“I’m worried the birthday party of the Celestial Suffering King is not going to be a peaceful one. If I go, it might cause some trouble.” Ling Yuling shook her head with a conflicted gaze.

 

“In that case, I’ll attend the birthday party on your behalf. Since your power hasn’t been fully restored, you’d better not show up.” Ling Yuxian nodded.

 

“The trip might be dangerous. I’ll let a Dharma Body of mine stay by your side. If you come across any danger, you have to ensure your safety.” Ling Yuling sighed almost imperceptibly and waved her hand. A faint light formed as it turned into a thread and coiled around Ling Yuxian’s finger.

 

Ling Yuxian looked at the thread around her finger while feeling the immense energy inside. She could not help but ask in puzzlement, “Do you foresee anything, Older Sister?”

 

“I’m just a little worried.” Ling Yuling shook her head without dwelling further on this topic.

 

Her plan was perfect, but unfortunately, she was wrong about Land of Celestial Suffering’s situation. She initially thought that Forces like Primary Hope Holy Church and Purple Sky Mountain were avoiding the Land of Celestial Suffering because they were not willing to be troubled by its karma.

 

She speculated that Land of Celestial Suffering would be the first to be impacted by the upcoming calamity. Therefore, she intended to reveal her identity to stabilise the situation in the Primary Hope Civilisation and form the Primary Hope Alliance.

 

Nevertheless, after she learned of the outcome of the first round of war between the Beast Court and Land of Celestial Suffering, she was rooted to the spot, feeling that something was off.

 

Although Land of Celestial Suffering was at an absolute advantage, they still were not a match for the Seventh Crown Prince of the Beast Court. Something was definitely amiss.

 

Therefore, Ling Yuling used the Heaven and Earth Chessboard again to make a deduction, which overturned all her previous predictions.

 

An unknown shadow was looming over the Land of Celestial Suffering. Even its tremendous Fortuity had been contaminated. Its Unending Karma was tangled up with its Dragon of Fortuity, creating spots on its body.

 

Ling Yuling was so shocked that she was at a loss for words. It was apparent that the Beast Court was not Land of Celestial Suffering’s only enemy.

 

This upcoming calamity was not a natural one. An unknown terrifying being was trying to scheme against the Land of Celestial Suffering. It had already fallen into an invisible trap.

 

“If the Land of Celestial Suffering cannot get through this, it’ll be destroyed and forgotten in the River of Time.” At the thought of this, Ling Yuling became cautious and was worried that something unexpected would happen at the birthday party of the Celestial Suffering King. Therefore, she decided to let her Younger Sister go. That was because Ling Yuxian was weaker. Even if there was an accident, no one would notice her.

 

Moreover, Ling Yuling would secretly protect her so that Ling Yuxian could safely leave when there was danger.

 

It would be too risky for Ling Yuling to attend. After suffering a setback because of the Spirit of Eternity, she was more cautious and was not willing to take on a huge risk.

 

Suddenly thinking of something, Ling Yuling asked gently, “Do you know what Young Master Gu has been doing during this period?”

 

“I’ve been cultivating here during this period and I’ve never paid attention to the affairs at the Imperial Celestial Palace. However, I’ve heard something about Senior Brother Gu from the Disciples of Xian Yun Practice Grounds. After he returned from the Land of the Jing Family, he stayed in Xian Yun Practice Grounds for a few days and left. No one knew where he went, and he came back at a later time.” Ling Yuxian replied with a frown.

 

“No one knew where he went?” Ling Yuling fell into her thoughts.

 

Seeing her Older Sister’s expression, Ling Yuxian was tactful enough not to disturb her.

 

Not only was Gu Changge’s background mysterious, but his power was also unfathomable.

 

After receiving a heads-up from her Older Sister, Ling Yuxian stopped looking into Gu Changge’s background.

 

During this period, she had been cultivating in the depths of the Imperial Celestial Palace so that she could make it to the Dao Realm sooner and return to the peak of her strength. After all, she was a reincarnated person, so she could increase her power more quickly than her peers.

 

Given enough time and cultivation material, she could improve her cultivation rapidly.

 

Several days later, the Forces in the Primary Hope Civilisation were still discussing the surprising outcome of the epic battle between the Beast Court and the Land of Celestial Suffering.

 

Several Dao Realm Elder from the Imperial Celestial Palace brought their Disciples to board a Flying Boat. They opened up a Spacetime Passageway and headed to the Land of Celestial Suffering to attend Chu Gucheng’s birthday party.

