They had not seen each other for a few years, but the reunion was not as joyful as Jing Xiang had imagined. Instead, he felt displeased because of Gu Changge’s presence.

 

After so many years, he discovered that his Little Sister did not care much about him. Instead, all her attention was on Gu Changge.

 

Even Ling Yuxian argued with her over this matter.

 

In Jing Xiang’s heart, Ling Yuxian was graceful, independent, and dispassionate. She was like a deity who should not be in the Mortal world.

 

Why would she argue with anyone over a man? What was more, the person was his Little Sister.

 

Furthermore, the man was elegant and handsome. He looked like someone who had walked out of a painting. He and Ling Yuxian were like a perfect match made in Heaven.

 

Given his upbringing, Jing Xiang did not show his emotions on his face, but the way he acted revealed how displeased he was.

 

Jing Xiao realised what was on her Older Brother’s mind, so she felt apologetic.

 

Since all her focus was on Gu Changge, it was inevitable that she neglected him. She decided to talk about her experience and interesting events at the Imperial Celestial Palace over the years.

 

Jing Xiang felt much better. He then asked them why they were in the Jing Kingdom.

 

Jing Xiao did not hide anything from him. She had come back to look for their Parents, but she learned that they had left home to visit an old friend. Therefore, she wanted to ask him where their Parents were.

 

Jing Xiang could not answer the question, as even he did not know the answer either.

 

Before their Parents departed, they had told him they were going to visit an old friend and would be away from home for quite some time.

 

However, they did not tell him which friend it was.

 

Just then, Jing Xiang recalled what the voice had told him. After some hesitation, he said, “Our Parents have probably gone to the Land of the Jing Family.”

 

The Jing Family had been around for a long time, and they had the hidden Land of the Jing Family. No one else was aware of it, not even Jing Xiao.

 

Jing Xiao was shocked upon hearing that. “The Land of the Jing Family? Do you know something, Older Brother?”

 

Jing Xiang looked at her. After giving it some thought, he said, “I’ve been going through the ancient books in the royal palace during this period and have discovered something. I believe that they have returned to the Land of the Jing Family. Something major has probably happened. The Land of the Jing Family is not in this world. It’s located somewhere in the Meru Space. Outsiders can never find it.”

(Silavin: ‘Meru Space’ is a concept from Hinduism/Buddism, we can call it Central Plane as well.)

 

The voice had told him all of these things. However, he could only say that he had learned such information from the books in the library of the royal palace.

 

“Are those records found in the royal palace? I had read many ancient books in the library, but I don’t remember seeing such information.” Jing Xiao was doubtful.

 

Jing Xiang nodded calmly. “Perhaps you didn’t notice it at that time. Moreover, you left many years ago. Some new books might have been added to the library.”

 

Jing Xiao did not doubt his statement.

 

On the other hand, Ling Yuxian suddenly gave Jing Xiang a meaningful look.

 

This was a top secret of the Jing Family. Since even Jing Xiao was not aware of it, why would it be found in the books?

 

[Where did Jing Xiang get this information from? Did he figure it out on his own?]

 

“The major incident at the Imperial Celestial Palace has something to do with the Early Ancestor of the Jing Family. We’ve come to the Jing Kingdom to ask our Parents where the Land of the Jing Family is. We don’t want to waste our time in the West State.” Jing Xiao explained to Jing Xiang what was going on.

 

Jing Xiang was startled upon hearing that. He did not expect that they were here for the Land of the Jing Family.

 

Moreover, it was inconceivable that the Early Ancestor of the Jing Family had something to do with the Imperial Celestial Palace.

 

Jing Xiang reckoned that if they were going to the Land of the Jing Family, he could also tag along.

 

He was always eager to resolve the curse and become a cultivator just like everyone else. Now, he was tempted.

 

At the thought of this, Jing Xiang hesitated for a moment before saying, “As for the location of the Land of the Jing Family, I can look it up in the ancient books. I might be able to help you.”

 

He intended to ask the Early Ancestor about it at noon. The Early Ancestor was supposed to know where the Land of the Jing Family was.

 

By then, he could come up with an excuse so that they would take him with them.

 

As long as he could find the Land of the Jing Family, he would have a chance to search for the place where the Early Ancestor was sealed and ask him to help resolve the curse.

 

Jing Xiao was already surprised that her Older Brother was aware of the Land of the Jing Family. What was even more surprising was that he could find out where the Land of the Jing Family’s location was.

 

Just as she was ready to ask him some questions, Gu Changge, who had been sipping tea in silence, suddenly smiled and said, “It’d be best if you could lend us a hand, Brother Jing Xiang.”

 

He directly approved of it.

 

Ling Yuxian shot Gu Changge a meaningful look, trying to find out what was on his mind.

 

Jing Xiang did not have a good impression of Gu Changge, but his attitude turned milder after Gu Changge directly agreed to it. He was no longer so hostile.

 

“In that case, I’ll head to the royal palace tomorrow. Xiao’er, since you and Yuxian are finally back, I’ll ask Ling’er and the others to prepare dinner for you.” Jing Xiang put on a smile. Upon finishing his words, he turned around and left.

 

Jing Xiao nodded and swept a glance over Ling Yuxian before taking Gu Changge to a different courtyard.

 

Ling Yuxian had lived here for some time, so she did not need Jing Xiao to lead the way for her. She directly returned to the courtyard she used to live in.

 

During dinner, Ling Yuxian and Jing Xiao did not have any intention of talking to each other.

 

Although Jing Xiang wanted to speak to Ling Yuxian, the latter had only been drinking and eating in silence with an impassive gaze.

 

He was crestfallen deep within, but there was nothing he could do.

 

Gu Changge did not attend the dinner party with the excuse of having to cultivate.

 

…

 

In a courtyard covered in a mist, where all the Heavenly Secrets had disappeared, an ancient mirror appeared before his eyes and showed him the changes in different parts of the Primary Hope Civilisation.

 

Billions of Spacetimes away, people like Zhuo Fengxie and Hun Yuanjun were heading to the Primary Hope Civilisation following Gu Changge’s order.

 

Presently, Di Kun was in a favourable position in the Beast Court. Upon receiving the order from the Beast Ancestor, Di Li, he gathered many Beasts and headed to the border of Land of Celestial Suffering.

 

Countless soldiers were intimidating as they traversed across the universe. They were determined to destroy Chu Gucheng on his birthday.

 

In short, a great war was about to break out.

 

In Land of Celestial Suffering, the chess piece that Gu Changge had left behind was taking effect.

 

On a peak in the Imperial Celestial Palace’s territory, Ye Suyi, who was getting some training, came across a woman in purple clothes. All her resentment and fury accumulated over the years spurted out like a volcanic eruption.
