The moon plate trembled, as if a large swath of pure white feathers was falling, each piece glistening, and vaguely accompanied by a clanging sound.

Xu Guang's expression turned serious, and the pressure of horizontal force erupted abruptly, even causing the bright moon behind Mou Zhen to slightly tremble.

The drifting moonlight seemed momentarily frozen in mid-air, fearful of disturbing Xu Guang.

Mou Zhen's expression changed drastically.

"Innate strange body divine technique! You are also an innate strange body!?"

He swiftly retreated several steps backward, his face showing disturbance mixed with a hint of unavoidable disappointment.

"I didn't expect Jiufeng Mountain, first there was Shen Chong, now there's you, this anomaly. In this later Great Zhou era, is Zouchuan Dao ultimately in the hands of the Jiang family, or you people from Jiufeng Mountain!"

Xu Guang's face suddenly darkened, and the pressure of horizontal force erupted once again. This time, seemingly stimulated by Mou Zhen's innate strange body, the pressure originating from Xu Guang manifested a phenomenon behind him.

A pair of crimson eyes appeared in the darkness, seemingly traversing countless spacetime, staring directly at all beings.

Under these eyes, an indescribable terrifying pressure made even those present at the sixth-grade innate have their breathing somewhat stifled.

Mou Zhen bore the brunt of it, completely enduring this pressure, and the bright moon phenomenon behind him was actually forced back into his body by those eyes.

"You!"

"Sharp-tongued, is that what the people of Dianyin Sect taught you to sow discord?"

Xu Guang's gaze sank slightly, containing a murderous intent.

Mou Zhen retreated a few steps, slowly cupping his fists, "Today, it is the disciple's disrespect, I ask Junior Martial Uncle Xu to forgive."

Backing down?

Mou Zhen actually backed down?

Everyone present looked at each other; when Mou Zhen killed the fifth-grade expert practicing poison techniques, the decisiveness and strength he showed was shocking, but here against Xu Guang, it was merely a collision of momentum, yet he opted to concede.

Everyone looked at Xu Guang with a gaze filled with surprise.

No wonder Xu Guang rose from a mere civilian in Taizhou to his current stature in just three or four years, and no wonder Shen Muyu traveled thousands of miles to suppress countless voices of opposition from the sect with the Sect Leader Jade Order to invite Xu Guang to serve as a steward in Chuannan Prefecture.

It turned out...

Xu Guang is actually an innate strange body!

Innate strange bodies almost just need to practice martial arts to easily become Innate; for him, fifth grade is not even an obstacle, and given a bit of opportunity, even fourth grade is foreseeable!

Just like the opportunity in this Celestial Pool Tomb, once Xu Guang and Mou Zhen obtain it, both are almost guaranteed to break through to fourth grade in the future.

Astounding.

Everything is too astounding.

In the crowd, overhearing the hushed whispers, Shen Muyu held her head high, looking as though she had discovered a treasure with her discerning eyes.

Xu Guang looked at Mou Zhen, "Nephew, you still need to keep diligently cultivating, your Uncle Xu was fifth grade by the age of twenty-three."

Mou Zhen's face was expressionless, yet his eyes contained a hint of humiliation.

He traveled thousands of miles to this place because he knew the Celestial Pool Tomb opens once every ten years, an opportunity he was determined to seize…

Unexpected…

"Thank you, Junior Martial Uncle Xu, for your concern, but was Junior Martial Uncle Xu unaware that the Spirit Refining Pool is useless for fifth grade?"

Xu Guang's smile on his face remained, "No problem, then I'll just use scattering technique."

Scattering technique…

Are you freaking kidding me, do you even know what you're saying?

Though the Spirit Refining Pool is good, its main purpose is to enhance one's aptitude for breaking through to fifth grade; who the hell would scatter techniques just to enter the Spirit Refining Pool?

The expressions of the people present were inexplicable, except for the disciples of Jiufeng Mountain, their eyes flickering as they recalled the events when Xu Guang entered Jiufeng Mountain.

Back then, Xu Guang seemed to have scattered his techniques to cultivate the Sea-Overturning True Skill of Wanhua Institute?

At that time, everyone thought, since then, Xu Guang was nothing but a yesterday's flower under the so-called Elephant Master title, but after Xu Guang emerged from seclusion, having won two battles defeating fifth grade, his reputation was established.

Truly a dreamlike revelation!

Could it be, his abnormal body traits allow him to quickly recover after scattering techniques?

"Now, I will explore the path, who approves, who opposes?"

Xu Guang was too lazy to care about people's thoughts, speaking again.

This time, no one uttered a word.

Everything seemed to be settled.

"Purple Cloud, Wooden Fish, accompany me on a trip."

This is an opportunity, although Shen Muyu is proud, she will not act prideful at this moment, she glanced at Xu Guang, with gratitude, curiosity, and surprise hidden in her eyes.

Furthermore, she looked again suspiciously at Jiang Zi Yun, her best friend who enjoyed reading anecdotes and interesting matters, could it be she gave herself away?

Amidst doubt, given Jiang Zi Yun's current appearance, it indeed made people suspicious, she was injured earlier, having recovered largely along the journey, yet her complexion still carried a pale tint.

Before leaving, Xu Guang's gaze lingered for a moment in a part of the crowd.

Standing there, were two people unknown.

One was Tang Feng from Dianyin Sect, the other… was surprisingly Shen Suyong!

The fact that these two people could gather together made Xu Guang somewhat surprised.

Neither of them was favorable to him, treating them like air was best.

The large gate of the Octagonal Pavilion was slowly pushed open; naturally, General Wei and General Teng could not enter.

But Xu Guang wasn't worried; on the way, he anticipated this scenario, thus he consolidated True Blood, having it swallowed by General Wei, should he encounter an unsolvable danger, he would refine the True Blood, along with his Divine Shadow and General Teng, fifth grade might not necessarily be his opponent.

As he grows, so too has General Wei never relaxed.

Upon entering Octagonal Tower, Xu Guang's muscles tensed, fearing encountering something inconceivable.

Jiang Zi Yun and Shen Muyu followed behind, quietly observing.

Moments later, Jiang Zi Yun noticed something unusual,

She held a key in her hand, which was the key to entering the next layer.
