Time flies, and years pass quickly.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of years have passed like a fleeting moment.
Through the Heavenly Ranking Mark, Yuan Zhexian could clearly see that the names of Tai'a Qingcheng, Yuan Haoran, Yuan Ruochu, Ji Jingtian, Shen Gong, and others appeared on the list one after another.
Following that, the names of Yu Ziyu, Kong Miao'er, Jian Wushuang, and other former ancestral court masters were also prominently listed.
Finally, the names of Yuan Changkong, Yuan Suyu, Yuan Yan'er, Yuan Zifeng, and others also appeared on the list.
At this moment, Yuan Muqing was in the Central Immortal Continent, but her beautiful face was shrouded in a solemn expression.
Opposite her stood three powerful experts at the eighth level of the Golden Immortal Realm. The powerful aura they exuded made Yuan Muqing feel a sense of pressure.
With Yuan Muqing's current cultivation level of the second stage of the Golden Immortal Realm, she can at most contend with one of the eighth-stage Golden Immortal Realm experts.
However, she is now facing three powerful individuals at the eighth level of the Golden Immortal Realm. Moreover, one of these three possesses an Immortal Body, while the other two are also prodigies with second-level Immortal Talents.
Such a comparison of strength made Yuan Muqing feel a sense of heaviness.
Among the three, one of them revealed a wicked smile. He looked at Yuan Muqing and said slowly, "Beauty, hand over your official seal, and then obediently come back with me."
"I can assure you, I absolutely will not hurt you."
Upon hearing such rude words, Yuan Mu was instantly enraged and retorted in a delicate voice, "How dare you!"
However, the man not only did not restrain himself at all, but laughed even more wildly, his smile becoming more and more unrestrained, as if he did not take Yuan Muqing's reprimand seriously at all.
He stared at Yuan Muqing lecherously, and said mockingly, "Oh, this little lady is quite hot, I like her!"
His words revealed frivolity and debauchery.
At this tense moment, suddenly, three dazzling golden lights descended from the sky, piercing through the three people's bodies with lightning speed.
This sudden turn of events shocked Yuan Muqing, especially the three people who were struck by the golden light. They immediately let out a scream, clearly indicating that they had been seriously injured.
A young man and an old man appeared among them, standing quietly with their backs to Yuan Muqing.
The young man stared at the three pierced corpses on the ground, his face ashen, and slowly said, "Possessing a celestial body, one should be transcendent, yet they commit such petty theft, murder, and debauchery, becoming nothing more than a celestial thief."
"This is a disgrace to the immortal body!"
His voice was cold and stern, as if it contained endless anger.
"In that case, let us remain silent forever!"
Before he finished speaking, he slightly raised one hand and casually gave it a light clench.
In an instant, an invisible force suddenly erupted, and the bodies of the three people who had been pierced trembled violently.
Then, as if pulled by a huge suction force, it instantly turned into countless ashes, which scattered in the air without leaving a trace, truly achieving complete annihilation of both body and soul.
Immediately afterwards, the young man slowly turned around, his gaze falling on Yuan Muqing, and asked, "Young lady, are you alright?"
However, when he saw Yuan Muqing's face clearly, he suddenly froze as if he had been frozen in place.
Yuan Muqing's appearance was simply too beautiful. Her ethereal face, fair skin, eyes as clear as autumn water, and slightly upturned lips all exuded a captivating charm.
The young man was instantly captivated by Yuan Muqing's stunning beauty.
For a moment, he forgot what he was going to say and just stared at her blankly, as if time had frozen at that moment.
Yuan Muqing stared quietly at the stunned man, a slight smile creeping onto her lips.
Her laughter was as clear and melodious as a silver bell, as if it could penetrate one's soul.
Then, without hesitation, she said, "Thank you for saving me, young master. I am fine."
These words were like a clear spring flowing into the man's ears, instantly restoring the sparkle to his previously dull gaze.
He snapped out of his daze and quickly said, "My name is Meng. May I ask your name, young lady?"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Muting couldn't help but feel a sense of doubt: "How could someone in this world use only one character as their name?"
However, she did not reveal this doubt, but quickly replied, "My name is Qing."
Yuan Muqing not only imitated the man, but also only said one character of her own name.
She still maintains the habits she had in the mortal realm and dislikes walking in the immortal realm as a goddess of the Yuan clan.
Meng was taken aback for a moment, but quickly gave a gentle smile.
He seemed somewhat surprised by Yuan Muqing's answer, but did not ask any further questions.
Then, he looked at the seal on the back of Yuan Muqing's hand and said, "As the first stage of this Heavenly Ranking is about to end, you will likely encounter many unknown dangers as you travel alone in the Immortal Realm."
His words revealed his concern for Yuan Muqing, and he then suggested, "Why don't you travel with me through the Immortal Realm? That would provide extra security. What do you think, young lady?"
Upon hearing Meng's words, the old man beside him changed his expression slightly and hurriedly said, "Meng..."
However, before he could finish speaking, Meng waved his hand to interrupt him.
Meng's actions were swift and decisive, clearly indicating that he did not want the old man to continue speaking.
Immediately afterwards, Meng used his divine sense to transmit his voice to the old man, saying, "Elder Wang, from now on, do not reveal my identity."
Although the message was only a few words long, its meaning was all too clear.
Upon hearing this, the old man was taken aback at first, then glanced at Yuan Muqing, seemingly considering something.
After a moment, he finally nodded, indicating that he understood Meng's request.
And what about Yuan Muqing?
She originally planned to travel alone in the immortal realm and obtain the Ranking Seal.
But at the critical moment, Meng saved her life, and with her own Chaos Immortal Body's perception, she could also sense that Meng had no ill intentions towards her.
After a moment's thought, Yuan Muqing nodded in agreement to travel with Meng.
When Meng saw Yuan Muqing nod, a barely perceptible look of joy appeared on his face.
For the next thousand years, Yuan Muqing, Meng, and the old man traveled together, exploring every corner of the immortal realm.
During this long journey, they witnessed countless wondrous sights and mysterious places, and experienced many interesting things.
However, time flies like an arrow, and a thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Just then, Yuan Zhexian suddenly realized that Yuan Muqing had not yet made it onto the list!
This greatly surprised and confused Yuan Zhexian.
Logically speaking, with Yuan Muqing's strength and talent, she should have been on the list long ago.
Yuan Zhexian was also very puzzled.
What on earth is this girl doing?
