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

Chapter 262 – Meng Fan: I really can’t handle this

"Meng Fan, that sword wasn't bad!" Meng Fan nodded, a rare look of admiration on his face as he glanced at Wu Tian.

Then he raised his hand, not even using the Hong Qi Sword, but simply extending two fingers.

With his index and middle fingers together, he casually pointed forward.

"Sword Comes."

Having just spent a day and night comprehending the Sword God Stele in the Sword God Temple, Meng Fan hadn't yet fully merged "Sword Comes" and "Annihilation of All Directions" into one technique. However, he had gained a deeper understanding of "Sword Comes."

Now, Meng Fan's "Sword Comes" could summon not only sword weapons but also sword souls!

Opposite him, Wu Tian's face changed drastically.

He realized that with Meng Fan's gesture, he had lost control over the sword soul he had just unleashed.

He could clearly sense that his sword soul had changed direction and was now slowly slashing back towards him.

This...

Unbelievable!

Wu Tian looked at Meng Fan in horror. This technique was simply defying the heavens.

To be able to seize control of someone else's sword soul for one's own use—how could anyone fight against that?

Despair filled Wu Tian's heart.

Even if he created the most powerful sword techniques in the future, he would never be a match for Meng Fan.

The thought of defeating Meng Fan was now a distant dream.

Meng Fan, having mastered Wu Tian's sword soul with a single "Sword Comes," quickly absorbed its mysteries.

Although he had never studied Buddhist teachings, his understanding of the Sword Dao was unparalleled.

They say, "Good and evil cannot coexist."

From Wu Tian's sword soul, Meng Fan comprehended a method to integrate both good and evil.

In the future, he could more easily incorporate demonic sword techniques like the "Seven Absolute Demon Swords" and the "Eternal Night Sword Technique" into his own "Myriad Swords Returning to Me."

In a sense, Wu Tian's sword had indeed provided Meng Fan with some insight.

In a good mood, Meng Fan said to Wu Tian, "Xiao Tian, your sword is indeed impressive, but it has flaws.

I know you sought me out for a spar to get my guidance on this sword.

Your sword is half good, half evil, half Buddhist, half demonic—quite unique.

But you should remember one thing: evil cannot suppress good.

You can embrace the demonic, but you must not let the demonic embrace you!"

With that, Meng Fan waved his hand, dispersing the sword soul, and turned to walk back to the Sword Pavilion.

Wu Tian frowned, carefully pondering Meng Fan's words.

After a moment, he snapped out of it and chased after Meng Fan, shouting, "Meng Fan, who are you calling Xiao Tian? Do you think you can call me that?"

Meng Fan ignored Wu Tian's grumbling and went straight back to his room, closing the door behind him.

Wu Tian, that kid, did have some talent.

That sword just now had indeed given Meng Fan a bit of insight.

Back in his room, Meng Fan sat cross-legged on his bed and began a new attempt.

Although he wasn't currently comprehending the Sword God Stele, Meng Fan possessed the supreme talent of Sword Dao Transcendence, making his understanding of the Sword Dao unparalleled.

He began to attempt merging the "Seven Absolute Demon Swords" and the "Thunderous Sword Technique."

The "Seven Absolute Demon Swords" was a demonic sword technique Meng Fan had obtained from the Sword Wraith Memory of the Demon Sword.

It was a thoroughly demonic sword technique, heartless and ruthless, driving one to madness!

Even a powerful sword demon would lose control of their mind and become consumed by slaughter when using this technique.

In some ways, it was even more terrifying and extreme than the Supreme Heartless Sword.

Thus, after obtaining this technique, Meng Fan had never used it, fearing he couldn't control it and that it would affect his mind, leading to inner demons.

Now that Meng Fan had cultivated his Divine Soul, he had fewer concerns.

With the Primordial Dao and Myriad Swords Returning to Me, Meng Fan was confident he could "tame" this sword technique.

Most importantly, he had gained some insight from Wu Tian's sword just now.

This sparked the idea of merging the "Thunderous Sword Technique" and the "Seven Absolute Demon Swords" into one!

"Without the Sword God Stele, it will be difficult to fully merge these two techniques, but at least I can find a direction and start the process."

Meng Fan closed his eyes and began wholeheartedly merging the two sword techniques.

This was an attempt, a beginning.

He wanted to merge all his learned techniques into one ultimate, peerless sword technique, and merging these two techniques was the first step.

If he couldn't merge these two techniques, how could he merge hundreds of techniques into one?

If the true Myriad Swords Returning to Me succeeded...

One sword strike,

Immortals would kneel!

The next day, Meng Fan opened his eyes, feeling a bit helpless.

Even with his extraordinary talent, he couldn't merge the two techniques into one overnight.

Merging two techniques was much harder than creating two new ones!

During the day, Meng Fan didn't attempt any more cultivation or merging.

He had more important things to do!

Making money...

With Spirit Stones, he could comprehend the Sword God Stele, and with the Primordial Sword Dao, his efficiency would be tenfold, even a hundredfold, compared to figuring it out on his own.

Meng Fan went to Liu Yanping's courtyard, ready to continue his "teaching" plan.

"Senior Brother Meng, I've been thinking lately, and I feel like you're deceiving me," Liu Yanping said, her face full of resentment as she saw Meng Fan.

"What's wrong?" Meng Fan asked, a bit puzzled.

"You said I couldn't cultivate Sword Momentum because I'm in the True Martial Realm, but Yang Shishi is also in the True Martial Realm and hasn't stepped into the Heavenly Origin Realm. Why has she cultivated Sword Momentum?" Liu Yanping looked at Meng Fan with dissatisfaction.

Clearly, Meng Fan had been fooling her.

"Yang Shishi has a better foundation than you. Your grandfather is an Elder in the Alchemy Hall, while her grandfather is an Elder in the Enforcement Hall. The training and influence you both received from a young age are different!" Meng Fan's explanation did have a bit of a deceptive tone.

"I thought you were my friend, but you're just toying with me. You don't want to teach me!" Liu Yanping, having figured this out, was no longer willing to listen to Meng Fan's excuses.

"Don't doubt me. Didn't Yang Shishi enter the True Martial Realm before you? Didn't she cultivate Sword Intent before you? And her Sword Intent was self-taught, while I had to guide you step by step to learn yours!"

"So you're saying I'm dumber than her? That I'm not as good as her?"

To be honest, Meng Fan did think that, but it wasn't convenient to say it out loud as it would be too discouraging.

Seeing Meng Fan not refuting her, Liu Yanping felt even more annoyed, as if he agreed with her words.

"I don't care, I want to cultivate Sword Momentum too! I've cultivated the Sword Intent of the Emerald Sea Tide Rises Sword for so long, why can't I cultivate its Sword Momentum?"

Meng Fan looked troubled, "It's very difficult to cultivate the Sword Momentum of the Emerald Sea Tide Rises Sword, and..."

"And what? If others can do it, so can I! If someone gives you a thousand Spirit Stones, Liu Ye Han will give you two thousand. If you help me cultivate the Sword Momentum of the Emerald Sea Tide Rises Sword, I'll give you three thousand!"

The rich woman's skill activated once again.

This...

Meng Fan, as always, couldn't resist.

"Deal!"
