The Five Rivers of Heaven included the River of Fortuity, the River of Destiny, the River of Destruction, the River of Tribulations, and the River of Finality.

 

It was said that those five rivers were formed when the world was still in a chaotic and primordial state. They represented everything that people over the generations had to go through as well as the tangible and intangible starting points and end points.

 

All of these Five Rivers of Heaven were mysterious and elusive. Among them, the River of Destiny was the most well known. It controlled the destinies of all living beings and substances in the world. It represented the unpredictable nature of developments and transformations.

 

The River of Destruction was intricately linked to the River of Fatality. It represented the end of everything in the world.

 

Every living being would come into contact with the River of Destruction in their lifetime. When the River of Destruction flowed through them, it meant the end of everything.

 

Therefore, no living being could see the River of Destruction and still be alive. When the River of Destruction arrived, all the substances and existences would be destroyed, let alone living beings.

 

The Sect Master of Purple Sky Mountain had never seen the River of Destruction either. When he was looking into the ancient rumours, he found out that the existence of Entanglement Immortal Might had something to do with the River of Destruction.

 

An expert once saw the trace of the River of Destruction, where he found the Entanglement Immortal Might which had been left behind.

 

Certainly, it was merely a rumour. The Sect Master of Purple Sky Mountain had no idea whether it was true.

 

The more powerful he was, the higher he stood. That was when he discovered how insignificant he was.

 

He could not even imagine what kind of being could even create something like the Entanglement Immortal Might.

 

Although the Primary Hope Civilisation was already one of the most powerful in the Boundless Expanse, they still could not figure out the Truth of the world.

 

Before the birth of Primary Hope Civilisation, there were even older eras. No one could imagine how glorious those eras were.

 

The Immortals and Gods were as bright as stars. The Human prodigies were incredibly brilliant as well.

 

At the thought of this, the Sect Master of Purple Sky Mountain was full of respect. He always revered everything left behind from the ancient eras.

 

Gu Changge had no idea what was going on at Purple Sky Mountain. He did not even know how the Entanglement Immortal Might ended up in Purple Sky Mountain.

 

If not for the fact that he could detect Chan Hongyi’s aura was still in the River of Time in the Prosperous Dao True World of the past, he would have suspected that she had used a trick to fool everyone, including him, and disrupted the Primary Hope Civilisation’s past and made some arrangements.

 

However, the Primary Hope Civilisation was a Supreme Civilisation. If one wanted to traverse across the River of Time, the price one had to pay would be horrifying.

 

Even Gu Changge would not wish to incur such costs. He did not think Chan Hongyi was capable of doing that.

 

In a Cave Mansion that was covered in an iridescent light, he fell into his thoughts with his hands behind his back. A white-haired old man was respectfully reporting something to him behind him.

 

“Young Master, the surname of the Founder of the Imperial Celestial Palace is Jing. However, there isn’t any Bloodline in the Imperial Celestial Palace with the surname Jing. As far as I’m concerned, none of the Elders are surnamed Jing either. There are some younger Disciples with the surname Jing, though.”

 

The white-haired old man was the Headmaster of the Imperial Celestial Academy in Tai Yuan Ancient Territory. He was an Immortal Emperor. Nevertheless, his life was fully under Gu Changge’s hand, so he would naturally obey the latter’s orders.

 

“There isn’t even an Elder surnamed Jing?” Gu Changge shook his head while feeling doubtful. He initially thought that he could find some clues by thoroughly going through all the details.

 

Much to his surprise, the Founder of the Imperial Celestial Palace was so determined that he even erased himself from the history of the Imperial Celestial Palace. He also stopped contacting anyone from the Imperial Celestial Palace.

 

That way, it was impossible for Gu Changge to trace the karma and find out the whereabouts of the Founder of the Imperial Celestial Palace.

 

The Headmaster of the Imperial Celestial Academy dipped his head. There was a doubtful expression on his wrinkled face. “Sir, I’ve gathered some information according to what you’ve said, but things are different from what you’ve heard.”

 

“Oh, what’s different?” Gu Changge glanced at him.

 

The Headmaster of the Imperial Celestial Academy respectfully explained, “The most brilliant cultivator of the current generation in the Imperial Celestial Palace, Ling Yuxian, had gotten into a conflict with a female Disciple named Jing Xiao. It caused a commotion at that time. They got into a battle. In the end, Ling Yuxian held back her power and never hurt the female Disciple.”

 

“The female disciple named Jing Xiao seems to have a powerful background, so she was not punished. The current Palace Master of the Imperial Celestial Palace even summoned her. Otherwise, Jing Xiao would’ve been punished for battling against Ling Yuxian, considering the latter’s identity.”

 

He accidentally found out about it when he was asking around for any Elders surnamed Jing in the Imperial Celestial Palace.

 

The female Disciple surnamed Jing Xiao seemed to have a mysterious background. The Headmaster looked into it and discovered nothing.

 

The only thing he knew was that Jing Xiao came from a small country named the Jing Kingdom in the West State.

 

The West State was located in Magnificent Sun Ancient Territory. Compared with the Magnificent Sun Ancient Territory, the West State was only a small place where there were hundreds of kingdoms. The Jing Kingdom was only one of them.

 

The female Disciple named Jing Xiao came from such a negligible background.

 

She could be said to be ordinary or even insignificant among the Disciples of the Imperial Celestial Palace, but the Palace Master summoned her.

 

Just like Purple Sky Mountain and Towering Divine Cave, Imperial Celestial Palace was also a Supreme Force in the Primary Hope Civilisation. As such, the most brilliant cultivator of the current generation of such a Supreme Force was important.

 

Even people like Zi Yunchuan and Zi Susu were not touted as the most brilliant cultivators of the current generation at Purple Sky Mountain.

 

Ling Yuxian, which the Headmaster had mentioned, was a living legend at the Imperial Celestial Palace. No one was a match for her. She was like a mountain hovering above everyone else.

 

Even the talented young cultivators of other Supreme Forces would be astounded and feel immensely pressured when her name was brought up.

 

There were many rumours about Ling Yuxian. Some said she was an ancient monster that had been sealed within the Imperial Celestial Palace for a long time. She became the most powerful cultivator among her peers in the Primary Hope Civilisation in the Ancient Epoch. Then, in the next ten generations, she continued to be peerless among the cultivators of her times.

 

Some said she was a descendant of the current Palace Master of the Imperial Celestial Palace. She was gifted, but she had been hidden from the public since a young age. It was not until recently that she was allowed to show up.

 

The conflict between Jing Xiao and Ling Yuxian started because of a secret in the past. However, the Headmaster of the Imperial Celestial Academy could not find out what secret it was regardless of how hard he tried.

 

He speculated that the Elders of the Imperial Celestial Palace had stopped the news from spreading and barred the Disciples from discussing it.
