Chapter 1210: He Wants to Destroy This Pagoda, to Meet the Ancient Ancestor (Please Subscribe)
"I never expected you, lad, to actually reach this place. Truly beyond this old man's expectations."
"If you want this old man to help you resolve the curse, then come into this pagoda."
"Once you see this old man, I will naturally help you solve the curse."
This was the first time Jing Xiang heard the Ancient Ancestor's voice after arriving in the Land of Eternal Life. After a slight moment of surprise, his face immediately revealed deep joy.
However, he didn't dare to show it, forcing himself to appear calm.
After all, many clan members were present here, along with the Patriarch and several elders.
They might detect something.
But at this moment, this slight abnormality on Jing Xiang's face did not escape his parents' notice.
The two exchanged a glance, inconspicuously moving Jing Xiang behind the other clan members, then asked in low voices.
Jing Xiang hadn't yet responded to the voice in his mind. Facing his parents' inquiry, he didn't hide it, informing them that the Ancient Ancestor within this ancient pagoda was transmitting a message to communicate with him.
"Is it truly the Ancient Ancestor?"
Both of Jing Xiang's parents were deeply shaken and astonished, yet also somewhat doubtful and unbelieving.
But at this moment, there was no way to verify anything. Jing Xiang was also trying to communicate with that voice, asking how to find the Ancient Ancestor's location.
"This old man is trapped on the highest level of this pagoda. If you wish to enter, you must pass through the seventeen levels below. However, with your strength, it's impossible for you to reach here. Moreover, once you enter this pagoda, you may not necessarily be able to leave."
"Of course, if you can manage it, you can also try to destroy this pagoda. It's just that Jing family's juniors would never agree."
The voice emitted a laugh that seemed both mocking and disdainful.
Hearing this, Jing Xiang fell silent for a moment. With his strength, how could he enter? How could he destroy this pagoda?
This was simply an impossible task.
"Brother, what if you reveal all the secrets you know to the public, to see how the Jing Clan elders react?"
At this time, Jing Xiao also noticed Jing Xiang's struggle and hesitation, proposing this.
Jing Xiang shook his head. "In matters like this, how many would believe it if spoken? Moreover, if it's true, it's a scandal for the Jing Clan. Would the elders allow such a thing to spread?"
Faced with a method to break the curse, saying he wasn't tempted would be a lie.
Moreover, this method was right before his eyes.
Jing Xiao's expression also dimmed.
"It seems Brother Jing Xiang has encountered some difficult problem, so conflicted."
Suddenly, a voice sounded not far away, immediately catching the attention of Jing Xiang's parents.
Both looked surprised, noticing it was the mysterious young man in white that Jing Xiao had paid attention to multiple times before.
He had entered this place with them earlier but disappeared along the way; it was unknown where he went. Unexpectedly, he would appear here at this time.
For this young man mentioned earlier by Ling Qiuchang in his letter, the two were particularly curious.
Not only curious about his origin and identity, but also curious why their daughter Jing Xiao would like such a young man.
"Brother Gu..."
Jing Xiao looked up, her face immediately showing a trace of joyful surprise.
Jing Xiang didn't expect Gu Changge to suddenly appear and say these words to him. He looked over somewhat puzzled.
Gu Changge walked unhurriedly from that side.
Simultaneously sweeping a glance at the majestic, towering ancient pagoda in the distance, he smiled faintly. "This pagoda will inevitably be destroyed sooner or later. Since Brother Jing intends to go inside, it's better to make plans earlier."
It was as if he knew what was in Jing Xiang's heart, seeing through all his secrets at a glance.
Jing Xiang was startled, even feeling that when Gu Changge looked at him, the voice of the Ancient Ancestor communicating with him seemed to suddenly vanish, disappearing without a trace.
"Might I ask what Brother Gu means by these words?"
Jing Xiang wore a cautious expression.
Gu Changge was very mysterious. His mystery wasn't like Ling Yuxian's, who seemed to hide many secrets and worries. His mystery was such that it was hard to fathom, hard to guess, impossible to discern his thoughts.
Even when he smiled, gentle as jade, it always gave a feeling of dread and unease...
"I can actually guess the things Brother Jing has encountered recently, so there's no need for surprise."
Gu Changge still smiled faintly.
Hearing this, Jing Xiang grew even more cautious and careful.
"You and Ling Yuxian are not the same type?"
He asked.
"Naturally not. She has her matters, I have mine. How could we be the same? On the contrary, my purpose somewhat conflicts with hers."
"She came to the Land of Eternal Life to rescue the trapped Ancestor Master of the Imperial Immortal Palace. As for me, I merely wish to meet the Jing Clan's Ancient Ancestor face to face and ask some questions."
Gu Changge said with an unchanged expression and a smile.
"What? You want to meet my Jing Clan's Ancient Ancestor?"
Jing Xiang was shocked, not expecting Gu Changge's goal to also be this.
Jing Xiao was the same; she had never heard Gu Changge mention such matters before.
Moreover, if this were true, then were Ling Yuxian's previous words to her all correct?
From the beginning, Gu Changge approached her because she was a Jing Clan member, wanting to probe for information about the Jing Clan from her?
Jing Xiao's beautiful eyes instantly dimmed somewhat.
She gazed at Gu Changge, as if wanting to hear some explanation from him.
However, Gu Changge's expression didn't change much. He didn't look at her either, still smiling as he spoke to Jing Xiang: "So you don't need to worry about anything. On the contrary, I can help you destroy this pagoda, allowing you to meet your Jing Clan's Ancient Ancestor."
"Meet the Ancient Ancestor?"
Jing Xiang was very tempted by these words.
But he wasn't foolish; he didn't believe there were so many good things in the world.
"What exactly is sealed within this pagoda? What consequences would destroying it lead to?"
Jing Xiang's parents, at this moment, also felt a bone-chilling cold from an unknown source, hurriedly shielding Jing Xiang behind them.
In their view, Gu Changge didn't seem to simply want to help Jing Xiang.
He seemed more like he wanted to destroy this pagoda?
Gu Changge showed a hint of a strange light in his eyes, shaking his head. "What consequences it would lead to, you should ask the Jing Clan's Patriarch. After all, I am merely an outsider."
