Two months later.
At the bottom of the vast and peaceful purple lake, at a depth of ninety feet, it was pitch black without a trace of light.
And in this darkness, there was a medium-sized ice cage, and inside the ice cage, Lu An was cultivating with his eyes closed.
This one month of cultivation was extremely difficult for him, far more difficult than when he was a Level 1 Heavenly Master.
There was no other reason than that cultivating under such pressure would severely exhaust one's physical strength and fatigue. At the beginning, he was unable to concentrate and cultivate at a depth of sixty feet. Now, he could concentrate and cultivate for two hours. Finally, he got used to it a little and increased the depth. Every step Lu An took was torturous. And in these two months, the number of times he returned to the City Lord's Mansion could be counted with two hands.
Lu An's perseverance left even Beauty Yang speechless. What surprised her was not Lu An's physical strength, but Lu An's willpower. One had to know that a person's physical strength was limited, and so was their mental endurance. In a pitch-black and almost silent situation, it was very difficult for a person to endure. Even if a Heavenly Master could withstand the pressure of a depth of sixty feet, their mental endurance would not last more than fifteen minutes before they went crazy!
However, Lu An went in for at least a day. Not to mention a Level 2 Heavenly Master, even a Level 4 Heavenly Master might not be able to withstand such mental endurance.
In the end, it was proven that effort and reward were proportional. Originally, Lu An thought that he would need at least four months to become a Level 2 Heavenly Master, but he had successfully broken through in just two months. Just yesterday, he had successfully reached Level 2 Heavenly Master. Lu An, who felt that his strength had increased a lot, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, after cultivating for another day, Lu An realized that after reaching Level 2 Heavenly Master, the effect of such pressure on his cultivation seemed to have slowed down a lot, as if he had suddenly adapted a lot. However, ninety feet was his current limit. If he went any deeper, he could not guarantee his safety.
Even here, he had been attacked by Level 3 Mystical Beasts several times in these two months. Each time, he had to rely on the Realm of Demon Gods to escape. If he encountered a Tier 4 Mystic Beast, he might not even have the time to call out to Beauty Yang.
After cultivating until noon, Lu An felt that there was almost no progress. He stood up from the bottom of the lake and jumped out of the ice cage. His body rose up like an arrow in the pitch-black lake, crossing the distance of ninety feet in less than ten breaths of time. Then, he leaped out from the surface of the lake with a loud boom!
Appearing under the blue sky again, Lu An took a deep breath and ran to the lakeside while stepping on the surface of the lake. Not far from the shore, there was a simple wooden house, which was Lu An's residence.
Dragging his soaked body, Lu An walked into the wooden house, his body dripping wet. He took out a set of clean clothes from his ring and changed into them. After changing, he couldn't help but stretch his body. After thinking about it, he felt that he should also make a trip back to the City Lord's Mansion.
This time, he had been out for more than half a month. Although Beauty Yang had come to see him once, he should go back and greet her. Moreover, if he didn't go back, Yang Mu would probably be very dissatisfied with him.
Thinking of Yang Mu, Lu An couldn't help but smile bitterly. He didn't know why, but Yang Mu really liked to be with him. In the beginning, when he wanted to come to the Purple Lake to cultivate, Yang Mu almost followed him. If it wasn't for the boredom in the Purple Lake, coupled with Beauty Yang stopping him, Yang Mu would probably really cultivate with him.
After tidying himself up, Lu An quickly set off and rushed towards the City Lord's Mansion.
After half an hour.
When Lu An appeared in the City Lord's Mansion, it was only a quarter to nine in the morning. Beauty Yang was in the main hall dealing with various matters. Lu An stood outside the main hall. Seeing Beauty Yang holding a meeting with everyone, he didn't disturb her and prepared to look for Lu An in the afternoon.
However, Lu An's appearance naturally wouldn't escape Beauty Yang's eyes. She suddenly opened her mouth and said to Lu An who was about to leave, "Lu An, come in for a moment!"
Hearing this, Lu An was slightly startled. He didn't know why Beauty Yang would call out to him, but he still walked into the main hall.
