You also know that our Sky Tiger Clan doesn't like to live in groups. We prefer to live alone. Therefore, apart from the two southern seas, our Sky Tiger Clan lives in all the seas." Prince Qi said, "It's the same outside the Extreme North Ice Origin Formation in the Extreme North Sea. Moreover, we don't just make enemies. Although we like to fight, we don't kill indiscriminately. On the contrary, we make friends with many other races, causing our Sky Tiger Clan's network to be very wide."
"After you told me the location of the Sacred Fire Plains, I sent my clansmen to investigate and also asked them if they had been there before. As a result, two Sky Tigers had lived in that sea for a long time. One of them was even a Rank Nine Sky Tiger and had a good relationship with the surrounding races. I had it personally communicate with the surrounding races, including the races living in the deep sea. "
"Logically speaking, those that can live in the deep sea are all powerful races. However, there's actually a limit, and that limit is 15,000 meters deep." Prince Qi said seriously, "Even a Rank Nine Mystical Beast would find it difficult to survive at 15,000 meters. Once it exceeds 20,000 meters, even I can't enter that depth, let alone live there. However, there are creatures living everywhere in the sea. Creatures or mystical beasts below 20,000 meters are actually not very strong, especially once they reach a higher altitude, they won't have any advantage in competition. Their bodies are very soft and even transparent, which is why they have the qualifications to live in the deeper parts of the sea. "
"The deep-sea race that my clansmen know lives in the depths of the ocean that is more than twenty thousand feet deep. They are a kind of strange beasts with the shape of a long belt, called the Long Leaf Race." When it came to serious matters, Prince Qi was clearly much more serious. He said, "According to what they said, they are the only underwater beasts that live in the sea within a radius of twenty thousand meters around the Sacred Fire Plains. The information I obtained was also provided by the Long Leaf Clan. "
Lu An nodded. He knew that Prince Qi was referring to the single source of information. There was no way to verify whether the Longleaf Tribe was lying.
"According to the Longleaf Clan, the first thing that can be confirmed is that the Sacred Fire Plains really does exist." Prince Qi continued, "However, the problem lies in the fact that not all members of the Longleaf clan have the qualifications and strength to head to the Sacred Fire Plains. Only those who have reached the ninth step have the qualifications to head there. However, even then, they can only approach it. It's impossible for them to enter it."
"Secondly, the average depth of the seabed around the Holy Fire Plain is about 30,000 meters. That is to say, the Holy Fire Plain is a crater with a cliff of over 20,000 meters." Prince Qi's voice became somewhat heavy as he said, "They said that this is a true cliff, without any slope to cushion the impact. As for why they say it's 20,000 meters, it's not the true height of the seabed, but the height of the flames above the seabed. "
Flames?
Lu An was shocked. He hurriedly asked, "The entire Sacred Fire Plain is burning with huge flames? Even the seabed isn't exposed? "
If that was the case, then how huge would the flames be?!
"That's not it." Prince Qi shook his head and said, "My clansmen asked the same question as you. In reality, there are indeed many flames burning at the bottom of the sea. However, after ten thousand years, they have slowly weakened. At present, the flames on the plain have decreased by a lot. However, there are still many large balls of flames burning on the ground. The reason why they are unable to accurately determine the distance is because the flames have turned all the water within 20,000 meters scorching hot. Even the ninth step strange beasts of the Longleaf Clan are unable to transmit their perception to the bottom before being destroyed by the heat. They don't dare to dive into the depths of the Sacred Fire Plain. After all, their bodies are more fragile than their perception. "
Lu An understood. In a situation where one's perception was unable to reach the bottom, one could only estimate the depth of the Sacred Fire Plain through perception and sight. However, generally speaking, one's estimation of the depth would only be shallow and not deep.
"Then what about Yu Tiangou?" Lu An hurriedly asked, "Do they know the meaning of this sentence?"
"They don't." Prince Qi shrugged and said, "That's all the information I've received. That's why I said it was a little progress. Don't be happy too early."
Lu An took a deep breath and said seriously, "It's already a lot!"
That's right. The greatest value of this information was that it confirmed that the Dark Abyss Clan was indeed pointing to the Sacred Fire Plain. This was much better than wasting their efforts in the end. It also gave them more confidence. Moreover, they now knew many of the specific details.
"Then do they have a way to bring me there?" Lu An asked after some hesitation.
"No." Prince Qi smiled and said, "You don't have to think about it. Unless it's the Hachiko clan or the Sengoku clan, I don't think any person or beast can bring you there."
"…"
Lu An was startled at first. Then, he couldn't help but feel disappointed.
"There are many things in this world that you want to do but can't do. I can't go to a depth of five hundred thousand zhang. This means that this isn't something you should be thinking about right now." Prince Qi advised, "I suggest you put this matter aside and put your mind on other things. There are many ways to cultivate. If you really can't do it, you can go and deal with the three sects. This way, I can help you a little."
Lu An frowned slightly. He looked at Prince Qi and said, "Thank you, Prince Qi. I'll go back and think about it."
Princess Qi nodded. Given her personality, she wouldn't advise Lu An too much. However, this was all she could do and the information she had gathered. She wouldn't be able to help much from now on.

Eight Ancient Continents, Ice Fire Union.
After Lu An returned, the first thing he did was tell them that Prince Qi refused to leave Heavenly Tiger Island. The seven women weren't surprised, but they were a little disappointed. After all, they didn't want to see Heavenly Tiger Tribe in danger. Then, Lu An told them about Prince Qi's information. The seven women were very surprised. They didn't expect Heavenly Tiger Tribe to get the news so quickly.
"If that's the case, then it's as Prince Qi said. There's no need to continue wasting time on the Sacred Fire Plain." Liu Yi agreed with Prince Qi's point of view.
The seven women looked at Lu An worriedly. Lu An knew what they were thinking and said seriously, "Don't worry. I won't let myself die. I won't do anything reckless."
Hearing Lu An's promise, the seven women sighed in relief. Lu An didn't leave. Instead, he returned to his private pavilion to cultivate.
Although it was called cultivation, it was meaningless in this situation. Lu An also didn't cultivate. He sat in the room with a frown. Obviously, he was thinking about something.
Lu An was indeed thinking. He was thinking about something Prince Qi had said.
"Unless it's the Hachiko clan or Sengoku, I don't think there's anyone or any mystical beast that can bring you in."
When Prince Qi had said this, he had sensed something. However, it was just a feeling, and he couldn't put his finger on it. Therefore, he needed to calm down and think about this. Although Prince Qi had said it unintentionally, he felt that this sentence was very enlightening.
Could it be that … he should look for Sengoku or the Hachiko clan?
No, the Immortal Master and the Immortal Empress were in seclusion. The Fu Clan didn't allow him to go. He couldn't find anyone to help him. This was a dead end.
If this path didn't work, it meant that no one or any mystical beast could bring him in … but what did this mean?
Lu An frowned and thought hard. He felt that he had overlooked something. Moreover, it was the most obvious and ordinary clue. This feeling was very uncomfortable. Lu An closed his eyes and clenched his fists.
Then …
After a full fifteen minutes, Lu An's body shook violently. He opened his eyes and even widened them!
He finally knew what he had overlooked!
The power of space!
