Chen Xiao and Xu Ruyu embarked on a perilous journey to find the lost Sky City.
Based on vague records in ancient books and a few words gleaned from a wandering sage, they set off towards the east of the continent.
Along the way, they traversed scorching volcanic areas, where lava surged and churned beneath their feet, and scorching waves of heat assaulted their faces, burning their skin. They also crossed vast, boundless swamps, where the danger of sinking into the mud was ever-present, and a single misstep could lead to being swallowed by the mire.
During their long journey, they heard an ancient legend: the Sky City would briefly appear every hundred years under certain celestial phenomena, and the location of its appearance was often related to the blooming of a strange flower—the Starflower.
This flower grows only in extremely special environments, and when it blooms, it emits a dazzling light, guiding the way to the Sky City.
Chen Xiao and Xu Ruyu searched everywhere for the Starry Flower, and after many hardships, they finally found this legendary flower on the summit of a towering snow-capped mountain.
It was the time when the Starflower was in full bloom, its dazzling light shooting straight into the sky, echoing the stars in the heavens.
The two looked in the direction of the light and saw the outline of a city gradually appearing in the distant sky—that was the Lost Sky City.
They flew happily toward the Sky City, but as they approached the city, they were blocked by a powerful magical barrier.
The barrier shimmered with multicolored light and contained powerful energy fluctuations, attempting to keep them out.
Chen Xiao and Xu Ruyu tried various spells, but they were still unable to break through this barrier.
Just when they were at their wits' end, Chen Xiao suddenly remembered the mysterious jade pendant that the Spirit Realm Explorer had given her.
The jade pendant was given to her by the old man in black robes when they left the stronghold, who told her it might come in handy at a critical moment.
Chen Xiao took out the jade pendant and infused it with magic. The jade pendant instantly emitted a soft light and slowly merged with the magic barrier.
As the light flickered, a small crack appeared on the magic barrier.
Chen Xiao and Xu Ruyu seized the opportunity, quickly passed through the crack, and entered the Sky City.
A mysterious and ancient atmosphere permeates the Sky City. The buildings on both sides of the street are constructed from a kind of stone that emits a faint glow, shimmering with colorful light under the sunlight.
However, the entire city was silent, like an abandoned ghost town.
They cautiously explored the city when suddenly, a group of guards in silver armor emerged from all directions and surrounded them.
The guards had cold eyes, and the weapons in their hands gleamed with a chilling light. Chen Xiao tried to communicate with them, but the guards ignored her words and launched an attack directly.
Chen Xiao and Xu Ruyu used magic to engage in a fierce battle with the guards.
During the battle, Chen Xiao noticed that the guards moved in perfect unison, as if they were being controlled by some kind of force.
A thought struck her, and she cast a detection spell in an attempt to find the source of the control over the guards.
After some investigation, she discovered that the power controlling the guards came from a huge crystal tower in the city center.
Chen Xiao and Xu Ruyu decided to go to the Crystal Tower to find out what was going on.
They broke through the guards' encirclement and raced towards the crystal tower.
When they arrived at the Crystal Tower, they found its doors tightly shut and surrounded by a ring of powerful magical runes.
Chen Xiao carefully examined the runes, trying to find a way to decipher them. After some research, she discovered that these runes were somehow related to the power of the stars.
Chen Xiao unleashed the power of the stars, infusing it into the runes. As the power of the stars was poured in, the runes began to flicker, and the gate slowly opened.
Chen Xiao and Xu Ruyu entered the Crystal Tower, where they saw a Star Heart radiating brilliant light placed in the very center of the tower—the third Star Heart they had been searching for.
However, just as they were about to take the Heart of the Stars, a huge figure slowly emerged from the shadow of the Crystal Tower.
The figure was a towering giant, radiating a powerful magical aura, with eyes that revealed boundless rage.
The giant glared at Chen Xiao and Xu Ruyu and roared, "You outsiders, how dare you trespass into Sky City and steal our treasures! Today, none of you will leave here alive!"
After saying that, the giant unleashed powerful magic and attacked Chen Xiao and Xu Ruyu.
Chen Xiao and Xu Ruyu quickly unleashed their magic to counterattack, and a thrilling battle unfolded inside the Crystal Tower.
The giant's magical power was extremely strong, and each attack carried a devastating force.
Chen Xiao and Xu Ruyu fought back with all their might, but gradually they found themselves struggling.
At a crucial moment in the battle, Chen Xiao suddenly remembered the two Star Hearts he had obtained in the ancient tomb and the desert.
She summoned the three Star Hearts simultaneously, pouring all her magical power into them.
The three Star Hearts instantly shone brightly, merging together to form an incomparably powerful force.
With the help of this power, Chen Xiao unleashed an unprecedented magical attack.
The light, like a bolt of lightning, shot towards the giant.
The giant let out a painful roar, and his body began to sway precariously.
Finally, the giant collapsed to the ground and turned into a pile of dust.
Chen Xiao and Xu Ruyu successfully obtained the third Star Heart. They left Sky City with the Star Heart and embarked on their journey back to Night Dynasty.
Upon returning to Yechao, Chen Xiao and Xu Ruyu immediately began preparing to crack the traps in the G1 interface.
Following the instructions in the ancient texts, they set up the magic circle and placed the three Star Hearts in the center of it.
As the magic circle was activated, the Heart of the Stars emitted a dazzling light, which gradually converged into a pillar of light that shot into the sky.
Under the beam of light, the seal on the G1 interface gradually loosened. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Chen Xiao and Xu Ruyu unleashed powerful magic and rushed into the G1 interface.
In the G1 interface, they finally found Xi Xi, who was trapped. At this time, Xi Xi had fallen into a coma and was very weak.
Chen Xiao and Xu Ruyu took Xi Xi out of the G1 interface and used magic to heal her.
Thanks to their efforts, Xixi finally woke up.
However, before they could even breathe a sigh of relief, they discovered that the fake S had not been completely eliminated.
It lurks in the shadows, brewing a much larger conspiracy...
