The ancient tower was finely built. Every floor exuded an aura that was as magnificent as a mountain range.

 

The entire tower radiated a green glow and was covered in a flowing Chaotic Light, ensuring no one could take a peek inside. It remained indestructible over the years, despite the erosion of time.

 

“There’s really a tower here…”

 

“The record found in the Early Ancestor’s notes is right. The height and shape of the tower are the same as written in the record.”

 

The Patriarch and the most Seniors of the Jing Family had arrived.

 

They stood on a barren hilltop and examined the tower with conflicted expressions.

 

It was apparent that they were aware of something, so they were not as shocked and agitated as the other members.

 

Many people surrounded the tower. The members of the Jing Family were looking at it in shock.

 

It was astonishing and inconceivable that there was only a tower in the Land of Eternity which the Jing Family had been guarding for many years.

 

Moreover, as though detecting their presence, the lights in the tower suddenly brightened as a humming sound was heard.

 

“I can feel the auras of the Ancestors inside! They’re really here to guard this place. My Grandfather had come to this place. He’s probably inside the tower now,” said a Dao Realm Elder of the Jing Family with excitement.

 

He had been alive for a long time. Needless to say, his Grandfather must be an even more ancient being.

 

“I can sense the Bloodline connection. The Ancestors from our Bloodline are inside the tower as well,” another Elder of the Jing Family said agitatedly. He could hardly conceal his elation.

 

Now, people of the Jing Family confirmed that this tower was where their Ancestors were trapped. However, why were they confined here? Were they not invited to the Land of Eternity back then?

 

“Patriarch, do you already know something about the tower?” Asked one of the members of the Jing Family.

 

The Patriarch of the Jing Family donned a conflicted expression. He exchanged glances with several Elders before shaking his head and letting out a sigh. “I do know something. The Early Ancestor who founded the Jing Family had left behind a notes which contained information about the Land of Eternity. There are many descriptions about the Demon Sealing Tower. The Early Ancestor repeatedly said that regardless of what happens, we must not open up the tower and let the being inside leave.”

 

Therefore, the Patriarch of the Jing Family was in a dilemma. He could feel the auras of many Ancestors of the Jing Family inside the tower.

 

“What will happen if we open up the tower?”

 

“That’s the order of the Early Ancestor. He even left behind a notes for this reason. He must have been worried. However, the Early Ancestor’s Soul Lamp is still around. Perhaps he’s inside the tower as well.”

 

The Patriarch of the Jing Family was conflicted and struggling deep within.

 

Just then, a member of the Jing Family tried to come into contact with the tower.

 

There was an invisible barrier around the tower. The moment the Jing Family member came into contact with the barrier, ripples were formed as he disappeared from everyone’s sight.

 

The other members of the Jing Family were shocked upon seeing that.

 

“Did he just enter the tower without any obstacle?”

 

“What’s inside the tower?”

 

The Dao Realm Elders felt that something was off when they saw that. They had initially intended to give it a try, but they hesitated for a moment before giving up on the idea.

 

They felt that once they entered the tower, it would not be easy for them to come out.

 

The auras of the Ancestors were inside, but they were unable to leave.

 

“Patriarch, should we open up the tower? The Ancestors must be trapped inside and they can’t leave. They need us to save them,” Asked a Jing Family member as he recalled the matter of saving the Founder of the Imperial Celestial Palace .

 

Upon hearing that, the Patriarch was hesitant, not knowing what to do. When Jing Xiang’s parents saw that, they exchanged glances, feeling that the Patriarch was aware of something.

 

According to Jing Xiang’s statement, the Early Ancestor of the Jing Family must be confined inside the tower.

 

“We cannot open up the tower. All of you, stay away from the tower,” ordered the Patriarch. He shook his head and let out a sigh.

 

The other Seniors of the Jing Family nodded in agreement. “This matter is not so urgent. Let’s see how the Imperial Celestial Palace is dealing with it. Since their Founder is trapped here, they surely have to come up with a way to save their Founder. Our most urgent task is to help them rescue their Founder.”

 

They were also aware of the content found in the notes, so they were cautious.

 

Moreover, they were worried about another matter now.

 

They wondered if the being sealed in the Demon Sealing Tower was the Founder of the Imperial Celestial Palace .

 

Perhaps the Founder of the Imperial Celestial Palace and the Early Ancestor of the Jing Family were not the allies that everyone thought them to be. Instead, they might have been enemies.

 

Otherwise, they could not explain why the Early Ancestor gave them such an order through the notes.

 

Upon hearing that, members of the Jing Family who were unaware of the truth were shocked and puzzled. The Ancestors of the Jing Family were trapped inside the tower, so they did not understand why the Patriarch and the Seniors were so unfeeling. They were not even allowed to open up the tower.

 

Knowing what was on their minds, the Patriarch of the Jing Family explained helplessly, “This matter involves some secrets that cannot be revealed to you now. I’ll tell you about it when there’s a chance in the future.”

 

[Is everything Xiang’er said true?] Jing Xiang’s parents exchanged glances and turned solemn.

 

They were initially doubtful about Jing Xiang’s statement, but it seemed to have been verified.

 

What were the secrets that prompted the Patriarch to stop everyone from opening up the tower? Their Ancestors were trapped inside the tower, but the Patriarch chose not to take any action. What had the Jing Family been guarding over the generations?

 

Jing Xiang’s parents were full of doubts. They were struggling deep within.

 

Just then, the voice which Jing Xiang had heard before sounded in his mind again.
