Eight Ancient Continent, Flower Moon Sect Headquarters.
Five o 'clock in the evening. There was still fifteen minutes to the night. At this moment, in the Sect Master's courtyard, Li Tang was sitting in the study room, thinking, but the door was not closed.
She had spent five consecutive nights with Lu An. She had never been in contact with a man for such a long time, and it was continuous. After five nights of contact, her relationship with Lu An had become closer.
If they had been business partners before, they were now friends. Even the two male Vice Sect Masters had never stayed with her for such a long time. Before this, she did not have any male friends.
In the past, there were many men who wanted to get close to her, but after a few words, they would not agree. Perhaps … because Lu An would not take the initiative to talk about things outside of cultivation, she felt relieved.
However … after five nights of no progress, no matter how strong Li Tang's will was, it was impossible for her not to doubt herself. Now, her confidence had been shaken.
She knew that Lu An had been trying his best to help her every night. She could see that Lu An had reached the level of exhaustion, and he had to do it three times in one night. Repeated exhaustion would cause the pressure to increase exponentially. However, Lu An did not complain. He did not even show any expression of dissatisfaction. On the contrary, he had been encouraging her. Although avoiding harsh criticism reduced the pressure in her heart, she felt even more guilty towards Lu An.
However, she did not want to give up the power of the learning space … no matter what the reason was.
At this moment, a figure suddenly came in from outside, heading towards her study room. Soon, he arrived at the door.
It was none other than the Core Grand Elder, Li Yin.
"Sect Master." Li Yin bowed.
Li Yin's arrival pulled Li Tang back from her thoughts. She raised her head to look at the door and asked elegantly, "What's the matter?"
"Sect Master, we found a good underground resource. Has Sect Master gone to take a look?" Li Yin's voice was obviously excited. If Li Yin was in such a state, it meant that the resource was not bad, or even very good. Although the Core Grand Elder was a level eight Heavenly Master, his vision was not something a level eight Heavenly Master could compare to.
However, under Li Yin's expectant gaze, Li Tang did not have any reaction. She only answered calmly and said softly, "I know. Just do it."
"…"
Li Yin looked at the Sect Master in shock. Right now, it was a great thing for any sect to be able to find resources. It was the key to maintaining the sect's existence. She thought that the Sect Master would be very happy. How could he be so calm and even … absent-minded?
Li Yin knew that the Sect Master would be away for the next few nights and would only return when it was almost dawn. Li Yin had asked before, but the Sect Master didn't explain anything. Moreover, he became absent-minded every day, as if he was immersed in his own world and didn't care about anything else.
Leaving every night, coupled with his current state, could it be that … the Sect Master left every night for that?
Thinking of this, Li Yin's face turned red.
She couldn't imagine what the Sect Master would look like.
However, if one were to think back, it was she who personally went to the Ice Fire Union to inform Lu An a few days ago. At that time, the Sect Master had ordered her to deliver the message that 'Alliance Leader Lu had promised'. He did not explain the specific reason, so even she did not know what the Sect Master meant. Then, the Sect Master disappeared that night. Could it be that … the Sect Master was with Lu An?!
Li Yin's face turned even redder. Although Lu An was talented and was the most prestigious man in the sect, his future was immeasurable. However, Lu An had so many women. Could it be that the Sect Master still wanted to …
Li Tang, who was focused on thinking, looked up and found that Li Tang was still at the door. He asked, "Is there anything else?"
Li Yin's body shook and she quickly said, "Sect Master, there's nothing else!"
"Then you can leave." Li Tang didn't pay attention to Li Yin, nor did he look at Li Yin's expression. He said softly.
"Yes, Sect Master." Li Yin bowed and left quickly.
After leaving the Sect Master's courtyard, Li Yin only dared to take a deep breath after she was far away. She raised her hand to touch her cheek and found that her face had become hot.
In fact, the Sect Master had always been the role model of the Flower Moon Sect, especially the role model for the women. Everyone wanted to be like the Sect Master. If the Sect Master really was with Lu An … then all the people in the Flower Moon Sect would be heartbroken.

