As one of the giants of the Primeval Sect, Mu Feiqing's strength went without saying.
However, more importantly, Mu Feiqing's age was very young. Mu Feiqing, who was over 200 years old, was not considered very old among the giants.
Because he was young, Mu Feiqing's strength was still in a period of rapid growth. He was not like some old martialists whose Qi and blood had already declined. It was already not bad if their strength did not regress. It was even harder for them to improve.
Mu Feiqing's strength had always been improving. However, no matter how much he improved, every time he came to the Death Zen Peak, his strength would be suppressed without any resistance.
Just this point alone made Mu Feiqing sincerely admire this senior on the Death Zen Peak.
"Ye Chen, since I brought you here to become a disciple, I have to tell you about this senior."
Mu Feiqing turned to look at Ye Chen and said, "This senior is Yang Xuanji. He is the previous Sect Master of the Primeval Sect. That's right, he is the one I told you about before. He is the one who changed the rules of the Primeval Sect with Emperor Wu. It is said that even Emperor Wu learned under Senior Yang Xuanji …"
Mu Feiqing clearly worshipped Yang Xuanji. He did not hide his admiration for Yang Xuanji at all.
However, Yang Xuanji's actions could indeed be considered the greatest Sect Master in the history of the Primeval Sect.
Ye Chen listened attentively for a long time before he finally asked, "Senior Mu, is there something wrong with Senior Yang Xuanji's current condition?"
Just now, Ye Chen had clearly sensed that although Yang Xuanji was still powerful, his aura contained a deathly aura.
For a powerful martialist, the birth of a deathly aura would definitely cause the martialist's strength to decline greatly.
With Yang Xuanji's terrifying strength, it was impossible for him to produce such Death Qi.
Mu Feiqing's expression became much gloomier. He said, "That's the main thing I wanted to tell you. Senior Yang's strength has already reached an unimaginable level. However, this senior still wants to take a step further, which is why he created the Death Zen Art. This cultivation method is extremely special. It's said that it can only be mastered at a moment of life and death, so senior Yang has always remained on the Death Zen Peak to cultivate the Death Zen Art."
"Earlier, when you felt that something was wrong with Senior Yang's condition, you were right. Because the Death Zen Technique can only be cultivated when one is between life and death, this senior attracted the aura of death to himself, allowing himself to be trapped between life and death to cultivate. In such a state, if he was the slightest bit careless, this senior would be doomed eternally."
"In fact, it could even be said that this senior has been in a state of life and death the entire time. Earlier, when we spoke to this senior, he had to wait for a very long time before replying to us. Likely, that was because he would only be able to reply to us after recovering from his state of death."
Ye Chen had long been dumbfounded by these words.
Cultivating between life and death!
Moreover, to be able to continuously switch between life and death was simply unheard of.
One must know that for a Divine Path warrior, death was a state where even the soul would completely perish. Once the soul perished, it would be impossible to be reborn.
For example, although Murong Xue and the others were in a deep sleep, their souls had not perished. That was why Ye Chen had been able to reawaken them.
However, the state of death that Senior Yang Xuanji was trying to achieve was definitely a state where even the soul would completely perish.
"Ye Chen, this is your opportunity. As long as you can fulfill this senior's conditions, you may be able to inherit all of his martial arts. I believe that you will not be willing to give up such a great opportunity."
Mu Feiqing stared deeply at Ye Chen and said, "With your strength, you can at most stay on the Death Zen Peak for seven days. If you exceed seven days, you will be affected by the Death Qi on Senior Ye Chen's body and die completely. Therefore, these seven days are your limit for fulfilling this senior's conditions. You have to work hard."
After warning Ye Chen, Mu Feiqing turned around and walked down the Death Zen Peak.
Ye Chen took a deep breath and turned around to enter the temple again.
Indeed, as Mu Feiqing had said, Senior Yang Xuanji's strength was too shocking. If possible, Ye Chen also wanted to obtain his inheritance.
The inheritance of such a terrifying existence was a great opportunity for anyone.
After entering the temple again, Ye Chen immediately felt that all the power in his body was rapidly disappearing.
In the end, Ye Chen walked up to the Crimson Hard Jade like an ordinary person.
"As long as I use the water ball to shatter this Crimson Hard Jade, I will have fulfilled the senior's conditions." Ye Chen stared at the Crimson Hard Jade and the water ball as he pondered.
If Ye Chen still had his strength, he would be able to shatter the Crimson Hard Jade with a casual flick of his finger.
However, the problem was that all the power in his body had disappeared. It was simply impossible to use the water ball to shatter the Crimson Hard Jade.
Ye Chen pondered for a moment, then extended his hand and grabbed the water ball. He used all his strength to hit the Crimson Hard Jade in front of him.
Poof!
Water splashed everywhere. The water ball in Ye Chen's hand scattered when it hit the surface of the Crimson Hard Jade.
The scattered water droplets quickly gathered together and gathered in front of Ye Chen again.
As for the Crimson Hard Jade, it was still floating in front of Ye Chen, without any abnormalities.
This made Ye Chen, who had been hoping that there was something special about the Crimson Hard Jade and the water ball, very disappointed.
No matter how he tried, there seemed to be nothing special about the Crimson Hard Jade and the water ball.
"Could it be that I really have to use the water ball to shatter this Crimson Hard Jade? This kind of thing seems to be beyond my imagination." Ye Chen stared at the Crimson Hard Jade and the water ball and fell silent again.
Right now, he still had a total of seven days to ponder here, so he was not too anxious.
After staring at the water ball and thinking for half a day, Ye Chen slowly extended his hand again. He managed to gather a trace of remaining power and condensed it on the water ball.
With the support of Ye Chen's power, the water ball made cracking sounds and quickly condensed into an ice ball.
Grabbing the ice ball, Ye Chen aimed at the Crimson Hard Jade in front of him again and hit it.
Crack!
The ice ball shattered in Ye Chen's hand, but the Crimson Hard Jade did not change at all.
"If I want to use this water ball to shatter this Crimson Hard Jade, I have to make the water ball harder than the Crimson Hard Jade. But … can this really be done?" Ye Chen took a deep breath and tried again.
At least, he felt that the direction he had chosen was not wrong.
Suppressed by the strange power in the temple, Ye Chen could not use much power in his body.
This trace of power could only condense the water ball into an ice cube at most.
In the next few days, Ye Chen began to try again and again. He condensed the water ball into an ice ball and then used the ice ball to hit the Crimson Hard Jade.
The result was, without exception, failure.
