Yuan Xingdao's lips curled up slightly, revealing a mysterious smile that was hard to decipher. Then he said softly, "You will soon find out who he is."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhexian showed a hint of helplessness on his face. He slowly shrugged, as if he was not satisfied with the answer.
Then, Yuan Zhexian's figure vanished from the council hall like a ghost.
At this moment, Yuan Shifang, Shen Gong, and others were still in seclusion, completely unaware of what was happening outside.
During this period, Yuan Zhexian seemed to have enjoyed a rare moment of leisure.
He decided to take this opportunity to go out for a walk, relax, and also learn about the current situation of the Heavenly Ranking.
The Eastern Emperor Domain, as the location of the Immortal Court in the Immortal Realm, is undoubtedly one of the most core main star domains in the entire Eastern Continent and even the Immortal Realm.
This place is a gathering place for countless powerful individuals and rare treasures, filled with mystery and allure.
Meanwhile, on the central main star of the Eastern Emperor Domain—the Eastern Emperor Main Star—a magnificent and imposing restaurant stands in the center of a bustling street.
This restaurant occupies a huge area and has a luxurious and beautiful interior.
Yuan Zhexian sat alone on a window seat on a high floor of the restaurant, overlooking the bustling cityscape.
He leisurely savored the delicious food on the table, while also appreciating the fragrant celestial rations, enjoying this moment of tranquility and comfort.
The other guests in the restaurant were also engaged in lively conversation, creating a cheerful atmosphere.
Among them, the most popular topic is naturally the discussion about the Heavenly Ranking.
Everyone was filled with curiosity and admiration for the powerful figures on the Heavenly Ranking, speculating about their strength and background.
Yuan Zhexian listened quietly to the conversations of those around him.
Just then, the conversation of the Golden Immortal realm experts at the table next to Yuan Zhexian caught his attention.
One of them spoke first: "This ranking of the Heavenly Ranking is not simple. It not only represents personal strength and status, but also the face of the forces behind them."
Then, another person chimed in, "Yes, I heard that in this year's Heavenly Ranking, it's practically impossible for geniuses and prodigies without extraordinary talent to even make it onto the list."
"That's right. Many supreme sons and daughters of ancient powers have emerged to participate in this fierce competition."
A third person chimed in.
"Even the divine sons, imperial sons, and Dao sons of the supreme powers could not hold back and appeared in the world one after another."
The fourth person then spoke.
At this moment, the person sitting next to him also spoke up: "I've also heard that even the imperial sons of the Heavenly Fate Immortal Palace, the Innate Palace, and the Dao Palace are preparing to emerge and compete for supremacy."
"I wonder if that Yuan Clan's rising star will participate in this competition?"
Someone suddenly raised this question.
However, the person sitting opposite him said dismissively, "That Yuan Clan's divine son is only at the ninth level of the True Immortal Realm. At most, he can only kill a fifth-level Golden Immortal Realm expert."
Clearly, he was unaware that Yuan Zhexian had already advanced to the Golden Immortal realm.
The man then said again, "The rankings on the Heavenly Rankings have now been revealed!"
Someone shouted excitedly.
"Currently, numerous prodigies and geniuses are fiercely competing, and most of those who successfully advance are at the sixth level of the Golden Immortal realm!"
"you do not say!"
Another person chimed in, "In my opinion, that Yuan Clan's divine son's cultivation level is probably only at the very bottom!"
The group chatted amongst themselves, seemingly not optimistic about Yuan Zhexian's strength.
However, at that moment, Yuan Zhexian overheard their conversation, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
Immediately afterwards, Yuan Zhexian slowly stood up and walked towards the table of people.
His steps were light yet steady, as if each step contained boundless power.
When the people at that table noticed the arrival of Yuan Zhexian, one of them immediately asked, "Fellow immortal, what can I do for you?"
With a smile, Yuan Zhexian humbly said, "Fellow immortals, I am new here and do not yet know much about the specifics of this Heavenly Ranking."
So I've come specifically to ask, where did you obtain this ranking on the Heavenly Ranking?
Seeing that Yuan Zhexian was so polite, the man quickly returned the greeting and then extended his right hand, palm up.
With a gentle flip of his palm, a golden rhombus mark appeared on the back of his hand, emitting a faint golden light.
"This is it!"
The man explained, "This seal is called the Ranking Seal. Possessing it allows one to know their ranking on the Heavenly Ranking."
"This ranking seal is no ordinary item. It is not only the ticket to participate in the Heavenly Ranking Competition, but also allows one to check the ranking in real time by probing it with one's divine sense. It is extremely convenient."
"To participate in the Heavenly Ranking of the Heavenly Palace, one must first purchase a Ranking Seal from the shops on the major stars."
"This seal is not cheap; it requires ten top-grade immortal stones to purchase."
"However, for those who are able to participate, this is not a big problem."
Yuan Zhexian wasn't very clear about the rules of the Heavenly Ranking, so he asked the man again, "How can one obtain a ranking?"
The man smiled slightly, picked up his wine cup and drank it all in one gulp. Then he replied unhurriedly, "Because there are just too many geniuses and prodigies participating in the Heavenly Ranking, this year's Heavenly Ranking is divided into two stages."
"In the first stage, the location is a random location throughout the entire Immortal Realm."
"At this stage, you can obtain the badges of other participants by defeating or killing them."
Once your ranking reaches 100,000, you can advance to the next stage.
"This phase has a time limit of 250,000 years."
"The second phase will take place on the main star of the Heavenly Mandate Immortal Palace in the Central Immortal Continent—the Heavenly Mandate Main Star."
"At this stage, you need to challenge, defeat, or kill other contestants to achieve their rankings."
"The time limit is also 250,000 years. If the top 100 are determined ahead of schedule, then the Heavenly Ranking will end here."
After all, battles between immortals, unless there is a huge difference in strength, usually last for several years, decades, hundreds of years, or even thousands of years under the same circumstances.
After understanding the rules of the Dao Heaven Ranking, Yuan Zhexian secretly sighed at how complicated the rules were, but at the same time he was grateful to these people, after all, they had patiently explained so much to him.
So he smiled and bowed to the group to express his gratitude.
After Yuan Zhexian left the restaurant, the group of people were still discussing among themselves.
One of them suddenly frowned slightly, as if he had remembered something. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "This person seems very familiar. I feel like I've seen him somewhere before, but I can't quite place who he is..."
