However, he mentioned in the manuscript that he had personally witnessed a Third Grade Barbarian without Barbaric Patterns.

If Barbarians can do it, there's no reason Martial Artists from the Central Plains can't.

He had always been researching such matters.

Xu Guang was deep in thought.

Breaking through from Fifth Grade to Fourth Grade, and constructing one's unique Alien Body, is actually a process that involves a comprehensive consideration of various conditions like Gold Attribute, Visualization Image, and one's own cultivation path, to deduce which acupoints need to be unlocked.

Through these acupoints, one endures the trials of heaven and earth, eventually constructing a unique Alien Body.

The human body has forty-eight thousand acupoints, and the Alien Body constructed by each individual is different, requiring a varying number of acupoints.

It's not necessarily better to unlock more acupoints, nor is fewer necessarily worse.

Everything follows the principle of suitability.

Some become a Three Divine Techniques Divine Body by opening seven acupoints, while others open thousands yet remain a Wasted Body.

It's all a collision of rational experimentation and inspiration, often requiring an extensive period of consideration.

After reading, Xu Guang felt he had benefited immensely.

Perhaps now he could begin seeking manuscripts left by Fourth-Grade Experts during their breakthroughs, but he must not read too many...

Just thinking about this gave him a headache.

His Golden Finger only accelerated his cultivation realm but had no ability to break limits. Moreover, the cultivation of the Martial Dao's Alien Body in this world has a strong personal style.

Even if the Golden Finger could help him break through to Fourth Grade, he would most likely try it out to confirm it truly suited him.

He didn't want to become a Wasted Body and be ridiculed in the end.

Considering these things now is somewhat premature. Xu Guang quietly refined the Spirit Crystal, recovering himself while continuing to research the things he had obtained during this period.

Although he had taken some risks during this time, he had gained a lot, and there were many things he needed to study.

He needed a quiet place that could provide a wealth of experience, to retreat and consolidate for a while.

To his surprise, for several days, no one came to pursue him at all.

It was as if the Dragon Gate really let him go.

The slightly risky routes he had designed before proved to be unnecessary.

'That old tortoise Nan Xuan, really knows how to endure!?'

He had already anticipated Nan Xuan's appearance to kill him and had prepared a lot for it, taking the Lanshan outer route, through the Thunder Pool, and crossing the Ghostly Land...

There was even a chance that he could counterattack Nan Xuan.

But the person never showed up from beginning to end.

Xu Guang couldn't help but feel a trace of dread in his heart.

He wasn't afraid of reckless people; he was more afraid of those who were as cautious and ruthless as him.

No matter how strong a reckless person is, their strength will more or less be out in the open.

But those who are cautious and ruthless are like a big boss with question marks all over their heads.

After traveling for a few more days, having almost crossed the Ten Thousand People Pit Ghostly Land, Xu Guang was finally at ease.

After so long without being caught up, even if the other party wanted to pursue now, it would be extremely difficult in this vast Ghostly Land.

He and Ah Wei were considered lucky; the strongest Fierce Ghost they encountered on this journey was only Fifth Grade, and Ah Wei could sweep it away with a single gesture.

The strongest Fierce Ghost in the Mass Grave was rumored to be as strong as Second Grade.

Xu Guang speculated that it was the emergence of Lanshan that had scared many ghosts into hiding.

Fierce Ghosts lack intelligence but have instincts. The stronger the ghost, the more pressure it feels from Lanshan.

After several days of travel.

From afar, Xu Guang saw a hillside.

The hillside was steep and long, like a Celestial Ladder.

Xu Guang's heart skipped a beat, "Could it be that I've already crossed the Ten Thousand People Pit Ghostly Land?"

He was pleasantly surprised and signaled Ah Wei to go up the mountain.

Wangdang Mountain is replete with Ghostly Lands.

This point is acknowledged by Martial Artists of the current world, and along with Feng Mountain between North and South Kunlun, these are the two most dangerous large mountains in the current world, filled with Fierce Ghosts. Even Demon Beasts and Alien Species are much stronger and more dangerous than those of the same realm in the outside world.

No one knows what Wangdang Mountain was like thousands of years ago, but one thing is certain, it holds extremely important significance.

The mountain contains countless ancient buildings, with diverse styles, unlike those of any single period.

Heading north all the way, Xu Guang saw many things in Wangdang Mountain that he had never seen before.

He saw a village inhabited by many people, mostly commoners, surviving deep within Wangdang Mountain. He didn't approach but could still feel a strong, terrifying aura.

Ah Wei is very sensitive to the aura of Demon Beasts.

Thus Xu Guang knew he had encountered a village that worshipped Demon Beast Alien Species as gods.

Sixty miles outside the village, he saw that Demon Beast.

It was a Thousand-eyed Fierce Tiger.

Its body was as colossal as a mountain, even larger than General Wei's current form. Its mottled tiger skin was covered with eye-like patterns. For such a grade of an alien species, such patterns couldn't just be for decoration and intimidation.

Xu Guang carefully retreated.

The fierce tiger also noticed his presence, but it seemed full and did not develop any killing intent towards Xu Guang and General Wei, and it did not even stand up. Yet the aura rolling off its body suppressed everything within a hundred miles into silence.

'Truly terrifying... Is it Fourth Grade? Or Third Grade?'

Xu Guang didn't know and had no desire to find out what kind of price the village paid each year to receive that tiger's protection. That wasn't his concern.

He even thought that living under the protection of that tiger might be much better than living under the 'protection' of the Liu Clan in his family back in the day.

...

After another two days, Xu Guang was already feeling the pressure. He had to keep his Divine Thought active at all times, guiding the Starlight to find a way forward. Here was already considered the depths of Wangdang Mountain, where dangerous Ghostly Lands were everywhere.

So his pace slowed down; in such a place, his acquisition of experience was even scarcer, and he didn't even dare to make too much noise with basic running.
