Under the Heavenly Gate, the entire Mortal World is enveloped in darkness.
On the peak of Dushuo Mountain above the vast East Sea, at an unknown time, a bright white full moon silently rises, casting radiant silver light for miles.
If you look closely, that clear and cold full moon seems to be composed of billions of exquisite and complex rune inscriptions.
The eight moon phases change in sequence: full moon, gibbous moon, last quarter moon, waning crescent, new moon, waxing crescent, first quarter moon, waxing gibbous, and finally back to the full moon.
Symbolizing the cycle from life to death, and then from death to rebirth.
The source of that full moon is the [Dragon Tower Phoenix Pavilion], heavily sealed by a grand formation.
Sitting on the Jade Couch, Huang Wu's breathing completely disappears, her skin as white as transparency, like turning into a lifeless white jade figure.
