The capital of the Seven Mansions Divine Kingdom was called the Heavenly Capital.
The Heavenly Capital was the Seven Mansions Divine Emperor's Daoist Grounds.
It was also the ancestral seat of the Dao of Night.

There was light, but even that was the light of night.
Only thirteen trillion li east of the Heavenly Capital, the capital of the Seven Mansions Divine Kingdom, could one see daylight.
A rolling mountain range stretched across the eastern horizon.
Below the mountains lay an enormous lake more than a thousand li wide.

A tea stove sat on the deck at one end of the boat.
The fire in the stove burned vigorously, and the water in the teapot atop it bubbled away.
Six people gathered around it.
Two men and four women.
Leading them was a woman dressed in black, with fair skin and a beautiful face. Her small, bright-red lips parted slightly. "All right... everyone, please have a cup of tea!"
One of the men stepped forward to pour out the tea.
One cup for each person.
They each raised their cups and took a sip.
A woman dressed in red asked, "Fellow Daoist Gu, what have you found out about Wang Dun?"
The Black-Clad Woman was named Gu Jinghong, and she was Gu Baiping's older sister.
Both were disciples of the Gu Household.
In this world, even Emperor Gu believed that Gu Baiping had taken the Primordial Chaos Supreme Dao Bell and left,
