Starting with a useless yellow dog, he swept through the immortal realm.

After mastering the secret technique, Zhongli prepared to go to the solitary confinement room. There weren't many people permanently imprisoned in the Qingyun Sect's solitary confinement room.

Because most people, after being locked in solitary confinement, will be drained of their life force within a few days and eventually perish.

There are conditions for entering the Qingyun Sect's solitary confinement room; it's not something disciples can just enter at will.

Of course, this is not a condition for Zhong Li, after all, Zhong Li is among the top-ranked disciples of the Qingyun Sect.

With a heavy heart, Zhong Li arrived at the door of the solitary confinement cell.

Zhongli is not a good person, but if he could, he would never want to use this method of harming others to improve his own cultivation.

Judging from Tie Bei's words, if Zhong Li cannot quickly improve his cultivation and deal with Song Xun, then he will be the one imprisoned here next.

Zhong Li cannot escape because the Fate Lamp is still inside the Qingyun Sect. If Zhong Li escapes, the Qingyun Sect can use the Fate Lamp to track him down, or they can directly extinguish the Fate Lamp, which would cause Zhong Li to die instantly.

Since it concerned his own life, even if Zhongli was unwilling, he had no choice but to come and personally end the life of a disciple.

This time, however, Zhong Li saw an acquaintance.

"Yun Chen, what are you doing here?"

Zhongli, who had not returned to the sect for three months, was naturally unaware that Yunchen had also been sent to the confinement room.

At this moment, Yun Chen was dressed in rags and looked flustered, but after seeing Zhong Li, he looked suspicious.

"Zhongli, didn't you boast that you never use sect secret techniques? What, are you here to take my cultivation?"

Yun Chen had been locked in solitary confinement for several days, and the fear and anxiety he had endured over those days had left him somewhat stressed.

Hearing Yun Chen's words, Zhong Li remained silent. Although his relationship with Yun Chen was merely a nodding acquaintance, they were both true disciples. He was the second elder's true disciple, while Yun Chen was the third elder's true disciple.

At this moment, Yun Chen was like a prisoner, locked in a cage, waiting to be chosen by others.

Yun Chen's cultivation level was not low either, after all, he was in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. Therefore, in the past few days, the disciples who came to use the secret technique did not choose Yun Chen as their target.

This secret technique involves pulling the opponent into a blood-red space. Only by defeating the opponent within this space can one absorb half of their cultivation.

The initiator of the Crimson Space will receive a buff within the space, while the attacked will have their strength suppressed by 30%.

Even so, no one chose Yun Chen. People with such cultivation levels were meant to be used as resources, reserved for the senior brothers and sisters at higher levels.

Zhongli was clearly one of them. Yun Chen had been wondering for the past few days who would absorb his cultivation.

He had made assumptions about almost every true disciple, but Zhongli was the only one who was not in his expectations, because Zhongli had never relied on the sect's secret techniques to improve his cultivation over the years.

Even the disciples of the entire sect secretly referred to Zhongli as Qingxiu.

Without hesitation, Zhong Li opened the crimson space, and Yun Chen was naturally drawn in as well, forcibly pulled into Zhong Li's crimson space.

"Zhongli, you've finally fallen, haven't you?"

"I'll give you a quick death."

"No one can live forever in this sect!"

Yun Chen had become extremely ruthless at this moment, after all, the man in front of him was going to strip away his cultivation over the years.

Although most of Yun Chen's cultivation was plundered from many other resources over the years, he was still very reluctant to let it go.

With the enhancement and suppression of the crimson space, and given that Zhongli's cultivation was already stronger than Yun Chen's, Zhongli killed Yun Chen in just a few moves. Yun Chen turned into a cloud of blood mist, and then fell from the crimson space back into reality.

Zhong Li, who remained in the crimson space, watched the blood mist constantly transform and knew that this was Yun Chen's other half of his cultivation.

