The Catastrophe (4)

Long Siye was gone.

If Gu Xijiu was not mistaken, he had ascended to heaven and become a celestial being. However, Gu Xijiu was not given a chance to join him. She was desperate to ascend to heaven. She had no idea where the idea came from, but it had somehow become her obsession. Sadly, the way to heaven was nowhere to be found.

She had been anticipating the day when Long Siye finally became a celestial being. Unfortunately, she did not get what she was hoping for. The result was very disappointing. 

Snow sluiced down over the earth as Gu Xijiu stood in the clouds contemplating what had happened. Suddenly, the Firmament Stone started talking to her. "Master, it is not impossible to ascend to heaven. I know how."

Gu Xijiu was obviously surprised. "How?"

"There is a pathway that connects the Lower Bound to heaven. If you find it, you can work your way up," the Firmament Stone continued.

"Where is the pathway?"
