Senior brother, how can you fall for such a beautiful junior brother!

Then, twelve giant sword shadows that were three meters tall appeared on the distorted edge, and a faint blue light connected two adjacent giant sword shadows.

This is the Qinghong Sword Sect's sword formation. They once used twelve top-notch swordsmen to surround and kill an extraordinary person.

Although that extraordinary person was not very powerful among the extraordinary people, he could still be ranked in the middle.

Now that the Qinghong Sword Sect has used this sword formation to deal with the man in black robe, it can be seen how much they value the opponent.

But Lian Li still didn't dare to relax, because in addition to the black-robed man who had ill intentions towards Zhao Rong and was a supernatural being, there was another puppet black-robed man under his control next to him.

Although no one knew what the difference was between him and a zombie, judging from the fact that his first move made it difficult for Zhao Rong to deal with him, he was obviously a difficult person.

But it seems that he is completely controlled by the man in black robe. I don't know how much strength he can exert. The man in black robe has to be distracted to control him, so how much strength can he exert?

Seeing Zhao Rong and the eleven elders of the Qinghong Sword Sect forming a formation, the man in black robe was not as calm and composed as before.

Lian Li couldn't see his expression, but from his body language, he could tell that he didn't expect such a situation to happen and felt the current situation was difficult.

Logically speaking, since he was an extraordinary person and had helpers with him, he shouldn't have any trouble with the Qinghong Sword Sect's sword formation.

But he just did this, coupled with the giant golden centipede he released before and his very subtle jealousy towards Zhao Rong.

Lian Li became more certain of his guess that the man in black robe was most likely the previous leader of the Lingjiao, the one who was said to have been dead for a long time.

Since the founding of the Lingjiao sect, there has never been any extraordinary masters.

Originally, he thought that it was because the Spiritual Sect was unlucky and no one had ever broken through to the extraordinary level.

Even the four island masters thought so, until their master came back this time and heard them talking about the Ling Sect, and told them the reason why the Ling Sect had never had any extraordinary people.

One reason is that they rely on witchcraft, and another is that the martial arts they learned have certain flaws.

This was what Master Xidao told him after he returned from the Lingjiao. Master Xidao also told him that the previous Master of the Lingjiao was very jealous of Zhao Rong.

The martial arts of the Lingjiao are derived mainly from the art of witchcraft, and were originally intended to help them better control the poisonous insects.

Later, a genius came to the Central Plains, saw the martial arts of the Central Plains and the major sects, returned to the south and spent twenty years creating the current martial arts of the Lingjiao based on the original crude martial arts.

When she was traveling among the various sects, she discovered that the martial arts of each sect had its own characteristics.

Therefore, when she created her own martial arts, in order to make it unique to her school, she also incorporated witchcraft into it, and then she founded the Lingjiao.

However, when she traveled in the Central Plains, she only made friends with many chivalrous men of her age.

Although she knew there was such a level as the extraordinary, they were not easy to come by. Therefore, before she returned to the Spiritual Sect, she had never seen any extraordinary person.

She saw a lot in the Central Plains, but when she created her own martial arts, she was still restricted by the thinking that was mainly based on witchcraft, and martial arts were only used to assist witchcraft.

Therefore, the spiritual sect she created had a fatal flaw. Martial arts and witchcraft could not complement each other, and therefore could not achieve extraordinary results.

She was stuck at the doorstep of transcendence for decades before she finally realized it.

But she no longer had time to perfect this martial art, so she could only use the remaining time to find a shortcut.

With the help of the special environment and poisonous insects of the Spiritual Religion, he can barely be considered a transcendent.

Once you reach top-notch level, you can learn this method.

However, the process of learning this method is also very dangerous, and if you are not careful you may be attacked by the poisonous insect.

Therefore, she set up assessments, and only those who passed the assessments could learn.

Compared with the many people who practice martial arts, those who can reach the top level are one in ten thousand or even one hundred thousand.

But compared with the extraordinary ones, there are quite a lot of top-notch people.

Therefore, as long as there are enough top-notch people in the Spiritual Sect and enough people who can pass the assessment, there will be many people in the Spiritual Sect who can barely be considered extraordinary.

Soon after leaving behind this method, the founder of the Lingjiao sect called the candidate he favored to be the next sect leader.

She told him about her regrets and urged him to perfect the spiritual religion's philosophy if possible.

However, although the next leader she chose was also a very talented person, he was still far inferior to her amazing talent.

Throughout their lives, their successors were unable to perfect the method.

So this last wish could only be passed down from one generation to the next.

Until one year, a core disciple of the Ling Sect made an enemy outside, which eventually led to a war between the Ling Sect and the other sect.

In the end, both the Ling Sect and the other party were severely damaged, and the former leader hastily passed on the position of leader and then died of his injuries.

The successor was a very steady person. Although the Spiritual Cult did not develop during his years, it gradually made up for the losses caused by the war.

But the leader who came after him was a very radical person. He believed that if there were more people who had learned the secret technique in that great battle, they would never have ended up in a situation where both sides suffered heavy losses.

Therefore, he abolished the assessment and anyone who reached the top level could learn the secret technique.

It might be because the previous one was too cautious, so cautious that people felt suffocated. After being released, all the top-notch people in the Spiritual Sect would learn the secret method regardless of the danger.

In the end, in addition to the leader of the Spiritual Cult at that time, three other people successfully learned the secret technique, and the top combat power of the Spiritual Cult also reached its peak at that time.

Afterwards, they wanted to fight with that sect again, but the leader of that sect had been prepared and formed an alliance with several other sects.

Let the Lingjiao do nothing to them.

During that period, the spiritual religion was quite prosperous.

On the surface, the decision made by the leader of the Spiritual Sect was successful. They had eight extraordinary people within the Spiritual Sect, and no one dared to mess with them.

But the result was a generational gap among the top talents within the Spiritual Sect.

Except for these four, all other top-notch people in the Spiritual Sect died from the backlash while learning that secret technique.

Later, the Ling Sect was slow to perfect their mental skills, and because there were four people who learned the secret skills, the Ling Sect prospered for a long time.

Gradually, the successors almost all listened to the last wishes, but did not take them to heart.

Therefore, the defects of spiritual teachings have always existed.

However, the Spiritual Cult has never perfected its mental skills, which does not mean that those who have already transcended the ordinary can use other improper and evil means to forcibly bring others up.

It is like forcibly improving a person's martial arts to the first-class or super first-class level, but there will no longer be any room for improvement, and there will also be other side effects.

For example, overdrawing life or something like that.

This was a very common trope in novels, and he wasn't sure if anyone else would have thought of it without any prompting.

But he thought that since it was a common routine in novels, he could apply it here.
