Zhang Yu stood in midair, looking down below. His robes fluttered endlessly amid jade mist and starlight. After a long while, he swept his sleeve, brushing aside the clouds and dust, and slowly descended.

After observing below for a while longer, he reached out and grasped, and a cracked silver ring fell into his hand. Yet it now appeared somewhat illusory and unstable.
He had once come into contact with this silver ring. There was no doubt that it was a divine artifact, but it now seemed that it was still incomplete. The one before him was merely one fragment.