"Sit." Beauty Yang pointed to a seat on her right and said.
This seat was obviously very important. Calling out Lu An to sit made the surrounding people startled. Lu An also smiled bitterly in his heart, but he didn't say anything. He walked over and sat down.
When everyone saw Lu An sit down, the surprise in their hearts didn't decrease. Although Lu An rarely appeared in these two months, they were astute. They had long discovered that the City Lord and this young man seemed to have a close relationship. Lu An didn't hide the fact that he lived in the pavilion, which made everyone speculate about Lu An's identity.
"You came at the right time. I was just about to announce something." Beauty Yang glanced at Lu An, then looked at the crowd and said, "This morning, the envoy of the Shang Qi Kingdom just came here. He said that they are going to hold a new King's ascension ceremony. He invited us to participate and enjoy the prosperity."
When these words came out, everyone was stunned. Following that, their eyes were filled with shock!
The Shang Qi Kingdom was going to have a new King?
At the side, Lu An was also clearly startled. This was because he remembered that the First Prince during the forest competition was the First Prince of the Shang Qi Kingdom. Could it be that the First Prince was going to become the King?
"The throne will naturally be passed to the First Prince." Beauty Yang said calmly, as if she said it specifically for Lu An, "This time, it is indeed a big matter for the Shang Qi Kingdom. As our neighbor, the Shang Qi Kingdom naturally has to go. Moreover, we have to give them enough respect. "
Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. Indeed, as a neighbor, the Shang Qi Kingdom and the Purple Lake City had been peaceful all these years. Moreover, they had frequent trade relations. Such a big matter like the succession of the King naturally had to be taken seriously.
Naturally, important people had to be sent.
"I won't go." Beauty Yang looked at everyone and directly announced, "So, I'm going to send my daughter. She is the only princess of the Purple Lake City. Going is already giving them a lot of face. "
Hearing this, everyone smiled bitterly. This was because they didn't dare to refute the City Lord's decision. However, the City Lord's cold temperament was something that the neighboring countries knew. Even if the City Lord didn't go, the Shang Qi Kingdom would understand.
"But, it's not good for Princess Guang to go alone." Someone said with some hesitation, "Although the Princess's status is enough, it's still a bit too lonely for her to go alone. We should have a luxurious ceremonial team accompanied by some executives to show the importance and strength of our Purple Lake City. "
"Of course." Beauty Yang said, "I'll leave the ceremonial team to you. The Shang Qi Kingdom's ceremony will be in a week and the team will depart in two days."
"Yes, City Lord." Hearing this, that person hurriedly said.
Following this, Beauty Yang turned to Lu An and said, "I remember that you have a relationship with the upcoming King of the Shang Qi Kingdom, right?"
Hearing this, Lu An nodded and said, "It can't be considered a relationship. When we were in the forest, I teamed up with him."
"Then this kind of relationship can't be considered shallow. Moreover, you saved his life." Beauty Yang said, "This time, you should accompany Mu Er to the Shang Qi Kingdom. She's too lonely to go alone. Moreover, if she's alone, she definitely won't be willing to go."
Hearing Beauty Yang's words, Lu An was suddenly startled. Only then did he realize that Beauty Yang called him into the main hall for this matter. However, this matter would definitely not be short and would delay him for a few days so he couldn't cultivate. However, just when Lu An was about to refuse, he heard a voice.
"You've been cultivating for two months. It's time for you to rest for a few days." A voice passed into Lu An's ears and said softly, "Moreover, if you don't accompany Mu Er, she will definitely keep bothering you."
Lu An was startled and looked at Beauty Yang in astonishment. Obviously, Beauty Yang used some special method to pass her voice into his ears. Looking at Beauty Yang's serious look, Lu An couldn't help but bitterly smile.
Indeed, Yang Mu had gone to the wooden house countless times to look for him, but countless times she was in vain. It was said that her mood was very bad. If he didn't go, he was afraid that Yang Mu wouldn't let him go easily once she caught him.
After all, he had to pay a price for using her Purple Lake …
"Okay." Lu An took a light breath and said, "I'll accompany her."
