The Gate of Eternity was one of the first-generation Civilisation Supreme Treasures used to seal the Source of the Black Disaster and its Master. It was as great as the Mirror of Reincarnation and several other Supreme Treasures.

 

As far as Ling Yuxian was concerned, the secrets of finding the Land of Truth might be hidden within the Gate of Eternity.

 

The existence who forged the Gate of Eternity once said that the blueprint that came from the Land of Truth had the records of achieving eternal life.

 

In even older times, the Method to Transcendent, which caused a war over it in many worlds, seemed to have something to do with the Gate of Eternity as well.

 

Ling Yuxian learned this information after absorbing some memory fragments.

 

If she wanted to save her Older Sister, she had to gather enough people and break the Gate of Eternity’s seal. At the same time, she had to be cautious of the Gate of Eternity’s Artifact Spirit.

 

After all, even an existence like her Older Sister fell for the Artifact Spirit’s scheme. In the end, she had no choice but to seal the two of them together.

 

Many epochs had passed, and the Artifact Spirit had grown much stronger than before. Her Older Sister had no choice but to rouse her earlier and seek her help.

 

This was the reason Ling Yuxian awakened in this current generation.

 

The inside of the Gate of Eternity was a boundless universe. It was a world of its own without a boundary. There were even multiple Spacetimes. It was similar to the Boundless Expanse.

 

Although her Older Sister’s consciousness had been battling against the Artifact Spirit, she was running out of strength.

 

If the Artifact Spirit successfully devoured her Older Sister, it would become an independent life form and turn into a living being. It would no longer be an Artifact Spirit that depended on the Gate of Eternity.

 

Ling Yuxian had no idea what would happen by then, but her Older Sister would surely end up in a horrible state.

 

Apart from these matters, she wondered why her Older Sister’s will gave her a heads-up telling her to stay away from Gu Changge while seeking her help.

 

When she was absorbing the memory fragments earlier, some of her Spiritual Energy was restored, which allowed her to sense her Older Sister’s will.

 

Although her Older Sister was in the depths of the Gate of Eternity, she could still detect her current situation and her warning to be wary of Gu Changge.

 

She had never felt a sense of danger as intense as this. It was to the point where she felt a sharp pain between her brows again. She recalled the scene of getting penetrated by the light coming from a halberd again.

 

“He’s such a mysterious, unpredictable, and dangerous person. Did he mean it when he said he had no ill intentions against the Imperial Celestial Palace?” Ling Yuxian could finally calm down. While muttering under her breath, she stepped out of her Supreme Cave.

 

If Gu Changge also had memories from his past life and a powerful background just like herself, he was surely equally as unfathomable. Furthermore, since he was no ordinary person, no one could easily see through his thoughts.

 

She did not forget that when they were in the council hall, Gu Changge could still smile with composure when facing Ling Qiuchang’s intimidation.

 

Still, her Older Sister told her to be vigilant against Gu Changge. [Why is that?]

 

“We have to be cautious against him. Jing Xiao has gotten too close to him. This is dangerous.” Ling Yuxian let out an almost imperceptible sigh. She did not think that someone like Gu Changge would be interested in Jing Xiao.

 

Although she was young in this life, she was actually the second Founder of the Imperial Celestial Palace. Naturally, she could tell that Jing Xiao had fallen in love.

 

She could not tell much from the way Gu Changge treated Jing Xiao, but she had a feeling that it was merely appearances. Gu Changge must have an ulterior motive. He just gave off that dangerous feeling.

 

She did not want Jing Xiao to fall into a state of danger. In the past, she was on good terms with Jing Xiao, but everything changed when the incident happened that night in the Jing Family.

 

Jing Xiang came to express his feelings for her. It so happened that memories of her past life were streaming into her mind, causing her immense pain.

 

Nevertheless, she could not let Jing Xiang notice her anomaly and find out her secrets. Much to her chagrin, Jing Xiang still would not give up and kept pestering her after he was turned down.

 

She did not have any feelings for Jing Xiang. Left with no choice, she said such humiliating words to him, hoping that he would leave.

 

She did not expect that what she had said would cause Jing Xiao to fall out with her.

 

Jing Xiao regarded her as an opponent she had to defeat in the future to get revenge for her Brother.

 

But considering Ling Yuxian’s temperament, she would not take the initiative to explain anything because of such a matter.

 

Regardless of the reason, she would not eat her own words. She was not regretful of what happened after the incident.

 

She soon came to her senses. After retrieving some of her memories, she gave it some thought and went to see Ling Qiuchang.

 

The Jing Family behind Jing Xiao were actually the descendants of an old servant who served Ling Yuxian and her Older Sister. To prevent their enemies from retaliating against the Imperial Celestial Palace, they let the old servant become the Founder on paper, but she and her Older Sister were the true Founders.

 

Then, the Ancestor of the Jing Family obeyed her Older Sister’s order and took the sealed Gate of Eternity with him to look for a remote place and settle down.

 

The Jing Family had to guard the Gate of Eternity and strengthen the seal over the generations to prevent the Artifact Spirit from breaking free.

 

Her Older Sister suspected that the reason the Artifact Spirit developed a will of its own and its temperament changed drastically was when they were besieging the Master of the Source of the Black Disaster, the Artifact Spirit came into contact with one drop of his blood, which was why it was corroded by the darkness.

 

Those first-generation Civilisation Supreme Treasures were created to seal the Black Disaster that devastated the Boundless Expanse. Even if an Artifact Spirit was born, it was supposed to be honest and upright. Why would it pull a trick on someone who tried to refine it?

 

When Ling Yuxian found Ling Qiuchang, she directly revealed her identity and implicitly brought up the history and secrets of the Imperial Celestial Palace.

 

Upon learning all these, Ling Qiuchang was flabbergasted.

 

Who would have thought that the Founder surnamed Jing found in the records was only the old servant of the real Founders?

 

He always believed that the Jing Family his good friend hailed from held the true Bloodline of the Founder.

 

Then, Ling Yuxian informed him that her Older Sister was trapped in the place where the Jing Family resided. She also told him to contact the other important experts of the Imperial Celestial Palace.

 

She was worried that something unexpected might happen by then, so she intended to quietly move those needed.

 

The next day, Ling Qiuchang summoned the Elders again to have a discussion in the council hall.

 

He was more cautious this time. Other than the Elders, no Disciples were present except for Ling Yuxian.
