Yuxiu took out a green shield. It looked like jade, but it wasn't jade. It didn't seem powerful, but the water pillars were blocked. They couldn't penetrate the water pillars, and they really did open a hole in the water prison.
Mo Rongzhan grabbed Quan Xian by the collar and jumped into the Heavenly Ice Water Prison.
As soon as the two entered, Yuxiu's jade shield was immediately bounced off by the water pillars.
"Ahhh, I actually came in!" Quan Xian shouted excitedly. He couldn't come in even if he wanted to in the past. He didn't expect an outsider to bring him in.
Mo Rongzhan glanced at Yuxiu, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine. Go find them quickly." Yuxiu said, "I'll find the artifact of the Heavenly Ice Water Prison in the surroundings."
As long as he found the artifact and destroyed it, this water prison would be useless.
Mo Rongzhan confirmed that Yuxiu wasn't injured and brought Quan Xian to the ice pagoda. It looked like an ice pagoda from the outside, but the inside was a different world. The courtyard was filled with strange flowers and plants, like a paradise.
"Who is it?" A gentle and deep voice came from the house, followed by the sound of footsteps. A tall middle-aged man slowly walked out. The man was as gentle as jade, and he was only wearing casual clothes, but he had the demeanor of an immortal.
Mo Rongzhan stood in place. He already knew who the middle-aged man was when he spoke.
It was indeed the person he was looking for!
"Foster father!" Mo Rongzhan said in a low voice and took a few steps forward. He couldn't hide the shock in his eyes. Why was Empyrean Shitian here?
Shitian … Shitian …
What was going on?
"Zhan 'er?" Empyrean Shitian was even more shocked. He then shook his head and sighed, "Since you found this place, something must have happened outside."
"Foster father, where's foster mother?" Mo Rongzhan walked over, "Why are you imprisoned here?"
Worry appeared in Empyrean Shitian's eyes, "It's a long story. Sit down first. Your foster mother is in seclusion and should come out in two days."
Mo Rongzhan was full of doubts. With the abilities of these two Empyrean Shitian, it was easy for them to leave the Heavenly Ice Water Prison. Why were they here?
"Foster father, have you been here all these years?" Mo Rongzhan asked with a frown.
"How many years have passed?" Empyrean Shitian asked. "I went into seclusion a few times, so I don't know how long it has been."
Quan Xian looked around in amazement. "So it's so beautiful inside. Sister, why didn't you let me in? You should let me stay in such a beautiful place."
Empyrean Shitian looked at Quan Xian. "This is … a merman?"
"Foster Father!" Mo Rongzhan felt that Empyrean Shitian didn't want to tell him the truth and was intentionally diverting his attention.
"Your adoptive mother and I have both lost our cultivations," Thearch Shitian said in a low voice. "It's not that we don't want to leave, it's that we can't leave at all."
How could this be? They were Venerable Sovereigns from the Upper God Continent. Unless they were the Ultimate Gods from the Ninth Heaven, even a Divine God would not be a match for them.
Even if the mermaid was powerful, how could she imprison them in here?
"A hundred years ago, we discovered something strange in the Desolate Hell. I reported this matter to the Divine God, and the Divine God personally came to the Desolate Hell and told me that there was nothing strange. It was just a demonic beast breaking through to the sixth rank that triggered the heavenly thunder. I believed it and didn't pay much attention to it. A few years later, when I was patrolling the three continents, I discovered the aura of the great demonic beast Denglong in the Desolate Hell. At that time, the Divine God was in seclusion, so I came with Linglong and met Ah Bu …" Empyrean Shitian became silent as sorrow flashed across his face.
Mo Rongzhan was astonished when he saw this. Could it be that Empyrean Shitian knew Ah Bu in the past?
"Ah Bu saved us," Empyrean Shitian said in a low voice. Exalted Thearch Shitian said in a low voice, "That was a long time ago. At that time, I had just started cultivating and was nothing more than a youth. I was just an insignificant martial artist in the Xuantian Continent. One time, I fell into the sea while cultivating in a secret realm. It was Ah Bu who saved me and taught me cultivation techniques …"
"She was originally a subordinate of Wen Tian, a general who attacked the God Race." Empyrean Shitian continued, "She has a bit of a relationship with the God Race."
Mo Rongzhan said, "She is the child of the God Race and the mermaid, the half-demon, half-god mermaid?"
Empyrean Shitian nodded gently. "Yes, of all the mermaids, she was the only one who survived and was rescued by Wen Tian. Later, she became Wen Tian's subordinate and attacked the God Race on his behalf, wanting to avenge her clan. However, until now, the God Race still doesn't know that the mermaid they wanted to kill is still alive."
Mo Rongzhan recalled the timid little girl beside Huang Fuchen. He really couldn't associate her with the great demonic beast.
Among the top three subordinates of Wen Tian, there was a woman among them, but no one knew that she was the mermaid.
"She … wasn't she sealed just like Wen Tian?" Mo Rongzhan asked sourly.
Empyrean Shitian glanced at Mo Rongzhan. "Wen Tian was originally a Flying Serpent. A snake cultivates for a thousand years and becomes a Divine Dragon after passing the Heavenly Tribulation. Wen Tian passed the Heavenly Tribulation and was able to fly in all directions. However, during the tribulation, the White Dragon King prevented Wen Tian from ascending, which led to Wen Tian's enmity with the Dragon Race. Wen Tian's body and soul were destroyed, and the other great demonic beasts didn't have a leader. The God Race attacked and defeated them one by one. The White Crag Mountain of the Desolate Hell was sealed with the aura of a true dragon. At that time, I had already cultivated to the peak of the Grandmaster realm. Although I didn't participate in the battle, I heard some news. Ah Bu was injured and fled to the Xuantian Continent, where I just happened to meet her …"
"You saved her from being sealed?" Mo Rongzhan asked in a low voice.
"I couldn't have saved her with my strength. The God Race would have found her very soon. If they knew that I saved her, my cultivation would have been destroyed," Empyrean Shitian hurriedly cried out. His face and ears were red, and his eyes were filled with shame. "She didn't want me to help her either. She just gave me a fish scale and asked me to throw it into the sea after she was sealed. After that, I would have repaid her kindness."
Mo Rongzhan said in a low voice, "It was because of this fish scale that she woke up in the Desolate Hell … and even helped the other great demonic beasts break free from the seal."
Empyrean Shitian smiled bitterly. "At that time, I just wanted to cut off all relations with her and repay her kindness. Otherwise, I would definitely have a heart devil in my cultivation."
"All the great demonic beasts in the Desolate Hell were released by her, and she gave herself the name Shitian?" Mo Rongzhan didn't understand how the mermaid came up with this name. Was it because of Empyrean Shitian?
No wonder all the great demonic beasts in the Desolate Hell were willing to listen to Shitian's rule. If it wasn't for her, the other great demonic beasts would still be sealed.
"She said that the reason she could wake up was because of me. She wanted to kill all the God Race in the world …" Empyrean Shitian said helplessly. "The name she gave herself was just a child's play."
"Then why did she lock you here?" Mo Rongzhan asked. Since it was Empyrean Shitian who helped her, why did she treat them like this?
