343 The Golden Lists Decides All Under Heaven Again
"This is the Golden Lists!" Lei Wujie exclaimed. He had heard of the Golden Lists since he was a child. Whether it was the fledgling martial experts coming out for the first time, or the long-established martial experts, none could escape the judgement of the Golden Lists and everyone aspired to have their name appear on the Golden Lists. Ever since he was a child, his biggest wish was to have his name appear on the Golden Lists. Furthermore, the Golden Lists had disappeared for many years and only recently appeared again. He had already appeared on the list but he did not see it with his own eyes. Now that the Golden Lists were right in front of him, he could hardly contain his excitement.
Xiao Se chuckled. "It’s such an honour for the Hallmaster of Bai Xiao Hall to deliver the Lists in person."
"Don't need to feel honored." Ji Xue rolled open the Golden Lists. "Even though I’m your subordinate, the Golden Lists have always been objective and fair. None of you get special treatment. Please view the lists!"
The first list on the Golden Lists, Hundred Weapons List.
The Sword Heart Tomb also had a Register of Swords but they only ranked swords. The Hundred Weapons List ranked people.
Of a hundred weapons, the spear was king. The first name had not changed and Sikong Qianluo’s mouth curled in a slight smile.
Spear Immortal, Sikong Changfeng. Spear: Dark Moon Spear.
After the spear came the sword.
Sword immortals, Solitary Sword Immortal Luo Qingyang, sword: Nine Songs. Confucian Sword Immortal Xie Xuan, sword: Book of Knowledge. Wrath Sword Immortal Yan Zhantian, sword: Army Destroyer. Snow Moon Sword Immortal Li Hanyi, swords: Armoured Glacier, Peach Blossom. Thunder Sword Immortal Lei Hong, sword: Restrain Thunder. Unrivaled Sword Immortal Wushuang, sword: Unrivaled Sword Casket.
"Lei Hong-shifu has been recognised as a sword immortal," Lei Wujie said happily.
Xiao Se and Ye Ruoyi frowned. Six sword immortals had appeared on the list. After the death of the Daoist Sword Immortal, they had expected the Thunder Sword Immortal to take his place. But, the sixth sword immortal was completely unexpected. The new citymaster of Unrivaled City, Wushuang, could open the Unrivaled Sword Casket and would naturally surpass Song Yanhui in the future. But, he became a sword immortal at such a young age…
"That kid is now a sword immortal. He's amazing." Only the pure-hearted Lei Wujie would sit there full of sincere praise for a rival.
Sabre immortals, Tyrant Sabre Tan Taipo, sabre: Qilin Fang. Ghost Sabre Zhaiyue Jun, sabre: Yin Yang. Gentle Sabre Su Yuluo, sabre: Late Fall. The list of sabre immortals had not changed. As always, Beili dominated the sword immortal list, and Nanjue swept the list of sabre immortals.
All the other names below also remain unchanged.
Only the last row read, Wine Immortal Baili Dongjun, retired and cleared from the list.
Retired and death did not mean the same thing. This retirement probably meant to withdraw from the martial world. Since he had retired from the martial world, he didn’t need to enter the martial ranking lists again.
"Is it necessary to announce this to all under Heaven?" Xiao Se asked.
Ji Xue responded calmly, "Would you prefer all under Heaven to think that Baili Dongjun is dead?"
The second of the Golden Lists was the Fine Jade List. Last time, Tang Lian, Lei Wujie, and Sikong Qianluo were all included in this list. This was also the list they could be ranked in. Now, Lei Wujie and Sikong Qianluo were looking forward to seeing if their rankings had improved further.
Lei Wujie immediately stared at the list with wide eyes, and read the names on it one by one.
"Ranked eighth on the Fine Jade List, disciple of Snow Moon City, Xie Yanshu." Lei Wujie swallowed nervously. "I didn’t know that fellow was so capable."
The youth who was always eating steamed meat buns at the bottom of the Tower of Ascension had only just entered the martial world. He only just started to reveal his exceptional talent and got listed in the Fine Jade List. The months he spent guarding the first floor of the Tower of Ascension had not been in vain.
