Two streaks of fire landed before the outer estate's gate. On the gate, the mark of an Old Edict was illuminated.
On the gate, the mark of an old decree was illuminated.
The mark had already been erased.
But when the fire streaks landed on it, the erased portions began lighting up again, bit by bit.
Before the Golden Ao Three Steles, Zhao Xuan watched the Dao Seal mark.
"Look closely."
"This fire didn't enter Yuxu Palace."
"It landed on the Jade Emptiness Outer Estate."

The two streaks converged on the outer estate's Old Edict.
Two lines of text emerged within the Old Edict.
