The Elders of the Imperial Celestial Palace protected Ling Yuling and the others as they traversed to leave this place.

 

From afar, the people of the Jing Family noticed what was going on over there, and many of them moved as well.

 

After the Demon Sealing Tower was destroyed, the Ancestors of the Jing Family were set free. They heard from them about what had happened over the years. Although there had not been drastic changes, they were still shocked by the developments of the Jing Family.

 

Now, they were aware that the Early Ancestor had broken free from the Demon Sealing Tower, but it was a wonder where he was.

 

Members of the Jing Family were naturally eager to see the Early Ancestor, hoping to find out what had truly happened back then.

 

Jing Xiao and Jing Xiang had been following their Parents as they headed to the depths of the Land of Eternity alongside the Elders of the Jing Family.

 

Along the way, they came across people from the Imperial Celestial Palace who were returning.

 

Without hesitation, Jing Tianyuan showed up and revealed his identity to them.

 

When they finally saw the Early Ancestor after countless years, they were naturally thrilled, just like when the Elders of the Imperial Celestial Palace saw their Founder.

 

Jing Tianyuan calmed them down before telling them about the Demon Sealing Tower.

 

Certainly, his statement was the same as what Jing Xiang’s Parents had told the others. It was a secret about attempting to kill the Early Ancestor.

 

When talking about this matter, he could hardly conceal his sorrow and helplessness.

 

When they learned about this from the Early Ancestor, they were naturally shocked and furious. They did not expect the first few Ancestors to do such a thing.

 

The other Ancestors who had broken free from the Demon Sealing Tower were astounded as well.

 

They initially did not believe the statement when they heard about it, feeling that their Seniors would never commit such heinous acts.

 

But now, the Early Ancestor had acknowledged the statement to be true. They had no choice but to believe it.

 

Jing Tianyuan shook his head and explained that those Juniors could not be blamed.

 

They had been affected by the Aura of Darkness at that time, so they were no longer themselves. He had also almost lost his sanity. Most of the time, he had to pay a huge price to suppress himself and keep himself lucid.

 

Those Juniors were far weaker than he was, so it was understandable that they attempted to kill him after getting affected by the Aura of Darkness.

 

It was for this reason that he built the Demon Sealing Tower to seal them. He also left behind a warning that his descendants should never open up the tower. He was worried that the Aura of Darkness would spread and affect the Boundless Expanse.

 

When that happened, the consequences would be dire. The entire Jing Family would descend into chaos.

 

He did not need to explain to them how everyone in the Primary Hope Civilisation would deal with the remnants of the Black Disaster.

 

The remnants of the Black Disaster had never disappeared. They could not be eliminated so easily.

 

The Founder of the Imperial Celestial Palace had been trapped in this place to deal with the remnants of the Black Disaster as well.

 

Jing Tianyuan revealed the shocking secret to them while feeling melancholic.

 

Now, the background of the Demon Sealing Tower and the duties of the Jing Family became known to them.

 

All members of the Jing Family fell silent upon hearing his tale. They were flabbergasted deep within, not expecting the matter to have something to do with the remnants of the Black Disaster.

 

Ling Yuxian admired Jing Tianyuan’s determination.

 

Jing Tianyuan also did not conceal the background of Ling Yuxian and Ling Yuling. He informed them that they were the Founders of the Imperial Celestial Palace.

 

The two of them founded the Imperial Celestial Palace together, and it was named after Ling Yuxian.

(Silavin: 玉仙. Both Imperial Celestial Palace and Yuxian are from the same characters.)

 

In the epic battle back then, Ling Yuxian suffered irreversible damage and her Soul was almost destroyed. She had no choice but to go through reincarnation.

 

Meanwhile, he appeared hesitant when talking about Gu Changge. He did not explain it in detail. He only said that Gu Changge was a benefactor of the Jing Family.

 

It was thanks to Gu Changge that he could break free from the Demon Sealing Tower and regain his mental clarity. Also, it was thanks to his help that Ling Yuling could return to this world.

 

He did not mention anything about Gu Changge’s identity and background. The Elders of the Jing Family were tactful enough not to ask any questions.

 

Only Jing Xiang and Jing Xiao looked at Gu Changge with conflicted gazes. They were worried about different things.

 

Jing Xiang recalled his experience in the Demon Sealing Tower. Things had come to a point where he could only keep these secrets to himself.

 

On the other hand, Jing Xiao realised the difference between their identities. She reckoned that Gu Changge was a reincarnated cultivator who carried with him accumulated wisdom just like Ling Yuxian.

 

Outside the Land of Eternity, the portal opened up again. People of the Imperial Celestial Palace and members of the Jing Family left the place.

 

The Land of Eternity was made from a fragment of a universe. Now that it was no longer useful, it would disappear from the world so that the secrets of the past would be forgotten.

 

The Elders of the Jing Family condensed Chaos Energy to engulf the place.

 

Tremendous energy surged as they unleashed their full power. Such a strike could easily destroy a Great Universe.

 

Grand Runes flickered and ignited, as mighty fire flames to burn everything.

 

The ancient battleships of the Imperial Celestial Palace appeared from the void as they radiated light. They looked like floating ancient continents that could carry countless people.

 

As Ling Yuling and the others returned to the battleship, they calmly watched everything from a distance.

 

Gu Changge and Jing Tianyuan stood somewhere else and watched the scene in silence as well. From now on, the secret that the Jing Family had been guarding over the years would turn into dust and dissipate.

 

News about the Gate of Eternity would also disappear from the world following the destruction of the Land of Eternity.

 

Such a plot would thus not affect Gu Changge in any way.

 

After all, the Gate of Eternity was not that useful to him now. It was merely a First-Generation Supreme Treasure, which he might or might not need to use in the future. It could nevertheless be considered part of his collection.

 

Now, he had to consider other ways to find the whereabouts of the Six Directions Heavenly Abyss from Ling Yuling.

 

He felt that Ling Yuling had already detected something when they were in that space of pure darkness. She was clever enough to pretend to not know anything. She played along with his act in an attempt to fool him.

 

However, Gu Changge had already seen through her. It was just that he did not expose her.

 

He wanted to know what her plan was and what she would do next. Perhaps he could draw out the bigger fish by using her?

 

Furthermore, he wanted to find out if Ling Yuling was aware of his identity. Or, she was merely vigilant and doubtful.

 

Ling Yuxian had explained that her Older Sister was injured when she joined forces with the others to besiege the Master of the Black Disaster, after which she fell for the Spirit of Eternity’s trick.

 

That was how Gu Changge recalled that Ling Yuling was one of those people who had besieged him. Otherwise, he would have completely forgotten about her.
