Having been given a second chance at life, I choose to join the Demonic Sect!

Chapter 140 Battle Against the Projection Master!
Although most of the techniques for cultivating swords are evil arts, Cao Meng felt that they came at the perfect time.

The path of cultivation is destined to involve countless battles, and some people are meant to be sacrificed to the sword, such as the people of the Xuantian Sect.

Moreover, as a disciple of the Hehuan Sect, isn't it perfectly natural for him to use evil magic to nurture his sword?

Just after Cao Meng entered the 901st floor, a voice came from the Sword-Seeking Path Ladder:

"Congratulations to Cao Meng of the Hehuan Sect, the trial participant, for entering the 901st floor."

Next, the most accomplished sword masters of the Longevity Sword Sect will engage in a sword duel with you at the same level!

"Yan Qing, the 23rd generation Holy Son of the Longevity Sword Sect, has comprehended the Sword Dao of Wind!"

After Yan Qing's projection appeared, he clasped his hands in a salute and immediately drew his sword.

The spirit sword is drawn, and a hurricane arises!
"If we fight at the same level, I'm not afraid of you!"

Cao Meng felt that a battle between people of the same realm should have been fought long ago, and that the person who designed the "Asking the Sword and Seeking the Dao Ladder" was an idiot.

They actually scheduled a battle between people of the same realm after the 900th floor.

The designer of the "Seeking the Dao with Swords" staircase: I never expected that the cultivation level of later generations would be so low.
In our time, wasn't the fifth level of the Nascent Soul realm something that anyone could cultivate to achieve with just a little effort?

If you can't even reach the nine hundredth floor, how can you inherit the opportunities of my Longevity Sword Sect?
Cao Meng pushed his minor-developed innate Geng Metal body to its limit, resisting the erosion of the wind blades, and fought against Yan Qing.

After several rounds, Cao Meng seized an opportunity and killed his opponent.

Even if the battle after the 901st floor is a battle between people of the same realm, Shishi and Chi Liyu still have a huge advantage.

Because being at the same level does not necessarily mean having the same level of physical strength.

Cao Meng won because of his innate Geng metal body, while Shi Shi and Chi Liyu won because of their physical strength.

Their physical abilities far surpass those of other cultivators at the same level; winning would be a piece of cake for them.

After Cao Meng reached the 950th floor, he fell silent upon seeing the gradually solidifying figure.

Cao Meng was all too familiar with that figure; it was none other than Shi Shi's projection!

"Wen Bing, the nineteenth generation Holy Maiden of the Longevity Sword Sect, has comprehended the Sword Dao of Ice, the Sword Dao of Wind, the Sword Dao of Mist, the Sword Dao of Snow, and the Sword Dao of Frost!"

Shi Shi's true identity is Wen Bing, the nineteenth holy maiden of the Longevity Sword Sect!
Cao Meng looked at Shi Shi, who was with him on the next level, and felt that Shi Shi's seniority was a bit too high!
The estimated value is that the combined seniority of everyone in the Demon Sword Sect and the Sword Inquiry Sect is still less than that of Shishi!

However, Shishi's seniority is secondary; the main point is that Shishi's previous life was somewhat extraordinary!

The previous dozens of projections all depicted someone who had comprehended the laws of swordsmanship.

And Shishi's predecessor actually comprehended five sword dao laws. Could she be any more monstrous?
"fog!"

After Wen Bing uttered the word 'mist,' mist immediately filled the arena.

The fog affected Cao Meng's vision, reducing it to a range of only about ten feet.

Cao Meng released his divine sense to investigate, but the moment his divine sense came into contact with the mist, it felt as if he were being pricked by needles and cut by knives.

Is this fog? This is clearly sword energy!

Wen Bing's technique of turning sword energy into mist is undeniably impressive.

The moment Cao Meng withdrew his divine sense, the mist formed from sword energy rushed towards him.

"Wind and Snow Divine Slash!"

Cao Meng unleashed a powerful slash, tearing through the mist barrier, and charged towards Wen Bing with his sword.

If he can't beat Shishi, how could he not beat Wen Bing, who is at the same level as him?
"ice!"

Wen Bing raised her spirit sword high, and ice spikes immediately rose from the ground.

Faced with the ice spikes that rose from the ground, Cao Meng's offensive was forcibly forced back.

