Three life and death stones merged with his body on their own. Adding the two from before, he now had five life and death stones inside his body. Four of them could help him reach the third level of the life and death challenge, and the last one would help him improve his mental state, which would make it easier for him to reach the peak level of the third level.
Once he reached the peak of the third layer, he would only be a step away from the Life-and-Death Realm.
"There are still twenty days left before the realm closes. I should be able to reach the third layer by then. During this time, I can also comprehend the water profounds."
Inside the Life-and-Death Palace was a strange garden. Every flower, every grass, every mountain, and every river was extremely mysterious. Not only did they contain the cycle of life and death, but they also contained the essence of all sorts of profounds. In a moment, they would all be transported into this garden until the realm closes.
Just as Ye Chen was deep in thought, the stone tablet suddenly shone brightly, breaking through the Life-and-Death Palace and arriving above the whole Life-and-Death Secret Realm. It then enlarged thousands of times until it looked like a mountain. Even the young experts in the outer region of Life-and-Death Secret Realm could see the shining words on the stone tablet.
"What? Ye Chen is number one? Who is Ye Chen?"
"Marquis Sword Star was actually pushed down from first place to fourth place? What happened?"
"Young Elephant Shaoluo's ranking also dropped. He can't even enter the top five."
The young experts in the inner region and outer region were stupefied, astonished by this ranking.
There were actually five newcomers in the top ten, and four of them were in the top five. How could they not be astonished? Each and every one of them was shocked to the point of going crazy.
"Ye Chen … Haha, it's Ye Chen, from our True Spirit Continent."
"When Ye Chen left True Spirit Continent, I thought he would disappear forever. Who would have thought that he would be even more frightening than when he was on True Spirit Continent, becoming the first in the Life and Death Substitute List."
The young experts of True Spirit Continent were exceptionally excited, not because they had a good impression of Ye Chen, but because of admiration for a peerless genius. Moreover, Ye Chen came from True Spirit Continent. Dozens of years ago, True Spirit Continent had produced Xuanhou, and now, Ye Chen had appeared. This kind of pride was hard to understand.
The people in the Hall of Life and Death had no idea what was going on outside. Even if they knew, they would not care.
Buzz!
Everyone was transported from the small chamber to the large chamber and gathered together. Then, the wall in front of the large chamber suddenly opened, and a strong but not dazzling light shone in.
What was exposed to the crowd was a garden, a garden of unknown size. What they saw was only the tip of the iceberg.
"It's the garden of the Hall of Life and Death!"
The Life and Death Palace's garden had gathered the essence of the entire Life and Death Secret Realm. Inside, one could directly feel the cycle of life and death, as well as the circulation of profound.
At this moment, even the calm and unperturbed Marquis Sword Snow's eyes shone. The eyes of the white-haired and grim-faced Dugu Jue turned fiery.
There was no communication, no talking. Everyone walked into the garden together.
"Senior Sister Xu Jing, let's go as well."
Ye Chen held Xu Jing's soft hand.
"En!"
Xu Jing faintly nodded.
As soon as they entered the garden, the passage behind them suddenly closed.
"What a miraculous place! These flowers wither and die with a single touch, and then grow back again." Xu Jing's palm touched the flower next to her. Unexpectedly, this delicate and beautiful flower withered and died as soon as it came into contact with it. After a few blinks of an eye, it returned to its original state.
"Life and Death Reincarnation, in addition to wood profound!"
Ye Chen sighed.
Entering the Life and Death Secret Realm was a once-in-a-decade opportunity. Therefore, the two did not waste their time on romance. After a few moments, they parted ways.
With a faint fragrance lingering in his hand, Ye Chen sucked in a deep breath, feeling quite satisfied.
"Parting now is only for meeting in the future. Increasing my strength is more important."
Dispelling all distracting thoughts, Ye Chen carefully observed every flower and grass in the garden.
After walking for a while, Ye Chen saw a lot of people comprehending. Some were comprehending a rock, some were comprehending trees and flowers, and some had entered an underground cave. The temperature of the cave was very high, and it was obviously magma below.
"My Metal Profound has already reached ninety percent completion. It will be very difficult for me to raise it further. My Thunder Profound has reached seventy percent completion, which is not easy to raise either. My Wood Profound and Water Profound have reached sixty percent completion, my Fast Profound has reached fifty percent completion, and my Slow Profound is close to thirty percent completion. My Space Profound is forty percent completion, and my Shadow Profound is thirty percent completion."
"Fast profound, slow profound, space profound, and shadow profound are all Taixu. I'm afraid I won't be able to make much progress in twenty days. In any case, I already have the space profound as a foundation, so I'm not in a hurry. As for the remaining wood and water profound, it's more practical to comprehend the water profound."
Waning Moon contained ninety percent completion of metal profound and sixty percent completion of water profound, which was very unbalanced. If the two were equal, its might would increase by several folds, and it would definitely surpass the current Bewitching Mirror Shattering.
