"Xiang'er, what did you experience inside the Demon-Sealing Tower?"
Jing Xiang's thoughts were interrupted by his parents' concerned questions. He snapped back to reality and began recounting his experiences inside the Demon-Sealing Tower.
However, he didn't mention Gu Changge or the Jing Clan's ancient ancestor. He only vaguely hinted that he had followed Gu Changge into the Demon-Sealing Tower.
He had survived the Demon-Sealing Tower unscathed, thanks to Gu Changge.
Now, the curse on him had been lifted by the ancient ancestor, and from now on, he could cultivate like a normal person.
Jing Xiang wasn't foolish. He knew that revealing those things wouldn't do much good.
Instead, it might put his parents in danger.
"It was Senior Brother Gu who helped you?"
Hearing this, Jing Xiao was also stunned.
She truly hadn't expected Gu Changge to help her brother. Originally, after learning that Gu Changge had come for the Jing Clan's ancient ancestor, she realized she had been overthinking things.
But now, Gu Changge had helped Jing Xiang, which made her imagination run wild again.
"Did you really see the ancient ancestor inside the Demon-Sealing Tower?"
Jing Xiang's parents were more concerned about another matter, their faces filled with shock.
Jing Xiang nodded. "Thanks to Senior Brother Gu, I saw the ancient ancestor inside the tower. The ancient ancestor has now broken free, and it was he who helped me remove the curse."
As for where Gu Changge and the Jing Clan's ancient ancestor were now, he could only give a vague explanation, shaking his head and saying he didn't know.
When the Demon-Sealing Tower began to collapse, everything was chaotic. He had only focused on escaping and hadn't paid attention to Gu Changge and the ancient ancestor's movements.
As for the relationship between Gu Changge and the Jing Clan's ancient ancestor, he had no idea.
Jing Xiang's explanation left his parents still shocked and incredulous.
If this were true, then what Jing Xiang had said earlier was also true?
Had the Jing Clan's ancient ancestor truly been sealed and trapped inside the Demon-Sealing Tower, enduring suffering and torment?
In the distance, many of the Jing Clan's ancestors had already escaped from the Demon-Sealing Tower. Looking at the not-so-clear sky, their faces were filled with excitement.
The Jing Clan members rushed over to welcome them.
The elders with the deepest seniority could still recognize some of them, their faces also filled with excitement and joy.
"I never thought we would truly escape that hellish place and see the light of day again."
"Heaven has opened its eyes!"
At this moment, all the Jing Clan's ancestors were overwhelmed with emotion, wishing they could howl at the sky.
The Jing Clan's patriarch and others knelt down, many of them filled with shame. "We, the unfilial descendants, have let our ancestors suffer and endure hardship. Only today have we learned the truth."
The state of the Jing Clan's ancestors wasn't great.
Many of them looked haggard, their vitality drained, with one foot already in the grave.
They quickly regained their composure and realized that it was their descendants who had worked together to destroy the Demon-Sealing Tower, allowing them to escape.
However, many clan members still didn't know the full story.
Now, the Jing Clan's patriarch began to inquire about the details.
He was still worried that destroying the Demon-Sealing Tower might have caused some unforeseen consequences.
After all, the ancient ancestor had personally left behind those notes.
"Following our ancestors' instructions, the Jing Clan has guarded this place for generations. After being brought here, we didn't know the situation and thought this was truly the Land of Eternal Life. It wasn't until we entered the Demon-Sealing Tower that we realized this was no paradise."
"But by then, it was already too late."
Many of the ancestors sighed and began to explain.
Even they didn't know the full story. They had only sensed something was wrong after being brought here.
The so-called Land of Eternal Life was like a desolate universe, devoid of any trace of eternal life energy.
Of course, with their strength, they could have opened a passage to leave.
But bound by the Heavenly Dao's oath, they couldn't resist and were forced to be brought here.
Moreover, the Demon-Sealing Tower was completely different from the outside world. It was inscribed with strange and eerie formations that suppressed anyone who entered, making it impossible to leave.
Many of the Jing Clan's ancestors who had been brought here earlier likely exhausted their lifespans and perished inside the Demon-Sealing Tower.
As for why the Demon-Sealing Tower existed, they had no idea.
Hearing these explanations, the Jing Clan's patriarch and others wore bitter smiles. They then brought up the secret of ancestor-slaying that Jing Xiang's parents had mentioned earlier.
The Jing Clan's ancestors were stunned.
At this moment, Jing Xiang's parents also arrived and informed everyone about what Jing Xiang had experienced after entering the Demon-Sealing Tower.
The Jing Clan's ancient ancestor had already broken free. Once he appeared, the truth would naturally come to light.
However, where the Jing Clan's ancient ancestor was now remained unknown.
The Jing Clan's ancestors were still reeling from the shocking secret Jing Xiang's parents had revealed.
They were utterly astonished, hearing such a thing for the first time.
Moreover, who was that mysterious young man named Gu that Jing Xiang's parents had mentioned?
When had he entered the Demon-Sealing Tower?
They had been trapped inside but hadn't sensed his presence at all.
Could the weakening of the sealing power between the Demon-Sealing Tower's levels have been related to him?
"It seems we'll only know the full story once the ancient ancestor returns," murmured several of the Jing Clan's most ancient ancestors.
Meanwhile, deep within the Land of Eternal Life.
In that dark, deep void, Ling Yuxian, with the help of the Imperial Immortal Palace elders, finally managed to send her true soul through the barrier between two dimensional spaces, arriving at the place where her sister, Ling Yuling, was trapped.
Her radiant soul light, like an eternal oil lamp, illuminated the vast darkness.
Her true soul wasn't very clear, instead appearing somewhat blurry and hazy, with only a faint outline visible.
After all, she was only at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level. Being able to come here was entirely due to the power borrowed from the Imperial Immortal Palace elders.
However, her arrival provided a bridge and medium for her sister, Ling Yuling.
Vast and surging energy continuously flowed from the Imperial Immortal Palace elders, borrowed by Ling Yuling.
The fragments of her true soul scattered throughout this dark space began to gather, reforming into a complete true soul.
"You actually did it?"
The consciousness of the Eternal Life Spirit let out a voice of disbelief and shock.
It couldn't believe that Ling Yuxian, only at the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level, could withstand such an immense amount of Dao Realm power and energy.