After absorbing this burst of cultivation energy, Zhong Li fell from the crimson space back into reality.

"not enough."

Zhongli then activated the Crimson Space again, which greatly angered Yun Chen.

"Yun Chen, are you crazy? Every true disciple has a limited number of times they can enter the confinement room each month!"

"You have violated the rules by absorbing my cultivation so many times."

Although he knew he would die in a few days, Yun Chen certainly didn't want to die now. His goal was to live one day at a time.

At this time, Zhongli turned a deaf ear until the battle ended, Zhongli absorbed all his cultivation, and then the two were back in reality.

At this moment, Yun Chen was already hunched over, and after having his cultivation absorbed twice, he was extremely weak.

"I haven't been to solitary confinement for so many years, so my records have all accumulated, and I don't have to worry about breaking the rules."

As soon as Zhong Li finished speaking, Yun Chen's eyes widened, and then his vision turned blood red.

......

Zhong Li left the confinement room. At this time, he had reached the late stage of the Refining Void Realm. Yun Chen, who was in the cage, was lying on the ground on the verge of death. His cultivation had fallen to the Qi Refining Realm.

If he continues to absorb the nutrients, Yun Chen will die, and Zhong Li doesn't want Yun Chen to die by his own hand.

I'm sorry, Brother Yun, I was just trying to save my own life.

At this moment, Yun Chen in the cage seemed to have resigned himself to his fate. He anticipated that if someone absorbed his cultivation again, he would die. This true disciple of the Third Elder had thus fallen below the Qingyun Sect's kill line.

After reaching the late stage of the Void Refinement Realm, Zhongli could no longer improve his cultivation through sect secret techniques. This was because to break through from the Void Refinement Realm to the Body Integration Realm, one had to master the Lesser Dao, which was a rule of the Heavenly Dao. Apart from demons, no cultivator could disobey this rule.

Zhongli's true intention is to guard the true intention. If he wants to advance to the next level, Zhongli's current plan is to delay the minor path. This path is not yet in charge of anyone, and Zhongli does not want to have a life-or-death struggle for the path with others.

However, Zhongli cannot directly control the minor path at this time because his understanding is not yet sufficient. In fact, Zhongli rarely uses the True Meaning of Laziness in battle.

Zhongli's True Meaning skill is not powerful; its greatest function is to release a defensive force when he swings his spear, slowing down the opponent's movement.

However, Zhong Li rarely fights seriously. In ordinary battles, Zhong Li can handle them with his marksmanship.

Zhong Li returned to his residence. Now that Song Xun had returned to the Beast Taming Sect, he certainly couldn't go up to the Beast Taming Sect to assassinate Song Xun. He could only wait for Song Xun to leave the Beast Taming Sect again.

Zhongli dispatched several disciples to the outside of the Beast Taming Sect to await news. He then asked other disciples to inquire about Yun Chen.

After all, Yun Chen was a disciple of considerable rank among the true disciples of the Qingyun Sect, yet he had been sent to the confinement room. Therefore, Zhong Li wanted to find out in advance to avoid being sent to the confinement room herself if she angered Tie Bei one day.

Soon, Zhong Li found out that Yun Chen had also been sent to solitary confinement because of two consecutive mission failures.

Yun Chen had previously led a team to the Cangwu Forest to collect spiritual herbs, and even though he hadn't done a very good job, Song Xun's troubles all started from there.

Subsequently, Li Tongya assigned Yun Chen another mission, which Yun Chen failed to complete. Enraged, Li Tongya sent Yun Chen to solitary confinement.

Sure enough, there was no humanity left within the Qingyun Sect.

Zhong Li knew that Yun Chen had followed Li Tongya for many years and was one of the most senior disciples of Li Tongya. Yet, he was also directly put into the killing line.

This made Zhong Li even more nervous. If he couldn't kill Song Xun the next time he encountered him, he would probably end up like Yun Chen.

Yun Chen's first words pierced Zhong Li's heart; he had to find a way to leave this sect...

