Jing Xiao’s Parents were fairly powerful. Although they were not as strong as the Palace Master of the Imperial Celestial Palace, Ling Qiuchang, they could be considered as some of the strongest in the Primary Hope Civilisation.

 

She was surprised that they had suddenly left the Jing Family at this point.

 

Ling Yuxian speculated that they had returned to the Land of the Jing Family.

 

[It probably has something to do with the news Ling Qiuchang had shared with them. We should’ve come here much earlier, and we would’ve been able to tag along…] She lightly shook her head.

 

Gu Changge was seated on a stone bench. As the aroma of tea permeated the air, he picked up the cup and took a sip. He could not help but be pleasantly surprised.

 

Jing Xiao had many things to tell him. Now that they had nothing else to do, she took the initiative to take Gu Changge to go on a stroll.

 

Upon hearing that, Ling Yuxian suddenly opened her eyes and looked in their direction. She stared fixedly at Gu Changge, trying to give him a warning.

 

However, Gu Changge ignored her. Faced with Jing Xiao’s expectant gaze, he nodded and said with a smile, “Since you’ve invited me so sincerely, I naturally won’t turn you down.”

 

Ling Yuxian snorted and closed her eyes, deciding to stop letting this matter bother her. She felt that Gu Changge did not take their agreement seriously.

 

[Does he think that he can find the Gate of Eternity on his own after arriving at the Land of the Jing Family? Without the Imperial Celestial Palace’s help, he can never acquire the Gate of Eternity.]

 

That land only occupied an area of several hundred kilometres, but it was finely built. Ordinary cultivators might not realise it, but Grand Spiritual Masters would know how extraordinary this place was.

 

This Heavenly Land was covered in a Celestial Mist and Divine Light.

 

Jing Xiao took Gu Changge on a stroll and told him some interesting incidents from her childhood.

 

She seemed to have forgotten about what Ling Yuxian had told her.

 

Gu Changge kept a smile on his face and patiently listened to her. He knew that Jing Xiao was trying to liven up the atmosphere to prepare for the questions she was about to ask him.

 

Jing Xiao was of no value to him. It would be better for her if they could talk things out so that she would stop wasting her time on him. It could also prevent her feelings from getting hurt further.

 

As for whether to sow discord between Ling Yuxian and her, it did not matter to Gu Changge.

 

Upon figuring out Ling Yuxian’s background, Gu Changge knew that she was not a threat to him. Her only use was to help him locate the Founder of the Imperial Celestial Palace so that he could find out where the Six Directions Heavenly Abyss was sealed.

 

It was an accident that Ling Yuxian got his identity wrong. He did not expect her to speculate in that direction.

 

Meanwhile, outside the library in the Capital of the Jing Kingdom, Jing Xiang squinted his eyes and looked at the Sun above him. He seemed expectant.

 

[It looks like I’ll find out many things today. Yesterday, the voice promised that he would tell me some of the truth.] He thought.

 

After he relentlessly probed the voice for a few days, the voice grew impatient. Finally, the voice told him who he was the day before.

 

He was none other than the Early Ancestor of the Jing Family.

 

Upon learning the truth, Jing Xiao was rooted to the spot. He was flabbergasted deep within.

 

He could not believe that such an inconceivable thing happened right before his eyes.

 

[The Early Ancestor of the Jing Family? It’s no wonder he knows so much about the Jing Family. But, as the Early Ancestor of the Jing Family, why is he so resentful of the Jing Family? Whenever the Juniors of the Jing Family are mentioned, he always speaks in a disdainful voice. Moreover, it seems like he has been trapped.]

 

Jing Xiang found these matters preposterous and difficult to understand. Therefore, he eagerly wanted to know all the secrets. The curse he carried did not seem so important now.

 

Soon, it was noon. The familiar Sun was right in the sky as its sunlight shone on all the people.

 

Jing Xiang found the familiar feeling and took the initiative to speak to the voice in his mind.

 

“You said you’re the Early Ancestor of the Jing Family. Why does it seem like you’re trapped in the Sun? Also, why do you know so much about my curse? Does it have anything to do with you?”

 

He directly asked that voice the questions he had. Upon hearing his words, the voice laughed scornfully and said, “As for why I’m trapped, you should ask those terrible descendants of mine. As for why I know so much about your curse? That’s because I was the one who created it. I did not expect it would strike an unlucky person like you.”

 

Jing Xiang was dumbfounded upon hearing that. He could not believe his ears.

 

At the mention of these matters, the voice became icy and furious.

 

“I initially founded the Jing Family to build a Force just like the Imperial Celestial Palace. I didn’t expect that some horrible Juniors would join hands and launch a sneak attack against me when I was badly injured following a battle with a powerful enemy. They intended to take control of my body and take all the Spiritual Energy I had spent countless years cultivating.

 

“My reputation was unrivalled at that time as countless people admired me. It never crossed my mind that my own descendants would betray me. Not only was my body almost destroyed, but I was also sealed off. For countless years, I’ve been a source of nourishment for them to use in cultivation. How laughable is that?”

 

An ancient secret was revealed as he narrated the tale. The ugly truth was presented right before Jing Xiang’s eyes.

 

He was rooted to the spot and could not come to his senses for a long time.
