The black brocade box calmed down in Mo Rongzhan's palm, as if it had a life of its own. It became docile all of a sudden, waiting for its master to open it.
What is this? Mo Rongzhan doubtfully thought. He gently opened the brocade box, and a familiar aura rushed out. A peach blossom shaped jade pendant flashed like flowing water, quietly lying inside the brocade box.
Jade pendant? Mo Rongzhan was taken aback. Back then, before falling into the Death Region, why did he give the jade pendant to the Eight Daos Ascendant Immortals? What was so valuable about the jade pendant?
His fingertip landed on the petal, and he immediately felt the power flowing within the jade pendant.
"What is this?" Mo Rongzhan asked in astonishment. He knew that this was not his own power, but why did it feel so familiar?
Eight Realms Celestial Immortal said, "I don't know. Only you know it best. You said it was something more important than yourself. It should have … something to do with Xiaoyao."
"You also know Little Yao?" Mo Rongzhan looked up at him. Everyone remembered Little Yao, but he had forgotten.
However, since Xiaoyao was Ye Zhen, it made no difference to him.
"Why should I give this to you?" Mo Rongzhan asked. He still had some doubts in his heart.
The Eight Paths Exalted Immortal thought about it seriously. "I don't know."
Mo Rongzhan glanced at him and felt that he should have trusted him very much at that time. Otherwise, he would not have given him the things about Xiaoyao.
"Have you been to the Undead Region?" Mo Rongzhan asked.
"Yes …" the Eight Paths Supreme Immortal said, "I accompanied you there back then."
Mo Rongzhan gently nodded. "Alright then. Come with me again."
"…" The Eight Paths Exalted Immortal's eyes widened. "Young Empress, you must be joking."
"Do I look like I'm joking?" Mo Rongzhan asked lightly.
"Ghost Spirit King will kill me." Eight Paths Mighty Immortal shouted. Last time, he had almost shattered Ghostly Spirit King's beloved Bone Flower. Ghostly Spirit King had said that he would refine him into a Bone Flower. Moreover, going to the Undead Spirit Realm would consume a lot of spiritual power in his Qi Sea. He did not want to go there at all.
Mo Rongzhan said, "It's decided then."
The Eight Paths Ascendant Immortals didn't even have the chance to refuse.
In less than two days, all the Exalted Deities in the Nine Heavens knew that the Young Empress had returned. There was an endless stream of Exalted Deities and Exalted Immortals who came to seek an audience. After so many years, the Nine Heavens had finally awakened from its slumber. It was as if life had returned to the Nine Heavens.
Some people were happy, while others were angry.
The Grand Emperor didn't like to see the atmosphere of the nine heavens change because of Mo Rongzhan. He was the supreme ruler of the nine heavens, and those people should respect him. How could they treat a Young Emperor as their religion?
However, only the Queen Mother of the West could see the Grand Emperor's displeasure. Although the others knew that he had once been suspicious of Mo Rongzhan, they thought that after so many years, the Grand Emperor should have let go of his grudge. After all, the Young Emperor was his son.
"You want to go to the Dead Spirits Region?" The Grand Emperor summoned Mo Rongzhan and asked him unhappily.
"Yes," Mo Rongzhan replied.
The Grand Emperor snorted. "You overestimate yourself. With your current cultivation, you will be swallowed by the chaos there before you even get to the Dead Spirits Region. Don't you know that the Dead Spirits Region is at the edge of the world and is surrounded by chaos? The ghost energy there will erode your spirit qi. Can you still come out alive?"
"I still want to go to the Dead Spirits Region," Mo Rongzhan said plainly, not taking the Grand Emperor's mocking words to heart.
Anger surged in the Grand Emperor's heart. He hated Mo Rongzhan's stubbornness the most.
"Aren't you worried that you will lose this bit of cultivation? I'll say this first. Now that you don't have your godhood, the Ghostly Spirit King won't even care about you. If you are killed by him once, you will never have a chance to reincarnate again, "the Grand Emperor said coldly.
"Then, are you going to help me get my memories and godhood back from the Dead Spirits Region?" Mo Rongzhan asked.
"Then, you agree to two conditions?" The Grand Emperor snorted.
Mo Rongzhan laughed. "Impossible."
"You won't listen to me, but you still dare to expect me to go to the Dead Spirits Region for you." The Grand Emperor sneered. This son of his was completely different from him. He didn't know whose personality he took after, but he was so stubborn and cold that it was disgusting.
Yet, the god generals and high immortals of the Nine Heavens were very obedient to him.
All of Mo Rongzhan's glory and honor were bestowed by him, so why did Mo Rongzhan always get the limelight?
"That's why I'll go myself," Mo Rongzhan said plainly. "You don't have to worry about me."
"You …" The Grand Emperor was speechless, but he couldn't do anything to Mo Rongzhan.
Queen Mother of the West slowly walked in from the gate, bowed to the Grand Emperor, and said with a smile, "Grand Emperor, since your son is so determined, we should support him. Didn't you often teach him like this? If he retreats at the slightest setback, how can he become the Young Emperor of the Nine Heavens?"
"Queen Mother sure trusts him. Isn't she afraid that he won't even have a chance to be reborn in the future?" The Grand Emperor was shocked. Queen Mother of the West cared about this son the most. Back then, because of him, Mo Rongzhan went to the Spirit Region. Queen Mother of the West hadn't spoken to him for thousands of years. Even today, although she was respectful on the surface, she was still resentful.
"I'm afraid," Queen Mother of the West said honestly. "I gave birth to my son, so how can I not know his character? If he could be stopped, he wouldn't have entered the Spirit Region. "
The Grand Emperor snorted. "Then why did you let him go?"
"Whatever he lost, that's where he should get it back." Queen Mother of the West said, "The Spirit Region is dangerous, but where isn't now? If he doesn't find his godhood and Wen Tian attacks the Nine Heavens, who will lead the god generals to fight? Are you by yourself? That would be giving Wen Tian too much face. "
"This …" The Grand Emperor hesitated. He had forgotten about the troublesome Wen Tian. The hatred between Wen Tian and the Nine Heavens couldn't be resolved in a few days.
Queen Mother of the West said, "Back then, the only one who could fight Wen Tian to a draw was Ah Zhan."
The Grand Emperor snorted. "Let him go if he wants to."
"Thank you, Grand Emperor. Shouldn't we open the Nine Heavens' unique heavenly gate and let him go to the Spirit Region? You know that Ah Zhan's current cultivation can't go to the Chaos Heavens."
"He's very capable. Who knows, he might be able to pass?" the Grand Emperor said.
Queen Mother of the West sneered in her heart. She had never seen a father who couldn't wait for his son to die. "With Ah Zhan's ability, he can indeed pass. However, this will delay time. Wen Tian … is about to wake up."
The Grand Emperor's expression changed slightly. "Queen Mother of the West thinks so."
"Then I'll make the decision and return Ah Zhan's previous sword soul to him," Queen Mother of the West said.
"Queen Mother, you've already made arrangements. Even if I don't agree today, you will still do it," the Grand Emperor said coldly.
Queen Mother of the West smiled. "Naturally, it's best if the Grand Emperor agrees."
Even if he didn't agree, it wasn't a big deal. She would still do what she had to do.
