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

Chapter 200 – The fifth level of Sword Pavilion!

"Master, since this sword is a Ghost Sword from the Underworld, where did you get it from?"

Meng Fan suddenly thought of this question!

The rarity of this Ghost Sword was comparable to that of an Immortal Sword.

How did Master casually go out and come back with one?

Elder Lin chuckled, "This sword was obtained by the Sect Master. I merely followed his instructions to retrieve it and place it in the Sword Pavilion."

Obtained by the Sect Master?

Meng Fan didn't ask further.

Sect Master Lin Jinghong was already a taboo in his heart, something he preferred not to touch if he could avoid it.

"Master, earlier I saw that the Demon Locking Sword was placed in the Demon Locking Tower. If this Ghost Sword is of Immortal Sword level, why isn't it placed in the Demon Locking Tower but in the Sword Pavilion?"

In Meng Fan's subconscious, the Demon Locking Sword, as an Immortal Sword, was placed in the Demon Locking Tower. Therefore, other swords of the same level should also be placed there.

Did the Sword Pavilion really qualify to store such high-level sword weapons?

Elder Lin rolled his eyes and glared at Meng Fan, "You brat, as a disciple of the Sword Pavilion, you actually look down on it!"

Meng Fan gave an awkward smile, feeling a bit embarrassed.

He hadn't noticed it just now, but he did indeed show a slight disdain for the Sword Pavilion.

After all, the entire Sword Pavilion only had three people: Elder Lin, himself, and an inconsequential Senior Disciple Luo.

As for the newly arrived monk Wu Tian, he didn't count.

Well, he didn't count as a member of the Sword Pavilion!

Elder Lin sighed and smiled bitterly, "This Black Spring Sword is nowhere near comparable to the Demon Locking Sword. The Demon Locking Sword is a treasure of Shu Mountain, like the Demon Locking Tower, both are powerful weapons to suppress demons and ghosts.

The Demon Locking Sword is placed in the Demon Locking Tower because the tower needs it!

As for this Black Spring Sword, although it is a Ghost Sword, it is far inferior to the Demon Locking Sword.

Moreover, it is not like the Blood Soul Sword, which has overwhelming malevolent aura and needs to be suppressed in the Demon Locking Tower.

What's wrong with placing it in the Sword Pavilion?"

As Elder Lin spoke, he glared at Meng Fan again, feeling a bit annoyed.

He picked up the Black Spring Sword again and said to Meng Fan, "You brat, since you look down on the foundation of the Sword Pavilion, today I'll let you see it for yourself!"

Elder Lin stood up from the meditation cushion and said to Meng Fan, "Follow me!"

He originally planned to put the Black Spring Sword in its place after Meng Fan left.

But now he changed his mind and decided to let Meng Fan "see the world."

Meng Fan was his only direct disciple and the future master of the Sword Pavilion. It was time for this kid to learn more about the Sword Pavilion.

Elder Lin, holding the Black Spring Sword, stepped onto the stairs leading to the third floor of the Sword Pavilion.

Meng Fan's eyes lit up, and he quickly followed Elder Lin.

He had been in the Sword Pavilion for over a year and had only been to the third floor once, when Elder Lin gifted him the Red Sheep Sword.

Speaking of this, Senior Disciple Luo felt embarrassed.

He had been in the Sword Pavilion for so many years but had never been to the third floor, only the second floor at most.

A few moments later, Meng Fan followed Elder Lin to the third floor of the Sword Pavilion.

But after reaching the third floor, Elder Lin did not stop and continued to walk towards the stairs leading to the fourth floor.

Meng Fan's heart skipped a beat. Were they going to the fourth floor?

He had never been to the fourth floor and couldn't help but feel a surge of anticipation.

Soon, he followed Elder Lin to the fourth floor.

Elder Lin turned to look at Meng Fan and smiled, "This is your first time on the fourth floor, isn't it?"

Meng Fan nodded, "Yes, Master!"

He glanced around the fourth floor of the Sword Pavilion. It was smaller than the third floor and had less Sword Qi.

