Jing Xiang's parents were completely stunned by the ancient secret of the Jing family he had revealed, unable to recover for a long time.
Jing Xiao's mouth was slightly open, her face filled with shock.
"Xiang'er, is what you said true?"
Jing Xiang's mother still couldn't believe it, finding it too shocking and absurd.
The so-called Land of Eternal Life of the Jing family was actually a forbidden land where the ancient ancestor of the Jing family was sealed?
And the ancient ancestor who had founded the Jing family had been imprisoned there by his descendants, reduced to a source of cultivation for them?
They couldn't help but suspect that Jing Xiang had been deceived.
The two quickly glanced around, relieved to see no other clan members nearby, and their expressions became unprecedentedly serious.
Jing Xiang naturally didn't dare to hide anything. At this moment, he recounted everything he had heard from the voice that claimed to be the ancient ancestor of the Jing family during the noon hours.
"So that's how it is."
Only then did his parents realize that Jing Xiang's frequent daze during that time was due to this reason.
However, even so, they still found it hard to accept.
If what Jing Xiang said was true, it would completely overturn their understanding of the Jing family.
Beneath the Jing family's glamorous exterior lay a dark and dirty reality? Even the clan leader was hiding these things?
For a moment, the two fell into deep silence.
"Father, Mother, until we confirm whether this is true or false, I hope you can keep this secret for me."
Jing Xiang spoke in a low voice. He wasn't foolish; he knew what this would mean for the Jing family if it were revealed.
"Xiang'er, don't worry. We wouldn't dare to speak of such things carelessly."
His parents nodded, their expressions extremely grave.
Jing Xiao was also frightened, her eyes filled with worry. She hadn't expected to learn such a shocking secret from her brother.
The family of four fell into deep silence.
Soon, other members of the Jing family sent word that a tall tower had been discovered deep within this world, and it seemed to contain the auras of their ancestors.
Upon receiving the message, Jing Xiang's parents could only suppress their confusion and worries for the time being, regain their composure, and quickly take Jing Xiang and Jing Xiao to the location.
They could only hope that what Jing Xiang had said was false; otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Jing Xiang followed his parents in silence.
After arriving in this world, he had been trying to contact the voice in his mind that claimed to be the ancient ancestor of the Jing family.
But the voice seemed to have vanished, disappearing without a trace, leaving no response.
Now, seeing his parents' serious expressions, Jing Xiang knew he had been drawn into a shocking secret, one that could cost him his life.
Meanwhile, in another part of this world, Ling Yuxian transformed into a divine rainbow, streaking across the sky, sensing her sister's aura as she searched for the place where her sister was sleeping.
Behind her, the elders of the Imperial Immortal Palace followed closely, not daring to be careless.
"Where did he go at this time?"
However, Ling Yuxian couldn't help but look back, trying to locate Gu Changge.
Throughout their journey to the Sheng Yang Ancient Domain, Gu Changge had given her an inexplicable sense of unease.
Although she hadn't been in contact with her sister during the journey, she felt as if her sister was wary of, even afraid of, Gu Changge.
This feeling was strange and hard to explain.
Was it because her sister had joined forces with others to seize the Gate of Eternal Life that belonged to Gu Changge?
Forcing Gu Changge to fall into reincarnation, like her, to rebuild his strength and return to his peak?
Was her sister worried that Gu Changge would seek revenge once he learned the truth? Worried that Gu Changge would harm her?
Ling Yuxian could only guess this way.
But she had no choice. If she didn't keep Gu Changge stable, once he learned that the founder of the Imperial Immortal Palace was one of the enemies who had stolen his Gate of Eternal Life,
he would definitely not allow the Imperial Immortal Palace to rescue the founder and would surely interfere.
Ling Yuxian had another, even greater concern: that Gu Changge's goal wasn't the Gate of Eternal Life at all.
If that were the case, all her previous guesses and suspicions would be completely overturned. Moreover, Gu Changge seemed to have known many things from the beginning, always giving her the deeply unsettling feeling that everything was under his control.
"He clearly came to the Land of Eternal Life with us, but he's not following me?"
"Where did he go? Did he follow the Jing family instead?"
Ling Yuxian didn't see Gu Changge among the figures behind her, and her unease grew.
But at this point, she could no longer afford to worry. She had to find her sister's sleeping place as quickly as possible.
Ling Yuxian and her sister had a special connection, which was why she could vaguely sense her sister's location after arriving here.
Moreover, she knew her sister was already aware of her arrival and was trying to contact her.
After countless years, the two sisters were finally about to reunite.
Her face couldn't hide her joy and excitement.
Ling Yuxian hadn't fully recovered her memories, but her mind was already filled with images of the past, when the two sisters had supported each other in cultivation, accompanied each other, and comprehended the Great Dao together.
The path of immortality was vast and treacherous, but the two of them had relied on each other. Through countless trials and tribulations, they had become renowned figures in the Vast Expanse.
Her talent wasn't as great as her sister's, and many times, it was her sister who had found resources to help her cultivate.
After that world-shaking battle, if it hadn't been to save her and help her rebuild her soul)l,
her sister wouldn't have taken such a great risk, injured as she was, to seize the Gate of Eternal Life.
In the end, her sister's current predicament was entirely because of her. Ling Yuxian felt immense guilt and wished she could find her sister immediately to help her recover and escape.
From then on, the two would reunite, join hands once more to comprehend the Great Dao, restore their peak strength, and stand at the pinnacle of all worlds.
The Land of Eternal Life was filled with drifting, gloomy gray clouds that covered the sky, exuding an aura of desolation.
The members of the Jing family soon gathered in the central area deep within, gazing at the ancient tower that stood eighteen stories tall.
