27: The Walking Ginseng Fruit Saint Queen Enters the Game

"Oh?"

Holy Empress Xuanyuan was slightly startled, clearly surprised by his boldness and directness.

She was extremely confident in her beauty, charm, and divine aura, but she would never believe such nonsense.

Immediately, a playful smile appeared on her exquisite face.

"Isn't it because Wu Feiyan wants to harm you? Looking for a backer?"

Cao Meng shook his head, meeting the Holy Empress's gaze: "Your Majesty is right, Wu Feiyan does indeed want to harm me..."

Before he could finish, Xuanyuan Baizhi flashed in front of Cao Meng, gripping his neck, her beautiful, watery eyes gleaming with cold light as she glared at him.

"Boy, you dare to play tricks on this Empress!"

Cao Meng looked puzzled: "Why does Your Majesty say that?"

Xuanyuan Baizhi sneered:

"In yesterday's arena battle, the strength and demeanor you displayed were in no way inferior to your Junior Sister Nether Pupil. If Wu Feiyan wanted to harm you, would she let you become a Dragon? Would she discard such an excellent Disciple?"

"Boy, you'd better give this Empress a reasonable explanation today, otherwise, this Empress will destroy you right now!"

Cao Meng: "Cough cough... Xu Tian, is Wu Feiyan's son."

"What?"

Xuanyuan Baizhi was stunned, her beautiful, gem-like eyes widened, looking at Cao Meng with disbelief.

"What did you say? Say it again."

"That, Xu Tian, is Wu Feiyan's son."

Xu Tian, destiny value -300

destiny value +300

Three hundred destiny value, credited.

At the same time, inside Xuanyuan Palace, Xu Tian, who was Cultivating, felt a tremor in his mind, and instantly, his Cultivation Technique went awry~

"Pfft~"

He spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

"What's going on? Why did I suddenly feel a palpitation and loss?" Xu Tian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looking around like a startled bird... "How is this possible? How could Xu Tian be her son?" Xuanyuan Baizhi looked at Cao Meng with suspicion.

This news was simply too unbelievable.

The Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty gave birth to a son for a King of a different surname from Great Liang?

"Your Majesty doesn't believe it?" Cao Meng chuckled, taking out two letters from his Huai and handing them over.

These two letters were the correspondence between Wu Feiyan and Prince of Yanbei Xu Longwu.

Xuanyuan Baizhi took them and just one glance made her tremble with anger:

"Xu Longwu, Wu Feiyan, you two, have gone too far!"

"Ah~"

What a great humiliation.

A Holy Empress, ruling a country, was humiliated and fooled to this extent. Especially that Prince of Yanbei Xu Longwu, Xuanyuan Baizhi had always regarded him as a pillar of the court, and over the years, she had put in a lot of effort, both openly and secretly, to preserve his position as a King of a different surname.

As a result, this beast actually... "Heh heh, Xu Longwu, you dare to scheme against this Empress, this Empress will make you childless!"

...After a brief moment of anger, Xuanyuan Baizhi regained her composure.

Her gaze towards Cao Meng also softened considerably.

"It seems your seven absolutes flying swords were cultivated for that Xu Tian, right? It's just that yesterday you injured Xu Tian and were unwilling to actively transfer the seven absolutes flying swords to Xu Tian. With Wu Feiyan's personality, I'm afraid she won't let you off easily." Xuanyuan Baizhi nodded slightly: "You are now a Golden Core Disciple of the academy, protected by the academy, so she won't easily attack you within the academy, but once you leave the academy, it's hard to say."

Cao Meng spoke casually: "Yesterday, after I injured Xu Tian and displayed my strength, Wu Feiyan didn't blame me. Instead, she took me as her personal Disciple and rewarded me twice. However, I always felt that the way she looked at me was a bit different."

"That's right." Xuanyuan Baizhi said with a hint of sarcasm: "I know Wu Feiyan's methods all too well. If you truly believe her, you won't even know how you died..."

At this point, Holy Empress Xuanyuan seemed to remember something unpleasant, and her expression grew even gloomier.

