Ling Qiuchang was not willing to probe Gu Changge for his background. In his opinion, they were lucky to have a Disciple like him in the Imperial Celestial Palace.

 

Although Gu Changge came from a powerful background, he indeed seem to have no ill intentions against the Imperial Celestial Palace, considering the current situation. Moreover, they were in the depths of the Imperial Celestial Palace where there were many mighty cultivators with incredible might. Even if Gu Changge intended to do something, he could not kick up a storm.

 

When Gu Changge returned to the island where the Disciples of the Xian Yun Practice Grounds stayed, he was surprised to see Jing Xiao there. She was still clad in a pink dress. Her hair swayed with the wind, and her skin was as flawless as porcelain. She was holding a sword made from jade. It seemed that she had been waiting for his return.

 

Upon registering his presence, Jing Xiao put on a faint smile and went over. She was slightly meek as though she felt bashful about waiting for Gu Changge there. During this period, she had come to look for him several times, but when she learned that he was busy cultivating, she would leave so that she would not disturb him.

 

When she came over that day, she learned that the Palace Master had summoned Gu Changge. After giving it some thought, she decided to wait there.

 

“Senior Brother Gu.” Jing Xiao took the initiative to speak. After she told Gu Changge about her background and her grudges with Ling Yuxian the other day, she did not have a chance to spend some time with him alone.

 

Although only a few days had passed, she felt like it had been years. She was not used to it. Even when she was meditating, she could not empty her mind.

 

She had no idea what was going on. Whenever she closed her eyes, scenes of her conversations with Gu Changge would spring into her mind.

 

Gu Changge put on a gentle smile and asked, “Why are you here, Junior Sister?”

 

Jing Xiao did not hesitate to tell him that she had been waiting for him.

 

After several days of not seeing him, she realised she missed him. Since she had some questions about cultivation, she decided to seek his guidance.

 

Gu Changge did not turn her down. He took a stroll with her and talked about his insights on cultivation just like in the past. Jing Xiao was curious about why the Palace Master had summoned Gu Changge, so she asked him about it. After some deliberation, Gu Changge did not hide it from her. He said that it was Ling Yuxian who wanted to see him, not the Palace Master.

 

“Why would Ling Yuxian want to see you?” Jing Xiao was startled. When she recalled that Ling Yuxian sized up Gu Changge from time to time in the council hall back then, she felt uncomfortable.

 

Although the female Disciples of the Xian Yun Practice Grounds frequently surrounded Gu Changge and spoke to him, Jing Xiao did not care at all. In her opinion, those female Disciples were just daydreaming. Gu Changge was a mysterious man with an inscrutable might. Naturally, he was not interested in those women.

 

However, Ling Yuxian was different. She was around the same age as Jing Xiao, but she was more powerful, more talented, and more beautiful. On the other hand, Gu Changge’s aptitude, appearance, and temperament were unrivalled. Based on her understanding of Ling Yuxian, she knew that the latter would not fall in love with Gu Changge just like the other female Disciples.

 

Still, she felt uncomfortable deep within. Pretending to be nonchalant, she asked calmly, “Why did Ling Yuxian want to see you?”

 

Gu Changge smiled. It seemed that he was not aware of the reason either. “Perhaps she’s curious about my identity and power.”

 

“She’s curious about you?” Jing Xiao arched her brows.

 

She felt that something was off about his statement, but she did not probe him further.

 

After learning about the Founder’s imminent return, the Elders of the Imperial Celestial Palace started preparing for it.

 

Ling Qiuchang gave the orders and mobilised all the people in the Imperial Celestial Palace who could help.

 

At the same time, he sought help from those powerful experts in seclusion. That was because he learned from Ling Yuxian that the place where the Founder was trapped in was special. They needed a lot of people, each one strong.

 

However, Ling Yuxian still had not told him where the Founder was.

 

As a result, Ling Qiuchang and the others could only get prepared and wait patiently.

 

…

 

In a Supreme Cave that was covered in a mist and iridescent light, Ling Yuxian was seated cross-legged on a jade bed with her hands placed on her knees. Although her eyes were closed, her brows were knitted together. It was as though she was in pain.

 

There was a fist-sized light that kept flickering in front of her eyebrows, which illuminated her face. Fragments of the Great Dao seemed to be intertwining with each other in the flickering light.

 

Every fragment carried a part of her memories as they were continuously restructured.

 

At the same time, a figure was faintly seen seated cross-legged. She was shrouded in a Celestial Mist, and her authority seemed to transcend everything in the world. She was like the Ancestor of all Immortals.

 

“I’ll help you break free, Big Sister.”

 

A long time later, the flickering light dissipated, and Ling Yuxian opened her eyes.

 

She muttered under her breath. Her gaze seemed conflicted and penetrating.

 

The Founder who had founded the Imperial Celestial Palace was none other than her Older Sister. To be accurate, both of them were the Founders. She only found out about it after retrieving some of her memories just now.

 

In the past, she did not know about her relationship with the Founder of the Imperial Celestial Palace . She wondered why she could sense the Founder’s existence and knew that the latter was trapped and needed her help.

 

Now, she finally understood what had happened. She had an older Twin Sister. They shared the same Source and their Souls were almost identical. Although they were twins, they were like one person.

 

There was a telepathic connection between them. Regardless of their distance, they could detect each other’s existence and know what was on each other’s minds.

 

It was for this reason that Ling Yuxian found out her Older Sister had been trapped.

 

In the final battle against the Master of the Source of the Black Disaster, she was badly wounded and almost lost her life.

 

In the end, her Older Sister paid a huge price to save her Soul, preventing it from dissipating.

 

One had to know that her Soul was penetrated by a beam at that time. The repercussions even made the Great Dao evaporate. Any other person in the same cultivation realm would have died right there and then.

 

Thanks to her unique Physique that allowed her to have an ample amount of Life Force, she survived that attack.

 

The Master of the Source of the Black Disaster was so mighty that his existence itself was inconceivable. No words could describe how powerful he truly was.

 

An existence like him could never be killed. Even a nonchalant attack from him could easily kill any cultivator in the world.

 

Although Ling Yuxian survived, her abilities and cultivation were mostly gone.

 

By relying on her broken Soul, she reconstructed her body with her Older Sister’s help. Then, she went through reincarnation and was sealed, so that she would be reborn and reach the pinnacle again.

 

To help her quickly achieve that, her Older Sister took a huge risk to snatch a Civilisation Supreme Treasure named the Gate of Eternity.

 

She was powerless against so many enemies, so she could only take the Gate of Eternity with her and snuck into the depths of Spacetime.

 

Since she was badly injured, she decided to refine the Gate of Eternity to control it. Much to her surprise, she fell into the trap of the Gate of Eternity’s Artifact Spirit.

 

To prevent getting devoured by the Gate of Eternity’s Artifact Spirit, her Older Sister could only use the most extreme way. She sealed herself along with the Artifact Spirit inside it. If Ling Yuxian wanted to save her Older Sister, the only way was to open up the Gate of Eternity and break the seal.
