A full six months, half a year.
During these six months, Lu An spent all his time at the bottom of the lake except for the things he needed to do. When he was hungry, he would catch fish to eat. When he was thirsty, he would drink the lake water. Just like that, he never left the purple lake. It could be said that he cultivated day and night.
During this period, Beauty Yang came to the purple lake to see him many times. He also knew that Beauty Yang was coming, but the two of them rarely met. During this half a year, Lu An only met Beauty Yang three times. Other than that, he did not meet anyone else.
And this half a year of hard work also represented a pure harvest. When Lu An entered the lake six months ago, he was a mid-stage Level 4. Now, he was already at the peak of Level 4.
Not only that, but just three months ago, he had already celebrated his fifteenth birthday at the bottom of the lake. In other words, he was now a fifteen-year-old young man.
In the endless darkness, Lu An slowly opened his eyes. His deep eyes seemed to be darker than the surrounding darkness. Lu An moved and slowly stood up from the bottom of the lake. When he opened his eyes, he looked to his right as if he could see something through the surrounding darkness.
Rumble …
The flow of the surrounding lake water was very dull and difficult to detect. Lu An looked to his right calmly, as if waiting for something to descend.
Whoosh!!
Suddenly, the flow of the lake water became very violent. The terrifying force directly lifted all the rocks and sand at the bottom of the lake. In the darkness, Lu An immediately stretched out his hands and stood firmly on his feet. He stretched out his hands to the right!
Bang!
A muffled sound exploded at the bottom of the lake. Lu An's feet that had stepped into the bottom of the lake were forcefully pushed back more than ten feet. At the same time, his hands grabbed onto something hard. It was impossible to see clearly in the darkness.
Although his body was pushed back, Lu An did not suffer any injuries. After he stood firm, he frowned and used all his strength. Suddenly, a terrifying airflow exploded at the bottom of the lake. The surrounding rocks were all destroyed by the airflow!
With a burst of strength, Lu An's outstretched hands grabbed the huge object and began to spin it violently!
In the beginning, it took him three breaths' worth of time to spin once. Now, he could spin tens of times in one breath's time. At the bottom of the 500-zhang-deep lake, a massive vortex was slowly forming. The sound of the surging currents grew louder and louder. At the same time, painful roars could be heard from the bottom of the lake.
The sound was sharp and tragic, and a huge amount of blood gushed out from where Lu An's hands were grabbing, like a waterfall pouring down, completely soaking the surrounding lake water.
When its speed reached its peak, Lu An quickly released his grip and flung the huge thing away. Muffled and loud rumbling noises came from afar. Lu An knew that there was a small hill about a thousand feet away, and it must have been smashed into pieces by this thing.
Following that, Lu An leaped up and flew upwards at lightning speed. He had already cultivated to the peak of the fourth level here, and had successfully touched the barrier to the fifth level. There was no need for him to continue accumulating here. Furthermore, breaking through to the fifth level was a very careful process. The purple lake was full of danger, and it was not a good place to break through.
In the past six months, he had already lost count of how many strange beasts he had been attacked by, especially in the darkness. If not for his good mentality, he would have gone crazy long ago. Even so, he felt that his mentality had improved a lot in the past six months.
Lu An flew towards the surface of the lake. Behind him, the huge thing from earlier was obviously unwilling to let him go. As if it wanted to take revenge, it roared and chased after him from the bottom of the lake. One in front and one behind, one small and one big, they chased after each other in the lake. Lu An's speed was not slower than the thing below. Even in the water, it was difficult for the other party to catch up to him.
However, the thing below did not give up. The 500-zhang-long distance was quickly closed, and Lu An was soon less than 200 feet away from the surface of the lake. At such a depth, he could already see light. Especially after staying in the darkness for a long time, Lu An's eyes had become more sensitive to light.
Lu An did not look at what was chasing after him. Instead, he suddenly burst out with all his strength and rushed towards the surface of the lake.
Bang!
On the quiet surface of the lake, a huge explosion suddenly sounded, and the waves on the surface of the water exploded more than 100 feet high. In the waves, Lu An's figure soared into the sky, and above the waves, he reached a height of nearly 300 feet.
Rumble!
Another explosion sounded, and this explosion was many times louder than the previous one! The huge waves were a hundred feet wide, and in the terrifying waves, a bloody mouth opened towards Lu An!
This was a peak of the fourth level strange beast, and it was an incomparably huge fish. However, this fish was extremely terrifying. When it opened its mouth, it was twice as wide as its body, reaching a width of 100 feet! The teeth were 30 feet long, and coupled with the astonishing biting force, it could probably kill Lu An in an instant!
