Chapter 73: The problem of Mushu Yuan
The announcement of the Golden List created excitement and surprise throughout the world of Tianyuan. However, some members of the Jiang Clan were displeased with the ranking of their ancestor.
"This is impossible! How could our ancestor be ranked so low?" one man exclaimed in disbelief.
A nearby elder immediately rebuked him, "Are you stupid? This ranking covers the entire world of Tianyuan, with billions of people. Our ancestor being in the top 20 is already a sign of his strength. And besides, our ancestor isn't young anymore; he's lived for tens of millions of years... Fool!"
The young man quickly nodded, "I apologize... Thank you for the reminder."
Meanwhile, in the Phoenix Immortal Emperor Dynasty, Feng Yi sat in the grand hall, asking her father with curiosity, "Father, do you think you'll be on this list? And will any of our ancestors be listed?"
The Phoenix Immortal Emperor laughed lightly, responding confidently, "Of course! Someone like me should be in the top 10. As for our ancestors, they are quite old now and past their prime. Besides Jiang Tian, I doubt any of them still have the power to make this list."
Feng Yi laughed along with her father, knowing well how strong he was. His confidence was not unfounded. She then added, "And what about the rewards...?"
The Phoenix Immortal Emperor chuckled, saying, "You're starting to resemble your mother more and more every day, you know that, little one."
"Hehe... Speaking of which, who is my mother, really? You never tell me," Feng Yi asked playfully.
The Phoenix Immortal Emperor fell silent, his expression turning more serious. "When you reach the Immortal Emperor stage, I'll tell you."
Just then, the Golden List announced the next rank. The entire world watched closely as the 19th rank was revealed, surprising many.
[Rank 19]
[Name: Mu Ling]
[Affiliation: Hidden Mu Immortal Emperor Clan, Supreme Elder of the Mu Clan]
[Cultivation: Peak Immortal Emperor]
[Reward: (Visible only to the ranked individual)]
A buzz of whispers spread across the world as Mu Ling's name was announced. Many knew her as the former head of the Mu Clan, a figure of immense power and authority from ten thousand years ago, who still remained strong. However, her placement at 19th surprised some, as many believed she deserved a higher rank.
"Mu Ling... the legendary woman of the Mu Clan. I still don't understand why the Mu Clan removed her from the head position when she was recognized as one of the strongest Immortal Emperors of the previous era and a role model for many. She started with a special immortal body and climbed from the very bottom to the heavens in just a few thousand years," someone said with excitement.
In a small world, inside a prison filled with numerous formations of confinement and illusions, Mu Ling sat meditating. Despite the many formations, she could hear the news about the Golden List and knew that she was ranked 19th. Yet, she showed no emotion; her mind was only focused on her daughter. Suddenly, a young woman with green hair, resembling her, approached and spoke.
"Where is the reward you received? Hand it over to the clan."
But Mu Ling did not respond. The atmosphere grew tense, and it seemed they could start fighting at any moment.
Meanwhile, at the Fallen Heavenly Blood Sect, Mu Chuyuan stood staring at the names appearing in the sky. She focused on a name that was familiar to her and finally whispered, "Mother..." Her tone had clearly changed. Jiang Yun, noticing the change in her demeanor, asked gently, "Is something troubling you? If there is, you can tell me."
Mu Chuyuan turned to look at Jiang Yun and noticed a formation enveloping them, preventing anyone from eavesdropping. She smiled faintly before sharing the story she had kept in her heart for a long time.
"My clan... Every time a girl is born into the Mu Clan, they select ten girls. When they turn 20, they are taken to marry the Spirit Clan in the Spirit World. No, it's more accurate to say they are sent as food. The Spirit Clan can absorb the power and cultivation of others, and the elders in the clan use this marriage as a pretext, claiming it is a symbol of friendship between the Mu Clan and the Spirit World. But it's all a lie. They do it to exchange for vast resources for themselves. I was one of those ten chosen, but my mother, who suddenly became stronger, secretly sent me away when I was 14."
