第两千八百六十五章 冰魄的身世

"Ashura King did this for a reason, though I don't know the specifics. But based on my guess, he wanted to use the technique of 'Golden蝉脱壳' to transfer his soul and be reborn," Ice Soul said slowly, her face even colder than before. The secret they were discussing was known by very few in all three realms.

Or maybe there wasn’t any such plan at all." How could it be possible for the Ashura King to undergo soul rebirth? He was already a figure comparable to True Immortals and controlled the underworld, with unmatched beauty. Even among all three realms, only the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox could match him in strength. Why would he need to arrange his rebirth when he had already achieved so much?

"Perhaps there were unforeseen circumstances that led to his downfall," Ice Soul said.

"But if that's the case, why not just let him continue his cultivation and eventually become a True Immortal? The chances of finding all seven treasures before then are slim. He must have planned something else."

"The fall was merely a way for him to escape his current form. Before his soul rebirth, he had already arranged the Ashura Seven Treasures. By reversing the laws of nature, he sealed away his strength, beauty, and memories within them. If one day we can gather all seven treasures, he will return to this world without needing further cultivation."

Ice Soul's voice continued, revealing a secret that shocked even the three realms.

"Are you saying that if we find these seven treasures, we can gain Ashura King's power?" Snake Gem's breathing quickened. Even the Primordial True Demon revered Ashura King’s strength and beauty, as he was once the ruler of the underworld, comparable to a True Immortal. If she could obtain his power, she would be invincible across all three realms.

"But that's not so simple," Ice Soul said slowly. "Not only is Ashura King exceptionally talented, but before his soul rebirth, he had already made arrangements. Even if we find one of the treasures, it will be extremely difficult. And even if someone with great fortune manages to gather all seven, they still can't unlock the seals and gain his power."

"Why not?"

"Because, as you said, the cycle of rebirth is uncertain. Even though Ashura King's strength surpasses that of True Immortals, there’s no guarantee he won’t make a mistake in his calculations. He anticipated such possibilities. To unlock the seven treasures' seals and gain his power, one must use their bloodline as a key. In other words, this person must be from the Ashura royal family with very close ties to Ashura King."

"Is that possible? According to what I know, the Ashura clan is powerful in the underworld, but their royal lineage is sparse. Especially considering how mysterious Ashura King's origins are—no one knows if he has any siblings. This means that unless it’s the reborn Ashura King, no one else can benefit from the Ashura Seven Treasures."

Snake Gem exclaimed as she looked at the makeup box in her companion's hand. She had gone to great lengths to retrieve this item and shared such ancient secrets with her. Clearly, this unassuming makeup box was one of the Ashura Seven Treasures.

If it’s useless even after obtaining it, why did Ice Soul go through all that trouble? This didn’t seem like her character. Was there something more hidden?

As she pondered, Ice Soul's voice continued, having already revealed so much today, she might as well share a bit more.

"Indeed, the Ashura royal lineage is small, but it’s not true that only the king can unlock these treasures. I can also unlock the seals."

"What…?"

Snake Gem, being the Primordial True Demon, had seen many powerful arrays, yet at this moment, she was speechless and stunned.

Ice Soul had just clearly stated that only those with a close bloodline to Ashura King could unlock the treasures. But how could Ice Soul, as a true demon, achieve this? Was it possible that the Primordial True Demon was actually from the Ashura clan and had deep ties to Ashura King?

This was impossible.

Snake Gem was still in shock.

After hearing so many secrets, she now had more questions than answers. However, she wasn't an ordinary person. After a moment's hesitation, she managed to suppress her curiosity.

Although their relationship was close, everyone has secrets. Ice Soul had already revealed much, and it might be better not to pry further. Maybe the point was to remind her that chasing the Ashura Seven Treasures was futile.

Regardless of what, the next secret didn't belong in her inquiries.

What did Ice Soul's connection with the Ashura clan have to do with her?

Words could bring trouble, and hearing too many secrets wasn’t beneficial. Snake Gem understood this clearly. Suppressing her doubts, she asked another question:

"Sealing his power is understandable, but sealing his beauty as well? That’s a bit strange, but it can be explained by how beautiful he was. He likely didn't want to cause a stir during rebirth. But why seal his memories? Remembering his past could benefit him in this life."

"I don’t know," Ice Soul said with a hint of a smile. Although I've stumbled upon many secrets, they are still relative. Ashura King’s specific plans were well thought out, and as someone not close to him, I have no idea."
