The Land of the Jing Family was not in any of the worlds. It was a space opened up in the Meru Spacetime. Only when the Sun was up in the sky at noon would some of its aura be revealed.

 

During that time, they just had to trace the aura and locate the Land of the Jing Family.

 

By then, they had to join forces to push the gate open and enter the Land of the Jing Family.

 

Jing Xiang informed Jing Xiao and the others what he had learned from the Early Ancestor. Naturally, he told them it was a record he found in the library.

 

Ling Yuxian and Jing Xiao knew these were all excuses. They pondered on the record he had mentioned.

 

“It seems that things are quite troublesome. I thought it would be easy to enter the Land of the Jing Family.” Jing Xiao frowned.

 

Ling Yuxian fell into her thoughts as well.

 

She felt that something was off. Why were there so many steps needed to enter the Land of the Jing Family? They had to find the aura coming from the Land of the Jing Family at noon and join forces to push the gate open?

 

The Land of the Jing Family was truly well hidden.

 

If she knew it was so troublesome, she would have asked the Elders of the Imperial Celestial Palace who had contacted the Jing Family to keep them waiting until everyone was present before heading to the Jing Family.

 

That way, even though they would waste some time, it would not be as troublesome as right now.

 

Gu Changge seemed surprised as well. He took a look at Ling Yuxian, knowing what was on her mind. Then, he said with a smile, “It’s indeed troublesome. Why don’t we keep waiting until Junior Sister Jing Xiao’s Parents or the Elders who had contacted the Jing Family come back?”

 

Ling Yuxian shot him a look and shook her head. “We can’t keep waiting. We’re running out of time. If we continue waiting here, we’ll be wasting time.”

 

She was worried that her Older Sister could no longer hold on. Therefore, she had to rush to the Land of the Jing Family and look for the Gate of Eternity.

 

Gu Changge nodded. “In that case, we’ll do as you’ve just said.”

 

Ling Yuxian dipped her head and intended to return to the ancient battleship to contact the Elders of the Imperial Celestial Palace.

 

Jing Xiang suddenly seemed eager just then. He told Jing Xiao that he wanted to go to the Land of the Jing Family as well. After all, he was also a part of the Jing Family. He wanted to see how glorious their Family was.

 

Jing Xiao seemed conflicted. Her Parents must have a reason for not telling Jing Xiang about the affairs of their Family. Furthermore, Jing Xiang was not a cultivator. If they fell into danger while trying to rescue the Founder, how was he supposed to protect himself?

 

Ling Yuxian furrowed her brows, not expecting him to come up with such a request at this point.

 

She instinctively wanted to turn him down to prevent unnecessary trouble.

 

Just then, Gu Changge interrupted her and said with a smile, “It’s thanks to Brother Jing Xiang that we’ve found the way to enter the Land of the Jing Family. Otherwise, we would’ve wasted a lot of time. In that case, why don’t we let him tag along?”

 

Jing Xiang was elated, not expecting Gu Changge to take his side at this point.

 

Although he was displeased with Gu Changge because Ling Yuxian always paid more attention to him, he had to acknowledge that it was his problem, not that of Gu Changge. He felt slightly guilty.

 

Humans get jealous, and he was no exception.

 

Jing Xiao nodded and said, “Since Senior Brother Gu has said so, Big Brother should follow us. But, you have to stay by our side at all times. Otherwise, no one can protect you if you fall into danger.”

 

Ling Yuxian stared fixedly at Gu Changge.

 

She did not know if it was just instinctual, but she had a feeling that Gu Changge was aware of something, which was why he kept taking Jing Xiang’s side. Nevertheless, she did not have any evidence.

 

The Land of the Jing Family was located in a universe opened up by the Grand Spiritual Masters in the past.

 

Several ten thousand ley lines congregated in the centre. All sorts of blessings were abundant. The essence of the universe was thick there, and the Divine Light shone brightly as ever on this magnificent land.

 

The Land of the Jing Family had many ancient mountains as well as a large number of islands and lakes. The mountains and lakes were always adjacent to each other. The waterfalls were so massive that it was as though they were falling from the Nine Realms.

 

Every area was vast and many of their Family members cultivating. In one of the most splendid palaces in the centre, the most prestigious members of the Jing Family had gathered.

 

Other than that, several old ancient beings with blurred faces were also present.

 

They looked authoritative with their hands behind their backs. Their robes were embroidered with the mark of the Imperial Celestial Palace.

 

“I didn’t expect that the Jing Family and the Founder of the Imperial Celestial Palace would have so many karmic connections…”

 

The people in this palace were the core members of the Jing Family. As such, they had the right to know the secrets of the Imperial Celestial Palace and the Jing Family.

 

Jing Xiang’s Parents were also present along with the other core members of the Jing Family. They were flabbergasted deep within.

 

Initially, they did not know why so many of the Jing Family members were summoned to the Land of the Jing Family.

 

Anyway, the Imperial Celestial Palace and the Jing Family were indeed closely related. In every generation, they would send some Disciples to the Imperial Celestial Palace.

 

Jing Xiang’s Parents used to stay in the Imperial Celestial Palace for some time. It was during that period that they got to know Ling Qiuchang and became good friends with him.

 

“We’ve only found out about it recently. Since the Founder is about to return, we have no choice but to discuss this issue with all of you. The Ancient Seniors of the Imperial Celestial Palace have also awakened and exited seclusion, ready to welcome the Founder back.”

 

An old man with black hair but a wrinkled face spoke. His gaze was as dark as ink.

 

He was one of those Ancient Seniors of the Imperial Celestial Palace with an inscrutable cultivation. He had come to the Jing Family in advance for a discussion upon receiving the order.

 

Needless to say, people who were ‘Seniors’ to him were surely even more powerful.

 

The Jing Family members in this place were astounded.

 

“We have a rule in the Jing Family that we should always prioritise the needs of the Imperial Celestial Palace. It seems that the Early Ancestor had already expected it a long time ago. The Founder they are about to welcome back could be said to be our Founder as well. All of us from the Jing Family will fully collaborate with the Imperial Celestial Palace.” Said the current Patriarch of the Jing Family.

 

He was aware of many secrets, so he was not surprised by what this Ancient Senior of the Imperial Celestial Palace had said.

 

Upon hearing that, the Ancient Seniors of the Imperial Celestial Palace were pleased.

 

“It seems that the Founder had left behind a descendant in the past. It was not until the descendant had awakened that we found out the Founder is still alive.” Said an old man with a smile. He was a graceful person with white hair and a white beard. He was another respectable Ancient Senior.
