Until the three of them walked into the White Jade City.

Only then did they realize that this city was far more magnificent than they had imagined.

Even though it was already in ruins, the towering pavilions and towers still maintained a unique beauty, completely unlike things that should exist in this era.

"So, what are we doing in this place?"

"Is there Immortal Grass here? Or have you calculated something again?"

By now, Xiluo was already accustomed to Li Boyang’s mysterious style, so she only asked after officially entering the White Jade City.

Anyway, when the moment comes, Li Boyang will definitely explain.

"There is no Immortal Grass here."

"The Immortal Grass is an Elixir of Immortality painstakingly cultivated by the Celestial Emperor, and only exists in the Fourth Heaven."

"However, ever since the fall of the Celestial Emperor’s Capital, the Fourth Heaven has long become a ruin like this White Jade City."

"Whether Immortal Grass still exists is an unknown."

Upon hearing this, Xiluo just rolled her eyes.

"It’s an unknown to others, but not necessarily to you, right?"

"Otherwise, how dare you come here so confidently and make a promise to Er Tu beforehand?"

Li Boyang was never one to brag.

In Xiluo’s impression, Li Boyang even somewhat disliked speaking big words carelessly.

Whenever he promised something, it meant he had absolute confidence and would do his utmost to achieve it.

"Whether Returning Void has Immortal Grass is not important..."

"Personally, I’m actually more curious about the cultivation method of the Immortal Grass."

As Xiluo expected, Li Boyang just smiled ambiguously.

"You know I don’t like to fight unprepared..."

"Learning a little more intelligence before looking for the Immortal Grass is never wrong."

"Besides, this used to be the Celestial Emperor’s Capital. Is it really as quiet and peaceful as it seems now?"

"To deal with those hidden crises, we must prepare in advance."

As he spoke here, Li Boyang’s tone paused slightly, but he did not say what he planned to prepare ahead of time.

"This is the Fifth Heaven, a place the Celestial Emperor used to settle his subordinate Gods."

"So, could the legendary Daughter of the Celestial Emperor live here?"

With a gentle toss of the Celestial Destiny Bone Armor in his hand, Li Boyang looked at its upward face and said.

"The Daughter of the Celestial Emperor? You mean Gou Xing?"

Glancing back at Li Boyang, Cyan Bird couldn’t help but speak.

"Wasn’t she supposed to have died at the hands of Wu Yi?"

Regarding her nominal sister, Cyan Bird had no real feelings.

On the contrary, after learning that Gou Xing was the legendary Guhuo Bird, Cyan Bird’s awe and fear of her reached their peak.

"Theoretically, she should indeed be dead."

Slightly tilting his head, Li Boyang replied thoughtfully.

"But since she is the Daughter of the Celestial Emperor, do you think she might have consumed the Immortal Grass?"

"Moreover, Gou Xing is the legendary Guhuo Bird, possessing the Divine Power of ’Soul Division Rebirth.’

"It’s better to be cautious, wouldn’t you agree?"

Seeing Li Boyang start speaking in riddles again, Xiluo instinctively pursed her lips.

"Do you know where she is now?"

Smiling, Li Boyang tossed the Celestial Destiny Bone Armor again and walked straight ahead.

"Gou Xing is the Daughter of the Celestial Emperor, a status of supreme nobility."

"The place she resides in can’t just be any ordinary place."

"In the center of the city, the most luxurious and well-preserved palace, that’s probably where the Daughter of the Celestial Emperor resides."

...........................

Just as Li Boyang had anticipated, the three of them made their way to the very center of the White Jade City.

Soon noticing a resplendent golden palace.

Noting its completeness starkly contrasting the surrounding ruins.

This palace was also built of white jade, yet golden bird-shaped ornaments hung in all its corners.

On those beams and columns, numerous intricate patterns and carvings were etched, forming an exceedingly majestic picture.

It narrated not only the great achievements during the Celestial Emperor’s reign but also emphasized the origins of Gou Xing, the youngest daughter of the Celestial Emperor.

Gou Xing was the Celestial Emperor’s youngest and most beloved daughter.

She was born in the final millennium of the Celestial Emperor’s rule, a being blessed by all the Gods.

"The last millennium?"

As they walked further in, while continually tossing the Celestial Destiny Bone Armor, Li Boyang quickly deciphered those records, words from tens of millennia ago.

Undeniably, the information on every beam and column of this palace refreshed Li Boyang’s understanding of that Celestial Emperor from eons past.

No longer just a symbol from myth, but a Great Celestial God with flesh, blood, and emotions.

The Celestial Emperor greatly doted on his youngest daughter.

To this end, even before her birth, he sought extravagant blessings from the Gods.

Neither blade nor sword could harm her, she was impervious to water and fire, capable of flight and teleportation...

Each blessing from the Gods filled the Celestial Emperor with genuine joy. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Once Gou Xing transformed into a God, these blessings from the Gods even bestowed her with authority comparable to a Celestial God.

—No one dared to provoke her, and no one could.

Gou Xing, reveling in the pampering of the Celestial Emperor and her siblings, believed that even the stars in the sky existed only as her backdrop.

Indeed, this was the origin of the name "Gou Xing."

"Is that the Golden Crow!?"

At this moment, Cyan Bird, also examining the records, let out a gasp.

Because on the floor leading to the central palace, Cyan Bird caught sight of an emblem: ten Golden Crows encircling a sun.

Beside this image, a majestic bird symbolizing "Gou Xing" lazily spread its wings.

"Didn’t the Spring God tell you?"

"The Golden Crow is the sons of Emperor Hao, and the catastrophe that ended his reign was at the behest of these ten Golden Crows."

Eyes widening in disbelief, Cyan Bird never before knew the Golden Crow were the sons of Emperor Hao.

"Do you see that sun?"

"That’s Emperor Hao, who called himself ’the Sun Above the Sky.’"

Pointing to the sun guarded by the ten Golden Crows, Li Boyang continued.

"Look closely, at the center of that sun, is there a constant change?"

As if validating Li Boyang’s words.

As Cyan Bird and Xiluo watched intently, they indeed found that at the center of the sun, a nameless Sun God seemed to faintly emerge.

Even separated by millennia, that Sun God still seemed alive, opening its eyes.

Despite their bravery, when faced with the Sun God’s gaze, both Cyan Bird and Xiluo felt a chilling fear.

"He is... alive!?"