At this moment, Lu An finally lowered his head and looked down. Looking at such a terrifying strange beast, there was no panic in his eyes, because he already knew the shape of this strange beast. Seeing the bloody mouth coming towards him, he did not escape. Instead, he watched as the huge mouth came to his side, surrounded him, and then fiercely closed.
Bang!
The teeth closed and made a loud sound, but Lu An was unharmed. He directly avoided the teeth, and at the same time, stretched out his hands. Terrifying cold air erupted from his hands, and with tough icicles, he ruthlessly pierced into the huge teeth!
"Roar!!!"
Intense pain instantly spread throughout the giant fish's body, and it let out a shocking scream. However, Lu An did not stop there. Instead, he grabbed the icicles and the giant fish's teeth, and swung the giant fish's body into the air. He fiercely spun the giant fish several times in the air, and then fiercely attacked. The giant fish was completely out of control in the air, and was directly thrown out!
Rumble …
The giant fish fiercely smashed on the surface of the lake a hundred feet away, making a deafening sound, as if the entire lake was shaking. After this giant fish knew how powerful Lu An was, it did not dare to attack again. It turned around and directly dived into the lake to escape. Lu An did not chase after it, but landed on the surface of the lake, and quickly ran towards the lake in the distance.
For half a year, Lu An did not ask about the war, and Beauty Yang did not say a word to him. Although the war was usually long, but for so long, he did not ask about it, and pushed these things to Beauty Yang and Yang Mu, Lu An did feel very apologetic in his heart.
After changing into a clean set of clothes, Lu An went straight to the City Lord's Mansion. After summoning Beauty Yang with his Divine Sense, Beauty Yang sized up Lu An, and then nodded with satisfaction.
Lu An's strength had improved, and to her, it meant that she did not follow the wrong person.
"This servant greets master." Beauty Yang knelt down and saluted.
Lu An nodded and motioned for Beauty Yang to get up, and asked, "How is the war now?"
"It's about the same as before, but the four countries' defense lines have retreated a lot." Beauty Yang said calmly, "About a quarter of each country's territory has been occupied. Even if the enemy's Level 7 Heavenly Master and I do not take action, our other strength is not enough."
Hearing this, Lu An frowned. Although Beauty Yang's tone did not sound important, the fall of so much territory was already a very big matter. Every country lost a quarter of their territory. If added together, it was equivalent to a country completely falling in this half a year.
"What about the Black Water Diamond Pill?" Lu An asked again, "Did you buy it?"
"No." Beauty Yang shook her head and said, "It's the same problem. I don't have enough things to exchange with others, but I have already bought the remaining two materials."
After hearing the answer, Lu An was originally a little disappointed. However, after hearing that the materials had been bought, his eyes lit up. Since there were materials, there was still hope. He said, "In that case, I will try to refine this Black Water Diamond Pill as soon as possible."
"En." Beauty Yang nodded and said, "But I suggest that master break through to Level 5 Heavenly Master first. Becoming a Level 5 Heavenly Master will not only increase your ability to protect yourself, but you will also be able to refine pills much faster. "
"Okay." Lu An agreed. After thinking for a while, he asked, "By the way, has there been any news from the Revered Heaven Sect in the past few months?"
"Fortunately, it's been calm and there hasn't been much movement." Beauty Yang replied, "Until now, there has been no news of the Revered Heaven Sect officially sending people to participate in the war. Perhaps the enemy feels that the Revered Heaven Sect does not need to take action to win this war."
Hearing this, Lu An nodded slightly, but his brows were knitted tightly. He did not know why, but he had a feeling that the enemy wanted to slowly devour the four countries like this. They did not launch a large-scale attack, but devoured the territory bit by bit. This way, not only could they invade the territory, but they could also let Beauty Yang accept the current situation bit by bit. This way, a war would not suddenly break out and Beauty Yang would not be forced to take action.
Just as Lu An was deep in thought, Beauty Yang suddenly thought of something and said to Lu An, "By the way, a week ago, I received information that the Revered Heaven Sect will be holding a meeting in a month. It seems to be to celebrate the 350 years of the Revered Heaven Sect. It is said that the Revered Heaven Sect has invited many big shots. It is a grand meeting. "
Big shots?
Lu An was startled and immediately caught the main point in Beauty Yang's words. He turned to look at Beauty Yang and asked with furrowed brows, "Do you mean that the enemy's leader will also be there?"