 

Although Ling Yuxian had tagged along with the other Disciples, she mostly stayed in her courtyard. Therefore, when she decided to take a stroll and discovered that Gu Changge was among the Disciples who were heading to Land of Celestial Suffering, she was astounded.

 

The Flying Boat was massive. It was akin to a flying country. There was a world of its own on the inside. The spiritual energy was ample and runes intertwined with each other. There were also lakes and mountains. Every Disciple had his own courtyard. It was a magnificent place.

 

While heading to Land of Celestial Suffering, rarely any Disciple would take a stroll. Therefore, Ling Yuxian had no idea which Elders and Disciples were also going.

 

“We haven’t seen each other for a few days, but it seems that you no longer welcome me, Senior Sister Yuxian. Why do you look so shocked?” Gu Changge said while keeping a faint smile on his face.

 

“Why would I not welcome you, Senior Brother Gu? I just didn’t expect you to be here.” Ling Yuxian shook her head. She looked at the white-clothed young man while feeling strange deep within.

 

It was her first time seeing Gu Changge after they parted ways. As usual, he looked graceful and handsome as though he had stepped out of a painting. Anyone would easily take a liking to him because of his gentleness. However, when Ling Yuxian recalled her Older Sister’s words, the strange feeling in her heart intensified.

 

She was not terrified, but she just felt something was off. She wondered what Gu Changge’s identity and background were, and what he was doing here.

 

“After all, it’s the birthday of the Celestial Suffering King, and all the Forces in the Primary Hope Civilisation have been invited. I naturally want to attend the party to broaden my horizons.” Gu Changge responded to her question with a smile.

 

Ling Yuxian pulled herself together.

 

Judging from the current situation, even though they were not aware of Gu Changge’s background, he indeed had no ill intentions against the Imperial Celestial Palace.

 

“I don’t believe you’re interested in such a boring matter, Senior Brother Gu.” Ling Yuxian shook her head, not believing his statement at all.

 

“It probably won’t be as boring as you think.” Gu Changge shook his head and smiled.

 

Ling Yuxian was surprised, feeling that there were some underlying meanings behind his words. Just as she wanted to get some information out of him, Gu Changge suddenly changed the topic and said with interest, “By the way, do you remember the agreement between us, Senior Sister Yuxian?”

 

Ling Yuxian was startled upon hearing that. When she recalled what it was, she felt slightly guilty.

 

“Haven’t you already gotten the Gate of Eternity, Senior Brother Gu?” She questioned.

 

She had learned from her Older Sister that Gu Changge was not the owner of the Gate of Eternity. In other words, Gu Changge already knew that she had misunderstood it but never explained anything when they were in Magnificent Sun Ancient Territory. In the end, he even directly took the Gate of Eternity.

 

Gu Changge shook his head. “The Gate of Eternity is different. When we made the agreement, I didn’t say I wanted to take the Gate of Eternity. The two should not be mixed up. Are you going to go back on your word, Senior Sister Yuxian?”

 

Ling Yuxian refuted in frustration, “What are you even saying? You were the one who fooled me into thinking you wanted to take the Gate of Eternity. Aren’t you supposed to explain why you even lied to me? Also, shouldn’t you give the Gate of Eternity back to me?”

 

Since Gu Changge had said so, he had basically admitted that he was not the owner of the Gate of Eternity. As such, Ling Yuxian decided to be frank with him. Given her temperament, she did not like to hide anything.

 

“The Gate of Eternity has always been an ownerless item. Let me ask you this question. If I passed the Gate of Eternity to the two of you at that time, would you dare to take it?”

 

Gu Changge put on a nonchalant smile.

 

Ling Yuxian was vexed, feeling that he had underestimated her. Nevertheless, she could not refute him.

 

After all, he was telling the truth. At that time, the Gate of Eternity had been contaminated by the Aura of Darkness, and it was the same for the Artifact Spirit.

 

Ling Yuling had fallen for the Artifact Spirit’s trick before, so she would not dare to take the Gate of Eternity.

 

After a snort, Ling Yuxian turned around and left, feeling that Gu Changge was there to mess with her mind.

 

She could never calm down in his presence.

 

[Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to bring down the Imperial Celestial Palace before the good show starts. Although Ling Yuling is suspicious of me, she has not made up her mind. She’s still hesitant.] Gu Changge watched Ling Yuxian leave with a conflicted gaze. He could tell that Ling Yuling had left something on Ling Yuxian.

 

Although she never left the Imperial Celestial Palace, she could still find out what was going on through Ling Yuxian. She must have learned of the conversation between Ling Yuxian and him despite being in the Imperial Celestial Palace.
