Early in the morning, the people from Sengoku left the inn. At this moment, the entire imperial capital was still in chaos, and the culprit of all this was preparing to leave.
Li had already left a step earlier than the rest of the Immortal Domain. She had always been a loner. Before she was controlled, she had always been a loner. She had promised Lu An that she would not be an assassin anymore, but Lu An did not know that even when she was an assassin, everyone she killed deserved to die.
On the way to the Immortal World Gate, Lu An had been wondering why she had told him her real name, and even why she wanted to be friends with him. He really could not think of any value to her as a friend. Moreover, they were so far apart that it was unknown whether they could meet again.
Or did she really just want to be friends with him?
Looking at Lu An, who was deep in thought, Yao could not help but ask, "What's wrong?"
Lu An was startled. He turned to look at Yao and said with a smile, "Nothing."
Lu An did not let himself think about it anymore. There was no need to think about things that he could not figure out. He did not think that Li was a bad person, or he would not have agreed to be friends with her.
At noon, everyone entered the Immortal World Gate in the forest. Everyone entered the Immortal World Gate, and after a few breaths, they returned to Sengoku.
This was Lu An's third time passing through the Immortal World Gate, so he naturally would not fall to the ground like the first time. At the Immortal World Gate, Yuan and Jun had been waiting for a long time. When they saw their daughter return safely, their faces were full of joy and excitement.
Following that, everyone went to the meeting place to summarize the results of this expedition. Because Yao and Lu An were on the expedition list, they were naturally there to listen to others summarize the experience. Yuan allowed his daughter to express her opinion, and everyone could say a few words. Even Lu An was allowed to say a few words. After all, he had the intention to take Lu An in before, and this time, it was Lu An who saved his daughter.
After waiting for the meeting to end, Lu An returned to his Third Northwestern Courtyard. Compared to other places, no one would come here, and it was especially quiet. Now, he didn't want to cultivate Immortal Qi or Immortal Techniques. Instead, he wanted to increase his cultivation level as quickly as possible.
The gap between Peak Level 1 and Level 2 Celestial Master was actually not that big. It was even smaller than the gap between Late Level 1 and Peak Level 1. This stage was not as simple as the accumulation of strength. It was also a breakthrough in one's consciousness and comprehension.
Apart from the Celestial Being to the Celestial Master level, every breakthrough required comprehension. This was also why most Level 1 Celestial Masters were stuck at Level 1, unable to reach Level 2 Celestial Master for their entire lives.
This was also the first time Lu An had experienced a breakthrough in his cultivation level. To be honest, he was a little nervous. However, compared to others, he had the experience of breaking through the Scorching Nine-Suns and the Wrath of the Ocean. Thus, he still had some experience with this breakthrough.
During this month, he didn't want to care about anything. He just wanted to shut himself in this courtyard.

One month later.
Just as he had thought a month ago, Lu An had indeed completely shut himself in the courtyard, not even taking a single step out.
Cultivating day and night, Lu An only slept for two hours every day. It had been a long time since he had devoted himself to cultivation like this. This was because there were many things that had been bothering him all this time.
During this month, even when Yao came to look for him, he had not left, let alone other matters in Sengoku. Over time, everyone had almost forgotten that there was such an outsider living in Sengoku. Life was back on track, and everyone was busy with their own things.
Reality proved that his hard work did not disappoint Lu An. After a month of hard work, he had successfully pushed his strength from Peak Level 1 to Level 2 Celestial Master. Now, he was only one step away from Level 2 Celestial Master.
It was truly one step away. As long as he took this step, he would completely enter the realm of Level 2 Celestial Master!
At this moment, in the wee hours of the morning.
The sky outside the window was dark. There was not even a trace of light. It would take at least two hours for the sun to rise. Just as everyone was sleeping soundly, Lu An was still awake. It could even be said that he was extremely awake.
At this moment, he was frowning as he sat cross-legged on the bed. His expression was solemn, as if he was facing a great enemy.
