Five days later, on the surface of the Sacred Fire Plains.
Rumble!!!
A huge wave suddenly erupted on the surface of the sea. Twelve black figures flew out of the sea and into the sky. They were from the Nether Ghost Race.
In the sky, the eight Dragon Kings were still there. They naturally saw the Nether Ghost Race coming out, but there was no anticipation in their eyes.
They had no choice. In the past five days, the Nether Ghost Race had come out a few times, but they had found nothing each time. The Dragons had even lost hope in the Nether Ghost Race and wanted to chase them away.
Although the Nether Ghost Race did not receive any information, they had indeed tried their best to find him. There was no doubt about this. However, the temperature of the Sacred Fire Plains was terrifying to an unimaginable extent. Even though they had special powers and had successfully reached a depth of 30,000 feet, they did not dare to get close to the terrifying flames. Instead, they tried their best to move between the flames that were hundreds of thousands of feet apart. Even so, the consumption of energy in their bodies was huge.
They did not even dare to enter from the sky above the center of the Sacred Fire Plains. Instead, they came to the edge of the Sacred Fire Plains before descending. This was because the density of the flames there was less than the center. Every time they entered the bottom of the sea, they could only last for 15 minutes at most before having to leave. Otherwise, their lives would be in danger. Furthermore, they could only move between the flames and did not dare to get close to the flames. This greatly limited their range of movement. At the same time, their range of perception was also greatly reduced. After all, under such heat, their perception would immediately be burned by the heat if it was too far away from their bodies.
The Dragons were very dissatisfied with the performance of the Nether Ghost Race. The Nether Ghost Race had also been searching with all their might for the past five days. They were also very unhappy with the Dragons. However, they did not dare to say anything. They could only feel vexed in their hearts and think about where Lu An was.
In 15 minutes, with their strength of the ninth rank, the range of their search was very large. In five days, the twelve ninth rank Nether Ghosts had passed through the Sacred Fire Plains countless times. Even though they could not get close to the flames, they could still see the flames. None of them had seen Lu An's figure.
With Lu An's strength, it was impossible for him to discover their existence in advance and hide. The biggest possibility was that Lu An was not here at all.
Lu An could not be in the flames, right?
At this moment, the eight Dragon Kings in the sky asked Nether Ghost King in a deep voice, "Where is he? Have you found him? "
King You Gui shuddered and looked at the eight Dragon Kings. The other party's indifferent tone made it very uncomfortable. After searching for five days, it had at least confirmed that Lu An was not among them. Not wanting to waste any more energy, it said directly, "We have searched the entire undersea plain, but there is nothing at all!"
Search the entire seabed?
There was only coldness in the eyes of the eight Dragon Kings because they did not believe that the Nether Ghost Clan had the ability to do so. In the eyes of the eight dragon kings, the temperature down below was so high that it was already good enough that the Nether Ghost Tribe could search the entire perimeter. As expected, finding the Nether Ghost Tribe was useless.
Looking at the looks of distrust in the eyes of the eight Dragons, the Ghost King felt wronged for the first time. However, he would not explain himself, nor would he fight with the dragons. He said, "Since we can't find him, we won't disturb you any longer. Goodbye!"
Immediately, You Gui King led the other eleven of his race and flew off into the distance. The eight Dragon Kings did not stop them. In fact, they were relieved that the Nether Ghost Tribe had left. They did not know why, but they did not like the Nether Ghost Tribe at all.
After the Nether Ghost Tribe left, it meant that the situation had returned to how it was before. They could only wait outside for Lu An to appear. Twenty-two days had passed since they received the news. In fact, even the eight Dragon Kings could not help but wonder if Lu An was really not among them.
They had already asked the Hidden Heaven Sect to find out if Lu An had returned from the Alliance of Sects. However, after the failure of the previous mission, the Alliance of Sects had found more than half of the spies left behind by the Hidden Heaven Sect. Furthermore, they were all high-ranking members. Now, the remaining spies were some ordinary elders and even disciples. Their ability to gather information was very weak.
