Gu Changge noticed Jing Xiang following him, but he only smiled and did not care.

 

He moved past everyone as though merging with the void. No one would notice him even though he was among these people.

 

The entire Demon Sealing Tower radiated a green glow. Chaos Energy fell from the top of the tower like a waterfall. Connected with Heaven and Earth, it seemed to stand in the depths of the universe.

 

The world was filled with a dark haze as all hell broke loose.

 

Gu Changge moved past everyone as though he was an outsider. He was like a wandering Soul who attempted to directly enter the tower.

 

When Jing Xiang saw that from behind, he was rooted to the spot. He had no idea why all of them seemed unable to see Gu Changge. They just let him approach the tower.

 

“Wait for me, Senior Brother Gu.” Jing Xiang gritted his teeth. He did not know where he got the courage to follow the mysterious Gu Changge.

 

He ignored all those who were in battles. When his parents realised his intention, their eyes widened in disbelief as they hurriedly called out to him to stop him from entering the tower.

 

However, He did not care.

 

At this moment, he summoned all his energy and ran towards the faintly visible portal. He ignored everything else and crashed into the tower.

 

Ripples spread across the surface of the tower in silence before disappearing.

 

When Jing Xiang saw Gu Changge disappearing into the tower, he imitated him and did the same.

 

As for what the consequences would be, that was the last of his concerns. At that moment, he felt as if he had penetrated a water screen and fallen into the water. The pressure almost suffocated him.

 

For some reason, a gentle power suddenly appeared and engulfed him, which allowed him to recover.

 

“Thanks, Senior Brother Gu.” Jing Xiang was pale. He was still reeling from the shock when he recalled that all his organs were almost crushed earlier.

 

A Mortal like him was not supposed to enter this place. The omnipresent pressure pressed against him like a mountain. It could potentially turn him into mashed meat.

 

Fortunately, the gentle power appeared quickly and eased his discomfort.

 

Jing Xiang reckoned that Gu Changge had lent him a hand. After all, when he was following him earlier, Gu Changge turned his head to look at him with a meaningful smile.

 

The space within the tower was vastly different from what it seemed on the outside.

 

Jing Xiang felt as if he was inside a palace that was covered in a mist. The place was spacious and luxuriously built. There did not seem to be an end as the entire area was blurred by a mist.

 

There were a total of eigthteen floors. He felt that he was on the first floor, but he could not see anything else. He did not see the Ancestors who were trapped in the tower.

 

Nevertheless, he could feel there was a faint figure who was walking slowly in front of him. He knew the person must be Gu Changge. As such, he hurriedly followed him without hesitation.

 

Meanwhile, outside the Demon Sealing Tower, Jing Xiang’s parents were dumbfounded. They could not believe what they had just seen. [Why are you so foolish, Xiang’er?]

 

They did not expect that Jing Xiang would suddenly rush towards the tower as though he had gone mad. He then crashed into the portal and disappeared.

 

They donned dark expressions while feeling sorrowful deep within. In their opinion, the mysterious tower was not as holy as it appeared to be.

 

Otherwise, why couldn’t the Ancestors of the Jing Family who had entered the tower leave? Although Jing Xiang could not become a cultivator, nor was he like Jing Xiao who would soon ascend to the Immortal King Realm at a young age, he was their son, and they loved him very much.

 

However, Jing Xiang barged into the tower just like that. They felt it was no different from asking for death.

 

“Brother…” Jing Xiao was dumbfounded as well.

 

She did not expect Jing Xiang to suddenly bolt into the tower as though he had gone mad.

 

“Did Xiang’er do such a thing because he was fooled by the voice?”

 

Jing Xiang’s Mother felt the world spinning around her. She could hardly stand stably.

 

Jing Xiao hurriedly supported her weight with a worried expression.

 

Jing Xiang’s Father donned a solemn expression. He could not figure out the reason.

 

“In that case, we have to open up the tower if we want to save Xiang’er. If this drags on, Xiang’er won’t be able to survive for long, considering his power. Moreover, we don’t even know what kind of danger lies inside the tower,” he said seriously.

 

He was initially hesitant about how he should deal with the matter. However, after Jing Xiang suddenly barged into the tower, he no longer had any other choice.

 

Around the Demon Sealing Tower, members of the Jing Family were battling against each other even though they were from the same clan.

 

It was useless for the Patriarch and the others to try to stop them.

 

Moreover, Jing Xiang’s parents had taken the initiative to ask some questions. They felt that the Patriarch and the others were aware of the tower’s secrets, but they refused to tell them about it.

 

Now, their own people were harming each other because of what they were hiding.

 

The Patriarch and the Seniors felt helpless. They could only explain that it was an order left behind by the Early Ancestor. His descendants should never open up the tower regardless of what happened.

 

As for why the descendants had to come to the Land of Eternity or what they had to guard, he had no idea. He did not want to see this kind of outcome either. He did not know why such a thing even happened.

 

This was giving the Patriarch and the others a headache. The problem was so thorny that they did not know how to solve it.

 

Should they make a move against their own people? Or, should they open up the Demon Sealing Tower?

 

More and more Jing Family members felt something was off. A mysterious force seemed to have appeared and started affecting their minds.

 

Terrified, they started asking the Patriarch and the others about the tower’s secrets as well.

 

Even more were fearful as they had the urge to leave.

 

In their opinion, this was not the Land of Eternity. It was more like a cage in Hell.
