Second North Sea, around and above the Sacred Fire Plain.
Over the past three days, the Dragons had already completely surrounded and sealed off this sea area, not allowing any race unrelated to this operation to enter this sea area. The Dragons had mobilized almost three-quarters of their strength to completely seal off the sky above this sea area, including the sea area outside the Sacred Fire Plain.
Just eight days ago, they watched as Lu An was rescued by someone. Now that the opportunity had come again, they would absolutely not allow any accidents to happen again.
This time, when they saw Lu An again, they would not even say a word of nonsense. They would immediately grab him and control him, even if they accidentally killed Lu An in the process!
However, even the Dragons had to admit that this sea area was indeed very strange. Even in the air above the sea, they could feel the rising heat. The eight Dragon Kings even personally entered this sea area, wanting to see how deep they could go, but they were forced to stop after barely reaching two hundred thousand feet. The water pressure here was greater than in other sea areas, and after entering the sea, the heat increased exponentially. At a depth of two hundred thousand feet, even the eight Dragon Kings felt a little hot. No wonder the deep-sea races said that they could not enter the range of the Sacred Fire Plain directly from above.
This sea area had never been so lively. Great fanfare was not enough to describe the momentum of this huge sea area. However, after three days of such great momentum, there was no reaction from the sea at all, let alone the shadow of Lu An.
Although the Dragons were prepared for a long battle, it did not mean that the other races also had such plans. Especially for the deep-sea races, even if they did not enter the range of the Sacred Fire Plain, they would still have to bear the huge heat even if they were in the surroundings. Only those with strength of the ninth step could bear it. They could not be allowed to stay in the vicinity of the Sacred Fire Plain. In other words, judging from their physical condition, they had to retreat.
Retreating meant giving Lu An an opportunity. One must know that according to the information of the Longleaf Race, Lu An was not afraid of water pressure and temperature, which was equivalent to giving Lu An more space.
The Dragons found a total of six deep-sea races, including the Longleaf Race, a total of seven. All of them were second-rate races and above, and most of them were first-rate races. Even so, these deep-sea races could not bear it and kept sending people to discuss with the Dragons.
The Dragons could not disregard the lives of others, so they could only agree to let these races continue to retreat. However, the more they retreated, the more worried they became. They had no choice but to think of other ways. The most direct way was to find more deep-sea races and take turns to guard the edge of the Sacred Fire Plain.
However, the deep sea races that the Dragons could contact had not been found. The other deep sea races were very low-key and never left the deep sea. For the past three days, the eight Dragon Kings only had one choice in their hearts. This race was much more powerful than the current seven deep sea races. Even so, they were still hesitant about whether or not they should let this race help them.
It was none other than one of the top races in the Southernmost Sea Region, the Nether Ghost Race!
Ten thousand years ago, the Nether Ghost Tribe and the Black Bear Tribe had a great battle at the edge of the southernmost sea. Logically speaking, the Nether Ghost Tribe, a deep-sea race that was not good at fighting, had actually completely wiped out the Black Bear Tribe on the surface of the sea. This was enough to show how powerful the Nether Ghost Tribe was. In the deep sea domain, the Nether Ghost Tribe was the absolute overlord. No other race could contend against them.
However, what worried the Dragons was that although the Nether Ghost Tribe was powerful and there were many ninth-level Nether Ghosts, this race had a strange personality. Their way of doing things had always been unpredictable, and they always did things that were unexpected. Even in the southernmost sea region, the Nether Ghost Tribe was not a likeable race. They almost had no friends. However, the Nether Ghost Tribe was very safe as long as they stayed in the deep sea. It could even be said that the entire southernmost sea region below 25,000 feet was the territory of the Nether Ghost Tribe.
What if the Nether Ghost Tribe really caught Lu An but kidnapped Lu An? If the Nether Ghost Tribe did not hand Lu An over to them and continued to hide in the deep sea, even the Dragons would be helpless.
