A wave of murderous intent surged toward Di Tian, forcing him back several thousand feet.
This sudden turn of events instantly gave the people on the Shrek City wall a glimpse of hope.
"Shui Yuanchen!"
Di Tian steadied himself with great effort, his voice trembling as he spoke each word. His gaze towards Shui Yuanchen was filled with apprehension.
At this moment, Shui Yuanchen did not rush to take action. Instead, he turned to face Shui Wuya and nodded.
Shui Wuya immediately understood and nodded back.
Earlier, he had discovered that the Ice Phoenix had the ability to open spatial channels. This was his greatest confidence in coming to Shrek City.
As long as the Ice Phoenix was present, he could summon Shui Yuanchen anytime, anywhere!
If necessary, he could even summon Shui Canglan as well.
"Take me to see the Auspicious Beast."
Shui Wuya repeated the same words as before. However, this time, both soul masters and soul beasts clearly heard his voice.
In the original story, the Auspicious Beast seemed to be a part of Tang San's daughter's soul.
Now that he knew the God of Asura in the Divine Realm was Tang San, he naturally had to pay more attention to these matters.
Currently, the ancestor and Tang San were vying for dominance in the Divine Realm. If some changes were made, perhaps the ancestor could directly rule the Divine Realm.
Shui Wuya pondered silently.
"Agreed."
The moment Shui Wuya finished speaking, Xuanzi finally agreed to his request.
At this moment, the safety of the entire Shrek City was in Shui Wuya's hands. If they angered Shui Wuya, no one could guarantee he wouldn't just leave.
"I apologize for my rudeness. Please forgive me."
In the sky, even the powerful Di Tian had to submit under the immense pressure brought by Shui Yuancheng. He restrained his aura and addressed Shui Wuya, focusing on retrieving the Auspicious Beast first.
Upon hearing this, Shui Wuya raised an eyebrow slightly, not expecting Di Tian to apologize.
This guy had repeatedly shown killing intent towards him, which was quite troublesome. The most critical issue was the Silver Dragon King behind Di Tian, whom he couldn't deal with at the moment.
"Disperse the beast tide."
After a moment, Shui Wuya spoke calmly.
Without hesitation, Di Tian let out a dragon roar.
"Roar!"
With the dragon's roar, the beast tide army surrounding Shrek City began to retreat like a receding tide.
"Lead the way."
After the beast tide had retreated several thousand feet, Shui Wuya no longer paid attention to Di Tian. He glanced at Yan Shaozhe, indicating for him to proceed.
At this moment, Shui Yuanchen descended from the sky, following closely behind Shui Wuya, with the Ice Phoenix, now the size of half an inch, perched on Shui Wuya's shoulder.
Quickly, Yan Shaozhe took the initiative to lead Shui Wuya and his entourage towards the Sea God Pavilion.
In the sky, Di Tian watched them depart, his heart seemingly undergoing a fierce internal struggle before he decided to follow them reluctantly.
After all, he had always stayed hidden whenever the Shui family appeared because he could never defeat them.
He had grown accustomed to it.
This time, once he retrieved the Auspicious Beast, he would retreat with everyone to train in seclusion. This time, he was determined to break through to a demigod!
However...
"Strange, the Ice Phoenix should have died over a decade ago. How can it suddenly appear with a member of the Shui family?"
Di Tian gazed at the Ice Phoenix on Shui Wuya's shoulder, his eyes filled with confusion.
As a fellow soul beast, he had sensed the Ice Phoenix's aura disappearing from the world over a decade ago.
He had assumed it had failed to survive the heavenly tribulation and had perished. Unexpectedly, he now saw the Ice Phoenix again.
However, the current Ice Phoenix seemed to be in its juvenile state, vastly different from the powerful Ice Phoenix he remembered.
...
In just a few moments, the Sea God Pavilion was filled with many figures.
The powerful members of Shrek Academy did not stop Di Tian from following them.
Among those present were the elders of the Sea God Pavilion, representatives of the three empires' reinforcements, Shui Wuya, Shui Yuanchen, Shui Xingtian, and Mo Lihai.
And, of course, Di Tian.
In the center of the Sea God Pavilion's main hall lay a stone platform, upon which the unconscious Wang Qiu'er rested, bathed in the soft golden light emanating from the ancient golden tree.
Seeing Wang Qiu'er, Di Tian felt an urge to take her away from this place.
However, as soon as he had this thought, he noticed Shui Yuancheng's eerie gaze directed at him.
Feeling extremely cautious, Di Tian dismissed his earlier thought.
"The power of the ancient golden tree has healed Wang Qiu'er's internal and external injuries, but for some reason, she remains in a comatose state and cannot awaken."
At this moment, the Sea God Pavilion's healing specialist, who had been treating Wang Qiu'er, spoke about her current condition.
Hearing this, Shui Wuya ignored the others and slowly approached Wang Qiu'er.
Next, Shui Wuya secretly activated his fifth soul skill, allowing the five soul spirits within him to quickly merge their spiritual powers into his spiritual world.
In an instant, an aura of terrifying spiritual power equivalent to a two-million-year-old soul beast erupted from Shui Wuya's body!
Everyone in the hall was shocked when they sensed the change in Shui Wuya's aura.
"He... actually possesses such terrifying spiritual power?!"
Yan Shaozhe's shock was evident. In just a few short years, he found that Shui Wuya had grown to an unimaginable level!
Even Xuanzi, an Ultimate Douluo, and Di Tian, an 800,000-year-old soul beast, couldn't hide their astonishment.
As a soul beast, Di Tian's sensitivity to spiritual power was acute. He could clearly sense that Shui Wuya's spiritual power had far surpassed that of the insect! How on earth did he achieve this?
Shui Wuya had no intention of explaining the crowd's confusion. He raised his right hand and touched Wang Qiu'er's forehead with his fingertip.
At the same time, a gentle wave of spiritual power flowed into Wang Qiu'er's spiritual world. The Ice Phoenix exhaled a breath, entering her body.
Instantly, stimulated by this gentle energy, Wang Qiu'er opened her eyes!
"Wang Qiu'er is awake!"
A cry of surprise echoed through the room. The strong members of Shrek Academy sighed in relief, and the trace of anxiety in Di Tian's heart also eased.
"Xuan Lao, Di Tian..."
Wang Qiu'er, regaining her senses, looked around the room and called out Xuan Lao and Di Tian's names.
"Auspicious Beast, come back to the Star Dou Forest with me."
Di Tian stepped forward, releasing a gentle power from his palm into Wang Qiu'er's body, his expression softening.
"Wang Qiu'er, Di Tian has come specifically for you. You are a student of Shrek Academy. Whether you go or stay is entirely your decision."
Xuan Lao spoke immediately after.
For a moment, an unusual atmosphere settled over the Sea God Pavilion's main hall, with all eyes fixed on Wang Qiu'er.
With her keen intellect, Wang Qiu'er quickly understood what had happened at Shrek Academy.
After a brief internal struggle, Wang Qiu'er made her decision.
"Huo Yuhao is dead. I will stay and fulfill his aspirations: to revitalize the Tang Sect and carry on Shrek's legacy."
Wang Qiu'er once again declared in front of everyone that Huo Yuhao was dead.
The members of Shrek Academy showed various expressions of sorrow upon hearing this.
Huo Yuhao, the final disciple of Dragon God Douluo Mu En and the youngest elder of the Sea God Pavilion, had died so mysteriously. This news inevitably brought sorrow to those who had placed great hopes on him.
