The Twenty-Eight Mansions dragon-locking nails at the base of the bronze coffin hummed and trembled, their surfaces revealing dark golden dragon patterns. As the bloodstain on the tip of Su Jiuli's tail swept across the Heavenly Fox Clan emblem on the nail cap, the dragon aura within the coffin suddenly collapsed, condensing into a half-page fragment of the *Primordial Era Dragon Bone Covenant*. The text recorded a blood oath between the First Generation Xuanming and an unknown entity: sacrifice one hundred thousand dragon souls to keep the Star Gate sealed forever!
"A blood oath revealed by the covenant..."
The dragon pattern on the tip of the Tribulation-Breaking Pestle suddenly dimmed, and Star Eclipse black spots crawled over its dragon-scale engravings. The veins on Lin Xuan’s right arm, gripping the pestle, bulged violently. A tribulation mark spread from between his brows to his elbow, resonating with the trembling of the locking nails. The Heavenly Fox Clan emblem on the nail cap suddenly tore away from the coffin and swirled through the air, piecing together a partial Star Palace survey map in the void. The missing "Celestial Market Enclosure" position on the map corresponded exactly to the strange Star Chart seeping from the base of the Boundary-Town Monument!
