No one knew what was sealed within the ancient tower. Left with no choice, the Patriarch of the Jing Family could only tell them about the notes left behind by the Early Ancestor. He informed them that this tower was named the Demon Sealing Tower.

 

However, the Early Ancestor had only left behind the notes but did not explain much back then.

 

As for why the tower even existed, he had no idea. Now, they could only contact the people of the Imperial Celestial Palace who were also there and ask them whether they were aware of something.

 

Nevertheless, they could not accept the Patriarch’s explanation.

 

If they did not even know what was sealed within the tower, why did the Early Ancestor leave behind the notes and tell his descendants not to open up the tower?

 

At this point, Jing Xiang’s parents could not care less about the consequences. They directly informed them of the assassination attempt against the Early Ancestor they had learned from Jing Xiang.

 

The person sealed within the Demon Sealing Tower was none other than the Early Ancestor of the Jing Family.

 

The Early Ancestor fell for the descendants’ trick and was confined inside the tower, becoming the source of nourishment for their cultivation.

 

No one knew whether the Early Ancestor was indeed the one who had left behind the notes. The Land of Eternity was probably a sham. The Ancestors who were told to enter the tower at a later time had become the source of nourishment for others just like the Early Ancestor.

 

This instantly caused a commotion. Many were dumbfounded upon hearing that.

 

The Patriarch and the Seniors of the Jing Family were rooted to the spot, suspecting that they had misheard him.

 

“If this is truly a sham, it’s a plot devised by the first few Ancestors of the Jing Family. The only solution now is to open up the tower and save the trapped Ancestors to shatter their plot.” Jing Xiang’s Father said solemnly. He swept a glance over them with an authoritative gaze.

 

The Patriarch was astounded upon hearing his statement. When he came to his senses, he was hesitant.

 

[A sham? Is this truly a sham? If this was not a sham, why didn’t the Early Ancestor specify what was sealed within the tower in his notes? Why couldn’t the Ancestors who arrived at a later time leave? Why were they also trapped inside the tower? If that was indeed the case, how would they explain why our people are madly trying to destroy the tower as though they had been fooled by some voice?]

 

Regardless of how the Patriarch and the others considered the matter, some had already started acknowledging the statement of Jing Xiang’s Father. They intended to open up the tower just like the others.

 

Dao Lights shot into the sky as though a new great world was about to be created in this place. Chaos Qi filled the air and covered the entire sky. Lightning struck and the earth burned as Yin and Yang intertwined with each other.

 

These powerful experts started launching their attacks. They were the mightiest beings of the Jing Family whose powers were inscrutable.

 

Their minds were not affected in any way. They simply found the words of Jing Xiang’s Father to be sensible and felt that this place was strange.

 

The only way now was to open up the tower and have a look inside.

 

Moreover, it was not like they had a choice. They could not harm those members of the Jing Family as those people were influenced by a mysterious force. They did not want to hurt the innocent.

 

Jing Xiang’s parents were making a move as well. They were worried Jing Xiang would fall into danger.

 

Both of them were powerful. A massive golden hand descended from the sky and repeatedly struck the Demon Sealing Tower, which continuously trembled as sparks were seen. It was as though the tower was about to come apart.

 

Immense energy exploded and swept across the entire Land of Eternity. Even though the people of the Imperial Celestial Palace were far away from them, they could still feel the anomaly.

 

Many Elders were dumbfounded, not knowing what was going on. They hurriedly used Eye Techniques to look into the distance.

 

The Land of Eternity was special. Other than broken World Principles, this place was also filled with a strange aura. Even Dao Realm experts could not look into the distance as their divine senses could not be extended.

 

Ling Yuxian noticed the anomaly in the distance as well, but she did not have time to be concerned about it.

 

She could feel her Older Sister’s aura in the depths of the Land of Eternity. Presently, she was seated in the void as her cheeks radiated a glow, which made her skin look as flawless as porcelain.

 

She was surrounded by many Elders of the Imperial Celestial Palace with solemn expressions. They were doing all they could to ensure her safety.

 

[Can you hear my voice? I’ve come to take you away.] Ling Yuxian kept calling out to her Older Sister in her mind with a frown. She was anxiously trying to contact her Older Sister and locate the place where the latter was asleep.

 

…

 

In the void, patterns that looked like meridians spread from Ling Yuxian. They turned into a golden path which could receive any living being from an unknown area.

 

The golden path was surrounded by Boundless Light, which illuminated the darkness around it.

 

It was as though this path was pointing in the right direction for Ling Yuxian.

 

The Elders of the Imperial Celestial Palace were shocked when they saw that. They had only read about such an ancient Reception Technique in some ancient books. They initially thought the art was lost. Much to their surprise, they were seeing it right before their eyes today.

 

“It’s rumoured that by using this ancient Reception Technique, even a person who has disappeared into the depths of the Boundless Expanse, a person who had forgotten his past, and lost all the coordinates, can still be brought back.”

 

Elder Jiu Lin could hardly conceal his shock. He was even more curious about Ling Yuxian’s identity and background.

 

Presently, in the depths of this universe, in the void that was always filled with the Aura of Darkness, a spring with a size that would allow dozens of people to surround it was floating in the void. It looked like an ancient well.

 

Wisps of cold air exuded from it as the fog spread in all directions.

 

A slender figure was faintly seen seated inside. Her skin was so flawless it was as though it was made from jade. Her face was blurred. Sometimes, she was covered in a gentle light, but sometimes, the Aura of Darkness could be seen sweeping through her.

 

When the slender woman heard Ling Yuxian’s voice, her eyelashes trembled as though she was trying to open them.

 

Nevertheless, dark lights descended from above the void and covered her face, ensuring that she could not open her eyes.

 

“I didn’t expect you to still have this card left. So, this the trump card you had left behind? Unfortunately, she’s too weak to bring your Soul back into your body.”

 

An arrogant laugh was heard reverberating across the place. The voice was filled with disdain and iciness.