Marquis Sword Snow's Freezing Sword Point contained eighty percent completion of ice profound and water profound, which was why it was so powerful. However, Ye Chen also discovered that his opponent had not fused the two profounds one step further. It was only a preliminary fusion. If the fusion was successful, its might would continue to increase, reaching a frightening level.
"I don't expect to comprehend the water profound to ninety percent completion. As long as I can increase it by ten percent, I'll be satisfied."
Ye Chen was not someone who would bite off more than he could chew. Twenty days was too short of time.
After making up his mind, Ye Chen began to search for a place with water.
After a while, Ye Chen stopped in front of a huge lake.
On the lake, there were already a lot of people. They were all quietly comprehending, and no one was disturbing the others.
The lake was very big, and Ye Chen chose an empty spot.
As soon as he stepped on the lake, the lake immediately underwent a drastic change. Ripples quickly spread out and then retracted, repeating without any pause.
Soon, four days had passed.
"Death Dao … This is the Death Dao!"
On a barren mountain, Dugu Jue's body was emitting a dense death aura. Coupled with his snow-white hair, he looked exceptionally frightening.
The change attracted a lot of people's attention, and dozens of soul power swept over.
"It's him!"
Dugu Jue was quite famous among the thirty-six schools. His blade arts, which were powered by despair blade intent, had left a deep impression on many people. His ranking was also not low, being the twelfth on the Life and Death Substitute List.
"The death aura is suppressing the life aura?"
Ye Chen was also paying attention to this area, and his face was filled with astonishment.
After entering the Life and Death Chamber, everyone would have a life-and-death aura. Life-And-Death aura was naturally the aura of life and the aura of death. At this moment, Dugu Jue's death aura was suppressing the life aura. This meant that he had gained some comprehension on the Death Dao, and was close to Marquis Sword Star's.
Swish!
Dugu Jue brandished his long blade, and the deathly white blade light became increasingly profound. As soon as his soul power came in contact with the blade light, he immediately felt an intense crisis of death.
"Didn't expect him to be comprehending the Death Dao."
After thinking for a moment, Ye Chen could understand why Dugu Jue made such a choice.
Despair blade intent was originally very close to death. Compared to others, Dugu Jue could comprehend the Death Dao much more easily. This was his advantage.
"Currently, Dugu Jue, apart from the top five, which is somewhat dangerous, the sixth to tenth places are all possible!"
To have made such a huge leap in strength as soon as he entered, Dugu Jue was probably the first.
Calming his heart, Ye Chen eliminated all distracting thoughts and continued comprehending the water profound.
Three days later …
The ripples under Ye Chen's feet sped up several times, attracting the attention of others on the lake.
"His water profound has advanced! So fast!"
"Worthy of being the first on the Life and Death Substitute List."
These people's eyes were fervent as they continued comprehending the water profound.
"Seventy percent, much faster than I thought. Seems like it's because of the life and death cycle contained in the garden." The profound and the life and death cycle were intertwined together, making it much easier to comprehend. Of course, this was also related to Ye Chen's soul power, which was five times higher than ordinary people's.
"In that case, I should aim higher and try to reach eighty percent completion in the water profound."
Not staying here any longer, Ye Chen left the lake.
He was already familiar with this place, and there were other places with water in the garden.
…
"Wind profound! So that's how it is!"
On a high ground, Lan Sanmei unceasingly brandished his blade. His blade arts contained vibration power and dark profound, as well as a kind of wind profound.
The wind profound and vibration power matched each other perfectly. Each of Lan Sanmei's blade strikes carried an intense tearing sensation.
"So frightening!"
The people nearby all retreated, staying far away from them.
Although Lashan Mei had restrained her power and only swung her blade at a close distance without releasing any blade energy, the vibrational power of her blade art, which contained the profound of wind, was even stronger. It could travel through space and reach very far. The surrounding flowers and trees were all shattered, although they quickly grew back.
"This Lan Sanmei might be even stronger than Marquis Sword Star."
"He might even be a match for Marquis Sword Snow Ye Chen."
Someone discussed.
The waterfall rumbled down, falling on Ye Chen's body. Ye Chen closed his eyes.
The previous lake was still water, while the current waterfall was flowing water. One was still while the other was moving. The embodiment of the water profound was also different.
Two days passed …
Ye Chen opened his eyes and suddenly brandished his sword.
Rip!
The Evil Vanquishing Sword pierced through the waterfall.
"Not good!"
Ye Chen closed his eyes once again.
The garden was all-encompassing. In another corner was a lake, but it was covered in ice. Ice and water mixed together, forming a clear distinction at first glance. But from a closer look, they were indistinguishable. This was because ice would turn into water at any moment, and water would turn into ice at any moment. Such a thing could only happen in the garden of Life and Death Palace.
"Ice and water fusion!"
On the ice block, Marquis Sword Snow pulled out his snow-white longsword and stabbed out. This sword was Freezing Sword Point, but its power was even more restrained, not leaking out in the slightest.
This signified that his Freezing Sword Point had fused ice profound and water profound to a higher degree.
