No one knew what exactly was sealed within this ancient tower. Out of desperation, the Jing Clan's patriarch had no choice but to begin explaining to everyone the contents of the ancient ancestor's handwritten notes, revealing that this tower was called the Demon-Sealing Tower.
Back then, the ancient ancestor had only left behind these notes and had not disclosed anything else.
As for why this tower existed, he had no idea. Now, the only option was to try to contact the members of the Imperial Immortal Palace who had come here with them, to see if they knew anything relevant.
However, the Jing Clan members were naturally unwilling to accept the patriarch's explanation.
If even they didn't know what was sealed inside this tower, why would the ancient ancestor leave behind notes instructing future generations not to open it? Moreover, at this moment, Jing Xiang's parents, disregarding the consequences, directly revealed the so-called secret of ancestor-slaying that they had learned from Jing Xiang.
This so-called Demon-Sealing Tower did not seal outsiders but rather the Jing Clan's own ancient ancestor.
The ancient ancestor had been schemed against by his descendants, sealed here, and turned into a source of nourishment for their cultivation.
As for whether the notes were truly left by the ancient ancestor, no one could say. This Land of Eternal Life might very well be a grand deception, and the ancestors who were later brought here had likely met the same fate as the ancient ancestor, becoming nourishment for someone else's cultivation.
This revelation caused an uproar, leaving all the Jing Clan members stunned.
Even the Jing Clan's patriarch and the several elders were momentarily frozen in place, wondering if they had misheard.
If this was indeed an elaborate scheme, it was likely orchestrated by a few of the Jing Clan's ancestors.
"The only way now is to destroy this tower, rescue the trapped ancestors, and shatter their scheme and deception," Jing Xiang's father said solemnly, his gaze sweeping over all the clansmen with a commanding presence.
His words left the current Jing Clan patriarch stunned. After regaining his composure, he even began to waver.
A scheme?
Could it really be a scheme?
If it wasn't a scheme, why didn't the ancient ancestor's notes clearly state what was sealed inside this tower?
And why couldn't the ancestors who were brought here in later generations leave, also trapped within?
But if that were truly the case,
how could they explain the clansmen who seemed to be bewitched by some voice, frantically trying to destroy the tower?
Regardless of what the Jing Clan patriarch and others thought,
some Jing Clan members had already begun to agree with Jing Xiang'father's explanation and, like those who had attacked earlier, wanted to destroy the tower.
The Great Dao's light surged into the sky, and the area seemed as if it were about to recreate the world. Chaos energy soared, covering the heavens, while heavenly thunder and earthly fire, as well as the clear and turbid energies, all manifested.
Several extremely powerful figures had already taken action. They were among the strongest and most enigmatic existences in the Jing Clan today.
They were not influenced or disturbed in any way but purely agreed with Jing Xiang's father's words, feeling that this place was deeply strange.
Now, the only way was to destroy the tower and investigate the truth.
Moreover, they had no other choice. They couldn't attack their own clansmen, especially under the influence of that mysterious, unseen force, as it might harm innocent clansmen.
Jing Xiang's parents also joined the attack, frantic with worry that something might happen to Jing Xiang.
Both of them were incredibly powerful. Their golden palms blotted out the sky, covering and pressing down, continuously striking the Demon-Sealing Tower, causing it to tremble violently as if it were about to collapse and shatter.
Boundless energy exploded here, sweeping across the entire Land of Eternal Life. On the other side, the members of the Imperial Immortal Palace, despite the great distance, also sensed this anomaly.
Many elders were shocked, unsure of what was happening, and quickly used their pupil techniques to peer into the distance.
But this Land of Eternal Life was special. Not only were the laws of heaven and earth incomplete, but there was also an inexplicable aura of strangeness. Even those at the Dao Realm found it difficult to see clearly what was happening in the distance, and their divine senses could barely extend outward.
Ling Yuxian also sensed the disturbance in the distance.
But at this moment, she had no time to concern herself with it.
Deep within this Land of Eternal Life, she had already sensed her sister's aura. She sat cross-legged in the void, her cheekbones glowing, radiant light spilling out, illuminating her skin, which was as smooth and white as porcelain.
Around her, many elders of the Imperial Immortal Palace stood guard, their expressions serious as they closely protected Ling Yuxian's safety.
"Sister, can you hear me? I've come to this place. I've come to take you away from here."
Ling Yuxian continuously called out, her brows furrowed in deep anxiety as she tried to establish a connection with her sister to determine her current location of slumber.
In the vast void, lines resembling the meridians of the Great Dao extended outward from Ling Yuxian, forming a golden path that seemed capable of guiding beings from unknown regions.
This golden path was surrounded by boundless light, illuminating the dark void around it.
It seemed as if it were guiding Ling Yuxian.
The elders of the Imperial Immortal Palace were also in awe of this sight. This ancient guiding technique was something they had only read about in ancient texts. They had thought it lost to time, never expecting to witness it in person one day.
"It's said that this ancient guiding technique can summon someone back even if they've disappeared into the deepest reaches of the vast expanse of time, forgotten all their past, and lost all their coordinates."
Elder Jiu Lin's expression was filled with shock, and he grew even more curious about Ling Yuxian's origins.
Meanwhile, deep within this realm, in a void perpetually shrouded in dark energy,
a spring mouth large enough to require dozens of people to encircle it floated slowly, resembling an ancient well.
Threads of icy cold energy intertwined and spread outward, continuously seeping into the surroundings.
Faintly, a slender, blurry figure could be seen sitting cross-legged within, her body flawless and translucent, as if carved from immortal jade. Her face was indistinct, sometimes bathed in radiant light, other times washed over by dark energy.
This slender, blurry figure seemed to hear Ling Yuxian's voice, her eyelashes trembling as if she were about to open her eyes.
But in the void, threads of black light seeped down, enveloping her face, and her eyelids, which had twitched slightly, closed once more.
"I didn't expect you to have such methods. This is the backup plan you prepared. But unfortunately, with her current strength, she's still not enough to guide your true soul back into your body."
Another voice, filled with arrogance and mockery, echoed through the area, cold and disdainful.