Jiang Yun smiled softly, thinking to himself that it was fitting for her to be a "daughter of fortune," before asking, "And what do you want to do now?"
Mu Chuyuan nodded firmly, "Of course, Sect Master, I want to see my mother."
Jiang Yun smiled and continued, "Do you want to do it yourself, or shall I send the Guardian Elders to help her?"
Without hesitation, Mu Chuyuan replied, "I want to go to her myself, Sect Master."
Jiang Yun nodded and then snapped his fingers. A soft, resonant sound echoed in the air. "Calm your mind. I will help you become an Immortal Emperor."
Mu Chuyuan had no time to respond as her surroundings began to turn into radiant jade. Her body gradually transformed into jade, and in no time, due to Jiang Yun's time formation, the jade shattered, releasing a powerful burst of energy at the level of a lower Immortal Emperor. Mu Chuyuan immediately knelt, tears streaming down her face as she expressed her deep gratitude.
"Thank you so much, my lord."
Jiang Yun smiled, "For your safety, I will send two Guardian Elders with you."
Mu Chuyuan could no longer hold back her tears. She bowed her head deeply in gratitude, unable to replace words to thank Jiang Yun further. Jiang Yun waved his hand, allowing her to go. Mu Chuyuan stood, offering a final bow before stepping into the void that had opened before her.
The Golden List continued to announce more names, and the people of Tianyuan watched intently, eagerly waiting to see who would be named the strongest of this era.
[Rank 18]
[Name: Wen Jie]
[Affiliation: Wen Immortal Emperor Clan, 112th Ancestor of the Wen Clan]
[Cultivation: Peak Immortal Emperor]
[Reward: (Visible only to the ranked individual)]
Lin Jia smiled and remarked, "Oh, Wen Jie... Interesting. He shouldn't be stronger than Mu Ling."
Lin Qingyi, standing beside him, was puzzled by her uncle's comment and asked immediately, "Why do you think that, Uncle?"
Lin Jia's smile widened as he began to explain the story to his niece.
"10 Thousands of years ago, Mu Ling was an incredibly powerful genius, always holding the number one spot in rankings. As for Wen Jie... he earned the nickname 'Eternal Second' because every time they faced off, Wen Jie would always lose."
Lin Qingyi listened attentively, feeling deeply interested in the stories she was hearing. She had never known the extent of the rivalry between Mu Ling and Wen Jie, having only heard of their reputations before.
Meanwhile, at the Wen family estate, a man was gazing up at the sky as the rankings continued to be announced. Wen Lihua hurriedly ran up to the man, excitedly exclaiming, "Father! You've been ranked! Look!"
Wen Jie, the man being addressed as "father," immediately knocked his son on the head in annoyance. "Why aren't you training? What are you doing here!" Though he scolded his son, a small sense of pride lingered in his heart for ranking higher than Mu Ling. However, he couldn't help but feel curious about her current situation.
As the rankings continued, the names of those who held great power were revealed one after another.

Many who saw the names appearing in the sky were not surprised, as these figures were well-known and had long held a reputation in the world of Tianyuan. These individuals not only wielded immense power but were also at the peak of their strength.
Those who saw these names began to discuss them with respect. Some started recalling the legends and stories of these ranked individuals, recounting the feats and battles that had spread their fame across the continents. Whether they were leaders of Immortal Emperor clans or heads of powerful factions, each name carried weight and history.
At the Lin family estate, Lin Jia observed the list with familiarity. He nodded slightly as he recognized the names of Immortal Emperors and powerful figures he had either allied with or confronted before. Lin Qingyi looked up with interest and asked her uncle curiously, "Uncle, do you know all of them?"
Lin Jia smiled, "Of course. These names belong to people who have shaped history and become legends in the world of Tianyuan. I've met and even collaborated with some of them before. They are all individuals of great strength and cunning, especially the leaders of the Tianyuan Defense Alliance."
