“Patriarch…” Jing Xiang’s parents appeared hesitant.

 

However, the Patriarch of the Jing Family waved his hand and looked meaningfully at Jing Xiang. “Everyone has their secrets. It’s fine that you refuse to tell us the truth. I won’t force you to.”

 

Jing Xiang was struggling deep within. He was not certain if the things the Early Ancestor had told him were true or if he could even tell anyone about it. After all, the matter involved the secrets and scandal of the Jing Family.

 

He wondered if the Patriarch was even aware of this matter. He decided to come clean to his parents when there was a chance. Of all the Elders of the Jing Family, he only trusted his parents.

 

Gu Changge watched everything from a distance with interest.

 

After all, the fact that Jing Xiang was here had something to do with him. However, he was not certain at that time whether the aura that had invaded Jing Xiang had something to do with the move he had left behind in the past.

 

Presently, the Patriarch of the Jing Family agreed to open the barrier to the Land of Eternity and let them have a look inside.

 

Naturally, the Elders of the Imperial Celestial Palace were pleased. The Ancient Seniors who were trying to calm everyone down earlier were relieved. They were worried that both parties would get into a conflict.

 

Then, the Ancestral Dao Realm Masters of the Imperial Celestial Palace launched another round of attacks to shatter the barrier.

 

Everyone looked in that direction, including the Seniors of the Jing Family. They were curious about what was on the other side.

 

A light exploded as immense energy poured into the world like a tsunami. Sand rose into the sky as though there was a boundless desert before their eyes. The glowing world on the other end was revealed to them.

 

There was a thick barrier behind the portal, but the barrier had been damaged, revealing a red barren land where the sand swept through the air.

 

All of them were dumbfounded. They did not see the lush greenery they had imagined it to be. It surprised them that the so-called Land of Eternity looked like this.

 

[What’s going on?] The Elders of the Jing Family were rooted to the spot.

 

The Land of Eternity they had been guarding over the years was merely a desert that was void of any vitality? They could not detect any Spiritual Energy. Instead, the air was filled with an inauspicious aura that terrified them.

 

Just then, Ling Yuxian bolted into the world and flew towards the boundless desert. She soon disappeared from everyone’s sight.

 

The Elders and Ancient Seniors of the Imperial Celestial Palace were worried, so they hurriedly followed her.

 

The parents of Jing Xiang and Jing Xiao kept them by their side as they followed behind the members of the Jing Family.

 

Before entering the place, the pair had looked in Gu Changge’s direction. That was because they could feel that their Daughter had glanced at Gu Changge for a brief moment.

 

They wondered if he was the man that Jing Xiao had fallen in love with that Ling Qiuchang had previously mentioned in a letter.

 

Noticing the gaze of the parents, Gu Changge flashed a smile at them before vanishing into thin air.

 

[That man…] Jing Xiang’s parents were startled while feeling shocked deep within.

 

They could not sense how Gu Changge even disappeared. Although they were still a long way away from the Ancestral Dao Realm, it was inconceivable that they could not even see through a young man’s power.

 

“That’s strange. I didn’t expect that the man Xiao’er loves to be such a mysterious being.”

 

They shook their heads and turned around to follow everyone else without thinking deeply about it. The Land of Eternity was always barren and desolate. There was no vitality at all. Even the rivers and lakes had dried up.

 

Upon entering the place, they instantly felt that there was no Spiritual Energy and all the World Principles were broken. It was like a universe where some supreme experts had battled against each other before.

 

It would take this place a long time to recover before any life was born.

 

The people of the Jing Family were astonished, finding everything incomprehensible. They did not expect that the Land of Eternity they had been guarding over the years would look like this. Where were the Ancestors who had been told to enter this place?

 

Since their Soul Lamps were still around, it showed that they were alive. Even the Early Ancestor who had established the Jing Family was not dead yet.

 

Although this world was vast, the members of the Jing Family who had come to this place were powerful. They scanned their surroundings with their divine senses, trying to look for the Ancestors.

 

On the other hand, the people of the Imperial Celestial Palace were following Ling Yuxian to save the trapped Founder.

 

Although this world was strange, the Imperial Celestial Palace was one of the strongest and oldest Forces in the Primary Hope Civilisation.

 

Now that most of their mightiest cultivators were there, they were naturally unafraid of any obstacles.

 

Inside the Demon Sealing Tower, the Ancestors of the Jing Family were suddenly agitated. That was because they could feel the aura of the outside world they had not felt in a long time. Some people had destroyed the barrier and entered this world.

 

Although they could not leave the Demon Sealing Tower or send some voice messages using their divine sense. They were trying to make some noise to lure those people to come to this tower.

 

On the top floor of the Demon Sealing Tower, the black-robed old man was thrilled as he looked out the tower fervently.

 

[I’m about to break free! I’m about to break free!] He could hardly conceal his excitement. It was to the point where he had the urge to dance.

 

Grand Runes appeared from the walls and struck him like lightning, but these attacks could not stop him from feeling thrilled. He had been trapped in this tower for countless years, and he was finally able to break free! It was only natural that he was agitated!

 

The entire Demon Sealing Tower was trembling as though an earthquake was happening.

 

When an Elder of the Jing Family scanned this area with his divine sense and discovered the Demon Sealing Tower, he was shocked. Then, he hurriedly reported this matter to the Patriarch.

 

[There’s really a tower in the Land of Eternity. The words written in the notes left behind by the Early Ancestor are true…]

 

The Patriarch and the most senior members of the Jing Family exchanged glances. They could see how shocked and conflicted each other was.

 

Meanwhile, Jing Xiang’s parents and Jing Xiao heard from him that the Early Ancestor of the Jing Family had fallen for his descendants’ trick and were trapped in this place.

 

They were astonished as they could not believe their ears.

 

If someone else had told them about it, they would have felt that the person was mad. However, Jing Xiang was the one who informed them about it.

 

The fact that Jing Xiang could not become a cultivator was because of the curse left behind by the Early Ancestor, and it was applied to him.

 

Was this also the reason why he chose to remain silent when the Patriarch asked him how he found out about this matter?

 

It seemed that the Patriarch was aware of something, which was why he even said such things.

 

“This is ridiculous! It is inconceivable!”

 

Disbelief was written all over the faces of Jing Xiang’s parents.