Eight Ancient Continent, Night.
Above the plains, under the stars, high up in the sky.
Two teleportation arrays appeared almost at the same time. Then, two figures walked out. It was Lu An and Li Tang.
Tonight was the sixth night that the two of them cultivated together. They had already reached a tacit understanding when they arrived. After seeing Lu An again, Li Tang's heart couldn't help but tighten.
To be honest, when Lu An was still a Level Eight Heavenly Master, Li Tang looked at Lu An as a junior. But now, especially after five nights of contact, Li Tang had completely treated him as an equal.
If not, then she might have looked at Lu An even more highly.
Although Lu An's strength was far from hers, the power that he grasped and the depth of his power far surpassed hers. This meant that Lu An's growth was only a matter of time. One day, he would leave her behind. And judging from Lu An's cultivation history, that day wouldn't be too far away.
Standing in the air at such a close distance, in Li Tang's heart, they were only a man and a woman.
"Miss Tang." Lu An cupped his hands and greeted politely.
"Young Master." Li Tang bowed slightly and asked softly, "Shall we start now?"
For the past few nights, they had started cultivating as soon as they came up without any delay. Li Tang had already gotten used to Lu An's straightforwardness and was prepared.
However …
"No." Lu An said seriously.
Li Tang was startled. She asked, "Then what should we do?"
"I've thought about it and realized that I've missed something important." Lu An said, "It's very likely that it's because of my mistake that Miss Tang can't comprehend it."
Hearing Lu An's words, Li Tang was even more surprised. She really wanted to obtain the power of space. She immediately focused and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Power." Lu An looked at Li Tang and said seriously, "I need Miss Tang to use up all the power in your body."
That's right. This was the thing that Lu An had missed!
He had only focused on what he had experienced at the top of the Spill Star Tower. However, he had completely ignored what happened when he reached the top of the Spill Star Tower!
He clearly remembered how troublesome it was for him to climb to the top of the Spill Star Tower. The Spill Star Tower was very tall, so tall that he couldn't see the end. There were circular stairs around the Spill Star Tower. However, in the end, he couldn't stand and had to use his hands to climb. During the process, he was constantly attacked. If he was careless, he would fall and shatter into pieces. The incomparable consumption, coupled with the fatal crisis, made Lu An feel like he was dead after climbing to the top of the Spill Star Tower. He didn't have any strength left.
Then, everything that happened after that happened.
Now that he thought about it, the power in his body at that time had really bottomed out and almost disappeared. It was because of this that he could sense more power. If the power in his body was abundant, other forces couldn't enter his body at all, let alone perceive them. It was like a bamboo basket full of things. When it was full, no matter how many things passed by or even fell from above, it wouldn't leave anything behind. Only when the bamboo basket was empty would one be able to perceive more power.
At that time, Lu An didn't just overdraw his power, he had also been seriously injured by several heavy blows. Being seriously injured meant that the bamboo basket had cracks in all directions. This way, the power that entered the bamboo basket would no longer be limited to one direction, but could enter from all directions.
Lu An took a deep breath and told her about what he had encountered in the Spill Star Clan. He didn't go into detail and didn't even mention the Spill Star Tower. Li Tang listened carefully. When Lu An finished, she completely understood what Lu An meant.
"Young Master, are you saying that I need to overdraw my power and even be seriously injured?" Li Tang asked with some hesitation.
She could overdraw her power, but if she was seriously injured … she couldn't just mutilate herself, right?
It would be too shameful to mutilate herself. However, if she didn't mutilate herself, she would have to let Lu An do it. She naturally wasn't afraid of getting injured after cultivating to this realm, but this was too difficult to accept.
"No." Lu An naturally thought about this problem and simply said, "Being seriously injured can only increase the effect by a little, but it won't be too big and won't affect the effect. Miss Tang, you can just overdraw your power. There's no need to be seriously injured. "
