4: Impermanence takes lives; none survive its blade! The Hellfire Division!

After his Cultivation Realm rose to Mortal Transformation Realm second level, Shen Tianxing did not continue to advance his Realm.

This Cultivation Realm was temporarily sufficient for him.

There wasn't much experience left.

He still had two newly acquired Martial Arts Cultivation Techniques that he hadn't looked at; he had never Cultivated Cultivation Techniques before, and now that he had them, he definitely had to study them.

"Hundred Battles Heart Method": Born from the battlefield, its attacks are like raging fire, continuous and unending. Although it is a sixth-grade low-tier Cultivation Technique, it is extremely overbearing, focusing on offense, using battle to nurture battle, and fighting endlessly!

An hour later!

"This Hundred Battles Heart Method is indeed extraordinary. My first time Cultivating it, it greatly expanded the Meridians within my body, and even my Physique was significantly improved."

It was his first time Cultivating, but the progress in this one hour made Shen Tianxing deeply feel the changes within himself.

"Now, my Qi and blood are dozens of times stronger compared to before Cultivation. If I keep Cultivating like this, the so-called 'no more than a hundred beheadings' will no longer be a Restriction for me at all!"

The Executioner profession fears old age, weakness, and declining Qi and blood; his Master was a typical example.

Only Cultivators can withstand the Yin Sha Death Qi from the souls of those executed by their blade.

Currently, he only deals with ordinary people. When he becomes stronger later, facing those Martial Dao Cultivators, or even Great Demons, Evil Devils, and Ghost Path Cultivators, the difference from an ordinary Executioner will become apparent.

"A sixth-grade low-tier Cultivation Technique is already so surprising, so that sixth-grade high-tier Saber Technique shouldn't disappoint, right?"

Compared to the Hundred Battles Heart Method, Shen Tianxing valued the other Saber Technique reward more.

Impermanence Saber Technique!

This Saber Technique was obtained by Chen Dali years ago, occasionally from a Ghost Path Cultivator.

In that battle, to capture this Ghost Path Cultivator, the casualties were heavy.

Now, it benefited Shen Tianxing.

Cultivating the Impermanence Saber Technique requires fusing one's Killing Intent with Saber Intent to form Killing Dao Saber Intent!

"Impermanence demands life, no life under the blade!!!"

This is the essence of the Way of the Blade for the Impermanence Saber Technique!

"Experience can improve all attributes, I wonder if it can improve the progress of Cultivation Techniques..."

Shen Tianxing looked at his attribute panel and found that both Cultivation Techniques had an upgrade prompt next to them.

"Impermanence Saber Technique: Sixth-grade high-tier! Realm: Initial Understanding, can be upgraded (0 / 1000)"

"Hundred Battles Heart Method: Sixth-grade low-tier! Realm: First Level, can be upgraded (0 / 400)"

"Upgrade!"

Shen Tianxing unhesitatingly added one point to both Cultivation Techniques, and they immediately changed.

"Impermanence Saber Technique: Sixth-grade high-tier! Realm: Proficient, can be upgraded (0 / 2000)"

"Hundred Battles Heart Method: Sixth-grade low-tier, Realm: Second Level, can be upgraded (0 / 800)"

The upgrade cost difference for the two Cultivation Techniques directly doubled.

Shen Tianxing clearly felt that his comprehension of the Saber Technique became deeper.

The changes brought by the Hundred Battles Heart Method were even more obvious; the True Qi in his body became much denser, his entire body's Qi and blood surged like rolling magma, immensely powerful, and the flesh, muscles, and bones on his body became tougher and more robust.

These were the most direct changes brought by the experience increase!

Simple! Brutal! Unreasonable!

"I still have 2100 experience points left, so I might as well raise the Saber Technique another level!"

A sixth-grade high-tier Saber Technique is inherently superior to the Hundred Battles Heart Method. Raising it another Realm will elevate his Saber Technique mastery even further.

From now on, as long as he executes more criminals, his Cultivation and other Cultivation Techniques can quickly Breakthrough!

That's what he'll do!

"Impermanence Saber Technique: Sixth-grade high-tier, Realm: Mastered, can be upgraded (0 / 4000)"

As the experience points were added and the upgrade was completed, more insights into the Saber Technique reappeared in Shen Tianxing's mind, and upon reaching Mastered, the originally obscure and difficult-to-understand Saber Intent was finally comprehended.

