"Brother, that Xu Guang is a formidable rival! I heard from the people of Jiufeng Mountain that Xu Guang, with the help of the Great Beast, has already twice slain Fifth-Grade experts!"

A Dianyin Sect disciple, Meng Hao, whispered.

"Hmph, just an insignificant rabble. No matter how strong the Great Beast is, it's just a mere Sixth-Grade in my eyes, I can suppress it with a flip of my hand."

On a cushion, a man kneeling opened his eyes, his gaze sharp and bright, with an almost celestial aura, and a moon wheel at the center of his brow.

His name was Mou Zhen, an Innate Body.

He was very special, having been meticulously cultivated by the Dianyin Sect since childhood, with a naturally gifted Spirit Bone. Within him, a moon wheel was nurtured, innately possessing the Gold Attribute. Once he strengthens himself, he is a Fifth-Grade Zhenren, and if it's about a real battle, he may not necessarily lose.

Of course, he had a record of suppressing a Fifth-Grade Zhenren.

Even though that Zhenren was from the Celestial Destiny Sect and had been injured by a Zhenren within the sect, his battle prowess was not greatly diminished, and Mou Zhen was able to suppress him.

This was enough to prove that Mou Zhen was a rare talent seen once in a hundred years.

A Sixth-Grade challenging a Fifth-Grade is almost legendary.

But he was able to accomplish it, and his strength was evident.

"Indeed, even the Sect Leader has said that you, Brother, are already invincible among the Sixth-Grade."

Mou Zhen nodded.

"However, today I saw that old witch seemed to have some interest in Xu Guang?"

Meng Hao mentioned this with a mischievous smile at the corner of his mouth.

Mou Zhen's eyes also showed a trace of amusement, "I noticed too, how interesting, today I saw a woman standing next to him, not sure what she means to him. If she knew Xu Guang had served the old witch, her expression would surely be interesting."

"Oh, by the way, Brother, what do you think of Tang Feng?"

Mou Zhen's eyes showed a trace of disdain, "What is he? Without satisfying the old witch in bed, what qualification does he have to be here?"

Meng Hao frowned slightly, "Brother, don't be careless. For some reason, I always feel that this person is somewhat dangerous, perhaps he found some opportunity last year in Yongzhou."

Mou Zhen put away his disdain, knowing that this junior brother before him had Secret Techniques and an unusual perception.

"We should just be careful then."

...

Inside the wooden house.

Xu Guang opened his eyes, filled with an unshakable strangeness.

How could someone with Zhiyi Taoist's status be such a person?

He found it hard to believe the gossip he heard from Mou Zhen and Meng Hao. These two had ordinary strength, and he dared to use a Feng Shui Array along with his Divine Thought to eavesdrop on them.

But he dared not directly monitor Master Zhiyi.

Yet, somehow he felt that what these two said was true.

No wonder he felt a familiar and strange vibe between Tang Feng and Zhiyi Taoist.

It was clearly like the pairing of a female CEO and a pretty boy.

So, was Zhiyi Taoist developing feelings for him? Is this the reason he sensed malice from Master Zhiyi?

Why would Tang Feng, who also had a slightly malicious gaze towards him, do so?

Out of jealousy?

Impossible!

Xu Guang dismissed his own assumption.

Forget it, thinking too much about it serves no purpose. If those people have any designs upon him when entering the Ten Thousand People Pit, he will kill them.

In the Ghostly Land, anyone can die, what can the Dianyin Sect do!

...

The days leading up to entering the Ten Thousand People Pit Ghostly Land were drawing near, Xu Guang also relaxed a little and didn't keep his nerves too tight.

Occasionally, he would go to Chuannan Prefecture to chat with Jiang Zi Yun. Her knowledge surprised him, and talking with her revealed many things to him.

It was a channel for gaining insight.

One day, as the two walked by the Chujiang River, they stood close together.

Between them, it seemed as though only a thin sheet of paper was yet to be pierced.

However, neither Jiang Zi Yun nor Xu Guang attempted to break it.

Because of their experiences, neither felt very secure, and they hadn't known each other for long; this relationship probably needed more time.

Yet neither Xu Guang nor Jiang Zi Yun appeared to be in a hurry.

"Do you ever get the feeling that something is going to happen in Zouchuan Dao?"

Xu Guang looked at Jiang Zi Yun, puzzled.

Jiang Zi Yun looked serious, "For some reason, I always feel that... the peaceful times in Zouchuan Dao won't last long."

"Do you have any reasoning for this?"

Xu Guang grew more serious as well.

Jiang Zi Yun shook her head.

Xu Guang didn't question further, only turned to gaze at the shimmering Chujiang River.

Every time he heard about dangers, he couldn't help but think of his own cultivation.

The Sea-Overturning True Skill was about to enter the beginner level, and he suddenly had this strange thought in his mind. Was the Jade Cicada True Skill's scattering technique and condensing spirit method really the best solution?

Elder Yuchan had only theorized about this cultivation technique and had never fully practiced it.

But he kept emphasizing that the essence of the Jade Cicada Visualization Image was Life and Death, Prosperity and Decline.

Looking at the Chujiang River nurturing countless people, a peculiar feeling suddenly emerged in his mind.

Life and Death, Prosperity and Decline, flourishing as the sea, withering like a cicada.

Was he simultaneously cultivating the Sea-Overturning True Skill and the Jade Cicada Shedding God two fundamental techniques?

A wondrous feeling surged in his heart but then suddenly dissipated like a dream and vanished.

An empty, lost feeling welled up inside him.

This feeling was uncomfortable, like losing something very important to him in a fleeting moment.

...

April 30.

Xu Guang opened his eyes from the wooden house in the valley of Wanhua Peak, eyes filled with disappointment.

What did he grasp by the Chujiang River last time, and what did he lose at that moment?

The sky was faintly brightening.

Xu Guang advanced out of the sitting position.

When he reached the Outer Sect square for gathering, he was stopped by someone.

"I am Jiang Wuyou of the Jiang Family, nice to meet you, Brother Xu."
