Gu Changge suddenly brought with him a black-robed old man whom they found unfamiliar at this critical moment. It was only natural that they were vigilant.

 

Ling Yuxian was at the most important moment of saving the Founder, so she must not be disrupted by any outsider.

 

“Greetings, Fellow Cultivators. I’m Jing Tianyuan.” The black-robed old man was none other than the Early Ancestor of the Jing Family who had broken free from the Demon Sealing Tower.

 

His original appearance had been slightly restored. He had a thin figure and a beard. Although he was old, he was elegant.

 

As he spoke, he cupped his fists, appearing calm and graceful.

 

Certainly, he was not the real Early Ancestor of the Jing Family. The dark consciousness which was born from the Power of Darkness had occupied his Soul, cultivated by the Aura of Darkness. He was affected by the Power of Darkness while having some memories of the Early Ancestor.

 

[Jing Tianyuan?] The Ancient Seniors of the Imperial Celestial Palace put on milder expressions. If he was from the Jing Family, they could let their guard down.

 

One of them suddenly thought of something and fell into his thoughts. He found the name familiar as though he had heard it from somewhere before.

 

Then, he was shocked and looked incredulously at Jing Tianyuan.

 

“Are you the Early Ancestor of the Jing Family, Senior Jing Tianyuan!?” the Ancient Senior asked directly in shock.

 

This person came from the same era as the Founder of the Imperial Celestial Palace . He had made a name for himself during that era.

 

Although the Jing Family had been living reclusively in a Small Universe, there was no doubt they were as powerful as any Supreme Force.

 

The thin and graceful old man before their eyes was the Early Ancestor who had founded the Jing Family.

 

Jing Tianyuan appeared slightly surprised as though he did not expect anyone to recognise him. He replied with a smile, “Yes, that’s me.”

 

The other Ancient Seniors of the Imperial Celestial Palace were too stunned to speak. When they recovered from their shock, they saluted him. “Greetings, Senior.”

 

Although they were proud of the fact that they were some of the most powerful people in the Boundless Expanse, they would not dare to be disrespectful to someone like him.

 

Even though the Elders of the Imperial Celestial Palace were lending their energy to Ling Yuxian, they were also paying attention to what was going on with the Ancient Seniors. When they heard his words, they were astounded as well.

 

No one had expected that the person who came from the same era as the Founder of the Imperial Celestial Palace would suddenly show up in front of them.

 

“Please drop the formalities.” Jing Tianyuan waved his hand with a soft expression. “I’m here to help bring the Founder of the Imperial Celestial Palace out of danger. Although I’m not at the peak of my power, I can still offer some help.”

 

Upon hearing that, the Elders and the Ancient Seniors of the Imperial Celestial Palace were elated. They thanked him for his willingness to help.

 

Jing Tianyuan waved his hand and said gently, “I’m friends with your Founder, after all. Back then, she told me to guard a particular item. Unfortunately, I was fooled by the item and trapped inside the Demon Sealing Tower. It wasn’t until today that I was set free. She’s trapped inside because of my inability to guard the item. Now, I’ll naturally do my best to help her break free.”

 

They finally realised what had happened upon hearing his explanation. They were initially curious about the Jing Family’s secrets.

 

Now, it seemed that the Jing Family was indeed closely related to the Imperial Celestial Palace. However, what was the item that the Early Ancestor of the Jing Family had mentioned?

 

The Ancient Seniors of the Imperial Celestial Palace were tactful enough not to ask any questions. Since the Early Ancestor of the Jing Family never brought up what secret it was, it showed that they were not supposed to know it at this point.

 

Their most urgent task was to save the Founder of the Imperial Celestial Palace .

 

However, some Elders were curious about Gu Changge, who had come to this place along with the Early Ancestor of the Jing Family.

 

Elder Jiu Lin especially felt that Gu Changge surely came from an extraordinary background. Otherwise, Ling Yuxian would not have gotten close to him.

 

In his opinion, the Early Ancestor of the Jing Family was respectful, even subservient to Gu Changge.

 

He even suspected that he was mistaken.

 

“The item’s temperament has been changed after it was corroded by the Aura of Darkness. There might be some trouble…” Jing Tianyuan said solemnly while looking at the golden path which extended from the void.

 

Beside him, Gu Changge, who had been examining everything, nodded as well. “There will indeed be some trouble. But, I suppose Senior Sister Ling Yuxian has reached the other side. I hope it’s not too late.”

 

Jing Tianyuan sighed and turned solemn before making a hand seal.

 

Ancient symbols as dazzling as the sun formed between his palms and connected with Heaven and Earth. An illusory galaxy seemed to have been pulled out from the Chaos Energy.

 

He intended to open up a new passageway to head to the location of Ling Yuxian’s Soul.

 

The Ancient Seniors of the Imperial Celestial Palace were surprised upon seeing that, but they were tactful enough not to ask any questions.

 

They could tell that Gu Changge’s identity was special. He was not inferior to Ling Yuxian. That was why the Early Ancestor of the Jing Family treated him this way. More importantly, even though they were Ancestral Dao Realm experts, they were not able to see through Gu Changge.

 

They could not even see through his fate and Fortuity, let alone his background. Soon, a shocking anomaly happened.

 

Sand rose into the air as Chaos Energy dimmed the entire world. Purple lightning struck and the sky reddened. It was as though thousands of demons were growling, which was terrifying.

 

A blurred passageway connected to an unknown area opened up.

 

“Please protect me, Fellow Cultivators. I’ll surely bring back your Founder.”

 

Jing Tianyuan growled as his hands danced in the air. He was moving his hands so quickly that they almost turned illusory.

 

The evolution of the Great Dao and countless universes seemed to be happening between his palms.

 

“Don’t worry, Senior. We won’t let anyone disturb you.” The Ancient Seniors of the Imperial Celestial Palace donned solemn expressions as they watched Jing Tianyuan walk into it.

 

Gu Changge followed him in leisurely steps. He soon disappeared into the passageway as well.
