It turns out, they were the main characters.

Song Ziyang became a disciple of Canghai Peak in the last sect assessment. He had pursued Bai Ruoxi for a period of time before, but she ignored him.

So it turns out she's a loser... Mu Zhian ignored it, staring at An Lingyue with a troubled expression, and said, "It seems that there are also people in Senior Sister's team who don't like the juniors. It seems that Qian'er and I should wait a little longer."

An Lingyue frowned slightly, but could only smile and nod, saying, "If you encounter any danger, remember to crush the jade slip immediately."

"Thank you for the reminder, Senior Sister," Mu Zhian replied sincerely and respectfully.

An Lingyue smiled faintly, then turned around and came to the entrance of a cave with the other sect disciples.

She felt a little regretful, after all, Bai Ruoxi was her favorite junior sister in Canghai Peak, and naturally she wanted to take better care of her junior sister's partner.

Moreover, a disciple like Mu Zhian, who is sincere and speaks well, is very likable.

However, there's not much you can do if the other party doesn't want to come along.

"Ziyi, can you deduce which of these nine cave entrances is the best choice?" An Lingyue turned to the girl beside her and asked.

Song Ziyi, a disciple of Tianji Peak, closed her eyes silently, seemingly deducing something.

After a while, she opened her eyes, her brows furrowed, and stared warily at the ninth cave entrance, saying, "The divination for the ninth cave entrance is extremely ominous, while the others seem to be about the same."

The 'Dao' of this Tianji Peak is truly interesting; it can foresee danger in advance and then avoid it... Mu Zhi'an looked at the seemingly delicate girl and couldn't help but admire her.

After everyone had entered the cave, Mu Zhian's gaze returned to Ye Qian. Seeing that she had her eyes closed and seemed to be sensing something, he continued to wait patiently.

After a moment, he saw Ye Qian quietly open her eyes and ask, "Did you hear that voice, Qian'er?"

Ye Qian nodded gently, then hesitated before saying, "I heard you."

She pointed to the ninth cave entrance and said, "The sound is coming from here."

"The sound came from this ominous cave entrance?" Mu Zhian asked, somewhat surprised.

Was Song Ziyi's calculation wrong, or was there something wrong with the voice Qian'er heard...?

After a brief moment of consideration, he ultimately chose to believe Ye Qian.

"In that case, let's go in and take a look. If there is any danger, we can use the jade slip to escape from here."

It seems that each of the groups entering the cave this time had a disciple from Tianji Peak. After calculating, they all noticed the anomaly at the ninth cave entrance, which is why there were hardly any sect disciples to be seen at this ninth cave entrance.

Mu Zhian and Ye Qian entered the ninth cave entrance and walked along a quiet path for a while. A well-arranged courtyard came into view.

The courtyard is planted with many rare trees and herbs whose names are unknown, and the layout looks quite sophisticated. The clear sound of flowing spring water can be heard, making people feel as if they have returned to the most primitive nature.

“This doesn’t look like a place of great misfortune at all…” Mu Zhian frowned, still on guard.

Ye Qian, who was standing to the side, suddenly raised her head, her eyes brightening slightly as she stared intently into the depths ahead, and said, "That senior is in the depths here. I heard her voice!"

I didn't hear anything... Mu Zhian gave Ye Qian a strange look, then nodded slightly: "Okay, let's go take a look."

Walking a little further in, the environment became even more serene. There was a pavilion built by the lake, where mist filled the air.

At that moment, Mu Zhian suddenly heard the heavenly sound of a guzheng.

The sound came from the attic!

The lingering notes of the guzheng filled the air. Mu Zhi'an looked closely and was astonished to find that in the pavilion, there seemed to be a fairy in a green dress gently playing the guzheng. Her temperament was otherworldly, and even through the mist, one could still feel her hazy beauty.

Mu Zhian walked slowly toward the pavilion ahead, holding Ye Qian's hand tightly.

