According to Empyrean Shitian, he and the mermaid weren't mortal enemies. In fact, the two of them could barely be considered as old acquaintances. Ah Bu had helped Empyrean Shitian, and he had also saved her. This was a kind of fate, so why did Ah Bu still want to imprison him here? Moreover, it had been so many years.
"Only I know she's a mermaid, and … she was awakening the other big demon beasts. Venerable Emperor Linglong and I wanted to stop her, but we were bewitched by her singing … We were trapped here by her for a while. I don't know what she fed us, but we lost all our cultivation after we woke up," Venerable Emperor Shitian said.
Mo Rongzhan didn't know how powerful the mermaid was, but he didn't believe she could destroy the cultivation of two Venerable Emperors at the same time.
They were Venerable Emperors! Even if the mermaid used to be Wen Tian's subordinate, she couldn't be this strong.
"Haven't they recovered after so many years?" Mo Rongzhan asked in surprise. What could make the cultivation of Venerable Emperors disappear?
"No." Venerable Emperor Shitian shook his head. "Your adoptive mother has been in seclusion for many years, trying to remove the restriction, but it hasn't worked. We don't feel our cultivation disappear, but our cultivation methods don't have any spiritual power, and our Ocean of Qi is empty."
Without spiritual power, they couldn't use many cultivation methods at all, let alone use those magic treasures. They couldn't even get out of the Ice Sky Water Prison.
Mo Rongzhan remembered the demon beasts in the Dead Sea who had been bewitched by Quan Xian's singing. They had also lost all their demon power and were useless.
He looked at Quan Xian, who was squatting by the side. The young man avoided his gaze, looking a little guilty.
"How did you do it in the Dead Sea?" Mo Rongzhan walked to Quan Xian in a few steps, looking down at the young man who didn't dare to look at him. "Why did the demon power of those demon beasts disappear completely?"
Not long after entering the Dead Sea, Double-Headed Eagle had completely lost his demonic power, and he couldn't move at all in the boat. He and Yuxiu hadn't been affected, but why did the two Venerable Sovereigns lose their cultivation inexplicably here?
Quan Xian opened his blue eyes innocently. "I don't know. The Dead Sea has always been like this."
Mo Rongzhan picked him up and stared into his eyes. "If you don't want to be roasted fish …"
"You're such a bad person. How can you always threaten me!" Quan Xian cried out, feeling wronged. "There's a type of Sea Stone in the Dead Sea. It can absorb the demonic energy of those demonic beasts. Who asked sea demons to be weaker than other demonic beasts? The Sea Stone is there to protect us."
"The Sea Stone only affects demonic beasts. Why does it affect Venerable Sovereigns?" Mo Rongzhan asked in a deep voice.
Quan Xian blinked. "I don't know."
Mo Rongzhan revealed a cold smile. "Is that so?"
"I … I really don't know." Quan Xian was frightened by Mo Rongzhan's smile. Even his voice was trembling. "This is my first time here. I really don't know anything."
"Zhan 'er, there's no need to make things difficult for him. Ah Bu never lets anyone in, so it's normal that he doesn't know." Empyrean Shitian said. This youth looked innocent and tender, but he was already so frightened by Mo Rongzhan's words that he was about to cry.
Xian Quan looked gratefully at Empyrean Shitian. This was a good person.
Mo Rongzhan said calmly, "He knows the reason."
"I don't know." Xian Quan snorted. "I only know that the Sea Stone absorbs demonic energy, but there's no Sea Stone here. How would I know the reason?"
Empyrean Shitian asked, "Zhan 'er, is your Qi Sea affected?"
"No …" Mo Rongzhan circulated his Qi Sea. He was still full of spiritual energy. He waved his palm, and the tree in front of him collapsed. His cultivation wasn't affected in the slightest.
"So it has nothing to do with the Sea Stone," Empyrean Shitian said. "Ah Bu must have given us something to eat."
"No matter who it is, anyone who eats the Sea King Stone will lose their power …" Xian Quan muttered in a low voice.
Mo Rongzhan suddenly picked him up. "What did you say?"
Merfolk were kind by nature. If others treated him well, he would treat them even better. Since Empyrean Shitian was protecting him, he couldn't help but reveal the reason he knew. "I don't know if it's because I ate the Sea King Stone, but I've never seen one before. One has to go to the deepest part of the Dead Sea to look for it. I heard that only a small piece grows every few thousand years."
"I've heard of the Sea King Stone," Empyrean Shitian said. "It's condensed from the golden core of a dead sea monster. Let alone him, even I haven't seen one in so many years. Rumor has it that the Dragon Race and the God Race each have one, and it's more precious than anything else."
Mermaids lived in the deep sea, so it wouldn't be strange if she found the Sea King Stone.
In order to restrict him and Empyrean Linglong, it would be a waste to let them eat such a rare Sea King Stone.
Mo Rongzhan let go of Xian Quan. "How do we take out the Sea King Stone?"
"This …" Empyrean Shitian muttered. "I'm afraid it's not that easy. Zhan 'er, what happened outside?"
If nothing had happened, Emperor Mo wouldn't have found this place.
"The great demonic beasts went to the Human Continent and the Xuantian Continent, and the Ancient Blood Devil was resurrected. Only Wen Tian is missing." Mo Rongzhan said in a low voice, "The whereabouts of the Exalted God are unknown, and the Nine Heavens God Race doesn't care about what happened in the two continents. Yuxiu and I came to find Shitian to find out if she's Wen Tian. Only now did we know that she's the mermaid Ah Bu, and she's also in the Human Continent."
Moreover, she pretended to be a weak and timid child, deceiving Huangfu Chen.
Thinking about how An Ge had been lost ever since she went to China, Mo Rongzhan guessed that it must have something to do with Ah Bu.
Empyrean Shitian stood up in surprise. "The Ancient Blood Devil has been resurrected?"
"Yes, the demonic beasts are wreaking havoc in the Human Continent. Without the Blood Devil's control, I'm afraid …" Mo Rongzhan frowned. The ones protecting the Human Continent were actually the Blood Devil, but the God Race didn't care. It would be normal if Woo Sheng and the others occupied the Human Continent again in the future.
He was also somewhat displeased with the God Race's actions.
"Wen Tian can't come back." Empyrean Shitian shook his head. "The God Race must know this, so they didn't …"
"Foster father, this isn't a reason." Mo Rongzhan said coldly. "This isn't a reason for them to ignore the Human Continent."
Empyrean Shitian looked at Mo Rongzhan in surprise. He hadn't seen Emperor Mo for a long time, but he still called him by his childhood nickname. This child had always been cold, so when did he start to care about the mortals of the Human Continent?
In the past, he didn't even care about the matters of the Xuantian Continent.
"Zhan 'er, have you been in the Human Continent all these years?" Empyrean Shitian asked.
Mo Rongzhan nodded. "That's right. My wife and child are also in the Human Continent."
Wife and child? Empyrean Shitian was even more shocked. "When did you get married?"
"Foster father, I'll tell you about this in the future. Right now, we should think about how to leave this place." Mo Rongzhan said. The most important thing was to find a way to restore his and Empyrean Linglong's cultivation.
