Chapter 1737: Chapter 1776: Yin Marrow Talisman

This cave residence indeed harbors another world.

The moment the cave appeared, a long-accumulated black Yin Qi swept forth.

Even with Jiang Fan’s body at the Divinity Transformation Realm, he felt waves of trepidation within this Yin Qi.

And this was with the Undying Bell paving the way; facing this Yin Qi directly might allow it to invade his body.

As the Yin Qi dispersed, Jiang Fan could finally see the situation of the hidden cave residence.

In front of a simple stone platform lay a tall member of the Asura Clan.

Having endured the passing of a thousand years, his body remained perfectly preserved, showing no signs of decay, akin to the Misfortune Sage.

His identity was almost self-evident.

The remains of an Asura Emperor from a millennium ago!

At this moment, he held a pen in his hand, with an ancient painting before him, still incomplete.

It seemed he was still painting in his final moments.

As Jiang Fan moved closer to look, his heart jumped fiercely.

In the painting.

Flowers in full bloom, a woman in a green long dress stood among the flowers, followed by a flock of Five-Colored Roosters.

A rainbow crossed the sky behind her, as if adorning the scene.

She held a radiant pearl in her left hand and gently brushed her flowing black hair with her right.

At first glance, she was identical to the Ancient Saint of Cloud Desolation depicted in Wu Manyue’s found picture.

Jiang Fan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, immediately looking at her face.

But unfortunately, it seemed this Asura Emperor had encountered some resistance, drawing only a pair of eyebrows and eyes before the stroke of the pen abruptly ended.

Jiang Fan understood how he had died.

Attempting to depict a Saint forcibly, he died from divine retribution, much like how Hua Xin nearly perished when merely mentioning the Boundary Master of the Hell Realm.

"What a pity, it was so close to being completed." Jiang Fan regretted, just a little more and he could have seen the true visage of the Ancient Saint of Cloud Desolation.

He carefully examined the Ancient Saint in the painting, the more he looked, the more familiar she seemed.

"Huh, where have I seen those eyes before!" Jiang Fan exclaimed in surprise.

He tried hard to recall, comparing them with the women he had seen in his life.

But soon, his thoughts seemed to sink into a quagmire, becoming sluggish, as the memories of numerous women in his mind gradually blurred.

His memory was being blocked!

This startled him into a cold sweat, quickly averting his gaze from the painting, before the memories of the women became clear again.

But the memory of the eyes in the painting remained unclear.

Jiang Fan was secretly shocked: "Is the might of the Ancient Saint truly so inscrutable? I can’t even think about it!"

He dared not look at the painting anymore, lest his memory suffer irreversible loss.

However, he couldn’t let go of the painting.

He reached out and took the painting.

Plop——

Unexpectedly, as the painting was drawn out, an object pressing down on the painting was pulled from the stone table and fell to the ground.

Jiang Fan looked down, startled:

"The Yin Marrow Talisman?"

He incredulously picked it up, then rummaged through the Heavenly Thunder Stone, finding the other Yin Marrow Talisman.

The two were almost identical, tiger-shaped talismans with half sides.

The difference was that they were mirrored left and right.

Jiang Fan’s mind buzzed: "Why are there two Yin Marrow Talismans?"

"Wait!"

He remembered that when commanding armies in the Mortal Kingdom, the two halves of a tiger talisman had to combine to mobilize a thousand troops.

Could it be that the Hell Realm’s Yin Marrow Talisman is the same?

No wonder a half Yin Marrow Talisman doesn’t have such a powerful commanding effect on the creatures of the underground world, it merely evokes awe.

It turns out it was missing a half!

Jiang Fan was overjoyed, possessing the Yin Marrow Talisman meant he could command the Hell Realm’s army?

What a pity.

If he had obtained it before the Ancient Giant War, he might have summoned an entire army from the Hell Realm to fight the Ancient Giants.

Central Earth would win more easily.

Of course, according to Hua Xin, the talisman only worked for Hell Realm powerful beings above Asura King.

But for Jiang Fan, this wasn’t a problem.

Because Green Pearl, his little wife, was genuinely an Asura King!

"This journey was worth it." Jiang Fan’s face beamed with a bright smile as he pocketed the two halves of the talisman into a Space Storage Device.

Then, looking at the Asura Emperor’s remains in front of him, Jiang Fan showed no reservation, putting them into the Space Mirror.

He would draw blood later, refining the Asura Saint’s blood.

At this moment.

A voice slightly chilly sounded from outside the cave:

"Who is here?"

It was Ayushura King.

She sensed the Divinity Transformation fluctuation and came over, quite surprised by the blood-colored Crystal Stone cave residence entering her view.

She had awakened for hundreds of years, yet was unaware of the existence of a hidden cave residence here.

What made her cautious was the strong aura exuded by the Divinity Transformation Realm within the cave, which made her deeply uneasy.

As she watched, the figure of a young man stepped out of the cave.

After seeing his face clearly, she froze on the spot, a little incredulous: "Are you Youran’s husband?"

It wasn’t surprising she was shocked.

The last time she saw Jiang Fan, he was just a small guy in the Core Formation Realm.

She couldn’t relate him to the predecessor before her, exuding the aura of Heavenly Human Two Declines, whose strength surpassed hers.

Jiang Fan clasped his hands with a smile: "Ayushura King, have you been well recently?"

Ayushura King had helped Xu Youran and him numerous times, he kept this favor in his heart.

Even though his strength now exceeded hers, he remained respectful.

"It really is you!" Ayushura King’s face showed disbelief, sizing up Jiang Fan: "Is it so easy for your Human Clan to reach Divinity Transformation?"

Jiang Fan merely chuckled and said: "Predecessor, I came today tracking an enemy."

"She entered the underground world days ago, have you seen her?"

Ayushura King’s expression grew serious: "Days ago?"

Jiang Fan’s face subtly changed, hearing her tone, she hadn’t found Tian Ge’s traces.

It seemed Tian Ge was well prepared for this visit.

He spoke in a deep voice: "This person is a princess of the Dark Shura Clan, she descended from the Connecting Sky Black Pillar three months ago, feigned captivity, and seized the opportunity during the Ancient Giant War, to enter the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion."

Upon hearing about the Dark Shura Clan, Ayushura King’s face instantly grew dark, her eyes showing killing intent.

"Traitors of the Hell Realm, dare to return!"

"Come, join me in searching the tenth layer, and find her!"

Jiang Fan nodded, while extending his perception, he asked a long-existing question in his heart:

"Predecessor, what grudge exists between the Dark Shura Clan and the Hell Realm?"

As Hua Xin also detested Tian Ge upon seeing her for the first time.

Moreover, it was said there were no longer Dark Shura Clan in the Hell Realm.

Ayushura King pondered momentarily, then said: "It’s the eternal shame of the Hell Realm, generally not spoken of outside."

"Since you are Youran’s husband, you aren’t considered an outsider."

"Ten thousand years ago, before your era of Central Earth, Hell Realm and Heavenly Realm were two adjoining worlds, in constant conflict."

Jiang Fan slowly nodded.

The numerous remnants of Asura Clan in the Heavenly Realm are the best evidence.