This was normal, as the Sword Pavilion was a tapered building.

The fourth floor of the Sword Pavilion mostly contained Dao Swords, with a few Divine Swords.

The third floor mostly contained Law Swords, with a few Dao Swords.

The second floor mostly contained Spiritual Swords, with a few Law Swords.

The first floor mostly contained Ordinary Swords, with a few Spiritual Swords.

***

Meng Fan's heart stirred. If this pattern continued...

Then wouldn't the fifth floor mostly contain Divine Swords, with a few—Immortal Swords?

Elder Lin saw the shock on Meng Fan's face and laughed, "In the future, you can come to the fourth floor more often. Today, our goal is the fifth floor!"

You brat, still dare to look down on the Sword Pavilion?

Are you shocked now?

Elder Lin thought smugly.

Then he continued to step towards the stairs leading to the upper floor.

Meng Fan snapped out of his daze and quickly followed Elder Lin. He couldn't wait to see if his guess was correct.

Soon, they reached the fifth and top floor of the Sword Pavilion!

The fifth floor of the Sword Pavilion was not large and felt a bit cramped.

There weren't many swords scattered around, and Meng Fan counted only a dozen or so at a glance.

In fact, with Meng Fan's limited knowledge, he could only recognize Law Swords. He couldn't identify swords beyond that level.

But Elder Lin acted as a guide, saying to Meng Fan, "The fifth floor of the Sword Pavilion houses a total of thirteen swords.

Nine Divine Swords, three Immortal Swords, and one Ghost Sword!

But now, with this Black Spring Sword, there are fourteen in total."

Every sword on the fifth floor of the Sword Pavilion was beyond the level of Dao Swords!

Meng Fan's guess was correct. The fifth floor of the Sword Pavilion indeed mostly contained Divine Swords, with a few Immortal Swords.

The Shu Mountain Sword Pavilion truly lived up to its reputation.

Even the Sword Pavilions of the Kunlun Sword Sect and the Limitless Sword Sect were nothing compared to the Shu Mountain Sword Pavilion, not even close!

"Master, this..." Meng Fan was shocked, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say.

The foundation of the Shu Mountain Sword Pavilion had indeed exceeded his expectations.

He originally thought that having one or two Divine Swords in the Shu Mountain Sword Pavilion would already be the limit.

After all, Divine Swords were the pinnacle of human craftsmanship.

Even a figure like the Sword Immortal of Alchemy, who dominated the world hundreds of years ago, only had one Divine Sword.

No wonder Master looked down on the Sword Immortal of Alchemy's Azure Fish Sword. With so many Divine Swords in the Shu Mountain Sword Pavilion, he could use whichever one he wanted. Why care about an Azure Fish Sword?

Looking at the Divine Swords, Immortal Swords, and Ghost Swords on this floor, Meng Fan couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

In the end, his vision was too narrow.

The Shu Mountain Sword Sect's fame was not built on empty reputation accumulated over dozens of generations.

The foundation of their Sword Dao was truly terrifying!

"Disciple, do you understand now? The Sword Pavilion is the place where the Shu Mountain Sword Sect stores its sword weapons, whether they are Divine Swords or Immortal Swords!

As for the Demon Locking Tower, it's just incidental.

The Demon Locking Tower is indeed powerful and terrifying, but it is not specifically for storing sword weapons."

In terms of status, the Sword Pavilion was naturally not as prestigious as the Demon Locking Tower, but as the "pillar" of the Sword Pavilion, Elder Lin couldn't lose his momentum.

"I understand," Meng Fan said.

Elder Lin smiled and said, "Disciple, you are my only direct disciple, so the Shu Mountain Sword Pavilion will eventually be handed over to you.

Now you should understand how heavy the burden on your shoulders is, right?

Although you are indeed excellent, you must not be arrogant and complacent. You must know that the responsibility you wish to bear far exceeds that of others.

These swords will one day need you to protect them!"

Elder Lin rarely played the role of a master, but now he was earnestly "educating" Meng Fan.
