"So many...so many powerful figures have fallen here." Luo Yunsheng and Luo Yunyou suddenly said softly. Their Tianyin Clan bloodline made them particularly sensitive to this lingering obsession, and they could almost hear the lamentations of countless heroic spirits.
Just then, Amo, who had been sleeping and recuperating in Su Bai's divine world, suddenly had a violent reaction.
"Om-"
Su Bai's divine world trembled, and a stream of light forcefully rushed out.
Amo transformed into the appearance of a little boy, hovering in front of the divine ship. But his current state was very strange.
He was trembling all over, his eyes were bloodshot, and he stared intently at the floating ruins in front of him, his eyes filled with fear, sorrow and disbelief.
"Amo, what's wrong?" Su Bai asked with concern.
Amo did not answer, but instead stretched out his small hand with trembling hands, pointing to a huge, floating ruin in the void ahead.
It was a broken, towering white jade pillar, with lifelike stone-carved golden dragons coiled around it. Although only half remained, it was still tens of thousands of feet tall, stretching across the Milky Way, exuding an aura of majesty and holiness.
Beside the pillar lay a massive fragment of a plaque. Crafted from an unknown divine material, the plaque was entirely emerald green. Though only a third remained, an ancient seal script character, imbued with the spirit of the Great Dao, could still be faintly discerned—
"South".
Just one word exudes an unparalleled domineering aura that suppresses all heavens and rules over all worlds.
Even the well-informed and proud Jiuzhen, upon seeing this character, was overwhelmed by its lingering power and instinctively wanted to worship it.
"This...this is..." Qian Duoduo's mouth dropped open, and the abacus in her hand fell to the ground.
"South Heavenly Gate".
Amo's voice was hoarse and choked with sobs, tears streaming down his cheeks and dripping into the void, "That is... a fragment of the Southern Heavenly Gate."
"South Heavenly Gate?!"
Everyone was deeply shocked.
That was the legendary gate to the ancient Heavenly Court, the entrance for all realms to pay homage, and a symbol of majesty and order!
Now, only these broken walls and ruins remain, floating alone in the desolate Boundary Sea.
Amo flew to the broken white jade pillar, her small hand gently stroking the shocking charred marks on it. Those marks were deep enough to see bone, radiating an aura of destruction, clearly indicating that it had been forcibly shattered by some extremely terrifying lightning and fire magic.
"That day..."
Amo's voice trembled as she recalled the sealed, painful memories in fits and starts, "That day, Sister Sword Master led us to conquer the Upper Realm. Everyone was so happy, thinking we were going to usher in a new era..."
"Uncle Giant Spirit was standing right under this pillar. He was wearing golden armor and secretly slipped me a Star Fruit, which he had picked from the Milky Way. It was very sweet... He said he would guard the Southern Heavenly Gate, and that when the Heavenly Emperor returned in triumph, he would take me to catch Star Beasts..."
Amo's tears soaked the white jade pillar, as if trying to wash away the scorch marks on it.
"But then... the sky cracked open. Black fire burned from behind."
"Uncle Giant Spirit was crushed to death while holding up the collapsing gate so everyone could retreat... His blood flowed throughout the entire square... He kept calling out the name of the 'Heavenly Emperor' until his last breath..."
Qian Duoduo stopped joking and quietly put away his abacus, showing a deep respect.
Luo Yunsheng and the other woman had slightly red eyes and turned their heads away, unable to bear to look any longer.
"Om-"
Just as Amo's tears fell onto the white jade pillar, a strange phenomenon occurred.
The broken divine pillar, silent for billions of years, seemed to sense the presence of an old friend and emitted a low hum.
A beam of golden light shot out from inside the pillar.
It was like a guiding light.
The golden light pierced through the layers of temporal storms, like a lighthouse in the night, pointing to the deeper reaches of the Boundary Sea.
Amo suddenly raised his head, looked at the golden light, and a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes.
"That's... the lingering obsession of Uncle Giant Spirit! He's guiding us!"
Amo wiped away her tears, turned to look at Su Bai, and said, "I remember now, that's the direction leading to the 'Central Heavenly Palace'!"
As a spirit born from the Heavenly Emperor's Medicine Garden, Amo held a special position in the ancient Heavenly Court. She was regarded as a source of joy by many powerful figures and witnessed that most glorious era.
"Amo, where exactly is the 'Central Heavenly Palace' that the golden light is pointing to? And what is the connection between the Human Emperor's Secret Treasury and that place?" Su Bai asked, his expression serious.
Amo pointed to the abyss area shrouded in thick fog at the end of the golden light and said earnestly:
"The ancient Heavenly Court was built on the remnant roots of a World Tree called 'Jianmu'. The Central Heavenly Palace was the place that ruled over all realms and was also the central hub of the entire ancient Heavenly Court."
"Below the Central Heavenly Palace lies a floating black continent known as the 'Hou Tu Palace,' which is the Daoist temple of the Human Emperor Uncle."
At this point, Amo seemed to recall something, a hint of nostalgia flashing in his eyes: "Uncle Human Emperor was an eccentric. He disliked luxury and just farmed and raised fish. Everyone laughed at him for being an old farmer, but he was someone no one dared to offend except for Sister Sword Master. The secret vault... should be deep underground in the Thick Earth Palace!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Yunsheng nodded and added, "That's right. According to the bloodline memories that my sister and I awakened, our ancestors built the secret vault at the deepest part of the 'Thick Earth Palace' to prevent the inheritance from being cut off after the destruction of the Heavenly Court. It is connected to the earth's veins and is naturally sheltered by the Great Dao."
Luo Yunsheng glanced at his sister Luo Yunyou beside him, his expression solemn: "This is the highest secret of my Human Emperor lineage. Apart from my sister and me and you, my junior brother, no one else in this world knows it."
At this point, Amo seemed to remember something, his expression suddenly changed drastically, and his body became distorted and twisted, as if in great pain: "Ah---I remember, I remember everything! The Heavenly Emperor, the destruction of the ancient Heavenly Court was all because of the Heavenly Emperor!"
Su Bai and the others' expressions suddenly changed drastically.
The ancient Heavenly Court has fallen, and there are still such secrets?
Is it all because of the Heavenly Emperor?
In Amo's memory, the Heavenly Emperor was always a gentle and kind older brother who cared deeply for all living beings. He would water her plants and tell her stories.
To this day, she still can't understand why that older brother suddenly turned into such a cold-blooded and ruthless devil.
Su Bai and the others' expressions suddenly changed drastically.
The ancient Heavenly Court has fallen, and there are still such secrets?
"Amo, is all of this real? What exactly happened?"
"That day...that day was so scary."
"Everyone was preparing for a victory celebration that day, but... but the Heavenly Emperor... that villain suddenly changed. A lot of black energy emanated from his body, making him look so unfamiliar and terrifying... and then he attacked the Sword Master and the Human Emperor..."
Su Bai and the others' expressions changed again.
It seems that something significant must have happened back then, something unknown to the outside world.
However, the final answer will only be known at the very end.
He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
"Since it's top secret, the Demon Kingdom shouldn't know about the existence of the secret vault. But the Central Heavenly Palace is the core of the ancient Heavenly Court, and the Demon Kingdom will never let it go unchecked. On this trip, we'll probably have to venture into the heart of the Demon Kingdom."