But no matter what, at least the Dragon Clan would wait.
They would wait no matter where they were. For the sake of the Imperial Dragon Bone, they would definitely not leave before they received confirmation of Lu An's whereabouts.

In a dark space.
Lu An's body was still fixed in the space and could not move. At this moment, his eyes were closed and his expression was very peaceful. It was as if he was sleeping. His breathing was very stable and he was obviously in the most relaxed state. His body did not have any realm or defense. He did not even have an ounce of strength.
Was Lu An really asleep?
Of course not.
Although his body was relaxed, his sea of consciousness was sensing and analyzing everything to the best of its ability. Five days ago, the senses in his body had completely disappeared. It was still the same for the past five days. However, Lu An's body and sea of consciousness were so peaceful. This meant that he was not in a hurry at all.
The reason why he was not in a hurry came from his senses.
His senses were the powers that did not have any senses.
Lu An integrated his understanding of "spirits" into his senses. However, he did not copy it mechanically. This was because he was very clear that his understanding of "spirits" was very one-sided and very weak. He was still very far away from the true meaning of "spirits". His understanding of this dark world and his understanding of "spirits" stimulated each other and changed at the same time.
As long as the world existed, there must be power, even if it was a power of nothingness. This was the conclusion that Lu An was now certain of.
This sentence was reversed. If there was no power, then the world would not exist. Then he should not exist here. Therefore, there must be power here. It was just that he had not completely grasped it.
Not completely grasped meant that … he had already begun to grasp it, even if it was just a little bit.
Lu An's body was still surrounded by darkness.
The power in the darkness.
In reality, Lu An's ability to perceive this power was greatly related to his eyes. The eyes represented the sea of consciousness. Whether it was his sea of consciousness, the origin of the sea of consciousness, or the origin of the consciousness, after cultivating at the Sky-Reaching Peak, they had all undergone a qualitative leap. However, this leap had not been displayed because of the limitations of Lu An's strength. However, in this special dark world, in a situation where the body's power was deprived and the consciousness took the lead, this qualitative leap began to appear.
Of course, the consciousness's perception of the dark world was very small. More importantly, Lu An was willing to believe this. Otherwise, this little bit of perception would definitely be overlooked. It was also because of this that Lu An was so relaxed, and was able to grasp this special feeling.
The perception of the surrounding environment, to put it bluntly, was when material power touched the body. Whether it was inside or outside the body, it passed through the body's meridians and consciousness to the sea of consciousness. After the sea of consciousness reacted to it, one could truly experience the feeling of the outside world. Because of this, sometimes it was not that there was nothing touching the body, but even if it touched the body, it could not cause the consciousness in the meridians or the consciousness in the sea of consciousness to react to it.
Simply put, when something touched the body, the consciousness was not qualified to perceive it. This depended on the realm of the consciousness. After going through the Sky-Reaching Peak, Lu An already had the qualifications to enter this realm, even if it was only the most basic stage.
First, one had to perceive the existence of material power. Only then could it be possible to make the body react to the material power, and finally grasp this power for one's own use. Now Lu An had only completed the first step of the three steps of strength. He could perceive the power in the darkness touching his body, but to make his body react to this material power, he simply could not do it.
No matter how he raised his hands and feet, he could not control this power. It was like an ordinary person who could feel the existence of the wind, but it was impossible to control it.
Of course, Lu An was not an ordinary person. Even if the power in his bloodline disappeared, he was not an ordinary person in essence. He was a peak level eight Heavenly Master.
There were two ways to control a material power. One was to release one's own power to control it, and make it for one's own use. The other was to first absorb it into the body, and then release it for one's own use.
Lu An's body had no power, so there was only the second possibility left.
At this time, Lu An's eyes gradually opened. In the darkness, his eyes were darker than the darkness, and even seemed to absorb the darkness.
What he had to do now was to try to absorb this power into his body!
