He Xuan's physical body had shattered so quickly that it could be said to have been related to his shattering that statue back then.
Qin Fengming's soul had carefully examined the gray specks of starlight that had invaded He Xuan's body at the time. He had not discovered anything dangerous about them.
Yet after those gray specks emerged amid the surging Yin energy, they caused He Xuan to absorb twice as much energy as Fang Liang, who was in the same Yin energy.
It was precisely the influx of such a massive amount of energy into his body that left him unable to bear the burden, ultimately causing his physical body to shatter.
If that mass of gray light had not existed, He Xuan would have been just like Fang Liang at this moment, still gritting his teeth and persevering, but he would not have lost his physical body.
This situation could not be separated from that Daoist Yimu.
When He Xuan had spoken of the words left behind in the wooden hairpin by Daoist Yimu, Qin Fengming had already sensed that Daoist Yimu had not left any good intentions behind.
But he had never imagined that Daoist Yimu could seal such a vast amount of Yin energy in that cavern.
If such tremendous Yin energy were released bit by bit, it naturally would not threaten cultivators. Instead, it could rapidly advance their cultivation. But if it were released all at once as the three of them had done, then even a Profound Spirit existence would likely fare poorly under the invasion of such vast and magnificent energy.
