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

Chapter 117 – Leaving the Scripture Pavilion, Zhenwu Nine Floors

Meng Fan felt rather helpless.

It wasn't that he wanted to keep secrets or was unwilling to teach Senior Disciple Luo the technique.

Rather, Senior Disciple Luo simply couldn't learn it because to master "Sword Comes," one first needed an extremely high level of Sword Technique mastery and Cultivation Level.

When Meng Fan mastered this sword technique, he had two special conditions:

First, he had perused countless sword scriptures, accumulating a vast foundation in the Sword Technique.

Second, he possessed a talent that transcended in the Sword Dao.

Senior Disciple Luo couldn't meet even one of these conditions, so he had no way of even glimpsing the path to this sword technique.

If it were Elder Lin, perhaps there would be some hope of successful cultivation.

But for Senior Disciple Luo, there really was no chance!

Even if Meng Fan wanted to teach him, he wouldn't know where to begin.

However, seeing the eager look on Senior Disciple Luo's face, he couldn't bear to refuse.

After all, since Meng Fan had joined the Sword Pavilion, Senior Disciple Luo had taken great care of him, and Meng Fan always remembered this kindness.

Meng Fan was always clear about who he owed and who owed him!

In the end, he could only simplify "Sword Comes," creating a low-tier version of it.

Or rather, a high-tier version of the Sword Driving Art.

Although it was much weaker than the true "Sword Comes," it became a sword technique that others could practice, with a traceable path.

It was Meng Fan's "upgrade" of the Sword Driving Art, combined with four sword techniques that complemented it.

While not as powerful as the true "Sword Comes," it was still an extremely strong sword technique.

Most importantly, this sword technique was also very stylish!

After receiving the method to cultivate this sword technique, Senior Disciple Luo happily returned to his room, presumably eager to secretly start practicing.

Meng Fan also returned to his room to silently cultivate.

"Spirit Wind Profound Art"

"Pure Yang Thunder Cultivation Scripture"

"True Scripture of Scarlet Blood"

Cultivating these three methods at the same time, with three types of True Qi advancing side by side, Meng Fan felt extremely fulfilled.

Now, Meng Fan had a more concrete understanding of his own strength.

With "Sword Comes," he could annihilate beings at the fourth level of the Heavenly Origin Realm.

If combined with "Annihilation of All Directions," even those at the fifth level of the Heavenly Origin Realm could likely be annihilated.

If he could create the third sword of Myriad Swords Returning to One, then even facing beings at the sixth level of the Heavenly Origin Realm, he would have no fear.

And once the True Scripture of Scarlet Blood was fully cultivated in the future, with the demonic energy within him strengthened, he could easily wield the Seven Absolute Demon Swords and the Eternal Night Sword Technique, further skyrocketing his combat power!

The path of the Heavenly Origin Realm seemed smooth sailing for Meng Fan.

He believed it wouldn't be long before he could elevate his opponents to the Condensation Pill Realm.

The next day, Meng Fan heard the news that Princess Yuqi had left the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.

Many Shu Mountain disciples regretted losing the opportunity to spar with Princess Yuqi.

Most importantly, Princess Yuqi had been undefeated in the True Martial Realm within the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, which was quite embarrassing for the disciples, some of whom were not convinced.

Now that Princess Yuqi had left, even the chance to regain their honor was gone.

As for the news of Meng Fan defeating Princess Yuqi and slaying Prince Gu, it had not spread.

The only people who knew about this, apart from Princess Yuqi's side, were Elder Lin and Senior Disciple Luo.

Princess Yuqi didn't mention it, and Elder Lin and Senior Disciple Luo were even less likely to speak of it.

Elder Lin and Senior Disciple Luo were well aware of Meng Fan's preference for keeping a low profile, so naturally, they wouldn't blabber about it and deliberately helped keep it a secret for Meng Fan.

In fact, although Meng Fan kept a low profile, he never deliberately hid his Cultivation Level.

When it was time for him to take action, he never hesitated!

With Princess Yuqi's departure, the Shu Mountain Sword Sect returned to its usual tranquility.

In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed.

During these days, Meng Fan had finished reading all the sword scriptures on the fourth floor of the Scripture Pavilion, accumulating a rich foundation in the Sword Technique.

At this moment, Meng Fan was practically a walking Scripture (Sword) Pavilion.

After finishing the sword scriptures on the fourth floor, Meng Fan approached Elder Wang of the Scripture Pavilion, tentatively inquiring whether he could enter the fifth floor to view the scriptures.

Elder Wang clearly told Meng Fan that he could not enter the fifth floor of the Scripture Pavilion.

Although he valued Meng Fan and admired his talent, the Scripture Pavilion had its rules, and he had already bent them as much as he could for Meng Fan.

To enter the fifth floor of the Scripture Pavilion to view the scriptures, one must have made a significant contribution to the Shu Mountain Sword Sect and then, under the instruction of the sect leader, would there be a chance to enter the fifth floor.

At present, Meng Fan clearly did not qualify.

Meng Fan didn't insist, and besides, insisting wouldn't have made a difference.

His journey of viewing the scriptures in the Scripture Pavilion came to an end.

The gains from this period actually exceeded Meng Fan's expectations.

He was very satisfied!

Originally, Meng Fan had planned to comprehend the Sword God Stele and thoroughly enhance his Sword Technique after finishing all the sword scriptures in the Scripture Pavilion.

But after reading the sword scriptures, Meng Fan changed his mind.

He vaguely felt that after reaching the Heavenly Origin Realm, comprehending the Sword God Stele would be much more effective, much better!

Moreover, Meng Fan was not far from the Heavenly Origin Realm.

The day after leaving the Scripture Pavilion, Meng Fan consumed the third lotus petal.

This time, as he had anticipated, he did not immediately break through to the ninth level of the True Martial Realm after taking it.

He needed to absorb all the remaining medicinal power of the lotus petal to break through to the ninth level of the True Martial Realm.

This time was not long, about ten days to half a month.

Meng Fan was not in a hurry!

The only regret was that after finishing the sword scriptures on the fourth floor of the Scripture Pavilion, Meng Fan still had not created the third sword of Myriad Swords Returning to One.

Even if Meng Fan wanted to rush it, he couldn't.

Myriad Swords Returning to One, in Meng Fan's definition, was actually superior to all the sword techniques of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.

Therefore, Meng Fan couldn't rush this technique; he could only wait for it to naturally develop.

Any impatience, any imperfection in this sword technique, was unacceptable to Meng Fan.

After reaching the Heavenly Origin Realm and comprehending the Sword God Stele, with Meng Fan's accumulated Sword Technique and the support of the Primordial Great Way of the Sword,

At that time, Meng Fan would surely be able to create the third sword of Myriad Swords Returning to One.

Thinking of this, Meng Fan was even less anxious, for his future was smooth and bright.

This feeling was exhilarating!

Half a month later, Meng Fan had absorbed all the medicinal power of the third lotus petal and finally reached the ninth level of the True Martial Realm as naturally as the water flows into its channel.

He was only a step, no, half a step away from the Heavenly Origin Realm!

Because for a sword cultivator at the ninth level of the True Martial Realm, as long as they had mastered Sword Intent, they could naturally break through to the Heavenly Origin Realm.

Sword Intent was a major bottleneck for breaking through from True Martial to Heavenly Origin.

But for Meng Fan, this bottleneck was as easy as child's play.

He had not only mastered Sword Intent but had also mastered several forms of Sword Momentum.

As long as Meng Fan cultivated for a few more days at the ninth level of the True Martial Realm, he could effortlessly reach the Heavenly Origin Realm.
