April 3rd, midnight. The bright moon hung high in the sky, illuminating this sea area brightly.
It was the first time Lu An stepped on the ground. He was standing on the seabed, at a depth of fifty-five thousand zhang.
Lu An had never experienced this before. He had never stood on the seabed before. As soon as he stood on the seabed, he felt like he was covered in a thin veil.
It was because there was a massive burning flame around one hundred zhang in front of him. The dazzling red light illuminated the entire seabed. Although there was still a dark area in the distance, he could see everything clearly in this area.
The seabed where Lu An was standing had a thin veil, but that was all. Lu An looked around. There was only a small area with a thin veil on the ground. Most of them were exposed rocks, but there were a few bumpy areas. However, it was only for human beings because the height of the rocks was only around one zhang. To the giant beasts, it was like walking on flat ground.
There were only a few rocks that were around one zhang above the ground. It was like the Gobi Desert. Most of them were flat ground. The nearest rock to Lu An was around one hundred zhang away. Lu An didn't move forward. He just observed the surroundings.
At this moment, he wasn't as calm as he looked. Even though he had a steady mind, he was still tense at this moment.
Lu An was afraid that he would trigger some mechanism when he entered the seabed. Perhaps there was a special terrain trap here. Thus, he constantly turned around and used his eyes to check around. Anyway, his Perception could only be used within one zhang. He wasn't qualified to seep into the outside world under Yu Tian Gou's protection.
After observing for ten breaths, Lu An didn't see any change in the environment in his sight. Lu An exhaled in relief, but he didn't lower his guard. If there was no response here, he had to explore the terrain of this seabed to find the secret of this place and the voice that was calling him.
This time, Yu Tian Gou's energy was limited. Lu An couldn't waste time.
Immediately, Lu An stooped and touched the ground. He swept the thin veil aside and then touched the exposed rocks. These rocks were extremely hard. Even though Lu An had used all of his strength to pinch them, he couldn't damage them. In the Eight Ancient Continents, such rocks were priceless. However, they filled the entire seabed here.
Sure enough, differences in strength would lead to differences in perception. This was basically a constant principle.
However, Lu An was not only testing the hardness of the rock, but also trying to sense if there was any special power within the rock. Only he could hear the voice calling out to him. No one else could hear it, not even Prince Qi. This meant that this wasn't a voice from the real world, but rather a spiritual sense transmission. If the sound really came from this plain, then his first task was to find the source of the Spiritual Consciousness.
As far as the eye could see, it was all flat ground. If it was underground, perhaps he could find some clues from these rocks.
Unfortunately, Lu An repeatedly observed the rocks on the ground. He could sense that there was nothing special about them other than their hardness.
However, Lu An was not discouraged. On the contrary, he knew that this was a very normal thing. It was impossible for him to find the secret as soon as he arrived at the seabed. The seabed was equivalent to a small country. How could it be so easy to find it?
Therefore, Lu An immediately went to the nearest protruding rock to see if there was anything special about it.
Whoosh!
The distance of a thousand feet allowed Lu An's figure to instantly appear on this ten feet tall rock. This rock was full of edges and looked very hard and even sharp. The surface was rough but very solid. There were no holes. Lu An used his hands to test the hardness of this rock again. It turned out that it was as hard as the ground.
Because there were no gaps, Lu An wondered if there was something hidden in the rock, or if there was a secret.
However, Lu An believed that even if he activated the Demon Gods Realm and the three Holy Fire Realms at the same time and used Breaking Dawn to attack, he might not be able to move this rock at all. Now, Lu An did not dare to make any large-scale movements. He would only do that after he confirmed that there was no way out. He did not want to make too much noise at the bottom of the sea.
Turning his head, Lu An looked at the huge flame less than 150 feet away from him on the left.
Red flame.
Normal flames were red and yellow with a colorless part at the bottom. However, this flame was not. This flame burned on the surface with a diameter of 6,000 feet and a height of 40,000 feet. It was pure red.
This color … was exactly the same as the Empyrean Sacred Fire that he had.
The distance was less than 150 feet, and there was such a huge flame in front of him. In fact, the temperature where Lu An was was at an unimaginable level. Even the seawater was rolling violently. Lu An definitely could not withstand the rolling force with his own ability. However, Yu Tiangou blocked it for him, so the surging force was within his tolerance range.
The surging force was reduced, but the temperature was not. Lu An was constantly releasing cold air within the ten feet radius. However, to test the temperature of the seawater, Lu An opened his arms and removed all the cold air within his arms.
Whoosh!
The boiling seawater immediately surged to his hands!
Hot!
Lu An even frowned. Even he could feel the heat. It was the first time he had such a feeling!
However, it was just hot. It did not cause any harm to Lu An's hands. He did not even feel pain. It was because he had the Empyrean Sacred Fire that Lu An dared to make such an attempt.
The hot temperature did not only come from the seawater, but also from the energy crazily transmitted in the seawater. The seawater was far from being able to withstand the heat. The heat had turned into a physical existence and was spreading.
Lu An raised his head and looked at the 40,000 feet flame in front of him. He took a deep breath and his expression became more serious.
There should be no mistake.
Although he had not personally touched this flame, it should be the Empyrean Sacred Fire.
Master.
Lu An frowned. He did not forget what his master had said to him. His master had never mentioned his identity or origin. He had only said that he would know when he was strong enough. Could it be … that it was really related to this ten thousand year forbidden land?
Lu An resisted the desire to get close to the flame. It was not that he was afraid of the temperature, but he was worried that the cold air he released was not enough to resist the heat released by the flame. It would affect or even destroy Yu Tiangou. Getting close to the flame or even touching it was his last resort. At this moment, he would not do that.
Immediately, Lu An moved, running fast on the seabed.
It didn't take Lu An a long time to cross the distance of a small country. However, it would be troublesome if he had to check every nook and cranny. More importantly, the situation in the Eight Ancient Continents was thousands or even tens of thousands of times more difficult to do so. Lu An's perception could only reach one zhang around here, which was the biggest influence.
However, no matter what, Lu An had to go and search. It was hard to think of a solution, and it would waste Yu Tiangou's time. Moreover, while he was running, it wouldn't affect his thinking.
Lu An's speed was fast. His powerful space perception allowed him to move forward in a straight line. He didn't deviate a bit during the whole process. The two thousand zhang wide and four thousand zhang tall flame could illuminate a very far area. However, no matter how far it was, it had a limit. It couldn't exceed five hundred zhang. Five hundred zhang away, the sea was plunged into darkness.
With Lu An's power, it was hard for him to release the light. The range he could illuminate was limited. His line of sight was blocked, which increased the difficulty of searching.
From the area covered by the flame to the darkness, Shi Yan's sense of direction became a big problem. It was truly dark here. It was like a person's eyes were covered by an opaque light. It was very easy to deviate from the original route and then completely lose your way.
However, Lu An was still moving forward in a straight line. He didn't deviate from the route in the light. He had moved more than two hundred zhang fast.
Traveling wasn't his purpose. Observing was. Lu An had been trying his best to observe and find the difference in the area he could see. However, it was a massive and arduous task. It wasn't something he could finish in a short time.
