When the Crown Prince heard the Demon Emperor say that the spring water could extend his life by at least three years, his heart sank. He had waited for so many years, and his father was about to die, and would pass the throne to him in the next few days.

It turns out that all of this will be postponed for another three years, and maybe even longer. How many people can handle that?

However, there was nothing he could do about it. After all, the empire belonged to his father, and their cultivation levels were worlds apart. If his father wouldn't give it to him, he couldn't take it from him.

He could only keep comforting himself that three years was alright, not too long, especially for cultivators; it might just pass by in a period of seclusion.

Hearing the Demon Emperor's question, he said, "Your subject will also try some."

If his father lived three more years, he should also live three more years to avoid losing out.

Seeing that the Demon Emperor had no intention of stopping him, he cautiously knelt down by the spring and took a sip. His eyes widened immediately. The refreshing feeling of the energy washing over his entire body, along with the rich vitality, made him feel that his life force had increased by more than three years.

I made a profit!

However, the taste was indeed a bit strange: "It really does smell like urine, but maybe this rare spiritual spring has this special taste."

The Demon Emperor nodded: "That seems to be true."

At this moment, Prince Jinwu said, "Father, since this spring can prolong life, please drink more and replenish your lifespan."

The Demon Emperor was somewhat pleased: "It's rare to see such filial piety from you, but no need. This stuff has its limits; it has less effect on those with higher cultivation levels. I'm already very satisfied that I've extended my life by three years, so drinking more won't help. On the contrary, you can drink more; it will have a greater effect on you."

"Father..." Crown Prince Jinwu feigned gratitude, but inwardly he sneered. He was no ordinary man; he had known about this rule for a long time, otherwise, would he have been crazy to offer such an opinion?

Then, with tears of gratitude, he drank several more large mouthfuls, thinking that this spiritual spring truly lived up to its name. Although it had a urine-like smell at first sip, it had a sweet aftertaste.

Seeing his blissful expression, Wu Liang couldn't help but swallow hard.

Unfortunately, he knew that as a prisoner, he would never be entitled to such a privilege.

“This spiritual spring gives me a feeling of incompleteness,” the Demon Emperor frowned. “It seems to be missing half, which greatly reduces its effectiveness.”

Prince Jinwu immediately said, "It must be that brat Zu'an who just stole half of the spiritual spring here! That scoundrel is indeed a wolf in sheep's clothing; he should have been crushed to dust long ago."

Although he spoke through gritted teeth, he felt a sense of gratitude towards Zuan for the first time. Fortunately, Zuan stole half of it; otherwise, he would have had to wait several more years to inherit the throne.

At this moment, the Demon Emperor casually waved his hand, and an empty palm reached out to grab the bottom of the spring, obviously to capture the escaped Zu An.

Wu Liang was dumbfounded. The methods of the Earth Immortal were truly unbelievable. Zu An and the others were definitely doomed.

Just then, the Demon Emperor frowned, waved his hand a few more times, and finally withdrew it, his face grim.

"Father, what's wrong?" Crown Prince Jinwu asked hurriedly, genuinely concerned.

The Demon Emperor said in a deep voice, "This spring doesn't look big, but it's bottomless inside. They escaped."

Prince Jinwu said, "Father, don't worry. They may run away, but they can't hide. They've taken the spiritual spring, so they're sure they're keeping it safe. As long as we catch them, we can take it back."

But in his heart, he kept praying that Zaun wouldn't get caught.

The Demon Emperor was very pleased, feeling that his son was becoming more and more worry-free.

"Let's go." He casually waved his hand, sucking a stream of spring water into his sleeve, and it was unclear how he preserved it.

After collecting everything, he turned around and went down the mountain. Now, with the help of the spiritual spring, he was no longer as hesitant as before.

Prince Jinwu was taken aback: "Aren't we going to chase after them through the spring?"

He regretted it as soon as the words left his mouth. Why did he have to say that? If his father really caught him and took him to Zu'an, he would be doomed.

The Demon Emperor shook his head: "The area below is too vast, and it seems to connect to the sea. We have no direction to search, and besides, our Golden Crow clan is associated with fire, so we are easily targeted in the water."

Although he can go into the water, he doesn't like water by nature.

"Father is wise!" Crown Prince Jinwu quickly showered him with flattery. "So, where do we go now?"

The Demon Emperor, having just enjoyed a long lifespan, was in a very good mood and patiently replied, "I just sensed a familiar power in the distance. Let's go take a look."

Wu Liang, lurking in the corner, darted his eyes around. A familiar power? What could it be?

"Hurry up and catch up." Prince Jinwu came up behind him and kicked him in the butt. His father had inexplicably gained a few years of life, so he was in a bad mood and could only vent it on this fat man.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Wu Liang nodded and bowed repeatedly, thinking to himself that if he was not given a chance to escape, he would definitely dig up all the ancestral graves of the Golden Crow Clan.

Meanwhile, their group disappeared into the distance, while Zuan's group swam forward in a bubble.

After leaving the area of ​​Yushan, they seemed to have entered a vast sea. Zuan immediately summoned the Blue Duck to create this water sphere.

Now that his cultivation level has increased, the water spheres he creates have also grown larger, so everyone is not as crowded as before.

At this moment, the girls sat on the other side with disdainful expressions, their eyes filled with a competitive spirit.

Zuan said dejectedly, "Why are you all looking at me like that?"

"How dare you say that?" Yu Yanlu scolded, "You could have just left, why did you have to, why did you have to do that..."

Zu An's expression turned serious: "Were you spying on me?"