"Trial participant, you're nothing special!"

After forcing Cao Meng to retreat, Wen Bing said something.

The look in her eyes wasn't mockery, but contempt and disdain!
"Shishi, I finally know why you died! It was most likely because of your arrogance!"

Cao Meng found it unbelievable that the now cute and fierce Shishi had once been an arrogant iceberg!

With Wen Bing's arrogant and aloof personality, she's bound to offend countless people; it wouldn't be surprising if she died!

"Three thousand stars have fallen!"

He might not be able to bring himself to harm Shi Shi or Cao Meng, but he could easily do the same to Wen Bing. Not to mention that Wen Bing in front of him was just a projection; what could a projection possibly do...?

Faced with the attack of the Three Thousand Starfalls, Wen Bing drew her sword and unleashed a burst of stars in response to the same move.

Using the same moves and at the same level, Cao Meng, despite having the innate Geng metal energy, was still matched with Wen Bing, who had the sword dao law. The two fought to a draw.

"ice!"

"frost!"

"Frost Fury!"

Cao Meng's strength made Wen Bing decide to get serious. She swung her sword, and the sword light, carrying the power of frost, devoured Cao Meng.

"One sword separates the worlds!"

"Break it for me!"

Cao Meng roared and unleashed a sword strike that separated worlds, sweeping the frost power with world-destroying sword energy.

After fighting Wen Bing for several rounds, Cao Meng discovered that frost had appeared on his body, and his meridians were gradually being imprisoned by the frost.

"Shishi, have you ever seen the sun?"

"Ten-Day Sacred Body!"

As soon as Cao Meng finished speaking, he revealed his Ten-Day Sacred Body.

Two magnificent sun-like phenomena appeared behind him, their dazzling light and solar power dispelling all the frost on his body.

This was the first time Cao Meng had revealed his sacred body for ten days to the world.

There was no other way; Wen Bing had comprehended five sword dao laws. Cao Meng felt that he couldn't defeat her with just his innate Gengjin body, so he had to use the Ten-Sun Sacred Body.

"really!"

Chi Liyu had long seen that if Cao Meng continued to hold back and did not use the Ten-Day Sacred Body, he would not be able to defeat Wen Bing.

After all, Wen Bing had comprehended five sword principles, and these five sword principles were interdependent.

The gap between Cao Meng and his opponent was not something that could be bridged by a minor mastery of the innate Geng metal body.

"Isn't Cao Meng born with the Geng Metal constitution? What kind of constitution is this?"

"It seems to be the Great Sun Holy Body!"

"Isn't there only one Great Sun Sacred Body? How come he has two?"

"You ask me, who should I ask?"

"However, the only thing that can be confirmed is that this physique is definitely a furnace physique!"

The lower-level trial participants, seeing Cao Meng reveal his Ten-Day Sacred Body, began to discuss among themselves.

The mere mention of the Furnace Body evoked greedy glints in the eyes of many female cultivators.

……

Meanwhile, Cao Meng, relying on the power of the Ten-Sun Sacred Body, suppressed Wen Bing's four sword dao laws: ice, frost, mist, and snow.

Now, Wen Bing's swordsmanship law only has one element left that is 'wind', which has not been suppressed.

"I've played with you for so long, now it's time to send you on your way!"

"One sword separates the worlds!"

Cao Meng unleashed his innate Geng metal energy and the power of the sun, and Wen Bing was swallowed by the merciless flames, his phantom dissipating.

After defeating Cao Meng and Wen Bing, I obtained a mid-grade Heaven-rank cultivation technique called "Sword Demon's Fury".

The rewards from the first level up to now are mostly cultivation techniques, which makes Cao Meng suspect that the ancestors of the Longevity Sword Sect are trying to save money.

Creator of the Sword-Seeking-the-Way Ladder: Congratulations on answering the correct question; it's all about saving money.

After all, the cultivation technique only needs to be engraved, so the cost price is very cheap.

Unlike elixirs and magical artifacts, which are extremely expensive to make!
Giving out inferior prizes like pills and magical artifacts would make our Longevity Sword Sect seem stingy, but giving out good ones would be too expensive.

However, the cultivation method perfectly solves everything; one cultivation method can be engraved many times!
Moreover, the cost of engraving is low, and it looks impressive as a prize!