Meanwhile, Tie Bei also received the news that Zhong Li had used a sect secret technique.

"Finally, we went."

There is a limitation when using sect secret techniques: the more people you plunder, the more cultivation you can plunder will be depleted.

At the same time, when plundering someone's abilities, if the plundered cultivation level accounts for the majority of their cultivation level, the plunder will be smoother. Also, both parties must have used sect secret techniques, so that the losses will be reduced. Of course, there will still be losses.

However, the last way to reduce losses is for these two people to practice the same technique.

Within the Qingyun Sect, disciples can choose from more than one core cultivation technique. Most disciples who follow Tie Bei practice the "Qingyun Misty Technique," and Zhong Li is no exception...

Returning to the sect after several days' absence, Jiang Wanfeng was actually in a good mood. Of course, the only slight sadness was because she had left Song Xun.

"Father, do you miss me?"

"You little rascal."

Jiang Lie was naturally overjoyed to see his daughter. He quickly put the letter in his hand on the table and got up to walk towards Jiang Wanfeng.

"Your cultivation has improved quite well. It seems you haven't forgotten to cultivate during your time at the Demon Suppression Pass."

Jiang Lie sensed Jiang Wanfeng's cultivation level and then affirmed it. In fact, Jiang Wanfeng's cultivation level was already considered that of a top genius, but Jiang Lie would not let Jiang Wanfeng become too arrogant.

However, he was secretly overjoyed, after all, his daughter was so talented, and Jiang Lie was very proud of her.

Afterwards, Jiang Wanfeng recounted her experiences during her time away from home to Jiang Lie.

"What level has Song Xun reached now?"

"He's already at the mid-stage of the Void Refinement Realm."

Jiang Wanfeng proudly said to Jiang Lie, and Jiang Lie could tell from Jiang Wanfeng's expression that his daughter had already fallen for her.

"Mid-stage Void Refinement Realm?"

"right!"

Song Xun's cultivation level truly shocked Jiang Lie. It wasn't hard for Jiang Lie to accept that his daughter's cultivation level had improved so quickly. Jiang Wanfeng had been practicing swordsmanship every day for years, and Jiang Lie had seen her efforts.

His current level of skill has increased rapidly, thanks to a sudden enlightenment in swordsmanship and the culmination of years of accumulated experience.

However, Jiang Lie was quite surprised that Song Xun broke through his cultivation level much faster than Jiang Wanfeng.

Although he had expected that Song Xun's cultivation level would definitely not be low, he was only at the mid-stage of the Void Refining Realm, and after ten months of cultivation, he had contracted a pale yellow dog.

It's somewhat unbelievable that all these things are combined in Song Xun alone.

It seems that Song Xun is indeed a beast-taming genius that comes along only once in a thousand years.

At this moment, Jiang Lie inevitably has a greater appreciation for Song Xun. This speed of improvement is, as Lin Canghai and Tang He said.

Now that their daughter and Song Xun have become Daoist partners, it seems that the Ten Thousand Swords Sect and the Beast Taming Sect will truly have to rise even higher in the future.

The Three Upper Sects and the Seven Great Sects: There are a total of ten top sects in the world within the pass. Although the Ten Thousand Swords Sect is among the Seven Great Sects, it is actually the bottom-ranked sect among the Seven Great Sects.

The most direct way to evaluate a sect is to look at its high-end combat strength. The Beast Taming Sect has fallen from a first-class sect to a second-class sect because it no longer has an immortal in charge.

In reality, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect only has one immortal in charge. Compared to other first-class sects, which often have several immortals, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect is actually quite weak.

Above the seven major sects are the three upper sects, each with a cultivator at the Immortal Lord level in charge. The Immortal Lord is already the pinnacle of this world.

Based on the lineage of the Great Dao, there are currently only thirty Great Daos existing in the entire world, which means that there are only thirty Immortal Lords in this world.
