Chapter 801: Chapter 800: Xu Fan’s Purpose Chapter 801: Chapter 800: Xu Fan’s Purpose Shen Yisen invited Xu Fan and his family to visit the Sect at the Great Tang.

Along the way, they passed by Yanwu Square, where many disciples were practicing martial arts.

About a dozen elite sect members had also seen the world and could be dismissed.

At this point, only Shen Yisen, Shen Jianting, and three Elders remained.

The Sword Heaven Sect’s hospitality towards Xu Fan and his family was extremely grand.

Xu Fan himself was capable of shouldering it; with his strength, status, and the assistance he had provided to the Sword Heaven Sect, he was certainly entitled to such treatment.

After exchanging pleasantries for a brief moment, they got down to business.

...

Xu Fan looked at Shen Yisen and slowly began to speak, “Sect Master Shen, I have come here to discuss an important matter with you.”

Shen Yisen looked back at Xu Fan with an understanding expression, having been waiting for this moment.

He said, “Jian Ting told me after coming out of the Northern Border Ruins last time that if it had not been for Young Master Xu Fan’s righteous assistance, he would not have been able to obtain the Divine Swords.”

He added, “Xu Fan not only helped Jian Ting but also our entire Sword Heaven Sect.

There’s no need for formalities, Young Master Xu Fan, please speak frankly if you have any requests.”

Shen Jianting, with a solemn expression, earnestly said, “Brother Xu, please give your instructions directly.”

This statement was very straightforward.

The three Elders glanced at each other, not saying anything.

Their expressions were somewhat unnatural.

As the Young Master of the Sword Heaven Sect and the Sect Master’s own grandson, Shen Jianting’s words never represented just one person, but the entire Sword Heaven Sect.

If Xu Fan’s request were a simple one, that would be fine, but what if it was excessive?

The three Elders were all somewhat nervously fixating on Xu Fan.

Although they had many opinions, no one dared to voice them in front of Xu Fan.

“Then let me thank you in advance!” Seeing that their attitudes were very favorable, Xu Fan finally spoke, “Sect Master Shen, I’ve heard that your sect possesses a Sword Tomb.

Would it be possible for me to enter it?”

“Shua shua shua!”

Instantly, all five members of the Sword Heaven Sect looked at him, their faces full of shock.

The Sword Heaven Sect indeed had a Sword Tomb, located atop Burial Sword Peak.

As the name suggests, the Sword Tomb is a place where swords are buried, the graveyard for swords.

Within the Sword Tomb were buried the ancestral swords of the deceased disciples, with tens of thousands of swords laid to rest together, under unified care.

Disciples of the Sword Heaven Sect who reached the pinnacle of Grandmaster status were granted a single opportunity to enter the Sword Tomb and earn the acknowledgement of a particular sword, which they could then take to become their exclusive personal weapon.

What Shen Jianting obtained from the Sword Tomb was not an ordinary sword, but a Divine Sword.

Divine Swords have their own consciousness, and the ancestral swords of past Sect Masters were Divine Swords.

He astonishingly gained the recognition of seven Divine Swords all at once, shocking the entire Sword Mountain Sect.

Before that, the most talented and skilled individuals had managed to gain the recognition of only one or two Divine Swords at most.

Thus, Shen Jianting was hailed as the Young Sword Saint and was also the most talented disciple that the Celestial Sword Sect had seen since its founding a thousand years ago.

As can be seen.

The Sword Tomb was tied to the very lifeline of the Sword Heaven Sect and was an extremely important place within the Sect.

It was akin to the Shaolin Temple’s Scripture Pavilion—could just anyone casually enter it?

Therefore, when Xu Fan made his request,

Everyone from the Sword Heaven Sect present was somewhat shocked and taken aback.

Shen Jianting was only momentarily stunned before he blurted out, “Big Brother Xu, the Sword Tomb is in…”

Before he could finish the sentence, the Grand Elder hastily interrupted.

The Grand Elder apologized with clasped hands, “Mister Xu, the Sword Tomb is far too important to our Sword Heaven Sect, there really is no way around it.

Please, choose anything else, we will certainly not refuse.

We are truly sorry!”

The Grand Elder’s entire demeanor was very polite, and the apology on his face was genuine, but the refusal in his words was unquestionable.

The Second Elder and the Third Elder, sitting beside him, were also nodding in agreement.

They were in a predicament as well, as the Sword Tomb was not only inconvenient for outsiders to enter but also had recently suffered an accident, forbidding even Sect disciples from approaching.

Under normal circumstances, they might have turned a blind eye.

Even though they all greatly dreaded Xu Fan’s formidable strength—having witnessed him single-handedly annihilate the Luo Tian Sect—they had no choice.

Shen Yisen’s expression was one of difficulty, and he stroked his beard habitually, as if in thought.

Shen Jianting quickly said, “Grand Elder, Big Brother Xu…”, but he was cut short yet again as the Second Elder patted his shoulder and shook his head.

Xu Fan, seeing this, was not angered, but simply smiled.

“I guess the Sword Tomb has been a bit restless lately, hasn’t it!”

“…!”

At those words, everyone’s expressions were even more shocked than when they first heard his request to enter the Sword Tomb!

They all stared at Xu Fan, entirely flabbergasted.

How did he know?

Xu Fan was indeed correct, ever since Shen Jianting emerged from the Sword Tomb, the previously calm and undisturbed tomb had started to become agitated.

Every night, a series of chilling screams and howls would echo, as if countless ghosts and evil spirits were holding a gathering, demons dancing wildly, and the once-sealed seals began to stir restlessly, with many of the Sword Tomb’s seals already broken.

Most terrifying was that the Divine Swords, which had been treasured for a millennium, had developed sentience.

Should they break through the seals, the consequences would be unthinkable.

To this day, more than half a month later, the Sword Tomb had not calmed down but had instead grown more severe.

Three Elders of the Sword Heaven Sect, who had been in secluded cultivation for decades, were all awakened and had to forcefully exit seclusion, joining forces to temporarily suppress the situation.

But this was not a long-term solution.

Because there were simply too many swords within the Sword Tomb, and not a few of them Divine Swords.

Should the three Elders slack off, or fail to suppress them, the entire Sword Heaven Sect, and even the surrounding Sects, would face a dire crisis.

This matter was absolutely Sword Heaven Sect’s biggest secret, known to no more than ten people.

How did Xu Fan know?

Their expressions were so obviously stunned that Xu Fan knew he hadn’t spoken wrongly and, smiling, he narrowed his eyes and said, “You need not worry too much, I can solve it.”

“Really!?”

Instantly, Shen Yisen was ecstatic, standing up with a slight tremor in his voice, “Young Master Xu, are you serious?

Do you really have a way to solve it?”

Xu Fan had anticipated his excitement and replied with a calm demeanor, “Of course, why else would I have come here specially?

The first time I saw the seven Divine Swords with Xiao Ting in the Northern Border Ruins, I knew.”

“That’s why I told Xiao Ting at that time that my condition would absolutely be beneficial to the Sword Heaven Sect and not harmful at all.”

Shen Jianting recalled the time at the Northern Border Ruins, where Xu Fan indeed mentioned that the Sword Heaven Sect would certainly not refuse his request and told him not to worry about it at all.

Looking at Xu Fan, their reverence for him grew.
