Eight Ancient Continent, Ice Fire Union Headquarters.
Late at night, Lu An returned home. The seven girls had been waiting for him for a long time. They heaved a sigh of relief when he returned so late, thinking that he had met with danger outside. When Lu An took out the Yu Tian Gou, the seven girls were stunned. They looked at the round stone that was not even as big as the palm of their hand in surprise.
It was an ordinary black stone with no special features other than being very smooth.
"This is the Yu Tian Gou?" Beauty Yang's voice was cold. She looked at Lu An doubtfully.
"Yes." Lu An nodded and said, "Alliance Master Lonemoon gave it to me."
"…"
Then, Lu An repeated what Alliance Master Lonemoon told him about the Yu Tian Gou and showed it to the seven girls. The seven girls also did not expect the stone to be so heavy. Only those who had become a level eight Heavenly Master could lift it. Even Yang Mu, who had just become a level eight Heavenly Master, found it difficult to lift it.
The seven girls were very shocked when they heard that the Yu Tian Gou could only be used twice. They knew what this meant. More importantly, the Yu Tian Gou could not leave his body. This was something that they needed to pay attention to.
There might be some dangers in the five hundred thousand feet deep sea. Torrents and all kinds of traps might cause a huge impact. The impact could easily exceed Lu An's limit. Once Lu An lost control of his body, the Yu Tian Gou on him might fly away because of the impact.
Once he left the range of the Yu Tian Gou, Lu An would definitely die.
"How can we secure the Yu Tian Gou so that it won't be separated from the body?" Yang Mu asked worriedly.
Liu Yi frowned. She looked at Lu An and asked, "Husband, do you have any ideas?"
"I have some ideas." Lu An nodded slightly and said, "First of all, Yu Tiangou must be tied to me, but it can't affect my movements, especially when I'm in trouble. It can't affect my actions. Second, it is very heavy. The place where it is tied should not affect my body's original center of gravity. Otherwise, it will be hard for me to adapt. Third, it cannot be tied to a place that is hard for me to defend. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, I can't even defend myself. "
Hearing Lu An's words, the seven women's hearts tightened. Before Lu An said these words, the first thing that the seven girls thought of was to wear it around their necks, like a necklace. Although it didn't look friendly, it could be stuck at the top and bottom so that it wouldn't fall off. However, such a weight on his neck would seriously affect his center of gravity, which would severely affect his movements. It might even cause Lu An to be unable to breathe.
If it didn't affect the center of gravity, it could only be the torso, and there were only three torso parts: the chest, the back, and the waist.
His back was hard to defend, so only his chest and waist were left.
"Husband, do you want to put it on your chest or waist?" Liu Yi asked.
Lu An frowned slightly. In fact, he had been struggling in his heart. Both options had their pros and cons. Although it would be easier to defend if it was placed in front of the chest, such a large weight would still affect the center of gravity and movement. Although it wouldn't affect his center of gravity, it would be harder to defend against.
After weighing the pros and cons, Lu An took a light breath and said to the seven women, "I'll tie it around my waist."
The seven women's hearts were slightly shaken, but they immediately nodded. In this aspect, no one could give Lu An any suggestions, and he could only make his own judgment. Lu An ultimately chose to balance his center of gravity. This way, he would be able to use his hands and feet to face danger, and his chances of survival would be higher than if he put it on his chest.
After Lu An made his decision, it was time for the preparation stage. Lu An requested that only his family members would know about Yu Tiangou, and it had to be kept a secret from everyone. Therefore, Yao Yao couldn't help Sengoku search for materials to help Lu An tie it around his body. Liu Yi communicated with the four allies, and in less than half a day, she obtained a good item.
A belt made from the skin of a Rank Nine Mystical Beast. This way, not only could it avoid the weight of Rank Nine metal, but it could also guarantee the defensive ability as much as possible. This skin was practically no burden to Lu An, and it could also perfectly withstand the weight of Yu Tiangou. After digging out half of the holes in the belt, he placed Yu Tiangou inside and wrapped it around his waist. Lu An experimented with many movements and was very satisfied.
This time, most of Yu Tiangou had to be exposed, otherwise, Lu An was worried that the energy it released wouldn't be enough. After everything was prepared, it was time for Lu An to set off.