"Ranked seventh on the Fine Jade List, Wen Liang of Wen Clan." Lei Wujie thought for a moment. "Is that Wen Liang who came to Lei Clan Fort that day? Isn’t it rare for Wen Clan members to make it on the Fine Jade List?"
The Fine Jade List had always been ranked according to martial skills. Although the Wen Clan was known to dominate the use of poisons under Heaven and everyone in the martial world feared them, martial arts had never been their expertise. Therefore, no one from the Wen Clan had been on the Golden Lists for a very long time.
"Ranked sixth on the Fine Jade List, Tang Ze of Tang Clan." Lei Wujie had heard of this name, and he even ranked ahead of them last time. "Shijie, this guy can’t compare to us now."
Xiao Se snorted coldly. "Maybe you dropped out of the list?"
"Ranked fifth on the Fine Jade List, disciple of Snow Moon City, Sikong Qianluo." Lei Wujie ignored Xiao Se and continued reading, "Shijie, not bad! Am I fourth then? Fourth, disciple of Qingcheng Mountain, Li Fansong. That fellow is progressing pretty fast! It’s me, it’s me, I’m in third place. Ranked third on the Fine Jade List, disciple of Snow Moon City, Lei Clan Fort, and Sword Heart Tomb, Lei Wujie. I have such a long prefix. How impressive is that? I can dominate you all! I’m in the top three!"
Xiao Se turned to Ji Xue and said wryly, "Do you regret putting him on the Fine Jade List? How about starting a new Fine Idiot List and place him on top for a try?"
Ji Xue shook her head, "He has the heart of a youth. He should be promoted even further."
"Ranked first on the Fine Jade List, disciple of Snow Moon City, Luo Mingxuan." Lei Wujie was surprised. "We skipped straight to first place?"
This time, not only Lei Wujie, but everyone in the courtyard was shocked. A few months ago, Luo Mingxuan was at the bottom of the Fine Jade List. How did he become the top in such a short time? What’s more, during this period of time, both Sikong Qianluo and Lei Wujie had made rapid progress and stepped into the Unfettered Heavenly Realm. What happened to Luo Mingxuan, and how did he progress so fast?
"Immortal Six Gambles technique?" Lei Wujie and Xiao Se exchanged a look. "Has he solved it?"
Xiao Se nodded lightly. "I guess so."
"Since we skipped the second place and jumped straight to first place, then there’s a second person in first place? Is it Wuxin like the previous time, or still Wushuang?" Lei Wujie continued down the list and was stunned. He looked up at Xiao Se. "Why is it you?"
Ranked first on the Fine Jade List, disciple of Snow Moon City, Xiao Se.
Xiao Se shrugged helplessly and looked at Ji Xue. "Only good for the Fine Jade List?"
Ji Xue nodded. "We exchanged moves last time. Based on your current realm, you only deserve to be on the Fine Jade List."
Xiao Se sighed. "After so much difficulty to re-enter the martial world, I’m still weaker than other people by a whole grade. Presumably, the former top ranked on the Fine Jade List who had just been named a sword immortal has entered the Ultimate Experts List? What tier is he?"
"Read on and you’ll find out. However, the other person who was also ranked first on the Fine Jade List, Wuxin, is nowhere on the list now." Ji Xue exhaled a soft sigh. "Since the moment he stepped into Heavenly Revelations, we lost track of him. We haven’t been able to find him yet."
"Not even Bai Xiao Hall can find him?" Xiao Se frowned.
"Although Bai Xiao Hall’s headquarters is in Heavenly Revelations City, the most difficult place for us to investigate is also this city. There are many places in the city that not even Bai Xiao Hall can get a foot in," Ji Xue said quietly.
"The Imperial Palace," Xiao Se said slowly.
"Could be many other places," Ji Xue said pointedly.
"Don't worry. Based on the monk's abilities, only other people will get the short end of the stick." Lei Wujie stepped forward and patted Xiao Se on the shoulder. In fact, he too felt a little worried but he forced himself to laugh. "Let's continue to read the list."