Only 100 experience points remained, but the increase in his Cultivation and strength was too great, it was worth it!!!

"Awesome!!!!"

Shen Tianxing felt completely comfortable, the satisfaction brought by this increase in strength filled his heart.

He became even more eager for the prisoners to be executed tonight.

Thump thump thump!

"Shen Tianxing, it's time, we should depart!"

At this moment, a knock came from outside the door. By the sound, he knew it was still Third Elder Gao.

It was midnight!

Shen Tianxing quickly got up from the bed, restraining his aura. Being too sharp might not be a good thing.

Grabbing the ghost head saber from the table, Shen Tianxing opened the door.

Creak!

The door opened, and Shen Tianxing smiled, "Uncle Gao, I've troubled you again."

"It's nothing, let's go."

Third Elder Gao turned and left. Compared to the daytime, his attitude had changed significantly, becoming a bit more amiable.

"Okay!"

The two set off directly.

Shen Tianxing had thought the execution grounds would still be at the usual execution site, but he found it was completely different from the daytime.

Third Elder Gao led him out of the Ministry of Justice.

The night was very dark, without a trace of light. A gentle breeze blew, carrying a hint of coolness.

Third Elder Gao led Shen Tianxing to a tall building.

"Purgatory Division!"

Shen Tianxing saw the three large characters on the building and knew what it was.

This was the gathering place for criminals!

The final destination for death row inmates!

Those imprisoned here basically never came out alive. They were either high-ranking imperial officials or extremely vicious Cultivation experts.

Many high-ranking officials of the Great Qi Dynasty, especially military generals, were experts with Martial Dao Cultivation.

Among the literati, there were also many strong individuals.

High-ranking imperial officials and Cultivation experts who committed crimes could not be held in ordinary prisons.

The Purgatory Division had Restrictions specifically for Cultivation experts, Great Demons, Evil Devils, and Ghost Cultivators. Escaping was impossible.

After all, behind the Purgatory Division stood several great mountains!

Demon and Monster Division! Martial Suppression Division! Qimen Division!

The existence of these Three Departments was the most special institution of the Great Qi Dynasty.

Great Demons, Evil Devils, and Ghost Cultivators were specifically handled by the Demon and Monster Division, which was also the most mysterious existence among the Three Departments. Those who could enter the Demon and Monster Division had Martial Dao Cultivation at least reaching the Vajra Realm!

Insufficient Cultivation meant they simply couldn't suppress the Demons, Monsters, and Ghost Cultivators entrenched throughout the Imperial Dynasty!

The Martial Suppression Division primarily targeted Human Race experts and various local forces. All Martial Dao Cultivators in the world were controlled by them to a certain extent.

The Qimen Division was proficient in Esoteric Arts and did not excel in Martial Dao Cultivation, but all Restriction methods targeting Martial Dao, including the research on Demons, Monsters, and Ghost Cultivators, all originated from the Qimen Division!

Under the cooperation of the Three Departments, whether you were a Human Race expert, a Demon, Monster, or Ghostly Entity, once you entered the Purgatory Division, there was basically no possibility of getting out.

As for jailbreak?

That was even more impossible!

Three years ago, the Heaven Refining Sect, one of the ten Demonic Path sects, joined forces with the Huntian Sect to try and rescue the Demonic Path magnate, Corpse Demon Old Ancestor.

Ten Carefree Realm Demon and Monster experts were still all blocked outside the Purgatory Division!

They couldn't even get through the door!

It showed how terrifying the foundation behind the Purgatory Division truly was!

Shen Tianxing already understood. The next person he was to execute was definitely an expert with Cultivation, possibly even a Demon, Monster, or Ghost Cultivator!

"We've arrived!"

"Once inside, don't speak. After the execution, immediately leave with me."

Before entering, Third Elder Gao specifically instructed him a few words, then took out a token and walked towards the Purgatory Division.

A cold chill rushed over, mixed with a Yin Sha Qi. This Purgatory Division was like a giant beast with its mouth wide open, devouring all living beings.

Ordinary people who came here, constantly exposed to this Yin Sha Qi, no matter how strong, would not be able to bear it and would die.

"This Purgatory Division looks quite high-class..."

Shen Tianxing had a plan in mind and followed Third Elder Gao into the Purgatory Division.