"However, now that you are under my tutelage, I naturally won't stand by and do nothing."

Cao Meng was overjoyed and immediately performed the formal apprenticeship ceremony.

"Disciple greets Master~"

"Not bad." A proud smile appeared on Xuanyuan Baizhi's face as she personally helped Cao Meng up~

"Ah~" Cao Meng only felt a bone-chilling cold Qi invading his body through Holy Empress Xuanyuan's hands.

"So cold~"

"Master, has the Profound Yin Ice Soul Poison in your body not been completely removed yet?" Cao Meng grabbed Xuanyuan Baizhi's fair and cold small hand, and at the same time, his Cultivation Technique circulated, and the True Yuan of Chaos Profound Yang Supreme, mixed with a bit of True Fire of the Sun, seeped into Xuanyuan Baizhi's body.

The moment the True Yuan seeped into her body, Xuanyuan Baizhi was stunned.

Her cold body instantly felt a trace of warmth, comfortable and pleasant.

The Profound Yin Ice Soul in her body even showed signs of melting.

"You, this is the True Fire of the Sun..." After a brief moment of shock, Holy Empress Xuanyuan was overjoyed, and her gaze towards Cao Meng was filled with greed, just like Zhu Bajie seeing a ginseng fruit.

Cao Meng smiled faintly, slowly withdrawing his hands, "If Master needs it, Disciple can serve Master at any time."

The first step was to sacrifice the Dog Young Master Xu Tian, and the second step was to offer his mutated Chaos Profound Yang Supreme Art.

These two actions completely changed his position in Xuanyuan Baizhi's heart.

"Good, good!" Holy Empress Xuanyuan reluctantly withdrew her hand.

The brief infusion of True Yuan temporarily dispelled the coldness in her body, and her originally snow-white face developed a slight blush, which was exceptionally beautiful.

"I never thought that I, Xuanyuan Baizhi, would have such good fortune. Speaking of which, I still have to thank that Wu Feiyan. If she hadn't been so blind, how could I have obtained such a treasure?" Xuanyuan Baizhi was overjoyed, and after steadying her mind, she said:

"From now on, you are my Disciple."

"Thank you, Master." Cao Meng was overjoyed.

Xuanyuan Baizhi nodded slightly, and the more she looked at Cao Meng, the more she liked him.

With a flip of her slender hand, a purple iron token appeared in her palm, and she said solemnly: "In yesterday's arena battle, although your Sword Dao was not bad, and your seven absolutes flying swords were refined to perfection, they still lacked some refinement. Especially the seven absolutes flying swords, though they have Sword Spirits, they lack Sword Intent..."

"No Sword Intent?" Cao Meng was stunned.

"That's right." Xuanyuan Baizhi nodded, "To nurture a Flying Sword, first temper its spirit, then nourish its essence, and then Cultivate it with Sword Dao... This Legacy page records the unique sword-nurturing technique of my Xuanyuan Family, and it's perfect for your seven absolutes flying swords~"

After speaking, she handed the Legacy page to Cao Meng.

"Thank you, Revered Master."

"Mm." Xuanyuan Baizhi nodded and then said: "You walk the path of Sword Dao, and I also have some accomplishments in Sword Dao. Today, I will impart a sword technique to you..."

As Xuanyuan Baizhi spoke, the smile on her face grew wider and more enchanting, and her beautiful, watery eyes sparkled with spiritual light... "Watch closely~"

The next moment, the longsword was unsheathed, and a white-robed afterimage appeared in place, the sword's edge ethereal, followed by two afterimages... One afterimage after another appeared before him, one sword after another. Each sword was more profound than the last... In half a cup of tea's time, thirty-six phantom afterimages had appeared before Cao Meng.

Cao Meng just stared blankly, his entire being falling into a profound and mysterious state.

It was as if the person wielding the sword was himself.

Countless Sword Dao Profound Truths were swallowed whole into his mind, deeply etched into his Soul.

Finally, a sword was swung!

A flash of light streaked across... like a beam of light, completely tearing through the eternal night, igniting the spark of Sword Dao civilization.
