57: Xuanyuan Baiying, whose stacked damage output shattered the ceiling of beauty and charm.

"Out!"

The next moment, a shimmering silver battle robe appeared on Cao Meng's body.

Appraisal: thousand illusions mask [Armor Form] Physical Body Defense +200, Sword Control Technique Power +200%, Conceals Cultivation.

"Change!"

Cao Meng had a thought.

The next moment, he transformed into an ordinary-looking Disciple of the Academy wearing a green robe.

"How miraculous! It can even transform bones and appearance... But it just can't turn me into a woman. It seems there are still limitations... Bah, why would I turn into a woman? I'm not Xu Tian~"

Appraisal: thousand illusions mask [Illusion Form] Changes appearance and physique. Cannot be seen through by those without great Divine Ability or Spirit Eye Cultivation. Sword Control Technique +200%.

With a thought, his appearance reverted.

"This transformation skill is good. With it... Heh heh~" A wicked smile appeared on Cao Meng's face.

4. Putuo Disciples Xu Fenghua found a piece of Innate Five Elements Essence Gold in an ancient underwater mansion in the East Sea, which can be used to forge, strengthen, or repair a Spirit Treasure. [Requires 1000 destiny value]

Available destiny value: 2520

"Young Miss Xu, sorry about this, I originally wanted to let you keep this treasure for a few more days, but who knew your cheap younger brother would be so understanding and send me over a thousand destiny value!"

"Ancient Qilin True Blood, Replace!"

With a thought, one thousand destiny value was sacrificed to the heavens.

At the same time, a glazed treasure vase, about three feet high and containing light golden blood, appeared in Cao Meng's hand.

"Continue, Innate Five Elements Essence Gold, Replace!"

The next moment, a fist-sized stone flashing with five-colored spiritual light descended from the sky. Cao Meng reached out and caught it.

"Holy cow, it's so heavy. It must weigh over a thousand catties."

"Buzz buzz~"

The moment the Innate Five Elements Essence Gold entered his hand, the shen ya sword lying beside him seemed to sense something, vibrating intensely as if eager to be unsheathed.

"Alright, it's yours!"

The divine sword, possessing a spirit, unsheathed with a clang after receiving its Master's permission.

Then the sword edge flashed.

*Sssshhh~*

The sword tip effortlessly pierced straight through the Innate Five Elements Essence Gold.

Following this, the azure divine abyss broken sword was covered with a faint layer of five-colored divine light. The broken, cracked surface, resembling an iron ruler, visibly began to repair itself.

Cao Meng was connected to the divine sword by spirit and could clearly feel the divine sword's Sword Essence continuously growing stronger.

After about half an incense stick's time, the Innate Five Elements Essence Gold was completely refined.

The shen ya sword also restored its azure color, finally looking somewhat like a sword when viewed closely.

"What a huge appetite. How many treasures will it take to repair this thing?"

Appraisal: shen ya sword [Damaged], xuantian spirit treasure. Its Origin was damaged during the Great Pre-Qin Demon Suppression War.

Sword Dao Power +375% [Can be repaired, can be enhanced.]

Attached Effect: Void Cleave: Tears space, grants special penetration against Physical Body type Divine Ability.

"Not bad! This increase is unbelievable!"

Cao Meng was overjoyed. The Sword Dao power had increased by a full one hundred and fifty percent!

Plus, it gained an extra effect, Void Cleave!

Truly worthy of a treasure valued at one thousand destiny value!

"Let's test it~"

He waved the divine abyss in his palm without using a shred of True Qi.

*Hiss~*

A wisp of azure sword light flashed, reaching ten zhang away in an instant.

With this one sword strike, the distance in space seemed to cease existing.

"Holy cow, that's fast!"

Cao Meng himself was startled; the speed at which the Sword Qi pierced the void was simply too fast.

After the shen ya sword returned to its sheath, Cao Meng's attention finally turned to the Qilin True Blood.

Appraisal: True Blood of an Undying Emperor Realm Qilin Divine Beast.