The Nether Ghost Tribe had never been a trustworthy race. The eight Dragon Kings did not dare to make the decision to let the Nether Ghost Tribe enter.
At this moment, the eight Dragon Kings were gathered above the sea in the center of the Sacred Fire Plains. The heat here did not put much pressure on them, but the eight Dragon Kings had very serious expressions. After a long time, the Azure Dragon King spoke first. He looked at the other Dragon Kings and said, "Under what circumstances should we ask the Nether Ghost Tribe for help?"
The seven Dragon Kings trembled. That's right. They had to think of a deadline to help them make a decision. After a while, the eight Dragon Kings said the deadline in their hearts one after another. In the end, they made a compromise.
"Alright, then ten days it is." The eight Dragon Kings said, "After ten days, if there is still no news of Lu An, we will invite the Nether Ghost Tribe to come and see if they have the strength to enter the Sacred Fire Plains."
The other seven Dragon Kings nodded in agreement. Just as the eight Dragon Kings were discussing above the sea, there was a space more than 30,000 feet high at a depth of 65,000 feet under the sea.
At this moment, a red light body that was 2,000 feet high like the scorching sun was burning above. On the ground, a figure was sitting on a stone chair and resting.
It was the stone man.
He was bored to death sitting on the stone chair. He could not do anything because he was just a stone man. There was nothing here. The only thing he could do was to walk back and forth. He might as well sit.
After tens of thousands of years, he was already used to such a life. His state of mind was so strong that it did not matter even if he was awake for tens of thousands of years. However, he was also very clear that that space was a huge test for people.
There were many people who entered that space. All of them were great geniuses. However, there were very few people who could walk out of that space. The stone man only told Lu An that choosing this method would be very dangerous. However, he did not say that the survival rate was less than one percent.
He did not know if that guy's disciple had the ability to walk out of that space.
The stone man was very curious. However, thinking that this young man had such a pair of eyes, the chances of him coming out should be much higher than others.
However, this kind of thing was hard to say.
The reason why geniuses were called geniuses was because they had not become a true expert. He would definitely not call that guy a genius because genius was not enough to describe that guy's existence and strength. If this young man could successfully walk out of that space, then he could probably take away the title of genius and be called an expert.

Four days later, in the dark space.
After confirming that this was a real space and changing the direction of his thoughts, a full four days had passed. In these four days, Lu An tried to find clues from this dark space through the perception of his body and the observation of his eyes. However, the same thing as before was that even if he changed the direction, he could not find anything.
Although Lu An could keep his state of mind calm, it did not mean that he did not need to stop to summarize and think. This was what he was doing at this moment. No matter what he did, he could not see or sense anything. Then, where did the problem come from?
After thinking about it repeatedly, Lu An decided to start from the root. Because after so long of cultivation and comprehension, he knew that if he wanted to understand something, he usually had to start from the root.
The root of this space was this space itself.
Why did this space exist?
What was this space supported by?
Because he could not use all the power in his body, Lu An could not use the power of space. Even so, since he could move his hands and feet in this space, it meant that this space did exist. And as long as this space existed, it meant that it was supported by the power of the real space. The strength and stability of the power of space were often closely related to the power that existed in the real world. In addition, this space could strip away his power, which meant that it was definitely not as empty as it seemed.
In this space, there must be some kind of substance.
Then, what kind of substance would cause such a situation to occur? Lu An knew very well that this must be a substance that he had never understood or even imagined. To be able to strip away the limit of power in his blood, it meant that the level of power that this substance carried was not inferior to his limit of power.
The study of power was not a torment for Lu An. Instead, it was something that he was very interested in. The more he traced the source of the power, the more it would arouse his interest, even if he did not have all kinds of burdens and responsibilities.
Not only that, in Lu An's opinion, the more he traced the source of the power, the closer it would be to the 'spirit' he was looking for. He firmly believed in his path. Even if no one had ever succeeded, he did not want to go back.
