Land Sword Immortal: Eighty Years as the Guardian of the Sword Pavilion

Chapter 193 – The essence of the sword with nearly ten thousand long swords

"Suggestions?"

Lin Jian showed a trace of surprise on his face. At this moment, was there still a need for suggestions?

"What suggestions?" he asked instinctively.

Meng Fan looked at Lin Jian seriously and said, "Senior Brother Lin, you and Lu Xiaoyun have both been expelled from Shu Mountain. You're no longer master and disciple, so stop calling her 'Master'!"

After saying that, he subtly winked at Lin Jian.

Lin Jian, being a genius, was not only talented in cultivation but also quick-witted.

He instantly understood.

Got it!

"Yun'er, even though my cultivation has been destroyed, I will take care of you for the rest of my life and never let you be bullied."

Meng Fan quietly gave Lin Jian a thumbs up. Changing from calling her 'Master' to 'Yun'er' was the proper beginning.

Calling her 'Master' all the time, how could you win the heart of the girl with such a thin skin?

Meng Fan took out a jade bottle containing two Yuanling Small Rejuvenation Pills and handed it to Lin Jian.

"Here are two healing elixirs. Although they can't restore your cultivation, they can at least ensure your physical well-being."

"Thank you!" Lin Jian accepted the pills without hesitation, expressing his gratitude while taking them.

These pills were timely for them, especially since Lu Xiaoyun had been imprisoned at the bottom of Ice Moon Lake for so long, her body was already very weak.

Yesterday, her cultivation was destroyed, and now her body was on the verge of collapse.

Meng Fan's medicine was like rain in a drought!

Lin Jian took the pills and fed one to Lu Xiaoyun first, then took one himself.

The Yuanling Small Rejuvenation Pills, worthy of being called miraculous elixirs by Ye Qingyu, brought a slight flush to both Lin Jian and Lu Xiaoyun's faces within seconds of consumption.

"Now that you're leaving Shu Mountain, what are your plans?" Meng Fan asked casually.

He asked casually, but Lin Jian's face showed a trace of hesitation and difficulty. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Meng, it's only because you asked that I'm willing to tell you!"

Meng Fan laughed, "What, where do you want to go that's such a secret?"

Lin Jian looked seriously at Meng Fan and said, "It is indeed a secret. I'm planning to go to the Heavenly Demon Sect."

Heavenly Demon Sect?

Meng Fan's expression changed, feeling a bit surprised.

The Heavenly Demon Sect, like the Ghost King Sect, was a peak-level demonic sect, extremely terrifying.

"Are you planning to join the demonic sect to take revenge on the Shu Mountain Sword Sect because your cultivation was destroyed?" Meng Fan asked helplessly.

Suffering such a great injustice, wanting revenge was understandable.

But Lin Jian shook his head and said, "Brother Meng, you're underestimating me. All my cultivation was given by the Shu Mountain Sword Sect. If they want to take it back, they can. I have no complaints and won't seek revenge for this."

"Then why would you think of joining the Heavenly Demon Sect?" Meng Fan asked, puzzled.

Under normal circumstances, a disciple of the righteous path would never want to fall into the demonic path.

Lin Jian said, "My cultivation was destroyed, and my foundation suffered irreparable damage. It's impossible to start over.

But I can't live as a cripple for the rest of my life!

I know the Heavenly Demon Sect has a technique called 'Heavenly Demon Art,' which includes a method called 'Heavenly Demon Disintegration.'

Heavenly Demon Disintegration, breaking and then rebuilding, reshaping the true body.

I want to join the Heavenly Demon Sect for this technique!"

Heavenly Demon Art?

Meng Fan was unfamiliar with it and had never heard of it.

"But with your current state of destroyed cultivation, going to the Heavenly Demon Sect might not be a wise choice," Meng Fan reminded.

Lin Jian smiled, "No matter what, I will take this gamble."

Meng Fan didn't persuade further. Everyone has their own path and choices, nothing more to say.

"Alright, I wish you success."

"Thank you!"