By Fusion and refining, one can condense a Qilin Dharma Idol and increase Physical Body Cultivation.

Refining it in conjunction with the Qilin Soul can grant the great Divine Ability, Qilin Arm.

"Qilin Arm? Qilin Soul? Is this fate!"

Cao Meng was stunned.

Didn't King Gou Yuan Hao have the soul of an ancient Qilin powerful figure possessing him?

"Is this clearly forcing me to go after King Gou?"

At the same time, inside the Academy, King Gou Yuan Hao, who was currently Cultivating, suddenly felt a pang of fear, nearly causing his True Qi to run wild.

"What's going on? Who is thinking about me? Is the trip to the Sword Tomb this time dangerous... Should I just not go?" Yuan Hao opened his eyes, feeling indecisive.

"You brat, I am truly impressed with you!" An ancient voice rang out in his mind.

"I told you, there is a Supreme treasure left by this old man inside that Sword Tomb. If you obtain it, your strength will definitely soar."

Yuan Hao quickly said, "But, Master, the Dao of Gou is longevity."

"Nonsense! The Dao of the strong should be approached with a cautious heart, like treading on thin ice, but one must act with brave diligence!" The Old Qilin said disdainfully.

"With the way you are, fearing even a falling leaf might kill you, you will miss countless Opportunities."

Yuan Hao: "But~"

"There are no buts." The Old Qilin said firmly, "If you don't go, this old man will find another Disciple!"

"Alright, I'll go~"

"That's more like it. You have plenty of life-saving methods, and coupled with this old man's mystical abilities, it's just a small Sword Tomb. How could you possibly die?"

Cao Meng hadn't expected that a casual thought of his had nearly made this King Gou retreat.

If he had known, Cao Meng would definitely have written a huge "Awesome" for him.

Knowing there were great treasures and Opportunities waiting for him, and possessing a stack of life-saving cards, he was still so overly cautious.

He truly brought the essence of the Dao of Gou to the extreme... Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

Over these five days, Cao Meng circulated the Chaos Profound Yang Supreme Art every morning and evening, absorbing the True Fire of the Sun to temper his divine body and "replenish calcium."

In the evenings, the female Emperor Revered Master personally "tutored" his Cultivation.

After the third watch, he routinely went to the shore of Jingpo Lake to help Holy Empress Master dissolve the Ten Thousand Year Ice Soul Cold Poison.

While he was there, he also Cultivated the Nineteen Swords of Time.

His magical power Cultivation finally officially stepped into the Dragon Elephant Realm.

His Body Refining Golden Body also greatly improved, only a tiny bit away from formally entering the realm of the Land Immortal.

Furthermore, Demon Empress Chi Ling's Soul Power Cultivation also rapidly increased along with Cao Meng's Cultivation.

In this way, Cao Meng gained another layer to his method of stacking damage buffs!

Early morning, on the White Deer Hall square.

When Cao Meng arrived, Xuanyuan Baiying and the other elite Disciples preparing to enter the Sword Tomb were already waiting there.

This time, for some reason, Xuanyuan Baiying had reverted to female attire.

A white, flowing wide-sleeved immortal dress enveloped her tall, voluptuous figure. Half her face was covered by a white veil, and as her beautiful eyes glanced around, the world seemed to dim.

The twenty-odd elite Disciples consciously kept a distance from her, chatting in small groups, yet their eyes couldn't help but steal glances at her.

Beautiful!

Striking!

Especially the divine charm she exuded; even a few of the attractive female Disciples among them showed expressions of infatuation.

What a Prodigy!

Cao Meng had seen many beauties. The female Emperor Revered Master, Holy Empress Xuanyuan, and Senior Sister Qingluan were all peerless existences capable of captivating immortals.

Before Cao Meng saw Xuanyuan Baiying in female attire, he never believed there could be anyone in this world more outstanding than them. After all, they were already the ceiling.

Yet, Xuanyuan Baiying was an existence who had broken through the ceiling of beauty, charm, and divine grace!