Now, he was trying his best to take this last step.
Although the two types of Fate Wheels were sealed, it did not mean that there were no Fate Wheels in his body. The power in his body was frantically mobilized. The huge pressure caused his entire body to turn red. The two types of Ice and Fire constantly surrounded him. Not only did they exist in his body, but they also existed in his sea of consciousness.
Ice and Fire, Yin and Yang. The two extreme types of attributes swam around Lu An's body. Other than the frown on his face, he did not feel any discomfort. A moment later, the two types of attributes suddenly stopped at his heart. Fire was on the left, and ice was on the right. They had completely stopped!
After this scene, Lu An's frown instantly became even more intense! His heartbeat started to speed up and slow down. His expression also became uncertain and irregular!
Lu An frowned and began to drive the two types of attributes in his heart to start moving. He could not let these two types of attributes stop at one side of his heart. The person in the black fog had said that Yin and Yang had to be intertwined. It was the same for Ice and Fire. If he let these two types of attributes occupy a corner of his heart, then his future cultivation would be extremely difficult.
Therefore, he began to drive the Ice and Fire to move, constantly changing their positions in his heart. He had to make sure that the two types of attributes did not conflict with each other in his body like before. Otherwise, it would be disadvantageous for him to break through to the second level of Taoist Master.
After hundreds of cycles, the two types of attributes in his heart were moving faster and faster. In the end, they were completely unimpeded and he had completely adapted to them. Feeling this feeling, Lu An frowned. Suddenly, he gathered all the Ice and Fire attributes in his body!
The two types of attributes in Lu An's body seemed to have been emptied in an instant and rushed to his heart! In less than ten breaths, there was no more strength in his body. It was completely confined in his heart!
In the past, Lu An would not have dared to do this at all, because it was very likely to damage his heart. In other words, he would be seriously injured. However, it was different now. He was under a bottleneck. He needed to squeeze out strength like this to improve his state!
All the strength in his body was gathered in his heart. The violent strength was out of Lu An's control at all. With all the strength gathered together, there was an urgent need for a huge vent. If there was no vent, it was very likely that his heart would explode!
Lu An frowned. He felt that his heart was beating slower and slower because of the huge strength. The heavy pressure made him feel suffocated. If he still could not break through, he would probably suffocate to death in half an incense's time.
Even if he released his strength, if he failed, it would be even more difficult for him to break through next time. The person in the black fog had said that it was best to succeed in one try. Otherwise, it would become more and more difficult.
With this thought in mind, Lu An frowned. He firmly suppressed the strength in his heart, not allowing any of it to escape. Along with the surge of strength, the burden on his heart became heavier and heavier.
Not only that, because of the instability of his heart, the Ice and Fire in his sea of consciousness also began to become violent. The two types of attributes in his sea of consciousness were churning like the sea, causing Lu An's sea of consciousness to become dizzy!
Lu An closed his eyes tightly. He would rather be seriously injured than fail. After a few breaths, because of his persistence, there was finally a slight change!
Kacha!
A sound suddenly sounded in Lu An's body, causing Lu An to be startled! Even he could not tell if this sound was coming from his sea of consciousness or from his body.
Following this sound, more and more sounds appeared. It was as if something was shattering! Along with this shattering sound, Lu An felt that the two types of attributes in his sea of consciousness and heart began to surge through his body again. This time, they were not under his control at all!
The strength surged through the broken gap, and the gap became bigger and bigger. Finally, with a loud crash, the sound and the strength lost all restrictions and rushed to his limbs and bones in an instant!
Bang!
Lu An suddenly opened his eyes. Whether it was his sea of consciousness, his heart, or his entire body, there was an indescribable feeling of clarity!
The two types of attributes, Ice and Fire, were surging in his body. Compared to before, there was no obstruction at all this time. It was as if the road in his body had become several times wider, as if his body's endurance had become several times stronger!
Following this, Lu An's eyes surged with ecstasy!