As the sun set, the shadows of Lin Jian and Lu Xiaoyun stretched long and far.

Meng Fan watched their backs, shaking his head helplessly.

Perhaps, this was their last time stepping on the land of Shu Mountain.

As for going to the Heavenly Demon Sect to pursue the 'Heavenly Demon Art,' it was as difficult as ascending to the heavens. Meng Fan could only wish Lin Jian luck.

But the chances were slim!

***

After Lin Jian and Lu Xiaoyun left, Meng Fan also turned back to the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.

By the time he returned to the Sword Pavilion, it was already dark.

As usual, he began his cultivation.

Spirit Fusion Pills, Fu Xi's visualization techniques.

Elixirs, Spirit Wind Profound Art, Pure Yang Thunder Cultivation Scripture.

Vajra Pill, Orient Loong God Body.

Essence of the Sword, True Scripture of Scarlet Blood.

***

Time flowed like water, and days without showing off always passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.

Meng Fan finally elevated his Orient Loong God Body to the third level, and with the help of Elixirs and the Thousand Catty Fall formation, his cultivation level successfully reached the fourth level of the Heavenly Origin Realm.

For Meng Fan, there wasn't much difference between the fourth and third levels of the Heavenly Origin Realm.

The increase in combat power was almost negligible!

Because when Meng Fan fought, it was usually a swift and decisive kill.

His Sword Dao foundation was too strong, so there was no concept of prolonged battles.

If one strike couldn't kill, another strike probably wouldn't either.

So increasing a bit of True Qi didn't make much difference!

However, elevating the Orient Loong God Body to the third level did increase Meng Fan's physical strength, which was quite beneficial for his combat power.

"In fact, only cultivating the Divine Soul would significantly boost my combat power, but that's not something that can be achieved overnight," Meng Fan sighed.

Once he cultivated the Divine Soul, he could easily reach the level of Sword Soul in sword techniques.

At that time, even facing cultivators at the higher levels of the Condensing Elixir Realm, he could handle them with ease!

"Cultivating the Divine Soul can't be rushed. At my current pace, if I can cultivate the Divine Soul at the ninth level of the Heavenly Origin Realm, that would be quite good," Meng Fan murmured to himself.

***

The next morning, after washing up, Meng Fan began to polish his sword.

Because last night, while cultivating the True Scripture of Scarlet Blood, he had exhausted the Essence of the Sword within him and needed to absorb more.

Over the past year, Meng Fan had almost finished polishing all the swords on the first floor of the Sword Pavilion.

This meant that the Essence of the Sword on the first floor was also almost completely absorbed by him.

And the result of this year was that he had leaped across the Qi Refining and True Martial realms, directly reaching the Heavenly Origin Realm.

And he was at the fourth level of the Heavenly Origin Realm!

If he hadn't spent the last few months using all the Essence of the Sword on the True Scripture of Scarlet Blood, his realm might have been even more astonishing.

But the effect was also significant. Now, the demonic energy within Meng Fan was quite substantial.

"A few more times, and the Essence of the Sword in the swords on the first floor of the Sword Pavilion will be completely absorbed by me!" Meng Fan frowned.

The sword weapons in the Shu Mountain Sword Pavilion could already be described as vast.

The number of sword weapons on the first floor was the most astonishing, nearly ten thousand swords.

Now, the Essence of the Sword in these nearly ten thousand swords was almost completely absorbed by Meng Fan.

Truly astonishing!

"Unknowingly, I've done something so outrageous," Meng Fan couldn't help but laugh.

After polishing a dozen swords, without encountering any special Sword Wraith Memories, Meng Fan returned to his room and called out Hong Qi.

Since the Hong Qi Sword became Meng Fan's personal Law Sword, both the Hong Qi Sword and Hong Qi had absorbed a lot of the Essence of the Sword from Meng Fan.

Meng Fan wanted to see the results.

"Master, you called for me?" Hong Qi's phantom emerged from the Hong Qi Sword, floating in front of Meng Fan.
