The spring was not big. Since Ling Yuling’s body was seated inside previously, it was not so conspicuous. After she got out of it, the spring was fully shown to them.

 

A glow radiated from the spring. A portal was faintly seen behind the spring. It looked like an ancient world that had been around for eternity.

 

Gu Changge had noticed it early on, but he did not say anything. He had come to this place not to look for the Gate of Eternity but the clues about the Six Directions Heavenly Abyss.

 

However, as the First-Generation Civilisation Supreme Treasure, the Gate of Eternity had some amazing uses just like the Mirror of Reincarnation of the Primary Hope Holy Church.

 

Since it was right before his eyes, there was no reason for him not to take it.

 

“The Aura of Darkness in this place is being exuded because there is a bit of the Origin of Darkness left.” Gu Changge said.

 

Certainly, this last bit of the Origin of Darkness was the trump card he had left behind.

 

As for how it would evolve or how it became what it was, it mattered little to him.

 

During their conversation, Gu Changge waved his hand as billions of stars seemed to be evolving within his sleeve, which seemed able to keep everything in the world. The spring soon disappeared and was kept within his sleeve.

 

[He retrieved it so quickly!] Ling Yuxian was shocked, for she did not even see the true appearance of the Gate of Eternity.

 

Gu Changge said casually, “Since the Gate of Eternity is heavily affected by the Origin of Darkness, it cannot be purified in a short time. I’ll slowly deal with it after we leave this place.”

 

Ling Yuxian nodded upon hearing his explanation, knowing that they were not supposed to stay in this place for long.

 

Since her Soul was away from her body for so long, there might be some problems.

 

“In that case, I’ll open up a passageway so that we can leave,” said Jing Tianyuan who had been protecting them from a distance. He slashed across the air with his palm as an immense power surged. Amid the glow, the fissure appeared again and turned into a Spacetime passageway.

 

Gu Changge nodded and stepped into it first, followed by Ling Yuxian’s Soul.

 

Ling Yuling was the last to leave. She had been observing Gu Changge with a conflicted gaze.

 

Before her departure, she turned around to look at the dimensional space as though trying to verify something.

 

In the depths of the Land of Eternity, a blurred passageway extended from a faraway Spacetime.

 

A golden path illuminated the dark void.

 

Several figures stepped out of the passageway. The person at the head was Ling Yuxian’s Soul.

 

She took the initiative to turn into a wisp of smoke and return to her body.

 

“They’ve finally returned! That’s great!”

 

Upon seeing that, the Elders of the Imperial Celestial Palace, who had been guarding Ling Yuxian’s body, were elated and relieved.

 

The Ancient Seniors in the Ancestral Dao Realm could finally set their minds at ease as well. They smiled faintly.

 

They hurriedly went over and cupped their fists at Jing Tianyuan. “Thanks, Senior.”

 

Jing Tianyuan put on a smile and waved his hand. “I’m glad I didn’t disappoint all of you. If you’d like to express your gratitude, you should thank Young Master Gu.”

 

These Ancient Seniors of the Imperial Celestial Palace were living fossils who had been alive for countless years. Upon hearing his words, they felt slightly awkward.

 

After all, Gu Changge was still a Disciple of the Imperial Celestial Palace. Although he had an extraordinary background, they felt uncomfortable thanking him.

 

Anyway, Gu Changge did not care about such a small matter. He felt that these Ancestral Dao Realm experts were the most suitable people he could use in the near future.

 

“There’s no need to thank me as it was the least I could do.” He smiled and never dwelled on this topic.

 

“Young Master Gu, you’ve done us a great favour. If there’s anything you need, we’ll do our best to satisfy it.”

 

These Ancient Seniors were tactful, so they immediately cupped their fists and expressed their gratitude.

 

Then, they turned to look at Ling Yuling with solemn expressions. She was the last to show up.

 

They instantly knew that the alluring woman before their eyes was the Founder who had founded the Imperial Celestial Palace.

 

That was because Ling Yuling and Ling Yuxian looked identical. Apart from their temperaments and expressions, there was not much difference between them.

 

“Greetings, Founder. We Juniors respectfully welcome your return.”

 

The Ancient Seniors and Elders of the Imperial Celestial Palace hurriedly saluted her.

 

All of them appeared excited and respectful.

 

With a mild expression, Ling Yuling swept a glance over them and lifted her hand. Then, she said gently, “Please drop the formalities and get up. Countless years have passed. I didn’t expect the Imperial Celestial Palace to eventually develop into such a scale. All of you have made me proud. It’s thanks to your combined strength that I was able to break free. Otherwise, I would still have been confined.”

 

It was an honour for everyone at the Imperial Celestial Palace to see the Founder who founded the Sect countless years ago. It was understandable that these Ancient Seniors in the Ancestral Dao Realm were thrilled.

 

If not for the fact that it was not the right time, they would have wanted to tell the Founder about the calamities they had suffered and the developments over the years in detail.

 

No outsiders could understand how excited they were.

 

“We’ve only recently found out that you’ve been trapped here for so long, Founder. We’re sorry for letting you suffer here over the years. If the Young Ancestor never told us about it, we would never have known about it.”

 

The Ancient Seniors could tell that the Founder was frail and her body was left with little to no Life Force. After all, she had been confined to this place for countless years. Anyone else would have died and dissipated long ago.

 

Only a being like the Founder could hold on for such a long time. Now, their most urgent task was to bring the Founder back to the Imperial Celestial Palace and help her recuperate.

 

After she recovered, they would announce this matter to everyone in the Primary Hope Civilisation.

 

By then, all the Forces in the Primary Hope Civilisation would send some people to visit them. No one would dare to be disrespectful to them.

 

Then, all of them started moving away from this place. They intended to leave the Land of Eternity.

 

They had heard a lot about the Jing Family from Jing Tianyuan.

 

They felt that they could head to the Jing Family’s place after leaving here.

 

That way, they could talk things out to prevent any misunderstanding and trouble.

 

Ling Yuling was not as frail as they thought her to be. After all, in the dark dimensional space, Gu Changge had cleansed her body with immense and pure energy.

 

Her originally withered cells and body were nourished during the process of cleansing.

 

Although she was still far from having recovered, she was not as weak as they thought her to be.

 

Now, she was more concerned about the current state of the Jing Family. She would never forget about what the Spirit of Eternity had said.
