Chapter 1730: Chapter 1769: One Thousand Years

The threat of the Asura Saint Heir to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion served as a wake-up call for Jiang Fan.

Thankfully, Fairy Yun Shang reacted promptly this time, leading the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion’s disciples to move quickly, preventing the Asura Saint Heir from succeeding.

What if we encounter another strong enemy next time?

We can’t keep running away with the entire sect every time.

Inviting a sage to guard the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion would eliminate almost all troubles.

Therefore, restoring Tianluo Sage’s consciousness is imperative.

Jiang Fan leaped out of the continent and came before Tianluo Sage, pondered for a while, and took out a sheet of paper to quickly jot down several lines of text.

The Great Wine Sacrifice glanced sideways, his lips twitching.

Written on it was:

"I, Sage Tianluo, earnestly request Starfire Venerable to heal my consciousness, and from the day of recovery, I voluntarily guard the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion for one thousand years."

"Great Wine Sacrifice, Heavenly Craft Sage to witness."

"If the vow is broken, let all sages join forces to punish."

"Established by Tianluo Sage."

After writing, Jiang Fan grabbed Tianluo Sage’s finger and pressed it onto the contract.

He blew the ink dry and contentedly tucked it into the Heavenly Thunder Stone.

How could he appoint himself as a free servant? Once Tianluo Sage wakes up, he would present this contract for him to adhere to!

The Great Wine Sacrifice said grumpily, "A thousand years, you dare write that! How could he agree?"

Jiang Fan smiled slightly, "I shouted a high number to leave room for bargaining."

"Even bargaining down to a month means profit for our Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion."

With a speechless look on his face, the Great Wine Sacrifice watched as Jiang Fan again took out a pouch and put Tianluo Sage inside.

The Great Wine Sacrifice said, "In three days, the Heavenly Craft Sage and I will come here to fetch you."

"As for the disciples of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, the Mixed Element State Wine Festival remains in the Heavenly State to ensure their wellbeing."

The Heavenly Craft Sage handed Jiang Fan a small tower-shaped top-grade Spiritual Artifact, exuding a suppressive force on souls.

"The souls of Ancient Giants you asked everyone to collect are all inside."

Jiang Fan grabbed it, almost forgetting there were so many souls:

"Thank you, Heavenly Craft Sage."

Green Pearl glanced at Jiang Fan and Xu Youran, this continent is where they bonded, she should not interrupt them.

"Husband, I’ll return to the Heavenly State first, I will do all I can regarding Sister Chen Silin."

Jiang Fan smiled slightly, stepped forward to hold her small hand, and as he released it, she held a roll of black scripture scroll.

Upon its appearance, the Great Wine Sacrifice and Heavenly Craft Sage were equally astonished.

"A World Artifact of the Hell Realm?"

Though not recognizing it, they could sense its grade and aura.

Yue Mingzhu stunned for a moment, upon realization, she threw it back to Jiang Fan like she had touched burning coal:

"Why did you put this in my hand?"

It’s a World Artifact of the Hell Realm, an existence she dared not even imagine.

Jiang Fan chuckled, "It’s for you."

Ah?

Not only Yue Mingzhu but even the Great Wine Sacrifice and Heavenly Craft Sage were shocked on the spot.

They didn’t have such a World Artifact themselves!

Jiang Fan directly gifted Yue Mingzhu one!

Yue Mingzhu was dumbstruck, her lips quivering slightly, "How can I accept such a thing?"

"Please, don’t burden me."

Jiang Fan said, "Only the Asura Clan can wield this World Artifact, who else would I give it to but you?"

"Take it!"

He stuffed the Book of Life and Death back into Yue Mingzhu’s hands.

After a moment of thought, he also took out Washing Spirit Liquid to cleanse away any traces of the Hell Realm Master’s aura to prevent Yue Mingzhu from attracting trouble.

Yue Mingzhu held the Book of Life and Death, feeling lost and not daring to accept it.

Until Xu Youran came over, gently holding her hand with compassion:

"We are all family, don’t be polite."

The youngest sister of the Asura Clan, she had heard from Yun Shang, was a girl of unfortunate fate, neither favored by her elder sister nor loved by the clan members.