Getting separated in such a misty, ethereal place would be troublesome.

As the two approached, the sound of the guzheng became clearer and clearer. Mu Zhian also saw a few scattered disciples of the sect in the misty fairy fog.

Clearly, these disciples did not choose to join the main group, but instead went their own way and stumbled upon this place by chance.

Amidst the ethereal mist, a magnificent palace appeared before our eyes, and the graceful figure of the fairy in the green dress became increasingly clear in our vision.

Suddenly, her fingers, which were plucking the zither, swiftly moved upwards. Mu Zhi'an was startled and stared at the fairy in the green dress. His thoughts seemed to change with the music. At that moment, he seemed to see a battlefield with thousands of troops in his mind and was stunned into a daze.

Something's not right here... Mu Zhian lightly bit his tongue, the slight stinging sensation calming him down a bit.

This fairy's guzheng music is like heavenly music, capable of touching the emotions of others!

Mu Zhian looked up again at the beautiful and ethereal fairy in the pavilion. After glancing at her graceful figure a few times, he finally forgot about the music he had just heard.

At this moment, Ye Qian suddenly whispered, "Brother Mu, it's her!"

Mu Zhian was stunned for a moment, then looked up.

In the pavilion, a fairy in a green dress stroked the zither with her delicate hands. The zither music stopped abruptly, leaving the listener wanting more.

She raised her eyes, like a fairy from the Moon Palace, holy and distant, dreamlike and unapproachable.

At that moment, she was silently gazing at the two of them.

When Mu Zhi'an noticed the gaze of the fairy in the green dress looking up at him, his heart skipped a beat.

She's watching us...?

That makes sense, though. The other party might be the owner of this cave, and Qian'er just said that it was the other party calling her, so it's not surprising that they could sense their presence from such a distance.

But this fairy sister really does look beautiful...

Mu Zhian pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Ye Qian and said, "Let's go take a look."

After he finished speaking, he took Ye Qian's hand and walked towards the pavilion in front of him.

Before long, an elegant pavilion came into view. However, to everyone's surprise, the fairy in the green dress who should have been in the pavilion had disappeared from sight.

Is this some kind of game of hide-and-seek with us...? Mu Zhian thought to himself as he walked up the stairs into the pavilion and arrived at the place where the fairy in the green dress had been playing the zither, but he did not see the fairy's figure.

At this moment, Ye Qian's eyes flickered slightly, and she turned her head to look at a room in the attic, saying, "She's there."

She stepped forward and pushed open the third door from the front, and behind that door was an ancient hall.

In the very center of the main hall is a pond. In the pond, on a green lotus flower, a fairy dressed in a blue dress stands quietly with her hands behind her back, her silhouette hazy and beautiful.

Although the woman was beautiful, considering her status, Mu Zhian maintained a proper attitude and asked respectfully, "Was it a senior who allowed us to enter the cave earlier?"

The fairy in the green dress turned to look at the two of them, her beautiful hair cascading down her back, her gorgeous eyes gazing quietly at Ye Qian.

"So you've finally arrived." The voice was clear and gentle, overlapping with the voice Mu Zhian had heard outside the pilgrimage hall earlier.

"May I ask who you are, senior...?" Mu Zhi'an secretly sized up the fairy with a somewhat probing look in his eyes.

The fairy in the green dress glanced at Mu Zhi'an and said with a faint smile, "You may call me the Azure Emperor."

Qing Emperor?

I don’t think I’ve heard this name before… Mu Zhian tried to recall it briefly, but he really didn’t have any impression of the name.

"Thank you for the divine favor you just bestowed upon me, senior." Despite his thoughts, Mu Zhian was still a grateful person and immediately clasped his hands in sincere thanks.

The reason he was able to advance to the Refining God Realm so quickly while he was outside was largely due to the immortal opportunity bestowed upon him by the 'Azure Emperor'.

As for why the other party did this... the reason is probably related to Ye Qian.

