Sword beams exploded in the air, and loud noises resounded throughout the heavens and earth. The entire Divine Soul Hall trembled slightly. Then, the smoke dissipated, and the temple returned to peace.

"Let's do it!" Guan Xiu Jin didn't expect Mu Hanyan to pass the third level of the trial so quickly with all her strength. They had only a short time to adjust their breathing and had not yet fully recovered their strength. However, they could not care about so much now. They could only stop in a hurry and work together to open the fourth level of restriction.

After all, even if Mu Hanyan had a magic weapon to protect her body, it would not be easy to break through the thousands of sword beams. This divine spell would inevitably cause a great loss of spiritual power, and she would not be given more time to recover.

They had not fully recovered yet, and now they were forced to attack. Everyone was exhausted both physically and mentally. Their faces were pale and sweat was pouring down. The breath in their chests and abdomens was chaotic and running around, and they almost vomited blood.

Finally, the fourth level of restriction slowly opened.

"Chief Priest Guan, I've thought about it carefully. Money, cultivation resources, and so on are all external to you. You can't bring them with you when you are born and you can't take them with you when you die. Although Lord Zhao's affairs have nothing to do with me, it just so happens that I have made some gains in the Black Wood Prison. The Flower Rain Temple has also recently discovered the five-colored soul beads left by previous chief priests. If you need them urgently, I can consider it..." At this moment, Mu Hanyan spoke.

Guan Xiujin and the others were all moved. What did Mu Hanyan mean by this? Although she still refused to admit that Zhao Xinghong's batch of five-colored soul beads were in her possession, it was clear that she was surrendering and willing to hand over the five-colored soul beads. It was just because of face or because she didn't want to bear any guilt that she said it more tactfully.

"What are you considering?" Guan Xiu Jin asked anxiously.

At this moment, golden light suddenly burst out from the Soul Palace, and the fourth level of restriction was completely opened.

"It's nothing. Anyway, the restrictions have been opened. I'll try it first." Mu Hanyan changed the subject and said.

"It's okay, we'll let you out now. It doesn't matter whether you try it or not." Guan Xiu Jin said quickly.

"No need. This is a rare opportunity. I won't be willing to die if I don't try it!" Mu Hanyan said firmly.

"..." Guan Xiujin and the others were speechless for a while, feeling so depressed that they wanted to hold their heads and cry.

Clearly, having barely made it through the third level, Mu Hanyan was terrified and ready to give in. However, they were too impatient, unwilling to give her a chance to recover, and eagerly opened the fourth level. Mu Hanyan, fearless and unfazed by the prospect of a newborn calf, had come this far, so how could she give up without even trying?

"Oh, I should have taken it easy earlier." Guan Xiu Jin sighed in frustration.

"Yeah, who would have thought that she would give in this time? What a pity." Jiang Ruchu also looked frustrated.

In the Soul Hall, Mu Hanyan almost laughed out loud.

She passed the third level of the trial with ease, even easier than the first two levels. How could she possibly give in at a time like this? To say so, on the one hand, was to deliberately disgust Guan Xiujing and the others, and on the other hand, was to disturb their minds.

This is already the fourth level of restriction. Guan Xiujing and others have lost more than they gained, and they already feel that they have suffered a great loss. If she passes it again, they may never open the fifth level seal for her, unless they know that she has made up her mind to surrender, then they may take the risk.

Of course, the reason for this was because Mu Hanyan was confident she could pass this level of the trial. The first level of the trial tested one's character. If it were any other priest, they would lose their mind or even become completely confused if they weren't careful. But for Mu Hanyan, those illusions were just memories of the past, so how could they cause her any trouble?

The second level of the trial tested her comprehension of the laws. Apart from wasting some energy at the beginning due to confusion, it still posed no threat to her.

The third level of the trial was even easier, it was actually the Holy Court Sword Art.

These layers of restrictions and trials felt as if they were tailor-made for her. Although she didn't know what the fourth level of trial was, Mu Hanyan was confident that passing it would not be difficult.

With relaxed steps, Mu Hanyan walked towards the depths of the temple again.

Suddenly, there was a loud thunder in her ears, and everything in front of her suddenly disappeared and became pitch black. A bolt of lightning tore through the darkness and struck her on the head.

The whole world froze at this moment, time stopped, and all that was left before my eyes was endless darkness and the dazzling lightning.

Mu Hanyan felt like she had entered another space, or rather, not space, but chaos. In this chaos, there was only one breath, and that was death.

"What is this?" Next to the altar, Kong Renhe showed an expression of extreme horror and spoke again in a trembling voice.

"I don't know." Guan Xiujin's pupils suddenly contracted and he said nervously.

Even though they were outside the temple, they could still feel the pure breath of death. An instinctive fear was growing deep in their hearts and spreading continuously.

They were still relatively lucky, but the high priests who were weaker in strength and determination had already turned pale and their whole bodies were shaking with fear.

"It seems like it is the great way of heaven and earth, the way of death." Jiang Ruchu said with difficulty.

Just like the way of the sword, when the divine arts are cultivated to a certain level, one can also comprehend one's own great way. The movement of the stars, the alternation of the sun and the moon, the wind, rain, thunder and lightning, the cycle of life and death, are all the great ways of heaven and earth, and are the foundation of the laws.

When these principles of heaven and earth merged together, they formed the cultivation space they were in. Ordinary people could only see the surface and could not feel the existence of the principles of heaven and earth. Only priests or swordsmen with extraordinary qualifications could do so.

Once one comprehends one's own way of heaven and earth, his combat power will increase rapidly, far exceeding the limitations of his own cultivation.

Jiang Ruchu originally cultivated the Law of Life. After reaching the tenth-rank Divine Soul Priest, he began to concentrate on comprehending the second law, the Law of Death, which he comprehended, and even achieved some success. It was for this reason that he was quicker than Guan Xiujin and the others to realize that the fourth level of the trial was the Way of Death.

In fact, the Law of Death had already been mentioned among the myriad divine arts of the previous second level trial, but it was far inferior to this one. This was the pure Way of Death, and the ultimate Way.

Even many soul priests who have practiced the law of death and realized their own great way cannot comprehend this ultimate way.

"Then Mu Hanyan is dead?" Guan Qingyun said in surprise.