If it weren’t for Jiang Fan’s intervention, her destiny would be very bleak at this moment.

This reminded Xu Youran of her initial situation, making her feel compassion.

Moreover, she shielded Jiang Fan in the Ancient Wilderness Hunting Ground, such a girl, how could she bear to reject?

Upon hearing ’family’, Green Pearl’s eyes moistened.

Her greatest concern was Jiang Fan’s other women wouldn’t accept her.

Unexpectedly, Xu Youran, as the lead consort, graciously accepted her without any difficulty.

Seeing Jiang Fan gifting her a World Artifact, without jealousy but even urging her to accept.

Calling her one of the family.

This filled her heart with enormous warmth, a sense of boundless world and bright future.

Central Earth, she indeed found the right place.

Following Jiang Fan, also right!

She smiled with tears, "Thank you, sister, thank you, husband."

"Having you is wonderful."

She no longer hesitated, accepted the heavy Book of Life and Death, saying, "Then I’ll wait for you in the Heavenly State."

After saying this, she departed with the two sages.

Jiang Fan cast an apologetic glance towards Xu Youran, "I’ve put you in a difficult position."

Xu Youran gently pinched his arm, chiding, "You realize?"

"Getting three at once, you’re faster than an emperor choosing concubines."

The appearance of True Word Venerable, Yue Mingzhu, and Green Pearl caught her somewhat off guard too.

Jiang Fan awkwardly smiled.

Just then, he suddenly looked up towards the core of the continent, showing some surprise and suspicion.

"What’s wrong?" Xu Youran asked, releasing his arm.

Jiang Fan said solemnly, "I’ve sensed fluctuations of the Divinity Transformation Realm."

Isn’t he the only one in the Divinity Transformation Realm on this continent?

How could another in the Divinity Transformation Realm arrive on the continent?

Wait!

Jiang Fan suddenly recalled leaving a Divinity Transformation Realm talisman with Gong Caiyi for protection during his last visit to the continent.

Now the talisman was activated, does that mean she encountered an enemy needing Divinity Transformation Realm level to confront?

"No, Gong Caiyi is in trouble!" Jiang Fan didn’t have time to explain, grabbed Xu Youran and instantly moved away.

A mere cup of tea later.

Jiang Fan arrived at the source of the Divinity Transformation Realm fluctuations, but it wasn’t at Gong Caiyi’s Spirit Beast Sect.

Rather at the Nine-Dynasty Ancient Capital of the Demon Race.

Jiang Fan once discovered a wounded Ancient Giant here, nearly dying at its hands.

Now, outside the Nine-Dynasty Ancient Capital, there was a massive magma lake spanning hundreds of miles.

It was caused by a Divinity Transformation Strike.

In the magma lake, faintly visible were some horned figures larger than the Human Clan.

Clearly Asura Clan!

"Where did these Asura Clan come from?" Jiang Fan’s expression turned serious, with a glance he found Gong Caiyi.

She and a group of Nine-Sect strong were gathered at the ruins of the Nine-Dynasty Ancient Capital, all injured, in a battered state.

Among them, Xu Qingyang, Supreme Elder of Wan Jian Sect, lay in the mud with half his body missing, barely breathing.

Everyone surrounded him, faces filled with sorrow.

Gong Caiyi silently shed tears, "I’m sorry, Supreme Elder Xu, I arrived too late."

Xu Qingyang weakly said:

"Lady Gong is overly kind... this is my fate..."

"I heard the Ancient Giant was driven away... wanted to check on Liang Feiyan in Taicang State... unfortunately, I can’t see her... wish she’s still alive..."

With that, his eyes slowly closed.

Gong Caiyi’s sorrow deepened, recalling the death of Li Qingfeng, the elder of Green Cloud Sect.

Li Qingfeng didn’t fall in the Boundary Mountain battle, but died at the hands of the Giant Sect.

Now Xu Qingyang met the same fate.

The Ancient Giant battle ended, yet he fell before dawn.

Why is the heavens always so cruel and merciless?

But at this moment, Gong Caiyi suddenly noticed the scars on her hand miraculously healing.