After all, the other party's ultimate goal was Ye Qian.

The fairy in the green dress smiled calmly, her gaze lingering on Ye Qian, and slowly said, "Come here, little one."

Ye Qian hesitated slightly, glanced at Mu Zhian subconsciously, and then walked gracefully to the edge of the pond.

Only now, as she approached the pond, did she finally see the fairy's face clearly.

She wore a light blue dress with a light blue ribbon tied around her waist, outlining her slender waist. Her figure was graceful and beautiful, and every inch of her skin seemed otherworldly, translucent and crystalline. Her pair of emerald green eyes were beautiful yet serene, ethereal and otherworldly, inspiring no sense of disrespect.

"Senior is so beautiful..." Ye Qian exclaimed sincerely, looking at the fairy in the green dress with respect and reverence.

The fairy in the green dress parted her red lips slightly and said with a smile, "Thank you."

No woman dislikes praise, especially since Ye Qian is her chosen successor.

"Senior, your body seems..." Mu Zhian noticed something was wrong and couldn't help but ask.

Although his innate spiritual body was not as strong as Ye Lingxuan's, he could still sense that the fairy in the green dress was ethereal and hazy, as if she were about to disappear at any moment.

"My physical body has long since withered away; what remains here now is only a wisp of my spirit." She smiled serenely, every smile and gesture exuding a myriad of charms, so beautiful that it made one feel somewhat dazed.

Even Mu Zhian, a pervert who has seen all kinds of women, couldn't help but sigh at the beauty of this fairy.

Her small, red lips were full and alluring, and with her delicate nose, long, curled eyelashes, and even a touch of blush at the corner of her eyes, she possessed both an ethereal beauty and a seductive charm.

Among the people Mu Zhian knew, there were a few whose looks were comparable to hers, but he had never seen such an aura before.

It's a pity that only a wisp of her spirit remains... Mu Zhi'an looked at the fairy in the green dress surrounded by celestial energy and couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

"I've heard that once you reach the Void Returning Realm, you can generate a wisp of spiritual consciousness. As long as the spiritual consciousness doesn't perish, you can rebuild your physical body. Is there a way to help you recover, senior?" Ye Qian raised her head and asked, gazing at the fairy in the green dress.

"If it were feasible, I would have tried it long ago. However, my situation is special. If spiritual energy could be injected into it, it might be possible to reshape my body."

The fairy in the green dress shook her head and smiled faintly: "But now I don't even have a cauldron, so how can I have a method to reshape it?"

She gently raised her hand, and a seed that was emerald green appeared in her palm.

"After you consume it, you will be able to inherit my mantle. Perhaps in the future, you will be able to bring the name of the Azure Emperor back to the world."

Ye Qian slightly raised her head, gazing at the fairy in the green dress before her, and asked in confusion, "Why did you choose me, senior...?"

"You and I are somewhat destined to meet, and our personalities are compatible," the fairy in the green dress said with a faint smile.

Then, she raised her beautiful emerald eyes and gazed in a certain direction.

"She probably let you in because she knew about this."

She...? Mu Zhian's eyes flickered slightly as he followed the Azure Emperor's gaze.

Judging from that direction, it seems to be Liangyi Peak.

Could it be that Qian'er and I appearing here was also part of Shang Yanfei's plan...?

The thought flashed through Mu Zhian's mind.

He had previously met the sect leader, Shang Yanfei. Besides her unfathomable bust size, her strength and even her personality were equally unfathomable. To this day, Mu Zhian still couldn't figure out what kind of person she was.

If their entry into the Pilgrimage Hall is as Shang Yanfei predicted, does that prove that she also has a similar ability to predict the secrets of heaven?

As Mu Zhian watched Ye Qian accept the seed and consume it, he was pondering something else entirely.

The fairy in the green dress withdrew her gaze and looked at the young man in front of her.

“Little one, as payment for bringing this child to you, I will bestow upon you these six Enlightenment Seeds.”
