If possible, perhaps I can leverage the power of the Golden Finger to decipher the inscriptions on the Bronze Fragment.

"Do you know that person?"

Xu Guang asked.

He was asking Jiang Zi Yun, as Shen Muyu was more of a layman, likely preoccupied with thoughts of destroying Buddhism, and he didn't expect her to answer.

Jiang Zi Yun thought for a moment, then shook her head, "I don't know, but the name Li Ling… sounds familiar…"

"That was the Great Zhou Grand Ancestor's name."

After Xu Guang said this, he fell into silence.

His heart was not calm.

The figure in the halo seemed to have gone mad, but the few words he uttered while slaying the Barbarians left a deep impression on him.

Yan'Er is someone's name. Just recently, he knew of someone with a name that includes Yan, the founder of the Celestial Destiny Sect - Xin Nanyan.

Like Li Ling, they both belonged to a certain terrifying Major Sect.

Combining these circumstances, Xu Guang roughly inferred some information.

In the past, Li Ling must have had some mission coming to the Central Plains, eventually establishing the Great Zhou Dynasty, but something untoward happened, or perhaps the Great Zhou Grand Ancestor Li Ling did something, leading his backing Sect to believe he betrayed them…

But this brings up several questions, where is the Sect behind Li Ling?

Is it in some place in Outer Heaven? How many such forces are there, and why have they never appeared before?

Or is it in another world, beyond the stars?

Is the Immortal Hall on this Lanshan the place hiding the Six Emperors' legacy?

Xu Guang didn't want to think about so much, but his lively and divergent thinking made it impossible for him to stay calm, causing his mind to wander aimlessly.

"What… do we do next?"

Shen Muyu looked towards the ground with little hope of the Thunder Pool dissipating anytime soon and asked in despair.

Xu Guang looked at the surrounding terrain, slowly exhaled, "Let's go up the mountain first to see if these Thunder Lights will fade."

With the intensity of these Thunder Lights, retracing their steps was hopeless.

The two women nodded.

Just as they were about to leave, Xu Guang suddenly saw a figure struggling and wailing on a section of the bank.

It was a Barbarian, his lower body already gone, with erratic body paintings that seemed like random doodles starting to glow faintly, like a rising sun.

His hand clutched a long black stripe-like object, akin to a Demon Beast's tail.

Xu Guang recognized it.

It was the giant python that had followed this group of Barbarians, only half of its body remaining!

Without waiting for the two women to speak, Xu Guang took a sudden step forward, countless halos appearing around him, and General Wei charged out simultaneously, like a tank, rushing towards the opponent.

The Barbarian sensed a forceful wind from behind, turned, and a trace of anger surfaced on his face.

But his injuries prevented him from making any effective counterattacks.

Boom!

The Earth Immortal Wandering Dragon Sword moved unpredictably, and as it approached the Barbarian, the Barbaric Patterns on his body flickered, then he astonishingly transformed into a bat right before Xu Guang's eyes!

It wasn't the dragon shape condensed by Qi Force as in the Celestial Dragon True Skill, but a fundamental alteration of his body structure, turning him into an Alien Species!

The bat, without wings, leapt to attack Xu Guang like a hen.

The motion was comical, yet incomparably swift, and in the blink of an eye, it crossed dozens of meters, one claw reaching for Xu Guang.

The claws shimmered with silver light, incredibly sharp, and faintly emitted a subtle azure sheen, evidently laced with poison.

Xu Guang dared not slacken, lowered his stance, and raised the Earth Immortal Wandering Dragon Sword in his hand like a great hammer, smashing it down forcefully!

The tremendous strength brought by the Elephant Contract was coupled with the simultaneous fusion and eruption of various Qi Force attributes within his body.

Bang!

The world suddenly resounded with a loud noise, the surroundings reverberating this intense collision sound.

Xu Guang retreated half a step with a surprised look.

The bat seemed unaffected and was about to attack again, but this time, what awaited it was Ah Wei's massive ivory!

Boom!

The bat was abruptly blown away; Xu Guang leaped into the air, Long Sword swinging.

Ah Wei quickly followed, and with General Teng's aid, they forcibly restrained the bat; the Long Sword slashed across the bat monster's body.

Its head rolled to the ground, reverting to human form.

Xu Guang stepped forward to examine carefully.

The adversary was truly dead.

He rummaged around, the Barbarian's status was high, carrying numerous items.

Mostly brutal and gory, as if directly taken from Exotic Beasts.

"What are these things? These Barbarians are truly ruthless."

Shen Muyu couldn't help but speak.

Xu Guang ignored her, continuing to search, when suddenly he noticed a peculiar Beast Skin Scroll.

This Beast Skin Scroll seemed familiar to him.

Previously when Shi Moyun died, he got a scroll with the same texture from him.

At that time, it was incomplete, and its purpose was unclear, and Xu Guang merely kept it.

Does it possibly…

Fit together?

Xu Guang looked somewhat surprised, attempting to piece them together.

The two pieces connected to form an unusual pattern, resembling certain meridians and acupoints within a human torso? Yet, it slightly differed from the current Martial Dao meridians.

Is this…

Xu Guang frowned while observing.

The two women only took a glance before losing interest.

But Xu Guang became increasingly fascinated, for reasons unknown, he vaguely perceived many strange things on this peculiar image.

He attempted to use Qi Force to locate these meridians and acupoints within his body, letting Qi Force bump around inside.

This wasn't something achievable purely by this diagram, as it involved many aspects, particularly related to the Daoist Sect.

Suddenly...
