After a long while, the Snowflake Sword God spoke:
"He cannot come!"
"The Heavenly King Sea will block him."
Upon hearing this, Si Lanyue's gaze instantly dimmed.
Twenty years ago, her master had a chance to leave here with the Yan God.
But back then, her master didn't leave.
Now, her master's situation worsens by the day, and she truly doesn't know if her master can hold out until he sees the Yan God again.
"Master..."
Si Lanyue wanted to persuade her, but the Snowflake Sword God stopped her.
She smiled and said,
"Lanyue, do not worry about your master."
"We, as people of the Martial Arts, life and death are determined by fate."
Just as the Snowflake Sword God finished speaking, she suddenly stood up and looked into the distance.
In the sky above East Lake,
a huge golden light screen appeared.
"Master, this is..."
Si Lanyue's eyes revealed a look of shock.
The Snowflake Sword God showed complex emotions and slowly said,
"The people from The Temple are here!"
...
Zhou Yu and Yun Feifei had already arrived at the manor where the Broken Bridge Festival was being held.
At this time, the manor was bustling with people; martial artists from various places poured in to witness this rare martial arts gathering.
Because of Murong Fang's reminder, Zhou Yu had Yun Feifei stay away from him after entering the manor.
After all, knowing there's danger, keeping Yun Feifei by his side wasn't a good thing.
Fortunately, many ordinary people also came to spectate this Broken Bridge Festival.
So, Yun Feifei stayed with those ordinary people, thereby minimizing any unexpected events.
Meanwhile, Zhou Yu blended in with a group of martial artists and walked in.
Arriving at the edge of East Lake, everyone gathered in small groups, chatting with each other.
At this moment, above East Lake, a huge golden light screen suddenly rose.
This sudden change immediately caused great commotion.
Seeing this, Zhou Yu's eyes showed a look of surprise.
What is this thing?
He quickly extended his Divine Sense towards that golden light screen but found that his Divine Sense couldn't get close at all.
About ten meters from the golden light screen, it was swallowed by a strange force.
Zhou Yu's face changed, and he hurriedly withdrew his Divine Sense.
However, during this brief probe, Zhou Yu vaguely sensed that this seemed to be the power released by some Magic Artifact.
As he was puzzled, he heard an exclamation nearby.
"Brother Jia, is this the legendary Great Sun Golden Tablet? It's my first time seeing it." A middle-aged man in his forties exclaimed as he stared at the massive golden screen.
Next to him, a man surnamed Jia, also in his forties, nodded with awe in his eyes and said,
"Yes, this is the Great Sun Golden Tablet."
"I was lucky to see it once more than twenty years ago."
"I didn't expect to see it again today."
"It seems this Broken Bridge Festival is not simple."
Upon hearing their conversation, Zhou Yu immediately moved closer.
"Hello, gentlemen."
"My surname is Zhou; this is my first time in Hang City, and I'm not very familiar with this place. Could you explain what this Great Sun Golden Tablet is?"
Seeing Zhou Yu's young age and smart demeanor, they laughed heartily and said,
"Little Brother Zhou, you've come at the right time."
"This Great Sun Golden Tablet is not something you can see at any time."
"The Great Sun Golden Tablet is an Ancient Magical Artifact of The Temple."
"I heard it is the most complete Ancient Magical Artifact preserved in the Martial Arts World, with abilities beyond gods and spirits."
"However, ordinary people like us can certainly not see it in its entirety."
"What we can see now is just the list of the three rankings released by the Great Sun Golden Tablet."
The man surnamed Jia spoke eloquently, explaining all the details he knew.
Zhou Yu was surprised upon hearing this.
"So the three rankings are revealed through the Great Sun Golden Tablet?"
"Isn't it astonishing?"
The man surnamed Jia said excitedly.
At this moment, the man surnamed Chu next to him also looked astonished.
"Brother Jia, this is incredible."
"But why is there nothing on this golden screen?"
The man surnamed Jia laughed and said,
"That's because the three rankings are about to undergo major updates."
"Under normal circumstances, The Temple updates the three rankings every two years, but most of the time, they directly release the list."
"Only during significant events do they invite the Great Sun Golden Tablet."
"So, I guess this Broken Bridge Festival is not simple."
The words of the man surnamed Jia matched what Murong Fang said this morning.
This made Zhou Yu show a strong interest.
He began to look forward to what would happen next.
Just as everyone was fervently discussing the Great Sun Golden Tablet and The Temple, suddenly, a sound like thunder rang out in the sky.
Instantly, everyone felt a tremendous shock.
This shock was not physical but psychological.
It was as if someone had sounded an awe-inspiring bell in their hearts.
In an instant, the previously noisy crowd became silent.
The next moment, a magnificent voice sounded in everyone's ears.
"I am the Divine Hall Envoy, under the orders of the Hall Master, here to release the rankings."
"The Temple updates the Human List every two years."
"Updates the Earth Ranking every ten years."
"Updates the Heavenly List every fifty years."
"Today, as it coincides with the once-in-a-century meeting of the three rankings, we have specially invited the Great Sun Golden Tablet to announce the latest names on the three rankings to the Martial Arts World."
With the words of the Divine Hall Envoy, it was like igniting a powder keg.
Boom!
The crowd immediately erupted with excited shouts, and everyone showed expressions of excitement.
No one expected The Temple to publicly announce the three rankings; this was an unprecedented major event.
It must be known that before this, ordinary martial artists could at most get in touch with the Human List, while the Earth Ranking and Heavenly List were lofty and extremely mysterious to the general public.
No one expected The Temple to announce it to the public today.
For the martial artists attending today, this was exhilarating.
For a moment, everyone's curiosity was piqued, and all eyes were fixed on the massive golden screen, waiting for the three rankings to appear.
Meanwhile, Zhou Yu squinted, subtly urging the Force of the Primordial Spirit, probing towards the sky.
He wanted to find the hiding place of the Divine Hall Envoy, to see what kind of person this Divine Hall Envoy was...
