Viscous Star Marrow seeped through the cracks of the Giant Bronze Gate. As Su Jiuli’s fingertips brushed against the inscription, the White Tiger Tribulation Mark suddenly detached itself from her body. The pattern slid across the surface like a living serpent, and the base of the monument groaned open, revealing a Wu Clan underground palace buried deep beneath. The palace walls were constructed from the skulls of Nine-Tailed Celestial Foxes; Netherworld Soul Fire flowed through the gaps between the bones, coalescing into blood-colored Star Orbits that pointed toward a bronze altar at the center of the sanctum.
Suspended above the altar was a scroll of bone slips, strung together with the finger bones of three hundred children. Each bone was etched with a variation of the Marriage Scroll Curse Seal. A sharp pain lanced through the stump of Su Jiuli’s severed tail, and the beads of blood that welled up hung in the air, congealing into a miniature armillary sphere. The shadow cast by the sundial needle on the device perfectly locked into the curse seal on the bone slips.
"Sister, you have finally found your way here..."