The next day, in the afternoon.
Everything was ready. Liu Yi even took out a few immortal pills from Sengoku and gave them to Lu An, fearing that Lu An didn't have enough pills. The seven women looked at Lu An with extreme worry. This operation was really not a small one. It was completely different from Lu An's previous experiential learning. It was even more dangerous than when Lu An went to the central land of the second southern sea region.
There was a very solid and stable rock layer there, which allowed Lu An to pass through the second layer space, but there was no such thing in the sea. If Lu An made any mistake, he would lose his life on the spot. This was an operation that couldn't tolerate any mistakes.
More importantly, although the Long Leaf Clan stated that there were no strange beasts living in the Sacred Fire Plains, this kind of thing was hard to say. If there really was a strange beast living in the Sacred Fire Plains, living in the deep sea, then even if its body was weak, the power it released would be extremely terrifying.
Thinking of this, the seven women didn't even dare to continue thinking.
The seven women's faces were very pale. Only Lu An's mood was normal. Although he was also very nervous, he was more cautious and impatient.
Since he had decided to go, and since everything was ready, it was better to go early and not delay!
Lu An took a deep breath and said to the seven women, "Wait for me at home. During this period, try to avoid action as much as possible. You must ensure your safety. Everything will wait for me to come back."
The seven women looked nervous and nodded slightly. They wanted to say some words of encouragement to Lu An, but when the words came to their mouths, they couldn't say a single word. Because they felt that whatever they said was useless.
"Husband." Yao opened her mouth and said with a gentle voice, "You must come back safely."
Lu An looked at Yao, nodded, and said, "If you're ready to go into seclusion, then go into seclusion. There's no need to wait for me. I hope that when I come back, you've already broken through to a higher level."
That's right. During this period of time, Yao had been considering whether to go into seclusion or not. However, because things kept happening, Yao didn't go into seclusion to cultivate. Actually, Yao had already touched the bottleneck a long time ago, but she had never found the best direction to break through the bottleneck. If the direction of breakthrough was wrong, not only would it not succeed, it would cause even greater trouble for future breakthroughs. Hence, Yao had always been very cautious. And recently, she finally found a direction, so she should go into seclusion and try to break through in this direction.
Yao lightly nodded and said, "Alright. Husband, you don't have to worry about me."
Yao was afraid that Lu An would be distracted because of her. Lu An also understood his wife's meaning. He raised his hand, and instantly, a teleportation array appeared in the house. The blue light made the seven women's hearts tremble.
"I'm leaving." Lu An looked at the seven women and said.
The seven women were shaken one more time. They couldn't help but take a step forward as they were afraid that Lu An would really leave.
However, Lu An didn't hesitate. He was resolute. After looking at the seven women, he directly entered the teleportation array. He didn't linger.
Swoosh —
The teleportation array closed, and the blue light disappeared completely.
The seven women were bewildered, looking at the teleportation array and Lu An disappearing. After Lu An left, they felt that the entire room was empty and desolate.
All they could do now was to pray.
— — —

The Second North Sea Area was close to the Far North Sea Area. Above a vast and calm sea area.
Swoosh!
A teleportation array suddenly lit up, and a figure flew out, standing in the middle of the empty sky and sea.
It was Lu An.
As soon as Lu An appeared, he could feel the scorching heat rising from the sea surface. However, the sea was extremely calm. There was no fluctuation. It was different from the afternoon in the Eight Ancient Continents. At this moment, it was the middle of the night, just before dawn. The sky had many stars and the bright moon in the East. After the blue teleportation array disappeared, Lu An's figure blended perfectly into the dark night.
Looking at the endless sea underneath, Lu An's black eyes became more profound. He raised his hand, touching the Yu Tian Gou, which was tied to his waist. His brows furrowed.
It was impossible to say that he wasn't afraid. However, he was more afraid of something. Compared to that, death wasn't worth mentioning.
Taking a deep breath, Lu An's eyes sparkled. His figure disappeared instantly, dashing toward the sea underneath.
Boom!
A massive wave exploded. At the same time, the sea surface rippled, expanding in all directions.
The calm sea surface was broken one more time.
