As they were talking, a commotion broke out downstairs.
The three walked to the window and saw a blazing light burning brightly in the sky, revealing a golden list that stretched across eternity.
The Heavenly Ranking!
The Heavenly Ranking flashed high in the sky, with several lines of information constantly changing.
Fifth place, Cang Lingzi, his information turned silver-white!
Then it gradually dimmed!
Then it disappeared!
Completely blank!
brush!
Like a shooting star, it streaked across the sky and vanished in an instant.
And then!
It's Jiang Fei came in fourth!
Her name was also erased from the Heavenly Ranking!
Everyone's ranking moved up one place.
Yun Muhan and Feng Beiyou have once again ascended to the Heavenly Ranking!
tenth!
ninth!
In the Ten Thousand Immortals City, the people were stunned.
Ten Thousand Immortals City, everyone in the Upper Realm was stunned.
The fact that two people ranked so high were inexplicably erased caused quite a stir in the First Heavens.
What's going on?
"They were ranked fifth and fourth respectively, and suddenly they dropped off the list. Is there some hidden reason behind this?"
" The Heaven Pavilion has always been plagued by internal strife and chaos! No one from them is participating in this Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly; I heard it's a full-blown war!"
" Cang Lingzi, ranked fifth on the Heavenly Ranking, is a disciple of the Heaven Pavilion. With internal strife within the pavilion, could he be dead?"
"If a person dies, their information will be erased from the Heavenly Ranking, so it's very likely they are indeed dead!"
"Don't make assumptions!"
" Jiang Fei is a Rogue Cultivator, usually elusive and rarely seen. We don't know anything about her situation!"
A huge wave of discussion surged through the Upper Realm.
Inside the inn.
"Has this empress fallen so tragically?"
Ye Yuan gazed at the Heavenly Ranking, his Double Pupils deep and unfathomable, and he sighed deeply.
Jiang Fei is an ascended being!
In the Lower Realm, he had also interacted with this empress. As fellow powerful beings from the Lower Realm, and having come to the Upper Realm together, they naturally felt an inexplicable sense of kinship.
They might both be ascendants from the Lower Realm!
He sighed inwardly.
What a pity!
Empress Jialuo!
Xie Feng stared at the Heavenly Ranking, his brows furrowed slightly. He said:
"Look closely, the way these two were removed from the list is different from before."
"In the Lower Realm, those who fall from the list due to their fall are immediately obliterated, but the information about Jiang Fei and the others changed from black to white before disappearing."
"This subtle change must have its reason. It likely means that they didn't perish, but rather failed to meet the criteria and were therefore removed from the list!"
Ye Yuan's eyes widened slightly. "Conditions?"
Xie Feng nodded. "Based on the criteria for being on the list, we can reasonably deduce the criteria for being removed from the list; there are at least three."
"First, the fall. However, I just rejected this option."
"Second, a decline in strength may have forced them to be removed from the list. This is not an impossible possibility."
"Third, their cultivation age exceeds the highest limit on the Newcomer Ranking, which is 5000 years old! This is very likely."
In the Upper Realm, a "year" is also a unit of energy.
For example, a cultivation period of 100,000 years! A cultivation period of 1 million years!
Some rare and precious treasures contain immense energy. If a lucky person obtains this energy, it is equivalent to having tens of thousands, millions, or even tens of millions of years' worth of energy!
Currently, it cannot be ruled out that Jiang Fei and Cang Lingzi may have obtained a great fortuitous opportunity, increasing their cultivation by many years, causing their cultivation age to exceed five thousand, ultimately leading to their removal from the list!
Ye Yuan said with some regret, "Back in the Lower Realm, the Empress's destruction of Buddhism was such a sensational feat. Now that she's been removed from the list, I wonder if she can still create such a memorable scene?"
Xie Feng said, "The circumstances of a person are beyond reason; just do what needs to be done in the present and don't worry about the future."
Ye Yuan nodded in agreement. "What the boss says is absolutely right."
A moment later...
He leaned closer to Xie Feng and winked. "Speaking of the Empress, I suddenly remembered some gossip. I wonder if you'd be interested in hearing it, Boss?"
Xie Feng glanced at him. "Tell me about it."
Meng Wuqu leaned against the window with his arms crossed, his face indifferent, but he subtly pricked up his ears.
He wanted to hear it too!
Who doesn't have a burning passion for gossip?
"Back then, the Empress abandoned the Jialuo Holy Land and insisted on abdicating. She then came from the Lower Realm to the Upper Realm, refusing to join any sect and wandering the world. It is said that she was not only seeking a breakthrough in her cultivation, but also searching for someone."
"Find a man in blue! I heard that he saved the Empress's life when she was at her weakest and most helpless."
" The Fleeting Life Umbrella in the Empress's hand was also left behind by this person. This heroic rescue made the Empress secretly fall in love with him and never forget him. She even searched for him for 200 years and is still searching for him now."
"The Empress didn't even know the name or origin of her savior, only that he was dressed in blue. Tsk, this unrequited love is truly touching."
Ye Yuan was filled with emotion.
Xie Feng sighed softly, "This infatuated empress is truly a pitiful sight."
There are so many people in the world who wear blue!
Finding someone whose name and background are unknown in the vast sea of people is truly not easy.
Speaking of which...
Xie Feng was somewhat moved.
In my memory, my second senior brother always wore a blue shirt...
It happened two hundred years ago, and I don't know much about it.
Because Master and my fellow disciples haven't talked much about the history of the Xuanji Sect!
The three of them...
One is addicted to having fun, one is addicted to reading, and one is addicted to rebellion...
These unreliable guys!
Although the second senior brother usually appears in blue, he is unruly, cold-hearted, and has a deep fear of women. Why would he take the initiative to play the hero and save the damsel in distress?
And so considerate that they'd even bring someone an umbrella to protect them from the rain?!
That's utter nonsense!
That guy avoids women like the plague, and he's always chanting, "The best way to strengthen one's resolve is to sever all emotional ties and love..."
A soft chuckle.
Xie Feng dismissed his thoughts.
There are many people in blue in the world; may that infatuated empress find her true love.
At this moment.
when!
A melodious and deep voice rang out.
Bell rings!
The Ten Thousand Immortals City instantly erupted in excitement.
The Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly is about to begin!
"Let's hurry out of town and participate in the competition!"
"This is a grand event that happens only once every hundred years! I've heard that the Supreme of the three major powers of the First Heavens will all descend!"
"I'm a fan of the Seven Stars Domain, I want to see Madam Wenqu!"
"I'm a fan of the Immortal Alliance, I want to see Alliance Leader Ning!"
" Madam Wenqu is the strongest!"
" Alliance Leader Ning is the strongest!"
"Bullshit! The Demonic Sect is the number one sect in the world!"
"... Why don't you two have a fight?"
"Stop babbling, the venue for the conference has appeared!"
Countless people surged out of Ten Thousand Immortals City like a tide.
Xie Feng and his two companions went out, and then called Changying them, "Going with the flow."
Ten Thousand Immortals City, there was a sea of people.
Suddenly, a burst of energy, like a volcanic eruption, erupted from the vast sky and the boundless earth!
Energy swept across the heavens and earth, enveloping millions of miles of land.
Suddenly!
An endless, winding mountain range rises abruptly from the ground!
The world shifted and the stars moved, like a dream, and the Ten Thousand Immortals City disappeared behind us, while the wind and clouds, like a vast ocean, piled up on the horizon.
The group appeared at the entrance to the mountain range, standing on an endless bluestone plaza!
The square is rectangular, with a stone platform in the very center, which is two hundred feet high.
